Mr. B. H. Hill, Jr., fainted while

finished his argument.
Should M r. Stephens not live to fill
out his term of office. Mr. Boynton,
president of tho Senate, will rucceed

Grant applaud* d Butler the other

if Ulysses found his way into the

Colquitt is Senator, and we, like
the little boy tho calf ran over,
nothing to say Colquitt can fill the
high office he is honored with so as to
gain tho hearty applause and praise of
even his bitten st opponents, and when
he fails to do his duty is time enough
to make u fits*. We will wait and
see.
Maj. W. G. Raoul has tendered
fiis resignation as Vice President of
the Central Railroad, to take effect on
the 6.h of December next. As tho
regular monthly meeting of the Hoard
of Directors will be bold on that date,
it is probable tho resignation will oe
accepted and -Vaj. I'aouVs successor
be elected.
Jf the defeat of Dr. Felton in the
7th district, and Hon. Emory Speer

this: that the nomination of Hon.

conceived and gloriously executed,

Congress meets in tli.ee weeks, and
it seems to be an understood thing
that the Radical majority is to vote
for cutting down internal revenue
taxation, tariff revision, civil service
reform, and making political assess-
rneiits for campaign purpose a crime.
So it seems tlmt the recent cyclone
threatens to convert our Radical Forty
Seventh Congress into an ult*\i Di ms
crutic body. If the Hem >cr;ws are
wise, however, they will sec
to it that it becomes a dem-
ocratic body at all it must bn Demo¬
cratic all over, in name as well as in
deed. In other words, the triumph¬
ant Democratic minority in that body
should treat only oti terms of absn-
Ifite, unconditional and open surren¬
der with the defeated and demorali¬
zed majority. No effort at Radical
stealing of Democratic thunder should
bo countenanced for a moment.
‘7’he reduction of taxation, lire
simplification of tax laws, the iiiris
taiice upon the principle that revenue
shall be the object and 'p election’
only tho incident of lax laws are the
obvious duties of the party assuming
to administer the affairs of oiu gov¬
ernment. Under such an ndininistm
tion, founded upon such principles
and purified from the abuses and cor
rupt influences which have caused
the Republican party to fall to
pi< ces in the late elections, I can
see a long course of growing pros¬
perity, happiness and honor to our
country, which will strengthen the
cause ot Rclf government, by the pros
pie all over the civilized wo-ld.’
—Senator Bayard.
A daring attempt was made on last
Saturday, in Dublin, Ireland, to as
sas inate Judge Lawson, while he was
walking along Claire street. The po¬
lice uoticed suspicious movements on
the part of nn individual on the oppo¬
site side of the street. The man was
afterwatds seen to crosss the road *o
wards Judge Lawson and to put his
hand in the breast of liis coat., where
upon lie was knocked down by a po
licemnn, and found to he holding a six
chambered revolver. The prisoner,who
was taken to the station, give his
name as Corrigan, which is known to
be fal-e. He is known to bo a fores
man carpenter, and ns tho affair is
believed lo have originated in a secret
society, numerous arrests are expec¬
ted.
Macon Telegraph: We Darn that
the negroes in sorno comities in this
State are forming labor unions. They
could not devise a more effectual plan
for destroying their liop-s of preset ri
than by upeing the follies of the lab r
unions of the North. The price of
labor depends upon something else
besides the necessities or tlie Caprice
of laboring men. It is impossible for
such combinations to bull tho market,
or to meet with even partial success.
What might l>e gained at one point,
would bo more titan lost at others.—
The old method is the best method
Supply and demand should be left
alone, as of old, to work out riie prob¬

The following is Georgia in a nut
shell; Population, 1,500,180; whites,
816,906; colored, 725.240; number of
families, 303,060; dwellings,
persous to the square mile, 26.15;
acres to a family, 125.55; area, 59.980

