Tho Republicans are playing their
.old game of turning Democratic rep¬
resentatives out of their seats. Since
they stole the preside ncy they seem
to think that tliey^will lie eudorsed by
the people in auv mean not they
choose to do, and it looks very much
as if they were right iu their calcula¬
tions.
A Correspondent of the Cuthbert
Appeal comes out strongly for lion.
C. B. Wooten, of Calhoun, for Con-
gressman-nt large. In our opinion
raid correspondent favors the right
,mau. There are few men iu the State
who know tiie situation of State affairs

who will more faithfully labor for the
good of all.

will urge him ns tho democratic can¬

The race for governor before tho con-
venten will be between him and Hon
A. H- Stephens. Whoever is n mi
nated by this convention will be
opposed by General L. J. Gartrell.
Mr. Stephens will, or should receive
the hearty support of every young
man in ^ the State, many of whom
owe their education to his (Steph¬
ens) gonerosi ty. One of the great-
est pleasures of his life, it seems,
has been the provisions of means of
education for the poor young men
who wore not able to help themselves,
Now that the young voters have an
opportunity of showing their appreci¬
ation of thisspiritof kindness,(wheth-
er they have bteu the direct recip¬
ient of a share or not) they should uot
fail to do so by honoring him with
their support aud coufldenoo as Gov*
ernor of our State. *
Senator Hill's Arrival in Atlanta
Mr. Hill arrived in Atlanta at 1.40
p. >i., on Friday last. Jji spite of the
fact that the people had been twice
disappointed the crowd that assembled
in honor of bis arrival was very large,
filling the depot and the streets on ei•
tlier side. Of his appearance the
atitution Says;
Almost immediately the door of the
sleeper opened aod the tall form of
Senator Hill emerged therefrom. He
was entirely unsupported, although
bis son, Ben Hill, Jr,, followed him
closely. It h fair to say that Mr.
Hill's first appearance was a relief to
his friends. None of then had seen
him since the terrible third operation,
aud the reports received from him had
led them to expect the worst. They
were prepared to see an emaciated
and tottering form. On the contrary
Mr. Hill appeared to be in almost his
usual flesh, and bPstep was firm. He
was dressed neatly. Around his head
was tied a white strip which covered
the jaw, but left most of the face ex¬
posed. His lips were drawn closely
together, and the leftside of his face
was slightly drawn on aocount of the
absorbent cotton with whioh his mouth
was filled.
The Constitution also says:
By this time lie was fairly in the
crowd. Turning his head from one
side to the other, with the same wear¬
ied and fixed look iu his eyes, he quiet¬
ly lifted his bat and walKed through
the sea of faces. Instantly every head
was uncovered. There was not a
word spoken The drop of a pin on
the depot floor might have been heard,
Tears coursed down many a man's
rougli cheek, and many a stern mouth
quivered. Through the crowd in
perfect silence the senator walked,
stepping accurately and steadi-
ly.
From first to last Mr. Hill never
opened his lips. When lie was fairly
seated in his carriage, Lis face for the
first time lost its fixed look, the stead -
fiisteyesclobed and raising his hand to
his face, the senator brushed away the
tears that had gathered In them.
That's all there was ubout it ! But
never sinco Atlanta was a forest was a
grander tnhule of love, sympathy
aud confidence paid to any man.

