<"l a ~2 altTll * tT ' AU the political eyra of the country
are tamed toward President-elect Gar
field, aa the time for kb inauguration
drawl near,'and (peculation is wild
and heated aa to what he will do and
how he will do it The aphaix-like
attitude of Ur. Garfield indicates a
stubborn exercise of the functions of his
position, and' makes all conjectures
Tain.
We do not suppose that aay South
ern Democrat entertains the least hope
of being caJlod to the position of a
cabinet offiocr. In -the, first place,
no one of that class has % right to'ex.
pect such patronage from the hands of
a Republican President,-and, while it is
the doty of every citizen to go where
his country calls him, wc hope for the
respectability of onr section and the
Democratic party, that none will seek
it If we were permitted a conjecture,
we should aay that West Virginia’s
production of Ur. Goff for the Navy
Department, is intended by Ur. Hayes
and his successor, Ur. Garfield, as the
South's portion. It is true that the act
trill not be recognized as any mark of
respect towards the South, down here.
Ur. Goff was a anion soldier, and has
always been a rebel-hating Republican,
and his appointment does not smack of
an olive branch. His State was hardly
among the respectable, until Into years.
Some one once applied to West Vir
ginia the appelafion of “a bastard child,
bora of a ceasarian operation,” and tho
blood still runs through her veins.
AW to the subordinate places Ur.
Garfield will probably exercise n stal
wart policy, appointing only active Re
publicans. Wo believe him to be
wise for selfish ends, and no ono doubts
that the better policy of the Republi
can party will be to take care of and
to protect its own strength and re
sources, rather than cater for doubtful
strength from another party, not to
the manner born. He will, therefore,
hardly court Democrats with these
glittering gifts. No; what we expect
from Ur. Garfield is m strictly stalwart
Radical administration, and if the bal
ance of tho unhappy domain can stand
the racket, we see no reason why the
Sooth can not for the next four yean.

spicuous in Presidential campaigns ?
It is stated that Hayes is going

Go versos Cornell, in bis recent
message to the New Yoik Legislature,

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has
been interviewed by a Washington cor
respondent. Aa to Ur. Garfield bo
says the Almighty Dollar is behind the
throne, and will control the administra
tion. He hopes that the negro will
diffuse himself all over the United
, States, and does not think tho Sonth
would suffer if every negro in it were
to leave.
Last year the Post Office Depart
ment’s expenditures exceeded the re-
teipts by $3,600,000. ' This shortage
should be made-up either by a reduc
tion of expenses, or an increase of pos
tage rates. The business should sup
port itself; and people who send and
receive letters ought not to do so n ‘is
expense of others.
These are forty tboonnd negroes in
Washington, says the Courier-Jour
nal, of whom not more than five thous
and are steadily' at work daring the
year. The remaining thirty-five thooa-
and, according to n Republican ex*
•hangs liTO by begging, sponging,
stealing and by public charity. They
used to gat a living by their suffrage in
the District. Hear of them crowd the
as a Reformer.
The timidity of .ionrnalism in the
Sonth, in the discussion of public men,
is caused by n failure of the public
to appreciate the value of the press as a
reformer, and n poverty-stricken depen
dence upon unanimous support from
the few readmg people who inhabit
onr land. Aggressive journalism,
which attacks party evils and public
measures, receives the smiles of tho
public, so far ns they are in think
ing accord with tho press, but censure
of private men in public offico is
generally met with the frown of disap
proval on the part of a charitable (?)
public. Tho private acta of high offi
cials, even outside of their official du
ties, are amenable to the censure of tho
press. Men who are placed in posi
tion to enact laws, or to execute laws,
should themselves oboy theso laws.
Have the pcoplo of Georgia over en
trusted with high positions men who
woro violators daily, of Goorgia’s ponal
laws ? Has the Supromo, Suporior or
County Court bonch of Georgia over
been tainted with occupation by men
who paactice at tho gambling table ?
