Another man. Captain J. D. Rhodes, a
swimmer of *oine note, is about to engage
in the foolhardy undertaking of swim

ago in attempting this perilous task,
ought to deter others from making a sim
ilar attempt. Captain Rhodes has invent
ed a life-preserving armor which he is
satisfied will carry him safely through the
rapids. He ought to be captured and
placed in a lunatic asylum.

drink intoxicating liquors, while a good

Another star route contractor, it seems,
lias gone w rong. The Post Office Depart

Adams, of Alabama. He bas star route

names of his bondsmen. It is al>out time
the government secured a few- convic
tions. Enough star route contractors are
now under arrest to keep Bliss St Cos. em
ployed several years if all the trials oc
cupy as much time as the last one. It
will also be necessary to reduce the fees
of the government attorneys if the Treas

Washington is stirred up every once in
a while by the announcement that the
hiding places of Captain Howgate and
Major Nickerson have been discovered.
A few davs ago it was stated that How
gate had been seen near Tiuey Creek,
Maryland, where he used to hunt and fish
in the days of his prosperity. It was also
stated that Nickerson a few days ago was
f\ Philadelphia. It is about certain that
the statement regarding both of these
worthies was a false alarm. They pro
pose to keep out of the way, and, besides,
it is by n<> means certain that the 11 ar
Department is very anxious to find either
of them.
The managers of tue Louisville Exposi
tion have started a scheme to get about
forty Federal and ex-Confederate Gen

a formal and pleasant burial of the
hatchet. Hampton. Longstreet, Duke,
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan have been
mentioned in connection with the pro
posed reunion. It is the intention to put
the scheme in operation some time in
October. Efforts have been made to bury
the hatchet so often that it is to be hoped
that it will be got under ground after
awhile. However, we are In favor of any
thing that will get the hatchet out of sight
and help the Exposition along.
The Washington Republican has an
interview with Cornelius O’Donnell, who
claims to lie a brother of the O’Donnell
who shot the informer Carey. Cornelius
says that his brother left for Dublin last
November, ostensibly to help the suffering
people or Ireland, llis home was in Chi
cago. About two months ago Cornelius
received a letter from his brother stating
that he was about starting for South
Africa to settle. A Kansas City pajier
says that O’Donnell is recognized as
Thomas Phelan, who lett that city lor
Dublin about eight mouths ago. It looks
waif the papers would have an interesting
time in discovering the identity of the
slayer of the informer.
There doesn’t appear to be any vitality
in our State Department. American citi
zens are imprisoned and American ships
are seized with impunity. Not long ago a
couple of American citizens were im
prisoned at Panama and detained for
months. They were denied a trial ot the
charges against them, and were finally
released. They have not been able to
obtain any redress, and our government
declines t interfere in their behalf. A
few days ago two American barks were
seized by the Spanish authorities at
la Grande, Cuba, mi some flimsy
pretext. The State Department has been
notified, but no actlou has been taken, and
there are no indications that any action
will be. Is it not about time there was
someone at the head of the State* De
partment who has some appreciation of
what is due to this government from
foreign governments, and who has back
bone enough to insist that the rights of
American citizens shall be respected!'
A Bail System of Valuing Property.
