that his health is not such as to warrant his

would by no means speak or write disparaging

we prefer.
Mr. Meldrim has made a success of what
ever he has undertaken, from his coyhood

same if national interests were committed to

legislators too often merely for the purpose cf
distributing honor to whom honor is due. If
mem is to be tbe basis, then it will be im
possible to confer honor upon all who may de
serve it. But we need qualified legislators,
and they can only b=* acquired by practice ai-d

efficient, retain him in that capacity, and not
be constantly changing, jeopardizing the in

to the shock of battle, and unsk lied in the in

they would call bis services into requisition a

o’clock this evening, expecting that by that
time the Senate would be ready to adjourn

The Senate did minor business on bills,
and spent most of the day In executive ses
sion over nominations. It adjourned at six
o’clock until eleven o’clock to-morrow.

evening, immediately did the same thing.
There will be a final adjournment to

Mr. Plumb offered a concurrent resolution
fir an adjournment sine die to day at 5
o’clock.
\lr. Plumb charged that, the responsibility
for the extension of the present session was
chargeable solely to dilatoriness of the House
In maturing the appropriation bills, and re
viewed the action of the House od these
bills aud said that if business interests had
been injured, and manufacturing to a large
tx'ent stopped because of the protracted
session aud the apprehensions of unwise
legislation to which it had given rise, the re
sponsibility should res’, with the House,
where it belonged.
Mr. Morrill objected to the present con
sideration of the resolution, in order, as he
stated, to have it lie over for one day under
the rule.
Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, then
moved an executive session, but yielded

ther statement. The latter added that,, as
the main business of the session bad been
finished, the Senate had now amp’e oppor
tunity to consider the tax bill. He would
now appeal to the other side to allow the
bill to come up and either be voted upon
without further debate on it or at a time
fixed upon.
After remarks by Messrs. Beck and Blair,
the matter was dropped.

on Education and Labor, called up the reso
lution directing an investigation during'the

sideration of the tax bill. The motion pre
vailed—yea= 31, nays 18 All the negative

Mr. Bauisbury Inquired of Mr. Morrill
whether he intended to call up the tax bill,
and received an affirmative answer.
Mr. Bberman said he would never vote to

Mr. Mills, of Texas, demanded a second,
but there were only fifty two voting in the

Mr Robeson trusted that ts 6 gentleman
on the other side would object to the bill,
which reduced taxation $43,000,000.
Mr. Mills—lt reduces taxation on the

