BLAND'S SILVER DOLLAR.
POST. HESS TO HAVE A HARD
Kilim ON THE QUESTION.
cnker Carlisle's Choice of L’ommtt
* One of the Most Important Ad
umts of the Conflict—Both Side*
si* "me aud * OompromlM Bill the
I’robnbl* outoeine.
y, asiungton, Sept. 17.—The Evening
aas the following: Representative
IVirner, of Ohio, is in the city to-day,
i ilW!li r ,'oine here to see Secretary Man-
L; A laid Treasurer Jordan about his pro
;;Ad surer compromise bill. Mr. War
, A has been consulting with all the
rnn ,in, nt silver men he could reach with
' V; „,v of strengthening his, proposition.
L, ie Illo9 t important persons on both sides
ni the question are said, however, to stand
In tbeir original position, and the pros
,t(l „fa compromise are not thought to
be good.
TO STAMP BY THEIR COLORS.
lloth Messrs. Bland and lteagan are
, , as declaring their determination
to etnail bv the Bland dollar uncompro
„ .Ye >. and the anti-silver men say that
'..'nt Cleveland has not altered his
vi.a-in the least since writing his ta-
B „ > anti-silver letter shortly after his
dee'ilon. The prospect seems to bo lor a
sCHigiit issue on both sides, and the out-
C|l ‘ 1 ,„. i|. pends upon whether or not the
administration has received enough con
vert, since the last session to put them in
coptrol of the House on that question,
w ,,;,.h. it is thought, will be the most im
'. pint in the organization of the House,
and in this respect Speaker Carlisle will
bn placed in an embarrassing position.
mr. Carlisle's delicate duties.
Xuere is no idea that he will meet with
4 „ v (imposition in his canvass for the
f .i’-akcrship, and he will have to decide
tac organisation of the coinage,
Weights and Measures Committee, which
will have the silver question before it.
V ording to the general custom the old
i lirnim, who have served satisfactorily,
will he reappointed at the heads of their
ivpective committees. Thus, Mr. Mor
risi‘,a will expect to go at the head of the
\V:ivs and Means, and Mr. Randall’s
Iriniiils will claim for him the Approprl
. immtttee, and Mr. Bland will ex
placed at the head of tbs Coin
a,?, Weights and Measures Committee.
COUNTING ON A CLEAN SWEEP.
fie will expect also that the committee
will! .rganized according to his ideas,
so that tin-silver men will be in control.
nk. lid his expectations be accomplished
R:e-elver men would have the reins in
t r mvn hands, and the administration
v i!d be defeated at the outset. On the
,!! r hEnd, if Mr. Carlisle should refuse
t.. pUoe Jlr. Bland in his old position, or
sin ulil organize the committee so as to
take the power out of his hands, it would
tuve ateudenoy to commit the House to
t: e - ipport of the administration before
suy vote had been taken, and to plunge
it into a long and exciting contest at
once.
MR. CARLISLE’S VIEWS.
In the face of these circumstances it i 8
important to know .what Mr. Carlisle’ 8
v- va on the question are. The silve r
ni..|i naturally reckon on his being with
them as opposed to the New York bank
et-, but it is understood that he has
studied the question very carefully, and
is inclined to think with the President,
that there is danger in unlimited coinage
of.silver dollars This question is giving
Min more uneasiness than the tariff, or
anything else that may come before Con
irriss this winter, and for months past he
has been talking with men on both sides
king a careful study of the situa
tion. Representative Warner expressed
the opinion to-day that Congress would
pass a compromise silver bill this session.

GEORGIA’S LEGISLATURE.
A Vote on the Kailroad Commission
Bill Expected to be Beached To
day.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17. —The House
did little to-day further than to pass a
few local tills, and kill much valuable
time in moving suspension of the rules,
etc., to take up oertain bills. Although
there is a House calendar published, no
new one has been out in ten days, as the
members pay so little attention to the cal
endar that anew one is not needed.
IN THE SENATE.
In the Senate a considerable portion of
the morning’s session was taken up in
consideration of Mr. Mcßride’s amend
ment to the railroad bill. On a motion to
reconsider, the amendment was lost,
after a considerable portion of the session
had been consumed in argument. Tho
vote was 15 yeas to 20 nays.
The Sheffield amendment was then read.
