SAVANNAH MAKiiKT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS, j
Savannah. Ga.. Feb. 9. 1884. 5 p. m.(
lottos.—There was an easier feeling in the
market, anti prices declined 1-lfio. all round
at the closing. The offerings continue light,
but are apparently beyond the requirements
of buyers, and business was slow in conse
quence. Holders are still inclined to full val
ues, but are not sustained very well by out
-ide advices and exporters’ wants, which are
for the necessary requirements of the moment.
The total of to-day’s transactions was only
moderate—being but 1,102 bales. The official
record of the day’s business at the Exchange
was as follows: The market opened quiet
and unchanged, with a sale of only 1 hale. At
1 p. in. it was easy, the sales being ICC hales.
It closed at 4 p. m. quiet, all grades being
marked down 1- 16c., with further sales of 93
hales. Itelow will be found the official closing
quotations of the Cotton Exchange:

The speculation on the Stock Exchange
was characterized by strength, and buyers
exhibited more confidence than for some time
past. The advance in prices was almost un
interrupted from the opening until the closing
and extended from !--/(52% per cent. The re
actions, which occurred at Intervals, ivere
only fractional, and served to bring in fresh
buying orders. The features of the market
were Lackawanna, ltoek Island, Northwest,
St. I’aul. Lake Shore, New York Central, and
Pacific Mail. The advance in Grangers, New
York Central and Lake Shore was due to Van
derbilt purchases on an amicable adjust
ment of tlie Trunk line matters. Rock Island
moved up on tlie talk of a contest for the
Presidency. Pacific Mail was in brisk de
mand on talk of a dividend .u April next, and
on the announcement that the Senate Com
merce Committee at Washington had
unanimously reported the Dill in favor of
giving mail pav to all American steamships
sailing to foreign ports. Northwest advanced
7 s per cent., do. preferred I per cent.. Rock
Island 2%. Lackawanna 1%. Lake Shore 1%,
New York Central 1%, Pacific Mail 1%,
Omaha preferred %, and YV abash preferred
1%. In tin- afternoon Wabash preferred ran
off t-> 28 and Northern Pacific preferred to 46%,
but the decline was otherwise slight. In the
final transactions a fresh buying movement
sat in. and many shares advanced to the
highest price of tlie week. Speculation left oil
strong and on the advance. Compared with
last night’s closing, prices were %@2% per
cent, higher, except Northern Pacific, which
was %($% per cent, lower. In specialties, C.,

For the Mornina yew*.
Reflections Suggested by Visits to tlie
Cemetery at St. Mary’s, tia.
“All that have died, the earth’s whole race,
repose,
YY’lien death collects his treasures, heap on
heap;
O’er each one’s busy day the nightshades
close;
Its actors, suSfc rers > schools, kings, armies—
sleep.”
It is well to occasionally withdraw from
the busy scene# and excitements of life
and spend some moments in re
flection over the graves of those
who precede us to the “land of
the hereafter,” for, at best, our lives, al
ternating rapidly between shade and sun
shine, joy and sorrow, must soon pass
from “the infantile” to the eternal state of
being. Here amid the stained stones, the
little hills and “grassy” graves and beau
tiful tombstones marking the resting
places of those who repose below; here,
under the shade of the majestic trees
draped with flowing moss and entwined
with the grape vine; here where the mock
ing bird sings gayly all the day, and the
whippoorwill breaks the silence of mid
night stillness in doleful sounds, can one
calmly contemplate death.
“YY’hen life is opening buds are sweet,
Au'l golden hopes the spirit greet,
And youth prepares his joys to meet,
Alas! liow hard it is to die!
“YVlien, scarce is seized some valued prize,
And duties press, and tender ties
Forbid tlie soul from earth to rise,
How awful then it is to die!
“YY’hen faith is strong and conscience clear,
And words of peace the spirit cheer,
And visioned glories half appear,
'Tis joy! ’tis triumph! then to die.”
