PENSACOLA AND ATLANTIC.
How It will Profit Savannah—An
Untoucbrd El Dorado—Horaea for
a Sods—Let the Pored City Spur
Up.
Geneva. Ala., July 12.- Editor Morning
Ifeujt: The completion of the Pensacola and
Atlantic Railway, by the I*ouigville and Nash
ville line, is the dawn of anew era to the coun
try through which it runs, as well as the sec
tion of Southeast Alabama tributary to it, and
opens up to your city a section of country
heretofore a terra incognita. While we can
not baast of millions of cotton bales to be
emptied into Savannah's broad lap by the
opening of this highway, yet we may truth
fully say that the sunshine of Heaven never
lighted up a land possessing more natural
advantages quietly awaiting the laborer's
sturdy blows to bless the world with its mani
fold productions. Tnere dors not grow (wheat
excepted) a grain, a fruit, or a staple which
may not be produced here in rich abundance
by the ordinary labors incident to the farm.
That a country so blessed in land, water and
healthfuiness should remain for years a com
parative wilderness, and that, too, within three
days drive with an ox cart, of less favored re
gions, is a little singular. It has happened, how
ever, that from one cau*e and another South
east Alabama has been left out in the cold by
our railroad systems, and sections of the State
much less fortuuatelv situated have improved
as mile after mile of the great civilizer has
penetrated the country. Asa consequence,
we have been unknown to the great world
•'beyand the beyance,” as the negroes sing,
having been left to but' our own logs and weed
rur row solitary and alone. But the sound of
the whistle is reverberating through these
fertile vales and dewy glens, and men of wil
ling han sand stalwart forms have caught the
nspiration and are moving onward to the
lively step of the steam whistle, and ere many
years shall roll by will boast a country and
people abreast any who shall strive in the race
for progression.
Possessing thousands of acres,lying in solemn
stillness, untoucht-d by the hand of man. ready
to return a most liberal reward to the indus
trious tiller of the soil, covered with the finest
growth of timber on earth, abundantly
watered, surrounded by herbage for the cattle
and sheep of a thousand hills, fanned by Gulf
breezes, qualified by the sanitary influences of
a pine region for hundreds of miles; soil and
climate specially adapted to the liberal use of
fertilizers on all grains and staples, there is
no good reason why Southeastern Alabama
should not, in the near future, be. as its name
iinpiie*, aland of rest for the tired sons of toil.
In addition to these manifest advantages,
when we come to consider the extremely low
price of these favored lands, and the ease anb
trifting cost at which they may be reache J, we
are astonished that any one should think of
undertaking the hazards ad expense of a re
moval to Texas—a land of extremes in every
particular—when one of equal, nay superior,
advantages lies just across the river.
In addition to the advantages of climate,
healthfulness and convenience allow me to say
that lands may be had within a mile of our
court house on navigable streams, and with
churches and good schools, f0r515 the quarter
section, 160 acr> s, or may be bought from the
government for 51 -J5 per acre. Nor are these
lands gopher hills. With ordinary cultivation,
and with the addition of one hundred pounds
of fertilizers per acre (always to be had here),
they produce from ten to twentv-flve bushels
c rn, forty to eighty bushels oats, 100 to 200
bushels potatoes, and 300 to 500 pounds lint
cotton per acre, while cattle, sheep and hogs
can roam over illimitable pastures of fadeless
green for nine months in twelve. Our active,
vigilan', faithful Representative in Congress
tv" C. Oates, has introduced, and wili press to a
favorable issue, we trust, a bill by which one
year's residence on public land secures a title
in perpetuity—a measure which will do more
to develop the untold wealth hidden in the
bosom of Southeast Alabama than millions
foolishly expended upon works of no direct
benflt to the people and the government
But not only are your farmer readers inter
ested in this sealed section of the country
Tour city and merchants have opened to them
a land and people which for the most part
have paid tribute to Mobile and New
Orleans, whilst the productions of the great
staple cotton have been limited by the want or
outlet, and the heavy drain upon the labor of
the country by the timber interest. The open
ing of the one and the decline of the last will
act as a spur to larger efforts, and we look
forward confidently to the time when our
town shall export 50,000 bales of cotton and
feed her people who produce it from her gen
erous bosom. It will not do, however, for Sa
vannah to sit idly by and expect that our pip
pins are going to rot and fall into her lap. Mo
bile and New Orleans have 17 to 25 feet on
their bars, Louisville Is no baby in trade, ani
the Pensacola and Atlantic Railway is an out
let in perpetuity, to say nothing of the perpet
ual springs which feed the broad bosom of sil
very Choctawhatchee.
Already the directory of the M. & G Road,
another name for the Central, have announced
to the public that their carrying trade would
be put at signal disadvantage unless the M. <£
G. should be extended to Elba, and they never
uttered a greater truth. Elba an t the con
tiguous country will be the liveliest commer
cial battle field over which railroad interest
str ggled seen in a decade. Down here our
sympathies, from interest, are with the P. &
A. route, careless whether its richly laden
trains move East or West, paying them toil in
anv directions—knowing too that these strug
gles must end in the long run to the full de
velopment of the country, the prosperity of
the people and the common good. R. M. G.
NOTES FROM DARIEN.
Abundant Biini-Bue Ball A
Needed Precaution Railroad Talk
—Polttlea.
