Sfy m: A convention of Negroes was held in Atlanta the other day to memorial ise the Legislature on the aubjoot of ■wrongs to tliolr rnoe. They protested against their military being exoluded from the Htnte encampment, ns well as against the lynch law, and demanded drat class accomodations on the rail- ■roads when first class fares are charged. So far as IlitNtwo latter demands lire concerned an Investigation would ahow that the law is already on their Aide. Why all this clamor In certain Dem ocratic quarters for an extra seaslpn ,9f Congress! , ■ Scarcelyhad lt-b«en definitely set tled that the Democrats had scored a viotory In the national eleotlon on the 8th of November,- when a howl was set tip for an extra session of Congress to revise the tariff. Chief among those to first raise the ory for the extra session was the At lanta Constitution, a paper that has oceupied more poeitlons and Hopped oftener and more completely von the tariff since that Issue has been a lead ing factor In the politics of the coun try, than any other paper In the South, .f Georgia and the other Southern States had followed the lead of the Constitution a few years ago, we would all have been led Into the protective tariff fold, and the tariff reform for which, that journal la now so eager that it cannot await the regular order of Congressional sessions, would have been Impossible for many \ years to oome. The tariff reformers who are famil iar with the record that the Constitu tion has made for Itself, will do a little thinking for themselves before follow, ing its lead when It oomes to shaping the policy of the Democratic party wltlrreferenoe to the tariff. The people of the country have voted for a revision of the tariff, and they must have it at tho hands of the in. oomlng Democratic administration, but they have no right to expeot It tior can they reasonably hope to obtain It until tho Democratic Congress nssem. bles under the regular order of Con. grosslonal euccesslon. When the Demooratio party goes Into power it will find the trensury, which It left with a largo surplus eight years ago. now depleted. An extra session means more money than can be supplied from tho treasury. '.Still tho money ltocessary to defray tho extra expense will have to come, and when the Fifty-third Congress would moot In regular session it would be confronted with a money deficiency that would be nt once embarrassing. And then it is too early yet for even tho most devout tariff reformer to foresee the necessity for an extra ses sion of Congress for the sole purpose of revising tho tariff and increasing tho freo list. Much depends upon what Congress does between now and .lie Fourth of Marob. The Republican Senate may oonolude to take up the revenue reform blits passed by tha DemoorAtio House of Representatives and pass them out of respoot to the ex pressed will of the peoplo. Such a course upon the part of the Senate, even though It Is Republican, is not at all Improbable in view of the result of the reoent eleotlon, and It will be time enough to determine what course the new administration shall adopt after the Republican Senate, in the face of the expressed wishes of the people, has defined its oourse upon the tariff reform bills passed by the Democratlo House, IHspv I. deg*ted now, an. ir’ted once more, and turnmll of Polltioa has been i the coupiy'y has.'ret from the excitement political strife, to the customary rou tines of business vocations. Everyone of dburse Is thankful or should be, for the turn which affaire have taken, and indications bespeak a brighter future in the commercial activity of our (nation, than has been seen in years. In the midst of this promise of a prosperous future the successful party should go slowly about accomplishing the ends for which It has been put In power. A slow revolution gives op portunity for bringing the best means to the accomplishment of the ends In view, and fixes the ohange once made on a more firm and solid foundation. Of course the quloker good 'principles can be ppt intoeffeot the better for the people,but baste le never contin gent upon nor consistent with good and effective work. For this reason we depreoate the offorU on the part of some over-zealous Democratic organa to endeavor to shape the polloy for the new administration by urging upon the leader their reasons why an extra session of Congress is necessary. It is not a necessity. The change, to be an effective one, must be a grad ual one, that Is, reasonable time must be given to the consideration of the weighty questions which present themselves. The impetus given to activity in every section by the recent expression of publlo opinion Is notice able everywhere, and the general out look for a prosperous administration was never bettor than it is to-day. Democratlo principles will go Into effect, but let tho measures olmnging the present laws be wise and conserv ative. .

