Gen, John Bration has been elected to Congress from the Fourth Congressional District, to fill out the unexpired term of the late Col. John H. Evins. Gen. Bratt?n is an excellent gentleman, and will make an earnest and faithful Repre? sentative. The Legislature convened at 12 o'clock *; on Tuesday, andjjrcceeded to .the; work . of organization. Lieut.-Gov. Sheppard presides over the senate, and the follow? ing officers of that body were re-elected s ^tflerk, Col:, T. Stob? Farrow; Reading Clerk, Col. A. D. Goodwin; Sergeant-at-.

The work will doubtless be done in an expeditious and conservative manne,t which will prove advantageous" to the State. ????-?-??;?- . IThe idea that the Democratic party intends to put'ft a negro back into slave? ry has produced considerable uneasiness among the colored people of some sec? tions of the South. It has been told; to the negro by designing Republican poli-; ^icians in order to make them- vote the radical ticket, until the negro has in. . many instoqees beReved it.: Of comae* the, more intelligent negro knows that there; is absolutely1 no truth in. these reports. The South does not want the, negro hack into slavery, and could hot . put him.hick if she did. The negro is not only j free,- but he will remain. free, j -The Southern -people will protect the" j negro in every right which" he now en? joys, and by driving out the designing white men who have led him astray, will give an era of prosperity and peace, to white and colored alike, which has ?i never before.been enjoyed, by our cpuu ? try. : - .' ^ ? V-'.'. The fpeech delivered': by Mr. Blainej in Augusta, Maine, last week, appears { upon the fast page-of the Intelligen ;ceb, arid wil} be found interesting read jgijpg' to our people. Coming as it does from the defeated candidate of a great political party, it illustrates the venom and hate from which more than one third of the Union has been delivered ?.by. tbe t?solt of the late Presidential election. The speech was both able and adroit. It was bitter and vindictive. It was the boiling over of the fury and rage cf a disappointed politician, who was a bold, bad man, ambitious of power and without any of tbe higher conceptions of public duty. The'occasion was. gotten up for tbe purpose of allowing Mr. Blaine to unload the venom with which his mind was surcharged from his repu diatioa by the American people. It was no idle ebulition of talk, but the ma turely considered and carefully written speech which gave to the country the deliberate feelings of a political brute. Mr. Blaine has no excuse for this. attack upon the South. It has exercised a right which the North has exercised repeated ly, aud which Mr. Blaine tried to get it to exercise this time by going .solidly. In this he failed, and his speech shows that the South was wise in voting against a man who is so malignant and vicious in his efforts to stir up sectional strife. At first thought, Mr. Blaine's argument . that tbe white man of three Southern States, exercises twice the power of a . white man in, the Northern States, by reason of controlling the negro, may appear plausible, but it is far from being so. If the right to vote were taken away from the negro, it would make the States of Ohio and Indiana Democratic, so that the loss of votes in the Electoral Obliege would at last fall upon .'the Re? publicans. The negro voting with the Republicans in Ohio actually gives a minority of white men the control of '-that. State over a majority of white men. Mr. Blaine may lament, bot the country is at last free from the control, of his - party and its methods. The ' troubles of the past twenty years will rapidly adjust themselves, and the country will now go on in prosperity and peaceful progress. . Mr. Blaine in his speech has shown him? self to1 be " a hypocrite, - controlled by ^wignity arid spite. He will pass into history as one of the most contemptible of American politicians. Words of Wisdom. Boston, November 22.?In the cotitca ' of an interview with a represeritativerof j the Boston Globe to. day, President-elect Cleveland, iu speaking of the business and manufacturing interests of the coun try. and of the effect of a change in the Administration on these interests, said : "It goes without-saying that the Demo? cratic party is made up of merchants, business and workingmen, and everybody in it certainly desires good times and realizes that all people must be prosper? ous to ensure that result. We have 55, 000,000 people, almost boundless re? sources and hundreds of the strongest financial institutions in the world; thou? sands of enterprising merchants, the most skillful manufacturers and the most intelligent farmers and workmen on tbe face of the earth. Now, surely, the country with these characteristics has ? every qualification for solid, permanent prosperity. It will be my aim and the aim of all associated with mo in the con? duct of affairs at Washington to give the people of the'United States a safe, eco? nomical and conservative Government. The fact that so many business men and manufacturers and workingmen