FRIDAY, JULY 30, I860.
—Enormous natural caverns, one COO
feet long, have lately been found near
Wells, Somerset, England.
—The New Haven police quickly
quelled a street fight by throwing water
on the combatants with a fire engine.
—This year’s yield of tea in India is
timated at 70,000,000 pounds, nearly
double that of 1878. Ten years ago it
was under 14,000,000.
—It is claimed that a new Swedish
gun (adopted by the Russian Davy) is
even more deadly than the Gatling. It
can be carried up into the maintop if
necessary.
—The college graduate is hanging
about the outer edges of journalism, wait
ing for a chance to jump clear into the
middle of it and astonish the world, and
when he does get a chance he is sent
around to the police office to sec how
many “drunks” have been brought irt.
—At the recent examinations of the
University of Bologna, a young lady re
ceived her Diploma of Doctress, surpass
ing the students of the other sex in anat
omy, physiology, and chemistry. At the
University of Turin a fair girl graduate
obtained a similar degree of success in
law.
—Jose Maria Salazar saw a young girl
in an Arizona mining camp, fell madly in
love with her, and within three hours
asked her to marry him. She declined,
and he killed heron the spot. Retribu
tion was as speedy as his courtship had
been, for he was at once hanged by the
miners.
—Some one has undertaken the busi
ness of lion-breeding at Bond, in Algeria,
in order to supply menageries and zoolog
ical gardens with specimens of the king
of beasts, for which there is a great and
growing demand. The extirpation of the
lion in a wild state in Algeria, from a va
riety of causes, is only a question of a
very short time.
—Captain Eads, California’s new con
sulting engineer, has gone to that State,
and will begin his work by making a
thorough examination of the Sacramento
river. He has declined the proposition of
Dom Pedro to accept the charge of the
Brazilian engineering department, rec
ommending, however, an American engi
neer, who has been,appointed.
—General Robert Toombs, says the
Sun, is one of the best farmers in
Georgia. He made this year three hun
dred and fifty bushels of white rust-proof
wheat on eleven acres of land. He gave
one hundred bushels, worth $10 a bushel,
to the State for distribution among the
farmers of Georgia to sow lor the next
crop.
—General Benjamin F. Butler is looking
down from some commanding peak of the
Rocky Mountains at the political situation
before making his descent into the midst
of the fray. One of his friends in 3Ias-
sacliuselts says that a letter may be ex
pected irom him before long pledging his
support to the Cincinnati ticket, and put
ting himself squarely ia position for the
regular Democratic nomination for gov
ernor this fall, which he means to claim.
—The smallest lovers on earth were
united at the altar at Odessa, three weeks
ago. The “Marquis,” is a native ol Kiel,
is thirty years old, aud weighs only nine
teen pounds, while his faiiy-like consort,
a young lady, born in Neumunster some
two-and-twenty years ago, just turns the
scale at thirteen pounds. At a first glance
this tiny pair, it is said, might be taken
for a couple of scarcely weaned babies,
dressed up for a joke in the garb of
adults. ’
—The Albany (New York) Journal
says: “A few sensational journals are
reviving the silly rumor that it is the pur
pose of Governor Cornell to call an extra
session of the legislature ostensibly for
some 1 audible purpose, but really to
change the mode of choosing presidential
electors. Nothing has occurred to justify
such rumor, and we have yet. to hear of
the first Republican who desires or would
approve ot anything of the kind.”
Building in New York.—It is offi
cially reported that more money has been
expended tnis year for new buildings and
substantial repairs and improvements in
New Fork city than at any time since
1873. The returns of the department of
buildings for the six months ended July
1 show that 1,100 new buildings have been
commenced, at a total estimated cost of
$14,800,000, or nearly $13,500 for each.
This is $3,000,000 more than was expend
ed for these objects in the same period of
last year, and double as much as in 1877.
A great many apartment houses on the
“French flat” plan are being erected,
while the number of tenement houses is
decreasing.
Bagasse for Paper Stock.—The
demand for paper-making materials is so
sharp and incessant that American in
genuity, although a quality of seemingly
indefinite powers of expansion, has as yet
failed to meet it. A great step forward
lias, however, been made in the discovery
of a means for utilizing bagasse, the re
fuse cane st3lks left over from the process
of manufacturing crude sugar. This in
vention will be greatly to the profit and
advantage of Louisiana, where 200,000
hogsheads of sugar are made annually.
It is estimated that the bagasse, which has
heretofore been used only to heat the
evaporating pans that the syrup is boiled
in, will yield paper fibre in the propor
tion of a ton to every hogshead of sugar.
The new fibre is said to be of good qual
ity and bleaches well.