This seems a little previous ns the mensuro thus passed might be In nonfilot with. the law as passed by Congress latcr/on. \Yk haven’t yet seen the comet ■which is said to bo now visible in the heavens, but we hnve been reading a ■good deal about what the astronomers liavo to say about it, and if we thought it would do any good we’d be willing to carry nruuml n petition for“naiiy •citizens’’ to sign—of course they’d sign it—everybody signs petitions when asked—requesting the thing to •change its route. According to the astronomers, this now comet is headed for this globe, nnd is liable to come in contact with it very soon. The as tronomers claim, according to an arti cle that wo 'find in the Philadelphia Record, to have discovered from their observations tlint the head of the comet is pointed very accurately in tho di rection of this globe, but eonsolo us with the assertion that contact, if it •should ocour, would only be with the tail, and that It would be as bad for that appendage as George Stephenson .said it would bo for the “coo" that might encounter a locomotive. The late Biehard A. Proctor, however, held that the tjll of a comet docs not coin cide with the track which the head of the comet pursues in spaoe. The tail , which we see extends from the head in a direction exactly opposite, from the sun. This direction can never be the track of any obmet except in the case of one traveling directly, toward the sun; and no comet has ever been seen to traverse such a path In space. So, therefore, although there might be on November 28 a shower of meteors if the earth should pass through the track of the comet, it is not likely that the phenomenon would enable astrou- ers to explain more clearly or con- i mystery of comets’ tails. Meantime, nnd whatever the oourse of the present Senate may he with ref erence to tariff legislation, the ablest men In the Democratlo party will hnve nil they can do to bo rendy for a safe and judiolous revision of the tariff by the time the Fifty-third CSngress will assemble in regular session! Great changes arc to he made affecting largo business interests throughout the country, and these change? should be made ns gradually and equitably as possible, with due regard to the public good, without paralyzing any legiti mate branches of business. We are upon the eve of a revolution In the system of taxation nnd finance in this country. That is what tho change of the administration of affairs of the government for which the peo ple have voted means, if it means any thing in tho sense of political econo my, and if there ever was a time In the history of the Democratic party that called for. the exercise of caution and all tho oommon sense nnd wisdom that its nblest and best men enn bring to bear, that time is now. Tub Chilians nre rejoicing over Domoorntio viotory for one reason above all others, nnd tlmt is they will not again be Infiloled with Minister Patrick Eagan. Eagan says he will not return to Chill, ns he will only hnve time to go down and back before his successor is appointed, nnd Eagnn is right. Just before his departure,Thursday, for Helena, Chairman Cnrter said to n reporter: “I am going straight hack to Helena and go to practicing law, furnishing opinions, legal opinions of course, for 1 don’t suppose my politi cal opinions would bring me in inueli money just now." The exigencies of the campaign seem to have made quite a humorist of the gcninl chairman. le novel features are presented consideration of the actions .of - --“at ' ■• if ; » Hrtffloq session at Memphis; It Is tending, as a body, largely towards the ThliM Party Is no longer concealed, and. the disaffection brought 1 sbidt between aome of its leaders on this account may result In the entire dissolution of the Allianon as such. Those among the delegates who favored a nonpartisan organiza tion bolted the convention, and It Is said that they will enddavor to main tain the organization free from poli ties. The other aide will merge into the Third Party, and the spilt, Unless matters are straightened, will result in the loss of many members, both In the South and West, and the probabil ity is that It will not be long before the organization will cease to bb Na tional. The schedule of tho demands mnde by the convention tallies almost pre cisely with the Omaha platform,.whioh is oonolusive evidence that a large body, at least, from the Alliance has allied itself with the reform