The Brunswick Judgeship.

The JGdgeship of the Brunswick cir
cult appears to be attracting some atten-
ton, particularly in the counties which
compose that circuit. Yesterday the
MORNING NEWS published a statement
from Hon. j. c. Nichols that he was not
seeking the Office and had not sought it..
He would not accept it, he says, unless
the people of the circuit should very gen.
orally express a desire that he should
have it. Under these circumstances he
cannot properly be considered to be a
candidate for the place.
A gentleman who appears to be well
posted relative to the different candidates
and their purposes says that Hon. Court
land Symmes was appointed TO the va
cancy created by Judge Mershon's resig-
nation upon the recommendation of Col.
G. j. Holton, of Appling county, Mr.. j..
l.. Sweat, Of Clinch, and their friends of
the bar of the circuit. Mr.. Symmes was
the only applicant for the place. He Will,
of course, be an applicant before the Leg
islature for the position for the uneXpired
term. Col. Holton and Mr.. Sweat will be
candidates before the Legislature for the
full term, beginning on the expiration of
the unexpired term, which Judge Symmes
is now filing out.
There has been some speculation as to
whether Brunswick would have a caudi-
date. The better opinion is that she will
not, but that she will support one or the
other Of the gentlemen who are already
recognized candidates. she has had the
Judgeship tor several terms, and it is be-
lieved that she is willing that some one of
the other counties shall now have the
honor. The position 10 one of honor
rather than profit, az indeed are all the
judicial offices in Georgia, with the posi-
bic exception of that Of Justice OF the
Peace, which in some localities is said to
be rather profitable.

Protection in Alabama.

Hon. y. NJ. Martin, OF the Sixth district
of Al ALBANIA, W on some improbable noto-
riety in the late session of Congress by
aiignipg himself against his party and
with the Republican party on the tariff
question. He has been pretty good Con-
gresham, and his constituents seem to
have had no cause to complain of him
relative to his positions on other ques-
tiOns, but they have retired HIM from SER
vice without going through the formality
OF giving him an Endorsement. He has
been defeated for denomination. Abiding
to Mr.. Martins defeat the Montgomery
Advertiser says: "All who know Mr.. Mar
tin recognize his ability, his legislative
experience and his fitness for public life.
AS Senator in the Legislature, during
the darkest period of our history, he made
record which entities him to the lasting
gratitude Of all good citizens. His cleo
ton to Congress two years ago was in
exact accord with the expectations of
those who know his patriotism and his
capacity for wise legislation. For some
months an opposition to his return has
been developed, which. II seems. was
strong enough on Friday last to
secure his defeat at the convention
held at Fayette court house. MIR.
Martin voted against the considera-
ton Of the tariff, bill reported by Mr..
Morrison from he Ways and Means Com
mittee, ard without making further in
quirles, it is more than probable that but
for that vote ne would to-day be the nomi-
nee of the party for representative in the
Fiiticth Congress" In the Advertisers
judgment, there would have been no
change If Mr., Martin had not given the
Unfortunate vote against considering the
tariff reform measure.
How often have we been informed that
Alabama was for protection, that The
Sixth district was especially strongly Oh.
posed to any reduction of the tariff! Ger
tain newspapers and Mr.. Samuel Mobiles
together have been so persistent i'll claim
ing Alabama for protection that it had
almost come to be generally believed. 1t
Is now pretty certain that Alabama is not
in favor of protection. If her people want
any protec tion at all, they are willing to
take what tariff for revenue will afford
when so adjusted as to bear heaviest on
Injuries and lightest on necessaries OF
life.
Probably Mr.. Martin was misled by the
newspapers Of his district, and really
thought he was pleasing his constituents
when he followed the lead OF MIR. Randall
and united with the Republicans TO de-
feat the great reform measure that was
meant to make beginning toward carry
ing out the fundamental doctrine 0t his
party. II such was the case he was un.
fortunate. 1t would clearly have been
better and more profitable If he had rested
firmly in the Democratic faith, as pro-
nounced by the great ma ority of the party
IN Congress, and risked the consequences
1t looks very much like the solid South
will be solid tor tarlr reform in the next
Congress, or at least, very nearly so.

Geronimo.

1t is thought to be probable that Ger
opimo and his band of Chiricahua
paches will be sent to Florida for safe
| keeping. 1t is pretty certain that they
cannot be kept in Arizona with any
degree OF safety. They will stay on
reservation for awhile, and then they be-
come restless, escape and start out on the
warpath.
The army has been engaged with the
Apache Indians TOR several years. Many
lives have been lost, and an enormous
amount of money spent in trying to pro-
tect the settlers against them. Geronimo
was captured several times, but managed
on each occasion to escape. The diff
Guilty of keeping him and his followers
upon a reservation in Arizona is so great
that it is not deemed advisable to try 1t
again. In Florida they will not have much
incentive to try to escape. They will I'M
derstand that they cannot make their way
back TO Arizona, because they would be
captured before they had proceeded far on
their journey. 1t will be of no benefit to
them to escape into the Florida swamps.
They would find nothing there that would
be attractive to them, and If they should
attack the settlers they would have little
or no mercy shown them.
The government has dealt altogether
too generously with Geronimo. He has
committed crimes enough to justify his
hanging. Not only has he murdered and
robbed the peaceable settlers of Arizona
and New Mexico, but he
has time and again broken
the pledges given the government for his
good behavior. 1t would be but Just to
bring him before military court, and if
convicted, as he no doubt would be, seD-
crimes deserve.
There Is no doubt that Geronimo is in
many respects a remarkable man. He
escaped from Fort Apache year ago last
May, and since that time he has led the
troops lively race. Once he was
captured and for one night
was the prisoner of Gen. Crook.
1t is marvellous that he succeeded in
eluding the soldiers and maintained
himself while being holly pursued so
long, The story of his career would be
an interesting one, and, doubtless, now
that his days on the war-path are over, it
Will soon be put into print by some en-
terprising literary man.
There is woman connected with &C.
ronimo's band whose influence with his
followers was scarcely less than his. She
is the wife of Chief Magnus, and is not
only Intellectually much superior to the
average squaw, but Is possessed of con-
siderable eloquence and great courage.
Whenever the band was discouraged
and talked about surrendering, it was her
voice that inspired them with new reso-
lutions to continue the struggle. H.
deed 1t is said that her suggestions fire.
quently eXtricated the band from ex-
tremely difficult situations.
If Geronimo is sent to Florida he will,
for a year or two, be an attraction that
will draw winter visitors to that State.
He Is about the most famous Indian
chief with which the government has had
trouble within the last few years.

