that purpose. l know that many OF his
friends, like the writer, would be glad to
contribute something, however little, 70
such a cause. By way of suggestion, would
1t not be appropriate for the members OF
the Georgia press to open subscription
list for that purposes 1t is true 'he needs no
princely tomb or monumental pile to per
petuate his memo1y;'' his genius has carved
for him an Immortality, but such tribute
to the hOnored dead would be sweet con-
ISOLATION to his sorrowing widow and chill
dren, who cling so tenderlY to his memory
and would indeed be a monument to per-
| petuate the appreciation OF Georgia for
noble and faithful son. Let 1t not De said
OF our people and our time that Ihe
patriot, the poet and the sage live only for
| posteritv.n ECRIvAIN.
Concerning the above the Constitution thus
remarks editorially: ELSEWHERE we print a
communication from Savannah correspon-
| dent suggesting that movement be organ
| lied for the purpose OF erecting monu-
ment to the memory CT Colonel W. L.
| Thompson, the author OF Major Jones'
| Courtship.' The nucleus OF such move
ment exists in the contribution Of one hun
bred dollars made last May by the Georgia
Press Association, and the Constitution would
| be glad to lend its columns and whatever
| influence it may have to the furtherauce Of
| project so well calculated to honor the
people of Georgia So far as Colonel
| Thompson is concerned, he has builded
him a monument more enduring than any
| that can be raised by those who survive
| him, but such memorial as that which our
correspondent suggests, would be fitting
testimonial to the appreciation of the peo-
pie of Georgia 'Major Jones' sCourtship'
must remain unique in the literature
Of America. 1t is pastoral In which hu-
NOR and pathos unite to lift the veil that
hides the beauty and tenderness of rural
| life in Georgia. 1t is not burlesque, but a
| literary revelation. We trust that a move
ment so entirely creditable to Georgia may
assume substantial shape"

Voters in California will certainly have
abundant material from which to choose
their candidates this year, as five nomi-
mating conventions have finished and
presented tickets. The Republicans,
Democrats, GIeenbackers and ProhibI-
tionists have each made nominations for
State offices, and the Changers, who have
Just contributed their quota to the gene
raj stock of candidates, have made afew
nominations and have Endorsed some of
those already in the field. Changers
being especially hostile to the railway cor
porations, the selections of the California
Changers for the Office of Railroad
Commissioner are Of interest. They
have Endorsed one of the Republican
nominees, Charles F. Reed, and one of
the Democratic candidates, W. w. Foote.
The third commissioner, according to the
Changers, should be John T. Doyle, one
of the present commission, who has dis
tinguished himself since his time for
action has passed by telling the public
what the commissioners ought to do
hereafter. The New York Times thinks
that if the Changers are as readily i'm
posed upon as their nomination of Doyle
would seem to indicate, their indorse-
ment of the other candidates will not
have much influence with voters.

The result Of the election held in OHIO
last Tuesday was Waterloo defeat of
the cohorts of Radicslism, such as the
most ardent and sanguine Democrat in
the country never dreamed of. While
defecti0ns from the Radical ranks were
conceded, it was never, for moment,
believed that the victory of the
Democracy would amount to more than
the gain of one or two Congressman.
According to reports so far received,
however, the Democrats have carried the
State by %, 900 majority and sixteen out
of the twenty-one Congressional districts,
while of the five remaining districts
two or more are still in doubt.
This is indeed an overwhelming victory.
and it was gained, too. Notwithstanding
that the last Legislature of the State
gerrymandered it in the interests of the
Republican party. Moreover, the cleo
ton of Fyllett in Cincinnati and
Hurd in Toledo, both avowed revenue
reformers, are exceedingly significant
facts.
This result is not what the Republicans
of the country looked for, and it cannot
but damage their cause elsewhere. Had
an old-fashioned Republican triumph
been achieved to match the victory of
Blaine in Maine, the Republicans would
have gathered new strength and courage,
aud fought for victory as they cannot
fight now.
On the other hand the Democracy will
be nerved to greater exertions, and with
the chances so decidedly in their favor
will have every warrant for anticipating
decisive victory in November. The
Congressional gains made in Ohio will
materially upset Republican calcula-
tiOns, and from the present outlook it is
almost certain that the disposition of the
revenues of the people and the conduct OF
their interests will be confded to the
hands of Democratic House for the two
years following March 4th next. The
skies we're bright for the Democracy be
fore, but this Unexpectedly decisive Demo
cratic victory in Ohio comes as a bow Of
promise, the significance of which can
not be overestimated.

In its issue of yesterday. the Atlanta
Constitution says that one of the editors
of that paper has received a telegram
stating that the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company had been sold to a
Northern company, thepurchasers being,
it is thought, the Standard Oil Company.
The report lacks confirmation, as neither
Major Temple, Chief Engineer, nor Ma
jor Johnston, Vice President Of the GeOr-
gia Pacific Railroad-which is being
built by the Richmond aud Danville-
had heard anything of the rumored sale.
There is no doubt, however, that, even
should the report be confirmed, the GeOr
gia Pacific and other works of the Rich
mond and Danville will be pushed for
ward to completion.

Mr.. Henry Bergh has written letter
to friend in Georgia protesting against
fox-hunting. He says: "Gild this sport
all over with the glitter of fashion. stud
it over with diamonds and rubies and all
the precious gems associated with an in
dolent and effeminate aristocracy, and
beneath it the cold -blooded and revolving
cruelty still remains, as hideous to the
sight of a truly refined nature as crime
can be" Bergh should tackle the King
of Ashantee, who mixes mortar with the
blood of maidens. There isn't enough
of cruelty to the square inch in this
country to tax his philanthropy.

And now they are getting up reports
to the effect that Mr.. Arthur is in very
bad health. A Washington special states
that among his friends it has been an
open secret for several months that his
health has been the reverse of vigorous,
and that there was a possibility of col
lapse in spite of the best efforts which
might be made to tone his system. 1t is
said that when lie returned to Washing
ton after his vacation, his physicians
were more than ever alarmed, and that
they promptly advised him to give up
work, and if possible remain away from
the White House until mere favorable
symptoms had begun to manifest them
selves. This is decidedly bit of news
His Excellency has heretofore been
reported as being in the very best condi-
ton, and he himself said that he never
saw the fishing better, or enjoyed him
self more in his life than during his late
vacation. No doubt this whole story is
gotten up to excite sympathy and help
Folger along. Certainly if the President
is IN bad health his intimate friends and
allies, Barney Biglin and Mike Cregln,
ought to know it, and they have never
even limited at anything of the sort.

Admiral Ammen has written q letter
on De Lesseps' proposed Underwater
canal at Panama, in which he attacks
the project vigorously. His arguments
when summed up are that such canal
is not commercially practicable, but that
a lock canal is; that if the canal is con
structed it would probably have a def.
Gent water supply for two months pei
year; that no sailing vessels would at
tempt the transit, and that the canal
would have to come into competition
with one constructed via Lake Nicaragua
at less than one.third the cost, and with
a superintendent water supply at all
times.

Their zeal in this respect is only equaled
