Savannah morning news
J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR,
ten miles distant, north of Tallahassee, Satur
day, the boiler of Colonel John Bradford's saw
and grist mill exploded, killing outright the
miller. Mac Richardson (colored). A little
colored boy’s head was crushed, Abram Foot
man had one leg blown off, and John Wells
was quite badly injured about the ankle. A
woman who was in the mill at the time re
ceived injuries which may prove fatal. All
the sufferers are colored.
Quincy Herald : “A house of Charles Arm
stead, colored, on the *Oee place,’ about four
miles from tov n. containing kitchen furniture,
and used as the sleeDing room of his children,
was burned down last Wednesday night. He
was aroused at a very late hour by the screams
of bis children, who had gone to bed, but fas
tened the door on the inside, and were so
badly frightened as not to know how to escape,
and he had much difficulty in rescuing them
from the flames The origin was evidently
from the Are made by the children on retiring
at a late hour.”
The Bartow Informant gives the following
account of the shooting of Morgan last week :
“G. W. Morgan was waylaid and shot in Peace
Creek bottom on Tuesday morning, while on
horseback hunting cattle. Several buckshot
were lodged in his body, but leaving his horse
which was also severely wounded, he managed
to reach his home, where Dr. Furguson speed
ily arrived, and has been unremitting in hia
attentions. As we go to press (Friday after
noon) we learn that the wounded man is rest
ing easy, and that the chances are in favor of
his recovery. Sheriff Gresham started with a
posse, as soon as he heard of the affair, to pur
sue the assassins (it is said there were two of
them), and followed their traces as far as the
banks of i he creek, where they were lost.”
Leesburg Advance: “Thursday and Friday
witnessed tbe grandest celebration and festivi
ties at Tavares, the new city of the lakes, that
has ever been enjoyed by the citizens of South
Florida The occasion was that of celebrating
the opening of the canal and ‘inaugurating
Tavares as the centre of commerce for South
Florida’ The town was in its glory. Every
body and hi* wife were there, and the children.
Young folks and old folks united in enjoying
the pleasures so bountifully provided by the
lavish hand of the indomitable founder of the
town, CoL St. Clair-Abrams. Every section of
the eastern and southern portion of the State
were represented, and Yalaha and Leesburg,
together with the whole lake region, sent down
a large delegation.”
DODGE COUNTY.
Cutting Affray at East man—Ellcct of
•he Cold Spell on Cotton—Railroad
Prospect*—Polltcal.
Eistua.v, Ga., May 32.—John Price and
Cheek Peterson badly cut a Mr. Mercer, at Bish
op & Hester’s saw mill, iu this county, Satur
day night. The difficulty grew out of a game
of cards. Price and Peterson were brought
here and lodged In jail to-day.
The cold nights of the past week have in
jured cotton somewhat, but it is thought It will
recover from the effects of the cold if the rest
of the growing season is favorable. The cor
respondent of Bradatreet’i, in his report for
this month, forwarded to-day, says the
acreage of cotton planted in Dodge county
is five per cent, less this year than
last. Planting will not be com
pleted perhaps before the Ist of June. The
acreage of corn p'anted is probably 40 or 50
per cent greater than last year. There have
been about five hundred tons of commercial
fertilizers used, which is considerably less than
was used in the county last year. There is a
gradual but steady use of home made
fertilizers. Business is hopeful. The system
of furnishing supplies to farmers on time has
been almost abolished. This does not seem to
be due to a lack of confidence in the farmers,
but rather to the fact that retail dealers can
not buy from wholesale merchants on time.
This cash system necessarily works a hardship
now, but will in the end doubtless result hap
pilv to all parties.
The people of this town and community hall
with general rejoicing the prospect of another
railroad. Eastman played a prominent part
in the first active steps taken to secure the
coßstroction of a railroad from Savannah to
Americas, and thence westward Ly-t spring,
when there was a railroad convention at
Americus of delegates from the counties inter
ested. none were more enthusiastic in their ad
vocacy of such a road than were the delegates
from this place. The people here will cer
tainly give all the encouragement in their
power to the Savannah and Pacific Short Line
Railway, and there ’* hardly adoubtthit It
will take Eastman in its route. Indeed, there
is too much enterprise centered in this li'tle
town to permit the proposed new road to pass
us by.
