WASH1N1CN LETIIR TOPICS AT THE NATIONAL CAP ITOL INTERESTINGLY DIS CUSSED. IL- Official Recognition Taken of Jeff ' Davis’ Death-President Harrison Go.s to Chicago on a little Trip - A Number of Congress men “in the Soup” by the Silcott Steal. : Scrgeant-at-Arms of the t a uisb Correspondence of The Banxeb. Washington, December 8,1889.—An ex-Cabinet Minister lay dead today, and yet no recognition was taken of the met by the Government officers in Washington. The flag that floats from the roof of the War Department blew out straight from the top of the 3taff this morning. The telegraph had in formed the officers of the department that Jefferson Davis, ex-Secretary of War, was dead, but no order was issued in regard to the event. This is the first time in the history of the Government that the death of any one who was once at the bead of an executive de partment was left unnoticed. When a few days ago news came to Washington that the ex-President of the Southern Confederacy was likely to die, an in formal consultation was held, and it was then decided that it was not the duty of the Government to even reeog- nize the fact that Mr. Davis ever lived. The War Department officials were, therefore, not In doubt this morning about their course of action when the news came of the death rf the ex-Secre tary of War Mr. Davis had never had his disabilities removed, and conse quently was not a citizen of the United States atthe time of his death. Sccre- ary Proctor, when asked this morning liy the War Department flag was not at half mast, said: “Officially we do not know that Mr. Davis is dead. We know no -such man. It is better to forget such tilings, to let qcm jpass awayfrom our minds.” It is quite probable, however, that had Mr. Davis been what is known as “areconstructed rebel” and a legal citizen of the United States, the War department would not have neglected to take recognition of the fact that lie wa3 dead. Secretary Proctor, no doubt, remembers the cry of indignation that went up from the ranks of he Republi can party, and especially from the members of the Grand Army of the Re public, a few years ago, when the then Secretary of the Inteiior, Mr. Lamar, following the time-honored custom, or dered the lowering of the department flag to half mast as a mark of respect to the memory of Jacob Thompson, an ex-Secretary of the Interior, on the day that he died. Ou Feb. 1*2,1878, George W. McCreary, then Secretary of War, ordered the closing of the depart ment, the lowering of the flag, and the draping of the building on the day of the funeral of ex-Secretary Conrad of Louisiana, the immediate predecessor of Mr. Davis in the War Office. Conad wasa confederate during the war. but his dssabilities had been removed. This or der was issued, however, after the fun eral, about which there was a misunder- thpro teas ngrtiHigSwit. No official recognition of any kind was taken of Mr. Davis i death in Wash ington today. The Mississippi delega tion in Congress met informally, and passed resolutions to the memory of Mr. Davis, but that was all. His death has been expected for several days, so that it did not come as a surprise, and the news created but little more than ordinary interest. It revived stories of the South, and war stories, and stories of the reconstruction period, and the many men who knew Mr. Davis well in Washington and elswhere are rush ing into print w ith reminiscences of his life and times. Little has been brought out, however, that adds anything new to the history of the leader of the Southern Confederacy. For the past day or two Congress has been polled on the subject of removing voluntarily the political 'disabilities of Mr. Davis, in view of the fact that his death was about to occur. The almost unanimous opinion of the members was that it was best to let well enough alone. V A resolution was agreed to at the cau cus of the Republican members of the House last Saturday that has never yet been made public. This resolution pro vided that in the distribution of the House patronage, the officers who con trol it should be careful to divide the honors among the citizens of those States which have Republican members in their delegations. This means that that the new officials are prohibited from appointing any man who bails from a State that has no Republican in its delegation. Door-keeper Adams, Sergeanc-at-Arms Holmes, Clerk Mc Pherson, and Postmaster Wheat, have thus had their unpleasant duties some what simplified, and are now endeavor ing to divide, as equally as the unfortu nate members will allow them, nearly 200 offices among 1,000 or 1,200 appli cants. Comparatively few of these places are desirable enough to tempt men of good health and intelligence to apply for them. A large majority are mere clerkships, door-keepers, assist ants of various kinds, and pages. Un der the caucus resolution, no citizen of the State of Alabama, Arkansas, Flori da, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, or the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, need apply for a position in the House of-Representatives, for the offi cials cannot give it to them if they wanted to. The new officials are busily engaged in endeavoring to divide the offices among the applicants from the thirty-three eligible