TUESDAY. MARCH 18*2.
Scoville has withdrawn from Gui
teau's case. He stood by his client to
the last, although he received from him
in return nothing but abuse and villifi
cation. Nobody blames Scoville for
this, but everybody echoes the hope that
he will refrain from lecturing.
Rumors as to what the President will
do with the anti Chinese bill are con
flicting. It is believed by some that he
will promptly sign it; by others that he
is opposed to the extreme provisions of
the measure, and favors a prohibition
of immigration for a length of time
not exceeding five years.
Judge E. SL Julian Cox, of Minnesota,
has been removed from the bench by
verdict of the State Senate, Eitting as a
high court of impeachment, on the
charge of chronic drunkenness. He was
a local politician of prominence in his
State, and owed his election as Judge of
the Ninth Judicial District of St. Paui
to his popularity among the roughs of
that city.
Chinese residents of the L nited States
who, being already here, will not be
affected by the Miller law further than
they cannot become naturalized citizens,
number about 100,000. They will be
benefited by the law inasmuch as it will
save them from competition with the
cheap labor of their fellow citizens here
after. Whether they will remain to
themselves and become a peculiar peo
ple, or whether they will gradually be
come Americanized, are subjects of in
teresting speculation.
Miss Mary Hall, sister of Hon. Ezra
Hall, a lawyer and politician of Connec
ticut, made application for admission to
the bar of that State a few days ago. The
application was referred to an examining
committee, and was presented in the
Hartford county bar meeting by Hon.
John Harper, reporter of the Connecti
cut Supreme Court, and husband of Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker, a prominent
woman-rights advocate. This is the first
application of this character which has
ever been made in the nutmeg State.
Parson Newnan, Grant’s chaplain, and
who formerly enjoyed immense ease in
Zion by being appointed by Grant to a
fat position as Inspector of Consulates or
something of that sort, preached a ser
mon a few days ago against luxury. He
warned his New York congregation of
millionaires against yielding to the sweet
things of earth, and to embrace piety
and simple living. The millionaires in
their luxurious pews listened in wrapt
admiration to his eloquence and remark
ed “we pay him $lO,OOO a year to preach
like that.”
A movement is well under way for the
formation of a central organization of
labor unions of New York and the
neighborhood, the province of which
will be to take action on matters affect
ing the general interests of labor. The
contract system of prison labor is the
immediate object of united action, but
it is proposed to maintain a permanent
organization. Already forty trades
unions and labor clubs have connected
themselves with the movement. Among
them are the framers, horseshoers, ma
sons, blacksmiths and wheelwrights,
furniture makers, bricklayers, silk
weavers, longshoremen, cabinet makers,
piano makers, bakers, bookbinders,
roofers, house painters, clothing cutters,
plasterers, tailors, shoemakers, brass
workers, fresco painters, carpenters and
upholsterers. It is the avowed purpose
to make the weight of the organization
felt in politics whenever that is necessary
for the protection of the interests of labor.
According to the census, there is a
mistake somewhere. The large con
sumption of liquor in the South has
been frequently commented on, but it
seems that the people in our section
have been—chiefly for partisan pur
poses—misrepresented as a whisky
drinking and intemperate people, and
our other sins and weaknesses have
been attributed to this one as the chief
cause thereof. According to the census,
however, the number of retail liquor
shops in. the North, as compared with
the number of inhabitants, is largely in
excess of those in the South. In Maine
there is one grog shop to every 791 in
habitants; in Massachusetts one to every
245; in Connecticut one to every 235;
while in South Carolina there was one
only to each 910 inhabitants. There
were the same number of liquor shops
(7,279) in Massachusetts as there were in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama and Florida combine-1 and con
taining a population three times that of
Massachusetts.
The New York Time* announces thit
there is in process of formation in that
city a society for the prevention of
cruelty to books, which intends, 89 its
first active measure, to obtain the passage
of a law punishing such cruelty with
fine and imprisonment It will oppose
this sort of cruelty, not merely because
it brings pain and suffering to books, but
because it is horribly demoralizing to
those who indulge in it and those who
witness it. “What man,” asks the Timet,
“can have any real love for books, any
true respect for literature, who habitually
treats books with brutality ? How can
we expect our children to love and re
spect the books that they see U3 and
other men lacerate, bruise and maim ?
