DEAN'S DILL UNDER FIRE.
BRANTLEY OPPOSES SELLING THE
STATE ROAD.
All Pending Disputes Concerning the
Property Should Be Settled Before
Its Sale is Considered—The Provis
ions for Insuring the Payment of the
Purchase Money Declared Insuf
ficient.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19.—1n the Senate
to-day the debate was continued on the
Dean bill. Mr. Brantley, of the Third dis
trict, made a brilliant and forcible argu
ment against the bill. He regarded, the
question as one of paramount importance in
which the people of the whole State were
equally interested. It was a business mat
ter which should be handled in a practical
way. The building of the road was advo
cated by the greatest of Georgians, who
failed to discover that they were violating
the spirit of our institutions, and for forty
odd years the road has been a part
of the policy of the State. He referred to
the radical change of position of Senator
Dean, who was elected on a platform op
posing the sale, but is now the introducer of
a bill for the sale. He conceded an honest
change of opinion, but insisted that, the rea
sons controlling Air. Dean’s change would
not convince every one, nor indeed because
he changed did it follow that the people
had changed. The question of sale
is a now one in Georgia, and it
would be hasty to pass the bill now. Mil
lions arc involved. The financial policy of
the State is involved. He thought a sale
under this bill would be bad policy. No se
curity from the purchasers is provided,
other than that the title remains in the
State, but possession passes to the buyers,
who have twenty-seven years in which to
I>ny. He would not. sell property on simi
nr terms, and was unwilling that the State
should.
PROVISION against speculation.
Further, there is no provision against
speculation. The first purchasers may sell
again, and it may be sold again and again
and the State have no authority. It would
be greatly lietter to sell outright. Air.
Brantley objected, further, to tho bill that
it did not fully and accurately describe the
{import} to be sold. The purchasers cannot
mow what they are buying. They arc re
quired to pay a large amount before hav
ing an opportunity to examine the proper
ty, and over two years before its delivery.
This reverses all rules of business. Again
what disposition is to bo mado of the pro
ceeds ! Where is the money to be placed?
The State cannot afford to take dimves on
this great property, which is in a large
measure the basis of its credit. No provisions
is made for a settlement of the question of
betterment. The State may not be nliie to
deliver all the property. Yet under
the bill it binds itself to de
liver the property in tlio same
condition it is now. The bill proposes to
sell the real estate of the road, city lots in
Chattanooga and Atlanta. There is no
complete record of this property, liejthor as
to title nor value. There is not a Senator
who knows the extent and value of tne
State’s property in Tennessee nor the im
provements put on it by the lessees. A
oommittee has been appointed to go to
Chattanooga and investigate, but it is pro
posed to pass this bill in advance of their
report.
THE CLAIM FOR BETTERMENTS.
Mr. Brantley discussed Air. Brown’s letter
on betterments, and said the question can
not be ignortsl when such a man claims
that the lessees have a right to wreck the
road, which has never been met or
answered. The State now has no security
from the lessees, and there ought to boa
settlement of tiie l letter ment question be
fore an attempt is made to sell the road.
Mr. Roberts, of the Fourteenth district,
favored the bill, lie said there would be no
difficulty in giving a sufficiently full de
scription of the property to satisfy the pur
chasers. As to the threat of the lessees, lie
thought the State should act upon its con
victions, and proceed regardless and in de
fiance of ihreuts. Is it good financial policy
to keep this property when the income from
it does not pay the public debt intercut?
The futnro rental of the rood is merely
speculative. The value of the road
may lie greatly depreciated by com
binations against it in the next
few years. It is not a sound or wise jmliey
for a State to own a road to the discrimina
tion of its citizens, ller right to do so is
not denied, but it is an injury to the inter
ests of the citizens. The people on the Ma
rietta and North Georgia railroad uro more
clamorous for charter rights, which are de
nied them for fear they will affect the State
road.
Air. Rolierts thought the present lease was
honeycomlxsl with fraud. The 1 legislature
that passed the act did not treat it as a busi
ness proposition.
HAUNTED BY FRAUD.
Fraud will hung around this property
until it is sold. It was temptation that
made the Yazoo fraud, and there muy bo
other frauds exceeding it in turpitude if the
temptation is not removed. The threat to
wreck this property comes from a man the
btate has greatly honored. Shall we stand
appalled before this threat pending this
argumeut? The Senate then adjourned till
to-morrow.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 19. —Rev. Lvarts
Kent, the white pastor of tlie Houston
Street Colored Congregational church,
comes to the front to-day and publicly savs
that he sends his children to colored schools.
