Macon, Savannah ar.d Augusta have organized electric light companies. Up the canal and then down to Flor ida are the trips planned for the Press Association. At a meeting of 2,000 citizens of Kansas City, last Saturday night, the action of Gov. Crittenden in ridding the country of Jesse James was endorsed. Gen. Gordon's latest remark: “I am not a candidate at present, but if friends urge me to go *to the Senate again. I don’t say what I may do.’ - The politicians ol the Eighth dis trict are not quite ready to appoint a day of thanksgiving. They arc rot quite sure that the great skillei-toter is out of the way. Mr. Bbuton's appointment as post master at JSainbridge is regarded as another victory for the syndicate, which, according to “F. HI 1?, ’ Inis scooped the administration. The new associate editor of the heretofore bright little Selma JStten inp Mail ought to sue the man who forced him-upon the editorial tripod for damages. He might, however, ab sorb some of the requisites of an editor at a well regulated night school. They have what Guitean would cal! a “high toned” Judge down in New Orleans. The other day he sentenced a juror to 24 hours in the parish pris on’for contempt cf court in appearing without a necktie. New Orleans jurors will probably hereafter be models in the way of fashionable attire. -The Knights of Wise Men/’ a col ored organization partaking of the na ture of an insurance company, will as semble in Atlanta on the 23rd of June, at which time ex-Senator B. K. Bruce, the most distinguished representative ot hia race, will he pvesent. It is un derstood that an effort will be made to gather together a mass meeting of the colored people throughout the State to be present at that time, to take action in political matters, Politics are rather dull in Georgia just now, hut plowing is brisk. The mule and tho negro and the furrow they are cutting are of vast deal more, ot importance to the average farmer than the coalition or the syndicate; and how the guano strewn therein is going to pan out is of greater interest than Blaine or Shipherd's connection with the. Peruvian article. Plowing pays better than politics anyhow, and it isa matter of gratification that it is more assiduously followed. Hon. A. L. Hawes, of Baker county, has a letter in Ihis morning’s News anh Aiivp.ktiseu which ought to set at rest all rumors to the effect that he is an Independent candidate for Con gress from this district. Col. Hawes has always been an uncompromising Democrat and a zealous workoT in the ranks of the party, and his prompt and ringing denial of the rumor that ho contemplated a departure from the ranks of the “organized’’ is nothing moi’e than we expected from him. They are having a perfect reign of terfor over in Ireland. Only a few days since W. E. Forster tendered his resignation as chief secietary for the Emerald Isle. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Lord Frederick Cavendish. On Saturday Lord Caven dish and under Secretary Burke were both stabbed and instantly killed in Phoenix Park, Dublin. This will doubtless cause the roaring of the Eng lish lion to be heard anew in Ireland and may be tire forerunner of blood- shed. _____ Tne Atlanta Constitution of Tues day says: Wc announce with pleasure this morning that we are just placed in possession of information we can not doubt that Mr. Stephens is. in the most thorough accord with the organ ized Democratic party of Georgia— that he will accept its nomination for Governor if it is tendered him, and that in default of this he will not he in the race for Governor as the can didate of any faction or party. We make this statement upon the most direct authority, and with the fullest indorsement of its reliability. It is evident that the authorities of Atlanta are not exercising due dili gence in handling its small pox afflic tion. ’ This fact has been before allud ed to by the News and Advertises, and in yesterday’s issue of the Consti tution we find a proof of the correct- neE3*of the view. A negro lad was taken with tbe disease and sent to the pest house, from which he doubtless escaped. He then'mohnted the train and went to his father in Cartersville, a distance of fifty miles. Tbe number of people thus exposed to this one sin gle case can hardly be estimated. It does seem that if the.proper diligence had been displayed by the authorities this could have been prevented. There is the greatest cause for alarm. If this is the way the dreaded disease is to be managed- it la dangerous for people to ride on trains coming from Atlant or to come in. contact with any thing from the Gate City. It is cerely hoped that a change made. These instances need frequent to stock the whole S the loathsome "disease. The suggests itself, and the way it is spell ed is quarantine. ON. A. L.

