ATLANTA WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. NOVEMBER 20. 1877.
ROUNDABOUT IB GEORGIA.
—Mayor Huff, of Macon, refuses
become a candidate for the legislature,
and declares himself for Colonel Jones,
of the Macon Telegraph. There seems
to be no doubt that the colonel will
have an opportunity to test the cor
rupting influences of Atlanta as a U'
maker. According to his idea, theie in
fluences are of such a nature that the
average legislator cannot withstand
them, hut in our opinion, the colonel
will he something more than an aver-
rge legia ator.

county recently, a colored wf.rnan went
into a uliin to hunt a needle,carrying
a torch to facilitate the search. In
short time afterwards, the cabin was
ditscovered to be in flames, and before
two negro boys, who were sleeping
in the house, could be rescued, the
ro» f fell in, and they were burned to
death.

mond, Wm. M. Keese, Robert Toombs,
Alexander H. Stephens, and other emi
i.cnt men whom the whole state knows,
write in favor of Atlanta and siirn their
names. The Milledgeville defenders
seem a. hamed of their own offspring;
hut nobody can blame them for that;
the jKior Ihings arc so puuy.
—The Dalton Citizen says that the
corn crop of Murray is said to be the
largest made in that county for vears,
many farmers averaging as high us fifty
and seventy five bushels to the acre.
One farmer in the northern portion of
the county gathered twohundred bush
els «.ll two acres. The crop in Whit
field county, though not a* heavy, is
the largest made for years. No danger
of starvation in that county.

he moved to this state, and although
the frosts of a century have silvered his
locks atili he has not the appearance of
extreme old sge. He still wears an
abundant crop of hair; his form ia erec*;
his teeth tolerably good; he moves
about quite sprvly, and his eye-eight is
quite good. I held a copy of the At
lanta Coxnmmov in my hand,
*t.d be took it and read the
fine print of that paper easily, with
out tne aid of glasses. He lives about
one mile from the village.’ When
asked if he could wal* from his resi
dence to Hogansville, he replied
promptly: “Yea: and 1 can watk from
LaGracge there.” The distance from
here to II gansville is about fourteen
miles. All ms functions seem to be
going on well, and he is ;n the average
enjoyment ol life. His wife is not
quite so old, she being not far from
ninety, hut has the appearance of being
much younger, is hearty and enjoys
life quite we 1. For neariy'ihree-quar-
ters of « century, has thia remarkable
couple lived together as man and wife.
Mr. Boyd is unquestionably the oldest
man in the county, and perhaps in the
state; and from every appearance the
indications are that he may still live
tnany years.

Allow me space in your valuable paper
to give a short history of the hfe and
death of Mrs. Mohn, who died on the

cancer on the tongue, and from which
she suffered greatly. This revered old
lady was born near Peterabury, Va, in
the year 1786. She moved from there
to North Carolina, and married at the
age of 14 years. She moved some years
afterward to Jackson county, Georgia,
where she remained to the year 1K30,
at which time she moved to the south
ern part of Cobh county. In tne year
1&17 Mr. 3lobon, her husband,
uied. She joined the Meth
odist church in the year ol
I8-T2, at a camp meeting in Carroll
county, being a member of the church
in good standing for 25 years Hie
came to the conclusion that immersion
was essential to salvation and a as im
mersed at Lost Mountain by the Rev.
James Green in the year 1857. Since
mat time she has been living with Mr.
Adam Dobbins, who has done honor to
iumseii and his lamily also by their

—The New York Herald prints a
lonz letter from Henry M. Stanley, the
African explorer, the main points of
which have been anticipated by tele
graph. In this letter Mr. Stanley pre
faces his introductory to the story of
the great march and canoe voyage from
Nyaagwe to the Atlantic ocean, via the
Congo or Lualaba river, by correcting
an erroneous impression as to the pro
priety of calling it the Congo. He says
the territory of Congo is of a very lim
ited aiea, and lies southward of the
lower section of the river and between
the rceaii and a range of mountains
which border on the great inland Afri
can basin. As many names are given
to the river from its source downward
as there are distinct tribes inhabiting
its barks, and he declares that for
Ideographical purposes the proper name
ts that given it by Livingstone, who
first discovered it—that is, the Lnalaba.
The Lualaba is a much larger and more
important river than the Nile; it rises
near Lake Bangweolo, in latitude
degrees south, flows north to the
equator, and then southeast to the At
lantic. At Nyangwe its flow is 124.000
cubic feet per second; from Bonrce to
month it is 2,900 miles long, and it
drains 860,000 square miles of country.

