Lewis Rea wine, the defaulter, is on trial at Atlanta. Some startling facts haw been brougnt out, and it ia expected that something real sen¬ sational, for even Atlanta, may be developed in the course of the trial. La*er—Atlamta, Ga- Jan. 12th Rod win o’ attorneys admit that the proseention ie unanswerable, end a plea of guilty has been en¬ tered. Redwine will be sentenced tomorrow. If the oieanDts/j se me men at¬ tempt, and the ^ood they acciden- te'ly do, were compounded,’twould make a bitter pill. The latest aed greatest aspira¬ tion for Atlanta, ia The Cotton Sitatea and International Exposi¬ tion, to be heid in that city in the fr.ll of 1895. The very name of the great expo¬ sition, will enthuse the people and land immeasurable aid aud strength to the promotors of the great enter- priae, again, the fact that Atlanta never fails in anything, will give additional confidence and popular¬ ity to the scheme. Tlie Grand Exposition. Preporatione for the Cotter states and International Exposition con¬ tinue at a very satisfactory pace. The general committee yesterday elected Mr. H. E. W. Palmer Direc tor General. This is a very important office.* Upon the ability, tact and devo¬ ted efforts of the Director General the success of the Exposition will, in great measure, depend. Mr. Palmer haB all the qualifica- tionc for success in this trying posi¬ tion. He is brainy, energetic and practidal. He has large views and knows how to carry them out. He has unbounded faitb in At¬ lanta and her ability to do what¬ ever she undertakes. He was one of the first and most enthusiastic promotors ol the exposition idea. He will receive the urited and hearty support, not only of the ex position comraitte, but of the entire people and press of Atlanta. Mr. Palmer deserves this all the mere since the honor that has been con¬ ferred upon him was absolutely un¬ sought. The committee has made a wise seleotioo for the most important of- fi"i* of tho expohition. Every preliminary move yet made has been on the right line. The prospects of a great success l»rows brighter daily. — Atlanta Journal. Have you kept all the resolutions made for the new year? It is verv doubtful whether the Corbett- Mifohell contest will be knocked eff on Florida soil. The proprietors of the Duval Ath eletic Club hart better sell out to some one that does not know Gov Mitchell. If the contest takes place there will be two Mitchells knocked out. Washington News. Proceedings of the past week at National Capitol. Washington, Jan. 8. Fromour regular Correspondent. St. Andrew Jackfon’s Day finds many democrats of the House in a predicament where they may well ask ’’where am I at?”The first four days of Congress contained a suc¬ cession of surprises for the average democrat, in the continued failure to get a quorum of democrats in the the House to vote for the resolu¬ tion reported Horn the committee on Rules making the Wilsoo bill a special continuing order un¬ til Jan. 25, when a fjnal vote is to be taken thereon. That some dem¬ ocrats were opposed to certain schedules in the bill was, of course, known, but that any considerable numder of them carry their opposi¬ tion to the extent of declining to attend the House in order to make up a voting quorum of democrats, in order to prevent the bill being taken up, was certainly not believed nutil the fact was made so plain that it could no longer be doubted. The Dames of fifty-seven demo cratic members of the House have been published as oppoiing the per¬ sonal income tax and eb none of them have entered a denial it is fair to assume that the list published was correct. This may account for the seeming eudden increase of the democratic opposition to the tariff bill, but the income tax in not yet a part of the tariff bil and indeedeaay never bo, as there is a probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that the Ways and Means commit¬ tee will report it to the House as a separate and distinct bill to stand or fall on its own merits, instead of offering it as an amendment of the tariff bill. The democratic caucus while it did not specifically endorse the tar¬ iff bill did so indirectly without a division when it adopted Speaker Crisp’s resolution, that it was the duty of every democrat member of the House to vote for the resolution from the committee of Roles provi¬ ding for the consideration of the tariff bill; also to attend the daily sessions in order that pressing pub¬ lic business might be attended to; but the