Committee of the
Democratic and (tounritti* Piny.
VonooKUT, ALA., July 34.
Dear Kir: I have your favor of the
22J In it., making inquiry u to who
wu admitted into tbe democratic leg
islative cantos.
Io order to have a proper nnder-
ttauding of this it is well to bear in
mind the object of a caucus. I may
say briefly that whenever any qneetion
arises of general interest to the party,
whether It be ibeelection of a United
States senator, or so lid tors, or the con
sideration of some general tow, it is
•ll-IAUUU WJU1C gCMMSkt Saw, Sir AO
ways desired that the party having
. majority of the body
•hall make tbe selection with-
ont any interference, aid, or sugges
tions from tbe minority party. A
meeting ol tbe members of tbe m-jor-
ity takes piece, and they si.ect
their candidate, or agree npon their
action upon the proposed l.gi elation.
When the cancos bu agreed npon a
line of action ail the persons cimpoeiog
it act togeiher in carrying it out. The
object being to ascertain tbe will or
de ire of the majority, and the major,
lty beii.g under the implied pledge to
support aud stand by that majority.
This ia the only way in whicv any
party can act harmoniously and be
ree from the dictation of their adver
saries.
Take, toe instance, the election of a
United States senator by our next gen
eral assembly. One party will have
about 110 membeni tn the two bouses;
wi bout a caucus, tbs radical and inde
pendent members might unite witb 44
democrats and elect a senator against
tbe will and choioe ol 6S democrats. It
must b • apparent to ev ry one that the
caucus ought not to admit any one to
act with them who has refused to act
witb or support tbe nominees of his
wrty in bis county. One who bu re
used to abide the ecti.in cf hie party in
hia county cannot be expected to abide
the action of the caucus. He is aa
strongly bound to support the nomi-
neeeof his party for the legislature
as the nominee for United Stales sen
ator.
W ■ . , r
wrong to redress, he ought to seek re
drees inside the oiganiaxtion. He has
no right to call npon or aeek the aid ot
radicals or independents to obtain re->
drees. . ,
The only fair or safe rule that our
caucus can or should adopt, ia to refuse
admission to any one who hu been
elected over the nominee of our party.
This is the rale and custom ol all par
ties. It wu applied in the last general
aroembly in the case o! Major Felix
Tait, senator from Wilcox, who bad
never cut s radical vote, and who came
with an untarnished record u a gentle
man. 1 may say that the elate ex-en
tire committee are and will be a unit
in using all their power and influence
to have this rule strictly enforced. Tbe
committee think it impossible to pre
serve the organizvion of our party il
the line ia not drawn sharply against
a candidate against

The Georgia Teachers’ association be
gan its
TWELFTH ANNUAL SXft-IO)
here, at Barneeville, this morning. The
attendance is pretty fur though not ao
large u wu expected. Among the dis
tinguished teachers present we notice
Professor W. T. Harris, superintendent
of public schools, Si. Louis, Mo.—one
of the beat known and most thoroughly
accomplished educators in America;
Prof. S. P. Sanford, LL D., of Mercer
university ; Dr. A. A Means, of Ox
ford ; Prof. Nias, of Griffin, and a num
ber of other college men. Tbe com
meucement exercises now going on at
Athena will prevent the attendance of
any representatives from the faculty of
the State university. School Superior
tendenta Mallon, of Atlanta, Z-tler, of
Macon, Dews, of Columbus, Baker, ol
Savannah, and Flemming, of Augusta,
are present. Tbe association aasembled
at the Gordon lnatitme, and wu
f?m.gn TO ORDER
by the president, Proferaor W. H. Bi
ker, of Savannah. Exercises were
tpened with prayer by Rsv. J. M.
Wood, pastor 01 tbe Baptist church in
thia place. Hon.S.K to vke, in behalf
of the citizens of Barceavdto, welcomed
the association in a chute, beautiful
and finely delivered address. The
speech wu admirably suited to the oc-
c.son. and to the character of thr
audience addressed. President Baker
made a graceful response in behalf of
the association, after which he read to
the association his
ANNUAL ADDKVSB,
taking for hia subject “ Benefits to be
derived from teachers' associations.”
He showed that from teachers’ associa
tions, properly conducted, three cleaeee
of benefits are to be derived—1st. The
protection of the teacher’s province
and professional rights from the en
croachments and interference of out
siders. Many matters relating to edu
cation that ought in ail justice to be
controlled by teachers, bad gotten into
the bands of dem.gognes who managed
tiiem for selfish political purposes.
