Washington Gazette'. “Oats are being shipped
from here in large quantities. Of course this
means more revenue for our country than is

too, that the farmers are realizing a better

raising cotton exclusively. Besides these large
shipments there are plenty of oats still left in
the country for consumption. Profiting by
the happy experience of tnis year a very large
area has already been sown in this grain, and
before the sowing is over there will be as
much, if not more, land in oats the coming

the fire from the pistol. At the report and
flash f'om the pistol the horse he was riding
dashed off, and a second shot was fired at him,
the ball whizzing close by his head. Neither

Mr. 8. N. Inman, in a letter written to
the Constitution, declines to be a candidate
for the Mayoralty of Atlanta at the ensuing
municipal election. He says: “In declining
to comply witn the wishes of my friends. It
may be thought by some that I am indifferent
to the welfare of our city. I c n only offer
against such an assumption the fact that I have
been trying for years, as a private citizen, by
different means, to forward the interests of the
city, and think I see my way in the future to be
of more service than ever before. Whilst this
expression of confidence has brought embar
rassment to me, it is not the embarrassment
that brings pain. It only strengthens my grati
tude toward our big-hearted city, and impels
me to renew my pledges to study,4jd work for
the good of Atlanta with all the means in my
power as a private citizen.”
A movement is on foot to establish through
out Putnam county a good system of public
schools. The proposition, which meets the ap

the county, is to -proceed according to article 8
section IV. of the constitution of the State,
which says: "Authority may be granted to
count is. upon the recommendation of two
grand juries, and to municfpal corporations,
upon the recommendation of the corporate
authority, to establish and maintain public
schools within their respective limits, by local
taxation ; but no such local laws shall take
effect until the same shall have been submitted
to a vote of the qualified voters in each county
or municipal corporation, and approved by a
two-thirds vote of parsons qualified to vote at
such election ; and the General Assembly may
prescribe who shall vote on such questions.”
Radical Squabbles in Oh io.
The result of the recent election in Ohio
has been to widen the breach heretofore
existing In Radical ranks In Ohio. The
fqllowing correspondence between General
Thomas L. Young and Governor Foster Is
full of bitterness:
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 12, 1882.
7b Charles Foster, Governor, Columbus,
Ohto:
Congratulations on your only victory in
any rebellion. What do you think of your
achievements? The G. A. R. recognize
your efforts In behalf of the soldier element
of our parly, and the Germans in this and
other cities in {Ohio will ever appreciate
your services In their behalf.
Thomas L. Young.
Governor Foster replied to the above as
follows:
Columbus, O , October 13.
Hon. Thomas L. Young, Cincinnati, O :
Your telegram received. Your irony is
excruciating, but a brave soldier (when
sober> is not apt to insinuate cowardice in
others. lam happy over the fact that 1
made a square, honest fight for the taxa
tion of the liquor traffic and the Sunday
closing of saloons. Upon these questions I
shall not take a backward step and will
fight it out on this line. I deny your right
to speak for the G. A. R. or the Germans
upon this subject. Charles Foster.
It is believed that these two telegrams
will be instrumental In stirring ud a bitter
strife between the Garfield Republicans and
stalwarts.

