About the State Camnaigu.

The gubernatorial chair seems
possessed of more charms at this
particular Time than ever before.
The number or gentlemen that are
said to be aspirants for this office
are uuprecedentedly large. AL
most every newspaper in the State
has its favorite, and already many
Richmonds are in the field getting
ready to contest for the honors of
the office. We had hoped that
this question would not hcve been
sprung upon the people SO early,
but we are destined to be disap-
pointed. While the newspapers
may discuss this and other kin
dred questions, we hope the peo-
pie, in whom the question of soy
and government reside,
will not allow themselves to be-
come unduly excited; but when
the proper time arrives let them
meet together in county mass
and act with great delib-
Grafton and caution. Our people
cannot afford to be thrown into
such personal and heated
controversy as that which charac-
terized the canvass between Col
quit and Norwood. Let that ever
memorable campaign in the histo-
ry Of Georgia be lesson to the
people of our State. 1t has left
such marks upon the people of
Georgia rs will take years to OBJ
literate. There are MANY men in
Georgia who would fill the Office
of Governor with credit and dis
tinction to the State. There is.
scarcely a county in the State but
what could furnish a snitable can
didate, but all cannot be elect
ed.

WERE it left to the newspapers
to nominate candidate for Gov

receive almost u unanimous vote.
The uoanimity with which he is
being put forward right now is

will be their choice by large

The secretary Of the Treasury and
the New Tariff Blii.
WASHINGTON. Feb 24.-The secre-
tary Of the treasury has written to
Representative Morrison, chairman Of
the ways and means committee, In re-
gard 20 the probable eject the passage
Of the Morrison tariff bill will have
on public revenues. In the latter he
SAYS: 1.-THE net reduction, computed on
the basis Of last years importations,
would be about t12,000,000." In re-
gard to the provisions limiting the
maximum of duties to certain ad valO-
rem rates, 1t says: 1T leaves room for
controversy Of values, but that the
values could be approximately ascer-
tanned by the customs officers" He
suggests, however, that provisions be
made by which the valuation Of such
officers should be made final and not
leave this important question to be
hereafter subjected to the uncertainty
of u trial In a court, with the conse-
quent result to the people Of refunding
duty. These remarks, he says, apply
to those clauses Of the bill which fix
the rate of duty according to the value
of the article. He calls attention to the
necessity Of making more clear in some
cases the exact articles to which
the provisions apply-a troublesome
defect in the present tariff law. He
expresses the opinion that the provis-
ions in tariff acts fixing the rate of
duty according to the component ma
terial of chief value leads to litigation,
besause Of the uncertainty of the mean
ing Of that term When applied to a
mass of manufactured articles, There
are a number of such pending bills
which will involve this question, and
in them the secretary fears that the
government will be defeated. The
term earthen ware, he says, is also
open to misconstruction. In a recent
case it has been held to mean only
hollow ware, or ware made On the
potter's wheel, and if this construction
should prevail, glazed tile for illustra-
ton becomes a now enumerated man
ufactured article, subject to 20 per
cent ad valorem duty. Attention is
also called to the uncertainty of the
term "broken or granulated rice" and
a suggestion made of a maximum size
be stated, so as to avoid controversy.
