. Macoii Telegraph: The so-called Radical
State Convention in this city on Wednesday
last may bo likened unto the stale, mouldy
and f<etid residum of an old bottle of
pepper sauce, years since exhausted of its
sting and left a prey to dust aud decomposi
tion on tho back shelf of a lumber closet.
Or perhaps it might be symbolized by one
of those ancient mustard pots exposed to
Sheriff's sale as part of the assets o£ a de
funct oyster saloon—a curious, unfragrant
and unsightly compound of decomposition,
dirt and acridity. It conveyed a faint sug
gestion of old corrosive power, but
lost in corruptio i and decay. Nine
teen so-called delegates, not from
counties, but from districts, in none of
which a district election or meeting bad
been held, claimed to represent the Siato of
Georgia aud to select for her a Governor,
Representatives in Congress, aud Electors.
The whole concern bad not the moral or
equitablo power to represent a cross-road
precinct in gum swamps. And this was a
convention of the Republican party of the
State of Georgia! It ought to have been
supplemented by a file cf Robeson’s marines
to make a showing. It was the last sweep
ings of the Radical corn-crib—the last crust
of a mouldly cheese, lf we might suggest
iu the premises, wo would say : Don’t try
it again. Call no more conventions. Let
the thing die out just so.
SENATORIAL VILLAINY.
A Had Story About a Member of (he
Truly («ootl Burly.
[Washington special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.]
A decided sensation was created here
to-day by the publication in the Evening
Telegram of the following terrible story
on a well known Western Sebator :
“An ugly story is afloat in the city to
the effect that a prominent Senator on
the Republican side, with the assistance
of a colored procuress, enticed a young
Spanish girl, aged about fifteen years,
into one erf the rooms of the capitol
building, where they had wines, cake,
etc., aud kept her there, contrary to
her will, over six hours. During
the girl’s imprisonment she was out
raged. and after he realized what
he had done he sent her to her home
hurriedly in a hack. The child for a
week was complaining of being unwell,
which attracted the attention of her
mother and sister, with whom she was
living, and finally she revealed the true
state of the affair and told who her se
ducer was. The mother immediately
hunted up the wretch, and charged him
with the crime, whereupon he gave her
$500 and promised monthly allowances
to keep quiet. The mother reluctantly
acceded to this proposition, as the Sena
tor begged her not to expose him, as it
would ruin him for life. He promised
never to be guilty of such a fiendish act
again, and promised further to be a father
to the child and supply all the wants of
the family. The mother consented to
the proposition, and the affair was
hushed up for the time. The affair
caused great indignation in the city, and
especially about the capitol, when the
knowledge of the outrage leaked out last
week. The girl is now with her mother
and sister, her father being dead, an i on
Thursday night, in conversation with an
old fiiend of the family who had heard
of the outrage, she related all the facts,
but refused to give the name of the
Senator. She describes him as having
jet black hair, inclined to bo long.”
An American Throws His Young Wife*
Down an Alpine Ravine*
[Correspondence of the Cologne Gazette.]
Dormio, Lombardy, July 17.—The
Vienna advocate, Dr. Sigismund Fessler,
made, this morning, the ascent of the
Stelvio Pass from Eyers over Spordinig
Trafoi. An hour above Trafoi, and at a
height of about 0,700 feet, at the place
where the Ortler, Stelvio and Madatsch-
Ferner form that fearful, impassable
ravine in which the Adige has its source
by the three sacred springs, Dr. Fessler
perceived on the slope of the ravine a
blue veil stained with blood. The Vienna
tourist was not a little horrified when he
noticed that the traces of blood led
down into the depth of the ravine. He
suspected an accident or a crime, and
although the descent into the bottom of the
ravine was not free from danger, with the
aid of two passing peasants he let him
self down into it; and there he found the
body of a young woman about twenty-
four years of age, elegantly dressed, dead,
with three gaping wounds on the head.
The wounds appeared to have been made
with a sharp instrument. The body was
lying at the bottom with the head down
ward. All the circumstances indicated a
crime, and in particular the broken handle
of a sun umbrella found by the dead body,
showed the struggle in defense that had
taken place. Dr. Fessler left the two peas
ants to watch over the corpse, and crept
back up the ravine on all fours, and soon
after the district magistrate of Glurus ap
peared on the spot and made an examina
tion. The report of the crime spread
like wildfire through the neighboring
hamlets, and thus it came about that its
perpetrator was soon in the hands of
justice. He is an American who lived in
Spording with his wife—the murdered
lady—and a maid servant. Yesterday he
went with his wife to Trafoi and came
back thence with the report that she had
fallen on the road and had suffered bodily
injuries. The improbability of this
statement and his lack of interest in the
fate of his wife increased the suspicions.
Soldiers were ordered from Gomagoi, and
the American, whose true name has not
thus far been revealed, was handed over
to the Police Court of Glurus. The maid
has also been taken into custody.
A New Forage Plant in Georgia.
[From the Columbus Times.]
During the session of the Agricultural
Convention at Gainesville, we made the
pleasant acquaintance of Mr. S. W.
Brooks, a delegate from Brooks county.
