THE LOST SCBULLiLEK,
Details of the Disaster—Statements
of Survivors.
Prom the New York "World, 2lst.J
The English papera received by yes
terday’s mail contain long reports of the
loss of tho Schiller, with many state
ments by survivors. All the reports co
incide in asserting that much confusion
prevailed, and all farther agree - in - de
scribing the conduct of .Captain Thomas
in the crisis that followod the wreck a3
devoted and gallants
Silas Baxter, cabin passenger from New
York,’states that two'days out bad weath
er and rain set in, and continued without
intermission. On the fatal Friday a
heavy fog came down, growing thicker.
The ship kept on at fall speed, with the
sails np, till 8:30 p. ii., when she was re
duced to half speed, a rate maintained
till G-.30. “The fog all this time wa9 so
thick that we could hardly see our hands
before oar eyes. Then the bell wa3 rung
again, and just as the bell rang I heard
the ship strike on the rocks and felt her
bumping.” A great many of the male
passengers were then on deck, looking
for land which they expected to sight at
8 o’clock; the women and children were
below. He describes a scene of panic,
women and children screaming and run
ning about, and on deck “a number of
people were screaming and bellowing."
Ho jumped into one boat, whence he was
driven by those already in it, and on try
ing to enter another was told to let go or
his hands would be cat off. Finally be got
into another with seven men, the fall was
cat, and after some difficulty they righted
her and bailed her out. They kept row
ing about the ship until 6 in the morning.
He says:
All this time the fog was very thick,
and we conld see nothing but lights in
the cabin of the ship. All the while the
screaming was heartrending, but we
could seo nobody on board. The crie3
for help lasted till abont 4 o’clock. The
last that I heard, and which I never
shall forget, was the voice of a little
child, who was, a3 well as I conld tell, in
the first cabin. It wa3 abont 3 o’clock
when the lights in the cabin and all the
others except that at the masthead went
ont. Mixed with the heartrending screams
we heard was the loud cracking of the
ship as wave after wave broke upon her,
the reports of which sounded like thun
der. "We continued round the ship till
abont 6 o’clock, when tho foremanst with
the light fell, and then we conld see
nothing more of the vessel, though we
could hear the water breaking over her,
and conld see the spray dash over the
hull, the masts and the chimneys having
then all disappeared. The fog by this
time had cleared somewhat, and we
could see about thirty or forty yards.
About 7 o’clock they picked up two
men who were floating j at 8 they heard
a steamer and saw five or six vessels, but
these did not notice them and disappear
ed. Finally they reached shore. The
order was given to place the women and
children first in the boats, and there
were several of them in the first boat
lowered, but it was capsized.
Charles Frabam, of Davenport, Iowa,
one of the two men picked up, was on
board till 4 o’clock. He last saw the cap
tain between 1 and 2, “very calm, and
trying to make the people keep so.” Half
an hour after the vessel struck the waves
began to dash over her and carry away
passengers. At 4 ho wes swept eff, but
secured a door and kept afloat. HU
twin brother wa3 washed off at the same
time and drowned.
Simon Jensen, the chief boatswain,
stated that the Schiller struck about 10
o’clock. At 10:30 he got out his boat
with five men and left the ship. At
11:30 he took eleven men and one wo
man, Mra. Janes, from the life-boat,
•hicb was sinking and unmanageable.
He adds:
Mr. Pollen, the third officer, was among
those rescued from the life-boat. There
was a great rash for tho boats, but I can
not say much about what passed on
board, because mine was the first boat to
leave the ship. The captain did all he
could, though it was little impression he
conld make on the frightened passengers
who crowded np the hatchways. The sea
was not very high when the Schiller
struck, but it increased very much after
wards, and scores of women and children
must have been washed overboard during
tho night. When the foremast went
there were about thirty-Sve in it3 rig
ging, and only five of them were saved,
the fourth officer among them. Things
were made worse on board the ship by
the tide rising, and eventually the entire
hull was covered.
Mr. Henry Stern, first-cabin passenger,
states that tho position of the vessel was
not known till midnight, when the fog
cleared and they could see the Bishop’s
Bock light. Some ten guns were fired,
when the powder became damp. Says
Mr. Stem:
Captain Thomas ordered the hosts to
be launched, and I assisted in launching
four, bat there was such a crash and such
a tremendous sea running, that they
were swamped almost immediately. Be
tween one and two o’clock in the morn
ing the pavillion over the saloon, in which
the women and children were all h addled
together, was struck by a heavy sea and
washed away, the unfortunate people be
ing, of course, washed overboard with it.
