suddenly down with arm- f ,tal disease, which
resulted in the death of both within a few
hours of each other. Mrs Watson died on
Monday, the 30th, and Mrs. Parker on the day

Rome Courier: “The person who gave the
Courier's reporter the information concerning
the death of Mrs Andy Bmith. of Gordon
county, which was supposed to have resulted

Hanna had gone to Mr. Smith’s house and got
into a fight with him. There was really do
fight, but a quarrel tcok place In Mr. Hanna’s
yard, about one hundred yards from Mr.
Smith's residence. Mrs. Smith beard the two
men quarreling and shouted to her husband,
'lf you do that it will kill me,’ and then fell to
Ihe floor. She lived twelve days before she
died. We deem it best not to publish a great
deal in reference to this unfortunate affair, as
it is to undergo a legal Investigation. It is sim
ply our desire to do all parties justice.”
A Gordon item to the Southerner and Appeal
says; “A daring and bold attempt was made
last 1 hursday night to rob the safe of Mayor
Jas. Stevens. The thief or thieves effected an
entrance into the store by prizing away the
brick in the hearth, and then to blow the lock
of the safe to piece* with powder was their
object. The silver money in the safe was
blackened and some of the paper money was
scorched. The safe is an old style Herring and
is locked with a large key. and it was through
the keyhole that the robbers expected to get
through the door. A good deal of powder was
used, but to no purpose. A drill was also tried,
but it failed. Mr. Stevens missed about one
dozen cans of salmon, ten pounds of tobacco
and two dollars and fifty cents in money taken
from the cash drawer. He also lost a Smith &
Wesson pistol. There is no clue as to who the
guilty parties are.”

put the latter, iu preference to the for

to the Presidency, is really serving the
public welfare by such as endeaypr. The

An Ohio Crank’s Prudent Bid for
Notoriety.
Washington, October 14.—After the star
route cases were disposed of. It became
known in the court room that the arraign
ment of Guiteau was actually to take place
to day. So most of the spectators remained,
and a very intense feeling of curiosity and ta
'erest was manifested. There was no unu
sual display of police in or about the court
iwm,although there were large numbers of
defectives present not in uniform. For
over lalf an hour business was suspended
awaltuethe introduction of the prisoner.
At a iuarter past eleven Mr. Bcovtlle,
counsellor the prisoner, entered and took a
seat at be lawyers’ table, and Immediately
aft.iT the 'oor of the witnesses’ room open
ed and eav entrance to Marshal Henry and
two depqpy marshals, having between them
and hustling along the bowed and cowering
figure of the nan for whom they made way
to the seat reserved for him beside his coun
sel. Then one if the guards unlocked the
handcuffs, giving the prisoner the nse of hts
h*n Is, which ht continued, however, to
bold os If that was their usual position.
Guiteau looked broken in health and un
cared for in person. His balr is closely
cropped, but his cheek and chin whiskers
are worn thick, but not long. His dark
clothes were rusty and shabby, and bis
whole person presented a miserably neg
lected appearance.
After the excitement attending his en
trance bad subsided, District Attorney Cork
hill rose, and addressing the Judge, said:
“The grand Jury of the District of Colum
bia has indicted Cbas. J Guiteau for the
murder of James A. Garfield. The prisoner
is in court. I ask that be be arraigned and
required to plead to the indictment..’’
The prisoner was ordered to stand up, and
In a languid manner obeyed.
The Clerk—“ls your name Charles J.
Guiteau?”
The prisener assented by a nod.
The clery then proceeded to read the In
dictment., tN*prisoner standing up, with his
head most of the time inclined to the right
shoulder. His eyes were half closed or
wholly so. His hands were crossed over his
stomach as if they still wore handcuff*. and
his general air was that of sickly indiffer
ence. Th< reading of the indictment occu
pied neariv half an hour, and during all
that time Gilteau hardly changed his atti
tude or bearing, and rarely opened bis eyes.
He did not manifest the sllghest degree of
interest in tie scene in which he was the
chief actor and, but for an occasional
slight moveutent, might, be supposed to be
asleep in a fthidlng attitude.
Upon the exclusion of the reading of the
indlc’ment tip clerk, addressing the prison
er, said;
“ What sav vm to this Indictment, guilty
or not guilty? l
Th ’ prlsoue' in place of a response, fum

