C<»n-idehino that the Democratic Gnvernors-elect and the Democratic Congressmen have discussed thu re cent election results in a serious, dignified and patriotic minn-r, the New York Star ?s led to be lieve that our people at last have reached not ottly an era of good fueling, bet al-oan era of good sense. The army cost the countrj' jast year { something over $15.000000 This, al- I lows the Ciucinnulli Times Star, is . nbout a million dollars apiece for the fifteen Indians it is supposed to have killed. The Indians may look out next year—the cost will be over $20,- 000,000, and five or six more of them will have to bite the dust to keep up the proportion. It is said that. Frank James is treated like some honored gue>t. His apartments in prison are mag nificent, and Gov, Crittenden and the state house officials and prominent citizens visit him frequently and lis ten to his entere.-ting tables of adven ture. Tkere is hardly a doubt that he will be pardoned after his trial if he is convicted and some of his admi rers talk about running him for gov- ernor.

With respect to reform in the civil service of ihgteauntry.. 1 think lure has arrived when the people will nut submit to be bribed by their own money or their own offi ces. The abominable practice ol using the public offices of the govern ment and money enlorced from em ploye** necessary to conduce the pun- lie business iu order to carry elec tions must be repudated by the Democratic party. If that party will honestly advocate a reform of the tarifl*. reduction of internal reven ue civil service reform and the reduc tion of public • xpen-.es to the smai- le*t sum necessary to carry on the government, it will succeed. It should be its duty to sepmate as f«.r a*» possible the interest of individ uals and corporations from the af fairs of government, Going before the people with a determillation to bring back the . government to the economy, simplicity and parity u hich marked the earlier adminis tration of the Republic, it will be inveutible.

Of course these facts do not touch a small minority to whom money is no object; who wear under garments of spun silkorsi:k crape in ^Winter, ’and would consider the softest wool as too harsh to touch the skin.

Tiie event was not unexpected, but is none the less a -severe affliction upon his family and kiudred and a great loss to the com munity. He was stricken with para lysis in the early part of August, and lias since been confined to his home. Ue appeared to improve and strong hopes of his final recovery were enter tained, but some days ago he began to grow' worse and continuiMl to do so until the silver cord was severed. He was 55 years and 11 days old. The deceased was born in Chur, Switzer land, and came to America about |1845. Iu 1846 he served his adopted country in her war with Mexico. In 1854 he came to Thomasville mid engaged in the Confectioner’s business, which he has since continued. After-w getting this business well established he also en gaged in agriculture and fruit growing, both of which he successfully prose cuted up to the date of his death. To him is Thomas county largely indebted for the leading position she occupies iu the latter industry. — As a citizen he was conservative and useful; as a friend, faithful and true, and as a father, ever devoted and kind. He wili be sadly missed in every de partment of life! We regret that time and space will not permit us to give a more extended and fitting notice of his of his life and character. The remains were interred, beside those of his wife, in Laurel Hill ceme tery at J. p. m. on Tuesday.

Our little neighbor Opelika was the scene of another of those law less encounters that have become not infrequent in that hitherto quiet little town. A number of the citiz ens have become embroiled in feud that ever and anon bursts forth and blood is shed. At the last mu nicipal election there were two can didates tor mayor, Trammell and Dunbar. ' The latter was elected, but the old officials turned over the office to the Trammell party. Dan- bar finally through the courts enforced his rights, but ol course no good feeling remained be tween the i ivo praties. Last spring several of the Duubar police were shot by men who defied their au thoriiy. During the session of the circuit court which has just adjourned, a number of parties were indicted for carrying concealed weapons, which was attributed to the .opposite fac tion. This, with a liberal use of stimulants, stirred the passions of men, and the old feud was given new life^ Thursday night Mayor Dunbar went into a barber shop over Hud- man’s bar-room, and while there several shots were fired iu au ad joining room. Ue paid no atten tion to it but went home. Shortly *fter gun snots were heard on the street which continued at interval* during the night. Twenty-three pi-tnl balls lodged in the window ol Neal Hudmond’s bar room. The windows of the b »nk were fired into and broken. Dunbar’s bar-room wa-* also fired into and ihe various sii'ns of the stores bear marks of the testivc pistol. The firing was so ge irral that the quieter part of the citizeuship remained in doors and when they came out yesterday morn ing they learned that four men had been shot. After wandering about for half the night the party went to cities the house of Mr. H*rt, a policeman, • nd begap.firing into ib Mr. H*ri who was at home off duty, and with a douMe-bafrebd gnu returned the fire, which put the mob to flight and bcihinks he wonuded several. During the melee Jim Roberts, barkeeper for Neal Hudruoti, was shot—three buckshot striking him ; one in thigh, one in back and one in -boulder. Wounds serious but not thought to be dangerous.

Experience has shown that there is no more reckless jobber thau the Congressman whose successor is elected, and whose public caree awaits ihe certain limits set by the almauac and clock.

Many more wait in -idleness and want, hoping for something to turn up that will bring them a living, and not a few of th>s clxs* fall victims to the tempta tions with which city life abounds. The professions are full, and while there may be room at the top there are thousands who are In these pro fessions find little demand for their services. Still the institutions all over the country are turning out hundreds of young men who expect to enter into the various professions of the land. 'Many of them wil* spend whatever they may possess in endeavoring to tnaiutaiu the appear ance of prosperity without the means to accomplish it. Now all mis haste and effort to get into city life is wrong. There are thousands of examples to whom attention might be directed, showing the great mistake that our young men make in desiring to leave the quietness of country life lor the exritiug scenes of the city. The engineers of tho Garfield monument, are getting up a fair to be held iu the capitoi at Washington city, to commence November 25th, and continue until December 2rtl, to raise money for the monument.

