j Interviewed by a Reporter of the Times-
A Letter in Response to One from a Friend.
Having heard a rumor that ex
j Governor Bullock was prepairng an
j address to the people of Georgia, our
reporter called on him at the Kimball
House to inquire as to the truth of
the rumor. r lhe ex-Governor replied
j that he Had not contemplated such
1 an address and did not intend to do
I so, and that he was at a loss to know
how the rumor originated. He had
\\ ritten a private letter of some
length in answer to one address to
him by a friend, and as a copy of his
reply had been read to some of his
friends here, he supposed that fact
must have occasioned the rumor.
The reporter solicited a copy of
the letter for publication, which was
granted, and we lay it before our
readers:
Atlanta Ga., May 13, IS7G.
My Dear Colonel:
I am in receipt of your kind letter,
tor which please accept my kindest
thanks.
With your confidence in the cor
rectness of my action in connection
wdh the particular official act
which, four years ago, the Legisla
tive Committees took exceptions to
it is not strange that you express
surprise and indignation at the meas
ures which have been lately taken.
Lut, my good friend, let me assure
you that while His Excellency, Gov.
bmith, has taken all the formal steps
prescribed by the laws of the land
tor placing within the jurisdiction
or t.ie courts one who is charged with
violation of the stautes, I have been
treated with consideration, kindness
and courtesy, that has been very
gratifying to myself and agreeable
to my personal and political friends.
Of course every man must be held
as innocent until by the dicison of
ms peers he is proved to have been
guiity, and this courteous treatment
is no more than would be due and
extended to any other person in sim
ilar circumstances. Under the ex
citement engendered by poliiicial
differences and heated contests, how
ever we have nut always heretofore
been cool enough to execute that
kindly forbearance which is now so
universal in this community.
I note your inquiry as "to what
new' thing has been brought up now.
A respectful regard for th e proprie
ties of my position would of course
prevent my arguing here the ques
tions involved, or presenting any ev
idence to meet the charges. But I
imagine there can be no improprie
ty in my saying to you that the in
dictments are for “larceny after trust
delegated,” and for “conspiracy to
cheat aud swindle the State.” These
bills were found four years ago as the
result of the expaete investigations of
several committees of the Legislature
then in session, which thoroughly
examined into every act of my ad
ministration. This investigation oc
curred at a time when the -almost
universal public sentiment seemed to
expect and demand that evidence of
otu F .o,iA.,u frauds and robberies
should be discovered and disclosed.
There has been no new’ charge made
against me’of which I have been ad
vised. The bail in these two cases
w 7 as fixed at thirteen thousand dol
lars, .and, although no one outside
of the Executive Dc part men tjwas ex
pecting my arrival in Atlanta, with
in two hours after the amount was
named it w’as given by the bond of
gentlemen w ho are said to be worth
collectively over one million of dol
lars. From the number and charac
ter of tenders that were subsequently
made to me, I have rerson to believe
that if necessary a large additional
list of responsible namescould have
been added to the bond.
If there is anything that can com
pensate for the*unpleasant sequence
of my political experience, I find
some measure of it in the hearty aud
generous manner in which I have
been aud sustained in this emergen-
C> i have no fault to find with His
Excellency Governor Smith. He
performed only his official duty in
placing the matter within the juiis
diction of the courts, so that at the
proper time the question at issue
could be heard and determined, and
it is only justice to myself to say
that requests have been made upon
me by officers, attorneys and agents
of the State for information and as
sistance on several occasions during
the past lew years. To all of which
I have promptly and cheerefuiiy res
ponded in such manner as give en
tire satisfaction to those who called
on me. Nor was it unknown that X
was ready and willing to return here
whenever m> return was.desired.
The act charged against me in each
indictment, was an official act, dont
in the pertormance of my official du
ties in accordance with the laws of
the State, any pecuniary or other
benefit to myself. But in times of
high politieial excitement, as you
know, the most praiseworthy deeds
by an officia may be regarded and
decided by theopposite party to have
been dictated by sinister purposes
and done from corrupt motives. \v e
have an exhibition of the reverse of
this propposition in what I find here
to-day. It is openly asserted and I
believe not denied, that there is an
unadjested or an imperfect account
in the departments of the disposition
and exchange made of certain bonds
during the present and administra
tion, and that a large amount of
money has been paid Srom ttie tieas
ury on bonds that bad been pievioos
lv redeemed, and for which, on the
regular performance to the Treasurer
an Executive warrant.
