•‘The old ticket’’ seems to be quiet
ly gaining strength. It is claimed by
those who favor this ticket that Til-

as representatives of the choice of the
people, once undeniably expressed'at

“Chatham’’ writes the following
from Atlanta to the Savannah Hews:
“It will not be necessary to allude to

shows ample evidence that Chicago
has a lively rival in this business.

Not Presidential Candidates.
Edmunds, Blaine and Sherman, three
of the principal leaders of the Repub
lican party, have declared that they
are not presidential candidates. The
declarations of these leaders in-pired
the New York Sun tc remark: “The
field, therefore, is unusually clear
for new comers. It has been cleared
by no morality among the leading
candidates of four years ago, but by
the operation of moral forces not fre
quently encountered in politics. Mr.
Sherman desires to preserve his faith
in human nature, Mr. Blaine is anx
ious to bring liis history down to the
epoch of the Spencer rifle contracts
and the dramatic Mulligan incident,
and Mr. Edmunds objects on general
principles to being president of any
thing.” Among the new comers, it
might be remarked, is Postmaster-
General Gresham, who has sprung to
the frout wi:h amazing rapidity, and
who, if Arthur is not in his way, will
grow stronger as the meeting of the
convention approaches. His determi
nation to administer his office on
business principles has attracted at
tention.
Tuesday’s Elections.
The returns from Tuesday’s elec
tions that have . reached us by mail
are very meagre, but they clearly
indicate that.the Republicans carried
New York, while Ben Butler has been
defeated in Massachusetts, and Ma-
honeism has received a death blow
Viiginia. New Jersey has elected a
Democratic Governor, but the Legisla
ture is in doubt
While Ben Butler was the nominee
of che Democratic party of Massachu
setts, nobody in the South will be
sorry to hear ot his defeat. If he had
been elected he would have tried to
thrust himself upon the Democracy as
a Presidential candidate next year.
The result in New York will be a
great disappointment to Democrats
everywhere, but the news from old
Virginia overbalances it on the other
side. Mahoneism, which has been
used by the Republican administra
tion as an entering wedge to split the
Solid South, has been buried, and the
people of the South rejoice to-day over
the redemption of the Old Dominion.
Rich in Resources.
The New York Herald sajs: “The
Sjuth has always been one of the
richest spo's of the earth in resources.
It was a long time one of the poorest
in development In its rare advan
tages of K>ii and climate it has the re
sources and the means of a great na
tional wealth and prosperity. It has
the cotton field of the world within
its border?, and all of tbe natural ad
vantages for manufacturing this great
staple. It baa the cordition of soil
and climate for the extensive prodne-
tion of sugar, molasses, rice, tobacco,
tropical fruits and general farm crops.
It has valuable forests and rich min
erals, an abundance of fuel and water
power, advantages for 6tock raising
and grape culture. In short, it has
exceptional resources for advaucing
to a foremost place lit agriculture,
manufactures and commerce ”
Nearly every farmer you meet will
tell you that the planting of cotton is
becoming unremunerative. This is
certainly a strong argument in favor
of a more diversified system of agri
culture in the “Cotton Belt oi South
west Georgia. Some of our farmers
have commenced to experiment on a
small and safe scale with new crops,
and the farther these experiment* are
carried the more is an early abandon
ment ot the all-cotton policy in this
section at an early day made sure.
The Chicago Tribune's plan for
governing Utah is to pul the territory
under exclusive federal control, dis
franchising the people for the present,
require the validity of marriages
henceforth to be attested by public
records, and compel the education of
children in schools established by ike
federal authority. At present the
schools are in the hands of Mormon
priests, who are building up a tempo
ral and politcal sovereignty under the
cover of religions liberty.
As Congress will have little to do
during the coming winter besides
president-making it might find time
to serve the public by doing something
to safeguard the electonal count.
Since the deposition of Tilden by a
single vote, this subject has present
ed extraordinary claims to its consid
eration, but it has done very little to
wards intelligent and 6afe action.
The opportunities for tbe exercise of
political juggling make the present
plan decidedly unsafe, and it is the
duty of Congress to interpose all the
safeguards possible against another
ential crisis. The question is
cue.
The Charleston Hews' suggestion
that the chairmen of the several Dem
ocratic committees be invited to a
conference with the national commit
tee is an excellent one. The town and
city committee should consult oftener
with the national committee.. If this
plan should be adopted the Democrats
of the country would have an organi
zation worthy of the name, and one
that would prove invincible in a great
national struggle. At all events, the
chairmen of the State committees
should meet the national cominitte and
exchange views and map out the work
of the campaign of 1884. Why would
it not be a good idea for the national
committee to invite the chairmen of
the State committees to meet them on
the 22nd of February, at which time
the first mentioned body will hit sold
next meeting?—Boston Post.
The “Top Crop.”
It was stated in these columns last
week that the prospects for ao unex
ceptional top crop of cotton in this
region were very encouraging. At
that time the most favorable reports
were reaching us from the country,
and we predicted that the receipts of
cotton fn this city would be iucre&sed
above the most liberal estimates that
had been made a few weeks before.
That top crop boom has come to
grief, however. The recent heavy
frosts have killed the plant, and the
bolls that promised well a week or
