DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.
The elections last week have
| been peculiarly gratifying to (he
Democratic par'y. The victory in
New York and Virginia- while not
unexpected, show that in the form
er state, notwithstanding the blun
dersofthe Administration, the lie
mocracv has beep able to held a
clear majority, without the aid of
the mugwumps, who claim that
they are entitled to the credit of
Cleveland’s election. New York
politics are always a doubtful quan
tity. The commercial methods
adoptod in the metropolis lender
every election doubtful, and the
split between the Tammany Hall
and county Democracy, weakens
our strength and leaves an oppor
tuuity for the Republicans to get
in their man, Hill, the Democrat
ic candidate, was elected by a ma
jority of from ten to twelve thou
sand, and the Tammany wing car
ried the city of New York. It is
not unusual for Southern Demo
crats to abuse and attempt to
belittle this wing of the party in
that State, but its history has
shown that it is the most reliable
wing of the par.y in tliecity. No t
withstanding their rebuffs at the
hands of of the National partv, in
almost every el action, they have
stood fairly and squarely by their
colors. Mr Cleveland has been
disposed to give them the cold
shoulder, and yet the returns
show, but for their loyalty to the
party, the Republicans woukThave
swept the Stati and a verdict of
condemnation passed upon Cleve
land’s administration by his own
Mtate.
In Virginia the triumph has
been a glorious ojne. Mahone and
hie Scallawuyb have been routed,
horse, foot, and dragons. The
Old Dominion is redeemed. For
the first time «ince the war the
State Government passes Into the
hands of her own a ons. The day
of the scallawag and renegade are
numbered in the South State ats
ter State has fallen into line, and
Virginia is the last to remain in
the control of tuen who have de
serted the old mother for the per
quisite of office. Georgia led off.
and the other slates followed iu
quick succession, until the Old Do
minion was the lust Southern
State that present el the humiliat
ing spectacle of two Republican
Senators in the Congress of tne
Umted States. That a State, where
sleep the remains of Washington,
Jefferson, and Madison, of Lee,
Stonewall Jackson and Stewart,
should speak throught a trait
or and apostale, in the councils of
the nation, was not only humiliat
ing to Virginia, but to the entire
South. And it is a source of con
gratulation both at home and
abroad, that the name of Lee was
invoked to awake the latent fires
of patriotism in this grand old
State, and hurl from places of lion
or and trust, Mahone, V T ise and
Ais gang, who, backed up by the
negro and tUe Republican party,
with its barrels of money and offi*
ces, have been able so long to
crush out the true spirit of tlieir
ancestors. Farewell Billy Mahone,
who blasted an honored name as
a soldier by being a traitor in
peace. Good bye, W r ise—an hon
ored name among the good people
of that State—a degenerate son of
a noble sire, They both go down
into oblivion, like a pebble into a
pit, twin brothers iu infamy.
Fitzhugh Lee’s majority will
reach about twenty thousand, and
he will be backed up by two
thirds of the General Assembly
Fortunately, this Legislature will
elect a successor to Mahone in the
Senate, and after rext March,
that body will not witness the hu
initiating spectacle of the vote
of a State being dickered for pal
try State offices to rivet the power
of this little scab,
No wonder the people «cf that
Slate are wild with rejoicing. The
scallawag and apost.ite office hold
aers can pack tbier grip sacks and
and git, as the cry goes down the
line, “To your tents, oh. Israel.”
'There is not a true Southern
uian, from the Potomac to the /iio
Grande, but what feels his very
soul swell, as he reads the dis ■
patches, announcing that Virginia
is redeemed, while the old sol
diers, who served with Fitzhugb,
will rejoice tuat their old c.mrade
haß been the chosen instrument in
the hands of a just God in lifting
the cloud that has hung so long
over the mother of States and
Presidents.
This victory is a permanent odo.
No Southern Slate that has
thrown ofi completely the power
of a carpetbag government, ever
bows to its sceptre again. The
self respect of the people ve-as
seits it self, and with the “Colie
sive power of public plunder
gone, the rotten concern will fall
to pieces of its own weight, and
the wrangle that will follow be
tween Mai one and ‘his followers,
will furnish sport for the nation
“On with the Dance, let joy be
unconfined.”
DEATH OF GEN. McCLELLAN
Gen. Geo. B. McClelland died
-uddenly at bis residence on Or
ange Mountain, N. J., on the 2Ptii
u!t, from heart disease
He had been unwell for some
time, but his friends did not con
eider him in emmediate danger.
fie a McClellan was born in
1826, and on graduating entered
the army. He distinguished him
self in the Mexican war, and was
regarded, with Genl Lee, as the
most promising young officers
the old army.
His carreer in the Union army
was highly honorable although
not successful, and as a Democrat
ic Genl, he was not in favor at
Washington.
He retired from thb army after
his defeat for the Presidency in
1864. Ilis wife declined to have
him burned with military honors.
Geo. W. Cheves, who killed Col
Pickett in Dawson, Carroll couu
ty, about a year ago, died in Ful
ton county jail las* Thursday. The
killing of Pickett created intense
excitement in Dawson county, aDd
it was dtemed best that he be re
moved to Fulton county jail, -for
fear of mob violence. Long con
finement and the charge of mur
der, so wrought upou the mind of
poor Cheves, that he had become
permanently insane before his
death,
We knew him as a hightoned
and honorable man, peculiarly sen
sative and wreckless when under
the influence of whiskey. On the
press excursion t <r Baltimore in
July 2884, Cheves, then the edit
or of the Dawson Journal, was one
of the party. On the way, Cheves
became in toxicated in Tennessee,
and paraded up and down in
the c ars with an [umbrella spread
over nim. He spoke to no one,
but solemnly marched up and
down the aisles, looking neither to
.'he right or lei t. The members of
the party avoided him, as bis ap
pearance indicated that he was
wild and wreckless. Wextday he
was sober, and when informed of
liis strange 'action, of which he
seemed ignorant, was so dejected
that we feared he would commit
suicide. His sensitive nature was
so disgusted at the exhibition he
had made of himself, that he went
to several members of the party
and asked what he must do to re
instate himself in their esteem, and
during the remainder of the trip*
was melancholly and mingled only
with those who sought his compa
ny- r
When free from the influence of
liquor he was a gentleman, bright,
cheerful aud interesting, bi.t intox
icants had a terrible effect upon
lim, and transformed a quiet;
pleasant, gentleman into a maniac.
Thus ended the life of one of
the brightest meL on the Georgia
press, and his associates deeply
sympathise with hie wife and son
in their distress.
Empty pocket books are lying
around loose in iuacon. The
pickpockets had no use for them
after getting the money,
Five boys run away from home
in Atlanta to follow Cole's circus
and now their parents are discon
solate,
The president had determined
to appoint Gen. McClelland a
member of the civil seivice com
mission, But his death prevented
the appointment.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
The president has set apart
Thntsday the 2Gth day of Novem»
her as a day of public thanksgiv
ing and prayer. The following is
the text of the Proclamation .
By the president of the Udited
States of America —A proclama
tion. The American people have
always abundant reason to be
thankful to Almighty uoci, whose
watchful care and guiding hand
have been manifested in every
stage of ilieir nation, and guards
ing and protecting diem in time
of peril and safety, leading them
in the hour of darkness and of dan

