H. C. Hvnson, Manager. The Charleston Hews says “that South ern capital can never be induced to seek in vestment in Indiana so long as colored men are shot down in cold blood at the very bnr of justice in that State.” The Manchester (N. H.) Union thinks that the Republican who isn't ashamed of the character of the Malione campaign is in the depths of a party degradation from which there is no redemption. The Chicago Inter-Ocean strikes near the center of a great truth wh«n it says, “there is a great deal of manliness in the world, and the most of it is found among the men ■who are trne to the old idea of home life.” Lieutenant Deuhy, famous for his work fn the Hell Gate explosion, is n son of "John Phoenix," the founder of the school of modern humor in America. And the boy apiiears to have a capacity to raiso h—hades or Slieol, equal to the old man. A Washington journal says: “The large picture of Thomas Jefferson, which has hung on the east wall of tlio lobby of the White House, has been taken down and mounted on a stand iu the same portion of the building, in order that a better light might be secured." It is about time that Democratic Tom was moved from obscurity into a strong, bright light and it may bo an indication of an intention upon the part of the administration to look iuto tho politics of the country. It is n good sign wbeu teiupernnco socle tics begin, ns one or two nre now begin ning, to urge the passage of u high license law in tire several States. This is urged by the Church Temperance Society in Now York nud Pennsylvania. Thu Philadelphia Press has the right of it when it says: “II tho temjKrance element and the sober church-going people ram bo brought to re cognize what a powerful uid to sobriety, decency and good order high license is, its adoption is secured.” Miss Tenny Curias, Victoria WoodhoU’s {Mrs. Martin's) sister, has just married a Viscount Montsernuli, whose fortune is in Euglaud and castle iu l’ortugnl. These fe male gemini are now settled and probably their woman's rights matinees will come to an end forever fas ur us the public is con cerned. We violate no conlidence in elut ing that while Miss Tennessee Cutlin has surrendered her maidenhood, she still re turns her advanced principles and the couut will tind her, at certain times, as rugged os tire State whose name she I slant. Cocoamtt cellulose is a new substance, and if it possesses the quality claimed for it, England may go hack to her wooden walls with safety nml bent up her self-de structive rums for old iron. The patentees claim that a ship cannot be sunk by shot ur shell if only she has taken tho precaution of coming into the fight with this peculiar tis sue as a great coat. When a shot, no mat ter what its dimensions, strikes the side of •u frigate the carpenter and his mates need not jump to cram in the old-time plugs, for the cellulose immediately closes, and a drop of water will not enter. The Pool Kill Veto. Commercial circles have been somewhat disturbed over a bill passed by the Legisla ture to prohibit pool-selling and dealing in futures. The hill should never have passed, and would not have done so save at the heel of the session. The amendment tacked on to the original bill by Representative Bartlett was intended to kill it, but failed to do so. The Governor could have performed thin duty to the people and kiudnesB to the hill bv giving it a pocket veto, hut he concluded to emphasize the occasion by a special veto message, which we quote ns follows: Article 3, section 7. paragraph 8. ot the constitu tion is as follows: “No law or ordinance aliall pasa which refers to more than one aubjecl matter, or contaiua matter different from which is expressed In the titlo thereof.*' This hill refers to more than one subject matter, and contains matter which is not expressed in its title. Section 1 provides that “it shall not be lawful for any person or persons, by themselves, their ser vants. agents, employes, or others, tu keep, main tain. employ, or carry on any pool room, pool board or place of selling pools, for the purpose of betUng money, or anything of value on games of any kind horse races; or to keep auy places wherein similar schemes or devices are carried the hazarding of money or other thing of value; or to keep auy room or for the purpose of buying or selling, sny futures on return, corn, wheat, meat, lard or other like articles; or for auy person to sell or buy any fnturea in cotton, corn, wheat, meat or other like article." The next section prescribes punish* went for violation of foregoing provisions. It will thus appear that the same section of the hill prohibits the keeping of rooms, of pool boards places of selling pools for the betting of money on games or races, and also prohibits the keeping any room or place for buying or selling any fu tures on cotton, corn and similar articles, oi the buying or selling any futures in cotton, similar articles, constituting an other and widely different subject mat ter. The terms “futnres on cotton, com, etc,," or futures in cotton, com, etc,," may be applied to a multitude of commercial trausactious daily car ried on throughout the state, iu which actual de livery of the articles sold is contemplated and uo ero speculation on chances is intended. Should this lull become a law the effect might se riously damage the trade of the State, during the pc- rind necessary to have its provisions,and the extent of their operation defined by the courts. Criminal statutes should be certain and detluite, in order that the citizen may not bo misled iuto violations of them on the one hand, and may not be on the other hand, restricted in his liberty of action for fear of violating them. Xor should auy hill be come a law which in ita Operation will necessarily subject many law-abiding citizena of the State to prosecution, and ttil the courts with litigation. Separate bills, properly guarded so as to reach aud comet the evils sought tu be suppressed, would meet my cordial approval. llowover desirable it may be to suppress gambling in all its forms and ramiAcatious. 