AND MORE THAR TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE CIRCULATION I Bbiohim Youno wu Interred at Balt Lake City Banda? with great pomp. Hoeheater Dtmoorat: "It la time that Gen. Howard threw away hie foolish seta- plea and oalled for tho polioe." Mtnanu. Biztna, instead of playing the part of Osman Pasha at Plevna, is quietly residing at Geneva, Bwitzerland. Mississippi's expenses noder Demo, oratio rale were only $464,666, as against 91*064,882 under Badlonl misrule the year before. SnuToa Oann Darn oonreyed himself npon one of his farm soales the other day, and was weighed. The beam tilted at 322} pounds. Trxsx hare Just arrived at Philadel phia for the Zoologloal Garden three Arabian sheep, the first of the breed sror brought to this oountry. SsnaToa Mobtom is said to be not at all a wealthy man, being the possessor of only about $24,000. He haa norer been extravagant, nor a money maker. A tombstone with a six shooter en graved on it is to be erected to the mem ory of one Tom Burns, who was killed in the Choctaw Nation last month. The Fort Bmith (Ark.) Independent surmises that a six-shooter was probably the last thing Tom saw, hence the novel design. The Balt Lake telegram about the fu neral of Brigham Young stated that in the line of mourners wsa a brass band, among other things, and tho family on foot. Properly Ura. Young should have had a earriage, but there are only about two hundred hacks In Balt Lake, and some body bad to walk. The crop of oabbage is so enormous this year that it does not pay the Long Island farmers to bring them to market, where they only got $1 a hundred, in stead of $86t>10. The oabbage are con sequently rotting in the field, and be coming a horrid nuisanoe from their smell. The failure of tho ioe - manufacturing enterprise of Senator Jones, of Nevada, in Atlanta haa, by no means, dampened that gsntloman’a ardor in the same direc tion. He is having made a two bnndrod and fifty horse power engine with an ioe maoblne, made to bo nsod in supplying New Orloans with the oooling substanoe. They are now tolling that Judge Wost, Hopublioan oandidate for Governor of Ohio in ordor to divert $76,000 from the Ohio, Wosleyan University, broko a will which plaoed the property at a widow's disposal and then married the widow. The will haa never been disturbed, the Judge says, and he never has used any of his wife's money. The fiftieth annual oonvention of the national association of ohiof fire engineers of the United Btatea met at Nashvillo Tuesday. Forty-two ohiefs were present. William Htookell, of Nashville, was elect ed President. Henry A. Hills, of ltomr, was eleolod recording and corresponding Beoretary, and A. O. Hendrioks, of New Haven, Treasurer. Puor. Watson, of the Michigan Uni versity, at Ann Arbor, Monday, an nounced the discovery of another planet of the oleventh stellar magnitude. Its right ascension is twonty-three hours and ten minutes, and ite declination 0 de grees 46 minutes north. The daily mo tion retrogrades 65 aeoonda of time in right aaoenaion, and south one minute of aro in deolination. Philadelphia, now that the Governors are gone or are about to go, has beoome exoited over the little Ohio boy supposed to be Charley lioas. A couple of thou sand persfius Bunday escorted the ohild to the Boss residence, and almost tore it down in their oagerness to see him. Mr. Boss declares the boy not to be his; but bis neighbors insist that be is, and it is not improbable that Mr. Boss may be forced to take him to satisfy them. The boy has been carried back to Ohio. Simon Oambdon denies the statement published in the New York Sun that he prophesied the defeat of the Ohio Re publicans this fall. He says that he dif fers from the President rv to the expedi ency of trying to run a ltepubllorn Ad ministration with Domooratio officials,for he thiuks tho effect will bo to make "a solid Booth" with all that tho term im. plies. If, however, the President should snooeed in building up and strengthening the Hopublioan party, and thus promote the good of the oountry, he says ho shall rejoioe with him. The facta about General Meade’s sister, whom Beoretary Bohurs turned out of her olerksbip in the Pension Bureau, are that she was one of Bixty women be found on the rollB doing nothing but drawing their pay—her only oapaoity being for copying, where sho was not needed—and that she is not destitute, nor even in cramped ciroumstanoea. Mr. Bohurx's dismissal of these sixty women, most of whom were especial pets of Congress men, was tho beginning of his troubles with machine politicians. The President sustains the Beoretary. Uabd on Buebman.