WHIT IS LIFE ?
Life'
Tis but a day that God has given
Man to prepare for reRt in Heaven;
lie live?, he loves, he hates and dies.
Is buried, and forgotten lies
bow in the Grave’s deep gloom;
The busy World, with rapid tread.
Press on regardless of the dead.
Who paid the debt we all must pay,
Who lingered here but one brief day,
Then went to sleep neath the quiet 'iomb.
The morn of Life is painted bright.
The heart of Youth with love is light;
The Woi 1 i looks fair and Man seems true,
All Nature green, the Sky too blue
To ever be overspread with block I
At noontide’s hour Man buckles tight
s armor for Life’s coming fight—
2 fail before they strike a blow;
Some, pressing hard the mighty foe;
Some print with fleeing feet the coward's track.
Life's night draws on and finds but few
Who from their lips temptation threw—
Who can hold up clean, stainless hands
And cry. “O God! Thy just commands
I have obeyed.”
But such is Life, and suck the path,
Great Fate has marked for us to tread;
Ages gone, those yet to come,
Have done, and will do, as we have done—
Too long delayed.
But why repine, when ’tis too late?
Why cry so loud at Duty's gate?—
We passed her sacred portals when
Her keeper bid us enter then.
And rest in bliss.
When Life was young, and Hopo was high;
When Earth seemed brighter than the Sky;
When we knew not the World’s de- p guile;
Pure Friendship from foul traitor’s smile,
Nor deep Deceit’s cold kiss:
When we Grief's cup had never drained;
When from Life’s cloud no woes had rained;
When Trouble’s storm had never blown;
When Sorrow's sun had never shone.
With torrid hotness, on our head:
’Twas then, O fatal moment! then—
O. that vre d paused! O. that we'd seen
The burning kiss which hung upon
Dark Future's lips to burn our own.
And bid us writhe on Grief's chill bed.

used as a plaything for a year or two, and car-
riel it to his father, with the request that he
fix it. Mr. Bradwater discovered the main spring
out of place, pushed it back, and the pistol
being already cocked, playfully pointed it at
his sou. To his horror, the weapon was dis
charged, and the ball penetrated the right
breast of the little boy two inches between the
collar bone. Medical attendance was imme
diately summoned, and it was found that the
ball had struck a rib and glanced around the
arm or shoulder of the boy. The little sufferer
at hist accounts was doing very well, and there

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1880.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
Here is what the Cedartown Advertiser says
about it: "The Democrats of Georgia sent
delegates to the convention to deliberate and
name a standard-bearer. They had spoken
out in their primaries, and a majority of the
counties said they wanted Colquitt, and by
such action ssid they didn't believe the charges
set afloat against him. When there came a
deadlock, to accomplish what the people had
sent them there to do, who should nave yield
ed? The 58)4 votes favoring one man, the still
smaller number favoring another, or the 209%
favoring another? Does it strike the pec pie
that the 2:9% should have yielded?”
“Last Wednesday.” says the Wrightsville
Recorder, “a colored boy, while pulling fodder
tor Mr. R. T. Mayo, stepped on a large rattle
snake, but fortunately was not bitten. The
darkey was frightened too badly to do any
thing but scream and jump, so tne snake was
killed by Mr. Mayo, who happened to be in the
field. Ilia snakeship was the possessor of
eleven rattles and a button, and was killed
near the very spot where Mr. Mayo killed a
large one about a month ago.”
In a late article headed “Mr. Stephens and
Miss damage,” the Bunny South says:
"In full view of Liberty Hail Jives an old lady
who. on many accouats. Is worthy of notice.
In the first place, she is remarkable for
her great age, being now perhaps a decade
the oldest inhabitant of the village. Notwith
standing her extreme age and its accompany
ing bodily decrepitude, she retains the powers
of an originally vigorous mind in a strength
very little if at all impaired. Her memory
brings up vividly at her will the varied events
of her long life, while it does not allow to let si p
the recollection of passing events, in which she
takes a lively Interest. But the most remarkable
part of her history is the fact that, though un
favored by the advantages of education and
never blessed with wealth, her practical good
sense and i potless parity of character have
won her the respect and esteem of the very
best people. -Many years ago, when Mr. Steph
ens was comparatively a young man, we ob
served that her humble home was one of the
first at which he called oa his return from
Washington; and now, when his own bodily in
firm ities force him to require that his friends
shall visit him, he will sacrifice convenience
and ease to virit Miss Nancy Damage.”
Coffee County Gazette: “Mr. James Dean,
living near McDonald's mill, in this county,
took his gun last Saturday and went out into
his field to shoot a mischievous be<^»t of the
horned variety, which had been breaking into
his field, and which the owner had told him to
kill. He fired and killed the beast, and walk
ing on found a dead hog, which he had killed
at the same shot. On reaching the house he
found that about the time the gun fired his
little ten-year-old son had been bitten by a
snake. The boy was doing well at last ac
counts.”
"The Board of Directors of the Gainesville,
Jefferson and Southern Railroad held a very
important and highly satisfactory meeting on
Monday night last at Gainesville,” says the
Jefferson Forest News. “The result of this
meeting assures the success of the enterprise,
and the speedy construction of the road now
depends solely upon the promptness with
which the stockholders pay up the assessment *
made upon their stock. The whole matter of
trouble and doubt as to routes has been ami
cably adjusted in a manner which must be
satisfactory to all our people, the line adopted
being the most practicable, direct and economi
cal one prerented for consideration. We con-
g ratulate all the friends of the road on the
right prospects which lie out before them. It
is hoped that every one will now come fully
up to to the measure of their duty, give the
right of way, subsetibe stock, raise the
money, and pay up the assessments as fast as
they are made. Let all doubts an 1 suspicions
cease, and every man put his shoulder
to the wheel, and all work together harmoni
ously. Do this, and we shall have the road bed
completed in a few m mbs and ready for the
iron horse. The directory ordered the letting
of the whole line out to a contractor, after
thirty days advertising by the President, and
as soon as this can be done, work will com
mence In earnest. Arrangements have been
made by which the Gainesville subscription of
b inds become an absolute certainty. So that
the money will be forthcoming as fast as it is
needed, and it only remains for the stockhold
ers on this end of the road to meet their assess
ments promptly, as they are called on, to in
sure the early construction of the road The
situation looks mightily like business, and it is
to be hoped that the directory will be heartily
sustained in their commendable efforts by the
stockholders. Onward, forward, the whole
line. Nerve, brain and greenbacks will corn-
mat d muscle, build the road, and secure pros
perity.”