He sends one son to the Atlanta University
(colored) and two sons to Storr’s school, a
colored institution on Houston street, siqi
portod by the American Missionary Society.
Mr. Kent says that he pat ronizes the schools
liecauso the training is superior, and that
he believes that the co-education of the races
is right. Mr. Kent denounces the Glenn
bill us wrong, unchristian and unconsti
tutional, and thinks that* notwithstanding
its passage he will continue to

clared unconstitutional. Asked what he

law-abiding people, who believe in the co
education of the races and know its benefi
cial results from practice.” Mr. Kent is a

TIIK MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1887.
THE THISTLE AT ANCHOR.
Thousands of Visitors to the Chal
lenger from Scotland.
From the New York Herald.
“I would give 810,000 for a week’s lease
of that boat," exclaimed an enterprising
showman who stood in a crowd on the end
of the old ferry pier at Tontpk ins viile yester
day’ afternoon, and nodded his head toward
the Thistle, which lay 100 yards away.
“Why, what would you do witfi her*”
asked his companion, who was \yidl aware
that he did not have enough of the world’s
goods to enable him to enjoy the luxury of
a yacht for the pleasure it might afford him.
“Do with her?” he echoed. “I’d haul her
up on a dry dock, erect a tent over and
around her, stand at tho entrance, and take
the people's money at. the rate of jl a head.
Look at the people who come down here to
see her. Why, she’d draw like a circus.”
That showman had a level head, and
could he effect a lease upon the terms he
suggested, he could, doubtless, make a small
fortune from the venture. Never lias any
thing in the shape of a boat attracted so
much attention as has the handsome Scotch
cup challenger. Not less than 1,000 people
went down to Tompkinsville to get a look at
her on Tuesday, and there were at least
three times as many yesterday. The lioat*
men thereabouts are reaping a harvest of
coin of tho realm from people who want to
be rowed around the foreign racer. They
are a thrifty lot and are not at all conscien
tious as to the prices they charge. If busi
ness is not very lively, and there are enough
of them idle to make competition strong,
they will contract to row out to the yacht
and hack for #l. But if only two or three
are ashore, and the demand for boats is
greater than the supply, they run the price
up to 82 and 83.
A CHANCE FOR A LOOK.
All the excursion steamers running
through the Narrows veer from their course
and run close to the yacht in order to give
their passengers a chance to get a good view
of her. They run by at* reduced speed, the
bands play Scotch airs and the passengers
cheer until they are hoarse. At first tho
crew answered the cheer with a will, but
there were so many of them that it, became
an old story and also interferred with their
work and they gave it up. Thereafter the
officer on deck, m lieu of other means for
responding, answered all salutes by waving
his hut.
The crew having rested from the fatigue
incident to the voyage across the ocean, put
in a gcwxl day’s work on Tuesday, and soon
after daylight all hands were piped on
deck and began st ripping off the upper rig
ging. The running rigging, which looked
ns though it had been in service a year in
stead of a month, was coiled on deck and
the blocks, which were considerably chafed
during tho voyage, were scraped, varnished
and hung up on poles fastened to the dingy
davits at the port quarter. Tho short and
chunky stick which hail done duty ns a
topmast during the trip, the storm trysail
gaff and tha temporary bowsprit were alj
unshipped, put over the side, towed
by tho yacht’s cutter t*o the ferry house
pier, and laid near the long, canvas-covered
racing spu s. In tho afternoon the racing
topmast and bowsprit were towed over to
the yacht and put on deck. They will lie
shipped to-day. The work of putting the
big spars in place will 1* carried on with all
possitilo haste, and Capt. Barr expects to
have his boat in sha[>e to cruise about by
Tuesday next. He says that ho is anxious
to get her in trim to sail as quickly as possi
ble in order that he may more thoroughly
acquaint himself with the courses over
which the cup races are to he suilo L He l>e
came pretty familiar with (he courses when
he was here in 18S5 as skipper of the cutter
Clara and will, therefore, carry no pilot (lur
ing tho races.
CONCERNING THE VOLUNTEER.
When the Volunteer is brought up as a
subject of conversation within ids hearing
Capt. Barf is always an attentive listener.
Ho makes no concealment of the fact that
he regards her as a dangerous rival, and
evidently believes that she is fully as fast
on every point af sailing except before the
wind He is naturally loath to express any
positive opinion about jier until lie lia-s soe i
her sail, and is, therefore, very guarded in
his replies to the oft repeated question,
“What, do you think of her?”
