At the spring of an arch, in the great north
tower
High np on the wall, ia an angel's head.
With, coven beneath it, a lily flower,
And delicate wings at the side outspread.
They say that the sculptor wrought from
the face, '
From the shrouded face of hia promised
bride.
And when he had added the last sad grace
To the features, he dropped his chisel and
died.
And the worshippers throng to the shades
below, ,
And the sight seers come with their cu
rious eyes;
But deep in the shadow, where none may
know
Its beauty, the gem of its carving lies.
Yet at early morn of a midsummer day.
When the sun is far to the north, for the
space
Os a few short mi mites, there falls a ray.
Through an amber pane, on the angel’s
face.
It was wrought for the eye of God, and it
seems
That He blessed the work of the dead
man’s hand
With a gleam of the golden light that
streams
On the lo;J that are' fonnd in the death
less land.
A FAJICY.
The tide goes out and the tide comes in.
And gulls bang whitely abont the shore;
Onr ears grow used to the waters din.
And we heed the bird’s quaint flight no
more.
The roses bloom and the roses fade,
The green leaves wither and brown and
fall;
ITie brook from its old time conrsejha;.
strayed,
And what does it matter, after all ?
We gather mo3B from the rolling waves,
Or pluck a rose that is red and rare;
While their comrades sink into nameless
graves,
W« lay these by with a careless care.
And so with friends that are dear and true -
We love them, ay with a love-like flame;
But when they pass from our daily view,
’Tin near—ah, me !is it quite?—the same.
We put the thought of their love away—
A picture, flower, a ring, a book;
We breathe a prayer that they used to pray,
And shrine in onr hearts a tender look.
But redder roses shall come with Spring,
Sweeter and larger than these by far;
And new, bright mosses the waves will
bring,
A fresh face shine for onr beacon star.
So what does it 'count that the sun goes
down.
That wavep roll out, and the roses fall,
That eyelids close over smile or frown V
Ay ! what does it ’connt ns, after all ?

[Written after visiting an asylum among
whose inmates was a middle-aged woman
whose lover had perished at sea ten years
before. A ring, a letter and a lock of
hair were treasures of his memory. The

when the writer saw her. In the vagaries

A little thiug

A braid.
A letter, old
And worn
With frequent fold,
And torn.
How oft she cried

Ah ! me—
Died? Dead! Oh, God !
Not dead!
Beneath the sod,
They said!
"No, no, I’ll not

Appointed To the Clerkship of the Spe.
rial Committee tin Woman Suffrage.
(Special to New York World.)
Dr. Mary Walker has secured an appoint
ment as Clerk of the Special Committee on
Woman Suffrage, of which Senator Laphatn
is Chairman. The appointment was brought
abont through a series of diplomatic tactics,
to whioh the strong-minded will be likely
hereafter to "point with pride" as demon
strating the superiority of the female intel
lect in matters of finesse. Dr. Mary is an
old stager at the Capitol. Her diminntile
figure, in a long frock coat and other habili
ments affected by gross manhood, may
be seen almost any day in the lob
bies. She goes about usually bare
headed, carrying a shining silk hat
in her hand," anil over her arm a light
overcoat, Cutely it has been understood
that she aspired to a committee clerkship,
and the clerkship of the new Suffrage Com
mittee has been mentioned in connection
with her aspirations, presumably chiefiy
because of the boom that civil service re
form would get by such an appointment.
This eonsideration’of reform was evidently
not lost npon Senator Lapham, who pro
ceeded to make application thereof to Dr.
Mary’s case, when she sought the appoint
ment, by suggesting that she should submit
herself to a change of attire. The subject
was necessarily approached with wariness
and tact, and when logic was needed to en
force his position lie reminded her that, in
his judgment, her figure would show to
better advantage if she would discard panta
loons and substitute a skirt. She is credited
with having met this intimation with the
reply that the aesthetic Senator had prob
able been deceived by mere outward ap
pearance, hut that he could discover upon
dose inspection that she had fewer physi
cal angularities than he supposed. She ex
pressed herself willing, however, to gratify
his taste for shapeliness, should he desire
it, by filling out her pantloons to agreeable
proportions with a small cargo of cotton
wadding. The clash of intellect seems to
have been suspended at this juncture,
doubtless to be resumed later on, pending
which Dr. Marv is to draw the clerkship
peT diem of fG. HeT admirers regard the
concession of an appointment as virtually a
retreat by the Senator, from which they are
confident he will not venture to rally.
