i ESTABLISHED | \ J. H. ESTILL, Editor and Proprietor, j COURTESY WITH CLAWS. EMPEROR william will enter tain THE CZAR. The Interview between Them will be Brief and Very Stiff A Russian Customs Guard Shoots a Prussian on the Frontier—Anti-German Pla cards Displayed In Restaurants and Shops. {Copyright 1887 by the New York Associated Press. J Berlin’, Oct. 2D.—lt was arranged at the beginning of the week that the Czar should leave Copenhagen and travel via Germany to Moscow. The imperial saloon train at Wirbullon, a Polish station, was ordered to lake up the Czar to Lubeck. Berlin court circles expect ed the courtesy of a visit to Emperor William en route. Then came the news that the arrangement had lieen countermanded. Moscow advices confirm the reports reaching here from Copenhagen that tho postponement of his return is due to the appearance of symptoms of measles. His travelling via Germany and consequent visit to the Emperor are now accepted ns inevitable. The visit is officially considered undesirable, but care will be taken to di vest it of all, political significance. The health of the Czar and of the imperial chil dren forbids their attempting the Stockholm or Libean routes and they will consequently pass through Berlin. Prince DeGiers will not accompany the Czar, nor will Prince Bismarck he present at the interview be tween the Emperors. Although he has been expecting the interview to take plaep, Prince Bismarck has maintained an attitude of reserve toward the Russian Embassy and under his advice the Emperor refrains from meeting the Czar until he is formally ap prised that his journey homeward is about to commence. The interview will be brief and ceremonious. THE GRAND DUKE EN ROUTE. Grand Duke Nicholas passed through Berlin on his way homeward. He was re ceived at the railway station Thursday night by the Russian Charge D’Affaires, who accompanied him to his hotel where he remained without being visited by any one connected with the German court or army. His speech at Dunkirk on Oct. 5, in which he expressed sympathy with France as against Germany, although denied by him, remains an undoubted fact. The Grand Duke resumed his journey yesterday un noticed. An incident on the frontier beyond Tilsit of a Russian customs officer shooting a Prussian named Glinke is strikingly’ similar in some respects to the Schnaebel affair, but, unlike that affair, it does not stir tho public pulse or official feeling. The an tagonism of Russians in Hie frontier provinces is demonstrative, but it excites no similar response from the Germans. Frontier restaurants frequented by Russian officials, and drink shops patronized by soldiers, display placards bearing the words: “Here no Prussians are served with meat or drink.” Stores in Moscow aud Russian shops in Warsaw and elsewhere an nounce: “N,* German goods sold here.” This ostentatious outbreak of German ophobia is know to be due to official incit ings. Taken with other things it is an indi cation that the coming conflict between the empires will not, in the opimen of official Russia, be long postponed. THE REICHSTAG. The Reichstag opens Nov. 22. It is semi officially stated that the Imperial Budget will show that an increase in matricular contributions of 30,000,000 marks will be required. The latest official statement is to the effect that Emperor William’s cold has not abated. His rest was repeatedly disturbed last night. The cause of his indisposition presents no unusual features and his illness causes no anxiety. He rose at noon to-day and was able to transact someJState busi ness. The creditors of the Leipsie Discount Company expect to receive 25 per cent, of their deposits. More fraudulent practices in connection with the failure have been disclosed, and a number of Berlin firms have resolved to bring the whole council of administration before the court of justice. The revelations show that the clerical staff of the bank must have known its condition. Some of the clerks received in lieu of cash for their salary shares of bank stock which they sold at until the day’ before the failure. The shares are now quoted at 2)9. The Reichbank, Berlin, Disconto Gessells chaft and Deutsche bank, are losers by the failure. The hurricane on the Baltic only abated Thursday. It created terrible havoc among shipping, and communication on railways along the shore was Interrupted, travel on the Lubeck line being suspended for three days. Low ly’ing parts of seaports were flooded, Dantzic especially suffering. GREVY’S RESIGNATION. It Has Not Been Tendered Yet, but is Considered Probable. Paris, Oct. 29. —La Justice states that President Grevy has agreed to postpone tendering his resignation in consequence of an interview with M. Rouvier, M. Leßoyer, and M. Floquet, who declared that many members of tho Chamber of Deputies would revoko their first vote on the motion for the appointment of a committee to in quire into tho Caffarel scandal when it be came evident that their vote might be susceptible of an ambiguous interpretation Other papers assert that there is no question j of President Grevy resigning. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Bryee questioned the government about: ar my storage contracts and moved that Gen. Perron, Minister of War modify the system. The government proposed to pass to the or der of the day, but the motion to that effect was rejected by a vote of 281 to 219, and M. Bryce’s motion was adopted by a vote of 308 to 185. The result of the vote caused a sen sation in the chamber. The committee ap pointed to inquire into the CalTarel scandal, unanimously reported that a paiiiam ntary inquiry into the matter, and into the charge's made against M. Wilson in connec tion with the affair was necessary. It is stated that the Cabinet is not in clined to oppose the decision of the commit tee of the Chamber of Deputies that a par liamentary inquiry is necessary in the Caffarel affair. Tito Cabinet will merely make certain reservations on the scope of the inquiry and the effect to be given to its decision. M. Rouvier, Prime Minister, will attend before the committee Thursday. The Radicals and a section of the Mode rates intend to actively Opposo the bill for the conversion of rentes. Should the attack on the government fail, they will renew the onslaught on the public worship budget. Blunt’s Sentence Too Long. London, Oct. 29.—The Dublin corres pondent, of the Timex says there is a una nimity of feeding in that city that Sir Blunt’s sentence is too long, and that the sentence is disapproved by tne loyalists as Much or more than by Sir Blunt s friends. if %' p jp CHAMBERLAIN SETS SAIL. He Was Cheered ar.d Hooted as He Moved Along Under Police Escort. London, Oct. 29.—An official denial has been made of the rumor which has been in circulation here that President Cleveland had requested Lord Salisbury to cancel the appointment of Mr. Chamberlain to rep resent England in the fisheries negotiations. It is announced that Mr. Chamberlain is as sured of the cordial reception by the Ameri can authorities, despite tho attacks made upon him by interested parties. Mr. Chamberlain started from Birming ham to-day on his way to America to take part in the fisheries negotiations. Before leaving the city he addressed a crowd which had gathered to see him off. He said he hoped the relations between England and America would continue to be cordial. HAS HE A FORBODING? He also said that these might lie the last words he might ever address to his hearers, and advised them to stick firmly to the Union and maintain the inheritance be queathed them by their forefathers. The greatest, enemies of the commonwealth, ho declared, were those who would do anything to weaken or impair the integrity of the empire. upon the arrival of Mr. Chamberlain at Liverpool the station was cleared and the public was not admitted. The station was strongly guarded by police. A number of detectives followed Mr. Chamberlain from the station to the steamer Etruria, it being expected that an attack would be made upon him on the streets. He was cheered and hooted as he passed along. TORONTO’S OPPOSITION. Toronto, Ont., Oat. 29.—The Globe to day published extrac ts from editorials in the New York Times, Tribune, Sun and Pall Mall Gazette on Mr. Chamberlain’s appointment and adds: “Mr. Chamberlain’s commission should be withdrawn. He has succeeded in rousing the dislike of Americans of all shades of political opinion. By his clumsy and illtempered indiscretions, the man has almost destroyed the chalices that an honor able and equitable settlement may be reached, and lias shown himself entirely de ficient in tact, and in the good sense that is required to repair the damage he has done. If the British government does not recall his commission, and give it to some cool headed man they must assume enormous responsibility for the dreadful troubles like ly to come from the failure of the pend ing negotiations. If tho government of Canada were careful of the interests of the Dominion they would instantly require the supersession of Mr. Chamberlain. He has already done more to imperil the amity of the three nations than all the Gloucester poachers, Canadian cruisers, and Behring sea revenue cutters put together. ” HANGING OPPOSED. Meetings at Paris and New York in Behalf of the Anarchists. Paris, Oct. 29. —American Anarchists having asked a number of mem tiers’ of the Chamber of Deputies to petition tho Gov ernor of Illinois in favor of the Chicago Anarchists the Extreme Left met to-day and resolved to send the following to the Governor: In the name of humanity and in the name of the connection between the two great republics, the Paris Deputies advocating the abolition of political deaths, ask for the lives of the seven men condemned to death at Chicago. A MEETING A NEW YORK. New York, Oct. 29.