HAMIIiTOX'S fertile fields.
An Agricultural Chat in a Floridian
Paradise.
W hite ScLPHt-'R Springs, Fla., June
3.—The crop prospect of Hamilton county
as far as I have seen is splendid, and
promises a better harvest, such as corn,
cotton and sugar cane, than many years
previous.
Hamilton county has a very rich and
fertile soil, and produces annuallv an
abundant yield. Planters and farmers
through this section of the county have
pretty well laid by their corn crop. I have
seen roasting ears on the table here in
May. The health |pd climate of this
section is very good, and especially
around the spring. The people and citi
zens generally of Hamilton county are
very clever and kind to those who take
pleasure to visit this land of sweet flow
ers. 1 am a Georgia young man, and
have spent many days of happiness upon
the hills of the proud State, dear old
Georgia. I know from experience that
the people of that land of j>eace and lib
erty are clever, but I must sav that the
people generally, in this part of the
country must have credit tor kindness
shown to those who visit them,
i I have noticed some ripe jieaches in the
village. They art* delicious.
Mr. T. F. W esson has a tine melon patch.
>ome of them are pretty well grown. Cu
cumbers and vegetables of all sorts are
abundantly plentiful here, which speaks
well for the industry of the jieople.
The village of White Spring is pleasant
ly situated in the southeast corner of the
county, and is composed of five stores,
one church, and a prosperous school in
progress. Mr. 11. F. Uinstead, a native of
>orth Carolina, is its principal. He is a
good instructor, and makes a good teach
er and the |ieople like him. Mav he pros
|>er. i *ther improvements ot much impor
tance are in progress.
The new hotel now fast reaching com
pletion will lx> the centre of attraction
with its sixty rooms furnished willi furni
ture of tasteful design. Certainly, the
hotel will lie, when complete, a model of
X ht ‘ vi,l se Of White Spring
should teel proud of it.
The Sulphur Spring flows with a strong
current at the rapid rate of twenty thou
sand gallons per minute, boiling up from
a great depth through solid rook—water
that has not seen the light tor centuries,
charged with sulphur and other mineral
properties. As to fhe source of this
grand sulphurous liquid water its foun
tain head must ever remain a mystery.
Deity and Heaven itself has blessed it
and may it forever flow with healing pro
perties, give life and build up tlie" sick
and afflicted.
Messrs. \\ ight A Powell, proprietors,
are gentlemen of wide experience and
ability, and everything around the sprite'
is on the upward tendency. Hurrah for
the spring and citizens' of Hamilton
county.
A party of gentlemen from Appling
county. Ga„ is here. Mr. A. E. Leggett
and wife, .lelioron Hall, and Mr. J. l.
Carter, Representative of Appling. The
party seems to enjoy hours at the
spring, and expeets to stay through the
summer. k. V. N.
BAY STATE INDEPENDENTS.
A New Party Organized to Defeat But
ler anil tlie Republicans.
Boston id.
An iiuiHirtant movement in Massachu
setts |Militics has been developed at the
meeting of the Massachusetts Reform
Club. It is a genuine new departure—
the formation of anew party that prom
ises to disarrange tlie plans of the old
party leaders.
It was decided that an Independent
State Convention should be held and a
full State ticket nominated for the fall
campaign. It is an organization in oppo
sition to Butler and in opposition to the
Republican party.
Among the gentlemen present at the
meeting ot the Reform Club at which this
action was taken were Colonel Theodore
Lyman, member of Congress-elect from
the Ninth db-triot; Leverett Saltonstall,
General Francis A. Walker, Mr. Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., Frank Biid, Fisher
Aines. E. B. Haskell, John S. Farlow and
many other men prominent for years in
the Republican and Democratic parties.
This Reform Club had its origin ill tlie
Ninth district when Mr. Lyman was elect
ed to Congress in opposition to the regu
lar machine Republican nomination last
fall.
Tlie convention will lie called earlv to
anticipate the action of the Butler and
the regular Republican conventions.
The men who are organizing this new
movement are sanguine of success. They
claim to have assurances of support from
large numbers of what they are pleased to
call t he leaders of the best elements in both
the old parties.
Who Buns Kamlall ?
-Vc York .Star.
One of the curiosities of Pennsylvania
politics is developed by the special care
taken by the Republicans in particular to
make a district for Hon. Sam. J. Randall.
Very naturally the Democrats are glad to
send a Democrat of any stripe to Con
gress, and accept the Republican invita
tion to manufacture a district along the
river front in Philadelphia. It is a pure
perquisite, a generous free gift on the part
of the Republicans, which the Democrats
may be excused for accepting. But the
[oiiit ot particular interest is in the fact
that the Republicans made this shoe
string district in the tlrst place, and
both of these two bills in the Legisla
ture provide as carefully for Randall’s
re-election as though he were their first
born and favorite son. The liottom fact
of the matter is that Randall is four-fifths
Republican, and the Republicans know
it and act accordingly. They like to have
such men to serve their interests in the
Democratic party. And tor this reason
they are working quietly, hut energeti
cally. to get him elected "Speaker of the
next House. The difference between
Itandall and the Democrats in the matter
of tariff is that he believes in protection
on principle, as a good thing per sc, while
Democrats are opposed to protection on
principle, while favoring a wise discrimi
nation in duties so as to afford all neces
sary encouragement to im|iortant indus
tries which need fostering. The differ
ence is radical and too broad for even
such an elastic person as Randall to
cover bv a straddle.
A Muscular Peer.
l*h i UuMpk ia Record.
Ixml Charles Beresford (if cable spe
cials may be depended upon) having de
molished' Jem Mace with liis fists in Lon
don. and having scared the Maori, may
now come to this country and annihilate
John L. Sullivan. This ought to be easily
managed, and it might even be possible
for the Prince of Wales to witness the af
fair. Au extended cruise in one of the
roval yachts with Commander Beresford
in command, ougui nut to i>c aiiuciiu oi
arrangement, and the influence of all the
dudes and other aristocrats iu this coun
try might be brought to bear on Mr. Sul
livan to induce him to risk his precious
person within reach of Commander Beres
ford's dangerous fists. Nantucket might
lie selected as the bruising ground, where
onlv those persons owning yachts could
rendezvous at short notice and the ele
gant exclusiveness of a royal jamboree be
preserved.
Seriously, however, it is safe to treat
the Sunday cable news as one part fact to
twenty parts of fancy. Lord Charles may
have put on the boxing gloves with Jem
Mace, and the latter, far-sighted old toady
that he is, tnay have allowed the spry
voting nobleman to do most of the hitting,
and the crowd of young English sports
mav have gone away intoxicated with the
idea that *a gentleman can always whip
a professional fighter,” but it would not
be safe for any of them to hit Jem Mace
in earnest if’ they happened to meet in a
street tight. There might lie a tuneral
the next day, but none of the Maces would
be at the funeral.
Cuban Exiles to be Released.
London, June 6.—A dispatch to the
Tint' S from .Madrid says that the Governor
General of Cuba having reported favor
ably concerning the state of that island,
over one hundred exiles will be allowed
to return there shortly. .
In the Spanish Cnainber of Deputies
last evening the Cuban mehibers proposed
amendments to the budget, including the
insertion of the estimates for Cuba in the
imperial budget, the Cuban debt being
considered a part of the national debt.

