Oun friends in Southwestern Georgia should not get discouraged in boring artesian wells. In Elmira, N. Y., Thomas Perry, a well-known oil and salt well driller, contracted with the Warsaw Salt Company to drill it a well at Warsaw, some months ago, for $3,500, The work was only completed a few days ago, owing to the extraordi nary character ami thickness of the strata encountered. The drill passed through seventeen feet of clay, 300 foot of shale, in which n stream of fresh water like an underground river was struck, 050 feet of slate, US feet of ex tremely hard coniferous limestone, sev enty-one feet of pure flint, 354 feet of Iloidelburg limestone and ninety feet of mixed salt and shale, before the salt Georgia and the Exposition, Mr. DeWitt C. Bacon, United States commissioner for Georgia, hacked by the Stato commissioners, is making strenuous efforts to have Georgia cred itably represented at the great World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Ex position to he held in New Orleans in 1884-1885. These gentlemen have just issued their third circular to the people of the State; from it we glean the fol lowing: The exposition iias been projected upon a scale never before attempted. The exposition company lias at its dis posal millions of dollars, and Louisiana and the great city of New Orleans at its hack. Congress appropriated for a grand Federal government display the vein was reached—a total depth of sum of $588,000, in addition to the 1,099 feet. The vein itself was sixty- $1,000,000 already loaned to the com- ionr feet thick and almost as transput- pane. ent as crystal. The drilling of the well The Southern States have promptly costtke contractor $11,500, as much as exerted themselves to place their the work on threeordinary wells would 1 natural advantages before the vast cost, and involving a loss to him of $8,000. Colonel J. H. Estill seems to be opposed to himself for Governor; and so South Georgia can’t yet see her way out of the woods. Blaine will not write Mb letter of acceptance until he can get a shot at the nominees and platform of the July convention at Chicago. The strongest sign of Blaine’s weak ness is. the reduction in sixe of the Na tional Republican. This betrays a wo- ful lack of soap, early in the campaign. Just as soon ns the Teleokapii and Messenger stoops, as if to pickup a stone, certain papers in the State begin tosqnall. It is a very suspicious af fair. [ Pretty, sweet, Industrious girls arc the perfection of creation, and they are indigenous to Macon. This is what makes the Florida boys come here when matrimonially inclined. The Telegraph and Messenger can not weep until it is bereaved, even to gratify the denrly-bcloved Jeremiahs of the State press. They are few in number, but they weep uproariously. We cannot follow them to our own im aginary funeral. It is naturally very amazing to loynl Republican editors to see the cold blooded caricaturists of the Northern pictorial weeklies let loose on their own chosen leaders. When the South and the Democratic party were the victims they enjoyed Illustrated poli tics. Now let them stand their turn like little men. The people ought to see their way clear towards declaring forfeited the seats of those Congressmen who refuse to vote in favor of forfeiting the un earned grants of land to railroad cor porations. Such voting savors of "re tainers ;’’ and the people can’t Afford to take any risks in the matter. Congress men ought to be above suspicion. The unanimity and good temper that prevailed in the Florida Democratic Convention should be looked upon as a good augury. However, unanimity and good temper aro not, in themselves alone, guarantees of success. It will take solid work, from now till election d»v, to keep Florida in the Democratic column—if we read the indications aright. "England has had a commission to regulate passenger anil freight rates on railroads for about ten years past, and jost now the railroads arc making a desperate attempt to secure the under hold on the commission, just as they are doing in Georgia to-day.”—Albany Medium. England has a number of laws that are not exactly the things tor free countries like ours. But the Eng lish commission allows appeals to the courts in certain cases, while our law allows appeals in no case. It is afraid of it! own courts, leat they should pre vent “discrimination” against the rail roads. It this lie not the reason for de nying the right of appeal, it is in order for our contemporary to state it. The Americus Recorder makes sn important suggestion in the following paragraph: “The people of Southwest Georgia would like to see some new railroads built, and believing tliat the Railroad Commission stands in the way of their building, they would like to the law creating that commission mod ified. They can only secure its modifi cation by the election of legislators pledged to such modification, and they should see that candidates express themselves squarely upon the nuta tion.” It will he found, doubtlesa, that the people of Southwest Georgia are not the only ones interested in the modifi cation of the powers of the Railroad Commission, to the end that there may be a revival in railroad building in the State. Banker James will have to face the criminal code. Mr. Mercer has had him nabbed on a case which he de scribes as follows: "Mr. James has promised to pay me, and failed to do so, and now I want him to show up what he has done with my money and that of all the others. I found him moving things out of the bank after midnight the night he closed, and I want to know if any of my money was in the lot. Then 1 know he refused to cash a check presented to him st 1 o’clock that day, but did not hesitate to take in my money after 2 o'clock. I charge that he must have known lie was insolvent when he took my money. All 1 want is to have the grand jury and the courts pass upon tbs honesty of the scheme by which I am to-night out of my money." The Chances nt Chicago. The few but active politicians who have been engineering the present campaign for the Democracy have about exhausted their resources without the accomplishment of anything tangi ble or satisfactory. Within little more than a week of the assembling of the nominating con-, vention the public mind still fails to concentrate about any particular candi date. The State conventions have been held, and all that could be done for Messrs. Bayard, Thurman, McDonald, Field, Flower and Cleve land has tieen done, and yet there has been nothing developed that would hint at