"Have the The New York Herald asks people any rights?” None whatever. The politicians and ringsters have taken them all away. Frank K. Foster, who has been nomi nated for Lieutenant-Governor for the Dem ocratic party of Massachuseets, is one of the foremost workers and thinkers in the Knights of Labor. Tsbss hundred of the delegates in the Massachusetts Democratic State Convention expressed their presidential preferences for 1838, and of these 230 were for Cleveland and 37 for Governor Hill. Richmond, Va., mourns the deAth of one of her best citizens, W. S. Gilman. Pleas ant memories of him go back with us to tho days of tho war. His reward was small in comparison to his usefulness and his honest, unselfish life. The bread tray having been vindicated, •we shall probably yield to the entreaties of 'friends to withdraw it from the State fair, and exhibit it at the World’s Exposition in Washington, at the Constitutional Centen nial, aud at the celebration of tho discover) of America by Columbus. Blue ribbons await it. win n« Pimp? Mr. Cleveland is solemnly pledged to the country to "fillip” (to use his own expres sion) any pernicious partisan out of office, who has been engaged in political primaries and conventions. More than one order has been promulgated on this particular point. The country has abundant reason to ac knowledge thn "amiable obstinacy,” m it has been put by Mr. Cleveland’s admirers whenever he determines to do anything. Upon this filliping business considerable attention has been bestowed of late by the press of all sectious and of all shades of polit ical opinions. The Mugwumps have de manded immediate and sweepiug action as to all offenders. Tho Democrats have only asked that the punishment ahull not be con fined to one Htate or to one set of offenders. The country, in the meantime, has become interested in the matter. The people are curious to see if Mr. Cleveland has the nerve to smash tho machine by which he was nominated. Mr. Edgerton, civil service commission er, is quoted as having announced that "President Cleveland is going to turn every man out of office who has violatod civil ser vice law or disregarded his order pertaining to the participation of politics.” The Washington correspondent of tho Louisville Cornier, is responsible for this: Tbero Is a stir amo&£ Louisian* politicians aud office-holders.

The President has decl*r d since the cane came up that he would summarily dicated by the New York Star In an editorial, the United States marshal, is a brother of Senator Gib son. The outcome of the matter is awaited with much interest both here and In Louisiana. Per ooutra, the Washington correspond ent of the New Orleans Picayune, who has unusual facilities for gaining correct infor mation, promulgates this rather soothing utterance, which may be regarded oa Homi- official: The publications in certain uewspapera repre senting the President a;* very much excited ovor the alleged presence of some Louisiana office hold 's at a late Congressional convention are rather itiBMtiuuai. The subject is not creating any very profound agiutiou in this city at this time. It may move in moderate degree some gentlemen who have aspi rations for office for themselves or their friend.*, hut these would do well to possess their soul-i in patience and take the world as they fled it. At a convivial meeting at Delmonico’s a Ms, kis-.es her, as I do now. There. She day or two since General ‘Comp’ Sherman said in the course of his speech, "life is uncertain, and I am uncertain.” Well, if life is as uncertain as the General, one item of the Dational expense list will be cut off io long. The Springtietd liepublican says: "It is nothing new that Sherman wants the silver dollar made bigger. It would have to be at least 500 grains to equal in value the gold dollar. They would be nice for quoits, bat not for money.” No man can sti ve two masters. When the experiment is tried one of the masters generally gets lett. As a general thing the master thut gets left is old populi, whose plaintive voice is so often heard in tho land. The verdict of tho country is that the Illi nois man who lied about Jeff Davis, and the Iihuois man that weighed out powder while smoking a cigar ought to have had guar dians appointed for them years ago. It is said that Chicago has a big fund in hand from the collections which followed her fire, estimated at moro than a million and a half. The demand is made that some be given to Charleston.

We are reliably informed that Colonel •Joel Billups id a candidate for judge of the Oomulgco circuit. Without disparagement to Messrs’.

Nor is this the perfunctory com* pliment of which the press is so often and so justly accused. We say it as a matter of justice nf a man who would honor the Htate in the highest office within the gift of the people. Colonel Billups is a lawyer of npe and in telligent judgment, of acknowledged ability and largo experience. To a judicial mind he i dds un even temperament, and the honesty aud integrity of tho man as well hs his qua ideations for the position, will com mend him to the Leahlattire. Tho people of Macuo, where Colonel Billups lived for years, and who know his wurtb, would much ratherseohim Governor than judge of the Ocmulgee circuit.

A committee reported thut Mr. Jouea u expected to t ommenco work ■bout the 1st of January next, under tho auspices of the Methodist Episcopal pas- -tors, who have invited the Baptists, with others, to enter into the work with them. Id closing the committee says: "We doubt > if the members of this conference can, with a due regard to the best interests of the lie- dtemer's kingdom, unite in this call and wotk.

We reiterate that the Confederate govern mint, after a careful examination of all Southern cities, s- lected Mncon, because ot its health and miltouJ facilities, for the In. cation of its factories for small arms, con non and other munitions of war. Han dreds of thonsamlB of dollars wore spent upon buildings, and had the Confederacy been successful, twenty millions cf dollars would have followed. The Methodists selected Macon as the' education il centre because of its health position aud railroad facilities. The Baptists selected Macon for their educational centre because of its health position and railroad facilities. The Catholics selected Macon for their educational centre because of its health, position and railroad facilities. It is too late now for anybody in Geor gia to dispute Macon’s dsim to centrality in material wealth, in railroad mileage, in population aud her ciaim to superior health fulness.

A few days ogoihe general superintendent I of the Elev.tted road placed an old engine til the disposal of Inventor Bradley, who had I dovisitd a burner by which crude potroloum I could be used as fuel. He was (!• siroui of 1 giving his schemo a ' practical, severe I test iu drawing a train of cats over the I road. Tho hurner was a little meUl I drum about six inches long and ns muchia diamcb r. It was placed in tho fire-box, and to it was carried a quarter-inch pipe to supply sttam from the boiler, whilo another similar pipe curried the crude oil from a barrel wmeb was perched upon the coat-hex of the engino. Tne oil entered the lover end of thbcylinder, wLilo the s:r«m ciue 1 in from tho t-ide to an enveloping jictet and escaped hy livo smull uozzles at the upper end of tho cylinder as it rested tn th# i box.
