MACON, a A., MARCH 18, 1879.
THE GEORGIA PMESA
We find bat one sentiment to far in
scanning our State exchanges in reference
to Grneral Gordon's letter in reply not to
Mrs. Felton, bnt her husband, who is the
only responsible party in the premiers.
The Savannah Ninos thus speaks of it:
On onr first page we print the reply of
Senator GorrJcn to the charges against
him oontaimd in a letter over the signs,
tore of Mrs. W. H. Felton, to which let
ter allusion bos previously been made in
these columns. The currency which, un
happily for its reputed arithor, this extra
ordinary letter has obtained, especially
through the columns of tho Independent
press of the State, and the partisan uses
whica are being eagerly made of it by
the Eidisal organs of the North, have
psrbaps rendered a reply from Senator
Gordon proper, though for his vindication
from the Tile slanders of which it is tho
medinm, here in Georgia, where be is so
well known, so loved and honored for his
tried patriotism, nnimpeachable integrity
and exalted personal worth, no reply
from him in refutation of such calumnies
was needed.
Catarrh.—This malady seams to. have
afiltoted the entire State. The Lumpkin
Independent says:
The number ofaevere oolds and coughs
in this vioinity is unususl. In every fam
ily some member is suffering with the
prevailing epidemio and in some instan
ces neatly the entire household are ou the
si ok list.
Blocker.—That much advertised and
shall we say it, wrongfally U3ed person
age, Blocker of tho Early County Netw.his
some how or other been duplicated, and
now we have two of them,- both sons of
Artak. Wall, wa are prepared to extend
he right hand of fellowship to a hundred
of tho breed at the Press Convention, if
they all write and travel as ranch &3 their
origin >1 and prototype.
Thebe is an old lady in lower Elbert,
says the Elberton Gazelle, who says sne
made a pair of stockings liut fifteen years
by merely knitting feet to them every
winter nnd legs every other winter.
Personal.—The Athena Chronicle says
the family of Prof. Woodfin has arrived in
cur city.
A Colored Effort.—Athens Chronicle:
Mr. W. A. Pledger, colored, ia contem
plating starting a literary paper.
Compliment.—Madisonian: One of the
literary eocietie3 of the Baptist Female
College at Gainesvillo has adopted as its
name "Butler Society,” in honor of Hon.
D. E. Butler, of this city. We congratu
late the young ladies, as well as onr
townsman, and for the distinction, if they
will give U3 tho proper address, wa will
send them one copy of tho lladisonian
free for ono year.
Advice Gratis.—A correspondent of
the Henry County Weekly holds forth
thus:
Talk about farmers co-operating to re
aist commercial rings and cliques! Why,
it’s the sheerest nonsense. Tnis district
once had a lodge of true, gennino, living
Grangers. But, alas! the poor little
thing didn’t live long enough to know its
parentage 1
What-do you say to it, brother farm
ors? "Say to what?” Why, to planting
enough corn this year to mako enough of
that important, indispensable article to
last ns the whole yoar.round; build good
fences; raise our own meat, wheat, and
everything else necessary to strengthen
the inner man, and thus grow happy,
prosperous and independent. Ah! how
sweetly the latter words sound. The old
song that J'cotton is king’ has proven
truo in a "way we didn’t expect it. If
king means a tyrant, I’m certain cotton
is king; for neTer wis there a tyrant, or
such tyranny, as there is in this connlry
where all is cotton and no corn.
The Weekly says: Some idea of the ex
tent of Hampton's trade may be gather
ed from the fact that over one hundred
wagons were in town last Saturday. Onr
xnerobants haven't had such a rash of
business sines last falL
G air pin Sun: It is time to gnit shoot
ing or trappping birds now. Go a fish
ing instead or the law might catch hold
of you alter the 15tn instant.
Adjudged a Lunatic.—Chronicle and
Constitutionalist: Mrs. Emma Aastell was
adjudged to be insane by Judge W. R
Eva, of the County Conrt yesterday, and
ordered aent to the Lunatio Asj lam at
Mtlledgeville. She has a child about
eighteen months old, which has been ta
ken In charge by responsible parties. She
fought desperately and screamed at the
top of her voice when the infant was ta
ken away from her, but it was absolutely
necessary for the little oreature’s safety
and cornier; that this should be done.