voted with the Democratic party in this elec? tion, shows that they were not afraid of a change in the Administration. The Democratic party iu its Chicago platform meant what it said, and said what it meant, and will carry the provisions of that platform which relate to tbe busi? ness interests of tbe country into effect. The most important thing is Iho restora? tion of confidence and the determination to forget partisan heat and excitement, and to devote our lives to tbe things which tend to the substantial welfare of of tbe country and.of all its people. In this event every man should feel that he has a part to perform." NO SLAVES FOR CLEVELAND. The President-elect on the Rights of the Freedmen. Albany, November 20. ? Governor Cleveland was asked by an Associated Press reporter ta-day if he was-aware of the delusion existing among the colored people of the South that the change v the Administration would unfavorably affect their condition, to which he replied: "Yes, I have been astonished at the statements that there was an apprehen? sion existing among the colored people that in some way their rights, now se? cured to them under the laws and Con? stitution of the United States, were in danger from the election of a Democratic President. I am even told that some of them are led to suppose that the result of the recent election means that they may again be made slaves. All of this has ap Eeared to me to be so absurd, and I have een so sure that the slightest intelligent reflection would dislodge such foolish ; fears, that I can hardly deem any notice of them necessary. But there is not the slightest objection to calling the attention > of all who are in the least uneasy npon .this subject to the fact that the title of '? the colored people to freedom and all the rights of citizenship cannot be disturbed except by a change of the Constitution, which it would be absolutely impossible to make. "Besides, the present condition or status of these people has been so fully, accepted by the entire country that no one Bhould have the slightest idea that any attempt will be made to change it! If there, was any possibility of accom? plishing such a thing, bo far as the hew, administration is related to this subject, the whole country can be sure that the lawful power and jurisdiction of the Ex-, exutive! will' be so exercised that'the, rights of all' citizens, white "or black, under the Constitution and laws will be preserved and protected, and all the ad? vantages to which 'they are entitled by reason of their citizenship will be secured to them. "There need be no fear that either the Democratic party or its newly-elected administration proposes to oppress or enslave any .part of our population, hor; to destroy the business interests of the* country.' . * "We .hope, on the other hand, to do something to benefit the people. It seems to me that our efforts ir: that direction would be aided if mischievous croaking and dark imaginings should give place to an earnest endeavor to inspire con fid ence and to make universal a cheerfulbope for the future." . . A Demoralized I'arty. Ever since1 the death of Garfiekl the Republican party has drifted hopelessly along:, torn by dissension,' and its very ' existence' threatened by defections. There is scarcely a State i u whieb' there ? are not two or more hostile cliques in the party. It was on the verge of des-' pair, if not dissolution, all through 1872' and 1873, and nothing bat Mr. Blaine's personal can yam saved it in 1884 from a defeat even worse than the one- that overtook Horace Greely. ? . :. ? But Blaine's personal strength was not sufficient to turn back the tide; it merely checked its- course. Outside of the contested and doubtful States the Republican losses wer? tremendous. Garfield'a plurality of 54,000 in Mas? sachusetts was cut down to 23,000, and if Butler had not been utilized by the Republican managers, it would probably have been-wholly overcome. Garfield'a -plurality of 29,605 in Wisconsin was brought down to 5,000. In Michigan Garfield had a plurality of 53,840?this great-vote was reduced this year to 4,000. Garfield had a plurality of 40,716 in Illinois; only 23,000 of it' remains. The magnificent vote of 78,682 in Iowa is now reduced to 18,000, and the. Demo? crats of this Stronghold of Republican? ism are beginning to be hopeful of com? plete success. In Kansas the Republi? can figures are cut down from 61,748 to 48,000. We need not extend the figures. There has been a steady and fixed drift against the Republican: party since 1881, and this drift would nave buried that party very deep this year if the Republi? cans had nominated any other man than James G: Blaine; for it was be who misled thousands of Irish-Americans by a seductive and thoroughly delusive Jingo programme, and invented the Butler fraud. If these two delusions ? bad had no part in the canvass, Moseacu setts, New Hampshire, Illinois, Wiscon? sin, Michigan, Colorado and the Pacific slope would have gone Democratic, and the Democratic majority iu New York would have been in the neighborhood of 100,000. Can the Republican managers bring the factions together? Will Con kling join hands with Depew, Cameron with the Philadelphia Press, and so on through the list of States? Will stalwart and half-breed trust each other? '? Will either or both succeed in winning back the ag? gressive and daring-independents? The friends of Garfield are not the: friends of Arthur; and the tatter's supporters hate the man of Maine. It is a rent and do moralized party?so torn and damaged that one short four years will Dot suffice ! 