BEIRNE AND ELAM MEET.
TWO SHOTS EXCHANGED AND
ELAM HIT IN THE THIGH.
T s.?.r,° l,nd Cau * i "* Anxiety and a Con
sultation of Surgeons Held—The Su
burbs of ATaynesborough the Scene of
the Duel The Police Taking No Ac
tlon.
Charlottbsville, V a., June -30. A
reliable telegram received here at 11
o’clock this morning states that Editors
Beirne and Elam fought near Wayne
•orough, \ a., at six o’clock this morning.
At the second firing Mr. Elam was
slightly wounded in the thigh. Both men
were satisfied and left the field. It is re
ported that Mr, Beirne was represented
by Messrs. Young,Chockley, and \Vright of
Richmond, and Mr. Elam by John Bnel
ling and John F. Lewis and son.
Mr. Elam, of the ll 'hu/, was dangerous
ly shot through the right thigh, and is at
a hotel at Waynesborough, and telegraphs
for his wife. Mr. Beirne, of the Richmond
State , passed rtiromrh Charlottesville for
Richmond on the 12:20 o’clock train this
noon.
Stacntox, Va., June 30.—Mr. Elam
had lieen concealed not many miles from
the scene of the combat for several davs
past. He was at the residence of John
Lewis, a son of the Hon. J. F. Lewis
Arrangements for the meeting were made
in Richmond at the time when Mr. Elam
was in that vicinity and Mr. Beirne in
West Virginia. Some point midway be
tween the two places was fixed as the
place. The change of seconds was
made, and the cartel, as previously de
termined, namely, Colt’s six-shooters at
ejght paces, was agreed upon. Both prin
cipals managed to evade the vigilance of
the authorities, and at ii o’clock this
morning met in a strip of woods about two
miles from the Wavnesborough Junction
of the Shenandoah Valley and the Chesa
peake and Ohio Railroad. The distance
was marked ott’ and at the first tire
neither of the men was struck.
Mr. Beirne, the challenger, demanded
a second shot, which was granted, and
the bullet from his pistol imbedded itself
in the upper part ot Mr. Elam’s right
thigh.
Mr. Beirne was untouched.
Mr. Elam fell to the ground, and Mr.
Beirne, raising his hat to his fallen oppo
nent, was hurried into a carriage and
driven rapidly away.
. Subsequently lie' took a Shenandoah
Valley train at Crimmona.
Mr. Elam was also conveyed in
a earrriage to a house near
by, his surgeon attending him.
It was found that the extraction of the
ball would be attended with danger and a
consultation among surgeons was held.
The fact that the ball failed to force itself
through is taken as evidence in connec
tlbn with the character of the weapon
used and the distance that it came in
direct contact with one of the larger
bones. No arrests have been made nor
does there seem to be any disposition to
institute a legal investigation. Mr. Elam
was removed to the residence of John F.
Lewis and his wife 6ent for.
When the combatants took their po
sitions several gentlemen present, who
were not immediately connected with the
att’air, were asked to retire, and they did
so. A physician gave the word: “-Gen
tlemen, are you ready ? Fire! One, two,
three!”
The shots wore to be exchanged after
the word “fire” and before tlie word
“three.” At the word “one” both pistols
were discharged in quick succession, but
without effect.
The same programme was then re
peated, both reports being almost simul
taneous and just at the word “one.”
As Mr. Elam staggered under the effect
of the shot his second ran lorward and
assisted him to cushions, which had been
laid on the ground, 'flic wounded man
was under the impression that the ball bad
penetrated lift legs, and insisted that
mtch tv a- tiie case. When assured by the
surgeons that it had not even gone through
one leg, and that the intense pain in the
other was Iroiu sympathy, Mr. Elam ex
pressed regret that he had not demanded
another shot. lie was perfectly
cool and collected, and gave his directions
in a strong and composed voice.
Mr. Beirne also acted with deliberation,
Eand, although pale, seemed perfectly
cool. He was taken away by his second
alter it was discovered that Mr. Elam
cottid not again stand.
Mr. Elam was then placed in an ambu
lance, which started for the residence of
Lieutenant Governor Lewis, some fifteen
or twenty miles distant. It was doubt
ful what the effect of the ride would lx?,
and in case the wounded man was not
able to stand it, preparations lin'd been
made for his entertainment at the houses
of sonm of his most prominent friends
along the way. The wound is evidently
a serious one. Alter the ball struck Mr.
Elam he gave one or two steps forward,
and from that it was thought that his leg
was not broken. The surgeon, however,
stated that the muscle must have sus
tained him for that length of time.
Richmond, Va., June 30.—1n the meet
ing this morning between Messrs. Berrne
and Elam the provisions of the original
cartel were carried out until Mr. Elam
was shot. The cartel provided that after
the first shot, if neither was hurt, the
word should be given for a second round,
and then the parties should continue fir
ing, and advance if they choose.
On the second round Mr. Elam
received Mr. Beirne’s shot in
his thigh, and staggered or
fell and exclaimed: “I am hit!”
Mr. Beirne ceased firing, and his sec
onds declared that their principal was
satisfied.
Mr. Beirne then raised his hat, saluted
his opponent, and walked to liis carriage,
which he entered, and was driven away.
Mr. Elam was helped to his carriage and
taken to the Lynwood residence of Lieu
tenant-Governor Lewis, in Rockingham
county, a few miles from the scene of the
rencontre.
The ball in Mr. Elam's thigh was probed
for on the field, but was not found Tlie
wound is not considered dangerous, how
ever.
Mr, Beirne’s seconds were Frank
XX'right, of Petersburg, and AX'. Emmet
Choekley, of this city.
Mr. Elam's friends were D. Shaffex
Lewis and J. D. Snellings.
The delay of the meeting was caused
by the fear of arrest. Three attempts
were made to arrest Air. Beirne. The
parties were nearly 250 miles apart, and
had to come to the place of meeting in
private conveyances, traveling mostly
at night. Everybody seemed pleased that
the duel did not terminate fatally to
either.
Baltimore. June 30.—Richard F.
Beirne, who engaged iu a duel with Mr.
Elam, of the Richmond Whig, accom
panied by his seconds, Frank M. AVright,
of Petersburg, and AY. E. Chuckley, of
Richmond, as well as Andrew Beirne, of
Lewisburg, A'a., and H. M. Smith, Jr., of
Richmond, reached this city this evening
and stopped at Barnum’s Hotel. Their
future movements are not known.
Harbisonbi rg, Va., July I.—AX'. C.
Elam, who was wounded in the duel with
R. F. Beirne yesterday morning, is now

