Thk death of Jumbo does not seem to have in terfered with the circus business in South Carolina. A dispatch says: "We went to the circus at Ashe- vrille this morning, and it was good. The crowd was most interesting. Rome citizens came on bull back and others vchicnlated in sleds drawn by spiked steer teams. Five counties were drained, and it was a touching spectacle to see women with children at the breast, after asking their hus bands for a chaw,expectorate tobacco juice with un paralleled accuracy of aim." Wx have always said that "Cump” Khertnan had enjoyed more rank and pay for leas fighting than any dead or living soldier. His home paper takes a similar view of the situation. The Globe-Democrat says: "Gen. Sherman says, in au interview in the Republican, that he ‘would rather have written Mr. Lincoln's first inaugural than to have won a victo ry.’ Whi.'h leads us to inquire when and upon what oecsiou did Geu. Sherman experience the sen- nation incident to the winning of a victory! It must have been before the battle of Hhlloh or since the surrender of the Confederate army. Tux xon of his pa is a promising candidate for the Virginia penitentiary, as may bo reen by this ex tract from a Petersburg paper: "Butler Mabonc, son of Senator Mahone, John Williamson and Charles Belcher overpowered officer Edwards, of the police force, last night and took his pistol and club from him. Mahone shot at Edwards with his (Edwards's) own pistol, but did no harm. The parties were ,nul>- Hequeutly arrested, and this morning were brought before the mayor, lmt at the request of Mahone the trial of the case was postponed until Saturday. Each of them was admitted to bail in the sum of $1,000." A Washington dispatch to the Bun says: "On the President's return from the Adirondack mountains he found awaiting him at the White House the fol lowing letter from Mrs. Helen Hunt Jacksou, the well Known authoress ‘H. H.,’ an advocate of Indian rights, which was written by her four clays before ber death. August 12,1886: *To Gkoykr Clevkland, Pukhihknt or tux United Status—Dean Siu: From my death-bed I send you message of heartfelt thanks for what you have already done for the In dians. I ask you to read my ‘Century of Dishonor.’ I am dying happier for the belief I have that it is your hand that is destined to rftrike the first steady blow toward lifting this burden of infamy from our country, and righting the wrongs of the Indian race. With miqiect aud gratitude, Hxlkn Jackson. “ 'August 8, 1885.’ ” Mr. Holland, of Texas, who shot a New York Mbarp about some counterfeit money, stands well with his church and people at home, as these reso lutions nbow: ‘‘Whereas, as Mr. James T. Holland, of Abeline, Texas, formerly a resident and citizeu of this town (Jewett) and county (Leon) is now con fined in the Tombs of New York city on a charge of murder; aud, whereas, numerous reports and state ments have been widely circulated in some paper* that Mr. Holland is a feckless, desperate and law less chancier, capable of committing any kind of < crime; therefore be it resolved, that we, the Mis- . ftionary Baptist church of Jewett, while we do not propose to pnsa npob the guilt aud innocence of Mr. Holland in the matter of which he stands charged iu the courts of New York, yet we willingly and cheerfully state that having known Mr. J. T. Holland long and intimately, his every relation of life sustained in our midst was that of a worthy, law abiding citizen and an honomble man; aud, judging him as we judge all men that, from bis for mer standing and relation he bore among us, we would unhesitatingly state that he is incapable of wanton, reckless violation of law aud order. Done by order of church in conference, Heptember 25th, 1885." Tux love of a boy for his dog surpasses the affec tion supposed to have existed between Mary and the lamb. This from the Savannah Times will touch the heart of all: "A small dog of the skyc terrier species bit a son of a resident of Hunting don street Monday. It was determined to kill the dog, and two members of the family were detailed to execute the canine. The commission was not a pleasant one, as affection and doty alternated with them. They loved the dog, but they thought it was their duty to kill him. They cotdd not shoot him, and the family could not bear to see him killed on the premises, so sll hide the animal an affectionate good-bye, and bis executioners left the house with team and took the dog with them. They took him to a pond by the baseball park and sat down on the damp ground and cried. One of the boys would affectionately hug the dog while the other would demonstratively attest his grief. Finally they cum- moned up coumgs, tied a rope about his neck, and freighted with a large stone, they launched the dog in thn water. They then ran away crying and without looking back. When they reached home and reported all cried, and the entire family be wailed the necessity that caused them to sacrifice their canine pet Ohio will be heard from in a few days. A special to the Washington Star gives this account of the campaign: "The campaign