Talbotton Herald: ‘‘On Friday evening last,
Mr. W H. Martin's steam threshing machine
was in operation on the place of Mrs. T A.
Brown, near Talbotton, when a most painful
accident occurred, whereby Mr. H C. Brown
was the sufferer. A pile of oafs had just oe*-n
threshed, and Mr. Brown was engaged in
pushing straw into the machine in order to
clean It. Standing on a small platform, he was
feeding the straw to the thresh with his left
hand, when, in an unguarded moment, hi * arm
being Introduced too far in. his hand was
caught bv the rapidly revolving cylinder and
drawn in up to the elbow, mangling and
lacerating the member in a most fearful
manner ’’
There was in the State Treasury ou the Bth
lust.. Wednesday, more than actual cemands
in sight, exactly $ 1,664 84. The State Treasurer
explains this to a Constitution reporter as
follows: “At the close of business yesterday
we had in the treasury $483,853 04. of which
sum there was S2TS.UW in United States and
State bonds. That left in currency $608,853 04.
The July and October interest on the public
debt will take of this amount $327,207 That
will leave $.81,646 4. The special appropria
tions made by the Legislature—that w. for the
enlargement of the asylum for the deaf and
dumb, the blind asylum, for the civil establish
ment aad other contingent expenses, will take
up $280(4*), which will leave in the treasury
just $1.6t6 01.”
The public schools of Oolumbus are run at an
annual expense of $13,922 61 <he whole num
ber of scholars enrolled Is 1,518—614 whites and
9i 4 colored, n gain over last year of ’.45 pupils
o be colored schools have Increased very large
I*, although more than one hundred have been
turned away for want of accommodation The
excess of numbers in colored over white schools
is due to the fact that children who do not
snow the alphabet are admitted into the for
mer nd not into the latter. Besi ‘es there is a
number of private schools for whites. There
are 27 teachers, including the Superintendent,
of which number 15 are white and 12 colored
The white .schools closed for the summer vaca
tion on tbe Bth (yesterday), and the colored
schools on the 9th (to-day).
Hawkinwille Dis/tatch: “On Tuesday of last
week the heire of the late George R. Reid, of
Wilcox county, met for the purpose of making
a division of bis estate, consisting of about ten
thousand acres of land, nearly five thousand
head of sheep, and about two thousand head
of cattle There were eleven heirs represented
—ten of them living children, and one grand
child drawing a mother's share. In the stock
of cattle were one hundred and fifty head of
beef steers, which were bargained for by Mr.
Woodson L. Wilcox. About four thousand
five hundred head of sheep have been gathered
the present season, am there may be more in
the ‘ranges ’ The estate owed nothing, and
the heirs decided It was better to divide the
lands and stock without incurring the expenses
of a sale. The estate was appraised at a sum
approximating S4O 000.”
Atlanta Post Appeal: “The long promised
cotton seed oil miU is at last blossoming in r o a
solid reality. To-dav there arrived in the city
the practical men who will inaugurate and
carry out the enterprise. The Dixie Oil Worts
of Nashville have shut down for want of seed,
and Mr. J R. Erb, the Superintendent of that
concern, has c me over to help Mr. James
Harrirgt in. of the same city, who is to be chief
millwright of the mill here The building is to
be pushed to completion at an early date, and
will b- 300x100 feet in ground floor measure
ment The work- are located three miles out
of the city, on the Georgia Road. They will
have a capacity of two hundred and sixty tons
of seed a week. Sir Robert Thompson and
Mr. Henry Sperry, both of Nashville, are
President and Secretary respectively, but the
msj jrlty of the stockholders are Atlanta men.”
Atlanta Constitution: “It seems that Atlanta
is to have a belt railroad at last, and that en
tirely outside the city limits. A well known
gentleman of the city, acting as sgent for the
Richmond and Danville Railroad Company,
has been very quietly buying the rlgnt of way
from a point close to the Exposition grounds
to some point near the Peachtree creek
bridge on the Air Line Railroad. If this
road is to te used in relieving the
crowding and switching of trains from across
the streets in the centre of the city, it
will be a great boon to our long sufferi- g
people. It is said that the right of way from
the Western and Atlantic Railroad to Peach
tree road has already been engaged, and will
be included in the purchases in a few days. It
is also stated that a depot similar to that at
Edge wood will be located on Roselale farm,
on Peachtree road, opposite the beautiful park
property of Mayor English and near to the
projected driving park.”
A correspondent of the Hawkinsville Dis
patch from Wilcox county writes as follows:
' It is well to let everybody know what some
men are doing in the land business in this sec
tion Tbe law requires that all land shall be
returned to the Tax Receiver in the county in
which the land is located. This gives us a
rhsnce to find out the principles of certain
men For instance, a citizen of Worth county
sent hi® returns over to Wilcox county, to be
placed on the tax digest of this county, claim
ing some of the oldest settled lots of iacd in
the county I will gve some of the numbers
to prevent inoocent parties from being
swi died, for the owners are substantial
citizens: Lot No. 231 This lot has been settled
fif y-six years and belongs to me. The follow
ing' are among the lots claimed; 201.242, 245
25', 249. 248. 256. 250, 852. These lands belong
to men here and the most of them are im
proved lands All persons had better beware
o' titles to any of these lands in the hands of
the Worth county claimant."

