Speculation*.
It is amusing to read the speculations of
Colonel Marcella* E. Thornton, of Atlanta,
upon any subject he takes in hand. Just
now he comes to the front with a somewhat
formidable paper upon fhe question as to
who is likely to be the next Governor
Whoever wrote the article to which Thorn
ton’s initials nrc appended left the gaping
public in everlasting doubt, ns he utterly
failed to look far enough into the future to
satisfactorily answer the perplexing inter
rogatory.
In the first ptuce he settles Colquitt by
saying there is little need to discuss bis
chances for re-election ; but, as if icpenting
of this, in his closing paragraph he remarks
—“Governor Colquitt sustains about the
same relationship to Georgia that Grunt
does to the people of the whole country. It
is hard to tell where he is. what he will do,
or how strong he is—in the nomination.”
Then ho names Gen. Gartrell, whom he
regards as “the most formidable man in the
field;” Col. Hardeman, Gen. I,awton, Judge
Warner, Judge Johnson, Hon It. E Lester,
Mi. Turner, Judge Reese, Judge Mc-
Cutcheon, Joshua Hill, Capt. Bacon—all of
whose chances he discusses and disposes of
with a certainty that admits of no sort of
controversy ; and there is probably not more
tlmn one man in the State who believes it
all, and that man is tbc author himself
Thornton in his own conclusions
But our good friend should call to mind
the trite old adage about the “best laid plans
of mice and men." The election is a good
time of], nor have all the candidates been
named who will between now and the meet
ing of the Convention make known their
names. The Colonel’s predictions, though
founded (in his opinion.) od unerring sagac
ity and far-reaching astuteness, may all
turn out wrong. The names he records may
all bo withdrawn ; some unnamed man may
shoot like a star athwart tbe political firm
ament, and obscure by its brilliancy the fire
fly light of these present magnates. Some
splendid meteor, hitherto unseen by the
political astronomer, may all at once light
up the State with its blinding effulgence,
und make the numerous candidates who stand
in its way resemble those described in tbe
awe-inspiring and soul-harrowing language
of the poet—
“Some was black and some was blacker,
And some was the color of a chaw tobacker.”
Should this happen, the Colonel would be
in a bad fix ; and no doubt, like old man
Norcross, he would always believe he ban
been euchred out of it. Still, the Colonel
should have a chance; and if matters are
the reverse of what be writes, it is not his
fault.
So far as The Weekly is concerned, the
admission is voluntary that its preferenet is
among those named above; and should this
preference bo the nominee, he will have all
the snpport it is possible to give him—and
we feel assured that no man iD Georgia wi!!
illustrate her more brilliantly than be. This
much we say now, and at the proper time
will so define our position as to leave uone
in doubt ns to how we stand.
One word more. This notice is takeu of
“M. E. T." and his speculations simply to
show bow the wind blows. No importance
is attached to them, because this prolific
writer can say one thing as well as another ;
and the subject is left just where we found
it—with the reader—who is expected to
digest it at his most elegant leisure.
Hard Up.—The Charlotte Observer thinks
it evident that cither Gov. Colquitt has not
prayed enough or Gen. Toombs has not
cussed enough, or Georgia’s administrative
affairs would be in better condition. Wonder
if the Obseiver could give the measure of
either prayer or profanity necessary to keep
a State in a sound, wholesome condition in
such* times us these.— Er.
With our present ideas of editorial pro
priety we cannot approve of such innendoes
as the above. Let the press at all times and
under all circumstances respect religion,
especially when it is promulgated by good
men.
Tough.—The Cochran Enterprise is re
sponsible for the following. Were he the
owner of a dozen little hatchets he could
never be a George Washington with this
hyperbole on record against him :
“There is a man living in Laurens county
who has an acre of very rich land. Last
year he planted it in peas, and after gather
ing as many as he wanted for seed, he fat
tened fifty bead of hogs, fourteen head of
cattle, pastured his horses on them all the
winter, and the next spring, when he went
to break up the ground there were so many
shelled peas lying around that an eighteen
inch scooter could uot reach through them.”
