Louisville, fra., had] a slight

The prospect for a little scrim -
age over in Europe is improving.
Col. Volney Spaulding, a promi
nent citizen of Atlanta, died last
week.
Tne Fair begins in Macon next
Monday and will continue all the
week,
The Presiden. has made six hun
dred changes in Post Masters
since his inauguration.
1/ is now stated that the Geor
gia Midland will be built from Col
umbus to Griffin and A/adison.
The time honored custom ox pie
seating chairmen of committees
with gold headed canes, seems to
have been|dulv observed by the
last Legislature.
Young’s hotel at Tallulah Falls
was burned last Friday. It was a
good ouilding and elegantly fur
nished. The loss will amount to
$15,100, with no insurance,
The Legislature passed a bill
making it a penal offense to sell
pools or futures. This has creat
ed considerable stir iu Atlanta,
where the business was extensive
ly car lied on.
Sam iMnal! has returned from
his trip to Missouri. He is now
in Atlanta and is lionized by his
old acquaintances there, Munhall
and Bam Jones are the only men
ahead of him, and Sam is gaming
on them.
Contributions are coming in
from all sections of the country to
build a monument to Hon. Alex H
Stephens. SIOO was recently
sent in from the National Publish
ing Co., of Philadelphia. John
Keily gave SSO.
Prussia has determined that the
little principalities lying around in
Southern Europe shall keep the
peace, and she will enforce it like
a big dog stops a fight between
two fioe, by faking them by tne
nape of the neck and shaking them
good.
Tae only hope of Mahone and
Wise is ,o carry the entire negro
vote with money. Frantic appeals
have been sent North for help
and it is stated that a considera
ble Bum has been forwarded to
them from New York and Penns
sylvania.
The Legislature adjourned last
Thursday, alter a continuous see*
siou of ote bnndred days, besides
their last fall session. It is gen
erally agreed truth in and out of
the Legislature, that there has
been less business of an important
character disposed of than during
any session in twenty years.
i/enry W. Shaw, so well known
by his humorous writings as Josh
Billings, is dead. Ha was the
most witty writer of this century,
and frequently condensed more
true philosophy into oue sentence
than many wi iters of distinction
can do in ten pages. He was not
only a successful writer, but
made money rapidly as a lecturer.
Fulton county Court House is
emphatically a Court House.
There is a double barreled Su
perior Court In session, one pre
sided over by Judgs Clark and the
other by Jndge Hammons, then
there is a City Court, and a Court
of Ordinary. Tbe Courty Commis
sioners have sittings occasionally
and Cicero Strong and Lovick
Thomas hold daily levee*.
Gen Lee’' campaign in Virginia
reminds us cf Wade Hampton s
campaign in South Carolina, when
he redeemed the Stat“. He goes
from Coart Ha use to Court House,
riding horse back, on the same sad
dleGenl. R. E Lee rode during
ihe war, with a large escort of
mounted men, and frequently a
number of ladies. They ride to a
town and hold their meetinr
when a new cavalcade is formed,
and they move on to the next ap
pointment. The people are end u
siastic everywhere he goes, and ral
ly around him to shake hands with
the gallant chieftain.
It is now stated that Nellie
Grant, the only (laughter of Presi
dent Grant, is about to sue for a
divorce from her husband, Alger
non Sarioris. He is a brutish sort
of cockney, who married Nellie be
cause she was the President’s
daughter. American girls who,
instead of marrying American
boys, who know how to treat a
wife, take after every titled for
eigner who strolls through the
country hunting a fortune, may ex
pact such treatment at the hands
of tneir husbands, and they get
but little sympathy from the pub
lic.
THE RESULT IN OHIO.