move ment; but there are numbers of stnnoh Ailipncemen who still maintain that r.he order should be held aloof from polltlos, and, while they may favor the platform to a large extent, the fact of tlielr refusal to Indorse the 'Third Party movement may result in the di vision of the National order, a part of it going to the Third Party, and the formation of a new Alliance move, ment, The fact is the Alllnnnc is losing its ground. So long ns it held aloof from politics It did well, but now the Al liance ns separate from polltlos is hardly conceivable. Polities and the reform movement broke the spell, and the mighty Samson has lost his power. THE NCHOOI. III!.I.. i»grilPS ^lOTORE. The Herald Is glad to reproduce the following strong endorsement of Col, Jesse JV. Walters, of this city, from the Thomasvllle TimCs-Enter- priso of this morning, and thanks the Tlmes-Enterprlse for it, besldus: Hon. Jesse W. Walters, of Albany, is a onndldate for dlstrlot attorney. It is said thnt several other gentlemen nre aspiring to tho same position, Mr. Walters is thoroughly qualified nnd equipped for the office. He is able, painstaking and conscientious iu the discharge of every duty. This Is, we believe, the first time Mr. Walters has ever asked anything at the hands of a Democratlo administration. Ho cer tainly ought to stand well with Cleve land, for he has been a most enthuslastio supporter of Grover. As Elector for tho Second dlstrlot, he made speeolies In every county in the dlstrlot, In some of them two or three. His unanswerable arguments, nnd zeal and fidelity in advocating the great oause, added largely to the sucqesB of the tloket in this district and In the State. Jesse Walters never goes nt anything in a half handed way. He went Into the late canvass early, nnd never, until the last ballot had been deposited on the evening or the 8th, did lie relax his energies or stop.work. There Is not a man In the district bet ter qualified to fill the position, ami his hosts of friends throughout this section hope to see him capture the prize. Don’t rush the office racket too fast. The offices will keep fur some time yet. Arizona nnd New Mexico may soon be ndmltted ns Stntes, which means four more Democratic Senators. Jno. Temple Gbavks is spoken of for Minister to Venezuela to take the place of Minister Soruggs. There’s $8,000 a year In it. Tub Atlanta Journal denies the re. port thnt there is to be a new morning paper in Atlanta under the manage ment of Hoke Smith. Inter-collegiate athletics has boenre-instituted at the State Univer sity. This is the best thing the Trus tees have done in sometime.' Is there not some way to prevent the selge which President-elect Clevo land will have to undergo frirni office- seekers after the 4th of March? Senator.Vkst, of Missouri, says the Democrats must move slowly and cau tiously in their reformation of the tariff. Senator Vest is a long-headed statesman. Texas people are putting thous ands of dollars into rain-making ex periments so far with very meagre re sults. A good many of the Texans still stick to water as a beverage. OcRtitnte is in rather a bad fix if part nf our Legislative session has been illegal. The mills of the judicial nnd executive departments may have to turn backward for a time,"and re grind some of the meal they have scat tered so broadcast. Rev Pkof. Smith, who is now being tried for heresy before the Presbytery of Cincinnati; for writing a pam phlet in which he stated tlmt the Bible is unreliable and unin spired, said in ins defence yesterday tlmt if all the charges against him ns given in the testimony coujd be sub stantiated, then lie should be declared guilty. This seems to be the senti ment of the Presbytery, too. The trial will be couoluded Monday. Thomas E.Sherman, while ad dressing the Society of the Army of Tennessee the other day, turned his remarks on the monument to his fattier which the family has ordered.but which is now in the hands of the strikers at Westerly, Conn. Among other things lie said whioh caused much excitement nnd elicited great applause was the following: “The family cannot even move oor father's tombstone from the spot where these workmen hold it en closed. They will not consent to let us have it moved and I only know one way to get it, and that jo organize one of his old regiments and go there and take it by force." ■ l-" ; ' 1 i IyJ • Wen Peter bed bis plctor’ took, W’en Peter bed ble i Inter’.

