YI’ealthy Men in Political Lite.
In the “better days of the Repub¬
lic” many of our eminent statesmen
wereeomjmratively poor. Such men
as Mobster and Clay were continual¬
ly staggering under a burden of debt,
but a grateful and admiring consti¬
tuency honored them time and again
until the very last.
Now, everything is changed.
Eminent adilities are not required in
public life, bnt wcabn is almost
indispensable. It is said that the
next United States Senate will re¬
present more wealth than any body
tluis bus ever assembled in Washing¬
ton. Of the new Senators elected
this year, six are said to be million¬
aires. One of them, Gen. Fair, re¬
turns property in Nevada to the
amount of forty-seven million dol¬
lars. Most of our Senators are the
heads of railroads, banks and other
corporations.
The dangerous feature of the busi¬
ness is that corporations and capital¬
ists seem to instinctively feel that
such men iu Congress are their
natural allies, and this is true. It is
pot at all unlikely that the powerful
corporations of the country will soon
prove stronger than the Government.
This is a danger signal that should
he heeded in time.— Appeal.
The V iee President Elect a
Foreigner.
The suspicion that Vice President¬
elect Arthur was not born in this
country, aud therefore not eligible to
the position to which he has been
elected, has gained considerable
ground in the past few days. A
New York lawyer has made an elab¬
orate examination of the facts, and
it a|>pediv that the records show
that his parent* did not reside iu any
pi the counties of Vermont, where
he is alleged to have beeq born, at
the time of his birth. His own
statements as to where he was born
do not agree any more than do the
statements of the year. His brother
was bom in Fairfield, Vermont, hut
not the President-elect, Chester Al¬
len Arthur. When admitted to
practice Jaw in New York, he claim¬
ed to have been born in 1830, but the
records show that that interesting
*veut could not liayc occurred ear¬
ner than 1832 or 1833. It is stated
as a fact that since he was first in¬
formed of the proposed hunting up
of his genealogy he has been written
letters endeavoring to make old resi¬
dents recall things that did not oc¬
cur. in order to establish h 5 * in
Vermont, but without success. The
developments in the case are so start¬
ling and rest upon strong foundation
of apparent truth that they demand
serious and instant attention. If it
should be shown that English, after
all, is entitled to preside over the
Senate, what a blow to Conkling’s
hopes it will prove! Fickle fortune
will sometimes desert even its most
favored votaries, and if Arthur be
not \ ice President, one great prop
of an overleaping ambition has been
knocked away.— Savauuuh live or¬
der.
NEW POSTAL ROUTES.
The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution says: “The
house has passed the bill to establish
post routes. It is the promise of
greatly improved facilities of com¬
munication iu all parts of the coun¬
try. It widens the usefulness of the
postal service to a wonderful extent.
It proves a liberal spirit in the man¬
agement of postal affairs which is at
once an evidence of the improved
education of the people, and an aid
to further progress.
The bill seems to have been very
fairly prepared, with a just consider¬
ation of the needs of the various
states. The new and rapidly grow¬
ing states, of course, demand more
new routes than the older and more
settled communities where progress
has not so far out-run preparations
already made. ’The only seemingly
too large slice of government pie is
that given to Pennsylvania, but there
were doubtless deficicnces which had
to be supplied iu that densely popu¬
lated state. New York, it will be
seen,does not get nearly so many new
routes as does Pennsylvania. To pro¬
perly estimate the value of these
postal routes to the people we must
remember tlint they accommodate
places which have no railroad facili¬
ties; thin settlements where the mail
rider is everybody’s friends—where
the lirst glimpse of his weary horse
is anxiously looked for on mailditvs,
and a letter or u paper comes like a
burst of sunshine from the bright,
busy wold faraway. The mail rider
is an educator—a sort of automatic
educator, it is true, but a very valua¬
ble member of society neverthe¬
less.
Well, the new bill has set nearly
a thousand fresh mail ideas agoing,
and will make many thousands of
hearts happy. Localities which had
mail before will get other routes in
different directions, while many a
ionoly, lost place bail been sought
out and brought into direct enmmu
ideation with the active thought of
the day and with everybody who
wants to help enliven and improve
it.
Georgia gets twenty-three new
routes, distributed over tlie state very
justly it seems. Some of them eon
neet by new facilities, places now
imperfectly served, while others
trench on new territory whose roads
will make their first acquaintance
with the mail rider.
The following is a list of the new
routes for Georgia:
From Morgan to Ward Station,
Southwestern railroad.
From Spring Place, via Itamy’s
Store and Carter’s, to Talking Rock.
From Hammond’s Mills, via Ors
nan’s, From to Foitehe’s Mills.
Lamar to Suinnterville.
From Ringgold to Crawfish Spring.
From Harlem to Appling C ourt
House.
From Warsaw, via Mazeppa to
Alpharetta. From
Jonesboro to -Milners Store,
From Doravdie to Oak Grove.
From Bartlesville to Person’s
Store.
From Auraria to Juno.
From Tifton, via John Fletcher’s,
senior, and A. E. Clement's, to Wolf
Creek.
From Lumber City, via Sly van
Home, to Clark’s Bluff.
From Dallas, via Embryville, to
Draketown.
From Tugalo to Big Smith’s.
From Baxley’s, via G. J, Bolton’s,
to Daniel Lott's store.
From Baxley to Nicholl’a.
From Beding to Wrightsville.
From House Creek, via William’s
J/tlls, to Wolf Creek.
From Greensboto, via Liberty,
Sunsetview and Noarv’s, to Sparta.
From Wrightsville, via Snell’s
Fortuer. Bridge, over the Ohoopee river, to
From Ilawkinsville to R. A. Bed
good’s.
From Mount Vernon to Gieger's
ATtlls.
The fact that Georgia secures
twenty-three her new routes is trioute
to that representatives. It will be
seen no other southern states is
so fortunate except Texas, and the
great area and growth of Texas ob¬
tained only four more routes than
Georgia.