Tne Senate, soon after one o’clock, dis
pensed with the calendar, and resumed con
sideration of the District appropriation bill.
A number of the committee’s amendments
were ruled out on points of order, and the
dually reported from the committee.
Votes were taken upon the several amend
mente, and the committee was sustained In
each instance and no further change made.
The bill was then passed.
Mr. Hawley reported from the Military

a long time been paying field hands In ex

tion was passed.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House, on motion of Mr. Curtin,
of Pennsylvania, the bill was passed in
creasing to forty dollars per month the pen
s*on of anv person who in the late war lost
an arm, leg, hand or foot, or received dis
abilities equal thereto.
The House then at 1:10 o’clock went Into
committee of the whole, Mr. Updegrafl, of
lowa, in the chair, and resumed considera
tion of the general deficiency appropriation
bill.
At 3:10 consideration of the bill was com
pleted, and the committee rose and reported
it back to the House. Motions to strike out
the appropriations for the payment of
amounts due land grant railroads for army
transportation and for bureaus In the Navy
Department were lost. A motion to strike
out the clause appropriating $112,600 for
the payment of sptclal deputy marshals at
Congressional elections In 1881 and prior
years was lost.
In speaking to this proposition Mr. Cox,
of New York, said : "Inasmuch as the men
selected for these positions at our elections
performed the wotk and are not in any
sense responsible for the law under which
they acted, and the money is tbefr due, we
desire to say that In votlDg for this proposi
tion we do not yield our well considered
judgment as to the Invalidity of the Federal
law.”
The bill then passed—yeas 116, nays 57.
The House Immediately thereafter went
Into committee of the whole on the legisla
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
bill.
In explaining the bill, Mr. Cannon, of
Illinois, said the bill provided for an Increase
of employes In the Pension Office at an ex
pense of #1,742 000, but ou'stde of
that item spp-opriated only $220,000 more
than the bill for the current year. If this
increase of force in the Pension Office was
agreed to, during the next four years there
would be required $425,000 000 to pay for
pensions, but, it w 6 better to expand the
surplus revenue In that manner than to have
it remain in the Treasury a standing temp
tation to those who desired to promote
schemes at the cost of the government.
The committee then rose.
Adjourned.
THE BTAR ROUTE TRIALS.
When the star route trial opened to-day
Judge Wylie said his attention had been
called to articles printed'in the newspapers
in this District and In New York, assailing
the jury before which these cases are being
tried, and which do great Injustice to
the jury. After expressing his entire
confidence In the jury, the Judge said
it was a cruel Injustice on tbe part of tbe
writers for papers to assail a juror, who has
been regularly Fe'ected, without knowing
any facts on which to base their charges
“I have 6een so much injustice done to
jurors and to litigants and to the courts who
are engaged In the administration of justice,
that I feel called ctyon in this case to declare
that these charges, in my opinion, are with
out founda’lon. These flving rumors are cal
culated to do great harm. To ere is a law
which subjects parties to prosecution for
libel In consequence of articles publlt-h* and,
the effect of which is to obstruct the ad
ministration of justice, and 1 do think It
will be the duty of the District Attorney to
call the attention of the grand jury to some
of these newspapers and see If we
cannot have justice administered fairly
according to the law without having jurors
disparaged and misrepresented upon mere
conjecture or fancy, and I trust that th*
jurors in this case will see the propriety of
guarding tbelr own conduct while this case
is pending 60 as not to subject themselves
to good grounds of suspicion, or
even to the appearance of Improper
conduct. I will only lose faith in
♦his jury when driven to it by something
more than newspaper articles. Gentlemen
of the juiy. your position is one of much
delicacy. Do not allow any person to ap
proach you or to suggest their own views, or
make any lntimatffin whatever, whether
they are connected with the trial of this
pause or appear to be unconnected with l*.
You do not know what motives may influence
suggestions from persons outside. Kep
your own counsel. Follow vour own judg
ment and confc'ence. K-ep yourselves un
contamlnated by the world outs ae.
Mr. McSweeny then concluded his open
ing address for the defense, occupying tbe
time to the recess. After the recess the ex
amination of witnesses began, the witnesses
to-day being present or former clerks In the
department, who fes'lfied to the mrihods of
keeping the records of the star routes.
THE ALLEGED WHISKY BING.
The Wlndom committee resumed this
morning Its Investigation of the charges of
corruption in connection with the passage
through the House of the bonded spir
its bill. Mr Hawthorne Hill, of the
Louisville Commercial, A C. Buell,
of the WashlDgfon Critic, and Charles
NordhofE, of the New York Herald,
were examined bv the committee. Mr. Hill,
the first witness, related incidents of bis In
terview with Mr. A'berton at his (Ather
ton's) residence, and stated the substance
