NOTES FltOM GORDON.
•lack Plane Discourses on Fruit and
Truck Farming.
(iouDox, Junes.—l spent one day at
this place. Business was well-nigh sus
pended on that day. However, Gordon is
situated in a splendid fruit region, and
some of the finest specimens of the (teach
are produced here. There has not been
sufficient attention given in the past to
the cultivation of this delicious fruit in
this neighborhood. The soil is peculiarly
adapted to its growth, and orchards on
large scales could be made exceedingly
profitable by pro(ier energy and effort.
Jvoute of the citizens are waking up to
this fact, anti will increase their number
of trees, as well as introduce many choice
varieties into this section.
The early peach crop has not been r so
bountiful tliis year as last, and the ship
ments are alsiut over. The shipments up
to Thursday night amounted to something
over 200 bushels from this point. They
were nearly all shipped to the Savannah
market. The average price received was
about $2 50 |mt bushel net, the tirst lots
netting about sl4 per bushel. The varie
ties are the Alexander and Arusden.
There are a great many limited orchards
through the country, from which no
(teaches are shipped at all, but w hich
would greatly aggregate the shipments if
brought to market.
lint little attention is given in this sec
tion to what is known as “truck farming.”
A few Irish (Kitatoes have been shipped,
but only one or two are cultivating for
market. The returns for those already
s* nt to market have been quite satfsfac
tor. demonstrating that this crop can lie
cultivated with profit here; in fact, there
are but few (Mints on the Central Road
Ist ween Macon and Savannah where
“ truck farming” has taken hold of tlie
people, as in many other sections of
the State. Talk to the people about it, and
they lay the blame on the railroad—that
their rates amount to prohibition. In
talking with the authorities of the Cen
tral. 1 have always found a disposition on
their part to meet the farmer on most re
sonable terms if their productions aggre
gated a quantity sufficient to warrant
special rates. But there must lie some de
finite volume of business as a basis to
operate ii(oii. I think if the farmers and
railroad authorities would come together,
all complaint on this score would be re
moved at once. .
Around Gordon there is about one hun
dred acres planted in watermelons for
market. There are about 80,000 hills, aud
in the main the vines are vigorous and
and the pros(ioet good. The general
average in this section is about two
melons to the hill, which would make
10,000 melons. Messrs. Frazier & Pear
son. Mr. C. 11. Branan and Mr. Charles
Ivey own these patches, and will increase
their acreage next year if thiserop proves
profitable. These early crops are bring
ing in money at a season when seemingly
it is most needed.
The corn crop is looking promising, and
the cotton is luoking finely under the in
tluence of the hot sun during the past few
days. The oats were not so good as last
year, but it is all housed. 8o also with
the wheat, although this is quite a lim
ited crop. Jack Plane.
FROM HEROINE TO INCKNDIAKY
Tlie Glory of Mrs. Gueilan's Death Sad
ly Marred.
>'ew York, June s.—On May 2:Sd the
artificial flower factory at Xo. 190 Greene
street, ow lied by Mrs. Ixiuise Guedan, a
French woman 02 years old, was destroy
ed by fire. Mrs. Guedan ran up the stairs
w hen the fire broke out and warned her
workmen and the other occupants of the*
house. She herself was the only one who
failed to escape, and her body was burned
to a crisp.
She was much praised for her heroic self
sacrifice and even a monument by sub
scription was suggested. At the Coroner’s
inquest to-day it was learned for the first
time that she had tried to induce two of
her workmen to burn the house in order to
obtain the insurance on it, as she was
financially embarrassed. There is every
to suppose that, failing in her attempt to
induce them to become incendiaries, she
assumed that role herself.

