last sensation published is that Mr.. Diss-

should not object if he had, as we want
all the capitalists possible interested in
our State. But Mr.. Disston has made no
such sale, and has never offered one or
more million acres at any such price.

Elections win be held to-day in twelve
States, including Maryland, Virginia and
Pennsylvania. Maryland elects State
Comptroller, one-half Of its State Senate,
members of the House of Delegates and
County Commissioners. Virginia elects
State officers, one-half of its State Senate
and members of the House of Delegates.
Connecticut elects half It's State Senate.
New York votes for Secretary Of State
and Treasurer, Judge of the Court Of APP
peals, &c, and elects Legislature; in
the fifth, eleventh, twenty-second and
twenty seventh districts congressman
will also be chosen to fill vacancies. New
Jersey elects its House of Representa-
tives and part of the Senate. Pennsyl-
vania elects State Treasurer and county
officers. In Wisconsin State officers will
be chosen, with members of the lower
house of the Legislature and part of
the Senators. Minnesota votes for State
officers and a full Legislature, with two
Judges Colorado elects Judges and
county officers. Nebraska elects Judge
of the Supreme Court and agents of the
University, and Mississippi elects full
Legislature, with State officers. Wiscon-
sin also votes on a constitutional amend
ment providing for biennial elections.
Nebraska is to determine whether it will
have woman suffrage, and Minnesota will
act on constitutional provisions respect
ing taxation, prohibiting special legisla-
ton and fixing the pay of Legislators.
Colorado is also to determine the location
of its capital by popular vote.
The result in Virginia Is looked for
with unusual interest. The Readjusters,
led by Malone, are backed by all the
power and patronage of the administra-
ton. Last year, the regular Democratic
ticket polled se.44s votes; the Readjus-
ters sl,527, and the Republicans pOlled
$4,000 votes. The results to-day will
depend upon the completeness of the
Republican and Readjuster fusion, and
the extent to which Malone will be able
to control his Democratic followers.
Both sides appear to be confident, and the
issue may be regarded Is doubtful.

Death OF Hon. J. c. walker.

We are panied to hear of the death of
this gentleman, which took place at his
residence in Gadsden county on Saturday
evening last. He was the son of the late
George X. Walker, and nephew of Judge
ID. S. Walker, ST., of this city. The dis
ease of which he died was contracted
while experimenting the fulfilment of a
contract for building the Pensacola and
Atlantic r abroad, in which enterprise he
took a warm interest. AS q citizen Mr..
Walker was held in the highest esteem.
In 1873 he was nominated as the Demo
cratic candidate for the State Senate from
Gadsden county, and was elected in a
district which then for the first time since
1868 failed to choose Republican Sena-
tor. He proved himself an enlightened
legislator and won distinction by his I'M
selfish devotion to the interests of the
State. Mr.. Walker was noted for his
integrity of character, his afability of
manner, his moral walk, and the sincerity
of his frien dship. These elements secured
for him the love and respect of his asso-
ciates and neighbors, who will join their
regrets at his unexpected death with
the griefs and sorrows of his relatives
and the CO immunity generally.
The re mains of the deceased were
brought to this city yesterday evening,
and were buried this morning at | ! O'Clock
from the Episcopal Church.