“It is not only to the man up a tree,” says

issuing therefrom, together with the hum of
industry heard throughout, is calculated to
imprets most any one with our growing im

The Florida Agriculturist acknowledges the
receipt of a new vegetable fruit called the
“Maxixe,” the first that has ever been grown
ia Florida. It is described by Bliss Sons, seeds
men. of New York, as follows: “This new vege
table was sent us by tn American gentleman
now residing in Brazi’, who describes it as very
extensively used as a salad or cooking. It may
be fried in butter like the egg plant. It is also
used boiled with meat or fish or in soups. It
may also be sliced and eaten with vinegar like
the cucumber. For pickles, when about half
or two-tliirds grown, it will be found particu
larly desirable. It should be planted on light,
warm soil, and treated precisely like melons
or cucumbers.”

Among the crcps successfully cultivated in
Nassau county—not theoretically, but practi

cotton, sugar cane, corn, oats, rice, sweet and
Irish potatoes; all varieties of vegetables, in
cluding celery, cauliflower, onions, etc.; figs,
peaches, oranges, emons, limes, apples, pears,
and last but not least, grapes. In fact, any
production of the temperate and semi-tropical
zones. In addition to these varied products,
the county is well timbered, and is well suited
for stock raising. Nothing but capital is need
ed to develop its vast resources.
‘Index” writes us from Waldo, Alachua
county, and says that the Peninsular Railroad
being pushed rapidly towards Ocala, and
when finished w.ll be of great benefit to that
entire section. Crops of all kinds Are in fine
condition, and bid fair to yield good returns.
The orange crop, especially around Orange
Lake, promises to be larger than last year.
Waldo is rapidly growing. Many business
houses are being erected, and every available
dwelling is occupied. A new Episcopal church
is now well under way there, and when finished
will be a credit and ornament to the town. He
also says tliat the Santa Fe canal dredge boat
is moving ahead regularly almost night and
day towards Santa Fe Lake. A iiewff steam
boat, intended for canal service, is now being
rapidly constructed, and will probably be
launched in October. She is to be about eighteen
feet beam by ninety in length, and will be a
passenger, freight and tow boat. A large saw
mill is also to be erected In October, and will
give a decided impetus to building, which has
been considerably delayed for want of lum
ber. He also writes that several Savannahians
are investing in property in that section.
Pensacola Advance: “Two colored men
were employed to clean out the well of Mr.
Reese last Monday, and although cautioned
concerning the descent, an egregious error was
committed which precipitated the fellow in the
bucket a distance of forty feet with the ve
locity of electricity. This well is sixty feet
deep, and is curbed with brick from top to
bottom. Attached to the cross-beam on which
the wheel is suspended was a small rope about
twenty feet in length. The occupant of the
bucket, in order to lighten the weight
and relieve his partner, who held the
main line which ran througn the pulley,
f grasped the small rope and thus made tbe
oad at least twenty pounds lets. As re
marked above, the small rope in the hands of
the man in the bucket reached into the well
only twenty feet, and on arriving at the end,
without any word of warning, dropped the
entire of his avoirdupois upon his brother at
the wheeL This was too sudden for the one at
the top, and the result was a general turning
loose. The man went down the remaining
forty feet with a marvelous rapidity, but tbe
fall was fortunately broken by the coil be
coming wrapped around the fellow s leg on
the outside, which jerked him against the
curbing and almost broke that limb. With
fear in his heart he hailed bis companion
below.but he was soon calmed by the response.
‘Haul up de bucket!’ ”
Femandina Express: “We learn that many
of our citizens are becoming interested in the
subject of orange groves. There is no business
which will ensure more profitable returns, and
Nassau county citizens should take advantage
of the adaptability of soil and climate to this
product. We predict that the day is not far
distant when oranges wil! attract as much at
tention in this as any other county in the
State.”
“On Friday night last,” says the Marianna
Courier, "after the church services of the Afri
can Baptist Church closed, two colored boys,
John Harrison and Sam Drummond, got into
a fracas, which resulted in both of them be : ng
severely cut We learn they are both out of
danger, but owing to the warm weather it may
yet result fatally.”
Orlando Reporter: “C. C. Beasley, Esq . of
Maitland, brought into the Reporter office the
other day an orange leaf that was 9% inches in
length and 5% inches in breadth. It was
§ lucked from a bud set in a lemon stock on the
rst of April. The graft has been topped four
times ana is now eight feet high. This is how
orange trees grow in Orange county.”
Palatka Herald: “Hear what one of our
East Florida correspondents says: T bought
for two hundred dollars a small tract of
land containing about four acres of
cleared ground and a few shaky houses.
My object was to plant a grove of oranges and
to raise other tropical fruits. My family and
myself cleared ten more acres, from which
we gathered corn, potatoes, peas. etc., suffi
cient to furnish us with bread and fatten our
pigs. Since then we have done all our work
with our hands, with something to put upon
the shelf. We have now about thirty acres of
land cleared, half is planted in orange trees,
some of which bloomed last year. Our banana
patch, about twenty yards square, alone pro
duces enough to supply us with flour. We
have also a good house nearly completed. We
would not take 94,999 for our place to-day.’ ”
On the subject of "the weather and the
crops,” tbe Tallahassee Floridian says: “The
weather bus at last settled into something l.ke
what it ought to lie—bright, sunny davs, with
occasional slight shower**, and pleasant breezes,
and glorious moonlight nights, almost too cool
for actual comfort, but just right for drives
and walks and dances, looking at it from a
young foils’ point of view. Tbe crop prospect
improves with the weather. The caterpillar is
said to be entirely disappearing from several
localities, while in others the ‘third crop'
never hatched at all, and as this is the genera
tion which does the damage, its destruction is
the salvation of the cotton. Many planters we
have conversed with sav that if the season is
favorable for gathering in the entire crop, it
will bid fair to be one of the la; gest ever raised.
New cotton is coming in slowly, but a contin
uance of the present favorable weather will
probably make the receipts for August larger
by considerable than last year.”
Says the Jacksonville Union: “There is a
cIofs of negro vagabonds on the St. John's
nver who make a living by stealing logs from
any boom pens or raft which they find loosely
guarded. In some cases these fellows get em
ployed as regular raftsmen, and at night either
let out logs to be taken up by confederates, or
by leaving the raft by itself afford an oppor
tunity to have the job done for them. Some of
them were tripped up in their nefarious plans,
however, Saturday. A laft belonging con
jointly to E. Hopkins & Go., and Mr. Henty
Gardner, has i>een lately lying in Fishwire
creek, about fl\e miles above the city. One
week ago Mr. Hopkins sent two raftsmen up
to bring it down. Nothing more was heard
from the raft until Saturdays last, when they
came into the store ta (ell him that the raft
was broken up and half the logs ttolen. Mr.
H. B. Clark, clerk of Hopkins & Co., imme
diately visited the mills about the city, and
learned from Messrs. Wallace A Cashen, that
on Tuesday last they had purchased from a
negro named Wm. Perry a small raft of forty-
two logs, which, if Mr. Hopkins could identify
as belonging to him, was subject to his order.
Mr. Hopkins s-aw the logs, and, as he expected,
found them to be the massing ones. He next
had the man Perry arre.-ted an i lodged in jail.
Perry acknowh dged that he stole the logs from
the raft in company with two other negro
raftsmen by the name of Braddock. Others
implicated will be arrested this evening. The
raftsmen whom he first commissioned to bring
down the raft have not been seen since Satur
day morning. It is to be hoped the whole hatch
may eventually help to cultivate Major Wyse’s
turpentine farm.”
Under the head of “Bare-Faced Villainy,”
the Key West Key says: “A colored boy
named Matthew Shavers was arrested Wednes
day on two different charges of obtaining arti
cles under false repre-entation. It appears
that this yr ung scoundrel, haring been aware
that Mr. Patrick McKeown—who has been
building extensively outside the citv
limits—was running a store account with
Messrs. John White and W. D. Cash, took ad
vantage of this knowledge, and obtained from
thestoresof each of these gentlemen large
quantities of goods, consisting of barrels of
kerosene oil, kegs of paint and expensive paint
brushes, hams, bacon, etc., amounting in the
aggregate to about 9“‘\ informing these
storekeepers that he whs sent by
McKeown for the goods. Suspicion wasfiist
aroused from the fact, that within five days
he had received two barrels of kerosene oil
from Mr. White, and on inquiry being made of
McKeown. he denied having sent for any such
article. On subsequent inquiry, it was dis
covered that he had obtained >everal kees of
paint, liains and bacon from Mr. Cash. When
accosted by Mr. White's clerks about the
articles. Shavers denied flitly that he had ever
obtained them; he immediately broke off and
ran away, but was captured on Wednes
day. On the preliminary examination
held before Justice Gwynn it trans
pired t^at all the articles except oue
barrel of oil had been disposed of, or deposited
with Frederick Johnson, who keeps a barroom
oh Emma street. One barrel of oil was sold to
a Chinaman for S5. The greater portion of
the goods have been rec ivered; and from ap
pearances it seems that Johnson is equally as
culpable as the boy; knowing, as he must have,
that the goods were not lawfully in the posses- ,
sion of bhavers, and that he did not come hon
estly by them. The case will no doubt be sent
to the Circuit Court for ti ial, and justice v. ill
certainly be meted out to the guilty parties.”

