l>r. Ham. Griffin, Mary Anderson’s

The Washington Post says: “We feel

Tin* ice gorges on the Delaware river
are larger and more numerous than has
been known for many years. In many
places the ice is cutting into the banks,
and much damage is being clone to roads

New York and New Jersey join was
broken by the ice Tuesday and the top of
it carried away. /
The fact has been developed that Hon.
Thos. P. Ochiltree told the truth techni
cally when he denied that he had been
black-balled by the Metropolitan Club of
Washington. Ilis application for mem
bership was received unfavorably by the
Board of Governors of the club and was
withdrawn by his friends. One quasi
truth can now be scored to the credit of
the distinguished Texan’s account.
In a speech in Boston Sunday, at a
meeting of the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union, ex-Gov. Dingley denied
that prohibition had proven a failure in
Maine. He said that in 500 towns in that
State liquor could not be found for sale in
over 100 of them. It has lieen twenty-six
years since the Maine liquor law was
passed, and it is claimed that it has been
a great blessing to the State, though it is
not deuied that the law is evaded in many
individual instances.
The greatest sensation Paris ha 9 had
for several months is the recent discovery
of a large lot of marked cards in one of
the most tashionable clubs—the Rue
Royale. It is thought that the swindling
has been systematically carried on for
some time by some of the members of the
club, as over a hundred thousand francs
in bank notes were found in the posses
sion of the trusted valet who had the
cards. It is probable that several duels
will grow out of the affair.
The Connecticut Ku Klux are quite
aesthetic. The citizens of Mooshup blew
up a large building with gunpowder
Tuesday, merely because it disfigured tbe
main street of the village, and the owner,
a millionaire named Aldrich, had refused
to sell or replace it with a more modern
structure. The owner will prosecute tbe
wreckers, but public sympathy is with
them, and thev can scarcely be con
victed. The attention of the outrage bu
reau is called to this case.
The Edmunds Election Bill.
Doubtless there will be an, interesting
debate in the Senate when Senator Ed
munds’ bill “to protect the constitutional
rights of citizens in relation to the elect
ive franchise, and to punish violations ot
the same,” comes up for consideration.
Mr. Edmunds thinks tbe South deals in
tissue ballots, and intimidates negro
voters. He and other Republican leaders
have an idea that the Republican party is
prevented from carrying several of
the Southern States by intimida
tion and the skillful handling
of the ballot box. The Senator’s election
bill, while general in its character, is
really aimed at the South. It is a re
markable fact that be did not think such
a bill necessary when the Republican
party was holding the Southern States in
its grasp by means of returning boards
which threw out enough of the ballots of
tbe majority, on one trumped-up pretext
or another, to give the election to the mi
nority. The stories of tissue bal
lots and intimidation do well enough
for Republican campaign material,
but even it they were true
such scheme for carrying elections do not
compare with those which have been, and
are still practiced by the Republicans.
No sane man doubts that Indiana was
carried by the Republicans in 1880 by
wholesale bribery and the importation of
voters, and that the money to accomplish
this nefarious work was either stolen out
right from the government or wrung
from government employes. There ap
pears to be no doubt that
the election frauds committed by the
Republican party in the city of Philadel
phia at every general election are so great
as to make an election almost a farce in
that city. Republican journals arc en
deavoring to create the impression that
the Edmunds bill is aimed at Democratic
frauds, and no [doubt its author lias an
idea that he is striking at that party, but
if the bill becomes a law and is strictly
enforced it will do good chiefly in check
ing Republican rascality.
Ha/.en and tlic Greely Relief Expe
dition.
Gen. Ha/.en has received a good many
hard raps for inefficiency and iucompe
teney since he has been at the head of the
Signal Service Bureau, but this last rap
which the court of inquiry, appointed to
inquire into the causes of the failure of
the Greely relief expedition and the loss
of the l’roteus, the relief steamer, gives
him is about the hardest that he has Vet
received. The conclusion reached by the
public soon after the facts were made pub
lic was about that which the court of in
quiry sent to the Senate on Wednesday.