He carried to the convention samples of
a forage plant which is now extensively
cultivated in Brooks and some of the ad
joining counties of Georgia and Florida,
and which is held in great esteem there
for its valuable properties. He calls it
“Indian Clover,” or “Beggar Weed.” It
bears a resemblance to the plant which
we call “Beggar’s Lice,” and produces
an adhesive seed very similar to that
weed. But as it is cut for forage
when in bloom and before the seed
hardens, there is no trouble on this
score. The seed is sown in drills, about
as thick as cotton seed, though the drills
are only two feet apart. The plant grows
to the height of four, and even five or
six feet, and has a bushy top, full of
leaves, very much resembling the foliage
of the field pea. They are evidently
fully as palatable and nutritious as the
pea leaves, and do not fall off like the
latter. To the human taste the dried
leaf is sweet, agreeable and succulent,
and its fragrance is as pleasant as that of
clover. Mr. Brooks says that when this
provender is put in a trough with other
kinds, the mules will push the oats and
fodder out of the way to get at the “Beg
gar Weed.” For milch cows it is espe
cially valuable, being rich and juicy, and
eagerly devoured by them.
The yield of this plant is very great.
It may be cut three times in a season,
growing np repeatedly from the old
stumps, and yields many hundreds of
pounds to the aore at each cutting. The
samples which Mr. Brooks carried to
Gainesville were of the second cutting of
this year, and he will certainly get one
and perhaps two more cuttings. It is
not a perennial, but the seed must be
planted each year. It produces well on
poor lands, but of course does better on
rich soils. Horses, mules and cattle will
eat it up clean, stalks and all, and thrive
on it. m
A Hartford clergyman went to a livery
8table one hot day recently to get a team.
Wnile waiting for it to be harnessed be
pulled off his coat and sat down in a con
venient chair. A doctor came for his
horse, and seeing the parson in his shirt
sleeves, remarked facetiously -. “ You are
the man I want. I should like to get you
to help me about my haying.” The par -
son said with a twinkle m his eye: “I
can’t pitch, and I can’t mow; but per
haps I can rake after you—I am just
about to attend a funeral.” At last ac
counts the doctor was wondering whether
the clergyman was in any way related to
Douglass Jerrold.

THE TURCO-SERVIAN WAR.
London, August 18.—A correspondent, of
the Daily News writes from Philippopolis,
under date of August lltli, that the con
dition of the Turkish army at Nish is de
plorable, and starvation is threatening.
The country around dies not afford
supplies of forage. Along the roads
between Nish aud Sofia the villages
are all abandoned, and the army will soon
be obliged to advance into the Servian ter
ritory for supplies, or retreat. Through
the efforts of Mr. Schuyler, of the American
Legation, the release of all prisoners except
those in the first category has been ordered.
A dispatch to the Times from Belgrade
says Prince Milan haps received from several,
if not from all the powers, congratulations
upon the birth of aaa heir, all of which con
tain expressions heaving no doubt in the
mind of the Princo that the powers are desir
ous of seeing an end of the war, which is dan
gerous to the general peace of Europe. The
result is that Sfrvia is ready to treat for
peace, but will n-ot consent, however, to the
deposition of Prince Milan or the sacrifice
of any territory, nor will they submit to
Turkish administration. Every day that the
war is prolonged adds to the danger of a
general European conflagration.
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch from
Belgrade saying that the Turks have sur
rounded Milanovatz, on tho Danube. The
Servians are defending the town, but if it
should fall the Turkish advance on Belgrade
and Semendria could not bo prevented.
Belgrade, August 18.—Official dispatches
received hero say the reports that tho Ser
vians wore defeated on the river Driua aud
at Banja, and that the Turkish corps aro
advancing towards Krusclievatz, are pure
inventions. To-day the Turks attacked the
outposts near Brelina and were repulsed.
They attacked tho Driua army yesterday
near Badovinatz, aud were repulsed with
great loss.
FROM CHINA AND JAPAN.
San Francisco, August 18.—The Great
Republic, from Hong Kong, with Grosvenor
and Baber, the Commissioners to Yuma, on
board, has arrived a-t Shanghai. The de
parture of Wade from Pekin and the estab
lishment of the British Legation at Shang
hai, startled tho Chinese authorities, who,
after trying to persuade Wade to return,
proposed to send the Viceroy to him
to reopen negotiations. Wade rejected the
overtures, and is said to have announced
that troops have already been summoned
from India. The Chinese leaders are
making military preparations. The British
war ship Silvia has gone to Corea to demand
redress for the attach made on British boats
by the Corean forts last autumn.
The Chinese Government paid the Ger
man Government $36,GOO to satisfy the
claimants in tho case of the ship Anna'.
In Japan the continued demand for raw
silk has caused extravagant prices, owing
to the reported failure of the European

FRENCH NOTES.