At three o’clock Captain Thomas was still
on the bridge, when he was called down
to eavo some person. He went down on
deck, but a sea came in and literally tore
his clothes from him and afterwards
washed him over the side. Tho unfortu
nate man hadfnot been in bed for five
nights, and throughout the trying and
tcrriblo scene he acted with coolness and
bravery. Ho was, however, obliged to
use his rovolver in order to keep proper
discipline, and Bbveral times he fired over
the heads of some of the crowd who were
pressing on tho men that were endeavor
ing to launch the boats. I now took to
tho rigging, where I remained until near
ly daylight. Tho foremast rigging,
whero I was, was carried away, and all
who Were in it were left struggling in
the water. I succeeded iu keeping my-
■slf afloat until I was picked up by a
fishing boat.
Tho steerage steward, Frederick
Wcrmke, stripped himself to the shirt
and trousers when ho saw what had hap
pened, took two knivc3 and ran on deck.
Ho then ran to a boat and got in, being
followed by many others—so many that
they had to send some ont, otherwise the
boat would have sunk. They lowered
her down, and lay by the steamer for
some hours. Once they asked those in
another boat to lend them a bucket, but
they kept his boat off, saying they had
no suoh thing, and apparently fearing
that he wanted to put some of his men
on board of her, for they cried out, " We
are full already/’
Second Officer Edwin Polemann, in his
account of the catastrophe, says s
I ran to the bridge whero the captain
was. When I reached him he had just
telegraphed down into the engine-room
to go astern, but tho waters rushed over
tho deck, and seeing that tho fore com
partment had filled I told tho captain
that to go astern would be of no use. The
ship then hfeeled over to Btarboard, and
the captain ordered the boats—of which
we bad eight—to be got out a' quickly
as possible. I ran to tbe quarter-deck,
and we lowered the two quarter-deck
boats, down to which there was imme
diately a rush. Then I went to the main
deck, where the chief officer wa3 launch
ing one of the main boats. It was very
heavy. Of tho eight boat3 we launched
seven. There was very great difficulty
in launching some of these on account of
their weight, and the way in which the
vessel lay with tho waves washing over
her. At length we succeeded in launching
No. 4, and I was then ordered into her by
the captain to take charge. There also
got into het^three^hiale'passenger,.a .wo
man, and seven of tho crew. As tho boat,
however, was being lowered a deep wave
came and swamped her and we were all
capsized. We managed, however, to re
cover tho boat again, and kept her up as
much as we could. She was, however,
full of of water, and we had to stand np
in her all the time for three hours.
The look-out man at St. Mary’s heard
a gun at 1 o'clock, bat did not take it for
a signal of distress, and believing that
the Schiller had been unable to show
lights in the fog and had fired her gun as
a signal that sbe had passed, telegraphed
to this effect to Plymouth, where the tug
boat and the post-office officials got ready
to receive the mail steamer.
In the evening of Friday barrels of
flour, mail bags and light wreckage were
washed ashore. The heavy weather and
fog continued throughout Saturday, and
the people worked at considerable risk.
Late in die evening a fishing boat, tho
Robert, arrived at Penzance, the captain
reporting that when returning from the
Scilly Isles fishing grounds she parsed
through quite two hundred floating bod
ies, many of them women and children.
They were being driven by wind and
tide towards the main land.
Obadiah Hicks, Trinity boatman at St.
Agnes, was first to discover the wreck.
He heard a gun between midnight and 1
o’clock, which he at onca concluded to.
be a signal of distress. “At 4 o’clock,”
he says:
“I went off in a boat with six men to
the western rocks. We went round most
of the rocks and saw nothing. About two
hours afterwards, when on the point of
giving it up, the fog lifted up a little,
and we observed two mast3 and the sails
of a vessel. We immediately pulled to
wards it. We had not been approaching
it long when we found that one mast was
gone. We knew it was a vessel wrecked
on the Betarrier ledges. Then we heard
shout3 of men, and soon afterwards came
amongst some that were floating. All
this time the foremast was still standing
and the rigging was crowded with peo
ple. Wo were unable, on account of the
sea being so rough, to go close enough to
save them, and as we could be of no more
service there we started for St. Mary’s to
send off a steamer and life-boat, but
when they got to the spot there was no
opportunity to save life.
A telegram from St. Mary’s, on Mon
day evening, the 10th, thns describes the
first visit to Scilly:
Tho voyage was sadly eventful. Just
past the Rundlestone small pieces of
wreck were met with, and shortly after
wards a mail-bag of New Zealand papers
was recovered. Proceeding on,the wre&k
increased, until suddenly the order to
stop was given. A dead body bad been
sighted. A boat was lowered, and the
body of a man, who, judging from his
clothes, was formerly steward of the
Schiller, was brought on board. A life
belt was still attached to the body. One
hundred and forty dollars were found in
the pockets. Two more bodies were
sighted, but the boat failed to reach
them. At Scilly we found all tho mast3
with their flags half-mast high, and a
heavy gloom seemed to be settled over
the isle3. St. Mary’s pier wa3 crowded.
