Utica, February 25.—During the roll
call several disputes arose between con
testing delegates from various parts of the
State, aud there was much confusion and
wrangling over the appointments to the
committee on credentials. Stephens B.
French, ofNew York, nominated for tem
porary chairman, Hon. Charles E. Smith,
of Albany, which was received with ap
plause and was made unanimous. During
his remarks on taking the chair, allusion
to Grant, at Appomattox Court House,
was received with great applause. After
the transaction of a considerable routine
of business the convention took a recess
011 3:30 o’clock.
The convention has adopted a resolu
tion favoring the nomination of Grant.
The test vote showed Grant’s friends had
thirty-seven majority over the advocates
of an untrammelled delegation. The
resolution favoring Blaine for the second
choice was laid on the table.

S anization by the election of Charles E.

vanced age.
A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Times
says: “There is a sense of uneasiness ob
servable in every direction, and while
there is great fear that something will
happen before the anniversary of the Em
peror’s accession to the throne, there is
also a settled idea that the Czar will pro
claim something new on that day.
The most important fact connected
with the latter expectation is that very
important State documents arc in the
course of publication in the printing of
fice of the fourth section. A certain num
ber of trustworthy men have been work
ing at these papers for three weeks. The
contents of the papers are kept secret, and
in order that nothing shall leak out, the
printers are kept in charge of officers un
der lock and key.
This proves that something unusual is
being prepared, but as it was begun prior
to the explosion in the Winter palace,
that event may have somewhat changed
the government’s intentions.

New Orleans, Febraaiy 25.—In the
Senate to-day Mr. Cunningham rose to a
question of privilege, and sent to the Sec
retary’s desk and had read a copy of a
memorial address to the Senate and
House of Representatives of Louisiana.
The memorial is in the interest of Mr.
Kellogg, and represents that extensive
frauds were perpetrated in the State elec
tion, and that consequently a majority of
the members of the present Legislature
were elected and hold their office by Un
lawful means. The memorial was read,
after which Mr. Cunningham said ho con
sidered the memorial not only . false and
slanderous, but so disrespectful to the
Senate that he desired action upon a reso
lution declaring in contempt Senators
Cohen, Dcmas, Stewart and Scmmes,
who had signed the same. The resolu
tion was adopted. When Senators Co
hen, Demas, 'Stewart and Semmes were
arranged before the bar of the Senate, De-
mas submitted a paper which he read do.
daring that no contempt for the honorable
body was intended. The term Senator
was affixed to the signatures merely as a
means of identification, and no disrespect
to the Senate was intended, Further ac
tion was postponed until Friday next.
New York, February 25 A San
Francisco special states that at the Sand
Lois meeting Sunday a woman named
Sarah F. Smith advocated the hanging to
lamp posts of a dozen or more cigar man
ufacturers, and Kearney took up a collec
tion from bis excited audience to erect a
permanent gallows in the Sand Lots.
From secret information it is believed
that Kearney’s crowd intended an imme
diate resort to violence. In this contro
versy there is no certainty what Mayor
Kalloch may elect to do, but the Chief of
Police will act independent of him in the
preservation of the peace, and will be
supported by the State militia and the
United States troops.