London, August 18.—A dispatch to the
Reuter Telegram Company from Paris says
Gon. de Cissey’s resignation of tho War De
partment was not voluntary, as President
McMahon requested it. This action is con
strued to nieau that tho President wishes
his war minister tv be no longer subject to
Parliamentary vicissitudes and change dur
ing recess. The selection of Gen. Berthaut,
who is not a member of Parliament, excited
considerable comment, particularly among
Republicans. The organization of the War
Department, and a large extension of the
powers of the chief of the general staff,
is shortly expected, in consonance with the
views of Duke d’Audriffet Pasquier and M.
Freyciret, which General Boribaut shares.
It is expected that General de Cissey will
be assigned to one of the groat military
commands at tho approaching periodical
change of these posts.
CONNECTICUT PEACE SOCIETY.
Mystic, Conn., August 15.—The Connecti
cut Peace Society resolutions oppose the re
turn of tho Indian Bureau to tho War De
partment ; denounce tho invasion of the
Black Hills ; charge that the Indian war was
forced upon the Indians so as to prevent
a reduction in the army; demand an
investigation of the mauy enumerated
outrages by tho military on the Indians,
aud declare General Custer’s death was a
just retribution for the slaughter of friendly
Indians. They comment on tho Congres
sional investigation of the War aud Njivy
Departments, and urge universal amnesty
to the ex-Confederates, and the removal of
the army from the Iudiau country.
Zach^riah Crouch presided. During tho
sessions of two days two thousand persons
attended. Tho hoavy rains throughout
yesterday did not materially interfere with
the proceedings.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Washington, August 18.—The following

master Waynes had a leg broken, express
messenger Randall was seriously injured,
aud a boy, stealing a ride, was fatally hurt.
The locomotive was smashed.

fit of jeilousy.
FROM AFRICA.
London, August 18.—A dispatch to the
Standard from Madeira says a steamer
which arrived there from Africa reports all
quiet at Whvdah. The King of Dahomey
holds a few Frenchmen as hostages, and
threatens to kill them if the British squad
ron fires upon the natives.
DEAD.
London, August 18.—John Frederick
Lewis, R. A., a well known painter in oil
and water colors, is dead.
“’Ow’s Lady Mary?”—The supposed
descendant of John Pierrepont, of llox-
bury, at present employed as American
Minister at the Court of St. James, is not
altogether happy, and begins to feel as if
he wanted to go home. For a person of
his sensitive temperament and aristo
cratic instincts it is very wearing to have
the London news-boys dodge into a blind
alley when they see him coming, and jell
at the top of their voices, “’Ow’s Lady
Mary ?”—Brooklyn Argus.
A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from Indianapolis, say3:
“It cannot be too plainly stated that the
triumph of the Republican cause in In
diana is yetfto be made certain. Political
optimists already count the Republican
majority in October by the thousand, but
it is the unprofitable counting of un
hatched chickens.” The Republican par
ty of Indiana is in need of patent politi
cal incubators.
A Servian soldier about to be shot for
deserting his post reminded one of the
filing party that he had promised to give
his sister a silver chain ; he also requested
the same man to cut his throat before he
was buried. He received satisfactory
promises and died happy. It requires so
little to make some people happy.
THE CROOKED IN GEORGIA.
The ilevenue Defrauded by Officers of the
Government—Whisky Operators Black
mailed—The Courts Prostituted—Crime
that Commissioner Pratt has Winked at.
[Atianta Correspondence New York Sun.]
The ’hoppers have been a great plague
to the South, but they are only a fleabite
as compared wi,tb Grant’s officials. As a
credible Union county man expressed it:
“The deputy marshals would swear the
horns off a muly bull, and not strain
themselves either.”
There have been some operators in
crooked whisky in the Fourth Collection
District undoubtedly, but the efforts of
the Department to ferret them out have
been in very bad hands. Henry Martin,
Deputy Marshal at Clarkesville, and Tay
lor Cobb, a Deputy at Blairsville, Union
county, are notoriously well up in the art
of “division and silence.” Mitchell
Simms gave them $75 to suppress a
crooked case against him. Benjamin
Simms paid them $40 for a similar*pur-
posc: John Owenby $25, aud Tompkins
Colens $40.
James Dyers and Hinson, brothers-in-
law, make no secret of the fact that
Deputy Marshal Cobb is “in with them”
in their distiller}*, and they defy any
other revenue officer to touch them.
Martin and Cobb employ a sub-deputy,
Alec Owenby by name, to “work up”
crooked cases, for which they pay him
two dollars and fifty cents apiece. Many
cases have been trumped up merely to
get the fees and mileage. The deputies
are supposed to take the prisoners before
the nearest United States Commissioner,
who is at Clarkesville; but this they
seldom do.
It is very inconvenient for him to be
taken all the way to Atlanta, where, per- t
haps, he cannot find bail; but it enables
them to charge $25 or $30 mileage for
each prisoner; so he is generally brought
to this city. It is common report that
last j ear Martin and Cobb levied by such
means as these not less than $1,500 in
Union county alone. The grand jury iu
April last made a presentment to the
court to the effect that they were morally
convinced of the complicity of these men
in the crime of bribery, and recommend
ed their suspension from office until a
more thorough investigation could be
made of their doings aud the doings of
other Deputy Marshals in the Northern
District of Georgia. Martin aud Cobb
were suspended for a time for appear
ances’ sake, but they were soon at work
again.
