LETTER FKO.M BAINUKIDDE.
Cllmiie, Soil, Productions, lleal'b—
Driest Town In ilie Slate—Farmers
and their Work.
Baisbridgk, Ga„ June 6.—Editor Morning
Xeics: The climate of this beautiful “City
of Oaks” is the same as that so luxurious
and delightful throughout the southern borders
of Georgia—a climate encircling the globo ex
actly at that degree of temperature the mo3t
fruitful and voluptuous wherever it finds soil
anl habitation. With such a soil as nature has
combined with it here, what may it not do in
the growing civilization of the country? With
Egypt's soft and balmy atmosphere, its fruit
ful soil, and river, without dependence upon
that river’s oveittiw, the population has every
facility and convenience for rapid progress
t> ihe highest cultivation, refinement,
luxury and earthly happiness of which
tbe race is capable. I know it has been said
that the grand co quering principles of civili
zation pro- eed not from warm, enervating cli
mates, but 1 k ow also that such a declaration
im-*t proceed only fro utter ignorance of
both history and geography Out of the nur
seri's of warm climates civilization wended her
way to the colder reei >ns of the earth to warm
into reason and justice the frigid Intellects of
tne northern barbarians. The inclinati ms of
moving populatio s in all ages have been to
ward the warm and equable climates. The in
vading hordes ihat poured in upon tbe sunny
plains of Italy, Spain. France. E igland. Greece.
urkey and Palestine all came from the north,
and. wbheail the people of the world cannot
move in o equable climates, there exists a gen
eral desire and tendency in that direction
In this country it becomes more and more
manifest every oav that tens of thousands of
our Northern people are providing or sighing
for Southern omm. The- feel that their fore
fathers wandered in pursuit of fortune, away
from the great central fireside of comfort and
happiness of the race, and • housands long to
re'urn, to be rid of the rigid cola and the dis
eases to which it has subjected them.
ihe e n ed be no fears, therefore, that the
magnificent c untries of this splendid climate
will not be fullv inhabited. Min wi I cease his
wanderings when the ignis f,stuns of un
earned fortune ceases to haunt his dreams and
then we shall again find population massed in
the countries of equable climates. In our own
haste to be rich we have not the patience to,
wait the natural progress of events, but reach
out our hands through t nterprise and the
press -enter the lanes and by-wavs and com
p-I them to come in. that our lands may be
occupied and our sons and daught-rs excluded.
The wisdom of this it is not my purpose to dis
cuss. but I wi'l say that this exceedingly fair
country has not many more decades to pass,
before it will witness an influx of popula'ion
wt use habirs of thought industry ana 'cono
my will soon make them propietors of the
Son and its institutions
No land is more inviting to the immigrant
from home or abroad Portions of ir. are as
fertile as any in the country, while, with very
few exceptional localities, it can be fertiliz'd
and improved to the highest degree The
variety of p-oducti -ns offers great diversity
of crops—the people are cor- ial and kid and
have already laid the ’oundation of p-o-p-rity
and greatness. The he Ith if this
county will compare favorably with
the most hellhy districts of the
Btat, and the mor uary record of the town of
Bainbridge shows less mortality than many of
her -ister towns, in proportion to population,
while the briefest inquiry revealed a long-vity
among her living citizens scarcely suspected
t j those accustomed to regard its situation on
the river as unfavorable to hea th. Amo> g the
oldest citiz-ms. who must pirdon the liberty I
take, may be mentioned one of the best physi
cians in the country. Dr W N. Bruce, hale,
hearty and m full p actice (when there is any
thing to do) at the a/e of 74; 00l F. G. Arnett

ri l, who was recently admitted to tbe bar, over
sixty years of age. The yellow fever scare a
few years ago did Bain' ridxe more barm, per
haps. than any other event, though tbe cases
were very few, and the disease was proved to
have been imported in goods, aud may never
occu r again. For pulmonary diseases i i should
be tne best sani'arium. because it is the dryest
t -wn in the State Situated on a b uff. seventy
five feet above the water iu the river, shaded
with the lovel est of groves, and having a
sandy surface, with subsoil of c>ay so porous
th-1 wells have to te dug to the level of the
river. Bainbridge is so thoroughly and quickly
drained that tbe streets and lanes can oe
traversed with comrort in an hour after
a severe rainfall. This thirsty soil
and the breezy sunshine, quickly dispose of
all the surplus moisture '-f r ins and ews, and
leaves the town in the eDjoymeut of a dry,
balmy atmosphere.
AMONG THE FARMERS.
