NoWtiiat the Election \l over, you might stroll In any part of the
city, questioning every one yBu met, and still not find a man who votid
against the successful oandidates, excepting some few who have a re-
gard for the trlMM.
Why will men prevaricate ihusly ? Surely nothing is gained by
it. Each man voted for his friend, but semebody'e friend wae bound to
be defeated, since all could not be elected to fill the eame office.

The Democratic state convention
of Georgia will meet on Tuesday
next (10th), to nominate a candidate
for governor. James 8. Boynton,
acting governor, and A. O. Bacon,
ex-speaker ot the bouse of repre-
sentatives, are most prominent, but
a number of better men are being
urged, and even a dark horse may
win the raco.
Judos W. G. Grcsham of Indiana,
has been appointed postmaster gen-
eral to sncceed the late Timothy O.
Howe. Grosham was a federal
brigadier during tho late unpleasant-
ness, and was made a United States
district Judge by Grant in 1874.
Without being exceptionally bril-
liant, there is no doubt that he is
possessed of qualities calculated to
make a good cabinet officer.
The little town of Athens, down
on tho narrow gauge in Henderson
county, is in a deplorable dilemma.
The municipal election there on
Tuosday gavo the town a veritable
black eye, and tho trouble now is in
tho application of a healing remedy.
A dispatch says the excitemont ran
high and that about noon the c'.e
ments opposed to tho corporation in
general, that is opposed to chartered
municipal government, sprung
ticket of negroes and worked it
through as follows: Lewis Beneon
(colored), for mayor, 20 majority
over M. Ev .Richardson (white); for
city attorney, Jerry Murcbison
(colorcd), 8 majority over J. J.
Faulk )white); lor marshal, Jack Mo-
Gruder (colored), 28 majr rity over
J. A. Faulk (white). It seems the
colored troops made a less formid-
able fight for aldormanic honors, os
a white man was elected in each of
the five wards. It is stated, how-
ever, that tbey will decline to qual
ify, and thus allow tho corporation
to go by the board.

AN EDITOR ON HIS METAL,
Legislator Chenowetb evidently
rockoned without hie host when ho
made infamous charges against John
Cardwell, editor of the Statesman, in
the hottso of representatives. It ie
said that Chenoweth thought that be
could make the assertion and de-
nounce the editor with impunity,
supposing him to be a non-oombat-
ant, qr, in plaider English, afraid to
fight. The following card from Card-
well shows fight, however, and Mr.
Chenoweth must either go through
the ordeal of battle or submit to the
compromising processes of a board
of honor* Cardwell makes this pub-
lication:
"To the Publlet
"On tbe 26th of March, 1888* J.
Q. Chenowetb, being a momber of
tbe legislature, from his seat in the
lower house thereof, usually de-
nounced me in infkmous terms, and
now he having had timo for reflec-
tion, and having through me bad
his attentfon called to the matter
that he roicbt correct bis wrong, and
having faded to avatl himself to do
justice, I now and here denounce
him as a deliberate liar, and furthor
as u coward in uttering a lie in a
I
lace wherein by law he oould not
e bailed to personal account.
(Signed) John Cardwell."
The feorrespondent of tho Dallas
Herald, night before last, telegraphed
that i aper as follows:
In the difficulty between the above
gentleman-, it appears that, since
ChenowettrB denunciatory speech,
some correspondence has been going
on between tbe pastiest Cardwell
wrote Cbenowoth that his charges
were baceleas, asking th&t ho recdn-
sidor his words; ChenOWeth re-
plied that he bad friends who would
substantiate all he had said on the
floor of the house, Cardwell re-
sponded that ho know only Cheno-
woth in the mattor, and that ho held
him only to personal responsibility.
It is rumored this evening that Card-
well has beon challenged to fight
somewhere in Mexico, but it cannot
be traced to a reliable sourco. It is
hoped by frionds of both parties that
it will bo tatrnfactoriiy and peace
ably settled. No man who knows
Colonel Cardwell doubts that he is
honorablo in cvory sense of the
word, and would stoop to nothing
dishonorable. Representative Cheno-
weth, too, is distinguished for his
honesty of purpose and conscien-
tious adberance to that which he
thinks just and honorable. Tho dif-
ficulty, prompted by the cxcitemont
of tho motaent) in deeply regretted
by all bore, and all unite in the hope
that it may bo amicably adjusted.
This morning's dispatch in tho
Guzetto states that tbo correspon-
dence has been made public, and that
tho beligerents squarely antagonize
each other, and firmly adhere to
their respective charges fltnd denun-
ciations. Thus tho oountry has the
opinion ot a loading member of tbe
houso that the editor in chief of tho
great morning daily paper, pub-
lished at tho capitol, is a bribo-takor
and a very bad man in other respocts,
and tho opinion of tho editor that
the leading momber of tbe house is a
liar and coward. This is clearly
fighting issue, and as it is understood
that both gentlmon rocognizo and
respoct the code duello it is difficult
to see just how a board of honor
can adjust tho affhir without an ex-
change of shots. Each has cofrtttinly
considered and acted upon tho very
points that would bo submitted, And
each has deliberately repeated, re-
affirmed and reemphasizod tbo offense
in form and substanoo. The status
of tho imbroglio tts profontcd by tho
dispatchos clearly prooludes "honor-
able and amicablo adjustment" with-
out a mooting, and as tho respective
friends of the two gentlemen claim
for each a sufficient amount of manly
pride and physical courage to face
the music, an exchange ot shots may
reasonably bo expoctod.