It provides that the railroad shall make
the rates and furnish them to the commis
sion. This rate shall remain In force
until a complaint is lodged with the com
mission against the rate.
SETTLING DIFFERENCES.
The commission shall then give ten
days’ notice to all the parties interested
to meet before the board and discuss the
differences. If not disposed of satisfac
torily to both sides an appeal can then he
taken to the Superior Court of the county
from which the complaint comes. The
amendment was adopted. The
bill then came up on its merits and was
discussed the remainder of the
day Mr. Thornton spoke for the first time,
and opposed the bill. He said that the
daily papers of the State who were advo
cating the passage of the bill did not rep
resent the sentiments of the people. He
believed that the views of these papers
were controlled by the railroads. At the
conclusion of his argument the Senate
adjourned.
Mr. Smith, of Oglethorpe, will speak
to-morrow for the bill, after which it is
believed a vote will be reached .

SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1885.
A TOBACCO DAY PARADE.
A PROCESSION IN LOUISVILLE
EIGHT MILES LONG.
The Celebration in Honor of the Rale of
100,000 Hogshead* of the Fragrant
Leaf—Picturesquo Float* In the Line
Kvery Industry Represented
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 17.—Tobacco
day, or the celebration of the sale of 100,-
000 hc.-sheada of tobacco In Louisville
this year, took place to-day. The city was
crowded so that locomotion in the busi
ness streets was almost impossibi*. Ex
cursion trains from neighboring States
had been arriving since yesterday and
there were 50,000 visitors in the city. The
parade was a magnificent pageant. It
was composed ot most elaborate, artistic
and costly displays, representing nearly
every commercial interest. It was over
eight miles long and took hours to pass a
given point.
TOBACCO RULER OF THE DAY.
Though the various commercial inter
ests were represented, the tobacco inter
est was given the post of honor, and their
displays occupied three of the procession’s
eight miles. The streets were orowded
from early morning, and it being a holi
day the city was handsomely decorated.
Fully 50,000 visitors witnessed the pro
cession, which begun its march at 10:30
o’clock, and paraded the principal streets,
headed by the police and lire departments.
There were many very picturesque
displays in the procession, and largo
quantities of tobacco ot all grades and
qualities were hanging trom different
wagons. White hurley, Virginia wrap
per, celebrated Hart county yellow prior,
Green river dark leaf, heavy rich long to
bacco from Christian and other southern
counties, blue prior, Clarkesville leaf
and every other quality known and used
by manufacturers was represented in the
display.
PICTURESQUE FLOATS.
The tobacco men not only had separate
and individual displays, but they all
united in preparing a number of huge
floats representing tobacco in all stages
of cultivation and manufacture. Among
the prominent floats to tie noticed was an
immense decorated platform with designs
intended to represent tho whole tobacco
trade. Another was a panorama of
Columbus discovering America, another
Sir Walter Raleigh presenting the Queen
of England, surrounded by five maids of
honor, with a leaf of tobacco. Another
was a realistic tobacco plantation scene.
OTHER INTERESTS IN THE LINE.
Following the tobacco floats came nine
other long divisions in the parade, repre
senting various other interests and
industries, and these were equally inter
esting and attractive as the preceding.
AT THE EXPOSITION.
The procession ended at the'exposition,
where the largest crowd ever in the build
ing was assembled. Damrosch’s orones
tra played a tobacco programme. Several
speeches, congratulatory to the trade of
Louisville, were made, and a hogshead of
fine burley tobacco, selected as the one
hundred thousandth bogshead, was sold
at auction to C. 1,. Head, who purchased
it for Finzer Bros., of Louisville, who will
manufacture it into a favorite brand.
The hogshead weighed 1,190 pounds net,
and brought $2,023, or $1 70 per pound, the
highest sum ever received for a hogshead.
In view of the event the Courier-Journal
issues a double number to-morrow morn
ing, which will contain an elaborate and
exhaustive history of the leaf tobacco
trade, with carefully compiled statistics
and interesting biographical matter.
MEXICAN WAR VETERANS.
Congress Ashed to Look Into the Pension
Question.
Indianapolis, Sept. 17.— The National
Mexican Veterans Association to-day
adopted the following:
Reolrd, That wo still hope that Congress,
which has hitherto failed to recognize the
| service* of the soldiers, sailors and marines
of the Mexican war, will at no distant day do
justice to them all by giving them such a
pension as befits their services, and ss will
save many of thorn from want and sufferings
born of want, and comfort and cheer their
last days by the assurance that they are not
wholly forgotten by their country.
