and he expressed readiness to begin operations
at once. However, upon consultation with
parties owning land they declined the proposi

of Camden. S. C.. and Major R. N. Lawrence,
of Columbia, S. C., who aie here for the pur
pose of going into the turpentine business on
a large scale, provided they can get the lands.
They express themselves well pleased with our

and commence business soon as possible there
after. We welcome them.”

Aenee kn i -fflkr, bU some small bouses occu

The flre originated in the rear of Roberts’ drug
store, and, we believe, is conceded to have
been of incendiary Origin. The Are threat;
ened to cross Reynolds and Gloucester
streets, but the trees offered great pro
tection. and, with strenuous efforts of
the people, the hnildings were saved.
The loss by the Are aggregates about $45.00",
up n nich there waa an insurance of $10,3'15.

TIIE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
Many Important measures which
M ill be Hef re It, and the lll*hly
Responsible Duties tbe Leslolators
will Have to Perform— Necessity
for the Choice of Good IMen as L w
-makera Duly of the Voters of
Chatham Count) In the .flatter.
| E-ti‘or Hominy Mm: The duties to be per-
I formed by ihe next General Assembly of
! Georg'* are varied, delicate and very impor-
I tanf, and if well done will require the best
; talent, ripest experience and the assiduous
! and patriotic labor of the very best representa
j live men of the State.
j Among other things which the Legislature
I must do. it must elect a United States Senator
] for the term of six years from the 4th of March
next. The Stale has to be redistricted, so as to
| provide for our additional Representative in the
United fctates House of Representatives. The
prevent Railroad Commission law will be under
review, for the purpose of such modification as
a practical experience of its working may seem
to render necessary. The question of the West
ers and Atlantic Ran road lea*e may also engage
tbe attention of our lawmakers, and some
provision for the maturing bonds of the State
will also have to b? made.
These are grave matters, and the State
should have, an i the people should see to it
that she doe* h .ve from all parts of her terri
tory, her ablest, truest, pure;t men to do this
work. Young men without experience— rne
diocre men without sufficient capacity ambi
tious or seiflsh men looking to their own pre
ferment, thould stand aside, and the services
of th we only who can meet the requirements
of the occasion be demanded. While these
statement* a;e true of the entire State, they
app.y with pecul.ar fores to the county of
Chatham and the city of Savannah. The Re
presentatives of the commercial metropolis
of the Stale should be pre-eminently able in
iluentiai, capable representative men Tlu y
should be such as will command the
esnti donee. U.. unanimous respect and
supp trt of our people. They should be the
representatives and exponents of no personal
ism or par.iinahip. Tuey should be above
p-uy smail views of men or measures, and
a ive to the business and political interests of
their constituents in a word they should be
the peers of the ablest and noblest Represents
t-ve* of any other secfion or the State. If
tin re are any Iccti or personal questions on
which *e are Bot in accord they should be
honorably, amieahiy and fully settled inside
tbe patty. White Independent, free Demo
crats should wear no man's collar,
they should make personal war on
no good. useful Democrats. One of
these extremes is or bad as the other. Conser
vatism, free and kindly int rchange of views,
mutual concession, and a determination to
have a united, harmonious and successful cam
paign snouid be our watchwords. Those who
have the most at stake have frequently taken
tbe least interest in these matters. Let every
true Democrat, every citizen who has an in
terest in the prosperity of the county, consider
these questions and contribute of bis counsel
and au to see that we a-e properly represent
ed, and by the united voice of a united people.

country, e; peel ally the finding of the The

pyramids. Ha said that through all an
tiquity could be traced a spirit of reve
nece toward the d--ad. Among the Egyp
tians three 1> w< were prominent In te’lgion,
lh -first of which was to praise and thank
G jd, the second io love all mankiod, and
the third to honor the dead. Hence their
dead were buried wi'h great solemnity and
ceremony. The Egyptians, however, were
not the grave and gloomy people they are
commonly represented to have beeD, but
were extremely cheerful snd fond of enjoy
ment. Of this be found proof In an in
scription on the tomb of a woman who died
tn the year 25 B. C : “Oh, my brothers, my
spouse, my frienda,” she is represented as
saying, “drink, love, and be joyful, for tbe
dead are dead, and for them there U no re

