i Correspondence of the Chronicle.l
" Atlanta, September 25.—lhe Capitol
Commissioners met at S o’clock last-night
to organize, but were invited to the Hill
Memorial services and will some time to
day convene and begin their duties. The
City Council is taking steps to cancel the
mortgage on the present State House,
which has to be done before the law for
the building of a new Capitol goes into
eSect.
Ground was broken yesterday for the
new Gate City Guards Armory. Bonds to
|he amount of $12,000 have been issued—
-24 bonds of sso!)—to raise money with
which to construct the building. The
structure will be a handsome one and com
pleted by Christmas. The bonds have
been nearly negotiated.
The old lottery building, corner of For
?rth and Walton streets, is in litigation,
he upper story is rented by the Young
Men’s Christian Association. The lower
story was long used by Col. M. E. Thorn
ton and the Post-Appeal in their varigated
journalistic experience. Judge O. A.
Lochrane bought the building at tax sale
for somewhere near 1300. The building
and lot are worth $20,000. The trustees
of the lottery Mrs. Phoebe Pember and
her ladv associates, and Dr. H. L. Wilson,
Alex Wallace and the heirs of James D.
Waddell sue Judge Lochrane for the prop
erty. The lottery was authorized by the
Legislature to raise money to educate Con
federate orphans. The lottery was abolish
ed after this building was put up by the
trustees. The claimants urge that the
building was not taxable; that Judge Loch
rane was in such confidential relations
to the trustees that his purchase was a legal
fraud, and that the rents have paid the
taxes and interest. Judge Lochrane con
tests the suit,denying the various grounds.
Judge Hammond has made a temporary
order. The ca«e will be an interesting
Mie. Judge Lochrane has gotten a valuable
property for nothing. The trustees had
no personal right to the property, which
was a quasi public concern, and the insti
tution dead for whose object it was created.
If the trustees succeed in getting the pro
perty frem Judge Lochrane, they cannot
use it to run a lottery and it will be appro
priated for private purposes.
The memorial services in honor of Ben
Hill were very earnest and impressive.
The hall was filled and some were unable
to Ret in. President Boynton, of the Sen
ate, presided over the joint session.
Speaker Garrard sitting by him. Mr
Drewry, of Spalding, spoke in behalf of
the committee, making a fine effort in
presenting the portrait to the Legislature
He paid an excellent tribute to Mr. Hi!!,
portraying his character well. He called
Mr. Hill: "The great defender and advo
cate of State rights.”
The portrait was placed fronting the
Speaker’s desk, between the portraits of
Jefferson and Lafayette, and at the right of
Thomas Jefferson. It was unveiled. Sen
ator P W. Davis presented the resolutions
of the joint committee. A copy of the re
solutions signed by the Governor, Speaker
and Senate President are to be furnished
to Mr. Hill’s family, and a page is dedica
ted in the journal of each house to his
memory. Mr. Davis made one of his char
acteristically excellent and musically spo
ken speeches. He is an exceedingly felici
tous word user. He made some striking
utterances. “In overmastering power in
the forum, I doubt whether living he had
a rival or dying left his like among men”
is a good specimen of his expression. Again
—“No pale gradation of approaching twi
light gave warning of the setting sun. In
the fullndss of beam and meridian
fame that bright orb was suddenly
quenched.”
Mr. Humber made an affecting address,
full of personal feeling and friendly
pathos. It was one of the strongest eulo
gies made, both in its sentiment and word
power. Said he of Mr. Hill: “Ardent in
all bis emotions, his patriotism was an ab
sorbing passion;” and again, “Eternity
only can supply the painful void. Let
Georgia cherish him in her mother’s
heart. Her gratitude can never surpass
his merits or his love."
Mr. Hoge delivered a terse, nervous
eulogy, devoted to illustrating the “moral
heroism” of Mr. Hill. He mentioned his
Davis Hall speech and his Andersonville
defense in Congress. He thus concluded;
“Ab, tbou wert as brave a son as ever a
mother bore.”