1 am coustrained by a sense of duty to withhold my sanction from this act. Ukxhy D. McDaniel, By the Governor. Governor. 1. W. Wauuks, Seo'y Hz, Dep't. The real reason for this document, per- htqn. is contained in the paragraph which pledges tho Governor to approve u sop.irutu bill to prevent dealing in futures. Really a veto message should ho address cd to tho General Assembly, hut as that rc mnrkable body bus retired from public view the Governor did tin next best thing, by contributing it to the press. An honest and intelligent press iu but the echo of the voice of the people, nud this message must bo p:tssod tqioD in tho usual purliumontory forms. CoiisiJering, for tho occasion, the TzLzaoAPn to ho the people, wo proceed. Thu wuasngo haring been read, the ques tion recurs: Shall the bill pass, the objec tions of the Executive to tlie contrary not withstanding? Those in favor of its pas sage will respond aye when their names are called; thoso of a contrary opinion will re spond no. The clerk will proceed to call tho roll. Macon Telegraph—No. All other junrniils of tiro State—Ye*. Upon u count of tire vote it will he seen that a largo umjority lias voted iu the negative, consequently the objections of the Executive nre sustained and the bill is lost. (Loud applause iu the gallery.) The sergeant-at-arms will see that order is pre served. The chair will oriler the galleries to be closed if there is further demonstra tion. The usual hour having arrived, it becomes the duty and pleasure of the pre siding officer to announce this body ad journed without n day. dition, we Bpare him. JNot one syllable of those statements is true. The Telkobaph is not controlled by rail roads or railroad men. It has never re ceived a cent from any railroad corpora tion, officer or stockholder, save the adver tising rates fur publishing schedules. It has its opinions about railroad legisla tion and other subjects vital to the inter ests of the State, and has never been slow or timid in their assertion and defense. It was grieved to see a subject so impor tant as the modification of the present rail road commission law treated by members of the Legislature in a partisan spirit, nnd did nil in its power to elevate the discussion by impregnable facts and unanswerable ar guments. It has no aspirations or ambitions be yond the good name, the growth nnd progress of the State nnd country, and it only asks of friends and foes alike, that they meet it fairly in the forum of reason and good conscience. During these five years of the discussion of this question the writer has never heard but one railroad man allude to the proba bilities of its drifting into politics, and he expressed what every good citizen must feel, that it would be unfortunate for the State and the railroads. Within the last few weeks a Railroad Commissioner has been reported as saying, that he would take the question to the stump. The press has re-echoed the dec laration, and it has been followed by no de nial. To the thinking men of the State, who do not hang about Legislatures or po litical caucuses, who stay at home and mannge the commerce, manufactories and farms, which make Georgia great, the Tele graph has taken occasions to express its own opinion that the issue could be forced into politics, and that such a step wonld be calamitous. For this it assumes the en tire respon sibility and defense. any other way through this school if it is properly conducted, and hence wonld re gard as a calamity any action upon the part of those who shall be clothed with- the re sponsible authority to inaugurate the work, influenced by any other consideration than its efficiency and usefulness. “My Grandfather's clock” is to be made immortal. A gentleman residing in New Orleans has discovered a novel treatment for .cleaning old clocks in which the works are still intact, bnt, as is frequently the case, refuse to w ork by reason of being clogged with oti and dirt. He winds the clock up and places the workH into a pot of water and boil* them. The boiling water loosens the oil and dirt and the movement of the works sweejm it awuy. The works are then taken out, and the machinery being hot the water dries at once, withont producing ruat. The remedy is a simple one, and should l>e tried by all owners of refractory time- Pfe***- A Word With Dr. Felton, We lrnvo no disposition to odd to the embarrassment which General Alexander's letter must have placed upon Dr. Feltou, nor do we desire to continue the railroad discussiou, which found an end in the Leg islature satisfactory to us. ltut we do not propose to be misrepresented by Dr. Felton, or any one else, withont an immediate and conclusive reply. During the illness of his better-half, for which we have nothing lmt regrets, he has lx eu promoted from a sulronlinnte position to that of editor-in-chief of the family organ. Dazed by.the honor, his head has been turned, and he has filled the Conrant with lucubration* from his pen that may be classed as good, bad and indifferent. His notice of tho Telkobaph nmy he clussed under the second head, since it is a labored effort to misrepresent its real posi tion. Referring to on editorial of Sunday last, in which we took occasion to warn the public that a further attempt tooppresa the railroads would result in dragging the issue into the dirty arena of politico, the learned parson takes occasion to record the wish thut every Irion in Georgia could read the article referred to. Every man in Georgia dues read the Telkobaph, save a few perhaps, who are deprived of all political and literary pabulum, save such ns is dished out weekly (we do not spell it with an a) iu the Carteraville Courant.