has been quietly con ducted, the still hunt tactics haring been very close ly observed by both parties up to about a week ago, when Senator Sherman thrust out more rigorotuljr than heretofore, and commenced forcing the fight ing. It is plainly manifest that the plan of cam paign adopted by the Democrats, and on which they hoped to continue the fight namely, that of annoying the Republicans on the temperance question, is from this time on to be seriously in terrupted by the sudden springing of the tariff quesiou by Senator Sherman, who will be followed by such speakers as Major Me- Kinlsy, General Grosvenor, Honorable A. L- Morrison, of Chicago, and Geueral Heaver, of Pennsylvania. Hits move is like pull- iug out a new deck of cards on the Democratic man agers, as they am not prepared for this new turn in the campaign, whereas the Republicans have their tariff literature already out. The refusal of Governor Hoadly to go on the track with Foraker without Dr. Leonard is criticised in a cautious manner by many of bis party friends, who claim that it places Hoadly on the defensive. Both parties are thoroughly or ganised, although the Republicans arc probably the more thoroughly disciplined of the two, but the Democrats seem to have the biggest "bar'l." While it la quite too early to make a prediction, it ia evi dent that if the election were to be held to-morrow Hoadly would be defeated. Tbs Legislative ticket, however, would be very close. Hon. AUsn O. Thur man has consented to make three speeches—one at Toledo, one at Fremont and out at Loudon villa. The Telegraph’s New Km. To-day thin journal enters upon a new era. Two years of unparalleled prosperity, the growth of Macon, the increase of our territory and the demands of our patrons render necessary changes, l>oth in the ar rangement and publication of the paper. The Trleobaph to-dny appears in new dress and enlarged. Its type is new, col umns wiiler and longer. We are able now to meet the extraordinary pressure upon both the news and advertising columns. A prominent feature of the new' era is a Monthly morning paper, which will be fnrnished to subscribers with out additional cost, and will contain the news of the hour from all parts of the world. This Monday paper will be in creased in size as business demands. One change in our journal is not shown by this issue. In two or three days our folding machine, which lias been delayed upon the road, will he attached to our press, and subscribers will receive their papers neatly cut, folded, pasted, and brimming full of the latest news. Another change re lates chiefly to the weekly edition, which pat sea up from eight to twelve pages. Every subscriber wiii be benefited by the new order. We desire to call especial attention to our Atlanta department. This was established to meet the requirements of both subscri bers and advertisers throughout the coun try and in Atlanta. We began with an oc casional correspondent. To-day we find it necesssry to maintain four salaried meti in the capital city: Mr. H. C. Peeples, Supreme Court reporter, Mr. C. A. Niles and Mr. Smith Clayton, special reporters, and Mr. C. T. Slider, bus iness agent. Of the work of these men nothing need he said. It is seen daily in these columns aud we believe appreciated in every section of the State. Nothing so strikingly illustrates the growth of the Tel egraph us it« Atlanta department, which is strictly the result of a firm demand. Hut the grow tli of the paper has been even remarkable in all its depart ments. Four years ago, when it pass ed into the hands of its present owners, it was without material suf ficient to print a respectable looking issue. It had little or no new’s service within the State, was in debt and the subscription list was small. To-day its facilities for gather ing news are unsurpassed, its material is all new and first-class, its subscription list extensive and it owes not a dollar. There is not a share of its stock that cun he pur chased in the market. While we do attribute this remarkable success in a measure to the industry and energy brought to hoar in conducting it, we recognize the fact that the Telegraph really llnstrntes the growth of Macon and its trib utary sections. The paper reaches every town in Georgia that has a daily mail, upon the day of its publication. It goes out of Atlanta on the early morning trains into all North Georgia, and crosses tho borders of surrounding States in every direction. It has become of especial service to the upper section of the State by reason of its excellent Capital news, the Legislative reports and decisions of the Supreme Court. But one element in the marked success of the paper is its cleanliness. It is essen tially the family breakfast table puper of Georgiu, patronized by the best people of all classes, which is after all the source of potent public opinion, and the purchasing power of society. These are the people we seek to serve. These are the peoplo we have found supporting us. For these rea sons the paper has been strong both ns voicing the announcements of advertisers and bringing home for