Chief of Artillery six shrapnel shells
found in a tramway car. The Chief

San Francisco, Febraaiy 26.—Many
persons who have been supporters of the
anti-Chinese movement, hut whose busi
ness interests have been seriously injured
by the reactionaiy effect of a serious agi
tation in this city, as well as others, fre
quently express the sentiment that rather
than suffer a continuance of the evil re
sults of the protracted agitation it would
be preferable t J have it out at once for all,
and the sooner the better. The leaders of
the workingmen evidently have no desire
to precipitate a conflict, and their action
yesterday indicates that their policy is
rather to keep the agitation just at sudi i
point as falls short of violence yet is suffi
ciently threatening to induce an acquies
cence in their desires. This line of action
is dangerous in view of the excited state
ot the public mind and may result in pro
voking the other side into some action that
will bring about a. collision. Indeed,
that perhaps, at present, is the greatest
source of danger.
The Ninth ward Workingmen’s Protec
tive club met last evening and organized
a military company, twenty-two men
signing tbe roll. Some very hot speeches
were made at the meeting of ward presi
dents yesterday afternoon previously re
ferred to. Sheriff Desmond, elected by
tbe Workingmen, signified his intention to
support them in their movement. The
ward Presidents recommended that their
seven clubs hold executive sessions to
consider the pending question and pledg
ed the entire party to support the mayor
aud authorities in carrying out the law.
The Eleventh ward club, which was
the theatre of Kearney’s extraordinary
oratorical efforts Tuesday night, met last,
evening again, but with closed doors.
Around police headquarters everything is
profoundly quiet and there is no unusual
force on duty.
San Francisco, February 26.—The
ward presidents, Mayor Kalloch, and agi-
tators, held a meeting at their headquar
ters, and passed a series of resolutions de
nouncing the increase of the police force,
and the efforts making to resist the
execution of the demolition of China
town.
The resolutions give notice from that on
the perpetratton of any outrage upon the
workingmen’s party, or the employment-
of force to interfere with the peaceful
abatement of Chinatown, a nuisance, all
are ready to assert and maintain our
rights, and visit upon those interfering,
punishment so swift and terrible that the
reader ofliistory will shudder at the rec
ord. Mayor Kalloch approved of the
resolutions, but rccommeuded a cessation
of processions for a few days, as they in
terfere with the plans for providing work
for the unemployed. The Chamber of
Commerce has decided to raise funds to
employ several hundred men on the sea
wall, at one dollar per day.
Corpus Christi, Texas, February 26.
Last nigbt a band of fifteen Indians at
tacked a Mexican wagon train, consisting
of six wagons heavily laden with goods,

stock belonging to the train. The team
sters escaped and brought the uews of the
attack to Enciras, whence twelve men went
in pursuit. The Indians were well monnt-
ted and armed, and drove towards Rio
Grande river.

At 12.-45 the House, having dispensed
with the morning hour, went into com
mittee of the whole on the star service
deficiency bill.
Mr. Page, of California, opposed the
bill on the ground that it favoring some
sections of the South at the expense of the
West. The service had been increased,
he said, on nineteen routes In the Second
Georgia District, not one of which this
bill would touch, while it struck at one
hundred and seven routes in the West.
After considerable discussion, Mr. Ba
ker, of Indiana, In behalf of the Appro
priations Committee, submitted as a sub
stitutc for the whole bill a hill the first
section of 'which appropriates nine hun
dred and seventy thousand dollars for in
land star rentes during the remainder of
the current fiscal year at contract prices
existing February first, 1880, providing
that increased compensation in excess of
twenty-five hundred dollars on any rente
for expediting of service on any route.
After a long debate, Mr. Page, of Califor
nia, moved to strike the proviso out of the
pending bill, so as to make it appropriate
whatever amonnt shall be necessary for
*tlic star service during the remainder of
the fiscal year at or within the exbtiug
contract prices; yeas, eighty; nays one
hundred and nineteen.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, moved as a
substitute far the first section of the pend
ing bill, the corresponding section of Ba
ker’s bill introduced to-day, (summarized
above.) Agreed to. Mr. Blount then
moved to amend the second section of the
bill by striking out the appropriation of
one hundred thousand dollars to increase
the service on existing routes. Agreed
to. The committee then rose and repor
ted the bill to the house, and it' was
passed. Adjourned.

sand dollars to-day to Patrick Egan, see-
retaiyofthe Irish Famine Relief fund,
Dublin, as her contribution for the relief
of the Irish people.

