Tha Macon* Were l'na'„le to Bolve th “Conover Curve,” and Were Caused Around the li amund to Tune of 18 to Nothing. Atlanta, April 12.— The Sotithern Baseball association season opened y ■* terday afternoon with the Macon team on the Atlanta diamond. Fully 2,5(J0 people faced the strong wind to see the opening day and to look upon the ball park. Had the weather been pleasant it is believed that the new grounds would not have held the people. The game was one sided, and went to Atlanta’s credit when the reckoning had been completed. The Macon team is composed of some f the best p’a.yers the south has seen in quite awhile, but they are now working at a great dis advantage because they have not been together any length of time. It won’t take them lonsr to limber up, and then a good game may be expected from the Central (ity team. Following is the score by innings. Atlanta, 18: Macon, 0. Following were other games played by Southern League teams: At Nashville—Nashville, 8; Memphis, 8. Game called on account of darkness. At Navannah—Charleston, 15; Savan nah, 6. At New Orleans —New Orleans, 7; Mobile, 4. MARKET IN THE DOLDRUMS. The Sun’s Review of the Cotton and Tex tile Trade. New York, April 12. —The Sun’s cot ton review says: The market was still in the doldrums on account of bearish Liverpool and Manchester, and south ern advices, long liquidation and re newed selling for short account. The semi-weekly interior receipts were bearish and the receipts at the ports were again suprisingly large. The New Orleans estimate for today was rather in the bull interest, but the great trouble is the lack of speculation, the falling off in the spot demand of late both in this country and abroad and fears of hostile legislation on the tariff and the option trading system at Washington. In the meantime it is a market without strikingly interesting features. On the decline the south boußht to a moderate extent. MILLS FOR nnx/enNinD j Tennessee the President JS A s ittil TT ,* e A r pr if * 12. —The populist Conventiou to nominate a candidate for governor of Tennessee assemb.ed here yesterday. It was a full convention, about 200 delegates from all parts of the state being present. Captain R. F. Kolb, the leader of the Alabama "Jef fersonians,” was present, and ex-Gov ernor Buchanan, who calls himself a ‘‘Jeffersonian” democrat, was also hob nobbing with the delegates. This leads to the belief that the populist conven tion will inaugurate a populist-Jeff er gon function, with free silver coinage for its platform. A. J. Mills, president of the state alliance, was nominated for governor. Xo ticket put out for supreme iudges. GRANT S MURDER AVENGED. - One of the Murderers to Hang. Three Oth ers Go Up for Life.

Lexington, Kv., April 12.—The be lief that Colonel Breckinridge will withdraw from the race for re-election to congress when the jury in the fa mous trial shall have rendered a ver dict, is becoming more general.

He is looking as well as ever, and like a fel low- from whose mind a load has been taken, even at the tremendous price which he is called upon to pay.

