Raid on the Treasury—The Inter*
nal Revtnuc and Biult Charters
BUI.
Washikgton, June 23.—1n the Senate,
the Committee on Naval Affairs reported
the bill providing for the construction of a
coaling dock and naval store bouse upon
St. Helena Island, on Beaufort river, S. C.
The amount of the appropriation is not
specified in the bill. Placed on the calen
dar.
The House bill authorizing the construc
tion of bridges over the Bt. Mary’s, Satilla
and other rivers in Georgia and Florida was
reported and passed.
Mr. Jonas, of Louisiana, from the Com
mittee on the Improvement of the Missis
sippi River, reported an amendment to the
sundry civil bill, fixing the salaries of mem
bers of the Mississippi River Commission at
$5,000 per annum. Referred to the Com
mittee ou Appropriations. „
•a moti n of Mr. Jonas, the Senate bill
attaching the parishes of St. Marv and
Iberia to the Western Judicial District of
Louisiana was passed.
The Senate resumed consideration of the
legists ive, executive aud judicial appro
priation bill, and devoted to H the remain
der of the day’s session. The lemalning
committee amendments, up to page 94 of
the bill, were agreed to, and the bill was
temporarily laid aside.
The House bill ftr an extension of bank
charters was received with .the information
that the House agreed to 6ome and dis
agreed to others of the Senate amendments.
Mr. Beck moved to refer the i||ll to the
Finance Committee in order that new pro
visions, which he thought essential, might
be inserted iu the bill. He said a conimunici
tion was received to day from the Treasury
Department, showing that the directors of
the Merchants’ National Bank and the Na
tloual Bank of Virginia, in Richmond, had
been permitted by the Comptroller of the
Currency to violate the national banking
law in the oath subscribed by them and tiled
with him as to their i ate of discount. He said
the prohibition of the law against the charg
ing of a rate higher than that authorized by
’he State law had been evaded by the di
icc'ors, with the assent of the Comptroller,
by the insertion in the oath of a provision
eyr'epting them from that prohibition, lie
anted the bill amended so as to secure
pm Isbment of this c lli:Ial by dismissal cr
impeachment.
After voting down Mr. Beck’s mot'on —
10 to 37—the Benat • refused to concur in
the aetlon of the House, and referred the
difference between the two houses on the
bill to Messrs. Allieon, Morrill and Beck, as
conferees on the part of the Senate.
The House leveuue bill was received aid
referred to the Finance Committee with
amendments proposed by Mr. P.umb, re
pealing ibe import du*y on sugar under the
law of 1875, and restoring the du’y which
prevailed prior to that year, and by Mr.
Beck, reducing the tariff duty on Bessem r
st< el rails from to $l4 per ton.
IlThe Senate at 5:05, having disposed of all
but eighteen pages of the legislative appro
priation bill, adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House Mr. Orth, of Indiana, from
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported
a resolution requesting the President to
communicate to the Hou e any additional
correspondence called for by the resolution
of the 25th of April and not heretofore com
municated to Congress, and also whether
anv proposition has been made by any per
son bolding office under the United States
to any Amerlcau citizens In British prisons
to accept their release upon conditions, and
if so, by whom such preposition was
made and tbe nature thereof.
The previous question was ordered not
withstanding the objection of Mr. Robin
eon, of New York, who desired to offer an
amendment, and who protested against an
attempt to “stifl ;” him. He was called to
order by the Speaker, who dually ordered
the S-rgeant-at-Arms to see that the gen
tleman was seated.
Mr. Robinson give notice that he would,
to-morrow, move to impeach our Minister
at London. That was a private question
aud he had the right to be heard on It.
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, a member
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, sup
ported the resolution, but especially advo
cating a resolution, which he proposed to
offer when the pending one was disposed of.
His resolution requites the President to
forthwith demand of the Government of
Great Britain the reason for the imprison
ment of American citizens in Ireland, and,
tf it shall appear that such imprsonment is
wrong, and in violation of t>i lights of
American citizens, he is authoriz *d to de
mand their release, and, if it Is dtlayedor
refused, he shall reso't to such means as he
miv think proper to effect such release.
Mr. Robiuson was then accorded the fl ror
for seven minutes, but he contemptuously
declined to make use of the time. lie s Id
he had documents by him wh.'-h should
bring a blush of shame to the face of every
American. H! could show that for a hun
dred days tue President had been on his
knees before Lord Granville, and that Lord
Granville was spitting in his face, aud in
sulting this nation by refusing to listen to
his prayers. There was all kinds of
garbage and nonsense sent to Lord Gran
ville to tell him that the Uou s e was not in
earnest. Ex racts from the New York Tri
bune as treasonable as ever was spawned
from the vermin that. Washington hunted in
177 G Including an ancestor of James Rus
sell Lowell, who was a Torv, had been sent
to Lord Granville, telling him the House
was not In earnest. He expressed his con
tempt for the milk and water resolution of
tbe committee, declaring that the House
had not sufficient courage to adopt a reso
lution which would show whether the Brit
ish lion’s taiL should be wrenched or the
American eagle’s neck be wrung.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Wtlson then offered the resolution of
which he had given notice, and it was also
adopted.
