From Qteehsto90n Dispatch.
An occurrence Of a most singular and ex-
ceeding painful nature took place tonight on
board the steam tender after leaving the
White Stnr steamer Britannia, which called
of here from New ork, en- route to Liver
pool. Several saloon passengers disembark ed
from the transatlantic liner for the purpose of
being conveyed on shore, among whom were a
lady of progressing appearance, with her
maid and four young children, IN company of
her LAWYER. They hat no sooner taken their
seats in the cabin OF the steam tender when
the lady's husband approached her in most
excited manner and demanded his children.
She became almost frantic at his presence,
and screamed Tor protection. He then at

him bv the throat and dashed HIM on the
floor. That gentleman, with great alertness,
gained his feet quicSly and grasrcd hold OF
the in'uriated husband, ana fierce struggle
ensued.
The american lady and her four little chill
dren. together with the maid, screamed,
which caused the tnssle to be continued with
much force until the husband was Knocked

There are several things which voters
of Chatham county ought TO keep In
mind to-day. One is that the
ticket nominated at the mass meeting
is knights Of Labor ticket. The eandi-
dates on that ticket may be Democrats.
but they were selected at caucus OF a
secret organization which does no, claim
to be Democratic, and were nominated by
members of that organization. They
may 30 pledged 10 do certain
things OF which neither the county De-
mocraoy tor :lc public knows anything.
The tact tina; they were selected at a
secret caucus is, at least, ground for sus-
picion that they have made pledges. The
resolutions adopted for their guidance are
certainly not Democratic resolutions.
Another thing is that the ticket known
as the old ticket, and led by Capt. Cor
don, is Democratic ticket. Those who
compose it are beyond question Demo-
Gratis. and the people know what to OK
pect of them. The interests OF all classes.
workingmen as we'll as others, will ba
we'll and impartielly cared for if intrusteu
70 them.
1t will be well for the wOrkingmen en-
plOyed on the railroads to remember that
if the mass meeting resolutions had been
| adopted as they were written, and prob
ably approved by the Knights OF Labor
caucus, they would have required the
mass meeting candidates to support the
Railroad Commission. The fact that the
cut and dried resolutions sustained the
commission shows where the
| leading knights stand with regard
to it. The harder the commission
presses on the railroads the less able will
the roads be to pay living ages.
1t might be well to remember also that
there is no struggle in this community
| between capital and labor. Labor is COM
planning OF nothing. Workingmen are
getting good wages and are apparen tly
satisfied. Why. then, do the knights OF
Labor lend themselves to a movement
which looks to the running of the politics
OF the county? What grievance have
they which leads those OF them who are
Democrats to separate themselves from
their party and ally themselves to another
political organization? Have they, in
fact, anv grievance! Does it not look
as if few wirepulers and demagogues
were trying to use them for selfish pur-
poses? Who are the men who are fgur-
ing as their mouth pieces! Are they re-
markable for their standing as working
men?
These are things for workingmen who
have a stake in the community, and W no
are part of it, to ponder. If they
think of them carefully they will know
how to vote. The fact that the Knights
Of Labor we're led to nominate two law
yers-members OF a class not admitted to
membership in their organization-ought
to arouse their suspicious that this politi-
cal movement is not in the interest OF
workingmen; and if 1t is not, why should
they give it their support?

Improving the Constitution.

Two important amendments to the con-
stitution of Georgia will doubtless be
ratified by the people of the State to-day,
as there seems to be no opposition to them
whatever. These are the result of the
first successful attempts to amend the
constitution since its ratification IN De-
cember, 1877.
The present constitution OF Georgia is,
taken as whole, model instrument. 1t
is the result OF the joint labors and life
study of the ablest men in the State
men who had ample opportunities 10 study
and observe the weak points in our former
constitutions.
1t is a fact worthy of especial notice
that in every provision where past ex-
perience was of value the constitution
seems to be as nearly perfect as the work
of human minds and hands can be. II
was only in those measures that may be
called experimental that the constitution
makers failed-those provisions that were
intended to be in the interests Of economi.
cal and speedy legislation, etc.
Frequent efforts have been made OIL
late years to enlist popular sentiment in
favor of calling another convention tC
frame new constitution. Not one o.
these efforts has met with any considera
Bile degree of success. The people are
wisely in tavor Of maintaining the pres
ent constitution, and they are not will
| ling to take even the bare risk Of getting 8
worse. in the attempt to secure q better
one. They seem to appreciate how easy
1t is to correct the defects of the constitu
ton without any risk, and almost with
out any expense.
Constitutional conventions are costly
Iuxuries, and sometimes they are costly
| in more senses than that relating to thu
direct outlay in dollars and cents for pei
diem, etc. The man who has really
splendid house as a whole, but which ha,
some defects, does not pull it down anC
build over again if he can help it. HI
merely tears out the detective parts anC
has the house altered until pleases him
Let Georgia continue to improve her pres
ent constitution.
