■ngUjnBH 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. poetry, art. and music; while in tbe Easy Chair Mr. Curtis writes of “John Bull and Brother Jonathan at the Christmas Fireside;” and in tbe Drawer Mr. Warner has a pitas- ant prefatory word as to “The Universal Christmas Feast.” 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.

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 .
