Washington Letter.
[Bruin Otir regular Correspondent.]
WASHINGTON, D. C. t Feb. 4:1), 1880.
The mask has been entirely t<*rn off from
the colored exodus movement, ami there is
no longer a pretense that it was anything but
a political scheme. Senator Yoorhees’ com
mu,'ce lihs been engaged in the inquiry for
sumo time, ami a good deal of evidence point
ing to the above conclusion lias been taken,
but the thing most beautifully clinched
o:i Monday of this week, when Charles X.
Oi.tey. e-dor fi the editor of ike WaGiington
Ano is. gave iii< testimony. I would like to
give hi statement in full were it possible, but
to brie tty summai i/.c : lie said he was one m
the founders of the National Emigrant Aid
Society; the first intimation he ha 1 that the
exodus movement was being worked up at
hoth ends was when a member of the society
laid before one of the meetings a proposition
to “ send about 5,000 into Indiana, as that
■was a doubtful State in the coming election.”
lie then addressed letters to prominent col
ored men in North Carolina asking what was
I h.e cause of this sudden uprising. The re
plies came t at there was no cause for it. and
that the ignorant negroes were being led into
it ir, three tuea named Perry, Williams mvl
Ta\ lor. who got up secret meetings and repre
sented to the dupes that the Government
wanted thorn to go to Indiana; that they
would get is 1.50 to $2.25 per da) - and new
suds of clothes when they got to Washington,
'rhese three lying emissaries wa re the paid
agents of tin* radical party. Mr. Ouley said
that when he learned all these facts lie with
drew limn the society, lie added that he
had conversed in North Carolina during the
pastiew weeks with James 11. Harris, Osborne
ilm.tei, Jr: M. V. Turner, and other very
prom ae it ' ,,1 >red rrwn, and with Governor
?*o! jp-g R'cbarl Bailor and Colonel Ike
Youn?. prominent radical Republicans, all
lube in a.;coid with toe foregoing explanation
o. Lie .cal cmi .cs of the exodus. They all
rkow'se agreed tli.it the condition of the peo
ple of North Carolina is on the whole highly
favorable, and that there is no adequate in
ceidive wiiatovcr for colored people to leave
G o Slate. 4 In fact,*’ arid the witness, “every
i tpllmentcolored man in the State is opposed
t. il, ami the six colored newspapers of North
Cm'oii.i.. aic *ignti!ig it; and 1 say that, al
tl ' 0 !i a;ex jhm from some of the Southern
.Stages rray be a blessing, the exodus from
NorMi Cuolin.n is a fraud and a curse.”
Add to this the testimony of Judge Carleton,
of I’urre llaute, and we have all that, is neees
ts.it yto lie said on the exodus question. The
Julg- said lie wis well acquainted with the
people and wdh the condition of tilings in
that, po tion of Indiana; there is no present
demand for farm bands or any otiier kind of
unskilled labor ; on the contrary, them is an
■over ■■apply. and the feeling of the people,
including a number of old colored residents
wdh whom hi* has conversed, is decidedly
averse t.o the i.emigration ofdestitiffe colored
people bke I he North Carolina immigrants in
question, an , especially as the general im
•prension is that tney arc brought there on!,
to vote.
General Sherman has got himself into a
libel suit, and one in which the sympathy and
soim I sense of the community is all againts
him, notwithstanding his high position. Ever
since General Boynton punctured his egotis
tical “ Memoirs” by facts compiled from the
records of the War Department and other re
liable sources. General Sherman lias shown a
degree of vindictiveness towards him seldom
ciu tin ted by intelligent men. Recently Gen.
Grant has sustained Boynton in his statement
that Grant and not Sherman originated the
] leu ot march to t io >ea, and this so revives
the latter's anger that lie charged Boynton in
a newspaper interview with being capable
ol any wickedness for money; that he
could be bought for SI,OOO. General
Boynton is the correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette, and one of the most cul
tivated, reliable and respected journalists in
\* asliingtion. Gen. Sherman has made hiin
scl! the author of as untruthful and coarse an
attack upon a gentleman as has ever been
published, and he ought to be made to suffer
the penalty of his wickedness. Many men
wouid have arrested him at once on a crim
inal charge, but Gen. Boynton has chosen the
dignified part, and from respect for the high
ran a of his assailant, takes him before a tri
bunal where he can get a vindiea f ion without
bringing any indignity upon the general of
ti e army. Tito suit ought to be of interest to
all newspaper correspondents here, for it is
ton much the habit of public men against
vv iom aii\ viiiargc is brought by the news
porpvi s lo charge back that it is “ only a news
p.-iger lie;” that- 44 newspaper men can bo
bon * lit : tsint 44 it is all for blackmail,” etc.,

