Macon, July I.—The Junior exhibition on
Tuesday night brought out a large portion of
the elite and fashion of Macon, and again was
Masonic Hall crowded to the utmost. Good
order prevailed, and the speeches of the young
gentlemen betrayed much, thought and re.
search, and in some instances decided origi
nality and power. The programme was as
follows:

REMARKS.
Mr. A. B. Perdue drew a graphic picture of
the fancied golden age of the South, when her
swift flowing streams shall ali be utilized for
manufacturing purposes, and her barren old
fields and hilhides teem with thrift and abun
dance under the magical effect of enlightened
agriculture.
The wretched “policy of protection” was
forcibly depicted by Mr T. H Northern, who
showed himself well acquainted with the true
principles of political economy as enunciated
oy Adam Smith, Puffetnlorf and M. Say. Pro
tection, he said, should be assured by govern
ment to person and property, but this should
ba construed to mean protection to the greatest
numDer of the community. There should be
no class legislation. Abstractly construed, “the
cause of protection is the cause of monopoly.”
Under the present tariff only about five per
c-nt. of the people were benefited at the
cost snd charges or the remaining 95 per cent.
The fundamental law of perfect equality in
the imposition of taxes should obtain in all
cases, and never be departed from.
Mr. J. Courtney Browne's address on the
“El quence of Decay,” was truly beautiful
an 1 pathetic. The enunciation of the speaker
was clear and distinct, his thoughts well con
sidered and expressive, and his delivery grace
ful and impressive
Mr H C. Hoote-i in discoursing upon the
“Old and the New,” contrasting the farming of
ante helium times when planters own* and mules
“by the herd,” ana cultivated a principality of
land, with the intensive culture of the modern
farm. The conclusion was largely In favor of
the latter, and the importance of education to
the agriculturist was forcibly set forth
The “New Craze” was the theme of Mr. Mar
cus H Brown. Jr., and Oscar Wilde and his
new fangied theo ies received a well deserved
castigation at his hands.
At the conclusion of his oration, as if in utter
defiance of the strictures of th speaker, a
huge sunflower plant, decked wKh scores of
blooms, was cast upon the stage. Such is the
fate of the reformer in this fast and de-
generate age.
Mr. Hall, in a fine vein of sarcasm, showed
the folly of young Am-nca politicians, as
manifested in their attempts to retire the tried
statesmen and sages of the country to make
way for their own fledglings. No allusion
whatever was made to Mr. Stephens, but the
moral and its application were unmistakable.
Tn England a statesman seldom ripens into
full mturity until pact three score and ten.
Mr Cox proved conclusively that the average
gmmb'er was not a bad mao, but simply in
dulges in the habit of finding fault as a special
and peculiar luxury.
Mr. Hinton paid his respects to the editor
But, while his speech was well written and
even brilliant, he utterly failed to do justice to
the subject.
On the whole the junior exhibition was fully
the equal of any ever witnessed at a Mercer
commencement.
The address of Rev. W. W. Landrum in pre
s-nting the sophomore medals was'an admira
ble admixture of humor, good sense and true
eloquence.
COXUENCKKKXT DAY.
The attendance of merchants, professional
men and citizens upon the closing exercises of
the university was general, and evinces the
,i,-.,t> iatereer of iAs dommuoity in the welfare
of theTr-tfVßfrb
The several orations of the young gentlemen
were well considered and gracefully delivered
One unusual merit was their brevity.
They spoke as follows:
Clem r. Steed. C. S (Sec >nd Honor], Bibb
crunty. Ga : "Latin Salutatory.”
Franklin B. Gregory, C. 8, Stewart county,
Gp.: “The New Literature.”
Janies T. Ross. P. D. S.. Houston county,
Ga.: “The game is done! I've won. I’ve won.”
Rufus E. Marrow. P. D. 8., Burke county,
Ga.: “The truly great msn ”
John P. Ross, P. D. S„ Houston county, Ga.:
“Expediency.”
Walter M. Ryals. O. S , Bartow county, Ga.:
“The coming man.”
Valedictories by Arthur H Mcßryde, of Bibb
county, who bore away the “First Honor ”
Mr. Steed's salutatorv(Latin) was delivered
with the action and volubility of a French
man. and brought down the house.
Mr. J P. lo s while orating upon “Ex
pediency” tou hed the Georgia Independent
to the “raw.” Mr. Marrow made one of the
best addresses of toe day.
Mr. Reals showed that “moral courage” is
the highest requirement of the “coming man.”
The valedictory was well conce ved, true
and appropriate. In short, ail of the young
men did well, but lack of time and space will
prevent the elaboration of the writer's notes
upon esob literary eflirt.
President Battle’s baccalaureate address was
a model of excellence, and his kind admo
ui'ions, couched in chaste and elegant lan
guage. will long be remembered by the seven
teen young gladiators who go forth to encouu
ter a world in arms.
In addition to the B. A’s, several honorary
degspes were conferred, some in course and
others by srecial award. We were unable to
procure a correct list of the same.
Tnus terminated Mercer commencement,
which has added new laurels to her fame.
INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE
On Wednesday evening the long expected
forensic passage at arms between three picked
dehatatits cf Mercer and the State Universities
came < ff, with the venerable Judge Bleckley
as un pire.
“Resolved, that there sb'uld be a property
qualification for suffrage," was the ques ion
selected for discussion. Athens espoused the
affirmative through her three talented repre
sentatives, Messrs H. H. Phiuizy, H. V. Wash
ington and P. H. Bell.
Mercer’s champions were C. P. Steed, John
P Ross and H. H. Kilpatrick.
The debate was very able and protracted
until after midnight. Public opinion is div.ded
as to which side was entitled the victory, but
the ex-Judge of the Supreme Court settled the
matter by a brief decisi in in favor of the
negative. To the writer it seemed to be a
drawn battle.
TUB OCTLOOK OF MERCER UNIVERSITY
is very gratifying to the friends of education
in Georgia. Th" past year has been one of in
creas'd prosperity- to the institution, and sig
nalized by the diligence and good order of the
students and their uninterrupted good health.
In point of numbers the roll shows an attend
arcs of 108, against 96 for the p-eceding year.
The list might have been increased but for the
rigid requirements of admission into any of
the classes.
Id estimating these figures i( should be borne
in mind that Mercer has no “sub-freshman”
class or primary department. Her students
are all of i he full college grade, hence no com
parison can be instituted with Emory, and
other institutions, whose catalogues are swol
len by the names of the children who are in
training for future matriculation.
In this connection, also, it is proper to state
that despite the free tu tion of the
State University and i’s numerous
branches, to say nothing of the public high
schoolfwb'ci abound in our cities, the pay
students of Mercer University have increased
33 per cent, within the past year. What better
evidence could be adduced of the high appre
c ation of this noble literary foundation f
Again, it is a noteworthy fact that the pres
ent freshman class numbers thirty-one ma
triculates against nine at the same date the
preceding year. This shows real and substan
tial progress.
In the Isst decade, which covers the adminis
tration of President Bittle, with the exception
of the ever memorable visitation of meningitis
in the season of 1872-’7B, which literally oec:-
mated th unfortunate students, who were
crowded in four small rooms of the M*s Hall
for inst uction,’he health of the University has
been perfect. Indeed, the records of the world
might be challenged to show by th • bills of
mortality a healthier site than upon which
Mercer University is located.
THE MORALS OF THE I'STITCTION.
In the ten years alluded to, not a single
student has been dismissed from college for
had or immoral conduct Several have been
disciplined for various oflenses. but upon due
repentance and satisfactory acknowledg
ments were reinstated. Only two cases of
intoxication have transpired which were sum
marily dealt with, and it is hoped and liilieved
that the offense will not be repeated.
Jn one instance only has a student been
arraigned before the city authorities for the
firing of a pistol at a dangerous dog, which
surely was a venial offense.
TUB GRADUATES OF TUB DECADE.
1872 82 number 195. Ia addition, the degree
cf Bacheior of Science has been conferred
upon 6 gentlemen, and 24 have received
the degree of Bachelor of Law. This gives
a total of 219 graduates of the
University for the past ten years—an average
of 2! per aouura. Who can estimate the
amount of go id these educated sons of Geor
gia will achieve for their dear cld mother?
Of the above graduates, 43 have embraced
the legal profession, 36 are c erks, sales
men and bookkeepers. 38 school teach
ets, 3 Presidents and Professors in col
leges. 19 ministers of the gospel. 13 physi
cians. 17 farmers. IS merchants, 6 editors, 3
United States officials. 3 students in technical
schools, manufacturers 1, unknown 7—total
2u3, inclusive of the 17 composing the present
graduating class. This is a glorious saowing
indeed. Time is up and Uncle Sam's mail

Two Per Cent. Bonds-The JTaval
Appropriation Bill—NonMnatlous
and ConflimtHoni—The Skeleton
of (inlteau to Adorn a Museum.
Washington, July 1. —In the House, Mr,
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, asked unanimous
consent to report from the Committee of
Ways and Means a joint resolution au
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
Issue 2 per cent, bonds or certificates in ex
change for bonds bearing a higher rate of
interest. He said that, it wa3 prepared
under the auspices of the Secretary of the
Treasury. The resolution was passed.
It is as follows : “That the Secretary of the
Treasury be and hereby is authoriz'd and
empowered, lu ills discretion, to Issue bonds
or certificates of indebtedness of the United
States in such form (being SSO or multiples
thereof) as he shall see fit, to the amount
of not more in the aggregate than $200,-
000,000, bearing Interest at the rate
of 2 per cent., payable half yearly,
and the principal and accrued interest
payable at any time at the option
of the United States. He shall issue them
only In exchange for obligations of the
United States bearing a higher rate of inter
est than 2 per cent, per annum at the par
value of the several obligations exchanged.
