The Weekly Teleorafii and Mes senger will contain able discussions of the issues which will come up in the State and national elections this year, and a summary of the important news of the world. It will contain nothing unsuitable for ladies and children to read. Every one who is not familliar with it should give it a trial this year. wtf Human passion like the storm cloud leaves woe and wretchedness in its wake, A leader who forsook his party and peo ple in the days of adversity should never again be trusted. It ought not to take a term of service in a Loyal League club to fit a fellow for leadership In the Democratic party. Tiie young men of Atlanta purpose be ing heard from iiereufter in city, county and State politics. Well, why not? The sun went down on nsturc’s wrath on Tuesday and arose on Wednesday morning, smiling on broken family circles and torn and dcsolato homes. We predicted that General Gordon and his treasurer would never reach Khar toum in safety, and the prediction went to pot like the signs of the raoonite. Tiie farmers In the anti-stock law coun- tioa that were visited by the storm will bo greatly retarded in their farm work by the necessity of rebuilding their fences. "The Prince of the Tower of tiie Air' has been riding forth on the wings of tlio wind, and desolation and human woe are the memorials left by him in tlio way. Human skill ought to be equal to the task of constructing storm-proof houses. The average house is a mere pasteboard box in the hands of the storm. Tuk insects war upon the crops, the birds war upon the insects, and the huntsmen war upon the birds. So. then, would it be unreasonable for the birds and tho farm ers to make common causa against the insects and the huntsmen? It Isn't wise to pooh-pooh the influence of the young men in politics. Old heads are very hard and sometimes they are quite long; but there are always old legs under them, and that variety of legs isn’t generally good on s long, bard race. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, lias Just followed to the grave his young wife, and his nrothcr, Mrs. Martha Bulloch Koosevelt, a native of Georgia. They died the same day and in the samo house, and were buried from Dr. Hall's church at the same time. Kindi are generally bad citixens, but they ought not tobemurdered. There are no points in common between the spirit of liberty and the aplrit of assassination. Men who fail to appreciate tola fact are as dangerous citizens here as they would be in any of the kingdoms of Europe. SruNuu’s committee is said to bare "■truck it rich,” as the mining phrase goes. It is to be hoped that some atten tion will be given to the methods prevail ing in the Federal courts in Georgia. It is believed by many that inch investigation would expose shameless irregularities. The Democrats of Virginia are on trial in Washington City, before the Sherman committee, and the Democrats ot Missis sippi are on trial in New Orleans, before the Hoar committee. This is contrary to every suggestion of reason and justice, bat it isn’t surprising. Hoar and Sherman couldn’t surprise the South except by fair and decent action, and of that they are in capable. Is case of a foreign war, the Northern Republicans would be willing for Southern Democrats to do the biggest part of the fighting. And they would be foolish enough 1 <lo it lion, Hoar, Edmonds,Sherman d the other ’‘Christian statesmen of the bud old party" would have engagements here. They have never been willing shedding of any blood but that of hern people. r of oar State exchanges refer to the i rmeri ire bard at work, little singular that the ltd should [ught worthy of special mention, ooldn’t the lumen be hard at , It is in the line of their business, be line of every other good r r may be bis calling The ce given to the statement a to justify the inference aki-it are surprised that at dodging their retpooii- Tho "Cedar Cheat” In Ceorgia. TLereis considerable uneasiness in Washington, and there may be some in Georgia before the ides of Novem< her, with regard to the "cedar chest.” Very fine cedar chests are made in the TcnnesBco penitentiary, and some of them, it is believed, have found their way into Georgia. These chests are most useful articles about the house, as well for the careful housewife who desires to protect the blankets and winter apparel of the fam ily, as to the thoughtful political stu dent who likes to have a safe and con venient place to store away files of old newspapers, the letters and speeches of public men, legislative reports, and other like matte?. A letter from Washington to the New York Sun contains the following para graph: Mr. Crowley’s