The Perry Home Journal says: “We saw the

the Sheriff on Wednessday of last week, for
entering the dwelling of Mr. Marshall
Hays, who also lives at the mill, a
few nights before the arrest was made.
Ihe Sheriff started to jail with Bill, and night
overtook them on the way, and just as they en
tered the Canoochee swamp the officer was
halted by a crowd of marked men, who de
manded the prisoner. Mr. Canady refused to
give him up. whereupon guns were leveled on
him and several discharged, no damage result
ing from the shooting, however. The negro was
then taken from the officer, and we have been
unable to hear any thing more of him. The infer
ence of some is that the negro was Killed, while
others think different. I*et that be as it may.
it is certainly wrong to interfere with an officer
while discharging h-'s duty, and we dislike to
chronicle anything of the kind as occurring in
our county. The laws of our State are rigid
enough to give any criminal sufficient punish
ment for any crime committed, and we think
in all cases the law should be resorted to. Mr.
Canady informs us that he could not recognize
any of the men—cou!d not even tell whether
they were white or black. To show that the
party were determined to have the prisoner.two
crowds were formed and took their positions
on different roads, as they did not know which
rout-; the Sheriff would take. Mr. Canady sajs
lie returned the next morning and examined
the ground and followed the tracks of the
party for some distance, but was unable to dis
cover anything to show that the negro had
been violently dealt with.”

The Atlanta Constitution has seen and con

conversed with Sam Hill. According to that
paper, the following is the interview: “ ‘Heard

‘No,’ wax the reply. ‘Have you?' 'Yes; 1 was
on the train the other day when he got on at

the train. There were two other gentlemen
aboard who knew him, one a drummer for an
Atlanta dry goods bouse, and the other a min
ister who had visited him in his cell during Ills

wi.at did he say?’ ‘W’ell, yea. Do you want to

the reply, and the pencil pusher began sharp

for his ticket. Hill pulled out a roll of green

The Conductor knew him, but asked him who
lie was. Hill said that he was from Alabama
The conductor smiled, and Hill <aid: ‘I see
you know mo. I am Sam Hill You are not
going to have me arrested, are you?’ The
conductor told him he would not and passed
on. Hill then spoke of how lie got away, and
said that he would not have attempted an es
cape, but that his wife was sick and he f*-lt
if his duty to vi-it her. How begot away
from the asylum he declined to say, but
said that he had been to see his wife, and
was now going he didn’t care where. He
seemed to have a dread of being captured,
and said he would never surrender. He seemed
very much dispirited, and said that he didn’t
core what bee ims of him. As usual his talk
was of his wife, who, he thought, ha-i been
terribly wronged. When near Palmetto he
went to the conductor, and telllug him that he
was afraid to go to Newnan lest he should lie
captured, asked the conductor if he wouldn’t
remit his fare. 1 he conductor did so, and just
as the train whistled for Palmetto Sam Hill
jumped off whilst we were going at the rate of
twenty miles per hour. Putting my head out
of the window I saw him going across a field,
and kept my eyes on him until a curve hid him
from view.’ And this is all that is known of

