MAKING THEM INFAMOUS.

In the presen. condition of things
any Republican may wake any
morning and iod himself infamous.
What Democrats have been saying
to an unbelieSinig generation about
Republican leaders for years, Re
pubicans themselves are now testi
Tying to. 1t is one of the mysteries
of the world that for many years in
telIigent Republican voters have
gone 90 electiDg to Office men whose
records we're VIGOROUSLY bad, and
have refused to listen to the truth
when it was told them. A year ago
if Sessions had been the Republican
candidate for Governor of New
York, and Seymour the Democratic
candidate, the chances are that Ses-
sicDs the most corrupt of politicians
would have been elected. The one
certain good result of Conkling's in
vestigating committee at Albany
will be the making of general cor
ruption among Republican leaders
30 certain that honest men will new,
or support them again.

OLD LAW PARTNER A
PAUPER.

Bill Herndon is a pauper q.
Springfield, Ill. He was once worth
considerable property. His mind
was the most argumentative Of any
of the old lawyers in the State and
mis- memory was extraordinary. For
several years before Lincoln was
nominated for the Presidency Hern
don was in some respects the most
active member Of the firm, preparing
the greatest number of cases for trial
and making elaborate arguments in
their behalf /, is said that he work.
ed hard with Lincoln in preparing
the memorial speeches delivered by
the man who afterward became Pres
ident during the debates between
Lincoln and Douglas 10 1858, and
in constructing the Copper Institute
address delivered by Lincoln short
time before the war. Herndon, with
all his attainments, was a man who
now and then went on spres, and
it was no uncommon thing for him
to leave an important law suit and
several days in drinking an carous-
ing. This habit became worse after
Lincoln's death, and, like poor Dick
Yates, Herndon went down step by
step till his old friends and associ-
ates point to him as a common
drunkard.

GEORGIA REPUBLICANS.

Wednesday the State Ceutra
Committee of the Republican party
in Georgia met in Atlanta, with q
full attendance, and proceeded tc
consider the situation as it relates tc
their party in the South, and espec-
tally in Georgia. The questions re
lating to party policy we're fully dis
cussed. The question as to whether
a better fight could be made agaiusI
the Democracy by the aid of So
called Independents, or whether the
Republicans had better put forth a
s,tsight ticket, was carefully con-
sidered, aud i! was finally determin
ed that the average Georgia lnde-
pendent Democrat is a fraud, and
that while be promises all sorts OF
things 10 che negroes 10 his can vsss

SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.

A new rope factory has been put in
successful operation at New Orleans.
1t now gives employ ment to about
forty persons, including many wo-
men, but when the additional msohi-

increased, and Messrs. Ranlet. &

heaviest cable.
The rope turned out by the facto,

THE POPULARITY OF BICYCLES

The Philadelphia Times, in sn in
teresting article 90 bicycling, says
that "of the four hundred gentlemen
who ride bicy cles in Philadelphia,
more than three bundled are middle>
aged business men, who take morn>
ing and evening constituents on
the roads around the city. The
average speed obtained by the riders
of this class 10 about seven miles an
hour, but there are several middle
aged wheelmen who have made re-
cords Of ten, and in one case fifteen
and a half miles an hour" The
Times says that the concessions
granted to the wheelman by the
park commissioners are too LIMITED,
aud isteps will e ssS en- iasskasS them
increased. 1t adds: 1T would be
difficult TO invent An exercise more
calculated to call into play every
muscle of the body than bicycling
does, and if carefully prsc.iced, and
not abused, the benefit to be derived
from it is incalculable. Late statis>
tics show that there are 100000
wheelman in England, and over So
600 in London.
Three young men of Marietta, Mr.
Albert Dobbs, Mr.. r. NJ. Cleveland
and Mr.. Charles Freyer have order
ed bicycles and we will soon see the
machine in motion.

EDUCATION AND THE BALLOT -
In its progress towards free cOnsti
tutional government Italy is about
to try an experiment which will be
watched with interest by the enlight
ened Statement of both continents. -
The government has formally an
nounced to the Chamber of Deputies
that no scheme would be proposed
for the extension of suffrage except
to such persons as have received "a
sound, standard elementary educa
ton" By setting up an educational
test for suffrage Italy may again
become a teacher of the science OF
governmen, to the nations, who have
long looked upon her only as the
somewhat impoverished inheritor OF
the best traditions of art.

SOME disguised fiends in Spring

When General Grant was known

When General Grant was known
as the Silent, men thought him wise.
He talks this year, and his talk is not
creditable to him or to those who

degrading copceptiOnof public affairs
than that which General Grant seems

OUR CONVICT SYSTEM.

A great deal Of sickly sentimen>
taIity has been expended over those
thieves, murderers, Iincendiaries and
other scoundreIs now serving terms
in our penitentiary for violating the
laws of the land. Whenever q poll
tician wants promotion, he forthwith
panders to the preiudices of the ne
gro by endesvoriug to knock a
shackIe from the convicss. The sys>
TEN has thus been tempered with
uu,l crime is being robbed Of it's
msrited punishment and the condi-
tion of convicts placed on par with
other laborsrs. Our convict system
is now 40 admirable one, only there
is too much leniency enforced, and
we hope the Legislature will let it
alone. But it is augoed that the
North considers, it relic of barba-
rism. Let that section think just
wha, it wants. We are not running
our State in the interest of Mssss
chGsetts, but of Georgia. So long
as the tax payers are satisfied it mat
ters very little to US whether our
laws are pslasahle to the North
or not. We hope that the General
Assembly in July will devote more
time to the legitimate business of the
State and give our people = rest
about that peni,eutiary. They are
heartily sick of this misplaced pills
anthropy, and the honest voters
don't Intend to tolerate any more OF
it.-TOplethoroe Echo.
