Judge Spbeb, (of the United Stares
Court) thiuas he will hold a court in
Savannah,commencing 9tb ot March.
The disturbances among the labor
ers Ot the great establishments 01
the East and West, are still unset
tled. Riots and the threat of riots
are alarmingly frequent and serious
disorders may occur at any hour.
The happiest loosing mao that we
have met lately, was our friend
Bevlls, of the Greenville Vindicator.
He is the picture of good health,
good feeling and good digestion, and
his sterling paper shows that he can
do good work. »
It is rumored in railroad circles
that Major Campbell Wallace, of ( th'
Geogia Railroad Commission, will
retire from that position at an early
day and become the General Mana
ger ot the Queen and Oresent system.
It this is true his retirement will be
quite a loss to his associate commis
sioners.
An astronomical wonder will be
noted in Washington on next Wed
nesday. The rising and the setting
suns will be in the same circle for
some hours. President Arthur and
President-elect Cleveland will ride in
the same carriage from Mr. Cleve
land’s hotel to the Capitol, where the
inaugural ceremonies will take place.

Mbs. J. L. Suluvan, wife of the
Boston bruiser and champion slug
ger wants a divorce. But Mrs. John
L,Bullivan once wanted Mr. Sullivan.
They were married about two years
ago. This shows now peoples’
notions change, and her notions may
change again within the coming two
years, and she may want to be Mrs.
J. L, Sullivan again.
In an election in Clark county, for
prohibition the other day. John
Barleycorn was beaten by a clean
majority o£ 571. Tne town of Athens
gave a majority of 859 for prohibition
but the moral precints did not keep
up with the procession. If the wavr
continues to wave, It will not be long
before Georgia will be a temperance
State, and made so by the loerl
option votes of the people.
Afteb the Ist of July next, pustag'
on ail kinds of mail matter will be
reduced. It will be reduced on first
class matter by allowing greater
weight to go in one envelope than at
present for one postage. News
paper postage will be reduced from
two cents per pound to one cent.
News papers should be made free,
but a reduction of 59 per cent will do
to start on. j
The Anniston Hot Blast says that
the Express Company will test the
constitutionality of the act of the
Legislature of Alabama, which pro
hibits the carrying of liquor in jugs,
&c., into Calhoun county. The
company will contend that they can
not know what is in a sealed package
and have no right to break it to find
out its contents. They will continue
the delivery until this question is
settled by the courts.
A Lively demand was noticed in
certain localities of the city yester
day for dirt, but not for real estate.
A lot of the Cincinnati Enquirers
with the Macon scandal was received
here, and sold so fast that it made
trie vendor’s head swim. It looks
queer that knowing that the slander
ous letter had made so many people
mad, so many other people should
be so anxious to read it. It
looks as it the people generally are
willing to become mad.,

Mr. Randall, the staff correspon
dent of the Augusta Chronicle
writing from Waanington, says:
“lime will prove, I think, that Sena
tor Brown acted wisely in tne Speer
affair. About two years ago, in the
teeth of his party, and in opposition
to other Democratic Senators, he
cast bis single vote against making
Neil Brown clerk of the Senate. This
exasperated some persons, but it
Saved every Democratic officer and
employe from discharge. The wis
dom of his action was felt immediate
ly alterward. Unless 1 am very much
mistaken, his vote for Speer will be
the means of saving many of Presi
dent Cleveland’s Southern appoint
ments from rejection. So, let us wait
and see. I know that some Senators,
who have not the same tenacity of
purpose and mastery of their own
souls, are already content enough to
hope that the whole matter may be
dropped. And perhaps that is the
best now."
Or all the Georgia papers with
which we exchange, only one (the
Ausgusta Chronicle) openly sustains
Senator Brown in his support of
Emory Speer for judge. The Atlanta
Constitution and the Columbus Times
do not seem to take any positive
stand editorially, and all the other
Georgia journals received by us are
outspoken in opposition to the course
of Brown andin support of Col
quitt.—Rome Courier.
The Columbus Times did not want
Mr. Speer confirmed—nor did the
Times want any other Republican
confirmed—but as between Republi
can applicants, the Times preferred
Speer to any of them. We never felt
a doubt but Mr. Arthur was determin
to fasten a Republican judge on
Georgia and If that was his wish he
had the power in the Senate to ac
complish it. The vote to be given by
our Senators on that nomination was
a matter, purely of judgem ent, and
that they differed cannot surprise
any one —but who shall say that
either of them voted wrong?

Constitution.
The post-office appropriation bill,
us passed by the House, reduced let
ter pdstage by makli g a two-cent
stamp cover an ounce instead of half
.n ounce; and newspaper postage
was reduced from two cents a pound
W one cent a pound. All first-class
matter. Including heavy parcels, w is
reduced one-half. Second-class mat
ter w is not reduced when 2 cent post
age was inaugurated, and the friends
of newspapers very naturally thought
here should be some reduction in
newspaper postage when another cut
was made in letter postage. The
House thought so too. but when the
bill went to the Senate and was re
ferred to thecommittee on postofficee
and post-roads. It came out shorn
of tne newai aper reductions.
But when the bill was con
aidered in the Senate they were
ail restored, after a debate in which
several Senators showed their hands.
Senator Miller, of New York, appear
ed as the champion of the news
papers. He makes pulp for them,
and Is, therefore, a natural liiend of
free circulation, especially if he can
name the price of his own commod
ity. But he stood up bravely at any
rate for the newspapers. Mr. Saule
lury, of Delaware, opposed the
proposition out and out, and several
other Senators did not take to it very
warmly. But the proposition as it
came from the house was adopted,
thus reducing postage on all second
class matter, including sample copies,
to one cent a pound. Nur is there to
be any increase of postage on ac
count of marked articles for obser
vation. This reduction of postage
does not go into effect until July 1.
General Grant’s Ir'a'ady.
Philaddphia, February 27.—A spe
cial to the 'limes from New York,
based on reliable mrdieal authority,
says notwithstanding the rose-col
ored report of Genera! Grant e
health, recently given In the Medical
Journal, the tiuth is that Genera;
Grant is a v»ry sick man, and his
death is apparently not far distant.
The public have no conception of till
- nattered condition of his physical
system. It. la hoped that the affection
of the tongue may not prove fatal,
but there la as yet no appearance
'hat it Is not the d veloptnent
ot a malignant and fatal
lisease. Although somewhat better
now than some weeks ago. the en
larged tongue continues p aring it
painful to speak or swallow. Fluids
are the only nourishment he can
take. In addition to this distressing
malady ihe general is a terrible sui
farer from neuralgia, and it seems to
’•rave taken possession of his whole
system. He has had most of his
teeth drawn to lessen the neuralgic
torture, and his injury in the hip
caused by his fail a year ago, is still
a source of great suffering, and for
bids all physical exercise. It is a
fact that no longer Is concealed from
the country tnat General Grant is
rapidly breaking down, and appar
ently without hope ot reaction, and
unless there should be some unex
pected relief, he will not be long
among the living.
He is wonderfully patient and un
complaining, and he profoundly ap
preciates the expressions of sym
pathy which have been called by his
recent misfortunes. He works every
lay, with bandaged bead and in un
remitting pain, to finish his military
autobiography, his history of the
war, and hopes to complete It this
spring. The first volume is entirely
finished, but not revised, and the
second volume is more than h .If
done. He has not taken time to re
vise the first volume, because of his
apprension that he may not b : able
to finish tne second.