far made amonnt to thirty-nine thousand
pounds. The Duchess of Marlborough’s

New York, February 26.—A Dublin
special says ’the correspondent on her
Majesty’s gunboat, Goshawk, which is
distributing meal among the Western Isl
ands, writes from Iunishark off Galway,
as follows: It is a terrible state of affaire!
Fifty families here eke out a miserable
existence. Their homes are small heaps
of dirty stones. Their land is rock and
soft bog. Hunger and want are every
where visible. The people go naked and
without food. Many are slowly starving
to death. Such scenes of appalling desti
tution I never before witnessed. The
more we saw the more certain did death
from starvation appear the inevitable fate
of nearly every man, woman and child on
the island. In many cabins the children
crouched shivering and almost naked
around the fire. When I entered, they
sprang behind their mother, whose siDgle
garment, a thin dress, was but slight pro
tection against the wind, whim blew
through the broken roof. On tbe firawas
dinner, a heavy pot of brown green sea
weed. Tire same correspondent writes
from Innislioffin concerning the shocking
maladministration on the part of the offi
cials there. The Government dispensary
office has no drags, and the relieving of
ficer no food.
San Francisco, Febraary 26—The
Cair this morning says a secret meeting of
citizens was held in the Palace Hotel last
evening to oiganize a vigilance committee
for the suppression of any riot which may
break out as tbe result of the labor agita
tion.
San Francisco, Febraaiy 26.—There
was no parade of working men to-day and
the meeting at the Sand Lots was com
paratively tame. Ameeting of merchants
was held this afternoon to hear the report
of the committee appointed to concert re
lief measures. The committee staled that
since the last meeting the incendiary lan
guage of the agitators had put the mercan
tile community in a frame of mind in
which it would be of little use to ap
proach them for contributions. Consid
erable inquiry to-day among gentlemen
supposed to be interested in the reported
vigilance committee movement failed to
draw out any direct information on the
subject, but there is good reason to be
lieve that tbe report is well founded and
that a thorough organization exists.
London, February 26.—A Paris dis
patch to the Times says the inhabitants of
St. Petersburg are beginning to attribute
the recent Nihilistic crimes and menaces
to the students and threaten that if any
criminai act is done on the. twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Emperor’s accession to
the throne, they will bum down the uni
versity and lynch eveiy student who falls
into their hands. The government is now
forced therefore to take measures for the
protection of the students.
St. Petersbtbg, Febraary 26 The
office of the Governor General of St. Pe
tersburg has been abolished and the mu
nicipal power vested in the commission of
supreme control under independent direc
tion oi Lovis Melikoff. Energetic meas
ures will be taken against the revolution
ary scheme. The appointment of Gene
ral Melikoff gives general satisfaction and
confirms previous indications that the pre
sent crisis will not he made a pretext for
increased repressive measures.
Cincinnati, February 26.—A Nash
ville, Tennessee, dispatch says at a called
meeting of the stockholders of the Nash
ville, Chattanooga aud St. Louis railroad
this afternoon, President E. W. Cole gave
notice that he would resign his position
which he could not consent to hold in a
company which might not.be able to afford
him unquestionable authority to protect
its interests.

Chattanooga road, and the officers present
of the Louisville arid Nashville he ap

pose of the Louisville and Nashville
company to carry out the project of a
through line from St. Louis to some
Georgia port and they expected to have
shipments of grain from the northeast not

A resolution was adopted ordering the
sale of the St. Louis and Southeastern

Nashville railroad. The ‘meeting then
adjourned until March 30th. •
London, February 26.—In tlie House
of Lords to-day, Mr. Nolan’s bill author
izing the purchase of seed potatoes for
Irish tenant farmers, was read a third
time. The House of Commons to-day
was crowded. Sir Stafford Northcote
moved the resolutions of which he gave
notice on Monday last, providing for the
temporary suspension of any member of
the House named by the speaker or chair
man of the committee, who shall persis
tently obstruct the transaction of public
business. Lord Harrington strongly sup
ported the resolution. He thought action
nthe matter had been too long delayed.
St. Petersburg, Febraary 26.—A
semi-official statement says: “It is im
possible to rectify all the erroneous stater
meuts published in the foreign press rela
tive to the explosion in the Winter pal
ace. No member of tbe imperial family
has removed to other apartments since
the explosion. The Emperor informed
the Empress of the explosion tho day af
ter it oecilrred. No arrests have been
made in the Winter palace, except those
of the workmen occupying the room
where the explosion occurred. Dyna
mite was, in all probability, brought to
the palace in small quantities by a pre
tended carpenter who had been working
in the palace since September last, and
who is now suspected to have been me
chanical engineer. After having sent away
his fellow workingmen, the individual
made his final precautions, ignited the
slow match and quit tha palace.
London, February ‘MS.—Semi-official
Provinsial correspondence of Berlin in
an article on the recent attempt on the
Czar’s life, declares that while Nihilists
arc gratifying their thirst for destruction
and confusion by ruthless attempts on
the monarch’s life, pan-slavists are seek
ing to inflame the minds of the people for
conflicts abroad. The Berlin correspon
dent of the Times remarks that this semi
official utterance clearly indicates the
element which the German Government
believes might precipitate a breach of the
peace.
Berlin, Febraary 26.—Prince Bis
marck has submitted to Bundcsratli a
railway law bill for the creation of a
Railway Council, and a bill for constitu