Mr. Bussell, of Clarke, a bright young
member, representing Athens, once the
home of Mr. Hill, paid a touching tribute
to the dead, alluding to his connection
with the State University. Mr. Russell’s
ardent sentences, full of g’owing pane
gyric, were delivered with fire. He de
clared Mr. Hill to be possessed of “the
grandest intellect and the greatest talents
of any Georgian known to history.”
Mr. Gary’s speech I gave you. It was
spoken with eloquent effect and was re
garded as one of the best speeches of the
evening. Mr. Gary has a fine presence
and a sonorous voice, his action is grace
ful and manly and he always leaves an ad
mirable impression. Mr. Russell, of De
catur county, the wit of the House, showed
that he could speak well, seriously as
well as humorously. He drew warm ap
plause by his reference to Mr. Hill’s “de
votion to the cause and the fortunes, the
wrongs and misfortunes of one of the great
est men who lives among us to-night—Jef
ferson Dav’s.”
A most fitting little address was that
spoken by Senator Peeples, full of dis
criminating thought and condensed vigor
of expression. His opening sentence
was striking and was a typical commence
ment of the nervous speech: As the fond
mother bows her bead in grief over the
mound that covers the lifeless form of her
first born, so this grand old commonwealth
stands a mourner at the grave of her favor
ite son
Mr. Watts made a singularly clear an
alysis of Mr Hill’s oratory, and his political
course. He discussed the alleged defeats
of Mr. Hill’s political intelligence with
discrimination and a just power. He con
cluded by terming him “one of the
hallowed memories of a great State."
Senator Meldrim concluded the speech
es with one of his silvery musical perfect
enunciations th»t he always makes on
every subject and at all times. Richmond.
Indecent Journalism.
(Borne Courier.)
It may not be known to their publishers
or editors, but it is nevertheless a fact,
that there are leading newspapers in the
South, otherwise very entertaining and
valuable, which many of their subscribers
will not'carry to their families, because
they regard a portion of their contents as
unfit reading in the home circle. It is to
be hoped that Judge Clark's judgment—
for which the people of Georgia owe him
thanks—will not only put a stop to the
* circulation of publications adjudged “ob
scene,” but will also repress the proclivity
of others towards literature of a similar
kind.
Negotiations of the'Vatican.
Rome, September 24. The Vatican has
authorized Catholic Bishops who were ex
pelled from Prussia to open negotiation
with the Prussian government for their
return to their pastorates. The Moniteur
de Rome earnsthat the negotiations between
the Vatican and France have reached a
satisfactory conclusion. The French govern
ment has restored the suppressed sti
pends to the Catholic clergy and has given
formal assurances of the most pacific inten
sion towards the Holy See,

Heavy Fall of Raia Planting Oats—
The Fence Question—lnspecting the
Convict Camp.
(Correspondence of the Chronicle.)
Lexington, Ga., September 25. The
dry weather has dissappeared and in the
last twenty four hours we have had much
rain here. This rain caught much open
cotton in the fields, and will do doubt
damage much of it. Immediately succeed
ing these rains large quantities of oats
will be planted as the ground is now in
fine order for such work. The much
vexed question, “Fence or No Fence,” is at
last settled in this county. When the re
turns were all brought in on Wednesday
last, there was a nominal majority of 56
for fence. But very quickly after the ex
amination commenced on the returns
quite a number of illegal votes were thrown
out on both sides, and the result thus
left a majority of four votes in favor of
the stock law. The Ordinary, therefore,
has issued his proclamation declaring the
result, and declaring that the stock or
no fence law will go into effect in Ogle
thorpe county on the first day cf April,
1884. So you see that Oglethorpe county
has placed herself alongside with other
communities and counties on the side of
progress. The crops are being rapidly
gathered. Dr. Willis Westmoreland, the
celebrated surgeon and recently appointed
physician to the State Penitentiary, bas
just made an inspection of the convict
camp of Mr. James M. Smith in this
county, and returned to Atlanta. Abgus.
SOUTH AMERICA.
How the Revolationlsts Are Progressing
—Barricaded in Churches.
(By Cable to the Chronicle.'
Panama, September 23. —Since the fight
at Zipaquire no shooting has occurred.