TERRIFIC TORNADO.
ANOTHER CYCLONE IN IOWA.
Great Destruction NTrongbt—Several
Persona Killed and Many In*
j ured.
DrsMoines, June 24. —A dispatch just
received by the Register from Fort Dodge,
reports the town of Emmettsbarg, the coun
ty seat of Palo Alto county, as Jaelng blown
to pieces this morning by a tornado, and
that over one hundred people were killed.
The Illinois Central and Chicago and
Northwestern trains were blown from the
tracks. The Milwaukee and St. Louis Road
was wrecked. There Is a washout north oi
Forest City, and it Is reported that three or
four more towns in that vicinity are blown
to pieces. The telegraph wires are all
down north of here, and it is impossible to
get more news at the present time.
Yankton, Dak , June 24.—A violent
wind storm passed over this place this
morning, doing great damage to property,
but no less of life has this far been re
ported.
8t Paul, June 25.—A special from Spen
cer, lowa, rectived late last night, says: “A
cyclone passed through this vicinity last
night. It struck this town, and did much
damage, unrooting buildings, tearing Up
sidewalks and blowing down residences,
barns and business blocks. In the southern
part of Clay county it blew down twenty
houses, killed five people and injured about
twenty-five.”
Sioux Citt, lowa, June 25. —A report was
rectived at 8 inborn station cn the St. Paul
and Milwaukee Railroad, twenty miles
northeast of Hospers, lowa, that Primghar,
lowa, was wrecked by a storm and six peo
pie injured. Primghar is eight miles south
of Sanborn, and is the county seat of
O’Brien couuty. It has about three hun
dred inhabitants. Surgeons from Sanborn
have gone to Primghar.
Sioux City, lowa, June 25.—Further re
ports show that the cyclone or hurricane,
which wrecked Primghar, struck Ilospars,
fifty miles northeast of S'oux City. At
Pamard it destroyed the Presbyterian
Church,a school house.acarpentei’s shop snd
twenty five residences and barns. It lasted
only fifteen minutes. Henry Gaule.a farmer
was fat illy injured. Its course appeared to
be from west to east, in a path of live miles
wide for fifteen miles. Eighteen freight
cars of the Chicago and St. Paul Rdltoid
were turned upalde down. The depot and
au adjoining warehouse were lifted
from their foundations and carried ten to
twenty feet ar.d badly wrecked. The pe
culiarity of the storm was that the wind
entirely missed some buildings in Us path,
wh’le destroying others. The loss ia too
widespread to be closely estimated. In
Hospers alone it is probably $l5O 000 Oaf
stde of the villsga about twenty five houses
and barns were destroyed.
Dubuque, Icava, June 25 —The reports of
the eycicue a* Emmettsburg, lowa, tele
graphed from Fort Djdge yesterday after
noon, prove to be greatly exaggerated.
There waa i severe stoim, and four or live
buildings were blown down, but no one
was killed.
POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Au Open belter to Hubbell From
George tv. Cur Us.
New York, June 25—George William
Curtis, on behalf of the New York Civil
Service Reform Association, has written an
op?n letter to Congressman Jay llubbel!, of
Michigan, Chairman of the R publican
Congressional Committee, in reply to that
gentleman’s recent suggestion of testing
the legality of the political assestment
methods of bis committee by submitting
the question to the Attorney General. Mr.
Curtis says the legality issue will be tested
la the courts, the proper place for such
teats, and in addition to this Mr. Curtis
challenges Hubbell’s authority to act in be
half of the Republican party, ask3 what
authority constituted his comm'ttee and in
what way It Is responsible to the K publican
party.
The Civil Service Reform Association
have detignated Everett P. Wheeler and
Francis Whittridge as their counsel, and say
that it, is the official action and not the
opinion of Mr. B-ewater that they have a
right to ask for, nd they offer in the
letter to Mr. Ilubbell to let him
select for a test a case *in
which some New York officeholder who
has paid the assessment shall be tried in th *
Circuit Court in this district; also, they
offer to join Mr. Hubbell in a Q klng the
President to announce that no officeholder
will ba removed for refusing to psy the
assessment.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Wbit People on the Klhmus Think
of It—Belief that Americans Will
Yet Flolab It.
Washington, June 24 —Captals Belknap,
commanding the United States steamer
Alaska, has written to Admiral Balch giv
ing the conclusion he has reached in regard
to the Panama canal, as a result of a recent
tour of inspection and of interviews with
well Informed residents of the isthmus,
among whom is mentioned the late James
Boyd, editor and proprietor of the
Panama Star and Herald. Mr. Boyd
expressed the opinion that there had
been bad management and extravagent ex
penditure by the canal folks, and that until
recently the officials had been inclined to
conceal from the public to a great extent
the operations of the company and the
value of real work accomplished, but owing
la a mea;iAto the constant and fearless
criticisms or the Star and Herald they had
finally changed their tactics and were now
less reticent in their dealings with
tbe public and the press. He fu-ther
said that $250,000 had been paid for a grand
hotel, and that $30,000 more had been ex
pended In fitting it up for the offices; that
twenty-five officials, draughtsmen, clerks
and the like were employed In the building,
and still more room was wanted; that $25,-
000 had been expended on hospital grounds
and buildings at Ancoss Hill, and that it
would require $300,000 more to complete
them; that similar extravagant expenditure
had been made on the other side, and yet at
no point on the isthmus had the company a
cot or a bed of its own in which to put a
single sick man.
Captain Belknap says: “I visited Ancoss
Hill, and though the engineering of the
work there is superb and the buildings in
process of erection of the most substantial
character, it struck me that if the expected
sick of the canal employes were to bs in
proportion to the extravagant preparations
made for them, the isthmus could not be
regarded as what It is by many affirmed to
be —a very healthy and salubrious regioa.
“Mr. Boyd also thought the estimates of
D; Lesseps far below what would be the
actual cost, though he believed it would
be finally cut I asked him if he believed
that $500,000,000 would cut a working sea
level canal through the isthmus. He
thought it would, but he gave no intimation
that sueh figures were excessive. Another
prominent American resident of Pana
ma, actively engaged in business there
during the pa9t thirty years, and one of the
largest capitalists on the istnmus, professed
faith in the ultimate success of the canal,
but thought It would never be finished by
the present company; that the French com
pany would probably reach Gatun with its
cutting, when, by that time having ex
bausted its funds, it would collapse, and
American capitalists would step in and push
it to completion ”
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Saturda)’* Session of llie House—
Prospects for Adjourmueut—The
Eleciiou Contests.
Washington, June 24. —In the House,
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,Chairman of the
Committee of Way and Means, reported a
concurrcat resolution for a flDal adjourn
ment of Congress at twelve o’clock upon
the lOih of July. Adopted.
The morning hour having been dispensed
with, the lious \ at 11:45, went into com
mittee of the whole on the bill to reduce in
ternal taxation, and the bill was read by
sectioi s.
Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey, moved to
amend by striking from the first section the
clause repealing the tax on baok capital.
Mr. Smith, of Illinois, advocated an
amendment, which he offered to Mr.
Robeson’s amendment, repealing the tax on
the capital of State and private hanks, and
leaving it upon tne capital of national
banks.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to amend
by striking therefrom all that relieves the
banks of taxation. Mr. Smith’s amend
ment was lost. A vote was then taken on
Mr. Robison’s amendment, and it was
also rejected—so ayes; 90 nays. This was
one of the amendments agreed to by the
Republican caucus The question recur
ring upon Mr. Holman’s amendment,
which was so modified as not to apply to
hank checks, drafts, orders and vouchers,
but simply to strike out the clause repeal
ing the tax on hank capital and deposits,
was lost —86 ayes; 93 nays.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment, providing that from and after
July Ist, 1883, all laws imposing internal
tsx:s on tobacco, snuff, cigars, cheroots
and cigarettes shall bi repealed, as well as