Teachers have virtually no voice in
making the laws of the country, not
even those that directly concern their
own work. The state of things can be
remedied if teachers will combine In
clearly defining their rights, and in
manfnlly and persistently asserting
them. 2d. By the caretally-prepared
essays read before tbe association, and
the impromptu discussions arising
therefrom, true and philosophical ideu
are inculcated with reference to educa
tion and tbe work of teaching. 3d
The social feature of these meetings are
also prodnelive of much good. The
free and unreserved in'terminglirg of
teachers of all grades and from all parts
of the country, and their
INTERCHANGE OF IDEAS
on professional topics, ia not only ex
ceedingly pleauot, but it to improving,
inspiring and elevating. After present
ing these points fully and strongly, tbe
president went on to give some practi
cal hints u to the mode of conducting
teachers’ associations, and to punt out
reasons why our own association
baa failed to accomplish all that it
might have done. After the close o'
the president’s address, a ball hour was
spent in attending to routine business
which would be of no interest to the
public, hence is not reported.
The secretary read a letter from State
School Commissioner Orr, expieseing
bis regrets that official duties would
prevent his attending this meeting of
he association. He also urged the as
sociation to pass a reeolation petition
ing the legislature to establish
THE MOFFETT BILL PUNCH
regulation and tbe dog-tax tow for the
purpose of raising a revenue for the
state free school. The mstier was re
ferred to the committee on resolutions,
which will report to tbe association to
morrow. After a recess of ten ann
ates the association was callfed to order,
nd tbe president introduced
raop. o. M. DEWS,
superintendent of public echoois, Co
lumbus, who proceeded to read one of
the best papers that has ever been pre
sented at any meeting o' the associa
tion. The subject'was "Extremes and
Means.” He discussed first, extreme
ideia in regard to certain school
studies; second, extremes in method
of is .cl.inx; third, extremes in matters
of discipline. Prof. Diws does not at
all like some oi the m idern methods of
teaching that have recently become ao
extremely popular in all tbe echoois at
the nortn end in manv attbeeouih,
ench, for Instance, as the kindergarten
system, the “word method” of teach
ing reading, phoentica and object lee-
sods. Thu unfavorable opinion of
these methods is based upon a thor
ough test of them in the school room.
This paper waa listened to witn great
interest and made a deepimpre:eon.
At its conclusion, the president an
nounced that the subject waa
OPEN FOR DlfCCSBION,
whereupon quite a lively debate en
sued—Ur. Zilier,, Professor Hillyer and
Mr. Bouneu disagreeing with the
tot on various points, and Mr. Chappell
agraeii g with nil views in 'olo. In tbe
course of the debate the subject of
“phonellca”waa considerably di. cussed,
and the president requested Superin
tendent Harris, ot b_ Lonto, to give
tbe association the benefit of hto huge
observation and experience on the sub
ject.
MR. HARRIS RESPONDED
by explaining the difference between
pho; ies and phonetics, and giving a
clear explanation ot the way in which
tbe Utter to nsed to teach correct pro
nunciation. He stated that be had
nsed it with very gratifying results in
the SL Liuto schools.
At tbe close of Mr. Harris’s remarks
the association adjourned until 3 p. m

The incarceration of Jim Ashfield created
considerable excitement in Rockville. In
fact, it was a sensation, the first that had
been vouchsafed to the village since he had
been arrested and jailed, several years be
fore, so that some of the older dtikens were
moved to remark that it seemed as if Provi
dence had had some hand in preserving the
man for the purpose of providing exciting
interludes in the dead calm of peace and
prosperity which had brooded over the little
wn.
Both Miss Jane and Nora endeavored to
get the particulars of the affair from William

sense.” It WES written in siemarkshly
clear, terse stylo, and wu profoundly
philosophical throughout. The grand
est and most betatifal thronghts that
it contained could not have been
thoroughly apprecia'ed by any except
persona given to habit of deep reflection
and contemplation, but still the whole
of it wsa welt enough understood to all
to ranks it very interesting, and it was
listened to with elcee attention. After
transacting seme business the associa
tion adjourned till evenieg.
At night the female pnpito of the
Gordon institute gave a concert for the
entertainment of the teachers. The
piece selected for the occasion was a
beautiful cantata called the Fairies’
Grotto. The instrumental music, es
pecially tbe piano performance, was
most excellent, and
THE SINGING AND ACTING
were sweet and graceful. The natural
grace and beamy of the young ladies
were shown off to great advantage by
the elegant and tasty fairy costnmea.

ahe never lost an opportunity to refer to the
subject.
**1 think it is hard." she said one after
noon, as they sat togeiher in the porch, "that
he should be pot in jail."
“Yes,” replied the schoolmaser, “it is
hard."
