Mr. Stephens interview with the At¬

An attempt, was made Saturday on

A 11 Atlnta special to the Columbus
Enquirer-Nun, of Saturday,states that

Senate at the same time on account of
l ad health, aud that the belief is cur¬
rent that Mr A. H.Stephens aud Gen.
U. R. Jackson, of this city, will be
offered the positions l.y Governor
Colquit'. Whether this is more than
rumor or not. we. know not. Later
reports from Senator Brown were to
the effect tli^t his health was improv
iug, an if uuqkjUe true, he will hardly
resign.
Political Injunction
We extract as follows from a lead-
ing editorial in the Telegraph and
Mc&seng.r of a recent date;
“The minor is arid has been rife
fi t a long time that more than one
gubernatorial aspirant hold a sort of
parol contract with the Governor and
tllS frjend "’ ° r both - for ,h « ■««*<*-
ion, and many very good people put
fait 1 in it. It has created some disc,
enssion, one of the results of which
has reached us in a very authentic
nhape, to the effect that there is a
writteu contract to the tame off cl
«till in existence, or rather a copy of
it. That it was drawn up by a very
enthusiastic adherent of the Govern
or‘s, when the latter was in great po
litical stress, aud that a prominsut
politician has a copv of it.
If this be true, the gentlemen who
ate working under parol contracts had
b st be looking to their interests, or
the written one may be set up in the
courts by copv as against them, The
suggestion that this poceeding would
be against good morals and liable to be
met by the statute of frauds will not
do to rely upon in these days, We
aro progressive people, and when oh-
stacles, in the shape of rights, hoary
with the dust aud wisdom of ages,
rise up, we kick them out of the way.
It seems *o ns that all parties at in¬
terest had b st unite, or, in railroad
parlance, ‘ pool their issues, “ select a
judge who was not of the seven above
alluded to, and pray for a writ of in¬
junction staying the Governor agamst
giving or trading the governorship
away. They might also file a bill of
discovery and relief, and pray that a
receiver be appointed until a conven¬
tion can be called and the people
made parties.
If the Governor has gotten this
thing in his head as is rumored and
very generally credited, we do not
exuctly see any other process by
which he may be stopped. In this
way Hie assets may be hung up until
the gentlemen with parole or written
contractu can have opportunity to come
into court and prove {heir claims."
Another Anti‘'Chinese Bill
Another anti Chinese bill was
passed in Congress last Friday, ft
suspends the immigration of Chinese
laborers for ten years, and if any per¬
son prohibited by the act should come
into the United States during that
period, he must leave within ninety
days. The master of any vessel who
know ingly brings a Chinese laborer
into the United States during that
period is liable to a Hue uot exceding
§500 for each immigrant and impris¬
onment not exceeding one year.
Chinese laborers wtio were in this
country prior to the ratification of tlio
treaty of November 17, 1880, are not
subject to this provision of the act.
T tie Collectors of Customs are re¬
quired to keep a descriptive list of tho
laborers belonging to this expect d
class, should any of them take pas¬
sage for their own country, so they
can be identified on their return and
tho shipmasters protected from the
penalties of tho act. Tho depar,
ting Chinaman of the excemtd
class is also to be furnished wi ll
a certificate, which he must
produce on his return. If he wants
to go by laud to the British po ses¬
sions of Mexico, he is entitled to a
certificate which will assist in liis
identification if lie returns. China¬
men who do not belong to tlio piohili-
ited class when they come to this
oouutry must have credentials fr,,m
own government, showing that they
are not imig*ant 'laborers ‘ The
altering or forging of a descriptive
certificate is made a misdemeanor,
to be punished by a fine not exceeding
§1,000 and imprisonment in the peni¬
tentiary for a term not exceeding five
years. A Chinaman of the prohibi¬
ted class who refuses to have is to be
brought before a Judge or Commis¬
sioner of a Uuitid States court, and if
he is found to be hero in violation of
the provisions of the act, he is to be
sent to his own country at the expeuse
of tlio Uuited States Govern met)’.
All courts of the United Stnt< s aud
State courts are prohibited from ad¬
mitting Chinese imigvants to citi
zenship. The word ‘laboreis’ in the
act is to be construed to meau both
skilled aud unskilled laborers and
miners.

