ter has it.
THE ELECTIONS.
The government is still discussing
the the question how to Ute-ilize the
Indians. The best argument seems to
be after Ben Butler’s idea conceding
the Chinese.
The banks are going to entirely ig
nore that weak eight per cent, asuiy
law. If enforced, it will make it al
most impo ssible to borrow money in
Georgia.
The death of General Joe Hooker is
announced. It occurred Thursday after
noon at Garden City, Long Island. He
had been in nsnal health until within an
hour before his decease.
We always were reckless in any great
danger. When the pick-pocket alarm
was given the other night in Macon, we
remained as calm and fearless as if we
had keen in the charge at Balaklava,
Would it be treasonable in a little
country newspaper to rise in its place
and ask. wbat has become of the ‘‘Lirect
Trade” movement in which many of
our people took stock a few years ago?
It died a very quiet death it seems.
The Georgia Press colninn of the M
cou Telegraph is now edited by X. I. E.,
(otherwise by Mr. Harry S. Edwards, a
young journalist of brilliant promise.
Mr. Reese, on acounb of bad health,
has made his X, I. T. and gone on a sea
voyage.
Sir Stafford Northcote, replying to a
lrtter calling his attention to the popu
lar distress iu Ireland, states that he
sympathizes with the people, but can
only refer them to Irian Executive. He
adds that direct interposition by the
government would be open to great
ubuses.
Yesterday’s dispatches;report,tbat the
Democrats have elected all their State
officers in New.York except the.Gover-
noriby a majority-estimated at 30,000.
Gov. Robinson is defeated by Cornell
Republican, by a* plurality of abont
15,000. Kelley,j£tlie TammaDy candi
date for Governor goiabout 40,000 votes
in the City of New York, and a small
Tote only in the State..
The election returns are not full, but
republican gains are reported in Penn
sylvania.
In Massachusetts Butler is defeated
Long, Republican, beiDg elected Gov
ernor by abont 15,000 majority.
In Virginia the party favoring the
founding of the State debt is donbtless
elected OTer the scalers.
The Democrats carry Mississippi,
Zazoo goes Democratic.
Illinois goes Republican, of course,
bat not by* any nottblA increased ma
jority.
In Wiectnsin the Republicans make a
gain of some G,G00, electing their state
ticket.
- In Connecticut the Radicals again
get a majority in the. Legislature.
Nebraska goes Radical by 12,000 ma
jority.
Minnesota ditto.
New Jersey gives ' the Radicals con
trol of the Legislature again by a small
majority.
While Tuesday’s election will canse
the Democrats to expect a very bard
fight next year, the Radicals can by no
means expect to win the Presidency
without doiDg llieir best.
CAPTURING AN IRON CLAD,.
Considerable excitement- was caused on
the Liverpool Cotton Exchange Friday.
Most of the brokers who bud sold for
October delivery were unable to deliver
the staple, and were compelled to sub
mit to a farthing per pound penalty be
sides losing the difference iu price, in
many cases a penny per ponnd.
A Vienna dispatch is published in lbs
Paris journals, stating that Englaud has
sent an ultiman to the Porte deraandiug
the execution of reforms iu Asiatic Tur
key. If the demand is not complied
with, the Sultan will be desposed, and
replaced by bis brother, under the tu
telary supervision of England, France
and Austria. This report is probably
greatly exaggerated.
The yellow fever epidemic in Mem
phis was decided at an end on the 24th.
There was one new case, however, the
next day. There had been frost the
day before, and on that day there was
a thin coating of ice on pools of water,
A Steamboat arrived from St. LoniB,
the first that had been nt the whnr£
since July 24tb. The whole country
will rejoice that the terrible epidemic
is at end.
Full details of the capture of the Pe
ruvian iron clad Huascar have been re
ceived. It seems that the two Peruvi
an ships, Huascar and Union, went
south, and captured the Chillian
schooner Coquiinbo, On the morning
of the 6th of October, they learned of
an attempt to be made to land a strong
Chillian force at Iquique or seme other
point on the coast of Peru. Proceed
ing north to prevent this, they encoun
tered two divisions of the Chillian navy
and a fight began. The Union made
her esoape, and left the Hanscar to do
battle nloue against overwhelming odds,
After obstinate arid gallant resistance,
in which Admiral Gran was killed, the
Huascar surrendered. When the new
reached Lima, a subscription list was
opened for money with which to build
another gunboat to be called the Admi
ral Grau, and two hundred thousand
soles were subscribed the first day.
The capture of the Huascar has not had
the effect of dampening the arder of the
Peruvians. Great enthusiasm prevails
in Lima, and the determination is ex
pressed to fight it out to the end, either
until victory is secured or all is lost.
It is reported that the wife of Admiral
Grau was so overcome by the news of
his death that she died soon aflerxcm ds.
A Cabul dispatch reports that sixty
persons have been examined since the
trial of the mutineers began, and eleven
persons have been hanged for the mas
sacre of the British Embassy. The in
nocence of the Ameer is still far-from
clear.
The New York Unsays the foremost
Republican candidate for President at
present is General Grant; and his name
is already generally and openly associa
ted with the proposition to essentially
change and strengthen the Executive
Department of the government. It is
even unhesitatingly advised that the* of
fice of President shall be conferred on
General Grant for life, and that his son.
now Colonel Grant., shall succeed him.
Gen. Sherman has presented his an
nual report to theSsretary of War. • He
states that the army consists of 2,187
officers 24,262 enlisted men, and 888 re
tired offices. Of -this force 3,463 Pn -
listed men are detailed on special duty,
and the real combative force consists
of 11 Generals, 1,559 officers, 20,566
men and 233 Indian scouts. The Gen
eral thinks that under these circum
stances the army should not be held re
sponsible for the work of 25,000 men*
He wants the effective force of the
army raised to the latter figure, He
gives a history of the outbreak of the
Utes, and, as far as is known, of the
operations against the Apaches in New
Mexico. He also recommends the con
struction of fortifications on the North*
ern frontier, in view of possible troub-
es with Sitting Bull’s Indians.
At Toccoa last Friday afternoon, a
child about twelve days old was found
on a seat in the Air-Line train, which
left Atlanta at 3.-30 p. m. Its mother
could not be found. The conductor
Jeft the baby with a lady at Greenville.
It is ascertained that the mother got off
between Mount Airy and Toccoa, and
the little waif will be handed over to
her as soon as her whereabouts can be
ascertained.
The Denver Tribune does no give cre
dence to the story that the Ute hostili
ties had their origin in the ploughing
of a piece of ground by order of Agent
Meeker. Intimates that the diffcnlty
was precipitated by the sudden disap
pearance and supposed murder of an
old Chief named Colorow, who had or
dered a trespassing miner off his premi
ses. It is known that the miner got a
gun, and in company -vith others went
in search of the old chief, and that, the
latter has disappeared.

Bibth of the Nation.—Mr. R. H._
Eddy, of Boston, has sent a letter to
Mayor Prince, proposing that the city
lay out and’-dedicate a circular space at
the inter section of Commonwealth ave
nue and Westchester Park, to be used
as the site for a triumphal arch to com*,
memorate the birth of the nation. On
the third day of September, 1783, peace
between Great Britain and tho revolted
colonies was signed. Thus September
3, 1883, will be the centennial anniver
sary of of that act, and this, he thinks
would be an eminently proper occasion
for laying the comer stone of the pro
posed arch.