Some days ago we stated that we had eve
ry reason to believe that there was a good
deal of property in this county on w hich
no taxes were paid. The property is not
returned to the Receiver of Tax Returns,
and there appears to lie no way in which
that official can reach it. The fact that
this year’s digest shows an increase of
over a million dollars in the value of taxa
ble property may lie accepted as evidence
that he has discharged his duty as well as
the present system of levying taxes will
permit. There ought to be measures taken
to reach all the taxable property in the
countv. It is unjust to those who pay, and,
besides, it is the occasion of discontent to
permit any property to escape the pay
ment of taxes. There is another matter
which is beginning to attract attention and
excite discussion. It is the system of asses
sing city property at only about one-third
of its real value. According to this year's
digest the entire value of property in this
city is only a little over eleven millions
of dollars. Everybody who has any
knowledge of the city knows that thirty
millions would hardly cover our taxable
property. The fact that property is assessed
at only about one-third of its value is not
known, perhaps, outside of the State. The
impression created abroad, therefore, is
that property is comparatively worthless
here, because a city of forty thousand in
habitants that has only eleven millions of
dollars' worth of property, must be a very
poor city indeed, Tljc truth is that prop
erty commands as high a price here as in
any city of its size In the country. There
are neither vacant dwelling nor business
houses. This low valuation necessitates
a high rate of taxation. It is announced
to the w orld that our city tax is 3 per
cent. It is .1 j>er cent, on the present val
uation of property, but it is only 1 per
cent, on a fair valuation. The
true state of affairs, however,
is not generally known, and those who
have money to invest are kept away from
us by the stories of our high taxes. There
| is no question that our system of taxation
| has been, and is. a great hindrance to the
! growth of our city. There* is, of course.
| an excuse Jor the system. A fair valua
tion ol property would compel the people
I of this city to pay to the State about three
times as much taxes as jieople of many
other sections of the State pay. In a
majority of counties, perhaps, of the
state property is assessed at only about
one-third of its value. The people of this
city cannot, of course, afford to he taxed
three times as high as the people of other
localities. The present system is wrong.
It i. deceptive, not to say dishon
est, and that which is dishonest
can hardly be productive of permanent
goo*l. it is injurious to our city, and the
sooner U i changed the better it will be
for us. The only just and fair way to
assess projierty is t<> assess it at about its
real \alue. This way of levying taxes
imposes no bea-ier burden on tax-pavers
that the present system. A change of the
rate of taxation from 3 to 1 per cent,
would l>e of vast benefit to us.
Stale Claims.
The recent decision of ifiG First Uojjiji
troller of the Treasury to the effect that
the claim of the State of Georgia tor
moneys advanced for the common defense
in the Revolution, allowed by Congress,
should i>c* offset by the amount due from
this state to the Federal Treasury under
the direct .as act of I*9ll, has excited con
siderable comment. The effect of the
decision is practically a mere change of
figures in the Federal ledger. The
aiuoqnt involved was comparatively
trivial, ou. if the decision of Judge Law
rence stands, its effect R ill have a wide
influence.
But few of the states that seceded have
paid the tax levied under the act of I*9ll.
either in w hole or in part, and the amount
duo It eharged against them. It is a
question, though, whether the govern
ment can legally proceed aguiust these
states or recover from them. The debt is
due not from the States, but from the eiti
zens thereof. The Baltimore Sun, a lew
days ago, published a carefully prepared
article dealing with this question,
but more particularly with the mat
ter of the government’s allow
ing interest upon claims due
by it to the saaieg, While Congress has
established the rule that interest shall not
be paid on individual claims, a contrary
rule has l**en established as to debts due
to states. The government is indebted
to the State of Maryland for money ad
vanced for the erection of public build
ings at Washington iu 1792. This debt
amounts, with interest, to $465,125. The
government has an abundant surplus and
can well afford to refund the money.
But. returning to the claim of Georgia.
In the case of McCullough vs. the State
of Maryland, it was held that neither the
states nor the Republic could tax each
other. The act of 1861 had no warrant
save the exigency of war, and really
only bound those States that voluntarily
complied with its provisions. So far
from Georgia’s being compelled to loose
her claim the demands ot equity, if com
plied with, would allow it, and restore to
the States that complied with the act of
1861 the amount paid the Federal Treas
ury.
In all the interviews with Southern
Congressmen which have l*een published
lately no particular preference for any of
the candidates for the Democratic Presi
dential nomination has been expressed.
Perhaps an exception might lie made in
the case of Senator Wade Hampton, who
expressed a personal preference for Bay
ard. It would perhaps, be better for
Southern men to adopt an aggressive rath
er than a passive course in this matter.
