Killing of an Outlaw.—Angusta
News: Some weeks ago the News printed
the account of a posse of South Carolini
ans, Tn their attempt to arrest a well
known desperado and escaped convict at
a bouse near Wedgefield, South Carolina,
an-1 the magnificent failure of the attempt.
On last Friday night, however, a party,
led by Charles S. Wilson, of Wedgefield,
surrounded the house and demanded his
surrender. Frierson rushed out, waving a
revolver, and was fired on. He ran about
two Imndrcd yards, and was caught while
climbing the fence. He died in twenty,
minutes, having ten buckshot in him. He
endeavored, apparently, before he died, to
tell something of the murder of an old
white man in the neighborhood that has
been a mystery for several years, but
death ensued in the midst of his confes
sion. He had frequently sworn that lie
would die before he would be recaptured.
He wtfs a desperate character, and was a
terror to the neighborhood. A general
feeling of relief is felt by all citizens,
white and colored, at his death. He was
tried for his life, several years since, for
the minder of an old and inoffensive col
ored man for his money, hut succeeded in
evading the penalty of the law by implica
ting a negro, Taylor Wilson, who was
hanged. He Is charged with having com
mitted other murders.

Augusta Evening News: Death of
a Young and Prominent Georgia
Journalist.—After an illness of some
weeks, Mr. H. G. Wright died last even
ing of congestion of the brain, at the resi
dence of his uncle, Governor Herschel V.
Johnson, in Jefferson county. Mr.
Wright was the second son of General A
R. Wright, and was twenty-nine years old
at the time of his death. He began active
life as a member of the Augusta bar
having entered the profession with bril
liant prospects, and under the fine
legal training of Lis distinguished
father. His peculiar talents, however,
tended toward journalism, and he con
nected himself, when quite a young
man with the Chronicle and Sentinel
as its local editor. He filled this place
with great credit, and upon the death
of his father, who was then editor-in-cliief
of the Chronicle, and whtn Mr. Henry
Moore decided to sell, he, together with
Hon. Patrick Walsh, bought the paper
and took his father’s place as editor-in-
chief. He, though a very young man to
fill so responsible a position, at once gave
evidence, not only of his ability as a wri
ter, but as a political writer of great force
and sagacity. He continued to exercise a
commanding influence in the councils of
the Democratic party, and made his paper
a most potent instrument for the advance
ment of its interests.
In 1877 he was elected a member of the
Lower House of the General Assembly,
Without ^position, and at once took high
place as a strong and conservative legisla
tor. He was, if we remember, a member
of the Committee on Rules, and Chair
man of the Committee on Railroads,
which had much to do with the present
statutes of the State on railroad subjects.
Mr. Wright was a trenchant, vigorous
and independent writer, aud his place in
Georgia journalism will be hard to fill.
As an editor his influence was great, and
Ids many friends and admirers through
the State will be deeply touched when
they learn that one so gifted and so prom
ising is cut off in the flower of young
manhood.
Mr. Wright married a daughter of Hon.
Henry F. Russell, of Augusta, aud leaves
a devoted wife and children to mourn his
sad death.
Tatnall county wants a poor house.
Bets are made in Savannah that Cen

A saw mill is much needed in Monte-

They are green and luxuriant, and pre

Another Crack Farmer.—Americus
Recorder : Hr. H. L. Calhoun, of Dooly,
on the Denuard place, made last year,
with sixteen mules, two hundred bales of
coubn, and com, rye, oats, peas, and po
tatoes enough to do his place, besides a
surplus of each for sale. This is ahead
of anything we have yet heard. Who

Milledgeville Recorder: Tlie new
extension of tlie Central railroad depot in
this city, is completed. It is not only
<well built witli a view to comfort,conven
ience and business, but is admirably ar
ranged and well furnished. There is a
capacious ware-room—office rooms for
agents and two apartments for the con
venience of travelers. A wide passage
separates the business offices from the sa
loons. It is the best depot belonging to a
single company, in the State. President
Wadley in this great improvement recog
nizes the very large business done here by
liis agents, and he has shown his liberality
by furnishing them and the public with
every facility for transacting their busi
ness pleasantly and being made comforta
ble. Besides this, it is an addition to the
appearance of the city in that direction,
which is no little consideration in itself.
We congratulate all concerned on the
consummation of an object so desirable.
Judge Simmons is presiding over the
Monroe Superior Court this week, in place
of Judge Speer. The Monroe Advertiser
says he delivered a plain practical charge
to the grand jury, giving them a clear in
sight into their general duties and ex
plaining the special statutes required by
law to be given to the jury. He enjoined
upon them the most available secrecy con
cerning the deliberations of the body, not
only daring court, but for all tune to
come.
Judge Simmons further directed the at
tention of the jury to their duty in making
careful inspection of the records of the va
rious officers of the county and its finan
cial condition. His charge was so practi
cal that there can be no misunderstand
ing of the jury and as it is composed of
intelligent citizens, we expect a good
week’s work. The other juries were or
ganized and the trial of cases commenced
at once.
Jail Delivery.—Union and Recor
der: On Wednesday night last three pris
oners escaped from the jail In this city—
one white man and two negroes. The
yhite man had that day been convicted
of forging or altering a note for a trifling
amount and sentenced to the penitentiary
for six years. Many expressed satisfac
tion that the young man had escaped, as
they thought the sentence out of all pro*
portion to the crime committed. We can
not so look at it, and must believe that
Judge Lawson acted with due regard to
the requirements of the law, though we
may be mistaken. It certainly was a tre
mendous punishment for a few dollars—
only $6 we hear. We have not heard how-
the prisoners got out.
The Greatest Wonder of phe
Age.—Athens Banner: On yesterday we
were assured by Messrs. Autry aud Ed
wards, well borers, that the day before,
while boring a well on the farm of Mr.
Sherwood Wise, some four or five miles
from Athens, and just beyond Middle
Oconee River, they took out from the
middle of as hard a blue granite rock as
they had ever encountered, forty-six feet
under the ground, a complete iron wedge,
such as is generally used in splitting rails
of wood. The iron wedge is in the pos
session of the gentlemen who took it from
the rock, and is apparently ,but little
worn.
For President.—Montezuma Weekly:
Yesterday morning, while passing up
Dooly street, we dropped into the busi

the following to be the vote of the busi

Seymour, 4; Nominee, 11.
Correspondents of the Constitution

against him, or how Thurman can carry
Ohio by which States both have lately
been defeated.
The Stock Market.—Savannah
the hears of martial turn donned their
toggery, and for a time forgot the “ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain,”
and inarched gaily to the music of the fife
and dram, excepting the older animals,
who from age or other infirmities were uh-
able or unwilling to participate in the ac
tivities of the day, but nursed their
strength for the festivities of the evening,
in order to keep up with tlose of younger
years at the closing of the “day" we cele
brate.” Tims tlie market was quiet, but
strong, with a slight advance, sales of four
hundred shares being made at 100| and
101; so Central may he quoted at those
figures.
"The presence of several railroad gentle

The Steamer H. B. Plant.—Savan :

Captain J. W. Fitzgerald, arrived here
yesterday from Washington, Deleware,
bound for Jacksonville. She will be run
on tlic St. John’s river'in connection with,
the Savaun ill, Florida, and Western
Railway, and is admirably adapted for
the trade. Her saloon is neatly furnished
and commodious, and her cabin accom
modations excellent. She is very attrac
tive in appearance, and we have no doubt
will prove a great favorite with the trav
elling public. Mr. Pratt is first engineer,
and Mr. John Sullivan second engineei
The steamer has powerful engines, and,
we understand, is very fast.
Says the Camilla Dispatch:. “Rice
culture is growing in interest with the
farmers of Eastern and Southern Georgia.
On the ordinary pine lands of this coun

almost any other crop, most profitable

our fanners wtll make a move in this di
rection ? It pays better than cotton in al
most every instance where the two have
been tested comparatively. We hope to
chronicle the taking of tlie premium for
the best rice by a Mitchell county farmer
at tlic next fall" fair.”
Athens Banner: “A witness at the

