Johnson's ousting.
Considerable surprise is express
ed licic in political circles at the
promptness with whicli Walter
appears in our General Tariff has
been in operation two years, and
will be continued in its entirety
and perfection, hut the first two
“Amendments made at Old Point

lieved would be the first to go, are
allowed to remain. It is under
stood here that John W. Nelms,
Principal Keeper of the State Peni
tentiary. will be successor of Bry
ant as United States Marshal,when
Brynnt goes out. As Bryunt holds
a commission for four years he may
not vacate untill his term expires.
Col. J. W. ltcnfroc was very anx
ious to go into the Marsbalship
office, but has withdrawn his claims
at the instance of friends, and it is
now believed that Nelms will have
a walk over.
Crenshaw’s appointment.
Mr. Crenshaw,recently appointed
Collector of Internal Revenue, was
an applicant for the Marsbalship,
and was indorsed by the Legisla
ture to a man. To get him out ol
the way it is said that he was in
duced to take the collectorsbip, a
position that he had not applied
lor. Wclborn Colquitt, at onetime
a resident of Savannah, and now
connected with tbe Collector’s of
fice, it is understood, will have an
important position under Crenshaw,
The new Collector has scores of
applicants for positions.
COST OF THE HALL TEAM.
It is claimed that the Atlanta
base ball team is the highest priced
in the Southern League. Nine of
the eleven mon that constitute the
club get $125 per month, tbe re
maining two get $100 each,and the
manager, G. A. Sclunclls, is paid
the snug sum of $200 per month.
Tbe first fines imposed upon ball
players for violation of rules of the
Southern League were put upon
two of Atlanta’s players a few
days since while playing a game
with the Cincinnati Clippers. Two
o( the men showed up a little under
the influence of liquor, and the
manager, upon noticing tbeir con
dition, fined them $25 each. Tbe
Atlantas were alter Fitzgerald, but
Columbus beat them and captured
“our Fitz.”
About l’oslmasters.
Oultm.iiFiro Prow.
Dr. Arnold, tbe postmaster at
Albany, bas done the graceful
thing and tendered his resignation.
Tbe doctor says be feels that the
Democrats have won tho victory
and to them belongs tbe offices.
He also remarks, with a confident,
air, says the Medium: “Wuen we
beat you four years hence we will
insist on making a clean sweep as
you are now doing.” Tbe doctor
is doubtless making a virtue of ne
cessity. He forscetb tbe evil day
and providetb against it. Never
theless, bis aotion in tbe matter
bas to some extent tbe appearance
of being decent and graceful. He
knows tbat tho people of Albany
intend to put in a Democrat and is
convinced that it toill be done, so
be puts the best face on tbe matter
possible and steps down and out.
We commend tho example of this
sensible person to tbe incumbent,
Mr. S. M. Griffin, at this place.
He bas already said that be expect
ed to be deposed and it may be
that be intends to resign. He cer
tainly bas tbat privilege. At any
rate there can be no doubt that
charges sufficient can and will be
preferred against Mr. Griffin to
secure bis removal. His partisan
ship in politics, local, State and
National, is sufficient cause for bis
official decaptation if there is noth
ing else against him.
Such Works at the Near Approach of
Spring.
The readers of tho papers every-
where are, no doubt, acquainted
by this time with tbe fact that the
world-renowned Louisiana State
Lottery draws on the second Tues
day of every month, (the next on
April 14th, will be the 171th Grand
Drawing) at New Orleans, La., but
they should also take note that
$205,500 will be scattered among
'those who buy tickets at $5.00
each, or $1.00 fractional parts, of
which they can learn fully on ap
plication to M. A. Dauphin, New
Orleans, La.
lms been taken of the Companies
during the past season in regard
to it, and the system does not
yield the reciprocal benefit which
was contemplated. Warehousemen
must therefore lie informed that
their property will be rated strictly
on'the cubic measurement basis as
set forth in the Tariff. It is there
fore essentially necessary that
compartment wnlis be erected, and
that no more space be allotted to
Cotton Storage than is necessary
for the demands of each Ware
house. Wooden Floors will be al
lowed in Close Warehouses, or
under Sheds in “Open” Warehous
es as has been done this year.
Thirdly. The 25 per cent, re
duction granted on Cotton Ware
house Buildings will be annulled,
or at best, is will be limited to
those properties where a warranty
is incorporated in the policies, that
no cotton will be allowed on the
premises between certain months,
to be stated in the policy.
Tiie marked iinpiovement which
has been made at several points
under the stimulus of our work,
of our work, will surely encourage
to renewed and extended effort,
and we can already see the result
ant benefits to communities, and
reciprocally to ourselves.
We beg to renew our tender of
plans and specifications and esti
mate ol cost of a Standard Ware
house for 1,000 bales, and wc are
ready at all times to assist, in all
possible manner, those who dcsirj