Nipped in TnK Bud—The Thomasvillc
Enterprise is a clean hitter, and usually
leaves a dent in the object of its pugilism ;
but this sockdolager cripples others besides
Dr. Miller:
“Well, the Doctor is a gentleman of high
ability and fine character, but has usually
looond up stronger before elections than
alter, and we guess it will be so this time.”
The Origin of thk Ocmuloee. —We clip
this from the Dramatic Tianscript find
Times, a new amusement journal now beiug
published in Macon :
“Bullrr’s History of Macon, now in press,
asserts a fact that the National Hotel of
Perhaps.— The Curnesville Register bus
this to say in behalf of Gov. Brown :
“Whpn Garrard. Walters, or any olhrr
member of the Legislature strikes Joe
Brown, they mny expect to strike something
which will rebound and come at them with
greater force than they are hardly able to
hear I/’t what be said about Governor
Brown that may, one thing, lip is one of the
o’d coons that makes the fur fly whenever he
strikes.”
And it Was the possession of this facnlty
of making the “fur fly" that induced Gen
Meade to employ the Governor to prosecute
and that to conviction, innocent men. Per
haps you are right, Mr. Register.
How is It? —Northern papers stick to it
that Beu Hill is Qt the head of the Inde
pendent movement in this State. If such is
not the case the Senator should say so ; if it
is so, let him at once, without delay, unite
himself to those in sympathy with him. Mr.
Hill may ruin bis chances of returning to
the Senate if be does not promptly deny the
“harsh impeachment.” Where are you, Ben
jamin ?
No End. —The controversy between Gov.
Brown and Mr. Garrard is likely to extend
into several weeks’ time. The ex-Governor
never tires, even io defending a bad cause,
and hence when he gets started on this line
he never knows when to stop. Of course
our sympathies are with Garrard, just as
they were with (he Asbburn prisoners at the
time of the trial.
Comptroller-General Wright.
“Chatham,” tiie Atlanta correspondent of
the Savannah News, gives the following short
history of the life and services of Capt. W.
A. Wright, the newly appointed Comptroller
of the State :
Captain William A. Wright having given
his bond to-day and entered upon tbe duties
of his office, it will not be out of place to
present the renders of the Morning News
with a brief skeleh of this new Stute official.
A thrill ol pleasure will t»e felt by thou
sands of ex Confederate soldiers when they
learn that Capt. W. is the eldest pod of the
lamented General A. R Wright, first com
mander of the grand old Third Georgia
Regiment, a brother of the Hon. H. G.
Wright, of/he Augusta Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist, aud member of the House of
Representatives from Richmond county, and
a brother-in-law of Col Thomas S WayDe,
of Savannah.
Willie Wright was born in Louisville,
Jefferson county, January l!)tb, 1844, and
was a student at tbe Jefferson Academy
when the war broke out. Full of patriotism,
and desiring to follow the fortunes of his
gallant father, ho enlisted in the Dawson
Grays, of Greene county, as a privute, und
remained so uutil his father became a Brig
adier-General when he was made ordnance
officer of the brigade, with the rank of lieu
tenant. This position he continued to fill
after his father rose to the command of a
division, but with the higher rank of captain.
Of an active temperament and fine mental
perceptions, he proved himself a valuable
stuff vfficer.
in tbo matter of courage and fidelity to
duty on the field of battle, Captain Wright
was ever conspicuous. Although he lost a
leg at tho terrible second battle of Manassas,
lie rallied from bis wounds and was again in
the saddle at Chancellorsville During Gen.
march upon Gettysburg, however, be
was captured und sent to Johnson’s Island,
in Lake Erie, where he was confined for
eleven months. On being exchanged he
joined his father’s command just about the
time Grant and Lee reached Petersburg.