The National forces are holding all the
commanding positions along the Magda
lena river, and no movement up or down
that stream can be made without their per
mission. The Commercio, of Bogota, thus
describes the movement at Zipaquire:
Although the Senate bad vetoed the ap
pointment of Senor Pedro Soler Martinez,
the National government sent him to Zapa
quire to take charge of Battalion No.
12, with three companies of this corps.
As it turns out Senor Soler Martinez, who
had not changed bis intentions in that
respect, assisted by the Salard Publica
Club in that city, headed a mutiny there,
deposed tho offiers who did not agree with
him and at once fortified himself in the
church and many of the houses. Late at
night Gen. Aldana, President of the State
of Cundinamarca, was informed of what
had occurred, and President Otalora,
having heard it some hours previously.
The National and State governments then
sent 1,000 men under Generals Ponce and
Learner with artillery, to quell the revolu
tion. Afterwards, at the request of some resi
dents of Zipaquire, the government sent
two peace delegations to treat with rhe
rebels. Unfortunately they arrived too
late, because Gen. Didaci Delgado ad
vanced near the fortification with a few
men in the hope that the rebels would
listen to reason, when they answered by
firing on him, killing him on the spot.
This was the commencement of a pro
longed struggle, which lasted from
4, p. m., on the 11th, until day
break of the 12th, when Col. Soler
Martinez surrendered at discretion.
Os the three companies of Columbian
guard he had under his command, one
joined General Ponce directly the firing
commenced, another changed sides at
nightfall and the third a few moments be
fore the surr_nder. The prisoners cap
tured, to the number of 132, were sent to
Bogota under charge of the sixth regiment
with the exception of Col. Soler Martinez,
who was handed over to the peace commis
sioners and accompanied them as a prisoner
to the capital. The killed and wounded
amounted to between 4 r ) and 50 on both
sides. Much excitement has reigned at
the Capital, but the defeat of the rebels
has been followed by a calmer feeling, al
though much indignation is felt at the un
necessary and wanton sacrifice of human
life. The bodies of General Delgado and
his adjutant, Lieutenant Tavera, were re
moved to Bogota and buried with much
pomp. The Bogota papers state that the
Custom House Arbitrators have confirmed
sentence fining the Atlas Steamship Com
pany $353,873. The matter is in the
hands of the British Minister. These
fines were imposed for trifling irregulari
ties in their ships papers.
HIM PLEA.
Fred Douglass at the National Colored
Convention—Efforts to Organise.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Louisville, September 25. - When Fred
Douglass came into Lieder Kranz Hall this
morning to speak before the National
Colored Convention, he found a very large
audience, many white persons having come
to hear his plea for hi* people. On the
stage, beside leading colored people, eat
ex-Attorney General Jas. Speed, of
Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet. Gen James
A. Eaken, U. 8. A, retired, and
a number of other prominent whites.
Douglass spoke for two hours, his remarks
being logical, often humorous and always
interesting. He sketched the history of
his race since their emancipation. He was
sarcastically severe upon the government
and incidentally so upon the Republican
party. He was listened to with great in
terest and received generous applause.
Since the conclusion of his speech the con
vention has in vain labored to complete its
organization. Too many orators seek the
floor and Mr. Green, temporary chairman,
who presides while Douglass rests from his
recent exertion, is unable to control them.

Aecidentiy Shot.
Chicago, September 25.—Shortly before
1, o’clock this afternoon Lyman Blair, of
the long established and wealthy commis
sion firm of Blair & Blair, was found
dying in a room in an upper story of his
residence from a shot gun wound. A re
cently discharged gun lay beside him He
expired in a few minu’e later, without
having spoken. A rumor was circulated
on ’Change, just before the close,that Blair
had committed suicide and it caused fluc
tuations in the price of grain and a pro
found sensation. The coroner’s jury this
evening found a verdict of accidental
shooting. Blair was preparing to go hunt
ing. It is supposed that while he was
handling his gun it was accidentally dis
charged. He was in good spirits and there
is no reason to suppose that it is a case of
suicide. _

JOHN A. FEENEY.