FORCED ASSESSMENTS.
C. E. Blacker, Deputy Marshal in
Whitfield and Walker counties, is a bird
of the same feather. A wealthy and in
fluential inhabitant of Bartow county,
with his son and a negro in his employ,
vias arrested by Blacker and a posse of
soldiers, and brought to Atlanta on a
charge cf selling liquor without license,
which he pronouuced to be false and a
trumped-up charge. They were confined
in a room in the United States court
house. The gentleman’s nephew,who was
attending the medical college in this city,
was then arrested and locked up with
them. They engaged a lawyer, and
after several days’ negotiation with
Blacker, he told the old gentleman
that the case could be settled for $300.
He paid it rather than be subjected
to longer confinement. He has not
heard of tho charges since. Fayette
Wheeler, of Pickens county, paid to A.
J. Glenn, a prosperous resident of Pick
ens, who is said to be a go-between for
Blacker, $100 to settle a case against him;
and Glenn offered to settle a case for an
old farmer named Rudge for $100. Depu
ty Marshal Blacker is known to have re
ceived hush money from illicit distillers
in tho summer and fall of 1875. He re
ceived from Wm. B. Bailey $175, from
H. Childers $175, from Jas. PaDgle $200,
from Wm. McCotcha $50.
Mart Manchester did a nice little busi
ness in tapping tho crooked dealers for a
time. Having a batch of bench warrants
from the United States Court, he sold
them to tho persons upon whom they
were to be served, and received from D.
Charlton, Union county, $100; from M.
JoEes, $100; from E. Teague, $50; from
G. N. Lanoes, $6G; from J. A. Lannes,
$66 ; from Henry Magney, $66 ; from G.
B. Magney, $60. They paid the amounts,
but were afterward arrested on duplicate
warrants, and some of them testified to
these facts before the grand jury.
Last summer Dr. Hardin, one of the
best men in Pickens county, was arrested
by Deputy Marshal Goodwin on some
frivolous charge of violating the revenue
law. He was taken to Cartersville, and
there gave bonds to answer before Com
missioner Collins. He attended several
times, but the hearing was postponed be
cause no witnesses appeared. At l ist, he
met A. J. Glenn in court. Glenn said,
“Doc, you might as well be out of this
now as at any other time. You see, the
court wants to be greased. They’ll devil
you to death, bringing you to and fro.
All they want is a little money, and I
think I can fix them all right.” Dr. Har
din paid $100. After consultation with
Goodwin and the Commissioner, Glenn
returned and said: “It’s all right.” They
went into the court room, the case was
called, and, no witnesses appearing, the
Doctor was discharged. He has not been
called upon since.
G. W. Sanford, who was arrested for
selling liquor without license, published
a card iu the Constitution, charging that
Goodwin had sworn falsely aud com
pounded a crooked case for $230, and
had cheated the government out of
mileage by representing that the distance
to the town of Buchanan is ninety-five
instead of only fifty miles.
HUSH MONEY.
Deputy Marshal Jeff Findley is believed
to have received upward of $10,000 as
hush money from crooked whisky dealers
of the Fourth Collection District during
the last year. One Perry, of Dahlonege,
paid him $800. J. J. Barrett, of Mud
Creek, Habersham county, paid him $45
not to press a charge of selling without
license. Barrett was convicted and sen
tenced to three months’ imprisonment at
the last March term. He wrote asking
Findley to refund the money, but he re
fused. Andy Ferguson, of the same
place, gave Findley $30 in cash and a
horse worth $70 to suppress a crooked
case against him and his two sons.
Aud, by the way, this Audy Ferguson
and his sons were convicted of the only
genuine case of Ku-Kluxism that has oc
curred of late in Georgia. They and about
a dozen others, including two Hard-Shell
Baptist preachers, were arrested in No
vember last on a charge of illicitly
making, and the illicit sale of whisky.
They were taken before Commissioner
John M. Church, in Clarkesville, one of
the few honest Federal office holders we
have. The hearing was adjourned for one
week on account of the absence of wit
nesses, among them some lewd women of
the neighborhood.
When asked why they did not appear,
they said that one of the prisoners’
friends had stood guard over them with
a shotgun; and after Ferguson and his
crowd returned from the hearing before
the commissions, about twenty-five or
tiiirty of them, disguised, went and tore
down the outbuildings, beat the women
and injured a child of eighteen months.
They were re-arrested, and after two
days’ hearing they were committed for
trial. Ferguson told several persons that
Findley represented to him that Collector
Holtzclaw, since removed for irregulari
ties in office, had authorized him to set
tle “from the ground up,” aud Ferguson
says he has not heard of the charge of
illicit selling since.
In 1875 one Cantrell was arrested on
the charge of illicit distilling, and taken
before Commissioner Neal, in Gaines
ville. He was sent to jail and held for
some time, and got out only by consent
ing to give a deed of some property to
Findley and Commissioner Neal. This
fact he swore to before Commissioner
Church afterward. It is said that Find
ley a’-d Neal play into each other’s hands;
that after Neal binds a man to appear,
Findley goes to him and agrees to fix the
case for a certain sum of money or other
valuables, land, horses, pigs, or whatever
else he can get, and that after settlement
they substitute other names for those of
the real witnesses on the warrant, so that
there can be no conviction.
