There are now forty seven prison ers in Chatham county jail. Savannah is healthy and clean and is observing a strict quarantine. Mr John I. Rockwell dted of con sumption in Valdosta Friday night. A number of Brunswickians hhve just concluded to take their little summer trip. Albany has received more than six hundred bales of new cotton the present season. A monster rattle snake as big as a man’s thigh, and six feet long, was killed near Baxley recently. Derry Polk, colored, was killed bv Charley Washington, colored, at Obhlocknee Thomas county, on Sat urday. The Ocala Capitolis trying some of the so-called democrats in Florida in the firery furnace. Some of them are being found sadly wanting. Martin L. Hiann, mate of the schooner, H. J. Blcndermau, fell overboard anil was drowned near Brunswick on Thursday last. Waycross quarantined a car load of lumber that came from Bruns wick, saying that they could not stand even yellow pine.—Albany Herald. The Boston World asks: Has Thomas county a Democratic execu tive committee; if so which one is it? We can answer the question without difficulty from this distance. It is the committee which is composed of Democrats. The man who can pay a large bill these days, smile, and then ask the collector to have a seat and a cigar, and talks aboat the bright future, is the man who advertises.—Albany Herald. The Telegram, Savannah’s new daily, lias been placed in the hands of a receiver, but the publication of the paper still continues. We hope the Telegram will come out of its troubles all right. Usurers, the Sbylocks, the men who fatten on the community’s mis fortune, had best lay low during the present public temper. The general spirit of the hour is to bear and for bear, and this is being thoroughly re alized.—Birmingham Age-Herald. Waycross has an aveoud called “Albany.” It must be a hustling thoroughfare.—Albany News. Albany avenue takes its name from the Artesian City, and for that rea son always keeps up with the proces sion. It is now thought that in all proba bility Dr. Branham contracted yellow fever from germs in a uniform coat, which he wore for the first time in a long while, in Brunswick. He wore the coat while inspecting yellow fever cases in New York two or three years ago. The Florida Talleliassean says that s number of intelligent negroes in that section recently called on Governor Mitchell and expressed their surprise and regret at the con tents of nn editorial that appeared in The Floridian of Saturday last advo cating the deportation of the negroes. Mr. J. J. Doolan has been ap pointed business manager of the Tel egram. This is a decided change for the better. It is impossible to successfully manage a daily paper without having brains and experi ence at its bead, and Mr. Doolan has both.—Savannah Telegram. The friends of The Telegram need have no fee r about its future. The efforts to destroy it by those who should have sacrificed everything for its advantage, if for nothing else than their personal reputation, has signally failed, and now, that it has been released from the coils, its suc cess is assured.—Savannah Tele gram. I The Atlanta Journal says “nothing | but an artist can draw money now.” The business portion of the town of White Plains was destroyed by fire yes terday. The Macon News wants the authori ties of that city to quarantine against Brunswick. The business men of Albany are act ing in a straight forward determined manner and their action is receiving fa vorable comment. A crazy negroes capers caused much excitement in Albany day before yester day. He cleaned up the town with a baseball bat and defied the police. He was finally captured and jailed. While all this fuss is going on at Washington over the silver question the boa constrictor protective tariff is get ting in its work on the eonntrv.—Al bany Herald. Notwithstanding that Albany has a number of artesian wells, and is known as the Artesian City, complaints are be ing made of an inadequate water supply. We hope Albany will not be compelled to go back to fit st principles. ‘ There are two kinds of Democrats now—Clevelandites and Democrats who stand squarely on the Democratic plat form on which President Cleveland and the Fifly-third congress were elected. The Herald will be found in the line with those who stick to the platform as long as there is a plank of the structure left.—Albany Herald. SPEECH OFJOORBEES. The Senate Chairman of the Finance Committee. EE EUIiO&IZED THE PRESIDENT. .*T»U Ma<le a M the Wabash' a for the Repeal l*urchasiug All Sorts. A pathethic instance is related of a poor old woman who had just seen the ocean for the first time. She was asked by her son. “What do you think of the sea?” “Think,” replied the old dame, after a long pause. “I can’t think, I can only thank Provi dence for Having shown me some thing in my life of which there seems to be enough snd to spare.” The city of New York, the popula tion of which is now beyond 2,000,- 000, must within a very few years, predicts the New York vSun, be the second largest city in the world. The next census will most likely show its population to be greater than that of Paris. This city is growing more rapidly than any of the other chief cities of the world. There were but 60,000 people here at the opening of the century; now there are over 2,- 000,000. General Gordon declares to the editor of the Griffin News that if congress refuses to come up square ly and promptly to the relief of the people by the enactment of laws to that end, that he would announce up on the floor of the senate that he would never again raise his voice in support of the