With Cuba—The “Rosy Locliraue”
and Jlarshal Fitzsimou*.
Special Correspondence of the Homing Xeics.
Washington. September 16.—After its Water-
Ijos about two years ago, and after the re
sumption of specie payments by the govern
ment. the Greenback Labor party has been
like the Kangaroo of the lamented Artemus
Ward, “an amoosln little cuss.” It has issued
more pronunciamentos from its “headquar-|
i-ers” here, signed by "order of the National
Executive Committee,” than either of the two
great parties have put forth in the past ten
yearn. After every election, aud contempora
neous with every national political topic,
there appears m print a high-sounding
screed, “by order of the National Executive
Committee." These pronunciamentos have
eclipsed in bombast even those of our friend
Dalrymple, who heads an alleged "army of
occupation,” whose mission is to take a good
big slice off of Mexico. There appears to-day
in the public prints a pronunciamento “by or
der of the National Executive Committee” of
the alleged Greenback Labor party, in which
the result in Maine is dealt with in the usual
style. It sets out: “The Greenbackers down
East send encouragement and hope to their
brethren of the far West. Our victory in Maine
surpasses expectation. The party is victorious
over the combined vote of hard-money Repub
licans and Bourbon Democrats.” That you
must a tm»t is good: in fact it is very good.
“We the people do declare,”* tc., wrote the three
tailors of Toolev street long, long ago. The
pronunciamento also says: “Even as some
would steal the livery of heaven to serve the
devil in, so some of the Democracy of Maine
their own party having fallen to pieces—lent
our ticket their support in hopes to usurp the
credit of victory.’ Nothing could be richer
than that in view of the fact that the same
elements that took Maine from the Republi
cans last Monday will give it to Hancock and
English in November. But back to the pronun
ciamento It is issued from “ Headquarters
National Executive Committee of the National
Greenback Labor Parti", Washington, D. C.”
and “by order of the National Executive
Committee.” Now, as to the “head
quarters” and to the “Executive Com
mittee.” The “committee” is "Col.-’ Lee
Crandall, who went to Alahama some time ago,
and because the people there did not take to
him or his views came back, ar.d through the
Republican press lied about the South. He is
the committee solely; there are no others here.
It is he who issues these laughable pronuncia
mentos. His “headquarters” are situate
diametrically the opposite to those of his bom
bastic military prototype, Gen. Pope. Tint
latter always had his “headquarters in the
sadule.” Crandall s headquarters are in his
hat: He is the Executive Committee, from
which emanate startling screeds about everv
two days in a week, and his hat the head
quarters. He ha3 no office and is solely alone.
Conld there be anything more amusing? To
look at Crandall you would think it a freak of
nature that such a modest looking man could
have so much cheek. But he has got it.
TRADE WITH CUBA.
A number of representative importers and
exporters have petitioned Mr. Evarts. who is
supposed to have some connection with the
Department of Mate, to take up the subject of
commercial relations that exist between Spain
and the United States, especially as regards
imports aud exports to aud from Cuba and
Co.-ta Rica. The Spanish Goverrraent wants
some concessions from tnis government in re-
gird to the tariff upon the importation to the
United States of sugar and molasses, and is
willing to mace equal concessions
in favor of American exports
to her dominions. The proposition is in the
nature of a reciprocity treaty on a somewhat
limited scale. There is no doubt, merchants
assert, that the commercial relations between
tde two countries could be vastly benefited bv
some change in the direction indicated Of
course it would require Congressional action to
sanction any treaty or convention on the sub-
ject but it is with Mr. Evarts to take the
nitiatory steps Judging by his past adminis
tration c f that almost useless institution—the
Department of State”-those steps will be
taken about the yearl9iti—if he is still alive
and is still Secretary cf State.
JUDGE LOCHRANE.
. Judge Locbrane, of Georgia, is iq the city. In
an interview he says that the action of the Re
publican State Convention in not putting a
separate ticket in the field, assures the re-elec
tion of Governor Colquitt. He says that the
two factions of the Democratic party in the
State have been so split, and are so bitter that
they will never again reunite on State issues.
He also says that the Republican party in the
State will never amount to anything. Its day
is gone forever.

Richmond, September 17.—The Conser
vative Committee are considering last
night’s Readjuster proposition providing
for a primary election to settle the electoral
ticket question, and at 11:30 a. m. sent a
communication to the Roadjusters’ Com
mittee, in which they agree to the
primary election plan, but propose
a modification of the details, so as
to provide that only white qualified
Democratic voters shall be allowed to vote
in the primary. This proposition, after a
brief consideration, was rejected by the Re
adjusters, who decided to adhere to their
original proposition, which provides that all
registered voters, whether they have paifl
capitation tax or not, who may pledge them
selves to support Hancock and English,
shall vote at the primary election.
Tbe letter of tbe Conservative Committee
to that of the Readjusters, accepting the
latter’s plan fora primary election, and sub
mitting certain amendments to said plan,
ba« just been made public. In it the com
mittee says: "We regret that your commit
tee did not accept the plan of compromise
which we submitted to you, In deference
to the decree of many of our people of all
shades of opinion in local i6sue, but we share
in the disposition which you declare not to
peruetuate a strike between the supports of
Hancock and English, and stand ready to
meet you iu any fair, hoDorable and just
terms of reconciliation and coucessioti which
shall clearly and unequivocally maintain
principles enumerated and nominees pre
sented by the Cincinnati Convention of the
National Democracy. We propose to amend
the third section of the plan of conciliation
submitted by your committee, 60 as to re
quire that none but legal voters who are
National Democrats shall participate in the
election. Geueral Hancock and Mr. Eng
lish were nominated by the regular Demo
cratic Convention. The delegates who
shared in their nomination were ail Demo
crats. No Democrat can fittingly object to
confining the selection of those who are to
be entrusted with casting the popular vote
for the Democratic nominees to their
brother Democrats alone. We by no means
wish to exclude any person of whatever