The bonds or certificates of Indebtedness
he;eby authorized snail not be redeemed
until the bonds of the United States bearing
a higher rate of interest, and which
are also payable at the option
of the government, shall have
first been paid off, or the called bonds or
certificates hereby authorized shall be called
tn for uayment i "yverse order to that in
which they shall he beeD issued, and in
such sums at eac Call as the Secretary of
the Treasury mat They may be
used by the banking associations
as security for the payment, and redemption
of their circulating notes and by national
bank depositors as security for deposits with
them of nubile moneys at the same rates
and subject to the same regulations
as other obligations of the government
are now received and held for these pur
poses respectively. They shall be re
deemable at the Treasury of the United
States tn coin of the present standard value,
and the interest thereon shall be payable in
that coin atfthat place. They shall he ex
empt from all taxes or duties of the United
States and from taxation in any form by or
under municipal or local authority. Noth
ing herein contained shall be held or con
strued to authorize any increase whatever
of the funded deb’ of the United States.”
Mr. Koeson, of lowa, a-iked to have put
upon Its passage the bill providing that
duties on imported sugar deposited in
bonded warehouses shall be paid oa the
quantity delivered from warehouse instead
of on the quantity entering into it, but ob
jection was made.
At 12 o’clock the House went into com
mittee of the whole (Mr. Page, of
California, in the chair), and
resumed consideration of the naval
appropriation bill, the question bdug on an
amentlment offered by Mr. Calkins, of In
diana, to strike out the provisions in regard
to promotion to the grade of Rear Admiral.
An amendment offered by Mr. Blount, of
Georgia, to strike our the clause providing
for a board to fill a vacancy in the grade
of Rear Admiral was adopted, and the
clause was stricken out,
Oa motion of Mr. Billing, of New Hamp
shire, the following was inserted in
the bill: “That whenever, on an inquiry
had pursuant to law concerning the fitness
of an officer of the navv for promotion, it
shall appear that, such officer is unfit to per
form at sea the duties of the place to which
It is proposed to promote him, by reason of
drunkenness, or from any cause arising
f rom his own misconduct or want of capac
ttv not ctnwa *>v or in const quence of the
performance of his duty, lie atiail not be
placed on the retired list of the navy, and
he snail be discharged.”
[ On motion of Mr. Talbott, of Maryland,
the following was also Inserted: “That no
officer shall be promoted except his mental,
moral and professional fi’ness has bean es
tablished accordlug to the provision of sec
tion 143*5 of the Revised Statutes.”
On motion of Mr. Knott.of Kentucky, the
words “after July Is", 1883,” were added to
the proviso “that no more promotions to
the grade of Commodore shall be made.”
Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, made argu
ment in favor of retaining the grade of
Commodore, and in favor of promotion by
seniority.
On motion of Mr. Hiscock, of New York,
the remainder of the provision was also
struck out. It provided for allowing Ctm
modores over whom juniors In rank are
promoted to be placed on the retired list
with the rank of Rear Admiral; also, mak
ing laws for retiring other naval ofliiers
apply to Admiral and Yice Admira’; also,
allowing officers who have received the
thanks of C-mgress full pay until they will
have been fifty-five years in service.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, moved to strike
out the words “bv selection” in this clause,
“provided that hereafter all promotions to
the grade of Rear Admiral on the active
list shall be made by selection from the
grades of Commodore and Oapta'n ”
After discussion, Mr. Blount’s motion was
agreed to, and the wotds “by selection”
were stricken out
Mr. Robeson offered an amendment con
fining the actual list of Lieutenants in the
navy to two hundred, and providing that no
promotion to that rank shall be made until
the number is reduced below two hundred.
Adopted.
When the question of navy yards was
reached serat discussion ensued, and it
was passed over, but it was
again brought up in connection with an
amendment by Mr. Reagan to except the
Pensacola navv yard from the provision au
thorizing the Secretary of the Navy to close
the navy yards that are not required for
public service. The amendment was re
jected.
Mr. Whltthorne, of Tennessee, offered an
amendment requiring the Secretary of the
Navy to report to Congress at i‘s next ses
sion, giving facts and reasons governing bis
action in closing the navy yards. Adopted.
The Item of $1,750,000 for the Bureau of
Construction and Repairs having been
reached, Mr. Reed, of Maine, offered an
amendment to strike out the words “re
stricting to $400,000 the amount to be ap
plied to the repairs of wooden ships;” also
providing that no money shall be applied to
the repair of any wooden ship where the
expense of such repair shall exceed 30 per
cent, of the estimated cost of anew vessel
of the same size and like materia). No
action was taken on the amendmen’, but
on the suggestion of Mr. Robeson, of New
Jersey, the clauses for the Bureau of Cos -
structlon and Repair and the Bureau of
Steam Engineering were passed over for
the present as likely to give rlee to a long
discussion, and the rest of the bill was pro
ceeded with.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to strike
out the words “unless the President of the
United States shall otherwise direct
In writing,” from the clause pro
hibiting the sale of any vessel for less than
its appraised value. Adopted.
The bill having been concluded, with the
exceotion of the portions reserved as above,
Mr. Harris, of Massachusetts, asked to have
printed in the Record two amendments,
which he proposed to offer to the clauses
for the Bureaus of Construction and Re
pairs and Bteam Eagineering.
The committee then rose.
