Little by little the property ot Bouthem men, stolen by the "Christian warriors ot the North,“ is being restored. 8enator Bbown will probably not enjoy the statement of the Constitution to the cf feet that be is threatened with canoniza tion, out in Utah, along with Joe Smith and Brigham Young. There are kinds of fame that even a United States Senator tbuns. No great damage would result if those who make a profession of forging titles to land in lower Georgia could be bung, for fifteen or twenty minutes, by way of en forcing on Ihent lessons of common bon- esty. . Tiie Stale authorities did not begin to move against the land pirates in lower Georgia a moment too soon. Are the comi ty officials In that section alive to the im portance of putting an end to land steal ing? Oenebal Woolvosd, Democratic repre sentative lrom Kentucky, who was a Union ntan, delivered the oration at Ar lington. He suid if there had necn no praycra, no men, no votes for the nation's defense save those called In party par lance Itepubllcan, the llug would have gone down. , Treke is no need In Georgia for a legis lature that hasn't wit enougit to devise a law, under which land-stealing can be broken up. It ought not to be a difficult matter to provide a means to run down tbo manufacturers of fraudlent titles, and it ought to be a labor ol love to tire legis lature to provide a statute tinder which they could be elatl In stripe* for a long farm of years. _ Tmb .Valioiuil Kt]iul>liran, referring to the shooting of the Washington Light In fantry, says; Pint Serscnut William L.

This Is the third time he lm* woo it Sergeant Cash was formerly of Colum bus, In this State, and was one ot the title team that went to England last year. “SaasToa Brown Is In danger of being canonized In Utah and cannonaded hi New England," is the way in which the Cbiuti- lafion puts it. It docs look that way. Dot why should tha Mormons wish to canon- ise Senator Brown? fa It posi&hi that ] they look upon him as the Defender u( the Polygamous Faith? Georgia cannot bo promt at seeing one of her Senators in the galaxy of polygamous saints. Taa New York lleeald does not believe la tbo Georgia walkers. Referring to the ptopaeed match in this city, it says: “We do not believe very good time will he made, however, tor the experience ol the North daring the war showed that a Georgian's legs were the least serviceable part of him —he made a very much better tighter than tunner." That is true, very true; hut Georgians excel in everything. If John B. Oorman were here, he could spin off eeveoly-five or eighty miles in the twelve boon without dsnqenlnghls paper collar. for a ruler that issues ills edicts from an invalid’s chair. In the earlier and better daya of the republic, it would have been thought a strange thing if one tiad proposed going into some private infirmary to select a man for the chief magistracy of the country. At no time in the history of this great and growing nationality lias there ever been an occasion when such a policy was so much at variance with every consideration of the public good as at the present time A half century, or three-quarters of a century, ago, the government may be said almost to have run itself. The man at the helm need not have been physically strong, to meet and properly discharge the duties of that station. But times have changed. Tito duties of the Presidency have become vastly more numerous and more arduous, in themselves considered. Added to this, there lias been nearly a quarter of a century of misrule. Hundreds of evils have crept into gov ernmental methods. Corrupliott lias honeycomlted all the departments, and the stain of improper methods lias af fixed itself to even the holy of holies of our governmental system. To make tlieneccssary investigations, to discover past and present irregularities, to trace the hundreds ol evils to their sources, to uncover frauds and rascalities in low places and in high places and to re store the government to its normal state of honesty, will require no ordi nary strength and endurance—to say nothing of moral and physical courage—on the part oi the com ing leader in administrative reform. Well may our Memphis contempora ry ask, in view of the Herculean labors of the position, what can a feeble old than, smitten with disease and tremb ling on the verge of the grave, do to meet tho demands of the occasion? If it were not known that there is a sol emn purpose to harness Paralysis to tiie wheel, anti forco it, under whip and spur, to tug at tiie mountainous load of evils, that itavo been accumu luting through twenty-four years of corruption and misrule, it would seem to he a mere vagary—a wicked jest of tiie enemies of reform. “Truth is nighty and w ill prevail,” provided her battles are ably fought by forces strong ly and efficiently led. A paralytic may win victories over liis friends. It would lie a puzzle should ho win them over his enemies. In tho pres ence of strong leaders it would be a con fession of weakness to summon Infir mity to tiie front. We are unable to say what Demo crats want with such leadership as that. The country needs other leader ship. Every consideration of reform and good government demands some thing more titan tiie feeble embodi ment oi a sentiment, to marshal the forces that arc to meet giant evils in the coming struggle. Tiie issue is one of more titan ordi nary importance, and it should bo met in a spirit not even remotely related to that of personalism.