digestion the best thought that can be gathered upon public questions. There will be no variance, no change, no faltering iu the course of the Telegraph. It will he found nlways supporting Demo cratic principles, and laboring for the good of the party. As its life is not hounded by a brief yesterday, its ideas are not limited to to-day. It looks to the future as well ns the present. Its judgment lias been oftener right than wrong. Strong in the purity of its principles, un swayed by rings,’corporations or politicians, fearing no power, devoted to the interests of Macon, of Middle Georgia and of Geor gia in all its broad extent, the friend of lib eral thinkers, the friend of progressive fac tors, the friend of justice, the advocate of honest methods and the enemy of ringstem, the Telegraph enters upon the new era. It asks only such support os it deserves. The Fending Railroad Hill. Public sentiment in this State will center in the House of Kepresentatives during the delsitc upon this important measure. While it was being discussed in the Senate it was made plain that its opponents could not justify their positions, upon the grounds of either j ustice or public policy. The puer ile arguments offered against its passage merited, as they received the contempt of all intelligent, fair-minded men, and be yond the borders of the State created an un favorable impression touching the wisdom and justice of our law-makers. While these men were seeking to prevent the passage of a law, which nt best is n poor measure of relief to our railroads, and at last subjects to extreme hazard the large and legitimate investments in this es sential property, the projectors of other and needed lines were appealing to outside cap ital for their construction. It is needless to state that these appeals are made in vain so long os the present law is enforced. Men of capital ore almost universally inen of in telligence. They realize that what they hold and control is necessary to the devel opment of every section of this country, and especially so of the Bouth. While the members of the Georgia Legislature may suppose that they can regulate the invest ment of money in this State, every man who, from the necessities of private oi pub lic business, has had occasion to negotiate loons, lias learned that in securing favorable result 4 it is necessary to present a clean record for honesty, with positive assurance of certain j tracted to Atlanta, and we learn that within a day or two an Atlanta hoy has been caught in the act of throwing ajrotten tomato at a Chinaman. If the Chinaman was merely washing clothes, this act was thoughtless perhaps, but still unpardonable. But there may have been just cause for the violence of the young Atlantese. It will he recall*, d that s >me months since, a young Atlanta hoy was missed from his home on a Sunday. When found the “special correspondent” telegraphed that the hoy had been enticed into an opium joint, in Atlanta, kept by Chinese and kept there for some time. This rotten tomato business may he the sequel to that escapade. The Atlanta boy may have been seeking revenge, but he ought to have had a rotten tomato for the “special cofrespondent.” “Camp** ami “Mac." Every one knows “Cump” Sherman. Some of the people of to-day do not know that Mr. McCullagh, at present editor of the St. Louis Glohe-Deiuocrat, was a re nowned correspondent who wrote over the signature of “Mac.” Since the appearance of the Halstead let ter “Cump” lias been saying some linpleas- ant and uncomplimentary things of war correspondents, referring especially to ‘ ‘Mac. ” ‘ ‘Mac” comes back in these words: There in nothing to nay. It in a lie! That’) It in a lie. Sherman in a privileged character, aaya what he plcanea. No one can nay anything againnt him. He in a garrulous old fool, aud goes around making annertions concerning thing* he know* nothing about. Because Sherman tells lies, talks about things of which he is ignorant, and is a “garrulous old fool” should not give him an immunity from criticism or proper punish ment. Such things are “unbecoming an officer and a gentleman,” and Secretary Endicott should exert his authority to abate this very offensive nuisance. “Cump” in consideration of the fact, that he draws pay for no service, should he made to stay at koine, and to cease to anuoy honest and respectable citizens. III! Hit There. The Greenville News says: Spartanburg anpiren to bo tho Atlanta of thin State. Sho will never achieve hor ambition unlenn *be nendn away mont of her present banking capital and acquires a few leading citizens like Hi Kimball. Wo hope for ber sake, and tho State’s sake, she never Will. This suggests an inquiry as to the where abouts of Kim. His organ has been as si lent as a milepost about him for some time, and there has been no slabbering over him. It has been n source of surprise to some and disappointment to others, that Kim has not been offered a little guljematorial boom. Since the report that General Toombs used uncomplimentary and harsh language to him, this great developer has been obscured from public attention.

