Congressman I1iie< kenriikie, of Ar kansas, says that Grover Cleveland will be the nominee of the Democratic party for president next year. The afternoon papers are coming to the front Tlio Macon Kveniug News will ho printed on a line new perfecting press by the iirst of June. Eihtob Sam Whitmire, of the Uruns- wick Times, announcea his retirement on May 1st; hut says that aftera month's vacation ho will again enter southern Journalism. The Now York Herald stales that there is “a revival in Wall street.” This seems to Indicate tiiat there lias been a recent influx into New York of green horns with pockets full of money. Such ciiaps arc always wclcomo on Wall street. Ma.i. J. F, Hanson lias been invited by the K. 8. Jones Post of the Grand Army of the Republic to deliver the memorial address in May next at the decoration of the federal soldiers' graves at Andenonville, and haa accepted. The opinion scorns to be growing that Mr. Blaine will bo in the ring for tlio presidential nomination. He is espec ially anxious that Cleveland should bo the democratic nominee in ordor to try conclusions with him once more. Who will now have the temerity to say that China is not a highly enlighten ed country? The latest proof of this fact la her Indignation at the appoint ment of that mouthsomc crank, Henry W. Blair, aa United States minister to her court. Senator Keaoan, of Texas, lias re signed, and Governor Hogg haa appoint ed Mr. Horace Chilton, who is not yet thirty-five years old, to succeed him. Mr. Mills declares that he Is not disap pointed, that he would rather ho Speak er than Senator. Poor Mr. Mills I A man by the name of Crisp will bo Speak er.—Trlbunc-of-Bomo. Texas pays the chairman of her rail road commission *<1,000 a year, and its other members $.->,000 each.

