one of the most prominent Republi-

Democrat. A newspaper announce
ment that he had turned Democrat,
calls out the following published
card. He says: "There is no Re
publican party in Georgia. There is
small, close corporation of few
negroes and white men who keep up
just enough organization to send
themselves as delegates to republican
national conventions and to keep
themselves in office. This part is
wholly dominated by negroes, not
such learned, broad-minded men as
Bishop Turner Grandson and others
of their kind, but by class of me-
groes who, were they white men,
could have no standing in any party
or community. The administration
at Washington promptly makes APP
pointments as recommended by this

There was an interesting discus
sion in the House last Friday grow
ing out of proposition submitted
from the committee on war claims to
classify all claims for stores and sup
plies furnished for the use of the
United States army during the late
war upon which favorable findings
have been rendered by the Court of
Claims. Among the claims provided
for in the bill are the following from
this county:
William c. Ramey, s1,815.5o;
George II. Beckwith, 81, 82O; James
S. Coleman, executor of Daniel Cole
man, deceased, $3.50; William J..

Thomas, administrator of Lewis
Thomas, deceased, 1891 Samuel W.
Wysong, executor of James Wysong,
S1,325; Edward Tearney, admins
traitor of Samuel Ridcnour, 81, 815.
The bill occasioned long debate
as to whether the committee ON war
claims had exceeded its Jurisdiction
in reporting the bill to the House in
"Iump FORM" Eastern and Western
Republicans, who have no local in
terest in the various claims, raised
the point of order against its consid-
Grafton, and general review of the
Bowman act followed. Representa-
tive McComas made a strong argu-
ment in favor of sustaining the action
of the committee, ON the ground that
the Court of Claims had carried out
the law and established the loyalty
of the respective claimants and sub
mitted it's. findings in the various
cases. The opponents of the bill
managed to consume the entire ses-
sion in discussion, so that the House
adjourned without reaching a de-
cision on the point of order, which
was still pending.

In the Supreme Court of Appeals
Btannon vs.. the County Court of Ka-
nawha County, opinion by Judge
Brannon; decree of the Circuit Court
affirmed. The syllabus of the de-
eision reads as follows: " Taxes i'm
posed by the County Court for road
purposes in district under chapter
80, acts 1881, (code 1887. page 338, )
are taxes assessed by county author
tiles within the meaning of section z
article 10 of the constitution, and
are to be included with other taxes
levied by the County Court in deter
mining whether the limit of taxation
therein fixed will be exceeded" 1t
was commended by the defendant that
taxes levied for road purposes were
not to be counted in with the regu-
lar levy made for general purposes,
and that the aggregate might thus
exceed 95 cents on the one hundred
dollars of valuation, but the court
decided otherwise.

The storm which has been raging

the vernal equinox has been one of
the most severe in the annals of the
republic. 1t seems to have spread
itself in different storm shapes from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf and from
the Atlantic to the SUBMITS of the
Rocky mountains. In the far north
west it assumed the appearance of a
bitter blizzard, near to US it precipi-
tated itself as fierce hail stones of
large size, and in Illinois and Ken
lucky it came in cyclone and great
torrents of rain. The destruction of
human life and property in these
States is very great. The city of
Louisville is a heavy loser, the wind
cutting a great swath throughout a

Another Calamity Predicted.
d Greater mississippi Flood Than
Euer. Seer Before.

New YoRK, March 28.-Sergeant
Dunn, of the signal service, in an in
terriew this afternoon, says that one
of the greatest calamities the country
has ever known is imminent and that
it is the duty of the press to warn the
people of the lower Mississippi to
prepare for the worst. He says:
1.-THE flood tide just entering the
river from the Mississippi River at
St. Charles at Cairo from the upper
waters of the Ohio will be greatly
augmented to-day by the increased
rain fall and high winds, and there is
every probability that all the districts
bordering upon the lower Mississippi
river will experience the greatest
flood ever known"
This will probably arrive at Cairo
in two or three days, but it may be
three weeks before it reaches New
Orleans, which will be visited without
doubt by one of the most disastrous
floods ever known, and 1 would not
give cents for my life in that city
when the wave crest strikes it.