Many Northern Business Houses Refus
ing to Take Them.
Trenton, N. J., June 30.—Great ex
citement exists over the war on the trade
dollar here. A number of dry goods mer
chants came out in placards to-day an
nouncing that on and after to-day they
would not be received. Others announced
that on and after Monday the objection
able coin will not be taken.
Philadelphia, June 30.—Every bank
in the city has closed down upon trade
dollars. In many orders against its ac
ceptance was given out yesterday. In
others it was issued this morning! The
coin is not accepted at a discount by the
hanks, but is absolutely refused. Both
the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Companies have issued
orders to all agencies and offices, direct
ing them to refuse to accept the coin.
Most of the city and county offices were
still receiving the trade dollars this
morning, but were waiting in momentary
expectation of the order of the City Trea
surer forbidding them to accept tlie coin.
In the office of the Register of Wills,
notice that no trade dollars will be re
ceived is posted in a conspicuous place.
Private business houses which are still
accepting trade dollars, are doing so verv
reluctantly.
t ity Treasurer Irvine this afternoon
notified the receiver of taxes not to re
ceive the dollars hereafter, and the famil
iar sign “no trade dollars received here”
was displayed in the offices, Mr. Irvine
says that a number of the banks have
refused to receive trade dollars in large
quantities, and as he is averse to storing
them in the treasury vault is forced to
| take this course. He has sent no notice,
however, to the other departments, at
which many is received.
Washington, June 30.— The banks
here do not take trade dollars, but busi
ness houses have not as yet refused to
take them.
Buffalo, N. Y., June 30.—A1l the
banks, telegraph offices and a large num

Harrisburg, Pa., June 30.—The re
jection ot the trade dollar began here this
morning, and by noon every business man
and bank had notices posted that but 85
cents would be allowed for them. This
action caused general talk and much dis
satisfaction among the working classes,
several thousand dollars having been paid
out in trade dollars at the mills to-day.
As the result many families could not
provide themselves with edibles except
by sacrificing their earnings.
Cincinnati, July L—All the banks
yesterday gave notice that they would not
receive trade dollars.
THE COBDEN CLUB'S BANQUET.
Mr. Chamberlain Declares for Peace If
Possible, Justice at Any Kate.
London, June 30.— The dinner of the
Cobden Club took place at Greenwich to
night. M. Clemeuceau. the French Re
publican, who had expected to be pre
sent, was absent. Mr. Chamberlain,
President of the Board of Trade, pre
sided. Mr. Chamberlain, in a speech,
deprecated peace at any price
policy, and insisted upon the wis
dom of not interfering with cases like the
American war. He said that the Radi
cals in England would make the greatest
sacrifices to secure the unity ofthe Liberal
party. They were willing to yield liberty
of action for the present, but not lib
erty of opinion. The Radicals were the
pioneers. Unity of party was undesirable
at the price of their silence.
Sir Charles Dilke, President of the lo
cal government hoard, in proposing a
toast to the “Foreign visitors,” said that
the protective countries were drifting in
the direction of moderate duties, and that
there had been a great change in
the jiast year in favor of
free trade in America, where the Cobden
Club has more honorary members than
anywhere else. Horace - White said that
abstract free trade principles had made
little progress in America, but that free
trade itself had made much progress. The
Demoeiats would not do anything heroic.
A little more bankruptcy would do
more for knocking off" the tariff
there than free trade doctrines.
When tlie free trade should be adopted in
America, that country would become
England’s greatest competitor in the
world’s commerce.
Mr. Shearman recounted the history of
free trade and protection in America, ex
plaining that protection was due to the
civil war. Though expecting no imme
diate results, he said that he considered
tlie prospect of tree trade in America
bright.
TRAMPLED BY RUNAWAYS.
The Team Rushes Through a Children’s
Parade and Among the Spectators.
Milwaukee, July I.—A team attached
to a fanner’s wagon became frightened
yesterday at a band of music in a pro
cession of children from the Eleventh
district school and dashed through the
ranks ol the little girls, landing amidst
the spectators on the sidewalk. The
horses broke loose at this point and tram
pled the people under their hoofs in
every direction. One school girl
was killed, another received fatal inju
ries, and Mrs. Engle, who saved many of
the little ones bv pushing them aside, was
severely kicked about the hips. The list
of seriously wounded includes the daugh
ters of Peter Wess, Mr. Hennings and
William Luebeck, and the two infant
daughters of Valenta Siberil. It is esti
mated that over a dozen others were cut
more or less by the horses’ hoofs.

