The attitude of our people toward the road >8 friendly now, and always has been; and they Teel that if it is possible, our town will not be left off the main line. The full and free discussion had between the committee in Savannah on the lGth of May, tended to make the atuaUon plain and unmistakable, and brought about a complete understan ling be tween them. We feel that the future of Bain bridge is involved in the extension of this road, and we hope for the best, and will continue to do so until the question is definitely settled.’’ Florida Affairs. Mrs. decker, cf Tallahassee, cut and made for herself a drees out of silk from cococns made in that city in 1813. Central America cocoanut plants are being set out on Calooeahatchee river.

Messrs Bradford 4 Ro-s, of Leon county, have inaugurated anew enterprise at Brad fi.rdvilie, about ten miles north of Tallahassee, which promises to prove very successful and profitable. They have purchased an evapora tor. and are drying and shipping blackberries to Northern market’, where they are worth about fourteen cents per pound. Colonel John A. Henderson, who owns one of the best plantations in Leon county, which is about six miles east of Tall ih&ssee. has put ii about twentv-five acres of rice and is etitl planting. Some of his rice planted in March is free feet high and looking flae. J. C Kinsley, who is ditching on the Colonel’s place, says the rice field is the floest piece f land in Flor ida. It is black muck, four feet deep, with pipe day subsoil. Palatka Herald : "Superintendent Ming, of the Florida Southern, is very active in making impr-t ments.

Those who passed the winter in that State from this count\ have no end of praise of the salu hrity < f the climate and fertility of the soil. The beautiful fresh water lakes that abound so numerously in thst State furnii-h magnifi cent sites f >r residences along their margins. The rigor* of a Northern winter are unknown in that balmy climate." Tallahassee wil* soon be visited by a regular building boom. Tne Floridian says: “The l-arnb House is to be remodeled and made one 4tory higher, which will give it about thirty first -c’ass rooms.

Quite an excitement was created at Palatka afternoon by an at empt made by D puty Sheriff Turner, of Putnam countv. to arrest the negro known as “Walking Davi.” Davis, it seems, had run over and injured a sick man at that place, and ihe citizens of the town had a warrant issued for his arrest. As soon as the Deputy Sheriff attempted to make the arre-t Davi* drew a large knife and announced his intention to resist. The Deputy BherifT struck him several blows over the head. liu' despite his efforts Davis made his escape dome of the negroes of the town evinced a nis position to protect Davis, which resulted in a general quarrel, during which one man was knocked down. Peace was finally restored, however, without any one being seriously in jured Pensacola Commercial: "On Sunday last a somewhat notorious sailor runner named Law son at the bead (fa party of several persons were discovered by Capt.

Tbe Star Honte Trial*—S utt, Caro lina Klectton ton teat*-The Tariff Ccnimlaalon. Washington, June o. —lmmediately after tbe reading of the journal the House went into committee of the whole ( Mr. Robinson, of Massachusetts, in the chair) on the legis lative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, the gereral debate being limited to an hour and a half. Mr. Joyce, of Vermont, confined his re marks to tbe consideration of the pension policy of tbe government, advocating a sys tem of pensioning those men who were disa bled In the military and naval service of the United Btates, and opposing any proposi tion to repeal the arrears of pension act. The bill was read by sections for amend ments, and a long discussion ensued upon the n’oposltlon to equalize the salaries of the House and Senate employes by a reduc tion in the salaries of tlie latter. The proposition was agreed to—G3 to 3. After finishing the consideration of forty of the one hundred pages of the bill, the committee rose. Mr. Robinson, of New Yo-k, presented a peti’ion of Siptlmanta R Me’kteham, ask ing that tbe remains of Thos. Jtfferson be removed from Virginia to Washington for interment, and that a monument be there erected to his memory. Referred. The lIQUs a , at 4:30, took a recess till 7:30 this evening, the session to be for the con sideration of pension bills. EVENING SES3ION. The House, at Its evening session, pvssed twenty-five pension bill*, and then, at 10:35 p. m , adjourned until to-morrow. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. In the Set a’e, bills were Introduced and referred, as follows: By Mr. Jonas of Louisiana—Supplement ary to the acts incorporating the Texas Pa cific Railway Company, and for o’her pur poses, and amendatory thereof. (Identical wt*h the bill Introduced by Representative E ll* on the 5 h inst ) The bill passed providing for tbe settle ment of accounts with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Mr. VanWyek introduced the following resoluion: li/aolved , That in considering the question, will the Senate advise and consent, to the nomination of the persons named bv the President to be members of the Tariff Com miaidon, that rule <36 be suspended so that said question can be consldeied in open ses sion and not with closed doors. Mr. McMillan reserved all points of order on tbe resolution, which wa3 laid over till Monday. The Senate, soon after two o’clock, took up as unfinished business the Japanese in demnity fuud bill. During the debate Mr. Morgan, in charge of the bill, construed an inquiry by Mr. Cockrell as an Insinuation that he was in terested in securing the payment, of money to Japan throuen the hands of third parties. He said that those to whom his character was known understood perfectly well that he was no’ the pimp of any lobby, nor did he allow lobbyists to coin* and whisper in his ear calumnies agaiDSt his colleagues. He would have regarded the inquiry as an insult had he cot. known that the Senator who propc uuded it was indulging a suspic ion that was unworthy of him. Mr. Mor gan then explained that this suspicion had been tongued repeatedly In debate; that he had Inquired into It, and even gone to the Jaoanese Minister to find whether there were any grounds for it, and was satisfied there were none. He bad no doubt that lobbyists bad been at work, but he charged that they were those who bad determined hat none of the mousy should be paid to Japan unless they bad a baud In It, and unless riders were pul upon the bill. Mr. Cockrell disclaimed having Imputed any Impropriety to Mr. Morgan, and ex pressed surprise that that B;n?.tor should become 60 exceedingly sensilive when asked a legitimate and pertinent question. He explained that his inquiry had been based on a statement made to him by a reputable gentleman that an attorney in Washington had been employed by Japan to represent that government in connection with this legislation. He did not complain of this, but if a reputable gentleman had been em ployed, was disposed to regard the bill more favorably on that account. Mr. Morgan said the Charge d’Affatres of the Japanese Government was the only rep resentative of that government of whom be had knowledge in the premises. Mr. Bberman thought that whether attor neys were employed or not was entirely im material. He believed there was no delib erative body In the world freer from lobby irfluenca than the Satiate of tbe U’-lted B’ates, and when ou'slde influences were intruded their effect was almost Invariably to injure the causa thev espoused. He then discussed the merits of the hill, urging that the 6Ub j ct be ultimately disposed of in some posi tive manner. After further remarks by Messrs. Maxey, Bayard and Windom, the bill was laid asble without action, and the Benafe, at 4:330, after a short executive session, adjourned until Monday. MEXICAN AND INDIAN INVASION CLAIMS. The Senate yesterday passed the bill for an examination upon all the claims of the States of Texas. Oregon and Nevada, and Washington and Idaho Territories for money < xpended and Indebtedness as sumed by them in repelling invasions and suppressing Indian hostilities, af er an earnest speech in its advocacy by •Mr. Maxey, of the Military Com mittee, from which it was reported. He made the point that these States, failing to receive that protection which they relied upon from the govern ment, had expended their own means in self-defense. They now ask for the audit ing of these expenditures prepara ory to their ultimate payment. He also advocated an amendment offered by Mr. Coke, tx end ing the bill to cover the expenses incurred by reason of Mexican raids, which, after a speech by Mr. Coke, prevailed. THE REMAINING ELECTION CONTESTS. The sub-committee of the House Com mittee on E'ections, having In charge the South Carolina contested election case of Smalls against Tillman, has decided that Tillman, the sitting member, was not elect ed Tbe status of Smalls’ claim has not yet ben fully determined. The sub committee expect to report this ease to the full com mittee at the regular meeting on Tuesday next. The concluding arguments in the South Carolina contested election case of Lie against Richardson will be heard by the second sub-committee to-morrow. On Monday next the first sub committee will hear tbe final arguments In the Alabama contest of Strobach against Herbert.

