EDITORIAL COMMENT. Mft—MB wpw \r• IW—ww -vmnr~m. nniM’iri.jraij Congressman S. S. Cox died of Lean trouble, 3Oth inst., in N. Y. Tho po i-t and uliftt in the election fr C it 11 . in tiii'-dstiict will be a beat od one. Se.cvd prominent man's arc mcitt ioued. llsrri'C'ii o *ul! conunnmg bis t ur and, at last account*, had just arrived in New Y.uk. The office rockers’ pa tience, ere this baa grown impatient. Jno. L Sullivan ins aEiiounced for Congress. Boston will now have a chance to show her pat-pugilist how much sho esteems his power as fit far a representative of the Massachusetts goddess of liberty. Helena, Montana, suffered much loss of iife and property from for est fires Sfh inst. Over $1,000,000 worth ®f property was destroyed. The fames were the fiercest ever known in Montana. Tho Cokiey ranch was made a barren waste in less than thirty minutes. The newspapers ot Georgia contin tie their opinions ot the Hoff and pat tersou duel. Mr Buff and Patterson have submitted their grievances to a committee of twenty one of the legisla ture for arbitration. Mr. Buff says he will abide by tho decision of the committee, whatever it bo. Mr. Pat terson, of course, if not honor bound, must submit likewise, though he has indicated uothing to the contrary. It aeomj that the sentiment f>r higher education is gaining grouad in th® legislature. Itis claimed that the negroes are getting ahead of th© whites in the matter of educa lion, and that unless liberal appro priations are made for the Univer sity, it will soon collapse. Vv e would b® willing for the Uuiversi j ty to have a goodly share of the state’s money, if they would eshib jish t high school in every county of the state for white children. Sen. Brad well's bill, providing for six months’ schools passed the senate last week. It went through with a whocp and a rush, and if it had been in the power of tins sen ate to have appropriated the earn ings of the state road, it would have doubtless, passed, but as all appro priations must originate in the house*, that body will insert the amount appropriated, as na amend ment. It is thought the house will pass the bill directly. This begins to look like education for the mass es. I; will be gratefully received. The II un-Patterson Duel. Perhaps the most disgraceful oc currence that has taken placa in 1 lie legislature for several years, is the recent attempt of tho two re preseutatives of Bibb county, to ea gag iu a duel. The people of Ma .oll and Bibb county should as semble in mass-meeting and re , ■;est these two blood-thirsty re presentatives to resign. It is not c nly a disgrace to the country, but • the entire stata. The members ot the legislature of a great stale like Georgia, should be moral,law abiding n cn, ar.d conservators of and lie p . a hd good order. Ja of teso: '.i.': *o the cede for iu? ft.fon.v dr did trances, they n;;.i.’ ‘ i... nitled to th® Lind ia'.: • : their friends. Efforts of this kind, if seems, were made, iu which tha speaker of tho house and Gov. Gordon tnd other gentleman ef high position and in fluence, took au active part. Not only this, but tho oily authorities tried to interfere, and even arrest ed one of the parties to preven t Iris leaving tho city. It has coma to a pro By pass, that tho Slate should be so disgraced in the eyes of all the civilized world; and we da think such men should ho relegat ed to the walks of private life. The Grfurgia papers are lairiy teem* ing with gubernatorial probabilities. Col. L F. Livingston, president oi the state alliance is said io be in the field, and Col. W. J.Norttenof Harr cock, president of tho state agricultur al society, has already announced. It was solemnly promised when the alii ance was organized, that there should be co politics in it, but already the usefulness of this organization is handi capped by a movement within its ranks to convert it into a political ma vhtne. However, Col. Livingston is a good, plain man of ordinary ability, and Col. Nor then is a good and true democrat, who always gets the italics in the right place. If either should be elected tho interests of the common wealth would be safe. But we predict that the democratic party of the state will taka the matter iu hand at the proper time and select a worthy suc cessor of Ggu. oordon, who will hold the banner of the empire state of the South, aloft before the world, who is not tire ambitions aspirant of’aov trade or profusion, but the choice of the whole people. Tha 10th inst. another White Chapel murder was discovered in London- The body of another “fall en” woman was found with the head, arms aim limbs severed, and missing. The intestines were ex posed from the abdomen and lay oil the ground, The amputation and disseclion were skilfully perform ed, and presented, in appearance, the work of an expert surgoant. The murdering of Jude women in London has been going on for ever a year. The murder, or murderers, seem to evade detection through some invisibles means of an Omnip otent power, so to speak. The shrewd hand and watchful eye of polLe and detectives have been un able io trace any clue to the perpe trators. London is on© ©1 the ancient cit ies of corruption. But these lude outcasts that invade her streets, havo CBIUB down from |eueration to the present. There ih nothing wonder fnl, new or atrange in these characters that could possibly interfere with her morality now, more than centuries back. As then, as now, they tvers licensed to carry oat their Satanic de Bros, and why, at this late hour has London’s moral and virtuous sense be come so a’< ashed and demoralized, as to take advantage of its laws aad he no longer protected by them, and rr vetsgo Ckriati&aky on thcie wretches ot pitty with such cruel deaths, it would f-ecin, is without reason, r&. :rc or judgment, to dcroaad protection at, tie-La., is of an English gwr-iument?

An Insult. The gratuitous insult being of fered (o the Alliaweo by certain parties, that the alliance is encour aging its members not to pay (heir debts, is false in every point and onglii to bo effectually resented by every true aiiianceman. “Because, forsooth, we say “do not rush your cotton to market, ’’ wo must be accused of opposition t© honest payment of debts. Those de tiers who ar@ having their circu lars, in which they advise early sale of cotten, extensively publish ed, are direclly interested in the purchase of cotton and of course it is to their interest, to buy it as low as possible. The farmer wants his cot ton to bring *a good price. Of course this is contrary toths inter est of lhe buyer and he wants to force early sales by saving tha far mer is morally bound to sell bis cotton as soon as it can be picked and ginned. Thera are no obliga tions maturing before October and most of them on October loth and Nov. Ist. When our National Cot ton Committee says “sell no cotton in Sep I ember -1 ’ tiiey mean every word of it and h ava the best of rea son for it. If apy one claims that this smells of dishonesty, it is be cause tho gambler lias a nose which is only use to such odors and can't recognize any other. There are twa sides to every question and if the. farmers want to have a little to say about the price of their eot lor this season, it is no more than their right. Tiiev certainly had no voice in pricing the goods they have bought 6 n time or tha guano tbey have foolishly signed away (heir manhood for, er the money they borrowed with all the inter est the law aID wed added on and a heavy discount, which tho law did not allow taken oil - .' No, they had no voic3 in all thesa mailers for I hey were in a fight and tho worst kind of a fight at that. Now the * ’ merchant, the guano dealer, the banker and the warehousemen have their obligations for tbeea things and the obligation include* all the profits which could be tacked onto what the farmer got. Is ha morally bound to rush bis cetton into market and sell it for less than tha cost of production simply to gratify the dealers, when he knows that euck folly would leave him in debt? Is it not his duty to get al! he can for his cotton? If by holding it for awhile he can realize more mon ey for it and le able to pay off hif debt and ba free, is it cot his duty to do so?
