Toe latest new* from Chill Indicates that the warlike people in that country are not quite so bitter in their talk about the United States as they were a few weeks ngo. Ex-President Hayes, who lately vis ited Atlanta, says it is all a fake about his raising chickens, and that ho never raised a chicken in Ilia life. Was Sir. Hayes never a college boy? Superintendent J. L. McCollum of tho Western and Atlantic has sent out circu lars offering (1,000 reward for the arrest and proof that will convict the person sons who removed the rail which caused Sunday night's accident near Bolton, Upon the anniversary of the Prince of Wales' fiftieth birthday, the sycophantio editors are damning him with the faint praise that his record is no worse than those of his illustrious predecessors, William and tire Georges. N bw England and New York show an average of (1163 per capita of currency, and the South only (10. This is easily explained by the large individual for- tunes of tho men of the East. Jay Gould is worth as much as the whole State of Georgia. THE NEGRO IN 11IE NORTH. The Philadelphia Times in speaking of the fact that the ntgrocs hold the balance of power in Pennsylvania and have generally voted the Republican ticket blindly, says: “There is not a Republican district in Pennsylvania where a colored man could be elected to the Senate, to the Assem bly or to Congress. Indeed, so well is this fact understood, that we do not re call a single instance of a colored man seeking a nomination for any of the re sponsible representative offices in the State, nor has one ever thought of being a candidate for any one of the many lu crative offices in the various counties. We have seen more colored men sitting in a single Legislature in Soutli Caro, lina, elected on Democratic tickets by Democratic votes, than have been elect ed to the Legislature of all the Northern States since the enfranchisement of the black man. In only a single instance has a colored man been nominated for a State office, and that was for Auditor General in Kansas. He was elected, but was saved only by the extraordinary party majority, as he fell over 20,000 be hind his party in the State. In this State no colored man was ever appointed to the police force until Mayor King set the example to tho Republicans, and there are more colored school teachers employed in any one of the Southern States, and paid out of the State treas ury, than are employed in all of tho Northern States from Maine to Califor nia. It is very evident that the negro is not wanted in the North except on elec tion day.” A hill has been tiled in tho circuit court of the United States, asking that a receiver be appointed for the Athens Electrict Street Railway Company, and claiming its insolvency. Tho amount claimed as due for material and con struction is (16,000. It Is now reported that the Rev. de mand K. Nelson of South Bethl. liom, I’a., a native of Virginia, will be mado bishop of Georgia by the Episcopal convention that meets in Macon to-morrow. It isn't so much who Is elected bishop of Geor gia as who will accept after elected. The President is slow in appointing Thanksgiving Day. Possibly he Is wait ing until his days of mourning over the New York election have passed before he turns to Thanksgiving. Or he may concludo to omit it altogether and let the administration's official action on this question be delegated to Governor McKinley of Ohio next year. Bkv. W. W. Wadsworth of Augusta, having denounced “King Solomon,” and the “Kirmesa,’’ And the Episcopalians and the Augusta exposition, now turns his guns on Dr. Lansing Burroughs, the Baptist pastor of that city. The next Georgia .Methodist conference might muxzle this weak Imitator of Sam Jones without serious injury to the church. Accoimmko to the report of the re eelver of the Mavorick National Bank of Boston, there was nothing irregular about the business of that concern ex cept the insufficiency of the security upon the two million dollars loaned by the offieer* of the bank to themselves. All its other business was properly man aged and in good shape. Rotter, at the core. Judoe Miller is after the Macon gamblers. He says in his charge to the grand jury this term: “Now I am deter mined to do all in my power to break up this professional gambling. Heretofore the pockets only of the lawbreakers have suffered, but behind the matter of a fine lies the county jail and the chain gang. If those people will go on consid ering their fines a* merely an additional tax on their business, and atilt continue to violate the law, this court will nse all the powers given it to prevent them from eo doing.” Tbouou the Democratic nominating convention is six months off, the guber natorial eanvass in Alabama is already on in earnest. The candidates are the Incumbent, Gov. Jones, and Hon. Reu ben L. Kolb. The latter came very near winning the nomination at the last con vention, and his friends say that he is determined to come ant victorious next spring. He is now busy visiting all the (airs and expositions in the state, and has inaugurated a hand-shaking cam paign that will cause bis opponent to hustle. Some of the Alabama papers deprecate the early precipitation of the contest. Congressman W. C. Oates, of Ala bama, addressed a large crowd at the Atlanta Piedmont Exposition, and the report of his speech shows that he still takes great pleasure in sooring the Al liance and sub-treasury. One portion of his remarks referred to Editor C. W. Kacutie, of the National Alliance organ, and created a sensation. He sffd If the Almighty had ever stamped viUlaay and treachery on the face of a man to warn people against him, - tbat man waa Ma- cune. “For,” said the Colonel, “he baa the conning of a fox, the boldness of a lion and the honesty of a penitentiary convict.” the nk«v congress. Congress will convene four weeks hence. A few changes In the personnel of that body are interesting. Mr. Edmonds, wlio was in the Senate twenty-five years has voluntarily re tired, and Mr. Ingalls, who served eighteen years with signal brilliancy, will bo succeeded by Peffer, a man of mediocre ability who will have little in- tlueuce in that august body. Geueral Wade Hampton’s presence