And how can we hope that those who
are habitually cruel to books will be
gentle and considerate to human beings
and to animals? It is in the best interests
of humanity that cruelty to books should
be suppressed, and the argument in
favor of the passage of the desired law
should be irresistible. ”
The pension arrears act continually
crops up as the source of new charges on
the Treasury. At present the Commis
sioner of Pensions employs 742 men,
whose annual salaries amount to s£Bs, •
000. To adjust within three years the
claims now pending will require a force
of 1,159 men, and an annual expenditure
of $1,957,000. In addition to the increas
ed appropriation for the Pension Office,
a corresponding increase of force and ex
penditures will be needed in the offices of
the Adjutant General and Surgeon Gen
eral. the Second Comptroller and Third
Auditor of the Treasury. The New York
Times thinks that “about the only con
soling reflections suggested by the pen
sion arrears job are that it is likely to
have a most beneficial effect on the long
evity of a considerable portion of our
people, and that its vast proportions
will operate as a powerful deterrent
against any policy likely to drag the
United States into a foreign war. Our
great army of pensioners ought to be a
reminder of the cost of inter
rupting the peaceful pursuit* of a free
neoDle. n

The Administration and the South.
When President Arthur seat his firs),
official message to Congress, the fact that
he made no allusion therein to the South
was universally regarded as a favorable
indication. His predecessors for twenty
years past had, esch and all, felt it in
cumtent upon them to dwell at more or
less length upon the “still rebellious
South,” for the sole purpose of keeping
up sectional hate and making political
capital for the Republican party. When
Mr. Arthur, therefore, made such a wide
departure from the numerous precedents
which had been established for him, it
was welcomed throughout the land as a
good omen, and a sign that he intended
to know no sectional lines, but be the
President of the whole United States.
But iu a great many ways Mr. Arthur
has disappointed public expectation in
this respect. He has plainly shown that
he is body and soul committed to stal
w&rtism, and every now and then un
mistakable evidences of his intention to
radicalize the country, if he can, are
presented. His nomination of Conkling
to the S ipreme Bench ; his own declara
tion that it would be one of the chief
end and aims of his administration to
strengthen his party in the South ; hi 9
continuing not only to confer office upon
the old political hacks of his party in
this section, but to select for Federal
offices the most objectionable of toe so
called Southern Republicans; and
last, but not least, the
evident influence which General
Grant exerts over him, all combine to
show that in the bottom of his heart
President Arthur possesses no affection
for the South, and that our section has
nothing to hope for from his administra
tion. While he keeps silence he goes on
acting steadily against the wishes and in
terests of the vast majority of the wealth
and intelligence of our people, and his
animosity is all the more noticea
ble because, while he carefully
abstains from villification and malig
nant abuse of the South, he permits no
opportunity to pass to practically demon
strate the fact that he is actuated towards
her by no spirit of friendliness or good
will. He shows, in a word, that he is
as much the stalwart partisan in the
White House that he was in the New
York Custom House, and that when the
interests of the country clash with those
of his party, the former must yield.
The latest evidence of this spirit which
the present adnlinistration has developed
was given to the public on Friday morn
ing last, when the pronunciamento of
United States Attorney General Brew
ster to Dallas Sanders, United States Dis
trict Attorney at Charleston, was pub
lished. In his letter the Attorney Gen
eral clearly foreshadowed the purposes
and plans of the administration towards
our people, and that it is the evident de
termination, slowly and cautiously per"
haps, but none the less surely, to revive,
if possible, the horrors of Grantism. He
writes to Mr. Sanders that as a result of
the Congressional contest between
Smalls and Tillman, of South Carolina,
it has been shown that abuses of the
right of suffrage have been indulged in
in our sister State, and that he desires
these matters to be fully investigated.
And the tenor of his entire communica
tion may be readily understood from one
expression therein as follows: “I say the
highest and most responsible people are
those whom I desire to be first prose
cuted and first pursued. There will be
no examples if merely insignificant per
sons are taken hold of.”
