Ten thousand acres of rice were overflowed on the Savannali river above the city of Savannah. Represenatative Mills was received with much enthusiasm at Boston, and addressed ten thousand people on the tariff. He wae loudly applauded. Tammany Hall, the most venerable Democratic organization, is leading the war against the trusts in New York. General Roger A. Pryor pros ecuting attorney against them, is em ployed by Tamanny. The San Francisco Report says that the Republican papers of its city keep Harrison in the baca ground as much as possible in their political dis cussions and reports, and dwell with much enthusiasm on the utterances of Blaine and honors shown him. The Herald, World and Times, the three leading dailes in the city of New York, speak of the President’s letter of acceptance in most exalted terms. The Herald and'Times are independ ent in politics. It is thought Minister Lawton will be raised to the vacant Russian min istership. The rank and pay are bet ter, but Vienna is a more delightful residence and far more safe to a man of General Lawton’s years. A Republican Millionaire named Bags, and a New York Manufacturer of New York State, has been convert ed to Cleveland and lias sent $10,000 to the Democratic campaign Commit, tee. That’s the way to bang the Mo nopolists. Two sisters in Atlanta; who married two brothers on the same day, sued for a divorce from their husbands on the same day, last week.

Mr. Blaine having spiead himself in the endeavor to carry Maine by the usual majority, will now take a rest ing spell, and will go to New York about the end of the month. Nobody has ever heard him express a willing ness to meet Mr. Carlisle on the stump. It gives us pleasure to copy from the New Orleans Daily States the follow ing allusion to a worthy Georgian, whose honorable record and deserved promotion will be gratifying to many friends in his native state : “Mr. Adison F. Barnett, of the Queen aud Crescent route, 1ms been officially notified of his appointment as divis ion freight agent of that road. Mr. Barnett’s record as a railroad man is one of which he can be justly proud. He began in the business in Novem ber, 1879, as night watchman of the N. C. and St. L. Railway, at Chatta- ] nooga ; was promoted within two j months’ time to the responsible posi- I sion of through record clerk, keeping 1 the’ records of all through business, i He remained in this position until Oc- | tober, 1881, when he accepted a simi lar position with the Western and At lantic Railroad, and after one year’s service in that position he was made chief clerk, where be remained until November, 1884, when he was appoint ed contracting agent for the Mobile and Ohio and Georgia Pacific roads witli headquarters in New Orleans.— In June, 1880, Mr. Barnett was ap pointed contracting agent of the Queen and Crescent system, which po sition he held until liis advancement on August 12th to the position of di vision freight ugent. Mr. Barnett lias many warm personal friends in this city and his winning ways and strict attention to business has won him wide recognition as an efficient official among the basiness community of New Orleans. Mr. Barnett is an edu cated gentleman, and is descended from a noted and aristocratic south ern family, he himself having been born in Milledgeville, Ga. His father bus recently received renomination as Secretary of State of Georgia, which position he has held almost consecu tively since 1843. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. The iDempci’fttic State conven tion met at Springfield, Mass., on the 5th. Tho platform has the ring of the true metal. It stands firmly by President Cleveland and the principles of the Demo cracy. It speaks of President Cleveland as having wisely, faith fully and successfully discharged the duties of his office as the President of the United States, says: “His administration has been honest, clean aud free from scandal in all its departments, that, by carrying out the financial policy 01' tho Democratic party, lie lias pec tired tranquility and confidence to tho business of tho country; • that in enforcing the foreign policy of tho Democratic party he has been firm and judi cious, conservative and pacific, dignified' and courageous, that his use of the power of removal and appointment vested in him has been free from partisanship, and behoving that tho continu ance of his administration would be for the best interests of the people, securing to them the blessing'of peace, prosperity aud good government, at home, and full respect for their rights by foreign powers, and pledge our most earnest and strenuous ef forts to insure his re-election.” A few words about the Vice- Presidential candidate. Believing that our National experience lias shown the un wisdom of placing in tho office of Vice-President, men, whose direct nomination for the chiof magis tracy of tho nation would not be previously proposed, we rejoice in the ^election made at St. Louis, of Allen G. Thurman as the . nominee for that position. The extent of 1 his public experi ence, his high ability as a jurist and his rank as a statesman of the first order, his personal char acter, i vike his candidacy not simply strong ih