The convention to nominate a candidate
from this th* Third Congressional district, to
succeed General Cook, will probably be called
by the Democratic Executive Committee of
the district to meet at Eastmau. Several
members of the committee are strongly urg
ing this as the place for the convention to he
held. There is talk of a meeting of the com
mittee prior to the nominating convention
The Chairman of the committee has addressed
a letter to each member suggesting such a
meeting. General Cook is anxious to be his
own successor, and he will undoubtedly be
a bard man to defeat But his former law
partner. Judge C. 8. Crisp, wants the place
too. Thus far these are the most prominent
prospective candidate*, and although the state
ment has been denied, there are some who still
believe there is a combination betweenCrispaod
Cook to keep other candidate* out of the field
in order to secure the nomination for one or
the other of theee two Judge Pate, of Hawk
insville, a mighty clever man by the way. also
lias a hankertng after the office. And rumor
*avs Hon. W. T. McArthur, of Montgomery
county, is fishing around for the nomination,
and feelers are being thrown out to test his
strength. Some think that is why a meeting
of the Executive Committee has been suggest
ed pri*r to the convention. J. B. Jr.

' Dublin Guile, May 9,1882 ”
Two brass titters, named Magle and Fry,
in the employment of the Southern Railway
it Inchlcore, have made an Important state
-nent to the police. They siy they r ased
the scene of the assassination on bicycles
in*t as the murder was being committed.
They saw two men attack the Chief Secre
tary and Under Secretary. There were two
other men near. Lord Frederick Cavendish
was cut on the roadway at the time, moving
awav from his assatlaat, who made a plunge
of whst appeared to be a butcher’s knife at
biro. His arm was raised, and his Lordship
fell on tbe road, almost silking tbe bicycle
of one of them. Both heard Lord F. Cav
endish before fading exclaim to his assail
ant, “Ah, you villain.” The other men at
this time were attacking Mr. Burke.- They
got away as fast as they could, as one of the
murderers advanced towards them with a
bloody knife. One of the bicyclists fainted
when he got down some distance. They
noticed the car at the side of the road adja
cent to where the murders were perpetrated.
The Jarvey had his back to the murderers.
Two gardeners In the employment, of the
brother of Lord Ardilaun state that they
were coming Into Dublin that evening. They
noticed a hackney car on the road near tUr
Ptmalx, the driver alone being on It, but
there were four men near It lounging under
the trees. When the gardeners reached the
Gough Statue tbev met the Chief Secretary
and Under Secretary going up.
The police are convinced tha* the car with
the men left the city for the Phceiix Park
about five on Saturday evening. It passed
along by the side of the park, which It en
tered by the Island Bridge Gate, and then,
crossing the 6ward between the Civil Service
and Garrison Crleket Grounds, reached the
main road. The murderers then rode up to
near the Pfccenlx Monument, and awaited
their victims. They got tff the car, which
remained on the roadway, and concealed
themselves under a clump of trees till they
saw Lord F. Cavendish and Mr. Burke ap
proach. Then they snddenly made a rush
upon them. A carman residing in Francis
street was brought to the Castle this eve
ning for identification. The lad Jacob and
aix other witnesses who had seen the vehicle
leaving the park were brought th. re to see
If they could Identify him. The driver and
car were placed among twenty others; but
tbe witnesses could not undertake to say
that he was the man or that was the car.
The police, therefore, could not detain him;
but be is kept under surveillance.

THE FIGHT CONTINUED IN THE
HOUSE.
The Democrat* Firm The Star
Koatera Railed—Congreat Ve*ter
dy-The Peruvian Company In*
qulry Resumed.
Washington, May 23 —The Bpeaker laid
before the House various executive com
munications (already published), which
were appropriately referred.
The struggle over the contested elec
tion case of Mackey vs. Dibble was
then proceeded with, Mr. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, raising a question of con
sideration in antagonism to the effort made
by Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, to call up that
case for discussion and action. The vote re
sulted—yeas 129; nays I—Phelps, of Con
necticut—l 7 less than a quorum, and a call
of the House was ordered.
Mr. Murcfc, of Maine (Greenbacker),asked
for an indefinite leave of absence on account
of sickness. This was opposed by the Re
publicans, and a motion to that effect was
lost—yeas 105, nays 122. Mr. Murch was
then excus< and for the day.
Messrs. Rice, of Massachusetts, Mason,
of New Yoik, and Smith, of New York, Re
publicans, were also excused for tbe day on
the same grounds.
The doors were then closed, and the Ser
geant at-Arms was directed to bring in the
absentees.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, was the only
member brought In under duress, and be
was excused upon giving satisfactory expla
nations.
The members sat around In groups, chat
tlog or reading papers, and patiently await
ing further proceedings. After another call
of the House, the session for this evenlnsr
was dispensed with, and the House, at 4:55
o’clock, adjourned.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
In the Benate, Mr. Pugh moved to recon
sider the final vote on the passage of the
five per cent, land bill, and as the measure
had been sent to the House, he coupled wtih
the motion a request for the return of the
MU to the Benate. Motion prevailed—yeas
26; nays 22.
Upon a motion to reconsider this vote the
Benate became badly tangled. Among the
points of order a question was asked of
Prefident pro tern. Davis, In reply to which
he began: “The court would say.” Being
apprised of his error by a hearty burst of
laughter, the chair answered the query.