Arc tho State’s prosecuting attorneys
Tree from stains of such folly and evil
doing ? Are any of them accustomed
to visiting brothels of shame, where
law violators hold carnival ? Are the
officers appointed to execute the law
violators themselves? Do they torn
the keys to punish'tbose who are not
so fortunate as themselves in escaping
tho eyes of justice or the clutches of
established forms or technicalities ?
We ask these questions in all earnest-
If theso evils do exist, should
there not be some reformation ? And
shall tho press inform the public and
the courts?
There is a hold, aggressive journal
ism in tho thickly populated West,
which appplies diligently the pruning
knife; calls things by their names;
speaks ont in public, and asks no odds
from those whom it fights. Hero is n
sample application^from that bold and
useful paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer;
How would wayward Goorgia officials
(if any there be,) like occasional doses
like Alderman Kelly has received ?
“There was a lively row in the gam
bling room, No. 266 Vine street, about
eleven o’clock last night. John J.
Kelley, member of the board of Alder,
men, went into the place and commenc
ed playing Hazard. After n few min
utes he commenced making larger beta
than the rules of the game allowed.
Billy Hint, who was on the lookout,”
told Kelly two or three times that he
must takedown. The Alderman replied
that if Hall didn’t shut np ha wonld
make him. Finally Kelly called Hall
a low name and jumped nt him. The
two had a rough-and-tumble for n .few
minutes and were finally separated,
when -Kelly departed from the place.
Hall received aevjral severe blows, bat
Kelly come oat without n scratch. No
arrests. No. 266 is the place that lost
$25,000 at one haul a short time ago,
and New Tear’s Day was "palled” for
n largo amount. Mr. Kelly, it will be
remembered, is the member of the
Board of Aldermen, who, a short time
ago, was appointed Chairman of the
Committee to request Mayor Jacob to
close np the gambling booses.

The Frauds Imposed Upon the Xe*
gro by the Republican Party.
The various frauds imposed upon the
negro by the Republican party are oe-
cariooalty alluded to by tha press, and
yet the colored brother continues to
gulp them down. The Irish World
very truthfully and forcibly present*
the case in this light:
"For political purposes it (tha Be.
publican party) encouraged the negroes
to emigrate from their. Southern homes
and colonise on the public lands. The
negroes an now beating about in the
bushes trying to find out if there are
ray puboklands. Whenever they at
tempt to -occupy such Juds ..they are
repulsed and driven back by some cor
poration which claims a -prior right by
virtue of a land gnat from Congress.
"The negroes are indignant, and
threaten vengence on the party which
claims to be their protector and ap
pointed vote-gatherer. It wee a sorry
joke when the Republicans put into
their last National platform a resolu
tion that no mare land grants should
be voted to corporations. It was not
necessary, for Congress had already
ceded to corporations all the available
public lands. While the negro is sit
ting on the fence looking in vain for
public lands, be bad better organize an
African Land League and start Fred
Douglass on n new campaign of eman
cipation. The negro, like every other
oppressed race, will yet find out that
there is no liberty without the safftutd
that emancipation for poor men, with
out access to the prime sources o!
life, is a snare and n delation. Welcome
the colored brother in the Land
Leagues. He is a marked example of
a defrauded workingman who thinks
he is liberated from slavery, hot has
hardly begun to stir his main ahacklea."
.Hie Next Governorship in Georgia
| U. W. G. In Atlanta Cnouitnlios.
Thera is a smart bit of speculation
through the Georgia colony in Wash
ington, as to the next race for Governor
down your way. It teems to be ac
cepted that some comparatively new
and young man will bear oil the prize,
aa Toombs, Stephen*,HiU, Gordon, Col
quitt, Brown, Warner and men of that
class an off the track. This state of
things will develop an unusual number
of candidates. You may count on at
least two from the Congressional dele
gation—-Measn. Blount and Hammond.
The firs^will certainly be pressed by
his friends, and I think the latter will
be. A movement will be organized
shortly in the interest of Colonel J. C.