RMolord, That whatever clarnis these vet
eran survivors of the war with Mexico may
have upon their country, they stand upon
grounds so peculiar in respect to the time and
circumstances in which they originated as to
fairly entitle them to the consideration of
Congress upon their own merits.
The President of the association was
empowered to take charge of tho resolu
tions concerning pensions anil bring the
subject-matter thereof to the attention of
the President and Congress at the earliest
possible day.

MADNESS OF A JUDGE.
He Signs a Resignation While Insane,
and Later B oovsrs UI Reasou.
Ban Francisco, Sept. 17.—Several
weeks ago Judge Clough, of the Suiierior
Court, became insane and was duly com
mitted to the asylum at Stockton. There
was considerable discussion at the time
in legal circles as to how his
place on the bench could be
filled, there being no provisions of the
constitution or code which created a va
cancy in the case of a judge going mad.
The difficulty was apparently solved by
the resignation of th* Judge, written, as
every one supposed, during a lucid Inter
val. but now it turns out that he was
; quite insane when he signed the paper
RECOVERS HIS REASON.
I Within the last few days he has reeov
! ered his reason sufficiently to attend to
| his business, and he declares that he lias
no roeolleotion of his resigning his judge
ship. It appears that his wife,
wishing to caro for him at
home, took him trom Stockton
with the assent of the doctors, but with
out a certificate of recovery; that after
his arrival in the city at the request ot
the clerk of the court hi# wifo induoed
him to sign a resignation, It being under
stood tbnt she should retain the paper for
a certain length of time, end in the event
ot tho Judge’s recovery destroy it, but
that If he got, no better she should send it
to the Governor. He did not get better,
she forwarded it to the State cnpitol, and
the Governor appointed Walter Levy
Judge in his place. Judge Clough, how
ever, has since Improved and is now sane.
THE RESIGNATION NULL.
The political code of the State declares
that a person of unsound mind can make
no conveyance or other contract, nor
waive anv right until his restoration to
sanity. Mrs. Clough testifies that the
Judge was insane when he signed the
resignation, and he confirms tho state
ment by averring that he has no recollec
tion of the circumstance. Ho is, there
fore, to all intents and purposes, still
Judge of the Superior Court, and there
was no vacancy for Gov. Stoneman to fill.
Waiter Levy is not, and never was. Judge
of the Superior Court, and unless the
lawyers should decide that his acts as
such, when he believed himself to be the
rightful incumbent of the office, are valid
all proceedings taken befo "u him are null
and void.
PRIESTS AT AVAR.
Father O’Connell’* Trial Interspersed
with Sensational Publicist lons.
Oswego, N. Y., Sept. 17.—The trial of
Father O’Connell, pastor of St. John’s
Roman Catholic eburob, in this city, on
charges of conspiracy with defaulting
City Treasurer Crawford, and also of
criminal Intimacy with Crawford’s sister,
has created unprecedented excitement in
Catholic circles hero. On Friday last a
local paper published charges supposed
to have been inspired by Father O’Con
nell, declaring that Father Walsh,
the official prosecutor of the case, had re
sorted to extraordinary and unfair means
to secure conviction, and tliut he had dis
played a vindictive spirit throughout.
To-day Father Walsh replies to these
charges in a published letter addressed to
Father O’Connell.
TENOR OF THE LETTER.
Father Walsh expresses regret at the
pastor’s associations and his tree use of
tho newspapers for ventilating the pro.
ceedings of the trial, which was conduct
ed under an injunction of secrecy. Tho
letter closes as follows:
“Because l foiled you and your part
ners at your own game, and exposed your
tricks, now, to be avenged,
| you charge me with vindictiveness
and sundry preposterous irregularities.
Your condition Is indeed excessively
pitiable, for, blinded by malignant passion
unworthy of a priest, ami egged on to
your doom by interested and dangerous
associates, you are anticipating your
conviction, and dealing blows to religion
trom which it will reel for matiy a day.
Out ot my heart do I pity you, recognizing
the depths to which you have fallen, and
pray that your eyes may be opened to the
error ot your ways.”
