On Tuesday morning, when off Gape

from the northeast from the commence
ment oE the trip, aiguted the steamship
City of Houston boned couth. „ The wind
increasing and hauling easterly daring
the day, aaa at font p. m., blowing very
hard from the east; altered the course of
tho ship more easterly for sea room. At
ten p. m., wind blowing abnrriceno with
very confuted sea and ship laboring very
heavily* Ship hove 1 o. At one a. m.
Wednesday, judged myself off the shoals;
sounded in fifteen fathoms; wind south
east and ship beadirg south southeast,
gals still very violent and boa very Irregu

sounded and found eighteen fathoms wa
ter, ship working off end wiud going
more southerly. At four c. m. the en
ginecr reported makirg more water and
having bilge injection and syphon at
work, but the vessel wan laboring very
mnob and lyiog over, cr.ubiog the water
to lie in the bilge. Wore ship to brief:
her more upright, so that the engine anc
pumps conid work to. greater ad vintage
After getting-the vessel off before sea
the engineer reported some improvement
and pnmp9 gaining on tbe water. Boon
siterwarcs a report from the engineer in
formed mo that the water was ega n gain
ing and tbe ship was at this time laboring
n th- cross se;.s v. ry muon. Shortly the
report that the water was fgstttng to the
free, and about hah past five r. m , the
portfires were extinguished; tlen, find
ing nothing more conid be done, I or
dered tbe to ds to be go! ready far lower
ing.
About 6:30 a. ir., the fires being ei
tmguishcd, orders were given the crew
to prepare to leave ship; at 7 a. in., low
ered the boats aucoesstully end manned
them and got them away from the ship,
with the exception of one k p: under the,
lee baw for tbe last one; hoisted the ec-
lign nnion down, then launched life raft
successfully. At 7:30 the ship was evi
dently sinking, and fearing should she go
down the boat at tbe lee bow might be
swamped. I concluded to abandon the
ship, and sa-ang into the boat and pulled
to windward, ordering tbe other boats to
do the same. Weather was raining and
misty, with heavy sea on, bat boats do
ing well. At 9:30 a. to., discovered a
schooner to the windward^ under short
sail, end pulled for her, the boats at times
taking much water. At fl:30 tbe ship
was seen to go down.jitera first, in about
thirty-fivn fathoms frnter. At 2:30p. m.,
whilst it wJs raiding qnite steadily, and
the wind increasing, arrived alongside of
the schi oner Drew, bonnd to Jackson
ville, end the crew were rescued and beats
haded in on schooner. Tbe life raft was
abandoned after its use. Toe schooner
then proceeded on her course, end ar
rived off Charleston fishing grounds on
Saturday at 7 o’clock a. m. Chartered
the fishing smack Whip-poor-will to take

p. m. Arrived in Savannah 11 a. m. Sun
day. Before leaving the ship examined
damage. Tbe bows and forward part
seemed to have dropped and wood ends
started.

Tour true lawyer is a gentleman, every
inch of him. Hi? profession, next to that
of the minister, is tbe noblest of them ail.
If he is an' honorable lawyer, he will oe
an honorable gentleman. A knave can
be a lawyer. Knaves have aspired to the
pulpit to preach God’s gospel. We have
farmer knaves, mercantile knaves, and
knaves in the department of mechanics—
ail sorts and classes and professions of
rascals. Why should we single out the
legal knave then, and hold him np as a
sort of scarecrow for tbe balance of tbe
world? Some idiot started the hne and
cry against tbe lawyers, and the world
has echoed it—that’s all of it. They have
damned tbe lawyers and the mothers-m-
Jaw. No doubt aboot that; and yet there
are thousands of honorable lawyers, and
millions of first-class mothers-in-law.
Take the material of oar legislative as
semblies and ysn will find a great pro
portion of the members to be farmers and
mechanics, a few lawyers, and jnst a
leaven of circuit riders. What is the re-
salt? The judiciary committees are
formed, composed entirely of lawyers,
who monid legislation and the laws, tak
ing eat that whioh is hnrtfol and leaving
in that whioh 1b good; 1 the work comes
back to tbe houses and is voted on and
passed by the farmer members, and the
preaoher members bless tbe work next
morning at prayers.
We mesa no disparagement to the far
mers and preaohers in drawing this illus
tration. There are good, substantial,
sensible, level-headed farmers and
preachers of coarse, and it’s good to have
plenty of them in the legislature and In
congress and elsewhere to proteot all oar
varied interests, bat we mast have law
yers too to give shape to onr laws. Let
us hear no more Rgainst the lawyers.
There are good men amongst them. If

