There is a fine chance that Re

delegation. IfMahone’a delegation
should be admitted and the regurlar
Republicans of that Stato ruled out,
and President Arthur be the nomi
nee by virtue oi Mahone’s votes, it
will be interesting to know what
the Blaine men will do about it.

The recent freshet unearthed a
number of~old Indian relics near
Franklhi, uniong which are an ear
prolled bimseli as a new
bscriber to the Weekly
id News gave an account
rming operations of last
', and for the encouragement
>f others we give the result. With
only one mule Mr. Turlington says
he made live bales of cotton, COO
pounds tp tbe bale; 400> bushels
corn, and 200 bushels of sweet po
tatoes, besides groundpeas, - and
chufgs. in abundance, and killed
2,600 pounds of meat, and all this

100,000 fruit trees have been plant

It will take about seveuty-live
carcasses for the military barbecue
that is proposed for tiiu occasion
of;tha annual parade of the Second
Georgia Battalion at Sparta in

The friends of President Arthur
in Washington are not in the least
discouraged at the convention out
look, and olalm that he will steadily
gain from now on until the conven
tion meets, and that Mr. Blaine,
bis principal competitor, will lose.
It cannot be denied that the Iriende
of the President fear Gen. Grant
more than they do Mr. Blaine.
They say that be is the only man
who can get the Southern delega
tions away from Mr. Arthur.
The receipts of tbo Western
Union Telegraph Company were
larger by $11,000 during tbo month
oi Marob, 1884, than they were dar
ing the corresponding month of last
year. This is said to be owing to
increased buisness induced by low
er rates at soveral important points.
It is also worthy of noto that since
the reduction of railroad fares to
threo coats por mile travel lias ap
parently been almost doubled. No
doubt tbo railroads would find it
profitable to reduce the fare to two
cents per mile.
POINTS TO TILDES.
Tho defeat of tbo Morrisou tariff
hill points to tho Domination of
Tilden as tbo next Democratic can
didate for the presidency, as the
Traud of ’70 and administrative
reform le all the issue the Democ
racy have left. It is not a pleas
ant political prospeot that tbo
Democratic party should be so re
duced, but so have determined tbe
leaders, and so it will bo unless tho
masses of the party shall determine
to reverse this decision by sending
delegates to tho national conven
tion who are not of the cut-aud
dried atripo and who want live
issues and live men.

THE TARIFF BILL DEFEATED.
On Tuesday the Morrison tarifl
bill was defeated by a vote of 169 to
166. Forty-one of the votes to de
feat tbe bill were furnished by Demo
crats. Wo are sorry that tbo bill
was defeated, for we considered it
a just and wise ouc, and were in
hope that tho Democratic party
would go before the country in
the coming Presidential campaign
upon • revenue reform platform-
Ae tbe vote ahowa that over two-
thlrdaof tho Democratic represents'
lives in Crongrcss voted for tbe
bill, it is not improbable that tho
national convention may yet make
a revenue reform platform. The
solid vote of the Republicans
against the bill commit! them as
being opposed to any further re
duction of the tariff. While Mr.
lUndall end bis followers may have
deferred tho issue, it Is one which
must bo met in tbe near future, aud
we believe that it would have been
better for tho Democratic party
and the country If had been fairly
met now. We never could see any
advantage to be gained by the
Democracy running upon the same
platform as the Republicans, and
much leas can we ece it now. We
do not believe that the Democraey
will over come into power until it
presents a definite national issue
antagonistic to tbo Republican par
ty, and,therefore o infess that we ire