Giosoia R. E. Stock.—Augusta News:
Tho demand for Georgia Railroad stock
daring the week has been very stroog.
1'he itoek has advanced from seventy-
nine and ous-halt to eighty-three, the
market closing firm at eighly-two and a
half bid. A large amount of the stock
was sold dnrlog the week to investors,
and when the relative prico of other se
curities is considered, and it ia remem
bered that this is aimott an assured six
per cent stock free of all taxes, and there
is no reason why it should not sail read
ily at $85 per share. The great improve
ment under the present management at
least promises prosperity and a continued
advanoe in tho valno of tho stock and tho
seourittes of tho road.
T. M. O. A—The News says: The Y.
H. C. A. free reading room and hand-
somo parlor, with papers and music, is
attracting young men more and more.
The visitors’ register shows an increased
attendance of tho best young men of the
city, as well as visitors from all over the
United States.
Underpinning fob Hampton. —Au
gusta News: A splendid pair of rose
wood silver-mounted crutches have been
sent as a present to Senator Hampton by
a friend to New York. They have been
forwarded to Green Pond, after traveling
first to Aiken and then to Union.
The Wheat Prospect in North Geor
gia.—Lafayette Messenger: A good many
of tho. farmers report a pretty fair stand
cf wheat; but the old crop badly dam
aged.
A littb boy, the son of Mr. Warren
Shipp, who lives a few miles above town,
was thrown from a horse and killed on
list Satuiday, his foot getting caught in
the atirrnp was the can jo of the sad acci
dent.
A Southern Aucadia.—Mr. J. L.
Brown, one of the late New Jersey set
tlers at Wayeross, thus speaks of bis new
home in the ooinmes of tho South Geor
gian: * "
I would not go back to old J-fferson
county, New York, or the “Warren and
Bernard township farms,” if I could
have either aa a present, free and clear
from all mortgage, and be obliged to live
on them.
We can raise here good crops of every
thing that grows in Jersey and very
many things that do not grow there.
Here we have a profusion of beantifnl
flowers and trees of a tropical nature—
the magnolia, live oak, cape jessamine,
sweet, soar and bitter oranges, figs,
bananas, eta, are all perfectly at
home here. I find tbe currant
does finely—but I can not enumerate.
I must i<) emphatically that these thing-)
do not grow wild bare and withoat oare,
any more than at the North. Wsyoroas,
we lik ; it a central point, and tbe land
is dry, high, rolling and woll watered by
never-failing streams. It la 96 muee
from Bavannob, 1CI miles from Thoma -
villc and 60 miles from Btnnswtek. Its
bills are interspersed by Kettle creek,
(btmp branch, Mill ereok, and oa (he
north the Big SatUIa river winieite w*y
o&wtrd to the set, audjs oavigibla near
ly to Weyaros?, forming many bold
points on which to boild charming yillap.
Na ure has designed this place fora
city—its several cre.ks furnishing ample
facilities fir alirge number of delightful
b ating, bathing and fishing ponds of
clear, soft water. Thera is no purer,
belter, or healthier air or water than a-
Waycross, and hero we design to build
oar tropiosl city and make it so beautiful,
so profuse with magnolia, orange and
every other handsome tree, flower and
shrub that the travel-r can not but atop
and sojourn with n>.
Again tbe same writer says : I have
examined the oonntry oarefally from
Beard’s bloff to Waresboro, thence to
Somerville, Dupont, Magnolia, down to
wards Blunt’s ferry, along the western or
npper edge cf tbe Okefenokse swamp,
through the Morgan, Booth and Pitman
neighborhoods, on through six or eight
miles below Wayeross to Blaokshear,
seeking the best locality, all (hinge con
sidered, for a Northern settlement.
Everywhere wo wenttjte people were very
cordial, glad to see us, bid ub welcome
and giveabnndanoe of their boat, go with
us acd show us the road, help along and
give ns every information and advice,
all of which Iliad reliable; and what
is more, I find quite oontrary to
expectation, an equal cordiality from
their wires, daughters and sisters, the
ladies of the South. I eee none of that
reserve or haughtiness of which I had
heard, and do not believe it exists. I
have visited manv of the first families in
these sections. One sees family worship
kept up in these parts of Georgia-more
generally than at the North—pure, sim
ple religion, with homely churches and
school-houses, sufficiently near that none
need be deprived of either. There ia no
large wilderness in these pine lands. Alt
new settlers will find old resident neigh
bors from one-half to a mile or two, set
tle where they may.