representatives of the party be chosen by
the members of the party. Some of the
members of the party which your
committee represents, have publicly
declared that in their opinion the
majority of Virginia Democrats are
in sympathy with them. We cannotseethat
they can object to tbe test of a Democratic
primary election, which would only result,
IX they be correct, in vindicating their judg
ment. We invoke the test.” Several other
amendments of minor importance here fol
low. In conclusion, the committee savs:
“Seeking only the triumph of the Na
tioual Democracy, we will cordially
join with you In this effort to unite
all of its adherents, if it meets your appro
bation. The political destiDy of fifty mil
llou6 of people should not, iu our judgment,
be iu anywise disturbed or imperilled by a
difference of opinion on a matter local to
to one State. We doubt not that the people
of Virginia will, in their own way,dispose of
the local question, but we deprecate their
interjection] into national controversies
which concerns the whole country.
To do this now would only perpetuate
strife between the supporters of Hancock,
which your letter declares you do not de
sire. While we have every confidence that
the ticket which we represent would be euc-
cessfuf, we desire that the moral influence
of Virginia’s action may be everywhere felt
ere the battle is eDded, and that all popular
apprehension may at once be eased by that
union of all Democrats which will put her
course beyond controversy or question.”
The Readjusters Committee was In ses
sion until five o’clock this afternooD, when
they sent their reply to the foregoing. The
reply sets forth that the Readjusters Com
mittee cannot consistently consent to any
arbitration less potent than that of the
people of Virginia. Signal failure had at
tended every effort to secure a popular in
dorsement of the first proposition submitted
by the Conservative Committee (the mixed
electoral ticket plan) to tbe people of Vir
ginia. Will the Readjusters Committee con
sent to submit as abitrators ? And this is the
easiest and most conclusive solution of the
whole matter. The last analysis of Demo
cracy is that the majority must rule, and by
this standard it is proposed to measure and
contras’ the strength of the opposing par
ties. The amendments proposed to the Re-
adjusters’ plan might be substantially
granted, with one exception, that
is providing that none but legal
voters who are national Democrats
shall participate in the proposed primary
election. In relation to this amendment,
the committee say: “We cannot and will
not yield to any demand that would place
us in the position of abandoning faithful
allies, and we cannot concede that any
man’s Democracy is to be concluded by his
vote in 1870, by his previous political opinion
or association, or by the fact that three
weeks before the election he should not have
paid his capitation tax, which by law
he mav pay at any time before
the election. We propose to recognize in
the projected primary every registered
voter who, by participation therein, should
show his purpose to support Hancock and
English. We saw and see no reason why
any other qualification should be demanded
of a voter. Why should Democrats wish to
place limits upon membership of the part}?
Why should they not seek and welcome
converts and recruits?
The reply then goes on at some length to
apply the suggestions of the Conservative
proposition to the politics of other States in
connection with national effalrs, and say^
“Oar desire Is to attract.not to repel others,
for Hancock and English. We have deemed
that to be the Democratic work of tbe
hour. We have not supposed that the
political antecedents of a voter nor
his color could constitute a valid
reason for rejecting his assistance to our
cause, and In this view, we have been sup
ported by tbe Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee. As to the policy
and duty of seeking to obtain for the Han
cock ticket the elements of strength here
tofore given to tbe Republican candidates,
we have upon this committee,
which you have addressed, and which
is now replying to you, gentlemen who
did not vote for the National Democratic
candidates at the last Presidential election,
but who are to-day active and earnest sup
porters of Hancock and English. Was
it expected that they should be ostra
cised ? We cannot permit the Democ
racy of any Readjusters who adhere
to the platform of the July convention and
support tbe ticket they proclaimed, to be
challenged and denied under the sanction
of this committee.
The communication concludes: “But this
letter is not written for the purpose of fur
ther criminations between our respective
parties, though the manner of your rejections
of our propositions of the 10ih Inst, made
it necessary that some notice should be
taken of the reasons alleged for that action.
It only remains to say that with and upon
those propositions, constituting in cur judg
ment a just, liberal and Democratic plan
for concentrating upon one ticket (the Han
cock ticket of Virginia), we rest our case.
The conference seems to have developed
nothing more than the irreconcilability of the
views-of our respective parties, and nothing
remains to us but to appeal to the people at
the ballot box In support of our claim to
give voice to the political will of Virginia,
in Federal as well as in Btate affairs.” After
this communication was delivered to the
Conservative Committee, the Readjusters
Committee adjourned sine die.

