Xt> Atlanta Contitution yesterdi
H'is the fast mail petei
The demand for a solid
delegation from Georgia in
Congress is imperative.
“•The President has issued a procla
mation setting apart the 30th of No
vember as a National Thanksgiving
day. __ .
The Macon Telegraph was the only
paper received here yesterday con
taining the full report of the organiza
tion of the Georgia Legislature, and it
was eagerly sought.
The example set by Judge Harrell
and Judge Twiggs ought to be noted
by other Independents. It is a much
better way of retiring than to be asked
to do so bv the people at the polls.
The News ahd adyebtibeb sends a
bushel of congratulations to the Au
gusta Evening Seine upon its new
raiment. May she al ways continue to
be lend filly in the procession of
Georgia evening papers
Xobtheun capitalists ho’d mortga
ges on Georgia farms for $1,000,000
loaned to needy proprietors. The
loans average $100,000 per month.
These Northern capitalists will own
many an acre in Georgia.
Fbom Atlanta we learn that the
Legislators are very much hacked and
worried by the importunities of the
candidates. The boys will doubtless
draw a sigh of relief when the elections
■ are over and they have settled down
to business.
Accohijisq to a Macon Graphic
correspondent Mr. Stephens has a
superstition about Friday, and so will
not be inaugurated on that day. He
declines to become Governor on Satur
day, becaure the inaugural ball would
violate Sunday morning.
An Atlanta dispatch to the Macon
Telegraph yesterday, dated Novem
ber 1st, says: “The best information
to-night gives the opposition 125, Col
quitt 53, doubtful SC.” “P* W. A.”
regards the election of Garrard to the
Speakership as a black eye to the Col-
quittites.
The account of the organization of
the Georgia Legislature as taken from
the Savannah News will be found on
the first page of the News and Adver
tiser this morning. The occasion was
void o» any particular interest, save the
withdrawal of all except the leading
candidates for the speakership, to save
defeat. '
President Boynton will run the Sen
ate of Georgia with the same ability
that characterized his presidency dur
ing the last Legislature. Speaker
Garrard will make a good speaker, but
stands in an unenviable position as the
successor of Bacon. Howevei, he is
level-headed, and after a while com
parisons will be unthought.
The Atlanta Posi-Appeal will here
after be a morning paper, containing the
press dispatches and a full amount of
news. With the new fast schedule to
Southwest Georgia it will enable our
people to get the latest news, and
reach them on the day of publication.
The paper iB one of the newsiest in
the State, and w, 1 commend it to our
I riends.
Our “Rives” correspondent is under
the impression that Dougherty county
does not fuvor Colquitt for Senator.
We have received similar information
from other responsible and intelligent
sources.—31 aeon Telegraph. At
any rate i t will be necessary to call an
election to correctly decide the ques
tion. Things are deucedly mixed.
The seventh of November! This
is sale day. Will be sold at the Court
House, in due forms of law, all the
rights, titles, etc., the Republicans
have in Charles AVessolowsky, Inde
pendent-Republican, and high tariff
candidate for Congress. Sale made to
the lowest bidder to perfect title. No
affidavit of illegality taken by that
High Sheriff—the Democracy.
Editor Triplett,of Thomasville, was
a good oh 1 “Confod.” He draws his
language and metaphors from milita
ry practice to this day. He must have
been a sharp-shooter, or had in charge
a mountain howitzer. Listen how he
ta’ks of the battle on the 7th of No
vember. “Close tjp the ranks, and
give them a full volley, a regular
broadsider, on the 7th of November.”
If all the betting talked of in the
Athens Banner- Watchman is really
carried on we think the grand jury
of Clark county ought not to complain
of nothing to do. It is as much against
the law tobet on elections as on the
turn of & card at a faro bank. Here
we see the disgraceful spectacle of
men publicly parading their name9 in
print as having made bets and willing
to make more.

