Da. Bcchabb, who killed Blaine, as f
wußcbaiged.with bls cudgle of Rum, ,
Rebellion and Romaniam, baa been
relieved from pastoral dutiee by the t
Murray Hill church in New York. t
Financial ahortneek of hh church Is t
given aa the reason of his dismissal. <
Thb reports from Washington are (
to the effect that the proceaa of office <
filling goes onalowly. Tosometem- <
perament it may seem queer that Mr. ,
Cleveland and his cabinet are not
more impaitent than they are to
“turn the rascals out,” and in the
otner Helds, but so it is—they go slow,
and if unwisely they may correct er
rors before harm is done.
Tub head of the Selma Mail man is
balanced on a line that corresponds
just exactly with our views of the
proper level. He does not think
much of Lula Hurst, or any other
electric woman, as a do
mestic household appurtenance.
Plain women, who have no ambition
for show life, or for strutting the
stage, are the wives, mothers and
idols of the world, and but for them
the world would not be fit to live In.
Thb advice is given by nearly every
newspaper m au.ln the state to the
farmers to “plant more corn.” It
farmers would oonelder that every
bushel of corn that be buys is loaded
with a charge of from fifteen to twen
ty-five cents railroad freight, and
that it must be paid with cotton mon
ey, when the cotton was in most
cases raised at a loss, we think the
advice would be more generally fol
lowed.

A ODkiiKNT item says Mary Ander
son became so indignant because
people stared at her in church, that
she had to Change her place of wor
ship. Poor sensitive creature! One
would think being stared at on the
stage for three or four hours every
night for ten or fifteen years would
have accustomed her to indifference
to the gaaers. The only way we can
see to accomodate the delicate uervoe
of the fastidious lady is to put, her
doorkeeper at the cuuiou and collect
the usual price of admission. Lx.
Thb new secretaries In the presi
dential cabinet are clearing out a
goodly number of dead-head hangers
on, and are selling off all the un
necessary horses, carriages and other
things, costly without a correspond
ing utility. I'be president is report
ed to have stopped a large number ot
newspapers that have been sent to
the white house and paid tor out ol
the contingent fund. He says he will
subscribe for and pay tor such papers
as be wants. Mr. Cleveland evident
ly considers the government, a great
working machine, and the workers
will have no time for foolishness.
Govsbnob Mabtim, of Krnsae, bus
signed the now temperance bill,
which contains a provision investing
the county attorney with all the
power of a grand Jury, whereby citi
zens arc required to appear oeforu
him and testify on outb iu regard to
their knowledge ol the purchase a d
suie of liquor. Upon refusal to do so
the county attorney cab commit them
for contempt. He becomes both the
judge and prosecuting attorney, and
is allowed a tee ot $25 tor each con
viction. The provision is unequaied
iu its stringency,and ex rites the bit
teroat uppasituu of the auu-pionibi
tiouists.

To CAirn the standard silver dollar
“a fraudulent coin,” is an imperil
neuoe, a misuse ot language, and be
trays gross Iguorinoe ot financial
history. From 1760 to 1873 the silver
iu a silver dollar waa-worui more, as
a marketable value, than too gold in
a gold dollar. Io 1793, upon the
passage ot the original coinage net,
the “Spanish muled dollar,” 1124
graine dftlae silver, was made tne
unit of value in our money. Every
bond or other promise to pay loauua
by the government up to 187.1, was
based on and guaged by .that measiu e.
How, then, can it be iu the nature ol
fraud to insist that the unit be retain
ed until all dents it measures are
paid? There was no gruwi that the
gold dollar was “a fraud,” though its
market value never equalled that ol
the silver dollar, for more than one
hundred years, the two circulating
together in every coinage oi civilized
men.
Thb failure of Mr. Elias Heiman,
of the Southern agricultural works
in Atlanta, was au uuiurtunate om
tor the industrial interests of that
city, if not of the state. Mr. Haiman
oommeneed the manufacture of agri
cultural Implements uu a moderate
scale in this city a number of years
agu,anduis suoooaa was so marked
that be felt that be needed a center
for manufacture and a wider field fur
distribution, and to find these be
went to Atlanta and established bis
works. This move was made some
nine or ten years ago, and after build
ing a fine eatabasament tor bis busi
ness and making it one of the most
useful enterprises in the city,
trouble has come upon him, and he
finds it beat to make an assignment
tor the safety of stockholders and
creditors. Hie showing of debts and
aaaetts, as published in the Constitu
tion, should give creditors no un
easiness, since the assets amount to
$300,078.11 to meet debts aggregating
$197,600. We notice this assignment
With sincere regret, for we always
feel grieved to see enterprises so use
ful to the people at large fail of suc
cess. when established among us.
AOtruvk' i»v PHonueriov.
Henator Gibson, of Dmisiana,
thinks the southern situation has
been painted with too much rose
color. He says our people oannot
and do not get rich on old lints of
agriculture, and that the negro and
plough mule are no longer the in
. remeuts of wealth. Manufacturing
and mining are the real sources of
fruitful production, and poor indeed
will we be it neglectful ot them.
Agricultural labor, after all, is the
basis ot the wealth of state. The cul
tivation ot cotton brings into Ala
bama not less than fifty, millions ot
dollars a year. This amount is far
greater than our receipts from all
other sources. But here, where the
cultivation ot the cereals cannot
compete with that of the west, it is
very certain the great sources ot
wealth will very soon be found in
manufacturing and mining. The out
put from these sources will leave cot
ton far in the rear in a tew years.

