Rloqckkt, Very —Hear the Western
liooder tliat scribbles for the Central Geor
gia Weekly:
This paper is Democratic, and its editor
believes in Democracy. We advocate no
parly or taction which grouodsits principles
on sell, and its practices on fraud. We be
lieve more in principles than in policy. We*
ate ao “Greely stow'’ and we do not propose
to sup on “organized Iraud.”
Thia is rich—a reg’lar crusher. The
| “organized" Democracy will be ruined. Gov.
" Colquitt, Sen. Gordon and other ‘‘frauds'’
most step down, or else conciliate this editor
u> eotoe wsy. 2he ease is really alarming.
An Elegant Arrangement.
It would appear that certain parties in
and arodrid Atlanta hate thna early mapped
not the plan for the next Congressional cam
paign. A correspondent o( the Gainesville
Southron very lucidly tells the story, and
doe* it in a manner that is extremely re
freshing to the n n sophist oca ted suffragists of
this end of fhe District. Hear what he has
to say
“I*he most notable event in our polities
Wrtl' he the candidates lor Congress. The
friends of the present incumbent demand
that he shall again be nominated by the
ring, and shall take another two years whifl
at Washington air. To this the yonng
Democracy of the district have prepared a
veto in the shape of Frank L. Haralson.
Esq They have rightfully concluded that
“Little Nat'’ mnnt take a back seat, aa bis
record" io Congress, his record for Georgia,
( and his record in her defense in time of war,
does not entitle him to a longer pension on
public honors. I believe fie will be nomi
nated like he was before, but T believe that
Frank Haralson will defeat him nefore the
people. Mr. Haralson is well known to
your readers. He is the Sneer ol the Fifth
1 District. He is capable fully, honest, ear
j nest and dbvoUt. Reports from all over the
| district announce bis acceptability to the
people. His record is pure, and bis friends
will make every iffnrt to reward his talent
and availability. He is a fearless orator.
He is finm the people and of the people, and
knows their wants, and will not be afraid to
demand them. .Vo stain murg ttie beauty
of His character, and that, together with
merit, is wbat a suffering and prostrate
people demand. ”
A nice little arrangement, truly. But,
while rt were a pity to spoif so admirable a
game, we opine “the young Democracy” of
other portions of the District will “prepare
a veto” also, and our Atlanta friends will
dwcuvor that it takes two >0 make a bar
gain.
Now we have nothing to soy against Mr.
Haralson. Were he to be nominated by
the convention he would receive out; cordial
indorsement ; but we protest against a pro
ceeding which would close the door against
other good men, or, in other words, defy the
sentiment or ehoice of every other section of
the District. Haralson may be popular in
his own county, but that does not warrant
the assertion that he would run even tolera
bly well elsewhere. If the ipse dvrit —the
mere say-so—of a few men in one quarter
must be taken as of sufficient force to name
the coming man, why may it not be the case
io another section? There is not a county
in the District that does not contain at least
one man who would make a good Represent
ative, and whose claims may be equal to
him who is heralded forth us “the Speer of
our District.”
Yes, this is a wonderfully nice game.
Those who arc managing it are entitled to
many thanks for the adroitness evinoed and
the cheek exhibited It takes real geniuß to
do these things well, snd we are prond of
the genuine article aa found in the healthy
region round about Atlanta. Mr. Haralson,
we feel sure, is also t>'?hly elated with his
surroundings. The men who are poshing
him forward ure just the men to push
mountains out of the way, or roll tides buck !
They never say tail, never—that is, hardly
ever!
The enthusiastic admiration of the South
ron’s correspondent faiily boils over. He
tells ns— ‘ Haralson can curry this county
one thousand votes over llummond or any
other man.” .Saints defend us 1 Such may
be true, and yet he might be badly on the
wrong side of the wire at the end of the
race. Besides, the bare a«sertion of the
scribbler who occupies the columns of our
esteemed contemporary, unless sustained by
proof, does not amount to anything; and
here we buvo the declaration unsupported by
any evidence whatever. It is evidently a
case of counting chickens in advance.
Seriously, we deplore the tendency now
becoming so patent here and elsewhere to
break loose from time-honored usages, and
to enter for these great contests little
nags whose speed should be exhibited
only od local courses. This thiug {
if continued, will in a few years result
moet disastrously. Our people are now
getting along admirably, and are tolera
bly well satisfied, but break down party
usage, and let the Independent come
in, and there will be once more, as
in the past, mourning io the land.
However, the day is a long way off yet.
and we eannot think it will be fraught with
much evil when it does come. Time will
show.
Investigate.— The Legislature, while it is
in the iuvesligatiog business, ought to ap
point a committee to investigate and analyze
Atlanta whiskey, as it does not teem to
agree with some of the members. —Atlanta
Phonograph.
Perhaps a liberal deduction of mileage and
per diem would aid tbe members in getting
at tbe true inwardness of the case. Four
dollars a day is tempting, when coated with
legislative honors, and washed down with
Lovett’s "private stock.”
Mobmons in Gzobqia —The papers are
mistaken about tbe fearful inroads the Mor
mons are makiug in tb s section ol tbe State.
In Whitfield county they have not converted
a dozen. Their material has simply been
the pickup of half a dozen States and cred
ited to Georgia because of their concentra
tion at Chattanooga. And even tbe few
deladed oucs who have gone have been more
ooavertod to tbe rich lands and co-operative
principles of tbe Mormons than to polygamy.
—Dalton fkadligit.
This ia about iLe truth of the matter,
What few converts they have made are from
the riff-raff element of society—men aDd
women who rarely attend the preaching of
the Word. But these wicked and infatuated
missionaries are glad to get even these, and
tboy should be heartily welcome to them.
Tit» Groroia Dkrbv —An exchange,
after naming over the racers and b'gh-flyers
entered for the great gubernatorial race,
says :
“It is gratifying indeed to fiave such a
brilliant array of good names from which to
select the next Governor of this grsnd old
commonwealth; but one thing is certain,
only one of them can win the blue ribbon.
The rest will have to choke down their dis
appointment, be sponged off and blanketed
for some race thereafter.”
True. Bot ore can win, and so ft were
wise if each one could manage so aa to save
his entrance fee. Like the great English
Derby, which depopulates London and closes
Parliament for a day, our Derby is the event
to which aft eyes are turned, and the winner
will have a bard tussle for victory.
TTis Last Battue.—Gen. J. B. Hood is
dead. Hia wife had preceded him but a few
days. A family of eleven children—all
yourg, and mostly twins—are left behind, a
legacy to the South he loved so well. Let a
grateful people remember him and the desti
tute little ones thus orphaned.
General Toombs.
Here can be seen, also, men who have
helped to rule the destiny of the nation.
Here, also, are men ot heart and moD of
mind, men of wpalth and men of worth.
Among this varied collection is one famous
among Southrons, » mao called, in tumiliar
Southern vernacular, “Bob Toombs, of
Georgia,” not s* eking notoriety, but con
spicuous in presence and bearing. He baa
kept himself rather close, but the writer, in
walking along the piazza some days sinre,
lazily smoking a cigar, heard a round “By
God, sir,” roll forth with an emphasis pecu
liar to some of our “unreconstructed rebels,”
and turning rapidly, we stood at the elbow
of General Toombs. No man seeing him
can turn without a second look, and no man
looking can help listening to the “old man
eloquent,” and so did we.
Carelessly graceful in posture, his portly
form rose six feet and more into the air,
rather a short, fat neck, upon which sat,
with an air of unsubdued boldness, a massive
head, long iron grey locks fell about his
neck and ears, producing a somewhat pic
turesque shagginess of appearance ; a black
slouch bat, peaked, and with lowered brim,
was druwu down over the broad, wrinkled
forebcud until it touched the shaggy eye
brows, beneath which shines clear, fearless
brown eyes, which tested upon the listeners
with flashes, varying according to the utter
ances of the talker. From between these
eyes springs a large straight nose, rather
full at the end, and shelving off into wide,
thin nostrils, which, quiveriug and dilating
as the words rolled forth, showed the elo
quence of the proud, strong lips, which
never yet learned to speak a submissive
word. Beneath the wide, thick-lipped
mouth is a broad, heavy, double chin, which
rolls away beneath the ample folds of an
old-fashioned standing-collar. Except for
a thin tuft of beard between the two chins,
the (ace is clean.— While Sulphur Spitngs