Mr Randall—When the Committee on

Michigan, Butterwortb, of Ohio, Robinson,
of Massachusetts, Hazelton, of Wisconsin,
His ock, of New York, Thomas, of Illinois,
Carlisle, of Kentucky, aDd Holman, of In
diana, as members of the select commit
tee to invettigate the methods of improve
ments of the Mississippi river.
The House then, at 4:30, took a recess
until 8 o’clock, Mr. Hiscock, who made the
motion, stating tbat the chances were even
that Congress would adjourn to-night.
As soon as the House met this evening at
8 o’c ock, Mr. Hiscock, of New York, moved
to adjourn. Mr. Arderson, of Kansas,
moved that when the House adjourn it be
to meet at 3 o’clock to morrow, sayinß that
It seemed that Their Royal Majesties in the
Senate could not sit at night and that tbe
House had n thing in the world to do.
Mr. Blackburn suggested that the House
adjourn until Friday, and Mr. Hiscock
stated tbat if the Senate took up tbe tax
bill to-morrow, be would have no objection
to adjourning until tbat date. Thereupon
Mr. Anderson withdrew his motion, and tbe
House, at 8:02 p. m , adjourned until to
morrow.
Among the few members present there
was a good deal of Indignation manifested
at the action of the Senate in adjourning
to-day without taking action on tbe House
resolution for a final adjournment. Mem
bers congregated in groups, and many ex
pressed their desire tbat the President would
avail himself of his constitutional right to
declare both houses adjourned.
In fact, Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, had a
resolution drawn up requesting the Presi
dent to exercise that right, and only re
frained from offering it to-night at the re
quest of some of his colleagues. Another
member expressed bis desire that the House
would grant, the Senate the extra mileage,
which Us members called for, provided they
would go home and stay there. Altogether
there was a strong sentiment prevailing that
the Senate had treated the House in a very
cavalier manner.
THE STAB ROUTE TRIALS.
In the star route cases to-day, John L.
French, ex-Chief Clerk of the Contract
Office, was recalled and made some correc
tions in his testimony. R. O. N. Bradshaw
was called bv the defense to offset the
charge that extravagant sums were paid for
the service by showing the high price of
forage and labor. Judge Wylie ruled out
the testimony. The detense then an
nounced that they were through with their
evidence.
A’ the request of the prosecution a re
cess was taken until 1 o’clock. After the
recess A J. Boose was examined to rebut a
portion of Vail’s testimony. Mr. Merrick
offered to show by the witness that in the
spring of 1878 Vail had known Miner and
had at that, time signed a contract, at Sena
tor Dorsey’s house, although Vail swore
that he had never met Miner before August
of that year. Witness said he met Vail and
Miner at Senator Dorsey’s house in the lat
ter part of April, 1878.
JohnJ.Prvor, a Contract Office Clerk,
was the next witness. He had been In
charge of the letter press copy books of
tbat office. He Identified a book presented
by Col. Bliss as the one which contained
letter press copies of official correspondence
of one section of the Second Assistant Post
master General’s office from December 6th,
1880, to March 10th, 1881. Turning to a
page in the book containing a copy oi a
letter, dated December 28th, . 1880,
to a New Jersey Postmaster, witness
declared that the signature was that of Gen.
Brady, signing as Second Assistant Post
master Genial. Other letters are dated
December, 1880. The object, of the intro
duction of this evidence was to contradict
witness French, who testified that on De
cember 28'b, 1880, he had acted as Second
Aslstam Postmaster General.
H. 8 Nelson, a correspondent of the Bos
ton Post, testified that he had a conversa
tion with Bu-11 in the fall of 1880, which
commenced at his house and extended to
Lafayette square.
After a lnng argument, Nelson’s testi
mony was ruled out and the court adjourned.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Senate, after an executive session of
six hours duration, confirmed twenty-six
of the forty nominations which were pend
ing The first, nominations acted upon
were those of General Grant and Mr. Tres
cott. as Commissioners to negotiate a com
mercial treaty with Mexico. These pro
voked but little discussion and
were confirmed by a decisive vote.
The nomination of J. R. Luby for Surveyor
of the port of Albany was next taken up,
and after a spirited discussion, he was con
firmed by a vote 20 to 8. Tbe ‘
nomination of Charles H. Crane to be
Surgeon General of the army was next
coneldemd and occupied the attention
of the Senate for nearly two hours. He
was finally confirmed by a vote of 26 to 16.
Some time was spent in discussion over the
confirmation of Jas. B. Mitchell for Survey
or of Customs at Newport News,but his con
firmation was seconded with but few dis
senting votes. The remaining confirmations
were made without opposition.
PROTECTING AMERICAN ARCHIVES.
The Btate Department having received in
formation that trouble was imminent, among
the native population at Tripoli, requested
that the Navy Department have a vessel
sent there, as well as to Tunis, to remove
the consular records aid archives at those
places to a plac<‘ of safety. Orders were ac
cordingly Issued to Rear Admiral Nicholson,
commanding the European station, to send
a vessel to those cities, and it Is supposed
that the duty has already been performed
by this time. A cable message was received
at tbe Btate Department to-day from Mr.
Robeson, formerly Consul at Tripoli, an
nouncing bis arrival at Malta, ana stating
his purpose of waiting there for Instruc
tions. The Consulates at Tripoli and Tunis
were abolished by act of Congress, and the
consular records would have been moved
sooner but for the tr- übles in Alexandria.