All the Horses Rescued—None of the
Employes Injured—Two O’clock in
the Morning the Hour-The Burned
Canvas the Largest in the World—
Another on Hand.
Chicago, June s.—At 2 o’clock this
morning fire broke out in Bar
uum’s circus, consuming the main
tents, dresses and paraphernalia,
lhe blaze caught from one of the
lamps and the canvas was consumed like
a flash. There was no loss of life. The
animals fortunately were in a separate
tent inside the Base Ball Park and were
not injured. Had they been in the main
tent there would probably have been a
considerable number of w ifd beasts roam
ing about the streets.
When the alarm was turned in the fire
department responded quicklv, but before
any engines were brought into action the
destruction of the main tent was eom
pletc. several streams were played on
the blaze, and the firemen succeeded in
preventing the spread of the fire to the
adjoining canvas, under which were the
cages of the wild beasts. The flames ran
J*P. canvas to the centre poles in a
twinkling, and a gorgeous scene
was presented on the lake front
lor a levy minutes, Michigan avenue for
blocks being as light as day, while the
shipping in the harbor was defined in
clear outlines. The tugs in the harbor
added to the uproar by the incessant
screaming of their steam whistles. The
canvas and guy ropes licing destroyed,
the centre poles were precipitated to
the ground, crushing private boxes,
and carrying the tire in among the
reserved scats, causing their complete de
struction. The night watchman in charge
of the stable tents was apprised in time to
enable the hostlers to lead out all of
the horses quietly. The wild animals had
all been locked up for the night, and as
they could not see the flames! were in no
sense panic stricken, although the smell
of the smoke appeared to have excited
some o| them. The actual loss to prop
erty is estimated at from $15,000
SIO,OOO with no insurance. The interrup
tion of the performance w ill necessarily
increase the loss very considerably to the
show men. The canvas destroyed covered
six acres of ground, and it is claimed to
have been the largest single one in tlie
world. The management have a dupli

tunics not being entirely destroyed, expect
to throw the show open again to-day.

LABORING MEN AT AVAR.
New Hampshire Excited Over the Shoot
ingot'a Striker.
Dover, June s.—Two months ago
thirty tasters in Cloutinan’s shoe factory
at Farmington demanded increased wages.
Their request was refused and their
places were tilled with new men.
Bad feeling has existed ever
since between the scabs and
strikers, which culminated last night
in a row, during which Win. Burrows,
one of the strikers.was shot and probably
fatally wounded. E. A. Lathrop and an
other scab were arrested charged with
the shooting, and, after threats of lynch
ing on the part of the strikers, were
lodged in jail. Much excitement prevails.
Cincinnati, May 5. —At the session of
the International Typographical Union
to-day. some time was spent over the
credentials of a delegate from Boston.
He has not yet been admitted, on account
of the informality of his credentials. The
annual reports of the officers were read,
showing that the union is in a
strong condition and has $3,000
surplus in the treasury. Twenty
five new unions have lieen
added during the past year, and there are
now 175 unions in the international or
ganization represented here by eighty
five delegates.
The boot makers have returned to
work on an agreement that they
shall receive the old rates, and that
hereafter if either party desires to change
the rate of wages they must give the
other side a notice of two months prior to
the close of the season.
Providence, It. 1., June s.—lt is stated
that the strike at Blackstone Xlill grew
out of a misunderstanding of a proposed
change by the speeder tenders, and thirty
five left work, throwing 300 operatives out
of employment. The difficulty will prob
ably lie adjusted.
Lord Kune oerry to iicmrii.
London, June s.— ln the recent debate
in the House of Commons Sir William
Harcourt, Home Secretary, implied that
Lord Itoseberrv, in his capacity of Under
Secretary for the Home Department, was
specially charged with Scotch interests
merely as a temporary plan intended to
propitiate Scotch members. The state
ment of the Home Secretary has
offended Lord Rose berry, who,
on entering the House ol Lords,
to-day took his seat apart from his col
leagues. He has evidently threatened
to resign, and it is asserted that he has
already written to Premier Gladstone
acquainting him of such intention. It is
still hoped, however, that the matter will
be settled.