HOW IT WAS FIXED.
Three cases against Findley have been
carried on the docket of the United States
Court here for the last four years. Dis
trict Attorney Farrow may be honest, but
he takes a curious way of showing his
honesty. When A. J. Glenn was sub-
poenaed to appear before the grand jury
on the charge against Deputy Marshal
Goodwin, for whom he was supposed to
have acted as a go between, Glenn failed
to appear, and summary process was
issued by the court. The District Attor
ney was careful to choose Goodwin him
self to serve the process on Glenn, so
that they had ample opportunity to con
sult what was best to be done. Farrow
was District Attorney in the Greeley can
vass of 1872, when the riot occurred in
Macon, and when twenty-five young
white men were arrrested. No one has
ever heard of the cases since, although
several negroes were shot in the riot. It
is said that it cost the young men $3,000
to fix it.
All these cases of dereliction on the
part of Deputy Marshals, were laid before
Internal Revenue Commissioner Pratt,
by ex-Congressman Col. \V. A. Price, in
November last. At about the same time
Solicitor General Spears, of the Superior
Court, wrote to Commissioner Pratt,
charging that a number of United States
Commissioners had been guilty, as here
mentioned. Major Logan, of Cleveland,
White county, wrote to Commissioner
Pratt also about his Marshals. Not the
slightest notice was taken of any of these
letters.
BLAINE’S BUGABOO.
Tlie DcMiiocrnts and the School question.
[Correspondence of the St. Louis Republic in.]
Washington, August 7.—The Repub
licans have not yet got over the surprise
which the action of the Democrats in the
House on the school question gave them.
The unanimity with which that party
voted for the constitutional amendment,
even though it came from Blaine, was too
much for them. They do not believe the
Democrats are iu earnest, and still cling
fondly to the hope that the question
will divide the party in the campaign.
As will be seen by the report of
Monday’s session of tho Senate, Sar
gent, Freliughuysen and Christiancy
nave offered amendments and substitutes
for the House measure which are of a
nature calculated by these Senators and
their Republican brethren to raise the ire
of the Catholics. They will find, how
ever, that they cannot pass any measure
taking the school fund out of sectarian or
denominational hands which will be
worded m any terms, however strong,
that will not meet the hearty approval of
all Democrats in either body, whether
Catholics or Protestants. Speaking of
their surprise, none were more dumb
founded than the Republican members of
the Judiciary Committee, whence the res
olution came to tho House.
Father Hoar thought the other day
that ho had obtained the i-olution of the
willing assent of the Catholics. He was
talking with Caulfield, of Chicago, a col
league on the committee, aud said to him
that he had it from the best of authority
that the Catholic Bishops of the country
had held a conference, and that the re
sult of their conference was a request, I
believe be put it a demand, made upon
the Catholics in the House to vote for the
amendment. Caulfield laughed at
Hoar’s rising indignation over such
an interference of the church with
legislation, and then told him that
any reports of that kind were en
tirely false; that there had been no
meeting of the Bishops for any purpose.
Iu the committee the surprise of I [oar,
Frye, McCrary and Lawrence was iudi-
crous in the extreme. When Blaine’s
amendment was called up they 1 quared
themselves for a hot fight, aud began
immediately to protest against legislation
in favor of the Catholic Church, reiterat
ing all of the common flings at the Pope,
etc. To their visible, and, as I said, de
cidedly ludicrous astonishment no one
took up the fight. Instead, the Demo
crats, two of whom, Caulfield and Hurd,
are Roman Catholics, did not oppose the
amendment. They spoke in favor of
it. Caulfield went even further and
offered an amendment, so as to
make Blaines amendment stronger.
Where Blaine had used the words “no
sect,” Caulfield suggested “or denomi
nation.” “Why?” said Hoar. “Simply,”
replied Caulfield, “ because sect is not
the word you want. Sect comes from
seco, ‘to cut off,’ and the amendment
would not touch the Catholic Church.”
“Well,” seys Father Hoar, “let’s get the
dictionary and see about that.” After an
examination they came to the conclusion
that Caulfield was right and the addi
tional words were inserted, adding not
a little to the bewilderment of the
quartet of Republicans. Frye, Blaine’s
friend, admitted ihat Caulfield had vastly
improved the amendment. So the con
sideration of the amendment was con
tinued iu committee, the Democrats, in
stead of offering objections, earnestly and
quietly aiding in the perfection of the
resolution, which was adopted unani
mously. When it came into the House it
was handled iu tho same excellent man
ner. Now the Senators think they can
make it answer their political purposes,
and, as I have stated above, are making
what will prove to be a vain effort to
create dissension in the Democratic
ranks.
31 r. Watterson in the House.