HE DID NOT HEAR HIM.
The amendment offered in the Senate by
Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, for a final ad
journment at 11 o’clock to-night, was de
feated through the Inability of the clerk to
hear the response of Senator Bayard. Sena
tor Bayard voted in the affirmative, and had
his vote been recorded the amendment

British Action Not a Subject for tbe
Conference —Protection of tbe

Tbe Sultan’s Latest Orders.
London, August 7.—A Renter dispatch
from Alexandria says: “Gen. Allison esti
mates the enemy’s loss at between 200 and
300. One officer of the Mustaphezen Regi
ment and fourteen men were taken pris
oners. They state that the enemy’s force
consisted of one battalion of the 8--cond In
fantry Regiment 1,200 strong,and 900 of the
Mustaphezen Regiment. They reckon the
rebel force at Kafr el Dwar at 16,000 men.”
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Sir Charles Dllke, Under Foreign Secretary,
replying to various questions, said no Turk
ish troops have gone to Alexandria. Those
that have been dispatched will only go as
far as Crete. The negotiations in regard
to Turkish Intervention in Egypt
have not reached a stage enabling any
statement to be made in Parliament.
The conference, he said, will have
no control over England’s action at Suez
or at any other point where British troops
are in occupation by virtue of the Khe
dive’s proposal. The measures before the
conference are only proposals for tbe safety
of the canal. Lord Dufferin has been in
structed tbat if any agreement is reached,
it onlv be a temporary one incident to the
present situation. No ultimatum has been
sent to the Sultan.
Mr. Gladstone, replying to Mr. Gourley,
said that the government had ascertained
tha* M. de Lseseps in protesting against the
landing of British troops on the property of
the Suez Company seted solely as a private
individual. It WBB not thought necessary,
therefore, to take any steps regarding his
ao-caHed protests The only matter to be
considered with advantage in regard to the
canal, he said, Is the condition 'hit it shall
remain open, which it does
A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from
Constantinople says: “An unpleasant feel
ing has been caused to tbe Porte on account
of the hoisting of the English flag on pub
lie butldlngß when the British occupied
Suez. The Porte has been assured that the
raising of the flag has no significance. The
(tag displayed was tbat of the consulate and
was hoiste i in conjunction with the E.ryp
tian flag. This explanation is not consid
ered satisfactory.”
Alexandria, August 7.—Twenty Be
douins were arrested while pilfering at
Ramleh last evening. The Khedive has
written to Ragheb Pasha that he considers
it incumbent upon his government to give
notice without delay of its intention to in
demnify the sufferers from the disorders at
Alexandria, without distinction of nation
ality, in some manner compatible with the
resources of the country.
Constantinople, August 7.—The Sul
tan has Issued an lrade, granting powers to
Ba!d Pasha and Assim Pasha to agree to the
creating of an international police to pro
tect the Suez canal, and has instructed
them to point out by proclamation the na
ture of his policy in regard to Egypt. Der
vlsch Pasha and Berver Pasha sail for Egypt
this evening. The Jowait states that Arabi
Pasha’s troops will submit to Dervisch
Pasha immediately upon the arrival of the
Turkish force in Egypt.
SuPan Pasha has gone to upper Egypt
with a large number of Bedouins to pre
vent the retreat of the Egyptian force from
ihat dis'rict.
It Is understood that the Turkish dele
gates will shortly present to the conference
drafts of a proclamation against Arabi
Pasha and a military convention with Eng
land. The Porte has received intelligence
that Arabi has ordered the garrison
and population of Ismallia to
retire to Cairo. Twenty-five Frenchmen
will have a special escort. It Is stated that
Arabi has ordered the garrisons along the
Suez canal to avoid conflicts with the Brit
ish. At the sitting of tbe conference to-day
the Turkish delega’es accepted the condi
tions proposed by the powers in their invi
tations to tbe Porte to intervene in Egypt.
Said Pasha has promised Lord Dufferin
that the Porte will issue a proclamation
declaring Arab! Pasha a rebel.

