AMERIGJJS, GA. Special to Kkcokdkk. Atlanta, Nov. 3.—The members elect of the legislature afe coining rapidly now—candidates likewise, Twelve or fifteen of them are busy talking politics now in the Kimball rotunda, the center of an interested crowd of listeners. Cutts, of Hum- ter, one of the most prominent can didates for Speaker of the House, arrived here Saturday aud has been hard at work ever since. He Is quartered at the Kimball. His friends are making a vigorous flgbt for him. ‘•I cau say nothing definite to night,” was his reply to a question of your coriespondeut. “Only a few representatives are here yet, but I have heeu encouraged greatly aud am iu the race to stay.” Fleming, of Richmond, another peakersiiip probability, is at the Markham. Clark Howell’s otllcein the Constitution is headquarters for another crowd. Calvin, of Rich mond, reached here at 1 o’clock to day, but to-night ho announces his withdrawal from the race for the Bpeakership In favor of his col league, Hou. W. H. Fleming. Late to-night it is stated by Fleming’s friends that he will withdraw to morrow,” presumably In favor of Clark Howell. Jackson, the ex-l’resideut of the Alliance, stated to-night he would not stay in the race. Then again, Judge James K. Hines is here, in advance of any of other candidates for the Senate. Norwood, I understand, has announced that he will make o active canvass for the position. If they elect me,” he is quoted ns saying, “well and good. If not, I shall have no fault to find with any body.” Then Judge Sam Lumpkin, who is after Judge Mark Blandford’s position on the supreme bench, is another prominent figure. Along with him is handsome Harry Mc Whorter, who expects to take Judge Lumpkin’s place pn the lower bench. Gov. Gordon’s office is the ren dezvous for another enthusiastic crowd We are with you,” they say to him, “come what may ” Then Col. Mark Harden, the long time clerk of the house, is here aud there and everywhere—in • the thickest of the fight, as it were. Felix I'orput Is circulating about like a dyspeptic ghost. All he cares u earth now is to beat Clark Howell for speaker. Northen, who will be inaugurated Wednesday, is another prominent figure about the hotels. He is, of course, straddling the fence on all questions and appearing as wise as possible. When you count up, there are more candidates than voters—but the voters will be coming in nowon every train. The fight for Presi dent of the Benate is in a curiously chaotic condition. Buck” Candler—he insists on leaving off the “Hon.” or “Mr.”—Is a Senator this year. “I really don’t know,” he said in reply to a question, “who the cau- didites are for President of the Benate. There’s Tom Cabanlss, J. P. Walker of the 12th, R. O. Mitch ell of the 7ih, Reck of the 20th— that’s all I know-.” A little while lAter I asked Atkin son, of Coweta about Joe Terrell’s running. ‘Joe’* here,” hesald, “but I don’t know whether he will run or not.” The candidates for doorkeeper, messenger, etc., are alt here, it seems.

A good crowd turned out to see it and the same crowd left disgusted. If there ever was a poor show in Americus that it last night, The attempts at tinging and danc ing were miserable, and the efforts to amuse the audience failed sig nally, and from beginning to end the play was a (allure. The contor tionist wst vsrygood, bnt of the mat charity forbids criticism. Vote to-day! For Hon. C, F. Crisp! Don’t foiget how much depends upon the election, and don’t fall to east your ballot. All over the country will be held elections for Congressmen to-day, but none will attract more atten tion, aud no vote bo more closely watched than the ono iu our district. There is no doubtabodt our leader gettfug a good majority, but the negroes will poll a larger vote than is generally expected,* and every democrat must come out and help swell the majority which will place Judge Crisp handsomely in the House, and aid him in securing the place of Speaker, for which he is so eminently qualified, and to which lie will certainly bo carried. It is the fondest wish of every mu in the district to see our de- ■rveily honored representative placed in the chair, as a man emi- ntly fitted for the position, as a democrat, as a Georgian, and from district. The prospects fora Democratic House are resplendent with brightness, and in just the same measure is the probability of Judge Crisp beiug made Speaker, gloriously suffused in light. Then let our people take pride iu a thought which cau be easily made a fact. Let them do honor to them selves and our distinguished fellow townsman, by giving him his place by the largest majority that the old third ever