Finally the motion to reconsider was
voted down.
The Senate bill referring to the Court of
Claims the claim of the BUte National Bank
of Louisiana for cotton taken by the United
8 ates after the close of the war, was
passed.
At two o’clock the Benate p r oeeeded with
the unfinished business, the House bill for
the distribution of the Geneva award, and
Mr. Call addressed the Benate. The discus
sion was continued by Messrs. Bayard,
Jones of Florida, Hale, Frye and Hoar.
The pending amendment providing for

THE PERUVIAN COMPANY ENQUIRY.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee
aeain to-day took up the investiga
tion of ihe Peruvian Company. Ex As
sistai t Secretary of Btate Hitt was the only
witness, but. all of his knowledge had been
obtained while acting as Interpreter between
Mr. Blaine and the agent of the Credit In
dustrie! Company, when the latter gentle
man wished the Intervention of tbe United
States In behalf of Peru. This gentleman,
though representing the Credit Industriel
as its agent, had only sought intervention In
the interes’s of humanity and not of his
company. Upon all other points Mr. Hitt was
profoundly ignorant. VN ltness first heard
of the missing papers after he left the de
partment. He never saw them, and certain
ly thought he would have remembered them
if he had ever seen them, and It was hardly
probable that they would come direct to
the department without bis seeing them.
Witness was asked in relation to the status
of Mr. Trescott in the State Department at
the time he was apparently employed by the
department in connection with the prepara
tion of dispatches touching Peruvian mat
ters, and replies that Mr. Trescott had
juat. returned from China, where he
bad been one of the commissioners,
and pending the settlement of the mvter
be was consulted in regard to Chili Peru
vian matters, and made a thorough Investi
gation and prepared statements of facts
upon which tbe Secretary could act. He
was specially charged with this matter in
connection with the preparation of dis
patches, and, with the exception of
ihe Stcretary, was the most competent
person to explain the meaning of every
word in those dispatches. He was very
highly esteemed in the department, and on
account of his standing and experience as a
diplomat, was selected as a commissioner to
visit the Bouth American Btates.
The Chairman announced that Blaine
would again come before them to-morrow
morning at 10 o’clock, and the committee
adjourned to that time.
THE MACKEY O'CONNER CONTEST.
The reasons of the Democrats for declin
ing to discuss in tbe House the Mackey-
O’Conner election contest, are stated to
night by leading members of the party,
among them Representatives Randall and
Carlisle, in the following words: “There
are two questions involved. First, the
forgery of testimony, and, second, the right
to the seat. Under the rules of the House,
if the Democrats consent to the considers
’ion of the case the Republicans will seat
Mackey by a party vote without Investigat
ing the forgery. The Democrats are ready
to consider appropriation bill, and other
public business, but will not consent to try
’his case until a full investigation of the
forgery is had.”
A WAR CLAIM TO BE ALLOWED.
The House Committee on War Claims
•o-day Instructed Representative Houk, of
Tennessee, to report favorably a bill for the
pavment of $1,250 to Mitchell J. Childress,
of Knox county, Tennessee, in payment for
cupplies furnished Burnside’s army in 1863.
THE STAR ROUTERS BONDED.
The star route cases came up again to
day, and all of the defendants gave the
bonds under the new indictments, which
had been required under tbe old indictments.
The cases then went over to Friday.

grave ornaments bad been thrown down
and demolished. The cemetery had not
been visited since the Monday preceding,

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1882.
A JUDGE ON HIS METTLE.
Good Chance* for a Street Fight In
St. lionl*.
Bt. Locis, May 23 —A few days ago an
editorial appeared In the Evening Chronicle
of this city criticising Judge Laughlin, of
the Criminal Court, and the manner of
doing business In that court. Yesterday
Stanley Waterloo, editor of the Chronicle,
was cited to appear before the court to show
cause why he should not be committed for
contempt. Waterloo’s counsel denied that
tbe court had jurisdiction in the
premises, where upon Judge Laughlin said
there being a difference of opinion on that
point, he would waive the rights of the
court in the matter and as an individual
would give Waterloo until after sundown to
retract the obnoxious article through the
columns of the Chronicle or furnish him the
name of the writer. The Chrotiich last
evening contained no retraction, nor did
Waterloo furnish Judge Laughlin the name
of the writer, but between nine and ten
o’clock last night a letter was delivered to
the former by the stenographer of the
court, which read as fol'ows:
“St Louis, May 22 —Stanley Waterloo :
Dear Sir —That you may have no cause to
plead surprise when we next meet, you are
now notified to make such preparations for
an emergency as you may deem best. I
shall make it my bmtness to see you soon.
“Hbnrt D. Ladghlin.”