—The Republican State Convention of Pennsylvania yester day adopted a resolution demanding an early repeal of tho legislation whioh de monetized silvor, and established almost gold standard, and favoring a eoinago of tho dollar of 1798 and its re storation to the position it held as a legal tender for eighty years of our national cxistenoe. This is dirootly against Bher- man and his theories. The Pennsylva nians desire the double standard of values. The same oonvention gave a partial en dorsement to Mr. Hayes. uopr roH no iailmad *»im- GEIHnATIOSS. The business season opens moat oheer- fully, and if there be no railroad discrim inations the futuro promises to sustain the most hopeful angaries. Columbus has been more oppressed by monopolists than any oity in Georgia. That railroads bavo greatly benefittod our city, and that in consequence of having outlets, speedy and convenient to the markets of the oountry, she has rapidly advanced in the progress to wealth and importance,cannot be denied; but it is equally true that she has advanced in spite of the opposition of a most oppressive and onerous dis crimination. The indomitable will and onergy of hot people have made her great in her internal resources. If she pro gresses as rapidly in manufacturing enter prises in the next ten years as she has in the past, she will have railroads seeking her instead of exhausting her sub stance in bollding connections with the outside world. Columbus haa oonatruoted three rallroads^mt in the process of time they have passed Into the ownership of a corporation whiob for several years has been endeavoring to improve Alabama towns at the expense of those on the West ern Georgia border, which it would seem was to its best interest to eoourage and foster. We know the polloy was to extend oonnectlona and push the Centra* Railroad to the West—even to the Missis sippi and strive to be tbo grand route of the Southern Faoiflo line. In doing so there was a hard fight at every competing point, and the Central combination has proved only a partial viotor. One season cotton was oarriod from Montgomery to Savannah for nothing, while from Colum bus ninety cents per hnndred were exact ed. The endeavor was to make Columbus supply the dofialoenoy at Momgomery. All can at onoe perceive tho immonse harm done Columbus, and the justice of her oomplainta regarding snob ruinous dis crimination. Binoe tho same rule haa prevailed and the only approaoh to fair ness on the part of the Central Railroad has been when as now the same rates are demanded of Montgomery as Columbus. Our merchants and business' men do not complain of the charges, bnt they do most bitterly of those great differences which pull them down and raise up their rivalr. The system of pooling, whioh main tains fixed ratoa and prevents cutting under at oompoting points, will aid the Interior towns where a monopoly preva"s. From this we can confidently expeot to be plaoed on a parity with other towns, and will prosper in proportion. A greater reliance is upon tho faot that the new Constitution is certain to be adopted, and that allows the Legislature to fix nnifoim rates proportioned to distanoe. The dis criminations whioh have worked so muob harm, woro they to ooour again would foroe tbo Legislature to interfere. Columbus for the season just dosed consumed 10,746 bales of cotton, and the prosont season, as the oapaoity of the mills will be increased 20,000 spindles, will take 16,000 to 18,000. It would seem that a corporation that looked into its own future as well as tho material prosperity of the Btato would most oheerfully grant advan tages to a oity whioh has developed such wonderful industry, and is making her self bo internally great. It would be en hancing tbo value of the trafflo along its own line and encouraging a trade whioh will add to its own wealth, and increase population. Buoh has not boon tho ac tion heretofore, but we believe now the dark days are over, and surely plenty will shed his beams over all. Tna Govebnobbiiif.—Already tho jour nals ore speaking of candidates for the position of Govetnor of Georgia. Hon. Thomas Hardeman appears to bo adopt - ing the mode pursued by Governor Col quitt, by beooming President of the Georgia Agricultural Booiety. Hon. J. H. Jamos takes the example of Governor Bmith, and is reaohing for tho high posi tion through a Legislative reputation. We have thought it would show a proud and jest appreciation of Gen. Toombs as to elevate him to the obief executorship, that he might oarry out the provisions of tho Constitution, the most important features of whloi; are of his own framing. In point of intellect he has not a peer in the Btate, aud though otton rash in speech, in oonnael his notions are governed by Wisdom, Justioe and Moderation. It would be a fitting and appropriate tribute to make him' the first Governor under *he new Constitution. *Osman Pasua.—They have decided he is not Bazame. Now a Obioago paper asser’s that it haa proof he is a Ohioago man. He will be looated after awhllo unless the Russians lick him out of his boots. Then no corntiy will be desirous of claiming him.

