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 (of bridge fame). 76; Samuel W. Patters -n 72; William Eva s9O E Andrews 70; J.

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. lUe Ball Yesterday.

The Star Ro me Trials— I Tbe Kepub llcans and Internal Taxation— Nominations and Confirmation*. 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. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Jones, from the Committee on Rail roads, reported back, with a written report, the petition of cittz-ns of Louisiana for the 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 fora public building at Lynchburg, Va., was pak-ed. The House declaratory resolution regard ing the death of Garibaldi was agreed to. Con6lderaMon of the District of Columbia appropriation bill occupied the remtinder of the day. Less than a quorum of members wire present while the bill was under cjn sideration. Mr. Van Wyck offered a resolution di recting that the question of confirming the persons appointed to-day ou the Tariff Commission be con ideri-d in open session. The resolution was laid over upon an objec tion by Mr Plumb. Mr. Jones, of Florida, introduced a bill granti' g the right of way to the Jackson ville, T.mpa and Key West Railroad Com pany, through he military reservation at Tampa, Fla. Referred.

BRITAIN’S REALM. Davltton ibe Land Prnblem-Dublln (antic Rule Denounced—Tree Ite preailon Bill In tbe Cotumau*— 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. STARTING INDIANS. A Bad Slate of Adair* In Dakota. 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.

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.

NORTH CAROLINA COALITION ISTS. Gathering of Sorehead* and Radi* cal*. Raleigh, June 7.—The Liberal and Anti- Prohibition Convention met here to-day. About one hundred and fifty delegates were in attendance, of whom three were colored. About forty were from Democratic associa tions and about eighty were Republicans. Colonel Johnson, editors Bteward and Hal lyburton and Messrs. Rsspass and Seatter whtres, of Beaufort county, are the leading Democrats participating. Judges Moore and O'Hara, Colonels Taylor and O’Leary are the most prominent Republicans. Colonel Johnson, as Chair man of the Anti Prohibition Committee, called the convention to order, and was made permanent President. The negroes were awarded a share of the Vice President and Secretaries, and of the Committee on Resolutions. It is understood that tne lead ing Democrats and Republicans in the con vention have not been able to agree as to whether a Democrat or Republican shall be nomi ated for Congressman-at-large. The Republicans Insist that tney will not go over to the Democratic wing of the liberal party. Many Republican leaders are here in sym pa by with the convention, but not as dele gates.

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 are at work than on any previous day 6ince the strike began.

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. IHE TURF.

Tbe People of This District Outraged —Tbeir Will Net Aalde—A Pretender Succeeds— Highland Justice Defied —Northern Democrats Fight Brave lr—Tbe Desire for General Finley’* Retiomlnaiion Bubee will belli* Opponent-Florlda Solid In tbe Solid South—West Florida Altve a* and Hopeful-Business of Jackson* vllle— A New Connection with Georgia—Sundry Notes. 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 grees. the lowest 51 degrees. Last night the weather became quite cool, and heavier bed clothing was require and. Mr. Abell, of the Baltimore Sun, is investing heavily in real estate in this city. He is con stantly adding to his possessions, and will soon be one o* the largest tax-payers. Some very notable improvements are going on in Bay street, in tbe demolition of old and the erection of new buildings. W. H. B. 1b Gettysburg Reunion. Getttsburo, Pa., June 7 —The reunion of cUlcers of tbe Union and Confederate ar mies upon tbe battlefield of Gettysburg, for the purpose cf locating more definitely the positions of the various commands, com menced here to-day. Special attention was given to-day to the second day’s fight. 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 CRISIS IN EGYPT. THE TURKISH COMMISSION AT ALEXANDRIA.

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 (votes) The second ballot is 305, which continues to the eigh'h, going one better, 306 The ninth was 306, the tenth 305, the next the same, and the twelfth, dropping one, 304, which is regained, the thirteenth and fourteenth beinv 305; tne sixteenth,3o6; the seventeenth, 303; eighteenth, 305; the nintteentb, tne twei.ti-tb, 306; twenty-first and twenty-second, 305; twenty third, 304; twenty fourth, 305; twenty-fif h, 302; ' wen'y-sixth. 303; then there Is a jump to 306 In the tweDty-.reventh; twenty eigh’h, 307; twen'y ninth, 305; thirtieth, 307; thirty-first, 308; thirty second, 309; thirty third, the same; thirty-fourth, 312; the thirty-fifth jumped up to 313, and on the thirty-sixth, and last popped back again to 306 OtUside this record and along 'be rim is a jltur delis, which completes thf profile side of t e medal On the obverse aide the central portion is inscribed with a circle, and within is the followmg inscrip tion: COMMEMORATIVE OF THE THIRTY-SIX HAT.LOT3 THE OLD GUARD FOR ULYSSf 8 * GRANT F R PRKBIDENT REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.

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 dy’s iOig experience in the various depart ments, aud iu comm md of troops in the uel J, has given him a practical ku .wleil e of ihe re quirements of tue service exc -ed liily valu v ble a strict fl lefty to the public interest* and ju Igment iu the management of the busi ness of ihe Q lartermaster’s Department, rert de ed his services commendable and import ant.” FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