Gen. Ilazen is an amiable, pleasant sort
of a mail, and no doubt means to do what
is l ight. The trouble with him is that he
lacks judgment. This want in his men
tal make-up crops out whenever an op
portunity presents itselt. It is
useless to say that his en
emies have placed hiiq in
a false light before the public. His ene
mies, however powerful they may be,
could not damage him to any appreciable
extent in the public estimation uuless tbe
facts were against him. In his con
troversy with Congressman Beltz
hoover last t 'engross his lack of
judgment was very conspicuous.
The court of inquiry, in its report
in this Greely relief expedition case, says
that his grave errors either led directly
or contributed largely to the failure of
the expedition. After such a finding as
this, it hardly seems possible that Gen.
Ilazen can continue at the head of the
Signal Service. There is to be another '
expedition, and that service must have a
good deal to do with it. Confidence in
Gen. Ilazen is so weakened that there
would be a general protest if lie were in
trusted with the supervision of the new
expedition. He cannot very well be ig
nored. The proper thing for him to
do would be to ask to be relieved from his
present position. It will doubtless be ad
mitted that be lias sincerely tried to build
up the Signal Service, and this section of
the country recognizes that he has done
what he could for it; but his earnestness
and sincerity do not makeup for qualities
which lie does not possess, and which are
essential to the proper administration ol
the office he holds.
A Protest Against Increasing the
Number of Naval Officers.
The bill of Mr. Oates, of Alabama,
which provides for taking into the navy
all the naval cadets who were under
graduates of the Naval Academy on Au
gust 5, 1882, does not meet the approval
of the Secretary of the Navy, and there is
uo good reason why it should. There is
no place for these cadets in the navy, and
why the government should be saddled
with the burden of providing a living for
them when there is no service for them to
perform it is not easy to see. In August,
1882, there were 59 officers to each of the 31
ships then in the service. That was about
one officer to every five seamen, and their
pay amounted to $3,825,400 a year. The
act providing that no more officers
from the Naval Academy should
be received into the serv ice than were
necessary to till vacancies was wise. It
would be foolish to set it aside now be
cause a lot of young men want to get into
the navy. They claim that because they
were educated for the navy they ought to
be provided lor in that service. They do
not seem to take into consideration the
fact that they were given their education
at the public expense. The government
has a claim on them, but they
certainly have no claim on the govern
ment. If Mr. Oates’ bill were to pass
there would be 200 more officers in the ser
vice than there is any use for. The bill
would require an increase of $200,000 an
nually in the naval appropriation, and
would, eventually, according to the Secre
tary’s figures, take $10,000,000 out of the
Treasury. Mr. Oates’ bill is a step back
ward that Congress will hardly take.
Col. L. A. Hardee, known as Honey Moon
Hardee, of Jacksonville, whose death was
announced a few days ago, was a nephew
of Gen. AY. ,1. Hardee, and was distinguish
ed for his cultivated mind, gallant war
record, and was considered the most ex
tensive orange grower in Florida. He
obtained great prominence a few years
ago by bis famous “concussion theory,”
in which he advocated the destruction of
insects and disease germs, and the fertili
zation of land by means of concussion,
produced by the firing of cannon and
otherwise. He made specious arguments
in support of his theory, but it was
eclipsed "about that time by the “blue
glass” mania. He was generally consid
ered a little cranky on this subject, but
stranger theories than his have eventually
proven correct, and who shall say that
“concussion” was not worth) of a scien
tific investigation?
It required a good deal of courage to
vote against the joint resolution appropri
ating $300,000 for the relief of the sufferers
by the Ohio flood, but there were twelve
members ot the House ol Representatives
who did it, not because they did not want
to aid the sufferers, but because they did
not believe that Congress had the right to
make such a disposition of the people’s
money. Their names are: Lewis Beach
of New York. R. T. Bennett of North
Carolina, AYm. B. Cox of North Carolina,
G. AV. Hewitt of Alabama, F. AY. Y. Lau
ham of Texas, Benton McMillan ot Ten

The Chicago Tribune says:
“A story is in circulation at Washing
ton that ill order to conciliate his oppo
nents in Ohio and to secure their co
operation in his schemes to obtain the
Democratic Presidential nomination,
Senator-elect Payne, of Ohio, will retire
from tbe Senatorship soon after the 4th of
March to make way for Pendleton, and
that he has promised Thurman the Secre
taryship of State in the event of his
election, and Gen. Durbin AA'ard a life
Judgeship. Bookwalter is said to lie the
political diplomat who has carried on the
negotiations.”