'to bring it together again. And out of power it is doubtful whether the party of monopolies and plunder can hold its own. Altogether the outlook of the Re? publican party is not promising, and the smile of the people is correspondingly broadened.?Atlanta Constitution. Don Cameron's Plan. Washington, November 20.?Several Republican Senators have been in town the past week. They talked considerably about what course the Republican ma jority in the Senate will adopt respecting President Clevelands appointments in the extra-session to be called March 4. The proposal of Senator Don Cameron, who appears confident of his re-election, that the Republican caucus agree not to confirm any of' the President's appoint? ments made to fill places; made:vacant by the removal of Republicans' before their four years' term expire, does not meet with general approval. Still less popular is bis reported scheme to have the most important officers whose terms expire in the early part of Cleveland's administra? tion resign some time this Winter, and be re-appointed by the President. This de? vice, taken in connection with the other, would practically deprive Mr. Cleveland of the appointing power for all the more important' places outside of the depart? ments and the foreign missions. Presi? dent Arthnr, for one, is not likely to be a party to the latter part of the programme, and the majority of the Senate will un? doubtedly be disposed to leave to Presi? dent Cleveland the full responsibility of his appointments, only reserving the right to insist that men of proper charac? ter and capacity be selected. In such a contest as would -follow Mr. Cameron's reported plan, the President would be likely to come out ahead in the popular estimation^ It has Dot been the case for half a century that a President elected by the opposition has bad a Senate politi? cally opposed to him, so that practically the situation is a new one. The course to be determined upon by the majority of the Senate is decidedly delicate and will be the subject of endless discussiou in Republican circles this Winter. It will be finally decided iu a caucus to be held as soon aa the extra session is organized. President Arthur has authorized a friend to say that if any effort should be made to carry out the scheme, alleged to have been devised by Senator Don Cam? eron, to keep Republican officeholders iu power for four years after March 4 by means of re-appointments and the Tenure of Office Act, be (the President) would not be a party to any such scheme. He iudicated that he should not make any appointments to office before the expira? tion of his term except in case of va? cancy. The Great Turnout. Washington, Nov. 23.?Among the most interesting phases of the overthrow of the Republican administration are the revolutions to be made in the civil ser? vice of the United States. At no period in our history has there ever been so vast a change impending, owing to the number of Federal employes having in? creased enormously during the last few years. There are in round numbers 110, 000 persons in the employ of the govern? ment. Of these a large proportion are classed as laborers. There are about 50, 000 postmasters in the United States. Of these, the Postmaster General, acting with the advice of the President, appoints 'about 2,500 of the higher class, with sal? aries ranging from $10,000 to $1,500. All of the inferior postoffices are filled by the appointment of the first assistant Post? master General, who is thus the largest distributor of patronage in the govern? ment. The civil service law does not protect a single postmaster in the United States, but 5,699 postal employes are se? cured in their places during good beha? vior. ? These employes receive from $800 to $1,800 per annum. The next most numerous branch of the public service is the treasury department employes. Of these 2,573 are customs employes, re? ceiving from $900 to .