THE PROBLEM.

Blaine Favorsa New Election in Lout
siana and SOuihC arOlinA Tho south
ern Republicans AT sea and Prepared
30 Turn Against kellogg and Corhin
Might Associated Press Report.l
A special to New York paper says
number OF informal caucuses have
been held by the Southern Republicans
during the past day or two, and they
have, with few exceptions, expressed
determination TO do everything In
their power to prevent the recognition
and success OF the Nichols and
Hampton governments. Should they
fail in this, as is now believed to be
probable, they will, or at least they
say they will, change the political
complexion of the upper House OF
Congress by voting against the admis-
sion OF Mr.. Kellogg from Louisiana,
and Mr.. Corbin from South Carolina.
Mr., Blaine now favors new election
in South Carolina and Louisiana. He
takes this, ground as he is quoted, In
view of the possibility that the presi-
dent may not recognize Packard and
Chamberlain.

From HIS Old Homo.

We clip the following pleasant no.
tice Of a distinguished citizen Of Dsl>
las, from the Columbus Daily Times Of
the 9Th instant:
ave publish to-day the correspond
ence between Mr.. A. H. Shepherd, OF
Dallas, Texas, and Governor A. H.
Colquit, ofGeorgia, In reference to the
splendid Centennial banner' pre-
scented by Texas to Georgia as the
"banner Democratic State Of the c0un-
try" Mr.. Shepherd is an old Column
bus man, and brother to our worthy
citizen, Colonel Ed. II. Ehep-
herd, of Wynnton. He went to Texas
before the war, but when the troubles
set In, he returned to Georgia and en-
tered the Confederate service as
y private Georgia volunteer
and as Georgia VOLUNTEER
for the war" Georgia had many
aye, thousands OF gallant sons In her
regiments--but she b ad none more gall
liant, or more unselfishly patriotic,
than was Private Hayward Shepherd.
He entered the service private, and
remained n private to the last day at
Appomattox, and returned to his old
home a private. mortified In his de.
feat, but still game, and proud as an
emperor. He was one-perhaps the
possibly the only one that served
through the entire war and declined
every offer of promotion from the
ranks. His education, social position,
private wealth, sterling qualities as
man and as soldier, fitted
him for the high official useful
ness anywhere; and high places OF
honor and trust in the army were FREE
quently offered him, but they were
uniformly declined with the remark
that the ranks were more In need OF
men than the offices, and he ,oouid
stay In the ranks.
After the war Mr.. Shepherd returned
to the State of his adoption--Texas---
and settled near the thriving town of
Dallas, where he now resides. That he
has not forgotten Georgia and her his
tory, Is evinced IL his letter to Gov.
Colquitt. And the defiant warning
that he fiings back, Of determination,
four years hence, to wipe out that 81,
900 and get his banner back, shows
that he does not relish being turned
down" by his old mother State In 1875
much more than he did his defeat by
his old Uncle Sam In 1855.