am< ndment permitting any firm, individual
or corporation to withdraw from bond alco
hol and spirits, containing alcohol in spe
cific quantities of not less than 350 gallons,
without the payment of the tax, for the sole
purpose of use In industrial pursuits. With

derstanding that the bill should come up
on Monday as unfinished business. Ad
journed.
THE MISSISSIPPI CONTEST.
The House Committee on Elections to
day postponed action on the MissifSippl
contested election case of Buchanan against
Manning until next Tuesday,
CHANCES FOR ADJOURNMENT.
Washington, .June 25 —So far as the ap
propriation bills are concerned it is now be
lieved that by the 10,h of July an adjourn
ment may be tradeable and possible, but
there is a growing sentiment with the R -
publicans of the House that it will be un
wise for the party to consent to an adjourn
ment without deposing of the pending con
tested e'ection cases. It now seems quite
probable that the South Carolina
contested case of Bmall6 vs. Tillman
will be called up in the House as soon as
the remaining appropriation bills are dis
posed of. This, however, will not necessa
rily delay adjournment, but will contrive to
take up 'the time of tbe House while the
Senate is considering the appropriation
bills. The extreme heat of the past few
days has not been without effect, and the
desire to reach an early adjournment is ex
pressed on all sides.
DA YITT’S *DEFENSE.
He Replies to ibe Strictures ol Harris
New York, June 24 —Michael Davitt de
voted the principal portion of his Jersey
City speech last night to replying to a bitter
attack made upon him by Michael Harris in
a letter in the Dublin Freeman's Journal.
Davitt said he was sorry Harris and his
other opponents had not bad the courage to
attack him while *he was In Ireland and
could defend himself. He then took up
Harris’ charges one by one. Some he an
swered and others he denounced as deliber
ate lies. Davitt exonerated Parnell from
any part in the attack upon him, and said he
would soon return to Ireland to face his
slanderers.
Stocks In London.
London, June 24—The Economist of
this week says: “The rate fit discount
for bank bills, sixty days to three
months, is per cent., and for trade
bills, sixty days to three months, to 3
per cant. The result of the week has been
more unmistakably adverse than has been
witnessed since the Paris crisis. American
railroads have heen influenced by the move
ments at New York. Lake Shore has risen
4, and Central Pacific and Wabash, Denver
and Rio Grande common has fallen 4, and
Louisville and Nashville 3 and St. Louis and
San Francisco common 1 peg cent.”

Disastrous Results of the Freight-
Handler*’ Strike.
New York, June 24 —A member of a
prominent business house said to day to a
fbsf reporter: “This delay to shipping In
terests is causing a loss of from $50,000 to
$70,000 every day to the business men of
this city, and the railroad managers are not
making any effort to stop it, because they
know that on every piece of goods which
they can delay until the first of next month
they will be able to charge an advance on
the rates of from 40 to 60 per cent. The
merchants of this city have certainly sus
tained a loss of $1,250,000 since the strike
began, besides a permanent loss of custo
mers, due to the transfer of trade to other
cities.” .
Philadelphia, June 24.—it is announced
here to-dey that owing to the labor troubles
in Jersey City, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will transfer freight shipments to
Bouth Amboy by the old route. Railroad
officials 6ay that at this time, when retrench
ment has been the rule, the demands of
the strikers will certainly not be acceded to.
Jersey City, N. J., June 24 —At one time
to-day the situation looked very serious for
the railroad companies. The strikers were
evidently bent on mischief. About one
thousand laborers started to march to Ho
boken, but on learning that tbe entire police
force of Hoboken were ordered on duty to
protect the Erie and Delaware and Lacka
wanna Railroad depots, with orders to ar
rest as trespassers any of the strikers who
appeared, they turned aside to the
Pennsylvania Company’s yards. There all
the laborers joined the ranks of the strik
ers, including the freight brakemen. The
police were called for, but when they
reached the spot the strikers had left for
the New Jersey Central depot, where they
took entire possession and stopped work.
A large body of police, however, soon ar
rived, and the strikers marched to the
sugar refiaeries near by, aud stopped
the loading of cars. They committed no
violence and kept out of the way of the
police, abandoning each position upon
learning of the approach of the offi
cers. The Pennsylvania Company em
ployed one hundred special policemen
to day. Tbe Erie Company put their
stations at work again to-day at Hoboken.
Tbe only places in New York having the ap
pearance of business are the freight houses
of the New Jersey Central, Delaware and
Lackawanna and Statin’s River and Harbor
Transportation Line. The St. John’s Park
warehouse of tbe New York Central Com
pany is practically closed. The same can be
said of the ■ warehouses of all other trans
portation lines except those named, the few
men at work not being able to accomplish
anythiog. The streets in the neighborhood
of shipping points are not uncomfortably
crowded with trucks to-day, the merchants
having apparently abandoned the idea of
shipping until the strike is over. Incoming
freight is being delivered with comparative
promptness, as the consignees send their
own employes for it. The New York Cen
tral has granted an advance of five dollars
per month to their swltchmeu.
The Board of Trade to-day had a meeting
to devise measures for relief. They ex
pressed sympathy for the strikers, and for
mulated a protest against the approaching
Increase in outward freight rates.
Baltimore, June 24 —The grain handlers
stiuek this morning for an advance of 25

