The wires say Billy Mahone is going to

went up Suit river a few days ago.
It takes a Polish pair three days and
nights to get married. In Chicago three
days and nights are sufficient for marriage,
honeymoon and divorce.
The Abyssinians have gotten ahead of
Osman Digna. In fact, they got the only
one Ossy had. This confirms the rumor
that the noted Arab is desperately ill.
The Kepnblican press evidently regards
the new postmaster at St. Louis as a llyde-
bonnd offensive partisan. Still, if ho he ns
good a Democrat as his paper, tho country
can stand it.
The suspicion is afloat that if Parson
Felton’s journalistic gun was a seven-shoot
er and not a single barrel affair, and the
ammunition held out, he would rnuko con
siderable noise in North Georgia.
Alton B. Pakkeu, just appointed to the
Supremo Court of New York, the World
says, is “a lawyer of brilliant ability, a
man of strictest purity and integrity, who
will honor and adorn the judicial bench."
It is strongly suspected that if King
Milan can got some one to hold him, he will
not rnsh to the gory field of battle, and that
if he can't, he will hold himself. Milan has
evidently been reading the life of John
Sherman.
Despite tho Democratic party's best en
deavor, the Mugwump continues to fall into
office with a cheerful thud. In the mean
time, tho Republicans continue to look
through the windows of most Southern
post-offices.
Trut following conversation is reported
by the l’alntka (Flo.) Herald: ‘‘Is it possl
ble that your town keeps up threo newspa
pers?" was a question asked us the other
day by a stranger. “No," was the reply,
“it takes tlirco newspapers to keep the
town."
At Reading, Pennsylvania, gome young
gentlemen surrounded a house where a
Now York beau was visiting and shot him
through au open window. This, on the
sonth side of tho lino, would have been an
“outrage,” but in dear old Republican
Pennsylvania it is mere fun and eccentricity.
The human body offera grent resistance
to heat. It takes a temperature of 12,000
degrees Fahrenheit twelve hours to reduce
it to ashes. With cold it is different. An
iceberg liko Kdmunds can freeze a large
number of voters so hard in ten minutes
that one might knock their cars off with a
fail.
The Chicago News overheard an unique
dialogue recently and reports it: "How
eomrsit, Diogenes,” inquired Boerates, “that
I find you prowling around with your bull'
eye lantern so early in tho morning after the
closing of tho polls?" "Now, by the dog!'
quoth Diogenes, “I am searching for the
Mugwump vote.”
The following paragraph from a Milwau
kee paper leads ua to infer that the Macon
breed of hunters has members visiting the
far West: "Whon one hears and sees the
large amount of load that is being shot into
the lakes and ponds at this season, in pro
portion to the number of ducks taken ont,
one cannot help thinking of the valuable
lead mines that are there being formed for
future generation to discover."
It has been suggested that the high praise
bestowed by the Tei.eoeapb upon our Mary
Anderson has gone far towards increasing
tho coot of her tickets. The disaster is ap
palling, but it can't be helped. The man
who will pay $1,50 to see Janauscbek and
decline to pay $2.80 to see Mary in top boots
is a backsliding American patriot and ought
to be imprisoned in an anti-Kentucky
town.
The New York Evening Post says: “The
monstrous idea that a Republican party
could be built up in tho Booth through the
missionary labors of a lot of scoundrels,
whose creed was repudiation arid whose
moral support was federal patronage, lrod
its last and best expedient in Mahone, and
its disappearance forever with him is
national blessing.
Dlscossixo the prospects of the Macon
ruid Covington road, the Jasper County
News is disposed to be sanguine and liberal
To the people of Macon it says: “We will
make them this offer: If they will take the
fifty thousand dollars of subscription, and
at the end of one year, after the rood is
completed, their city has not expanded and
been benefited twice that amount, we will
agree to pay them twenty-five thonsanddcl-
la re for half of their stock in this road and
take it off of their hands." Wc cannot
afford to let this pons. It is so near Christ,
xnss that, our bank account is a little rat
tled, but put op a good bond, forward the
stock certificates, and draw on ns at sight
tor amount mentioned.
