The Burlington Hawkeye trutbfolly

Thia ia correct. The fu tore bolda the

Tin Burlington Hawkeye wanta the

Tub truly great and good Dr. Felton
baa made two miatakee in the cam'

aneered at George Lester’s empty
sleeve and endeavored to prove that
beia a dishonest man. Really, we
thought the doctor knew hia ground
better than this.
De Feltoh, in getting up his certifl

The work ol cuttings channel through
the ledges of rock la the bed ol the
Tennessee river between Bainbridge
and Florence, a distance of sis miles, ia
progressing favorably. There are in
the six miles only eight hnndred feet
of rock to be cat through. The width
of the cut is one hundred and fifty feet.
The surveys of the government en
gineers have established the fact that
he rock in the bed of the river ia
not of indefinite dep'h as has
generally been mourned, but that it
variaa (ram two to six feetinthickneaa,
lying on gravel or mod, which will be
removed by the current alter the rock
a blasted oat. The plan adopted by
the engineer In charge is to drill holes
entirely through the ledge, in which to
unk cartridges of dynamite, that break
.he rock into piecee which can bo lifted
by the derricks. It is estimated that a
further appropriation by congress ol
$500 000 will suffice lor the completion
f the work within the next two years,
thus extending the Mississippi navigx
ioa to Knoxville.
As soon as the work at Muscle Shoals
la flushed, the work ol connecting the
Tenneesee and Oooaa rivers should he
begun. The distance i»short, and the
cost of each s work bears no proportion
to the bench's that it would confer upon
the people of Alabama. A still lee
c stly canal wonld then extend the
Tennessee river to the Ocmnlgee and
the coeat ol Georgia. This would
give the people of Georgia, 8ruth Caro
lina and Florida cheap transportation,
which ia all they need to insure them
p oeperity and independence. It would
open op the iron bods of north Georgia,
nd give sooth Georgia the products
that she needs at the lowest possible
cost.
Let no one imagine that we are die
coaling an impossible or an Improbable
scheme. The surveys of the govern
ment have demonstrated that it is
in every respect a feasible scheme; and
we may be rare that the heavy expen
ditures at Muscle S loale will be made
to bear fruit by a linking of the wateis
of the Tenneesee with those of the sea
board. Such a water way is greatly
needed, and concert of action on the
part of the southeast can and will
secure it. Its cost would bo bata par
tial offset to the immense expenditures
of the general government in the north'
era states.
They also hold that coin would seek
the treasury instead of the more con
venient greenbacks—that. In other
words, the gsvenmeent would not be
asked to redeem its appreciated notes;
that instead of a decrease in the
amount of the circulation, each a
movement wonld bring ont the seen*
undated gold of the country to circu
late aide by side with greenbacks. Thia
of course presupposes that the secreta
ry will have the courage to receive
greenbacks in payment for duties.
The secretary’s programme will not,
however, become known until he bis
sscertained what bia advisers in the
eastern cities want, or rather will con
sent to. The Washington Star says he
will attempt to remove the premium
on coin by indirect mesne, rather than
by the redemption of greenbacks. I’
claims to have authority for the state
ment that he will begin by disbursing
silver and small gold coins in payment
oi any current obligations of the gov
ernment. All this is, however, more
or lea conjectural. I', may, however,