Action was taken on the recent meeting of the Southern Pros* As sociation In Memphis, and it will be fol lowed up rigorously.—Enquirer. It Is now evident that the coming seal ing season will pass without a settlement of the Behring sea controversy. fho Sayward case in tho Supreme Court was postponed till the October term, and hence a decision in it can hardly be ren dered before next winter. The diplo matic controversy Is in a fair way of bo- ing submitted to arbitration, but it will bo some time before a decision is reach ed. Meanwhile, there is not likely to bo any leisure of sealers by our revenuo steamers. THAT 11EFICIT. Wlillc republican orators in Cincin nati were exulting in the glories of the republican party, the republican secre tary of the treasury at Washington was puzzling ills brains over the deileit that tile republican congress had made. It is not a surhrlse that Mr. Foster docs not know were to find the money to pay for tlie $5:1,000,000 of 4» per cent, bonds that fall due in September. When bil lion dollar congresses meet they make a rlean sweep of the funds and those who come after must look out for them selves. It was a foregone conclusion that Mr. Foster would experience great trouble In making both ends of the treas ury meet. Within tile last twelvemonths, his predecessor, Mr. Windom, was twico called upon to relieve a stringent money market by means of bond purchases, and a third request for aid was made, but the resources were exhausted, and it was not forthcoming. Mr. Foster took cliargo of empty money boxes. The bil lion dollar congress made appropriations for everything except tho payment of file government's honest debts. Of course, the bond matter will he attended to in Homo manner. When tho devil drives there is no alternative, hut such incidents are decidedly unpleasant, and the public was unused to them, until it got a billion dollar congress.—Courier- Journal. The I.ouisiana supremo court was badly divided on the lottery case. The decision reached by the majority may be good law, but will bo generally regretted throughout the country. The effect of the decision, however, Is only to give the pooplo of Louisiana an opportunity to vote on tho proposition to continue the lottery, and there is a chance that they may reject it. The chance ia but small, it must be admitted. The offer of tho company to pay the state more than $1,000,000 a year for the privilege and the largo influence which it lias over the proas, and public men of tlie state will make it extremely difficult for an oppo sition based merely on moral objections to defeat its purposes. This is much to be regretted. It would be much bettor if this national scandal could be sup pressed by the act of tlie people of Louisiana rather than by act of congress. Tlicro is grave doubt whether tlie power rests in congress of preventing tlio cir culation of lottery advertisements through the mails, and oven if that were beyond question, the use of tlio power may sot a precedent that will lead to had results.—Telegraph. Negroes now serve on juries in many of the southern states, and in Georgia they have done so for fifteen yoars. It ia a noticeable fact that when colored men are on trial they beg far white juries, or at least for a mixed panel. A prosperous lawyer in Atlanta whose namo la Lyons, is a colored man who earned his living by teaching a mulatto girl, the ward of a rich white women, while he was a student He ia frequent ly associated with whits lawyers In ths conduct of causes.—New York Sun. Iowa democrats are making a clamo rous demand for Cleveland that nothing but a promising prospect of Cleveland will satisfy. They will not hear of Hill on any conditions. With no little force tjiey say that Cleveland will unite many elements of the democratic party all over the country that Hill’s candidacy would only serve to alienate. They are Very apt to be gratified by the next nom inating convention. They are not tho onlydi mocratx in tho country who de maud (Teve'and, by a largo majority. The prospect* of Crisp are much bet- lei than t'loto of any other candidate. He is conducting ids canvass quietly and wit* excellent judgement. Tlie attacks which the friends of other candidates make bum time to time on his record he meets fairly ai d squarely, and thus far they have dose him no harm. Indeed, there are rcaaoi s lot thinking that they have done him good, because they have given him a chance to cxplainsomc things which, if unexplained until the last mo ment, might be used to 'his disadvan tage.—'’<<! Hi WS. Receiver W. B. Scares, of the Ma con Construction Company anil tbo rail roads connected therewith, lias return ed to Macon from New York, wliero lio lias been sumo time on official business. Receiver Sparks scorned in better spirits than when last in Macon. It Is reported in Macon very generally that the con tractors will resume work on tlio Macon and Atlantic and Macon aw^ Birming ham roads at a near day, and that these lines will be pushed through to rapid completion, it is said that Receiver Sparks can pull the Macon Construction Company and the Georgia Southern road aafoly out of ths mire, if tho peo ple of Maeon will only rally to the aid of the Macon and Atlantic and the Ma con and Birmingham roads and do (heir part in help floating the bonds of these roads. The Macon construction people are in much better epirits than they were a short time since. The report of the committee of the Florida legislature ou the alleged brib ery will, it ia said, make some sensation at disclosures, and Senator Call’s friends nro.hopeful of Btampedlng eight or ten votes from the opposition to him ns a result. The report is not expected to be presented before Wednesday night. Great indignation is felt all over the state at tlie prolongation of the dead lock and delay in legislation. Every joint ballot by tlie legislature (one is taken at noon every day by a scattered vote per agreement) costa tlie state $200. the deadlock is kept up until the ond of tbo session tlie expense of tlio taxpayers will bo nearly $15,000. Gatherer around the dinner table last Saturday at the residence of Dr. A. R. Royal, In Abbeville, woro four of tho oldest men of Wilcox county, whose ag gregate ago is 304 years. They were Micajt Owens, age lGz years; Judge Stephen Bowen, ago 85 years; Nathaniel Statbam, age 07 years; Major A. A. F. ltcid, age 80 years. Their meeting was purely accidental. The children, grand and great grand-children of this quar tette now living in Wilcox county, will approximate 1,000 souls.—Abbeville limes. acqittteh. Mrs. Martin is free. Tlie jury stayed out lei s than a half hour,and when tlulr verdict was rendered pandemonium broke loose in the way of demonstra tions of applause. The court could not restrain tho multitude, and after sho left the courthouse, the people poured hundreds of silver dollars into the liands of her lawyer. She will remain in Birmingham and endeavor to got work. The A go-Herald says: The verdict was not only wlmr the millions of people who have been watching thl* trlul expected; It was .l-owliat th.y wanted In deed, no verdict ever rendered hy a Jury of American freemen was more In accord with the sentiment of the gr> at 11 bile, who watched and waited and coped.

The growing Indifference to tlio riglit to voto is a strange, and in some respects a happy development in the south. It is oxptaincd that at first they not only re garded the ballot as a toy, lint they were urged to vote by carpothaggers and demagogues who aimed to control and fatten on their votes. These persons first promised overy darky a mule and forty acres if he voted, and next every colored man was told he would get of fice. At the same time the black leaders of tho blacks insisted that the race could got social supremacy If they voted. None of these consummations has taken place, and the privilege haa lost its at tractiveness. The most mischief is said to be workod by the colored women, who impel tlie men to flock to the towns, and who dream incessantly that they can manage to livo without work, as they see white women doing.—New York Sun.

Ex-Sexator Ixualls declares that the New Orleans tragedy does not in volve an international issue, and that the Italian government has been both petulant and undignified in raising one. Thousands of Americans think the same thing, and it would not be surprising if the courts and juries came finally to that conclusion. POWDER Absolutely Puro. A cream of tartar baking powder.