We are all moving forward on “the
rapid wings of time to the silent halls of
death.” None are exempt; none can es
cape; the beautiful, the fashionable and
the gay; the mother, the iniant, the sire,
the son, the husband, the wife, the king,
the peasant, the rich, the poor, the aged,
the young, the good, the bad, tbe wise, the
unwise, the noble, tbe ignoble, the proud,
the humble, tbe landsman, the seaman,
the saint, the sinner, the pastor, the
flock, the Jew, the Greek, the pagan, the
Christian, the Northman and the South
man, the victor, the vanquished, the for
giving, the unforgiving, must pass from
the visible to the invisible.
‘•Dust thou art, to dust rcturncth,
Was not spoken of the soul.”
What will it matter after death whether
poets sing of us, or our epitaphs be ftutter
ingly written on beautiful marble with
letters of gold, or whether thorns and
briers grew above us, or flowers are
planted by the hands of love to bud and to
bloom, for as the tree “falieth so shall it
be.”
W'hen the little babe—the only babe—
the idol of the household, dies—when it
falls and fades as a flower—we miss it, it
is said ! It is painful, but the thought
that it goes to glitter in a Redeemer’s
crown is consoling. When the maiden,
just blooming into womanhood, dies, we
are sorrowful. We go about mourning the
loss of beauty and of wit, and
drop a tear over her grave and dress it
with fresh, blooming flowers and sigh and
pass on; but when the maiden becomes a
wife, or a wife and mother, and the ‘’chill
ing hand of death” is laid on that anxious
brow, “many and bitter are the tears that
fall” as we linger to take the farewell
glance at the form we loved so well. How
hard! how sadl to give the last farewell.
J. M. A.
A Story of Sumner and Greeley.
Every Oilier Saturday.
Charles Sumner, many years before be
was known in politics, sought the ac
quaintance of Horace Greeley in New
York. He found the journalist much en
gaged, and was invited by him to come to
his house the next morning and take
breakfast. Mr. Sumner was not an early
riser, and he liked a good breakfast when
he did get up. He rather anticipated one
in this case. At the early hour named by
Mr. Greeley he left the Astor House, took
a staare, and rode several miles up Broad
way, and after much difficulty found the
residence of his new friend at an old
fashioned farmhouse, situated in the mid
dle of an orchard, between Broadway and
the river, w here he was hospitably re
ceived by the occupant. After consider
able conversation with Mr. Greeley the
latter remarked to his w ife, who had come
into the room, that Mr. Sumner would
probably like something to eat.' She ex
pressed’a doubt whether there was any
thing in the house, at w hich Sumner, who i
was really hungry after his lng ride, was
somewhat—well, surprised, to say the
least. “Why, mother,” said Greeley to ,
his w ife, “you must have some milk, some j
bread and milk in the house,” She thought j
that it might be so, and soon appeared j
with a mug,two bowls and some crackers,
which she placed on a bare pine table,
and tbe two incipient philanthropists ate -
their breakfast in peace. Anybodv who
knows Sumner and his dainty ways in
these things can appreciate the situation.
No doubt it w as the first and last time he
ever did justice to bread and milk. The
friend to whom Sumner related this in
cident had a feeling, which time rather
strengthened, that the older philosopher
was practicing a grim joke on the gay imd
somew hat festive young man from Bos
ton. Sumner, however, never could ap
preciate a joke, and considered the trans
action a real one so far as good faith was
concerned, although he related it with
considerable glee. Perhaps he had in his
heart something of the feeling o£ Thacke
ray, who once said to a friend iu \loston:
“I often wish I knew whether Becky
Sharp w as really guilty when found by her
husband with the Marquis of ftteyne under
such remarkable circumstances.”