The Atlanta ObnAitHtion thus describes the
making Of two suits Of clothes from the seed COT
ton, one for the Governor Of Georgia and one for
the Governor Of Connecticut. Bright and early a
number Of people went out 10 the grounds to see
the process little AFTER sunrise few individuals
on hand for the occasion, stepped into one of the
patches on the grounds and almost in . twink
ling the cotton was picked and ginned. Attwen-
~ minutes N 2 II started on It's way, entering
first the Kitson picker, al O'Clock II went to
the Foss s. Pevy cards, thence to the railway
built by the Lowell Machine company. Then
Il rapidly found its way 10 the speeder built by
the City Machine company of Provid, nee. From
there II went to the Fails q jerks frame, and
was soon what the observer was ready To pro-
nounce thread. This was taken to Crompton
loom and the process Of weaving commenced.
The crowd that had watched the course Of the
cotton as 1t passed from stage to stage grew nm
I'll the aisles were blocked up. Everybody want
ed to see the work going on. As soon as the
cloth emerged from the loom It was taken TO the
dye house of N. Spencer Thomas and dyed As
soon as 1t was dried it was taken to the Wheeler
& Wilson exhibit, where the suits were cut out
lone for Governor Colquitt and one for Govern
or Bigelow. The silk which had been furnished
by Cheney Brothers, and which was Of Ameri-
can manufacture, was ready. The making OF
the suits was commenced The cutting was
done by Atlantas favorite tailor, Mr.. Crosse,
whose taste and ability guaranteed perfection in
his department of the work. The button holes
were made at the rate of two minute by H. L.
Phelps, of New York, on the National machine
company's button-hole machine. As the day
closed the suits came completed from the hands
OF the tailors, and In the evening the governors
wore handsome black suits, made from cotton
that at sunrise dangled, dew-gemmed, from the
stalks. So much for fast machinery.

All the Public Debt not at once
PAYABLE.


The Baltimore San says that in view of
the efforts now being made by friends of
the national banks and the present tariff
to stop the payment of the public debt,
now aggregating 1888, lO2 ,25O, it is of
interest to consider what part of it is now
open to settlement and how much of it is
of deferred payment by the terms of the
bonds. Our large surplus revenue makes
this practical question of considerable
Importance. The government indebted
ness consists of eight classes of bonds:
/. Loan Of Julk and August, 1851, per cent,
Loan q isds, Sconfinusd a. above. SossaoSC
3. - Funded loan Of 1881 - per cent, "con-
Funded lon 1V tNo 5, NOT .connusd" 1880
s. Funded loan Of 1882, = ~ per cent 25OOOOOO0
Z Refandng certificates per cent 49,. 0a6,05O
g. Navy pension fund.- per cent. 14OOo,OOO
Total. ! ...... ........... Si.s0s, lO2,2 80
Omitting the seventh and eighth items
enumerated above, all, it will be seen, are
now payable except the fifth and sixth.
In other words, $3.50, 754, 45o of the debt
are now Tedeemable, while 1885, 7IO, $50
are not now redeemablc at the option of
the government. In 1891, $3.50, 900 900
of the latter sum will become redeemable,
but the remaining 37Ss, TIC, $50 cannot be
paid of until 1907, unless the government
goes into the market as o purchaser of
bonds bearing high premium. As the
treasury ID now accommodating surplus cash
at the rate Of sI67, 600, 900 per an1um, it
will be possible to redeem the first, sec
ond, third and fourth classes Of bonds,
aggregatihg $3.50, 754 $50, In about three
years-f we take into account the reduC-
tons Of interest consequent on the sue
cessive payments. After November i !,
1884, about seven years would elapse dur
ing which none Of the debt could be paid,
unless by purchase Of bonds in the open
market. After the seven years were past
and the k25O, 200, 900 due in 1891 were
paid, which could be done ii once BY the
aCcumulatiOns Of 30 long N interval
there would follow sixteen years before
the item Eof 17ss, 7I0, $50 would become
payable. An interesting question arises !:

Prince Georgian, md July 20, 1881.
Mother Shipton announced the
destruction of the world for 1881,
but forgot to aflix the right date.
An Italian writer, however, Leonard
Auretiora, who died in the four
teenth century, was more accurate.
In the fifth volume Of his work Gag
Mia Volante," he clearly prophesies
that the void will come to an end
on the 18th Of November, 1881. On
the first day the ocean will overstep
her boundaries; on the second day it
will penetrate into the interior of
the earth; on the third day all river
fish will succumb; on the fourth day
the denizens of the deep; on the fifth
day the birds will perish; OH the sixty
day our houses will collapse; on the
seventh the rocks; on the eighth
earthquakes will continue the
work of destruction; on the ninth
mountains will fall; on the tenth
mankind will lose the power of
speech; on the eleventh the graves
will open; on the twelfth it will rain
stars; on the thirteenth all men will
die; on the fourteenth heaven and
earth will be consumed by fire, and
on the fifteenth we may expect the
resurrection and the last judgement.
