Washington, December 13.—As stated in last night’s dispatches, it is the intention of the administra tion to try and break democratic rule in the southern state, follow ing np the success of the movement tn Virginia. As a confirmation of that statement, it may be mention- ed as a political laet that arrange ments are now being made to wrest Tennessee and West Virginia from tho democracy. The whole bent of the stalwart element of the republi can party and of the administra tion will be in that direotion. The ory has gone forth that Tennessee must bo captured by the republi cans, and every effort is being made to Indueo the fulfillment of that de mand. The stalwart wing of the republican party is rallying to it; all that tbo stalwarts and the ad ministration oan do to secure the overthrow of the democracy in Tennessee will ho accomplished without ecruplo. It Is oIbo a no ticeable fact that the stalwarts are patting Emory Speor, of Georgia, on tho back and urging him to be come the Mahone of Georgia. But it Is to be placed to tbo credit of the political sagacity of the stal warts and the. administration that they do not expect any Immediate fruits from Georgia; they only want Mr. Speer to Inaugurate the endeavor. Their first objective point is Tennessee, and. alter that they propose to bounce upon Ar kansas; and then, if successful, they will devote themselves to oth er states, being guided in their ac tion by tbe consideration as to where tbe chances, carolully weigh ed, seems best. A Mystery Explained. One of the most learned and dig nified members of tho Austin bar got a terrible rebuke trom old Un cle Moso last week. The old man had Jim Webster hauled up before Justico Gregg for stealing his Spanish chickens. As Jim Web ster has political Influence, bo was defended by tw6 prominent law yers. Uncle Mosc was put on the stand and made a bad case against Jim Webster, testifying to having found - -some*-of tbo- chtokens- in Jim’s possession, and identifying them by the peculiarities of the breed. Ono prominent lawyer then un dertook to make Uncle Mose weak en on tho cross-examination. “Now Undo Mose,’’ said the lawyer, suppose I Was to tell you that I have at home in my yard half a dozen chickens of that Iden tical same breed?" “What would I say, boss?” “Yes, what would you say, Ifl was to tell you I’vo got that same kind of chickens In my yard?” “I would say, boss,dat Jim Web ster paid up yer fee wid my chick cns,”and a pensivo smile cropt around under tho old man's ears and met at the back of his head — Texas Siftings. The Atlanta Critics. The Atlanta Sunday Qatette has some sensible remarks about’ the lo cal dramatic critics of that city, and says “the criticisms in tbe dai ly papers of Atlanta are worthies*, and may be written by tbe office boy, pressman, police court repor ter, the editor or business mana. ger. All tbe shows that come to Atlanta are good, according to Through Georgia,” played at a ban A BeM Leap For Msney. One of the most daring cases of robbery ever recorded in the an nals of the State occurred last Fri day night on the Central railroad just above Hampton. The Expo sition train was coming on at a rat* tling pace when suddenly it came to a dead halt and a man was seen to leap off and run back up tbe track with a valise in his hand. It seems that a gentleman from Augusta, whose name did not reach ns, was on his way to Savannah with a large quantity of valuables contain ed in a valise. He had been to At lanta and, thinking everything per fectly secure, carelessly placed his burden of wealth on the seat at his side. By some means or other the robber bad been informed of the contents of the valise, and follow ed the gentleman on the cars. Seeking bis first opportunity when the man was looking out the win dow, tbe wrotch snatched up the va lise and, walking deliberately up to tho danger signal, pulled It and then, as tbe train suddenly stopped, he stepped quickly to the platform and jumped off with bis przie. The owner of the valise gave the alarm at onoo and immediately a large posse of passengers put out after the robber. As lack would have it, the train stopped in a long out, and tbe robber, finding him self unable to gain tbe woods, and being so closely pursued, dropped the valise and scrambled up the em bankment, making good his escape. The owner of tho valise showed or told how valuable it was, and we are informed it was worth over $100,000. He further states that be remembers seeing tho robber a number of times iu Atlanta, but never once d reamed be was spotting the valise.—Griffin News. A Fine Exhibit. Upon leaving for Atlan'a yester day morning, Judge J. B. Latimer carried probably one of the most unique exhibits that will be display ed at the Exposition. It consists of a pyramid of glass esses in which he shows specimen stalks of the Great Bohemain or Texas Storm Cotton. Tho lower case is two fiat squart and three float Ugh, in wfitchts aetalk of thi ■ cot ton con taining just one hundred bolls. The second case is two feet square, and two and a half feet in height and contains sixty bolls. The third seetlon of tbe pyramid is a logo oval glass cover containing a still smaller stalk but perfect in every particular. Surmounting the summit of this pyramid will be samples of the cotton In lint form. It Is artistically arranged and Is a beauty. Mr. Adrain Latimer carried with-him his mammoth collections •f Butterflies, Motbe, Dragon Flies, and othernatural curiosities, which are well worth a day’s careful stu dy. The arrangement of bis va rious cabinets (s perfect In every detail and evinces the taste and tact of tbe master hand that ar ranged them. We warrant that these displays will attraot much attention and know that our Or dinal? can oome nearer talking Cotton than any man who vislta the Exposition.—Lumpkin Inde pendent.