Laredo, Texas, June 24.—There was a

way called Cibolo. Brown was killed and
two men were wouuded, one dangerously.

New London, June 24 —Edmond Ben

A MYSTERIOUS HANGMAN.
The Unknown Person who Will
Swing tiulteau Into Eternity.
Washington Post.
“Send us a photograph of the man who
will hang Guiteau,” telegraphed the editors
of a Northern paper to their correspondents
here. They did not know how difficult,
how absolutely impossible to perform was
the order they had given. No one knows
who the hangman is to be. His Identity has
been well concealed, and will always remain
a sealed bock.
The gallows is so situated at the farther
end of the northeast corridor that Its plat
form Is on a level with a row of cell|. Into
one of these runs the cord that connects
with the bolt of the trap door in the scaf
fold. When the last prayer has been said,
and the black cap tied on the condemned
man’s head, and ihe noose adjusted, War
den Crocker, standing on the gallows, makes
the preconcerted signal with his handker
chief, an unseen hand pulls the cord, and
the victim of tbe law is hanging in mid air.
Many an execution has taken place in the
jail, but to this day only two people know
who was the lonely occupant of that par
ticular cell, the man who, after all, occu
pied the mc6t important place. The jail
guards do not know, or If they know they
have kept the secret well. The two persons
are Warden Crocker himself and the man
who does bis bidding.
What must be the feelings of this man as
he waits in solitude for the signal which
makes him the instrument of a fellow crea.-
ture’sdeath? What must he think as he
looks through the little hole in the cell wall
upon the crowd in the corridor below, see
ing everybody and everything, and yet him
self unseen? Is he one of the guards who
look Guiteau in the face, and talk to him
dally? If so, wbat must be his thoughts
when he remembers that he is to
be the instrument of the death of
the man before him? Does he feel a
momentary pang as he pulls the fatal cord
which sends his victim into eternity? And
suppose,rfifeer all, when the signal came, his
nerves should faii him and his arm, falling
helpless t his side, should refuse to do its
offict?
This mysterious person is the one who
will hang Guiteau. You may meet him and
talk to him; you may grasp his hand; you
may jostle against him in ihe crowded
thoroughfare; he may sit by your side in
the street car; but you will never 6ee his
picture in the public prints.
Drifting Amid lee Mountains.
The steamer Abyslnia, which arrived at
New York on Sunday last from Liverpool,
was delayed four days longer than her
average time for crossing on account of
having encountered immense ice floes. The
steamer left Liverpool on the morning of
the 3d Inst., and had been out about a week
when the ice first made its appearance. It
was in latitude 42 deg. 40 min., longitude 49
deg. 50 min., about one o’clock in the morn
ing of Sunday last when the Captain was
called on deck. The morning was so dark
and such a heavy fog prevailed that one
could scarcely see a hundred yards before
him. Haying been informed that ice was
likely to be found in that region, Captain
Bentley exercised the greatest caution, and
when the first iceberg loomed up in the
darkness he gave orders at once to di
minish the speed of the vessel. No
sooner was the Iceberg espied than
others put in an appearance, until
presently the ocean seemed to swarm with
them. Some of them are described as be
ing over two hundred feet in height, sugar
loaf in shape, and tapering up to a point.
Several, it is declared, were over two hun
dred feet at the base, while all around them
were floating particles of ice that gave
them the appearance of small islands. As
the steamer progressed the Icebergs grew
more numerous, until finally the Captain
could do no more than drift and proceed
with the .greatest caution. At times the
Abyssinian passed within four hundred
yards of the largest ice floes and caused
many of the passengers to tremble. A
southeast wind was blo wing and the weather
was warm and pleasant, making tbe trip
most enjoyable but for the dense fog that
seemed to follow them almost until
New York was reached. From the discov
ery of the first Iceberg until the vessel
was entirely clear of lee Captain
Bentley says that fully a hundred miles
were traveled. Had the weather been clear
and no fog there would be bo diffieulties
encountered. At times the fog was so
dense that the lookout man could not be
seen by those on the deck of the vessel, and
the Captain ordered that the temperature of
the water be taken every few minutes to
discover the proximity of ice. On Monday
the temperature of the sea fell to forty de
grees, when the engines were stopped for
six hours, after which the steamer pro
ceeded very slowly for the next three days.
On Tuesday the vessel sailed through a
whole fleet of Icebergs, varying in size from
fifty to one hundred feet in length. The
Captain said that in his seventeen years’ ex
perience in those waters he never saw so
much ice. The ice encountered, be states,
comes from the coast of Labrador, is carried
by the currents through Davis Straits into
the Gulf Stream, where It finally dissolved
Id the warmer atmosphere,
HIS LAST CHANCE GONE.
GUITEAU TO SWING OX FRIDAY.
The President Declines to Interfere
—The Assassin’s Sanity Determined
at His Trial— His ITlessage to Ar
thur—His Slstet’s Latest Freak
The Death Warrant to he signed
To-Day.
Washington, June 24 —The Guiteau case
is finally settled. He swings next Friday.
He has lost all hope, and so expressed him
self to-day. The refusal of the President to
interfere in his case is even accepted as final
by Charley Reed, Guiteau’s counsel, who
has done all that could be done to 6tave off
the execution of the sentence of death.
The Cabinet have decided not to Interfere
with the sentence of Guiteau, and the
Attorney General this morning instructed
the Marshal of the District and the Warden
of the jail to keep the prisoner in strict
confinement, and allow.no person to see
him except his spiritual adviser, his physi
cian and the officers of the jail.
The result of the special meeting of the
Cabinet last evening, in considering the case
of Guiteau, was made known officially this
morning by a statement from Ihe Attorney
General that the plea for a respite had been
refused. This conclusion was reached last
evening, but was purposely withheld from
the public in order that it might first be
made known to the prisoner.
The Attorney General, to whom all ap
peals and petitions presented to the Presi
dent bearing on this case had been referred,
submitted an elaborate report to the Cabinet
last evening reviewing all the points pre
sented in favor of the respite and recom
mending that it be not gran ted,on the ground
that the sanity of the prisoner had been
fully established at the trial. The riport was
generally discussed and unanimously ap
proved by the Cabinet, all the members of
which were present. An understanding was
reached as above stated. Rev. Mr.
Hicks called on the President and
the Attorney General last even
ing to learn the result of the meeting,
but was informed that nothing could be di
vulged on the subject till this morning.
Similar efforts on tbe part of Mr. Reed,
Guiteau’s counsel, were also fruitless. Rev.
Mr. Hicks called upon the Attorney Gen
eral this morning by appointment, and was
informed that tbe Cabinet had decided not
to interfere with the execution of Guiteau’s
sentence. Mr Hicks thereupon drove to
the District jail and informed Guiteau of
the decision.
GUITEAU’S MESSAGE TO HICKS.
Guiteau has sent the following message to

