TAPPING THE WlltKS.
• In the House yesterday the joint resolu
tion for the abrogation of the Bulwer-
C lay ton treaty was referred to the commit
tee of the whole. Private business was
postponed until to-day, and the House went
into committee of the whole on the special
deficiency bill. After discussion, princi
pally on the marshals’ clause of the bill, the
Senate amendments in relation to special
deputy marshals and the public printing
were concurred in, and the committee rose
and reported their action to the House,
where it was ratified. The House at 4:30 p.
m. took a recess until 7:30 to consider
the bill to establish a municipal
code for the District of Columbia. In the
Senate Mr. Beck stated that in the Record
of Thursday it was stated that the joint
resolution accepting the desk of Thomas
Jefferson had been accepted by the House
in the name of the United States, and by
the Senate in the name of the Nation. Mr.
Wheeler said it was a typographical error.
The post route bill was taken up and
passed, after which the Kellogg-SpofforJ
case was considered, almost up to the hour
of adjournment. It was finally laid aside
until Monday, to which date the Senate ad
journed.
It is stated that Lord Harrington, after
consulting with other Liberal leaders, de
termined not to undertake to form the gov
ernment, but frankly recommended Glad
stone or Granville to be consulted for that
purpose. Both of these gentlemen have
been summoned to Windsor to have an in
terview with the Queen.
The Virginia Radicals, after a long and
heated discussion, yesterday refused to re
commit the resolutions submitted on Thurs
day by a decided vote. But the Straightouts
and the Repudiation wing of the party hope
to secure delegates to Chicago favorable to
their Presidential preferences.
A fire in Amherst, Massachusetts, yester
day morning destroyed the building and
other works of H. D. Feanring & Co. Loss
$100,000. Three hundred hands are thrown
out of employment. Two fires in Rich
rnond, Virginia, yesterday also destroyed
the Richmoud Stove and Architectural Iron\J
Works and J. C. Smith’s block of flag brick
buildings, TbC- ldSK* by the two fires
••amounted to $175,000, partly covered by
insurance.
According to the report of J. H. Fisher,
receiver of the South Carolina Railroad, the
operations of that road from October, 1S7S,
to December 31st, 1879, were: EarniDgs,
$1,423,340; expenses, $874,177—net earnings,
$549,152.
Several witnesses were examined by the
court of inquiry investigating the alleged
outrage committed on Whittaker yesterday.
One of these, one Van Buren, testified to a
conversation with a third party, one John
Dutcher, who told him that Cadet Burnett
had said “that d d black ass would have
to leave West Point pretty soon.” Dutcher,
however, deuied ever making any such
statement. Some of the other witnesses said
they had heard vague reports that Whitta
ker was to be “fixed,” but none of them
could give any positive information on the
subject.
A Cabul dispatclr*ays that General Stew
art entered Ghu/ni on the 20th Inst., after a
successful battle tbe day before, iu which
the Afghans lost more than a thousand
killed. Stewart’s loss was seventeen men
killed and one hundred and fifteen wounded.
The Mail Service.
The subject of a fast mail service be
tween the Northerjj and Southern busi
ness centres has been frequently agitated,
ami, on more than one occasion, such
service has been advocated in these
columns. It is a matter of suck vital
importance to the merchants and busi
ness men of Savannah and her sister
cities that no means for securing
should be left untried.
We are very glad to learn that the
prospects for the dispatch of through
trains to carry the mails only, to do no
local business, and to stop for nothing
but wood and water, between the cities
of Washington, Charleston, Savannah
and Jacksonville, are brighter now than
ever before. The Post Office Depart
meat is, we learn, favorable to such
postal trains, and it is proposed to ask
Congress for an appropriation necessary
for keeping them up.
It is needless to remark that the es
tnblishment of the system of fast mails
would be of incalculable benefit to the
merchants and business men generally
throughout our section. It is not as yet
known exactly to what extent the time
between Savannah and New York would
be shortened thereby, but it certainly
would be reduced several hours, and thus
the numerous important transactions
daily carried on between the great cities
of the North, and the first cotton port of
the South Atlantic, would be expedited to
tbe vast advantage and convenience of
all parties concerned.
