G EX.SICKLESAT ATLANTA
BE AND OSN LONGSTREET HOO
EACH OTHER AT A BANQUET.
Wild With Enthusiasm the Other
Guests Leap on the Tables end
Chairs end Burst Into a Whirlwind
of Cheers—A Bitter Feeling Against
the Visitor in Certain Quarters.
Atlanta, Ga., March 17.—Atlanta Is in
n state of unusual excitement over the visit
of Gen. Daniel Sickles, who arrived here
this afternoon. Gen. Sickles is to address a
Hill Clab mass meeting at the opera bouse
to-morrow night. He was attacked in
yesterday’s Journal as a corrupt polit.cian
and denounced as a most bitter south hater.
Quotations from speeches he was alleged to
have made were published in which be
arraigned the south In the bitterest terms
before he joined the Democratic party ten
wears ago. To-day the arraignment of Gen.
Sickles is continued by the Journal.
Public felling was greatly stirred up over
the situation, and when Gen. Sickles arrived
this afternoon he did not meet with a gen
eral welcome. As he passed through the
Kimball house rotunda he was pointed out
and discussed in very uncomplimentary
terms by the crowd gathered there. The
most undignified aud abusive language was
used in reference to him aud several per
sonal encounters were imminent, when
snore conservative citurns protested.
A DENIAL BY GEN. SICKLES.
Gen. Sickles In an interview, when shown
the articles in whioh he was denounced, de
nied that be had ever said anything against
the south, but on the contrary had always
been friendly toward the southern people.
He said the alleged quotations from his
speeches were malicious perversions
of the truth by political enemies. As to
his democracy, he said, the people of bis
own state had sufficient confidence in him
to make him chairman of the state conven
tion and send him to the Chicago conven
tion, which was a sufficient answer to that
charge. He felt keenly the bitter feeling
manifested here. All sorts of
rash talk is indulged in
by some of the hot-headed element in re
gard to Gen. Bickles’ speech to-morrow
night, and it is awaited with no little anx
iety. It is generally admitted by the Hill
•nthuslasts themselves that a blunder was
made in inviting Gen. Sickles to Atlanta.
Consequently the situation is highly inter
esting.
A THRILLING SCENE.
A thrilling scene was enacted at the St.
Patrick’s banquet given by tho Irish societies
of the oity to-night. One of the invited
E lefts was Gan. Daniel Siokles. Gen. James
ongstreet heard that Gen. Sickles was to
be in Atlanta and oame down from Gaines
ville to meet him. Gen. Sickles and Gen.
Longstreet were the fighting oominanders
at Gettysburg, and it was in Gen. Long
street’s charge that Gen. Sickles lost his
leg. The two had not met since that
memorable time, and Gen. Longstreet could
not let to-day’s opportunity pass To-night
be also attended the St. Patrtok's banquet.
He was given the seat of honor amid
great enthusiasm. Early in the evening
Gen. Sickles was called upon to speak. In
the course of his remarks he paid Gen.
Longstreet a high tribute, closing with an
eloquent and patriotic description of Gettys
burg. W hen Gen. Sickles sat down Gen.
Longstreet was called. The old war horse
of the confederacy arose, and without a
word walked around the table to where
Gen. Sickles sat. Gen. Sickles arose and
leaned upon his crutches as Gen. Longstreet
approached. Then, in silence when the
two met, they placed their arms about each
other’s necks. The simple scene was deeply
thrilling. In an instant there was
the wildest enthusiasm. Mon climbed
upon the tables regardless of glassware or
eatables and fairly shook the roof with
their cheering, while the two old veterans
hugged each other until tears ran down
their cheeks.

relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
Our fruit growers flatter themselves that
the fruit is safe so far, and the pear or
chards are now a “thing of beauty.”
Avery large crop of watermelons is being
planted again this season. The cotton acre
age has beeu considerably curtailed, possi
bly 40 per cent. Preparations for planting
corn and oats and raising hogs are being
made on every side. And this promises to
be a year of more bread and meat and less
cotton. Bo mote it be.
