THE SPEAKERSHIP.
‘Cooj’reM will meet on the flrat Mon-
■dar In December, Just three weeks from
next .Monday. The contest for the
Speakership may be considered about
open and its importance will absorb
other questions until it is finally deter
mined by the Democratic caucus. Tite
candidates will open their headquarters
Jn Washington next week and the can
vass will from then on be active and ag
gressive. It is stated that a large num
ber of the members will go to the Cap
itol unpledged and upon their decision
depends the final contest.
The struggle Is mainly between Mills
and Crisp, with the chances apparently
-in favor of the Georgian. McMillan of
Tennessee is next In importance and it
4s thought he draws his strength mainly
from Mills, and as he is u strong friend
of the Texan, he may not go in nt all.
Messrs. Springor, II <tch and Bynum are
also in the raue.
The Mills men are claiming everything,
while the Crisp followers are very confi
dent. The San Antonio Texas Express,
which has all along insisted
that the Speaker of the Bouse of
Representatives of the Fifty-second
Congress would be a dark horse
and a northern not a southern man,
stated in a recent edition that the esti
mate of the friends of Mr. Mills is that
he will get eighty-eight votes on the first
ballot in the oaucus. If this were true,
It would mean that the Texan had a
sure thing. The number necessary to
nominate will be 118. If Mr. Mills can
begin the battle with elghty-elgbt he
will not have to wait long for the other
thirty. The probabilities, however, are
very strongly against the correctness of
the calculation. The eighty-eight in
cludes ten votes from Pennsylvania, tbo
same number from New Vork, a dozen
more from New England and all the rep
resentatives from New Jersey.
Their claims are not thought to be
well-founded, because It 1s positively
asserted that only three of the New Vork
delegation will vote for Mills.
For the Clerkship, General Clark of
Missouri and Ox-Representatives Kerr
and Malsh of Pennsylvania and Gibson
of Maryland ars the candidates, but ex-
Representative Voder of Ohio is the
only candidate for Sergeant-at-arms.
There is an army of applicants for the
minor places —Montgomery Advertiser,
THE SIZE OP COTTON BALES.
The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat has
been discussing this question and thinks
that we have finally reached the maxi
mum of the cotton bale In size and
weight. As has been noted the size has
been steadily growing for years, for the
simple reason that the railroads snd
steamboats generally carry a bale for the
same price, regardless of its weight, snd
this has been the main cause of Increas
log the bale to BOO pounds. “Com
mencing with 400 pounds, the bale has
steadily Increased in weight until now It
has (for years 'past averaged 500. The
increase has been steady up to the pres
ent time, but so far this year we have
dropped behind the previous one, our
bales averaging only 011.34 pounds, as
against 513.80, a lota of nearly two
pounds. Louisiana shows the heaviest
decline, 7.25 pounds per bale; Alabsuna,
4; Georgia 5.85, and Tennessee 5, and
other States making a slight Increase.
Whether this falling oil in weight is
merely temporary, or permanent, it is
difficult to say with certainty. The
chanoee are, however, that bales will not
grow much larger. The railroads are
beginning to oomplaln of them, and the
spinners In Europe have always opposed
them as being difficult to handle, and
therefore liable to suffer In the long
journey they have to take from the plan
tation to the mill, and mill owners ba7e
frequently recommended the adoption of
a smaller package of say 300 pounds.
It Is not probable that there will be any
such extreme change as this, but that
the bale will remain somewhere in tho
neighborhood of 500 pounds is highly
probable."
Tua New Vork World thus favorably
mentions Georgia's Chief Executive:
“Gevemor Northen, of Georgia, is dis
appointing his enemies by growing in
popularity every day as he shows the
good stuff of which he Is made. He is a
fins and eloquent speaker, with an Im-
presatve presence and a splendid voice.
Bis addresses in public are listened to
with great interest, for in addition to the
pleasing manner of his speech bis ideas
are practical and his exposition of them
fearless."
Tn jury in the Howard case is now
completed and Columbus will witness an
exciting,hamiUating murder trial. The
dead cannot suffer mote, and the living
must receive the wounds which mad
passion ever Inflicts.
STIRRIXG SECTIONAL FEELING.