These fast mail facilities have long
been enjoyed in the North, and there
no reason why we should not have them
in the South. We trust, therefore, that
the merchants of our city and State, and
the entire press throughout this section
will unite to secure such facilities, and
to impress on our Senators and Reprc
sentatives in Congress the necessity for
granting the appropriation desired for
their establishment.
Lively Times in the Radical Camp,
There is blood on the moon in Wash
ington. For several weeks past there
have been gathering signs of a conflict
between the friends of the rival Repub
lican Presidential candidates, if not be
tween the candidates themselves. It
seems that there are three different bu
reaux at work in the capital sending out
campaign material. Some of the manu
factured paragraphs and ready-made edi
torials have been intercepted, and there
is great excitement and anger in conse
quence. It appears that the third
term managers, growing jealous of
Maine's increasing strength, have
determined to open war on the “plumed
knight” with the avowed purpose of
plucking his feathers and reducing him
to an appropriate degree of humility.
This is the meaning of CarpciRfcFs bitter
but ill-timed assqiift; and the trouble has
only begirt. Moreover, Mr. Sherman is
Watching the trespassers in Ohio with
fire in his eye and a two edged swoxd
between his teeth. When he dashes
forth to protect his damaged fences,
somebody will get hurt. The Ohio con
vention is only a few days off, ar.d things
are getting lively in Illinois. Logan
visit has been fruitless to stem the Blaine
tide in the Prairie State, and this will
put him in fine trim to take a iiand
tbe Senate shindy. Altogether it looks
like lively times just ahead.
The Cowpens Centennial.—Gover
nor Van Zandt, of Rhode Island, has
written a letter to Mayor Courtney, of
Charleston, S. C., in response to the in
vitation from the Centennial Committee
to take part in the celebration of the bet-
tie of the Cowpens in January, 1881.
Governor Van Zandt ^says it will afford
him great pleasure to co-operate with the
Centennial Committee, and expresses the
lielief that the State of Rhode Island,
through its General Assembly, will be
prompt in all proper efforts to assist in
the patriotic purpose. Rhode Island is
the birthplace of Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
of the Continental army, who command
ed the Southern department one hundred
years ago.
A Simple and Duamatic Story.—
The New York Sun gives the follow
ing brief and dramatic story:
"A stalwart negro, with a scowling
face and a gun across his shoulder, suun
tered into a farmyard near Shelbyvilie,
Indiana, and said be had come to kill
the man who lived there. He did not
know this man, but had been told that
he had helped the enemy in a recent
drunken liglir. The intended victim was
hastily hidden, and a summons sent for
several neighbors, who came and shot
the negro.” .
There is, says the Norfolk landmark,
a beautiful simplicity in this narrative,
and a fine climax in the statement that
the neighbors came and shot the negro.
This sounds as if that sort of amusement
was as common as discussions on the
weather, but if a set of Southern people
had perpetrated such an act what a howi
there would have been! Even when
some wretch does violence to a woman
and he is strung up—as he ought to be—
there is a great effusion of cant over it,
and a long sermon about our barbarity,
but when Judge Lynch appears North of
the Potomac nobody whimpers.
New York city has four hundred and
ninety-seven churches., a gain of ninety-
eight in the last ten years, and yet these
have accommodations for not more than
a fourth of the population, should all
wish to go to church at once. The
Episcopalians have the largest number
of churches, but the Catholic churches
have the largest accommodations for
their flocks. There is more than room
enough in the New York churches, it
said, for the church-going people. New
Yorkers do not belong, like the Brooklyn
folks, to the church-going classes, and it
is a sad fact that only a few of the work
ing people, outside of the Catholics, ever
enter a church, except upon special oc
casions.
It will not be very sad news to the
general public to hear that the wheat
market is “demoralized,” and that the,
gravest apprehensions are felt for the
result (by the speculators) unless there is
a strong and speedy reaction. It is
stated that Jim Keene and his associate
operators in wheat have nearly exhausted
their marginal power, and if theiireak
continues it is probable that several fail
ures will result. A heavy decline is pre
dicted by the bear operators on reports
that the European crops will be unusu
ally heavy, causing a falling off in the
demand for American grain. Very little
sympathy will be felt for tbe Keene
combination should they come to grief
in their attempt to put up the prices of
the staff of life.