This is very pleasant talk from a North
ern source.
The Gabbard Bonds.—These new is
sue*, tho Constitution remarks, aro now
actually cn sale: At last Mr. Renfroe, tho
Treasurer, informs us that he has orders
that will cover the whole Issuo of the
bonds. This ia certainly a triumph for
the State cf Georgia that cannot bo over
estimated. There aro three corporations
on tho continent of America that are
floating four per cent, bonds, and they
are the United States government, the
city of Boston and the State of Georgia.
It is gratifying to note, too, that the
bonds are being reosivetl universally, as
far as heard from, as currency.
This will tend to make money easier,
inasmnch as these bonds will doubtless
be used extensively in the payment of
transfers of property, etc., thus taking
the place of so many greenbacks.
Atlanta has a .sun-bonnet factory,
owned by Mr. Selig, who employs about
sixty white girls, paying them from three
to five dollars per week for their wages.
To Be Started.—Tho Constitution is
assured that Mr. H. I. Kimball will have
his big cotton factory in operation in (he
conrso of two or three months. All the
neoessary contracts have been made, tho
bonds of the oompany sncoessfally cego
listed and the msohlnery psid for. We
wish it sneoess.
Thanks.—The same paper says: In
tho name of the people of Georgia, we
thank Dr. Felton for giving U3 even
passing glimpse qf the trne inwardness
of indepeedeotism. The panorama,
though brief, was highly instructive.
Ordered to Leave.—All tho troops
stationed at Atlanta have reoeived march
ing orders for Yankton, Dakota Terri
tory. They will leave oa the 1st of
April.
Drowned in Attempting to Desert
Savannah Newt: The steamer Jttosa,
which left here on Taesday afternoon last
on her regular trip, carried a psrty of
sailors, trader charge of Samuel Reynolds,
shipping master, who had been artioled
for the ship Bsaconsfield at Darien, and
woro on their way to that pore. The
steamer stopped a short time at St.
Ostharine’s on Taesday night to land
some freight,- and just as she swung off
from tbe landing to continue her jour
ney, two of the sailors jumped overboard,
evidently intending to reaoh the shore.
Mr. Reynolds and the mate of the Rosa
made every fffort to secure the men, who
apparently were nnable to swim, and who
soon showed signs of distress. Despite
their effort*, however, one of tbe teamen
was drowned. Ths other was reseaed and
safely landed on the steamer.
Tbe men had rscoived their advanoe
money, and the presumption is they in
tended to desert—a trick that is not an
frequently attempted, and sometimes
suooessfully.
Something New in this State.—Sa
vannab News: At the Cathedral on Sun-
day Bishop Gross announced that Euler
Sunday would bo celebrated by a Grand
Military and Pontifical High Hass, and
appointed as a committee to arrange for
tbe military portion of the ceremonies
Captain John Fiannery, Major Ferrill
and Captain P. N. Riynal. Tho com
mittee will be pleased to have the names
of such of onr voluDtser soldiers who will
aesiet on the occasion.
Tho following final discharge in bank
ruptcy was filed in Savannah in the
Clerk's office of the United States District
Conrt for the Southern district of Geor
gia: Zacheus A. Rawls, Millray, Bulloch
county, Ga.; A. B Smith, solicitor.
A Case op sad Neglect.—Enquirer-Bun:
The following is sent na by a gentleman
of this city, who was on a vis t to a friend
in the neighborhood some days ago:
Died, in this county, in the neighbor
hood of Upatol,Mrs. Fannie Denning, on
Friday morning at 7 o’clock. It was a
sad affair, and she was deserted by rela
tives. Her husband having died two
years ago, left her with two small chil
dren.' Shs told the children Friday
morning.to go and play, that she wished
to deep. Too doctor came an boor after
and found her dead. She was closed up
in the house and allowed to remain until
Saturday morning, withont any prepara-
tions being made for the burial. Mr.
