I WUi-n Mr. Campbell opened hi* I campaign it wav our privilege to hear | him at Columbus, Ohio, ai<d : theap- | peal that he made that night, urging , ni* people to turn a deaf ear to euch j -landers, and forget the Uiffeieuees os ;h«* past was the key note of his atrug j ^ie from one end ot the Slate to tin I other, and on this line he made the | aggressive campaign that covered bli ! op >onent with defeat. He came to Georgia a« the guest ol ; leading citizens of the Capital City. There he displayed the same magnani ; miiy that had marked his campaign i;. Ohio, and extracts from his utterance- are appended here, for they make mighty good reading. He said: “Thirty-five years ago there was a debate between Georgia and Ohio it. the halls of the House of Representa tives at Washington, upon the respec tive merits and results of free and slave labor. Alexander 11.

Louis D. Campbell, ot Ohio, repro duced the marvelous statistics of Ids State, and held up to the House and the country its imperishable record under the banner of freedom. The controversy was earnest, hut without acrimony, for the men were personal irjends, and yet you cAiinnt read that icbate to-day without seeiug between hat prophesy which was fulfilled six veins later, when one of the orators mme Vice-President of a new Con federacy, aud the other marched (gainst it at the head of his regiment.

[Applauso.J Why were we here in those tragic times, when death’s carnival made the world too ui.itous to love. It was not because we loved Georgia less, but the Uuiou mote. [Lomi applause.] “We me here in the fraternal embrace of men who fought us then as never men fought before, aud the valor and lot littide of these men will be the joint pride and heritage of the country North and South, b*cause Georgia has become the equal of Ohio and New York.

[Applause.] 1 love her banner w ith its sun-burst i and its garnered sheaf, but when I : turn irom it to that flag, it typifies, not Ohio oiilv. but all the states, when I i count her lorty-two stars and see that 1 the stur of Georgia is as bright, a® bt-H'itilill, as tix-rt iu its place as the -tars of Ohio or New York, [applause] then do greater emotions start unbid den, and the love of Ohio is swallowed in that infinite affection for the nation upon who®** perpetuity, integrity am! glory hang the joys and hopes of sev enty millions of people.

He j had looked upon the great diversified interests of this rich Southern country, I and he was being entertained in a j great metropolis built upon the ashes i* nnn j of the former site by the pluck and I*i .in tiv'umrntl i energy ot Southern men. He was be- I ing enteitained by live, progressive busy men, and he could hardly repress the remark: ♦•The star of empire may shift her our***.

The speaker wa® Lawman, of Dawson county. Always, hereioiore, in his eases in court, he has pasred by the name oi LaKayette Lawman, at least a dozen times in the court records he lias signed his oku name that way. Yesterday, however, he announced that his name was not LaFayette Law man, hut Peyton Monroe Lawman. He w as unable to explain how or wh> ids name appealed s*» often a® Lafay ette Lawman, but as tbe name was ,o wriLtfcii in the order releasing him from jail he waived his objections to tbe misname, and just to i»e certain about it he signed the name both wavs —“LaFayette Lawman or Peyton Monroe Lawman,” with a piolonged flourish at the end that might be taken as evidence that me signature was not obtained by threats, menaces or fraud. Lawman was released yesterday by au order Iron* Judge Newtuau. Tbe old mati’s sou, James M. Lawman, is to be tried to-day in Biiminghaui foi murder, and the father was released from jail here in order to be with hi® 6on during the trial. He left last night tor Birmingham. Lawman, the old man, was sen tenced November 6th for six months and $100. The unusually heavy sentence was imposed because Lawman is ai. old hand at the business, anti has been tried several times before for viola tions of the internal revenue law.

B**t it the question t*» be solved was what is the shortest space of lime in which, by the route taken, the journey could be made, supposing that trains and steam ships were arranged so as to carry the traveler at ordinary speed, without h>ss of time at connecting points, it can easily be shown that the journey can be accomplished iu less than sixty days 'The little traveler who has just tinislie-l the round In 72 1 4 d*)s lost over thirteen days by waiting tor connections, viz: one day in London, two in Ceylon, five in Hong Kong and five at Yokohama, and also lost at least one day by unusual delay in crossing the Pacific oeean.

Taylor, the colored politician, who was recently minister to Liberis and resigned, went into a restaurant here to-day and asked for coflee and pie. The proprietor told him that pie and coffee would cost him $1. Taylor replied that die price was all right, and the articles were placed beiore him. Afterwards he. walked up to the counter, took a handful of toothpicks, threw 10cents on the counter and said : “Now, , sue for the rest.” He walked out of the place be iore the astonished proprietor could reply.

The seeper ot the restaurant and I were strangers. I took a seat at the lunch counter, never dreaming that I would be refused. He said to me: “The foflee and pie will cost you $3.” The res*autant was crowded with persons, i number of w hom knew me—and that well—politically speaking. Said I to the restaurateur: “Give me the pie and coffee. 1 did not ask you about the price.” He did so. 1 satisfied my hunger. On the wall I could plaiu’y read his rate sheet. I paid him the price advertised (10 cent?), and as I walked out 1 re marked to him that he would have to sue tor the rest. . At this the crowd -oared with laughter. I would not have gone into the stingy and cheap- ooking restaurant if I hid known they !id not want colored customers.

From the New York Herald. He was a man of years, old,grizzled, | gray. He sat upon a striugpiece at pier 8, North river, dangling his rusty boots over the water and watching the eddies curl about his line as the tide played with bis hook and bait. The air was cold aud damp about him. Thestringpicce was cold and damp beneath him. But he was the picture of comfort none the less. An ancient pipe atalned black with nicotine warm ed his nose and radiated comfort thence over his entire system. Abe j mouth might be January to the rest ol i mankind, but it was June to him. “Any luck?” 1 asked, drawn to the lone angler by the cords of human sympathy. “Naw.” *le said.
