Morgan. Sporu of the Afternoon-Exciting Tub Race Special Corroapondenco Savannah News Roue Hotel, July 4.—Taking ad vantage of the visit of the venerable Chatham Artillery and other military companies to Rome to celebrate the “Glorious Fourth” and go into camp for a few days, your correspondent has made his first visit to this “City of Hills.” Leaving Atlanta on a special train ut •i o'clock yesterday afternoon, we reach ed Rome at about ten o’clock. Much of the dislance was made attractive by varied and wild scenery, hills and mountains, rivers and valleys, and cot ton and grain fields in abundance. Crops, as a general thing, are in pretty good condition. As the train of the Rome railroad nears the city it makes a graceful curve under the towering hills, and passes around for a long distance, finding a depot on the banks of the river near the Rome Hotel. From this point gradually sloping streets run up into the elevated portions of the city. When our train passed the water-works it was saluted by the cool spray from a fine stream of water thrown high in the air by the yard hydrant. On reaching the depot wo found the Rome Light Guards drawn up in line to receive the visiting military, while a crowd of more than five hundred people greeted the soldiers with hearty cheers. The Ohathams, headed by their drum corps, marched off to Yeiser’s whero soda water was indulged in, and thence to their hotel. The Gate City Guards wero escorted by the Light Guards to a restaurant, and after partaking of snp- per were marched to their quarters. The brifliQ Light Guards arrived a day ewlier, and with the Rome Light Uiarda and Hill City Cadets, of Rome, are now in camp. Although arriving here over-heated ira wearied by the crowded and close ,“ n , lon of the cars, your correspon- nt awoke this morning in most excel- ent condition. Mr. J. A. Stansbury, fnvo Pr ° pri ^ tor oP t *'* B popular hotel, pe me a large, airy and ouiet room, ^a comf^tabl 0 night’s " rest was a ml l j. lr . ft b' e thing.

The orator of the day, Gen. John T. Morgan, of Selma, Ala., was escorted by the military, with the Governor and other officials, to the grounds of the Rome Female College, where a stand bad been provided for the occasion. The verandahs of the college were crowded with spectators, as were the spacious and shady grounds in front of this handsome edifice. After music by two brass bands, Col. Montgomery introduced Rev. Gen. C. A. Evans, as chaplain of the occasion, who offered a fervent and appropriate prayer. Judge John W. H. Under wood then read the Declaration of In dependence (from a newspaper), fol lowed by the orator of the day, ’whose appearance was greeted with hearty ap plause by one ot the finest audiences ever assembled on'a similar occasion. Gen. Morgan (with whom your cor respondent had some hard campaign ing in redeeming Alabama from Radi cal rule) never looked better, nor made a more favorable impression upon his hearers. He is now in the very prime of a vigorous manhood, erect and mar tial in his bearing, with a pleasant, smooth face and close cut moustaohe, and a style of oratory at once captiva ting and stirring. His speech was de voted mainly to the origin of the De claration of Independence and the early history of Georgia, and was replete with noble and patriotic sentiments and in teresting historical facts appropriate to the occasion. At the close of the ora tion, which occupied nearly two hours in its delivery, Gov. Colquitt, who oc cupied a seat on )he platform, was call ed for, but declined to respond at so late an hour, it being then after two o’clock. After dinner everybody seemed to have the freedom of the city. Camp Forrest was almost deserted, the mili tary preferring to dine in the oity and spend the afternoon in a social manner with their friends. Many visited Shorter Female Col lege, others went up the water-works tower to view the surrounding country, while not a few crossed the bridge and ascended to Myrtle Hill summit, where the foundation was. recently laid for the Confederate Monument. The view of the city and country is very fine from this point of observation. At four o’clock an immense crowd jathered on the banks of the clear and jeautiful Oostanaula river, where the tub race was advertised to take place. Five contestants put in an appearance, dressed in boating costumes, and with ordinary waBh-tubs. A good start was made, one man sailing off finely, pass ing the flag station, and reaching the end of the course all right. The second man fol'owed some distance behind, but reached the end without mishap. All the others, sooner or later, upset, thereby furnishing lots of fun for the spectators. It was, however, the best tub race I over witnessed, and refleoted great credit upon all parties concerned. were forma!? 8 ' 1 tlle varioua companies Hurke oT.k '£ a battalion, Capt. J.