The True Inwardness of the Struggle
Exposed—No Charges Against Dis
trict Attorney Darnell-Tlie Effect on
the Delegation to the National Repub
lican Convention.
Washington, June 6.-The fierceness
of the skirmish over the Internal Revenue
Collectorship at Savannah has bared the
bitterness of the rivalry existing between
General Longstreet and Emory Speer for
the control of the Federal patronage of
Georgia. As has been already intimated
in the columns of the News, there is but
little doubt that Speer would like to
poise as a second Mahone. That
Longstreet has in the past been the local
Don Cameron, is of course prettv gener
h,!; c° nm \ e j!' P 8 equally certain that
the General has been long regarded with
zealous envy by the Insincere Speer. The
present skirmish is therefore regarded as
one of the pivotal points in the political
warfare now waging. Speer seems to
♦ entere d the lists in a determina
;7,. t r m “ ke one last desjierate
effort for the supremacy. I T p to
the present, however, Longstreet
seems to have been pretty generally suc
eesstul m knocking his antagonist but iu
every round. To-day the Lon-'-
street faction gained another victory, and
!'(. o “w h i I ? ay , Y ery Probably end the
“f-ht in 'V imberly s appointment.
Judge Met. ay, who, as stated in vester
im s >IK 'Y 8 ' S ave indorsement to
i leasant s bond, reconsidered the appro
val in the following telegram:
.. Savannah, June 5, 1883.
Charles ./. Folger, Secretary of
the 1 reasury, Washington, I). C. • ‘
AV hen 1 approved Pleasant’s bond I did
not know that it had been rejected by the
District Attorney, or that it had ever been
presented to him. li. K.McCay
. . United States Judge.
Hus is a further evidence, if any were
wanted, of the chicanery and insincerity
ot Emory Speer, who induced Judge Ale-
Cay’s approval or Pleasant’s bond. See
retary lolger will to-night return from
New York, and it is expected that AA im
berly s appointment as Collector will
shortly follow. The AA'ilson-Pleasant-
Speer crowd have up to this time been
defeated simply by the merits of their
opponents.
Of course the fight partakes more of the
‘tempest iu the teapot” than anything
else, and, like Republicanism in Georgia,
is principally noticeable on account of its
absurdity. Both sides, of course, have
an eye on the delegation to the next
Republican National Convention, but this
feature has not lieen pushed into especial
prominence as yet.
As far as any official charges against
-Air. Darnell are concerned no charges
whatever have been made or ex
pected in this city, where he
stands very well indeed, officially. The
rumor set - afloat in Savannah is
therefore almost questionless only politi
cal buncomlie manufactured during the
bitterness of the present squabble as cap
ital to influence, it possible, the revenue
appointment.
PRINTERS CHARGED BY POLICE
A New York Strike wliieli Elided in a
Battle.
New York, June o.—The compositors
employed in Trows publishing and book
binding establishment went on a strike
to-day, aud the police had to be called in
to prevent their obstructing the business
of the concern. The strikers refused to
move away when ordered, and were
charged and driven away by tlie police
from the neighborhood of the estalisliment.
They had been interfering with men who
would not join the strike. Tlie strikers
demanded 40 cents per 1,000 ems, and this
had been relused by the firm, hence the
strike. The firm had been paying 37 cents
per 1,000 ems.
Phicago, June o.—Six hundred union
bricklayers had a session last night, and
after a long discussion it was decided that
the men could go to work whenever they
chose at $4 perxlay, provided they refused
to work under non-union foremen. This
practically ends the strike, and is regard
ed as a collapse of the union.
CROPS i\ GEORGIA.
All Varieties Backward, but the l’ros
peet Not Gloomy.
Atlanta, June 6.—To-day Commis
sioner of Agriculture Henderson con
cluded a consolidation of crop reports for
June 1. The condition of corn, as com
pared with the same time last year, is 90
per cent. The heavy rains in the early
spring and an unprecedented cool and
dry May greatly retarded the growth and
encouraged the attack ol the cut worm.
The yield of oats will be about 88 per
cent, of an average. This falling off is due
almost entirely to the tact that spring
sown oats have lieen caught by the May
drought.
There being no rust of consequence, the
yield of wheat will be 93 per cent, of the
average. The quality is excellent, the
crop being almost free from rust.
The stand of cotton is 94 per cent, of an
average, and the condition is 94 per cent.
The plant is backward and smaller than
usual. The general prospect, while not
very encouraging, is by no means gloomy.
KILLS STOLKX FltOM KI'TLKK.
Two Strange Thefts Which Agitate
Massachusetts.
Boston, Mass., June G.— Recently the
original copy of a bill, which Governor
Butler had vetoed, mysteriously disap
peared while in the Governor’s possession,
and a printed copy was returned to the
Legislature, when the point was promptly
raised against putting the question
of its passage over the veto upon any
other than an original copy. The state
ment is now made that the original
Tewksbury Alms House appropriation
bill has lieen lost or stolen from the Gov
ernor’s room. The bill would otherwise
have become a law because of the
expiration bf the legal limit in which the
Governor must sign or veto. .Anew
bill must he passed, and a further delay
of at least ten days will be occasioned
liefore the employe’s’ salaries can Ik* paid.

