tori of tbeso transactions may appear, but
♦h2 at Sesame time a simple not of
ta.tice may be done thereby to the com-
3 I havo the honor to repre-
££/ in tbo resulting vindication of its
fate and present administration from any
charge of political bias in the conduct of
‘‘The*pT.‘£ truth is that the company,
realizing a great moral obligation to pro-:
Eerve sacred from a threatened exposure
nil telegrams committed to »te confidence
id ling, both before and after the
service of the subpoenas, resorted to by
every bgitmate and proper device con
sent with a due respect for the author-
itTof Congress, to prevent such exposure
b* a timely transfer of the messages
from tho custody of the messengers and
effirore likely to be called upon to pro-
dnea ibern to the Executive officers in
New York, and thence by a resolution of
the Executive Committee of the Board
of Director* from the custody of the
Executive officers to that of tho Execu
tive Committee itself.
When, therefore, Manager Barnes, of
the Sew Orleans office, was snbpcesal
by tbo Morrison Committee, almost all of
the telegrams he was called upon to pro
dace h3d been taken from his custody,
sed ho had uo power to produce them.
So also when the president was brought
to tha bar of the House for contempt, he
was enabled to plead that he had not the
custody of toe messages called for in hrn
subL« as. Tho proceedings of the House
of Representatives, as published in the
Congressional Record, ebowthat Mr. Or
ton himself, on thiB occasion, taroogh
tho statements of his answer as to the at
titude taken by the Executive Committee,
disclosed to the House fall information
as to where the messages con’d ba
I0 Bat, notwithstanding thia fact, no
member of the House or its oommitteea
caw fit, at the time, to act upon the in
formation tho* given. The Senate Com
mittee, however, took the initiative, and,
sanding immediately to New York the
next day, served every member of the
Company’s Executive Committtee with a
sweeping enbj.ee sa, which demanded the
production of all messoges to or from the
principal offices of the Company, where
any important political telegrams were
supposen to have been sent or received
undtr this snbpocus. The Executive
Committee, composed equally of mem
bers of the two political parties, proceed--
cd with tho messages to Washington
where, soon alter arrival there, they were
served with a like sweeping snbjcesa
from the House Committee.
A meeting of the Executive Committee
was then held, and by resolutions then
passed it was decided to respect the ser
vice on the company’s president and com
mittee alike and to surrender to the
House Committee all the messages cov
ered by its subpoena to Presiden t Orton—
this being prior in time of service to the
subrooaa from the committee of tho Sen
ate, and to surrender to the Senate Com
mittee all the messages covered by it*
subpeesa—this list being prior in time of
service to the like subpoena from the
Committee of the House.
It waa farther resolved, in order to
comply as far ib possible with the con
flicting subpoenas, that whichever com.
mittee tailed to receive the original mes
cages should have copies of all each
original* a* were delivered to the' other
committee; or if it should be concluded
that the immense labor of copying might
b* saved, then that the committee of
either Qonoe receiving the original mes
sages should agree that the member* of
the committee of the other House which
hud called for them ahonld have free
access to excisin' such originals to make
copies therefrom if desired. **
A copy of these resolutions, of which
the foregoing is the substance, was served
upon each committee on January 19-b,
and on the 24th of January Senator Sar
gent wrote to the company stating that
the com mittee of the Senatehai conferred
with the committee of the House, and the
alternative or latter feature of the above-
mentioned arrangement was accepted as
entirely satisfactory to both committees.
The surrender of the messages - was
then made, but not until the company
bad urgen'ly endeavored to impress upon
the respective oommitties the necessity
of guarding the telegrams from theft
and from disclosures to others than those
who, from their position on the commit
tee, were entitled to their inspection.
It
will be teen that oar course in these mat
ter* was strictly fair and impartial. We
were powerless to lake further precau
tions in the premises and we are in no
maunor responsible for the subsequent
loss of the telegrams entrusted to the
Senate committee. I have the honor to
remair, Very respectfully years, -
Nobvin Queen. President.

Christianize the Poor Indian.—We
learn from the Tbomosville Times that
Bishop Whipple, who has labored nine*

sented to deliver an address to-night in
that city, on the interesting theme of
what can be done to christianize the poor
nnfortnnate aborigines who havo met
with such hard treatment at the hands of
oar government and people. We should
be glad to have the Bishop repeat hia
lecture tn Macon. The tame paper re
marks that a deeply interesting aeries of
meetings have been in progress at both
tlie Methodist and Baptist Churches for
the post two weeks. The pastors of tbe
various churches here are earnest work
ers.