Oa motion of Mr. Tucker, of Virginia,
the bill. to repeal so much of section 3385
of tbe Revised Statutes as imp -sea tax on
tobacco was taken up and passed.
The Speaker laid before the House a mes
sage fom the President, returning without
his approval the bill to regulate
tbe carriage of passengers by sea.
While expressing his entire sympathy
with the objects of the bill, he
points out three serious defects In it.
First, in the use of words “uppermost
decks,” ignoring entirely all reference to
the apar deck, with which almost all large
modern vessels are provided. The second—
a requirement of seven clear feet of height
between decks, and the third is a require
ment of a list of passengers being
furnished before the vessels e’ear.
This would b 8 impracticable In
case of steamers, new passengers
coming on board up to the last moment.
The practical result of the law would be to
subject all ocean steamers to great loss and
to restrict Immigration. A good bill of the
same character, correctly phrased, would
receive his prompt assent as a public neces
sity acd blessing. The message went over
as unfinished business, and the Hjuse at 5
p. m. adjourned.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate, on motion of Mr. Kellogg
the bill was passed authorizing tbe New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad to con
struct bridges over the channels of Pearl
river and Lake Pontchartrain.
Tbe Senate resumed, la commtttee of
the whole consideration of the legis
lative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill. A long discussion ensued
upon an amendment offered by Mr. Morgan,
Increasing the salaries of certain clerks In
tbe General Land office, In the course of
whltii Mr. Morgan criticised tbe action of
•ie <' mmifctee on Appropriations upon the
t. -
- -.A dm* -htjw-'T* .xfc .
Mr. Beck, in replying, said that he would
resign as a member of the committee in
favor of the gentleman from Alabama.
Mr. Morgano-I accept.
Mr. Beck (seriously)—l tender my resig
nation, and ask for tne appointment of the
gentleman from Alabama at his own re
quest.
Mr. Voorhees suggested that it was no
time to swap herses in crossing a stream,
and the presiding officer declined to accept
the resignation on the ground that it was
not now in order, as the Senate was engaged
in other business.
The amendment was ruled out on a point
of order. The bill, as amended, was then
reported to the Senate and passed.
The Senate then, in committee of the
whole, proceeded to the consideration of
tbe general deficiency appropriation bill.
The bill was considered without interrup
tion until 4:10 p. m., when the Senate went
into executive session, and when the doors
were reopened adjourned.

AFTER THE DROP.
The execuilon of Guiteau yesterday has
formed the principal topic of conversation
to-day. The derails of the hang'ng were
verv poorly told by the city press last night
and this morning. The people of Washing
ton have been to-day simply getting at the
real story. There is less feeling here
over the execution than in any othei part of
*he country, though the general sentiment
is one of satisfaction that the assassin has
been swung. It is a remarkable fact that
since there has been an expiation on the
gallows the number of people who think
Guiteau was insane has increased fourfold.
You cau hardly find now a man who does
not think tint Guiteau was not wholly sane.
or at. least that he was “a U*l* rnky.”
ThG Is human nature. The body o' the as
sassin will be allowed to remain in its burial
place, a few feet from the scaffold, for some
time. It will then be exhumed quietly, and
the skeleton given to some medical Institu
tion. It will probably be given to the Army
Medical Muslim In this city. In fact,with
out final disposition, that arrangement has
pracriealiv been agreed upon.
Guiteau’s body was buried in the norrii
east corner of the jail at four o’clock this
evening. The body was borne from the
chapel upon the shoulders of six of the jail
prisoners, and, without any ceremony or
service, lowered into the ground. The only
pprsous present were John W. Guiteau, Dr.
Hicks.Wardeu Crocker and son, Mr.Wright,
the undertaker. Ward, the engineer of the
jtil, Depu’v Warden Russ, Capt. Crocker,
and the six prisoners who acted as pall
bearers. *
Congress again attracted a little attention
to-day. The work went along slowly. From
its present, status an adjournment before
the 221 or 25th of July seems to be an im
possibility.
THE POSTAL SERVICE SELF-SUSTAINING.
The “ost Office Department, officials say
that when the final statement of the receipts
and expenditures of the Post Office D >part
ment for the fiscal year ended June 30Sh is
completed it will show that, the postal
service was self-sustaining during the year.
This will be the first year since 1851 In which
tbe receip’s and expenditures of the de
partment have balanced.
THE COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Washington, July 2. —To- in arrow’s ses
sion of the House of Representatives will
be devoted to action upon lnd'vidua! mo
tions to pass bills under suspension of’ the
ruies. and it is expected that a large number
of bills for the erection of public buildings
and other measures of local interest will thus
be offered. An effort will also be
made to pass the bill, which provides for
correcting an error in the Revised Statutes
relative to the duties on knit, goods. Con
sideration of the naval ap, ropriatlon bill will
be resumed at the f Rowing session, and,
unless the House retuset to adjourn over
the Fourth of July, this bill will, doubtless,
in all probability be passed by Tuesdsy
evening. It will otherwise consume Wed
nesday’s se-sioa.
The fundry civil appropriation bill is to
be brought before the House immediately
afterwards, and is expected to occupy the
remainder of the legislative week.
