Georgia Politics ANA statesmen.

Gath in the Enquirer: Senator Cor
don 1t Is proposed to send TO Europe
next spring TO induce Scotch emigra-
ton to Georgia. He IL the best man
to present that case, clear ofstatement,
fine looking, painstaking, and really
DESTROYS of building up that best OF
regions in the south. The Scotch are
the best people he can get; Swiss and
Hungarians are also people adaptable
to Georgia, and some Prussians and
Alsaoians.
The intention OF southern men like
Gordon and Hill are admirable. Moth.
ing but good intentions chivalrio
intentions, Undecided Gordon TO
espouse the presidents quarrel with
Conkling. Yet one ought to be sure
that our intentions will bear the
criticisms of our enemies. AT the
present time 1t Is very hard for a
southern senator of talent to exert his
abilities frankly and not be miscon~
strued. They require to exercise
caution as well rs devotion. The
settlement of GordoD's difference with
Conkling was credltable to Gordon
particularly. He might have got some
vulgar popularity out Of fight, but he
does not need 1t.

The story OF modern Georgia politics,
rs am told, was combination made
between Howell Cobb, To0mbs and
Stephens, about 1856, which made
Cobb governor, Toombs senator and
reelected Stephens to congress. Cobb
il regarded AZ the ablest-headed man
Georgia has produced, Toombs as the
most willful and individual orator and
Stephens as the most subtle politician.
Hill wentinto Stephens district when a
lad and stumped 80 personally and
liercely against him that Stephens,
whose skin Is thin as u mosquito net,
sent Hill o challange. Toombs also
wac subject to HIPS virile attacks,
and hate resulted. Gordon came up in
the war as fine officer, and his
activity and zeal have certainly made
him strong senator.
