Americus Recorder. 1BK THIRD DISTRICT. Dodge county gives Crisp 133 majority. ‘ Telfair county gives Crisp 356 majority. Tbis election reminds one of 1876 In tbe way the returns come in. This ts tbe turning period in tbe official existence of many a Federal placeman. And their boots tremble in sympathy with them. Tbe last two days has been a kind of see-saw arrangement in pol itics. Now you see it, and now you don’t. Now we go up, and now we go down. “it Illinois goes Democratic, and “our Carter’’ is elected Governor, as tbe indications now are, we shall make a bonfire of our old straw hat and proceed to decorate tbe town with deep-hued carmine. It is said that twenty years ago there were nearly fifty cotton mills In Glasgow, Scotland. To day there is barely a dozen, and those likely to be closed. It might bavp been added that there are now about fifty in tbe Southern States, where there were only a dozen twenty years ago. Tbis is sufficient to show the drift of business. 7 THE LEGISLATE UK. The Georgia legislature convened on Wednesday. The House of Representatives organized by electing Hon. W. A. Little, of Alussngee, Speaker, by an unanimous vote. Mark Hardin was elected Clerk; L. M. Lamar, of Pulaski, Speaker pro tern; J. li. Smith, of Coffee, messenger; 11. J. Wilton, of Richmond, Doorkeeper. Tbe Senato organized by tbe elec tion of Dr. U. H- Cailton,of Clark, as President; W. A. Harris, of Worth, Secretary; A. J. Cameron, Meaionger; Lem Aired, Door- •keeper. A PAIR COl'NT. Tbe Republican papers of the North have made much ado aboul what they are pleased to term the frauds in the ballot box at the South, and have frequently ex pressed themselves that a “fair count'’ would give the Republicans a majority in the South. At the election hold in this city on Tues day one of the mauagers of the election was Major Black, postmas ter, and he it was who deposited every ballot in tho box and scanned every ballot as it was eouuted. The ballots taken from the box tallied to a dot with the list of voters kept by the elerks. Yet the Democratic candidate for congress received a majority of the voles cast at tbis precinct, although it wus confident ly expected by the Republicans that their candidate would receive a majority. If there was “fraud" in this, then there is fraud in the ballot all over the country. The trouble with the Republicans is that they connt upon every negro vot ing the Republican ticket, when in tact, very many ot them vote the - straight Democratic ticket, and their number is increasing every year. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. Tbe New York Herald lias open- ened a crusade on tile Associated Press for the very partisan dis patches it lias sent out during the present campaign; and it calls oj all Democratic papeis to unite with it in a protest against this, and not only to protest, but to take steps to prevent our news from being manufactured for us, or distorted so as to deceive. Tho safety of this country lies in a free and inde pendent press. That press is muzzled if its source of news is tampered with, if it cannot get a thoroughly fair and impartial re- j port of events, if the Democratic j news is suppressed and that favor- j able to the Republicans not only [ given but giveu in an exaggerated form. The Associated Press is supposed to be non-partisan and freu irom politics. It ts an association of newspapers, Djtmooratle, Republi- Cio and Greenback, to secure tbe naw«, tbe truth and tbe whole truth. There are- fully as many Democratic subscribers to ft, and these Democratic Journals cannot allow their columns to be made the medium of giving to the country deceptive information, tortured and twisted so as to present a false idea of the situation. It is almost impossible to estimate the immedi- ate advantage that the Republicans: _ _ possess in being thus able to pre-| TO Gl76 YOD 211 1(163 Of Wfclt HSS BE6Q sent facts favorable to their party in the columns of every Democratic paper in the Union. -Sa’rat leu Army Titles. Loudon Troth. The other day Maud and I were coming out of a shop near Oxford Circus, when a woman in “Salva tion bonnet” (does it not sound profane) ? banded us a bit of paper.

These manufacturers placed their faith on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given for piece goods, hut the trade did not come, the continuous warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there was nothing left for them to do hut to fail and turn their goods over to an Assignee.