Parsons, a respected farmer, beard about
ft, went to the house with hi3 son Thomas,
took the measure, made the coffin and
bnriei the lady with the help of two
other gentlemen. It was 9 o’clock Sat
urday night when she was buried. The
children were taken by some negroos.
Lacteal Comvort fob fat People.—A
correepondent of the Inquirer-Sun gives
tbe following recipe for those who wish to
throw off their superfluous fieeh:
1st day—Three quarters of usual food
and about one quart of milk. 2nd day—
one half cf usual diet and two quirts of
milk. 3d day—one quarter nsual food
and three quarts of milk. Thereafter
four quarts of milk daily and nothing else.
Once in & while a little solid food to pre
vent disgust for milk. If diarrhea a su
pervene, suspend milk diet for a day or
two, and then resume. Of oourso, some
persons willnot consume that much milk,
and others mignt think that their
strength and ability to work would give
out on an exclusive milk diet, but it.is a
mistake. A full supply of good milk will
■upport and keep in working order any
one. The Arab* of tbe desert, who are
remarkable for their powers of endurance,
live for months at a time on milk, and
perhaps, at times, a few deter.
Ths Quitman Free Prtes says : "Mrs.
Felton had better let politics ” alone and
go to darning her husbicd’s socks. We’ll
bet they’ve got holes in 'em.”
A Cheerful Picture cf Old Mil.
lxdgbville on 8aturdat.—Union and
Seconder : Saturday was another beaut’-
fui day, the golden binding of tbe week,
so to speak. Indeed, the whole week
was a marvel of beanty for the season.
Tnie elreottstanoe was very aaueh In fa
vor of tbe contractor* on the new hotel.
It enabled them to push forward their
work to the firet floor, whtoh will be ready
in a few days for the next.
The stores were filled with people and
vehicles of every description, and tbe
bustoees portion of tbe oity presented a
lively appearance. The lidieB from tbe
oouotry were out in unusual numbers,
and added a lovely tinge to the rough and
rjggfd edge of basicesp. We met many
farmers and talked with them, and they
seemed to ns lo agree on one point, viz :
that a moderate rain would be most ac
ceptable. Corn plautlog has been tbe
main thing of tbe week. Miny of onr
farmers speak well of the small gram
crop. This we can say fiom onr stand
point : If (he farmers of Baldwin . era
show ramples equal to onr oity farms,
they are doing very well.
Not a Candidate for Governor —
Savannah News: It is Btated that B*v.
Mr. Felton will not ran for governor. Of
coarse not. The salary of an ffil. C. ia
$5000, and that of the governor only
$3,000. And Mr. Felton, though a
divine, atilt clings with tenacity to the
mammon of unrighteousoess.
Tho Milledgevilie Union and Recorder
says of Gen. Gordon’s letter:
Gen. John B. Gordon has written to the
Chronicle and Constitutionalist a manly let
ter in reply to the charges of Mrs. Dr. Fel
ton. It was not necessary on the part of the
Senator, as no honorable man believes
that Gen. Gordon would do a dishonora
ble act.
Tbaphng Beavers in Georgia.—'The
Lumpkin Independent says: A man fully
equipped with a large lot of traps passed
through town on Saturday en route to the
Hannahatchee, where he will endeavor to
catch some of the beavers that are prov
ing sc troublesome on tbe creek.
A Double Crop.—Talbotton Registerr
Mr. A. J. Ferryman, last ytar, manured
eight acres of new ground with cot'on
seed which he thought had been killed,
planted the land in corn, which came up
in dne time, and was also accompanied
by a mo-t unanimous stand of cotton.
As the soil was strong, Mr. Perryman
concluded to let both corn and cotton re
main, and accordingly put them in grow,
ing shape and awaited results. To his
surprise ho gathered in tbe fall off the
eight acres a good yield of corn and six
hundred pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. Pretty good for two crops at once.
Personal.—The same: Mrs. J. S. Mc
Dowell, who has been visiting friends m
Savannah, passed through Taibotton, on
Saturday last, en route to her now borne
in Talbot Valley. Talbot connty extends
a hand of welcome to such accessions to
her ranks as Prof. J. S. McDowell and
family.