SAVANNAH. MONDAY, JULY 2, 1883.
JUDGE HOADLUS CANVASS
A BELIEF THAT TILDEN WILL
LEND HIS INFLUENCE.
The Friendship Between the Two and its
Strengthening—Speculation at the Bot
tom of the Trade Dollar Hue and Cry
Revenue Collector Johnson’s Popular
ity.
Washington, July I.—lt has come to
pass that among the political observers
there is a well planted conviction that the
coming campaign in Ohio will be, on the
Democratic side, a good deal of a Tilden
affair. The friendship existing between
Judge Hoadly, the Democratic nominee,
and Mr. Tilden, is too well known to be
referred to in the nature of anything like
a novelty. They are warm personal
friends. When that travesty of justice,
called the electoral commission, was at
work carrying out that for which it was
packed—the declaration that Hayes was
elected in 1876—Judge Hoadly was one of
the principal counsel which ap
peared before it in behalf ot Mr.
Tilden. He volunteered his services and
was accepted. He argued ably and work
ed indefatigably to an end which the com
position of the commission made it im
possible for any means shorter than those
of divinity to accomplish. Before that
date he and Mr. Tilden were great friends.
Ever since, they have been greater friends.
Mr. Tilden has expressed himself as
being thoroughly delighted with Hoadlv’s
nomination by the Ohio Democracy. He
will do all in his power to aid a success
ful issue to follow the nomination. It is
currently believed that Mr. Tilden will
do much to aid in defraying the expenses
of Judge Iloadlv’s campaign. Ohio
politicians say that Judge Hoadly is as
firmly impressed as ever with the convic
tion that Tilden ought to be President.
These facts have given the foundation to
the belief, which has become an estab
lished fact, that politically the
coming campaign in Ohio will
have infused into it a direct
issue of Tildeuism. It will be successful,
there is not much doubt. The effort < t the
Tilden men, including Judge Iloadlv, of
course, will he to throw the weight of that
success to the advancement of the inter
ests of the sage of Gramercy Park.
Whether this course will help that active
and robust climber of stairs (see Henry
Watterson) is i matter much more doubt
ful than the issue of the coming campaign
in Ohio.
There is going up all over the country
a howl about trade dollars. People are
refusing to receive them for more than 85
or DO cents. Placards arc posted around
warning the public not to take the coin
unless at a discount. It is generating
into a regular warfare against the trade
dollar. Let not the readers of the News
be deceived by thi6 crusade. It is but one
of three which have been made. It is
simply a scheme to make money. No
longer than three years ago the same war
tare was conducted. It was agitated and
agitated again that the trade dollar was
worth but DO cents. The banks, the
railroads, and dealers generally, refused
to receive them for a greater equivalent.
The consequence was that peeple who
came into possession of them were per
fectly willing to exchange them at the
rate of DO cents on the dollar. The pur
chasers were the people who started the
war against the coin—the brokers and
speculators who had started the crusade
of depreciation. When they had bought
the trade dollars at 85 and DO cents they
held on to them.
In the course of time the hue and cry
against these coins having ceased, thev
began to circulate at their face value and
have so circulated ever since.
The speculators having got
rid of them at a handsome profit, now
start again to play tlie same old game.
They are decrying and causing to be
printed all the old statements about the
baseness of the trade dyjjar. Thev are
simply trying to make another profitable
deal unto themselves. Those who man
aged the last crusade had their headquar
ters in Philadelphia. Now they are ope
rating from New York. It is a shrewd
game, and will very probably be worked
with a certain degree of success, but not
so successfully as it was about three
years ago.
Hon. John Ambler Smith, of Virginia
is a Radical Republican. He is also a Re
adjuster. I asked him to-day if he thought
Virginia’s next electoral vote would be in
the Republican column. “I do not,” he
replied. “It is a certainty in my opinion
that her next electoral vote will be Demo
cratic. The Republican party in my opin
ion has just as much chance of carrying
Mississippi in 1884 as it has of carrying
Virginia. The people down in the’ old
Dominion are sick of Mahont—sick of his
pretensions and his ambitions. He is all
for Mahone and for nothing else.
The recent changes in the inter
nal revenue districts have done
much to add to the disgust.
There were five internal revenue districts
in the State. They have been consoli
dated into three. The three men who ate
Collectors of the present districts are all
Mahone men, it is true. But how do thev
stand as regards the Republican party?
Every one of them voted at the last elec
tion for Hancock and English instead of
for Garfield and Arthur. It is a succession
of such manoeuvres as this which disgusts
the Republicans of Virginia. It does not
add strength to the party to have three men
who voted the Republican ticket tin ned
out and three men who voted the Demo
cratic ticket put in. It is, to say the least,
very discouraging.” It is stated here, and
generally believed, that when the internal
revenue consolidation scheme was under
consideration President Arthur was loth
to turn out the men in Virginia who had
voted for him and put in men who had
voted against bint; but that he was con
strained to do so by Mahone’s threat that
if he did not get what he wanted in this
matter the administration need not look
for the support of his vote in the Senate
the coming session.
A report has reached here that some of
those agile gentlemen, known as “Geor
gia Republicans.” and who, by the way,
have succeeded most ably in making that
term a laughing stock in the city of Wash
ington, are preparing some more war
paint. This time they are reputed us
hungering for the scalp of AYalter John
son, now Internal Revenue Collector for
the whole State. The aforesaid agile gen
tlemen can save themselves trouble by
listening to a fact or two. There is no
use in the world of their attempting
to get XValter Johnson out. lie
is one of the very lew—General Long
street is about the only other one—of the
“Georgia Republicans” who lias any
standing with the President and Secre
tary Folger. The latter gentleman is par
ticularly pleased with Johnson. The
President is generally of the same mind
as his Secretary of the Treasury in all
matters governing that department. Sec
retary Folger said to-day that he was not
acquainted with even the slightest cause
for removing Johnson. He did not know
in all the internal revenue service a bet
ter Collector than he. The fact of the
whole matter seems to be that the “Geor
gia Republicans” had better content
themselves with a back seat—at least
during the present administration. They
have told so many different stories about
some things and have been on so many
different sides, that they might as well
elevate their harps upon the willow. Dis
trict Attorney Darnell and District Attor
ney Speer are, for the manner in which
they conducted themselves in the Pleas
ant-XVimberly business, the acknowledged
leaders of the insincere.
It is t.iought here that Collector XValter
Johnson will give Jesse 11. XVimberly a
good place in the Georgia Internal Reve
nue Service.
A gentleman who was a clerk in the
Navy Department at the time gaye me to
day an interesting account of how the
budding of the first mouitor, which
disabled the Merrimac in Hampton
roads, was decided upon. The
board which had the matter in
charge consisted of Rear Admirals
Paulding, Davis and Smith. Of course
there was division as to the advisabilitv
of building the monitor, the first vessel o’f
the kind ever constructed, Rear Admi
rals Paulding and Ravis were against
building the vessel. Admiral Davis was
warmly iu its favor. They argued and
discussed the question for a loii"- time
It was finally decided that the "vessel’
should lie built under certainly very queer
conditions. These were that if she proved
a failure Admiral Davis was to assume
all responsibility for her. But if she
proved a success all the members of the
board were to share the honor. Admiral
Davis was so convinced of the style of
naval architecture that she represented
that he accepted these unequal terms,
History toils the result of the experiment.
Senißor Longer, the Michigan boss,
don’t get felt nhen the spoils go gaily
round. He has just succeeded in having
his son, Frank B, Conger, who has occu
pied various other lucrative positions un
der the President, appointed Postmaster
of this city. This office is a very neat
spoil. If Senator Conger is not a boss,
then there are no bosses. If ever a war
should break out the new Postmaster
would certainly be called upon to head
the District of Columbia militia. He is
the hero of one fight already. He was
present at the Burion-Soteldo altercation
in the Republican office last year, in which
.-Oteldo lost his life. Conger was then
connected with the business office of the
Republican. He did not engage verv
actively in the fight. He did not attempt
to separate the fighting men. No, in
deed}-; but he had an eye to the preserva
tion of property. While the men were in
the death struggle he snatched up a lamp
and left the room! He saved the lamp!
He is a hero of great presence of mind,
but don’t like to be reminded of it.