Mr. I. B. Battle, Wadley, Ga., says:
“Brow’n’s Irou Bitters cured me of poor
appetite, general debility and sleepless
ness,”

pistols have not been resorted to as a
means of healing wounded honor. YVith
our “teas” and “luncheons” and “theatre
parties” and “leap year balls,” not to
speak of dudes, dudesses, snobs, and liv
eries, we had got our social elements
badly mixed, and “paste” and “real dia
monds” mingled gracefully together. But
suddenly a reform is demanded, and the
work of separation will be lively and
amusing.
Georgians have a way of pushing them
selves into new States, Territories and
countries, and generally with good re
sults. The architect and builder of the
new Baptist Church edifice in Monterev,
Mexico, is J. J. M. Smith, a native o f
Georgia and a skilled mechanic.
Army officers are looking to the “Sunny
South” for homes in which to spend their
declining years. Quite a number have
located winter homes in Virginia, North’
Carolina, South Carolina and Florida,
while a few are coming to Georgia. Gen.
John M. Bran nan, U. S. A., has a delight
ful home at Marietta, and Gen. John It.
Lewis, U. S. A., has a residence on
Peachtree street, in this city, and others
will follow’ their example.
Mrs. Senator Colquitt is again at her
delightful suburban home at Edgewood.
Governor and Mrs. McDaniel were vot
at the leap year ball last night, as re
ported. They are not ball people.
The Governor w - as on his way last night
to Dade coal mine, and although that is
a model convict camp, 1 would not be
surprised if his quick eye should detect
something needing reform.
Tape lines are" numerous to-day on all
the streets in the heart of the city, as they
are being measured preparatory to the
letting of Contracts to pave or macada
mize them. Within twelve months we
hope to have several miles more of first
class streets.
This has been one of our worst days at
the Whitehall street crossing, and even,
the indifferent city fathers have been im
pressed with the importance of a foot
bridge over the railroad track. No man
can make an appointment on the other
side with any certainty of meeting it.
It is hinted that the following para
graph from Judge E. 11. Pottle’s decision
iti the Augusta public school tax case,
would hardly pass muster in the lowest
grade public school grammar class:
“Whether is is wise or not to put all
alike, without regard to sex, religion or
color, under the wing of the State", to re
ceive a free and general education, as
both constitutions have done, are matters
for the people to decide.”
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
is just now - having a busy time, as its
meetings are almost daily and full of
lively discussions. The last matter,
which is still pending, is the Central
Railroad’s request to so arrange the C.
D. F. rates to local points as to give such
points same proportionate rates from At
lanta as from distant cities. Yesterday
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
joined in a similar request for their road,
and Athens was represented by several
leading merchants and millers. The com
mission appears to be in no hurry, but is
keeping the matter open for further dis
cussion.
There are, no doubt, rascals at the
North and West in the commission busi
ness, as human nature is the same the
world over, but our truck farmers err In
thinking that their only safety is iq send
ing to Southern men in those sections.
The handling of perishable articles is a
Tisky business, and no man iii Georgia
can understand the condition of his con
signment when it reaches New York, or
the difficulties that surround its speedv
and profitable sale. W'hy, a Southwest
ern Georgia man spent the season YVest
and came home with only $1 25 in his
pocket, the profits of his entire season as
a commission merchant for Georgia ship
pers, and he saved that simply by “hard
work and economical living,”"
I am glad to see that a Southern man
has started a movement that promises to
contribute financially as well as profes
sionally to the relief ofßrof. F. N. Crouch,
of Baltimore, the venerable author of
“Kathleen Mavourneeu” and other popu
lar songs. Mr. George DeSaussure New
hall, formerly of South Carolina, but now
of Cincinnati, Ohio, announces that the
music publishing company,of which he is
the head, will issue the songs ol Prof.
Crouch in handsome style, and also
new productions from his still active
fancy. Mr. Arthur Ilarvin, of Oakland, S.
C., will furnish the words and Prof.
