It is announced that the great Indian

The end of tlie abolishment of the
branch camp in this county of Peni
tentiary Camp No. 2, and the removal
of the convicts from Col. Lockett’s
plantation to Fulton county, has not
been reached yet, if half that we hear
be true. Considerable of a racket may
grow out of it yet. Col. Lockett,
whose health has' been very bad for
several months past, has been con
fined to his bed ever since his convicts
were removed, and the News and
Advertiser lias not heard anything
directly from liim; but some of his
friends in this city predict that there
will be some lively developments as
soon as he is able to get out.
Last Monday was tlie anniversary
of General R. E. Lee’s birth. The
South is willing to trust its reputation
in the keeping of such men. He never
shunned the call of duty, and what he
did he did well. His private character
was above reproach, and his public
record was as bright as a star in the
firmament. He embodied all that is
grand and true in military character,
without any of tlie failings which have
stained the shields of many of his con
temporaries. All honor to tlie great
soldier that sleeps the sleep of tlie just.
The New York Sun seems to be au

tion. It is right to learn even from an
enemy, but it is utter madness to give

will. The position of the Sun on eco

by Democratic papers.

Some Southern men still play, occa
sionally, on the lone string of “Grant’s
magnanimity to South,” after Lee’s
surrender. It is a bit of gracious fic
tion, w*ith nothing real to rest upon.
Grant’s “magnanimity to tlie South”
was displayed in “bayonet rule” du
ring tlie two terms of his beastly oc
cupancy of the White House. But
maybe he was drunk.
The absurdest of all the strikes yet
entered upon is that of the Iowa Ad
ventists. They have quit work and
retired from the busy scenes of the
world in, anticipation of its speedy de
struction. They are Republicans, of
course; and, judging other people by
themselves, they can’t see any reason
why the world should be permitted to
exist any longer.
Some of the papers are still engaged
in the business of smearing the ne
groes with honeyed words, in order to
convince them that “the Democrats
are their best friends.” We are not
disposed to play the flunky, just yet,
in that absurd direction. As between
parties, the darky can just “pay his

The Democrats of the 48th Congress

It is a fearful commentary on the
character of Republican rule in the
United States that such men as Speer
and Farrow are allowed even to enter
tain hopes of filling the high and re
sponsible position of District Judge.
The ermine upon such shoulders would
be as much out of place as a jewel in a
swine’s gnout.
According to the annual report of
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington, the corn produced in the
United States, in 1884, amounted to
1.795.000. 000 bushels,- the wheat to
513.000. 000, and the oats to 583,000,-
000. This is a remarkably fine show
ing for the productiveness of the
country.
It is now generally believed that
Evarts will secure the Republican
nomination for Senator from New
York. If so, that will be the first de
feat of the long purse by the long head,
in Northern Senatorial elections, for
many years. Evarts is a man of large
intellect and insignificant conscience.
Senator Van Wyck is a long, sharp
thorn in the side of the prim, dudish
conventionalities of the Senate. He
has many of the characteristics of
John Randolph, and all that he lacks
of being a great man is in his not be-
iug a Democrat. He is the cleverest,
best Republican in the Senate.
It will cost the Government $1,500
to send for the delayed electoral re
turns of Oregon and Iowa. Had those
States cast their vote for Cleve
land and Hendricks there wouldn’t be
so much anxiety in the mattfer. But,
after all, the proceeding w*iU do the
Mulligan man no good.
If time were a matter of any conse
quence whatever to the United States
Senate, it would be impossible to esti
mate tlie calamity of Evarts’s election
to that hotly. Unfortunately, how
ever, neither time nor eternity seem*
to concern that awfully deliberate and
sadly august body.
Prime Minister Ferry has an
nounced with vehemence and particu
larity that France intends to conquer
aiid hold all of Tonquin, to the Chinese
boundary line. This indicates activity
iu military circles in France and very
likely points to a secret understanding
with Germany.
It is absurd to object to the French
Spoliation claims on account of their
age. Their very age is an element of
outrage. They ought to have been
paid generations ago. In failing to do
so, the Government has violated its
solemn treaty pledges to its own citi
zens.
Republican officials now maintain
tiiat President Jefferson was opposed
to removals from office except 'for'
“maleonduct.” They are recent con
verts to Jefferson’s views of public
policy. The sight of even a straw
raises tlie hopes of drowning men.
It required an extraordinary display
of vigor to enable a portion cf the
American navy to land a force at As-
pinwall, but it was done. Who shall
now say that the American navy is de
funct ? Billy Chaudler ought to he
serenaded. His fame is secure.
Protection papers are guilty of the
absurity of sppaking as if there would
be no “competition” to affect prices,
under a tariff* for revenue. But ab
surdity is their stock-in-trade. Prices
are lower in England than in the
United States.
It is surmised that Blaiue is at the
bottom of tlie bitter sectional wrangles
at Washington, but with little show of
reason. There is no need of going be
yond the Republican Senators and the
Sherman crank, to find the authors of
the devilment.
Lieut. Garlington has preferred
charges against General Hazen, Chief
of the Weather Bureau, and one of the
charges is “lying.” This is too bid.
Old Probs guilty of lying! It is a fear
ful blow to human credulity.
The English column for the relief of
Khartoum is making better progress

democratic why did, the Chicago con
vention fail to point out the fact? Pig
Iron Kelley is not good authority on