—A meeting held un der the auspices of the Knights of I .abor took place to-night in Union Square, to pro test against the hanging of the condemned Chicago Anarchists. Not more than 2,000 persons were present. Tho machinists car ried their red flag at the head of the pro cession. J. J. McGuire, James F. Quinn and Patrick Doody were among the speakers. Resolutions were passed call ing upon the courts of the nation to imme diately release the condemned men, and providing for tho appointment of a com mittee to proceed to Illinois and wait upon Gov. Oglesby if the Supreme Court fails to grant a stay. ENGLAND’S DECADENCE. Intimations that She Can’t Cope With European Powers. London, Oct. 29.—Sir Charles Dilke’s first series of articles in the Fortnightly Re view on the British army renew the alarmist view that Great Britian is unpre pared to cope with European powers. Sir Charles argues that an expenditure of £3,000,000 for new rifles, and £2,500,000 in fortifying military commercial stations is an absolute necessity, without counting the advisability of improving the organiza tion and equipment. He further believes that an expenditure of from £8,000,000 to £5,1X10,000 in fortifying positions around London would distinctly pay. THOEBE’S CONTEST. Sixty Copies of Kis Bri6f Filed with the Clerk of the House. Washington, Oct, 29.—T0 day J. Hale Sypher, attorney for George H. Thoebe, contestant, against John G. Carlisle for a seat in the Fiftieth Congress, has filed sixty copies of his brief with the Clerk of the House as required by law. The brief as serts that Mr. Thoebe was elected by 000 majority. This result is found by rejecting about 1,000 votes cast Tor Mr. Carlisle and about 200 votes cast for Mr. Thoebe which were polled at precincts where it is claimed, the laws of Kentucky were not ob served. The brief cites Congressional pre cedent from 1191 to prove that Congress maintained this view of the law of elections. It also quotes admissions made by Mr. Car lisle in nis answer to the contestant’s notice, which are held to be fatal to his title to the seat. B & O.’S NEW OFFICERS. Spencer to be President and Others to be Promoted. Baltimore, Md., Oct. 29.—1 t is stated to-day upon good authority that upon the •lection of Mr. Spencer, which is now looked upon as certain, at< President of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad Company, Thomas M. King, Second Vice President, will re sign. In that event William M. Clement, now General Manager, and C. K. Lord, (ienoral Passenger Agent, will lie elected to the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Silencer ami the resignation of Mr. King. Wlio will bo Mr. succes sor as first Vice President and General Man ager has not been definitely settled. It is also said that John K. Cowan, counsel in chief of the company, will be superseded by William Pinckney White. It Has Loot Its Identity. Richmond, Va., Oct. 29. —1 t was not, as stated yesterday, the Newport News and Mississippi Valley railroad which was placed in the hands of a receiver, but the Chesa peake and Ohio railway, which has recently been merged into the Newport News and Mississippi Valley system. The error was due to the fact that the Chrsajieake and Ohio has lost its identity on account of the merger. SAVANNAH, iGA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER JO, 1887. GERMANY SEIZES SAMOA. A KING OF HER OWN LIKING PUT ON THE THRONE. The Deposed Ruler Surrenders to Save the Lives of His People-The New Zealand Herald Twits the United States with Cowardice—A Letter by Malietoa. London, Oct. 29.—Advices from Apia dated Oct. 18 say that the Gerftian Consul refused to recognize the municipality which the foreign consuls hitherto administered and the German uavul commander de manded a large sum from King Tamezese for recently assisting him against Malietoa. KING MAIJKTOa’H EXPLANATION. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 29.—The steamer Zealander from Australia brings full details of the surrender of King Malietoa, the native king of the Samoan Islands, to Ger man officials. There is also to hand by this steamer a letter by the King to the Ameri can aud British Consuls a day or two before his surrender. Following is the full text of the letter: I, Malietoa, King of Samoa, write this letter to you as lain now in distress. When Chief Talmezese and others first commenced the present troubles it was my wish to punish them and put an end to the rebellion that they had raised. Acting, however, on advice and under a.Nguranees of the British and American Consuls I refrained from doing so. I was repeatedly told by representatives of the British and American governments that they would afford me and my government assistance and protect ion if I abstained from doing anything that might cause war among the the Samoans. Rleving upon these promises, I did not put down the rebellion. Now I find that war has been made upon me by the Emperor of Germany, aud Tainezese has been proclaimed King of Samoa. The German forces and the adherents of Tamezese threaten to make war upon all Samoans who do not acknowledge Tamezese. lam innocent of any wrongful act aud I hereby protest against the action of Ger many, but as the German nation is strong and 1 am weak, I yield to their power to prevent my people being