The Macon Telegraph seems to have
closed out it r s stock of State politics.
Well, that’s right brother Lamar, if you
can’t stand up to the nominee of the
convention, talk about the Egyptian war.
The Macon Telegraph, in speaking
of our declaration for Hon. Geo. T.
Barnes for Senator, wishes to know if
his county would not prefer to “vindi
cate somebody. We can’t answer tnat
question, we know that the papers say
that Joe Brown has ordered Colquitt’s
election, which, if it should be accomp
lisbed, will prove the truth of the old
saying, ‘‘there’s 1 ut. a step from the
sublime to the ridiculous”—that is
from Hill to Colquitt.
In an interview in Washington, on
the 3d inst., Mr. Stephens ’informed a
correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu
tion that he would come directly home,
attend to his private business, and then
canva‘8 as much rf, the State as possible
before the election. Wc hope that
Waynesboro will be among his earliest
appointments, and suggest that our
leaders invite him to come down and
make ono of his old-fashioned Demo
cratic speeches.
Congress has adjourned at hist, after
one of the most barren and tedious sess
ions in the history of the country. Con
gress lias-done nothing during the whole
®e si n but squander th6 public money
and schetne -for the success • f party.
Now that it has adjourned, the whole
country will * reatlie easier. We have
before said, mid wc believe it to be true,
that if the masses of the people of the
whole corn-try,could know the full ex
tent of tho corruptions perpetrated by
the National Legislature, they would
rise en masse and throw the c'pitol in’o
the Potomac river.

We often see our items traveling with
out any credit to show from whenee
they came. But when we see our par
agraphs copied by a journal as careful as
we have usually thought the Atlanta
Constitution to be, and credit delibe
rately given to another, the case be
comes too bad. Now, brethren, it is
only fair that you should “give un’o
Caesar tho things which are Caesar’s'”
Colonel Buck, Chairman of the new
State Central Committee of the I epub-
lican party, received a semi-official dis
patch th't the National Committee
would recognize the State House wing
of the Convention as the regular conati-
tuted Convention. The Central Com
mittee has been organized as fol’ows :
E. A. Buck, Chairman; Pledger, Vice-
Chairman ; C’o'nnel Bryant, Secretary ;
and H. A. Ruck* r, A sistant Secretary.
Thus has the miserable white rene
gades received another and well deserv
ed rebuff. A Northern man may b“ a
Republican from principe, but when
we see a Southern man playing Radical,
we cannot help believing that it is
onlv for office, hut he is a hypocrite
all the same.
Guiteau’s miserable bigot wbo
occupies the Presidential ch.d , is
said to be very angry for the passage
of the River and Harbor bill 'WT his
veto. Of course, the anitnous »>f
Arthur’s opposition to the bill was
on account of the appropriations
made for Southern rivr-, etc. A dis
patch from Waehingt n, dated the
7th inst., says : »

Tuesday afternoon, about half-past
four o’clock, Moses Myrick, colored,
while engaged at his daily labors at the
Eagle and Phenix dye works, was ac-
c'dentally precipitated backwards into
a boiling kettle of dye, turning a com
plete summersault, and before he could
be rescued, was so badly scalded that
it is thought impossible for him to live,
the skin having slipped off from nearly
his entire body. Mr. Johnson, super

oouiinon field pea, except that it is in
every feature larger, and the pod, as the

We have no doubt that we m w have

35 inches in length, and Me believe that

as, twosthirds votes required that
members in the minority in cases of
pairing, be paired each with two of

th' t many member* recorded in the

the road to Redwood (Ji y, Califor ii,
her b iggy upset, her hors* runaway,
and her husband disabled by a lauie leg
and a broken arm, she was in a soro
quandary what to do. After a while a
man came driving by, and she begged
him to take herself and her husband to

hurry. Thereup n Mrs. Guizk w
snatched up her husband’s overcoat,
pulled out a revolver, seized the man’s
horse by the bit, leveled the shooting
iron at him, and threatened to put him
out of the necessity of ever keeping an
other engagement if he did not comply
with her request, he saw dead earnest in
her eye, weakc ei and took husband

ried to a girl whose family were opposed to the
match. Porter, who had been waiting on the
girl, and knowing the feelings of the parents,
took advantage of the situation and married the
girl himself. To get the marriage license he
borrowed money of Cruise, pretending to want
it for another purpose, and would return it at a
certain time, which he failed 1o do. Cruise laid
claim to Porter’s wife, using the argument that
he furnished the money to buy the license, and
that she had been his sweetheart and they were
to be married the day after she and Porter mar-
ried. At present it seems that Cruise is likely to
win, as he has Porter’s wife, who seems to be
hafpy with him.

people to-night. The match was for|500 a side

Shortly after tho opening of the Mechanics’
National Bank, No. 83, Wall street. New York, a
few days ago, a sharp explosion was heard is
one of the vaults. Investigation developed the
fact that during (.he night gas had escaped from
an unstopped burner, and when the clerk, whose
du;y it was to open the vaults, entered, the
lighted candle which he enrriod caused the ex
plosion. The clerk was thrown flat on his back,
and boxes, etc., were scattered in a lively man

$1,000 bill burned. The affair created some ex

they are subject to a fine of $50 for such offense.
Consequently they report a heavy loss every day