“No admittance except on business” are
the words painted in big black hitters on a
sign board winch hangs near the Thistle’s
boarding ladder, but it seems to have little
effect in keeping all sorts of people from at
tempting to get aboard. “Not less than 200
people have come alongside and asked per
mission to look about the vessel,” said the
good-natured Captain, “hut I have strict or
ders not to allow any one on board without
a permit from one of the owners, and must
obey it to the letter. Why, even in Ikm rook
Bay 1 was compelled to turn away some of
my most intimate friends.”
Among those who did visit the yacht
during the day were Richard Henderson, of
the Anchor Line, one of the owners; Com
modore Bateman, who came down in his
fleet steam yacht Meteor, anil brought with
him his partner, Mr. Green, John F. Hum
mer and E. 8. Chapin; Cant. Morrison, of
the Anchor Line steamship Utopia; Commo
dore Cornelius Leo, who made a reputation
as an amateur skipper by bringing the yawl
Cythera safely across tho Atlantic,™ heavy
weather; W. A, W. Stewart, the owner of
the Cythera; T. Malcolm Forbes, the owner
of the Puritan; Reginald Francklyn, Howell
Sanderson and W. T. (lliphant.
Mr. Forbes inspected the yacht with the
eyes of a connoisseur and thought that she
looked wicked. He was especially struck
with her big mast, and the only point which
called for criticism was tho stern, which he
thought looked as though it would drag
considerable water after it.
Commodore Bateman said it would he
nip and tuck bet ween tho Thistle and the
Volunteer in light weather, but that in a
good breeze the latter would have consider
ably the best* of it.
One of the amusing incidents of the day
was the exhibition of pertinacity made by
a neatly dressed, elderly man, with bushy
gray whiskers and a drawl in his speech
which would have done credit to Lord Dun
dreary. He went alongside in a small boat
and started to go aboard without ns much
as asking leave. A sailor caught him in the
act and ordered him off. He persistently
hung about tlie •iaddor until the captain
came on deck.
“I say, old man!” he shouted, ‘‘caronSyou
make an exception for au Islo of Man man?
1 came from Douglas, and you ought to let
me on.”
“Impossible,” replied tho captain. “My
instructions forbid it.”
The skipper's attention was then attracted
in another direction for a moment, and
while his back was turned the Isle of Man
cluinbored up on deck and dlssap]>oared
down the companionwuy,
VISITORS IN CROWDS.
Steam yachts, launches and rowing
barges hovered about* the cup challenger as
thickly as flies around the bunghole of a
molasses barrel. Frederick W. Vanderbilt
came down from the citv with a party of
friends in hi# steam yacht Vedette. .lordan
L. Mott's steam yacht Puzzle brougut a
good load of sightseers. 801110 of Coni.
Oherardi’s family came over in the navy
yard launch, and the six oared barge of the
Nereid Boat Club, loaded almost to the gun
wale with a bevy of young ladies from
Brooklyn, floated around for lialf an hour
or so. Some of the comments made by the
fair passengers indicated that they were en
thusiastic yachtswomen and denoted thut
they lmd made a close study of the subject.
•‘How much she is like the Volunl<*er,”
exclaimed the brightest looking one of the
lot.
"Why, how can you say that?” replied
the young lady in the bow seat, who had an
eye lor color rather than shape. "The Vol
uiiteer is painted white.”
One of the adjuncts of the Thistle is a
racing gig. It came over by steamship with
tlie spars and is stored Witli them at the
ferry house, The crew that mans this have
won several gig raees 111 K tgllsli water#,
aud, as they are desirous of mooting some
of the gig crews of American yachts, a se
ries ot races is likely to Is* arranged.
One of (lie mntiv tmriio.ii-. which ran
alongside during the afternoon carried a
delegation from the Thistle Curling Club,
of this city. They were there to invite
Capt. Barr to attend a reception which they,
in conjunction with tho Caledonian, This
tio and Midlothian societies, propose to ar
range iu his honor. He promised to bo
present.
GIVEN UP.
The Charles Henry Supposed to Have
Gone Down.
From the Pensacola (Ha.) Commercial.
During the gale of three weeks ago, in
which the fishing smack H. S. Rowe was
wrecked, there were at sea the fishing
schooners Sarah L. Harding, Emma 8.,
Ada, Niantie, (Albert Haley, supposed) and
Leonora and the sloop Charles llenry. It
will bo remembered by tho readers of the
Commercial that considerable anxiety was
felt for some days afterward as to their
safety. Every one of them, however, with
one exception, made a harbor safely and re
ported at home, having a rough experience,
imt fortunately, no loss of life.
