The Savanah Times says that before the war a gentleman in Bullock county built a kitchen with a cement floor over a go gher hole.

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 through the South. Those are two of New York’s prominent republicans. They spoke in high terms of the South's de velopments. Rev. Mr. Binkwood, a Bap tist preacher, preached horn 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.” WiisSiiiiKiuii i-etici'. Fio:n tho Journal's Correspondent. 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.