Brunswick, August 22.—Eli tor Mominq
Ncics: The heat wave is upon us again, and
for the past three or four days the weather
has been extremely sultry and uncomfortable.
To-day quite an interesting event takes
place. I refer to the reinterment of the re
mains of the late Lieut. Clay Moore, formerly
of the Brunswick Riflemen, whose remains
were recently brought home from Vj-ginia by
his brother, J. Berrien Moore, Esq. The Bruns
wick Band will accompany the cortege, fo L
lowed by the survivors of his old company and
the Glynn Guards, to Oak Grove Cemetery,
where the body will be reinterred with mili
tary honors.
Mr. George C. Norton, of whose long and
peculiar illness I wrote some weeks since, died
this week.and has at last arrived at the portals
of i ternity, the boon he has craved for many
long years. For ten years he has not moved
or changed his position on his back without
assistance and never without the m*>t excru
ciating pains. His hands and lower limbs were
shrunken and drawn, and almost lifeless. His
appearance, to the writer, some time since, as
he lay with a Flight covering over his figure,
was that of the head and trunk of a well
formed, medium sized man, devoid of limbs
and with a healthy, finely formed and intel
lectual face, the same unchanged in appear
ance as.when as one of our prominent business
men, he appeared upon the street. The old
gentleman was reconciled and doubtless has
received the reward cf his sufferings here.
Business is very active here, and tlie ship
ping list continues very large. Several new
stores have been opened of lute, and more are
contemplated.
Mr. Jacob Miclielson is putting up a hand
some residence, which, when completed, will
probaby be the most elegant in the city.
The Republicans have nominated George
Abbott, a custom house empire, for Senator
from this district; also Hugh Christopher, a
school teacher, for Clerk of the Superior Court
of this county. Both are negroes, and both
are very likely to be beaten. The Derrocratic
nominee for Clerk, Mr. T. O’Connor, Jr., is
quite acceptable to a majority of the colored
people also, and expects to. bother himself
very little about the nomination of a handful
of colored politicians.
Immense quantities of freight are passing
through this port for the interior dai’y, which
is quite early in the season. The prospects are
that the winter will be a lively one.
The city is very healthy. G lynx.

