Countt politics arc getting ripe. Mu, Snnicn is in Mscon, and will speak there to-night It is to be hoped that the cool rain that wo had yesterday afternoon and last night will prove to bo the black cap of thn hot wave. Tint Macon Telegraph is about to become reconciled at last, and the tone of its two Isst issues leads us to hope that it will now “let up’’ on Mr. Stephens. Let the band play. New kid gloves for travel bare a little pocket in the palm of the hand. —Fashion Item. This will give the co idnctor an opportunity to render an excuse for his broken finger. Eh? Joe Harris. Gov. Colquitt, Hon. X. J. Ham mond and Jndge James Jackson are the announced candidates for the United States Senate from Georgia. “A first-class scramble may be antici pated,»’ smith a Georgia paper, and we believe it, top. A Chicago minister makes a note of the fact that he has never seen a lady reading a newspaper in a street car. Well? He has never seen a lady smoking on a car platform, cither, has he? It simply goes to show that a lady is not a gentleman.—Augusta News. The Second district is ahead of all the other Congressional districts, hav ing Independent candidates. They all sport their Independent Democrats while we have the Independent Re publican. We don’t know whether or not he is Jeffersonian. In this he may not so widely differ. We recommend the Hon. H. G. Turner to the Republicans or the Sec ond district as a gentleman entitled to tfccir support under their resolution published elsewhere in these columns declaring that "a free ballot and a fair count, with liberal education for the mas«< s, i» the foundation upon which Republican government rests.” Capt. Turner is a strong advocate of these principles. The census showed that there were an aggregate of more than a million, males more than females in this conn- try, and yet in fifty of the largest cities there wero several houndred thousand more females that males. The ex planation is apperent. A city affords more ways of livelihood for women than smaller towns do, and on the ther hand men go out to seek their fortune in new regions. The Macon Sunday Graphic, a paper of some few months age, lias shod its pin feath ers, and is to come ont as the Evening Graphic hereafter. Eugene P Speer and John T. Boifcuilietarc to engineer It. These two gentlemen in time past have occopicd high positions in the guild, and theie is no reason to prevent them serving the nicest and genleeles*. little evening paper in the State, and we are mistaken in them if they do not. The State central commit'ocs of the two wings of the Republican party met in Atinnla on Wednesday and har monized, altering the State ticket to the following: C. D. ForsytV, for Con- gre-sman-nt-large; S. A. Darnell, for Attorney-General ; W. A. Pledger, for Sccretaiy of State; Floyd S. Nel son, Comptroller- General; W. F. Barnes, Treasurer. A. E. Back was made chairman of the State Central Committee, and W. A. Pledger chair man of the executive committee. From wbat we gather from onr ex changes, we conclude that the storm of Saturday night was about as severe in this immediate section of the State as anywhere. It is difficult to trace the coarse of the gale, as it appears to have shifted several times daring the night. It was the most disastrous September storm this section of the country has experienced in many years; bat the extent of the damage to property and the crops has doubt less been overestimated on first con clusions. The last issue of the Cartersville Free Pres* comes to us with the fol lowing stamped upon the margin in red letters: “you are indebted for your subscription to the Free Presr, please remit at once.

An exuberant Americas correspon dent of tho Macon Telegraph exult antly published Sunday morning tho big fact that Americas had received 1,800 bales of cotton up to noon Fri day. The headline editor of the Telegraph makes it enormous. Why. bless your little innocent souls, one warehouse in Albany has received over 1,000 bales, leaving four other precincts to lie beard from. We haven’t the time to figiiro it up, but the Telegraph may put in the Stale news column, as a sale fact, that onr receipt*, since the first bsle came in, will amount to nearly three thous and.