The Girard Estate.—John F. Gi
rard and numerous other heirs of Stephen
Girard have filed a bill in equity in Phila
delphia, which is to obtain from that city
and board of directors of city trusts a sur
render and release of all the real estate in
Philadelphia owned by Stephen Girard at
the time of his death, and the payment
to the heirs of all the surplus income for
the past twenty years above the expenses
of the college. These two items would
give over to the claimants several millions
of dollars.
Bio Locomotives.—The New York
Sun says the largest passenger engine ever
made in this country was shipped from
the Rogers Locomotive Works, Patterson,
on Saturday. It is for the Missouri Paci
fic, and one of an order for six of the
same kind. It is built for heavy loads
and great speed, and has 19 inch cylin

Fort Valley Adtertiser: Reuben,

equal for strength and meanness has
never been known.
The same paper says:
On last Sunday Rev. Mr. McKay came
out from Macon and held a service in the

lonor to the memory of one so well
known and so highly esteemed. Mr. Mc
Kay’s sermon was well timed and appro
priate, and the tears of the congregation,
while he was speaking of the death of Mr.
Sturges, testified to the great love and re
spect of all our people for his memory.
flncViLLE South Georgian: In the
lower part of this county, a few nights
since, while Rev.. C. B. Windham was
spending the night at the house of a
friend, his horse’s mane and tail was
shaven off. This is about as mean an act
as could be conceived, and as it was
doubtless done for mischief is still more
contemptible, as there is always a little
excuse for crime done in tbe heat of pas
sion. Such conduct' is deprecated by our
good people.
It is stated by the Winterville corres
pondent of the Oglethorpe Echo that the

feet of lumber, for the purpose of erecting,
before the summer, a large hotel at the
falls, capable of accommodating 150 to 200
ijuests. Recently the grounds adjacent to
i he fall have been cleared of all under
growth, and a park neatly laid out, which
will be dotted over with summer houses,
convenient seats, benches, etc. The
whole has been inclosed with a wire
fence. The falls is about 3,000 feet above
sea level, which presents claims to pleas
ure seekers and invalids and especially so
to persons affected with pulmonary dis
eases. ’Tis a noted fact that a native of
this section was never known to die with

grand for portrayal, and nothing but a

deur. It is worthy of the name it has
borne for years, “the Switzerland of

Sparta - Tskmdetitei Mrs. H. B.
Hooks, of this county, was dangerously
burned on the 16th instant. She was en
gaged in attending to the cooking, when
her dress accidentally took fire—she. does
not know bow. She • immediately gave
tin alarm,, and ran towards where her
husband, Mr. B. H. Hooks, and brother,.
Mr. C. H. Wamble, were at work. As
soon as they saw her they ran to her as
sistance, and succeeded in putting out the
flames with their bare hands, which were
painfully bruised. While sympathizing
deeply with Mrs. Hooks in the midst of-
her great physical suffering, we are truly
glad to know that her recovery will be
almost sure. Messrs. Wamble and Hooks
are hard working, worthy citizens, and we
hope their disablement will be of very
short duration.
Sparta Ishmaelite: Last week _
very heavy calamity befell one of our
cleverest and most enterprising citizens—
Mr. E. B. Brown. He was absent from
home, having gone to Milledgeville on
business. His wife had gone to make, a
short visit to a near neighbor; so that no
person was left in the house. .There was
but little fire iu the fife place, and it is a
matter for conjecture how the house could
have taken fire.' The fire was first dis
covered by parties living on the place,
only after it had got such headway as to
be utterly beyond control. The fire
spread rapidly and was spent only after it
had consumed everything within its reach.
The dwelling house and all the furniture,
two corn-cribs, containing about 300 bush
els of com, two smaller cribs filled with
forage, a workshop and most of the tools
were destroyed by the remorseless ele
ment. It is a very sad affair. Mr. Brown
has the substantial sympathies of our citi
zens. Such blows as this, in these hard
times, come with a dreary and telling
force. Ed is brave, strong and energetic,
and will fight his way up again, * •