false charges are made by tlie newspaper, and
lucre are veiy few men in Washington who
arc mart trustworthy and careful in the dis
charge of t.br-ir duties than the coi respondents.
TANARUS: ev pec n good deal of the tricks ‘and ras
cclities in < fficial and political life, and do not
tell the half.
There is no telling yet how Secretary
S' lujrz wnl come out in his negotiations with
tiie Indians now here, but I think a peaceful
solution of the difficulties will result. Yet
any arrangement that does not secure a sur
render and punishment of the brutes who
committed murder and outrage will !>e un
satisfactory and wrong. Five of the chiefs
here returned to Colorado to lay the plans of
the Government before the tribe, and the
others remain here till their return. They
have all been furnished fine suits of clothes,
and look quite slick. Before the departure
of Jack and the others a grand pow-wow was
held in the Indian bureau. Secretary Schurz,
Commissioner Hoyt, and the other officials
joined hands with their red brethren, and
danced in a circle to slow music. Ouray
gave some of the fancy movements which lie
saw at the Black Crook. Secretary Schurz.
when iris time came for doing a ** singie

Don t take any of the quack rostrums, ns they

The. Wildest Scheme Yet.
One of the wildest schemes ever presented
t Congress is that of Weaver, the lowa
Green'acker. who proposes that the govern-
shall pav in coin to all the soldiers who
sei.cd in the Federal army during the late
war the difference between the vaiue of the
gold dollar and the greenback, in which they
were paid, together with interest from the
time of this payment to the present day. A
greenback dollar, for instance, was worth only
forty cents in 1864. A soldier, therefore,
who was paid SISG ayearthen really received
only $:)0 in gold, leaving S9O due him by the
government, so Weaver claims. The inter
est on this amount will double it. Accordin'*
to \\ caver's theory tho government is in
dented to the soldiers over a thousand mill
ion dollars, which amount should be paid at
once. Wild and ridiculous r.s this scheme
is, it is receiving support everywhere. On
one day last week Weaver received no less
than fifty-four petitions in favor of his bill,
all numerously signed, and there is every
reason to believe that the claim lie makes
that lie will obtain a million signatures to
these petitions will prove true. A very*
strong Union sentiment still prevails through
out the country, but we think that when Con
gress makes up its mind to adopt Mr. Wea
ver's scheme, a majority of the people Nortii
as well as the South will conclude that what
is left of the old Union is hardly worth pre
serving at such a price.— Savannah News.
Egyptian Masons.
A special dispatch from Alexandria, Egypt,
concerning the supposed Masonic etwbiems
lonnd under the obelisk, is as follows :
44 Dr. Fanton, a highly instructed Mason,
lias finished a careful examination of the
foundations of the obelisk, and confirms
Lieutenant Commander Gorringe's discovery
of the Masonic emblems, which establish tiie
relations of many ancient Egyptian monu
ments. I)r. Fanton declares that the Hiram
version of Masonry as having originated with
the construction of Solomon's Temple is dis
poned by the revelations of the foundations
of the obelisk. The Masonic emblems of
Life and the Sun. beyond doubt, are identical
with those upon the monuments of the
Egyption god Osiris. This proves that Ma
sonry originated with the construction of the
Pyramids, or .at least with a far remoter period
than the construction of the four, lutioii of the
| obelisk. The number of bricks comprising
j the foundation, as well as their position arid
arrangement, indicate tlmt the ancients were
i familiar with the higher degrees of Masonry,
at least as high as the eighteenth degree.
Many peculiar emblems not understood by
Lieutenant Commander Gorringe were fully
| explained by Dr. Fanton from a Masonic
point of view. This discovery furnishes a
I clue to other important, discoveries, not only
under the fallen obelisks, but also in other
parts of Egypt, rendering probable a solution
of the mystery of the construction of the
pyramid.-'.. Among the discoveries was found
a perfect cube, ami also emblems of all Ma
sonic institutions. Lieutenant Commander
Gorringe, who is a member of the Masonic
fraternity, entirely approves Dr. Fanton’s
explanation, an i gives this dispatch his entire
approbation.”
Distressing Affair.
A YOUNG GIJIL SBKIOUSLY BUKNiZD.
Fire is appalling and dangerous enough
when dwellings and other houses are the
objects of its fury, but it is heart-rending when
a human being is its victim, and peculiarly
so when l ft,at victim is a lovely young girl,
just verging upon womanhood. The towns
people an i others who wore in the vicinity
of tim store of J. C. Pit nor & Go., at the
junction of Thomas and Clayton streets,
about half-past eight o'clock yesterday morn
ing, were horror-struck to sec a young girl
rush frantically and screaming from Mr.
Pitner’s store, with her clothing in flames that
were reaching almost to her head. Those
nearest to her, as quickly as they realized the
lea lfwl situation, caught at her in ell'orts to
check her flight and extinguish the fire, but
she was not stopped till she iiad readied the
mid lie of the crossing between Parker,
O’Farrell & Co’s, and Melvie’s stores. There
someone succeeded in throwing a shawl or
blanket around her and smothering the fire,
and she was borne into the store of Parker.
O'Farrel & Cos., from which she was carried,
on a mattress that had been procured, to Mrs.
Jackson’s, on Clayton street, just in the rear
of Pitner s store. Dr. Gerdine was called to
attend her. She was found to be very badly
burned, 'out not fatally. it is thought. The
burning did not reach a vital part, and the
chief danger is apprehended, ve learn, from
the results of inhalation or 4 * swallowing the
flames.” The name of the unfortunate girl
is Ida O'Shiclds. She is about thirteen or
fourteen years of age, a daughter of Mr. John
B. O’Siiields, a well known and estimable
farmer of Jackson county, whoso home is
about twenty miles from Athens. Lie had
come into tlie city on Wednesday evening,
bringing his daughter with him. They had
spoilt the night in town, and on yesterday
morning, while the young lady was standing
I by the fireplace in Mr. Pitner’s store, her dress
caught fire, with the deplorable result above
i related. S1 so is receiving every attention at
Mrs. Jackson's, and wc hope she may soon
recover from her severe injuries. Several
: gentlemen had their hands burned in attempt
ing to tear tho burning clothing from her.
I She and her parents have the deepest sym
pathy of our community.— Athens Banner.