A Word About tho Covington and Macon
Railroad.
The Jasper County News is at a loss to
understand the failure of the people of Ma
con to subscribe fifty thousand dollars to
the Covington and Macon railroad. While
acknowledging a preference for Macon, the
News says: “We have another chance fora
railroad through our county, and we tell the
people of Macon they have kept us baited
long enough;” and again: “There are other
points to and by which tliift road can be
changed where the required aid can be had,
ad, in fact, a route which was first can-
assed almost to a conclusion."
Tho people of Macon appreciate the
kindly disposition of their friends in Jasper.
We regret that they have been deprived so
long of railroad facilities, and furthermore
ould help them readily and liberally as a
favor to them, without regard to returns
upon investments, and to any extent up to
$50,000, or many times that amount, if the
laws of Georgia permitted investors in rail
roads to control their property.
We would suggest to the News that Macon
has had large and costly experience in
building the lines of railroads that centre
here. While other communities hesitated
arid in many instances refused to pledge
their revenues for this purpose, the city of
Macon assisted with what, to her resources,
was a prodigal liberality, every scheme to
open up these highways in all direction?
Scarcely had her system been perfected,
when towns that had sprung into exist
ence by reason of the roads she had largely
assisted to build demanded that they should
be given all the advantages of terminal and
competing points.
In the fierce denunciation of the men
who had built our railroad lines, which
characterized the discussion of this ques
tion in the press, upon the hustings, and in
the halls of our Legislatures, the impres
sion was sought to be made that every
holder of a railroad share was a common
robber. In vain the companies pleaded
the plighted faith of the State and
through their officers, as honorable
our Governors nnd judges, assured the
Legislature and the people that railroad
property was not paying the interest upon
investment for which money loaned on
good security. People nnd presses, who
had never built or operated a foot of rail
road, became the masters of the situation
and Georgia, taking counsel of ignorance
and passion, framed a law placing this
property at tho nrercy of throe men, two of
whom it was specified in the bill should be
ignorant of the grent business they were to
dominate with despotic power.
When this commission was placed in
power it.rcfused to ignore tho necessity,
propriety or legitimacy of tenninul points
nnd trnilo centres. Theso were established
by lnn-s as sure os that of gravitation
changeable they may be, and are, but these
changes depend under legitimate condi
tions upon advantages of location, liberal
ity, pluck, and enterprise on the part of
individuals and communities. The policy
of tho commission was long
sines changed and yielding
tho demand for soggregation, which if
applied to capital and population will for
ever prevent grent soetnl power in any
State; it not only undertook to level
all advantages between crossroads towns
and terminal points, but acttmlly consol:
dated corporations which the supremo tri
bunal of the State hail pronounced^ “sepe-
rote and distinct entities."
With all the advantages that she supposed
sho had secured swept nwny by this law,
with private nnd publio rights subverted,
with a decision of tho Supreme Court set at
naught by the commission, tho pooplo of
Jasper county cannot reasonably complain
because Macon does not rush up to invest
more money in railroad property, which
in its operation under present law is bound
to discriminate against her.
While npon this subject, wo will take
occasion to say what we have felt should
have been said when Mr. Livingston first
presented the Covington and Macon rail
road scheme to tho people of this comma-
nity.
This enterprise was unfortunate, if legiti
mate, in placing at its bead a man who did
not have, nor could not have, any
claims upon tho confidence of our
people by reason of his snccesa
financier or railroad builder or manager,
and who discredited the scheme by advo
cating, as we are informed, tho existing
commission law.
It bad as well be admitted by the com
munities of Georgia who need
railroad facilities, that new sources
of assistance must bo found
before mnch can be dono in this direction.
