Americus Recorder. w. i.. uLinnft. Editor. Official Organ or Niimter County. MBniii in'mii nr r~*— ( • t X. MABCH aT. ’*»- General Grant is losing strength rapidly and it is feared that lie will not last long. Carter Harrison.the great spread- eagle orator of Illinois, has been re-nominated by acclamation for the office of Mayor of Chicago. The turning out of two republi can rascals and the insinuation of two honest democrats each work ing day made but G26 changes a jear. At this rate it will take about fifty years to get all the “rascals” out. We notice in the telegraph dis patches that William A. J. Parks, •f Illinois, has been appointed by the President as commissioner of the general land office. We think there is a mistake in the name—it should be Sparks. Georgia’s day at the New Or leans Exposition was a decided suc cess, so far as the parade and speeches were concerned. We arc only sorry that the exhibition of products from the State could not hare been upon an equally large scale. We received on Wednesday a let ter from Ohio, acknowledging the receipt on the',21st of a paper mailed from this office in September, 1882. It would seem from this a general change in the postofllce department is needed, and tnesooner it is made the better. The latest appointments by the President are Henry L. Muldrow, of Mississippi, assistant secretary ofthe interior; Wm. J. A. Parks, of Illinois, commissioner of the general land office: Daniel McCon- yille, of Ohio, auditor of the treas ury lor the post office department. The Chattanooga Tunes fears that the large influx of Northern settlers in Tennessee may change i*s complexion, and make it diffi cult for the Democrats to carry the State. Not much danger. .lust let a Northern man once have substantial interest in the South, by becoming a property owner,and he will very soon see that his in terests and Democratic success are too intimately connected to be separated. It is a very common expression of Northern men, even of pronounced radical tendencies, that if they lived in the South tuey would always vote the Democratic ticket. FOREIGN MISSIONS. The appointments by the Presi dent for foreign missions will be received with general surprise, and show more conclusively than ever that President Cleveland is not bound by ordinary rules or prece dents in his selections. The ap pointments are as follows: Minister to Great Britain—Ed win J. Phelps, of Vermont. Minister to France—Robert M. McLanc, of Maryland. Minister to Germany—George II..Pendleton, of Ohio. ; Minister to Mexico-Henry R. ' tbe distinguished guests, among T . , „ whom were Gov. Henry D. Jackson, of Georgia. 1 — But one of these gentlemen, Mr. GEORGIA’S DAY. Tits Calibration at *iw Orlsana a Complsts gneeess.. —. — — W “ New Orleans, March 24 —The celebration of Georgia duy was an event to be remembered as one ofthe most imposing of the expo sition celebrations. The visiting military and citizens were out in full force, and long before the ap pointed hour for the exercises to begin the grounds were covered with enthusiastic multitudes. The ceremonies began down town by tbe formation of companies of the armory, and thence marching to tbe hotel they awaited tbe coming Pendleton, has heretofore been mentioned in connection with a for eign mission. From the sketches given of Messrs. Phelps and Me- Lane, however, they would seem to be well fitted for the positions. The recognition of Georgia is peculiarly acceptable to our people. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has lost none of bis admiration for Mr. Cleveland. In a lecture delivered at Lynchburg, Virginia, a few days ago, he spoke of the President in most complimentary terms saying that “he bad a heart big enough for two countries the size of this,” that be “was cautious, honest, wise and experienced,” and that “if in dications were anything Mr. Cleve land would restore the country to what its founders intended it should be.” Tbe many friends of the gallant one-armed hero of halt a dozen wars, Gen. Wm. W. Loring, of Florida, will be pleased to learn that be is being strongly pressed for tbe mission to Turkey, a posi tion for which he is eminently fitted by bis ten years service under the Khedive of Egypt as Pasha Loring. General Loring entered service as a mere boy in 1830, during the 8eminole war in Florida, and has been a life-long soldier, yet his connection with public men and affairs has been such as to qualify him to fill any civil position to which he may be called oy the present administration. Concerning the business outlook, the New Orleans