ten days ago are now withered and
dead. Any one who will take a drive
through the conntry can see at a
glance that all prospects of a top crop
have been nipped in the bud by Jack
Frost.
The story that beer is surcharged
with magnesia has besn set afloat and
sent traveling around the world. It
is alleged that sails of lime and the
alkalies formerly used for preserving
beer have been found to impart a
harsh and siapy taste; and as mag
nesian compounds, while an excellent
preservative, cannot be detected, they
have been adopted. All these so-call
ed discoveries will not affect the ap
petite of the l<»ver of malt. There are
men now gray whose punctuality in
quaffing a glass or two of this bever
age has never yaried since they can
recollect, and together with others not
so old, they will in all candor admit
that the argument to induce them to
give up beer must be a powerful one
indeed.
went on for hours.
THE RESULT IK NEW TO BE
Albaky,Noy. 7.—On the returns re
ceived up to 10 o’clock this morning,
the Evening Journal claims Carr’s
election by 13,000 majority, and says
there is a strong probability of Sex
ton’s election and a possibility of Dav.
enport’s and Russell’s. The Legisla
ture, it claims, is surely Republican in
both branches..
New York, Nov. 7.—If the vote
equals that of 1881 more than two-
thirds of the State heard from, includ
ing New York and Brooklyn, if the
present proportion holds on the re
turns to be received from the State
districts not yet heard from, Maynard
will make a net gain in the State over
the vote of 1881 of about 55.000. This
set against his net loss in New York
and Brooklyn will make Carr’s majori
ty in the State not less than 10,000.
The Republicans claim more, while
the Democrats concede less.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Boston, November 7.—General But
ler has refused to be interviewed and
will make no statements concerning
his defeat, which he accepts com
placently, although he acknowledges
that it was unexpected. Returns in
this State are complete, with the ex
ception of one town. Robinson’s total
vote is 160,161; Butler’s total vote is
150,074; Almy r s vote is 1,553. Robin
son’s majority over Butler is 10,000.
NEW JERSEY.
Jersey City, November 7.—The
Democratic State Committee claim
the election of Abbett by 700, and
also the assembly. The Republican
Committee concedes tbe election of
Abbett.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, November 7.—Returns
from a number of counties are still
incomplete, but sufficient has been re
ceived to insure the election of tbe
entire State Democratic tickets. Both
branches of the Legislature are Demo
cratic.
MISSISSIPPI.
Jackson, November 7.—In the Leg
islature and county elections yester
day there was no opposition to the
regular Democratic ticket, except in a
few counties where the Republicans
and Democrats combined on a Fusion
ticket against the Independents, Chal-
iner’s faction. Returns come in slow
ly, but there is no doubt of the suc
cess of the regular Democratic and
Fusion Tickets.
1TBHIS OF INTEREST.
How the fciajje Struck Girl
Traced and Recovered.
Indianarolis, lntl., Nov. 0.—The
identity of Mary Churchill was fully es
tablished when her father. Colonel
Churchill, of St. Loots, arrived upon
the scene, and there was a meeting be
tween the two, with no witnesses.
During conversations had to-dav with
representatives of the press anti of the
officials of the insane asylum she abso-
1 u tely refused to touch upon the reasons
why she left home, but she vehemently
denied that she had any attachment of
the heart or was stage-struck. As the
result of her meeting with her father
she consented to accompany him upon
a visit home, conditioned that she be
permitted to return and resume her em
ployment at the insane asylum. Su
perintendent Fletcher, since the first
acquaintance under the name of Fannie
Lockwood, has been warmly interested
in her behalf. When Miss Churchill
presented herself at the asylum and was
assigned to duly in the ironig depart
ment she had with her a copy of the
“Life of Marie Antoinette,” and in her ,
leisure hours persued a severe course of j
reading, prefering classical works, and i
books in Grecian mythology to subjects
of easier digestion. It was soon dis
covered that she was an adept in piano
practice, and these two characteristics
gave the Superintendent the first sus
picions that in the person of Miss Lock-
wood he was sheltering the long sought
Miss Churchill.- Her deportment was
chaste in every respect, and she appears
to have chosen her associates with scru
pulous care. This evening when asked
perhaps the fiftieth for time why she
left home, she replied that she did so n
order to make her own living, and it
was her determination to continue self-
supporting in the future. During her
stay in the asylum she asked permis
sion to take lessons in elocution, but
was refused by the superintendent who
doubted the wisdom of the undertaking.
One of her associates reported to night
that she had succeeded in saving $30 for
that purpose,*and it is given out that
the only serious differences between
her and her mother were* from this de
sire upon her part to become an elocu
tionist. It strikes the average reporter,
however, that she is excentric and with
a will of her own. and that once con
ceiving a notion to be self-supporting,
the mysterious disappearances with
which St. Louis abounds gave her the
cue to throw about herself the romance
of secrecy. With this love for mystery
she evidently had little thought for the
anguish of a mother or the grief of a
loving circle, for it is difficult to other
wise account for her seeming indiffer
ence until driven to bay by the indig
nant eyes of the press. Now that Col.
Churchill has withdrawn all objections
to her motives for self-support, it is safe
to predict that she will soon be found
to be a tractable daughter, and as wil
ling to stay at home :is the average
fourteen-)'ear-old hoy who runs away,
but is glad to get back when lie finds
no one is after him.

