David Walker of Florida died in Tallahassee on Sunday night. He was 70 years old. France has decided to let the Ameri can hog come in. It would have been impossible to keep them all out. Tux last one a man tells lio Is making! ““ ... ] the DlaekHDi.v.. money is his wife, but she is tue nr8C j his helper holding a sledge hammer, one he tells when he is losing it. i The other clasp was locked on with a brass : : :—“ . lock, the same as is in use on freight cars. I Wx. H. Pope, the Louisville embez-1 mdmd t|l(J men to their quarters, as they HOW PRESIDENT DAVIS WAS MANA CLED. Jerome Titlow, late captain Third Pennsylvania regiment artillery, has published a letter telling how President Davis was put in irons while he was a prisoner in Fort Monroe. It was done by order of Gen. Miles, who did it of his own volition. Capt. Titlow says lie was the officer ordered to iron him and did so. Mr. Davis violently resisted, striking one soldier a heavy blow that nearly felled him. The soldier gathered his irons and was about to strike the prisoner when Capt Titlow interfered and prevent edit Mr. Davis tried to wrench a musket from the hands of another soldier. Four other men were ordered in. Mr. Davis struck the foremost of these, but they all rushed upon and overpowered him. The captain says: Davis showed unnatural strength; It was could do to hold him while the blacksmith riveted the clasp around his xler, has been captured in the City of Mexico and is being held by the police for extradition. Singing hymns is said to be the latest way of quieting stampeded cattle out west. The difficulty is to get some one to sing the hymns. Referring to the Tennessee coal strikes, the Columbia State congratu lates its citizens that while they have no coal they have peace. The weekly editors have returned from their journey to New York, and their readers may expect some rich ex periences of their-trip. The price for kissing pretty girls has come down in New York. A fellow who performed the act by force upon the street was only fined $5. Cholera is raging at Mecca, there being 140 deaths Saturday and 380 Sun day. The deaths occurred chiefly among Turkish pilgrims. The Georgia State Alliance will meet in Atlanta on August 10, and the third party question will probably take a lead ing part in the proceedings. Tiiere is a rumor in Washington to the effect that President Ilarrison has some thought of visiting Bar Ilarbor be fore the close of tho summer. The Philadelphia Press says that tho Democratic rooster will give ptyce to a crow in November. A rooster without a crow would bo a sorry sort of a roos ter. Russia has indefinitely suspended her persecution of tho Hebrews, and the press has been ordered to publish noth ing calculated to excite animosity against them. Major O. A. Bacon pronounces ab surd tho rnmor that ho wishes to go to Congress. lie cannot afford to abandon his practice and burn up his law books just at present. The Atlanta Herald, the new evening paper of the Gate City, has failed to turn up at this office yet. Is the demand greater than the capacity of the big new press, that the exchanges are left off? Says tho witty editor of tho Darien Gazette: “When Tommie Watson is elected governor of Georgia corn will grow to be forty-five feet high and watermelons can be plucked from pear trees. Having gotten rid of one man In the divorco mills Mrs. James Brown Potter has tacked on to another. The unfortu nate fellow is no other than Kyrle Bel low, and the knot was tied In Hong Kong, China. George Francis Train has finished his tilp around tho world, having last week returned to bis starting point in the stato of Washington. Ho accom plished the circuit in sixty-two days, beating tho record. The trouble In Tennessee between the governor and the miners is about to be adjusted. Tho governor lias agreed to call a session of the legislature and leave the matter with them. The law which leased tlio convicts is obnoxious to the working people of Tennessee, ami a strong effort >vill be made to have it re pealed at the special session to be held. Congressman Bkltzuoovku, who represented Pennsylvania at the Tam many Fourth of July demonstration, said, in reply to tho question whether Cleveland or Hill is Tammany’s choice: “Tammany is unquestionably for Cleve land, and while Hill has many friends there, tho preponderance is for Cleve land, nlno to one. Tho issue iu the next campaign will be tariff, pure and passed out. Davis lay perfectly motionless. Just as I was going out Davis raised from his cot and threw his feet to the floor, and with the clanging