LetnsiAHA.—The telegrams represent
tho Commission a attempting yesterday
to drive a trade for the election of Pack
ard to the United States Senate, hut failed
to do It. Such n proposition from the
Commission is ofa piece with its appoint
ment and fanctions. We trust that trad-
ing in polities is going out of fashion.

Jacob Brock has gono intovoluntary bank

of the pioneer steamboat men on tho St.
Johns river, and has done a groat deal to
develop tho State, and it is with sincere
regret that we learn that ho bos felt con
strained to lako this step.
How That ••Fit.’’—Wo havo all heard
through the Radical press, pulpit and
speakers bow "nobly" tho colored troops
fooght during tho Into unpleasantness,
but somehow the figures don’t provo
these assertions. The Now York Tribune's
Washington correspondent etr.los, from
the oflicial records, that out of a total of
lli9,Cl!l enlisted during the war, only
1.614 were actually killed in b&ttlo or
died of tbeir wounds. The dosertions
foot up 14,887, ond 1,G44 nre put down
as missing in action. Tho deaths from
disraso amounted to 31,888.

A specimen.
It is said that the President told Bcb
Alston that he wonld have received the
appointment of Marshal, but for tho op
position of Ben Hill, and tto Macon
Txi.z<jbafh and MiaszttoEtt wishes to
know now If Ben Hill prefers a Radical
to Alston.”—Ex.
We givo this as a specimen of tho mea
ner in which Mr- Hilt is treated. He,
Mr. Hill, Baw fl t to refaso to recommend
Col. Alston for appointment to office,
ergo Mr. Hill prefers a Ilxdical and is
tumaolf no better than a Radical. This
is tho logic of tbe Tflioeiph and Mss-
SENozn and, wo say if, with dne respect
to our contemporary, wonld be unjust
treatment to cm acknowledged criminal,
reach less to a Senator of Georgia, who
has won a place in the front rank of
Statesmen and patriots.
We say this is a specimen of the treat
ment of Mr. Hill, for the Teleobafb and
MzssrXwtB is not alone in indnlging in

TUB GEORGIA PRESS.
Tn* MrrciiEL Liout Guards.—Wo
havo received an invitation to ho present
at tho "Grand Hop,” which this young,
Lut liandsomo and flourishing company
proposo giving in the Hall of the Masonic
Temple, next week.
It will afford ns pleasure to look in
upon them, if hut for a moment, on that
occasion, though nny grasshopper of tho
lato visitation can out hop us; and, in
deed. wo don’t hop “worth a cent.”
Thn Guards, however, will donhtlees
hop with all tbeir might for tho honour
of ould Ireland, and they are hard to
beat at anything. Tho sale of tickets
haa been large and the a flair promises to
lie a great success.
Thus tho Forsyth Advertiter.
Wa respectfully submit that this is
"not the logic” of the Telegraph and
MsssEiroxn, and only an unfriendly or
forced construction of ourlangnagooould
make it no. The statement that Mr. Hilt
had defeated Alston’s appointment, was
made by tho usually very accurate and
impartial Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun, and wo quoted it as n
matter of news, and for tho especial pur
pose, by asking tho above question, of
giving Mr. Hill an opportunity of setting
himself right with hia constituents.
Very shortly after doing so, wo also print
ed two telegrams bearing on this matter,
one from Mr. Hill, himself, to the Consti
tution, to tho effect that he had, and
would refaso to mako any recommenda
tions of Democrats to Mr. Hayes for office
and another from Blodgett, denying that
Mr. Hill had recommended him for the
Marahalship of Georgia. This, we con
ceived, folly answered our question, and
vindicated Mr. Hill. Vo regret to
find that the Advertiser 1ms either for-
otton, or failod to credit us with this cor
rection.
Now a word personal to tho writer of
this article, tho Junior of tho Telegraph
and Messenger, and his alleged unkindly
feeling to Mr. Hill. Wo have heard
several times lately from gentlemen
whom wo are proud to call our friends,
and whom wo know also to bo special
friends and admirers of tho Senator, that
ho considers ns unfriendly to him, and
is puzzled to know tho cause. Wo sub
mit that ho has no reasonable or solid
ground for snch assumption, and regrot
know that ho entertains such nn
opinion. With perhaps ono exception,
wo venturo tho assertion that no news
paper man in Goorgia, since the war at
least, nos written oltener or more earn
estly in defenso nnd commendation of
Mr. Hill, and that no papers in tho State
havo published more articles writton by
Mr. Hill or his friends in his behalf, than
those the writer has boon connected
with in Georgia since the war. Tho old
Journal and Messenger, of thia city, when
under tho writer’s control, published and
etrongly indorsed Mr. Hill’s "Notoe on
tho Situation” nnd everything else ho
wrote on that lino. Wo havo, almost
without exception, always earnestly and
faithfully dofendod Senator Hill when
assailed by others, ns has boon
so often tho esse since the days
of 1888. In times post, wo have had
amplo reason to know that he fnlly appre
ciated this support, feeble though it
might havo been ; and wo know that no
longer than lost winter, ponding, or
rather shortly before, the Senatorial elec-
tion, Mr. Hill’s attention was called to,
and ho read with words of hearty satis
faction, a defenso or himsolf in this paper
against certain insinuations and assaults
upon him predicated upon his alleged
lukewarmness towards tho Democracy.

