of New England Exhlbltor??-Note??.
Saturday was a good day at the exposition,
and it dosed the most successful week of this
groat straw. The crowds are now steadily
great. As soon as the railroads put down
their fares to one cent per mile, there was no
longer any difficulty in obtaining a crowd,
and from this time on there will beafnlf
flow of visitor* from all parts of the country.
There is bat one opinion of the exposition.
Itisn success universally conceded, anil lias
done more to establish Atlanta among the
cities of the land than any other event in her
history. It is Said by men who carefully ob
serve and safely calculate that the exposition
will bring millions of dollars to the south
and there are other great benefits coming
from it too plainly to lie disregarded. One
month more will end this greatest of all
American industrial exhibitions and all who
can get to it should see it.

Georgia Politics.
??? Atlanta letter to Baltimore Sun.
It is assumed there will be a strong underlying
political motive for Mr. Arthur???s visit just now to
Georgia, where a coalition against the organized
democratic party in power is among ths suggestive
possibilities in the immediate future. A year from
this Georgia wilt elect a governor in place of Col
quitt. For some years the assaults on the machine
ry which has governed Georgia politics since the
war have been steady. The recent result In Vir
ginia is considered to afford an opportunity to ex
tend the fracture in the political unity of the solid
south. But in GcorgiA are none of the Issues which
formed the groundwork for upheaval in Virginia,
and nothing similar to them. The cry of ???new
era??? and ???breaking up the solid south*??? will not
serve the purpose. The young men of Georgia who
came fo the front after the war still hold the reins.
The bourbons are really the outs, and contribute
the few leuders the independents have in Georgia,
and among them there are no Mahones. It is
thought that Lucuis J. Gartrell or General Woft???ord
will be the Independent candidate for governor,
but to come within a dozen of the man who will be
the regular demiicratlc nominee would imply u
rare gift of prophecy.

position, be said, was an example of what the south
could do when she tried. He predicted that the south
would move on in the line of the progressive age.
He said that It was a mistake to suppose that a
dense population was necessary to the true pros
perity of the south, and while he was not opposed
to immigration our true greatness must be worked

ADDRESSES BY OUK TENNESSEE VISITORS YESTERDAY.
The distinguished party of Tennesseeans, headed
by Governor llawkins, was welcomed to Atlanta and
tho exposition in Judges' ball at half-post twelve
yesterday. I he wea her was cold, but a very good
audience was present.
The distinguished visitors were escorted to the
stand by Governor Colquitt, Senator Brown aud
other prominent Atlanta gentlemen. Major J. F.
Cummings culled the meeting to order and invited
Governor Colquitt to preside and to welcome the
visitors In au appropriate address. Governor Col
quitt. on taking the chair, said:
l Lelies aud geutlemen???The duty which has been
assigned roe by the chairman will be discharged
very briefly. It i not necessary that I should ex
tend to the citizens of Tennessee??? a formal welcome
to Georgia. We have been closely united In both
commercial aud agricultural relations. Indeed, we
ulmm-l live upon Tennessee and it is not necessary
that I should bid you welcome, you eitlzeus of our
sister state know well that we are always ready to
giro you a warm shake of the hand aud assurances
that we are glad to meet you. While I shall make
no formal welcome to you gentlemen, it will be my
pleasure to introduce some of you to this audience
so that our people may know you better. You have
with you me governor of the state, aud I wish that
we could hear something from him, and with that
expectation l lake pleasure iu Introducing him.
Governor Colquitt then introduced Governor
llawkins, who arose and said:
Ladlea and tientlemen and Mr. President: In the
name of Tennessee l thank you for the kind and
cordial welcome which you have given to us, her
citizens. We are not strangers, aud I am happy to
meet with you on this occasion. I am proud to
greet you as my brethren and my fellow citizens.
As has been intimated the fortunes and dcstiuies
of Tennessee aud Georgia have beou very nearly
and closely allied. Wo have the same interest and
the same destiny. Whether for weal or for woe
whether we go down or whether we ascend we jour
ney together. Aud in behalf of the people of Tcu-
neswe, and wc who ore here to-day 1 would say that
we are in aooord heart and soul with the people of
Georgia. We recognize her as our beloved sister
state, and I may be permitted to remark just here,
rather 1 may be permitted to repeat the words of
one who said, ???1 feel that it is good to
bo here.?????? I feel proud of the evi
dences of yonr prosperity, of your progress, and of
your future destiny, lam indeed nappy and glad
that I came here. Mr. President, permit me here
to say that I found with deep regret my inability to
be here on governor???s day. I would most happny
have come If I could have done so. But as we
have learned mistakes and accidents will
occur. 1 got it into my head
that it was the 27th of November, and when
I learned the truth, iny arrangements were such
that l could not attend. But i resolved that l
would come as soon as 1 could, and consequently
I am here. I will soy to you, however, that I came
to see and learn, instead of being seen and under
taking to teach. Therefore you will minion me
when I tell von that I am wholly unpre
pared tor this task, and 1 can only make
a few suggestions. 1 can only hope
that they may be practical. But a few years ago.

