There are three colored men in the preient Georgia Legislature. That rabbit sent to Mr. Cleve land from an Alabama cemetery, did the work. We Imaginfcthat Thanksgiving day will be more heartily observed in the South this year than usual. The legislature got through with the work of g judges and solicitors with commendable ra pidity. Cotton has advanced several points since the election of Cleve land, and the stock market has an upward tendency. “Sunset” Cox gave a good ac count of himself on Tuesday. Two years ago his majority in his dis trict was 10,963, which was quite large enough to make him feel secure agaiast any counting out. Now ho goes back to Congress with a majority of 14,185. It seems a settled belief that cx- Seaator McDonald, of Indiana, will bo attorney-general. Mr. Hendricks will be vice-president, Mr. Voorhees has secured his re- election to the senate, and of the trio of big Indiana democrats Mr. McDonald is the only one not pro vlded for. The New York Journalist an nounces that Mr. Bennett has sold one-third of the Herald to J. W. Mackay at a price which fixed its valuation at $5,250,000. This sale, according to the same authority was necessary in order to enable Mr. Bennett to pay his assessments on tho new cable stock: but the statement lacks confirmation. Although Governor Cleveland did not carry his homo county, Eric, he reduced Garfield’s plurali ty of 3,300 to 1,488 for Blaine. In Buifalo he gained in most of the wards on the democratic vote of 1880, and bis heaviost gains were in the best Republican wards. Ho lost in some Democratic wards where local candidates were traded against tho electoral ticket. The assertion made during the last session of Cong i css that the tariff reformers would be repudi ated at the polls has not boon veri fied. Of tho forty-one Democrats who voted against considering the Morrison bill only eighteen bavo been ro-clceted', while nearly one hundred of tho ono hundred and fifty-one who voted for the motion to consider the bill have been re turned. Straws sometimes show which way the wind blows. The Democratic party has great luok with its bachelors. Tho Com mercial Advertiser says: “if Mr. Cleveland shall prove to be elected, it will bo ono of the curiosities of Presidential history that the Dem ocrats went out of powor with the first bachelor ever olected Presi dent, and come back to power with the second. In tho quarter of a century that lies between they have but once corao near to suc cess, and that was with a bachelor —Mr. Tilden—for their candidate.” Blaine’s magnetic tour did not profit him much in Indiana. His route through that Stale is marked by Democratic gaincs. Blaine made protection speeches and Gov. Hendricks took the aggressive in favor of tariff reform. Blaine made a great effort at South Bend and the Democratic gains over 1880 were nearly 100. At Fort Wayne he lost 1,500 of Garfield’s votes, at Indianapolis 1,900, and his losses at other places where he spoko were heavy. Wo are glad to see that Jim Guerry has been re-elected Solici tor General of the Patanla circuit. TUB NEXT iToLSK. ■ far tho sJpoak Washington, Nor. 12.—In tbs next bouse tuere will be 112 dem ocrats, who are members of the present house. Of this number 66 voted for Mr. Carlisle, 26 for Mr. Itindttll and 15 for Mr. Cox. Two were absent and the candidates did not vote. Assuming that the democrats have elected 185 mem bers, a majority in caueus would be ninety-three. It Mr. Carlisle’s friends continue to support him he is Bure also of seven auditional votes from Kentucky, only four members having been re-elected in a delegation of eleven; two from Texas, three from Georgia, one from North Carolina, six from Missouri, and more than enough from other delegations to make him certain of a majority in the nominating caucus. The vote in caucus last Decen.bcr for Mr. Car lisle was 106; Mr. ltandall 52, and Mr. Cox, 30. During the past summer 2,000 Mormons have crosed over into Arizona, so that now we have about, 5,000 of these outlaws in the Territory. They have all taken up government land. They locate in “colonics,” and, in many wards and precincts, hold the balance of power and elect their Justices of the Peace. These are but the ad vance of the hordes that are to fol low.

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, but 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 bad for them, but it is in your power to make it good for you, for, as usual, when 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 cent, of the actual value.