D arixx. Ga., July 31 .—Editor Morning Sews:
This is tbe last day of July, and we have in
deed been richly blest by a kind Providence in
almost everything, and can with a happy
heart and free conscience enter upon the long
heated “dog days.” While other sections of
the State and our neighboring counties have
been saffering from the lack of rain, we have
had superabundant. We had it raining con
stantly for over a week. The swamps around
the Ridge, which have been dry for over a
year, are now filled with water, but the mother
earth being so long in need of refreshing
showers, it will doubtless in a few days all
disappear. Darien is remarkably healthy this
season, for not a case of fever, to my know
ledge, has been reported in the city, although
at the Ridge. which is considered
healthier, I have heard of several cases.
Uuite an exciting game of base bail came off
on last Tuesday between the Atlantic Club, of
the city, and the Altamaha Club, of the Ridge.
Both nines played well for the time which they
had to practice, and the result was in favor of
the former club, the scores being 17 to 15.
Another game will bei played in the course of a
few weeks, which will decide the champion
skip should the winning club again become
victorious-
The city authorities are fencing in the large
trees that adorn the centre of Broad
street, and intend to have earth hauled
and thrown in around the roots,
which are exposed, giving them a
new lease on life. It is considered a good idea,
for if something is not soon done to cover ihe
root* which have been *o long uncovered, the
st-eet will, indeed, lose all its beauty.

THE VETO OVERRIDDEN IN BOTH
HOUSES.

Brady’s Organs.
Washington. Augu? ; . 2. —The passage by
both houses tc-Jay of the river and harbor
bill over the President’s veto has simplified
matters in regard to adjournment. The
fact that a two-thirds vote could be gotten
together In each House to vote as they did
was a matter of surprise.
It is now thought that by Friday or Satur
day Congress will stand adjourned. The
vote to pass the river and harbor bill over
the President’s veto was by no means of a
political character. The matter was carried
practically by Democratic and Republican
votes.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate, Mr. George Introduced a
bill appropriating 9200,000 to be expended
under the direction of the Mississippi River
Commission in the preservation and im
provement of the harbor of Vicksburg.
He explained that the Mississippi river
was dally receding from the city westward,
and In view of the urgency of the case
urged that the bill be reported back, either
favorably or unfavorably, not later than to
morrow. The bill went to the Commerce
Committee.
Mr. Morgan called up hts resolution for
the appointment of a select committee of
five, to consist of the Chairman of the Mili
tary and Naval Committees and three other
members of those committees, to be
appointed by the Chair, to consider
the subject of heavy ordnances and
projectiles for the armament of the navy
and seacoast defenses, the committee to sli.
daring vacation, to send for persons and
papers, and to report at the next session.
Adopted without debate.
Consideration of the sundry bill was then
resumed
At 1:55 a message was received from the
House informing the Senate of the action
of that body in passing the river and harbor
bill over the President’s veto. The pending
business was suepmded and the veto mes
sage was read.
A vote was immediately taken upon the
question. “Shall the bill pass, the objec
tions of the President to the contrary not
withstanding?” The following Is the vote
in detail:
Teas— Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Anthony,
Brown, Butler, Call, Camden, Cameron of
Wisconsin. Cockrell, Coke, Conger, Davis
of West Virginia, Dawes, Farley, Ferry,
George, Gorman, Grover, Hampton, Hoar,
Jackson, Jonas, Jones of Florida, Jones of
Nevaia, Kl!oeg, McDill, McMillan, Mxey,
Miller of California, Miller of New fork,
Pugb, Ransom. Smuders, Sawyer, Sherman,
Slater, Vest, Voorhees, Walker, Williams
and Windom—4l.
Nays —Messrs. Bayard. Blair, Cameron of
Pennsylvania, Davis of Illinois, Frye, Hale,
Harrison, Hawley, Ingalls, Logan, Morril 1 ,
Pendleron, Piatt, Rollins, Saulsbury and
Van Wyck—l6.
Messrs Chilcott, Harris, Piumb, Lapham
and B ek, who announced that they would
have voted “no,” were paired with Messrs.
Groome, Johnston, Fair, Lamar and Hill of
Georgia, respectively, who were absent.
Mr Garland, in the affirmative, was paired
with Mr. Edmunds, in the negative, and
both were absent.
Mr. Vance, who would have voted “aye,”
was paired with Mr. Mitchell, who was ab
sent. Mr. Sewell was also paired.
After the vote was announced, Mr. Lap
ham, who had been reported in the nega
tive, explained that he had overlooked the
fact that he was paired, and withdrew his
vote, and Messrs Van Wyck, Pendleton and
Saulsbury, whose responses had not been
recorded, voted in the negative. This made
the result as above stated.
The sundry civil bill was again taken up.
Mr. Hoar, from the Library Committee,
repor ed an appropriation of |35,000 for the
purchase of manuscripts and papers of
Benjamin Franklin and the books, etc., of
tne Franklin collection, belonging to Henrv
Stevens, of London. He spoke of the pa
pers as an interesting contribution to the
diplomatic aud naval history of the revolu
tion, and as properly a part of the
archives of the American Government.
Among them was the petition to the King,
6lgned by all the signers of the declaration
of Independence, which was sent to Dr.
Franklin, then the agent of Pennsylvania,
to be presented in 1776, and which the King
refused to receive. Toe item was agreed to.
Mr. Voorhees from the same committee
reported an item of 520,000 for the purchase
of the original letters, letter books and
military maps of Count De Rochambeau,
dated from 1780 to 1794. He stated that
these Included 152 letters from Washington
written during the period In which the
Count commanded the French troops co
operating with the Americans In the revo
lution, that these related to the conduct of
the war, and that very few of them had
been published. The item was agreed to.