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JUNE 10, 1882. FLASHES FROM ATLANTA. Senator Hill's Return—A .Tteutcfnl Aiatmblage—A Test Case. Atlanta, June 9 —About fifteen hundred people assembled at the depolpat noon to day to meet Senator Hill. In addition to his son, Charles D. Hill, and his son-in law, Dr. Ridley, and Edgar Thompson, were many city and State officials and dis tinguished citizens present. Sena’or Hill was accompanied by his son, B. H. Hill, Jr . and bis wife, and to the spectators was a mere wreck of his former self. His face and neck were In bandages, and his features showed signs of long and severe suffering. He simply bowed, and shook hands with a few friends from the carriage window, but spoke no word of greeting. The crowd stood with uncovered and bowed heads, silent and tearful, as the carriage slowly moved away to the suffer ing Senator's home. All along the route the same silett and tearful homage was paid him Mr. Hill was visibly affected, while his devoted wife, with her face hid in herhand kerchlef, wept freely. It is seldom that such a sad scene is witnessed anywhere, or a more tender and i rofound tribute of respect and sympa’hy paid to a public ser vant. There seemed to ba but one feeling pervading the vast crdSrd present—that Senator Hill had come home to dte among his own people. Hinman, who refused to allow his family to be vaccinated, was fined five dollars for each refusal In the Recorder’s Court, but this mornlrg gave notice of an appeal, as a test case, to the Superior Court. EGYPT. The Latest Phase of the Sliuail n. London, June 9 Times' correspond ent at Cairo, commenting on current sur in'sjs as to the personal danger of the Khe dive, says: “ Every day we hear of the dis appearance of the humbler enemies of Arabi Bey, and of atrocities which recall the In quisition. Unless the Khedive can be in duced to go to Alexandria, Europe may have to deplore a crime for which England and France will be considered responsible.” A correspondent of the Times at Con stantinople telegraphs that in consequence of recent threats of the milttary party against tbe Khedive, Lord Duff.-rin, tbe British Ambassador, suggested to Said Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs, that De’-visch Pasha be instructed to at once take measures to secure the safety of the Khe dive. Cairo, June 9 —All the Consuls General separately visited Dervisch Pasha to-dav, exerpt the representatives of England and France, who called upon him together. Dervisch Pasha said he hoped to succeed In arranging the present difficulties, Dervisch Pasha gave an audience to-day to the prin cipal Egyptian officers, aud afterwards to tbe President of the Chamber of Notables and t' e greater portion of that body, also to Sultan Pasha. He declared that he was resolved to restore ord- r, and that If neces sary to that end he would himself assume the Ministry of War. The military party attempted to establish a sort of espionage over Dervisch Pasha, but he has managed so as to tffectually prevent the carrying out of their designs. LYNCHED ON A LADDER. A Boy Ulardercr Hanged in ITlinne ■ota. Perham, Minn., June 9 —John Trlbbetts. the boy who murdered Washington and Fehrbaeh a few days since, was brought here yesterday and examined before a Jus tice. Towards night the propriety of lynch ing him was freely discussed, but no decis ion was arrived at. About one o’clc ck this morning twenty resolute men broke into the jail and with great difficulty broke open his cell and seized him, the terrified boy saying, ‘‘Don’t, boys! this is too rough.” The lynchers carried him to the railroad track, a few rods away, rested a ladder against a telegraph pole, looped one end of a rope around his neck, and throwing It over a round of the ladder, hoisted away. He was dead in a few moments. The lynchers kept tbe crowd buk with drawn revolvers, and as soon as their work was done, scattered in all dlrec’lons.

The District Conlerence-The Rail road to Tliomaivlle-Track Farm ing- Ttio Weather and the Crop*. Tallahassee, June 7 .—Editor Momino News: The Tallahassee District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which met in this place on the 31st ult., after a harmonious session of three days, adjourned on the 3d inst. This district comprises all that territory lyrng between the Apalachicola and Auciila rivers, embracing the counties of Gadsden, Liberty, Leon, Wakulla and Jefferson, and a portion of Franklin. There were present thirty five members fourteen clerical and twenty-one lay delegates. In the district there are twelve pastoral charge’, with a membership of nineteen hundred and forty-nine. The value of church property amount* to $29,960, while there was paid out during the past year for the snpport of minis ters, including missions, $5,512 56. From day to day reports were called for from the various charges, as to the state of the church, number of Bunday schools, finance and temperance. Nearly th 9 entire session of Friday was de voted to the topic of Sunday schools.' The Committee on Temperance reported resolutions in favor of legislation (State) against the sale of intoxicating liquors This caused quite an animated debate, for while the conference seemed to b a unanimous in favor of the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating liquors, yet a few were under the impression that the wording of one of the resolutions was of a political cast, and ca'culated to commit the church they repre sented on what might prove a political issue. This, however, was disclaimed by the commit tee, and the entire report was adopted. The lay delegates elected to the Annual Conference were G. W Taylor, Jesse Wood, J. A. Cromartie and J. T. Bernard; alter nates, T. R. Canty, D. W. Bryan and John Grambling. The next District Confer ence is to be held a year hence at Miccosukie, Leon county. On yeste-day the engineers or the Thomas - vill->,Tallahassee and Gulf Railroad commenced their preliminary survey. After several ex perimental lines are run the route wiH be finally located and a plot filed in the proper office. This looks like business This com p >ny has hardly organized before