Crouch the music tor the new songs, the
first of which, “Love’s Ilitornella,” a beau
tiful tribute from Mr. Ilarvin to his be
loved mother, is already before the pub
lic. Prof. Crouch during the late war i
wore the “gray,” and on this account he
has, in his feeble old age, a peculiar claim j
upon the South, and the efforts of Messrs, ,
Newhall and Ilarvin, so timely and patri
otic, ought to meet with a full and gen- j
eral support. The greater their success
with these proposed publications, the
larger the amount of profits to be handed
over to tne old composer to comfort him
in his decliniu” years.
THE IMPRESSION SEEMS TO IIS GAINING
GROUND
that the proposed new caoito! will cost
two or three times the amount appro
priated for its erection. And yet the act
authorizing: the enterprise provides that
no plan shall be adopted until ‘‘it shall be
definitely ascertained that the entire cost
of the same will in no event exceed the
sum of $1,000,090, it being understood that
it is the object of this act to restrict the
aggregate and entire cost of the capitol
building to this sum.” The Commission
ers are enjoined to make all their con
tracts and regulate their expenditures so
that “the cost of the building, w r hen com
pleted, shall not exceed this amount.” I
have put the important words in italics,
and they clearly show the intention of the
General Assembly. Under no circum
stances could the bill have been passed
without these striusrent restrictions. It
is the opinion of skilled architects and
builders that one million dollars will erect
as good and commodious a capitol as
Georgia will need for at least twenty
years. At the end of that time, if the
building is erected with that idea in view,
additions can be pat to the building to
meet all increasing demauds for more
room.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of Florida in tbe case of the new
railroad to Tampa, which requires pay
ment to be made to owners of land for
right of way before entering upon the said
strip of land to grade and lay track, is
only a little more severe than the late de
cision of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
in the ease of the Georgia Pacific Rail
road, I think, which makes it obligatory
upon the railroads, under the
new constitution of the State,
to compensate owners of
lands desired for right of way before en
tering upon the same. Under this decision
all contests and differences must be settled
by railroads and land owners before tbe
work of constructing a railroad can pro
ceed uninterruptedly. Of course in
stances will arise in which a “bull
headed” man, or one unfriendly to rail
roads, may retard the building of a much
desired railroad by exhausting every re
source to carry his point in regard to the
valuation of his land.
lam glad to see that the Americus
liecorder admits.( what I wrote) that the
people of that city and section “ were
largely instrumental in securing the
formation ol the Railroad Commission.”
And then frankly declare that they “have
been made to feel more than once that it
did not afford the relief they expected,
and that in many instances it resulted to
their detriment.” When Sumter’s mem
bers of the General Assembly were advo
cating the measure, I earnestly warned
them through aav letters to the Morning
Nbws, that they would find the proposed
commission a two-edged sword, and that
it would cut both w ays under their plan
of creating it. I ani not opposed to the
commission, nor do I dasire to see it
abolished.. The Commissioners are per
sonal friends whom I respect and would
continue in office; but I have never
changed my opinion—which is even
stronger now’—that thecommission should
have ao other powers than those of arbi
trators between railroads and com
pLalning patrons. Public sentiment is
strongly tending to this modification.
I REGRET THAT MANY PERSONS
have misunderstood have misunderstood
my recent paragraph about Congressman
Hanvmond and Ca+>t. Jackson's candida
cy. No man in Georgia ha& a higher re
gard for Col. Hammond, with whom I
have been on the most friendly terms for
nearly ten years, while Capt. Jackson is
simply a speaking acquaintance. I did
not seek to “boom” his candidacy, nor
did I say be would be nominated. I inti
mated that in the event that Gov. .James
8. Boynton was not in the raoo,
Capt. Jackson would win the prige, 1 s?o
no reason for changing this prediction,
although my paragraph has called forth
several columns of adverse opinions.
Gov. Boynton is a strong man In the
counties that so nobly 6tood by him in the
last convention for Governor, and Judge
John D. Stewart is also a strong man in
the same section, but if the nomination is
to be again given to Fulton county, Capt.
