Notwithstanding the alarming rumors this summer as to the poor health of the late Ex-President Chester A. Arthur, the news of his death came as a great surprise to the American people. He was a gentle¬ man, and so tilled the position of gentleman that one felt that bi- gentility was an inheritance, He possessed the indescribable charm of manner which made every one who met him a well wisher, even if party differences forced them to withold their political support. lie was a strong republican candidate, and had his party nominated him in 1884 a democratic president would not have been elected. It is pa be regretted that he could not have lived a good, long, happy life and died at a ripe old age after en- joyiQg the blessings lie most truly merited. fci Guano in (lie Legislature. There is more speculation ai d fraud iu the^guano business jn Geor' gia today than in anything else. If the farmers continue to use guano as indiscriminately as they have for the last few years the whole state will become bankrupt. Reprasentative Simmons oi S ter county has introduced in the | (gislature a bill to repeal ti e pres¬ ent law requiring the inspection of fertilizers. It is claimed tiiat the law does not protect the farmers— that they are imposed- on by the law—and that the seventy-five to eighty thousand dollars paid every year by the farmers for I lie in¬ spection of fertilizers is just that much money thrown away, as the inspectors can not prevent the frauds that are practiced by the manufactures. Another Dill hasjbeeu prepared by g member of the legislature to a'r low farmers tojalead'failure of con¬ sideration in the payment of guano notes. Such an act might not be considered constitutional, but it is evident tiiat the farmers do not get the worth of their money in the purchase of guanos. If the farmers were allowed to plead failure o: consideration in the payment ot guano notes—that is, when sued for payment,|if they were allowed to swear that the guano hud not paid them—there would be a revolution in the gua■ o business in this state The LegisliiHirc. Th e state legislature is getting down to business. One of the most important bills, introduced by Mr. Calvin, of Richmond county, pro¬ poses an amendment to the consti¬ tution, transferring the election ", judges of the supreme and superior courts and solicitors general from the legislature |to the people. The hill proposes that the supreme court judges shall be elected by Ha¬ state at large and the superior court judges and solicitors genera by popular vote in their respective circuits. We believe the passage of this bia will be favored by a large ma¬ jority of the people. Tins district is entirely satisfied with its present judge and solicitor; but, as a rub the people of a circuit know more about whom they prefer for judge and solicitor than the legislature. AVe should like to see this bill bc- pome a law-. We will try to give our readers through the session a synopsis of the most important measures that come up in the legislature. The Stolid fioutli. Since the Congressional elections in which the Republicans gained same remarkable victories in Vir¬ ginia and Xorth Carolina, the talk about the probable breaking of the solid South lias been renewed by the Republican politicians. Notwith¬ standing the evidence to the con¬ trary, they continue to assert that the Republican gains w ere due to growth of the prot-ction sentiment .and tiiat tin- pr ic.-tionistsgenerally voted with tin' Republicans. An analysis of the returns front the States named seems to show to the contrary of what is claimed. It was in the agricultural sections generally where the Republicans gained Congressmen, while in the cities tin; Democrats generally held their own, notably in the Richmond district, where the protection senti¬ ment is said to be strongest, but i where a Democratic revenue re- i ; former nominated and elected was tty a large majority. There is no question hi)t that ttie Democratic losses were due to the apathy caused by the want of organ¬ ization and direction of the cam¬ paign by men who knew how to bring out the Democratic voters, and wtio appreciated tin* dangers of a failure to develop a vigorous and aggressive contest. No doubt these reverses will serve to teach anew to the Democracy of those .States the necessity for thor¬ ough organizations, such as Mr. Harbour inaugurated in his cam¬ paigns against Mahoue. The apa¬ thy was, perhaps, not so much in the voters as in the party leaders, who failed to sustain thejr claims to the qualification that should be¬ long to leaders. There is little reason to fear that such a state of tilings will prevail in (888. A lesson has been taught the Democrats of these