Sail Death.
News was received in the city of the sud
den death of Mrs. Alfred Aldrich, which
occurred in BarrfVell. yesterday morning.
To sav that such intelligence brought a
shock to the hearts of her friends and rela
tions would but half convey the truth.
About one vear ago this estimable young
lady, then Miss Zaidoe Martin, was married
to Mr. Aldrich, of Barnwell, and left Au
gusta, where her friends were numerous
and admiring, for her new home. She was.
in manv respects, a remarkable lady. Hand
some in person and with a most striking
presence, her character was equally one of
beauty strengthened by dignity. She was
gifted* with a mind of singular clearness
and depth, and added a wealth of sparkling
intelligence to an intellect well trained
and widely informed. She was a gen
uine favorite among her friends in Au
gusta. who can scarce think of her hut in
life and beauty, as when she was here only
a short time ago. How untimely, her
family may well exclaim in their riftless
sorrow, is snob a death! and yet the same
destroyer which pales her brow and chills
her breath with ice. bring ont in more en
tnarbled and enduring beauty the virtues
of a life which cluster aronnd her memory
like flowers about her bier. How untimely,
cry her friends, is such a death 1 and yet
that life had been ennobled by the purest
love known ;n this world, and that career
had been crowned with the highest glory
of womanhood.
Mrs Aldrich was the sister of Mrs. Leonard
Phinixy, of this city, to whom, with her
mother and husband, Mr. Alfred Aldrich,
the strongest sympathies of friends go out.
The remains of Mrs. Aldrich wilt be in
tered to-day at the family burial grounds at
Irwinton, across the river, in Carolina.
(itraia. Carp.
The German carp, the valuable food-fish
recently introduced to this country, is mak
ing its way to all parts of it with great ra
pidity. Mr. Abel Wright, who began with
two or three dozens of the carp three years
ago, thinks that he now has at least a mil
lion in his pond at Gridin, Ga. He has sold
more than five thousand at twenty dollars a
hundred, and cannot keep np with his or
ders. He bears out Mr. Seth Green's state
ment that one can almost see the carp grow,
so rapidly does it increase in sire. Mr.
Green asserts that an acre of water can be
made as profitable as an acre of land, and
it does not cost much to make the experi
ment.

BLAINE AND ARTHUR.
gHUIPLKTTKR Off AUAffDOff NKNT OF
AMERICA* COSOREIS PROPOSAL.
Why should The United Stales Consult
European Monarrhlee In Dealing With
American Republics*
Washisotos, February 3.—The following
letter was sent to President Arthur to-day
by ex-Secretary Blaine :
Washington, D. C., February 3.
To the President of the United States:
The suggestion of a Congress! of all the
American Nations, to assemble in the City
of Washington for the purpose of agreeing
| on such a basis of arbitration for inter
national troubles as would remove all possi
bilitv of war on the Western Hemisphere,
was warmly approved by your predecessor.
The assassination of July 2 prevented his
issuing the invitations to the American
States. After jour accession to the Presi
| dency I acquainted you with the project
j a nd submitted to you a draft for such an
! invitation. Von roceivcd the suggestion
! w ith the most appreciative consideration
'and, after carefully examining the form of
the invitation, directed that it be sent. It
was accordingly dispatched in November
to the independent government,of America,
North and South, including all, from the
Empire of Brazil to the smallest Republic.
In a communication addressed to the
present Secretary of State, on the 9th of
last month to Mr. Trescot, and recently
sent to the Senate, I was greatly surprised
to find a proposition looking to the
annulment of the invitations, and I was
still more surprised when I read the
reasons assigned. I quote Mr. Freling- j
huysen’s language ; "The United States is |
at ’peaee with all the Nations of the earth, j
and the President wishts, hereafter, to de
termine whether it will conduce to that I
general peace, which he would cherish and
promote, for this Government to enter into
negotiations and consultation for the pro
motion of peace with selected friendly
nationalities without extending a like con
fidence to other peoples with whom the
United States is on equally friendly terms.
