(LItx* Q§£j3jcjjm HUsshlg sm& 3*tmtstl $k $fltpjilj & JtaftHgtt. FRIDAY, APRIL 30,1S80. —Texas aud Vermont have declared Tor Hancock. In tlie St. Louis Conven tion Mr. Tilden received the solid vote of Vermont, and nearly the solid vote of Texas, on the first ballot, and the vote of both on the second ballot. Matricide at Knoxville.—Y. M. Eckle, a Knoxville tinner, struck Ids mother on the head with a bed slat, Tues day, causing instant death. He was drunk at the time. The murder- created great excitement in Knoxville. Eckle is in jail. —General Joseph E. Johnston, the fa mous Confedeiate commander, is not pleased with his experience in Congress, and will not be a candidate for re-elec tion. General Johnson has won the re spect of all his associates in Congress by his conservatism and gentlemanly quali ties, and will be much missed. —A statement by the secretary of the American Iron ami Steel Association shows that there are now in the United States 607 blast turnaces, with an annual capacity of 6,600,000 tons of pigTron; 382 rolling mills, with an annual capacity of 4,000,000 tons, the capacity of the rail mills being 2,150,000; 11 Bessemer steel works, with annual capacity of 1,740,000 tons, and also 11,880 miscellaneous steel works. . _ —The estimated loss by the conflagra tion in Hull is between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 with no insurance. The scene to-day of a thousand • homeless people, who have found temporary shelter in the city halls and hotels, is painful. Hundreds were obliged to sleep in the streets Wed nesday night, but arrangements were made to-day whereby shelter will be af forded to all. The generous'response to the Mayor’s appeal for assistance has pre vented a great deal of suffering. —On Monday a locomotive left stand ing on the track in Rochester, New York, while the engineer and fireman were at breakfast, was started off by James Mc- Inemay. He leaped from the engine and was captured. The engine ran through the city at the rate of forty miles an hour, fortunately without causing any accident. The engine pump was open, forcing cold water into the boiler, and causing a stop page three miles west of the city. Mc- Inernay is liable to ten years’ imprison ment for this act of reckless mischief. —In the May number of the North American Review there are two attractive and striking articles, one of them upon politics, the other upon religion. “Gene ral Grant and Strong Government,” by Judge Black, is in the best style of that bold thinker and trenchant writer. He' holds that the first of duties for the friends of free government is to settle the third- term question; “for this third-tenn inno vation is to arbitrary power what a rat- hole in a Dutch dyke is tq the surging waters of the ocean; if not stopped up, it must become a huge crevasse, submerging all the land.” Judge Black warns the third-term plotters that “their success now will bring them hideous ruin in the long run; for strong government is a weak contrivauce after all, and never lasts.” Great Sale op Rear Estate.—The Mutual Life Insurance Company on Tues day sold all its real estate in New York acquired under foreclosure of mortgage during the past four years for the purpose of complying with the law which prohibits insurance companies from holding such property longer than five years. In all 245 plots, including fifteen pieces of im proved property, were disposed of, all or it lying in the up-town districts, where the heavy assessments had been too great a burden for the owners to carry. The ag gregate sum realized was $661,520, which was within $20,000 of the estimated value put upon the property by the company’s appraisers. The Constellation’s Rough Voy age.—The Irish relief ship Constellation, which arrived at Queenstown Tuesday, experienced fearful weather on her voy age across the Atlantic. Her chain plates on the port and starboard sides were started and her masts slightly sprung. The captain says he must lay up a few days for repairs. The Duke of Edinburgh has or dered Admiral Hamilton, at Queenstown, to furnish a tug to tow the ship around to Galway if the captain wishes. A small part of the cargo must be unloaded at Queenstown, as there is danger it will be spoiled. —The baby elephant made his debut on Monday in the circus now exhibiting in Philadelphia. Hebe, the mother, walked slowly round the ring, with her baby trotting along between her fore^ legs. Hebe seemed anxious to keep the young one close to her, and occasionally pushed him back when he seemed to be eager to go ahead. When Hebe capae to a $4lt, the baby ran out and gazed curiously around at the crowded seats, and raised his trunk in the air. After gazing a few moments, without the slightest fear at the strange sight, the baby returned to hip fa vorite position. —As to the income tax suit, says the New York Sun, it is discreditable only to the administration that brought it. It is' one of the basest persecutions in the his tory of the country. The income lax law left It optional for a man to make his own returns or to be assessed by a government officer, to whose assessment fifty per cen tum of the amount might be added as a penalty. Some years Mr.