be safely assumed that Mr. Sherman
will endeaver to forestall congress,
which meets in December. To do this
he may have to go outside of the law,
bat when political capital is within
reach, be has never shown much re
spect ior law. An attempt at resump
tion may therefore be expected at short
notice—always provided that the New
Yurk backers who control the treasury
office are willing. In any event he
must maintain the volume of green-
b icki at $316,681,000, and aa long as he
does that we do not see how any pre
mature resumption experiments can
prova very hurtful. Bat why did we
need a resumption set at all if the sec
rotary bad power at any time to begin
and maintain resumption T
IMPALING NOYES.
Ws are all on the high-road to “re
form.” We want economy—or what
the reformers call economy. The pub
lic schools of Atlanta are to he crippled
in order to save the money of the dear
people. A torchlight procaaaiou, with
a braes band at both ends and a trans
parency in the middle, ia in ordar. Let
tbs good work go on. If this sort of
economy is in order why not be really
economical and abolish the public
schools altogether. This would be on
the direct line ol “reform."
Da Furoa endeavored to make a
point on “Oar George” by accusing him
of parading hia wonnds and scan.
Well, why shouldn't he parade them!
They are honorable. They are evi
dances of his valor. They are proola
■hat he didn't blow a terrific blast on
the aeceeaion bugle and then tit down
at home in comparative comfort and
allow the boys, whose enthusiasm be
had aroused, to fight it out by them-
selves. Why shouldn't be parade hi<
wounds sod feel proud oi them T They
are badges of honor. He received them
in the open field of battle. Dr. Felton
is laying snares for hia own feel to tbit
buaioeaa
ova ratMiun.
Borne time ago, aa our readers will
remember, Jadge William Archer
Cocke, one ol the members oi the Flor
ids returning board, gave to the public
a statement that, upon one occasion,
he found Governor Noyes, ot Ohio,
c'oeeted with McLin and Oowgill, the
two republican members of the board,
and with Stearns, the republican can
didate for governor. In bia testimony
before the Potter committee, Noyes
gave a most emphatic denial to this, and
this denial baa drawn forth a letter from
Judge Cocke to the editor ol the Jack
aooville (F a.) Sun and Press. The
letter baa a most important bearing
upon the facts now in process of diacloa
are by the investigation. Judge Cocke
nays that the question of veracity be
tween Noyee end himself will, as fares
he Is concerned, become entirely
•rae-eided. He says he has
he evidence and will prove the truth ot
his testimony before the sub-commit
tee, and show all the troth to be on hia
aide, and all the falsehood on the aide
of Noyes, who, Judge Cocke aaya, ban
been eo well rewarded for his want ol
principle in sustaining what he mast
have known were frauda. Judge Cocke
aeye he did not expect Nuyee to ac
knowledge his perfidy, but expected
him, like most accused persons, even
on trial, to plead "not guiltyand, aa
most of them do, even after verdict by
'he jory, still declare their innocence.
This is pretty rongh on Noyes, bnt
J udge Cocke makes it still rougher. He
says that N .yea baa placed himaell
where the truth of history will fasten
on him hit deserved condemnation. Ha
will be met with testimony the trath
of which he dare not deny “ unless he
is becoming jess and less human the
longer he enjoys the fruit of bis fraud
-the friendship of the president.”
J idge Cocke concludes hi* letter, which
is a very manly one, as followe