Tbe Houe, at 11:45 went Into committee
of the whole, Mr. Page, of California, in the
chair, on the named ap propria’ion bill.
Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey, who had
charge of the bill, briefly reviewed Its gen
eral features. He called attention to tbe
fact that it contemplated a large reduction
in the military and civil service of the navy.
The difficulty in the past had been that the
ilvll establishment had consumed the
greater part of the appropriations made f or
the service and left nut little for the mate
rial increase and maintenance of the navy.
The service was too top heavy. It must
take medicine if it was to be rel'eved. The
Committee on Appropriations had also en
deavored to put the service in the way of
great future economy by recommending the
concentration of the work of the various
bureaus.
The committee rose Informally in order
to fix some limitation upon general debate.
There was a strong disposition shown to
debate the measure at some length, Mr.
O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, declaring that it
uprooted and sought to destroy the navy,
advocated long discussion, while Mr. Bow
man, of Massachusetts, thought that the
House should be permitted to discuss a bill,
which instead of being an appropriation
bill with legislation engrafted upon P,
might more properly be termed a legislative
bill with an appropriation engrafted upon
it, changing as it did many vital principles
regarding the navy.
It was Anally agreed that general debate
should close tc-morrow at 2 p. m.
The House again went into committee and
took up the naval bill. A general attack
upon tne bill at once began upon the line
indicated in Mr. O’Neill’s remarks. The
only legislative part of the bill that receives
tbe support of the Committee on Naval
Affairs is the second section, which empow
ers the Secretary of the Navy to dispose of
all stores and supplies that shall be found
by the Board of Apprai ers to be unservice
able for use in the navy. The committee
will endeavor to strike cut all the other leg
islation which the bill conta'ns.
Mr. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, criticising
the provisions of the bill in detail, said
he believed that the hand and cunning of a
master workman were displayed not only In
the preparation of the bli! (it was prepared
by Mr. Robeson), but In the selection of the
time to present it to the House. Beneath
all this special display of reform there lay
the authority of the Secretary of the Navy,
which, unchecked, would resurrect and
revive the dangerous disregard and violation
of law which characterized and disgraced
the administration of the Navy Department
from 1872 to 1877. Congress was called
upon to complete monitors commenced by
that administration, in utter disregard of
law, but there were no measures takeu lu
the bill to protect the Interests of the gov
ernment. The Secretary of the Navy was
given power, which would be most danger
ous, if he 6bouid be corrupt, if (sarcasti
cally) It weie possible to have a corrupt
Secretary.
He then proceeded to make a vehement
attack upon Robeson’s administration of the
Navy Department, asserting that during that
administration over #54,000,000 had been
squandered, and quoting many statistics to
indorse his assertion and to hear evidence to
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1882.
the abuses which he Insisted were practiced
by the Secretary and hie heads of bureaus.
Returning to the discussion of the ques
tion as to the propriety of ccmpletlng the
monitors, he contended that, If completed,
they would be found to have cost in money
and material $6,000,000 each, and would
then be utterly worthless.
In a controversy which sprang up between
Messrs. Bowman and Robeson as to the
present condition of the navy, the latter ex
pressed his familiarity with all the vessels,
as he had himself built them. He might
have done so In violation of the law, but he
had done so, and It was too late to Impeach
him now.
Mr. Harris, of Massachusetts, said that he
felt a sense of humiliation as Chairman of
the Committee on Naval Affairs In under
taking to speak in favor of this bill. That
the committee, after having spent a month
In a careful investigation of the question as
to the best way in which the navy could be
built up, was now permitted part of an
hour to discuss what the duty of Congress
was. He complained of the rules of the
House which could prevent a majority
from considering and deliberating in debate
a question of such vital Importance. He
then proceeded to argue In favor of finish
ing the monitors, contending that they
would, when completed, be the finest ves
sel* afloat.
The committee then arose, and the House
adjourned.
THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
In the star rout* trial to-day tbe prosecu
tlon, presenting evidence In regard to the
route from Pueblo to Roslta, Col., read a
letter from M. N. Myrule, the contractor on
another route, to General Brady, warning
him that a movement towards expedition
and increase on this route had been In
stituted by the contractor solely for the
purpose of securing increased pay. He
declared that Pueblo was already supplied
with a daily mall by another route, and the
requested expedition was unnecessary.
