of Opposing the De amende nominee.
Stephens is elected by an over-
whelming majority—no doubt the
cproplefcest walk over of any dandi-
date for the honor since the the
war, and in our opinion will make the
most sdjsfattory adminlsti.ition Geor
^ We'are^roud 6 too'oV onr Senator
A more honorable and aide man the
district cannot afford. He, too, had
an easy race, though there was quite
an effort made by the Independents
and Republicans to defeat him, and
by using a little of the little barrel
and misrepresenting his po.ition on
certain questions, such as stock law
or the fence question, etc , run
him a very close race in this
and Euly count! S, bo getting
only 498 votes to 450 in this connty I
305 to 361 in Ku'ly county. Old j
Baker, however, rallies and gives
7J4 majoriiy, and, the mis¬
representation of the fence ques
lion not being widely spread in that
the Independents received
a small vote—Monroe only 6.
F. F. Geer was elected to the
house by a majority of 85 votes over
Whidden, the Independent candidate.
Both gentlemen wore of the 4th dins
trict, but the old third stuck up to
the nominee like good democrats,
and the consequent is tiro defeat of
the Independent candidate.
The old State house officers had
l)ut little opposition,
Upou the whole, we are inclined to
the opinion that never in the annals
Georgians history was there a more
quite and free ballot, nor a fairer
count, and probably a lighter vote
polled at any State election for many
years. We are proud of Georgia's
politics, and think it in a healthier
condition than nt. anytime since her
withdrawal from the Union.
Savannah Morning News—It is well
for the Democracy ol Chatam to bear
in mind what Col. Tom Hardeman
had to say in his recent speech ut the
theatre about boilers and Indepen¬
dents. Says lie: “A man who pro-
fesS' S to be a Democrat,has no right
to refuse to support his party just be¬
cause be may be disappointed in his
clioieo. He would bo like the man
who got tired of living, or thought ha
was, aud went into his stable, took a
bridle ns a halter and hung himself to
a r.fter. lie was discovered by a
neighbor just before lifj was extinct
and cut down. On being restored he
fluid: ‘Oh, why did you cut me
down? In a few minutes I would
have been walking the golden streets
oftlie New Jerusalem! 1 ‘Yes, remark¬
ed the neighbor, ‘and a-of a figure
you would have cut in the streets of
New Jerusalem with a bliud bridle on
your neck! 1 [Laughter and applause]
Our bolters would cut jast such a
figure in tho Democratic Legiature of
Georgia with a bus*’ yoke around
their mck*.
The political condition of affairs
in UtaR is beginning to excite consul -
able interest-. It >s stated atone time
the Geditiles V’V'Vntypt [&vjl\^’' n ^ er
because or the recent decision sus¬
taining the validity of the act confers
ring upon women the elective fran¬
chise. Tho first supposition was that
the Mormons would carry any elec¬
tion by from 12,001) to 15,000 majority
But Judge Twiss, in a later case, holds
that the tax-paying qualification re¬
quired oDMnaJe citizens is also appli¬
cable to females. Before registration
a man must swear that he is a taxs
payer as well as a resident, and under
this decision n woman must take tho
same oath. Comparatively few women
are tax-payers, and the number of fe¬
male will not be large in a fair elec¬
tion. Whether or not there will be a
fair election, however, seems to b^i
matter of considerable doubt.

liU 4 coincidence is counooted with the
2 . ^ Senator Hill Evervbodv
ofil •FedCbteec sfi-eei observed tho
a kWtaujifnl A , cedai , .. tie© that stood , in • lus , •
front yard. Tho tree was pjanted by
Senator Hill and he was interested in
j its growth and beauty. When Mr.
Hill was carried to Eureka Springs,
the tree gave evidence of disease, the
blight commencing at tho top. Not'
withstanding the close attention of the
| gardener, the tree continued to with-
er, and a few days after the death of
! Senator Hill, there was not a green
' leaf upon it. It wrs receutiy cup np
and removed, and it was discovered
that th. entire tree was decayed from
top to root.
\
A Few Practical Suggestions.
To remove the obstruction would from tlic the j
creeks of onr comity, save
expense of keeping up so many bridges,
especially those across lagoons and
gioughs. The cre. ks would naturally
cut into deeper clianncls and prove a
matter of drainage, which woahl re 1 ' j
deem much of the swamp land, and j
also remove the can so of a great deal
of miasma that rise therefrom, which J
permeates the atmosphere and cause :
, lje pe8t y c jjills and saving, fever in the localities people j
adjacent therein,
much suffering and many dollars piul j
annually for Doctor bids and medi-
cine. My opinion is, that tire principe !
streams of our euiintyjcould bo cl sail¬
ed and all the obstructions removed at
a cost of about two thousand dollars.
If I mistake not, the convicts of
our state are let out to contractors at j
from 87.00to 810.00 per bead. Why
not Calhoun contract for, s ty 10, and
work them on our creeks, thereby
improving our lands and the health of
our people, which would give ebaraes
ter to our county and prosperity to its
people.
The saving in bridges alone, in three
time, would bu sufficeat to pay
whole cost of the work done,—
figures given below you will
that the work can be done f J"
much liss than ono would suppose.

One guard, 25 o

Total $1,129.
No doubt the work of removing the
obstruction from Notahaway and Pu-
chitla creeks from county line to
county line, C’lubl be accomplished in
one year's time. If the obstructions
were properly removed, the channels
of the creeks would ho amply suffic mt
to carry off the water and keep it in
bounds at all tiirns except in such
freshets as ha3 just past. Hoping
the good citizens of Calhoun will
awaken to a seuce of their int rest
and by pititiou or otherwise pray
the Commissioners of R udi and
Revenue to make such a move, that
our county will be permitted to move
or ward in its agricultural and other
pursuits, I am very truly,
One of Us.

There is great excitement in East 1
Tennessee over the killing of a sheriff
'
and one of Ills guards by the Taylor
brothers. One of the Taylors was;

er and friends boarded the train, kil- i
led the Sheriff and one of the guards j
nod overpowered the others; they |

compelled the engineer to run it by
several stations until it reached Lon- !