JULIA L REYES. As we copied the original article from the Constitution, it is only fair we should oopy the following i Quite reoently, under the caption of “A Curious Case of Euthanasia,’’ we woro led, by an article in theBt. Louis Globe- Democrat, to make some very unjust and ungenerous remarks with respect to the death of Mrs. Julia L. Keyes, which took place tu Florida, some weeks ago. We had not seen the artiole in the Montgomery Advertiser, upon whioh tbo Qlobe-Dem- ocrai baaed its oomments, and what we said was based wholly npon the oomraonts of the Bt. Louis paper. Those oomments are entirely at varianoe with the article in the Advertiser upon whioh they are based. It foltowa, therefore, that our editorial, which was in some sort a synopsis of the artiole in the Bt. Louis paper, was utterly unfounded, and bad an appearance of heartlssaness which, under the oircum- stanoea, might well be mistakon for cruel misrepresentation. We take sincere pleasure, therefore, in publishing the following latter whiob bears the signature of two of the most eminent physicians of Montgomery: Montoomebt, Ala., Bept. I, 1877. Bdite/s Constitution: Dr. J. 8. Keyes and his wife, Mrs. Julia L. Keyes, whose oonduct baa been oritioiaed in a recent issue of your peper, and their large and interesting family have been long and favorably known in this community. We do not speak extravagantly when we say, that no one has ever whispered aught against their good name in any of the re lations of life. Cheerfulness under every fate, loyalty and love to honor and to eooh other sad congeniality of taste and temper have been the recognized charac teristics of the members of this truly re markable family. One, who for many years knew them in the relations of inti mate personal friend and family physi cian, has been frequently heard to say that although fortune had not Bmiled upon them with an abnndanoe of worldly goods, they were blossed with content ment, and were the happiest family he had ever known. When adversity was doing its worst all up and down our land, the furrows of its rude plowshare were never aeen upon the brows of those who dwelt under the bum ble roof of Dr. Keyes. Under tbeso ciroumstanoea, you will not be surprised to learn that your edi torial of the 29th ult.. with rogard to tho death of Mrs. Julia L. Keyes, has not only laoerated the feelings of a deeply afflicted and bereaved family, but has exoited the astonishment and shooked the sensibilities of all who knew the doctor and bis beloved wife. We do not impugn your motives, bnt we do foel that unwittingly—we must believe—you have plaoed an unfair and unwarranted construction upon the letter whioh you have notioed; and bavo thereby inflicted a most grievous wound npon the character and good name of the husband, the memory of the wife and the feelings of relatives and frlendB. As is well known in this city, Mis. Keyes has been suffering for a long time with consumption, and for woeks, nay months, there has boen no reasonable hope of her reoovery. We have written you under tbo inv presslon that in view of the forogoing considerations, and view, too, of a fair construction—after more oareful exami nation on your part—of the letter of Dr. Keyes, you will be pleased not only to publish the original letter, togethor with a withdrawal of your editorial on tbo 29th ult., but also, in justice to all ooncerned, you will oheerfully do whatever may bo in your powor to sootho the quivering nerves and bind up the wounds whioh have been laid baro and blooding by the artiole of whioh we complain. Very rospeotfully, W. O. Baldwin, M. D. J. B. Gaston, M. D. We are permitted to make this extraot from a letter of Dr. Keyes : The Nooe, Calhoun Co., Fla., ) Friday, August 10, 1877. > The shadow has fallen I At six o’olook this morning Julia died. She might bavo lived a few days longer, but I oonld not get her to take any food exoopt cream for several days and not enough stimulant— not as muob all day es she should have token at onoe. I talked with her about dying; she said she had no fear of here after—no dread only the pain of dying. Bhe begged me to give her chloroform when the time came and let her die ensy. I bad just gone out into the yard, leaving the girls making somo ohango in her dress, whioh she insisted should be done. When I returned, I found her strangling with the muous. I tried to get her to tako some stimulant, but‘she would not. Bhe begged me to give her the ohloro- form. To give it, I was afraid; to with hold it, was to' see her slowly strangle. When I found she would tBke nothing— she begged us to let her die easy—I gave her the bottle of chloroform. Bho breathed a little of it; put a few dropH on her handkerohief, then passed her hand caressingly over my beard, gasped a few times, and—a great shadow was over tho house 1 Bhe longed so to be with little Mat. Bhe seemed to forget, at times, that she had any other dear ones gone before. We buried her in the same enclosure with the dear ohild Bhe loved so fondly.