Mr. Jim. l’almer, the Ctmmandor-in
Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic
lias Issued from his headquarters an order
of which the following is the subataoce:
Hkaimioaktek's o. a. R„ ao-ictakt-
Gkxekai/s Orrrez, Albany, N. Y., No
vember 4, >S91.
The attention of the Commander-In-Chief
has Ik—n ca'led to toe fae'. that comrades
wearing the badfe and uniform of the Grand
Army of the Republic participated lu a re-
i-enl demonstration where the Confederate
llag wee carded and dliplayed.
■ or four lonf years you braved all the per
tie and vlclsaltudee of war towlpeoutallthat
that 0a( represented. When your (rest work
was accomplished the gren-l Union armies
had become the moat powerful and effective
the world had ever seen. They melted away
like the enow on the hilltops under the
beams of a noonday sun. You resumed the
peaceful vocations ot civil life, and the na
tion resumed ooce more Its career of unpar-
a'elled progress, prosperity aod happiness.
There never was In the history of any civil
ised warfare such magnanimity evinced to
wards a foe as the terms of the surrend r of
Lee's army at Appomattox. We bad learned
to edmlre the gallantry of the men ie had
vanquished aa only men could edmlre them
who had tes'ed their endurance and valor
upon many bloody battlefields. Whin they
Isid down tlielr arms we sought peace; we
reached out tbe right band of fellowship to
all who would accept Itou the broad grounds
of American citizenship End unconditional
loyalty. The contest hid cost us untold mil
lions of dollars and the lives of thousands of
the bravest and best who msrche4 un er the
Stars and Stripes down Into the Jaws of
death, not for a party or a creed, for men or
all opinions and affiliations gave up their
lives to save the Nation from disruption and
the flag from dishonor.
To-day ihe t ime flag which floats over and
piotects the conquerors, protects equal-y as
well (lie conquered. We admire tho spirit
which prompts the people of the Sooth to
otniuemoruie the gallantry of the men who
sacrificed their lives Ip the "lost cause," but
that clvllconfllct settled one great question,
the battle for the Union was right, the doc
trine nf secession was wrong, and the Stars
and Stripes, the emblem of liberty, equal
rights, Justice and law.la the only flag which
ttie loyal people of this gieat nation respect
aod h-.nor. We saved or r children thccon-
toet they would have been compelled to en
counter. We have given them a heritage of
peace and pro,parity tnetead of an enormous
and exponafve litigation to be settled by a
Jury of soldiers a< d to-day every American
citizen lain the full enjoyment of the frulta
of onr great labors. We cannot afford to
lose sight of the valor that achieved victory
for the right. We can never forget what
the oontest cost us In blood and treasure.
We must not forget that loyalty to country
la not a mere sentiment, bat that It requires
a dovotlon to pitnclple. add that principle
means that the flag which every soldier stood
ready to defend with I Is life nut now be
sa'uted with honor. One or the great prlncl-
clplea of ourorganlzatlon Is to teach the ru
ing generation loyalty to the country and
fidelity t-i duty. The Uutoa soldiers have
•aid in the soldiers of tin No ith: ' We have
no desire to arouse sectional animosities or
passion engendered by the war. Give us
loyaltr an I In return we will give vou frater
nity." Yon have demonstrated ycur frater
nity on numerous occ .slons, but when com
rades Joined In the resent ceremonies In
honor of the memory of a patriotic Journal
ist and philanthropist they found them
selves confronted with the emblem of tree-
•on, which le an erldsnoe to >ou that
lhare atlU lurks la the hearts or a few
a desire, by tha display of that flag, to fire
the hearts of the young gsoaratlon of the
South to rebellion. A oomrade wearing the
badgeornaUbnnofthe order participating
In any demonetratlon where the “rebel” flag
le dl -played violate# hie obligation to “main
tain true allegiance to the United Stetee of
America; to honor lu Constitution; Iodic-
countenence whatever tends to weaken loy
alty, Inolle treason or rebellion, and to en-
coorage universal liberty and Justice to all
mankind" and brings disgrace upon the or
der of which be le a member.
