The City court convened tbis morning.

Hunter was taken up. Owing to the fact
that Judge Cobb was disqualified, Thomas
S. Mell, Esq., was called upon to preside.
Mr. Mell wore the judicial honors with
dignity and ability. The case under trial
had its origin in the injuries received by
Mr. Garebold from a team belonging to
Orr & Hunter. Mr. T. W. Rucker is
attorney for the plaintiff, and Messrs.
Thomas & Strickland for the defendants.
A motion to non-suit was made by the
defendants, and after argument was over
ruled by his honor, Judge Mell. Court
then adjourned till this afternoon.

A Lot of.Furniture.
At the court house this morning was to
be seen a large quantity of furniture, from
bed-steads,bed mattresses to beaureaus and
other articles of household convenience.
The goods were levied upon by Bailiff
Porter this morning at the Northeastern
depot, and were about to be shipped to
Gainesville. The cause of levying upon
them was a debt of $lB due by the owner,
and it was for this amount that the goods
were seized. The furniture is altogether
worth a goodjdeal more than above amount,
and it is a mystery to those around the
court bouse why the party to whom the
goods belonged did not pay the amount
named, and retain his property.
The Catton Market.
The bottom has dropped out of the cot
ton market, and the farmers are blue.
How long the market will stay bottomless
cannot be said, but one thing is certain,
the business in that line is anything but
lively today. The trouble is caused by
the fact that the corner in Liverpool on
cotton has been broken. The contract of
a party who has been taking large quanti
ties of cotton in that market expired yes
terday, and the decreased demand has
caused the price of cotton to drop from
10 cents and over to 9f cents a pound.
For thia reason it is probable that little
cotton will be sold for some days. For
tbejsake of public welfare, it is to be hoped
that the market will get some starch in it
and stiffen up within the next week.
Augusta, Ga., September 28.—The