The Republicans have swept the
lield in Ohio The exact majority
is not yet reported, and it makes
little difference as to the figures,
as the cutire State ticket is elect
I ed and they have a majority of the
I Legislature. We had hoped but
hardly expected that the Demo
crats would carry the State. It is
essentially a Republican State, in
every national election since the
wax - xtey have carried it. It is
true that in State elections, when
local issues largely controlled the
vote, the Democrats have pucceed
ed in carrying ffceir ticket occasion
ail/. In this contest every means
known to corrupt political manage
ment were resorted to, as the
stake was not only the State Govs
ernment, but the election of a Sen
ator to succceed John Sterman,
the most astute political wire-work
er of xhe West. He is as greaX
a captain in political maneuvering
as his brother was a military com
mander, and as he regarded his
election to the Senate as a neces
sary step to secure the nom iia
lion for the Presidency in tne
next election, all the energy, tac
ti cs, as well as a good supply of
“boodle,” was utilized to secure
the victory.
He opened the campaign by ap
pealing to the passions ana preju
dice of the people. He arrayed
the South as still hugging rebell
ion to their bosoms, and by flaunt
ing the bloody shirt for all it was
worth. It is stated that there are
twenty or tl irty thousand LSgro
voteis in that State, the last one
of whom doubtless were controll
ed by the Republicans. This vote
was sufficient to insure them suc
cess, as they hold the balance of
power,
About the only result that the
country feels any special interest
in, is that a vindictive partizan,
an unscrupulous agitator, and a
crafty political manager has se
cured another lease of six year? in
the Senate.
HANGING IN WALTON.
On last Friday, Bill McGatr
ghey was hanged in Monroe for
the murder of his wife on the 12th
of last February. He knocked her
down with an axe ani cat her
throat with a razor. He was con
victed of murder without recom
mendation by'the jury, and sen
tenced to be tiuog at the fall term
of the conrt.
We copy the following account
of the execution from the Consti
tion ;
A large crowd met him at tbe
depot. He came from the cars
smoakiog a cigar and spoke cheer
fully to everyone he knew.
BACK IN .JAIL.
At the jail door he stodped and
said \
“My Lord, have 1 got to stay in
that place all night and tight lice
by myself,”
He seii< sevaral messages at
once to B, S. Walker to come to
the jail to see him. When he
went Bill asked him in the most
imploring manner to telegraph
Mars Henry, (meaning Governor
Mcl >anie!,) to give him a few more
days. When told this would do
no good he seemed to give up and
asked Mr, Walker to send wotd
to his sister, who lives in Gaines
ville, to come to his hanging and
take his body away and not let the
doetors get him. He said he had
rather the buzzards would get him
than for the doctors to cut him
up.
Quite a number cf colord people
called to see bim during the evens
ing, to all of whom he said he was
ready to die; that his sins had all
been forgiven, and warned them
to do better He usked to see the
rope with which he was to be
hung- he examined it closely and
said he thought it would hold
him. He said he didn’t want any
failure in the work, but wanted to
get through with it quick ? He
ate a nearty dinner, supper ana
brekfast, and siept well all night
ON THE GALLOWS.
By eight o’clock the town began
to fill with people from all the sur
rounding comities, and by ten
o’clock the streets looked like a
fourth of July in Atlanta. The
train from Gainesville came in at
nine o’clock crowded with men
whose shou*s as the train moved
through the streets, could hive
been heard for a mile. Promptly
at half past eleven the Walton
Guards marched from their armory
with shining bayonets and proceed
ed to the jail- In a few moroeeis
the long procession began to
move. The prisoner rode in a
spring wagon, riding on hiscoflin.
He was securely tied and Deputy
Sheriff Knight sat at his back.
Such a surging mass of humanity
as followed the wagon is rarely
seen. Thiee times within the
las/ three years Mt.Albetr Her
ring, who owns the team, has tak
en crimnals to the same gallows
in the same wagon and with the
same horses. The gallows Is sit
uated in the northern suburbs of
the town, and is well boxed up by
a high plank enclosure twenty five
feet high. It is impossible to
peep through as every crack has
been'eecurely stopped. McGangh
ey had but little <o say on way to
gallows, telling every one he was
ready,
A-t the gallows he stood up in
the’ wagon, showing not the least
signs of fear. He spoke in a
rambling manner.