Harry Jackson will secure it." As to
Congressman Hammond, if my vote could
keep him in Congress he would stay there
until he died, like John Quincy Adams,
‘‘with the harness on.” But there are
several intluenccs that conspire to render
his renomination a very doubtful' event.
Of his great ability and purity of charac
ter there can l>e no question, and Georgia
could hardly till his place with a man who
would be more respected by his col
leagues. If I were advocating
any man’s claims to a nomination
I should support most heartily
those of Col. Hammond. But lam simp
ly indicating what appears to me to be
the final result of the coming canvass.
There are many distinguished gentlemen
who differ with me in this matter, and
whose opinions are entitled to thoughtful
consideration. Still, your correspondent
is willing to put himself thus early on
record as one who believes, and does so
with much regret, that they will fail to
realize their fond anticipations.

The I’lant Syndicate in Florida.
Editor Morning News: The combina
tion formed between the Plant Investment
Company and the Florida Southern Rail
way Company, w hereby the former will
now T shortly establish a through line of
railw r ay between Jacksonville and Tampa
Bay, and thus between those points aud
Savannah, seems to have created unneces
sary alarm in a few localities, ‘where,
perhaps, local and private interests are
esteemed above the general good. It is
commendable, indeed, for one to advo
cate his ow n and the local iutoposte of his
community, for that belongs to local
enterprise and thrift, which every
person is bound to consider of high im
portance; but the public good should go
before private or local interests, lest the
high destiny aimed at be cut short or
dwarfed by views and actions after the
“penny wise and pound foolish” order
too contracted for metropolitan growth
and prosperity.
If Mr. Plant had not found the way
open he would not have undertaken that
splendid enterprise, which, it seems to
the writer, promises even greater things
to Jacksonville taan to the city of Savan
nah. If the former, situated asitis, on
the most romantic and beautiful river in
the South, open to the Atlantic by deep
water, and nearly 200 miles nearer to the
peninsular products than the latter, can
not, arrest in transitu, anil turn the tide
of freights into the mouth of the St. John’s
or through the splendid harbor ot Fernan
dina, there should certainly be no com
plaint againt the Plant Company in mak
ing it possible for the people of that long
neglected region to reach the welcoming
seaport of Georgia. The truth is, that
when Mr. Plant’s sagacious eyes survey
ed the situation, lie noted at a glance that
the railroads of the peninsula were not
projected in a manner to subserve the best
interests of the State, but having secured
an east and west line along their northern
border as a sort of bulwark
against invasion from without, the Flo
ridians relied upon the iSt. John’s river for
the main peninsular transportation, and
contented themselves with a few cross
sections in the more settled parts of the
territory, with the view of confining the
trade to the limits of the State. This was
well enough for those who were to enjoy
the profits of the transportation ;f it could
be carried out; but if the policy was too
narrow' aud failed on that account, there
should be no cause for alarm when a for
eign company comes to the rescue, and,
without asking a dollar of the citizens,
places them in open communication W'ith
the rest of the world.
Floridians are justly proud of the great
advance made by their State within the
past few years, and yet they found it al
most impossible to enter upon that for
ward movement until they receded, though
but a single step, from their policy of ex
cluding foreign railroad companies, It
will hardly be denied that the great
“boom” of Jacksonville and the St, John’s
country, to say nothing of other sections,
had its origin in the connection of the At
lantic and Gulf with the Jacksonville,
Pensacola and Georgia Railroad at Live
Oak. By this connection all Middle and
East Florida were at once opened up to
the outside world, and the uninterrupted
stream of passengers from that day forth
poured into the “Land of Flowers”
from all parts ot the Union, has made it
famous, not only as a land of health and
pleasure—a needed providential retreat
from the rigor ot Northern winters—but a
land of wealth whose material resources
seem as boundless as the luxurious influ
ence of its perennial sunshine. The re
sults which flowed from this connection
proved the powerful advocate of another,
and under the Plant syndicate the Jackson
ville and Wayeross Short Line sprung like
magic into existence. The great stream
of Northern travel was no longer obliged
to flow' around the distant elbow of Live
Oak toward the west in order to arrive at
the St. John’s in the east. It could now
proceed direct at less expense of time
and money, and at infinitely less wear
and tear of health aud patience. And
what has been the result of this seeond !