A Noted Soutii Carolinian on the
Third Term.—Judge Mackey, of South
Carolina, is at present gossiping in
Washington city. He says South Caro
lina is getting on very well nowadays,
increasing in prosperity and content
ment. He is rather inclined to favor the
third term movement, on the ground
that the ex-President is sure to capture
enough Mexican territory to make twen
ty or twenty-five new States, and he
thinks with what the Southern whites
have learned from the carpet-baggers
they will be able to carpet-bag into those
new States and “make New Eugland
grit its teeth by showing what can really
be done in the way of cleaning out a con
quered territory.”
The immense sale of real estate in
New York on Tuesday, in which the
prices were far in advance of what they
would have been a year ago, is a note
worthy sign of the improvement of
property values everywhere. Within a
few months real estate in New York, and,
indeed, in all tbe large cities, has been a
drug on the market, but a marked ad
vance is noticeable, and hereafter prob
ably there will be little difficulty in dis
posing of well located property at remu
nerative prices.
Lieutenant Bateman Declines the
Nomination.
In these days, when nearly every citi
zen, without distinction of race, color or
previous condition, is a politician, when
the time-honored custom is reversed, and
instead of the office seeking the man,
the man seeks the office, it is a rare thing
indeed to find an individual whose ex
ceasive modesty impels him to decline a
“nomination.” It seems, however, that
Lieutenant Bateman, of the United States
revenue service, is a politician of this
rare class, as is shown by the following
letter:
Atlanta, Ga., April 22, 1880.
Lditor Morning Setas: I see by your issue
of the 21st inst. that your special corres
pondent in this city has nominated me for a
position that I do not aspire to, “that of
chief operator of the Sherman forces in
Georgia.”
You well know of my residence in this
State the past two years. I am simply here
as a private citizen, working for the interest
of one that I feel is in every way worthy of
the nomination of the Republican party for
the Presidency.
There are at least twenty five aspirants
for the leadership of each “boom.”
some of them have it.
The nomination of your correspondent,
although kindly meant “as chief operator,”
is respectfully declined with sincere thanks.
Very sincerely, A. E. Bateman.
It will be seen that while Lieutenant
Bateman, with a modesty worthy of all
commendation, does not “aspire” to the
position of “chief operator of the Sher
man forces in Georgia.” he informs us
that he “is simply in Atlanta as a private
citizen working for the interests of one
that he feels is in every way worthy of
the nomination of the Republican party
for the Presidency.” He does not
deny that the “one that” he considers
worthy of that honor is John
Sherman, Chief of the Revenue Depart
ment of the Government. He reminds us
also that he has been a resident of Geor
gia for the past two yeais. Yes, we
know that Lieutenant Bateman has been
an officer of the revenue service, sta
tioned at this port, and, though he
was a short time since ordered to
Washington on special duty, we sup
posed that he was still an officer
in that service and was receiving his pay
a3 such. We were not aware that he
had—as his letter warants us to assume—
resigned his commission and become
‘a private citizen.” If indeed he is no
longer a revenue officer, but simply “a
private citizen.” then he is not in Atlanta
in violation of the rules of official proprie
ty and of civil service order No. 1,
and if he has the time and
money to spare ha9 the same right
as any other private citizen to be in
Atlanta working for the interests of his
choice for the Radical nomination, either
as “chief operator” or as a subordinate
manipulator of the mongrel menagerie,
which, during the past few days, has
disgraced the capital of our State, to
the infinite disgust and mortification of
all decent people- and the great amuse
ment of the thoughtless and shameless
rabble.

The Third Term Question.
In the May number of the North
American Review Judge Black resumes
his series of articles on the third term
juestion, which he begun in the Febru
ary number of the same Review. In his
last paper he discusses the question of
General Grant and Strong Govern
ment,” in answer to Mr. Boutwell’s
paper, strongly advocating the re election
of General Grant to the Presidency, on
the ground that he is the man best fitted
to occupy that office, at this time, to
keep down “the rebel spirit” that still
animates the Democracy, and that what
ever may have been the example set by
Washington and his successors in the
Presidential chair, there is no provision
iu the Constitution forbidding a re-elec
tion of the same person to the Presidency
for a third term, and that the people
the United States “are not to be
bound perpetually either by the written
law of tbe fathers” (meaning the Consti
tut ion of the United States), “or by
their traditions.” To the latter point
Judge Black replies that “a conscience
which is hardy enough to spurn the
restraints of the Constitution need not
affect any remorse for refusing to accept
tradition.” He contends that the
movement for a third term “means
simply a conspiracy to wipe out the
Constitution once for all and have done
with its restraints upon arbitrary power;”
and, further, that “the strong govern
ment idea which has been set forth by
its projectors is manifestly intended to
prepare the minds of the American peo
ple for the advent of despotism.”
