HON. HOLMES CUMMINS, OF TIP
TON, FOR SPEAKER.


We have deferred making mention
of this matter until some expressions
we're had from our neighbors of the
press, in this and other parts of the
State. and until we had learned some
thing of the mindof the members elect.
for the reason that Mr.. Cummins is
our own townsman, and haste on our
part might appear unseemly. Now,
however, that we hear from many quar-
tiers of the State, expressions OF prefer
ence for our Representative for the
position of Speaker Of the next House,
we take pleasure in thus advocating
his election.
Mr.. Cummins is yet young man,
but of good education, mature mind,
ripe Judgment, and firm and decided
opinions. A lawyer of nine years prac-
tice, he has in that time secured fine
and lucrative business, and established
character and professional reputation
of which any one might well feel proud.
He was a member of the last House,
and is one of the five of its members
reelected.
In the last Assembly Mr.. G. proved
himself a man in sympathy with the
people, and of ability as a parliament
arian, thinker and a debater. He
was frequently in the chair in the alb
sence of Speaker McGaughey, and by
his prompt manner in despatch of bus
mess. as well as his familiarity with the
rules of the House, quick perception
and ready decision of questions put to
the chair, won the encomiums of every
one of his associate members. Thus
Mr.. G. possesses all the qualifications
to fit him COR the place, including ripe
experience in its duties. If the next
House expects to do the half of what
is expected of it, then it is of the ut
most Importance to have the most eff
Gent member of that body in the chair
to insure despatch of its business.
And we do not hesitate to say that Mr..
Cummius will come fully up to what is
needed.

DEMOCRATIC NEGROES IN GEOR-
GA.

Speaking of the results of the cleo
ton of Congressman In Georgia, the
augusta Chronicle and Sentinel says:
1.-The democrats carry the State by the
largest majority which they have ever
given in a Congressional election, and
one much larger than was given by any
other State In the recent election. The
total vote is smaller than in any other
year, but the decrease has been upon
the Republican side. The vote of that
party is but little more than half
the vote cast in 1872, while the Dem.
ocratic vote has increased 10000. This
gain must have come from the ranks
of the enemy, andrepresents in part the
votes cast by colored men for the Dem
ocratic candidates. The circumstances
attending the recent campaign were not
such as to cause the polling of a full
vote by the Democracy, except in three
districts of the nine into which the
State is divided-the First, Second and
Seventh. In the others, the Demo-
60. : candidates encountered either no
,lposition, or so little that they had
virtually a walk over. As a conse-
qqpnce. thousands of Democrats did
not 90 to the polls, because they knew
the party had no use for their ballots.
Where. then, did the increased vote
come from? 1t was given by colored
men, vino have hitherto voted the Re-
publican ticket, but who, disguised
v iSil that party. have abandoned it and
,.,,ar ,ver to the Democracy. We have
H. bt that at least 10000 colored
n. in Georgia voted the Democratic
ticact at the recent election"

SCHEME:

PLAN OF THE LOTTERY.

with those numbers on the tickets, printed on
separate slips OF paper, are encircied Sith
small tin tubes, and paced in one wheel. The

then revolved, and a number is drawn from the
wheel of numbers, and at tue same time prize
is drawn from the other wheel The number anO
prizes drawn out are opened and exhibited TO
the audience, and registered by the Commits
siOneIs, the prize being placed against the num-
Der drawn. This operation is repeated until all

The treaty establishing an interna-
tional postal union is objected to at
Wasi aigUon,s on the ground that it
would make a virtual free trade in
foreign books, photographs, ETC., which
can be imported without duty by the
mere payment of the postage.

THE latest from Mullett is that he
does not propose 70 try to continue in
Office, but viii close his affairs with the
government as soon as possible. 1t is
thought that Thomas Walsh, of St.
Louis, who now has charge of the GUS
tom-house construction at that point,
has the inside track for the appoint
ment. We know Walsh's antecedents
tOlerably well, and are quite certain
that the public interests wouid not be
benefited by the change. 1t is a mere
choice of serious evils.

THE managers of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad are considering the feast
bility of a line Of steamers between
Baltimore and some port in France.
There is plenty of freight for export,
and if freight and emigrant business
can be developed on the other side, it
is thought in Baltimore that some of
the French steamships now lying idle
at Havre viii be put in such line, al
though Marseilles is more likely to be
the sailing port In France, on account
of the Italian emigrant business, which
could be had from thence.
