Washington, Oct. 22, 1888.
Editors Union-Rkcorskr:
Speaker Carlisle, as lie dropped the
gavel which declared the House ad
journed sine die, wore a smile of
triumph that spoke louder than
words to his democratic colleagues; it
told them of the victory which the
House had won over the Senate, in
compelling the latter body to take
the initiatory in passing a resolution
for adjournment, after its republican
members had repeatedly stated that
unless the House started it there
would be no adjournment at all. It
has been a long session—the longest
by eighteen days io our histoiy—hut
the democrats have a right to feel
proud of the work they have accom
plished in the House. The Mills’ tar
iff bill of Itself is well worth all the
time that this long session has con
sumed. Members of the Senate, par
ticularly of its majority, cannot feel
pride in the work accomplished by
that body; It produced au alleged
substitute for the Mills’ bill, which it
did not dare to pass, although the
opportunity was accorded them on
the day it was first reported by the
Democratic Senators, who proposed
that the debate should be limited to
ten days. The republicans refused to
allow the debdte to be limited. Why?
because they did not wish the mon
strosity they had reported to pass; it
was like the tin torch and painted
transparency, only gotten up for
campaign purposes.
The quietness with which tho ad
journment was accomplished was un
usual. There was not a score of
members in either House when the
gavel fell, and the only notable oc
currence was the singing of the Dox-
ology in the press Gallery of the
House, by the tired newspaper men,
immediately after Speaker Carlisle
annqunced the adjournment. This
action was not intended to be irreve
rent, but was rather in the nature of
a spontaneous rendering of sincere
thanks for a much needed rest after
eleven months of continuous work
Senator Blaokburn, just before the
Senate adjourned, presented the iui
nority report of the committee ap
pointed to investigate the alleged
violations of the civil service law.
The report declares that an effort
had persistently been made by the
majority against the protest of tho
minority, to limit the inquiry to
the time covered by the present ad
ministration, and that all efforts to
bring out the facts as to the operations
of the law under previous republican
administrations, were invariably de
nled by a strict party vote. Despite
the efforts of the majority, it whs
clearly shown by the testimony of
several of their witnesses, that all the
evils and abuses complained of to.
day, came down to this administra
tion as an inheritance. The levying
of assessments upon Government of
ficials for partisan purposes, wus in
general, if not universal, practice pri
or to March, 1885, and discrimination
in the matter of appointments be
cause of political views was by no
means a novel feature, nor one which
has been introduced by the present
administration. The report devotes
more than fifty pages to a careful
analysis of the testimony taken,
which shows the majority of the com
mittee up in a manner that will not
add to their reputation as statesmen.
The last bill introduced in Congress
was one providing for a Constitution
al amendment, requiring United
States Senators to be elected by a di
rect vote of the people.
Mr. Cleveland has consented to go

crats, and good ones too. And they
will both be elected.
The sixty Sioux Chiefs who have
been here, have rejected every propo

Unusual efforts are be.iug made
here to send every democratic voter
in the doubtful States, who is tempo
rarily residing in Washington, home
to vote. Those who oannot afford to
purchase railroad tickets are furnish
ed free transportation.
The annual report of the General
Superintendent of the Railway Mail
Service, shows that the servloe is in
operation upon 143,713 miles of rail
road, and 5,972 miles of inland steam
boat routes. The total number of
clerks in the service Is 5,094.
An analysis of the Senate tariff bill
just completed, shows that if euacted

A Relic of Ye Olden Time.
A copy of tho Milledgeville Recorder
dated Jau. 14, 1842, was shown us
this week. The paper was addressed
to Dr. W. P. Haynes, Sandersville, and
wus still preserved by hia daughter
as a memento of the long ago. The
paper w&s clad in mourning for the
recent death of Its editor, Col. Thomas
Haynes, who was also at the time
of his death Treasurer of the State.
As this paper then did the public
printing, the columns were of very
wide measure, and were largely taken
up with the Acts of the legislature,
properly signed by C. J. McDonald,
Governor, W. J. Wofford, President
of Senate and Robt. ,T. Echols Speaker
of the House. Sheriff’s sales and legal
notices were published froui counties
all over the State, we noticed some
from Pulaski, Henry, Madison and
other counties. »
A quaint old advertisement of the
City Hotel Savannah arrested our
attention. It was set off with a cut
of a two and a half story house, with
chimney at one end, and travelers
were informed that a carriage would
be at the depot of the Central road to
take them to the hotel. Several pa
pers were called upon to copy the
advertisement four times and send
bill, and the Sandersville Telescope
was one of tho papers so named.
A prominent Sandersville advertise
ment also challenges attention. It
reads thus:
HEAD QUARTERS 2ND DIVISION, G. M.