Portland. September 17, 1 p. m.—Four
hundred aud seventy two towns give Davis
a plurality of 87S, against a Fusion plurality
last year of 129. Thirty-four towns not re
ceived gave a Fusion majority of 572 last
year. If they come in the same as last year,
Davis will have left 303 plurality; adding
the scattering to that received, we will have
416, so that Davis will not get a majority
without a further gain of 114.
New* York, September 17.—The Tribune
publishes the following dispatch dated Au
gusta. Me., September 16: “Returns from
tbe country towns show steady and uniform
gains in the Republican vote, justifying our
canvass in every respect. In Portland,
Bangor, Bath, Biddeford, Belfast and some
fifteen or twenty other large towns we
met our principal loss by means to
which I have already referred. These In
strumentalities did not reach the country
towns, hence Governor Davis has been com
ing up splendidly within the last thirty six
hours. W’e now feel confilent of his elec
tion by the vote of the people. There Is
possibility that Democratic frauds will be
attempted among the French in the far
off Madawaska region, on our extreme
northeastern frontier, over three hundred
miles from here by existing routes of travel.
Tbes-e people are themselves honest and iu
nocent, but they are made the passive in
struments of fraud by the genuiue Auglo
Saxon Democrats and of the State-steal
variety. Frauds in Madawaska has been
often tried by the Democrats in the past.
They were signally exposed and rebuked
as long ago as 1858 by Hon. Joseph A.
Pike, of tne Tribune, appointed a special
commissioner by Governor Lott Morrill.

The Sun of this morning has the
following: “General Hancock, on the
receipt of the first Maine news, telegraphed
his congratulations to Harris M. Plat&ted,
at Bangor. Mr. Plaisted replied: ‘Thanks
for your congratulations on the gloriou
victory of our plain people In oppo
sition to class legislation, and to the sixth
term. W’e fused and wou a Union victory.
You head the enemy, while I the guns.”
Mr. Pulsifer telegraphed that himself and
numerous friends desired the opinion from
Gen. Hancock on the Maine victory. Generals
reply was : “ Tel ’gram received askiug what
I think the effect of tbe Maine election will
be. I thiDk it will lead to a pure and
efficient administration of our public a Hairs,
buryiDg sectionalism, cemeuting the Union