If such partial confidence would create
jealousy and ill-will, peace, ttffe object
fought by such consultation, would not
be promoted. The principles controlling
the relations of the Republics of this Hem
isphere with other nationalities may, on
investigation, be found to be so well estab- ;
fished that little would be gained at this i
time by reopening a subject which is not
novel.”
If I correctly apprehend the meaning of
these words, it is that we might offend some
European powers if we should hold in the
United States a Congress of the "selected
nationalities” of America. This is certainly
a new position for the United States to
assume and one which I earnestly beg you
will not permit this Government to occupy.
The European powers assemble in Congress
whenever an object seems to them of suffi
cient importance to justify it. I have never j
heard of their consulting the Government I
of the United States in regard to the pro- j
priety of their so assembling, nor have I
ever known of their inviting an American ;
representative to bo present. Nor would j
thero, in my judgment, be any good reason
for their so doing.
Two Presidents of the United-States in
the year 1881 adjudged it to be expedient
thot the American powers should meet in
Congress for the solo purpose of agreeing
upon some basis for the arbitration of differ
ences that may arise between-them and for
the prevention, as far as possible, of war in
the future. If that movement is now to be
arrested for fear that it may give offense in
Europe, the voluntary humiliatian pf this
Government could not be more complete
unless we should petition the European
Government* for the privilege of holding
the Congress.
I cannot conceive how the United States
could be placed in a less enviable position
than would be secured by sending in No
vember a cordial invitation to all the Ameri
can Governments to meet in Washington
| for the sole purpose of concerting meas
ures of peace, and in January recalling the
invitation, for fear that it might create
"jealousy and ill-will” on the part of mon
archical governments in Europe. It would
be difficult to devise a more effective mode
for making enemies at the American Gov
ernments, nnd it would certainly not add to
our prestage in the European world.
Nor can I see, Mr. President, how Euro
pean Governments should feel jealousy and
ill-will toward* the United States because
of an effort on our part to assure lasting
peace between the Nation* of America, un
ices, indeed, it be the interest of European
powers that Amertcan Nations should j)t in
terval. fall into war, and bring reproach on
Republican Government. Bat from that
very circumstance I see an additional and
powerful motive for the American Govern
ments to bo at peaee »mong themselves.
The United States is indeed at peace with
all the world, as Mr. Frelioghuyaon well
says, hut there are nnd have been senoua
troubles between other American Nations.
Pern, Chili and Bolivia have been for more
than two years engaged in a desperate
conflict. It was the fortunate intervention
o i the United States last Spring thut avert
ed war between Chili and the Argentine
Republic. Guatemala is at this moment
asking the United States to interpose its
good offices with Mexico to keep off war.
These important f*»ta were all communica
teu in your late message to Congress.-
It is" the existence or the menape of these
wars that influenced President Garfield, and
as I supposed influenced yonrself. to desire
a friendly conference of all the Nations of
An:erica, to devise methods of permanent
peace 1 and consequent prosperity for all.
Shall the United State* now turn back,
hold aloof and refnse to otmrj its great
normal power for the advantage sf its
weaker neighbors?
If you have not formnlly and finally re
called the invitation* to the Peace Congress,
Mr. President, I beg you to consider well
the effect of so doing. The iuir Ration was
not mine. It was yours. I performed onlj
the part of the Secretary to advise and to j
draft. Yon *poke in the name of the United
States to each <»l the Independent Nations
of America. To revoke that invitation for
any cause would be embarrassing; to revoke
it for the avowed fear ot “jealonsy and ill
will” oil the part of European powejs would
appeal as little to American pride as to
American hopitality. Those yon have in
vited may decline, and haying now cause
to doubt their welcome, will, perhaps, do
so. This would break up the Congress, but
it would not touch our dignity.