We present in unother column an interview with Senator Wooten upon the bill providing for a graded school systejn for Albany. As will be seen Senator Wooten is strongly in favor of the measure and has worked furjt for years,but having encountered some opposition to the measure, and it being one involving file question of taxation, he lias very rightly asked for a public expression of opinion iu regard to the measure. Albany should have the publlo sahool system. The friends of the measure should stance get ready this petititon, get on it the names of the majority of the tax payers, and then there will be no delay. Let tlie matter be taken in hand. Dispatches say that McComas, who has just been appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Co lumbia, will be strongly opposed by the Democrats. This Is a retaliatory measure. Four years ago as Mr. Cleve land was retiring from office A. E. Stevenson was .appointed by him to the samo position. On the principal that a life appointment ought not to be made by a president about to retire, Stevenson was not confirmed. Now the Demooratio Senntors will try to defeat MoComas. Well, revenge is sweet. The OKI Bnalleh Fiddler. I know not wliy nor cau I help re grottiiig that tho gprxl old English word “fiddler” should liavo utterly lost casto, nnd dragged down fiddle with it in its fall. There's no blinking tho fact that it lias been a name of scorn for full a hundred years. Thus, when poor 'Widow Tlirale choso to give her dead brewer a successor iu the person of tho highly estimable Signor Piozzi, all the world and his wife cried shame upon her for “wed ding a fiddler.” Hence we see that even in 1784 the word had already become what Jeremy Bentliam calls a “question begging appellation”—and of hang dog forge, But indeed the gallery wag’s, “Don’t waste him! Kill a fiddler with him!” addressed to the actor who had stage slain his man shows that “fiddler" had already nnughtto lose. Eutwhyl The old phrase, “Drank as n fiddler,” yields no explanation. It has its perfect match in the contemporary proverb, “Drunk os a lord,” which never low- ergd the peerago in any one’s esteem. Nor can wo fairly tako ns a type of his class tho fiddler mentioned in Cowper's letters. Thatwortliy, after fiddling all night at a tavorn hall, begged n bed. All beds full, he craved n shako down in the hay loft, lured tho guileless landlord thither, knocked him down and mado off with all his cosh. Eut oven if we assume that the whole tenor of this exceptional fiddler's lifo was base- only we won't ussmuo it, that’s fiat, and wo leave it to sharper wits to find the key to this fiddle riddle.— National Review. Di3CC8bixg the question of an extra session of Congress, the London Tjines says: “The eagerness of tlie defeated party to abrogate the McKinley law Is, in itself, sufficient to inspire the victors with caution. But there are better reasons for delay. A change from tlie most monstrous absurdities of McKinleyism to something like en durable tariff, will be slow and tenta tive, but it cannot be long postponed, nor can it be restricted within named bounds.” Great Professors of the Past. Among the most famous physi cians of the University of Alexandria were Cleombrotus, Herophilus and Erasistratus, and among the subor dinate physicians was Philosteph- anUB, who had charge of the natural history department of the museum and who wrote n book on fishes. Tho researches of the physicians were founded upon the only sure and certain basis of anatomy. They wore authorized by the royal authority of Ptolemy to resort to the dissection of the dead and to ascertain by that only trustworthy method the correct structure of the human body. They were also authorized to make vivi sections of criminals who had been condemned to death, in order that they might ascertain the mode in which the various functions of the body were performed. Among tho improvements in sur gery effected by this school of physi cians may be mentioned new opera tions for lithotomy, instruments for crushing calculi, for reducing dislo cations, etc.—Westminster Review. An Old English Custom. Miss Strickland ia good'enough to toll us that it was fonporly tho cus tom in England for married pooplo to keep the anniversaries 6f their weddirg day, and on those occasions as many small minc6 pies were placed in one dish on the table as corre sponded with the number of years that the husband had enjoyed con jugal felicity. In families where olive branches wore numerous this pleasant custom must have proved the sweetest of boons for the juve niles and their friends. We have grown too grand in these days for such modest mince pie anniversaries, which have been superseded by sil ver and sometimes by golden wed dings. Curiously enough, while plum porridge has entirely disappeared from our culinary economy, the preparation is still cited iu Amer ican cookory hooks, and the recipe, even to tho stoned prunes, is almost precisely identical with that given nearly 150 years ago by Mrs. Hannah CHosso.— London Telegraph. An Oild l'lnco for a Snake. John T. Thomas, a mino boss at the Northwest colliery at Simpson, hod an experience a fow days ago that is jvorthy of special montion from the fact that it is supposed to ho unprecedented in the history of mining. Ho was engaged in eating his dinner end wa3 seated fully 700 feet from tha mouth of the slope when he observed a long, slender oh ject wriggling along tho floor of the mine a short distance from him. Upon closer inspection it proved to he a garter snake such as is seen in the fields hereabouts frequently. It was twenty-two inches in length, and was immediately killed by the men whom Mr. Thomas had called to see this ordinary sight in such an ex traordinary place. Mr. Thomas has followed the vocation of a miner in this country and Wales for thirty- seven years. In the latter country he has seen eels in the mines which had been hatched from spawn brought there by the flooding of the underground works, but he has yet to hear of a similiar case of snake finding.—Carbondale (Pa.) Leader. Unlnfluwmablo Petroleum. Numerous processes figure in the patent list whereby it is claimed that petroleum can be rendered in explosive and also uninflammable.