The Savannah News says a man named
Monseo was savagely assaulted on San-

Five thousand five hundred and seven
teen bales of cotton, valued at $303,668,

Tn* Thomasvillo Times says, during
tbe storm last Saturday night, in that
county, “Mr. Pearce Clay’s bouse was
blown down and his wife blown out of
the kitchen into the garden, some twen
ty-five or thirty yards distant. Miss
Hester, visiting tho family, was canght
between the logs, whero fIib wns held
until rescued a half hour afterward. Tho
chair upon which she was sitting saved
her life. Ears of corn wero blown
through tho crackB of tho crib, and tho
fencing blown away could not be found
within a radius of half a mile.”
A oang of organized catllo thieves

Of the storm Saturday night the Ameri

Heavy Rains—Hal and Wind in Sum

Iromendons rain fall at Americas and
throughout tho connty. Tho clonds be
gan to let down their watery contents be
tween 11 and 12 o'clock, and there was
little or uo intermission nntil five or six
o’clock tho next morning.
By an examination of upon vessels that
sat out exposed to tho rain during tho
night, it ha3 been conjectured with con
siderable probability of accuracy, that
not less than eighteen or twenty inches
of rain must havo fallen. (Whow 1) Many
wolls not well protected against drift wa

fall to tho top.
About eight o’clock, Sunday morning
it cleared off, and the snn shone in all

Tbo Leylnnd line steamship Istrian
sailed from Boston Sunday afternoon for
Liverpool, having on board 273 steers
destined for the English market. Tbe
cattle wero purchased in Chicago at an
average price of a little over nix cents
per pound, by Mr. William Colwell, a
well-known dealer who is operating in
his own behalf and that of a Mr. O’Brien.
They were at once sbippod to the Union

allowed to rest nntil Satnrday morning,
when they wero driven to East Bos

Tbe gang-plank over which they
were driven waa barricaded on each side
by bales of hay, and the cattle wero
gently urged on board by a number of
men armed with long poles. Tho main
deck of the Istrian had been fitted np
under the direction of the chief officer,
Mr. Henry Bayou, for their reception.
This was dono by building a row of
stalls, each about four feet wide, along
either side of the ship, and a single cen-
eral row between these. By this ar

It may be proper hero to remark, that
pruvious to 1853 there wero but foity-
seven Senators. Bat in 1853 nnd after
wards, to 1861, every county in tho Stnto
was c flowed n Senator. In 1881, how
ever, a return to forty-four Senators was
made, and in IS61 tho amount paid for
forty-four Senators and 169 Representa
tives, with their doorkeepers and messen
gers, was but $55,483—both tho Secreta
ry of Senate and Clerk of tho House and
all their clerks wore only paid $6,3S0—
total $C2,SS9.3G. The Legislature and
their clorks last year, cost $111,193.85—
nearly double. Tho clerks’ pay being
$38,043.70, more than four times the cost
of 1861, with onlv six moro members in
the House of Representatives than in

