| SEARCHING FOR HIS DAUGHTER.-At-
lantas detective talent is now assiduously
engaged in attempting to unravel the mys'
terous disappearance of young lady from
Chester, South Carolina.
The young lady is known in the village
of Chester as Miss Carrie Timme. She is
the daughter of Mr.. w. o. Timme, and il
was through the presence Of her father in
Atlanta that the search for her became pub.
lie. The younglady is about II years of age
She is quite deaf, but is described as being
real pretty and we'll educated. She has blue,
dancing eyes, very fair complexion, dark
hair, and is quite stout. The real facts in
regard to her absence from home are not
known, as her father is quite reticent con-
cerning the matter. Mr.. Timme reached
| Atlanta last Sunday and alone began search
ing for his child. He dreaded any publici-
| ity about the matter, and it was not until
his schemes all failed him that he invoked
the aid of the police department.. Yester-
day he made call upon Chief Connolly,
and, giving him an accurate description OF
his daughter, asked for assistance in recov-
ering her. The Chief listened to Mr.. Tim
mes recital and then detailed Captains Bag
by and Grim and Patrolman Simpson to in
vestigate the case. TO the Chief the South
Carolinian stated that his daughter had been
going to school in a town near Chester and
that she left the school about four weeks ago,
with the avowed intention of returning to
her home. Mr.. Timme exhibited to Chief
Connolly several letters written byan Attain
ia family to his daughter, in which they
asked her to come to Atlanta. These letters
had fallen into the fathers possession, and,
together with a letter or two directed to him
self from his daughter, post-marked Attain
ia, induced him to believe that his daughter
came direct to Atlanta. He has reason to be-
lieve thatshe has been assuming the name OF
Jessie Melton since her arrival in Atlanta,
but why she should desire to change her
name the father does not know, unless it is
for the purpose of destroying all trace Of her.
Mr.. Timme also stated that he had been IN
the city several days searching quietly for
his daughter, but that so far he had met
with little success. He said, however, that
he had ascertained that certain person in
the city knew the whereabouts of his daugh-
ter and that he faced him with heinforma-
tion and demanded her return to him. The
young man promised that he would lead the
father to the child, but so far has failed to
keep his promise. Mr.. Timme is satisfied
that his daughter intended no wrong in
leaving her home, and that she had COM
mitted no wrong. He is exceedingly anX-
ous to recover her, and will leave no stone
unturned to accomplish that desire. lie is
a modest, intelligent well appearing gentle
man, and in his laudable wishes the oflcers
who have been detailed and Chief Connolly
will give him every possible ald.-AHd'Hd

THE OUTLOOK IN 1SS4.-The recent elec-
tions have cleared the sky sufficiently to
warrant few observations for 1854. They
can rest only on probabilities at the best.
Moreover, it is peculiarly in the power OF
the Democrats to fulfill Republican predic-
tions by actingso foolishly in the States they
control and in the coming session OF Con-
gress as to throw away their chances for car
rying the Federal election next year.
The whole number Of electoral votes Is
4Ol, of which a majority is 2Ol. The crush
ing defeat of Malone in Virginia raises a
strong presumption that all the Southern
States will 60 Democratic next year. The
unWillingness of a considerable body OF the
colored voters to any longer follow the lead
of Republicans who have so often deceived
them has tendency to confirm this opinion.
The aggregate electoral votes OF the SIN
teen Southern States is 153. This is 4S short
of the needed POI. Where in the North can
the Is votes be found? -,
We will name only those States when,
with good candidate for President, and no
laundering in Congress or elsewhere, VIII De
reasonably certain to cast their votes for the
Democratic nominee
New York 36, New Jersey 8, Ohio %, In
diana 15, Nevada 3, California s, Oregon 3;
total ".
Such are the probabilities of the coming
contest for the presidency. If, however, the
Democrats hope to win the battle in NoVem-
Der, 1884, they must meanwhile so conduct
themselves as to deserve success.-NeW York