ATHENS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY OCT. i, iBBo.
DR. H. H. CARLTON.
A TALK WITH THI DENIAL CON
URBBSHAN FROM THE STH.
His Opinions an the Coining Congress.
They were discussing the matter of
dudes in Congressman Carlton’s office
yesterday.
Just four of them.
Col. A. P. Henley, Justice of Peace
Fuller, Congressman Carlton, and last, but
not least, the Chronicle reporter. Col.
Henley had just been accused by Congress
man Carlton of belonging to the tribe of
mankind known as dudes, and the genial
colonel had just retaliated by instancing >
the Congressiqan’s pojjyj-dot tie and
striped pantaloons as proof of his also be
longing to this much abused class of hu
man beings. “You just ought to go to
Washington,” said Dr. Carlton, as he took
on that entertaining tone which has cap
tured many a voter in this district, “You
just ought to go to Washington if you
want to see dudes. Why a man can stand
on the steps of the Capitol and just see
hundreds of dudes pass by; not these
cheap kind of dudes either, but these ulira,
extremely utterly utter beings whose very
existence seems a delicate breath which
might be blown away by a puff of wind.
The Washington dude always carries a
cane, of course; he grasps it about midway,
and putting ou his characteristic strut
which dudes fall into naturally, you can
spot him as soon as you see him. Then
there are female dudes, whom Sam Jones
calls dudines, I believe. These are also to
be seen in greet quantities; they differ
from the dude in carrying parasols instead
of walking canes, and with that inimitable
swing and equally characteristic strut, the
Washington dndine is a much observed
and much talked of being.”
“Are there any dudes in Congress, Doc
tor?” ventured the Chronicle man.
“O yes, we have quite a number of
them in the House. The biggest dude in
the last Congress was William Walter
Phelps of New Jersey. Hj dresses in the
ultra fashionable style, bangs his hair and
is on the whole a typical dude. Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts, is another of the
great dudes of the House. It is a matter
worthy of remark that there are no dudes
in the House from the South. The South
ern repreentatives seetn to be selected
more with an eye to usefulness than to
ornament, land their careers iu the Isjuse
prove that tbis is true.”
“Who do you think will be Speaker of
the next House;?” was asked.
“It is my opinion that McKinley of
Ohio will be the man. His two opponents
are Jim Reed of Maine, and Cannon of
Illinois. The former has several times
been honored with the empty honor of re
ceiving the Republican nomination during
the supremacy of the Democrats, and this
is oue reason why his chances for the
speakership are considered so good. Reed
is a fiery, impulsive partisan, brilliant and
cutting in bis remarks on the floor, and he
is undoubtedly the leader of the Republi
can party in Congress on debates. Mc-
Kinley is representative of the conserva
tism of the party, and is popular with all
factions. I would like to see Reed Speaker
in order to get him off the floor Os the
House, but for all other reasons, I would
prefer to see McKinley in the chair, and I
expect to see him there, although it may
be that the wish is father to the thought in
this case. Congress meets on the first
Monday in December, and the first thing
done will be an attempt ou the part of the
Republ cans to abnegate the rules by
which the last House was governed, and
which will be in force until a new set of
rules is adopted. Ido not think the Re
publicans will have a majority of more
than six in the next House. Os the four
new states which elect Congressmen this
fall, the Republican representatives from
the two Dakota’s will be offset by the rep
resentatives from Washington and Mon
tana, as these two states will in all proba
bility go Democratic. It is true that there
are a number of seats to be contested for
before the House, but with a Republican
majority of only three or four to begin
with, it is not possible for them to run
over the wishes of the Democratic minori.
ty. It will be an impossibility for them
with the small majority that they have, to
get a quorum of their own side jn the
House, and the* Democrats by refusing to
vote can thus prevent the passage of any'
measure which may come up, As an in?
stance of the inability of a small majority
to legislate again->t the will of a large mi
nority I may mention the fact that, with
a Democratic majority of 13 in the last
Congress, we were unable to get a quorum
of Democrats together on any occasion
except the day upon whic h the Tariff Bill
came up, and with a majority of only four
or five the Republicans will find it ini’
possible to overrule the Democratic side of
the House.”
“What are the most important billsUha'
will come before the next Congress, Doc
tor ?’’
“The most important bills we will have
under consideration will be the question
of changing the election law, the service
penson bill, and direct ; ax bill. The pur
pose of‘the first is to place all congressional
elections under Federal control. Tbis will
be earnestly by the Democrats.
The service pension bill, it will be remem*
bered, was vetoed by Cleveland. It’s pur
pose is to give pensions to every man who
took pari in auy way in the Northern ser
vice during the war. It is a scheme to
use « large portion of the public money for
such purposes as Tanm r intended, and is
a most extravagant and useless piece of
legislation. With Harrison as President,
however, it’s friends hope to carry it
through. The direct tax bill was defeated
in the Jast house, and its supporters thus
will make another effort to pass it. It is
not probable that any action will be taken
on the tariff, of course the usual amount of
discussion and speech-making will be in
dulged on it, but no action either way will
be taken. .The Democrats will be power
less any change, and the Republi
cans wl’ t, o, have
things their own way at present. There
will be a plenty of business before Con
gress, however; and the Democrats may
count on plenty of work before them.”
Dr. Carlton is looking well and cheer
ful, and as we listened to his animated and
interesting words, we thought to ourselves
that it would be a long time before the
Bth district would call in any one else to
represent it in Congress.

LETTER FROM SANDERSVILLE.
About Some of the College Boys.
Mr. J. M. Gaston, who is teaching school
at Sandersville, Ga., sends us the follow
ing letter. Mr. Gaston will be remember
ed as one of the Chronicle College re
porters last year, and we know our renders
will read with pleasure the following lines
from bis gifted pen :
Sandersville, Ga., Sept. 26,1889.
Special Correspondence Athens Chronicle.
Mr. W. N. Smith, who I see has been
elected Business Manager of the Univer
sity Reporter, is claimed by two towns—
Sandersville and Tennille. Hence, San
dersville enters this protest to the Evening
Chronicle saying “ W. N. Smith, of Ten.
t nipe.” He went to school for a short time
to the Sandersville lligH School, Jwbie?:
would congratulate him on his election,
and predicts that he will push some one
for the honors in the Senior class.
Another Sandersville boy at the Univer
sity, is Mr. Lee Happ, of the Freshman
class. He is a eon of our merchant prince,
Mr. Morris Happ. His father also holds
the responsible position of President of
the Sandersville Board of Education. Mr.
Lee Happ himself is doubtless skilled in
military tactics, since he attended the
Moreland Park Military Academy. And
why should he not lead the Freshman
Class?
Passing from the lower classes of the
University, Sandersville will also be repre
sented in the Law class. Mr. George
Evans, son of Col. Beverly D. Evans of
the law firm of Evans and Evans, is the
man. His father is also a member of the
the board of Education. Mr. Evans bim«
self has taught nearly two years—having
been employed at Tennille, Lawrance
county, and lately at Gibson, Ga. He is an
A. B. graduate of Mercer. We predict
for him a bright tuture, as his father will
soon retire from the few practice and
leave him a lucrative clientelle.
I saw Prof. H. C. Polhill, of Hilliard In
stitute, as I passed through Forsyth. Mr.
Alexander was also at the train.
Mr. W. J. Shaw writes fiom Coosa, Ga.
that be will probably enter the Senior
class, October the first, thus reviewing the
first term and getting the benefit of the in
structions under Drs. Boggs and Becock.
The old college column of the Chron
icle, although changed in the heading
and signatures, still reminds me of the
lime when 1 used to write for it. I hope
the able editors Will keep it up. The
whole State is interested in the daily
account there given by her sons, but es
pecially an alumnus, such as myself. It
is to me like reading a personal letter, and
it comes every day except Sunday. It is
better than any correspondent I have. I
can imagine I hear the college bell as I
fold the paper to answer the brazen sum
mons of my school. j. m. g.