In tbe discussion upon the effort of the
defense to introduce other evidence discred
iting this letter, Judge Wylie said tbe letttr
was the only piece of evidence which the
prosecution had introduced so far. Refer
ting to the quantity of testimony, oral and
documentary, which the proaecutlou has
introduced but which has tended to
the advantage of the defense, Judge
Wylie said: ‘lxeeogaize the fact that they
have been doing so from a strict sense of
fairness, but I believe it to be better for
each side to make the most for its own case.
It is nearly a month since we impaneled the
jury and began this case, and, if this kind
of policy Is to be pursued, I cau see no end
of It Inside of three years.”
Mr. Chandler said the court should dis
miss the case. The Judge replied that the
court could not dismiss a case as loug as the
proseeutton continued to give evidence. The
prosecution charged that false papers and
petitions had been used to defraud the gov
ernment. Ia order to sustain this charge
they must produce the false papers, but
there was no necessity for them to bring In
true papers. That should be left to the de
fense, whose obj ect was to get as clear and fine
a view of the scheme of the prosecution as
po sible. Tbe cour u brought a long argu
ment on this point to a close by remarking
that If It should appear, after all the evi
dence had been pretented on their tide by
the government, that the charges made tn
the indictment had not been sustained, the
proper motion could be made, and he would
not hesitate to dismiss the case. In the
o’her event, the defense could put In their
evidence and let the jury decide the matter.

TIIE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
Itleroiiint* Proceeding Against tbe
KaliroadH -A Sim'lar Strike Begun
In Boston.
New York, June 23.— A committee of
fifteen members of tbe Board of Trade, ap
pointed to take action on the freight trans
portation question, met to-day and de
cided to commence suits for damages
against the railroads for non-forwarding of
freight. The Attorney General’s co
operation will be Invited. If the
strike of freight handlers continues a move
will be made against the corporation for
their failure to exercise their franchise. It
will also be claimed that goods ready for
shipment prior to July 14th ma6t be carried
at the present and not at tbe proposed ad
vanced rates. A meeting of the cheese
dealers was held to-day for the purpose of
taking action on the Eon-del.very of goods
by the railroad companies. A resolution
was adopted deprecating the action of the
railroad companies and providing for tbe
appolutment of a committee to assees the
damages tustalued.
Jeh-ey City, June 28 —The strikers and
railroad companies maintain unchanged
positions towards each other. The
railroad switchmen, who only struck
out of sjmpatby with the freight
handlers, are greatly dissatisfied be
cause the strikers have not prevented tbe
railroad companies from filling their places.
The various railroad companies are now
moving a large quantity of freight, and are
working with a lull force of men. Special
police aTe still on duty at the yards day
and night. Their food Is supplied by the
companies, and they sleep In passenger
coaches which have, for their
accommodation, been placed on
side track-i The striking switchmen
of tbe New York'Central Road, decided to
resume work at noon to-day. The company
has a full force of freight handlers. The
Pei nsylvanla company put 200 additional
Italians at work this morning. The Erie
company this morning put 400 Russian and
Hungarian Jews at work on their docks.
Tnls company now has 830 of the refugees
working on their pkrs at the Long dock,
and at the foot of Duane street, New York,
the New Yo;k Central has a small force of
Italians at work. As all the roads are now
receiving freight, the street blockades In
the neighborhood of the warehouses and
piers are again becoming Intolerable.
Boston, Juue 28 —The entire force of
freight handlers of the B istoD, Lowell and
Concord Railroad In this city, numbering
four hundred and fifty, struck to day for in
c.-eased pay. Their places have not been
filled, and business at the freight houses Is
at a standstill. The men are quiet and no
trouble is feared.

GUITEAU.
A PREDICTION AS TO HOW HE
WILL DIE.
Indifferent to tbe Preparations for
Hie Execution Mrs. Scovllle
Makes a Final Appeal to tbe Presi
dent—Jadxe Porter’* Alleged Ad
mission. ••
Washington, June 23.—Dr. George M.
Beard, of New York, has made the follow
ing prediction as to the manner ia which
Gulteau will meet his death. Guttesu is
not specially heroic nor specially timid. He
does not wish to be hanged,but he Is willing
to be hanged, and, if necessary, will go to
the scaffold as he would go to the breakfast
table. If he must die. he would die
dramatically, picturesquely, publicly, with
insane attention to details, such as the
adjustment of the rope and Inattention to
the main and only issue, the deprivation
of life, and with an insane speech on bis
lips.
Rev. Dr. Hicks said to-day that his
knowledge of Gulteau led him to the same
conclusion as those expressed In Dr Beard’s
predictions.
A The arrangements for Gulteau’s taking
uff are about complete. Gulteau has heard
the sound of preparations, such as the saw
ing of timbers, hammering, the experi
mental dropplug of the trap, etc , but
be manifests a total indifference to them
He eats well, and takes exercise in hts cell,
and sleeps fairly well. The death watch
Is being kept, and he Is never alone for a
moment. Efforts to secure admission to
the jail by newspaper correspondents,
Sheriffs from abroad and other parties,
whose standing entitles them to polite con
sideration, are making life a burden to Mar
shal Henry and Warden Crocker.