Young Fsmale College.—The same
paper describing the late public exami
nations in this institution says: It Is
exceptionally welt managed and presents
many strong claims for a liberal support
from the people of South Georgia and
Florida. Society in Thomasville is ex
cellent; the health of the place unsur
passed ; the general tone of the people
moral and ohuroh privilege* and facili
ties good. Among the female colleges in
Georgia, we know of none which has su
perior claims to Young Female College.

A PERILOUS BUSINESS.
How tbe Operation ot Torpe
doing Oil Wells is Conduc
ted.
Pittsburg Leader.l
Torpedoing oil wells has grown within
the past ten years to be a bnaintss of
considerable magnitude. Therb is cot a
well now operated in the oil country bat
what is more or less torpedoed. Those
who have never seen an oil well, and are
unacquainted with the business, will no
doubt wonder why thia ia the oaae. For
their information it might be well to elate
the reasons: The first is for the purpose
of blasting the oil rook, thereby creatiog
crevices through whioh the flaid finds
its way into the wel 1 . As an illustration,
many wells are pat down into
the proper depth withoat producing one
gallon of oil nntil torpedoed, and then
they wonld flow. Before torpedoing oame
into vogne, hundreds of expensive holes
were put down and abandoned which np
doabt wonld have proven * ( *poutert>”had
they been properly “shot.” All wells are
now torpedoed immediately afeer they are
down, whether they are good ones or dry
holes. Tho eecond reason is, after wells
are opened a while the oil rand becomes
clogged up with paraffine. It is then ne
cessary to clean them out, and nitro-gly-
cerine has been found to be the most ef
fectual. Torpedoing is rather expensive,
but it of cnane pays, or the producer
would not pay the steep prices asked by
those who follow the business. The
price charged for a torpedo ia‘regu
lated by the quantity of explosive
material which it contains. For
instance, a shell containing a quart of ni-
tro-glyoerine oosta $40. and $20 is charged
for eaoh additional quart. Four quarts
is the average amount used for a single
shot; sometimes, however, as high aa six
teen quarts axe nsed.
The Roberta Torpedo Company for a
long time monopolized tha business, and
operator* were oompelled to pay tbe enor
mous prioes asked by Roberts, who claims
to be tbe inventor of the prooear, and
had it patented. The immense profit* ot
tb* tradai soon had the effect of inducing
many other* to .go into tbe dangerous
traffio. Other torpedoes were patented*
bat E. A. Ia Robeits claimed that they
were ell infringements on his patent,
and prosecuted them to the bitter
end. The large capital whioh Its had
accumulated out of the business enabled
him to do this, and in every instance be
was ancoessfnl in gaining tbe suits. Fi
nally, however a class of men went tnto
the trade who defied the great monopo
list and the law. These men are now
known througout Qildom B3 “Moonlight
ers,” and in fact they have tho sympathy
of the producers, end their patronage,
too, to a great extent. The moonlighter
does the work for about one-halt the
price charged by agents of Roberta’ Tor
pedo company, and then he makes a big *fli of a
thing out of it The mcenlighter ir wife’s sister’s aon. Altogether the
indebted to the appellation to tb» fehikiiion which Mr. Conkling made of
fact of hia beiag compelled to tfce practice of the administration ot civil
' - ’ * —*— 14 service rcfprm was a very humiliating
one, and it showed that, while tho Fresi-
do hi3 work after night, for if de.
tected in the act of “shooting a hole’’ by
ono of Roberta’ detectives he ia served
with an injunction. If he is found to re
peat tho offense he 13 then arrested for
contempt of court and jailed or put under
bail. The Colonel pays very liberally
for information in respect to these free
booters, and this has beeen the means of
makipg a number of informers, who are
continually watching the actions and fol
lowing np the' trail of the poor “moon
lighter.”