Louisville, Ivy., Ccptctnbcr 4.— Old Dr. 11., s'lititij; in tiis office be fore a warm, comfortable fire, hop ing no one would call him out oil such a miserable, cold and riHagrco- a’lle night. A sprinkling cold rain is tailing without, and every tree is cry staled with its weight of frozen let*. Now nml then the pusser-by drop* in to warm, mid cxpres.es the opinion that this is the coldest night that ever visited Louisville—January 1,1803. The old doctor had been wrapped ill the arms of Morpheus scarcely an hour when a violent ring at the door-bell arouse ) him from bis slumbers. A messenger for bis immediate attention waited, and, with breathless anxiety, begged biin not delay a moment. With rcluctancy the old servant of distress bows bis bead to the storm and went bis way. A few block* from Ids office stood a hoti*v, a home for three trem-rations or Kentucky’s best people. The first to meet him after entering anil mounting the richly- carpeted s’airs hu is ushered into ttic sick mom of a young girl not quite eighteen years old, who rolls and writhes in her agony of pain. This fair and beautiful creature, raised in tho lap of luxury mid comfort, lm* fallen from the |t-nh of virtue and is about to become a mother. After forty bouts of labor it wa* deter mined, after expert coii-ultathiu, that destruction ol Ihe unb. iu babe was neiv-Kary that me unit her might live. Her parents beiig Roman Catholics, Ibis coarse was objected to, but consented to Cesarian section. This was done; Ihe child lived (a little girl), the mother died a few hoars after. This tender young girl refused on her dying bed to betray tho father cf her child. The mother of this unfortunate girl besceclicd tho old doctor to care for this off spring, and snvd her and her name from disgrace. lie did so: took that little breathing mortal in his arms and deposited It In bis wife’s top, asking her ns a Christian woman, ami as God had never blessed her home with a child, to rear and care for it as her own. This (ostcr-molli- er took and nestled it to her breast, and from that moment a maternal affection went to this little creature, and they lived as mother and child. From babyhood to maturity this child was sunshine and happiness to this old couple. Bui, alas! another came and stoic part of this affection —a noble youth, a man to be honor ed and respected. She loved him and became Ids wife, and Kiev were very happy. Just nineteen years after this little, girl was so unnaturally brought into tho world wo tind tho doctor silting before the same fireplace thinking of that eventful night. The sound of a carriage and tho ring of Iris hell awakes him from Ids dream of the past A gentleman is ushered into his presence, and each, with a mutual conscut, recognizes an old fellow and school-mate. “Welcome hack, old play-mate,’’ cried the d icier in ccstacy; “sit down, sir, mid give an account of yourself!” “Weil, doctor, alter leaving here about nineteen years ago I went East, and have been quite fortunate in my specula tion*, amassed quite a fortune, but it amounts to nothing, as I have no one to leave it to.” "Why, John, I thought you had a family.’’ “Well, I did; but, you sec. me and my wife did not get along very well, and tho result was, wo separat ed, she taking our only child, George, and I, wild with grief and despair, cared not what became of me, drift ed fiotn pillar to post until I lauded in New York City.” “John, what became of your wife and children?” “I don’t know; have advertised, but I think she must have married again, and will not now be recogniz ed by my name.’’ After tea the doctor invited his friend in to see Hie litllo new comer, only a futv hours old. The little one was mined from its «m>w-whitc pil'ow for iospeetinu, and, stinuge ns it may seem, this mail of the world then felt the lonenes* of bis lot, without wife, without his own child. After passing into the smok ing-room Ihe old doctor felt in a. talking humor, nrd felt to his friend like none other on earth, and to him he would tell the secret of the young mother upstairs. During the recital shadows of remorse and despair passed over tho face of hi* friend, mid at Inst the truth told ho heavily upon that he confessed the same girl and young mother was Iris own flesh nod blood. Tills same child (then Inuler..) was the sole cause of Iris wife’s separation. During this ac knowledgement the young husband, happv ami ddlighled with the wel fare of his wife and babe, about to lure back on seeing the doctor en gaged, answered to an old and res pected friml, Mr. John Stone. “This is my son-in-law. Mr. Stone. How very strange to introduce two of the same name.” Stone, senior, was too iniieli sur prised to hear any .mure, clasped the young man in Iris arms, aud declar ed him tube his son George, his lost boy. George told him he iiin.