of the chains he gave way. I will say here that It was anything but a pleasant sight to see a man like Jefferson Davis shedding tears, but not one word had he to say. This is very touching and very dis graceful. There was not the slightest occasion for manacling a feeble old man, shut in a strong fortress and guarded by hundreds of men perhaps. It was sim ply an act of depravity and brutality. When Capt. Titlow first came to ex ecute the brutal order President Davis protested and begged for delay, and asked to see Miles, but he bad left for Washington. Davis said it was obvious that there could be no necessity for such an order to make his imprisonment secure. I said: “My duty is to execute this order and it is folly to resist.” Davis’s answer was that he was a soldier and knew liow to die and pointing to a sentinel, said: “Let your men shoot me at once.” Dr. Craven, the northern writer, told the truth in his book. Mrs. Davis lias treated Miles precisely as he deserved. The south will not forget Miles. OEN. JACKSON’S MONUMENT. A splendid monument was unveiled at Lexington, Va , on the 21st, to the mem ory of Stonewall Jackson. The sculptor is a Virginian, Edward V. Valentine, who designed the Lee monument. The statuo is of bronze, he roic in size, and portrays Gen. Jackson with uncovered head leaning on his sword and left leg, and looking out upon a field of battle. Iu the right hand, at his side, is a field glass. The figure is clad In the full uniform of a confederate lieutenant general, with the’gold lace on the sleeves distinctly visible, and with heavy military boots and spurs. The carriage is easy, and the attitude is ono of close observation, with the right foot advanced, ready and alert for instant, vigorous action. The scabbard of the sword upon which the gauntleted left baud rests, bears tho letters “U. S.” a historical fact, as it was modeled from Gen. Jackson’s own sword. The statuo proper measures eight feet, and sur mounts a granite pedestal ten and ahalf feet high, consisting of a baso course die and capital. MURDER AND INSURANCE. An English court decides in the cose of Mrs. May brick that a wife who lias murdered hor husband is not entitled to tbe insurance money on Ids life. A somewhat similar case was recently decided by the court of appeals of New York. A boy of sixteen, knowing that his grandfather had made a will in his favor, killed the old man to get posses sion of the property. lie was convicted of murder iu the second degree and sent to tho state reformatory. Nevertheless a claim to the property under the will was prosecuted in Ids behalf. Tho lower courts and two judges of the court of appeals maintained that the boy was en titled to it. But the majority of the latter tribunal decided otherwise. “To hold,” said Judge Earl, “that a legal title to property may bo acquired by murder would be a reproach to tho juris prudence of our state and an offence against public policy.” That is evidently the reasoning which the judges adopted In the Maybriek case. Kxtxact from the speech of Con gressman Crisp before Tammany Hall on the 4tli: “Because it is tho duty of the citizens to support tho government, it does not follow that the government should support the citizens. Tho state should protect the citizen in his life, his liberty and his property. The citizen should contribute of his substance an amount sufficient to enable the state to A RINGING SPEECH. ! On the occasion of the unveiling of the statue of Stonewall Jackson in Lexing ton, Virginia, Tuesday, Gen. Jubal A. Early was the orator of the day. The venerable chieftain delivered an elo quent eulogy of his old friend and com rade, and concluded with these ringing words which should stir the heart of every Confederate veteran: “Let me conclude by saying, and let every bonest-hearted Confederate who fought bravely in the war aay, If I should ever apol ogia for any part or action taken by me in the war may the lightning of a righteous heaven blast me from the earth and mav I be considered a spawn of tbe earth by all bonest men.” The Confederacy, indeed, went down overpowered by the numbers and the resources of the Fedeial government;its flag no longer waves among the ensigns of the earth; but the principles upon which it was founded survive in the Con stitution of the United States, and they are gaining a firmer footing throughout the Union than they have had for sixty years. Defeat is not dishonor; the loss of a battle is by no means the extinction of a principle. The Union soldiers fought for tbe Union, constitution or no con stitution; the Confederates fought for the constitution, for principles, even, if need be, to the dissolution of the Union. The latter lost the battle in tbe field; their plan to preserve the principles of the constitution was overthrown. But their cause is the cause of liberty; their principles constitute the foundation of the Republic if not of the Union; but let us trust that they may underlie both. Men who fought thus can never re pent until they become traitors; they can never apologize until their manhood has withered and dried out of them. EVIDENTLY NOT TRUE. The St. Louis Republic has the fol lowing: The Associated Press credits the following to Governor Campbell, ot Ohio: If I were to offer any criticism on the part of the platform, it would be that if it declares In favor of the unlimited coinage of both na tive and foreign silver, I believe it would have been better to have lestricted the coin age to native silver. That would have been far enough lo go at present. 1o believe this, it must be believed that Governor Campbell has no more sense now than Hancock had when he backed off his platform In IMS') It l« not reasonable that Governor Campbell would cut his po itlca! throat past ho je at the outset of the cam paign. The Associated Press in Ohio Is un der Republican control, and until he Indor ses this report over his own sig nature, it will be considered a canard. Governor Campbell is too good a poli tician and too good a. Democrat to wob ble in this fashion on a plank of the platform on which lie was nominated. The statement that ho said such a thing is altogether fishy; but if it is true it does not set the governor down as in sympathy with the goldites, but as pre scribing a very moderate qualification for sllvor coinage. The campaign In Ohio will be pitched mainly on the tariff. That is true be cause tariff reform must necessarily be a leading issue in all campaigns, and par ticularly so In Ohio because McKinley is the Republican nominee for governor there. But the Democrats of Ohio also dcclaro for free and unlimited silver coinago, and of courso Governor Camp bell stands on tho platform. SAVANNAH IS FOR MR. CRISP. It is the duty of every Savannahian to use any influence ho has to help Judge Crisp’s election to the speaker’s chair. lie is the man for tho place, and we are glad to see that ho leads in the race. With Mr. Crisp in the chair Georgia con gressmen will cot fair recognition. It is a hard matter for any member who is not a veteran to got tho floor. Georgia will have a strong delegation in the fifty-second congress, and, with Mr, Crisp as speaker, and Messrs. Lester, Turner, Blount, Livingston, Watson, Moses, Winn, Pickett and Lawson on the floor, tho Savannah river will get more attention than it has ever had before, because it will have greater influence working for It.—Savannah Times. The contest for the speakership of tho next house is getting warm, ami conse quently Interesting. Tho popular idea of tho positions of the candidates has undergone a change in Washington, and now Representative Crisp is thought to have taken the lead from Mr. Mills.— Augusta News. simple. Pennsylvania is for Cleveland di , cliarg0 ;t6 fllactloD8 . The citizen first and Pettison second; and if Cleve land is’oncc out of tlie question, Patti- gon will get tbe solid Pennsylvania del egation. Us. II. C. llitotv.v, editor of the South ern Alliance Farmer, was arrested in Atlanta Wcddesday by a deputy 1’iiitcd States marshal, charged with violating the law which prohibits newspapers containing lottery advertisements going through tbe malls, Mr, Brown’s paper of June 30 contained a printed editorial from the San Francisco Examiner that deals with the constitutionality of tbe lottery law and with the case of the United States against George W. Dupree, of the Mew Orleans States, and he ad mits that it was paid for. The trial i postponed until Saturday, should not look to the government for aid or assistance in business. He should be self-reliant; lie should ask'nothing but a ‘fair Pu^d and no favor.’ That is the American idea.” Mr. Sibley of Cobb has introduced a bill in the house, which, if it becomes a law, will make ilio holders of bonds and notes pay their proportion of tlio taxes. His bill provides that it shall bo unlaw ful for any person or corporation to col lect any note or bond or the Interest thereon that does not have a collector's •tamp, showing that the same has been Returned for taxation, ff issued prior to tho first of April of each year. The bill also makes It a misdemeanor to violate its provisions. &as5h$ POWDER Absolutely Pure.