*TiIden chose one course and some years he chose the oth er. Years afterward, when and because Mr- Tilden had become more prominent in- politics, it was concluded that the govern, mint’s own officer had not assessed him high enough, and that a suit should be brought against him for the alleged defi ciency. It was thought to injure him in the public estimation by such a suit. Scoundrelly device! It was second only to Woodford’s “work of hell,” in reference to the slave trade, exposed in these col umns many years ago. —A contrast to theOberammergau passion play, which is to be performed again this season, is thus described by a well known Shakspeariau authority in a letter to a friend: “Years ago I saw a passion play la Spain which was sublimely national. After the Magi had presented their gifts to Mary, who was seated beside a pasteboard manger surrounded by pasteboard- oxen with a great deal of genuine straw about, at the tinkle of a little bell ballet girls in short skirts and pink tights darted from the side scenes, and, pirouetting around the group, finally struck an attitude with their hands over the cradle, and their elevated toes pointing to the audience. When the curtain went down, there were vociferous calls for the actors, and Christ appeared, leading Joseph and Mary, and bowed his thanks. It was deeply religious to the people, and many women wept.” On the Uses of Blowing. It seems to he a settled point in the tactics and the sesthetics of modern trade, that modesty and personal dignity shall be offered up a bleeding sacrifice on the altar of a boastful notoriety. In the eager, clamorous and noisy crowd of pretension, the quiet contestant is very, apt to he lost sight of or misled.‘He must rival all competitors in fuss and noise. The old similit udes of the empty hogshead and the hollow drum are forgotten. The Maconians have never prac ticed nor even learned the art of bragging, and hence, when our bus iness men wander to sister cities, make their comparisons and come back, they are full of astonishment. Why, I went to Atlanta, or to Augusta, or to Columbus, and personally compared our trade with that of these other places, and find we are far ahead of them. Why don’t you blow ? Well, why don’t you blow? Unques tionably it is healthy practice in some cases. To the whale and porpoise it is a normal condition of existence, and there fore, they perfect themselves in it by long, early and constant practice. Why don’t yon blow? I went to Atlanta, and what I tell you is true. The jobbing trade of Macon in dry goods and groceries heats that of Atlanta largely. I have carefully examined their iron trade, their foun dries and machine shops,and we are to-day doing more business in these departments than Atlanta. There is not a single point of vantage as a business locality in which Macon does not outweigh Atlanta, except in blowing. Therefore, blow! “Blow, blow ye winds and crack your cheeks.” Yes, blow, brethren, blow! Let us add a little more wind to oar solid avoirdupois. Colonel Hardeman for Governor. We publish elsewhere a letter address ed by many prominent gentlemen of Hous ton county to our distinguished fellow citizen, Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Jr., requesting him to allow the use of his name before the people for the high office of chief magistrate of the commonwealth. To this missive, which pointedly sets forth the services rendered to the country by Colonel Hardeman, and his claims upon the Democracy, the Colonel re sponds in a ringing, incisive way that must challenge the admiration alike of friend and foe. His remarks upon the ne cessity of Democratic unity and his inten tion never to permit personal considera tions to disturb the harmony of the party, are peculiarly apposite and graceful just at this juncture, when there is such a disposition on the part of many to act otherwise. Should the convention endorse Colonel Hardeman and place him in the van as the standard bearer of the Democracy, it will be our pride and pleasure to extend to him an earnest and enthusiastic sup port. Colonel Nuttine’s Card. One reason assigned among others by Colonel O. A.. Nutting for declining the use of his name for the office of State treasurer before people next fall, is that an office commanding only the paltry sal ary of $2,000 per aunum, and'yet necessi tating a bond of two thousand per cent, increase on that sum, is not worth con tending for. It is a shame and disgrace to the commonwealth, that important of fices of trust, like that of State treasurer, should be so poorly compensated. None but a millionaire can afford to hold it. An honest man with a family to sup port would be reduced to the most painful straits to make .both ends meet, and if he had an “India rubber con science” the State would certainly suffer. Georgia belittles herself by paying such insufficient salaries to her Governor, Su preme Court Judges and other officials to whom are entrusted the conduct of public affairs. It is actually offering a premium to fraud a[nd peculation. The honest man, it matters not how learned and competent he may be, is .of ten ruled out because he cannot afford to serve his country for such a beggarly pit tance. This is a “penny wise and pound foolish policy” which should be abated as soon as possible. The Wheat Crop of the West The accounts of the growing wheat crop in the West are somewhat conflicting. The