ticians were discussing the situation in the
State Committee room. Among the first on
hand were Senator W. H. Robertson and
Gea. Arthur. When asked as to the pro
bable action of the State Committee, Senator
Robertson said: “We have been called
together to decide about holding a State
Convention. I am opposed to it, as I deem
it unnecessary, but the committee may de
cide otherwise. We also meet to discuss
the situation in this State and com
pare notes.” Shortly before noon the Repub
lican State Committee went iuto session in
the gentlemen’s parlor, at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The meeting was called to order by
Gen. Chester A. Artnur.
Dr. P. C. Van Wyck, who nominated
General Arthur in the caucus at Chicago,
was appointed to till the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Michael W. Barns, in the
Fifth district. At 12:30 o’clock a recess of
ten minutes was taken to enable the com
mittee to prepare a resolution in relation to
holding a convention. The members of the
committee, with the exception of three or
four, are strongly opposed to holding a con
vention. A candidate for Chief Justice will
probably be nominated at once.
All the members of the committee were
present except two. Tbe committee un
animously agreed not to hold a convention.
Chief Justice Foiger was renominated by
the unanimous adoption of the following
resolution :
Whereas, The general sense of the
Republican party is opposed to a State
Convention, for the reason, among others,
that the time occupied in the selection of
delegates to a State Convention would dis
turb and retard the work of tbe campaign
already auspiciously begun, and that the
character of Chief Justice Folger dictates
his nomination for the high place he now
occupies, and no other name would be so
acceptable to the Republican party; there
fore,
Hesolved, That in compliance with the
sentiment of the Republican party, the
State Committee places in noraiualion for
Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals C. J.
Folger, of Ontario.
The committee then adjourned, subject to
the call of the chair.
An evening paper has the following:
“Mr. Fowler, Chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, said to day
that Gen. Lester B. Faulkner had issued a
call for a meeting of the State Committee
at St. James Hotel on next Friday after
noon at 2 o’clock. Notices were issued In
time to reach every member of the commi:
tee to-day. At this meeting the two main
questions to be disposed of will be the call
lug of a State convention for the nomina
tion of a candidate for Chief Justice of the
Court of Appeals, and the appointment of
an advisory committee from the State at
large to assist the Executive Committee in
the conduct of the campaign.”
Wilmington, Del., August 24—The
Democratic State Convention met here to

electors for the State tickets. There was a
full delegation for each of the three coun

THE CODE DUELLO IN VIRGINIA-
The Story that Frauds were Com
mitted Under Gen. Hancock at
New Orleans.
Washington Special to the New York Sun.
The Republican Congressional Com
mittee is attempting to manufac
ture campaign material out of
certain frauds which are alleged
to have been committed at the
time Gen. Hancock was in command of
the department embracing Louisiana and
Texas at the close of the war. A story
has been circulated by a Republican
newspaper in New Orleans to the effect
that a relative of Gen. Hancock and an
other person, who was a Union officer,
made large sums of money improperly
by virtue of their official position while
Gen Hancock had command of the Union
forces in Louisiana. The Congress
ional Committee has rummaged the files
of the Treasury Department and failed
to find any evidence of the existence of
documents which it was claimed would
prove the commission of these frauds.
Thereupon the tale is circulated that
Andrew Johnson, while he was Presi
dent, caused these documents to be stolen
for some ulterior purpose which is not
explained.
Legal Pleasures Taken to Stop a Con
templated Duel—ArreNt ol tlie Al
leged Principals.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
Richmond, August 24 —For several days
past vague rumors have prevailed here that
a correspondence was going on between
two well known citizens which might cul
minate in a hostile meeting, but last even
ing it was reported that the correspondence
had terminated in an amicable adjustment
of the difficulty between the parties. This
morning, however, the affair was reported
to have asfumed a different aspect, and upon
the strength of this report warrants were
issued for the arrest of the alleged princi
pals, Dr. Geo. Ben Johnston (son of United
States Senator Johnston and nephew of Gen.
Jos. E. Johnston) and Capt. John 8. Wise
(son of the late Governor Henry A. Wise),
on the charge of being about to engage iu
a breach of the peace. Dr. Johnston was
arrested at two o’clock this morning and
taken before a magistrate and balled In
$2,000 for his appearance at the Police Court
to-morrow. Captain Wise has not yet been
arrested.
The difficulty is said to have had its origin
as follows : “Last winter Capt. John 8.
Wise’s name was presented for membership
iu the Westmoreland Club, which Is com
posed of many of the best citizens of Rich
mond, but, despite Captain Wise’s high
connections and social s'anding, he
was black-balled with considerable unanim
ity. This action of the club was generally
known, and freely discussed, various rea
sons being assigned therefor, but the actual
cause was not made public until recently,
when Dr. Johnson stated in such a manner
that the information would reach Captain
Wise that he was one of the many who
had black-balled Wise, and he also had
orxauized and carried out the movement
which had resulted in his rejection, giving
as his reason for doing so that he (Johnston)
had at least considered that Wise’s conduct
in the Congressional canvass, in which Lis
uncle Jos. E . Johnston was a candidate,
had not been that of a gentleman towards
Gen. Johnston, nor had he treated him with
such respect as the General’s age and his
position should have demanded.”
It is still claimed by the friends of the
parties that matters had been adjusted,
and that there was no necessity for the ar
rest of the principals and consequent pub
licity.

of scandals which he will not say are true.
The official records are invoked to prove
misrepresentations 60 gross that they are

