we desire to present ihe claims of the

The features that have rendered the Mor

and the ample facilities ot the establishment
devoted to making it, if possible, still more
worthy of the confidence and pationage of
the people of Georgia and Florida.
The editoral department will be conduct

but, at the same time, with vigorous and
earnest devotion to the interests of our sec
tion, and to the p inciples of the National
Democratic Farty. Its State, Generil and
Telegraphic news departments, and its Lo
cal aDd Commercial columns will be kept up
to their old standard of completeue a ami
reliabiliiy, and improvements made when
ever they may suggest themselves. In a
word, the MORNING NEWS will comprise
everv feature that renders the newspaper of
to-dav attiactive, and its patrons may ron “
fidei.tly look to its pages for the latest infor
mal iou in regard to current events. Y ield
ing to no rivalry in its own proper field, it
wilt allow no competitor to outs.rip it in
journalistic enterprise.
Besides the well known

He charges us with having seen fit

to wiite and talk of the poor crons and

we thought when any one wrote or
tatked about crops and other matters,
they did it all along the lines, on cith
er side. It appears that friend “Tob

town of D. ) when ho was talking
and was disposed to pnlce a title fun

appropriate, and if “Tobie” 'and his

all go well with him. He claims to

that we have the 10 acres that is as
good as his half acre bottom, and will
house more than enough corn to sqaeeze

of old corn to do us until the first of
October If “Tobie” wishes to borrow
any as he did in the past, wo will

or usury which is much better than

many sleepless nights with ‘‘unneces

works or the poor crops he makes, or
his future determination as in the past
for indulgences. Like all we rus'ic

11l Which He Dilates Upon Cur

Sunday is a field day with the news
pap°rß men when General Toombs is
in town. They all admire him and
are anxious to got within hearing dis
tance of his active tongue, and it is
not too much to say that the general
is fond of the newspaper men, albeit
he is not slow to take them sharply to
task upon occasion and when the
critical moods stiung upon him. He
was in the city Sunday and
FELL READILY INTO A TRAr
laid for him by one of the ovarsaid
newspapermen, but’alter all, the re
sult was unsatisfactory. It is next
to ’’mposihle to-corrcctly report one of
Toombs’s formal orations but when
it comes to reporting one of his con
versations, the most aleit stenograph
er would go astray. It would be
comparitively an easier task to gather
up a handfull of gold-dust fired fibni
a shot-gun. It is impossible to seize
upon the dramatic pithiness that char
acterizes everything. Gen, Toombs
says aLd reproduce it upon paper —
just as impossible as it would be for
the general to repeat one of hie con
versations. He can repeat Shak.
speare, whom he hasn’t read in years
hut not himself. Theseconsiderations
however, weighed nothing with the
reporter who tackled Gen. Toombs at
the Kimball house last Sunday.
WHO SAVED THE STATS?
“General” said the reporter, as dis
interestedly as possibly, “the newspa
pers and the people are all puz
zled.”
“How is that?” asked the general
blandly.
“Well, there is a problem before
us, Bnd wo don’t know how to solve
it.”
“Have you tried equation ?”
“That is what has made the troub
le.”
“Woll, what is the problem ?” as
ked tlm general, appearing to grow
interested.
“Piumply flrtly,” responded the
reperter, “it is whogaved the state?”
There must have hem soms hu
morous suggestion in the question 1
for general Toombs loughod long and
hardly.
OF OLF.NTAL PATTERN.
“That’s rich,” he said when he
could controll his risibilities. “It’s

and Ben,” alluding to Mr. Stephens
and Mi. Hill, “have been quareling

lawyers opposed to me in a case.—
You asked me who saved the state.
Is the state really saved? We must
wait and see. Here is another ele-
ment of conservatism patience. —
What they ara really disputing Rbout
is, who broke down the radical party
in Georgia Alex says hia resolution
did it, and Ben says he did it with
his convention and his notes on the
situation M iybo they both did it: but
in my opinion, continued General
Toombs with one of his indescribable
gestures, one of my old shot-bags full
*
of silver was worth more in those
dayes than ten cartloadsof resolution
and votes and conventions. About
be time we were all trying to gett
good men in office, one sbot-bag of
pewter quarters would convince a
county full of niggers that the domo
cratcs were their best friends.”
not anew view,
“That is anew view of the case,’
said the inueceut reporter.
“Not at all,” said the general. “Our
only safety was in intimation and
bribery. We had eith- r to do that
or let the commonwealth go to the
dogs. It was not what the radicals
call the argument of tho shot-gun
that I used in my ristrict but the ar
gument of the shot-bag. Isaac had
belonged to me, and he wa9 willing
to do whatever i told him. The stile