The Republican Caucus Committee on
the Order of Business intend to endeavor to
procure action on the South Carolina con
tested election case of Smalls vs. Tillman
as soon as the sundry civil bill has been dis-
posed of.
But there is a strong counter disposition
on the part of maoy members of both par
ii*s to embrace the opportunity that will be
offered after the passage of this the last one
of the regular series jf appropriation bills,
to transict tome of tbe miscellaneous busi
ness that has accumulated on the Speaker’s
table and on the calendar of reported bills.
Tbe Senate will to-morrow proceed with
tbe general deficiency bill, and it will prob
ably be passed before adjournment. The
bankruptcy bill will then become the regular
order, but It Is not expected to hold its place
against any additional appropriation bill, or
against tbe House bill for the reduction of
Internal revenue taxation, wblcb will soon
be reported from the Finance Committee.
The Commerce Committee intend to re
port back the river and harbor appropria
tion bill to the Bena!e next Wednesday, In
which event its consideration will be com
menced on Thursday, and the pension ap
propriation bill will be reported during the
week from the Committee on Appropria
tions. The legislative, executive and
judicial appripriatlon bill having now
passed both houses will soon be
placed In tbe hands of a conference
committee for adjustment of points of dif
ference. Tbe bill providing for the exten
sion of the national bank charters,
which is now In conference, will, It
Is believed, obtain final passage and
he 6ent to the President this week.
Tbe conference committee on tbe
Japanese indemnity bill are to hold their
final meeting next Wednesday. Tbe gene
ral opitdon of tbe best informed members
of the House and Senate In regard to the
probable duration of the session now ap
pears to be ’hat Congress will adjourn sine
die on Monday, the 17th Inst., or at leabt
witbin two or three days thereafter.

SAVANNAH, MONDAY, JULY 3, 1882.
IRELAND GAGGED.
THE ROME RULERS DRIVEN OUT
OF THE HOUSE.
An Extraordinary Sitting—Strange
Scenes— Tlits Repression Bill Rail
roaded.
London, July I.—The House of Com
mons, In committee, continued in session
throughout the night on clause 17 of the
repression bill. At 7:30 o’clock this morn
lug, Bir Wm. Harcourt, Home Secretary,
said that time < quivalent to two working
days had been consumed In the discussion
of a clause of secondary importance. It
would be for the House and country to say
whether means must be adopted to end
this state of things.
Mr. Parnell said tbe Home Rule mem
bers would appeal to their countrymen at
home and abroad. He contended that no
opposition could be more reasonably con
ducted against such an atrcclous measure.
At 9:30 o’clock Dr. Lyon Playfair, Chair
man of the committee, said there had been
deliberately planned obstruction to tbe
business of the House.
Biggar, Cillan, Cummins, Dillon, Healy,
Leamy, McCarthy, Moran, T. P. O’Conner,
O’Donnell, Parnell, Power, Redmond, Sex
ton and Sullivan were then suspended and
quitted the House.
At 10:35 o’clock the Chairman reported
that O’Donnell had said that the statement
of tbe Chairman was Infamous.
Right Hon. Hugh C. Childers, Secretary
for War, gave notice that he would move to
consider O’Djnnell’s conduct on Monday,
and It was agreed to take up the matter on
that day.
During the night Dillon defied the gov
ernment to levy a blood tax from poor ten
ants without provok ng a renewal of the
disorders which attended the tithe war.
This is a sample of the discussion
throughout, the night. O’Donnell declared
that Dr. Playfair’s naming him was in
famous, because he had been absent from
the House all night, and was therefore
foully named. The Chairman has sinned
against all the traditions of his office.
Mr. Childers moved a suspension of the
members nam"d, and their suspension was
voted by 126 to 27 amid loud cheers
from all parts of the House, inc ui
ing the Irish numbers. The Speaker en
tered the House, and the proceedings were
reported to him. A member protested that
he had been in tfce II ruse twelve hours,
during which, as far as he was aware,
nritlier Callan nor Moran had spoken,
and they ought not to have been uamrd.
Biggar declared that tbe Chairman ought
to give reasons for his action.
Callan said the Chairman, in declaring
him guilty of obstruction, had stated an
other falsehood.
The motion t s at the named members
withdraw was carried.
The St) >aker proceeded to calrion them
individually to withdraw.
Healy suggested that they all withdraw
together, which they did, Cillan pausing to
shout, “I am suspended on the false report
of a salaried government officer.”
The motion to report progress was re
jected by a vote of 159 to 16. Clause 17
was theD adopted by a vote of 158 to 19.
Clause 18, which declares that persons
guilty of an offense against the act shall be
liable, on summary conviction, to imprl-on
ment with or without hard labor for a term
not exceeding 6lx months, was taken up.
Mr. McCoan, Home Rule number from
Wicklow, moved an amendment reducing
the penalty to three months’ imprisonment.
Mr. Gladstone intimated that it might be
necessary to ask urgency, and that notice
therefor would be given this afternoon.
The Hcu=e at this hour, 2:3] p. m., is still in
session, and likely to sit until midnight.