*t be dreaming or crazy. “Xu,” said the senior “you are too much like your mother forme lo be mi-taken. Geor ge. where i* your iii’sthcr? I pray you. In Godv name tell me! for I have done her great wrong ’, Hu sent ■fpr her, and it was so. George was his son, George’s wife was Iris daught er. nml lie bad tntirrie-l his sis ter. Tills romance, as it might proba bly hft railed true to the letter, and nothing related borders on the ficti- tioiis.aml it is regretted that interest ed parties absolutely decline to allow other names to apiicar, hut (lie prin- icptl one* arc truly presented. Colonel Itmcnial’a Ettiica. New York World. Colonel Bob Iugersoll consistently expressed the opinion from the be ginning of his career as a profes sional liifidu! tint’ morality owed nothing to Christianity. In fact, one of Id* chief complaints against the Christian religion has been that Christian morals were not strict enough or pure enough for Colonel Bob. Hi* spiritual yearnings dc- mmd. d something higher and no bler. To be sure, the attendants upon Bob’* lectures never found out what it was, but they respected the ideal w hich I’ub loiiiut it impossi ble to formulate. As in lesihetics, so in ethics, there is nothing like setting up to be better than your neighbors: “An*I every cue sill say a* you goyour spoiling wav, I f that I* not (too.1 cuMigli f r lilm which i* Coo*I enough for me, Wtiy, wlmt u particularly good ol.) .coffer Hits c hmI old scoffer must l>e. , ' Ills n little tinfurtunnle for Bob that his appearances ns a practical politician anil a practical lawyer arc not such us to shed any satisfactory light upon ihe problem of Bob’s ethic*, upon which hu is alto unable t> shed any hght in his lectures Bub’s first conspicuous appearance wns as Ihe champion of Ilhiinc in the Cincinnati Convention of 1870. In that the inert sonorous effort of Bob’s iif>-, in which it is s-iid that be smashed the glass in houses three squares away, he treated with par ticular disdain, what the friends of other candidate* had imputed as a drawback to Bob’s candidate, the charge that he had sold ton rni>road company for stock the rulings of the Speaker of tie? House of Represen tatives “W’e don’t want a man,’’ bellowed the impassioned Bub, “who comes here “with a certificate of luoml character from a “Confeder ate Congress,” and in Mr. Blaine, as IWb justly went on to point out, they had no such man. If whnl wns wanted was a man whose integrity Imd neither been proved nor certi fied by a Confederate Congress, Bob’s nun not only filled hut over flowed the bill. Bob’s speech wns received with tremendous applause by the friends of Blaine, as assist ing the chances of their candidate, but upon tho deeper question of Bob’s ethics it shed no light, except of a lurid and discouraging blue. And now Bob lias plunged agarn from the flowery mead of specula tive infidelity into the jungle of practical politics, and as counsel for the Star-route has a second conspic uous opportunity to make a practi cal application of the morals which are so superior to Christian morals. We are aware that if. is the custom of lawyers who do not protend to be better than their neighbors to take retainers from anybody who can pay retainers; but from him, as an irreligious moralist, wc might ex pect a more exalted view of profes sional duty. Of courso Bob’s clients are thieve*, and of course Bob knows they arc thieves, and it is painful to sec a good and pure Bob exerting his faculties to prevent their pun ishment ns thieves. It is particular ly painful to linvu Bob distinctly as serting that they are not thieves when he knows no well that they are. I*, is painfully inaccurate Tor Bob to assert that the reputation of his clients depends upon the verdict of the jury, when in point of fnef ihe verdict ot the jury cannot afl'ect the reputation of his clients nt all, since that was done for before the jury wns impanelled. A verdict of ac quittal would very powerfully and very unfavorably affect the rcpiiLn- tioii of the jury, and it would vari ously affect the repotition of Boh. It would Increase bis reputation a* a slut!p lawyer whom a rascal would do well to employ when he was caught, hut, alas, it woo'd much im pair his reputation ns a professor ol purer ethics than are taught from pulpit*. In fact, we fear Unit Bob's summing lip has finished that al ready. When a moralist who Is try ing to raise thn moral tone of the community hv inducing it to di.*he- lleve In the Chrlsiian religion pub licly asserts that men nrc innocent whom he knows to be guilty, nml endeavors to get them off front pun ishment, not be establishing their innocence but by interposing tech nical defenses, it in difficult to declare that his ethics are loftier limit those of the humblest Christian shyster. Jesse James’ s layer. THE IIANDIT WHOHUIISCRIBED FOR FIVE NKtlSPAFKUS. Tlio Ford Urotlicra In Town—The* Do Not Answer the Popular Idea— Their Quiet and Pool Uabavlor. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Ford brothers arrived in town yesterday morning, aud will appear on the beards nt the Vine-street opera house to-iright in u drama written for them, entitled “The Out law or Missouri.” Nalurallv there Is much curiosity to sec them, hut those who expect to look upon the two swaggering bullies or the bor der ruffian type will he greatly dis appointed if iheir behavior nu the stage answers to their appearance in private life. They arc quiet, raodcst- ly-bchavcd young men, neither rough nor rustic in their carriage, use fairly correct English, above that of the uveragu city boy, and are very mild of countenance. The elder, Charles, who is twenty-four year*, scents rather weak, nml is re tiring in disposition, nml allowed hie brother to do most of’he talking in an interview with him yesterday. Ilis appearance betokens ill health. Ills younger brother, Robert, is twenty. His complexion.is smooth and clear, nnd iris expression frank and boyish. On the whole, be is quite a handsome boy, and, if seen amid, a number of average boys of his age. would be accounted a nice, quiet, good-humored lad. The nerve that is in the boys is ex pressed principally in the lines about the mouth of the younger. “Have you any fear of Frank James?’’ “I don’t think Frank James is in the country. I bclitve he has gone to England. Ho talked last fall ns though he was about going to Eng land. Shortly after Jesse was killed Frank’s wife came from Lynchburg, Vn., where they had been living. You see that was the way they did. When they had to leave any part ol the country because it was too hot for them they left suddenly and their wives arranged their affairs for them, then packed up ami went home for ft while. So when Frank’s wife showed herself wc kucw Frank bad taken the alarm. We knew he was not in Missouri, for we worked faithtully to liml whether he was there, aud could find no trace of him. Weave not afraid of his doing us any harm, unless one of us should happen to meet him then the best man would be the quickest. But wc arc not afraid of any. unless it is some cranks who would like to gain some notoriety.” Said Bob Ford, speaking of the bandit’s habits: “Jesse James always hid in tiie cities. Whenever he com mitted one of his robberies ho al ways made for the nearest town, aud lived quietly* until ihe search for him was over. If lie had gone to the bush lie would have been cap tured. But while they were looking in the woods for him he was iu town umtei an assumed name, read ing the papers and keeping himself informed. After a robbery he al ways tried to get the newspapers and read an account of it; so lie al ways found out who the ofilceix were who wero after him, mid laughed nt the steps taken to cap ture him.” “He wasn’t known in St. Joe, then ?'• 'No one knew him in St. Joe. ilc rented a bouse there, and was living quietly with only his wife and chil dren ami Charley with him. The next morning after the Blue Cut rob bery, near independence, lie was at home reading the papers. While he was sitlhig there at theopcu win dow with his feet on the window sill, rending a newspaper account of the iiffuir, a lot of officers went by, talking of what they were going to do to capture Irim. One of the of ficers said: ‘Wc are goiug to get him this time.’ lie was not twenty- five feet away from them at the titu’e. Ho laughed heartily at this.’’ “Would Jesse James betray his men?” asked the reporter. “Jess killed one that wc know of, and suspect him of killing anoth er. He killed Ed Miller while Mil ler was asleep. Ilc was jealous of Miller, who was more thought of by the boys tliau he was. lie said him self that he killed seven men. If he grew jealous of n mail he would turn loose and kill him, and excuse himself afterwards by saying thev were going to betray him. lie has been known to kill his own men for their money. After the Glendale robbery, three years ago, he talked to Iris cousin of killing Dick Little and Ed Miller for their money nml going back to Tennessee. They only gotf1,000 apiece in that robbery.’ “Wero bis men afraid of him ?’’' “Jesse James would light under nny circumstances,’’ said Boh. “His men were afraid of Iris treachery, not because hu was brave.’’ Here a discussion arose between the brothers whether Jesse Janies was really brave. Charles, who was with him no longer, maintained that he was. Charles said: “I think he was a brave man, for the reason that he never took anv liquor when lie was on one of Iris raids. All Ihe rc«|. «>t‘ the men would drink to get their courage up before going into a town, until they were hair drunk. Jesse James wns as treacherous a* he could he. He would laugh and talk with a mini when ho couhl cut Iris heart out, and was only waiting for a chance It* kill him when hu was not on the watch.” “How do the people of MIsmiiii i regard you ?•’ “They Bccin well disposed toward ns, with the exception of n few roughs. Those who knew the mo t of Jesse .lames like.l him the least, lie marie a good impression at first. ilc was polite, nml could talk well on almost any question.” “Were not tho of his gang alrairi ol each other?” •‘They were always on the watch nnd I eared each other. This is the reason they made so many escapes. They were afraid lo leave each oth er, too. If a man should talk of leaving, he Weldd bo killed iiisiant- iy." In further conversation Boh said they were in constant receipt of let ters threatening their lives, some signed by Frank James. Two let ter* canto in one day, one from Nashville and one from Texas, both signed “Frank James. 