Protection of American Interests

ton Roads Wednesday morning for the

man on l>oard. The Star says he will

delena river for his post of duty at

The Mexican Presidential election comes [ acted upon first.
off soon. These elections are always at
tended by disturbances and more or less
fighting—generally more. The in
terests, personal and otherwise, of for
eign residents always suffer. In the
west of the country there is no danger
foreigners, but in the east there is.
There being a largeDumber of American
residents there the Tennessee will make
a point to look after and protect their
interests. It is probable that another
man-of-war will be sent on the same mis
aion.
According to statistics presented to the
Immigration Convention, lately in ses
sion in St. Louis, that city is the healthi
est in the country. The death rate in
New York is 24.93 per 1,000 inhabitants;
in Philadelphia, 17.46; in Boston, 20.3C;
Chicago, 1G.49; Baltimore, 18.44; St.
Louis, 12. This superior healthiness is j
attributed to the excellent drainage rys
tern in St. Louis.
The “ Confederate Brigadiers ” cheer
fully vote many millions annually out of
the pockets of their own people to pay
pensions and arrearages and support
homes for the soldiers who triumphed
over them in the war of the rebellion.
But, says the Washington Pont, when it
is proposed to pension the Mexican
veteians the Republican party solidly
opposes the proposition, because they
fought in a Democratic war, and for the
further reason that many of them reside
in the South.
General Schofield, commanding at
West Point, was of the opinion, upon a
personal investigation of the Whittaker
case, that none of the cadets Wore guilty
of maltreating the colored youth. He
geems to be of the same opinion still.
In an order issued by him Wednesday
be assures the cadets that his faith in
their'-banor and integrity is unshaken.
The loss by the forest fires in New
Jersey is much heavier than the tele
graph gave us any reason to expect.
The total amount of land burned over
was GOO square miles. This land was in
several instances worth $1,000 an acre,
while even the pine lands were valued
at $100 an acre. The total loss will not
fall below $30,000,000.
The New York Pott (Republican) says:
“While some Republicans are calling for
General Grant to chastise the ‘solid
South,’ other and perhaps shrewder Re
publicans are looking to him to divide
it. This 6eems to be his own view as
disclosed in recent flanking speeches, as
they may be calied.”
A committee of the Ohio Legislature
has approved a plau for registering yeas |

be tried.
The coinage of $5,000,000 of gold bul
lion into five and ten dollar pieces, just

A neat little story is told about the
way in which Mr. Jay Gould makes use
of the few social opportunities he enjoys.
Being invited to a private din
ner upon his recent return from the
West, he declared in a post prandial effu
sion to the dozen or so of gentlemen
present that he had made more money
than he could possibly find use for, and
that the great object of his life hence
forth would be to improve the great con
solidated concerns which he now con
trols, and to place them on a basis of
solid, dividend-paying securities. He
suggested indirectly that Union Pacific
would be the first to benefit by the new
consolidated arrangements. Upon hear
ing this, an old gentleman present wert
next morning to his broker and bought
1,000 shaies of the stock at 93 and
fraction. He had to sell it out a few
days later at 88.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany entered into a contract with the
government and broke it; now the com
pany asks to have the contract renewed
after it has appeared beyond question
that the government was paying too
dearly for its whistle. “The estimated
cost of the road is $40,000,000, the land
grant asked for is about 35,000.000 acres,
the value of which is $105,000,000.”
The opponents ot the job are not willing
for the government to build the road,
present it to the company and give the

$65,000,000 for accepting the present
General Joe Johnston has never liked
Congressional life and has declined a re
nomination. He says he is not adapted
for the position. How few men exhibit
an equal modesty and candor.
