Albany Xews : “The people in the neigh
borhood of Pelham, Mitchell county, are
somewhat in a state of excitement on ac
count of a terrible crime which has just
been committed in that unusually quiet
community. On Saturday last Sam Scar
borough, who lived in Decatur county, just
on the edge of Mitchell, and John Kieree,
living near Pelham, together with several
others, were going out from Pelham.
Some dispute arose between the two
parties named about a trivial matter.
Kieree, who was considerably under
the influence of liquor, became very much
offended, and tried to borrow a pistol from
his brother, who was in the party. The
brother refused to let him have it, when he
(Kieree) rode back about one mile, to the
residence of a Mr. Howell, snatched a gun
from a rack, and again overtook the party.
Efforts were made to get the guu away from
him, but he promised not to trouble Scar
borough, and they paid nojlurther atten
tion to him. After traveling along about one
mile, Kieree made no demonstration, until
suddenly he rode up by the side of Scar
borough, planted the muzzle against his
6ide, and fired, the ball taking effect. The
wounded man walked a quarter of a mile
after he was shot and on the following
morning died. No effort was made to arrest
Kieree until Suuday evening, and by that
time he had lied to parts unknown. He is a
married man and about thirty years old.
Scarborough was single and about twenty-
two.”

Editor Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tional id :
Are the cotton planters of the State of
Georgia going to submit to the iniquit
ous advance of fifty pounds more of lint
cotton, on the ton, as determined on by
the Guano Kings, while every tiling else
is depreciating in valuation ? After
specie payment has been resumed and
every one else seems determined to have
adopted the fact that they must w’ork
hard, and be willing to take fair remu
neration only for their labor, the guano
men, feeling their might over the most
numerous and powerful clsss of our peo
ple, have concluded to put up their
prices t knowing that the giants (our agri
culturists) are slow to move and will
submit to most anything. Robbed on
all sides, supporting the world, they,
the agriculturists, instead of fighting
those who prey upon them, arc con
tinually skirmishing amongst themselves,
scarcely looking beyond their own noses,
but fattening those who feed upon them.
Why will you cotton planters allow
3’ourselves to be plundered, and show
no resentment? Do you not know’ that
with an old negro man, to whom you
would have to pay Jj*30 and feed, a cart
and horse, the whole affair costing you
$200, you can, in the course of a year,
by hauling truck, viz., leaves, pine straw,
etc., in your lot, at alow calculation,
make you over tw’enty tons of better
fertilizer than you have to pay a five
hundred pounds bale of cotton for,
even wrhen you get a genuine article?
And that old negro would pay for him
self in tending ten acres in corn, besides
feeding j’our stock and looking after
your sows and pigs, and going around
your fences after\*very washing rain to
see that no stock could get in, that so
often you have to delay your best hands
to look after, keeping them from a grassy
piece of cotton that ought to have been
finished while the fence was being ex
amined. Happily, old Columbia is one
county that has determined to call a
meeting and ascertain whether the citi
zens have nerve enough to refuse to
purchase any five hundred pounds
hale of cotton (for a ton) guano.
We cotton planters know from the
style that guano agents go in, the cham
pagne they drink, carriages they ride in,
and palatial manufactories and store
houses that that odoriferous compound
is manufactured and stored in, that they
need be in much worse plight financially
than the one who digs it out of the
earth, or spreads it under his cotton
beds. Contrasts are sometimes odious
as well as odoriferous. Like the cotton
sample war that raged here some time
since, perchance this fifty pounds in
crease is also to inure to the benefit of
the good natured, but ignorant, blinded

Very different %vas tire policy of tbe
first settlers of New England and their
treatment of the Indians; and how- little
they understood the true character of
William I’enn and his friends, may be
learned by tbe following copy, of an
original letter of Cotton Alatber, dis
covered among some old papers in the
Massachusetts Historical Society., It
bears date “September ye 15, 10S3,” and
is addressed to “Ye aged and beloved
John Higginson:”
“There be now at sea a shippe (for

to Master Malacbi Huxlett, of ye bngg

Congress ha. been in session for (JJ®
weeks, and up to Tuesday thore mm ton
introduced in tie Senate 1,042 bills, and
in the House 5,861.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 24.—The Vice
President laid before the Senate a memorial
of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. An
thony and other officers of the National
Woman’s Suffrage Association, praying the
passage of a joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States to prohibit the several States from
disfranchising persona on account of sex.
Referred to the Committee ou Privileges aud
Elections.