It was suggested by a practical
■eacher—Dr. Talmage, of New York.
Gov. Colquitt would make a splendid
Vico President. That would be better
for his style of mind than the Senator-
ship. The ticket needs some explana
tion. The Colquitt alluded to is our
Governor, llis religion and Christi
anity, by reason of their strong setting
forth in the canvass^ of 1880, have
gained prominence. Indeed, to
oppose him seems a disregard
of religion itself. His historian,
I. W. Avery, takes this view:
He calls the Governor “the exponent
and champion of temperance and reli-
giou,’’and ssys that in 1880 the-very
“cause of morality and religion were im
periled in their cherished exponent.”
When Talmage read this wonderful
book of Avery’s and saw Colquitt
saved religion to Georgia, no wonder
he wanted him Vice-President of all
the Stales. The St. John alluded to
is not the St John of the Scripture,
who wrote Revelation, but simply a
common man, a sinner at that, the
Governor ’of Kansas. According to
Georgia orthodoxy and faith the tick
et should read St. Colquitt and Sin
ner John. But all mischief aside,
Gov. Colquitt would make a grand
Vice-President And if he was out of
politics he should be niatie a Bishop.
What a magnificent Bishop he would
-make! *

The following is going the rounds:
“It is given out that Governor Steph
ens, of Georgia, will not remove any
officer in the State department who
has done and.is now doing his duty.”
What a fine commentary is this
upon our system of doing public busi
ness ! It is thought to be a wonder
ful and commendable thing in a Gov
ernor that he will not turn out of place
officials who are doing their duty
What would be thought of the mana
ger of a railroad, who was praised for
keeping men in employment because
they were competent and faithful?—

Mr. Henry M. McIntosh, editor of
this journal, left Monday * to take
his seat in the next Georgia Legisla
ture. Besides furnishing the proceed
ings of this body, in matters concern
ing this section, he will also keep up
his daily aud weekly intercorse with
our readers in editorial coriespond-
ence. The facilties of the News and
Advertiser, theiefore, for furnish
ing a full epitome of what is to trans
pire in the Legislature are superior,
and on this account we invite enroll

for both the daily and weekly.
A few evenings ago Judge “Jerry”
Black presided at a political meeting
at York, Penn. On taking the chair
he said: “I hardly intended to be here
to-night; but I saw in a little newspa
per that Judge Black would now have
to show his hand in this campaign.
There they are,and he gracefully
held forward both hands. “There is
no stain on them. They never held
a bribe.”
The campaign in the Ninth district
is getting to be entirely too personal.
Some of the papers of the district are
teeming with vituperation and the
coarsest kiud of personal attacks, and
it will be a relief to the people of the
district when the election is over and
all this mud slinging ceases.
Some of the good Atlanta folks have
been eating fine sand for djspepsia.
Grady and the Commissioner of Agri-
cuture have been at it. And these Geor
gia papers speakof them as “dirt-eat
ing’’ men. Not at all so. They are
only putting sand into their gizzards to
give them grit enough to help Colquitt
out in his Senatorial ambition. Let
the boys eat sand to buoy them up
and don’t call it dirt-eating.
We have been shown a circular
from Mr. E. C. Grier, Secretary of the
Georgia Agricultural Society, in which
ths« officer informs the society of this
county that it cannot be represented
in the next semi-annual convention
unless a meeting is held and a roll of
the members forwarded :o headquar
ters. We are, therefore, requested to
call a meeting of the Agricultural So
ciety for Saturday next, the 4th of
November, at the Court House. As
the next convention is to meet in Al
bany it is high time our agricultural
ists began to bestir themselves. Re

Saturday next.

