“ Wkpiwsoav w* the xnnlvomary
of the snmndor at Appomattox—
nineteea short years, but they have
witnessed the total obliteration of
that rank animosity between the two
sections that Misted at that time.
The only way to settle the Tilden
■ problem is to nominate the old ticket
and elect It. Tilden has always been
a great farorlto in tbts part of the
Senth; and the people felt like ho
should have been nominated four
years age, as his letter to the eonven
tlea was not a positive declination.
Th* Meats has passed the educa
tional Mil, which will distribute sev
en uiiiltous among the states accor
aut hipiiliri fcr the fnrihcranco of
.'education, and hope this bill will bo
come a law. ! ~
When Atlanta policemen take
.drinks in a bar-room together, they
“turn their backs to each other so that
* neither can be a witness against the
other in cate (hey are hauled up be
fore the court* for disregarding the
ordinance on this subject. This I*
what might be called “whipping the
devil around the policemen.”
Hen. Gordon and Gen. Grant have
joined hands in New York, in a most
noble undertaking—the effo.it to raise
meney for the establishment of a heme
In Kieli mend for Confederate soldiers.
While Northern soldiers draw pen
sion* from the exhausties*treasury of
the United States, Southern soldiers,
many t whom arc tn perhaps great
er need, have no resources whateter
upon which to depend.
W and not believe that a governor
I of Georgia ever h*d bis admlnistra
tteu mere thoroughly endorsed by the
* people than Governor McDaniel.
There !• not a whisper of opposition to
being re,nominated that we hare
beard. It must be mutually gratifying
to both h)a Excellency and the people
be has the honor to servo, to hare his
administration acoord so strictly with
their views of what it should bo.
It i* a matter to be regretted that
the executive comaalttee should have
catted raw state convention*. It la
well to have the people come out ouee
AWh year or two to voice their soati
ueate and put men of their choosiug
In nomination, but to call them out
unnecessarily for the second time
IlKhfg Ctolr months Is giving them a
lltttenraw work in that line than they
wtft relish. The redeeming feature
in the matter though is that there
will be Tory little exel ement to the
gubernatorial campaign

Telegraph and Messenger: My
.sasm haa been flieotioaodin different
parta of the State an a probable can
didate before tits Democratic coiiven
tlan TorGoTernor. 1 hare received
s large number of letter! from par
tial fret ad • urging me to permit tho
sae of my junto for the nomination.
I have not thought It necessary until
now to publier make known my
wishes on this aubjcct, because there
had boon no eall for a enliven lion, and ,
I had no reason to think, from wliat
had been said, that I would he re- j
qnired to my anything upon the snb- j
jeet. 1 see that the convention has
been called to meet on the 13th day j
f August. I am also informed ,
that It is the purpose of my triends j
in the State to send delegates ta this j
convention instructed to vote lor me i
tor Governor. While I feel flattered |
by the kindness shown in this es.
pression ef confidence on the part of
my freimls, I deem it my duly to say
that I will not be a candidate, and
hence do not wish my name used iu
this connection before the convention.
The people have already intrusted mo
with atvoffico, the term of which docs
not expire for the next two years,and
I shall for the present discharge
the duties they have intrusted me
with to the best of my ability. Be
sides, I hare no desire to antagonize
the administration of Gov. McDaniel.
I thiuk ho has tnado a Governor
satisfactory to the people and they de
sire his renomination. It has been
an unbroken precedent fer thirty
year* m this Blate to indorse the Gov
ernor when ids admlSt ration has been
honest ami faithful, and he so desired
if. ,1 think it would be attended with
bad results to the party if (Ms preced
ent was attempted to be set aside,
during an exciting Presidential year,
simply to gratify the desire of some
one else to fill the office.
With sincere thanks to my Glenda
for tbs Interest manifested Inc me in
this connection; and for the kind no
tices from the pros*, which 1 duly
appreciate,and hope always to deserve,
I most respectfully ask, ter the reasons
•boys given, that my name be aot
■used in the approaching convention
as a candidate tor Governor. Re
spent fully, T. J. Simmons.