A bill was introduced bv Mr. Grover to
restrict the immigration of Chinese to the
United States. Referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Saulsbury called up the resolution
submitted by him, calling upon the Secre
tary of the Treasury for information in re
gard to the commissions paid bankers and
others for negotiating the sale of United
States bonds; whether interest had been
paid on called bonds at the same time that
interest was accruing on bonds sold to re
deem the same; how much double interest
was so paid; whether the proceeds of bonds
sold had been allowed to remain on deposit
with national bauks acting as government
depositories, etc.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, submitted an
amendment providing that the information
heretofore communicated to either House
of Congress shall not be repealed, but refer
ences to the document where the same is to
be found shall be made,and the names of sub
scribers to the popular loan, since June,
1^77, to whom no commissions had been
paid, may be omitted. The amendment was
accepted by Mr. Saulsbury, and the resolu
tion agreed to as amended.
The Senate was principally' engaged on
the post route bill conference report, which
at last session was not acted upon.
The House conferees have refused lo con
sider the bill as the clause therein allowing
books to come in free through the mails, in
pursuance of the postal treaty union, may
be regarded as a revenue measure, and as
such should have originated in the House.
The bill also contains the Brazilian mail
steamship subsidy clause, and provides for
renewing the ftrnking privilege, both of
which are regarded by some as separate
measures. After considerable debate the
question of parliamentary law and the
privileges of each House involved in this
report were referred to a committee of five.
Mr. Edmunds again renewed his motion
to take up his resolution ratifying the recent
constitutional amendments. Several dilatory
motions were interposed, and pending the
original motion the Senate adjourned.
In the House, a proposition to have the
sugar bill made the special order for Wed*
nesday next was objected to by Mr. Banks
of Massachusetts.
A resolution was adopted instructing the
Ways and Means Committee to consider the
feasibility of enacting a law equalizing the
internal revenue tax among the States.
The census bill was made the special
order for the second Tuesday in February.
The House went into committee of the
whole on the private calendar. Almost all
the war claim bills were objected to by Mr.
Bragg, of Wisconsin.
Mr. Banning presented a substitute for
tbe array organization bill, which was
ordered printed.
Mr. Sayler introduced a bill for the ex
tension of the privileges of Cincinnati as a
port of entry. Referred.
The House is in session to-night for busi
ness of the Judiciary Committee.

thence from point to point, as required, and
test the effects of low temperature in extin
guishing the germs of fever on board infect
ed ships and iu other localities.
CHANGES CONTEMPLATED BY THE VATICAN.
London, January 24.—The Daily Tele
graph's Paris dispatch says: “It is rumored
that Monsignor Koucetti, Apostolic Inter
nuncio, who lately rendered good service
at Rio de Janeiro, is in accord with the con
ciliatory views prevailing at the Vatican,
and will shortly replace Monsignor Meglia,
Apostolic Nuncio, here. It is also hinted
that the Pope intends changing representa
tives of the Vatican at Vienna, Lisbon and
Madrid.”

ACTION OF CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
Washington, January 24.—In the Potter
Committee yesterday, the resolution of Mr.
Reed, providing that Mr. Tilden be allowed
to be represented at the meeting of the com
mittee by counsel, was tabled instead of ac
cepted as heretofore stated, the Demo
cratic members voting against the measure.
The Senate Committee on Finance to-day
devoted another session to the considera
tion of the House bill amendatory of the in
ternal revenue laws, acted on an additional
number of details, but again adjourned
without reaching the clauses which provide
for reducing the tobacco tax.
The Senate Committee on Territories
heard Col. B. Grafton, the attorney repre
senting the Chickasaw nation, in an oral
argument against the proposed legislation
for opening up the Indian Territory to gen
eral settlement. All the other arguments
were printed, and the committee will, at the
next meeting, decide upon the character of
their report.
The House Committee on Commerce to-day
resolved to postpone further consideration
of the bill to give registers to foreign-built
ships purchased by American citizens, be
cause of a lack of time to give to the bill the
attention which its importance requires, in
addition to the farther fact that, owing to
the pressure of public business, there will
be no opportunity to take Congressional
action upon it.
the potter committee.
Washington, January 24.—Before the
Potter Committee to-day the witness St.
Martin was put through a rigid course of
examination by the Chairman. He admitted
there were indictments pending against him
iu Louisiana, one for shooting and two for
cutting, but thought, as he was but twenty-
four years of age, he was getting along very
well end considered hi6 record a very fair one.
When at New Oileans lie told Mr. Stenger
that witnesses were being bought, aud men
tioned, as an instance, that one Staysee
wanted one thousand to testify. After he
(St. Martin) come to Washington Maddox
offered him one thousand dollars to with
draw his affidavit. Acklin and Gibson
come in after the offer was - made, and
the witness,thinking it a fixed plan to entrap
him,refused the money and left. At the close
of the examination Springer announced his
objection to placing St. Martin’s affidavit ou
record, as it was evidently a mass of false
hoods. The testimony of St. Martin is in
consistent aud rambling. He will be further
examined to-morrow.
CABINET SESSION—WASHINGTON ITEMS.