party, though it would kill him politically and otherwise. Democracy, he said, now has the grandest opportunity ever offered a national party of benefiting the peo ple, and if it shirked the duty it would die eternally. — Augusta Even ing News. Concluding the story eolitled “Omega,”or “The Last Days of the Earth,” the writer says: “The earth no longer existed, nor her celestial companion, the little isle of Mars, nor the beautiful sphere of Venus, nor the colossal world of Jupiter, nor the strange system of Saturn, which bad lost its rings, nor the slow-moving Uranus and Nep tune—not even the glorious sun, in whose fecundating heat these man sions of the heavens had basked for so many centuries. The sun was a dark ball, the planets also, and still this invisible system sped on in the glacial cold of starry space. So far as life is concerned, all these worlds were dead—did not exist. They sur vived their past history like the rains of the dead cities of Assyria which the archaeologist uncovers in the des ert, moving on their way in darkness through the invisible and the un known.” The man who hasn’t an opinion of his own on the silver question which differs from everybody else,* is out of the fashion. Silver went up two cents yesterday. Perhaps Livingston’s speech did it. Congress, the Chicago exposition and the yellow fever scare, divide the attention of the reading public. Act by Sherman. Washington, Aug. 24.—The speech of Senator Y<*>rhees upon his repeal loll in troduced jin the senate last wa* an able, logical and effective effort. The sp&ch had been prepared by him in advance and he delivered it from type written sheets. But it was spoken with all energy and vehemence that Mr. Voor- hees has ever displayed in a speech be fore the senate. From the first sentence he commanded the close and earnest at tention of senators on both sides of the chamber, and of an unusually large au dience in the galleries. He had not been speaking more than a quarter of an hour when he noticed Mr. Stewart rise as if to pnt a question or in terpose a remark, and he prevented that by stating that he declined in advance to yield to any interruptions, and that he would have to appeal to the chair for protection in his right to the floor. He then resumed the delivery of bis speech, but had not made much further progress before he was again interrupt ed, this tiihe by an outburst of applause in the galleries, following an encomium of President Cleveland. This breach of proprieties of the place and occasion was checked liy Vice President Stevenson, who threatened to have the galleries cleared if the offense should be repeated. Mr. Voorhees said that while the calm, unbiased public opinion of a great ma jority of the American people, irrespect ive of parties, had justified the action of the president in convening the extra ses sion, the causes for the action were widely and dangerously misunderstood, and by certain classes purposely misrei>- resented. Therefore he deemed fitting a few words in explanation, spoken in no spirit of strife or controversy. For five months had gone up the voice of the prophet of* financial-evils: from the great money centers had bminated cruel edicts contracting the currency and resulting in panic. No one _ believed there was a want of confidence in the government credit or in the stability of its currency. Not withstanding the empty treasury left by the last administration and the record of a bullion dollar congress, the American credit is 1 letter now than that of any other country on the globe, and even cowardly capital seized upon our Iwinds with swift greed. Investors of capital complained that the administration had declined to issue at least $300,000,000 more bonds. This additional indebted ness. increasing the burdens of American labor, would lie hailed with the keenest delight and swept with avidity into un patriotic vaults by the parties who most loudly declaimed against the government credit. There were many reasons why our credit should be stronger now than ever before. It rested on the alisolnte unity of purpose of the American people that it should be upheld. After reference to the fact that no age in the history of the country compared even in a remote degree with the present, as an age of progress and development, the speaker referred to the tariff as the “giant evil” which robbed the country of much of its greatness, and expressed the belief that it would soon be removed. He then referred to the fact that gold was nothing but a medium for the ex change of values, and that the official stamp of its creator—the government— was all that gave it worth. Paper was made equally as good, when once stamped, and there were, in all, nine mediums of exchange in this coun try, and all of them were in harmony and worked smoothly, and the national credit has been maintained in a degree that challenged the pride of every Amer ican citizen. Mr. Voorhees said he had referred to these things to illustrate the power and dnty of the government in furnishing sound, reliable and constitutional money for the people. At this jiomt. he said, he was confronted - by a law without precedent or parallel in American his tory; a law which for months past had been the theme of all tongues and pens, and in whose name financial panic and disaster had been invoked and for whose repeal this congress had been convened. Mr. Voorhees briefly sketched the birth of the law. which resulted from a com promise and said that in an evil hour— the worst and darkest that ever befell the cause of bimettalllsm .or the honor and existence of silver money'—this per nicious