winter wheat in Iowa and Kansas is -said to be unpromising. But in tbe lat ter State the proportion of winter sowing is only as one to twenty. In Indiana, however, which yielded 25,000,000 bush els last year, the wheat is reported twenty per' cent, better the present season, and the acreage larger than ever known before. i , The April report of the agricultural de partment, which is perhaps the most reli able information to be had, places the av erage condition of Western wheat at nine ty-eight; the same as at 'this time last year, with an increase in acreage t of thir teen per cent. There is a fair prospect, therefore, that the total yield of the pres ent crop will be even in excess of the im mense production of 1879. Breadstufls are declining steadily; and there is every reason to believe that the staff of life will be cheap. ' ‘ - ‘ - * I " ... . ..... ISlfcl r-W Sharp Practice in Georgia.—Tbe anti-third tenners in the Georgia so-called Republican State convention have shown some strategic ability. - They are said to have • apportioned > Georgia—eight to Blaine, eight to Sherman, and six to Grant, while everybody believes, that out-^ side of their convention neither Blaine nor Sherman has the smallest showing. In the Republican party of the State of Geoigia—that is to, say, the great body of the colored, unbliached and unwashed masses, nothing is known of either Blaine or Sherman, but Grant is de countiy, de constitusliun, de flaming sword dat guv’ us our liberty, de Moses, de Joshua, de gifbment. ' ^ ( -, Jay Godud’s Winnings.—Tbe New York Public says that a year ago Jay Gould sold 100,000 shares of UnlonPacific for about $7,500,000. Then he bought a controlling interest In Kansas - Pacific, which was at 12, for. about $600,000, and in the next six months the slock rose to 92, netting $4,000,0QP. Wabash was at 18 when Gould bought, men say, two- thirds of the stock, and it rose later to 92}. His profits oh the consolidation of tbe St. Lotiis Northern (which he bought at 7i and saw rise to 47) and Wabash are put at $4,850,000. In all, by spending about $3,*50,000 for stocks, Gould has netted $11,000,000, if he were to sell out. Mean while he can borrow on his holdings two or three times tbe amount cf his original capital. The question in Wall street now Is how much -Gould expects to make on his Central stock, of which he has at least 83,500 shares. Driven to it at Last—It will be noticed in yesterday’s telegrams a cloud of negro witnesses were introduced into court in the Whittaker case. Finished Their Woik. After spending several days of continu ous squabbling, the Radical convention concluded its arduous labors on the even ing of Friday, the 23d instant. The dele gates to Chicago and their respective pro clivities have already been announced. Grant, though perhaps the choice of eight- tenths of the colored Republicans of Geor gia, was whipped out, anil'the cunning white element managed to have every thing pretty much theirrown way- The following are the "names pf the State cen tral committee/ r Members from the State at large—TV. H. Smyth, W. A. Pledger, J. F. Long, S. A. Darnell, Eugene R. Belcher. First district—R. W. White, James At kins, James Blue. Second district—R. R. Wngbt, A. M. Kelly, W. H. Henderson. Third district—B. F. Bell, S. H. Slade, E. Seward Small. Fourth district—D. W. Echols, H. Moss, J. II. Sims. , Fifth district—C. G. Cqleman, J. M. Jones, A. A. Blake. Sixth district—R.. C. Helt, W.

Ninth district—Harrison Harris, John Crowley, Matt Davis. Jackson McHenry, of Fulton, said (we quote from the Constitution): “The colored men must quit voting for inde pendent Democrats if they wanted any cadetships or any thing else. He had voted for independents often, and they' had never done anything for him yet. The uegro wanted something for his vote. He was going to ask the Democrats to give the negroes one delegate' to the Legisla ture from Fulton. [Cheers.] The ne groes were taxed, hut not represented. Jackson grew quite eloquent and called forth loud applause more than once.” That fellow’s head was level. Waihineton. I Mr. Cox, of New York, chairman of the Washington Anr'l 20—Thp I committee on foreign affairs, reported totS SiioKs nsSfoS’t aF rx Our Growing Population. It is estimated by the secretary of the New York board of emigration, that the number of foreigners who will he landed at all ports of the United States the pres ent year will equal fully 400,000. The greatest number arriving in any previous year was in 1854, when it amounted to 319,000. The average sum of money brought over by each emigrant is at least sixty dollars, which at 400,000. would give a total of $24,000,000. Of the 34,675 im migrants landed at -Castle Garden during the first three months of the year, 12,583 were from Great Britain, nearly 10,000 from Germany, and from the Scandina vian countries 3,609, the remainder being mostly from Holland, Switzerland, Italy and Russia. Among the skilled artisans that have recently arrived are silk weavers, glass blowers and makers, English cutlers, and French glove makers and workers in fine silverware and jewelry. These are said to be arriving in considerable num bers, and as some of them are reported to be “the very pick and flower of productive European labor,” with the exception of the very highest artistic brandies, they promise to become a valuable addition to those industries requiring the Tery best effoits of trained skill. These facts are gathered from the re port of Secretary Jackson, of New York. A Berlin dispatch says from the 4tli ,to the 11th of April, 5,800 persons left Brc- meii for England and the .United States. The large increase, it is thought, is owing to the new army hill which bears very heavily upon the people. A Magnificent Flower Stand.