Special Telegram to the Morning News.
Atlanta, April 23.—The Convention
opened at nine o’clock. Prince, Postmaster
of Augusta, and Chairman of the Commit
tee on Chicago Delegates, moved to have
tbe report of the committee recommitted.
This created a storm of “No ! No!” Prince
said the committee could arrange the matter
satisfactorily in thirty minutes, but a score
of delegates opposed him in an excited
manner. They “didn’t want any ring
tricks in a private committee room, but an
open nomination of delegates in conven
tion.” Wimbi6h, of Atlanta, colored, made
a fierce speech against tricks and
rings, and demanded fair play* and
an open fight for the best men for
Chicago delegates. C. L. Brown, of Sa
vannah, although professing to represent
Bryan county, created a general
row by protesting that everything
was out of order, as Chatham was
not represented in the convention, as
he held in his band the credentials of the
proper Chatham delegation. After raving
like a mad man for five minutes, amidst
great uproar and confusion, he was sup
pressed and silenced. Two sergeants at-
arms were then appointed to keep order and
suppress disorderly members.
After an exciticg debate, largely opposed
to recommittal, a vote was had viva voce al
though demanded by yeas and nays, and the
motion to recommit was declared carried.
The house [refused to entertain appeals, and
committee retired to carry out the ring the
programme.
Dr. West, colored, introduced resolutions
in reference to cadet Whittaker’s case, and
calling upon Hayes to divide his appoint
ments to West Point Academy between
white and colored men. He followed
his resolutions with a stirring speech,
claiming eight cut of eleven of Hayes’ ap
pointments to West Point.
McHenry, of Atlanta, said talk was
cheap. “Stop electing Independent Demo
crats to Congress and send Republicans who
will appoint negroes, as Flipper was ap
pointed.” He opposed Speer, Felton and
Persons, and also declared for men who
would put negroes into the City Council at
th€ next city elections. He wanted no more
fooling by Independent Democrats in State,
county or city.
Wimbish, of Atlanta, colored, said the
Whittaker outrage at West Point exceeded
any in the South, ever reported, by the
Democrats. It was hellish and infamous,
and Hayes and his party should be held re
sponsible for it. As to Independent Demo
crats, he said, “Let us get the best we can.
Speer Is all right, but we must not expect
any favors from them, though supporting
them against the regular nominees of the
Democratic party.”
Jones of Bartow, white, said the fight in
this convention was between Bryant and
Ackerman. This fall the Radicals ought to
desert Felton and go for General Young,
Bourbon Democrat, and get some of the
spoils of office, which they didu’t get under
Felton, although they bad supported him.
Jeff Long,colorcd, offered a substitute de
manding of Hayes the 6ame protection for
colored as white cadets at West
Point. West refused to accept It and
it was voted down. The Chairman
decided that this carried West’s resolution.
A row now ensued and appeals were taken
from the decision of the Chair. Wright,
colored, of Cuthbert, made a strong speech
amidst general applause against the ruling
of the Chair. Pleasants said the Chair was
right, and also that the convention should
adopt the resolutions. It was simply a
misunderstanding of the effect of tabling a
substitute. Whittaker’s was a greater out
rage than any in the South. The resolu
tlons were then adopted with only two
dissenting votes.
The Committee on Delegates at Chleago
reported again, as follows:
State Delegates—Wade, White, Pledger,
Long, and Ed. Belch, colored.
First District—John T. Collins, white,
Floyd S. Nelson, colored. Pleasants here
interrupted and protested against Collins,
and then Col. Jack Brown, of Americus,
protested against his name being left off, and
that of Smalls, of Montgomery county, sub
stituted. Confusion prevailed and a dozen
motions were offered at once. It was de- |
cided to take up the report and act upon
each district separately, and when the action
of the district caucus has been set aside, the
convention to decide between conflicting
candidates by yeas and nays.
A wrangle then ensued as to whether the
State at large, or the districts, should be
Devcaux, of Savannah,
ried, only Bryant, Basch and three negroes
voting for Collins.
The following delegates were then re
ported :
Second District—There was no opposition
to B. F. Brtmberry, white, and John Few,
colored.
