Hue ill* Poeltton—His Grout Itoluo-

Wishes to Help Tumor.
[Special Telegram.]
Atlanta, Ga , August 30.—Tho poliUcal
situation here is by no means satisfactory.
Mr. Stephens is here, and, from the bost
advices, is as stubborn as osnal. This
morning he had a oonferenoe with ex-
Gov. Brown, Gov. Colqnitt, cx-Gov. Smith
and others. Ho waa urged to pat
himself where the Democratic party
oould support him. It is said that Brown
and Smith spoke very plainly upon Uio
necessity of tho situation. Mr. Btephons
ia disposed to diplomatize and avoid a
d irect issne. He is preparing a speech for
io-mortow night. JHis special friends say
it will be satisfactory, bnt of this there 'is
great doubt. Thera ia mnoh talk among
his friends abont drawing the party
lines and having a partisan governor—
suggestions which were repudiated before
the nominating convention. The execu
tive ooremittee was in session this after
noon, and will oonelude its session to-morj
row morning. They bavo decided on
nothing. Mr. Stephens dodges the
seventh and ninth distriots, avoids Speer
and Felton and desires to go to Maoon,
Americas, and Thomosville—to help Tur
ner. This U considered as greatly embar
rassing a situation already very grave. If
Ur. Stephens refuses to redeem the pledgee
made ia his behalf to assault Independent-
ism, his election is very nooertain, and if
at all by a majority so small ns to amount
to a defeat of the party. The beet opinion
is that a failure to meet Felton aud Speer
ia a oonfeesion of complicityjrith the Inde
pendents. Mr. Stephens is routed as in bad
temper at the failure of the Jeffersonians
to back 1dm up with campaign speeches.
The Republicans and Independents are
watching closely, and threaten to dieoloae
matter* whioh have not yet been made
publio. The speroh of to-morrow night
will give the key to tho situation. Those
of large faith oxpeet great things
from it. Mr. Btephons ia really too
fseble to sp6ak. Tnora is no enthusiasm
for him, and the greatest anxiety exists as
to the resnlt of his attempt to define his po
sition. Tho best opinion is thnt, if he fails
to make a sharp issue with Felton and
Speer, and goes to soathwost Georgia in
place of the seventh and ninth districts,
the dissensions in the party will grow wider.
At praeont the prospects of a satisfactory
adjustment are not good.

had shown Dorsey's connection with it and
the corruption whJoh characterized it. All
the other routes were initiated for the samo
criminal purpose, and oondneted through
their various stages by an infinite variety

which wsre forged, and by affidavits

Colonel.
"Mad lunatic," suggested one of the
crowd.
"Gentlemen and fellow-dsestrickers, are
you opposed to taxes? So am I, ’cause I
never had nothing to tax. Are you ’poted
to odication? I am, 'case I never had
none. Are you 'posed to high tariff and
low tariff? Bo am I, 'case Ibain’t got no
tariff articles. Are you 'posed to Independ

Hew th# Hauer naa Talked About In
Maeon. %
‘Our city oouneil slept over their righto,'
said a prominent Maoon business man
yosterday to our reporter, "when they al
lowed tho shops of the East Tennessee,
Virginia & Georgia railroad to be located
in Atlanta."
How so?” inquired our scribe.
"Well, they never should have permitted
hh. „
the road to go through the cemetery ex
eept on condition that the shops should be
placed here. The oouneil ought to have
bad toreoight enough to see th it. The
road would have complied, beeaoee the
officers saw well eoongh that Macon poe-
sweed every natural advantage end I be
lieve they wanted to put their shope here."
"Do you think the aetioo will affeet the
road hero among busiaeee men?"
"Of course U will. Our merchants want
ed another line for freight, knowing that
by competition4be rates would be reduced;
but they consider the matter in this light:
The Central has Its shops here and employ
an army of men. The wages of these men
aro sr*nt right here in Maoon, axnoug the
merchants whoM freight most be brought
here by one or the other roads. The Cen
tral will never allow the new road to rat
nnder in rates, aud having ita shops and
men here, offers an extra inducement for
mcrohxnts to continue to patronise it.”
'Then you regard it aa unwise step on
tho part of the new road to pot the shops
in Atlanta, and something lika e lack of
foresight on the part of our oouneil ?"
"Certainly l do. We have a fine board
of aldermen, but they le*. their evrdy drop
in this matter. As to th# road, I do con
sider it a bad step on their part to carry
the shore to Atlanta, after Macon has done
so much for the road. We made the Can*
lia'i pay a fancy pries for every foot of
ground on which their shops are built, and
yet we offered this new road all the ground
they wanted at any point they might releet,
free of all oo*L"
Tlie above shows how oar citizens talk
about the decision of the new road au
thorities to give Atlanta the shops.

what little votes he now has is emphatically
for help-immediate and vigorous help. Tlie
fact is now reoognizsd that somothingelse
besides "helping Turner" is necessary; but
what to doj Is a perplexing and delicate
problem for Mr. Stephens aud his sup
porters.
It is rumored that Col. Trammell and
other prominent men are In favor of draw
ing the oolor line, but I am iuformed that
Mr. Stephens will oppose this policy. What
to do in reference to the seventh and ninth
districts is a d Horn me. either horn of whloh
Mr. Stephens sorely fears will gore

He is evidently between the devil and deep

to no sort of oordialitr oxtering between
Mr. Stephens, Gov. Colquitt and Col.
Trammell. When Dr. Felton, in one
speech, drove Mr. Trammell from