Among the best farmers of Decatur county,
I must mention Mr Green B. Moors, who never
bought meat or bread during many tears
residence in the c >unty, but through all vicis
situdes of the seasons, rais-d a > p e supplies
and t spare. He has a good reputation for
making wine of the sugar cane, plums, black
berries and other fruits except grapes, which
he has never attempted.
Mr. Lampfiela, un mi esgoutb of Bainbridge,
two years ago, made 22 bales of cotton, 150
bushels of corn and other farm supplies, with
one mule.
Mr. Charles Martin, la-t year, on thirteen
acres of 1-nd made 18 bales of cotton, with the
caterpillars to fight.
Mr. C. P Donaldson with two mules made
26 bales of cotton, MO bushels of corn anl other
farm supplies- one of the mules making 18
bales of the 2ti.
Mr. George A. Wi ht. President of the De
catur County Fair Association, made on four
acres 271 bushels of cora.
Coionel Mas-ill made on twenty-five acres
2, r 00 bu-hels of corn.
Col F G. Arnett on three acres made 155
bu hels of com.
Mr. N N. Lester with two mules made 40
bales of cotton, 300 bushels of corn and 12 bar
rets cf syrup.
CoL E b. Bower made over 59 bush*ls of
oats on one acre, and rained a goou crop of
peas on the same ground.
M thew Alday started after the war without
m ane. and by farming on pine land is now
worth $3, t) , and has just oougnt a fine river
plantation worth -2.5110.
Mr. E. A J Rich also started about the same
timeandinihe same manner, and ha i made
about the same amount. He, however, also
rais'd sheep and cows, bu neither of these
young men took much interest in cotton.
Many others might be named if time and space
permitted. B.

Washington, June 7.—ln the House, Mr.
Sparks, of Illinois, rising to a question ol
privilege, said that during the debate on
the deficiency bill yesterday some rather
anery colloquy had occurred between Mr.
Cox and himself, not, however, to the extent
reported in the Wa6hicgton papers. The
remarks had been made aside, and had not
gone into the Record, but for his part tn the
colloquy he respectfully begged pardon of
the gentleman from New York, toward
whom he had always maintained the kind
liest feeling.
Mr. Cox replied that he was glad that the
gentleman from Illinois had taken ci-caslon
to express his regret for the remarks made
by him. He thought the gentleman had
made tbe amende honorable, and be accepted
hts apology with tne same kindiy feeliug in
which it bad been tendered.
The House went Into committee of the
whole and resumed consideration of the
general deficiency appropriation bill. The
clause directing a credit to ex Treasurer
Spinner of $17,000, the amount debited to
him on the irea ury books, was luled out
on a point of order.
Messrs. B ount and Hewitt objected to
two items, aggregating |36 300, for the
bureaus of the Navy D-partment, and an
other heated political controversy arose be
tween these gentlemen and Mr R ibeson
aud othtrs, the point of ariack being Robe
son’s mauagem-nt of the Navy Department.
The House, at 5:05, adjourned, and a Re
publican caucus was announced to take
place at 8 o’clock this evening.

Mr. Jones, from the Committee on Rail
roads, reported back, with a written report,

forfeiture of land grants to the New Or
leans, Baton Rouge and Vick'burg ’Riil
way. In reply to an it qitry by
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, Mr. Jones sta
ted that the committee saw no reason for
the forfeiture of the grant, as the pr-posed
road had been built by another company,
the assignee of the original grantee, whtca
had power to make such assortment. Upon
h‘s motion the committee was discharged
from con-rideration of the fuhject.
The House bill, appropriating SIOO 000

Boycotting Defended.
London, June 7.—Davitt in his speech at
Liverpool last night said he was in favor of
land becoming national property. He con
s dered.that the soil of Ireland could be
purchased for the tenants for .£l4O 000,000
in government bonds, repayable in fifty
years. He denounced tne Dublin Castle
>ule as a monstrous failure.
The House of Commons this afternoon
resumed the discussion of the reures'ion
bill In debate, on an amendment offered by
Charles Russell, (Liberal member for Dun
dalk), defining intimidation as threats, or
acts of violer ce to person or property, or
Incitement thereto.
Mr. Dillon defended the system of boy
cotting, which he had ssserted in public
speeches as being within the law. He de
clared that but for that system “moonlight”
outrages would have begun years earlier
than they did. They would no; have begun
a r all if the Land L“ague had been left at
liberty. He adml't. and that the system of
boycotting had been grossly abused for the
grat fieatiou of private malice.
Sir William Harcourt, Home Secretary,
said the government, was willing to accept
any amendment which was consistent with
the putting down of boycotting.
Mr. Cowan, Radical member for New
castle-on-'lyne, said he desired the same
treatment for Irish tenants as for English
trades unionists.
Mr. Gladstone maintained that they se
cured such treatment.

