COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, 1876.
NO. 207
A SPEECH BY A. S. HEWITT.
AddrMt to Young Domoorat*.
Judge I'nteu of Illlnole n Tiltlea.
The Iton. Abram 8. Hewitt, whose
telling speech in Congress, iu reply to
Kssson, of Iowa, is Htill fresh in the rec
ollection of the pnblio,spoke in New York
on Tuesday evening—addressing tbe
youug Men’s Democratic Union Ulnb,
No. li, Union square. Mr. Maloolin Camp
bell, Vioe President of the elub, presided.
After Bpeeohea by Alleu Macdonald and
John W. Browniug, Mr. Hewitt was in
troduced, and said he came merely for a
“famito Mo halt paaseil through a
very (aborions session of Congress and
had endeavored to do his duty to his city,
his State and his eooutry. The man who
proposes to do his duty in the House of
itepresentatives most set up for himself a
high standard wbioh no man oould hope
to achieve, bnt which they all should es
tablish for themselves. Tbe responsibili
ty resting upon a member of Congress wa
bo great and the conflicts iu the House
were so sudden that tbe member whe was
not ready at the right time to meet them
was of little use to his eountry and his
constituents. A true Hepresentative in
Congress should be iudependent of out-
eide influenoes, independent in his pecu
niary oircumstanoas, and independent of
bis constituents when he had a oonviolioo
that bis action on any oertain measure is
iu keeping with his duty. Any constitu
ency that has a representative who does
bis duty should support him; they owe it
to themselves to do so. Mr. .
Hewitt said
that, as the rules of the House were ad
opted to binder legislation, a new mem
her in his first terra oould not be expect
ed to do much. Frootor Knott
had tried four years to gel
the floor before he made
maideu speech. He had a speech ready
that be wanted to deliver on tbe granting
ot lands to the Northern Paoiflo Uailroad,
and he asked the Speaker to recognize
him, and the answer was that there were
too many on tbe list and he oould not do
it. Mr. Knott then went to Congressman
Kerr, and Mr. Kerr said he had promised
to get Judge Holman, who had the floor,
to give Mr. Knott twenty minutes of his
time. Judge Holman, after speaking
fifty minutoi of his hour, gave Mr. Knott
ten minutes, and asked him as a personal
favor to give five minutes of the ten min
ntes to another man, a friend of Judge
Holman. When Knott’s time oame he
began to deliver his famous Duluth
speech, in whioh reference was made to
the city that eat by the Bhores of the *‘nn-
sulted seas.” At the end of flve minutes
the House demanded that Mr. Kuott
should continue, and he continued. Knott
spoke ten minutes moro, and by unani
mous consent he was then permitted to go
on without limit. Mr. Hewitt, after this
little historical recital, said that a uian
could do anything in the House if he suo-
oeedediugettiug unanimous consent. And
now, said Mr. Hewitt, let me say right
hare, that we can eleot the next President
if we getunanimous oonsent. [Applause.]
The unanimous consent we need is the
uuited votes of the Democrats of tbe eity
If any man stands in the way ot that
united vote, ride him down. [Orest ap
plause.] I don’t ears what his name is,
or what servioe be may have rendered to
the party, if in this juuoture of affairs he
stands in the way ot a oomplete union of
the party, crush him, blot his name from
the roll of honor, and let him never be
heard^of again. [Applause.]
Mr. Hewitt said in regard to the Bland
silver bill that it was an infamons bill,
that it would rob everybody who had an
insuranee polioy or a deposit nr a savings
bank of 30 per cent. When the bill was
reported a majority in Congress was
infavor of it, the speculators
and gold gamblers of Wall
street, the mining ring of the western
coast and tbe soft-money men had com
bined to pass it. He (Mr. Hewitt) knew
if it pasaed the House it would pass the
Henate, and be signed by the President.
He and bis friends made dilatory motions
to defeat the bill and it oome up every
day for the last two weeks of the session.