of the conversation which ensued, and de
clared that the interview published In the
Commercial, of April 28th, was a substan
tially correct recital of that conversation,
that the only errors were of verbiage, not or
fact; that the statements were correct,
though the language was not verbatim.
Mr. Atherton, who was present, asked
permission to question the witness and
was allowed to do so, but failed to secure
any admission otljer than those contained In
his direct statement.
Mr. Buell was examined at some length
as to what Information be had on which to
base the charges which had from time to
appeared in bis paper. Witness stated that
his information was entifely general and
•cumulative, derived from a great
camber of conversations with diverent
people, from current gossip, from news
paper articles, and from the manner In
which the specific matter of legislation bad
been accomplished He had been inclined
to regard the bonded epjrit bill from the
start as a job, and, therefore was nut Inclin
ed to give It the benefit of any doubt. He
had no specific Information apart from that.
In the possession of other people. The gen
eral run snd tenor of the public discussion of
the matter were the ou'y means of Informa -
tion whjch he possessed He was asked rihy
he had In varlbas articles la the Critic men
tioned the names of General Boynton, Mr,
Nordboff, Major Carson and others as Influ
ential journalists, who were under suspicion
of being corruptly Influenced. Witness did
not remember having ever mentioned the
name of General Boynton. He had alluded
to others only in a spirit of ehs," He had
treated the charge that Influential jour
nalists had been bribed as a farce. He had
spoaec Of 1* i“ Pper as a joke. At
: e *t that was w ipjeptjou. He might be
a poor joker, but that Was u.e Lett he
could do. .
Witness was asked: "Can you give us any
Information going to show that any member
of Congress, or Senator, oa any journalist
ever received or was offered any considera
tion whatever In connection with the bill.”
"No, sir: I have no Intimation whatever,
only suspicions; much of it based upon
facte that I never before Ifcew. AWU In
volving $80,000,000 between individuals apd
tbe government w *£ to be passed through
the House under a BuscenHop of the rules.
I thought thia was a pretty piala Indicatiop
that the beneflclartea of the bill old ns#t
court Inquiry or discussion.”
Senator Hawley cross-examined Mr.
Buell pretty closely, but failed to gain any
more exact Information au to tbe founda-
A • >■ ‘ • *
tlon for Buell’s articles, and the examina
tion for a time took the form of a discus
sion upon journalistic ethics, in which It
appeared that Mr. Hawley, who ts a veteran
journalist, held to a totally different code
from the one which, Mr. Buell 6aid, ob
tained in the District. Mr. Bnell
intimated to Mr. Hawley that Hart
ford journalism Is a hundred
years behind the times, and added that the
poverty of Washington journalists was a
sufficient, guarantee of their honesty at least.
Mr. Nordhoff, of the New York Herald, be
fore testifying, was permitted to ask a few
questions of wiscess. He said: “As my
name has been used fn an undesirable con
nection, I would like to ask whether you
ever knew me to take money in a corrupt
way?”
“1 never did.”
"Have you anv reason whatever to believe
that I ever did ?”
"I have Done.”
Mr. Nordboff—Mri Chairman, I would
like to ask the witness If he thinks It a just
and proper thing to make charges against
an honorable man, and whether It Is not de
grading to J ournalism to do so.
The witness was willing to admit that It
was when made - maliciously, but many
things were said In newspapers that the
wri'er would not say under oath. Turning
to Hawley, witness remarked: "You are a
newspaper man yourself, General, and you
know that to be tbe case ”
Mr. Hawley replied: “I am not prepared
to say as a newspaper man that a j mrnalist
has any right to attack the character of a
citizen through a newspaper without true
cause, or that he Is not, If an honorable
man, just as much bound to tell the truth
In a newspaper as he would be if under
oath ”
Mr. Nordhoff was then sworn and ques
tioned: “Have you any information bearing
upon the subject of this inquiry, that Is,
whether there has been any Improper use of
money lu securfne legislation upon the
bonded spirits bill?”
He replied that he had never heard of
any use or proffered use of money. Mr
Nordhoff then made a general statement
to the eff-ct that his object in all the
publications made in the Herald was to un
cover corrupt newspaper men and lobbyists,
If there were any, and he gave some atten
tion to it because charges bad been made
by Mr. Atherton, whom he had learned upon
Inquiry lobe a man of character and reputa
tion. The committee adjourned until Satur
day next.
THOSE FORGED BONDS.
S cretary Folger dentes utterly that there
Is any foundation for the rumor that a
quantity of forged United S’ates bonds are
In circulation. The story Is a pure fiction
starred by sensation mongers. In all the
bond redemDtions so far not a single coun
terfeit has been presented for payment.
The Treasury officials also announce that
the arrest of Brockway was at the Instance
of private parties and not of the govern
ment; that Brockway will probably be re
leased, as he has not, so far as Is known,
violated the condition under which his
sentence was suspended When Mr. Devens
ws Attorney General.
INDIAN AND MEXICAN INVASION CLAIMS.