Mr. ScovilH asked to read a statement,
and proceedet to read one by the defendant
to the effect, tjat he has no money or means,
and that in h-.. defense it is necessary for
him to bave'Vttnesees from a distance.
Also one madefy himself to the effect that
he was not res|y for trial, having been in
the cate ony about ten days. That
the defense Dou’d be the Insanity of

necessarily rootal and was not the cause
of the Presidents death. Also that he has

applied to Emory Stors, of Chicago,
who had declined; also tc R. T. Merrick,
who feared that he could not attend. He
had written to Gen. Butler,but had not yet
heard from him. It. was imiortant that the
prisoner should be properly lefended, and
he Baked If Gen. Butler sbouH Secline that
the prisoner be allowed to ielV-t counsel.
Argument on the question 4 jurisdiction
was set down for the 30th cp, and the
trial for November 7th. the
court room Guiteau was taken Upstairs, and
a large crowd gathered about the east por
tico. The prison van being to tie east door
of the building, the crowd mad; a rush to
that point, but about 12:30 s’clock the
Ertsoner was quietly walked through the
asement and through the cettre of the
new building, where a carriage was in wait
ing, and taken back to jail.
Wm. Stvenon Johnson, of Ch’cago, the
law partner of Emory Storrs, has arrived In
the city for the purpoee of takiig part in
the defence of Guiteau. While Guiteau was
being arraigned a large sized man approach
ed some of the officers of the court and
asked for the loan of a pistol. Hie inqui

name as George H. Berhard, and

THE BLAIR LETTERS.
Wilson’s Confession Admitting
Them to be Forgerlea—Habone
Charged With Baying tha Ac
knowledgment—Daniel and Geo.
D. Wise Brand Rlddlebcrger as a
Liar and Slanderer—A Duel Im
minent.
Richmond, Va., October 14. —A few
weeks ago two letters purporting to have
been written by Frank 8. Blair, Readjuster
candidate for Attorney General, were fur
nished to Hon. Geo. D. Wise, member of
Congress, by W. 8. Wilson. These letters,
which are known as the “Blair letters,”
contained damaging statements, and were
used in the present campaign to show
Blair’s contempt for negroes, etc. Blair,
from the first, d-nled the authorship of the
letters. The Why, the Readjuster organ,
to-day publishes a letter from Wilson, con
fessing that the letters were forgeries. That
they were originally w ltten by someone in
Salem, Virginia, whose name he will di
vulge, and then given to him. That
subsequently, while Intoxicated, the letters
were extracted from bis pocket and copied.
That he was then induced to take the stand
he did and saddle them upon Blair.
In opposition to the foregoing the Dispatch
put llshes the statement of several gentle
men in Flncastle to the effect that H H.
Rlddlebcrger and other prominent Readjus
ters, under instructions of Gen. M&bone,
obtained possession of Wilson
In that place, made him
beastly drunk, and then under promise of
SSOO in cash, and the same amount in sixty
days by draft on Wm. Mahoce, Induced
him to sign the statement prepared by Rld
dleberger, to the effect that the letters were
forgeries, supplemented by agreement that
he, Wilson, should go to Colorado
and remain there until Rtddleberger
was made of the
Senate, when he would give Wilson some
appointment under him. This is the state
ment made by Wilson subsequently to his
reputed confession and Interview with Rld
dleberger and others.
A card Is published signed by Congress
man Wig; and John W. Daniel, denouncing
H. H. Rtddleberger as a liar and slanderer.
The card is a sequel to the Wllson-Blalr
letters, and it is expected will result In a
meeting between Wise and Riddleberger.

Railroad la just made. Except in 188 L,
since 1876, when the road fell liito the hands
of the receiver, the condition of the pro
perty now Is such that it was deemed pro
per to make a full showing to the parties

stock may soon be resumed. This plan will
be carried out as soon as the necessary for