Now, it would be absurd for any
one even to suggest that his Bxcel
lenev should be indicted for “larceny
after trust delegated,” or for “con
spiracy to cheat and swindle the
State f” And vet, the performance
oi theofficial acts, upon which, tour
years ago, these indictments were
found, was just as entirely free from
criminality.
Nor have these acts of mine neoes
sairlv involved the State in the loss
of a single dollar. The fetate has
sustained no hurt from the act of
mine upon which the charge of for
ce ncy after trust, is based, and if the
contract made by the State Railroad i
for cars—the official approval oi i
which by me she denominated a
conspiracy to cheat and swindle the
State —has not been fulfilled liy the
car company, measures might have
been taken to compel a fulfillment.
The Car Company with which
they contract was made, was regular
ly Incorporated and its stockholdeis
were responsible and W e M I?now n
men, who had been actively engaged
in the purchase, operation and the
sale of cars in this and adjoining
States. _,, ,
It is to be hoped that never again
ia tfcw history of our State will
, ieul animosities become so intense
as to eause the fact of partizan politi
j cal alliance to be accepted as evidence
* of social position or personal charac
ter. May we not rather accept that
the good old days, ante beflum, will be
with us again when a man’s moral
commercial, professional and social
statues will depend upon his acts,
irrespective of his political opin
ions.
The evidences of improvement that
I have observed on the Air-Line
railroad and in this city are very en
couraging to one who wishes well for
Georgia. I must admit, however,
that the impetus given several years
ago to these improvements seems to
have spent itself, and there is not
that universal prosperity which J
desire to see. I hope that when the
questions of national issue becomes
adjusted or definitely decided, there
may be renew’ed energy instilled in
to the people.
Profitable employment to the ar
tisan, successful trade to the mer
chant and legitimate practice for the
professions will fill to the utmost
artery of trade. I therefore trust
ihat your discouragement over the
condition of the country wdil soon
give place to brighter nopes.
Again thanking you for your kind
expressions of interest in my behalf,
believe me as ever,
Truly your friend,
Rufus B. Bullock.

An Editoiial Tragedy.
Yesterday evening, shortly after
J seven o’clock, a heart-sickening acci
dent occured on the Little Miam
Railroad, by which Mr. George M. I).
Bioas, w ho for a quarter of a century
has occupied the position of leading
political writer on the Enquirer , was
instantly killed. The New York and
Cincinnati express train West, known
as “No. 10,” in charge of Conductor
Holloway and Engineer Clyne, had
left Loveland on schedule time, eight
minutes past seven o’clock, and was
coming towards this city at the rate
of thirty miles an hour. "When com
ing around the sharp cm ve just above
Branch Hill the engineer saw a(man
walking on the track in front of him
less than fifty yards distant he recog
nized that man, and sounded the
short, sharp signal of danger, at the
same time putting on the air-brakes
to stop the train. There are moments
in the lives of most of us in which
the events of years are crowded into
a second of time. The mind at such
times sees with the rapidity of light
ning’s flash or the swiftness of a sun
beam, unrolled before it was in a
parmrama the occurrences of a
lifetime. And this was one of those
moments of supreme trial to Engin
eer John Clyne, He saw and recog
nized the man before him as Mr.
Bloss. He recalled to tnind the first
time he eversaw him—the second,
the third the many hundreds of times
had riduen w’itii him on his morning
journeys between his home and the
city. He remembered his peculiari
ties mind,of hisabtractedair when en
gaged iu thought, and he noticed,
too, that this air had possession of
him now. With his head and body
thrown forward and his hands in his
pockets lie was walking mechanical
ly to hi# home, clothed in deep study.
Hwutfwpw? Jfcߣ n sip*r
jerked the throttle valve of his en
gine and turned on the air pump to
stop the train, and w’ith every rev
olution of the wheels he shuddered
at the thought of the inevitable. The
man before him walked on in uncon
cerned security, buried in thought.
He heard nothing, saw nothing, felt
nothing, until the train struck him,
hurling him fifteen or twenty feet
in the air. He fell on the side of the
track a quivering corpse, while the
train shot past him to be brought to
a standstill forty or fifty yards be
yond.
A moment later a score of kind
hea r ifccL mon jumped vtr ine train
and, hurrying to w r here the inanimate
body lay, had gathered it up with
tender care. There were no signs of
life there. Death had been instan
taneous. His skull had been factured,
his left leg, aud right arm broken
and his entire body jarred into a
quivering mass by the terrible shock,
iiis hat was thrown to the other
side of track, and his watch, wrench
ed from the chain, was nowhere to
be found.