The cities of the Btate cannot afford
bankrupt themselves in bnilding lines
which when operated are made to discrimi
nate against them. Tho connties cannot
pay the coat themselves, and so long
the present law is of force
is idle -to talk of selling
bonds. The trouble is deeper down than
any supposed indifference in this or any
other city upon the question of railroad con
nections with their neighbors and fricn
It is a want of confidence in tbe honesty
and integrity of the State.
The rail road fanatics may destroy all the
railroad property in Georgia, bat they can-
not compel the people who built it to build
more.
We anticipate that onr friends in Jasper
will wait long for railroad facilities unless
the present law shall bo changed or a line
shall be built by aome existing corporation
in self-defense. This was the.only chance,
in our judgment, the Covington
and Macon ever hail for say what yon will
about capital, it always has sense, and no
man's money is foolish enough to suppose
that a road from Covington to Macon would
pay anything upon its cost, or that its com
ing to Macon depends upon the subscrip
tion of fifty thousand dollars here.
What is the East Tennessee paying, ran-
I ning as it does through the splendid conn-
ties of Monroe, Batts and Henry?
The Cartersville ('nilrant.
During the reoent illness of tho editress of
the Cartersville Coumnt, Dr. Felton became
luciim (earns Unaccustomod to tho posi
tion, he indulged in some animadversions
upon this journal which we were forced to
notice.
In consideration of his domestic trouble
and hiB own unfamiliarity with his position,
our readers will bear testimony that we
dealt with him very leniently. This for
bearance appears to bav o been misappre-
ciated anil misconstrued, ns will be seen by
this excerpt from the lost issue of the Coo
lant: •
The Atlanta correspondent of tlio Macon Teie-
nnAi-ii, In Ills account of a recent prohibition meet-
ins. represents Dr. Hawtborncsas indirectly pitching
into Senator Brown, --strongly insinuating that ho
was a skulk, too cowardly to conic nut for or against
irohlbltion." Whereupon the Teleobaph regards
Dr. Hawthorne as -an unwise prohibitionist, and
reads the doctor a lecture upon Senator Brown’s
methods of playing for even. "It may not suit,"
says the Tki.eohapu, -his present purpose to in
dulge in mouthiugs over prohibition, tut ho may
consider it pmdout after awhile to provide a new
pastor for the Baptist church in Atlanta."—Albany
and Advertiser.
The Macon Telkquaph knows how it is Itself. It
flopped Into the support of Senator Brown for the
Senate with astonishing celerity, and we are pre
pared to see it advocate Senator Colquitt in the
same way. There is no rule bo potent with its poli-
cbe hint it throws out to Dr. Hawthorne.
The cream of the joke lies in the fact that Dr. Haw
thorne didn't say it, hut the timidity of the Tele-
guafh is allt-e samee.
From its spirit and language wo are dis
posed to think tlint the pressman or car
rier, in the absence of the editress, assum-
to fill out the form, and at the same time
gratify'his spleen at the Telegraph.
As a matter of fact, this journal has never,
tinder its present management, submitted
tbe threats or acts of Senator Brown.
No one knows this better than Mrs. Felton.
has not supported Senator Brown in
either of his contests for the Senate, and
consequently has not “flopped” on this or
nny other issue.
As a matter of fact, it is well known by
prominent members of the Democratic
party, tfiat the Teleobaph stood prepared
sustain General Lawton, Major Cum-
ining. Governor Smith or Mr. Block, if
.ther bod consented to submit liis claims
tbe Senatorsliip.
No journal in this State can say with less
truth than the Courant, that it is “prepared”
see tho Teleobaph support Colquitt, a
moral and physical impossibility.
There is not one syllable of truth in the
statement that its politics is measured by
the rule of tho pleasure or displeasure of
Senator Brown, or that it has on any occa
sion exhibited “timidity" where purso or
person were called upon to vindicate any
issue it had espoused.