States that they will hardly forget in the near future. There is little reason to doubt that the South will be as sol¬ id two years hence as it was two years ago. A “special” from Amerieus to the Constitution says that on Monday i>r. Burt was struck and knocked down by Mr. Cliff Clay who contin¬ ued to pound him until pulled off by a bystander. Dr. Burt was found to be considerably bruised but not seriously hurt. From Oglethorpe. Hiram Gaines, of Butler, spent Sunday in our city. Court is in session, but with rather a slim crowd, Messrs. Marshall, Ruggles and French left Tuesday morning for Cincinnati. Mrs. Wardlaw, accompanied by Lucy Keen, left Wednesday even- ng for Augusta to spend a few months. The trains don't suit us much. Mr. Gilmore’s stable adds a great deal to our city. Miss Emma IToruady passed through Tuesday morning on her way home from Ellaviile. Brother Williamson delivers liis last Sermon next Sunday. Bye, bye. —Robert. The War < ioup fi;i|lici>. There is a suggestion of war in the latest telegrams. The Czar has ordered all Russian vessels plying upon the Danube to retire to Odessa. This looks very much as if, disre¬ garding Hie counsel of his advisers, md careless of the results depend¬ ing upon his action, lie has deteu mined to fight England, Italy and Austria combined. If he does, b.\ ais time next year there will not e a Russian vessel on the Black Sc a. But all Russian news just now . uoubtfui.— Telegraph. . snsoii Iffaitulariui'ing < o.

Yum! More! It is almost universally believed to be unlucky to be struck by light¬ ning on Friday; to sit on a buzz saw in motion; to fall down stairs on your head; to speculate with otiier people’s money and got caught; to call a bigger mau than yourself hard nanus; and—to meet a tall rocking eaair when you are trying to get to bed at three in the morning without waking any¬ body. Earthquake shocks continue to be felt along the Atlantic coast. It Is a coincidence that Messrs. Rlount and t’risp, especial favorites of Mr. Carlisle, secured the small' st votes of the Georgia congressmen. This may or may not have any meaning. At any rate it is worth notice.—Telegraph. Readers of the Telegraph learn with regret that Mr. Robert Haydn is no longer connected with that paper, Hjs Industry, good taste and intelligence have largely helped to make the Telegraph the most ably edited and reliable news, paper in the state. Congressmen Turner, Crisp, Rlount, Candler and Clements, of the Georgia delegation, will have chairmanships in the fiftieth con¬ gress. How long will the legislature re* main in session this time? Until Christmas, of course, when they will adjourn until, next July. Three sweet and pretty little Misses, Eva Cheney, May Davis and Stella Tisou, took an ox cart excur¬ sion to Cheney & Tison’s mill last Saturday. They report a delight¬ ful time. t hai lcsj Blackman Kopilcri. Charles Blackman, who was to have been hung here on Friday for the murder of Stonewall Tondee, has gained i respite pending an ap¬ peal to the supreme court, The trial of Blackman for the offense lias occupied the greater portion of tw o tefims of our superior court, and has cost the county over 12,000, Every one admits his guilt, and lie luo never denied the atrocious murder) It is making a dangerous preceden' and unjustly oppressing taxpayers to thus delay the execution of the law and defeat justice by means oi ‘•‘legal” quibbles and technicalities. The Rutier special in the Tel¬ egraph Tuesday morning, stating that a masked mob laid visited and attacked Justice Murray on account of his decision in the Henry John¬ son case, was false in every partic¬ ular. No mob ever visited Mr. Mur¬ ray nor either of the other justices wlio sat on the case with him. The triai took^daee in Kllaville, as re¬ ported in the Telegraph, several weeks since, and the negro was honorably acquitted and discharged FREE TRADE The reduction of internal reve¬ nue and the taking off of revenue stamps from Proprietary Medi¬ cines, no doubt has largely beuefit- ted the consumers,as well as reliev¬ ing the burden of home liianulact- urers. Especially is this the case with Green’s August Flower and Boschee’s .German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, lias been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one- fifth more medicine in the To cent size. The August Flower for Dys¬ pepsia and Liver Complaint, gnd Die German Syrup fur Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sales of any medicines in the world. The advantage of in¬ creased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick and afflicted, in every town and village in civilized countries. Sam¬ ple bottles for 10 cents remain the same size.