to death.*
There is a cut on the side of his face
nnd on his chin. A portion of the
bone and two teeth have already come
and the vital. question now is, is ic
caucer or necrosis of the bone. If it
is cancer liiscnso is hopeless, but if not
ho may. yet recover. He is strong
enough to walk about, but can eat
no solid food. Hois undoubtedly in
a terrible condition but whether he
will continue to grow worso or im¬
prove cannot be predicted with any.
tiling sufficiently approaching certain
ty to base a hope on.
•••
Mr. Stephens still says he will not
be a candidate for governor unless the
democracy desire him and express such
desire through the Democratic Con¬
vention. He is a Democrat, and as
such will handle the affair of the State,
aud suppose ho does accept the votes
nnd endorsement of the Independents,
does that necessarily make him any
less a Democrat ? Because the Indes
pendents have offered him their sup¬
port, oven as the nominee of the
Democracy, is no reasou why his
loyalty to his party should be so ge*
verely questioned nnd criticised.
But his being the choice of all par¬
ties arid the whole people is a reason
why he should be made the people’s
Goveroor.. He has declared himself,
where nil parties oould hear him, sub
ject to the action of. the Democratic
Convention aud a supporter of
Democratic principles, and if, after
t ris the Independents want, to vote
for him, we can't see any harm in
his aocepting their support.
Mr. Stephens will remain iu Wash
ingtou until after the session and will
then come to Georgia. He intends to
make a tour of speech-delivering da¬
ring the Gubernatorial campaign.
This provided, of course, that his
health will permit of it, candidate Me Stephens
holds that the duty a is to
appear before the people if he is able
to do so. He will show, among oilier
things, the exact char acter of the mis¬
understanding ard mistakes which
put him down as ever defying the
Democratic party.
The Collection Law of Georgia.
A correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution says;
I desire to say a few words about
a law that needs reform worse in my
opinion than the stock law, namely,
the collating Jaw. Under the present
conftiuton and laws we have virtually
no collection law. We have tried the
homestead for fifteen or sixteen years,
suppose we try it awhile without one.
Let ns have a vote ou that subject
by the counties. If the legislature
allows the stock law to be voted on
by counties why not let us vote on
the homestead in the same way? I
think there is a large majority in
the good old State of Georgia that is
in favor of no homestead, or at least a
great deal smaller one. In the first
place under the present homestead
not more than one-fifth of the people
are worth the homestead and a very
large majority have therefore no cred-
it except up on their honor. A man,
for example, is worth five hundred
or a thousand dollars, he wants to buy
fifty or one hundred dollars, worth
of goods on time for a few months,
or borrow that amount of money; he
is refused because lie is not worth
more than the homestead,or,if he is not
refused credit, he is charged a high
rate because of the risk. Give us a
very small homestead, if any, and let
a man's property stand subject for
his debts, and nine-tenths of the
people will have fair credit and can
buy goods and provisions and borrow
a little money as cheap as the man
who is worth five or ten thousand
dollars. A large maj >rity of the
people would thus bo benefitted. If
tbe homestead not benefit a majority
of the people if ought to be repealed,
for no law ought to exist that does not
suit a majority of the people
who have to live under it. If we are
right about the majority being in favor
of no homestead the minority ought
to yield and the majority rule. The
people would then go to work to pay
their debts instead of spending time
and money to keep from payiug them.
Let a man understand that his prop
erty as wall as his honor is bound for
what he promises, and lie will be very
careful about making a promise with -
out feeling sure lie can meet it.
Probable Political Effects of the
Western Labor Troubles.
Concerning tho present labor troub¬
les in the west tho St. Louis Repub¬
lican reasons that ‘time at last sets
all things even,' and the big strike of
the iron workers just begun will unless
sooner ended than at present seems
possible, work as much disaster to the
Republican party at the coming au¬
tumn elections as that paity derived
advantage two years ago from the uni¬
versally prosperous condition of the
country. It thinks that this stiike
cannot continue long without working
great harm and suffering to an im¬
mense body of workingmen,for its in¬
fluence will extend far beyond tho par¬
ticular liue of irou-working in which
it starts, and necessarily affect and
damage many of the intimately related
industries. risconteut will be wide¬
spread iu the operative Dopulation of
the country and the Republican par¬
ty, whioh is in full control of the leg¬
islative and executive machinery of
the National Government, will have to
take the responsibility for the suffer¬
ings of the working classes.
The party in power is always
bliudly credited or blamed for all the
good and evil the country suffers,but
as our Western contemporary truth¬
fully says, in this case the Republican
party will be justly hell totficcount.
They have not been without warnings
of the existing troubles, and the Dem¬
ocrats in Congress have fought val-
iautly to induce the controling majori¬
ty to follow the only policy that could
have prepart'd the country for the situ
ation in which it now finds itself.
The true policy was the coincident
reduction of appropriations and of
taxes, but, the Republican party has
refused ts do either of tbese things,
and it will rightfully bo blamed for
the existence of evils which such a
course might have averted.— Sav.Heu-s
Treasurer Speer stated to a ConstK
tulion reporter that it was a mistake
to suppose that the State bad any
large amount of surplus money ou
hand. Outside of 8275 000 in United
States bond, which must be used only
to pay off the bonded indebtedness of
the State, there was enough money to
meet the Jnly aud October expenses
and all the appropriations aud 81,664.04 made by
the Legislature State over. had
In other words that the
enough to meet all demands upon the
treasury between now and the time the
taxes commence to come in next fall,
and nothing more, That the State
was in comfortable circumstances,
but not overflowing with riches by any
means.
Mr. HUI and Mr. Stephens.
Senator Hill and family are in af
fectionate communication with Mr.
Stephens. Mr. Hill does net now take
much interest in any of the political
controversies that once fired his min ■
and inspired him to memorable action
but the otherday lie had read to
him Mr. Stephens 1 letter, and sent
him word, by a loving hand, that
he highly approved it, and hoped it
would unite all Georgians to make a
governor of the whole people. Our
suffering senator is more and more re*
signed to the will of God, and eu-
durea unspeakable suffering with a pa-
tience that passes the comprehension
of those wdio have no supernatural be-
lief to comfort and sustain them,
One who saw him write.-:‘ife/er, in
the prime of his manhood and iu the
triumphant oratory of the senate,