In the course of our political events it be
comes Brooks county’s time this year to

James N. McLean seems to be the,oboice by
a large majority. Mr. McLean is a man of
great information, and broad and liberal
views. He has always taken an honorable
part in politics.
SPALDING'S ROADS.
The County to Vote To-Day on the
Question of Issuing Bonds.
Griffin, Ga., March 17.—At the regular
session of court iu February the grand jury
reoommended in their general presentments
that the oounty issue SIO,OOO in bonds to
prosecute the work on the publio roads by
the chain-gang system. In acoordanoe with
that recommendation the board of commis
sioners have ordered an election to be held
to-morrow. The probability is that the
farmers will defeat the issuing of the bonds,
as they are almost united in their opposition
to the measure. If they do they will impose a
very heavy tax on themselves. Judge
Boynton oonvened the grand jury this
morning for the purpose of levying an extra
road tax in case the bonds were defeated,
which tax may be placed at $5 per capita on
each male between the ages of 1(5 and 60 in
the oounty. The work begun mußt go on,
•nd if the bonds are defeated this is the
ODly means of raising the necessary funds
to prosecute it.

Horsford'a Acid Phoenhats,

STILL ON FRBE WOOL.
The House Again In Committee Dis
cussing the Question.
Washington, March 17.—1n the House
this morning, on motion of Mr. Cox of Ten
nessee, the bill was passed authorizing the
St Louis and Birmingham railroad to con
struct a bridge across the Tennessee river at
Chilton. Teno.
The House then went into committee of
the whole, with Mr. Blount of Ueorgia in
the chair, on the free wool bill.
Mr. Payne of Now York entered into a
defense of the McKinley tariff set, which he
said had been the suojeot of more vicious
and venomous attacks than any legislation
enacted by any congress, and had finally,
along with iu companion bill, the Dingley
worsted act, been sustained by the highest
judicial tribunal in the world. Then he set
forth the advantages accruing to the people
from the protective tariff. He referred to
the increased production of tin and the
manufacture of tin plate.
In order to strengthen Mr. I’ayne’s argu
ment, Mr. Bowers of California said that
he would have upon his desk a tin block
made in his district whioh would weigh
fifty-six pounds.
DID IT COME FROM WALES*
Mr. Payne—And I can prove by 100 men
upon the other side that it never came from
California, but from Wales. | Laughter.]
Mr. Bowers—You do not mean that they
will prove it. but that they will say it.
[Laughter.]
Then Mr. Bowers taking his hat left the
hall and in a fe w minutes returned with his
block of tin, which he placed in triumph
upon his desk aud called the attention of
the members to it amid laughter, while Mr.
Payne went, on with his speech.
Mr. Harter of Ohio then took a hand In
the discussion, and plied Mr. Pavne with a
number of questions, of which Sir. Pay e
finally weaned, and himself assumed tho
role of interlocutor, inquiring whether the
gentleman from Ohio had vet received a
reply from Senator Hill. [Laiightor. | Sena
tor Hill did not appear to be with the geu
tleman on the tariff any more than he was
with him on tho silver question. He hoped
that the gentleman from Ohio when he
heard from Senator Hill on the silver ques
tion, would also tell that gentleman's views
ou the question of the tariff. [Laughter.]
NOT A WASTE OF TIME.
Mr. Payne was followed by Mr. Rayner of
Maryland, who opened by remarking that
it was his purpore to say that the House
ought not to be in the slightest degree re
strained by any apprehension that it was
wasting time in an attempt to reduce the
tariff and that the bills that the committee
had framed would be defeated in the Senate
even if passed by the House. He did not
believe that this would be the case if the
changes were properly formulated; but
even if it were so, he would say,
“Let us proceed in the per
formance of our duty and again announce
to the people the unshaken and steadfast
devotion of the party to the cause of tariff
reform." The day has arrived when thou
sands of our countrymen, who had been
confused, deceived and intimidated,
had become instructed and enllgh:ened
upon this issue, and had no longer any fear
as to the result of the polioy whioh as a
party the democrats were obliged to pro
mote whenever they were invested
with power that would enable them
to do so. That they would soon
possess this power he had no doubt,
and until they did obtain it, It became their
duty to take their place upon the field, ami
with the weapons of reason and truth to ad
vance upon the too, dependent not upon the
mercenaries they could hire or the recruits
that they oould draft, but upon the integrity
of their purpose and upon the volunteers
whom patriotism would direct iDto their
rank a This was not a question of policy,
said Mr. Rayner, but of principle.
