Americus hss developed am ng its Tonng

brow thus diatribes: “The cocking c'ub com
posed of some of the young la ies of this city

member will at her home prepare the whole

i* a good movement, a-d is creditable to the

cooking ciub. We could better ju ge of the

I ne following, which we clip from the Rome

J M Harri.-on, of this city, gave hi- little

as a birlh ay present. Boon after the little

Diligent sesrc i was made, but the ring was

Ttursdsy Mr Jones cuught a turtle, and after
his • ife had dressed it pr paratory to cooking

and in no wise damaged by the turtle's safe
keeping.”
Jackson Herald: “This week the farmers
of oid Jacksi n have commenced the harvest

fact that our farmer? u-u vly receive a fine re
turn for what th'y plant, and l-.rge yields are
Uie rule instead of the exception, yet we re
gard the present grain prospect with more

great many expectations and hopes, and the
fitllnes* of the promised yield has given sub

Bapello, belonging to Mr. F. 8. Perrin, of South

Orange County Reporter .- ‘A new and im

the s'rong ones; “A State Convention is a ne

i iently mansged than at present. That they
are managed as well as they -ire, all things be
ing considered, may be a subject of coDgra'u
la'ion, but it ispossi’de to make them better
than'hey are, and this can only he accom
plished by compelling every man, black end
white alike, to contribute to thir support. In
popular intelligence lies the safety of the re
public; and he who shares the benefits of the
government should ba made to contribute to
it* sunnort, whereby this iutel igeuee can be
secured.”
in relation to the important work of the
Ao-'pka Canal Company, now engaged in
- utiing the canal connecting Lake* F.ugtis and
Dora, Hon. James G. Speer, of Oakland, in the
Tavares Herald says: "In answer to our in
quiries as to thp progress of the work on the
ctnal now being cut between Lak-s Apopka
and Beauclaire, the Judge informed us that
both boa s were ar work, ant that the prospect
for an early completion of the work was very
ti ittering. The second dredge boat, which was
put to work about two months ago, is an im
provement on the one which the company
have had employed for the past year, and
Is capable of doing a larger amount of work. Iu
rply to the question as to how soon th* com
pany expected to g-t the can*l finished. Judge
Fpeersaid: ‘The final completion of the work
ill take over a vear, but if we meet with no
unforeseen hindrance or accident, th > two
dredge boats now at work will meet before the
close of the present year. V/e will then have a
canal from sixteen to twenty feet wide and
s-ven feet deep. As soon a* the b*ats meet we
shall put them to work to widen the canal to
its final width of thirt feet, so as to a mit the
passage through it of larg--r steamers than any
now running on these akes. We are going to
bring cur crop of orange*, snga". cotton and
other products to Tv .res this fall, to be for

THE FINLEY BISUEE CASE.
What a Northern ITlan Known
About I*.
The following letter, taken from the
Lowell (Mass.) Morning Tmcs, will be read
with peculiar interesc. It 6hows what a
Northern mart knows about the Finley Bisbee
Congressional election In Florida, and serves
to hold up to popular odium more prom!-
nen ly than ever the flagrant outrage which
the United Btates H use of Representatives
have just commit ed against the people of
the Second Fiorlda district;
“ EJUor Times: I know eometbine of the
caa now before the H u j e at Washington,
known as the Bisbee Finley case. I was iu
the district during the canvass and voted at
the election, and I do not believe that a
fairer election was ever held anywhere. Gen.
Finley was chosen by more than a thousand
majoti’y of honest votes. He la one of the
most amiable and excellent of men, and
would abhor to do a wrong or to profit by
the wrong of others. Bisbee, the Ra
public*** contestant, is an unscrupu
lous, 10‘U'g ctm>bggger frrm Maine,
lie m-k H a s'atnfara bu iness to
run for Congress, hoping to get in by
tne grace of a partisan m?J iri'y. He is a
thoroughly bad man. and is very trouble
some in Florida, du account of bis irfluenre
over the worst type of the nego population.
At Jacksonv lie, where ha lives, he has
tiugbt the blacks that no one of them has a
right to V. fce the Democratic ticket, and
scarcely an election occuftfi there unaccom
panied by numerous outrages, such as igno
rant and passionate people are likely to
commit—sometimes resulting in downright
murder. He Inspires his rude fo’lowers with
a tiendlsh malignity, which only people of a
very low grade are capable of feeling. They
want to snoot eyerybndy who don’t go for
Bisbee, and B is hot fong since a young
man named Fa’terson, one of the most
promising lawyers in the State, was shot
dead in the court house by one of the infu
riated fanatics for no offense except offer
ing testimony showing that Finley had been
elected. In two or three strong negro
counties no colored man is safe who votes
against Bisbee; and, so far as coercion and
bulldt ziDg g>, the Republicans get many
more votes than they lose (hereby.
Knowing the facts and pretenses in this
case personally and thoroughly, I feel that
the meditated outrage Is so palpable and
Inexcusable that just a few Republicans
must pause before tney become a party to
it. ?• c<