Two Outlaws Captured.
Wavkrly, lowa, June 0. —The two
Barber l*ovs were captured last evening
about 8 o’clock while eating supper in a
house six miles south of Tripoli, alter a
desperate fight, in which the outlaws se
verely wounded four men, two of them
mortally. The prisoners were safely lodg
ed in the Waverlv jail. The capture was
effected ten miles east of Waverly after a
desperate tight, in which one man was
killed and three others severely wounded.
Great excitement exists at M averly and
throughout the surrounding country, and
there are loud threats of taking the boys
from jail and hanging them. The officers
of the law are preparing as best they can
to resist any such attempt.
Guayaquil Under Bombardment.
Panama, June 6.—Telegraphic com
munication with Guayaquil by the Cen
tral and South American Company’s line
was restored at G o'clock Tuesday. On
Sunday afternoon a great many canon
shots were tired in the vicinity of Guava,
quil causing much excitement. A desul
tory tiro went on throughout Monday, and
is in progress to-day. The insurgents’
attacks were all repulsed. It is reported
that several men were killed on the Vein*
temella side on Sunday, but reticence is
observed regarding the matter.
A Book Agent Brings Suit.
New York, June G. —The Methodist
Book Concern of this city is publishing a
volume known as the “People’s Encyclo
paedia of Universal Knowledge.” On the
11th of March they made an agreement
with James Baker to act ns agent in in
troducing the work. He immediately pro
ceeded to do so, but he afterwards re
ceived notice that the contract had been
rescinded, lie has brought suit in the
Kings County Supreme Court for SIOO,OOO
for violation of contract, and the case is
now on trial in Brooklyn.

SAVANNAH. THURSDAY, JUNE 7. 1883.
RUSSIAN NIHILISTS BOASTFUL.
ClaiinH that the Czar was Surrounded
by Zealous Terrorists.
London, June 6.—The Times corres
pondent at Paris says that a Nihilist com
minique has been issued which states that
the whole force of the Russian Govern
ment and its most intelligent spies, hav
ing lieen concentrated at Moscow during
the coronation, the Nihilists took advan
tage thereof to spread their doctrines
and enroll supporters of their
cause in St. Petersburg and other
centres of population. I also sav that the
strength ol the party in St. Petersbur°- is
greatly increasing, and assert that there
were at tlie coronation officials and others
under order of the Nihilists, near enough
to the Czar to have struck him on the
brow, if the word to that effect had been
giten. It was even feared that some too
zealous partisan miirht throw a grenade
at the Czar.
Moscow, June 6.—The Telegraph , a
newspaper printed here, lias lieen sup
pressed by the authorities for printin''
objectionable articles.
St. Petersburg, June 6.—A pamphlet
has been distributed throughout this city
in which is reproduced a programme of
sell-government claimed by the Moderate
party. Ihe Journal tie St. Petersburg savs
that none but a strong government, in
which the Emperor shall hold the power,
and his subjects meet him with a lovin''
confluence, can advance towards a solu
tion of the greatest of problems. Such
a government only can deal with the work
or completely organizing the country, and
it alone need not shrink from irrantin‘ r
freedom to the people.
It is declared that the riots which oc
curred in St. Petersburg during the eoro
nation were merely the drunken excess
ot the lower classes, which are openlv
licensed on such occasions.
Moscow, June ti. —There is no truth in
tlie storv that the Mayor of Moscow lias
been removed from office. All the foreign
new spa per correspondents and prominent
members ol the Russian press who were
present at the coronation will attend a
socia! to le given by . w. Oront
zott lJachkoff, Minister of the Imperial
household, and will present him
with fan address thanking him for the
cordial and liberal welcome extended to
them during the festivities. It is rumored
that M. Auisakott, the well known writer,
has been banished for publishing an arti
cle asking the Czar to grant liberal re
forms.
GERMANY’S GOVERNMENT.
Progress of tlie War With the Vatican
and in tlie Reichstag.
Berlin, June G.—The government's Idil
relative to differences between the govern
ment and the Catholic Church is prefaced
by the statement that the government is
anxious to serve the interests of Prussian
Catholics by providing for regular service
in vacant parishes. Therefore on the*
Vatican declining to accent the pro
posals, w hich Prussia had offered, the gov
ernment deemed it their duty to grant
without awaiting the result of further
negotiations with Rome those concessions
which were annqjinced in the governient’s
note to the Vatican May 5, and which do
not impair the authority of the State.
The Liberal papers consider that the bill
show a fresh retreat on the part of tlie
government, and that the concessions
which it makes exceed those announced
in the note of May 5.
pte Germania , the clerical organ, also
thinks that tne concessions provided for
in the bill are larger and better than those
heretofore ottered. The entire party will
probably accept the bill, while the Con
servatives will certainly support, it. A
majority thus seems thoroughly secured
for the measure.
Die Germania also says that the bill ’is
the first step towards a more thorough re