Good Financial Showing.
By Telegraph to the Morning News.
8t. Louis, August 24. — Several more
divisions and lodges of Kuights of Pythias
arrived this morning and were escorted to
their quarters by the local lodges.
The city has put on holiday attitre.
All the hotels are handsomely decorated
with flags and colors of the different divis
ions, festoons of the different staffs of the
colors of the rainbow, evergreens and de
vices of various kinds.
The Supreme Lodge of the World was
escorted to Odd Fellows’ Hall at half-past
niue o’clock this morning. After being
received by the Grand Lodge of the State
with the formal and imposing ceremonies
usual on such occasions, the Supreme Lodge
went into regular session.
After the Supreme Lodge had reached
Odd Fellows’ Ilall, and been formally re
ceived by the Grand Lodge of the State,
the Grand Chancellor of the State, W. P.
Rudolph, delivered a brief speech of wel
come to the city and the proffer of its
hospitality, to which the Supreme Chancel
lor, D. B. Woodruff, made a response.
The Supreme Lodge then went into regu
lar session, and Supreme Chancellor Wood
ruff read a very long and elaborate address,
touching upon many points cf interest to
the order and making recommendations, the
chief of which perhaps was a thorough re-
vi sion of the endowment feature.
The report of the Keeper of Records and
Seals was also read. This shows a decrease
in the membership in Pennsylvsnia, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Georgia,
Nevada and Ontario of 2,699 members,
while the other twenty-seven jurisdictions
show an aggregate gain of 4,652 members,
making a net gain for the year 1879 of 2,943.
Notwithstanding the decrease of members
In some jurisdictions, all of them show de
cided financial improvement. The capital
of the lodges has greatly Increased. The
amount paid for relief during the past two
fiscal years is $477,781. This has been done
by an average of 8,500 members divided
among 1,400 lodges.
The receipts for the past two fiscal years
ending July 31, 1880, have been $41,265, and
there is now a balance in the treasury of
$12,357. The amount contributed to yellow
lever sufferers in 1878 was $8,833. The
number of members In the order December
31, 1879, was 87,712. The number of uni
formed members is about 2,150, embraced
in 54 divisions.
After the presentation of the reports and
the transaction cf some unimportant busi
ness, the Lodge adjourned until morning.
Preparations were then made for a grand
parade, and by 2 p. m. the streets were
thronged with spectators. Tbe start was not
made, however, until 4:30. The procession
was composed of a 6quad of mounted^police,
eight companies of F’ ~
St. Louis Light Guard, cavalry, eight com
panics of First Regiment of Police Reserves,
mounted Knights in ancient Roman armor,
and a large number of divisions of Knights
from all parts of the country, including
divisions from Norfolk, Va., Shreveport,
La , and Fort Worth, Texas.
The procession ended with a section of
artillery and a long line of carriages, in
which were prominent officers of the order
and municipal authorities. The display was
very brilliant, and the pr.rade was heartily
cheered all along the route.

Lords.
By Telegraph to the Morning Neics.
London, August 24.—The Radical Demo
cratic clubs of London and its suburbs as
sembled in Westminster last night and urged
Mr. T. P. O’Connor, Home Rule member
for the borough of Galway, to press
his motion adverse to the existence of the
House of Lords to a division, and to present
his address advocating the abolition of that
body. Mr. O’Connor replied expressing his
sympathy with the objects of the meeting.
At a meeting of the Home Rule members of
the House of Commons yesterday, Mr. Par
nell presided. He said, with regard to the
opposition to the constabulary vote, that
much would depend on the manner in
which the Irish members were met by the
government. If their proposals were re
jected, it would be necessary to resist the
vote to the last, but if the government were
disposed to listen to the protests of the
Irish people against the manner in which
the constabulary is now being used, extreme
steps would be unnecessary. He was resolved
to place several amendments on paper
against the votes wh.ch will be taken to
night.
Mr. O’Donnell’s motion was not seconded.
Mr. Parnell called attention to the Parlia
mentary relations of Great Britain and Ire
land. He contended that the rejection of
the compensation biU added one more to the
many overwhelming proofs afforded since
tbe union of the necessity for such Radical
change in these relations as would
permit legislative effect to be given in
future to the voice of the vast majority of
electors in Ireland. Mr. Forster declared
that the government had not altered their
opiuion that the rejection of the compensa
tion bill was a great calamity. The bill, he
said, only affects a small majority of the
landlords. He complimented Mr. Parnell
on the temperate character of his speech.
At Hammersmith Police Court to
day, James Donovan Footman was
charged with sending letters to Oranmore
and Browne, threatening the Peer with
death If he further advocated the case of
the Irish landlords. Lord Oranmore re
cently wrote to the Times a communication
respecting the state of Ireland. The pris
oner was remanded and bail refused.
The Attorney General has consented to
:*irst National Guards, J the Tichborne writ of error being submitted
J to the House of Lords, the appellant’s solid
J tor having given adequate reasons.
Tbe House of Commons this afternoon
went into committee on the estimates. Mr.
O’Donnell, Home Rule member for Dun
gannon, moved a resolution against granting
money for the maintenance of the Irish
constabulary. There is a general apprehen
sion of a protracted sitting. Some predict
that it will last twenty-four hours.

New York, August 24.—The6tock market
opeued firm, but soon became weak and
prices fell off to 1% per cent. Specula

second board, when dealings became fairly
active and were characterized by a strong
tone, which continued to the close, the im

Transactions aggregated 184,000 shares.
London, August 24.—The Manchester
Guardian, in its commercial column, says:
“Tbe continued strength and activity of the
cotton market has compelled sellers to raise
quotations in mauy instances even where
there is little hope of the advance being real
ized. To this extent the market may be called
firm and hardening. Buyers, however, do
not meet the upward movement, as they do
not believe it will be sustained. Their abun
dant supplies and the absence of any en
couragement from the consuming markets
prevent them from having any pressing
wants of magnitude at the full rates now
required.”