The Appropriations Committee reported
afi item appropriating $20,000 to meet the
extra expenditure made necessary by the
bill recently passed, recognizing the letter
carrier system, providing for promotions
from the SBOO to the SI,OOO grade, etc., and
had read at the Clerk’s desk a departmental
communication showing the estimated cost
of change to be $2,800. Agreed to,
Mr. Hoar offered an amendment, empow
ering the Governor of Utah Territory to
appoint officers to fill vacancies In the Ter
ritory caused by failure to elect successors
to the present Incumbents. He had read a
communication from the Judges of the Ter
ritory, setting forth that the registration
offices having been vacated under the Ed
munds act, no registration had been
made this year, and consequently the elec
tions fixed for the present month could not
be held. Trouble was apprehended from
this failure to elect, especially as many of
the present Incumbents are understood to
be polygamists, and disqualified from hold
ing office by the Edmunds act. The amend
ment prevailed without objection.
Mr. Builer offered and advocated an
amendment establishing a coaling dock and
naval store house at Port Royal, 8. C.. and
appropriating $30,000 therefor. Adopted.
Mr. Jones, of Florida, moved an appro
priation of $60,000 for completing the four
sections of the dry dock at Pensacola navy
yard. Agreed to —yeas 25, nays2l.
On motion of Mr. Brown, an item was In
serted to facilitate the lighting of the Sa
vannah river from the bar at Tybee to Sa
vannah.
Mr. Hawley advocated an increase of
$60,000 in the item for the Signal Service,
making it $310,000. He said the smaller
sum was predicated upon two dally weather
observations instead of three, as heretofore,
and that the latter number was essenttal to
the efficiency of the bureau. The officers of
the service believed that Its u-efulness
would be Impaired unless the additional
sum was voted. Agreed to.
Mr. Anthony moved to Insert In the Item
to pay for printing the debate and proceed
ings In (\mgressional Record the words “as
actually delivered and nothing else.” He
said his object was to stop the practice of
publishing in the Record speeches that were
never made, and spoke of the extent to
which this abuse had been carried. Agreed
to.
A large number of proposed amendments
were ruled out upon points of order, the
celerity with which they were disposed of
causlDg some amusement.
Upon the bills being reported to the Sen
ate all the amendments were concurred in
with the exception of those on which
special votes were reserved.
Mr. Hoar’s amendment authorizing the
appointment of Utah officials by the Gover
nor of that Territory, was amended on mo
tlon of Mr. Brown so as to limit the tenure
of the appointees to three months. The
bill then passed, and the Senate, at 8;30 p.
m., adjourned.
HODSE PROCEEDINGS.
In the House, on motion of Mr. Robeson,
of New Jersey, the House insisted on its
disagreement to the Senate amendments to
the naval appropriation bill. The request
of the Senate for a conference was agreed
to, and Messrs. Robeson of New Jersey,
Ketchum of New York, and Atkins of Ten
nessee, were appointed conferees on the part
of the House.
Mr. Page, of California, under unanimous
instructions from the Committee on Com
merce, moved to take up the river and har
bor bill and pass It, notwithstanding the
President’s objections thereto.
The House then, by a vote of yeas 123,
nays 60, passed the bill over the President’s
veto.
On ordering the previous question on the
passage of the bill over the yeto, the vote
by division stood 121 to 8, and Mr. Browne,
of Indiana, raised the point of no quorum.
A vote by tellers stood 137 to 19, so the
previous question was ordered. The House
then proceeded to vote on the passage of
the bill. Following was the vote in detail;

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
In the star route trials to-day, Delegate
Maginnis took the stand and testified prin
cipally to his efforts to further the general
policy of star route extension.
The Dext witness was A. C. Buell, one of
the edttors of the Evening Critic and Sunday
Capital. He was placed bn the stand by the
defense to contradict Walsh’s testimony.
He said Walsh had paid him SI,OOO at a time
when he (Buell) was Printing Clerk of the
Senate, for his services in connection with
an investigation which was calcula
ted to Injure Walsh’s contract, but
that this payment was not on
Brady’s account. On cross-examination
Buell testified that Brady was the owner of
both the newspapers with which he is con
nected. At Buell’s solicitation Brady fur
nished SIO,OOO with which to purchase the
Sunday Capital from Down Platt, at first as
a loan to Buell, but the paper was after
wards transferred to Brady to cancel Buell’s
debt. Brady furnished all the money for
the original purchase and subsequent im
provement of the Critic. Buell also
testified that he had published an article in
the Interest of Monroe Saulsbury, the mall
contractor, by agreement, and had drawn
on Saulsbury for his pay, but the draft had
been protested.
The defense interposed continued ob
jection to this line of cross-examination, as
it had gone beyond the purpose for which
Buell was placed on the stand. He had
been called merely with reference to Walsh’s
testimony, but Judge Wylie admitted the
questions.
To several questions Buell replied that he
did not recollect, but Judge Wylie told him
that the subjects upon which he was being
questioned were such as a man of intelli
gence would not be likely to forget, and
warned him that evasions would not be per
mitted. Thenceforward his answers were
direct. Buell said that, Walsh had paid
him for his services in aid of the passage of
Brady’s post office deficiency appropriation
bill. Witness acknowledged having written
an article published In the Capital on June
26, 1881, entitled, “Somewhat Personal.”
