Americus, Oa., July 7, 1881. One fellow lias gone crazy on account of talk about tbe world's coming to an end. Such talk la enough to shako up almost anybody. The Uarrison's of Washington havo gone to the seashore, and will spend a few weeks In the gift cottago at Cape May, Now Jersey. Genkhal Joint II. Gordon has gone to New York in bad health. He says the Davis monumont fund will amount to something creditable. The great desert in Colorado is filling up with water. It is 2.',3 feet below the soa level, and ages ago was evidently lake or a part of the Pacific Ocean. The Southern Cadets of Macon won 'the fourth prize .at the . interna tional drill at Indianapolis, the first prizo of $2,300 going to the Urancli •Guards of St. Louis. Xhe Georgia legislature will meet to- morrow. A number of important ques tions will come before it. Among others the redistricting of the State, and tho question of Georgia’s representation at the World’s fair. Govehnok Nohtiien has approved the finding of the betterments commis sion which is a final settlement of the question. The people of Georgia will breathe a sigh of relief to know that it will not again trouble the solous of the state. The news that Mr. Blaine has had an other attack of Illness at Bar Harbor will arrest the attention of the nation. His prominence as a presidential factor, his official position and the groat dis tinction he has attained as a public man, all conspire to make Mr. Blaine a control flguro in this country. The Itata has returned to San Diego, Cal., from which port she escaped sev eral weeks ago, under charge of the United States steamer Charleston. She is held by tho government for breaking tbe neutrality laws, and a trial In the United States courts will decide whether abe shall bo confiscated. The Uepublicans of Tennessee have nominated as the successor of tbe late Congressman Leonidas Houk, bis son John, who Is said to be a chip of the old block. If this Is true and he elected John will bo a popular fellow at Washington, because ho takes liquor straight and plenty of It. Fbed. Douglass, Minister to Uayti, la at home on a visit He says that the recent revolution there Was little more than a tempest In a teapot, and that Hyppollte Is a good ruler. Correspon dents say Fred didn't see much of the revolution, because about that time he was conspicuously scarce. The St Louis Kepublio raises tbe In teresting question, how much of the money filched from the Philadelphia treasury and the missing deposits of the national banks that have failed In tluit city went to make up tbe $400,000 cor ruption fund furnished by John .Wans- maker in the last campaign? It Is a very pertinent Inquiry, and one concern ing which fhe public should be en lightened. Swallowing all sorts of hardware and odds and ends of miscellaneous con trivances just for the money that curl' out spectators will pay to witness the operation sometimes brings the human tool cheat to grief, it did Patrick Mul- rooney at on Ohio town the other day. Trying to swallow a fiddle bow was a failure. It stuck in his throat, and now Pat's burled “daclntly.” It must have had rosin on It. rtHE OHIO CAMPAIGN. The Cincinnati toughs, who will prob ably scratch Campbell, are not likely to number more than 5,000, and the fact that they oppose him will gain him more votes than that in other parts of the state. It doesn’t necessarily follow that those who scratch Campbell will vote for McKinley, but If they should Camp bell can spare 5,000 votes and still be elected, taking his race with Foraker two years ago as a basis of calculation, But the Ohio election is a very uncer tain problem. Tho state has always gone Republican on a fnil vote, and though it has three times elected a Dem ocratic governor, there was each time more or less Republican disaffection and a light vote. But electious in all the Northern States, especially those of the West, are now more problematical than ever be cause of the manifest political disquie tude that exist there. Tho Farmers Alliance is strong in Ohio, and what ef fect it is going to have on the coming election it is not yet in the power of any man to divine. Tbe principles of the organization ought certainly to incline it to Campbell rather than McKinley, but the Republicans havo made a bid for the Alliance vote by nominating a member of the organization for lieutenant-gover nor. The labor element is another strong and uncertain factor in Ohio politics, \ meeting between Governor Campbell and the Knights of Labor National Ex ecutive Board is reported to have been held recently, and ah agreement is sup posed to havo been arrived at that will give Governor Campbell the labor vote. If that be true, 1'. is a strong card in the Governor’s favor. 1 Another Important point lies in the fact that a fight is on botween Sherman and Foraker for the sonatorsbip, and a family discord Is thus created that will not prove conducive to Republican suc cess. Mr. McKinley is at the further disad vantage that he must necessarily con duct a defensive campaign aDd it looks also that’he will be forced to make it one of apology. He is the very embodi ment of the high tariff idea, so much so as to make all consideration of his per sonal qualifications of no avail. Governor Campbell is an active, alert and aggressive politician. His record as Governor has been a. good one and has satisfied the beat element of both par ties. He will get all but of the cam paign that is so be had out of It, and if any man can lead the Ohio Democrats to victory he will. That Is the situation at the opening of tho campaign. There are four months until the election. He is a shrewd poli tician. Who can prophesy the result. It is stated that the. non. Hiram Wheeler, who has been nominated by the Republicans for the governshlp of Iowa, is distinguished only by tbe fact that he has a beared as long as that of Senator Peffer of Kansas. If this Is true Mr,. Wheeler will have a very disa greeable experience next November, be cause the political wind will blow a very large Democratic majority through his whiskers. The fact of the matter Is Iowa Democrats are now counting on a majority of 20,000 votes for Boles, and they are confident In the assertions they make, that neither the Republicans In. side nor those outside of the state can beat them, and there is every reason to believe that they are not indulging in any vain boasting, because the Republi can party, while apparently harmonious In tbe convention, are said to be badly spilt on the prohibition plank which was Inserted In theli platform. TBiunininncouiuiioDiuBT The recent certain formation of a vast lake in the Colorado desert still remains a mystery. A despatch frota Tama, Arizona, states that a boat party sent out to trace the new lake have been forced to return after traveling twenty- five miles. Tbe force' of the current made further progress impossible. There seems to be but little force In the explanation which some have sug- eested, that the inundation is caused by a rise of other lakes due to the melting of unusually heavy snowfalls in the win ter dnd spring. It has been hinted tjiat the desert lake is a result of earthquake action. And there is some color of prob ability for this theory. After the New Madrid earthquake shocks of 1811-12, according to the geo grapher Flint, who visited the scene of the convulsion, a tract of many miles in extent became inundated to a depth of three or four feet. In the course fit an hour or two during the period of the earth tremors, large lakes twenty miles long were foiled, and others were as suddenly drained, Mir Charles Lyell, the English geologist, who subsequently visited the disturbed region of the Mis sissippi valley, confirmed the truth of these and many like statements. In the great Calabrian earthquake of 1783, numerous circular hollows and new lakes were similarly formed. An Italian authority places the number of new lakes formed during the convul sions at fifty, though probably some of these were merq ponds. While there have not been recently any violent seismic disturbances in the region of the Colorado desert it is possible that earth shocks, exciting very little notice, may have been influential in causing the new lake. The subject is one of so much interest, geologically and practically, that the cause of the remarkable submergence of the desert should be carefully followed up by competent scientists.