At this moment two of his sons,the
one a young man of eighteen or
nineteen, and the other a lad of
twelve, came up, accompanied by a
young lady, a niece ot Mr. Bloss,
to see w hat had caused the stopage
of the train. Just as they were lilt
ing the body to cary it to the train
; the trio came up. The oldest boy
saw what had happened. “Oh, it’s
father and he is killed,” said he and
sank to the earth in a sw’oon. The
younger son and the neiee w’ere al
most equally affected, but were bet
ter able to control their feelings. The
train was pulled a couple of hundred
yards to a point opposite the home
of the deceased, amt conductor Hol
loway went in to break the sorrowful
tidings to the family. He met Mrs. i
Bloss at the door, and told her as
gently as possible.
Said she to her niece, who had
come by this time: “I told you that
I feared it was George”—and then
broke down. But it-t us draw a cur
tain over the scene that followed.
Supper had been prepared and was
on the table, and the family were on
ly waiting for its head to be seated
| around the board and enjoy it.
A rude bier was improvised by
Mr. Holloway, and he, with the pas
i sengers who had before assisted,
brought the remains into what had
been his home a few hours before,but
wdiichghad so suddenly been turned
into a i;ogse of mourning. There he
was gently laid out by loving friends
while the stricken mother and chil
dren scarce able to realize the sud
den calamity which had overtaken
thGm s sank overwhelmed with grief.
New t York, May 27.—The Sun
publishes a letter dated Augusta,
Me., Nev* 1870, from James G.
Blaine to Warren Fisher, Jr,, of Bos
ton, offering for $25,000 to procure for
Fisher one one-hundred and ninety
second [fort of the entire franchise of
the Northern Pacific Bailroad, in
cluding the land company’s stock.
After describing the immense pros
pective profits of the transaction,
Blaine says that he himself cannot
avail of the opportunity, but obey
ing the tipit fpui best impulses offers
it to Fisher, In his concluding par
agraph Blaine says: “Keep my
name quiet, mentioning it to no one
unless to Mr. Caldwell.” Blaine’s re
ceipt to Fisher for the $25,000 and an
agreement to deliver as described is
; also published. Blaine was unable
to deliver, and after over a year’s
waiting Aqnila Adams, one of the
pool fop tyhifi}) Fisher acted, reclaim
ed five thousand dollars,’ his interest,
from Blaine, and obtained it. The
correspondence seems to have been
furnished the£wa by Adams, a letter

Hints for the Month—From the Rural
Carolinian.
The name of the present month,
as most of our readers know, is de
rived from Juno, a fabled goddess of
antiquity, who was said to be Jupi
ter’s wife. Well, if the old lady
ruled her domestic affairs, as warmly
ashe does the weather sometimes,
sue made it pretty hot about old
Jup’s ears occasionally. And just so
should the farmers make the work
about the young plants, now growing
off beautifully, and vieing with the
noxious weeds that now-a-days seem
to multiply in both species and
genius.
If the corn land was well prepared,
the crop judiciously planted, a good
stand obtained, and the work of cul
tivation well done thus far, the farm
er can do little else than give the
crop a speedy woiking early in this
month, and before the Ist July lay
it by with a few shadow sweep fur
rows. One of the most successful
farmers we ever knew, told us he
never ran a furrow in corn as late as
Ist July. How will it be with you
this season, reader?
Cotton is now growing off finely,
and heed ns to j>r ,>ont a beautiful ap
pearance. It iias been worked over
and thinned to “a stand,” which
with some farmers means two stalks
in a hill, with others one; we prefer
the latter, and standing about the
width of a broad hoe apart. Fre
quent work, and shallow work, is all
this crop needs this moth, and it
should receive it as early in the
month as possible, for the hands will
be needed elsewhere before the
month is out. Don’t put off the
work, but push it. “Cotton will
wait,” is a fallacy. It wi'l survive
maltreatment, but to let the crop get
partially strangled now, with a
promise to resuscitate it hereafter, is
poor economy. Keep it clean from
the start, and never leave it till it ;s
in thorough condition.
If peas were not planted in May,
plant them now, but not in the corn.
Plant in narrow beds to themselves,
and chop once with the hoe as soon
as up, and at proper time give one
ploughing. Pea soup, peas and rice,
and boiled peas, are dishes palatable
enough to induce every farmer to
grow an acre or so for the table, to
say nothing nf the value of a larger
crop, as both grain and hay for all
kinds of stock. Few crops are more
valuable for man and beast.
This month the oat crop and Spring
wheat will be cut. Cradle carefully,
bind securely, shock in shocks of "a
dozen bundles, don’t cap, leave the
grain shocked for a week, if the
weather is dry and warm, and then
with all hands haul to the barn, and
house or stack. Oat straw that has |
not been wet since the crop was cra
dled, and not left to bleach in the
field longer than just time enough to
make it fit for housing, is better long
forage than corn fodder, and almost
equal to hay.