The South will have to furnish the
greater part of the votes to
elect a Democratic President, and there
is no good reason why she should not
either have a candidate of her own, or
have a choice of the candidates who are
now in the field. The South has qui
etly submitted to the dictation of
the North in the selection
of a Presidential candidate long enough.
It the Northern Democrats had always
mad*; wise selections there would, per
haps, be no occasion to take the reins out
of their hands in the approaching national
contest. A little ot that political sagacity
for which the South has always been
noted would perhaps assist amazingly in
selecting the right-candidate and in the
proper management of the campaign.
C. Leventhorpe, living in North Caro
lina, corrects a correspondent of the New
York Sun, who stated that no diamonds
bad been discovered in North Carolina. Mr.
Leventhorpe says that several years ago,
a laborer found a diamond on his property
in Rutherford county. I). J. Twitty, of
Spartanburg, had a diamond which was
found in Rutherford county. It weighed
about a carat, and w as slightly yellow in
color. The same Mr. Twitty at*ove men
tioned, had a diamond worth S4OO, which
was found in South Carolina. Mr. Leven
thorpe says that “numerous diamonds
have been discovered in Georgia. After
the war, during the prevalence of a •min
ing fever,’ a company was formed for ex
ploring the diamond washings. 1 heard
nothing further of this enterprise, and if
dividends were declared the announce
ment escaped my notice. I have in my
possession a rough diamond from W hite
county, Georgia, It is of very perfect
water and crystallization, and weighs ex
actly three grains.’’ It is not at all prob
able that diamonds exist in any one of
the three States iu sufficient quantities to
justify mining for them.
Mr. W. D. Chipley, Vice President of
the Pensacola and Atlantic-Railway Com
pany, has written a strong letter to Gen.
Barnes, Comptroller of Florida, protest
ing against the high assessment placed on
his road, Mr. Chipley says that the as
sessment placed by tlie State for the cur
rent year on its railroads amounts to $7,-
705,209 72, and that last year the assess
ment amounted to only $4,726,942 80. He
emphatically declares that the difference
m the assessment is not caused by the
building of new railwavs, hut is due to
the fact that the State has increased the
assessed value of railway projierty. He
proceeds to say that Florida would
amount to nothing without railways, be
cause her prosperity depends on getting
her products to market quickly. As the
railways are making the State wealthy,
be thinks the State should deal leniently
with them. He advises General Barnes
“not to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg while it is a gosling.’'

There is a field for Northern laborers

TIIOMASYILLFAS GHUAT LOSS.
Flirt Her Particulars of the Huriiing of
the Mitchell House.
Correspoialeuc. of the Morning News.
Tiiomanville, August 3.—1 wired you
an account of the terrible calamity
which has befallen this community
in the burning of the Mitchell
House. This magnificent structure was
erected by Mr. Thomas C. Mitchell, of this
place, in 1874-5. Its menu anil our cli
mate, unsurpassed, in the opinions of ex
perts, tor salubrity, have carried the name
of Thomasville into the remotest corners
of the Union. Ido not think it exaggera
tion to say that this investment
of Mr. Mitchell added $500,000
to the wealth of Thomas county. The
hotel stimulated immigration, for each
season the Mitchell House sent thousands
of visitors from the North and Northwest
back to their homes to publish the advant
ages of our section. The hectic flush on
many a face has given place to a ruddier
glow under the influence of our gracious
atmosphere. The cloud oyer many a heart
has been dissipated "neatli the bright
skies that hang over us as
a ceaseless benediction. Many
a life, over which stealthly disease
had thrown its black pall,has been sweet
ened and prolonged by “drinking a purer
air” made therapeutic in nature’s labora
tory. Thoinasville’s reputation as a health
resort has become national, and without
the Mitchell House this would never liaye
been possible. This calamity is a dread
ful one, liut there is too much vitality in
Thomasville for it to produce permanent
depression for it to constitute theinitial
step in retrogression. While the Mitchell
was yet burning our people held a public
meeting and resolved upon Its speedy re
building. Mr. Mitchell, 1 learn, has been
offered $15,000 for one-lourth of any acre
of tlie hotel lot. This does not look as if
Thomasville property had dejireclated as
a consequence of the tin*. Tlie proba
bility now is that a hotel costing $150,000
will be erected in its stead.