C. Black, of Richmond, and Judge Jas.
R. Brown will be pot forward ns the
candidate of North Georgia. I do nor
know whether or not Col. Lester, of
Savannah, will be n candidate again, but
his section of the State will certainly
have a man in the field. The Hon.
Patrick Walsh could bring a district or
so up to the convention if he took n
mind to go in, and there ore perhaps a
half dozen of other promising caadi-
for Debt.
One of the theories of this, onr Re-
Republican Government, says the
Washington Star, is that there can be
no imprisonment for debt, and though
our legislation is intended to conform
to this idea of liberty, there is prob
ably not a State in the Union in which
there are not persons confined in
prison because of their non-pay
ment of liabilities incurred in om
shape or another. Is the Ludlow
street jail, of New York city, there is
one debtor who has been confined five
yev*, another three and a half years,
and another for fifteen months, upon
the complaint of their creditors. In
the face of the spirit of the laws.
It seems to be comparatively
easy for a creditor to send his de
linquent debtor to prison, in cases
where the latter cannot* furnish
bail. AI1 the former has to do in most
of the States is to make oath that the
party contracting the debt was guilty
of some sort of misrepresentation as to
bis ability to pay. Bnt it can be said
with truth and justice that, while the
laws may, and do in many eases, bear
down bud upon the debtor, it will not
do, by any means, to deprive the cred
itor class of their dne proportion of le
gal protection. Yet the fact that one
man in this free country has been five
years in jail for debt, in the leading
city of the Union, is n little startii »g
Two Paragraphs.
Among the roanyitems on the subject
of providing for Grant, wo notice two
thataroquite in contrast with each other.
A lady who signs horsolf “Mrs. S. Amo-
lia Gilooly,” writing to the Philadelphia
Times from New Jersey, ssys:
“Sir—I notico thera is a continual
agitation about providing Gen. Grant an
office, pr giving him lomething to do, or
making him a present of money. Mean
while he may be suffering. For this
reason I would like to say that wo have
a back hall bed room on the second
floor that has not been! used since
brother James was killed in front of
Petersburg. Since father lost his leg
at Gettysburg he don’t feci like walk
ing np stain, and I do dressmaking and
plain sewing in the front room because
it is lighter. So it is vacant, and if an
unfeeling country cannot and will not
do enough for a man who has so nobly
fought for it, General Grant can have
that room, rent free until this nation
arouses itself to action and does some
thing for him.”
Then we find this fromjtho. Jenkins
of the Washington Star:
“At the dinner given on Wednesday
evening at tho White nous* to Gennrnl
and Mrs. Grant; the latter lady wore
numerous and valuable diamonds, with
a dram of elegant wine-colored velvet
trimmed with point lace. On her arm*
were several bracelets, including one
gold band four inches broad, without
any stone in h.' In her hair sparkled a
rosette and n butterfly of diamonds, and
in her ears long earrings set with valua
ble diamonds.’’ ’
These jewels, remarks the 8avannah
Hews with fitting unction, hardly be
come thejwife of n man who 1a parad
ed. before the; country by Republican
journals as an object of public chan-,
ty-
As to sinful Congressmen, a Wash
ington person says: "There are some
very heavy drinkers in both houses—
men who are as straight as a dart at
home. Sometimes they neglect their
constituents and the public business,
and sometimes they are seen with pret
ty bad characters. I have known Con
gressmen who were unable to leave
their beds for weeks because of deliri
um tremens. I have known others so
drank in the Capitol that they could
not stand or even ait in n chair. I have
known it™ to take lewd women to
the Capitol, and have known that mem
bers’ mistresses sent cards to them
during the sittings of Congress- After
some members and Senators drink until
their stomachs are all gone and they
are unable to eat or drink anything, and
have to fie by fora week or two, they
account for their condition with the
general explanation—‘malaria.’ ”
A Washington special to the New
York Post says: "The Democrats are
seriously alarmed lest they shall fail
of a working majority by reason of the
persistent neglect of doty by some of
their Representatives. Their leaders
are determined to pass the Morgan
electoral count joint resolution, and to
do this they-must have tbs vote of al
most every member of their party.