Washington, January 24.—To-day’s was
the lengthiest Cabinet session for a year.
The principal subject discussed was
the arrearages pension bill. Members of
the Cabinet were reserved as to the dispo
sitiou of the measure, but it is believed Mr.
Hayes approves it. Indian affairs received
attention, but as no definite information
has b£en received regarding Sitting Bull’s
latest movement., no definite action was
reached. It is believed this Chieftain has
crossed and recrossed the border several
times, and would remain altogether on this
side, but he fears the consequences.
The Director of the Mint, Lindermau, is
dying.
The eighty-fourth call fo!*>lie redemption
of 5-20 bonds was issued to-day. The
amount called for is twenty millions, half
coupon aud half registered bonds.
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RU380-TURKISH
TREATY—ENGLAND AND AFGHANISTAN.
St. Petersburg, January 24.—The Golos
complains of delay in the signing of the
definitive treaty between Russia and Tur
key, aud advises the Russian Government
not to hurry about evacuation, and says that
Russia’s opponents are intriguing to delay
the settlement of the Eastern Roumelian
questions until the departure of the Russian
army. It is therefore advisable, says the
(lotos, that the troops should remain at
Adrianople until April, so that the Porte
may still feel the influence of- their presence
when the result of the election of a Prince
of Bulgaria is declared.
The Gdos in another article says : “Eng
land is de fact sovereign in Afghanistan aud
has every chance for carrying through her
plans in Asiatic Turkey.”
A HOAX OR A DELUSION—WORK RESUMED.
London. January 24.—The owners of the
ship Ralston, whose Captain is credited with
the letter to the Admiralty, published yes
terday, reporting suspicious acts of an un
known steamer, fifty miles west of Fastnet,
announce their conviction that the affair is
either a hoax or a delusion.
Tbe strikiug operatives of the Blackburn
cotton mills have resumed work at former

THE BULGARIAN CONSTITUTION.
Tirnova, January 24.—The constitution
for Bulgaria has been ratified by the Czar
of Russia, and has arrived here. It will be
translated into the Bulgarian language and
communicated to the foreign Consuls and
the Bulgarian Assembly. The time con
sumed in translation will retard the meet
ing of the Assembly to the 10th of February,
when it will be opened by Korsakoff, Rus
of Bi *
sian Governor c
Bulgaria.
PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER RESTORED TO
OFFICE.
Richmond, Va., January 24.—The East
Hanover Presbytery to-day, by a vote of
fifteen to six, removed sentence of suspen
sion from Dr. E. P. Baird, late Secretary of
the Presbyterian Board of Publication, who
was suspended last year for alleged irregu
larities in connection with the funds of the
concern, and restored him to his office in
the gospel ministry.

The motion in favor of amnesty will be pre

A Baby in a Well.
Sacramento Record-Union.
At Hooseville, a few days ago, the
little son of a widowed lady—a child
three or four years of age—while play
ing at a well fell into it. His fall w:is
observed, and parties went to his rescue.
It was found that he was on the surface
of the w'ater, which was about twenfy
feet deep, clinging to something, and
apparently unhurt. The people cast
ab6ut for means to save him, but found
that the well-rope was not strong enough
to sustain the weight of a man, and it
would be dangerous to the child, to say
nothing of anything else, for any one to
try to descend. \V hile the messenger
was hastening for a strong rope the well
bucket was placed iu the child’s reach,
and he was directed to get into it and
hold on to the rope. The littje fellow,
in an effort to do as he was told, put
his feet on the edge of the bucket and
clasped the rope with his Lauds; then
those above him commenced to draw him
up. It was a moment of intense sus-
pense; scarcely a breath was drawn, as
with exceeding care the rope was han
dled and the bucket gradually ascended
with the brave child clinging to it cour
ageous^. If he Inst h 5 s hold and fell,
he doubtle&3 would perish, for it was al
most too much to expect that he could
fall twice into such a perilous place
and escape. But gradually the bucket
ascended, slowly' and surely, and when
at last the boy was where he could be
reached aud a strong hand grasped him,
there was a grand shout ftf rplief f*om
all. And the gratification was increased
w’hen it was subsequently found that he
was not hurt at all.
Lead Poisoning from Tin Dishes.
Cases of lead poisoning by the use of
tin dishes are said by the Boston Journal
of Chemistry to have occurred. The poi
soning occurs from using an alloy of tin
aud lead to cast the sheet iron in the
process of manufacturing the tin from
which the dishes are made. If good tin
is used, there is very little danger from
the use of tin dishes, but it is these cheap
tin dishes which are coated with an alloy
of tin and lead. The alloy is readily
acted upon by acids, and salts of lead are
thus introduced into food. The Michi
gan State Board of Health has lately
been investigating this subject, having
been led to Jo so bv a letter from a
physician, who found that certain cases
of what had been taken for chorea were
really paralysis agitans, which could be
traced to this kind of lead poisoning.