Beyond the philanthropic ami Christian
ends to be obtained by an American con
ference devoted to peßce and good-will
among men, we might well hope for ma
terial advantages as the result of a better
understanding and closer friendship with
the Nations of America. At present the
condition of trade between the United
States nnd its American neighbors is un
satisfactory to us and oven deplorable.—
According to the official statistics of onr
own Treasury Department. balance i
against ns in that trade last yea* sk .
$130,000,000, a sum greater than the'
yearly product of all the gold and silver !
mines in the United States. This vast j
balance was paid n» in foreign exchange,
and a very large proportion of it went to ,
England, where shipments of eotton, pro- j
visions aud breadstuff’s supplied the money. j
If anything con'd change or check the |
balance in our favor in European trade |
onr commercial exchanges with Spanish
America would drain us of onr reserve of
gold coin at a rate exceeding §100,000,-1
000 per annum, and would probably pre
cipitate a suspension of specie payment in ,
this eountrv. Such a result at home might
be worse than a liitia "jealousy and ill
will" abroad.
I do not say, Mr. President, that the
holding of a Peace Congress will necessarily
change the currents of trade, but it will
bring ns iuto kindly relations with all the
American Nations; it wili promote the reign
of pence and law and order; it tejjl increase
production and consumption, and will stim
ulate the demand for articles which Ameri
can manufacturers can furnish with profit
It will at all events be a friendly and auspi
cious beginning in the direction of Ameri
can influence and American trade in a large
field which we have hitherto greatly neg
lected. and which has been practically mon
opolized by our commercial rivals in Eu
rope.
As Mr. Frelioghuysen s dispatch, fore
shadowing the abandonment of the Peace
Congress, has been mad.- public by your
direction, I deem it a matter of propriety
and justice to give this letter to the pres*.
I am. Mr. President, with greafcpespect.
your obedient servant. James G. hEainv.
MR, BLAINE'S POLICY.
Belief That Hr I* Btlag Sustained tiy the
American People—What Gath Has to
Say of It. ——
WAsaisoTON, February 2.—The more
familiar the American people become with
this idea the more popular, he remarked,
will Mr. Blaine and his policy be. He is
sagacious enough to make the most of it.
I heard, be added, a leading Western Dem
ocrat say a few days ago that retirement
from public life would give a death blow to
Mr. Blaine's prospect* with his party, and
yet be is anything, in my judgment, bnt a
shelved politician. It is true he is out of
Congress, but what could he gain by being
in either House And further, how could
it help him as a Presidential candidate to
be in office under President Arthur ? As
he walked off the Senator said : "Ton
watch this South American question and
see if Blaine does not make more out of it
than his enemies, even tuough they do
charge him with having given assistance to
ac American having a claim against Peru.”
Sew Tom, February 2.— 1 was talking
yesterday with a gentleman connected with
the Pennsylvania Bail read Company, who
said, among other things : " Mr. Blaine
will make himself a great deal happier if
he pats aside forever the idea of the Presi
dency. In Pennsylvania, where he was bora,
I have a good opportunity to observe public
opinion : and, while he his friends there,
they are not of the class which concludes
opinion. I will not say that he is not
trusted, bnt that he is not considered safe.
That is the reason that Gmnt, with all his
errors, retained a certain amount of confi
dence among the steady class-s. He was
just dull enough to be safe, and Blaine is
thought to be too bright to be steady.”
In the mean time, the antagonizing of
Blaine's position by Frelinghuysen causes
another breaking out of the quarrel between
Blaine and the whole Stalwart side. In
Washington circles, and, as far as I can
hear from current American opinion, Mr.
Blaine's position is sustained. Among the
timid, shopkeeping folks, the importing
merchants, and that numerous class having
no patriotism, the ridiculous attitude of the
country in having one policy under one
CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15. 1883.
Secretary and another policy under his
immediate successor meets with no indig
nation. Blaine, however, has a good deal
of ground yet to cover before he can make
a National party to support himself, how
ever many Democrats may adopt his views.
RYAN’S INJURIES.
He Will Give Up Prise Fi.-toting—Sol In
Good Condition.
