They see that he insnlta their intelligence by ap peals to ignorance and prejudice, and stu diously avoids answering the legitimate and proper questions asked by the press and bis truthful opponents. They are disgusted with seeing General Gordon, headed by a brass band, invade a county on the day of au election, and Are also alarmed at the free aud indiscriminate nso of money in the campaign. The convincing arguments and g entlemanly campaign of Major B.icou is living a good effect, and the voters are fast raltyiog around his standard. His fr ends, too, are now thoroughly organized, and will not lose ary more counties by inactivity.

W HITNELD, “Saving Carolina.” The Greenville News is rather amused and dirgnated ut General Gordon's Valdosta speech.

The editor of tbe Newa heard Hampton ,ay that a con- venation he bad with l’reaident Hayes did the woik. The editor add,: "Senator Hampton (then Governor) went to Washington andeaw and talked with Mr. Haye, and warned him that no Republican government could be established or main tained in this State; that an official recog nition of Chamberlain would ha the signal for the people to break out and that every Republican would be banged inside of twenty-four hours. “Our interest in the Georgia campaign is Isagnid, but it is somewhat irritating to have General Gordon parading around as the savi >r of South Carolina, putting tho peaple of tbe State in a position of children or weaklings who could have done nothing without his mighty help. “We have cried aloud and often for a bill of particulars of tbe great services done this State by General Gordon, of which he and hi> friend* talk oe much. The above is the first answer we have hod, and it condenses the whole business into one brief conversa tion with H.yes." We have no doubt of the troth ot Ibis statement Neither do we doubt that but for tbe active, xealoue aud sabHtantial aid given Hampton by the people of this part of Georgia, Chamberlain and not Hampton would have had that interview witn Hayes, de-pite of Lord Cardinal Gordon.—Angnsta Chronicle.

It was known long before tbe war. when the youth and beauty of the State often assembled in its parlors. It was in tbe old Lanier House that all the campaigns ware planned, and many a political movement was schemed in Its rooms. In those days tbe South wa« rich and socla* events were numerous.

The Democrat calls Mr. Bacon's Craw* ford villa speech “a powerful speech by a powerful man." To-day’s vote will place Gordon further in the lead, bat the Telsobapb of to-mor row week will show a change that will speak for itself. The Banner-Watchman says: “Why does tbe Gordon club in Atlanta pay some of its debts with checks on tbe First National Bank of New York? Is not this bank the depository of a certain railroad king?" The backbone and sentiment of the coun try is certainly at a very low ebb. aajs the Waynesboro Citizen, when the beat argu ment made by a gubernatorial candidate is tbe rattle of the drum and the bray of the trumpet. It is a significant fact that Mr. Bacon has been through two exciting and exhaustive campaigns without being attacked by slander or charges cf any kind, And that ao soon as he meets General Gordon in a political contest he is overwhelmed with filthy lies and slanders. Tbe Oglethorpe Echo omIcs: “Can there be any higher recommendation of a man than tho tact that he has been in public life for almost a score of years, before the people ah a candidate six, and yet not a blotch upon his public or private life? Snch is Major Bacon, whom we deem it an honor to support." The Albany News says: The chief point, so far, made against Bacon is bis ambition to be Governor.

Behind him is tbe centralized power of the commonwealth, with headquarters at Atlanta, plethoric with “boodle" and apt in imitation and practice of tbe electinneedng method* that have made politics of Northern communities “smell to hesven.” Intimidation is part of the monstrona programme. Men calling themselves free agents, in every county have been selfishly silenced. Wnat Con gressman dare openly avow himself a Gor don or Bacon man?

It is a striking illus tration of tbs popular estimation of actentiflo senders that tho dispatches from Munich sbcmld hare laid so great a stress upon the death of tho King and to little upon thnt of ihw Doctor. Dr. von Guddcn w*a probably tho foremost man of echoes in Bavaria, and foremost among tlui foremost in all Ger many. 11s was by no manner of means a mere keeper of tho King, aa h >mo of our contemporariia scorn to believe. If the King was tn his charge, his Majesty was in tho csre u sovereign of tho tmo sanjra azul -tho blue blood of brain such hh tho reigning bouse of lUvoria never had within tle'reo called royal ikulls. It U a great muiortuiio that so valuable a life as that of Dr. von Gudden should ever have been placed st the mercy of so arrant a madman a~i the King, and this not only becauso a scholar to original and indefatigable hod well earned a right lo Lfe and its enjoyments, but also because be bas loft behind un- finUhed atndiis of groat importance. Dr. von Gudden h*tl devised an ing» noaa method of investigating the function* of tho brain. This method required careful plnhiological experiment upon oxiUulU, careful prepara tion of the brain of these an i Dials, after deAth, and then still fntber carefal micro scopic examination.