The second annual meeting of the United Fire Underwriters iu Ameri ca, now In progress in this city, ought to engage general attention because it is one of the purposes of the organization to repress incen diarism and to otherwise protect in sured property lrom fire. The fire imtnrance companies now pay sixty cents of every dollar received by them to persons whose property they insure. If they can reduce the number and the destructiveness of fires, they will greatly increase their per cent, of profrs. People gen erally may care little whether insur ance rates are high enough to make underwriting profitable, but every body ought to care whether a*s much as possible is done to reduce the an nual fire loss. Fire now destroys about $80,000.000-a year in the Uni ted States, about one fifth of the amount falling to this Stale. If the underwriters now in council in this city will devise measures for the re duction of the annual fire loss, their plan will to heartily endorsed by the people. A QUICK OPERATION. Stocks Sold for a Vaslilngton Own er By HI* New York Agent In Six ty Seconds, Washington Republican. A Republican reporter was lean ing over the desk of the telegraph department of Bateman & Co’s. Banking House yesterday, idly look ing at the long line of figures denot ing the fluctuations in . stocks, which were being dotted down by the oper ator. Suddenly one of the firm, ap proaching the desk, gire the opera tor an order in a quick tone, and in the briefest space thereafter the op erator, turning to the gentleman, said: “Sold,82K-” The reporter’s cariosity being aroused, he asked the telegrapher what had transpired. . “A lot of 6tock has been sold." “How sold V’ The operator theD explained that a customer bad given an order to sell stocks; that the order had been telegraphed to New York; that the New York agent of the house had en tered the Stock Exchange, rushed past tbo. horns . ot. .“bulls’’ and through the paws of “bears” sold the stuck, and telegraphed baik the consummation of the sale. The reporter, looking at his watch, found that just sixty seconds of time had been consumed in the transac tion. In that brief period stocks had been sold by a seller residing in Washington, through an agent living in New York, to a purchaser living, perhaps, in San Francisco, or, for that matter, in St. Petersburg. Small-Pox at Chattanooga. Washington, November 20.—A telegram from Chattahooga to-day to the railway Mail Service Bureau, which indicated urgent need of an hospital room, was made public, and caused some easiness in the absense of explanation. It soon be came known, however that the Sec retary of War had received tele grams from Major H. -Clay Evans and others at Chattanooga, Tetra., asking permission to occupy a por tion of the barracks’ grounds there temporally for small-pox patients. Iu; .answer, the Secretary telegraph ed this afternoon to the Mayor of Chattanooga, saying that he 'had been advised by the Department Commander that such action would be an outrage on Mrs. McIntyre, the widow of Lieutenant McIntyre, who is residing there, and also open the Superintendent of the National Cemetery and his employes. In view of these (acts, he was compell ed to deny the request. ’ Chattanooga, November 20.— Rumors of disaster here are un founded. Ti.ey arose from an at tempt of the city authorities yester day to place the pest house on ' the United States reservation attached to the National Cemetery. The Su perintendent ordered the city au thorities off the.grounds, and said he would resist entrance by force ot arms. ' A # report reafched him that patients would be brought to the ground's, and he at once stationed armed guards around the place. No further trouble is looked for, as the authorities cannot act without permission from Washington. Pennsylvania's Gaa Well. WaihtasloertPM —— ■ The Metiugan well has been pur chased by a Pittsburg company for $8,000. The estimated cost of con- veying it to Pittsburg is put at near ly $700,000. The flame, at times, reaches a height of 100 feet, the im mense flow of gas coming up from the bowels of the earth, 2,247 feet below the surface. Mr. Crocker, So perintendent of the Niagara Oil com pany, says there is gas enough from the well, if utilized, to melt 100 tons ot iron per day. The boring at the well three miles from McGugan’s progresses finely. The drills are now at work at a depth ot 1,900 feet, with good prospects of oil in a short time. One well was abandoned after reaching a depth of over 1,000 feet. The second is the wonderful McGu gan gas well, referred to above, which also had to be left, owing to the immense flow of gas, which is nearly 2,500 feet below the surface. The third and last one is now being bored, and is already down 1,900 Yeet grofcssiuual (Canls. East' Tenn., Va. and Ga. N.Y Banker and Broker.

The Baltimore Journal of Commerce calls attention to the ( fart that the sale of government lands' in the- Southern States is assuming large proportions. Of the 8,650,219 acres sold in 1879 there were 481,174, or 5.6 per cent, of the whole, located in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, the only Southern States in which the government still owns lands. In 1880 the total sales amounted to 9,166,918 acres, 996,815 acres, or 10.9 per cent., being in the South. The total sales in 1831 reached 10,759,107 acres, of which 1,517,136. or 14.1 per cent., were in the States named. In the year ended June 30,1882, the total sales were 15,699,849 acres, and the sales in Southern States had increased to 1,355,764 acres, or 15 per cent, of the whole. In three rears the sales the South have increased nearly five fold. Part of these pur chases are doubtless speculative, but another and a large part are due to the large flow southward of people migrat ing from the North in recent years. Cook Book« In Politico.

Bos- ler, Republican, was elected State Senator. The friends of Wagner, the Democratic candidate, are at a loss to know how the result was af fected. It is explained that the Re publican committee had a number of cook books printed and sent one to the wife of every Democrat in the district, with the compliments o Mr. Jas. W. Bosler, Mr. Blaine's c uidi- date. The cook book proved to be a valuable campaign document, and elected Bosler. U. A. VASOV. A. H. ALFRIEN1. VASON & AJLFBJLEND Attorneys at Law. ALBANY, GA.