on account ofthe cholera in Egypt.
London, June 30.—1n the House of
Commons last night Lord Hartington, the
V ar Secretary, stated that every precau
tion has beeu taken to guard the troops in
Egypt against cholera.
Havre, June 30. — The steamer Keatt,
which has arrived from Bombay, has been
obliged to stay in the roads and perform
quarantine with the steamer St. Bernard,
which arrived yesterday from the same
place, with a case of Asiatic cholera on
board.
Gibraltar, June 30.—Quarantine for a
period of three weeks has been ordered
against all vessels arriving here from
places in Egypt and from Ottoman ports
on the Red Sea.
Alexandria, June 30.— An inspection
of the fresh water canal shows that the
water is good. There is no epidemic here.
1 lie panic over the cholera report is sub
siding. Sanitary commissioners have
been appointed here, composed of doctors
and engineers. There have been six
deaths from cholera at Mansurah to-dav.
Paris, June 30.—M. Harrison, Minister
ot Commerce, has informed the Cabinet
that all vessels suspected of being in
fected with cholera, arriving at French
ports on the Mediterranean and Atlantic
with clean bills of health, will be
treated as foul. He says that the reason
of this conrse is that the English make a
practice of granting clean bills of health
to vessels from infected ports.
LONDON, July I. —There were 10D deaths
from cholera at Damietta on Saturday.
The cholera has appeared at Samanoud, a
small town fifty miles southwest of Dam