The receipts at the interior towns the past week reach 4,9S0bales; since Sep tember 1, 2,825,»40 bales. Tiie receipts at the same towns are 5,774 bales less than the same week last year, nnd a falling off for the season of 085,- 455 bales. Macon is credited with hales for the week, and with 50,901 bales for the season. As compared with last year, this shows a decrease of 15 hales for the week, and an increase for the season of 2,546 bales. The amount of cotton substantially in sight on the evening of the 30th, was 5,577,406 bales, a decrease as com pared with last year, of 1,219,830 bales. The imports for the week were 47,- 000 bales. The exports reached 17,442 bales, of which 15,478 were to Great Britain, 99 to France, 805 to the rest of the continent. Speaking of the fluctuations for the week the Chronicle says: The week under review has been much quieter in the speculation for future delivery, and the fluctuations in prices much lew im portant than last week. On Wednesday no tice* of delivery on June contracts came out quite freely, nnd being thrown upon the ket, declined a few points, while the next crop nlso favored buyer*, though to a smaller ex tent only. There 1ms been ft slight increase in the movement of cotton, due, probably, to tho financial pressure. Yesterday there was less depression, but a dull market, especially for the next crop.

Arch Orme—Hla Condition nnd tho Prospects for ht» Recovery—Re ports In Circulation—A Sun day TfA'igedy—Arson. [special CO UUE*> pox pence. 1 Atlanta, June 2.—One must go back quite a while In the history of Atlanta to find an occurrence which gave rise to fcuch public comment and general and genuine regret ns the attempted suicide of Mr. Arch Orme. The official position he held brought him into special prominence, and Ids social standing nnd family connection*, his gentlemanly manners and generous instincts attracted to him a large circle of friends. The attempted self-destruction and the deplorable condition in which it has left Mr. Orme. has overwhelmed his friend* with surprise and pain. Since they went to him near Ponce de Leon Spring* . on Saturday until the preseut hour, they rt have been anxious and in suspense, fear ing the worst, and almost without hope. Mr Orme has been all the*inic conscious, save when sleeping, and ha* had no very alarming symptoms. He slept well 'ari night, and this morning his condition is improving. At noon your correspondent interviewed Dr. Ridley, the attending phy- dcian. and learned from him that while the wounded tuan is no means out of danger, hi* conition has slightly improved. He slept last night without an anodyne, and this morn ing his pulse is 80 and hi* temperature 101. The wound was prolied about an inch and a half. No further effort has been made tu find the ball, for fear of fatal results. Dr. Ridley thinks the ball has lodged against die byain. It is still inipomible to measure the chances of recovery, but he is more hopeful to-day than .ho has yet baea. Mr. )tiuc seems perfectly indifferent as to yhetber be will live or die, has been cool ind self-possessed, and has at no time in- tolrea of his physicians as to his condition. About the streets the report is current .hat Mr. Orme is improving and will pTobabiy get well. What was the motive or reason of the attempt at suicide? This topic is more or less engaging the minds of every one, though 1 believe no statement has yet been made sufllciently reliable to set the matter at rest. The public seems, however, to have settled to the opinion thnt financial trouble connected with his otfice was the controlling cause. Reported investitfotions point to a shortage of seventeen or eigh teen thousand dollarv, divided between tho West i’olnt, Central. Georgia. Richmond nnd Danville and Georgia Pacific railroads. The West Point ruilroad, it is understood, had no bond, and finding the office behind with that road between $7,0C6 and $8,0U0, had al ready instituted suit nnd garnisheed funds lying in the bank, w “ * “ J ‘“ enta.