From among Prof. Agassi's numerous
commendations we quote:
“ I have long considered Worcester’s
quarto dictionary superior to any other
work of its kind."
BMoxtt men or LkTrxas.
Worcester is avowedly preferred, at the
New York Herald (April 6,1877) states:
“The beet English writers and the
most particular American writer* nee
Worcester as their authority.”
Cimmeudstions now before us from
such distinguished writers and scholars
as Bryant, Longfellow, Whittier, Sum
ner, Holmes. Irring, Winthrop, Agav
es, Marsh, Henry, Everett, Mann,
Quircy, Felton, Hilliard, Bayard Tty-

Noyes, it will be eeen, has plunged
himself into trouble. People who lit-
with intent to screen themselves and
deceive toe public invariably get intt
trouble. As matters stand, there is no
'scape for liars and eoncoctors of fraud
fu spite of John Sherman, hia fellow-
conspirators aod hia array e f suborned
witnesses, the truth will come out at
srscis EEsuMmoN.
Secretary Sherman has given to the
public a table in which he shows the
amount of coin in the treasury on the
30th of last month. From this state
ment it appears that, exclusive oi over
$7,000,000 in fractional currency, the
treasury contains $180,231,303 in coin
of which amount over $101,000,000
actual gold coin. There are, however,
outstanding com obligations amounting
tr $ 6,747 6S0i Theieiajn fact,but $121,
000 000 properly available ss a redemp
non fund, or about 35 per cent of tbv
mtslanding amount of legal tends
Ultra. By dedoe ing the smonnt of
treenbseka held by the government in
-he coune of business, and adding to
the redemption fond the fractions
liver coins on hand, it is perhaps fai;
to ray that the secretary has a redemp
ton land equal to lorty per cent of th.
legal tenders outstanding, or about
the ratio held by the bank oi E -gland
The secretary believe* that he is nos
able to maintain specie payments, and
a* ia undoubtedly hesitating a* to
•hen and how to begin it. Hia re
cent mysterious visit to New Task
doubtless related to this bHarness; for
he seems to draw all hia ideas and
plana from Wall street. The organa
moreover urge him to begin. They
want to be able to claim daring the (at
campaign that they accomplished spe
cie resumption and alt that. They
bald that tho legal tender notes are
matured debts, tfcd that in the absence
at prohibitory legislation, the secretary
of the treasury ha* a right to pay them
if he baa the meant to meet them
failures in 187a.
The semi-annual circular of R. G.
Dun A Co.’s mercantile sg-ncy shows
there was an enormous increase in the
number of failures daring the first six
months oi the present year. For the
pur posse of comparison we group to
gether the following statement, which
will illaatrate et s glance the aiguifi
cance of the fignrte for the put six
months:

The failures for the half year just
dosed ere thus shown to be in nnrnber
over twenty-five per cent greater than
in 1877, while the liabilities indicate a
percentage of increase still greater.
In Georgia there were daring the
put six moatha_8S failures, with lia
bilities amounting to $1,623,562. against
56 failures, liabilities $703,696, daring
the first six months ol 1877. In the
s-cond quarter oi 1878 there were
iu Georgia 37 fulurea, with liabil
i'.iee of $663,772. The returns
f urn Booth Carolina and Tenneesee
show a similar increase, bat tboee from
Alabama indade 25 failures in the put
six months against 33 in the corres
ponding months of 1877. Ia this re
spect Alabama makes a finer showing
than any oi her sister states.
These figures are of very grave im
port, it taken u an indication oi the
state of trade, for, according to the
agency, never before in an eqnal period
in the history of the country, hare
business misfortunes been so numer
ous, or aggregating an smonnt of loco

the put six months than ever before,

career oi Judge Lester u a confederate

he hu been recognised u a leader
among men. As a legislator, he wu
noted lor the courage and ability with
-inch he stood np lor the rights of the
people, and for a keen appreciation oi
their necessities. He is recognised
everywhere -a a man of the people-
capable, earnest, xealons and pore. Dr.
Felton, therefore, cannot go before* the
people and claim to be the moral
mental superior ot Judge
Luster. He will have
make the campaign upon one
and only one leans—opposition to the
democracy. He will have to abase s
party which hu accomplished nothing
bnt good in Georgia; he will have to
denounce a convention that hu made
such a man u George N. Lester its
standard bearer. Be will be compelled
to appeal to all the elements ol dis

thing that goes to make up a represen

perior of Dr. Felton. It is impossib'e
that they should so far forget, what
they owe to themselves and their
friends throughout the state u to lend
their influence and give their votes to
perpetuating the discord and diaaffeo

It is not easy to measure the value of.,

can foresee what this may lead to. We,
know that she has secured India against
danger, has pacified her Mahometan
subjects in India, has checkmated Rus
sian schemes in Asia, and has made
herself a great continental power,
scarcely second to even Germany. She
has gained all thia without the loss of a
single man and at the cost of very little
money.
What has Bnssta gained oi value be

indemnity remains to be disposed of by
an agreement with Turkey, Russia
waiving her claim of priority over oth

ing an intention to take territory in
stead of cash. In fact, the Anglo-Tur-
kith treaty leaves no territory that she
can take without a disastrous war with
England. Poor Russia! did ever a in

territory, including the towns of Pirot

Heraegovioa. She annexes them while
protesting that she has no such inten-

hundred and forty guns have already
crossed the frontier, and the two prov
inces are as much a part of Austria