The postoffice appropriation bill
contains considerable legislation be
yond tne items ot appropriation. Io
the first place the weight ot single-?
rate letters is increased from one
half of an ounce to an ounce —in
other words, double the amount of
letter matter will b > carriel.after the
’ first day of July for two cents. At
, present if a letter weighs more than
I naif an ounce, it requires tour cents;
t under the new law, a letter must
weigh over an ounce before two
stamps are needed.
Tne reduction in the postage of
newspapers is tqually Important, At
present newspaper matter has to pay
two cents a pound ; after July let all
I newspapers sent from the office of
publication, including sample copies.
I or when sent Uoin a news agency
■ to actual subscribers, or to other
, news agents, are to pay
, one cent a pound, the postage to be
. prepaid. Further than this, any ar
ticle In a newspaper may be marked
for observation, except by written or
, printed words, without increase ot
. postage.
Another section of the bill provides
. for a special stu i pot the value of
, ten cents, widen “when attached to
a letter, in addition to the lawful
postugc, shall entitle the letter to
immediate delivery at any place con
, tainiug 4,000 population or over, ac
cording to the fed»r«l census, witbio
the currier limit of anv free delivery
office, or within one mile of the poat
oflle, or any other postoffice coming
within the provisions of this law
widen may, in like manner, be
designated as a eoeclal delivery
office: that such specially stamped
letters seail Le delivered between 7
o'clock a. m., and midnight; that a
book shall be provided in which the
person to whom the letter is ad
dressed shall acknowledge its receipt;
that messengers for mis special de
livery are to be paid 80 per cent of
the face value of all the stamps re
ceived end recorded In a month,
provided that the aggregate compen
sation paid to any one person for ser
vice shall not exceed S3O per month ;
and provided, further, that the regu
lations tor the delivery of these
specially stamped letters shall in no
way interfere with the prompt de
livery ot letters us provided by exist
ing Inw and regulations.”
The advocates of the special stamp
feature predict it will increase the
revenue ot the department, and it is
believed that none ot the reductions
of postage will materially decrease it.
The people will sanction the reduc
tions in both letter and newspaper
postage.—Constitution.

Death of Dr. Thomas P. Janes.
Augusta (JUroutole.
Ghkbnhbobo, Ga„ March 10.—Dr.
i Thomas F. Junes died at ins resi
dence, about seven miles from
Greensboro, tnis evening. About 12
o'clock the bauds working on bis
, farm found him lying in the field iu
, an uuoouscioue condition. They re
moved him to bis home, but be died
before medical assistance could reach
him. The report Is he died from an
1 overdose of morphine, but wuetber
i administered with uu inteut to kill
uimself is not Known. Dr. Junes has
boon suffering lor eomu time from
nervous affection, brought on by fi
nancial anxiety, and it is thought
, that be took moipbino to ease bis
ueives Dr. Janes was fotmerly a
1 wealthy man, but has been very un
-1 fortunate, and m a lew years has lost
mucu money, although bis property
, is still estimated as being worth from
$25,000 to $30,000. He was at one
■ time commissioner of agriculture for
I Georgia, and was a man who has
done much to advance the interests
of the State. He was a kind and
affable gentleman, ar d a man of large
, experience. His death will be felt in
, the county aud will cause much re
gret.