Men oame to me, and said every time yon
try to defeat this bill it costs Governor Tit
den 100,000 votes. He (.Mr. Hewitt) said,
if it ooats Governor Tilden 1,000,000 votes
be knew he would rather lose them than
that the mechanics, the servant girl and
laboring man, should be robbed of tlleir
earnings. (Applause.) The speaker had
reoeived a telegram from tbe president of
the workingmen’s union of this city, say
ing the workingmen desired the passage
of this bill. The workingmen did not
know what that bill was; some speculators
had advised them to demand its passage.
He (Mr. Hewitt) was a workingman him
self, and knew what the workingmen
wanted, and when they were wrong he
has the oourage to fane them and tell them
so,and try to put them on the right traok.
(Applause )
Mr. Hewitt then said that the danger
of this government arose from reprosen.
tatives pandering to the ignorance of their
constituents. In regard to the debate
whioh Mr. Hewitt had with Mr. Kaason,
of Iowa, Mr. Hewitt said that Kssson
speech was the meanest speech he had
ever heard from a white man, and that he
(Hewitt) inlonded only, when he arose;
answer tbe charge that Governor Tilden
was disloyal during the war. He said
after he got the floor he could uot help
saying what he did say, and he was now
sorry that he did not say more. He piok
ed out bis words deliberately, and intend
ed to skin Kasson if he oould.
Mr. Hewitt said that it Hayes were
elected tbe administration.maobine would
be run tbe same as at preseut and for the
furtherance of personal ends. The repub
lio oould not last four years longer with
the same rulo that it had for the past
eight years. It was uot a government of
justioe, but a government of personal
favora. No man could get anything be
cause be was entitled to it by right, but
as a personal favor. No Buoh thing ns
personal favor should exist in a free gov
eminent. The rights of every man should
be defined by law, and judges and olfloers
should be instructed to enforce tbe law
without any regard to personal favor.
One-third of the revenues collected wero
wasted beoaune of the polioy of persoual
favor. If men could uot be found for
office-holding who would not only refuse
favors, but try to prevent the appropria
tion of pnblio property to private uses,
the government must go under. Mr.
Hewitt said that there was no royal road
for young men in the oity of New York
to plaoe and power unless they bowed
down and served somebody, lie hoped
that the young men before him would uot
how down and serve anybody. (Applause.)
He spoke of Governor Tilden as a saga
oiooa and successful man of buniuoiUi as
Ute niatal man be had ever knowu, aud
w boneat aa any man he bad ever known,
and an patriotie a man at ever breathed
the breath of life. (Immense applause.)
Mr. Hewitt read the following letter
from Judge J. D. Oaton, a persoual and
intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln, and
Chief Justioe of Illinois during the war :
LETTER FROM JUDOE CATON. X
“i/cm. A. S. Hewitt:
“Dear Sir—I was much interested in
reading your speech in reply to Mr. Kas
son, in vindicating the truth of history,
aud I wish to add my testimony by saying
that during the war of the rebellion I had
several interviews with Governor.Tilden
on the subject of the prospects of the war
and ever found him ardent and earnest
in its support. Thus knowing his seuti-
meuts, on one oooaaion I called upon him
at hia reaideuoe in Grameroy square, aud
submitted to him the mauusoript of a pa
per whioh I had written, the objeot of
which waa to li&oae every citizen, and
especially every Democrat to support the
war with heart aud soul. The paper met
with his oordial approval, and iu tbe
course of the interview he show*d, in that
clear and earnest way peculiar to himself,
that it was the paramount duty of every
one, whether Domoorat or Uepublicau, to
stand by his oouutry aud the Union.
While the fire was raging it was no time
to stop and enquire who kindled it. If I
have uot known Mr. Tilden as long and
as intimately as I did Mr. Liueolu I think
I certainly know his sentiments on the
subject of the late war; and there would
be as much propriety iu saying that Mr.
Lincoln was anti-war Republican as that
Samuel J. Tilden was an anti war Demo
crat. Yonrs trnly,
J. D. Oaton.
“Ottawa, Til., Aug. 18, 1876.”
The reading of the letter called forth
great applause, aud Mr. Hewitt said iu
conclusion that the salvation of the coun
try depended upon a change of adminis
tration, aud that long continued power
would corrupt any party.
The meetiug then adjourned with three
cheers for Mr. Hewitt aud the St. Louis
nominations.

