the rights of investors in railroads and the

and oppressive policy of the commission,
he is understood to have been a positive fac
tor in crystallizing and etiforciug that policy.

I cation. Why, in the face of this recoin-
! meudntion. Gov. Smith should have op-
I posed the changes in the law, during tin

The Opelika Times expresses it thus :

had previously recommended, has been an

been reported iu the daily journals, and

Mugwump*. He says: “They are going

than it was before. No, I don’t think we*
can trust the Mugwumps, as you call them."
It was a mistake iu Democrats to have any
thing to do with them. It will become a
crime to repent the mistake.
Says the Philadelphia Record: “A negro
barber at Mattoou, Ill., refused to shave a
brother negro, whereupon the aggrieved
party has carried his case into court under
the Illinois civil rights law and usks tlmt
ltis right to he shaved when his turn comes
shall be vindicated by a jury. It lias been
decided that Congress has no authority to
enforce civil rights after this fashion, and
the result in the Illinois ease will show
whether the State cau make it imperative
that one negro shall shave another negro
whether he will or ftot. Probably the so-
cial lmhits of the people will remain ns
they are, fixed by custom rather than by
statute."
Mu. Belmont, who has done much for

He was second ones and unplaced once. As
a three-year-old, beside* winning the Derby,
he was third in the Ascot Derby, and had u
walkover for the Biennial Stakes at Stock-

Suburban, at 121 pounds, when lie was mi-
placed. This year he was beaten in the Lin

ils and tlm people, making the com
mission the judges, the effect of its failure
is to continue the issue between the com
mission and the railroads.
With the inconsistent record that Gov
ernor Smith had made, and in the face of
the injudicious temper he had displayed, it
was plain that m* change of policy on the
part of the commission was possible so long
as tlie weakness for exercise of power,
coupled with the egotism and
iguorance of Major Wallace, was
supported by the force and disposition of
Governor Smith.
The intelligent judgment of the State
recognized the fact tlmt the railroads were
being oppressed, and the best sentiment of
• stir people, as indicated by the discussion
of the railroad bill and the votes upon it
iu both houses, demanded relief for them.
In recognition of these facts Governor
M ’Daniel did wisely in refusing to appoint
Governor Smith to a second term. Nay
more, he would have Wen guilty of a gross
abuse of his power as chief executive if he
had longer continued him in a position,
where, us experience has shown, he was
potent for evil.
Judge Erwin needs no in lorsement at our
hands. He is a pure man, n patriotic, up
right and incorruptible citizen, lie brings
to his new appointment a judicial mind and
an intelligent comprehension of the wants
aud necessities of the great interests over
which he bus been placid. He is not a pol
itician in any sense of the word, and will he
free to exercise the functions of his ollice
unbiased by tlu* beat and embarrassment
of a continued contest.
FaUlfvliiK the Itecnnl.
Our special Atlanta correspondent states
that ufter careful and thorough txumini-
tion it was discovered that the vote of Mr.
Tate, chuiiumn of the railroad committee,
had been affixed t«> the official tally sheet of
the House by the clerk, at some time subse
quent to the roll call.
This calls for the immediate dismissal of
the clerk who was guilty of that net. It is
a matter ot no concern that this action did
not change the result. It was an unauthor
ized tampering with the record of the
House. The House lms full control of its
officers, and the clerk tlmt did this
should not hold liis place an hour
after the meeting of the House to-day. To