close relations witli the President, and his supposed wish that Arthur be renominated lias caused it to be surmised that he has visited Mr. Dorsey in the interest of peace. Dorsey is known to bo bitterly opposed to Arthur's nomina tion, and his friends assert that he will open his famous cedar chest and permit some publications to be made therefrom, in case he regards the nomination of Arthur likely to be made. It is regarded as not unlikely that Crowley, knowing somethings that Dorsey knows, and de siring that there should be no reason why Dorsey should make use of such knowledge as he possesses, has made certain over tures in tiie way of peace. It is also proba ble that if Mr. Crowley called upon Dor sey upon any such errand that he was in formed that Dorsey would consent to no such compromise, and that he would car ry his opposition so far as to drive the knife to the hilt. As already intimated, there are ce dar chests in Georgia, and some of them are represented to be well filled with most interesting political reading. There need be no doubt upon this point. AU the old files of newspapers have not been bought up and hid away out of sight, nor have all of the incen diary speeches and letters of the recon struction period been collected and de stroyed. There is more than one scrap book in the State, and there are other cedar chests besides those in Washing ton, as time and opportunity may dem onstrate. There is a trite illustration about the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. The reader must have had this illustra tion recalled to his mind by recent biographical publications, in which the most important parts were omitted, or so lightly touched upon as almost to escape attention. Indeed, the recon struction scene, act fourth, is conspicu ous only by its absence from tho biog raphies ; for the curtain is rung down and tho audience dismissed, in ignor ance and disappointment, after a muti lated performance. Tiie audience ought not to be treated in this way, especially after they have paid their money—bought the book. Wo must therefore, wo fear, go to their relief, and try to secure an honest ren dition of the entire play. Patriotism of the French People. Tested by the pocket-nerve, the French people are the most patriotic in the world. They stay at home, are in dustrious and frugal, glory in the tri umphs of their country, flock to its flag in war, and always respond to its de mands for money liberally and cheer fully. Quite recently the government de sired a loan and it was promptly taken by tho French people. More than trcblo Lite amount was offered that was called for. This has been Construed into an expression of their faith in tho the. republic. This construction will scarcely stand tho test. There was no timo during tho Franco-Prussian war that tho citizens of France did not give all the money that the government called for, and yet the government waa being constant, changed, and to tho outsido world it looked, more than once, as though tho end would come when France would have no government nt all. That Frenchmen give their money so freely and readily is tho highest evi dence of their patriotism. That they arc able to give whenever tho demand is made speaks volumes for tho small industries which have given her a financial stability unequalled by any other country. We are' sometimes given to boasting of the rehabilitation of tlio South after the late war. It is a source of pride and wonder; but when we recall tho destruction wrought in Franco, anil the heavy indemnity ex acted from her by the conquerors, and the facility with which she met it, the meed of praise is due to her. Her experience with a republic is yet far from a satisfactory completion. When we consider what a terrific jolt ours received after it had been running nigh on to a century, we can feel no surprise that Frenchmen are restless and sometimes revolutionarv. Just now the most careful and dis creet observers look upon the condi tion of France with apprehension. She may again be tom by bloody strifes among contending factions of her own sons, but her past history is a safe guarantee that when the storm is over she will speedily right herself fingn- daily. The Crclonas. We print this morning all the details that could be obtained of the fearful storm, or succession of storms, that swept over the State on Tuesday after noon and night. While incomplete by reason of disarranged wires and the distance from the railroads of many of the sections visited, enough bas been gathered to show that many very sad casualties dsve occurred, and much valuable property has been destroyed. The genend direction of the