Since the passage of tho bill establishing thinessential institution, discussion has sprung up all over this State touching the point at which it shall he located. It is natural that every city in Georgia should desire its possession, and to this end should endeavor by all legitimate means to secure tho prize. In the struggle that is likely to ensue there is danger that the great interests involved may be sacrificed. Already we hear of objections to one location at least, that show very plainly the poor concep tion of the purpose of this school, if it is to serve any useful purpose when estab lished. The venerable and honored chanceUor of tho University of Georgia is reported to have said that its location at Macon, by reason of its proximity to Mercer Univer sity, wonld damage the Stnto University, We do not know thnt Dr. Mell has made such a statement. Reported from so high nud respectable a source, it is calculated to injure the prospects of this city with all the friends of the university. There is no more dungor of injury to the State University by the locution df this school at Mucon, than there wonld bo of breaking down the law school at Athons by starting a school of divinity here upon nn independent basis. The work of a technological school differs from thnt of the university as radically na school of law differs from n school of divin ity. They require different classes of men its instructors, and are supposed to qualify pupils for widely different walks, profes sions nnd vocations in life. The one great fundamental fact back of the necessity for technical training in Georgia is tlie want of diversified industry in promoting social power in its broadest sense. To a want of this diversity our financial weakness is attributable. Its development is the supreme necessity of our State and section. To hick of capital for oU the great enter prises upon which our future wealth and po w- er are dependent, we are under an equal disadvantage arising from want of skill. Time and economy will aupply the former. It is acccmnlating now na fast as onr feeble industrial organism will permit, and the few sources of its creation will supply. In skill we are accomplishing comparatively noth* ing in the way of development and occumu ration. The school of technology proposes to aup ply thia deficiency. The same means are employed by other States, even those where generations of successful manufacturing has largely augmented a population skilled in the mechanic arts. Their young men ore not shut in to the ordinary pursuits to which our sons are stricted. A wide demand for diversified skill incident to all communities where there is a large diversity of interests, supplies not only to the young mnltiplied avenues ot em ployment, hut supports the social'fabric with all the industries their varied talents develop. An intelligent recognition of thia plain nnd important fact U back of the demand for technical education in Georgia, or thia demand is not supported by rational con siderations. It cannot serve any other pur pose. If this is true it must be plain that the young men who seek through this school qualification for the higher accomplish ments of mechanics, are not of the class that attend the university or other colleges in the State. Home of the branches that are taught in the colleges and at the universitj will he taught here, bnt only such as ora essential to successful promotion of the special art for which it is sought to qualify ita graduates. We trust the great end of the institution trill be kept in view, and that every step to- | wards ita organization, including location. Gen. Toombs Should be Protected. That General Toombs’s mind should have given way, under the pressure of domestic and linancinl trouble, is not surprising, but is simply amazing that his friends and relatives have permitted what should have been confined to his sick room,or at least to the family, to be paraded daily in the public prints. It was sad that when on his feet an inter viewer who never should have been permit ted to approach him, had spread ubroad ut terances calculated to engender bitterness among the few living contemporaries of Gen. Toombs. But we have seen nothing so calculated to shock all delicate sensibilities os this, em braced in a “Constitutional” of the Atlanta Constitution: There is a good story told about General Toombs, illustrating the brilliancy of bis wit. One dsy a press telegram announced the death of Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, and the next day a correction was sent out by the Virginia statesman. Col. John Stephens, during the day. fell into the company of General Toombs, and In the course of conversation remarked: Well, General, I see that Ran Tucker denies that is dead." “Yes," said the General, quickly, "I saw that, but such a d d liar I don’t know whether to be lieve it or not!" If General Toombs had ever used the language here attributed to him, it were better that its memory should die with him. But he could never have used such lan guage towards John Randolph Tucker, familliurlv called “Ran.” Mr. Tucker is a gentleman of the highest character and attainments, nn elder in the Presbyterian church, whose word would stand os his bond with auy man who knows him. No shadow can possibly reHt upon his integrity, nnd there is not the slightest reason to sup pose thnt General Toombs ever flushed such common wit in the face of a fact so solid. When General Toombs has been laid away by reverent hands, there may follow reminiscenses of his brighter nnd better duys, from the friends who knew* him during that period, but common de cency should stand between his helpless ness and irresponsible scribblers. fellow for over a year and supposed that bis game had been played cut.

