TUESDAY. SEPT. 3*. ISM.
The Blaine Hippodrome is ex
bibltlng in Ohio, and being a free
- show draws large erowds.
Alabama has now twenty-three
cotton mills, Georgia sixty-two,
North Carolina ninety-two, South
Carotins eighty-one, Tennessee
thirty-three, Virginia fourteen,
Maryland twenty-four, Louisiana
seven, Mississippi eleven, Texas
six, Kentucky five, Arkansas four,
Florida two.
On an action against the Central
railroad for damages caused by the
sinking of its steamboat, the Wyly,
in the Chattahoochee river, Judge
Clark has decided that the Central
railroad, under its charter, has no
power to own or operate a steam
boat, and it is not liable for dam
ages resulting therefrom.
AS BXPOSmON SUGGESTION.
The Miliedgeville Chronicle sug
gests that if a number of the mon
ied men o( the State would join
together and advanco the money
necessary to make a creditable
exhibition of Georgia’s resources
at the New Orleans Exposition,
the money would bo refunded
these patriotic gentlemen by the
next legislature. The Chronicle
very appropriately suggests that
Gov. Brown should bead the list,
probably because it knows that
the Governor generally has had j
sufficient influence with the iegis-1
laturo in the past to always get
his money back on any advances
made.
Wheat is boing shipped in large
quantities to Chicago to enable
the gambling “shorts" to meet
their September contracts. We
are told of the shipment ol 95,000
bushels from Buffalo alone for this
purpose. Quite likely most of this
wheat was once shipped from
Chicago to Buffalo. Now the
"shorts” are trying to reduce their
margins by Importing so much
wheat at to reduce the exchange
quotations. Is any man so bard of
comprehension that he cannot sec
that this shipment and re-shipment
notto meet the demands ot con
sumers or the needs of legitimate
trade, but only to aid speculators
in the settlement of their con
tracts, must necessarily add to the
oost of wheat or flour to consumers,
without iu the least hcncfltting
the farmers who raised it f
The American Cyclopedia de-
floes oolite, the material of which
the new capitol is to be construct
ed, as follows: "Oolite: a name
given to limestone composed of
rounded particles, like the roe or
eggs of a fish. Each one of the
grains has usually a small frag
ment of sand as a nucleus, around
which concentric layers ol calcare
ous matter have accumulated. The
name of oolite is also applied to a
croup of strata of .he Jourassic
period largely developed in Eng-
land, iu which limestone of this
cbaractci occuis.”
Pronounced False.
Lumpkin Independent
The Columbus Enquirer-Snn, of
Tuesday, contained the following:
“We hear that the Lumpkin and
Americus railroad has adopted the
narrow gunge, which it appears
was done by the Americus influ
ence. It is reported that Lumpkin
is not satisfied, and that some of
its largest subscribers to the road
have given notice that it the road
was to be of narrow gurge, that
they would cancel their subscrip
tions. There is a strong probabil
ity that a road will be built from
Lumpkin to Florence, in the inter- j
est of Columbus, being the short
est way ol reaching the section of
country through which the Lump
kin and Americus road will pass.”
There is not a subscriber to the
Lumpkin, Preston and Americus
Kailroad, who lives in Lumpkin,
but what is perfectly satisfied witli
the notion of the Hoard of Direc
tors in adopting a narrow guage
road. No oue bus given notice to
the Directors that they would can
cel their subscriptions, but on the j
other hand every dollar subscribed
will be promptly paid.
There is no probability of a rail
road being built from Lumpkin to
Florence in the interest of Colum
bus, unless it is done entirely by
Columbus capital, and if such a
road is built we will be no nearer
to Columbus than we now are if
the river continues in such condi
tion ns described in the following
paragraph taken from the same
paper:
“The boats are all down ttie
river now and none of them will
attempt to come to this city again
until it rains. The river is so low
that It is next to an impossibility
to navigate it.”

Senator Don Camera n, it is said,
bat mode peace with Blaine and
ha* been selected to distribute tbe
bribery fund in Ohio. The impres
sion hot been very general, since
Cameron returned from Europe,
that the Blaine faction in Pennsyl
vania had tnsdo some sort of com
bination to defeat Cameron’s
re-election to the Senate, and that
Cameron was disposed not only to
light bis own battle, but also to do
what be could to beat Blaine.
Blaine's visit to Philadelphia,
however, brought about an under
standing between the two chief-
tans. If the situation is rightly
understood Cameron is now to do
his best for Blaine, and the Blaine
faction is to withdraw all opposi
tion to Cameron’s return to the
Senate.
Cameron will be of grent service
to Blaine. He is not only a shrewd
politician but he can raise more
money in Philadelphia, perhaps,
for campaign purposes, than any
man in Pennsylvania. As money
iewbat Blaine wants, Cameron will j fore leaving towiT
be Invaluable to him. John lloacb
and the Cramps, the owners of tbe
two great shipyard!, have promised
liberal contributions. Solicitors
have been appointed to visit the
national banks, public officials and
everybody else likely to contribute
anything to buy Ohio. A good,
big majority Is wanted in that state
for effect. The eflect ought not to
be great, however, U the big ma
jority ia obtained, because majori
ties obtained by bribery do uot
show tbe real sentiments of the
people. The fact that thousands
of vote* were bought in Maine de
stroyed tbe effect, to a great
extent, of the Urge Republican
■fllority obtained there.—Sava*-

Answer to Colnmhns ' Warehousemen.
Lumpkin Independent.
In the Independent of Inst week
appeared an article in which it was
stntcd tbnt some ugly rumors were
afloat in regard to losses in weight
on cotton carried to the market
accessible to Lumpkin and cited
ono case happening in Columbus.
Since seeing the article in question
tha warehousemen and scnlesmcn
of Columbus have published a ca -d
in the Columbus Enquirer-Sun in
which they denied any knowledge
of such occurrence and defied any
man to substantiate it. The En
quirer als^ asks that wc give the
date of the occurrence and the
name of our informant.
On September 16th Mr. John P.
West, of Lumpkin, was in Colum
bus, heard the ease alluded to talk
ed upon the streets, as a common
rumor and upon bis return related
in Lumpkin what ho had heard
iu Columbus. Ho stntes this in a
card over his own signature sent
to tho Enquirer Sun lor publica
tion.
On Thursday of last week Mr. Wil
loughby Richardson, a thorough
ly reliable young farmer of this
county, was iu Columbus and
threw off n load of cotton at the
Fontaino Warehouse. Mr. Rich
ardson says that just ahead of him
was u young farmer who had two
baloa of cotton weighed and re
marked to him tlmt his cotton had
only lost four pounds at this ware
house while at “tlio other” Ware
house It lost one hundred pounds.
The young farmer gave as his j
reason for moving the cottou the j
excessive loss in weight and told'
Mr. Richardson that he would not I
get quite a3 much in price but |
the weights were mure satisfactory.
Mr. Richardson was accompanied j
by Mr. B. II. Overby and several 1
other Stewart county planters who
