Washington, ^April 21.—The light house board has called ou Anderson and Barr, contractors for the construction of a lightjitrase «n Hatteras shoals for a formal acknowledgment of their aban donment of that contract in order that ■V^UiCt may be made of official record. These contractors lost about $80,000 in trying to make a foundation for the' structure, bat have not demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the board, that the project is impossible. Captain Ma hon engineerer and secretary of the board, is of the opinion, however, that it will take nearly $3,000,000 to estab lish a lighthouse on the shoals in ques tion. ' The best opin ion here is that the third party will be a thing of the past within a month. A sort of sque’l that looks very dark when making its first appearance, but which passes over without damage. AFFAIRS POLITICAL. The Harmony Grove meeting Wed nesday night was a great success.

Washington. April 21.—The New York delegation of colored men sent to \V ashington to memorialize the presi dent iu regard to the outrages perpe- trated upon ike negroes of the south, arrived at 8 o’clock, aud were entertain ed at breakfast by Frederick Doaglast and William E. Matthews. The delegation was introduced to President Harrison at 10 o’clock by tbi Hon. John R. Lynch, the fourth auditoi of the treasury. Dr. William B. Derrick of New York city, stated the purpose of the delega tiou to the president and presented res olutions which were adopted at the re cent mass meeting at Cooper anion. In his reply President Harrison ex plained just how far he conld exercise his authority under the coustitution, stating very clearly the difference be tween state and Federal authority in regard to crimes committed in any par ticular state. The New Orleans lynch ing matter was taken as an example. Mr. Harrison advised the delegation to collect in detail facts concerning the lynchings iu the south for a year and present them to him and to the public press, and said that upon these facts ho would assist as far as he could in cre ating a public sentiment against the lawless methods of punishment of FOUR MURDERERS LYNCHED. And the Officers Hunting for two More Who Will Meet the Same Fate. Jacksonville, FJa., April 2«.—An Inverness special to the Times-Union says four negroes were barged there late list night for the murder of Ste venson and Payne. Their names are Jerry Williams, Albert Robinson, Bill Williams and George Davis. About midnighta strong body of armed and masked men surrounded the jail and overpowered Deputy Sheriff Colts. They took out three prison! rs and hang them to trees near by. Before they were swung into eternity these three made confessions and implicated a fourth. Then this one was secured and banged about 2 o’clock this morn ing. The confession did not implicate the two remaining two in jail, though it did implicate two negroes yet at larg.y and for whose capture no Btone will be left unturned. The same late awaits them that overtook their guilty ac complices. Ooe of them in jail is named John Jtcobb>,an Ocala negro, who is wanted there for larceny. Rumor says that several of last night’s lynching party were from 0.*a's, where a good deal of indignation was felt at the time of the murder, the victims hnvirg been well-known there.. ’! he father t-f George Davis one of the men lynched— was arrested about nine years ago in Ocala for being implicated, in the Brooksville murder.

Everett, of the Seventh district of'Georgia, writes the following letter to Hon. D F. L, Pea cock, of Dooly county, in reply to a let ter npon the political situation: Dear Sir and Brother—Would to God had time to reply to yours of the 30th ult., as fullyjand.freely as it deserves. The conditions’thai confront the South tfcdiy, aud especially that poition of the South known a3 the “black bel’,” are alarming. It required years of suffering humil iation and determined united Democra tic effort to throw effi the disgraceful carpet-bag misrule' that tyrannized over our loved Southland immediately after the late war. The overwhelming Republican majority of the last nation al House of representatives, believing that their acts of oppression would work a revolution in the politi cal make-up of the succeeding House of Representatives, undertook to fortify their hold on power by re-enacting that damnable infamy known as the Force bill. While such legislation would have affected the South principally, yet in view of the enormity c-f the crime, and of the tyrannical character of the legislation, the Damocracy of the whole tuntry,' North, South, East and West, as one man, came to oar relief, and with locked shields and determined heart', in solid phalanx, threw themselves against the tyrant, sand secured for the South autonomy that l trust shall be as lasting as time itself. Can the Caucasians of the South af ford to divide their strength when con fronted by two or three or five times their number of an