Editor-Tkleobaph:—I write in respoee to your request of the 20th instant for information concern ing the relationa between the railroads and railroad managers in Georgia and the so-called “Railway Shareholders’ Association," commented upon by Dr. Felton in a recent speech in the House of Rep resentatives. I speak for myself only. In November, 1883,1 received a letter, purporting to be from the secretary of an association, then al leged to be organizing, under the above name, re questing the use of my name as one of the trustees. A circular was enclosed, declaring the purposes of the association, which, in brief, were said to bo for the distribution of correct in formation in regard to railroad operations and management, and resisting hostile and oppressive legislation. My name waa printed upon thia prospec tus aa one of the trustees, and the letter of the sec retary requested the use of my name for this pur pose. I declined and ao wrote him. After this, I received a request for a contribution of $100 to the aaaocifttion; and later on a request for $50. To these I made no reply. In answer to my letter declining the use of my name, I received a formally drawn application to a court of New York, asking the Judge to erase my name from the records, which I waa requested to sign and return. An I had no part in putting my name upon the records, 1 made no reply to this. I afterwards received an application for an annual pass over our roads on account of the association. To thia I made no reply. 1 next received a letter re questing the loan ot $50 for sixty days, enclosing to me a properly executed promisnory notes for that amount I returned the note in a letter, stating that I did not desire to make tho loan. During this correspondence I received a letter from Sir Henry Tyler, of Loudou, England, inform ing me that the use of his name an a trustee of the Railway Shareholders* Association waa without his authority and that he demanded ita with drawal. He gave me tho information because my name was presented aa one of the trustee!!, and presume be gave like information to the other gentlemen whoa*. names were used in this way. His letter conveyed the information, that of the long list ot names printed in the prospectus as references in Great Britain, many were tho names of persons deceased. Thia is all the information or knowledge I have of the association that has attracted Dr. Foltnn’i attention. No railroad official in tlie State has ever mentioned the subject to mc.and if auy aru in receipt of similar documents to those sent me, they evi dently did not impress them as being a matter of sufficient importance to inquire about or discuss.

Atlanta, Oa., October 2L IH85.-Rer. W. II. Fel ton, Carteraville, Go.—Dear Sir: I have just re turned from an absence of several weeks, aud bear for the first time of yoar recent assault* upon me in debate in the Legislature aud in the colutnus of your paper. I trust that when convinced of the utter falsity of every single statement and insinuation which yon have made concerning me, and the consequent in justice of your comments thereon, your sense of duty as a Christian and of honor as a gentleman, will *ngge«t an equally full aud earnest effort to nn- do and repair, as far oa la now in your power, the wrong you have done and sought to do. In the flrat place, yon have stated that I am the president of a certain railway shareholders' elation." whose objects you proceed to denounce. I am not and never have been, either the president or a member of any auch association whatever, and In spite of the evidence of the circular, which yoa aay yoa have in your possession, I do not believe there U, or ever haa been any such association. Bat yoa have been imposed upon by what I believe to be a huge "confidence game" worked by a party in New York. This bcUef i* based oa the following facta: Nearly two yean calling himself secretary ot an association of that name, wrote to me that ita then president who waa also president of one of the largest railroad* centering in Chicago, waa obliged by pressure of other duties to give up hia position, and that my name wa* mentioned for the auccea- "Jon at a large salary and with very ntnall demand upon my time. I replied asking for information aa to who comprised the association. The reply was so evasive that I declined to allow the use of my name, and I wrote to the most prominent railroad men at the North to find out about the concern, The replies were to the effect that the so-called as sociation was a figment of the so-called secretary’n brain and that he was the habit of using all prominent names which suited hi* purpose* without the knowledge or consent of the owners. The Chicago president wrote to me that he knew nothing of the concern and that his name had Wn’tioed without author ity. and in the meantime I heard that the secretary wo* now OKing my name in spite of my refusal allow it to be used. I published cards In the At* lanta Constitution and Loulaville Courier-Journal about it at the time, and I am surprised if no one has already put you on notice that then might some doubt as to my being the guilty person you held me up to be. Shortly afterward I saw account of the secretary in bU so-called association iu a Sew York paper, which confirmed the belief that the whole scheme was to solicit subscriptions, both from English and American stockholder* who think tbemaelvea in j nml legislation founded in ignorance and prejudice; and adverti*ementa from person* who ran be _ sanded that the "association" i* about to publish hooka or papen.
