8 PLACING THE PORTRAIT. MEMORIAL services in honor of ben J- H. HILL. Th* Capitol CommiMlon»r«—The Gate City Gnard-The Old Dottery Build ing—Th* Senate and the House Delivering Eu'ogies—Fitting Tributes to Georgia’s Dis tinguished Dead. 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, CHRONICLE ANU CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER £6, ISS3. LEXISGrOV DOTS. 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. ARMY AND NAVY NOTES. Gen. Sherman Retiring—Phil. Sheri dan to Take Command—Gen Pope and Hie Department— Secretary Chandler elltng Off Our Navy. (By Telegraph to the Chronicle.) Washington, September 25.—General Sherman has fixed upon the Ist of No vember as the date upon which he will turn over the command of the army to Gen. Sheridan and practically retire to civil life, although be will not be placed upon the retired list of the army until the eighth of February. Gen Sheridan will be here upon the first of November to be initiated in the duties of his new office, so that be will be well used to the traces by the time Congress meets. General Pope, now commanding the De partment of Missouri, will probably suc ceed Gen Sheridan in command of the military division of Missouri, which in cludes,* besides the Department of Mis souri, the Depauments of Dakota, Texas and the Platte. Secretary Chandler has accepted the highest bids received yesterday for the condemned vessels. The bids aggregate $308,273. The appraised value was 4271,300. 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. _ Defaced. Marshtoeld, Mass , September 24. The Daniel Webster monument was de faced yesterday by van dais or relic seekers. 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.” Strlous Railway Accident. Bucharest. September 25.—A railway train from Paris for Constantinople was thrown from the track near Verciarova. Several carriages were demolished and many persons were killed an 4 injured. 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.