A very large and well constructed plat form was crowded with “fair ladies and brave men,” conspicuous among the latter being the elelegant uniforms of the Chathams. Atlanta, Griffin and other places are well represented by society ladies of rare attractions, and Romo’s fair daughters furnished a full supply of charming partners. Moon light nights make the nightly dances at the camp unusually popular and bring crowds of interested spectators. Of the location of the camp and other matters I shall sneak in my next letter. Chatham. The Murphy-Hill Matter. Savannah Kona. The Atlanta Constitution disoredits the report mentioned by our Washing ton correspondent that Messrs. Hill and Stephens, having become reconciled to each other through the intervention of a mutual friend, are to unite in an ef fort to induce the State Legislature to reject the majority report Of the commit tee of investigation in tho Murphy case, were and adopt the minority report. The Constitution says: “That Mr. Stephens should be ready to fall into line with Mr. Hill on this matter, when it is known that he has uttered sentiments directly the reverse, is pressing too much on the reputation of a statesman who is proverbially cau tious. We have never believed that Mr. Hill would ask the Legislature to do anything in connection with this matter. He became satisfied at the laBt session that the Legislature would adopt the majority report, and he will not therefore renew the contest before the present session. We are, in faot, con vinced that he will abandon the cose be cause he is not satisfied with it as it stands. We hope, however, that the Leigislature will not permit the inves tigation to be dropped without taking such action as justioe dictates. If Mr. Hill has magnified an alleged private wrong into a public wrong, let that be established, and let the blame and the condemnation whioh the foots justify fall in the right places. The publio good demands that there be no suppres sion of the truth in this notorious case.” Mr. Hill publishes a letter in the At lanta Dispatch, in which, alluding to the report that he was to appear before the General Assembly in connection with what he calls the “Murphv-Col- quitt matter,” he says: “From the be ginning of this investigation I have de clared in every form that I would not under any circumstances act the part of prosecutor of any one. Neither time, inclination or propriety would permit me to do so.” From this we infer that it is not the intention of Mr. Hill to appear before the Legislature in person to press the rejection of the majority report and the adoption of the minority report of the investigating committee. But as he in the same letter reiterates and “reaffirms with increased emphasis all the state ments” contained in his oircular address of January last, and expresses the hope that in disposing of the Murphy case “the Legislature will not attempt under any pressure to commit the State or the Democratic party of Georgia to the jus tification, excuse or palliation of what " .o undisputed facts make a case of un mitigated corruption,” it is clear that Mr. Hill is “not satisfied with the case as it stands,” and that though he may not assume the role of “prosecutor of any one,” his utmost influence and that of his friends will be exerted to reverse the verdict of the majority of the inves tigating committee. Mr. Hill admits that “propriety” for bids his appearing as prosecutor before the Legislature. It would seem that the same sense of propriety, if it did not prevent him from making the original charge of corruption, should deter him now from attempting to infiuenco the decision of the Legislature. All the “indisputable facts” of the case have boen thoroughly investigated, and Mr. Hill is sustained by neither the major ity nor the minority report of the in vestigating committee. Under these circumstances it would seem that Mr. Hill might safely leave tho matter in the discretion of the General Assembly, who have the honor of the State and of the Democratic party and the principles of right and justice quite as much at heart as himself.

A most shocking burning accident ocoured at the residence of Mr. Thomas Bolling, on West Franklin street Rich mond, Va., at a late hour last Wednes day night. Miss Lou Bolling, a daugh ter of tnat gentleman, in endeavoring to light a taper with a pieceof paper, communicated fire to her dresB and Mrs. Thomas Bolling, Jr., in an effort to extinguish the fire, was envoloped in flames. The cries of the two ladies brought to their assistance the husband of the last named lady, and Mr. Hud gins, a boarder in the house. These gentlomen made every effort to save the lives of the two ladies, and in so doing the hands and arms of Mr. Bolling were so badly injured that he will probably lose the use of them. Mr. Hudgins was severely burned about the shoulders and breast. MiBS Lou Bolling was shock ingly burned, from the effects of which she died Thursday evening, after, the most excruciating suffering. Mrs. Bol l ing was also seriously injured, but will probably recover. The deaeased was about twenty-three years old. Bolling is a Henry Aylett. Several of the lawyers of the Darke county, Ohio, bar are in. trouble, in order to make out a strong case against Mrs. diet was gained on this r --- , mony, but a new trial has been ordered A Loyal Missourian. A mau with a one-eyed horse, rigged in a straw collar and dilapidated, old- fashioned trace-chainB, rope lines, and wagon to match, was seen in camp on the banks of Sand Creek lost week. He wore a coon-skin cap, breeches of many oolors, the groundwork of whioh was yellow butternut He sported a long, old-styled rifle, and a “yaller” dog guarded the property. The family was all in character, but beyond our knowl edge of millinery to describe. When asked if he was on his way to Leadville, he said he had never “hearn of the ilace,” and when asked where he was iound for, he said: “Book home to old Missouri. I left there just after the war, when the robs had everything their way, and went to Texas. But Mother day I hearn a feller read in a paper that the thing was all right again, and that the old bounty on wolf skelps had been put back again to $5, and I thought I was sure of a living anyhow." Who says there is no immigration to Missouri? A wooden doll whioh William Penn brought over from England as a present to ona of his daughters, is still cherish ed by a Washington family. It is known as Lstitia Penn, the name of the great Quaker’s daughter, and is a faded beauty, twelve inohes high, without a joint in its -body.