While the Commander In-Chlef has nel-
thet the right nor disposition to Intarfere
with the Individual right or pilrllegea or
members of tbe order, he baa assumed an ob
ligation fo protect It against any and all acts
that will bring reproach upon IU good name
Dn you propose to surrender what you
fought fbr and what your comrades who
sleep In heroic gvaveo died tort As the eUn
ere Iked la tbe skies, so your patrlotUm le
fixed and Immovable to preserve the mem
ories and finite of that great struggle,
this grand army or loyal citlsene serves
no other purpose It will keep fresh In tbe
hearteof the rising geseratfen thatloveof
country, that devotion to the Union, tbst
reverenoe for the stere and stripes, the con
stitution and the laws, which In the future as
In the past must be the anchors which bold
ua firmly to a solid, permanent and national
existence.
With these words of ndmonlflon t have
aufflcleot confidence In your honor and tidal*
itylotho princlplss of tbe order tofkel that
there will be no further demonstration or
parade where the emblem of “treason" U
carried or displayed. Let the cause wbleh
triumphed la the war bs malntlaned In the
rompleteneei of Its victory and fulness of Its
algnlflcance.
John Palmxk, Commander-In-Chief.
Faxonnicx Pjijstebbb, Adjul.-ben.
Tho howl has ever since the civil war
arisen and swelled In the North and West
that tbe South is keeping alive tbe spirit
of sectional hatred, and training ite ris
ing generation to look with loathing and
abhorrence upon the conquerors ot tbo
Confederacy, and yet, since tbe day ot
Leo's surrender there lias never emana
ted from the press or the people south
of the Mason nnd Dixon lino words in
which have been embodied tbe spleen of
sectional bitterness that la contained in
this order to the G. A. R,
After twenty-eevon yoars of peace ami
harmony between the now united por
tions of a once divided people, this wor
thy disciple of Col. Elliott Sheppard Is
sues an order to hie subordinates in
which be reviles a tattered and defeated
llag, displayed only as the true type of
grief and woe, as an “emblem of trea
son, which Is an evidence to you thnt
there still lurks in tbe hearts of a few a
desire by the display of that flag, to fire
the hearts of the yonng generation of
the Sooth to rebellion.'' Could narrow
minded animosity go further than this?
Could any words upon the ipart [of eon-
federate veterans go so far towards
maintaining In the youthful heart a
feeling of bitterness aa this insulting
language towards the drooping, bullet-
riddled banner under whieb their fathers
nobly sacrificed home, ambition and life
to the cause which they deemed just
and good It is a shroud about tbe
memory of countless heroes, and ever
let the Southerner hold It sadly sacred.
Ulysses S. Grant during bis life-time
bent all of hfs energies towards the heal
ing of the existing sectional prejudice
aud knew bow to honor a fallen foe,
wbleh Mr Palmer might do if be bad
ever faced fire coming from undor the
folds of this “emblem of treason'
which he now Insults.

A CONTEMPTIBLE NATURE.
Professor Alfredo Barlli has left bis
wife and and children alone in Atlanta,
while he, In the supremo and absoblng
selfishness of his craven nature has gone
wbere he will be unhampered by a fami
ly and can win his way to fame. He
leaves alone a tender, loving woman who
has been to him a faithful and devoted
wife aself-sacriflclog nurse and help-meet
to him In bis time of sickness and adver
sity, to face, as beat she mey, the taunts
and harsh criticisms of a censorious
world; to alooe bear the terrible burden
of desertion and abandonment, and the
constant effort of forever trying to up
hold, in the minds of her growing chil
dren their father's good name.
Deserted after a life of heroic devo
tion and privation. Should Barlli'e ev
ery hope crumble to ashes before bis
very eyes and his dearest aspirations
change to black despair upon tbe eve of
realism his punishment would even then
be mild
With the sybaritic luxury of a vastly
wealthy relative before bis eyes he re
turned to his home where his noble W|fe
has performed his duties during bis ab
sence, and Its modesty palls upon his
spirit, he longs to be rich and revel in
the magnificence he has just left, and no
not of contemptible cowardice sbal Intend
betweenlilmself and the fruition of these
dreams, so he leaves a wife' whose only
fault lies in marrying so immeasurably
beneath her.
Depravity seems to have reached the
lowest ebb, when the names of refined
cultured women like Mrs. Jefferson Da
vis and her daughter should be signed to
begging letters by miserable, cowardly
forgers, and lent to near friends all over
the country. Such au insult is necessa
rily very mortifying to these high born,
well bred women, and merits prompt
and severe punishment, which will
doubtlessbetbeculprlt's portion aa soon
as he Is discovered.
