Mr. Hardin reports that the nomination
of candidates for the legislature is a little

four senatorial districts have nominated ,
thus far and only about a hundred couu- j

ever, is now increasing rapidly.

I'rolmbly Without Foundation.
Atlanta, August 30.—Reports that in
surance men would not take risks on cot
ton unless baled in jute bagging seems to
be without foundation, tio far as the com
panies interested are concerned the agents
of the insurance companies at Wilming
ton, N. C., seem to be the only ones taking
that stand, and they are the only local
agents witli no power in the Southeastern
Tariff Association, which regulates such
matters. Prominent officers iu that asso
ciation said today there was no
reason why cotton cloth or any
substitutes for bagging should be used;
mate friends before their noted quarrel,
but had not spoken since their meeting
with pistols, when, it is said, May
committed the grievous fault of nervous
ly firing before the word was given,
whereupon Bennett fired into the air.
When May was told that Bennett had
volunteered to set him free, he at first re
fused to accept the service from him. But
he had no money of his own, as he lives on
a much reduced income from an inherited
and guarded fund. His relatives were un
able to raise the amount, and his friends
in New York were slow. His counsel
gave him no hope ot escape from the
penitentiary if he stayed | for trial.
Flight was his only chance for it.
May swallowed his pride and accepted his
enemy’s help. Bail was given, and May

burnable stuffs that could be used, and that
so far as the insurance companies were
concerned, any substitute would be al
lowed. Wilmington merchants say they
will not take cotton except in bagging.
On tho other hand, Charleston factors’
telegrams to cotton planters of Wilkes
county, in this shite, urge them to send
their cotton to Charleston, and say they
will receive it in cotton cloth or any other
substantial substitute. In North
Carolina (lino cloth, such as
matting is made of, is being used. In
north Georgia some factories are buying
tainable, but the belief is that he went in a
sailing vessel to Buenos Ayres, aud thence
by steamer to Paris. It is certain that he
met Bennett in that city, and was seen in
his company by several acquaintances.
They seemed to be on friendly terms.—

Ban Francisco, August 23.—According
to Coi. Archer Mason, General Sheridan
once had his life saved in an odd way.
Col. Mason’s regiment was once giving the
cotton done up in pine boards. In other general a reception at the California thea-
pl&ccs, non-combustible cotton cloth is

Atlanta, August 30.—Specif 1 ; Mr. It.
T. Dow, “Dick,’’ as his fuends call him,
the republican elector for the fifth con
gressional district, is very indignant at the
onslaught which is iust now being made
on him by Atlanta democrats. His mel
low voice was heard on:the street corners
to-day, vigorously denouncing the attack
made on him and threatens to make a rt
ply that will effectually squelch these po
litical enemies. He stated to-day that he
will be heard from soon, but not in the
columns of the Atlanta press. The In
dianapolis press will have the honor of
giving to the public first Mr. Dow’s state
ment of his side of the momentous con
troversy. He ;affirms with emphasis the
truth of the statement made by him con
cerning his conversation with Mr. Bynuin,
and tho utterances of the Indiana states
man on that memorable occasion.
The public is anxiously awaiting the
hour when Col. Jim Gray, the democratic
elector in this district, and Col. Dow get
each other by the collar on the hustings.
The campaign cannot really be considered
opened until this event ocours. The cham
pions are pretty well matched.

Mr. E. T -
ter. Sheridan was standing in fche wings,
peeping out beside the curtain at the audi
ence, when he suddenly pointed to one of
the musicians and asked Mason:
“Isn’t that man named Blyth?”
On being told that he was he asked to
have him brought up oaithe stage at once.
After a cordial greeting, which almost
wrung the musician’s hand off, Sheridan
said:
“I have good reason to remember Mr.
Blyth, for be saved my life for me once.
It was when I was a young cavalry officer,
fighting tho Indians. Blyth wps a private
in my troop. One day we were having a
hand-to-hand set-to with the Indians, and
one of the red devils had just shot at me
with his revolver. I had my saber very
close to his neck when another Indian
threw his lasso around my neck, and in
another instant I would have been
trampled under the feet of the horses.
But Blyth, who was close beside me, cut
the rope with his saber and saved my life.”

1566 convicts. 199 of the number serving a
life sentence. The large majority of
these life convicts were of
course sent up for the crime
of murder. Your correspondent asked the
assistant keeper what counties contribute
most largely to the penitentiary. From
his statement it appears that the county
of Calhoun takes the lead, now having
credit on the books for 163 couvicts.
The uoxt highest is Faitou. with 133 con
victs; Muscogee, with 55; Bibb 54; Rich

state are not represented. These are.
Towns. Colquitt. Murray, Johnson and

The house then went into committee of
the whole, Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, in
the chair, on the Oklahoma bill.
The pending amendment was that of
fered by Anderson, of Iowa, providing
that honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors of the war of the rebellion shall be
permitted to enter lands in the proposed
territory without payment of the purchase
price provided by the bill. After some
time had been spent in securing a quorum
the amendment was rejected—?2 to 92.
The committee rose informal'y in order
to allow McCreary, of Kentucky, to report
from the committee on foreign affairs a
substitute for the Wilson retaliation bill,
and he gave notice that he would call it up
for consideration Saturday next.
Mr. Spnnger hoped that the members of
the house would appreciate the impor
tance of the subject sufficiently to be in
thtir seats while it was considered.
The bill was ordered printed and recom
mitted, and Mr. McCreary stated that it
would be reported back Saturday.
The committee on the Oklahoma bill
then resumed its settbig. The entire after
noon was consumed in an unsuccessful ef
fort to secure a quorum to vote upon the
amendments offered, and without action
the committee rose.
Mr. McCreaiy, of Kentucky, asked con
sent to have the retaliation bill made the

No Yellow Fever There.
Atlanta, August 30.—Dr. Baird, presi
dent ot the board of health, denies most
emphatically the iamor that there is yel
low fever here. There are no eases aud
operate
strongly agaiust the Georgia Pacific rail
road. Atlanta still maintains a strict in
spection of trains from the south, but this
is almost a farce, as there is scarcely auy
travel from the south. It looks as if every
body who can get out of Jacksonville has
left,' hence the lack of travel.