‘I mean it is cruel.”
Yes, bat in order to be just, it is neces
sary that we should be both hard and cruel."
I do not think it is just," she said.
No, because you cannot understand that
cruelty should accompany justice. It may
be that this is one of the necessities inherited
from the era of barbarism, but it is a ncc-
nevertheless."
_ut he has a sister," die persisted.
It is her misfortune that she has such a
brother," the schoolmaster xeptied. "It is
one ot the accidents of fate that she, must
make the best of. If Ashfield's bullet had
hit its mark, we should have pitied Jack,
but how would that have consoled him?
Would our pity repair his loss ? Does ptiy
justify murder ? "
“You put jt two harshly," she said gently.
‘I was only thinking of toe loneliness of tbe
poor woman whose brother is in jail. The
thought of her grief confuses me."
"I only - put it fairly," he made reply.
•The fact that this woman's brother is injail
is her misfortune. We all have our misfor-
tunes, and we all have to make the best of
them. Here was a deliberate attempt at
murder, according to all accounts."
"What motive could the man have had
for committing murder ? "
"We will endeavor to establish the motive
during the trial. We hope to prove that, at
the very least, he had motive enough to
make the attempt"
“But the grief of his sister must be very
bitter, whether he be guilty or not," Nora
sad, clinging to the womanly argument
which had firet suggested itself.
“If he be guilty,” responded the school
master, "he should be punished whether his
sister’s grief be bitter or not. It may be
that my sympathy for the sister is not as keen
as yours, but nevertheless I sympathize with
her. I am told she is devoted to this vaga
bond brother of hers. More’s the pity. It
is not the first time he he has brought grief
upon her, but I daresay it will be his last.
There are other people," he also continued,
thinking of his own troubles, "who need
your sympathy."
"Needmy sympathy?” she asked, her
heightened color failing to verify she incred
ulity of her tone, "who are they, pray ? "
“Various people," he replied coolly—
‘various people whom you do not take into
account. It is true they are insignificant,
people, but they have their troubles and their
griefs nevertheless." *
"We can only pity those whose sorrows
we know of," she said gently.
"We are continually learning," he repli-
l, laughing a little harshly. /T had
thought that sympathy embraced all the sor
rows we Could conceive of; but this is u
practical age, and pity, for want of some
thing better to do, has became a census-
taker."
“Now you are laughing at me," said Nora,
pooling pettishly.
"No," said he, "I am only reasoning
with you. I am only insisting that if sympa
thy is a missionary and sorrow is a heathen,
it is well not to follow the old example of
searching them out in foreign lands. The
pagants are at oar very doors."
"You make too severe an application of
your morals" she replied. "I was speaking
of this man's sister. We can only sympa
thize with whose sorrows and whose misfor
tunes we know. Otherwise our sympathy
becomes sentimental and purposeless. I
know of no one who needs to be pitied more
than this poor* woman."
"And yet there are others.” said the
ttjlQftlnutfH’,
“I do not know them/' responded the
blind girl gently. 4 *Theykeep their troubles
to themselves. They have little need of the
sympathy of one like me."
“You cannot tell; none of ns can tell It
is best we should not know. Sympathy
sown broadcast over the land is the best
after all. Itis sure to reach its mark.”
This was one of the many attempts of
Nora to find ont the probable motive that in
duced Jim Ash field to attempt to burn Van*
derlyn’s shop and afterwards to make an
effort io assassinate him. All sorts of rumors
were afloat in the town and in the country.
One was to the effect that Vanderiyn had
made an at’empt to poison Ashfield’s sister
while she was tick. Another was that Tiny
Padgett had exasperated the man by laughing'
at him until he was oblidged to shoot him in
self-defence. Hundreds of such rumors were
abroad. Mrs. Dusenbuny had her theory,
Mrs. Bagley hers and Miss Jane hers. It is
needless to say they were all wide of the mark,
but that made little difference. They were as
stoutly held to as though they had been veri
fied over and over again, and some of them
became traditions long after the true facts
were known to every man, woman and child
within fifty miles of Rockville; insomuch
that it is doubtful if those who ought to be
well acquainted with the circumstances will
not look npon this hasty chronicle as an
ehaggeration of fiction.
tut the gossips had their way and the tow
hat its way. The Summer waned and
Auumn took her place. September came
in with a touch of winter, ana the time for
the meeting of the Superior Court came
rapdly on. It was an eventful period to
to 'hose who have figured in this unpreten-
tiois sketch—it was the culmination of the
hilory which I have endeavored to write.