storms seems to have been from west to cast and from southwest to northeast, and the indications are that Georgia and Alabama have been visited by parts or fragments of a great cyclone or cyclones, which succeeded each other at intervals of some boon, and which separated before reaching this State. These great disturbances originate' 1 ’labtless, as have many that preceded them, in the Gulf of Mexico and tho Mississippi valley. The first storm struck our western borders at Columhus a few minutes af ter 12 m., and came from the south west. It was next heard of at 1 p. at Cartersville, north of Columbus and distant over one hundred miles. Tiie storm was moving in the samo direc tion, from southwest to northeast, and must have been a fragment or branch of the same cyclone. A second and equally destructive storm passed north of Macon a fow miles, through Jones, l’utnam, Wash ington, Hancock and Warren counties, moving from west to cast, or a little north of cast. This occurred between 6 and 7 p. m. Still another violent rain and wind storm swept over this city from tho southwest later in the night, betweon 2 and 3 o'clock yester day morning. \ There is one remarkable incident connected with the recent great atmos pheric disturbance, and we think it worthy of the attention of our repre sentatives in Congress. This storm waB foretold in the new York Herald of Sunday last as a probable occur rence. Had this warning been given throughout the State by means of signals at prominent points and upon trains, such preparations might have been made, as would have prevented at least loss of life. This train service was suggested for Ohio, by which fanners even while at work might be notified of an approaching violent change in the weather. A simple code of signals was suggested, and one that even the uneducated could soon learn, being based upon colors. It seems that Georgia has become the track of annually ■ recurring cyclones. The property interests aud the lives of the people demand that all assistance possible be given by the Signal Service Bureau in their efforts to preserve both. Creatina a New Son. The latest scheme of the great engineers, while loss difficult than many others we might name as already accomplished, must, by reason of the boldness of its conception and the vast changes likely to be effected in the face and productiveness of a large division of the earth’s surface, exert upon tho public mind a peculiar fascination. The public has within the last thirty years been so frequently confronfed with splendid engineering results that it would seem difficult to astound it witli new suggestions. Mountain ranges and river beds have been tunneled, isthmuses severed by canals, cables laid throngli oceans, and railroads across continents; feats of skill and daring not dreamed of within the early manhood of our older citizens. Tho now scheme looks to tho reclam ation of at least a portiop of the vast Sahara desert, and is in the hands of M. Itoudairo, a noted French engineer. Now that the eyes of the civilized world are turned towards Africa, it may not be out of place to devote a few lines to the subject. It is in brief a propo sition to cut through the ridge that sep arates the Mediterranean from tlio des ert, which is in part below the Medi terranean level, and inundate the arid sands witli tiie blue waters of that tido- less sea. Tho proposition was several years ago laid before the French government by M. Itoudairo, and such was the con fidence of tho government in tlio en gineer that a sum of money was fur nished him, that he might confirm his theory by more minute observations. After two years of labor, tho engineer became convinced that nothing inter vened between the plan and its accom plishment except permit* from the proper authorities and the funds neces sary to execute tho work. The former have lately been obtained, being n fir man from tho Sultan of Turkey, and a formal permit from the Bey of Tunis. The great Sahara desert is supposed to cover 3,000,000,000 square miles of land, being in extent therefore nearly os largo as tlio United States. How much of this vast area can be innndatcd by canals from tho Mediterranean is not yet known. That a largo portion of it can be so inundated we are as sured by M. Roudairc, and his views are endorsed by the greatest of living engineers, M. De Lcsscps. The effect upon theremainderof converting a large division of Africa into an inland sea, is something upon which even the scien tific can as yet but speculate. It is tiie opinion, however, of many that it will, by irrigating the desert lands and cre ating moisture in an atmosphere to which rain is now