THE FIXED" JURY.
ANOTHER DESPERATE EFFORT
OF THE STAR ROUTERS.
Bob logeraoll Trying to Implicate
Hi e water Cameron In tbe Bribery
’•'raneactione—Addl ;lonaJ Infamy
of tbe Btar Konte Gang—Abortive
K(Torts to Screen tbetr Rascality.
Washington, October 15.— C01. Robert
Ingersoll, counsel for the star route men,to
day distributed a lot of affidavits for pub
lication, the object of which Is to connect
Brewster Cameron, a special agent of the
Department of Justice, with the alleged at
tempts of the government to bribe the star
route jury. The affidavits are in the main
made by employes of the Department of
Justice, who were engaged to watch the
jury and see whether any attempt
at bribery was made by the star
routers. It is charged that three men were
bonght over by the department and that
they, as representatives of the government,
made offers at bribery.
It is charged by the government that the
defendants only procured these men so as
to get their affidavits as an offset to what
they knew the public would be readily con
vinced of, viz.: that tbe jury bad been
"fixed” by Brady, Dorsey and company.
The men who make the affidavits given out
by Ingereoll to-day will be speedily arrested
—probably -to- morrow.
Brewster Cameron, who it Is attempted
to be shown authorized the offering of
bribes on the part of the government, can
prove, by competent witnesses, that Dick
son, the “fixed” foreman of the jury, said
"Cameron knew nothing of the business.”
Some’ of the present affidavit makers were
dismissed from the Department of Justice
before the jury brought in Its verdict.
The whole matter opens up a cesspool of
scandal. From the evidence in the hands
of the government, it cannot be otherwise
than a conspiracy for bribery on the part of
the star route people which must add fur
ther to their infamy. Ingersoll’s object in
making these affidavits public is mainly to
nentralfze the effects of the arrest of the
men who made them.
William Knox Brown, one of the star
route jurors, swears that a man named Ar
thur Payne offered him $2,500 to vote
for the conviction of the defend
ants. Thomas R. Foote, of Washington,
swears he was present when Payne was em
ployed by Thos. H. Fall to corrupt the jury,
and EI ward Taylor swears that he heard
Brewster Cameron, of the Department of
Justice, engage Fall as a special agent to
manage negotiations with the star route
jurors.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
A Lively Debate at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, October 14. —At the ses
sion of the Tariff Commission to-day Prof.
Sumner, of Yale College, New Haven,
Conn., read a paper on the relation of pro
tective taxes to wages. He appeared as a
professional student of political economy,
and argued that protective taxes lowered
wages. Protective taxes did not atm to
produce good government, or to accom
plish any civil purpose at all. Their aim
was Industrial. They were planned to help
some people to get a living. Anything that
lessened the number of persons competing
for wages, or that increased the amount of
capital, increased wages. It was impossible
to raise wages by opposing cheapness
and abundance. A protective system
lessened wealth and enhanced the cost of
all articles of clothing, furniture, crockery,
utensils, tools and machinery. He
denied the allegation that protection
brought capital into use which would
otherwise lie Idle, and he asserted
that the rate of wages obtained here was
due to economic forces at work. There was
only one thing that could reduce American
wages to European standards, and that was
protective taxes, applied long enough and
with sufficient weight. Mr. Sumner wanted
all protective taxes abolished, and said If
half the list of dutiable articles were put on
the free list, and the duty of the other half
reduced fifty per cent., the revenue would
be doubled, if more revenue was wanted.
Kenner—Then, 1 understand that you do
not want to abolish custom duties? I
understood you to say just now that you
would abolish all taxes.
Mr. Sumner —All protective taxes.
Mr. Kenner —All import duties.
Mr. Sumner—l did not say all Import
duties, not by any means. If you had duties
on tea, coffee or pepper, they would
not be protective taxes. A tax on wines
might be protective. A tax on sugar Is
largely a revenue tax, but It is also partially
a protective tax In behalf of Louisiana
sugar growers. I have no objection to pay
tax to the United States Treasury, but I do
object to pay tax to the Louisiana sugar
growers or to the Pennsylvania Iron and
Ohio wool manufacturers, or anybody else.
Arguments wete also made by Samuel A.
Edgerly, of NeWi York, against an increase
of the duty on cotton ties; by H. P. Col
quitt, of Atlanta, In favor of Increased duty
on Bpanish plrrotes; by General A. Pot's, of
New Jersey, asking, in the sorghum and
sugar interest, for the maintenance of exist
ing duties on sugar; by Stockton Bates, of
Philadelphia, and William A. Burke, of
Lowell, Mass., in favor of existing duties on
cotton and textile machinery.
Mr. Kenner—Did not New England sup
port the first tariff bill signed by Washing
ton ?
Mr. Sumner —No; New England was for
free trade until after the tariff of 1824.
Mr. Kenner —The doctrine of free trade
is one that was advocated in the South for
fifty years.
Mr. Bumner —I hope the South will stick
to it.
Mr. Kenner—lt will not stick to It.
Mr. Bumner —They are going to begin
manufacturing there, to their very great
ios>.
Mr. Oliver —Do you mean to the great loss
of the Bouth or of New England?
Mr. Sumner —New England can stand it.
Ido not think it would be any loss to tbe
country if there was no New England.
Mr. Kenner —1 agree with you In that last
remark.
Mr. Sumner—And it would be no harm to
the'conntry if there was no Louisiana, either.
Mr. Kenner—Yes, It would be. We tried
to leave the country, and you would not let
tfs go; and now you say that Louisiana
would be no lose. That is a non sequitur
which I do not understand.
Mr. Sumner—We should all live here and
be happy, and get our living, if there was
not any New England or any Louisiana or
any Pennsylvania.
Mr. Kenner—You mean, I suppose, if
there was no North and no South. We have
heard enough ot that.

OUR GREAT STAPLE.
Returns as to the Crop for October.
Washington, October 14.—Cotton returns
of the Department of Agriculture for Oc
tober Indicate an unusual size and vigor of
the plant and capacity for large production.
The late development of the fruitage and re
puted indication of a small too crop limit the
otherwise extraordinary prospect. The coin
cidence appears of the same general average
of the condition of 1881 and 1882—for June,
July and August 89, 92 and 94, respect
ively. During August and September, 1881,
tbe condition fell from 94 to 66, but in the
same period this season to 88 only. This is
higher than any October for ten years, with
two exceptions, 1875 and 1878. Compared
with August returns, there Is a loss ot one
point in Florida and Texas, two In Alabama,
three In North Carolina and Georgia, four in
Virginia, Mississippi and Arkansas, five
In Tennessee, and six In South Carolina.
The fieures for Virginia are 86, North Caro
lina 85, South Carolina 89, Georgia 86,
Florida 82. Alabama 88, Mississippi 82,
Louisiana 82, Texas 100, Arkansas 96, Ten
nessee 84.
Rains have been abundaut throughout the
belt, with a few local exceptions in tbe
southwest. Severe storms are reported
generally, with occasional Injurious conse
quences, while some correspondents claim a
benefit In the partial breaking of tbe roots,
stopping the growth and hastening maturi
ty. Rust Is light and not Injurious. The cat
erpillar is present In the Gulf States, but
no appreciable damage is reported. East
of the Mississippi the partial loss of leaves,
where the worm exists, is favorable to the
development of the bolls. Slight damage
Is reported in Madison and Caddo parishes
in Louisiana, and in a few Texas counties.
The boll worm Is doing some injury In some
bottom lands of Russell county, Alabama.
In Dallas, Denton, Eastland and Stephens,
Texas, in Pope, Arkansas, and in Fayette,
Tennessee, the pest has perhaps done
more injury than the caterpillar, but the
losses from all insects being insignificant,
tbe range of possibilities between an early
frost and a long and favorable season for
maturing and picking is much wider this
season.than nsual, owing to the present
rank growth and greenness of wood and late
ripening.
The returns of the yield per acre of
wheat as estimated from the result of the
returns foreshadows that the product
slightly exceeded 500,000,000 bushels, and
possibly reaching 520,000,000. The acreage
yield per acre appears to be nearly
fourteen bushels, on an acreage slightly
less than 37,000,000 acres. There Is a reduc
tion of area In the sprlDg wheat region, and
a large yield in the great winter wheat
growing belt of the West. Taking the
highest figures indicated by these returns of
the yield a distribution of production gives
248,000,000 bushels, or nearly half the crop
of the United States, to the six principal
winter wheat States, Ohio, Michigan.
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas,
The spring wheat of the Northwest may
make 113,000,000 bushels. The Pacific coast
crop, which has been persistently exagger
ated In commercial estimates, cannot much
exceed 44,000,000 bushels. The Middle States
produced about 40,000,000 bushels, and the
Southern States slightly In excess of 50,000,-
000. Slight modifications may come from
further investigation, as the results of the
harvest are more closely tested, but the to
tal amount cannot be much changed.