Mr. Ellis of Kentucky spoke iu advocaoy
of the ponding measure. The basis of the
entire tariff, he said, was the woole i
schedule, and it was the duty of the demo
cratic House to break through this schedule
and thus cause the entire structure to tot
ter. At the conclusion of Mr. Ellis’ speech
the committee rose and the House ad
journed.
A bill was introduoed to-day in tho House
by Mr. Branch, appropriating #IOO,OOO for
the erection of a public building at Eliza
beht City, N. C.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
A Hot Fight Over the Confirmation of
Woods as Judge.
Washington, March 17.—After trans
acting some routine business, the Senate, at
12:20 o’clock to-day, on motion of Mr. Hoar,
proceeded to the transaction of executive
business. The Senate remained in secret
session from 12:20 to 4:50 o’clook, 41-iji
hours, in consideration of judicia
nominations. The Senate finally disposed
of them by confirming all of the nomina
tions, thus ending one of the most pro
tracted struggles in recent years involving
presidential nominations. Mr. Turpie’s
speech oocupled the larger part of the day’s
proceedings, aud several calls of the Senate
were neoessary in order to insure the
presence of a quorum. When the war of
words was at an end and tho roll had been
called it appeared that Judge Woods, whose
name stood first on the list aud against
whom the attack had been directed, had
been confirmed by a bare majority, the vote
standing 23 to 32. Subsequently one more
vote was added to the affirmative list, mak
ing the Vote 24 to 22. The vote was strict ly
according to party lines, with
the exception of Senator Peffer,
who voted against confirmation
with the democratic senators. Senator
Stewart was not present. IlelskuoAnto
have been opposed to Judge Woods’ confor
mation.
Following Is a list of the judioial confir

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1892.
WEARERS 0’ THE GREEN
ALL OF BAVANNAH OELBBRATED
BT. PATRICK’S DAY.
The City Decked In Green In Honor of
Ireland's Saint—The Solemn High
Mass at St. Patrick’s Church, and the
Panegyric by Vicar General Kieley
of Atlanta—The Parade of the An
cient Hibernians and the Working
man’s Association in the Morning,
and the Jasper Greens In the After
noon--The Greens Banqueted.
Ht. Patrick’s day was more generally cele
brated in Savannah yesterday than it has
been for many years. The green flag floated
in every direction and Irishmen and Irish
women and those of Irish extraction wore
oonsplcuously the shamrock or other emerald
emblem of their country. Many who are
not Irish wore the green in honor of the
day.
The service* at St. Patrick’s church in the
morning were attended by an nnusually
large.cougregation. A solemn high mass was
sung at 9 o’clook, Leonard’s mass being
rendered by a ohoir of sixteen voices under
the leadership of Mr. James Deacy. Rev.
Father Ilennessy of Brunswick was the
celebrant, Rev. Henry Schlenke of
Columbus, deacon, and Rev. Rob
Kennedy of Milledgevllle, subdeacon. Rev.
P. 11. McMahon acted as master of cere
monies aud Revs. William Quinlan and M.
T. Reilly oocupied seats in the sanctuary.
The altars were magnificently decorated,
the main altar being a mass of small pottel
plants, palms and cut flowers, interspersed
with* clustered candelabra. The statue of
St. Patrick, to the right of the main altar,
was also decorated handsomely with flowers
and greens. The crozier was wound around
with smilax and lilies, and a cluster of
lighted wax candles in front illuminated the
scene quite effectively. Each altar was
highly illuminated with candles and the
sanctuary, with its green decorations, aud
the rich vestments of the priests made a
picture to be remembered.