ciates,on the ground that it had been ten
dered to him by Governor Colquitt, as the

We quote the following from an inter
view held with Kimball by a Constitution

‘Tt is true that we demand the road,

The Panama Canal.
The arrival of DeLesseps has set on
foot an active verbal and newspaper dis
cussion of his project. Admiral Ammen
pronounces the whole scheme a burlesque
on civil engineering—so impracticable ail
to be literally preposterous. Using the
valley of the Chagfes river in great part
for the route of the canal, and even a con
siderable portion of the bed of the river

“What is the history of-the transac
tion?” . ‘
“It is simply this. When I was in New
York a fsw days ago I received an official
notification from the governor that the
highest bidder for the road had not com
plied with the terms of tbe lease; that the
time allowed by law had expired—and he'
notified me ‘as the next highest bidder’ of
these facts. On this official notification 1
wrote the Governor at once that-1 had re
ceived his letter and would take posses
sion of the road without unnecessary de
lay. Shortly after this I met Governor
Cplquitt iri.tbe Fifth avenue hotel with
Mr. Tuggle, and I invited him to my
room, where I made him a tender of the
first payment. In the meantime I had
learned that he was in Washington, and
telegraphed him there the substance of
my letter to Atlanta.
Governor Colquitt then informed me
that he had reopened negotiations with
the highest bidders, whose time, as he had
already officially notified me, had expired,
and said he could not treat with me until
he bad seen them further. After a day or
two of discussion I learned that he had
consented to an arrangementwith a party
of Nfew York gentlemen wlvo were never
bidders for the road and with whom the
Governor had no sort of right to treat, as
I am satisfied he will discover upon inves
tigation.
“Was yOur company ready to take the
road?”
: i* We were. We had consulted Judge
Hopkins, and he had given us an opinion

I represented a strong company and a

Concerning the contemplated railway
from Way cross to Jacksonville, tho Hines-
ville Gazette says it is a fixed fact, and
that “surveyors are now on the route, and
there is no doubt hut that the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway Company
will soon build it. As the distance from
Waycross to Jacksonvillp is only seventy
miles, it will.shorten the route from Sa
vannah to Jacksonville one hundred
miles, and the run can be made in six
hours. The road Jwill be of great value
to the thriving town of Waycross.”

this glorious end. We are fearful, how
ever, that it will be returned to us in dne

Death of Judge J. H. Jones.—Grif
fin News’. Nearly two years ago Judge J.
H. Jones, of Twiggs county, moved with
his family to this city, where he has since
engaged in the practice of law. He left
bis old home on account of ill health, hop
ing for a new lease on life amid the
healthful hills of Middle Georgia, j Last
course of two hours. The rainfall of the
valley amounts annually to lOO jnches,
and the river itself becomes in -these rains
a raging mountain torrent, sweeping
down its channel with Irresistible fifiy.
No practicable human engineering, ac
cording to the admiral, can withstand the
enormous pressure and accumulation.
The Panama Star and Herald, ofa late
date, states tbe result of the.recent sur
veys as follows:
“The canal route has been thoroughly
studied, its difficulties investigated and
practical plans laid for their successful
treatment. The: material is obtained for
the settlement of ail disputes as to quan
tities, cost, etc., ,and many? prejudices in
the minds of some of the members of the
commission removed as to the practica
bility of the tide level canal. The whole
work, including every eventuality, is set
down at 843,000,000 francs, or $186,000,-
000. Complementary studies still going
on will reduce these figures, it is believed,
and several members of the commission
believe that tbe entire enteiprise will not
involve an outlay of more than $150,000,-
000. The time allowed for the work is
eight years;”