[Special dispatch to the Chicago Times ]
Washington, August 14.—A visitor
upon the House floor to-day sought to
find Uncle Jimmy Williams’s seat. He
said: “Show me the man who w*ears
leather seats in his trowsers. who won’t
spend public money for lemonade, and
who is a reformer.” No one paid any
attention to him, and he had to study a
long time on his twenty-five cent diagram
before he could find the seat. When he
did so he was very much surprised. He
saw there an aquilined-featured, blond-
headed, military-moustached and goateed-
figure bent over a sheet of paper within
an inch of its surface, writing away like
a madman, crossing the broad page
five times to the second, and every three
seconds pausing to make a vicious jab at
his inkstand at his right. The visitor
exclaimed at once that this did not look
like his full idea of Jimmy. He had no
idea he could gather himself in that sort
of fashion at the end of a pen, and he so
expressed himself, until a Kentucky mem
ber enlighteeed him by saying, “You are
mistaken. Blue Jeans is gone home.
That man is Watterson, of the Courier-
Journal, the pride of Kentucky, by
G—d !” Thus was Watterson introduced
to Congressional life by being given, after
being sworn, the seat made smooth and
sacred by the leathern understanding of
Uncle Jimmy. It was an unusual sight
to see this blande bundle of nervous
energy racing through newspapers and
heaping up manuscript of private cor
respondence with a rush and a go unusual
even in thorough-paced journalists. The
old-time occupant, Uncle Jimmy, used to
spend his leisure hours in contemplating
his cowskin boots, gently reposing upon
the desk before him. The neighbors
about this seat welcome Watterson right
cordiall}'. When he left his desk he
always had a crowd of Kentucky admirers
at his heels, begging him, with tears in
their eyes, to imbibe a little corn-juice
with them for sweet Kentucky’s sake. If
he had only accepted these kindly offers
he would have been howling drunk at 2
p. m. with a fit of tremens before dinner,
but he gently escaped from his friends as
he best could, and gave himself up to the
delight of being one of those fellows that
he has so often castigated with his bril
liant pen. This was a point often made
by members round about him: “Now
that you are one of us you will have to
let up, you know,” was often remarked
to him by men who regarded this sally as
the most brilliant imaginable wit.
Don Carlos believes the Cuban rebels
ought to be put down, and immediately
after his arrival in this country, got the
same idea regarding hotel bills.
OUR UNCLE SAMUEL.
Tlie Omens Favorable to Ills Election.
[From the St. Louis Republican.]
A week or two ago the Republican called
attention to the fact that fate had seem
ingly preordained tie success of the
Democratic party in the Hpproaching
Presidential election by making the fourth
of March, 1877, as the date of a new
epoch, when a national house cleaning
should be commenced, tho corruption
and tyranny which have ruled in the
White House for eight years be swept
away, and an era of prosperity and
peace begin under the rule of Presi
dent Tilden. That the Presidential
term beginning on March 4, 1877, would
inaugurate a new epoch was shown by
the fact that it comes on Sunday, which
is the beginning of a new week, and
the national house-cleaning will, there
fore, commence with Tildeu's inaugura
tion the following Monday,the very day set
apart by immemorial usage for such ope
rations. Lest it should be imagined that
Presidential terms have so frequently
begun on Sunday that there is no signifi
cance in that fact, it was stated that this
has happened only twice before in the
history of the Republic, first, when Jas.
Monroe was inaugurated the second time
in March, 1821, nnd next when Zachary
Taylor was inaugurated in March, 1849.
It might have been added that after
March, 1S77, it will not occur again until
March, 1917, forty years hence.
To those who believe in omens this will
be readily taken as a sign of the future,
and when it is discovered that its indica
tions are confirmed by many other stiff
more f ivorable auguries of Tilden’s suc
cess, ti e hand of fate is apparent even to
those \\ ho are proof against superstition.
Let the curious go over the list of Presi
dents, for instance, and make a no;e of
the number with names ending in N, as
Tilden’s does, they will find Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van Buren,
Harrison, Buchanan, Lincoln and John
son, just one half of tho whole illustrious
line, which seems to show that N is a very
lucky letter for the Presidential candidate
to have at the end of his name. But our
Uncle Sammy’s name begins as well as it
ends. The first letter of his name is S,
which is the nineteenth letter of the al-
phet, aod in consonance with the other
striking coincidences which mark the De
mocratic candidate as the next occupant of
the White House, there have been just
eighteen Presidents, so that Tilden will
be just what his initial letter indicates,
the nineteenth President of the United
States.
But the coincidences do not stop with
this and there is yet a more remarkable
one than any instanced so far. The tick
ets put in ihe field by the Democratic and
Republican parties, which everybody ad
mits will carry all the States of the Union,
are: S. Tilden and T. Hendricks, and B.