This is probably about as reliable as
the Tribune’s outrage dispatches from
the South.
There seems to be no good reason why

Boston'Globe lDem.)..
But history will require something more
than the word of Prof. AVarreu, or that of his
blackmailing friend, before it reverses its es
timate of the character of John Hancock.
The storv is absurd on its face, for the reason
that neither John Hancock, r.or any other
citizen of Massachusetts, was worth $400,000
a hundred vears ago, nor any sum approach
ing that. But, as Mr. Talmage once remark

Of the Central Pacific snow sheds the Reno
Ncv.) Gazette says: “The snow sheds are
really beautiful now. Sufficient snow has
sifted through the cracks to cover the track
several feet. The ploughs have shoved it
down and packed it into a solid white marble
pavement, with only two streaks of steel to
afford contrast. The sides of the sheds are
banked up on the outside, and through the
cracks the sunlight is strained through snow
enough to color it aa exquisite blue, too deli
cate and transparent for imitation.”
A telegram from Kingston, Ont., to the

his wife was visiting when lie set the trap.
About 11 o’clock at night he was aroused by
the screams of his wife, who had one of her
feet caught in the trap, but she was released
by the lover, who was in the parlor at tbe
time, before the husband arrived. The
voung man is now a welcome visitor at the

The most exciting Leap Year incident so
far reported is that which comes from St. El
mo, 111. It appears that on Sunday last,
while the Rev. Mr. Pierce, a young divine,
was occupying liis pulpit in that city, Mrs.
Mary Smith, a dashing young widow, left her
seat in the body of the church and went up
and stood beside him. To ttie astonishment of
the congregation she announced that she was
about to become Mrs. Pierce. She had, it is
rumored, become infatuated with the voung
divine, and to this and the excitement of a re
ligious revival, at which site was converted,
her temporary insanity is attributed.
Anew and dangerous development of mes
merism was displayed the other day at Paris
to an admiring and sympathizing public by a
well-known mesmerist, who at the same time
is a lion-tamer in a certain menagerie. A
beautiful voung girl, on whom the Spiritualist
generally practices, was brought into a cage
of lions, and, after being thrown into a cata
leptic sleep, was submitted to the most fright
ful ordeals. In one of these the head and
arm of the eirl were put into the month of
the lion, which had previously been infuri
ated by lashes from its master’s whip. But
the apparently dead body did not excite tile
animal's appetite. At the end of the scene
the girl went smiling away, while the mes
merist earned rich laurels. But suppose the
lion had eaten the maiden—wliat then?

The Union Point and Sandersville Kail
road.
White Plains, Ga., Feb, 12 .—Editor
Mo thing News: I write to say a word in
the interest of the Union Point and
Sandersville Railroad by way of AA’liite
Plains. AA r e of this section urge the com
pletion of this project mainly for two
reasons: First, because the citizens along
the proposed route need it aud would be
greatly benefited by it; and second, it
would further enlarge tbe trade territory
of Savannah. Through this section
there is a large scope of the
finest country in the State
almost closed in from the outside world
on account of not having proper railroad
facilities. For instance, here we have a
most excellent and business-like little
town of about 500 inhabitants, but unless
we can be successful iu getting railway
communication our town is about all it
will ever be. Tbe enterprising merchants
of this place sell annually several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of goods
which they are compelled to haul from
Union Point, our nearest depot, a distance
of 12 miles, on wagons. They ship every
season between 4,000and5,000 bales of cot
ton from this point, which have to rely
on the same tardy mode of transportation.
