He is to be remov ed from Washington to the moun tains ol I'ennsylvaniit for recupera tion of his health. Through courtesy of Col. A. D. Candler, wo have had the pleasure of examining the Mills Bill, as it passed the House of Representa tives. Sam Jones created a sensation at Chatau, N, Y., the other day by de claring to an audience of 5,000 people that Cleveland will here elected. The British government, in deal ing with Mr, Parnell and the Irish question, grows more and more contemptible every day. The home rule issue, however, will win. A colored paper published in Cincinnati says that “Douglass, Langston and Lynch go to every republican convention and come to the front in the Lazarus act,” ex hibiting their political sores. Well, it is an easy way to make money. The New v ork Commercial wants the ‘ Middle Man” done away with. When this ia done, monopolies will not need protection. Tho middle man is v hat plays havoc with low prices A bite per cent, goes for his benefit. Ben. Sherman wants it understood that he is going to take part in the national campaign. It is rery likely Mr Sherman will leave his money baga in Washington. They would be too cumbersome to carry. He is net likely to ride in the same coach with Mr. Blaine. Several republican papers are trying to pick fan at the democratic party's platform. The trouble is, the platform n akes a clean sweep of the political ground. There is nothing left for the repnblioans to stand on. They are like a’possum trying to cling to a persimmon hash. Three American ladies have been extended the franking privil ege for their letters and have thus no use for postage stamps. They are Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Grant, the wives of ex-presi dents. Their letters are entitled to free conveyance through the public mails. The California stage driver who committed suicide the other day by sitting on a fifty pound can of giant powder and touching it off showed that he was thoroughly selfish and brutal. If a man must kill himself, let him do it in a way that will not shock his neighbors and tear up the surrounding country, Michigan will go democratic, so says the Detroit Free Press. It is very likely other republican spates will fall into line. The Mills Bill. By a majority of 13 votes the Mills Tariff Bill has passed the House of Representatives, and has been transmitted to the Senate. From the best information we are able to attain from our exchanges, it is not at all likely that it will be passed by thati body at this ses sion, and probably not at all. Judge Branham has retired from the race ."or congress. The follow ing is his card: “To the voters of the 7th Con gressional District: For private reasons, not necessary to mention to the public, I have retired from the congressional race. I am deep ly grateful to those who have tend ered me their aid and support, and return my sincere thanks to them. Respectfully, J, Branham,” C. C, Nelson, the absconding president of the North Side Sav ings Bank of Atlanta, has been traced by detectives to Trenton, Canada, and arrested. He cannot be brought back and prosecuted, because, under the extradition laws, the money cannot be identi fied, but he will be prosecuted un der the laws of the dominion for carrying stolen goods into the country. The latest advices state that he has turned over to the de-- tectives all die money he had on deposit in New Xork. The Mills Bill places the follow ing articles on the free list; Lumber, hewn and sawed, and manufactured woods, salt, hemp, jute, sheet iron, tin plates, iodine, croton oil, cotton seed oil, petrole um, and essential oils, opium, cot ton ties, meats, game and poultry, A duty of 50 cents per ounce is placed on morphine, sll to sls per ton on railway bars, one cent, per pound on nails, on sugar, from one and fifteen one hundreths to two and four fifth cents per pound. Wool is free of duty, but the manufactured woolen articles pay a duty of forty to fifty per cent, advalorem. The Hon. Mr. Bynum of Indiana, Indiana will be the most hotly contested state in the coming cam paign. The Indiana democrats are known to be the best fighting dem ocrats in America, and they pro pose to hold the state in the demo cratic ranks in spite of the nomina tion of Gen, Harrison for the presi dency. Of all the fighting democrats in Indiana, none stands so high or is ranked so efficient in a hand-to-, hand struggle as Hon. Mr. Bynqm, who will address the people of Georgia and the adjoining states at the Piedmont Chautauqua on July 26. It is an open secret that on Mr. Bynum more than on any oth er man the democrats of Indiana do pend for carrying the state against the prestige of Gen. Harrison’s nomination. Mr. Bynum comes to Georgia to tell the people of the fight in Indi ana, and of the great issues upon which the campaign is to be pitch ed. His address will be eloquent and inspiring, and all democrats should go out to hear him,—[Ban ner-Watchman. To Col. Csndler’s Credit. If Col. Candler had deserted his poet in Washington and come home and gone into all the eonntiea of thia dis trict and canvassed for his re nomina tion. in all probability he wonld not hsye lost a aingle county, bnt be pre terred to faithfully discharge the dnty resting npon him, (andjnst thia time hie presence was greatly needed in Washington) and therefore he did not feel like sacrificing the interest of hia constituents to farther his own person al ambition, if indeed he i- ambitioua to re-election. He is w&tohfni of the peop'e’s inters**, is mak'i.g a good representative, and we are *? a'ified to see so many c< unties mstiu ing their delegatee f r him, notwith-tn ding the fight others are making for rne nomi nation. Col Candler's nomi na ion is already ansurfd and we are glad of it. H* deserve* te election, and the die triet wonld be ungrateful to a faithful and able man if it did not renom n*e and re elect bim.--[Cherokee Ad van te.