PHILADELPHIA.
Tlte Fragrant Ueaerat KUpatrlck
From the Chicago Times.]
“I am going to the sea coast,” wrote
Sherman to Graut in 1864. “Send me
Borne one to command the cavalry ;
dumued fool will be the best for this
work.” And Grant sent him this same
Judson Kilpatrick! On a morning during
that Barne romantic march to the sea the
ill-bred cavalry of Wheeler (not tbe Hayes
vice) made a dash on the Union cavalry
near Columbia, South Carolina, and what
should they find but this Bame roseate
Kilpatrick pillowed in a repose whioh the
Dible forbids aod the law punishes to
some extent. But the shattering of the
seventh commandment, whioh is Kilpat
rick's standing diversion, was not the only
evidence of the correctness of Grant’s
estimate. He showed tbe feather on-
tinged by the red fiame of passion whioh
his oratic surroundings might have justi*
fled just onoe! When the war was over
4 Kil” was Bent as Minister to Chili, but
his peculiar disregard of the seventh com
mandment brought him into trouble in
that censorious Republic, aud he waa re*
called in disgrace with reeking scandal
dripping abont him. 4
He went from public sight until 1872,
when he fastened upon the Greeley Com
mittee and peddled oat bis “eloquence”
in the cause of that reform. He appeared
again last winter for a brief time as a wil
ling witness'to tell how Gen. Butterfield,
of the New York Custom-house had, on
payment of $20,000 to Babcock, obtained
the place he now holds. The proper
committee subpoenaed him, but having
responded to the call and fixed a day to
go to Washington, he mysteriously disap
peared. He was anxiously sought for a
week, but no trace could be found. Fi
nally, the committee having gone into an
other brauoh of the investigation, Kilpat
rick let it be known that he was “lectur
ing,” and couldn’t oominand his time. It
was shortly afterwards reported to Wash
ington that he had been paid hia price to
bury his knowledge. Certainly nothiog
has ever come out since, and Butterfield
is still in office, and has made no denial
of the oharge which was published iu all
the New York papers at tbe time. That
this sensitive-plant of partyism should
glow under the rod heat of duty is not at
all surprising when biographical eccen
tricities of this sort are recalled. He will
be a power of strength to Tilden while in
Hayea’ cause.
A HEHO, A MONSTER
A WOULD DE SAVIOR DEVELOPS INTO THE
AUTHOR OF THE DISASTER.
Buffalo, August 28.—Geo. Adams, the
youug man who so successfully played
the role of hero in the late averted rail
road disaster at Fairport, was last night
arrested in this eity, the evidence of his
beiug the author of the outrages hav
ing been worked up by detectives.
After his arrest he made a full confes
sion, which in substanoe is as follows :
He alone misplaced tbe switch which
threw the train from the track of the
Lake Shore & .Michigan Southorn Rail
road on the 11th iust., whereby the en
gineer and fireman were badly scalded and
the engine completely wreeked. On the
morning of the 16th iust. be drew the
spikes from he ties aud the bolts from
the fish joints, thereby throwing the train
down an embankment, wrecking tbe ou«
gine, three pissenger coaches and bag
gage and postal ears. Tbe only person
injured was W. E. Clemens, who after
wards died of his wounds. His last ex*
ploit was the attempt at Fairport on tbe
20th iost. Adams has already served a
term iu the Erie county workhouse for
petit larceny. He pleads, in exteuuation,
his inteuliou to notify tbe train in time
to avert an accident, hoping thereby to
plaoe the company under obligations to
furnish him with a situation.
Two Hundred Bushels of Crickets.—
In Bull Run Valley, Nevada, the crickets
have played sad havoc with the growing
orops. The ugly pests attacked one
wheat field of thirty acres, and in an hour
destroyed the whole crop, -eating the
stalks off close to the ground, and then
marched ou to other conquests. Millions
of criuketB that have been killed strew the
ground for miles around, while vast num
bers found their way into the streams,
and have' imparted a most disagreeable
fi ivor to the water, rendering it unfit for
drinking.