connection with the outside world? The
small tide set in motion by the Live Oak
branch has increased its volume to a flood
over the Waycross Short Line, and the
wild forests of the peninsula have fallen
with unprecedented rapidity in order to
give place to delightful groves of fr-ait
trees, while the breezy coves, the pictur
esque hill tops and emerald banks of
beautiful lakes, so recently obscure or
wholly unknown, are crowned with
happy homes, or adorned with magnifi
cent hotels, already famed for the splen
dor of their appointments and the poetic
romance of their surroundings. But even
these great advantages do not constitute
the chief benefit conferred upon the State
by her outside railway connections. They
open her eyes not only to her superlative
advantages as a winter and health resort
for strangers and invalids, hut also to her
unrivaled capacity as the winter garden
of the nation, the homeof the fruit-grower
and the truck farmer, which must have
remained wild and uncultivated for a
much longer period, but for the abandon
ment of the short-sighted policy first
adopted.
What intelligent Floridian would now
have these connections severed, with the
proud record of the past five years’ crops
before him ? Who can stand at either of
its chief depots, especially that of Way
cross. and witness the passage of im
mense trains almost every hour in the
twenty four thundering over the track
laden with the rich products of Florida
groves, orchards and truck farms, with
out a sense of becoming pride in the coun
try, in the industry that produced and the
great renovating, revolutionary system of
transportation which alone renders such
products valuable at so great a distance
from market? Through this means'■"ly
could the mighty developments take place
in so briet a period that have so distin
guished the last quarter, of a century of
our great nation, and it is through the
perfection of the same that our civili-sa
tion is to be raised te the loftiest e.ni
nence, and prosperity confirmed to indus
try in the ultimate minimum reduction of
the cost of transportation.
But to accomplish this grand purpose
and hasten the prosperity of the laborers
in the broad fields of industry, short Uses
must give place to log ones; wayside to
through tickets, and. transfer of cars* not
goods, must create dispatch instead of
cost; that the producer as well m the
carrier, may profit by the yields of labor.
Through lines are the inveterablo fore
runners of lower freights, as seen in the
history of all the great railway combina
tions of the country, the exceptions, if
any, necessitated temporarily by paucity
of income, op-other embarrassments to be
removed by time and prosperity. True,
some towns-and cities, ambitious of rapid
grow th ar.d distraction, will he in some
measure retarded by this concession to
the geneml good, but what is nhus lost in
handling;to,the locality, is gained in pro
duction to the public, which all right
thinking men must regard as the more
permaaeut and desirable benefit ot the
tWO. SPKCTATOIfc.

THE FRAUDS IN GEORGIA
HOW THE GOVERNMENT WAS
ROBBED.
The Evidence Before the Springer Com
mittee in the Case of Marshal Long
street—The Marshal Inefficient and
I.ax and His Deputies Generally Dis
honest.
E. B.Wiegand, Special Examiner ol the
i Department of Justice, says a Washing
| ton special, dated February 7, to the Phil
adelphia Times, was on the stand before
the Springer committee to-day. He was
examined on several cases, one of them
being that of Marshal Longstreet.
The examiners in their report say that
Marshal Longstreet is utterly inefficient,
and they further charge that his son, John
G. Longstreet, his Chief Deputy for about
two years, was wholly incompetent, and
that the United States lost thousands of
dollars through his ignorance or conniv
ance. Marshal Longstreet’s district is
one of the largest in the United States.
His force of deputies is also very large.