Like ou, this positive announce* ment - caped my attention. It was, ,-ertsi v, not over -my signature, mid let for myself on all political quesuna.

No, "sir; I -hat ot oppose the organized De mon sy in this District, but I shall i,a tt for its success just as I hare torn n the past, 'because in my pul* ent, ifs the only party to whi tho people of this country can loot i for the preservation of their igl and privileges and the perpet- of constitutional government this continent. Entertaining his union, I have never fallen in he idea that the white people of tl South ought to divide. It is my i m ind deliberate opinion that fotiction and safety of our dlpend upon their solidity. V sJd muth is a constant menace to tli imperialists of the North, and bo a happy day for them, as -vvellbs gfortunate one, when we, as. a leofle, forgetting the history p:st, shall be lorn with dis- |g fa our midst, making war ion another over the spoils of of tl sensqi! .me ofllci .:onr -y when this ;overi died®, aw hand-; of the to av is da upon min ■lenWd that t i-ible-thorn if It will be a sad day for this the management of till is turned without estrictions into the publican party. And, rt this llamity, every patriot ly hopig for stability enough the parif our people to maiti- outhermlidity. It cannot be solid South is a ter- e side of the Repub lican party, at every effort upon the part of tho ministration will be made, and al >e money that can be brought Jto ar, will be used, to break this m ity power that hangs with fearful reatenings over their efforts to sn :rt this government. This unhallo d warfare upon the Democracy o le South is not being waged, been of any fear of an other rebellio Our people would ;(-spoil<1 to-da i a call (o arms to re- 1st an invat; force with more zeal and pati ism, than would the cold, calculag masses of New England. It ot the general gov ernment we fighting; it is not tbe legally citituted authorities we are resistii but it is the fraudu lent and corru practices of the Re publican part) nd this is a greater evil, iu their, gment, than direct war upon the -eminent itself. We are mak a mighty effort in conjunction- u those brave aud patriotic men . he North and West when they ag with us about this matter, to driv -om power a party that has shed bgrace over every branch of this vernment, and left the tracks of ijfraud and pecula tion in every jpartment. This is tbe treasure abjt which they com plain, bnt it ibe mission,, never- thelsss, of theilid South aud of every patriot, tad when this grand puipose is abotfo be accomplished, cones the mad 'y for division. Let that party be riven from power, anc let this govnment rest upon a solid foundatioibefore we think of yielding to tb cry of division. Wlp is to sacrife his principles and give nn his polbai convictions that theie may be a (vision of the Sou th ern whites, and tat tbe Republican partj may be gtified ? How is the thinglo be dont By voluntary act, or ly detailing! large number of men l whose btineas it shall be to malt war upon teir own principles, and heir own pople, and what Is tbe ibject of thj, strange, inconsis- tenttonrse we ire asked to pursue ? It ishat the lepnblican party may confine in perer, and cover up as far is possibly the disgraceful re cord it has msle for itself. Whan the South wa solid on the tather ind that alidity maintained by bayonta, then we heard no a (jRision. Oor cbosen exclued from the Federal Cosfress, rottn Republican slate goi-nmentB, mpported by the stir g aim of die military force of thejountry, roibing and plunder ing 'ttr people it home. It was all then, but when our people, ~n i ■' fin h submitting fur a’long time-to tl»‘f rnv*g.'-s and oppression-, i..-o :n ihe majesty of their powi-r._and, with one grand hureulean (-flint, drove from place these miserable plunder ers, then it was that the solidity ol Ihe South beenme a diingerout factor in the polities of the . country Georgia certainly ought to have as many rights as Iowa. Yet the people of that State ■ire as solid for the llepuhlicaiis as the people, of Georgia are for the Democrats? Can't we prevaiL upon them to "divide? 