Last Tuesday, the Bth instant, elec tions were held in three important states of the union, —Ohio, Indiana and lowa. In lowa a Governor, Legislature and Congressmen were elected. In this state the Republicans have a very large majority, its representation in Congress? consisting of nine members is solidly Republican, and the Republican major ity in the Legislature is overwhelming. The Legislature, just elected, will elect a U. S. Senator to succeed Allison, Re publican. The Democrats, of course expected nothing from this election. The Legislature, elected in Indiana, will elect a Senator to succeed Voor liees, who was appointed by the Gover nor to fill the vacancy made by the death of Morton, Republican. Yoor hees is a Democrat. The principle interest in regard to the elections was centered upon Ohio, because it was the first election held since the state was redistricted by a Democratic Legislature; because it is the home of President Hayes and one of liis Cabinet officers, and, also, the home of Thurman, who is rapidly com ing into view as tjie probable candidate of the Democrats for the Presidency in 1880. This state has twenty Con gressmen. of which twelve of the pres ent members are Republicans and eight are Democrats. The elections are us ually pretty close, but the Democrats hoped to make a large gain in the Con- gressional delegation on last Tuesday. These elections are also looked to M with great interest in consequence of the new elements recently born into American politics under the name of Greenbackers Nationals etc. etc. It was a doubtful problem what strength these new parties, if they may be so called, would be able to muster in the elections, and this element of uncer tainty confuses the calculations of the most sagacious. We believe it highly probable that the elections of Tuesday have struck the finishing blow to the Republican party. If the Democrats have held their own in the other states and elect ed a majority of Congressmen in Ohio, which they hoped to do under the new order of things, we believe the Repub lican party is dead. Having already lost the Senate, if they fail to regain the House, with such a President as Haves in the chair they are very dead. If Ohio has gone democratic, Thurman will be our next President. The very meagre news that we have received since the above was in type seems altogether in favor of the Re publicans. especially in Ohio. These telegrams were dated, however on the day of the election, and, of course, the result could not then be known. So far as they go they look rather blue for the Democracy. We hope for better news for our next issue. * The Yellow Fever. The news from this scourge contin- C nes about the same from day to day, and will continue the same dreadful monotony until frost. Hundreds are •lying daily, and the disease is spread ing to new localities. Contrary to its usual custom, the disease is spreading through the country among the farmers, aud kills negroes as well as white folks. A* Chattanooga the fever does not seem fo spread rapidly or to be very fatab dough it has taken off a few of the U< -t citizens. < hie man has died at Vicksburg with yellow fever, supposed to lx-, but he 1 vomited large quantities of worms, ov er wfiich the Doctors are now much pnzzled. They have sent them to an cmin- nt chemist to be investigated. \ fire in Savannah, last Friday night, di s'roved twenty-three wooden dwelling houses, mostly occupied by negroes. Tlio Speaking next Monday. Don’t forget that the Hon. W. E. .Smith will speak in Dawson on next Monday, the 14fh instant. We see it announced in some of the papers that Judge Vason, of Albany, and Hon. H. G. Turner, of Quitman, will also be present and deliver addresses on that day. Let every one that can come ont and hear these gentlemen. They are all good speakers and, no doubt, will givejus something worth hearing. ♦ ■— Tlie Albany Fair. The first fall fair of the Southwest Georgia Association commences at Al bany on next Tuesday, and will contin ue five days. From the newspapers of the place, and from other sources, we learn that the preparations for the occa j sion are complete and extensive, and a brilliant success is anticipated. Many horses are already on the ground, in training for the races, and many more | are expected. There will be something | on hand to amuse, interest and instruct I visitors all the time. We presume that I many visitors will go down from Ter- I rell county. Trade dollars and Mexican dallars are worth only ninety cents each. Houston county held a fair at Perry, last week. They say it was a success. Colorado hold an election last week an 1 went radical all through. They gained one member of Congress. The Wesleyan Advocate, of Maeon, fires off three wide columns at those three hundred Atlanta people who re cently went on an excursion to Savan nah, on the holy Sabbath day. The Democratic party in the fourth district seems to be in a bad way. There are three candidates in the field, —Harris, Persons and Moses. Some radicals will probably beat them all. Who are Making Money. In spite of the acknowledged bard times, some persons are making money. We find them in city and country. They are getting along undeniably in town and getting along well. A few years ago, they were hardly known—some of them—or else found in very humble ways. Now they do a thriving business and have no time or occasion to com plain of monetary stringency. On week days you will find th ur stores comfort ably filled with customers. On Satur day nights the jam of purchasers is im mense. These merchants invest in city property, railway and other securities, showing that the possession of surplus hard cash is theirs. Now what is the secret of this success in the midst of hard times ? If it is not a wise thrift, added to mercantile sense, we are at a loss to conjecture. These men are not miserly. They do not meanly hoard what they have gained. They and their families enjoy themselves rationally and live in proper comfort. Rut, for all that, they do not waste any substance and are always doing better from year to year. In the country there are farmers who live in a substantial manner, keep out of debt, and contrive to be independent in their affairs. They, too, will be found, on examination, to be, like the prosper ous city men, full of thrift. Nothing is squandered, neither time nor money. System rules in the field and in the household. The crops are so adjusted as to make the land produce much that is actually