The fi ame line to the se:ond lead above the mill is not yet complete, but will be in a very short time. Florida Affairs. The Palatka and St. Augustine Railroad is a certainty. The line has been permanently located and the work of construction will be commenced at once. Work it progressing on both ends of the Jacksonville, Bt. Augustine and Halifax Rail road. Lumber is rapidly accumulating on the Flori da Central and Western dock, and but few ves sels in port to carry it away. The Auditor's books of Leon county show that the entire debt of the county amounts to which comprises the fi*>ating debt of scr.p. stV*&2 and the bonded debt sf 9 6 JO. laborers are wan tel on the Jacksonville and ?t Augustine Railroad. Georgia contractors got the work on the Bain bridge and t'haHahooohe-' Railroad, and. it is reported, will put on Georgia convict labor. Members of the Florida Southern Railroad are now in Furore making such negotiations a* will conduce to pushing their railroad for w .r.i to completion It is proposed to put five hundr-1 miles of road under contract in the near future The s->el track of the Tropical Railroa 1 from OcxU to Wild wo >d is said to be oae of the best new roads ever built in the S*ate. The road be 1 is broad, well ditched, and its grades only thirty feet to the mile. Much h-avy aork was encountered during its construe i in. Kigineers are now in the field locating the r.e iy proj cted road from Hart's road to the Georgia c >r,ne -tion with the Brunswick and Mai-on Road. Icisthe intention of the com pany to push the road to an early eomo'etion Th-y expect to have the cars running through in November. Several vears ago the steamer Alice sunk ner Ric e’s btuff.cn the Apalachicola river, wi*h ix hundred barrels of whisky in her hold. There is talk of snorgtnizUion to search f rit Also, it is p*opo*ed to recover the $-*.,ilo> sunk with the Indian, about twenty five nn rs above Apalachicola. Col. Charles A. Boardman. the Land Com missioner of the Florida Southern Railroad, has recently returned from Boston and the West lie is agitating the question of alineof light-draught steamers between New York, Jacksonville and Palatka He is an active busi ness man. and knows how to get what he wants. The Uni'ed States steamer Ta’lapo r sa has gone to Chester. Pa, to take in tow one section of the rec*ntly constructed dry dock intended for ihe Pensacola N*vy Yard and wiilprccjed with it lo its destination. The other secticn w i.l he towed here by the United Btates steamer Powh -tan. Oae or the oilier of these ships returning, will probably tow the ironclad ( a nomeus to the Gosport Navy Yard for further repairs. The Florida Southern Railroad will shortly build, at Palatka. a inatman’h building to cov er its wharves. The lower rt lor will be simp'y the wti vrf. the upper floor will be devoted to Ui- office* of the company, of which there are many. The Land Irepartiuent of he comp my i* a large one; the Auditor's Department em pi y< ten clerks, and the rtpid extension of the I ne of road mikes the engineering de pvr.ment a bulky one. Toe new building will be about 175 by over 400 feet. Dr. C J. Kenwortny. of Jacksonville, has •ueeeeled in producing dwarf orange trees. He buds any variet' into tne O’.aheite orange, an ! the result is a dwarf orange tree or bush It has the same relation to the stsndard that dwarf [wars and apples do to the standard. Tne fruit is as Urge and flue, the bushes be ir heavy crops, but being and warfs they are set only live feet apart. Dr. K-miworthy’s trees, twenty in number, are less than two years old aud yet thirteen are h-aring, and have on them Jl9 oranges This is a very fine ‘bowing, and since 1.743 may be set on an acre of land, they will, without doubt, prove valuable Another route to Jacksonville is in prospec*. Applicati >n has been made by L. M La nmis, Samu I Thomas and others, of New York, to build a line fro-n Buff alo, a station on the Ma con am Brunswick Railroad, about eigh'eon miles from Brunswick, to Hart's load, bieh connects with the Morida Railroad. Hart’s rosd runs from this point cf connection to Jacksonville This line, when comnlrted. will be known as the East Georgia and Florida H ulroad, and wdl pass through St. Mary's. A charter was granted a 1 mg time ago for a road from St Mary s to Doctortown. but the new hoe will be twenty five miles ghorier. UoL Hart, of l’alatka. and Capt. Joe Smith wiil place a nic ‘ s’eamer. cap able of ac'om mmlAting fifty passengers, on the Indian river in time for the next season’s business. They have been running the steamer M arion 'lie past winter from ft'antord to Lake Poinsett, on the Ho -k I.edge route. They will put on another steamer to run in connection with tne .Marion f oin Fauford to Lake Poinsett, which is but three mil's from Sock Led. e. on the Indian river. 'I his will give almost a daily boat The Indian liver boat will rut! from Rock Ledge north to Titusville, Dummi l s Grove, etc., and s uth to Fort Uapr>n. Jupiter and fniiau •t'er inlet-, and to within live miles of Lake Worth. The Jacksonville Union, in a respmeof the crop prosp. ct thri’U-hotit the Slate, fays: * Tne c >rn crop is fine throughout ihe State; the oat crop is generally good where good rust proof seed was planted, and a failure where comm m seed was used. Uane is very promis ing lh- grfttifi ing fact is apparent that the people are paving greater attention to pro v-iou crops and planting less cotton. Py this - Florida can so n become independf lit of Northern and Western markets, except for her supply of flour. The orange yie’U will not i* so large, t kirg the whole State over. In proporti n to the number cf bearing trees ns it was last year, but as there will J-.e more trees in hearing, the crop will he in excess or that of lost year. Up in a survey of the whole state, the outlook for a prosperom year in every section Is most encouraging.” INDIAN SPRING. The Flrat Train— Fast and Present 4 Boom for (he Town—The Fountain of Health. Indian Springs. June 16. Klitor Mornivij .Vow: With the beginning of the running cf traits to this point on the Macon and Bruns wick extension, the summer season has in gooj earnest b*gun. The first of th-j schedule trains reached here on Men lay last at 11:17 a. m., and since then they hare come erery day, with the adlitim of an excursion train on yesterday. This train brought a special party of excursionists, who, under the auspices of the Social Thalian Club, of Macon, inaugurated the and racing of the sea .