THE OHIO ELECTION.
The state election of Ohio
comes oft to-day. And while it
*s but a local coutest, the entire
country is watching the result
with deep interest for several rea
sons, In the first place, this is
the first important election that
has occurred since the /democrats
got into power. Both sides are
putting forih their best efforts
not only because tbe con trol of a
great state like Ohio is important
as a local matter but as showing
the drift of popular sentiment
politically.
There is an other view of it in
which the South is especially in
terested. John Sherman, the ac
knowledged leader of tbe Repub
lican party in that State, has at
tempted to resurect the bloody
shirt. He opened tue campaign
with the most vindictive asper
sions of the South and has inaugu
rated a campaign of ha'e and vin.
dicfiveness. //is example has
been followed by Hoar of Massa
chusetts, and if it proves success
ful it may be recognized as tbe
stock in trade of (he Republicans
in every State, and tbe South will
again be subjected to a storm of
misrepiesentations and abuse.
If it fails in Ohio, it will probably
fail elsewhere, and the Republi
cans will probably look to some
other issue, with which to build
np tbe party and regain power.
JUDGE Eit WIN APPOINTED
COMMISSIONER.
On last Satmday, Gov McDan
iel appointed Ex-Judge Erwin,
Rail Road Commissioner to suc
ceed Ex-Gov Smith, whose lime
expires the 15th of this month.
If the Governor had picked
over tbe Sta'e, we doubt whether
a better appointment could have
been made. He is a clear beaded
J
experienced lawyer, who will dis
charge the duties of the position
(o which he has been assigned fair
ly and honestly, without favorit
ism to the Rail ltoads on one side
or prejudice on the other. The
people can trust him to see that
no unjust discriminations are
made by corporations or syndi
cates, and the Rail Roads can con
fidrntly appeal to him for exact
justice, with the assurance that he
will look into the questions candid
ly and render a fair unprejudiced
decision.
There is no reason why the Rail
Roads and the Commission should
be a < war. As tbe final arbiters
between the public and the Roads
it is only necessary to exhibit a
spirit of fairness, aDd the Commis
sion will be met by liberal joi-CtS
sions on the part of the managers
of the Roads. Whether they ar e
so met or not, the officials, clothed
with these extraordinary powers,
should have the manliness to do
right. And with a Commission
composed of as liberal, just and
fair men as we believe Judge Er
win to be, thsre will be no issue
to carry before the people or the
Legislature.
The Legisl»‘ure will adjourn
next Thursday Including the
fall term, it will have been in ses
sion one hundred and forty-five
days, ai a cost to the State of SSBO
for each member, making the en
tire cost of the Legislature ol
about one hundred and forty thou
sand dollars.
The question is, what have they
done to benefit the State? What
general law has been passed to
compensate the people for this im
mense outlay ? They have discuss
ed about everything from the saie
of the State Road to the taxing of
a game of base ball, but we cannot
now remember any general acts,
except raising the taxes on the peo
pie, the establishing a school of
tecbnolc gy and providing for tax
assessors in each county, that de
serve any special notice. Perhaps
the levying an additional tax, in
view of the amount of money
squandered by the Legislature,
was unnecessary [The squandering
of from sixty to one hundred tlious
and dollars on a school of icehnol
ogy had better been left undone,
and the tax assessors bill will
amount to but little, as the three
assessors will only tnke the place
of the Grand Jury in reviewing
the return of property assessed for
taxation.
There has been a flood of local
bills introduced and the Legisla*
tnre, wants the Constitution so
changed as to open the Hood gates
still wider for such trasn.
The meet important matter to
the people yet to .be acted on. is
the bill changing the Constitution
so as to fix the pay 9f members of
the General Assembly. We ex
pect to see this important amend
ment defeated tn the House,
where everything is debated to a
frazzle and then defeated.
The people of Cieorgia can draw
one long sigh of reiief, when the

THE NEW RAILROAD.
The projector s of t. e Macon A
: Covington Rail Road are taking
active -taps to briug this enter
prise before the people interested
in its constructure.
An important meeting was held
in Macon last week at which Cjl.
Livingston, tbe President of tbe
Road, address d tbe citizens.
We make the foilowiug extract
from his speech showing the route
agreed on and tue proposals of
the company :
Colonel Livingston spoke at
length of the new road, giving the
details of the p'atts by and upon
which it is proposed to build it.
He stated that it would De one
hundred and rive miles in length
and would tap the Air Line rail
road at Green’s crossing a short
distance south of Gainesville; that
the cost was limited to $12,00 per
mile; that he did not ask tbe citi
zens of Macon to agree to pay a
single dollar of tbe amount sub
scribed until (he first load of pas
sengers an H freightbad been dum
ped ; n Macon, tl at capiodists n
New York and Boston had agreed
to furnish at six per cent interest
enough money to build it; that
they would furnish this money up
on bonds to be issued by tbe road
as scon as tbe necessary amount
cf stock is taker.; that all the coun
ties through which the road will
pass have subscribed liberally; that
Macon is asked to subscribe the
stint of $100,000; that the shops
snd headquarters of the company
will be located in Macon; that
every dollar’s worth of supplies
and provisions needed in building
the read, even when it extends
beyond Covingtsn, and is closer
to Atlanta and Augnsta, will be
bought iu Macon; tb.»t tbe road
will add Materially to tie bussi
n.e interests of Macon, etc
During the progress of the meet
the following telegram was re
ceived from General Gordon :
New York, October 7 —To Mr.