CADET FINLEY’S SUICIDE.
Captain Ramiay Declared Nlorally
Re*pontb!e for the Nad Event.
An Annapolis special says: “There Is strong
feeling among the cadets over the suicide of
Cadet Finley, of Ohio. Finley belonged
to the class of ’BO, and was just finishing up
his final examinations. The subjects in
cluded in this examination are naval tactics,
seamanship, gunnery, theory of navigation,
practical navigation and French. Cadet
Finley was subject to fits of despondency,
and threatened more than once previously
to take his life, being fearful that he would
not be able to pass the severe examination,
and dreading the consequent disgrace.
When he reached Annapolis,after the cruise,
he did very well with the examina
tion till he reached the subject of gun
nery, in which he was badly deficient. He
was engaged to be married and was very
much afraid of having to return to his
home and sweetheart in Bucyrus, Ohio,
without being a full fledged naval officer.
The following account of this tragic inci
dent, which differs materially from the
“official” statement telegraphed from here
on Tuesday, was givpn by one of Finley’s
classmates, a young gentleman who has just
fioished the examinations with credit, to
himself and who would scorn to give any
but what he considered an absolutely truth
ful account. ‘Our class strongly believe,’
said this cadet, ‘that Captain Ramsay is
morally responsible for poor Finley’s
death. The final examinations this
year have been unusually severe— much
harder than they have ever been known be
fore. Finley "was always fearful of the
ordeal, but we did all we could to cheer him
up. Gunnery was too much for him, and
he threw up that subject entirely and took
a zero. This discouraged him greatly, and
in one of his bad moods he sat down and
wrote his resignation and sent it to the Su
perintendent. He told me afterward that
after he had sent the resignation he received
letters from home that cheered him up and
gave him new heart. Under this Inspira
tion he went to Captain Ramsay and asked
leave to withdraw his resignation. Captain
Ramsay replied, be told me, that he might
withdraw his resignation, but that he would
in that case give him a zero in one or more
of his studies and recommend his dismissal
from the academy. Finley then told him,
of course, that he would let the resignation
stand.”