slaughtered. I shall deliver myself up to the German forces to-morrow to prevent bloodshed and out of lore to my people. I de sire to remind you of the promises so repeatedly made hv your governments and trust that y<HI will so far redeem them as to cause the lives and liberty of my chiefs and peo ple to be respected. I wish to inform you that. I fear the Germans will compel me, as they are now forcing my people, to sign paiiers acknowl edging Tamezese as king, and if 1 sign such papers it will tie only under compulsion and tq avoid war being made on 1113* people. Malietoa. King of Samoa. AN EDITORIAL UTTERANCE. In a column and half of editorial on the situation in Samoa the New Zealand Herald has this to say: It is quite clear that if America and Great Britian had both shown that, they would be united in resisting the action which Germany evidently premeditated the course pur sued by the officials of the latter power would have l>een very different. The only possible way of accounting for the sudden and arbitrary proceeding taken by the German Consul at Apia, aud by Commander Hausner in declaring war against King Malietoa and sub sequently deposing him, is by supposing that at the Washington conference, around which so nnich mysteiy has been designedly thrown, Germany lias put forward claims which the American representatives were inclined to favor, but to which the British representatives was hostile. At all events it would appear that some serious difference of opinion regarding the control of Samoa required an adjournment of tne conference to enable the representatives to consult their respective gov ernments. Had the conduct which Ger many has been guilty of in Samoa been resorted to by the government of such a kingdom as Denmark or Holland, the tone and attitude assumed by the United States authorities would have been very different from that observed in the present instance. GOULD SAILS FOR EUROPE. He Goes for Pleasure and Will be Gone Three or Four Months. New York, Oct. 29. Jay Gould and party sailed for Europe to-day. The party consisted of Jay Gould, Mrs. Gould, Miss Nellie Gould, aged 1(1, Annie Gould, aged 8, a young son, aged 6, and Capt. Shaekford, of the Atalanta. When Mr. Gould had gotten things somewhat in order on ship board he left his friends and made himself the centre of a group of reporters who were waiting for him. WIIAT HE SAID. “Now,” said he, “what can I do for you? What do you want me to say? Don’t talk business, though, for I am thinking of nothing but pleasure; that is what lam bent upon at present and expect to attend for the next three or four months.” With out waiting to be questioned he continued: “We are going direct to Gibraltar, where my yacht is to meet us. Then we will cruise around the Mediterranean for two months; no business, only pleasure. George is capable and I rely on him, aided by the advice of my friends. 1 wish you would deny the statement that my physician goes with me. I am not sick, only in nei of rest. I expect to bo home in the early spring.” KNOXVILLE'S ENTERPRISE. She Will Subscribe SIOO,OOO to the Carolina and Western. Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 29—Knoxville to-day voted on the proposition to sub scribe SIOO,OOO to tlie Carolina, Knoxville and Western railroad. The subscription was carried by an overwhelming majority. In a population of nearly 40,000 fourteen votes were pilled against the proposition. The new road will run from Knoxville to Augusta and Port Royal. All the counties in East Tennessee and North Carolina, through which the road is to run, have voted libera! subscriptions. The road is to be completed in eighteen months. Work is in progress on the South Ctmilina end of the line. Surveys arc now being made to extend the road from Knoxville westward to the Cincinnati Southern rail road. Only two months ago the city of- Knoxville subscribed $500,000 to the Powell Valley railroad and the Knoxville Southern railroad, both of which are in rapid process of construction. A RAILROAD INJUNCTION. Its Object to Prevent the Voting of Stock at an Election. Huntsville, Ala., Oct. 29.—Through Counsel John McElroy, of Anniston, Ala., and John W. Weed, of New York, W. H. Woods, Leopold Siegmund and Abraham Friedenburg, of New York, have filed a bill in the Chancery Court hore against the Memphis and Charleston and East Tennes see, Virginia and Georgia railroads to per petually enjoin the former from per mitting the latter to vote 10(5,261 shares of Memphis and Charleston stock at the election to be held Nov. 17 In Memphis and Huntsville, of which shares it is charged tile East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia illegally and f. audulently got control. The bill is lengthy and charges the management of the Memphis and Charles ton with manipulating the latter to its det riment for East. Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia in the interest of the latter. The complainants own 8,800 shares. STATES’ RIGHTS. Tho Threatened Conflict in California Temporarily Averted. Washington, Oct. 29. —The threatened conflict between the civil and military forces at Round Valley, Cal., reservation has been averted by instructions sent by the Secretary of War to Gen. Howard to with draw the United States troops now on tho reservation, pending a judicial settlement of the matter. It is learned at the War Department that a company of soldiers un der command of Cnpt. Shaw was ordered to eject a number of squatters from tho reser vation at the request of the Interior De partment. An injunction was obtained by the squatters from the State Court, and as tho captain of the United States forces re fused to oiiey it, the State militia was called upon to enforce the court’s order. APPEALED TO THE UNITED STATES COURT. At this juncture tne Attorney General appealed the case to the United States Court, and at his suggestion Capt. Shaw was directed to discontinue further proceed ings. It was while this appeal was pending that the Sheriff began his movement look ing to the arrest of tho military force. The order sent to Gen. Howard to with draw the military force is expected to prevent an immediate conflict, but the question of Jurisdiction involved is regarded at the department as of the graves:, im portance. It has cropped out in one shape or another in all of the Indian outbreaks of the last lew years wherever the State or Territorial authorities have attempted to make au arrest of an Indian on military reservations, and final settlement of the conflicting rights of the State and Federal authorities over government reservations is earnestly desired by the military officers. NORFOLK NAVY YARD. Its Importance to the Government Cannot Be Over-Estimated. Washintton, Oct. 29.—Com. Harmony, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks in the Navy Department, in his annual report to tho Secretary says, concerning tho Nor folk navy yard, that its importance with its lino position, mild climate and abundant natural resources within con tra’ cannot be over-estimated, and it is earnestly recommended that every opportunity should lie takon to make its equipment ample in all particulars. An appropriation of 825,000 for railroad ex tension is requested, and it having been determined to build an armored vessel at this navy yard an estimate is submitted of 875,000 to provide a permanent building for iron and steel shops to contain such portion of the plant as needs such shelter. A. STATION NEEDED ON THE GULF. Com. Harmony also says: “The necessity for a naval station on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico is said to be imperative, not only for the possibility likely soon to arise iu these waters and adjoining West Indian countries and seas, but also because the station is needed as a base for the naval de fense of our own coasts and the protection of the outlets of our Gulf and Mississippi trades.” Com. Harmony believes that Pen sacola, although defective in some respects, combines more advantages for a naval station than Kev West or any point on the Mississippi river. He recommends that the navy yard be moved to the upper part of the bay and nearer the city, and anew and larger dock constructed to replace the un serviceable sectional dock. SECRETARY WHITNEY ILU He Is Unable to Work and Cannot Pre pare An Annual Report. Washington, Oct. 29.—Secretary Whit ney is now in New York and will not return to Washington for an indefinite period. Although not suffering from any disease he is forbidden by bis physician from undertaking any work. For the past year the Secretary has had troublesome headaches, which have grown more and more severe and frequent until now he is unable to work. For the past two weeks he has not been able even to read his letters, and although he has accumulated some of the material, he has written no word of his annual re port and there is no prospect that he will lie able to prepare one. His physician states that with necessary rest the Secretary will be perfectly well again, and it is probable that he will go to some quiet country place to recuperate. During his absence Com modore Harmony will actas Secretary, his duties ami responsibilities being shared, however, by the board of bureau officers re cently organized to meet this emergency. Tho Secretary’s condition is simply the re suit of the hard work he did here all last summer on the plans for the cruisers and their gun*. His report will be prepared by Commodore Harmony, assisted by the chiefs of bureaus. NOT SERIOUSLY ILL. New York, Oct. 29. —The illness of Secretary Whitney is not regarded as seri ous by his physicians who are in attendance at his home, No. 2 West Fifty-seventh street. Dr. Loomis bavs that the only tiling which Secretary VVhitney needs is rest. The Hecretary will go to Lennox in a day or two to find the quiet that lie so greatly needs. No visitors are allowed to see him. CAPE CHARLES’ QUARANTINE. The Richmond Board of Health Pro tests Against Its Removal. Washington, Oct. 29.