10 THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13,1885.—TWELVE PAGES. A so-called account of a memorable duel at Charleston before the war, as published by the Augusta News, has Mr. Taber shot through the heart by Mr. Magrath. He was shot in the head. Says the Philadelphia Record: “After the YAntic unloaded her silver cargo at Washington she was promptly run aground. The idea undoubtedly is that ever}- tub shall stand on its own bottom." Tbb Sultan of Turkey has composed a piece of mnsic for his band. Our informa tion is tbaLthe Sultan will soon hear more music than he wants. He should compose himself and dismiss the bnnd. The Cincinnati Enquirer and the Com mercial Gazette do not necessarily prove that journalism is demoralizing. They sim ply illustrate the fact that blackguards can be found in the newspaper business. John I.ogan has been waving the bloody shirt over at Baltimore in execrable Eng lish. But for the locality one would sup pose from the spirit and language, one of l)r. Felton's drones had been attacking the railroad bill. The unequal conflict between the Georgia farmer and his gin continues. Despite the -valor of our husbandmen they are fre quently disarmed, for however patient a gin may be, and hard to provoke into a fight, it means business w hen it takes a hand in it. “I tell .yon, my friends," said a Republi can orator in Franklin county, Virginia, the other day, “things are rotten in this State.” Just then an ancient egg took him in the burr of the left ear and frescoed the whole western slope of his classic brow. He sat ■down with great enthusiasm. The Mugwump's postmaster of New York is not doing so well. The Sun says: ■“There is great complaint about the post- ofiicc in this city. It seems pretty plain that Postmaster Pearson ought to be dis missed. When that is done a competent Democrat should be appointed.” It was the lower House of the Georgia Xcgislatnre that passed a bill to tax base ball at the rate of $'i"> per game. To com plete this enlightened piece of legislation, .the Senate should amend the bill so as to apply the fund derived to the further pro tection of the sheep-killing dog. An Ohio colored man made a speech in Cleveland the other night, in which he said: “I have taught school in several .Southern States, and I will say that the ex rebels used me as well as the school boards in Ohio. The bloody shirt argument is a fraud. I have been in the South and I -know it is false," The Virginia campaign is beginning to get lively. One statesman has been floored with a pitcher. Another woa persuaded to shut off his eloquence by a shower of an cient eggs. A Mahone man called a gen tleman a liar and was promptly knocked down, os is the usual result in such cases sonth of the Potomac. Let Us Have Home or This In Georgia. i him.

There is no denial, it will be observed, that one faction has been clothed with all will attend and help push forward this important project. Macon needs the new road.

So that we have the kind of govern ment that the constitution requires—a gov ernment of the people, based on the will of the majority—it is of little moment what pony may he in power." Tn* Newark News very kindly remarks: “The Macon (Go.) Tn.Z'iruru, one of the best and most enterprising papers in the South, appears in a new dress, improved and enlarged. Dnring the four yean in which it has been in the hand- of its pres ent owners, it bas grown steadily in influ ence nnd circulation, and it bus well de served its success." Attobhey-Gexebal Garland nays: have hut one single complaint to make against the newspapen since I became attorney-general. Some of the papen ac cused me of wearing a swallow-tailed coat upon a certain occasion. Now I was never guilty of anything of the kind in my life, and I feel hurt at the accusation. All the -other charges that have been made against me by the press are not worth noticing. brave words. It will be to the interest of Louisiana, if he shall make them good. The situation in Georgia is similar in some re spects to that of Louisiana, but with this notable exception. It is claimed that his action in Louisiana has been directed to the destruction of a political ring composed of Democrats for revenue only nnd black and white Republi cans. In Georgia every Federal office so far has been bestowed npon the sup porter or creature of just such a ring. The major and respectable portion of the Demo cratic party of the State has in no single in stance met the recognition of Mr. Cleve land or any of his cabinet, save in the case of General Lawton. We do not know that there are applicants for official positions from this class. The certainty that Brown and Colqnitt nnd most of the Congressional delegation would oppose such applications, were n suf ficient bar. But the administration rather prides itself upon the fact that it ignores office-seekers and Beeks the best men for recognition. It lms signally foiled to illustrate this in Georgia. The fact is, that immediately after inauguration. Brown and Colqnitt rush- forwnrd to secure pluces for their hench men and poor kin, not with a view to the betterment of the public service or the strengthening of the Democratic party, bat with the single idea of prolonging their own power nnd official terms. It is donbtfnl if the l’resldent knows of the sitnution here. Some of his cabinet officers do, hut they have yielded to the force or persuasion brought to bear by the two Senators named. The collectorship of intend revenue and the luarahalship with their rich patronage were given in such a way as to best promote the political fortunes of Brown and Col quitt. There ore pending applications for other positions which, if successful, may be placed in the same category. The ring here has been strengthened by Federal power nnd patronage, and given new held* in which to operate. The Louis iana appointments are said to be unexcep tionable in character and competency. This cannot be truthfully said of the ap pointments in Georgia. The two Senators are now heeled nnd hacked by retainers prepared to do active political service in behalf of the men who have obtained positions of honor and profit for them. These heelers will go actively to work personally and officially, in State and na tional politics, it the words if Mr. Cleve land as to Louisiana are not made good in Georgia. The administration may have been “de ceived and imposed upon" in other States, but it was mere child's play as compared to serious work tbst has been done here. Says the Philadelphia Press: “Queen Vic toria is angry with her Scotch subjects of Edinburgh because 'hey have failed to call her new son-in-law. Colonel Henry- Batten lierg, a “Boyal Highness.” The Scotch are not much to blame, however, for their in difference to Battenberg. The only time he ever put kilta on waa at a military re- ■view a few days ago, and the chilly air raised the goose flesh on his knees to an ex- -teut that required four applications of a hot (polishing iron to smooth it down. There is no. teal royal highness about a man so ten der as all that." The lull road lull, .As may be seen in our Legislative report, wssiiefeated, not receiving a constitutional majority in the Honse. There were several imembers aWnt, whether from accident or .design we are not at this writing informed. The debate has been thorough and not .alwaya in the best temper, and the means •Used to defeat the meusure, iu some cases, .cannot be justified. Perhaps a reconsideration may alter the reeult The best interests of the State de mand this. But in any event it has been demonstrated that tL- present commission Jaw, aa it stands and lias been operated, not satistsetory to the people. One branch -of the General Assembly hits so declared by a large majority and the other by a one. Thoae who have in the interests of justice and fair dealing desired a change in the law have no reason to be ashamed in their dis appointment Nothing can be surer, in the future, than that the people will compel of their representatives a change in legisla tion which has been tried and found to unjust and uiiotisfactorj. Hits Way, Mr. Vrealdrnt, IVe mention it merely as a matter of duty, but if it is really true that Grover Cleveland wonu to marry, he should come ont to Georgia and look about him before making selection elsewhere. The Georgia girl finely formed, straight, true os steel, tender hearted, and takes Iter beauty fresh from the hand of that kindly Nature which sur rounds her. When she weds she honors prince, potentate or private citizen, and whom she will, she weds. Heart-law with her is conclusive. We do not guarantee Grover a wife, it he journeys here in search of one; that is, we do not guarantee him a thoroughbred Georgia homespun girl. We simply pro pose to put him in the way to work out his own salvation. Honors, power and titles will avail him nothing, for the Georgia girl is not a Mugwump, flirting with first one party and then another, She follows her heart and sticketh closer than a brother. War cannot shake her off, pestilence dis turbs her not, misfortune but tightens her grip and poverty she laughs at The man who marries a typical Georgia girl, ami continues to be a man, has a wife for all eternity. This is the situation. If Grover is look ing for that kind of a girl let him come down and take his chances with private citizens; provfc to some girl that he Is man and capable of supporting a family and not only a man, hut a high-heeled one, and in the habit of looking straight ahead. Hi* political scrap book won't be of any service. Let him leave it. What this pa per said and that paper said don't count.

