Gladstone, while in Wales, spoke as though there was no province of Ulster and no Protestants or a loyal Catho lic population in Ireland. It is sad to see so great a man descend to artifices so trans parent to deceive his count rymen.” LIBERALS DISPLEASED. Mr. Gladstone’s recent tour does not seem to have forwarded the cause of the Liberal reunion. The English Libeial Association lias passed resolutions regretting that while Mr. Gladstone makes minor concessions with reference to his Irish bill of 1886, he adheres to the plan for an Irish Parliament, and ex pressing the conviction that his speeches .in Wales will discourage the hope of the re union, which the Liberal-Unionist® desire.

Smith spoke at a banquet of the Constitutional U nion last evening. He gave no indication of the measures he proposed to adopt in re gard to the crimes bill, but said it was the government’s duty to press forward the bill until a final verdict hail been obtained.

Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin, in sending to Mr. Harrington, secretary of the Irish National ljeague, the £3OO which had been forwarded to him by the Irish residents of Kimberly, Africa, together with a letter expressing the hope that the people of Ire land would avoid crime, despite coercion, trusts that the moderate councils of Parnell, Harrington and other political leaders will not be thrown aw "as long as the national movement is kept within its present lines,” writes the archbishop. “Irishmen may safely defy most of the vicious efforts made to slander them. At Rome, especially, may they disregard, with the utmost confidence, the efforts to persuade the Pope that the Nationalists are revolutionists.” DAVITT SAYS ITS “TIT FOR TAT.” Mr. Davitt made another speech at Bodyke to-day. He said he had received a letter from Mrs. Davitt intimating that if he should lie arrested she would speak in his stead.

Green, the only colored man ever admitted to the sig nal service, has been dismissed from that service without a character.

Macon, Ga., June B. —Meagre details of a most unfortunate homicide In Crawford county reached the city to-day. Owing to the distance from the city the account is necessarily imperfect.

Thomasville, Ga., June fi.— I The season just passed has been the most successful Thomasville has evpr known. Hit hotels and boarding houses were ail crowded to their utmost capacity, and this would have lieen true if there hail lieen double the means of aooommi station. The effect of this crowd coming yearly, and consisting ns it doe* mostly of very wealthy people, i* of no small benefit to Thomasville. In the first place, aliout #IOO,OOO of Northern money has lieen invested in real estate in and around this city since Jan. 1. Only a few days ago a real estate agent rereived'a check for $3,500 from a New York millionaire to nay for a small iniproved city lot in the business portion of Broad street. This same nabob while here in the winter paid SO,OOO for a farm four miles in the country, and i* now having erected thereon a $40,000 dwelling. This is but one instance out of many. The demand by Northern capital ists for Thomasville real estate of course stiffens our citizens in their confidence in its value, and there is at present going on a regular boom in real estate. The spirit of improvement seems to liave struck the place, and all of our citizens have their shoulders to the wheel, working for the fu ture prosperity of the South Georgia me tropolis. Mr. 8. L. Hayes, a well-known capital ist and financier, will next month open a National Bank.

Our mer chants and business men generally have subscribed very liberally to the stock, and the new bank will open under skillful man agement and with abundant capital. Mr. W. C. Pill man's new three-story brick store on Lower Blond street, is nliout completed. The grand Jury which adjourned last week found 175 true bills for illegal voting. It is rupposed that the only evidence liefore the grand jury was the tax defaulters’-list, and nr. this list was made out aliout two weeks Ixjfore the voting, and many paid after the defaulters’ list was made, very few, if any, convictions will likely be had. The commencement exercises of the South Georgia Agricultural College will come off the last of this month. ORANGE BLOSSOMS. Wedding of a Savannah Resident- Mill Accident—To be Incorporated.

Speculations Rife Concerning the New Railroad Commissioners. Tallahass' e. Fla., June 8. —All man ner of speculation is being indulged in as to whom the Governor will appoint un the Railroad Commission. Applicants are plenty and persistent. It is quite probable that the present Chief Justice of the State, Hon. George G. McWhorter, will he one or the Commissioners, as he desires to retire from the bench. No better man could bo found for the high trust. Should Judge McWhorter resign, the present Associate Justice, Hon. George I’. Raney, would most likely be made Chief Justice. It would not be surprising if Hon. E. J Vann, of Madison, were appointed to the vacancy that would be made by Judge Raney's promotion. He hits recently retired from the circuit bench, wljere lie made an enviable record. NEW BILLS SIGNED. Gov.