Other cases were brought to light in
Which children had died of meningitis,
fits and paralytic affections, caused bv
milk kept in such vessels, the acid in the
fluid having dissolved the lead. Malic,
citric and otheriruit acids are of course
quicker and more energetic iu their ae*
tion upon the pernicious alloy. The
danger is the greater because the lead
salts are cumulative poisons. The effect
of the one or two small doses may not t>e
perceptible, but infinitesimal doses, con
stantly repeated, will, in the end, prove
injurious, if not fatal. Analysis of a
large number of specimens of tin plate
used in culinary articles, showed the
presence of an alloy, with lead in almost
every instance, and often in large quan
tities. It is safe to assert, says the Jour
nal of Chemistry, that a large portion of
the tinned wares in the market are unfit
for use on this account. i

Special Correspondence of the Morning News.
Atlanta, January 23.—Mild weather
again, with Impending rain.
The. printer made me say Col. Belger was
the “ablest,” not the oldtd Quartermaster.
Smoke has been seen to issue from the
chimney of the Atlanta cotton factory, but
the excitement was only momentary.
There is a prospect of very lively compe
tition in railroad circles here during the
next few weeks. It is difficult to predict
the result at this time.
Mr. J. C. Shaw, of the Central Railroad,
has been at the Markham House for a few
days, and has completed his labors in put
ting the new sleeping car line into full op
eration to Savannah. He is a live repre
sentative of Savauuah interests, aud never
loses a chance to wori^jn his claims for
business.
MINOR TOPICS.
Three Florida excursions are organizin;
to leave Atlanta soon for the “Land of
Flowers” and Havana. Captain Joe Mor
gan’s party leaves on the 28th. Among the
excursionists will be Dr. J. F. Logan, of
this city, a distinguished member of the
State Board of Health, who owns a fine
orange grove at Lake Maitland, in Orange
county.
The appearance of Mr. Bangs as Marc
Antony, recalls to mind the fact that John
Wilkes Booth played that character at the
Winter Garden Theatre, New York, Novem
ber 25, 1804, his brother, Edwin Booth, ap
pearing as Brutus, and his brother Junius
Brutus Booth as Ca9sius, making a most
remarkable cast. April 14, 1805, John
Wilkes Booth made his last appearance ou
the stage, at Ford’s Theatre iu Washington
iu a terrible tragedy of real life.
Major VV. J. Houston, the efficient Gene
ral Ticket Agent of the Atlanta and Char
lotte Air-Line Railroad, has gone to New
York to meet the Swiss party of immigrants
to which 1 referred iu my last letter. This
is but the prelude to a large tide of foreign
immigration that is expected to pour into
our State along the line of the Atlanta and
Charlotte Air-Line Railroad. Let South
Georgia wake up and secure her share.
As a correspondent, my motto is the lan
guage of CoL M. T. Elevator; -‘Make no
mistake.” But mistakes will occur in the
best regulated correspondence. I am happy
to say, however, that your Valdosta correc
tor of my statement in regard to Marthas-
ville, that it was named for Martha Ann
Lumpkin, is an error. Atlanta was not, as
Marthasville, named for Martha Mitchell,
Col. Peters, G. VV'. Adair and other old set
tlers being my authority for this re-affirma
tion of my former statement.
During the session of the Methodist
General Conference iu this city, in May
last, appeals were made in behaif of the
Publishing House at Nashville, to save it
from bankruptcy and destruction, in the
expectation that Congress would pass the
then pending claim for use aud damage of
the building during the war by Federal
troops. The recent adverse action of Con
gress in regard to William and Mary Col
lege, of Virginia, strikes a death blow to
all hope of relief for the Publishing House,
and the Southern Methodist Church will he
obliged to rely solely upon the sale of bonds
aud contributions to redeem the House.
PRESENTATION OF PRIZES.
The prizes for the individual contest at
the State military driil for the champion
ship of the State, are now ready for de
livery.
On Tuesday night, at the armory of the
Gate City Guards, the “third prize” was
presented to Private VV. M. Haig, of that
company, and also a prize to Sergeant E.
VV. Reinhardt, who was champion for 1877.
The prizes are copies of the “Roster of
Volunteer Military Organizations of Geor
gia,” beautifully bound in blue and gold,
and containing also an “Autograph” and a
“Scrap Book” department. The volume is
13 by 15, and is ihe most elegant volume
ever issued from the Southern press.
Capt. Hugh Dunne, of the Franklin Steam
Printing House, made the presentation for
the donor, as it was his skill as a binder that
gave the “Roster” its elegant and attractive
finish. Speeches were delivered by Capt.
