Atlanta, Qa. 1HB DEMOCRATIC SITUATION. Tl c democratic canvass Is progressing quietly and serenely. Those who have tin campaign In charge are apparently surrouu ed by an atmosphere of confidence that Is rarely felt at the beginning of a great politi cal contest Tire confidence which the demo cratic leaders fuel scorns to tie warranted by the state ot public opinion—Hint conservative public opinion nrlilch makes its Inlluoncofclt os we sometimes sea a great wheel movod by invisible and noiseless machinery. There Is much In the present situation to remind one of the situation In 1870, albeit the conlllcnca of the more thoughtful observers Is greater now than it wua then. Tbo issuo then was upon administrative reform, and tills issue, Important llien, has become paramount, 1'eopio who,have n 1 real.and abiding (uterest< in the honest and economical administration of public affairs perceive clearly that the only road to any species of reform, eitlior In taxa tion or In expenditure, is in the direction of democratic success. They poreeive that there can be no inform of any kind as long as tlio republican {party retains its corrupt hold on the govcYmpcpt. It it worthy of note that every objection flint list lieeii made to tint record of Dover lor Cleveland cither by republicans or by so-called democrats, proceeds from some Interested in dividual, front acme person who lias an ax to grind, K<f. opo Intimately connected with the peopio; no one who lies real sympathy fur the laboring oliutcs and for all ck»iea,hai thus otn to' Governor I 'loro land's reco<t(,,nt,Ajiy complaint In regard to tlicmar.ner'ln Which he lias conducted tlio aflhlrs of tint.iiHvat. slate of New York. Governor 'OlHvbinil lias managed to render " himself obnoxious to John Ki}|Jiy, yjs any lionrit, conscientious man would tiwvUsbly have dme, and tlio re- Hull is that Jiy. 1J)aim’s fu glcmcit nre making H doeperoto MtohlJ't to curry tlio Irish vote, having alrcSy 1>uhM up Burit Irish nows- papers as abfi ty'thb market. This lx aVf»r ui tlio B!a! no campaign bos proceeded, arid this h not wry far, it mail be conceded, for no re tv* i Me am! honest Irish* roan will rule f\»r. the ivpnbaein cunlahtto for president with %c Idea that !u pnpjies to free Ireland or taengage in war vith Groat Britain, or that be will afford jtro.i’er pro ec* tlon to A tutr nun citizens abroad than a tie no- erotic president. .Such an id i would ha foolish in tho extreme, fur It is ti u to I*d ?up- posed that it * or pws 4 *nt wh» de liberately dociarm ; it to bo tho Intention of his parly to put q'itbp to Irish and Hornim immqfn tlon* efitt have any great sympathy for the Iriah voter* In this country, or f ir tha" unfortunate Irish across the water who hard for so many yawn been the victims of British tyranny and oppression. The advantage of tho situation thus fir is undoubtedly with the democrats, and thera is no reason to believe that there will be any terious change. The deflation of Ta*nnwuy bas been overstated and overrated—a fact that Will fully appear on election day—and all tho other signs arp more than favor able* The re- Toil against Blaine is fu reality' a revolt against republican corruption by honest and conscientious republicans. Tho nomination of Mr. IUalnc was simply the ex cuse f. r a movement that has been gittorin? strength and volume ever alifco tho credit tnobfilcr exposure)*, and it extends among a d*« of repubiicttna that pridt s Itself in rotin; in behalf of the moruHttes. Tin Bl.Vna Cickt t is supported by the ofllrehaMinf and ©fllec-seeking class. This fs Its strongih, and ft is a strength we are not at all di-ip >-© i b underrate. The result in Ohio in October Is fir m >-o important to the republicans than it is o the democrats; for if thedetiioo.*m > iM*cirry the »tate the Blaine campaign wuali imnie- dfatily col‘a pee; but if the republinut •hould carry it. tho democratic canvass would rot lc materially afikvted, rioee it is w dl hn«,w n that Ohio is a republican it t*e. Y;» * Cumot;* carried the state for H.KtIiy nt the lest election, and ii is well known tbit tluy ere antbprohfhltion. I'ur that a *il oth*"r reasons, they are not fond of Mr. KUhu, a t 1 the cut!cole is that they aiU vote in October as they voted In the governor’s election—for the democratic ticket With New York almost certainly demo cratic, and Ohio probably so, there fs every reason for believing that Indiana will be brought back into tlio democratic column. Mr % Hend ricks has already demonstrated his carnet tncyp, and, ns he is tlio most popular man in the state, there is fio reason to doubt that he will be able to neutralize the oiTcct of the republican corruption fund that is cer tain to be sent into Indiana. W© think our readers will agree with us that the demo cratic situation Is more Hum satisfactory. There is no confusion, no fuss, no bluster. The campaign is moving forward quietly and with confidence. In no presidential year ainco the war has the democratic party ever had more reason for hope, or a better excuw for indulging in sclf-gratulatlon. THE EMBARGO ON GEORGIA MELONS. If wc understand the steamed and prepos terous Macon Telegraph, it is of the opinion not only that The Constitution is joyfully ured by the housewives of Bibb to place be neath their carpets, hut that this, journal has entered Info a feonapiraey with the truck farmers of the state to cause losses to those who engage in « business which is demon strably a profitable and practicable one—, namely, tho raising of watermelons (to say nothing of other vegetables) for northern and western markets. Our steamed con temporary makes out its accusation plain enougb, but It is prompted not by sympathy for any losses the farm©: smny have sustained, but by the suggestion of Tiik Constitution that the railroads (some of which had been remarkably libera!) should not now, through any short-sighted or grasping policy, kill tho goose that lays golden summer eggs. The steamed Telegraph rushes to tho defense of the poor railroads, and declares that if them hove been any losses tho farmers themselves are to blame, since they followed tho advice of TfieCossTiTCTioxand tried toniako a lit tle extra money instead of following tho ad vice of tho Macon Telegraph—which would have hem directly the opposite of that of Tiir. Constitution in any event. Thus, It appeals, the truck farmers of tho stato have conspired against themselves ut the instigation of Tnr. Constitution and are now paying tho penalty of such folly. Ac cording to the steamed Telegraph, they are not only fools because they followed tho ad vice of Tub Constitution, but fools became they thought they could ship watermelons to northern mid western tnarkotsat a proflt. Following tho steamed Telegraph's logic tho imbecile truck farmers as well us Tim Constitution aro now Striving to lay tho whole matter at the door of the poor railroads, ns if these lonely and fricndleis corporations had not been pestered more than they deserved in hauling water melons and vegetables. Ilcnlly, tbo humor of tho steamed Tele graph bus its sinister side. It refehi Tub Constj i vtion ti nd Ih© farmers \o tho railroad coiiindfslon. and informs all mid singular, whomsoever it may concern, Unit the com mission ami not the rnilruudM make tho rates. 1’oor people! jioor railroads! with the big commfctimi grinding them nil in the dust! But before we give way to tears it may bo Well ’!o| sfalo that the complaint of tli&t fanners mid Tim Constitution is not again si tho rail loads of Georgia in par ticular, for wo believe it la gen erally agreed that our own roads have been reasonable in their charges. The difficulty, if we mistake not is with the lines with which Urn Georgia roads connect, and there is no ntncdy.for it, so far as wo know, tinier* an appeal to what may bo tormod tho selfish interests of the roads should be suc cessful. Unless such nn np]>cul is successful, n new Industry that may bo made profitable to th© farmers and to the railroads will linvo to be abandoned. Tin; Constitution made this statement lost year, und there has not boon season .since truck farming 1ms attracted the utt< nticn of our people that wo have not t< minded the ruiiruudsof the responsibility that mted upon them. Tho motto ot Mr. Fink, the great poul commissioner, is that railroads should cbgrge all n shipment will bear, and some of the railroads accept water* inelnrs for transportation with tho under standing on their part that they are entitled ! to every dime the melons will fetch in mar- | ket. This will do very well us long ns the ; fonneisnrc wHling to raise melon* forth© j benefit of the road*, bubit is nn enterprise i that cannot be kept up for many seasons, i A mini w In* is struck w ith a club generally i knew* where ho is hit, nod the j truck fanners of southern and south- ' western (hotgia seem to havo a clear uuder- | ft: mlir.g of the difficulties that stand in their j vuy.

THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATES. The Btainc organs which, a while ago, w«rc clrailng the decks for the purpose of wiping cut nil uppositiun with the plartt.»J Lniyht’s pertenat magnetism, are a ** en gaged in making s maguificunt protest against the prohibition campaign/ Tim New York Tribune fa especially nervous In regard to the nomination and cundidoey of Mr. St, John, of Kan*a«, and its mtcasincss cro;»s out in a plea for an abandonment of tho pr^lii tlon cause on the part of the republicjiij. l declares that “at ttteH t:rn*V’—meaning, of course, the urgency ot the Blatii i r.tuip ii^ft— ‘ even the most deserving issues are pu one side if they are advanced in an Impracti cal shape.” It continues; “Ifc is clear lo the unbiased observer that u prohibition ticket this year can only 1>e a device for nullifying all the votes caxt for it.” Undoubtedly the opening of the prohibi tion campaign with the entira-das.n which was manifested nt the convention recently held, is calculated to arouse the uHeaviness of the republicans, particularly fn view of tho fact that the Blaine boom hat ‘diwotvoJ into thin air. The organs are not only un easy, but fretful. They allude to prohibition as “a deserving cause,” hut think that the time lies arrived when the prohibitionist! should turn their attention to electing Mr. Blaine. The Nation appears to bo in Its customary rail, and the organs aro hopping around first on one foot and then on tin other, crying out for somebody to emn for ward with a rope or a plank and rescue it. The prohibition party nppeara to havo chosen its lime, with some judgment, and tin enthusiasm of those who nominated Mr. St. Jehu for prcfeMcut is undoubtedly hue! on the knowledge that their organ!cation will derive consderable advantage from the demoralized condition of the republican patty. There arc thousands of filthil re publicans who, while they will nut support Blaine, do not care to vote fjr Cleveland. There will cost their vote for the fit. Ju!m ticket. There arc thousands of republhant who would support Blaine if there were no prohibi I Ion ticket in the field. In sjtns of the states, tho zeal of the prohibitionUts h u been such as .to very nearly give tlura tho l a’flucc of power. In every state where tho prohibitionists have nrai'c gains, the repub licans bftve suffered proportionate Iosssj. The prohibition vote will he largest in the Btutcsof Wisconsin, Illinois, Oiiio, Tow.-i and Kansas, and while it may be too much to claim that the democrat* have a chance of carrying any of these except, perhapf, Ohio, it is not too much to say that the prohibition vote will make startling inroads upon the repiblican majorities. If, as is claimed, the Germans of tlye west and northwest prefer Ckvctnnd to Blaine, then the democrat* will t ot only carry Ohio, but have a tijhting chance in Wisconsin. It will thus be «?ceu that tho uneasincs* of tl.c republican organs witli respect to the prohibition vote is the natural outcome of a perplexing situation. • .THE BLAINE ASSESSMENT. Kfccw here wc print a circular that Uhdiir hum Jones, of the republican national committee, bo* earned to be sent to every cleric and every officer of the general government. ‘ Tint cir cular is not only a violation of public de cency, but it Is a violation of the Spirit if noA tho letter of tlio clvil-servlco act. Mr. B. If. Jor.cs, who Is a private citizen find, therefore, without tbe prohibitory clause of tint not, asks “every personi holding any.oflfoo, place orenipioynttnt under 1ha‘UnUod ; .Sc.TM,” t* rend him a sutnof money to go into a cam paign fund. Chairman Jones is known to be the favorite manager of James CL BUine. Tho presidential candidate gave hiui ohTrjo of Ills campaign. He selected him, although no one else had recommended lit in or thought of hith. An assessment of Cbairinnn Jons* is, therefore, a direct assessment of Candidate Blaine. Whatever moral diifurouco there is between the munner of forming a corrup tion fund, and sending a collector through the departments, book In hand, is, therefore, to the credit of the latter and to the shame of the new method. Tho circular notifies overy 'nppointoo of the government To shell out, and If tho donation is not tip to tho figures desired another circular will doubtless follow. A gigantic corruption fund is to bo for mod. Mr. Jones is to pass tho lint among tlio I’cnn- tylvrnia manufacturers who cling to tho re publican party, and bis