WIrHoUr the fear of Mr. Hayes civil
service order before his eyes, Ex-Gov.
Powers, Internal Revenue Collector, at
tended Republican meeting at Macon
recently. He formally pronounced the
death Of the Republican party Of Missis-
sippi which he properly attributed TO its
unprincipled aud corrupt leadership,
thereby attesting the charges which were
constantly urged through the Democra tic
press. The adoption OF the following
resolution explains the real object of
the meeting. Allgood is the Radical
leader in Noxubee county and the an
nouncement of the pretended demise of
the Republican party coupled with his
endorsement for Sheriff. is designed for
the two-fold purpose Of putting the Dem
ocracy off their guard and at the same
time ralIyiDg the Republicans to his
standard Our friends in Noxubee have
no doubt seen the point and will govern
themselves accordingly:
Resolved That in4smnch as B. Allgood
has made for the people of NoXubee county
an able and efficient Sheriff, we believe It to
be a Just recognition o: his services to Goa
continue him in his present position for
another term. and we therefore pledge to
him our earnest support for reelection at
the coming NoYem Der election.

THE CAUSE.

The Forsyth Advertiser says we
have frequently spoken of the dis
position of our people to 60 to Tex
as. 10 addition to those already
gone, few others speak of going in
a short time. While we regret to
give them up, we must admit that
they give some good excuses. They
say that the land owners and mon
eyed men of our country bear down
so hard on them that it is impossible
for them to get in a position to be
independent. Many are forced to
ask for accommodation in the spring,
with which to make their crops, and
the time prices demanded are very
high. To pay fifteen cents for ba-
con when the cash price is from nine
to ten cents is ruinous. Again land
is offered, when for sale q. all, on
condition that place the purchase
out of the reach of poor men. A
farmer, honest, industrious and anx.
ious to get a homestead applied to g
land owner to purchase small tract
of land. We believe there was no
difficulty about agreeing upon the
price but the applicant could only
give ten per cent interest on the
deferred payments. The land own
err said he could rent the land to me-
groes and make twenty-five per
cent yearly, and therefore be could
not agree to take ten per cent. -
While he has an undoubted right to
do as he pIeases with ais own prop
erty, yet this course will almost de-
populate the county of the proper
class of farmers, who will most cer~
tainly 60 to the western otstes with
the expectation of finding relief If
our wealthiest citizens and large
land owners would build up the
the county, bring in others till the
unfenced fields which now lie idle,
they will pursue liberal policy and
lend helping hand to the honest
men who only want fair showing.

of Atlanta, delivered at the Court House, in
this city, his famous lecture patchwork
Palace" to one of the largest audiences ever
assembled in Marietta on any similar occa
sion. For over one hour and half, Mr..
Grady kept his audience entertained as but
few lecturers have the capacity ofdong. 1t
was decidedly success, and gave our people
an intellectual treat that elected encomiums
frem all sides. The lecture was truly lit
crary gem, string of pearls, full of pathos,
sentiment, humor and good sense. His
style of delivery is easy, his diction rich and
elegant while his flow of beautiful thoughts
were such as to captivate and please. He
must come again and give us another as good
as Patchwork Palace"

The demand for less Legislation is
now universal. Three States, Min
nesota, Mississippi and Virginia,
have, during the past month made
the sessions of their Legislatures BIZ
enniel instead of annual as they were
formerly. The Board of Trade of
New York follows in their footsteps,
and wants Congress TO meet only bi
ennially, holding that all the inter>
ests of this country, commercial and
industrial suffer from the constant
change of laws made by Congress.
And, now, a similar demand for bi
ennial session of the Legislature has
been made by the people of Cameron
parish, louisiana.

THE VOTE.

The vote of Georgia on the ques-
tions Of ratification Of the new con-
stitution, the adoption Of the new or
old homestead, and the capital ques-
ton, as given by the Atlanta Tri'
bune, from official figures, is as fol
lows: The majority for the new
constitution is 60, $50; the majority
for the homestea d Of 1877 is 40, 72l,
and the majority for Atlanta as the
capital is, according to the figures of
the Tribune, who has access to the
returns, 43, $40. The whole vote
cast on the capital question was l54,>
346, on the adoption of the consti-
tuition l54, 348, and on the home
stead question was l4G,655. The
analysis of the above vote shows
that on the capital question, the
First, Third and Sixth districts gave
msiorities for Milledgeville, while
the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh,
Eighth and Ninth gave majorities
for Atlanta. Upon the question OF
the ratification of the constitution,
the following shows the spirit: All
of the Congressional districts gave
majorities for the new constitution.
Between the homesteads Of 1868
and 1877, there seems to have been
a more decided difference of opinion,
and the vote is comparatively closer,
especially in the Fifth Congressional
district, where there was only diff
ference Of sixty-three votes in favor
of the new homestead of 1877. As
compared with the last Presidential
election, it will be seen that the full
vote of Georgia was not brought out,
the total vote then being | SO. go, of
which TiIden received 1870, 063.

EDrToRs JOURNAL This has been Il
week of comparative dissipation in our
usually quiet little village. On Thursday
night last, the Roswell Dramatic Club gave
an entertainment for the benefit of the Sun
day Schools, and the charades, music, tab
leauX, etc, reflected much credit upon
the actors, and afforded much pleasure to the
audience. On Friday night, the stars had
but began TO shine, when throng of young
and old began to wend their way to Greer's
Hall, where the pupils of Col. Faw's school
were TO close the scholastic year with an ex
hibition. Defamation and composition,
interspersed with dialogue, filling up the
programme of the evening. Mr.. Faw has
done good work in our midst, being both
capable and thoroughly efficient as a teacher,
and richly deserves the measure of success
which is crowning his efforts to build up
and sustain a strictly first class school in our
village.
On Saturday night the Club repeated
their performance by special request, and
the hearty approval of those who had wit
messed the first performance, secured them
a large audience. and enabled them to ma
terially aid our Sabbath School in the pur-
chase of new books

The color line, says the Boston
Post, was broken in Georgia COM
pletely at the last election. The
colored people voted in all sorts OF
ways at their own sweet wills, and
with as much freedom as they could
have done in Boston. This, says
the Post, is answer enough to the
croaking few who still think that the
colored man in the South is the vic
tim of unmitigated persecution at the
hands of his white neighbor. The
Post is right. The colored man in
Georgia is not only free to vote all
sorts of ways at his own sweet will,
but is sometimes literally paid for
voting.