Macon, June s. —Two brothers named

that tlie bill for the consolidation of the
Southern Pacific aud Texas Pacific roads,
by which the former hoped to acquire a

LYNCHED BY A MOIL
Avengers of a Murder Who Did Not
Even Wear Masks.
Herman, 0., June 5. —Shortly after
midnight Whitney, the murderer ol young
Burchard, was lynched. The mob num
bered about 200. They surrounded the
jail, guards being stationed -with drawn
revolvers to keep back the curious crowd
attracted by the noise made in beating in
the door of the jail. The jailer refused
to surrender the keys and axes were
brought. Whitney knew the purpose of
the assault and crouched upon the floor
of his cell, praying fervently, his voice
being audible outside. The jailer was
compelled to lead the way to YVhitney’s
cell, which was quickly forced
open. A long rope brought by
the mob was put around bis waist.
Half fainting, the man fell on his knees.
He was taken at once into the open air,
and asked leave to pray again. This was
granted, but as he continued too long he
was jerked to his feet,then dragged through
the town into a dense wood that covers
the blurt's. A dozen of the lynching party
warned the populace not to follow, and
intimidated them by a display of revolvers.
It was expected that the court would
hold a special session to try the accused,
but when it was announced yesterday
that the trial would go over to the fall
term the indignation was general and
threats of lynching were made. The mob
was quite orderly in its behavior. No
masks were worn and many of the lynch
ers were recognized. The last seen of
YVhitney was when he was taken into the
woods by the lynchers.
YVhen the woods were reached the pris
oner was handed over to a dozen
masked men. He said that his real name
was F’isher, and not YVhitney, that his
parents lived in Virginia, and that he did
not know whether he had killed Burchard
or not, as he and his partner, named Col
lier, fired five shots each. He then
shook hands with part of the
mob, bidding them good-bye,
after which lie was strung up to a tree.
Tlie mob then dispersed. The Sheriff took
charge of the body this morning, and the
Coroner is holding an inquest. YVhitney
was a desperado of the James stripe. He
and another outlaw named Collier, after
robbing several stores in Gasconade
county on May 19th, attempted to burglar
ize the store of Burchard & Luckee, in the
little town of Bern, at which time they
shot and killed young Burchard, the soil
of one of the proprietors. s
ANXIETY' FOR THE QUEEN.
The Doctors Afraid that She will Soon
lie a Confirmed Invalid.
Boston, June 5.—A cable dispatch
from the Herald's London bureau gives
the statement of a correspondent, who
made it his business to interview a well
known and influential member of the
upper circle in relation to the Queen’s
health. He was informed that severe
dropsical symptoms had set in and
-that the Queen's condition was considered
so unsafe that her doctors all protested
against her present journey to Scotland.
The only thing that caused them to assent
o her going w as the fact that the inability
of Her Majesty to get aliout since the
hurt of her leg has minimized her outdoor
exercise. This has been most sadly
missed, but it is thought that the fresh
air of Balmoral will, to a great
degree, make up for it. The im
mediate result of this ceasing
of out door life has lieen tit after fit of
serious depresson. The melancholy
lias frightened the doctors, and, added to
the internal morbidity of the system, is
causing all who know to anticipate that
at no very distant date tlie Queen will be
comes confirmed invalid, and be confined
to her bed.
China Determined to Fight.
London, June s.—The correspondent
of the Standard , at Shanghai, in a dis
patch dated June 4, says that lie is in a

the right of China in regard to
Annam, Chinufis resolved to fight.
Paris, June s.—The Marquis Tsenge,
the Chinese representative at Paris, Lon
don and St. Petersburg, and who repre
sented China at the coronation of the Czar,
lias been interviewed at Moscow. Hq
said that the diplomatic relations between
France and China would certainly cease
if the former operated in Tonquin without
having previously arranged with China.

