Drifts From Our Exchanges. The youth who turns the wheel for the Monroe Advertiser is evidently straining himself to get up a difficulty with us, but as there is no skating riuk in For syth, on account of the size of the girls shoes, we shall have to let Henry down easy. The Washington letter iu the Monroe Advertiser, from “our special correspon dent,” is no doubt interesting- We had a copy of it a year or two ago—it was in teresting then. The papers are generally fixing up presidents just now. As soon as this business is completed, smaller offices will have to be filled. Among all our State exchanges we know of none that we more admire than the Monroe Advertiser. It is an able, honest paper, and it goes strong for Bayard for the presidency. The only objection we have to Bayard is a consti tutional ‘one. If Delaware is in the United States, we have never heard of it before, and if Bayard is not a native, he cannot be president. We always under stood that Delaware was a little place that the cars had to run through to get to New York, but that it had no sover eign individuality. All the railroads have extended the courtesy of free passes to the representa tives of papers now attending the Press Convention in Savannah, By special invitation the convention will assemble in tbe Hall of the Metropolitan Benevolent Association. Its so, but we can’t help it. Edwin Booth took fify thousand dollars out of Georgia for a very poor show which he Tun a few weeks in this state, while all the Methodist preachers iu Georgia only got forty-five thousand dollars for the whole of their last years work. The Methodist Advocate complains of this state of affairs, but all the advice we can give the preachers is, if they want to make money they better quit preaching and go into the show business. The coiu held by the Georgia national banks on the tenth of last March, accord ing to reports to the comptroller of the curreuoy, amounted to $30,776 90. This is hardly enough to lesume with, but it is more than our neighbors held. The Alabama banks only had 813,395; South Carolina’s $12,821 ; Tennessee’s $21,303 audFlorida’s sllO —Constitution. We would like to know what the Con stitution means by committing itself in this way. There is more coiu iu one bank in Georgia than the frivolous sum of thirty thousand dollars. Augusta wants a railroad to Rabun Gap. Carey Styles has removed from Albany Where will the Col. hang out now? The Acworth Sabbath sohool will pic nic at Ponce do Leon Spring, Atlanta, on .he third Saturday. It is authoritatively stated that ex- Governor Herschel Y. Johnson favors Gen. Colquitt for Governor. The editor of the Marietta Journal has seen some rich gold specimens discover ed near that place. Si Hawkins, of the Covington Enter' prise, complains that the young people of his town do their courting in church. There are some 800 girls attending Baptist female colleges in Geoigia. The buildings cost over §250,000. James Kobinson, a Kentucky horae drover, was stricken with paralysis in Perry, Georgia, and died on the 15th ult. Mrs. W.W, Harrall, of Eastman, while riding horse back, suddenly checked the animal which reared and fell backwards upon her, crushing her ankle. Mutters arc intensifying in southern Georgia. Mr. A. H, McLeod, editor of the W'adley Enterprise, was shot three times by a young man named Battle, a few days ago. If it be true that Savannah is afflicted with small pox, wc feel authorized to state that. Col. Sawyer and H. W. J. Ham,, D. D., will forego the pleasure of studying frontier life at Tybes. Mr. T. J. Jennings, of Augusta, lately tried the experiment of sending two Sa vannah river shad, frozen in ioe, to a friend in Liverpool. The fish arrived there still embedded in the ice and in a perfect state preservation. We have reason to believe that Gen. Colquitt and his friends, including those journals friendly to his claims, expect and hope to have the weight of the.pres ent administrations influence in the con vention to assemble. We have further reason to think that Col. Hardeman and his friends, including those journals fa vorable to his cause, are looking to be backed by the same po., ut ;> w ■ . | how about it anyhow ?

We are inclined to that opinion too, but think he will have to look sharp or he will be juggled out This paper also professes to bo very about there being auy political 'ring” at work in Georgia. Tho Teleg/aph is a wise and good paper, but this is not the first time we have known dirty fingers to be poked into its eyes. Several years ago it found a “model governor.” The LaGrange Reporter thinks ttiat Tilden “stoops to conquer,” and inti mates that he hires newspaper opinions favorable to him. This may be so, but the package of money intended for the Griffin News has miscarried somewhere, and still we are, so to speak, a Tilden man, unless soma better one can be fish ed out of the Democratic pool.
