’
tho Sixth Dktrict, Mr. ILninl came
very near losing (ho uoniiaaliou in
the last contest and now having an¬
tagonized that influential journal,the
Telegraph and Masinger, that paper
proposes to see that Mr. Blount re
tires from public life at tho expira¬
tion of lsia present term.
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati AYics Journal has til)
idea that there are a good many
fools among the fashionable society
of tho national capital. In a recent
letter he says; ‘Tf it wero put to v
vote to day two-third.! of the fashion
ab o s-ociety of XVashiugior., male and
female, would vote for a monarchy,
and titles and stars and garters.”
The Georgia Legislature killed
several of iho most important bills
that eama before it, v>/,, the bill to
establish a school of technology, to
tax dogs, a general stock law, (he lo- 1
cal option bill and a bill to prevent
the breaking of contracts. Evident¬
ly tho present legi Atiuro ia afraid to
tackle matters of general interest for
foar they will lose (heir scats in the
uoxt election or wiii cripple their
chances for becoming congressmen
and Supreme Court Judges.
I-r was the intention of Gov. Mo
Daniel to appoint Mr. J. F. Hanson,
cf Macon, cue of tho capitol cem
missioaerg, but the strong opposi¬
tion to this gentleman on the part
of Kouator Qustiu and representa¬
tives Lofton and Bartlett and Con¬
gressmen Blount caused tho Govern¬
or to name another gentleman. Mr.
H-iuson, iti our opinion, was the best
equipped man for tho position nam