Airs. Sprague.
Poor Mrs. Sprague has to suffer not only
from Conk ling's unpopularity, but from her
husband’s drunken insanity. We know, in
knowing her, that she is as innocent of the
wrong imputed as her youngest child. To
appreciate this we have to know or remem
ber that, inheriting much of her honored
father’s intellect and force of character, she
grew to womanhood without a woman’s care
and with a training given a man. The re
sult is, that while as pure a woman as God
ever created, she looks at the social world
from a man’s stand-point. When a mere
girl of sixteen her soul revolted at tbe unjust
and illiberal discrimination made against her
sex. She found Hick Nrvina, the handsome,
dashing mau of the world, in a small, flat
State capital, where the only amnscmcots
are visits to the penitentiary and asylums for
the insane, deaf and blind. She found Dick,
we say, a pleasant gentleman to know inti
mately, and when tbe small-sonlcd, copper
bottomed, gilt-edged aristocracy of tbe place
forbid tbe in'imacy, Kate defied the pro
hibition. Sbe was incontinently run over
by a drove of social bulls and heifers, and
would have been plastered in tbe nurd, post
fiuding, but for ber own pluck aud her fa
ther’s high position.
Victory made her bold, defiant and im
prudent, and tbe poor little woman tries tbe
same fight, now that ber great father is dead,
her fortune gone, her social position no
longer secure, and ber spirit broken by mis
fortune. Sbe found the society of Senator
Conk ling pleasant, and she asked no niau’s,
aud eke, no woman’s consent to tbe same. U
was the most open aud defiant social traoa
action ever sneered at by the thin lips and
lalse teeth of this hydra headed social world.
Baki-beaded, rouod bellied, slender-legged
Senators, who can be carded out by strum
pets, nodded and blinked at each other iike
owls io a bay-loft, aud old, aristocratic fam
ilies—twenty yaurs old, ut least, in whose
closets at home grinning skeletons make tbe
air unhealthy—spoke ol ber as “that person.’’
lioscoe Coukiing, who, with aii his iuiei
iect and intelligence, is, through his excessive
vanity, an ass, helped wreck the frail bark
of her platooio a fleet.on. He delighted io
the foul suspicion. He bad captured, and
held a willing captive,one of the high queens
ol society. IJe reveled in the oolonety. He
lost no opportunity to make it the more
notorious. He smacked bis beastly lips
over, not the gratification of desires long
since burned out, but over the notoriety ol a
supposed gratification that led bu mordiuaie
vanity.
We envy no man's pillow who could read
with eyes uumoisUDed the pitilul account of
this once briliiaut woman, this loved and
lovable creature, following meekly, yet
bravely, her children, turn from ber hv a
brnte of a husband, to the borne two un
worthy men had rendered desolate.— Wash

