The New York Herald is so con
fident of the election of Cleveland
that It Is figuring out r cabinet for
hin.7 1
The Stvannah Tiroes says Mr.
Sid. Lewis, late of the Macon Tele
graph, has accepted an editorial
position on the Albany News and
Advertiser. We have seen no an
nouncement of it, but hope it is
trae, for we would like such a live
ly neighbor.
There seems to be no ground to
hope that tho now capital will be
built out ot Georgia material and
by Georgians. This Is too bad.
Alter all, the Gate City will hare
to give up its claim to being the
second Chicago, an Chicago meu
will probably get Lbe coni roots lor
the better items of the job.
A gentleman in Birmingham,
Ala., received, a few days ago, a
letter written in Paris, from Stan
ley, the great African explorer, in
which lie said,‘'Alabama and Flor
ida would .yearly receive many
thousands of thrifty French and
Italian immigrants were any cifort
made to turn them thither."
Voles, it is thought, will be
Worth $15 each iu Ohio and India,
na in the Presidential election.
Twenty thousand floaters in each
State at that price, together with
what usually sticks to the hands
of tlie soap committees, would
knock the spots out of u million
dollar Mil. Messrs. Klkins and
Dudley may take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
Wo are not responsible for the
following—it was handed in and
the author beat a precipitate retreat
before we could lie properly eillcd:
According to Matther, St. John
has a chance to make his mark.
Tho enthusiasm for him at present
is Lukewarm, though it will doubt
less begin to Paul lieforc election,
and perhaps Peter out altogether
with the Ants or the voters in
November.
HOn'KLI, COBB.
The editor of tbe Mllleclgcvllle
Union and Recorder Is writing a
scries of personal sketches about
“jjfcnrgta’s i>ead Statesmen.” Tbe
last ol these sketches is devoted to
Howell Cobb, which we reproduce
as being of local interest:
It was the writer’s good fortune
to have been born in the same
town (Athens) Where tbe subject
of this little sketch first drew tbe
breath ol life. The first time we
ever saw him wc had been chin-
qnepin banting on Moor’s branch,
in the northern suburbs of the
town, and stopped at bis father's
blacksmith shop where "Cobbham”
now is. His father, a very large
man, weighing 300 or more pounds,
was sitting in front of the shop.
Howell was talking to him on busi
ness as we came up to get a drink
of water. He was then a portly,
fine looking young man, and if we
arc not in error, was at that time
Solicitor General of the Western
Circuit to which Clnrk county was
attached. Wc were tired uml hun
gry, as boys arc after a Saturday's
tramp. The generous man asked
ns how manv chinqtiepins we had ?
We told him shout 200. “Well”,
says he “I'll buy them,” and he
gave iis ten cents, the first money
wc ever earned, and that is why
we remember tbe occurence so well
after so many years have passed.
But, ns we started home lie gave
us tho chinquepins back, ami said,
“go up town and buy some cake,
and be a good boy." '
Pending his campaign wilhChns.
.1. McDonald, (or the office of
Governor of Georgia, the writer
ami Mr. S. Houghton, were «ditors
of tho Federal Union in this city.
Col. D. O'. Campbell was the prevl
oils editor and made severe char
ges against Mr. Cobb. Hut buy
ing the paper in the middle of the
campaign, and it was ml hot, we
had to keep up the fire that Col.
Campbell bad begun.
The election for Mr. Oobti by an
overwhelming majority made us;
very blue. And when the Gover-j A .
nor came to Millcdgcville, we were [ **“
ashamed to meet him, and dodged
him ns well as we could Rut one
day we cainc suddenly lace to lace
with him on turning a corner. He
slopped its and said, “young man,
I’m glad to meet you. You have
abused me in your pn|>er worse
than n pick-pocket. I have held
you iu my arms when yon wore
a baby; 1 can forgive you because
you are of tender years, but your
associate, Bongliton, is old, and
ought to have known better; I
can’t forgive him." After that the
Governor and ourself were as inti
mate as any two political friends
conld he.
