IRISH TELEGRAPH LINES CUT AND
 FULL REPORT NOT OBTAINABLE

LONDON. April 25-A rebellion has broken out in Ireland against Great Britain and it IS known that some parts of Dublin the capital city have been captured by the rebels but that the full story not yet known is almost certain Augustine Birre the chief secretary for Ire land and member of the British cabinet announced this afternoon in the house of commons that all the telegraph
 lines to Dublin have been and this is taken as an ndi cation that the rebels possession of the greater part and the most important parts of the city already The first announcement today that after day of most serious fighting OF rotng the Irish rebels had secured possession of four five parts of the capital They have also captured the general post office which is great and strong building and it is supposed their intention to fortfy it. Birre has since reported however that the British troops have recaptwed the building The rebel
 lion started days ago and the first attempt was put down by hastenng soldiers from the Cmragh the great military camp in the county of Kildare some twenty miles from Dublin In that fight it is known, twelve at least were slain but the rising then had evidently not assumed such serious proportions The interruption Ot the tele- graph communications has prevented the learning of the number of the total casualties but it is assumed that as the rebels have taken parts of the city the fighting must have been severe and bloody The outbreak is considered here 10 be part of well organized plans the part of Ger many to Strup great revolution in the island It IS now known that the Germans attempted to land Sir Roger Basement and force of German sailors in the hope that the dramatic entrance of Easement would enable him toI lead the Irish and sweep the country Sir Roger is anI Irish knight who was formerly member of the British consular service but who few years ago came into theI lmeight as the leader in rotng in Dublin When theI European broke out he went to Berlin and from there plotted against the British government It was repOrted today that he was captured few days ago while on al German gun runner that tried to land arms in Ireland butt this is not fully confirmed The gun runner is known to have been destroyed and mor has that Sir Roger was aboard and was apprehended Serious apprehension isl felt here regarding the Irish rising it well known that thousands of Irish volunteers have been drilled and armed within the past few years but Redmond the chairman off the Irish party and it is believed the vast majority of the Irish people, are remaining friendly to the empire, so that the whole affair may end without general insurecton

WHAT MEANS THIS ELASTIC CHARTER?

Look out for that peculiar Charter applied
for in Cobb Superior Court by W. G.. Liggett,
of Dallas, Tex, and c. c.. Houston, of Lewis
burg, Tenn.
There are not any mines In Cobb County,
so I'm told-but these two non-resdents want
to incorporate the 'MARIETTA MINING
COMPANY" sell stock, issue bonds, and do
about and build roadways, tramways, RAIL-
WAYS, electric power, water power, acid
plants, and a whole lot of other charitable
institutions.
They want an office "near Marietta which
means in Atlanta, perhaps.
Then they want the power to establish
other offices, all over the State.
BY Golly! as Ben Blackburn would say,
that's whale of Charter
The Company wants to be as big as the L.
& n Railroad
L wonder if Liggett and Houston are any
kin to that lovable soul, Milton Smith, whose
lobbyists kill people, when they become too
troublesome to the L. & n
[ don't think [ ever knew two rank
strangers to come into Georgia, and propose
to envelop us with enterprises 50 large and
SO varied and so apparently Heterogeneous
as those OF Llggett and Houston.
ALWAYS NAGG1NG AT WATSON.
1t is said that the committee tried to get the
services OF Tom Watson, many of them were
members of the old Watson faction in this county
and are still great admirers of him 1t is also
SAID that Watson consented to take charge of the
matter, provided the committee would agree to
put up the sum of $1,000. 1t was found that this
sum was not so easy to raise, however so a COM
promise has been made lawyer who is
willing tot AXE a little less for his services The
name OF the attorney has not been divu1ged,
though report has it that it will be well known
lawyer from nearby city.
The above is from Townsville, and ap.
pears in The Macon Telegraph.
1t is not true. I informed the gentlemen
that it is impossible for me to take any case
at any price, and I recommended Hon. J.
Gordon Jones, of Cordele, who has been en-
pIoyed.