Hayes aud W. Wheeler. Taking the or
der in which the various letters compos
ing those names stand in the alphabet,
just as S was found to be the nineteenth,
and adding them together, it will be found
that tho aggregate i3 369, exactly tho
number of votes in the next electoral
college, of which the names of S. Tilden
aud T. Hendricks make up 194, a clear
mujonty of the electoral vote. The fol
lowing tabular exhibit will make the
point plain :
S. TILDEN.
19—2:—9—VI—4—5-14 S3
T. HENDRICKS
20 s_5—14-4—IS—9—3—11—19 Ill
194
R. HAYES.
IS—S—1—25—5—19 76
W. W H E E L E R.
23—23—S—5—5—12-5—IS 99
175
Total electoral vote 369
It is quite an easy thing to count 194
votes that Uncle Sammy is sure to get,
but as there are several States ordinarily
put in the doubtful column and several
more under the menace of the military,
there are so many ways of footing up the
required 194 votes, that the Republican
leaves that for the curious to do accord
ing to their own judgment. So far as
signs are concerned, it has shown enough
of them in Uncle Sammy's favor to con
vince any one believing in them that he
is the lucky man of this campaign.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
How It Should Be Brough* About.
[From the Rome Daily News.]
Much is being said about the refusal
of the State Democratic Convention to
pass a resolution requesting the next Le
gislature to caff a constitutional conven
tion. We were present, heard the reso
lutions read, original and substitutes, and
if our recollection serves us right, they
did not call for a convention direct, but
for the Legislature to submit the question
to the people, whether they desired a
convention or net.
While w*e favor a Constitutional Con
vention, we at the same time were oppos
ed to the resolution, and would have so
voted had we been a delegate. Let the
Legislature caff a convention direct, as
one election is enough. If the people
favor a convention, which is claimed to
be so, no necessity exists for two elec
tions.
We paid particular attention to the
speeches on the resolutions referred to,
and heard no man oppose the caff of a
convention. TLose who opposed the reso
lution, did not do so on the ground of
opposition to a convention, but urged
each delegate to go home and submit the
question to the people of their respective
counties, and let them, by vote, instruct
their members elect to the Legislature to
caff a convention.
We can see no good that will result
from this discussion through the papers.
In Floyd county we are making the call
of a convention a direct issue. Let every
county in the State do the same thing, and
no necessity will exist for resolutions to be
passed by State conventions. What good
would the passage of the resolution have
done. No county would have paid the
least attention to it, and it would have
been simply a recommendation to the
General Assembly, and not binding on
any member of that body. But when
elected by their constituency under in
structions to call a convention, then there
is no chance to dodge the issue. Papers
that complain of the action of the con
vention, it seems to us, from the wide
range they take, merely heard of the res
olutions, but did not hear them read and
discussed, else they would not shoot so
wide the mark.
Would it liave been prudent to pass the
resolution at the night session ? We think
not, and for the reason that the conven
tion was slimly attended, a large number
of the delegates being absent at the grand
jubilee in front of the Kimball House.
Our recollection is, that not more than
one hundred and thirty delegates were
present, and we have no doubt a good
many of the counties were not represent
ed at all.
Let us stop fault finding and brings our
efforts and talents to bear upon the great
work that is before us. No election in
the last hundred years was so pregnant
with good or bad results, and are we to
fritter away this opportunity of placing
our government on a firm substantial
basis by wraDgling among ourselves?
Leave these family quarrels to be adjusted
when the great work of reform is com
pleted, and when our people can say we
all stand equal before the law.
Morton’s harangue is a remarkable
production. It surpasses all the previous
efforts of Morton in the same direction.
We have never read anything at all ap
proaching it in absolute fury and violence
of expression. Its charges against the
Democratic party and the people of the
South sound like the curses of some cul
tivated fiend. Its falsehoods, slanders
and insensate vinifications might have
emanated from a demon of hell* The
speech can hardly injure the cause of
Tilden and reform.—Evansville {Ind.)

THE STATE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
Duty of the I.egi»lature of Georgia.
[From the Cartersville Express.]
It will be remembered that an effort
was made during the last session of our
State Legislature to secure an appropria
tion for additional accommodations to
be made for the unfortunates of the State
known as lunatics and idiots. It will be
further remembered that the history of
that session was marked by a weakness
aud indifference to the real wants of the
State that was simply painful to all true
Georgians whose hearts ever respond to
the great impulses of charity and philan
tropy. Our lunatic asylum was already
over crowded with inmates, and the
cry at its door for admission for others,
aid the response was there were no fur
ther accommodations, and scores were
being turned back to their homes and
families with no means of caring for or
providing for them with the proper trt at
ment. The voice of appeal went to the
Lsgislature in piteous accents that should
have touched every heart with mercy not
only for the unlortuuate victims, but for
the distressed families and relatives. But
trivial legislation of local character to
give members standing at home consumed
the greater part of the session, and n<'th
ing was accomplished to advance or to
promote and make more effective in its
objects the lunatic institution of the
State.
Judge Benjamin H. Bigham, of La
Grange, recently wrote an able article in
favor of an appropriation to extend and
increase the accommodations of the S ’ate
Lunatic Asylum, in which there are now
more than six hundred inmates. AsLort
time ago Judge Bigham addressed a cir
cular to the Ordinaries of the State ask
iDg from the best information they co Id
get as follows, to wit:
The number of lunatics (white) male
and female.
The number of lunatics (colored) male
and female.
The number of idiots (white) male aud
female.
The number of idiots (colored) male
and female.
The number of these classes in jail
The number sent to other States for
treatment.