HUSSEY AND THE GOVERNOR.
The Case Under Consideration, But Not
Decided.
Atlanta, Ga., June 30.— Owing to a
press of official duties, the sudden sick
ness of Secretary Palmer, and the ab
sence of Secretary Harrison, Governor
McDaniel has been very busy to-day and
was compelled to give up going home.
In connection with Attorney Genera]
Anderson he has given the case of Jules
Soule a full investigation, and although a
young wife and child appealed to him,
backed bjthe Solicitor General and other
influential parties, he this afternoon re
fused a pardon. lie has also, with Attor
ney Genet al Anderson, commenced an in
vestigation of the Hussey case, but will
suspend action until Thursday, in re
sponse to a telegram from Senator Mel
drim.
Ihe good people of Savannah
should be slow to condemn Gover
nor McDaniel, as he does not pro
pose to he influenced by any man's
appeals in regard to pardons. There
must be in the case itself some just cause
for executive clemency, or it will be with
held, though asked for by the President
himself. But Governor McDaniel be
lieves that he has no right to refuse a
suspension necessary to an investi,
gatiou of a case, arid the poorest man
and humblest woman will have
the same attention in such matters that
he would give the most distinguished
citizen of Georgia. If in anv case new
evidence has come to light and justice
demands clemency, he will grant it with
out regard to petitioners or political influ
ences.
In the Hussey case he may be trusted
to act wisely and well, and in such a man
ner as to uphold the majesty of the law
and vindicate its proper enforcement.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad

Paying Up the Ponds.
\V ashixgton, July 1. —It is probable
that a call for bonds will be made during
the present month if. as is now expected,
the condition of the Treasury will permit.
Secretary Folger has already directed that
an estimate be prepared with that end in
view. A great deal, will depend, howev
er-, upon the demands to be made upon
the lreasury by pension agents and other
disbursing officers atut the effect produced
upon the revenues of :he government by
the new tariff act, which has just gone
into operation, The treasury reserve yes