— We were one of the many admirers yes terday of the gorgeous flower device which Mr. W. W. Woodruff contributed to the anniversary celebration, of the Macori Volunteers, which came off at Adams’ Park on Friday. The stand is in the shape of a perfect globe and is fifteen inches in diameter, and formed upon a frame-work of wire. The flowers, which must have numbered thousands, were each stemmed upon sticks and thus'seemely inserted-in their places. The grouping of colors and ar rangement were in exquisite taste. Fifty varieties of roses, and one hundred and-fifty other descriptions of flowers, in cluding multitudes of geraniums, abiltilon, sweet alysinm, heliotropes, and many whose names cannot he recalled, graced that royal bouquet. On either side of the globe, too, the monogram of the Vol unteers, delicately displayed in immor telles, was distinctly visible. It required several experts five hours to fashion this bouquet, and we doubt if it ever has been excelled in taste and beauty either North or South. This flower stand is on exhibition at the store of Mrs. Woodruff on Cotton avenue.' • i An Ancient Cavalry Company.— 1 The writer acknowledges the reception of an invitation to attend a parade of the Liberty Independent Troop on May 1st, in honor of the 7Sd anniversary of a veter an ex-commanding officer, Captain P. W* Fleming. The celebration will take place in Walthourville, Liberty county. This, corps was organized inl7S7, and served in 1 the war of 1812, and throughout the Con federate struggle. It is the oldest cavalry organization south of Virginia. The pres ent commander, Captain W. A. FjenSng, is a son of Captain P. W. Fleming, whose birthday, will be celebrated. The Electric Light.—Two eminent, scientists, who have thoroughly examined the Edison light, reach the conclusion that* “provided the lamp can he made either cheap enough or durable enoughj” there Is' no reasonable doubt of the practical Suc cess of the light, but -that the lamp as it now exists cannot be pronounced practica ble, but requires much further experi ment before such result can be truly as serted. They aCd as a salvo to this un pleasant verdict; “That Mr. Edison Will finally overcome‘ the difficulty, however, no one who knows him can doubt.” A young boob black who operated on the Understandings of the Wall street stock brokers, learned the'- “pints” from them and made a small fortune, took a wife (he other day, made a wedding tour ou the elevated railroad at the cost of ten cents, and resumed the practice of his pro fession two hours after, at the old stand, refusing to squander bis available capital in idleness and ground peas.

In the Senate; Mr. Morrill submitted a resolution instructing the committee on printing to take such: measures as shall exclude from the permanent Congression al record what purports to be a copy righted argument of a territorial delegate which appears iu the Record to-day, but was in fact never delivered iu the House of representatives. Mr. Saulsbury thought that' the House having authorized the poem to be printed, (lie Senate could not in courtesy interfere. Mr. Morrill said the Senate would have to bear a part pf the reputation, good or bad* of authorizing this production. r • j 1 Mr. Hamlin said the committee on printing was a joint committee, ami noth ing could be done without consulting the House. He hoped this affair would result in the future exclusion of speeches and other productions not actually delivered in Congress. Mr. Morrill said that since offering the resolution lie had learned that the House was considering the .matter. He, there fore, withdrew his resolution. In the House a rather singular scene oc curred this morning. In the Record there appears a speech in blank verse entitled, “The Immortals,” which is copyrighted by Downey - ; and which purports to be in support of his bill providing for the paint ing of biblical pictures on the walls ot the Capitol. Garfield called attention to this fact, and moved that the speech be re ferred to the committee on rules to in quire whether it is competent for a mem- befito copyright his speech, pointingputat the same time the danger which might at tend such practice. Downey replied that he had the opinion of a liberal of Congress upon the compe tency of his copyrighting his work. He had no objection, however, to Garfield’s motion. • • Mr. Conger, however, aid oppose it in rather an amusing speech, in which he in timated that Mr. Garfield was envious of the rising young poet. The yea? ;*iul nays were ordered on Mr. Garfield’s motion. During the roll call the members sepa rated into groups—the singular speech be ing the sole topic of conversation. A meeting of the ways and means com mittee of the House was held this morn ing, but the sub-committee not being prer pared to report, no action was taken upon any of the tariff questions before the com mittee. Washington, D. C., April 22.