Mrs. Scovllle, Gulteau’s sister, has written
a letter to the President appealing for a re
spite until the question of Gulteau’s sanity
can be passed upon by unprejudiced
scientists. She fortifies her apneal
with the statement that Judge Por
ter, at the end of his cross-ex mi
na’ion, made use of expressions to the
effect that Gulteau was crazy as a loon—
that It was impossible to confuse him, so
fixed was his delusion of divine Inspiration.
Judge Porter is alleged to have said this
to M. E. Stone, editor of the Chicago Dai’y
News. Her letter was delivered to tne Presi
dent personally to-day by Rsv. Dr. Hieka.

THE GREAT OIL WELLS.
Tbe Most Prolific Territory Ever
Dlecovered—The Rash of Develop*
ment—Tfce Burning Well.
Garfield Correspondence Philadelphia Record.
Three months ago this latest oil town was
a barren wilderness. Now it is a town of
one hundred and thirty houses, to which
additional structures are being aadei daily.
It Is the resort of the active oteratorsof the
new Cherry Grove oil field and the lounging
place of all the landsharks, gamblers and
laborers who follow In the wake of every
fresh oil excitement. The magnitude and
importance of this section is now conceded
throughout the entire oil region. In the
older fields drilling has been entirely sus
pended, the owners of the leases recogniz
ing the hopelessness of their t fforts to com
pete with thousand-barrel gushers on a
flfty-cent market. The trade is waiting
with ill-eoncealed impatience for the de
velopmen sof the next sixty days, which
may be expected to roughly outline the
Cherry Grove field and define to some ex
tent Its producing capacity.
The true story of the manner of locating
the pioneer well of this field ha 6 never until
now found Its way Into print. The ‘ 646”
well was put down on principles that are
regarded in olldom as fundamental, yet no
man, until Captain Peter Grace and George
Dlmlck strolled into Warren one day last
winter, thought It worth while to bother
with Cherry Grove, under whose sterile hills
lay a greasy treasure worth millions. Their
theory was the simple one that where a
heavy vein of gas was 6truck oil was not
far distant in some direction. "Now,” said
Captain Grace to the writer, "upon lot 556
you find the two Cornen gasers drilled 300
feet below the sand of the Clarendon field.
At that depth gas was found of 140 pounds
pressure to the Inch. Then about a mile south
by west of these gas wells, on lot 583, lathe
old Roth and Crowell well,drilled to the same
saffd as the Cornen wells, but spraying oil
through the casing under an immense pres
sure of gas, the production being about six
barrels a day. Now, we just put these wells
together, and tL ought that as one had gas
but no oil, while the other had gas and oil,
too, there must be a big pool of oil some
where further along. So we ran a line from
the upper Cornen well, through the Roth
and Crowell producer, and jumped five
miles along this line to lot 646, where we
located the ‘Mystery.’ We were not sure of
it, but we were bound to work the market
anyway, and so we hauled twenty-five bar
rels of oil to the well, to be used to grease
the derrick la case she turned out dry. But
she didn’t come in dry, a6 you know,” said
the Captain, as he lounged off with a friend.
The wells here are the marvel of all mar
vels to oil men. No such prolific territory
has ever been tapped since the Drake well
first disclosed the possibilities of petroleum
production. There have been wells as large
as these of Cherry Grove, but they have not
been found uniformly through a distance of
four miles, as the gushers have been de
veloped hereabouts. Over the hili south of
Garfield, on lo* 671, Is a well shutdown on
top of the sand, the drill having barely
pierced through the shell which covers the
oil-bearing conglomerate. Tbe well is
plugged, yet occasionally It makes a 30-
barrel flow of a quarter hour’s duration.
When It Is supplied wlih tankage it will be
opened up, ad its capacity will only be
limited by that of the pump which is ex
pected to carry away its production.
Four and rnj-half oitles northeast of this
well, on lot 611, is the gusher of the Forest
Oii Company, which Is flowing a steady
sti earn of oil at the rate of one hundred
barrels an hour, although drilled but five
feet into the sand. Between these two
wells, for a width of two miles certainly,
and probably four or five miles, every well
struck may be expected to start off at a
one thousand barrel rate. The northern
and southern limits of the field are likely to
be the Roth aud Crowell well on the north
and lot 682 or 695 on the south. The former
lot is the source of Minister Kud, which U
lined-on either bank by dry holes.