It is very rarely that the Southern Stated are visited by a spring dronth. Our dry weather, especially when it is o( long continuance, comes in the sum mer and fall, and very rarely in the spring. Last year, which was excep tional with regard to the light rainfall, was seasonable in the spring months, nnd it was midsummer before tho un- paralleled drouth of 1883 set in. We have just entered upon summer and yet in two-thirds ot tho State, with local exceptions, a drouth lias prevailed for gomo weeks. Tiie small grain has been greatly damaged, and in the northern part of the State, tho clover and grans have been cut off more titan one- half. Tito oat crop, whether fall or spring sown, is hardly worth harvest ing in many portions of the State. The short forage crop may be eked out by a littoral sowing of pens as soon os the small grain lias been harvested. Nothing makes n better or more nutri tious feed for horses, cows anti hogs than pea-vine hay cut and cured just before tho peas begin to turn brown If sorghum nnd pop-corn are gown broadcast with tiie pens, tho joint yield, witli anything like an average season, will be enormous. The more Ultoraiiy the land is manured, the more abundant will bo the crop. Chicago. The reader is again referred to our telegraphic dispatches for the latest in telligence from the Ucpublican conven tion. Tho convention does not move off smoothly. Like the Democrats, the Republicans have their hard heads and their soft heads, and each class is satis fied that all wisdom will die with itself, Tiie troubles which beset tho conven tion arc doubtless serious enough, otherwise there would not he so much delay. Neither tiie Blaine men nor the anti-Blaine men feel strong enough or sure enough to join battle, Both Bides are probably playing for time. The defeat of Powell Clayton, and tin election of Lynch as temporary chairman,was a masterly plcco of work and has not been without its effect. Blaine's forces do not seem to be as skillfully handled as those of the opposition. It may he that ho will not secure the prizo, but it still looks ns if it will bo Blaine—pos sibly Edmonds—or a now man. And yet if the balloting can lie protracted the convention may, from sheer disgust and exhaustion, decide to give the nomination to Arthur, who is already in office, and who, unlikohis competi tors, will not seek a re-election four years hence. Mr. Orrno was under liona with the other roads, or some of them, with his father, W. P. Orme, of WcstJ'oint, and L. P. Grant, sureties. 'I have heard that the Richmond and Dan ville and the Central railroad had dally settlement with tho union ticket office, and could hardly have carried any heavy bal ance in the office. It is further a part nnd parcel of these reports that should investigation dis close any shortage or deficiency, it will K miptly be made good. Those who best ew Mr. Arch Orme do not credit these reports, and still insist that his accounts will he found all right. It la to be hoped that they may so prove.

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY. Decatur street was tiie scene of a tragedy I resterdsy evening which tuny result in Ding the coroner an engagement.

Tax Washington correspondent of the JUchmonl IHtyateh writes: “Governor •tgirdflcnnt Advice, Tt— "Ml«<!eif)hia Times sayfl! "Look to ttie Vicc-l’residency. Tho Vice- President has been President ono- third of the last forty-three years.” It is a highly projier and important tiling to look to the Vice-Presidency at any and all times, if for no other reason titan tiie frail and uncertain tenure of life. The reason given by the Times is a strong and an additional one. Vice- Presidents have held porter one-third of the time during the last forty-three year*. There are yet other reasons, those of qualification in the man him self and geographical location. Under our system ot politics the last it all im portant. Just now the wonts of warn ing from the Times come with peculiar force. There is evidently a'weli organized scheme to nominate Mr. Tilden. This organization lias permeated the entire country, and by its audacity and in dustry has dominated the opinion of men. Rut little or nothing has been said about the man who shall ride behind him, in case the plan is successful. It From Blbanr to Columbus. Tho Albany Medium informs us that tiie people of Columbus, Dawson and Albany pro|>oso to build a railroad from Albany to Columbus via Dawson, "in dependent of railroad corporations.” Tiie Medium invites our particular at tention to the enterprise,and to the fact thnt its projectors have no fenrs of the Railroad Commission. Wo aro rejoiced to learn that our friends are blessed witli sufficient means to build such a.line, “independent of railroad corporations,” and that they have no fenrs of the commissicn. In no other part of tiie State is money so abundant. Indeed, wo are unable at this time to recall a road that lias been constructed nnd equipped in Georgia since tho war, without the aid of tiie State, "railroad cori»>rations,” or out side capital. We are glad to learn that the new road will he an exception to the rule. Our contemporary manifests some slight distaste for railroad corpora tions. But what, we would inquire, will the new enterprise he, when com pleted, hut one of those same corpora tions? We fear the Medium, as well os the people along the route of the projected tine, will do os the rest of mankind have done—throw up their hats to the road until it has been finished, and then pelt it witli stones for the remainder of their natural lives, .Such has been the way of the world and such it will continue to he. The new road will not escape the * a * c other i.ads in this respect, and the commission will apply to it the same iron rule it has applied to all others. It is a curious fact in the history of railways, that everybody is in favor of them More they are built, and op posed to them afterwards.

Both were car ried upstairs enveloped in shawls and placed on a low office table. They were perfectly self-possessed and an swered the usual questions and repeat ed the declarations distinctly, hut in a thin, piping voice. After the irinrriuge they breakfasted at the Grand Hotel. In the afternoon the religious cere mony was celebrated in a large public hall, which was elaborately decorated witli lings nnd fiowera, and packed witli people.