clerks are to squooze all they can out of tho government officials. This course is rendered tho more imporativo by the fact that most of tlio Kcw York and Boston capitalists ii|H>n whom tlio republican party has heretofore heavily drawn in presi dential years, now refuse to respond except with u declaration in favor of T’lovelan l and llemlrieks. Tho Pittsburg manufacturers ami the poor clerks aro therefore to l*o worked j for all that ran bo wrung from them* So j wonder republicansnro leaving*tlio ranks in j large numbers. No wonder the college pro.fi- | denis and professors who have been life-long republicans see that uothiug short of a defeat will purify tho party. Under Blaine the lowest level lms been sought and found, uml men who unite intelligence with purity of ptirpon* refuse* to be dragged down to his level, and in tills way tho ranks of the inde pendent republicans are rapidly filling up.* Tho circular that wc print this morning is picof positive of nn intention to drag-net the cour>try for a fund to boused in buying voters, first in Ohio ami West Virginia, and then in the doubtful states. To a certain extent this conspiracy against the people is carried on shamelessly, and steps are taken and methods introduced tlmt would thirty years ago have staggered the country. But a long course of corruption andtliicanery have hardened tho puMic conscience, and the tMA*«sessleep, while only the thoughtful and sensitive revolt. Fortunately, the revolt from within is this year large enough Blender the methods of Mr. Blaine and of his tax collector at Pitts- btng very odious, and let us hope, disastrous. superseded by the new process of ring spin ning, and the latter is thought to be* dot nud by the Oldham In vention. The ring process does not spin a • yarn of uniformly good quality, owing to the variation of drag occasioned by the large J»r tn all diameter of tho cop, and the mule re quires lsrj,e and expensive mills—'vast spice j that ahrerb a great deal of money in con- stpuction, repairs ai>d taxes. The new inven tion meets both of these objections. It pro ceeds on the principle of tho discard© l thrrrtic, end its main principle, by which it premif rs to achieve a great diifiinotion in the cost of production, is (hat two turns of twist ore obtained, for every revolution of the spin dle. Kxtraordinory and even incredible as this may seem, it is said to lie accomplished by very simple mean?, the yam receiving tho first turn of twist in its passage from the front roller, and the second just before being wound on the cop, which revolves only at tho winding speed, and acquires just a sufficient amount of drag to answer the desired pur pose. The objection above* alluded to as at taching to the ring-spinning process and all inventions proceeding on that principle— nomely, the variations of drag and conse quent Inequality of tlio yarn—is obviated by a compensating arrangement, by which the difference of drag at the largo and small part of tl.o top is rectified. The “snarls” und “forkfcitws” which are of such frequent oc currence wheffr tho mulo is employed are thus rendered impossible. As the cop is finished tin* machinery can he stopped for doffing, the rail is lowered, all the cops ara pushed off together, the ends nre attached to Jhe spindle, tho raii is again raised an l the operator is ready to begin another cop. Like tbe Mason cotton picker, tho new spinning machine is as yet imperfect, but in its incompleteness it is said to have recftvel the commendation of the best spinning flUthoriiics in Lancashire. The Lancashire district is rejoicing, but whatever cheapens the-cost of production in Lancashire will cheapen it in A in erica/and whatever re duces the <ost of cotton goods throughout the TiOiId enlarges the market for our fleecy product. It is all grist to our mill. COLONEL HAMMOND S ELECTION. Itv r.* frequently said during tho canvass before the primaries in tho other counties be tween Jackson and Hammond that *o much bit tenters had been engendered that either would )>c beaten by nn independent when nominated. This Is nil foolishness. Colonel Hammond will rcredve the practically unanimous voto of the democratic convention of this district, and be will ho overwhelmingly elected. There is r.o reason why ho should not h?. He has made an exceptional congressman. Ilo Is able, honest and patriotic. Ho has made a strong fi.