The announcement of the death by yellow fever of Dr. Groennett, surgeon in charge of the quarantine station at Chandeleus Island, off the Mississippi const, is enough to put all the gulf coast oities on their guard against the impor tation of this dread destroyer. Too much care cannot bo given to mu nicipal sanitation, ns well as tho strictest watch against the fever's possible im port It has been definitely decided that yellow fever is not indigenous to any part of the United States, never hav ing its origin hero. IfShenit is kept out by thorough quarantine restrictions, and proper local sanitation be main tained, ovon if imported there nped be no fears of a terrible visitation. The Topeka Journal has put forth the tieket Blaine and Plumb for 1802, but the Kansas City Star saya Plumb prefen to remain on tbe floor of tbe unate rather than being shelved in the viee- presidency. To place Plumb on Its ticket would be an attempt on the part of the Republican party to steal Demo cratic thunder and an abandonment of its own professed principles. Plumb voted for free coinage and against the tbe McKinley bill. ‘ The ex-Federal soldier in Pennsylva nia, like the republican politicians of that atate, aro Inclined to have alillarl- ous tjmo and enjoy life, no matter what It costa. There is a home for the sol- dlen at Erie, and not long ago thirty or more of the inmates who were allowed all the privileges of the Institution with- out a cent paid for board or anything else, but who, at tbo same time, were drawing fat pcnilons from the govern ment, got on a bowling spree and re belled against the authorities of the home. The result was that the rule in vogue elewhere that Inmates of homes for soldiers shall pay 80 per cent of the allowance that the government gives them, was enforced, but the obstreper ous pensioners, Instead of paying the money, raised a row and left Gov. Pattibon seema to have a good many warm admirers throughout the country, who are mentioning him for the presidency, but he is so busy attend ing to his duties as governor that he hardly appears to be aware of tbe fact that hit name has been placed so prominently before the country. The fact that he realizes that It iahlfbusi- neas to look after the affairs of Pennsyl vania, and not fish for the presidential nomination, baa greatly increased his popularity with tbe people of his state, end even Republicans are beginning to admit that he Is the best governor they have had. Thb verdict In the King murder trial at Memphis Is just and right and will be applauded by all good men who love jus tice and the maintenance of the laws of the land. The killing of Lawyer Dave Poston by Col. King was, as the evidence showed, a cruel and premeditated mur der, done with malice aforethought and with desire for revenge for a fancied wrong. If justice Is not to be meted oat under such circumstances, then, Indeed, Is law a mockery and court houses should bo abolished. Tbe entire south Is to be congratulated upon this righteous ver dict Now let justice be vindicated. A young lady from Texas visited New York recently, and no doubt thinking that men there had as much respect for ladies in that city as they have In tbe South, thoughtlessly ventured on the streets wtthout an escort and the result was she was totalled by a masher. She did not ory ont or faint however, bnt without betraying the least excite incut knocked the fellow down with aparaaoL The girls from some of the counties in Texas would have pulled a pistol and furnished a fee for the ooroner. Pious John Wanamaker It appears has a very convenient memory os is evi donccd by the fact that he has made a statement to the effect that bo forgot that he owned ady of tbe stook of tbe Keystone bank. This la intended as a explanation of tbe glaring discrepancies between his testimony and that of his clerks, but Hie trouble Is Mr. Wana- maker forgets entirely too easy, and while It may escape b!s.:mcmory that It has been very clearly established that he is a smooth old rascal the people are not apt to forget It. They will also not for get that as a cabinet officer ha has ren dered valuable assistance In disgracing ono of the worst administrations which the country has ever endured. Wana maker may continue to run his Sunday school, but the brand df fraud is upon him and the louder he chants his hymns the plainer It Is to tbe eye. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette expresses tbe opinion that bad not tbe republican party been loaded with the negro that the solid south would have long ago been split, and odds that the negro has been carried when It was not policy to do so. It Is this sort of talk that arouses the suspicion that the Re publican party would be glad to let tbe negro drop if It could do so gracefully. This sentiment does not bode well for tbe negro, because If thore is a will there is generally a way, and at tbe present time the politicians of both parties can not help but believe that tbe day is pot far distant when a black objqct will bo seen and heard to drop. It is reported that Hon. Josoph E. Brown intends resigning the position of president of the Southern Railway and Steamship Association, which he has held since Its organization, and gives as his reason that ho is no longer connected with any railroad.