Fall or Guano.—Sandersville Herald:
Tbe warehouse or Major W. M. Moses
at Tennille, egsnt for Bussell Coe’a
guano, fell on Taesday, making a total
wreck. Tho fiouse was now, 24 x 40 feet
and oontained abont SO tons of gnano,
The fall was from tbe giving way of tbe
timbers from the weight of tbe guano.
A 8end off to Athiks.—A corres
pondent of the Atlanta Gcuette, writing
from Athens, says that it is one of the
boasts cf that flourishing town that she
has more rich men and more capital than
ary city of similar alzo in the South. He
also makes the following predictions re
garding Athens: “I prediot that next
year she will get 50,000 bales of cotton.
I predict that she will bavs 10,000 papa
Iation inside of two years. I prediot that
the Northeastern Railroad will pay tbe in-
terest on its bonds, sustain Its mad, and
make a surplus every year, inolndiog this
one. I prediot that tbs University will
hare 200 names on its catalogue next
year. Tnero aro elements of fact on
which to base every one of these predic
tions. A brighter, busier, batter con
tented little oity than Athens oannot be
foned in seven States.”
Tbs Cclumbus Confederate Monu
ment.—Enquirer-Sun: Letters have been
received from Messrs. Mnldoon & Karins,
the contractors, stating that they will be
ready in good time to fhave the founda
tion built, and that the monument will be
completed and ready to tarn ovsr to the
association J>y the 26sh of April in com
pliance with the contract. If the ladies
can prevail on General Toombs to deliver
the address on memorial day, it will be
very gratifying to bis many friends and
admirers in this section. It is very fit
ting that he should be the orator, because
many of the soldiers who went from this
place were in his brigade. -We have no
doubt he would consent to be present at
the unveiling of the monnment and de
liver the oration.
The Association will meet on Thursday
to select an orator for that occasion, and
it is suggested that they provide also for
haviug a programme arranged for the
laying of the oorner stone.
Religious Services.—An interesting
revival is in progress at Griffin in the
Methodist churob. The News repot ts
nine or ten accessions.
A Pleasant word for the University of
Georgia from Chancellor Mell.* Dr. Mell
haa bad a lengthy conversation with a
Chronicle and Sentinel reporter. We ex
tract as follows:
We found this courteous gentleman, as
in days of yore, glad to moot ns and talk
upon a subject in which we were both
deeply concerned. We said to him,
"Doctor, how are yougettingoa with the
boya?” “Ob,”8aidhe, “I have no trouble
with the students, I did not anticipate
any; the young men are remarkably
prompt in the disobarge of their duties,
manly in their bearing land very courteous
tome. They are noble fellows, and you
will hear from them after a while, in tbe
important places of trust in this country.’
We said to tbe Dootor we are pleased to
hear that you have secured the Iooal in
fluences of Athens to the support of tbe
college. To which he replied, “Athene
haa always done what she could in eleva
ting the social and moral qualities of the
students.- I am grateful to the people
of Athens for many favors and were I not,
I could not afford as an edneator to disre
gard these Iooal influences, whioh are
foroes daily going with the student’s let
ters to the student’s homes all over the
State doing muoh in miking friends ox en
emies (or tbe oollege. The people are
doing everything wltbin their power to
provide oomfortable homes and home re*
suraints for tbe yonng men, and, I be
lieve, they snoeesd. Yon know wc have
nosnmptnary laws In force' at present.
We have one hundred and thirty-one stu
dents now cn the gronnds, and from the
numerous inquiries and letters from
yonng men In different Stats*, whlob I
have lately reoeived, I think that onr cat.
alogne will show one hundred and fifty
by next Commencement, and if the popu
lar pulse la to be regarded and the revi
val of interest so manifested, be any in
dex to solving the problem, I think I can
say that the ebb-tide ia checked and the
wastiog waters are standing still. Yes,
sir, I have great hopes for the University,
for she promises at no distint day in lit
erary, scientific and practical education to
take the stand she has done among the
institutions of learning uf onr oonntry as
the peer of the proudest.”