it puts Its surveyors in the field. I hope in a few weeks to announce the definite loca tion of this (to us) important road Accounts of the work on the lines of the Pensacola and Atlantic Road that is to con nect Tallahassee with Pensacola, are favorable. Anew engine with a construction train.p ssed up the Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad some time since, were transported across the Chattahoochee river, and now for the first time the whistle of the locomotive is heard in Jackson county, wli**re track laying is rapidly going on. Notwithstanding there will be three miles of trestle at one point, and a costly bridge to be constructed at Chattah o chee, another across the Chipoia and other streams, vet so vigorously is this great work prosecuted, that many of its friends anticipate l's completion by the Ist of September next Such, however, is 'he magnitude of the under taking, that I cannot see how it can well be completed before the Ist of January next. Were there no streams nor marshes to cross, the work would proceed much more rapidly, but tre- tling and bridge building are expensive and tedious operations. The comp'etion of this road will assist m terially in bringing into market and developing the thousands of acres of fine timbered lands west of Chattahoochee, avai'able either for lumber or agricultural pur poses. The country lying between the Chatta hoochee and Chpola rivers boasts of some of the richest lan is in the State, end it* denizens may well rejoice at the prospect of convenient access to market, of a daily mail, and a rapid and cheap transit. In coming to the capita', it will no longer be necessary for a Pensacola resident to run up in Alabama, into Georgia, and after a circuitous route of several days, reach his destination ; but soon he can reach here in a few short hours The thousands of acres of United States lands, too, will find purchasers. Heretofore the United State* Land Office of Gainesville has made very few sales in West Florida But soon tbe relocation of the land office at this point will be a necessity Before the late war there were four of these offices in the State, to-wit: at Tallahassee, Newnanville (Alachua county), St. Augustine, and Tampa Subsequently they were all consolidated into one at this place, and afterwards this one land office was removed to Gainesville. The con solidation of these four offices into one was a great mistake, as, owing to the rapid settle ment of the country, it was impossible for tr.e limited clerical force to keep up wir,h the work. I have been assured by the Commissioner of the General Land Office t hat, so heavy was the work of the '-ainesville office, that they were always three weeks behind. It is an utter impossibility fo-them to answer promptly the numerous let ters received,as I can testify to from experience. For this reason the Commissioner favors the establishment of a land office here, which is provided for by act of Congress, and has nev er been repealed. Why a pressure hag not been brought to bear on the department to do this act of justice to this section is a mystery. The department professes to favor it. and it is earnestly hoped that our Senators and immedi ate Representative will push the matter,as a pe tition has been filed askingforthe relocation of the United States Land Office at this point. No act of Congress is necessary, but simply the proclamation of the President making the necessary order. It is certainly a great incon venience to a purchaser living in the vicinity of Pensacola to go to Gainesville, and to the poor man who may wish to avail himself of entering his one hundred and sixty acres or less, under the homestead act, or purchase his forty acres —it is simply impossible. If the clerks at Gainesville cannot keep up with their work now, it will be worse when the Pensacola and Atlantic Road is cimpleted, and the United States lands find purchasers and settlers. In consequence of the success of truck farm ing, as well as the near prospect of other and more direct communication with the great marts of the Bast. West and Northwest,’ real estate has appreciated, and transfers are more frequent than in former years. As compared with this time last year, the Clerk of the Cir cuit Court for this county informs me that, during the past three months, he has recorded three times as many deeds of conveyance as he did during the same time last year. Indeed, there seems to be a perfect boom in real estate in and around the city. Parties who never before invested in real estate. but were content with bonds and other like securities, are now seeking investments in city lots and lands lying near the city. Formerly tbe office of County Sur veyor had little or no emoluments attached to it, as that worthy official wes but seldom called upon But now the shrewd purchaser must know definitely the metes and bounds of his proposed purchase, and our worlhy official's services are in frequent requisition, both in the city and country. Tallahassee is once more looking up, and though, from her peculiar position, sue will never be the Queen City of the Land of Flowers as to size, yet her borders will soon be enlarged, and her population be proportionally inc eased. It would B<-em that Vennor has probably made a right guess about the weather this sea son, though f-w believed this modern Cassan dra. So far we have had but little hot weather and as we had a dry summer, fall and spring, it is more than probable we will have a cool, wet summer. Reports from the surrounding coun try all agree as to the good condition of the crops, ana our planters are already felicitating themselves at the proppset of an abundant yield. The corn crop may be considered as safe, but if we have a long wet spell the cot ton must necessarily suffer. Leon. Tbe Week In Mincing Lane. London, June 9—ln Mincing Lane there has been some Increase In the demand for consumption, but the large supply of pro duce operates against an improvement in the market generally. Coffee was Irregular, Sugar was quiet. Tea was depressed. Rice was unchanged. Peppsr was firm. Spices were quiet. The North Carolina Political Trial*. Raleigh, N.