According to the Herald’s telegram
from Ireland, the distress there is daily
increasing. Actual starvation is only kept
under buy the excellent machinery for
distribution controlled by the several com
mittees which have the funds in charge.
In Donegal the number of distressed re
ceiving relief has increased to sixty-six
thousand. In county Mayo,' since! the
Herald’s Oat report, two weeks ago, the
increase in the numher of destitute per
sons has been nearly twenty-five thousand.
The fear is general that the greatest dis
tress has not yet been reached, The time
which is most dreaded is that betweep the
puddle of May and the middle of July—
the time, in other words, between the com
ing up of the potato crop and its maturing
for the table. The government;relief,
though liberal, floes not appear to be so
managed as to extend, its benefits to the
most destitute and afflicted. The works
are given out to contractors who cannot be
compelled, aud who therefore will not
employ Die untrained and famine-weaken
ed poor, but only able-bodied men capa
ble of earning their wages. Some letters
which the Herald prints are full of afflict
ing details. One of tjiese letters reports
three hundred families in a single
on the brink of starvation, and nothing to
give them. We have heard of letters re
ceived in this city by gentlemen having
connections in the West ’ of--Ireland which
tell fully as grievous a tale. The demand
for relief is incessant, urgent and most
mournful, and It rests upon an almost uni
versal distress which no spasmodic ffforii
seem to be capable of reaching.
fall, during a visit to Twiggs county, he
was attacked with tlie fell disease that
had long threatened him, consumption,
and since his return he had been gradual
ly but noticeably failing. For several
weeks past it became evident that his end
was drawing near, though until a few
days he was on the street daily. Friday
afternoon he returned home and took his
bed from which he never rose. He died
yesterday at noon. He was attended in
his last hours by Ills family, his two broth
ers from Twiggs, and his brother-in-law,
Representative Dupree, of Twiggs county.
The body was conveyed last night to
Twiggs county, where he will be in
terred.
The deceased was a man of more than
ordinary intelligence and talent, and was
for many years a prominent citizen of his
native county.
Oglethorpe Echo : While in Elbert
county recently we passed a small .settle
ment of three neat leg cabins, and every
thing about them was in such perfect re
pair that we decided.to stop and make in
quiries. Wc found that the places were
owned by Mr. Ficquet, who was reared
near the Glade in this county, his son and
son-in-law. Mr. F. is of French descent,
anil farms after the manner of that coun
try. The three families own but one
hundred acres between them, and it was
a few years ago too poor to' sprout peas.
We never saw finer wheat and oats than
are now growing thereon, ami were told
that in summer their corn and cotton is
the wonder of the neighborhood. Every
plant is manured and the crops look like
those on rich bottoms. They work them
like a garden, and not bnly make a good
support but money. A gentleman living
near says he never saw one of the family
idle. When business calls them to Elber
ton they carry a load of wood and turn
the trip into profit. Everything that can
be used as manure is saved—even the
fence corners being cleaned out and the
trash scattered over gabled spots. It
would pay our farmers to visit this'thrifty
Central Railroad Stock on the
page.
Yesterday, Central railroad stock vault
ed up to one hundred and five with |m ex
cited market, and many predict it will
reach one hiuufred and ten in a.week.
Every one looks wonderingly on, but the
explanation of this astonishing rise'has yet