1» not their contin ued solidity dangerous to the .insti tutions of this government ? There is Massachusetts, Vermortt, New Hampshire and Rhode Island that might be looked after. They are most too solid for the safety of the Republic. There is as much sense and as much patriotism in the one proposition as the other. It is sim ply :i bold, unblushing attempt of one political party, tlpit has- abso lutely grown filthy from wallowing in (lie mire of Us own corruption, to disintegrate and destroy a great conservative force that is surely and steadily moving on to victory. When we consider the record ol the Republican party, it is not at all strange that our people are solid. The only wonder is that the great mass of the Northern people are not as solid as wc are in the effort to wrest this government froui the hand of these people. There is no means the stalwart vviug of Ihe Re publican party would not adopt to accomplish Ihe object in view. That is a continuation of their hold upon this government They attempted to impeach Andrew Johnson be cause his fealty to the constitution lie had sworn to support was liigher tiian his love of party. They stole one President and secured another by brutal assassination. And is all this to be wandered at when Sena tor Sherman publicly declared in the Senate Chamber of the United States.- “That anything to beat down the Democratic and build up (he Republican party was justifiable in law and in morals.” The constitu tion must be disregarded, law set aside, tbe publie morals corrupted, if essential to the success of Ihe Re publican party. It was not long after the utterance of this patriotic expression beforo President Gar field lay weltering in his own blood, the foul act of a cowardly assassin. Of coarse, Senator Sherman is not to be held responsible for this bloody tragedy; bnt it was a dan gerous declaration of political prin ciples, and gave loose rein to mur derers and assassins. Our people can’t afford to support, either di rectly or indirectly, this party, be cause, when the war was over, they entered peaceful Stales with their armies, disfranchised enr leaders, confiscated our lands, impoverished still more our people, drove from office every man of our selection and placed instead their own servile and corrupt followers. Have we forgotten tbe Georgia Judges that were removed from the bench by the strong arm of the military, be cause they refused to prostitute their high office and stain ihe judi cial ermine by obeying the behest of a military satrap? Have we for gotten that when wc went to the polls to exercise the right of the elective franchise, a privilege inher ent in every American freeman, we were confronted with soldiers and bayonets? Have we forgotten that midnight order of Durell, by which the Legislature of the sovereign State of Lonisiana was to be arrest ed, and the military preparations, made in advance, to support the in famous outrage? Then, Tet os re member, too, as we pass on to this' grand division, the Pacific mail sub sidy, tbe millions of dollars squan dered in the Navy Department, the immense bodies of land granted by tile Republican party to gigantic railroad monopolies, amounting in value to more than seven hundred millions of dollars, that might have been directed to educational pur poses, and it would have gone a long ways toward the complete ed ucation of the colored children of the Sonth. Then there is Babcock, McDonald, Joyce, McKee, Avery and the whisky ring and the alleged connection of President Grant with this stupendous fraud. And- then, the resigning Belknap and the post- tradership, the Indian ring and the Sanborn frauds are entitled to some consideration at our bands as we pass on to a division. If yon will take the record, of .the Republican party and present it to the civilized world and fail to get a verdict that this whole country ought to be solid against such prac tices, then I’ll give up the case. Of course the parties to the transaction are not to serve on the jury. With this record, is it not best for our young men to be patient, stand by the organized Democracy till these plunderers are driven from power. Wait awhile, yonng men, there is plenty of time. If you have merit the people will discover it and re ward it, too. If may be damaging to reputation, character and country to make war upon the only conservative element In the government, guided by an ' over-wet ninr anxiety for office an 1 iiotn ii-:y.

