Lamar St. and Cotton AMERICUS, GEO Washington, July 31, 1801.—"Help me, Causing, or 1 sink,” was tlie sub stance of a communication from Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, to the national ex ecutive committee of the republican party, which inct here this week. Tho story, as It is told here, is that Mr. Mc Kinley sent a very urgent appeal to the committee for a large sum of money to be used in the Ohio campaign, and that he sent along with it a very broad iptl mation that unless it was forthcoming the jig was up with both himself and the legislature in that state. lie is also said to hare suggested that the committee might easily raise tho money by putting the screws on the manufacturers specially benefited by his tariff bill. And that was not the only appeal for money presented to the committee. Mr. Clarkson told bis colleagues that un less a good sized barrel of cash was rolled into Iowa, that state would take its place permanently In tho democratic column, and Secretary Fassett presented bllls-for a considerable amount left un paid frurn last year’s disastrous cam paign. But these wero minor things, and excited but little interest compared with tho resignation of Quay, not only as chairman W the two committees, but as a member of the national committee; and tho resignation of Dudley as treas urer of both committees. There was a goad deal of pretended regret at being compelled to accept these resignations, and high-flying resolutions were adopted referring to both of them, which will probably be regarded by the retiring of ficials as “vindications.” Mr. Harrison tried to stem tho Blaine tide which controls the republican com mlttee by appointing one of its mem bers—J. Bloat Fassett—to be collector of the port of Now York, in place of Er- liardt, whose resignation lias been ac cepted. Harmony of the monks/- and parrot kind la prevalent in the treasury depart ment just now. At least three of Secre tary Foster's most Important subordl nates would hall with pleasure the news that he had resigned, and thoy would resign themselves if it wasn't for the fact of their having to give up their sal artes If they did. The subordinates mentioned aro Assistant Secretary Crounse, Treasurer Ncbckor and Iraml gration Commissioner Owens, all of whom are recent arrivals at tho govern ment trough. The trouble with the first two Is that Mr. Foster, with the warning of the Baum case fresh in. hit mind, refused to allow them to appoint their sons to bo their private secreta ries; and Mr. Owens Is disgruntled be cause his opinion that Welch tin-plate workers could be bruught to the United States undor contract, without violating the alien contract law, has been repudi ated by the secretary, who has written another letter to tho party who made the inquiry, stating that tao depart ment was not prepared at this time to answer hypothetical questions, such as the one propounded. It Is said that Mr, Foster also took oacasion to give Hr. Owens a very sharp lecture on the duties of subordinate officials. Mr. Wanamaker has led a delegation of Alabamians, headed by Senators Mor gan and l'ugh, to believe that he would favorably consider their request to make Mobile one of the porta from which a subsidized line of steamships will run to South America. With a great flourish of trumpets the announcement is made that a reciproci ty treaty has been negotiated with the mighty republic of San Domingo, which will go into effect September 1, Members of the administration have already begun to discuss the ways and means of raising the money thr.t it will l>e necessary to have in the near future to meet pension payments under the present laws. Somo sort of a new tax has got to bo imposed, and the most of them seem inclined to put it upon whis ky, by raising the revenue from DO cents per gallon to something between $1.20 and $1.50 per gallon. However, all that the administration can do la to mako suggestions; the democratic house of representatives will determine wbat shall be done. Senator Sherman’s friends are trying hard to mate it appear that they look lightly upon the opposition of the far mers’ allianea to bis re-election; bat in reality they regard It aa aneh a serious matter that unless they can apnaead, in latching up some aoi t of a reconciliation store long, one of them said that Sher man would be .compelled to withdraw. In order to nave himself the ignominy of defeat. Had Mr. Harrison been able to circu late, Incognita, among the prominent republican politicians who were here this week, consequent upon the meeting of the national executive committee, he would certainly have arrived at the con clusion that he waa no longer “in it," as far as a nomination is concerned. It was unquestionably a Blaine week in Wash ington, and if the national committee can bring it about, Blaine it to be nomi nated, and one of their number—Col. Conger of Ohio—is authority for the statement that be will aeeept the nomi nation If It is tendered him. Tlie llatelmll Challenge Accepted, and the Force* In Battle Array. Just as Tub Times-Rkcordkii feared, ; there will be trouble nex. Tuesday after noon. Tiio following defiant document has a ring in itBiiggcstlveof “no foolish ness," on that occasion, on the part of tlie “Kniglits of tho Yardstick.” What the outcome of this hostile meeting will be is locked in tlie womb of time, and no man can guess the result. Tiie Timks-Rkcordkr prefers to remain neu tral, but would suggest to tlie spectators who will view this battle of the bats, to give tlie combatants plenty of room. The prospective widow of the unplro will be on the grounds, to sec that tho remains of tho unfortunate gentleman are all gathered up in proper shape. May tho wildest team win. “Cash?