So also with every sack of commer
cial fertilizers, several hundred tons,
used in the production of this staple and
of other produce. Had we a railroad
through here this town would rapidly im
prove. Like the tabled bird, white plains
would soon rise and assume the propor
tions and prerogatives of a handsome and
lively city. Capital and capitalists would
flow "in upon us; new industries be multi
plied, creating a good home market for the
thrifty husbandman. All other towns
along the route would improve iu propor
tion. Truck farming, stock raising and
the dairy business might be made profi
table, and tbe value of lands and property
would be largely appreciated. Well,
then, consider the second Reason. How
would it be beneficial to the city of Savan
nah? In this way: There would then be
a continuous rail liue running from the
farther bounds of Northeast Georgia to
the “Forest City,” giving her not only the
immense trade of thousands of families
and retail merchants on the road, but
pouring into her arms 50,000 or 60,000
bales of cotton annually. The importance
ol the city of Augusta would be greatly
diminished, of which fact she is greatly
aware, and is trying to flank us in our
scheme by proposing to build the A., G.
& S. R. It., so as to hold on to the products
and trade of Greene, Hancock, Glasscock
and other counties, which, if the
Union Point and Sandersville Railroad is
built, will be turned into the lap of Savan
nah. AVill not the Central Railroad aid
us in this work? It seems that it might.
Savannah will be one of the chief benefi
ciaries of this road if it is ever built, so
rouse ye up, Savannah, from your leth
argy, and exert all your energy for your
best interests. Aid us in building" tbe
Union Point and Sandersville Railroad.
Crush other projects inimical to your suc
cess as a trade centre. If you want our
products and trade, invest your capital
with us, put your shoulder to the wheel,
use your influence for us to get rail facili
ties," and you shall have it. Now is the
time to build the road if it is ever to be
built.
Augusta is alarmed at the project , be
cause she knows it will be detrimental to
her best interests if we are successful in
our projeon Come now, Savannah, be up
and doing! Lend us a helping hand. Let
us move quickly into ranks, and make
one long, strong light together in endeav
oring to perfect a scheme so pregnant
with good to us all. P. S, A.
An Old Reminiscence—Gen. LaFayette’s
Visit.
A correspondent, over the initials J. M.
8., in the Milledgeville Union and Re
corder, writes from Dehnis Station, Feb.
7, as follows:
I see from your last issue that the old col
ored woman who cooked the supper on the
occasion of LaFayette’s visit to your city
in 1825 has just died. If my memory is
not at fault, that is a mistake. Peter
Gillette, a Frenchman, and cashier of the
old Darien Bank at the time, was then
living in Milledgeville, and claimed the
honor of entertaining the grand old
French patriot at his house, and unless
the old negro spoken of vvas cook for Gil
lette," she certainly did not cook for La-
Fayette.
I vvill here tell you of a very mortifying
episode (to Mrs. Gillette at least) that
took place on that memorable occasion.
Gillette bad written to the General before
lie got to Georgia, to share the hospitali
ties of his house with other distinguished
guests. Gillette had sent to Savannah
and bought a very fine set of bed-room
furniture, had the nicest room fitted
up in magnificent style, a lied whereon
never man had lain. Well, the illus
trious Frenchman came with liis retinue
of attendants. A committee with the
Governor at their head, met them
outside the corporate limits of the
city, and gave them a grand recep
tion of welcome to the then capital of
Georgia, after which Gillette took the
old man to his house, no doubt with a
pride that tilled every heart, and espe
cially a Frenchman’s. That night, Mil
ledgeville and all the surrounding coun
try, and from adjoining counties, turned
out to do honor to the friend of American
liberty, and show to the world, and
France particularly, that they had not
forgotten the voluntary service of the Mar
quis in our struggle for liberty from the
British yoke. Well, everything passed
off cheerful as a marriage bell till
a late hour, when one of LaFa
ette’s attendants, worn out with continu
al travel, and also the occasion not being
a novel one to him, betook himself to Gil
lette’s for rest. On his arrival, -Mrs. Gil
lette being at the capitol, her valet de
ehambre conducted the man to the Geuer
al’s room, thinking it was the 'old hero
himself, but mirabile dictu, on her arrival
home, found the servant in the bed intend
ed for LaFayette. Oh, horror of horrors!
she at once went to her husband and in
formed him of the miserable mistake.