London, June o.—lt lias been officially
ascertained this evening that there is no

on the 25th of May. The Court Circular
issued this afternoon states that Her Ma

fact that the Prince of Wales was at tlie

to-day, shows conclusively that no alarm
is felt in tlie Koval household about the

other than the statement in the Court Cir

POLITICS IX TWO STATES.
TICKETS NOMINATED in OHIO
AND lOWA.
Judge Kinne the Democratic Gubernato
rial Nominee in the Latter State—Judge
Foraker Named by the Ohio Republi
cans—The Two Platforms Adopted by
the Conventions.
DesMoixks, la., June 6.— The Demo
cratic State Convention met to-day and
organized. Judge L. Q. Kinne was nomi
nated for Governor and Justice C. Clark
for Lieutenant Governor. The platform
denounces the abuse of the civil service
by the Republican party: favors the ex
tension of the civil service laws to every
department of the government; arraigns
the last Congress for extravagance; in
dorses a tariff' for revenue only, and the
gradual reduction of protective duties:
denounces the tariff legislation of
the last Congress as the re
sult of corrupt and disgraceful
intrigues aud shameless attempts to per
petuate existing evils under the pretense
of tariff' reform: opposes constitutional
prohibition, and in the interest of practi
cal temperance; favors a well regu
lated license law, with a penalty
of a forfeit of license for its abuse; affirms
the right of legislative regulation of rail
ways, but holds that the power should be
so even as to promote friendship between
the railways and the]>eople; demands that
the government protect its citizens from
imprisonment by any foreign government
without charge or right of trial, and cor
dially sympathizes with the oppressed of
all nations struggling for their consti
tutional rights and liberties.
Judge Kinne declined an address, ac
cepting bis nomination and indorsing tlie
platform. He promised to make it a light
ing campaign, and said that successful or
not in this one, the Democrats would
sweep the State at the next Presidential
election. The Convention then adjourned.