Mr. Merrick then read this article. It Is
a card over Buell’s name, In which he de
clares that If It be true that Gibson, Mac-
Veagh and others have charged him with
having been bribed while holding bis
clerkship In the Senate, then they lie. He
further declares that while acting as clerk
he had never received any money,
check or other consideration to Influence his
action, public or private. He was asked if
he still held to that statement? Witness
replied that he meant that he had never
received money to Influence his action as
printing clerk. He was unable to give any
further explanation.
Buell satd that he had written many ar
ticles on the star route matter for the Capi
taland Critic, always on the side of the
defense.
Mr. Merrick then proceeded, despite the
objections of the defense,to read from these
articles. They contained severe strictures
and reflections upon the prosecution and
the court. Their reading created much
amusement In court, even Judge
Wvlie smiling when a particularly
stinging passsage referring to himself was
read. Counsel for the defense again en
deavored to prevent the further reading of
the articles, asserting that the witness had
already sufficiently shown his animus.
The court said that in this Instance the
witnesses had been brought forward to con
tradict one of the most important witnesses
on the other side. It was shown that he
was employed by one of the defendants,
and that be had written one of the most
vituperative and libelous articles about
everybody In any way connected with the
administration of justice. The court said
he wanted to see this thing, so far as legiti
mate, brought before the jury. These arti
cles were new to him, although he had been
honored with some notice.
Col Totten said that he did not under
stand that any one of the defendants were
to be punished for the writings of the wit
ness.
The court said they were not. He
wanted the matter brought before the Jury.
He had determined to allow the prosecution
the fullest cross-exemlnatlon on this sub
ject.
Mr. Merrick then read several other
articles of the same character, and witness
was turned over to the defense.
Mr. Wilson asked witness if the New
York papers had not been indulging in
criticisms against the defendants, but ob
jection was made. Mr. Wilson said he
expected to show that there was
a newspaper controversy growing out of
this matter, in which the defendants had
been in the minority. He would also show
that the New York papers also criticised
His Honor. These newspapers had been
abusing the defendants In the most scan
dalizing way for the last two years.
The Court—“And for that reason this
paper libels the court and every person
connected with the administration of jus
tice. These hireling libelers need not be
lieve that they can terrorize the adminis
tration of justice in the District.”
The question was finally ruled out. The
witness said that none of the defendants
except Brady were Interested in either the
Critic or Capital. He was then dismissed.

Atlanta, August 2. The Republican
Convention met at 11 o’clock in the hall of
the House of Representatives, with open
doors, on account of a bolt by the opposing
faction. About two hundred delegates
were present, including Bryant, Wood,
Buck, Bigby, Locke, Wimberly, Dirnell’,
Brown, of the Macon post office, and other
white Republicans; and Pledger, Long,
Hurd, Watson, White, Wright, Tunis G.
Campbell, Jones, Bykes and other leading
colored politicians.
Pledger called the convention to order,
and said he had waited an hour to allow the
bolters to come In, but he did not think a
half dozen hangers-on to the party could
hurt It by bolting.
Jeff Long, of Bibb, waa made temporary
Chairman.
Bryant offered a resolution, indorsing
Arthur’s administration, aud declaring any
delegate not approving the resolution as
not In harmoiiy with the Republican party.
Bryant eulogized Blaine, Arthur, Grant
and Conkling, and Indorsed Gartrell for
Governor.
81ms, Campbell and Bykes, of Chatham,
followed, also Indorsing Gartrell, and the
resolution was unanimously adopted by a
rising vote.
Hurd also spoke in favor of Gartrell,
whose name always created great applause.
J. A. Sykes and others favored a commit
tee of five to received overtures from the
bolters, and he was put on that committee,
and also on the Committee on Permanent
Organization.
8. D. Scroggins, of the First district, was
put on the Committee on Credentials. A
committee was also appointed to keep the
bolters from taking possessiofi of the hall
during the recess for dinner.
The morning session was somewhat lively
but harmonious. Wright, Locke and Ackers
favored the return of the bolters, but ex
pressed their determination to stand by
Pledger and the regularly organized con
vention if they refused to come In. Locke
said he saw Farrow this morning and sought
to effect a compromise, but Farrow replied
that he would be d—d if he would compro
mise with euch a set. Hurd and Brown de
nounced the circulars sent out this morning
by Farrow as only infamous lies, and dented
that they and Pledger were drunk last night
wben they went Into the Lingstreet, Farrow
& Company’s private caucus. Still they
favored a committee of conference to bring
the bolters Into the convention.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Bryant moved aCommltteeon Resolutions.
Wade was appointed from the First district.
Judge Bigby made a speech, and Bishop
Turner spoke but only for harmony, not
making a political speech. Wade, Darnell
and Sykes also made speeches.
Bryant repeated his old story, “Republi
cans killed in cold blood,” and closed by
sayins: “I go for Gartrell as against the
Beurbons, although he is a Democrat.”
Tue Committee on Credentials reported.
White, of Richmond, and one or two o'her
members of the contesting delegations, were
inv’ted to seats. A resolution wa6 adopted
vindicating Pledger and denying that he
caused a disturbance last night, and was
telegraphed to the Secretary of the Treasury
to prevent Injury to him from Farrow’s
course in the matter.
A motion for a night session was voted
down, and the convention adjourned till
nine o’clock to-morrow.