Washington, November 17.—A can

at the ctpitol this afternoon. There
wa*a full attendance, os tbe prooceed-
icgi were expected to be cf the ntenoa;
interest and importance. Mr. Ed

who wait.Mi on the president last Tuee
day evenirg to acquaint him with the
general tenor and bp:rit of the republi
can senators in the last caucus con-
gave to the caucus to-day
count of what occurred at that inter
view.
THX RESPONSE OF MR. HATES.
They reported that the pres dent,
in response to their statements
of the wide-spread uneasiness and
dissatisfaction which had been created
among his party frieuds by his ap
pointments oi democrat* to southern
offices, etc., had argued that his policy
iu this regard was not prejudiced to the
interest of the republican party and
certainly not adopted by him from any
want of earnest desire for the perpetu
ation and maintenance of republican
power. On the contrary it was his ex
pectation and belief that tbe pursuance
of this policy would promote
CONDITION OF THE OLD WHIGS,
aud various other elements naturally
opposed to the democratic party in the
south, and eventually secure six or
eight southern states for the republi
cans. All the senators who were pres
ent at the interview, expressed them
selves to the caucus as convinced that
the president was thoroughly sincere
in this belief. They also reported that
the president said he wa9 very desirous
to be in harmony with
THE LEADERS CF THE PARTY,
and was gratified to have had the op
portunity of aic?rtaining thus definitely
and clearly the views which had been
expressed in the caucus Advice anu
candid criticism would always be wel
come to him, and, iu closing, he tmd he
hoped and believed that there would be
less cause for complaint in the future.
Iu any event if there should be differ
ences of opinion there need be no occa
siou for ill feeling, and he trusted there
would De none after the reports of
which tbe foregoing statement is a cor
rect though brtef summary—had beeu
made to the caucus.
A FUSE DISCUSSION
ensued as to the propriety and the
probable effects of the piesiaent’s poli
cy in case it should be acquiesced in
by the senate. The interchange of
views developed are almost unanimous
in the opinion that the policy of an
notating democrats to office in tne
south is not wise or sound. Even those
senators who are most distinctively
known % as
tag him. On another time his ardent
admirers prevailed on him to stand for
t e colonelcy of the connty malitia, and
Colonel Barnett, present secretary of
state, knocked the chip off his hat with
one majority. Wherever the colonel
has lived he was regarded and esteem
ed as a quiet, g od citizen, and he now
believe* if this race was to be made in
Jack-on and Clarke, where he resided
so long, he would give Colonel Candler
close heat.

previous to the shooting took a gun
away from Moree, with which Moree
was aue.npiing to shoot him, and that

The agreement was reached with that
understanding, and the money for
nished. Bare enough, the money did
not come,and the farmer proceeded last