—At the expiration of the morning hour, the Sen ate resumed consideration of the army bill. The reading of the bill was inter rupted by a message from the President, informing the Senate and House that the heirs of the late Joseph Coolidge, of Bos ton, desired to present to the United States the desk on which Thomas Jefl'e’rson wrote the declaration of independence.' A joint resolution adopted ty the House, accepting the gift and'thanking the don ors was passed without a division. Consideration of the army hill was then resumed. Mr. Blaine moved to strike out the section relating to the use of the army at the polls. The motion was rejected yeas 20, nays 2S. Mr. Blaine then offered an amendment prohibiting the carrying of weapons at the polls by any one, under penalty of fine and imprisonment. The chair ruled that this amendment was not in order, inasmuch as it intro duced new legislation. The Republicans then offered several amendments intended to break the force of the army at the polls section by giving it such a construction as would not pre vent the use of the army on election days in the manner and for the purposes pre scribed by existing laws. All these amendments were rejected by the same rote, 29 to l9. Among them was the fol lowing, offered by Mr. Edmunds: “But this section shall not be held to apply to any case in which, under the constitution of the United States, the President may employ the military power of the govern ment in the faithful execution of the laws.” Mr. Blaine made another effort to get in a differently worded version of his amendment relative to the carrying of weapons at the polls, hut it was again ruled out of order. The bill was then read the third time and passed—yeas 28, nays 18. On motion of Mr. Saulsbury, the resolu tion reported froih the committee on privileges and elections, declaring Mr. Spofford entitled to the seat now held by Mr. Kellogg, were taken up, and Mr. Bai ley, of Tennessee, obtained the floor. Without opening the debate, however,the Senate adjourned. Washington,April 22.—In the House, Mr. Garfield’s motion was agreed to by a vote of 119 to 105: The Speaker laid be fore the House a message from the Presi dent, informing Congress that the heirs of the late Joseph Coolidge, of Boston, de sired to present to the nation the desk on which Thomas Jefferson wrote the . decla ration of independence, and whicii Mr. Jefferson had given to said Coolidge. Mr. Crapo, of Massachusetts, offered a joint resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to the donors, and accepting the precious relic in the name of the na-* tion, to he deposited for safe keeping in in the department of state After speeches in its favor by Mix Crapo and Mr. Tucker, of Virginia,, the resolu tion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Price, of Iowa, from the committee on banking and currency, reported -a bill repealing the stamp tax on checks. Re ferred to the committee of the whole. The House then went into commit tee of the Whole on the naval appropria-; tion MU. On motion of Mr. Atkins, o£ Tennessee, the appropriation for contin gent expenses of the navy, was increased nilfcim.ono III $100,000. The bill was then reported to the House and passed. Mr. Cox of New York, presented the petition of - Goodwin & Co. and 160 other manufacturers of tobacco, snuff and cigars, asking Congress to amend the statutes so as i to authorize such manufacturers to cancel bonds, etc. Referred. . The House rejected the motion of • Mr. Springer to take up the Curtin-Yocum contested election case. The House non-concui red in the Senate amendment to the fortification appropria tion hill, Increasing the appropriation for ( repairsion fortifications by fifty thousand dollars. '•* •; The House then went into committee of the whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Harris, of Virginia, who made the mo tion, stating his object to be to call up the bill directing the Secretary of the Treas ury to settle the accounts of certain states for moneys expended by them during the war of 1812. The-cdmmittee found itself confronted, however, by the special deficiency bill, and Mr. Baker, of Indiana, objected to its being laid aside. Mr. McMahon made A proposition, which was accepted by the Republicans, limiting the debate on the bill to - an hour for the Republicans and twenty minutes for the Democrats. * Mr. Reed, of Maine, assumed that the Democrats had disliked to allow debate on the bill because they feared a further exposure' of the inconsistency of their pol icy since the beginning of the eitra ses sion. • He said no party ever objected to pntting legislation on appropriation bills, except when it was done to coerce the government. He atgued against the policy and constitutionality [of the rider amendihg the election law.' Before ths conclusion of his speech the committee rose, and the House took a re cess until 7:30 p. m., the evening session to be for tlie consideration of the immi gration bill. Washington. April 22.—The Senate to-day confirmed the nominations of the following census supervisor;: J. W. Bynara, for the first district, * and Wm. IL Gibbs, for tbe third district of Mississippi. The nomination of John B. Stickney as United- States Attorney for tbe northern district of Florida was rejected, Washington, April 22.