The Florida Annual savs: “City-bred
sportsmen may think that South Florida needs
a game law to protect her deer; but if they
had had two or three successive seasons’
struggle with them to see which should get
the most potatoes, when a large part of
their living, and that of their stock, de
pended on this crop, as sometimes happens,
they would possibly change their
minds. The old bucks will paw the potato
beds and destroy a large number besides w hat
they eat, and, if they have families of four or
five does and fawns, they can make potatoes
very scarce in a short time.”

Yesterday’s Jacksonville Times- Vnion says:
“J. A. Mercier, of the Sea Island Route, ar
rived in the city last night, and soon after his
arrival called at the Times- I'nion office. Mr.
Mercier says that lie read the exposure of the
bunko thieves in the Times-Union a few days
ago and the description of the men given.
When the Savannah train reached Waycross
yesterday, three men hoarded it, and" from
what he read in the Times-I'nion, concluded
that they were of the party of bunko men,
and spotted them. An old gentleman occu
pied a scat just behind him, and the suspected
thieves took seats behind the old gentleman,
and soon engaged in conversation with him,
stating that they were siiendiug
the season here and had t lieir fam
ilies at one of our most promi
nent hotels. Mr. Mercier notified the con
ductor of the train of his suspicions, and a
watch was set over the party. The three men
soon induced the old gentleman to enter into
a game of three card monte and won S2O from
him, which they were subsequently forced,
through the efforts of Mr. Mercier and the
conductor, to return. Mr. Mercier had ar
ranged to telegraph the reporter of the Times-
Fnion to meet the train with an officer, but
the thieves got off at Callahan, consequently
nothing could be accomplished, and he did not
do so. Passengers coming to this eitv imd
better be careful of card players on the‘trains
between here and .Savannah, as the thieves
who have been run out of the city are now
endeavoring to play their games on the
trains.”
Thursday morning the remains of a white
infant were discovered in a barrel of offal
which had been hauled to Gould’s Fertilizer
Works from Jacksonville during Wednesday.
The child was, says the Times- Cnion, in a per
fect state of preservation, was large (weigh
ing, as the doctor said, uot less than nine
Hounds), perfectly formed, and out of its
mouth was (sizing a thin, bloody liquid. Upon
a close examination of its head a large, ugly
gadi over an inch in leugth was found just
under the right ear, apparently extending
through to the mouth, while the exposed flesh
was perfectly fresh aud clear. The side of
the skull was also crushed in, The doctor was
unable to decide whether these evidences of
violence were caused by a blow from the
shovel while the body "was being removed
from th" vault, or whether they were caused
in taking the child’s life. The eyes were
bluish, but very much bloodshot.* It was
evident that the infant had been born within
three or four days at tiie farthest. At the
request of the Coroner, the doctor then opened
the body and examined the lungs, which he
found inflated with air, when he gave it as his
positive opinion that the child had breathed.
Green Jackson, an old colored man. was
the one who had placed the offal in
the barrel, which was hauled out to
the works by Jerry Jamison. Jackson
testified that he cleaned several places be
tween four and five o'clock Wednesday morn
ing. He had inspected the barrel in
which life body was found and recognized
it as having beeu taken from a well known
respectable house in the city. While re
moving the offal from the vault lie remem
bered taking out an unusiAlly heavy pack
age which had the appearanccof being' a bun
dle of old rags and paper, but be paid no
special attention to it. About 4 o’clock,while
removing the barrel, be and Jamison noticed
a lady apparently in her night dress, looking
at them from one of the upper windows of the
house. After filling the barrel besprinkled
lime over its contents, and went to look for
Jamison, and on their return found an obi
vest partly hanging on the side of the barrel
and partly on the ground. He had not no
ticed the vest lielore. llig testimony was
quite lengthy and at times was contradictory,
so much so that the Justice and jury were
led to believe that bo is in possession of facts
w hich lie is not disposed to reveal, anil lie
lias been held for further developments.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
THE HOUSE PASSES THE PORTER
RELIEF BILL,
One Hundred and Eighty-Four to Seven
ty-Eight the Vote on the Measure-
Amendments which it is Hoped will
Help Pass the Bankruptcy Bill—Perry
Belmont on the Pork Question.
