Clegliorn, was going to support Judge D. 11, Harrell, therefore, in order to disabuse the minds of all of that false lcport, we quote from a private letter of tlie Major’s to the editor of this papei: Dear Hancock: Ily the by, contra dict that vile report about my intend ing to vote for and. b. barrel 1.

The election in this county passed off very quietly.

Kellet were arrested here Saturday evening by an agent of Secret Service division, and 11;> coun terfeit silver dollars and the mold for making them were found in their pos session. The arrest causes considerable excitement and evil rumors. THE PEABODY FUND. The Mate* tliat Receive tlie Ilenoiits New York. October 4.—The annual meeting of the trustees and directors of the Peabody educational fund was held to dai’ at noon in Fifth Avenue Hotel, and is now in progress. Among those present were ex-President Ruth erford 15. Hayes, Justice Waite, of the Fnited States supreme court, Right Rev. 11. R>. Whipple, of Minnesota, and Alexandr 11. Stuart of Virginia. General Agent J. L. M. Curry made his report, showing that since (Ictobcr Ist, 1882, $80,334,41 had been distributed out of the fund. The state of Tennessee received $12,809, Texas $17,500, Virginia $3,234, West Virginia $2,300, South Carolina $5,375 North Carolina so,4Bs,Georgia $8,580, Mississippi $4,275 Louisiana $5,900, Florida $3,725, Arkansas $5,075, Alabama $5,175, Judge Manning reported that he had presented a claim apainst the state of Mississippi for bonds belonging to the Peabody fund repudiated by that state. In the judge’s opinion there was no change of their ultimate payment. With ac cumulated interests, these bonds would reach $1,000,000. The meeting then adjourned. A Member of Congress. Members of Congress are paid five thousand dollars a year for their servi ces. They also receive $125 each for stationary and papers, which they are free to take in money and supply themselves. The committees are abun dantly supplied with all forms of sta tionary, and the members help them selves freely from that stock, and thus save expense in one item. Their speeches arc folded and enveloped at the public expense, and seat free through the mails. They vote them selves valuable books, and may sell them to the trade. They generally travel free on certain roads of great corporations, and they are furnished with telegraphic franks, to say nothing of other privileges and perquisites, for which votes are expected in return. They get baths, they get shaved, they are perfumed, and their hoots are blacked at the Capitol without charge. Republicans get offices and patronage, and a class of Democrats also find favor in that way. The life of a Congressman is easy and profitable, if he boa professional politician, for besides all those advan tages lie has a stake in most of the special legislation, if he is not regularly retained by some monopoly or corpora tion. In the short and long sessions of a term he averages only ten mouths, and is paid ten thousand dollars for two years of supposed service. There are three hundred and twenty five members to be elected to the next House of Representatives, and now is the time for every Congress district to demand of the candidates explicit pledges of faithful attendance at the daily sessions, and against pairing o;. any pretext whatever. States and districts have had no representation at all on many occasions when questions deeply interesting to them have been decided. Aside from these local con siderations, absenteeism favors pro fligacy in expenditures, and is the ally of corruption and jobbery. A Heniitiful Tribute. The Atlauta correspondent of the Savannah News pays the following ap propriate and touchingly beautiful com pliment to Georgia’s greatest intellect and his universally popular and accom plished wife: “1 am sure that the peo ple of Georgia will he pained to learn of rhe failing health of the noble wife of Gen. Robert Toombs, and that there is no prospect of her restoration in the future. The brightest picture in the history of Gen. Toombs has been his devotion to his wife. No cavalier of the olden time ever won a worthier fame for his chivalric bearing. Together, bereft of children, but blessed with grandchildren, they have come to tlie declining years of life hand in hand, and with hearts as loving and tender as when first they were wed. The change in General Toombs grows more marked every day as lie realizes the slow decay of the wife that has been such a com fort and help to him in his long public career. Feeble himself and daily fail ing, her afflictions seemed to have chas tened and subdued his lion heart and lordly manners, and it is hard to con template him in his changed condition without a feeling of tender regard. With all his political peculiarities he has kept Lis domestic affections pure and strong. Hide by side, tender and true to the last, this remarkable couple are slowly tending to the grave, and neither will long survive the other.” Alfred 11. Colquitt. Cincinnati Times-Star. There can he no reasonable doubt that the successor of the late Ben Ilill in the United States Senate will be Governor Alfred 11. Colquitt. Ex cepting the “great commoner,” who will succeed Mr. Colquitt in the gub ernatorial office, no man is so univer sally admired and esteemed by the peo : plo of Georgia as the present Governor. FI is popularity is due less to liis wise administration of public affaire,perhaps than to his fine qualities as a man. lie enjoys the implicit confidence of the masses, irrespective of party. Gover nor Colquitt is a notable exception to the rule that clergyman who go into politics dishonor their profession. Nei ther his political aspirations nor his official duties are so absorbing that he cannot frequently find time to preach to tlie colored people, and with much