Altogether, about 110 rigs up and wells
drilling is the estimate for the status of this
field on July 1 Many of these rigs belong
to wealthy oil companies, and the wells will
not be drilled as yet. Much of the territory
Is cut up into five-acre lots, on which the
lessee is charged a thousand dollars an acre
bonus, aud one fourth of all the oil pro
duced. Even at thl§ extravagant price the
land is eagerly snapped up. Yesterday
$12,000, with royalty of one-half the oil
produced, was paid by a prominent Titus
ville producer for twelve acres of lot 619,
on which is situated the great Murphy
gusher. This man will put down two wells.
By the time they are finished, if no accident
happens, the property will have cost him
$20,000. So that the two wells must produce
40,000 barrels 50 cent oil clear before he can
realize a dollar of profit on his investment.
The older oil men shake their heads over
such problems, and say that all previous
experience of territory like this has been
that it does not last. The oil is in a loose
conglomerate, which rapidly exhausts itself.
Ia ninety days, they claim, the wells will
fall off at a rapid rate, and each completed
producer will accelerate the decline. But
a, yet these croakers find few hearers among
the oil men, who are pushing the drill with
a vigor never before displayed. The pro
gramme Is to get down to the oil bearing
rock, then put up tankage, get in a pipe
line connection, and an hour’s work with
the drill does the rest. After the wells begin
flowing strongly It Is impossible to remove
tbe tools, ana they are allowed to remain
suspended at the bottom of the hole
The burning well of the Anchor 0:1 Com
pany, on lot 647, about half a mile from
Garfield, has ceased to be a novelty, but the
sight Is still grand and impressive. The
solid stream of oil spurts from five to ten
feet above the casing-head before it ignites,
when it flashes into a sheet of flame of gi
gantic dimensions, surmounted by a pall of
dense black smoke that rises almost to the
summer clouds. The heat is so Intense that
no one can approach within thirty feet of
the well. Jefferson Morrison has contracted
to extinguish the fire within ten days for $3,
600 worth of oil, $2,500 In cash and SI,OOO a
day for each day less than ten from the time
when the work began. His success Is
doubtful, at least until the production of
the well, now 2,800 barrels dally, has great
ly fallen off. The burning of these inces
santly flowing wells is anew problem to
this generation of oil-operators, who watch
the experiments of the Anchor Oil Company
with anxious eyes, thinking that it may be
their turn next. The Grant well, near
Rouseville, which was burned in 1865 while
gushing 2,200 barrels a day, was extinguish
ed by heaping earth in a huge pile over the
mouth of tne well. But suen a remedy
would avail nothing here because of the im
mense quantity of gas which escapes with
the oil. %

dets of 1 861—Only llitee Survivors.
Atlanta, June 27.—1n my researches after
official data to aid me in completing and per
fecting my “Roster of Confederate Generals,"
and “ Georgia's Army Record for a Century " I
have discovered that not a ew prominent
citizens of this State were, in their earlier
years, cadets at the United States Military
Academy at West’Poinr, N. Y., but failed to
finish the course of study and become gradu
ates.
Some of the'm retired from the institution
because of ill health or physical defects, or
other good and sufficient reasons; some for
being ‘-found deficient.” It is, however, no re
flection on a man to say that he failed in his
studies at West Point, for I have in ray mind
several such irorn other States who sub
sequently became eminent scholars and able
divines, a few securing and worthily wearing
the degree of Doctor of Divinity or Doctor of
Laws.
Of Georgia’s quota of Cadets who failed to
graduate many bear, or did bear in life, names
that have honored the history of our State. A
glance at the following official list, furnished
me by General John M. Schofield, U. H. A,
while Superintendent of the Academy, will

I have no means of knowing how many of
the above named cadets were born in this
State, the record only showing that they were
appointed from Georgia.
Nor do I know how many Georgians were
appointed “at-large.” I have thus far recog
nized but one. Cadet Peyton 11. Colquitt,
brother of Gov. Colquitt, who entered the late
war as Captain of the Columbus Light Guards,
in the Second Georgia Battalion, and feli at
Chickamauga, as Colonel of the Forty-Sixth
Georgia Infantry. He was a cultured gentle
man and a chivalrous soldier.
Oniy three Cadets appear to have been re
appointed and faffed the second time—Richard
W, Habersham, Richard M. Williams and Wal
ton Ector.
I have been able to trace the history of but
few of tne cadets in this list. Dr. James Camak
is bow a successful and honored physician in
Athens; Hon. Mark A. Hardin is clerk of the
House of Representatives, and resides in At
lanta; Gen. M. A. Stovail, who left West Point
on account of feeble health, was a distin
guished Confederate General, and is now
a prominent citizen of Augusta; Judge John
A, Campbell was a Justice of the United States
Supreme Court and Secretary or War of the
Confederate States for a short time. He is now
a very distinguished lawyer in New Orleans.
Cadet Pleiades O. Lumpkin was a son of Gov
ernor Wilson Lumpkin, and left West Point on
account of feeble health. He became a planter
in Texas, and died while yet a young man.