The entire paragraph is os untrue as it is
unworthy in spirit.
There are other considerations which
might be justifiably referred to in this con
nection, but we havo said sufficient for the
present, and forbear.
times over for all they ever did for tbe par
ty or the country, and whose only present
desire is to ruin where they can no longer
rule. They have had their day, and run
their course to the end. Let Republicans
leave them alone with their disappoint,
ments and their grievances, and give heed
to the supreme duty of standing by tho
party and its principles, regardless of all
other considerations."
The Washington correspondent of tho
writes that “Secretary Lamar, in his fight
with the ring influences of his department,
doubtless finds inspiration in the study of
n great local character who was tho fighter
of Mr. Lamar's neighborhood when the lat
ter was a mere hoy. This fighter was a
planter by the name of James B. Znekery.
His dialect nnd exploits were most happily
described by Mr. Lamar at a recent dinner.
Znekery, in his best days, whipped every
thing before him. One day young Lamar
asked the fighter to give him the secret of
his success. He said: ‘Zackery, it can't
be that you are bigger and stronger than
everybody.’ Zaokery replied: ‘Well,
Lucias, I jest explains it in this yer way:
When I goes into a fight I takes a good
swar that I’m goin' to stay right thar! Mr.
Lucius,” added lie, ‘fightin’ is, I reckon,
the most tiresome business there is. When
tho other feller begins to get
his tire on then your stayin’
right thar will beat him shore.'
It was Zackery who, in condoling with
a neighbor who bad lost a good and faith
ful wife, Said, ‘I am sorry for you; I know
of nothin' tlint ungears a man so os to lose
his wife.’ Towards the close of his life
Zachery experienced religion. As ho was
lying upon his death bed a neighbor came
in and said, ‘Well, Zachery, you will have
to go soon, I am told.' ‘As is agreeable
nater,’ with bis polito and conservative
reply. When asked if he thought his sins
were all forgiven, he said, with oven greater
conservatism, “I reckon the heft of them
are.’ Mr. Lamar's good ‘swar’ to stay ‘right
thar’ is working the needed revolution in
tho Interior Department.”
Thomas Dixon, at that place, this morning.
Ho left his homo on Thursday lost, and was
seen on Friday under the influence of
liquor. The discovery of his body in the
hayloft is said to have been the result of a
vivid dream had by tbe father last night.
Death is supposed to have been caused by
exhaustion nnd exposure.
A Columbia, 8. C., special to the New
York Tribune snys: The demand for Con-
feilorato bonds has again been renewed,
and large quantities of them are being pur
chased by Charleston and Columbia bro
kers for $1.75 a thousand. One broker
said that he could furnish no further infor
mation, but the fact thnt the bonds were
purchased to fill an order from Richmond.
T
* A White Light.
For some time back onr spcciul corres
pondents at Atlanta, under instructions,
have been throwing a white light on the in
side of that town.
This has proved highly interesting to the
people, as tho rapidly increasing circulation
of our journal will testify.
It has been a novel experiment nnd the
people have been treated to a revelation
about many things.
It is right and proper that every citizen
should be intormed os to whnt la going on
at tho capital Tbe Teleobaph does not
propose to furnish doctored nows or to per
mit the suppression of;-facta of public in
terest.
It thoroughly understood wbat it was un
dertaking, before tho inauguration of the
enterprise anil cannot be deterred by threats
or complaints.
It knew that this would provo a very un
welcome business to certain pnrties, the
aucccsa ot whose schemes and manipula
tions depends upon secrecy.

The Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat proceeds
to read Blaine nnd Conkling ont of the Re
publican party, after this fashion; “Tbe

Dr. Fvlton on Dr* Huygood
Editor* Tklkoraph: When I read tho highly
personal, untruthful, unprovoked and ungentle-
manly attack made upon myself by Rev. Atticus O.