—Dr. T. E. Ktrat ton. President of the Richmond Bourd of Heulth, called on Surgeon General Hamil ton to-day in relation to the proposed re moval of the quarantined vessels from Cape Charles, Va., and the raising of the quaran tine. Ho represented that the step would expose Richmond, Norfolk, Baltimore, and Washington directly, and that vessels might land cargo and passengers in Chesapeake bay and spread cholera germs in the country. Dr. Hamilton replied that the vessel now do ing quarantine duty was not fit to remain out during the winter months, and to leave hex out would jeopardize the lives of her physicians and crew. He, however, appre ciated the gravity of the danger, and prom ised to consult with S icretary Fairchild with a view of having a revenue cutter per form quarantine service. Custom House Clerks Dismissed. Washington, Oct. 29.—Secretary Fair child to-day authorized the dismissal of six teen clerks of the SI,6(X) grade in the New York Custom House who had failed to pass the civil service examination for promo tion. This is in addition to thirty-three clerks in the custom bouse who were dis missed yesterday. Swinburne's Cholera Patients. New York, Oct. 29.—The Health Officer to-day reports with reference to the cholera cases in quarantine that the Alesia’s passen gers are all well, and that the two passen gers from the Britannia are improving. One child, 1 year old, died last evening, and two persons were sent to the hospital. “Golden Medical Discovery”—the great blood-purifier. (IOIiDON’S TOUR IX OHIO. ERRONEOUS NORTHERN IMPRES SIONS CORRECTED. Nothin? Treasonable in tho Welcome to Ex-President Davis nor in Love for the Old Fla? and Those Who Fought for It—Negrroea Get Their Dues. Cincinnati, Oct. 29.—1n his speech hero last night, Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, alluded to tho reception of Hon. Jefferson Davis at Macon, as follows: Suppose that we cheered Jeff Davis, does that mean going to war again! Let us reason. Sup pose we didn't. Suppose we turned our hack on i his pale faced broken down old man. What did he uo that I haven't done. I don't think I shot anybody, hut 1 tried hard. You might ask me to t urn a cold shoulder on the wife of my t)O0( MB. She Went with me to the front. She followed me to camp, shared my dangers even to the picket, ami at times in danger of the battle, and under Providence I owe to her tender nursing that my life was spared me. Why should l hate her! If we should turn our hacks on that man, refuse him our sympathies, we should merit tne scorn of every brave man in this audienee. and you would teel an absolute contempt for us. When Jeff Davis left the United States Senate, he left it with regret and full of political honors. For our sakes he became poor and debarred forever from political honors in his own country. He lingers to-day with broken health and scarcely a place to lay his head, dragging after him the wounded Unibei with increasing suffering that followed him from Buena Vista. What would you think of me if I said’ ‘Go hence, I have no more use for you?’ I am not going to do it. I would have con tempt for Gen. Sfery on [who sat on the st* i he went back on the grand old name of Abra ham lJncoln. Put yourself in the other fellow's place. It was my fortune a few weeks ago in Philadelphia to take part in the celebration of the adoption of the constitution, and when Georgia had taken her part I was proud as I stood in the 8t reels to seethe shattered remnants of the Union's old flags, and as they were viewed by that September light, amid the shouts of teu thousand throats, I felt that the blood was pulsating iu the veins of strong and grand men, the remnants of the (hand Army of the Republic Why shouldn't it? They were con secrated to a cans** which to those gathered around them was as holy as honor and truth. I would have no faith iu home and liberty if these men do not love their old flags. So, too, we loved ours. Let us get out of tne universe when hatred of the South ie called loyalty to the North. lam going to show you that our children should love their tings A man is better who has the nerve to do justice, whatever it costs. Was there any honor in carrying these old Hags? They, too,were woven by the patriotic hands of Southern women. They were delivered to husbands, and fathers consecrated by tears and prayers. Some were rent with bullets, blackened with gunpowder, ami reddened with tlie blood of the brave. Don't we build monu ments to the Confederate dead? Why, Gen. Grant, the greatest general of the Union army, said he was willing to share in the dedication or a monument to the Confederate dead. There isn't good sense in it, and the man who tries to stir your passions does not deserve your votes. You see in some of your papers, column after column about rebel flags. This is the truth. I was there; there were in all t hat great Central (*ity of Macon, Oa., a dozen Confederate flags and 50,000 of stars and stripes and yet some people are so color blind that they could not sec any thing but rebel flags, and yet the very carriage that oore Jeff Davis, and the horses that drew him were