GEORGIA NEWS, The Gush of Captain Jenks. - Some Southern companies are very foolishly profering their services to the Govern Government - ment Government to avenge Cueter. Some few in Georgia have perpetrated similar gush. Have brave warriors reflected that the United States have 6,600 regular troops in the South who are doing nothing,and for which in this section there is no earthly use? - Columbus Enquirer. True ! If they were of any earthly use hundreds of poor negroe's lives would have been saved. Colored Georgian at West Point. - Speaking of the West Point Cadets dur during - ing during their late visit to the Centennial, the Philadelphia Times says : One of the first class men is Mr. Flipper of Georgia, a young colored man. "We don't have anything to do with him off duty," said one of the Cadets yesterday. "We don't even speak to him. Of course we have to eat with him, and drill with him, and go on guard with him but that ends it. Outside of duty, we don't know' him." "Is he intelligent?" "Yes; he stands high in his class, and I see no reason to doubt that he will graduate next June. He has the negro features strongly de developed, - veloped, developed, but in color he is rather light." It is a pity that your whole race did not have lefts to do with the negro, and then this young colored Cadet with whom you "don't have anything to do with when off duty," would not have been in color so light. The Philadelphia correspondent of that sterling Republican paper the Am American - erican American Citizen, Lexington, Ky., speaks of the modest young editor of this pa paper - per paper as the handsome gentleman of the quill. Hear him : In strolling around the city the other night, in company with that handsome "gentleman of the quill," John H. De Deveaux, - veaux, Deveaux, ot the Savannah, Ga., Tribune, he exclaimed, as the letters became visi visible - ble visible in the moonlight: " The grave of Benjamin Franklin." A simple, plain slab marks the resting place of the great dead; and long.we lingered there think thinking - ing thinking of the part that Franklin had play played - ed played in the drama of American freedom. The next day we visited old Independ Independence - ence Independence Hall, and beheld the table upon which the Declaration of Independence was signed ; the chair in which John Hancock sat, the old liberty bell, &c.

Hayes and Wheeler Clubs. - Let Hayes and Wheeler Clubs be at once formed throughout the State. The for formation - mation formation of a Campaign Club consists of a verv simple process. All that is ne necessary - cessary necessary is tor a few Republicans to get together - the more the better - and elect a true and tried Republican for President, and another equally true and tried one as a Secretary; but the Secre Secretary - tary Secretary should be a man of fair education and expert with the pen, to have all the names of the members of the club as well as all the Republican voters in the district or ward recorded in a book kept for the purpose. A political club of this kind does not imply weekly or even bi biweekly - weekly biweekly meetings, but it does imply one or two or perhaps three or four meetings of the members during the campaign. Atlanta Republican. V- We heartily endorse the above. What say the Republicans of this district 2 Let clubs be organized at once; it^p time for action. "Eternal vigilance- ijr the price ot liberty." 4 7 A correspondent of the Atlanta Re Republican - publican Republican writes to that paper the follow following - ing following fact and we republish them to show up the mean cowardly cur, who edits the Oglethrope Echo. The letter is dated Oglethrope, Ga., July 2d, 1876:

on the evening of the 4th. Perhaps in their sober second thought they may not be quite so strongly in favor of cor corruption - ruption corruption and social equality. As it was so late in the evening of the great cen centennial, - tennial, centennial, and the whisky is rather bad in that beat, we will give a chance for "re "reform" - form" "reform" and repentance for this time, but we want it distinctly understood that the long-haired men who seek to arouse the worst passions of those they call their wooly-head brethren, and to use them for their own selfish purposes, will be held up to the public in their true light. We do not propose to mince matters in handling them hereafter if they continue the same course. You do not propose to mince matters, eh? W r hat do we understand by that? It is time to stop this foolishness; do you know that ? and the Republicans of Thomas county must see to it, the views of the man who writes for the Enter Enterprise - prise Enterprise to the contrary notwithstanding.

not able to leave her bed. And thus is it. P. S. - Since writing the above I have ascertained that she was sick in bed when attacked and beaten by him, and when she attempted to rise was knocked again, and finally beat so that her life is despaired of. The husband of the in injured - jured injured went to see said Gantt in as hum humble - ble humble a way as possible, whereupon he drew his pistol and told him: "Yes, you G - d d n s - n of a b- - h, I beat her, and you just crookiyour finger, and I'll blow your damned brains out." The editor of the Valdosta Times apologizes for the scarcity of matter in his paper this week, from the fact of having sprained his right hand on the 4th July. Well, Captain, you will not have the same opportunity for 100 years to come. We excuse you this time, but we expected that something of the kind would occur.

The nomination of Hayes, reduced to a single sentence, unites the Republican party. - He may, as he does, lack the magnectic qualities of Blaine, the ele elevated - vated elevated characteristics of Bristow, the strong points of Conklin; but he pos possesses - sesses possesses a negative strength,which, joined to an inoffensive private character, will go far to consolidate the Radical forces in every part of the country. He is ob obnoxious - noxious obnoxious to none of the cliques which have divided the Republican party. On the whole, therefore, he is a candidate not to be despised; a candidate who will require of us the best energies we have to put in the field; a candidate,in short, whom we shall have to confront with I our foremost leader. - -Louisville Courier 1 Journal.

We noticed many of the little girls at the colored Catholic school's exhibition the other night girted with sashes and streamers of a costly kind. Now, why can't those parents stop that nonsense and devote that money towards their children's education and the keeping up of the school ? Dress is nonsense; edu education - cation education the opposite - Key West Dispatch. We cannot agree with you in this. We do really like to see the young ladies neat and tidy; it makes them look so , you know. But then it is nec neccessary - cessary neccessary to have education too, to make them useful! and accomplished ladies in society.

At Crawford, in this county, during the forepart of this week, a colored wo woman, - man, woman, living in the same yard with T. L. Gantt's (editor of the Oglethrope Echo) wife, offended her, whereupon Gantt at attacked - tacked attacked this defenseless woman with a board and whipped her so that she is