New Oei.eavs, February 7.—lmmediately
after the fight _ Ryan was visited in his
quarters by a well known physician, with
the intention of giving him medical assis
tance if any were needed. His pulse was
normal and his chief injuries consisted of a
welt on the left side ot the neck, where he
had been struck a terrible blow in the sec
ond round, and gashed lips and a cut on
the eye, together with considerable contu
sions about the body. After examination
the doctor gave as his opinion that Ryan
was suffering from hernia and must have
been in great pain during the fight. He
advised him to forsake the prize rin.g Rvan
said that he intended giving up pugilism,
as he did not think he was suited by nature
for that kind of business. He said he con
sidered Sullivan a bom prize fighter
and a very ormidable antagonist in
the ring. In regard to his defeat,
Ryan spoke very calmly admitting
that be had been fairly whipped, but at the
same time stating that he had been sick
during the night and was partially’ disabled
early in the action. He said he suffered
great paiD, and felt in no condition to fight.
But for the fact that people would have
considered him a coward he would not have
appeared in the ring under the circum
stances. Johnny Roche, Ryan's trainer,
and W. E. Harding, the representative of
his backer, said they considered the fight a
fair one, and had no complaint to make re-,
gafding the result. Fox lost 98,500. Be
tween one and two hundred thousand dol
lars is supposed to have changed hands on
the resnlt. The result to-day accorded with
the expectations of many keen observers of
the two men, who relied upon Sullivan’s
wonderful hitting powers and remarkable
skill as a two-handed fighter to win him the
battle. From the start he acted on the
offensive, attacking his opponent with a
violence amounting almost to ferocity,
breaking down Ryan’s guards with his ter
rific blows, and following up the attack by
cliaching and wrestling. There was appa
rently but little science displayed, the
rounds being short and sanguinary, ending
in a fall or knock down. This plan of at
tack could not have been carried out for
any great length of time, but Sullivan’s
friends relied for success upon his quick
work.
Sullivan and his friends took the excur
sion train and came to the city soon after
the fight. Ryan, Roche and Harding came
to the city to-night, and will leave for their
hemes to-morrow.
How They Fought.
First round—After some cautious spar
ring, ltyap struck with his right, but failed
to score, but in getting away received a
stinging blow on his cheek from Sullivan’s
lett fist. Sullivan followed with rapid
blows, and Ryan scored twice, but each
time the blows were light aud had no effect
on the saDguine countenance of his oppo
nent. After several half-arm blows Sulli
van floored Ryan by a terrific right-hand
blow on the right cheek. Time, 30 seconds.
Second round—Sullivan at once rushed
at his man and let go his left, which caught
Ryan heavily on the jaw. Ryan, however,
closed with him and they wrestled for a
fall, whieh Ryan won cleverly by a hip
lock. In falling Ryan threw his whole
weight on his opponent’s ribs. Time, 25
seconds.
Third round—The men came together
with a rush, and Sullivan, after making
three passes, knocked Ryan down with a
terrible right-hander on the chest. Time,
4 seconds.
Fourth round—Both men sparred for
breath, as the pace up to this time had
been very rapid. In a second or two Sulli
van went for Ryan’s face, putting in a
stinging blow square on his bpq,d before
they closed and pounded each other’s ribs
with sledge-hammer blows. This continued
until Ryan was forced into and on the
ropes, when he'went down to avoid pun
ishment, and the crowd yelled with excite
ment. Time of round, 20 seconds.
Fifth round—This was q repetition of the
fourth, as the men closed almost instantly
and rained blows on each other, the attacks
of both being confined to the face, Ryan
succeeded in bringing Sullivan to his knees
at the close by a blow under the right jaw.
Sixth round—Sullivan came up smiling,
but it was evident that Ryan was not only
suffering, but was somewhat afraid of his
fcntagflpjst. Sullivan lost no time in getting
to work. Ryan, however, closod, and by a
cross-buttoek threw hun on a knee god hand.
A foul was looked for, but, though Sullivan
had his hand raised to strike, he restratned
himself as Ryan rose. Both men were re
tjring to their corner, when the seconds
each cri,o,4> “Go for him 1” and the men re
sponding, again same together like enraged
bulls. They at once elmehsd, aud, after a
short struggle, both men went down with
out advantage to either. Thisjvns the most
exciting round of the battle.
