We are in favor of the Grant boom.

Congkess convenes next Mondqy, The session will be entirely consumed in cutting didoes for political effect, and the good of tbe country will not be wor thy of the least consideration. A large box shipped on a railroad to Cleveland, Ohio, was found to contain a live man, a flask of whiskey, some sandwiches, and a kit of burglar’s tools. It is supposed that be intended to rob the express car. Thanksgiving.—By proclamation of his excellency, the Governor to-day is set apart as a day of thanksgiving and praise. We regret that such days are Dot much respected of late. It is a bad sign. Thebe is a set 'of men' in Georgia that would support Grant, Hayes, Ju das Iscariot or tbe Devil himself, it they only stood tbe thousandth part of a chance to get a tenth rate office under them; and yet these men call themselves Democrats; Bank Burned.—Last Saturday the barn of Mr. John Bowman of this County was bnfned, He lives near Echeoconee in the northern part of the county. It is supposed the burning was accidental, ns there is no reason tp sus pect incendiarism. DkAtH-ov an Octogenarian.—Laat Saturday Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson died at bet-home in Crawford County near the Houston line, aged 87. She was the widow of Nimrod Jackson, who died somG time ago at a very advanced nge. The report, of the commission investi gating the complicity of Ameer. Ynkoob Khan in the Cabnl massacre has been forwarded to the Viceroy of India. Nothing has transpired to alter th'e un favorable opinion heretofore current re garding his conduct. Thu government in Cuba has been officially informed of an attack on the insnrgent leader Gniblemon in Santiago de Cnba and the dispersion of his force. Lieutenant Busello and Captain Castil lo, both insurgent leaders, have surren dered. The insurgent bands in Santa Clara has nlso been dispersed. The report of United States Treasur er Gilfillau speaks of tbe year just pass ed as one characterized by great trans actions in connection with the refund ing of war loans, and tbe resumption of specie payments. It give? a fnll Statement of the condition of the Treas ury. and expresses the opinion that the recent rapid rise in silver will solve the liver problem in this country.

Mr. Davitt’s arrest has caused much agitation among the Irish population of Dundee, Scot land. As yet no disturbance has aris en, but a large number* of notices of ejectment have been applied for, and it is feared that if they nre executed 'trouble will ensne. The Women’s Anti-Liquor Mob at '.Fredrick town, Ojiio, was a Mealy affair. The bell of a Baptist ebureh was toll ed as a signal. Fifteen women, armed ■with hatchets, responded quickly. More •were expected, but their hearts failed them at the last moment The small but determined riotors went first to "Kel ley’s bar-room, which was the largest in the village. The proprietor hnd locked his door and fled. The hatchets were pfied -and an -entrance-quickly gamed. Then all the casks of liquor weie chopped open, tho bottles -broken and the furniture ruined. The next move ment was against O’Conner’s establish ment. O’Conner effected a compromise, by which he was allowed to put bis stock aboard a railroad car for shipment, biit hiBbottles were destroyed. After warn ing two druggists against continuing the sale of alcoholic chinks, the women gave three cheers jfer themselves, and dispersed, BOOT LICKING. There is in this country, and Georgia especially, a-spirit of toadyism cr sy eophanqy that is a supremely disgus ting to every manly, right-minded citi zen. Let a maD get a little notoriety, whether it be in the line of infamy dr that c f true her*ism, and at once there flocks around him a circle -of mincom poops and flatterers who deserve to be placed for safe keeping in the peni tentiary orasylnm, it is a small matter which. We respect a great man 1 , espec ially a good man, and we love to see him honored, bnt why can he not be treated with a quiet dignity, without flattery or undue self abasement. The country is so full of professional boot licks that onr talented men have all gotten to be lieve themselves almost superhuman. Look at Ben Hill, Stephens, -Toombs, Johnson, and a score of others we might name. They are in many re spects great men, bnt there has been cultivated in them a vein of self esteem: that has reached a degree of arrogance pride, and vanity, that ir quite mekJdra- roafic in the extreme, and detracts largely from their influence and useful ness. This is plainly seen in * not only politics, bnt in eclffisiastical affairs, and religionists get puffed up with a worldly pride, and bear themselves in a vain glorions .manner that ill becomes professed followers of the meek and lowly Jesus. This base sycophancy ex tends its homage to great criminals, es pccinllv to those that evade the just retribntion of the law. A few years ago all London went mad over Mabel Gray, a remarkably beantifnl, and desperately bad Woman > and lords, ladies and cler gy were In her train. In America great thieves and the worst murderers nre followed after and fawned upon Every petty politician Las a corps of clackers, be in tnrn echoes tbe Belf praise of some greater bnmbug. News papers descend from their i.oble calling, ftnd devote tlicir nclumns chiefly to tbe basest boot-licking and most disgusting timeserving. The Conn try needs an amendment in pnblic sentiment. The parasitic cling ing to leaders must be done away with. We must have more individuality, more general information, and indepen dence of thonght and action, in short, more manliness. The press should lead ofl in this re form. All exaggeration of the virtues or abilities cf men in local or personal mention should he avoided. Tho press should not condescend to pi iy stool- pigeon for nnv man. It sbonld not hes itate to criticise official misconduct, or expose the peccadiloes of those who assume, to be guides or leaders of tbe people. In a word the deceitful gloss sbonld be taken off of men. and they sbonld be esteemed for their true, honest worth Take the shine thrown around many of our prominent men by interested friends away, and they won Id stand be fore tbe people in more distressing me diocrity on account of the air of achieved greatness that they study to assnme.. Onr Rdvico to all men is—“be your own self,” never boot-lick any one, and never let your head be turned by flattery. HOUSTON SUPERIOR COURT- Court convened Monday at half past eleven o’clock, his honor Judge T. J. Simmons, presiding. The jurors were sworn in by Solicitor General Bartlett, and the grand jury, having selected J. T. Walker Esqr, as Foreman, were charged as usual. In the afternoon the case of Saulsbu- ry, Respess, & Do., vs. Jas. A. Spivey and Mr. C. N, Burnham was taken np from the Common Law Docket. This case consumed the balance of Monday and the greater part of Tuesday, when a verdict was rendered in favor of defen dants. *1 he Eqnity docket was then opened and the case of Nathan Bass, trustee, vs. D. F. Gunn, taken np, and a spe cial jury stricken from the Grand Jury empanneleJ to try it. This pnt an end to the principal work of tie Grand Jn ry for the present. This case consumed all day yesterday and is still going on. Both panels of traverse jurors were dis charged by Judge Simmons until to morrow. Six trne.biils had been’fonnd by the Grand Jury up to Tuesday evening. Fifty odd citizens of Fort Valley and vicinity will ba summoned befcie the Grand Jury to-morrow to investigate the lynching case. The attendance on this term of the court has been quitelarge. We will give aj full resume of the p rocee din gS next week. Apologetic.—We never hesitate to apologise for any injury The Hoke Journal may do an} one; and hence we regret to learn that it was the canse of C. M. DuPree Esqr., of Byron, getting a severe fall the other day. He bad been to the post office and returning home was impatient to see the county news and opened the paper. His animal got frightened at the rustling of the pa per and ran away: Seeing a large stamp in tbs way, Columbus jumped out of the buggy and was pretty severely bruited up. Just then the team dodged -the stump, ran about a mile and a half down the road, and stopped. We regret this the mors because Columbus is an appreciative, and unself ish, active friend of ourself and onr pa per. We hope it will not do so any more. ♦ uis P Devhatig.—Our people were mnch pie sid with the Globe Dramatic Com pany which performed three nights iu Cooks Hall last week.
