The editorial published in the En-
qUlRER-SUN Thursday moraine in regard
to increasing the salary of the Governor of
Georgia has caused a great deal of com
ment in this city. On his rounds over the
city yesterday a reporter talked with a
large number of gentlemen upon the sub
ject, and all agreed that a salary of $3(00 a
year was intirely too small for the (>over-
nor of a great fitaU; like Georgia. Some
of the gentlemen with whom the reporter
talked think that $10,000 a y«*r is , nienii .
too much for the salary of Governor of the

with bis baud folded across his breast, lie
the remains of Bill Whitley, the notorious

no! in such style as becomes the mansion
provided by the Siate for its Governor, nor
as tbe Chief Majistrateof this State should

Whitley had seated himself on a chair

Mr.’ Rice, of Minnesota, presented the
report of the special committee, which
has investigated the charge against Rep
resentative Stahlnecker, of New York, in
connection with the new library building.
The report says that the testimony is
very fud and the examination was given
considerable latitude, greater, perhaps,
than the matter a k issue would strictly
warrant in support of the charge. The
committee is unanimous in the opinion
that the evidence does not sustain the
in order to provoke the corner, and in this
the country demand for cotton goods is
slow.
The conservative iron market is quoted
stronger at Pailadelphia. but weaker at
Pittsburg, and Thomas & Co. continue to
make larger sales at unchanged prices.

ny : “The salary of the Chief Magistrate of
Georgia is ridiculoualy small. It ought not
to be less than $5000. I certainly endorse
your editorial.”
Hon, L. F. Garrard: “The salary now
received by the Governor of Georgia places
that office beyond the reach of a poor man,
and breast, one buckshot gwing into his
right jaw and dIo wing completely through
his head.
This brought him to his knees, or he

IT OUGHT TO UK TEN THOUSAND.
Col. F. G. Wilkins: “The salary of the
Governor of Georgia ought to De $10,000 a
ycur.”
Hon. W. A. Little: “I think the salary
of the Governor of Georgia oughu bj all
means, to lie increased. A man ot moder
ate means can not afford to hold the office
and maintain its dignity properly on a sal
ary of $3,000 a year.”
Mr. II. H. Epping, President of the
Chattahoochee National Hank: “Georgia
is able to pay her Governor a decent sal
ary and she ought to do it. Five thousand
dollars a year is little enough. I think.”
Mr. N. N. Curtis: Georgia is a big State
and ought to pay her Governor a good
salary. The Governor of the State has
more cares and responsibilities resting
upon him now than twenty years ago. As
the Chief Executive of a great State, he is
expected to entertain and show hospitali
ties to dignitaries of other States. His
salary certainly ought to be more than
$3000 a year.”
HE GETS NO SALARY AT ALL.
Judge Porter Ingram: “The Governor of
Georgia gets no salary at all, for a Gov
ernor. The Constitutional Convention that
fixed t he salaries was afraid of spending a
dollar. I was a member of that conven
tion and made a proposition during its
session to sell the Executive mansion aud

it was voted down.”
Col. Lionel C. Levy: “The onerous duties

Mr. J. Kyle: “I think the salary of the
i iovernor of Georgia should be $10,000.
That is no more than the services he ren
ders aud the dignity oftheofflee demand.”
Col. W. L. Tillman: “As a rule I am not
in favor of extravagant salaries, but it
seems to me that the Governor of Georgia
should receive at least $5,000 a year.”
Col. Louis Hamburger: “ I am in favor
of selling the Executive mansion and rais

the office of perquisites and pay the Gov

Col. E. E. Yonge: “ The salary of the

his sweetheart the predicament he found
himself in, and started to walk out into
the country.
Constables were watching his move*

session a warrant for his arrest for obtain

lowed him into a small strip of woods,
where they found him sitting upon a log.
They asked him if he could settle the bills.
His only reply was to put his hand in his
pocket and take out a revolver,
and before the astonished rustics
knew what he was about, placed
it to his left breast, pulled the trigger and
sent a bullet through his heart. Miss
Matteson heard the news while prepar

informed of the occurrence, but was soon

against Ives and Stayner, on trial for em
bezzlement of property of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton railroad, and di
rected tne jury to return a verdict of not
guilty. Ives aud Stayner left for New York
this afternoon. There were two motions
pending, one to rule out certain accounts
and books offered by tbe prosecution, and
the other to dismiss the case for want of
evidence to establish guilt. The Judge
did not pass upou the first motion, as he
found that the testimony wholly failed to
establish a case of grand larceny, which
was one of the couuts ot the indictment,
and also that it was not sufficient to make
out a case of embezzlement. Prosecutor
Pugh excepted to the decision, and gave
notice that be would appeal to the Su