The danger attending the life of a tor
pedo agent, and particularly the midnight
manipulator of nitro-glyoerine, is so gieat
that it requires an immense amount of
nerve. Tho latter ib dogged at night
and watched by day, and he knows not at
what minute an officer will pounce npon
him and pnt him behind tho bars. Again,
as said before, he is comoelled to do the
work at night, which enhances tho dan
ger of handling the compound a
hundred-fold. Tho slightest mistake,
a. single misstep, tho striking of his
c-tn against anything, or the spilling
of a drop of the explosive fluid, would,
ten to one, send him into eternity so bad
ly minoed that Peter would not recognize
him. The coroner’s jury investigations
in the large number of sudden deaths
whioh have oocnrred in cases of thiB kind,
and are occurring throughout the oil re
gion every day, means only a_ ceremony
over the spot where the aocident took
place, and not over the remains of any
body. They don’t expeot to find even
enough of the bedy to be seen throngb
a microsoope, and, wbat 5b more, never
take tbe tronble to look. Tho moon
lighter secretes bis stock in trade m every
conoeivable plaoe. Hollow trees, brash
piles, old logs, under rooks, and, in fact,
any placo where it wonld. be less likely
to be found. The writer remembers
rather an amusing incident which occur
red some time since near Triangle, in
consequence of this indiscriminate nse of
bmsh piles for magazine purposes. _ A
gentleman of that place was out gunning
ono day, and fired a load of shot at a rab
bit just as it was entering a bmsh pile.
Th9 shot took effect in a can of nitro
glycerine. The gentleman Eaid his . sur
prise was so great that he immediately
eat down. No doubt he did, for the con-.
cus3ion broke glass in Triangle, a mile

How the Senator* Hade Merry at
the Expense of Mr. Hayes.
Washington Special to New York Tribune,
Tn the midst of hi* ap**oh the Senator
from New York took from his pocket a
large handle of letters, addressed to
General Artbnr, while he was collector,
by different persons, whose relations to
the Administration are, or were, more or
less intimate, asking for the appoint
ment of persons in the New York Cus
tom House for various reasons given.
Among the writers of these letters were
Secretary MoCrary, Governor McCormiok,
when he was Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr. Roger*; the President’s
Private Secretary, and others.
The scene in the Senate daring the
reading of these letters was a moat re
markable one. None each has been wit
nessed there for years. Mr. Conkling
read one letter asking that a Mr. Bradley
be provided for in the New York custom
house, because he wa* a son of Mr. Justice
Bradley, of the Sopreme Court.
“Son of whom f” shouted some Sena
tor.
'■Son of Justice Bradley,” replied Mr.
Conkling in a very loud voioe.
“What Justice Bradley ia that?” asked
another Senator.
“Why Justice Bradley, of the Electoral
Commission,” said Mr. Conkling, “and
ot the Supreme Conrt of the United
States.
“Ob, he!” shouted a third Senator,
“then they wanted to* provide for him,
didihej?” ' J • m
A similar scene occurred when eaother
letter waa read asking for the ■^point-
meat of John O. Howard, ot Ohio, “who
had written a life of President Hayes.”
“Whcsj life is that which he wroteF’
shouted a Senator whose hand was et
hia ear.
“Life of ths President, President,
Hayes.” responded Mr. Conkling, with
bo me other remarks .which were not com-
ptimeutary to tbe head of the Adminis
tration.
And then there wero exclamations ot
mook surprise and land laughter in the
Senate. One letter asked for the.appoint-
man because ho was the wn-
dent may have been trying to reform the
civil service, he has had man around him
who, to say the least, have had the weak
nesses of ordinary politicians.
JKoy. C. B. Vaughn, 0. 0.
Wo arq quite sure that tbe friends of
thia noble Christian gentleman, who are
reckoned by hundreds in Macon, will re
joice to learn that he has accepted a oall
S3 stated supply for the vaoant pnlpit of
Dr. Leftwiob, late of the Central Presby
terian Chnrob, Atlanta, and baa arrived
upon the soeue of hia future labors. The
Constitution prints tbe following:
Rev. C. B>. Yanghn, D D., who has aon-
sented to fill tbe pnlpit of the Central Pies,
byterian Church for the next bix months,
arrived yesterday and will preaoh next
Sunday at the nansl hour*. Ha. was
gladly met at the depot by a number of
the officers and members of tbe Chnrch
and oordially welcomed io his new fiald of
libor. He ib stopping at present at the
Markham Hoase.
