J\dveqtmr and T. fl. STACt. and Proprietor. BRUNSWICK, r GEORGIA: SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 18, 1882. New Hampshire and Nebraska are the only States that elected Republi can Governors last week. A petition of the temperance peo ple of Georgia has been sent in to the Legislature. It is 200 feet long. It asks for probibitary measures. It seems that other places have ep idemic fevers'as well as we do. A NewYork dispatch says that Provi dence, R. I. has had somo coses of fe ver varying from malarial to typhoid. Emory Speer could not muster courage to face the people of Georgia any longer, so bos hied him away to pastures new—he has gone to Wash ington to live. Couldn’t old Dr. Fussy be induced to do likewise? In Florida Second District the con test between Finley, Democratic, and Bisbee, Republican, the vote bas been . very close, both parties declaring their candidate elected. Whoever gets the certificate will have his seat contested. In the recent election of first dis trict Col. Nicbolls received nearly 6,- 000 votes and Col. Atkins nearly 4,- 000. Col. Black two years ago re ceived 11,712 votes and Col. Collins 8,625. Seems like voters were more enthusiastic then than now. At a recent fair in Austin, Texas, a goose was exhibited that was claimed to be sixty-five years old. How the hotel keepers did stand around and wish for thnt choice bit of tender(?) toothsome fl> sh for their dainty board ers, but it could not be bought at any price. Baby insurance companies are be coming quite popular in Now Eng land. The lives of children from one to twelve years of age are insured to amounts not exceeding $250, the charge being a few cents weekly. It is expected that the business will be- como a profitable accompaniment of the baby farming industry. Atlanta's wood dealers cut up their wood with nxmen instead of by en gine and snw, claiming that the for mer is fifty per cent, cheaper. Stove wood cost only seventy-five cents per cord for cutting it up and fireplaeo wood tbirty-fivo cents. Labor must bo cbenp in that county. . Governor-elect Butler of Massa chusetts has been saying somo very complimentary things about tho Southern people in his lato speeches. —Atlanta Pout-Appeal. •Let him first return those spoons ho borrowed (?) in New Orleans du ring the ‘late unpleasantness.’ That’s business. -».••«- Of the threo hundred and twenty- five mon who have been elected mem-, bers of the House of Representatives in tho Forty-eighth Congress, one hundred and seventy-oight, or more than one-half, are not members of the Forty-seventh Congress. With very few exceptions they nro now men.— Two- of them have served in the United States Senate, and half a doz en or so have been members of the House in previous Congresses. This large proportion of new men will give the House a peculiar character. From the report of Captain J. W. Nelms, keeper of the Georgia peni tentiary, we glean the following facts: There were on the prison lists Octo ber 20th, 1880, 180 convicts, and from that Oate to October 20, 1882, 638, making a total of 1,724. There have l»ee!i 324 discharged, 100 pardoned, 26 escaped and 22 deaths. Thnt leuves now in the penitentiary 1,243 convicts. Of that number 1,130are colored and the remainder at whites. Thert> »re 112 white males and one white female; 1,100 colored males and 30 colored females. The oldest Con vict is 78 ami Hie youngest 12 years old. The income from the penitenti ary is $25,000 per annum, out of which are paid the expedites of the de partment. The price per capita per annum is $20 11. BIIjC, ARP ON THE OLD BUTS. Shott outs or new roads to acquire power or fame or money or happiness or to get to heaven are against the or der of nature. The old beaten track that ofir fathers laid ont when folks were honest and unpretending is still the only road that is safe. Mr. Dar win banted diligently a whole life time/or a new theory about the origin of man and he thought he had found it when be gave us baboons for an cestors, but there nre baboons in the world still and why they Laven’t been developing into men Mr. Darwin couldn't explain, and so bis life long theory died with him. Bob Ingersoll made a splendid departure in religion —his new theory came up like the comet and like the comet is passing away. Mr. Beecher has made a good many departures and ever and anon gets out of the old ruts and tries new ones, but sooner or later he gets back and jogs along in harmony and peace. The Mormons are coming to grief and spiritualism is already dead and jesso it is in politics. When a man gets of fice bv force or fraud or new cuts he overleaps himself and sooner or later will fall on the other side. Hayes is politically dead and Arthur is in the last agonies and Mahone will follow suit in due time. I was thinking of all this when the knell of the Georgia Independent was rang last Wednes day morning. The new departure of impatient and aspiring men paid very well iu the short ruu, but it didn’t pay in the loDg. No man can serve two masters, no man can ride two horses, except a circus man, and he can’t rido ’em long, and it keeps him awfully straddled and