MORE SOUTHERN SENSE.

Mr.. d. Wyatt Aiken is one of the
ablest and most respected members Of
the House from South Carolina. He was
a gallant rebel and is a staunch Demo
crat. But he is man with future be-
fore him, and, like most such men, does
not propose to allow his past to be ii per-
manent incumbrancc on his career
He was lately asked by tie editor OF
the Greenville NerS in his State. whether
he thought the South should adhere. rs
unit. to the Democratic party and
whether he favored Barnum' abandoned
plan of counting in Hancock by counting
out the votes of New York for Garfield.
To both of which questions he gives a
very pronounced negative, and then pro-
ceeds to justify Mr.. Evarts' blistcliny

Hancock Lsses ti.e Electoral Vote Of
Georgia

ATLANTA Ga. Dec. 1.-The electorai
vote of Georgia is probably lost to Ham
cock and English for the following rea-
sons; Tila revised statutes Of the United
States provide III gection b, that the
electoral colleges Of .iie several States
shall meet on the first "Wednesday il
December and cast the vote. The Geqr-
gia code, section s'i2, provides that ting
Governor shall notify the electors to meet
at the capital on the first Monday in De-
cember, to be ready on the Wednesday
following to cast the vote. This the Gov
ernor has done. but the electors have not
met to-day or voted. and it is thought by
leading officials and lawyers here that
they have no right to meet and vote next
Wednesday.

GEN. CAMERON predicts that Gen. Gar
field will gather to his support the better
elements Of every section, North, South,
East and West, and that his wisdom
firmness and energy will establish the
country in course of prosperity from
which it will not depart as long as the
Republican party adheres to his policy.
The progressive element OF the solid
South will asserts its independence, and
the Democratic party will no longer con-
troll the Southern vote, Gen. Cameron
thinks. 1t is the opportunity to break up
the soldity of the Southern vote by show
ing the Southern people that progress can
best be promoted by abandoning an in
stitution which has outlived the hope Of
usefulness, the Democratic party, and
by cordially supporting an Administra-
ton devoted to the welfare of the South
as much as that Of the North although
created by Northern votes. that most

lieve, and that no man in the Republic is
more competent than he to use it we do
not doubt.

or two ago two small children Of Mr.
James Campsey. who resides out in Wash
ington county, Pa, short distance over
the State line, were sprinkling Paris green
on some potato vines to kill the Colorado
beetles, or potato bugs. Shortly after
wards they were both taken violently Ill,
with all the symptoms OF arsenical poison
ing, and in spite OF all efforts to counter
act The effects, both died in a few hour.
1t is supposed by the physicians that the
poison was communicated through the
subtle fumes Of the powder, which they
inhaled while using, It is also possible
that the effect was caused by absorption
though the skin. Both the children were
buried in the same coffin. The bereaved
parents have the sympathies Of the whole
community in their double attliction.