Atlanta, June 24.— 1 t becomes more evident
every day that the atmosphere is in a trou
bled condition, as we are now having very hot
spells interspersed with frequent thunder
showers.
But with ail our severest ills we have cause
to thank God that we have escaped the terri
ble storms, cyclones and freshets that have
been so destructive of life and property in
other parts of the country.
"Die farmers of North Georgia have had some
serious drawbacks, and may encounter more
before the season is over: yet, on the whole,
pretty fair returns may be expected from the
labors of the present year.
New railroad enterprises have drawn off
many farm hands, as more freedom and better
wages are given, and this may have something
to do with the speedy gathering of ctops in
certain sections.
Rival railroad enterprises have unsettled the
price of labor among railroad hands, some par
lies paying as high as a dollar and a quarter
per day, while others give only eighty cents or
one dollar. This fact caused the recent strike
of Macon extension hands in Atlanta.
SOME LOCAL GOSSIP.
The Exposition Cotton Mills are beine put in
order for the reception of their machinery,
and it is probable that the sound of spindles
may be heard before the close of the present
year.
Visitors express surprise at the dirty and
dilapidated condition of the State capitoi. and
suggest that the expenditure of a little “elbow
grease by the janitors, and a few hundred dol
lars by the Superintendent of Public Buildings,
would greatly improve the place
In this section of the State schools and col
leges are making such showy displays at their
commencement exercises that the more sober
minded parents are asking whether their
children are beiDg educated for actors and ac
tresses or Congressmen and opera singers The
practical and useful seem to be lost sight of in
the commencement exercises.
The Shields-Joyner case has oreated consid
erable excitement, and in one respect resem
bles the famous Hill-Simmons trial. The latter
revealed how married laboring men spent their
nights away from home, while the former has
opened up to view how our society youhg men
enjoy themselves when they “take in the
t -'^ r L-,”./ üblic sympathy is strongly in favor
of Shields, and in securing anew trial he will
probably obtain anew verdict. It is not a case
that can be properly discussed in the news
papers.
Atlanta’s bad streets keep her involved in
lawsuits from one end of the year to another,
and in most cases the verdict for damages is
against her. Dr. Wilson has just obtained a
five thousand dollar verdict for a broken leg,
and yesterday a bad hole in Whitehall street
caused a broken arm to a lady, which may
finally result in a similar verdict. Yet ic seems
impossible to make the street commissioners
adopt the “ounce of preventative” policy in the
matter of street repairs.
There are some curious chances in this
world. Last February, in New York, H. I
Kimball addressed the American Agricultural
Association on the results of the Atlanta Ex
position. In closing, he said: “The time has
coma when we want immigration. * * We
want men and women with brain, who are not
afraid of work. * * * We want young men
and young women. * * * A hearty wel
come for all, and a fortune for all who will
come ” And jet in less than three months H.
I. K. packed up bag and baggage, wife and
children, and emigrated to New York. Preach