-ht for his place before democrats in their primaries, and ho lias won it. He Is entitled to tho vote of every democrat in the district. .Captain Jackson has set a fino example to hte friends. He rtated unhesitatingly, even In thc.Vcry hour of his defeat, that ho should earnestly support Upload Hammond. Ho has losti moro by the success of Colonel Ham mond tjhan any of bis friends can possibly jcibr They can certainly lie as warm in { Uprort.pf Colonel Hammond as lie is. , lyrJiSnOriiinginorodcmoralir.ingiii'pol- ^tics.tljn the {foiling of nominations fairly Amde, lie cause of personal prejudice or pro- erepce.j Wo had a personal preference for Jacksoit in this campaign that involved inching against Colonel 'Hammond. We were a terious to sco Jacks6n named by tbo prinftras. We are now much more anxious to ice Cwlohcl Hammond elected, without a struggle and by 10,000 majority. We shall certainly do our beat to bring this rosult about, and whether he is opposed by inde pendent or republican, we shnli bo found in the fro^t ranks fighting for Hammond and democracy. We hazard nothing in saying that tLe friends of Jackson will bo with us, and that the men who voted against Ham it or.*! iji the primary will voto Just as solidly for h'ni In tlo November election. ,Xh»T COTTON PICKING AND SPINNING. The inventions for unttlixing Hat cotton {n* multiply lug rapidly. Two of original an! daring designs are just coming before the pntdlc for tost and*possiblv for adoption. The first is Mr. Mason’s machine for cotton picking. Our readers wv familiar with his plans. Hi* machine has not been perfected, huj it i* so far advanced thst its uscfulJuciS will scon be ascertained. If th* picking ma chine can be operated to rulvantage, there is r.o counting Its effects upon tho cultivation of the plant; the crop would then be open to Indefinite expansion, and America would rcen drive all the other eotton-proJuclng countries to the wall. An invention of utmoet equal importance U reported frotu Knglatt I. An O id him in ventor hrs patented a machine which will, it tsilciiurd, Urgviy reduce die cost of spin ning. The cumbrous mule hod already been r ABOUT CANDIDATES.. JMlter Fntitt bos figured It upl and bo cm clud<s that Governor Benjamin Butlor, tho irtJI-fcrbwjj anti-fat greenback uindidato, is doomed to poll at least two million votes ut the touring presidential election. Without % pausing to consider whether this system is not equal to counting chickens before thoy nr«* hatched, Lkiltor Hana proccofs to cvi- gratulato Candidate fiutjer and tho country generally at tin’s nmrkc.l evidence of his won derful in Cue nee over the voting populace of this our native land. Wo are pained to learn, however, on look ing over the returns at present available, tliat Editor IHma gets his information in regard to Candidate Butler’s popularity from t!io ^•olmffns of John Kelly’s feebly-cmdacted organ. Iu fact Kditor Dana boldly credits John Kelly’s feebly-conducted organ with tho information, and then proceeds to c rai ment on it with tho Kerfotisness that charac terizes Swinton in the moment of nohh frttny when he is playiugfiy-loo iu Schwal*’- 1 beer saloon. On i)}e information^ therefore, of John Kelly's feebly conducted organ, Editor l)am allots to Candidate Butler tho sullm.res of two tniliicn voters, and own goes so far as to iutimate tlmt two millions is a very' moder ate calculation; adding to this startling .vi $- gcition tho comforting thought that “tho man who runs for office with such a support may well be proud of the fact, aud his chil dren may be prou&of it after him.” Considering that the two million voters which have attracted Editor Dana's atten tion exist only in the weak minds of those who edit John Kelly’s feebly conducted organ, we have no doubt tluit Candidate But ler’s children “may be proud of it after him,” to say nothing of his great-gran i-chll dren. A candidate who polls two milliro votes In the weak minds of those wha feebly foedurt John Kelly’s paper is entitled to (orgratulations, and wc are glad to sec that Editor Dana extend* Ms without Inquiring whether tbe returning board has been guilty of its whole duty or whether it has bc.