GREAT FIRE IN MAINE.
The Business Portion of Gardiner
Gutted.
Gardiner, Mb., August 7.—The most ex
tensive conflagration that ever visited Gardi
ner began a little before seven o’clock this
evening in Moore & Brown’s planing mill,
on Bridge street, near Water. A cluster of
factories are located on the lower dam on
Cobosse street. At this point the wind blew
the flames away from the main business
street upon the saw mills and foundry.
Owing to the protracted drought and the in
flammable nature of the buildings, this part
of the city was a perfect tinder-box, and
in a few minutes the row of factories
along Bridge street was in flames, It was
found that the local fire depar men*- was In
adequate to cope with the flames, and help
was called from the adjoining towns, which
responded promptly. A high wind now set
in, and drove the fire with great fury down
Bridge street, destroying a number of
tenement houses. The fire made a clean
sweep of the east side of Bridge street,
and then leaped across that, thoroughfare
into High. Middle and Spring
streets, which run at right angles.
These three s’reets were crowded with reel
dences, mostly of wood, many of them be
ing occupied by people of the laboring class.
The engtne? experienced great difficulty In
getting water and could make no
stand against the advancing flame.
The fire burned ail the wav up
High street to the Methodist Church,
which was saved after a gallant fight. The
fire swept off to the northward, destroying
dwellings along Middle and Spring s’reets,
a thickly populated district. Many famtlies
saved only the clothing in which they es
caped from their burning home?. Houses
were torn down tc stay tbe progress of the
fire, which was got under control about
hAlf way down Spring street. Loss $300,-

The Lords and tbe Arrears Bill—
Tb© Irish Constabulary Strike—
The Trial of Walih Begun,
London, August 7.—The Daily Sews says:
“In the event of the House of Lords per
sisting on the Marquis of Salisbury’s amend
ment to the arrears of rent bill, Pa-liament
will be prorogued, and will reassemble im
mediately, when the arrears bill will be re
introduced and sent up to the House of Lords
for reconsideration. Should it again be r. -
jected It 16 probable that the county franchise
bill will be introduced. Should tbat bill pass
the House of Lords, the enlarged constitu
encies will be at ones appealed to. Should
It be rejected, an appeal would be made to
the country against the rejection and de
feat of the arrears bill, and a dissolution of
Parliament would probably take place in
December.”
The recommendation of the Land Com
missioners for the amendment of the land
act Is published. They advise that greater
powers shall be given them to set aside
leases which are unfair in themselves, even
if not inconsistent with the land act of 1870,
and that tenants should be able to obtain a
revision of exorbitant rent, even though it
be fecured by a lease.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
Mr. Trevelyan, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
denied that some of the Irish constabulary
had refused to go on duty. He said there is a
feeling of discontent in the force because of
the delav in the distribution of the recent

matter until the Dolice withdraw from
agitation on the subject.

Breadstuff's In Britain.
London, August 7.—The Mark Lane Ex
press, in its review o'f the British grain trade
during the past week, 6ayß: “Grain has
ripened very rapidly. Jf the weather holds
good, the larger proportion of wheats will
be in the sheaf by the end of the week. All
descriptions of breadstuffs have been dull
and slow of sale. Foreign wheat has shown
a languid demand, and prices have de
clined about 6d. American red wheats de
clined fi.i. to Is. on Friday. Flour
is dull and unchanged. Maize in
London continues scarce, and prices on Fri
day were rather higher. There was rather
a better inquiry for oats, and rates were
firmer. The cargo trade is at a stand-still
for want of supplies. There were two fresh
arrivals. About twenty-four wheat cargoes,
nearly all white wheat, are due this week.
Wheat on passage or for shipment Is spar
ingly dealt in. Prices are rather against
buyers. The sales of English wheat during
the past week were 10,541 quarters, at 51s.