Burke and others, which made the occasion
a very enjoyable one. The championship
“Roster” will be presented to Private Ed
wards, of the Macon Volunteers, and the
second prize “Roster” to Corporal E. VV.
Cubbedge, of the Savannah Cadets, during
the next ten days. The prize drill page of
the “Roster” has this reference to the Ca
dets: “The Savannah Cadets, as a squad,
carried off the highest honors.” On this
account a prize “Roster” will also be pre
sented to the company, through Lieut. VV'.
M. Mills, who commanded the squad with
credit to himself and honor to the com
pany.
DEATH OP A GOOD MAN.
The telegraph announces the death of Hon.
George S. Hillard (not Hilliard), of Boston,
a lawyer and Whig politician of note, and an
accomplished author.
W’hen Boston celebrated Gen. Lee’s sur
render, among the speakers was Mr. Hillard
who, being a McClellan Democrat, spoke In
high terms of Gen. Lee and his “magnanim
ity'’ in declining to waste the lives of his
trusty soldiers iu a useless prolongation of
the war. For this he was hissed from the
platform, a discourtesy which deeply affect
ed his noble and sensitive heart for years
after,
Mr. Hillard was an old time Whig gentle
man of the R. C. Winthrop school, retiring
in his manners, yet scholarly and gifted as a
writer and an orator. I have never known a
more just and conscientious public man, and
these virtues served to keep him in retire
ment after the war, when a new element en
tered our political circles.
He was a man of remarkable industry,
and in Us last letter, which lies before me
now, he utters a great truth. Writing of a
distinguished man whose eiflogy he had just
read, he says: “1 honor him especially for
his industry—the first of virtues and the best
of talents.” VVe should do well to remem
ber that without industry all other virtues
and talents would be comparatively fruitless
and valueless in the world's prowess and re-
demption,
CARVER AND BGGARDU5.
As there seems to be quite a good deal of
discussion in regard to the merits of these
two wing shots, and some misunderstanding
as to their past record, the following official
statement will be of interest :
At Gilmore’s Garden, New York, January
3d, 1S78, Captain Bogardus broke Jive thou
sand glass balls, thrown from two of his
traps, in eight hours and thirty-five seconds,
using a double barrelled shot gun, and load-
! ~S it himself.
Dr. Carver, at the Driving Park, Brooklyn,
July 13, 1878, broke five thousand five huiulrt a
glass balls, thrown by hand, iu seven hours
thirty minutes and thirty seconds, with a
Winchester repeating rific, his assistant load
ing for him.
These are the greatest feats of endurance
yet undertaken by Captain Bogardus and
Dr. Caryer, and furnish the only safe basis
upon which to judge of the result of their
jroposed match for next fall, in which each
s to break twenty thousand glass balls against
time, the one performing the feat in the
shortest time to win the ten thousand dol
lar stakes, with other perquisites.
Captain Bogardus recently broke six thou
sand glass balls, but the official record is not
yet published, in the proposed match tbe
floal result will depend upon the powers of
endurance of the two contestants. Dr. Car
ver has a stronger eye aDd a more powerful
body than Captain Bogardus, but whether
he can endure one hundred and forty-four
hours of glass ball breaking 16 yet an open
question. Captain Bogardus is to use a shot
gun, but Dr. Carver can use either a shot
gun or rifle. The former is his own backer,
while a well known Georgian, Colonel W.
H. Huntley, of LaGrange, is Carver’s sup
porter. Chatham.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Benedict Arnold's Narrow Escape
from Death at the Hands of
Woman.
New York Times.
The recent death of Mrs. Ann Ilin
man Kellogg, of Fairfield, Conn., in the
93d year of her age, recalls an unrecord
ed incident of the war of the Revolution.
Mrs. Kellogg was the daughter of Capt.
Elisha llinman, of the United States
navy, and her mother was the only
American who remained in New Lon
don when the town was destroyed by the
traitor, Benedict Arnold, in 1781. At
that time Capt. Iliuuian’s ship was hour
ly expected to arrive at New London,
aud it was hoped that he might come in
time to save the town. Mrs. Hininan
was well acquainted with Arnold, as he
had often dined at her house, aud been
a friend of her husband. Induced by
anxiety for her husband’s safety, she re
mained after all others had tied, aud
watched the entry of the British from
the doorway of her house. As
Arnold rode up, he saw and
saluted her, aud said that if she
would point out her own property it
should be spared. She pointed out the
houses of several of her neighbors as her
own, and thus saved them from destruc
tion. Arnold remained ou horseback
near her house nearly all day', noting the
battle that w’as raging at Fort Griswold
on the Groton side of the river, where
the tall monument commemorating the
event now stands. Three times were the
British driven down the hill by T the
deadly tire from the fort. Then the am
munition of its defenders became ex
hausted. aud they were obliged to surren
(ler. The British officer iu command of
the storming party was so enraged at the
desperate defense of the fort that, as he
entered it, he asked: “Who commands
here?” Colonel Ledyard replied: “I did,
but you do now,” at the same time sur
rendering his sword. The officer re
ceived the sword and instantly' plunged
it into the heart Qf the gallant
Colonel. An American officer, stand
ing beside his Colonel, snatched his
own sword from its scabbard and in a
moment the cowardly Briton lay dead
beside his victim. An indiscriminate
massacre of all within the fort followed,
and thirty of the wounded Americans
were piled into a wagon that was rolled
down a steep hillside to the bottom,
where it was dashed in pieces against a
tree. Then hurried preparations were
made to evacuate their positions by r the
British, Arnold having learned of the ex
pected arrival of Capt. Hininan. Mrs.
