EDITOIiIAL COM MENT.
The cigarette bill that became a
law the 17 h, prohibits the galo of
an / tobaoce that will bear wrap
ping a a a substitute for cigarette
smoking for minors; it also ex
cludes cigarefte paper.
The duelists, Ualbouti ami Wil
-11 am son, have been arrested and
appear before Gov. Seay of Ala
bama, this week. Th© laws of that
state make dueling a penitentiary
offense. What disposal Gov. Seay
will make of tho Georgia duelists,
it is hard to tell.
The mails seem to htvo been
croeked last week. On Monday we
received three of the daily Consti
tution, besides several other papers
and other important mail matter,
which had been mislaid, doubtless,
somewhere on tho railroads. But
as long as the republican party in
sists on putling irresponsible and
worthless negroes in position, we
need not expect Anything better.
It is an insult to the wealth, intel '
ligence and virtue of our people,
but we must stand it.
The people are beginning io re
ceive the vengeance of republican
ism, The race troubles now bob
bing up all over the South are
nothing more than the legitimate
fruits of republican victory. From
tk@ day that Harrison was elected,
negro insolence and brutality be
gan to assert itselt; aad now Mr.
Grady of the Constitution, boldly
nsserts that the races are in s strain
ed relation t® each other. Let (ha
white people of our section stand
firm to their rights, but let them
ni the same time accord to the col
ored rue® equal and exact justice.
We are glad to see that thg colored
people are frying to behave them
selves; that they eschew politics
and attend to their own affairs. If
T'py contiue to do so there will be
TiO cause for alarm.

Coggins and Alt. Bethel.
On Monday last the. bill to pro
hibit the sale of liquor with in’thro©
miles of Mt. Bethel church, was
defeated in th* house of represent
afives; Mr. Coggins opposing the
bill. On Tuesday Mr. Foute of
Bartow, moved a reconsider Jtion,|
th© bill having already passed thej
sanat* Mr. route declared that
the bill had been defeated by a
thin vote, and that the reasons for
its passage should bo shown. Mr.
Tuck of Clark, also favored a re
consideration for the samo reasons,
and declared that ho had the proofs
locked up in his desk, why tho bill
should become a law. Then came
Mr. Coggins and opposed a recoa
sidoraliaa. lie said he was the re
presentative from Banks, and
knew what they wanted; that he
would be responsible to them, and
knew they would sustain him; that
he was opposed to the passage of
this bill because tho people ot that
district did no* want it. Mr. Can
dler of DeK&lb, said that, in tin’s
instance, he should oppose the
wishes of the representation from
Banks, i’he church had stood there
for fifty years, and new conies a
bar-keeper and se!s up a saloon
near this church. The bill did not
saek to put liquor out of Banks
county, but to put if away from
this church and the academy. lie
considered it a duty to vole for the
bill. Mr. Coggins r©pHd that he
had introduced six .bills of this
kind fir Banks county, but in this
case he had in his possession ape
tit-ion signed by 123 people wilhm
a radius ©f three miles from l.e
church, opposing the bill. Us a<?k

by a vote of 53 to 57.
Sullivan tor Congress.
It is a very gratifying fact (o
know that the Hon. John Law
rence Sullivan of Boston, is to
be a Candidas for congress. In
several and vanous ways, he is un
doubtedly the ablest :if on we
have, and there i* no doubt that he
will represent his native cLv in a
stylo ihat will be complete in all
its par. 3, 50 t© speak.
The platform upon which ho pro
poses to run is very comprehensive.
He says that be is a democrat and
hag always voted the derm.era >c Tick
et. He says that hia pol't'cal record
is pert. et, and feels that he dec-:
the support of the party on that eco c.
[r is doubtful whether he will sabaiit.

that he will bo elected in the dis;. ci
in which he liver., and vail), there foe.

that calls itself the most cc-lured in

Mr. Scllivan doesn't go before the
pntiir as a poiitic’an, but simply sz s.
man who believes that ue is rope',
with the people, and who thinks a*.

the halls of confess. Ea is of '
opinion that bo has dons a great wo k

young men are bigger and stronger l .

moreover, (.hat no one can criticise his
methods of carrying on his business,
and he feels that something is don him
for his efforts to keep np th* tepnta
tfes of America anvg other cations.
Thee is no dyubt that tho ilos.
Jcdin D. Sullivan is a very big uan in
ins line and a v.rj popular one, act)
i : s to I o hoped that the democrats
ol Boston will tike him at Iris word
and tend him to congress. He will
fiii long fob want. For tunny yw:s
the democrats in the house have felt
the need of a man who could hit as he
talked. A great many vicious attacks
haye been made on the democratic par
ty by the republicans, and there has
been no champion to respond in the
proper Way; but if Mr. Sullivan is e’evt
ed to congress, he will be on the spot,
so to speak, and whan he makes an as
s-rrtion ho will be prepared to put it in
i'aiiog if necessary, if an attack is
made on tea democratic party, or up
on any prominent democrat, there is
no doubt that Mr. Sullivan will be
able to defend the organisation as well
as the individual. We have long need
ed Rneh a man in the house—-a man
who is not only prepared fco attack, but
also to smash his opponents when na
eessary. That Mr. Sullivan czn do
this, there can be no reasonable doubt.