Close by, in a spacious court-yard, pre
parations wero being made for the de
cent interment of bodies that had come
ashore. The funeral was singularly im
pressive. All business was suspended,
and the whole of tho inhabitants at
tended. The islands cannot boast of
hearse or mourning coach, and to
have carried by band thirty-seven
bodies wculd have been more than
the limited male population of St.
Mary’s could liave accomplished. And
yet the spectacle was exceedingly solemn.
It moved the stoutest to tears. The cof
fins were born on little two-wheeled carts
drawn by the shaggy ponies of the island.
Each pony was led, and so slowly did the
procession move in single file that it was
long ere the thirty-seventh cart passed
out'of the spacious courtpard. All the
coffins were painted black, and every one
was bestrewn with flowers gathered from
tho blooming gardens of the Scillonians.
Though far away from their homes, the
deceased were not buried without some
token of loving care. Herr Beiderer, one
of tho saved, followed behind the coffin
containing the bodies of his wife and
child. Aronnd one coffin were gathered
the Good Templars of the island; some
token found on the body revealed to them
that tho deceased belonged to that order.
The place of interment was a mile away
from the pier. The way to it lay over a
ragged road, commanding a fine view of
the sea all round. In the church-yard
two large graves had been dug, and into
them the coffins wero piled. Two inter
ments had taken placo previously, but, in
view of the largo number of bodies to be
buried, it was found impossible to have
single graves for all.
It appears, says the Daily News, that
on tbe fatal Friday night there bad been
a party on board in honor of the officers,
but this wa3 in no way allowed to inter
fere with the efficient working of the
steamer. The party bad broken np some
time before the Schiller ran on tho Bo-
tarrier ledges, and all tho officers were in
their places. Though it was tho mate’s
watch tho captain was on tho bridge.
The manner in which tho women clung
to the captain was most heartrending,
and when duty compelled his attendance
in another part of the ship ho had to uso
main force to clear himself of them.
The enginers and stokers did a very
plucky thing. After the ship hod struck
they went below, shnt off steam and pnt
out the fire so os to prevent an explosion.
Perhaps this goes some way to explain
how it is that no engineer and only one
stoker is amongst those saved.
Several made the mistake of lushing
themselves to the iron masts and rigging,
bO that when the masts went the people
were carried to tho bottom without any
chance of -rising. Mr. Stern, one of the
saloon passengers saved, had lashed him
self by a slip knot, and when he felt the
mast going he released himself. Not
withstanding this he was carried to the
bottom, but, being free, he soon rose, and,
fortoately, close to a life buoy and a spar,
with widen bo supported himself till
picked up by the boat of St. Agne3.
EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS.
The whales have had a comparatively
easy time since petroleum was discover
ed, but it seems that they are now going
to suffer again since whale oil is coming
in demand, for some cause or other, and
the New Bedford whaling people are fit
ting ont a large fleet for a regular old'
fashioned whaling cruise. For years the
business has been as dead as it well could
be, but the old Now Bedford wharves are
now said to be alive with busy prepara
tion. One hundred and eleven ships will
soon be started out.
His Address at the Texas State Fair
—A Brief Allusion to the War,'and
, Several to the Ladles—The Nabllity
of Labor—Need of Manufactories In
the South. . ■
1 The Galveston News brings us a fair
synopsis of the address delivered by the
Hon. Jefferson Davis at the'Texas'!State
Fair, in Houston, on the 11th ‘instant.
Ho avoided reference to.'contemporary
politics, and alluded but onoe.only, and
attsOibriefly, to the late wur. He said:
r, Ladies, Countrymen, Friends and Fellow-
citizens of Texas—for I am proud to ho
one: I have had too many evidences of
your affection not to be entitled to that
honor. I have for many years desired to
pay a visit to your State. I wa3 prepared
for all that hospitality conld offer. I wa3
prepared for all that generosity could
give. In the day of trouble and disaster
you would not turn your back upon me,
This is your honor, that while other na
tions have held their leaders responsible
and received them with curses as the au
thors of their misfortunes, you have not
chosen to hold me responsible for your
miseries. The welcome with which you
have received mo makes me almost unfit
for utterance. You are tho descendants
of those brave men who, true to their An
glo-Saxon instincts, achieved a glorious
victory on the soil of Texas, from tho
smoke of which tho Lone Star rose and
shone with bright effulgence. "With the
recognition of your independence you be
came fit to take a place among nations.
You achieved all that could be achieved ;
but your hearts yearned baok toward the
Union from which yon came. Fonr times
and thrice happy to standin the presence
of snch men. Five times and four am I
proud. It has been said that the last
war was a war of women. If so, I hug
the charge to my breast; I am proud
of it. v •
I was told that I was not expected to
deliver you a formal address; noi- shall I
do it. But upon coming here I find that
this is the opening of the State Fair, and
it would be like the play of “ Bichard”
with King Bichard left out if I did not
make a speech. Your purposes are agri
culture, mechanics, commerce. Agricul
ture was the first employment of man.