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
ALL THE STREET RAILWAY
COMPANIES BRISTLING.
Judge Palmer’s Illness—A Chip of the
Old Block—Flipper’s Successor at
West Point—The Property Boom
Military in Georgia—Major Smith’s
Future.
Atlanta, June 30.—The impending
street railroad war was nipped in the bud
by Mayor Goodwin and hostilities sus
pended until after the regular July meet
ing of the City Council.
We shall soon have several rival lines
of street railroads, an! it is safe to pre
dict a lively contest between them oc
casionally. Already the Gate City line
and the old line have had several skirm
ishes, and now the West End rival has
opened a fire from the opposite side of
town.
Col. Richard Peters, the veteran “boss”
of street railroads in Atlanta, and a great
benefactor of local travelers, appears to
be cool and happy in the midst of uprising
rival lines. He is willing to give them all
a chance, feeling sure that he can stand
it if they can. He has a long head, a long
purse aud a long continued experience
that will endure a big strain.
The military boom in Columbus is tak
ing an unhealthy aspect. The election of
a Lieutenant Colonel for the newly ordered
Sixth Battalion has created a sharp rival
ry between two most excellent candi
dates, and in consequence, rival compa
nies are rapidly filling up their ranks
with any kind of available voters. Of
course the defeat of either candidate,
under such exciting circumstances, will
result in permanent injury to tke bat
talion. A generous rivalry, however,
could do no harm.
The many friends of Judge 11. E. W.
Palmer, the Governor’s Private Secre
tary, will regret to learn ot' his sudden
illness to-day, and the prospect of his not
being able to resume his duties at once.
He is at Col. Mark Johnston's, where
every attention is being given him, and
his wife, at Oxford, has been telegraphed
for and will arrive to-night.
It is a very singular fact that the first
juror accepted in the case of CM. Marsh
T. Polk was a young man named James
Knox Polk Hill, whose father, one of the
ffixty-eight set aside, was rejected be
cause he had formed an opinion that Col.
Polk “got away” with the money.
We are having very cold nights and
chilly mornings, but warm in the middle
ofthe day. This has served to keep up
our unusual amount of sickness and to in
crease the death rate. Of course w ater
melons and other fruits not adapted to the
sick chamber find a rather slow sale. But
the Legislature w ill be here in a few days.
Gilbert De Wolf, son of Seuator *De
Wolf, of the Chattahoochee district, pos
sesses some of his venerable father’s back
oone, and although he failed last year at
West Point, he tried again this year and
passed a successful examination, much
to the joy of his many friends at home.
I see that a colored cadet has been ad
mitted, and that he is an extra fine speci
man. All right. I still assert that Flip
per will have no successor, as a </ra<iuate,
at West Point. Not because of anv in
justice on the part of the faculty of the
academy, but for the reason that the col
ored cadet has not got the faculty that
Flipper possessed to avoid the breakers.
Speaking of Flipper, his friends and
relatives here now express themselves
quite satisfied with his dismissal front the
army, as Major Wasson, whose deception
was of a worse character, has been given
a most disgraceful punishment despite his
high military rank and influential friends.
It is now evident that Flipper was perse
cuted because he was a colored officer.
There is quite a boom in Central
City property just now. A gentleman
sold at auction his fine brick residence
and lot for a little over $6,000, although he
claims that the house alone cost $17,000.
Another brick residence, said to rent for
SIOO per month, sold lor less than SB,(XX).
The boom may be beaded in a wrong di
rection, yet it is a boom.
I never lost faith in the final result of
tlie case of Romulus Shields, although,
like Asa Gunn, in the DeFoor murder
case, he was convicted on the first trial.
Here in Atlanta, in murder cases, it is no
uncommon thing for the first verdict to be
in direct opposition to the evidence. Out
side influences are used successfully to
gain either convictions or acquittals.
There never was a clearer case of self-de
fense than that of the negro Shields, and
w hen the evidence was properly put be
fore an unbiased jury he was promptly set
free.
Governor McDaniel is just noWjkept
extremely busy, and I have several times
failed, even after long and patient wait
ing, to get a word with hint in regard to
public matters. He goes home this after
noon, and will probably be able to remove
his family to the Executive Mansion next
week, as the repairs are nearly com
pleted.
Adjutant General Stephens will to-day
send anew supply of ammunition to the
First Georgia Regiment. This officer is
giving close attention to the duties of his
office, but additional legislation is re
quired to make an efficient military
system in Georgia. The present laws
have proved wholly inadequate to accom
plish that much-desired object. Outside
of Savannah there is no real progress in
military matters. What we want is
stability and efficiency in our battalion
organizations.
Major W, H. Smith, owing to the con
finement at the mines, and the absence of
his family, reoently resigned his position
of Assistant at the Dade Coal Mines, and
has gone to Fortress Monroe for his
health. On his return he will become As
sistant Postmaster in Atlanta. Capt. J.
W. Iteiifroe, formerly State Treasurer,
succeeds Major Smith at the Dade Coal
Mines as Assistant t Col. Wells, who re
mains as General Superintendent and
business manager. This gentleman is an
old railroad man, but I think his best
work has been done for Senator Brown at
Cole City. Under his able and wise man
agement the convict camps at that point
have become the most perfect models of
neatness, healthfulness and good order.
His long continuance in his present im
portant position is the best evidence of
his fitness for tffe responsible duties that
daily devolve upon him.
There are few- wiser or more modest
young men in the South than Joseph M.
Brown, of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, who ought to have the “E.” in his
father’s name and a “Jr.” to his own.
Although hundreds of vounger and less
competent men are constantly clamoring
to be made trustees oi the University at
Athens, young Brown very quietly de
clines a similar honor at Mercer Univer
sity. What a lesson for ambitious young
men does this son of a millionaire offer.
Turning aside from all such fleeting
honors, all political aspirations, he daily
devotes himself, like a galley slave, to
the hard drudgery of a railroad freight
office. With plenty of money at his com
mand, and the pleasures of the world
open to hup, yet fie prefers a life or steadv
devotion to Useful labor. What he has
none for the truck farmers and fruit
growers of Georgia can hardlv be con
ceived, for his far-reaching foresight has
given them a speedy and constantly en
larging outlet for their products to Wes
tern iqarkots.. T° him labor brings its
own reward in the good results achieved
Madame Humor says the Hon. Thomas
E, Watson, of McDuffie, the bold and fer
vid young orator, proposes to introduce
and advocate a dog law bill at the ap
proaching session. Well, he is a good
one to inaugurate a livelv fight, but I still
believe the mangy dog bolds the balance
ot power, and w ill win the contest. All
men do not use or favor whisky, but when
it comes to dogs, who are found in nearly
every house in file State, the question as
sumes a different phase, You may sup
press whisky, but you can’t cur-tail the
liberty of the dog. lam not opposed to a
dog law% but earnestly advocate such a
measure. For ten years I have labored
without a ray of hope, however, to pc are
such protection to our sb.ee,. grow ers" It
is true that the Constitutional Convention
adopted a su£ar-coated dog section vet
toe Word “dog” does not appear in it, and
it was allowed po g w \iuo,ppo,sed simply
because n was too harmless to demand
nuUce. He will he a brave man who shall
champion boldly this movement, and the
Legislature that passes such a law will
immortalize itself as it goes into the re
tirement that will follow such acthm.
In the interesting Atlanta correspond