THE BOLTERS’ CONVENTION.
Longstreet, Cooley, T. F. and W. H. John
son, Wilson, Holden, Wesstlosky, Holtz
claw, Hnrgraves, Jack Brown and others,
with Belcher, Deveaux, Davis, Pleasants
and other leading colored politicians, held
a esueus last night to put Walter Johnson
in Pledger’s place as Chairman of the State
Central Committee. Pledger, Brown and
Jeff Long were refused admittance, but,
backed by a crowd of colored delegates,
they forced their way in, and a row
ensued. Longstreet had Pledger and
Brown arrested and taken to the police
station. Farrow announced a convention
in the United States Court room at noon to
day, and Locke another at the Representa
tives Hall.
This was at the close of another caucus
this morning, at which Pledger was deposed,
and John fi. Deveaux, Chairman of the
caucus, was authorized to appoint the place
for holding tbe convention.
Farrow called the convention to order at
twelve o’clock and explained the cause of
the procedure.
Belcher nominated Pleasants for tempo
rary President, and he was elected. A Com
mittee on Credentials was appointed (De
veaux from the First district). An ad
journment was then had.
AFTERNOON SESSION. .
Farrow addressed the convention and
offered a resolution setting forth the man
ner in which the convention was called,
and the cause of the division, and styling
Pledger’s convention as the real bolt
ers. He called for a committee of
conference to meet a similar committee
from Pledger’s convention. A. N. Wilson
and T. F. Johnson were appointed on said
committee.
An adjournment was then had till nine
o’clock to-morrow.
The feeling is quite bitter between the
leaders of the two factions. The Farrow
crowd is small, but composed of representa
tive men, while the mass of colored dele
gates are with Pledger. The Farrow wiDg
will have a mass meeting to-night
at the court room. Postmaster Conley is to
preside. The conference committee may
secure harmony by to-morrow, as neither
convention has permanent officers, nor has
any Important business been transacted.
Sykes is the only Chatham delegate in
Pledger’s convention. Cantwell is Secre
tary of Farrow’s convention.

TROUBLE IN INDIAN TERRITORY
Civil War Among the Creek*.
Chicago, August 2.—A special dispatch
from the Indian Territory says: “A tribal
outbreak among the Creeks bordering on
civil war has occurred. The two factions
are the Cblcota and Sands parties. Captain
Scott, of the Chicot* party, and several of
his followers were killed lately by the Sands
party. The Chief of the Chlcotas thereupon
ordered all able-bodied men in the nation
to turn out and capture the murderers, and
four hundred responded, and are seeking
Sands’ rendezvous In the interior, near
Eufaula. Reports of the result may come
to-day or to-morrow. During the rebellion
the Sands party were loyal while the Chico
tas were confederates.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
The Ticket Completed—General Sal*
Isfactlon With the Nominees-Tbe
Platform.
Columbia, August 2.—C. R. Miles, of
Charleston, was nominated for Attorney
General, and W. E Storey, of Berkeley, for
Comptroller General. The convention then
adjourned til! nine o’clock a. m. to-day.
J. P. R'chardson, State Treasurer, was re
nominated when the convention reassembled
a4 9 o’clock this morning. Rev. Ellison
Capers, of Greenville, was nominated for
Superintendent of Education, and General
A. M. Manigault for Adjutant General.
The platform is now under consideration.
The ticket Is conceded to be a strong one.
The nominee for Governor will poll a heavy
colored vote. The convention consisted of
316 members, nearly all of whom arc men
fresh from the people, and their selection
of candidates is considered entirely satisfac
tory by the Democrats.
The platform adopted by the Democratic
Convention, after reaffirming the declara
tions of 1876 and 1878, proceeds as follows:
“First. We demand just legislation, the
impartial administration of equal laws and
economy with efficiency in every depart
ment of the State government.
“Second. Popular education is the bulwark
of free institutions, and we ask libera! ap
propriations for public schools for the whole
people.
“Third. The systematic efforts of the
Republican party to obstruct reform
and destroy good government In South
Carolina by turning to partisan pur
poses the appointing power of the
Federal Government are standing men
aces to the people of this State and a grow
ing danger to good citizens in every part of
the Union. The Federal offices in this State
are made political infirmaries and training
schools for the defeat of honest government
in South Carolina.
Fourth. The honest home rule Democ
racy of South Carolina, representing the
taxpayers of the State and a majority of
the whole people, invite, and have a right
to expect, tbe sympathy and support of
their fellow countrymen In their strenuous
efforts to preserve an intelligent and equal
administration of the government.
Fifth. The practice of packing juries in
political cases in the United States Courts
In this State is a criminal violation of the
inalienable right of every citizen to a fair
trial by a jury of his peers.
Sixth. The extension of the franchise as
a po!ltica>result of the late war has enlarged
enormously the number of present and
prospective voters requiring education in
the public schools. This burden was in
creased, while the ability of the State to
bear it was diminished. The Federal Gov
ernment, by liberal appropriations from the
Treasury, on the basts of illiteracy, should
help the Southern States to cure the evil of
non-lntelligent suffrage, a national danger,
which calls for national action and national
aid.
Seventh. With civil service reform, ap
pointments to minor offices should be made
under tests which will Indicate the qualifi
cations of the applicants. Promotion should
be by merit, and there should be a fixed
tenure of office and no removals except for
cause.