General concluded that such a man was
not entitled to be believed on oai’n him
self.”
Washington Correspondence.
Washington City, Feb. 22,1880,
THE DEMOCRATS,
after a field day yesterday, finally suc
ceeded in whipping the allied forces of
the Radicals, Greenbackers and so-called
Independents in the House notwithstand
ing Speer's activity and energy, and a ten
minute speech from the member from tlic
Eighth Georgia district who made pretty
much that same old speech about “Jef
fersonian Democracy,” etc. At first the
day seemed going against us hut theDem-
ocrats came in beautifully on the homo
stretch. Of pourse the Radicals heartily
applauded Mr. Stephens assaults on the
Democratic. line. That, somehow, goes
without saying these latter days. So, also,
does the prediction frequently heard now
from members of that party that if Grant
is nominated by them, Mr. Stephens will
support him against the candidate of the
“corrupt secession Democracy,” as his
friend Simmons phrases it. And speaking
of Simmons, I learned last night from our
friend Randall,'of tlie Augusta Chronicle,
who seems particularly well posted as to
that worthy’s chances, that he will betri-
umphatly confirmed. This is not my in
formation from Democratic Senators,
but then I may not have Randall’s
opportunities of information from other
sources. I think Randall is mistaken, but
lie is such an enthusiastic believer in
whatever he hears from certain quarters,
that it is almost unkind, yea, heartless, to
differ with him.
Felton seemed disposed yesterday to
take a back scat, in tin; tight" against the
Democrats. He must be under the weath-
somehow. Erobably that dose qj
Simmons has made him too sick for ac
tive work. Speer lias pushed him aside,
apparently, and now does most of the
heavy business for tlie so-called Indepen
dents. He is much quicker than Felton,and
like Hale, of Maine, isn’t afraid to come
to the scratch, no matter liow often he is
beaten. If he would quit his foolishness,
and come hack into ranks, he might make
a future for himself worth having.
STILL DVljj.
I have never known a duller session of
Congress. There may be plenty of fun
and fire ahead, hut so far there have not
been any surface indications. The new
rales have blocked the way and bottled up
Congressional oratory. When the rules
are disposed of then there may he music
in the air, and a lively sliakiug up
of old hones. I believe that both par
ties rather dread the first step, which
is always the one that costs. But
parly exigencies and political necessi
ties must force the fight after a while and
then things will fairly hum. This may
be bad for the country but is good for the
newspapers, and is bound to come. If the
Democrats had made, or rather had stuck
to the “fraud” issue, matters might have
been greatly simplified and our position
greatly strengthened. That was a plat
form on which all could have stood, and
it would have put the enemy on the de
fensive and kept him there. It was a
healthy and hefty grievance to present to
the people, and could have carried us
through the campaign swimmingly. Why
our leaders didn't so decide seems an evi
dence to me either of a gross lack of judg
ment or the existence of petty jealousy
and selfishness as contemptible as it was
stupid. I have as l.ttle liking for Mr.
Tilden, as a leader, as anybody, but I
sometimes think he could, with a united
party at his back, and his imrivailed skill
and energy in organizing and directing a
campaign, make the landing in Novem
ber. 1 have always held that in fighting
the devil or the Badicals it made veiy lit
tle difference which or what was the
weapon or methods employed. The fraud
issue would, it is true, have been rather a
narrow one for a great party to go to the
country on, and Mr. Tilden is far from
the most admirable exponent pf that poli
cy, but we can’t have political matters to
our liking always. We must fight with
one hand and hold our noses with the
other sometimes, especially when the in
famously rotten and odorous thing called
Radicalism was tlie adversary.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS >• ! ‘i
of babes and sucklings comes wisdom—•
or words to that effect—we are told some-
wliere in the Good Book. This is apropos
of something that was norated to me a day
or two since by a lady who is the
very fond mother of a bright little girl,
aged ten or thereabouts. They had been
in the House gallery, one listening and
the other looking at what was going on
below, when the sharp young person es
pied Mr. Stephens seated, as usual,'in his
rolling chair, and moving restlessly about
in the area in front of the Speaker's desk,
and in the main aisle separating the two
parties. _She.looked earnestly at buna,
moment, and then turning to her mother,
said: “Mama, just look at Sir. Steph
ens. He rolls his chair first on tlie Demo
cratic, and then on the Republican side.
Does lie belong to both sides?” I do not
know wliat.her mother’s reply was) except
a hearty laugh, hut I am ot tlie opinion,
that she thinks the young persou aforesaid
unconsciously propounded a somewhat
significant query. A very distinguished
Senator, to whom it was told in my
presence, insisted, that it was too
good to be lost, and that I should have
it embalmed in print.
A BLIGHT DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
seems to exist between Simmons’oppo
nents and his admirers as to his prospects
of confirmation. The former, say be will
be incontinently floored, and that only
Mr. Hill, and possibly Mr. Eaton, of Con
necticut, of tho Democrats, will vote for
him. The latter claim that he will go
through by two to one, and that a dozen
Democrats will vote for him. I have
heard these divers claims made within
the last twenty-four honrs. All lean say
is tint the Southern Senators who vote
for this odious old Tory had best make,
up their minds for warm times when they'
come before the “corrupt secession trait
ors” asking re-election. Some men don’t
fancy being thus branded, and as they