A President at Will.
New Orleans Picayune.
The defects in our system of Presidential
succession were never more clearly por
trayed than at the present time. Congress
in 1792, according to the direction of the
Constitution, declared the President pro lem.
ot the Senate tbe next in line of succession
to the Vice President.
While it but seldom happens that there is
not a President pro tem. of the Senate, the
peculiar character of that office ought to
have excluded the holder from any execu
tive duties. It is established that the pre
siding officer of the Benate does not cease
to be a Senator or lose his vote, even when
acting as President of the United Btates.
His tenure is at the will of the Senate, and
there may be anew one chosen daring every
dav of the session.
In January, 1876, one of the ablest de
bates of recent years In that august body
was upon tbe character of this office. Vice
President Wilson was dead, and the Presi
dent of the Senate pro tem., Mr. Ferry, was
(he recognized successor to the executive
chair in case of the death of General
Grant. Mr. Ferry had been chosen at the
preceding session, and the question was
raised as to the necessity for anew elec
tion.
Mr. Morton, of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, submitted on January
10th a report reviewing the whole subject
and embracing the following resolution;:
1. Resolved, That the tenure of office of the
President pro tempore ot the Senate elected at
one session does not expire at the meeting of
Congress after the first recess, the Vice Presi
dent not having appeared to take the chair.
2. Resolved, That the death of the Vice Presi
dent does not have the effect to vacate the
office of President pro tempore of the Senate.
3. Resolved, That the office ot President pro
tempore of the Senate is held at the pleasure
of tbe Senate.
4. Resolved, That Hon. Thomas W. Ferry, a
Senator from Michigan, who was elected Presi
dent pro tempore or the Senate at the last ses
sion. is now the President pro tempore of the
Senate by virtue of said election.
The debate upon tbe third resolution
lasted for several days, and was participated
in by the ablest constitutional lawyers in
the Senate. It was flnallv adopted by a
vote of 34 against 15, with 23 absent.
Jadge Merrtmon, of North Carolina, a
superior jurisprudent, in the course of hts
remarks, speaking of supposed and not im
possible cases, said:
“t'uppose the party majority here were two;
that three of that majority should die; how
would it comport with the dignity of this body,
its character, its nature and its purposes, and
our system of government, for the minority,
thus turned into a majority, at once and with
out cause to turn out the President pro tem
pore and put in one to suit their will and plea
sure? Again, suppose in the faithful discharge
of duty the President pro tempore should feel
constrained to make a ruling distasteful to the
majority: how would It appear to see him
turned out of office by the arbitrary will of a
furious majority? A President pro tempore
thus at the will and pleasure of a party or fac
tious maioritv would have a high temptation
to prostitute his office to base and ignoble pur
poses.’’
The speech of Senator Jones, of Florida,
was very able. Indeed, It, was perhaps the
most lucid and brilliant of the speeches de
livered on this occasion. R ’marking that
“reasonable construction must decide the
question at Issue,” he said
"It is not enough to say that the President
of the Senate, like the Sergeant at-Arms of the
Senate, is an officer of this body, and because
the Sergeant-at-Arms may be removed by the
Senate, so may the President pro tempore be
removed. This mode of reasoning would be
admissible if Congress, under the Constitution,
had not pointed out duties beyond the Senate
for the one officer in a c“rtain contingency
which it has not prescribed for the other.
“This is the great point, in my opinion, upon
which this debate must turn.”
Further, considering the right of the Sen
ate to remove the President pro tempore at
at will, and quoting from a great master of
jurisprudence a definition of statutory law
(adroitly paraphrased from tfce great