Gillette told hid wife to hush up, say noth
ing more about it, that the bed could be
rearranged, and the people would never
be the wiser. Not so, for madam rumor,
then, as now, soon spread the matter,
greatly to the discomfort ot Mrs. Gillette,
and to’ the amusement of all the ladies of
Milledgeville.
FLORIDA’S NEGRO CONVENTION
Italian vs. Negro Labor—Florida's Ex
hibit at New Orleans.
Correspondence of the Morning Seies.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 13.—Nothing of
importance was accomplished by the negro
convention held last week at Gainesville. The
honorable Mr. Bisbee issued apronunciatnen
to to his sable supporters, which, coupled, as
rumor has it. with the usual promises, had
the effect of chilling tlie ardor of the leading
malcontents. This astute politician well un
derstands tlie material of the troopers wiiom
he leads, and the appliances by which to re
duce them to subjection. AA'ith but a very
small modicum of personal popularity, lie
possesses the qualities of boldness, resolution
and perseverance, and there is no member of
his party in this State who is more disliked,
and at the same time more feared by his ad
herents. There are numerous Republicans
who would be rejoiced to see liim unhorsed,
and yet there are few who would venture to
cross lances with him as an antagonist. Ine
convention was admirably handled by the
henchmen of Col. Bisbee. who from “the very
nettle, danger, plucked the flower, safety,
and succeeded in stiflitiga denunciatory reso
lution referring rather harshly to the mem
ber from the Second district of Florida, in
fact the convention marched up the lull to
the shrill blasts of the trumpets and thump
ing of drums, and having gained the height,
limped down the other side, to tbe humble
strains of a penny whistle.
Everywhere the orange trees are giving
cheering evidences that they have escaped se
rious injury. All over tlie city new' leaves are
appearing at the extremities even of tlie ten -
derest twigs, and farther up the river the
fruit buds are forming. The late splendid
weather has pushed vegetation forward with
exceeding rapidity, anuthe naked limbs of the
trees will soon be arrayed in their beautiful
spring drapery. Yesterday the windows of
the churches were opened to admit the
breezes, which were as mild and soft as those
of June in a northern climate. All oyer the
State the planters arc breaking up their land
and putting in field crops. It looks very much
at present as if winter was over, hut tlie sea
son has been so peculiar that some misgivings
are still entertained.
AN EXPERIMENT HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN
by the I’alatka and Indian River Railroad
Company to test the value of Italian and ne
gro labor. Two hundred of each class will be
placed on respective sections of the road, aud
their efficiency will he carefully tested. A
large portion of tlie Transit Railroad vvascon
structed, previous to the war, by Irishmen,
who proved excellent laborers, and endured
the summer remarkably well. The above ex
periment will be carefully noted by railroad
men, who are greatly annoyed by the unreli
ability of the negroes. This being the year
for a general election, negro labor is likely to
be very uncertain, as the charm- of a brass
band and barbecue are altogether too seduc
tive for the average freedmen to resist, and
the probability is that the railroad contract
ors will be forced to submit to frequent inter
ruptions.
It would be a great boon to the housekeepers
of this city if white domestics could be obtain
ed, and would relieve them of constant annoy
ance and anxiety. Tlie general worthlessness
of the negro servants is a subject of never
ending complaint. Owing to this cause many
families here who occupy their own houses
take tlieir meals at restaurants and hotels.
Another highly important industry lias just
been commenced at Hawthorne, in Alachua
county, in the manufacture of fertilizers from
the phosphate deposits found in that locality.
An analysis shows that the crude material
contains "from 19 to 23 per cent, of phosphoric
acid, equal in value to from 42 to 51 percent,
of hone phosphate. For years past tlie use of
commercial fertilizers has been largely and
steadily increasing in Florida, until the busi
ness has assumed big dimensions. Now if we
can prepare in our midst an article equal to
that obtained elsewhere, and put it on the
market at a reduced rate, the economy of the
transaction is at once visible. The prospect
is not only that Florida will supply her own
fertilizers, but that she will be able to export
largely to the neighboring States. Immense
beds of phosphates are known toexist iu Hills
borough county, and a geological survey
would" discover the existence of similar de
posits in many other sections.