Seventh round —This round was a short
on*. Tfw men closed. Half-arm striking
was the rule, the men bejng at close quar
tera. In a few seconds liy&u was knocked
completely off his feet, and fell in a heap
two yards away. Sullivaif came to his cor
per smiling, as Ryan did faintly when his
seeftfifla raised him to his feet.
p; gbth maud •- Jhe men, on call for time,
came up promptly. Ryga vya3 decidedly
weak, but he made a gallant struggle. Sul
livan fought him all over the ring and into
the umpire’s corner and over the ropes, but
in getting off the ropos he rallied, only to
be knocked down by a right-handed body
blow, Tfiis iyas a virtual end of the fight,
for Ryan was aen3glf:sg f hen carried to his
corner.
Ninth round—SulliVan was smiling when
time was called and fairly danced forward
to the centre of the ring. Ryan was weak
yff Jjis legs and staggered as his seconds
helped to advance. Once before his
opponent, newev-pr, his strength seemed to
revive and he attacked his antagonist with
a vigor that astonished evoiy one. Sullivan
stepped back a few feet and then delivered
a right-hand blow that took effect under
Eyan s Ipff pay, sending him senseless to the
earth. This eu4 e 4 the fight. f° r when time
was called Ryan did not yespond. The time
of the battle was 20 minute*.
How They Suffered,
Amjd the cheers of the crowd Sullivan
left the jflug almost unhurt and ran briskly
to the hotel. Bp lsid down for a while, a
little out of wind, but tkerp was not a scratch
on him. He chatted pleasantly with his
friends. Ryan was considerably disfigured
and was unable to speak for some time.
Stimulants were administered torevivo him,
and ha was carried to the hotel. The stakes
were drawn before 1 o’clock and a few min
utes later tho to\vn was almost deserted,
the excursion train having gone back to
New Orleans immediately after the fight.
THE KNOXVILLE ROAD.
AVliat Is Said and Thouetot Os the Pro
posed Sale—The Terms Os the Transfer
How About a Home Syndicate 1
The C«ROij&2j * continues to hear various
bits of information regarding the proposed
sale of the Augusta and Knoxville Railrpgd
to the South Carolina Railroad Company.
I n d ifferent places we have picked up dif
ferent pojnls of information, which we can
give without violating any particular con
fidence.
The city of Augusta proposes to turn
over its Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
stock to the Carolina Railroad Company for
tSO.OOO and interest; and as the road was
built principally by its bonds- there being
only about $13(5,000 worth of stock out
standing -the Carolina Bailroad will be re
quired to take §300,000 of the
bonds of the road. This, it is un
derstood. is the stickler in the con
tract, to the Carolinians. The road will
bind itself, should the contract be fulfilled,
not to build its branch between Aiken,
Trenton, Edgefield and Dorn’s Mines; will
use the depot at the upper end of Greene
street for freight—the Union Station for
passengers, and is to be allowed to run a
track down the river bank, along a dyke
which it is to construct and pot in
order, to connect with their road at the
bridge. This is only for through freight;
in none of their business are they to dis
criminate against Augusta; thev are to be
exempt from the tariff of the Street Bail
road Company: and are to devote $60,000
towasds scenting and constructing the Bine
Bidge route, as already explained by the
Ckbonicm.
In general conversation with merchants,
directors and oonueilnien, we find that the
project is losing favor.
Said a prominent merchant and manu
facturer yesterday : “I do not know that
we can draw any contract which may bind
them down against discrimination. Every
road running to Augusta is worked against
us. Freight to Trenton on many articles
over the C., C. a A. E. R. is as much as
tariff’on the same articles from Richmond
and Baltimore to Trenton. It costs as mnch
for Augusta to ship to Waynesboro, as it
does for Savannah, twice the distance, to
ship there. Since the Port Royal Railroad,
which was the only competitor the Cen
tral had, has been' bottled up, but lew
steamships touch at that port; the business
tho road does is only such as goes
there naturally without any effort ;
while tariff has been increased over
the road from 50 to ”5 per rent So
over the Georgia Railroad. Freights from
Augusta on nearly all stufl have been con
sitiersblv increased and when redress is
asked, the petitioner is referred to Savan
nah, where red tape dissatisfaction
alone result.