unanimity in behalf of any of the parties named. In violation of an established rule of whist, “when in doubt to lead from the longest suite,” these restless politicians, dazed and dumbfounded by' the failure of their own machinations, now propose to lead from a sneak. An attempt is being made to inflate the TUden boom. This is impossible, and may he set aside at once and forever. It is better that the attempt is made now than a week or ten days later. li the party shall pursue the plan laid down and accepted at first, then it must nominate a man who can carry New York and make a hopeful fight for the doubtful States. In this event the choice must be con fined to Messrs. Flower, Bayard and Cleveland, for by common consent it is agreed that one or the other of these is most likely to carry New York. Therefore putting aside all real or imaginary objections that may he raised to the candidacy of these gen tlemen, the party must pursue its plan to its legitimate conclusion and nomi nate one or tho other, and then make an earnest and united effort to elect him. In order to do this there must lie a complete nnd sincere sacri flee of all personal considerations upon the part of the delegates charged with the duty-of selecting a nominee. In that event the clmpaign will be narrowed and simplified. Suc cess will follow if the plan has been rightly laid, is properly carried out, and the nominee can carry New York, tho doubtful States and the solid South. This is business. It is machine poli tics, bereft of anything approaching en thusiasm or hero worship. It is u cold calculation of chances, to he supple mented, os far os possible, by those sinews which in these days are used in politics as well os in war. This being agreed upon it is nonsense to talk about the man, his experience, his triumphs, his abilities. All that is desired is tliat lie shall be aide to cover the points laid down. It will be simple fight for present position, and there is much In this consideration. The Democratic party in the presence of the great petit which threatens the country should not hesitate to stlfie sentimentalism, if this will enable it to drive the Republican party from power. If this plan is not adopted the party- must fight on a higher line. It must present a candidate of unimpeachable record, of great abilities, virtues and experience, and who will appeal in himself to the liest sentiment and as pirations of the country. It must put up a man who will tower above James Blaine in everything. And he is •nggested in the person of Justice Field. This will be admitted by friends and foes, and is not necessary to be bolstered by argument or illustration. No consideration for the wild ravings of a faction in California should bo per mitted to stand between him and his selection. He is brave, active, learned and pore, and would give to the coun try an administrative policy which would reform its errors, pacify its ani mosities, and push it rapidly forward in the march ol improvement. At this juncture it may be said of him,that while he is, perhaps, the hardest man to nominate, he will be the easiest to elect. Already tiie reaction has set in In California. The sober second thought of the people revolts at the shame a few politicians have put upon them A late dispatch from 8an Fran cisco says “that Messra. Kohler, Mar tin and Sharp, three of the Presidential electors nominated at the recent Demo cratic State convention of California, have declined to serve because they neitber approve of the platform or the action of the convention in regard to Jndge Field. Mr. Kohler has pub lished a card, in which he announces his pnrpose to support Judge Field.' If in the judgment of the delegates already selected by the people, the party should not deem either of the plans discussed as wise and promising of suc cess, then a search must te made for other men, whose names have not en tered into this Presidential discussion number of visitors who will undoubted ly congregate in New Orleans, the wisdom of which course can be seen when it is understood that North Caro lina lias already received a million of dollars in mineral land investments, the result of $17,000 placed in her min eral display at Boston last fall, while similar displays by Alabama at Philadelphia, Louisville and Boston, resulted in building up her Birming ham and Anniston. South Carolina and Alabama have each appropriated $10,000, and commissioners have raised as much more; North Carolina has placed $50,000 and her handsome cabi nets in the hands of her representa tives; Tennessee steps to the front with $20,000: Missis sippi appropriates $12,500, and will raise $10,000 by subscriptions Louisiana has a legislative appropria tion of $100,000; Virginia one of $50,- 000; Texas one of $20,000; Flsrida one of $27,000 and an increasing subscrip tion list. Georgia is barred by a con stitutional provision from making a legislative appropriation, hence the present commission, Tiie plan laid out by the gentlemen who lia\'c undertaken to have Georgia represented is to divide the State into its ten Congressional districts, let each accumulate its funds and make a dis trict display at Macon during the State fair, after which the ten displays will be shipped to New Orleans and shown under one head as the Georgia exhibit. Geological and mineral cabinets will bo in charge of an expert. Correspond ence with persons interested is re quested. In concluding the circular the com missioner says: To secure a full, handsome and credit able display, the result can only be reached through the personal energy of every Georgian. The people must lay aalde formalities and come with a rush to tho assistance of tho com missioners. It must bu remembered that we arc without funds. We have up to tho pres ent day given a great deal of our time to the work, and will continue to do ao until the ob ject which Is sought to be accomplished Is se cured beyond the possibility of a doubt. Our people aro proud of our State, and they havo every reason to be so. Will this pride tako a back seat at this Important time, and allow the graud opportunity that Is offered us through the medium of tho World's Indus trial and Cotton Centennial Exposition to he lost? We think not. W'e know too how well the Interest of every Georgian Is: roused for the prosperity of the State, and, we are sat isfied, all that Is necessary Is to cull the atten tion of tho people to the Impoitaucc and scope of the work before us, When this is dono we will feel that more than half has been accomplished.

FROM ATLANTA. I as Chat- rtermelon fmipletoly Sanitary science The ElectoratiCount Bill. In view of the possibility that the pending Presidential contest may be a very close one, both houses of Congress have addressed themselves to the preparation of a bill providing for the count of the electoral vote, which may avoid the scandalous outrage of another electoral commission. In January last the Senate passed a hill on this subject known as the Hoar bill. The House has just passed a substitute for this bill, as offered by Mr. Eaton. The House bill provides for a joint session of the two houses of Congress for counting the votes, and that such convention shall not be dissolved till the count shall have been completed and the result declared. It also pro vides that any recess which the joint convention may take while the vote is counting shall not be for a longer time than one calendar day, and that after the first recess succeeding the begin ning of tho count no farther recess shall be taken until the count has been completed and the result declared. It provides .that in ease of objection to the counting of any vote of the State and in case more than one return shall have been received from the State, tho question in tho first instance shall bo of the counting of the vote of the State, and, secondly, of which return shall lie read and counted, shall bo sub mitted to tiie joint convention by the presiding officer, and that three hours having been allowed if necessary for debate, the vote shall then be taken per capita, commencing with the State of Alabama, and the convention shall thus decide the question. These pro visions with respect to the settlement of the question concerning tho recep tion and counting of tho voto of States in the coses of objection thereto, or of more than one set of returns constitute the principal difference between the Hoar bill and tiie substitute adopted by the House. Tiie Hoar hill provides that in such coses tho two Houses act ing separately, shall concurrently de termine tire question. It is a matter of considerable doubt, if at tills late day in tire session, the two Houses will agree upon a hill that may become a law. Tho Eatlll Boom. Tire Brunswick Ilerald, which claims the distinction of having engineered tire Estill gubernatorial boom, pub lishes a letter from Mr. Estill, in which he rather puts away the proffered honor. But the Herald is not at all Inclined to give it up in this way. It says “While Col. Estill may havo been committed to the gubernatorial aspir ant, it by no means follows that those who know his worth may not demand his services; and if the boom in his favor continues, thore will be very great doubt about the ‘majority’ vote at the Atlanta convention. Wo repeat, the Herald is for Col. Estill first, last and oil the time.” A singular tiling about the booms of this season is that they all come to stay, and have a sort of dead or alive determination about them. The Her ald is evidently in earnest, and lias backing that seems, at these presents, to be growing rather than diminish ing. Cholarn. There can lie no doubt but that the cholera la making one of It* periodical pilgrimages and that this country may not hope to avoid its visitation. It is a settled fact that it exists at Toulon and Marseilles, two French ports, our noon dispatches convey ing the inionnation, that fires are burn ing in tire streets of the latter city to arrest the disease and to protect the public health. Advices received in Han Francisco by tire steamer San Pab lo, which has arrived from Shanghai, state that cholera has broken out in the neighborhood of Pekin. Those attacked by the disease die in a few hours. The diseaae first made its ap pearance at Yangstun, a large town between Tien-Ten and Pekin. No par ticulars have been received. Two cases are also reported at Toldo, Japan. Tire alarm lias spread over the con tinent of Europe, and active prepara tions are being made to combat it. It is known that it is the most difficult ot all contagious diseases to successfully bar by a quarantine, no matter how rigid. Marseilles and Toulon are two cities with wretched sani tary systems and are consequently likely to famish food to the disease. New York is connected with Marseilles by two steamship lines, thus rendering the chances of its coming to our shores almost a certainty. Scientists claim tliat It has a fixed course and has not yet failed to march over its entire length. It Is believed to be the genuine Asiatic cholera. “A Paris morning paper publishes interviews with M. Pasteur and Dr. Vulpian. M. ^Pasteur, tire eminent earant, said, regarding the immediate cause of the disease: ‘There is surely a microbe of cholera. Cholera comes from India, where It is epidemic. We know that cholera is both infectious and epidemic.’ M. Pasteur added tliat the beat preventive is good hygiene, and above all, tire avoidance of water from wells In infected towns. M.