Eighth. Blackmailing public servants
under the guise of political assessments,
converts the public treasury to the extent of
contributions called for Into a campaign
fund for the advancement of a political
party, thus taxing the whole people for par
tisan purposes.
Ninth. The present protective tariff robs
the many for the benefit of the few. Duties
on imports should be decreased, and an
early repeal of the duty on cotton ties, on
machinery U6ed in the manufacture of cot
ton and wool, and on tools and agricultural
implements, will stimulate manufactures,
and be a’welcome relief to farmers and
laborers.
Tenth. It Is most desirable that Internal
revenue taxation be abolished so soon as
this can be accomplished without rendering
permanent- the existing protective system.
The rigid economy in the conduct of the
government will hasten the day when the
tariff shall be as moderate as in the earlv
days of the Republic, and the army of office
holders employed under the Internal reve
nue laws may be disbanded.
Eleventh. Public credit, national and
State, must be religiously maintained.
Twelfth. In the conduct of the affairs of
this Btate the Democracy have been actuated
by but one desire, and that Is to promote
the greatest good of the State. Only
within the Democratic party and by that
party’s action can defective legislation be
remedied without imperiling the safety aud
well being of the State. Democratic unity
Is public safety and present security.
Thirteenth. In the State,justice and equali
ty for all to insure harmony and good will
between the races. In the Union, no sec
tionalism In policy or feeling. An “Indis
soluble Union of Indestructible States”—
one flag, one country, one destiny.
The convention then adjourned
GIGANTIC SWINDLING.
The Philadelphia Sugar Failure.
Philadelphia, August 2.—The total
amount of claims, including mortgage
foreclosures and attachments, against
Charles M. Hilgert, trading as John Hll
gert’s Sons, whose failure was announced
yesterday, amounts to nearly half a
million, and today the business
community was startled by the disclosure
that Hilgert bad obtained at least $295,564
upon forged drafts and promissory notes.
George C. Carson & Cos., commission mer
chants, say that they hold drafts and pro
missory notes amounting to $150,000
which they believed to be
forged, and that Hilgert concealed his
goods with the Intention of defrauding! his
creditors. W. H. Newbold & Son, note
brokers, charge that they purchased from
Hilgert a lot of acceptances, aggregating
$86,199, which they discover to be forgeries,
and B B. Comeeys, President of the Phila
delphia National Bank, and Charles C- Har
rison, of Harrison, Havemeyer &Cos., sugar
refiners, made a similar charge. The forge
ries in the hank case amount $36,000,and in
the other $23,365. All these have secured
attachments against Hilgert’s property,
which, it is thought, is not
worth more than one-quarter of the amount
of the claim against it. Hilgert is said to
have secured forged acceptances by insist
ing that those who purchased fr im him
within the last week should take his goods
on sixty days’ credit or give notes. This
gave him time to have the signature well
studied and to produce the forgeries. Hil
gert disappeared last Monday afternoon. It
is rumored that he has started for Brest.

THE MUDDLE IN EGYPT.
THE BRITISH AND TURKISH
POSITIONS STATED.
#
Lord Oufferln Explains—Tbe Sal
tan’s Clever Rejoinder—A Pro
rlslonal French ministry—A Bri
tish Outpost Stampeded by Arab*.
Constantinople, August 2.— At the sit
ting of the conference to day, M. Ocou, the
Russian representative, and Said Pasha, the
Turkish delegate, made declarations in be
half of their resp ctive governments. Lord
Dufferin explained England’s action at Al
exandria. He said that the forts had been
destroyed solely as a measure of defense,
and that the steps which followed were Im
posed by necessity. England’s sole object
was to restore order, to secure the free navi
gation of the Suez canal, and to restore the
authority of the Khedive. While reserving
jiberty of action, events might render it
necessary for England to accept the co-ope
ration of any power ready to give it. Lord
Dufferin added : “We also accept the Sul
tan’s friendly aid. We are glad to be re
lieved of the uncertainty regarding the real
intentions of the Sultan, caused by the deco
ration bestowed by him upon Arabl Pasha.
We Btill require that a proclamation be
issued, supporting the authority of the Khe
dive and declaring Arabi Pasha a rebel.”
The Ottoman Plenipotentiaries made the
following declaration:
We have taken note of the communica
tions of Lord Dufferin and of each member
of the conference regarding the point that
England is obliged to land troops in Egypt
In consequence of the inaction of the Porte.
The Ottoman representatives are of the
opinion that action on the part of the Sultan
would be more practical and efficacious
than action by England. The assertion of
inaction on the part of the Porte is unfound
ed, as after the presentation of the identical
note the Porte agreed to take part In the
conference and to dispatch troops to Egypt.
“Secondly. The resolution of the Porte to
dispatch troops to Egypt waa based upon
the tenor of the identical note and satisfied
the powers.
Bat the attitude adopted by England in
subordinating her action of co-operation to
the proclamation of Arab! Pasha as a
rebel is not in accordance with the
satisfaction expressed by the powers.
“Thirdly. The Porte never declined the
assistance of the powers to maintain tbe
statu quo, which was proved by Turkey’s
accepting the conditions of the identical
note relating to the future of Egypt.
“Fourthly. Regarding the issue of a proc
lamatlon declaring Arabl Pasha a rebel, tbe
Porte hopes that the conference will approve
of the proclamation being issued simul
taneously with the presence of Ot'om-in
troops in Egypt, in order to obtain an
efficacious and practical result whenever
the disorders require the adoption of rigor
ous measures. As the proclamation is to
explain the situation and to impeach a sub
ject of the Sultan, who was decorated at
a moment when, manifesting fidelity, it
must derive its force from the immediate
co-operation of the Imperial troops, whose
absence at its promulgation would render
the provisions of the proclamation barren
of result and aggravate the present state of
things.