Butterworth’s Address to the Jury in Behalf of Breckinridge. MILD, IMPRESSIVE AND ELOQUENT. The Major I'lctured the Plaintiff a* Did Colonel Thompson, Who Preceded Him—To be Followed by Judge Wilson, for the Plaintiff. Washington, April 12.— Colonel Phil Thompson closed his argument for Colonel Breckinridge yesterday in the Pollard-Breckinridge breach of promise case before a very sparse attendance. Major Butterworth for the Defense. He was followed by Major Ben But terworth, also for the defense, au elo quent talker. Major Butterworth be gan somewhat diffidently, but soon warmed up to his work, cnaraeterizing the suit as a far-reaching pestilence that should never nave been brought to trial. Major Butterworth said he had known Colonel Breckinridge for many years -as lawyer, friend, neigh bor, colleague, brother—“and,” said he, “you may speed it on the light nyigs, gentlemen, that the man to whom Ben Butterworth was a iriend in his prosperity does not turn his back on him in nis adversity.” The Innocent School Girl. “It was a most remarkable thing,” said Major Butterworth, resuming, j “how innocent this little school girl had been. They did not raise girls like that on the Miami when he was a boy. He offered notning in extenuation of the defendant; his friend, Judge Wil son, could not be more severe on him than he had been on himself. But as to the plaintiff, she. had said: ‘I was only a simple country girl. Mr. Car lisle,' and what could a simple country girl know about men. If that be your theory,” cried Major Butterworth, “I denounce it as a vile slander on every country girl in the world. A country girl knows the difference between right and wrong. My mother was a country girl playing with your mother, her neigh m r, my good friend (turning to Judge Wilson) ,>n the banns of the Miami. My sister was a country girl; so was yours.” They needed no one to tell them the difference between right and wrong; they needed no watchful duenna to protect them from bad nun. Major Butterworth picked Miss Pol lard’s character to pieces, beginning with the letters she wrote to Owen Robinson, in lbbO. Even then, he said, she knew about love and marriage, and corresponded with young men, this in nocent girl who says she never knew a person, did not have a s.ngie friend, not even a bowing acquaintance, “tnis innocent little school girl.” He said was born, and ail that. . The Wess.e Br.iwn Letter. Taking up after recess the VVessie Brown letter, which he read, Major Butterworth said that that writing told of experience lj. love rather re markable in an innocent little girl •. ho knew nobody. 'This led Major Lutter worth to inquire why it was that while otuer giris iu America went without chaperones Miss Pollard was never trusted to walk alone with the boys. Why was Uncie George, or Aunt Lou, or Mrs. Kean always with her? Why was it that this girl was so watched? She had been engaged to Lodes; she had been engaged to liosell, and she confessed a love for AlecK Julian and Prof, übermeyer. “Did she not have experience?” he asked. Taking up the letter dated July 20, 1884, inviting Colonel Breckinridge to call on Miss Pollard at Wes.eyau col lege, which the plaintiff pronounced a forgery, Major Butterworta crit.cized the counsel for the plaintiff for trying to hold up tiie deiendant as a blackleg, a perjurer and a forger, in the face of all tne evidence that she wrote the let ter. Shaking is list at Colonel Breck inridge, and rushing at him with a weii simulated ferocity of countenance an.i manner, he almost shouted: "It seither tne letterof Madeline Pollard or you're guilty of forgery. Youve disgraced your family, your traditions and your boy, who sits by your side, or else that woman lied.” The First Me, ting. With no attempt to disguise his irony he pictured Miss Pollard as she had "made herself appear at the meeting with the defendant at Wesleyan col lege a poor, fluttering little creature, who tried and tried to tell this man of her trouble with Kodes, and was laugh ingly diverted and made to tell of her self and to listen to flatteries. Major jut-t rworth maintained that if .Miss Pollard had been all she claimed and if Colonel Breckinridge had made wrong ful adva ces he would have been re pulsed in a way that would have kept him from further conduct of that sort. "There is that about the virtuous woman,” he cried, "which chills every > erm of lascivious approach.” As for the carriage ride that night, if she were a virtuous woman at the first ap proach of lasciviousness she would nave crieu,” land Major Gutterworth made a rusii at the white-haired defendant and shook his fist in his face, shouting his words in tones that could have been head a block;, "‘take me back, you leper,’ You wouldn’t have gone twen ty feet with her,’ he shouted, address ing the defendant, "I don't care any thing about your blandishments. She would have run away from you—goue to her mother—to somebody—for pro tection, and so wou and ev ry virtuous woman repulse such lecherous ad vances.” THE GEORGIA CENTRAL PLAN. Mr. R. T. Wilson t oik* of Its Contents and Provision*. NewYork, April 12. —R. T. Wilson says: "The Georgia Central railroad plan was formulated several months ago. but lam not at liberty to discuss its contents and provisions. "I know, however.that no altercations have been made since it was shown to me. As for' the talk that an attempt was being made by General Thomas, and Thomas F.