turn- j
ed over to the Marine Bank. Mr. !
: Fish personally discounted Grant j
* Ward’s notes at 8 per cent., and
| had them rediscounted by tbe Ma- ]
; rine Bank at C or 7 per cent. The
| accounts of tbe “contract loan”
transactions between the Marine
Bank and Grant & Ward showed
that Grant * Ward were charg-d
for the use ol money us much us
from 50 to 159 percent, per annum.
Mr. Fish was asked what Was the
reason for the Marine Bank charg
ing Grant * Ward these large sums
for the use of money when Grant A
Ward could have borrowed else
where at regular rates.
The witness seemed much embar
rassed, and alter a long pause
answered that two ot the reasons
were that Grant * Ward could
afford to pay and the bank wnnted
the sums charged. The bank only-
charged these large amounts on
contract loans. The contracts were
the basis of the security' on which
the money was lent. The witness
had every confidence that tbe con
tracts were all right. The reason
lie did not enter on the books as
interest the whole amount charged
for the use of the money lent was
because it would have not been
desirable to have it published that
such large interests were charged.
The reason that no reference to
these contracts appeared on the
books was because it would not
have been practicable,and it would
not have been satisfactory to the
directors.

Wasiiinoton, AprilG.- Gen. A. R.
Lawton arrived bore to-day. He is
the guest of Richard T. Merrick.
Ills ease will he considered by the
Cabinet to morrow. The Attorney
General’s opinion to the effect tbat
the Johnson pardon removed his
political disabilities will then be
read, and bis appointment as Min
ister to Russia will be finally deter
mined upon.
Gen. Lawton had a very satis
factory interview this afternoon
with President Cleveland and Sec
retary Bayard. He told the Presi
dent that he wished to relieve him
from all embarrassment, and
therefore hoped that be would act
in regard to his case just as though
he had never sent his nomination to
the Sonate. Gen. Lawton also
called, together with Minister to
England Phelps, upon Secretary
Lamar.
While nothing is yet known of
what the out come will be in Gen.
Lawton’s case, the impression
seems to be that tbe administration
will reach tbe conclusion tbat there
is nothing in the way of Gen. Law-
ton ]| going to St. Petersburg, pro
vided be will accept tbe mission.
It is stated tbat Col. Clifford W.
Anderson, of Savannah, will be
appointed Consul at Manchester,
England, in place Evan P. Howell,
Atlanta,declined. Col. Anderson’s
indorsers aro very influential, so
cially as well as polically.
The President bas made no plans
for tbo summer. The Southern
Democrats want him to go South.
The Northwestern want him to go
to the lakes. The Californians
have been talking about the Pacific
coast to him. He would like to go
to Atlauta In May, and then, proba
bly, take no other outing, except a
month or six weeks in the Adiron-
daks. But he cannot determine
what he will do until he returns—
whether his duties will permit him
to leave at all, and, if so, when. He
likes tho Soldiers’ Home, even in
its gray winter garb, and could
make himself very comfortable
there if he felt constrained to remain
in town.
The Atlanta coroner had a busy
time Wednesday. No less than four
sudden deaths occurred on tbnt
day—two whites and two colored.

Mr Crutches Hone.
I have suffered from rheumatism
for seven or eight years. For one
year I was compelled to use crutch
es. I tried various remedies, espeei
ally every sort of liniment, but
none of them did me any good. 1
saw in the newspapers an adver
tisement of Swift’s Specific for
rheumatism, and resolved to try it.
i have taken four bottles. After 1 j
bad taken it awile I was enabled to
throw away my crutches. I com
menced using Swift’s Specific last
November, and have had no furth
er use for crutches, and only suffer
a little at limes now, and would
not have suffered at all if I had
continued to take the medicine. My
experience with liniments is tbat
they are of but little benefit, and
that only temporary. The disease
is in the blood and must be eradi
cated, and that is tbe reason I took
S. S. S. It is the best blood puri
fier I ever used.

The Youngest Can Use It.
My child, when about one month
old, was afflicted with a dreadful
breaking out on tbe side of bis face.
I took him to tbe doctor, who did
not think there was much the mat
ter, but the child continued to
grow worse. The little fellow was
suffering so much and was so fret
ful that we had no rest night or
day. We consulted other physi
cians and they did what they could,
but brought no relief to the little
sufferor, I tried everything at
hand or tbat I could hear of, but
without tbe desired effect. About
this time I saw an advertisement
of Swift’s Specific. It was recom
mended for skin diseases. I pur
chased four bottles. Tbe first bot
tle did him a great deal of good.
After using the third bottle tbe dis
ease entiiely disappeared, and tbe
child is now perfectly well. I
would recommend S. S. S. as a
houschold|rcmcdy, as it has brought
both health and happiness to my
own. Ciias. W. Samuel,