>n. The Mclntosh House was ablaze with w fic >me and good cheer when more than ninety repre-ientativ-s of Macon society arrived about eignt o’clock in tbe evening. Ihe danc irg hail was beautifully decorated with calla ii ies, magnolias, white roses ai.d jasmines, which clothed the wal's and pillars in rich and graceful prorurion. Tne "glowl-g fret” cf the dancers chased the “flying hoar*” until past midnight, um the revelers sought their rooms to pre pare for the return trip, which was not many hours away. By seven o’clock th- next morn ing the omnibuse*, hacks and carriages were again called into r* quintion to convey the par ty. by a fifteen minutes’ drive in the cool morning air, to the lo nian Spring depot. This event passed so delightfully that it seemed like a dream, necause interest suceeels interest to rapidly in the events that tne crowding reason is bring ing on this popular resort. Toe old days of looking for the steaming horses that drew the luincetiog coach to our door after a jaolng, tiresome ride cf sixteen miles, are succeeded by the regime which brings the city 'bus wi*h Its fresh horses prancing through our streets And wh tt of the passengers? How can you ask ? The bus rule is a relief to the traveler ou the rail, notwithstanding that it is said that the river scenery along nearly the whole of the mntefrohi Macon is beautiful,picturesque and rver renewing one's interest ia its variety Also. Indian Spring has risen to the dignity of :he occasion, aud on all sides thowj the hand of progress and improvement. Its iner hat.ts have the bustling air of business men while In the appearance if its hotels tbe e is a complete metamorphosis. Tae [.aint brush and hammer have net merely re touched things, but have remodeled and revo lutionized them Its grounds, its walks, its drive*, and In terd every thing give the villare a look of rejuvenescence that is enticing in the extreme. What must be the future of a resort which, having heretofore maintained its place as a favorite de -pue so very, very many drawbacks aud disadvantages now that it is the most se crtsible of any watering place lu the State, re mains to be seen, though one would suppose there should te little doubt on the question. Ihe water—glorious for its virtues aud cares, and m the love of so many benell *icries—is, for the flret time in its history, being intelligently and profession dly handled. Dr* Bryan at-d Whitehead are alive to th situation, and a>e giving it in its feature* of bathing ad drinkicg careful and cjnscieotious study.

The n*-*nery around Indian Spring is diversified and of more than ordinary attractiveness, the c untry being rolling, the forest growth vari ous, and the villejs pleasaut and abounding in streams.

The Internal Hevenne Redaction Rill-Mslwne Scores a Point—Bank Charters Extension lmportant Amendments Senator Brown’s Amendments to tbe River and Harbor Bill. Washington, June 21.—The Speaker being absent this morniDg, the House was called to order by Mr. Burrows, of Michi gan. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, arising to a ques tion of privilege, stated that the bill passed on Monday last “To regulate Immigration,” was not in the shape in which it was intend ed to pass it. The Committee on Commerce had intended to pass a substitute for the original bills, but by mis take the wrong draft had been sent to the Clerk’s desk. On his motion a reso lution was adopted requesting tbe Senate to return the bill to the House. Tbe main difference between the bill as passed and tbe eubni ute Is, that the former charges tbe cost of returning paupers, criminals, etc , to the uit‘on to which they belong, while the la'ter charges it to the steamship com pany bringing them ever. The House resumed consideration of the bill for the erection of a Congressional Li brary tulldiog. After a long debate the bill was p istponed until next December. M-. Robeson, from the Committee on Approp'lattons, reported back the naval appropriation hill, aud it was referred to the committee of the whole. The House taeawint into coramittea of the whole on the bill to reduce internal revenue taxation. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, ex plained the provisions of the bill. The financial condition of tbe government to day presented a epectacle such a* had never before been seen in the world’s history. The bill in question proposed to make a reduction in revenue of not less than $17,000,000, to take effect immediately, and oue of not less than $00,000,000, to take effect May Ist, ISB3 Lari year the government had a surp’ns of $100,000,000. It had then collected s:>o - 000 from a*l sources. This year it would collect over $400,000,000, and its expendi tures had been greatly reduced, lie then compared the tinauclal condition of the government for tbe first six mouths of the present year with its condition for a similar period last year to show that there had been an increase of receipts from each of the three sources of revenue customs, inter nal tsx and miscellaneous sources. A> the . end of the first nine months of 1882 there had been exhibited h reduction in Interest charges fr< m $06,490,000 to $50,863,000, while : n 1881 the government had expended $304,f0 1,000 Ia 18S3 it had expended but $194,000,000 for nine months, and the net surplus, which at the end of ihe first three quarters of last year had been $63,483 000 wa-> at the end of three quar ters of the present year $104,000,000, an increase of $14,000,000 The bill, to which be was presvmg the attention of the HotPC, d‘d not deduct from the revenue much more than one fourth of the increase. The government had $100,000,000 surplus last year, and when tbe revenue should be a at-d bv these $17,000,000 it would have this year $135.000,000 -urplut. Mr. Thompson, of Kentucky, whlls advo ca ing age leral 6yst m of reducilm of taxes, complained of the pending bill be cause if toek ihe tax oil tbe wealthy and did not relieve the poor laoorers iu the slightest degree. It was shaped arid framed wholly in the Interest of bankers aud capi tal ss. Other things were put in merely as a mak'.