The Times-Democrat, in regarding
the Woild’s Exposition to be given at
New Orleans next year,says: “Enough
is known to assure the people of all
the States that the main hall will be
in area as large, if not larger, than the
Cenieunial building at Philadelphia
in 1876, and the grounds will afford
more space for ornamental works and
other structures.” The Exposition
will not be confined to cotton and
cotton machinery, but will, it is hoped,
embrace commodities from all conti
nents. South America and mexico
have already taken the matter in hand,
and their collections are expected to
form a very interesting-feature.
If tlic Congress of Women which
met in its eleventh annual session last
week in Chicago could have Its way,
black mourning dresses would be
seen no more. The employment of
black as a color for lr ourniug was
condemned by the congress, and a
resolution adopted declaring that a
custom which surrounded death with
gloom, and which expressed hope
lessness and despair, should be aban
doned. The custom is so deeply root
ed in the minds of Christian people,
however, that it will require many
resolutions and congresses to abolish
it.
The Illinois negroes don’t propose
to stick by the Republican party in the
future. Thejr estimate? that they have
20,000 voters in that State—enough
to throw the election either way. At
a representative negro convention in
Springfield, the capital, last Wednes
nesdav, resolutions were passed de
nouncing the bosses of the Republican
party and advising the negroes of the
State to vote only for those who prom
ised to do most for their race, whether
Democrat or Republican. The negro
vote cannot any longer be counted on
as solid Republican.
From the following, which we find
in the Camilla Clarion., it seems that
they do not have to go very deep down
into the ground when they want an
artesian well in Colquitt county: “We
had a cal! the other day by Mr. J. J.
Blackburn, of Colquitt county, who
informs us that Mr, John Clewis, on
Mr. Moab Gregory’s place, dug a well
about six feet deep and struck such a
bold stream of water that it runs oyer
at tbe top with an inexhaustible sup-
ply. Hurrah for Colquitt.”
It is rumored that Col. W. A. Huff,
formerly Mayor of Macon and pres
ent proprietor of the Markham House,
Atlanta, will be put up to contest the
.Sixth Congressional district with Col.
Blount. This will not suit the Macon
Telegraph, we imagine, for it has
about as rnnch use for Huff as it hAS
for Blount, and couldn’t fight the latter
without helping the former. If the
race is made betweeu Huff and Blount
it will be the liveliest one the Sixth
district has ever had, for they are both
shrewd, active and fulljof metal.
TJie Growing Fame oi the South.
The Memphis Appeal says: “The
degree of prosperity that exists at the
South, the activity, energy and enter
prise that is manifested by its people,
and the extent and variety of the re
sources as developed by research and
industry, are attracting attention, not
only in the North in our own country,
but are iuducing European capitalists
to invest in our lands. The South is
like one of those figures in some of
the children’s toys which lie in the
box out of sight until the obstacle
that held it down is touched, then an
interior spring comes into action and
the figure starts up, exhibiting its full
dimensions. A labor system that was
a bar to advancement, and opposed
change, kept the energies and resour
ces of the South concealed. The ob
stacle was removed, the spring and
earnestness of the people allowed full
play, and up rises the South, its popu
lation, its soil, and its mines into full
display, and now it is everywhere atr-
traeting attention, winning good will,
and securing progress and prosperity.
The /hole change is a revelation to
the world, and the South is obtaining;
a degree of admiration and regarcJ
never before accorded to it. Its title
to these sentiments has just been fine
ly vindicated by lire New Orleans
Times-Democrat. That paper, observing
with what remarkable speed the South
has pushed forward its advantages
since the last census was taken, and
how much its development had been
accelerated by the influences aroused
by the Atlanta Exposition, and by the
signal success that has attended its
cotton factories, has with great industry
collected authentic statistics, showing
the progress that has been made since
the census-takers made their investi
gation. In sixtj ? closely printed col
umns it has displayed facts and fig
ures obtained from the Governors and
other officials of Southern States, de
picting its present industrial condi
tion. This statement is attracting
wide attention.

