, Gordon's proclamation. '
Ixwdon, February 18.—The Time* this
morning, in discuming General Gordon's
Khartoum proclamation ol yesterday,
■eys: "General Gordon is well awafo that
steps are being taken In lower Kgypl to
discourage amnestic slavery. He knows
too that England's guarantee of tbo Red
H*a ports cuts off tbs means of exit by
which slavee have liecn disposed of to
other countriee, while he believes that bis
own work in the Congo country will effec
tually cheek the inlloiv of slaves. In view
of theso facta the clause in General Gor
don’s proclamation removing all restric
tions upon the stave trade assumes the
character of little practical significance.''
Murder in Hazard#
The report came in yesterday that a
murder hod been committed in the Haz
ard district over three weeks ago, and yet
no mention had been made to the Solid-
tor-General or any other officer of the
county. There can he no doubt that there
was a murder committed, but the report
came in too late yesterday afternoon to
get either names or details. The only

that about three weeks ago a negro Ixr
was murdered by another negro, and hi

SAD ACCIDENT—MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR
ANCE—SOCIAL AND PERSONAL ITEM8.
February 19.—It becomes my r,ad
duty to chronicle a most distressing
event which occurred hero this morn
ing as the Northern bound fast mail
passed this point. This train brings
the morning issue of vour valuable
paper, a journal looked for witli eager
anxiety by its many readers. In throw
ing the same from the train (it does
not stop here) the mail agent missed
his mark, and, horrible to relate, the
package rolled back under tho wheels,
cutting it up and scattering the papers
for a distance of some two hundred
yards. Hence, wo aro without our
Telegraph this morning.
A servant employed in the family of
G. W. White, l!sq., disappeared very
mysteriously during Monday night,
nnd though diligent search has been
made for her since, her whereabouts
has not yet been discovered. She was
living in the yard other employer, con
sidered entirely trustworthy, and her
strange freak, if such it is, cannot
be accounted for. Everything in her
little house is in good order; nothing is
missing. Superstitious as most negroes
are, it may be that a screeching owl,
with them a sign of a death, and heard
by her not long since, may have re
visited tho neighborhood and frighten
ed her out of her wits. But the ques
tion is: Where is she?
Captain \V. H. Hartnett is confined
to his bed, caused by tho breaking out
of an old wound, received by him in
his right arm during the late unpleas
antness. His many friends wish him
a speedy recovery.
Mr. J. J. Little, formerly a citizen of
Griffin, but now claiming Fort Smith,
Arkansas, as his home, is paying
this, his old home, a visit. Ho is ac
companied by bis daughter, Miss
Jessie, who will attend the Lucy Cobb
Institute at Athens. -
Judge A. A. Porter, an old and
esteemed citizen of this place, is quite
ill at his residence on Poplar street.
April weather is visiting us to-day.
We’ve had thunder, wind and ram
within the last hour.
CONYERS.
SUPEBIOB COURT—POLITICIANS AT WORK
—the issue is "whisky oe no wins
KY.”
February 18.—Rockdale Superior
Court convened to-day, Hon. John D.
Stewart, judge of said court, presiding.
Judge Stewart delivered a very able
charge to the grand jury, and among
other truths stated that "pistols and
whisky were two of the greatest
agents the devil used to destroy the
world.” We notice, besides our local
bar, Hon. F. A. Irwin, of Cobb, nnd
Captain J. M. Pace, of Covington, in
attendance. Solicitor-GeneralE. Wo
mack is also on hand, and is a terror to
ovil doers.
•Col. L. F. Livingston was on our
streets to-day shaking hands with his
numerous friends.
Capt. Harry Jackson, of Atlanta, is
hero also, looking after his political in
terests. Capt. Jackson is doing some
tall electioneering in Rockdale, and is
making many friends among our peo
ple, and I would not be tho least sur-
8 rised if he succeeds in winning tho
elegation from this county.
Mr. Hammond lias many followers
here, and some of our leading poli
ticians espouse his cause, and declare
tiiat he is entitled to the support of
Rockdale county, and must have it.
Altogether, tho race will bo between
Jackson and Hammond, and neither
has tho advantage of tho other. No
one lias yet had the courage to
declare himself a candidate for
representative. Many prominent
gentleman arc spoken of.
Among tho number Dr. J. A. Stewart,
Jndge A. C.McCalia, Judge George W.
Glcaton nnd Col. W. Peek, ourpresent
representative. I think the issue will
bo "whisky” or "no whisky” and I
think furthermore tho whisky side will
get left as usual.
Capt. J. M. Zackry returned from
Florida to-day, where ho lias been
since October last.
It is rumored that Maj. John
Green, general manager of tho Georgia
rallroud, will change tlio Covington
and Atlanta accommodation train ami
havo it stop at Lithonia, six miles
above Conyers; and a petition is going
tho rounds and being signed by many
of our citixcnsand business men asking
him if any cliango is made to mako
Conyers tlie terminus instead of Litho
nia.
Cost of trie Capital.
Washington Republic.
I have been figuring up wbet this capita
of ours has cost us sinco the beginning,
and 1 find tbit the amount is over $1<W-
000,000. The subject was investigated by
Congress In 1870. The total stthstHme was
a cost of 8WJW2.423; since then 85.Wp.000
has been paid out for nublic buildings
■done, and the amounts paid out for works
of art, park decorations and other Uilngs
will run the total far ahead of Hie amounts
above stated. For a number of years
it has cost more than 81.000,000 a year to
nar the government expenses of tho Dis
trict of Columbia, nnd since 1802 the
amounts have been much higher. Jto 1873
the amount was more than 88,000 (MO. In
1875 the .mount wes more than $7,-
000000, while from 1828 to 1852 It
wsi less thin 81,000.000 a year. In 1814
only 81.800 was appropriated for the Dis
trict ot Columbia, and it was not until 1837
that the yearly proportion reached 81,000..
000. It is interesting to look orsr the
Hems of permanert improvements in
Washington. These include the original
cost ot (tlie buildings end their repairs,
furnishing and keeping in order. The fob
lowing estimate, fficmgta not exactly cor.
rect, h approximately so. It Is less rather
than greater than the actual coat, some of
•the minor expenses daring the past seven
year being omitted, The capital hu coat
817.773,121; the patent office, over 813.000.-
000; Hie treasury about 87,200,OW; the
Washington streets, more Uun 8p.0ppJX»(
the State department about S. .000,000; the
r»vy nearly 84.BW.iW); the White Home,

