CAFCCS AT THE
MiBKEBill HOUSE.
A Now Flallbrsn Formulated.
The Georgia Independents, held
another caucus at the Maikham House
in Atlanta on Tuesday, for the evident
purpose of formulating a new plat
form. Tho following is the result as
we find.lt in..the Post-Appeal:
To the People of Georgia:
' Throughly imbued o-ith the' convic
tion that neither the Republican party
nor the Democratic party ns at
present organized under its objec
tionable methods and policies, can
subserve the vital interests of
tho people; convinced that under
the old formations of political
parties sectionalism min never be
driven fiom our Federal policies; con
vinced that under uu watched Demo
cratic ring rule corruption cannot bo
checked in onr State affairs, we an
nounce tho following principles as the
comer stones of our political . faith,
and to their full vindication we ask
thesuppoit of all citizens of Georgia
who endorse them and who wish a
national and liberal, and not e section
al government; who wish a govern
ment by the people, for the whole
people, and not the government of
partisains for the benefit of favorites;
who wish a vigilant watchfulness over
the people’s affairs; and not the com
plete and unchecked control of their af
fairs by one parly, of methods, far re
moved from the many and manipuls
ted only by the lew.
1. The. political “caucus” is only ad
visory in its character—should have
no binding force upon the actions and
consciences of free citizens of a free
government; bnt every ballot cast
at an election should represent the
convictions of the individual voter.
2. We insist that it is essential to
free government to have a free ballot
and a fair count of all votes honestly
cast at any Slate or National election;
and the machinery of managing and
supervising-elections should be guard
ed and protected by law so that fraud
will be impossible.
3. Honorable payment of all honest
debts—especially the payment of the
^National and Stato debts—as rapidly
'as our surplus revenues will author

and :ach morning she would come,

I wa confined, her little dimpled
hand was always filled with fresh
flowff-s for me. Her presence was

my eves in those days.”
Tien he recounted his experiences
from the time of his release through
the cays of reconstruction on up to
the [resent hour, and as he conclud
ed, siid: ‘.‘You see my life has been

' 5. As soon as the reduction of the
National debt will peiniit,wa favor
the repeal of the Internal Reve
nue laws, and believe that all the rev-
ennes of the* Federal Government
should be raised by a tariff upon -for
eign articles imported into this coun
try, and which tariff shall so discriml
nate in its provisions as to aflord
ample encouragement and incidental
protection lo all home industries.
6. We advocate a liberal system of
internal improvements br the Federal
Government for woiks o'f a National
character only—especially our waler-
roiites of transportation.
7. The National Government is tfce
supreme authority known to the peo
ple of this country, and its laws have
the first claim to our obedience.
Every citizen ot the United States.is
entitled lo a full protection of his per
sonal and political rights under those
Federal laws.
8. AA’e believe every child should
have tho opportunity of acquiring a
common English education in schools
forever made free by a liberal support
from the State Government
9. Monopolies, by which .a privi

the genius aud spirit of our Govern
ment; and wq will steadily resist
efery measure or sweat that tends to
concentrato political power of undue
basinets opportunities in the hands
of the few at tbs expense of the many.
10. The present system of leasing
the State convicts must be wiped from
our statutes as a foul blot upon our
civilization and humanity,
.11. Party proscription and sectional
prejudices have greatly retarded the
material growth and development of
our State—which material prosperity
we earnestly dcsiic and will diligently
foster; and to this end we will use
every moral and legal means to sup
press proscription and to liberalize
sectional prejudices—recognizing the
unity of our common Federal Govern
ment and equality of all men before
the laws.
We arc imbued with the doctrine
that this is a government by the peo
ple, and of the people, and for the
people; that political parlies are but
agencies for a part of the people, and
that, In any necessary comparison, the
people’s interests should be primary,
aiid party interests secondary.
AA’e believe.that it is no longer pa
triotic to be partisan, but that, as the
two parties now powerful in the coun
try are at issue on no governmental
principles, it is wise for the people,
who aspire to fraternal relations coex
istent with the country, to bury sec
tioi-al strife and to elevate politics to

