It is a handsome I •licet but above all we admire it as another offshoot of political independence in Georgia. North Georgia took the lead in freeing the people from the shackles of riug tricksters and it is gratifying . to see so many aide papers in middle Georgia entering the lists against the tyranny >f party eli ijues and combinations. Let the movement go on and the people of Georgia will be free tram cor rupt parly domination in 1880. Hie Dalton Headlight "ha* a table of two frogs, elevated, by climbing over the heads ol* the multitude of frogs, to the branch *■* of a live where they had e\ pry Thing to supply their wants, and where they lived for a long time growing fat and saucy.

The Dress. North. Hast. South aud West, pronounce the Vonnti tutioH not inferior, as a newspa jxr, t* the best ideal of the craft. Apart from the fact (hat it is sotua what ring-bound —some what too partisan—it reflects the highest credit upan journalism. Senator Hill itt li is recent speech on the Mltehel ease in the Senate laitl down a platform for the democratic parly; “payment of no war claim*, loyal *r dielov al-no more appropriations, in any , shape, for monopolies; the pay , meat of every dollar of the pub 1 lie debt in good money; honesty , and economy in the administra tion of government,confining it to it*- limited powers and leaving,' the State* to their reserved &>•- c,reign powers." , Mr. Hill mnv very well doubt! * * f t he acceptance of his platform by i the party. The great “organized” i on both sides.kave but one main object in view.—the control of 1 the government—and neither of them at this stage of the gutaeis going to hamper iuelf with polit ical crotchets that may endanger success. Eaolt will frame a plat form to suit the occasion ;ns well i ■ as it can judge. His objection to the payment of war claims, if on the ground that there are thousands in the South who opposed secession and were net disloyal, entitled to payment, most of whom will never apply to congress and many are not able to apply, it is unjust to tax these, who aratpaor, to pay those who are nbletahnve their claims passed through con gress. One of the objections urged by the representatives of Califor nia to Chinese immigration was that they are pagans and would not assimilate with Christians. Another objection was that they can live on less and labor for less than would sustain the most hum ble American laborer. Such ob jections have weight, but are not without answer; the only ob jection to which there can be no answer, in a republic considering ♦ heir influx, is the fact, that they remain devoted to their own Em pire and can never a stimulate, politically with other systems of government , aud CncU Stun lias no desire to see California an ap pondage of the’Chinese Empire. Matt Carpenter hud a brilliant, popular reception in Washington recently, but a writer thinks it was significant only of “the man mi horseback*’ to whose fortunes Carpenter is devoted. The writer says: •*Jt was noticeable, too, tha* all those who figured prominently in to-night's demonstration were Grant men. In the hotel lobby the Maine of the -old man,” as lie is endearingly called here, was on many lips. It was like wise noticeable that not a single member of the Wiucoitsiu dele gallon in congress honored the blow-out with his presence. As a whole the demonstrtaion was to say the least flattering to some- , body ; but whether Carpenter or (•rant was meant to be the hero of the occasion, those who foot the bills can only tell. To still further boost “the man on horse back." there is a movement, brewing to give Chandler astuu ning reception oh his arrival here with his Senatorial Corn mission. It will far eclipse tonight's effort,; will lie more elaborate and bang up, interspersed with more chin ning about the necessity of a , strong government, etc. Logan ! will also be handsomely treated, and of course all those sponta neous eruptions mean one for those who receive them and a dozen for the silent man. The teal Crant mevment has begun in Washington, and the furor is to be kapt up by using some con venient itroxv until “the old man.’* iu his own good time, re turns to bis native healh.” The Fret Ert*t speaking ol the prospective candidates for Gv ernor of Georgia says: It may be (Ten. Toombs. Gen. Wofford, Judge A. It. Wright; or it may be Judge Johnson, or Gen. Gartrell if lie is brave enough to put himself outside of the ring rule ami autocratic democracy. We think the people are alnml determined to think and act Im themselves. Once aroused, we know they will do both. That is i true ami genuine democracy. It ! is only the democracy left worth I contending for. It i# the only line TilK FIRM) AM FIRESIDE—MARIETTA.

