Howell is in editor- in-chief, this morning published the fo'lowing among its editorial para graphs: Capt. Evan P. Howell will not accept the appointment as Consul to Manchester, and has forwarded to the President his formal decline Cotton Insurance. The Southeastern Tariff Asso ciation, of Atlanta, has issued the following circular, which is of inter est to cotton men : We deem it well to make timely announcement as to the course wc shall recommend to tbe Associa tion, at its annual meeting this summer, in regard to insurance of cotton risks during the coming sea son; that all parties interested may prepare their property lor such rate as they sec proper to let it pay MB.

Considerable surprise is express ed licic in political circles at the promptness with whicli Walter appears in our General Tariff has been in operation two years, and will be continued in its entirety and perfection, hut the first two “Amendments made at Old Point Comfort” will doubtless be rescind ed.

Nelms, Principal Keeper of the State Peni tentiary. will be successor of Bry ant as United States Marshal,when Brynnt goes out. As Bryunt holds a commission for four years he may not vacate untill his term expires. Col. J. W. ltcnfroc was very anx ious to go into the Marsbalship office, but has withdrawn his claims at the instance of friends, and it is now believed that Nelms will have a walk over. Crenshaw’s appointment. Mr. Crenshaw,recently appointed Collector of Internal Revenue, was an applicant for the Marsbalship, and was indorsed by the Legisla ture to a man. To get him out ol the way it is said that he was in duced to take the collectorsbip, a position that he had not applied lor. Wclborn Colquitt, at onetime a resident of Savannah, and now connected with tbe Collector’s of fice, it is understood, will have an important position under Crenshaw, The new Collector has scores of applicants for positions. COST OF THE HALL TEAM. It is claimed that the Atlanta base ball team is the highest priced in the Southern League. Nine of the eleven mon that constitute the club get $125 per month, tbe re maining two get $100 each,and the manager, G. A. Sclunclls, is paid the snug sum of $200 per month. Tbe first fines imposed upon ball players for violation of rules of the Southern League were put upon two of Atlanta’s players a few days since while playing a game with the Cincinnati Clippers. Two o( the men showed up a little under the influence of liquor, and the manager, upon noticing tbeir con dition, fined them $25 each. Tbe Atlantas were alter Fitzgerald, but Columbus beat them and captured “our Fitz.” About l’oslmasters. Oultm.iiFiro Prow. Dr. Arnold, tbe postmaster at Albany, bas done the graceful thing and tendered his resignation. Tbe doctor says be feels that the Democrats have won tho victory and to them belongs tbe offices. He also remarks, with a confident, air, says the Medium: “Wuen we beat you four years hence we will insist on making a clean sweep as you are now doing.” Tbe doctor is doubtless making a virtue of ne cessity. He forscetb tbe evil day and providetb against it. Never theless, bis aotion in tbe matter bas to some extent tbe appearance of being decent and graceful. He knows tbat tho people of Albany intend to put in a Democrat and is convinced that it toill be done, so be puts the best face on tbe matter possible and steps down and out. We commend tho example of this sensible person to tbe incumbent, Mr. S. M. Griffin, at this place. He bas already said that be expect ed to be deposed and it may be that be intends to resign. He cer tainly bas tbat privilege. At any rate there can be no doubt that charges sufficient can and will be preferred against Mr. Griffin to secure bis removal. His partisan ship in politics, local, State and National, is sufficient cause for bis official decaptation if there is noth ing else against him. Such Works at the Near Approach of Spring. The readers of tho papers every- where are, no doubt, acquainted by this time with tbe fact that the world-renowned Louisiana State Lottery draws on the second Tues day of every month, (the next on April 14th, will be the 171th Grand Drawing) at New Orleans, La., but they should also take note that $205,500 will be scattered among 'those who buy tickets at $5.00 each, or $1.00 fractional parts, of which they can learn fully on ap plication to M. A. Dauphin, New Orleans, La. lms been taken of the Companies during the past season in regard to it, and the system does not yield the reciprocal benefit which was contemplated. Warehousemen must therefore lie informed that their property will be rated strictly on'the cubic measurement basis as set forth in the Tariff. It is there fore essentially necessary that compartment wnlis be erected, and that no more space be allotted to Cotton Storage than is necessary for the demands of each Ware house. Wooden Floors will be al lowed in Close Warehouses, or under Sheds in “Open” Warehous es as has been done this year. Thirdly. The 25 per cent, re duction granted on Cotton Ware house Buildings will be annulled, or at best, is will be limited to those properties where a warranty is incorporated in the policies, that no cotton will be allowed on the premises between certain months, to be stated in the policy. Tiie marked iinpiovement which has been made at several points under the stimulus of our work, of our work, will surely encourage to renewed and extended effort, and we can already see the result ant benefits to communities, and reciprocally to ourselves. We beg to renew our tender of plans and specifications and esti mate ol cost of a Standard Ware house for 1,000 bales, and wc are ready at all times to assist, in all possible manner, those who dcsirj to conform to the standard wc prescribe, in order to secure the minimum o( rate. hen. laivton at W ashington. turn- j ed over to the Marine Bank. Mr. ! : Fish personally discounted Grant j * Ward’s notes at 8 per cent., and | had them rediscounted by tbe Ma- ] ; rine Bank at C or 7 per cent. The | accounts of tbe “contract loan” transactions between the Marine Bank and Grant & Ward showed that Grant * Ward were charg-d for the use ol money us much us from 50 to 159 percent, per annum. Mr. Fish was asked what Was the reason for the Marine Bank charg ing Grant * Ward these large sums for the use of money when Grant A Ward could have borrowed else where at regular rates. The witness seemed much embar rassed, and alter a long pause answered that two ot the reasons were that Grant * Ward could afford to pay and the bank wnnted the sums charged. The bank only- charged these large amounts on contract loans. The contracts were the basis of the security' on which the money was lent. The witness had every confidence that tbe con tracts were all right. The reason lie did not enter on the books as interest the whole amount charged for the use of the money lent was because it would have not been desirable to have it published that such large interests were charged. The reason that no reference to these contracts appeared on the books was because it would not have been practicable,and it would not have been satisfactory to the directors.