Eugene Casserly, of San Francisco,
telegraphed: “Maine redeemed and

The Democratic Committee has issued
the following statement relative to the elec
tion in Maine:
Headquarters National
Democratic Committee,
New York, September 17. ,
Tbe latest reliable and official returns
received from Maine are as follows: Re
turns from four hundred aud twenty eight
towns give Plaisted 70,019, Davis 70,698,
Republican majority of 679. In the same
towns in 1876 the opposition vote was 57,-
499 and the Republican vote 72,765, a Re
publican majority of 15,266. The Republican
loss in 1880 from the corresponding election
in 1876 Is 14,587. There are fifty-eight towns
and plantatjous yet to be heard from, and a
relative gain in these towns as compared
with 1876, would give us at the lowest esti
mate over 1,000 Democratic majority. The
Republican manipulators in Maine are pre
tending to claim a majority for Davis, and
are undoubtedly trying to doctor the re
turns to bear out thi6 claim. It remains to
be seeu whether they propose to begin
In Maine to reinavgurate the frauds of
1876. For two days Mr. Blaine and
the Republican leaders conceded Mr. Plais
ted’s election, as the Republican party did
Tilden’s in 1876. The entire machinery for
counting the vote is in the hands of a Re
publican returning board. Usually, in past
years, it bas only rc qnired about two days
to ascertain tbe definite results in Maine;
this year all the first returns showed great
Democratic gains, and it was only when the
Republican manipulators have stopped re
turns coming in and delayed them until
they could be altered, that changes
were made in favor of Governor
Davis. As an instance, the county
of Kennebec, which usually completes its
returns in one day, was held back until af
ter Thursday, and it is openly asserted by a
former Republican leader that the returns
were kept back for manipulation. Two of
the five Congressmen (Murch and Ladd) are
conceded. Philbrick, the Democratic c&ndi
date in Blaiue’s district,while actually elect
ed, may be counted out by fraud by a very
6mall majority, under 100. In the First
district Anderson, the Democratic candi
date, is practically in the same poeiMon, a6
the Republicans only claim a majority for
Keed of 93, thus showing that out of five
Congressmen four Democrats were elected.
This is the be6t criterion by which to judge
of the popular sentiment of the
State. Plaisted is clearly elect
ed, and can only be defeated by
a fraudulent count. The only gains
shown by the Republican party, or claimed
by them, are in Democrat counties, Inac
cessible by telegraph and away from the
lines of railways. The best evidence of the
fraud proposed to be perpetrated is the fact
that while the Fusion ticket showed large
gains all over the State in Republican cities
and counties, a Republican gain is claimed
in Democratic counties.

Atlanta, September 16.—Our rainy spell
seems to be over, and is followed by a cold
spell. Overcoats and fires are in great de
mand. and summer resorts are closing up in a
hurry. Mount Airy, however, seems to be an
exception, and a good many Savannah people
have gene there from other places this week.
Scores of Georgia boys and girls are daily
passing through Atlanta en route to Virginia
and other States, where they propose to get
an education. I noticed sixteen young ladies
at the Markham House recently, and learned
that all of them were going to one school in
Virginia. And yet Georgia has the oldest
female college in America, not to speak of
other first-class schools.
It is now doubtful if the proposed shooting
tournament comes off in connection with the
North Georgia fair, as the Atlanta cluos hare
failed, so far. to make the necessary arrange
ments. It will be hard to find a convenient
spot for a range, and there will also be a score
of other enterprises to interfere with a tourna
ment of the proper character and magnitude.
Burke’s military reunion will give Atlanta all
she can handle during the fair.
There seems to be a general desire to have
tlie Railroad Commission continued by the
next Legislature, but with an entire change of
its functions as to making tariff* for freight
aud passenger traffic on railroads. It is de
sired to so change the law that the Commission
shall le s-mply a board of arbitration between
parties or communities and railroads, by whom
all disputes vhall be settled^andJditferene*-s^ad-
justed. Under such a plan the Commission
would be able to give greater satisfaction to all
parties at interest, and make theirflabois pro
ductive of much benefit to the State.

arrests recently made were to prevent these
negroes from getting the property willed them
by the deceased, whose family slaves and ser
vants they were. As two of the accused have
been iu my employ, and I know them to be in

Chai leston and Savannah are at a stand still.

the latter cities from a relegation to the bats
and owls for an abode.” This will be almost
as funny reading to b&vann&h people as some
of Eli Perkins’ humorous (?) letters from tbe
West. Bats and owls is really a good thing,
but wild Indians would have been much better.
This slander is in keeping with the one started
here and then published in the Detroit Free

largest wholesale tobacco bouse in Georgia,
and her dry goods houses have no trouble with
silks.

Col. W. H. Hulsey, a well known lawyer of

Hon. N. J. Hammond will have lively opposi

Hon. John IL James has reconsidered his
former action, and now comes out for the

where his venerable father now resides, and.
as that county was entitled to the candidate

against Winn, of Cobb, the nominee. Mr.
James has never been defeated in this county,
and is strong in Clayton, but many of his
friends oppose his independent candidacy. It
is one of tne evils of the rotation system, and
is being felt all over the State, borne reform

