SHOULD DE DONE AT ONcE.-The late
Grand Jury took occasion to recommend
to the Board Of Supervisors the propriety
and necessity of having the Court House
Building repaired. This is matter
which has already been long delayed and
should be attended to at once. The found
alton is shaky and the walls are much
weather-worn. In addition to the needed
repairs in these particulars, it has been
suggested that the basement in which the
Jail is located should be thoroughly CO.
mentcd, in order to keep out dampness,
thereby rendering the building more Sc
cure and adding to the comfort OF prison.
ers who may be confined therein. The
center of the building is also settling and
now props or wall through the whole
length is needed. 1t is already late in
the season and we would suggest that if
anything is to be done this year, it should
be begun soon. The Board meets next
week to levy taxes and, although they
caa take no official action in the matter
at that session, it would be we'll for them
to view the building critically and make
arrangements for the necessary repairs
before wet weather comes.

A MooTED QUEsTIoN.-The point in
controversy is the time when Supervis
or elect shall take Office and assume the
duties Of that position. VIM. Guthrie,
from the Third District, was elected first
at the November election in 1872 and did
not take Office until the February Term,
1873, that being tho first session after he
qualified. In 1875, at the September
election, Mr.. Guthrie was re-elected.-
The law says the term of Supervisor
shall be three years and, of course, two
terms are six years. Under this provis-
ion, Mr.. Guthrie claims that his term
does not expire until after the Regular
Novembe Term of this year. On the
other hand, it has been the universal Gus
tom in this county for Supervisors TO take
Office a. the first session after they quali6-
ed The law says Supervisors shall be
elected at the General Election in each
year when such election occurs and upon
the corresponding day in alternate years.
Three years out of every four the Super
visor is elected on the first Wednesday in
September, but on the occasion Of a
Presidential Election the choice of Su
pervisor falls ON that day-the frat Tues
day after the first Monday in November.
The law is silent as to the time when
Supervisor shall take Office, and this fact
to US indicates that the term commences
Immediately on the officer elect qualify
ing according to law. Taking custom as
a precedent, Mr.. Guthrie should step
down and out and Mr.. Flowers, the new
supervisor, represent the Third District
on the Board.

rvAron eoRpoN REELECTED

The telegraph last night brought US the
good news that General Gordon had yester-
day been reelected to the senate by the al
most unanimous vote of the legislature of
Georgia. Not only at the south, but at the
north, in all the States and by men Of all
classes and phases of political faith, this
prompt Endorsement of faithful public SER
want viii be hailed with satisfaction No
man has done more, very few as much for
the south IN the past four years as he. He
has been polite without sinking his own
manhood or jeopardIzing the good will of his
supporters, and he has, at critical moments,
notably during and after the electoral quar-
rel, exhibited q very high degree Of political
sagacity and craftsmanship. How much of
her deliverance South Carolina owes
to him it would take more than al the col
umns Of the APPEAL to tell. For her ne
played diplomat, and discovered an aptness for
| the part that some, day he may be called upon
to play as the representative of the republic
OF which he IS one Of the most illusrious
citizens. The Democrats Of Georgia have, IN
his selection, justified the faith in them Of
their fellow-partisans in all the States by
whom the craftsmanship of Gordon is now
generally conceded. Manly and courageous,
firm without being positive, intelligent and
earnest, a willing learner, polite and suave,
a gentleman always, he is an honor to the
State he represents, and the section that
looks 10 him as one of the coming men.
Gordon has all the clements Of popularity,
and may reasonably hope and expect some
day, soon perhaps, to fill higher place than
Georgia has given him.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMpAIGS.

The Columbus, Ohio, correspondent OF the
New York Graphic makes a very exhaustive
and interesting review of the political pros
poets in 1880, in the course of which he
passes judgment ON Voorhees,, M Donald and
Hendricks, of Indiana, and Ewing, PendIe-
ton and Thurman, of Ono, concluding that,
as, by common consent, the Presidency is
conceded by the party to western Demo-
crat, the race lies between Thurman and
Hendricks. OF the Republicans he men.
tons Blaine, Conkling, Stanley Mathews
and Garfield, with a very decided leaning
toward the two former. He recalls the
attitude as Greenbackers of such Republican
leaders as Morton, Ferry, Logan and Sher-
man, before he became secretary Of
the treasury, and concludes that SIT is too
early yet to forecast the situation nine months
hence with any certainty; but speculations
are rite, and they all tend to campaign
more mixed, if possible, than this years.
The spring elections alone can determine
what part the Nationalist will play. Then
the Republican position will be defined, and
its tendency to indorse or reject the National
ideas will become clear. Should the move
ment among the hardmoney Democrats in
the Indiana legislature to defeat Voorhees, be
successful, its influence in placing the Demo-
cratic party back IN its hardmoney position
would be very marked IN the Buckeye State.
The effect of the result in 1879 on Thurman S
Presidential chances will call out the party s
strongest man intrenched in the strongest
position possible fer the party to assume.
Altogether, it will be the most exciting cam
paign waged in the State since war times.
Already the political atmosphere is clouded
so densely that the shrewdest prophet cannot
see through it. When the mists clear away,
the red bandana will be the Democratic
standard -

BUSINESS CRISIS I'm ENGLAND

American newspaper correspondents, writ
ing from England, give very discouragipg
details as to the state Of business affairs
there. That the failure of the great Glas-
gov bank was the start of a commercial
panic that will devastate the entire business
community of Great Britain appears certain.
That such a crisis was approaching was fore
seen six months ago; Smith, Edwards &
Co.'S Liverpool circular, in a paragraph we
published in the APPEAL at the time, dis
tinctly pointed ont what was coming. The
consequences of the disaster will be widely
felt. The New York Bulletin observes:
This condition of things in England cannot
iaIi to affect the markets here. Failures
neau a stoppage of demand, and certain
extent of forced sales, which in turn means
lower prices; and lower prices in the British
markets mean a fall in values the world over,
The United States included. It may quite
possibly prove that the impression, very gen
eral on this side the Atlantic, that values
have seen their lowest point is mistaken.
There are symptoms on every hand that the
reactionary process that set In FIVE years ago
will find its final solution in the lowest range
of prices that has been known since the in

QUARRELINGE OVER BARREN HON


The New York Graphic and st. Louis
Globe Democrat are quaIreling over the pa
rentage of the thIrd-term idea, as if there
was a chance for ever making tangability
out of the most ridiculous chimera that even
seized on empty heads. In its issue foI
Monday the latter paper has this to say
about it:
The New York Graphic can take the blue ribbon
for cheek. II now claims to have been the first pa
per the country to recognize the fact that Grant
would be the candidate or the Republican party In
1880. The truth is that the Graphic made this dis
covery in May, 1873, whereas the Globe Democrat
November, 1877. In the Language OF Mr.. Benton,
SOLITARY and alone, we set this ball In motion. -
We were SOLITARY and alone" In the business tOl
sometime, but stuck to 1t, nevertheless. Now we
have all the politicians and most OF the Republican
newspapers with US.
So far from having most of the RePubll-
can papers and all the Republican politicians
with it in favor of what the New York
Herald was really the first to originate, the
Gh6e-D Democrat will find that it is now all
alone, and that Hayes, Blaine and Conk-
ling are the Republicans of the future. Grant
was killed by Hayes. The contrast between
their administrations is so wide-the one for
law and order and the other for repression
and oppression ard bloodshed-that even

knowledge 1t and turn their backs On the
