Georgia Elections.


We look with much interest to the result Of
this election. 1t is testof the popular capa-
city to renoance the shackles of party and Sc
Iect their representatives upon the just basis Of
personal competency, and the adaptation of
political principle to the promotion Of popular
welfare. as H
The Geovgia organization as we understand
it is emphatically republican; it neither en-
dorses the Executive supremacy Of the Demo
Gratis, nor the consolidation Of the Federalists
1t does not deem it the interest of the States
that the General Government should construct
ments within the States; nor does it deem it a
patriotic obligation upon the people Of Georgia
to advocate an increase of duties for the nur-
ture Of local interest, when the climate, raw
material, and position of Georgia, are in them
selves protection adequate to the support of
any manufactures by hand or machinery which
may be established in that State The repub-
lican organization Of Georgia does not advocate
restoration of the ancient fiscal connexion be-
tween the Federal Government and National
Bank, because, as the cons,itutionality of such
an institution depended upon its necessity, there
is no longer any propriety in adding to the pow
ers Of the Government OF the patronage of the
Executive.
1t is impossible to predict the result of this
attempt at political reform. Those who owe
their positions entirely to their connexion with
party, are of course indignant, or apprehensive
of the result. We note, as good effect of
this new division, that some Of the most vehe-
ment advocates of Dsunion three years ago,
are now reproaching the Republicans with de-
signing. to revive the sectional dispute now SO
happily adjusted.
Somehow we have been inclined TO connect
the rumored appointment of the Hon. HOWELL
CoBB, as Minister TO France, with the politics
of Georgia. Certainly nothing could better
consolidate the Democracy of Georgia than the
nomination of that gentleman, and in this view
we have been inclined to consider the repub-
lican organization of Georgia so formidable as
to render some such measure necessary to De-
mocratlc success.

HERoIc WoMAN.-Two or three nights since
the depot at North Abingdon, Massachusetts,
was burglariously entered, when Mrs. Frost, the
wife of the depot master, whose house is in the
samo building, discovered the intruder and imme-
diately attacked him. The scamp attempted to
escape through window, and had partly got out,
when Mrs Frost closed the window upon him,
and held him for some moments under the sash,
but he at length effected his escape before assist
ance arrived.

THE PorAro Ror.-From almost every direc-
ton we hear complaints of this scourge Of the
farmer. Near Newburyport, Massachusetts,, whole
fields are lost. An exchange says:
'sA farmer started with load for Boston the
other day, which he supposed to be good, and had
not reached half tho distance before he was con-
vinced that they were worthless, and growing no
better very fast, and he accordingly turned them
into pasture and went home. Some fields have
been ploughed up without attempting to dig at
all; and it is observed that in some instances the
disease has spread to the squash vines, which are
alike destroyed"
On Long Island the disease is very bad Pro-
baby one-third of the ground planted will never
be dug. Some fields are partially and some en-
tirely gone. Several farmers ploughing up
the ground without pretending to save any pota-
toes. Those in rich soil are the worst. The crop
on the island must be very light one.
In central New York we hear the same COM
plaint The late hot weather and showers will
not help the matter any.

EmIGRATIoN.- the spring quarter of the
present year, 1880 emigrants sailed from all
the ports of the United Kingdom, of whom 76,
GAG left Liverpool, 1858 London, 3,722 Glas-
gov and Grccnock, and 1898 the ports of Ire
land-from which it appears that nearly two
thirds Of the whole emigration passed through
Liverpool. As regards the destination of the en-
igrants, more than two-thrds, or 78, ,205, came to
the United States, while %, ,l07 went to British
America, II ,l52 to the Australian colonies, and
495 to other places. All the attractions Of the
Australian gold placers do not in any material
degree affect the general tendency of migration to
America. The Irish exodus continues unabated,
the poorer classes being constantly on the go, and
money pouring from the United States to aid it.