shot-bagsastonised the lederal officials
who were watching the election and
brought a
WnOLESOME AND DECIDED CHANGE
in the politics of the colored voter.
I uever yet saw a uegro,” continued
the general laughing, “that wasn’t
in favor of hard money. But it’s too
early to be talking about who saved
the state. The republican parly was
defeated by the men who stood at the
polls early and late and brought
orter that chaos with bribery. Yes
sir—bribery pure and simple, I say
it was right. It doesn’t make any
difference who saved the
state. The biggest of us won’t weigh
more than an ounce when Time boils
us down.”
“General,” said the reporter, re
minded of ihe money question by the
remark about the negro as a hard
money citizen; “what do you think
about the first money busines?”
“Oh it is nonsense. It dosn’t
amount to anything to begin with, !
and it won’t amount to
anything to end with. There are al
ways men who delight to spill
A XIAIFOLL OF FACTS
for the purpose of running after one

who are fools. It is so much easier to
be wrong than right, that good many
clever people never take the trouble
to be right. But they get right aftor
awhilo. So with this financial fallacy
It may mislead a few people now, but
it won’t last long.”
Here General Toombs went into an
entertaining exposition of money, is
functions aud its uses, in the course
of which he recalled to mind the fact
that confederate money was not legal
teder. Upon the subject of the con
test in the oiuth district, the general
seems to he of the opinion that Colo

SPEER TOO ACTIVE.
“Between Abbott’s leisurely meth
ods, and Speer’s activity I think Ab

will he fatal to him.”
It may he said here that General
Toombs did not talk for publication,
and the reporter has merely called

the way through. Atlanta Constitution.

At eight o’clock the other morning
a Secoud street wifa followed her hus
band dowu to the gate as he was start
ing for down town, and kindly said to
him:
“William, you know how sadly I
need a blue bunting dress.”
“Yes, dear,” he remarked, “but you
know’ bow hard up I am. As soon
as I can see my way clear you shall
have the dress, and anew hal to boot.
Be patient, be goed and your toward
shall be great.”
Forty minutes after that he einerg.
ed from a restaurant with a big bas
ket and a fish-pole, bound up the riv
er, In the basket was a chicken, pick
les, cake, fruit, pi a and a bottle of
liquid of rich color, and he was jus:
lighting a twenty-cent cigar wheu his
wife came along.
“What’you here?” lie exclaimed.
“Yes, I was going to the market.
Where are you going ? what’s in that
basket ?”
‘ I was going to c.irry this fish-pole
around to a friend on Jefferson aven
ue, he modest answered.
“And that basket ?”
“This basket —woll I was going to
take it to the Orphan Asylum as a
present to the children. It is a dona
tion irom six leading citizens.
“William. I don’t believe it!”
“8li! Don’t talk so loud !”
“William I shall talk louder yet!”
she exclaimed. “I bet j'ou are going
fishing!”
“Mary, have I ever deceived you ?”
he plaintively asked. I have.
As proof of my cir.cerity you can take
this basket to the asylum yourself!”
“And I’ll do it!” she promptly re
plied as relieved him of it.
“Mary, hadn’t you—?”
“No, sir, I hariu’t. You’d better
hurry up with that fish-pole, as the
man may want it, aud be careful how
you stand around in the hot sun !”
She left him there. He watched
her take the car for home, and then
he returned the fish-pole and c r ossed
the B‘reet and said to an acquainta
nce :
“Toro, I’m suffering with ueural
gia, and the excursion is put off tiil
next week. Too bad, but we can
never tell what a day may br : ng
forth.”
There was chicken and pickles a; and
other good things on ttie table at din
ner, but he never smiled. Even when
his wife wished she was an orphan, if
that was the way they were fed, he
never betrayed the gloom in his hca t.
It was only when she handed him the j
bottle he had so catefuily tucked into
the barket, and he saw it labeled i
“Good for little children,” that he
said.
“Mary, it is an awful thing for a
wife to get the impression that her
husband is a cold-blooded liar!”
“It must be,” she replied, as shb
took the other chi- ken leg.