FATHER Kilt LEY’S PANEGYRIC.
Vicar General Kieley of Atlanta preached
tho sermon. Father Kieley is a finished
orator and he handled his subject in a
masterly and skilled manner. It was on
the historical order, snowing the great
growth of the Catholic church iu America
sinca its discovery by Columbus, its strides
all over the globe, and the work done in the
cause of Christianity by St Patriok, who
alone converted au entire nation. Father
Kieley spoke as follows:
Quite rooently a letter has appeared, written
by the highest eccleaia-itical dignitary of the
Catholic cuurch in these United States, in which
tho bishops of our couutry are invited to cele
brate, in becoming manner, Oct. IS of this
year, on which day will occur the 400th anni
versary of the discovery of America by Christo
pher Columbus We need not be surprised at
tin- spectacle of the Catholic church teaking to
fittingly commemorate this day. It were
proper that we Catholics of the Uuited States
should hold in everlasting gratitude the name
and fame of the loyal Cat hollo navigator from
Spam, because in tile providenc i of a merciful
God, the land which Ins genius discovered has
become not merely a home for our exiled
breturen in the faith, but also a soil where the
outsido world in ama/.e cent recognizes that
the greatest progress of the Catholic church is
found side by side with the greatest advance in
human freedom. For iu the little more than a
century of our national existence there has been
a marvelous increase in our church, and while
the world wonders at oar miraculous progress
yesterday n child anil 10-uay a giaut—still
more marvelous has been tho growth of the
spiritual edifice of tho Catholic church.
A MOHS POTENT REASON,
But a more potent reason prevails with the
faithful obildrtui of the church in rejoicing in
the opportunity afforded us of commemorating
the glorious achievements of the grand Genoese.
It was no thirst Tor reputation as a discoverer;
it was no dream of bou idle.ss ambition as prob
able ruler of mighty dominions; it was no mer
cenary desire for treasure—no one of tbese, nor
all combined fired the purpose and animated
the breast of Colupibus as tie stood on the deck
of the Santa Maria on Friday, Aug. 8, 1498, in
the port of Palos—but it was such a hope as
spurred on the martyr and confessor of the
oldea days, that God s name might be carried
t > lands that knew bim not, and Che blessed tid
ings of salvation as proclaimed in and through
the Catholic church might ha ma le known to
them who dwell across the seas. And the
countless blessings enjoyed by us here in this
free laud may be traced back to the tiny begin
ning on that line August day. But If such feel
ings naturally find a place in our hearts, assured
ly for reasons stronger still, and more deeply
rooted have we cause and abundant reason for
meeting in our churches to day to pay a tribute
of gratitude aud filial love to the one whose
memory Is enshrined in our hearts.
AN UNIVERSAL DAY.
For not alone here in America, but in every
land whose lil>crties have been jeopardized or
where oppression has crushed, or sought to
crush national existence, there tho children of
Ireland, unable to succor the-r own land, nave
nobly sought to help others. In every land
whose laws afford a safeguard and whose shores
a home to these exiled children, there and
everywhere, circling around the big earth to
day, mingling with the solemn chants of mother
church- in all the babbling tongues of men—
there is heard a chorus of voices raised in praise
of God, whose bountiful love has brought us
a!l to celebrate the 1400th anniversary of St.
Patrick. For a thousand years bet ore Colum
bus gave to the church anew field for her
apostolic labors, the saint of to day brought to
Christ's feet a whole nation, whose conversion
has been an anomaly in the history of the res
cue of the wot Id—for no martyr's crown graces
the brow of our saint. We may safely
challenge comparison, too, in the universality
of this celebration. Tho world is a great hero
worshiper. She venerates the memory while
she perpetuates the spirit of her military heroes
in stately marble or more enduring bronze; her
poet’s songs are sung by each succeeding gen
eration, and patriotism or piety find comfort or
resolve in verse; her law-givers, 'tis true, have
wielJed an influence which lias made nations
grateful for blessings of liberty and peace;
but neither commander nor statesman, poet
nor jurist, finds such universal acceptance
of favorable verdict, nor do their names exert
such influence or call forth such enthusiasm on
every side as tho name aud memory or St.