M id dlsbobo, Mass, July 25.—Minnie
Warren wu burled this afternoon with
her baby in ber arms. The funeral
services were to begin at 2 o’clock, but
long before that so many persons came
from Middleboto and adjoining towns
that it wu impossible to -ccommodat-
mere than a small portion if them in
the house. Minnie and ber hnBband,
Major KeweU, better known u General
Grant, jr., have always made the 'old
homestead here their home
when not traveling. It to
a plain country farm house,
about two miles Irom Middleboro Cen
tre, and hu been made comfortable for
Minnie’s parents by Minnie’s money.
Acrou the way Tom Thumb’s country
seat, a pretty French-roofed cottage,
stands on a smooth green lawn. Minnie
Warren hu always been loved by the
people who knew her when she wu
little Hnldah Bump, her real name,
and many ol those who came to the
funeral to-day have had personal expe
riences ol her kindness since she be
came famous and wealthy. Sweet per
fumed flowers, beautifully arranged u
harps and wreatns, ware brought by
those friends, and on a delicate pillow
ol roses and pusion flowers Minnie’e
head lay in tbe cuket.
At 2 o’clock the famUy assembled in
the parlor around tbe cuket. This wu
ot black walnut, covered with blue silk
velvet, and wu li-ed with white satin
It v u a casket of a child of ten years,
bnt u the friends looked within they
saw the little mother with one arm em
bracing the girl b*b>, whose face hi
nestled close to the mother’s bosom.
Her head wu turned to the baby,
and the two seemed quietly sleeping.
The baby’s face wu a sweet one, a tit le
dimple remaining in the chin that even
death had not taken away. No one
looked npon the little mother and her
little child without weeping. Genera
Tom Thumb sat near the head
of the cuket, and by him sat
his wile, Lavras Warren. On the other
side sat Major Newell, and Ue made no
effort to control his feelings. He wep:
bitterly, u he hu almost without ces
ration since his wife died. Beside*
these, Minnie’s lather and mother ano
her brothers and sisters, all large men
and women, were in the room. They
remember Minnie u a daughter and
sister who shkred her wealth with
them, rather than u a famous httit
woman. Mrs P. T. Barnnm and Mr
Bleecker and hu wife, who have trav'
eled with the Tom Thumb party
for fifteen years, were wlso
among tbe chief monrneis.
Soon after 2 o’clock, the house being
uncomfortably filled, and fully a thou
sand persona on the lawn outside, s
chant wu snog by a choir, and the Eev.
Mr. Dyer made a short prayer. H-
then spoke of Minnie’s kindness and
sweetness ol disposition. Mrs. Tom
Thumb, u she heard her sister’s ten
derness spoken of, fainted and wu car
ried from the room. There wu not s
dry eye in tbe honae. After anothei
hymn had been song, six young ladies,
old friends and mates of Minnie, took
their places u pall-hearers, and then the
family looked for the lut time npon
Minnie’s face. Gan. Tom Thumb could
not control hto grief u he turned from
the cuket. The doors were theL
opentd and the people passed through
the parlor, looking for a tew minntea si
tne faces of the mother and child. I
wu two boors before the lut friend
bad passed by and the casket closed.
Borne by four yonng men, the casks:
wu placed in the heane, and, followed
by many carriages, taken to tne village
cemetery. Here, after the benediction
the cuket wu lowered into the little
grave. Many stood near even alter tht
clergyman had dismissed them.
The death of Minnie Warren will
probably end the public appearance ol
the Tom Thumb puty. Minnie’s death
was undoubtedly caused by her mater
nal love. Had she listened to the ad
vice of her physician sooner, her own
life might have been raved, although
her child would have been lost to her.
But ehe would not, until it wu too tote.
Daring her sickness she seemed to
think of nothing but the bsby that she
soon hoped to told to her bosom.
“1 shall live,” she said to her sister,
Mrs. Southworth; and after her baby
waa born ehe c.iid with a smite, “1
knew I should live; take me aud rock
me.” Tbe sister took Minnie in hei
arms as she would an infant, and rock
ed her. “Don’t cry,” said Minnie, “I
shall live throngh it.” Then, after a
little, she said: “Bock me on the other
side, sister.” Mrs. Sonthworth did so,
and Minnie wu quiet a little while. At
length she said with a sigh, “I don’t
know whether I snail get through after
all. Please put me on the bed. I feel
very badly; I am afraid I can’t live
through it.” The sister put her tenderly
on the bed. In a few minutes, without
another word and with only a gentle
ugh, Minnie died, three hours after her
baby wu bora. The baby was a beau-
tilul child, robust, and weighed just
one seventh oi Minnie’s weight, six
pounds. ?