BEATEN AND ROBBED.
A Drover Nearly Murdered.
Vicksburg, Miss., October 14— Ed
Maxwell, of Louisiana, was discovered near
the roadside several miles east of this city
yesterday evening in an Insensible condi
tion. He has so far recovered as to give
some Information regarding the attempt to
murder him. He was driving cattle to
this city on Thursday, and had
employed two negroes to assist him. When
at Newman’s pond he was struck by one of
the negroes with a clnb and knocked sense
less. He was then robbed of his money,
valuables and horse and saddle and dragged
to the spot where he was found. His
wounds are pronounced very serious. The
negroes are still at large.
THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
HOW SLAYBACK WAS KILLED.
Two Side* of ibe Story-Editor Cock
rell’* Statement.
Bt. Louis, October 14. —Colonel A. W.
Slayback, accompanied by W. H. Clopton,
visited the editorial rooms of the Post-
Dispatch yesterday afternoon to demand
satisfaction of Colonel John A. Cockrell tor
assaults made on him in the columns of that
paper. Col. Slayback was shot and killed.
John M. McGuffln, business manager, and
Victor T. Cole, foreman, at a late hour last
night made a statement of what occurred in
the room where the shooting took place.
They say in substance that 81ayback, on en
tering the room, threw his coat back and
drew a revolver, and advancing
said; “ Well, I’m here, sir. ”
Then observing a weapon on Cockrell’s
desk, he asked, “Is that for me ?” to which
Cockrell replied, “No ; it’s for use only to
defend myself.” Slayback then said,
“You are prepared to draw,
then draw.” Aud Cockrell an
swered, “I don’t care to draw, 1 don’t
want to draw. Go away from hese. I don’t
want to have anything to do with you.”
Slayback and Clopton meantime pressed
forward and crowded Cockrell against
the wall. Then they all got into a
tussle, each having hold of the other, Cock
rell being most crowded. The latter asked
McGuffln to take Slayback’s pistol from
him, and while he was trying to do so the
weapon was discharged and Slayback stag
gered, and in a moment sank to the floor.
Tbe iDquest on the remains of Colonel
Slayback oegan about 3 o’clock this after
noon in the court room, and was con
tinued until after dark. Wm. H. Clopton,
who accompanied Colonel Slayback to the
lost Dispatch office, testified, stating dis
tinctly that Slayback was shot while
he was in the act of taking his coat
off, and repeating his former statement
that S'ayback was not armed, and therefore
could cot have drawn a revolver. The other
principal witnesses were John M. McGufflo,
business manager, and Victor T. Cole, fore
man, who were in the room when the shoot
ing took place. Their testimony did not
differ materially from their statement as
telegraphed. Both testified emphatically
that Slayback drew a revolver as soon as he
entered the room; that he and Clop
ton advanced on Cockrell, the
former holding his pistol at short
arm, and pointing toward Cockrell;
that Cockrell uttered tbe words, and gave
warning ss telegraphed last night; that
quite a brief tussel took place; that Cock
rell fired; that Clopton closed with Cock
rell, and only released his hold of him
when McGuffln placed the pistol he had
taken from Slayback to Clopton’s head
and told him to do so or he was
a dead man. McGuffln produced
the pistol he took from Slayback. It was a
pearl-handled revolver of British build and
pattern, of 38 calibre. It shows signs of
having been carried in warm weather, the
cylinder being rusted by perspiration.
Mr. Cole produced Col. Cockrell’s pistol.
It is a black-handled Smith & Wesson re
volver of 40 calibre. Several other witnesses
were examined, but their testimony
was not material. The jury, after
being out about half an hour, re
turned a verdict that Colonel Slayback
came to his death from the effects of Inter
nal hemorrhage caused by a gunshot wound
in the chest inflicted with a bullet fired from
a revolver In the hands of John A. Cockrell.
The physicians who made the post mortem
examination testified that the ball passed
through the lungs from left to right, and
severed the aorta on its passage, which pro
duced hemorrhage.
After the verdict was rendered Col. Cock
rell was returned to his cell, where he will
remain until Monday, when his counsel
will make application for his release on ball.
St. Louis, October 15.—Colonel Cockrell
at the Coroner’s Inquest yesterday gave the
following account of the shooting of Col.
Slayback :
“A few minutes past five o’clock I was
sitting at my desk, talking with Mr.
McGuffln, the business manager of
the paper, and Mr. Cole, the
foreman. The door was closed.
My pistol was lying on my desk, for I had
intended to pises it in my pocket in chang
ing my coat on leaving the office. Suddenly
the door opened and two men en
tered, closing the door behind them.
I was facing the door. I recognized
Colonel Slayback anil Mr. Clopton, a law
yer, who had a few days before as
saulted two members of his profession
in his private office. I realized that I was
to be assaulted, and arose from my chair.
Col. Slayback’s bearing was that of a man
bent on violence. His first words were:
‘Well, I am.here.’ He started as if to draw
off his coat. I was In the corner next”
to the front window. Instinctively I
moved my hand toward the
weapon on the desk. He saw it and sud
denly readjusted his coat and said: ‘ls
that for me?’ at the same time throwing
bis hand to his hip pocket. My reply was:
•No, sir;’ but I secured my weapon. As
he drew his he presented It at me and I
heard him cock It.' I shouted: ‘Don’t do
that!’ and at the same time, while his
weapon was pointed at my breast, I fired,
believing myself at the moment a dead man.
“I knew nothing of the effect of the shot,
for he closed with me and thrust his re
volver against my side. At the same time
Clopton approached me from behind and
tried to wrest my pistol from my hand,
which was hanging by my side. I shouted
to Mr. McGuffln: ‘Don’t let these men kill
me.’ He tore Col. Slayback’s pistol from
his hand and pointed it at Clopton’s head,
under the Impression, I presume, that he
was trying to shoot me. At that instant Col.
Slayback released his grasp upon me, and I
realized for the first time that ho had been
hurt. I left the room while Mr. Clopton
was calling for a doctor, my head bleeding
from a cut received when I was forced
against the window in the scuffle, and went
into the lower office to wa6h myself.”