We taka the following account of
the disaster from the Atlanta Constitu
tion : The steamer Rebecca Evering
ham was burned on the Chattabooshoe
river a few miles above Ftoreue, loot
Thursday morntilg, at about4o'clock,
and eight lives were lost. About 4
o’clock, a. in., the engineer on watch
rang an alarm signal to the pilot, who
catted to the officer* on watch pud
naked If he must, go to the shore, hen
he was at oneo ordered to do to. The
pilot signaled the engineer to work
for thh shore, but got no response, JJe
than headed (tie bout for th* Georgia
shin, and the momentum site had car
ried her almost to the banks. ! The
pilot on watch ordered his young son,
Prank Lapham, a youth sixteen' years
old, to Jump overboard witba line and
twins ashore and make the boat tout
to a tree. With unsurpassed heroism
this boy sprang Into the river, struck
for Uw there and reached It safely
and tied the boat up. In the mean
time, the fire alarm was rung by pi
tot George Lapham, and the pasten
gera aroused from their sleep to find
the boat tn fiainos. All was con
fusion and disorder, but the officers
of the boat wore heroic In the perfor
mance of thtlr ditty, ahd *u fib red
great peril and nearly all of them
were wounded or burnt. The ftames
wrapped the beat in their fiery era
brace and seemed to lick It up. Cap
tain G. B. Whiteside was severely
burned on tone head and hands. K. l>.
Williams. I.aGrange, G*-, fs| tote
burned. J. T. Caw, MsiritW t Pin*
ueer, painfully burned,
There were 807 bales of cotton
aboard thestonmoL 2Jof which wore
taken on atEufaitla. It Is said the cab-,
ins and th* upper part of the boat wore
consumed In flvo minutes. She was
mado fast to the shore bjr two hawsers,
which ware finally burnt. She re
mained tied to trio bank about 4&
minutes, when Iter moorings burned,
and the wreck floated snf into the
stream, drifted about 106 yards oar
reened,arid sank. The fire brake out
among the cotton just aft amldshlp.
It Is not known bow it originated.
When tliri boat neared the shore a
lady apraug overboard and lodged iu
In a tree top, from which she subse
quently fell and was rescued by pilot
Lapham. This bravo officer saved
the lives of two ether ladies and u
listed Captain George Whiteside
ashore.
The Everlngham waa a compara
tively naw steamer, the and
finest on the river. She was operated
by her Joint owners, Captain S. J.
Whiteside and others. She belonged
to whet it known aa the Central line.
Nothing Was saved. The passenger*
and those of the erew who were not
on watch escaped tn their night

Two Brothom Shot to Death h Their
•later *• ITmteqil
At Zonotiown, near this place, aaya
a Bernice (Pa.) special to the Now
York World, Jacob Shelly shot and
killed James and Joseph Morrill,
brother*, at Shelly's house last night.
The shooting glow out of tho rnar
rUgv of Shelly l Ida Morrill, a sis
ter of tho brgihsfs, for about two
years Mis* Morrill, wljo Is a tall,
handsome blonde, aged 22, and well
educated, has bceu receiving the at
tentions of Siielly. She is the daugh
ter of D. C. Morrill, a well-known
citiven of that plane, aud mingled in
the best society, ivjecliug the atten-
lions of all young men until she met
.Shelly, who came here five years ago.
and who lias acquired a notorious
reputation. It was stated that prior
to his coming here ho had aerred a
live-year term in an Illinois prison
for horsc-thiering. lie is a remarka
bly baudsomc man, and was a favor
ite among the ladies until hit charac-
ter became known, lie met Miss
Morrill aud an attachment at once
sprang up between them. Her pa
j rents paid uo attsntion to tbo matter,
until it became (be gossip of the vil
lage, when they commanded her to
cease encouraging the attentions of
Shelly. She did not promise obedi
ence, but tlielr meeting* became less
freqncut, aud when she met him it
was always lu the proteuoo of a third
parly.
During his drunken sprees Shelly
had repeatedly asserted that he J
could marry Misa Morrill whenever
lie liked, aud that he would do io la
spile of tho parents. James Morrill
her brother, met Shelly on the street
some months ago and asked him if he
said so. Shelly laughed at h|m and
a fight ensued, in which young Mor
rill was beaten. This intensified the
feeling in the Morrill family, and a
close watch was kept on Ida’s move
ments.
Yesterday afternoon she was missed
from home, and the unusual and pro
tracted absence at once aroused sus
picion. Her father went to tho vil
lage In the evening and found that
Shelly and Ida had been married by
a Justice a few hoars before, and that
she accompanied Shelly to h>* home a
short distance out of town. He re
turned home and informed the dis
tracted family. Two of the girl’s
brothers, Jamts and Joseph, deter-
mined to see their sister, and went te
Shelly's home, where they found her
in company with Shelly and his moth
er. Beth boys began to abuse Sbeliy
roundly, and finally James Morrill
lost central of his temper and struck
Sbeliy in the face with his clinched
fist. Both men then grappled and
fell to the floor. , Joseph Morrill
sprang te his brother’s assistance; and
together they began to beat Shelly
violently. The latter succeeded in
breaking leose from them, and
drawing a revolver, ordered both to
leave the house. Ther I and
drew revolvers, but before they could
use them Shelly fired, tho ball strik
ing James Morrill in th* left side
und penetrating the Jung. Upon e
-tng hit brother ft||l Joseph fired, the
bullet shattering Shally'a left arm.
Bbelfy returned the fire, th* ball en
tering Joseph’* head.
The shots attracted the attention of
the neighbors, and in a few minute*
a crowd rushed into th* room and
fonnd Shelly and hit wife quarreling
over trie prostrate bodies of her
brothers. Shelly surrendered hiin
aelf, saying he had shot both In self
defense. Ho waa held to await lire
result. At noon to-day the report ot
their, death wa# received. Shelly’s
sloay that As acted in self-defense Is
corroborated by what little evidence
cab be elicited from hi* half-crazed
wife and tils mother. It is claimed,
on theother hand, that tho Morrill
boy# said that Shelly fired bofore cl
ther bad struck him. Public senti
ment iu regard to the affair i* di
vided. __
