The death of Balmareda by his own liand rounds out to completion one of the most extraordinary political dramas which even Soutli America has furnished. But it was a drama founded on the fa miliar lines of a remarkably able and popular President, too reluctant to lay aside bis power at the end of ble term of office, and seeking to prolong it by perl lou* and fatal expedients. That Balma- ceda did not attempt to orertbrow the constitutional provision of ineligibility to re-election after the prescribed term of fire years is clear. But bis actions suggested a desire fully to control his successor, which was only a step less than becoming dictator. It was a mel ON THE EXCHANGE TABLE. The Walton Newt lias been sued for *10,000 for defaming the characters of a lot of lightning rod agents who, the aneboly instance of overleaping ambition News reported, were *'doing up" the I which, it may be charitable to suppose, the natives of Walton. Where now |» , was allied with real love of country, as the liberty of the pen The Talladega, Ala , Beporter is a lit- disturbed because ex-Mayor Skaggs may build a furnace at Rcnfroe, a village half an hour away. When a man with such an awful name as Skaggs begins to fool around in the vicinity, it would seen, to be time to draw the line. At a meeting of the directors of the Milledgcville & Asylum Dummy Ball- road Company last week, thequeslion of putting the road in the bands of a re ceiver was discussed, and after a vote on it the question was carried. Just who the receiver will be ie not yet known. Tueue is a bright hand at work on the. loi.il columns of The Americus 'Times-Recoiihei!. The Amehicus Times Recokhek of Sunday consisted of eight pages brim ming over with good things. I-ike Americas The Times-Recoiiiieu is pro gressive.—Constitution. it was with personal honesty, and per lisps was partly tire fruit of self-deceit as to his own value to tu , republic. Born of a well-known and wealthy family, well educated, a lino speaker, and in every way endowed for political life, he readied with comparative rapidity the leadership of tho liberal or progressive party. His rise was a con. tinuous triumph, and his election to the presidency in lt*S»J was achieved by e great majority. It is a curious coinci dence that his suicide took place on the very morning after the expiration of his term of office, which legally ended last Friday, although be had been practically deposed by his defeat at Piacilla. The first three or four years of ilia term showed him in a creditable ligbL Edu cation, religious freedom, internal im- provemeuts, and all material progress were fostered in Chill. It was natural that even when Ida later acts alarmed congress and led to civil war, all foreign powers except Bolivia, which had a special interest to tho contrary, ahould For fear some may think we have en tirely yielded up the field to the town, we will give you a few snake trut ha: A Jew days ago while Conductor Bell was throwing wood on the engine he uncov ered eight rattlers, and he at once de stroyed them in great style. Hr. John Robinson killed aisteen in a pile of wood laet week. And last week ten were killed on Ur. L. E. Brown's place. Will give balance In our next issue.—Louis- vilie News and Farmer. Charley Ector, committed to jail iaat week for assault with Intent to commit murder, escaped from jail laet Monday night by breaking a hole In the iron floor of the upper cell large enough to squeeze through into the room below and slip ping out In the darkness when tho doors were opened. There being no prisoners in the lower cell it was left often for ven tilation. Sheriff MaiTett offers *10 re ward for the apprehension of the escaped prisoner.— Meriwether Vindicator. The death of ex-Congrcssmau and ex-1 |, 1ve continued their relations with him Senator Washington Curran Whitthorne removes the most conspicuous man iu Tennessee politics: and one also of na tional reputation. He was a close per sonal friend of Congressman Blount, and enjoyed a wide popularity among his as sociates in Congress and among the masses of his state. He has been in fail ing health for several years, and his death was not unexpected. The war is on between Hoke Smith and the Atlanta Journal on one side and Col. Livingston and the Southern Al liance Farmer on tho other; and the fur Is going to Hy. Both these men are ag. gressive and fearless; and now that the gauntlet is thrown down the moon may he expected to wear a gory hue. Mr. Hoke Smith don’t take any stock in Col. Llulngston's sincerity; but Larry Gantt gambles high on Mr Iluke.Smith's exalted opinion of himself as displayed in tho columns of the Journal. Govkhnou Noiithen has vetoed an other bill, this time a local one affect ing Laurena county. The governor has on ills war paint, and the silly bill-lea of the legislature should look out for a shower of those vetoes. Whou the gov ernor surveys the lines of rot coming before him mlsscalled laws, he seizes his big double-action veto pen, and in the language of Webster Flannagan says: "What are wo here for?" and the bond falls into the executive waste basket. Let the good work go on. That all ia not lovely In the ranka of the Massachusetts Republicans seems to be shown by tbo moralizing spirit In dulged iu by the organs; the Boston Traveller for Instance. Itaays: "When the members of the Republican party get ready to return to tbelr early allegi ance to the truth, thattbelr chief com earn should be defense of prinolplee rather than trying to outwit each other In the selection of candidates, the party will be In the line of success; until then It will make but little difference who are Its candidate*." The secretary of agriculture le going to lend an agent to Europe to sound the praises of Indian corn as an article of food for man at well as beast. Although the Europeans havo been acquainted with Indian corn for centuries they have never learned to like any preparation of 1: for food. The poorer classes continue to eat rye bread as their