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.

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 ed the house to vote dov. a ihe mo lion to rec®nsider, but they refused 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. hie cleix-s to a convention; bat wire la er be does or col, it is ve. ycc : n that he will bo elected in the dis;. ci in which he liver., and vail), there foe. become tha rcpresentat’ve of a e :v that calls itself the most cc-lured in , the cnioa. 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*.

He cays that many young men are bigger and stronger l . cause his exampl as a phyur a! enhur ist has net theca to work. Ee says. 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. Oar advice to Boston in to elect him unaninaou-lv.— [Constitution.

This intimacy has been of the clos est character. Even the children are tangled np in it. Tha daily paper in forms us that young Blaine E!ki:s gives a Bwall party at which Baby Mo Kee ia the honored guest, and pledge each other eternal friendship. And this precious scion of the Elkins tribe undoubtedly adroitly swells the head of tbo yoting Mclfc-e while a more ex perienced Elkins ewells the skull of tha Baby’s of grand father on the front porch.
