lion. Chauncey M. Dcpew
and ex-Mayor Hewitt and par
ty of new York, spent a day in
Atlanta last week. They have
been taking a pleasure tour

high terms of the South's de

Rev. Mr. Binkwood, a Bap

the pulpit in Birmingham not
long since on criminals. He
said, “Hawes went straight to
hell from the scaffold— he went
down instead of upward.” This
divine, it seems, is assuming a
good deal of authority. lie
takes the responsibility upon
himself, when he refutes the
Bible. This book says, ‘‘Seek
and ye shall find; knock and it
shall be open unto you Though
your sins be red as scarlet yet
shall they be made whiter than
snow!”
The Daily Constitution of
March 28th, contained this
startling item of news:
“After the senate had dis
posed of Sherman’s anti trust
bill, the dependent pension oiil
was called up in pursuance of
the programme determined up
on by the republican caucus.
This is the bill to pension at
the rate of twelve dollars per
month every union soldier or
sailor who served three months
in the rebellion and is now in
capacitated from active work
and dependent upon manual la
bor for support. It is the bill
that Pres. Cleveland vetoed,
and which earned for him at
the same time the praises of all
good citizens and the condem
nation of every grand army
post in the country.”
Every neighborhood in Banks
nearly, is fitting up a man for
the legislature. We were in a
crowd of gentlemen the other
day where at least eight or tea
names were mentioned. Two
or three of these name’s are be
ing (allied all over the county.
Things are already buzzing in
certain quarters. It seems to
me its time the matter was tak
ing a shape some way.
Candidates all over the coun
try are announcing themselves.
Let all those in Banks who in
tend to run, make it known, so
wo may begin to pick over and
decide which.
Let tho democratic party in
Banks begin to arrange for bus
iness. We don't consider poll
tics the most important tiling
in the world, hut it is some
thing in which every true pa
triot is ink-rested.
The Philadelphia Telegraph
is a strong republican paper. It
has a right, therefore to speak
its mind in reference to Mr.
Harrison's movements, and
says: “Congress and the presi
dent may scheme to get posses
son of lbe South, its electoral
v >tu and its congressional dele
gallons. They may unite in
enacting the most drastic logis
iat ion to this end, but they will
never build up llie republican
party in the South on suehma*
tonal as has misrepresented it
the greater portion of the time
in the federal offices there dur
ing the past twenty years and
in the national republican con
ventions. One such man as
Gen. Longstreetin Georgia is
worth a hundred Bucks and
Bryants. It is strange,iofieed,
that the consciousness of this
fact does not penetrate the
minds of the republican leaders
at the capitol.
There might be a strong, reput
able and useful republican par
ty in the South, but that can
( nly come through discarding
the whole bad lot who have
been controlling the party or
ganiz.ition in that section for a
long time.”
Three prisoners escaped
frem the Fannin county jail
the other night and left thefol
ing unique letter:
“Morganton Jail, March 31
Judge Withrov:—As we are
expecting to leave you for a
short time, and can not have
the chance to see you person
ally, we take this means of re
turning our thanks to you for
the kindness you have shown
us since our short acquaint
ance with you. We regret very
much to leave you, under such
circumstances, but thinking it
will be better for ns, aul as
well for the public good ot the
county, we will leave von, per
lnps, to veur sudden surprise
We also wish to return thanks
to your good lady for her heart
felt sympathy, believing her to
be one of those, good kind of
ladies who feel so sorry for
men locked up in a cell like we
are. Please extend our thanks
to the sheriff of your county.
He has been kind and sympa
thising with us. Tell him we
are taking our leave without
the aid of any one. i'lease
give our thanks to all the good
ladies who have been so kind
as to visit us, and looked as
though they were sorry to see
us in such a place. If it is con
venieni to do so, please say to
Mr. Trammell, one of the mag
istrates of your county, that
Rose and Phillips have decid
ed not to give him the one thou
sand dollar bond that he re
quired, thinking him incompe
tent to do justice to such an
immense amount stored away
in such an office as we suppose
ho keeps, and if lie Wants to
find our whereabouts, he will
find it recorded in the last
chapter of Luke. Judge, as it
is getting late, and we want to
get off as soon as possible, these
remarks must soon close.
Thanking you again for your
kind treatment, and the good
lady for her good “grub,’’please
excuse us for not taking the
timo to come by and say good
bye, we remain you friends,
Lowery, Rose, and Phillips.”

Washington. March 31.— Mr
Dolph delivered his speech in
the Senate Saturday on the re
solution offered by Mr. Voor-
bees as to agricultural depres
sion. He raid that the piotec.
live tariff had in no i> g;ee con
tributod to the present depres
sion of the farming interests.
According to Mr. Dolph, they
are better off than they would
be under a “Tariff for revenue
enly” and were iar more pros
perous than they would be in
any free trade country.
An amusing episode grew
out of the Voorhees resolution.
On his motion the senate bill
i
appropriating $14,875 for the
purchase of the Capron collec
tion of Japanese works of ait
now in the National Museum
was taken up and discussed.
Mr. Hale satirized Mr. Voor
liees for bis advocacy of the
measure as if it were one in be
half of the farmers of the coun
try, whose depressed condition
he had pictured lo the senate.
He supported that the farmers
of the West would be very
much satisfied and even de
lighted t know that congress
was hunting Japanese relics
Sen. Daniel proposes a com-
prehensive amendment to the
world’s fair bill. It empowers
the national commission to ar
range for an international cele
bration at Washington, in Oo
tuber 1892, to include the dedi
cation of a statute to Columbus
on the 12th, preceded by a
grand review of the navies of
the world, first in New York
harbor, and second at Hamp
ton roads. On the completion
of the services all the guests
are to be invited to Chicago to
join in suitable ceremonies ded
ieatiiig the world’s fair build
ings in that city. Tlie measure
provides l'or the erection here
of a memorial hall suitable for
the initiatory ceremonies, and
to be used afterward for inaug
ural receptions, international
conventions and for the statua
ry and portraits of distinguish
ed Americans. The president
is especially to invite the pres
idents of the eighteen Ameri
can republics and the King of
Italy, and the Queen of Spain.
The other rulers of the earth
are to be invited out of pure
politeness, but their presence
is not to be considered as abso
lutely necessary.
The proposition to transfer
the revenue marine service to
the Navy department has pass
ed the house and is likely to
have the sanction of tlie sen
ate. This measure goes far o
ward placing the revenue ma
rine in its true prositimi, on a
footing with kindred branches 1
ol the public service iisnrv
al character has been recogniz
ed ever since its organization
in 1790 by the efforts of Alex
ander Hamilton, but injurious
distinctives have . been made
between the revenue marine
service and the naval service
proper. The duties of revenue
marine officers is more oner
ous and continuous, their pay
iess, their privilege often cur
tailed, their rank lower for
equally important services,
and their responsibility great
er m time of peace. Secreta
ries Wiudom and Tracy both
favor the proposed transfer.
Representative Lodge of
Massachusetts, has been before
the house postoffice commit
tees, in favor of his bill pro
viding for the selection of 4th
class post masters by the post
master general on the basis of
reports made by .post office in
spectors. There are 57,904 of
those postmasters who receive
an average compensation of
.$160,70 per annum. The bill
provides that the postmaster
general through liis own agents
—the pcstoilice inspectator,
shall obtain all the necessary in
formation as to the various can
didates for any given lourth
cla.ss postoiiice, and on that in
formation shall act without ref
erence to political representa
tions.