ors till some successful plan is discov
ered. Mr. S. C. Furgerson, of Belton, .
Texas, thinks he has the correct theo
ry, and would not object to correspond
with parties on the subject. He ex
presses his views and experience for
the public benefit in the following lines
to the Galveston News:
'Col P. W. Alexander is writing
the Macon Telegraph some racy let
ters from Atlanta. He is after the
“bosses*’ with a sharp stick, and is
rendering material aid to our Macon
contemporary in its fight against Gov
ernor Colquitt for th j United States
Senate.
The clans are gathered in
AliaDta. If some of those who are
“electioneering” for office don’t mind
they will overdo the thing and lose
more votes than they will gain by
their pressing importuuities.
It is now pretty generally conceded
that the Lower House of the Forty-
eighth Congress will be Democratic.
The Senate will probably be Republi-
can.
Naval Stores.
Savannah Recorder.
Although of but :t few years exist
ence, the amount of business transact
ed in this city, in the trade of naval
stores, is simply immense, and is daily
growing in magnitude.. This particu
lar department of commerce was con
fined principally to the port of Wil
mington untii a very recent date, when
the great advantages of Savannah, with
the vast pine forests of Georgia, a i»er-
fect mine of wealth, convenient and
accessible by rail and water, attracted
the attention of those familiar With
such interests, and at once the port of
Savannah loomed up gradually, until
now she is second to none in her traf
fic, both foreign ami coastwise, in her
shipments of this important branch of
trade, which enters so largely into and
is a most important factor in the ma
rine architecture of the world.
To get a faint idea of this expanding
business one needs but to pass along the
wharves eastward from Lincoln street
to the S., F. & W% R. R. wharves,
when his eyes will be met by count-,
less barrels of rosin and spirits await
ing shipment to some market. The
amount of money distributed among
the laboring classes as the result of a
few vears’ ^operations in this indus
trial ’ branch. is simply fabulous and
may be summed up into the thous
ands weekly. Aside from the numer
ous crafts and railways that are active
ly engaged in tnuisporting the article
to this market there are thousands of
hands in the turpentine forests prepar
ing it for market, to say nothing of the
army of employees who are engaged
in its handling at this point preparato
ry to its going on shipboard. In brief,
the naval stores trade of the port of Sa
vannah is no small item in her commer
cial greatness and is ranked only by
cotton, and that simply in its season,
as the former is handled throughout
the entire year, affording employment
in the dull summer when not a bag of
cotton is to he seen.
The Grave ot Artenmn.
A riemns Ward’s grave is marked l y
a plain marble slab, on which is the in
scription, “Charles F. Browne, known
to the world as Artemus Ward; died
at Southampton, England, 1867, aged
33 years.” And beneath this line:
“His memory will always he a sweet
and unfading recollection.” These
words were copied from the letter sent
to the sorrowing mother by Mr. Miller,
Cotton picking machinery is an idea
ofsucli importance that it must con- the English-entlemjm who cured for
... nf invent- tl.e son in his last illness, and closed
The marriage insurance compa
nies which have had a big run in the
Western and Southwestern States;
and which at one time threatened to
outrival the graveyard insurance
swindles of Pennsylvania, are rapid
ly coming to grief. The plan, of these
concerns was so absurd that it was
“I think a blast, is the only means of
taking cotton from the stalk; say. a
blower, similar to that of a foundry,
on one side of the row and a receiver
on the other, with an agilatorbetween.
1 tried the experiment in a small way
with a grain fan, but could not get
wind enough. I next took some staiks
of cotton and held them before the
ouage cock of a steam boiler and the
cotter left as if by magic. 7 ’
a wonder that any sensible person
took stock in them, bnt of course
there is always a large class trying
to make money without working for
it. We are glad the people ot the
South Atlantic Stales, or at least in
the eastern portion of them, were
very dubious about the marriage as
sociations, and but little loss will be
sustained by them, even if the last
of these swindles fail.
I* I r«t I>:i j *•» Session—Garrard, of
.Rattcnsee, Elected Speaker—Con
tested Vat— Proceedings of Moth
Houses.
Special to Savannah News.
Atlanta, Ga., November 1. —The
House was called to order by Clerk
Harden at ten o’clock The members
were sworn in by Judge Hood, of the
Pataula Circuit. There were about a
dozen absentees. " Col. O^ens was
not present The returns from Eman
uel county have not yet been receiv
ed, and the members were not sworn
in.
There are two colored members
present, Wilson, of McIntosh, and
Johnson, of Lee, Wilson, of Camden,
an old member, is here to contest for
a seat. This session theie is a good
sprinkling of old members.
Louis Garrard, ot Muscogee, was
elected Speaker without opposition
and was conducted to the chair by
Messrs. Ray, Rankin, and Hoge, and
made appropriate remarks, in which
he strongly favored only a forty days’
session. By arduous labor the work
could be completed without an ad
journed session.
Mr. Harden was elected Clerk
without opposition. Captain Falli-
gant, of Chatham,in a beautiful speech,
nominated Mr. Rankin for Speaker
pro tens, amidst applause, and he was
elected without opposition. Mr. Smyth
was re-elected Messenger—no oppo
sition. Mr. Miller was re-elected
Doorkepeer, receiving 111 votes to
Anglin’s 53.
The Governor notified the House*of
a contest in Camden county..
The members drew seats by . lot.
Chatham, arriving last, drew seats in
the back row on the left aide of the
main door The usual committees to
notify the Senate and Governor were
appointed, and the House adjourned
until 10 o’clock to-morrow.
The Senate was called to order by
Secretary Harris, and the Senators
sworn in by Judge Wellborn, of the
Northeastern Circuit. Mr. Boynton
was elected President and Mr. Polhill
President pro tem. There was no op
position.
Secretary Harris and Messenger
Cameron were re-elected without op
position. Allred was elected Door
keeper.
There was no Senator absent except
P. W. Meldrim, of Chatham. If his
seat is to be contested no notice has
yet been received by the Governor or
Secretaiy of State.
President Boynton made an appro
priate address and strongly advocated
no adjodmed session, but there is sure
to be one.
Rev. Dr. John Jones will be Chap
lain of the State.
After the usual routine work the
Senate adjourned to 10 o’clock to
morrow.
The galleries and lobbies were
crowded with spectators and candi
dates, and there was lively election
eering.
Tbe State Treasurer’s Report.
State Treasurer Speer has issued
his report in pamphlet form. The
following synopsis of its contents
will prove interesting to our readers:
The balance in the treasury on Oc
tober 7th, 1881, was $794,547 51. The
amount received in the treasury from
October 7, 1881 to September 30,1882,
was $1,609,432 10 or a total of $2,403,-
976 61. The disbursements from
October 7,1881, to September 30 1882,
were $1,713,507 46, leaving balance in
the treasury on October 1st, 1882, of
$690,472 15. The bilance of $690.-
472 15, is not a cash balance, but
largely consists of State of Georgia and
United Slates bonds, received on ac
count of the second payment from the
purchasers of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad, and the suspended
balance due from the Citizens’ Bank
and the Bank of Rome, (State deposi

