Bautow county is very indignant, and
justly so too, that the exposition pre
mium for the best mineral display should
have gone to Floyd and they now pro
pose to have a kind of private exposi
tion of their own. That is, they intend
getting good specimens of their minerals
and other things and artistically arrange
them in a large room in Cartersville.
The idea is a good one and-will bring
capital to Bartow, our sister county,
whose mineral richness is known far and
wide. The richest mineral, timber and
agricultural counties in the state are
Cherokee and Bartow, and too, their
water powers are simply inexhaustible
and put into proper use can turn thous
ands of wheels, spindles, etc. No matter
what others may say Bartow and Chero
kee have intrinsic merit and the “truck
itself which will tell every time where
the Ix-st section of (ieorgia is located,
ami experts readily recognize this fact.
But Floyd, too, is in North (ieorgia,
and is a rich and prosperous county.—

u hull column of its. Saturday's issue in
‘denying lit** allegation (but Bartow's
j miner.-rfs composed fo n great extent
j Floyd's prize mineral exhibit nt the
J late Piisltyonl expc.sition. This nllega
j gat it n is made by several parties in this
eonnly—men who know what a piece of
mineral is—and it wusupon their positive
assert ions that thet 'or it ant-A me me an did
so state it. These gentlemen, di.-qstsed to
be peaeeable and allow oar Floyd friends
to have it theirowii way,are neverlltel<*ss
ready to substantiate their assertions
when the proper demand is made. The
question though probably of no great
importance (for the prospectors hunting
for minerals are going to the beds where
the samples came from, it makes no
difference where the county line or lines
may be drawn) cannot help our section J
by being bitterly discussed. Our people ;
are bearing their defeat with enmmenda
ble fortitude, knowing full well that while
other counties may have the "reputa-
tion," they've got the minerals. Our
Homan friends worked hard for their
honors, in and out of season, and their
zeal is highly commendable. They are
great friends of Bartow county. They
ought to be. Every few days a Roman
or so invests in ourlands—mineral lands.
The “formations’' in Bartow are proba
bly better known by Rome land—mineral
land —hunters than anybody. We admire
their judgment, for there is nothing bet
ter than Bartow land—mineral land.
The Tribune aptly says: “We cannot
afford to do without Bartow,” or words
to that effect. Right ye are. You need
our mineral lands to back up your mag
nificent mineral exhibit. Good, sensible
young man, with a happy knack of know
ing on which side your bread is buttered,
you bet. Old Bartow's a howler, espe
cially on minerals, and it is good when
any other county or section ties on to
her. Birmingham and Chattanooga tied
on to her minerals some time ago; in
fact, tin 1 three mineral cities are linked
together with cars of fine iron and man
ganese. Have you ever heard of any
great amount of mineral going out of
Floyd? Has Birmingham or Chatta
nooga tied on to the mineral wealth of
Floyd or the City of Seven Hills? Oris
it that the town is simply acting as a
coupling-pin between the three great
steel making centres? She should be
happy in this respect to say the least.
W e admire our Roman friends a great
deal, wish we had a few of them over here
to whoop things up. They’re hustlers,
so to speak, and they know how to keep
hustling—behind the scenes with a basket
of champagne. The\ deserve all they
got, notwithstanding the cost. They’ve
made enough money on Bartow cotton
to pay for almost anything.
No, we will not discuss.the matter fur
ther —its too troublesome. AYe haven't
got the time; either Floyd or Bartow
county. Time's precious and we're on
the eve of a great boom for the latter
and it boomlet for the former. Then, too,
we haven’t got time toliunt up the many
dates for t he months prior to the opening
of the exposition, when land—mineral
land—hunters called at our livery sta
bles for vehicles. Then, too, the express
agent at this place is too tired to hunt
up the shipping dates before the exposi
tion when “boxes of minerals” left our
bed and board and took up with Floyd.