Grain for seed should be thorough
ly ripe before harvested; mr feeding,
it may be cut a week earlier.
Most farmers say harvesting grain
interferes with the cotton crop. We
always feel the other way. We
must have our grain harvested, but
the cotton crop very frequ^,,*i v wor .
Potato slips may be set out
time during this month, and we hope
not a reader of the Rural but has a
good potato patch. From October
till May, no one article of food “fills
the bill” so well as the sweet potato.
Fried for breakfast, roasted for din
ner, or poned for dessert, it is always
palatable and nutritious. Then grow
them largely this season to enjoy
them next winter.
Garden vegetables are becoming
abundant; keep the garden clean,
and plant successive crops of beans,
cabbage, tomatoes, squashes, and
melons AVcvtx:i wniy at sunset, and
do it thoroughly. Next morning
put dry earth on the wet spots before
the sun gets hot.
Stock of all kinds will do well
now, especially if allowed to glean
the stubble fields, which should be
considered their right.
Senator Gordon on the Situation,
We find in the Atlanta Constitution
the following letter from Gen. Gor
don. It speaks for itself:
Washington, May 15.1876.
Hon. John W. Wofforcl , Cartersville ,
Oa. :
My Dear Colonel.— l have just
returned from Philadelphia, and has
ten to reply to yours of April 30th.
There is one point on which the
Democrats of the country are agreed,
viz : That we must eelect as our can
didate the man who can be elected,
if such a man can be found. It will
not bo easy for the Democracy to
elect any candidate. We are unhap
pily not united on the financial ques
tion. This is true to some extent of
the Republicans, but they are less
divided aid better disciplined. As
to candidates I could not were Ia
1 delegate decide in advance of the
Convention for whom I should cast
my vote. Certain it is that the South
should, as I said, in my speech in
Atlanta before the Legislature—go
to the Convention entirely unpledged,
and only decide after the fullest con
ference with the delegates from those
Northern States in which our chan
ces are best.
There are some points, however,
more or less peculiar to this contest,
Which ought to serve as indicators or
sign-posts to guide us.
1. i'here never has been in the his
tory of Presidential contests an elec
tion in which the people have look
ed so much to the man and so little
to the platform as they will In this
r^cti,
2nd. The paramount thought with
intelligent voters will be io secure
an absolutely honest administration.
Bd. The war issues will be brought
into the canvass in order to fill the
Northern mind with apprehension,
and with more effect than our people
of home generally imagine.
4th. I should, were Ia delegate,
pqst my vote for that lqan, who
should appear} after the fqlleit con
ference, to have the greatest popular
strength in New York, New Jersey,
j Conuecticutt. fndiaqa and the pacific
I States. It will be difficult, I know,
to find a man who has strength both
in New York and Indiana, and if
I either State is to be placed in jeop-
I ardy by the nomination, I should
I prefer to sacrifice our chances in the
1 latter State. We may elect without
Indiana. We are certain to fail if
W ; e lose New Y” r k.
I have thus given you, Colonel, as
requested, ray own views for what
they are worth.
With every confidence in the un
selfish purposes, and in the discre
tion and ability of yourself and such
members of the Qeorgia delegation
to do the best and wisest things pos
sible at St. Louis.
X am your friend,
Joxut £ UomwN.
Dom Pedro’s Empire,
j The Centennial Exhibition if it
does nothing more, will throw a
flood of light upon the resources of
the several nations of the earth
I which are represented there, in their
varied productions of soil, climate,
mechanical skill, painting, sculp
-1 ture aud all the arts and sciences.
Who, for example, had imagined
that what we regarded as semi bar
barous Brazil, had made the progress
which her department at this world’s
fair renders indisputable:
“The exhibition of Brazil, that
South American empire with which
we are destined in the future to have
the most intimate relations, is very
remarkable. The visitor in the Ag-
ricultural building cannot avoid re
marking its one stiucture of cotton
! a,l j! the adjacent enclosure, festooned
with the skins of animals, both in
their natural state and in the more
durable form of leather. From
every part of the great building
t hese two features of the representa
tive agricultural world, blending with
the yellow marked flag of the coun
try Whipil they iypi tt**o oloarly
Uistin A single glance at
the contents of these enclosures re-
veal a variety of objects not at first
suspected. One single item in this
collection of the products of Brazil
is the specimen of more than two
hundred different kinds of wood,
numbering many of surpassing ele
gance in texture and polish, and not
a lew which are absolutely unknown
to ns. Of fibrous products there are
fifteen or twenty varieties, and some
t IDCn .•/* rG’ , .