almost a stranger, bring back to fertility a region that has not within the memory of man been productive. Add to this the evident increase of facilities for trading with the interior, thereby developing an almost untouched section of tho earth rich in natural produc tions, and it will bo seen what results may hang upon the completion of the enterprise. The future control of this probable trade will doubtless lead France into support of M. Rou daire's plans. There has been at times, talk of con verting the great American desert into an inland aea. The African scheme will doubtless determine the wisdom of anch an enterprise. Cotton Statement. From the ChronicU't cotton article of February 15, we learn the following facta relative to the movement of the crop for the past week: For the week ending February IS the total receipts have reached 105,921 bales, against 111,481 bales last week, 112,110 bales the previous week, and 1(M,533 balsa three weeks since, mak ing the total receipts since September 1, 1883, 4,108,718 bales, against 4,(BI,- 945 bales for the same period o' *882-3, showing a decrease since September 1, 1833, of 433,227 bales. Tho total receipts at all the interior towns for the past week, have readied 32,351 bales, since September 1, 2,449,- 9-5G bales, showing an increase for the week of 18,279 bales, against the same week last year, and for tiie season a falling off of 450,159bales, as compared witli the same season last-year. Macon, among the interior towns, is credited with 409 bales for the week, and with 57,851 bales for the season. For the same week last year, the re ceipts were 1,007 bales, and for the season 53,256 bales. These figures show a decrease for the week, as com pared with the same receipts last year, of 058 bales, anil for the season an in crease over last year’s receipts of 4,595 bales. Taking the receipts from plantations, the net overland movement to Febru ary 1, and the takings by Southern spinners to the same date, the total visible supply becomes 5,012,302 bales, against 5,574,570 bales last year, show ing a decrease of the amount in Bight, as compared with last year, of 562,274 bales. Tho imports into continental ports this week have been 69,000 bales. The exports have reached a total of 112,267 hales, of which 05,613 were to Great Britain, 1,760 to France and 14,894 to the rest of the continent. We take the following from tho Chronicle’« article, relative to specula tions in cotton for the week under re view: ^ The speculation in cotton for future de livery at this market, during the past week, has been slow, and the course of prices has been somewhat irregular, with tiie changes comparatively slight. During Satur day and Monday there was a slight decline, under sales to realize, caused bv the full receipts at the ports, and the dc- pressionof the markets at New Orleans jind Liverpool. Tuesday opened wea k, but "here was a rally at the close, attributed to small receipts at Memphis and other interior towns. On Wednesday the re ceipts at the ports were quite small, ami the opening of prices was at n further advance, but it was not sustained in tiie latter dealings. On Thursday tiie strong Liverpool and Southern markets, together with the crop movement still small, caused a slight advance, which was pretty well maint.lined to the close, but without activity in tiie dealings. It may be re marked, however, thaton both Wednesday and Thursday tiie summer months at tracted more attention. To-day the open ing was weak and the market anil, closing slightly lower, and. as compared with last Friday, somewhat irregular, with the vari ations unimportant. Cotton on the spot lias been very dull. A small business was done for home consumption. There lias been no chango in prices, middling uplands closing nominally lOJic. BOOK NOTICE. a Ceorgia Biography—’“Life and Times of Joseph E. Brown.” We have been handed a copy of Field er’s ’’Lifcand Times of Joseph E. Brown’ to notice and review, a task for which wo feel so little fitness or inclination wo fain would pass it by in silence. We have no objection to noticing the work; we are merely appalled at tho prospect of having to review it. The "Life and Times ot Joseph E. Brown,” by Fielder, is a fact, regardless of the facts it may contain; an occurrence which lias beenhurlcd Into our journalistic path, and however tho flesh may faint and the spirit droop before tho obstacle to bo surmounted, tho requirements of the hour must be met with a dauntless determina tion to do or die. It is a serious thing to have to review the life of any man; to note his daily walks and brilliant flights, his actions proud, ids actions humble, his