A novel means of cleaning out crickets
is the sewing together of three guuny
sacks, leaving small holes in tbe bottom
one for the egress of water. This large
Back is attached to the eud of a sluice box,
plaoed so that the water will run into it.
The people then assemble, armed with
bolls and and boughs, and with a great
noise drive the crickets into the stream,
whioh swiftly carries them down through
the sluioo box into the bag, aud there
they are speedily drowned. At Painter’s

1MTERNATIONAL BEUETTA.
Philadelphia, August 28.—The Cen
tennial excursion of the New York State
Press Association, numbering 200 includ
ing ladies, will reach here ou Wednesday
aud visit Washington.
Daring the past week the inoroase of
paying visitors to ’lie exhibition has been
very marked. Ou Wednesday, 23d, there
were 30,305 ; on Thursday, 24th, 56,325,
and ou Saturday, 26th, 07,172—the latter
date the admission fee being only twenty-
five cents. To-day's paid admission were
34,707.
The first truly international regatta
over projected commenced to-day on the
river Schuylkill. The weather was de
lightful for the spectators and most fa
vorable for the rowing, tho water bei ig
perfectly smooth. At an early hour thou
sands of the sight*seor8 made their way to
the scene of tbe contest. There were
several screw lauuohes aud paddle steam
ers stationed along the course, and several
barges filled with people seated, while a
whole iloet of rowing boats was anchored
in the space between Peter's Island and
the bridge opposite the grand stand. The
latter was filled with people, and ou high
rocks behind it, a favorable point, and
for half a mile along the adjacent shore
spectators had congregated like boos. The
opposite bunk presented a similar picture,
with the addition of hundreds of eques
trians and still more numerous vehicles
running close along tho water's edge.
The first heat of the doable scull was
between the Eurokns, of Newark, N. J.,
Argonautas, of Bergen Point, and the
Dubliu University Boat Club. The ar
rangements for the start wero as follows :
Three buoys were moored at set distances
across the river, aud to each of these
buoys a skiff was made fast, aud in eaoh
skiff'sat a waterman prepared to hold the
stern of one of the racing boats. The
umpires’ boat, Roeklaud, ami one for tho
honorary committee and invited guests,
and the Gazelle, were tho only ones al
lowed ou the courso. On board the um
pires’ boat Col. Tom Scott, Gou. Hawley
and Col. Ford and others, occupied prom
inent positionF. Mr. Frank 8. Brown, of
Lnssau B. C., Now York, had been choHen
umpire, and stood in the boat ready to
start the crews. As the crews lay at the
post ready to Btsrt, they were composed
of the following oarsmon: Eureka—B.
John Youug, W. ltyno, Peter Young and
J. Angel man. Argonautas—Ed. Smith,
11. Stephenson, Cbnrles Dunbar and T. C.
Eldred. Tho Dublin W. B. 0.— G. H.
Ferguson, C. K. Barrington, Crocker
Barrington aud Georgo E. Hickson. The
word was given and they started, the
Eureka leaving the Argonautas second
and the Dublin last. As they rouuded the
bend of tho river the Eureka’s led still,
but the Dublin tried hard to oomo to 1
terms. The Dublin steered very badly
bnt pulled well together. When ifi sight
of Peter's Island the Eureka was walking
away fast, rowing thirty-six strokes a
minute. The Dubliu now spurted and
there was very little to choose between
them until the Eureka commenced to gain
onoe more and led the way past the win
ning post in 9:2!).j. * Tho Dublin catno
next in 0:36.4. The Argonauts last in
0:42. " «
The seoond heat boats were the Vesper,
of Philadelphia, with J. Mingus, W. Car-
son, F. Henderson and H. McMilland ,*
the Yale, with R. J. Cook, W. II. Collins,
D. H. Kellogg and Julian Kennedy ; and
the Crescent boat club of Philadelphia,
with C. E E-dill, H. W. Terry, C. D. Tel
man and Georgo Milliken. A good start
was made by all, but Vesper led with a
spurt, and Yale followed, with the Cres*
cent last. The Vesper and Yale pulled a
very nice race, and for over half a mile
wero upon equal terms. Then the Yale
lost ground through bad steering, bnt the
work begau to tell on the Vesper when
near Peter’s Island, and their stroke feU
off very much. The Yale spurted and led
by two lengths, which they held, as they
passed the Hag in 9:234, the Vesper $1:25}
and the Crescent 9:46.j.