that, his letter des'gna'lng Mr. Ingalls to

dav was in exact conformity wl'h a letter
from a former pre*!dicg officer (Mr Thur
m and), in pur uanee of which a member
(vir. Ei’on) temporarily di charged the
tuties of the chatr without objection.
Since hi® precedent, ha® been regar led as
of doubtful authority the Chair, desiring to
guide his action by the judgment of the
8 mate, would feel obliged by a decision
that would relieve this important question
of its laborious embarrassment.
Mr. Anthony thought that, if the discus
sion of the question would have the effect of
emphasizing 'he necessity for better regula
tion of the Presidential succession, it was
fortuua’e that it bad occurred.
After brief remarks by Messrs. Garland,
Logan and Sherman the Committee on
Rules, on motion of Mr. Anthony, was in
structed to inquire into and report upon
the question.
Mr. Lapham reported favorably from the

Mr. Bayard asked that the two features be
voted upon separately, and it was so or
dered.

prevailed without dis*ent. Upon the com

Resumption of ihe Examination.
Washington, June s—Mr. Shuffeld, of
Chicago, President of the National Distillers’
and Liquor Dealers’ Association, was ex
amined by the Windom committee this
morning and testified at some length relative
to the object of the association money
raised by them and the manner of its ex
penditure. His testimony gave the com
mittee some light upon the situation of the
liquor interest, but none at all upon tbe
alleged ccrrupllocs of men ecg*ged in
the manufacture of whisky. The ex
amination of Mr. Shuffe’d concluded the
examination so far as the present list of
witnesses are concerned.
Colonel Wharton, for the Kentucky dis
tiller', stated tha r as they had been sum
moned at considerable loss and inconveni
ence, and under serious chargee, they
deemed it but just to them to demand that
the person who made these charges should
be summoned before the committee while
they (the distillers) are here. He referred
to Mr. Buell, of the Washington Critic. The
committee took this suggestion under ad
visement. Later it was announced that the
next meeting would be heid next Thursday,
and that the following additloi’-J witnesses
would be summoned: Wm. N. Hobart, of
Cincinnati, Treasurer of the Wester;, Export
Association; Wm. 11. Jacobs, of Louisville,
S'creoirv and Treasu-e- ot the Kentucky
Distillers’ Association, and Hawthorne Hill,
a reporter of the Louisville Commercial, the
author of the alleged interview with Mr.
Atherton, which was published in that
paper on April 23L
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
A Georgia Merchant Clear* Il'niaelf
of a Seriou* Charge.
New York, June s.—James E. Tate, of
Thomson, Ga., mentioned in a dispatch
made up from an article in the New York
Times of the 29 h ult., in which he wss
charged with having imposed upon Thomas
Leeming & Cos., of this city, has proved
himse'f to the satisfaction of that firm
not to have been the party
who swindled them and o'hers of our
merchants. On the contrary Ta*e is a
merchant of means, and is a member of one
of the oldest and most respectable families
in the South. The mistake ta represented
to have occurred whol’y through a letter
written by Messrs. J G. Bailey & Son, of Au
gusta, to Messrs. Leeming & Cos., statiDg
that the descrip'ion of a well dressed
swindler corresponded with that of Tate,
who had lately started North. Tate states
that be will bring suit against James G.
Bailey A Son, of Augusta, Ga., for $lO 000
damages, having retained Judge William
Behley, of this city, and Judge Hook, of
Augusta, as his attorneys.