The Retaliation B* 1 '.
Washington, August 30.—The commit
tee on foreign affairs to-day, Mr. Belmont
presiding, received the report of the sub
committee on the retaliation bill. The
chairman said in these questions the com
mittee had always acted without regard
to partisanship, and he hoped it wou'd
continue to do so. He referred to the fact
that the bill introduced by himself two
years ago, containing a restrictive railroad
provision, had been adopted bv the house
almost unanimously, though tne railroad
section was subsequently stricken out.
Tne senate committee to-day unanimously
adopted the amended bill reported by the
their places with confederates; that the
work ot the office is largely in arrears; that
he improperly had access to the record of
the evidence as it was taken by the com
mittee; that he practiced rank favoritism
in the awarding of contracts; that he 's
not a practical printer, and that he has, by
false figures and statements, imposed upon
congress and the country. The report
defends Rounds’ administration as honora
ble, conscientious and able, and in conclu
sion declares that enough violation of the
law and evidences of incompetency has
been shown by the testimony to warrant
tne immediate removal from office of T.
E. Benedict, the present public printer.
The Republican Tat iff Bill.
Washington, August 30.—The republi
can senators held a conference at Senator
Edmunds’ residence this evening from 7:30
to nearly midnight. It was well attended
and the tariff was the only subject con
sidered. Senator Allison said to a group
of reporters at midnight that the details
of the bill had been discussed, and that a
harmonious conclusion had been reached
in regard to every issue. •
“You can say, gentlemen,” he con
tinued, “that we shall report a bill in six
teen days if possible. Let’s see; this is
Thursday. We shall report it Drobably on
Monday or Tuesday week.”
“Will you please give us a few of the
important details?”
“Well- not this evening, young man.
We shall continue the hearings diligently
for the next ten days aDd then, if possible,
report a bill at once. That is all I am at
liberty to say.”
“What about the president’s message?”
“The message was not referred to once
during the evening.”
From other senators it is learned that
lumber and salt remain unchanged; that
sugar is cut about one-halt, and that there
is a strong disposition to slightly increase fhere* are striking Exceptions to'this''rule,'

New Orleans, August 30.—A special to
the Picayune from Jacksonville, Fla.,
says: The situation to-day is not only no
better, but rather worse. The great jump
iu the number of new cases caused dismay
among the people left in town, and the
trains out were crowded from 10 to 2
o’clock. Health certificates are now issued
daily by the board of health. It has been
decided here by the auxiliary association
to try to get the people to move out to the
camp so as to depopulate the place more,
aud Dy this means endeavor to check the
fever’s course. The poor who are unable to
go will be assisted,and every effort made to
get rid of a large number of our people.
New cases to-day sprang up right and left,
and the prospects are good for an increase
in the number of cases to-night. Thirteen
cases were reported up to noon with three
deaths. This raoid increase helps on the

Tom Alexander. Some countrymen, somewhat
over dosed with brainwater, got into a row.
When matters got a little hot one of
them drew a pistol and threatened
an indiscriminate use of the dangerous
wearion. Tom at once sung out some police
music. The officers at once responded to the
call, and ai rived just in time to receive the pistol
man, who made a break for the door, w .th open
arms. A tussle then ensued,;which ended by the

New Youk, August 30.—Hubbard, Price & Co.'s
cotton circular says: Liverpool came this morn
in#.* one point advance, aud our market opened
at about the close of yesterday. People who were
on tip-toe of expectation w-ith regard to any de
velopments, were destined to be disappointed in
a measure, as the final close of the deal at 11.25
was mild and gentle, compared with the atta n-
able possibilities of the clique; and in thiB con
nection, it is fair to say tiiat the gentlemen in
whose power it was to take an advantage of their
position, are deserving of much credit for
the moderation they have displayed throughout.
September contracts have been well maintained,
the absences of notices having inspired renewed
confidence. As manufacturers abroad are appa
rently anxious to replenish their stocks, aud its a
fair prediction, in view of the general situation,
that their September cotton will cost them 10

A TWO-SIDED CHARACTER.
Light Turned On.
Considerable light has been turned on the
movements of the burglars by certain transac
tions which occurred in connection with th* in
vasion of Mr. Justice’s store. When Mr. Cox left
to hunt a policeman, knowing tnat there was a
burglar in the store, he met a man standing on
the -aiac side of the street. In passing Mr. Cox
spoke to him and said, “Th--re is a burglar ia
that store: watch it until I find a policeman."
The fellow replied that he would, and Mr. fox
walked on. Shortly after turning the
corner, the latter heard a loud,
snriil whistle. Continuing on up the street Mr.
Cox met a policeman sitting on a dry goods box,
’aikingtoa white man. Having informed the
policeman of the circumstances, both returned
to tne store. The fellow who broke into the
store had fled and the man who was seen on
the sidewalk had also disappeared. The
inference is the latter was on the watch, the
whistle was the note of alarm, hearing which
notified the burglar of the threatened danger,
and that the third man engaged the officer in
conversation while the diaboUcal work was go
ing on.