‘And let me just here ray,” remarked
the Chancellor, "that the hoys who took
my hand last commencement and mado
voluntary promises are bravely verifying
their words and redeeming their pledger;
they are trae to the memories of the past
and the hopes of tbe future.” In reply
to a question about the improvement of
the campus, the Chancellor said : "I had
the pleasure of meeting Mr. Berckmans,
of the Fruitlaod Nursery, yesterday, who
generously offered to‘donate certain trees
and personally asssit in remodeling the
jollege grounds. I hare long thought
improvement here was needed, and the
work must be done, for I shall not be
satisfied until the campus is made a gem
of beauty worthy to weloome the return
at commencement of oar illustrious sons,
acd arouse tbe seithetioal nature of our
students as constantly as their eyes fall
upon it.”
MOW
TO ROB A STAGE.
COACH.
A lilUle Story of Modern Brig
andage In Hexleo which Dis
sipates a Fopaiar Idea.
William Drysdale in New Tork Times.!
The ptooess of robbing a stage-ooaoh la
very simple. It is tbe Ameiioan idea
that a really brave traveler will bavo one
or two revolvers in his boots and a knife
down his bsok, and. that when the brig
ands appear he should spring out at them
bringing one or two of them down before
he touohesthe ground, and shouting,
“Aha, base robber, begone!” I have
known Amerioans who started out for a
stage j inrney with this ides. But the
base robber will not begone. What the
American or any other traveller really
does do ie to hand over hie revolvers acd
knives, then swear by everything that’s
holy and good that he hasn’t anything
about him of any value,and then go down
into his pockets and bring out purses and
watches and other little weaknesses, and
hand them over too. When thirty or for*
ty mounted men suddenly appear along-
aide a stage-coach, each man with a load
ed rifle pointed at the passengers, a
traveller is very likely to forget which
pooket he haa his revolvers in. The
searching process is done with great skill.
I cannot tell it better than in tho words
of a man who had the experience.
“The first think wo knew," said he,
"there were forty or fifty brigands around
the diligenoe, and the horseB were stopped.
Before I had time to tarn aronnd I had a
revolver pointed at eaoh side of my head,
and wsa told to hind over my money. I
bad $300 in cotea along, bm bad bidden
that In one of tbe oosbionB, and had only
two or three dollars m silver in my pock
ets. They helped themselves to my watoh
and everything else in my pooksta that I
oared anything for; bnt my having ao lit*
tie money seemed to exolte their suspi
cions, and one of them took me to one
side of the road, away from tbe ooacb,
nuking me bring along a small tush-
el whioh I was oarrying with me. He
told me to take off my clothe?, and I did.
The satchel contained an old suit of light
clothes belonging to a friend of mine,
muoh tco small for me; but he said he
thought my clothes would about fit him,
and he made me put on tho old ones. He
did cot take time to search the pookets,
as ho was taking clothes and all; but
when I told him that I should need two
or three more meals acd a lodging before
I got to the end of my journey, he gave
me back tbe $2 or $3 in silver. Bat he
left me a bad looking specimen, in the
little old suit of clothes, though I was
better off tban-mo3tot the other passen
gers, for they woro sitting aronnd in
their underclothes, and one woman, whose
clothes had been stolen, was wrapped np
in a horse blanket. Then we went on.”

State Snnday school .assoda
tton— t'fie coining Meeting m
Macon.
Atlanta, Ga., March 10, 1879.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The
Exeontiva Commute of tbe Georgia State
Sunday cchool Association, at its meeting
a few days ago,selected your good oity sb
the plsce,and May 30th, 31st and Jnne 1st
as the time for holding the next annual
session. Sinoe the meeting of the mem
orable “International Convention” in
this city, there has been extraordinary
enthusiasm in the Sunday sohool work
in Georgia. Nearly every live Sunday
sohool worker m the State is anxions to
be present at suoh meetings—it iB but
natural that they should be, for there is
muoh important knowledge to be obtain,
ed there. But if all should go who
wish to go, thero would not be a city in
Georgia that could hold them. It would
be to repeat the tragedy cf the Illinois
town that wo3 eaten out by a Sunday
School convention of the mass variety,
so it is necessary to have a statute of
limitation defining the composition of
the body. Tbe Association in this State
has each a statute. It is probable that
a great many are not acquainted with its
provisions. So I give a copy of that
section aa fcllowe: "The association
shall be composed of one delegate for
every 300 (or fraction thereof) members
of the Snnday-sohoolB composing eooaty
associations, and in counties where no
organization exists two delegates for
every representative to which tbe connty
is entitle 1 in the General Assembly of tbe
State.” The Yice-Fresidents in the sev
eial Congressional districts are the officers
authorized to make the appointments of
delegates from counties in which there
are no associations. The following are
the Vice-Presidents at this time:
First district—George P. Harrison, S*
vanrah.