Like all Deputy Marshals they are paid by
fees. Examination has shown that
the Marshal lias sworn to the cor
rectness of accounts which were
false. In such matters he relied prin
cipally upon his son. To his son he sur
rendered the executive branch of the
service, and this young man was the ex
ecutive officer ot that court, the Marshal
being a mere figure-head. Not only has
the government been damaged and
brought into reproach by the mal-admiuis
tration of the Marshal’s office under
Longstreet, but the citizens of the district
have suffered severely from arbitrary
arrest. Arrests have been repeatedly
made for frivolous reasons, and tees have
been unnecessarily multiplied by the so
called special deputies, men appointed by
the Deputy Marshals without authority
of law, who gave no bonds and who had
not taken the oath of office required by
i law. It is also show’ll by the examiner’s
| report that in civil cases individuals
! having litigation in the United States
I Courts in this district have been charged
! extortionate, excessive and unauthorized
I fees.
SOME OF THE OPERATIONS.
It was a custom in the Marshal’s office
to have all process issued in his district
by the courts or commissioners sent to
liis office for record. He then mailed the
commissioners’ process to the deputies at
their respective homes, but caused them
to go to Atlanta to obtain the court pro
cess, for the purpose, obviously, of in
creasing the fees, for it can be plainly
seen he could as well have forwarded the
court papers by mail as the commission
ers’ papers, and had he done so the gov
ernment would have been saved the mile
age between Atlanta and the respective
points at which the deputies resided.
Deputy Marshal Garren was dismissed
and then succeeded by Deputy Marshal
Crawford, who was directed by Marshal
Longstreet to be at his post of
duty by January 1, 1882, and was
instructed -to require Mr. Garren to
turn over all the official papers in
his (Garren’s) hands. Some hours after
wards, on the very same day, Garren was
instructed by Office Deputy A. R. Wright
to return all unexecuted process to the
Marshal’s office at Atlanta, lor the sole
purpose of making unnecessary tees for
traveling. Garren lived at" Eliijay,
100 miles from Atlanta, where
Crawford was instructed to make his
headquarters. Wright told Crawtord
that he had instructed Garren to return
these papefs to Atlanta. sq that Crawtord
could charge mileage oil !‘ 1G process there
and back between Atlanta anu .. v •
While Marshal Longstreet docs not appear
to have had any personal knowledge ol
this transaction on the part of Deputy
Wright, he shows plainly how little he
knows about bis office when his orders
can be rescinded by a subordinate for a
dishonest purpose.
LONGSTREET OFTEN DECEIVED.
Marshal Longstreet is so unfamiliar
with the details of his office that lie has
been frequently deceived by his son, who
has made untrue statements to the de
partment, and has submitted emolument
returns in which false credits are claimed,
to the correctness of which the Marshal
made oath. John G. Longstreet is report
ed by many responsible persons to be an
exceedingly unpleasant man to transact
business with. He is addicted to the ex
cessive use of intoxicating liquors, and
has frequently gone on sprees for weeks
at a time, thereby neglecting bis official
duties, lie has also presented a false ex
pense account for transporting a United
States prisoner from Savannah, Ga., to
the Auburn, N. Y., penitentiary. His re
moval was recommended by the examin
ers of the department, and the Marshal
sufiere-d him to resign.
In another case Deputy E. T. Clark
alsoprescnted a false account. This man
is now 7 a clerk in the post office at Macon,
Georgia, a place for which lie is unfit.
Henry Cohen, a merchant, of Gainesville,
and a particular friend of Marshal Long
street, who resides at Marshal Long
street’s home, also presented a false act
ual expense account. In a large num
ber of the accounts rendered by Marshal
Longstreet the service was performed and
expense incurred by men employed by
the day or month by the regular appointed
deputies. These sub-deputies had not
taken the oath of office and their employ
ment was unauthorized by law.
ANOTHER KINO OF FRAUD.
The examiners found that in some civil
writs a charge for mileage for returning a
writ is made. This charge is wholly
illegal and unauthorized, and is never
made by a Marshal in a United States
case. This fact is a matter of record, and
can be verified ly the taxation of bills of
costs in the United States courts at Sa
vannah.