The contents of this letter were not known
until ten o’clock this morning, when It was
determined by Waterloo and his friends to
publish it, and the probabilities are that
unless the friends of both parties can pre
vent a meeting, there will be a bloody en
counter on the street soon, as both men
have plenty of nerve.
Late last night it was discovered that the
author of the offensive criticism was ex-
Judge Horatio M. Jones, This morning,
from the bench of the Criminal Court,
Judge Laughlin said the situation was ma
terially changed. He knew the name of
the writer of the article. Sooner or later he
would settle the matter with Waterloo.
When he left the bench last, evening he
had Intended to take off his badge
of servitude and resign. Now he would not
retreat under fire. As to the man who was
the author of the article, he was ber eath
contempt. He was a chronic slanderer and
coward. Judge Ilavden, oa behalf of Water
loo, accepted fu’l responsibility for tbe
article, and rose to apologize. He consid
ered the action of the court entirely Illegal,
and would take no further notice of the
tribunal. The matter was then dropped.
It is now believed that it will remain as it
now stands, and that the height of the sen
sation is past.

ROTTEN INSURANCE.
Report of tbe New York Assembly
Committee.
New York, May 23 —The assembly spe
cial committee, appointed to examine cer
tain life insurance receiverships, made Its
report to-day. It is very lengthy, and con
demns the management of several of the
companies in severe terms. It says of the
Universalle North America and companies
associated with the latter: “It may be said
that swindler succeeded swindler, company
swallowed company, until at last one and
all the available assets fell Into the re
ceiver’s hands.”
“Globe had been a factor In grand real
estate speculations. Throughout, tbe Insu
rance Department seems to have been pow
erless or Indifferent In asserting its author
ity or protecting policyholders.”
The report says of the receiverships: “Not
one of them was so managed as to restore
the company to a solvent state, nor does
any such policy appear to have been at
tempted.”
The report says that among the scores
and hundreds of orders of court made in
various legal proceedings connected with
the administration of these trusts, the vast
majority were signed by one Judge. Extra
ordinary blanks prepared by counsel for the
receiver one and all bore the name
of this Judge, printed in antici
pation of future needs. Especially
was It true that orders directing
money to be paid were signed by him to
almost the entire exclusion of his associ
ates. This fact In and of itself would reflect
favorably upon his industry and upon his
willingness to assume the responsibility,
and would warrant no discrediting Impu
tation. But the expense and delay,
which are more questionable Incidents
of the receiverships, are Inseparably con
nected with these orders. Many of the in
dividual payments seemed wasteful and
reckless. None of them could ever have
been made, and no doubtful act or line of
policy on the part of any receiver could
have possessed any efficiency except for this
judicial sanction.
The report, after further comments on the
course of Judge Westbrook, adds: “Such
an official in such circumstances was not
justified In repeatedly signing an order that
will not stand the test of close Inspection,
although they have been consented to by
those among whom the money was divided.
To say that such consent relieves the Judge
from responsibility and attentive action Is
to assert an unworthy and Intolerable con
ception of tbe nature of judicial functions
and attitude.”

Paris, May 23.—1 tls thought that Presi

THEY WILL STICK.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, with the aid of his
big watch chain, tried last Saturday to have
taken up for consideration th" Mackey-O’Con
nor South Carolina election esse. The com
mittee’s report is, of course, to unseat Dibble—
who was elected after the death of O'Connor—
and put in Mackey. This decision was reached
upon forged testimony. The minority report
of the committee pioves this. Ignoring that
fact, the ReDublicans, to increase their ma
jority in the House, have commenced an eff >rt
to unseat Dibble. They have been met on the
first flush by united opposition from the Demo
crats. Randall, of Pennsylvania, leads this op
position. Randall is the most successful leader
of a minority In a fight like the one pending
that Congress has ever produced. He has a
fighting crowd back of him too. Beyond the
shadow of a doubt the right is with the opposi
tion to the snoliation cf oneof Sou'h Carolina’s
seatsjin the House. The Republicans cannot put
their man Mackey in if the Democrats hold out.
They predict that the Democrats will not hold
out. They say that the history of the past six
years in Congress shows that holding out
is not one of the characteristics of the De
mocracy in the House. That is what they base
their prediction on. Everybody knows that on
certain momentous occasions there has been a
very perceptible weakening in the backbone of
the Democratic Congressman. It is not so in
this case. They will stick. Th?y are unani
mous in the determination that the seat of
Dibble shall not be stolen,and his constituents,
who elected him after the decease of his prede
cessor, O’Connor, shall not be robbed of Ihe
fruits of thoir elective franchise. There is no
division this time. Every means will be re
sorted to to prevent the consummation of the
proposed political crime. And those means
will be found successful. The contest may
prolong the session, but at its end Dibble will
sit in his chair just as natural.