itself, but es pecially strong by contrast with the Republican nomination for the same high office, and to the illustrious Democrat of Ohio, “the noblest Roman of them all,”' we also pledge our heartiest sup port. Believing that tho Republican party is seeking the suffrages of the people for its candidates by dishonest cries, and fraudulent representation concerning the central issue—the question of tax reduction and tariff revision, we submit to the popular judgment this clear statement of the Dem ocratic party touching that issue. Believing that all unnecessary taxation is simply robbery from tho people under forms of law, we demand a reduction of the present war rates to such points as will leave in the pockets of the people one hundred millions a year that are now being taken there from without reason or justice, and locked in idleness in the Treasury vaults in Washington.” Wo have been led to copy this tion of tho Republican Sonate. The platform sonds greeting to Gladstone, Charles Stewart Par nell and their co-workers in the cause of Irish homo rule, wish ing them a speedy victory and renewing to them the assurances of their profound sympathy and of all tho support which it is in their power to give them. They favor the enactment of more stringent measures for the better protection of the wage-earners of the United States. Our Popular Literature. It is not a good sign when the wri ters of America, who have made the literature of this country so renown ed in the middle half of this century, prose and poetical, such as Irving, Cooper, Saxe, Hawthorne, Gfllmore Simms, Mrs. Sigournoy, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, Amelia Welby and others not less brilliant and puro are tossed aside by tho young reader, male and female, and those of tho Rider Hag gard and Stevenson stamp among male writers, and Ouida and Amelia Rives of the other sex, spught out with a hunger unappeasable. How few of our young peoplo of this day road Irving, Cooper and Simms? Or Scott, Goldsmith, Dickons and Thaclc- erry? These writers are not sensa tional enough for their abnormal ap petites. A country’s literature is a good index of its moral and political growth and stability. Wo all know wlmt sort of literature was popular in France just before and during the French Revolution in 1792. In Queen Elizabeth's time, tho Golden Age of English literature, with a liberal li cense of licentiousness, tinctured with grpssnessand vulgarity, allowed at Court, that great sovereign by her excellent taste and masculine under standing kept the literature of the times clean. The Burloighs, Raleighs, and Sydneys illustrated the manners of her Court, and though gallantry put on rather extreme sentimental airs, she hud no clowns and drunk ards, and libertines about her, Buch a3 disgraced her predecessor's reignJ Our young women with such a m3 ble mom asTIff.’ 4 -Clovet&mCouf “ first lady, ought to elevate their standard to hers, and not wander off after such questionably decent types as Ouida and Amelia Rives. Birmingham Quarantines against Decatur. Birmingham, Ala., September 12.— A. D. Spencer, friut dealer at Deca tur died yesterday with black vomit, having been sick only a short time. Local physicians declared it was not yellow fever, but Dr. Jeiome Coch ran, president state board of health, was summoned, and after examina tion of the body declared tho disease yellow fevor. A consultation of four teen physicians there lasted until 11 o’clock. Five of them, including Cochran, decided it was a case of yel low fever, while nine local physicians said it was not. This city quarantin ed against Decatur to-night. Four hundred people left there to-day. Amelie Rives Chandler is at work upon another drama, which will be given to the world early next year. It is entitled “Ethelwold,” aud the scene is laid in England just prior to much of the platform of the dem- tlie rei 8 n of Henr y IL Beyond this ocrats of Massachusetts because . wol *h ^ r8> Chandler says she has no of the force of its reasoning and plans “but will naturally continue to the strength aud elegance of its wnte - language. This is only a part of the platform. It goes on to speak of the benefits that will occur from placing wool on the free list, which will enable tho woollen manufacturers to compete with all foreign rivals and give more work and better wages to the woollen workers. It goes on to show how greatly the cheapen ing of salt, lumber, and other ar ticles and staples, will make lighter the task of all working men especially those who have families and how absurd it is to give the people cheap whiskey and other liquors. It denounces “trusts” and monopolies sustain ed and cherished by high tariffs, and would thus guard the people from their evil and oppressive influences. It upholds our great and just President in Ins efforts to protect and defend our New England fishermen in all their just rights, withheld by the ac- Sotne time since First Lieutenant O. T. Kenan, of the Southern Cadets, resigned the office. The Cadets refus ed to accept the resignation and have prevailed on their excellent lieuten ant, who is one of the best drilled men in Georgia, to retain the lieutenancy, at least for the present.