will also be missed. He will be suc ceeded by a new and untried man from South Carolina, Irby who his most san guine friends say will never startle the world with bis conspicuous ability. The House loses McKinley, Butter- worth and Cannon, causing a considera ble void on the Republican side There will be a tinkering with tbe tariff and with silver, as well as an investigation of the pension bureau; while tbe enorglcs of tlie new Speaker, Crisp, and the Com mittee on Appropriations will be chiefly devoted to keeping the expenditures under the billion mark. Altogether it will be quite an interest ing session of Congress, and will be watched with Interest—not so much for what It may do, as for wbat It will un dertake to do. With a Republican President and a Republican Senate, it can hardly accom plish any of the leading reforms so earn estly demanded by tho peoplo. Tlie Democracy of 1(6:1 will see to these Tiik Topeka Kansas Advocate a woek before tbe Ohtoeleotion predicted Camp bell’s defeat, and gives os a reason that on September 15, 1861, a certain gontle- man called on J. G. Prather, n member of tlie National Democratic Committee, and requested Mr, Prather to furnish transportation, etc., for him to go to Ohio and take the stump for Campbell. Thereupon Mr. J, G. Prather said: “We do not desire Mr. Campbell’s eleetlon, nor will we do anything to assist him, os it would mean tho triumph of the free silver idea.” The applioant had spoken for Democracy in every cam paign for the past twelve years, and spoke jointly with Hendricks all over In diana, also with Thurman in Ohio In 1888, and is a brilliant and able speaker. So It cannot be said the gontleman is not a representative man. But tho tact is that Mr. Prather simply told the truth. They want Campbell defeated. Now compare this with the fact that tbe Dem ocratic papers of New York City, Mem phis, Charleston and New Orleans are supporting John Sherman for tho United States Senate. The famous Howard-Biokerstaff mur der case came up in Muscogee superior court before Judge Gamble on Mon day morning. It is thought that several days will be consumed in secur ing a jury. It will be remembered that on tbe 25th day of November, 1800, Mr. T. C. Dawson, a prominent cltlxen of Russell County, Alabama, was killed by defendants, Richard Howard, Robert Howard and James Blckerstaff, The killing was directly in front of the grand stand at tbe exposition grounds in Columbus, and witnessed by at least 20,- 000 people. One phase of this case was brought before Judge Fort last Decem ber in AmerUus, that of bail for the. prisoners, and many people here are familiar with the facts and tbe parties to the trial. Don Dickinson, Cleveland's ex-Post* master-General, Is quoted in a Washing ton dispatch as saying: “Mr. Cleveland will be nominated for President next year with a solid and harmonious dele gation from New York behind him.” Mr. Dickinson says further: "Last Tuesday's eleetlon has deafly deter mined that Mr. Cleveland must bn the nominee next year, and | the Republicans haven't one chance idVdozen of defeat ing him.” Is Don figuring for s piaoe iu the new Democratic cabinet In 18037 a comparison. Under the heading of “A Gentleman and a Blackguard,” Editor Henry Wat- teraoa institutes a comparison between Governor Campbell and Haha, the chair man of tbe Republican campaign com mittee. He says: When Gov. Campbell was sure of his defeat he seat to Mr. McKinley the fol lowing dispatch: "William J. McKinley, Jr.: I hereby con gratulKte you epon your election. I have no doubt that you will serve i be people or Ohio with fldellty and honesty. "JAMES E CAMPBELL." This goes to show that a man may dis tinguish himself in politics without sac rificing the instincts of a gentleman. As soon as the returns were in, tbe blackguard, who was chairman of tbe Republican committee in Ohio, sent the following dispatch to Mr. Mills and Mr. Crisp: " Allow me to congratulate you on the able assistance you rendered us In the Ohio cam paign McKinley's p urallty Is from 19,000 to 21,00c. Both b anche.or the general assem bly are Republican by trom 35 to 37 on Joint ballot, (.'an you be with us next year?" It is scarcely creditable that any man occupying such a position, even among Ohio Republicans, could send a dispatch as foolish and at tlie same time so splen etic and vulgar. Does Editor Wattcrson expect a man wbose name is Hahn (rooster) not to crow when he overcomes his opponent? That sort of a Ibped must crow or ex plode. SOME PROPHECIES. The polititical prophet of the Atlanta Constitution prognosticates as follows: Mr. Blaine’s health is all right now and he will not resign from the cabinet but will remain just where be is, push ing his plans of reciprocal trade between tbe United States and other countries, Mr. Harrison is defeated and re- tiytos to private life. Tbe man from Maine lias long ago given up all idea uf ever being president. Instead Ms idea now is to make a great name for himself in bis declining days by extending tbe trade of the United States over all tbe civilized world. Perhaps, the only candidate in the lie- publican convention against Harrison will bo liusscll A. Alger of Michigan, who will again have Ills barrel on tip, and who will find himself just as far from being president when the conven tion adjourns as now, though ho will bo poorer by a few tbousaud. Tbe next contest fur tlie presidency will be between Ifarrison and tbe man New York agrees upon us the best for tlie Democratic nominee. Tbe Democrats candidate will lie one of throo men—Cleveland, Hill or Gor man. The man of these three that all the factions of New York combine up- od will be the nominee. With the Dem ocracy combined upon any one of the three there will be no difficulty in the Democrats winning the next presidency. Receiver XV. B. Sparks has made a re port of the affairs of the Georgia South ern road, in which the gross earnings' for tbo quarter ending September 30, are shown to be (102,313.17, with operating expenses at (118,013.28, making the total net earnings for the quarter (73,(100.40 This Is a | remarkably line show ing tor the road, and with another year of such work, Its condition will be moBt favorable.