The screws are to be applied, and neg
ligent members arc to be sharply dealt
with. The Republicans aay flatly that
they will not let the resolution pass,
and it is altogether likely that the pres
ent loll and ’em of good feeling* win
be succeeded by a bitter
The race wiU be at
"free for all," and “the field” will be
the favorite in the pools, ft is not
probable that there will be any "conso
lation” nee for beaten horses, as it
looks now aa if Ben Hill would cany
off the Senatorahip—the only prise
foUows the Gubernatorial ’race without
(struggle.
“Where Are Toe, Dan P*
The New York Sun made the state
ment last week that Daniel O’Reilly,
the Brooklyn member, had not been
in his seat this session. On Monday
he made a personal explanation, saying
he bad not been absent a single day.
O’Reilly said he wouldn’t have noticed
the matter bnt for the (act that his
wife cut the statement from the news
paper and wrote: “Where are yon,
Dan?”
Urwaxos of nine thousand bills have
been introduced in the Senate and
House of the present'Congress, bnt
fortunately for the country, very few
of them will ever get beyond reference
to a committee, ft is probable; re
marks the Washington Star, that two-
thirds ot these bills were introduced
without any purpose, by the ; members
submitting them, of ever seeking to
have them passed; that they are im
practicable, and very many of them,
perhaps, absurd measures, that were
introduced to pacify constituents and
to make the M. C. “solid" in his dis
trict There is a rood deal of baucombe
in public life, after aU.
I? is reported that Colonel Fair, of
Nevada, expended.$X50,000 in the elec
tion of members of the Legislature
pledged to support him for United
States Senator. In addition to this ex
penditure, it is hinted that he will he
compelled to continue helping his pur
chased legislators, financially, until the
Senatorial election, in order to make
sure of them. If Colonel Fair has real
ly got off so‘far with the outlay of only
$150,000, then he will get the^cheapcst
United States Senatorahip yet sold in
that State, or tho expenditures of his
predecessors have been greatly exag
gerated.
And now word comes from Wash
ington that Marshal Fitzsimmons “cer
tainly will be removed,” and that Mr.
H. I. Kimball, of Atlanta, will be ap
pointed aa his successor. Last week it
was laid that Senator HiU and Messrs.
Speer and Stephens had convinced Mr.
Hayes that Fitzsimmons had been mis
represented by special agent New-
contbe, and that ha wonld not he re
moved. We hardly know how to re
concile such n state of facts with this
last report, without bringing Senator
.Brown into it The Senator is a very
warm friend of Mr. Kim halt
The New York Tribune has a most
temperate article commending the wise
counsel of Jefferson Davis when be
raid recently that “the sooner Demo
crats announce their fixedness of pur
pose to stand by the right, expecting
only defeat the sooner will they be re
spected, and the better will he then-
chances for ultimate success. The
Tribune haa created a genuine sensa
tion by allowing that anything said by
Mr. Davis was wise.”
Atlanta took on n big sensation the
other day. ft was one of her soap-
bubbles, and banted with the first
gush of wind, and this was the way it
told: Hayes nominated Joe Brown
as Secretary of the Navy, and Colquitt
had appointed Gordon as Brown’s suc
cessor in the Senate. But, low and be
hold, Goff of West Virginia, is made
Secretary of the Navy, and so the sen
sation is a boat.
It is stated upon authority that
Garfield has agreed to re-appoint lb.
Goff of West Virginia, Secretary of the
Navy. Goff will probably Ho consid
ered the Soathern Representative in
the Cabinet, and the other Soathern
States need expect nothing. This is a
far-fetched compliment to tile South.
Goff was an officer in the Federal army,
and has never been ont of the Union.
When will Dr. Felton deliver that
speech, in which he is to “cuss blue’'
Georgia Democrats ? We are aH at

When a preacher-politician
mounts a war-hone he is said to be
worse than a wild Indian, and Felton
is swelling and foaming immoderately.