From the record of creation—that record
which wo know to be true—we learn that
when the Creator had separated the land
from tho water, created the fishes and
the birds, one thing more wa3 wanted to
utilize this creation—man to till the soil.
Bight well has-your president told you of
the honor and duly ofs.the work. But
there was still one thing more wanted.
Man was created out of the dust of the
earth and made a living spirits But
something more was required, something
nobler, for the creation of woman-Trthat
dust etherealized and ennobled was used
for the creation of woman, and wo are all
the descendants of the Adamic race. By
tilling the soil wealth is created, manu
factures change the condition of the pro
ducts of the soil, and increase their value;
commerce interchanges their location,
and thus • increases their ‘value;
but, agriculture alone produces wealth.
“Bftt it may not bo that agriculture shall
look down on commerce and manufac
tures. That would be as if the hand
should say to the head and the heart,
what use have I for thee? Mechanics
and commerce follow in the footstep3 of
agriculture. One of tho two sons of
Adam kept flocks and herds, and so you
who live in tho vast plains of Texa3 are
included in the list of laborers. You
have now reached a point where manu
factures are springing up in Texas. As
a Southern man I have often been asham
ed that the very broomcorn which grows
in our fields is taken to a Northern vil
lage, where timber is loss plenty than it
i3 with us, and made into brooms, brought
back, and that our blessed women are
required to sweep their floors with a
Yankee broom. Why not make our own
wagons, carriages and wheelbarrows?
Why not spin our own yarns ? The profit
would be greater and the freight les3.
Then you may go on and make cloth; but
it will not bo until you havo a crowded
; jopulation that you can produce the finer
i’abrics. I am not of those who would
have you turn away from tho fields to
seek the profits which agriculture would
give you more readily. I do not intend
to tax your patience by telling you all I
know about farming.
[Mr. Davis here made a graceful allu
sion to the Grangers, and the advantages
to be derived from a concentration and
accumulation of capital.]
I hope the time will come, he continu
ed, when Texas will make nil her own
agricultural implements, and that our
women may have time to read as many
novels as they please, without being
forced to help their husbands compete
with Illinois in the cultivation of their
fields. To get our full benefit of good
wo must have direct trade. Direct trade
will increase the profits and diminish the
cost. Direct "trade will enable you to
send out ship3, which, like Noah’s dove,
will go to and fro over the earth promo
ting the peace of nations. Then, if ever,
are nations to be unified, swords beaten
into ploughshares, and spears into prun
ing hooks. But to do this wo must have
ports, and wo will havo them. I am glad
to seo that tbe works begun for tho im
provement of tho harbor of Galveston
are successful, and that there is an equal
prospect of the improvement of your
own bayou. The Biver Clyde was a
smaller stream than your bayou, suitablo
only for sloops and schooners; but they
havo dredged it out until its artificial
channel accommodates tho largest ship
yards of the English navy.
Mr. Davis hero alluded at some length
to tho invention of a ship which pro
posed to carry 10,000 bales on sixteen
feet of water. By the aid of such ships,
he thought, that tho harbors of the Gulf
would bo served. This ship had been
tried and found to succeed, making one
knot more to the hour than other vessels.
Their great breadth of beam, so ho ar
gued, would accommodate immigrants in
large numbers. This brought Mr. Davis
to tho question of immigration, and ho
urged upon the people tho necessity of
providing for immigrants, establishing
agencies in Europe, and argued that it
would be better even to pay for tho pas
sage of immigrants than not to get them
at alL Mr. Davis laid great stress upon
the necessity of making no promise
which could not be sacredly kept. He
showed how the railroads had succeeded
in bringing immigrants to tho country,
and he thought that if they could do it
to Northern lands, Texans, who had the
advantage of them in soil, climate and
other facilities, could do more. Pass
ing iu brief he reviewed the products
of the country, and said: “Bat it is only
after you have raised everything a man
wants to eat that you can do this. "When
you go to an inhabitant of Great Britain
and toll him that Texas produces all
kinds of fruit and grain, and then that
you import your meat and flour from tho
North, ho may not toll you that he don’t
believe you, but he hardly does. You
must not buy a barrel of beef and pork,
or of flour; you must have a plenty to
feed the hungry [inn!) parts of the State.
Passing from agriculture to mining, Mr.
Davis, in a rapid review, referred to the
development of the metalic resources of
tho State. Ho prophesied that when ar
tesian wells shall have been dug the arid
plains will become great grapegrowing
regions, and that there was a man on the
platform abundantly able to bring arte
sian water to the surface. In conclusion
the orator returned, in a voice all tremu
lous with emotion, his heartfelt thanks
for the sympathy extended to him and
the honor and hospitality of his reception.