to be made. The most probable solution
of the matter, however, consists ip the re
liable information that within a brief pe
riod four thousand shares, representing
four hundred thousand dollars of stock
held in Georgia, have changed hands and
found their way to Xew York. This looks
ominous and seems to indicate that East
ern capitabsts or some of tlie big railway
combinations, perhaps the Louisville
and Nashville, are bent upon, pur
chasing, regardless of cost, a controlling in
terest in Savannah’s great internal business
artery. The stock of tbe company, fortu
nately however, is scattered in small
quantities all over the State, and is owned
byonrownpeople. Itis, therefore, difficult,
perhaps impossible, to gather-together and
purchase a sufficient amount to control
the future management of tbe road.
As a Georgian, we ardently trust that
neither the Central, Georgia, or any other
railroad iu this Commonwealth, which
has been constructed by the enterprise
and funds of our citizens, will ever go-
into alien hands. Let us hold fast to onr
own institutions and operate them as best
the road, and we propose to insist on our
rights.”
“Will you proceed against the new
company .
I do not admit that there is any other
legal company, and therefore do not care
to talk about that matter. . It is enough to
say that we have the only right to the
road and we shall insist on it. There is
no doubt of our rights. We know that
Governor Colqnitt will enforce the law as
he construes it. He has already consul
ted Judge Bleckley on this matter. He
referred the matter of the deed to him.
Now I propose to the Governor that we
will submit our rights under this case to
Jndge Bleckley,who is his chosen legal ad
viser, without argument. If he does not
decide that our right is perfect and com
plete, I will agree to give way without a
word.
You must remember one thing. I have
been a legitimate bidder all the time.
The other company is an entirely new
one,' and is Hot the company that made
the highest bid. The name of that com
pany was the tWo Vibbards, "Wheeler and
Green. They have all retired and drawn
out. The company purchasing is a new
company, and one that was not represent
ed at the sale at all.
“If you get the road will you build at
once?”
“We will. From the very moment of
my first appearance in Macon as a bidder,
in November, we have been prepared, in
every sense of the word, to comply with
the letter and spirit of the law. And we
are ready now.”
We attach not the slightest importance
to the above rather sensational reading,
he is aWut^tt’lfUSQyernor knows what
that his trip toNew York, and subsequftm.
renewal of negotiations with the late con
tracting parties, was done without able
and competent‘advice in the premises.
Doubtless every step was taken after due
and weighty deliberation, and tbe Gov
ernor will show’ that his position is legally
impregnable.
It should be borne in mind that the les
sees came squarely np to taw in the exact
terms of the law, and the bargain was on
ly frustrated by the State refusing to
make, what they had a right to demand,
good titles to the purchased property.
And. though his Excellency did tendet the
road after the supposed failure of the sale,
to the next highest bidders, Messrs. Kim
ball A Company, it was done under tbe
belief that the trade had fallen finally
through-' Once convinced, however (as
tbe lachese had been on the part of the
State), that it could be satisfactorily res
urrected and accomplished, he felt it his
duty to carry out the transaction in good
faith. Had the failure in the end proved
final, then the Governor, though we differ
with him on this point, would undoubt
edly have carried out his alleged promise
and turned over the road, as requested, to