States, They have an awful task upon their hands, because every member has half a dozen candi dates. For the more desirable places the pressure is still greater, and when spoken to about the matter the Doorkeeper, the Sergeaiit-at-Arms, the Clerk, and/the postmaster all express ed the wisli that they had never been elected. They don’t mean this, how ever, because they always come for ward for re-election. *** The committee investigating the ac counts of the defaulting cashier of the House, after a long secret session today, came out with their report and blasted the few remaining hopes of the money less Congressmen. The committee reached the only conclusion possible. It found that t House was not a disbursing officer of the Government, and that the members entrusted him with their certificates of salarv at their own risk. The govern ment could not recover on either Sill- cott’sor Leedom’sbond, for the reason that their bonds were simply security for Government property, and the money stolen was not that of the Gov ernment, but of the individual mem bers, who will each have to separately look for reimbursement to Mr. Leedom, personally and unofficially. There is some talk of a resolution to appropriate anew the money, with which to pay salaries, but a very lively recollection is entertained of the fate of the mem bers who voted for the back-salary grab, and the chances are that the Con gressmen will have to grin and bear their losses. These members, whose names were priuted as having used the office as a bank to their pecunary loss, are hopping mad aud are indignantly denying that they had any money on deposit. The most vigorous of these members is Boutelle of Maine. **• A somewhat novel proposition is about to he made in Congress, as a sub stitute for the one that comes up every year and each time is deflated, to give every Representative in Congress a clerk at the Government expense. The members ail agree that they need clerks badly, and that it is only right that the Government should pay for them, but they always refuse to vote as they think for fear of the wrath of their constitu ents. It is to be proposed, however, that the Government shall rent two phonographs for each of the 325 mem bers, one of them to be kept at the mem ber’s residence and the other at the Capitol. Tha plan is to have the mem bers tell all their correspondence into }lie machine, and have the cylinders unloaded at the phonograph headquar ters, the bills to be paid by the Govern ment. The projectors of this scheme think that the members would be more ready to vote for this method of assis tance than they would for live secreta ries, for the reason that the expense to the Government would be much less. The phonograph company is decidedly in favor of the new plan. * * * A bill introdueeu by Senator Ed munds yesterday, in regard to the re moval of cases from State to Federal courts, makes some rather important modifications in the existing practice It broadens the existiug ''laws with ref erence to cases which may be removed from State to Federal courts from being confined to revenue laws and civil rights cases, so as to include all cases in which a defence is set up justifying the aet of any person under the laws of the United States. V The President and party left here for Chicago at 3:30 p. m. yesterday, and expect to arrive in Indianapolis to morrow at noon. They will remain there until midnight of Sunday, and then proceed to Chicago. The Presi dent will return to Washington on a special train by way of Indianapolis, bringing his daughter, Mrs. McKee, and her children with him for a winter’s visit to the White House. He will leave Indianapolis on Tuesday morning, reaching here on Wednesday morning in time to attend the Congressional Centennial celebration at the Capitol at noon. — At the last moment Mrs. Harrison de cided not to accompany the President, owing to the condition of her sister, Mrs. Seott-Lord, who is seriously ill at her home in this city. C. S. N. TURNER RIGHT- Sheriff Endorses His Sentiments that Appeared tn Constitution. In Sunday’s Constitution Mr. Turner, the guard who carries prisoners sen tenced to the penitentiary from the different jails in the State, gives a hor rible account of how the different jails in our State are kept. -In conversation with a sheriff of one of. our neighboring counties he says that Mr. Turner’s ac count is nOt overdrawn, and that while the jail in his county is perfectly secure and the prisoners can expect nothing from the outside, yet it is not ventilable and not a breath of fresh air can get to the prisoners. He says that it is the fault of those who built the jail, and whilst he does everything in his power to alleviate the sufferings of those in side, yet it is impossible for them to stand it long at the time. The Athens jail, he said, was differently situated, and has plenty of ventilation, and was kept in good condition. We know of our own knowledge that our efficient sheriff keeps the Clarke county jail in good condition and the prisoners are treated as well as they can be. The grand juries of each county in the State could get some good advice from Mr. Turner’s interview and profit by it. THE <4;. i\ & N. THE IRON IS BEING DISTRIBUTED ALONG THE LINE. THE FUND GROWS.