literally covered with Union flags. The very hoiige that he was in was so covert*d with them as to almost blind him. Some speeches were made. A leader was chosen to present a memento of affection, to his wife, and the great climax of it was that the Union was rehabilitated on a firmer basis than ever. GORDON AT PORTSMOUTH. Portsmouth, 0., Oct. 29. A heavy storm of rain broke upon the city to-day. The Democratic managers had made arrangements to give Gov. Gordon a hearty reception, and notwithstanding tho in clement weather, a large audience greeted him. The General, upon being introduced, referred to the charge of being a “Ku- Klux” made by the Republican press and denied it fully, asserting that he never at any time following tho war belonged to any organization except one formed for the maintenance of law and order, and that he had at any time been a mem ber of a secret society. Ho then spoke of the charges of sentimentalism made by the Commercial Gazette and acknowledged tho impeachment. Ho argued that all men actuated by a desire to pro mote their country’s welfare wore sentimentalists. Ho then launched out on his main address by a statement, first , that he would speak only of questions affecting the people of both the North and South; and second, that ho desired to be questioned fully and freely on any point upon which the audience desired to lie informed. He then spoke of the reception of Hon. Jefferson Davis, justifying it as in his speech at Cin cinnati last night. He then referred to the subject ofConfederate flags used in the Macon demonstration, and touchingly described the love tho people felt for these war stained banners, and their desire to behold them once more at their reunions. He held that while there wore about a dozen of them unfurled, there were at least 5(1,000 national flags displayed, but that the Northern cor respondents of the partisan press were af fected with color blindness and could not see them. REFERENCES TO THE WAR. In referring to the late war tho General said that at no time had the South desired to destroy the Union, that she had furnished too much of valor, and treasure, and blood toward its formation and building to wish it destroyed, and that the war was only the outgrowth of the construction of the con stitution, which differed from that of the people of the North. Tho sections he com pared to two boys, “Johnnie” and “yank,” who fell out over a matter that could not be peaceably adjusted, and that “Johnnie” having gotten the worst of the fight, had been invited back by “Yank”; that the invi tation luid lieen accepted and “Johnnie” was back to stay. In substantiation of this be said that tho people of the Houth would not have the verdict changed if they could; that he had so expressed himself at reunions of Confederate soldiers und in other places, urul that he re-echoed the sentiment of his countrymen. ' NEGROES AT THE POLLS. The vote of his Rtate in a Presidential election he explained by stating that the colored people, finding they had been roblied by the carpet-bag element after the war, would no longer affiliate with tho Republi can party In Presidential elections, and the mass of them not caring to vote with the Democracy had simply refrained from voting at all. In temperance, the fence law and other questions of Rtate interest, he said, the full vote of both the colored and white people was cast without inter ference or restraint, and that on the latter question the coloree men had always carried tho Rtate against the financial in terests of the whites. The General spoke at some length on the condition of the colored people of the Houth, as compared with that of the years following the war, when they were governed by so-called Republicans, and showed statistics that the col ored people had increased in wealth three-fold under Democratic rule; that their educational facilities, which were paid for out of taxes collected from the white*, bad increased over one hundred and twenty fold, and that they were, as a people, pros perous, contented and fully protected in all their rights. SECTIONALISM CONDEMNED. He condemned very severely the course of certain Northern Republicans in keeping alive the feelings of sectional animosity. and charged that in such a course lay the greatest danger to our republic. He closed with an exhortation to the people of the sections to forget the passions of the jiast, and unite in a common purpose to promote the prosperity and exalt the greatness of our country. TAMPA'S INFECTION. Eighteen New Cases and Three Deaths the Record of the Day. Tampa, Fla., Oct. 29. —The yellow fever record for the past twenty-four hours is eighteen new cases and three deaths, those of B. Walsh, Joseph Morris and H. Kd munds. The two latter lived two miles in the country. There are several critical oases in the city. Father Swembergh, of Orlando, who has been only a few days in Tampa, is among the now patients.

Ken worthy’s report was more voluminous and gave a very succinct account of the state of affairs in that section.