1 ’ A* Charles grimly remarked, “Frank James is Hot in the habit of sending notices; he generally carries them himself.” Ihe reward of $10,000 they received inside of two months. The Alton Railroad very promptly paid its por tion. The were c*pecial;y kindly treated by the railrond people, whose business Imd been badly damaged by Jesse James. One fanner, who had had Imnl for sale, had not been aide to sell any of it bccauso of the fear of the Jntncs brothers, which checked immigration, and he tvas so relieved by the death of Jesse James that he announced his intention of presenting the Ford brothers with 360 acres. In the account they gave of the killing ot Jckm) James which is u fa miliar story, they said he subscribed for five daily papers to keep him self posted. One of liis peculiarities wns that he would not allow any one who was with him to send n letter off until he bud road it himself. Thus the brothers could not get word to the officers who were co operating with them. Their plan iu joining him was to capture him and the gel $45,000 reward, but to cap ture (rim when he was armed was impossible, as he was too quick and alert, and he never let his weapons be out of arm’s reach except the one time when be was killed. The day he wns killed thu Kansas City Times published the fact that Bob Ford tvas with him for the purpose of killing him. Had he lived a few hours longer aud read the paper, the Ford boys would havo been done for. All their plans of capture were fruitless, us he always locked himself in his room at night with every door and window secured, not only against violence, but chlo roform. lie was always watching for surprises. No orainnry trap could catch such n fox. The Ford brothers will remain on the stage four weeks lougcr, when Bob must return to stand Iris trial for killing Woodson Hite, one of the gang. It that turn* out all right they will continue on the stage. The Ford brothers were engaged in none of the crimes of the James gang. They joined It after the re ward was offered. They acknowl edged that they bad met with some prejudice, but wherever the Tacts were explained, and it was shown that the only way to save the lives of oilier men was to capture or kill James, and that when once in with James they could only save their nvn lives by taking bis, this pre judice was removed. In point of security they pteferred Missouri, for there they knew their friends aud their enemies. The Wealthiest Colored Ulan la Georgia* His name is Henry Todd, and he lives nt Darien, In this State. When a youth his master died and left him his freedom as a reward for Iris faithful attention during the slave holder's last sickness. Young Todd was so c-teemed bv tiie family that they insisted on bis remaining iu their employ and paid him a hand some salary. He wns a sort of as sistant overseer on the plantation. By the kindly aid of white friends he soon became a laud owner, and then a prosperous farmer. In a few years his allairs showed the result ol industry nnd natural business la’- ent in a snug little fortune. His quiet manner and strict uprightness guarded him from the bitter preju dice which in those days both races felt f'*r the average “tree nigger.’* Henry Todd soon had ciiouuli money to hold slaves himself, and he purchased several as a matter of economy. When the Confederacy fell he lost twenty iH>grocn*and sonic mo'ney in Confederate bonds. Tin* severe blow was iu a measure coun teracted by his good fortune, having on hand a crop ot cotion, which then demanded titty cents a pound. Alter the war he continued his farm ing operations, bat also engaged in the lumber business. Hi* remarka ble success continued, and to-day be own* tw o large lumber niilis ar.ri exports very extensively, lie is 05 years old and has a good education. He is worth $100,OO'J in good invest ments. lie lives on a neat country home, surrounded by a family < j five children, who enjoy the luxuries of life. Every summer they leave the coast aud spend the hoi mouth* at a house which they own in one of the c«»oI mountain nooks of North Georgia. Henry Todd hascarcltrily kept from active participation in politics, though he has frequently been solicited to be a candidate, lit? has constantly voted the Democratic ticket and has always advised hi* colored friends against the carp-f baggers who have deceived and swindled them in Georgia since the war. Hi* example is in every way healthy for the negroes of Georgia. He Is public spirited nml generous, giving freely to charitable objects, lie has educated hi* children well and will leave them rich. Cotton Need. MUK .lcit.lle Runnier. It may be well enough just now to remind the farmer, both white and colored, of the great value of his cotton seed, nnd the importance of taking good caro ol them. Thev have very suddenly grown to bo one of Ihe planter’* most fruitful source* of wealth. They are worth folly a* much nts a third of the cotton made..