SOME MORE WINTER
came along'this morning in tlic shape of a
respectable snowstorm, which fell heavily
for two or three hours, but has now van
ished under-the.persuasion of- a bright
sun. The temperature, however, is still
more than seasonable, and aliowling wind
cuts like a knife. I had some thought of
buying an rilster cheap under the idea
that as winter .was gone they could he

them marked up again. The man up in

“Old Frob,” and foretelling plenty pf

some inside points.
Governor Colquitt and Colonel Avery,
his private Secretary, are both-here, or

“pumping” both on all those bits of per
sonal and home news that don’t get into

Nashville, Chattanooga and Central
Georgia Through Line.
The New York Tribune, of the 23d :
reports at length an interview between its
Nashville correspondent and Superintend
ent Newcomb, of the Louisville and Nash
ville road, in reference to tlie arrange
ments and prospects of the new through
line. We copy so much of this interview
as follows:
Your correspondent called on Mr. New
comb—froth whom all currents of infor
mation or surmise 'seemed to come—aud
asked him if it were tnie that lie had es
tablished the close relations reported with
Mr: Wadley.
He replied: it is true. The proposition
of a lease of the Georgia Central, made to
Colonel Cole and bought by us, was with
drawn at my request. I called on Mr.
Wadley, and we very soon arranged an
alliance of the very closest character.
We then agreed that this alliance was
just as effective as a lease could be and
much more satisfactory. I therefore sug
gested that the proposiifon be withdrawn,
and he agreed to withdraw it.”
“This, then, gives you control of every
line from the West to the South Atlantic
seaboard?” ”
“It gives us all that we want and all
that we have aimed at. We have been
greatly misunderstood in the South, and
liave been subjected to unjust abuse. It
was said that we bought control of tlie
Nashville and Chattanooga for the pur
pose of breaking up the through line
rom St. Louis to Savannah, and it was
credited to Mr. Stephens that ourpurchase
had destroyed the’grandcst enterprise the
South ever had. I remained quiet under
these assaults, knowing that when our
plans were developed it would be shown
that, instead of breaking up this line, we
had taken the only course that could make
it efficient or permanent. For years I
have appreciated the importance of a
through line in the South. I have known
that capital, immigration, enterprise fol
low the great currents of trade, and that
cities, towns and villages crow along their
sides,'just as harvests grow by the hanks
of rivers. But I have never yielded my
conviction that two great lines could not
prosper in a section that would support
only one. It has been clear for a long
time that our road and the Nashville and
Chattanooga must he brought under one
control in some one. For a long time we
have been on the point of flying at each
other’s throats, and in fact the building
of parallel lines, through tliinly-settled
sections of country, had already liegun
when we bought tho Nashville and Chat
tanooga stock, and put a stop to a policy
which must have crippied us both if per
sisted in. As it is now, we have a fine
field, and there is no fear of our being
driven into desperate measures. We
shall he able to give the South a better
line than it could have had otherwise.”
“ Is it your intention to demand of the
pool commissioner of the trank lines a
share of the Western freights?”
“ I do not think we will do so at pres
ent. We are fairly entitled to a part of
this carrying trade, and will get it, I ap-
irehend, without a demand. We have a
inc from St. Louis to New York, via Sa
vannah, seventy mile3 shorter—counting
the water at three miles for one of land
transportation—than that from St. Louis
to New York by the Pennsylvania Cen
tral. Our line is open every day of tlie
year, while the Northern lines are fre
quently blocked by snow and ice at tlie
busiest scasou. And then our line lias
no watered stock on which to pay divi
dends, but stands with steel rails and full
equipment at about $20,000 per mile, not
one-third of tlie capital cost of tho North
ern lines. We are therefore fairly enti
tled to> a part of this trade, and could
do.it, if necessary, cheaper than the com
peting trunk lines; but 1 do not anticipate
any trouble in getting all we want. At
ireseiit we are not prepared to do any of
:t If it was offered. Our local freights are
so enormous that wc ardfrdin 150 to 400
cars a day behind right now. "We have
several thousand men at work building
cars, and we are getting about 200 new
cars a month. We will get 400 cars from