St. Paul, June 7.—A dispatch from Capt.
C. E. Bennett, of the Seventh Infantry, in
command at Fort Slsseton, Dakota, states
that thirty five lodges of Indians are en
camped within three miles of the fort.
They are reported to be out of food and the
children are crying from hunger. The
men express themselves willing to
work, and some of them are already
employed In hauling goverLment stores
rum Websrer, Dakota. Mr. Crissv, the
agent, sent word by one of the Indian police
for these parties to return to the agency,
but they seemed disinclined to do so. They
say i here is no food for them at the agency
Captain Bennett has engaged to ex-rt ad
his influence to secure food and employ
ment for these creatures, and is awaiting in
structions from General lerry.

laud.
Pittsburg, June 7. —The only thing new
in the iron situation to day wa6 a secret
meeting of nail manufacturers of the West.
The meeting lasted several hours. The
manufacturers, one and all, preserved pro
found silence as to the proceedings.
The conference of iron manufacturers has
adjourned. J. D. Wetks, Secretary of the*
association, says anew organization
of all the iron manufacturers of
the West was formed, the object
being to govern the question of wages as
well as the regulation of card rates, etc. It
is said that there was dlsseusion in the meet
ing between the manufacturers of special
ties and the maaufacturers of merchant
bar. At present the nail trade is brisk and
some of the manufacturers wanted to stun
the scale, but those who manufactured bir
exclusively strongly opposed the granting
of any increase, as the inaiket would noi
justify it
Cleveland, June 7 The au’horities
were forewarned late last night to look for
trouble this morning at Newburg, and had
a military force on hand, but the strikers
kept quiet and few were to be seen around
the works. Tot-re has not been even tbe
slightest disturbance, and more of the men

PISTOLS FOR TWO.
NEW ORLEANS EXITORS ON THE
FIELD
IHaJ r Burke, of tbe “F!mes-Demc
craf,” Wounded bv Mr. Park r, of
ltoe “PiC*rune’*-Five Shota Ex
changed—Tbe Cause and Detail* of
tbe Meeting.
New Orleans, June 7. —A duel was
fought this morning at the Slaughter House,
between Major E A Burke, of the Times-
Democrat, and C. II Parker, edUor of the
Rtcayune. Pistols were used, and five shots
ixcnanged. At the fifth shot Burke wa6
shot through both thighs, though no bone
wa6 broken, however, and the wound is not
considered dangerous.
Maj >r Burke, feeling aggrieved at an
editorial iu the Picayune of June 2J on
"The G nerai Fund,” on Friday sent a per
emptory challenge to Mr Paiker, edl'or of
the Picayune, to fl/ht him a duel. Parker
accepteu, and his representatives, George
L. Hall and James A. Rinsbaw, named
Mississippi rifles as weapons. Burke had
the cho'ce of distance, and Jas. D. Houston
and Mijor John A Augustine, his seconds,
fixed it at two and a half psrefts. TnotAih
no reasons were given by Burke’s
friends for naming so short a distance, it is
generally understood that they aid so be
cause of the reputed expertness of Parker
with the weapon selected. The weapon not
beirg satisfactory, after a conference, regu
lar dueling pistols were finally agreed upon
as the weapons, and the distance twenty
paces, the ground selected being in St.
Bernard parish, near the Slaughter House
Mj Burke and his friends arrived first,
and were soon joined by Paiker and his
friends. Burke’s seconds won the toss for
position, and Hall was selected to give the
word. Every blng being In readiness,
the principals took the positions
assigned to them, and at the
word their weapons were discharged
almost simultaneously, neither of the gen
tlemen being hurt. An effort was made by
their seconds to adjust the and fflcultv. but
Burke’s friends held that their principal had
been wronged, and asked if the wrong
would be righted Parker’s friends ad
mitted that Burke was a man of
courage, and they thought that was suffi
cient. Burke’s friends claimed that tne
Pcayune had criticised him too freely, and
that Is criticisms were outside the rules of
journalism. Parker’s friends stated that he
bad a right to criticise any public official,
and still reserved that right.
As no compromise could be effected the
principals took tbeir positions for a s coed
shot, which, like the first, was with* u re
sult. Unsuccessful iff >rts similar to those
after the first followed the second round.
After the third round a long parley ensued
Burke’s friends demanded that Parker
should acknowledge the bravery aDd the
personal and offic al integrity of
Burke, which his friends claimed Parker
had impugned in a series of articles in the
Picayune As Parker’s friends declined to
m-ke a sarisfactory disclaimer, no further
tffirt of c mpromise was made, and the
fourth and fifth rounds followed.