" ashingtox, Feb. I.—lt is expected
that the Senate Judiciary Committee will
report the Lowell bankruptcy bill, with
some amendments, at the next meeting.
The friends of the measure have been en
deavoring to frame amendments which,
in their opinion will silence
the opposition of the Southern
and Western members, and they think
that the amendment prepared
by direction of the National
Board of Trade at its recent
session here will go far towards that end.
The principal amendment thus proposed
limits “involuntary bankruptcy” to trad
ers, and defines more precisely and fully
what persons are not “traders,” and thus
subject to this section. A great deal of
opposition to bankruptcy legislation
arises from thefariners and planters of the
West and South, who are unaccustomed
to meet their obligations promptly on the
moment of maturity, and this
amendment is designed to pre
vent the forcing of any
such into bankruptcy against their will
but it does not prevent voluntary bank
ruptcy on the part of anv one. Another
amendment which will commend itself to
small traders increases the amount of in
debtedness required of a debtor before he
can be declared a bankrupt from SSOO to
SI,OOO. It is stated that if those interested
in the passage of the measure were as
earnest in their support as those opposed
are in opposition there would be no doubt
of the passage of a bankrupt law at this
session.
PORK RETALIATION.
“Concerning the American hog aud the
effect on our exportations of pork, there
are two propositions before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs,” said Rep
resentative Ferry Belmont, of New York,
to-night. “One is a retaliatory measure,
the other the appointment of inspectors to
inspect our meats as thev are packed at
the packing houses. lam decidedly in
favor of retaliatory measures. The proposi
tion for an inspection law is but another
scheme to create an additional army of
office holders.” Mr. Belmont, who is con
sidered the real headof the Foreign Affairs
Committee, says that he differs from Com
missioner Coring as to the number of
pork inspectors that will be required.
Mr. Loring thinks twenty would be suf
ficient. Mr. Belmont thinks that the
number required would run up into
thousands. He believes that the retalia
tory bill introduced by Gen. Browne, of
Indiana, is the one that should be passed.
THE ELECTIONS INVESTIGATIONS.
All the members of the Senate Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections were pres

IX THE HOUSE.
Lively Discussion of the Fit* John Por
ter Bill and its Passage.
Washington, Feb. I.—The Speaker
laid before the House a letter from the
Attorney-General asking for an increase
of the clerical force in the Department of
Justice. It was referred.
Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, introduced a
bill prohibiting the removal of employes
of the House, except for cause, during the
vacation of Congress. It was referred.
And also a resolution amending the rules
so as to make a similar provision. It was
referred.
On motion of Mr. Randall, of Pennsyl
vania, the further conference asked by
the Senate on the Greely relief hill was
agreed to, and Mr. Randall and Mr. Cal
kins were appointed as conferees.
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Ellis,
Holman and Ryan as conferees on the part
of the House on the bill appropriating
$50,000 for the support of destitute Indians
in Montana.
The morning hour having been dis
pensed with the House at 2:45 o’clock went
Into committee of tha whole, with Mr.
Springer, of Illinois, in the chair, on the
Fitz John Porter bill, the general debate
being limited to three hours and forty-five
minutes.
Mu Wolford, of Kentucky, resumed his
argument, begun last Saturday, in sup
port of the bill. He criticised the speech
made by Mr. Horr, of Michigan, lecturing
ex-Confederates for voting upon this bill.
That gentleman had said that ex-Con
federates had no right to vote upon this
proposition.
Mr. Ilorr shook his head.
Mr. Wolford said that he was glad he
misunderstood the gentleman. Ho had
understood him to say that as Gen.
Porter’s conduct had helped the Con
federates they were interested, and had
no right to vote,
Mr. Horr explained that he had argued
that good faith should prevent them from
doing so.
Mr. Wolford was happy to hear that it
Avas only a lecture on faith. The gentle,
man had assumed that ex-Confederates
were interested, and had argued that self
respect should prevent them front taking
part in this debate. The gentleman would
have had more respect for ex-Confeder
ates if, iike himself, they had been in
front, and he would not, haye attempted
to scare them upon the question of faith.