a reargument would bring them to no other
coimurion than that which they have
already arrived at, and they decline to re
open the case for argument.”

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
THE WAYS OF CONSPIRATORS
SHOWN UP.
Some Specimen* of Frandnlent
Lines—The Rogues Graded a* to
Responsibility.
Washington, D. C., June s—Attor
ney Bliss resumed and completed the
opening argument for the government
in the star route cases to day. Attorney
General Brewster appeared in court to-day
for the first time, but took no part in the
proceedings, as Mr. Bliss occupied the en
tire day. To-morrow the defense will
open. In the course of h's speech
to day Mr. Biiss classified the de
fendants as follows: Ex A*s'stant
Postmaster General Brady was a high public
officer, and was regarded as tbe most guilty
of tbe defendant. Stephen W. Dorsey was
a Senator, and at one time (Jhairrn&n cf ’he
Senate Committee on Post Offices and Post
Road®. His brother, John W. Dorsey, was
an agent of *ome mercan’ile concern in a
small New E gland town. Peck was a
brother-in law of J. \V. Doraev, and
was in poor ..health, -suffering
from ronnunp-fou. Minor was
a friend of Dorsey living In Sandnsky, O
R-rdell esma originally from Arkansas,
fi.'U’ed in certain finf-stigarions Id no en
viable light, wai afterwards a post i ftice
clerk, an 1 finally cierk and genera! hench
man to Stephen W. Dors -y, whom Mr. Bli*s
characterized as the leading spirit and guide
of the conspiracy. Vaile was the only
regular contractor in the combination,
the only one of them who ever
carried the mail. Boone was brought
In because he had brai r sand through his
knowledge of the busim s® of the Post Office
Department was fertile In expedients for
the evasion of penalties for non-perform
ance of contract. Dorsev might have
bought his men, might have set
up bis dummies, but Bradv could have
overturned everything, and his assistance
was indispensible.
Speaking of Peck, Mr. Blis® said he sup
posed him to be dead, but, from the fact
that monpy due to him had heen regularly
drawn since his alleged death, and because
powers of attorney, which are rendered void
by death, are 6till being used in Peck’s
name, there was a reasonable doubt.
Mr. Bliss described the large number of
specifications upon which these sui's are
based. Among the cases taken from ran
dom from his ci a'ions are the following:
On one route terminating at Lake City,
Cal., the mail carried in one year amounted
to two circulars, two newspapers, two offi
cial letters and ore ordinary letter,
and for 'his service the government
pail $23,431 a year. Animos City, Cab, was
dlrec'ly on a route. The stage passed by
the very door of tbe post office, yet com
pensation for ten mile® increased distance
was allo*ed for stopp'ng at, Animo3 City.
In bis confession R rdell has told
them of a rou'e upon wiilch no service had
been performed, but had failed to describe
it so that it might be located. An In*pector
had at last found it, however. It wa® from
Los Pinos to Ouray, Col., and was already
included in aoo her route. Af'er earnest pro
tes's against i's maintenance this route was
finally abolished, but in cutting it off
Brady had allowed the contractor pay
for one extra month, although he had
already been pail for nine mon’b® when no
service had been performed. Here i® a
Postmaster, said Mr Bliss, who writes to
the department, saying there had bsen no
through mails for over a year, asking that
the service be reduced to once a week be
cause he had got tired of sitting up at night
to open empty mail bags. One of the peti
tions for increased service was in the
handwriting of John R. Minor, one of tbe
defendants. Th“ first, name wa® that of
Kdward Hill, Postmaster at Canon City.
This gentleman had seen that signature for
the first time since this trial begaD, and tbe
other names w-re forgeries or names of
persons who did cot live wi hin a thousand
mties of the routes. Upon such petitions
increases were allowed. No wonder,
said Mr. Bliss, that, after such display of
munificence, B ady insists that any ordinary
tribunal of justice cannot try him; that he
must be impeached by tbe House and Sen
ate. Petitions had actually been filed in the
department, with a full list of names, and
the blank® unfilled. Oee undated letter,
signed hy Sidney Diilon, President of tbe
Union Pacific Railroad, had cost the gov
ernment $30,000 a year until an honest ad
ministration came in.