No, we haven't time to discuss, for t his
will be done by prospectors after fine
ores. We'll give a whoop for the great
Northwest Georgia Roman fair that is
proposed to be held, and *to which, we tire
all so cordially invited. Ah, ye, “Shaeob
and Levi,” we’ll be there. Just give us
proper credit for the mineral specimens
you already have and the balance of the
exhibit will be along in due time.
lit the meantime, let's ground arms and
keep our shirts on,for we're even. You've
got the “reputation” and we’ve the
minerals.
The Anarchists Doomed.
On to-morrow, the sentence of the
state courts of Illinois in the cases of the
Chicago anarchists will be executed, and
seven men will expiate one of the most
shocking crimes and foulest eousperaoiee
of t he age.
The cases were carried to the Supreme
Court of the Knifed States by writ of
error. The anarchists were represented
by able counsel, and every point raised
was fully argued. The opinion of the
court was long, and carefully prepared.
The decision was pronounced by Chief.
Justice Waite, and occupied thirty-five
minutes,in reading it. The writ of error
prayed for was denied. The court held
in brief:
t. That, the first ten amendments to
the constitution are limitations upon
the federal and not upon the State action.
2. That the jury law of Illinois is
upon its face valid and constitutional,
and that it is similar in its provisions to
the statute of Ftah, which was sustained
in this court in the case of Hoyt vs. the
Territory of Ftah
8. That it does not appear on the
record that upon the evidence, the trial
in court should have declared Juror San
ford incompetent;
-f. That the objection to the admission
of Johann Most’s letter, and the cross
examination of Spies, which the counsel
for the prisoners maintained virtually
compelled them to testify against them
selves, were not objected to during the
trial in court, anij that, therefore, no
foundation was laid for the exercise of
this court's jurisdiction; and,
a. That the Questions raised by Gen
Butler in the eases of Spies and Fielden
upon the basis of their foreign nationali
ty were neither raised nor decided in the
State courts, and. therefore, cannot be
considered here. The writ of error prayed
for must consequently be denied.
Thus it-will be seen that the courts un
determined to vindicate the law, and
that free America is no place for the
read-handed murderers and anarchists.
The dicisiou settles several questions as
to the powers of State courts in the trial
ot State criminals. And it is to be hoped
will have ;♦ salutary effect in detering
others who might be disposed to follow
in path of the seven condemned men
who pay the fearful penalty ot their t
crime, to-morrow, on tlie scaffold.
Money and Trade.
The Financial Chronicle says: The
public has begun to appreciate the im
portance —not generally recognized when
we called attention to it last Saturday—
of Sis-ret ary Fairchild's new arrange
ment for placing in depository banks all
of his current surplus revenue. His plan
has been working; now another week,
and, as, we anticipated, the fear of fu
ture treasury accumulations has wlioly
gone, while, as practical result of the
arrangement, no currency has been ex
tracted from commerce by tiovernment
operations. Hence, so far as the sub
treasuries are concerned, receipts and
disbursements have almost absolutely
balanced, leaving bank reserves sub
stantially untouched, to gain by im
ports of gold and to lose only the net
loss oil tlie interior movement. In other
words, there has been not lung art ilieial
disturbing the money market. Trade
influences alone have Iteen in -o|M*rntion,
and tts the outfibw for crop purposes has,
in a measure, subsided, it is no surprise
that discount rates have declined.
Gov. Gordon Renders If is Decision.
Gov. Gordon has rendered his decision
in the convict cases, brought lieforx* him
some weeks since. He finds that peniten
j tiary companies 2 ami .4 have violated
j the law, in that they have cruelly and ex
j tensively whipped the convicts, and in
| some cases, required of them unreasone
j ble and excessive labor. The decision
j orders that these two companies pay
into tie* treasury of the State the sum of
$2,500 each, making five thousand dol
lars in the aggregate, by the 1 ot^ day of
February next, and that said companies
shall signify to the Governor by the first
day of December next whether they will
pay tie* same by the said loth day of
February, 1888. Should the said com
panies give the said notice to the Gov
ernor and pay into the State treasury
the amount herein claimed as damages
by the dates named respectively, then the
contracts with the State will stand tin re
scinded for any of theca uses inquired into
and passed upon in his order.