Wheeling, W. Va., October 14 —Goff’s
majority will be about 1,850. The last
news from the Second district looks favora
ble for John W. Mason, Republican,by about
fifty majoriry. Gibson, Democrat, in the
Third district, is elected by a much reduced
majority. Kenna, Democrat, in the Fourth

ty in the Btate is reduced 6,000 or 7,000.
Gen. Goff took strong grounds in favor of
protection,and made the an tariff issue,while
the Democratic platform was silent on tbe

The latest returns confirm the election of
John W. Mason to Congress in the Second
district over Wilson, the Democratic candi

from the Fourth district reduced the Demo
cratic majority for Gibson to about 800.
The Republicans have made decided
gains in the Legislature, but not enough
to control It. The Democratic majority in
the State on the Supreme Judge wiu proba
ble not exceed 2,000, and some Republicans
even doubt the election of the Democratic
candidate.

THE LOST JEANNETTE.
Danenhower on the Stand.
Washington, October 14—The Jeannette
board of inquiry this morning began the
examination of Lieut. Jno. W. Danenhower.
Witness joined the Jeannette at Havre,
France, on July 7,1878, and made the voy
age to Ban Francisco in her, arriving there
December 18, 1878. Some months
previous to joining the ship
he had expressed his willingness to go upon
the proposed Arctic expedition,and in Jane,
187S, he received a telegram at Smyrna
from Jaß. Gordon Bennett, saying that his
services were accepted. After reaching Ban
Francisco witness came East to visit friends.
On the Ist of April, 1879, having been de
tailed by the Naw Department, witness re
ported to the Commandant at Mare Island
navy yard to resame duty on the Jeannette.
At the instance of DeLong he was ordered
to report the progress of the repairs and
alterations upon the ship, written specifica
tions for which were furnished him by De-
Long. Witness was unable to produce these
specifications in evidence, as they were lost
on board the Jeannette.
“Where is the Jennette now?”
Witness slowly replied: “She sank in
thirty-eight fathoms of water on the 13 h
of June, 1881, in latitude 77 degrees 15
minutes north, longitude 156 degrees 6
minutes east.”
In response to inquiries witness described
in detail the repairs which were made upon
the hull of the Jeannette under his super
vision at Mare island navy yard, and stated
that the work was first class in every particu
lar. He added: ‘‘Two men were constantly
on board who were looking out
for our Interests. Theee were Mr.
Stephens, a practical and thorough
ship carpenter, who was lost with Lieuten
ant Chipp’s party, and Jack Cole, the boat
swain, who returned with the men from
Siberia and is now in the insane a e ylum.
Both of theee men were special employes of
Mr. Bennett, aDd I frequently availed my
self of the valuable practical suggestions
of Stephens. The authorities at
the yard afforded every (facility. On the
23d of April Lieutenant Chipp arrived at
San Francisco, and, as he was to be execu
tive officer of the ship, he was anxious to
assume charge of the work of preparing her
under directions from DeLong. Witness,
therefore, turned over everything to Lteut.
Chipp, except the matter of disbursements.
At this date the work of repairing and
strengthening the hull of the ves
sel was practically completed. After
the vessel came out of the dock
her boilers were housed in. Heavy trusses
were placed lu her main coal bunker space,
and repairs to her rigging were made under
direction of Lieut. Chipp.”
Witness was asked: “What was your
opinion of her spars as to strength, and also
as affecting her sailing qualities?”
“Her spars were all right as to strength.
I thought she should have been repaired be
cause she could not tack under sail.”
Witness then described the rig of the
Jeannette, which was that of a barkentine,
with patent rolling topsails.
At 12 o’clock the board took a recess for
half an hour. After the recess the examina
tion of Lieut. Danenhower was resumed.
Witness thought the Jeannette was made as
strong as it was possible to render her, and
that the deviations from the recommenda
tions of the first board were improvements
and added to her strength. He thought he
knew who was responsible for these devia
tions, but did not care positively to state.
The question was not pressed, though the im
pression was given that the deviations were
at the instance of DeLong. Witness thought
the model of the Jeannette was not suited
to Arctic cruising. A clipper build, with
flare outside and kettle bottomed, would, in
the opinion of witness, be better, because
It would shove under and leave the vessel
better than if she were wedge-shaped. In
describing the model of the Jeannette,
Lieutenant Danenhower said she was
a single frame vessel, and lightly
built. Her greatest breadth was at
the forechains, just abaft foremast.
From that point to the near mainmast she
had a very full under water body. She was
very much cut-away fore and aft, and her
sides tumbled home slightly from above
water line. Her stern was not protected
with iron straps, as was the case with her
bow. At this point the court adjourned till
II a. m.
THE EASTMAN MURDERERS.
Preparations for Their Execution—Ru
mors of Efforts to Prevent Their Pun
ishment—The Citizens Prepared for any
Emergency—Determined that all Riot
ing Shall be Put Down, and that Jus
tice Shall Take its Coarse.
Eastman, Ga , October 13.—Various and nu
merous intimations having been received that
we might have trouble on the day of the hang
ing of the six negro rioters recently convicted
of the murder of James Q. Harvard, on the 6th
of August last, and that an effort would be
made to rescue the prisoners and prevent their
execution, the citizens of Eastman held a meet
ing the other night and resolved themselves
into a temporary military organization for
the protection and safety of the town,
and to assist the Bheriff in preventing
trouble of any sort should any unlawful at
tempt be made by the negroes. L. M. Peacock
was elected Captain, W. W. Harrell and J. M.
Sapp Lieutenants, and J. Bishop, Jr., Orderly
Sergeant. The organization is to last only so
long as the necessity is thought to exist, and it
is to be subordinate to the Sheriff and subject
to his directions in case that officer should
need assistance in keeping the peace and
carrying out the sentence of the law.
The meeting adopted a resolution requesting
the City Council to put on duty a sufficient
police force on the 20th instant, the day of the
execution, to protect the town and maintain
order. Also, a resolution was passed recom
mending that the Council put on duty several
extra policemen for a few nights before and
after October 20.
<?n motion the following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That tor the protection of our
town against any trouble possibly arising from