ACTIVE STEPS ARE ALREADY BEING TAKEN
to get into working order the machinery ne
cessary to provide fora splendid representa
tion of Florida at the coming Cotton Exposi
tion at New Orleans. From the
interest already manifested and the character
of the gentlemen who arc engineering the
matter its success is already assured. The
Florida display will be on a larger and more
general scale on that than on any previous
occasion, and she will endeavor to eclipse tlie
honors obtained at Atlanta and Louisville.
Directors’meeting of the Kissimmee Land
Company, Lake Butler Village Company,
Florida Land Improvement Company, amt
Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and Okekcho
bee Land Company were held last week, and
reports of progress received. These com
panies all grew out oi the original purchase
and drainage contract of Mr. Disston and
associates. Encouraging reports were re
ceived from the various enterprises. Six hun
dred thousand acres of the Florida Improve
ment lands have been sold within tbe last
year, and applications for large areas from
Europe and elsewhere arc now under con
sideration. A dividend of $5 per share has
already been made and the funds in the
treasury will admit of another, of $lO a share.
THE DRAINAGE OPERATIONS
have been very satisfactory. The general
level of Lake Okeechobee is twenty-eight
inches lower than it vvas a year ago. Lake
Toliopekaliga lias been reduced six feet and
a half, and a large area of flue land suitable
for sugar cane and other crops has been re
claimed. The two original dredge boats are
still cutting out canals, while a third, of
great capacity, is now being constructed at
Kissimmee.
Quite a number of bridges on the Jackson
ville and Atlantic Railroad have been con
structed, and it is hoped now that this
avenue will he completed by May or June,
enabling onr citizens to Indulge in a sea bath
and inhale the invigorating ocean breezes
cheaply and expeditiously. AV. 11. B.

\V. A. Wriglit a Candidate—Reforms in
the U. S. Courts, and Other Notes,
Correspondence of the Morning Sews.
Atlanta, Fob. 13.—Our social circles have
had quite an upheaval ot late, but the excite
ment has toned down, and now only one little
scandal in high life disturbs the surface. As
there is generally a calm before a storm, it is
safe to predict that we are to have ere long
another and more exciting upheaval.
lion. W. A. Wright, the efficient Comptrol
ler General, consents to become a candidate
for re-election. Himself a one-legged Con
federate soldier, Capt. Wright has won to liis
candidacy the earnest support of the disabled
soldiers of the State, to whom he has always
keen glad to extend a helping hand in his offi
cial capacity, in securing tlieir leg and arm
money.
A handsome crayon portrait of Col. A. E.
Buck, the well-known Clerk of the United
States Courts, in Atlanta, has been added to
the picture gallery of the State Library, and
is much admired by the lawyers of the State.
It is rumored here that ’an enterprising Sa
vannah firm “caught on” to the new capitol
idea with an eye to business, and will soon
astonish tlieir customers in Georgia with a
beautiful lithographic design of the proposed
building. Atlanta will then open her eyes to
the progressive spirit of your venerable’city.
There has been a change in the Atlanta
Medical Register. Messrs. James I’. Harrison ,V
Cos. becoming the publishers and Dr. James
A. Gray the managing editor. The associate
editors are I)r. \V. F. Westmoreland and Dr.
U. V. M. Miller, who stand at the head of the
profession. Dr. Gray is quite at home in the
editorial harness, and will keep the Register
up to a high standard of excellence.
JUDGE M'CAY AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY SPEER
have made several reforms in the United
.States Courts here since tlieir advent into
office, notably the breaking up of professional
witnesses and jurors. They have also made
an effort to reform some of the abuses that
have brought the Deputy Marshals into such
bad repute. For many years these scandals
and irregularities iiave prevailed, and no
Marshal has yet been able to suppress them.
<;cn. Longetr’eet is now being put on the rack
because of their existence. Smyth and Fitz

and possibly Longstreet may finally lose liis
official head.
Major W. 11. Smyth, U. S. A., late a Pay
master in the Department of Arizona, has
been relieved from duty there and ordered to
tho permanent station at Savannah, Ga., as
Paymaster in the Division of the Atlantic.