A fresh relay of members arrived this
morning.
Joseph Cowen gave notice that he would
ask on Monday whether the susDenaion* at
tbe r-fstt rnfmoers were regular.
Clause 18 was then adopted by a vote of
186 to 20.
The government had previously con
sentrd to limit the penalty for attending
proclaimed meetings and for night prowling
to three months in prison, but they opposed
amendments for a reduction in regard to
the other offenses mentioned in the clause,
and those amendments were rejec’e l.
Oi a motion to report progress Sir Wm.
Harcourt stated that the government wished
in the present sitring to go through all the
clauses in the original draft of the bill ex
cept the postponed ones.
Mr. Gladstone stated that on Monday
rules for urgency would be proposed.
Clause 19, relating to the Court of Sum
mary Jurisdiction, was droppid, to be re
placed by an amended clause.
Clause 20. relating to the proclamation of
dis’ricts, was carried bv a vote of 181 to 15
shortly af'er s'x o’clock. Messrs. Leamy,
Leahy and O'Sullivan, Homo Rulers, suc
cessively moved to report progress.
The first motion was rejected by a vote of
172 to 11, aDd the others by similar over
whelming maj <rities.
Upon Mr. Byrne moving that the Chair
man leave the chair, the Chairman warned
the Irish members against such a course of
obstruction.
The motion was rejected by a vote of 175
to 8
Mr. Arthur O'Connor moved to report,
progress. Rejected.
Mr. Kelly moved that the Chairman leave
the chair. --
Tbe Chairman then named Messrs. Bvrne,
Corbett, Gray, Paler. Leahy. A. O’Connor,
O’K-lly, O’Sullivan and Strict, Irish raem
bcs. and their suspension was moved bv
Mr. Gladstone.
Oi the Chairman’s putting the motion for
their suspension tbe named members walked
out of the House. The motion was agreed
to without division, but when the Speaker,
according to rule, appeared to receive t.he
report of proceedings, a division was called
for, and the suspension was confirmed by a
vote of 129 to 7. After the expulsion of
the second group of Irish members all tfce
clauses up to the thirtieth were adopted
without division.
Clause 30, which Is the last of the bill,
and which provides that “this act shall con
tinue iu force until the expiration of three
years next after the passage thereof,” was
adopted by a vote of 69 to 6.
The House adjourned at 8 p. m., having,
with the exception of an Interval of two
hours In last evening’s sitting, been In
session continually for thirty-two hours.

A Horrible scene on a Kentucky
Callow*.
Louisville, Kr., July I.— A special from
Cadiz, Trigg county, says: “Colonel John
Bridges was hung here yesterday in the
presence of the largest crowd that ever as
sembled In this county. At the foot of
tbe gallows tbe doomed man exhibited con
siderable nervousness, but he met tbe or
deal bravely. Bridges took his stand on the
trap, the black cap was drawn over his face,
the noose adjusted, Sheriff Boyd quickly
sprung tbe trap, and with a dull, heavy thud
the body fell. At tbe instant of
the fall the noose slipped, and the
poor wretch struggled terribly, succeeding
In freeing his hands and feet from the cords
with which they bad been pinioned. He
made a desperate struggle to eet upon the
gallows again, but was pushed back and
suffered a horrible death by strangulation.
The drfip fell at exactly 2 20, and In thirty
minutes he was pronounced dead.”

An cddle In Petersburg—Two Sepa*

Petersburg, v 4., July i.-The incom-
Dg Common Council has a Read luster ma
jority. It had its first noting this after
noon and organized. Col. Joseph p Mln .
tree, a leading Readjuster, wa ei ecte j
President and F. R. Russell City Auditor
These officers were elected for terms of two
years. The opening of the session of the
Council was rendered stormy and exciting
by the Democrats and Readjusters, both
calling the Auditor’s roll of members
simultaneously. This led to great disorder.
The election of Col. Miotree was character
ized by the Democratic Councilmen as il
legal and unconstitutional on the ground
that he is a member of the State Board of
Visitors to the Virginia Military
Institute. Mr. Smith, whom the
Democrats elected President of the
Couucil, claimed the right to call the Coun
cil to order, but the Readjuster Councilmen
refused to grant them tne privilege. The
Democratic Councilmen entered a protest
against all rules and ordinances adopted by
the Council. Resolutions repudiating the
action cf the Democratic Council in elect
ing different city officers were adopted. The
R?adjus:er Coutc 1 then elected the police
force and different clly officers, against
which the Democratic Councilmen entered
their protest. The new police corps was
sworn into office this evening. To-night
two separate police forces are on duty.
Petersburg, Va , July 2.— The present
mixed condition of city affairs is tbe gen
eral theme of conversation to day. Further
developments looking toward a final settle
ment of tbe complications are awaited with
great interest. The qnesrion as to who are
tbe legally elected officers cf the city will
be brought before Judge Emann to mor
row. In the meantime both police forces
are patrolling the city. The Demo
cratic police refuse to surrender
the station house to the Readjusters police,
and the latter have made their head
quarters in the city jail. Guards have been
on duty at both places to-day and are
there to night. T. J. Jarrett, the Read
juster Mayor-elect, has not qualifed for
office, and the present Democratic Mayor
will not recogn za the Readjnster police
force, hence no offenders arrested by
them will be tried by him. The Demo
cratic policemen are clothed in the regu'a
tlon uniform, while tne Readjusters are only
recogn zed by a star worn on the lappels of
their coats. The Democrats have employed
additional lawyers to represent them in
court to-morrow, when the legality of the
officers elected to both Councils will be con
sidered.