In examining the accounts it was posi
tively ascertained that services were
charged for which had never been per
formed, travel charged for which had
never been made, transportation of
prisoners charged for when no prisoners
had been transported, and charges made
for expenses in endeavoring to arrest
when none were incurred or paid. In some
instances such lalse charges were made
because the deputies received no instruc
tions from the Marshal’s office. The ser
vice charged for was performed by late
Deputies Robinson aud A. J. Crawfard
and show a willful intent to defraud.
Robinson is now serving out his term in
the penitentiary. Crawford is a fugitive
from justice, having been permitted to
escape from It. D. Bolton, another of Long
street’s deputies. Immediately upon as
certaining this fact Examiner Bowman,
who was present, called on Marshal Long
street and requested the removal of the
deputy who had permitted the escape, on
the ground of negligence of official duty.
Marshal Longstreet complied with the re
quest, but said he did not think he de
served removal.
THE ROBIKSOSL CASE.
lii the case of Deputy I. M. Robinson,
recently convicted and'sent to the peni
tentiary, it is shown after his arrest and
preliminary examination for presenting
lraudulent'accounts he was reinstated.in
the service by Marshal Longstreet, who
permitted him to serve process and pre
sent accounts against the government.
The sympathy manifested for Robinseu at
the Marshal’s office was a matter of no
toriety in the district. It has been
charged that Marshal Longstreet and ex-
Marshal Fitzsimons were so deeply in
terested in the defense ot Robinson* that
they became responsible to one of the at
torneys for a part of.the counsel foes. It
is shown that items were charged, in the
accounts of every one ot Marshal Long
street’s deputies w’aieh were either lalse
or unauthorized.
The frequent escape of prisoners in the
district is a matter of much comment.
Attention has already been called to the
escape of Craw bird, but one of the most,
outrageous derelictions of duty that hi vs
for some time been reported is the escape
ot James Findley, a moonshiner, from the
United States Court room ail Atlanta,Ga.,
while iu the custody of throe deputies an
der the charge of young Longstreet.
YOUXi LONGSTKFST’S WORK
It was shown bey end question that
young Losgstreet was warned these men
were armed, but in a very insulting man
ner told those who caßed'his attention to
the fact that the prisoners were \n his cus.-
tody aud he would Jake care of them. It
is further shown that Col. Chapman, the
revenue agent, knowing tire desperate
character of those men, ar.<\ the fact that
they were armed, volunteered to go into
the room where they were confined aud
disarm them, but young Longstreet re
fused to permit it. It is also shown that
Deputy Collector Stewart went to the
Marshal’s office and begged young Long
street to use extra precautions with the
prisoners, as he hud been informed that
en route to Atlanta they had said that if
found guilty they would try to effect their
escape. Ills Honor H. K. McCay called
the special attention of Deputy Marshal
Longstreet to the fact, and Instructed him
to use extra precaution to prevent the es
cape of these prisoners.
ANOTHER ESCAPE ASSISTED.
R. F. Slomau, a jury-fixer from Atlanta,
! also escaped at another time. A bench
warrant was placed in the Marshal’s
hands for service. The Marshal gave the
warrant to R. D. Bolton to execute, but
not until after the indictment of the said
Sloman had been published in the news
papers. Bolton, on receiving the warrant
the day after it was issued, went to the
Marshal’s office and informed Chief Dep
uty Longstreet that he had located Slo
man and knew where he was. Deputy
Longstreet then required Bolton to return
the warrant to him, thus preventing the
arrest of Sloman, who is still at large.
The Post Office Inspectors, through the
Postmaster General, have complained to
the Department of Justice of the malad
ministration of this Marshal’s office,
charging young Longstreet with packing
a jury to procure the acquittal of one
Mills, charged with violation of the pos
tal laws.

feet. The small buildings now on this lot
could be made available for renting, such is
the demand for room m this neighborhood.
These two sites are valuable for business
places and can be rendered very remunera
tive, aud will prove excellent stands.