Cicero’s magnificent and perfect definition
of law in general, which latter includes in
the conception both statute and moral law):
“Law Is a rule of action prescribed by the
supreme power In the State, commanding
what is right and forbidding what is wrong,”
Senator Jones proceeds:
‘‘The law, then, designates the President pro
tempore of the Senate as the officer who shall
succeed to the office in the contingency men
tioned. How will this law operate with the
right asserted on behalf of this body to re
move that officer at its pleasure? Remember
that the law provides that if there be no Presi
dent pro tempore of the Senate, the Speaker of
the House shall act as President. All expe
rience teaches us that nothing is more danger
ous to the oeace and security of nations than
those conflicts which arise out of disputes
about the right to the chief office in tfle Stftte."
The chief speakers in the discussion of
January 18th were Judge Edmunds, of Ver
mont; Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania;
Governor Morton, of Indiana; Governor
Stevenson, of Kentucky, and Judge Thur
man, of Ohio. The debate was on the third
resolution, “That the office of President pro
tempore of the Senate is held at the pleasure
of the Senate.” In the midst of tbe re
marks of Judge Edmonds, Senator Wallace
inquired:
“Will the Senator from Vermont permit me
to ask him whether this resolution would cover
the case of the devolving of the Presidency of
the Unired States on the incumbent of tbe
chair, the President of the Senate pro tempore?
In other words, does he hold that the Senate
would have the power to change the President
pro tempore of the Senate after the Presidency
of the United States had been cast upon him
by the operation of the act of 1792?”
The reply of Judge Edmunds, after
specifying with his usual astuteness that
the resolution did not touch that question
at all, was;
“I think the power of the Senate over its
President pro tem-, which exists in the nature
of its owa body and under the Constitution,
cannot be cut short by any act of Congress
whatever."
Explaining that he differed with the
opinion of the majority of the committee,
Senator Wallace proceeded to speak of the
contemporaneous interpretation of the
clause in tbe Constitution (article 2, sec
tion 1, clause 5), and ot the Intention of
the framers of the Constitution.
Asserting hts view that the Presi
dent pro tempore of thp tlenqte Is an officer
of the Dotted fc’a’es as well as of the Sen
ate, and speaking .of the Intention of the
framers of tbe Constitution to place the pos
sible succession to the Presidency only upon
an officer of the United Btates, he said: •
“But we are not left to conjecture on this
subj-ct, for in the debates during the passage
of the act of 1792 this very question was moot
ed. Pending the debate upon the bill it was
both asserted and denied that the President
pro tempore was an officer of tbe United States
within the meaning of clause 5 of section 1 of
article 2; but after a prolonged struggle the
question was settled affirmatively, and the bill
became a law. Both Roger Sherman and El
bridge Gerry asserted the position that thp
President pro tempore va g an officer of the
United States, and the latter declared that the
Speaker of the House had equal dignity.
Madison objected to the selection of the Presi
dent pro tempore or Speaker for the succes
sion, not because he was not an officer, but be
capse if he became President be would be both
Senator and President, and might be inst ructed
byh|3 BU*e.’l
Further along In the day's discussion,
Governqr Slevensou asked Governor Morten
the following question;
“Poes the Senator from Indiana slnccr-ly
believe that the Senate of the United States
would remove at its pleasure the President pro
tempore of the Benate after he became Presi
dent of the United States? If the argument
in favor of t r e right of the Senate to remove
the President pro tempore at its pleasure be
correct, the right to remove him after he was
President would follow. If not, why not? In
deed, I understood the honorably Senator Ho
claim that this rjgbt of the Senate to remove
its President'pro tempore would extend to him