joy. happiness, and bliss than Carter had

than old Georg * Washington’s victories.—

A Rochester Physician’s Experience.
R. Caulkins, M. D., of Rochester, N. Y..
certifies, Oct. 6th, 1879. that he has used the
Safe Kidney and Liver* Cure in his practice
for diseases of the kidneys and liver, and the
resirit has been satisfactory in the extreme,
lie says ; •* I would now prescribe the same
remedy to all similarly afflicted, and you are
at liberty to so state in your testimonials.”
Seventeen newspapers are published in
Raleigh, X, C,
The Rome Courier says that the people of
Chattooga and Walker counties are aroused
on the railway question, and a road from
Rome to Chattanooga is an assured fact.
A botanist says that there are 42,000 dif
ferent kinds of weeds in the United States,
1,200 being found in New York State. He
speaks of tiie fire weed, the seed of which re
mains in the ground for years without sprout
ing, but shows itself when land is burned
over.
An Indiana man lately placed a brick in
a pillow ostensibly to play a joke on bis wife ;
but the next morning he flung the affair at
his mother-in-law and laid her out. He sub
sequently declared to tho Coronor that he
was only frolicking with her, and had for
gotten all about the brick.
The Enterprise states that last Friday
while a little negro girl, the daughter of An
thony Brown, who lives a few hundred yards
up the railroad, near Cochran, vras standing
in front of a fire, her clothing caught, and
there being no one near to help her, she was
burned so badly thatshe died Saturday morn
ing.
Swainsboro Herald : 44 We hope the recent
rains will swell the small streams throughout
the timber counties sufficient to float timber,
as many have timber on their banks ready
for rafting, and the present prices in Darien
are high enough to make it profitable to cut
timber, which has not been the case for sev
eral years.”
f ,
Camilla Dispatch : “ Notwithstanding the
discouragement of last crop season, the far
mers are going at it again with vim and per
severance. Fences are being righted up and,
cleaned round, prostrate trees cut up and
burned, new ground taken in and broken up
and composting with dissolved bone, cotton
seed, etc., is being done extensively, prepar
atory to the putting in of a heavy crop.”
The Albany News hears much complaint
from planters on account of the rust in wheat
and oats, and says that it seems that rust
proofs have failed under the pressure of the
warm fall weather and the protracted drouth.
Those who planted in October seem to be the
greatest sufferers ; and it has been practically
demonstrated that a mild winter in South
west Georgia is not very healthful to early
sown grain.
We learn from the Columbus Times that
on Friday morning, the 23d inst., while at
tending to In r household duties, Mrs. A. E.
Abell, who lives near Lumpkin, in turning
around near the fire place, set her dress on
lire and was soon in a bright blaze. She ran
out of the house screaming, and her husband,
who was near by, rushed to iier aid and tear
ing her clothing off saved her life. Fortu
nately, in running she went against the wind,
which blew the flames from her, and her hands
and arms only were burned.
44 On the last trip down of the steamer
i bit,” says the Columbus Enquirer , “the
G; ptain saw what he supposed to be the body
of a white man near the Georgia bank of the
river, just below Fort Gaines. It was im
possible on account of shallow watea to run
close to the bank, where the supposed corpse
was lying. On her up trip tho Captain
espied the body high and dry on land, sur
rounded by a flock of buzzards. It is
thought to be the remains of one of the Irish
lads who was so foully murdered at
Ala.”
Warrenton Clipper : “Mr. Mercer Elliott
Is about to effect a trade for his valuable
gold mines. He asks $30,000 for them and