Bzv. Dn. Teabdali, a noted “revival
isr,” is at Augusta, and will held a se
ries of meetings this week at tbe Curtis
Baptist Chnrcb.
We mn’ilate the fair proportions of
the Chronicle and Constitutionalist to the
following extent:
Augusta has received np to date, since
September 1st, fifty-six thousand, five
hundred end seventy-five bales of cotton
against thirty thousand fonr hundred and
seventy-three for the same period of last
year—an increase of twenty-six thousand
one hundred and two bales. Nearly all
of this cotton has been sold as fast as
reached the city. At an average of forty
dollars per bale, a little lets than nine
cents per pound, it has brought two mil
lion, two bundrtd and sixty-three thous
and dollars.
Some time ago tbe Chronicle gave a list
of entries for tbe jndiciai races in Novem
ber. In that arnolo we stated that so far
as we knew there was bm one candidate
in tbe Brans wick Ciroait—Judge HarriB,
the present incumbent. It seems that we
did injustice to the publio spirit and pa
triotism of that section of tbo State,
communication from Mr. IraE. Smith,
published elsewhere in the Chronicle tbiB
morning, states that there is another can
didate, Hon. M. L. Mersbon, of Bruns
wick.
The Conrfifufionhastha following ac
count of a resent difficulty between Sen-
ator Hill and Mr. J. W. Murphy, of At
lanta, some details of whioh have been
known in this city several days. We
printjthe article in fail, giving as it does
in what purports to be a fall aooount of
all tbe matters in controversy between
the parties, and of the bonds in question
about which the difficulty arose:
Daring tbe latter part of last week an
occnrrenos happened that the pressure of
the fair and its multitudinous happenings
kept from receiving earlier attention.
As it is a long story, it is beet Ihat we
should begin at the baginning and ran it
straight through—premising onr natit
live with the statement that, owing to tbe
thousand conflicting rumors, it is possi
ble we may displace some circumstance,
or mistake some faet. The essential
points, however, are about sb we give
them. Some years ago the Legislature
passed an act granting the Stato’s in-
doraementto the bonds of the|Northeast-
ern Bali road Company. The man
agers of the road went fo work
and graded about forty miles of the track,
being moved to this progress by the
promise of the State. Shortly after
wards, an act waB passed repealing the
acts granting State aid. At the request
of the friends of the Northeastern road,
clause was put in this act, excepting all
roads that had any “vested right?.'’ It
was claimed that this exception covered
the Northeastern road.
Tho friends of the road, to test their
rights, went into the courts, and after a
tedious and hotly-contested legislation,
the case went to the Supreme Court.
This court decided that it had no jnris-
lioticn in ihe matter, and referred the
hole thing back to the Governor. Gov-
■>r Colquitt waa then in office, and the
oame before him. He approached
'Stion with great deliboiation, and
it thoroughly. Pending hia de