FIGHTING AGAINST DEATH.
A Laborer at Cleveland Repeatedly
Buried Beneath Sand.
Cleveland (O.) Special.
A terrible scene was enacted on Onta
rio street, in this city, this morning. It
'was a tight of a crowd of men against
death, and humanity won. Thev did not
light for themselves, but for a fellow-man.
About 9 o’clock this morning, as the
workmen were excavating preparatory to
putting braces under an old building on
Ontario street, near Howe, the earth caved
in, burying Fred. Rudchinsky, one of
the laborers. All about the place is one
large bed of sand. A dozen hands com
menced to rapidly shovel the sand away
to rescue the man, who was entirely hid
den out of sight. The narrow space
between the building was immediately
tilled with a living mass of humanity,
crowding upon those shoveling. When
the man’s head was in sight he was found
to be nearly smothered and rapidly sink
ing in the quicksand. On account of his
sinking gradually under the building, his
chances for liberation were growing more
and more dubious. The sand was heavy
and wet. After about twenty minutes
shovelling a large slide of sand fell on tlte
.poor fellow, completely covering him the
second time. Relays of six men were
working w ith shovels, hut with all their
hurried exertions it seemed as if no
headway was being made. When a
shovelful was thrown out another
shovelful took its place. It was sev
eral minutes before Kutchinskv’s head
appeared again. This time he was ashy
pale, and could not speak above a. whis
per. He moaned piteously. At this
time great piles of sand were on all sides,
and the workers and tlie sufferer wore
gradually sinking into the earth. The
sand had been shoveled away from Rut
chinsky nearly to his waist, and iieople
commenced to breathe easier, when an
awful avalanche of sand swept down upon
him; after the lapse of a tew minutes,
which seemed to be hours, the man’s
head was again in view. Boards
were driven around the man to
force back the sand; axes were
hurriedly brought into requisition, and
dozens of bands were at work cutting the
ends of boards to a point and driving them
around the man. It took at least twenty
minutes before the palisade was built, anil
all this while the men with the shovels
were busy keeping the man’s head free.
A barrel was secured, the ends were
knocked out of it, and it was placed over
Rutchinsky’s head to keep the life in him.
It was now so tar down to the bot
tom of the cavern that but one man
could work near the sinking man,
and the sand was passed up to a shoveller
above, who then threw it to a man on
top of tlie frightful place. Rutchinsky’s
face was turned up. it was ghastly'in
appearance and his eyes were closed.
Those on the brink thought he was dead,
but lie opened his eyes and asked for a
drink. It was procured and handed
down to the man the nearest to Rutch
insky, who gave it to him
When his arms and shoulders
were the third time exposed a rope
was let down and put under the man’s
arms. Word was given to haul away
and the almost lifeless form of Fred
ltutchinsky was slowly drawn up to the
surface amid cheers from the crowds on
the buildings and about the place. An
ugly wound appeared on Rufldiinskv's
head, made evidently by a shovel. He
was in the sandy sepulchre one hour and
thirty minutes. Rutchinsky was taken to
his home, at No. 03 Noyes street. He is a
sturdy, muscular man, and will recover.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Topics Which Are Uppermost* in the
Minds of Atlantans.
Atlanta, June s.— One is very strongly
reminded of Emancipation day this morn
ing, as our streets are alive with colored
troops, and our sidewalks crowded with
colored spectators.
Atlanta, however, is always happy
when her streets are tilled with negroes,
and the trade in red lemonade, sickly
watermelons and rotten bananas has a
big boom.
It will not lie long before the colored race
will have a monopoly of some privileges in
this city, and white people of refinement
will be obliged to take a back seat—wav
back too.
Now I do not refer to our industrious,
respectable colored people, but to the
thousands of worthless negroes, of both
sexes, that swarm our streets, support our
low whisky dens and supply criminals
for the chain-gaug.
There is not now a prominent street cor
ner in Atlanta that is not infested witli a
gang of dirty, loafing negroes, and white
ladies frequently have trouble to pass
such corners.
I have not changed my theory ot tlie
I>e boor murder, and still believe that a
white inan was at the liottom ot the ter
rible crime. The negroes now in custody
arc not the guilty parties.
The published story of Frank Coxe and
his wife is like the handle of a jug—all on
one side. Public opinion considered them
a well matched couple in appearance,
manners, tastes and extravagance while
living in Atlanta.
Gen. Early says Gen. Garland, of Lynch
burg, Va., was the first Confederate'Gen
eral killed in the late war. As he was
killed in I*o2, I think Gen. Early has
made a mistake. F. 8. Bartow is num
bered witli the Generals, ami he was tlie
first killed in battle.
It is Julius 1,., not Janies M. Brown,
who lias been elected President of the
Metropolitan Street Railroad of Atlanta.
He is the oldest son of Senator Brown,
and will bring both money aud brains to
this new enterprise. It is run out Prvor
street to that part of tlie city where flue
improvements have followed the real
estate boom on Washington street.
Alderman R. J. Lowry has started a de
termined warfare on English sparrows,
and is collecting together a large amount
ot valuable testimony against them for
use at the fall session of the Legislature,
where he will seek to amend the law so
as to allow English sparrows to be killed.
McPherson Barracks, in Atlanta, has
always been occupied by first class regi
ments, at the head of which were Chris
, tian gentlemen—Wheaton. Hunt and
Huger, and yet it was a well known fact
that gambling prevailed there, and that
not a few officers patronized our city
gambling hells. One Lieutenant com
mitted suicide after his losses at the “Big
Bonanza,” and another would have been
cashiered for duplicating pay accounts to
meet gambling losses, but for his sudden
death. It is useless to deny that this vice
does prevail in tlie army, and that it
has done incalculable injury to many gal
lant soldiers.
“The Lounger on the Avenue,” in the
\V ashington (D. C.) Army and Navy Her
ald, attempts to locate the Generals of the
late Confederate army, but fails, repeat
edly, of being reliable. lie says Pember
ton is the superintendent of an iron com
pany in New Jersey, although that officer
died last year. E. P. Alexander is First
Vice President of the Central Railroad;
Kiiby Smith, at Eminence, Kentucky, in
stead of the University of the South, at
Sewauee, Tennessee. McLaws is located
at Augusta, and Holtzelaw at Selma, Ala
bama. Wheeler, he thinks, is a member
elect to the next Congress. I). H. Hill is
nit in North Carolina, and C. W. Field in
Florida. Mackall, he believes, lives in
Georgia. In addition to the above and
several other errors, the list does not in
clude more than half the Generals of the
late Confederate army.
The Rev. Mr. Mitchell (lie is not a Dr.)
had a call from a Baptist church in Texas,
but an Atlanta printer made it a “calf,”
which has caused the friends of the rev
erend gentleman to smile.
Atlanta can well brag on her boys
abroad this year. Young T. li. Huzza
takes the first honor at Emory College,
and is said to lea remarkably brillhuU
student. Youinr J. S. May son has come
home from Vanderbilt University covered
with honors, and gives promise of making
a distinguished lawyer. Both of these
young men won honors in our Boys’ High
School, and they have kept on winning
them elsewhere ever since. Now they
will seek honors in the professions.
The North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege, at Dahlonega, is largely supported
from the land script fund derived from the
General Government. In view of this fact
Gov. McDaniel has appointed Gen. James
Longstreet, the United States Marshal, and
Col. A. E. Buck, the Clerk of the United
States Courts for this district, on the Board
of Visitors for the present year.
The death of young Mclntyre at Chat
tanooga, while coupling cars, is a sad
blow to his widowed mother. Lieut. Mc-
Intyre, of the Second Infantry, when on
duty here, was killed by illicit distillers
in tlie mountains of North Georgia. He
left a widow and several small children in
poverty. Mrs. Gen. Wheaton and other
adies at McPherson Barracks were very
kind to her, and in due time she got a
small pension. Of late she has been living
in a government building near Chat
tanooga, thus saving rent and consider
able expense, and this son, now dead, was
helping her to rear and educate tlie
other childreß. Much sympathy is ex
pressed for her here, where she lias many
and friends.
We have had a cloudy, sultry morning,
and the colored soldiers did not enjoy
their street parade and tramp opt to
McPherson Barracks for the prize drill,
which is now taking place. Th re was a
delay of two hours in getting the battalion
formed, so Governor McDaniel did not
get his passing review' at the Executive
Department until after high noon. The
companies marched well, and presented a
very creditable appearance. The Fulton
Guards, anew Atlanta company, in their
black helmet hats and handsome uniforms,
were the chief attraction, and will here
after rank as the bon ton crack colored
corps of the capital city. But few com
panies are here from abroad, and none
from any distance. Augusta, Savannah
and Macon have none of their companies
present, but Macon will to-morrow enter
tain the battalion at Central City Park.
The rumor that J. E. Bryant will suc
ceed Governor Conley as Postmaster at
Atlanta, is the merest bosh. If Governor
Conley, whose term does not expire until
next year, were removed to-morrow Bry
ant would stand no chance to be his suc
cessor. While our present Postmaster
has had bad luck with .some of his minor
officials, he kimself has' worked hard and
faithfully for the interests of our people.
The rush of mails, outgoing and incoming
at noon make it quite impossible to please
everybody.
Now a word as to patrons of post offices,
some of whom unjustly blame the clerks
ana higher officials, l was m tne post
office yesterday, and Superintendent Sei
fert showed me a few hundred misdirected
letters. There were letters from promi
nent Northern commission truck mer
chants, misdirected as follows: Wm.
Bowen and J. P. Brooks, Quitman, Fla.,
instead of Ga.; J. Ward, Camilla, Fla.,
instead of Ga.; Gustave Bothe, Mieano
pv, Ala., instead of Fla.; Amelia Ellis,
Hillsborough county, Fla., no town given;
L. D. Lockhart, Blackshear, Pierce co.,
Ala., instead of Ga.; T. Caskin, Kansas
City, Mobile, instead of Mo.; and a print
ed direction on a prominent newspaper to
Southern Christian Advocate , Charleston,
Georgia, instead of South Carolina. Some
of these errors are inexcusable, and the
“truck” letter mistake will perhaps re
sult in loss to the commission merchants
and truck farmers concerned.