Second district—W. D. Hitohell,
Thomasville.
Third district—W. S. Wallaos, Batter,
Fourth distriol—J. T. Waterman, Ls
Grange.
Fifth district—Rsv. A. G. Thomas,
Atlanta,
Sixth distrust—J. C. Barton, Conyers.
Seventh district—J. J. A. Snarp, Wa-
lesca.
Eight district—F. T. Lockhart, An-
gnsta.
Ninth distrlot—Rev. G. 0. Qiiilan,
Cleveland.
It will bo seen that, even with Us limi-
tations, this Is a body of consider able
size.
It cannot fail to gather together work-
era of original methods, and successful
efforts in the great cause of Sunday
Schools. How immensely profitable to
each other, it ia for them to come togeth
er once ayearanddlscusa the practical de
tails of their work and to arouse their en
thusiasm by an exchange of experiences.
How interesting and profitable it is to all
those who hear teem.
The session is made short so that, large
as the body Is, any town in Georgia of
any considerable size can entertain it
with ease. We purpose from year to
year to carry it from point to point until
every part of the Stale shall be touched
by its benign influennes.
This next session in Maeon is the first
since the reorganization of the associa
tion. We expect a grand meeting—
something bnt little, if anv, below tbe
magnitude and excellenoy of the interna-
tional. Delegates from all ports of
the State will be there. But
especially do wo hope to eee
Middle and Southern Georgia folly
represented. There Is certainly enough
to provoke a large attendance from these
sections. It is the first session of the
Association that has been held so far
South. Many fine speakers and Snnday
sohool workers will be present, and If tbs
good people of Macon will shut their eyes
when they ooma to this part of my letter,
I will say that tho Association meets in
one of the most elegant and pleasant
cities in tbe Sontb. Let them ovary cn?
look forward in the joyful anticipations
to this oesasioc.

Hon. Abram S. Hewett, announcing in
the House the inability of the Conference
Committee to. agree, said frankly that
business operations, in whioh bis whole
fortune is employed, are always damaged
by extra sessions of Congress, and the in
dustrial interests of tba country wanted
the foity-fif>h Congress ■ to go in peace.
But, he said, “there are things greater
than money, greater than profits—with
out whioh money disappears, and profits
aro an illusion—things for which men
have eaonfieed fortunes and family and
life in every age of the world, and the
greatest of all, is tbe right of self-govern
ment. And this question, in this bill,
lies at the very foundation of the strag
gle for civil liberty, whioh has lasted
sinoe Governments were foanded, and
suivives to this very hour. If the pro
viBion authorizing the presence of troops
at tbe polls shall remain upoq our statute
book), when an unscrupulous executive —
and we may have snoh a one—snail oocu-
py the Presidential ohair, with lita power
to control the troops at the polls, the peo
ple of this country will never eleot his
suooessor. This danger oonfronts np.
We are asked why we press this issue
now. We press it now because we have
an admonition that, when the army bill
failed in the Forty-fourth Congress, the
army was maintained without law for
months, nearly to the time of the next
election, before Congress was called to
gether and provision could be made for
its support. Unless the provision for
whioh we have made so zealous a strug
gle goes into this bill, if the army exists
on the 30 th day of J one, 1880, then under
the precedent we hava seen the army can
be continued without law till the next
political election.
“If there should bs a disposition—and
I trust there will be none—but if there
should be a disposition to use the army
for political purposes, it will oe impossible
ever again, in my judgment, to elect a
President of the United Stales by the
voioeof tho people. It is for that reason
that conferees on the part of the Honee
have felt themselves constrained to plant
themselves firmly upon the ground (bat
they would never yield this provision,
and I trust that they will be sustained by
the unanimona voice ot the Honee. The
issue tbu3 made is one whioh we are ready
to accept before the country,
“Let the people decide whether the^
are prepared to surrender the sacred right
of untrammelled suffrago which this bill
seeks to guard, and the piovisions which
in the legislative bill are designed to
maintain unimpaired the trial by jury,
which is the great achievement of our
race. UnlesB the blood which courses in
our veins has degenerated from the Vital
fluid which has made the Anglo-Saxon
people great and free, I cannot doubt the
result of the appeal which I now make to
tho country.”
