CARTERSVILLE. GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 21. 1883,
SAMUEL J. TILDEN IS NOT A CANDI- '
DATE.
lion. Henry "Watterson Reiterates the
Statement.
New York, Juno 12. —Hon. Henry
Watterson, the noted Louisville editor,
who has been spending some days with
Mr. Tilden, has written the following ac
count of his visit for the Courier-Journal,
in which paper it will appear to-morrow
morning:
“I have been spending a few days at
Greystone with Gov. Tilden, and not
merely because his old friends in the
west and south have an ever present per
sonal interest in him, but because his
name at the moment is upon iito lips of
politicians of every class all over the
country, I propose to give the readers of
the Courier-Journal some particular ac
count of him.
“When 1 parted with him a year ago I
did never expect to see him again. In
deed, I was so skeptical of the stories
concerning his restoration to health as to
feel a delicacy about intruding upon pri
vacy. He was good enougli to send for
me, and I went over to Gramercy Park in
a somewhat sorrowful, sympathetic state
of mind.
“My surprise almost exceeded my
gratification. The old house is undergo
ing reconstruction and enlargement on a
magnificent scale, but the old library is
stiil the same, being held from the hand
of the despoiling splendor for_ the last.
I take it as a tribute of affectionate re
membrance of old times, old friends and
old books. There I found the governor.
“If an apparition had stood before me
I could not have been more astonished.
The days of ’75-’G-’7 seemed to have
come back. His low voice was found
again. His eyes were bright and his
cheeks rosy. His intellect is as sinewy
and clear, and his wit as incisive as they
were when he made nothing of riding
Clackstone to Ilarlem and back or driv
ing the Kentucky bays from Gramercy
Park to Greystone.
“He took me all over the new house,
pointing out various changes, explaining
his general design, and discussing archi
tecture and architects with characteristic
intelligence.
“He quite tired me out by a favorite
and malevolent way he has of punishing
his friends, diluting long stairs, mean
dering through labyrinths of decorative
art, and threading tapestries and frescoed
mazes of corridor and chamber.
“On current affairs lie talked with his
usual pungency and candor.
“When endurance had ceased to be a
virtue, I said:
“ ‘Governor, don’t yon think we have
had enough of this?’
“He smiled, and in his dry, half-pity
ing, half-sarcastic way replied:
“ ‘if you are tired we will go down
stairs.’
“At Greystone his life is of the simp
lest and busiest. He has a farm hard by
and no end of pigs, poultry and blooded
stock. Of course I had 'to be dragged
over this farm, and the devices which
the old gentleman put slyly forth to trap
me into some unguarded treason to the
butter and eggs of my blue gras' coun
try were many and ingenious. I stood
my ground like a hero, but it must be
owned that the governor’s farming is
like, everything lie undertakes, thorough
ly well done.
“I asked him whether ho tried to make
any money out of it.
‘“Oh, no,’ lie said; ‘lt is easier made
some other way.”
“While at Greystone not so much as a
shadow or a ghost of a politician crossed
the threshold or appeared on the
grounds. Surrounded by his nieces and
his books, the old statesman and philoso
pher was as unserved in his conversa
tion as he was, and always is, simple and
cordial in his hospitality.
“One of the young ladies told me that
tlie little household lias got through over
200 volumes last winter. The governor
is a voracious and versatile reader, no
less than an attentive and wise observer
of affairs, and we talked of everything
from Thomas A Kempis to Thomas A
Hendricks.
“He playfully observed that the chief
objection he had heard to the election of
Mr. Carlisle to the speakership was that
in some recent volumns published by
one Mr. Froude, there was a suspicion
that lie had mistreated his wife.
“Here I must stop. I know that the
public is most curious to learn what are
Mr. Tilden’s views of political affairs,
current and prospective. I have little
doubt that if I had the right to speak I
could, by faithfully reporting him, make
myself at once entertaining and instruc
tive, hut tlie opinions of every man are
his own, and his house is sacred.