As to the origin ol tiie fire nothing is
known. At 12 o’clock Bill Brown, a
l>arix*r, who perished in the flames, was
seen by a policeman in front ol the hotel.
He soon thereafter went to his room iu
the third story of the kitchen, and it
is conjectured that he possibly left a lamp
or candle burning, and that thus the lire
originated. That lie was burned up there
can lx* no possible doubt, llis chin bone,
ids liver, heart and teeth have been found,
He was employed in the Mitchell House
barber slioji, and came here from Cuth
bert or Eufaula.
As I stated in my dispatch, the losses
were heavy. Mr.T. C. Mitchell, the owner
of the hotel, is the heaviest loser, The ho
tel cost him $125,000. llis insurance was
$67,500. 1. Steyernian. general merchan
dise, lost $14,000, insurance $6,000. W.
M. lteese, drugs, was insured for $3,000,
which will cover his loss. M. A. t assady
A Bro., drugs, were insured for $t,500,
which will cover their loss. The J. Forties
Furniture House carried a stock of from
$4,000 to $5,000, insurance $1,500. Nearly
all their goods were saved and insurance
may cover losses. Dr. U. A. Stegall, cot
ton broker, the Singer Manufacturing
Company, Dr. T. M. Mclntosh and S. G,
McLendon, whose offices were in the Mit
chell House, sustained trifling loss. The
post office papers and fixtures were all
saved.
Postmaster Dekle now occupies a room
at the court house. I hope to be able
early next week to say that work will at
once lie commenced, and that anew Mit
chell House, improved and enlarged, will
rise where now there is only a mass of
ruins. There is to be another public meet
ing held on Monday evening at 4 o’clock.

The Whistling Fish of Nevaila.
Walker Lake Bulletin.
One of the most singular of the fish
family is doubtless the whistling sucker,
which Is sometimes caught in Walker
Lake. The fish, when caught, emits a
plaintive whistle which will almost per
suade an angler with any tenderness of
heart to throw it back into the water.
Charley Kimball has one which was
caught in a net when quite young. He
keeps it in a tank, and has taught it to
know him and whistle when it is hungry,
Wheu its master ajiproatUes, the fish
pushes its nose and mouth barely out of
the water, and, making a pucker with its
lips which the human pucker does not
nearly equal, whistles some shrill notes.
It appears to have some of the parrot
characteristics, and Kimball thinks that
in time be can teach it to whistle part of
some simple tune.
LOUISVILLE'S PAGEANT.
How tlie Town Went Wild at the
Opening of the Exposition.
Correspondence of the Morning News.
Louisville. Ky., August 2.—At last
the long heralded event has come to pass.
The great Exposition has been opened
with a flourish of trumpets anil amidst
boundless speech-making and hymning
and feasting and making merry. Beyond
the fact that it is open and the manner
thereof, and that the world is free to flow
back and forth through its wide doors,
there is really but more as yet to
tell. There has been no lack of croakers
from the beginning, and at the last there
was some real trepidation lest the Presi
dent’s invitation and the formal inaugura
tion should prove premature. During the
past two weeks almost every workman in
the city was pressed into service
at double wages to bring it to
completion at the appointed season.
But the main trouble is with the exhibi
tors, who have been so dilatory that vast
sjiaees are either entirely empty or filled
with a chaotic mass, which it will take
weeks to bring into shape, The Art Gal
lery is still in confusion, only about a
third of the pictures being hung, the re
mainder scattered pretty much every
where, The view on the Park side is very
lovely; the fountains are in full play, the
flowers in the perfection of growth and
bloom, and the shadow of trees is delight
ful.