ancestors have done for countless generations, and to live in Ignorance of tbo many cheap nutritious 111111 extremely palatable articles of food that they would enjoy if they could get into the habit of using meal and hominy. We shall never bear the last of Gen. Eagle Burd Grubb of New Jersey. He is always doing something to make his terrible name conspicuous; and now lie is about to lead to Hymen’s alter a blushing damsel who has consented to change her name from Miss Violet Sop- with to Mistress Violet Eagle Burd Grubb. What a regular hallelujah time the lireverent aud wicked paragrapbera will have over the announced approach ing nuptials! The Savannah News starts with the following: “Sopwlth-Grnbb is good. Probably that will ba the style of the announcement Or they may say Grubb to Sop with. Very likely they will wed “When the Burde begin to sing and the Violets ate In bloom," as the poet remarks, Than or ths re about will the bold soldier bestow upon the gentle Violet his umbrageous whiskers. Whether the fragile Violet of Scotland may sham in tho martial and diplomatic triumphs of her eminent New Jersey husband or not she will at least gst her Grubb.” as the lawful president. Vet the triumph of hia opponents, so fur as can now lie seen, appears to be that of constitutional liberty, and tlio curtain now rung down upon tho tragedy in Santiago will roll np on a happier Chili, from which, it may be hoped, the last elements of civil discord have been removed.—New York Sun. WHERE ARE OUR MISSIONARIES? It Is to be feared that there Is more sentiment than sympathy on the part of Americans for the oppressed It isslan Jews. We denounce the Czar, across the ocean, and pity the unfortunate Jews; and pass resolutions and *lgn petitions; but when brought face to face with actual conditions, sontlment vanishes; and the “pure cusacdnesa" of human na ture crops out. Last week 000 operatives at Millville, New Jersey, glass works went on a strike, simply because they were deter mined not tu work alongside uf opera-, tors of the Hebrew race! Commenting upon this proceeding The Constitution expresses fully the senti ment of all decent people when It says: “It la impossible to write of this New Jersey outrage without ‘condemning it in unmeasured terms. ,Since the first settlement of this country, and the es tablishment of our republic, which was designed to shelter and protect the op pressed, the Jews have been among our beat citixens. They have been the pil lars of our commerce and Industry. They have obeyed the laws, paid their taxes, served the state and spent tbelr blood and treasure for the common wel fare. No set of men in this country can pro scribe such a race of people and expect to be auatained by public opinion. We are not ready yet to have a little Ratals organized In America, not even in the state of New Jersey. The brutal conduot of the Millville workingmen shows that active mis sionary work la Imperatively needed In that town. The strikers need a large sized dose of Sam Jones, followed by a little Instruction in the rudlmonts of the Christian religion. If these mild methods will not make them behave like decent citizens, they should be discharg ed by their employers and then prose cuted for vagrancy Mr. H. C. Z liber of near Maxeys, was in to see us ou Wednesday last, and brought us a half dozen bolls of a variety of cotton which he is propagating. He calls it six-lock cotton, because there are six locks of the staple in each boll. He has been experimenting, producing the variety himself, and Jtells us that fifty holla from the run of the patch will pro duce a pound of seed cotton. He ex pects to have enough of it to place them on the market next season —Oglethorpe Echo. NEW: GOODS PROFESSIONAL CARD: AT- Beall & Oakley’s.

While Tom Todd, a colored brakoman on the Atlanta A West Point railroad, was coupling cars at the dopot Tuesday, lie was knocked down by a freight box and the wheels passed over his hip, ab domen and ankle. Dr. F. M. Ridtcy.thc division surgeon, who was near by, went to him Immediately and had him re moved to tlie depot, where stimulants were freely applied to get up a reaction, The shock was so great, bowover, that none ever came up and the negro died about three hours later.—LaGruugo Re porter. Some unknown parties broke into the dopot here last Saturday night. Finding no valuables except a piece of tobacco Mr. Little had for his private use they soon departed. Some of the young men In town heard them, but thinking It was Pony or some one of authority they did not hurry to find them but heard them when they left the window. They broke Into the sitting room first and then the office, both from the outside, which showed it was somoono not well ac quainted with the surroundings.

The arrest was made, under a war- rant from Hancock county, charging Mr. Uorton with murder. It lias been in the bands of the sheriff for some time, but circumstances prevented an earlier ex- ceutlun. The prisoner lias a wife and three children. He came to this county and engaged work at the above mill more than a year ago. His deportment has been ao good that no one ever ana. pcctcd him of being a refugee from jus tlce. Ilia employers were well pleased with him as an employe. He was past ing under bla real name, and, w e learn, made no effort to conceal the fact that he was wanted in Hancock, charged with murder.—Macon County Citizen. Tbe alliance rally at Royaton on Tues day was a grand affair, and It la esti mated that there were from twelve to fifteen hundred people present The crowd was greatly disappointed that Col. Livingston failed to meet bis ap pointment, as that was the main object of meeting, most of those present having never heard him. Mr. Edwin Brown, the popular mayor of Athens, was on band, however, and delivered an elo quent and stirring speech of over two hours that was enthusiastically received. After the speaking a sumptuous picnic dinner was spread, anil a long felt want (the hour being late) was supplied.