Third District—The name of E. 8. Small,
colored, was stricken out for Jack Brown,
white, tbe choice of the district caucus,
and a pronounced Grant leader.
Fourth District—There was no opposition
to R. D. Locke, white, and J. C. Bell, col
ored.
Fifth District—An attempt was made to
put in C. O. Fisher, colored, in place of A.
E. Buck, white, of Atlanta, as Atlanta also
had H. A. Rucker, colored, but it failed.
Seventh District—W. B. Higingbotham
and A. M. Middlebrooks, colored. An at
tempt to put in Aaron Collins, white, for
Middlebrooks, failed.
Eighth District—C. H. Prince, white, and
J. W. Lyon, colored. There was some op
position, bat no change.
Ninth District—There was no opposition
to S. A. Darnell, white, and Madison Davis,
colored.
There was great disorder on the call for a
vote on the delegates at large. McHenry,
of Atlanta, nominated R. B. Bullock in place
of Wade, but Pledger attacked Bullock as
not a genuine Republican, as he had ignored
colored men when in power in this State.
This created a furore and Wade went in with
a rush, everybody in the hall voting. There
was no opposition to the' other State at
large delegates. The entire delegation is
about ten for Grant, five for Sherman, and
eight for Blaine. Some delegates have pre
tended to yield to combination influences,
but will be true.to Grant at Chicago.
At the afternoon session Bryant wanted a
committee appointed to report to the State
Central Committee. Heard and White op
posed, and the convention voted to let each
district select three members and five at
large, to be selected by the convention.
Another defeat for Bryant.
Heard, of Athens, offered a resolution for
unity, and that the delegates to Chicago be
instructed to vote as a unit for any true Re
publican, but be requested to support Blaine
for President, and Bruce, of Mississippi, for
Vice President. Bryant offered a substitute
that they go uninstructed and consult
Northern Republicans as to the best candi
date, as fraud and violence would
prevent Georgia Republicans from giving
her electoral vote to any candidate of their
choice. Heard accepted tbe amendment,
but didn’t believe fraud and violence would
prevent Georgia Republicans from giving
her vote to their candidate. The resolution
was then adopted. Bryant is for Blaine also,
but eulogized Sherman and Grant.
J. W. Lyon, colored, offered a resolution,
eulogizing William J. White, of Augusta,
a9 capable, and a desirable man for Chair
man of the State Central Committee, to suc
ceed Bryant. White, of 8avannah, advo
cated the resolution. Wimbish said the time
bad come for colored men to hold that
chairmanship. White, colored, was compe
tent to do so. Wright, of Cuthbert, colored,
said the question was, Shall the party die or
live? We want a respectable chair
man—a man who will not barter
away the interests of the party. He
said Bryant should not seek a re-elec
tion, as he had proved a failure. Bryant
was now nominated by Echols,of Columbus
and Heard said he wanted a strong maD
whether colored or white. Wlmby wanted
no man who was constantly wrangling over
personal difficulties. He preferred White to
Bryant on this account.
Bryant, on all of tbe previous questions,
desired to defend himself, and commenced
to vindicate his record, but was called to
order and asked to confine himself to the
subject before the convention. lie said
colored men were demanding full control
of the party by twenty-four colored to eight
white men on the Central Committee, ir
dicating that they didn’t want the white
men to coine in and help the party. Bryant
finding himself overslaughed, retired in
favor of Rev. Mr. White, colored.
Heard then nominated Pledger, colored,
amid a grand hurrah, when Bryant deserted
White and advocated Pledger. White, col
ored, then withdrew his nomination as not
seeking the place, but he said Pledger
should not have the place through Bryant’s
influence, but at the Lands of bis (White’s)
colored friends. This was a slap
at Bryant, and created great ap
plause. Pledger was then elected and
accepted. lie is editor of a colored paper
in Athens, and a young man of ability, but
not a proper person for so important a posi
tion; yet the colored men are determined to

by General
demanded that the First District be first
acted upon, but the Chair decided otherwise.
Deveaux then attacked the trickery of the
committee in tampering with tbe district
nominations, and made a strong speech.