Mackey’s Cream Colored Wife—Tbe Georgia Jadgenblp-Florlda Indian War Claims—The Star Route Jury, Washington, June B. —There is an anomaly in the Treasury Department. It is in the per son of John C. New. the First Assistant Secre tary. None of the more important offices of any of the departments have a very great amount of work ent iled upon the occupants thereof. The office now held by New has been an exception to this general rule in the past- The Secretary has generally thrown much of the executive work of the department upon his First Assistant; that official has conse quently generally been a pretty busy man. Not so with New He would like to be a busy man, but is not given the opportunity by Sec retary Folger. Folger did not want New to be given the place. His first choice was a Demo crat of Geneva, New Yorfc, a fellow-townsman of Folger* He could not be given the place. Folger then advocated another man, who did not have much politics in him. Ar thur had to give the place to New, the most un acceptable to Folger of ail the men who had been urged for it. The consequence shows itself in that Folger does not trust any work to New, or confide in him in the least. New sim ply sits on his chiirfrom9a m. until 4 p. m., and draws his salary. He does nothing more He does not Influence the appointment of even a laborer in the department The circum stances which led to New’s appointment show how the civil service i* run. New helped to steal Indiana last fall He thought his eon •picuous efforts in that direction entitled him to a seat in Warfield’* Cabinet. He did not get it. When Arthur came in he made a break to be Minister to Austria which he also failed to get. He then took a tumble, and pushed for the Assistant Secretaryship of the Treasury, which he got solely because he helped to carry Indiana by the use of much big money It is no wonder that Secretary Folger ignores an official appointed as New was and against h ! s expressed pro’est. THIS INDIAN WAR CLAIM OF FLORIDA. Secretary of War Lineo’n ha* just sent to the House of Representatives a report in regard to •he claim of Florida for tbe suppression of Indian hostilities between the years 1855 and 1860 The report says: "From data afforded by the records of the War Department and executive pub icatlons of the Btate of Florida, the history of the aff-irs that caused the expenditures set forth in the claim now under consideration appears as follows: “Military operations in Florida during the year* 1855. 1856 and 1857 extended over an area of 27,400 square miles, and were against ninety eight hostile warriors. The forces engaged were as follows: “1. Regular troops numbered 840 in 1855: 866 for first nine months of 1856; 1,756 from Octo ber 1, 1856, to September 1, 1857; and 339 for the remaining four months of 1857. "2. Volunteers called oqk and mustered into the service of the United States (none in 1855), 321 in 1856; 1,164 in 1857 “3 Militia forces called out by the c tate au thorities for short periods of service between December 1, 1855 and January, 1857. "December 7, 1655. Lieutenant Hartsuff of the Second Artillery, with two non-commis sioned officers and eight private*, left Fort Myers, Florida, to reconnoiter the Hig Cypress swamp and its neighborhood. During the pre vious winter he had repeatedly passed alone, or with an escort of one man, over the very same ground, and the Indians had given no ev idence of a hostile disposition Between the date of its departure from Fort Myers and tbe 20th of the same month Lieutenant Ha’t'uff's party visited manv places which had been oc cupied by Indians in previous years, and from signs of abandonment discovered ‘came to the conclusion that the Indians had left the coun try. with the exception of a few stragglers, and had gone probably to the seaboard ’ On the last named date, when encamped about three m'iss north of Billy’s Town, on an island covered with dwarf palmettos, and before breakfast, whilst preparing for a march, was attacked by a party of Indians whose number was estimated to be from twentv-five to fifty. The Lieutenant and three of his men were wounded, four men were killed, and three men escaped. "Indian hostilities prior to and at the time above specified were anticipated by the State authorities. "Immediately succeeding the surprise and defeat of Lieut. Hartsuff much uneasiness was exhibited among the frontier settlements. The Governor of the State, Federal military officers, officials connected with the Indian •ervice, and the United States Postmasters, as well as the citizens whose lives and property were in danger, seem to have unitedly suggest ed the employment of voiun’eer trooDS and the forcible removal or destruction of the Indians These facts are shown in the volum inous correspondence then had upon the sub ject. some of which accompanies this report. “On January 3, 1856, the Secretary of War wrote to Captain Casey, of the army, then on Indian sendee in Florida: “ ‘The occurrence of actual hostilities com menced by the Beminole Indians suspends all instructions heretofore given with a view to effect the peaceable removal of those Indians.’ “On the 7th, following, he authorized the employment in United States service of five companies of volunteers. Under this authority four companies were received into the United States service—two on February 18th. one on March Ist, and one on March 10th, 1856; end from the time last mentioned until May, 1858, some four or five companies of volunteers were centinued in the said service, and were paid and supplied as were regular troops. "Before the organizations were received into the United States se- vice, however, they, with o’her bodies of men. had been accepted by the Governor, and had been actively employed as militia companies in the service of the State. “Of some of these organizations the depart ment commander. Colonel Munroe, wrote to the Governor, January 12,1856. that— “ ’The State volunteers, under Captains Ken drick and Johnston and Lieutenant Kendrick, performed their thirty days' service south of the Caloisahatchee and in the Everglades, with much credit to themselves; and thev have been spoken off by the United States officers with whom they were associated on their tour in the most favorable manner ’ ‘Tins communication of January 12, 1656, seems to be first recognition had through any United States official of services rendered by the militia after the surprise in December, 1855 The companies above mentioned as those of Captains Kendrick and Johnston and Lieut. Kendrick were in the militia service of the State at the time, and did not become United States Volunteers until a later period ” Taking all matters into consideration the re port finds 'hat Florida should be paid $>24,- 648 0* for her aid in suppressing the Indian outbreaks. This amount is less by $54 985 58 than that of the claims as pubrnitted by the State. Of the amount recommended $11,:116 91 is for payment of troop* for service ii 1849, and $6,270 57 for the payment of two compa nies in cases where both muster and pay rolls are missing. THE STAR ROUTE JURY, The officers under the Attorney General are conducting an inquiry into the organization of the present jury. There is one man on the jury named Murray, who, it is charged, was gotten on it by carelessness or bribery. He seems to have been in with the star route thieves in the past. The way he got on the jury was thus: When ten men of the jury had been chosen, the Us’of talesmen had been exhausted. The Judge ordered four new men to be br ught in. Among them was Murray. He was summoned by a bailiff. He was accepted Now it is charged that it was bribery that induced the man to be summoned as a talesman. It may be that suoh was the case, but it hardly seems probable. The four men had to be summonod right away, as the court was waiting for them. The Marshal and his officer* say thev pounced upon the first four men they coulfl find in order not to keep the court waiting Whether there was bribery or not, it is certain that if the court had adjourned over to allow proper men to be summoned as talesmen Murray would not have been summoned, and consequently could not have been accepted by the court. THE JUDGESHIP. Tbe city is full of Georgia Republicans. All the prominent Republicans from the State are here, and chiefly about new offices created by the bill dividing the State into two judicial districts. Things have changed a little. Mr. Atkins is not the leadirg horse now for the new Judgeship. He issiili in the fight, but it would appear cannot win. Judge McCay's friends say that he will get the place Ido not think be will. Atkins has not withdrawn yet; when he does Bigby. the present Distr c- At torney at Atlanta, will lead the race R would seem to be more than likely that if Atkfns fails—which is very likely now—Bigby will be the new Judge. It Is hard on a man to be so near tha goal and then get left. The nominr tion of Atkins to the place was made out some time ago in the Attorney General’s office for signature by the President and transmission to the Senate. A COLORED LADV, There has been for tha pse week a lady con spicuous in ihe galleries of the House and Senatp. She i* always handsomely dressed and in the highest kind of style, end gossesses beauty of face gnj agu're he attracted more notice than u*uai for the reason that she showed to people who know the beauties of the races that she was the least bit colored. The interest in this lady has been heightened by the information which has gone around that it is the wife of Representative Mackey, of South Carolina, who was recently seated by the arbitrary Re publican majority in the place of Mr. Dibble, duly and legally elected. A PROyOSBi, NEW LIGHTHOUSE. Representative Davidson, of Florida, has just introduced in the House a bill to appro priate S4OO for the erection pf a lighthouse on Dog Island, ip Franklin county, Florida.