intoxication on the day of the execution of the
six negroes to be hanged here on the 20th inst.,
we, the citizens of Eastman here assembled do
respectfully petition the barkeepers of East
man and neighboring towns to neither open,
nor allow to be opened, their barrooms at any
hour on Thursday or Friday, October 19th and
20th.
The Secretary, by request, has sent copies of
this resolution to Hawkinsville, Cochran Du
bois, Cbauncey. Mcßae, McVille. and Lumber
City. While in Cochran yesterday I was told
that the matter was being very favorably con
sidered there. Our neighbors can readily
see how important this is to us, for if there
should be any trouble or disturbance on the
day of the hanging the disastrous consequences
would necessarily fall directly and almost solely
upon our town and community, and we have
already suffered great expense, inconveni
ences and damage to business in consequence
of the famous riot of August 6th. I believe
all trouble may be avoided if all who come
here on that day will come perfectly sober
and remain sober until the whole thing is over
with. It is true there have been a good many
rumors of threats of violence and of proba
ble attempts to forestall and prevent the exe
cution on the part of the colored people.
While the cases of the rioters were being
tried Judge Pate received a threatening
anbnymous postal card from Macon.
Directly after the trials a scurrilous and
shameful editorial article was published in
the Atlanta pefiance, a negro paper, outrage
ously attacking our court, juries and officers
and everybody at all connected with the trials
in any capacity whatever, and calling upon the
negroes of the whole State to know whether
they would tamely submit to this thing. This
was copied by the Savannah Echo, another ne
gro paper, and recently that sheet publishced
another article totally unfounded in truth or
reason, and calculated to incite the negroes to
violence and interference with the due course
of law and justice. Besides this,
when the Sheriff left here with the prisoners
to take them to Bibb county jail for safe keep
ing until the day for their execution, a crowd
of excited negro women gathered around them
at the depot In this place and made use of
threatening expressions. Another anonymous
postal card was put in our post office a few
days since addressed to “Mr. Everybody, by
G—d,” and profanely threatening trouble on
the day of the hanging, saying that “when
those negroes are hung we will all die to
gether."
There have also been reports of numerous
other threats circulated in this section that
have never reached publication. Bherifl Sapp
received a letter from the jailer In Macon
yesterday, saying that he had information that
the colored people there were organized for
the purpose of preventing the prisoners from
being brought back here and executed, and
that it was rumored that the railroad track
between here and Macon would be torn up and
the train wrecked on the day the prisoners are
to be brought down ,in order to rescue them
It is further said that the negroes in all the
neighboring counties are in sympathy with
the unlawful and unreasonable movement,
and that a thousand negroes may be
brought here on the 20th instant or the night
before to play the mischief.
It is impossible to say whether or not any of
these threats will be carried out. Some of
them may have originated in the brain of some
fellow desiring to get up a sensation for the
mere fun of the thing, or they may be the va
garies of some foolish young negro bucks who
think they know everything, but really haven’t
seme enough to foresee the rashness and dan
ger of such an undertaking as that which has
been threatened. At any rate, it were well for
those who are disposed to participate in such
an unlawful enterprise that they bear in
mind that we are determined to nip in the
bud every probahle or even possible disturb
ance, and we are therefore organized and will
be prepared to meet any emergency. Sheriff
Sapp will have a hundred or perhaps two hun
dred armed men on duty from this county
These will be backed by the whole town, under
command of Mr, Peacock, as alreadv stated
In addition to these/thirty or more weli
equipped men will comedown from Cochran
to assist in guard duty, and there may be more
from other places. It is our Intention simply
that the law shall assert its majesty at all haz-

YELLOW FEVER.
NO IMPROVEMENT AT PENSA
COLA
Relief for tbe Sufferers—An Italian’s
Professed Remedy for tbe Disease
—'File Outlook In tbe Sonibwest.
Brownsville, Tex., October 14. —The
people here desire mall communication re
established now that the sickness is over.
But one mail has been sent from here since
the establishment of the quarantine. No
new cases of yellow fever reported to-day
at any places near here. The weather is
showery.
Havana, October 14 —Six deaths from
yellow fever occurred during the past week.
New York, October 14. —Eight hundred
a r and fourteen dollars were received at the
Maritime Exchange to-day for the relief of
the yellow fever sufferers at Pensacola.
Augusta, Octobsr 14.—The Southern Ex
press Company will forward free money and
other contributions for the relief of the yel
low fever sufferers at Pensacola.
Pensacola, Fla., October 15.—Fifty
eight new cases of yellow fever and two
deaths were reported yesterday, making the
total number of cases to date 1,643, and the
total number of deaths 137. The reduced
mortality is encouraging, but any forecast
founded thereon would be premature. The
weather Is seasonable and pleasant, but
gives no hope of early frost. A family of
Norwegians utterly unacclimated, who ar
rived here yesterday, have been removed to
the woods, a few miles from here bv the
Board of Health.
Edwin A. Adams, Chairman of the Mari
time Exchange Relief Committee of New
York, has authorized the Board of Health to
draw on him for SI,OOO, collected bv the
committee. Mayor Grimes, of Columbus,
Ga., has SSBO, contributed by the citizens of
that city. The citizens of Apalachicola
send $92, and few minor contributions have
been received.
It is rumored that a number of suspicious
cases of fever have occurred at Warrington,
adjacent to the navy yard, and also along
the line of the PeDsacola and Atlantic Rail
road at Milton and beyond. These rumors
are given for what they are worth, without
any assurance of their authenticity.
81xty-four new cases of yellow fever and
three deaths are reported to-day. The
weather is again warm, giving no promise
of frost. A drive through certain suburbs
in company with the Chairman of the Ex~
ecutive Committee of the Board of Health
revealed scenes of destitution and distress
which were appalling. White and col
ored are suffering and alike partak
ing of the relief provided for
the distressed, but the negroes really die of
yellow fever. Dr. White, of the Marine
Hospital Service’ and two other phy