He called the previous question, and
Bryant cried out, “Oh, yes, that’s
your trickery,” and disorder again
prevailed. Bryant said: “Your cus
tom house ring has made trouble enough
here.” (Intense confusion and threats
from both [sides.] Deveaux pronounced it
false to Bryant’s face that Savannah had a
ring here making trouble. Flo yd Snelson
opposed Bi /ant’s motion to take the State
at large first, and denounced the cry of
rings made by him. Heard, of Athens, op
posed the districts trading on the 8tate at
large in settling their affairs. “You vote
for our men and we will keep you on the
State at large delegation,” he said.
That was the trick, and be
favored Bryant’s motion. Ed. Belcher
also favored that motion. Deveaux said
never had such an outrage been committed
in a convention as that perpetrated upon
the First District to-day by this committee,
whose action he severely denounced in an
eloquent and stirriDg speech. Brown, of
Savannah, made a senseless harangue,
which kept the convention and galleries in
confusion and roars of laughter. Deveaux,
of Savannah, withdrew his charge as to
some of the committee, as all did not vote
wrong. Fleming, of Augusta, favored tak
ing the districts first, and crashing out the
rings and tricks, if existing. Bryant then
withdrew his motion, and the districts were
first acted upon.
Heard, of Athens, moved to alter the First
District report by striking out Collins and
putting in Toomer. Bryant offered a sub
stitute that “Whereas,the First District cau
cus refused to let Bulloch and Scriven coun
ties vote In their caucus, the report be re
ferred back to the district delegates for
action with those counties represented.” Ed.
Belcher replied and scored Bryant for sup
porting Collins against Toomer, after his
profession of love for colored men. Bryant
attempted to interrupt but general applause
and cries of “sit down” squelched him.
Belcher said Bryant had nothing to do with
the matter. He could not preach one thing
and practice another. Bryant undertook to
make a personal explanation, which crea
ted confusion all over the house.
Heard defended his motion to substitute
Toomer’s name. Watson, of the committee,
said he was fooled in the committee room
Into the belief that Toomer was a white
He now changed from Collins. Tre
mendous applause, and Bryant and Prince
were
rule the party even if they ruin it.
Tbe Central Committee is composed as
follows:
For the State at Large—Jeff. Long, Eugene
R. Belcher and W. A. Pledger, colored, and
W. H. Smyth and S. A. Darnell, white.
First District—R. W. White and James
Blue, colored, and James Atkins, white.
Second District—R. R. Wright, A. M.
Kelly, and W. H. Henderson.
Third District—B. A. Bell, 8. H. Slade,
and E. S. Small.
Floyd Snell9on offered a resolution that
the Central Committee nominate electors at
large and district convention electors from
the districts.
Deveaux, of Savannah, offered a resolu
tion for the Central Committee to prepare a
ticket for Governor and State officers and
arrange for Congressional candidates. Both
| resolutions were adopted, and a determina
tion expressed to rally at tbe polls and
| make a desperate fight to elect as many Re
publicans as possible. The Independents
are to get the cold shoulder unless there is
a change of programme.
The convention ended at six o’clock, hav-
ifig, in three days, slaughtered Bryant, put
the colored man on top and declared he
shall stay there. Bryant appeared to be
master until everything was ready to-day,
when the colored men en masse trampled
him under foot as a trickster and disorgani-
zer. Sherman’s agent has been generous
with his money, but Grant has seven 1/ not
ten delegates, with Blatae the next highest.
The colored man throws off white control
and proposes to rule, whatever the result.

THB WHITTAKBR ISVESTIGATION.
West Point, April 23.—The Court of In
quiry in the Whittaker case examined to
day the colored man Simpson, a man named
Squire Van Buren from Fishkill Landing,
John Dutcher, Henry Dutcher and Mrs.

told him before the outrage was com
mitted that he had recently been
at West Point, had had a conversation
with Cadet Burnett, and that that
d d black cuss (referring to Whittaker)
would have to leave We6t Point pretty
soon: that Cadet Burnett had threatened to
put a job up on him if he did not leave
shortly. Dutcher, upon being called to the
stand.’denied that he bad ever made any
such statements to Van Buren.
One of the other witnesses had heard
vague reports that Whittaker was to be fixed
and that two cr three cadets had been away
from tbe academy without leave on the
night of the outrage, but none of them
could give any direct and positive informa
tion on the subject.