" Austin Letter in tho Ualveetou Nawi,] A News reporter visited John Weoley Hardin in the Austin jail, and moke* the following report: Tho prisoner begins to realise the pete ils of hla sitnation, and ia wary and can- tiona in replying to questions. He ia 26 years of age, very stoutly and rampsetly bnilt, weighing about 160; height five feet ten inehea, light hair and bend, and intelligent. Being caked bow many mur ders were charged against him, he said there was a great deal of exaggeration about that. "What was your first trouble?” “I don’t think it would be proper for me to tell about my killing any one; but my first trouble we* with the Yankee* and the Btate polioe.” "How many scrape* did you get into in Kansas and the Indian Territory?” "I had no trouble there. Read what you have taken down, if yon please.” Upon reading tbe foregoing to him, he said he didn't want it to start off that way; that it might appear I said I have killed somebody. I don’t went to deny, andl^don'twantto affirm. I’ve kilted any body. Please dont,'atari in that way. No I never had any trouble except in Texas. "What were you doing in Comanche when yon got in the trouble with WebbS? "I wee in the stook business, and hod a herd of 800 oattle gone to Kanaaa,and was on tbe way there, in company with Jim Taylor, my wife having gone to Ooman- ohe, where I hod a father, J. G. Hardin, and my mother and a brother, Joseph G. Hardin, who was afterward killed by * mob without any indiotmenta against him anywhere. I went there on my business, and had no idea of any trouble. But I have never had any showing in Texas. In tbs first place the Yankees and Btate police got after me and tried to arrest me without any warrant*. I never yet got into any difficulty with legal offloera; It waa always mobs or Yankees or State police. I was at Oomanohe about three weeks before the killing of Webb; was pausing my time as plesaantly as possible, not expeoting anything up to the hoar of the Webb killing; and I think if I can get tbe protection that the law should give me 1 will oome olear of killing Webb, for he fired the first shot.” “Were you over tried ?” "I never stood a trial In my life; never bad a fair showing. When the Legisla ture passed a law offering a reward for me I heard of it immediately. I nevor would have left Oomanohe exoopt for feer of tho mob—knowing that my brother aud relatives hod been hung by the mob. I have never feared the law and do not fear it yet, end am perfeotly willing to stand tho law.” In reply to questions numerous and di> versified, the following replies were given, the prisoner refusing to answer many of tho reporter’s questions: “I left Texts bofore tbe passage of law offering a reward for my arrest, was in Gainesville, Florida, when it was pasaod. Whan I left Oomanohe I went to Gonzales, passing through Austin on my ronto. I was not in Austin when tbe Fourtoonth Legislature was in session, left the Btato from Gonzales, traveling on horseback through New Iberia, ao- oompanied by a friend. It ia not neeoa- sary to mention hie name. From New Iboria I went to New Orleans, and there a mot my wife. As I was traveling I wont by the name of Walker. From New Orleans I went to Cedar Keys, Florida. I had never been there before. I did not know whether it waa a good plaoe to hide. I went there for refuge from the mob. I tad no idea then of leaving the United States; thought I wonld go to England, but I stopped at Gainesville, Florida. There I bought oat a merchant named Bam Barnett and went into the grocer; ■ business—crooeriee and liquors. No, I nevor drank rnueh. I gold out there and went to Jacksonville, Florida, taking drove of cattle, expeoting to sell to the bntobera. But there, seeing an opening; for a hntcher, I set ap a shop and wen: into the batcher business. I had oonsid eruble money when I left Texas, I ma ! led >u Jacksonville until I wps forced to leave. I stayed there from July, 1876, to July, 1876, when I was foroed to leave by deteotives having found me out. Jaok- sonvil'e was a big plaoe. It was a resort for pet pie from the North, who go down thoro to spend money. I found ont the deteotiveB at the same time they fonnd mo ont,and escaped before they could get papeis from the Governor. My wife then weet to some of her kinsfolks in the east ern portion of Florida. I went to Eutaa 1», Alabama, and finding that my wife had passed on with Gus Kennedy, I fol" lowed her to her kinsfolks. There I re mained ever since, in that portion of the oountry, about fifty miles from Penaaoola. I was following no partioular business. 