It may bo well enough farther to state,
that while there wore but two sessions

local legislation, they now act ppon, and
by turning it over to the Superior Courts,
where it can be dono in n few hours at
each Court, our Legislative sessions can
bo shortened ten, fifteen ortwenty days—
but say ten days. This would reduce
our sessions to thirty days. Redneo tho
members' pay to five dollars per day
(which is a plenty for thes j who
don’t want to mako money by being Leg
islators, and twelve and a half cents per

messengers to $5 por day, Seoretsry of
tbe Senate and his cleik9 lo $87,50 por

tives and his cleiks to $100 per day.
(These offiosrs received that amount in
1881, 1SC2, 1883 and 1S64, with forty-
four Senators and 169 Representatives,
and I learn wero well satisfied with it,
and performed tho business of both
Homes, as promptly as it ever has been
dono. And from what I have learned
and know, of tbo malter, I have no hes
itation in ooying that at>y man who wants
to mako money out ot suoh positions
wonld bo very foolish not to take either
office with that pay.) This being done,
let’s see the cost to the State :
219 members of the Legislature,
at $5 per day, thirty-six days, $32,860
Mileage 8.245
Two door-keepers and two Messen
gers 600
Clerk of tho House 3.000
Secretary and Clerk of Senate 2.625
Total $47,320
Tho cost of tho Legislature for regular
annual session for 8) years, at this rate,
would then amount to hut $402,220—a
saving from the expenditures under tbe
Bullock constitution of $1,172,841; and
under the people of Oeorgia’s constitu
tion as above of $403,402.
But suppose that after thus reducing
the pay of members of the Legislature
and its clerks, etc., etc, tho convention
shall conclude tnat it is best
havo biennial sessions, and that
tho sessions should ho extended to forty
days instead of thirty-six. By calcula
tion, it will be seen that tho forty day
session would amount to but $60,345,