Samuel I. Koockogey was the first white child
born in Columbus, and was a son of the vener
able and well known Samuel I. Koockogey, who
recently died in Talbotton. He went to Texas
after leaving West Point, and is supposed to
have died there.
Hon. Junius Wingfield left West Point on ac
count of his health. He became an eminent
lawyer and public citizen, and died at Eatonton
in 1872. His son was in the last Georgia Legis
lature from Putnam county.
Capt. Lewis H. Kenan was n son of the Hon.
Augustus H. Kenan, and became Captain in the
First Georgia Regulars in the late war He was
a lawyer at Milledgeville, and died in 1872.
Cadet William Pitt Beers Tefft was a mer
chant in Savannah, I am informed, and died
before the late war. Dr. Richard W. Haber
sham resides in Augusta, and is a frequent
contributor (“R. W. H.”) to the press. Henry
Slappy Glover, Jr., is a son of the late Post
master at Macon, H. S. Glover, Sr., and was
the popular delivery clerk in that office. He
now lives in Atlanta.
Hon. John Jones.was a Captain in the Mexi
can war, and was State Treasurer of Georgia
during Governor Smith’s administration. He
is now living in Atlanta. Colonel Charles J.
Williams was a Major in the Mexican war,
after that a prominent lawyer in Columbus.
He became the gallant commander of the '
First Georgia Regulars in the late war, and
died while in the service. His widow, a most
estimable and accomplished lady, now dead,
first suggested the Southern “Decoration
Day.”
A classmate of his tells me that Cadet Har
rison Herndon went to Texas from his home in
Rome, and subsequently represented that
State in Congress. Of the other cadets I he ve
no information at this writing, having failed in
all my efforts to so loca'e them as to be able
to trace out any of their relatives.
I have not included in the above list those
cadets at the Point in 1861. because they re
signed to enter the Confederate service, and
for this purpose alone sacrificed the honor of
graduating. Georgia had eight cadets who
thus retired.
Of that number Cadet James Barrow, of
Athens, brother of Hon M. Pope Barrow,
member of the last Legislature from Clarke
county, served as Adjutant of the Sixteenth
Georgia, then as Assistant Adjutant General to
General Howell Cobb, and lastly, as the heroic
Lieutenant Colonel of the Sixty-Fourth Geor
?;ia, at the head of which command he gallantly
eil at the battle of Olustee.
Cadet Pierce M. B. Young, of Bartow county,
rose to the rank of Major General, and was a
dashing cavalry commander. Since the war
he has represented his district in Congress,
and was the Georgia Commissioner to the Paris
Exposition. Cadet Edward 8 Willis, of Savan
nah, also became a Brigadier General, and was
killed at Spottsylvania. He was one-of Geor
gia’s youngest and most heroic Generals, and
an accomplished soldier
Cadet Thomas J. Bruton, of Bainbridge, was
in the artillery service of the Confederacy.
After the war he married and settled in Bain
bridge. His health was feeble, and he died
within ten vears after the surrender. He was
a brother of Mr. Augustus Biuton, who died of
yellow fever in Savannah. Cadet Joseph G.
Blount was an efficient artillery commander
during the war, and at its close became en
gaged in manufacturing in Columbus. He
died several years ago.
Cadet John A. (A.) West, (supposed to have
been born In Alabama) was an artillery officer
during the war, and is now Principal of the
Richmond Academy, in Augusta. Cadet Mat
thew F. Nunnally was also an artillery officer
in the war, and was killed in service. Cadet
Joseph A. Alexander, of Atlanta, likewise en
tered the artillery branch of the Confederate
service. He now resides in this city, and is a
capitalist.
If any of the cadets above mentioned, or
their relatives or friends for them, desire to
corrector add to what I have written thus
briefly, they can address me at the Markham
House, Atlanta, Ga., on the subject. I propose
to put the record into a permanent form, and
desire to have it as full and correct as possible.

THE EGTPTIAN CRISIS.
Sketch of the Character and Career
of Arab! Bey-Egyp’* Four Politi
cal Division*.
Achmet Arabl Bey is undoubtedly the
strongest man In EgypL By birth be is a
fellah, or peasant. He entered the army as
a private and worked his way to the front
against jealousies and all the unprincipled
schemes envious persons could throw in his
course. He was dismissed from the army
on a dubious charge of corruption by a jeal
ous War Minister. Subsequently he was re
instated, and still later, on account of his
boldness In thought and utterance and great
popularity, he was made sub-Mlulster of
War in the hope of silencing him. It
proved a failure, however, aud he has beeu
constantly growing in power. As
soon as he entered the War Office
he ousted the Christian, Jewish and
Coptic clerks. He is ambitious,
restless, contentious, and will permit his ill
balanced zeal to Uind bis judgment, and
remain so until his country is invaded and
occupied by England and Franee. The
Egyptian people are all with Arabl Bey in
whatever he undertakes. His unfaltering
constancy to Mohammedanism has gained
the priests as his firm supporters, and has
gained him perfect control over the people,
being capable of influencing them in asy
wav Arabl Bey might suggest. Arabl is
looked upon by the Egyptian as thesavhr
of his country. As to the condition of the
army of Egypt, the artillery is supplied
with Krupp breech-loading guns, the In
fantry with the finest Remington rifles, and
the cavalry with carbines and sabres.