At the fifth fire Maj. Butjte was shot
through both legs about eight inches above
the knee, and would have fallen, but he was
caught by his seconds. When Parker’s sec
onds discovered that Burke had been
wounded, they asked permission for their
party to retire from the ground. This re
quest was granted bv the seconds of the
other side. The parties then separated,
Burke being conveyed to his residence on
Camp street, and Parker repairing to the
Pcayune office.
Those wno witnessed the duel agreed in
stating that the principals acted with re
markable courage aud coolness, and that
the affair was conducted according to the
rules prescribed bv the code. Dr. Bcott and
Loet s, physicians in attendance, at
once dressed Major Burke’s wounds, and do
not consider them dangerous. This evening
he is rearing quietly, and his physicians
have no reason to apprehend serious trouble.
The duel was the subject of general conver
satlon tbre ughout the clvy to-day, but the
evening Picayune makes no ineuilon of the
affair.

Jacksonville, June 6.—ln November, 1880
Gen. J. J. Finley was elected to Congress from
the Second district of Florida bv a majority of
nearly twelve hundred. Before any just and
honest body of men, his right to a seat would
never have been doubted or ca'led into ques
tion. I venture to say here that no Republican
in this State, free from p artisan bias, will deny
the above assertion That the campaign of
1880 was fair y conducted, and the purity of
the ballot box carefully guarded, will also be
generally admitted.
Yet in the face of the above facts, he has
been defrauded of his rights to give place tp a
pretender, and one-half < f this State is now
represented by a man whose only claim to the
position is based on the ground that he
was the opposing candidate, and whose only
hope of success rested upon the verdict of a
packed jury. All know that if the Democrats
had a majority of the House, that Colonel Bis
bee would never have instituted a contest, or if
he had made the attempt, that his claim w. uld
Lave been thrown ou> with the.con empt it de
served, Colonel Biabee coolly calculated the
necessities of his party and their predilections
in the premises, and all of his steps were taken
with his customary caution and with a fud
knowle ge as to the result.
There were some in this community who
actually had brought themselves to the belief,
that as one or two just persons had been found
even in ancient tiodom, so here and there
among the Republican members of the House
there would be discovered a few men who
would not permit their innate honesty and self
respect to be crushed under the weight of
party necessity.
It is neeolcss to say that any such expecta
tions proved utter y fallacious, and that all
through the struggle, there were constant
bitter and harsh outcroppings of sentimei ts
hostile to the South. It was a programme de
liberately planned, and most boidly and re
morsele s y consummated No mercy was to
be shown to the contestees; one after another,
they were quiet y shown the door. Old rules
were amen e<), and new ones manufactured to
meet the emergency, and the majority rode
rough hod over law and usage to accomplish
their purposes
The Republicans, ia their arrogant humor,
m st have forgotten the lex taliimis and that it
is possible that they may vet be hoisted by their
own petard. “It is a long lane that has no
turning," and they may yet repent in sock
cloth and ashes for .he practice of this new
code of parliamentary tactics.
The Northern Democrats, with hardly a sin
gle exception, battled bravelv in behalf of the
contestees, and have won the gratitude and
admi ation of the Southern people. They
would have held the lort, en:i prevented the
out age, haa not revolutionary methods been
adop-ed by the enemy.
Tne utmost indignation is expressed and en
tertained here of the treatment received by
General Finley, and there is a universal desire
tha he will again head our ticket. His friends
claim that it is bis j ight to prove that he was
hones’ly ad fairly e ected, and that they will
establish that fact by returning him by an in
creased majority
As to Colonel rfisbee, the sentiment is one of
unconcealed scorn and contempt. It is said
that his conduct has placed him outside of the
pale of re-pect, and should he again be the
candidate of the party, he will hear some lively
music. From what I have been able to gather,
he will have a waik-ov r at the convention.
Wth a pocket well-lined with his ill-g tten
gains, he can readily purchase a sufficient num
ber of the negro delegates, who compr se the
bulk of that body, to insure his nomination. It
is whispered that General Ledwith, Major Co
nant. Major Teasdale. or perhaps General Den
nil, may appear s aspirants, but the p ospect
is thai Bis bee will ag- in be the standard-bearer.
He is, beyond cavil, the ’’Boss” of the R publi
can party in this State, and while he enjoys the
ehone cuts of the prey, hi- camp-followers
must be contented with the offal.
