AUGUSTA, GA, Nov. 19.-In the

Gordon was almost unanimously

the Houses, carrying every vote in
the Senate, and all but five in the
Houe of Representatives. Sire
nuous efforts were made to organize
an opposition, but without success.
No man in the Senate could be
found, who would nominate another
candidate and four of the five vo-
ting against him in the House, were
Independents from the Seventh
Congressional district. This is con-
sidered the greatest political tri-
umph ever achieved IN Georgia.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Prince Don 4.
doukoff KorsakOff, the Governor of
Bulgaria, has arrived at Odessa on
his way to Livodia to report upon
the state of affairs in Turkey.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Times thinks, in view of the fact
that Prince Korsakoff had expressed
his opposition to the treaty of Ber-
lin the appointment of another Gov
ernor for Bulgaria is probable.
1t is said that the Pasha formerly
first secretary to the Sultan, now
Governor of the Province of Brous-
sa, has been recalled to CONSTANT
nople, and, it is rumored, will as
sumo the Ministry of Public Works.
This is an important indication of
the supremacy of English influence
in Turkish affairs. 1t is said the
Pasha was sent into a species of
honorable exile at Broussa on ac-
count of his friendship for Mr..
Layard, British Ambassador to Con-
stantinople, and his strong English
sympathies, which were SO well
known that he was nicknamed The
Englishman." e. #Es
Bucharest newspapers publish the
particulars of the Russian demands,
which, if correct, materially detract
from their significance. They seem
only to have asked an increase of
facilities for inter-communication
during the term of occupation of
Bulgaria nevertheless, according
to the Roumania Liberia (newspa-
PER-, the Bucharest Government has
declined the Russian
proposals, declaring that the existing
facilities are ali that Russia needs,
according to the treaty of Berlin
and the Russo-Roumanian Conven~
ton.

The war of races has begun, and
that, too, in our very midst. The
negroes and Irish living at the foot
of capitol hill have been at logger
heads for a few weeks past. Last
Sunday night the negroes held a
mass meeting and adopted resolu-
tions that on Monday night they
would clean out the Irish popula-
ton. Monday night came and with
it about rs negro men who
commenced the bombardment
with rocks and brick-bats in
the neighborhood mentioned. The
Irish were about to return the COM
pliment when two policemen ap-
peared and succeeded in arresting
two and dispensing the rest. It is
said the Irish intend to get rein
forcements and wipe out the ne