CharIestOn's Loss.

The Assessor OF Charleston has fur
nished some figures relative to the value
of real property in that city, the damage
done by the cyclone In August, 1885, and
the earthquake in August, 1886.
The assessment completed Aug. 81,
1886. on a basis not exceeding 80 per cent.
of the market value of property, amounts
to $20,000,0O0. This does not include
school, church, county and Federal build
ings. The value Of these is placed at
$6, 10000
The damage done by the cyclone is
placed at 1900, 900, and that by the earth
quake at S5,00O,00O. About two-tifths of
the damage by the cyclone had been re-
paired at the time OF the earthquake.
1t seems that Charleston has 1000
residences and 1900 places of business.
This is estimated, but as the estimate is
made by the City Assessor it is, doubtless,
not far out of the way.
From this statement it is apparent that
the injury which Charleston has suffered
ls not irreparable. The talk that she will
not recover from the earthquake calamity
is nonsense. She has lost none Of her bust
ness and is not likely to. Her ability to
rebuild herself is not impaired. If her
business were to leave her, or If her ia
ciliIies for doing business had
been wholly or partially destroyed, there
would then be reason to doubt that her
prosperity would be as great as it was be-
fore the earthquake. II her loss in build
ings is $4,000, 600 it is only matter Of cal
culation, taking Assessor Kelly's figures
for basis, to determine how long it will
take her to remove her ruins and build
new structures. If 100000 OF the cy-
clone damage was repaired in one year
the whole Of the earthquake damage may
be repaired in five years, provided her
trade does not decline.
The money that's being sent to Charles
ton now will provide for the immediate
wants of her people, and there is reason
to think that money will be loaned her at
moderate rate Of interest with which to
erect new buildings and to repair those
which are worth repairing. To the
Charleston people the outlook for the fu-
ture is not as gloomy this week as it was
last, and it will be less gloomy next week
than 1T is this. Confidence in their ability
to overcome their troubles Will continual
ly grow stronger until they will be able
to see their way clear to a complete re-
covery from the effects of the calamity.

Burying the Wires.

The laying of the conduit for the elec-
satisfactorily. The work is not as sim pie
as those who are not familiar with the
business and the ground under the streets
of the city might suppose it to be. Much
rock is encountered in places, which
makes the work slower and more eXpen-
siye than it would otherwise be. After
the trenches are dug in sections, the con-
crete foundation is laid, and then the hi
luminous conduit3 arc put down and the
ends joined aud Theoretically sealed with
pitch.

when all the electrical companies are
forced TO comply with the law requiring
them to do away with poles and put their
wires underground.
The Sight OF tho leading companies
against the enforcement OF the law is
probably about ended. The energetic &C.
ton Of the commissioners, who are led
by MIR. Ros swell p. Flower, is fully indOrsed
by public opinion in the city and through.
out the country. Within the next year or
two the wires in New York Will probably
be ali put lander ground, and other cities
will doubtless soon follow the example.
The overhead wires are n source Of great
inconvenience and oftentimes of incalcu-
liable danger. These facts are emphas zed
by the scenes witnessed in Charleston
during the past ten days.

THE MOUNTAINS OF HEPsIDAM.
Hills Which Were Once the Haunts of
the Famous sazerac Club.

From the San Francisco Post
A curious correspondence is going on IN the
columns of an evening contemporary on the
origin Of the name He psidam, which has been
given to a nook in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
One writer traces it to the Hebrew word
Heph-Zi-bah, which occurs in Isaiah, and
signifies my del ighG is IN her" Another has
found it in meek heroic sermon which used
ago. The preacher. a hard-shell Bautist, be-
gan by declaring that he ''played upon a harp
OF thousand strings. srerrits Of just men
made perfcck," and used the word Hepsidam
in a subsequent portion of his discourse.
We rather think that the first use of the
name occurred in that we'll known political
brochure. THE Gospel Of Peace" which was
published in New York just before the out
break OF the war. 1t was pablished anony-
mOusly, and though its authorship was sus-
pecled by many II was only on the death of
the late Richard Grant White that 1t was
actually known to be his. The pamphlet
had an enormous sale. and was not with
out political importance. 1t hit of the
deughface Democracy SO admirably
that many of its phrases became
names, which Mr.. Whites exuberant fancy
led him to invent. passed into collOqulal use
Almost every one had heard of Fernandiwud,
the Pandees, and the Great Spirit BaaE bone.
One of the names which Mr.. White seems to
have invented, for some reaeon only known
to himself, was Hepst am, He used 1t in the
following verse of his gospel:
Flee into the mountains of Hepsidam,
Where the Lon rOaretb,
And the whangdoodle mou meth over its nrst
born.