LONDON FLASHES.
The Government Arraigned for Re
leasing ihe Suspect*—Debate on (he
Force Bill-Tlie Flr*l Two Clauses
Adopted.
London, June s —ln the House of Lords
this afternoon the Marquis of Waterford
moved for the correspondence in connec
tion with tbe recent release of euspeets. He
condemned the action of the government in
coming to terms with Parnell and other
Land Leaguers.
Earl Cowper depreca’ed the release of the
eu*pect members of Parliament and re
gretted that the subj et of arrears of rent
wa® mixed up with the general question.
The Marquis of Salisbury said the govern
ment had given their conciliatory mea*ures
in a way that led to the belief that the
measure® were ex'orted by crime.
Iu the House of Commons this afternoon,
Mr. G! adstor.e replying to Mr. Heaiy, said
there have been no resignations ot' Irish
Juilges on account of the repression bill.
There are two vacancies, but they are sim
piv owing to promotions.
The first clause of the repression bid was
passed in committee by a vote of 227 to
39. During the discussion of the first clause
several Irish members expressed their wish
that the 8p cial Commission Courts be pre
cluded from frying prisoners for treason in
consequence of words spoken or written in
a foreign coun'ry.
Sir William Hu court, HSme Secretary in
sisted that British subj cts, who In America
or elsewhere counselled invasion of England
or committed treasonable acts, ought, o;i
coming within tbe jurisdiction of England,
to be made amenable for such counsel or
acts
The House by a vote of 128 to 25 indorsed
the Home Secretary’s views.
Mr. Heaiy moved that no person be tried
for treason committed ou'slde of Ireland.
The motion wa* rej-cted—l3l to 22
Mr. Cowen contended that the suspension
of trial by jury would demoralize both the
people ar-.d the Juuges.
Mr. Parnell denied that the Irish people
sympath zsd with crime. The Phoenix Park
murders, he said, had produced a desire io
assist in the enforcement of law. But that
feeling disappeared when the repression
hill was Introduced. He declared that the
bill wiu’d tend to increase outrages.
The House then divided on the first clause
of the bill wbh the result already repor'ed.
The second clause of the repression bill,
which provides fur appeals from the Special
Commission Courts to the Court of Criminal
Appeal, wa® adopted unanimously, and
progress was reported.

Members of the British House of Com

Museum authorities to keep open the
museum at night and have failed. In a me
morial signed by mote than two hundred of
them they prayed that the trustees would

meaiis of lighting the great national collec
tion so as to enable it to remain open till
ten o’clock at night every week day
throughout the year ” In reply the trustees
say that at present, they cannot face the risk
and expense which the scheme .would in
volve. The elec rlc lieht has been tr ed for
dark weather and for students at night with
very satisfactory results, but the experi
ment bp.s not been carried far enough to
satisfy the trustees that this light could be
depended on absolutely for lighting the gal
leries. Qas is out of the question—first, be
cause there is uo provi-ion for its use, and
second, because it has been condemned as
injurious to many objects in the museum.
