Bacon for Governor, one ..evidenoo of which is Glynn counly lms instructed her delegates to vole .for him in the nominating convention •Next to Stephens J\I r. Bacon is our choice. A Boston paper contaius a sensa¬ tional story nbont a young lady of that city returning from heaven to .earth. The intention of the story ev¬ idently is to convey the impression that heaven is a poor place compared .with Boston. A petition was gotten up in Atlanta, signed by over one thousand of her prominent citizens, expressing a de¬ sire that Henry W. Grady become a candidate for Congressman-ut large, but lie dedition the honor. A r ow, Henry, don't have them to insist. The Macon Telegraph is now hit¬ ler ly opposed to Mr.Stephens for Gov¬ ernor, but says that it will support the nominee of the democratic party who will certainly bo Mr. Stephens, but wo can't see, in the face of all it lms said, how it can oonsisten ly do so. 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 better than Hon. C. B. Wooten, and who will more faithfully labor for the good of all. Jion.A. 0. Bacon ‘b name will bo be¬ fore the July convention. His friends will urge him ns tho democratic can¬ didate for governor, amt if lie receives the nomination ho will bo elected. 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. It is said that Mr. llill left Eureka Springs, because it is said to be un¬ healthy in the summer nnd he could not driuk enough at the ter to have nuy appreciable effect. of himself: T am going back to my home—to my family, to the arms of the people I love, (hero to abide in patience and resignation the will of God. whether that will shall call me back worth or 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, was Ben Hill as sublime as he is now» 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 cross Reporter. 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. Mr. R. A. Nesbet, of Macon, pur¬ chased a jersey bull calf from Mr. R. A.