-shift tc carry it through. After a dtc’arxtlon of his opposition to reducing tbe taxes upon the luxuries of life, he passed on to a discussion and dcnur.cla'ion of 'he existing tariff Mr. Thompson spoke for over an hour, arid elicited a good deal of laughter by his criticism of the civil service of the Republi can party. In conclusion he said that what ever Democrats voted for this bill voted agaii s', the interests of the people, and might as well subscribe themselves as Re public ns from this time on. A large number of amet)dmp,nts were fub mtt ed ad read for nf irmatiop. The amendments off red affact every pro vhion in the bill, either as an ameudmant or a ‘ubs'i.ure. The cummittte finally rose without ac tion. The confererce rpp*rt on the military aesdsmv bill was presented and agreed to. Tne House then ad j rurned. SENATE PROCEEDINGS. It the Senate, Mr. Brown submitted amendments which he intends to offer to the riv r and harbor bill, appropriatings3s,ooo for the Savannab river above Augusta, $35,000 for a navigable channel through Rom ci y marsh, near Savannah, and $40,000 for Brunswick harbor, Georgia. Referred to the Committee on Commerce. Mr. Mahone c.riled up the Sena'e bill for publ'c buildings at Lvnchburg, Washington and Harrisonburg, Virginia. The bill had been amended by the Public Buildings Cim mittee to provide for only one butldiug at Harrisonburg, at a cost of $53,000. Mr. Mahone moved to insert $50,000 for a building at Abingdon. Mr. Cockrell otjecteri to this as an at temp’ to restore the bill in defiance of the committee’s actions. Mr. Morrill, of the committee, said only one building had been recommended be evuse It was not customary for the commit tee to report more than one public building for a State at one session. Mtf.-srs. Mahone aud Johnston occupied some time In advocacy of the amendment. Mr. Vest, of the committee, 6aid that a SIOO,OOO building at I.yucnburg, and one at D ttiville, had already be?n given to Vir ginia. lie thought that State had received her full share. Mr Beck complained that his appeal for a building at L“Xington. Ky , had been re fused by the committee because they bad made some little provision for Louisville. He demanded the yeas an i nays. Mr. Vest said that if the amendment pre vailed he wou’d vot6 in committee for a new building in Kentucky and for one in his own B'ate. Mr. Mabone’s amendment was carried by a vote of yeas 30, nays 21. Three of the members of the Public Buildings Commit tee who responded voted “no..’ The bill then passed. Mr. Morgan called ud his resolution for a committee of Investigation Info labor strikes, their causes aud remedies, the com mittee to sit during vacation, to visit different places, to send for persons and papers, and to examine persons under oath, elc. A dlscus-lon, participated in bv Messrs. Morgan, George, Morrill, lloar, Davis of West Virginia, Garland and Sherman, de veloped a general unanimity of sentiment in favor of the early passage of the resolution. The only diversity of opinion was to the method In which the investigation should be made, whether by a special or standing committee. The resolution was finally referred to the Committee ou Eiucation anti Labor with instructions to report upon It within one week The Senate resumed the consideration of tbe House bill to enable national batiking asscc ations to ixtend their corporate exist ence. The section before the Senate was the one authorizing the issuing of gold cer tificates. The pending amendment, to al low silver certiiicati s as well as new gold c-rtlticat.es to be.coun ei by national banka as part of their lawful reserve, aud to tie used In tetilement of ciearlug house bal ance*-, was adopted without debate. An amendment adopted prohibits the issue of gold certificates whenever the cash of the redemption fund falls below oue hundred million of dollars. An amendment offered bv Mr. Coke and amended by Mr. Pugh was adopted, providing that no national bank shall become a member of any clearing bouse in which silver certificates shall not be received lu settlement of clearing house balances A provision was added forbidding certifi cation of checks in excess of deposits, un der a penalty 0 f $5,000 fine, or five years Im prisonment, or both. Au agreement was en tered in'o that debate on the bill will close at five o’clock to morrow, when voting on the bill and amendments will begin. Mr. Allison submitted a copy of the bill recently reported from the Commerce Com mittee tor the construction of waatts known as the Hennepin canal, which be intends to offer as an Amendment to the river and hir tor bill. After au executive session tbe Senate adjourned. THE PROPOSED MISSISSIPPI LEVEE RAILKOAD > The House Committee on the Pac fie Rail road to day heard an argument ou Repre sentatlve Lynch’s bill to aid in the construe tion of a projected railroid and levee of the Memphis and New Orleans Railroad and Levee Company. This bill is based on a proposition made by the Memphis and New Orleans Railroad and Lsvee Company, incor porated under the laws of Tennessee. Mississippi aud Louisiana, to build and operate a railroad from the city ot Memphis,in Tennessee, by way of Vicksburg to tbe city of New Orleans, in Louisiana, and for this end to build from Higb Land in Tenuame to tbe west bank of the Ohio SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1882. river and along and as near to the west bank of the Mississippi river as is consistent with convenience, permanence and safety a levee upon which to lav its road. It provides that upon the completion of t he line of connected and compact levee alorg tbe route which will protect the country from overflow by the waters of the Mississippi river, and the construction and equipment thereon of a first class standard gauge railway of steel rails, the United States shall pay the semi annual interest accruing for the first five years, and guarantee the payment of In terest to accrue thereafter upon first mortgage bonds, to be Issued by the company to the amount of $50,000 per mile upon that portion of the road built upon said levee, said bonds to mature fifty years after date, and to bear Interest from date, payable seml-anDually, at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, provided that the location of tbe line of the said railroad and levee, and the dimensions thereof, shall be approved by the Mississippi River Commission. Arguments to-day were made by C. P. Huntington, Gen. Thomas Eving and J. Hale Svpher in favor of the passage of the bill. Tney asserted that the butldli g and maintenance of such a levee will diminish the expenditure now required for channel Improvements between Memphis ard Vicksburg, and earnestly Indors'd tbe nreamble of the bill, which states that “the levee will redeem from ove rt iw the great delta between the Yaz ju river and 'he Mississippi, thus removlug an obstruc tion lo commence between the adj tcent States, which are now to a Urge ex cent cut off from direct interior communication by railroad.” THE UNITED KINGDOM Gladstone and Scottish Tenant* Tlie Debate on tbe Repression Bill —Davlti Denounced.

