The Master Commissioner’s Sale Yesterday _D. N. Stanton to the Front Again. From ibe Mobile Tribuno, 9th inet J The purchasing bondholders, who bought the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad two or three years ago for 81,300,- 000 and failed to pay for it, did not bid oil it at the sale yesterday, by order of the United States Circuit Court, in front of the Custom-liouBo Major T. M. LeBaron, the auctioner employed by Robert W. Healy and Na thaniel W. Trimble, Master Commission er?, at 12 o’clock announced the sale of the Alabama and Chattanooga railroad. Gen. Healy read,the advertisement that was published by order of the court, and when he had concluded Mr. J. L. Smith mounted the auctioneer’s block and said he had two papers to read for the inform ation of panics interested. The first set forth that the State of Alabama had a su perior lieu, which would prevent a title to the purchaser under the present sale. Being asked by whose authority he rep resented the State, an answer was given by Mr. R. Smith, of the firm of R. H. & B. Inge Smith, that his firm represented the lien of the State, which will be main tained for the benefit of the bondholders. The other paper related to the Ala bama and Chattanooga railroad sinking fund, created by the State Legislature. Next comes forward Stephens Groom, representing the State of Mississippi, to which the railroad owes taxes for 1874 and 1885, amounting to between six and seven thousand dollars, with the penalties added, which claim constitutes a lien on fhat part of the property of the road in that State. And now comes J. Little Smith, of the fnm of Herndon & Smith, representing a large number of holders of laborer’s hens. <!• Little Smith asked the master com- imssioners what they proposed to take in satisfaction of the 8100,000 cash payment by the purchaser or purchasers—whether actual cash or claims. Gen. Ilealy replied that they would re quire actual cash, certified checks or ac cepted drafts, such as any bank of good standing here would negotiate. then Sam Rice came to the front, as ■he representive of certain interests tected by the sale of the road. Ihe bidding then commenced, Major {foaron called for a bid to start with, m' Gmnilin bid 8100,000; then Gen. Usf, President of tho Mobile and Montgomery railroad, bid 8105,000. The next b,d was 8110,000, followed by bids 1 8 B 000 ' $260,000, 8260,000, 8275,- B 8280,000, and 8290,000 and 8300,- mV w ‘ 1Ic h latter was the bid of General Jd w * 10 rR tired from the field when X', raadin r “n it up to 8310,000, at '. l’ircc it was knocked off by the lioneer at twenty-two minutes 12.

The widow must °c:atm re j?? contest, ortho Dem* candidates will be elected. now Babcock has been “vindicated” again. The jury that has been hearing the ugly stories about him for the past two weeks left the court-room about 4 o clock this afternoon. They went to their room in the upper part of the court-house. While they, were absent, Boss Shepherd came iDto the court room and sat beside Bab - .' The Boss seemed very happy, and he wanted all to bo joyful. The hour of vindication was near when U. S. Grant, Jr., stepped into the court-room and approached Bait. Young Grant has been out of the city since Congress adjourned. He shook hands with Bab, and took the chair on the other side of him. Then Levi P. Luckey, who was for many years private secretary of the President, eamo in and took a seat. He was per fectly sober. , , Since Levi received the “ bounce” at tho Executive Mansion, he has drawn a salary as chief clerk in the Interior Department, under Uncle Zach Chan- dlor. A. C. Bradley, Shepherd's brotli- er-in-law, who figured at St. Louis as one of Babcock’s counsel, sat near. As did Mr. Pardon, ex-paymaster of Shep herd’s Board of Public Works. Behind this distinguished party were J. Harry Thompson, the English barber, who figures at the Columbia lying-in hospital as chief surgeon—of which Babcock is tho president—and a host of other ring-strikers, great and small. The jury had been out an hour when Shepherd suggested that all hands should go out and get a drink. Thomp son thought a smile would do Bab cock good service, but the great vindi cated did not feel like taking any more. Several of tho smaller fry thoughtlhere bad been a long time between drinkB, and went across the street to the “ hole in the wall”—the favorite tippling house of the court-house loungers. _ Babcock was now very nervous, and his cousel, Fullerton (who, by the way, fell a good dead short of what was ex pected of him here,) and Billy Cook, with tho Boss, kept him in conversa tion, so that the time would pass away faster. Two hours thus passed; the court room had been lighted up, and prepar ations, were being make for a long siege, when word came down from the jury that they hud agreed. One of the strongest points of defense before the judge that this whole safe burglary con spiracy was a huge joke. But to a looker-on about this time it appeared to be anything but a joke. The judge was sent for and the jury called. “What say you?” said the clerk; “do you find the defendants, O. E. Babcock and Thomas P. Sotnmerville, guilty or not guilty?” The foreman, a man named Jett, who furnishes his scaleB, weights, eto., to several of the Government departments, national and local, “truly loil,” an swered: “Not gulty.” As soon as he had the word “not” of his mouth, there was a shout and cheer sent up. Shepherd threw his hat up in tho air, as did several others. By the time the foreman got out the sec- and word, a half dozen sprang towards Babcock to congratulate him. Babcock improved in looks quickly. The judge, McArthur, who had been at banquets with Shepherd, Babcock and the whole party for the three minutes previous, tried to put on a little seeming dignity, and, turning to “the prisoners at the bar,” said: “ You are discharged ; marshal, ad journ tile court.” The court was adjourned, and then there