m Vonftssiiui of Mrs. Tilton has
caused much comment and some mer
riment Generally, people say that
Mrs. Tilton having boon east aside by
the BeeclieHtes is now trying to make
terms with her husband. Having
made statements on both side* of the
iasa«r it is difficult , to ascertain from
her evidence the fact. The public
would have been satisfied for thisdis-
gusting affair to remain out of mem
ory- ,
. , COXKUNU.
. Co titling, too, has surprised Hie
country by having publi-lied a series
or interviews in thtr^lKoWd.” This
fact was telegraphed here last night,
and this morning copies of the World
Was sold before the train reached
here. _ Conkling says: “I am frank to
say that I thought then that there was
something not exaetty straight- about
that Lotdsianw busln% but now
believe that when the whole truth is
known ityvill sink the administration,

reasonable man can doubt there was
some kind of a bargain between the
friends of Nichols and that man
Hayes, add that Stanley Mathews anil
John Thurman wete privy to it.
Again, “People.«|y that Hayes is a
good man and means well,, but they
do not know what they -ore talking

I suppose the truth will now come

We are sorry to have to chronicle
the burning of the Brown House..
Macon, which occurred on Saturday
night last. The fire originated in the
little wooden saloon, between the
Brown House and National. Both
hotels caught, but the fire department
was only able to save the National;
the Brown House was entirely con
sumed. It was insured for *10,000.
the furniture for 5,000. This is cer
tainly i great loss not only to the
proprietor and insurance companies,
but to Macon.
The Florida Frauds Exposed—
The Jacksonville Sun A Prat an
nounce- that McLin, Secretary of
State under Gov. Stearns, L. M. Den
nis, the little giant of Alachua coun
ty, as having made a confession in
writing of the frauds in 1876, by
which Florida wi- carried for Presi
dent Hayes. Dennis covers fully
all the details of the Archer precinct
frauds, which played so important a
I>art before the returning board.—
He says 214 names were put on the
returns of the Archer after the voting.
M.T.ilT, confession is said to cover
all the transactions before the State
canvassing board. These confessions
were in the baud* of the present Sec
retary of State, Bloxham, and have
t>*en forwarded to Washington.
After Dennis made his confession
eleven indictments against him for
fraud in Alachua and Levy counties
were tod pruned. McLin, it is said,
was rewarded, but how, is not
known.
Murder of Col. W. L. Salisbury,
of Columbus.
One of the most brutal, dastardly
murders committed for many years in
this country, was the killing of Col.
W. 1- Salisbury, owner of the Colum
bus Ent/nirer-Snn, by one Dr. R. IT
Palmer, at Seale, Ala., on Saturday
last. This man Palmer had surd
Col. Salisbury for two hundred anil
fifty thousand dollars damages to hi*
character by certain publications, and
(be jury awarded him one cent. After
the trial was over, at 10 p. m., as Col.
Salisbury wa,s entering the train the
murderer fired at him, shooting him
in the back. Oil. S. was taken to hla
home, OilmnbiiH, where lie died on
Sunday morning, and was buried on
Monday. All the business houses of
the city were closed during the funer-
•al, and the wholeofColuinbiisattend'
ed in honor of the dead. Col. Salis
bury was one of the most prominent,
useful and highly esteemed citizens of
Columbus, and great indignation is
felt over tlis foul act. The murderer
lias made his escape, but a reward of
*1.150 is offered for liis arrest, and it U
earnestly hoped he will lie brought to
justice, and be made to pay the high
est peneally of the law for the terrible
crime.

Editors A litany News:
True to promise 1 am writing to
you of the great International Sun
day School Convention, which met In
this city on the rooming of the 17th.
Weary, and with the dust of travel
upon me. I reached here early Wed
nesday morning. I found the hotels
literally jammed by delegates who
had come in the night before. Trains
were constantly arriving with fresh
cargoes of delegates. After a good
breakfast at the Kimball House, 1
sought my way to the First Baptist
Church, the place of meeting of the
Convention. Here the delegates ft-nm
all section* of the Union ami from the
British province* hail gathered in lit-
tte knots mid groups about the door*,
on tlie walks, in the basement and au
dience mom, chatting and slinking
hands, renewing and forming ac
quaintances. As the hour of ten ap
proached the delegates began tons
cciid the winding stairways leading
into tlie spacious audience room of
the Church. Here the eve of the
stranger was greeted by a sceno at
once beautiful, attractive and eleva
ting. The hand of taste had deftly
woven into festoons and appropriate
mottoes tlie fragrant blossoms and
emerald leaves of spring. Beautiful
rustic Imsket*, ladened with the rar
est flower* were suspended here and
there, breathing out freshness and
cheer as to mock tlie heavy ovcrcoat-s
which hung across the arms of North
ern visitors, and as if to chase away
tlie shiver which had accompanied
them from their homes. Cards fast
ened in upright rods, with the names
of the several States, Territories and
Canadian provinces upon them, and
fixed here and there in tlie scats, in
dirateil tlie space assigned to the
respective delegations. Promptly at
ten the exercises began. Addresses
of welcome were delivered by Mayor
Angier ami Gov. Colquitt, which
were responded to in thrilling speech
es by Gen. Fisk, of New York, and
Dr. Polls, of Toronto, Canada. Round
after round of applause greeted the
wit and eloquence of the speakers.—
Gov. Colquitt was enthsiasticnllv ele<
ted President of tlie Convention. I
well arranged programme now Inv
before them, upon which the Conven
tiou entered with hearty good will.—
Throughout the exercises were inter
esting, instructive and inspiring.—
Statistics showed that there were
about eight million Sunday School
Scholars and Teachers in the United
States and Canada—a calculation
which falls far below accuratess, as
the South showed meagre statistics.—
The work of the Convention consist
etl of the iiiaugtiaration of new plans
of work in the Sunday School vine
yard, which subject was thoroughly
'disenssed in all its phases. The uni
form system was again adopted, and
a new Committee was appointed to
prepare these lessons, consisting of
the ablest biblical scholars of the
United States and Canada. The plaee
of meeting chosen for 1881 is Toronto,
Canada.
The meetings of the Convention
were characterized *bv ability, Chris
tian love, unanimity and unbounded
totjhuaiaam in the Sunday School
wotj:.- Notably among the delegates
were Dr. Jno. Hall, of N. Y., Dr,
Vincent, of N. J., Dr. Potts, of Cana
da, Dr. Van Meter, of Rome, and
Prof. Van Nellep, of Turkey.—
Throughout, the meeting was one of
profit. It is the largest and most en
thnsiastic Christian assemblages that
has ever gathered south of the Poto
mac. The verdict is that this is the
grandest International Convention
that has ever before met in the world
Atlanta lias won laurels by tlie
princlines* of her hospitality. It has
passed into a proverb for all time to
come. Provided, its distinction is not
impaired by tlie rnpaeity of Metho
dist preachers, as it will he reinem
bered that the General Conference
-j-ineets here in a week or so.

People suffer a great deal of pain
unncoessarily. Among tortures that
need not lie endured are those inflict
ed by the rheumatism mid gout, since
tlie acrid nlcment in the blood which