Hay good in the Tklkoraph of last Sunday, I at
addressed him a letter to know if that inter
view represented him properly. Also asking if be
heard the speech designated in that interview so
roughly—also asking his authority for other state*
meats in reference to my reputod candidacy and
requesting an Immediate reply—for I was only
deterred by ono consideration, from following his
example, and addressing him an argument ad
hominem.
It is just to him and myself to state tho reason
for even an hour’s delay, and 1 worded it thus:
For the take of the church to which wo both belong,
do not accept a newspaper slander as your own
statement without giving you an opportunity to do
mo justice, and to savo yourself from what that in
tervlew deserves.’*
Ho man—be he priest, potentate, or Slater fund
agent—can call mo a liar inside or outside of public
prints without hearing from me as quickly as pos
sible, bnt I recollected (a fact the Doctor seems to
have overlooked in his private interview with tho
Elbcrtun Headlight) that preachers of the same re
ligious denomination owe something to tho dignity
and'respectability of tho church that accepts their
ministry*.
Dr. Haygood publishes in the Tklkorafii of to
day, a statement which he construes into a niodlfl.
cation of tho offentlve Interview, especially the
charge of "untruth." Therefore, 1 shall withhold
for the present tho*article X had already prepared
to meet hia case. Major Hanson very kindly offer
ed to give that article a place in the Tklkoaavii,
and had not Dr. Haygood’s disclaimer appeared, it
would have reached you by this mail.
I was only concerned about the personalism in
tho interview, for I supposed it a matter of su
preme indifference to the people of Georgia—as it
certainly is to myself—whether he favors or op-
poaej tho Railroad Commission of this State,
whether bo talks prohibition or votes against
prohibition, whether he is tho friend of
poor people or people as rich ss
Sister; or whether he prefers gold to the msntle of
Bishops Marvin. Wlgbtmsn and Soule. I have no
disposition to Interfere with any of his schemes
for self-aggrandizement, and so long as tho people
of tbe church can keep Haygoodiam distinct from
Methodism, t shall never interfere.

Mies Mamie Barrett and Mr. E. J. Bar
nard, of Eric, Pa., ran away to Dunkirk, N.
Y., n few days ago and were married. There
was a storm on their arrival home, but the
parents forgave them on condition of t
marriage according to Pennsylvania law,
which was held. The love match was made
in u gkating rink, but when first made
known to Mirk Barrett's father lie would
not allow her to go. She went and was ter
ribly horsewhipped for her disobedience,
and for many days was in the hospital. She
ran away when she got well.
A Poston dispatch says: That tlie “mind

announcement that a building, to cost from
$60,000 to $100,000, it* to be erected by Mrs.

at an early day. Tho odifice, which is to
be styled a church, is to be located on St. >kin dteeanos.

In Marseilles, France, the other night
Mile. Ninoy, a young and beautiful actress,
acquitted herself so badly on the stago that
tho audience hissed her. Sho .wept and
pleaded for indulgence, protesting that she
was very ill. She was hooted off the stage.
She went straight home, where she was
found dead in bed next morning, having
died during the night from the effects of
tho illness of which she had complained.
Tho story of the poor girl’s misfortune
caused a sensation in Marseilles the next
day.
There was an exciting deer hunt in the
streets of Baltimore last Sunday. A two-
year-old buck escaped from the Druid Hill
park, and was chased by a number of boys
and a few stray dogs. The buck easily out
stripped his pursuers nnd turned into one
of the principal streets. Jlero the chase
was taken up by a number of men, who
sprang at tho deer * from doorways as the
frightened animal flew along. Suddenly a
man opened an umbrella in the face of the
animal, which turned and sprang through a
largo plate-glass window. Emerging from
tho store with blood streaming from his
neck and sides, the deer mada for tho water,
and took a flying leap of thirty-five feet
ovei the cabin of a boat. He was Anally
captured and returned.