ler.
Hilledgeville Union and Recorder.
So many misstatements have gone
abroad in relation to an unpleasant disa
greement between General Gordon and
Jlev. D. E. Butler, in the discussion in
this city, that we publish the following
from :i” gentleman who was present oa
the stand at the time, which may be ac
cepted as a truthful account of the whole
difficulty.
In the course of the joint debate be
tween these trentleraen on Saturday, 11th
inst., au uufortunate issue arose pro
ductive at ihe time of a good deal of
feeling.
General Gordon in his speech charged
that a large proportion of the opposition
to Governor Colquitt arose from disap
pointed aspirants. Mr. Butler in reply
denied this charge, and turning to G»-n
eral Gordon remarked quite excitedly,
“I hurl itin your teeth.” Mr. Butler im
mediately proceeded to assert that dur
ing General Gordon’s term as Senator,
just before its close, an anomalous spec
tacle was presented in the United States
Senate, in this, that Georgia was at one
and the same time represented by three
Senators on the floor of the Senate, and
that the attention of the Senate was di
rected to the strange condition of affairs
by some Senator whose name he (Mr.
B.) had forgotten. He was proceeding
to dwell upon this fact as indicating
something suspicious in the manner of
Governor Brown’s appointment, using
these words, “Fellow citizen?, would this
have excited your suspicion?” When
Senator Gordon arose (as he had a right
to do by special agreement for the cor
rection of any misstatement of facts)
and said “that he could not suffer him
self to be misrepresented before his peo
ple as to any of his official acts, and that
he was surprised at such a statement
made by Mr. Butler, for that Mr. Butler
ought to know that su^h a statement was
not true in fact.” Mr. Butler turned
excitedly to General Gordon, and bring
ing his right hand down violently in
the palm of his left, said with great
excitement, “But it is true.” General
Gordon, with emphasis, but coolly, re
plied, “Sir, it is false.” Mr. Butler call
ed out, “Sir, take your seat;” where
upon General Gordon replied. “1 will
not take my seat and allow my official
acts to be misrepresented by any man,
especially a disappointed office seeker
like yourself.” Mr. Butler replied:
“Produce the proof.” General Gordon
answered: “The proof is that I myself
endeavored to obtain an office for you
from Governor Colquitt at your solicita
tion.” Mr. Butler asked, “What office?”
General Gordon said, “That of Railroad
Commissioner.” General Gordon then
went on to explain that he did not hold
his office as Senator one moment after
his successor was elected and qualified
and took his seat. Mr. Butler preceeded
with his speech, admitting that
General Gordon’s charges were true and
thought that he had been very badly
treated by Governor Colquitt, and had a
right to have bad feelings towards him.
And as he closed, General Gordon ap
proached him on the stand and said:
“Mr. Butler, I desire no feeling in this
matter. I think we each owe the other
an apology.” Mr. Butler replied, very
excitedlv: “Sir, I owe you no apology,
and this must not occur again.” General
Gordon said soothingly (on the principle
of a quiet answer, etc.): “We must have
no feeling, and if you think I owe yon
an apology, I will make it, for I am sorry
it happened.”
The parties then left the stand, and af
terwards, at the hotel, as Gen. Gordon
was leaving, Mr. Butler came and shook
hands with him, and Gen. Gordon said
that he thought Mr. Butler was making
a personal attack upon his integrity,
which Mr. Butler disclaimed, and the
gentlemen parted on friendly terms, with
a hearty shake of the hand.

With the’chills an,l fever, the victim of mala
ria may still recover by using this celebrated
specific, which not only breaks up the most
aggravated attacks, but prevents their recur
rence. It is infinitely preferable to quinine,
not only because it does the business far more
thoroughly, but also on account of its perfect
wholesomeness and invigorating action upon
tbe entire system.

The President of Dick nson Seminary,
JWilliamsport, was recently made the
victim of a new swindle. A well dressed
man, about forty years of age, called on
him and made arrangements to place his
daughter in the school. He seemed to
be well acquainted with many public
men. His daughter would arrive the
next day, and he proposed paying her
expenses for six months in advance.
The bill was made out, when he handed
the President a draft for $200 on a firm
in Washington, and received in return a
check for $38, the amount in excess of
the bill. The President was so pleased
with him that he drove him about the
city and then invited him to tea. After
receiving the check he proceeded to a
jewelry store, where he had previously
selected a $12 cane, presented the check
in payment and received the difference
lin cash, and departed soon afterward.
President Gray suspected that all might
not be right, and on investigation learned
that the stranger had given him a worth
less check. i