Tbe National Debt.
During October more than $10,000,-
000 of the nationaldebt was extinguish
ed, making the total reduction for the
fiscal year thus far almost $40,000,000.
The decrease for the month last year
was $14,000,000, and for the same por
tion of the fiscal year $60,000,000. It
wiU be seen that, although the decrease
is very large, it is not nearly so great
as that of last year. Still, the surplus
is growing, and the probability is that
tire Secretary of the Treasury will con

bonds until next July. By that time
Congress may pass an act reducing or
repealing the internal revenue system,
which will wipe out a considerable
part ot the surplus, and so limit the
debt reduction to a few* millions per

Danger of a Split.
There is reported danger of a split in
the Grand Lodge of Masonry in the
United States. It appears that the
Grand Lodge of Massachusetts has so
altered its constitution as to forbid
Masonic intercourse, by the Masons ot
that jurisdiction, with any person who
directly recognizes as Masonic any
body claimed to be Masonic except
such as have already been indorsed by
that Grand Lodge. Persons, who say
they know, assert that this is likely to
cause trouble, because it is considered
an attempt to employ the concentrated
power of the Blue Lodge organization
in Massachusetts to support the claims
of a higher degree bodv and divide the
huul. Theelumge is much deplored
by scund-thiuking Masous, and every
~ is being made to counteract all

The New* York Sun speaks of a girl
who can open a quart of oysters in
four iniuutes, and Gns DeSmith, with
a far away financial expression, says
he knows another girl who can eat
them in three minutes and a-lm!f by a
stop watch.
Some friend of mankind has invent
ed a bed room alarm, by which the
clerk in the office can wake a guest at
any hour, without sending a stalwart
porter to alarm the entire hall. This
is one of the inventions for which men
havj been sighing these many years.
A coup’c of pickpockets followed a
gentleman for some blocks, with a
view of availing themselves of the
first opportunity to relieve him of his
purse. He suddenly turned into a
lawyer’s office. “What shall we do
now ?” asked one. “Wait for the law
yer,” said the other.
An attentive observer who lias re
sided many years In Washington, has
recently expressed the opinion that,
great as has been the harm done in
that city by indulgence in intoxicating
drinks, he is convinced that still more
has been done by card-playing for
money.
To clean black silk in a simple way,
brush the silk thoroughly and wipe
with a cloth. Then stretch flat on a
table and sponge with hot coffee that
has been strained through muslin, on
the side intended to show. When it is
partially dry, iron on the wrong side.
This will restore the brilliancy of the
silk and give it a thickened appear
ance.
The funds collected for the erection
of a monument to General Lee in Rich
mond now* amount to about $35,000.
It is suggested that the corner-stone
should be laid next October, and that
the ceremonial should be rendered
memorable by a reunion of the Army
of Northern ’Virginia and by a ball at
w hich tbe men should wear the Con
federate uniform and the women
dresses appropriate to the sentiment of
the occasion. -
The total number of tobacco rebate
claims filed with the Internal Revenue
Commissioner is 47,000, the aggregate
sum asked being $3,^00,000. The value
of the claims disallowed has been about
$300,000. Congress wilLhave to make
an appreciation before any of the ad
judicated claims can be paid. The de
crement has not yet decided whether
t will recommend that the claims shall
be paid through the respretivc Internal
Revenue Collectors or from Washing

This is a baby. It is a girl baby.
How* sloppy its chin is! now red its
eyes! What horrid contortions it makes
with its lace! See how* savagely it

demon it yells! Yet in a few short
years some man will be halt-crazed
with wild suspense, worshiping the
very air this being breathes, devoutly
kneeling at her feet and frantically
begging for one word, one pressure of
the hand, even a look which will give
him hope. Such is life!