THE MISSOURI BANK ROBBERY.
A Job That .Smack* of tbe James
Gang.
Kansas City, June 8 —The following are
the particulars of the bank robbery at
Brookfield, Mo., yesterday: Six armed men
rode Into the town of Brookfield just as the
bank was closing for the day, dismounted,
aud, covering the clerks with their revol
vers, robbed tbe safe of about SSOO.
They kept up a rapid fusllade
with their firearms as they rode
through the place, overawing the towns
people. The men were all masked. The
County Sheriff and the Marshal organized a
po-se as speedily s possible and started
after the robbers. Dick Little, ex-Marshal
L’egett and others In this city, who are fa
miliar with the James gang, think Frank
James was not connected with the affair,
although they say the job was done up
in the James oovs’ 6tyle. It is claimed that
Frank Is not in the neighborhood. There Is
plenty of tall timber near Brookfield, and It
Is Dot thought Dkely that the gang will be
captured. A dispatch from St. Joseph says
that a party of men have been shopping on
the Harper farm five miles south of Ktrks
vllle, near Brookfield, for the past three
weeks Thev kept their revolvers on all
the time. Nobody knew them. Several
horses were stolen there on Saturday night.

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1882.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
AND THE NOMINEES.
General Dl**ailfactlon—Brown and
Jane* Hand eppd-Objection* to
tbe Personnel of ihe Commission—
A Close Flxbt In Prospect.
Washington, June 8 —lmmediately after
the adjournment of the Senate to-day
twenty-four of Its Democratic members
assembled in caucus for the purpose of
interchanging views In regard to the fitness
of the President’s nominations of Tariff
Commissioners. No attempt was made to
secure caucus action on the question, and
at the conclusion of the conference, which
lasted an hour and a half, every Senator was
left free to vote upon it In executive session
according to hls own judgment or his In
dividual bias It was developed, however,
by the interchange of Views on tbe part of
those present and by t-ustwortby state
ments in regard to nearly all of the absentees
that the Democratic members of the Senate
are practically unanimous in holding
that the commission is unfairly
constituted and should therefore be re
jected. The ground was taken by nearly all
the speakers, Including Senator Bayard and
some others, who voted for the Tariff Com
mission bill, that the proposed membership
of the commission is wholly inconsistent
with the avowed purpose of the bill, which
contemplated an Impartial Investigation and
looked to recommendations that should be
free from the suspicion of self Interest.
It was asserted that two of the nominees,
namely. Messrs. Haynes, of Massachusetts,
and Garland, of Illinois, are salaried officers
of the Protective High Tariff Association,
and that the third, Mr. Parker, of
the District of Co’umbla, Is a stipendiary
of the nme organization. Messrs Oliver,
of Pennsylvania, and Kenner, of Louisiana,
were criticised as being likewise champions
of protection for special interests, who
might well be expected to combine wPh the
above named members in the interest of a
high tariff. General Underwood, of Geor
gia, was referred to as an obscure
old man, nominated at the Instance
of Georgia protectionists, and Mr. Ambler,
of Ohio, whom Senator Pendleton declared
he had m;ver heard of until nominated for
a place on the commission, although re
garded to some extent as an “uncertain
quantity,” was generally believed by the
members of the caucus as also a friend of
a high tariff The seventh gentleman nomi
nated for membership, Mr. PbelDS, of Mis
souri. was spoken of as a tariff reformer,
but it was also announced that he had de
clined the appointment.
So far as can be ascertained to-night
there are only two of the Democratic Sena
tors willing to vote for the confirmation of
the commissioners, namely, Messrs. Brown,
of Georgia, and Jonas, of Louisiana, both
of whom feel measurably bound to do so
by reason of their having respectively
recommended two of the members ap
po'nled.
Oa the other hand It is understood that
Senators V*' Wyek and Ingalls will vote
with the body of the Democrats against
their confirmation. In this event, the de
termination of the question will probably
rest with the two members of tbe “Inde
pendent party” In the Senate Messrs.
David Davis andMahone.
Mr. Wheeler, of New York, had, It was
said a leaning in the direction of high tariff
In discussing the personnel of the commis
sion as a whole eeveial Senators expressed
serious doub's as to the intellectual
competence of the proposed comnrd c sloners
to Investigate a subject of such difficulty
and complexity as the tariff and to give
Congress advice with regard to it which
would have a real value and Importance.
ALABAMA DEMOCRATS.
The Ylcket and the Platform.
Montg mery, Ala., June 8 —The Demo
cratic State Convention to-day nominated
E. A. O’Nell #or Governor by acclamation.
Tbe convention also nominated H. C.
Tompkins for Attorney General, Ellis
Phelan for Secretary of State, J. H. Vincent