In committee, on clause 11 of tbe repres sion bill in the House of Commons last evening, Mr. Gladstone stated that the government proposed to Introduce words limiting the power of police search at night to occasions when there is reasonable sus picion that a secret society is actually holding a meeting. The Irish membtrs accepted this as a reasonable and important concession. Clause 11 was adopted by a vote of 259 to 45 In the House of Commons to day, Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland, In opposing various limitations to the right, of search, appealed to the members to expe dite the repression bill, Every day, he said, gave the Irish executive fresh teason to regard the position of the country with 3e( p and incieadog anxiety, and added seriously to the responsibility of those who prolonged the dls<uslon. The OM>! says there is every reason to be lieve that Thomas Walsh, who was arrested last Saturday in connection with the seizure of arms and ammunition in Clerkeuwell, will be tried for high treason.

Washington, June 21.—The Navy De partment to-day received by mall the re port of Lieutenant Berry upon the burning of the Arctic search steamer Rodgers.

OUR JACKSONVILLE LETTER. Biebee on the Defense—How Jinny White Voice He Gets—Tli General Color of His Audiences—Hl* Un popularity and the Cause—Demo crats Would Rather Fight Bubee than Any O.her Radical—Bose Blebec—First aud Second Districts —Davidson and Finley—Crop Re ports General Littivfield— Billy Hicks—Here and There. Jacksonville, Fla., June 20.—50 hot and heavv an attack has already been made on Colonel Bisbee, the champion Congressional contestant, that he has found it necessary thus early to prepare a defense, which ap peared last week in the Times ot this city. St. Paul Bisbee commences his epistle by casting some of his venom at the Bourbon edi tors, and in his usual pleasant manner stigma tizing them as babblers and simpletons. It must first be understood that the party to which Colonel Bisbee belongs has not a single organ In the entire district, and that with the exception cf two or three Independent papers, the entire press have already assumed against him an attitude of positive and determined hostility. Never, even in his best estate, having won the respect of the people cf Florida, he has. by his recent course, conceD. trated upon himself their open and expressed contempt and odium. Of the 86,(00 votes in this district, Mr. Bisbee may, by a liberal estimate, claim 1.000 from tbe Caucasian race. The rest of his votes come from the most ignorant class c f the nt-groes, the majority of whom can neither read nor write, and have not sufficient intelligence to know, alter voting for him, whether they have expressed a preference for him as Governor or member of congress. The “Bourbon” editors will accept the taunt of Coi. Bisbee, as to their ignorance and stupidi ty, and expect to repay it during the campaign with ten fold interest. They and their speakers have greatly the advantage of him in this re spect, that they can always address themselves to whites, while Col. Bisbee’s harangues are delivered to Ethiopians. He has himself to thank for the position in which he stands to the white people of Florida. From the time he first placed his feet on its soil he has been a bitter and relentless pers - cutor of the Southerners. During his official career, he neglected no opportunity of show ing his malice. Austere and cold, and intense ly selfish, he is altogether destirute of pe sonal magnetism, and is entirely without those quali ties by which meu are attracted to each other. His friends he can number by units—his ene mies by hundreds. In his own party he is regarded as an incu bus, as a load grievous to bear, and yet diffi cult to get rid of, and many, even of those who voted for him two years ago,sincerely regret his success in the lace contest, as they had secretly cherished the hope that a failure would have had the effect of causing him to fold his tent and steal away silently and permanently. Col. Bisbee prates flippantly of persons of foreign birth voting against him, when he is. in his own person, a greater alien and foreigner than any of those to whom he alludes. Ir is a well known fact tbat not a member of his family has resided in Florida in six or more years, that they have not been within the Htate during that period, and that it is a subject of much comment and great wonder by what legal right he claims to repiesent Florida. His renominatiou will be the opening gun of au active and aggressive campaign. It can never be otherwise so long as he is a candiiate. His name at the head of ihe Republican ticket, at once crystallizes all of the fiercest elements of opposition, and brings out the last voter in the ranks of the Democrats. No man in the State is more generally and cordially disliked. He talks glibly of an honest election aud fair count, and has much to say of the purity of the ballot. Those who know Col. Bisbee, when they hear these stereotyped expressions fall from his Ups, stick their tongues in their cheeks, and indulge in an audible chuckle. He is quite as great a hypocrite p ditically. as is his friend and admirer, Rev. (?) Billy Hicks, religiously. if the Vepublican party in this State could throw off such excrescences as Col. Bisbee, and a few others of the same character, cam- P' Igns would lose much of their rancor and bitterness, and there would be far less of per sonal ili-feeliug. But this man has done so much to irritate, annoy and persecute the whites, when in the insolent hey-day of his power, that the very sight of him evokes the recollections of numerous wrongs and out rages. He is, perhaps for this very reason, the best candidate for the Democrats, as a won derful unanimity prevails among them when ever he is in the field. They oppose him as instinctively as