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. *8 82 SV 46 58 80 10* 187 bo paid for in- lB6dfi.mmllj, 18 per mat 55?

JAN. IS. 1881. Eighteen United States Senators will be elected this month. Hox. Wm. E. Smith will accept our thanks for regular copies of the Con gressional Record. Secretary or thh Navt Gorv is strictly a landsman, and ns the Cour ier-Journal says, "doesn’t know the fo* castle from the a tern-sheets.” Job Blow* sees nothing big ’twixt the Senatorahip and the Presidency, and those of his opponents who are trying to force him into n Republican Cabinet may as wel) dry-up. Thx States that have increased moet rapidly in population daring the pest ten years are Colorado, 389.82 per cent; Nebraska, 297.83; Kansas. 173.14; Oregon, 92^2; Texas, 91.24. Thebe are 43,000 post-offices in tho United States, and the Department em ploys 60,479 persons. Is it any won der that the postmasters are so con spicuous in Presidential campaigns ? It is stated that Hayes is going abroad after Garfield is seated. If he oxpects to be lionized by tho Eastern world as Grant was, ho will be dis appointed. Our brethren over tho wa ter can’t stand too much boring. Job Harms’ “Uncle Remus,’’ book is having an immense-run nt the North, having roachod its 6th odition. If ho would send copies around to his breth ren of the Goorgia press tboy could better plaoo its merits before the pub- Uo. The Romo Daily Tribune Bays the tho “Great German Nation” fought France and conquered; it is now mean ly fighting tho Jews, and it will lose. It will never conquer in such an unholy war, which is a disgraeo to tho land of universities. Representative colored men take very kindly to tho proposition to put n colored man in General Garfield’s Cab inet. They ask for only ono.—Cin cinnati Enauirer. Vo doubt they "take” to it "kindly” enough, bnt tho kindly taking will he about all thoy will ever get The Louisville Courier-Journal thus advises: Let every Kentuckian tarn a new leaf in the matter of taking human life. Upon an equitable divis ion there isn’t more than ono victim for eaeh of ua, and if y>J man shows n disposition to kill more than his quota, shoot him on the spot The American Eagle doesn’t wear the name kind of feathers nor appear in the ■ame form in every section of the conn- try. A Kentucky journalist says that in Ohio the hog is considered the Na tional bird.—Atlanta Phonograph. Down this way n good stoat cottoo- deld nigger stand ns our National bird, and bars a good one, too. Go versos Cornell, in bis recent message to the New Yoik Legislature, •hows that since ho came into offioe, State taxation has increased nearly ♦2,000,000. Under Gov. Tilden and Gov. Robinson the taxation was reduc ed from 113,000,000 to lass than $8,- 000,000. The Republicans will un doubtedly bring itnpto the old fig* 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. Rxi>nsu> figures out that W. H. Vanderbilt individually owns more reg istered United States oonds than are owned in the nineteen Western States and Territories. These States and'Terri- torics have a population of over 2J,- 000,000, yet there is held among them but $49,060,000 of registered bonds, or less than Mr. Vanderbilt owns. In the l'mrteen Southern States $12,000,- 000 nt owned, or about one-fourth the ac-ouet held by n single citizen in New York. Tux beaks of the centennial exhibit lion have just been dosed, and it ap pears that $11^00^00 have passed through the Chief Auditor's bands once the board of finance was organ ized. The stockholders had returned to them twenty-three undo half per cent of their original investment, and warm galleries of Congress and sleep 'Unde Sam was repaid the $1,500,000 bliskfally over the eloquence of the loaned to the board, but fur come time Sdons. ] Mistaken by then fora gift. 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 tention, and are almost losing onr pa- 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 fore,” and is now prepared for the 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.” A Yi ~ ~ * 3Xcio Artucutiscments. 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 ed the names of many other persons who are not likely to be chosen, ft is understood that General .Garfield ob served, when discussing Mr. Brace, that he feared his appointment might create n feeling on the part of the South ern people against the next administra tion. Such a feeling General Garfield is extremely anxious to aToid. It is said that Senator Lamar has remarked that he would prefer to see Mr. Brace in the cabinet to any white Republican in Mississippi. Tho members of the Mississippi Congressional delegation are all reported to feel very friendly toward tiie colored Senator. Oar Grand Aggregate. The work of the census office has been carried so far as to show that the population of the United States is over 51X00,000. This is about two millions larger than was estimated some months ago. There are some States and numer ous cities that are not satisfied with their numbers. This will always be the case while envy and ambition con tinue to be human characteristics. But the grand aggregate of- 61,000,000 is satisfactory to alL TVe have grown to these proportions in a tingle century. Almost every country on the globe has contributed to our population, but it will he many yean before these varied elements will be blended n distinct homogeneons American people. Independent Talk in Georgia. “Gath” writes the Cincinnatti En quirer as foUows: The independent politician is coming ont strong in Georgia. Dr. Felton is going to make a speech, taking tiie ground that a Republican Government in the Soathern states is only a farce; and that none of tiie elections are hon ed there. Mr. Haygood, President of rknoty College Oxford, Georgia, says Alexander H.