He regretteu ‘■hut iu this Congress a gen
tleman had expressed sucli sentiments.
He had thought that ex-Confederates
were hero a; members of the American
Congress, with the right and duty to vote
on every question. He hoped that no utuf}
who had served in the Confederate army
had got so mad over the tight that after
20 years he oould not do an act
of justice to a man who had fought against
him. He hoped that no man would got
up and say, “I can't vote on this bill. I
am interested, {am still mad.’" lie un
derstood that his Confederate friends were
here loving the flag, and loving the point;
try; that they were here saying to-day and
forever that thev had left behind them
the bitter feelings engendered by war, and
everything that divided the country. Were
men forever t£ stand and quarrel over old
issues ? Let Congress forward and
say that it is ready to do justice to a
wronged and injured man.
Mr. M>H>ksn ; of Maine, inquired wheth
er he was to understand that the gentle
man asked the members to vote tor the
relief of General Porter as an act of con
ciliation to his Confederate friends t If it
was asked on that ground he would vote
for his relief.
Mr, 'Wolford replied that he asked it on
the highest grounds ever presented, He
demanded it only as an act of Justice, and
he proposed to demonstrate that it was an
act of justice to a long injured man. [Ap
plause on the Democratic side.]
Mr. Wolford passed on to a review of
the ease, and was trequently applauded
by members who collected around him
ill the centre aisle, but his remarks at
‘Ones >vere so low as to be inaudible.
Mr. Calkins, cf Indiana, began his ar
gument in opposition to the bill by a state
ment that he knew that there was no
doubt aliout its passage
William Walter Phelps, of New Jersey,
the Republican who represents the dis
trict in which Gen. Porter lives, spoke at
lengthln favor ot the bill. Speaking for
the one most interested, he expressed bis
regret that any unkind allusions to the
dead or to the living had been made in the
course of this discussion. Iu the long pur
suit of justice Gen. Porter himself had
never made any imputation on those who
impeded him in the pursuit, and he must
not be held responsible for any unkind al
lusions which had been made on this
floor, either by those friendly to the bill or
those w ho were opposed to it. Let all those
allusions be eliminated lrom the debate and
let the case stand upon its own merits.
He spoke for Gen. Porter because he was
his constituent and because it Avas his
duty. It was also his pleasure and his
pride, because he believed Ge#. Porter to
beau honest man and a loyal soldier.
The mills of the gods grind'slowly. It
was twenty-one years ago Monday of last
week since the last signature was put

which drove him out of the army and
made him a leper whom his own govern
ment could not touch with an office of
profit or trust. This verdict awarded
him such infamy that for a time Iscariot
aud Arnold were his only competitors.
Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, protested
against the passage of the bill, and denied
that it was the unanimous desire of the
men who fought under Gen. Porter to
have him reinstated to the army.
Then a number of short speeches were
made, all but two being in opposition to
the bill, the exceptions being Mr. Laird,
of Nebraska, who served under Gen. Por
ter, and made an eloquent appeal for bis
old commander, and Mr. Henley, of Cal
ifornia, who criticised the action of Mr.
Cutcheon, of Michigan, in casting impu
tations upon Gen. Grant and then strik
ing them out of the record.
In reply Mr. Cutcheon expressed his
high appreciation for the high military
ability of Gen. Grant, but being pressed
bv Mr. Henley with the question: “Why
did you strike out your remarks?” was
compelled to admit that he left them out
because he wanted to, an admission which
caused much merriment.
Mr. Steele, of Indiana, moved to strike
out the name of Fitz John Porter and in
sert that of Warb B. Burnett. The mo
tion was rejected.
Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, offered a sub
stitute providing for the convening of a
new court martial to review the case.
His motion was also lost.
Mr. Converse, of Ohio, offered an
amendment making Fitz John Por
ter’s retirement compulsory. This was
agreed to in committee, but this action
was subsequently reversed by the House.
Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment striking out the words, “ap
pointment under it,” and inserting “pass
age of this act.” It was agreed to.
The committee then rose and the bill
was ordered engrossed and read the third
time.
