Can’t we do even better than that ? ’"' The steamship City of Aognata made her last trip from her wharf in New York to her wharf in Sjaypnoab in forty-nioe and one-quarter boors —the quickest time yet. Governor Stepheus fell behiod bis ticket 57,604 votes. Colonel Barnett receivdd 118,861, beating bis compete or 92,635 votes.

Tbe Atlanta Constitution ia raisiug a hue and' cry; because tbs manage ment of tbe Richmond & Danville B. R. is qontemplfMpg running only one train over its line daily, and because the Weet Point rpad dpea not adapt its trains to the present publication of that paper, and winds up by sag gesting that tbe |«ople petition tbe authorities to act differently. It says th it whilst railroads “won’t l>e bul lied” they nre always overcome by “petitions based on reason and publio oonvenieucc.” Gov. Colquitt iu bis retiring mee- sage to tbe Legislature says: “The mortuary rate io our State in prisons, we believe, is without a par allel. This rate iif les* tbau one per cent is below that of any other State whose reports are accessible to na.«— Tho reform rate estimated by tbe number of convicts returned to tbe S rison, is not over 'oar per cent., and lese results have been achieved with out coat to tbe State.

Ttao'innph citur/ot be said in praise of the Atlanta Consist utinn for tho en terprise evinced in securing on the night of tho election, rendy for tlie next morning's paper, the eutire re turns of the 7th mid 9th districts, over Which so much interest had been manifested, owing to tho popularity of Felton and Spear, the two Inde pendents. Heretofore it has taken weeks to henr from some of tho re- rnoto counties of the 9th awny over the mountains. Here is the plan adopted.'! In each county a man was sib'lotted wilh couriers .at each .pre cinct. These latter brought the tid ings to tbe chief and he consolidated the same and then pnt out for the railroad, horseback, with from two to six relays of horse (the man from Pickens having to ride 43 miles in tbe dark over a mountainous road) and delivered the same to a special train, which, after collecting all the returns, took them to tbe nearest telegraph station. At one point where the train did not reach, a telegraph office waa improvised for .the aingle dispatch.— Such journalistic enterprise is worthy tbe men who ait at the helm of tbe Constitution.

KU HER ONE OH THE OTH Ell. Every time the Legislature convenes now-a-days the first thing we hear ■poken of is that tbe Legislature will A-ljourn until some pleasauter weath er—next summer for instance. Now, we submit that this is all wrong—rad- ically wrong. If Atlanta ia so bleak that tbe members can’t keep warm there, let ns select a warmer place fur the capital, or else let iis change .the time of;meeting through tint juediu n of a constitutional convention. Thirty regular Irani* pass Way- cross daily. Tweui\'-i>*o ou theS. F. A W. ami eight on -I.,- B. it A. load. There are in the Lunatio Asylum of the State 979 patients, this number exceeding by 100 tbe proper capacity of the institution. On the 1st of Oc tober, 1881, there were 906 patients. Received since, 257; discharged and died, 184. Tbe average number un der treatment was 942. Tbe whole number cared for was 1,163. The whites were 729 and tbe colored 250. Tbo deaths nnraberd 82. Tbe appro priation for 1882 was $125,000, and from 1881 there was a balance of $35,886 85, making w total of $160- 386 85, of which $131,388 90 has been expended, leaving a balance on band, October 1, 1882, of $28,997 95. The daily cost of tbe maintenance of each patient was 38j| cents. The nnm of $165,431 Was appropriated lor en larging the asylum, of which $46,000 was need, leaving unexpended $119,- 431. The sum drawn was expended in tbe construction of a hospital for the colored insane, leaving $1,573 79 of tbe $150,000 on baud. The main building for the colored patients now in process of construction, will contain 500 rooms. A number of tbe rooms will be occupied in Maroh, and the wbolo completed and occupied during tbo next spring. The building now occupied by colored patients, upon tbo completion of the new structure, will .afford room for 220 white pa tients. This accommodation is great ly heeded, as thero are now 200 ap plicants pressing for admission who cannot be accommodated. ■ FENCE OU NO FENCE. Among the important questions be fore tho Legislature will he that which heads this article. A big .-(Tort is be ing made to ciirry lit- “no fence*’ measure—which mentis, in brief, fence your stock and not your fields. Iu tho upper and. middle portions of the State, such a law would be good, but in tho “wire-grass” regions wo nro decidedly of tho opinion that the measure would not work. Through out u largo portion of this section numbers of men depend more on their stock than on their furuis, tbe lunds being -low and marshy, uud, conse quently, unfit tor fanning purposes. We hope tho Legislature will act wise ly iu this matter, and not put a hard ship upon- any of our people. In thickly settled sections the law will be a good one. Macon Telegraph says: "They de serve attention, because they exist here and iu onr immediate section Oat of 14 consecutive homicides in this county, 12 are to be traced to in toxicating liquors. Out of 673 con secutive cases before our municipal court, 603 grew out of intoxicating liquors. In Honaton county there has been for yeara an average of 50 eases hctiue tbe grand jury each term At the last term (the first since their local prohibition law) there were on ly about 15. Io one county in Judge Merabon’s circuit, in which formerly there were, on an average, three or four homicides each year, there has been, for tbe past seven years, daring which local prohibition baa been in force, but one homicide. In one county in Judge Hanselt's circuit, iu which the criminal docket formerly consumed a week, local option has reduced the time required for that docket to the pari of uue day.” Col. Rawls will probably not con test the seat of Senator Meldrim. At hast, he hns given no notification of his intern ion so to no, ns the law di- eotr.