while smitten by a cruel misfortune
and awaiting the pleasure of the Most
High.—Washington Correspondence
Augns'a Cbrcnicle.
It is reported from Washington that
the Democrats in the Senate will op¬
pose the confirmation of Arthur's ap¬
pointments on the Tariff Commission
aud, if possible, defeat them. They
say that with one or two exceptions
the men selected are all high tariff
men; men who are directly and per¬
sonally interested in maintaining the
present protective system. This ac¬
tion shows the wisdom of the position
taken in the House of Representatives
by Hon. 11. G. Turner, member of
Congress from this district. He insis¬
ted tLat the measure ought to be de¬
feated and that if the commission
must be appointed that Congress
ought to make the appointments and
not give the power to the President.
The only result of the commission will
be to continue the present iniquitous
system indefinitely.

Mr. Eddie Young of Quitman ship¬
ped the first carload of melons of the
season to New York, they were lafge
aud fine, and netted him, we learn, a
little over 8500. Erldie is not yet
grown but has set an example worthy
of emulation to older persons. Souths
eru Georgia is the country, of all the
countries, for raising successfully the
early varieties of fruits and vegeta¬
bles, and we predict that the experi¬
ments of this year will put on foot,
the plans, to more prosperity for this
section than lias ever been thought of
before. There is no such tiling as
over stocking the demand for such
fruits and vegetables as can be grow n
here. The only thing to be informed
on, how and where to ship. If all
should ship to one market,they would,
as was the case last year, at N. Y. ;
create a glut in the market. — Way

Last winter the Republica n Legis¬
lature of Ohio passed a stringent tem¬
perance law known as the 'Pond Bill.*
This caused such dissatisfaction with
the Germans that at the spring elec-
tion all the principal cities iu the
st ute went Democratic. This alarm-
ed the Republicans and they have
been seeking some way to get out of
the bad scrape into which they got
themselves, which way out they have
by having the Supreme Court declare
it unconstitutional. The Republicans
have a way of utilizing supreme courts
that have brought them into contempt
all over the country.
The piesent indications are that
there will be a lively contest over the
judgeship of this Judicial Circuit
wheu the Legislature meets. There
are now four candidates in the field,
viz: Judge W. T. Jones, of Albany,
Hon. A. L. Hawes, of Baker, Hon. I.
A. Bash, of Mitchell, and Hon. B. B.
Bower, of Bainbridge. They ara all
good lawyers aud gentlemen of ac¬
knowledged integrity .—Hews and Ado.
Well, so much the better for the
candidates when there are so many.
Neither will have so many votes to
get.