foys and sorrows, his strong temptations and occasional tumbles, It is serious because it is under certain conditions dangerous; for unless happily restrained by an impassive mind, the reader, as lie enters Into the work, merges witli the hero, fights with him Hips with him, kites and cries with hint, tolls the truth or lies with him, as the case may be. We would approach tho "Lifo and Times of Joseph E. Brown,” with doubt and dis tress, under any circumstances: we opr proach the "Life and Times of Joseph E. Brown,” by Fielder, appalled by a consci ousness of deep solemnity. There Is with us, as we enter in upon it, a gloomy doubt os to whether tho wreck of our moral nature will, when all is over, be set up witli by a Samaritan missionary or gathered as flotsam and jetsam along tho coasts of eternity by the gentleman with the split hoof. It was a thoughtful concession from Mr. Fielder that the first page of the work under revision should be devoted to "Errata and explanations." No life of Joseph E. Brown would be complete with out a page of errata and explanations. But this is the last and only concession; and tho author settles down to business, lie approaches his subject as carefully as have we, entering upon it with a Well- timed compliment to Nature for what site bud done for Georgia—a happy stroke of policy; for surely no one can, as be pro ceeds, blame the creative dame for having so palpably neglected Mr. Brown, when so much of her valuable talent had been exerted upon the scenes of his future perambulations. -Following this comes tne State's area, population, subdi visions, boundaries, rivers, water powers, altitude, climate, soil, productions, timber, metals, religion, cemeteries, colleges, pub lications, societies and railroads. Many readers will be puzzled to un derstand what the lengthy disserta tion upon Georgia has to do with the biography of Joseph E. Brown, but the scheme of the work seems apparent to us. Mr. Fielder has written a history of Geor gia, doubtless, and worked in Mr, Brown afterwards. He is to make his appearance at intervals, as does a forgotten basting- thread in a lady’s skirt, and crop out of odd places like a vein of the dearly beloved Dade county coal. We do not aaeert this, but anch is the plan, aa it appears tons. And why not? Has not Mr. Brown dived down below the surface and popped up in unexpected placet for thirty-odd years ? Has lie not been at the bottom of Georgia politics or on top ell his life? If Mr. Fielder's plan of con •traction is seriously assailed, he may look to tha'rxuoRArii and Mxaain-.es to defend it But the author proceeds. He next deals with hie own contemporaries. Mr Brown has dived beneath the surface from the title page, and does not reappear until we open np page 8*. We had become alarmed lor hie safety, but be rose for breath finally. At no other time afterwards is he gone so long. He mokes bis appearance coming down out ot the mountains with "undiluted morals” and as pure as a brooklet. He comes with a dress “neat but not gaudy," boasting of an avoirdupois that is a happy medium between Bob Toombs and Alex Stephens. Mr. Fielder's do. scription is too long to be produced. It is eloquently negative tending to show what Mr. Brown ia not rather than what he is, which is not surprising, since no man bas ever been able to spot him with posi tiveness, While tiie author is telling his hero's fortune and drawing a pen picture of him. the hero has gotten to be twenty- odd years old, and is still growing; notic ing which, the reader ia apt to be haunted with a fear that Mr. Brown isgainingonbis Boswell, and may eventually escape alto gether, liut Fielder does not worry over it. He even drops back and dallies with Mr. Brown’s pedigree, which he declares was Bcotch-Iriih, with n dasli of Ten nessee on one side and a Virginia cross on the other. His similes in this connection are as animated as a procession qf weary steers. Finally he closes upon his victim, whom we find teaching the young idea liow to shoot, or how to handle tho pike, in a country school-house. From this pe riod they travel along peacefully together until Mr. Brown is elected Governor in 1857. Says tiie biographer at this junc ture: "It was difficult for the intelligent public to understand how a man from the interior, without the benefit of long associ ation with central political juntos and rings, could enter into office without meet ing many difficulties.” Tills is the first in timation the intelligent public has bad that Mr. Brown was ever lacking in such benefits. The intelligent public is better informed upon this subject than Mr. Fielder. In the hands of