Times-Democrat takes a most cheerful view. It says that there is now no reason for a continuance of depression in the United States, and it bases its reason for this opinion on the fol lowing conceded facts: “The ad ministration is honest and econo mical; the people are industrious; its soil is fertile; the crops are promising; we are at peace with all the world, and feeding and cloth- ingthe world. The evidences of (•turning prosperity ate visible every where, ami nownere more so than here in New Orleans. Our banks show a large increase of deposits and decrease of obliga tions; prices are belter, and the people more cheerful and hopeful. We are not going to jump back into prosperity as we jumped into the panic, but we are steadily im proving 'and prospering from day today, and are growing better off every week, and the lime is near at hand wtieu we will be in a far surer and safer condition than when the panic came.” The attendance at the New Or leans Exposition last week showed an improvement over the previous one, the gate receipts being $30,- 328, against $26,411, and indicat ing an average daily attendance, adults and children, of 13,000, against 11,700 tbe previous week. This, however, is not satisfactory to the friends of the enterprise,but the indications are that the atten dance for the next six weeks will show a large increase. Holding office seems to be too rich for Democratic blood, and it is not able to stand up under the pres sure. Malcom Hay, the new first assistant postmaster general, is traveling in Florida for his health; and Mr. Clarke, recently appointed assistant secretary of the Interior, is dead, never having been sworn in. It is possible, but not at all proba ble, that this may produce a mo mentary check to oiilcc-secking. The Nashville American prints nearly two columns of the names •f Northern and Western cor respondents who have written to the Tennessee Agricultural Bureau with a view of purchasing lands and settling in that State. Col. McWhirler has done splendid seivicein pointing out to immi grants from ail quarters tbe benefit to be derived from going to Ten nessee. Gov. St. John, the eloquent cham pion oi tempcrar.ee, is meeting with an enthusiastic reception in thoso cities in the South where he has appointments. In Augusta lie had a largo audience, who heartily applauded his utterances. Secretaries Manning and Lamat arc still engaged in cleaning up their departments and putting things in shape for active work. A Banker’s Very Profitable Invest ment. Sbclbyvlllc (111.) Leader, Jan. 2i The report s-nf out last week that T. M. Thornton, Banker, of this city, bad drawn $75,000, it being the capital prize of tbe Lou isiana State Lottery of this month, is true; and what is more, tbu money has been pam over without defalcation or discount. It Is said that it is better to be born lucky than rich, but Mr. Tboruton has the advantage of being born both rich and lucky. Every stop of a train cost9 money to a railway company. Recent statistics kept on a certain trunk line showed that during a given year tne 350 daily trains made 7,000 extra stops every twenty.four hours, tbe traffic being largely suburban. Experiments showed also that each stop cost 42 cents, reckoned largely in extra time to \ , .. employes who, for that number of | churacfi on Wed stops put in the aggregate 350 extra hours per day, making a total loss to tbe company of nearly $50,000 a year. McDaniel, of Georgia. Failing into line in the following order, the pa rade took up the line to tbe steamer Clinton: Invited guests in carriages under command of Acting State Commissioner N. P. Pratt, of At lanta, to whom tbe success of the day is largely due; Governor’s Horse Guards, of Atlanta, Cspt. J. F. Milledge commanding; Chatham Artillery, of Savan nah, Lieutenant R. F. Harman commanding; Putman Rifles, of Eatonton, Captain J. D. Adams; Americus Light Infantry, Lieu tenant W. M. Jones; Washington Artillery, Captain Harry Isaacs commanding. Proceeding to the steamer the party were conveyed to the exposition grounds and en route was fired n salute in honer of the visitors. Reaching the ex position grounds the line re-lorued and marched to Music Hall. Appreciative. Employer: “Mr. Wiggins, I have been very much pleased with your assiduity and attention to business during tbe past year, and I have determined to reward your fidelity by making you my junior partner.” Horrified Employe: “Junior partner—me— no, sir 1 Don’t doit—just reduce my salary and let it go at that.”— Puck. *0- ®Boij Ai ^£r 'CUs GA. rcO SHOE jrOR" Boots, ^EK' CUS G&- R.