Knterprlses.
Jacksonville, October 11.— My apology for
writing so lengthy an epistle as the present is
the value of the informal ion contained therein
and its important bt&rin 1 upon the interests of
the citizens Of Florida. No events, since the
war ended, have excited more general atten
tion, and promise greater results to the people
of this State than the organization of compa
nies to drain Lake Okeechobee, to connect the
waters of the St. John’s and Indian rivers, and
the purchase of four millions of acres of the
State lands by the Dies ton syndicate.
These projects are of great magnitude, and
the influence they have already exerted Is seen
In the unparalleled activity that now pervades
railroad circles, and in the impetus which they
have given to the subject of immigration.
For the purpose of giving your numerous
readers in this State a clear Insight into the
purposes and operations of the above compa
nies. I took occasion recently to hold an inter
view with Col. Ingham Coryell, the General
Superintendent, who has his office in this city.
That gentleman very patiently and courteously
submitted to the infliction, and has kindly
allowed me to publish the information fur
nished.
Reporter—Now that the newspaper discus
sions as to the wisdom of the late great land
sale have ceased, the general public would be
much gratified. Colonel, to learn from you, as
the rmperintendent of the company making
the purchase, something as to their future
plans, and the objects they propose to accom
plish. You are also connected with the Okee
chobee drainage schema Are these compa
nies identified in fact, although under two cor
porate managements?
Colonel Coryell—What I shall say to you will
be as an individual, and not as an officer of the
companies. We have no secrets from the public.
No person, inexperienced in land matters, can
imagine the immense amount of labor attend
ing the handling of such an enormous area.
First, its selection; then the filing of lists of
the selections with the State Land Office; then
the most careful examination by that office,
beginning with the patent from the United
States to this State; then a search through the
various books of entry in that office; to the
plats of every township, to make it positive
that there was no conflict in any possible
form, with sales or entries previously made.
The lands deeded are free and clear of all
claims, and the titles are absolutely perfect
Much credit is due to Hon. Hugh A. Corley,
Commißßßioner of Lands and Immigration,
and bis able assistant, Mr. Fred W. Myers, for
their unceasing labor upon the two deeds for
620,000 acres, which we have received.
This is apreface to< x lain our apparent tar
diness in placing these lands on the market.
We could do nothi g until our deeds were ob
tained. and we knew where our lands were
situated. We are now grading them, and have
two parties, with several assistants, already in
the field. Two other parties will follow as
soon as the necessary maps can be prepared.
The company have a full clerical force at
work here and in Tallahassee, adjusting the
work for graders and opening the book* for
entry. Why, just think of the labor requisite
upon the entry of the first deed of 250,000
a rest This will require about 7.500 entries,
covering the full line of large tract books. The
second deed for 370,000 acres, will require 12,000
similar entries, and ail this must be accom
plished before we can intelligently commence
our land sales. With the grading going on
simultaneously with the entries in our tract
books we hope very soon to be able to place
our lands on the market
Reporter—Tell me what you mean by grad
ing. How graded?
Col. C.—When the purchase was made, we
were bound by the terms of the contract
to take contiguous lands in large
areas. This forced us to take a very
large percentage of comparatively worth
less lands. I gay comparatively, for that is the
proper term, and I will explain that point
hereafter. We will assume, for the purpose of
illustration, that we have selected forty per
cent, of lands of that character, and that we
have forty per cent, of lands in addition, so
remote from transportation as to render them
for the time unsaleable. This will leave us,
we will say, twenty per cent, of the original
four millions, or eight hundred thousand acres
available for present sales, made so by the
various railroads soon to pass through them.
These lands we will presume to be of four
grades, ranging from one to ten dollars in
value. Common business prudence dictates
that these lands be looked over carefully and
graded according to their actual value, taking
into consideration their location, transporta
tion, elevation, quality of soil, timber and
general surroundings. This is being done by
the mo;t careful and experienced men to be
procured. All the conditions of every forty
acre lot will be so inspected and a grade or
price put upon it, and the books of each grade
describing each such lot will be of
record in this office for reference.
Out of this 20 per cent, vre must make our
sales and realize sufficient to pay taxes and
other heavy expenses attending grading, com
missions on sales, agencies, office expenses,
salaries, etc., as well as taxes upon the land* at
present unavailable.
Reporter—l note the force of what you say.
and, if a proper question to ask, what amount
of lands belonging to the company, if sold at
a fair value, as compared with private lands in
