It is a strange coincidence which will not happen, prohably ever again. Snelson Defeated. Hon. A, J. Snelson, who was a con¬ spicuous member of the last house, and who was a candidate for the senate, was defeated Wednesday by Hon. J. M. Terrell. Mr. Snelson will therefore be missed from the next legislature, and a new man will have to take up his notions of reform. The test was in the th'rty-sixth, and both candidates claimed to be densecratic nominees. Snelson car¬ ried Douglas county by about fifty votes and Campbell by about three hundred and fifty. Terrell had a sweeping wether, victory in Coweta and Meri¬ and has a majority of several hundred in the district. To Nervous Men.

The Philadelphia Press remarks : •‘The young men who for years squandered their dollars in purchas¬ ing Lousiana lottery tickets will now have a chance to invest in marriage licenses—another kind of lottery tickets.” Perhaps, but the prizes outnumber the blanks in the mar¬ riage lottery. The Loss of a Cherished Bight. Columbus Enquirer-Sun. The feature in the bill which 1 b pulsive, and which had the opposit¬ ion of even those papers that vigorous in their endeavors to secure the suppression of the lottery, is the dangerous control it gives the master General, in allowing him to open and investigate private matter upon the; mere suspicion it contains money or checks for tery tickets. Such espionage of mails is repugnant to every sentiment and it would seem many of the Senators and tatives cannot possibly be aware the full scope of tho bill they passed. The inquisitorial granted the Postoffice by this bitUwttl assuredly arouse position and resentment, as the manner in which it has rushed through both houses debate engenders suspicion there was some ulterior object securing this authority to the mails. The people of this try have cherished as an right the protection of their correspondence, but under this that right no longer exists. Williamson Locals. Williamson, Ga., Oct. 2.— of rain!