$1,800 per annum, who are protected by the civil service law, which also protects 5,652 employees scattered in all the departments. Thus there are about 96,000 persons subject to removal in a change of administration (more than half of which are postmas? ters), which the Democrats, if so mind? ed, may dispose of. It is however ex? treme'" unlikely that there will be any wholesale removal of these people. The mere inertia of such a mass makes it hard to move, and even if a political guillotine were set tip, which is improba? ble, if Would be three' or four years before the change would be complete: The bureau of pricing and engraving, which employs skilled workmen, is exempt from the operation of the civil service law. It has about 2,500 employes. A move? ment has been on foot for tome time to have the government printing, including bank -notes,* done by contract. If this should be carried out, these people would all be discharged, but of course no Dem-. ocrats wonld be appointed in their Elaces as the bureau would cease to exist. !ut in the higher officers there will nec? essarily be Radical changes. Besides the beads of departments who would go, the chiefs of divisions' and all offices whose salaries are over $1,800 would probably have their heads demanded on a charger, during; the next year. A Strange Epidemic. . ' Lynchbubg, Nov. 20,15<8i<?Lee and Dickinson counties, .in Virginia, and. Harold, Lee and the adjoining counties in Kentucky, are suffering from a new and fatal disease. Owing to the isolated Eosition of jthe district. particulars .' are ard to obtain. Hundreds are said to have' ;died,' and, allowing for,exaggeration, it. can.be affirmed that the mortality is large. Postal Clerk Wells, who has just arrived .from that section after- having .bad the' disease, gives a sad account of the epi? demic. He attributes, it to a mineral poison in the drought dried waters, and says, a strong aad disagreeable mineral taste, like that.of copperas, exists... At the time he left few springs were flowing freely, and.the people were compelled to drink the impregnated water. \ ,. Although the name of the disease is Unknown, the people call it cholera, and were it. so it would not be more dreaded or disastrous. The symptoms are ^de? scribed as similar to those of Asiatic cholera, followed by terrible hemorrhages of the bowels, and those attacked either die or recover in about a week. It is fre? quently fatal in twenty-four hours, and sometimes even in a much shorter period. In most instances it visits an entire fami? ly, and it. is considered so contagious that in some, cases persons-die alone, their friends being afraid to go to them. There are no figures representing the actual mortality, but it is estimated that over three hundred have perished in the Virginia counties named, and consider? ing the sparse population and the num? ber taken, the percentage is large. At the .late election the number of deaths considerably affected the majorities at the various precincts, and thirty new graves were counted Jn a small cemetery. As one resnlt the people are demoralized and. local business interests suffer. A like scourge visited this section in 1854. The country, which is extremely moun? tainous, is of high elevation above the level of the sea. Cattle are also dying in the same Bection. General rains have fallen in this State for two days past, and it is probable that the. drought in tbe in? fected region is now ended. Gorham Grumbles. Washington, November 20.?Geo. C. Gorham has written the following letter from New York to the National Republi can of this city, expressing his views on tbe defeat of Mr. .Blaine : "The South was made solid by Blaine's defeat of the force bill in 1875 and Hayes's subversion of tbe Governments of South Carolina and Louisiana in 1877. The South thus made solid was broken in 1881 by tbe Mabone coalition in Virginia despite Blaine's opposition. He summoned all his resources, includ? ing his newspaper organs to drive Ma hone and his followers away from tbe Republican party, aud to restore the Solid South by forcing Virginia back into the Democratic fold. After failing in this work in 1882, he finally succeeded in 1883. This year he was quite willing to have Mahooe succeed, but tbe wounds he had inflicted proved to be mortal. "As Blaine omitted these interesting facts from his speech on the Solid Soutb, delivered at Augusta last night, I ask space for this mention of them in the newspaper in which I have so often stated them before. If Blaine had been opposed to the Solid South even a year sooner Virginia would not have been remanded to her previous condition last year, and would undoubtedly have been joined by North Carolina. The twenty three electoral votes of these two States added to the 182 he received would have gi7eu him 205, just four more than enough without New York. Blaine's reason for opposing Mabone, as stated by him to one of his leading friends, in 1881, was that he was not going to build up "certain Republicans, whom he named." As it turns out be was building up Grover Cleveland and the Democratic party, all of which shows that a ship cannot be scuttled and sunk for the purpose of drowning a portion of the crew without wetting the others." Cost of the Campaign. New Yokk, November 20.?Messrs. Barn um and Smalley, of the Democratic National Committee, were together at an up-town hotel to-day. They were audit? ing a limited number of bills yet remain? ing and closing up other matters of busi? ness incident to the campaign just closed. The total amount of money received by tbe Democratic National Committee was $333,000, and of this sura $52,000 was re? ceived through tbe popular campaign fund in amounts of less tban $500. The National