MR. STEPHENS’ CANDIDACY.
The fact that Mr. Stephens is a candidate for
the Governorship of Georgia, and a full fl dged
candidate at that, goes beyond saying There
Is no use dickering in such matters as these
about "what the people want,” and “if they
insist,” and so on. The day for such talk has
gone by. Politics nowadays are treated na
kedly; they permit of no such glossing as has
been put forward recently in several instances.
The bare fact is that Mr. Stephens is a candidate
for Governor, and wants to be Governor
without one di-senting vote from any part of
his human frame. There has been a great deal
of talk about Mr. Stephens’ attitude towards
the “Liberals,” the “Independents,” and what
not. Mr. Speer in his telegram told the truth
when he said that Mr Stephens would accept
the support of the “Independents ” Mr. fpeer
spoke for Mr. Stephens by authority. The
question that has been discussed most fre
quently here is that if Mr. Stephens is such a
thoroughly organized Democrat, why should he
hum around the disaffectedf The answer to
that question is very simple. Mr. Stephens
wan's.to be indorsed by everybody. He wants
to be the Democratic candidate, the “Inde
pendent candidate and the candidate of the
syndicate. In other words, Mr. Stephens wants
to come as near as possible to being a unani
mous Governor of Georgia. That’s Mr. Ste
phens’ point, and please paste it In your hat for
future reference.
SENATE OBJECTIONS.
It is certain that the bill extending the
charters of the national banks, which
passed the House a day or two ago, will
suffer considerable amendment at the
hands of the Senate Finance Committee, to
whom it will be refered before it is taken up
for debate by the Senate. There are a number
of points in the bill to which members of the
Finance Committe object. There is one in par
ticular. It is the amendment which makes
national banks liable to be sued in the State
courts. This amendment is one of the best
that the House put on the bill as it came from
the Committee on Banking and Currency. It is
known as the Hammond amendment, having
been offered by the Georgia member of that
name. The Repub ican majority of the Benats
Finance Committee favor its erasure from the
bill. They look on it as a concession in some de
gree of the old cry of States rights. They regard
it as a matter of downright holy horror
to concede that a national bank shall be sued
in a State court. I think in deference to this
old political feeling that there should be a big
N and a big B used when these pets of the Re
publican party and contributors to its cam
paign funds, the National Banks, are spoken
of.
ART* UR OVERWHELMED.
The White House mails are just at this sea
son overwhelmed with invitations for the
President to go here or there. The colleges all
over the country are inviting him to be present
at their annual exercises ;the managers of racing
meetings are asking him to visit their tracks;
soldier reunions are begging him to be their
guest; the summer resorts are putting forward
to him the attractiveness of themsi Ives; and in
fact the season’s inundation of invitations is
upon the President. He is wanted everywhere.
As they say in the advertisements, the most
flattering inducements are held out to him.
Arthur is not much of a man for indiscriminate
affairs. He prefers to select h;s own company,
which is generally of the convivial kied, and
includes ‘‘the boys,” except when he does the
formal thing. Then there are not many of
“the boys” around. Beyond accepting possi
bly one or two invitations to soldiers’ reunions,
Arthur wi'l not do much gadding about this
season. Possibly that may prevent, to a cer
tain extent, the usual fall overflow of invita
tions to agricultural fairs. Potomac.

Atlanta. May 82.—We are having, after sev
eral pleasant, cloudy days, a steady light ram
that commenced late yesterday afternoon. It
will do the gardens and farms in this vicinity
much good.
Capt. J. C. Shaw is here looking after the
Central Railroad passenger traffic. He is pre
paring to carry down a big excursion to the
State Sunday School Convention in Savannah.
Only two fresh cases of small-pox have been
reported within the past forty-eight hours.
The real estate “craze” promises to eclipse
the small pox scare, and prove quite as di-as
trous. financially, to speculators in the end
Merchants, hotel keepers and others inter
ested say trade has fallen off one half sinoe the
small pox appeared here, and yet real estate
sales are four time ss large as ever before in
the history of Atlanta.
The Young Men’s Library election passed off
without any personal conflicts, and resulted in
a big majority for the “old board.” Both par
ties rushed in new members in (quads, and this
has added over a thousand dollars to the
treasury, and greatly enlarged the usefulness
of the institution.
Our Atlanta Home Mutual Insurance Com
pany is about to be organized for business
One hundred thousand dollars have been paid
in, and a committee appointed to raise the
balance needed. It has been rather slow work,
and some delay may occur in taking risks.
The officers are among the wealthiest and best
business men of Atlanta.
For some time past there has been quite a
storm brewing in the ranks of the Gate City
Guards, a large number of the boys insisting
that Captain J. F. Burke should resign, l’ut
this famous co nmander has had “too soft a
thing” of it to give up without a struggle. The
public will have some startling developments
bye and bye.
THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER.
The ever genial face of Judge O. A. Lochrane
is to be seen on our streets this morning. He
is now, so far as Atlanta is concerned, simply
a bird of passage. His political views remain
as elastic as ever.
Gen. Wm. 8 Walker, the battle-scarred hero
of two wars, and a former resident of Florida,
is now in charge of an agency for the Monu
mental Bronze Company that is to establish a
white bronze foundry in this city.
I am indebted to the Savannah Cadets for a
handsomely printed card of Invitation to their
Ty bee picnic, and to the ‘Our Boys Club,” of
Atlanta, for similar favors, and regret not be
ing able to attend either.
The Philadelphia Weekly Timet, of the 13th,
has a column interview with Mrs. Mattie A.
Bridge, formerly of Jacksonville, Fla., and
Albany, Ga., whose adventures in the “Land
of Flowers” read like Arabian Nights stories.
Revival preachers except a few choice
spirits—are catching it from ail sides. They
are called “religious tramps” and “seedy ad
venturers” by some religious papers, and Rev.
Dr. H. H. Tucker, who opposes revivals as
generally conducted, says the so-called revi
valist “is nothing but a pious fraud.” He may
have good intentions, but his mission is one of
mischief.
General Dan McCauley, of Indianapolis, has
associated with himself Messrs. J. H. Woodard
and E. P. Miller, and petitioned for a charter
for "The Atlanta Transfer Company,” the ob
ject being to transfer baggage, passengers and
freight in and around the city of Atlanta, with
the privilege of doing business in other parts
of the State.
At last New Holland Springs are to be made
a really first class summer resort in every re
spect. Having secured a lease for several sea
sons, Hon. W. A. Huff, of the Markham House,
is now putting the place in order for an early
opening. He will make it especially attractive
for families with children. Look out for his
advertisement of rates, etc., in the Morning)
News very soon.
There is a lively movement on foot among
the peach growers of this section, many of
whom are extensively engaged in the business,
to secure quicker and cheaper transportation
for their peaches to Northern and Western
markets. Commissioner Henderson has called
a meeting of fruit growers at the Agricultural
Department, on Thursday, to consult upon the
matter. Tennille, Griffin and West Point have
the largest peach orchards in the Btate, and
are most deeply interested in cheaper rates.
PERSONAL AND NEWS OOS3IP.
New faces and unfamiliar voices were seen
and heard in nearly all our city pulpits yester
day. as they were filled by eminent divines in
attendance upon the Southern Presbyterian
General Assembly.
The finest picture yet published in the Sunny
South appears in the last issue, and presents
the Georgia Railroad Commission. Governor
Smith, Majpr Wallace and Colonel Trammell
can thank the artist for giving most flattering
pictures of their familiar faces.
The many friends in Savannah of Rev. R C.
route, the beloved rector of Bt. Phillips Epis
copal Church, will regret to learn of his severe
illness, part of which is mental, caused by
deep anxiety for the success of his new and
elegant church edifice. The conflict, now in
court, between Bishop Beckwith and Major
Crane as to mortgaging the property to se
cure money with which to complete tt. is most
unfortunate, and can result in nothing but in
jury to the parish. The Bishop is acting with
firmness in the line of duty.
The Army and Navy Herald, of Washington,
D. C., pays the following very doubtful com
pliment to the Pensacola, Florida, Navy Yard:
“There seems to be some difficulty in finding a
successor to Commodore Quackenbush, who
was recently invalided from the Pensacola
Navy Yard. This station is not as desirable as
some of the yards situated further North,
hence there are no volunteers for the com
mand. As it necessitates the detail of a Com
modore, there is at present considerable rivalry
going on among officers of that grade to keep
from being ordered there.”
It is no small thing for a man to live out his
four score years of human life, and come to his
death, as did Mr. Wm. Estill, 8r , with a clean
record. The world at large knew but little of
his existence, and yet his was a career of active,
honest beneficent industry. Even after he had
reached his four score years, and life might
have been a holiday or a burden to him because
of age or infirmities, I remember bim as a
sprightly, courteous gentleman, working with
all the zest of an ambitious youth, and appa
rently as happy with his lot as though the long
and patient years of toil had brought him a
fortune for his reward. Such men always
leave behind them the odor of a good name
and the fragrance of many kindly deeds. He
had honored his profession, he had been in
youth and In age a gallant soldier, and in all
the relationship of domestic life be bad won the
highest meed of praise. Death to such a man
means simply transition to a better world and
reunion with those dear ones gone before.
MINOR TOPICS.
General John M. Brannan, late Colonel of the
Fourth Artillery, but now retired, has pur
chased the Barle place at Marietta, and will
build a handsome residence there.