“I never knew a man more en
tirely frank in his intercouse with
friends than than this sage of Greystone,
but 1 am not his mouthpiece, and it is not
for me to come all tlie way from Ken
tucky to Yew York to do that which he
is so much better able to do for himself.
I can say, however, tor myself that noth
ing passed which leads me to modify the
opiniou I haye so often expressed, that
no power on earth could induce him to
accept tlie presidency.” “H. W.”
Personal. —We are glad to see our old
friend Major Scott on the streets again.
He has been suffering for a long time
with Dyspepsia and Indigestion, but is
now entirely cured. He was cured by tak
ing the justly fumous“Seven Strongs Iron
and Alum Mass,” manufactured only by
Landrum & Litchfield, Abingdon, Va.,
and for sale by all Druggists at 50 cents
and $1 per bottle. This is simply the
“salts” of mi neral waters and is no hum
bug.

THE I'AI'AI, LETTER.
It is M licit Milder In Tone Than lias j
Been Believed.
By the Times-Star Leased Line.]
New York, June 18.— The Herald lias
tlie following special from Rome:
1 his evening I had a private audience
with Cardinal Simeon} at his residence
denee in tlie Propaganda Palace. He
during the day had an interview with
the Pope, and he received me with more
than his wonted affability and tavored
me with a long interview, in which the
Irish question was considered from ev
ery Catholic point of view. In answer
to categorical question lie made tlie fol
lowing frank, full and important state
ment :
“To begin with, the letter to Irish
bishops had no political aim. Into po
litical questions the Holy Father has j
said and tlie Osservatore Romano has j
since repeated lie cannot and dare not j
enter. The letter was disciplinary and ;
written in tlie interests of morality and 1
discipline only, it cotfjd matter nothing 1
or very little to the Holy Father whether
Mr. Parnell received a testimonial for
SIO,OOO or SIOO,OOO. Mr. Parnell was
not personally in tlie mind ot the Holy
Father, or the Propaganda, when it was
issued, but behind Mr. Parnell, sheltered
under the prestige of- his name, were
many agitators whose conduct is immor
al and revolutionary, tending to sow dis
sension between nations and create a
breach between priests and people.
This very morning,” continued the car
dinal, “the Holy Father said to me:
“The Irish have always been led by the
priests and it is hoped the priests and the
people will always be united in Ire
land.’ ”
“Moreover,” continued the cardinal,
“the Holy Father said to ine, and ap
peared gratified by the fact, that tlie agi
tation in Ireland is subsiding. The let
ter of the Propaganda is being implicity
obeyed by tlie bishops and tlie people.
I should willingly see a cessation of an
gry discussion with all who sutler as the
Irish suffer. The Holy Father expresed
His best wishes for Ireland, and said : ‘I
feel now and shall continue to feel tlie
deepest sympathy with the Irish, and es
pecially with Irish tenants (the cardinal
speaking to your correspondent in
French used tlie word “ fermiers ,”) and
so long as tlie Irish take moral means,
such as tlie laws permit, of advancing
their patriotic cause I should never think
it necessary to interfere.’ ”
Tlie cardinal continued: “The Propa
ganda letter was not intended as a re
buke or reproach to tiie bishops. It was
simply issued as a fatherly warning,
showing them into what pitfalls they
might be lod-inio by some who, under
cover of a testimonial subscription,
seemed to be fostering if possible mur
der, but certainly unlawful agitation,
and interfering with liberty. For, as I
remarked in conversation with Arch
bishop Croke, whom we have not rebuk
ed in tlie letter any mere than the rest !>f
tlie bishops: “You said, Mosignore, in a
recent address, something to this effect —
give to tliis fund, and by the measure of
your liberality shall your patriotism he
nidged.’ By acting in this way under
pressure was made to bear on individu
als. The discussion created by the letter
did not forbid agitation at public meet
ings, nor forbid priests attending so
long as they made no violent speeches,
but used their influence to calm tlie an
gry passions. They are not forbidden
by the letter nor does the Holy Father
forbid them to attend meetings. The 1
question is broader and simpler than lias ,
been stated. With persons and politics !
the Holy Father has nothing to do, but
it was his duty to show the way of mor- *
ality to those in danger of forsaking it.