WHAT IT MEANS.
Texas liidependeotism Huniaaks
Itself.
Galveston, July I.—A special, dated
Fort Worth, June 30, says: “On the reas
sembling of the Greenback State Conven
tion last night the question of the indorse
ment of Congressman Jones for Governor
arose, when a most disgraceful wrangle
ensued. Scores of delegates were on the
floor at, once, all fpeakine and gesticulating
vlolen'ly. Members shook their fists
in tbe Chalrman’6 face, declaring that be
had no right to speak. One member crossed
the floor barking like a dog. Another rang
a bell, and considerable profanity was in
dulged tn. At 12 o’clock, amid great con
fusion, the convention adjourned.
“ This morning, on the question of nomi
nations, discord sprang up and continued for
three hours, and when harmony was re
stored, Gen. Weaver was called for.h and
spoke.
“Immediately after adjournment a ratifica
tion meeting was Held, wuen tbe programme
included speeches ot a more reckless char
acter than ever. Oae speaker said that be
fore he would work for starvation wages he
would steal. Another said that it might be
necessary before the Greenback party was
successful that blood should be shed. He
was ready to shed his blood.
“All the speakers favored working for the
neero vote. About a doz tn speeches were
made. The platform committee reported
indorsing the platform of the party at Chi
cago ot 1880: also, declaring the Democratic
and Republican parties in this State had
outlived their usefulness, and calling upon
the people of the Btate to join the inde
pendent movement. The convention ad
journed. subject to the call of the Chairman
of the Executive Committee.”

Atlanta, July I.—The weather is on a regu
lar jsmboree—in fact everything is broken up
in the way of steady weather. The clerk of
the weather is now “playing thunder" as well
as lightning, too, or three times a day around
Atlanta.
Outsiders get the most of the rain, but we
get plenty of wind, thunder and lightning and
clouds of dust. Trees and signs “swing cor
ners” and dance around pretty lively.
This morning we are having a real cool,
strong breeze, with indications of rain. Yes
v”'day it was too hot to live, but a thunder
s r&- o atne a [ on(c aD Q cooled off the atmos
phere ana th@ dußt
ennor his crowd are correct the
weather promises OTerdlle
board bill-unsettled t„. Mme tjme tocome .
If nothing severer than th* r . fient Btormgii
ahead of us we shall not complain.
Outdoor enterprises flourish, and I h, 6 not
heard of but one ease of prostration from Ue*.
One reason of this is that the hot spells are
cut short bry cloudy weather, and by storms
that pass around or over the city. On the
whole, therefore, we ought not to complain of
“Old Probs” and what he sends us.
Our political atmosphere is just now in the
same stormy and unsettled condition, with
plenty of “thunder and lightning” around in
spots, and “blood in the air." It is hoped,
however, that a clearer and more hopeful con
dition of things will exist after the approach
ing convention.
Blackberries are getting so plentiful bere
that the market is overstocked. Your recen'
editorial on “Blackberries as a Market Crop"
ought to be copied into all the country papers,
and this desirable berry improved by cultiva
tionf.Tne South already sells thousands of dol
lars worth of dried blackberries, and the tusi
ness is extending every season.
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, situated on
Walton street, has had a long and severe
struggle with poverty aDd debt, and now a
verdict of over five hundred dollars against it
for furnishings, which has been kept off for
years, places the property in a very critical con
dition, especially as it. is at present known as
the Bishop’s Cathedral. It is a case that ai -
peals to the generosity of wealthy and phil
anthropic churchmen.
The ThcniasviUe Enterprise, following up
my brief suggestion in a recent letter, has a
well-written editorial on the movement to
break the “State Road lease.” There is a very
big and|very black nigger on the wood pile, and
the State will do well to make haste in this
matter rather slowly, or she may kill the goose
that lays every month a $25,000 golden egg in
her treasury.
Atlanta is to have an oleomargarine factory,
with B F. Tburber, the great New York grocer,
and others in its management. One thing is
certain—it cannot manufacture a viler article
of butter than the dirty, greasy, unhealthy
stuff that comes to this market in tin cans
from neighboring States. It will be fresh and
sweet, although it may not be as good as a
genuine article of ordinary butter.
LO2AL JOTTINGS.
Manufacturers of fertilizers had better not
locate in any of Atlanta’s aristocratic suburban
villages, as Judge Hillyer has sustained the
injunction against the fertilizer factory in
Kirkwood, which is reauired to furnish a bet’er
odor for the surrounding atmosphere or “fold
up its tent like the Arabs and silently steal
way’’to a less sensitive and sensible commu
nity.