Now, what does this mean? Simply
that old, stale, wornout Radical stories
regarding South Carolina are to be re
vamped, so that her citizens may be arrest
ed, dragged before Federal courts, and
tried on trumped up charges, all in the
hope that sectional feeling may be re
vived against the South. It is simply
carrying into execution Mr. Arthur’s an
nounced determination to leave no means
untried for capturing the South for his
party in 1884, and South Carolina seems
to be the most promising State upon
which to begin operations. According
to our Charleston contemporary, the
election laws of the State have not
been violated. The election officers,
who it is proposed to have arrested,
and brought to trial before Federal
courts, were appointed under the laws
of the State, and they have performed
their duty to tbe satisfaction of the com
monwealth. The Federal courts have
therefore nothing whatever to do with
them; but that they may be arrested
and brought before those courts
for the benefit of Mr. Arthur’s party,
they are to be accused of having violated
some United States law. Our Charles
ton contemporary is perfectly correct
when it says that the object of the stal
wart wing of the Republican
party, as revealed in the letter
of Attorney General Brewster, is
“to Africanize South Carolina,” and
deprive the people of that State of tran
quility, security and justice, so that its
electoral vote may possibly be captured
in 1884.
This Radical conspiracy against good
government in our sister State is really
a matter of as much concern to the whole
country as it is to the South. Under the
conservative influences of Garfield’s ad
ministration, the country was at peace
and prospering, sectional hate was fast
beginning to disappear, and the benefi
cent effect thereof was making itself felt
throughout the length and breadth of the
land. Now Guiteau’s shot threatens to
effectually change this desirable condition
of affairs, and partisan malice is once
more coming to tbc fore to incite and
foment internal dissension. That this
spirit on the part of the adminis
tration can only affect the whole
country injuriously is undeniable. The
North and South together, for their
mutual interests, should unite in repro
bating the course of the administration,
and so show to Mr. Arthur that a return
to the days and scenes of Grantism will
not be tolerated.
In referring to tbe New York Tri
bune'* famous remedy for tbe loss of
American shipping and commerce—viz.:
“To supply merchants with a proper
amount of steam tonnage and to enlarge
the production of steam vessels”—the
Evening Pott says that it is wholly unde
niable and is a universal remedy. The
reason why so many men fail after years
of toil, to become rich or even moder
ately comfortable, is because they have
failed to supply themselves with a proper
amount of money. Many persons are
scantily clothed because they do not
order and pay for enough clothing. If
they only did that they wouldn't lack for
clothing. If sick people would supply
themselves with sufficient vitality, they
wouldn’t be sick.
‘ Betty and the baby” are still engross
ing public attention. A dime subscrip
tion for them has been opened in Phila
delphia, and is getting very popular.
Sergeant Mason’s shot at Guiteau bids
fair yet to prove the best piece of busi
ness wisdom that be has ever displayed.
The Philadelphia dime subscription,
which was started by the Prett, averages,
according to that paper, one hundred
dollars per day.
The Pacific Mill* Strike.
Various are the comments which have
been passed upon the great strike now
in progress at the Pacific Mills of
Lawrence, Massachusetts. Most of those
which we have seeD, while they have
been non-committal, were rather against
than in favor of the strike. Such is not
the absolute rule, however, and certain
of our Massachusetts exchanges deci.
dedly favor the cause of the striking
employes.
It seems that these mills have been
among the most successful in the coun
try, the stock having doubled in value,
and paid handsome profits to the hold
ers oesides. A surplus of nearly $2,000,-
000 has been accumulated, and this large
sum conveys an idea of the immense
success which has attended the corpora
tion. Under previous administrations
the management was generous to the
employes, and manifested a dis
position to be both just and lib
eral But, under the present admin
istration, this has all changed, and the
Dolicy has recently been to cut down
wages to the lowest point, notwith
standing the enormous profits realized
while there has been manifested such an
entire lack of liberality, and even jus
tice, that the discontent, which finally
culminated in the present troubles, was
fomented.
Whether these charges against the
management of the mills are literally
true of not, of course we know not, but
we gather them from a Boston paper,
which discusses the subject of the pres
ent strike apparently fairly and dispas
sionately, and which declares that the
present action of the Pacific Mills’ man
agement is decidedly wrong, and de
serves to be condemned. Our contempo
rary declares also that the workmen have
acted in a fair, just and moderate spirit
are in tbe right and ought to be sustain
ed not alone in Lawrence, but by tbe
liberal people of every community in the
country. It further expresses the opin
ion that a corporation which has paid to
its stockholders dividends for nineteen
consecutive years, averaging $500,000 per
year—and aggregating nearly $10,000,-
000 —and spends several millions for new
mills, machinery, etc., in addition, ought
to be condemned for starting out in the
third month of its twentieth year by cut
ting down the wages of its employes.