Some sensation has been occasioned by
the appearance of an Italian pro
fessor who claims to be able to
cure yellow fever effectually In the course
of three hours without restricting the pa
tients in drink, diet or locomotion. The
physicians are very indignant, and some of
them propose the Immediate expulsion of
the professor. More prudent counsel will
probably prevail, in consequence, as it is
supposed, of a repetition of some scandal
that generally occurs in epidemics.

new cases of yellow fever to-day and three
deaths—Mrs. Mary Holland, Mr. Gibson
and the wife of Sheriff Hutchinson. Among
the new cases are Col. J. B. Walton,
Salvador Pons and City Clerk Clinton
Knowles. Dr. Creery made hie
appearance on the street to-day for the first
time since his recovery. It is very probable
that we shall have all three of our disabled
physicians on duty again during the present
week. The progress of the disease and the.
large number now under treatment severely
tax the energies of the present force.
Brownsville, Texas, October 15.‘—There
are a few light cases of yellow fever at Fort
Brown. The reports from all other places
inside the cordon show a 6hade healthier
condition. The latest report from Mier and
Camargo say the death rate keeps at from
ten to twelve daily. The weather is hot,
with a strong southerly wind.
Washington, October 15 —During the
week ending October 14th, 24 cases of yel
low fever and 3 deaths were reported to the
Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
service, making a total during the epidemic
of 1,936 cases and 112 deaths. The disease
is diminishing in the ranches. There are
no cases outside the cordon. Official re
ports by mail from Pensacola have
been received, to Include the 11th

Arabl’s Defense—Wolseley’s Return.
Cairo, October 14.—The trial of Arabl
Pasha has been fixed for Monday next. Hon.
Mark Francis Napier will defend him before
the court martial, the Egyptian Government
having allowed the prisoner to chooee his
own counsel, whether native or foreign. It
la expected this selection of counsel will
considerably lengthen the proceedings,
Cairo, October 15.—General Woiseley
has been ordered homer He leaves here on
Thursday, and will embark on Saturday on
the Iris, which will proceed to Trieste so as
to avoid quarantine at Brindisi.
The indictment of Arabi Paaha and his
associates has not been completed. The
prosecution committee believe that the
court martial cannot convene for another
week.
The question of counsel to defend the
rebel leaders causes delay In the meeting
of the court martial. The Egyptian Gov
ernment is preparing a note to Sir Edward
Malet, showing the inconvenience of ad
mitting foreign counsel in the case, and
explaining that the government would
Instead prefer to hand back Arabl Pasha
and his associates to the military authorities
for trial.