1 am glad Oscar Wilde is to be here on the
“ (jaloriovs ” fourth of July, as he will see a
sight such as no other city in the world can
present on “Independence day.” From five to
ten thousand country negroes, the passenger
depot jammed with them all day, and the
streets and sidewalks in the vicinity given up
to peanut, watermelon and lemonade stands.
Our white population have to “take a back
seat” on that day.
The bottom seems to have dropped down if
not out of the late real estate boomorcrsz',
and sales are slower and prices lower. The
fact is- our rival real estate agents—whose
name is legion—forced the market up to a wild
and unhealthy condition, and the reaction has
now set in. as much of the real estate has
been sold on wide credit margios, a stringency
in the money market will play sad havoc with
the over-hopeful purchasers
And yet Atlanta grow s, and has good pros
pects for the future, despite the over zealous
and unwise efforts of speculators and other in
terested parties to exalt her and her future
growth above the realms of reason acd of
truth. A slow healthy growth in children and
cities is far more to be desired than a rabid
mushroom development that is unreliable
The Post-Appeal is publishing a series of
articles to show that one third of Atlanta's
best citizens are from Tennessee, another
third from Virginia, and still another third
from South Carolina, the balance of our popu
lation being natives or gathered ftom the
world at large.
Dr. Alexander Fox. the Russian optician is
still in jail, although Judge Hillyer greatly re
duced his bonds. His case is a sad one indeed
yet his failure to keep his peace bond las ren
dered it hard to And any one willing to run the
risk of a second bond. I
The deepest anxiety prevailed here yester
day in regard to the hanging of Guiteau. es
pecially among the colored people, and when
the news of his final “drop” came there was a
big sigh of relief, and expressions of thankful
ness that the wretch had been executed.
Our old volunteer fire department retired
from the field last night, after long, faithful
and efficient service, poorly appreciated and
more poorly paid for by the city fathers. The
new paid department takes hold to-day, and
will be a sort of half and half economical
affair.
As our water works thus far have proved a
poor defense against fire, aid hardly able to
supply sufficient dirty water for ordinary uses
I do not predict a very brilliant career for the
new fire department. A larger supply of water
bye and bye may help them out.

Church, and in response to a request for the

This has been a lively week in educational
circles here, as the public school exercises
have occupied several days of our attention
and crowded i udienceg have gathered at
DeGive’s Opera House to witness the enter
tainments of the graduating classes. Atlanta
needs a large addition to her school fund in
order to meet the growing demand for in
creased facilities for white and co'ored pupils
Rev Dr. W. H. Potter, the newly elected
editor of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate
has a “level head’’ on the subject of church
music and music teachers, and he strives some
heavy blows at a style of music that is ruining
the sacredness of many of our Atlanta church
services. He heads his editorial “Shoot the
Music," and closes his long and able prote-t
with this recommendation: ‘“lf we can do
nothing else, let us laugh this slouch off the
stage, out of the concert hall, out of the
church, out of the land, into the sea shoot
the music, again we say. shoot the music
[teacher.]” Dr. Potter thinks it better to
"break up the meeting with an uproar of ridi
cule and laughter,” and thereby secure a
healthy reform, than longer submit to this
inarticulate and “slouchy” operatic church
(!) music.

should soon be a big city, but while a stream
of new seitlers comes in a smaller stream is

CONGRESSMAN BLACK.
This distinguished gentleman arrived here
Thur.-day noon after a very comfortable trip
from Washington, and yesterday afternoon I
found him sitting on the verandah of Colonel
Richard Peters’olegsut Pe.iduree street resi
dence dictating to his private secretary some
letters to friends in the First district.
I was most agreeably surprised at Colonel
Black's improved appearance. Above his
shoulders he is as sound as ever, and can
readily transact business, discus * pditical
questions, or entertain his friends. Disarms
and lower limbs are greatly improved, and he
can control, to some extent, his muscles, and
sign his name to letters and documents.
Of course his powers of locomotion are still
feeble, and he requires the services of a body
servant to move him about. Yet in view of his
pa-t great improvement I do not see why the
cool and health-giving breezes about Colonel
Peters’extensive grounds and well ventilated
house may not rapidly restore him to liis
former physical activity. His devoted wife
and her futher’s family will spare no efforts to
secure this much desired restoration.
Of course this severe t filiation lias somewhat
impaired Colonel Black’s useful ness as a Con
gressman. still, as soon as the crisis was over,
assisted by his noble and accomplished wife*
he made his sick bed a scene of patient daily
man* for his district and his constituency. No

Arizona, and Hollis to Fort Lnrarr.ie, in Wash

Now that the official record in the case of
Second Lieut. Henry O. Flipper (colored) of
the Fourth Cavalry, has been made public. I
am not surprised at his dismissal front the
army, to date from the last day of the present
month. While Flipper was not convicted of
stealing, he was guilty of lying and deception
to his superior officers, and presenting a check
for $1,440 43 on a bank in which he then had no
funds, and never had had any, in order to
make good his accounts. This state of facts
left no alternative but the penalty imposed, in
the opinion of the court martial and reviewing
authorities.