' eN ’k York Sun. A Sun reporter held a dialogue recently with two Jews in Castle Garden. One of ihem was a Russian Jew. a graduate of an agricultural college, who hail just arrived in this country, and the other was an American Jew, a resident of tills city. “Wc are told.’’ the reporter said io the Russian Jew, -that the anti- Jewish movement under the Czar Christian intolerance plays the chief part/’ “That is utterly false,” the Russian rn|flied. “The educated Russians don’t care abont any religion, and Ihe Russian peasantry are the most tolerant people in the world, while Rus-ian law is most liberal in regard to religion. I can give you here out of my note book the full text of the law on that point This article .45, volume J.” Religious liberty is granted not only to the Christians of various foreign denominations, but also to Hebrews, Mohammedans and heath en. Let all the nationalities living in Russia glorify God A'nrighty in Iheir various tongues. Recording to the law and faith of their ancestors, in order to bless the reign of the Russian monarehs, and to pray the Cccalnr; of the world to increase the prosperity and strengthen the power of the empire. “And this law/’ continued tho Jcwi.-h agriculturist, “is not a dead tetter, cither, at toast so far ns the Hebrews are concerned. True enough the various Christian sects known under the name of Hie Old Believers and Catholics don’t enjoy full re ligious freedom, but that is only on account of their political tendencies, obnuxions to the Czar’s uiitliori- tv.” “What is,-then, the trouble ?' r ask ed the reporter. '“That is a curious tiling,” said the Russian -few, “and, to make a long story short, I will say this: Russia is already- in a state of revolution, and tlfts revolution isa political as well ns.an economical or social one. In such a slate of things, the middle men, who servo the ruling classes as a tool for oppressing (he people, are usually- first to stiller from tho wrath of the oppressed. Unhappily, our people in the Czar's country—that is, the great majority of tliein—arc Ihe middlemen. Please mark this well: While the educated Russian revolutionists deal deadly-ldows at the head of the Czar’s government, and at the same time the revolution ary peasantry strike their blows at another part ol' the government, namely, the middlemen, who happen as I have said, in this case to be Jews. A Czar is killed, and the Jews are forced to lly. Thus two important steps arc won, and two revolutionary extremes, the Nihilists and the peasants, arc brought nearei t> other. Wheu they- have united in their work, and that time is near at hand, then a revolution will be accomplished in Russia/’ “And in order to escape the hor rors of revolution your people fly from RqssJa ?” inquired the report er, ‘T would he wrong if I gave a sweeping affirmative answer,’’said the Russian emigrant. “We, the educated Uu.—ian Jews, have taken an active part in the re volutionary- movement, and you .must be nwan that among the Nihilists who have been hanged or who are dying in the Siberian mines, and in the Czar’s political prisons there is a good proportion of Jews. But now wc are not needed by the Nihilists, for this reason: Their cause is of course a political and na tional one, and the fact that tliare were Jews among them, they fear, might divert it into a race struggle, which is exactly what Minisrer Ignatieff is trying his best to do. Of course we could not stay idle in Russia, waiting perhaps our chance to be mobbed, and so tbe majority of onr people have no choice but to emigrate,’’ “Are there many Jews in Russia ready to emigrate to this conn- try?” There are in Russia about&OOO,- 000 Jews, that is, nearly half of air the Jews now in the world, and the word ‘America’ is oftenei on the tongue of everv one of them tliau even the word ’rouble.’ America, in their opinion, is the veritable land of promise, full of manna and ol dollars, in which everybody but the lazy can have plenty, and tbe Russian Jews are not lazy I have heard that there is a scheme to bring here this year abont 10,000 Russian Jews. Indeed, the only question is how to raise money for the expense of the voyage,” Employers’ ItaUIltir, N, Y. Herald. The derision jnst rendered-by the Coor(of Appeals bolding that a rail road company is not liable for the death of a fireman caused by the neg ligence ot a switcli tender, is not new law iu this State, hut it reaffirms a principle which the Legislature lately undertook to abolish without success. Rad the life of a passenger or any person not employed on the road been lost through the careless ness of the switch tender in the case, the company could have been made to pay damages. Bnt it'is exempt from liability for injury sustained by one of its servants throngh the negligence of a cocraploye. This is a legal distinction that has grown up withont'any reason or sense to support it. The English law in this point was reformed a year or two ago by Parliament, and a bill for the same purpose was brought forward in the Legislature- at'Albany last year, but it was defeated by the rail road lobby. Itistobe hoped that the matter has not been allowed to drop, since the change is one that should be made. STEPHENS TALKS AGAIN. lie Say* He la Not a Caxltdate for Governor, but Will Serve ibePeo- 1 pie In (bat Capacity If They Want j Illm. Special Dispatch to the Coutitntlon. Washinotox, May 6.