Let the door be opened. Mr. Cleveland amt rolitlcs. It is announced, and tlie recent work of the administration would seem to justify the announcement, that Mr. Cleveland is puying more attention to politics. This is proper. Mr. Cleveland's greatest weakness is his lack of knowledge ns to the politics of the several States and his nnfnmilinrity with politicians. This is the main reason why he hah been so often “de ceived and imposed" upon by politicians whose only ambition is to strengthen their holds upon positions by dividing ont patron age among their henchmen. The opportunities within the reach of Mr. Cleveland to inform himself are un- paralled, and if he will address himself to them be will, at the expense of some morti fication perhnpa, acquire some most useful and important information. ‘Well, I should say so," is the way nn excellent judge of jewelry, doing business on Douglas street, taado reply to an Omaha reporter the other day when asked whether or not there are any expensive gnrtent worn in Omaha. The question seemed to strike him like a morning cocktail, nnd he talked for one solid hour, giving the reporter what he called pointers—a Ktring of them longer than from Capitol Hill to Council Bluffs. 'I know a gentleman. ” he said, “who bas more money than some people have hay, who presented hi* wife not long since with pair of garters thnt cost him 200 hard, cold dollars. But these were very ordinary as compared with some others that conld be mentioned. There is a lady living in the No. 1 section of Dodge street who is the possessor of a pair that shook from her husband's pocketbook the neat little sum of $1,000. Don't believe it, eh? Well, you braced me for the information, and wlint I havo told you is the gospel truth, though it didn't conte from the Bible. There are plenty of women in Omaha wear ing garters that cost them nil the way from $6 to $50 a pair. For instance, there is a pair that we aell for $20,” and as the talka tive young man uttered these words he threw two black silk bonds down on the showcase and invited the scribe to examine them. “You may not believe me, but here ia another pair that goes at $150,” and the pencil-pusher toyed with the whole layout by dangling them in bis hands. The $25 pair was a very plain affair, on one end of each a large gold clasp ami on the other end a gold buckle. “This it where the high price comes in, ” said the dapper little jew eler, “and can't you see it is easy enough to set those clasps with diamond stones that would make them coat I1.00U? Those I told yon about a while ago are ornamented with a cluster of sparkles ingeniously set in the centre of each clasp.” The $150 pair shown had ono small stone solidly imbedded in the face centre of each buckle. The New York Hears. Letter to C'tocinnaU Enquirer. None of these men have ever taken hand in building nnything—the utmost of their investments has been in some breed ing-farm or race-track. They may have bought a yacht and sailed it. Their home* are in general around the hotels, where they delight to disseminate stories of this or that useful property going to pieces. For some time they have apparently had the greatest success. As they never bought any tiling, however, which anybody conld see with the naked eye, with their nefari ously earned money, their wealth had to be token by hearsay.