A NEw YORKER has brought forth new in
vention in the form of life and re-bucket for
steamers, which may be of utility. 1t is rather
larger than an ordinary water-bucket, but holds
no more water, the bottom and sides being filled
with cork, enough to support two persons each in
the sea. It is intended to take the place of the
common buckets kept standing with water on the
decks of steamers, and, in case of need, to serve
as a life -preserver.

MuRpERED.-The remains of human body,
horribly mangled and cut up, were found secrcted
under one of the wharves at New Orleans, on the
18th instant The remains were disposed in u
box, the legs were cut and doubled up, and the
head severed from the body. Two holes were
found in the back part of the skull, reaching the
brain, and probably the cause of death. 1t was
supposed to be the body of returned Californian,
who had been murdered for his money.

FANCY BALLs--We are glad to see by the re-
ports from various watering places and other fash
ionable summer resorts, that there is q prospect
that the miserable farces of clancy balls and the
ridiculous putting on of customs representing in
most cases characters Of questionable morality, is
about to be stopped. The New York Herald,
touching the close of the watering place season,
says:
ssThe signs Of the times display very pleasing
and astonishing fact in watering place annals.
The close ofthe season is no more to be celebrated
with the bal costume, which is very amusing in
Europe, but is a great bore here; the characters
are never we'll sustained, or well dressed. Your
fat man always dresses for Robert Macaire, de-
barbour, while your thin, lanterned- -jawed fellow
essays bluff Harry the Eighth, or Napoleon; your
Charles the Second thinks waltzing immoral be-
cause he can't do it, and your Cromwell gets very
blue ON bad champagne, flirts with all the women,
and is carried to bed by four servants. The wo-
men are equally gauche the blondes always select
characters which should be sustained by brunettes,
and rice rersa. For these, and many other rea-
sons, we are glad that the fashion is changed.
The Saratoga season is to be closed with regu-
lar old-fashioned Sir Roger de Coverley, chorus
jig, Virginia reel, Hull's Victory dance, where
every one participate, and where fat old stock
brokers can astonish the weak nerves of their af-
fectionate heirs by the display ofa degree of vigor
which makes the demise so soon expected appear
uncomfortably far off in the perspective"

MELANCHOLY BEREAvEMENT-1tco Children
Dro,cned-On Saturday last two little girls, ten

themselves by going into the brook a few rods
from their fathers house; and at the time only

too late.--W Windsor lKt.l Chronicle.

A MAGNIFICENT ScHEME.--We learn that a
distinguished gentleman of this State, who re-
Gently visited Europe, has succeeded in organizing
q company, with capital of ten millions sterling,
for the purpose Of establishing more direct route
of transportation thence betwden New York, San
Francisco and China. The object Of the COM
pany is to construct railroad direct from Sa-
vannah to Pensacola, Mobile and New Or
leans, and another road from the Gulf to the
Pacific. The connexions on the Atlantic, the
Gulf and Pacific, are to be made with frst-class
steamers-the time between San Francisco and
New York to be reduced to from fifteen to eigh-
teen days.
We give the rumor as we received it, without
pretending to be minute in the detnils. We have
no reason to doubt either the organization Of the
company or the practicability of the scheme. 1t
is indeed magnificent project, and will accom-
plish at one-halfthe cost all that is contemplated
by the great overland route. If carried into exc
cution, it will make Savannah the queen city Of
the South, and place her at once upon the great
between China and Liverpool. Ex-
tensve this scheme appears to DO, it is destined
to be carried into execution, because it is de-
manded by the commerce of the world.

their duty to their focks. Those who are well

testant clergyman up town has been for some days
very i'll with the yellow fever, but is now, we be-
lieve, convalescent. The Rev. Mr.. Aylward,

Moynehan, of st. Peters, Catholic clergymen,
are under its influence; and the Rev. J. E. Bin,
of St. Augustin 8, on the Bayou road, has died of

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A FEMALE-A FIEND