There are several honest and upright white
Republicans who voted against him at the last
election, and his course in the late contest has
l enated numerous others. I has been a sub
ject of comu-eo! that his seati g last week ha 9
elicited no signs of satisfacti n even among
the negroes, who seldom 'ook beneath the sur
face. It is very evident that among the
several hundreds off iir and impartial white
Republicans i ■ this city and county that
Bis bee’s succes- is not an occason for rejoicing
He is personally unpopular at the i est, and
the fraud by which he has gained po er will
not be pardoneu by many who have heretofore
b* e his su p rters
No uneasiness ne and be entertained as to the
ri e anu progress of any Independent move
ment among the Democrats of Florida. Had
any such hopes been formed the action of Con
gress last week has fallen up- n them like a
blight, an > they lie prostrate in ih- dust, dead
and withered. In tbe tall st ruy gle Florida and
tne entire Soutn will be as solid as ever, for
they ap re ciate fu ly the fact that it is idle to
expi-ct juslice at the hands oi the Republi
cans. They derive encouragement also from
tbe brave stand made by Northern Democra s
in the Hou-e for the rights of Southern men,
as well ms from the hopeful look of affairs in
Ohio and Pennsylvania
So far as this xtate is concerned, there will
be no faltering in the ranks of the Democrats.
They are incensed and indignant, but ani
mated bv a common and fixed purpose
to wrest the power from a party who
look far • more to their continuance
in offlr# than to the good of the eouutry. You
mav expect good tidings from Florida in No
vem> • She is and will remain solid.
Railroad trains are now running for the first
time in t“anta Rosa aud Jackson counties, and
the good people of those sections of West
Florida woul i raiher listen to the whistle and
rattle of the locomotive than the divine-t
strains that everissu-d from the throat of ihe
most celebrated primadouna. It i- sweet mu
sic to their ears, for it brings with it the prom
ise of increased comfort and independence—of
smi ing fields and happy homes of plenty—of
thriving vill ges ano growing towns—of access
to marke's and good prices for their products
—of the thousand and one advantages of pro
gress and civilizatio i. They have our most
cordial congratulations upon this realization of
tbeir long deterred aspirations
Over seven nod a half millions of feet of
lumber were shipped from this port during the
month of May exclusive of a large am rent
sent to Fernaudina for exportation. Besides
this, one or two large mills have been emp oy
ed. much of the time, in supplying the local
demand. I his industry is constantly growing
in our mi’st, employ mg a heavy capital, and
giving work to many operatives.
Durint ihe present season over thirty thou
sand crates of vegetables have passed through
this city to market. This does not include
strawberries. Melons are now oming in abun
dantly These are u-ually forwaided by tbe
car-load to tbe Western, and by steamer in
bulk to the North*rn markets. Fine grapes,
of tbe Hartford prolific variety, were on sale
here on the first of the month. Thus Florida
is - ble during the whole year to send some
thing on to tickle the palates of our distant
brethren And these shipments wll continue
to increase in quantity, and augment in val e
from year to y-ar, for but a comparatively
smt-ll portion of the State is yet open to culti
vation, and the and mand for the luxuries we
raise is far in excess of the present supply.
a late issue of the Brunswick Advertiser and
Appeal contains ihe notice of anew organiza
t on that has been effected for the purpose of
construed g a line of railroad from near
Brunswick to the middle of the Bt. Mary’s
river, near tbe ton of that name, a distance
of fifty miles. From that point connection
will be made with the Transit Railway at or
near Fernandina. Among the incorporators
appear the names of such men as bir Edward
J. keed, the philanthropist George I. Seney, C.
S Brice, C D. Willard, A. D Basnett and
others. This will shorten Ihe distance to
Mu con and thence to the Northwest.
Mrs. D. L. Yul- e, who represents this State
on the Board of Regents ot the Mount Vernon
Association, will not have much difficulty in
providi g the r. om assigned to Florida with
furniture that is antique and valuable. Many
such relics enu be had in and about Tallahassee,
Bt. Augustine and Pensacola, and an effort ia
ibis direction will bring out a fine collection.
The schools generally have closed, and a
large number of our citizens are getting ready
to leave for the summer Fernandina, Ht.
Augustine and Green ove are al- able to offer
attracti- n- to those who do not wish to be ab
sent long or to go a great distance.
They were sixteen deaths within the city
limi s dur ng the past month, being six less
than for the corresponding month of last year.
Thi.- is satisfactory, as our population is con
stantly increasing.
During May, eleven white and twenty negro
marriages occurred in the county.
The highest temperature denoted ‘9 05 de

Mr. Abell, of the Baltimore Sun, is investing
heavily in real estate in this city. He is con

Even death does not end the mischievous
potentialities of the mother In law in China,
as the remarkable predicament of Li Chang
Lung, the Celestial Premier, shows. His
mother-in-law having recently died, by
Chinese custom it is incumbent for him to
retire into seclusion for two years—whether
to spare the neighbors the unseemly specta
cle of his j y or grief the world is at liberty
to guess for Itself. But, impregnated with
Western ideas, the recalcitrant Mlni-t -r re
fuses to subscribe to the usual custom,;the
more especially as his enemies are depend
ing on the two years’ banishment to bring
about tbeir own permanent restoration to
power. By an order from the Emperor the
Minister may have the two years’ seclusion
remitted, and this is wtul la likely to be
dose.