was astonished at his statement and said
tb,t he had no knowledge of the matter
stall. Mr. Hill insisted that be should
look into the matter and ‘‘discharge Mr.
Mnrphy.” Governor Colqnitt oonld not do
this, as be had no power to discharge Mr.
Murphy, ss he held no position under him
and was not under Mb control, and be
sides he had no endenoe at all that h“
had done anything that deserved an in-
vestigatirn. Mr. Hill then went into
the courts for his money. He entered
snit against tbe Tolling mill and gar
nisheed Mr. Mnrphy and the Citizens
bank. Mr. Murphy replied through his
lawyers, Hopkins & Glenn, that he did
not owe the rolling mill anything. Mr.
Hill traversed this answer. On Thurs
day Mr Hill was jnst getting on tbe
street car when Mr. Mnrphy called him
He went across to Maddox & Backer’s
store, where Mr. Mnrphy was standing.
Here the accounts differ. Mr. Morphy’s
friends say that he denounced Mr. Hill
in the most unmeasured terms; that Mr.
Hill drew back twice to strike him, and
that Mr. Murphy said: “Just come
ahead 1” and rppeated his denunciation.
Whereupon Mr. Hill withdrew. Mr.
Murphy’s friends say they were wit
nesses to this. Mr. Hill’s friends say
that Mr. Murphy, after asking Mr. Hill
if he bad made these charges and had
told Mr. Glenn that he should be turned
ont of office, Mr. Hill said ,% yeB.” Mr.
Mnrphy then said, “yon are a d—d scoun
drel!” Mr. Hill thereupon went to
strike him, when Mr. Murphy drew back
hastily, and put his hand behind him,
Mr. Hill then said, “I see that you are
armed, and I do not propose to allo w you
to assassinate me—I publicly denounce
you. sir, as a coward and a ruffian.” They
say that he then stopped a gentleman
who was passing (we believe Mr. Joe
Simms, of Covington,) and asked him
to hear what he had to say to Mr. Mor
phy, and that he then repeated what he
had said. These, we believe, are the ac
counts, given by the friends of tbe two
parties as to the altercation. Nothing
has come of the matter, and we suppose
that as the trouble has been relegated to
the courts, it will be settled there. We
sincerely hope so. Mr. Murphy says ho
docs not see tbe necessity of making any
statement. Since, however, his action
in the matter has been misrepresented,
he proposes to have it investigated. He
says that he made a contract to perform
certain services for the Citizens’ bank,
(Mr. W. C. Morrill being the contract
ing party,) for a certain sum of money.
He performed these services to the satis
faction of tho parties contracting with
him and received the pay there
fore in accordance with the
terms of tbe contract. It is hardly nec
essary to eay that Mr. Murphy declares
in the most solemn manner that the Gov
ernor did not know any thing of this con
tract, had nothing whatever to do with its
and that his name was. not mentioned di-
reotly in any way, and that he was not ap>
proached in any way, directly or indirect
ly on the Bnbjeot. While we are not an-
thorized to give tho details of the servioe
that Mr. Mnrphy rendered, it may be
proper to say that ho is the gentleman
who colleoted all tbe opinions upon the
subjeotin favor of the indorsement. He
went over the State gathering the views
of leading lawyers, members of the leg-
isla tore and parties who were conversant
with the faots. He spent time and money
in this pursuit, and olsims that be justly
earned bis fee. We believe that the
above is a true version of the whole mat
ter. As the oase will oomo np for inves
tigacion in the oonrts, the public will
then get tbe full details of the whole oc
currence. Since the above has been writ
ten we have been handed the.following
card from Captain Mnrphy, whioh we
publish with pleasure:
Special to the Evening News.l
“Atlanta, October 26.—la n few day
the publio will probably beoome acquain
ted with tbe facts in relation to the sign
ing of the Northeastern railroad bonds by

on tbe street in whtoh the Governor and
Mnrphy appeas to disadvantage in oon
neotion with the signatures ot the bonds. 1
The matters to whioh the above rumors
refer are involved in litigation between
Hon. B. H. Hill and myself in Fulton

ougb judicial investigation. Ia that in

result. It is not proper to state my oase
in the publio prints before a trial. I am
not the Governor’s Secretary. I do not
hold my position under him now, and
never have. The business transaction
referred to was on my part a proper and