OTTMAN’S COMPROMISE.
THE GOVERNMENT THROWS
LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.
Little Chance that the Prosecution Could
have Secured a Verdict—The Impossi
bility of Tracing the Stolen Dollars—
The Amount Ottman Finally De
ceived.
YVashington, June 6.— The Depart
ment of Justice furnished to the associ
ated press this evening a series of twelve
letters and reqiorts relating to the recent
ly compromised Ottman case, in which
the government sought to recover a large
sum of money said to have been stolen
from the Treasury Department in June,
1875. The correspondence thus furnished
is said to include all letters and pa
pers on file in the Department
of justice, which have any material con
nection with the case, and it covers a
period of time extending from December
19th, 1877, to June Bth, 1883. The terms of
the compromise set forth iu the letters
seein to have been approved bv the At
torney General, but no written ‘approval
appears in the correspondence.
Un the 7th of June, 1882, Col. George
Bliss, to whom the ease had been referred,
wrote to Attorney General Brewster as
follows: “The adjustment authorized by
you in the case of Ottman has been car
ried out, and there has been debited
$12,700 in the Treasury to the credit of the
United States,”
The last letter of the series is from Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill to Attorney Gen
eral Brewster, and is as follows:
Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney
General:
Sir —In reply to your inquiry concern
ing certain matters in connection with
the case of the United States vs. Ottman,
I have to state that my letter of February
8, 1882, gives in detail the exact condition
of the case at that time as far as it
appears from the records of llie court
While 1 could not, owing to my relations
to the defendant as one of his counsel in
the trial of the criminal case, act for the
government in the compromise, a careful
examination of the report of Colonel Geo.
Bliss, the special counsel to whom the
case was referred, which I
made at the time, fully sus
tained the statement 1 made to vou
that the ease was one which should" be
compromised, and the proposition one
which at least the government should not
object to. That there were suspicious
circumstances in connection with the
deposit of money in the Alexan
dria hank which justified its at
tachment by the government is
true. There was an absolute failure to
identify the money, as it had no special
marks by which it could be identified as
money stolen. Whether Ottman actually
stole the money or received it alter ft
was stolen or not, one thing is very
certain, that no honest jury on any evi
dence the government could obtain would
have found him guilty, lie was indicted
nearly nine years ago', was tried twice and
was insisting and demanding another
trial, and to this, under the law, he was
entitled. I know personally, from mv
thorough knowledge of all the testimony,
that it was impossible for the prosecution
in good faith to ask for a conviction upon
the indictments. Under these circum
stances, to compromise 'the civil action
under the attachment and nol pros, the
indictments tvas all that could be done.
Very respectfully,
Geo. B. Corkhill,
U. S. Attorney for District of Columbia.
The amount stolen was $31,500. It was
claimed that the actual bills stolen from
the Treasury were traced to Ottman’s
possession. The latter was at the time a
liquor dealer in Washington. • Under the
compromise $19,000 were awarded to Ott
man, and it lias been freely charged in the
newspapers that of this sum only $3,000
reached Ottman, who is now a barkeeper
in New Y'ork.
The Postmaster General to-day selected
metallic red as the color for the new two
cent postage stamp. The vignette which
will be used on the stamp is copied from
a life cast used in making Houdon’s statue
of Washington.
The President to-day appointed Wil
liam S. Roulhac, of North Carolina,
Secretary of the Civil Service Commis
sion.