Atlanta having disposed of her wrangle in
the Board of Street Commissioners, is now
preparing for a liot time over tlio election of
two Police Commissioners. The gamblers
and whisky men are thought to have matters
pretty well arranged, and if they can’t elect
one of tlieir own number they feel confident
of securing two commissioners who vvill be
somewhat in sympathy with them. As we
are now living in an atmosphere impregnated
with rumors of “trading,” it is hard to tell
what the Citv Council vvill do. Councilmen
have been known to vote for Commissioners
solely on tlie ground that some kinsman would
gel a place on the police.
At the leap year entertainment given by
the ladies at ttie West Point Military Acad

Eli D. Hoyle, of Georgia, the Adjutant of tlie
Academy," vvas escorted by Mrs. Gen. Wesley
Merritt, wife of the Superintendent, while
Mrs. Lieut. Iloyle escorted Gen. Merritt,
thus giving the highest honors of tlie occasion
to Georgia. It was a deserved honor grace
fully bestowed.
OWING TO THE SUDDEN CHANGE
in the weather and the dampness that has
clung to our Indian summer, we are having a
great deal of sickness here, and much of it of
a fatal character. Architect Post, of New
York, who was here in consultation with the
Capitol Commissioners, assured me that lhe
sewerage and health problems were two very
important matters in connection with At
lanta’s future prosperity. We cannot afford
to put these questions aside until a deadly
epidemic gets ,v firm hold upon us. It would
set back our development and strike a serious
blow to all future progress.
State School Commissioner Orr lias just
issued a handsome pamphlet edition of the
Public School Laws of Georgia. It is a val
uable hook for reference, and vvill soon be
followed by an “Index” for the use of school
officials and others interested. Dr. Orr never
tires in his efforts to improve our .school sys
tem, although his views may not always meet
the approval of the public.
There is nothing new to say about the pro
posed capitol. Not a single objection lias yet
been heard as to the design and plans adopted.
Mr. W. J. Edbrooke, the successful architect,
is a very modest and worthy gentleman, and
lias made many friends here. The Commis
sioners are sincerely in earnest in their pur
pose uot to exceed the one million dollars ap
propriated. They may lie obliged to make
the interior finish" rather plain, but if Georgia
gets richer and prouder tne State can at any
lime fresco and adorn to suit her taste. The
exterior will be quite elaborate and attrac
tive. Chatham.

GHEEI/Y RELIEF PLAN.
How the Two Vessels of the Expedition
are to Operate.
The report of the board of officers ap
pointed to consider, plans for the Greeiy
relief expedition, says a Washington spe
cial to the New York Herald , has been
made public. The general programme
proposed by the board to be followed is as
follows:
The relief party to go north in two ships,
which should endeavor to reach U pernavik
not later than May 15. From UpernavlK
they should go to Littleton Island and
endeavor to open communication with
the natives at and north of Cape A ork.
A depot, consisting of a house, fifty tons
of coal, a steam life cutter, a whale
boat, and provisions and clothing
for the entire party for one
vear, should be established on Littleton
island, the stores being taken from ship
No. 1 and left in charge of one officer and
two men. After leaving Littleton Island,
and reaching the ice barrier the design ot
the expedition tvould be for No. 1 to take
the first favorable opportunity to push to
the northward, leaving No. 2 to serve as a
base to fall back upon in case of disaster
or for a second attempt to reach Lady
Franklin sound; No. 2 not to enter the ice
pack, but to manoeuvre constantly to the
southward of it or to anchor in the imme
diate vicinity, to be ready to land a sec
ond main depot of to consist
of the same amount of material proposed
for the first, but to include two whale
boats in case No. 2 be required to proceed
north in the event of disaster to No. 1.
Should Smith sound be comparatively
open No. 1 should advance to the north
ward, forming small depots at Washing
ton Irving Island and the vicinity of Cape
Collinson and Carl Kitter bay. N0..2, af
ter forming a small depot of supplies at
Cape Sabine, to proceed as far north as
Dobbin bay, beyond which point she
should not advance, unless the prolonged
absence of No. 1 should give rise to the
apprehension of her loss.