“The conference will recognize in tbe
Porte a sincere desire to restore order and
to establish a loyal understanding with the
powers ”
Paris, August 2— The report that a
new Provincial Ministry would be formed
merely to carry on the public business, com
prising several members of the late Cabinet,
is confirmed. The following Ministers re
tain portfolios: M. Cochery, Minis
ter of Posts and Telegraph; M
Tirard, Minister of Commerce;
M. Mahry, Minister of Agriculture; Gen.
Billot, Minister of War, and Admiral Jaure
quiberry, Minister of Marine. Nothing has
yet been decided as regards the select Jon of
tile remainder. President Grevy had a
conference on the subject this evening with
Senator DuClerie.
De Lesseps telegraphs that he has made
no protest against the entrance of British
men-of-war Into the Buez canal, but he
protested against t'ne infraction of the com
pany’s regulations committed by a vessel
after entering the canal.
London, August 2.—The Times corres
pondent at Paris says: “It is highly prob
able that M. de Freyclnet will resume the
premiership. This was seriously talked of
at a meeting of Senators and Deputies last
evening.”
The ib st's Alexandria correspondent
telegraphs that the rebel camp has been
moved five miles nearer to the British
outposts, two miles in advance of , the main
body.
The News says It is Informed that the gov
ernment possesses evidence of the com
plicity of the Porte with Arabi Pasha, both
before and after tbe latter’s assumption of
active hostility toward England and the
Khedive, and that documents on the sub
ject may eventually be submitted to Parlia
ment
An outpost at Alexandria was stampeded
by Arabs last night. They threw down their
guns and ran, some of them, passing the re
serve picket station, ran into tbe camp with
all sorts of extravagant stories of the mag
nitude ot. the foree that was pursuing
them. A small panic was the
result, but It soon turned out
that the Arabs merely picked up the guns
and ammunition thrown away by the
frightened British soldiers and returned
whence they came. The strength of the
outpost Is variously stated from a Corporal
and six men of the Sixtieth Rifles to a full
company of that regiment.
A dispatch from Port Baid to Reuter’s
Telegram Company says: “British men of
war strongly occupy the Suez canal here,
at Ismallia and at Suez. All Europeans have
left Suez. Only four French men-of-war
remain In Egyptian waters.”
The transport Calabria departed at 2:30
o’clock this afternoon for Alexandria direct.
Lieutenant General Sir Garnet Wolseley Is
on board.
Alexandria, August 2.—lt is reported
that Arabi Pasha has ordered the houses of
obnoxious natives in Cairo to be burned.
Nineteen natives who refuse to recogniz?
the authority of Arabi Pasha have been shot
at Cairo.
St. Petersburg, August 2 —A semi
official statement is made public that Rus
sia never Indorsed the Anglo-Freneh naval
demonstration in Egyptiau waters, but,
on tbe contrary, declared that, al
though not wishing to oppose, she
would never encourage, isolated ac

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Ingalls as a Wlt-Robeson Croat
fallen Jack Brown’s Bee—An
other Half Breed Howl—The New
Bonde-The South's Advancement.
Washington, August I.—Senator Ingalls is
very independent, although he is a Republican.
He is not what can be called a half breed. He
has developed into anew type; he is a stal
wart independent He supports the stalwart
party, but is ever ready to kill jobs and such
other little things. He is a sore spot in the
jobbers’ party, in addition to making for him
self an individuality and distinctiveness in
politics. Mr. Ingalls has developed into one of
the brightest wits and beet wielders of sarcasm
inCongress. He is hardly second in sarcasm
to Senator Edmunds, and is as honest as the
Vermont man. To-day the debate on the naval
bill was going on, and Senator Rollins was
pursuing his even way of dissecting and
tearing to pieces the many little jobs that in
habited the measure. Senator Cockrell want
ed to talk about a point which was not in
order. Rollins made the point against him.
Cockrell got mad, and there was a prospect of
a little row between them. It was opportunely
and effectively stopped by Ingalls peeping out
from behind his newspaper and saying quietly
“Oh, Rollins! goon with the autopsy/ The
connection between “autopsy" and R< Urns'
dissection of the bill was too much for even
the Senate to refuse a laugh at, and so there
was the laugh, and the Impending conflict was
averted.
ROBESON DOBS NOT FEEL EASY.
Robeson’s naval bill, which he whipped
through the House, has been passed by the
Senate, it was passed late last evening. But
it could hardly be called Robeson’s bill any
more. It is so changed and mutilated that
Robeson s big round eyes will grow bigger in
as’onishment when he sees how the jobs have
been stricken out. and how his schemes have
been cuffed to pieces In fact the Benate is
not owned by Robeson. He cannot boss that
body, and his influence, except with one or two
Senators, does not enter the Senatorial doors
It ceases when one of his measures, after being
put through the House, is started towards the
other end of the capitol. Robeson does not
own the President of the Senate as he does the
Speaker of the House, and cannot succeed at
all in the role of a whipper-in of Republicans
in the Senate. Robeson, it is true, did a good
deal of lobbying for his naval
schemes in the Senate but neither
bis persuasiveness nor plausibility was
sufficient to prevent the Senatorial shears tak
ing off many of the most objectionable features
of the bill and cutting down the reckless ex
penditures provided for in it as it came
fiom the House. It is understood that Robeson
is going to make a fight for his pet when the
House again takes up the naval bill. If he
makes much of a fight, it will delay adjourn
ment, which it is now thought will occur next
Friday or Saturday.