'Arrangements are already being made for Mr. Cleveland’s inaugura tion next March. ; The Republicans are rather sore on Carter, the manager of their campaign during the light. It is charged tlmt he sent more money to Montana than he did to Illinois, in order to secure his election as Senator from that State. They are now rejoicing that the Montana Legislature is Demo cratic which means no Senatorsldp for Carter. The manager of an ill starred campaign has a thankless office to say the least. Brother Carter will have to try the soothing. effect of private life for a while as a restorative for his shattered nerves. Iemih& nf* Richmond count) has introduced a bill in the Legisla- fifr«loiinakd i dogs property and re. quirirtg tbemtb bfl given In by their owners for taxes, the same as other prOjferty. i * The bill Is An the right line and ought to pass and beoome a law. Such a law ia needed in Georgia, and no one feels the need of It more than those who own valuable doga. . ' ’ Why shouldn’t dogs be recognii&d as property and be taxed acoording to their value and reoeive the same pro. teotion that the laws of the State give to other property? There are thous- j ands of dogs In Georgil whose owners prize them above the value «f an' qr- j dinary horse. Many of them oust more money and would bring more on the market than an ordinary borae, and their owners would gladly pay taxes on them in order that theg might be reoognlzed as property ad have the protection of the law. Bill after bill has been Introduce) in the Geurgia Legislature, to make I dogs property or to subject them 1 to taxation the same ns other property, | but evej'y time such a bill is Intro- dticed it is sneered at and treated as a i sort of chestnut or Joke. Sensible peo ple must be at a loss to know why this is so, yet the fate of every “dog law" introduced in our Legislature since | the war shows It to be true. If the Legislature will do no more, I it might agree.upon a bill allownigl the owners of dogs to make propWty I of them by returning them for taxes, I the same as other property, and thus [ under the protection of the State. The sportsman who pays $50 or $100 for a l blooded hound or a trained-bird dogl thinks more of him, perhaps, than ] of any other property he.may own of j alike value, and it is nothlnghutright that he should be allowed to place the | dog on nn equality with hisflfty-dol4 cow or his hundred-dollnr horse so t 1 as the Inw’s protection of property^ concerned, provided he is willing tpT pay the tax. . j ■ William Henry Harrison, in 1840, carried Elbert oounty in this State by 909 majority. In 1802 Benjamin Har. rlson lost it by the same majority—099 Democratic papers are united upon the fact tlmt one of the first duties of the new administration is to swe; away all forms of the pernicious fori place them of the laws bill. It is strange how newspaper corres pondents oan figure out the ^whole,' I policy of an administration four! months before that administratipD| goes in to power.

A Philadelphia spiritual medium, for instance, advertises tb«tj she will “reveal the name of your fu ture husband or wife, cure corns and' warts, restore missing lovel-s or sweet hearts, cause hair to crop out thickly on bald bends, and give sure tips on the races.” This “lays it over” any*! our Southern Negro voodoo doctoW and conjurers. “The arrest of R.