“The leasing of these roads, ’ continued
the merchant, “to the Central was the worst
dav’s work Augusta ever did. To pay the
10' per cent, dividends to the fjaorgia Rail
road stockholders, Mr. Wadley is taxing the
business of Augusta most heavily. |My
business alone has to pay $.,000 addi
tional, sad other firms are assessed in pro
portion. I see the papers are having much
to sav over Mr. Wadley. That he is an ad
mirable official for the Central Railroad and
for Savannah, I agree; bnt in all your eulo
gies you sun not truthfully write him down
as a friend to Augusta @nd its business."
“There are many ways," ha concluded,
“how a road may "discriminate against us,
and evade the letter of a written contract.
There are many things in which we cannot
anticipate them. So the best way is to keep
the road out of the hands of a corporation,
particularly when we do not know to whom
we are leasing it. We do not know, in
other words, what interests are behind
President Fisher."
It is a well aired rumor, as the Cheonicue
has heard for several days, that an Augusta
svndicate, composed of Messrs. 0. H.
Phinizy, T. P. Branch, T. G. Barrett and
others, would make good bids for the Au
gnsta and Knoxville; and that the Clyde
syndicate would like, also, to make a bid;
bnt it is not probable that any sale for
speculative, discriminative, or bottling pui
posea, will be effected.
A Home Syndicate.
The latteßt and best idea seems to be that
of organizing a home syndicate. To this
end a number of business men and capital
ists of this city have signified their willing
ness to raise enough money to buy np a
majority of the stock of the road, and to
contribute for securing to Augusta the
Savannah Valley connections. To. this
syndicate might be tnrned over the
road without the power of transfer;
:or at least without the power of
transferring to any interest which might be
| hostile to Augusta. Then the road would
be worked exclusively in the interest of the
city—for it is the most important—even
our sole—feeder left to the commerce of
this Sity.
Such an arrangement might be the more
i easily induced when the importance of the
j line, the possibility of its connections, the
! richness of its section and the small ex
pense of its construction—represented by
only $9,000 per mile—are duly considered.
Such a purchase would be the safest and
most lucrative of investments, and must be
of permanent advantage to the city.
CLOSING UP.
A Memphis Cigar Stand and a Missouri
Commission House Gone.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Memphis, February 9.—H. Esch, whole
sale and retail cigar dealer, assigned to-day.
Liabilities, $8,500.
St. Lons, February 9.—The commission
house of Harlow, Spencer & Co. suspended
to-day. They were carrying a large amount
of wheat for customers and had put up
some $50,000 margins for them, which had
not been reimbursed, and the break of yes
terday and to-day compelled them to sus
pend. They say their assets will more than
pay their liabilities, and they will resume
again in a few days, paying dollar for dol
lar. A. J. Harlow, founder of the firm,
withdrew from the house a few months ago
on account of poor health, and is now in
New Mexico.
New Orleans, February 9.— Ben Gerson
<fc Son, eotton factors, suspended payment
to-day, and at a meeting of their creditors
made a very satisfactory showing of their
condition and proposed to pay in full in
cue and two years with interest from date.
All present consented to the extension ask
ed and the firm will probably resume busi
ness;
New Yore, February 9. Win. R. Preston
<fc Son, corner of Pearl street and Counties
Slip, extensive operators in grain and cot
ton, and “long” in both articles, are report
ed to have suspeded to-day.
Moore’s Business College.
Elsewhere will be found a notice of
Moore’s Business College, Atlanta, Ga., of
which Prof. B. F. Moore is President.
