ASTONISHED NORTHERNERS.
Their Visit to Georgia an Eye.Opener.

Northern people who visit here
say that they are surprised to see
how differently and kindly the ne
gro IS treated in Georgia, than
was represented and that they we're
made to believe by partizan press
and Republican politicians at home.
They doubtless expected to see on
their visit to Marietta, long-haired
Johnny Rebs,' wearing slouched
hats, with their trousers stuffed in
their boots, with pistols and bowie
knives buckled around their waists,
and ever now and then hear the
crack of a pistol and see a negro
tumble over dead. On the contrary
they see neatly dressed, unarmed
people, educated and engaged in
various industries and pursuits,
whites and blacks getting along
peaceably and friendly together,
not even street fight or a drunken
brawl, Sabbaths quiet and duly OBJ
served, the people law-abiding and
spirit of progress and thrift every
where apparent, elegant homes,
schools and churches, thus pre-
senting a scene more like Acadia,
than a land of barbarians and cut
Threats, and they are astonished.
They say they will go back home
as missionaries for the South. But
when they go and tell their tale so
favorable to the South, they will
not be believed, land the spirit of mis-
representation will be kept alive. A
Republican who came to this place
number of years ago, wrote back
to his Republican friends in New
York the true situation as he found
it. They sent him word that they
didn't believe him, that the Demo-
Gratis in Georgia had corrupted him.
So it goes.

FROM THE BITE OF A NEGRO.
a White Man in Alabama Dies of Fly.
dr0phObia.

In Clay county, Alabama, March
II, Oscar Hill, prominent farmer,
died of hydrophobia. suffering the
most horrible agony before he died.
His death was the result of a bite
on the finger by a negro several
weeks ago. Hill had fight with a
negro, who bit one of his fingers to
the bone, inficting an ugly wound.
The finger became infamed, and
finally had to- be amputated. Then
the swelling continued up the arm,
and finally that was cut off near the
shoulder. Several days ago symp-
toms of hydrophobia developed, and
Hill rapidly grew worse until he
died. The attending physician pro-
nounced it case of hydrophobia.
The negro Davis, was what is
known as "blue gum negro" his
gums being blue in color, and there
is general belief that the bite Of
such negroes is always fatal. Physi
clans say that this color of the gums
is caused by bad blood, and that in
such cases bite would be poison
GUS, and probably fatal. Davis is
under arrest, charged with murder

CURRENT OPINION.

We have numerous communications on
hand regarding the question of prohibit
ton, for which we cannot find room at
present. Nearly all of them are opposed
to the high license movement, but as the
movement" seems now to be gradually
disappearing, it would seem to be a waste
of ammunition.-[ liardwick Gazette.
The appointment of Iicut.-Col. Will
liam Smith to the position of paymaster-
general of the regular army leads the
St. Albans Messenger to remark that
"Nermont is small State away up ON
the map, but it picks tie plums just the
same 1t might have added that Ner-
mont is not obliged to shake the branch
es either Burlington Free Press.
The advocates of high license were so
flushed with the victories of the year
that they hoped to make successful
assault upon the prohibition sentiment
of the Green Mountain State. The result
is precisely what we have predicted it
would be. Any agitation of the subject
in Vermont only adds intensity to the
purpose of the people to adhere to the
present prohibitory law lions Herald.

AFAMlLY AFFAIR.

Offices, in Vermont, seem to go, not
by favor or merit entirely, but by fam
lily. Within not a great many years we
have had two governors of the Fairbanks
clan and two Dillinghams. One Mr..
Grout is in Congress, his brother is
speaker of the House and wants TO be
lieutenant governor. There is said to be
still another brother, who will probably
show up from the backwoods of Orleans
county this fall and run for the speaker
ship if the Hon. Josiah gets the second
place on the State ticket. The Hon. H..
G.. Fiske of Morrisville, [. ). consul at
ST. Johns, trustee of the Reform school,

For RuRLlNGTON's BENEEIT.

The area of political high pressure
which has been central over Burlington
for some time shows no signs of dimin-
ishing. There are, it is true, minor storm
centers up in Lamoille and Franklin
counties and down Bennington way;
but they are to hat in Darlington as is
a summer zephyr to the Louisville cy-
clone. The sin thar wrought the down
fall of the angels-ambition-h John
J.. Sullivan grip on several residents of
the city by the lake. Lieut. .-Gov. Wood
bury is not averse to being called up
higher, the Hon. Henry Ballard would
not refuse the nomination for Congress,
the Hon. w. l.. Burnap is quite certain
that State Auditor Powell has had the
office long enough and that he could
perform the duties, while Secretary of
the Senate Brownell is talked of as sue
cessor to Secretary of State Porter. The
bare statement of the situation is suffi-
cient to make it clear why even the spirit
of sweetness and light which emanates
from the agricultural college is not
powerful enough to calm the souls of
Burlngtonans and why apprehensions
of serious trouble are felt by friends
of the city.
A plan has been suggested, in the in
uerest of peace and econOmy-especiallv
the latter, the adoption of which would
without question please the people of
this county 1t is that some one of the
gentlemen named be nominated to all
the offices that Burlington desires, and
also for treasurer, and that he be made
commissioner of taxes in addition. The
State now pays the governor $500 a
year; the secretary of State, Sl700; the
treasurer, Sl700; the auditor, Sl400. and
the commissioner of taxes, $500, a total
of $4,000. The grand-combinatiOn Off
cial might he given a salary of $1,000
which is more than one voter out of
five thousand earns-thus saving TO the
people a clean $1,000 and to Burlington
at this time an infinite deal of heart
burning. One capable man could easily
do all the work. No lieutenant COVER
nor is needed. The Senate can elect one
of its members to preside; no governor
eyer died in Office. and, if he did, the
constable of the town in which he re-
sides could do the business till the
next election.