We propose from time to time to publish the various ~i plies re ceived from the editors of this State as a matter of interest to our readers until the series is finish r d. The first we pub lish is from Mr. Joseph Tillman, editor of the Waycross Reporter. Said he • There is no division in the ranks of the Democratic party in this district, no lack of harmony, no reason (for the pres ent) that there should be, that I know of, The differences that existed two years ago do not exist now. Then it was the opposition to Governor Colquitt, and not, as was supposed, to the Democratic party. The efforts of the Kepubli can party, backed by the present administration, to defeat and destroy the Democratic party in this State will most undoubtedly have the effect to unite and cement the party more indissolubly than, perhaps, any other one thing. Further on, when the campaign opens fairly, there may be brought to the surface of the political horoscope signs of disintegration of which there is no appearance now, but I do not think so. Local or State issues will not be of such magnitude in the coming campaign as to effect any impor tant cnange in the Democratic party; being advised in advance of the efforts to destroy the party will cause the lead ers to move cautiously and harmoniously. In this connection 1 will say; If there should be inaugurated a movement for a grand national Union party, composed of the best elements of the North and South, who would have for their purposes and aims the honest administration and perpetuity of our beloved republic, then the people would go in solid phalanx,rank and file, for such a party or move. But, as be tween the two present existing national parties, as they now exist, there can never be any affiliation or coming to gether. The very elements that surround them in the two sections, North snd South, forbid them to be other than they are at prese it. It is easy to determine why the majority of fhe better classes North are Republicans and vice versa for tbe South. There can be no successful new party movement inaugurated in the South, especially in Georgia, unless there should arise a good and sufficient cause for a division of sentiment, which cer tainly does not exist at this time except in the frenzied brain of the disappointed would-be party leader, or, rather, lucra tive (?) office holder. They see through magnifying glasses very clearly how it is that men who are elected to positions of “honor and trust”—upon scant salaries —soon grow opulent—become million aires and great men by virtue of their wealth —hence their longings for the flesh pots where they can get their arms well in and become great as others have done. So much for your first question. We of the South have seen noth ing to commend, but much to condemn, in the administration of Mr. Arthur. We look upon him as a vile partisan—a man who would consider nothing too low for him to be guilty of in the subservience of his party purposes; a man who has not yet shown one single patriotic emo tion; a man, like Grant, whose ambi tion greatly exceeds his patriotism ar and love for our common country, but would, if he could, change its fundamental or primary principles to serve his own selfish ends, even for the short time he has to live. So much for Mr. Arthur. I now come to your third question, viz: “Is there in your neighborhood any decided expression of opinion in regard to the tariff? If so, what is its extent, and nature?” This is a question of which much might be said. The old Democratic doctrine of “free trade and sailors’ rights” does not govern now as in the days of yore. The sensible peo ple of the South are realizing that it is only a question of a short while till we are to become a manufacturing commu nity, propelled by foreign and Northern capital if needs be. The benefits to be derived by a reasonably high protective tariff will be as great, and per haps greater, in its benefits to the South, than the North, for the following potent reasons: First, The cotton fields are here, a favorable cli mate for manufacturing the year round we always have, the saving in transpor tation is a considerable item; that manu facturing will, in the hands of skilled managers, be conducted much more profitably South in the cotton fields, than in the North or Europe there can be no question, and for this latter reason aloDe capital will be abundantly brought and employed here. In the face of these few crude reasons it is not to be wondered at that our people will, when educated to understand the workings of the tariff, become more favorable to its operations than formerly. In fact, we want a tariff both for protection and to raise revenue to carry on the gov ernment. God and nature has given us the advantage we hold over the world, that is, we can do without the aid of the outside world, while they are very greatly dependent upon us. The masses will soon learn to take care of their in terest, no matter what the politicians may advocate. T his is putting the mat ter of the tariff in a purely business point of view. They will favor it be cause it will in turn benefit them. I have hurriediy endeavored to answer your questions according to what I know ami believe to be true. BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY.

Senator Cameron writes to a friend in Washington concerning his alleged tariff ul. erance:“ I did not suppose that there was any man of common sense in Pennsylvania wto would ever believe that i said such a thing,and, therefore, 1 do not think it wor h while to trouble myself about denying It and the utter absurdity of the thing con demns It.” Notwithstanding the continuous ill-suc cess of Mr. Deed, Gulteau’s counsel, In en deavoring to rescue the assassin, he says that he is stiil confident of success.

