A New Issue.—The recent election* in tlio Northern, Middle nnd Western State*, may be regarded as nn indication of a pur pose on the part of tho Northern people to vote down tho proposed Constitutional Amendment. This will defeat what has Been termed “manhood suffrage” in all those States which can establish their claim to constitutional rights as members of the Union. But hot* will it Bo with Georgia and the othfcr Gulf States whose present status is that of a conquered State out of the Union 1 Clearly, that CongTess, as the representative of tho Victor, has the right to impose Its own terms npon the con quered States. But the result of these elections will cul minate in a new issue at the next session of Congress—an issue effecting tho rights of tho Northern States. Indeed, Mr. Ste vens, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, have already sprung the issue. It Is this: Has ( Congress the power to pass a uniform franchise law, to bo en forced in each of tho States, and In disre gard ol the wishes of the people of the States ? Several of the extreme men of the party have declared In fovor of such a law; nor is it lmprobablo that some such meas ure will be up Immediately upon the as sembling of Congress. Snch n law has al ready been enacted for tile Southern States; but the power to enforce it Is derived from U10 law of Nations—is predicated upon the assumption that they are conquered States oct of tho Union—and not in accordance with the Constitution of tho United States. Whether the people of the Northern States will submit to such a measure, if carried, remains to be seen. A Babe Chance fob Profitable In vestment.—The Crntehticld House, of Chattanooga, enjoys a national reputation. No gcutlcman or lady who has over trav eled over either of the great railway thoroughfares centering at Chattanooga, but who has seen tills House and become its temporary guest. Its location Is such as to make it tho most valuable property of the kind in the United States, it luid become proverbial liefore tho war. as one of the best paying establishments in the United States. During nnd since the war. when railroad travel was greatly Increased, it amassed a mammoth fortune for its lessees. It has but recently been destroyed by lire, and it will bo seen by the advertise ment of the Proprietors, Messrs. W. A. & II. I,. Spencer, that they propose, either re building it themselves, or leasing tho grounds to capitalists for a term of years To men of means, they offer a rare oppor tunity for an investment. It cannot fall to pay an enormous dividend. There is not, in our opinion, a better opening for prolUable investment In the United States. The peculiar advantage of its location, its national reputation nnd its contract with tlio roads centering there, conspire to make suceeoAil competition impossible. In case tlio property is not leased, tlio Proprietors will rebuild it themselves.— Contractors will, therefore, And it to thoir interest to address tho Messrs. Spencer at Social Circle, in this State. They ore gen tlemen of character and reliability. Klopemext near Macon.—The Macon Messenger of yesterday says a certain pret ty and fair damsel from Southwestern Georgia, whoso name it Is unnecessary to mention, aa It has since been changed, In spite of wind nnd weatberand parental ob jections, acting on that beautiful scriptural quotation, “Whithersoever thou gocst I will go, thy pcoplo shall bo my people, Ac.’’ left tier home and its endearments to follow and share tho fortunes of the mtn »ho loved. By previous arrangement the parties with their escorts met at the Macon depot Wednesday night and took tho train Immediately for Grlttlii, tho residence of the happy bridegroom, where they wore duly united In the bonds of matrimony. I’nosrECTiVECiiANOc in the Cabinet,— Senator Patterson, tlio President's son-in- law, stated publicly,' that Ooverhor Noy- uiouV will succeed Seward. Prom a similar source It Dlcarned that Frank P. Blair, dr. General .McClelland and Gen. Ewing are named for tho War Olllcc. Tiie Ou> Error.—Wo hope when our country exchanges get done copying from Use New York papers about tho Mrs. T.ln- coln scandal, they will tell ns what Is going on in their respective localities. A coun try newspaper is worthless, pxeopt for its local Intelligence. To be MAitmttro.—It Is new reported -upon reliable authority,” that the female man In petticoats, Anna Dickenson, is to he married sure enough. Pity the poor devil who gets her. . Tho Cotton Tax. Memorials jure hying circulated forslg- jinturcs throughout Hie West and South, praying Congress to repeal tlio tax on cot ton. This tax Is heavily oppressing cotton growers, and is paralysing all trade based upon that staple. Speaking of tho matter, tlio Chicago Tribune says: “A general despondency exists among tho planters, ns tho reduction In price has been so steady nnd so long continued, that tho avails of tho crop will hardly more than suffice to pay off their indebtedness. Many of them will bo ns poor ss when’ they started. Most of them commenced plant ing after the war with very limited means and under very disadvantageous clrcum- stnuoyv They not only owe their factors and commission mcrcbsnts for considera ble advances, which roust lie paid out of tho amount realized from tills year s cron, but thoy contracted for labor on a basis price for cotton much above what will lie actually realized. Under tlio expectation that quotation* would not foil below a cer tain figure many ventured on expenditures for fertilizers, lor improvement of fences, for erection of buildings and for other kindred objects, which, although valuable additions to the wealth ot the country, sre, nevertheless, in tho present juncture, so- rious embarrassments to tlio ownei*. ’ That tho Government should step in and demand two and a half cents tax on cot ton, Just nt a time when everybody is dis heartened, is inexplicable: Tho . parties who advocated the passage of this unwise law, are beginning to see their mistake, and ft Is hoped that tho pleasure will be acted upon Immediately upon the assembling of Congress. _ ■ General Grant and tun Prxsidenct. Some of Gen. Grant's political enemies^ says the N. Y. Sun, are nominating him for the Presidency. At least the Inference is that the nominating partita are his ene mies, for’they could adopt no more effec tual plan for Injuring his prospects than that of trotting him out upon tho course so long- before the race. In the first place however, there Is no reliable evidence that Grant wants or would aocept a Presiden tial nomination. He has a for more envia ble pokltion where ho is, and ono which he can hold for life. If ho were to go Into the political contest for President ho would necessarily become a partisan, thereby in curring the opposition of half tho people in the country, and making himself the object of all tho ill-feeling and partisan malice that foil to the lot of Presidential aspirants. If ho were elected ho would bo bored to death by importunate office-seek ers. and at tho end of a brief lour years, or eight at most, be would be jilaced iipoii the shelf of obscurity with such fosslisas Fill more, Pierce and Buchanan. But If Grant Is really nmbltlous to sit In the Presidential chair, the best policy for him and his Mends Is to keep Just ns quiet os possible for the next eight months. Grant appreciates this fact, ns his rctlccnccahows, and his only danger, therefore. Is from tho indiscretion of ills friends. A Hew Style of WaferTnll* the Era belongs, thank Ood, to no party j therfdre, her advocacy qf Gen. Grant for the Presidency, in 1888, Is upon the broadest and most comprehensive national grounds, Era. Tho Era la in a great hurry to begin the Presidential contest. She is entirely too fast.