Captain C. W. Williams, U. S. A., of Ken
tucky, who married a niece of General Gor
don. has invented a sort of railroad telegraph,
which he proposes to use for telegraphing
from running trains to other trains or to the
stations. As I have had some experience in ex
aming such inventions, I do not hesitate to say
that this scheme cannot be made reliable and
safe. An experimental model may work satis
factorily to interested parties, but travelers on
long and important lines will hardly be williDg
to trust their safety to an invention that any
tramp or evil-disposed passer-by could in a
moment destroy.
PERSONAL MENTION.
I regret that my reference to Rear Admiral
Nichols’ health in my last letter was incorrect.
The information came to me from Washington,
and was semi-official and seemingly reliable.
Kate Sothern cannot be called ungrateful.
H. W. Grady first attracted public sympathy
to her case, and she named her first baby Henry
W. Grady Sothern; Governor Colquitt par
doned her. and now she named her last baby
Alfred H. Colquitt Sothern.
Judge J. W. H. Underwood, of the Rome cir
cuit, who has been presiding for Judge Hillyer
of the Atlanta circuit during the week, wears
his hat while on the bench, as it is a new one,
and nobby, his appearance is improved by the
practice.
Solicitor General B. H. Hill, Jr., Is still in
constant and devoted attendance upo.a his
afflicted father, and Col. Dorsey continues to
act as Solicitor General of this circuit, per
forming his duties with marked ability and
success.
Gen. W. 8. Walker, formerly of Florida, and
a veteran of two wars, proposes to run for
Comptroller General before the convention in
opposition to Capt. W. A. Wright, present
incumbent. As both lost a leg in battle it will
be easy for each one to put his “best foot fore
most.”
Ex Judge George N. Lester and General L.
J. Gartrell, opposing counsel in the Shields
case, yesterday had a lively word battle, which
at one time promised to become serious, but
was finally cooled down and ended without
harm. Judge Underwood having interposed.
Major A. O. Bacon, Gen. P. M. B. Young and
Dr. H. H. Carleton have been in the city for
the past two days, and rival candidates have
kept a sharp lookout on their movements. The
young Democracy is late in waking up, but it
appears to have become somewhatraroused.
HUMOROUS PARAGRAPHS.
A little bit of fun is sometimes more power*
ful than solid arguments of a grave character-
The hint that Mr. Stephens may cook Bacon in
his little “skillet” is already having its influ
ence in political circles. Some years ago,
while editing a paper in Alabama, two dis
tinguished gentlemen aspired to the nomina
tion for Governor, one being Col. Oates, of
Henry, and the other Col. Barnes, of Lee. I
humorously suggested that it would be better
to put up Barnes before we raised Oates. The
suggestion was extensively copied by the press
and discussed by the people, and Oates was
not nominated.
In noticing my reference to the late Colonel
George W. Patten, a Savannah gentleman, for
merly in the army, mentioned “Joe Locke.”
I did not then recognize the name as being that
of Lieut. Joseph L. Locke, who resigned from
the armv 1836, and several years later became
editor of the Savannah Republican. He was
Assistant Instructor of Infantry Tactics at
West Point Military Academy, from 1829 to 1831.
ar.d among the cadets was the erratic poet,
Edgar Alien Poe,who preferred to visit “Benny
Havens” rather than study. His negligence
caused Locke to report him, and he was finally
dismissed. Before leaving, however, he fired
the following epigram, from “28, South Bar
racks, 1830,” at his faithful instructor:
“John Locke was a very great name;
Joe Locke was a greater, in short;
The former was well known to Fame,
The latter well known to Report.”
OUR ISRAELITISH BENEFACTORS.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta
News ra’her dims the brilliancy of our recent
“Art Loan Exhibition” by his statement “that
the bulk of things worthy of note” were bor
rowed from three “Jews who were formerly
in the junk business.” As this correspondent
is himself an Israelite, of course he dots not
intend apy reflection upon his own race of
most excellent people. So far as the “junk
business” is concerned, a gentleman can carry
on that branch of traffic and still cultivate a
taste for art treasures. Messrs. Elsas, May and
Dreyfus are among Atlanta’s best citizens, and
by their industry and business tact they have
added large ! y to her wealth and industrial pur
suits, especially in their recently erected cot
ton factory.
One of our most highly esteemed aßd public
spirited citizens, who is always open handed as
he is open hearted, is Hon. David Mayer. For
years past he has been one of the most efficient
and zealous members of the Board of Educa
tion, and no one has given a heartier or more
sincere support to all measures calculated to
promote tne cause of education. As Treasurer
of the Benevolent Heme, a charitable institu
tion, his fidelity and liberality have won for
him a warm place in the hearts of all classes
of our people. A Hebrew of the Hebrews, yet
his charity, his sympathy, his influence, bis la
bors of love and usefulness know no creeds, no
nationalities, no selfish restrictions. Atlanta
has no kinder, truer or better citizen than Da
vid Mayer.
MINOR TOPICS,
The report-that a railroad brakeman has be
come an operatic tenor.and has been engaged
for next season at five hundred dollars per
week, need create no panic among brakemen.
I know a highly cultivated operatic tenor, who
spent years and money in European culture,
who is now glad to earn his living as a railroad
sub-eneineer.
Mr. Edward Atkinson, with all his apparent
generosity of suggestion and advice, is gene
rallv on the lookout for the “softest side of the
plank." He pushed the Exposition ahead for
a certain purpose, which partially failed, and
now he has his agents at work seeking to se
cure some of the results lost thereby. He pro
poses to establish a roller gin and Dedrick
press at some point near Atlanta, and show
the Southern planters how to gin, press and
ship their cotton. This is another Clement At
tachment scheme.
Railroad rumors are thick and growing
thicker. One can hardly keep up with the
rumored changes and transfers, and yet when
you apply at headquarters, it is like seeking
information of an accident, the officers are
ignorant of the whole matter. There are men,
however, who feel confident that important
changes in our railroad combinations are near
at hand, and may be awaited with certain ex
pectancy by the public.
For the past year Atlanta has had a first
class hotel for colored people, located in the
brick block opposite the Young Men’s Library,
but it is to be closed in a few days, as the
patronage does not sustain it. The proprietor
is a most excellent business man. and is aided
by a large and useful family, yet the people of
his race do not seem disposed to support his
new enterprise. As Atlanta is an educational
and political centre for the colored race, the
closing of the “Calhoun House” is a matter of
surprise to our white citizens.
Tne suicide of Prof. Land was a most terrible
ending of what might have been a brilliant and
useful life but for the opium habit that bad
enslaved him. I have hardly ever looked upon
a more horrible sight thau he presented before
being removed from the bloody pallet on which
he died. His case furai°heu another Illustra
tion of the force of a bad habit. With all his
skill as a chemist, and with a disregard of his
future welfare, he allowed the opium habit to
enslave and ruin him. Devoted to his profes
sion to a remarkable degree, and loving his
estimable wife and beautiful children with a
never faltering affection, yet he could not mas
ter the terrible habit that threatened to ruin
his business, destroy his happy home and end
prematurely his life.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
Having raised flve hundred dollars, Atlanta
will celebrate the glorious “Fourth" with a
new brass band, a fantastic parade, a few bal
loons, five thousand country negroes, and
cheap watermelons.
Several years ago we had here two large and
flourishing musical societies—the Rossini and
the Beethoven—but both died out. Just now
efforts are being made to revive an interest in
this matter, and organize new societies.
Both the Greenbacfcers end the Republicans
are reorganizing here in Fulton county, the
former with little success, while the latter are
making considerable headway among the
colored voters and office holding or seeking
whiten.
Great interest is b ing manifested in the re
sult of the first shipment of peaches to Chi
cago by the regular refrigerator cars of that
citv. Many persons doubt the financial suc
cess of this mode of transportation so late in
the season.
The complaint of tough beef seems to be a
general one, and a single glance at the poor,
half starved animals tnat are driven out to our
slaughter houses ought t> convince the most
skeptical that the com plaints are well founded.
A few years ago Atlanta was a great summer
resort, but now our own citizens send their
families out to Decatur, or up to New Holland
Springs or Gainesville, and run up there and
spend Sunday with them. This makes our
summer months and hotels rather dull.
Chatham.
The SaTiinnali and Pacillc Short
Line Hallway (Question.
Arc ola, Ga., June2l. —Editor Morning News:
Your weekly issue of November 19, 1881, con
tained an extract from the Dublin Gazette con
cerning a proposed new railroad said to be in
contemplation from Perry direct to Savannah
through Pulaski, Dodge, Laurens, Montgom
ery, Emanuel, Tattnall, Bulloch and Bryan
counties. Is this merely a pa-time topic, or
has some railroad corporation given vent to its
intention to build this road? It would be so
beneficial and valuable to our people and coun
try that, In discussing the question, language
cannot impart the interest their countenances
express in having a railroad to come through
this section. It has been so long hoped for in
vain that the people seem to doubt its
coming, and are quite anxious to ascertain
whether the report is based upon authority
from a railroad company. When we reflect a
moment and consider the general situation it
seems sufficient to relieve ail doubt. That great
power, the Cantral Railroad Company, controls
the road from Macon to Eufaula. from Smith
villa to Blakely and from Perry to Columbus.
The Savannah bound freight of all those roads,
iu the finest cotton belt in Georgia, would come
by the new route, and would have the patron
age of over fifteen thousand inhabitants In the
counties through which the road would pass.
A direct line centres the finest yellow pine tira
her belt in the South. The supply would be in
exhaustible even by the saw mill and turpen
tine operators, and a country was never more
adapted to firming and stock raising. I can
conceive no reason why the Central Railroad
Company will not connect Savannah and
Columbus by this line. They want paying roads,
and are continually building new ones. And
I will ask the question, could a better paying
road of the same distance and expense of con
struction be built in the whole South? If the
construction of this road is contemplated by a
company, and they wish to know the Interest
the people feel in the matter, let them call a
meeting in each county through which the line
passes and ask assistance of any kind that the
people cau render. Everybody is anxious. We
want to develop our country and enjoy the
benefits of its valuable products that are now
perfectly worthless to the world. Wo trust
that some strong railroad company will fully
investigate this matter and find it to their own
as well as the country’s interest to engage in
the great enterprise. This has hitherto been
one of Georgia's isolated sections, discon
nected and deprived of all railroad ad
vantages and blessings, notwithstanding
it is one of the most appropriate routes for a
railroad in Georgia. Besides the timber, stock,
agricultural products, and the papulation
directly on the route, it would open an air
line from the grain growing West to the mar
kets. It is said that the road is to be built by
New York capitalists. Doubtless this means
the Central Railroad Company. I can’t see
why they would not take great interest in this
road or even build it themselves.as it would be
a great source ef revenue to them, advanta
geous to Savannah and a blessing to the people
and country through which it passes. Soon we
hops to see Savannah and Columbus directly
connected by thoss iron ribs, and have the
pleasure of enjoying the civilizing and vitalis
ing influences of the locomotive which gives a
healthful glow to every section it traverses.
The press is agitating the question, and we
hope soon to receive more favorable and re
liable information on the subject.