How a Gentleman From Canada Got
Into tile Tombs Court.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
New Yobk, September 25.—Great ex
citement was caused in the neighborhood
of the British consulate this afternoon by
the report of two pistol shots and the
spectacle of a hatless man running at the
top of his speed. The fugitive was pur
sued and captured by a policeman. He
gave the name of Feeney, and it was
learned that he had attempted to take the
life of the British consul by firing two
shots at him. When the prisoner was
brought to the New Street station house he
described himself as John A. Feeney,
aged 26 years, an Irishman, coachman
by trade. He appeared sickly and said
he was recently discharged from the
hospital in Buffalo. He declared that he
had come from Canada on purpose to kill
the British Consul, who had been libel
ing his character. It was evident that he
was of unsound mind. Complaint being
preferred against him by Edmund Prentiss
and David Oak, Jr., of the British Consul’s
office, he was taken to the Tombs Police
Court for examination. When Feeney en
tered the room of the Consul he drew a
seven-chamber revolver and fired two shots,
apparently without any definite aim, and
without hitting any one. He was arrested
immediately afterward by officer John
Carr, of the First Precinct.
In the court Feeney acted in a wild, ex
cited manner, shouting out that he wanted
to kill the villians who had accused him
of crime and published stories against his
character. To a reporter he said that he
had been arrested in Dublin without
cause and locked up in Kilmainham.
While there he was offered £SOO to swear
falsely against a fellow-prisoner. He re
fused. When it became known that he
had informed others of the offer made
him, he was locked up in a stage
coach and conveyed to Liverpool where
he was placed on board the Circassia and
landed in Toronto, Canada. There he was
placed ia an insane ward of the hospital.
He was finally released and went to Buffalo
five weeks ago. On Monday he came here
to try to get back to Ireland. Yesterday
he went to the British Consulate and
asked what communications they had re
ceived from London about him. He was
told they knew nothing about him. To-day
he went there again and asked the name
of the person who was publishing blas
phemous letters against his character. —
“They laughed at me,” he said, “and I
then cried: ‘Defend yourself! I’ll lose
iny life for my character!’ and fired.”
Nothing is known about Feeney in this
city, and no doubt of his insanity is en
A CAPITOL QUESTION.
Mr. Teller Declines to Obey an Execu
tive Order from Gov. Ordway—
His Position Defined.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
Yankton, D. T., September 25.—Gov.
Ordway, by executive order, dated Bis
marck, September 12th, directed James H.
Teller, Secretary of the Territory, to re
move his office to Bismarck within fifteen
days from date. Secretary Teller replied
in a long letter to Gov. Ordway, the letter
being as complete a legal document as a
most carefully drawn lawyer’s brief, in
which he declined to obey the order,
taking the ground that pending the
final decision of the court on the subject
of dispute regarding the location of the
seat of government, he, as Secretary of the
Territory, is competent to judge whether
or not a change is desirable. He contends
that he is subject to the order of the Unit
ed States government, as he is the cus
todian of the government property, and
that the order for the removal of his
office must come from the head of
the department to which he is
properly eubordir ote. Referring to de
cision of Judge Edgerton declaring the
Capitol Commission act uncoßSiitutional,
Secretary Teller says: “As a sworn officer
of the government, I recognize my obliga
tion to regard not ooly the letter but the
spirit of the law, and as this decision is
law until reversed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, I cannot consent to be a party
to any act which will appear to disregard
it.” The Secretary, therefore, declined to
obey the order, but wishes to be under
stood as having no personal interest in the
controversy. The b ;oks of the Auditor’s
office were taken from Yankton yesterday
morning by order of Governor Ordway.
THE POSTAGE REDUC I ION.
More About the Chaige— What Will Be
Done With the Tfaree-Cent 'tamps—
Foreign and Canadian Postage.
The reduction in postage, to take place
next week, is an event es general interest
all over the country, and a great many
questions are asked concerning the
change.
“What is going to be done about re
deeming the 3-cent postage stamps on
October 1st?” inquired a reporter of a
post office official.
“We have received no definite instruc
tions on that point,” was the reply.—
“There will, however.be little difficulty.
At present we cannot issue 2-cent
stamps in exchange for the 3, but some
arrangement for the exchange will prob
ably be made. All that we can do is to ex
change the 3-cent stamped envelope at
the cost of postage. The instructions re
ceived lari July in regard to the reduc
tion of stamp orders read : “All postmas
ters are instructed to limit their requisition
for 3-cent stamps and envelopes to quan
tities that, on a careful estimate, may be
deemed sufficient to last until October Ist.
