In the municipal elections in Illinois the Republicans swept every town and city. Oscar Wilde has commenced in London a libel suit against the Marquis of Queensbury. Postmaster General Wilson took the oath of office and w T as inducted into his new place on 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 mammoth sheet of 48 pages with 836 columns. It would have cost, If all had gone through the mails, $800 to pay the postage. This is enterprise. Stanton in Tuesday’s Consti¬ tution touches us tenderly and sweetly iu his “One of These Days,” and “When Grandma Was There.” South Carolina is again herself The Tillmanites and unti-Till tnanits have united and will pre¬ sent a soli I Democratic front in the coming campaigns. This is right. We have received a pamphlet from T. K. Oglesby, whoexpos es n li.crary fraud perpetrated upon the Southern people by Werner and Go. —the encyclo¬ pedia Britanuica. Wo will give 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 advocate their respect.ve rights, thus making the < tmt'- general. It may result iu n.Mntegra tiou oi the party iu Fan lor. At t.»© recent elocli.'us iu Ohio the Demon ate madeSotuugains. 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 upon which to erect a pavilion in which the products f Oosta Rica w J! be displays . Thu i, similar to tbe exhibit aui l>v 1 Costa Rica at the World’s v here tho little rtpubl.< took off j fifty-five premiums. Ti e eoin luissioneris of the opiniou thu a large number of exhibits can be had from the coffee planters 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- [ dy. The Spanish have intimated that if the torpedo boa. » cap tured th© crew will be treated es. j Ladies should attend the grand opening at Langford ’« I Tuesday and Wednesday next. 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. simultaneously with the Gouia wed ding and the Vanderbilt divorce anotb « great event claimed tbe attention of the country.