The one exception is tho sloop Charles
Ilonry, which is out twenty-eight days to
day, and no tidings of her since the gale
have ever come to hand. It was supposed
for a time that all the vessels had ro[rted
in safety, as it was several times currently
rumored that the Charles Henry had ar
rived at Mobile, but all doubts in this con
nection were set at rest this morning by a
letter from John Barbich. Mobile, to War
sen & Cos., of tliis city, which states that
the vessel has not reported since the gale.
The Charles Henry was last seen by Capt. ,
Joe Fish, of the smack Emma li. She was
then riding at anchor, with a tri-sail set, off
Phillip’s Inlet, near the spot were the Rowe
went on the beach. it is possible she
dragged ashore, losing the crew, and the
tact that no tidings have been received of
the wreck may be attributed to the sparsely
settlei 1 condition of the country along the
beach from Phillip’s Inlet to St. Andrew’s
Bay, but it is more probable that she went
down at anchor. There was a heavy sea
rolling in from the southward, and experi
encod men sav the latter theory is most
probably correct.
Her crew consisted of five men, including
the Captain. They were:
Louis Verbeck, Captain, of Mobile, aged
about 35 years.
Roger Spinnagio, an Italian, aged about
23 years.
Charles Coombs, of Mobile, aged about 40
years.
Joe Lazzaro, a Portuguese, aged about 47
years. Ho leaves a wife and one child in
this city.
A Swede, known only as “Jack,” aged
about 34 years.
Capt. Verbeck is said to have been a
very stubborn man, yet afraid of deep wa
ter. and those who know him best think he
refused to scud before the gale to sea, pre
ferring to take his chances near tho shore,
and that finding his vessel pitching under,
his stubborn nature prompted him to hold
on at ail hazard, and ho held on until the
vessel went to tho bottom with all on board.
If such was the position in which ho was
placed, he could have slipped his cable and
beached the smack, as was done in tho case
of the H. B. Rowe, and thereby have saved
the lives of himself and crew. Howevor.it
wore uncharitable to suppose that Capt.
Verbeck did anything but what he thought
was right, considering his duty not alone to
himself and crew, but to the owners of his
vessel as well.
Capt. Joe Fish, of the Emma 8., who
arrived this morning, reports seeing a lot
of wreckage at sea, just off Phillip’s Inlet,
vaster .my, among which was a bowsprit
which,he thinks might have belonged to a
smack. “It may have been the Charles
Henry’s,” said Cnpt. Fish. “If she went
down at anchor, it is possible that she is
breaking to pieces, and the wreckage I saw
may have belonged to her.”

Eob Lincoln’s Superstition.
Ex-Secretary of War Lincoln, who is now
and then mentioned in connection with the
next Republican nomination for President,
is said to be earnestly and unalterably op
posed to the use of his name in this connec
tion. Hon. Frank Hatton, who was in Ar
thur's Cabinet, with Lincoln, was in AVash
ington n lew days ago, and, speaking of the
Republican nomination.doclared Lincoln hu--
nn intense aversion to the idea of being a
candidate for the Presidency He says no
one can doubt, the absolute sincerity of the
px-Secretary's protesting agaiftst any move
ment being made in his behalf. He implores
his friends if they have any regard for him
not to think of or mention tho matter. He
has no desire to enter the White House
again in any capacity. Indeed, he seems to
have a horror of the place. His presence
there after the assassination of his father,
and again after the slmoting of President
Garfield, has caused him to associate
thoughts of violence and death with the pres
idential office of which he cannot rid him
self. It is believed that ho has a supersti
tious feeling that if he were elected Presi
dent he would himself be in danger of assas
sination. To a well-known army officer not
long ago, who inquired of him about his
Presidential chances, Mr. Lincoln replied:
“If you ever hear of my wanting the office

A proud incident in Ihr history of American
naval conflicts Is recalled by the proposed sale
of the old corvette t’yane, now lying at Mare
Island navy yard. San Francisco. She was at
one time one of the finest war shipis in the Eng
lish navy. On Fell. *4, 1813, she, with a sister
ship, I he Ijevant, becaoiu the prize of the Amer
ican frigate Constitution, off the coast of Portu
gal The Constitution was in command of Capt.
Charles Stewart, of Philadelphia, and the cap
ture of the two corvettes was an act of daring
as unique r.x it was successful.