Mob Violence in Savannah—A Negro Tarred and Feathered—Particular! of the Affair.—It was announced In the Savannah papers that on tho 17th at 4 o'clock Aaron Hurt, a demented; Inoffensive negro, would address tlio colored men of thnt city. Tlio Republican of the 18th contains the following account of the affair and Ita sad results: Aaron appeared at the time, and a table was carried Into the square for him, and about live o'clock a number of negroes and a few whites had assembled there, and Aaron mounted tho table and commenced to speak, and in the course of ids remarks Church # .

The demand for negro labor will not he so great; wo will have to hire for part of the crop, nnd let cotton be the surplus. I shall pay special attention to raising stock, plenty of hogs, corn, rice, Fmall grain, mako tiie planta tion self-sustaining, and then what I can In cotton.

This will Bo my plan, nnd It is tbt only plan to save us." ON Dit.—It is circulated In Alabama, upon the credit of Lewis E. Parsons, Mr. Johnson’s Ex-Proylslonal Governor, that there will be qualified suffrage established In Alabama, by tho Btnte Constitutional Convention. Mr. Pa none opposed “qnall- Bed" suffrage In June, 1888—the time when that monsuro was practicable In Alabama and In other Southern State*. Male Colleob at Newnan.—Tho Trus tees of tho Malo Academy at Nownan havo called a mcctlngof the citizens to consult about the interests of education, and to devise means by which a new aqd cqmmo- dious house may he erected.

John then ran at tho top of his speed. The men seised poor Aaron, stripped him of his clothing, covered him with warm tar, nml then emptied n ling of feathers over him. They made threats of shooting him and then left. After tho perpetration of this outrage. Aaron, covered with this curious guise, made Ills way to the police tmrrnrks. where some warm water quickly divested him of Ms unnatural covering, a couple of blank ets were given him to wrap up in, and lie was allowed to lie down and rest. The man who gave Ida name us John was no doubt a decoy duck. His name proves to be something else. IJeut. Howard immediately determined to (jo his utmost tq ferret out the authors of this nlost Infamous outrage. Aaron Hurt,, us .we state in another par agraph, Is a poor Ignorant, demented crea ture, doing no harm to any one. He was body servant to t 'ol. Payton Colquitt, a distinguished officer in tho Confederate service, and commander of the 48tli Geor gia, who was killed lit the battle of Chtca- inauga. and whose remains Aaron carried front the Held of battle. .Vigilant search was being made for the parties supposed to have been implicated In the outrage during last night; and we hope that some, if not ail of them, may lie brought liefore ills Honor, the,Mayor, this morning, and lie dealt with in the most, summary manner.

When thu Abbe Dennis laid tiie first atone of the church and presbytery ho has built bv his own exertion*, on the site of tiie old chattcau nml gardens of liagnliert. a hen’s neat Hill of eggs was discovered beneath the ruins of the undent building. These eggs, more than twelve hundred year* old. were about to ho thrown ‘away by the la borers, when tiie Abbe, remembering that wheat ha* been grown flrom grain found in Egypt in mummies, dated back from tlio time ot the Pharoahs, bethought him that possibly there might ho life in these eggs.