The line of procession taken by the
President’s party was bewildering with
bunting and lanterns t<> its extreme
limit; indeed, the entire city, including
public and private buildings, has never
1 presented such a brilliant appearance.
The morning broke with lowering clouds
and sultry atmosphere, aud the day was
divided between rifts of struggling sun
; shine and a light drizzle; hut that did not
! prevent thousands from crowding out to
: the great temple to await the arrival of
the President. The speaker’s stand was
in the centre, surrounded with palms;
and as the distinguished visitors mounted
, the steps and came forward, they passed
j under a kind of triuntphai arch of ever
i greens and flower?. Directly in front of
i the grand stand is the huge organ, and
| there, too, was located the Seventh Regt
! inent and the mighty chorus,
After patiently waiting, at nearly hall
past twelve the bugles of the Louisville
! Legion announced the august approach;
! the Reception Committee hurried from the
; stand to the Fourth street entrance, the
: band struck up “llail to the Chief,” anil
, in halt a minute, amidst a deafening
shout, the President mounted the stand,
accompanied by President Dupont, of the
Exposition Company: behind him came
Secretary j inoolu and General Basil
Duke, Secretary Folger and General Win.
Preston, Postmaster Gresham with Col.
John Mason Brown, and Governor Black
burn with Judge Rollins, of New York.
Then a crowd oi' followers, amongst them
General Phil. Sheridan, Congressman
Morey, Colonel Mike Sheridan, Seuator
Bayard, C. C. Raldwln, Vi alter Evans,
Congressman Low ry and a host of lesser
lights, until the stand was|crowded.
After prayer by Dr. Perkins, rector of
St. Paul’s, Mayor Jacob delivered the ad
dress of welcome in unite fraternal terms;
then Governin' Blackburn took the Presi
dent's arm aud hoisting him into full
view simply introduced him without any
speech. Alter the lusty cheers subsided
PRESIDENT ART HI H,
i in a very clear aud distinct voice and with
j a graceful manner, delivered the follow
-1 mg brief address:
j “Fki.lw Citizens—l count myself fortunate
! in being within the borders of this beautiful
city of the Booth, on a Uay which must be
henceforth memorable in her history. Fora
: great undertaking—an undertaking of na
tional importance ami interest—enters here
and now upon ils career. I congratulate the
j promoters and managers of this enterprise
! that even at the very threshold of ilsexlst
j enee it gives abundant pledges of success.
The zeal ami enthusiasm which they have
displayed m their labors of preparation, and
the frequent tidings of encouragement and
cheer with which these labors have been light
ened and made glad, the splendid triumphs of
American genius, activity and skill which are
arranged within these walls, the presence of
the eager multitude that throngs its hospitable
streets, all nu> tokens that your enterprise
will lx* crowned with brilliant, far-reaching
i ami enduring success, li will multiply the
| ends of industry, better it- operations and
! elevate its standard of attainment. By sug
geslang new wauls it w lilcveitenew activities.
It will disclose natural resources as yet almost
unexplored arid tend further to their prompt
and profitable development. In countless
ways it will promote the arts of peace and
will bring about the works of peace, pro
claiming harmony, good will and brotherly
kindness throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof.”
At the conclusion the President declared
the Exposition open, and pulled the silken
cord at his band.’ It was such a slender
c..rd it seemed it would take a pretty
good jerk to be effective, and many a
bosom palpitated with fear lest the calm
anil dignified President would Is* com
pelled to let go with his heels and swing
around op that cord. The necessity for
this did not arise, however, and with a
double pull the deed was consummated.
A clear, sweet chime of bells started up
somewhere, the throttles of the Reynolds-
Corliss engine opened, the roar and clatter
of machinery shook the walls, and, with a
jubilant, mighty shout, the monster lived
and moved. Then the, organ, the chorus
anil orchestra, united with the enthusi
astic voices of the throng, swelled and
roared in the national anthem, “My Coun
try, ’Tis of Thee.”