FROM BARNWELL.

of Drunken Federal Hirelings—Music’s
Charms on Savage Foes—Hendricks
and the Tilden Ticket—A Lesson in
Economy.
Washington Junes.—lu a letter to a
city paper a gentleman signing Bremner
I tells a long but interesting story. He
| tells it apropos of the coming ceremonies
at Oak Hill Cemetery attending the un
veiling of the statue to John Howard
Payne, who wrote "Home, Sweet Home.”
1 condense the story. The recounter
says that during the month of January,
1860, he received orders to go to Savannah,
which had just fallen into the hands of
General Sherman. From Savannah he
was ordered up the Savannah river, and
after a tedious journey, landed
at a point called Sisters’ Ferry,
and became attached to the
Fourteenth Army Corps as it was about
crossing- into Soutli Carolina. A brief
stop was made at Barnwell. He was at
tracted to an imposing residence sur
rounded by magnificent lawns. As he ap
proached the house he heard curses com
ing from Federal soldiet-s who had sur
rounded it. They were cursing General
Havgood, the owner of the residence, who
was a Confederate officer. The crowd in
creased, and destruction went on apace.
Costly furniture was thrown upon the
lawn aud smashed to bits. A valuable
library, expensive mirrors and splendid
carpets were broken and burned. Brem
ner entered the place. He found
up stairs a lady with her
daughter and small boy. They had the
looks of refinement. They said that they
had been left iu charge of the place by
General Haygood. The rioting went on.
The quarters ney the mansion were set
011 lire. Next tlie drunken soldiery said
that they would burn the house so that
General Haygood, who had caused Union
soldiers to lie shot, could never occupy it
again. They warned the two ladies and
the boy to get out of the building. The
girl only stood up to them. She said that
General Haygood was always kind to
everybody. He had left the house in their
charge, and they had no other shelter.
Her mother was sick, and she feared
that any change would kill her.
She spoke so spiritedly that the soldiers
who were in the xoom went aivay. Sud
denly there was heard boisterous voices
singing the “Star Spangled Banner” in the
drawing-room. There was a piano ac-
companiment. Bremner asked the young
jatlv if she could sing. She said yes. He
induced her to go to the drawing-room
with him. As she entered the croYvd
barely made way, and the soldier who was
playing on the instrument reluctantly
vacated his seat. The young lady sat
down pale but cool. She sang the “Siege
of Monterey,” in which was recounted
the deeds of both Northern and Southern
men who fought together in Mexico. The
impression made by the song was evident.
There was silence and decorum among the
listeners. Bremner suggested that she
sing “Home, Sweet Home.” She sang it
with a sweet, sad voice. There was not
a dry eye there. As the last sound of her
voice faded away perfect silence had suc
ceeded the drunken noise of a few min
utes before. One by one the soldiers
quietly left. The mansion was spared.
It had been saved by the memories and
feelings which are always awakened when
“Home, Sweet Home” is sung well.
A good deal of political interest has
been awakened by an interview which
was recently had in Indiana with Hon.
Thomas J. Hendricks by the YVabash
Courier. The spirit of that interview is
that Mr. Hendricks, if he is called upon,
to acquiesce in a ticket of Tilden and
Hendricks in 1884, would feel it his duty
to respond affirmatively. He thinks that
there is a pretty widespread Democratic
feeling in favor of putting the ticket which
was once uuavailiugly elected into the
field again. He says that it was a mis
take that the ticket was not repeated in
18X0. He says that then he would not
have consented that his name be put in
the second place, as he thought that he
bad served long enough in the Vice Presi.
dential patch of political timber. But lie
has changed his mind. It must be con
fessed that the expression of these views
by Mr. Hendricks creates some surprise;
it also puzzles politicians a good deal.
It shows, of course, that Air. Tilden and
Mr. Hendricks have made up their differ
ences, which were engendered when tlie
latter took the idea in bis head that he
ought to have the first place. Thitt is im
portant politically, and will afford verv
interesting thinking for Western men who
have an idea that they would make good
Democratic candidates. It is doubtless
especially interesting to ex-Senator Mc-
Donald. He and Hendricks are of the
same State. It is impossible for a State
to nTiine both candidates 011 the ticket.
Hendricks’ announced views constitute
really tlie first blow that the McDonald
boom lias met with since it was prema
turely launched about eight months ago.
Of course the general impression is that Air.
Tilden persuaded Mr. Hendricks into the
latter’s present frame of mind. His suc
cess in making a dissatisfied and ambi
tious statesman change front so com
pletely is an evidence of the tact for
which the Gramercv Park candidate is
so justly noted. I find a good many peo
ple who believe that to nominate the 1X76
ticket would be the best plan lor IXX4.
There are many more ol them than 1
really thought there were. Mr. Hendricks’
interview has set all politicians to talk
ing. The discussion of the advisability
,or inadvisability of the 1X76 ticket—there
are so many things involved in the discus
sion-promises to be very interesting at
anv rate.
It is wonderful how many ways of
economizing in material are thought of
and adopted by those engaged in the in
dustrial arts. United States bank notes,
when sent to tiie Treasury for redemp
tion, are put into a macerating machine,
where they are reduced to a pulp. The
color of this pulp is a deep green, (juite
a short time ago it was thrown
away, except a small quantity,
which, was turned into paper-weights and
ornaments of different kinds. The bank
note companies have, however, found out
a way by which the paper macerated can
be, with very little additional cost,
again turned into paper for new, fresh
notes. They now pay a little something
for the pulp and save a good deal of money
bv its re-manufacture.