a State to regulate its local affairs by its
own authority.
We are unalterably opposed to the con
tinued nets of the Federal authorities lead
ing to the centralization of all power in the
General Government, to the destruction of
local self government.
We present the record of the administra
tion of State eff drs while In control of the
Deni'c-atic party as an earnest of tbe
fidelity of the party to the principles of
economy and good government.
We lDvite immigration and capital to our
Btate, and pledge full and perfect protec
tion to all such as may come among us.
We bold that public education should be
fostered and encouraged by the State as far
as 'he means of the State will allow, having
at the same time due regard to the preserva
tion of the public credit.
We recognize the necessity of protecting
and preserving the purity of the ballot-box
as the safeguard of free institutions, and
condemn any attempt to Interfere with a
full and free exercise of the elective fran
chase.
The Executive Committee Is requested to
prepare and issue an address to the people
of the State.
THE CLAYrON-BULWER TREATY.
Tbe London Preaa on Secretary Fre
linghujrsen’* Dispatch.
London, June 8 —The News, In a leading
article on Secretary Frelinghuysen’s dis
patch, of May Bth, to Mr. Lowell, touching
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, says: “Lord
Granville will not fail to remember that the
commercial as well as legal and political
considerations, decide against the posi
tion which Secretary Frelinghuyeen has
chosen to assume.”
The Standard says that ‘‘Frelinghuysen’s
considerations were certainly not a: guments
tht affect the validity of the Clayton
Bui wer treaty, and they can only be regarded
as local prejudice Introduced to show the
strength of the motives which urge the
American Government to withdraw from
their engagements, and render it Impossible
for their representatives to take a just and
dispassionate view of the legal side of the
question. The answer to all this rhetoric is
that tbe treaty has been made and ought to
be kept.”

COTTON.
'Bad Effects, of Imperfect Glnmlnc
and Sand.
New York, June B.—The board of mana
gers of the New York Colton Exchange
have recently adopted a report relative to
waste In the staple. The report says :
“Whereas, Nnmerous complaints have
been made about waste In the sta
ple of American cotton, more par
ticularly of this year’s growth, which
has led to the belief In many lns’ances that
It Is caused by ginning at a high rate of
speed and cleaning seed too closely, thereby
breaking the staple and producing an excess
of fluffy or what is known as reginned sta
ple, thus lowering Its character and value.
“This Exchange would most earnestly
call the attention of ib< planting interest to
the evil and ask that efforts be made to cure
It. It is quite manifest that lowering the
value of cotton by imperfect handling is
injurious to the Interest of the Bouth. Bome
of the damage complained of is traceable to
the imperfect condition of the gins, the
necessary repairs not being made when they
are required.
“Farmers should understand that it Is the
staple of American cotton that enableg it to
be sold at a higher value than the product
of India, and that in so much as the staple Is
deteriorated It will be surely felt In the
price. Sand and dust have been found
in our crop this year In larger proportion
than ever before, hence a great reduction In
price has been made fQr it. No doubt the
very dry season had considerable to do with
their presence, and has caused a low price
to be accepted for sueb, as sales have been
made at 2,2)£ cents, and even more below
the value of the eame grade of clean citton.
It is said that cleaners were exhibited at the
Atlanta Ex -osltion that would remedy this
grievance, and, if it be true, their adoption
6hould become geneiat. In conclusion,
planters should be reminded that more care
should be given to baling, so as to avoid
mlxiag different qualities in the same bale,
which is a source of great annoyance at the
mills, and leads to reclamations against sell
ers.”