headquarters will be entirely vacated to morrow. ? The Supreme Court of Indiana re? cently rendered a decision in a divorce case in these words: "You voluntarily cbo?e a drunkard for a husband, and you should discharge the duties of a druuk ard's wife. His failure to keep a pledge of reformation made before carriage does not justify you iu deserting him. Having knowingly married a drunkard, you must make yourself contentwith the B3cred relationship." Tltc Re-Election of Senator Brown. The records of Georgia do not match the compliment paid by the Legislature to Senator Joseph E. Brown on yesterday. Senator Gordon was re elected with prac? tically no opposition, but there were a half-dozen votes cast against him. Sena? tor Brown carried the Senate without the loss of a vote, aud the House with only two voles cast against him. This was nearer unanimous than any Georgia as? sembly ever voted on a senatorial election ?nearer, perhaps, than it ever will. The spectator of yesterday's quiet and peaceful triumph, could not have failed to recall the stormy scenes, through which Senator Brown weut a decade and a half ago, when he was opposed and de? nounced. His views were rejected by au overwhelming majority of the people, and from one end of the State to the other be was met with denunciation. Even ten years after all this occurred, his appoint? ment to the Senate was a signal for indig? nation meetings at several points in the State. In bis last election, after he had displayed wonderful aptitude in the Sen? ate, a terrific fight was made on his elec? tion. This has now wilted away, and the representatives of all sections and all parties unite in tendering him an almost unanimous ovation. The sharp contrasts against which yesterday's triumph is laid, 'but deepens its meaning and intensifies the gratification it carries. The Constitution's views as to Senator Brown are understood of all men. We approved his appointment?advocated his indorsement by the legislature?and urged his re-election. We congratulate the State that this has been brought about. Senator Brown's wise counsels and wiser leadership have been of high value to bis party, even when it was in the minority. Now that it has carried the country, and becomes responsible for administration, he will simply be invalu? able on the floor of the Senate. His election is a compliment?his defeat would have been a calamity. We note that his name is being discussed freely in connection with President Cleveland's Cabinet. We do- not think he will be tempted to listjn to the suggestion of such a change. In dignity and honor and usefulness, we hold the senatorship of a guat State, such as Georgia, to be the equal of any office in the Govern? ment. Especially is Senator Brown fitted for senatorial service, and he will hold his place in the Senate undisputed as long as he has the strength to attend its sessions.?Atlanta Constitution. i ? A Chicago man wanted a divorce because his wife persisted in singing hymns. The Court laughed at bim, anc he would have, lost his case had not the lawyer summoned the wife to the witness stand and started her singing. At the fifth verse the Court threw up the- sponge and the divorce was granted. The greater longevity of women as. compared to men appears to be well borne out by the statistics of every; country that have.yet been examined. This shows ihn*; after all, it is not tight Iresses, heavy skirts and thin shoes that kill. It is paying for them.?Philadel? phia Call. ? Hpu. J. R. Tucker, who was re elected to Congress from the tenth dis? trict of Virginia by the Democrats, has been appointed guardian for the minor children of the late -esident Garfield. His trust includes all property owned by Gen. Garfield in Virginia. Mrs. Gar field, in making the request for his ap? pointment, referred to the kindly rela? tions which had existed between Mr. Tucker and her late husband. ? A rifle bullet fired at Gettysburg has I just made its appearance in a rather re? markable way. Henry Southern, of this County, who lives a short distance from the city, was an active participant in the memorable conflict. He received [severe wound in the neck. He finally recovered but failed to secure the bullet which inflicted the injury. Recently Mr. Southern baa been annoyed by a pain in his neck near the collar bone. Suspect? ing that the ball was the cause of the trouble, be determined to secure the ser? vices of a physician in order that the missile might be extracted if possible. He sent for Dr. Wallace who soon saw that tbe long imprisoned lead could be released successfully with a little care. The other day Dr. Wallace in company with Dr. Wright called upon Mr. South? ern, and after considerable effort extract? ed a large sized rifle ball from beneath tbe collar bone. The operation is quite an extraordinary one and relieves Mr. Southern of a very unpleasant compan? ion. The bullet is not at all disfigured I and looks as new as it was on the day it | was discharged in the decisive struggle. ?Greenville News. SCROFULA. Areauy members of your family thus afflicted?