more zest, it is said, than he makes political speeches. Half a dozen other names are mentioned in connection with the Senatorsliip, but Colquitt, has no competitor of whom he is afraid. Disease of Women. Large treatise for three stamps,giv ing means of successful self treatment. Address World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo; N. Y. A Hurricane at Sea. A New York dispatch, dated Octo ber 1, says: “The steamer Yenice, which arrived yesterday from Yokoha ma, brings a tale of wild seas and ter rific winds, during which her decks were converted into a scene of havoc, and her chief officer was washed over board and lost. After leaving Yoko hama on June 29 the. steamer touched at Shanghai, Amoy, Hong Kong, Sin gapore, Aden, Suez, Port Said and Gibraltar. She was consigned to Peter Wright ih Sons and commanded by Captain Blard. Until September 2.5 the vessel experienced light airs and fine, sunshiny days, hut on that date the wind freshened and thick, rainy weather set in. This developed into a hurricane, which gradually increased in force until tlie afternoon of the 25th, when the sky was as black as ink and the waves were rolling mountains high. “It was about latitude 39 degrees 45 minutes and longitude 70 degrees 42 minutes, at half-past five o’clock,” said Captain Blard, yesterday, “and the sea became so wild that I did not deem it prudent to run any longer before the wind. We were abreast of the Georges shoals then, and preparations were made to lay to. In half an hour the ship’s speed was reduced and she lay to the wind under a storm staysail. The men were putting an extra sheet on the staysail; I was compelled to go below, ami asked the chief officer, Mr. Thomas Rlliott, to take my place and keep a sharp lookout. He laughingly responded, ‘All right,’ and went up on the bridge at once. 1 had hardly got down the companion way when an aw fnl sea struck the ship on the port side forward, washing the decks from stem to stern and filling the waist of the vessel for a minute or so level with the top of the deck house. Every man who was on deck had to hold on for dear life, and one of the sailors was whirled the whole length of tlie deck before he could got a grip on a rail. When the water cleared away the chief officer was missing. Thinking he might have crept forward, where four men were lashed to the wheel, we made a search for him, hut all in vain. One of the crew saw him spring toward an iron railing on the bridge just as the great wall of water rose above him. Poor Elliott must have been knocked sense less, for he never uttered a cry for help, lie came from Salcombe-llegis, Eng land, where his young bride of less than a year awaits his return. He was a bright, gallant young man. Of course, nothing could bo done for him, as the ocean was in a terrible condition and we had to look out for the vessel. Soon after the weather quieted down, and although it blew pretty hard straight along, we arrived here without further accident.” The woodwork on the deck was torn away in a number ot places, and even strips of iron bolted over the hatch covers were ripped off and bent like cardboard by the water. The end of one of the lifeboats on deck was cut off by the waves as clean as though it had been dona by an axe. The deck was sprung in many places, and even the paniol work on the deck house was swept away despite its strong fastening. Fevers Fearful Work at Pensa cola. New Orleans, October s.— The fol lowing dispatch puts at rest the rumors telegraphed from Matamoras concern ing the health of Monterey, a city just opened up to trade by the completion of the Mexican National railway to that point; "Lore,do, October J t . —The city physician and personal inquiry as sure me that there is no yellow fever in or near Monterey. The city’s sanitary condition is good. By authority of the President and an order of the Governor quarantine was proclaimed yesterday throughout the State against all infect ed districts. | Signed] “Mm. lleaden. “Special Health Inspector.” Brownsville, October 5,-There were nine new cases of yellow fever here to day. The doctor at Fort Brown, with a fever nurse in tlie hospital, were to day taken down with the fever. There were six new eases in Matamoras, hut no deaths to-day. The daily death rate in Mier is from eight to twelve. The weather is hot. New Orleans, October s.— The Pic ayune’s special from Pensacola says: This, the thirty-ninth day of the scourge, close with a record of fifty-five new oases, including one reported last night, and four deaths. There is no improvement and no encouragement to physicians and attendants, save the consciousness that we are approaching nearer day by day to cold weather. There is undoubtedly material enough to feed the fever, even at the present progress, for several weeks to come. A number of eases reported by tlie physic ians are of individuals who have had the fever in former years. Mr. P. K. Young is among the new eases. He had the black vomit in 1873. Captain Kldridge, of the steamer E. E. Simpson, was taken down to-day with the fever. The condition of Rev. M. Owen is very critical. Captain Ronissia, of the Austrian bark Arno, who was taken sick Sunday, died last night. The Arno entered from Kingston, Jamaica, and almost finished loading with lum ber. Dr. Gorham and J. P. Jones, membeis of the board of health, visited the quarantine stations to-day to inves tigate the condition of affairs. There arc four vessels now at the quarantine, one of which is infected. Judge C. F. Crisp is now engaged in an active canvass of his district. Every Democrat in the district ought to rally to his support. Independentism is the common curse of Georgia poli ties, and it ought not to he allowed to get a foothold in the “old reliable” wire grass section. —Augusta Evening News.