The third heat was between the Colum
bia College crew, E. E. Sage, G, Gris
wold, C. 8. Boyd and J. T. Goodwin ; the
Elizabeth Boat club of Portsmouth, Va.,
P. McGrath, J. Murray, T. Gallagher aud
Dennis Callahan ; the Quaker City crew
having withdrawn at the start. The Col
umbia led and steered a splendid course,
their stroke being very quick. The Eliza
both crew hugged the eastern shore but
did not steer very well. As they turned
the bend, the Columbia was a full length
ahead aud rowing well, but the Elizabeth
spurted a little, and when nearing Peter’s
Island they led their opponents by a
length. The Columbia now tried to re
g&iu her laurels, aud although steeriug
too close to the islaud they drew slowly
up, nud the race from this point to tho
fiuish was a hard struggle indeed, the
Columbia winuing iu 9:11. The Eliza
beths stopped on their oars before the
flag went down, or there would not have
been tl e statil difference of an eighth
of a seiond betwee t »he boats.
The fourtn heat was betwoon the Bea-
verwycks, Falcons An 1 Duquesnes. The
Beavers led from tae start, with the Du-
quesue ruuning her hard ; tho Falcon was
a long way behind. After turning the
bend, the Albany boys still led by half a
length. Aa they neared Peters’ Island,
tho Falcons gave out aud stopped rowiog.
Between the other two it was a very tight
race, the Beavers pulling 38 strokes and
tho Duquosuo 37. The Beavers finally
put on a spurt and won the heat in nine
minutes and fourteen seconds, the Du-
queunos coming in throe lenghths behind.
The fifth heat Was between the Penn
sylvania aud Watkins boat clubs, the
Malta having withdrawn. Tho Pennsyl
vania led at first, but at the bond the
Watkins was ahead two lengths, although
their stroke had slowed down from 36 to
28. The Pennsylvania boat stopped sev
eral times and suddenly coasod pulling al
together, as it was placed horsdu combat
by tho weeds, for they wero pulling too
uear the shore. The Watkins cleared the
course iu 9.06}—tho best time of auy to
day.
The most interesting heat came next
between the Loudon Row ing Club—It. H.
Labat, F. 8. Galstou, A. Thrower aud J.
O. Howell—and the Northwestern Club
of Chicago, the Atalantas haviug with
drawn on account of sickuoss. The sig
nal was given aud tho London led by
quarter of a longtb, making a clear and
beautiful start. Neither boat was steered
very well, but tho Loudon pulled grandly.
At the bend they were very little ahead,
but tho Northwestern steered badly and
lost ground again. All this time the Lou-
don kept up a regular machine look
swing, not splashing ouco, aud viewed
astern, it looked like oue man only
with one pair of oars, so perfeot was
their Btroke. Noer Peters’ Islaud, the
Northwestern caught twq crabs success -
ively and one near the start; but the
London was two lengths ahead, and both
boats increasing speed, until, amidst the
cheers of the multitude on the shore, the
London crew pulled past the flag in 8
minutes and 55 seconds, followed by the
Northwesterus only 4} seconds later.
The seventh and last heat was between
tbe first Trinity crow of Cambridge aud
tbe Oneidas, P. M. Cambridge led at the
start, rowiug very strong till they were a
l ength ahead. At the bend ot the river
liiey slowed dowu their pace and stoored
very near the shore. When in sight of
Peter’s Island, Cambridge pulled well and
went iu at a canter in 9:0}, while the
Oneidas, who seemed exhausted, ctuuo iu
in 9:53}.
HONE LIANT1,
A COUPLE THAT THE FA81IIONAKLF. HOTELS
CANNOT ACCOMMODATE.
Rochester Express.1
There is an exhibition iu a store on
State street, iu the oi$, perhaps the most
remarkable couple iu the world—a man
aud womau who are giants iu stature.