NEW YORK NOTES.
SABBATH LOYERS VERSUS SAB
BATH BREAKERS
Determined Villagers—Nome S un*
nine Engllsk Costumes for the
Belles—Gotham at Newport —Tbe
Art of Mammas—The Casino.
New York, August 5 —An interesting situa
tion has arisen at Dobbs’ Ferry, a straggling
vil age on the picturesque banks or the
Hudson, some miles above New York. It is
only one ©f the many social problems that are
continually arising, and is so ludicrous withal
as to make one burst out laughing. The in
habitants (or some of them rather) ot D. F.
have put themselves in an attitude of defense
against intrusion, mounting cannon on their
steamboat piers, and threatening to open Are
on any party of pleasure hunters that may
make a sign of landing. Last Sunday some of
these warlike people were actually on duty,
dressed in shirt aud trousers, standing
by their cannon, and looking out for the enemy
with an energy worthy of Arabi Pasha and his
followers. This war began in the following
wise: The coarse, unruly elements of the me
tropolis are as fond of summer pleasures as
those who can go to Loug Branch or Coney
Island and dine on the delicacies of the season
and drink their fIU ol Piper Heidsick or Pom
mery Sec. Their day out is Sunday and
out they go on that day in ail direc
tions by river and rail. They have iheir
favorite haunts, which have the common
characteristic of being more or
remote, so as to permit of more license than
the police and the conventionalities of society
admit of. Once in tneir suburban retreat, they
give themselves up to the enjoyment of the
hour. The women sit around quietly enough
and nurse their babies, seldom speaking, for
women of this class are not much given even
to gossiping But the men tip glass after glass
of beer down their great throats, smoke cheap
black cigars, grow noisy and quarrelsome, talk
aoout Sullivan, “Tug” Wilson and o'her
bright and shining lights in the
sporting world, and end up by
cracaing each other on the skHU with their
beer mugs. These big-handed pleasure seek
ers enjoy ail this in their way-in fact, their
relish of the day is keener than that of our
friends at Newport, who court pleasure in a
more refined fashion. This is all well enough
perhaps - better than breathing the hot air of
the city, at least for the youngsters, who are
so stimulated bv the country air that they cry
half the time for mother’s milk, notably. But
the Doobs Ferry folk want to spend Sunday in a
quiet fashion. They want to shut noise,clamor,
uisputes, fisticuffs out. This they can’t do
when the river craft brings crowds of these
rude merry makers to them every quiet seventh
day morning. One of the residents—who may
be termed Arabi Pasha—proposed the remedy
of armed defense. As yet no blood has been
shed, but the men at the sides of the cannon
sc .n the shimmering snrface of the river every
Sunday as if thirsting for gore.
Ladies are going crazy over the new English
walking dresses that have come in for the sum
mer. They are stunning, and as soon as they
appear are widely copied, so that the streets
present the charming spectacle of many women
dressed beeomi gly. Of course I refer to the
most fashionable streets, for the new styles are
far too expensive to be adopted by any but
women of fortune. The most attractive of all
is the ‘ forest brown satin merveilleux” dress
The front is very striking. It is trimmed with
plaits which radiate from a centre and grow
larger as they ne tr the ground. The plaits are
edged with cream colored lace wi h a second
row of the lace slightly above the
edge and two panels of the forest brown satiD
run down either side of the front. The pau
iers, which are made very flat, are also of satin.
There ia considerable drapery at the back, with
bits of pale pink satin introduced quietly to
show off the particular shade of “forest”
brown. The bodice has a row of cream tinted
lace, under which is a pink bow, and the hat is
forest brown trimmed also with pink. A prettv
girl encased in such a costume is a decidedly
pretty girl. Her feet should be symmetrical,
for they are lav shly shown by the short skirt,
another walking dress quite the rage, but not
so distingue , has a skirt of cardinal satin, end
ing in a heavy ruche over which is draped a light
yellow fawn polonaise. The folds are drawn
back from the front and fastened low down
The hat is of cardinal satin and a yellow fawn
parasol is carried. It is lined with cardinal.
Then there are other new costumes. The com
monest kind has a skirt composed entirely of
bln k flowers over white lace, and the bodice
and paniers are made of black moire. The
p<niers ate short, and do not hide the lace
skirt. It is said that the coming fashion for
evening wear is to have bodices half high.
They are cut out for about hree inches all
around the neck and have bead or lace traps
parent sleeves quite long. Nothing could bet
ter illustrate the hold which EDg’ish fashions
have on New York ladies than the avidity with
which these latest importations have been re
vived. They possess the charm of beauty,
which certainly cannot be said of all the fash
ions that come from over the sea.
A visitor in Newport just now sees many