reported and there will be music in the

There are a number of cases for disorderly
conduct and for several other offences,
but the fun will come iu when the blind
tiger cases are called up. There are ten of
these cases, and as the tine is between SSO

treasury is likely to get on a boom, as tie
evidence in each case is quite conclusive*
The following blind tiger keepers will an
swer to the charges preferred against them;
Peter Hawkins, two cases; A E Hawkins,
Will Johnson, Jim Glenn, two cases, Lit
tleton Smith, two cases, Fred Andeison,
Sherman Derricote, and Dock Strickland.
A bill has recently passed the House giving
the mayor power to impose a fine on blind

Schley, disorderly conduct; Jerry Moore,
disorderly conduct and using profane'
language. Lewis Yancey, Ben White,
Hugh Montgomery, Jenks Rowe, and An
drew Cleveland disorderly driving; Frank
Sberrell, using profane language; John

The fire in Washington, Ga., of which
the Chronicle made mention yesterday,
is said to have been of incendiary origin .
A fire occurred in Savannah yesterday
morning in which several demi-mondes
came nesr losing thejt lives.
The Atlanta Constitution pomes to the
front today with the following which is
worthy of reprint:
Here is a sensation.
Toe National Cotton committee and the
Tare committee of the National Alliance
held a secret session at the Kimball last
night.
And the ruiqors concerning the action of
that meeting are most interesting.
It is rumored that the joint committees
are preparing some instructions which
will be wide-reaching in their effect.
Tfiese qre instructions to all the pri
maries, wfleels and unions, advising and
instructing them to hold meetings and pe?
tition the governors of each of the cotton
stales la call the legislature in extra ses
sion to suspend the processes oi the courts
far the collection of debts for six months.
The object of this action, they say, is “to
thwart and prevent the robbery planned
and determined against them.
The results of such action cannot be es
timated. Tne rumor also says that in«
structions are being prepared and will be
sent out immediately.
Liberty county is still filled with excite-,
ment. Only a few weeks ago Nebuchad
nezzar and King Soloman, two black
negroes, were carrying things by storm.
But Nebuchadnezzar has quit eating grass,
but Solomon is yet in jail on a charge of
bigamy. John the Baptist is the new
comer, and John has come to grief. For
the past few days he has had a big
ing, but some of the blacks did not like
John and went to the place where he was
holding his meeting and there being one
hundred of them they beat up John pretty
badly. While the excitement was running
high on this point a white gentleman
called at a lady’s bouse saying in intro-,
duoing nimself that his name was Prince.
She thought he said Christ, and hastily
snatching her baby, left the house in a
burry. Explanations were made and now
everything is quiet in Liberty,
It is said that the Industrial School bjl(
will pass the Senate with ease and thus
became a law.
Six parties have been indicted by the
Fulton grand jury for participating in the
recent East Point whipping. Among
them is E C. Brufley, of the Constitution.
At the meeting of the joint committee of
the National Farmers Alliance in Atlanta
last night, it was decided after discussion
to demand of buyers 8 pounds tare for
bales covered with cotton bagging. The
Savannah cotton exchahge refuses to ap
prove this action, and it is ptobable that it
will meet with opposition in other parts of
the State,
John Duncan, an inoffensive negro, was
shot dead at Spring Place in Murray