bndge into tbe river. Long before the
hour named persons swarmed in from
the surrounding country, and took fa
vorable positions from which to view
the leap.
Shortly after 6 o’clock a man was seen
coming across the bridge from the direc
tion of Kyle’s cottage. A lad accompa
nied him, and together they walked rap
idly until they reached the centre of the
bridge. They paused over the middle
archway, and the man taking off his
coat, handed it to his companion. He
was then dressed in tights, with no cov
ering on his head, but with a heavy pair
of shoes on. He climbed upon the par
apet and stood erect before the multi
tude, waving his large white handker
chief. This was the signal for readiness,
aDd two steamboats in the river below
blew their whistles. The man paused
for about a minute longer and then
sprang from the bridge. Both feet were
held tightly together and his figure was
erect. His hands and arms were flapped
a3 a bird’s wings are. In this manner he
continued until within about fifteen feet
of the surface of the water, when he
drew his arms to his side and threw his
head forward. He si ruck the water on
the middle of his back.
There was a moment of suspense, in
which the spectators held their breaths,
and every eye scanned the water where
the man had disappeared. In less than
minute he came to the surface and
struck out for the nearest raft. He was
taken to the shore and friends carried
him to the hotel, where a physician
rubbed him down with alcohol and rolled
hin: in blankets. His pulse was found
to be 130, and 10 minutes later it was re
duced to 102.
Donaldson is thirty years of age and
was born in Tain,Scotland. When seven
teen years of age he jumped from the
Sunderland Bridge on the Ware, Eng
land, a distance of over seventy feet. A
week ago he accomplished the same feat
he did yesterday, but only a few persons
saw him, and it was discredited. The
height of the bridge above high water
mark is liy feet.
The Address ot the Minority.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
The Chronicle ot yesterday contained the ad
dress of the minority to the people of Ueonri*-
This is signed by Hons Josiah L Warren. B. F.
Lyons, H. H. Carlton, P W. Alexander and
others The cause of the minority and the
proceedings of the convention are stated from
i heir standpoint. The letter tendering Hon. T.
M. Xorwo^a their nomination for Governor and
his letter of acceptance accompany their ad
dress to the peoole. The convention having
adjourned on Wednesday of last week, the
action of the gentlemen named represents
simply their views as private citizens. They
speak not in the capacity of delegates. Their
authority to do so terminated with the ad
journment of tbe convention. Their subse
quent saying and doings, therefore, are en
titled only to the considerat-oQ and weight of
any other nine citizens of equal respectability.
Mr. Norwood is the candidate of citizens who
were delegates to the convention. Gov. Ool-
S uitt, on the other hand, i* recommended to
ie people as the Democratic candidate of the
convention. He received two hundred and
twenty-four votes and a fraction out of three
hundred and fifty—the whole number in the
convention—and lacked only nine votes of a
nomination under the two-thirds rule. This is
a fair presentation of the case, and Governor
Colquitt is entitled to all the benefits which the
endorsement and rec mmeedation of nearly
two-thirds of the convention confer upon him.
He is the standard bearer of the Democratic
party. He is the choice of the convention.
Mr. Norwood and his friends represent the con
centration of fragmentary factions of the late
convention. His nomination is contrary to the
usages of the party. It is in violation of that
principle of Democratic doctrine which pro
claims that the will of the majority, when fair
ly expressed, shill prevail. It is violative of
party unity and destructive of that harmony
and integrity essential to the vitality and effi
ciency of Democratic organization and Demo
cratic supremacy.
The Committee of Eleven, in the opening of
their address, state that the true issue before
the people then and now, is “the incompetency
of the Executive and the scandals which have
grown out ot his official actions during his ad
ministration.” They say that this is~ue was
not discussed iu the canvass preceding the con
vention. This i3 certainly a grave mistake on
the part of the Committee of Eleven. Gov
ernor Colquitt's administration has been dis
cussed in every militia district in tlie State. He
has been denounced for incompetency and ve
nality. His private and official conduct has
been thoroughly ventilated. His opponents
denounced his conduct through the press and
from the stump and rostrum in every county
in Georgia. The hearing was not ex parte. The
people heard both sides of the question, and
they decided in their county conventions, and at
their primary elections that Gov. Colquitt was
neither incompetent nor corrupt. The com
position and action cf the convention fairly
express the will of the people. If Governor
Colquitt's administration was so incompetent
and scandalous, is it not a little singular that
no member of the minority so charged upon
the floor of the convention? During a session
of seven days the gentlemen of tne minority
were repeatedly asked to make specifications
and charges against Governor Colquitt. The
proceedings will show that no such charges
were made. Now that they have been foiled
in their designs to prevent his nomination by
the convention, the Committee of Eleven, re
presenting the factious opposition to Governor
Colquitt, ring the changes upon the stale and
scandalous charges that have been mouthed
over the State against him for the past two
years.
The Committee of Eleven raise a line and cry
against the rules adopted by the convention in
reference to the presentation of the names of
candidates. The minority was represented on
the Committee on Rules, and we nave no rec
ollection of an adverse report from the minor
ity in opposition to the adoption of the rules.
In view of the fact that a thorough canvass of
the State had been made before the conven
tion—that the friends of Messrs. Lester. Har
deman, Gartrell and Warner had crjstalized
in opposition to Governor Colquitt—that the
issues were defined and clearly drawn—that it
was anybody to beat Colquitt—that the people
in nearly two-thirds or the counties of the
State had pronounced for Governor Colquitt—
there was nothing oppressive or unfair in
the adoption of the rules. Any member
of the convention had the right to place
a citizen in nomination previous to the ballot,
provided his consent had been obtained. In
view of the fact that two hundred and odd
delegates were in favor of the renominaticn of
Governor Colquitt, the adoption of tne rules
was not undemocratic. It was not tyrannical
as claimed by the opposition, neither'did it en
force the gag law nor deprive the minority of
haranguing the convention for seven days,
during which time they fairly exhausted them
selves. Thay talked so much during the con
vention that some of them declined addressing
the minority meeting afterwards, giving as an
excuse that they had talked themselve6 hoarse
during the convention
Tlie Committee of Eleven state that Mr.
Walsh, of Richmond, declared that the ma
jority had come “to nominate Alfred H. Col
quitt and nobody else." Here is what was
said in substance, as copied from the Atlanta