GEORGIA'S ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The amount yet duo on the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad is about $700,
0U0. The State is endorser for the
South Georgia and Florida Railroad to
the extent of $464,000, and on the
Northeastern to the amount of $260,-
000. The State is secured in each in-
instance by first liens., To set off
these liabilities the Slate has the fol
lowing property:
Western ana Atlantic Railroad, 138
miles—lease nine years to run—an-
ual rental $300,000. Macon and
Brunswick Railroad—195 miles—solid
for $1,125,000 of which about $700,-
000. is yet due. Bond-; of Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad $66,233 G2
South Georgia and Florida Railroad—
58 miles (contingent)—has never de
faulted in paying interest. Bank State
of Georgia—1,833 shares of no value.
Bank of Augusta—800 shares of no
value. 186 shares of Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company, $25,00U.
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad—10,000
shares—paij$l,000,000—(no market val
ue) Southern and Atlantic Telegraph
guaranteed by Western Union Tele
graph Company—440 shares—$10,000.
Public buildings not estimated.
There are fort)’-nine insurance com
panies that have deposited the $25,000
eacli with the Treasyrer, as required
by law, before doing business in the
State.’ The Treasurer estimates the
receipts for the year 1S83 at $1,361,-
317 14
All in all, this is a gratifying state
ment, and proves that Georgia, if liable
for large sums, is amply able to meet
them, and that her financial record,
already above par, will always remain
so under Democratic rule.