Mr. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, then took
the floor to close the debate in favor of
the bill. He know Fitz John Porter well,
aud in the beginning of the war that Gen
eral was the most enlightened and ardent
advocate of military discipline. The re
cord would show one significant fact,
coining not so much from the living
as from the graves of the
dead. The first citizens who asked
tor the redress of his wrongs were Horace
Greeley, Henry Wilson and himself. Cer
tainly the fidelity of those persons to the
L nion could not be questioned. General
Porter had never approached him to ask
him to be his advocate. He was pained
to hear the distinguished member of the
House (Mr. Keit'er) over and over again
say that Gen. Porter was a coward. Before
Gotl, he never knew a Porter who was a
fool or coward. [Applause.] He had
never before come across a man who had
the temerity to say that General Porter
was a coward, and he never
would hear it again. He gave an
interesting history of the movements
of the army of the Potomac in the begin
ning of the war, and nearly every mem
ber iu the house stood in a circle around
him and frequently applauded his re
marks. lie dwelt upon the services ren
dered to his country by Fitz John Porter,
and ridiculed Gen. Pope’s proclamation,
which he declared rattled and glittered
with generalities. If Gen. Porter had
violated his orders, if he had treated his
superior officer with disrespect or con
tempt, it was the duty of that superior to
have taken away his ensign of rank im
mediately and put him under arrest. Re
ferring to the fact that Mr. Cutcheon, ot
Michigan, had eliminated Irom
the record his imputation upon
Gen. Grant, he congratulated that gentle
man upon the good taste which he had
exhibited, and that between the time of
the delivery of the speech and the publi
cation of it he had time to repent. He
criticised the speech of Mr. Horr, of
Michigan, for its expression of opinion
that no ex-Confederates should vote upon
this bill, and took it for granted that men
who, in error, but in the belief that they
were right, had fought in a great war.
wore better men than quartermasters,
paymasters, sutlers and contractors.
I Laughter.] In a brilliant peroration,
which was warmly applauded, he appeal
ed to the House to do justice to the wrong
ed man, and at the conclusion of his
speech he was heartily congratulated by
his party friends. The bill was then pass*-
ed by 184 yeas to 78 nays. The following

LANIER’S SWINDLES.
Washington, Feb. l.—Detailed re
ports are coming into the Post Office De

Postmasters bj 7 Post Office Inspector B.
11. Lanier, who was removed from office
yesterday. The office at Mobile was de
frauded to the amount of $270, Jackson

cola SIOO, Houston, Texas, $125, Atlanta
$l5O, New Orleans $l5O, Selma, Ala., SIOO.
Other points not yet heard from that
Lanier is known to have visited are ex
pected to swell these figures considerably.
He also bolds $l7O belonging to money
order funds. Different plans were
pursued by Lanier in obtaining
money from Postmasters, but his
favorite scheme was to appear
before a Postmaster, present his creden
tials and ask for a loan from the postal
funds to aid him in an attempt to arrest
criminals. It is said at the department
that the Postmasters must lose the money,
as they were not authorized to expend the
postal funds in the manner above de
scribed. A dispatch received last evening
from New Orleans stated that Lanier had
fled to South America.
CARLISLE THE MAN.
The Kentucky Caucus Bound to Have
Him Despite His Refusal.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. I.—At the be
ginning of the caucus several efforts were
made to drop the lowest candidate after
each ballot, but all were voted down. Mr.
Hallam appealed to Mr. Harcourt to
withdraw Mr. Carlisle’s name, but Mr.
Harcourt refused, Mr. Dobbins was an
original Carlisle man, but felt that he
reflected the wishes of that gentleman in
saying that he could uot be a candidate.
But for the magnanimity of Gov. Black
burn Mr. Carlisle could not have been
Speaker, and it was just that Mr. Carlisle
should not lie projected in this fight. Mr.
Hallam followed with similar remarks,
saying that Mr. Carlisle could not be a
contestant for this office, and could not
accept unless it came to him without his
seeking. To give the members time for
reflection, be moved an adjournment,
which was carried by a vote of 68 to 50,
There is a strong feeling that this action
points to the nomination of Carlisle to
night.
Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 1, 11 p. m.—lt
was expected that the caucus would nom
inate a Senator to-night. Sweeny with
drew from the race early in the day, and
rumors of the probable nominee were
many. It looked as if Carlisle would be
nominated. For some reason, however,
when the caucus met it was agreed to ad
journ until Monday night, when a nomi
nation will surely be made.
COCK FIGHTERS SURPRISED.
Sixty Policemen make Ninety-Five Ar

Philadelphia, Feb. l.—a cocking
main at q hotel in the new hunting park
in the northeastern part of this city was
erected at midnight, but was surprised
last night by a force of 6ixty picked po
licemen. The late hour chosen for the
fighting was supposed to guarantee the
sporting men against interference, and
the smart surprise caused a scene of wild
confusion. As most of the policemen
seized two men each they succeeded
in arresting ninety-five of those assembled
around the pit, the prisoners being men of
all grades in life. A search through the
yard resulted in the capture of twenty
teams, some of them being well appoint
ed drags. The police also gathered up

County Burglar After a Long Term.
Atlanta, Feb. l. —The Governor has
pardoned George Williams, colored, of
Chatham county, convicted ot burglary in

he held on until help came. In view of
this and good conduct Hon. James M.
Smith, of Oglethorpe, at whose convict
camp Williams has served his sentence,

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Secretary Chandler Rejects Nominations
Made by the Commission.
IV AsniNGTON, Feb. I.—A lew days ago
Secretary Chandler made a requisition
upon the Civil Service Commission for
nominations for a vacancy in the clerical
iorce o( his department, and in response
to his application the commission certi
fied to him the names of four persons from
which to make his selection. This after
noon Secretary Chandler returned to the
Commissioners the nominations sent
him, accompanied by a note, in
which he stated that, having
carefully inspected the examination pa
pers of the lour persons whose names
had been certified to him, he had reached
the conclusion that none of the candidates
had, upon examination, shown sufficient
intelligence to give promise of filling the
vacancy in his department acceptably.
I his action of the Secretary raises an in
teresting question. It has not yet been
considered by the Commissioners, as thev
received the Secretary’s communication
to-day to ° i* te 0r ac tion. Commissioner
I bornan said to-night that the persons
whose names were certified to the Secre
tary of the Navy had passed a fair
examination belore the commission,
and that in certifying them all
the provisions ot the law and civil
t e ?K ICe i. rule ®, had , , bee " filll y complied
with. He said: “I do not feel authorized
to speak for the Commissioners, but my
judgment is that no other certification of
hames w ill be made totbe Secretary of the
Xayy under thm requisition, the persons
certify ing having reached the grade re
quired by the seventh rule upon the sub
ject on which they were examined,” The
rule to which he referred provides that 65
per centum of complete proficiency in the
subjects covered by the examination shall
be deemed adequate, and the persons nomi
nated to Secretary Chandler, Mr.Thoman
said,had reached a higher general average
than 65 per cent, in their examinations,
lie pointed out that the second section of
the civil service act provides for the ap
portionment of appointments among the
States, feriTtories and District of Colum
bia, and quoted the 16th rule of the civil
service rules which is based upon the
second section of the act, and which pro
vides for certification to the appointing
officer of four names to be taken from
~o B. ?jtfJded highest on the register ol
eligibles, regard being bad to the ap
portionment of appointments to the
States and Territories, and which
further provides that “frqm said four a
selection shall be made for the vacancy.’ 7
I his last clause of the rules determines
the settlement of this new question In Mr.
lhoman’s opinion, and he thinks that the
force of the Secretary's objection to the
appointment of any one of the persons
named is taken away when rule 17 of the
civil service rules is considered. This
rule provides that the original appoint
ments shall be probationary, and thus
leaves the Secretary’s authority to dis
miss for inconipetency at any time within
six months any person selected bv him
and afterwards found to be incompetent.
LOUISIANA DEFAULTS.
The Interest on the 3 Per Cent. “Baby
Bonds” not Paid.