inferior race, under whose domination our arch enemy are trying to place us for purely partisan purposes? To ask the question is to answer it From the standpoint of a legislator and patriot, I can see nothing that justifies a new party. We have within tho Democratic party every ele ment of pi ace, prosperity and happi ness, that could possibly accrue from any political source. Georgia is solidly Democratic; if she cannot secure what ehe wishes through the Democratic party, when she has perfect and absolute control, how, in the name of reason, can she hope to secure it by dividingup into antagonistic factions? There 1b absolutely no hops of Georgia go ng over solidly into a Third party; hence a-division must exist. The only reason why the House of Representatives has failed to pass a free silver bill, is that the Republicans uni ted with mugwumps. The Democracy of thVSouth-and West was solid for the bill. No change of party-lihea can el ect the representati> n in the New En gland states. In no event can it be hoped that that section will go into a Third party. Hence a division in the South notonly weakens that section, out strengthens the North by reason of nore determined concert ot action. As a student of politics, I can see no possible advantage that can accrue from dividing tbe people of the pouih. You atk,“do you think it wise for the Alliance order to go into the new par ty?” I answer most emphatically, no. The Alliance i rder as such, has no ;oi.stitntionsl right to go into sny par ry. Eacb allianeeman, Whi n initiated into the order, was assured that his po litical or religious views should be in nowise interfered with; 8 "Now any ac tion of the order seeking to control the politics of its members, not only sub versive of its organic law, but is abso lutely an abrogation of the pledge and assurar.ee made to each Individual member. The Alliance, as such, can not go into politics and mhintain its in ti grity—to say nothing oi its unity. If every Congressman from the South were alliancemen, elected as % such, the recent action of the House of Represen tatives oh the silver bill could not have been different. Tbe bill was saved from defeat by your own gallant Crisp. Wbat more could an allian emau have done? In the perpetuity of Democracy in its integrity, rests tbe preservation of our peaoe, prosperity and happiness. Hastily yours, B. W. Evkbbtt. THE POLITICAL DRIFT. Augusta, Gi , April 2K—A R'ch- mond county Democratic mass meet ing was held ht 8o’clock taught for the election of deli gates to tbe state con vention, at which delegates to tbe na tional Democratic convention will be chosen. Mr. Joe R Lamar was elected permanent chairman. It was a large and enthusiastic meet ing, and the safety and success of the Democracy was considered before men. It was a ncisy meeting, with considsra- bie wrangle, bat all ended in peace. Mr. J. J. Doughty rffered an uninstruo ted ticket for delegates. He declared himsilf a Cleveland man, and when asked what was the complexion of his ticket, whether for Hill or Cleveland, he answered that he did not know, but it wvs for the safety and interest of the Democratic party. Mr. W. C. Boykin offered a ticket which was anuounc d to he a straight- out Cleveland ticket to the State con- vet tion. It was argued for the sake of harmony and the unity cf the Democracy that no instructed be legates be cho sen, so that the delegates could act wisely iu selecting aw'nningman. A vote was taken and Mr. Doughty’s ticket was elected by a vote of 120 to 106, while the Cleveland ticket was defeated. The Doughty tick et was then un n ; mously elected. Several Cleveland men announced that they voted for the uninstructed delegates. Aresolutirn was ad'pted that the meeting should not be considered a Hill victory over Cleveland. or a Cleveland victory over Hill. It is thought many of the del gates elected were absent from the meeting, and they were not awaie they were down on the lut. A resolution was adopted endorsing Comptroller General Wright’s re-elec tion, Hon. J. C. C. Black for Congress. 1 The meeting nominated Major J. C. C. Black, of Augusta, for D.mccratic nominee for congress. Some time since Mr. J. W. Womack and Prof. E. C. Branson had a personal, difficulty in Atlanta, and were brought up in Recorder’s court. Womack was fined ten dollars and costs and Branson was discharged. Then these two gentlemen went into the newspapers with their difficulty, tbe one representing tbe American Book Company, the other Ginn & Cn. Day before yesterday a warrant was sworn out in Chattooga county, charging that he had bribed the school commissioners of that county in order to introduce the books of Ginn & Co. Prof.'Branson was airested in Atlanta, released on his own recognizance and left at once for Chattooga county to stand his trial He Is Acquitted. The following telegram tells of the result: Summerville, Ga., April 22.-JSpec- ial.]—The trial of Prof. E. C. Branson came off today.