.% Defense of GeorKia Democrats.
A t the instance of several gentlemen of
Rhode Island, Mr. Joseph A. frank eon-
tributes to the Providence Evening Mail a
long and exhaustive reply to the speech of
Senator Hoar, claiming tlmt negro majori
ties at the South should of necessity he Re
publican majorities.
From the reply we extract the most per
tinent portion. Mr. frank says:
1 am fortunately iu a position to speak of my own
knowledge concerning politics in Georgia. because
I was born and reared and still live iu that State;
and I lielicic I ran speak advisedly and impartially,
because, while a staunch Democrat, J am not a bit
ter partisan or a narrow minded bigot. Aud what I
may *ay of the negroes and the negro vote in Geor
gia will doubtless apply with equal force to every
other Southern state, not excepting South Carolina
and Mississippi, where the negro population greatly
exceeds the white.
The “Republican majorities" referred to by Sena
tor lloar must mean uegro majorities, because the
white men of the South, with comparatively few
exception*, are Democrat*. If till* meaning is cor-
n. t. and there can be no doubt of it. then the Sen
ator assumes that In-cause negroes may predomi
nate in a city, a county, a Congressional district, or
a State, there is no reason why a Republican should
not in all elections. 1« chosen respectively a tuuynr.
a legislator, a Congressman or a Governor. Well,
this may !*• good Northern Hourlion Republican
logic, but It Is too silly for Intelligent ‘people to
consider seriously, aud yet the Democratic party
must, for the tinn-, so consider it, simp'y tiecaune
it is the principal plank on which their political
opponent# have takeu s stand. Now, noth-
iug can I* clearer, especially to one who
understands negro character, than that a
negro majority is not a Republican ma
jority. The reasons for the full negro vote not be-
ingpolled at elections, and for the oucceaa of the
Democrat* ir. those portions of Georgia where the
negroes may have liunu-rical strength, are few aud
simple. They arc:
1st. Because the white men, with very few ex
ceptions, arc Democrat*, who stand united.
•id. Because many negro men are also Demo-
:id. Because many negro men who athliatcd with
the Republican party when that party was in power
in the South, on account of deceptive promise* to
each of forty acre* and a mule, and of voting being
relty to tbei
have lol
beet
>1 witli their white allies and perfectly list
less of the right of suffrage.
4th. Because many uegro men voluntarily atwtain
from voting rather than pay a poll tax of ?l a year,
which is a tax imposed ou wnites aud black* alike
for the public education of children of both colon.
5th. Because man/ negroes were fleered of a large
]>ortiou of their hard earnings for years by the now
defunct Freedman's Having* Bunk, which wns an in
stitution run iu the interest of the Republican
party.
r.th. Because time nud the relation of employer
and employe have clearly proved to the negroes (as
witness the address Issued by the convention of
uegro men at Lynchburg. Virginia, on tbo .‘loth
ultimo) that tin* white jH-ople of tbu South, among
whom they were reared aud who know them
ls**t, are their truest friends and the only ones to
whom they can look for lalH>r wlicu well, aud for
charity when sick.
7th. Because the course of the prevent Demo
cratic national administration lm* dl*wlled what
ever lingering fear* the negroes may • have enter
tained of their freedom through the vile teaching*
of the “carpet-baggers,” who wen*, if they an* not
now, the kuight-errant* of the Republican party, and
the “cankers of a calm world.”
And so vanishes Senator Hoar's “Republican ma
jorities" in the Mouth.
The truth is. that the negroes of tho South, who
arc mostly laborers, have as perfect freedom of
political discussion aud voting as auy clasa of lalmr-
cn* iu the North.
Mr. Tate's Vote
Which lias so exercised himself. Clerk Han-
sell, and tin va* not a matter of
more interest to us than to any other citi
zen.
Our special correspondent, whom we
keep in Atlanta to inform our reader* of the
proceedings of the Legislature, telegraphed
that on the railroad bill, a very important
one, Mr. Tate’s vote hud been recorded
out
time
cut
of
the call.
This is not the first time that a matter of
this kind lias occurred. It has been charged,
and is widely tailored, that in a Senatorial
election, but for the manipulation of the i
tally sheet, Colquitt could not lmve been I
elected Senator.
The facts, ns presented in the present in-.
place. We refer to tho substance
uud not to thclunj'uui'e. This then became
a matter that demanded comment. Mr.
Tate, whom we do not know, was a mere
iueideut, as was the particular assistant of
the clerk of the House, w ho happened to
l>c at the desk uud in charge oi the tally
sheet.
There is no necessity, for any vaporing
language or intcmimrate feeling. It became
our duty to call the attention of the House
to the matter. The House responded
promptly uml the investigation vindicated
the integrity of our correspondent, and
developed the fact that the House lms
been permitting a dangerous, irregular and
reprehensible practice to bo duly per
formed, without warrant or uutinrity of
parliamentary or statutory law.
Iu so much this investigation has accom
plished g<M>d. The next Legislature w ill, if it
does its duty, forever put a bar to fliis prac
tice. This incident has illustrated tho ne
cessity of u vigilance as to our lav-givers,
and the power of the press to compel the
abolishment of u had practice.
Tiik Milwaukee Telegraph’s Wwbingtnn
com spondeiit writes that: "Kosuh* Conk-