It certainly does seem, if these criti
cisms of our Massachusetts contemporary
are at all jus*, that the unexampled pros
perity of these mills has evidently tended
to make the management niggardly,
narrow and mean, and doubtless the
sooner action is reversed the better.
The first State election in 1882 will be
held next month in Rhode Island, the
only State in the Union which has not a
republican form of government. The
next election will be in Oregon, at and will
involve a choice of State officers and mem
bers of the Legislature, and the Legisla
ture, when assembled, will choose a
United States Senator for the term com
mencing on the 4th of March next. The
States of Alabama, Kentucky and Ten
nessee will hold their elections in August.
In Tennessee a State ticket and members
of the Legislature will be chosen, and
the Legislature will choose a United
States Senator for the term commencing
on the 4th of March next. I Kentucky
a Clerk of the Court of App ils will be
the only State officer choseD. In Alaba
ma State officers and members of the
Legislature will be elected, and the
choice of a United States Sena
tor for the next term will de
pend upon the complexion of a
majority of the Legislature. The State
of Maine will elect a Governor and mem
bers of the Legislature in September, and
so will Vermont Indiana, fortunately
for its people, has been taken out of the
list of States holding their elections in
October, and will leave all of tbe
interest usually attaching to the con
tests in that month to Ohio, Colo
rado, West Virginia and Georgia. In
diana will elect a portion of her State
ticket and Legislature,-also Congressmen
in November. Other States to choose
Congressmen and elect State officers in
November are Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Nebraska, New York, Nevada, Pennsyl
vania, South Carolina, Texas, Wiscon
siD, Minnesota, Michigan, Florida, North
Carolina and California.
The death is announced from Wash
ington of Rear Admiral Gustavus H.
Scott, a retired officer in the United
States navy. He was born in Virginia
June 13, 1812, and in 1828 was appointed
from that State to the frigate Guer
riere, of the Pacific squadron, afterward
serving on the naval schooner Experi
ment. His first promotion, to passed
midshipman, occurred in June, 1834,
when he wa3 twenty-two years old.
Young Scott served in the West India
squadron until 1840, and afterward on
the frigates Columbus and United States
in the Mediterranean squadron, and the
St. Lawrence in the Pacific fleet. He was
commissioned Lieutenant February 25,
1841; Commander, December 27, 1856,
and Captain, November 4, 1863. Dur
ing the war he commanded successively
the gunboat Morataoza and the steamers
De Soto and Canandaigua, in the block
ading fquadron. Captain Scott was a
member of the Examining Board in Phil
adelphia in 1868, commissioned Commo
dore 1860 and Rear-Admiral in 1873,
In that year be commanded the North
Atlantic squadron,and under orders from
the Secretary of the Navy proceeded to
Key West when the trouble between the
United States and Spain gave cause for
serious apprehension. He there arranged
for the surrender of the Virginius and
put an end to the Spanish controversy.
Indian tea growing has received a mar
velous development in the past ten
years, beginning originally under gov
ernment subventions, and the Anglo-
Indian Government made last year a
grant of $5,000, adding the sum to $lO,-
000 raised by subscription, to introduce
the tea in Australia. Asa result, the
exportation of tea to the South Pacific
colonies rose last year to 7*0,000 pounds,
against 86,628 the year before. This
year the same agency is to make an
effort to put Indian tea on the American
market. Asa large share of our China
tea comes not by way of the Pacific but
through the Suez canal, distance favors
Indian tea. It made its first appearance
in New York a year or so ago; but the
importations are as yet trivial, and it is
doubtful if its strong, not to say rank,
qualities will suit the American palate.
Senator Miller, of New York, has ac
quired a munificent fortune through
the high protective tariff on wood pulp.
On Friday last he opposed the tariff com
mission resolution probably because he
did not wifh the tariff question to be
brought into puM’c prominence through
a discussion of that measure. In the
course of his remarks, when Mr. Morgan,
of Alabama, hinted that he was actuated
by purely selfish motives, and favored
protection because be wished to continue
to levy tribute upon all consumers of
paper made from wood pulp, it embar
rassed him considerably.