Cu tue delicate little sw-ord that has so
long hung unused in the Executive De
partment at the capifcj, which was voted
to Coloapl Hamel Appling in 1814 by the
ueneral Assembly of Georgia, and which
hb died before receiving. This gallant
officer entered the service Of his countrv
iU fSOS, on May U, as Second Lieutenant
of the regiment of riflemen, then or
ganized under Colonel Alexander Smyth
General Thomas A. Smith, of Georgia
t\as the senior Captain of this regiment’
but became its Colonel in 1812, at which
time Lieutenant Appling was made
Captain. James Mclntosh, Elias Stallings
James Ragan and Josiah Hill, of Georgia
were among the Lieutenants. In 1814
Captain Appling became Major of his
regiment, and General Phil. Cook’s
father. Major Phil. Cook, was in the
Eighth Infantry. For gallantry at Sandv
Creek and at Plattsburs: this heroic officer
was given the brevets of Lieutenant
C olonel and Colonel, and when he resigned
from the service in 1816 he left behind him
a record glowing with distinguished
actions on the field of battle. It would
be well for our Legislature to put this
long neglected sword into a proper case,
and deposit it for safe keeping in the
archives of the Historical Society at Sa
vannah. The handle of the sword is
oroken, and other damage has been done
to it through its exposed condition, and
some action should lie taken to have it
cleaned up, repaired and preserved as a
“sword of honor” should be treasured bv
a grateful people, proud of the renown of
their military heroes of the past.

Ml RCH’S CASE AGAINST HILL.
Tlie Trial Continued Yesterday with
Me Arthur on tlie Stand.
Washington, June 30.—The Ilill in
vestigation was resumed to-day. John
McArthur, an architect from 1875, has
had charge of the work upon the Phila
delphia public building. The original
plans for the basement called for a brick
lining for the piers. Changes were made
from the original plans and granite was
used instead of brick. Mr. Hill, however,
had nothing to do with the changes. On
cross-examination the witness was asked
Ins opinion as an expert, whether it cost
more to complete the Philadelphia build
ing uuder the modified contract than it
would have cost under the 15 percent,
contract. The witness could not state
positively as to the relative cost without
taking the plans and making computa
tions of the actual cost. The w ork un
(Ut the modified contract was inferior in
quality to that performed under tlie 15
per cent, contract. The witness did jiot
know what the changes cost. He believed
that tlie changes improved the character
of the building. In reply to
questions by the committee', the
witness stated that granite of the
same quality as that being used.upon the
I Inhulelphia building could have been
obtained from other quarries at the time
the change was made from the 15 tier
cent, contracts. Asa matter of fact,
different kinds of granite was used in the
building. The witness would not have
left justified in paying exorbitant prices
for granite if the granite could have been
obtained.
KELLOGG'S PLEA ARGUED.
The Judge Defers His Decision on Ac
count of its Loeal Eftect.
Washington, June 30.—1n the Crimi
nal Court to-day argument was heard
upon the pleas in abatement entered in
the Kellogg case. Col. Bliss, for the gov
ernment, raised the objection that the
substance of the pleas was proper matter
for a motion to quash and not for a plain
abatement. The court seemed disposed
to adopt this view. Still Mr. Wilson, coun
sel lor ex-Senator Kellogg, insisted upon
a ruling upon the pleas as submitted,
reserving the right to make the same
matter the ground for a motion to quash.
Argument was then heard upon the pleas
separately. Especial attention was given
the plea alleging an improper selection of
the grand jury that returned the indict
ment against Ex-Senator Kellogg, and
Messrs. Bliss, t\ ilson, Shellabarger and
Merrick participated in the argument.
At its conclusion Mr. Wilson asked for a
decision, but upon the statement of As
sistant District Attorney Perry that the
point was of much importance and would
affect other local cases, the court con
tinued the case until Saturday next.

A QUESTION OF COURTS.
An Interesting Decision Handed Down
in West Virginia:
Wheeling, W. Va., June 30.— An im
portant decision was rendered in the Su
preme Court of this State to-day involv
ing the question of States rights. The
case grew out of the death of John White,
who was killed on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad in 1881, and whose admin
istration sued the company for $1,500
damages in the Circuit Court of Green
brier county. In the succeeding term of
the court the counsel for the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company made a motion to
transfer the case to the United States Dis
trict Court. The motion was resisted by the
plaintiff, and the court decided the case
not removable on the ground that the mo
tion should have been made at the term
before. At the following term it was re
lated that the case had been tried in the
United States Court and could not be
heard in the Greenbrier County Court.
Judge Holt decided that the case could
not be heard. A short time afterward ap
plication was made to the Supreme Court
for a mandamus compelling the Circuit
Judge to hear the case. In the meantime
Judge Jackson, oi the United States
Court, issued an order restraining
the administrator from prosecuting his
claim in the Supreme Court of this State
Shortly after, a trial was had in the Uni
ted states court and a non-suit was en
tered. Ihe opinion of the State Supreme
Court is that the case was not a reason
able one, and a peremptory mandamus
has been issued, compelling the Circuit
Judge to proceed with the trial of the
HEALY OK MONROE.

close. The Liberal candidate, Mr. Pringle,
has no chance of election. The priests
strongly supported Mr. Ilealy. There
was very little excitement. The result of
the voting will be known on Monday.