FARMERS LOSING HEART.
Tornadoes ami Drought Destroying
Their Crops.
Galvfston, Texas, June 5. —A special
dispatch from Dallas says: “The storm of
Saturday night seems to have done its
work of devastation in narrow strips in
sections miles apart. At Cedar Hill,
south of Dallas, farmers report that the
growing* crops were flattened to the
ground, fences were blown
down, and reapers and wagons
standing in the field rolled over
and over by the tury of tlie winds. Near
Hutchins Station the destruction is so
complete as to dishearten the people, some
of whom came to town yesterday, having
given up farming and turned their atten
tion to working as day laborers. Wheat
standing in shocks was scattered to the
winds. YY’ater in huge streams plowed
up the fields aud cut jogged ruts
through what had been model
stands of cotton and grain. Hail
stones of large size • were banked
up in the low places, aud left traces of
the havoc they had wrought. The dead
bodies of sheep, calves, rabbits, dogs and
birds are to be seen on all sides. Fifteen
miles west of Dallas great trees were torn
up and carried long distances. Orchards
were twisted and stripped of their
branches and the young fruit was strewn
on the ground.
Lynchburg, Va., June s.— The drought
in this section has resulted in incalcula
ble damage, and information from the
Southwest represents an alarming state
of affairs. Cattle raisers are obliged to
purchase food for their stock, their pas
tures being all dried up. Crops are also
suffering greatly for want of rain.
YVashington, June s.—lt is said
by the officers of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, that hog
cholera has been practically extermi
nated. Unsuccessful attempts have been
made for weeks past to secure virus from
infected hogs for experimental purposes.
Another post mortem examination of a
cow which died in the District of Colum
bia lias been made by the scientists
of the Agricultural Bureau. The ver
dict is that it was a well detiued
case of pleuro pneumonia, but that it was
an original case, and not one acquired by
contagion. The doctors say that the num
ber of cases so far discovered in this sec
tion of the country have been so few that
they have grave doubts of any of them
having been the result of contagion. They
say that there is no occasion for alarm,
and that there is less disease among cattle
now than at many times in the past, but
that careful co-operation is needed to pre
vent serious consequences.

