qsnugnR ■■■■■■■■ Americus Recorder. W. matter. OHclalOrgonof Wefaitcr t'enaty. 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.” STILL LEADS! POWDER Absolutely Pure. T U powder never vatic*. A marvel of parity ftrength and who!««omene**.

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*- uh Ns«t. 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.