familiar New York faces and figures. That
city by the sea is much like a foreign resort,
and for that reason (atr least there is no need
for any other reason) some of "the best.” peo
pie in the city go there in the hot season to see
each other, talk about each other, flirt, intrigue
and indulge in the m oy frivolities of vanity
fair. When the cynical observer watches this
vain show as it goes on he is constrained to re
mark to himself that the “best people” do not
seem to be happy, however hard they may be
trying to be so Ostensibly in pur- uit of rest and
recreation they are weighed down with cares
and anxieties thatthev have brought with them
snd. in fine, with some through a desire to
make the most o’ prssing op ortunities, the
season is attended with the activities and trials
of a set campaign The mother with one, two,
three marriageable daughters, is as much con
cerned in the fate of her progeny (beg your
pardon, my dear madam!) as a nervous hen is
with her brood of young chickens. What young
man or trousered person of any age, supposed
to be unmarried, does she not eye euviousiy
and seek to know—or rather know of, for she
will not let him come near her daughters, how
ever rentlemaulv he may look, until
she knows his rankl When mamma
has several young men to keep an eye on, she
has quite enough to keep her employed. As
for tue young ladies, they work hard at dress
ing and undressing. If they didn’t, the Misses
?poondyke would say that the Mi-ses Van
Wyck must be Door, though proud, for tbat
Miss Marianna Van Wyck has worn that sea
green pelisse all day It is well enough, p-r
--haps, that these people of quality (this is not
Europe.it is true, but this word fits their
own ideas of themselves) have ev n these
trifles to engage them. As it is they
do not appear to enjoy life very
much They .00k so tired much of the time,
ana dreadfully bored. Mamma, who has the
daughters, always looks tired. No wonder.
She is always going to market. While tbe
fond mother is busy at husband hunting, the
daughters *re engaged in the same pursuit,
but in a different way. They make the most
of their charms bv curling their hair, and an
indulgent use of the rouge pot and powder
puff (poor, deluded creatures, lhey think they
are by this means improving their marketable
qualities I) and wear their prettiest
dresses. Occasionally a young woman
endeavors to incite envy in the
breasts of her rival by making her appearance
in some striking costume or article of wearing
apparel. The other day a young woman with
a “deucedly pretty face, eead!” as a Bruns
wick Hotel young man expressed it. covered
herself with glory and put other young women
to rout and shame by wearing a hat that con
sisted of a huge bronze spider surrounded by
meshes of web Several voung bucks fol
lowed her around, our Brunswick Hotel
friend among them. That incident of the
spider hat was koowii half over Mew
port by nigty. A spirited belle avenged
h rself the next afternoon by walking over the
same course, carrying the most asto ishir.g y
gorgeous parasol that ever bobbed on the
beach. So the vain show goes on. I’here are
no end of dandies here—old ones who brush
their hair all the more carefully because it is
confined to the sides and back or their empty
pates; some In their prime, striving to appear
younger than they are: and some youngsters,
who cut a ludicrous figure witt| thair heavy
swell airs and smooth chins When our young
friend has buttoned himself up in his faultless
tailoring and is hsndsomely cravated
booted and gloved, he sallies out to dawdle’
He ogles the young ladies on the walks and
piazzas through his single eye piece, screwed
in with artistic g-ace (from iong practice be
fore h g gla'g in his hotel quarters), and strug
gles to make what conquests he can. When
he rides out he leans back wearily in a Victoria
with a languid air of repose. What use is there
for such a man? Mrs Van Wyck and Mrs.
Hpoondyke are after him pell qjeli. neverthe
less. They want him fer tneir daughters be
cause his papa has untold bags of money
Well, well, it is a pity these enterprising old
dowagers couldn’t capture the whole lot and
make an end of them! Newport has other
occupations tnan this cap pulling and dawd
ling. A stout dame expressed her displeasure
the other day with a New York snob by stick
ing him in the riba with her parasol This
striking scene took place on one of the moat
fashion ble promenades. They say the aleek
imprudent chap winced and a'tn&st cried out
with pain, and doubtless be will be more cir
cumspect in his conduct during the rest of the
campaign; or, Indeed, until his campaigning
days are over.
The Casino is very popular tJ4s season, and
might be termed a port o f a battle ground In
stead of tne leaders of society, like Mrs Paran
Stevens, Mrs; August Belmont and Mrs Leri
P. Morton giving private receptions, everybody
resorts to this place, which b a circumstance
of advantage to some of the “best people”
who, notwithstanding their position are
forced to bear in mind that their bank account
is far from being inexhaustible. The young
bucks once or twice a week ride at polo, as am