PUOP. HINDS AGAIN EXPOSES
THE FISHERIES FRAUDS.
| Sir Stanford Xorthcote and the Brltixh
Government Cognizant of the Falsity
of the Exhibits, But No Correction#
Made—The Xorthcote# Squarely De
! nounced.
| Windsor, X. s. ( June 30.-Professor
I Henry Youle Hind has furnished a long
statement for publication, in which he
| *?■ that the notice for the abrogation of
| the fishery clauses and Article XXX., of
[ the treaty of N\ ashington is to be given on
.fitly 1 by the President of the United
States, in accordance with the recom-
! mendation of Congress, and that this
i action suggests the publicity of such in
! formation respecting the matter as mav
be conductive to the public interest, and
j that circumstances have occurred in Eng
land which will render the inquiry there
in unexpectedly interesting aiid ex
haustive. Annexed is an address to the
Right Hon. Sir Stafford H. Xorthoote
M. P., and Henry S. Xorthcote, Esq.,
M. I\, in which he charges that the Rt.
Hon. Sir Stafford H. Xorthcote, M. P
being at the time a member of Her Maj
esty’s Government in the years 1877 and
IS7S, did accept' dishonorable
proceedings previously officially im
pugned and in part declared false by him
by the officers of the government and at
tested to all appearance by a subordinate
official witness before an international
Arbitration Commission, which proceed
ings arose out of the contingent covenant
with the Government of the United States,
to which covenant he was a party in the
year IS7I and that the responsibility for
this act of acceptance rests with' Her
Majesty’s Government of 1877 and 1878,
ot which he was the leading member.
That Henry S. Xorthcote,' M. I*., did ac-
cept known false descriptions and
delineations of the physical character!®
tics of the enormous property in the
transactions involving the sales and
transfer of said property to a vast ex
tent, the alleged value of said property’
being in part based upon false official anil
other descriptions, and the alleged char
acteristics emanating from the authors
or patrons of the proceedings referred to
and that both are in a large measure in
dividually and jointly responsible for the
present condition of affairs arising out of
the “Halifax Fishery Frauds” and the
“Northwest Territory Swindles.”
The address is accompanied by affi
davits, in which Mr. Hind charges that in
the spring of 1877, being then *en route to
undertake a scientific exploring expedi
tion for the government of New Found
land to the coast of Northern Labrador
he was summoned by the Canadian Gov
ernment to Ottawa, and instructed to pre
pare to act as a scientific witness on the
part of Her Majesty’s Government, before
the International Fisheries Commission
about to assemble at Halifax: that
shortly after his arrival at Ottawa a
certain alleged exhibition of the Canadian
fisheries were placed in his hands; that
he soon detected enormous differences
between the official records of the Cana
dian Government aud said exhibits, al
leged to lie taken from said records; that
he pointed out these differences to the.
proper officers and subsequently, but be
fore the assembling of the commission at
Halifax, to the British agent in charge of
the British case; that the British agent
assured him that the proper correction had
been made and that the exhibits referred
to were then correct; that near the close
of the proceedings of the commission all
the documents ot the commission were
■ officially in his hands by the joint > uthor
ity of the agents of the Governments of
Great Britain and the United States - that
he discovered that the differences pre
viously pointed out between the exhibits
111 the case of her Majesty’s Government
and the official records from which these
exhibits were alleged to bo taken had not
7u e corrected, as previously stated by
the British agents, but were retained and
made to form part of the case of her Ma
jesty’s Government; also that other and
veiy material differences from the record
of the Canadian Government had been in
troduced into said case prior to its pre
sentation; that he communicated this dis
covery to the proper Canadian authori
ties and subsequently to Her Majesty’s
Government some months before the
award of the arbitrators was paid by the
L mted Btatos without eliciting anv re
cogintian of the truth of his statement
that on November, 1878, he went to
England \v ith lull prool of the allegations,
having previously notified Her Majesty’s
Secretary of State for Foreign Allairs or
his intention to submit proofs in person,
but the mission was fruitless. Subse
quently, and in compliance with an in
formal request, he submitted his cone’m
sions and proofs to representatives of the
Government of the United States i n r„. •
son, and immediately after transmitted to
Her Majesty’s Secretary of State tor Fo£
I l * e 11 1 a corle pt account of w hat
had taken place at said private interview
pertinent to the matter. Prior and sub
sequent to this action he discovered that
the proceedings connected with the pre
paration of the case of Her Majesty’s
Government, presented at Halifax, X.

following atrocious and unlawful
First. The altering, to an enormous ex
tent, ol the numerical quantities and (lie
disguising ol the true relation of the fig.
ures alleged to be taken from the Cana
diaa records of the government, coupled
with the official presentation, under oath
to the arbitrators at the Halifax Comm is!
sion of these so altered and disguised
figures in the exhibits purporting to rep
resent the records of the government.
Second. The prior fabrication and man
ufacture ol alleged records of the govern
ment and the subsequent official presenta
tion, under oath, to said commission of
these alleged records as exhibits, purport
ing to represent the true rechrds of the
government.
Third. The suborning of fan official
witness to testily under oath ivad before
said commission to the truth of the afore
said altered and fabricated exhibits.
,uat shortly after the signing of the
treaty of AV ashington steps were taken—
I' irst, to tamper with the officer or officers

among other things to secure certain
changes and representations Jn the

ot the United States Government relating
to commerce and navigation, and con
cerning the fisheries and other matters,