trouble, or at least a por¬ tion of it, arises from the fact that only a few more than two-thirds of the democratic members of the House attended the caucus and that those who did not atteud do net re¬ gard the resolution as binding on them. If any democrats were ben¬ efited hytheir cross pulling it would be more excusable, but they are only playing into the hands of the republicans who are openly exult¬ ing over the present deplorable con dition of affair«. Steps have been taken — orders issued tor the ariest of absentees- wi ieb it is believed will result in bringiug to Washington thia week every democratic member of the House who is well enough to come, and the party leaders are confident that they can get and keep a quo¬ rum of democrats until the tariff bill is passed. We shall see. All of the old Hawaiian straw ha3 been rethreshed since the news arrived via Aueicland that the ex¬ queen of Hawaii had agreed to the conditions first submitted to her and that Minister Willis had in ac cordance with his original instruc¬ tions requested the provisional gov' eminent to retire in their favor, and that the provisional govern¬ ment had declined to do so. Presi¬ dent Cleveland has later dispatch¬ es which came from Hawaii by the steamer Corwin, but neither be nor Secretary Gresham has made their Datura public. Whether they con¬ firm the Aukland dispatch is not positively known, but from remarks of democratic Congressmen who hav seen the President since he re- cieved them it is inferred that they do. Either way it would not change the situation at all, as Minister Willis has positive instructions not to use force to bring about the change, a fact of which Minister Thurston, who is in Hawaii, wa- well aware before be left Washing¬ ton and which of itself made it al¬ most certain that there would be change, unless the provisional gov¬ ernment voluntairly retiree. Attorney General Olney had a lit. tie fun the ather Hay with a delega¬ tion of republecaDS from Kansas, headed by Representative Curtis, which called on him in the interest af Colonel Jones who wants to be U.S.Marshall. While he did not say in so many words the Attorney General left the impression upon hie callers’ minds that republican influence is not calculated to im¬ prove any democrats chance for getting an appointment, under the Department of Justice. The Kan¬ sans left in doht as to whether they bad injured the prospects of Colonel Jones, and certain that they bad not improved them. Representative Pendleton, of Texas, has introduced a free coin¬ age bill, making the average price of gold and silver for sixty days <ron November 1, 1894, the legal ratio between the two metals, on and after Jan. 1, 1895. The bill of the repeal of the fed¬ eral election laws will be taken up in the Senate tomorrow, and it ie expected that it will be passed with in the next three weeks, the ooder- stan ling being that the republicans are not, to filibuster against it. Perishing the Panic. It has been our aim lor some time, to prepare a statement giv¬ ing the exact amount of hay, corn, cats and meat, shipped to Syca- n ore m the different years since 1889. Want of time has kept us from going into the minor details of tha question, but we are able, from personal knowledge, and with useful infertnatioU from Mr. J. W. Griffin, the agent for two years past, to give the readers 3ome idea of our advancement, in an agricul¬ tural way. In 188.9, not less than 40 solid cars of corn came to Syca¬ more from the western fields, and as many more mixed cars of corn, oats and hay, In 1890, these shipments were re¬ duced more than 25 per cent. In 1891 leas than half the ship¬ ments of ’89 were received, and for the year ’92 only 5 solid cars of corn were seceived, and possibly, twice as many cars ; of mixed feed consist¬ ing of corn, oats and hay. In 1893 not a single car of corn came to Sycamore, and the ship¬ ment of mixed cars show a propor¬ tionate decrease to the shipments of thepreceding years. The decrease in the shipments of meat is equal¬ ly grattiiying, and the demand for it ia so small that it scarcely pays the merchants of the'town to carry it in stock. We trust this statement will en¬ courage cur farmers to even strong¬ er efforts to make their supplies at home. This enormous decline in the shipment of these articles, rep¬ resent thousands of dollars to the fanners of this immediate vicinity. The News is with the people in their efforts to un>ke all their home supplies, and live at home.