Mr. J. D. Ponder, formerly connected with
the Bainbridge Democrat and the Albany Ad
vertiser, is now on the Sunday Phonograph, in
this city, and is doing some good local report
ing.
In my last letter, in referring to accommo
dation trains coming Into Atlanta in the morn
ing for local travel, I overlooked the old and
well-known “Goober” train on the Western
and Atlantic Railroad. This gives Atlanta five
local accommodation trains.
Now, that “graveyard” life insurance com
panies are being rooted out, their places can
be readily supplied by marriage insurance com
panies. Under the name of “Nuptial Fndow
ment Association.” or “Hymeneal Pledge As
sociation,” or other peculiar title, they are
multiplying with alarming rapidity.
The thanks of your correspondent are due
Mr. H. L. Schreiner, of Bavannah. for a copy
of his fine march dedicated to Palestine Com
mandery of Kniehts Templar, and handsomely
il’ustrated on its title page with amounted
Sir Knight. Our musicians here, who have
seen the march, speak in high terms of its
merit as a composition, and predict great
popularity for it with Knights Templar.
“C. A. B.” of Monticello, Fla., has sent to the
American Field, of Chicago, the head of a
black bass, caught in Lake Jackson, near that
place, which weighed fourteen and a quarter
pounds. Tom Porter, who caught it, also took
in one weighing eighteen pounds. The editor
thinks that will do “for high."
There is nothing strange in the statement
that Gen. John B. Gordon, now a Presbyterian,
was baptized and joined the Baptist Church
while a student at the State University at
Athens. Bis father is a venerable Baptist
Ereacher, and his brother. Major E. C. Gordon,
as been a Baptist preacher in Alabama. It is
a Baptist family.
“Potomac,” in his last Washington letter,
says Senator Don Cameron Is opposing the
confirmation of CoL James Atkins as Judge
of the United States Circuit Court in Atlanta.
This is not strange, as Judge H. K. McCay, who
is so strongly backed here for the position, is a
native of Pennsylvania and has the hearty sup
port of ex-Senator Simon Cameron.
POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.
The colored Republic*ns are just now exhib
iting remarkable activity, and talk a good deal
about “thorough organization.” They hold a
County Convention here to-day to choose dele
gates to Pledger’s State Convention in Macon.
Rumor says the negro vote is already divided,
Gartrell having a mortgage upon a good slice
of it, while the Liberal movement claims to
have negotiated for the balance. Be that as it
may, the “longest pole will take the persim
mons.” no matter what the label may be that
is on it.
Outsiders were surprised at the harmonious
action of the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, as it was expected that some mistake
would be made that might endanger the safety
of the party in the approaching campaign.
But nothing of the kind occurred. Every mo
tion made look to harmonious action and a
successful canvass.
And better than this—the committee went so
far as to remove several serious objections
that were urged aeainst previous campaigns.
All the delegates are to be elected or selected
on the same day, so that one county cannot be
present and bull-doze or influence another in
her choice of delegates. Each county is to
elect or choose her delegates in her own way,
and to provide suitable alternates for absen
tees. The counties are also to settle the ques
tion of nominating by majority or two-thirds
rule. This gives all candidates a fair field and
a free fight in convention.
COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
I am glad to see that the Sanitary Association
of Savannah has appointed a special commit
tee to procure information in regard to vac
cination.
This Is a step in the right direction, as there
are evils and dangers connected with vaccina
tion that should be properly and fully guarded
I strongly favor compulsory vaccination, but
would have it executed under the direction of
physicians of character and experience, and
who shall be supplied only with virus known to
be absolutely pure and fresh.
We have had considerable trouble here on
account of cheap and ineffectual vaccination
to a large extent, and impure virus in not a
few cases. One young man came very near
dying from blood poisoning, while a fine,
healthy child near my residence had convul
sions that almost proved fatal.
In my own case, since my third vaccination,
I have suffered for two weeks with a terrible
arm and a sickness almost as bad as small
pox. I feared it was bad vaccination, but the
doctors decide that I was several times ex
posed to the disease, and my last vaccination
saved me from a probable fatal case of con
fluent small-pox.
The London Society for the Abolition of
Compulsory Vaccination is sending out circu
lars and pamphlets in the South. I have five
that contain bitter attacks upon vaccination.
One, a single page tract, is by Dr. T. S Hop
kins, of Thoraaßvllle, Ga, who, under date of
March 22, 1883, gives a fearful account of the
sad results of vaccination in that city. Still, I
believe vaccination has saved thousands in At
lanta, myself and family ot the number, from
small-pox.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
Congressman Hammond has paid a high
compliment to the memory of the late Gen. A..
J. Hansell, cf Cobb county, by appointing A.
J Hansell, Jr , a cadet at the Annapolis Naval
Academy.