THE JiOti MEDALS DISTRIBUTED*
A General Description of the Brazen
Emblems of Fealty to Empire.
St. Louis Republican.
The historical medals which have been
struck off in this city in commemoration of
the bailors cast by the 306 men for General
Grant for President at the Chicago Convec
tion, which have been finished for some
time, have left the hands of the en
graver and are being distributed to the
m mbers of the O and Guard entitled thereto.
The business has been involved In some
mystery; the lips of the engraver and his
assistants have been sealed, as it were,
and thev have been warned against giving
any Information. But as to th>-
fact of the medals having “changed
hands” during the past week there is no
moral doubt, and each of the 306, including
the colored delegates from the Southern
States, and one who is supposed to be in
the penitentiary, will probably receive the
medal on whteta his name is inscribed before
the beginning of the leafy month of June.
Among the distinguished characters who
are thus entitled to medals are Chester A
Arthur. R->scoe Conkline, Ei wards Plerre
pont, C. E Cornell, Rufus H King, J Don
aid Cameron, B. K. Brace, Cyrus Bussey,
John A. Logan, Emory Storrs, Green B
Raum, S. W. Dorsev, Powell Clayton, Henry
C. Robinson, P B. 8 Pinchback. W. PI t
Kellogg, Tom Murpty and the balance if
<he 306. The origin ol tne medals is too well
known to need much more of a statem -nt
than was first given to the public by a local
account in the Republican before the design
was absolutely settled upon, the idea hav
ing originated with Mr Filley and Don
Cameron a few weeks after the Chicago
Convention. It is eald that the designers
had some trouble In getting a go and profile
of Gen. Grant, which was finally secured
through Col. Fred Grant, who got his father
to sit for a photograph, which is the onecu
on the medals. The medals are composed
of a dark rich bronze, and are one inch and
three fourths iu diameter, with tha edge
perfectly round, smooth and unmtlled.
On one side is a profile of Grant, and
underneath and extending round the head
is a wreath of leaves, and around all this Is
a raised circle, on which are engraved th
thirty-Bix ballots for Grant, the record be
ginning at the bottom, and, going round the
circle, meet sgain, the last hallo', 306
coming in contact with the first b.110t., 304

Atlanta, June 6—We are sdll having cool,
breezy weather, the nights being cold enough
for fires, blank* ts and overcoats.
Of course the coal aad wood dealers are
happy, as they can get rid of the surplus stock
it ft over by an open winter.
But the farmers who are raising cotton and
corn, they watch these cold nights with sad
faces, and expect every morning to find frost
on their growing crops
The small pox still holds its grip, and every
day or two a few new cases ere sent out to the
hospital, but the newspapers and the officials
are quiet, and no excitement prevails when new
cases spring up.
Real estate is about the liveliest thing in the
market, and new real estate offices are being
opened every few days. Competition and daily
auction sales make the boom “a thing of booty
nd a jiw forever.” The market is full of fine
residences, “gilt edge” building lots, factory
sites, etc., eta
There is another boom here that I have failed
to notice—that in “truck” farming Atlanta is
now environed by small veget ible farms and
dairy enterprises Every morning a swarm of
milkmen and vegetable peddlers sc-tter about
the city, and no family is obliged to gend to the
sc are a for eggs, butter, chickens, milk and early
vegetables.
and this suggests the subject of establishing
a central city maiket,which is periodically dis
cussed here, but always without results At
lanta has not been trained to market habits,
has grown up full of small groceries and me*t
stands, and with vegte able peddlers bringing
their products to their customers’ doors. It is
this fact that has prevented us from having a
central market, and will also defer the enter
prise for the present %t least.
Tnis ha-, been a week of accidents, shootings
and hangings. The most import int case is that
of Dr. Alex. Fox, the Russian, or ru-hing, opti
cian, we I known in Savannah and Florida, and
who was never suspected of being a dangerous
man. But he came back from Augusta mad,
and undertook to settle an old difficulty with
his former partner here by shooting Him. He
hit wide of the u ark, and Piekert escaped,
while Fox went to jail. Public sympathy is
rather on Pickert’s side, and the irate optician
will probablv find that his plan for settling
business difficulties is not strictly legal in its
operations.
MINOR TOPICS.
Things are in great confusion around the
State treasurer’s office just now. Anew and
thoroughly burglar pnof safe is being put into
the vault, which al-o has a safety lock door
Hereafter the State’s monev will bejdoubly
safe from rats, fire and burglars.
