and dollars.
PRESIDENT HAYES rcitcratcs his civil
service order that no Federal official
shal! take part in nominating convcn-
ton, but like n political Nellie bly,, he

Mrs. SPRAGUE, who has been rcsid-
Ing with her husband since Conklng
put in disappearance, has run away
from her home, taking some of her
children with her. She is doing more
than any one else to bring herself into
disreputc.
The Chester Dulletin has undergone
change in its management, Mr.. Brai-
ncru McLurc retiring and Mr.. II. W.
Clawson, Jr., assuming entire manage
mcnt. The Bulletim is good paper,
and should receive a generous sup
port. We extend to il our best wishes.
TIE Maine Radicals arc sorclv
pressed for original campaign lies.
But their last effort is masterpiece in
lis way. 1t is charged that several
men were recently beaten almost to
death in Georgia because they were
Mcthodi@ts! When it is remembered
that about onc-half Of Georgia is of
the Methodist persuasion, the uniuuc-
ness of this lie challenges admiration.
NEW IOEK CRY is soon TO be af
flictcd with another exhibition ofDcdcs-
trlan lunacy--a walk OF six davs for
the Ashley belt and unnunbcrcd thous-
ands OF gate money. Among the con-
tcstants will be Weston, the champion
of the world, "I'lowcr" Brown, Row
Gil, liazacl, Ennis, and any number of
others, among them Yuba Indian and
dark horse, that is to say, colorcd
pedestrian from Boston. 1t is thought
that the successful man will walk near
six hundred miles.
THIS is not good year for the rail
roads. Besides the troubles and COM
plaints III our own State, Georgia is
preparing strict railroad law. Kcar-
hey is undertaking the job in Calilor-
MA, Whilo Legislative committee at
Saratoga is asking the confidence OF
Vanderbilt. Jcwctt and other railroad
magnutcs as to how they have managed
heretofore to gougc the people. The

TIIE -Nems amd Courier and tho
Augusta Chronicle and Constitution.
a(tSt were both filed with trade re-.
ports OF the fiscal year ending the 31s,
OF August. The reports, while re.
hcctlng great credit Oh tho Journalistic
enterprise of these papers, arc also full
OF interest as indicating " promise o
future prosperity. As tho Nc,ps c,,o
Courier says, we believe that tho tide
Is turning. 1t is impossible for tho
better feeling existing at the North moi
to extend its influence throughout lht
South. Charleston and Augusta hay,
our best wishes.

WHY don't the papers give old ma,
Iilden rest? Everybody knows tina
tho South intends to support the nom
nee OF tho Democratic party whocyc,

She was in 1875, that Tildcn is the ma,
to carry tho Northern States, she will
Votc for him III the nominating convcn
ton. Tildcn is not our choice, but nc
reason exists for abusing him so yiru
lently. When he refused to take II,
arms in defence Of his election he wa.

preparing to fight when tho South

Hewitt, called halt. Old Sam is
little slippery, it must be confessed
but we may all have to hurrah fo

TOO much billed crow and buzzard 70