The letter appeals to all Catholics. It
may be studied by Americans, Austra
lians and Irish with the same profit.”
The cardidal ending here, I asked if it
was to be inferred that certain diploma
tic agents—Mr. Errington, for instance—
had assumed inportance in making it ap
pear they had been influential in bring
ing about the issue of the letter.
The cardinal replied:
“You may infer that assuredly, if
Sir. Errington has asserted such to he
tlie case. But for tlie indiscretion of
the person who litre! the letter made pub
lic, it would have remained private.,’
“You did not then authorize Mr. Er- !
rington to publish it?”
The cardinal replied: “Certainly
not.”
Thanking tlie cardinal for his courtisy,
I asked whether it was true that tlie
American archbishops had been sum
moned to Rome.
He replied : “Yes; but on no political
business, and nothing connected with
what we have discussed. They are ex
pected here in November. They will
probably stay at the American college.”
The proverb “there’s nothing new un
der the sun,” has added force from a dis
covery made recently at Aleppo. Accord
ing to the Turkish official gazette of that
place, a party of engineers, while making
excavations beneath the citadel of tlie
town, have come upon a large wrought
iron breech loading cannon, which must
have been buried at least, for 250 years.
That the weapon should be a breech-load
er is in itself sufficiently astonishing, but
the most extraordinary part of the affair
is that the breeeli mechanism is almost
exactly similar to that which lias for so
many years been fitted by Krnpp, of Es
sen, to the artillery of the German army.
Tiie gun bears tlie name of its maker,
Halebii Mustapha Osia, and is in fairly
good preservation.— Savannah Hews.

VICTORIA'S ABDICATION.
Tlie Alarming Reports Current in AVasll j
ingtou.
Washington Special, loth.;
The Sunday Herald says: “A repre
sentative of one of the prominent Europ
ean powers tells me that a yery serious
event is pending in England, which is
the abdication of the queen. The reatons
given for this unexpected course are her
fast failing health and increasing unwill
ingness and sometimes inability on her
part to perform the duties incident to gov
ernment.
' “For some years tlie queeti'has been a j
mild believer in spiritualism. She
thought the spirit of her dead husband
used to assist her in working out the
questions which perplexed and sometimes
annoyed her. Since tlie death of her fa
vorite servant, John Brown, site has been
very much depressed, and finally it was
necessary to remove her to Balmoral,
where some of her happiest days were
spent with the lover and husband of her
youth.
“I am told that some very pathetic i
scenes took place at her last visit there, j
She seemed to feel the actual presence of j
her dead prince, and talked as though he j
were by her side. This and other occur- I
rences frightened ami alarmed her daugh- j
ter, Beatrice, very greatly, and she in- j
sisted that some of the other members of !
the family should come down- at once, j
The life of Princess Beatrice must be j
something dreary beyond words.
“The information was telegraphed from !
London by tlie ambassador of a great
power to His sovereign on Wednesday
last flint tlie abdication of tlie queen of
England was impending, and would
probably occur very soon.
“From any other than this most relia
ble source I should doubfit. The queen
has clung to tlie visible endowments of
the throne with such tenacity that she
must have changed greatly before tlie
tliougiit was bearable. But the break
down of Her health lias been followed by
melancholia of the most pronounced
type.
“It seems not to bo generally known
that tlie trouble with tlie queen’s knee
comes from a large ulcer of a scrofulous
and cancerous nature that lias formed
under the knee-joint, and in spite of all
that can be done is eating its way through
muscle and nerve to the bone, and her
condition is very serious indeed.