they will attempt to kill a rat tl-snake. As Don Cameron is boss of the stalwarts in IVnnsv Ivania, so Colonel Bisbee bosses his white and negro troops in Flori a. His white legionaries fear him, while his dollars have a potent influence over his negro followei s. A thousand or two judiciously invested will se cure him the nomination he covets, and it is generally conceded that his money will win at tne approaching Republican Convention. The Bourbon editors and the Bourbon speakers prom se to make it very lively for Mr. Bisbee when he is fairly set up as a target i he general sentiment of the Democrats in this district, so far as can be judged from their papers, is in favor of the renomination of Gen Finley, and there is now a strong probability that there will, be no real opposition to this movement. In the First district the chances of Colonel Davidson appear to be growing and gaining strength daily, and it looks now as if he would be his own successor. He is an able and effi cient public servant, and has given very gen eral satisfaction While the people of Georgia are luxuriating in cheap ana fine peaches, and thousands of bushels are rotting in the orchards, our mar ket is bare of the fruit, and few of us will enjoy that delicious compound, milk and peaches. Why do not some of your planters divert some of their surplus crop in this direc tion ar and gratify a great want? There has been an utter failure in this crop, and we would willingly exchange oranges for peaches. Mel ons are cheap and abundant, but inferior in flavor to the ordinary average of this fruit. Considerable portions of vacant lands on the suburbs have recently been purchased and run off into lots, streets, etc., and offered at auc tion. r J he prices brought were very satisfac tory and show a steady increase in the value of real estate. Indeed one can’t go wrong now to put his spare change in Florida lands. They are going up in all sections of the Btate, and markedly so in those sections whete transpor tation facilities are or will be afforded. The day of cheap lands has gone in Florida, and tbe growth of the State and greed of specula tors will not suffer prices to decline. The Union this morning contained crop re ports from eleven counties, which are gratify ing. These come from all portions of the State, and are generally of the same import. Corn, cane and cotton are all good a fine crop of oats has been harvested, and if no untoward injury occurs during the summer, Florida will be iu fine condition financially this winter. Oranges along the river do not promise a heavy yield, although the deficiency in the old groves may be compensated by the coming into bear ing of young trees. General M. S. Littlefield is again in the olty on important busiiess His brother, Calvin Littlefield, of New Jersey, has brought suit in the United States Circuit Court for this dis trict against the trustees of the Internal Im provement Fund for the payment of certain bonds of th * Pensacola aud Georgia and the Central Railroads, amounting to sf(is,ooo. The suit will come up for hearing during the pres ent term, which commenced yesterday, 'i hese bonds are said to be a portion of the $4 000,0 0 issued by the Jacksonville, Pensacola aql Mo bile Railroad and turned over to the State, which issued the same amount, holding these as collateral. They were disposed of in Ger many and in this country. Ex-Attorney Gen eral McVeagh will appear in behalf of Sir Ed ward Reed, one of the defendants I am inclined to think that Billy Hicks will make a good thing out of his connection with Guiteau. Aside from the notoriety that the affair now gives him, and the eclat he will ae ?iuire should he pluck his cheit like a brand rom the fire, he oan gather enough material from his daily interviews with the wretch to afford the basis for a half dozen absorbing lec tures. Billy hasn't had such a chance for im mortality iu a long time, and he is shrewd enough to make the most of his advantages. Billy will get up a tip-top prayer for the rnel anenoiy occasion, and the scaffold should be made double the usual size to allow Billy ample room to spread himself. Paiatka is to have a celebration on the com ing fourth of July, and offers a tempting pro gramme of amusement. The old fashioned schedule, reading the Declaration, and the oration, followed by the dinner and toasts, has been voted too slow, and there is anew order of the day. Jacksonville will not honor the day in any manner. It has been hot enough for the past few days, and many who are unable to go North are seeking Fernandina, bt. Augustine, Mayport and Green Cove Springs. The quantity of heavy freight for the up river has necessitated the construction of sub stantial and commodious barges, which take up lumber, brick and building material in tow of steamers. This mode of transportation promises to become popular and convenient. (Juite a number of our Jacksonville young lames have distinguished themselves at the recent commencements throughout the coun try. The woods of South Florida are still filled with prospector*, provided with a compass and surveyor’s chain, on the lookout for any de sirable vacant lands. Some of these are actual settlers—some speculators. W. H. B American Pork In prance. Pabjs, June 31.—The Senate has com menced the discussion of the bill for read mission to Prance of American pork. Baron Delarclnty charged the supporters of the bill with being disregardful of the health of the working classes. M Wurt*, the reporter of the committee, stated that the formalities now In force were 60 vexatious that com merce would prefer entire prohibition of the trade. M. Tlrard, Minister of Com merce, said the government accepted the bill as it then stood, reserving, however, the right to apply microscopic inspection if ne cessary. fhe clauses of the bill will be dis cussed on Thursday.

