State than has been known since 1H71.
Tennessee has followed with a fair sprink
ling of Republicans, white and black, in the
face of a large Democratic majority. It ia
too soon to predict as to Georgia, but signs
of “unrest" are beginning to crop out here
and there.
The outrageous action of the late State
convention in relation to the delegates from
the county of Bartow has already resulted
in the announcement of Independent can
didates for the Legislature from that connty.
Ur. Davidson, selected for the presidency
of the Senate, and for Governor
in the event that General Gordon
shall be seized with another resigning fit,
for cause, is confronted with independent
opposition in his district.
There seems to be quite a stir in Fifth
Senatorial distriettover the race for Sena
tor. Mr, B. F. Sirmans, of Clinch, was
nominated under the majority rule, and
Col. McDonald, of Ware, U an Independent
against him.
This will be admitted as a pretty fair rec
ord, considering that the campaign is but a
few days old.
The interesting question is, can the Gor
don managers suppress the mutiny before
it becomes epidemic? Can they enrb this
spirit of Indepcndentism before it spreads
ami impairs the discipline and nmty ot the
Democratic organization? We shall see.
The late convention was claimed to havo
been large. We noticed that one county
had forty-five men to cast fonr votes. Per
haps quality may have been sacrificed to
quantity. There were said to be many

A correspondent of the Courier-Journal
writes:
About two weeks before Pearson was appointed
postmaster In Now York city by Cleveland, your
correspondent, who was visiting Oreystone, asked
Mr. Tilden whom he thought the President woull
appoint postmaster of New York.
He whispered: “He will Appoint Pearson.”
I replied: “Is it possible that he will appoint a
Eepublican to au office like this, with all of ita
vast patronage?”
He said: “It ia more than prtbable, nearly certain,
that he wiU do it.”
I aaked him if ho would not regard thta as a mis
take. He said that it would be a serious mistake,
butihst Mr. Cleveland would make many such
mistakes before the close of his administration.
This will pass for prophecy now, and
stands against the assertion that the great
wrong done the country, tho Democratic
party and Mr. Tilden has beenareeged.
Mr. Cleveland'» admiuletratiou so far may
be classed as a bundle of mistakes, some
trifling, others serious but thero is time
and margin to reduce the average.
Well Done.
The people of Baldwin oonnty are to be
congratulated in the poeeaslon of a jury
that was not afraid to mete ont justice to
aiik IlUuipuiiea, the murderer of EUa
Humphries and Carrie ltaines. His crime
was one of singnlar brutality
and ferocity. Bonnd by Bacred
ties to respect, honor and
protect those estimable ladies, he enticed
them from their homes, violated the trust
they reposed in him, snd murdered them in
cold blood. It is not likely that his crime
began or ended with the death of his vic
tims.
In these days of mock insanity and
wavering jnries, it is encouraging
note the fact that twelve men
can be found who will Btand np and call
murder by its proper name and deliver over
the gnilty to be dealt with os the law pro
vides.
The effect of this conviotion will he at
once beneficial and will long remain a guar
antee that depravity shall not pass for in
sanity in Baldwin connty.

The Philadelphia ltecord toys:
electric light costs on on average 52 cento
per night; a policeman is paid $1.33 per day
or night; so that nine electric lights cost
lesa than two policemen. Some police
oAidals say that one electric light ia oagond
os one policeman in disreputable neighbor
hoods. While there may be some dispute
as to tbe correctness of thtt proposition
will hardly be denied that in a densely
populated district nine electric lights would
do better police service than would two
ditional men.”

candidates of their own and fight tbe battle on their
own hook. If anything Is to be done for tbe cause
of prohibition in any of the larger Middle 8tates
the temperance man must do It aa a distinctive
organization. The Republicans are tht ir natural
sllte*. and would gladly give their cause an occa
sional lift If they could do It without arraying
against themselves the large c!a*e of thinking men
who care little or nothing for liquor while they do
use wiue and beer tu moderation, but who will not
conaeut to be legally res rained In the matter ot
diet.
The liquor Internet Is naturally allied to the Pern-
ocrat'c party, and tha Republicans care vary Uttle
about tha hostility of those who represent it, but
tbo German element has been largely with the other
side, and it is on account of these beer-drinking
allies tbat the Republicans will not commit them-
selvae to the prohibition principle where there are
many voters of this class to be lost by such a coall
tion. The problbltionUta are tired of waiting on a
party whose only help has been tn magnificent
promises made only to tickle the ear with no set-
tl *\ purpose of fulfillment.
Tbe Democrats have had their offshoots during
tha last few years, and lf the labor unions, as they
now threaten, set uphpeclal candidates of their own
in the oomlng fall, this party will find tha loaa of
tha labor vote the moat Important defection they
have experienced for a quarter of a century. How
strong tha falling away will bo cannot yat be deter
mined, bnt lf the canvaM la well managed tbe
labor candidates will undoubtedly poll a large vote.
The first eeeey will probably prove the most vigor

The Augusta Presbytery will meet on the 12th of

Wm. Adams, of Augusta.
This eearion of the Presbytery will bo an lute rest

by Dr. Woodrow, an address will bo delivered by
Rev. Dr. J'almage. the famous Brooklyn preacher.
Tho presence of Dr. Talmage at such a quiet corner