Those about the white Lon 3 * r say
_
when Hayes wa-t pre-i tent a strange,
lean lauk. gray dog stood watch at
the house both day and e’ght, and
could not be driven away. That when
Garfield became president a yellow
terrier put in an appear nee. The
low dog was fiist seen on the day of
I' 1 ® inauguration. It followed Gar-
field's carriage t»om tlio Capitol to
Hie white house and peraistent-
b' remained until the day of assas-i-
nation, when it mysteriously disap-
peared. When Arthur donn d the
executive robe a latge blind,e dog of
a mongn s species took up his home
in a chimp of shrubbery directly iu
front of thu north door. The atten¬
dants at .lie president's house posi¬
tively aver that this presidential dog
story is ttie whole truth aud nothing
but the truth -—Hampton Moniter.
We stand funny and squarely by
every line we have ever wiitten about
the murder of young Itoui tr-e, and
stid lien# refutation. It matters not
who or vvbat is injured, we told the truth
If any institution in or out of Athens
has to be bolstered up by smoothing
over and disguising outrageous facts,
we say let that institution go. Wo
can't afford to reply to anonymous
Con trad ictioiis, but we defy any man
to take our account and refute one
line or word. The Banner Watch¬
man has accomplished just what it
intended—turned tin* eyes of the
entire State of Georgia upon the mis¬
erable results of independence in the
uinth district, and will awaken our
people to a realization of the fearful
political condition they are in.— Ban.
ner Watchman.
It is stated that the House Commit¬
tee on banking and Currency have
agreed to report to Congress a bill
'to suspend the issue of silver certifte-
eutes and to limit the coinage of silver
dollars to the requirements of the peo¬
ple.' This is in accordance with the
recomendations of the President in
his message, and it may be supported
by the Republicans us a party measure
We trust that the democrats will op¬
pose with like unanimity. Even Sec-
retuvy Sherman, alter opposing the
stiver remonetization bills of Congress
had to admit the great aid which
those measures contributed to the re¬
sumption and maintenance of specie
payments, or rather to j jug. apprecia
tionTSf the liatioutfF^inxriTCy “tc o' par
value. There is good reason to fear
that any measure again discrediting
silver or limiting its supply will have
a contrary effect.
The Washington cot respondent of
the Constitution, “F. H. R,“ lias
this to say further in regard to H 011 .
H. G. Turner's speech.
Mr. Turner delivered, I believe,
one of the ablest speechis iu the en—
tire house debate on the subject.
The only other efforts so unanimous¬
ly complimented were those of Car¬
lisle and Hewitt. Mr. Turner has
one result following hia speech, which
might embarrass a Weaker mail, It
is that iu raising the expectation of
the house a gnat deal will be expec¬
ted of him next time, In his case
nobody uecd expect to find that fal¬
ling off so often noticed iu congress
after one able speech, lie is the
man to go ahead.
A dispatch announces that Mr. Hill
1ms reached Eureka Spring, aud he
K no doubt calmly awaiting no early
dissolution. One of the most brilliant
state-man of the South 13 about to
pass away. In sorrow be it said, for
it is a heavy loss to tlio country, hi <
family aud friends: The malady with
which he isstriekeo seems to he b -youd
the control of hum m skill. He is
now away iu a distant State, but hap
pilv is surrounded by those dearest
to him in life—his wife and children.
W an Id that this sad catastrophic
could be averted, but almost the lust
ray of hope has fled, aud Georgia
will soon be called to put on her liab-
bilioaents of mourning over the death
of her gifted son, Benjamin Harvey
Hill.

Another crank wrote to the private

Since the war, the cost of the pub
lie printing has aggregated §50 000

uas become the largest establishment
of the kind in the world. The main
reason for tins is said to be due to the
practice of Congress iu constantly or¬
dering the printing of doeumets whi.h
are of riiAtse, but which are gone 1 up
solely to gratify the private Vanity of
the members.
