The Georgia Legislature met last
ednesday. Hons. H. H. Carlton,
of Clarke, was elected president of
ijjthe Senate and W. A. Little, of Mus-
VOgee, speaker of the House, Mark
Hardin was elected clerk of
House and Hon. W. A. Harris,
retary of the Senate.
CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS,
The Democratic party has been
successful in electing its presidential
ticket, and Cleveland and Hendricks
have been commissioned by the peo
ple of the Nation to act as its chief
executives for the next four years.
For twenty years the party has, in
tbefaceofa succession of defeats,
retained confidence in its principles
and a faith that they would eventual
ly prevail, and at last its patience
has been rewarded with victory.
The demands of the party iu all
its campaigns have been for aD hon
est and economical administration of
the government, and the gross cor
ruption and extravagance of the Re
publican party has shown to the
country that they had good reason
to call for a change. The prejudices
engendered by the war and kept up
by demagogues since, blinded the
people of the north to the short-com
ings of the party in power for a long
time, buttim,e:has allayed all these
and opened the eyes of the people to
the. facts ’that;'they were controlled
by unscrupuibns men, who sought
positions of trust only to be used for
their private benefit.
The Democrats now have a fair
chance to prove their sincerity, and
we believe they will do it to the sat
isfaction of the whole country. In
Grover Cleveland as their chief, they
have a man who has carried with
him reform into every station which
he has been called to occupy, and it
is not reasonable to suppose that he
will neglect the grandest opportunity
of his life to put into execution those
principles which have eleva’ed him
to the high office he has been called
on to fill, Iu all his efforts to inau
gurate a reform and place the gov
ernment on the most ptogressive
principles, he will be ably seconded
by his vice and all the leading men
of the party. We confidently look
for a better state of affairs in the
government, and a revival of all the
business interests of the country.
T. J. Harper, he Georgia P c fie Railroad
igent at Temple was assaulted and fatally
voundad by robbers Saturday night.
The fatal affair occurred at Temple Satur
day night between 11 and 12 o’clock, and
intelligence of it reached the city early yes
terday morning. All trains on the Georgia
Pacific road were thrown off schedule time
by a break, m a bridge near Birmingham,
md the passenger train wh ch usually rea
ches Atlanta a eight o.eoicte, p. m., did not
arrive night before last, Mi came in.
EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING.
It passed Temple about tea or fifteen min
utes before midnight, and Mr, Harper, who
had been advised by telegraph of the broken
schedule, was on the watch. He met the
train when it stopped at the depot, and as
w«s his custom, received the mail pouch
and other packages cons<goed to that place.
The night was dark and the hour so late
that all the villagers were in, and alone Mr.
Harper witnessed th earrival and departure
of the train. As the train rolled away the
baggage master waved his hand at Mr. Har
per who turning around started towards the
depot. But he had taken only a few steps
when a man approached and struck him
over the head with a stick. The blow was
a fearful one and Mr. Harper staggered
backward.
BUT DID NOT FALL.
Tfi^n gathered himself and made a spring at
his assaiiklJVp -J^ho received him a deodlv
knife, which he begSfl-,-4jsing with terrible
eff ct. The knife bia e was keen,
and every time it entered Mr.
flesh an ngly and dangerous wound was
made. Mr. Harper was unarmed, but real
izing tbathe was the custodian of the road’s
property at that station he declined to gi e
in, and with his lantern fought the wouldbe
assassin bravely. The duel between the two
men—the one a robber armed with a dead
ly knife, and the other an honest man with
nothing but a lantern—was a fearful one.
The night was intensely dark and
NO ONE WAS NEAR
to protect the almost detenteless man, yet he
stood his ground until the loss of blood from
a half score wounds made him sink to the
snund almost lifeless. As soon Mr. Harper
fell the robber turned upon heels and walked
away without even touching the pouch or
express packages,or even searching Mr. Har
per’s 1 dike's After the r seal had skipped
out Mr. Harper made an attempt to crawl to
the dr pot, but finding himself too weak he
placed the mail sack under his head and laid
down to await the coming of day, well
knowing that he won’d then be found
Soon after this a Mr. Johnson bapened to be
out, and hearing Mr. Harper’s groans went,
to the depot to investigate. He found Mr.
Harper and then securing a : d ;e noved him
to the depot. Mr- Harper then ai tempted to
use the telegraph wires to inform the rail
road officials iu Birmingham of what had
occurred, but found himself
too weak to-manipnlate the key: He then
had a message w.fittSJO which -Mr. Johnson

WORTH OF ELEGANT
The Republicans made every effort
to get up a confusion over the return
of the election in N. Y„ the pivotal
state, so that they would have some
ebauce to carry it before partisan
judges and have it dee ded in their
favor. That game was too shallow.
The Democrats,with memory of 1876
still fresh, watched them at every
stage and made everything so plain
that they could get no pretext on
which to squabble.