Grant when ho was running for (he l’resi-
d.Ticy in 1H72, and for supporting Greeley

A PENNSYLVANIA genius has been workiug
at a wonderful clock, which when complet
ed will probably eclipse anything yet pro
duced in the clock line, not even excepting
the celebrated Strasburg clock. He has
been working at this clock over five years
and expects to finish it next spring. It will
he twelve high by five feet wide and three
and a half feet deep, and is hiult entirely of
walnut wood. It is artistically designed aud
displays graceful proportions, while the
mouldings ornamenting it are delicately
carved. On tile lower front of the ease is a
circle of eleven dials, with a large dial iu
the centre giving the time at Washington,
I). C., in hours, minutes and second*, the
month of the year, the date of the month,
the date of the week, the four seasons of
the year aud the changes of the moon. The
eleven remaining dials give the difference
of time in New York, Chicago, San Francis-
co, London, l’ekin, Constantinople, Mel
bourne, Vienna, Cairo and St. Petersburg,
One of the most curious features of the
clock is a contrivance by which at a certain
hour of the day a figure representing Will

nates of the country slowly enter u door ut

MY WIFE!
My wife ling been a great Hiifferer from
catarrh. Several phyaicians ami varioua
medicines were resorted to, yet the diHeaxe
continued unahatml, nothing appearing to
make any lmpreaiiiou upon it. Her couati-
tution finally became implicated, the poinon
being in her blood.
I secured a bottle of B. B. B. and placed
her upon its use, and to our surprise the
improvement began at once, and her recov
ery was rapid and complete. No other pre
paration ever produced such a wonderful
ciiauge, und for all forms of blood disease I
cheerfully recommend B. B. B. us a supe
rior blood purifier.

GREAT GRIEF.
From the Athens, Ga., Bunuer-Watchman.
Uncle Diek Suultcr says: Fifty years ago
I had a running ulcer on my log which re
fused to heal under any treatment. In 1853
I went to California and remained eighteen
months, and in 1873 I visited Hot Springs,
Ark., rcmuiuiug three months, but whs not
cured. Auipututiou wns discussed, but I
concluded to make one more effort. I com
menced taking the B. B. B. about six weeks
ago. Tho fifty-year-old sore ou my leg is
healing rapidly, nud yesterday I walked
about fifteen miles fishing uud hunting
without niiv pain, and before using the B.
B. B. I could not walk exceeding half a mile.
I sleep soundly for the first time in niafiy
years. To think that six bottles have done
me more good than Hot Springs, eighteen
months in California, besides the immense
amount of medicines aud eight or ten first-
class physicians, will convince any man on
earth tlmt it is a wonderful blood medicine.
It bus ulso cured me of catarrh.
MOUTH.
There is a lady living here, Mrs. ,who
has had catarrh for many years. I have
known she had it for fifteen or twenty years
und my father once doctored her, us she
was then a tenant of our place. For the last
two and a half years she has been bedridden
-tiie catarrh or cancer (the numerous phy
sicians had never decided which) during her
two and a half years iu the beu, had eaten
all the roof of her mouth out. Nhe was
so offensive no one could stay iu thvrootu;
she could not eat anything, but could swal
low soup if it was strained. She gave tip to
die. Her son bought the B. B. B., and she
used several bottles, which effected an en
tire cure. She is now well and hearty. I
have not exaggerated one particle.