The name ofthat Company was tbe two
Vibbards, Wheeler..and Green. They
have all retired and drawn out. The

So far from this being true, Mr. Couper,
who bid off the lease, and Messrs. George
H. Hazlehurst and A, J. Lane, who joint
ly made up the ten thousand dollars earn
est money, and paid that sum over to the
Governor, were, then, and are now, active
members of-tha Company with whom the
Governor has concluded the purchase.'
In conclusion, We cannot think that any
serious delay will result from the claim of
Mr. Kimball to the road, and do not be
lieve thAt he stands the least chance of
being sustained by the Governor or courts.

The Last of a Brilliant and Popular
Young Journalist
.Tlie following account "of the burial
services of the lamented H. G. Wnght,
we clip from the Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist, which comes to us draped
sombre black lines in memory of the de
parted :
The funeral services over the remains
of Mr. H. G. Wright, yesterdav morning,
were conducted by Rev. W.JH. LaPrade,
Pastor of St. John’s M. E. Church. The
residence of Mr. Henry F. Russell, father-
in-law of the deceased, was filled with
friends of the dead young man, and rela
atives and acquaintances of tbe family
the large parlors were darkened, and al
though every space in’ the rooms, entries,
piazzas and stairway, was occupied and
peopled with attendants, a solemn still
ness pervaded the house where the living
breathed lightly o’er the bier of the dead
Out of doors, the day was one of exceed
ing beauty, and nature, as if regretting her
final blight upon the life and lntellect,threw
about the habitation of sorrow a soft splen
dor from the heavens, and summoned
to the sepulture the purest offerings from
earth. During Monday and up to the
time ef midday- yesterday the remains
were viewed by scores of aoquaiarances
and relatives, who had known the young
man in life. Hot unnatural to them
seemed the face of the dead: No mint of
pain or trace of emaciation attended the
repose of the well-cut features, shaded by
fair, curling hair, and many who had
markedhis thoughtful, placid countenance
in past days and no^ed his imperturbable
expression, could scarcely bellevs that
the blue eye would look no more into
life or that his brain was still forever.
Over the casket, around which the family
of the deceased gathered for the final fun
eral rites, flowers in choice profusion
were affixed, and from . the chandelier
above, a calm radiance swept over tlie
bier and breathed through the muffled
softness of tbe scene. After singing two
verses of. the hymn, “Jesus, Lover of My
Soul,” Mr. LaPrade made a few remarks.
Hr. LaPrade said:
This is neither the time nor the-place
for a memorial address, and yet we would
not close this service without some refer
ence to the important lessons w ith which
the occasion is fraught. . Out duty is with
the living—not with the dead. He,whom
you knew better than I, has gone beyond
our present reach. He had his virtues—
rich and many—and his faults, as who
lias not? God 'is just and merciful, and
his “judgments'are right.” According to
his deeds and according to his character,
which was at once the fountain and the
product oi his deeds, God has judged him.
Our estimates oi men are always more or
less erroneous; His estimates are exact.
We leave our friend in his hands; tlie
“Lord of ail the earth, will do right.”
Who among us all had prospects 90 bright
as lay before Mr. 'Wright eight years
ago? With youth, talents, energy and
friends, all predicted for him '«life of
great honor and usefulness. The
eyes of the public were upon him,
seeing iu him a future leader of whom
all would some day bo proud. Now, be
fore his powers had matured with years,
at the very beginning of life, he is gone.
While he lived he did good work in his
chosen field; noble work— irork that will
live on, as all true work does—but how
quickly ended! Thus uncertain are all
iis side the grave. Talents, youth, ener
gy, ambition—all' excellent things—are
aut as chaff before the resistless sweep of
death. It is well to hope, well to labor,
but it is not well to assume that yea's of
added life will bring fruits and .realiza
tions.’ No man can ebunt upon living un
til the hafvest. Human leaves do not
wait for the “sere and yellow” state. In
the greenness of springtime they wither
and fall—sometimes more rapidly than
the funeral flowers that love bfifers to their
memory. No plan in life is good that does
not reach beyond the grave,;, no labor
certain of reward save that which is “in
the Lord;” no entry of fame is eternal save
that which is made in the “Lamb’s Book
of Life.” I read from the cofiln-lid, “Re
joice, O young man, in the days of thy
youth; let thy heart cheer thee, and thy
hopes beckonthee, jnd thy labors employ
thee—but know thou that ‘no man know-
eth‘what a day may bring fbrth’—yea, ‘no
man knoweth the day nor the hour when
.Man Cometh.’ Seek first the
feet for eternrij. .and ppr.
arms. *Lay up treasure m Heavenr Ash,
whether the summons comes, soon or late,
all will be well.”
Concluding the delivery of these touch
ing remarks a feeling prayer was offered
and the procession filed from the house
to the cemetery, attended by a ions'train
of carriages and pedestrians. The re
mains were borne by the following gentle
men: Judge Claiborne Snead, Hon. Rob
ert H. May, Hon. Joseph 1$. Cumming,
Colonel Wilberforce Daniel,' J. C. C.
Black, Esq.,..papta5n Edgeworth Eve,
Captain James Bairett, Louis A. Dugas,
Jr., Ker Boyce, William It. Walton. At
the grave the impressive Methodist burial
service was read, and the mortal remains
of Hariy Gregg Wright were laid away
under a mound, which was covered with
flowers by his friends.

Saturday, having been sixteen days in
crossing the Atlantic. Shortly after leav

heavy winds and sea. The waves broke
over her deck and swept away the wheel
house. The railing abaft was bent and
twisted by the force of the waves. One
small boat'was torn from its lasbings-and
several others wete shattered and staved
in. Fortunately, neither serious accidents
nor loss of life' occurred, and her large
and assorted cargo, though tossed about,
remiiued uninjured. .