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Effort of a Coalition to Unseat the De
mocracy—Fffect of the Lancaster Riot
Position of the Greenback Candidate
on State Issues.
Cherato (S. C.) Car . (10**) New York Herald.
The campaign in South Carolina has
opened with the usual bitterness character—
lstic of political contests in this State. The
Lancaster riot, in which four or five negroes
were killed and fifteen or twenty wounded,
was indirectly and remotely one of the results
of this condition of things. It is true that
a rigid investigation by the State authorities
of the causes which led to that fatal con
flict between the whites and blacks fully
justify the course pursued by the former in
•defending themselves, still, the effect of
that affray does not increase the friendli
ness between the two races, and, as is ad
mitted by intelligent Democrats, is calcu
lated to do great injury to the whole peo
f"®®J tl ? e State with the outside world.
Bill Crockett, the leader of the blacks in
that revolt, is dead and buried. His body
was placed in the ground by some of
the very men whom he had sought to slay.
If any further trouble occurs between the
races in Lancaster it will not be for the want
of warning of the whites. The reports that
the negroes contemplated a general destruc
tton of the town by fire has caused a feeling
of uneasiness among some of the more
panicky. Bome of the Lancaster people
have let the report go out that for every
house burned the negroes shall be held per
sonally responsible. The threat of the ap
plication of this ragged sort of justice is
likely to appal those who have contem
plated the wholesale incendiarism men
tioned. .It was found to work in the dark
days of 1875 ’76 when scarcely a night
passed that the lurid flames could not be
seen leaping up from the burning barns and
dwellings in all sections of the State. In
York county In one night sixteen barns,
with their contents, are said to have been
burned to the ground. Those acts of out
laws were committed nnder the carpet bsg
administration, when men were in power
who were undeserving of the confidence of
the people.
The election takes place on November 7,
and Is for members of Congress, Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, mem
bers of both branches of the General Assem
bly and some other less important State offi
cers. For Governor, the Democrats have
nominated Colonel Thompson, a very in
fluential gentleman and a vigorous speaker.
Colonel A. H. McLane, who has been prom
inently identified with the Greenbackers
ever since the inception of that party, is the
Greenback opponent of Colonel Thompson.
Colonel McLane is about forty years old,
tall, dark and spare. He Is a native of
Georgia, but has resided in this State ever
since he became of age. He is a very de
termined, tbongh a calm, dispassionate man.
Colonel McLane is making a very deliberate
canvass of the whole State, and although
his prospects for success are not particularly
encouraging, he does not appear at all dis
couraged. He expresses the determination
to flgjit Bourbonlsm In South Carolina as
long as he is able to continue on the stump.
Iq his speeches McLane says that he makes
no effort to bring about any race Issue, but
calmly addresses himself to the questions of
importance Involved In this campaign. He
claims that the Democrats have never
carried out the pledges made by them 1o the
people of 1876, when one of the planks In the
platform of that party pledged equal rights
to all and an economical administration of
the affairs of the State Government. Mc-
Lane says that neither of these pledges has
i? e^ carr^ m * Q y others made by
£s2* ( eniocrats in the eventful campaign of
1876, when Wade Hampton was elected
Governor, and that party secured control of
the Legislature and all other de-
£ >a , r is? e J ltß State, are yet un
fulfilled. If a comparison of the present
expenses of the government with those
during the carpet bag administration of its
affairs were made, McLane declares that he
would be ashamed to speak of it upon the
stump. He holds and expresses a readiness
to produce the proofs that it cost the peo
ple of South Carolina far more to conduct
their government than those of North Caro
lina and Georgia, two adjoining States, both
of which are much larger than this. Mc-
Lane is an earnest speaker, and, though not
eloquent, is impressive and logical. He as
well as other nominees of the Greenbackers
expect to receive the heartv support of the
Republicans except In the districts in which
that party have candidates of their own.
Colonel Thompson Is making a vigorous
canvass, assisted by Senators Hampton and
Butler and many other prominent leaders of
that side. These speakers are making elo
quent and earnest appeals to the white peo
ple, and the negroes, too, for that matter,
to come to the rescue and keep In power
their party, which represents the wealth and
intelligence of the Palmetto State. Benator
Hampton pictures to the people all the hor
rors that will result to them If the Inde
pendents or Republicans are victorious.
Ihelr efforts are far more vigorous and en
ergetlc than the situation seems to demand.
So far as the general result in the Btate Is
concerned, many of the leading Republi
cans themselves appear to have no fd?a of
being successful. McLane charges that the
Democrats have inaugurated a systematic
course for keeping him from speaking.
The Indignities offered him at the little vil
lage of Winnsboroon September 36, he and
his friends point to as a part of this pro
gramme. On that occasion McLane says he
was attacked on the streets by Democrats
and roughly handled; that after he went
into the parlor of the village hotel an effort
was made by the red shirts to force ther way
upon hie seclusion, and other Indignities
offered to him, though the Chairman of the
Democratic Committee did all in his power
to suppress these acts.
Col. E. B. Cash, whose fatal duel with
Shannon, in this S ate, about a year ago
brought him so prominently before the pub
lic, is the Independent Greenback candidate
for Congress in the Fifth district. Cash was
the principal speaker at the political meet
ing at the (own of Lancaster on the 27th of
September, which terminated In a row and a
. e , efi f ort to Pi the responsibility
of that calamity upon Cash does notaeem to
be justified by the facts In the case. He Is
charged by some of the white people with
declaring In that speech made by him before
the riot that negroes had as much right to
carry arms as the whites, and some other re
marks to the same effect; but there is
a difference of opinion upon that
point among those who heard the speech.
Cash has been Indorsed by the Repub
lican Congressional Convention of hie dis
trict as an independent candidate of the
Mahone order for Congress from the die
trlct, and that we will make no nomination
of a candidate from the Republican party
but sustain Hon. E. B. Cash ” Caeh is an
attractive speaker, earnest, fearless. He is
said to be a man of considerable means,
which, when a member of the Democratic
party,he gave llb rally to the advancement of
the caue of that side. Cash asserts now that
he has never left the Democratic party, but
rat ner that it has left him. He says that he Is
ready to stand by the platform adopted by
the convention that nominated Wade Hamil
ton In 1876, which pledged the party to a
guarantee of equal rights to all and an eco
nomical administration of the affairs of the
Btate. He is going all over his district ean
vVf,in£ He soiue following among the
white Democrats, and despite the fact that
his candidacy has been frowned upon by
the leaders of that party, even his opponents
admit that he la likely to secure a consider
able vote from that element. No effort has
been made to impede his canvass, as his
determination and personal courage would
be apt to deter any one from attempting to
bulldoze him unless they expected to meet
the responsibility for such conduct. His
election, although by no means sure, Is
thought to be highly probable. If he oaa
secure five or six hundred white votes in
the district he will be elected.
The administration has not been as active
in its efforts to advance the cause of the In
dependents in this Btate as in Virginia or
0^ oIU ? a - The ?sderal patronage
in feouth Carolina haa not been used for thin
purpoee to the same extent that n ha! ,n the
nf! err n and to ' There are here ®veral,
tt n^ y,^mo^rat,c office-holders who
ap POinted under the Hayes adminis
™atl.on. w h° have been allowed to remain.
That changes have not been made In these
cases is certainly a benefit to the people of
the community in which these incumbents
reside, as they are efficient officials.
The intricacy of election machinery
adopted by the Democratic legislation last
winter la calculated to confuse the negro
voters on the day of election, and cause
many votes of that race to be lost.

