Illinois the Republicans swept
every town and city.

in London a libel suit against
the Marquis of Queensbury.

Wednesday, the 3rd instant.
The Republicans in Rhode Is¬
land have elected a governor and
other officers with an increase of
40 per cent.over their usual ma¬
jorities.
It seems that the majorities of
the Republicans in every elec¬
tion that takes place are increas¬
ed. The Democrats must get to
gether and act wisely for the
campaigns of ’06
Last Saturday’s Journal was a

We have received a pamphlet

more extended notice next week.
The Populists of Taylor coun¬
ty are considerably stirred up ov¬
er the election of sheriff. Two
men who are Populists claim the
office. Both have friends wdio

The free silver candidates were
elected. For the tirr-l ume the
women exercised then* suffrage,
and wer© overwhelmingly defeat
ed, except in a few cities, w here
they were elected to positions on
the school boards. The result
was very discouraging to the ad¬
vocates of female suffrage.
Advices just received from Cos
ta Rica are to the effect that
government has appointed
Mr. ieodore H. Naugel commis¬
sioner for an exhibit to be made
the Cotton States aud Inter¬
national Exposition. The coui
miauoner has appli. d for space

and factories of Costa Rica.
It looks as if at no distant day
the South will be supplied with
cotton mills. A party of New
England mill men are now in the
South prospecting for the loca
tion of cotton factories.
A man by the n. me of Led¬
better, from Alabama, went to
Brunswick last week, became in
fatuated with a mulatto belle,
proposed marriage, was rejected
and then tried to kill himself.
An armistice is declared for
three weeks between China and
Japan. There is a prospect for
the war to close. If, however,
Japan’s demands are too exor¬
bitant, it is likely China will not
agree—a thing which she ought
not. China, however, is anxious
for peace, and will make a lib¬
eral settlement.
Maj. Black has put an end to
the correspondence between him
self and Mr. W atson. Mr. Black
takes the position that he has no
right to ask the governor to fix a
day for the election ; because he
does not know that the Democ¬
racy will nominate him for the
vacancy. This is a veiy proper
view to take of the situation.
Rev. J. D. Huchabee, a preach¬
er Bixty years old, hav¬
ing a nice family of chiluren and
grand children,eloped a few days
ago with a Miss Dutton, both of
Sonoraville,Ga. They have been
arrested in Providence, Ky.
What a tad picture for a nice
family to oe humiliated by the
disgraceful conduct of him who
should he an example worthy of
imitation.
Some papers think that a war
between the United States and
Spain would be a great benefit to
the commercial world. Others
think not. It would he a good
thing if Cuba could he free, and
belong to the United States. The
only way for this to he accom¬
plished is for Uncle Sam to re¬
sent the insult of Spain, and
teach her a wholesome, though
severe lesson.
Senator Blackburn of Ky. is a
free silver man. He believes that
the single gold standard means
i itvilable bankruptcy and ruin
to this country. It seems that
England and Wall St. propose to
continue to enrich the bondhold
ors, to do which they must rob
the people of their hard earned
dollars—or perhaps better say
hard earned pennies.
The Democrats who believe
that Evans, Repub. icau, was fair
ly elected governor of Tennessee,
want Turney, Democrat, to get
out and let Evans iu. This they
desire that wrangling may cease
and there shall be peace through
out the State. The Democratic
party believes in the purity of
tie ballot box, and when it is
known that their man is defeat¬
ed, although counted in, they
are consistent and will yield to
the right.
It is said that an American
ship building Co. is to furnish
the rebels in Cuba with a torpe
do boat to destroy the Spanish
fieet. „ . f-pam . has . informed . , ... the
U. S. government of this. It is
not known what the authorities
at Washington will do, but .he
signs of war are ominous, and
we would not be surprised if the
pomnliratinns computations Wnnie Become sn so great orpnt
that war will b© the only reroe- [

that if the torpedo boa. » cap

LAST SUNDAY.
The sun came out with his glory
and majesty to open and rule
the day, the dewey morn soon
j dissipating the fleeting clouds
whh playful scorn. The day was
a pleasant one and the people
of Conyers enjoyed the rest, and
placed themselves under its hal¬
lowed influences. The Sunday
schools were out in numbers,and
the quarterly review day was
one of interest to all. At the
Baptist, r , .... cnurch, , D. M. Almand, j
superintendent, the attendance
was larger than usual. The re
port of Secretary Plunkett show
ed an average attendance of 75
for the quarter, and collections
amounting to nearly twenty do!
lars ; the school contributed ten
dollars to missions.
The Methodist school under the
superintendency of their enthu¬
siastic leader no doubt did equal
ly as well, so also of the Presby
terians. The reports of these two
we did not get.
The day being the fifth Sab¬
bath there was no preaching at
any of the churches except the
Methodist, where Dr. Quillian
entertained his congregation at
eleven from the text, “The earth
is theLord’s and the fulness thei e
of.” From this he drew argu¬
ments for missions, and after tin
discourse a collection in cash and
subscriptions of $230.75 was tak¬
en for home and foreign mis¬
sions. At night the Dr. gave a
fino talk more especially for the
benefit of young men from the
first Psalm, which if every one
will read, will do them good,
As to an Extra Session.
Four members of the late lamented
congress, Charles Tracey, Democrat, of
New York; Josiah Patterson, Democrat,
of Tennessee, Bellamy Storer, Repub¬
lican, of Ohio, and Robert G. Con
sins, Republican, of Iowa, lay before
the people In The NortlvAmqrican Re¬
view their opinions as to the need of an
extra session of the Fifty-fourth con
gross. Their views, briefly summed up,
are like the chapter on snakes in Ire¬
land. There is no need of ah extra ses
lion.
Mr. Tracey calls attention to the
method by which, when greenbacks and
treasury notes are redeemed in gold by
the government, they are not withdrawn
from circulation, bat are given out again
and brought anew to draw more gold
from the treasury. One $10 note might
thus withdraw $100 in gold from the
treasury. But Mr. Tracey is of opinion
that under the act of July 11, 1875,
there is ample authority for issuing all
the bonds the government needs and
buying gbld with them without the
sanotion of congress.
Mr. Storer says that if the Fifty
fourth congress were called in extra ses¬
sion it would legislate on the financial
problem to please itself, not to please tbe
president, and that therefore there will
be no extra session.
Mr. Patterson says tbe interests of the
east and the south lie together against
the silver mining interests of the west,
and therefore east and south should
unite on financial measures. Mr. Cous¬
ins is of opinion matters are » bad as
they can be now financially, and an ex¬
tra session will not help them any. He
thinks, and believes a majority of the
people think with him, that the present
financial troubles of the country are
owing to deficiency of revenue. But the
president can never be brought to adopt
that view. If he were to call an extra
session of congress, it would only be
that tbe congress might pass measures
of relief which Mr. Cleveland himself
thinks proper, whatever the members
might deem best. Under these circum¬
stances, the Iowa congressman considers
that an extra session would bo worse
than useless.
