firo. Christopher, or the Monte'
zumt Record, is entirely too mod.
est. Being nominated for Mayor,
be declines the honor. lie no
doubt thinks that no honor can ex
ceed that of being editor of a good
newspaper.
It it now proposed that the
Democrats and Stalwarts in the
New York Legislature combine
and elect Roscoc Conkling United
States Senator as tbe final hair to
break Blaine's back. As the Dem
ocrats are in tbe minority in tbe
legislature, it is not a bad idea; for
whatever elso may bo said of Conk
ling, ha is a man of ability and lias
never been mixed up in corrupt
jobs.
It is a proper time to recall those
noble words of Grover Cleveland’s
letter of acceptance: “If I should
bo called to the Chief Magistracy
of the nation by the suffrages of my
fellow-citizens, I will assume the
duties of that high ofilco with n
solemn determination to dedicate
every effort to tho country’s good,
and with an humble reliance upon
the favor and support of the
Supremo Being, who, I believe, will
always bless honest human endea
vor in the conscientious discharge
of public duty.”
THANKSGIVING*
This holiday of feasting and
faith, sermon and surfeit, prayer
and play, is peculiarly a New Eng
land institution, but has been
adopted generally throughout the
North. It has never been observed
much in the South; but iu view of
- recent events we think it might be
appropriately observed this year
by tbe Southern pcoplo. They
certainly have cause for thanksgiv
ing in the fact that they have at
last been freed trom radical rule,
as well as the fact that they have
been vouchsafed fair crops, good
health and freedom from devasta
ting storms and pestilence. We
would suggest, therefore, that ar
rangements bo made for holding a
union service in one of tho church
es, and that all places of business
be closed from 10 a. m. to 2 p. in.,
on Thursday, the 27th inst.
FlUilV OF TIIE FUTURE.
Tho old issues resulting from the
war having been settled by the late
presidential elootlon, there remains
but ono important political ques
tion unsettled, and that is the
tariff. The Democratic party hav
ing taken its stand in favor of &
revenue tariff, must preparo itscli
to giro battlo on that issue in the
future. It has nothing to gain and
everything to loso by pursuing a
vacillating policy, and its leaders
should take a bold and advanced
stand, fortifying thoir position
with strong arguments, for they
will have opposed to them a now
party made up of the rich monopo
lists of tho country, the remnants
of tbe Republican party and the
old Whig element of tho Demo
cratic party. It will bo a clean
cut, sharp fight, but tho Democrats
have nothing to fear if they will
but firmly maintain their ground
and give the people full and true
information on the subject. It is
an important political question and
it ought to bo settled.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Atlanta, Nov. 14—Gov. Mc
Daniel yesterday received a notifi
cation from the House that Fannin
county was without a Representa
tive owing to the fact ol there be
ing a tie between Benjamin C.
Dugger and J. II. Chastain. He
at once issued an executive order
to the Ordinary authorizing him to
order an election.
Warfcn Price, of Johnson, will
not be hung to-day. Yesterday
Gov. McDaniel issured a reprieve
until Dec. 15 so that lie could ex
amine the petition presented ask
ing for executive clemency. At
lanta is apparently in the hands of
a well-organized band of thieves,
highwaymen and bad characters
generally. The police force num
ber3 lo83 than fifty, and is incapa
ble of protecting the lives and pro-
perty ol citizens. Depredations
are committed on prominent
thoroughfaies continually. The
Police Commissioners arc to be
asked for protection by citizens,
who aro signing a petition of great
length. A good many tramps are
loafing about tbe city, and they
are credited with much of the crime
being committed.
The Governor commuted tho
sentence of llenry Cato, of De
Kalb county, a murderer, to im
prisonment for life. He was also
to be hanged to-day.

OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS

UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had mode 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. Promptly at 8 o’clock
and itgwill 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.

of “Tbe Boy Jesus in the Temple,”
by Professor Hofmann of Dresden,
one of the chief contributions of