brdugbt to our office last Saturday two
heads of a kind of wheat which we thifik
it will he to the advantage of our farmers
to try. Ho had about fifty grains, sowed
it in March, and obtained about a gallon
of .wheat. .Each grain produced twenty
or twenty-five stalks, and from each side
of the head came five orsixsmallerheads
—so that cich stalk produced about one
hundred grains. Even allowing twenty
stalks to the grain, and five hundred
grains ,to the stalk, this would be much
setter tliau the ordinary kinds yield. As
we said before, we think it is worth try

A Correction Cheerfully Made.
^We have received a. note from Colonel
Thomas Hardeman, Jr., tho President of
the State Agricultural Society, in which
hdlays:
Tn your issue this morning you state I
had informed you Atlanta had made a
formal proposition to have me hold the
next State Fair in that . city. I did not in
tend to convey such an impression, lor I
have no propositions from the city author
ities in reference to tho next fair. I only
wished to impart to you the Information
that some steps were beiug taken in a pri
vate way looking to that result.”
Our interview with President Harde
man took place on the street, and was ex
ceedingly brief. We understood him to
say that Atlanta would put in an applica
tion for the Fair, and therefore penned
the paragraph to which lie alludes, sup
posing he had reference to the city au
thorities.
Gladly do we print his- explanation, and
would not knowingly misrepresent either
the corporation of Atlanta or the esteemed
President of the Georgia Agricultural So

