The yellow lever is decreasing in Jacksonville, and all other p >ints. Madfson, Ga. up to 251 h inst., liad received 1,000 bale? of cotton. It is thought Louisville, Ivy. had one death from yellow fever last week—oneol the refugees. The 25th inst., Pennsylvania re nominated. Sam’l J Randall of the ord. district, lor congress. The pike roads between Macon and Athens are now being orna mented with iron bridges over all the little creeks. Yellow lever will, no doubt, have Its effect on commerce. Trade will be stagnant for several months in Florida and Mississippi. The Homer correspondent to the Constitution of the 25th inst., thinks “that Mr. Coggins will be elected to represent us in the next Legislature.” Glad he thinks so, Birmingham, Ala. had frost 25th inst. She now feels safe from yel low fever, and has modified lur quarantine. Ollier places have followed suit Theyellow lever has caused u .- told trouble and sorrow in thous ands of families in Florida and oth er places. Some losing their dear ones an 1 others wrecking their homes aid property. It i■ r i whito and oao tug eaniiid -t ax collector in otic* nk> 8 - iLintuH. Tho negro, duo >, !

In Lis sp o hfl Saturday he put them under the head of “party lash es. ’’ i a iswor his case after the 6th of Nov-mher. The assurance to Texas, that she lias no yellow fever, and is not like ly to have this season, does not keep her from being a little shy, She gives hints occasionally about shutting her gates—especially in Dallas and Fort Worth. Politics in Georgia are getting red-hot with the colored man. He wants the republicans to put him in representation in the legislature, the nalional halls ot congress and the senate. -lust after the war the negro was satisfied if the republicans would give him that “forty acres and a mule” they promised him. They never done it; but they gave him power to vote, so that he might keep them in otlice. Now he wants cilice at their hands, but they can’t give it to him—they wouldn't if they could. What has become of Blaine? The Trusts’ must have him walled in for fear of being made into bag ging. He hasn’t been heard from in several weeks on the bagging swindle. He bit oil’too big apiece when he undertook to tell the U. S. this syndicate was an individu al affair lhat the cotton-planters must come to. lialeigh, N, C. closed her gates on Florida and other yellow fever points, 25th inst. There is nothing like being in style. It would not do for (he boards of health of every little hamlet town to let this op portunity slip. They must keep apace with their larger neighbors, if they be recognized as points of trade with the commercial world. And the fleeing refugees were met with shot-guns along the Mis sissippi river. This was a true in dication of Ihe hostility and barbar ism that exists in the Mississippi Valley. These llity and illiterate creatures are fever proof. There is only one thing that gets next to their hide—a drowning out every year or two. Meridian, Miss., lias concluded it is belter to starve her people to deafh, than let them die of yellow fever. No freights are allowed to come within twenty miles. The stores have exhausted their sup plies, and the people are closed in want. Guards are stationed at all points. Those going out are not allowed to return for twenty days. , Correspondents from Belton, writing to the Clarksville Adver tiser, says, “To-day, Pickett is a better democrat than Candler.’’ The only reason with the above writers for believing this: They are Pickett men and disorganizes. Be il to the praise of the 9th con gressional district, there is but few of these sort of democrats in her bounds. They are disorganizers iu sympathy with the republican party. The sooner they vote the straight-out republican ticket, the better for the democratic party. Pickett vs. Candler. Pickett spoke here last Saturday as he had announced previous by gome small dodgers. A good crowd was present. lie held them about three hours. His speech was scat tering. The only point of interest in his argument was the Blair Educa tional Bill, He charged Col. Can dler with its defeat so far. Cand ler was chairman of the committee and had no vote. Seven to five of the committee voted against the passage of the bill. Had the vote been a tie then Mr. Candler would have had a vote. He made other petty charges, but Col. Candler be ing present refuted them* Pickett is a shrewd man. His chances in this district for congress are out of the question. Pickett came here in a closed carriage, made the acquaintance of but a few, addressed the crowd and left, Col. Candler listened attentive ly to Pickett's speech, in which were some very insulting and false accusations thrust at him. But the colonel understood the occasion, and carried out the principles of a gentleman ot fine sense of honor, which he is. After Mr, Pickett closed Col. Candler asked his presence, but lie left at once. Col. Candler made a few re marks, refuting Pickett’s charges. These were not necessary, especial ly in Banks. Col. McCarty was present, and simply informed the voters he was the nominee lor senator in this dis trict, and wanted his name placed on their ticket, which had already been done. Col. J, N. Ross, one of the edit ors of the Jackson Herald, accom panied Col. McCarty over here, Mr, Ross gave the Observer a so cial call. Afraid of Him, The following incident which we copy from the Washington correspon dence of the Gainesville Eagle, shows that the ILpablicans in' congress are heartily afraid of Col. Candler and his course in the Honse of Representatives. What could more stroDgly commend him to the hearty support of every true democrat in the 9ih district than this? Here is the extract: “ While standing at the Metropoli tan Hotel cigar counter, glancing over the paperi- privilege which is allow ed correi-potidrute, arid one which is taken ly sib ■►men —I not ced a bea vy set ahd renaitallv intelligent look ing geutlemar eagri y reading Sunday’s C i.Siii ution P.e en \ he looked ov er to his tnlnd.

He is the hardest nan to down in the Hotse when he sets his head that way. He has given us some liaid fights on several ’mportant meas ures. Xou know there is a mooashir e preacher miming against him, and he is having a struggle, but I’ll bet he’il gst there, though i hope he won't. Lower, Butte, Agensy,—via. Cham berlin, Dak., September 27.—A coun cil of the Sioux delegates with their agents, has met here to discuss the Si oux bill for signatures. They met to day lor their second day's work. The bill having been fully explained by the commissioners yesterday, the In dians wera to day expected to state their objections ©r opinions, and to ask for any needed information. Af- Americue, Ga., Sept. 27.—Cabrles Blackman, tbe murderer of Stonewall Tondee, has been sentenced to be hang ed on the 19th of October. Black man was self-possessed and did not seem to appreciate the solemnity of the situation. Chas. Blackman, as the evidence goes, walked deliberately np to the back of the store in which Mr. Ton dee was clerking, and there, in the darkness of night, with malice afore thought, deliberately murdered tho said Tondee. The deed was committed ia September 1885, since which time ev ery effort has been made to save Black man’s neck without avail. Now, for the last time, ha is sentenced to be hanged. He has cost Behley county thousands of dollars, and when dispos ed of tbe county will breathe a breath of relief. After tho sentence was pro nounced the sheriff and guaids return ed to the train, which immediately left for Americas. W.