1 thought it would not do to go into any settled business, and was looking out for some way of getting beyond pursuit. Sometimes I oonoluded I would come back.aud surrender, bnt waa afraid of the mob, thinking I wonld not get the pro tection of the law. I never have been in Texas since 1874, and can prove it. have not been anywhere exoept in Florida end Alabama, and I do not know anything about the murders they oharge me with in that time. No, I wss not baok in DeWitt oounty. I don't want to say anything about tbe DeWitt oounty mnrdor. Never helped to break a jail in all my life, bnt I took legal prooeas and got men out; bnt if a man WAS not a man of honor I never helped him at all. I never had anything to do with hone thieves or robbers; I always avoided them I had nothing to do with them in an; shape or fashion. On the other hand, have tried to bring thorn to juatioe. oould name instances but don’t feel dis posed. I don't know Longlay or any of those parties; have no acquaintances of that kind. They have done all manner of crimes and than laid them on to me; but I never had anytbiog to do with them, always went on my own hook. No, never waa the leader of any band, and never wcb with sny large party, exoept to lead a party down in DeWitt end Gon zales, and that difflonlty was settled by both parties signing a pledge that they wonld lot the. matter alone end that neither party would take arms only for legal purposes, wbiou agreement I have kept np to the present hoar. I quelled that trouble when I was at tbe head of one of the par ties. I never helped mob any one; no one was killed when we made that agreement. Tho papore were signed peacefully, and no odo waa murdered. When they ar rested me the other day they kidnapped ino and bad no papers. No paper was shown me nntil I got to Montgomery. I got out a writ of habeas oorpns there, bat the Judge bad not nerve enough to stand by tbe law, so they kept on to Texes with mo. I havo never seen any indiotment; don’t know what the charge* are. I think they want mo for Comanobe. They have said so. I am not afaid to go there, ex oept from the mob It I can get pro tection from the Governor against tbe mob I am willing to go; more than will ing to abide by the lew. I hope the Gov ernor thoroughly understands the Co manche mob. No, I never threatened Senator Stephens or any. Representative; nevor did it. When Stephen* had tbe bill passed offering a reward for me, and waa rasoared of bis life, Iwaa not here in Ansi in, and wonld not have hurt him, for I did not know anything against him in r irticuiar. If I had wanted to hurt him could have managed ram* plan to get 1 never threatened him. They were ell false reports, or else he had e guilty oonaoienoe. I we* bom in Fannin oounty, Texes. Lived in Trinity and was raised in that oounty, in the town of Sumter. I was bronght up under striot discipline. My father died eboot a year ago. My mother alive yet; but I have not heard from her direct for three years. I don’t know where she is. I went juatioe. I want to be dealt with aooording to law. All I oak is legal protection against mobs. The charge against me in Gonzales oounty was an attempt to mnrder a Btate polioe man. ro named John Laskey. I hope the >eople of Oomanohe oounty, knowing tow badly I have been treated, trill give me juatioe, and not be afraid to turn me loose, aa I never undertook to revenge the death of my mobbed brother. Hardin refused to go into the particu lars of the killing of Jack Helm end sever al Btate polioemen and Yankee soldiers, attributed to him, or to detail his connec tion with the fend in DeWitt, or to admit any of the murders in Ken*.* and else where, whiob it is popularly believed he oommitted. There ere some seventy prisoners in the Austin jail, and among them several very desperate eriminala, as anxious to eaepe aa Hardin oan be. Tbe oounty Judge haa given notloe to the jailer that the oounty would not pay a oent for guards, and aa eseapea have been made horn the same ail, it is not altogether improbable that Hr. Hardin will yet have a ohanoe to get at the Senator from Oomanohe. AH HEIN WANTED, A FOBTUEB OF ONI HUHDBBD AMD EIGHTY MILLIONS LTINO ABOUND LOOSE. A letter haa reoently been reoeived by tbe Chief of Polioe at Denver from Lake Addle, McLeod county, Minnesota, signed by H. O. Giitner, asking for information of his brother, Amos C. Giitner, whose ireaenoe ia requited to prove a claim to ;he estate of his great-grandfather, said to amount to abont $180,000,000, the heirs having been advertised for by the Government of Holland. He also for wards a letter to be banded over to his brother aa soon aa bis address ia ascer tained, in which, after partlonlarizing their relationship to Catherine Oanb Kate Webber, the wife of John Franois Giit ner, be informs him of there being other heirs in Pennsylvania and New York city, who bad met at Trenton, N. J., and appointed their seoond oousin, E. B. Humphrey, aa their agent, and that a letter bad been reoeived from him at Amsterdam, stating that be had found everything oorreot, and that all heirs muBt prove their indentity at onoe. After regretting that a mutual 00-opera tion between the respective families had failed, he wishes lo know if h'l brother will join him in scouring their share, which be estimated to be about one twen. ty-fifth of the whole amount, their being abont twenty heire, including seven chil dren of their great-grand-father. He does not think there will be any trouble in traoing their line, as tbe other branch of the family have succeeded in bringing the reoord down to their grend-fatner, and urges Amoa to lose no time in 00m- mnniosting, as a meeting of the heirs is to be held in the Fall. It is (apposed that the loat heir, if alive, will be heard from, aa there are several residents of Denver who remembered Amoa O. Giitner and hia having engaged himself aa a mi ner in Colorado some years ago.