Saratoga Dialect.
There are three kinds of guest* in Sara
toga : The jolly young lady who comes to
be smtv»ed, the rich and ugly yonog Wv
who come* here to amuse and stun people,
and the aristocratic, worldly ladv who comes
to maneuver for social status. The worldly
ladv who come* to improve tier social status
is *he one who makes alf ffie social cliques
Her principal bn«iness is to sit up firm, find
ont the money and social status of ev“rv one
in the hotel, and then work for introductions
to aristocratic parties. Then the cl ; qne
business commences. About six selfish idiots
are sufficient to make a successful clique.
The clique once formed, the members sit
around all day Isolated in some exposed lo
cality. stare people with aristocratic looks,
and scandalize everybody in the hotel.
I joined one of the aristocratic cliques the
other day, just to see how it would seem.
We sat by ourselves all day. our clique did.
Several people whom we used to know quite
Well in New York came up to speak to ns,
but we cut them dead. They didn’t have
money enough to get into our set. When a
young man pasped, who bad recantly inherit
ed a large fortune, we sent out one of onr
cliques to bring him up for an introduction,
and then we held on to him like grim death.
During the day our clique of six occupied
twelve chairs on the balcony of the aristo
eraltc States. We filled these chairs with
India shawls, inlaid fans and point lace para
sols. When any of the poor and vulgar
people come near us, we all looked very
haughty and talked loud enough *o he beard
all over the haleonv about those dreadful
common people in the hotel, who were so
vnlgar as to enjoy themselves. When no
body was looking we all yawned, fumbled
French novels (which we could not read.)
and sneered with elevated noses “We didn't
come to Saratoga to enjoy onr°elves,” we
said ; “we came here to be aristocratic."
I stood their aristocratic business just one
day, and then I broke. I could not stand
stupidity any longer, even if it were aristo
cratic. I sighed for a little intellectual fun,
and when I saw a group of happy young la
dies telling anecdotes, satirizing, humbug
ging and laughing in a natural way, 1 went
straight way and joined them.
Just opposite us sat a party of young la
dies who came here to amuse and stun peo
ple. The principal beau among them had
just returned from abroad. He was very
Eoglishy. He coaid hardly speak our poor
American language at all.
"Chawmin’ ev’nin’, Miss Astor,” he said,
or rather mombled, imitating the English
Cockney dialect.
“Yes, awful charming. Dance to-r.ight,

