Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1.—The
electoral ot Georgia is |prob.ibly
lost to Hancock atm English for the
following reason: The revised stat
utes of tho United Slates provide
in flection 135 tlitit the electoral
col leges of the several States s all
meet on tho first Wednesday in
1 )cccmber and ctiRt their vote. The
Georgia code, section 1312, provides
that the Governor shall notify the
electors to moot at tho capitol on
the first Monday in December,to
to lie ready on Wednesday follow
ing to cast their vote. This the
Governor has done bqt the electors
have not met to-day or voted ,und
it is thought by leading officials
and lawyers here that they have no
right to meet and vote next
Wednesday.
All over the room he searched in vajn;
There was no more to llud;
There was no sign of sordid gain,
No passing drops from a golden rain,—
Only tho wealth of the sleepers brain.

Since the lost term of our court, it

Johnson. Death loves a shining

mourn our friend we bow our lieadh
in humility to those decrees which
emanate, from an all seeing power
Judge Johnson has during a long
life, filled many Ligh places of In nor
and trust, and we have never heard
even a suspicion breathed against
him of impurity or official miscon
duct, nor a reproach on his honesty
of rm poBe or purity of iutentions.
In all the relations of life, ho ever
maintained a pure and spotless char
acter, he was emphatically speaking,
a good, a true and-an honest man.
Judge Johnson was a man wo had
(ill teamed to love and to honor for
his manly virtues and sterling integ
rity. In his death Washington
Ccu ity has lost one, who was ulway
reudy to aid every movement for the
advancement of its best interests.

The democrat party is not dying
out very rapjdly. Tilden’s vote wus
4,284,204, and Hancock’s 4,430,014.
The democrat parry is, therefore,

votes. And this, too, iu the face of
the fact that a full democratic! vote
was not polled in Georgia aud most
of tfie other southern states.
