NM Rnsiness Outlook.

Reference has been made recently to
The encouraging business outlook which
has been gathered from various sections
Of the country through the newspaper
press. The New York Hza4 Of Friday,
in 4 long andcareiulIy considered article,
gives abundant reasons for the ASSERTION
that the great commercial rsyulsiOu
under which industry and enterprise have
been dormant 50 many months has spent
its force, and that business Of all kinds
is about to revive. 1t gives lev Of the
facts which lead to that belief, and justify
the hope that the year 1875 will mark
the beginning Of new era Of general
prosperity. Among those We briefly con-
dense the following IL. Economy in
business and living expenses, and redue.
ton Of rents, .. The cheapening Of pro-
ductiou by abundant food crops for two
Year,, which have lowered the price Of
the neCessariea Of life, 8. The west owes
less money than every befOn, 1. The
south is more prosperous, because she
owes but little while her sugar and cotton
crops are increasing. 5. Prices Of meF-
chandise are now 90 low that merchants
do not incur a great risk in carrying
stocks Of goods. Production also has
been so far cheapencd that already
last fall We began to export cOttOn'
to China and Cumberland coal TO the
West Indies, 9. The action Of Congress
on the currency question is now seen sC
Be unimpOrtant in its results; it will mo-
either initiate or contract, and for q yea
to come, except in the unlikely case of I
foreign war, business men may begin ne'
enterprises without the fear Of sudden o.
great changes in values or prices. Th'
banks are on the whole in healthy con
dillon, and it is good sign that the!
look with suspicion on accommodation
paper, notwithstanding the low rulinl
rates Of interest, which naturally temp
to imprudens investments,

than his Democratic competitor, but is
OS2short Of having an absolute majority
Of all the votes cast. Last year, Weston,
Democrat, had AGO more votes than his
Republican opponent, but was also short

Ing no choice ofGovernor by the people,
the question WILDE referred to theIegiSla-
tnfe for decision. In the Senate, there
are i've Senators Of each party chosen,
with no choice in two districts. In the
House the Republicans have II majority.
The Two hOnses, in joint session, will oil
The scntofial vacancies with Republicans,
Increasing their majority to 10, and then
elect The Republican candidates for Cover
nor and Railroad Commissioner. The
Democratic have elected three out Of the
i've Councillors and will therefore corr
troll that body, thus exercising a check
uponthe Govethof'sa appointments. They
have also elected two out Of tic three
Congressman, a gain Of one. In each CON
gtessionai district there were three can.
didates, but an absolute majority Of all
The votes not being required to elect a
member, there isa choice in each dis.
ttici, though by small pluralities. In
the Fist District, where the Republican
plurality in 1879 was 37S, the Democrats
atc successful this year by 1856. In the
Second District which then had but I

have ii7. In the Third District, which
then had 1888 Democratic plurality, the
Republicans now have 2O7 The dis.

It that the b. o. r, 3, Coz seriously
contemplate locating Railroad Car Shop

let u, therefore, hope that Col. Sharp
and his colleagusion will come to the

IL location and have its construction
pushed without delay to final eOnsum'
nation.
Such 4 large branch Of industry would
open new era to the prosperity Of our

Distressing Casualty.

EllSOtS intclllgencer:
A most distressing accident occurred in
Gilmer county on Monday, the 10Th inst.
A man whose name We have forgotten
was moving in a wagon. lie had, besides
some household goods, his vile and FIVE
children in the wagon. Owing to the re.
cent rains the streams were very much
swollen, and although warned not to at
tempt Il, he started across Steer Creek.
The rapid current overturned the wagon,
and all were struggling in the ioaniihg
waters. One child Clung 10 his arm while
the man with his wife IN his arms vainly
attempted to reach the shore. He finally
loosened his hold upon his wife and she
sunk to rise no more. lie reached the
bank with the ono child. A wife and four
children persisted before his eyes. The
bodies have not yet been fOdhd. II.