—The Senate commerce committee to-day considered the House bill for abolishing all tolls on the Louisville and Portland canal after July first, next. No action was taken, but it was practically agreed to report the bill favorably. Washington, April 23.—In the House unanimous report ferred to committee of the whole. Mr. Cox also reported back the joint resolu tion for a commission to ascertain a ba sis of reciprocity with the British prov inces; Ordered printed apd recommitted. Private business having been postponed until to-morrow, the House at 12:30 went into committee of the whole, Mr. Whit- tliorne chairman, on the special deficiency bUl. _ In tile Senate; Mr. Beck said it ap- jKiared from tlier^Rerord that the joint resolution-pns&d yesterday by the House accepted-the-desk of Thomas Jefferson In tlie name of the United States, while - that passed by-the Senate accepted it in the name of the nation. He hoped the House resolution would be sent to the donors. The vice president stated that but-one resolution had been passed, name ly, the one originating "in thfr'House. If the Record showed differently, it was a typographical error. Washington, April 23.—In the Sen ate, on motion of Mr. Maxey, tlie post route bill was taken up, read the third time and passed.' The Senate then resumed the consider ation of the resolution declaring Mr. Spof ford entitled to the seat now occupied by Mr. Kellogg. Mr. Bailey spoke in sup port of the resolution. He said that the Spofford-Kellogg contest, although it had been passed upon by the Senate, wa3 not res adjudicata. The Senate was a politi cal, not a judicial body, and the Senate -was not bound by the rules and methods of tlie courts. It was hound only by the principles of hon or and justice, After citing numer ous precedents, which, however, were not; in all respects parallel with the present case, Mr. Bailey s^id that the State of Louisiana was entirely unrepresented in the Senate. That body which pretended to elect Kellogg was not a legislature at all. The fact that the Senate once recog nized it did not make it so. No power could legalize it except the power of the State itself, and the State had rejected it. In conclusion, Mr. Bailey reviewed the testimony taken by the committee, and said it proved conclusively the utter worthlessness of tlie Packard Legislature. Mr. Kellogg said he wished the Sena tors who should hereafter speak in favor of the resolutions to address themselves to a point which he held to be fully estab lished, namely, that the - Nicholls legisla ture did not have a quorum of member; in the lower house elected upon the face of the returns, by the Democratic party’s own showing, during the whole term of sixty days. Mr; Jonas then obtained the floor, but preferring to speak to-morrow, allowed the resolutions to be .informally laid aside. Mr. Ransom, from tlie committee on railroads, reported with amendments, but without recommendation, the Senate bill extending the time for the completion of the Texas Pacific railway. Placed on the calendar. At 4:35 the Senate adjourned until Mon day, when the Kellogg-Spoflord resolutions will he the regular order after the morn ing hour. In the House, Mr. Reed, of Maine, con cluded his speech ou the.marshals clause of the special deficiency bill, and further marks were made by Messrs. McMahon and Garfield. The Senate amendments relative to special deputy marshals and to public printing, were then concurred in. The amendment appropriating $280,000 for the completion of a new state department was concurred in. The committee then rose and reported its action to the House, where their action was ratified. The House, at 3:30 p. m., took a recess until 7:30 p. m., the evening session to be for the consideration of the bill establish ing a municipal code for the District of Columbia. Washington, D. C., April 24.—Capt. Edmund W. Wright, of the ordnance de partment, U. S. A., committed suicide to day by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. Capt. Wright married a daughter of the late Judge Paschal, of Texas. In the House, in accordance with an arrangement made yesterday, Speaker pro tem Goode, of Virginia, proceeded to call committees for reports of a private character. Washington, April 24.—Tlie House at 1:30 p. m. went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. About three o’clock the committee rose and the House adjourned. TERRIBLE' TRAGEDY. Charles DoYonnr Killed by Mayor KaJloch’s Son. San Francisco, April 24.—Just before eight o’clock this evening, Chas. De- Young entered the business office of the Chronicle on the ground floor, at the comer of Kearney and Bush streets, and stood talking with some gentlemen, lean iug against the counter. Directly the door opened, I. M. Kalloch entered, and drawing a pistol, without, as far as can be learned, spiaking a word, began firing at DeYoung. The latter ran through the gate of the counter to the desk inside, Kalloch firing at him as he ran. On reaching the desk, DeYoung turned face to face with his opponent, with hid pistol in hand, when Kalloch, leaning over the counter, fired again, the ball striking De Young in the mouth: Kalloch then start ed for the 1 floor., ^DeYoung raised-bis pistol as if to fire, but his strength fatted him, for the pistol was not. discharged, and sinking backward he fell to the floor. The bystanders ran to his assistance, but the ball had evideutly pierced the base of the brain, and in a few minutes he ex pired. As Kalloch ran out of the door, he was seized by a citizen, and at the same mo ment an officer came up and took him in charge, and conducted him to the city prison, Where he was locked up. The news ofthe murder flew thi'ough the city like wind, and in a few moments the street hi the vicinity of the Chronicle office was crowded with people, eager to learn the particulars of the affair. Policemeu were at ouee stationed at the doors of the of fice to keep out the inquistive crowd, and only personal friends and reporters were admitted to tlie office. M. H. DeYoung, brother of the deceased, reclined oh a lounge, surrounded by friends, evidently overcolne by the tragedy, but with dry eyes and’ his voice calm. H# was not present at the time of tlie shooting, hav ing left home after dinner a few minutes later than Charles. Tlie deceased lay on his back ou the floor, his face and breast dabbled In'blood, eyes closed and face bearing the calm expression generally ffo- ticeabie in cases of those dying from shot wounds. Only one wound w,as found on his person, although at least four shots were fired by Kalloch, two having pierced the glass door and partition ofthe of fice, and the third‘ lodging in the window casing. San Francisco, April 24.—Youn_ .Kalloch, on being arrested, was, as the ar resting officer remarked, the coolest man be ever saw; ho still carried the smoking pistol in his hand, which he surrendered' to the officer on his way to the station house. He observed strict reticence on being shown to his cell, ai d positively re fused to' have any Intercourse'whatever with representatives of the press. In the absence of any explanations from the as sassin of the cause of the act, it is gener ally understood to be attributable to the pamphlet which has recently been cir culating about the city attacking Mayor Kalloch, father of the young slay er. During his recent visit east it Is believed the deceased devoted great attention to gathering up matters regard ing the past life of Mayor Kalloch, for the presumed purpose of either using .it at the expected trial of the deceased on the charge of shooting Kalloch last August or of making it' subserve journalistic Pur poses. The pampTiIet above referred [o was a document of some .sixty "pages, and recounted the details of Kallogh’s scandal In Boston and other matters of a scandal ous natnre. The pamphlet was anony mous, but young Kalloch evidently.con sidered that the deceased was responsible for'its publication, and acted accordingly. The New York Herald was presented to the world Sunday, for the first time in i its history, in sextuple form of 124 col umns. TOE BOYS IN OKAY. The -Journey to Adams’ Park - Target Practice-Feasting and Dancing. Yesterday morning, although our wishes regarding the bright skies had not been granted, and the watery, clouds hung low, the roll of the drum was heard upon the streets, aud the thoroughfares soon became dotted witlithe showy Volunteer uniforms, as their wearers hurried around to the armoiy. Carriages dashed through the streets toward the depot, and fair faces, flushed with the early morning ex ercise, sniiliot out upon the boys in gray as they sped-long. * — The Volunteer Armory soon presented its usual anniversary activity; more than forty members had assembled when the -drums* beat the last assembly. The State flag’was not chrrieflaslias bgSh'ffirsus;- tom since the war, but the “stars and stripes,” whidi were presented to the company prior to the war, by a lady of this city. Tlie question as to which flag should be carried was informally put to a vote, and the fla; named was almost unanimously adopted. For the fir^t time since 1861, the Volunteers went out carrying no other flag above them, than that which waves above our common countiy. As the company marched into the de pot four abreast, with the drums thunder ing around them, they are said to have presented a splendid appearance; certain ly the depot did. A long train of cars, with the exception of those reserved for the Volunteers, were there, filled with citizens awaiting them, the young ladies predominating. Soon “ all aboard for Adams’ Park 1” was htard, and with a farewell wave of handkerchiefs, the party was off. Not the least enjoyable feature of tlio occasion was the ride down to the park; all of the excursionists seem tc meet upon the best of terms, and all to thoroughly enter into the fun of the first picnic. Arriving at their destination, the Vol unteers were drawn up in line • before the ladies’ cottages, the targets erected, and the terms ofthe contest announced. The distance from the shooter’s stand to the targets was unknown. When theirnames were called,two ofthe company were td take their stands, at the position of “carry arms,” when the following orders were to be given: “No. 1, (on the right) ready, aim, fire 1 No. 2, ready, aim, fire!” Each, upon his commands being received, must execute them as though on drill, fir ing-five times. The best average to take the prize. Of course in this style of firing the