orations of the Treasury Department

for the year were $379,266,074, and the
net expenditures $267,924,801. The sur
plus receipts available for the reduc
tion < f the public debt are $111,341,273,

vious year. As compared with 1887 the
revenues were $7,862,797 greater and
the expenditures $7,378 less.

ring the year from $69,224,379 to $129,-

The Popular Vote.
Atlanta Journal.
It is now pretty satisfactorily ascer
tained that a majority of the popular
vote of the United States was cast for
the Cleveland and Thurman electors in
the Presidential election. The follow
ing table has been prepared by the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. It will be
seen that it gives the exact reported
majorities in all the Strtes except N e
braska, Kansas and Texas, and its
round numbers for these State corres
pond with the newspaper reports. No
figures are given for West Virginia, but
the most reliable reports from that
State claim a majority of fully 1,000 for
the Cleveland electors:

Hon W. Y. Atkinson has intro
duced a bill to amend the act creating
the Department of Agriculture, by re
quiring the Commissioner of Agricul
ture to be a practical farmer, to be elec
ted by the qualified voters of the State,
and to fix the term of office at two
years. He introduced a similar bill at
the last session of the Legislature,
■wMch was, we believe, defeated in the
Senate; butthere is a strong probability
that the present measure will pass
both branches of the Assembly.
The Times-Democrat says: “Therecan
be but little doubt that Cleveland has a
good popular majority, very close to
what it was four years ago. When it is
considered that in some of the States
the votes of the greenbackers were then
counted for him, as in Michigan, where
a fusion electoral ticket was agreed on,
it will be seen that he has considerably
increased his majority.”
THE DECEMBER MAGAZINES.
The December number of Harper's is
an exceptionally good one. It is the
Christmas number, and no effort has
been spared to make it meet expecta
tions. The originality of its pages is,
perhaps, most striking in the short sto
ries (the serial stories all ended in the
November number)—as in “The Christ
mas Story of a Little Church, ” by Grace
King, “Sosrus Dismal,” by W. W. Arch
er, and “The Front Yard,” by Miss
Woolson—this last being a: daring com
parison of Italian and New England
natures and ways. In poetry, too, the
number is exceptionally good. Artisti
cally, it has never been surpassed. *‘The
Last Mass” is - a story by Walter Be-
sant. The writer puts the narrative in
the mouth of a sweet English girl, who
tells of her love and her lover, of Queen
Bess, the Spanish fleet and an old Ro
man Catholic abbess, a relic of England
under the papacy. Those acquainted
with Mr. Besant’s style need no assur
ance that he has written a delightful
sketch. Mr. W. D. Howell’s farce, en
titled “A Likely Story,” is a rattling
comedy of errors, with the scene laid
around a charming breakfast-table and
the verandah of a country house.
There is always a Christmas flavor
about the departments of Harper's
Magazine for December, but it is impos
sible to avoid the suspicion this year
that the editor is trying hard to shove
his Easy Chair under the mistletoe, for
purposes best known to himself. Har
per Brothers, New York.
The Macon Tele'grapli, which has al
ways manifested a friendly interest in
Newnan’s welfare, places us under re
newed obligations for the following
kind notice:
Newnan, Georgia, is one of the com
ing towns of the State. By its own pub
lic spirit and enterprise it has within
the last year built a $100,000 cotton fac
tory, a $25,000 carriage factory and a
$5,000 wagon factory. Several other
manufacturing schemes are projected
and will surely be pushed to practical
success. In the vocabulary of Newnan
there is no such word as fail.
The editor spent an hour or two in
Newnan Monday afternoon. Every visit
to that city Shows some progressive ad
vancement. She is forging rapidly to
the front in manufacturing, and her
business is growing. It was foreordained
that Newnan should become an impor
tant city, but her citizens have recent
ly learned that they must work out
their salvation, and they have gone
diligently at it. The best investment
for a few thousand of Newnan’s sur
plus capital would be in building a rail
road to Franklin. A dummy line would
beat nothing.—FranIdin Neves.
It appears that eighteen Republican
members of Congress were elected from
the South at the recent election, as fol
lows: Kentucky 2, Maryland 2, North
Carolina 3, Virginia 2, Louisiana 1, Mis
souri 4, Tennessee 3, West Virginia 1,
and possibly more. If the Republicans
have a majority in the next Congress,
it will be a very small one, ranging
from three to nine, according to Repub
lican estimates. If a solidly Democrat
ic Congressional delegation had been
elected from rhe South, the Democrats
would control the next House.
The New Orleans Picayune says that
the South must look to manufacturing
as her road to future greatness. Un
doubtedly manufacturing builds up
cities and new towns, thus creating
home markets for farmers. This in
creases the value of our agricultural pro
ducts, and the price of our lands, and
fills up the country with a population
who, instead of competing with the
farmers, become their customers.
mon”-a familiar talk about happiness