Pacific coast papers represent that there
is this season an extraordinary scarcity of
salmon in the Sacramento river, and that in
consequence the several canneries have as
yet been unable to start up. It Is attributed
to the low s‘ate of the water during the

highest point ever known, and extraordinary
quantities of salmon were taken in the river.

Vanity Fair, of London, makes General
Schenck the author of the present English

General Schenck, In amiably writing out the
rules of the game at the request of Lady

have any, that peker-playine would become
the after-dinner rage of English society,
that a youth just of age would lose five
times more than his yearly Income, or that
one diner-out could make £lO,OOO last year.
The scarcity of farm labor is seriously felt
In Chester county, Pa., and some of the
farmers in that section, It Is said, fear they
will have much difficulty In procuring suit
able help for the spring and summer sea
sons. A number of farmers In New London
township have sought to overcome the diffi
culty by Importing colored labor from Vir
ginia. A squad of eight or ten colored
laborers were brought from Spottsylvania
county a week or two ago, and others, It is
said, will be engaged. Borne of them were
employed In Chester county last year, and
gave very general satisfaction.

The Norwich (Conn.) Bulletin relates the
story of a Norwich town m*u and his dog.
The dog had been a pet, but was old, and it
was deemed best to put hlm*to a painless
death. The family voted In favor of chlo

and was applied to the animal’s nose as he
lay on the hearth late one evening. The
dog quietly inhaled it and peacefully passed
to a comatose state. The master, as be bore
the llmD form to the woodshed, remarked:
“Poor Dick, I will bury him in the morn
ing.” In the morning he went to the shed
to act the part of grave digger, when the
dog, with the sponge still tied to his nose,
welcomed his master with a familiar bark,
and appeared as grateful as if be had been
tbe recipient of a favor. It has been de

Tributes of the Frees to Colonel W.
T. Thompson.
The Atlanta Constitut ion.commenting on the
tolegraphic dispatch announcing Col. Thomp
son's death, says: “His last hours were peace
ful, and his mind was clear almost to tbe end.
He died as he had drsired, with his loved ones
around him and his eyes resting upon the
noble wife who had been the ministering angel
of his life and his consolation in his last trials.
He passed away with a Christian’s faith in the
life beyond the grave. The impression of his
life is engraved upon Georgia’s history. He
leaves to his family and his people the legacy
of an honorable name.”
Charleston News and Courier.
The death of Major Thompson, the editor of
the Savannah News, causes sincere regret
wherever he was known. Certainly he was one
of the most influential journalists in the South,
and he was the oldest member of the profes
sion in Georgia.
He was born in Ravenna, Ohio, August 31,
1812, his parents being among the pioneer set
tlers ef the Western Reserve. He was the first
white child born in that section. His mother
was an Irish lady whose father had taken part
in the revolution of 1798, and emigrated to
America. His father was a Virginian, and
from the union of these two races the son drew
that combined humor and sound sense
which marked his labor as a literary man.
He left the West on the death of his
parents, in his eleventh year, and obtained
employment in the office of a Phila
delphia newspaper, where he gained
his first idea of newspaper life. He afterward
studied for the tar, thinking to make the law
his calling, and became secretary to the late
Governor Wescott, of Florida, and continued
his studies in the latte/’s office. In 1 835,
however, he removed to Georgia and became
connected with Judge Longstreet, then a news
paper editor. Their business re’atious were for
a while broken up by young Tho npson joining
as a government volunteer in the Seminole
war. He left the service after a year’s cam
paign and returned to newspaper writing. In
1836 he established the first literary weekly
newspaper—the Mirror —ever published in
Georgia. Boon after he married the daughter
of a prominent Augusta merchant, to whose ge
nial sympathy and interest was due much of
the work that made the success of his
humorous book “Major Jones’ Courtship.”
The Mirror was subsequently merged
into the Family Compcnicn, a monthly,
of which Colonel Thompson was editor for a
short time only. Afterward he was editor of
the Miscellany, of Madison, Ga., and later still
of the Western Continent , of Baltimore, which
he left after a profitable connection and
founded the News. in Savannah. During the
war he was Aide to Gove-nor Brown, and later
on was active in Democratic politics. Among
his other books, written at intervals between
his active newswaper work, were “The Chroni
cle* of Pineville” and “Major Jones’Travels,”
and he also wrote a farce. “The Live Indian,”
which John E. Owens produced with success,
and a dramatization of “The Vicar of Wake
field ” His legal studies bore fruit in 1845 in
the preparation of a codification of the laws of
Georgia.