THE OLD NORTH STATE.
Senator Ransom’s Understanding of Its
Politleal Prospects.
W 'azhinyton Post .
Senator Matt Ransom, of North Caro
lina, is in the city attending to business
connected with the Potomac flats im
protements. In answer to a question
concerning the claim of the Repuolieans
"to the old North State" in the next
Presidential election the Senator sjioke as
follows:
“North Carolina is a Democratic State
w ill go Democratic in 1884, and there is
no foundation tor the impression which
the Republicans seek to create that thev
can capture the State next vear. Thev
raised the same cry in the last two can
vasses. and may affect a little more confi
dence at present because the last Demo
cratic majority on the popular vote was
small. The prohibition question had lieen
voted on in 1881, the excitement incident
to that issue had not died out, and enter
ed greatly into the canvass. That issue
us now settled and our people are gen
erally united, the action of the last Legis
iature having taken it entirely out of the
political field.
“How does North Carolina regard the
Republican party in its national charac
ter and policy?” asked the Post.
“The people ot North Carolina,” said
the Senator, “love constitutional govern
ment: are intensely devoted to their
i lixbts and luv\ e no idou of outside intor
ference with their affairs. This is the
traditional character of a people cool,
calm and slow in coining to their conclu
sions, but firm and determined in main
taining them. Any attempt of the
federal Administration to carry this State
t>y the abuse of its patronage w ill be re
sented and will recoil on the Republican
party which, as we understand it at pres
ent, represents this policy. North Caro
lina has lieen less influenced by Federal
patronage than any State in the Union.
Her i>eople are not office seekers, and thev
will never consent to have their power
transferred to Washington to he admin
istered by w hat you call bosses.”
“What are the business relations of the
South to the Republican party?”
“There has been a great deal said about
the progressive spirit ot the Republicans,
but all the present prosperity in that sec
tion is owing to Democratic rule, for
everybody is aware that the Republicans
are only known there by the frightful and
ruinous track of the carpet-bagger. Since
the Democrats have gained ascendancy
busier s has improved in every way, and
all cur resources have been started into
development. The farms, the factories
the railroads, the schools, the credit, public
and private, in fact all the elements of a
people’s prosperity are thriving under the
Democratic rule. YVhv should there be a
change backward to the party which has
left a blight on the land, and why should
anybody not look forward, hopefully, to a
National Democratic victory in 1884? The
relations of tlie two races are satisfactory
to both, and a continuance of this happy
state of affairs precludes anv chances
for a recurrence to Republicanism.
Certainly recent events in Virginia afford
no inducements to join auv such coalition
as has prevailed in that State. Our peo
ple had enough of the Republican party
in 1868. 1809,1870, and the experiment iii
Virginia has accomplished nothing to
break tlie established precedent of evil
which Republican domination in the
South has brought to every State in which
it was tried.”
“Are there any divisions among the
North Carolina Republicans?”
“The people outside the State overlook
the fact that there are greater dissensions
in the Republican ranks than in ours; for
hundreds of Republicans last year refused
to vote the coalition ticket. But there
can be no solid an J conservative charac
ter to the Republican party in the South.
Its elements are bad, and it makes dis
creditable uses ot its opportunities. It
seeks to disturb the natural relations
between labor and capital, and insti
tutes the rule of the discontented and
turbulent. This is all false to the
spirit of American business and pro
gress, aud it may be stated as a fact that
Republicans of character in the North,
who are not interested in the absolute
partisan politics, would not consent to
see the South turned over again to their
ow n party. That is the simple, hard fact.
The North is interested in the develop
ment oi the South. Tlpe time has come
w hen this feeling is paramount to preju
dice, and the whole country w ishes to see
honor and credit maintained in that sec
tion. The Republican party did not do it,
and that is why North Carolina will not
try any more in hers.”
HENDRICKS WILL ACCEPT.
But He Never Said it with a View to Pub
lication.
Indianapolis Special, !,th.
Concerning a widely circulated inter
view in the Wabash Courier, Governor
Hendricks was asked this morning by
your correspondent, if he saw Mr. Tur
pen, the man who wrote up the interview
and he replied “yes.”
He was then asked, “Did you under
stand that he was interviewing you with
the intention of publishing the conversa
tion?” Mr. Hendricks said, “1 had not
the least suspicion that the conversation
that we had would appear in print, and
Mr. Turpen made no suggestion of the
kind, and he made no memorandum.- He
and 1 have been friends for a good many
years, and our conversations have been
friendly and without any restraint upon
either side. YVhen he came into our office,
at the time I was glad to see him, and
first made inquiry as to his location and
prospects. YVe then fell into a general
conversation upon a good many subjects,
which I cannot undertake to remember or
repeat. All that I can say about it is that
I had no thought of expressing any pur
pose or wish in respect to mvself in con
nection with politics, nor do' I think that
Mr. Turpen intended to so represent me.”
Further than this Mr. Hendricks saith
not.
Turpen has been a country editor for
many years, a reporter iu the State Legis
lature, a traveling correspondent for In
diana papers on special mission, and has
the reputation of being a bright corres
pondent, and a fair and honorable man.
No one who knows him would believe he
either could have misunderstood or mis
stated what was said in the interview.
American Homes.
Lafayette (/net .) Home Journal.
The American people are becoming more
cosmopolitan in their habits daily. In no
part of the woild do so many families live
in hotels as in this country. Private
home life is sacrificed for show and noto
riety. To be seen and talked about has
taken precedence of the sanctity of home,
pleasure, and work. Since the ciyil war,
shoddy, show and splendor with all the
attendant display, lias caused even our
best society to lie venal, hollow and shame
lessly indecent. The art of money getting
is fast demoralizing all ranks of society,
and it is not how it is gotten alone, but the
fact is it must be gotten to keep up with
the spirit ot the times, which has caused
so many otiiei wise worth v men to sacri
fice all positions of trust and honor to the
Moloch or ambition demanding wealth,
losition, and notoriety.
The conditions of home life are chang
ing rapidly; instead of tne love of home
being inculcated in the rising generation
of children, they are left to the care of
strangers, while the father is struggling
with ambitions perhaps beyond his reach.
And the mother engrossed with her ambi
tion to be recognized in society, not fur
her social or moral attributes, but as a
leader ot fashion. Money is squandered
to appear to people (who care for
you) different from what you know'Vou
are. Home duties are neglected for show
Children grow up without proper princi
ples being instilled in them. Everyone is
in a grand race and scramble far wealth
and lor what purpose ? Only to gratify
the insensate passion (or position aud dis
play.
And thus the coming generation will
come to the surface, making home deso
-1 ate for the want of a proper appreciation
of the real value of living. Ah! the old
way is the best—line upon line and pre
cept upon precept; these principles will
make better men and a more glorious na
tion, whereas the present course will
eventually destroy all the better quality
of the man and plunge the country Into
chaos and confusion. Other nations have
tried it in times past and gone to the wall,
ror with wealth comes luxury and luxu
rious u*id ways, and a gradual break
ing down of the barriers, until private
worth is swallowed up in plunder, which
will finally pull down the entire labric’