8lgnlng Petitions.
Exchange.
It is a frequent saying that you can get a
man to sign a petition for anything. In
Cincinnati a year or two ago one promi
nent merchant tot another $100 that he
could get one hundred first-class signatures
among the members of the Chamber of
Commerce asking for the immediate execu
tion of the mayor of the city for gross inal-
feasance in office. The man who proposed
tlie tot at once drew up a petition reciting
imaginary wrongs on the part of the mayor
and asking the Legislature (which haa no
authority over him) to hang him for them.
Going from one business friend to another,
he said: "Here’s a litt e petition I want
you to sign. It’s all right. Just a needed
change in the city government. Hurry
'ip; give me your name." Before the close
f the business day he was able to tack
that ridiculous petition on the wall with
one hundred signatures hanging to it. That
isn’t done every day, but something like

Habitual Coativeneaa.
So many persons suiler with habitual
costiveness. A dose of Norman’s Neutral
izing Cordial after each meal, will break
up tho most stubborn case. It gives tone
to the stomach thereby stimulating the
liver to healthy action.
Congressman Hammond.
B&vannah News.
Representative Hammond is at his home
in Atlanta on a short visit to recuperate
his health. He has taken very little part
in the proceedings of Congress this winter
on account of serious illness. There ap
pears to to an impression that he will not
secure a renomination without a struggle.
It may be that this impression is created
by those who are seeking tho position
which he occupies. Mr. Hammond is rec
ognized in Washington as one of the ablest
men in Congress. It is certain that he is
a conscientious worker, and that there are
few, if any, who have a better acquaint
ance witli the leading measures before
Congress. His retirement from public life
would to a loss to Georgia. As capable a
man might to chosen to succeed him, but
it would take m new man a good while to
become as well equipped for legislative
work in Congress as Mr. Hammond is. A
faithful and capable representative ought
to to kept in Congress as long os he will
consent to remain there.
The disfiguring eruptions on the face,
the sunken eyes, the pallid complexion,
indicate that there is something wrong
going on within. Expel the lurking foe to
health, Ayer’s 8arsapari)la was devised
for that purpose; ana docs it.
Arthur the Candidate and the Bfooay
Shirt the Issue.
Mr. J. B. McCaUagh. editor of the Globe-
Democrat, has been interviewed to the
extent ot nearly a column by tho Post-
Dispatch on the Republican nomination
for'Prcsident. He seems to think that
Arthur will get tho nomination. He gives
him credit for a large partion of what he
calls the reduction of the Democratic ma
jority in New York from 103.000 to 20,000.
rad says that il Arthur can secure a major-
ly of the New York delegation, and he
thinks he can, he will get tho Presidential
nomination. Edmunds is the Attest man
for tho position, but is not as strong as
Arthur; and Logan, he says, stands no
showing at all. zle will only get a compli
mentary vote. He says that Arthur nos
made a careful, upright and eminently
fair administration, one that will require
no defense from his party. The tariff
question, he says, will not to an issue.
When asked what would be tlio issue he
replied: "The bloody shirt, and that sort
of thing."
"Don’tjrou think that dboatwom out?"
"Not by any means. There are at least
two moro Presidents in the bloody shirt,"
was the reply.

A Pause In Politic,.
New York Sun.
Washington, February 17.—Congreszl
has been In session more than two months
of what Is known as a Presidential year,
and both i«rUes have confronted each
other In silence, without a positive move
ment having been made on either aide
likely to effect the election next November.
It was Intended by ono wing of tho Demo
cracy to make thvtariff Hie most marked
line of separation between the Democrats
and Republicans; but both sides are more
or less distracted by the economic theories
that are respectively urged by the advo
cates of protection and ot tariff reform, and
as no bin on Uiia subject is likely to pass
at the present session. It may be dismissed
for the action or the silence of the two
national convenUons.
The real and practical difference between
the two parties la In the adminlstraUon of
the government That difference has been
broadly defined since the close of the civil
war, and bos led to repeated defeats of Hie
Republicans, beginning with the elecUou
of Mr. Tilden in 1*7:1
By their acta, and throughout their long
[possession of power. The Republicans
have distineHy declared in favor ofthe
largest public expenditures,and for extrav
agance in carrying on the government.
Thla policy has ledto the continuation of
[war taxes like the internal revenue, andl
inevitably to corrnpUoh, jobbery and de-
■eralixaUon.
Tlie governmeht baa been run continu
ously in these ruts for twenty years, ex-1

Putting aside all the common generali

The Republicans are aa badly split into

be nominated if the wisdom of expediency
shall prevail.