S. B Price, mayor, Macon, Ga—
VYithout consultration with auy
one, without a dollar of interest
in (he enterprise, 1 send this in
the interest of Macon and of Geor
gia, to beg that nothing shall in—
tefere at your end with the build
ing of the road from Coving/on in
to Macon- There is danger oT
driving oft' large capitali ts behind
tbe enterprise.
(Signed) J. B. Gordon,
—————
The Macon Telegraph in refer
ing to John Sherman speech
against the South and his cam
paign of enmity and strife, gets in
the foilowiug discretion .-
There is a bird that hannts these
Southern skies, a grim monster of
the air, unsavory to the nose and
forbidding to the eye All the
year round he swings himseli
above the fields, forests and cities.
Voices of children at play, the
hum of happy life, ascend unto
him, but be hears them not. Nat
ure empties her myriad incense
cups (nto the air; he krows it not.
77te beauti«s of earth lie spread
before him, God’s unrivalled pan
orama; he heeds it not. His som
bre foim cleaves tbe vocal heights
a blot on the sky, his shadow dar
kens the primrose, violet and asp
hodel. //is eye is fixed on some
poor wasted frame rotting iu the
sunshine; his scent is strained to
catch death’s foul message from
the oppressed breezes.
There beside that poor wreck
and corruption he finds solace and
delight" There res(s he at last,
feeding on the victim of disease,
yet, poor (imid beast, such is bis
character, he starts oft from his
owr. shadow, and crouches when
the hurtling wing of a dove is
heard in the thicket.
Some very remarkable stories
are told of the tornado which
wrecked the town of Washington
Courthouse, Ohio. It is said that
in an apple orchard some of the
fruit on the trees was actually
baked by the elements of the to r
nado. Near the same spot the
oak, elm and hickory trees are
stuck full of straws from the hay
stacks, some of straws penetratinS
t hehatd back of the shell-bark
hickory. This story is believed
by no one until they see specimens
many ot which are on exhibition.
Quite as tough a statement is that
a farmer eighteen miles distsnt
found a car load of tin roofing
cornices, etc., which bad been torn
from buildings, scattered over
his farm.
The steam bicycle will soon be
here, and when a man wants to
travel around the country he will
just get up steam and sail along
over hill and dale. A Mr Cope
land had one on exhibition in New
York recently, upon which he rode
with perfect ease, lie says the en
gine, boiler aud fuel do not add
more than twenty pounds weight.
Rev. Sam Jones ascortaired ihat
his invitation to St Joe, Mo., was
a commercial enterprise, gotten
up by leading business meD, to
draw a crowd for the purpose of
trade- When Sam ascertained
this he is said to have become very
angry, and denounced /hecommer
cial ways.of the citizens in nues
quivocal terms. He said, “May
God forgive them, I cannot’’
It is now stated from Atlanta
that Dr. Felton and the notorious
J. E. Bryant have formed a coall- 1
tlon. the object being to advance
(he Doctorclaims to the Goveru
otahip of Georgia. Thi- is not the
first coalition tbe i>r has been en
gaged in. The public t m embers
tbe Markham house coalition only
a ftw years ago, and the old gen*
tlernan, it seems, hits learned noth
ing by experience, but lots vault
ing ambition carry him on to fur
ther efforts to gain power in Geor
gia by surrendering principle for
the very distant hope of power.
Your nncle Tom //ondricks
does the honors for the adminis
tration. While (J'eveland and the
cabinet are hard at work, the Vice
President finds that time hangs
heavy on his liandp, and is eujov
*ug the recess by visiting State
faiiS and bolding a general recop
tion wherever he goes. There aie
people all over the count,!y, who
would not mind voting for him in
the next race.
Capt D. G. Purse, one of the
leading busiuess men of Savannah,
failed last Friday He made an
assignment to J.C. Rowland, a di
rector of tbe bank in which Purse
was President. His liabilities are
estimated at from one to two hun
tired thousand dollars, H’s as
set ts, it is believed will cover bis
Jittb ilities.*
WHO WIL-< GET THE SCHOOL
Since tbe bill to establish a
scnool of technology has passed,
there is a lively rivalry between
some of ibe leading cities of the
State to secure it.
* Atlanta, Macon, Athons and Col
umbus are offering inducements
to the State to locate it at their
respective places. The Govenor
is authorized to locate it where
-lie gieatest, inducement is offer
ed,
Tbe farmers of Rockdale county
propose to manufacture their own
fertilizers. They claim that a
good guano can be manufacted at
one half tbe cost of the standard
lertiJizers iu the market.
The /'resident will go to New
York to vote. It has been cuarged
that he is not giving the nominee
a cordial support, but he author
izes the statement that he is per
fectly satisfied with the ticket, and
wilt giva all the aid in his power,