their vicinity, will it require to reimburse Mr.
Disston and his associates for their outlay?
Col. C.—l will answer that question.as I know
the facts. There is no question but that the
sale of 250,000 acres of these lands will reim
burse the company for their investment of
SI.OCO.COO and 'the contingent expenses to which
they have been subjected. An average price of
more than $5 can be had for these 250,000 acres,
and that by selling them at one-half the value
placed on private lands contiguous. Tran por
tation is the all-important agent to develop
Florida. That we are getting by no less
than four positive and two prospective rail
roads running through the very centre of our
selections for at least one thousand miles.
Aiong their lines we own the alternate sec
tions for six miles on either side, as well as all
the vacant lands outside of the six miles limit.
Mr. Disston has, by his policy, already doubled
the value of the lands that remain after sur
rendering the alternate sections to the railroads,
with a far greater prospective value when
these roads are completed and In operation.
By the contract, these roads must be finished
within three years, or their charters to the
unfinished portions will be forfeited to Mr.
Disston.
Reporter—l consider your views correct; but
do not such statements afford some b isis for
the charges made by some papers that “the
administration had given away tbe lands of
the State?”
Col. C.—This question can be readily an
swered. There was comparatively but a small
boom for Florida* until this sale was effected.
That transaction was a first-class advertise
ment and has given general publicity to tbe
advantages of this State. Made by business
men and heavy capitalists of great financial
capacity and admitted ability, the purchase
directed universal attention to the varied and
wonderful resources ot the Land of Flowers
and Fruits. The State Cabinet have.in this sale,
acted most wisely for the preeent and future in
terests of Florida. This is now admitted by
all ot the best minds in the State, and will be
conceded eventually by the few who now
oppose the measure- The situation was this:
The heavy claim, held hy Mr. Vose, and rest
ing upon the lands controlled bv the Board of
Internal Imprj-em“nt. a Mounted to $600,000
The sales of land for several years past
had not been sufficient to pay the
interest and legal expenses of the United
States Court, before whi :b tribunal the case
had been carried The interest was being com
pounded, and had this etate of affairs been al
lowed to continue, in a few years longer this
great fund would have been absorbed, the
State would have parted with its lands, while
the principal of the debt would have
been left as a legacy to all com
ing generations. The fund Is now free
from debt, and the lands unsold can
be utilized in encouraging the’ various
internal improvemen's in progress and pro
jected Immigration will be promoted and a
general impetus given to the development of
the State. The interest upon the debt is saved,
while a large domain is added to the taxable
property. The State is now a receiver instead
of a debtor, anfl has broken the chain that
clogged her movements and barred her passage
to prosperity. Asa State, she could not han
dle her domain with the same facility as it
could be managed by individuals. The
Interests of the State and the TANARUS) is* ten
Company are now identical, and will work in
entire harmony. It is the Intention of the com
pany to develop their lands by a policy that
will invite immigration, and thereby increase
the taxable resources of the State
Former administrations had attempted to
effect similar sales, but failed in their pur
poses, not for want of energy or desire, but
from their inability to reach the capital that
was necessary. It was the good fortune of
Governor Bloxham to be more fortunate, and
future generations, tf not this, will give him
ample credit for wisdom and sagacity
Reporter-Now what of the lands you speak
of as comparatively worthless?
Col. C.—That is an important point. When I
tell you that 90 per cent, of what are called
“swamp and overflowed lands” are in reality
the very beet portions of the State, you will I
know, be surprised. * It cannot be denied either
that the acreage of such lands that cannot be
reclaimed by drainage is very small. This is a
peculiar feature in the topography of the State
We propose to accomp isb by a system of drain,
qge what the State vyas unable to perform,
and to bring an immense area of very
valuable lands, now idle, into culti
vation. This will reqiure the ex
penditure of mueh money, and involves
great labor, but it will pay to do thi*. and we
intend to undertake the work. As soon as the
available lands are sold and under culture, the
low, flat lands adjoining will rise sufficiently
in value to warrant the expenditure necessary
to bring them into proper condition for culti
vation. You can see that this work will be
carried on for a long series of years, augment
ing the taxable resources of the State
making lands upon which valuable products
can be raised, and adding to the general wealth
and prosperity.
Reporter—Can you give me some figures as
to the proble cost of this method of dniinage t
Is it very expensive ?
Cot C.—Not very. I have in my mind, two
tracts of land embraced -u our Selections, to
whioh my attention has been specially directed.
One of these, comprehending six or seven
townships, or over lOO.OuO acres, I will contract
[£

