THE HOVEltSOK’.S MESSAGE*
The message of Gov. McDalHel
to the General Assembly is a
lengthy doonment, too lengthy for
our columns, and we therefore give
the following synopsis of it from
the Savannah News:
The Governor shows that he is
thoroughly acquainted, not only
with the financial condition and
demands of the State, bat with its
every interest, and be has present
ed them in a manner so thorough
and simple that the most illiterate
ought to be abio to understand
them.
In regard to the payment of the
bonded indebtedness of the State
due in 18S6, the Governor recom
mends the refunding thcreol in
bonds to run not less than 30 years
at not over 6 per cent, interest.
The reason for this is that long
term bonds are eagerly sought
after by Investors at low rates of
interest.
The message calls especial at
tention to the necessity of provid
ing for tho proper valuation of
property for taxation, and ex
plains the causes ol the deficit
which appears in the estimates of
the Treasurer’s receipts and ex
penditures for 1885.
In reference to the Railroad
Commission, it recommends the
passage of a law authorizing ap
peals from its decisions to the
courts of the State.
Tbo action of the Capitol Com
missioners in adopting oolitic
limestone for facing the exterior
walls of the new capitol is ex
plained, and, in the Governor's
opinion, should bo satisfactory to
every disinterested and reasonable
citizen of the Stale.
It earnestly recommends the es
tablishing of a house of correction
fertile reception of youthful felons
—of whom quite a number are now
serving in the penitentiary camps
—as suggested by Capt. Nelms,
the ctUcicnt Principal Keeper of
tho Penitentiary—and appended
to the message tho Governor pre
sents a list of reprieves and par
dons granted by him, and gives
tho reason for clemency in each
case as provided by law.
Tho State Agricultural Depart
ment is commended and the pro
priety of establishing an experi
mental farm urged on the attention
of the General Assembly, and tho
information given that the farm of
tho University of Georgia has
been tendered to the State for that
purpose.
The steady growth of our public
school system is stated, nml the
increased prosperity ol the uni
versity under tho new order of
tilings adopted in 1881 is com
mented on. It is recommended to
enlarge the scope of the school of
agriculture and mechanic arts in
the university so as to make it
really a school of technology.
This is an important matter, and
doubtless one that will receive
much attention by the General
Assembly.
The message calls attention to
the necessity for rigid inspection
and regulation of saving institu
tions and banks of deposit, and
for tho preservation and protec
tion of trust funds.
Attention is called to the neces
sity of a well-equipped and regula
ted militia, and the movement to
increase the efficiency of our vol
unteer militia will doubtless com
mand tho attention of the General
Assembly.
The necessity for amending the
constitution is urged on tbe Gen
eral Assembly, but the Governor
does not favor tho general revis
ion ol that instrument by a State
convention.
There is little doubt that tbe
suggestions contained in the mes
sage will serve as valuable guides
to the General Assembly in determ
ining what course to pu-suc on
many questions that will come up
before it. The Governor has been
in the service cf the State for
many years, and is familiar, not
only with the outlines, but the
dotaila of everjf dcpartmsnt of tbs
goruaaiat.
Ooe of tho gratifying results of
Taesday's contest is the triumph
ant re-election of Bon. Wm. R.
Morrison, of Illinois, tbe author of
the tariff reduction bill. Garfield
had a majority of G5 in his dis
trict In 1880, and Morrison’s ma
jority In tho district two years
ago was 277.- Now his majority is
not less than 1,200, and probably -
1,500. The St. Louis Republiasn : Tfl GlY8 TOO 11 M Cf WM H?S B88D
says:
“And if toe world needed a
voice of the people to tell in what
honor the horizontal reduction bill HEQCOTETIIE FOLLOWING TRICES

his distriutand spite of the treach
ery of o once friend, Hon. IVillia m
It. Moirison is re-clected. Not; tion in tbe bock ground,
the lowering clouds, nor the driz- ,
zling rain, nor the almost impas
sible roads could keep the people
back from tbe polls. In almost
every voting place Morrison cap
tured a majority and gained ma
terially upon his votes in former
years.”
The next elections which will in
terest the people of Georgia will be
those by tho General Assembly
for Senator, Judges and Solicitor
General. Electioneering and log
rolling are now the order of the j defy cnmpetii
day in Atlanta, and much valuable !

The reports from all the Con
gressional elections in the Union
do not show very decided Republi
can gains in the House of Kepre*
uentatives. Their gains in the
North will probably be almost
offset by Democratic gains in the
South. The next House will un- j
doubtedly have a good working \
Democratic majority.
We regret to learn that the
Southern Dramatic Company,
which Imd proposed to givo enter
tainments in the several cities for
the benefit of a Confederate Sol
diers’ Home, has been compelled
to abandon that undertaking, on
account of the insufficient support
received.
With the custom houses and post
offices out of the bauds of the Re
publicans, a good many States now
put in the doubtful list wouid be
easily and safely Democratic.
When the power of the Republican
party is once broken, it can never
be recovered.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES. WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON 1NDESTRUOTABLE ROCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Toted and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. 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 but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It was had for them, but it is in your
power to make it good lor you, for, as usual, wlfen good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Hoys, Chil
drens and,Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per c
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Monday Morning
and itgnill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history of the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.