painfully fatty- gued while ho is at it. The wear and tear on a man who is trying to run with the bare and bark with the hounds, trying to court the Demo crats and coquette with tha Republi cans and fool tbe niggers nil at the same time must be awful. It takes a mighty smart man to do it once and a smarter one to do it twice, but no man can succeed ut it more than three times, for the people, though slow, are sure nnd by and by they will get tired just like we get tired of a showman's tricks whether we under stand them or not. Tho old way is tho best way, whether a mnn gets an oflice or never gets an office, for it is far^betfer to stay at home forever thni) to take a short cut on an Inde pendent line for office. * 1IO FOR WASHINGTON ! The wires Hushed us the tidings Inst Wednesday that ex-Govprnor Col quitt hnd been elected Senator to U. S. Congress for tho long term and Hon. I’opo Barrow, of Athens, for tbe short term. Tho news was received herewith very littlo enthusiasm, as the minds of all were pretty well made up beforehand ns to tho result. As between Messrs. Barrow nnd Hill, public sentiment hereabouts was iu favor of tho former, but not so in the contest between Messrs. Colquitt, An derson, Jackson and Black. With most of our people wo think Mr. Jackson was the fuvorite, whilst Gov. Colqnitt and Mr. Anderson had warm supporters each, especially the former. Col. Block no ono seem's to tako any stock in. For our part, we preferred Mr. Jackson, believing him to be the best man for tbe position, but tbe Legislators thought differently, so we gracefully yield nnd congratulate bis ex-Excellency on the results of his race. We are candid to confess that iu Senator Colquitt we believe our port will have a staunch friend iu tbe matter of federal appropriations. The Men Who Judge. The election of judges for the vari ous judicinl circuits of Georgia took plnce last Saturday. The following is the result: Welsern circuit, N. L. Hutchins. Brunswick circuit, M. L. Mershon. Ocmolgee circuit, Tims. G. L.twaop. Middle circuit, R. W. Carswell. Pataula circuit, John T. Clarke, Eastern circuit, A. Pratt Adams. The Judge for the Northeastern cir cuit has not been elected up to this writing. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS. By the middle of January next a large jnejority^pf the Gubernatorial chairs in this country will be occupied by Democrats. Tbe seventh of No vember made thirteen gentlemen of that political stripe -Chief Executives of theft States as follows: General 8toneman in California; J. B. Grant, Colorado; T. M. Waller, Connecticut; C. C. Stockley, Delaware; G. W. Glick, Kansas; B. F. Butler, Massachusetts; J. W. Benzole, Michigan; J. W., Ad ams, Nevada; Grover Cleveland, New York; R. E. Pattison, Pennsylvania; H. S. Thompson, South Carolina; W. B.' Bate, Tennessee; John Ireland, Texas. That was truly a disastrous day to Gubernatorial aspirants. There were already Democratic Chief Executives in Alabama, Arkan sas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,Mary land, Mississippi, Missonri, New Jer sey, North Carolina and West Virgin- So that with the new list added, Democratic Governors will preside over 24 of the 37 States. Only two Republican Gubernatorial nominees were successful on date mentioned— S. W. Hale, in New Hampshire, and James W. Dawes, in Nebraska. Washington, November, 11.—The government people who wofct away to vote are returning to tbe city. They come back a very sad lot of men.— They were possessed ofnone too much joy when they went away. They are surrounded as they come back to work by associates who did not go away to cast tbeir ballots, and are beseeched to explain bow it aU happened.— Strange to say, they do not care to talk much on the subject. They re flect the official sentiment of Wash ington. In government life Washing ton is the saddest city ever seen. You could cut the gloom with a knife.— And the plainer becomes tbe over whelming defeat as later returns sweep away each lingering hope bar- bored in trusting breasts, and the deeper becomes tbe shadow hanging over the employes of the government. GOOD ADVICE.. Reporter: “What can the Demo crats do to be successful iu the next Presidential election?” Gov. Butler: "Carry out the princi ples of Jefferson and Jackson; enact, whenever they have an opportunity, a judicious turiff; bring down every kind of taxation to tho lowest possi ble point consistent with defraying the most economical expenditure of tho public money; take in hand tho monopolies which uro raising tho prico of provisions and tho necessaries of life; leave all local questions of gov ernment to the several .States and show, by their moderation, economy and statesmanship, that they are fitt ed to govern, and the people will give their government a long series of years as they gave it to their fathers.' The yellow fever iu Pensacola has been declared at an end, but absen tees aro advised to stay uway for a while. M avoh’s Office, Leesburg, Va., April 17, 1879. Messrs. Hutchinson rt- /fro.: It af fords uic. pleasure to testify to the great virtues of your "Neuralgine” for the cure of neuralgia and sick head uche.