compromise was accepted and fastened on the country. He advocated the repeal of the meas ure and denied the charge that he who voted for its repeal was an enemy of sil ver. In this,silvers darkest hour, he proclaimed Ids faith in the white metal and lielieved it would still stand, one of the world’s factors in Imsmess. The question has been asked whether a vote should be given for its uncondi tional repeal or whether a substitute must be agreed upon before. Mr. Voor hees would at once eradicate this con fessed evil from the body of our laws, with no other condition than his right and free agency to support and to secure in connection with its repeal, or after wards by an independent measure the success of its immediate repeal. The primary duty of the hour might at the time dictate. a sound financial system, embracing the coinage • of silver on an equality with gold. In making this statement he only repeated the declara tion of the Chicago platform on which the American people restored to the presidency one oi me strongest, auiesi purest and most patriotic characters ever known to American history. ' Mr. Voorhees. at this point, quoted the financial plank of the Chicago platform, and. saying that the record did not stop at this ixiint, quoted from President Cleveland's letter of acceptance, which he said was in no wise modified or con tradicts! by the singularly able message delivered a few days ago. He said that it contained in four brief sentences even- sound. wholesome, enduring principle of finance ever known in the history of the most pros]»erous nation of the earth. Who dared, in th“ face cf the clear and explicit words wlich he read, to charge that their author was a monometalist in disguise, a believer in the use of gold imd gold alone, but wearing for the sake of an election to the presidency, a bimetallic mask? His fearless frankness in the ex pression of his views on all public ques tions without regard to the effect upon himself had long been conceded by friend and foe to l>e the leading characteristic of his mind. He had never recalled, retracted or ex plained a single word of his letter of ac ceptance. and it was just as binding as when first given to the world. He. Voor hees. was willing to stand or fall by liis faith in the ti*utli and honor of Grover Cleveland, and in his wellknown fidelity to pledges when once they are made. John G. Carlisle was the peer in intellect and spotless integrity of any of the illus trious statesmen who had held the port folio of finance, including Hamilton, and he made uo mistake in placing him as a bimetalist. Debate Still Goes On. Washington, Aug. 24.—The house j met at 10 o'clock, and the silver debate \ was opened at once by C. W T . Stone, of I Pennsylvania, who spoke for repeal and i adjured the members to disregard parti- 6an feeling in dealing with the subject. Mr. Covert, of New York, pleaded for unconditional repeal, and comparing sil ver to a faithful servant fallen into bad habits, held that nothing would suffice to restore it but the gold cure. Mr. Fitch, of New York, followed in the same line. Dalzell contended for the repeal of the purchase act and ascribed all difficulties of the present situation to Democratic hostility to the tariff. Mr. Hatch, in speaking in favor of free coinage, advocated a caucus of Dem- l ocrats of the house and senate to inter- ! pret the Chicago platform—every man of ! whom would pledge “his life, fortune I and his sacred honor” to abide by the | decision. | The i-ommittee on ways and means held its first meeting. All the members were present. Chairman Wilson was authorized to appoint sub-committee*/ clerks and other employes. Tuesdays and Fridays were fixed as the regular meeting days. Before adjourning. Chairman Wilson requested the* members to consider be fore the next meeting a plan of proceed- ure for the committee in its work,wheth- r not healings shall lie given persons interested in the tariff, how and when the bill shall be reported, etc. In the Senate. Among the bills introduced in the sen ate was one by Mr. Pasco, as a substi tute for the minority bill of the finance committee (proposing silver coinage at 20. to 1). The substitute proposes a com mission of three citizens of the United States to ascertain and report before Jan uary, 1894. the intrinsic relative value of gold and silver, and that on that report the secretary of the treasury shall fix and determine the ratio. The president sent to the senate the nomination of Joshua F. Dodge, of Wis consin, to be assistant attorney general, vice William A. Mawry, resigned. Secretary Gresham and Minister Blount liad another long conference over Hawaiian affairs at the state depart ment. Tlw Tim*-* Are Brightening. Washington.

He Slipped In on the People—May Run for Governor. Washington, Aug. 24.—Ex-Minister Blount slipped into town Tuesday after noon. and has since that time been al most in a continual conference with Sec retary Gresham. He is looking splen didly and is in excellent spirits. The re port which Minister Blount makes is of course a secret. He is also uncommuni cative as to Georgia affaire. He is anxious to return home and will probably do so in a few days. He only smiled in answer to the question whether or not he would enter the gubernatorial contests in Georgia, but his friends here are firmly of the impression that he will look over the field carefully, and when he sees what the prospects are he will de cide. It is believed here to mean that he will be a candidate. A Failure in Teuu. San Marcos, Tex.. Aug. 23.—The First National bank has suspended payment by order of the directors.