needed and to prevent going abroad for what can be made at home. Interest, that remorseless tyrant, is saved by non-contraction of debts. Corn, fodder, oats, wheat, millet, grass es, stock are all raised as well as cot ton. There is a disposition for all in the family to pull together industrious ly instead of pulling against one anoth er. These farmers are doing well, liv ing happily, relishing life, making their homes joyful, educating their children, beautifying their domain and adding much to the common fund of whatever makes this existence tolerable. Whether in town or country, it will be found that the man of thrift is the man who rises superior to hard times and takes advantage of them. Of course, there are other men who, by remarka ble inventive powers, or by inheritance, or by superior cunning, or by daring adventure, or by a genius for grand finance, or by corruption, have money in abundance and regard the world as their oyster. Rut these are exceptional ; eases and very often their careers end | badly. We speak of the average of mankind, who have to earn their bread by exertion in a common wfty. Their lives may have no startling changes, but their quiet courses are frequently and almost invariably the more solid and worthy bccanse of an avoidance of extremes. The men who prosper are men of thrift, and, without thrift they who are now at the base of the moun tain, or slowly toiling midway, will fail to reach the ton—that top which is nev- : er crowded and where there is always ; room for the deserving and persistent. —Augusta Evening ATcu's. The Memphis Avalanche , has this suggestive paragraph : “One of the rich n.en of Memphis, who is now ab sent as a matter of course, left a white and colored woman in charge of his pri vate house. The white woman got sick, and when this rich man of Mem phis heard of that fact, he sent a letter to the cohired woman as follows : “Send the white woman to the hospital. Don’t use any of the sweet nnlk : don't use any of the eggs or chickens, but help yourself outside.” That last express ion undoubtedly means go to the How ards or the relief committee. Comment is unnecessary. That rich man’s name has been filed away in our private ar chives, and if we live the day may coinc possibly when we can resurrect the in famous scoundrel.” Driving a Miii’Stor From His Pulpit. The sermon of the Rev. Mr. McEn tyre was summarily closed last night at Mount Baird church, five miles north of Dallas, by General Chenewith, who, walking up in front of the pulpit, cursed the minister outrageously. An effort was made to eject General Chenewith, which he successfully resisted by draw ing a large knife and threatening to kill any one who attempted to lay hands on him. The Rev. Mr McEn tyre was rushed out of the church dur ing the confusion that ensued, and, sur rounded by bis friends, was escorted home. Some hours later, while Mr. McEntyre was preparing to retire to bed, three shots were fired at him through his bedroom window, none, fortunately, taking effect. There were four men in the firing party. The disgraceful proceedings grew out of Mr. McKntyre's refusing to per mit the Rev. Mr. Byless of the same denomination to preach in the church. Byless is a recusant Episcopal minister, who, after doing missionary services in Australia, India, and China, came to Texas and embraced the Cambellite faith. Mr. McEntyre believes there is no salvation except through orthodox Cambelliteism. It is alleged that he refused Byless the use of the church because the recusant’s parents having died Episcopalians, they were resting in hell. Chenewith espoused the cause of Byless with the above result.—Gal veston News. Romantic Marriage. On Sunday night last while en route to church Mr. Joseph W. Harrell and M iss Cora Hawes, both of this place, j concluded to get married. The Ordi nary, who is very obliging in such cas es, was soon found, issued the license and took them in his buggy to find a preacher. Dr. Thornton was first call ed upon but not being at home the par ty sought Rev. J. T. Lowe, who was found at the Masonic College. After ascertaining that everything was all right and that there was no obstacle in the way of their marrying, Mr. Lowe firoceeded to unite them in the holy muds of matrimony. Afterwards Mr. Harrell and his bride took rooms at the Lumpkin Hotel where they remain ed until the next day when Ilis Honor Judge Hawes, invited his new and un expected son-in-law home with him. The contracting parties are both quite young and the announcement of their marriage on Monday morning created quite a flutter of excitement in our usually quite village. We trust that their married life may be a long and happy one. —Lumpkin Jndependent. A remarkable case of death from re morse for a deed of exceptional cruelty to animals is reported from Denmark. A family well known in Copenhagen had long been in the habit of passing their Sundays in one of the parks near the city, taking with them a sou seven years old. A few Sundays ago the little fellow, unnoticed by bis parents, discovered an unusually large toad and amused him self by torturing it in various ways, finally plunging a sharp stick through its body and so fastening it to the ground. Tjie next Sunday the family again visited the park, and the boy, remem bering liis sport of the previous week, went in search of more toads, lie found the animal lie had so cruelly us ed still pinned to the ground, and still alive. As lie approached, the poor thing looked at him, its immense eyes distended with pain and suffering The child was terror-stricken at the sight, and ran crying to his mother, to tell her what he had done. He was taken home in a great state of excitement and put to bed, where he remained for three days in a burning fever, which ended in his death. Just before he died he declared that wherever he looked he saw the plead ing eyes of the poor toad and begged to have it taken away. An open winter is not followed by a cool summer, as many suppose ; on the contrary, a cool suimnej usually fol lows a severely cold winter, and a very warm summer succeeds a mild w'nter, as we now see. A severe winter leaves the mountains heavily capped with ice and snow to cool the breezes during the succeeding summer months, while an open winter leaves the mountain tops bare and the winds are therefore much less cooling. Four flat ears and one hundred and fifty six hales of cotton were consumed by fire on the Central Railroad, between 31aeon and Savannah, last week.