To the same end the department will,
whenever it is deemed proper, curtail the
requisitions for that denomination, or
substitute a suitable amount of the 1 and
2-eent denominations. Postmasters will
take all available means of calling public
attention to the coming reduction of post
age, so that purchasers may not accumulate
an unnecessary supply of 3 cent stamps or
stamped envelopes.” The same circular
states that no arrangement had been made
for the redemption of the old stamps, and
directs postmasters to make no exchanges
for the public, and not to return to the
department the stock remaining on their
hands after October Ist.”
“Frosn this it may be inferred, then,
that the department will get rid of the
old stamps in some way.”
.“Probably that is the case. They can
be utilized very easily in paying postage
on overweight matter #nd for other pur
poses.”
“Will there be any change in foreign
postage?”
“Nose at all. There could be none.
The rate is fixed by the postal union and
it could not be changed."
“As to the postage on mail matter be
tween the United States and Canada a
somewhat curious complication was dis
covered. By the postal convention be
tween Canada and the United States it is
provided that ’all articles of mail matter
except samples must be fully prepaid at
the demeste rates of the country of origin,
and are deliverable free of charge in the
country of destinat on.’ It will be seen
that, under this article, a letter mailed in
any part of the United States for any part
of Canada will require two cents postage,
which is the rate in the ‘country of orig
in.’ Canada, however, has, it is under
stood, refused to reduce its domestic post
age, the rate of which is still three cents.
A letter, therefore, mailed in Canada for a
point in the United States will require
three cents postage, which is the rate of
‘the country of origin.’ ”
“When will the change take place F’
“At midnight on September 30th. All
letters mailed up to that time will require
the old stamp, the rate of postage, by a
rule of the department, being fixed at the
mailing office, and not at the delivery.”

THE CARRY CASE.
The Trial of the Slayer of Inftmer
Carey—The Line of Defense—Precau
tionary Measures—The Counsel
in the Case.
(By Cable to the Chronicle.)
London, September 25.—Mrs. Carey,
the wife of James Carey, who was killed by
O’Donnell, was landed this morning at
Green hi the, on the Thames, 18 miles
from London. O’Donnell was brought to
Bow Street Police Court at 2 o’clock this
afternoon. Magistrate Flowers presided.
The court room was filled and a large
crowd was collected outside. Special pre
cautions were taken by the police to pre
vent any attempt at rescue. Mr. Poland
opened the case for the Crown. He recounted
the passage out on the steamer of the
Carey family and of O’Donnell, and re
peated the details of the murder. Mr.
Poland said that O’Donnell’s assertion,
when he was arrested, that he acted in de
fense, would be contradicted by the testi
mony of Carey’s oldest son, who would
awear that his father had no pistol. Mr.
Sullivan, M. P., counsel for O’Donnell,
complained to the court that a solicitor
had been refused access to the prisoner.
Mr. Flowers, .the magistrate, allowed the
prisoner to retire and consult with his so
licitor. James Parish, a servant on the
steamer Melrose, on which the crime was
committed, and Thomas Jones, boatswain,
who were eye witnesses of the murder, re
peated their testimony that they gave be
fore the court at Cape Town. The bullet
found upon the floor of the cabin of the
steamer and the pistol taken from O’Don
nell, were produced and identified. Jones
swore that O’Donnell’s words to Mrs.
Carey after shooting her husband were:
“Shake hands Mrs. Carey, I did not do
it.” Carey’s son was then examined. He
testified that after witnessing O’Donnell
shoot his father he ran to the latter’s berth
and obtained his revolver, but he had not
time to give it to him before one of the
officers of the steamer took it from him.
He said he heard O’Donnell tell his moth
er that he (O’Donnell) was “Sent to do
it.” O’Donnell’s revolver bore the name
of its manufacturer in New Haven, Conn.