Visitors from abroad have long expressed
surprise at the shabby and unattractive ap
pearance of our fntuous Ponce de Leo-i Spring.
The owner, however has resisted ail attempts
at improvement by interested parties, but now
yields to the outside pressure, and Messrs.
Peters & Culpepper secure a long lease there
by. An elegant hotel and other desirable im
provements are now promised us for next
-eason. Visitors from abroad, as well as our
people, will hail these promised changes and
improvements with much pleasure.
A great deal is said in the papers about
Georgia gold, silver, coal, iron and other mi> es.
yet we have within our borders a mine that
promises to bring wealth to our coffers. I re
f-r to the paint mine near Augusta, which is
being operated by the Georgia Paint Company,
of that city, of which Dr D. B. Plumb, late of
Atlanta, is the efficient and energet.c President
The “Georgia Red,” or “Metallic Paint” and
“Golden Ochre” from this mine have already
become famous all over the country, and Presi
dent Piumb has jus r shipued thirty ton * to
Philadelphia alone. Under such an ene getic
manager this industry will prove a mine of
we* Ith to our State.
The removal of the headquarters of the
Southern Baptist Home Missionary Society
from Marion Alabama, to Atlanta, and the
election of R v. I T. Tichnor. D. D . of Aubui n.
Alabama, to succeed Rev Dr Mclntosh as its
Secretary, makes rur city the centre of mother
great religious and educational enterprise, and
brings to us one of Alabama’s most emin nt
divines and successful educators. Rev. Dr.
Tichnor hes been President of the Alabama
Agricultural and Mechanical College for abou*
ten years, and his removal to Atlanta wdi
orove quite a loss to that institution. Atlanta
heartily welcomes this eminent divine within
tier borders, where he will find anew and
broader field of use-illness
While there have been, here and there
throughout all parts of the countrv, some fail
ures in preparing ensilage for cattle, the gene
ral verd ct is in favor of tnis new method of
preserving fodder in a green and fresh state,
v silo must be Droperly constructed, the fod
der put into it in a systematic mam >r. and the
closing and weighting of it very carefully don >.
These three things are absolutely n-cessary to
success in any experiments ihtt look to secur
ing ensilage that can be safely fed to live sock.
The secon 1 silo at the Exposbli n groun is was
opened 1 st week, and was found in a mu-h
better conditii n than the one opened several
months sgo. The ensilage has be-n testf and and
found sweet and palatable, and the system is
n w officially indorsed by Commissioner Hen
derson.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The suggestion that a good man ought to be
elected President of the Benate because Mr
Stephens, if elected Governor, may die. is
unnecessary. Past experience has shown the
importance (even with a hea’thy man like
’iarfleld at tbe head of the ticket) of having
the right man in the second place. Death, I
have le < rued from a long observation,generally
spares the feeble an 1 sickly for many years,
while the strong and hedthy fall suddenly all
around them. This fact, so often lost sight of.
is worthy of more than a passing thought.
“Waiting for dead men’s shoes” is often a
very wearying and prolonged vigil.
i here is no hope that any other candidate
before tbe Democratic State Convention will
be -ble to supplant Mr. Stephens. Though a
section of the young Democracy are pushing
the cl dms of Speaker Bac n with much ze I
and some success, yet he will find st ong oppo
sition from various quarters. Should his sup
porters and those of Mr. Stephens “lock horns”
in the convention, and a prolonged struggle
ensue, a “dark horse,” pr. b inly from the
green pastures on the banks of the Chatta
hoochee at Cos umbus, will be put on the track.
Even Mr. Stephers’ defeat does not mean the
nomination of Mr. Bacon.
So much I state from observations taken in
this vicinity and pret y well substantiate 1 by
reports from other parts of the Slate. As to
Speaker Bacon, I know of no pul lie man in all
my long c areer as a correspondent in Congress
and State Legislatures who has displayed such
patient and laborious fidelity to his du'ies.
For twelve yea- she has been in the Georgia
General Assembly, much of the time as
Speaker of the House, and yet he has been
absent but two days trom his post during ail
that time, once on account of his own illness
and egain because o( the sickness of his wife.
In these days of congressional and legislative
absenteeism such a record should be ein blaz
oned in li-tters of gold upon the State’s coat of
aims. Bpeaker Bacon deserves all the honors
(Je .rgia can bestow upon a public -ervaut so
faithful for years in one laborious office.
FUNDS IN THE STATE TREASURY.
Some ot the newspapers are complaining t hat
Treasurer Speer has too mu- h idle money In
the State Treasury vaults. This is a mistake.