When he got fifty dollars worth,
told tbe deb*or he could now have ihe

WHERE IE COLUMBUS BURIED
A Question for Historians-A re Hta
A shea In the Cathedral ef Hav
or St Domingo City?
Tne following details have been
ceived respecting the news recently
telegraphed trom Havana that the body
of Christopher Columbus had been
found in St. Domingo. Hitherto all
the world has believed that his bones
quietly reposed in the cathedral at
Havana. A Dominican paper, La
Patria, published in St. Domingo City,
describes the second finding of Colnm
bus’ bones in the cathedral of Su Do
mingo City, aa follows:
The tomb was opened with all re
spect, and the bishop of Orope super
intended the taking out from it of the
leader, coffin, which was then publicly
placed upon a table so that all present
could give testimony. There were
present tbe minister of state, the
foreign consuls, the municipal authori
ties, _ the clergy, the governor of the
province, and other public officers. The
coffin was 42 centimeters long, 21J wide
and 21 deep, and bore the following in
ecription on the cover:
: D tie far A Per Ate
On the ieft side the letter C, and on
the right the letter A, and on the front
the letter C. The leaden case beii g
opened was found to contain some
bones, several in good condition, bnt
the majority had become pulverized,
without doubt belonging to the immor
tal Colu.nous, for iu the reverse of the
cover was iound the inscription, in
Gothic letters, “Ultra, y Esdo varon D.
Cristobal CjIou. *’ This must mean
“Illustrious and esteemed man, Chris
topher Columbus.”
THK TRANSFER TO HAVANA.
At the time of making the treaty of
Basilea, in 1795, with France, for ’the
ce c sion ot the island, the Admiral Don
Gabriel de AriBlizabal and the other
local authorities agreed to send the
bones of Commbns to Havana, and the
transfer was made with the greatest
pomp in the said year of 1795. At the
time, however, there was a tumor that
the Spaniards had been cheated by the
substitution of other remains for those
of Columbus, the report being that
1 hose delivered were the remains ol
Don Diego, son of Colnmbus, second
vice king and admiral of the new
world This substitution wan al
leged to have been perpetrated by a
priesk in this manner the remains
of Columbus were never temoved
from the cathedral of St. Domingo
city. The secret was transmitted from
one person to another until it came to
its l«st recipient, Carlos Nouel, son-in-
law of the distinguished Dominican,
Thomas de Bobadilla. We are assured,
ou trustworthy authority, that Mr.
Juan N. Tejora was also cognizint of
the fact. In the works recently exe
cuted in the cathedral of this city, under
the orders of the Rev. Father Bellini,
the remains of Don Louis Columbus
were found. Public opinion then be
came aroused and gave credit to the
old tradition about the discovered bones
being in the cathedral, and Archbishop
Roqne Occchia and the Rev. Father
Bellini became muen interested in the
matter and caused a search to be made,
with the result given above.)
VERY STRONG PROOFS.
Prescott and other historians are now
cited by the Spaniards in Cuba to prove
that tbe 8panieh authorities in 1795
conld not have been cheated in the mat
ter of the remains of Columbus. The
inscription, “D de la A per ATE,” the
Dominicans claim, signifies ’‘Discoverer
of America.” The Spaniards maintain
that this is absurd, as the land discov
ered in 1492 by Columbus was not then
known to Spain by the name of Ameri
ca—that name coming from America
Vespucio, who is said to have been the
discoverer of the South American con
tinent The Spanish authorities ami
historians will, ere long, have to pro-
dace all the proofs given by their ar
chives of the truth of the Let that the
remains at Havana are the bina fide
ones of the daring navigator and dis
coverer, Christopher Columbus.
COLUMBUS* LAST VOYAGE.
Columbus left Cridcz Mav 9,1502,
with four caravels, with 150 men, to
search for a passage through the sea
now known as tha.Gnif of Mexico to
the East Indies, but after much suffer
ing resumed borne, reaching San Lu-
car, Nov. *0, 1504. lie lay sick for
some months at Seville, and recovered
inly to have his claims for redress re
jected by the king, Queen Rubella be
ing now dead An oid uii’n, broken in
body, although in full possession of his
mental faculties, having, in hi* own
words “no placo to repair to except an
inn, and often with nothing to pay for
sustenance,” the discovery of the New
World, died in tbe act of repeating the
words in Latin, *‘L rd, into Thy hands
1 commit my spirit” Seven yeara af
terward a marble tomb was placed
over bis remains, with an inscription
ordered by the king.

(To Castile and Leon a New World

Death did not end his voyages. His
remains, first deposited in the convent
of St. Francis, were transferred in 1513
to the Carthusian Monastery of Las
Guevas; were taken in 1536 to St. Do
mingo and deposited in the cathedral
of that city; thence were conveyed, aa
is generally believed, to the cathedral
of Havana.

Jennie June In the Baltimore American.
The English morning wetlding,
which has of late been adop ed by our
“best” society, and obtained such a
hold as to wipe out the most cherished
traditions, has met with a set back in
the form of an opposition “American”
rat eclat by
families in
the arrangement of recent nuptials.
* lie “English” style, in fact, baa its
disadvantages. In the firat place the
bridesmaids, often numerous, have no
attendants,for there are no groomsmen;
and the possibilities of a little flirtation,
and future acquaintance growing out
of the commingling of white silks with
kid gloves, cake, and orange blossoms,
are all lost. The bridesmaid has liter
ally nothing except a bouquet or cheap
locket to compensate her for the trouble
and expense of preparation consequent
upon seeing one of h6r friends petted
and admired as a bride, while she her
self is left unnoticed and uncared for.
The no cards and cakes” also has
its difficulties. They served a double
purpose of explanation and friendly
attention to distant friends and near
acquaintances, which saved
amount of trouble and heart burning.
Then the English custom not only per
mits but authorizes the bridegroom to
wear an informal costume, in striking
contrast to the elaborate dress of the
bride,and which seems neither respect
ful to her nor the gorgeous arrayed
friends who have been invited to be
present at the tying of the nnpti&l
knot All these considerations have
finally arrayed themselves into decided
objections, and culminated in a revival,
as before remarked, ot the
old fashxom d full dress “Ameri
can” ceremony. At such wed
dings tbe br.desmaids are attended by
an equal number of groomsmen, all of
whom, as well as tbe groom, are attired
in tall evening dress. The cake ia re-
h to red to its proper place of honor npon
ihe well supplied supper tab'e, and the
bride cuts tbe first piece, according to
ancient custom. Wedding cake and
wedding cards are sent around to each
friends a id acquaintances as are not
present at the wedding, which dees not
tnke place at chnrch in the morning,
but at the home of the bride in the
evening, and ia immediately followed
by tbe reception. The latter is better
and more truly in acc'nrdance with old
fashioned ideas, for the bride is usually
worn out with f-rigue and excitement,
and no condition to be harried to a
railway train and made to encounter
the discomforts of night travel.