Nuw Orleans, Feb. 1,-.The State to
day defaulted in the payment of the inter
est due on the 3 per cent, bonds known as
the baby bonds.” It would require
about SIB,OOO to pay the coupons due to
day on the bonds, most ot which are held
here. The fiscal agent explains that, ow
ing to the late decision of the Supreme
Court making the bonds not only receiva
ble for property sold for back taxes, but
also for costs and penalties and inter
est, little cash is being received
to the credit of this fund. While the set
tiements of the Tax Collectors with the
Auditor and Treasurer during the pres
ent week have amounted to over $30,000
only $72 was received for the interest on
“the baby bonds.” Therefore the State
National Bank, the fiscal agency, now
having over $40,000 in unredeemed cou
pons of “baby” bonds, did not feel justi
fied in cashing any more coupons of these

Cairo, Feb. I.—Advices from Sinkat

GENERAL HANCOCK AT HOME.
Hi* Arrival at Governor’s Island After
a Pleasant Transcontinental Trip.
Gen. W. S. Hancock arrived at his
home on Governor’s Island on Wednesday,
says the New York Herald, from his two
months’ Western tour, and was warmly
welcomed by the officers of his command.
The General started West on December
a two months leave of ab
,s . and been recommended by his
take a trip for the
th# pl^fi ß health, and he chose a run
9 jhe Pacific coast. He was accompa
med by h's family. The duties ol hU com
mand tvere assumed by Gen. Sheridan.
ely U , pon I,U re turn to his
home Gen. Hancock communicated with
the War Department.
Gen. Hancock looked well. He said:
* A awa y for the benefit ofinv health,
and the trip has been a success. 1 bone
now to keep my usual good health. It is
not the first time I have made the trip,
but the last time I saw things from anew
standpoint. One thing which struck me
was the opportunities which the West
affords for Americans who are bound on
just snch errands as this one of mine. Eu
rope is not a bit nearer Heaven than the
Pacific coast, and people who have leis
ure for travel can hud everything they
need in the United States, '
“1 came back along the Southern Pacific
Railroad,” continued Gen. Hancock, “and
I was impressed with its value as a fron
tier line. It is really our line of defense
ngainst Mexico, and it is this line we
would detend in place of the winding Rio
Grande. This road enables us to mass
our troops now and send them hurriedly
from place to place, instead of having so
many detached garrisons. Things have
changed wonderfully in that section with
in my own recollection.”
“What of the alleged political siguiti
cance of your trip?” asked the reporter.
•It had none. At many points in my
trip 1 was talked to by the newspaper
men and gave my impressions of local
matters; but beinginjthe army, 1 observed
the rule which I have long held to, of not
expressing my views on politics. I was
frequently asked concerning the Presi
dency, the Speakership and the tariff, but
did not break my rule.”
General Hancock spoke warmly of the
many receptions and manifestations of
regard which he had received from the
citizens of the West and of the luxuries
or travel from one seaboard to the other.
He was called upon during the dav bv
many friends from this eity, while Mrs.
Hancock was visited by the ladies of the
officers’ families stationed at the post.
By to-day the General expects to be once
more in command and carrying out the
duties of his position.
TEXAS LEGISLATIVE AMENITIES
A Bellicose Editor Throws Down the
Gauntlet in the Lower House.
During a discussion in the House of
Representatives here to-day, says an Aus
tin dispatch of the 30th ult., on the bill
prescribing punishment for fence cutting
and other lawlessness now agitating
Texas, an exciting war of words took
place between R. R. Hazelwood, of Delta
county, and L. L. Foster, of Limestone
county, proprietor of the Limestone Neu>
Era. The dispute arose out of Hazel
wood having stated at the moment of ad
journment last night that Foster took
such apart in behalf of the lawless ele
ment that his photograph should be
affixed to every measure enacted bv the
present Legislature. The words ‘were
spoken in an incisive tone, and as earlv
as the business permitted this forenoon
Foster rose to.a question of privilege.
THE CASUS BELLI.
In the course of his remarks he said
that the only measure which Hazelwood
desired to have his photograph attached
to was the shotgun policy, which was in
troduced a few days "previous in the
House, but which his (Hazelwood’s) in
fluence withered like the wild sirocco’s
blast, and so effectually killed it that it'
never would rise again in Texas.