Weatherly PaueM Over the Hirer to Join the Great Majority. On Sunday last the large cirele of friends of Mr. W. S. Weatherly, were thrown into gloom and sorrow ovar the death of this excellent old citizen. Mr. Weatherly had been failing grad ually for some weeks and has not been very well for a long time. He was an aged man, and as disease and old age go apace, his death was not altogether un expected. M[. Weatherly was one of the oldest citizens of Athens, and has been a most valuable one in his better days. He is father to the young men who compose the Ann Weatberly Bios.,and was father of Mrr. II. R. Bernard of this city. He had a large number of friends and rela tives in Athens aud this seetiou of the State'to mourn his death. Tiie funeral of Mr. Weatherly took place from the family residence yester day afternoon aud the remains were carried to their last resting place in Oconee cemetery. A great many.friends and relatives were in attendance'und the services were conducted in a solemn and impx-essive manner. MAYSVILLE ITEMS- News from the Gallant little City np the North Eastern.

Our Early History.—Mrs. H. S. Barclay, the mother of Mr. W. DeR. Barclay, of the University Law class, is writing an interesting series of his torical sketches for the Darien Timber Gazette. In the last letter which she writes that paper she reviews the colo nial history of Georgia, and in so doing refers as follows to the foundation of the State University and the origin of Athens: In 1800 Athens was finally chosen as the site of the State Univer sity and Professor Joseph Meigs was made the first president. After some trouble part of the seven hundred acres, given bv John Milledge, the governor, to the University, was sold and the city of Athens built upon it. Mr. Lawton B. Evans, says in his history of Georgia that in 1801 Fianklin College was opened and Mr. Josiah Meigs, from Yale college, called to the presidency, atAthens. A Large Farm.—A number of Ath enians spent Sunday on the mammoth farm of Col. Jas. M. Smith, Oglethorpe’s greatest farmer. Col. Smith has a£beau- tiful farm, and is making more money than any planterin Georgia, we haven’t a doubt' He is also winning nuite a name as a railroad builder, and when he has completed his line to Augusta his reputation as such will exceed any other in the State.

X Humor Hint Ouo Thousand Tons will Be Mauled to Athena at Once— Ti»e Wonderful Fro&resa of the Road, THE FU$D STARTED THE COMMUTE MEETS WITH MUCH SUCCESS. The G., C. & N. Is still a humming! Recent rumors indicate a rapidity of construction that surpasses any tiling in the history of railroad building. There was a rumor afloat on the streets yesterday to the effect that the Covington and Macon Railroad had closed a contract to haul one thousand tons of iron to Athens for the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad aud that the work would begin at once.’ This*goes to show that the managers of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad are pushing the work along with steadiness and rapidity. They are having the grading rushed along as fast as possible through the valleys of Carolina to the Savannah river and will soon reinforce their supply of hands to three thousand men, so we have been informed by one of the civil engineers. The grading forces will then be divided and one set will be placed between Athens aud the Savannah river. Tne grading will be pushed through to Athens with all the vigor that the man agers of the road can put behind it, and it is predicted that they will reach Athens by next spring. The force of graders will be followed closely by the laying of the rails and soon after the grading is completed the road will be complete and ready for the rolling stock. The fact is that the Georgia, Carolina and Northern will within a year be a thorough and complete railroad with a regular schedule of trains passing throuugh Athens daily, and will be de velop g one of the richest, sections of country to be found in this part of the South. Athens wants the G. C,& N. badly, aud the sooner it is built, the better for our city’s future. There is a crisis con fronting Athens at this period that "de mands a speedy development. We need the G., C. & N. to meet that crisis. The fact that Athens has lately taken on such a mammoth growth ;thatit has assumed the proportions of the greatest cotton market in this part of the South, and has one of the largest wholesale and retail.trades of any (Georgia city has placed Athens in a* state of maturity for the building of some great trunk line, and the G., C. & N. is the line that was most needed.^ When the road is completed to Ath ens, the city will atjonce move off with increased life and with renewed energy. The establishment of the machine shops of this ro d ia Athens which is now re garded as a certainty, means a great d -al for the city. This enterprise will not oniy give employment to about one thousand hands, but will tend to cen ter all the business of the G., C. & N. m Athens. North East Georgia certain ly lias a bonanza in the G., C. & N. and tiie people all along the line in the three states ore rejoicing . at U.ie rapid progress of tiie construction. Let Athenians encourage in every way the G., C. & N. and let ho hostile faction rise up as it draws near our prosperous city. All hail the G., C. & N ! Athens Will Do Her Share Eor lKi*. Davis’ Family—The Subscriptions Will Run to Over One Thousand Dollars in the Classic City. The committee appointed by Mayor Huunicutt night before last to solicit subscriptions to the fund that has been started for the family of Mr. Davis, went to work early yesterday morniug after reading their appointment in The Banner. They met wirh unbounded success, as everybody knew they would do, and as they themselves confidently expect ed. Not a single man turned the com mittee away from him yesterday re fusing to give anything to the gracious fund that has been so graciously raised in every city in the Southern States. The South will adopt the family of Jefferson Davis as its own, and will cherish them as its blessed heritage of the grand old statesman that will be put away today forever. Athens is willing to do its share of sustaining Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie. Our fair city considers it a pleasant privilege rather than an irksome duty to nurture the kin of Jefferson Davis, and will keep them alive so long as Providence permits. The debt that hovers over the estate of Mr. Davis must first be lifted from the lives of his fam lv. Then a future living must be granted them by the charuy of the South. The way in which the subscriptions have been raised all over the Southern is States gratifying injthe ex treme, and will do the hearts of the sor rowing family good. Athens must come up with proportionate funds, and show that our citizens have not forgotten the hospitality and cordial manners which they evinced-during the visit ofMEs Winnie to our city. But what’s the use of appealing to Athens people on such i an issue as this? The committee did good work.yester day. Headed by Judge Y. L. G. Harris who led the list with one hundred dol lars §the commit tee has encouragemt nt within itself, and l;a = *set, to work with an earnest ambition and a hearty zest. Judge Harris collected more than three hundred dollars yesterday him self aud will continue the good work to-day. JHe is always ready in the work of charitable giving, and always has tiie ear of the public in such matters, be cause of his own good example. He is the right man in the right place as chairman of tiie committee and to him nui- h of their sueeess will be due. All of the committeemen, are liberal and public spirited, and a better com mittee could really not have been found in Athens. So far they have collected more than $G00 and will continue the work until more than $1,000 has been raised. Let the committee be met with gen uine liberality by every citizen.

