We are not cer tain that there is any such purpose, but it seems certainly advantageous to the one North Georgia candidate that there are several from more southern counties of the state, and that there are suggestions of others from other southern counties. If there be such a scheme, it is cer tainly good for the public that it is being tried thus early. With J. Pope Brown of Pulaski, J. H. Estill of Savannah, DuPont Guerry of Macon and J. M.

Col. J. H. Estill, editor and pro prietor of the Savannah Morning News, has announced himself a can didate for governor of Georgia.

In giving cheap excursions to va rious points of interest this year, the Central of Georgia Railway authori ties have earned the gratitude of thousands of people throughout the j state. assurance that the campaign would be full of good points, interesting and instructive to an unusual degree. Further, the presence of at least four candidates insures emphasis on more than one issue, making the contest broad and elevating, rather than narrow and personal. With many months to pass before the formal opening of the state cam paign, we rather expect some of the candidates to drop out of the r'ace, but be that as it may, the democrats will have ample opportunity to meas ure the merits of the candidates, and the choice will fall upon him who best stands the test. At this juncture the Home Joubnal is not ready to make definite choice, though for local reasons we are in clined to favor the candidacy of Hon. J. Pope Brown.

In his reply to the Admiral, Mr. Hackett still assumes that the I disobedience was a fact, but admits | that possibly Sohley “did not wilful-1 ly disobey” orders, or that he might have been “justified in disobeying] them,” and therefore refers his ob jections to the court.

He is at work | on the log books of the Spanish war, occupying for that purpose the office I of Secretary Long, which is other wise entirely unused during the ab sence of the Secretary. Nevertheless, Crowinshield restricts him to a small table in one corner of the room, re fuses to allow him to receive visitors, and has stationed two sentries to keep a close espionage on him to see that he abstracts nothing from the logs. Captain barker is a retired officer of the navy, and such treat ment was never resorfel to before when counsel for an officer' sought information from the files of the de partment. The valuable logs of the civil war period have been open to persons without the espionage of. of ficers acting as private detectives, and it is contended that in so im portant a case the honesty of the counsel should not be impugned by the scrutiny given his work through officers detailed by the department.' or a letter will bring YOU in. touch with them.