Berlin, June 6.—The AortA Herman

consulted judicial authority in relation to
the dissolution ot the Federal treaty with
a view to abolishing the Reichstag. The
government bill modifying the Alay laws
lias been reopened, and will be introduced
in the Landtag to-day. It permits the

obligation to give notice to the government
of changes injunbeneficed curacise, or of

diction of the ecclesiastical court is abol
ished, except as regards the duty of giv

discipline and clerical rights. Appoint

affecting the position of incumbent as a

practicing with a big revolver in
a tavern yard. His case was in
vested with considerable mystery and im

it appeared that the man was not a Fenian

THE SMALL-POX PLAGUE SOME
WHAT ABATED.
How the Pestilence Crept into the City—
The Widespread Consternation A
Rally to Throttle It in its Advance-
Better Accommodations for the Pa
tients.
Jacksonville, June 4.— Tlie calm after
the storm is at hand, and it is with much
pleasure that your correspondent can say
the present condition of affairs in this
city is much better than it was a fortnight
j ago. There has been some effective work
! done the past week to eradicate from our
midst the loathsome pestilence which has
stalked abroad since March, wrapping its
deathly mantle first around one and then
another. Arrested here to-day and held
in check until all felt satisfied that its
grasp was broken and tlie monster con
fined, and safety from its clutches existed
any where outside of the ill-fated chamber,
but about the time all began to feel secure
from its stealthy invasion, again would it
appear at some other place, and two or
three (lersons oe prostrated liefore it could
be arrested. This, as a matter of course,
created much talk, and tlie facts were so
exaggerated that people became more ex
cited and alarmed day by day, and all the
officials were accused ol apatliv and ne
glect, and this with several deaths and
one exposed ease on the streets during the
cool mornings of two weeks ago, created
such a storm of excitement and indigna
tion that the most lethargic were aroused
to action, and, instead of sitting idle and
murmuring longer at what the health
officer was doing, went to work themselves
to assist him in his arduous labors, and
the result has been a quieting of the ex
cited, a removal of all eases from the city,
a thorough cleansing of the infected prem
ises, and a strict enforcement or all rules
tending to an extermination of small-pox
in Jacksonville, and to-day the outlook is
more cheerful than it has been for a month.
Probably the most judicious measure
adopted by our authorities to stop the
spread of the pest was the result of a
siiKSestion of Dr. Henry Robinson, a
County Commissioner and Superintendent
of the County Hospital, which was the
abandonment of the rude structure used
for a pest house, and the occupying of the
County Hospital by the sick—a comfort
able and well arranged building. The
unfortunates were accordingly trans
ferred by Superintendent Babcock Friday
to their new quarters, and the rudely anil
hastily eons true tod building ordered burnt
to-day.
None refuse to go and occupy a room in
the present pest house, but every one
stoutly resisted going to the other, and if
all was known probably no humane per
son would blame them. The idea of being
sent to the pest house three weeks ago
was perhaps the whole cause of secreting
cases in the city from the proper
authorities. Now this is no longer
to be contended against, as the
present premises are acceptable to
our white citizens, and, of course, will be
to the colored. Here they are cared for
at public expense and treated by skillful
physicians, and looked after by "Dr. Bab
cock, and there is not a man living who
has a more teuder heart than he has. A
brute w ould not be permitted to sutler one
minute could he prevent it.
This scourge has laid a heavy hand on
Dr. A. W. Knight, the efficient City Health
Officer, whose sister-in-law, and a member
of his household, fell a victim to it two
weeks ago, and now his tonr-year-old
daughter is stricken down. He, seeing the
condition of his own household, asked
permission to be relieved from duty, that
he might accompany his family to the
hospital. His request was granted, and he,
sacrificing all home comforts, and without
a word of complaint, gathers his little fami
ly a round him and goes to occupy a room in
the new pest-house. Noble hearted Christ
ian gentleimfli, he has the sympathy of all,
and many are the prayers that he and
family may soon be with us again in the
full enjoyment of health. In this hospital
the patients are provided with good beds
and all other necessary articles for the
sick room. The races and sexes are sepa
rated, the wards being large and well ven
tilated. Dr. Babcock has also more com
fortable quarters, and now enjoys the
luxury of reading to John Murphy, his
cook, by the light of a kerosene lamp in
stead of a light wood rural lire. This is to
be the home of all small-pox patients in
the future, and for which the public are
indebted to Dr. H. Jtohinson and F. F.
L’Engle, who have worked unceasingly
from first to last to rid the city of the
disease, and all this w ithout the'hope or
expectation of pecuniary reward. A lew'
such live men accomplish more in a week
than an army of blow-hards would in a
century. Standing on the streets telling
how it should be done, criticising the ac
tion ol the Health Board, snarling at
newspapers and their correspondents be
cause they dare to express w hat they be
lieve an honest opinion and what is for
the best interest of all, is not the best
way to stop the spread of small-pox.
Effective work is what is wanted, and
that is just what is now benefiting our
city so much.
A number of meetings have been held
the past week and arrangements made to
carry out the work commenced.
Resolutions and suggestions have been
abundant, and if there were a preventive
against smull-pox there would not now
be found here neither trace nor track of
the disease. No, its whereabouts could
not be traced by a pack of sleuth hounds.
The quarantine established by some of
the Florida towns has been about as rigid
as it could well be made: but it is ["re
sumed that this was not the work of ma
ture judgment, based upon authentic
facts, but caused bv wild rumors and ex
agerated statements of excited individu
als. Had the authorities of other towns
obtained a true state of the disease here
they would have been at once convinced
that there was no necessity of quaran
tining against everything from Jackson
ville.
The disease firstinade its appearance
here in a negro lodging house, and was
traced to a man just from New Orleans,
who died in March, and as soon as it be
came generally known that it was among
the negroes, they began to leave the city
in crowds for other portions of the state,
and it w as at that time considered a pro
per measure to quarantine against all
negroes coming from this city, because
it was impossible for the best scientist in
the land to say which of them had not
been exposed. But to stop all freight
and mail is a little more than the circum
stances warranted. And as strange as it
may seem, it is nevertheless a fact that
the statements in regard to the disease
of our most truthful citizens are received
with a degree of doubt and suspicion.
This quarantine has been modified by a
number of towns so as to admit freight
and passengers who exhibit a clean bill of
health. But few of those who have had
small-pox are white people—rnostlv ne
groes of the lower classes—the same pen