Patrick.
It is an anomaly in this world’s story tlyit for
1,400 years one man has left such ineffaceable
impress on his people.
IRELAND’S GREAT SAINT.
Father Kieley went through the history of
St. Patrick’s life from the time of his
slavery to his death, painting an elegant
word picture of the work he performed iti
behalf of the church and the visions of his
country’s trials aud sorrows which probably’
came to the saint in his dying moments.
*‘ln our home land across the soa,” said
Father Kieley, “where Patrick labored and
died, and where his memory is kept to-dny
as our fathers in days of old kept it,
wo may not point, as others do, to majestic
temples yet stauding, or grand old monas
teries which have stood the shoik of time.
Ireland Is a laud of ruined old churches, and
the bare walls ot dismantled monasteries
tell a mournful story. But we point to the
people as monuments of Patrick’s mission.
It is bard for us when they throw in our
faces our ignorance when they burned our
schools aud exiled or put to death our
teachers. Bit Iroiand, lute the Roman’ na
tion of old, ciyn point to her taitbful chil
dren, and with pride hail them as her
brightest an 1 dearest aud most treasured
jewels. She suffered more for her fidelity
to faith than any ol her sisters. VVith her
more than with auy of them have devotion
to faith and ho me gone hand in hand.”
Father Kieley closed his sermon with an
eloquent ]ieroration on the communion of
saints, in the galaxy of which St. Patrick
stands out with peculiar luster as an apostle
of a people who have held their faith
despite the cruelties and tyrannies practiced
upon them to turn them away.
Nt. Patrick’s Total Abstinouco Benevolent
Society and St Patrick’s Cadets occupied
the middle aisle dur ng the mars, and after
ward had a collation in the basemeut of
the church.
Parade of the Socletiae.
At 10 o'clock the Workingmen's Benevo
lent Association, 1100 strong, under President
Keei.au aud accompanied by Mlddletou’s
cornet baud, joined Division No. I, A. ().
li, *>venty strong, at tha Kuigbt* of
Pythias hall, and begsu the street parade.
The Ancient Order was accompanied by the
regimental band. The line of march was
through Barnard to Broughton, up Brough
ton to East Broad, to Bar. to West Broad,
to Liberty, to Drayton, to Bay, where the
Workingmen's association disbonded. The
Ancient i )rder of Hibernians then marched
back to the Catholic Library Aaociation
ball, where their annual collation was
served.
Ths tables were formed in the shape of a
horseshoe and were laden with all the good
things of the season. Speeches were made
bv President P. J. O’Connor, Vice President
M. J. Knox, Joseph Butler of Lawrence,
Mass., Mr. Sweeney of Charleston, D.
Charlton, John F. Crohan, Prof. M. A.
O’Brien, Frank J. Walsh and others.
Numerous songs of the glories of the old
isle were sung by the members, and for
three hours a most enjoyable time was
spent.
THE GB3KNS’ PARADE.
A Big Turnout of Savannah's Irish
Military.
Tho parade of the Irish Jasper Greens
was one of the events of the day, and proved
quite an enjoyable one to the soldiers.
The corps met at the armory at 3 o’clock
and the parade began half an hour later.
Capt. Flannery was In command with
Sergts. McUrath %nd Gleason. There were
sixty-seven in ranks, and the parade was
an imposing one. lhe march was:
Down Abercorn street to Gaston, on
Gaston to Drayton, to Liberty, to
Eist Broad, to Broughton, to Abercorn, to
bay, to Bull, to Broughton to West Broad,
to Liberty, to Bull and thence to the Jasper
monument iu Madison square, where the
regular salute of throe rounds was fired.
The return march was then taken up to the
armory by Bull, Gaston, Drayton, Hail and
Abercorn streets.