If tbo writer is correct in his judgment of tho rar

avia, a thinking woman? There Is uo denying tho
fact that the majority of women seldom reason at
all, and their opinions are held In light esteem be
cause of the generally conceded fact that those who
do not jump at conclusions “take them by rebound
from others as beat suits their vanity or their lazi
ness.” The blunders that aro made In both publio
aud private circles—those which turn the peace
find harmony of social intercourse Into discord,
causing the public stigma to rest upon tho entire
sex “that women can never work together
without quarreling”—arise mainly from the
lack of thougbtully forming their own
opinions, and thoroughly analyzing the justness
ind truth of the opluions of others. We women,
( from iudolouce or mailce, refuse to investigate
every aide of a question, or get at tha foundation of
a truth or a falcehood by the tedious process of ex-

Hence the old say ing: “Falsehood files and truth
comes limping alter it,” so that when men come to
be undeceived It ie too late; the jeat Is over aud tho
tale has had Its effect. If a lie be bellevtd only for
an hour it has done its work, says that satirist
dwiit, and he saya another good thing which it
would be will to remember: “Considering that
n dural disposition In many men to lie and In mul
titude* to believe, I have been perplexed what to do
with that maxim so frequent In everybody’s mouth
that truth will at last
stopped to think that in each of ua there ia a rhsr-
scterUtlc something which distinguishes ua from
every other being In tho anlveise? And although
we are only a mote on the sunbeam of existence, a
mere atom in this vast creation, we each have a
distinctive representation on the broad plat
form ot the world, for which we are alone
responsible. 1* not this selfhood worthy to be en
shrined, tbat wu may watch It and guard it against
he. errors of judgment, wrong-doing and evil-
ansoklbg? It wm never intended that we should
think aud act abl e, hence we are amenable only to
God and ourselves a* to the stewardship of this sa
cred trust, our o«u personality. Have a care, sis
ter friend, how you use it, aud do not alt Iu judg
ment when you can never discover what controls
action, what origuiatea thought, or what accidents
make or maralifo.
Perhaps It is not assuming too mnch to say that
hair tha trials that women complain of are Imagin
ary out*, whil", from a want or thought as to their
roal insignificance, they keep themselves in lgno-
ranee ot the real blessing* In thelolife, and, iu tho
hope of eavlng themselves the humiliation of think-
logoud arraigning themselves before the Hpartan
tribunal of tb< lr oa n conscience*, was to many pre
cious hours In useless complaining, and In their
dboontent become a source of annoyance to others
aud make life a burden to thrum lv«a.
The most dl»c«rntent*d women tn the world are
thoee who, having no rraourcee In themselves, find
everything abo* t them flat, stale and unprofitable,
while the happiest our* are those whognjoy the de
lights of study and thought, and at tha same time
fulfill their duties to their family aud household. If
I could minister to a mind diseased. 1 would say to
the dlacontented ours they could find a panacea for
many Ilia tbat feminine minds are heir to In tha
reading and study of good bo< ks.
Tbe great advantage to be derived from reading is
not wholly an intellectual one. It uotouly educates
the mind hut warms tbe heart, quickens the sym
pathies by strengthening the uuderstandiug, aud
give* claarneaa and breadth of vision which takra
us o^ t cf onr narrow an* roundings, and with it*
refining and ennobling Inflnenoe gives us wisdom
in, Its truest and moe comprehensive sense. Tbe
Ideal and real life, the beautiful aud the
useful, con be ao ordarwl, that our
every day duties ore not neglected, and we
can easily devote at least a few hours each
day to tbe pursuit of general self-culture. Our per
sonal surroundings have so much Influence over
our thoughts, our character, oar temper, and even
of the style of our manners, tbat It should be tbe
special care of the women of a hoimhold, lf their
working 1* to be aen^ceaa, not to fall into the error
of try Nig to Imitate others, bnt simply to represent
themselves. The effort to extract your quota of
"sweetness and light” from your surroundings
must re.t alone with yourselves, aud your success
depend* npon your own individual exertions. It
is astonishing what perseverance and determina
tion rnn do, and what power it gives ua to win oth
ers to one way of thtnklug, and lusteodof accepting
others' opinions you may hope by Integrity and
firmness of purpose to evolve even from the moat
cannot be enumerated.

labor party design to do in tho good days coming,
according to their book ot prophecies, when all
political power wUl be in their hands. Once
counted ont or the other parties and under a dis
tinct organization of their own they would have no
claim ou their former polittlcsl allies, and there
would no longer be any excuse for tho contempti
ble sycophancy exhibited toward them by the time

A rude orator, speaking the other diy for the un-
a-, declared that n labor candidate for mayor
coot i be elected in this city, if hie party eonld be
nuited on the selection, and that they need not look
tar in their rauks to find a more efficient honest
aud acceptable rhkf magistrate than the prevent
incumbent. Whatever question there msy te tu
regard to th* flr»t clause of Lie assertion, th* lyter,
we think, will command the general assent oft the
K *»llc of all partita. The present unseemly sqBeb-
over the spoil* of pa ronage Is. perhaps, a fit
ending of an administration that has greatly taxed
the forbearance of all good citizens.
Beyond th* promised defections already noticed

ardently desire a change, and any attempt to re-elect
the present mayor will be met by the decided oppo
sition ot the beat men of all rlsssee.

The repotted intention of Minister Cox
to rotoro to CoL^reaesional life has set peo
ple to talking about him awaj back iu tbe

and when Owen Lovejov was a member
from Illinois. Senator Voorbee* relate*
that one day Lovejoy mode one of hit char-
octeristio speechtn. It w:is in a degree
personal to Cox, and it irrittaed him the
more because Lov#-joy, who wag a large
man physically, hurt entoringly alludt-d to
the itataro ot tbe Ohio member. When
Cox got tbo floor to reply he made a very
bilef bat withering speech, repelling th«
imputation on huphTrical proportioni, aud
concluded with the following verse, which
he dedicated as a fitting epitaph to tho
Illinois Xu* mber:
