“Dislo" and Mr. Randall.
T lic new magazine called "Dixie,"
and published at Atlanta, contains an
article on the tariff in the September
number, attributed to Mr. Randall. By
Associated Tress, Mr. Randall takes
ov.asion to deny the authorship, and
claims that tho article in point is mado
np ol excerpts from bis speeches de
livered in Congress.
I.ant winter Mr. Randall was sub
jected to the mortification o( having It
telegraphed from Atlanta that he had
fallen upon the bosom of a "young
man" and had declared, between his
aob3, that tho adjournment of the
Georgia Legislature by a drunken rab
ble was the greatest deed In history.
Perhaps, when Mr. Randall starts
again to visit Georgia, he wilh not stop
before ho gels there.

Application of tho Sherman Theory.
John Sherman’s Theory has been
adopted and experimented with in this
section much sooner than one would
have supposed probable. This remark
able Theory has attracted much atten
tion of late, and its demonstration, al
beit not so satisfactory as might havo
been desired by Mr. Sherman himself,
demands some notice.
The Sherman Theory is, that the
Southern negro is a chattel of
the Republican party. To it belongs
his vole, his services and what
ever political capital he may com
mand. And tills party severally and
and in the aggregate has and have the
’exclusive right of control which of
course carries with it the power.
Any Southern negro caught aiding,
abetting or in silence enduring the
Democratic party must be regarded as
illegally controlled.
It is a beautiful Theory, susceptible
of high polish and well adapted to ex
tensive al fretco lying.
One of the Republican party journey
ing in Georgia and near Jonesboro,
for what purpose doth not appear, be
came impressed with this exquisite
Theory lathered by the Honorable
John. As he journeyed by day he
studied it. As he slept by night he
dreamed over it. For it was a goodly
Theory and enchanting from which ev
er direction he viewed it.
But this wandering Republican,
Dooiing by name, in tbe course of bis
journey beesme so entranced with Mr.
Sherman's delightful Theory as to for
get that two bodies moving in opposite
directions cannot safely pass without
going around, or over or un
der each other. The result was, he
locked wheels with an obstinate wood
wagon and had one oi his wheels torn
off. It was the old story of Diogenes
and the ditch, bnt this time on wheels.
To say that Mr. Dooiing was mad
would but feebly express his emotions,
hut ho did not rage as tbe blind
heathen. Fortunately Mr. Sherman’s
esteemed Theory rose to mind. Here
was a Republican chattel and of course
within his control. He calmly de
manded of tbe chattel payment for
tbe smashed wheel, but the chattel
was as badly broken financially aa
was the wheel physically, and could
not respond. Still he was a chattel,
and Mr. Dooiing, as proprietor, forth
with ordered him to repair to some con
venient spot and get a new wheel.
The chattel thereon repaired to the
spot, bat returned with the sad intelli
gence that he coaid find nothing with
which to repair the wheel; whereupon
Mr. Dooiing ordered his chattel to
divest himself of coat and vest, at tbe
same time leveling a pistol, which
only Republicans and not Demo
crats may carry, and the
order being complied with, the
chattel was released and Mr. Dooiing
proceeded to the classic city of Jones
boro, instructing the unfortunate negro
to meet him there and repair the dam-
ago done.
So iar tbe Sherman Theory worked
beautifully, even in the heart of an
enemy’s country. Mr. Dooiing was
overjoyed. He bad established Re
publican control over ‘an erring chat
tel. Perhaps in the excess oi his emo
tions he telegraphed to Mr. Sherman
himself.
But unfortunately for Mr. Dooiing
and the theory promulgated by Mr.
Sherman, tbo Chattel aforesaid beat
him to Jonesboro and secured a war
rant. Wo ret ret to chronicle tho oc
currence, but a jury set upon Mr. Dool-
tng, and he now goes to the penitenti
ary for two years, simply because the
code of Georgia calls his demonstra
tion highway robbery. Mr. Sherman’s
Theory is now no longer Marching
through Georgia.

-When tbe armistice agreed npon by Gen.
Jnhneton, of tbe Confederate army, add
M ej .r General Sherman, commanding the
Federal army, au communicated to Mr.
Davia, and all h"pe of further resistance
ou Ibis aids of the Mississippi tiros van
ished, he determined to escape to Texas.
What were hia intentions after arrlrlng
there are not known to any one save bia
confidential admirers.
A strong cavalry eacorty consisting oi
Ferguson's, Vaughn's, Dutea's and Breck
inridge's brlgadt-e, were selected to accom
pany and protect Mr. Davia and his family
si d immediate personal friends in their
flight. The men and officers of all these
brigade! were coDeldered of the trneat
Southern chivalry, and it wee known that
toey bad faced death a thousand times
during the eangninary conflict which had
juat terminated.
The whole party, consisting of Mr. Da
vis, John H. Reagan, ex-Gor. Lubbock of
Texas, A. D. 0., Burton N, Harrison, pri
vate secretary to Mr. Davis, Col. William
Preston Johnston and the brigades above
menifoned, arrived at Abbeville, S. C., on
tbe 27th oi April, without any particular
incident having ocenrred along the route.

When Mr. Davis arrived at Abbeville,
which waa on tba 27th of April, be dis
covered that there wrs universal dlsaff.c-
tion amoi g hia escort, and that they were
determineu to m-ke no resistance in the
event they were attacked—no matter how
aniall or great tha attacking party force
might be.
But little or no effort was made to in
duce them to follow the instance ot their
nhostn and once revered lsader farther.
They all cho-eto remain behind except
aix coble K-ntnckiana • f Dukes’s brigade,
wno manlully remained by him.

MB. DAVlt AKD FAMILY.
Mr. Davia had, several days before leav

tle children. Tbev were accompanied by
bia wife'* slater, Miss Howell, of New Or

and perhaps one or two other individuals.

yestercUy the reporter took a poutton two
miles from town, and there awaited tbe ar

The advance gaard came in light, and
qulckiv the wboie party came np. First
alter tbe advance came a fine carriage con
taining Mias H"We!l. Llent. Hathaway and
two others. Next an amnnlance drawn bv
four splendid mules, containing Mr. Davia,
bis lady and little daughter. The? sweet
little girl occupied a seat In front -and
looked ontupon the vast throng of sol-
diera and cl-ixma, who crowded tbensd
cn each elde. with a pteasiDg rutile. Per
haps the earth angel thought it waa one ot
those p- geanta she bad often area assem
ble to da rever.nca to her beluved father.
OH THE STRUTS.
At every etep tbe crowd Increased.
Wnen the carriages crossed the Macon
and WfBiern ral road, so vast had it be
come that it was necessary for men to
clear the way with drawn swords and
pointed rifles. From all parts of tbe city
men, wo.' en and children, soldiers and
negroea flocked to the sidewalk! and
b'oeaed up the way. Passing the Brown
Hotel the throng moved directly toward
Mulberry street and Irom thence to the
i enter House. In front of that bouse tbe
crowd had grown ao dense that It WHS with
difficulty that the way could be cleared.
At last the carriages and ambulance*
were stopped and tbe party alighted. They
were received by General Wilson’s officer
of tbe day and taken to rooms prepared
for them by Messrs. Logan & Meara, tne
proprietors.
General Wllaon’a steward says that he ia
a personal friend of Mr. Davia. the latter
having partaken of mroyagood meal at
hia restaurant in Wmshtngum in the olden
time, and, therefore, he fa determined to
cs'er welt (or him while here.
Not a ahont or token of exultation was
manifested duriog tbe whole time by the
Federal soldiery, while the citizens looked
on with countenance generally expreaalng
regret.
Mr. Davia, his family and the gentlemen
captured with him, were tent forward by
special train to Atlanta last evening. Ha
is in feeble health.
MILKING COWS TO DEATH.
What Overtaxlns the System Did Tor a
Valuable Cow.
In referring to the way costly cows are
killed by milking contests, tbe Baltimore
American says: Tha newspaper reports
on the death of the valuable cow Princess
II, belonging to Mrs. Shoemaker, stated to
be from long trouble, brought several gen
tleraen breeders and others interested in
tbe valuable live stock ot the State to con
sult Dr. Ward, the 8tate veterinarian, „
to tbe nature of the disease, as It waa re
ported to bo pleuro-pneomoHla, and that
several otber cowa in the herd were cough

Ward paid au official visit to the park to
ascertain the true state of affairs. He
found the entire herd, with the exception
of the two bulla and one cow, out at pas
ture, and in appparent good health, Tba
bulla looked apltncid. The cow in one of
stable* waa suffering from garget and en

By tha Election of Judge Clark to the
Judgeship or the atone Moun
tain Circuit.
Atlanta, Ga., September 13.—Gov
ernor McDaniel ia said to be very
sore over the election of the Hon. Richard
H. Clark to tbe judgeship ol the Biona
Mountain Circuit. I do uot doubt that he
la.
The circumstances attending that elec
tion make It a very remarkable
•nd significant occurrence. That
those ot your reader* to whom they
are unknown may have a pro.er coranre-
henslon of them aud understand wby the
Governor is ao aore and chagrined over
Judge Clark’s election. I will go back a
(ew years in tbe recital of facta that bear
upon and havs led up to the situation as
it ia to day.
The people of Georgia, and especially of
South and Southwest Georgia, know Rich
ard H Clark. They kn-w him when ho
waa "Dick” Clark, the brighi young law
yer, the charming c -mpinion and chief
attraction of tha social circle; they knew
him as the yontbfnl legislator of rare
promise and wisdom, the able and asiilfn!
debater and tactician; they knew him aa
the nprigbt judge, and have known him
always tits true, loyal man—bearing ever
witboot reproach the grand old name of
gentl-man.
When the Legislature passed an act re
quiring a codo to be made for the people
of Georgia, Plchard H. Clark waa ono of
ilie threo lawyers eleoted to make that
cede. It is the code nnuer which tbe peo
ple of the Hate are now living and by
wbicb their rlthta are scented and their
wrongs redressed. When James M Smith,
that big-brained man.profound lawyer and
tried and tine patriot and Democrat, was
elected Governor of Georgia,and the ofl3c.it
of tbe State began to be filled again with
her own trne sons, he appointed Richard
H. Clark judge of tbe iliy Court of At
lanta. When Alfred H. Culqni t be
came Governor he reappointed Judge
Clark to the beach of the City Court, it
is needless to add that Judge Clark dis
charged the dn< a of the office with an
ability, a purit- tad a dignity bsaeamlUH
the place and si- -rdlng with bia own high
character and aii-aaiuents.
But. as in Athens of old, there arose a
party that desired the overthrow aod ban
ishment of Aristides because they were
tired of hearing him called “the just,” so
there was in Atlanta, in latter time, a
junto, a set, a gang, a ring, that desired