the parties inspecting them think that a very
reasonable price. Mr. Elliott dug out of
these mines, just with Iris field force, $1,500
worth of gold one year. He has obtained
$2,000 worth of gold from them, and the}-
have since been lying idle from tho want of
a reliable company and experience on the
part of Mr. Elliott to develop them. There
are three gold veins of gole running through
a plantation of 800 acres, mostly of original
woods.”
The Albany Aeivs says : “ Yesterday morn
ing tiie extension train brought in five feet
of a huge rattlesnake, which was captured
in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, this
county, under the following peculiar circum
stances : A dog chased a rabbit till it ran
into a gopher, hole. When tiie owner at
tempted to draw the rabbit from his hiding
place he found that in that receptacle there
was a happy family, composed of a skunk,
the rabbit and a huge rattlesnake with eigh
teen young ones. Only five feet of the mon
ster serpent was secured.”
Says the Lumpkin Independent : “We learn
from Mr. L. Woodard, .Justice of the Peace
of the Richland district, that a negro woman
by the name of Rainy Daniel recently took
the life of her infant child, about two weeks
old, by choking it to death. She and he:
accomplices had hurried it in the woods, and
covered the spot over with leaves and brush
to conceal it. A row among the negroes im
plicated caused one of the party to tell on
the rest. An investigation was had, a jury
summoned and rendered a verdict in accor
dance with the above fact.”
The Atlanta Phonograph announces that
Colonel Fontaine. State Commissioner of Im
migration, proposes to bring one hundred
bovs over fourteen years of :.ge to this State
from the Children’s Aid Society of New York
and bind-them out to farmers. All ippli
cants must be indorsed by the committee.
Tire large boys are expected to work one
year for their board and clothing. At the
end of that time they are at liberty to make
their own arrangements, and are to be treated
by tiie applicants for them as their own chil
dren, in the matter of clothing and training.
Should a removal become necessary it can
be arranged. The society reserves the right,
of removing a boy at any time for just cause.
All the expenses of transportation are paid
by the societ}’.
Cherokee Advance: “One morning last
week a whole regiment of ‘armed cavalrj',’
it seemed, had as suddenly dropped in upon
us as a mosquito will light upon your nose,
and began to draw quite a crowd of inquir
ing persons about them. This ‘armed cav
alry,’ however, turned out to be a goodlv
number—some fifteen or eighteen—of the
revenue department. It was ascertained
from them that they were on a raid through
this and the counties above in search of illicit
distilleries. On their route to this place they
had overtaken and captured a Mr. Drown, of
Bartow county, who has for some time beer,
unlawfully peddling over the counties in a
closely boxed buggy ‘gin tools,’ as lie called
it, but which was afterwards found to be
more familiarly known as ‘ blockade whisky.’
He was taken care of by our jailer until they
were prepared to depart for—we know not
vyliere, but they are gone.”

For several years past we have sold the three first named brands, and the fact that our sales haw
increased from a FEW TONS the first season to HUNDREDS last year is ample proof of their ti.

several Tons. To those who want “ Acid Phosphate,” we say try the “ Pacific Acid,” and if he .i'
not please you, yours will be the first case that we have ever known since we have been handlin’

Which we confidently recommend as being second to none. It is a HIGH GRADE AMMONIA
TED GUANO, made of the best materials, and in such proportions as to guarantee the best result
We ask you to try it, and our word for it you will find it is all we claim for it. To those who hut