the nation thus fovored should, on
one day in every year, and for
that purpose specially appointed,
publicly acknowledge the goods
ness of cod and rviurn thanks to

7’berefore, I, mover Cleveland,

all the people assemble a' their
usual places of worship, and, with
prayer and soriys of praise, de
von'ly testify their gratitude to
she Giver of every good and per
feet gift for all that he has done for !
us in the year that has just passed ■
for onr presevation as a united na i
tiou, ind for our deliverance from j
the shock ud danger of political
couuulsions; for the olessing of
peace and for our safety %nd quiet
while wars and rumors of wars
have agitated and fflicted otbea na
tions of the earth; for our security
against the scourge of pes/ilence,
which in other lands has claimed
itb de itb by thousands, and filled
tLe streets with mourners, for the
pltulions crops which reward the
the labor of the husbandman and
increase our nation’s wealth; and
for contentment throughout oui
i borders which follow iu the train
of prosperity aud abundance; and
let there also be, on the day thus
set apart, a reunion of families
sanctified andcba6tered by tender
memories and associations, and
let the social intercourse of friends
with pleasant reminiscenses and
ties oj affection and strengthen
the bords of kindly feeling, and
let us. by no means forget, waile
we give tbanko, enjoy the comforts
which have crowned ovr lives that
truly grateful hearts are inclined
to deeds of charity; and that the
kind and thoughtful remembrance
of the pooi will double the pleas

our praise and thanksgiving more
acceptable in the si"ht of the

The following is an extract from
Sam Jones’ sermons in Birming
ham ,•
I never said a man who would
swear would steal, but I did say,
and do say now, that a man who
swells or breaks any one of the
commandments would steal if it
were not for the judges, the sher
iff-, the jails and the coal mines.
If there be a man iD this vast' mill
titude who was acusser when he
started to the war, and went
through this war without stealing
something, I want him to stand
up.
A grey haired veteran at once
arose, about midway the tent, and
in a firm tone said ;
“I went through the wae with
out stealing, and started in as a
profane sweater.”
Jones scratched his head, aud
before he could make a reply, the
bveteran aid \
“I want to state ho tvever, that
1 never swore but one oath in my
life.”
I ones at ouce replied;
“1 thought you couldn’t have
been muen of a ‘cusser’ or else
ttie people kept their things migh
ty well out of your reach.”
He spoke of the evil of gam
bling and said;
“You fellows have got so you
bet on anything. Why, some of
you are betting rigl t now that
Sam Small can beat Sarn /ones a
preaching, and 1 honost'y believv
you are right about that, but you
needn’t gamble on it ”
Speaking of the Louisiana lotj
tery, he said;
“General Lee rests In his peace
fui grave, a man revered by eeery
patriotic Christian in this country.
Beauregard and Early will soon
belaid to test in a grave covered
all over with ignomily,”
He took the mayor and council
severely to task for not driving
the soiled doves from the city lim
its. His remarks in this connec
tion, directed especial'y to the
young men had a telling effect.
He condemed baseball in no meas
ured terms, and said it was the
most corrupting thing in the
south,
If my old flop earod hound
should go out here to your park,
and look on a game of baseball
for ton minutes, I’d shoot him on
the spot.
At the conclusion of the sermon
over three hundred men wen t for
ward giving their hands to Joees,
promising to live better lives and
praying forgiveness.
An other extract .•
He said every man and woman
had to get every vistige of the
bog element out of their chaaac
ters before they could become
Christians; that he was hereto as
sist in destroying that hog ele
meut; and at this point he exlaim
ed ; “Oh, Lord come down and
help us kill bogs! I want this to
be a regular hog killing meeting.”
While discoursing upon the in»
junction, ‘Love thine enemies,’ he
said; “I verily believe I love every
human boifig on the top siae of
this earth, and if you will bring a
man whom I don’t love and stand
him up here on this platform I’ll
hug him until he squeals, and if
you can find a weman in all this
world whom I don’t love and bring
her up here, why- I’ll—l’ll—send
for my wife and make her hug her
until she squeals! [Laughter and
applause. - )