the circular by request, as follows:
To the Baptists of Georgia:—We avail
ourselves of the courtesies of the religious
and secular press, to state a few tacts
which we consider needful and proper to
the cause of Missions. Since last May
we have had no agents among you to col
lect funds—by this retrenchment we have
made a large saving. We have depended
solely upon the pastors, and we arc grati
fied at tlie promptness with which a great
many of them have responded. We have
urged the importance of securing small
contributions from the many, and that
collections he taken regularly and fre
quently. Tho number of contributions
lias been largely increased, and the
amount received is in excess of what it
was at this date last year—being in the
aggregate about thirteen thousand dol
lars. For this we feel grateful to .God
and to the brethren, and arc encouraged
to expect results still more favorable.
Oui confidence in the spirit of Missions
among the brethren has been strengthened,
We believe they will give readily to the
support of this cause if they are properly
approaclied upon the subject. We believe
the pastors would promptly bring the sub
ject before their churches if they did not
forget it. We believe if the brethren had
a proper appreciation of “littles,” the num
ber and aggregate value of their gifts
would he much greater. We do not ex
pect pounds from individual givers, hut
pennies from the multitudes. Do not de
spise the day of small things. Remember
the widow’s mite, and forget not that
the Lord commended her gift above
tho munificent donations of the rich,
It is proper, also, that we should state
to you that we are enlarging our works;
going to regions beyond; placing more la
borers in "the field; and that there are
many good and true men and women anx
ious to go forth and hear the everlasting
gospel to people who sit in darkness and
the regions of death. More funds are
needed, and we appeal to the Baptists of
Georgia to contribute their proportion,
We appeal to you, brethren, in the name
of our Master, who said: “ Go
and teach all nations.” We ap
peal to you in tlio name of the mil
lions whose daily cry is ringing upon our
ears, “Come over and help us.” We
entreat you by the prosperity with which
God :has blessed your labors, by the hope
of immortal blessedness which he has
kindled within your bosoms, by the joys
you experience in seeing the triumphs of
His kingdom; by the gladness of the na
tions brought to the Redeemer’s feet. We
entreat you to make some small contribu
tion to those who are preaching Jesus in
heathen lands.
■ It is only about two months before our
convention meets. Will not the pastors
all over the State take one or more col
lections before that time ? It the pastor
forgfets it, will not some deacon orbrother
or sister remind him of the work ? And
if it prove wholly impracticable to take a
general collection,will not each one who
reads this circular send his own contribu
tion-lot it he ever so small. Let ail
funds be sent as soon as collected to Dr.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—We
thank yon for your notice of the meeting
of the State Grange in your city on the
ninth. Having adopted as the organ of
the State Grange of Georgia the Patron of
Husbandry, of Columbus, Mississippi—a
strictly Grange journal, and the organ of
most of the Southern State Granges—the
full proceedings of said meeting have
been forwarded to that paper, and ten
thousand copies of the issue with pro
ceedings will be disseminated among tlie
membership of the Grange in Georgia,
when, no doubt, the press of our State in
sympathy with progressive agricul
ture will ’notice the same. The
Grange is clearly a national organ
ization, and is earnestly at work
opposing all sectional feelings and strife
and in this should he endorsed hy every
Conservative paper in this nation. The
last meeting of the National Grange man
ifested in its earnest actions, much inter
est towards correcting this .strife and ill.
blood that lias been engendered by parti-
san'misrepresentation. To shun this, the
National Grange passed l>y a rising vote
the following conservative sentiment, in
troduced by Mr. King, Master of tho Na
tional Grange ofMaine:
Whereas, Our true interest as a na
tion, our real and permanent prosperity
and happiness as a people, imperatively
demand that we should “dwell together in
unity,” that while jealously guarding our
own rights, we should be careful to accord
to others the privileges which be
long to every citizen, thus practically
illustrating that charity which is the
great distinguishing characteristic of our
fraternity, and
Whereas, our future advancement will
depend largely upon the full and practi
cal'recognition of the fact that tlic several
States of this Union, in their social, in
dustrial and political interests, are mutu
ally dependent upon each other, that when
harm comes to one, all must sutler,
and that what Is for the real good of one
must result in general good to ali, and
VVhereas, the influence of political par
ties as at present constituted, and as tlieir
interests are administered, and also of
party papers and party speakers, tends to
a very great degree to incite rather than
allay sgctional feelings aud local jealous
ies, 1 to provoke enmity between those
whos#” political interests ' and social
relations demand that they should culti
vate:, and maintain the most friendly re
lations, to engender a bitterness of party
strife and an unhealthy rivalry among
those who are really members of the same
great family: and, •
Whereas, Agriculture is at the foun
dation of all real prosperity and material
development, and aswe believe this de
velopment, can only he realized through
tlie 1 intelligent, cordial, unselfish organi
zation and co-operation of agriculturists,
and,
Whereas, Until llie advent of this Or
der, no organization composed wholly of
that class and administered in its especial
interests had existed, through and by
which farmers could so concentrate their
efforts and unite their forces as to make
their strength and importance apparent,
and their influence felt and appreciated;
therefore,
Resolved, By the National Grange of
the.Patrons of Husbandry of tlie United
States, convened in annual session at the
village of Canandaigua, State of New
York, on tlie 19th' ofNo’vembcr, 1S79, that
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry in the
United States. is a National Organization,
that we recognize tlie rights, civil, politi
cal and industrial, of each citizen of this:
Union; tlidfc’wtf have no sympathy with
frowned upon hy good citizens every
where.
Resolved, That we extend to all mem
bers of our Order, no’matter where their
dwelling place, or however humble their
circumstances, our cordial and fraternal
greeting, and assure them of our confined
interest in their welfare and our desire
far their social and educational advance
ment, and material prosperity; and we
hereby pledge ourselves anew, "to labor to
llie extent of our ability forthe realiza
tion of our wishes.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all
fanners and farmers’ wives, and farmers’
sons and daughters throughout this broad
l^nd, to jom our ranks and unite with us
In one grand effort ts give to the agricul
turists of America the intellectual and so
cial standing which they have so richly
earned, and to agriculture the political
recognition and pecuniary results which
its vast Importance demands, and we
promise to labor faithfully with them to
accomplish these results. "
Does this not ring like true conserva
tism,' which was breathed, and was from
thie heart of every member from thirty
States, in National Convention assembled,
aud each State is at work earnestly in
cariying out in good faith this action of
the National Grange? Will not Georgia
contribute liberally to this good end? I
am, most respectfully, T-. J. Smith,
Master Georgia State Grange.