-a sub sidised. Iu ibis connection'—to employ a phrntj w Licit Editor Dana lias made popular in thi < country—we observe a tendency on the part of the esteemed Pun to exalt Candidate Bnt’-?r in er e column and belittle Grover Ulcvehra I. The old wc man that klswsl the cow would find flttle or no objection to thi*. for she would naturally conclude that even an editor l.es tLc right to slobber a Httfo over a scrub cow if Lis Inclinations lead him th mat dircc- tic. But Editor Pans'* tastes, if not his judgment, ought to ho (■ really mjorlur to ihofo of tbe old woman. Uo ought U> know, and docs know, that Candidate Potior :ns reached high-water mark ns n professiond demagogue, and that hois no more t> he ! compared to no honest, coiissientlo-.H mn i like Grover Cleveland than Pors-y h n hi | compared to HoratioScyinour-to use nvim a little at random. Editor Dana announces that iic sincerely prefers Cleveland to Blame, not Merino Cleveland is qualified or deserving, but be came the republican party ought to go. At thesametime, Editor Dana is continually put ting Butler on the back, and tbe meaning of his caresses, as wc interpret them, U tiurt Butler would make the best prosiJeut of all. Well, eccentricity is a good thing in its place, end piquant out of its place, and it cannot bo denied that Editor Dona is piquant. The Instinct that bids us beware of demagogues informs us that Butler is worse than Blaine, bed as lJhunc*ts conceded to be; nn l if such a man os he can poll two millions of- vote*, it is time to put a few more trowels of mortar in [the pillars of the republic. If Editor Dnna really desires the republican party to come down and out, he should turn his at tention to electing the democratic candidate. That is the only remedy we know of for. bid government; the only way out of our politi cal trouble?. JUDGE LYNCH SUPERSEDED. Three weeks ago yesterday two brutal crimes against women were committed, tho one in Early county, and the other la Terrell ft isniy. In tlie former case tho alleged crim* ii oJ, a negro, was caught aud immediately J rrg to tlie nearest tree; in the latter case a ill fit rent course was pursued, although tho crime was as fiendish in the one case us iff the ether. In Terrell county Judge John T. Claikc caused a special session of the superior ccu»t to be held, and tlio prisoner, a negro, was duly brought to trial. He was in dieted iu due form, and two of the best lawyers in the circuit were assigned to him «» cjutuel. The case was tried, and ho is to be hinged during the present month. The crime was established and brought home to the pr.^ouer, end he will suffer the penalty on tlio day set. AYc hazard nothing in saying'tliat the Terrell county case will have a far greater inflnonce in preventing similar crimes than the hot hanging in Early county. The brief delay of the law, together with the certainty of dread punishment, will prove immeasurably more impressive and salutary. Jinlgi Clark has shown that tbo law is ample and equal tonny crime if properly and promptly ad ministered. In nn old state like Georgia, there is no reason for resorting to Judge Lynch's primitive code. We have judges, however, who should bo rciniiulml of tliuir duty in pressing emergencies. THE CROP OUTLOOK. No one in the south can well be downcast and discouraged if!.he .willstudy tho crop iv- lorts; for they nro eminently satisfactory, both as to food olid todasli traps. The wheat crop was an average one, .amt only A small percentage of it was lost during the rains of the harvest period 1’ the oat crap was a good ciipj and the corn cjp'p yi iJl almost certainly lc something gfoijfoji.s, Tliero will ho an abundance of cofirfroto’ 1 the gulf to tho fur-> thcrcMbounds of-the southern country. The" uctnt general raipHisrvHf removed all doubt on that score. Wt^vnjl buy some moat from the northwest, amLxqmefiour, but very little, if .Any, corn. Tl.o cotton or cash crapes promis’ng. Tho Egyptian crop Is”notr dqing well, aud the short crop of last fcummtr. lcftves tlio world.* in n condition to consume a good average ’crop. .JThe south will supply such a crop beyond a reasonable doubt. Thcio has been very dry weather in Texas, in nearly nil of tlio states tlio plant is u little lute, «mt in Georgia it is perhaps undersized,, but from all sections cy uo report! of clean fields, w ith plenty of bloom and fruit. The indications, in other words, arc that the south will rai.to just about the amount that a naked world' will urod. Neither will the crap bo mi cnor.nons one, nor will tho price bo below the rust of pro duction. The happy mean seem<< to luvo been hit this year, barring, of course, a dius- trous raid of the worm?, or an early fr >>». T’nder such circumstances the y?o;»lo of the tontli can well afford to laugh at the c.rator- tfons of tl,c New York llnaueit ra.