he couldn’t speak a d—n word. Ho lost
bis breath and was feeling os if ho was
melting, when suddenly he was shored
into a vat of water that wonld havo froze
a polar bear, and then ho had no breath
at all. In the bottom of tho pool was
large chunks of ice, and he was standing
npon them, thinking all of the time that
they were skeletons of men who had been
previously killed and allowed to remain
therein. This frightened him still more,
bat he was helpless. He was snatched
from this cold water and thrown npon a
marble slab and steam was shot on him a
second time. Ha was whirled and turned
upon tho slab like a minnow would fiount
about. They scrubbed him, but still be
couldn’t speak, and all of the time he felt
as if bis skin had been flayed. After be
had been thoroughly soaked he was stood
npon his feet in a twinkling, and asked
if ha would have a man or a woman to
rub him off. He waa still speechless, but,
at the same time, he didn’t feel that he
had any time to lose, so he snatched his
pants and ono sock and rusbxd out upon
del the Bullock constitution, the ex
penditures hare been more than doubled
on the whole, and more ihsn doubled in
erexy instance bat two or three, and in
these instances bat a few thousand dot
lors is lacking to mote than doable oven
them. Aud yvt we find taxpayers
and property holders in Georgia, saying
they “don't want any change; don’t want
any Convention 1“
Not having < xciuiui d in in the mailer,
they don't know wlial they are doing for
themselVcB when they oppose a conven
tion at this time. Bat when they see
these facts from tho public records, I
hardly think that they will be so blind to
their oira interests as to ”haDg on” to Bnch
a “notion” any longer.
Why, Messrs. Editors, in the item of
Legislative expenses alone, if the people will
sustain the call for a Convention, and
•end to it their most intelligent, expe
rienced, sturdy and 6olid men—men who
don’t want to be Legislators to make
money by Buch a position (or to get $7
per dsy and stay in session as long as
cost under tho Bullock constitution, and
a saving of $531,072 under the pooplo’s
constitution us above. But I will go no
further, as I presumo that tho Conven
tion (if hold) will take much useless and
local legislation from tlio Legislature, and
throw it upon tho courts, where it will
take but a few hours, at most, in each
court, to have it done. And this being
tho case, I bavo no doubt, whatever, but
that our annual sessions of tho Legisla
ture can bo reduced to twenty or twenty-
five, and not exceeding thirty days. And
a biennial session ougnt not to last moro
than thirty or thirty-five, or forty days, nt
tho farthest.
With tho nbovo fads boforo mo, and
with these views, I cannot but believe
that nny man in Georgia who sees those
facts, etc., will at once seo tho necessity for
a Convention in the “money line,’’ at
least, at this time. As to trusting ts
members of tho Legislature to carry out
these reforms, tho idea is simply ridicu
Iona. Thoy havo been triod for tho (mat
live or six ycara, ever ainco Bullock ran
away, and with all tho abuse of Bullock
for his extravagant administration, tho
perdiom pay and miloage of the Legis
lature have since been the same as under
Bulloch. The per diem of the clorks lias
been abont the same.
Now, then, that tho great body of tho
people of Georgia, and especially the tax
payers and properly holders, havo such a
good chance to send their very host men
to Atlanta to look info tho past actings
and doings of both Radicals and Demo
crats ‘fur the past eight or nine years
nnder the Bullock Constitution. And
now, that thero is a chance for a sure
enough reform, and a ‘flopping off” of all
useless and unnecessary expenses, if,
after trusting to their members of the
Legislature for five or six years to pro
dues a reform, which they have not done,
the people of Georgia don’t riso np as ono
man and have those reforms made at once
by sending to a Convention their most
experienced, wisest and best men (men
who ero not alt the timo wanting or seek
ing cilice), they deserve to have a high
and heavy taxation put upon and contin
ued upon them hereafter. And they de
serve, too, to have tbeir money squander
ed and wasted as it has been squandered
and wasted under our present Bullock
and carpet-bag Constitution.
I might nay more, bnt think I hnvo
said enough for tho presont. 1 only
started out to givo certain facts from tbo
pnblio rocorda for the benofit of tho
peoplo.
As to the capital and homestead ques
tions, if tho people will send snch men,
and I think they will, to tho Convention,
wonld rather let them determine wbat
best to be dono (subject to onr ratifi
cation) after they got to Atlanta, rather
than make auy suggestions myself.
I am no lawyer, and, therefore, havo
not i xamined particnlatly tho principles
of tho homestead exemptions in tho Bat-
lock Constitution. Bnt I learn that the
Supreme Court has decided that the Bnt
look Constitntion only gives the head of a
family a life interest in tbo bomostead,
and that ho or aho can “barter it off’’
from “tho fumiiy’’inatrade. And I find
that sinco those decisions notoshave been
printed and are offered far sale nil over
tbo State, for sharp men to use whilo
trading with heads of families. I want
to seo this thing stopped at oneo. As no
othor power bnt a Convention of tho peo
ple can do this, and na I am in favor of a
sure and permanent homestead for every
family, be it large or small, I hope that
the Convention will so fix it in onr Con
stitution that whenever a head of a family
becomes insolvent, whilo living, or if, np
on dying, the estate is insolvent, the fami
ly, or the wife and children shall bavo a
homestead in said land or real estate, to
n certain amonnt, be it largo or small,
that no contract or debt of any l-ind shall
ever tale from them.
Tho tax-payers ond properly holders,
then, are not only to bo mnoh bencliiod
by a convention ; bnt It will bo seen that
the women and children of Georgin aro
also to bo mnoh benefited. Hence, os n
tax-payor nnd properly holder, I am for n
Convention “immediately, if not sooner.”

Tux Tiubiblz Tonrxuo.—A Tory re
markable exploit achieved off Cherbourg
by a littlo torpedo craft callod the Thor-
neycroft, is reported by the Pari3 corres
pondent of tho London Times, and has
made a good deal of commotion in Eng
land, os the experiment shows what simi
lar torpedo craft might do to the gigan
tic iron-clod navy of Great Britain.
Says tho account:
Of tho Thorneycroft very little is visi
ble above water; on the surface you see a
little grayish body, easily confused with
the Bea, but there are rooms belcw for
the officers aud men who steam and man
age her, while she is armed with a tor
pedo, projecting from her bow. Two
great disabled vessels wero tagged oat to
sea in succession, the Thorneycroft, with
a lieutenant and two men on board of
her, pursuing each in tarn. The Thor-
nejeroft with her engine and sails made
nineteen knots an hour, overtook each
disabled vessel, drovo the torpedo right
against it, recoiled herself, span round
and round for a few seconds, and then
Bteered off to the fleet, leaving no trace
of the vessel attacked, which was in each
case rent by tho great shock, and imme
diately went down. Tho Thorneycroft
only coat the fiftieth-part of a man-of-war,
so that fifty Thorueycrofts might be
made to attack on enemy’s fleet on all
■ides, for the expense of one man-of-war.