Major Thompson was wat .n-hearted and
sincere, as well as accomplished, and was as
true as steel in his allegiance to the South and
to the Democratic party. There was old
faghioned faithfulness in his professional life
and in all his dealings.

The telegraph announces the death at Savan
nah of William Tappan Thompson, for con
siderably over a quarter of "a century the
managing editor or the Savannah News, and
fami iar to American readers as author ef
“Major Jones’ Courtship” and other humorous
sketches, the last edition of which was brought
out by D. Appleton & Cos., of New York, some
ten years since, prefaced with the author's
dedication to his wife, “the dear companion
who blessed the morning, cheered the noon
and brightens the evening of my life.” While
he occupied a place in the front rank of South
ern journalists, as managing editor of one
of the most influential and ably con
ducted of Southern newspapers, his fame
as a humorist was his chief distinction,
and so widely popular was the familiar account
of the adventures of "Major Jones.” that Mr.
Thompson was better known as “Major Jones,”
In which character he was usually introduced
to visiting strangers in Savannah than as Mr
Thompson. Nearly forty years have elapsed
since the Jones sketches of Georgia rustic life
and character were first written to give variety
and local interest to the columns of a Georgia
country newspaper. In the preservation of the
h eal dialect or patois peculiar to Georgia rural
districts, he was not less successful than a later
humoris*, Mr. Harris, of Atlanta, in the pre
sentation of the dialect of the Southern negro.
In bis later years, Mr. Thompson's industri
ous pen has been employed upon matters of a
more serious nature, and with increasing years
and responsibilities the lighter vein has been
abandoned to the graver considerations per
taming to the exacting duties of managing
editor of a daily newspaper. Butin this field
he has been entertaining and Instructive—a
writer strong, forcible and evenly balanced
To those who knew him closest and
best, his genial companionship will be
sadly missed. Western visitors to Savan
nah during the memorable Green Line excur
sion will not forget, among the hearty Savan
nah welcomes—characteristically Southern—
l“e cordial greeting and hearty hospitality
or Major Jones,” his fascination as a charm

'Hie people of Florida will hear with genuine
and sincere regret of the death of Colonel W.
r. Thompson, of the Savannah Morning News.
The journal with which he has been so long
and mtimatey connected was, for many years
previous to the establishment of dailies in this
State, almost the only source from which the
E?. e J‘?r , £, t 8 , and Professional men of East and
Middle Florida obtained their general informa
tion. Hence the News has always exerted great
influence In directing the politics and calling
attention to the material interests of Florida.
Colonel Thompson was always a warm and
outspoken friend of Florida, and never
omitted to say a seasonable word in her favor
He served with the army during the dark and
gloomy days of the first war with the Semi
noles, and ever cherished a deep interest in all
that related to her prosperity. It was one of
his greatest pleasures to revisit the State, and
to recall, when in company with old comrades,
reminiscences of the days that tried men’s
souls.
He was a singularly attractive companion,
and his fund of anecdote, conversational abili
ties and extensive stock of varied information
rendered him always a welcome guest in social
circles.
Every chord of his manly and genial nature
beat in accord with the cause of the South,
and he was most eloquent when engaged in
defense of her rights and honor.
He was truly a landmark iu the ranks of
Southern journalists, and this loss will be
severely Telt by all of the members of that
honorable body.
The library of works of American Humor
was greatly enriched by his contributions, and
his “Chronicles of Pineville.” “Scenes in Geor
gia” “Major Jones' Courtship” and other works
have achieved a wide popularity.
He had reached the scriptural period of life
three score and ted—and passed away, full of
vears and honor, leaving an unsullied reputa
tion and the record of a long season of useful
ness.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
After a long and eventfui editorial career
the weary brain of Colonel Wm. T. Thompson,
editor of the Bavannah Morning News has
found rest from its toil in the sleep that Knows
no waking until the archangel’s trumpet shall
proclaim the dawn of eternal day. After bat
tling in life’s fitful fever for seventy years, he
fell asleep at his residence in Savannah on the
22d inst. He has been managing editor of the
News since it was first established thirty-two
years ago, and his writings have been
characterized by the highest type of the
scholar, the patriot and tho ’gentle
man. Asa political writer he was strong and
forcible—always just and liberal—his articles
were filled with logio, ever founded on reason
His pen flashed at every stroke with a feeling
that was worthy of the man. He was one of
the leading editors in the State, and in his
death a blow is given to Georgia journalism.