ninety per cent, of these swamp lands, or
more, can be reclaimed, ana we are ready to
do the work when the demand for them arises
Reporter—Up to this time, you have been
speaking of the Land purchase. I thank you
for your candor and frankness, but. If I am
not tiresome, I know the public would be
pleased to hare your ideas on the Okeechobee
question.
Col. C.—Now you come to what I consider
the pet schemes of the day, and one that will
show greater results from the money expended
than any project erer gotten up in the coun
try. But this interview is becoming very
lengthy, and I have absolutely said more than
I intended at the outset.
Reporter—l beg, Colonel, that you will favor
me for a few minutes longer.
Col. C.—Well. The eight millions of acres
embraced in our drainage contract is simply in
this situation: The water fall of that region Is
completely held within the banks of Lake
Okeechobee, until excessive rains cause a rise
and overflow, and a eonsequent inundation of
the adjacent country, which extends to the
head or the Eslsimmee Valley, a distance of
over one hundred miles to the north. With a
fall of not less than twenty-five feet either to
the Oulf or Atlantic, the only question to be
considered is. “will water flow down grade ?”
This, of course, is in accordance with
natural laws. The next point to settle is,
“if you make the outflow greater than the
inflow, will there be any overflow?” That is
easily answered. Then, these points being
settled, the next step is to make these open
ings at the most suitable points. Start them,
and with the soft nature of the soil through
which they pass they will very soon deepen
and widen the passage by their own dynamic
force, and soon accomplish the desired object.
The lowering of the lake will make a reservoir
for an unusual rainfall, and with the canals
continually carrying off the surplus water, can
there ever be any danger of future overflow,
and will not the adjoining lands be forever free
from Inundation ? Our company is now pushing
their preparations vigorously. The land pur
chase has materially interfered with the work
upon the coast canal and Lake Okeechobee.
A dredge is now being constructed at Cedar
Key, and another contract has been made for
the building of a boat at Lake Tohopokaliga.
Machinery has also been ordered for another
vessel, to cut from fifty to fifty five feet wide,
for the coast canal. When these preparations
have been completed we shall be ready to go
to work in earnest.
Reporter—Have you estimated the cost of
lowering Okeechobee?
Col C.—l reply by saying that I will take the
contract for lowering the lake six feet for
•150,000. I will also agree to make the cuts on
the East Coast canal, making a channel fifty
feet wide and four deep, for the same amount,
and bind myself to perform both Jobs in
one year. These will open an inland steam
boat route for 330 miles, and reclaim
4,000.000 of acres of the finest land in
the United States at a cost of $300,000.
This is an immense result to be achieved with
so little capital. Valuing one-half of the Okee
chobee lands, when reclaimed, at $4,000,000 and
the Coast canal at another million, 1 think
the company has made a good investment. The
cost will be only 6 per cent, upon the value, at
a very low estimate. I would rather have this
stock than that of the largest dividend-paying
company upon the entire stock list.
Reporter -You appear to be quite enthusias
tic, Colonel
Colonel C.—l have reason to be. I have
based my opinions on facts and a careful study
of the subject for the past three years, with
an Intimate knowledge of the topography of
that section, derived from my own experience,
a- well as the reports of scientific engineers.
I am convinced of the correctness of my views,
and. to show my faith, hold myself in readiness
to take the contracts for the sum specified.
Now. Mr. Reporter, as I presume you intend
to publish the substance of this interview. I
wish you to make it distinctly appear that the
views I have expressed are given to you as an
individual, and not in ray official character as
a director or superintendent df the companies.
Reporter—l so understand it. Colonel Much
obliged. Good morning, sir. W. H. B.
NOTES FROM NEW YORK.
An End to Menraloc-Tbe French
finest* Honors and Courtesies
Extended Them.
New Yobk, October 12. —It is no sign of our
metropolitan heartlessness, but rather an Illus
tration of the necessity for change, craved by
human nature at large, that the sable habili
ments of woe which a fortnight ago were the
mute expressors of our universal sorrow no
longer trail through our marble halls like
“garments of the night.” A short time since,
and “hung be the heavens with black,” we cried
aloud in our grief. Three brief weeks have
passed, the funeral baked-meatg are scarcely
cold, and we resume our quondam vocations,
divest ourselves of mourning and pursue once
again the even tenor of our way. It was a rare
and excellent opportunity given us after those
first days of poignant grief further to assuage
its pangs and regrets by mingling, with memo
ries of the past, thoughts for the living
present, and conjuring to our sides the images
of hope and charity. There is not a
man but now believes the country has been
chastened and purified by these prayers and
tears. If ever there was to be a time when
North asd South should forget past differences
and In a mutual sorrow swear fidelity, friend
ship and brotherhood, this it was. Heaven
grant it so! May the vision of Webster be the
heart-spoken watchword of our whole people,
“Now and forever, one and inseparable!”
The sojourn of the French euests of the
nation in New York was short and quite
sweet. The appointment by the Governor
some time since of a committee of fifteen
gentlemen whose duty it should be to care for
the wants and comforts of our visitors,
seemed to guarantee for them a “jolly good
time” while here. The gentlemen appointed
are many of them descendants from
families of Revolutionary name and im
portance, a few speaking choioe French, and
all occupying social positions of great if not
giddy height. The Committee of Fifteen and
the descendants of Lafayette. Roebambeau
and DeGrasse thus had many points in com
mon; the more so, as on the trip up the Hud
son to West Point our hosts took care to have
their handsome and accomplished daughters
with them, which gives rise to the query, why
may not the union of hearts which we all ac
knowledge with France to-dav be supplement
ed bv a union of hands on a future and more
specific occasion? Since we in New York have
had the first look at our French friends we are
perhaps, entitled to the first bits of comment'
They are a gallant and distingue set of
men. The three ladies accompany Ing the party
are.of course, objects of great interest. In their
dress there is certainly nothing particularly
noticeabie. I venture te predict, however, we
shall have before long La Marquise bonnets
and L ouseau gloves and perhaps coverings a
la. Mason. There is no doubt about it. I no

