The Cole Charter.

The Atlanta Constitution devotes con
siderable space to criticism of our re-
Gently expressed objections to certain
features of the Cole charter. While we
never opposed Col. Coles scheme, as a
scheme, we were informed that his pro-
posed charter contained unusual and
inordInate concessions, which, when
pointed out, Col. Cole was understood
to have professed his willingness to re-
linquish.
In common with others we regarded
the concession to Col. Cole of a joint use
of tracks, ETC., of existing companies as
unjust, although fully aware that the
language of the Constitution in refer
ence to the States right of eminent do
main could be construed. at least literal
lY, to warrant the grant of the privilege
demanded by Col. Cole. We had IN
derstoOd that all that he and his asso-
ciates wished was "to spend eight mil
lions in Georgia, to lay their tracks and
run their cars" It turns out that they
want the use Of other companies termi-
nal facilities. and the might of the State
has been called in to silence objection,
however justifsble.

The Philadelphia american, which has

The Philadelphia american, which has
been one of the few Republican papers
opposed to the reputation exploitation
of its party in Virginia, says:
Zone word for the North. A year
ago there were no words strong
enough to denounce the Democrats
of Maine for their alliance with the
Greenback faction in order to con-
quer a Republican State. They were
held responsible for all the utterances of
the Greenback platform of that State.
They were told of the immortality of
abandoning their own principles for the
sake of a party victory. And when the
whole party, represented by Mr. Han
cock, its candidate, expressed its Joy
at the October election, il was charged
with completely in all the doings
and plannings Of the Greenback party.
Where is the failure in the parallel be-
tween Maine and FirginIa7 Mr.. Malone
is no Republican; if he is, why did he
not enter the party and declare his ap-
proval of its national platforms Be
tween his principles as regards public
honesty and that platform, there is a
great gulf fixed Those who refuse to
contribute to his victory by so much as
a word of sympathy, are the only Re
publicaas who are honestly loyal to the
party"
This is sound enough, but it is not
current Republican doctrine, which
teaches that honesty is not the best
policy, by any means. In the case of
Virginia the Republican leaders adopt
the suggestive expression: "Repudia
ton is the best policy"

N. Estienne, in his annual crop reports
for the different countries of the world,
pats the wheat crop of France a little
below the average; in Great Britain ten
per cent. below the average, and likely
to realize only 1O.OOO.OO quarters. and
in Austria and Hungary above the aver
age, though later accounts report injury.
In Italy the crops are medium quality,
and much below the abundance of 1880.
The wheat crop in Russia is very good,
and the barley crop is double that of
1880 in quantity, although the grain is
not so plump and weighty. In Germany
the winter wheat is very good and the
spring wheat very poor. The Swiss
wheat crop is very poor in quantity,
owing to drought, but the quality is
good. NJ. Estienne says: CAN reports
from the United States agree that the
yield will be under the average"

The COlOred Voters Becoming Dis

Party.

The COlOred Voters Becoming Dis
satisfied with the Republican
Party.
The Globe is a weekly newspaper pub
lished in New York by colored men in
the interest of their race. A late num-
Der contains an article on ''the silent
but profound revolution that is taking
place in the political feelings and senti-
ments of the colored citizens of the cOun-
try" It declares that the colored voters
are becoming dissatisfied with their pres
ent political status, and they are dis
posed to disregard former political affili-
ations. In short, it says "the cOlored
man is not satisfied with his present
status in the Republican party. His
wishes are not much consulted. he gets
few offices, and he proposes 10 take
more independent position. The Globe
adds:
"The colored citizen is preparing him
self for other affiliations and for more
advantageous alliances. Out OF this
feeling was born the movement that last
week gave the cOup de grace to the Re
publican organization of Virginia, and
which threatens to disrupt and Overturn
existing organizations in other States
south of the Potomac"
The New York Eoening Post com
ments upon this article as one of import
ance to the Republican party. 1t says:
There is good reason to believe that
the Globe correctly represents the feel
ings of the colored voters, or at least of
a large number of them. 1t is,
however, a curious revelation, if 1t be
fact, that, for such reasons as the Globe
avows, the colored citizens of Virginia,
becoming tired of their old party, have
gone over to Malone, thus giving the
coup de grace to the Republican organi
cation of Virginia That the colored
voters followed Malone for the purpose
of furnishing the Republicans, may be
startling piece of news to those Republi-
cans in the North who looked upon the
Malone alliance as a good thing in the
interest of the party"