“The abdication of tlie queen and suc
cession of tiie prince of Wales as prince
regent would change tiie whole condition
ot English polities.”
THE OHIO GKEENBaCEERS.
Columbus, Ohio, June 13.— The state
convention of tlie greenback labor party
met here to-day. About forty delegates
were in attendance. The platform charg
es both great parties with bribery and
corruption in securing nominations and
elections, with fostering monopolies and
with extravagant use of tiie taxing pow
ers. It demands the abolition of the na
tional bank system, and the substitution
of tiie legal tender paper money for tlie
present currency. It insists that tlie rail
roads he required to reduce their extor
tionate rates; favors tlie postal telegraph
system; demands tlie restoration to the
people of the public lands recklessly ap
propriated to corporations; declares that
all men have a rigiit to a part of the land,
and that general prices depend upon tlie
amount of currency in circulation, and
calls for temperance reformation and the
abolition of tiie convict system. The
following ticket was nominated: Gov
ernor, Charles Jenkins; lieutenant-gov
ernor, William Baker; supreme judge,
short term, 11. A. Chamberlain; supreme
court, long term, James B. Grogan; clerk
supreme court, William Bentz; attorney
general, Lloyd G. Tuttle; auditor state,
Colonel J. 11. Roades; treasurer state,
John Seitz; commissioner of public
schools, J. M. Case; member of tlie
board of public works, John J. Scribner.

inent colored republican from Ohio, now
holding a position in one of tlie govern
ment departments in Washington city,
said to a reporter yesterday: “The repub
licans of Ohio will never elect Foreaker.
The colored element throughout the state
will not vote for him. Several weeks ago,
when the question of his possible nomi
nation for governor came up, a movement
was started to And out who Foreaker
was. I was in this city at the time, and
I promptly informed my friends that lie
was the man who figured against tlie civil
rights bill before the state supreme court
to tlie detriment of the colored people.
That tact remembered, tiie colored peo
ple are now up in arms against him. In
Greene county the colored republicans
have already passed resolutions repudiat
ing the nomination and have appointed a
committee to canvass the state to urge His
defeat.”
Tiie informant of tiie reporter exhibited
letters and telegrams in corroboration of
iiis statement. The gentleman is a well
known politician. His work for tlie re
publicans in tlie west is known, and
what lie asserts concerning the possible
defeat of Foreaker, cannot he questioned,
being the views of a careful and far-see
ing mail.
Notwithstanding Queen Victoria’s del
icate nervous condition, she drove, with
in an hour of her arrival at Balmoral,
with the Princess Beatrice to Carthie
Kirkyard, for the purpose of inspecting
John Brown’s grave. She has since paid
a special visit to the house built for
Brown at Balnaehoile, which she ordered
to be permanently closed. This morbid
anxiety for the preservation of all relies
uf her late body servant is thought tjy
many to be an evidence of mental decay
on the part of the queen.

THE CUItSE
Washington, June 13, —Miuhael Shoe
nan, one of the jurors of the Gniteau i
trial, was looked up at seventh precinct !
station yesterday for insanity. Ever since j
the Quiteati trial his friends have [
a strangeness in his manner, and it seem- I
ed as if the Gniteau prophecy to befall all f
those connected with his conviction had j
produced ji deep effect on ids mind. He i
would lie awake for hours after going to j
bed, until finally he became so nervous !
that he was unable to sleep at all, and j
had to give up his position as watchman
at the Metropolitan hotel, which place he
hits held for some years. About twelve j
o’clock Sdnday night he rushed out of I
his house, crying for the police, and said j
his wife wanted to murder him and talk- j
ed in the most incoherent manner. Olli
cer Fitzgerald, seeing his condition, took j
him into custody and locked hint up .at j
ttie seventh precinct station.