Two negro murderers were hanged
at Knoxville, Tennessee, ou last Fri¬
day. Just as one swung off he said
he was gwine homo to glory. Tbe
other it seems took the fasl train, as
be said he was 'gwine home on do
ebeniug train.’ We think both were
mistaken as to their destination, or
at least they should have been.
The Boston Pwst cifei the fact tiiat
one of the most imp irtant ia/uilts of
Tuesday's victory, so far as tbe Demo ;
mafic parly is concerned, ooug:sts in
the fact that in the next House there
Democratic '
will be a majority of
States. The significance of this result
lies in tins. Incase there should be
three candidates for President in 1884 I
and the electoral vote should be divi-
ded among them so that no one would
have a clear majority over all, the
House will, by constitutional pro vis-
ioo, be called upon to <dect a I'resis
dent. This is done by each State
casting one vote, and that vote is de-
termined by the delegation from that
State in the House. In addition to
the reliable Democratic States, there
will this time be New York, Pennsyl
vania, Indiana, Ohio, California, Con
necticat, Michigan, and probably
Wisconsin and Illinois. In case there
should be a stalwart and a half breed
candidate for the Presidency, two
years hence, and no election by the
people, tho House would proceed to
choose a Democrat,

1 s<j " IllS » aiiC * metric Jiglit is
uot to 1,aV(i the fie!d of opposition
all to itself. A company with large
resources has recently been organized
toimake gas by the decomposition of
steam and liquid hydro carbon on
highly heated lime The operation
produces almost pure hydrogen, which
being carburetted, results iu a gas of
between 30 and 50 candle power. The
process, which was discovered by a
French chemist anl improved by a
Polish one, is said to bo economical,
and it is hoped that the new gis will
supercede coal for mulling engines,
aud possibly in domestic heating and
cookery. It is made without coal
oil being used in its preparation. It
is to be tested in New York by on* or
more gns companies, and if it comes
up to expectations, it will taice the
place of tlie ordinary article.
A Detroit saloon keeper advertises
that he has paid §300 for a year's li-
ecn.se to sill liquors, but that lie means
to volnn a ily restrict his business
within certain moral bounds. 'To the
wife who has a drunkard for a hus¬
band \ c soys in an advertisement,
‘or a friend who is dissipated, I 3ay
emphatically, give me notice of such
cu’es, and all such shall be excluded
from my place. Let. father, mother,
and sisters do likewise, and tlleir re¬
quests shall be regarded. I pay a
heavy tax for the privilege of selling
whiskey and other liquors, and I want
it distinctly understood that I have
no desire to sell, drunkards or to mi¬
nors, or to the poor or destitute. I
much prefer that they save their
m mey and put it where will do the
most good to their families.’
One of the hottest fought party
battles in Congress this winter will
probably be over the admission of
Dakota to the Union. The bill pro
riding for its admission is on the
calendars of both houses, and will he
reached early in the session. The
Republicans will make- desperate ef¬
forts to pass it tin's winter, as with
the end of the session the House of
Representatives passes under control
of tlie Democrats. Dakota elected a
R publican delegate to congress at
tho late election, by an overwhelming
majority, and its admission as a State
means two more Republican Senators
another Republican Congressman and
three Republican votes in the electo¬
ral college in 1884.
The Memphis Appeal utters a loud
voice in favor of a reduction of the
size of tin cotton bale, declaring the
present bale to be unnecessarily and
inconveniently large. 7’he Appeal
states forcibly tlie disadvantages of
the present standard size bale to all
parties concerned, and urges that n
reduction of its size would result in
greatly increased economy and con¬
venience to shippers.
It is said that Frank James is treat-
ed like some honored guest.
apartments in prison are magnificent,
and Gov. Crittenden and the state
bouse officials aud prominent citizens
visit bim frequently and listen to his
interesting tables of adventure. Tnere
is hardly a doubt that he will be pat-
ed after his trial if he is covicted, and
some of his admirers talk about rui*
uing him for governor.
There seem to be considerable dis-
atisfaction among the laboring clas -
es throughout Europe. Franoe pars
ticularly is uneasy and dissatisfied,
apd a terrible ontbreaK may occur at
any moment. The government is
taKiug active and energetic m< asntes
to quell optbreass.

The next Congress is es[eetid to