and duty. The fiction of the number
is abundant, and each story is illustra
ted by an artist in sympathy with tne
author’s methods. Charles Scribner s
Sons, New York.
The December number of the Eclec
tic, which closes the forty-seventh vol
ume of the new series, is representative
of the established character of this
Magazine for sterling value and inter
est. The opening article is a striking
story entitled “Aut Diabolus aut Ni
hil,” which has excited great interest
in England and France. It is claimed
that the facts herein set forth were act
ually experienced by a Catholic abbeol
freethinking tendencies in Paris sever
al years since. Andrew Lang’s article on
“International Girlishness” discusses
the extreme sensitiveness to mutual
judgment existing between England
and America, though more intense on
the side of this country. Prince Krop-
otkine’s paper on “The Industrial Vil
lage of the Future” will be read with
deepest interest by all students of so-
cio-industrial problems. The Wagner
theories and practice in music are
fiercely attacked in a paper called “The
Wagner Bubble,” by J. F. Rowbotham.
Max Miller, under the head of “My
Predecessors,” has some interesting
words to say on the work of those who
have preceded him in his special lines
of investigation. One of the most in
teresting papers in the number to the
student of history is that by Principal
Donaldson, on “The Position of Wo
men in Ancient Rome.” Karl Blind, in
“Two Republics,” compares the politi
cal status of France to-day with Switz
erland, and makes some highly curious
and suggestive reflections. Baring
Gould tells us about the original of the
famous book “The Adventures of Baron
Munchausen,” and M. Blaze de Bury
talks in a highly entertaining way about
French Journalism and Journalists. In
the article “Some Literary Idolatries”
the author, Mr. William Watson,
writes suggestively concerning the
blind and unreasoning cant so preva
lent in the worship of certain great
names in literature. “Sketches of In
dian Life,” from Cornhill, contribute
vivid pictures of the Hindu and the
Government under which he lives.
Canon Taylor’s paper on “The Great
Missionary Failure” is a trenchant at
tack on the current methods of religi
ous propagandism in heathen lands,
an d assert s that mission ary enterprise
has totally failed in its mission. The
number contains several very readable
short papers and sketches, that on
“Paris at the Beginning of the Eigh
teenth Century” being peculiarly sug
gestive. E. R. Pelton, 25 Bond Street,
New York. Terms, $5 per year.
“Dunraven Ranch” is the name of
the new novel which Captain King con
tributes to the December Lippincott's
Magazine. “Cap.” King, like good
wine, improves with age. His stories
have more, and more body, his style
grows more and more effervescent and
brilliant, his animal spirits more and
more exuberant. “Dunraven Ranch” is
the best story he has yet produced. An
excellent full-page portrait of the au
thor appropriately decorates the'num
ber. It represents a fine, manly, and
soldierly face. A biographical sketch
by Lieutenant Philip Reade, who has
been King’s life-long friend, gives many
entertaining and thrilling episodes in
the life of tne soldier author. The seri
al “At Last: Six Days in the Life of an
Ex-Teacher,” by- John Habberton, is
full of humor and interest. “With the
Fruits and Wines,” by G. S. R., is a
sketch full of interesting information.
Thomas Leam has a valuable article on
“Trust and Title-Insurance Compa
nies,” in which the growth and devel
opment, the uses and possible abuses,
of these novel institutions are treated
from an abundance of knowledge. The
One Hundred Prize Questions are as
interesting as ever. Of the poetry, the
most notable is Edgar Saltus' “Imeros”
and a series of sonnet* by Amelie Rives,
“To all Women,” which will at
tract attention from their exquisite
beauty and purity, and their large-
hearted, tender love ami charity^ Tne
departments keep up their interest. J.
B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia.
Scribner's Magazine completes its sec
ond year and fourth volume with a
Christmas number containing nineteen
interesting articles in prose and verse-
twelve of them fully illustrated by
well-known artists and engravers.
Among the artists represented are Eli-
hu Vender, J. Allen Weir, W. Hamil
ton Gibson, John La Farge, Robert
Bluiu, George Hitchcock, C. Jay Tay
lor, and M. J. Burns. The number is
rich in beautiful decorations and pict
ures. The literature deals with unu
sually attractive phases of life ami art
especially fitted for the Christmas sea
son. The fiction includes stories of ad
venture and sentiment; the general ar
ticles treat of stained-glass windows,
the Adironacks in winter, and Botti
celli; there are several elaborately il
lustrated poems; aud Lester Wallack’s
reminiscences are concluded, Robert
Louis Stevenson. II. C. Bunner, Will
II. Low, Rebecca Harding Davis and
Hamilton Wright Mahie are among tin*
contributors. The magazine opens with
a picturesque description of “Winter in
the Adirondaeks,” by Mr. Mabie, who
appreciates “the flawless perfection of
form, delicate precision of outline, ex
quisite tracery of bough and twig,”
which make up the complex impression
of the woods in winter. Mr. Stevenson
concludes for this year his series of
monthly papers with “A Christmas Ser-