In\ incibles have been extensively using
poison in removing obnoxious persons.
Ihe police are investigating a number of

ivi*.- 11 hotel keeper named Jury, of
Dublin, who died a fortnight after the
I lioeiiix Park murders. From a disclosure
by in informer,the autlioritiesdo not doubt
that Jury was poisoned. The reason
alleged for the poisoning is that he inad
vertently opened a letter addressed to
Tynan, who was staying at Jury's hotel.
Jury discovered that the letter contained
directions in regard to a secret society.
Fearing the vengeance of the members of
the society Jury destroyed the letter. A
waiter, however, informed Tynan that
Jury had received a letter for liiiu, and it
is thought that Jury’s removal was then
decided upon.

A Pair ol Shoes In Twenty Minutes.
Boston (rlobe.
Eight hours consumed in making a pair
of boots or shoes w hen working for a record
would bo considered terrible slow time in
Lynn. Twenty minutes is the best time
on record. In 1880 Charles Stewart Par
nell visited Lynn, and while there he was
shown about the city by MavorSanderson
and three or four other gentlemen. The
party visited the shoe manufactory of C.
S. Sweetser A Cos., uml tin* proprietors de
cided to show Mr. Parnell how quick a
pair of boots could be made. It was de
cided to make a pair of women’s grain
polish and the work commenced, Mr.
Parnell closely watching every move
ment. He saw the stock for the uppers
and the top linings cutout, the eyeleting
done and the passing of the uppers from one
stitcher to another; he saw the sole leath
er died out for the bottoms, and the stock
lifted. Up to this time the uppers and bot
toms had been kept separate. The next
lie saw was the two parts come together,
the uppers lasted to the bottoms, then the
uppers were sewed to the soles by a Mc-
Kay stieher, and in rapid succession fol
lowed the work of beating out, trimming
and setting the edges, nailing on the heels,
shaving and tinishing the same, buffing
the bottoms and channeling. Mr. Parnell
then took the boots, which had been man
ufactured in just twenty minutes before
bis own eyes, and carried them with him
to England. These boots, in process of
manufacture, passed through no less than
thirty hands, and the work was perfect.
Two Boys and a Revolver.
Troy Special, 3/1.
Tins afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Martens
of this city, went out to visit a friend
leaving at home their two sons, Herman,
aged 14 years, and Theodore, aged 7 years.
Soon after they had gone Herman "lit a
cigarette and threw himself on the sola.
While he was smoking his little brother
took his father’s revolver from a bureau
drawer and, approaching, carelessly
pointed it at Herman. The weapon was
discharged, making an ugly bole in the
boy’s neck and the Mood spurting into
Theodore’s face.
Herman ran into the street and fell ex
hausted on the sidewalk. When medical
assistance arrived the wounded lad was
partially revived.
Ilis suffering was terrible, and he
prayed to die. Little Theodore did not
seem to realize the terrible tragedy, but
kept saying: “I didn't know it was load
ed—l didn’t mean to shoot my brother.”
Being but seven years of age he was
not arrested, and all believe his story that
lie did not think the pistol was loaded.
Herman is still alive, but the physicians
say he w T ill probably die before morning.
Tlie Last ol‘ Mr. Kugli.sli.

Nr. William H. English, of Indiana, the
late Democratic candidate for Vice Presi
dent ol the United States, has compromis
ed the suit brought against him by Mr.
William I>. Murpliy, of Albany, N. Y., for
the payment of the amount due him for
services and expenses during the Presi
dential campaign in Indiana in 1880.
Mr. Murphy claimed $l,lBO as a balance,
for which he began an attachment suit in
the Supreme Court of this State abouteigh
teen months ago. Mr. English set up in his
answer that even though the contract
were admitted, yet it was contrary to the
constitution of the United States, aiid was,
consequently, void. To this latter allega
tion Mr. Murphy demurred, and the ques
tion arising thereon was argued before
Judge Larreinore.of this city, in Februarv
last, ex-Senator Eeclesine appearing for
Mr.Murphy and Mr. Algernon S. Sullivan
for Mr. English. The demurrer was sus
tained.
Yesterday Mr. Sullivan paid to ex-Sena

compromise, and the suit was discon
tinued.

A Girl With a Tobacco Heart,

Among the patients treated at the

girl afflicted with what is called a “to

her trouble. The uilection mfty result
from constant life in an atmosphere im
pregnated with tobacco, or from excessive
use of the weed. It is a degeneracy of
the vital organ. Dr. Swinburne said.that