If the said lease companies shall fail to
give to the Governor notice as aforesaid,
or fail to pay the said sums as damages
by the said loth day of February next,
such further order will be made its the
Governor may deem proper in tie? prem
ises respecting the cancellation of the
contracts, the surrender and reletting of
the cf.nvicts, or any other matter or.
thing connected with the subject.
It is further ordered that, for final ac
tion on the question of cancellation and
for action that may be incident thereto,
these proceedings stand adjourned until
the time for giving said notice lias ex
pired. and if the notice shall be given,
then until the time for making payment
has expired.
In rendering his decision, tin* Governor
establishes* two important principles
which have caused wide differences of opin
ion, since the adoption of the lease act.
They are:
1. The right of the owner, of shares in
the lease companies to transfer their
shares to third parties.
2. The responsibility of the lessees to
the State, for the acts and conduct of
their subordinates.
Governor Gordon’s decisions will be
generally approved and have a healthy
effect.
Louisville furnishes a crime almost
equal to tin* \\ oolfolk tragedy, in atroci
ty. 011 last Thursday night Charles B.
Brownfield, a young man of good char
acter, deliberately cut the throats of Ids
sleeping wife and infant child, and ltis
wife's brother, W.' F. Bruner, after which
he hanged himself. The deed was com
mitted some time during Thursday night,
find was discovered next morning at
9:30 o’clock, when Mrs. Brownfield’s
mother and sister went to the house to
pay a visit to the family. Brownfield
left a note, written after the murder, in
which he stated that he kHied his wife
and baby because he was tired of life and
did not want them left in the world pen
niless, with no one to lake care of them.
He said that he killed Bruner because lit*
did not think he was fit to live. The
cause for his growing weary of life, he
stated to be gambling, and it is an awful
sermon his words and deeds preach
against that vice.
Gen. Gordon has returned from Ohio
where he delivered three speeches to im
mense gatherings. He expresses himself
as delighted with his reception and treat
ment, and says tin* bloody shirt is only
waved by the politicians. The masses of
the people give it no sympathy. We are
glad to see that he repudiates the story
going tin rounds of the press that he
kissed Gen. Morgan. He says that it is
a lie made of whole cloth, circulated by a
reporter of a republican newspaper.
The elections yesterday resulted in

I>esperat Wicked.
tla* I'miiiin nt of the City anil
Their J’tistors.
Washington has many handsome
churches, and most of them art* well at
tended. There is it widely prevailing
opinion that Washington is desolately
wicked, and that here till the prevalent
vices of the age find fullest development
and freest scope. It cannot be said that
it is a good city: indeed many of the
charges brought against it an* true, but
1 am not sure that it is worse than other
cities of the knifed States. There are
seasons of the year when it presents a
dashing and giddy appearance. When
fashion and folly, dash ami dissipation
seem to swt*ep everything before them.
1 his is during the session of congress
when strangers are here from all parts 1 f
the world, flush with money, ami spoiling’
for a good time. Then it is that there,
can be heard “a sound of revelry by
fight, and the cry is “on with the dance,
let joy be unconfined!” But the citizens
of \\ ashington proper are not resposi
ble for this. They are leisurely and
quiet in their ways, taking the world
easy and enjoying life in a different way
from that seen on the surface during the
winter months, and there cannot be
found anywhere a city of its size where
more church bells break 011 the air on
Sunday morning, and where more people
can be s<*en going to tin* places of wor
ship. It may be of interest to speak of
some of these churches more in detail.
Cavalry Baptist church, on the corner
of Bth and II streets, is the most popu
lar and fashionable of the Baptist
churches of the city. 1 think it has a
membership of a thousand or more, and
the Sunday School, including two branch
mission stations, has nearly fifteen hun
dred members. It is a neat building,
well constructed, prettily decorated, and
lias a seating capacity of perhaps a
thousand. Ihe pastor is Dr. Samuel 11.