By demanding’ that the railroads should make a substantial reduction on coal rates and by standing to Chairman Trammell's declaration that unless the railroads did this the commission would cut off from their local tariffs enough to counteract the effect of their increased revenues from inter-state rates on coal. It was a bold stand, but a Just one, and tho people of Georgia appreciate the keen outlook which tho commission has kept for thelrintcrests. Tbeso reductions aro largely In favor of intermediate stations. ‘ . For Instance: The reductions to in termediate points on the Central and Georgia roads will arerage from 20 to 35 cents per ton, dependent upon the mines shipped from and the points shipped to, Thera is a redaction ■ of 35 cents per ion on all steam coal not shipped direct to manufacturers and railroads. SPEAKING OF PEOPLE. A Deserved Promotion. Tho office of master of trains lias been abolished by the Savannah, Americus <fc Montgomery railroad, and all trainmen will make their reports to 'Mr. Charles S, Adams, who has been appointed ^ 0Be hour over tho old schedule, chief train dispatcher of the entire eye- tem, with his office in Americas. This will bo good nows to tho many friends of Mr. Adams, for he is an acknowl edged social favorije, as well as one of | the most popular young business men of tbe city. His deserved promotion shows that he la highly esteemed by tbe S. A. 4 M. management. Atlanta, Augn*t 1.—This morning Mr. Atkinson moved to reconsider the action of the house yesterday in defeat ing the bill to provide tot the appoint' ment of a board of lady visitors to tlie State Female College at Milledgoviiie. He urged, his motion in a forcible speech showing the justice and fairness of the hill, as well as the benetlts to accrue to the institution, for wo want girls from the middle and poor classes and a lady visitor from each congressional district whose heart was in the work, and who would aid these poor women in obtain ing an education and becoming bread winners, would aid in accomplishing this as man could not. The bill only calls for .a pittance to be appropriated to defray tho expenses of this board from their homes to Milledgevllle once a year, and there will be only one member from each congressional district, Mr. Wliltffold said lie was so greatly impressed with tho importance of the bill that he was amazed at the action of| for Americas, the honsa yesterday In defeating the bill There seemed to be no objection Against appointing tbe ladies, but itwaacentered against tho small appropriation. “You send out committees to inspbet convicts and felons, to inquire into how they are treated, and pay the expenses of those committees, and yet you are un willing to pay tho expenses of a commit tee to go to your female college, Ailed with girls, to Inquire how they aro man aged and taught and how the state ap propriation is being spent. Give the girls tbe samo protection you give your convicts.” Mi. Sears said lie voted against the hill yesterday, and that be yiolded to no man in his devotion and respect to the fair women of this land, yet he saw no necessity for the bill, and for that rea son he still opposed the bill. It is a per sistent effort to call for more money and to take more money from the overbuy dened taxpayers. You have a board of trustee* to look after this institution, and it la their bus- inea* to look after It Tbe board of viaitora fa only an honorary attach ment Mr. Berner raid the only objection urged against this small appropriation is that It ls'useleas and unnecessary, is it useless and unnecessary to appropri ate but $300 for tbe womanhood of Georgia ? The women of Georgia pay about one-half of the taxes of the state; they pay the per diem of the gentleman who has just spoken against the bill, and for tbe tlmo he has taken In opposing the bill. It Is right for those who pay the taxea to have something In return, and now they only ask for $3Q0 to defray the expenses of eleven women to look after theonly Institution owned by the state and devoted to tbe elevation and advancement of women. Georgia 3* 100 years old, and yet only within two years Is the first time that tbe state has over appropriated a dollar to educate a single woman, and yet the women of this sta e have contributed to make us great We want the mother hood of Georgia to go to the institution where their daughter* are educated, to inspect and see If there are any Influ ences that their daughter* should not he surrounded by, and for. this reason I want them to go. Mr. Randolph called for tbe previous question, and said that he was opposed to the bill; that It was unnecessary, and be would say to the gentleman from Monroe that he showed his appreciation early In life by marrying and helping to contribute taxes to support this Insti tution, The yeas and nays were called, and resulted in U3 yeas and 36 nays; so the motion to reconsider was carried. A member from one of the lower counties has received a petition asking him to Introduce a bill to prevent boys and girls from sitting together In Zion church The petition recites that It in terferes with the proper preaching of tho gospel, and desires the bill passed at the “earliest possible moment,” The member ha* not yet decided what to do about It.