CAMPBELL Tlirltliiig Scene* at the Burning of the steamboat Me jiltonlln. Toronto Globe. The fire broke out about 1 o’clock p m. Capt. Campbell was sitting at dinner when be heard tbe cry. He immediately ran cut, mounted the hurricane deck, and cried oat to the wheelman, “Hard a-starboard, bard a-starboard. Hun her for the shore.” Tha engineer, Lansrherby, on hearing this ord , immediately jumped down into the englna room, from which the H imes were leaping with terrible fierceness, and let on every available ounce of steam. His escape from destruction is nothing short of miraculous. They were then about two miles from the shore with a large number of passengers, and the fir* crowing fiercer and fiercer every moment. However, in running for the shore thu steamer was headed against the wind, and, as the fire was in tbe after part, it materially aided in keeping the (limes in that quarter. When the fire broke out and the excitement was at its height, several ladies and childrau jumped overboard snd perished. The cr'.aa of excitement and general wall that went up were mast pitiable to hear. Oa a boat bei *g lowered so many rushed into it that ti* front davit broke, letting all those within it into the rushing waters below. It Is n)t known whether all these were saved or not. The flames had by this time enveloped thu after part of the steamer. The passengers were huddled together, trying in vain to gather hope from the ex pression of one another’s countenanc.a. The fi unes were drawing nearer and near tr every moment, driving the crowd forward. The heat became Intense. One after anotb sr sank fainting to the deck, overcome by the hi.at and smoke. One young coupla, but recently married, got separated in thu surging crowd. The husband rusher hith ir anil thither, scarchioe for his lost one, whea, above the roar of the flames, arose a cry which he instantly knew came from her ha sought. She was in the ladies’ cabin, ami he rushed to save her, when, in an instant, the fl uues swept round them, and the de voted pair perished, clasped in each other's arms. The whee!hou*e was now in flames, bur, like John Maynard of old, the wheelmi u stood at his post, the redhot embers dro;t plng around and upon him. The Capt*.a stood near encouraging and directing all with voice and action. The foam Hew from the boat’s bow as she cleft the water like a knife, the flame and smoke rising high to wird heaven, making a most impressive picture. <t ie minute more anil the shore i gained. ‘-Hurrah ! Now, boys, you may go,” shouts the Captain to his brave crew, as the boat touches the beach, and he him self prepared to leave. Just as he reaches the lower deck he sees a little girl rushing into the roaring flames. He reaches to eava her, and just hi lime, but to save himself from slipping uown the sloping deck into flames he grasps an almost red-hot iroa ladder and both are saved. He drops hla charge to those waiting on the beach, and assisting others in the same wav all ara saved from the steamer. UNDERTAKER CASANA ViS’S FAIL URE. One of tbe Men who Counted Lou* t*lana’* Vote for Hayes Knitted by Republican Politics. New York World. Reports from New Orleans announce that “G. Casanave, undertaker, is advertised to be sold out by the Sheriff.” G. Casanava was the unlucky member of the Louisiana Returning Board which counted Tilden out and Hayes in, as while his associates, Wells, Anderson and Kenner, obtained offices ia the New Orleans ou'om house, his reward was merely a $L,400 storekeepership for his brother. The expanses of the defense of the Returning Board, indicted in the Cir cuit Court at N-w Orleans for perjury and fraud, were f5,000, and as his assoc! - ates were insolvent, Casanave’s property was levied on to meet the judgment render ed for tbe fee. On the 7th of August, 18711, be wrote to Mr. Hayes declaring that he waa a poor man ; that, unlike the others, he had received no office from the administration, and that if he were now sold out he would be ruined, adding; “I called on Mr. Sher man yesterday, and he proffered me a con tiibution of SIOO, as the only relief he could offer me, which 1 was compelled to declino out of respect for the great finance minister of our government.” On this letter Casa nave obtained SSOO at the White House, and between Mr. Hayes, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Shellabarger obtained $1,250 more on tb 15th, making up the sum needed to stay ex ecution for awtiile longer. Casanave, who is a colored m m, succeeded to his father’s business in 1867. Tins President and Mr. Conklino. —The intimacy of the President and Mr. Conkling, during the former’s visit to New York, hasled a number of the poli ticians to conclude that their differences have been reconciled. Letters have been received here from well Informed politi cians in New York also taking this view, and saying that the President i9 believed to have been converted to Mr. Conkling’s theory of politics, which has always been that opposition must be crushed and not conciliated.
