The Doctors in attendanoe on Gen.

The End of the Renfroe Case.
Atlanta Constitution.
The Supreme Court of Georgia yes
terday decided what is popularly
known as the Renfroe case. With the
main details of this cause celebre
readers are familiar. While holding
the office of State Treasurer, Mr. John
W. Renfroe was impeached for receiv
ing and retaining interest on certain
moneys belonging to the 8tate.
is tried by ths Senate, and the eharg-
against him weie not sustained.
Under a resolution of the Legisla
ture, executions ware issued against the
property of Mr. Benfroe’s securities on
his two bonds. These were enjoined
upon constitutional grounds and the
State then proceeded against the securi-
the second bond for the amount
of interest claimed, with the interest
thereon, and ths ronnd sum ot 635,000
in penalties. The defendant and his
■ecnritiea demurred, relying chiefiy up
on ths fallowing, points: 1. If any in
terest had been received by the treas
urer, it was reeeivsd in violation of ths
law regulating tbs offioe, and his offi
cial bond waa made only to protect the
moneys reeeivsd in accordance with
the law governing the office. Therefore
there could be no liability on the bond.
2. The penalties were imposed person-
_, lv on the treasurer, and did not in-
live indemnity to the State. There
fore, the only liability therefor waa on
the treasurer personally, and not an of
ficial liability on his official bond.
Judge Hammond in the court below
iverruled the demurer. Yesterday the
Supreme court ravened his decision,
sustaining the demurrer on both
grounds, Chief -fustics Jackson dissent
ing, and Associate Justice Blanford de
livering the opinion. The decision of
the court will be read with great inter
est, as it covers legal point of vital itn-
C nce and ends a case, which has
occupied the public mind.
Beecher on Evolution.
Addressing himself to his subject,
“Evolution and Revolntion,” Mr.
Beecher proceeded to entertain his hear
ers with that raciness of speech, and
depth of thought for which be is fa-
moos. Man’s origin would always be
wrapped in myxtety, he said. So was
the world’s birth. The so-called Bible
theory that the world was created in
six days of twenty-four hours each and
only six thousand years ago was,ab
surd. Ths age of the world probably
reached into the millions of years; man
waa evolved from a lower animal life,
probably a half a million years' age.
The story of Adsm and Eve in Eden
six thonaand years ego wonld hardly
bear ths light of investigation. It was
an improbable, unreasonable story.
The origin of man is a sensitive point
with many peoplo. The weight of
scientific belief, especially in Germany,
is In favor of the descent of man by
evolution. They even point at onr an
cestor. They say it waa an apt. Men
have pride of ancesfry. They resent
this insinuation. What a foolish
alarm this is. No matter if ws did de
scend from an aps so we deeoended far
esongh. The great question is not
wha: ws were, bnt what we are and
what ws shall be. We are more inter
ested intbepreeentand fntnrethan in
the past. The real belief of tbe evolu
tionist on this point is not that we de
scended from the ape, but that away
beck yonder in tbe process of evolution
from one germ branched out in one di
rection tha form of life which became
the ape, and in another direction
branched out the form of life that be-

Snrrra Rcfcbucax: — Supposing
that your readers have rested about
long enough, I propose to again tax
them lightly with a communication
from the “seat of learning,” for besides
its importance of an educational centre,
itisacityof unparalleled wealth and
enterprise, at least, in Georgia. This
corporation extends over a territory of
three or four square miles and yet its
streets are admirably lighted almost to
the city’s limits. Resides this the tel
ephone system of tbe city is a most
perfect one, connecting scores of wires
at a central office and thus enabling
any one to converse with a friend in
any part of the city. This is found to
be very convenient as it enables one to
transact a great deal of business in any
part of the city without leaving home.
Information can be gathered or news
sent much quicker and cheaper than
by any other method. It is used very
extensively by business men and Ly
various families in ordering goods
from the stores, in summoning physi
cians and enables a man to know when
and where be can find another person
without first running all over tbe
eity.
By far tbs most useful enterprise of
Athena, is its superb water-works by
which the city is provided with
abundant supply of water, the benefits
ot which it would be difficult to over
estimate. In the summer the dust can
b« laid in the streets or yards which
adds much to the comfort ot all ; and
then as the supply is unlimited, fiowsrs
snd vegetables can be watered, with
comparatively no labor, as tbe pi
in the tower on one of the city'
heights is sufficient to force it to a co
•iderable distance, and by means
rubber hose can be guided in any direc
tion. Thus you see comfort and utili
ty is blended and combined, form
matter of no small importance and
ry man is repaid many fold tbe trifling
expenditcre necessary to secure this
convenience. Bnt even these fall
insignificance when we consider its val-
^ie in case of fires. So efficient is il
such instances that an ordinary fire
can be extinguished readily without the
assistance of a fire company. In the
six months that I have been here I
confident that 6200. will cover all the
damages by fire notwithstanding the
fact that this is a city mnch larger
than Americas and that a fire alarm
sounded almost every week. I doubt
if there be many cities in the Union
the nine of Athens that has oo organ 1
iaed fire company, but here there is
ly a volunteer company with nothing
to regulate it but the members interest
the city. However this is a very ef
ficient one and 1 believe, has borne off
all the honors for which it has
contended. The rate of iusurance it
self is insignificant and while
is perhaps not exceeding one half that
paid by Americas and hundreds of
other towns, yet the insurance compa
nies evidently make more money
here than elsewhere as the premiums
though small is that much made,
bolieve I told you about the Southern
Mutual, which has its principal office
here, getting so mnch money on hand
that the courts were called
tribute it, and they finally compromis
ed, paying four lawyers sixteen thou
sand dollars each and that too, when
they had performed little or no service
in the matter.
At the University, preparations for
commencement have began. Speakers