A Most Interesting Discovery in

Ia a gallery cut in the solid rock win
in a gorge about four miles from the
Nile, to the east of Thebes, a most valu-
able discovery has been made Of relics
dating back to the times Of the ancient
Theban dynasties. They consist Of four
large papyri, each in a state Of perfect
preservation and of incslculsble value
to EgYptologists; 800 mortuary stat
ues; the mummies of large number of
Theban Kings, each with an alabaster
canopic urn containing the heart and en-
trails Of the deceased; fifteen enormous
wigs nearly two feet high, composed Of
frizzled and curled hair belonging to
Egyptian princesses, and nearly 1000
other objects of interest. Among these
last lnay be mentioned an enormous
leather tent in a fine state of preservs-
ton. 1t Is covered with hierOglyphs,
embroidered in red. green aud yellow
leather, and bears the cartOuche OF King
Pinotem, of the twenty first dynasty.
The following are the more important
Theban sovereigns whose mummies have
been thus far identified: Aafmes l., OF
the eighteenth dynasty. who reigned
about 100 B. c.; Amenhotep l., the
second King of the eighteenth dynasty,
1866 B. c.; Thutmes l., third King Of
the same dynasty, about 1888 B. C.;
Thutmes Il, fourth King Of the same
dynssty, about 1900 B. c.; ThutmeI III.
the Great, fifth King of. the same dy-
nasty, about 1900 B. c.; Ramses l.,
first King of the nineteenth dy-
nasty, about 400 B. c.; Seti
the second; Rsmses, the Great, about
1888 B. c.; Pinotem. the third King of
the 21st dynasty, about 1893 B. C. There
are also munTmies of two Queens and Of
the daughter Of Ramses II. The last
mummy mentioned is conspicuous by
reason of its massive gold ornaments and
cartouches set in precious stones. To
the learned, however, the most, valuable
are the papyri, of which the largest
found in the coffin of Queen Ra-ma-ka-
is sixteen inches wide, and when unrolled
will measure over one hundred feet in
length. 1t is most beautifully illustra-
ted with colored Examinations. The
other papyri are narrower, but more
closely written upon.
These relics when found were in great
confusion, as If hurriedly placed where
they were found. There is every indi-
cation that they were removed from their
previous resting places in various tombs
and temples by the Egyptian priests and
placed in this subterranean chamber,
with the view of concealing them from
some foreign invader-most probably
Cambyses, the Persian.

The President.

How fares 1t with the President? Is
he living, dying or dead? Cut off from
the outside world, we can give no answer,
save to express the belief that his vitali-
ty, though well nigh drained, will be
likely to sustain him till word can reach
us of his fate. None of his people will
hear the worst with deeper sorrow, or
hail with greater Joy the miracle of his
preservation, than we who ask of him
and cannot hear.

Capt HOwgate is a very bad man, il
half that is now said about him be true
and he ought to be punished for all his
misdeeds, when proven. But, remarks
the Washington STIR, even more
than in his punishment is the country in
terested in knowing how he could get
away with such vast sums Of public
money as he is charged with and the
alleged thefts and fOTgeries not be dis
covered until now. If the admirable
system Of checks and balances" we hear
so much about in connection with the
government funds and accounts is of no
more avail than this case shows it to be,
it is about time for that branch of the
service to be Overhauled and improved
A system which permits or fails to dis
cover such irregularities is about as
much to be condemned as the person
who takes advantage Of 1t.

The constitution of Minnesota is sad
died with an amendment which requires
any provision for the payment of the re-
pudiated bonds to be first submitted to a
vote of the>peOple, and it is very certain
that as long as this amendment is held to
be valid, the people of that staunch Re
publican State will let the bOndholders
whistle for their money. The response
bility for this amendment, as the st.
Paul Pioneer Press regretfully admits,
rests with the Republican party, "for it
was proposed by Republican Legisla-
ture and approved by Republican Gov
ernor."

The Tempest Of SATURDAY Night.

The tempest Of Saturday night is con
ccded, by the oldest residents, TO have
been unprecedented in this section in fury
and destruction. The storm found the
Forest City in the pride Of her beauty
and left her shorn Of many Of her charms
and Uttered with the wreck it had
wrought. As the gale, which had steadl-
IL increased throughout the afternoon,
swelled in violence the signs Of the COM
ing ruin multiplied. Night fell, and the
shades deepened until a darkness all but
stygian enwrapped the city
The tempest would lull for a moment,
and, as if gathering its energies for
supreme effort. would burst with roar
that appeared to be echoed and re-echOed
in successive strokes. Now shutters.
states. signs and myriad of other wrecks
would crash upon the pavement with
the regularity and continuity of volleys
Of musketry. Again stately trees would
tOpple and thunder to the ground with
shocks like parks Of artillery. Tin roofs
were lifted bodily and whirled for
blocks with a CHATTER and din that bore
no semblance to wonted sounds. At
length. when the gale reached its height,
sounds lost distinction in the continuous
beats of the tempest While lurid light
ming might have added TO the sublinitY
Of the hurricane, it would have relieved
It Of its sombre terrors- Meanwhile in
doors the rain poured in through count
less orifces, and many houses were
sluiced from garnet to cellar.
When the storm had spent itself the
few that attempted TO note the ruin
II had wrought were blocked 81
almost every step By the de
bris that Uttered the streets, snd
gladly gave up the task Morning came,
and gradually as the day wore on the
extent Of the destruction began to be
learned and summed up.
Meanwhile the deepest anxiety was
felt for those at Tybee and elsewhere,
and late in the afternoon, when the
tidings Of horror and disaster reached
the city, the extent of the perils encoun
tered on the island began to be appre-
ciated
Owing to the havoc on the lines of
travel, and the total failure Of the tele-
graph. little or nothing has been learned
Of the course Of the storm or the damage
elsewhere. Even at this hour it is diff
cult to give a full estimate of the loss in
the city and vicinity, extended particulars
of which will be found in our local col
umns From the fury of the tempest at
Tybee, its violence and destruction,
wherever it struck the coast, must have
been terrific, and it is feared that many
a stout bark and gallant crew with their
precious consignment of human life have
met their doom.

closed yesterday evening was q
grand success. The Hall was
crowded on both days and evenings
The articles on exhibition were
artistically arranged on a large

hall, which gave the whole scene
an animated appearance.
Six hundred and thirty-four prize
tickets were disposed Of, and each
ticket holder was awarded a prize
some Of which were very beautiful.
among the luckiest ticket holders
we find Bernard Adam, who drew
the sewing machine; Chas. Leon.
