<T»« Americus Recorder. W. L.. UI.KSSS KR. Kdllnr. Official Organ of Sumter Counlj._ OtBrial Organ or debater County. FRIDAY. MARCH 30, ’8S. j Hen Hill baa been nominated for J Attorney of tbe United Stales for tbe Northern District of Georgia. | It is a nomination that will give j general satisfaction. Atlanta was the scene of a most j destructive fire on Wednesday morning. The James block was entirely destroyed and one man burned to death, while several per sons were severely injured. The loss is about $30,000. We have received from the au thor an address delivered before the Georgia Har Association at its last annual meeting in Atlanta, by (.'has. C. Jones, Jr., in which lie takes tbe ground that the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts sheuld be paid larger sala ries. He makes a good argument and we are inclined to agree with him, lor it is a noteworthy fact that our best lawyers cannot alTord to take a place on the bench, on account of the smallness of the salary. There are only three States which pay as small salaries to their judicial officers as Georgia. Wo are not an advocate of high sala- ' ries, but we believe in paying enough to secure the services of j the best men for tbe position. The Chicago Tribune professes to bare discovered a plan by which tbe Democrats in the Illinois legis lature expect to elect their candi date for United States Senator. Tbe plan is as follows : On the first day when nearly a full Democratic vote is present, and some lte publicans absent, Haines, ns speak er, is to direct his large force of sergeants at arms to close the doors of the house. Then the roll call for Senator will proceed. The Re publicans in attendance will refrain from voting, believing their failure to vote will make them, under par liamentary rules,absentees. Haines, however, will direct the count to he made and verified of (hose actu ally present in the flesh at the joint session. He will then order the roll called again. Perhaps ninety-odd Democrats will vote for Morrison, and eighty or less Republicans actually present will not vo’e. Haines will then say : “Tbe count of the legislature in joint session shows there are present, say, one hundred and sixty members, or one hundred and four, being more than the quorum required by the United States statute, and of that number a majority having voted for William R. Morrison, I declare him duly elected," etc. We hope the Democrats will succeed in their plan. It looks now as if the Illinois legialatnre would fail to elect an United States Senator to succeed Logan, and tbe vacancy will have to be filled by an appointment by tbe Governoi. We shall look for this appointment with peculiar in terest, as it will show which is the strongest with Governor Oglesby —party pressure or personal resent ment, and thereby bangs a tale. In 187* Senator Logan a lime expired and be was defeated for re election by Judge Davis, after a long and stubborn contest. In 1879 Sena- Under the very appropriate head ing of “The Wages ofSin” it is an nounced the secretary of the treas ury has issued a warrant tor $3,950.73 in favor of ex-President R. B. Hayes, being the sum appro- I priat“d by congress to reimburse ! him for payments made on account j of the expenses of the commission j appointed to go to Louisians. A CARD.