knew. To-day in Georgia will be elected ten Democratic members of the 52nd Congress, and all will be Jef fersonian In principle, though some seif-named Jeffersonian will be sadly left. The fight iu the Bev- enth between Mr. Everett, tiie reg ular uomlnee, and Dr. Feiton, the old preacher, politician disorgan ised lias attracted aud Is attracting the greatest interest. Felton and Ills friends have been whooping things up, but there is lots more praoke than tire, aud the most reliable re ports give Everett a safe majority. Here nre Georgia’s next Con gressmen : First district, Hon. T. N. Lester. Second district, Hon. H. G. Turuer. Third district, Hon. C. F. Crisp. Fourth district, Hon. C. L. Moses. Fifth district, Hon. L. F. Llvlug- stou. Klxth district, Hon. J. H. Blount. Seventh district, Hon. R. W. Ev erett. Eighth district, Hou. T. G. Law- A GRAB THIEF. SNATCHES $20 FROM ONE NEGRO, A Shot-Gun From Another and Tskei to tho Wood*—Ho Hun't Boon Heard From Since—A Bold Piece of Work. That was a bold theft yesterday morning! Amounting to almost high way- robbery ! And one negro is bemoaning the loss of a $20 bill. And another the loss of at gun. son. Ninth district, Hon. |T. E. Wluu. Tenth district, Hon. Thos. Wat son. That’s tho list of regular nomi nees, and there Is no doubt about all going in except Everett, aud little doubt about that, if auy. The oppo sition in other districts than the seventh, amounts to uothjng, and the nomiuees will rid» Into their places by handsome majorities. Aud don’t forget that we want our man to lead the list. Look out for tho bulletins, where you cau see the reports of the elec tion as they are received. little children have been restored to robust health by using Dr. Bull's Worm Destroyer administered to thorn by kind and loving parents. The Bight Treatment. A majority of Southern *11011 know how to treat involcut negroes, and there was a clear inetaucc of this seen in the postoffico Sunday. A gentleman of tbe city, In com pany with some ladies, had some difficulty in passing though the crowd. The gentleman spoke to a negro, telling him to get out of tbe way, at which the negro became in solent aud answered impudently. Without stopping a moment tho gentleman knocked him In the head and passed on. That’s the only way to keep negroes of the kind in their places, and the action of the gentlemau was praised on all sides. Physicists’* Prescriptions and Family Receipts prepared with care and of the best materials at Cook’s Pharmacy, Lee street, near artesian well. Both-snatched out of the hands of the owners. Aud tbe thief had a hard run to get oil*. But lie did, and hasn’t been heard from since. He look to the woods aud is doubtless now enjoying the bracing weather under the cover of some of our country’ neighbors' hay. Early yesterday morning a negro, George Kirby by name, was ap- roached by two others of'the race, ne of whom asked him if he iiad any money. To the question George answered yes. lie was then asked if he could give a $20 bill for two tons. To this lie also answered yes; and took out a twenty. Just as he asked for the two tens, one of the others grabbed his bill, jumped away and ran off at the rate of an express train. The other ran in the other direction, and before George know what had happened both were out of sight, and he was minus $20. To a negro this is a fortune, and he was completely dazed, but he manfully gave chase after the fel low who got the bill, never getting in sight of him, however. All this was told the officers, but up to this writing the thief has not been caught When last seen he was making through tho country, so look out for episodes of like na ture until the perpetrator is nob bed. It was certainly a bold proceed ing, and reminds one forcibly of the romantic talcs of western ties* peradoism. The fallow Who did the grabbing is a mulatto weighiug over 200 pounds, and lias been working at tho compjgss. He is known as Big Sixteen.” After getting the twenty he was heard from again JuBt the other side of theH. A M. depot. An old negro was walking along with a gun on his shoulder, when he suw our sec ond and black edition of Rubo Bur rows trotting along towards hint at a lively gait, Naturally his curi osity was excited, but this so'in changed to astonishment when his gun was snatched from him, end the gait of the traveler was in creased to a dead run. His aston ishment was so great that he forgot to protest until his gun and “Big Sixteett” were 100 yards away. Then he recovered himself, but it was too late, aud his gun disap- on the shoulder of tile If vilest man of his weight and site on record. DECLARES IT VALID. GOV.
