Is dearer than the close and tender clasping

Half hoped for, quickens in the trembling

Sylvester and purer throbs than all the later
And fuller passion openly expressed.

Nor seek to set our all too eager footsteps
In the worn paths Of dull reality.

He was replied to by Hon. Reuben
Arnold, who asked FELTON, if he would
support Bacon if he was nominated,
and FELTON, replied 81 will" He
was then asked if he would support
Gordon if he was nominated, and he
answered 81 will not. This shows
that DR.. FELTON, is using Mr.. Bacon
and his newspapers to advance his
own candidacy, for Gordon is certain
to be nominated. No man should

A DIVE TO DEATH.

A special from Aspen, Col, says
Last evening party of young ladies
climbed to the top of the bell tower,
sixty feet high, to obtain a good view
OF the city. Eta Stewart stepped
to the edge Of the tower and was
leaning against a corner post, looking
over the country, when the janitor,
not knowing of the presence of the
ladies, seized the bell rope to call a
meeting Of a fire company. The sud
den clang of the bell startled Miss
Stewart and she plunged from the
dizzy height to the pavement. She
was carried into a neighboring house,
when it was discovered that both
legs were 50 badly crushed that the
feet had been driven to within a few
inches of the knees; that the bones
OF her lett arm were broken into splin-
tiers, and that five ribs on the right
side were broken. She was alive
when picked up, but there is no hope
Of her recovery.

ISLANDER DOESN'T PAY IN GEORGIA

We commend to those who think,
in spite OF bitter and repeated expe-
ricnce, that SANDER will pay in Geor-
gia politics the following ringing res
olutions adopted by the staunch de
mocracy Of the mountains in White
county on yesterday:
Resolved, That we have witnessed
with strongest Indignation the course
OF the opponent of Gen. John b.
Gordon, in the wholesale issue and
circulation of malicious and SANDER
Gus charges in reference to him.
Second, That our confidence in
him is mistaken, and that his purity
OF character as a private citizen, and
his brilliant record as gallant sol
der, and his ability as a statesman,
challenge cur highest admiration.
Third, That our delegates to the
nominating convention, to be held in
Atlanta July y, be instructed to vote
for John i. Gordon first, last and all
the time.
These resolutions will strike home
to ten thousand Georgia hearts to-
day. SANDER is about the poorest
crop you can plant ON the good old
red hills Of Georgia. Atlomta ConSti-
tuition.

not think it the part of wisdom to en-
ter the race for delegates at this add

already candidates He, therefore,

OUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN

Ems. JouRNAL.-I have recently received
from Hon. j. c. Clements and distributed
several copies OF his speech on the Silver
question delivered in the House of Repre-
sentatlves IN Congress, on the 9th of Feb.
last. In our humble opinion, this speech
does Mr. Clements great credit 1t is con
else, clear and strictly logical, exhibiting
great depth OF thought and clear compre-
tension OF the financial status both of this
and foreign countries In short, it is the
ablest thing we think, that has emanated
from the halls OF Congress on that subject
and it also shows very clearly that Mr..
Clements is laboring there, not in the inter
est of capitalists and corporations but for
the people, the toiling tax-paying masses
that support the government He has la
boFed faithfully, wisely and with uptiring
energy IN the interest OF his constitu.
ency and of the people at large. He is a
tried and true man and think it would be
unwise in the people of the It'll district TO
drop him now and put in new man, for
his experience IN Congress will enable him
to serve us even more efilciantly in the flu
ture than he has in the past No new and
inexperienced man-no matter what his
ability might be could serve us as efficient
" in our next Congress as Mr.. Clements
can and will do if returned there So,
speaking tor myself, | will say want to see
the mountain colt returned to Congress
by large majority and the grand old war
horse, General John b. Gordon placed at
the head OF the executive department of our
State He, too, is tried and true man
No state, we think, has an ADLER or more
faithful and honest Executive, than Georgia
wonld have ia the person of her beloved and
honored Gordon Very Respectfully

We are in position, however, to

election none of the proprietors of
the Telegraph will be put upon the
Railroad Commission in Colonel

will be justified in time, as Major
Bacon will be elected and the APP

coed Colonel Trammell will be made.
In the meantime, will General Cor
don or some Of his organs inform us
if he would in case of election reap
point Colonel Trammell We have
answered the Journal, and submit
that it is but fair to give our answer
Il place ~ its columns as prominent
as the charge to which we have re
piled. We also ask the Journal to
inform the people what General Cor

nell when his time is up.-4Hacon
Telegraph.
We are glad to see that the Tele-
graph has the frankness to acknowl-
edge that Gen. Gordon will be in a
position to appoint Col. Trammelrs
successor. AS to who General Cor
don will appoint we do not know,
but it may be safely conceded that
he will not appoint the partizans of
the Macon Telegraph. But the way
DR.. FELTON, is taking the field for Ba-
con it would look as if Mr., Bacon, if
elected, intended TO reward DIR. Eel
ton for his services by appointing
him in the place Of Mr.. Trammell.
But the people will smash that ring
arrangement, if one has been made.