The death of District Attorne/ Cork- j
hill’s wife was the first event which could j
be.called a fulfillmentofGuiteau’s proph
ecy. Juror Ifohb’s wife died. Surgeon
General Barnes, an important witness, !
died. Judge Porter’s health is said to be
wrecked. Marshal Henry, Bailiff Stahl, j
Detective McElfresh, jail wagon guard I
Perry Carson and the driver, James !
Leonard, were dismissed from service, j
Mr. Noble, a young and important wit- !
ness, died. Rev. Dr. Hicks has been li- ■
belled. Dr. Gray, another expert, was
shot at in a Utica asylum, and Dr. Mc-
Donald has been or is the subject of in
vestigation in connection with his admin
istration of Wood’s Island, New Vork.
Officer Pat Kearney’s removal from the
Baltimore and Potomac department was
only a temporary misfortune, though at
one time included among the fulfillments
of Guitean’s curse. Poor Mike Sheen## '
is well known and well liked by every [
one who knew hint.
THE SOITIIBRN TEUCRAPH COH
-I’ANV.
The Savannah yews: The lines of the
Southern Telegraph Company are com
pleted and working from New York lo
Richmond, Fredericksburg, Petersburg,
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Lynchburg and
Danville. Greensboro and Weldon will
be open in a few days.
Construction gangs have beep placed
at Greensboro, Charlotte, Columbia, Au
gusta and Charleston, at which points
material has already been delivered to
complete the lines to those cities. A
foreman of construction is i:i Savannah,
and will be ready in a few days,
as soon as some additional material lias
been received, to complete the work at
this point. It is expected Amt within
sixty days Savannah will be in commu
nication with New York and intermediate
points over the new line.
The Southern Telegraph Company has
j a close working arrangement with the
j Baltimore and Cliio, the Bankers and
| Merchants, and the American Rapid
Telegraph Companies, so that when this
J line is completed to Savannah it will be
) in communication with Boston, New
i York, Albany and other Northern and
j Western cities.
The company has arranged also with
the French and New York and London
Direct Cables, by which it enjoys equal
facilities for foreign telegraphy to
those of any other American telegraph
company.
The Berrien. County Xeuis says: “The
extension of the Brunswick and Western
Road is no longer a doubtful question,
but is an assured fact. The contract lias
been let to build a handsome iron bridge
across Flint river, at Albany, and the
contractors propose to complete the work
within forty-five days after they com
mence. When the bridge is completed
Pullman Palace sleeping ears will be run
over this road to Jacksonville, Fla., and
the extension of the road from Albauy to
Columbus will be commenced immediate
ly; and then from Columbus to Mont
gomery, Alabama, so we learn. This ex
tension will give the people along the
line of road direct transportation for their
produce to northern, northeastern and
northwestern markets; and our predic
tion is that these facilities will develop
this entire section into one immense truck
farm and fruit orchard. The people
along the Brumiswiek and Western aliea
dy furnish a quantity of fruits, vegetables
and melons to northern markets, and bet
ter facilities will largely increase this in
dustry. This is the way we look at if. A
great many people may differ with us in
regard to this matter, but we hope we.
are right, and we trust that we may live
to see the day when the splendid country
along the Brunswick and Western will be
developed into fertile truck farms and
abundant fruit orchards —and we believe
that day is not far distant, cither.”
There will be three pictures of Hon,
Benjamin H. Hill presented to the legis
lative committee for its choice, to be
placed in the state capitol. The compet
ing artists are Miss Mary Franklin, of
Athens, and Horace Bradley ami J. 11.
Moser, of Atlanta. The legislature ap
propriated SI,OOO to pay for the accepted
picture. We hope that if all of them
should trove to be faithful hi likeness
and >v 11 executed the state will take all
three, paying SI,OOO for the one prefer
red and SSOO apiece for tlie other two.
One in the state supreme court room and
one in the federal court room would lie
mementoes of his great ability as a law
yer, and the one iu the legislative halls
would be a tit reminder of his distinction
as a politician.— Home Courier.