Maj. Gen. 2d Division,
Those were days of musters, a word
that sounds strangely to modern ears.
Company musters or drills were then
kept up in the militia districts, euch
county was also regarded as a're
giment, consisting of two battalions,
and there were regimental musters of
the whole county, under command
of a real bona fide Colonel, and there
were batalliou musters, when so many
districts composing the hatallion
would drill, deploy and evoiute.
Ah! those were grand olcl days.
Many will remember those gallant
looking Colonels and Majors with
their black cockades and waving
plumes, their full military dress with
gilt or silver epaulets on their should
ers, their flashing round brass but-
Numbeb 17*
And after a little maneuvering, ye
gay and dnshing adjutant, and the
gallant major and the daring lieuten
ant-colonel, and the cool and, unless
his horse got soared by the fife, im
perturbable Colonel appeared on the
scene, and after giving orders to the
companies to form column, the com
mand was given, “Forward, tnareh,”
In stentorian tones, that bring up t»
the mind’s eye tho towering form of a
Washington, or the invincible Bona
parte, as they proudly headed their
heroic legions in the bloody days of
old. These troops then inarched out
and valiantly occupied some old field,
where after a few evolutions and rev
olutions, the portentous command
was given to “form double column,
open order, march," “Prepare for In
spection.” Thep ye gallant Colonel
and staff or the Major-General and
staff with headH uncovered rode
through the columns and inspected,
so to speak, the anus of the regiment.
The pomp, pageantry and para
phernalia were immensely augment
ed when there was a Brigade or. a
Division muster, or a generahreview.
To see a Major-General and all cf
his staff in their dashing; flashing
uniforms, with their white, black, red
and blue plumes waving In beauty
from their fleroe looking oockadeg,
and thus as they dashed proudly by
to hear the inspiring notes of a
brass band in full chorus, all made a
sight that the average country boy
never has forgotten.
The re-picturing of these scenes of
tho past, will be pleasant and grate
ful memories to the older class of our
readers, while tbelr quaintness we
hope will interest with the charm of
novelty the young readers of the
Herald.—Sandersville Herald.
The Central Sold.
Tiie Central railroad of Georgia has
been sold to the Richmond anU West
Point Terminal Company. It is not
known if there will be any change ia
the officers. From lengthy telegrams
from New York, on Tuesday, the fol
lowing is condensed : Tho Richmond
Terminal Company to-day consider
ed a proposition from the holders of
the Georgia Central stock to buy con
trol of that property. An option had
been given on the entire stock of the
Georgia Central, and it was deckled
ufter a short session to buy oontroL
A committee consisting of John S.
Moore, John H. Hall and W. 8. Chis
olm was appointed to arrange the
transfer of the property. Almost the
entire capital stook of the Georgia
Central is controlled by the Georgia
company, which was organized for
the purpose, and by purchase of the
Georgia company’s stock the Rich
mond Terminal will add 2,500 miles of
the road to their system, making the
mileage for the Rlohmond Terminal
about 9,000 miles. The parties to the
deal say tho sule was forced on the
syndicate holding the stock, apd the
parties who bought it at the time
General Alexander was elected presi

tons in double rows on their closely
buttoned coats, with the breast front
covered with bull cloth and a broad
stripe of the same running down to
their massive boots. Conspicuous al
so in this grand tout ensemble was
the bright red sash worn around the
waist, and the leathern girdle with
its broad buckles to which was grace
fully suspended a bright scabbard,
while the gallant commander grace
fully bore his bright gleaming sword
in his right hand a la militarle, or
waved it in triumph, while dashing
at the head of his columns on his
spirited charger.
To crown all this “pride and pomp
andciroumstance of glorious” muster,
the inevitable and irrepressible fife
and kettle drum sound on the air, and
little negroes, boys and even iuen>
would rush pell mell, belter skelter to
catch up with that music, while wild
horses would break bridles and
stampede, and lively and hilarious
times ruled the hour.
The active orderlies would call out
“Fall in, men,” and the Captains
would Bound out “Right dress,” and
then pleasantly bat sternly explain,

The Supreme Court of the United
States on au Iowa Appeal.
Washington, October 22.—The su
preme court to-day sustained the con
stitutionally of the prohibition law
of Iowa. The point at issue wss
the right to manufacture intoxica
ting liquors solely for exportation
to other states, despite the state law,
and it was pleaded that the prohibito
ry feature, in so far as the manufac
ture for the expotation is concerned,
was in conflict with the constitutional
provision giving congress the sole
right to regulate interstate commerce.
The case is that of J. 8. Kidd, distiller,
plaintiff in error, vs. I. E. Pearson and
8. J. Loughras.
The court holds that the state law
prohibiting both the manufacture
and sale, except for mechanical, medi
cinal and saoramental purposes, is not
in conflict with the interstate com
merce provisions of the constitution
and the deoislon of the Iowa court is
sustained. Opinion by Justice Lamar,'
Large sales indioate the merits of
good articles. Druggists sell more
of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrnp than of all
other remedies for the cure of baby
disorders. _