The surrender soon followed, and his military
career, so varied and so honorable, camo to
an end, and l.esheathed a sword that hangs
to-day without a stain upon its trusty blade.
Returning home, Captain Wright engaged
in planting in Columbia county, where he
made for himself a pleasant and happy
home, having selected a most estimable lady,
Miss Ellen G. Carter, daughter of Dr. John
B. Carter, of Augusta,as his life companion
Four interesting children have blessed this
union aud made n happy home still happier
and more attractive. At tbe last election
of Comptroller-General Captain Wright was
a candidate, but withdrew io favor of Col.
Goldsmith, and became Clerk of the Wild
Land Department of that office. Having
discharged his duties faithfully, honestly arid
with marked ability, despite all the crooked
ness surrounding him, the majority of the
Genera! Assembly petitioned Governor Col
quitt to appoint him to fill the unexpired
term of Colonel Goldsmith. The Governor
complied, and a score of Irieuds at once
volunteered as bendsmen, thus enabling him
to enter immediately upon tbe discharge ol
the duties of the office. Our new Comp
troller-Ueuerai is one of the mo*t popular
aod amiable meu that I ever knew, both
socially and officially, aud, with the sad late
of others before him, I feel satisfied that he
will prove faithful and honest to the end of
his official career His two years of public
life in Atlauta have served to make more
firm his sterling qualities of head and heart,
and to strengthen his manly moral character.
In personal appearance he is of spate build,
a little over medium height, sharp features,
smooth face with frank expression, aud light
curly hair.
The House in an Uproar.—Paring the
evening session iu the House of Represent
atives last Tncsday. a lively debate occurred,
growing out of a bill introduced by Mr.
J. 11. Shanuon, of Franklin, to appropriate
two hundred thousand dollars yearly to
build the new Capitol. Mr. McWhorter, of
Greene, ofl r.d a substimte to submit the
question of returning the Capitol to Mil
ledgeville to the people. Several bitter
speeches were made against Atlanta, and
she was bitterly defended. The House went
into the committee of the whole, and the
committee adopted the substitute and rec
ommended its passage. The House broke
up in confusion. McWhorter claims to
have > flered his substitute as a joke, bat it
was turned to earnest. The scenes in
tbe House were exciting and animated, and
'‘uiucnon on!v wi
Attachment to Nkwspapkrb —The strong
attachment ol subscribers to well conducted
newspapers is fully confirmed hy publishers
‘Stop my paper” —words of dread to be
ginners in business —lose their terror Bfter
a paper has beprt established for a term of
years. So long a« a paper pursues a just,
honorable, and judicious conrse. meeting the
wants of its customers in all respectß,
the ties of friendship between the sub
scribers and the paper are as hard to break
bv an outside third piotv ns the link which
bind 3 old friends in business or social life.
Occasionally defects and errors in a news
paper are ove;looked by tho e who have
become attached to it, through its perusal
for years They sometimes become dissat
isfied with it on account of somethng
which had slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it; but the absence of the fa
miliar sheet at their homes and office, for a
few weeks, becomes an in-upportable p iva
tiou, and they hasten to take it again and pos
sibly apologize for having it stopped. No
friendship on earth is more constant than
that contracted by the reader for a journal
which makes on honest and earnest effort to
merit its continued support, lienee a
conscientiously conducted paper becomes a
favorite in the family.

Among the useful Toilet articles
we notice a much-liked preparation for the
hair, possessed of properties so remarkub'e
that no ODe who cares to own a clean and
healthy scalp with beautiful hair should
pass it untried Its properties are
cleansing, invigorating and healing, and af
ter a few applications the hair ceases to
fall. Dandruff and Humors disappear and
tho hair grows clean, soft and silky. It
keeps the bead cool and comfortable and
gradually restores the hair if gray or faded
to the natural and I fe-like color beautiful to
look upon. It is Parker’s /lair Balsam
that has won such popular appreciation by
its many excellent and healthful properties.*
Sold in large bottles, at only 50 cts. and