Prominent among the features of the grow
ing city of Atlanta, stands, this Business
University, where young men are educated
and qualified to take their places in the
business or mercantile community. The
method of instruction at this institution
differs essentiallyjfrom that pursued at other
business: schools, inasmuch at that, here
the student goes by no book formula, but
is immediately placed, as it were, in busi
ness for himself, and made to assume all
the responsibilities of bis position. That
this is a good system, and one by which
the student is made to acquire a thoroughly
practical knowledge of everything relating
to business life, may be argued from the
fact that the system has been practiced for
several years and without a single exception
it has been found to accomplish for the
student all that could be desired. Many of
the prominent merchants of Georgia bear
unqualified evidence of the soundness and
entire practicability of the system, while
hundreds of the students educated at
Moore’s fill the most responsible positions
as book-keepers and clerks in many of the
leading houses in the South.

A TALK WITH THK ASSASSIN.
How He Spent Sunday In Ill* Cell—He
Wtahee It Understood That He If Not at
All Anxious—Trusting In the. Court In
Bane. —— '
Washington, February G.—Guiteau’s only
visitors yesterday were his brother and a
correspondent, the heavy snow that had
fallen during the past twenty-four hours
having deterred even curiosity hunters
from venturing to take the long trip across
the commons leading to the j ill. The pris
oner was found perfectly composed. fLe
said that he had enjoyed a refreshing sleep,
besides eating two meals and was hungry
for the third. His food is prepared for him
by a cook detailed for the purpose, who
carries it into his cell, thus preventing any
third party’s interference. Warden Crocker
announces his intention of keeping the
strictest watch and guard over the prisoner
to prevent any attempts at suicide, although
this idea is scoffed at by the guards at the
jail.
Guiteau was one of the first prisoners up
this morning and busied himself in tidying
up his cell,, which is the same one he has
occupied since he was shot at by Sergeant
Mason. When he arose from his cot to re
ceive his visitors, no one who was not
aware of his condition would for one in
stant have thought him a man under sen
tence of death, for his manner was gay and
careless and he smiled broadly as a refer
ence was made by his brother to his not
having dressed himself, as has been his cus
tom for several Sundays, in his best attire
and white shirt.
“I don’t suppose it makes much differ
ence how I look now,” was his reply; “I
have weightier matters to think of ‘than
dress.”
After he was told of Mr. Scoville’s trip to
New York he seemed perplexed for a mo
ment and questioned his brother very close
ly as to what was sought to be accomplish
ed by such a move. W'hen John Guiteau
said that pressing business and personal af
fairs required the trip, the prisoner angrily
exclaimed :
‘‘l don’t think he ought to allow any busi
ness whatever to interfere with my case and
he had better devote his time exclusively to
me till after the hearing before the Court in
banc." In eating his meals Guiteau is not
allowed to have a knife or fork. The assas
sin is now confined in the small cell to
which he was removed shortly after he was
fired at by Sergeant Mason, but owing to
the manner in which this cell was bricked up
to render it bullet-proof, the ventilation has
been cut off to such an extent as to render
it unadvisable that the prisoner should
longer occupy it. General Crocker will
take this subject into consideration to-day,
and make some suitable arrangements in
the premises. He says that Guiteau will
either occupy this cell or tho one immedi
ately adjoining it, as this location is the
most convenient lor keeping the prisoner
under a complete and constant espionage.
ne will not be allowed to receive anything
whatever from the outside, except such
portions of his mail as it may be deemed
proper to give him. -In this connection
Gen. Crocker says that five letters were re
ceived in Gniteau’s mail on Saturday, con
taining what was supposed to be small pox
virus, and he has notified the postmaster
that he will not hereafter receive any letters
for the assassin unless some method for
(heir fumigation or disinfection is adopted,
as ho does not feel justified in exposing his
subordinates to the dauger of infection.
Mexican Pensions.
Constant inquiries are made about pen
sions to ihe soldieis of the Mexican war.
In reply to a letter on this subject Hon. 0.
Wyatt Aiken writes:
“Mexican soldiers were pensioned before
the war if wounded, but on the 14th of
February, 1862, Congress struck from the
rolls all such pensioners who would not
swear allegiance to the United States, or
who abetted tho Confederacy. Pensions
never extend to brothers or sisters at the
death of the pensioner; nor even to children
except by enabling acts, but solely to
widows.”