Mr. Fielder, Gov. Brown vindicated himself for the first time in 1859. Then he gets interested in the State road, and dives out of sight again, while the biographer runs back and gives us a history of the • road. He explains Gov. Brown’s former policy in connection with it and how lie made it pay the State $450,000 per year; an important piece of informa tion, since wc can understand how ton years later ho was willing to take it at a rental of $300,000. The reader is then led about tiie State, ard has pointed out to him tho Governor’s ear marks upon the school system, State Geological Depart ment code, tho Sabbath day and vari ous other things. But the most eloquent and impressive picture represents the cele brated Georgia militia, emerging under tiie warm feathers of the brooding execu tive, from its ancient hardshell condition into a full-fledged bantling. One thing, however, is lacking. There is no mention made of the deadly engine of war, the “Brown pike,” invqpted by Governor Brown in ids happiest moments; the deadly engine so planned that in the hurrah of battle amid the hurrying foe, it could “catch 'em a cornin’ an’ cr gwine.” We cannot excuse this omission. To write a history of Jos. E. Brown and ignore the "Brown pike,” is iike considering Newton without reference to the apple, or Gallilco without his lamp. Unless tiie great in ventor himself first read the proof and struck out the pike section, with character istic modesty, Mr, Fielder has laid himself open to criticism. Wc have compared Mr. Fielder's similes to a procession of weary steers. But even weary steers can bccemc excited, end so with Mr. Fielder's similes when tho war broke out and Gov. Brown rose again to tlm surface. There was a switching of tails, a kicking ot heels and finally a stampede in a cloud of metaphor. This however, is only temporary. The proces sion is soon reformed and drags its weary column in review. Mr. Fielder does not follow Brown closely during the war. We shall not fallow Fielder. For one iiiina, however, we are indebted to him, and that is tiie elaborate vindication of tho Governor against tho charge of having carried off his pet cow and luxuriant cabbage from Miliedgcviilc, in preference to public docu ments, Mr. Fielder proves the Governor guiltless. The cow and cabbage were save* by Ira Foster, to bo distributed amongst several hundred refugees in tiie Soutwcstcrn railroad. The receipt of tiie refugees for tiie same, however, is not published, and it la impossible to say what became of the property. The reinaincr of Mr. Fielder’s work is the history Georgia with tho vindica tions ot Joseph E. Brown interpolated. Brown’s speech in Chicago is explained by Brown. Reconstruction is passed with the greatest possible skill. Wo had expected to see tiie biographer seriously involved in this division, but Governor Brown has dived again and only a bursting bubble marks his hidden course. Tiie Columhus episode docs not even appear as a bubble, nor tiie incendiary Atlanta speech, and finally after many weary years, Mr. Fielder suddenly closes his narra tive in 1872 without a word of warning. We arc puzzled. Here is a work pur porting to be tiie life of Joseph E. Brown by Fielder, with the twelve or thirteen most important years omitted. Did Fiel der miscalculate his strength and lkill? Did Ids idol turn to clay ? Had Brown led where his Boswell dared not follow ? Prob ably we will never know. It nmy be that when Canon Kingsley expressed a hope that some deoil American statesman would bo buried in Westminster Abbey and a wicked Georgia editor nominated Herbert Fielder, tiie nominee was forthwith accept ed. If Mr. Fielder ia , therefore burled.lt is impossible that he could finish his work, and should not be criticised. But the work ia finished; by whom is not stated. The narrative goes right along to '84 apparently of its own volition. Is this the work of Mr. Fielder's executors? Who can say? Perhaps Mr. Brown at tended to it. At any rate we shall not re view it. We positively refuse to follow an unknown biographer. It is hard enough work to keep up with those we know. these days of tricks and ■kill we should never know in reading the biography of Joseph E. Brown by "Incog," but what Joseph him self waa masquerading aa his own Boawell and leading us into waya that are dark. Everybody knows that your Uncle Joseph is a mighty smart man, but we do not believe he can stand many more such biographies as this. The work is for sale at the book stores. Whatever else may be said of this notice, it need nof be doubted thatit will bring many purchasers for the book. As an article for the toilet. Ayer’s Hair Vigor stands nnrivaled.