Greene, of New York State. He is a com
paratively young man for so responsible
a charge, but for seven years past he has
bent to his work, audit is largely through
the church has attained
its present prosperity. Dr. Greene is a
man of strong personality. He doesn’t
preach these high-sounding, coldly intel
lectual sermons. It doesn't strike the
hearer that the preacher is on the other
side of a stone fence, ora mile away while
in the pulpit, but he gets close to his con
gregation. There is a personal magnet
ism about the mail that seems to radiate
from him and connect itself with those
around him. Not specially eloquent.
Not particularly learned. Not startling
ly sensational. He is earnest, practical,
sv mpathetic and logical. There is some
thing warming in what lie says. His
words strikeyou as coming straight from
his heart. There is no swiveling cant or
weekly sentimentalism about his way of
preaching, but it has the touch of pathos
and the ring of Christian conviction.
There is no straining after affect, nor ap
parent effort to please for the mere sake
of pleasing or of gaining a crowd, and
yet he wins the people to him and never
preaches to small congregations.
Che New A ork Avenue Presbyterian
church is the most handsomely furnished
church in the city. It is not the largest,
but the interior decorations and appoint
ments are splendid. The congregation is
made up of rich and fashionable people.
I have sometimes felt in going there that
it was more a place for show than for
worship. The house is so pretty, the.peo-.
pie so fine, and the mangement so stately
and dignified, that onecau easily imagine
that an icicle is touching somewhere.
But this feeling is dispelled when Dr. Bart
lett, the pastor, begins to speak. He is
a pulpit orator of splendid gifts and fine
presence, speaks without manuscript,
and gives to his sermons a touch of elo
quence and earnestness that is very win
ning and heart-stirring. If you should
come to Washington and stay over Sun
day; wanted to see the most fashionably
dressed people, and also hear a good ser
mon, you could not do better, perhaps,
than to visit the New York Avenue Pres
byterian church.
The Metropolitan Methodist church, on
Four-and-a-Half street, near Pennsylva
nia Avenue, is known to Washingtonians
as the church that. Grant built. Dr. John
P. Newman, who is its pastor, was the
pet and favorite spiritual adviser of Gen
eral Graift, and it was during his admin
istration this church was built. It seems
that Grant, through his fondness for Dr.
Newman, took great interest in its con
struction. He subscribed liberally him
self and secured others to subscribe, so
that the church was rapidly built and
I)r. Newman was installed as the pastor.
It is the largest church in the city and
has the tallest steeple, but the architec
ture is bad and the interior looks gloomy.
Dr. John P. Newman is now its pastor.
This man won much of his notoriety by
toadying around Gen, Grant, and acting
as his spiritual adviser during his last
illness. He seems to pride himself on his
connection with the late ex-president and
never loses an opportunity to speak of
him as his intimate friend. But, aside
from this, he is one of the finest pulpit
speakers in the city. Indeed he has few
superiors as an eloquent preacher. He is
a man of large build and broad Irish cast
of face. He stands very erect and looks
his congregation square in the face as he
speaks. The sermon flows from him in
well rounded periods and his eloquence is
sometimes of that sweeping, towering
kind that is almost irresistible. It is not
an unusual thing for his congregation to
break into stirring applause, and he near
ly always fills his large church with an
eager and attentive congregation. Yet
1 do not like him; nor does any truly
Southern man like him. He is a Republi
can of Republicans; a northern Republi
can—a radical. He appears to see noth
ing good outside that party, and he
preaches his politics. Hardly a Sunday
passes that he does not make a slap at
the South. His favorite expression for
Southerners is “traitors,” and his refer
ence to the war is “treason against the
1 nion." It Dr. Newman would only

The church where President and Mrs.
Cleveland worship is a modest little
brown church just across the street from
the Metropolitan Methodist It is very
plain both outside and inside. Dr. Byron
11. Sunderland, the little man who tills
the pulpt, is himself very plain and be
gins to show signs of shrivelling up. Xhe
church is of the Presbyterian faith, and
the congregation that ordinarily wor
ships there is made up of the staid, prime,
old-time sort of people that we can re
member to have seen at church when we
were children. I say the congregation
that ordinarily worships there, tor now
that the President and Mrs. Cleveland
are pew holders, when it is known that
they are to attend, the audience is as
large and stylish as one would care to see.
I)r. Sunderland is a quaint, dry preacher.