The ae- tior of that society, as exposed by the Journal, lias caused a great deal-of in dignation among the Baptists of Geor gia.

They place a forked stick over the snake’s head, then put a cord around it and strangle the snake. This is done to keep the snake from biting itself. The botly of the snake is then strung up and the oil extracted from it. It sells at $2 per ounce, and this industry is a very profitable one. The snakes in that section are very large, averaging five feet in length, and one rattler gives up a great deal of oil. A little negro once saw two rattlers lying close together and wanted to get the money for finding them. It was a mile to the nearest house. He was afraid the snakes would erawj off while he was gone, and so he took off liis coat and placed it between the snakes. He went off, came back, and found them still eyeing the coat.

What is going to be done with Rock College ? is a qestion quite frequently asked by visitors to our city. The question has remained unanswered for so many years that no one seems to care much whether it is allowed to crumble beneath Time’s telling stroke unmolested, or whether the State make it a piece of valuable property. An idea was advancad last year to have Rock College leased for the purpose oj: apreparatory school for the University. We would like to see this plan carried out. Why can’t the matter receive im mediate action by the State ? As it now stands Rock College is a piece of dead property on the State’s hands,and will remain so until some step like that just proposed has been taken up and carried out. TVe hope to tee the next legislature take up the matter and make some use of this valuable building that is fast going to decay, ern exchanges since our snake editor so immortalized himself wifh the article in question.

For a Fight Between Sullivan and Jackson. Buffalo, Dec. 9. —[Special.]—The Erie Couuty Athletic Club, recently organized by a number of wealthy men in this city, has decided to offer a $30,- 000 purse for a fight between Sullivan and Jackson. It is said that Sullivan has responded favorably, hut Jackson has not yet been heard from. tion of the fact that our neighboring town, Crawford, had a Sans Sauci Club as well as Athens. There was no inten tion on our part to*intimate that'Craw- ford had modeled its club after Jour own, for we knew that the club in that city was much older than the one in our city that sails under that name. But since the impression has been made in that city that such was the intent of the little squib, we hasten to correct it. The Saus Sauci Club in Crawford is on a different order from that in Athens and has existed for three years. It is a literary club and numbers its member ship among the old as well as the young people ot the town. It is a most flour ishing society and is the backbone of society in Crawford. The club gives regular monthly entertainments which partake of a literary nature. Dr. M. G. Little is president of the club and Dr. J. G. Little is vice-president. The club lias a large library and is in fact a weal thy institution, as the members are now about to erect a large building for it. The meaning of Sans Sauci as applied to the Crawford club is “without form ality.” Whether the young ladies of Athens haye [adopted this meaning for j theirs, we are not prepared to say.
