The spread of the Mormon senti-
ment in North Georgia is illustrated
by the following announcement
which appears in the Atlanta Con-
stitution, signed by Walter Scott,
president ofthe Mormon Conference I:
"The Annual Conference of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints will be held in Mormon Meet
ing Houses, FELTON,, HARRISON county,

ofthe Southern State mission" 1t is
said that people. mostly women. are
leaving northwest Georgia by the
carload for Utah.

1t looks as if the days of Fusion
In Maine were numbered. There
was good deal of plain talk in the
democratic Convention of the Sec
Ond Congressional District last week,
when ex-Governor Garcelon ofsavory
memory urged the endorsement OF
the Greenbaek candidate. One dele
gate said: "There is no hope OF
electing eur candidate, but if we in.
dorse the nomination of the Green.
back Convention, we shall not only
be defeated, but disgraced." This
was so nearly the sentiment Of the
convention that when the name Of 8
straight Democratic candidate wa:
presented he was nominated by &C.
,clamation without a dissenting vote

votes in the House, and nine in the
Senate, with the present Republican
senators holding over. In that event
the o. L. d. would hold the balance
of power In the House, as 46 votes

A pittsburg paper states that DIR
Agnew charges the President a thous-

charge about the same. If Bliss and
the Others expect fees in proportion,
the distinguished patient, provided
he is to pay the bills, has very little
announcement to get we'll. 1t will

against the registers of voters ff the
Second. Fourth, Ninth, Tent, rhir-
teenth and Sixteenth wards ws con-
cluded before Governor Hsnilton
yesterday. The counsel for tie pros
ecutiCn, as well as for the iefence,
made exhaustive argumeIts. and
both are confident of the resiit. Gov
ernor Hamilton, however has kept
his counsel well, and no me knows
what his decision viii be. Mr..
Joseph s. Heulsler made he opening
speech for the prosecution, and Gen.
Bradley T. johnson cised on the
same side. These gentlmen did not
confine their arguments merely to
the technical Questionsinvolved, but
launched out on the broader sea Of
registration frauds as among the most
formidable agencies il depriving the
people of a fair vote and an honest
count, and pointed cut that registra-
ton abuses must necessarily continue
unless heroic treatment be resorted
to and the registration officers forced
to comply strictly with the law. as it
is on the statute books. Gen. John
sons argument was devoted to a
demonstration that the number of
names on the present registration is
out of all proportion to the voting
population of the city, the male pop.
ulation, the votes as cast in recent
years and the police census. Mr..
Bernard Carter and Mr.. James A,
L.. Mcclure made the arguments fol
the defence. Mr.. Carter made the
strongest legal presentation of the
case, fully covering all phases of the
case from his standpoint. 1t was a
mastery effort. and when he had
finished. very little remained unsaid
on the part of the defence. Mr.. Nc
Clure made the closing speech for the
defence, and advanced some new
theories to prove that the registers
were not guilty of the charges made
against them. In his closing speech
General johnson, for the first time
during the investigation. was the
recipient of applause from the audi.
ence, whose sympathies rather ran
the other way, by an eloquent re-.
ference to the valer of the Irish race,
and an allusion to his own deyotion
to the Democratic party. Public
attention will now be transferred
from the court to the Governor,
whose decision is awaited, not only
with anxiety and concern by the
accused registers, but with interest
by the citizens OF Maryland. The in.
vestigation has shown the necessity
OF new registration law, and the
advantages that an annual registra-
ton would afford; but there already
is an apprehension in the minds of
the people that if the Democratic
majority in the next legislature is as
large as it has been in lis predeces-
sors, nothing in the direction of a
purified registration will be accomp.

GRIscOM FINISHES his EAST.

Chicago, July 12.-Griscom passed
very restless night, and when examined
this morning his pulse was found to be
66. A little before noon he was attended
by about forty physicians. He went to
the stage of the olympic theatre where
table had been elaborately set for his
first meal in forty-6ve days. About
thousand persons occupied the parquette
and balconies to witness the breaking of
his fast. Griscom was introduced by DIR.
w. K. Harrison, who gave his personal
and professional assurance that the fast
had been bona fde in every respect.
Grscom responded briefly, but in voice
sufficiently full and strong to be easily
heard all over the house. He gave a
brief review of the Tanner fast and made
comparisons between his undertaking
and that of the former. He believed
fasting beneficial and thoroughly con-
sistent. He then placed himself at the
table, which was set in the middle of the
stage aud bountifully set with straw.
berries, milk toast, peaches, bread, cheese
and cakes and jeilies. He broke his fast
by slowly drinking glass of milk. This
he followed with second, pleasantly
conyersing with the audience. He slowly
ate two slices of milk toast and drank a
cup of coffee. He then ate large saucer
of ripe strawberries, covering them with
sugar. The only effect of the food was
to induce full feeling in his head. He
said the food tasted very good, but he
wasn't suffering from hunger. The first
moutl,fuls were loudly cheered. His
dinner lasted about one hour.

GEN. GARE,ELp,s mAxlms.

At this hour the eloquent and impress
sive sentiments of Gen. Garfield, gath
cred from his many public speeches, will
be read and remembered. They speak
of the nobility OF character of the man,
and his motives and ambitions. Mr.,
Smallay says: "There is probably no
living political orator whose efforts be-
fore large audiences are SO effectual."
Mr.. Thayer, in his book, "From the
log cabin to the white house," makes a
collection of many of these terse, elo-
quent, and instructive sentences.
In an address upon one occasion, Gen,
Garfield said:
