” The Survival of the Fittest.'
DOMINATIONS FOR THE LEGISLATURE
The Citizen thinks that idea of nom
inating a ticket for the Legislature will
ijyork great harm to the party in Burke
County, There is no par'y without or
ganization, and there is a virtual surren
der, if the organization chooses not to
nominate. The last' election was the
most quiet one ever held in Burke Coun
ty aud the nominated ticket was elecied.
If there is a full meeting on the fourth,
and the democmcy should conclude to
nominate for the legislature, the dissen
sions will amount to very little.—Her
ald.
We copy the above paragraph from
the last issue of our city contemporary,
in which we must conclude there was an
intentional misconstruction of our re
marks upon nominations for the Legis
lature last week. To show the dis
crepancy between what we really did say
and the wilful misrepresentations put
upon our words by the Herald, we re
produoe our words of last week upon
the subject of nominations in Burke
county for candidates for the Legisla
ture, and leave the fair minded reader
to judge between us. Our words were :
It. has generally been understood that
there were to be no nominations made
for the Legislature, and for ’he s ke of
harmony, we would say 10 our leaders
that the utmost caution is necessary
light here. If a false step is made in j another
this matter, the party will be lorn up
THE WOOL POOL.
Albany News.
Bv yesterday’s mail to the News
and Advertiser came the following
letter:
“Alapaha, Ga., June 14, 1882.—
Mr. H. M. Mclntodi, Albany, Ga.—
Dear Sir : I inclose an article taken
from yesterday’s News a»d Adver*
tiser, and would like very much to
know all the particulars, as we have
all we have bought on hand. I have
been satisfied of a comh>i,iti »M all the
while, and for that reason have n t
offered a pound for sale. If you
will take the trouble to give the de
sired information I wi 1 i be very
much obliged. Verv truly yours,
W.'S. Walker.”
In this letter WHS enclosed the fol
lowing item, taken from a recent
issue of the News and Advertiser :
A wool pool has been uncovered,
so, if you can, it would be better to
hold your wool awhile.
When this item was written the
writer had it in his head that our
local buyers were in a little scheme
to gather up the fleece produced in
this section at a nominal price—far
below its value. Since its appear
ance we have been inquiring particu
larly, and every buyer informed us
that he knew nothing of any pool.
He does not know but there is a
pool governing the price of wool
remote from him. It. is in Bo-ton,
Mass., the great wool market of the
union. There the brokers have
everything in their hands. The dif
ferent States are apportioned out,
and the one who buys fleece from one
State will not touch the product of
For instance, you go to
Boston with wool. “Where are you
by the most violeut distensions, its uni- irom ?” asks the buver to whom you
ty ofaction des voyed and even i s sue
ce,-s rendered doubtful.
The above paragraph contains all the
words for which the Herald reads us
so sharp a lesson. I hey were meant
for words of warning, which we here and
naw reiterate; neither can the most
acute and searching analysis discover a
single word or sentiment in opposition to
‘ thatIdea” of nominations, as is assert
ed by the Herald. We know the sen
timent 0 of the Independent Democracy
of Burke county well enough to know
that they will not bear any foolishness
or tricks, and if any unfair action is at
tempted at the mass meeting to be held
here on the 4th prox., it requires nei her
a prophet or the son of a prophet to fore
tell the result. Only a few weeks ago
the Herald published a notice saying
there would be no nominations for the
Legislature, but now evidently favors
a full nomination. Was that para
graph intended to lull the people into
security and deceive them at the last,
or has a change really “come over the
spirit of his dream ?” We pause for a
reply.
If a nomination for candidates for
ihe Legislature was intended, why were
the people led to believe that no such
nominations would take place—why
were they not put upon notice, so they
might come prepared to act intelligibly ?
The thing has a bad look, and the Her
ald may find the “dissensious” more
serious than it now appears to appre
hend.
But the Herald says that “the last
election was the most quiet one ever
held in Burke county, and the nomina
ted ticket was elected.” The Herald
knows well that the nominations then
made were by primary election, aud that
every candidate nominated was an In
dependent and already in the field. Not
one of them cared “a hill of beans” if
he was nominated or not. That dodge
will not do, Mr. Herald, and when it
is attempted to deceive the people un
der the subtilly worded notice calling
mass meeting, aad “hiding the hook
the bait” with the words “and attend
other matters of interest to the par-
l” we feel satisfied that serious disa-
reement must be the result. Our
|ioe is for harmony in the party both
[feeling and ac ion ; and to that end
again utter a note of warning to the
^lers to act with caution, and we call
every Democrat of Burke county
lise uhove faction, and to aid us in
[ preservation of unity, the saving of
party from defeat and ruin. This
be accomplished bv honest ao*
the sacrifice of personal oiniins
sferments for the good of all.

MR. STEPHENS ONCE MORE.
Brutus’ assumed humility is crowned by a
vanity which is truly apalling. And the griev
ance which he expresses, together with a desire
to apologize for intruding upon time and space
without edification either to your readers or
myself, bring me aguin before you. In the first
place I feel that a reflect rg public will bear me
out in stating that Brutu •’ attack upon my first
article was totally unjustifiable—his style and
tenc r provoking—and his personating me ad the
Doctor was without excuse. I call it attack be
cause there was nothing to reply to. A mutual
friend Informed me who he was, and my con
sideration for youthful indiscreetness, together
with the fast friendship of over a quarter of a
century for his father, prevented a very differ
ent reply to the one published. Disinterested
part os can but consider prejudice as the father
of his communication, whose verdict will estab
lish the inexpediency of said "alleged” reply.
1 have too much regard for education, the sole
progenitor of a decent aristocracy, one which
even dethroned reason while exciting pity and
sympathy, does not depose to cast any “slur”
upon it or the diploma which is merely a certifi
cate of educational qualification.
Nothing lias ever emanated from me to retard
the progress of any one, I would make, and
have made, personal sacrifice to advance rather
♦ban place an obstacle in ones pathway to fu
ture glory. There were no principles to “elimi
nate" in my article. It was merely expressive
of my unqualified admiration of Mr. S., nor
did he do any more than accuse him of palpable
duplicity, besides later to show the wtiys of his
prejudice. Prejudice? Yes, and nothing more !
I still say that men of no political experience
have the right, not legal, but so far as qualifi
cation is Concerned, to oppose not only Mr. 8.
or any other politi jian. Would it not he pre
sumption to differ with “civiale” upon the pro
priety of a surgical operation, or Dr. Battle in
regard to the operation which has established
him a man in his profession and woman’s best
friend? Brutus’opinion of “my poor wit and
ill-expressed humor" will not make me die any
the sooner. The‘‘stench to his nostrils” must
be the rotten eggs that have hursted which he
hurled at Mr. S. My nauseaous communication
and \ague and indefinite reply 1 trust, will, like
epicac, produce temporary nausea with result
ant good. So he may cast aside the "nostrum’’
and in its place attain knowledge and wait
upon experience which will prove the panacea
of ail his ills, the schniderian membrane includ
ed. I do not propose to act as B’s. counsellor.
But 1 am assured that B. has made a mistake in
the outset of his career as a correspondent’
which a few years of mental and social attri
tion with the world will prove true to him,—
Correct it and his opportunity to take a stand
for his own and his country’s good is favorable ;
continue thus and he will find himself with an
incubus of huge proportions through life’s
journey.
As to my taking anything as a “miserable sub
terfuge" to avoid the true issue in any case or
cause I deny. I belong to neither the subter
fuge nor refuge class, but where justice,
humanity and a sense of duty has called, echo
does not answer. D.

New York, June 20.—The Herald
has the following particulars of the
discovery of T.eLong’s partv : After
Melville reached the neighborhood
where Ninderman and N«»ros left
DeLong, he found the wreck of a
scow, and soon came upon a rifle
barrel supported by a few sticks.—
Digging near these sticks they found
two bodies under eight feet of fine
snow. Exploring further, Melville
found a tent, camp kett ! e and re
mains, and approaching, nearly stum
bled upon DeLong’s hand, sticking
out of the snow about thirty feet,
from the edge of the bank. Here,
under a loot of snow, they found the
bodies of DeL'»ng and Ambler, about
three feet apart, with Sam lying at
their feet. AH were partially cover
ed by pieces of the tent and a few
pieces of blanket. All the others,
except Alexia, they found at the
place where the tent was pitched.—
Lee and Koch were dose by in a cleft
in the bank toward the west. IN one
of the dead had boots. Their fket were
covered with rags tied on. In the
pockets of all were pieces of burnt
skin clothing, which they had been
eating. The hands of all were more
or less burned, and looked as if when
dying they had crawled into the fire.
Boyd was lying over the fire, his cloth
ing burned through to the skin,
which was not burned. Collins’ face
was covered with a cloth. All the
bodies were carried to the top of a
hill 300 feet high, about forty versis
to the southwest from where they
were found, and there interred in a
mausoleum constructed of wood from
tne scow, built in the form of a pyra
mid, twenty-two feet long and seven
feet high, surmounted by a cross
twenty-two feet high and a foot square,
hewn out of driftwood, and oonspicu*
ous at a distance of twenty versts.
A BODY OF AMERICAN RANGERS AR
RESTED BY MEXICANS.
Tucson, Arizona, Juue 20.—Capt. J. Ross, with
his command of fifty rangers, who left here two
months ago, has returned. The rangers trailed
the remnant of the renegade Apaches 200 miles
from the Arizona line into Chihuahua, Mexico.
They counted nearly 80 dead Indians, many of
whom were found near the mountain trtfll.—
They had evidently been wounded in the fight
with the Mexican troops under Gen. Garcia, and
had fled for sa'ety. The body of Chief Loco
was identified by one of the party, who had
known him intimately for six years. On the 1st
instant they fell in with a body of Mexican
troops commanded by Gen. Reyes, and were ar
rested, disarmed, and after four days ordered
to leave Mexican territory. Gen. Reyes inform
ed Capt. Ross that inasmuch as he had authority
as a deputy sheriff from Arizona the lives of
himself and his men would be spared. Ross de
manded a voucher for the arms of ills rangers,
which was at first refused, but afterwards Gen.
Reyes stated that lie had sent C< lonel Forsythe
a formal warning that auy body of armed men
found on Mexican soil would be shot, but he
would make an exception in this ease. The
rangers were compelled to return through an
Indian country, a distance of two hundred and
fifty miles, without a single weapon for self,
defense. Gen. Reyes admitted that he wa^
aware the rangers meant no harm and that they
were only after hostile Indians, but he declared
that it was a violation of international law
which he would not tolerate. Advices from
Chihuahua City state that the Mexican troops
had another fight with the Indians, in which
fifteen Indians were killed and twenty were
made prisoners. Five Mexicans wore killed.
The report of the killing of Chief Kanehos has
l been confirmed.

THE MAN WHO RAN THE FIRST LOCOMO
TIVE IN AMERICA.
St. Louis Republican.
.T. Van Buren, a resident of Clarksville, Ga.,
whore he has been living since 1839, was the
first, and is the oldest locomotive engineer ir.
the United States. He ran the fli st one placed
upon a railroad in the United States. He was
born in Sheneotady, N. Y., in 1800, and is, eon-
seqnently, 82 yours old. lie says the first loco
motive placed upon any railroad in the United
States was put on the road known ns the Slie-
nectady and Saratoga Railroad, in 1832. It was
built by George Stephenson, ut Newcastle-upon-
Ty ae, Eng., and imported by the Schenectady
and Saratoga Railroad Company. A man named
Turner came with it as engineer, and Van
lturen assisted him In setting It up and driving
it from time to time to and from Saratoga.—
The Mohawk and Hudson Railroad was com
pleted in 1680 or 1831 aad was operated for two
or three years after its completion entirely by
horse power. A half-way house waa built by
the company on the line of the road, where the
horses were ohanged for fresh ones In going
both ways. The first locomotive put on tills
I road was built by Dnvid Matthews, a young man