Should No. 1 be crushed or disabled,
No. 2, before attempting to advance north,
should land her house, two boats and sup
plies for the whole party for one year, in
the vicinity of Dobbin bay.
Should neither vessel be crushed, and
should neither succeed in communicating
with Lady Franklin sound, one should
winter in Franklin Pierce bay, and the
other in the vicinity of Littleton Island.
On the way nortli the coast to be exam
ined from Cape York to Cape Ohlsen on
the east side, and from Cape Isabella to
Cape Sabine on the west. Cairns should
be erected containing notices of the move
ments and intentions of the relief expedi
tion at Conical Cock, Wolstenholme Is
land, Cary Islands, Hakluyt Island, Cape
Isabella and Cape Sabine.
The whalers from Dundee and the
sealers from Newfoundland are to be re
quested to keep a lookout on the icefloes
for Lieutenant Greely’s party. The naval
vessel or tender is to go as far as Little
ton Island or Cape Sabine.
It is also suggested that an advance
ship should be dispatched through Davis
strait, Baffin and Melville bays at the
earliest possible moment, taking more
risks than the relief ships, and might be
able to rescue the party should they have
effected a retreat to the entrance of Smith
sound or the Danish settlements.
THE MISSISSIPPI INQUIRY.
Why tlie Committee go to New Orleans
Instead of Copiah County.
Mr. Hoar and his associates on the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
says a New York Times Washington
special, have started for New Orleans in
a special car to inquire into the Copiah
election murder. Intimations have been
thrown out by ill-naturcu persons that
they were choosing New Orleans as a
headquarters as much from a sense of
danger rather than because it is comfor
table and convenient. The Mississippi
Senators are indignant at the suggestion
that the committee would be exposed to
violence at Copiah. 31 r. George, who
talked with a local reporter to-day about
the matter, said that there was no foun
dation for the reports circulated. “I
am not at liberty,” said he, “to re
peat a private conversation I had with
a Senator who is a member of the
majority of that committee, but 1
can tell you that the committee ap
prehended no danger, either to themselves
or to any one connected with them. The
majority of the committee concluded to
hold its*meetings in New Orleans, at the
instance of political friends, who made,
or endeavored to make, them believe that
they could get more out of the witnesses
in New' Orleans; in other words, that the
witnesses would have less scruple in
sw T earing falsely in New' Orleans than
they would in Copiah; not that the com
mittee want false testimony, but the in
stigators of this investigation do. Nobody
knows better than those who were in
strumental in getting up this investiga
tion that there was nothing in the charges.
If Republicans could once get it out of
their heads that the colored people were
afraid of the white people in the South
and were afraid to vote for whom they
pleased you would hear no more of such
foolishness. No, sir; this investigation
will be beneficial to us. Senator Hoar is
an honest man and will give a fair report
of the facts. That done, and w*e have no
fears.”
KEIFEH-HOYNTOX.
Tlie Correspondent and the Congress
man Can't Both Kcinain in the
House.
Ex-Speaker Keifer will have an oppor
tunity on Saturday, says the Washington
correspondent of the New York Times, to
bring out his proof that the charge he
made against Gen. 11. V. Boynton, that
that gentleman had approached him with
a corrupt proposition, is true. The spe
cial committee, of which Mr. Hopkins, of
Pennsylvania, is Chairman, wdll meet oil
Saturday morning in the corridor behind
the press gallery. Gen. Boynton, who is
the subject of investigation, has re
quested that the committee hold its
meetings with open doors, in order
that the fullest opportunity may be af
forded of showing the public whether he
did commit the offense with which he is
charged, or whether the accusation against
him is one that will not bear the careful
analysis that it will receive. He regards
the charge as one of such a serious char
acter that if proved, as 31 r. Keifer has
made it, the finding of the committee must
exclude him hereafter from all the privi
leges extended to honorable representa
tives of the press. If the charges cannot
be proved by the man upon whom the
burden of proof lies, then the consequences
must be equally disgraceful to Keifer.
31r. Boynton says that after the investiga
tion is over, if it is a thorough one. the
House cannot hold both himself and
Keifer.