A NEW BLYAL TO TOM THUMB.
Daniel B. Davis, Aged 10 Years, and
Weighs 54 Pounds—Description of
Himself and Parents.
It is not generally known in Beading
that there lives in thi3 city one of the
most remarkable dwarfs to he found in
this country. Such is nevertheless the
fact. His name is Daniel B. Davis; ho
will be 19 years of aga in a short time,
and his present weight is 54 pounds. He
stands 48 inches high, and ta in every
way well proportioned, fine looking,
pleasant in his character, and intelli
gent. H« ta the. son of Frederick Davis,
an engineer employed in tho new rolling
mill,, this city. The young man lives
with his parents at No. 800 North Eighth
street, thta city.
Tho son is attendingtho Business Col
lege in Beading, and when an Eagle re
porter'called at the house yesterday af
ternoon, the young man was not athome,
hut was subsequently seen. . Mr. 'and
Mrs. Davis, the father and mother, how
ever, wero at homo. They are perfectly
healthy, of ordinary height, developed
the same as other people, and are an in
dustrious and respectable family. They
have lived in Beading about eight years,
having moved hero from Safe Harbor,
Lancaster county, whero the husband
and father was bora. Mrs. Davis’ maiden
name was Stain, and though bom in Bal
timore, she is directly, related to the
Hains of Berks county. '
Mr. Davis is a man about 42 years of
age, stands five feet eight inches high,
and weighs probably 160 pounds. Mrs.
Davis is several years younger, and ta
about the same height, weighing proba
bly 130 pounds. They said that their
son when quite young was very , sick, and
that they could assign no reason for his
stoppage of growth other than the re
sults of taking such large quantities of
drugs. Ho grew to his present height
when abont nine years of age, and for the
past ten year3 ho has not grown a quar
ter of an inch in height. A*bout a year
ago he went south and picked up a few
pounds in his weight.
Later in the day the writer met the
diminutive young man. He ta remarka
bly well formed and his entire make up
is in perfect harmony. He is a trifle
pale; has a smooth white face; largo
dark eye3 well shaped with heavy eye
brow; a well shaped head covered with
light hair cut short; and his clothing is
cut like those of any other man. He
wears a picadilly collar, has a frank open
way of talking, a clear ringing voice, and
ta just as interesting as can be. His
hands are no larger than an infant’s,
while hta feet are also very small. He ta
square-shouldered, perfect in his back, a
well-shaped breast, and his arms and legs
are in fine proportion.
Naturally he ta quick and intelligent.
He has an active mind and possesses
Treat taste for music. Ho plays several
instruments very well. He also mani
fests a fondness for telegraphing. Some
months ago he was examined physically
by Dr. Luther, who pronounced him solid
and sound in every way, shape and form.
He ta a great favorite among his friends,
being pleasant in his communications
with everybody, and manifesting equal
respect for all who seem interested in his
welfare. People in his neighborhood call
him “Danny Davis,” and in manyrespects
he may bo compared with General Tom
Thumb and Commodore Nutt, both of
whom aro remarkable for their agiliiy
and bodily symmetry. When Stratton,
or “Tom Thumb,” as ho ta called, was
five years of ago, he wa3 not 24 inches
high, and weighed less than 16 pounds.
Tom Thumb was born in Bridgeport,
Conn., and Danny Davis, in Safe Harbor,
Lancaster county. He is quito a talker,
and is very gentlemanly in all his ac
tions.
Instead of being dragged around the
country and exhibited by an itinerant
show company as some great “Lilliputian
King,” hta. Davis is going to a business
college and ta preparing to earn an hon
est living for himself in a legitimate
way. In olden times dwarfs were con
sidered quite fashionable appendages to
tho courts of European princes, and the
families of the nobles, but our Beading
Lilliputian ta preparing to work his way
in tho world in quite a different manner.
At present Mr. Davta ta in very fair
health, ta holding his own in weight, but
dees not expect over to arrive at the full
hight of man. Ho is being taught book
keeping, and ho writes a very fair hand.
Ho visited tho Eagle office this morn in,
whero he watched with great interest tl
revolutions of the Eagle's largo four-cyl
inder printing press, throwing off sheets
at the rate of ten thousand per hour. He
has a fair knowledge of general matters,
and all his ideas seem to be centered on
his business. All in all he ta one of the
most interesting Lilliputians to bo seen
anywhere.—Beading Eagle,

Just before leaving the city of B., a

THO Mecklenburg 1 Centennial.