The difficulty mentioned in noon overcome, however, and the pa per* leaving on thi* traiu will be in future an perfect an the other*. The Evangelists of the North do not run along as * moodily as Sam Jones and other*. The New York Tribune gives this account of a hot baptising down on Staten Inland: “The Rev. Mr. Bott delivered a nermon with his usual eloquence and even hin most bitter enemy did not fsil to find it interesting. But the trouble began when the baptismal service was announced. Joseph Romer wan dewtrons of Wing immented. Some of the congregation said that he should not be baptised; other* declared that if he was. Brother Bott should have nothing to do with it. But Brother Bott was determined to make preparations to perform the ceremony. But words aud angry gestures followed and at one time it looked as if blow* would follow, liig boys and littlo boys in the back part of the church made cat calls. A policeman was hastily summoned, and his premmes prevented serious trouble. When Sexton Harvey went out to the well outside of tho church to turn tha water into the baptistry, a yell and a splash followed. Sexton Harvy was found in the well. Ho could n. * Uri: .hath er or not some of the opposition b«d maliciously pushed him in. Some one put a ladder down the well to help him out The ladder bit him a terrible blow on the head. No one could tell whether or not the enemy did It. After the sexton had been fished up the tank would not fill with water. It was discover ed that there was a light under the baptistry; some one peered under there and saw two persona, one on his bands and knees holding a lamp, and another on his back working an auger with which he was boring holes In the bottom of the tank, through which the wafer soon poured. Then draff promptly whenever a convict escaped. *° m * 006 * *** “d whole congregation rushed out. The timing outside set up a shout, ‘Who stole the water?’ 'Who bored the holes?* While the melee was greatest Pastor Bott started singing. There is a fountain filled with blood.’ Aud then the service was resumed. After it was over he sarcastically remarked that *if Jesus Christ were to come to this pulpit. 1 believe that some of this people would crucify and kill him. 1 Last night a meeting called by Deacon Turner was held with closed doors. None of the pestoFe friends were present The deacons and the anti Bott people decided to meet again next Monday night at Deacon Turner’s house." upon capital must be certain before it can be controlled. It is not sufficient to secure the money that we must have, in order to our develop ment,to indulge in flattering promises, puli-' lished or spoken, of safety to principal and certainty as to returns upon it. In the face of such a law as now encumbers and par alyzes all effort at railroad building iu Geor gia, and the spirit of a people that through its continuance are threatening the destruc tion of all property rights, men who have money and are anxious to lend it, refuse the assistance that is vital to us, and which they would gladly extend if they could do so in safety. It is know n that recently there was of fered for sale a small issue of six per cent, bonds, to secure the payment of which property costing in cash three times the amount of issne, and which is steadily pro ductive, was pledged to their redemption. The party offering them was told by a banker in New York that the rate oi interest was tempting, but that New York banks w’ero afraid of Southern securities generally, and especially of those from Georgia. Why this mistrust of the South? Why should capital be more afraid of in vestment in Georgia than other Southern States? We are not left to conjec ture so faj as Georgia is concerned, as the reason was assigned that capital was afraid of any State that had shown itself capuble of such a law as ♦he one under which our Bail road Commission, with su preme power, exists. The energies of the inen upon whom this State depends for development and advance ment are paralyzed by the feeling of suspi cion and mistrust of our people entertained by capitalists. They are dumb in the pres ence of those who know the facts, and arraign w ithout mercy every citizen respon sible for them. What has Georgia to expect from tho men who are opposing the passage of a bill which, as we have said, is at best a poor measure of relief to onr railroads. Look at them. Who are they? Have they built any rail roads in the past ? Will they build any in the future? If the Legislature submits"the policy of the State touching one of its greatest interests to them, will the people also look to them for future development, and are they willing to wait for that devel opment until it comes through them ? They proceed upon the idea that utter ig norance of the wants and necessities of the State, and of the only methods through which they can be promoted, are first con ditions iu the qualification of those who are to shape public policy in reference to these questions. They believe that capital can and will he tempted to investment here under promises that have no guarantee in good judgment or good faith. Wo have reached the point when this de lusion should V»e dispelled. There are men in Georgia whom capitalists are willing to trust, but they are afraid of investments, the safety of which depends upon the ca price of a people capable of our present railroad law*, and who, after the experience of vears demonstrating its injustice and bad policy, refuse to change it. If this measure fails, every intelligent and patriotic citizen of the State may well fear the effect upon our future. The Power of the Convict King. Information ns to the escapes from the penitentiary and executive action there upon was literally corkscrewed out of the executive, and the process was prolonged nnd