ion on tho border, may precipitate a
conflict which will opt be a light one.
We have a small force, theie insttnot
ed to disregard all protests fton Mex
ico, to ignore all massing (if troops
for resistat ce. and to pursue maraud
ers ov r tho border into Mexico. This
is war. To cross the line is an act of
war. B‘ill, such a state o! affairs
might continue for months. As an
act of war, it may be a poit-y justifi
ed by eiroumstai.oes. A capture of
Mexicans, a slight skirmish with “no
body hurt,” a matching and counter
marching might go on for some time;
but the fitst time an American force
is captured orj.slaughtetod by Mexican
troops, the ball will be set a-ridltng
snd this oountry will blaze with war
fevei, and we will begin a state of
war which will cost us some blood
some money, perhaps some fore’gn
complications, aud perhaps do no g. eat
good alter all.

WILL HAYES BE IMPEACH
ED.
Mr. Springer Thinks Hr Will be
and points to the Testimony.
Washington Post.
The Post caught Hon. William At
i Springer, ol Potter committee, on the
fly, yesterday, as lie paused through
: Washington, on route to join his fam
ily at Deer perk and brieflyinterview
|ed him on the subject ol the testimo
ny taken. He said be considered the
case against Hayes suheient’y estab
lished already. “ Why,” said he “lake
the Wormly conference alone. It
has bean conclusively established that
there was such a conference, ami that
it resulted in a bargau or understand
ing— call it what tney choose—which
ended in the inauguration of Hayes.
It has proven that certain sutherit
democrats agrebd to break dowu the
filibustering movement, and thus
open the wy for a pieceful inaugu
ration of Hayes, on condition that cor
dition that certain concessions were
made to Liuisiana and South Caroli
na. T is part of the Largan was as
' tented to by Hayes’s friends, and he
subsequently ratified it. It has been
further p-oven that on the very day
that Hi yes was inaugurated, and hut
an honr or two before the ceremony,
Cen. Gibßon,Levy and others waited
on him and wanted to kmiw if he in
tended to abide by the agreement,—
He assures them he did, and that he
would veiy soon provide a way to car
ry it out. The McVeagh commission
was provided as the way, aDd thug the
Pakard government was overthrown!
Mr. Hayes himself was n paity to the
corrupt transaction, and must be held
responsible.”
I “How held responsible?”
“By impeachment. That is tha
ODly legal way f to reach him. That
one act alone, and before the commit*
tee concludes there null he others to
I add to it, is sufficient to impeach Hay
es, and Ahe house will, no doubt, pre
s*nt articles against h ; m.”
“But lie wilt be tried by a republi
can senate?”
“He may not he. After the 4th of
next Murch the senate will he demo
cratic. But even the present senate,
with its republican majorty, could not
j avoid a verdict ef guilty.”
| “Wouldn’t Wheeler then become
president !”
I “But the same corruption which
'seated Hayes also seated Wheeler so,
■ lie could not hold the place. Next to
the Vice-psesident the president of the
senate is the highest officer, and after
j the 4th of next March that position
will be held by a dem >rrat. But I
j have only referred to the Worrnly cod
| lerence. That is but one of tne many
corrupt acts established against the
administration by the invislig ition.
Everything has been proven that we
expected, and there is a great deal
more yet to coma.”
How She Lelt. —A your g lady in
I Frederictio.i, N. 8., had a narrow es
cape from drowning on Tuesday last,
j She fell over a wharf and had sunk
the third time, and lay on the bottom
; of the river, when a Mr. Orr put down
j a pole and fortunately touched her.
She describes her sensations as not
unpleasant, could distinctly see the
people ou the wharf, and wondered
why they did not assist her; she saw
the pole coming down, and imagined
it of immense sizo and length. The
moment it touched her she cl ispeu it,
and eays she could have climbed to
the moon on it. Mr. O r says she
came up the pole like a equirrel. —Sh