—To-day I j called on Mr. Stephens and found him as usual, very much occupied : with correspondence and other bum- j ness. I said: “Not wishing to interrupt you, I i would like to propound to you some questions, if you are not disinclined to answer them, touching your can didacy for thef iovornship of Geor gia.’’ “For publication ?” said lie. “Yes, for publication.” “Well, I cannot say I have any dis inclination to answer any question you may propound on that subject, or any other in which the public interests arc involved, provided you report me exactly iu-niy own words.” Oil being assured this would be •lone,’Mr. Stephens said; WHAT HE MEANS TO DO. “In the first place, then, I want you distinctly to understand that I am not a candidate for Governor, nor am I a candidate even for nomi nation to that office by any party in Georgia. I think all that is being now said in the papers of Georgia upon that Biibject grew out of a re mark of mine that you reported some time ago, that if the people of Geor gia really wished me to serve them as Governor, as numerous letters re ceived by me indicate, I knew no reason at that time, if my health continued as good as it then was, which would justify mein refnsing so to serve them, though my own wishes and desires were, as they had been repeatedly declared, to re tire from public life at the expira tion of my present Congressional term. This I now repeat. By this language, I do not mean to an nounce myself as a candidate or even au aspirant for the Govern orship, but to express a simple wil lingness to serve as Governor it the pcuple iu au authoritative manner should express a wish for me to serve them/’ A KCMOK DENIED. “Is there any- authority for the statement that you will accept the nomination for Governor by the mass meeting advertised to be held in Atlanta, on the first of June, and representing what is called the coal- tion party in Georgia?” “None, whatever, though I should, not be disrcgardfnl of such an ex pression of confidence by any num ber of citizens of the Stale, aud the more so, coming from men not of my own political association.” A NOMINATION WOi LD BE ACCEPTA BLE. “If a convention of tbe Democrat ic party, selected under the coin- moii_ usages ot the party, should nominate you for Governor, would you accept the nomination ?” “r should take that certainly- as such a demonstration of popular confidence and the will of tile people as would meet the contingency under which I have stated my- willingness to serve in that capacity- to the best of my- ability, and I should accept the trust looking after the rights and interests of all classes without re gard to party organization, but with the object in view of restoring har mony to tbe entire State, building our waste places and restoring the old commonwealth as far as possible to her former proud position iu the sisterhood of the Stales, of Ihe Union/’ A Baker County Picnic—Compli ments to a Gentleman—Young Ilr, DeMoffl Present. Newton, Baker County, Ga.J April 27,1882. < We have had a picnic and dance without artesian water, bnt a suc cess, nevertheless. The people be gan to gather about eleven o’clock, and as soon as they conld be con veyed across to Livingston’s Island, by the steamer Hudspeth, propelled by hand power, they proceeded to the City Park. And while the older people spread the highly appreciat ed eatibles, the younger indulged in the usnal private chat characteristic on such occasions. On account of an an welcomed shower onr stay was a brief one on .the Island. We ail returned to the city and, after a few hours rest, convened at the Court House, and spent the balance of the time in tripping the light fantastic toe until about 12 o’clock p. m. And among the young ladies, Mr. Editor, it would have been a difficult mat ter for the writer te have decided who was the belle of the occasion. Misses Addie and Katie White- head honored the occasion with their presence: and, I am assured, carried away the hearts of quite a number of the young gentlemen, while the Misses McGregor receiv ed marked attention and are more than appreciated by all. The grace ful Miss Carrie Stubbs, of Amcri- cub, was present and tripped the light fantastio like a fairy. Among the younger boys was Dr. DeMoss, who was all smiles and looked as pleasing as a basket of chips. We were also highly entertained by Mr. C. F. Norris, the graceful racket dancer, while his brother, Mr. C. E. Norris, was being highly compli mented by- one of the fair sex in these terms; That she thought him either dressed up, drunk or crazy.