OOL. JACK BROWN.
Coi. Jack Brown left the city last night for
Georgia to carry out his programme in the
Republican State Convention to make things
lively if any attempt is made to nominate an
Independent on the Republican ticket He will
make the streets of Rome resound with
his 1 utcries if any but a straightout Republi
can is attempted to be nominated. Colonel
Brown also has other business in Georgia. He
is going to run for Congress in the Americus
district, and wants to fix his fences. He had
better take an army with banners to aid him if
he expects to surround the Democratic majority
in that district. It is hinted, however, that the
object of Colonel Brown in running for Con
gress is not so much with the idea that he will
be elected as with an after-thought to contest
the s j at of the man who will be duly returned
The action of the Republicans this session in
turning out Democrats without reference to
the question of who was legally elected, has
had its effect in encouraging Republicans to
take upon themselves the role of running for
Congress simply that, they may- afterwards
make contests.
TROUBLE FROM CONKLING.
Senator Conkling has recently caused con
siderable trouble to locate itself In the
breasts of the half breeds of his State. Conk
li ig’s foot is on his natirs heath when he is at
Utica, New York. Mr. Hayes, when he was
very feebly acting President, turned out of the
post office at Utica a man who had been put
there by Conkling, and placed in his stead a
half breed Conkling made no fight over this
change. At that time he had bigger fights
with Hayes, which demanded his whole atten
tion. Now Conkling has induced President
Arthur to turn out the man ap
pointed by Hayes and put in
his place a man, and a stalwart, recommended
by the ex Senator 1 rom New York. Therefore
the half breeds how! and accuse all but them
selves of being spoilsmen, and refuse generally
to be comforted. They say that the Hayes
man, who is deposed to give place to the Conk
ling stalwart, was an excellent officer. They
forget or ignore the fact that the Conkling man
in the first part, who gave way to the Hayes
appointee, was also an excellent officer. There
is nothing remarkably important about all this
but it shows some things. It shows that it
makes the biggest sort of difference as to
whose ox is gored, and it shows
that the division in the Republican
party is simply a division as to who shall have
the spoils. Because the half breeds cannot get
the offices they fight the stalwarts, who, it can
not be doubted, do get the offices not only in
New York, but everywhere else. The fight
shows that the Republican party is a party of
spoils. Both wings of that party are equally
hostile to the South, to honest government
Vnd to reform in the conduct of public affairs
They are all stalwarts on these points. It is
only those who have been ignored when the
spoils were given out who fight the administra
tion or stalwart wing of the party This defi
nition cannot be too closely drawn. At the
same time there is a good chance of the light
breaking Somebody has said, more than
truly, that when thieves fall out honest men
get what is due them. The Republican thieves
have been falling out for the past four years
and daily is widened the breach. The result
will tell the moral of it all.
THE KXW BONDS.
The Treasury Department to-day commenced
the conversion of the continued 3)4 per cent
bonds into three per cents, under the bill which
passed this session. It had been predicted that
there would be a perfect car load of bonds to
come to the department to-day for conversion.
The newspapers were full of such statements
But there was not the car-load. There
was, however, an amount sufficient to
show that the three per cents, will be received
favorably. There could not have been a cr
load. Only to-day could bonds for conversion
be mailed under the Treasury’s circular. The
date fixed for such mailing commenced at ten
o’clock this morning, and will oontinue until
the noth. Only the bonds mailed at near post
offices could under this ruling reach Washing
ton before the close of business. The actual
first day’s receipts were therefore compara
tively light, but the receipts will pick up im
mensely as the mails from points further away
begin to arrive. There seems to be no doubt
of the complete success of the conversion of
the 3)4 per cents into 3s. The onlv possible
drawback is in the wording of the law. Under
the law a man who receives in conversion—
that is conversion of bonds not of souls a
bond of a certain denomination cannot at in
all other preceding loans, change it f<.r the
equivalent in bonds of a lower denomination
This is a serious drawback. Suppose for in
stance, you get under the new loan a bond of
the denomination of SI,OOO. Sometime after
w,ar2B.y2u ant J ß6ll me two hundred doll rs
of that bond. You cannot do go, because you
““ n °t^ ve the bond changed to a lower de
? w ° rks J u t as if the Treasury
should refuse to change a bij? note into smaller
onea This it will be will (7 a drawSJLk
to the conversion of the 3)48 into Bb, but. not
withstanding that fact, there seems to be not
the slightest doubt of the success of the pres
ent financial operation of the Treasury The
drawback to success mentioned was simply the
result of Congressional carelessness when the
bill was passed a short time ago.
AN INSTANCE OF SOUTHERN PROSPERITY.
The salaries of Postmasters throughout the
country are regulated by the amount of busi
ness transacted at their offices. The amount of
post office business done at any place is a
reflex, more or less, of the business carried nn
there. The Post Office Department has just
made the semi-annual readjustment of sa?a J ri£s
of Postmasters on the basis of business don?
There has been an increase all over the ooun

debate In the United States Senate on the
subject of the existing relations between
capital and labor, which followed a motion
instructing the Committee on Education

port a plan, to be formulated as a