“I want you all to meat me In
heaven. Raise your children
right. Never rnairy a base wcmati.
: You see what one has brought me
too. Be sure the woman loves
you before you marry her. God
has parnoned my sins. I am ready
and willing to die.
A colored minister proyed and
they sang the hymn “Why Should
IdieT’’ Tee prisoner joined iu
the song and his voice was heard
above all others. He got out of
the wagon and climbed the scaffold
without any help.
HE GOES DOWN’.
Ho said nothing after the rope
was placed around his neck, ex
cept ;
“That is a good rope. I am
ready.”
Deputy Sheriff Knight pulled
the trap aud the prisoner fell sev
en feet aud four inches. He was
pronounced dead in twenty min
utes by several physicians who
were present His body was giv
en to the coroner, who turned it
over to the brother in-law,
Four thousand people were ia
town, one third women.
Apple wagons from beyond the
Blue Ridge came to the hanging.
New York and Virginia will be
the rext battle flel Is of the gieat
political pai ties. In the forner
State, Gov. Hill is the Democratic
nominee and Ira Daveoport is the
Republican standard beaier The
race will be hotly contested, and
the Republicans have succeeded
in whipping back into line, that
portion of their paity who split
oft' last fall and did valiant service
for Cleveland. If the State goes
Republican, it will be chargeable
10 the Administration, who left in
office in that State a large num
ber of Republicans, who are using
tl ir official positions to throttle
the Democracy. Perhaps a defeat
there will open the eyes of the
President to the fact that it is
poor generalship t o supply your
enemy with tho munitions of
war.
In Virginia ’.hebnttle is red hot,
Mahone is making his dying strug
gle for power. He feels that if
the State goes Democratic, and
Genl. Lee is elected Governor;
with a majority in the Legislature,
that there is no hope for him in
the future. He is already ostrax
cised by the best people of the
State. Nothing but his money
and the accidental power secured
by holding office, is all that main
tains him even a respectable stand
ing. With this gone, he will drop
into oblivion like a pebble into a
pit.
No man who turns traitor to his
own people and seeks to betray
the confidence of those who have
trusted him, can expect anything
but that these people will “laugh
at his calamity ami mock .vhen his
fear cometh.”
Dr Hawthorne, of Atlanta, the
great Baptise preacher of Georgia,
thus closed his sermon last Sun-,
day ;
“Two hundred thousand human
beings go down every year to tbe
darkness and horrors of tbs diunk
ard’s hell, who but for tne dogger
ies woul d have lived soberly and
prosperously. In the face of su ch
facts, who doubts that it would
not be jusi and right befoie God
for us to vote these dens of dam
nation out of existence. There is
not an intelligent matt within tne
precincts of this broad land who
is in doubt abont the matter. But
if there was no mightier motive to
move men thin a simple conv ction
of right and duty I should have
uo hope of seeing these infernal
agencies put down. There are a
thousand men in this city who
will vote on the side of doggery,
and the drunkard, who are deeply
convinced of iheir wrong, as Judas
was when he sold his master for
thiriv pieces of silver Bui show
me a man in whose heart the love
of Christ is the regnant passion.
Show me the man who day by day
looks up iutc the face of his Re
deemer and says, “Thou knowest
all /bing , and Thou kuowes: that
I love The*,’’ and I will show you
one who is against this neemsed
traffic with every drop of blood in
his body. My friends, if (bat
name which is above every other
name, be written on the fleshy fab
let of your heart, you are not
standing to day on thesideofhis
foes. Nor are you trying to be
neu'ral. You are where you think
truth, and right, and purity, and
God are. You glory in being
wheie the contest is fiercest, and
the dangers thickest. Yon covet
uo higher privilege and no higher
honor than to suffer with Christ.”