The Captain of the Melrose testified to the
finding of an electric machine in the pris
oner’s baggage. The machine he said
was thrown overboard. Mrs. Carey was
the next witness called, but she was
unable to give her testomony owing
to fatigue. The statement of the son of
Carey that O’Donnell said he “was sent to
do it,” created a sensation in the court
room. John Marvin, inspector of the Port
Elizabeth police, also testified that an ex
tract from a paper was found in O’Don
nell’s box, headed “Irish Revolutionists in
America,” and a supplement of the Weekly
Freeman's Journal, of Dublin, containing a
por rait of Carey, and a certificate showing
that O’Donnell was an American citizen,
were also found. Mr. Poland agreed that
every facility should be given the prison
er’s solicitor during the trial. The exami
nation was adjourned until Friday. Several
bouquets and other presents have been
sent to Millbank prison for O'Donnell.
ANNUAL Fairs.
Carollaa and Virginia Preparing For
Their Agricultural Exhibition*
This Fall.
The State of Georgia seems to have giv
en up the holding of annual State Fairs
although Carolina, Virginia and other
Commonwealths are carrying them on as
smoothly and as successfully as ever. The
Carolina* Agricultural and Mechanical
Society will hold its 15th annual fair at
Columbia, 8. 0., November 13ch, 14th,
15th and 19th. In reply to questions
from an Augusta stock raiser, Mr. Thos.
W. Holloway, of Pomaria, Newberry coun
ty, 8 0., says:
“We assign stalls according to dale of
entry. Two breeders have already enter
ed about ten head each of Jerseys. The
bulk of the entries will come in by the
2Oth October—l mean of stock. Our
cattle stalls are without floors, but good
bedding is provided. For sheep and goats
the pens are covered and floored. Our
Soath Carolina breeders of thoroughbred
cattle would be pleasei to compete with
her Bister Georgia; awards to be made by
an expert by the scale of points.”
The Virginia State Agricultural Society
will hold its State Fair in Richmond, com
mencing October 31st, November Ist and
2d. Mr. George W. Mayo, Secretary,
writes that the railroad companies have
made low excursion rates for all visitors,
and that the mao egement would be pleased
to see a full representation from this sec
tion on hand. Gen. Wm. S. 0. Wickham is
the President of the society.
THE EXPRESS COMPANY.
Why It is That They Never Have Any
Strike.
A prominent Southern authority says:
Why is it the express companies never have
any strikes, and why is it that there is no
bad or unpleasant feeling between officer
and employe in the same? The answer
is very simple, it is because in the express
service there is no Trade Union or Brother
hood, with a set of officers interested in
getting up a strike to support themselves
in idleness and luxury. The antagonistic
element prevading all unions, etc., does
not exist among expressmen. In those as
soon as a man rises from the ranks and
has a mind and ideas of his own, and be
comes promoted, be is forthwith dismissed
and turned out as belonging to the accurs
ed race of wage-payers, instead of with his
knowledge of both sides, being useful to
both as a mediator and pivot of contract;
but in the express services the officers of the
company have mostly risen from the ranks
and know all the outs and ins of the
business, know the ideas and feelings of
those employed in the various branches of
the business, and instead of withdrawing
themselves, or being excluded from the
associations of the employes, they are in
terested and prominent therein. In the
one with which we are best acquainted
the Expressman’s Mutual Benefit Associa
tion—the Vice-President of the Adams
Express is President, the chairman of the
managing committee is general manager
of another company, and all the expenses
of carrying on the organization are paid
by the leading express companies: thus
the employes and workers of these com
panies feel that there is a mutual interest
and community of feeling between them
and the officials, that these cfficials have an
interest in and a regard for their welfare,
something more than the m> re money and
wage consideration, and with these feel
ings and community of interest there is no
occasion for strikes or quarrels, and conse
quently there are none.
British Trade Notes.
London, September 24. The Mark
Lane Express, in its review of the grain
trade for the past week, says: “Trade is
dull throughout the country. The trade
in foreign wheat, off stands, has not im
proved. The market for flour is very dull
and in favor of buyers; off coast cargo
trade in wheat has not improved. Eight
een cargoes have arrived; five were ►old
and ten were withdrawn. The trade for
ward has been trifling at nominal values.
Sales of English wheat for the week were
67,665 quarters at 41s. Bd.. against 51,-
453 quarters at 425. Id. for correspond