Defect* of the Anti-Polygamy B II The Penalon swindle—A German Orator In tbe Honse —Arthur and Cameron Scared. Washington, June 80.—There has been intro duced in the House and Senate during the ses sion so far 8.982 bills and joint resolutions. This is a fair specimen of the extent of the Congressional mausoleum. But very few of these bills and joint resolutions have become laws. But this does not deter the introduction of schemes even at this late day of the session They come in at every opportunity. These are much smaller in number each time that the opportunity for getting them iu comes up, but it is evident that the supply is inexhausti ble. Congress might remain in continuous session for fifty years and the supply of bills would not even then be exhausted. in congress. The Independent Republican element, which is opposed to bossism and consequently to President Arthur, has for the first time openly shown itself on the floor of Congress Repre sentative Tom Bayne, of Pennsylvania, was the m&u who made the demonstration. Bayne is a very good man and an active Representa tive. He is an anti-Cameron man, which, after the introduction I have made, goes without saying. He attacked the bill limiting the term of Collectors of Internal Revenue to fouryeats as one to build up the stalwarts, and princi pally President Arthur, by giving him more patronage. At present the term of a Cohector of Internal Revenue is indefinite during good behavior. Bayne properly characte- zea the proposed limitation of the term to four years, when he said it was simply to give Arthnr further power. He attacked the administration as an administra tion ot spoils to the favorites and without re gard to the party as a unit. Somebody asked him derisively duriog his speech if he were tha mouthpiece of the administration. He repl ed; “I am not, thank God!” Biyne. be it re peated, is one of the Republican independents. He talks for many people in his State. The fact that a Republican upon the fiozr of the House has attacked the President of the stal warts and bossism is a sign politically for good, and one in which Democrats can take some comfort to themselves OUENTHKR’B DIALECT Representative Guenther, of Wisconsin, is German, as his name would indicate. He is a good member of the H iu<e, and only on the most rare cases makes a speech. Perhaps his value may lie in the extreme paucity of his remarks. But when Guenther does make a speech he attracts attention. He is a small man, and has a small voice. His attraction is the rich German dialect. It is with difficulty that he can be understood. He talks so very German that to follow h m you have to be near, accustomed to the dialect Of the newly arrived German immigrant, and very attentive. Guenther made a speech yesterday, and was surrounded very soon after he started out by a crowd of listening members. He has not been much longei in the country than to be natural z *d. It was but appropriate that his speech should have been in behalf of the newly arrived im migrant at Castle Garden, New Y’ork. There was nothing funny about the speech, but it was very suggestive of “the institutions” of the United States, and could not but suggest the thought that manv of the newly arrived immi grants in whose behalf Mr. Guenther spoke may follow him, and in a few short years be talking broken Eqglish on the floor of the National Legislature. THE MORMON QUESTION. The gentlemen who have been selected as members of the Mormon Commission have been studying up the anti-polygamy bill. The best informed men of them see defects of that bill and are already making efforts to have them corrected. In fact, the bill as at present does not amount to near as much as is generally thought. For instance, it may be stated generally that while the bill directs the doing of a number of things no provision for carrying out what is enacted is made. Again, there is no provision made for the payment of the members of the commission. Nou may easily imagine that the lack of such provision is considered of vital importance by the mem hers of the commission, aud then while the bill declares certain offices now held by Mor mons as no longer to be held by them there is nothing enacted as to how these necesstrv offices—they are election offices—are to be filled. An attempt to remedy the deficiencies of the anti polygamy bill will be made before the session closes. As these deficiencies are so very glaring as to seriously interfere with the intention of the bill, the attempt will probably prove successful. HOW THE PiNSION BILL WENT THROUGH. The annual pension bill has been put through the Hou-e, and put through, too, without any delay or any debate. It was whip j'd through and men set there and saw s9?,uot>,ooo of the public funds—an amount greater than the ag gregate of all the other appropriation bills— appropriated to pay the pensioners of the gov ernment for one year; and it does not include the payment of any pension other than th se which grew and are still growing out of the late war. Next year Congress will be called upon to appropriate an additional couple of millions for this same purpose, and at the same time Congress is almost every day enlarging this pension list, and pension agents are work ing up new classes of people—army Durses for instance—and calling upon the government to grant them pensions. Perhaps at some tim there will be called a halt in this plundering of the Treasury, but it is very doubtful the way things look now. A SAVANNAH BRIDAL COUPLE. Capt. E.