for renown. It is n t so wondazfß
that they do not break their nec£g, as that they
can develop enough energy to undergo the

STLTiNLt. Q*. August s. — Editor Morning
Nines: With the people of Middle Georgia
the month of August is generally a time much
dreaded. The extremely -warm and malarial
atmosphere, combined with the usual dullness
of the season, renders it especially unwelcome.
Such at least has been the case for the past
decade or more; but it seems os though the
present year will be an exception, for during
the entire summer showers of a most plentiful
and refreshing nature have constantly fallen,
and the otherwise tiresome and unhealthy days
of our opening fall season are now brighter
and more pleasant than many of the spring
times heretofore.
The crops in this county (Scriven) are almost
entirely made, and are the best known for
many years past. The yield will be abundant
and the harvest plentiful. Cotton, the priori
pal crop of our planters, is unusually promis
sing. a high state of cultivation has been ob
served, and an enormous quantity of fertili
zers—both home made and commercial have
been used. This, combioed with the very fa
vor.ble seasons, causes the plant to look vig
orous and fruitful, and the broad fields to pre
sent an aspect lovely to behold. The acreage
is somewhat less than what it has formerly
been,but we feel safe in predicting that the pro
e greater than that of auy previous
crop The minor crops of grain, fruit and veg
etables are proportionately fine The increased
acreage and happy prospect of a bountiful
supply of corn is most g atifying, aud will
probably be the greatest blessing our people
have known for a long period. At this season
of the year farmers have been very despond
ent. After labor and toil they have found
lheir efforts in vain, and the young men, as
well as all others ho could doso.have attempt
ed to give up farming and flock to the cities
and other places, seeking employment of some
kind, in order to save themselves and those
who are dependent upon them from actual
Whnt and suffering. But this, in reality, is a
year of peace, health and abundance, which
we trust will give new life and energy to the
farming interest of our state, and thereby re
vive the dormancy of business at home and
commerce abroad,
Tne fence law has been a source of much
contention in tills county for some time past
A considerable number of our most respectable
citizens, who own little or no stock, and who
devote their attention exclusively t. the cul
ture of cotton, desire to abolish the present
fence system and require those who own stock
to either them keep them up or dispose of them
altogether, this project has worked well in
some sections of the fetate, but its benefits and
conveniences, if it has any. are reserved for
the distant future of the people of Scriven
county, as a vast majority of them are de
cidedly opposed to it.
The schools of this county were
never before so efficient and promising
as at present. a large portion of
our taxes are appropriated to maintain the
public schools, and it looks as though the
memogable sayings of the great Webster.
Educate your children and the country is
safe Is the motto of our people in their at
tempt to keep pace with the progessive strides
of tne ae. The high school at this place, un
der the management of Professor Hazlehurst
deserves special praise and commendation. Its
line of instruction is almost complete, its sys
tem thorough, and the students moral and
high-toned.
Syivaoia, probably, is one of the happiest
and most pleasant of country villages. Healthy
quiet and sociable, with a regular Town Coun
cil, Mayor, aldermen a-d the inevitable Mar
shai. with no barrooms to molest its tran
quillity, it is certainly a model home for the
lovers of peace and the votaries of < hri-tianity
Col. J. Lawton Bingeiltbn, our immediate Rep
resentative in the State Legislature, gave it the
name btlvania, from the sylvan and romantic
scenery of the adjacent forest. This being the
centre! point of the county, the court hous-.
about tmrty years ago, was removed here from
a place now known as ' Old Jacksonsboro ’*
situated on the Beaver Dam creek, in the up
per portion of the county. It may not be amiss
to give some of the particulars of the antlouitrv
of the latter named place and vicinity and
thereby verify the fact that cities and towns,
like states and Empires, have their dav of
prosperity and renown, riot a vestige now
remains of that once famous and cherished
country town where the most remarkable trial
in the annals of our Criminal Court once oc
curred, and where the victim-the only man
ever hung in this coun y-was condemned and
executed. The prisoner was a slave who had
murdered his master in the most heinous
and diabolical manner, and whose execution—
though thirty-five years have elapsed-is still
fresh In the memory of many who witnessed it
It was here that the early settlers of this part
of Georgia would meet to hold conferences and
arrange for attacks or plan defenses against
the Indians. But tradition tells us that they
would invariably break up in a row among
themselves, and after they had dispersed onl
fleets and gather upeye
imils and j\w teeth In gut

o ators of our tate have lifted their voices to