Under this head the Herald of Friday,'
says:
We have not dissembled our deep anx
iety that _ tho Mecklenburg Celebration
should satisfy public expectation, and our
columns for tho last month bear witness
that we have done all in our power to in
vest it with interest. Our zeal has been
stirred—first, by a genuine sympathy
with the local feeling in North Carolina ;
secondly, by a conviction that these pre
liminary centennials are a gauge of'the
patriotic feeling of tho country by which
the country may judge, of the great cel
ebration next year; and, thirdly, and
more especially, by a feeling that the
success of these patriotic festivities at
Charlotte would bo a test of tho interest
of the South in the great occasion which
ta beginning to attract the attention of
all civilized nations.
We feel greater satisfation in tho
Mecklenburg celebration than in Lex
ington. Concord and Ticonderoga, be
cause it has taken place in the South and
is a conspicuous proof that the recent
civil war has not quenched nor abated
the patriotic spirit of that section of the
country.The’glorious'mamories of the Ee-
volution are the strongest bond union of
between the the North and the South,and
we fervently rejoice at the proof given
yesterday that the emulous patriotism of
Carolina founded on Be volutionary mem
ories ta not inferior to that oE Massachu
setts. How trivial ta tho recent contro

comparison with thta proof that our civil

ism 1 The Centennial Celebration in
North Carolina deserves more credit than
that in Massachusetts. Charlotte ta not,
like Lexington and Concord, in the im
mediate vicinity of groat cities like Bos
ton and Lowell. It is not located in a
densely populated section like Eastern
Massachusetts. It had not the attrac
tion of the presence of the President and
his Cabinet and the participation of lit
erary men known to fame. And yet its
streets were a3 thronged, it3 military
and civic display as imposing, and tho
success of its celebration as great as
that in the most densely populated
part of New England. This speaks well
for Southern patriotism. It proves that
the spirit of our forefathers burns even
more brightly in Southern than in North
ern hearts. It shows that the South, in
its unsuccessful attempt to secede, did
not intend to desert the principles of tho
American Bevolution. The fact that the
Confederate constitution was copied al
most word for word from the constitution
of the United Statesprove3 thatwhileaim-
ingat a geographical separation they still
clung to the same political principles
which were held by tho founders of the
Bepublic. We hail the success of the
Mecklenburg celebration, its great out
pouring of people,' it3 pride in national
memories, its reverence for our. Revolu
tionary fathers, its satisfaction in South
ern priority in efforts for independence,
03 the most auspicious and healing event
which has occurred since the South laid
down its arms in the spring of 1865. We
are now confident that the great Centen
nial celebration next year will restore the
harmony of the Bepublic after the unfor
tunate estrangement of the last fifteen
years. .

A RAT STORY.
Rat Poison and tbe Effects ot It.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The
tribe of rodents that infest corn cribs are
a nuisance. They are a burthensome tax
that but few farmers take into account.
They don’t know tho expense of keeping
rats. If you havo corn they destroy it.
And when your com gives out they eat
up all your young chickens. In antebel
lum times they have often destroyed in
fant slaves which would havo been worth
hundreds of dollars. The rats on my
place had carried on such a war against
my corn crib as to drive me to any emer
gency to get rid of them. I am afraid
of rat poison, and have never used it with
any success. Traps are too Blow, as they
don’t catch them a3 fast as they increase.
So thta morning I went to work with six
colored men and one whito besides myself,
and four dogs, and by seven o’clock we
had successfully poisoned eighty-one rats.
The dogs were not the regular kind
either which havo an established fame
for poisoning rats, bat old-fashioned half-
breeds of bull and bound. Ah, sirs, it
would have done your hearts good to
havo seen that half bushel of rats—so
still, so quiet—peacefully slumbering.
No longer have traps and snares any
terrors for them. They rest from eating
corn, sucking the blood of chickens or
gnawing tho heels of infant Hamites. Six
months ago tho rat3 on my place wero
destroying only about as much com as
one mule would consume. For one
month past I think they have disposed
of more corn than my four mules have
cat. I could stand it no longer. I had
moro corn than I wanted and sold about
sixty bushels, but now if oat3 do not
hasten I will have some corn to buy. All
from feeding rats. Tell the farmers that
six or eight good hands with sticks, picks,
and spades and four or five dogs, consti
tutes the best rat poison I know of. Kill
them. Hunt them. Tear down your
fodder stacks. Bip up your bam floors,
and dig them out of the earth. Hunt
them to their dens and break them up.
All go to] work and let’s exterminate them.
Don’t wait for a rainy day, but stop plow
ing and go at it. As soon as your com ta
eat up they will destroy your chickens,
and when the chickens are gone they may
seize yea or your children in bed and
mortally wound them. Let it be war to
the knife, and war to tho bitter end.

THE MACON AND BRUNSWICK
RAILWAY INJUNCTION.
Justice Bradley’s Decision.
From tho Atlanta Constitution.]
John P. Branch vs. the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad Company, and Ed
ward A. Flewellen. Bill for injunction
and receiver.