The Central Presbyterian, ot Richmond, Va.,
contains an interesting report of the recent in
stallation ot Rev. J. Y. Allison, as pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Tallahassee, Florida,
which it calls a memorable day in the history
of that church. Rev. W. J. McCormick
preached the sermon, and Rev. B. L. Baker
delivered the charge.
The newly opened Georgia Pacific Railroad,
which now runs to Douglassville, sometweniy
flve mile® distant, is being largely patronized
by excursion and picnic parties. Several Sun
day schools have selected Sweetwater or
Douglassville as the place for their annual pic
nic. So far no accident has occurred and the
excursions have been succes-iful.
Messrs. Condon & Cos., who have been con
tractors on the Atlanta extention of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad, sold off a large part
of their mules, wagons, carls, harness, tents
and other things used n building railroads, at
auction on Saturday. This would seem to in
dicate that there is not a very lively demand
in railroad circles for such property. And yet
we hear of a score of new railroads in Georgia.
The printer can make it scare and not spoil the
sense.
Reports of cotton receipts and small-pox
cases are now below par, although Atlanta will
no doubt receive a few bales of cotton weekly
during the summer and continue to have a few
cases of small-pox. The disease lias secured
a pretty good foothold for a lingering de
parture. My sincere thanks are tendered to the
friends and strangers in Savannah who have
so kindly given me their support in defence of
my recent small pox letter, yet I am more in
debted to a score of leading citizens of Atlanta,
including doctors, druggtsts,offleia]B and others,
who have promptly come forward and fur
nished me abundant proofs with which to sus
tain every statement made in my much abused
letter.
The Southern Presbyterian General Assembly
is progressing with its labors and enjoying the
hospitality of Atlanta in good style. Some of
the "big preachers” are absent, yet enough
eminent divines are here to give power and
character to the discussions and deliberations.
South Georgia and Florida are represented by
Rev. Messrs. Kerr, Gordon and Dodge and
Layman Mclntosh, who are looking well to
their duties- Chatham.
THE WEST INDIA TUAHE.
Importance of the Movement Now
lietuK Made In New Orleans to
Secure the Trade ot the Antlllea.
Memphis Appeal.
No American possessed ot a just pride In
his country and a hearty desire for Its
welfare can look over the map of this
continent with the reflection that the Im
portant nationalities south of It. are sup
plied with products we desire to export by
European instead of by cur own nation.
With a tariff favorable to our trade, and
with power to buy our own shipping where
we can buy it cheapest, with our splendid
resources we could do an immense business
that is now, by our national Impolicy,
thrown into the hands of rivals. Under
these circumstances It gives us pleasure to
notice that New Orleans is awakening to a
sense of the rich harvest which lies within
her grasp. Just now commerce with the
Important Island of Jamaica Is exciting at
tention in the Crescent City. That island
has an Import and export trade that amounts
to $15,000,000 a year. It trades with Hali
fax and some of the Eastern cities, but New
Orleans is nearer and more accessible than
the other points, and ought evidently, from
its geographical position, and from the vast
resources open to It along the Mississippi
river and its tribu'arles, to be able to out
rival anything they can do.
Two or three influential New Orleans
houses are attempting, at the present time,
to renew commercial relation with Jamaica,
and their advances have met a very satis
factory reception. The New Orleams Titties-
Democrat has been at pains to ascertain
what sort of a trade the city can do advan
tageously with Jamaica, and learns the
following, among other facts: That the
Jamaica market will take flour—Southern
brands preferred—hog products, which New
Orleans can receive direct by river; common
cotton goods, which Southern mills can
supply In abundance; lumber, especially
Southern, which Jamaica prefers; canned
goods, which are in great demand,
and which are plentiful throughout the
Western country; common dry goods and
common hardware are also in demand. Once
get an active commerce In operation with
Jamaica, and it would increase indefinitely.
As Jamaica learned the vast resources of
the Mississippi valley it would draw upon
them more extensively, and it could find no
country able to supply her with feed pro
duces at as favorable a scale of prices. Nor
would the trade be confined to that island
alone—Hayti,Cuba, Trinidad, Barbadoesand
other places would prove profitable
and permanent customers. Beside its
other advantages the semi-tropical
climate of New Orleans adapts it
espjclally to the Gulf trade with the tropics.
Let but an active West India and South
American and Mexican trade spring up with
New Orleans, and what an immense mart
of commerce wou'd the Mississippi country
become ! The river would be crowded with
vessels carrying Bouthern fruits and other
products of the country, and bringing down
meats and breads’uffs and animals for ship
ment to the tropical markets. Every city
on the banks of the river would become the
centre of an important trade, and the many
advantages possessed by Memphis could
not fall to attract commerce and make our
city prosperous.