Wasiiinoton, AprilG.- Gen. A. R. Lawton arrived bore to-day. He is the guest of Richard T. Merrick. Ills ease will he considered by the Cabinet to morrow. The Attorney General’s opinion to the effect tbat the Johnson pardon removed his political disabilities will then be read, and bis appointment as Min ister to Russia will be finally deter mined upon. Gen. Lawton had a very satis factory interview this afternoon with President Cleveland and Sec retary Bayard. He told the Presi dent that he wished to relieve him from all embarrassment, and therefore hoped that be would act in regard to his case just as though he had never sent his nomination to the Sonate. Gen. Lawton also called, together with Minister to England Phelps, upon Secretary Lamar. While nothing is yet known of what the out come will be in Gen. Lawton’s case, the impression seems to be that tbe administration will reach tbe conclusion tbat there is nothing in the way of Gen. Law- ton ]| going to St. Petersburg, pro vided be will accept tbe mission. It is stated tbat Col. Clifford W. Anderson, of Savannah, will be appointed Consul at Manchester, England, in place Evan P. Howell, Atlanta,declined. Col. Anderson’s indorsers aro very influential, so cially as well as polically. The President bas made no plans for tbo summer. The Southern Democrats want him to go South. The Northwestern want him to go to the lakes. The Californians have been talking about the Pacific coast to him. He would like to go to Atlauta In May, and then, proba bly, take no other outing, except a month or six weeks in the Adiron- daks. But he cannot determine what he will do until he returns— whether his duties will permit him to leave at all, and, if so, when. He likes tho Soldiers’ Home, even in its gray winter garb, and could make himself very comfortable there if he felt constrained to remain in town. The Atlanta coroner had a busy time Wednesday. No less than four sudden deaths occurred on tbnt day—two whites and two colored. Heart disease is becoming danger ously frequent in tbat city. In all South American cities eti quette prohibits ladies from going shopping or upon the atrects, even in daytime, without escorts. Mr Crutches Hone. I have suffered from rheumatism for seven or eight years. For one year I was compelled to use crutch es. I tried various remedies, espeei ally every sort of liniment, but none of them did me any good. 1 saw in the newspapers an adver tisement of Swift’s Specific for rheumatism, and resolved to try it. i have taken four bottles. After 1 j bad taken it awile I was enabled to throw away my crutches. I com menced using Swift’s Specific last November, and have had no furth er use for crutches, and only suffer a little at limes now, and would not have suffered at all if I had continued to take the medicine. My experience with liniments is tbat they are of but little benefit, and that only temporary. The disease is in the blood and must be eradi cated, and that is tbe reason I took S. S. S. It is the best blood puri fier I ever used. Mrs. Mary Park. Benton, Ark., Feb. 10,1885. The Youngest Can Use It. My child, when about one month old, was afflicted with a dreadful breaking out on tbe side of bis face. I took him to tbe doctor, who did not think there was much the mat ter, but the child continued to grow worse. The little fellow was suffering so much and was so fret ful that we had no rest night or day. We consulted other physi cians and they did what they could, but brought no relief to the little sufferor, I tried everything at hand or tbat I could hear of, but without tbe desired effect. About this time I saw an advertisement of Swift’s Specific. It was recom mended for skin diseases. I pur chased four bottles. Tbe first bot tle did him a great deal of good. After using the third bottle tbe dis ease entiiely disappeared, and tbe child is now perfectly well. I would recommend S. S. S. as a houschold|rcmcdy, as it has brought both health and happiness to my own. Ciias. W. Samuel, Bruington, King and Queen Coun ty, Feb. 11, 1885. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis eases mailed free.