time for aiming is exceedingly limi ted, and the firer must judge as to the dis tance he stands from the target, so as to arrange liis sights. The distance really was about one hundred and fifty yards, the bull’s eye eight inches in diameter. Taking into consideration that no mem ber ofthe company had been able to prac tice, and all ofthe circumstances named, the shooting was really very fine. Out of a possible 25, scores of 17,16, 15, 14, 13 and 12 were frequently made, the former, being the highest, took the prize. Sixteen was scored by Private George F. Paine, and fifteen by Corporal W. P. Edwards. Mr; O. W. Thompson having made the best score, was awarded the prize, handsome set of silver forks in a morocco case. Captain Carnes stated in his brief presentation speech, that'the committee, in making aselection of the prize, consid ered the useful more than' tlie ornamen tal; and that he trusted the fortunate re cipient would meetfwith some young la dy who could supply knives, and make the set complete. At one o’clock the company and its guests partook of one of the most elegant and abundant feasts we have over seen spread. The tables were literally heaped with good tilings from end to end. Every delicacy of the season was spread before the hungry excursionists, and all the arts in cookery abundantly represented. It is needless to remark that this feature of the day was, of all others, the most apprecia ted. , All during the day Kessler’s hand beat time in sweet strains for the dancers in the pavilion, and late in the evening the drum corps were called in, when the Vol unteers, gave the annual “stag dance,” to the great, amusement of all spectators. Daring'the evening some of thq com pany had ' a private shooting match, the target being placed 200 yards from the stand and tbe firing executed off-band with no limit as to time of aim. In this match the following fine scores were made: A. E. Boardman ...... 44 433 —18 G. F. Payne . . . . • • • .03455 —17 G. C. Conner . 3 3 3 2 4 —15 A.L.Butts 54553 — 21 At five o’clock the excursion party hoarded the train and returned to Macon. On the streets between the depot and ar mory, the Volunteers gave an exhibitiofl of some very fine drilling. In the armory Dr. J. S. Baxter, ex-surgeon of the com pany, and CoIonoT George S. Jones, its old commander, whom business kept fn the city during the day, had prepared for their old comrades a most delightful punch, thq sight of wliidi was greeted with three ringing cheers'. After a short interview with the punch, an adjournment was effected, and the 55th anniversary was pronounced effectually celebrated. In connection with this occasion, a few allusions to the early history of this com pany' may not be uninterfest'ng. The minute book of the Macon Volunteers from the date of its organization (1825 to 1831), was yesterday returned to the com pany’s seceetary* This book.is one ofthe two recently advertised and had been lost in 1878, more than thirty years. At that time it was found among a lot of old books and brought tp the armory, but iu less than twenty-four hours had again disappeared. Glancing through this book we find tbat on tbe 23d of April, 1825, tbe com pany was organized, and the following gentlemen signed the constitution and bv-laws: Wm.. J. Donelly, John Chain, Simri Rose, Beverly Reed, Jno. A. Hudson, Wm. Ward, John Murphy, Lewis Fitch, D. F. Wilson, James W. Levy, A. E. Patton, E. McCall, Albert Tucknor, Alex McGregor, Washington Poe, Geo. R. Wardlaw, T. P. Bond, Nathaniel Barker, Robt. Birdsong, R. L. Mott, Elliot Freeny. Henry Wilburn, Joseph A. Smith, Wm.

Mott, a resident ol I Columbus, and John Cain, who now lives in Florida. ithin the last few years the company has buried with appropriate honors many of the original members, for there, are many who did not sign the by-laws, but became members immedi ately afterwards. Among them we see. the name of Washington Poe. The first officers of the company were Edward W. Wright, Captain, • William J. Danelly, First Lieutenant, Robert Birdsong, Second and John Chain, Third Lieutenant. The sergeants' were Samuel J. Cooledge, Alex McGregor, John S. Childers and John T. Lamar; the corporals Benjamin C. Frank lin and Hugh McNeil, It is curious to note the records of those -old-days.

The midnight telegrams bring tidings of the final act in the drama of crime, which Sam Hoyle has so long been playing. At Los Angelos, California, yesterday, when all efforts to delay the execution of the law had failed him, and ^when he stood before tbe men by whom he " was to be borne back to Georgia, a fettered criminal, Sam Hoyle drew a pi3tol and shot himself dead: Doubtless at the moment a vision of his olfl life flaslied over him; he saw himself in the State capital, snrroijndedby men of honor, and mixing with the elite of the city, a man honored and esteemed; but that pic ture gave way to another—the criminal standing in the crowded court* with tlie finger of scom pointing at him, a man without money and friends; despised in his native land. He could not face the reality; in that distant cell he ended the life that had become a burden. We can only express our sympathy for the family and friends, upon whom this shock has fallen so heavily. TAKE SIMMONS’ LIVER REGULATOR! It Will Positively Cure BAD BRBATH.