SHERMAN'S CHANGE OF HEART.
A Revelation tbal was illtdeJn the
Senate Debate on the Ranh Bill.
4
Washington Correspondent New York Sun.
Among the curiosities revealed by the
debate in the Senate on the national bank
bill now under discussion, John Sherman’s
change of heart is one of the most remark
able. Last winter he was opposed to limit
ing the power of the banks to retire their
circulation, but now he pronounces himself
in favor of liiuitatiou. Treasurer Gil Allan
has always advocated this limitation, and
when the Senate Finance Committee in
vited him to come before it, Mr. Sherman
told him he was wanted to explain some
point in his opposition to the national
banks. The amendment to which Mr. Sher
man now g ves his adherence was really
prepared by Mr. Gllnllan, and Is simply a
formulation of the ground taken by him In
his last annual report. Moreover, It is pre
cisely, in principle, the much-abused Car
lisle amendment of the winter before last,
which met a storm of opposition from the
banks and from Comptroller Knox and Mr.
Sherman, the latter even going so far as to
persuade Mr. Hayes to veto the bill because
of the presence In it of this very provision.
The banks probably think they can now
yield this point, because they have gained a
more important one in the adoption of the
amendment giving the Secretary of the
Treasury the right to fund 3>£ per cents, in
threes, and making the first issue the last to
be called. This will give some banks a long
lease of life cn the present basis, and post
pone the consideration of the question of
what they are to do business in after their
bonds shall have been paid.
In the debate, Sherman made a charac
teristic exhibition of his cunning and his
disiDgenucusness. After he had explained
the three per cent, amendment he was con
fronted by the tali form of Senator Ingalls,
who asked him, in the tone of a seeker for
Information, whether the Secretary of the
Treasury could not do the very thing the
amendment authorized in that legislation.
Mr. Sherman did not see the trap that .
Ingalls was preparing for him, and replied
without hesitation that the Secretary could
not. Thereupon Mr. Ingalls changed his
tone of It qulry to that of very pointed as
sertion. He reminded Mr. Sherman that
Secretary Windorn had done in effect the
same thing by continuing the fives and
sixes at three and a half.
Bherman saw that he was trapped, and he
hesitated for a moment, and then delivered
himself of a characteristic evasion. He said
that Mr. Windom had not done that thing,
because he had performed no act of legisla
tion in continuing the bonds at whereas
the amendment provided that the first bonds
continued at 3 should be the last called.
Mr. Ingalls, as well as other senators,
simply smiled at Bhermau’s evasion, and
did not even remind him that Mr. Windom
had stepped over the legislative line by
changing the numbers on the bonds.