Wo congratulate our Atlanta friends
upon this valnablo accession to the pnl
pit and society of their city. Dr. Yanghn
s no common man. As a writer, whether
of sermons or for the press, he has few
superiors, and this has long been an ad
mitted fact in Virginia. Very seldom
have wo seen any one who possessed to
snch an extent the peculiar gift of com
pressing multum inparvo, and his prayer-
meeting exhortations, when supplying
the Macon Presbyterian Church, were
models of instruction and fervent piety,
each one, indeed, forming a perfect ser
mon of itself. In the pnlpit he is at once
profound and entertaining, some of his
discourses ranking with the beat wo ever
heard. Bnt superior aa was his gifts, it
was in the role of pastor that ho shone
most conspicuously. By nature, genial,
confiding and affectionate, he won the
respect and warmest affection of the
yonng men of our city of all denomina.
tion?, over whom his influence was un
bounded. In the family circle, too, he
was a delightful visitor and the universal
favorite of the children. This Godly
man comes to Atlanta fresh from the
scene of some of the most gracions revi
vals that ever stirred to their
lowest depths the hearts of the children
of God, and oansed sinners to repent
and seek the way of salvation. Under
his ministrations the chnrch at Rileigh
has doubled in nnmber. Tho gentle
humility of tho man and a distrust of his
physical strength alone have prevented
him from occupying the most prominent
positions <n the gift of tbe Presbyterian
Church. We know cf no one belter fitted
to pour oil on the recently troubled waters
of tbe Central Church, and we trust the
Great Jehovah has sent him thither as a
messenger of love and peace to the divided
brethren of one of the most important
religions organizations in the State.
SaUliatU Exercises.
It was tho privilege of the writer on
Sunday morning to be present at the ser
vices of Christ Church, of whiob Rev.
Otis A. Ghzebrook is the mnch ioved and
devoted pastor.
The walls of the sacred edifice still re
tain the decorations placed there to cele
brate tbe natal day of the Saviour of man
kind, and, we mast say, never before
have wo seen anything more tastily
arranged and beaatifal. Festoons of
evergreens fashioned in graceful de
vices, stretched across the entire length of
the building on either side, and above the
altar tho woven leaves assumed a variety
of shapes, nniqna and piotnrerqne in
the extreme. Still, there was har
mony and beauty throughout, and it
ta a pity that these frail gatherings from
the forest should ever wither. There is
something exceedingly pleasing and ap
propriate in the decoiation of God’s holy
temple on special occasions with nature’-
beautiful creations, which are all His
handiwork. If it is well and commenda
ble to glorify the great Architect of tbe
universe with magnificent and imposing
houses of worship, like Solomon’s temple
the work of mens’ hands, why not dec-
prate them with the real insignia of His
wisdom, power and goodness. Hence,
,we love to look upon sweet flowers and
living specimens from nature’s arcana to
the tHbornaclea of the Moat High God.
The choir in Christ Church would do
, honor to any metropolitan sanctuary.
; Led by Mr*. Hopson, nee Conner, who
.peEBasees one- of the sweetest and most
flute-lika voicos wo ever heard, with Mr.
Williams for a tenor, Mr. Julian Price
bass, and Miss Georgia Conner alto,
the music was sweet and soul-in
spiring. How much does this put of
the service add to the attractions and
solemnities'xf the saored ordinances of
the Holy Sabbath.
The young rector read the inimitable
and beantifnl ritual of his church with
great diatinotneeB and miction, and
thongh the writer is no Episcopalian, yet
he was forced to admire, and was deeply
stirred by the pious, tender utterances
and exceeding fervor of the formulated
service. Indeed, so perfect is its concep
tion and wonderfully adapted to the
operations of the human heart, that when
properly rendered it never seems to grow
old. ,
The text was drawn from 1st Cor, 3d
chapter and Xlth vetse: “For other foun
dation can no man lay than that which ia
laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
We took no notes, and, of course, will
not attempt to transenbs the excellent
disoonrse of Mr. Glazsbrook. Thongh
brief, It was oompact, well arranged,
finely delivered and replete with spiritual
fervor. Tbe whole burden of the good
man’* message was Jesus Christ—tbe
trus foundation, tbe broad foundation, the
only foundation of onr most holy faith.
There were some very fine passages and
nervous, original thoughts in tbe sermon
which we might reproduce from memory
did time and space permit. Christ
ebureh has jait completed » most ele
gant and tasty manse for its pastor, and
has also’sleoled a clerleal. assistant, Rev.
T. A. Griffith, who is reported to be a
very pious and earnest worker. It i*
pleasant, in these times of finanoial
gloom and spiritual declension, to ehron-
laln auoh evidence* of life and progress
as are evident in the operations of ths
congregation of Ohrtat fthnroh.