The amount of the liabilities could not be
learned to-day. One of the members of
the firm was seen, and declined to even es

party, it was estimated that they would
reach the millions. A member of the firm
assured the superintendent of the ex

thought, with the Cnicago wheat squeeze.
Miserably Bad Wort
Washington,Sept. 28.—As investigation
of the construction of the new aqueduct
tunnel progresses, the more flagrant and
criminal appears the fraud. A large num
ber of holes have beeu drilled through the
Hold* Positions in Two Bank* and
TSim Both to Advantage.
Boston, Sept. 28.—Last April, Bank Ex
aminer Getchill thought he detected some
thing wrong in the dealings between the
National Union Bank, of Fall River, and
the Union Savings Bank of the same city.
Both banks had offices in the same build
ing, and the cashier of the former had the
position of treasurer in the latter.
Getchill has since watched these insti
tutions closely, and l,a8t night tjie evidence
of irregularity being so convincing, he de
manded Cashier Daniel G. Chapin’s resig
nation. Both banks will probably lose
heavily, but not a sufficient amount to ren
der either insolvent. Chapin was at work
to-day, endeavoring so make a portion of
the deficiency good.
Getchill is unwilling to state the precise
nature of the difficulty or estimate the
probable loss to either bank. He says
there has been a deal of bad stuff passing
back and forth between the ftwo institu
tions, and the trouble dates back many
years. There appears to be no disposition
to place Chapin under arrest.
I^Cashier Chapin’s offense was irregular
ity In issuing loans. He loaned money
with the knowledge of his directors upon
securities not approved by the bank ex
aminer, and to cover this action, had trans-
improved the mail fumigating station at
La Villa Junction, both as to the location
and manner of the work done. All mail
and baggage going out of Jacksonville is
as thoroughly disinfected as it can be
done at Waycross.
WHERE THE FEVER 18.
It is believed now that there is no yel

Decatur, Sept. 28.—Only one case of

and since then nothing has been heard.

very unfair to characterize, them as dis

the people are responsible for this. And
if tne working men and the farmers

In conclusion, let me say that Cleveland
has proved himself a National character,
and no National Executive has ever failed
to receive a second term. The Adamses,
father and son, Buchanan and Johnson
represented a class. They, were super
seded by Jefferson and Jackson, Lincoln
and Grant—National men—who were all

Constitution would permit, just as Grover
Cleveland will be re-elected because he

CANALS FOR COAST DEFENSES.
Admiral Luce's Novel Trip May be Pro
ductive of More Than Mere Pleasure.
Washington, Sept. 28.—The excurison
of Admiral Luce in the steam launch
Vixen through the canals from New York
to Norfolk, although undertaken mainly
for pleasure, may lead to highly important
results. The Admiral’s trip has attracted
the attention of men interested in inland
navigation, and has furnisned a practical
demonstration of the fact that our inland
lines of water communication on the
Eastern coast may be utilized for purposes
of national defense, as well as to promote
the growth and general interests ot com
merce.
It is thought that this might be accom
plished by widening and deepening the
canals so as to admit of the easy passage of
the largest vessels, and that the present
system of canals might be extended to Al
bemarle and Pamlico sounds at acompara
tively small expenditure of moDey. It is
probable that Secretary Whitney will re
quest Admiral Luce to write out a report
of his novel trip, together with his views
iff reference to the practicability of utiliz
ing the canals for the national defence.
It is not unlikely that at the next ses-
sion of Congress an effort will be made to ; ^ifl be”betterable toieav
Large Attendance on the Second

Hamilton, Sept. 28.—The second and
closing day of the Harris County Fair
opened with gre.u enthuiiai a. Tae
weather wa* magnificent, tne attendance
large and the number of exhioita greatly
increased over that of tbe first day. The
departments were all well represented,
and the exhibits of agricultural proiucts
and fine stock were surprisingly good.
The departments of home industry, fan
cy and needle work and art, were a credit
in every way to the 1 idies of tbe c maty.
Notable in the needle work department'
was an embroidered quilt made in 1810 by
a Harris conn y lady, fro n c >tt > t oioked
from the seed by hand and then spun at

In the afternoon tha B nri of Directors
of the Harris County Agricultural Society
held an important meeting an i invited to
confer with thorn Directors Willi uni and
Gabriel, Superintendent Hunt and Sacre-
tary Gordon, of the ChaUahooch e Valley
Exposition Company. The subject of the
county’s exhibit at the Expw.tion was
fully discussed and all the details arranged,
and Harris county will attend the Exposi
tion in a body, and not only try to carry
off tbe $1000 premium, but will be prepared
to advertise her resources in a way to at
tract to her borders many people from the

Quite a crowd came up from Columbus
to attend the fair to-day. Harris county