In view of this action the Hugar Planters’ Association of this parish will meet to-morrow at noon. All the planters of tho parish are expected to be present to discuss the situation and presumably to adopt a course of proceed ing it a strike takes place.

Ho Thinks the Issue a Political One, and Should Not be Brought Into the Pul pit—He is also a Believer in the High License Plan. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29.—The latest inci dent of the prohibition campaign is the an nouncement t<>-day that Rev. Dr. H. C. Hornady, a well known Baptist minister, will opnose prohibition. Dr. Hornady has been pastor of the First Baptist church, now presided over by Dr. Hawthorne, aTtownrd of the Third Baptist church, and is lidw in the active ministry near Atlanta, with his home in this citv. Hehad engaged the opera house to address the public against prohibition to-morrow afternoon, but. has been persuaded by his friends to postpone iiis speech for the present. A POLITICAL ISSUE. lie gave to day the following as his state ment on the question: “Prohibition is. a political matter, and belongs to the govern ment of the country. It is a measure which the people will have to act upon as concern ing the welfare of the country, and as such, I contend that the ministers of God have nothing to do with it. Now, if I were a politician I would not be a Prohibitionist, tor I think high license would be the most effective. /Vs a preacher, I cannot vole to bring back bar rooms into the city, nud I will not vote the prohibition ticket, so 1 will not vote at all. a minister’s duties. “To define my position dearly I think a minister should coniine himself to tin' gos pel and do all he can against drunks nss by preaching against and not by taking part iu political measures. lam a temper ance man and have fought under that ban ner tor several years. In Carrrol Iton we drove wbisky out by converting the drunk ards and the saloon keepers. When you stop a man drinking by putting the grace of God in his heart he is pretty apt to stay sober. It is a surer remedy than legislating against it. If the politicians think it will better the country in a commercial sense, i have no objection, let them vote it out. Probably the best thing after all to do with liquor is to put it in the drug stores along with other poisons. ” Dr. Hornady’s attitude on prohibition is tlie subject of considerable comment. a hot fight. The city is rapidly becoming abaorhed in the prohibition contest. It seems to be a fight into which everybody is going—men, women and children —without regal'd to color or previous condition. Both sides are becoming organized and clubs are the order of the day. The ladies of every church have organized and they have cruised the colored women to organize. It is also proposed to organize an army of childreu. load them with badges and banners, and train them to sing prohibition songs, so as to strike terror into the hearts of the antis. It is stated thut Ham Jones has gone to Topeka, and will not return in time to taka part in the contest, as had been expected. It is evident that until the dav of election the city is to be given up to this fight day and night. THE GEORGIA MILITIA. It is generally regretted by military men, and all interested in the improvement or the volunteer service of Georgia, that the Legislature adjourned without, making any effort to advance its efficiency, or without making an appropriation for its equipment or maintenance. Georgia’s share of the government appropriation is now expended, and has nothing to draw from that source till next July, with constant requisitions on the Adjutant General for equipment. The Adjutant General will in a few days send out an order for the annual inspection of the companies, wuich has been delayed much later thau last year. Another item of interest in this connection is that the Adju tant, General, acting under the Legislative resolution, designs, as soon as practicable, to liegin forming all unattached companies into battalions. He estimates the number of new battalions at nine. This will not in any way affect the First regiment at Savan nah, which is now the only regiment in the Ntate. There is a probability, the News’ correspondent understands, that a second regiment will be organized in Macon. ADJUDGED A LUNATIC. Jesse Godwin one of the oldest citizens in Fulton comity, was to-day adjudged a luna tic, and will be sent to the asylum Monday. He has succumbed to old ago and ill health.

He said the number of distilleries had doubled in the two years with a propoS* tionato increase in capacity. The govern ment’s receipts from the whisky tax in creased $<12,000 last year. • THE POLICE. The Police Commission to-night in order to run out all the private detectives, passed a resolution to ask the City Council to pass an ordinance to prohibit any privato detec tive association from transacting business in Atlanta. A report recently sent out that a police officer in trying to arrest a negro who had a bottle of whisky shot him because he ran has been investigated by directors of the commission and to-night they pronounced it without foundation. Officer Hadley was dismissed from the force for drunkenness. He has been on a spree for several days and is reported to have marie a terror of himself. His pistol has not been surrendered.