London, June B.—The debate on the re
pression bill was resumed In the House of
Commons this evening.
Charles Ruseell's amendment, defining
intimidation as threats or acts of violence to
the person or property or incitement there
to, was rejected—4s to 226.
Previous to the rejection of the amend
ment, Sir Wm. Harcourt, Home B a cretary,
undertook to Insert the words: ‘‘Providing
that acts prescribed by this clause must, to
be punishable, be done with animus.”
Mr. Parnell declared that this so-called
concession made the clause, if anything,
worse.
An amendment offered by Mr. Parnell,
eeekiog to define intimidation, and limiting
it to certain definite acts, was rejected by a
vote of 247 to 36
Mr. Thomas Power O’Connor, in the course
of bis speech supporting the amendment,
accused the Ministry of imoecllity.
Objection was made to tbe language used,
but the Chairman ruled that it was not un
parliamentary. The rulffig caused some
laughter.
Michael Davitt, accompanied by the
younger Mr. Redmond, arrived at Cork to
night. Both will sail for America to mor
row.
A murder occurred at Ardraban, seven
miles north of Gort. Mr Bourke was riding
in front of his dragon escort when a volley

He was a barrister by profession and had
amassed a fortune in India. He possessed
two estates in Ireland, one at Carralegh and
the other at Rahasale. After returning from
India he contested the seat in Parliament
for Mayo against Mr. Nelson. He
had had several disputes with his