Wright that several hundred thousand
dollars of Savannah bonds are held in

A Fearful Prodigy Captured In
(be Wilda of Tennessee and
Bronghtje Louisville lor Exhi
bition—Hfli Body, Covered with
Fish-Scales,.
Courier Journal,1
The wild man brought to the city ye:
terday by Dr. O. G. Brevier, of Sparta,
Tennessee, is truly a mysterious and won
derful creature. He will be exhibited
throughout the country by Manager
Whallen, of the Metropolitan, who is a
third owner m this remarkable being
who promises to successfully baffle all
scientists who desire to give a satisfac
tory explanation of his unnatural ap
pearance. Beforo entering upon the de
tails of his capture, which form quite a
thrilling and iuteres’ing episode, a de
scription of the cariosity, which promises
to excite more attention than Bar
naul's “What is it?” will be given.
At a distance the general outline of
his figure would indicate that he
is only an ordinary man. Close inspec
tion shows that his whole body is covered
with a layer of scales, which drop off at
regular periods m ’the spring and fall,
like the skin of a’rattlesnake. He has a
heavy growth of hair on his head, and a
dark, reddish bsarddbput six inches long.
His eyes present a frightful appearajace,
being at least twice the size of the aver
age sized , eye. Some of bis toes are
formed together, whioh give his feet a
strange appearance, and his height, when
standing perfectly erect, is about six feet
five inches. A nervous twitching of his
muscles shows a desire to esoape, and he
is constantly looking in tho direction of
the door through which he entered. His
entire body must be wet at intervals, and
sbonid this be neglected, be begins im
mediately to manifest great uneasiness,
his flesh becomes feverish, and bis suffer
ings cannot bo alleviated until the water
iB applied. At times he is dangerous, and
yesterday morning, when Mr. Whallen
attempted to place him in a wagon, in
which to bring him to the theatre, it
occupied a good doal of time. The strange
creature acted in a mysterious manner,
refusing obstinately for eome time to get
into the wagon. Ho has quite a sharp
appetite, having eaten a meal yesterday
morning that would have fully satisfied
at least four men. With the exception
of fish all his meals are prepared in the
ordinary way, but the fish is eaten entire
ly raw. Dr. Brojler says that when alone
he sometimes matters an unintelligible
jargsn, which it would be impossible for
anyone to understand, bnt that in the
presence of visitors he remains perfectly
silent. Yesterday afternoop from one to
fonr a private exhibition was given, and
a number of phsioians was present,among
them Drs.Brady and Cary Blackburn,who
said that he was a great onriOBity. Dr.
Blackburn eaid that his scaly conditio,
conid sot be attributed to any skin dis-
eaee, bnt be was undoubtedly bom in
that condition. He will be on exhibition
in one of tbe private rooms of tbe Metro
politan Theater this afternoon and to
morrow, between the hours of one and
fonr o’clock. Only physicians and those
specially invited will be allowed admis
sion. His exact age is not known, bat
for the last eighteen years he has been
running wild in tbe Cumberland Moun
tains in Tennessee, near the G&ney Fork
and Big Bone Creek. He has been tbe
constant terror of the commnnity, al
though he was never known to attack
any one nntil the day of his capture. Dr.
G. G. Broyler, of Sparta, Tenn., says
that since the surrender of the Confcd
erate army it has been his intention to
capture tbis creature and exhibit him
throughout the country. The doctor
says the parents of the wild man are re
spectable citizens of North Carolina
named Croelin. That their son is un
questionably a mysterious freak of nature
they do not deny, bat they conid not ac
count for his scaly skin. At the tender age
of fire yeare,having always been possessed
with a roving disposition, he left home
and plunged immediately into the moun
tainous region of Tennessee. Here he
lived as best he oonld, subsisting on the
products ot the country, such as roots and
herbs and small animals that he could
capture. When in the water he was In
his element. He wonld dive down into
the depth of the inland lakes, remaining