His sermons are read from manuscript,
and he is by no means a good reader.
But he wades bravely into what seems to
bean interminable heap of manuscript,
and stays with it until •t he last page has
been turned. It is not to be understood
that he is a man of poor ability. He is
not. His sermons are orthodox, thought
ful and strong. He is not a sorry preach
er; but you know it is very monotonous
to have to listen to a long sermon, espe
cially when it comes from manuscript and ’
is poorly read at that.
If time would permit, there are many
other churches of which it would be pleas
ant to write. There is the Mount Vernon
Place Methodist church, where Dr. Harri
son used to preach, and which, I believe,
is the only Southern Methodist church
in the city. The I street Presbyterian
church, where the Southern Presbyterians
worship, and which- is presided over by
that good Christian and true Southern
man. Dr. Pitzer. The Rock Creek Epis
copal church, an old-time vine-covered
little cjfurch, built in 1719 with bricks
brought from England, and many years
preached to by the venerable Dr. Buck,
who looks and is almost as old as the
church. The South Washington Baptist
church, where those of the true Southern
blood and spirit met during the trying
times of the war, led and ministered to
by that good and noble man, Dr.
Meadow, who still leads and preaches to
them with his old time zeal and vi/for.
But I cannot lengthen this letter to tell
of all the many places where the people
of Washington meet to worship God.
There may be, and are, many wicked
people in our capitol city, but there are
equally as many and more who remember
the Sabbath day and keep it holy,
and who worship God with reverence
and love. W. J. N.

A Novel Bet.
While 1 am not a betting mail, said F.
.1. Cheney, of the firm of F. .1. Cheney &
Cos., I considered it my religions duty to
make that fellow a bet, you sis l he was
about dead, and I guess he would of died
before spring, if 1 had not: of got him on
the bet. You know some men had rather
lose their life than lose a hundred, well he
was one of that kind, and we both came
near being out, but I saved my hundred
and it cost him ten dollars. How's that?
He sent for me one day and said the doc
tors had all given him up to die with the
catarrh. I told him that 1 would bet him
SIOO that Hall’s Catarrh Cure would
cure him or I would give him SIOO if it
tailed. He took the latter proposition.
This was three months ago: you see how
he looks now, don’t you, as well as any
one, and a dandy.—American, Toledo,

A NAMELESS CASE.
M.v case has been a very curious one for about
thirteen years. At intervals of about one week I
would la attacked with speels of severe and most
excruciating pain, always commencing in there.
K'ion ot iny kidneys. The pain would then go up
wards and affect m.v body anil head, and seemed
to penetrate my very eye-balls,creating the most
intense suffering, lasting about eight hours each
speel.
I resorted to all kinds of medicine without bene
fit. Several doctors treated my case, but none
gave relief. 1 finally used B. B. li as an expert,
ment, and to my utter astonishment all pain and
suffering vanished after using three doses. To
tile present time I have used three bottles, and
not a pain has eyer ret urned. Ido not know
what was the matter, neither could my physician
name the complaint. The ii. B I!, acted finel.i
and powerfully upon my kidneys; my appetite
has been splendid and my constitution built up
rapidly. R. THOMAS,
Constitution, Ga., May <l, lssti.
UNIMPEACHED INTEGRITY
-lam 55. Broke down twelve years ago, and
have not been able to work since. Have lost
proper action of my hips anil leers. For five years
scrofulous sores have appeared on my scalp ami
nose, and at same time my eyesight began to fall,
and for three years have been comparatively
blind. Have been treated by eminent physicians
of different schools without a cure. 1 have taken
five bottles of It. B. B. ( made at All ant a, Ga.),
and all scrofulous sores are gradually healing. In
flammation about my eyes has disappeared and
there is some improvement in my vision. Am
very much lienefitted and relieved and begiu to
feel like a boy again—feel good. My strength and
activity are returning in my legs and hips. The
B. B. B. acts vigorously upon my kidneys, and
the great quantity of matter that has been forced
out through the skin is utterly fui redible, often
so offensive in odor as to produce nausea. 1 refer
