Bartow County -eerns hsrd to
satisfy. About two years ago the
County established a County
Court. A judge and solicitor were j
appointed but they do not appear
to have given satisfaction. At
this session the county court was
abolished in order to got rid of
their officers and a city court css
tablished with jurisdiction over
the county. A mere change of
name but legislating out of office
the incumbents, It is now sougbt
to take the appointing power out
of the hand t of the Governor and
let the peole select their own of
ficers. Delegates from that coun
ty are daily in Atlanta tomanipu •
late the wires.
The present House of Represent
atives has more blatent demas
gogues than any Legislature that
nas assembled since Bullock's day.
While there nro a great many good
men there, who are willing to vote
and work ior the best iuferest of
the State, there has unfortunately
crepi into the body a gang of flera
agogues who have obstructed busi
ness by their ’ireless gab, and
who on every measure have sought
to patder to the passions and prej
inlices of the ignorant. Such men
should be market! and allowed to
slide down to their proper level.
And if we look back to tho ante
cedents of these men, in nearly
every instance they have either
betrayed their people in the hour
of trial or have been mixed up
with Republicanism. I'hej do
not represent the Democracy or
the intelligence and worth of the
Sta;e. And the only surprise is
that they should have any Influ
ence in shying the li delation of
that body A lew such men can
do immense harm. Iliey ar a
communist at heart and are never
happier than when clogging the
wheels of progress are attempting
to stir up strife among the peple.
THE MACON TELEGRAPH.
As the negro said of .Lie ruuis
that had suddenly dumped him in
the road, we always did “spise,” a
long name for a man or a news
paper. The Telegraph & Messea
gen came out on the first instant
with an entire ne»v dress an<
looks as neat and handsome as a
“sweet girl graduate.” Among
other improvements it drops the
Messenger part of its title and is
now the “Daily Telegraph.”
Under the business manage"
men of Mr. Z/ausou and the able
editoral work of Col. Lamar and
his associates the Telegraph is noi
only prospering financially but is
a political powei in the State.
THE NEGROES OF VIRGINIA
The most sensible thing we
have seen from the colored people
since ehe war, comes from a negro
convention in Lynchour/; Va,
These people under tuehalluciua*
tion that it was to their interest
to side with the Republicans in
all political contests and to vote
against tile peop/e upon whom
they depend fsr employment, edu
cation and protection, For twon~
ty y mrs they have been the blind
tools in the hands of aspiring pol
iticians, who kicked them off like
a scuvy dog as soon as they Could
no longer be made useful.
Jn the address of this conven
tion among another other sensible
things, they say “Boleiviug that
the time has come for us to call a
halt on tne unquestioning support
we have given the Republican
parly, do here in convention as
sembled, solemnly declare our
selves politically independent in
all matters which pertain to us as
citizens.” * * *
“We therefore appeal to the
colored people of our native state
to look well tot.be tiltered condi
tion of affairs, and in the future to
make such political alliancies as
will most advance our interest
educationally, financially and po
litically- We feel snre there is a
general disposition on the pari of
the white people to accord us all
our rightsbefore the law and to
meet us heartily on every advance
we make foa upholding our peo

When the coiored people of the
South understand and act on tLis
: principle, tj/en and not till then,
will they occupy that positi u
which their numbers give them
power to attain in the affairs of
j the country.
HARRISON OF QUITMAN.
One of tlie best members of the
present Legislature is the Hon.
W. 11. //arrison, of Quitman.
Ho is a well poised man, of good
judgement. .‘>n experienced legisla
tor and a bold, clear headed thith
er. Asa debator he is empass
ioned and emphatic, stucking
sledge hammer blows. If he has
anyth ng to say, he sa>s it amt
Lheu takes his seat.
There is no demagogue about
him. He studies a question care
fully and arrives at an honest con
elusion, and does not hesitate to
strike square from ihe shoulder
sot the riaht, whether he is on the
popular or unpopular side. Hs
is not o.e c f these time sorvi-*g
political non-entities, who first
count noses and 'hen blusters
around a« though he was a real
leader.
In discussing the Rail lined
Commission bill last week, 1 >i.
Felton made one of his character
istic speeches, The constitution
gives the following report, of Har
rison’s reply:
Mr. Harrison, of Quit.mni , we t
for the doctor after this fashion ;
“I have never 'intoned before,
ant I never expect to age in, listen
to anything that compares in its
Satanic results if 1 understand
them to what wo have listened to
for the last hour! Never U-t re
have I listened to tiny mail in tnis
state, who, as far as I was able to
judge, had but a single purpose,
and that to array the capitol and
the labor of Georgia agaibst each
other."
The house fairly shook with ap
plause, and die evcitement was in
tense. A hundred men were on
their feet and five hundred yelled,
shouted and stamped the lloor and
pounded the desks. It. was some
time before order ooufii be re
stored, and when the uproar had
bten somewhat quelled Mr. Har
rison proceeded:
“Shades of Dennis Kearny *n
the sand lots of San Francisco,
paiet into insignificance before
what we have heard this afternoon
Here, again, the applause was
stupendous, and it was sometime
before order could be restored.
The applause shook the building.
ANOTHER UOTSIIOT.
“The result can only embitter
feelings and engender strife, and
bis conduct is violative of the
spirit of the Master he serves-
How comes it, oh, shade ot the
loly Nazarine, that oue of His
avowed followers sould give utter
arce to no sentiment save that
which in its legitimate results cau
bring only bitterness and strife
between men ? He took no step
to still the troubled waters, he
brought no oil to pacify the an
gry passions of men. but here he
soaks to create a divison that the
commune of France is not at all
incomparable to. More than fifty
years ago tue state of Georgia
wrestled with the subject of traus
porution. At the home of the
gentleman from Bartow mink
skius were legal tender, and in the
county of Quitman the gopher was
the staple commodity, . The city
in which we stand was a howling
wilderness that had scarcely been
Visited by man, What has
wrought this change? The rail
roads have done it. They have
driven out the old methods of
transportation and given us a
quicker and a cheaper system.
They do the work cheaper thau
the old system, and cheaper than
anybody else can or will do it, and
yet the gentleman is not satisfied.
Nothing can satisfy him on this
subject, and he comes in reeking
with bitterness, and presents, as
the basis of his harangue, the pe
tition of sixty three citizens ask
ing you to keep this railroad com
mission in power that they, the
beneficiaries of the railroad, that
they
1)ID NOT BUILD,
may be protected under this usurp
atiou of authority. (Applause.)
They fail to listen to the c.om
plaintsjof 4,3000 shareholders when
tiiey tell us they are on the verge
of bankruptcy,”
Mr. Harrison leferred to the
fact that Georgia had failed to
make a success of running her
own road and had then capped fiie
climax by putting ail the other
roads in the hands of ibree men to
run—and two out of three don’t
know the value of a cross tie.
Ho spoke at some length on the
necessity for a cl ange in the law
and said the matter ought to be
decided justly and wi'hout preju
dice.
KNOCKED OFF A TRAIN.
Intelligence of a serious acci
dent to Mr. P- C. Langston, of