kept the wild man constantly in sight,

Tbe Speaker then read from a pastoral
letter of tbe Cdbollo Ohurob, from a lit
tle book by a Mf. Brook, to the effeot
that dancing was against holiness.
He farther read a newspaper in refer
ence to tbe Methodist ideas on the same
subject. And also an article from
newspaper from the pen of Bev. Dr.
Evans, of this oity, explaining in a parti
ban way the reason why the General Con
ferenoe, whioh met in Atlanta this year,
rejected the attempt made by Dr. Evans
and others to obtain a flat on the subject
of danoing.
’Dr.Leftwioh then read from Bishop
Hopkins and Bishop Mead, of-Virginia,
of the Episcopal Cbnrcb, in which they
personally were opposed to dancing. Dr.
Mcllrand, of Ohio, and Bishop Fallows,
of the Reformed Episcopal Church, were
also quoted.
The speaker * then claimed the testi
mony of these good men, which was per
sonal, as the consensus of the Protestant
Church on the subject of dancing. I
ask the gentlemen of the opposition to
explain bow this unity of opinion is false.
Is it to be supposed that the united
people of God arg opposing what God
approves. I claim that the presumption
is in enr favor—that danoing is forbidden
by the Word of God by implication.

A Greeabrelc Box in Indiana
Washington Star-1
Some queer things occur in the redemp
tion of mutilated enrrenoy. An Indiana
man had a five-doliar bank note chewed
up by his dog. He sent two fragments
of the note to the Treasurer and wanted a
good ons in return. Treasurer Gitfillan
refused to return a good note, there be»
ing nothing to show that other fragments
might cot be sent in for another new
bill. The Indiana man now sends tbe
two fragments back, again, pinned to an
affidavit be had made before a notary
public. The document which was reoeived
at the Treasury to-day reads as follows:
“Personally appeared before me this —
day , who by me duly sworn makes
oath that the remainder of tbe bank bill
hereunto attsobed was totally destroyed
by his dog; that he deteoted him in the
sot and re:coed these remnants, taking
them from tbe dog’s month, and that the
remainder of this bill wss chewed and
swallowed by the aforesaid dog, acd
thereby totally destroyed. Subscribed
and sworn to before me, etb.” This be
ing deemed sufficient evidence of tbe
dog’s voracity and the Indiana man’s ve
racity, the Treasurer sent cn a new cote.

The Gas Question.
New York Sun.1
But can the eleotrio light be distributed
through tbe Bhops and dwelling of a city
as gas is now distributed ? Can it be fur-
nisbed at a cheaper rate than gas, and its
intense glare be subdued and the light
made constant acd uniform—in f&ot, can
it substituted for gas light? To all these
questions Mr. Edison answers, Yes. “The
subdivision of the light,” he told tbe re
porter of The Sun last week, “Is all right.
The only thing to be accurately determin
ed is its eoonomy. I am already positive
it will be cheaper than gas, bnt have not
determined how mnoh cheaper.”
The articles of incorporation of The
Edison Eleotrio Light Company were filed
last week, and the Company propo es to
light the oity, public buildings and pri
vate residents with' elsotrio light. We
enulI, therefore, before long have an op
portunity to see for onrsel ves whether the
gas men are right or wrong abont the new
light; and they., will be wise to forego

been tried. •> -.

A Persistent Delusion.- *
A Tennessee telegram eayi the illicit
distillers there are horior-struck with
thp severity o! the penalty for violating
tbe internal revenue laws. They have
been under the impression that it was a
very light matter, but when they saw
fines of a thousand dollars scored against
them; and a year’s solitary imprisonment
on the back of it, their hearts died with-'
ia them. They realized for the first
tima that it is a very serious * business to
breahrthe United States revenue laws,
andamcsl forlorn oocoeption that of
making money by illicit distillation. The
day for that has pAssal. Let the people
lay .it to heart. We know it is hard that
a man cannot make a little toddy out of
his surplus corn, and the apples and
peaches rotting under hia trees; bat '
that is the law, and it ia tima for every
man to see the folly and stupidity ot at
tempting to violate it. We trust every
man in the Southern oouatry will aban
don the business.