Tha East Tennessee, Virginia ana Ctor-
Bln Railroad.
Some days ago, acting upon what was
then deemed reliable information, and
direct sympathy with the business
sentiment of Macon, we animadverted
sharply upon the proposed removal of
employe* of the road from this point to
Atlanta. Snbaeqnent investigation has —uieT‘
satisfied os that an injustice was done
to tbe intentions and acts of tiie mana
gers of the road.
The change then made waa in fur
therance of a desire to improve the
service and only involved the change
of three conductors, three train hands,
three porters and three baggagemaa-
tera—twelve in ail—and this change
ia not likely to be permanent.
We feel assured that the present
management of the road ii in entire
sympathy with onr business interests,
and ia fully alive to the growing trade
and necessities of Macon, and that we
■hall not have cause to complain at
any intentional wrong or negligence.
Our merchants and business men are
aware of the facilities opened by this
line, and we have reason to expect
mutual cordiality and confidence in the
future.
In the improvement of the road and
its management, under a new organiza
tion, Macon may look for a return for
her part in aecuringita completion, and
saving it from despoilment.

tbe onsting and overthrow ol Judge Clark.
His views were not their views; bis meth
ods were not tbeir methods; his nature,
bis ideas and walk and way of life
were eo altogether foreigo to and far
apart from theirs that they determined
npon his overthrow. It did not tu t them
to have such a man Id high office and au
thority in tbeir midst—a man with snen
old-fashioned ides* of right and propriety
and honor, who would not court
and do flattering homage to them; a ma-t
who wiutd not “crook ihepregnant hinges
ol the knee where thrift might follow fawn
ing."
So, when Mr. Stephens became Governor
he waa approached npon tbe subject ot tbo
City Coart jndgesbip. A feeler was putont
in tbe iutcreet of a political deal that look
ed to the removal or J ndge Clark Aa soon
as he saw the object ot the tricksters (and
he aaw it very quickly),the Old Commoner
promptly gave them to understand, in few
and plain words, that the man conld not
he named whom he would put in Judge
Clark’s place. That ended toe matter as
ftr as be was concerned, for all knew that
he was and would be the real as
well as tbe nomlnel Governor of Georgia
while ho held the office, and that no ring
conld control him,
Mr. Stephens died and a convention met
to nomlnat- bia auccraaor. The leading
candidates before that convention were A.
O. Bacon and Jamra S. Boynton. There
were two other candidates—H. D. McDan
iel and General Philip Cook, but both
of them together did not have near aa
many votes as either of tbe ether two.
The choice ot tbe State was divided be
tween Bacon and Boynton, bat alter many
balloting neither of them bad the number
of votes necessary to nominate. Then
came a very Strang! and nnntntl proceed
ing. Tha convention abdicated its office
and without authority, right or precedent,
delegated to eighteen men the performance
of the work which the people had in
structed and expected it to do in
customary aud proper man
ner. It created a “comniitee
of conference," composed of six Bacon
men, six Boynton men, fonr McDaniel
men and two Cook men, and atked that
committee to nominate a Governor. Tbe
commute- met and went to balioliDg and
was about to nominate Bacon, when the
Boynton men auddeniv abandoned Boyn
ton and joined tbe McDaniel men, which
earned tne defeat of Bacon and theselec
tion of McDaulel. Bo, upon tbe rccom
mendatloi of ten men, (tbe six Boynton
and tbe four McDaniel men), secured in
tne manner recited, tbe convention put
Henry D. McDaniel npon the people of
Georgia,ader the people, by an overwhelm
ing majority, bad declared their preference
fur either one of two other men. The peo
ple bad laid in the election of delegates to
tbe convention that their choice was be
tween Bacon and Boynton. Tbe. conven
tion gave them neither Bacon nor Boyn
ton, but another man Instead, (i
whqm but ft very mml! number
la mar* local following—had ax
6 rested a preference. And this was bow
lenryD. McDaniel came to be Governor
of Georgia. It was a totult effected b
trickery and trading and a total and Inn
coaabla disregard ot the expressed wishes
ol th« people.
Notwithstanding tbe manner of his
nomlnattou end Ibe fact that It was de
sired by so very small a fraction of the
people, It wee hoped and believed by many
shat it wonld all tarn ont for tbe best, and
that ha wonld discharge evarv duty de