free, with re victualled N.csics and one

Greece takes a strip thirty miles wide

The treat) of Berlia fecks only the

of the great documents of hfetory—to
strait the time when it .hall be conven
ient tor Russia or England or some
other power to ignore its provisions
for European treaties, as all history
show*, are only binding on those who
are willing to l» bound by them or who
are too weak to break them. It
thought, however, that the treaty ot
Berlin will hold good tor perhaps
whole generation; let os there-
f;re go. hurriedly over its -pfo-
virioos, before the work of the congress
ia crowded out of view by fresh events.
The new treaty, in connection with
the new Anglo-Torkfeh treaty, when
read between the lines means simply
the downfall of the Turkish empire.
History affords no instance of s more
nearly complete carving up of s great

The above it Uem en< will rive a pretty clear
idea of bow the case now stands.
After the report of the auditor was made.
Judge Hillyer announced that he would allow
either party 90 days in which to file a
mol or KXCXmOKS,
the report. We learn that the counsel for
Mr. Jones will file such a bill, and that it wil)
be quite a lengthy and exhaustive document
It will be remembered that they have oppoetd
the entire matter of a receiver from the first,
contending that the case was not such
manded the asoataiioe of such an officer.
The case will probably come l
the October term of tneFolton superior court
when the bill of exceptions as to the
found and the question of
WHO SB UABUI
to the state for its kaaca will come up. In fact
the bottom of the case will then be reached,
it now stands the auditor has merely reported the
acts of the saae m be had found them after a long
and careful lnvtsUgs.ion. To hla ficdlfigs
ccptioQs aWfji be made, andt After the mu
counting these U passed upon, the question
liability will at once be tried. It te well known
that Mr. Jones gave
TWO BONUS
m treasurer of the state, each for $200,000. The
first wu given u soon as he took the efflee, in
Janaary, 1873.
This wu signed by John T Grant, ot Atlanta,
and C A Nutting, of Macon.
About two weeks later he gave another bond
on which appeared the names of Messrs JD
Waddell, John A Jones, 8eaborn Jones, J
Bussell and Henry L Banning.
In Notember. 1875, Gov Smith required that
Mr J one* should strengthen his bond aod failing
to do ao the governor removed him from «ffloe
and appointed MrJ W Renfroe, the present
state treasurer,to act until the legislature should
elect a sew treasurer.
Bariy In 1876 proceedings were begun against
Mr. Joqk, ana as the evidence wu so compll
cated Judge Peeples appointed Col JN Pace a_
auditor tofi:id a clear statement of the facts of
the case, and the amounts of debits
and m credits. Tne Investigation

A vast deal of labor bu been spent on It an*
the bottom facts are reached. It new

wu beaten In—a pistol ball bad be<.n aent
through her bead—her blood and brains had
stained the floor and door facing* from the front
piaxz* to the spot where she wu lying.
There wu no evidence u to who wu the mure
derer. There had been no attempt at rape or
robbery. After a abort period of suspense,
Michael Shaw wu arrested upon the affidavit of
•er of the murdered woman,

quently threatened the life ot hia wife,
and that he had been arrested for beating hex
It appears that the little daughter who had wit
nessed th* murder made time statements lead,
ing to a suspicion that Shaw had done the deed.
After Bbaw wu arrested, a young man named
Butler swore that he uw Bbaw kill hla wife. He
said that he wu standing near the bouse when
h» saw 8h*w asuuli hla wile on the piazza. He
beat her ever the head with a pine knot. She
eritd and threw up her hands, bat he still show
ered the blows on her. At last she fell upon the
floor; he then dragged her in the house. Almost
immediately after, he heard a pistol shot. Shaw
then came running out of the house with hia
pistol in his hand. He came np to wll

A general impression prevails that a* the cap*

could be loand wu received gnd the skeletons
were found and identified as the remains of
who were missed in tbs swamp in which
Shaw lived. There hu never bseu any legal
proof, hobever, on this point, as Shaw wu
never tried on them. Had he been acquitted o f