Govxxxos Joseph E. Brown is cred
ited by a Washington correspondent
with having said in an interview as to
going into Garfield’s Cabinet: “If offer
ed, I should not take a place i i Gar
field’s Cabinet I consider n Senator-
ship next to the Presidency.”
“H. W. Q:” Dear Sir—Sendon that
sensation. Georgia has beeu shaken
from the mountains to the seaboard by
the Shadow” yon endlessly “cast be

wont Way all this cruel suspense!
We are thirsting for Out Georgia
so it is not political.
GEORGIA'S ELECTORAL VOTE.
Xr. Stephens Thinks it Should Xot be
Counted, and Why,
The Atlanta Constitution’s Wash
ington Special of Monday says: “Alex
ander H. Stephens has expressed the
opinion that the electoral vote of his
State should not be counted. He
very emphatic in Ins characterisation
of the folly of the gentlemen who passed
the law which makes the day for On
assembling of the Georgia Legislature
the Wednesday following the first Mon
day in December, instead of the first
Wednesday.
‘These wiseacres,’ said Mr. Stephens,
■undoubtedly thought that the first
Wednesday must always follow tho lint
Monday.’
Other Democrats in Congress are of
the same opinion aa Mr. Stephens,
among whom is Mr. Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, who says that while these votes
plainly should not be counted there is
no way, in the absence of some definite
rale of procedure on the subject, to
subject them. The only analogous
case on record is that of Wisconsin in
1868. In counting this vote, objection
was mado by Mr. Toombs, of Georgia,
and Mr. Franklin, of Virginia, bnt the
presiding officer of the occasion, Mr.
Mason, of Virginia, decided that the
function of the joint convention of the
two bouses was to witness the count
ing of votes and of the presiding officer
to count them, and thereupon he ad
journed tiie meeting In this view of
the case, the vote of Georgia most ho
counted, amply because the two house*
cannot do otherwise in the absence of
the twenty-second joint rule.”

lover's Strange and Cruel
Hoax.
Charleston, S. C„ January 10.—
Several days ago a sad story was pub
lished in the papers here and else
where about the death of n young man
near the railroad. The story went that
an interesting; pale-faced young man
had been fonnd near the railroad frozen
to death, a note being pinned to his
coat saying, “My name ft W. G. Tim
mons; bury me where I am fonnd.’’ In
accordance with this dying re
quest, the poor boy was buried by
the roadside. These facta were com-
mnnicated to the Charleston yews and
Courier in a letter signed S. G.
Elliott. The published letter said
that Mr. Elliott had fonnd the body and
boned it. ft now tarns oat that
W. G. Timmons, the young man whose
death is told of, is really alive, and that
he wrote the letter himself to the
JVeacs and Courier, and signed 8. G.
Elliott’s name to it. This true inward
ness of the affair reveals a strange love
story, ft seems that Timmons was
deeply in love with n lovely girl in
Effingham, bnt the would not listen
favorably to his suit. In order to cause
her remorse for her treatment and to
test whether she realty cared for him,
he wrote the tragic story of his freez
ing to death and dwelt feelingly
upon the careworn face of the
yonng man who wished to be buried
where he was found, to all of
which be signed the name of 8. G.
Elliott, a prominent fanner. His ruse
had the desired effect; the hard-hearted
sweet-heart wrote a wild letter to 8. G.
Elliott^tbanking him for so tenderly at
tending to the dead youth’s last wishes,
and she besought him to see that the
grave was kept green and carefully
decked with flowers. The brother of
the young man upon reading the story
came at once to the scene with a coffin,
while the heart-broken mother wrote
for particulars of her son’s sad end.
Bruce.
A Washington Correspondent.
Rumor for sotno time has assigned
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, to a
place in General Garfield’s cabinet No
particular plane in tho cabinet has been
designed for him to fill by those who
mention his name for the honor, ft is
known that General Garfield has con
sidered the propriety of giving Mr.
Brace an advisory position in tho next
administration, just as he has consider