ot these are of greater apparent value
for manufactures than anything to
the use of which we are now accus
tomed. A partial enumeration only
of other products will or should suf
fice tor drawing attention to the rich
ness of those over which we pass
\\ ithout mention. Of cotton and corn,
tobacco and tea, sugar and starch
trie everywhere recognized necessi
ties—we are shown the most com
piete assortments, and we find in
each of them the equivalent of the
best \\ inch is known in other portions
ot tiie world. The best brands of
of cotton known in the Soi Hern
biates here meet their equals, and our
gteat \v est cannot excel, either in
quality or variety, the corn, speci
mens ot which are here exhibited. If
j Brazillian tobacco has hitherto
j j' ail ked of second quality, we here
I J? :lv , e evidence that it has been onlv
for Jack of a demand for the fine ar
ticle. Its ability to equal the best,
wherever produced, cannot be suces
fully disputed in the presence of the
samples here shown. Although Ja
pan tea finds a natural home in Bra
zil, and that without impairing its
quality, the specimens of Yerba Mate
~the native tea of Brazil— cannot
but excite the particular attention of
those who are accustomed to regard
Asiatic tea as the only article wor
thy of the name. Of sugar we find
no less than thirty-six different kinds
ranging all the way from the least to
the most desirable known to com
merce. Rice, too, abounds in the
greatest possible luxuriance and va
riety, as does also wheat, oats, rye,
etc. J ipioca appears in different va
rieties. aa
antr’iiquors are very numerous. But
perhaps the most remarkable single
product on exhibition is that of na-!
tive silk, ana of this the most re
markable thing to be said is that it is
an open air as well as an entirely nat
urall prouuetion. The silk-grower is
subjected to the minimum of care and
trouble in the pursuit of his occupa
tion; yet the quality of the prod uct is,
nevertheless, of great excellence.
Louisiana.
There is trouble among the Repub
licans in New Orleans. Dann H
temporary absence from the St de of
the spurious Governor, Kellogg,
Judge Hawkins, of the Superior
Court died, and Antoine, a genuine
negro, but a bogus Lieutenant-Gov
ernor, as acting Governor, filled the
vacancy by the appointment of B. L.
Lynch, who at the time was the
Judge of the Fourth District Court.
In order to make the appointment
binding. Antoine issued to Lynch
two commissions, the second being
made, as he supposed, a little strong
er than the first. Kellogg on Jiis re
turn became indignant at what he
deemed an infringement upon his
privileges; and proceeded to appoint
Llugh J. Campbell as the successor
of Hawkins; and, notwithstanding
an opinion from the Attorney-Gener-
eral, that the removal of Judge
Lynch would be unconstitutional, il
legal, and an outrage on public order.
Campbell, on Saturday last, support
ed by a force of policemen, took pos
session of the court room, upon
which Lynch applied to Judge Tis
sot, of the Second District Court for
an injunction against Campbell,
which was granted. Both Campbell
and Lynch are Republican politicians
of the most unscrupulous type, and
the row between them indicates
internal quarrels in the party
relative to the control of the organi
zation at the corning election. At
torney-General Field expects trouble
in consequence of the opinion he de-
livered on this matter, and informed
a reporter that he supposed it would
be necessary to supply his office with
a couple of double-barrelled shot
guns, with two colored men to han
die them* He also says thai he has
sent word to Kellogg that the best
thing the latter could do would be to
pack his carpet bag and get out of
the State as soon as possible, which
certainly was very good advice.
Men armed with iron claws fight
like wild beast in Baroda, India, the
King offering prizes and witnessing
the brutish contests. They are first
intoxicated with bhang, an infusion
of hemp and opium, to inspire them
with sufficient courage. Frenzied
and singing, they rush at each other,
striking, wrestling, grid using the
iron claws, until one or the other is
wounded beyond further fighting,
ffouselet, ih his “Travels in India,”
describes a contest in which one gla
diator showed symptoms of fright
and a desite to run away, and the
other turned to the King to know
whether he should relent. “Strike!”
the King shouted, and the head of
the defeated fellow was soon torn and
bleeding.
001. Henry C. Buel, who was on
the staff of General Grant during the
war, has been committed to jail in
New York, charged with fatally
! stabbing Michael Hussey, in that
city, in an altercation on Sunday
| night last.
General Schenck disappears “un
wept, unhonored, ami unsung.” The
onTy regret of even the Republican
papers seems to be that he W'as so