Constitution:
Mr. Walsh, of Richmond—Mr. Chairman
Speaking for the distinguished gentleman
whom I have the honor to represent, I will say
to the convention that we have anticipated the
resolution introduced by the gentleman from
Clark, and that we have conferred and have
come to a decision, and the decision is to carry
out the voice of the people of Georgia as ex
pressed iu nearly two-thirds of the counties of
this State [applause]: and that voice ia that
Alfred H. Colquitt shall be the next Governor
of the people of Georgia. [Cheers. 1 I say the
people, in order to preserve the integrity of
this party and to conform to its usages, have,
upon this occasion—and this occasion differs
from any other State convention that has been
held—sent us here to perform a formal duty.
They have passed upon it themselves, and I
say we will not be true to the voice of the peo-
f de if this convention does not nominate Alfred
L Colquitt: [Continued cheering] In this
great State a majority—nearly two-thirds—of
the people prevail in that opinion, and the
friends of Gov. Colquitt, in a spirit of harmony,
in a spirit of peace and with a liberality
that should be admired and appreciated,
have deviated from the usages and customs of
our party in the past ten years by adopting the
two-thirds rule. But gentlemen say that in
former State Conventions there was no reason
why the two-thirds rule should have been en
oreed, because there was no opposition. Why,
sir, so much the more reason for the rule being
used at all times in the Democratic party. If it
is to be so much respected there was all tlie
more reason why it should have been adhered
to in the former State conventions. But, sir, it
was the voice of the men of brains, progress
and patriotism that the rule should be repealed
and the majority rule should prevail. [Cheers.]
I say we made these concessions in a spirit of
harmony, in order to maintain the integrity of
the party. But we have come to respect the
will of the people.and we do not intend to depart
from the city of Atlanta until we have nomi
nated Alfred H. Colquitt! [Great applause.]
We have coate here to do that if it takes us
until Christmas to do it. [Renewed cheering.]
Tbe foregoing embraces what Mr. W aJsh
said. As he had then, and has now, the
apjjroval of his conscience to sustain him,
after the labors and excitement of the conven
tion, he delilierately and with a full sense of
the responsibility reaffirms that Governor Col
quitt is the choice of the people, and that it
was the duty of the convention to carry out
their will, previously expressed. The majority
were not elected to hunt "dark horses” or ac
cept whomsoever a factious and stiff-necked
opposition might suggest. Is it not absurd to
pretend that the 210 or 212 delegates for Gover
nor Colquitt should have violated the letter and
spirit of their commissions from the people
and united with the sixty odd for Colonel Les
ter, the 53 for Colonel Hardeman, the 14 for
General Gartrell, or the 8 for Judge Warner :
Tlie opposition was willing to unite upon anv
citizen to defeat Governor Colquitt! And yet
the record shows that when Judge Lawt-on. of
Putnam, was p'aced in nomination by Colonel
Reid, a delegate from that county, he received
only two and a half votes. Tne gentlemen
of the minority threw up their hats and
shouted themselves hoarse when Judge Law
son’s name was presented. When it came to
the b»J‘ot they voted for their respective can
didates. The gag law. of which they so bitter
complain as excluding citizens other than
.ose named from being placed in nomination,
did not exclude Colonel Reid from nominating
Judge Lawson. Their committees of confer
ence, as their subsequent action proves, meant
in every instance, as a condition precedent in
any compromise, the exclusion of Governor
Colquitt’s name from the favorable considera
tion of the convention. That was the spirit
which actuated the minority. The many would
not consent to the dictation of the few. And
the minority, following the example of the
solitary juror who stood out in opposition to
the eleven, pronounced the conduct of the
majority as stubborn and unreasonable. Their
rallying cry was anybody but Colquitt. He
and he alone of all the citizens of Georgia
was not eligible to the nomination.
We of the minority demand of the majority
that Governor Alfred H. Colquitt shall be
branded as unworthy of the nomination at the
hands of this Democratic Convention—as un
worthy of the confidence and respect of his
fellow-citizens. We demand that he shall be
proscribed and branded as incompetent and
guilty of the venality and corruption—official
«nd personal—with which he stands charged
by his enemies. We demand this, too, in the
face of the fact that be has been upon trial
and acquitted by his fallow-citizens. Should
the majority submit to this dictation—to this
violence to the voice of the people-this im
putation upon the private and official
character and conduct of an upright
citizen and faithful public servant? This is
what the minority exacted of the majority,
and this is what the majority justly and
bravely refused. Why should the majority
cravenly surrender to the unjust demands of
an unreasonable and bitter minority: The
people had said of Governor Colquitt: You
are not guilty of the charges preferred against
you. The delegates in the convention, voicing
the sentiments of their constituents, continued
to assert: Because you are innocent—because
you have been abused and misrepresented—
because you have done your duty to the State
—because you have elevated its credit and its
character abroad—because you have given the
prestige of your high office to the advancement
of the religious, moral and educational inter
ests of the people—because you have been fore
most in the work of peace and reconciliation—
because you have been firm and just in
tbe administration of the law—because your
efforts have all been for the best interests of
our social and material well-being—because
you are one of tlie highest types of our civiliza
tion and one of the purest and bravest of oar
citizens—because we respect and love you for
your devotion to the State in peace and in war
and for your life-long fealty to the Democratic
party—we, the people, speaking through our
representative! in convention assembled,
pronounce your vindication and demand your
renomination. This was the voice of the people
at the ballot-box before the convention as
sembled. This will be the voice of the people
at the election in October.
We have demonstrated conclusively, w«
hope, that the issuesjuvoived in the canvass ,
were thoroughly understood by the people sn«f
thoroughly discussed before the assembling oC.
the convention—that the issues w»*re either the*
condemnation or vindication of Governor Col
quitt's administration—that after a fair ancC
exhaustive hearing from Governor Colquitt#
and his supporter* on the one side, and from
the opposition on the other, embracing Messrs.
Lester. Hardeman. Gartrell and Warner and
their supporters, the people by an overwhelm
ing majority sent delegates to the convention
to renominate Governor Colquitt—that neither
undemocratic nor tyrannical rules were
adopted by the convention—that the
minority had an impartial and ample hewing
before the convention—that the minority were
maiigeant and unyielding in their hostility to
Governor Co.'quin—that while every other citi
