Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1884-06-07
A Rising Georgian,

represents the entire ocean shore
of Georgia, population about equal
| ly divided between white and
black, is man in the prime of life
just 50. He served in the Con-
federate army throughout the war,
and, being a lawyer and also a
planter, possesses in his own ex-
perience a sufficient variety of sym
pathy with his fellow men of all
the classes to prevent him from
taking extreme position on any
topic. There are so many extrem-
lists and impracticables in the pres
ent Congress that the spectacle of a
man of sound and conservative con-
victions standing squarely by right
legislation and refusing to be coax
ed or driven to act in conflict with
his own judgement is cooling and
comforting.
Mr.. Nichols, feeling that the
Morrison horizontal bill was un-
wise, paired against its considera-
ton, and has thereby subjected
himself to such torrent of incon-
siderate and unjust abuse from the
free trade papers in Georgia as no
other member of the minority of
the Democratic Representatives
has been called to endure-except
Mr.. Randall. When we remember
the pressure that was excrted to
compel acquiescence in the free
traders programme, a pressure
more fierce than Congress has wit
messed before in many years, SO
strong that it swept from their
moorings such strong men as Col.
Hewett and Gen. Shelby, of Georg-
ia, and many others whose convic-
tons were not reached at all by the
argument, we can only think that
the men who did withstand in that
time Of trial are more heroic than
the dead heroes whose fame we
celebrate with vernal flowers.
Mr.. Nichols stands up like a
rock against the abuse hurled at
him. Instead of fiinching before
it he shows, by a few short sentenc-
es, that he knows exactly what he
has done and why he has done it.
Replying to the arraignment of the
Savannah News, he says: "It GER
tainly was not good policy to dis
turb the harmony of the party, and
to alarm the business centres of
the country on the eve of a Presi-
dental election, especially as Re-
publican Executive and Senate
stood ready to strangle any reform
we might inaugurate. The matter
should have been RENTED to its
proper forum, the National Demo-
cratic Convention. We should first
acquire the power, and then deal
with this purely business question
in business manner, making such
reductions as accord with the great
interests involved, and retaining
the duty intact OH industries abso-
lutely requiring protection"
That is sound Democracy, and
consequently it is sound common
sense. 1t is in complete concord
with the real sentiment of Georgia,
the judgement of those of her sons
who know her interests and are in
terested with them. Shriekers for
Reform may ride into place on an
impulse of popular favor, but they
prove when power is given into
their hands, themselves untitled
for any practical achievement.
Real reform can never be effected
save by those who know how deep
ly the great industries of the nation
are concerned, and who feel their
responsibilities and perform their
duties in the light of that knowl-

LaclkayEanna still The Feature or Trad1ng-A Twist Given To The Shorts-Hncreased Buying Toward The Close Sends Prices UP Gener- ally.
 NEW YoRK, Dec. 1s. The dealings on the market this morning were moderately active, and the course of prices very irregular The dealings however, were more in terestng than for several days past and the uctua tions wider. For the first time since the inaugura tion of the bear crusade against Lackawanna the larger holders this morning resored to the twisting process and for while caused considerable tion among the shorts. They quietly bought in the supply of loaning stock and the demand for it by the bears in the clique in it bid up the loaning rate This movement caused a stampede among the shorts and during the movement the list stead ly advanced after the ten minutes to 1130 At that hour the advance ranged from 1s to 2s5. Subse- this selling the decline ranged from A to 2per the latter in L.ackawanna Toward o'clock seve- ral despatches were received from Philadelphia an- nouncing that harmony prevailed at the conference of the representatives of the road forming the coal pool. This caused renewed buying and under the leadership of Lackawanna prices steadily advanced coal roads had adopted allotment plan for 1885. This accelerated the buying in the last hour and at most of the active list. Lackawanna was the fea- ture of the market to-day and recorded some wide fluctuations. The stock closed 24 per cent. higher than throughout the day The sales to-day aggre- gated 376, 300 shares.

WEST HAVEN.
A Handsome Improvement on the
 Shore Of Long Island sound.

A HandgOme Improvement on the
 Shore Of Long Island Sound.
 The sea wall and pier which MT. John 0. Anderson, of this city, has had built in front of the new and handsome shore residence which he is having erected on Beach street, West Haven shore, are completed and are by far the finest piece of work of the kind in this part of the country. The pier is three hundred and fifty feet in length, built of heavy spiles and planking, and is fine dock, thoroughly built and equipped. The sea wall has frontage of one hundred and twen- ty-two feet and is built entirely of large blocks of East Haven sandstone weighing from one ton to two and quarter tons. The base is eight feet in thickness and the slope is one and quarter inches to the foot, the top having coping four feet wide. The face is protected by strong sheet spiling or break water The sea wall is ten feet high and rests upon solid foundation of spiles, cut of considerably below the surface of the beach. One hundred and seventy-seven spiles were required for the work. Civil Engineer E. A. Futile of West Haven, for merly engaged with the Hartford and Har- lem railroad engineering service, executed the contract for the entire work. The stone were laid by Mir. Redfeld, the bridge builder for the Consolidated road. The cost of the work was between $8, GOO and $10, 900 and it is a fine improvement on West Haven shore. Mir. Anderson's shore residence is fast ap- preaching completion and will be furnished with all the iaternal improvements in time for occupancy next season.

Court Notes.

The case of the State vs James J. McGrath, the young man who was agent for George A. Basser- man, beer brewer, for the embezzlement of $6 from the latter on the 1st of last September, de- murred to by his counsel. Probable cause for the complaint was found and the case went over to the January term of the Superior court. Bond $200. This was the nominal disposition of the matter. It is probable that the will be settled out of court in the meantime.
 Miss Ella c. Dick, daughter of W. J. Dick, the well known hotel man of Newtown, has been given a verdict for $5O7 by New York jury in her suit against William W. Chipman, a mining broker of New York. The action was to recover for a horse which was owned by Miss Dick and let to Mir. Chip man. While in charge of MT. Chipman accident occurred by which the horse was ruined by having his leg broken. MT. Chipman put in a counter claim for g., 900 on the ground that the horse was tricky and mperiled his life, but the jury ignored this claim and decided in the lady's favor.
 The celebrated Warren Hotchkiss Shooting case came up again after repeated cOntinuances, in the City court yesterday morning, and was disposed of by n0lle. The complaint in this charges Mir. Hotchkiss with an assault with intent to kill Mich ael Doherty with pistol on the night of the 3d of November. It was election trouble, the men be- coming involved in political dispute in which Do herty assaulted Hotchkiss. The latter excitedly drew pistol, and it subsequently discharged, the ball taking effect in Doherty's leg, nfcting wound which is likely to be troublesome for some time. The fracas occurred on Church street.

The fatal rapidity with which slight Colds and Coughs frequently develop into the gravest maladies of the throat and lungs, is consideration which should impel every prudent person to keep at hand, as household remedy, a bottle of AYERS CHERRYGPECTORAL.
 Nothing else gives such immediate relief and works so sure cure in all affections of this class. That eminent physician, Prof. F. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical School, Brunswick, Me, says :-
 '1Medical science has produced no other ano- dyne expectorant good as AYERS CHERRY PRcToRAL. It is invaluable for diseases of the throat and lungs"
 The same opinion is expressed by the wellAnown Dr. L.J. Addison, of Chicago, ul., who says:-
 sI have never found, in thirty five years of continuous study and practice of medicine, any preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL, for treatment of diseases of the throat and lnngs. It not only breaks up colds and cures severe coughs, but is more effective than anything else in relieving even the most serious bronchial and pulmonary affections.n