GOTHAM GLEANINGS.
RADICAL SQUABBLES AND THE
COMING FIGHT.
Jerome Park-The Bull* and Bear*
—Theatrical Talk Tbe Sporting
World—A Drunken Man’* Fea*.
New York, June 6.—Mr. Conkling is under
going persecution again, and his enemies keep
piking disagreeable thiugs at him, and the
more he endeavors to be as a dead man in
politics the more persistent is the poking. The
last trouble had a small beginning. I have, I
believe, alluded to it before. However, it has
grown until it has created an uproar and has
included the President himself, and id such a
manner that it is not easy to see how he will
make his way out of the tangle. Briefly, a
short article was published not long ago n a
country paper asserting that Mr. Coqkling’s
supporters wished their chief to
withdraw from the contest, and repeatedly
said so, but he refused, which
article attracted attention, because published
in the paper patronized by General Sharpe.
The ex-rtenator descended from his pedestal to
the Herald office (he always writes his own
interviews, and sometimes revises them in
proof) to deny the statements contained in the
articie. Moreover, he said that he went to Al
bany and consented to be a ca.didate for re
election at the urgent solicitation of liis friends.
General Sharpe, in answer to the suggestions
that he was the author of the article, said he
was not; but he laughed at the idea of Mr.
Conkling being urged to become a candidate,
and asked who these very solicitous
friends were. To the amazement of all
Mr. Conkling made a second visit to the
Herald office; this time to publish a
list of letters from the “friends"
confirming his statement. One of the writers
was Senator Jones, another was John F. Smyth
and another Thomas C. Platt There were four
others. The® “<1 that they were at a con
ferenc of President Arthui- (he
was Vi —then) on Sundav.May 22. of
last year, and that It was agreed that Mr. Conk
ling should take the course he did. Further
more, the "friends” said that General Sharpe
was at this conference and was an earnest ad
vocate of the policy adopt and These letters
form an overwhelming denial of Gen. Mharpe’s
assertions, and we are now waiting to hear
what he has to say. He will say something. He
is very combative, and what he says when he
does speak will be very emphatic. But this
isn’t all. President Arthur, as I have said, has
also become involved He has said that no
conference was held on Sunday, May ?2, 1881
This denial was made by him at the time. The
Rev. Howard Crosbv and others had sevetely
criticised the Vice President for holding con
ferences at his house on Sunday, and Mr. Ar
thur in an interview positively denied that any
conference of a political nature was held on
that day. There it is. What is the truth? This
discussion is as interesting to Democrats as
Republicans, and is viewed as another proof of
the serious danger threatening the Republican
party in this State. The line between
the stalwar sand the anti-stalwarts
is now more definitely drawn than ever before.
AVhen Tammany is on the war-path. Republi
cans clap their hands and encourage the
leder. Just so the Democrats are in good
spirits over every renewal of intestine strife in
tbe Republican camp. This personal squabble
intensifies the fight between the two factions
over the Governorship, and tne impres-ion is
gaining ground that it will end in the Demo
crats winning the race Mr. Conkling (if his
opinion is worth any:hing now) has recently
been quoted as saying that the Democrats will
probably win. Also there will likely be a big
turn around in 1884.
The racing season was opened here last Tues
day by the meeting of the American Jockey
Club at Jerome Park. One going out in a ve
hicle was reminded of Derby day in England.
There was a continuous cavalcade on the road.
Men and women galloped along on horseback
in the direction of tbe park, which lies at a
considerable distance above the Harlem river,
and Tally-Ho coaches, landeaus. Stanhopes,
carriages, dog-carts, and vehicles of other
> hapes followed each other in wild disorder All
fashionable New York appeared to be on Its
way to the races. I know of no scene more pic
turesque than a caravan of this nature -the men
in their shining holiday raiment good-humo-ed
and noi*y, and the women in the glory of bril
liant plumage. There is nothing like horse
racing here to bring out fine feathers. Th
young lady of fashion on raring days glories
in color, and she exhausts the devices of the
milliner in gratifying her whims. When once
in her carriage she is enough to make the mild
est mannered bull climb a fence. Well, it. ou
tributes very much to the picture and adds in
terest to the racing. There was a humor
ous element as well as a picturesque
one. Book-making was prohibited by the club.
But the book-makers were on the ground, and
not one missing. They did not have their
slates and their tin boxes, but they carried
leather bags swung around their shoulders
Before the racing opened they began business
in anew form. They took money from the
layer of odds, clapped it into their little yellow
bags, and put down the names. No cards nor
tickets were given out. Betting men were so
anxioiwto put up their money that they didn’t
hesitate to trust to the In ne-ty of the book
maker The betting ring in a few minutes was
crowded almost to suffocation A stop was put
to this method and another device was resorted
to. This was to take odds without any money
being put up at all. and it being agreed th >t
this did not violate the legal deflniiion of the
law. the betting was vigorously carried on in
this fashion There will be fine racing through
out the meeting at Jerome Park. As the book
makers have succeeded in whipping the devil
around the stump, they will not miss any of
the sport.
After looking down upon the scene of con
fusion at the Btock Exchange the other day,
where men bullied and badgered each other,
swarmed in groups flinging up sometimes one
floger, sometimes more, shouting hoarsely
above the dm or shrilly piping, all to the end
that prices of stocks might be forced a little
either way. After looking upon this I strolled
a short distance down Broad street and went
into a "bucket shop." A place where stale
beer, drained from kegs on the sidewalks by
men who prowl around early in the morning
is sold, is called a “bucket shop;” and this
place where stocks are bought and sold in
small quantities by some sort of an analogy
goes by the same name. The room was a long
narrow one. lighted in the middle by a sky
light. Somebody indulged the humorous side
of his nature by putting up a picture of an en
counter between a bull and a bear, intended
to represent each as holding his own. but in
which the bull was plainly getting the better
of his hairy antagonist. The same names that
stare you in tbe face and sound In your ears in
the Exchange are visible here at the
head of columns on great black
boards, lu front of which a pale
faced young man shuffles half sideways and
half square front, putting in quotations as they
come on the telegraph machine in the corner.
An omnibus in a crowded thoroughfare never
picked up a more miscellaneous crew than is
found here every day. The sleek, well-fed
operator, who makes money whether stocks go
up or down, is not found here. He wou'd count
it a disgrace it his nose was seen inside the
door. Those who are here are all much on
equality in one respect—in bein - run-down-at
heel, and in various degrees of seedi
ness. Another common characteristic might
be named, which is that nearly every
man had lumpy feet that made
hiilsand hollows of his shoes, cut in places for
easement. Why this characteristic? It is a
riddle. The most prosperous looking individ
ual present, was an elderly man with Dun
dreary whiskers, who wore a light suit of
clothes and leaned on a yellow cane. He stood
before the changing figures on the blackboard
and complacently puffed a cigarette. From
him there was a des ending scale down to a
man whose coat was in the last stages of decay
and his trousers frayed into a fringe at the
bottoms. His luck had tuned against him;
yet he watered the figures with the
interest that the gambler does the
wheel in roulette. One is as much
a game of chanoe as tbe other. This man
could not have had a dollar to put up. There
was also a frisky Jew in the shop. He had a
shock of grey hair, surmounted by a hat in an
advanced stage of decay, being broken in and
discolored, and worse an ill-made suit of store
clothes. A face passed me, which at first I
was not to anal* *e It was red and of that
kind of red that indicates hard drinking But
there was something else in the face
seemed to belong to it as much as the co'or. It
was a chronic expression of disappointment.
In all probability the disappointment led tothe
battle. Nevertheless he bought tickets
and looked hard at the black
board. A 1 on® end of the room
a man stood at a “ticker' 1 and received
orders to sell so many shares of a certain
stock or to buy so many shares. The amo- .ai
usually invested was ss—in margins, cf course.
The customers vacillated between this desk and
the boards where the quotations were posted
It is tbe continual dropping that tells. The
man who stands at the “ticker” aDd does the
buying and selling, and always m*<res sure of
his commissions, has made a fortune.