Judge Bingham says many Ordin:. ies
have responded and others delay repl es,
but it is confidently expected all will 1. iv»-
the philanthropy to give this mucL aid
to the helpless class to the end tha we
may know the number in the State, and
the General Assembly and the public
may know the facts. From replie.s in
land, Judge B. states it is fair to estimate
there are unprovided for nearly two Lun
dred of these unfortunates. These can
not, of course, be provided for by private
means and have the care necessary to
their peculiar condition. No family,
however wealthy, can do this.
To say nothing^ of charity—placing
the whole question as a matter of public
economy—we find the jail expenses in
curred in the confinement of these pe pie
who cannot be provided for at the asylum
largely overbalance the appropriation ex
pected. In Troup county alone, Judge
Bigham informs us, these expenses
reached last year one hundred doffirs,
and it is gone, having served its tern
porary purpose. There are one hundred
and thirty-seven couni ies in the State,
and this estimate would make for jail
expenses a year $13,700.
The proposition is to get the General
Assembly to appropriate money enough
to extend the accommodation at the State
Asylum sufficiently to meet the demands
of an unfortunate class of our citizens
who cannot be properly taken care of
anywhere else. Let the humane people
of Georgia see to it that men are sear- to
the next Legislature with sufficient
breadth of mind and depth of philan
thropy to comprehend the importance
of this great and overshadowing subject
of the State’s charity.
Heavy Cotton Presses.
[From the New Orleans Bulletin.]
The telegrams from Europe yest. rday
brought news of a very important and
exciting nature to the cotton frateraity.
A convention of eighteen representatives
of the trade met in London on the 9th
inst. to discuss American cotton as 1 ffect-
ed by the system of increased pressure
now coming into general use in this
country. Mr. Samuel Simpson, a promi
nent cotton dealer of this city and
well known as a merchant of pro
gressive views aDd large experience,
presided; Mr. Forwood. of Liverpool,
and also of the house of Pirn, Forwird A*
Co., of New* Orleans, participated in the
proceedings. There was, indeed, a pre
ponderance of American delegates, the
convention being composed of eight
American, three Dutch, one London and
six Liverpool representatives. Thus con
stituted, then, was the body which
unanimously adopted the following very
startling resolution, apropos of the im
proved presses now rapidly supplanting
the old ones in oar trade:
“Mr. Nicholson, of Liverpool, moved
that Liverpool drawn samples”of Ameri
can cotton are on an average worse in
appearance, and consequently in class,
by 1-1 fid. to £d. per pound than those
drawn in America before the cotton is
compressed, and that severe pressure will
further deteriorate the class.”
44 Severe pressure will further deterior
ate the class!” This is a statement cal
culated to provoke comment of the
gravest and most serious kind. For
months and months past the public, and
particularly that large and influential
class devoted to the cotton trad- , has
been taught to regard improved appli
ances for compression as a necessary and
meritorious sttp in the path of commer
cial progress. Mr. John B. Lafitte, a
leading merchant and eminent citi
zen, has made himself conspicuous
by his able and persistent advocacy
of the innovation, through the colu uns of
the daily press as well as by active per
sonal exertion in every practicable way.
Under the influence of this sentiment, so
assiduously propagated, and so logically
and eloquently sustained, two or three of
our largest presses have invested in the
new machinery, at a cost of about $20,000
in each instance, and some eight or ten
others have already ordered Bimil.ir en
gines, making in all nearly half a million
of dollars now virtually expended 111 what
W’ould seem to be a wild goose chase.
A Scene in tlie House.
Washington, August 14.—The House
was in a pleasant humor this evening un
til a political discussion developed a good
deal of bad blood, and then em ued a
scene of great excitement, which contin
ued for several minutes* Mr. Kasson, of
Iowa, made a political speech, in which
he accused Mr. Tilden of being an advo
cate cf secession and disunion, and of
having offered the resolution in 1864 de
claring the war a failure, and of having
issued a circular in 1868 which was in
tended to work a fraud at elections and
defeat the will of the people.
Mr. Cox denied these statements, and
about half-past eleven o’clock he got the
floor ana alluded to Mr. Kosson as the
defender of Belknap and the apologist of
post traders. Mr. Kasson pronounced
that an untru h, and asked the Chair if
one member was to be permitted to tell
untruths about another ? Mr. Cox, very
much excited, left his seat and started for
the Republican side, remarking that
Mr. Kasson delibeiately. lied about
Gov. Tilden. Mr. Hoar demanded that
the words be taken down, and in the
meantime a number of Representatives
gathered about Mr. Kasson, when Mr.
Cox, approaching the Iowa member,
shook his fist under his nose. Mr. Ste
venson, of Illinois, placed himself be
tween the gentlemen, when Mr. Cox
pushed him aside and rushed back to bis
own seat.
The offensive language having been ta
ken down it was read at the Clerk’s desk,
when Mr. Randall moved that Mr. Cox
be allowed to proceed in order, and Mr.
Hoar offered a motion to censure Mr.
Cox. The vote was taken on Mr. Ran
dall’s proposition and no quorum voted.
American cotton fabrics are fast push
ing their way into the English market.
They have already a strong bold.