THE JEFFERSONTAN

was Milledgeville man. myself, but
gracefully bowed to the will of the majority,
after Col. Bob McWhorter and Evan Howell
had licked u.s.
AT present, am uncommitted and nom
commlttal. My frame of mind is the same
that Nat Harris was on the State road, be-
fore he learned that We didn't want to sell it.
ATLANTA NEEDS FEW REFORMS.
There are some things, however, that in
cline me trifle against Atlanta. One is that
Dr. Bosh Fielder, DR.. Eichelberger, DR.. Stock
bridge, and DIR. Pete Bahnsen live there. They
ought to have town to themselves: it would
be such relief to the town they left.
Then, again, don't like the way the Police
Matron of Atlanta has been sending serf-labor
to Popes workshop in Cincinnati. The rail
reading of Georgia girls into the Roman
Catholic servltude, maust be stopped, for good
and all, before The Jeffersonian can side with
Atlanta In this Removal fight.
Likewise, we want to know why the Catho-
lies OF Atlanta control the Public Schools so
completely, that the United States flag IS not
allowed to come into them. There are only
5000 footkissers in the Gate City, whose
population is 100000. With only 2h per cent.
of population, the Romanists have more than
30 per cent. of the school teachers. Hon. IS
that?
And when the Junior Order of American
Mechanics rendered some United States flags,
they were rejected
Tell us why, Brother Howell!
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Another thing sticks in our craw:
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has
become the hatchery for new legislation and
for State dictation, generally.
We don't intend that a handful of tax
lodging millionaires shall incubate behind
closed doors, and hatch laws for Georgia.
Those pompous, purse proud aristocrats take
their orders from Wall Street, and the main
purpose they have in view, is that the rapidly
increasing expenses Of State government shall
not be borne equally by the Northern corpora
tions which own the best-paying properties in
Georgia.
That is the true reason why the Chamber
of Commerce secretly Matched the unj Just
Tax-Inequalty law which now makes such a
big difference between the taxes paid by the
people, and those paid by the corporations.
The law has not equalized taxes, anywhere;
and you can go to John Harris own county,
and you can find glazing favoritismo, just as
you can find it in every other county.
Different farms, divided only by the Big
road, will show the greatest discrepancy in
assessment.

[ b1ooao, because [ used to catch hill, under

THE COUNTY UNIT.
To enact County unit zae0, would serve
several good purposes:
a. 1t would make a State convention
analogous to the State legislature, consistent
with it, and therefore our whole system would
be symmetrical:
(2.) 1t would respect the spirit of the
Constitution Of 1877, which denies to the big
counties the full weight of numbers, in the
Senate or House.
g. 1t would meet the popular demand
that the country counties be protected from
the corporation vote the whiskey vote, the
money vote, and the job-lash vote of the big
cities.
BUSTING THE CONSTITUTION, FOR CoCA-COLA.
Bishop Gambler continues to attack our
highest law. He is not helping Atlanta, nor
himself, nor his church. We don't want
church-rule in Georgia, and we are not going
to take any chances. We dread the thin edge
Of Gamblers wedge.
He and his sycophants resort to the subter-
fuge that he only proposes to let the people
cote on his proposition, to deprive the State
Treasury Of toa'-naoney, IN order that the
church may haze 1t.
Would he approve, if some member of the
legislature should introduce bill to change
the Constitution, so as to abolish trial by
jury?
Would he want the people to vote again. on
the guarantee of free press and free speech?
Would he advocate the submission to the
people, for another cote, the clause as to re-
Iigious liberty?
In 1877, the people said, By their votes, that
they did not want church institutions to have
State aid. To exempt church schools from
taxation, is State aid to the cntemt Of the
exemption. Warrent Gambler isn't the bright
est man living, but he is bright enough to see
that.
Bro. Warrent's idea Of religion is decidedly
Papal. He believes you can take a child, and
load him with Faith, just as we used to pour
powder and shot into the old bird-gun, and
ram them home with the ram-rod
WE'LL I'm old fashioned, probably.
Children can't get religion before they get
sense; and if young people never are con-
verted, until the schooI-teacher does it, they
cannot be anything more than nominal
Christians.
Of course, if you want to take helpless
young man, and lead him through the Dismal
Swamps of orthodox theology, where Arian-
ism must be differentiated from Athana-
sianism, Arminianism from Erastrianism,
Pedo-Baptists from Anabaptists, Missionary
Baptists (like meg from Hardshells, Luther
ans from Dutch Reformed, Holy Rollers from
nunkards, Mormons from Mohammedans-
why, that's different.
If the young man aims to be preacher,
and wants to be a shining light, such as War
rem Gambler, he must study hard enough to

time, and he employed the Sheriff to nego-
tiate the interview.
Let it alone
Don't reflect upon all the nice men, now on
the bench, by changing the system, and i'm
pliedly accusing them Of stopping too low in
their intercourse with laymen.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD ELECT ALL COUNTY OFFICERS
Six hundred appointive county officers,
virtually fixing their own pay, and one-third
of them in office for six years, create petty
despotism, which discriminates in favor of
the County and Expresses the minority.
The people never would have voted for that
law and the legislature would repeal it, if
the Chamber of Commerce were not it's boss.
LET THE JUDGES ALONE.
Time was, when a common man never dared
speak to the Superior Court Judge, until he
had negotiated arrangements through the
Sheriff -
Time was, when the Judge was top-lofty
mortal, whose sublime head incommoded the
stars; and the Reign of Terror he brought
about in the Courthouse, was prostrating.
The election of judges by the people
changed all this. The cold Judge" became
human. If you didn't speak to him first, he
suspected you might vote against him next