was plenty of cheering, and the safe-burglary crowd, although consid ered in the minds of the people of tbiB District, as well as of many throughout the country, left the court-room. As Sotnmerville, who did not receive as many congratulations as Babcock, was walking out, some one said to him: , , “Well, old man, I am glad (0600 you alright. It was a huge joke, alter all, wasn’t it?” • . . „ , “It was just such a huge joke,” he said, “that if any more of them are to be gotten up, you can count me out. I don’t want any more of it.” The banquet given at Boss See. to-night, to the visiting foreign rifle teams, turned out to be in reality a re union and glorification night of the safe burglars. Babcock was there, fresh from the prisoner’s box, as was also Judge McArthur. Dick Harrington, it is said, sends his regrets. There was more than one drunken man taken home from Boss Shepherd’s mansion when the spree closed. Th.e jurors who did their duty to wards Babcock are to be rewarded—u what way it iB not yet known. But if I am able to usceriain in the future, 1 will let the readers of the Time* know. Some say that Wells, tho district attor ney, will have to step down and out. This is uncalled for, for certainly >' n did not strike Babcock as hard a blj as he should. Indeed, the prosecution on the whole was very thin, no effort seemingly being made to bring out ev idence against Babcock, and no partic ular desire being noticable to convict him. But it mattered not what evidence the jury that “vindicated” him would hear. The result would he the same. The trial cost Babcock and the ring at least $10,00ft,‘and, in their present state of finances, they will possibly feel that their so-called joke, op the whole, has i been a costly ono to them. Mortuary Statistics of Savan nah for the Month of Sep- ten; her. Mr. S. P. Bell, one the Savannah unfortunates, who is sojourning in Ma con, has kindly furnished us with a copy of a tabular statement of the interments in tho several Cemeteries of our afflicted seaport, prepared by Mr. John McLaughlin, from which wo con dense the following: In Laurel Grove there were 40-5 bur ials, of whiojp 264 wore from yellow fever, and lol from other causes. In Cathedral Cemetery, 310 interments; 267 from yellow fever and 43 the re sult of other diseasos. Evergreen Cemetery, 14 interments; 13 of which were yellow fever and 1 otherwise, Bonaventure Cametery, 6 burials, 4 caused by the epidemic and 1 from some other malady; making a grand total of 735 deaths—to-wit, 638 from tho prevailing sickness, and 196 from other diseases. The average mortality was 18 per diem, and of the total number 273, or nearley one-third, were children and youth. To show how much more subject to the malady is the while population, with about equal numbers, only 164, or about one-flifth of the deaths were ne groes. And from other source we learn that of that number, much the larger portion were half-breeds, or of mixed blood. The total deaths from causes outside of yellow fever reach the abnormal fig ure ofl96 during the month; which would show the prevalence of malaria to a most alarming extent. The usual mortality during the sum mer is 17 per week, or 68 for a month —showing an increase of 128 the pres ent year in September. These figures should be laid to heart by the Savannah authorities, that in future seasons the drainage of the city may bo made more thorough, and proper attention given to sanitary and hygienic rules.

Your congregation cannot become in terested in your preaching; and if you were called upon to preach unexpec ly, unless you could get hold of an old sermon, you would be completely con fused.” — - The young divine used all his elo- quence, but in vain, to convince the old gentleman that the written sermon expressed his own thoughts and feel ings, and if called upon he could preach extemporaneously. “As we are of the same faith,” said the young minister, “suppose you try me next Sabbath morning. On as cending the pulpit you can hand me a text from any part ol the Bible, and I will convince you that I can preach without having looked at the text be fore I stood up. Likewise, I must be allowed the same privilege with you, and see who will make the best of it.” The idea seemed to delight the old gen tlemen, and it was immediately agreed upon. The following Sabbath, on mountin the pulpit, his senior brother handei him a slip of paper, on which was written: “And the ass opened his mouth and spake ;” from which he prenohed a glorious sermon, challenging his de lighted hearers, and charming his old friend with his eloquence. In the afternoon, the young brother who was sitting below the pulpit, hand ed his slip. After rising and opening the Bible, the old man looked sadly around—“Am I thine ass?” Pausing a few minutes, he ran his fingers through hia hair, straightened his col lar, blow his nose like the last trumpet, and read aloud, “Am I not thine ass?” Another pause, in which a deadly si lence reigned. After reading the third time “Am I not thine ass ?” he looked over the pulpit at his friend, and in a doleful voice said, “ I think I am, broth er." ( N. Y. Sun: After all, the greatest question to be settled in the approach ing election of President and Vice- President, is whether or no tho self- government of tho people can be maintained in the United States. If, in spite of all revelations of the cor ruption and incompetenco which char acterize the Republican party and its leaders ; if, in spite of Belknap’s bribe taking, Robeson’s robbery, Fish’s die honorable complicity with Spain, Grant’s and Babcock’s relations with fraudulent distillers, and all the rest of that long and terrible catalogue of crime and misgovernment, the Repub lican party can still carry this election the fact will prove that tho office-hol ding machine is too strong for the peo ple, and that the party In power can never be turned out by the _ regular method of an honest election.