the citizens will not relax their vigilance
the pest will soon be eradicated and our
now blighted city once more free from all
pestilence. God grant that it may be so,

KX-GOVKUNOU HENDItfCKS.
He is for the Old Ticket anil Bids for the
Nomination.
Hew York Special, 3d.
The Times this morning prints a special
dispatch from Indianapolis, containing
an interview with Hon. Thomas A. Hend
ricks, who has just returned from the
East. To the suggestion that the country
would regard the nomination of the old
ticket of Tilden and Hendricks as equiva
lent to a Democratic victory, Mr. Hend
ricks said:
“There is no doubt some truth in that.
Mr. Tilden is one of the most remarkable
citizens of the republic. Everything that
he does is complete. A work To satisfy
him must be finished. His letter of ac
ceptance was a treatise of a perfect
master on the whole system of political
economy. His letter to the last Cincin
nati Convention, every enemy admits,
w as one of the most ingenious documents
that every emanated from man, while
his friends feel that it was a
strong, candid statement from the
highest possible plane of patriot
ism. It is wonderful. He has lived down
every calumny. Every slander awakened
by the prosecutions of that fellow Bliss,
and dismissed as soon as they ceased to
be of any political benefit, w ould add to
bis strength at this time. The whole
country has watched him closely since he
was defrauded of the Presidency, and
there has been everything in his life to in
spire respect. He is indeed a grand man.
“There seems to be a strong sentiment
in favor of the old ticket. Four years ago
1 did not realize the full force of the de
mand, and I really lelt that I bad been in
the position of Vice President long enough.
I did not feel the absolute necessity of
taking the second place. It was for that
reason that I declined—not from any hos
tility to Mr. Tilden. On the contrary,
there was no man in the government
whose virtue I neld in higher esteem.
When a duty is required of us, however
distasteful, it must lie performed. I do
not doubt that if the old ticket were re
nominated it would be elected.”
Remember This.