Augusta, Ga., Jme 19. — Haring left Darien on Wednesday, 14th. at the early Tiour of 2 o’clock in the morning, instead of at 8 p m on the 13th instant, according to our expecta tions, it was inconvenient to stop in the Fore >t City, for the anticipated day there was already past when we touched the David Clark’s wharf at 7p. m. Wednesday. The Health Officer be i; g promptly on hand we landed, hurried iato a hack and were driven with all speed to the Central, barely in time to check our baggage and secure a seat in a sleeper before the train started. The detention of the Clark at Brunswick, where she took on six hundred barrels of rosin, in addition to her other freight, made her late in reaching Da rien, where, of course, there was something waiting to be shipped. Anyway, the clatter even was pleasant and novel, and the speed of the train, in pleasant contrast to poking at a snail's pace all the hot day on the river, where scarcely an alligator felt energy enough to show his head, has increased the railroad fever 1 had caught long ago. until enthusiasm cries for it, whether it be built from Walthourville or No. 1. We had a quiet night on the cars. Nothing more exciting nappened than the run ning off of one freight car about 3 o’clock in the morning. This was soon righted, and we reached Augusta somewhere between six o’clock and brrakfast time. Avery few years bring about great changes, and “au fait,” as we Darien people are to rapid and sudden shiftings of matters and things, tbe stride of this city during the last ten years make it difficult to remember any thing, and I soon fouud myself bewildered in the attempt to keep ti e turnings, and see the sights at the stme time Of tnese, as yet, 1 bave seen few, owing to the heat of the morn i n< sun. The very first night after my arrival, how ever, we went to a weddit.g at St. Johu's Methodist Episcopal Church, which was thronged with guests to witness the solemn life vows There was considerable delay in the arrival of the bridal party, and tbe lady who presided at the organ had played many and varied selections from wedding marches, with goo 1 pauses between, before the time actually came for striking the opening chords of Men delssohn’s bright composition, which reminded me of a late wedding at St. Andrew’s Church, Darien, when the organist for the occasion had to blow a reed organ, ani having begun to pity too soon, thought the bride would never come Two electric lights were displayed on Green street in honor of the biide on Thursday night, I suppose; and the line on Broad street being lighted, made it like walking in fairy-lan >. Differing from all oth-r lights—sun, moon or lamps—this is real y more like sunlight reflected from a mirror than anything else, though rather whiter, and in its effulgence tbe gas lamps burn with a sickly, tallow candle, yellow feebleness. This light of the future, as it must eventually be come, shows beautifully the natural tiut of grasses and foliage; the deep green and blue of the Derby hats worn by young men about t >wn, and tbe lovely shades of ladies’ and chil dren's costumes were brought out with a clear ness and beauty that was true and yet unreal, The street on all sides was as light, and yet without the glare and beat of day, and it may be this lack of heat and glare that render. it so sweetly illusory. Of course, on my first visit, after so long, I attended services at St. Paul’s, and listened to an earnest sermon from the Kev. Chauncey Williams, on a selection from chapter xiv. of St. Luke’s Gospel, lli'h verse, being the gospel for the day—endiiig: •'For I say unto you that none of thofe men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.” Referring to the many v leant pews chargeable to the heat of the weather, and deploring the listlessness and apathy of church people, as the clergyman so feelingly aid, carried me back a few months to winter and empty pews at home. The music was good—the Te Deum especially effective. Of the,voices separately I would not dare speak, and will bo-row the general ve - diet that “St. Paul’s is the finest choirin town ” The memorial window to Miss Louise King is so touchingly beautiful in its simplicity as to start tears In the dryest of eyes, and although it lias been often described, and probably seen by you, many a time, one mention more will not be supetfluous of the loveliness of ch rac ter reflected in a face fud of tenderest woman ly sympathies, in whioh the little lamb beside her seems to have found shelter, as it ifts its plaintive face to hers, so full of love. The figure is full length, and the likeness is said to be a good one, the one line written below ex pressing the fullness of promise; “AMD AGAIN HIKV SAID ALLELUIA.” Beside tbi*, and nearer the chancel, is anoth er memorial window to her sister, Mrs. Con nelly—also a full length figure of a lovely lady —a beautifully des gned and executed bit of work. In front, and yet on the left side of the chancel, is the brass leeturn present and by the Sunday school at Easter, a tribute to the mem ory of their late rector, Kev. Mr. Clark, a graceful trefoil twines around a light shaft rising from a square base, on which is the ii - scription, and supports by its branches the ta blets at the top, on which rests the Holy Bible from which the lessons for the day are read. There are a few marble tablets on tbe wall. One to the left of the chancel attracted me p r -ticulrly, being dedicated to the memory of the beioved Bishop Polk, who was also a be loved General in the late Confederate army. Tbe obancel window itself, bac* of the super altar, is in memoriam of the late Dr. Ford, and represents the Good Bhepherd with a tender lamb >n his arms. The side windows and su - roundings are beautiful, the Kyrie being among the many emblems of Christ used in the border embellishments. l ast r ight we went again to St. John’s M E. Church, and on the way we passed the “Cen tral” trjin, stationary on Washington street, an i quite an excited crowd gathered about the passenger and smoking cars. Just as we got abreast the smoking car some men ran out and tff tbe platform to the street, where pii'i ful cries filled tbe air. We were told that they were try ing to arrest a man, and he had cut several persons One of our party stopped, and on inquiry found that it was an unfortunate gentle nan connected with the cAronfpfc Qn<t Constitutionalist, who, from overwork or some cause, had temporarily lost his mind. He was begging piteously that nobody would come near him nor open the door, lest he kill some one. From some symptoms, days ago, it was thought best to give him a rest, and leave of absence was granted. He went to Charleston, and had only returned from that city, where he escaped trom his guard and boarded the Central, taking possession of tbe smoking car, iu which he cornered a passenger and was pressing him close with a knife bought jn Charleston, when the first attempt fit arrest was made, and the passenger escaped. The car doors were then locked on him until arrangements were perfected for th* capture, which was finally effeoted by springing on him. when hig back was turned, jn his walk up and down the oar, and he was overpowered and the large bowie knife taken from him. He was taken in custody and re moved, and the train went on its way. The circumstance seems to excite general c mails eration. Rest and quiet, let us hope, will soon restore him. He seemed much troubled to-day, I hear, about what happened last night, teg gif g to know jt he had killed any bod*, and wbrn told not, wanted to know if any one was seriously injured and would die of his wounds. Being reassured on this point, he got quieter at once.. Peaches, plums and early apples, plenty of vegetables and the usual small fruits are cried morning and evening, ft is late, but I hope yet to know once more the delights of strawberries and cream. Major Joseph B. Cummiegs was pointed out to me on the sir. et as oqe whose name was on the list for the Gubernatorial nomination —a very fine looking man, with that firm,elastic step loosed upon as indicative of fine, clear mental qualities. Everybody says politics are at a stand still—tbe furnace is not sufficiently heat ed to start the engines working. We cling to the Lester train for Congress, ar.d would not mind boarding it for Atlanta, too. The Pqrien post office, you will remember. Changed hands a few days before we left home, and things must have been a little com plicated, for a postal sent to Savannah the day before leaving home was not matted until the day after we had come away. Warm are the words of congratulation given QUr people on their good fortune in securing the services of Mr. Byron Holly as future rec tor. Mrs. Holly Is an Augusta lady, and both of them are well known and highly esteemed in church and social circles. Sunflowers, natural and artificial, are seen everywhere —in front gardens, in the hands of thp boys and girls, on ladies’ left shoulders, aud in their helts. Artificial calia lilies are alto much used for large decorations with the sun flower. The weather here is pretty warm, but now and then a right good breeze springs up even on this beautiful but heavily shaded street, where the interlacing boughs overhead some what shut out the air. We have had one or two pretty copious thunder showers, whic h laid the oust after the late hot and dry spell There is some fever in the city. owing to de fective sewerage, bqt as usual there is much exaggeration ip this matter, and it is not bv apy means so bad as reported outside.