Atlanta, February 18.—Mr. R. B. Raney, formerly of the Kimball House, now of the Yarboro House, North Carolina, has been in tiie city several days among his friends, and looking after the interest of the At lantic Hotel, Morehead City. N. C., which lie has secured for the summer season of 1884. Mr. Raney has made and is making the most extensive improvements, is fa miliar with the wants and tastes of our people, and on Jqne 1st. will throw open at Morehead City a magnificent hotel, with nil modern conveniences, under a man agement and servcic that will make it es pecially attractive to Southern people. Morehead City is becoming a popular re sort, and tho readers of the Tkleorapii, many of whoih leave home during the hot months, will find it well worth their while to consider the Atlantic Hotel in their summer programme. Fuller details of the attractions of the hotel, rates, etc. may be seen elsewhere in this paper. FIOIIT OVER PATENT BATIIs! In the United States Court this morning a Mrs. Icks. of Louisville, Ky,, filed a bill praying aa injunction against Dr. Ludwig Von Doleck, restraining him from hawk ing her patent baths. It appears that the Doctor is engaged in selling certain patent baths which Mrs. Icks elaims is an in fringement of her own patent—that the baths are identical, and that the patent is hers. Judge McCay has issued a rule nisi calling upon the Doctor with tho foreign name to show cause why the injunction should not be granted. TO THE MACON MASQUERADE. Quite a party of Atlanta society folks will attend the masquerade ball to be given in Macon Wednesday night. Prominent among these are Mr. and Mrs. W. W. AusteH, well-known leaders in social circles here. * Mr. Austell is one of our wealthiest young men, popular and a princely entertainer. His accomplished and charming wife, an acknowledged and admired leader of Atlanta society, is the daughter of Judge O. A. Lochrane, upon whom Macon may rightly assert a strong claim. Mr. and Mrs. N. K. Winsliip, and their sweet little daughter Irene, of Macon, who have been here several days, returned home this afternoon. Major Lamar Cobb, of Athens, is here to-day. On this particular visit he dis claims having any designs on the State treasury In the interest of the university. It must be said, however, that the treasury rarely escapes him.

There is already consid erable speculation as to the more promi nent delegates who will be selected to rep resent the State. There are to be elected four delegates from the State at large and two from each Congressional district. For delegates at large I have heard the following names suggested as candidates: Buck, Pledger, Forsyth, Johnson and Pleasants. It is also understood generally that Republicans would favor putting for ward as a delegate at large Emory Speer, but for politic reasons it is not likely that any effort will be made in that direction. Of those named three are pretty certain of election, Buck, Pledger and Pleasants. It is not probable that either Forsyth or Johnson will go as delegate-at-large, for the reason that Forsyth *an t, and John- son will prefer to go from his own district. v . If this be true, the fourth honor will fall Orders of $5 and upwards by express, to some dark horse, as Atkins or Devreaux, be sent at our expense. Address nil orpei with chances in favor of the latter. There - J. J. DOUG LAN, Covington, K will be numerous candidates for delegates from this district, perhaps forty, but the indications are that J. E. Bryant and W, D. Moore will win the honors.

Brown,” by Col Herbert Fiel der, was by far the most atrractive article in your Sunday’s paper. Your criticisms are eminently just and proper. To prop erly understand tho relations existing be tween the author and the subject of the book above named, allow your correspon. dent to refer you to the published report of the investigation of the ratification of tho State road lease, which investigation was conducted by a legislative committee in the year 1870, the chairman of which com mittee now holds the position of Governor of Georgia—namely, Henry D. McDaniel. It became necessary for Governor Brown to appear before the com- it tec to give testimony as to how and where he nsed money to con trol the Legislature when the subject of ratification was before that body. Chair man McDaniel examined that distin guished gentleman. Question by Mr. Mc- “Go on, Governor, and state to whom you paid any sums tf money.” Answcr-*‘Now, gentlemen, the balance of the money was paid to attorneys at law to represent us before the populace and the Legislature, and whenever our rights were discussed before them to set u* right ploy© nrefei .....USE. >111.111 ill nu UB 1 IU11 l It might be said they were cm- red as attorneys and lobbyists «r not to mention the the attorneys.