He holds very Httie cash that is not already
appropriated, anu some items that look like
hard cash are simply bonds. The public
should,remember that the Treasurer is tbe
S'ate’s banker. He holds her funds and she
checks on him as she needs money to pay her
debts and meet her appropriations. It be
come his duty, therefore, as a prudent banker
and w se financier, to he prepared for any and
all demands upon him in that direct! in.
For ex mpl*. to day he may have on hand
$500,0 0, anu the public will think this amount
is lying idle in the vaults of the Treasury And
yet to morrow an appropriation of $159,000
mav be called for in behalf of the Insane Asy
lum ' as per action of last General Assembly, or
a claim for interest may be presenteo; thus, in
forty-eight hours or less, reducing the amount
on hand to a very insignificant sum The tact
is, as was state during tae last session or the
Legislature, the State has no large surp us on
hand in ready cash. Treasurer Speer is a care
ful, shrewd and able financier, and as good a
Treasurer as Georgia could ask for, and the
public may rest assured that he will lose no
safe and proper opportunity to premite the
financial interests of the State. His record so
far is one that reflects only lustre upon his ad
ministration of affairs.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HANGIKOS.
The execution of Moon aDd Hanvey, at Car
rol ton, waR t > have been in private, but the
tail arrangements were too small for that nur
po e, and so they were hung in public. This
has cau-ed some unfavorable comments on the
action of the Judge and Sheriff, but I think
with' ut good reason. I have witnessed a num
ber of hangings in Georgia and Alabama dur
ing the past dozen years, all of which were
"priv-te.” yet only one—in the fine ja lyard at
Montgomery, Ala was really worthy of the
name No Sheriff in a small town can resir t
the pressure of persons anxious to witness the
sad spectacle, and a crown gets into the inclo
sare under one pretext or another, while out
side the throng of spectators witness the see* e
from trees, fences, housetops < r ether conven
ient lookouts All things considered, I believe
there is less of demoralisation and injury to a
community in a square out and out public exe
cution. M,hat we most need, both in private
and public executions, is a humane gallows and
an experienced hangman. The law has no
right to abuse a murderer in the mode of his
execution, yet I have never seen a man hung
with a proper regard for his sufferings or the
feelings of the more humane spectators. We
need mere hangings, but they should be better
conducted.
MILITARY PERSONALS,
The unseating of Lieutenant General Joseph
Wheeler, of Alabama leaves only three grad
uates of West Point Military Academy in Con
gress. These are Representative Robert M.
McLane, of Maryland, of the class of 1837.
Senator Samuel B. Maxey. of Texas, of the
elsßß of 1846, and Representative William S.
Rosecrans. of California, of cUsa of 18*9 Aud
yet Congress is full of Generals of the late war.
General Fits Lee's reoently expressed high
opinion of General etuart as a cavalry com
mander Is no doubt based on that of General
Robert K Lee, who, during his last visit to sa
vannah, in conversation with Colonel Wm. 0
Johnston of Macon, gave it as his opinion that
General J. J£. B Stuart, jf Virginia, and Gen.
Joseph Wheeler, of Georgia, were the greatest
cavalry commanders of the war. This is In
deed high praise from tbe highest source for
Georgia’s chivalrous soldier.
Captain George M. White, of the ©Bite t
States Nsvy, a native of Georgia, died recently
at Somerville, Mass., leaving behind “a good
name,” both as an officer and a citi2en. He
entered tbe service in 1828 and was retired is
1855, after arduous foreign and home service
afl -at. Of the deceased the Portsmouth, 18. i..
Chronicle says: “Captain White had many
friends among our residents while he lived ia
Portsmouth. He was a good officer and a
firm friend, and had it not been for the loss oC
his health would have filled a prominent poil*
tion in the navy during the long years he bis
suffered from the effi-ets of his eartv exposu.a,
which prevencea his performing theserviejs
for which his natural abilities amply qualifi-st
him He leaves a widow and a daughter, rei i
dent in this city.”
Georgia has no occasion to be other th ia
proud of her sons in the army and navy, lie
fore or since the war. Generals Meigs, Wallor,
Cuyier and Dandy, now in the service all have
fine records. Dandy, who entered tbe army
from Georgia as a private soldier in 1854, if now
a Major and Brevet BrLacier General, and Oil®
of the best Post Quartermasters in the service.
He has just been assigned to duty at rt. Louis,
a most important station, and in parting with
him General N les pays him thi- high compli
ment in a special order: “The Deparimeat
Commander takes this occasion to express hU
appreciation ot the services rendered by Maj tr
Dandy, and hi? reg* et that the exigency of the
service should deprive this command of S3
thoroughly competent an officer Maj jr Dan