By an act of the Legislature of Geor-
gio, passed December 30,1866, the Gov
ernor of the State was authorized to place
the endorsement of the State upon the
bonds of the Macon and Brunswick Bail-
road Company to the amount of ten thou
sand dollars per mile, for as many miles
of railroad os might be completed, pro
vided the road was free from liens or
mortgages to endanger the securities of
the State, and upon the express condition
and understanding that such endorse
ment should vest the title of all property
purchased with said bonds in tho Stato
until the bonds should be paid, and
should operate a3 a prior lien or mort
gage on all the property of the company,
and on failure of the company to pay in
terest or principal when due it was made
the duty of the Governor, upon informa
tion being given, to seize and take pos
session of all the property of the com
pany and apply the earnings of the road
to the extinguishment of the bonds or
coupons, and to sell the road and its
equipments and property in such manner
and at such time 03 in his judgment
might best subserve the interest
of all concerned. The amount of
bonds authorized by thta act was
isused and endorsed by the Gov
ernor in accordance with the act,
amounting to $1,950,000. In 186S, the
people of the Stato adopted a constitu
tion, by which it was, among other
things, provided that the credit of the
State should not be granted or loaned to
aid any company, without a provision
that the whole property of the company
should be bound for a security of the
State, prior to any other debt or lien, ex
cept to laborers, nor to any company in
which there was not already an equal
amount invested by private persons. On
the 27th of OctoberT 1870, the Legisla
ture passed an act, amending the act of
December 3,1866, before recited, so ast6
authorize the Governor, to- place the en
dorsement of the Stato to the extent of
three thousand dollars per mile, upon the
bonds of said company, in: addition' to
the ten thousand first , authorized. Un
der the latter ; act, the company Issued
and the Governor endorsed bonds, to the
amount of $600,000. : ■
On the I4th oF August, 1S72, the Legis
lature by resolution declared the State’s
guarantee placed on the bonds of the said
company binding on tho State. After
wards the complainant became the pur
chaser and owner of a number of bonds
of the last issue of $600,000. Interest
not being paid on the bonds, the Gover
nor of the State, in July, 1873, seized and
took possession of the railroad of the com
pany, on behalf of the State, and ap
pointed a superintendent to conduct its
operations, and the State, by its agents
appointed by the Governor, has bec-n in
possession thereof ever since and up to
the present time. The defendant, Ed
ward A, Flewellen, being now the agent
or receiver, having tiro management
thereof. On the Gth cf March, 1S75, the
Legislature passed a resolution declaring
the first issue of bonds valid and binding
on the State, but the second issue of
$600,000 unconstitutional, null and void,
and also declaring that the Governor
ought to sell the road, property and fran
chises of the company as early as practica
ble, upon such terms and for such price in
money or first mortgage endorsed bonds
of the said company, or bonds of the State,
a3 in hta judgment might bo consistent
with the interests of the State. According
ly tho Governor, on tho 5th day of April,
1875, issued his order directing tho said
Flewellen .to advertise tho sale of the
road and property of tho company, at
auction in the city of Macon, on the first
Tuesday of .Juno next, upon the terms
mentioned in the lost resolution, and the
said Flewellen ha3 advertised tbe same
accordingly. The complainant filed the
present bill, praying for an injunction to
prevent tho said sale, and tho appoint
ment of a receiver to take possession of
and sell the said road and property, un
der tho direction of thta court. The
ground of the application is tho appre
hension that in accordanco with the leg
islative resolution of March 6th, 1875,
tho second issue of bopds is to be repudi
ated, and that no part of tho proceeds of
said railread will bo appropriated to the
sale of his bonis. The ground on which
the complainant claims a right to-have
the railroad and other property of the
company seized and applied to the pay
ment as well of tho second issuo of
bonds as of the first, ta the well known
principle of equity that a security given
by way of indemnity to a surety may be
reached and applied directly to the pay
ment of the debt, and the surety cannot
prevent snch application.
In other words, that the creditor will,
in equity, bo subrogated to the rights of
the surety in reference to the security by
which the debtor has indemnified him
self. The g'reat difficulty in this case
arises from the fact that .the surety tathe
State ot Georgia, and th^t the said State
ta, by its agents and officers, in posses
sion of tho property given by way of in
demnity. In order to effectuate the ob
jects of this bill, the Stato must not only
be displaced and tbe bondholders subro
gated in its stead, in . reference to the
property in question, but the courts mast
dispossess the State ofthe actual posses
sion of that property. Of course this
court has only co-ordinate jurisdiction
with the State courts, ia this matter, and
can only‘do what the State courts them
selves could do in the exercise of general
equity jurisdiction. The Supreme Court
of this State has recently held, in tho
case of Priuthp ,vs. the Cherokee Rail
road Company,' 45 Ga., 365, that tho
courts of-this.-State havo-no power-to
take a railroad nut of tho possession of
the State. As the question is one Of gen
eral consideration,- not depending upon
any special statutory law or the State of
Georgia, thta court'qs a court of equal
and co-ordinatb qqtisdfCtion, would not
feel absolutely fefrnrid"’by that decision,
but would only.giva it such regard os tho
respect due to- jd\at learned court .. .:.