The ,VI order of a Ablp’a Cap tat a by Vluilnous Seamen. One of ibe most frightful stories of mur der on shipboard made known within recent years was told in New York by the officers and crew of tbe ship Freeman Clark, which left Calcutta on Februarv 9.h, and arrived in Brooklyn Saturday morning. The trag edy took place on the morning of May 27th, whlie the vessel was off the Island of St. i bourns, and resulted in tbe death of the Cvptaln, James 8. Dwight, who was mur dered by two CnlDatnen, and of his assail ants, who were thrown overboard by the enraced crew. Tbe second officer of the ship was James M. Lowry, of Baltimore, a nephew of James D. Lowry, steamboat Inspector, and brother of Wm. P. Lowry, of the Baltimore City Court. Mr. Lowry gives the f allowing account of the affair: ”1 went on duty at half-past four o’clock on tae morning of May 27, It being Same day. About bait an nour la'er I saw two of the seamen run aft toward tbe ethln. I ran to see what was the ma"er. A I parsed Mate Wm. Williams’ room I glao e t io and saw him engaged in a desperate s ruggle with the Chinese cook, who had a hatchet in one baud and a carving knife tn the other. The ma*e was shouting ‘murder’’ and endei.wicg to defend himself aa beat be could. I saw rii as I dashed by to the Cap aiu’s ro.-tu "As I opened IW door of the room I saw the Captain on Lis knees, with his heal covered with wouuds uflicted with the hatchet. I ran out to the man at the Wheel and cried out to hloi, “My God, they’ve murdered the Captain!” meaning by ‘they’ the steward and cook, both Cbloaraen, whom we had shipped at New York. By this time the two flends were on deck, each armed with a hatchet and a large knife. They were perfectly Infuriated, and looked like wild Indians. They ran amuck through the ship, striking b ows at every one who came on deck. No one of the crew bad any weapons, but p eked up whatever was at band, and en deavored to get a blow at tbf Chinamen. I ran around the deck, with tl e steward In purmi’, and suddenly thought of the Cap tain’s revolver. 1 ran into bia cabin, pur sued by one of the Chinamen, but one glance showed that tbe weapon was gone. It was <he only pistol on the ship. I grabbed a sword as I ran through tbe cabin and made a slash at the Chinaman with it. I cut him only slightly. For twenty minutes we were fighting and dodging blows from tbe fiends. “The scene was a fearful one. Finally I got a slash at the steward with the sword and cut open his shoulder. Before he could regain his feet one of the seamen, Andrew Jansen, hit him In the head with a capstan bar and crushed his skull. Previously an other seaman named Johnson, bad got a blow at him with a pump handle, as the steward dashed past. The Chinaman cook was ch< pped in the head with an axe by ‘Frenchy,’a sailor. As the cook struck at him with his knife he dodged, and before the hatchet could be brought Into play ‘Frencby’ brought down his axe on the cook’s head. Both Chinamen died before noon and were thrown overboard. Toe Cap tain was buried in the ocean at sunset.” At the office of Vernon 11. B'own & Cos., agents of the vessel in New York, H was stated that the t.enlble sfftlr grew out of the fact that the Captain deprived the stew ard and cook of their usunl allowances of opium. One of the angry Chinamen went to the Captain’s berth and killed him with a hatchet. One blow of the hatchet split the Captain’s head open and another blow cat a very deep gash in his face. The China man. after killing the Captain, went to a berth where the mate was sleeping, and struck him on tbo head. The mate was stunned somewhat, but he arose and grap pled with his assailant. James 8. D sight, tbe murdered Captain, was a native of Springfield, Mass. He waa forty-five years of age and unmarried. Ha was a large man, weighing over two hun dred pouuds. His disposition was genial, and Messrs. Vernon 11. Brown & Cos. state that he was one of the last men who would abuse any members of his crew. Captain Dwight has oeen in the employ of the line lor about ten years. BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY. A revolution has broken out In Uruguay.