After being escorted through the build
ing the
PRESIDENTIAL PARTY LUNCHED
with Mr. Dupont at his residence in the
Park. The President soon returned to the
Galt House, leaving Secretary Lincoln
and several others, who from the length
of time they remained presumably de
voured all the scraps. At six the Presi
dent and suite, not including Gen. Sheri
dan and party an lio left eurlv, attended a
banquet at the Peudennis Chib in its new
and elegant quarters on Walnut, and
Fourth avenue. This dinner was pro
nounced the most superb affair of its kind
ever given in Louisville; the exquisite
flowers, the wines, the viands and the
guests place it upon the record of memo
rable events.
At night the visitors were escorted
through the city to witness the dazzling
illumination, and thence to the Exposi
tion to see it by the electric glare and to
listen to the great concert, and thus tlie
last feature iu the gala day brought the
programme to ils end.
On the evening of the President’s arri
val, after the Galt House dinner, lie at
tended a brilliant reception at the home
of Mr. F. 1). Parley given to Mr, Perry
Belmont and Mr. 0. C. Baldwin, of New
Y'ork, who ate guests of Mr. Carley.
The President is universally admired,
especially hv the fair ones, who pronounce
him perfectly lovely, and even the men
agree that he is quite “as good as they
make them.” There was quite a flutter
of millinery amongst the Galt House
ladies. This being a widower President
and a dangerous flirt withal, they were
naturally agitated, for who knew what
might happen? It is even now the gossip
of tlie moment that Mr. Arthur in -his
short stay played the devoted to the cele
brated belle and beauty and still fasci
nating widow, Miss Sullie Ward Arm
strong.
On Wednesday afternoon a committee
of Louisville geutlemen devoted to the rod
waited on the President and presented
him with a gold and silver reel, with
jeweled pivots and agate handle, the
manufacture of a Louisvillian, and en
cased in an elegant box hearing an in
scription from Isaac Walton,
After the inauguration ceremonies were
concluded, and before the party left the
stand, vociferous calls were made ftir
Lincoln and Sheridan. Thu Secretary
arose and bowed, but made no remarks:
Sheridan’s modesty overcame him, doubt
less, and he sat still and made no sign.
THE HAMMER OF EVERY WORKMAN
U the Exposition dropped at 5 o’clock
yesterday morning, and not a tool was
touched for the remainder of the day.
The garden is being laid out rapidjy, aiid
the inner courts already blossom, like the
rose.
Tennessee is one of the few exhibitors
whoso Commissioner (McWhorter) has
brought tilings into almost perfect order,
she is represented by a pavilion support
ed ou columns of her native woods, eight
m variety, In the centre is an octagonal
pyramid thirty feet in height, provided
with shelves, and on these are displayed
the numberless specimens of ores, her
wealth of cereals and countless varieties
of the famous Tennessee marbles. It is
one of the most attractive spots in tlie
building, although not yet completely
arranged.
The foully interesting period of the Ex
jiositioiv can hardly he expected before
the latter jiart of this month; it must
necessarily require a week or two from
the present standpoint to get everything
into “ship-shape.” The local exhibitors
have been more exasperating than those
from abroaffi in their dilatoriness. The
official catalogue will not be issued before
the 15th ot August. In the meantime
the jubilee is over, the mammoth enter
prise is started on its rejoicing mission,
and the managers rest a moment on their
laurels and cry, “It is enough.”
Coyle Douglas.
A great many jieople feel themselves
gradually failing. They don’t know just
what is the matter, but they suffer from
a combination of indescribable aches and
pajns, which each month seem to grow
worse. The only sure remedy known that
will counteract this feeling and restore jier
feet health is Brown’s Iron Bitters. By ra
pid assimilation it purifies the blood,
drives out disease, gives health and
strength to every portion reached by the
circulatory system, renews wasted tis
sues and restores robust health and
strength.