Gold in Coweta.
Mr. Editor:—A few days ago I was
on the Clarke plantation in the bend of
the Chattahoochee river, immediately
below McIntosh Reserve. I met Mr. J.
W.. Clarke and seeing him with a small
pick and some pans, I inferred that he
was out to make examinations for gold.
I had asked him heretofore what he
was doing in making tests for gold and
he appeared rather reticent about it,
but on asking the same question at this
time I found him more communicative.
In fact, he was inclined to talk about it
and to show me what he was doing. I
had heard a good deal of his finding
gold, and of his having work done to
develop it. I supposed that he had
found it at one locality only, and was
sinking a vast pit at that particular
place. I was therefore very much sur
prised to find that he had been finding
gold over a large area of ground—
about three hundred acres in extent, I
suppose, and in length about a mile
and a half—over which he had sunk
a number of shafts and dug tranches
and made many experiments. Under
lying this region are vast deposits of
gravel, from the size of a marble to that
of a man’s fist or larger, with edges and
corners all worn smooth by attrition.
In some places there are alternate stra
ta of earth and gravel; in others a con
tinuous mass of coarse gravel, in places
thirteen or fourteen feet through. In
all this gravel and contiguous dirt gold
is found. We made many washings of
this gravel and dirt, in various parts of
the regions referred to, and found gold
every time we made the test. The par
ticles being numerous, and some of
them small, it was impossible to count
them; but sometimes the particles were
very numerous. T was very much in
terested in those vast deposits of gravel
—the stones all rounded and worn
smooth, evidently by that attrition
that they would undergo in the current,
of a river. They were evidently depos
ited there by the river; iu fact, the riv
er must have run there at some time
and left these deposits in what was then
a vast basin, although many of these
beds'of gravel are forty or fifty feet
higher than the present bed of the riv
er. How long ago, and t>y what won
derful clia ges, all this was brought
about it is impossible to conjecture.
Mr. Clarke and myself spent nearly the
whole day in testing and washing for
gold at different places; and, although
I do not profess to know anything about
gold-digging or gold indications, yet,
from being decidedly skeptical as to the
success of gold.operations down there,
I have become convinced that there is
an immense fortune there if one-fiftieth
part of the gold can be obtained in a
successful and available way. 1 asked
Mr. Clarke why he did not associate
some person with him who was exper
ienced in gold mining and had means to
run the business extensively. He re
plied that he had received several prop
ositions, but they all contemplated his
parting with a* controlling interest,
which he did not wish to do. A con
trolling interest frequently lifts every
body else out, if the business proves
ver- profitable. Gold was first discov
ered on Mr. Clarke’s place by bis
daughter, Mrs. Homer Lewis, finding a
small nugget of it, which, on being test
ed and weighed, was found to be worth
184 cents. Mr. Clarke is having the
necessary machinery prepared, and
will soon be ready to run an extensive
mining business. I wish him great suc-
cess. T.