Hinman, having witnessed these out
rages from her housetop, became so in
censed against the traitor that she hur
riedly descended from the roof, took a
musket from a closet where it had been
li-ft the day before by an American sol
dier, and leveled it at Arnold as he sat
on his horse in front-of the house. Tak
ing a long, steady aim, she pulled the
trigger, but the piece missed fire. Hear
ing Ihe snap of the lock, Arnold turned
and asked her what that noise was.
With great presence of mind she had
dropped the gun, so that he did not see
it, and she answered that it was the
breaking of a chair.
Who is the Journalist?—The idea
that General Grant could carry Georgia
in tbe event of his nomination in 1$S0
seems preposterous at first blush, but it
is advanced by a prominent Georgia poli
tician and journalist—a Democrat at
that—who is now in this city, and who
explains that the condition of the De
mocracy in that State is not fraternally
encouraging. He adds that recent ex
posures, implicating many Democratic
leaders in corrupt practices, have si^k
cued the people with Bourbon supremacy
to such ;m extent that they long for a re
turn of a stalwart and decisive adminis
tration of affairs, both in the State and
in the cation.— Washington Republican.
The Stolen Cipher Dispatches.
Baltimore Sun.
Now that Mr. Potter has obtained
from Congress an additional appropria
tion to enable bis committee to enter
upon an investigation of the cipher dis
patches of which what purported to be
iranslations were published by the New
Y'ork Tribune, the manner in which they
were obtained hhs been explained by
Dr. Green, the President of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. In an in
terview had with him by a correspon
dent of the New Y'ork Herald, Dr.
Green emphatically denied that the dis
patches were divulged by any officer or
agent of the company. He went on to
show how they were taken out of the
custody of the company and turned over
to a committee of the United States Sen
ate, of which the late Senator Morton was
Chairman. The first demand was made
by Mr. Morrison,of the House, for certain
telegrams that had passed between Wm.
E. Chandler and other Republican mana
gers during the electoral contest in the dis
puted States. Immediately thereafter a
counter resolution was offered in the
Senate by Mr. Morton, calling for all
telegrams that had passed between cer
tain points within a certain time and re
lating to the Presidential election.
Strenuous resistance was offered by' the
late President Orton and the Executive
Committee of his company to the de
livery of the telegrams. Their arrest
followed, and by advice of counsel they
surrendered the telegrams called for, and
numbering 29,500, to the Morton com
mittee. Why the telegrams particu
larized by Mr. Morrison, and whose
resolution*had precedence of that of Mr.
Morton's, .were not surrendered to Mr.
Morrison's committee, but that all were
turned over to the Republican commit
tee of the Senate, lir. Green does not
explain. He does show that all these
telegrams were in possession of the Sen
ate committee froirf January' 24 to March
1877; that they were spread unon
the table of the committee room and re
mained there over night, and that it was
alleged they were safe because every
night the door of the room was locked.
The committee, sitting with closed
doors, nobody,” said Dr. Gre?n, “could
tell what was done witli the dispatches. ”
When, on March 27, the telegrams were
returned to the ttlC^ram company,
“somebody,” said Dr. Green, “ had
stolen those published by the New York
Tribune and got some expert to decipher
them.” This explanation completely
exonerates the Western Union Telegraph
Company from being a party to the
theft. The remainder of the dispatches
were subsequently burned, so that
there is small prospect of know
ing what the Chandler dispatches,
called for by Mr. Morrison, contained.
It is, nevertheless, of essential impor
tance to know how the stolen cipher tele
grams came into possession of the Tri-
hunt ; who the parties were who stole
them,‘and in what manner they got ac
cess to the room where the committee
sat with closed doors when in session,
and the door of which it is alleged was
locked at other times. The New Orleans
Picayune joins with the Herald and the
Sun in urging that the Potter investiga
tion on this head shall be thorough. The
Picayune is of opinion that “strict in
quiry on this point will probably connect
the theft of private correspondence with
the larger theft by which the votes of
three States were stolen from their proper
owners.” However this may be, it is to
be hoped that the Potter committee will
use their utmost efforts to lay bare the
details of the theft and expose to public
condemnation, if not to the justice of the
law, all those who were engaged in it.