Berlin, February 24.—The North Ger
man Gazette,in a leading article comment
ing on the proposed erection in Russia of
extensive fortifications at the frontier posts
of Roano, Baily, Stok aud Grodas, says,
Russia's purpose probably is to impress
her people with tlie belief that there is
danger of an attack from Germany, and
thus stir up popular excitement hostile to
the latter power. If it be true that Rus
sian designs against Germany, of which
General Giliontine, Russian Minister of
Was, is said to he chief promoter, arc
only postponed until France is ready, then
these fortifications against a peaceful
neighbor may be regalded as preparation
for future aggressive war, neither France
nor Russia has ever been attacked by
Germany, and the collossal armaments of
these two States, which, by compulsion,
weigh upon the rest of Europe, can there
fore be based upon an aggressive policy.

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, pre
sented a majority report to-day on the in-
vertigations made by the Senate commit
tee on Civil Service and Retrenclmicnt
last summer. The committee was in
structed to investigate the alleged dis
charge from civil offices of certain ex-sol
diers of Rhode Island inj violation of the
revised statutes,which direct that wounded
soldiers aud sailors shall be given prefer
ence in making appointment to civil of
fice. The report states that the testimony
shows beyond dispute that the statutes in
question had been violated, and that dis
charged Union soldiers were supplanted
wholly without cause. The majority say
the civil service of this government will
never be reformed and purified so long as
those charged with its administration vio
late its plainest 'principles in appoint
ments. Mere promulgation of civil ser
vice rales, orders and regulations is farce,
while the officials upon whom they are
intended to operate are incapable or wil
fully and contemptuously ignore them.
The cure of the evil rests with Congress
and the appointing power, and the respon
sibility for the condition of affairs as dis
closed by the witness, fastens itself there
abo. Tlie report is accompanied by a
bill which provides that no employe,
government contractor nor person holding
any office under the government shall con
tribute money or any other valuable
thing for political purposes. Third, that
no head of department dr any superior
officer shall collect or allow any one to
collect money or valuable thing from any
government employe.
It also provides that no national bank
which is a United States depository, no
railroad or steamboat company which has
received land grants, bonds or subsidies,