zen in Georgia was available as a candidate
for the Gubernatorial chair, he alone was ineli
gible and unworthy of a renomination for this
nigh and honorable office—that he was ex
cluded and entirely ignored by tiiem from
every eorapromi.se proposed and from every
hope of a nomination at their hands—that the
minority had determined tc endanger the in
tegrity ot the party rather than renominate
Governor Colquitt. The action of the minority
since the adjournment of the convention
proves the truth of our position.
The Committee of Eleven place great stress
upon the failure ot the convention to recom
mend the adoption of the majority rule for fu
ture conventions. There is really no point in
this, for it is well known that the convention
would have recommended the majority rule if a
reconsideration had been make. The matter
was not thoroughly understood when the reso
lution was first moved and failed cf adoption
bya small vote. This is the reason given why
the motion to reconsider was not made.
Mr. Walsh, of Richmond—Mr. Chairman, I
desire to say, sir. in connection with the motion
made by the gentleman, that it was my purpose
to give notice this morning of a motion for re
consideration of the substitute offered by my
self yesterday afternoon. I desire to do so be
cause I am confident of the fact that there was
some misapprehension on the part of the
friends of my substitute, and hence its defeat;
but whilst I am confident now that this con
vention would vote for reconsideration and
adopt my substitute, I am willing to waive the
point in order uot to delay the proceedings of
the convention.
The delegates in the majority will affirm that,
if a motion to reconsider had been made, it
would have prevailed, and the resolution re
commending the majority role for future con
ventions would have been adopted.
The Committee of Derei have no just
grounds of compla'nt against the majority
whose action they denounce as tyrannical.
They were permitted to retire for conference
for several hours on Tuesday—twice on the
same day. The convention was not adjourned
by the majority Wednesday morning. They
say: "The majority, instead of adjourning
sine die, took a recess until 3 p. m. This ob
ject was a caucus secret, an 1 unknown by
even some of the Colquitt delegates." This
i« purely imaginary. It has no sem
blance of fact to rest upon so far as
the material point involved. The object of a
recess was not a caucus secret. Governor Col
quitt was not consulted, an 1 he did not know
that a recess was to take place. The mo
tion was made in ;ho hope that seme of the
delegates of the minority would divest
themselves of prejudice and passion—that
they would follow the patriotic examples of
Colonel Anderson, of Bibb; Judge Willis, of
Talbot, and Mr. Dendy. of Harris—that
thev would nominate Governor Colquitt
ider the two thirds rule, and thus pre
vent the disruption of the party, and the
nomination of an Independent for Gover
nor. The majority were commissioned br
the people to renominate Governor Col
quitt, and they were prepared to make any
sacrifice short of principle or duty to exe
cute their wilL The majority have carried
out the wishes of the people. Gov. Colquitt
is to all intents and purposes the nominee of
the convention. The minority participated
by their speeches and their votes in opposition
to the passage of the resolution recommend
ing Governor Colquitt to the i>eople as the
Democratic candidate. They pledged them
selves to support tlie nominees. They did not
withdraw. How much more patriotic it
would have been for the gentlemen ef the mi
nority to have sunk their personal prejudicee
after the convention had recommended Gov
ernor Colquitt as the Democratic candidate?
In place or acquiescing in the will ol majority,
they have abandoned the teachings of the
Democratic fathers and raised the standard of
revolt. They have attempted the disruption
of the organization. 1 hey have attempted to
destroy the unity of the Democratic party in
Georgia. The responsibility rests .upon the
minority.
In their address to the people the Commit
tee of Eleven have omitted one material fact
which shows their great devotion to the or
ganized Democracy. In casting about for a
candidate their eyes turned toward Cartersviile
and their hearts turned to the father of Inde
pendents. imploring him to be the Moses to
lead them out of the wilderness of their politi
cal troubles and to direct their erring footsteps
back into the fold ot the organized Democracy.
The Committee of Eleven have made an omis
sion from their address, which we presume
was entirely unintentional on their part.
Here it is:
Atlanta, Ga., August 10,1880.
Hon. IF. II Felton :
Probable disruption and recommendation of
Colquitt by his followers. Will you makb the
race against him, assured of strong support?
Answer. n. H. Carlton,
J. L. Warren,
Wm. Garrard.
Cartersville, August 1M, 1880.
//. H. Carlton and others :
My friends want me to continue the race for
Congress. So I must decline the race for Gov
ernor. W. H. Felton.
This dispatch was sent to Dr. Felton while
the convention was in session. It is unneces
sary that we should i*oint out the glaring In
consistency of any portion of the minority—
while artiDg in a convention called to preserve
Democratic unity and promote Democratic
organization, and caile i to nominate candidates
in accordance with the usages of the party—
going out of tbe convention and asking Dr.
Felton, who glories in his opposition to party
conventions and party nominations, to become
their standard-be irer for Governor. This
shows desperation on the part of the minority.
It proves an utter disregard for the mainten
ance of the party organization, and demon
strates that our minority friends were willing
to unite upon an Independent in order to de
feat Governor Colquitt, the candidate of the
majority of the Democracy.
With this presentation, we leave the issues
involved in the convention in nominating
Governor Colquitt by a majority vote to the
people, who will decide between the claims of
the endorsed candidate of a regular Demo
cratic Convention and those of Hon. T. M. Nor
wood. who is the candidate of a number of
respectable but dissatisfied and misguided
citizens who seek to defeat Governor Colquitt
by schism and strife in the Democratic party.
The writer has personal retard for many of
his friends who are acting with the opposition,
but he does not hesitate to characterize their
conduct as destructive of the best interests of
the Democratic party, the supremacy of which
is absolutely essential in this State to the re
ligious. moral, e iucational. social and material
well being of both races The effort to divide
the party and to defeat the candidate of the con
vention will not succeed. The people who elect
ed tbe delegates in favor of Gov. Colquitt will
confirm their work at the ballot box. They will
place the seal of condemnation upon the acts
of the gentlemen of the minority, whose mis
taken zeal and personal dislike have warped
their judgment and endangered the unity and
success of that party the supremacy of which
is so absolutely essential to the conservation
of our civilization and the preservation of the
rights and liberties of the people of Georgia.
The sovereign people will approve the right
and condemn the wrong by the triumphant re-
election of Governor Alfred H. Colquitt. The
action of the convention will be confirmed by
the ballots of the people.