Under his charge the paper he so ably edited
advanced to the front rank of Southern news
papers Tho-e who knew him will erect in
the temple of memory a lasting recol
lection or his good work and the no
ble traits of his character. But
his labors were not entirely confined to news
paper writing, and he has given us humorous
literature that will live for ages upon ages,
and has made the author popular upou two
continents. He was the author of “Major
Jones' Courtship,” The Chronicles of
Pineville,” % dramatization of “The Vicar cf
Wakefield.’' and “The Live Indian,” a comedy
out of which the comedian John E. Owens
made fame and money without pay to the
author.
But his work is ended and his hands are
folded upon his cold breast, and their labors
are done. That they may find in the beautiful
abode of the blest another mission and a higher
purpose is thq wish of all who knew him per
sonally. and of all who are bound to him by an
electric chain of human sympathy and broth
erhood.
Atlanta Post-Appeal.
Col William Tappan Tnompson, editor of
the Savannah News, died yesterday afternoon
at his residence in Savannah at the ripe age of
three score and ten. The people of Georgia
are so familiar with the leading points in the
life of Col. Thompson that It is unnecessary
to enter into details here. Deceased was born
in Ravenna, Ohio. He entered journalism
early in life, and after a connection with sev
eral leading papers, became the editor of the
Savannah News in 1850, a position which be
held until his death. “Major Jones’ Courtship,”
“Major Jones' Travels" and the “Chronicles of
Pineville” fixed the reputation of Colonel
Thompson as a humorist nearly half a centnry
ago, and the roaring farce of “The Live Indian'’
is the most successful American production of
Its kind ever put upon the stage. The veteran
journalist passed away full of years and full of
honors. He was universally beloved and re
spected. and his death will be sincerely mourn
ed by thousands.
Wilmington (N. C.) Morning Star.
The Southern press has lost one of its ablest
editors, and possibly its oldest, in the death of
Colonel William T. Thompson, of the Savannah
News. For thirty-two years he has presided
over the columns of that now large and in
fluential paper. He is well known as a humor
ist of that school of which Johnston Hooper, a
Wilmington boy, and Thorpe and Longstreet
and Baldwin were the highest representatives.
Colonel Thompson’s; “Major Jones’ Courtship”
has been laughed over in tens of thousands of
households. It will be learned with regret that
the “tODgue which set the table in a roar” is
now still forever, and that the hand which
traced the broad fun and the genial humor
which so many have enjoyed Is cold. Peace
to his spirit and greenness to his memory i

Mr. Pastor saul that he considered the
L | Great German Remedy an excellent
.iirs*r preparation for the cure or relief oi
rheumatism, and thatjit was the only
thing used among professional people for that
distressing complaint. He took bottles of it with
him whenever he went traveling, and would
not be without it, and knew that it was very popu
lar with a number of members of hisowncom
panv. The foregoing, from the Brooklyn (X. Y.)
Eagle, recalls to our mind an item wherein the
editor of the Cairo (111.) Evening Sun, in paying a
tribute to the enterprise of the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch, and expressing his sorrow at the loss by
fire which the latter pape^sustained,says: “The
whole office was knocked into ten thousand
pieces—all except the St. Jacobs Oil advertise
ment, which was mercifully preserved.” The
closing remarks in the above and the following
incident are a true index of the unexampled
popularitv the Great German Remedy enjoys
everywhere: At a St. Louis theatre recently
whilst the play was in progress, one of the lady
performers met with a painful mishap, which
quite disabled her. The ncro of the piece, equal
to the emergency, called out to one of the ushers
to "bring a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil quickly.
The thundering applause throughout the entire
house which promptly followed this happy sug
gestion was an unmistakable proof of the fact
that the audience “ had been there themselves,”
as the expression goes, and experienced the ben
efits of this wonderful article.
Mr. Charles A. Whitney, advertising agent of
Park Garden, Prqyidenee, R. 1., writes: “For
three years I had inflammatory rheumatism in
mv right hip and knee. I employed many noted
physicians, ana tried numerous remedies for the
ailment, but found nothing to help me until I
used the Great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil,
Which cured me atrouce. lum now entirely well."