They are Mr. aud Mrs. M. V. Bates,
whose home is now in Soville, Medina
county, Ohio. They are each 7 feet 114
inches iu height, the hushaud weighing
478 pounds, # while tho wife weighs 413
pouuds. Tlte common sized visitor,when
plaoed between them feels very much as
Gulliver must have felt wheu he fell
among the giants.
Mr., or Captain Bates, as he is called,
is a finely proportioned man, of ruddy,
healthy-looking complexion, straight aud
military looking iu his regimentals. His
immense stature is not so uotioeable as
that of his wife, who seems almost awk
ward somehow on account of her length,
she being actually taller for a womau
than he is for a man. They are evident
ly people who, if uot bo wonderfully tall,
would bo considered commonplace.
They are intelligent, however, aud tho
lady especially feels the awkwardness of
her position us the object of the curi
osity and open-mouthed wonder of the
multitude. In an interesting conversa
tion with our reporter, she showed openly
her dislike of tho life she is leading, and
her longing to return to her home iu
Ohio. Their home, by tho way, was oue
built and furnished especially for them.
The ceiliugs are 124 feet high and uo
doorway is less than 84 feet high. Of
course they find the hotel accommodations
unsuitable to them wherover they go, as
the doorways are so low aud the beds ho
short.
One of the strangest facts about their
history is that they were the children of
common people. MrK. Bates’ father was
.only five feet four inches in height, while
her mother was only a commousizod wo
mau. Her brothers aud sisters are of no
remarkable height. Capt. Bates’ father
was six feet two inches in height—a tall
man, but a dwarf compared with his sou.
Bates is now twenty-nino years of age.
He is a native of Letcher couuty, Ken
tucky. His wifo is a Nova Beotian,
twenty-seven yoarB of age. They were
married in Loudon, England, while trav
eling iu that country ou exhibition.
The World’s Wheat Crop.
The following from the columns of an
Eastern exchange possesses interest us
bearing upon the future of wheat, nud iH
the moro worthy pi attention from the
position to which Mr. Kains-Jackson has
attained as authority iu such matters -.
“H. Kains-Jackson estimates the wheat
crop of 1876 iu tbe British Liles at 12,-
000,000 quarters. The wheat of 1876 crop
will be of fine quality. The annual con
sumption of wheat in tho United King
dom is placed at 22,500,000 to 23,000,000
quarters; so that thoro will be required
of foreign wheat to supplement tho home
grown about 10,500,000 to 11,000,000
quarters. France, the indications are,
will require to import, to supplement her
home crop of 1876, some twelve to twouty
million bushels of foreign wheat. Bel
gium and Holland have usually imported
about 12,000,000 bushels per auuuiu.
These countries will require to draw on
the wheat grAueries of tho world iu
1876-7, September 1st to August 31, 110,-
000,000 to 120,000,000 bushels of wheat.
Southeastern Europe aud America will
havo an ample supply of wheat to meet
any demand European countries may
make upon them. Tho wheat crop of
1876 iu America is probably somewhat
undor au average, tukiug the winter and
spring wheat together. Southern Russia
will also huvo an abunduut wheat crop.”
COAL.:
A OUE AT TUMIJLE IN PRICES.
New' York, August 29.—Tho great coal
sale occurred to day. Au immense
amount was sold. Prices tumbled from
one to two dollars por ton on all grades.
The excitement at tho offices of the coal
dealers down town was intense. Scarcely
any denier is alone. Consultations and
conferences are holding in most every
office. Never before Iion there boon ho
much interest taken in the price of coal.
Mr. Samuel Sloan, President of the
Delaware aud Lackawanna Compauy, said
the prices obtained aro much lower than
expected, but they are a peace offering to
the public.
A. S. Swords said that tho object of the
coal combination had boon to dituinihli
the supply by taking measures to prevent
ovor-stocking tho niarkot, but now the
sumo effect had boon brought about.
Production would be stopped, because
ooal oould uot be gotteu out of the mines
and delivered at tho present prices.
Other retail dealers expressed similar
opinions, aud while acknowledging that
the price of coal would come dowu, uddod
that it could not keep down, because it
could not bo kapplied at these rates.