The motto of our contemporary seems to be: “The least good the greatest number of railroads"—“as soon as they get out of their swaddling clothes.’’ It would be good fo them until they pass that critical stage. Bro. Lewis says that the editor-fh-cblef oftheTiLcoRAPit and Mcsssnoir did not write the article on “Hard Sweating aa a Power,” and raps us for our criticism.

Atlanta, June 20.—The mystery attach- lng to the average walking match has come to be almost as perplexing a puzzle as the Rose murder. It would be of great interest, but a very great, if not impossi ble, undertaking to determine just how walking matches are lost and won. The theories that are advanced are numerous and ot various degrees of complication. Atone time It is “drugged,” then “mica," the fatal egg, the professional selling nut. ' lastly, as alleged, big . The next match will doubtless develop some mi a- cuu-cof de feat or victory, iiiorestriKiiig possibly tliau either of tlios-i already enumerated.

The Capitol Commission has been ad vised by Mr. Edbrooke, the architect, that he wtU be in the city July 1 and will confer with parties desiring to make bids of material or work on the new capital, and to give such information as may be needed in reference to the plana, the material, or contracts for building as will facilitate tha comnletion of bids at the time appointed. Mr. Edbrooke in his letter, further says, that at the Chicago office bidding has been very spirited, and the prospect excellent that when the bids are opened July 15, they will be numerous enough. The commission bad recently received new specimens of granite from Campbell and Hancock counties, and a beautiful specimen ot oolitic limestone from Ken tucky quark-s, worked by a Nashville com pany. The specimens now on exhibition at the capitol ot Georgia granite and mar ble are of a quality to make every Georgian feel proud of the resources of his State. Atlaxta, Jnne 27.—Coroner Hilkurn re sumed the grand Inquest over the murder of Mrs. Rose tills momjng. Quite a num ber of witnesses were examined during tbe forenoon, but no new facta of importance were developed. Rose, the husband of the mutdered woman, was brought in after dinner and closely examined until the hoar of adjournment to-night. During the tedious trial of the cross-examination be was cool and self-possessed, and helped the jury not at all in the effort to find evidence against him. Late this evening the jury ad journed to meet again at 8 o'clock to-mor row morning, when they will make up a verdict. It has all along been believed that the verdict would implicate Rose, but from what I could learn to-night, unless there should be some new developments point ing to Rose as the murderer, he will be discharged. He was given a cell at police headquar ters to-night. After dark your correspon dent stood near his cell door and saw Mr. Jones, his father-in-law, kneeling on the outside, Rose kneeling behind the bars, both engaged in getting away with a huge watermelon. Both seemed in the posses sion of an able-bodied appetite and evinced no concern as to tbe result o( the inquest. $15,000 DAMAOZS. Tbe suit of John 8.

Atlanta, Juno 28.—Tbe weekly budget of happenings and sensations, when summed up, even cursorily indicate that Affiants is maintaining her proud position as a lively and growing metropolis. Of course tba Uta ol a live town depends chioily on occurrences and ovents out of the ordinary or usual. Looking at It from that point of view, that town Is liveliest which hat the greatest number of such startling or extraordinary happenings. The records of a year would give Atlanta a very prominent position in the procession. For the week just closing there was the grand inter-city walking match, with all the interesting incidents therewith con nected; Coroner Hilburn'a protracted but battled Inquest over the mys terious ltose murder; tha death ot Jack Donellr, who was stabbed two or three .Sundays ago by Ben Childs, aa tba outcome of Sunday whisky. This little tragedy has furnished the coroner an- othercorps* to ait on to-day. Yesterday a beautiful little halie was found, whoseeyea were scarce old enough to look out upon the great world, inhumanly and cowardly left by its unknown patents to the mercy and charity of strangers. The infant was unusually pretty and dressed In the dain- tleat and costliest child’s garments, which it is estimated must have coat the un known somewhere in the region of a Iran- dred-dollar bill, a circumstance which gives rise to tbe inference that the guilty parties were in good condition financially and moved In high circles somewhere. That we have anottier interesting mystery, which la likely to remain a mystery for the present. During tbe week, too, the tweet girl grad- nates have played their part, emerging from the school room, moving for a brief space athwart the stage, before an en raptured audience, like a dream of beauty or a Venus from out the sea foam, shed ding charming essays and sweet thoughts like perfumed dew—the curtain falls, tbe lights are out and sod sty and faabion claim these lovely heroines for their very own.