This was the first street parade of the
Greens under the new drill regulations, and
included the formation of street columns
and squares. The movements require a
large coqapauy or a battalion t) perform,
and were splendidly executed.
Toe Greens were met at the armory by a
number of veteran and ununiformed mem
bers. After the parade was dismissed the
corps took the cars, woich were in waiting
for them, to Bryan street, where a collation
was served at Sullivan’s cafe. It was a com
plimentary affair, tendered by Mr. J. J.
Sullivan, an exempt member of the corps,
and proved a most enjoyable treat. There
were nearly 100 members and friends of the
corps present and seated at the tables, be
sides several lady spectators.
The supper room was h indsomely decor
ated, flags of all nations being draped from
the ceiling and upon ths walls; the star
spangled banner and the harp of Erin occu
pied the most prominent places. Potted
plants and flowers were distributed about
the room and upon tho tables. Handsome
nosegays were laid at each plate.
Capt. Flannery presided at the bead of
the tatilo and was muster of ceremonies.
There were calls for Sullivan immediately
upon the opening of the teas, and the blush
ing host responded in his maiden effort in
the field of oratory. Mr. Sullivan said:
It is with sincere pleasure that I greet you and
welcome you as my guest this e oiling. The
Bcutiments associated with this day that we
celebrate iu memory of our patron saint lend a
peculiar pleasure to the coming together of all
true sons of Erin.
True to the nature of every Irishman to give
vent to his patriotism iu libations around the
convivial board as well as in valorious deeds, I
oiler in a modest way that which cheers the
spirit after the fatigues of the march and the
duties of the day. Aud relying upon your con
viction that the larger your patriotism the more
largely will you partake of my humble repast.
1 Invite you, fellow soldiers, to charge the
stronghold aud capture the spoils.
The speech was greeted with applause and
the invitation accepted with a will. It was
an elegant feast that had beeu preparod for
the occasion with substantiate and delicacies
in abundance. Claret and champagne
punch and wines were served freely.
When the feast bad been successfully at
tacked aud demolished ;and the cigars passed
speeches and songs were in order. The
host introduced A. S. Way, Esq., who de.
liverud an address as eloquent os it was
brief. Mr. Way said:
Though many of you have beeu born under
an alien sky, and though all of you are de
scendants of an oppressed people, yet you may
clasp to your hearts with a reverential love the
verified truth that in every land where the for
lorn fugitive from the Emerald Isle has placed
his foot he has left the impression of his
genius, and, by his patriotism, las added new
luster to the shining light of liberty. Even in
this land of brave men. it was reserved for one
of the sons of old Ireland to exemplify his love
of liberty in these valorous deeds that have
called forth the encomiums and praises of a
generous people during 100 years, aud has
caused his name and image to be marked and
molded in living marble and enduring bronze
the image and the name of Jasper.
It was with that shining light before you and
a wish to perpetuate his name and emulate his
virtues that this organization was formed. And,
may it never let trail in the dust that banner
of truth, of justice and of liberty that Jasper
died to save.
Sergt. Leonard was called on for a song
and gave “The Irishman's Toast.” Private
Price sang a sentimental song.
Mr. John F. Harty recited “The Man of
the Musket,” which was much applauded.
IVivate Gallagher brought down the
house with “McSorley’s Twins.”

WORKING PEOPLE
Are often In that most wretched state of
being, really too sick to work, bat so sit
uated that they cannot afford to lose the
tune It requires to take inalicine and get
well. Less of time means loss of money.
Medicine is needed to invigorate, rezu
late and tone the system. But many
medicines make half-sick people wholly
sick, and time and money are lost In get
ting well after taking them.
The liver is the cause of nearly all bod
fly ailments, such as
Dyspepsia, Constipatioij, Headache,
Sour Stomach, Biliousness,
Colic, Low Spirits, Kidney Affections
And a medicine like Simmons Liver Reg
ulator, that will remove and cure these
disorders without causing loss of time,
and strengthen and build up the worn -
out body even while the person is at
work is oertainly a boon to working peo
ple.