Throughout the army Is well equipped, dis
ciplined and in good condition. This is
entirely attributable to General Btone. For
some time past Arabi Bey has been recruit
ing the army, and the number will probably
reach fifty thousand. The Bedouin Arabs
are fast friends and admirers of Arabl Bey.
In a brief period he can have in the field
from seventy five thousand to one hundred
and twenty five thousand men. Of these
Arabs, the Bedouins are not subject to mili
tary service or compulsory labor. They are
allowed many privileges under the govern
ment which are not accorded to the Egyp
tians themselves.
The main feature of the excellence in the
Badouins Is their remarkably rapid move
ments. Tney can make an attack, get away
In great haste, fly to the hot deserts, and
live there for many days. A European and
many Egyptians cannot stand the heat cf
the desert at all, and cannot follow the fly
ing Arabs over the hot sand. The Bedouit s
could swoop down on Cairo or Alexandria,
sack them, and be away before many per
sons could realize what had taken place.
The harbor of Alexandria is admirably cov
ered with at least twenty forts and batteries,
having about two hundred heavy guns.
The city is walled. On the land eide the wall
Is forty feet in height, with a dry ditch along
the outside. There are four or five f irts
outside the walls also. Not only these, but
the great wall likewise, is mounted with
powerful guns, capable of doing terrible
work if properly manned. There are In
Alexandria fifty thousand foreigners. The
people are of the most cosmopolitan charac
ter imaginable. There are among the resi
dents of Alexandria representatives of
almost every locality in Europe and a
greater part of Asia as well. There are not
more than fifty Americans in all Egypt. It
is almost impossible for harmony to prevail
on any issue in Egypt. There is such a
mixed population anu various peoples,some
of whom are little better than savages, and
have different, and in some instances radi
cally different, views on particular subjects.
A few years ago in the Egyptian army there
were ten Americans. But the feeling
against foreigners became such that all
have been dismissed except General Stone,
and it has been made so unpleasant for him
that he has tendered his resignation.
Politically, the Egyptians may be divided
Into four classes: 1. Arabl and the officers.
They are ready to use the name of the Sul
tan or of liberty in order to attain their
own ends, which are to acquire place and
wealth. 2. The educated youth of Egypt.
These young men, with some reason, com
plained that the officials connected with the
control were poorly paid, and that in all
cases Europeans were preferred to Egyp
tians, and their protests ought to meet with
due consideration. 3. The Bedouins. These
Arabs hate the Turks, and entirely Ignore
the Sultan. They care very little whether
the finances are under European or Egyp
tian control, and they are perfectly satisfied
with the Khedive. 4. The Faliahs. These
constitute the agricultural inhabitants of
tae Delta and Nile valley. Their object is
to be allowed to live and thrive. They are
hard working and patient, and their
strongest passion is to acquire money.
Egypt supplied the world with 417,000
bales of cotton in 1880-’Bl. The Egyptian
supply to date in the current crop year is
417,571 bales. In 1879-’BO is 460,647 for a
corresponding period. In all, the cotton
supply from Egyp: runs from 400,000 to
590,000 ka es annually, with a rising
tendency. This is about as much as
the cotton productionof Louisiana.
Everybody knows where the to ton
market would be if it were to be telegraph
ed that a mob in New Orleans bad killed 800
or 400 people, and that Industry was disor
ganized all over the State. Yet as far as the
general cotton supply of the world is con
cerned, this has taken place in Egypt. The
supply fiom there is only one-twentieth of
the total world supply, but in price a twen
tieth, more or less, count, as southern specu
lators found when half their deficit of 1,000,-
000 bales was made up from Egypt. Unless
peace comes soon it will not this year.

The I‘all Mall Gazette gives the following
sketch of the division of sentiment among
the Irish members of Parliament: There
are twenty-five Irish Conservatives lu the
House of Commons. Every man of them
voted against the closure. All but two of
them voted against Mr. Bradlaugh. Twenty
one-of them voted against the censure of
the House of Lords. But they have never
mustered more than sixteen strong in sup
port of their views on Irish questions. There
were nine absentees on both the first read
ing and the second reading of the coercion
bill; yet on no other Irish votes were there
so many Irish Conservatives in the lobby.