Most of this money he sends to his
publisher, - Gibson, who is getting
out another cdUion of his book,
“Truth,” at tho author’s expense.
He lias also given some money to.
his sister for things she sent him.
Last week he sent $100 to Scoville,
his lawyer; $50 to his brother in
Boston, and $200 to his publisher,
tie handles greenbacks like a bank
teller, and talkB about different
points and features of his photos
precisely as if he were behind a
counter selling ribbons or lace. Re
ferring to Guiteau’s sanity, the
writer says the only exception to
the man’s perfectly rational and
commOD-place talk, during the visit;
was when the name -of Gorham, edi
tor of the National Republican was
mentioned; Guiteau immediately
changed his manner, and broke out
in a furious attack. AVith clenched
fist, arm raised and gesticulating,
he cried ont as load as his voice al
lowed, that these stalwart papers
were all abusing Garfield nntil
God’s man came to remove him, and
now they abuse God’s man. This
outburst was short, however,'and
after it he was again all calmness
and business. Evidently he thinks
he will not hang. He seems hope
ful that in some way he will, to use
liis own language, “get relief.” He
is Glowed to read all the New York
sml Washington newspapers, aud
knows the change in public senti
ment about Garfield. He seemed
to be delighted at the publication of
the Rosccrans letters. He is, he says,
well satisfied with his life, what
ever the end may be. He lives
comfortably, has two cells, one to
sleep in and the other as a sort of an
office,in the most elegant jail I ever
saw. He feels his importance aud
notoriety, enjoys ease, and.for the
first time in his life a regular ample
' TV ’’?.wretch feels that even
if he be hanged, lie Has
a figure ;in. the world: The
ordinal y kind and generous treat
ment of the Government makes his
last days the happiest and most com
fortable of his whole life. Certainly
no one can see his surroundings and
observe his life withont being touch
ed by the remarkable charilv and
consideration with which this' mis
erable assassin is allowed to trans
form the jail into a place of luxury,
comfortable, money-making and no
loriety seeking.

Munkacsy’s great picture, “Christ

by the Austrian Government, and
therefore probably will not be ex

A deed lately recorded in Pitts

The question of licensing the sale
of intoxicating liquors gave a special
interest to the town-meetings in Mas-
sachhsctts last Monday. Of eighty-
six towns from which reports have
been roceived, twenty-three voted
for license and sixty-three against it.
; Governor Cameron, of Virginia,
thinks that the Gubernatorial chair
is not a very great elevation for a
man who has been editor of an influ
ential newspaper, and in the capitol
lie retains the simple and affable
manners which he formerly culti
vated In the journalistic sanctum.
A Canadian paper takes enough
interest in Guitean to suggest an
epitaph for bis tomb, which is this:
“Gone to meet Junius Brains (!)
Booth.” Lest some of its readers
may not know who Booth was, the
editor explains that he was the man
whci shot Abraham Lincoln, a Presi

Chicago Inter-Ocean (Stalwart):
There was s man in the gallery of

ever known to applaud Dawes, he

Barnum and HI* Circa*.
Gath,
I thought it looked like a second
childhood last night, when I took
my children-to Barnnm’s circus on
i lie opening nignt, to see there
Grant, and Conkling and Sickles,
all sitting together and looking at
tiie horses, while every one of them
was an inferior personage in the
eyes of those ten to fifteen thous
and people, to old Barnnm himself
who stepped into the ring, after a
grand bare-backed act, witli his
head of curly hair growing, floury
with time, and he thanked the aud
ience for the patronage he had re-
ccived from them for forty years.
What politician has lasted like old
Barnnm ? And he is not more of a
hu inbug than most of them. It
-ecined to me, however,.that while
i ha old man had enjoyed so much
favor, he had not much improved
the circus. I missed the ginger
bread, the pop-corn and the lemon
ade of a former day, and also, I fear,
some of the stomach which made
them so good. The female perform
ers have improved in almost every ,
department, while the male eques- an “
trians hare altogether fallen off.- In
stead of tho athletic riders, like Mel
ville and Robinson, who used to
make the circns an almost gladia
torial arena, we now have pretty
girls in tights, jumping from the
roof into netting, or lifting up tables
with their teeth.
Isabella de Bonrbon, ex-Qneen of
