Atlanta, Oot. 6.—Next Satur day a Fifth District convention will meet In Atlanta to indorse the Re publican nominee or to put an Inde pendent Democratic nominee against Livingston. The call was issued at Douglassvllle, in an In. formal meeting of “Jeflfcrsonlan Democrats,” and to-morroW, Tues day, the Douglae county dele gates to the convention will be chosen In mass meeting. The Douglass county originators of the movement have Issued, to gether with th§ call for a* conven tion, a "manifesto,” taking, ex treme position against Livingston They even go to far as to say that they, personally, will vote forj Will Haight, the Republican nominee, In preference toLIvlngfton. This has weakened the rnove- monj Irreparably. A conservative Independent Democratic movement might havo embarrassed Living ston, butjthis will help rather than hurt him—so far as congress Is con cerned. Bp evident it this that an ulterior motive Is very generally suspected, and perhaps with reason. Gordon’s frieudt are Imbued with the Idea now that Livingston him self has designs upon the Senator- sblp, and as the Douglassvllle meeting was made up of extreme Gordon men, their polloy wae prob ably to help Gordon for the Senate —by blocking out LIvIngaton as a probable candidate—rather than to hurt Livingston for Congress. This Is really the only eflect it can have. BRUTALLY MURDERED. AMONG THE BLUE COATS. What Was Picked Up By The FoUoe Yesterday. Early yesterJay afternoon olfloers Ray and Wilkins looked up a white man who was found In front of Sheffield's hardware storeenjoylng an old fashioned drunk. Later in the day a negro named Will Dudley undertook to run the wheel of fortnne adjoining the Racket store on Forsyth street He ♦h-»»rssth>pof»¥W> ‘ ' t some 3T prize displayed on the magic circle, and when the needle failed to "come out” on the thing he wanted, he dellherstly proceeded to pick up and pockej the entire shop. * ' The police were called In and the embryo riot, which was raging, was . A case waa made against to and i£A' be Investigated m be mayor’s court this morn- A white man named Burus, who had managed to get on an ample sup ply of beer was ran In from lower Forsyth and secured a free lodging in the station house. A negro named Dock Wesson who has been parted from his wife for. several months went over Ur Mr. Scarbrough’s to see bis wife and attempted to whip her. The racket that followed resulted In the police being called, and Dock being carried to the took up. He will know bow the market stands. on wife whipping In Amerlous this morning, and will no doubt oon elude that there has been a wonder ful looking up in the market.

For the last m years Mr. Johnston has volun- rfrily taken charge of every enter- taihment given for the benefit of this Institution, and to his untiring efforts is due the financial success of each and every one of tham. He added largely to the appearance of tho library rooms by the pretty drop ourtaln which haa been bo much admired, and not satisfied with that, hebaajust finished paint ing another to be used for the small- stage- The last represents an old negro woman catching "one of them black nigger boys” pulling her sunflowers. Mr.Johnstoncalls It his "eaught-ln-tho-aot ourtaln." We hope It will not be very long be fore Mr. Johnston is caught In the aotof returning to his oldCoInm- bus home and hie many friends.

There were some doubts *s to the adaptability of the clay at the new yard, but It was found to work most excellently, and indeed there is ev ery indication that the clay Is much better than that used at the other yards. Eyorytblng Is moving In perfect harmony at the new works and the future of that enterprise Is a moat hopeful and promising one. A BENEVOLENT ORDER. TYPOS IN UNION.