The Democrats of Georgia may

Riiinf off the Women in
Favor in College Point.
College Point, Lf'L, January 21.—
Great excitement has been caused in
College Point for the last few days be-
of an order issued by School
Trustee Joseph Strauss, that the chant
ing of the'.Lord’s prayer by the chil
dren of the public schools at the open
ing of the morning excercises be dis
continued. The order was issued be
cause Joseph Oppenheim, editor of the
local journal, complained of the cus
tom aud objected to his children being
compelled to join in singing. Oppen
heim is an atheist and Strauss is a He
brew. Mothers of the children, w*heu
ed at last meeting to communicate with
the Southern Express Company with
reference to the excessive charges of
said company in this city, made
a verbal report and was granted
farther time.
Aldermen Hobb6 and Gortatowsky,
of the committee appointed to select a
suitable lot for an academy building,
reported progress and the committee
was given farther time. From this the
discussion of the plan adopted by
Council at last meeting to raise a fund
for the erection of a school building
■Was brought about by Alderman Da
vis. He opposed the method or
scheme that had been adopted; thought
it unjust, and that it might lead to a
free school system that would involve
the city in heavy taxation. Alderman
Hobbs replied in support of the plan
adopted, and asked those who opposed
it to suggest something better. He
wanted a school house and was willing
to adopt any othor plan that might be
suggested, provided it could be shown
that it was a better one, or one that
would bear more uniformly upon those
to be benefitted by it, than the one al
ready under way. Alderman Gorta
towsky also spoke in support of the
present plan. Council had been'ham
mering at this thing long enough,' and
he was in favor of going ahead now
and doing .something.
Alderman Stephens, Chairman of
Street Committee, to whom the peti
tion of street hands asking for higher
wages was referred at last meeting, re
ported that the wages of the street
hands had been raised from 60 cents
per day to 75 cents per day. This ac
tion upon the part of the Committee
was confirmed by Council.
Upon motion of Alderman Hobbs the
Chairman of the Cemetery Committee
was authorized and instructed to em
ploy a surveyor to lay off the new part
of the cemetery into lots.
Alderman Gortatowsky reported a
bill amounting to $360.45 for caps and
belts for Eagle No. 2 and Lightning
Hook and Ladder companies. The bill
was ordered paid.
The bonds of the following city offi
cers for the ensuing year were read out
and approved: J. V. Smith, City Mar
shal, for $4,000; T. M. Tieknor, City
Treasurer, for $4,000; Y. C. Rust,
Clerk, for $1,000; C. Coffey, City Sex-
ton, for $500.
The bonds of the following retail li
quor dealers were read but and ap
proved : Kemp & Mock, Greer &
Floyed, L. T. Fields (2), Camp & Co.,
J. G. Stephens, S. F. Price, J. A.
Greer (2), M. Criue, Agt., J. Yentu-
lett. The following were referred for
correction: C. C. Moore & Co., W. W.
Hooks, Agt., R. Geeslin.
The following dray bonds were ap
proved: N. & A. F. Tift & Co., 4;
Mathews «fc Godwin, 1; M. D. Gorta
towsky, 5; Simon Thomas, 1; Moses
Malone, 1.
An application from J.W. Kemp, ac
companied by a petition of citizens for
his reinstatement on the police force
was read. The Mayor stated to Coun
cil that he had suspended Mr. Kemp,
and why he had done so. The action
of the Mayor was ratified by Council.
A motion to reinstate Mr. Kemp was
then made, hut was lost.
An election to fill the vacancy caused
by Mr. Kemp’s discharge was held,
and resulted in the election of Mr. J.
L. Richardson on first ballot.
A petition of citizens asking for an
extra night policeman or watchman
for the fire limits was read. Upon mo
tion of Alderman Hobbs,Council agreed
to employ a watchman, as requested
in the petition read, until the 1st of
April, and Mr. B. F. Sibley was duly
elected to fill said position.
The following resolution, by Aider-
man Hobbs, was adopted:

An Auburn lawyer’s little daughter
goes to Sabbath school aud is iu a class
with other little girls. Possibly the
Auburn legal luminary hasn’t allowed
for tlie sharp ears aud the bright eyes
of his little one as much as he might.
It was in a review last Sabbath in
her class. The teacher was going over
the good old story of King Solomon
and his wisdom.
“Now, dears, who. was the great
Queen who traveled so many miles and
miles to see this King?” Silence, pre
vailed in tlie class.
‘Why, you do know, all of you.
The Queen who came to see the King.”
The name had been forgotten by the
class.
In order to help them, the kind but
misguided teacher began to offer a lit
tle assistance: “You do know, I am
sure. The name began with S, and
she was a very great Queen.”
Just then up shot a little hand, and
out spoke the triumphant voice of the
little Auburn girl. She transfixed the
listening school-room with the follow
ing brief statement, in a clear, busi
ness-like voice: “I know, teacher; it
was the Queen of Spades.”