AN EARLY AND A STIRRING MEETING
The mettle ot both the men In the race can be
ad]ndged when we note how quickly Urey have
tucked arms In a deadly etrngfcle. The Ink to
hardly dry on Lester’s acceptance. He hM made
nomenai speech or two in Borne,
to-day, in response to a chaJcnge,
before It got cold, he to In
Caitersville to meet Felton oo hla own ground
and among his own friends.
The meeting between these champions, while
It was only announced yesterday, brought
large crowd to this pleasant little dty. On the
up trails' this morning squads of anxious pa
triots, a crowd of probably tiny getting on a f
Marietta. They were the friends of each candi
date. Lesteka friends being probably In exorea.
Dr Felton was in the dty early, Jogging around
among hla friends. Lester came down on the
Borne train, accompanied by about one hundred
and fifty people—the majority of th<
friends. The town wm full by the time the
for the speaking had arrived, and the court
House being unable to hold the vast crowd, an
adjournment was had to a pleasant grove.
THE FIRST GUN OP THE CAMF4IGN.
The arrangements for the speaking were very
soon made, Lester toopen in a two hour’s speech,
Felton to follow In a two hour’s speech, Lester
to rejoin In 15 minutes, and Felton to dose In
IS minutes. It witi be eeen that Lesu
under disadvantage. The crowd gathered lei
surely In the grove, aad wm scattered in group*
chatting pleasantly, when Dr Felton, wearing
loose alpaca coat, a broad straw bat and brown
linen pants, came to Judge Lester and said:
"It to already five mlnnies after the time,
fudge."
And at this, Lester smiling, stepped gallantly
on the platform. He was greeted with an unex
pectedly liberal round of appiaure, and settled
down like a man to hia work. It waa very soon
perceived that he wm fightiog around loose, and
Just humming around until he could see Fel
ton's hand. He soon wound up, however, and
got the crowd well waked up. He threw in a lot
of anecdotee,frequent bursts of elequenoe, and at
last got down to a discussion ot what he had
beard Felton Intended to attack him on. Th*
first point wm that he had supported Cole* (re
publican) against Pierce Yeung, in the campaign
of ’Si. He denied this. He explained that ow»

He then said that Felton bad become "lately*’

olid wprk. He showed that Felton wm a strong
'•cceasioutet, and helped take the state out of the
union. When the war came, and the old men
-no boys went to the field, Felton stayed _
home He didn’t even go to preach to the boys,
to guide them through the temptations of the
camp, and when they died to catch their last
message and bring it home to the old mother or

iierltaoi a aoidler’t life wm thrilling and enjoy-

He tben read from the testimony of Governo
Brown, wh-re he swore that he paid certain at
torney’s fee*, to talk the learo up. He read Lea
let's receipt for this fee of $1,000, and then for
about one hour dwelt on the ate of lobbying,
and the loss that the state sustained by the teas*
having been given to Brown’s company.
The excitement during this attack wm Intense.
Shout* ior Felton and Lester were continual.
Leeter*s friend* were very Indignant, and Fel-
ton's very labllrat. It wm felt that when
Lester** time to reply came
HE WOULD MAKS A I CRN*.
At length Felton doted, the crowd being
wrought up to the highest pitch. Lesters
friends had collected on his aide of the platform,
and m Felton dosed Lester sprang out of the
crowd and walked swiftly Into the platform,
and said:

At this the applause wm deafening. Leeter

Lester then went on In quite an impasslored

He then closed amid enthusiastic applause.

Dr. Felton then c*me up lor tbo last time.
Contrary to expectation he said he never frit in a

AS TO 1HR RWULT.
It 1s hard to my what the result of the debate
will be It Is certain that Lester Ion nothing.
I heard ot many votes that he gained. He
fought under terrible disadvantage In the first
plaoe, he wm at Felton's home, and among Fel*

line of attack to be made by Dr Felton, and
had to make the first speicb with only 15 min

held up hla corner, and those
who ought to know, claim that he gained many
votes. At any rate he haa fought hte worst bat

that Felton will do any better. He will never