Nkw York, September 12.—Profes sor Richard A. Proctor died at 7:1B this evening with black vomit, at th»- Willard Parker hospital, on Six teenth street, this city. Professor Proctor had an obaerr»- tory at Oak Lawn, Marion oountjr* Fla., and he resided there with family. He intended to go to Euroyw and arrived here last Monday, havxac already engaged passage on tlvfc steamer sailing next Saturday- He- stopped at an up-town hotel, name of which is suppressed by t2»e- board of health. He usually stops »£ the Westminster while in this city. On Monday evening he complaint^; of feeling ill. As he had been tn>«- bled witli Bright's disease for soant' time, his symptoms were attribotvifii to this disease. Physicians vrsitii*^ him thought he would be about «w. Tuesday. He siopt at the hotel. Ost- Tuesday, however, he became woiwr and|begau to show symptoms of yel low fever. As the day wore on tihi- symptoms became more marked no doubt was had of the nature of tlwr disease. It was then decided to ifr move him to North Brothers IslaneS^ but it stormed so hard that it w«F subsequently considered imprudessS to remove him so far and he was rv- moved to the hospital mentioned. 'Fitee board of health' was not informed «i! the case until to’-day, when it caused a consternation in the office. Every thing in the apartment he had orwie pied was destroyed and his room (xsif halls were thoroughly fumigated. President Bayliss decided to kocj the office of board of health open to night for fear of any further casis*. Dr. Bayliss, however, says that tkn efforts of the department will prooa bly prevent the spread of the disea.s*- In case of an outbreak of fever Iws Bald lie was prepared to accommodate many hundreds of patients on Norrtu Brothers Island, but he feared nr Bucb outbreak. Prof. Proctor was about 55 years- age and robust. He said there ImmI: been no yellow fever in the part country he hkd come from, and lie- prod unable to acoount for his attack. — - * *W9JaAKGIBR FKARBD. The health officers here are con ft dent that they can battle successfully with the disease in any event. The’j deny that there are any grounds tas popular apprehension, even shou-UI other cases be imported from lb* south. The machinery of the board is irf good order and could liandi* several cases without inconvenience. No danger from exposure could resulfc from the removal of patients. “The- city,” said President Bayliss, of ttxy~ health board, “is in no danger.” Professor Proctor's remains wert- placed in ft metallic coffin, acconliwgr to tile rules of the board of health, that there can be no danger fi-oaos burial in any burial ground. Every thing in the hotel room where Prof. Proctor stopped has been removeti. upholstery, carpets, bedding, and nil places thoroughly cleaned and. the room nailed tight. Health officinb claimed that more precautions went taken than were necessary, and ISr. Adson said that he would not few: afruid to sleep in the room hiinse*it£. to-night. Room was also thoroughiy disinfected. President Bayliss s: there was not another case known i»- suspected in tho city - of yellow lev** at present, but that in view of tlie ar rival every day of refugees from tbe- south, doctors could not be tor. prompt in reporting all suspicious cases. Everything depended up<MR quick and energetic work. Mr. Glessner has gone over Indiana with his Georgia exhibit car, and is showing at the Fort Wayne fair what this state can produce-. The Sentinel, of that city, in speak- of the exhibit, says it is not only a great feature of the fair, but one «Ct the finest exhibits ever seen in tbat section, and alone is xvortli the price of admission to tlie fair grounds.