THE RESULT IN OHIO.
Its Effect In New York as Estimated by
Congressman Cox.
New York Star.
For two reasons Hon. 8. 8. Cox was very
happy yesterday. The first was the fact
that he had just entered on the thirty-third
year of his matrimonial life, and was cele
brating the happy occasion with his good
wife and friends; secondly, he had heard
the news from Ohio. When Mr. Cox was
seen by a Star reporter at his residence last
evening he wore the dress and coat In which
he was married thlfty-two years ago.
Slightly apropros of the occasion was a
lithograph picture which he carried in his
hand, and which represented a grotesque
looking negro child with this description
underneath:
“How old Is I?. Well, if yer takes what
mudder says, I’se goln’ on six; but if yer
goes by all de fun I’se had I guess I’m near
ly a hundred.”
“How does the result in Ohio strike you!*”
asked the reporter.
“It will act as a stimulant all along the
line. Yesterday Cleveland’s election was an
absolute promise; to-day it is an absolute
verity. Ohio is naturally Republican. While
I have been in public life we have not car
ried the State more than half a dozen times.
Our first great victory was in 1853, when I
was Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, and when by the hardest kind of
work we won by 60,000. The German vote
is to be thanked for yesterday’s result.
Without it we would not have won. And it
was changed by the Republican attempt to
foist sumptuary laws on a people who had
left the old country because of arbitrary
Kaleer rule. Such enlightened and philo
sophical men as Stallo objected to having
the government dictate what they should
eat or drink or how they should walk. The
Republicans had run out of material for a
State or National issue, and they fell back
on temperance with the idea that they would
meet with the same meed of success as had
come through this issue to the party in
lowa. The stand they took has defeated
them in Ohio; it will materially hurt the
party in Illinois and Indiana.”
“What is the prospect as to the complex
ion of the next House of Representatives?”
“If this thing keeps up it will have a
working Democratic majority of from
twenty to thirty. We 6hall gain three or
four in Indiana, two or three in Illinois, two
in New Jersey, half a dozen in New York,
half a dezen in Pennsylvania, one or two in
Connecticut, perhaps two in Wisconsin,
one in Minnesota, three in Missouri, and
and possibly one In lowa. The Ohio result
and the Republican divisions hereabouts
may give us ail the California delegation
but one. Page may be returned. We may
lose one in Tennessee, two in Kentucky,
one or two in Mississippi, and two in North
Carolina, and hold our own in Texas, Geor
gia, South Carolina and Kentucky. This,
of course, is a hasty and imperfect esti
mate.”
“Then you think that Ohio will help New
York?”
“Without doubt. No money can change
the prevailing sentiment sufficiently to give
the Republicans the State. They can’t fix
the jury with litter, money or blarney. Yes
terday’s Waterloo also helps us in Pennsyl
vania, especially In the western portion,
which is settled by the backbone of Ohio.
The same Influences which made Ohio
Democratic will wheel Pennsylvania into
line.”
“But it is said that their reverse in Ohio
will stiffen the Republican backbone here.”
“There can be no stiffening after such a
Waterloo. It is too demoralizing.”
ANOTHER OF GUITEAU’S SHOTS.
Discovery of a Mullet Fired at President
Garfield.
A Washington special states that the as
sassination of the late President was recall
ed on Friday morning by the discovery of
what Is thought to have been the second
bullet from Guiteau’s pistol which grazed
General Garfield’s arm and glancing aside
went no one knew whither. Diligent search
was made for this bullet, and the story was
circulated from Baltimore that it had struck
a resident of that city who happened to be
In the Washington depot and had been
turned harmlessly aside by striking a relic
worn about his Deck. After this story
had been proven false the second report was
started that it had, after glancing, struck
and lodged in a mass of putty in a glazier’s
case. The bullet thus found was accepted
as the lost one, and was so used during the
trial of Guiteau, although, according to the
testimony of witnesses, the glazier who car
ried the case could not have been in position
to have thus stopped the bullet. It was
thought the bullet should have gone In the
direction of a heater In the waiting-room,
and to-day a piece of lead resembling a
bullet flattened by having struck the iron
pipe was found in this identical heater, and
is thought to be the missing bullet.

The receipts of spirits turpentine for
August, 1881, amounted to 12,166 casks and
for August, 1882, to 12,157 casis. ’
The receipts of crude turpentine for Au
gust, 1881, footed up 10.60 Q barrels, and for
August, 1882, 8,300 barrels.
The receipts of spirits turpentine for Sep
tember, 1881, amounted to 8,593 casks and
for September, 1882, to 5,956 casks
The receipts of crude turpentine for Sep
tember, 1881, footed up 7,000 barrels, and
for September, 1882, footed up 4,000 barrels.
Here we find that August, 1881 and 1882
run about even in the receipts of spirits for
the month. Prices ranged In 1881 from 38c.
to 48c ; In 1882 the range was 40c. to 43c.
September closed weak, and we find for
this month spirits short, as compared with
September, 1881, say 2,600 casks. Prices
winged In 1881 from 48c. to 51 Wc.; this year
to 44c. If we look fartner we shall
find when September ended that for August
and September we were short In crude re
ceipts over 5,000 barrels crude. This would
represent, to be liberal, 600 casks spirits
Still, this would show fully 2,000 casks
spirits short for September alone. As far
as we have run Into October we are
short say 300 casks, and If we keep
on October will fully equal September In
the loss of receipts. People of course are
wondering at this and asking why It Is.
Here may be found a reason in part dip
ping is seldom heavy In September. The
price now for crude as compared with last
year is fully $1 less. Hence, If the turpen
tine has been made, most of the makers are
holding for better prices of crude. Their
crops have been unusually good and the
turpentine workers think they can afford to
let the trees rest, and not work boxes untVi
late, making the last dipping and scoopW
at one time. Again—and this Is an impor
tant factor—this Is "big election” y',ar and
the rule has been, work as little as possible
in fct,since all our labor is deeply Interested
In politics they are all county savers, and
very many will not work. Elections are a
disturbing element an agricultural
people. The summing up Is, has the usual
crop of turpentine been made? Reports and
men well advised say It has not, and that
outside of “scrape,” the gathering will
show largely short. Be that as it may, the
figures show September short In spirits
heavily. There is strong probability that
Ootober will be of the same order, and It
does look now, that, do Its best, spirits will
be distanced here this year.
Let them that are spiritually turpentine
minded digest this. A word to the wise la
sufficient.