This brought Hazelwood to his feet, who
accused Foster of absorbing the public
pap, of pandering to the fence cutters, of
resisting Gov. Ireland’s wise measures to
suppress crime, and opposing every good
and just bill introduced in “the Legisla
ture.
FOSTER STRIKES BACK.
Foster warmly denied the tmth of all
the charges, and said that neither sneers
nor the personalities of Hazelwood would
thwart him from the sworn duty his con
stituents sent him to discharge. lie
charged Hazelwood with wasting public
time in personalities, and said that if any
word or act of his (Foster) hurt or dis
pleased, he would meet Hazelwood at anv
time or place outside of the House and
make himself responsible for what he had
said and done.
This declaration crealed some excite
ment, and the challenge is now the topic
of general conversation. Hazelwood did
not attend the afternoon session and was
excused on the plea of sickness. The
outlook for a personal encounter between
the two men is being widely discussed.
THE COLUMBUS WRECK.
Twelve Children Thtftight to be Among
the Lost More Property Surren
tiered.
The State detectives returned from Gay
Head on the 30th ult., says a New Bedford
special, and reported that they had been
very successful in their search for per
sonal property belonging to yie passen
gers and crew of the City of Columbus.
The property will be taken to Boston.
The result of the second search is verv
satisfactory.
Clarence’ Cleveland gave up a barrel
containing quilts and clothing belonging
to Prof. I. C. Chase, of Atlanta, Ga. The
most valuable discovery made bv the offi
cers was a box containing several costly
sets of jewelry belonging to the relatives
of Col. Rand.
It is now believed that at least twelve
small ehildren, whose names were not on
the passenger list, were lost. Evidence of
this statement is daily coming to light.
A PATHETIC incident.
No more pathetic storv has come from
the scene of the wreck o'f the City of Co
lumbus than that told bv Mr. Tibbits of
the wife who begged her husband to save
bimseif if he could, as there was no
chance for them both, so that he might
care for their four children. It was "an
instance of rare heroism, in which the
love of the wife and the mother overcame
all love of life, and all mere animal cling
ing to life, which is stronger usually than
the intelligent desire to live. So, in the
wild rush of the panic-stricken people, at
a time when calm decision is a quality
most rare, she weighed the chances and
saw that life for her husband meant a
happier life for her children than if she
were saved. But stern fate had no pity
on her devotion and heroism. The waves
swept her off the vessel and swallowed
her up, and he, after enduring the agonies
of cold and exertion in the rigging, also
went down to join her in her ocean grave.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
The Burnt Portion of Marianna Being
Rapidly Rebuilt—Delayed Mails.
Correspondence of Me Morning If exes.
Marianna, Fla., Jan. 31.— Particulars
have just reached me of a horrible crime,
committed by a negro named Martin Rob
erts, living near Haywood's Landing, in
this county. His little two year old child
died suddenly, and was buried about a
week since. The child’s mother, fearing
that the child came to its death by vio
lence, made a complaint, and the body
was disinterred. An examination re
vealed the fact that her tears were not
without foundation, for th“ ody bore un
mistakable signs of violence, and a fur
ther examination established the fact that
the child was beaten to death, and that,
too, by its inhuman father. A party im
mediately began search for Roberts, but
were too late, as he learned that his crims
was discovered, and fled the country. He
is about 23 or 24 years of age, and of a
sullen disposition, easily aroused to anger,
and bad no feelings save those of a brute.
The burned portion of our town is now
being rebuilt. Five brick stores are in
process of construction, the foundation
having been to-day laid. This will still
leave vacant space for four more stores,
which are not likely to be commenced this
year, as no contract has yet been made
for their erection.
There is great scarcity of labor in our
county. Numbers of negroes have de
parted for South Florida to work upon
railroads there being built. Some of our
largest farmers, who have heretofore com
manded as much labor as they needed,
find it exeedingly difficult to hire negroes
this year, and consequently are planting
less.
What is the matter with our mails from
Savannah? It is often two and three days
old when it reaches us, and trequently