The go-called “organized" de mocracy, with its rings and cli quea, combinations and shyster ing, iias ceased to impress honest minds with the semblance of true democracy'. It has become a vast machinery propelled by many the people—in tiie interest, of t he few. It has established a parti sn aristocracy, and none can cu ter the sanctum, sanctorum unless capable j#f whispering the shib boleth tftihe faithful few who are admitted to close communion; or in other words, undertstand the true meaning of “you tickle me and I’ll tickle you !” That sort of democracy* however, has been ‘weighed in the balance and found wanting.” So we repeat, the true democ I racy—we mean the rank and Jilt* of the people—will fix the (jues ! tion as to who will be the next ! governor of Georgia. H i* true i the newspapers, as a whole, will be arrayed against the people in 1 this great struggle of establishing ■ true democracy against ring rule; i but we hope there will be enough 5 of them sufficiently' independent i to act for and with the people on I the line of genuine and true ! democracy. >So we do not yet know who w ill ibe our next governor.

A dispatch to the Times from Vienna states that from fifteen to twenty fresh cases of a disease resembling the plague occur daily iat Xonthia, Thessaly, and there I is a great mortality from the same : cause at Raslog. I IIOTV THK PL AO l’K OIUOI.N ATKIt. London, Feb. 3.—The British Medical Journal publishes the following: The Vienna Medico j cherwiqical Ventral Watt, of Jan nary 24tli, states the origin of the i pestilence in Russia as follows: • A Cossack, returning from war to Wetlianka, brought his lady love a shawl, which was probab ly a part of his spoil. The girl were it two days and sickened with all symptoms of the plague and died. During the following four days, the other members of her family sickened and died. | The disease spread rapidly, but j the local authorities did not pay any attention to it till half the in I habitants of the village had died, j and those remaining alive were I unable to bury the victims. The j epidemic had assumed Serious I dimensions by the2sth of Novem ber, but the Government wie only informed of it officially mi the 11 tli of December. Ten day s further time elapsed before any systematic or energetic means ! were taken for prevontiusr its I spreading further. The authorities have since then : exerted themselves to the utmost !to make up for lost time. As | the only way of arresting the disease is to prevent all commu nications between the district s where it reigns and others which are healthy, a double cordon is being formed, firstly, in the towns and villages shutting off the streets where the plague reigns from the rest *f the pla e. and, secondly, by siuroumling the places with the troops, so that nobedy is allowed to pass in or out. Quarantines are also being instituted on the borders of tlie infected governments and are strictly watched. The population is said to take an active part in p venting the crossing of the salary line, which begins at fiamvanwsk and runs upwards on both borders of the Volga to Batagnaska. Four quarantine have been founded in Sarepta. lrwaitowka, Otrada and Zaritzin. A great drawback is the want of medical men. Hie panic in Russia is almost incredible. Every class and sta i lion in lite have petitioned for the eutire cessation of all inter course, even postal cotnimtuica 1 tiou, between the rest of Russia and the V’olga. Letters sent from Astrachan and Lcaritzin are not received by the persons to whom they are addressed. .Smite people even refuse te take paper money. . fearing the germ of the infection might be com muni cat ml through it. M‘*Ht VKK‘ ,\l TION London, Feb. B—The / an t correspondent at Berlin, say -: The Russian railway cars no long er are admitted to German Ter ritory. The export of grain for Poland will suiter severely' from this restriction. The Roumanian : Government are discussing the expediency' of prohibiting the i transit of Russian provisions ; sent to victual the Balkan army. The Ru-'iah >anitary commission ha* proposed to shut off the Volga line from all intercourse with ; Western Russia, and permit com- 1 munication only under quaran tine.— Columbus Eng. Sun.
