Putting it SqmareIy.

The New York Tribune is the most
ofiGious, if not the official, organ of the
new Administration, and it reads the
law to the Chamberlain and Packard
concerns in a business-like way. 1t takes
up the Democratic slogan of the late
canvass, and tells them that they are a
reproach to popular government and
that they must get out of sight, without
standing upon the order of doing it, and
that the military props on which they
depend are to be removed. Here is what
4 says:
Messrs. Chamberlain and the rest must
look the situation in the face. Public opin
ion i in revolt against them. Whatever
basis there may be for their present claims
the fact is clear that their government does
not rest upon the consent of that part of the
comm unity which is alone capable ofsus-
tanning a government They have tried
force ard have failed. The North is not
willing that they should try it much longer.
If they cannot come to an aceo mmodatiOn
with the people they are set to rule over,
they are likely to ruin, not only themselves
but their Federal supporters.

WHILE we cannot applaud the means
by which Judge Matthews proposed to
get of the carpet bag psetension of gov
ernment in Louisiana-viz by helping
Packard, the head of the concern, to a
better place, we think well of the inten
ton, and regard it as an admission that
it is q humbug. Nevertheless we are
bound to admit that Packard made fair
hit when he said that he declined to dis
cuss the question with Matthews for the
reason that Matthews had proven Pack
ards right to the Governorship of Louis
lana in his argument before the Electoral
Commission in favor of Hayes.

SAD SUICIDE.
Joe White Shoots Himself because
He Could Not Resist Drink.


Mr.. Joseph White, the Clerk of the
Board of County Commissioners, who
was SO we'll known for his gentlemauly
conduct and business qualifications, shot
himself last evening".
White was not married, and only
twenty-nine years OLD. He was the sole
support OF his mother and his two Sis
ters, with whom he lived at No. 1853
Spring street.
For some time past White has been on
q continued spree. A few days ago he
remarked despondingly to his mother:
Il can't 1--we any more; 1 can't stop
drinking and think l Will kill myself"
His mother became alarmed and burst
into tears, when White tried to quiet
her by saying that he did not mean
what he had said. Yesterday morning
he came TO the Courthouse, seemingly
as light-hearted as ever. He spoke to
his friends, none of whom had an idea
that this was probably the last meeting
with Joe during his life.
He took several drinks during the
day with number of friends, but was
not intoxicated. About O'Clock last
evening, he left for home. On his way
he stopped at a saloon on Woodward
street and drank two or three glasses OF
beer. He arrived home about 7 o'clock,
his supper waiting for him.
He did not partake Of it, however, but
went directly to his room without say
ing anything to his mother or sis sters.
Alter a minute or two pistolshot was
heard, and when his agonized mother
ran in, White was found lying in his
blood and a pistol-ball through his head.
The bullet had entered the right temple
and thence through the brain.
Doctors Bigney, Logan and Walker
were called in, but could do nothing In
the case.
All last night Joe White was laboring
for life in terrible agony, and was stiff
breathing this morning.
Between and O'clock this morning
poor Joe White breathed his last. Coro.
ner Stitch was notified and held an in
quest at the house.
From the testimony given by his
mother il was found that the deceased
came home about 10 minutes after 7, and
that he did the shooting in the front
room Immediately after.
Henry Becker, who lives in the same
house, testified that White asked him
and several others last evening, while
in the Woodward-street Exchange, to
take drink. The deceased had re-
marked to him last spring that he was
tired Of life. He did not hear any thing
to this effect of late, however.
On leaving the Courthouse last even
ing, White remarked TO the janitor that
he would not be around in the morning.
He then went to saloon in the neigh
borhood and took a glass OF seltzer
water. He was perfectly sober at the
time. The jury returned q verdict OF
death from "suicide by shooting, while

A SHOWER OF RocKs.---On Friday oil
last week, in the early afternoon, on
Covington street, in Social Circle, there
occurred one OF the strangest phenom-
ena that was ever seen in Georgia. Ii
was nothing more nor less than "a genu-
inc shower of stones, varying In size
from as large as hens egg to that Of a
mans two fists. The stones are of IT.
regular shape, OF a dark grayish color,
interspersed with a bright, shiny sub
stance resembling isinglass. The shower
was very brief, and extended over not
more than four acres OF ground, and fol-
lowed an explosive sound not unlike
cannonading. A panicky feeling per-
yaded the vicinity visited by the shower.
Happily, every one except a negro wo-
man was in doors at the time, else some
one might have been injured. One rock,
as large as mans Two lists, came near
striking this woman. AS many as a
dozen stones fell on the roof of the ed
itor's house, though witho ut doing much

Lady Smith, the widow OF, the founder
of the Linn@an Society, who died the
other day at the age OF one hundred and
tour, had unusual vital energy TO the
last. Her teeth were almost perfect,
her ey esight did not fail her till she had
lived century, and then only failed SO
far that she was unable to read, being
still able, as she said, TO see the land
scape, and her hearing was at worst only
little "hard." What is much more
wonderful, she retained her memory up
to the Very last, correcting a friend
within week of her death as to