EXPOSING A SPOOK SHOWMAN
How tlie .Vfediumifttic- -^Ir. James
Came to Grief in Brooklyn.
A most cruel exposure of a spook
showman has been made in Brooklyn.
There was a mediumistic male Earned
James, showing Oriental spirits and
supernatural things. Of course he had
cabinet, and atteuded to business in the
dark after an examination by a commit
tee. Some inquirers for truth noticed
that Mr. James was particular about the
handling of his clothing, and one of the
“conditions” of producing ghosts was
that his hands and clothing were not to
be touched. The seekers for pure truth
agreed quietly that they would investi
gate Mr. James a little, and the seance at
Everett Hall, on Sunday* night (5th inst
was taken advantage of with that pur
pose. The conspirators contrived to be
represented on the committee to examine
the medium before he entered the cabi
net. and this, according to the Eagle,
what happened:
“Before he went into, the cabinet, out
of which the materialized spirits w r ere to
come, Mr. Tice retired with his associates
into an ante-room. The medium cau
tioned them not to shake his hand or
handle him or his clothes. He took off
his clothing, directing the committee to
lay it on a chair. The coat was carefully
laid aside, then the vest, and finally the
pantaloons. 3Ir. Tice took up the me
dium’s coat. The medium instantly
jumped up aud tried to rescue the gar
ment from Mr. Tice. Mr. Tice deter
iniued that he would not be balked, so he
threw the medium aside and said he was
going to go through that coat, now that
he had it in hand, whatever the conse
quences might be. Mr. Tice being the
stronger man, kept the medium at bay
aud examined the coat. He was
satisfied that it was stuffed all
over. Thereupon he returned
the audience with the coat in his
hand. A great stir followed. Mr. Tice
told the audience that he was satisfied
that the coat was stuffed, and had
brought it out there to have it thorough
ly searched in their presence. Then he
took a kuife and ripped open the lining
of the coat. Out there came Orienta
robes, false braids, turbans anil all arti
cles necessary to clothe the Oriental spir
its and present them in appropriate cos
tume. The articles were of the finest
make aud softest material, so that they
could be easily packed away.
•‘There was a commoliou in the com
pany. They demanded their money
back. The attendant, Oakey, expressed
his ignorance of the deception, and re
turned the money to the audience. The
medium disappeared with his pants and
vest. After the last of the audience had
quitted the building, the impostor came
down from the topmost story, where he
had taken refuge, secured liis coat, and
vanished. He hails from Philadelphia
and is about twenLv-nve years old, and
stands five feet fivc or six.”
Grant and the Real Estate Pool.
Hartford Times Washington Letter.
The secret of the recent sale by Grant
of his real estate in this city for $17,500
lays in the lact, it is said, that he lias run
out of pocket change, and unloaded his
fine house here to recuperate. He has, it
is thought, some other real estate in this
city, besides an interest in the proceeds
of the famous, or infamous, real estate
pool which Congress has twice, but un
successfully iu each case, on account of
the witnesses refusing to disclose the se
cret, investigated.
The real estate pool was the cause of
Hallett Kilbourn, the broker, being sent
to jail by the Glover committee during
the first session of the present Congress.
There never has been any settlement of
the proceeds of the pool speculation, and
will not be until it is done by the courts
before which it is now pending, on ac
count ot a falling out between Kilbourn
and Latta, who was his partner in the
real estate brokerage business.
It is said that Fred Grant took the first
$5,000 of the proceeds of the recent sale
of what is called “Grant’5 Vermont ave
nue house” with him when he sailed to
meet his father on Saturday last. This
sale shows one thing too plain for many
owners of real estate in the same section
of the city, and that is that proper!
not worth as much there as it was when
Grant was supposed to have purchased it
five or si< years ago. It was then worth
$20,000. If he has paid taxes on It since,
he has lost considerable on ii. It was a
poor speculation, as the house has re
mained unoccupied for years.
“Sassifled."
St. Paul Pioneer Press.
A young lady who has been married
about a year, lias often asked her hus
band why he did not some typo came
home “full up,” as ire boasted of getting
before he vyas married. New \ ear’s
day he got out with the boys a little in
the morniqg and before he knew it he
was in the required state. His wife's
request occurred to him, and home he
went. At 5 o'clock in the evening he
woke up and found himself on his own
bed. Conscious of reotitude m having
carried, t^ut his wife's desire, he pre
seated himself before her with the
interrogatory, ,‘Well, darling, how do
you like it ?” Imagine his surprise when
she exclaimed, “I deelarc, John, it is too
bad. I was never so disappointed iu all
my life. You came home at one o’clock,
went into the dining room, sat down with
your overcoat and gloves on, twisted tbe
leg off a turkey and proceeded to eat it,
while you looked up at me with a vacant
stare, and never said a word except,
‘Well, darling, are yer sassifiedf After
a while you stumbled up stairs, telling
me to "set up the cigars for the boys;’
and, after I got your coat and boots off,
you went to sleep murmuring, ‘Are yer
sassilied?' It is aggravating. I thought
you would make things lively, smash the
furniture, tear my dress and make some
fun. And, indeed, I counted on going
shopping with at least $100 in my pocket.