Elliott, the heavy weight ex champion,
wants to fight Sullivan (so he says), and so
does Jem Mace. Paddy Ryan, when he was
nearly battered to death by the Boston
“Chicken” (queer that ffiatheffc, cultured Bo*-

ton should have become so famous in the
sporting line), returned to shoeing horses, say
ing as well as he could with hi* mashed mug
that he wou'd remain forever in, private life.
But he emerged from obscurity recently to say
that he would fight Sul ivan yet, and no funny
business about it either. The ••Chicken”
says he’s ready for any of them as
wants to come. He is now traveling
with Billy Madden, the trainer of Jay Gould’s
son George in pugilistic science. The muscu
lar giant, like men great in other lines is an
egotist,and coolly tells all of these men who are
anxious to suffer the cruel fate of Paddy Ryan,
that the man who comes first will he serv-d

it eludes the sporting gemman.
The man who some weeks ago loomed up out
of obscurity as a disciple, of Sim Patch,
and made ready to jump from the Brook
lyn bridge, but didn’t, has made two further
attempts to distinguish himself. A guard has
been placed on the bridge, and the athlete in
trunk-hose, accompanied by bis friends, has
been twice turned back But he might as well
give it up now; he would win no glory by it,
were he to bob up from the water ever so se
renely. On Sunday last John D. Breosley was
staggering over High Bridge, which crosses the
Harlem river at tha northern extremity of Man
hattan Island, when he suddenly conceived
that it would be a brilliant scheme to jump
from the bridge to the river below.
The distance is one hundred and fortv-flve
feet, which is ten feet in excess of that from
the Brooklyn bridge to the water. Thedrurk m
man climbed over the railing without more
ado and jumped off, falling into twenty feet of
water. He was fished out by a boatman, as
drunk as ever, but apparently uninjured. The
brilliancy of the act wag altogether lost on two
policemen, who walked the hero two miles to a
Soliee station and locked him up. Bo the
rooklyn bridge crauk will not jump now.

Laramie, W. TANARUS., June 8 — At Rawlings

who had threatened his life. McCabe Is a

and possibly trouble from the Indians Is
feared. The act was the result of an old
feud. The ball lodged In Colla c on’s brain,

will probably justify the act on the ground of
self-defense.

THE DAVIDSON-WITHERSPOON CONTEST.
As was some time ago chronicled in the
News, ths contest of Witherspoon against
Davidson for a seat in the House was agreed
upon by the Elections Committee to bs dis

a report in the case, he representing the Elec
tions Committee. That report is as follows:
‘‘ln this case there was no notice of contest
or auswer, and no evidence taken legally,
which the committee hal before them. Con
testant apueared, and produced an affidavit,
a copy of which is appended to this report,
with ttie counter affidavit of ooutestee. ’ihe

insufficient and inadequate. It alleges
certain frauds very generally, but does not get
up or allege that contestant was elected. The

committee are of the opinion that contestant’s

THE FORFEITURE OF LAND GRANTS TO RAILROADS.
The House Committee on the Judiciary has
reported upon i he question of i he forfeiture of
land grants wh'C i w-re made to railroads.
This report excludes from forfeiture the lands
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which is the
greatest offender against the laws in this par
ticular, and includes a number if roads of less
wealth and importance The Hou“e Commit
tee did not dare—for some reason—to report:
against the Northern Pacific. But the seme
committee had the courage to report against
small roads. In other words, there is no recom
mendation to forfeit the lands of the delinquent
Nor'hern Pacific hut there is a very unani
mous report against small railroads, which
have not complied with the terms of their
original laud grants Among the small roads
is the Albany and Savannah Road, which
has never been commenced. Roads which
iiave been commenced are, as a general rule,
not included in the forfeiture.
ALL HERE.
Every Republican in Georgia of any
prominence, from Atkins down, are now
here. Even Farrow is on the scene; and a
couple of men from Savannah are here about
the new District Attorneyship. Recent events
in Georgia have so completely sat down upon
anything like Republicanism or Independent
ism that tlio present visitors find things not
near so promising or encouraging as in the

Deaiti from Apoplexy—A ’Gator
Capured.
Jf.sup, June 7.—Mr. L. A. Rice, agent of the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway at
Doctortown. was stricken yesterday about 2 p.
m. with an apoplectic attack, from the t ffects
of which he died last night at 11 o’clock He
had laid down after dinner to take a nap, and
his cook shortly afterward he-rd him fall
heavily from the bed rshe went in immedi
diately and fou and him in a semi-conscious
state trying to get buck on the bed She called
two colored men who were working on the
road near by and had th-m to put him on
a pallet. Th- nearest physician to be had was
at Jesup. Dr. Mcßae or that pla e, was sum
moned, but owing to delay in getting the sum- '
mons, did not reach the patient till about 10 i
o’clock p. m. I' was then too late to do any
thing for the suffering niau, who died soon
afterward.
In adoirion to his position as agent of the

town, by Mr Spellman, foreman of the bridge
gang, assisted by the men under his control.
The saurian was crossing from one lagoon to
another and was discovered by some negroes
who called Mr 8. to the scene. After a con
siderable scuffle, during which Mr Spellman
was knocked to the ground by a scientific ilop of
the “ ’gator’s” tail, he was bound with strong
ropes to a broad piece of scantling, special
paiDS being taken to secure his snout in such a
wav that he could not possibly display his
teeth. Mr. S presented his ’gat rship to Con