of bringing together all persons interested in
the cultivation of this staple, that they
might study the implements and machinery on ex
hibition here and also confer together on matters oi
moment to the whole planting Interest As, how
ever, the prosperity of the cotton planter is Inti
mately connected with the development of all
branches of southern agriculture, the scope of the
invitation was enlarged, uud all southern farmers
were Included In it During the visit of Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson and his party to the exposition,
it wus deemed wise by those gentlemen
to secure a large attendance of gentlemen
connected with the cotton spinning industry, and
arrangements have been perfected by which a very
considerable delegation of the National spinners'
association will attend the convention. Thus all
interests will be brought into council and the result
cannot but be of immeasurable importance to the
future of southern agriculture. While the conven
tion is iu session several days will be devoted to
trial tests of gins and other machines
connected with the eotton industry,
which will be supervised by judges chosen
from among the planters and splnuen. Arrange
ments have been made with the railroads for re
duced fares from all parts of the south. Hon. Geo.

respectfully ask the press ot the oountry to give the
fullest notice to their readers of au event which
will be of tiuch prime importance, not only to the
south, but to the Whole country.

Southern Beauty.
Atlanta Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
Among the thousands of citizens of Georgia, Ala
bama, the two Carolina* aud sLster states repre
sented here in the largely increased attendance of
the past five days the southern beauty has been
present in no inconsiderable proportion, and
wherever found she is di-tinctlvo among her sex
and is collectively the reflex of several types of
feminine loveliness. You find her as a slender
brunette, with classic features, faultless though
delicate form and Hashing black eyes; far less
numerous but fully as attractive Is the entrancing
und ever-popular blonde, who,while of more robust
figure anti of less delicate tout ensemble, Ls equally
graceful and eminently fitted'to shine with and in
contrast to her Ca rk-cyed ri vssl. Th ere is another type
here which a stranger will find prominent among
the two, but which cannot propel ly be classed ns u
beauty. That is the hlondinc, who must be called
pretty, but not bcauliiul; whose dignified manner,
charming presence and graceful curriage necessarily
add to her natural attractions. She is met in a
mixed throng in'greater percentage than either of
the others, and when seen Invariably commands
extensive and respectful commeut from the oppo
site sex. J ust here, to a close observer, there is one
very pleasing and striking peculiarity about the art
building which doss not exist to nearly the same
extent at any other point on the
grounds, and that is the fact that it is a
popular resort tor ladies of refinement,
beauty and culture. Take the durk eyed southern
beauty in her native atmosphere and her intellect
ual attainments and fascinating manners form uu
appropriate setting to her prepossessing personnel.
In no place can htr combined qualities be seeu to
better advantage than here. She goes through the
several buildings, admires the exhibits which in
terest her sex exclusively, grasps the intricate scien
tific problem as it is presented in the mass of cotton
and othei machinery, and r* ads in the exhibits of
improved agricultural instruments the diserepan-
eies*and necessities of the soil culture in this sec
tion, but it is in the Art building where she is
found in her natural element.

Guiterm's attempt to prove himself of unsound
mind and thereby save his neck from the gallows
ought not to impose upon any intelligent person.
The evidence that he wus mentally responsible
when he assassinated the president is overwhelm
ing. The poiuts against him are:
1. That he was able to plan the act. All his
movements showed careful premeditation. He fol
lowed the president tor weeks: several times re
frained tram shooting him fer fear of injuring by
standers or out of pity tor his wife, ana reasoned
the matter out coherently, keeping his own counsel
till the deed was done.
2. That he was able toappreciate thepoliticaland
personal consequences of the act He knew that
Arthurwould become prtsidenL There was no ev
idence of insanity in his declaration to that effect.
He knew also that the first result of the shooting
would be to put himself in great bodilydanger, and
ho provided tor his safety by engaging a carriage be

the shot All this was logical and coherent.

he were really insane, he would glorv in his deed,