undergoing a complete renovation and
I understand improvements wjll be
made costing from 65,000 to 60,000.

HIS DEATH SONG.
KMIKEXT SOUTHERN LAWYER.
A Jacksonville, Fla., special says:
Last evening Mr. H. B. Plant, of New
Fork, capitalist, railroad man and
President of the Southern Express Com-
pany, was coming down the St. John’
nver from Sanford on the steamer De-
i r n' • A^ompanying him were sever
al officials of his various companies,in-
clndmg Col. F. E. Whitfield, of Mis
sissippi, a distinguished public man of
that State, and the attorney of Mr.
Plant’s corporations.
When owing Pnlntkn the party had
gathered around the piano in th
loon, and Colonel Whitfield, who
a voealist of much power, was l ......
Uining with songs the gsy party of lar
dies and gentlemen. Suddenly, afte-
stnging a plaintive ballad with unnsnal
tenderness of expression, he turned,
faced his audience, grew pale, tottered
in his seat, and without a word fell
dead. Hit remains, accompanied by
his wife, reached tbe city this evening,
and were forwarded for interment to
his home in Corinth, Miss.
Col. Whitfield was reckoned ne»,
Mr. Lamar tha moat eloquent man in
Mississippi, and the brightest political
hopes were entertained for him by his
friends. His death is felt keenly by
Mr. Plant and the officials of his
corporations.
Relief from Malarial Poison.
For six months past I have been af-
feeted with a very serious case of ty
phoid malaria, which I contracted on
my orange grove in northwestern Flori
da. I tried several remedies, but ev
erything failed me. Two weeks ago
I purchased a bottle of SwiftV Spe
cific, which has proved a sure cure for
this dreadful malady. I I,ad almost
given up hope of ever being well again,
for I had tried so many remedies, all
of which had failed to do any good.
Would to God that all the afflicted
people residing in the malarious coun
ties of Georgia, Florida and Alabama
would read this and try the S. 8. S.

Rev. Saaa J<
large congregation at Nashville, Sun
day. In his sermon he used many
crisp and quaint illustrations. He said
the church members of Nashville sold
all the whiskey for many miles around.
Church members, wholesale liquor
dealers, sell to all the infernal bar
rooms in the city. Such church mem
bers are the devil’s oldest sons. Whis
key is a good thing ia its place, but
that place is in hell. Some church
members say they drink it for their
health, but tbe devil would aa soon
they run their fool selves to hell drink
ing for their health as any other way.
He said if Christ and the devil were
running for Mayor of Nashville, he
was strongly of the opinion that, if men
voted as they lived, the devil wonld
beat Christ ten to one. Nashville had
ten bar-rooms to one church, and
gambling hells, and ten children
born to every one that entered the king
dom of Christ. “How long”
quired, “would it take the goepel to
conquer Nashville at that lick?”
A* IKDIGNAXT NASHVILLE MAX REPLIES.

referring to the remarks above made,
has this to say;
Will yon permit ai
not a whiskey relief,
horse racer, nor interested in the thea

of the day, and is not connected with
anyone that is, and who is not a minis
ter of any chotch, neither deacon
elder, to say a few words in reference
to the reported sermons of Rev. Sam
Jones, now preaching to crowded
booses in this city? I notics the fol
lowing: “If a man in Atlanta
write to a Nashville firm to send down
all the real good men of the city, they
would be so few and so light that they
wonld be sent by mail with
stamp to carry them.”
This great apostle turned to Dr.
Witherspoon and told him if a line
were drawn in his church between the
true Christians and those who were
not, he wonld not have a hundred mem
bera in his chnrch. What chnrch?
The grand old Presbyterian church,
whose members were 'ever noted for
their piety and Cnristian charity.
Again, ha says: “The church mem
bers of Nashville sold all the whiskey
for many miles around.” Is this true
or false? If true they ought to be turn
ed out of the church; but if false, what
ought to be done with a Christian