A Millionaire Befcgar.
A professional beggar has recently
died, in Berlin, leaving a fortune of more
than a million and a half marks to bis
heirs. He had many children and grand
children, and lived in eplendid style, giv
ing sumptuous entertainments, at 'whioh
the champagne is said to baye run 'in
streams. The soirees were only attended
by middle-class society, and wero held on
ly daring the winter. Ia summer the jo
vial old gentleman invariably left his
house for four or five months. It is no
known that he has regularly frequented,
at least until a few years ago, the princi
pal bathing places of Germany, and that
he has gathered his immense plunder by
begging. In wretched dress, with an in
valid’s cap, blue apectscles, long snow-
white hair, and apparently palsied limbs,
he nsed to shamble elowly along the
promenades. He never direotly asked for
anything, bnt used to receive voluntary
offerings from the visitors, and theso
amounted to a large sum, which was reg
ularly dispatched to Berlin every week.
His biggesc harvests were oollectedin the
great gambling towns, when those places
were in the fall bloom of their prosperity.
It was supposed that he had formerly
been very rich, but bad lost everything
at tbe gaming tables. He wonld pace to
and fro in and around the great building
at Baden-Baden, and more than once dar
ing tbe day some player who bad made a
lucky stroke of busineES would sympa
thetically press a piece of gold upon tho
old man’s acceptance. He is said to have
driven this profitable trade for thirty sea
sons.
The Senate’s Fioht With Time.—Ac
cording to th9 Sun Washington corns
pondent in the dosing moments ot Con

part of the House to send over its ocm-
mittee to wait npon the do faoto Presi
dent, bs the custom requires, Tho hands
on tho dook over the main entrauoe to
the Senate fsoing the President were
within three minutes of 12. Anthony and
Thurman, fathers of the Senate, appear
ed in the main aisle and the former sa d:
-‘We are informed, Mr. President, that tbe
House committee is on its way and will
reaoh here in m few moments.”
Thurman said: “I would advise you
Ur. P/eeident, cot to look toward the
olock fora few moments.”
Just then Mr. Bassett, the venerable,
white-haired and white.bearded door
keeper of the Senate, with his cane delib
erately moved back the minute band of
tbe clock five minutes. Again the read
ing of the titles of enrolled bills went on,
interrupted occasionally by a Senator
calling for some House bill by its number,
which was quickly found and rapidly read
a second and third time and passed.
Again the minute hsnd was nearly at 12,
and again Bassett mado his appearance
with his cane and rolled back the wheels
of time,
£At length Anthony and Thurman ap
peared in the main aisle, and annonnoed
that they had waited upon Mr. Hayes,
and he rad no further use for Congress,
tho gavel fell, and the Forty.fifth 'Con
gresa was at am end.
As to the SrsAKEB, tho New York
Herald prints a St, Louis dispatoh whioh
states that Hon. Wm. R. Morrison, of
Illinois, had arrived there and declares
most; positively that under no circum
stance will he be a candidate himself, that
be is opposed to Mr. Randall and in favor
of a Southern man for that position, in
order to test the question whether South
ern men can be put into prominent plsoea
with safety to the interests of the nation.
He regards Mr. Blackbnrn, of Kentuoky.
as a brilliant and able man, who would
make an exoellent Speaker. Ex-Governor
Throckmorton and Mr. Glddiogs, mem
bers from Texas, are also here on their
way home, and exprcsB the opinion that
most of the Texas members acd the
Southern delegation will vote for Mr.
Blackbnrn, and that Mr. Rindali’s defeat
is certain.
A Ilei'ald Washington dispatch also
slates the Blackbnrn men say that Mr.
Randall’s foross oh paper number only
seventy-seveD, and that, of this number,
they know of twenty two who will not
vote for BrndaU in tbe oanoa*. reducing
bis followers to fifty-five. Bat all calcula

The oanvaas will hardly poaseas definite