Henceforth we are going to be nothing if not
rrCDCII.
Our visitors were awaited with an anxiety, if
not so intense as on another occasion about
one hundred and three years ago, yet I doubt
not ccupled with infinitely more curicslty. It
k*"® tnore than fifty years since we last
did public homage to the name of Lafayette
, If- then, was something novel connected
with what was besides very tender and very
dear to us. Who would not do honor to the
memory of him who said that from the mo
ment he heard of A merican Independence his
heart was enlisted ! So, when at length the
Canada, bearing our guests, did enter the Nar
rows, we all gloried in their arrival on our soil,
and looked upon their reception by an impos
ing array of our menof-var, with cannon
booming and flag-dipping, as eminently fitting
and Inspiring Of course, those who remember
the arrival of Lafayette in 1824 will enthuse
over that occasion with all the ardor evoked
by the recollection of a past and glorious
event But comparisons are odious. Lafayette
was then the hero in propria persona • these
are but the descendants whom we desire to
honor as representatives of a revered anoestor.
The French hake been very good and kind to
us in the past: perhaps we qannot ever really
repay them. And even now they constantly
show us marks of their favor and appreciation.
A few years ago the French Government pre
sented this city with a status of Lafayette,
which now stands in Union square; and more
recently the government has asd us to
accept the magnificent statue of “Liberty En
lightening the World,” which will shed it
eon light from Bedloe's Island <7, New York
bay. The peat sculptor Bartholdi is modeling
this gigantic worF Q t art, which, when placed
upon its ““iegtal, will be a very Colossus.
- ur visitors were regaled on the day of their
arrival with a close inspection of one of the
most <■ haracteristio of American institutions.
A Republican State Convention was about to
meet Delegates and local politicians were
making the Fifth Avenue Hotel their bead
quarters. the very place where the French
party w. re to be lodged. The corridors of the
hotel, a kind of modern forum for the dis
cussion of politic* and the canvassing of can
didates were crowded with our “statesmen”
when the guests arrived. The cry of “the
French!” echoed along the marble hallways to
the barroom, and more than one Demosthenes
temporarily “closed.” The foreigners must
have wondered to see so many notables assem
bled together and displaying such great agility
in solving that incomprehensible
puzzle to a true Frenchman, the
American “mixed drink.” But these patriotic
and laborious “workers,” of whom I speak, did
not pav much attention to anything so light
and trifling as a Frenchman; they were con
sumed for the most part with an intense ear
nestness in deciding upon the merits of a cer
tain great unknown, who, I believe, had dis
tinguished himself as a subtile manager of
“primaries.” Well, peace be with these poor
statesmen. They vanished the following
evening.
For three days the tri-oolor waved from our
house tops, and the “Marseillaise” resounded
stirringly through the streets. Organ grinders
whose repertoire included that glorious chant
reaped a golden harvest Our regiments were
afoot, parading and being reviewed for tbs
benefit of the martial gentlemen of France

Pavajwah, October 8, 1881.
THE Board of Trustees of the Georgia In
firmary or Hospital for colored persons
are constrained herewith to appeal to a gener
ous public for pecuniary assistance in behalf
of the institution committed to their charge
The recent ttorm on the 28ih of August ui*i
mo inflicted e“tensive and serious damage
upon the Hospital building, almost totally
destroying the roo.', and rendering the upper
wards entirely uninhabitable. Tbe repairs
which have thus been rendered necessary, in
order to restore the structure to usefulness
have involved an expenditure whioh the limited
resources of the institution can ill afford to
meet, and the Trustees are compelled, there
fore, to ask for assistance from without. The
Board feel assured that, notwithstanding the
fact that many calls are made upon our peo
ple. that this appeal on behalf of their trust
will meet with that substantial recognition
which our citizens are always ready to extend
to a worthy object, and that the unrewarded
efforts of the Trustees to minister to the wants
f nd necessities of the sick poor of our colored
population will meet that appreciation which
may justly be expected.
