Georgia Politics.

Darien will hold no more political con-
Ventions this summer.
Lewis Davis is a Senatorial candidate
in the Thirty-frst district.
Hon. John Sims is announced as a can
didate for reelection to the General AS
sembly from Lincoln county.
There are a number of men in Toccoa
who would be glad TO see Hon. j. G. c.
Black, of Augusta, Governor of Georgia.
There are said to be several dark Con-
gressional horses in the Athens district
hoping that a split may be made in the
convention by which they can creep in.
Marietta journal: Mr.. BacOn's friends
contend that he was cheated out of the
nomination for Governor. Gen. Gordon
was cheated out of the office of Governor
after the people had elected him. Let us
right the greater wrong first.
Hon. w. H. Dawson, of the Seventeenth
district, having been urged by many
friends to be a candidate for State Sena-
tor, he has consented so far as to say that
ne will accept the nomination if rendered
to him, but he does not propose to enter
into any scramble for the office.
Athens Banner Watchman: Since Gen,
Gordon has seen fiji to so unjustlY assail
Clarke county in his speeches, we ask, in
all fairness, that he will agree to give
of our county half hour to reply to him,
at such time and place as he sees fit to
attack our county.
The Fulton County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee will meet to-day in the
grand Jury room to take into cOnsidera-
tiOn the fixing of a day to elect delegates
to the GubernatOrial Convention. All
the mem bers of the committee have been
duly notified by Walter R. Brown, the
chairman, and doubtless every member
will attend. There are % members.
Danielsville Monitor: If some OF our
people are so terribly bent on having a
military man for Governor why don't they
trot out Gen. LOngstreet for the nominal
tionS The only argument we have heard
in favor of Gen. Gordon is that he was a
gallant soldier. Gen. Longstreet was GER
tainly fully his equal as a soldier, and,
besides, there is no doubt as to his being
a citizen of Georgia.
Atlanta journal: That grand old man,
Doctor FELTON,, will soon discover, in his
personal war on General Gordon, that be
is in company with the very same crowd
who sought to destroy our Railroad Com
mission last summer. All the active
friends of the commission are for Gordon
except Doctor FELTON,. Doctor, you must
feel very lonesome battling for the rail-
road candidate. 1t is not what your
friends had a right to expect. Personal
likes and dislikes should not control US in
matters where so mucn is at stake. The
people of Georgia well know that Gordon's
offense to you was in going into your dis
trict when you were a candidate for Con-
gress and making a speech for organized
Democracy and it's One-armed nominee,
the gallant George n. Lester. What Dem
ocrat in Georgia will go with you in seek
ing to punish Gordon for doing his duty
to the Democratic party?

A Terrible Crime.

From the NelcndR GA AdUeTttser-
For more than two years those who
have lived near the home of one Joseph
smith, a painter by trade, who came from
Franklin to Newman, have related awful
stories of the cruel and inhuman treat
ment to his little girl. Mary, who had the
misfortune TO lose her mother several
years ago. Her father married young
woman in Heard, soon after losing his
first wife, and by whom he has several.
children. On coming inIo her new home
the stepmOther began a system OF perse-.
cution on Mary that would make
ones blood run wild with indignation.
In this brutality she was joined by
her husband. During the coolest weather
this little girl, thinly clad and baret0oted,
has been made to stand over the washJub
all day, and taen, instead OF providing
her with good and substantial food, the
same as she did her own children, this
cruel stepmother would drive her under
the house like a dog to suffer further
agony. This inhuman treatment, as we
understand 1t, has been going on for more
than two years. until it has greatly affected
the child's mind. We also learn that the
people OF Franklin threatened to tar and
feather both Of them, when they fled that
county aud came to Newman. A true
bill WAS found against smith by the grand
jury in Heard county in 1884, but for
some reason the trial has been put off.
1t is now set for a hearing on the third
Monday in this month The neighbOrs OF
Smith were again aroused last Thursday
or Friday night by the pitiful cries
Of this unfortunate girl during a beat
ing gwen her by her unnatural parents.
The matter was reported to the officers OF
law and search made for the child, but
without success. When the officers asked
Mrs. Smith where Mary was, she replied
she did not know, and what was more she
did not care. Some think she has been
rescued by kindly disposed persons,
while others are of the opinion that she
has been made away with by her parents.
Such a case is a reflection upon this
! community, aud it behooyes the citizens
to act promptly and deci5iYely in the
matter. 1t demands stringent applica-
tions for such an otfense, and the editor
of the Advertiser wlll be pleased to see,
If the facts above stated are true-and
they are vOuched for by some of the best
citIzens-Joe Smith and his wife taken
out on the public square and given 100
lashes each.

Gen. Gordon's Resignation.

Col. Isaac W. Avery, In his paper, the
Atlanta Capitol, has the following to say
relative TO the charge that Gen. Gordon
resigned his place in the United States
Senate in pursuance of a bargain be.
tween himself and Senators Brown and
ColQuitt:
The editor Of this paper knows the facts
connected with the resignation OF Gen.
Gordon as United States Senator and the
appointment by Coy. Colquitt OF ex-GOV.
Brown as Senator in his place.
At the time il was charged that the
whole matter was Que OF arrangement be-
tween these gentlemen for private inter-
est. They promptly denied it. The
charge was pressed vigorously. the
people nave four times overwhelmlng lily
declared the accusation false, by two cleo
lions OF Brown as Senator, the latter al
most unanimous. and by GOV. ColquitDs
reelection as Governor, and his election
as United States Senator. These tests
would seem 10 be decisive Of the matter
Gen. Gordou's candidacy for Governor
has revived the dead scandal. There was
never less basis for a charge. The editor
OF the Capitol was at the time OF the
resignation and appointment Secretary
OF the Executive Department under GOV.
COlqutt and knew every step OF the
transaction. He knows two facts that
utterly negative the idea Of a bargain.
l.. Gov. Colquitt was opposed to Gen.
Gordon's resignation, and tried to get MIN
TO withdraw IL.
,. Gen. Gordon was opposed to the APP
pointment Of GOV. Brown.
The resignation and appointment were
entirely disconnected and independent Of
each other.
The writer states The facts In the inter-
est of truth.

ALL NOT GOLD THAT GLITrERs.
Gilded Nickels Passed or on the
Unsuspecting in Early County.


Unsuspecting in Early County.
BAILEY, GA, May 23.--It seems that
Sullivan's experience in counterfeiting Is
notsutiiciently needed in this county. This
time the counterfeitis made by furnishing
nickels so as to give them the appearance
OF 50 gold pieces. There are nic6els in
circulation that have the figure on them,
but not the word cents" These are the
the nickels used. Last evening one these
counterfeit pieces was passed on negro
merchant here named Hall, by negro
man from Wheaton, four miles below here,
for 50 gold piece. Upon Halls discov-
erlng the deception he went after the
negro, who paid HAN his money
back and explained that he got the piece
from negro man in the neigbbornood of
the Appling Dtstiilery Company under
the following circumstances: The negro,
he said, asked him to change the piece,
He had, he said, only 81 50, which the ne-
gro took, telling him the balance, 10
cents, he could pay him some time when
he met him again. The negro passing II
on Hall disclaimed any knowledge of the
counterfeit till discovered by Hall. This
would be good case for a United States
detective to work up.

An amendment was adopted, requiring
the decision of the court to be reported to
Congress before any money be paid.
The last section of the bill, as it came
from tho Senate, reads as follows:
That until the final decision of the matter

viso, and on the contrary made the section
more stringent by adopting substitute pro-