“Aw, kneuw, I kon’t donee. I think its
beastly to donee—perfectly atwocious—baw

“Oh, no, Mr. Livingstone, it’s perfectly
lovely. The weather is just too sweet for
anything. Just the time for flirting on the
balconies. They pay you are a great flirt,
Mr. Livingstone—dreadful!”
“Aw, kueuw, Miss Astor. I don't flirt. I
think it*B a hawid practice. I could not
think of spooning with a young lady who

“Aw, yeou don’t say so, Miss Astor 1 l)o

dark corner of the balcony.— Eli Perkins.
Too Mant Grave-Yakds.— Somebody
tells a story of a traveler who pat np at a
BoetOD hotel. He was given a room in the
rear of tire building,and the first sight which
met his eye in the morning was a gloony
expanse of a grave-yard right under his
window. He was a man ot sensitive nature,
and the landscape spoiled his appetite for
that day. As soon as his day’s work or
pleasure was over, he quietlv removed his
bnggage to another bouse. Here be asked
for a front room and went to sleep in peace ;
but io the morniog, as before, Aurora’s gen
tle beams gilded a dazzling array of tomb
stones across the street in the King’s Chapel
grave-yard. The gentleman had another
day’s bad digestion, hot, being of courage
ous disposition, he made a third trial, and
expressly stipulated that he should not be
given 8 back room Dor a front one. The
gentlemanly clerk assigned him a cheerful
parlor on the west aide, and the goest went
to bed happy. He aros* feeling decidedly
more cheerful, and drew his curtsies to feast
bis gaze on tbe old Granary Cemetery, with
tombstones three hundred years old molder
mg before him. It was too much for the
stranger, ne paid bis bill and departed to
hunt np a town "where it wasn’t so un
healthy that they had to have a grave-yard
attached to every hotel.”— Worcester Spy.

Chambers’ Encyclopedia t A Dictionary of
Universal Knowledge for the People, with
very large additions upon topics of special
interest to A merican readers. The amount
of matter will somewhat exceed that of the

the price is bat a fraction of their cost Vol