All the papers in the case have been
submitted t) the Bishop, and his decision
is expected soon.

JN THE CLUTCHES OF SIN.
A RUNAWAY GIRL’S HORRIBLE
LIFE IN SAV ANNAH.
I’rotnUns of Forgiven*** l>y a Loving
Mother of No Avail—A Savannah Lad
Lo*t from a Train at Mlllon—Assign
ment of Cases for the United State*
Circuit Court.
Macon, Ga., Sept. 17.—1n July lasi a
lady, Mrs. Coomor by name, came to
Macon in search of a young lady from
Montgomery, Ala., who. It was thought,
had come to Maoon and entered a house
of ill repute. Tho lady, after au unsuc
cessful searoh, returned home, and in
duoed a gentleman by the name of A. 8.
Johnson to continue the search.
THE GIRL IN BAVANNAU.
This morning Johnson passed through
Maoon on his return home nnd informed
the News correspondent that he found
the girl in a disreputable house In Savan
nah. Every inducement was offered her
to return home, her people promising her
complete forgiveness, but to no avail.
She had become fascinated by her now
life, and the picture ot a loving mother
and fond relatives heart-broken at her
conduct had passed from the sight of her
sinful eyes.
A SAVANNAH BOY LOBT.
Among the passengers on the train
which arrived in Macon from Savannah
nt 8 o’clock this morning was a man
named Echols and his wife. When they
reached Maoon they discovered the fact
that their 10-year-olil boy was missing
and their grief was great. About 10
o’clock this morning the railroad officials
in Macon received a telegram from the
agent at Millen saying that the boy would
arrive in Macon at 5:25 o’cloel| this even
ing, which he did. Ho was found wan
dering around Millen, but could give no
account of himself. Tho supposition is
that lie stepped off" while asleep when the
train stopped.
HORNED FROGS.

HOLD TALK IN IRELAND.
A French Army, Conflagrations, and At
tacks on British Bai\_*.
Dublin, Sept. 17. United Ireland to.
day, in commentingou Mr.Chamborlaln’s
recent speech, says: “Twenty-seven In
vinoibles murdered government officials,
attacked judges and jurors, and held this
great city and state chattering with
terror, until the band was finally broken
up, because some of its members failed to
romsuiber their oath of refusal to open
their lips, when. If they had kept ttieir
mouths sealed, the castle star chamber
inquiry would have merely in
volved a week in prison. Simi
lar organizations would be started
in every city, town, and village
throughout Ireland if Mr. Chamberlain’s
argument of Irish weakness is pushed to
extremities.” The paper then discusses
the probable result ol England follow
ing the policy indicated In Mr. Chamber
lain’s speeches, and says that such a
course would probably result in a French
armv landing at Limerick simultaneously
with an Irish conflagration in all the
principal cities in England, and well
planned attacks on various palaces ami
hanks in London.
The article confutes the charge of iru
pntency of the Irish people, hints at pos
sible national boycotting of English
steamships, commercial travelers, offi
cials, soldiers and policemen, and warns
Chamberlain to moderate his rancor to
ward Iroland.
sir uakcourt on the stump.
London, Sept. 17. —Sir William Vor
non Haroourt, who was Home Secretary
of Stßte under Premier Gladstone’s ad
ministration, spoke at Plymouth to-day.
lie said that the late govarnmuut was
prepared to abolish coercion in Ireland,
retaining only those provisions of the co
ercion act which were aimed against boy
cotting. He was unable to give the pro
gramme of the Liberals, but said that
Premier Gladstone had returned In first
rale health nnd prepared for the fight.
The speaker shared Mr. Chamberlain’s
opinions as to the free trade reduction,
and thought that the traffic In drink also
required attention.
FROM A CONSERVATIVE BTAND.
Sir M ichael Hicke-Beacb, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, speaking at Cirencester
to-day, commented upon the striking ab
sence in the speeches of the Liberal lead
ers of any reference to the past deeds of
the late government, especially regarding
Gen. Gordon and Soudan. Tun Chancel
lor wus strongly opposed to disestablish
ment, but admitted that the church was
open to reform. Ho approved Mr. Cham
berlain’s attitude toward Mr. Parnell as
“the right thing.” The Conservatives, he
said, also favored local government lor
Scotland and England, but It was inex
pedient to propound their views on the
subject at' the present time.