WHICH HADE IT WOULD PitOPHPT.y OT.
QUIRK. ....
"Wo aro of ■ opinion,-however, that tho
decision- has many considerations of
weight in its favor. 'While it ta true,
that in the case of Osborn vs. the United
States bank, and Davis V3. Gray, the Su
preme Court of the United States sus
tained suits against State officers for the
recovery or protection of property be
longing to the complainants or their trus
tees, in which tho State had no interest
or right, and the pretensions of tho
agents, in behalf of tho States, were un
constitutional and void. We think no
caso can be found in which any court has
assumed jurisdiction to interfere with
property in the possession oE the State
and admitted to have ooma rightfully
into its possession. In thi3 case the rail
road in question is as much in possession
of the State itself as ta the State-house
or any other property belonging to it.
A«d then the title, by which the com
plainants seek to have this court take
possession of tho property and wrest it
out of tho hands of tho State, ta one
which admits the title of the State, and
is, in truth, none other than that of the
State itself to which the complain
ant seeks to be subrogated. The
court ta asked to name a decree,
operating directly Upon tho rights of
the State, and transferring them to tho
complainant and tho other bondholders.
It ta nob merely tha possession of its
agents, but the actual right and title of
tho State itself, which are sought to ho
affected and transferred. Wo think till;
cannot bo done without making the Stato
a party to the suit, which cannot bo done.
The State has provided 2 security for its
own indemnity, to bo managed in it3 own
way by its own officers and agents. Can
such a security he taken out of. its hands
at the instance of tho creditors ultimate
ly to bo benefitted ? Can the State he
charged as trustee for those creditors and
compelled to give up tho trust fund by a
court which has no jurisdiction over it?
It seems to ns that the difficulties of the
case are insurmountable. Again, the
Stato evidently intends to question th8
validity of the bonds of the second issue,
and, if liable only for tho fires issue, ta
interested in having the indemnity fund
applied to the. satisfaction of that issue.
To sustain the complainant's caso the
court would be compelled to decide upon
the State’s liability on its guarantee of
the second issue of bonds without having
it as a party before it, and, if satisfied of
such liability, would havo to decide to
that effect, because the complainant
and his co-bondholdere have no claim
against the railroad except through
the equities arising from a valid guaran-
tee of their bonds by tho State. The
court ta called upon, therefore, to adjudi
cate directly upon the State’s liability,
on the guarantee, without having any
jurisdiction over ij, as a party, and hav
ing decided in.fayor of that liability, it is
then called upon to' dispose of the fund
which tho Stato has taken for its indem
nity. The case, therefore, involves a di
rect adjudication of the rights and lia
bilities of the State, and an ultimate ex
ecution of property in its possession, the
State, at the same time, denying its lia
bility and insisting upon its right to
maintain its lawfully acquired possession.
It seems to ns, that this is asking the
court to go further than any court has
ever yet gone, except where legislation
has been adopted, authorizing the Stato
to be sued, in the same manner as a pri
vate party. At all events, the right of
the complainant ta, to our view, so doubt
ful that we do not feel authorized to ex
ercise the extraordinary powers of thta
court sought to be put into operation.
Without attempting, therefore, to point
out to the complainant what other reme
dy he has, except to rely upon the good
faith of tha State of Georgia, we feel
compelled to deny the motion for an in
junction and 1 the appointment ef a re
ceiver.
Tbe Movement Against Third
Term Aspirations.
From the Baltimore Sun.l
Washington, May 23.—Advices havo
been received here that a number of oth
er counties in Ohio will follow the exam
ple of tha Summit county convention
taken yesterday, instructing the dele
gates to the Republican State conven
tion to favor a formal declaration against
the third term. That the Ohio conven
tion will take this action ta looked upon
now aa very certain. It ta also thought
here that the efforts which have been at
work to prevent the Pennsylvania Re
publican convention which meets on
Wednesday, from making any allusion to
the third term will certainly fail. The
example set by Pennsylvania and Ohio in
this matter will without doubt bo fol
lowed by the Republican conventions of
most of the other States which may be
called together in advance of the meet
ing of tho national Republican conven
tion. A rumor was circulated among the
politicians around the hotels to-day that
a letter from the President on the third
term which would settle all doubts would
bo produced at the Pennsylvania con
vention. Although some affected to have
confidence in this statement, tho great
probability ta that there ta no foundation
for it.
Correct.
We invite attention to tho advertise
ment of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insur-
inco Company, of Hartford, Conn.,