An analysis of the Irish vote in the more im
portant divisions of the session brings into
strong relief the political apathy of the
party. Excepting on the first reading
of the coercion bill, the Parnellites
have commanded a majority of the Irish
members on every important Irish division
this session. On one occasion their majority
has swelled by the votes of twenty-one
Irish Conservatives, but In other cases they
owed their predominance to the absence of
their natural opponents. The motion for
the second reading of the arrears bill was
the only division in which more than one
half the Irish members found themselves in
the same lobby. Five times more than half
the Irish members were absent. With the
exception of three divisions on the coercion
bill, there have never been more than an
eighth of the Irish members voting against
Land Leaguers. Even on the coercion
bill the highest vote on the other side was
3 1 out of a total of 103,. The meaning of
these figures is only too obvious. As a par
liamentary force the Parnellites sre the only
party that need seriously to be reckoned
with. As for the Irish Conservatives, thev
can neither be roused to vote agslnst Home
Rule or to vote for coercion. So far as the
House of Commons is concerned, the chosen
champions of landlordism seem to have
abandoned the fight. ye
THE GREAT STAPLE.
Review of the Cotton Situation
£o*4ol of ilio Egyptian Troubles—
“A Corner” and Higher Prices
Predicted.
Correspondence Nets York Sun.
Egyptian affairs created last week a mo
mentary boom in our cotton market, but.
the movement was speedily fqaelched hr
one or two big manipulating Aims, whSm
aim is to keep prices down, and, if possible,
to c reate a short interest before they have
accumulated all the cash cotton they want.
The movement was, however, sufficiently
pronounced to interest outsiders, and to
dispose them to take a flyer on the bail
side. Speculation in cotton hae, in the eyes
of scrupulous meD, the advantage over
speculation in grain and provisions, that It
does not enhance the price of the poor
man’s food at home, but merely tenu to
result la higher prices for the produce of
American soil abroad. That under the
present circumstances cotton has a fair
chance for a considerable advance seems to
be evident frera the following facts and
figures:
The average Egyptian crop is 425,000
bales of 629 pounds per bale, which is e**al
to 600,000 American bales c. vbO mv
This cotton rules in the European miVb
about a cent per pound higher
American cotton. How much of the EfifH
tian crop will be saved from destruction
this year It la difficult to tell, but a cabltwf
dispatch from Alexandria announced jgi
Wednesday last that "the cotton crops o£
Efypt are ruined, and that it is difficult to
see what can prevent a famine." Leaving
the sea island crop, at all times but a veyr
small one, out of consideration, our gulf
long staple la the best substitute for the
Egyptian cotton. Some of the Lancashire
factories work only the long sta
ple cotton, and will have to shut
up in case the Egyptian crop proves '
a| {J total loss, or our supply Is
not large or fine enough. The supply from .
the East Indies shows an increase of 370,000
bales over last year, but East Indian cotton ,
cannot be worked at all by the European
machinery without an admixture of at least
60 per cent, of American cct oa. Yarn ma i
from the short staple India cotton is

This would .eave the United
the Ist of October next with a
hand of 237,550 bales, against a stochJM
hand on the same date last year of 1,287
bales. Our supply must accordingly sbowH
this year a shortage of over 1,000,000 bales, V
even it no unfavorable influences affect the 1
cultivation between now and the close of 1
the season. ■
As far as the prospects of the crops go. It
must be borne in mind that the spring floods i
in the most productive sections of the Gulf 1
States reduced the acreage and delayed the J
planting for three weeks. The cold weather ■
following upon the floods retarded tb ■
growth of the plant throughout the whole
ton belt, rendering replanting In many sec- l
tions an absolute necessity. Good crops r. '
quire the plant to start with a good sta* J
early in May. The tardiness of the pres*, • A
season exposes the plant to further danp
of drought and early frosts. JOB
Although cotton has occasionally So." MA
late as low as 10 cents a pound, it is
considered dear nowadays between 11 and I
12 cents, according to the length of options J
In 1870, Morton & Bliss put it as high as 27®
cents. The highest figures the advance of 1
last week put the cash cotton to was 12}£ I
cents, but half a cent was lost at the ciof m
of the week. 1j
All the indications are therefore that J
American cotton must command higher
prices in the near future. But this produee
of American soil is quite as much subject
to speculative manipulation as are grain and
provisions, and it appears that the manipu
lators in one case are as strong and unscru
pulous as they are in the other. A leading
firm of this city, practically controlling the
A merican as well as the English market, Is
known to hold over 80,000 bales of actual
cotton in storage. Yet its representative!
are talking bearish, are hammering the mar
ket down all the time, nnd are advising the
spinners in Europe, and especially
In Germany, to wait for lower prices. The
purpose of the game is evidently to crea’e a
short interest and to accumulate more stuff}
at low figures. When this is accomplished .■