I am satisfied, and you need not try it
again.” He won’t.
Several ex-rebel soldiers say that Grant
pan carry Georgia, Florida, Louisiana
and both the Carolinas in 1880, if Tom
Settle, of North Carolina, is on the ticket
with him. They have a growing respect
for Grant.—Nete York Herald.
We would like to have the names of
those ex-rebels, and especially of those
who assume to speak for Georgia in the
matter.—Avgusta ChrtmkU.
Died at Fra yer.—Mary Lally, a
J oung woman, aged twenty-eight years,
while attending mass at St, James'
Church, Boston, Sunday morning, had
advanced to the chancel rail and par
taken of the sacrament, and kneeling
longer than usual, r>us touched by a
lady, who discovered that she was dead.
She was apparently well until the mo
ment of going to the chancel, and the
cause of her death is a mystery.
The New York Sur. smiles favorably
up jd the proposition to beat Grant by
nominating John Sherman for President.
“He is from Grant's native state,” says
tlie '•an, “and can greatly weaken him
there. Through the influence of his
brother. General Shermen, he can divide
the army influence with Grant."

A Romantic Lawsuit.—A curious
case has just been engaging the atten
tion of the Paris tribunals. A young
man, who lived in a small town in the
wilds of the Russian Steppes many
years ago, gradually improved in his
business until he at length emerged on
the Bourse as the great 51. Meyer Gar-
funkel, the happy possessor of a fortune
of several millions of francs. He had
married a Muscovite of rare beauty—
5IUe. Rosalie Loury—and he ended by
adopting another Mile. Loury, whom
his wife gave out to be her sister. In
187G 51. Garfunkel died, leaving the
bulk of his fortune to his wife ami his
adopted daughter, but excepting there
from the sum of 1,500,000 francs, which
was bequeathed to a Mine. Rabinovitz,
living at the town of Bodmiz, in Russia.
Now,this 5Imc. Rabinovitz has a curious
history, according to her own showing.
She declares herself to be the only
daughter of 51. Garfunkel, by a widow
named Tuoule, whom he wedded in his
poorer days, when he was known as
Aleycr. In support of her pretensions
Mme. Rabinovitz presents several letters
written to herself by the millionaire, in
which he addresses her as ma rhere
que et bien-aimee f/L, and on the
strength of it she claims not merely the
million and a half left her by M. Gar
funkel, but also the money bequeathed
to the two I.ourys. It appears that,
according to the French law as well as
the Russian, no one is allowed to adopt a
child while he has one still living. Hence
M. Garfunklo's act was utterly illegal,
supposing 5Ime. Rabinovitz, or Rebecca,
as she was called, to have been his child.
A most romantic and sensational law
suit has, therefore, originated out of this
case, which has, as I said, already en
gaged the attention of the Paris tribunals.

CELEBRATED .
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver,
T)AIN in the right side, under the
I edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in tbe left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected .rith loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry' cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try' it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory' to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.

COCOAINE,
A Compound of Cocoanut Oil,
For Promoting the Growth and Pre
serving the Beauty of tha Hair.
It softens the hair when harsh and dry. It
soothes the irritated scalp. It affords tho
richest lustre. It prevents the hair from fall
ing off. It promotes Its healthy, rigorous
growth. It is not greasy nor sticky. 11 leaves
no disagreeable odor. It kills dandPulT.
Baldness.
Philadelphia,. May 28,1877.
Gentlemen,—Having used your Coooaixe for
the past ten or twelve years, I take pleasure in
giving as my opinion that no preparation mado
in thi3 country will keep the hair so soft and
glossy, and, at the same time, allay all irrita
tion of the scalp. It will most effectually re
move dandruff, and prevent the hair from
falling out.

Ottawa, III., April 8, 1878.
Messrs. Josepit Bukxett & Co.;
Gentlemen,—For over two years I have suf
fered terribly with *• scald head" In its worst
form. A few weeks ago I tried a bottle of your
Coooazxk. The first application gavo me re
lief, and now the disease is effectually cured.
I cheerfully recommend Burxett’s Cocoaike
to any one suffering with the above complaint.
Yours respectfully,
N. C. STEVENS, Deputy Sheriff.