painful. And then it is far from satisfactory. Nobody knows what was done about the matter during Colquitt’s term, but since the death of Mr. Stephens there have been seventy-two escapes. The lessees made ex cuse for sixty-seven, and the Governor allowed forty of these to he good and suf ficient. He claims that the Attorney-Gen eral assisted him in this work. The im pression prevails that it is the duty of the Attorney-General to furnish the Governor with opinions upon constitutional and stnt utory law. The duty of looking after es caped convicts should not lie put upon the law officer. The case, as made by the Governor, ought to demand further legisla tion. A system is very faulty which per mits seventy-two escapes in a short period. With proper and sufficient guards there should be no escapes. Out of the twenty-seven escapes held to bo sub ject to the penalty of two hundred dollars, nine are yet unsettled. The convict lessees of Penitentiary No. 2 are going to test the law or to tight for time, and time is money. The curious point about this business is that the convict ring has been sufficiently powerful to keep this matter from the pub lic, and it appears that nothing was done an til the authorities were waked up by a resolution of inquiry and the prodilings of the press. This will not and should not help to commend the system to popular fa vor. The sagacity of Joo Brown sticks out in this business. He put up his two hnn- Wise man. He knew that a day of reckon ing would come along, and he wanted the block hole to stand square on the record. Considering the frequency of escapes, and the facility for avoiding the penalty thereto^ it would seem thut the penalty should be increased. At the present figure, a man con get out of the penitentiary for two hundred dollars. It might l>e a money-making business, to turn out the aged, weak and infirm, who have to be fed and clothed ami who cannot perform remunerative labor. The time of the session is growing short, but not t4>o short, we trust, for a searching look into this business. The Chlnene Must Go. This cry raised on the Pacific slope, where the sandlotter and hoodlum have amused themselves by cutting off the pig-tails of the Celestials, luw had its echo in the mines in Wyoming. Hundreds of Chinese miners liAve been killed and wounded, and the United States trooim sent there to preserve life and protect property have been over awed by the mob. The matter has become a subject of serious correspondence between the two government. Some one has said that the thrift and industry shown by the Chinese have brought down these troubles upon them, rather than the vicious practices with which they are charged. The Chinamen laboring as miners were entitled to do the work and receive the pay for which they had been employed, and the cruelties inflicted upon them cannot be justified.

The population of lloxton, according to the State census, will be nbout 380,000, As thix gives nn annual dentil rate of 20 per thousand, it is contended thnt the figures are too low, and that the enumeration was miule while thousands of the inhabitants were ont of town. A Spiunofield (Mass.) school teacher found that some of the eandidetes for ad mission to the high school in that city were very phonetic in their spelling. Thus, she encountered such combinations of letters as “etiket," “petaphoger,” “veacle," “phys- ick, ” and others that show originality. The romance of gold-mining is not yet exhausted. A beautiful gold nugget, worth $325, was found the other day in Tula Can yon, on the east side of the Inyo mountains. But to search for such a lump of the sterling stuff is like looking for a needle in the great haystack of hills. Col, “I’at” Donah, of Dakota, who is in New York, said to n reporter the other day: “Wo can accommodate 10,000 girls with husbands in Dakota on ninety days' notice. We have published in the Fargo Argus 2,000 letters from ns many young women, and have made many matches. In May, 1880, there was only one marriageable girl in Fargo, and to-day, with n population of 12,000, we have only four unmarried girls. In Dendwood, nt the height of its mining fever in 1870-80, there were 5,000 bachelors nnd only six marriageable girls.” The wife of a wealthy Bostonian being troubled with a somewhat obscure disease, wished to learn the opinion of tho greatest living authority in regard to it. The skill ful doctor who attended her said thnt Dr. Keith, of London, was the man. He was accordingly asked to name the sum which he would charge for coming over here consult with the attending physician. The reply came that he would accept $10, (XH). His offer was accepted; he arrived and spent half nn hour or more in seeing the patient aud consulting with her medical adviser. The result was that the Boston doctor's diagnosis nnd treatment of the case wore confirmed by the great London authority, who took the next steamer for home with a fee which would be a fortune to the average practitioner. One sometimes sees a drunken man pitched violently from a horse, nnd when the by standers rush to the spot, expecting to find him dead, they are astonished to discover thnt he has been little injured. In his “.Scrambles Among the High Alps,” Leslie Stephen tells the story of a guide who, while drunk, fell over a precipice so deep thnt a fall over it seemed almost a certain death, and who yet sustained little injury. Stephen accordingly gives his rentiers the advice either not to fall over a precipice, or to got thoroughly drunk before doing so. The reason of this immunity is thnt the nerve centres nre so paralyzed in the drunk en man ns not to be affected by tho shock of tlie fall, which, in n sober man, would have noted upon them so violently as to stop the heart, arrest the circulation, and cuuse in stant death.