DIAZ’H MESSAGE.
Cordial notation* with All Countries—
Tlie Debt Bettlement.
City of Mexico, Sept, 17.— President
Diaz's message to Congress last night has
produced a very satisfactory impression.
The main points were these: He spoke in
general of the excellent relations which
Mexico cultivates with all the nations ol
the world, but with respect to the United
States the President said: “We have
maintained most cordial relations. The re
turn ol the Democratic party to power after
the Republican party having exercised it
more than 20 years has not occasioned any
variation in the political friendship reign
ing between both countries.” For this
reason he recommends to the Chamber of
Senators early ratification of the postal
and extradition of criminals’ treaties
wflioh “our Mexican Minister in Wash
ington has negotiated with that govern
ment, as well as approval of the addi
tional article of the commercial conven
tion of Jan. 20, 1883, proroguing until
March, 20,1886, the carrying out of article
VIII. of said convention on a ratification
of laws which the samo requires for its
complete fulfilment.'’
THE NEW TREATY.
He equally thought it oonveuient to re
commend the examination and approval
ot the treaty concluded in the city ot
Washington by our representative
establishing certain rules of interpreta
tion with respect to artlole 1. of tho limit
treaty of Deo. 30, 1863, so as to avoid the
difficulties caused by the constant devia
tions to which the course of the Rio
Bravo is exposod. He also said that the
unfortunate circumstances in which the
publlo treasury finds itsell obliged him
with great regret to decree the laws of
June 22. He thanked the employes for
having accepted without opposition a re
duction In their pay.
MODERATION OF THE CREDITORS.
He expressed great satisfaction at the
prudent moderation of the creditors of
Mexico, who he found welt disposed to
second his efforts for the public good and
also that ol the important interests con
nected with this country, which the
President most earnestly desired. He
explained that the Banco Nacional has
accepted the oollectership of thu interior
and the exterior debt of Mexico, and that
in consequence of this tho government
will have at Its disposal the necessary
funds to that effect. This part of the
message indlcntesthe principle of definite
settlement with all creditors compre
hended In the laws of June.

FERRED AUGUSTA GAME.
The I’snnant’s Ownership Depending
on the Result of the Meeting—Th*
Franchise of the Buffalo Club Mold to
Detroit- Results of Yesterday’S
Game*.
Atlanta, Ga„ Bept. 17.—The Southern
league directors met to-dav at the Kim
ball House, all the clubs being repre*
sen ted except Birmingham. After a long
discussion it was decided that Atlanta
should play with Augusta the deferred
game which was prevented by ruin during
the last visit of the Atlanta club to Au
gusta. Augusta claimed that the game
was due her, and on it depended tho pen
■taut. Bho claims that her percentage to
day Is 663, while that ot Atlanta is 659.
but that if she won the deferred game her
percentage would be 660, thus giving
her the pennant. Atlanta vehe
mently protested, and urged that it
was against all base ball precedent
to play any deferred championship gama
after the closing of the league schedule,
except, as the by-laws require, “when it
was to decide a tie.” Atlanta also claims
that as the clubs were not tied, and by
resolution of the directors of the league
at the last meeting, and, on motion of
Augusta, the l-sgue schedule was dosed
on Thursday, Sept. 17, it would be an
Injustice to compel Atlanta to jeopardize
her right to the pennant, which she haw
fairly won. Atlanta claimed that
ger Mavherry deliberately threw the
recent Nashville games in Augusta and
openly avowed It. She claimed that
sue couhl not and would not
play tho deferred game, aw;
on the strength of the resolution closing;
the schedule on Sept. 17 she had released
six of her players, who were already
signed by Baltimore and Brooklyn. It
wus decided that Atlan'a should play tha>
game by a vote of 4 to 3, Memphis. Nash
ville, Augusta, and Macon voting affirma
tively, and Atlanta, Chaltnnoogn. and
Columbus iu tho negative. The director*
will meet here in ten days and decide oil
the victor for the league championship.
AUGUSTA’S CLAIMS.
Augusta, Oa., Sept. 17.—T0-day’s gama
resulted: Augusta 3, Nashville 1. making)
Augusta's 13lb consecutive victory. Au-s

1886. The club has been run at a lost*,
this year, ami there was such a lack of,
Interest shown that the directors decided!
to sell out the franchise. It is said that!
