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. THE DUBLIN ASSASSINATIONS. Numerous Arrest*—The Government Reward.

Tbe following proclamation has been Issued: •’By the Lord Ltentenant General and General Goveruor of Ireland, “?PKBCKR. Whbrbas, Lord Frederick Charles C%v er.dlsh, the Chief Secretary, and Thomas Henry Burke, Esq , the Under Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, were bru ta'ly murdered In the Pfccenlx Park, In the county of Dublin, on the evening of Satur day, the 6th May, IS’JS. And whereas four persons are believed to have been corcerned in the actual perpetration of these murders Now we, John Poyntz. Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland, for the better apprehending such persons, and bringing them to justice, arc p’eased hereby to offer a reward of £IO.OOO o at y person or persons who within three months from the date hereof shall give such nfermatlon as shall lead to the conviction of the murderers. And a further reward of £I,OOO for such private information within the same time as shall lead to the same result And we are also pleased hereby to offer anv person concerned In or privy to the murders (not being one of the actual ;*erpetra , ors thereof), who shall within the sins t'm* give such Information as shall end to the conviction of the murderers, a tree pardoD, and the special protection of the Crown In any part of Her Majesty’s dominions. ' 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. ‘■Bncltiipalba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying Kid ney, Bladder and Urinary Diseases. sl. Druggists.

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 claims of Insurance companies was re jected—yeas 6, nays 40.

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.

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. SOUTHERN METHODISTS. TUe New Board of Church Exten sion .

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.” m. Say’s Resignation. Paris, May 23.—1 tls thought that Presi dent Grevy will refuse to accept the resig nation of M. Lecn Bay, Minister of Finance. The Chamber of Deputies will have an op portunity of reconsidering its action In fa vor of discussing the proposal for substl ting a duty on alcohols for that In wines and beer, which was opposed by M. Say. The Chamber of Deputies to-day, by a vote of 302 to 36, adopted an order of the day excressing confidence In M. Leon Bay, who will accordingly remain In office. A Portuguese Captain In Tronble.

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. BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY.

Rain—much Needed-This, That and the Other—Personal and News Gossip— minor Topics—Politi cal Paragraphs—Compulsory Vac cination—lis Benefits and Its Dan gers—Final Paragraphs—Small-Pox —Presby terlan General Assembly. 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. dewin'.