—The New York Herald, in an edito
rial explanatory of the remarkable gain in
Dr. Tanner’s weight when he resumed the
use of water, says: “His revival under
the use of water is so far the most curi
ous phenomenon in hi3 experiment; but
it is not so incomprehensible as to force
the conviction that his increase of weight
implies the digestion of food. He had
gone to the limit of -endurance without
either food or water, or on a minimum of
water. But as the whole human fabric
taken together is about 8® per centrwater
—as if all the water were 'drie'd'out of us
not “more than 20 per cent, would remain
by weight—it follows that water is pro
portionally important, and that when a
man is starved as to food and water he is
more starved for water than for. food.
Consequently when Dr. Tanner began to
take water he came up suddenly, and
gained weight and strength and elasticity,
not merely as he would if he had taken
meat, but more than he would if he had
lakea meat.”
A Champagne Campaign.
The Herald compares the opening of
the Democratic campaign to the pop and
effervescence of a ./'nmpagi.c bottle, and
warns the Democracy that this fizzing and
foaming do not constitute a winning ele
ment against an old, seasoned and com
pact phalanx of adroit politicians like the
so-called Republican party.
There must be effervescence and enthu
siasm about every popular movement, and
without it, as things stand, stem drill
amounts to rowing against wind and tide.
It cannot, at best, make many more hon
est votes than belong inalienably to a
party, although it may plan and execute
abundant frauds.
The canvass has not yet fairly com
menced with either party, but we rest as
sured that solid labor will not be spared
by either. Both are well aware of the
importance of organization. Tilden de
clared that it would require a majority of
about two-thirds to elect and install a
Democrat, and that is making a liberal
allowance for tactics and knavery.
The Democracy will open the cam
paign feeling well assured of success, but
knowing well that the main condition of
success is organization and effort as
hearty, fearless, thorough and tireless as
that put forth on the other side. It is no
holiday task they have undertaken, and it
must be pursued with vigor and determi
nation as well as with prudence and
judgment.
With the weapons in their hands, to be
used bravely, adroitly and discreetly, it
will be a gross piece ot mismanagement
if this takes any other form than a bold
and aggressive campaign on the part of
the Democrats. The long catalogue of
fraudulent and tyrannical abuse is aptly
crowned by a ticket impersonating politi
cal malversation. Garfield and Arthur
both stand judicially and officially brand
ed by their own party as unsafe deposita
ries of public trust. Garfield has been so
voted by a Republican House of Repre
sentatives, and so adjudged by the United
States Supreme Court; and Arthur is on
record in a message of Hayes as in the
same condition. Surely never was a par
ty placed in so indefensible a position.
Justice to CoL Hardeman.
The Constitution, in an article defend
ing the accuracy and integrity of its
tabulated statement of the counties that
have chosen delegates to the gubernatorial
convention, has this to say of an editorial
in the Telegraph and Messenger
deprecating what seemed to be an injus
tice in its report of the strength of our
talented townsman, Col. Hardeman:
But the Telegraph asks us why we
“persistently underrate the strength of
Col. Hardeman?” We reply that we have
not done so. We stated when our first
table was prepared that the opponents of
Gov. Colquitt had combined in so many
counties on a general “anti-Colquitt ticket”
that we were at a loss in some cases as to
how to divide the “anti-Colquitt” dele
es. Beyond tliia natural and confessed
doubt, we have given Col. Hardeman all
the delegates that we can get authority
forgiving him. We have believed that
lie would lead Col. Lester in the contest,
and have so expressed ourselves.
If lie gets a reasonable share of the “an
ti-Colquitt” delegates he will lead Mr.
Lester. If he carries the counties or a
share of them in which he is contesting
Go7. Colquitt to-day, he will lead Mr.
Lester. But whether be does or not, we
shall give him the delegates he wins with
all pleasure. In the meantime the Tel
egraph would do well to specify the del
egations or delegates belonging to Col.
Hardeman, not given to Col. Hardeman in
our tables. We may be able to adjust
the matter between us before the conven
tion meets—if we do not, the roll call will
squarely settle which of us is right, and
which is wrong.
We do not charge intentional misrepre
sentation on the part of our contemporary,
especially after such a disclaimer as the
above, but would recall the fact that the
vote of Muscogee, though well known to
be for HardemSn, has never been accorded
to him by the Constitution, and, if we re
member aright, there were other omis
sions in the Hardeman list. What the
aggregate vote of our townsman will be
cannot, of course, be stated at present, nor
will anything certain be known in the pre
mises until the convention organizes, and
a ballot takes place. We cannot but hope
and believe, however, that his following
will be considerably increased when the
returns are all in; and such is the bon
homie of the man, such his personal popu
larity, the versatility of his genius, the
signal services he has rendered to the party
and commonwealth—in short, his salient
aud admitted claim upon the suffrages of
the people—that, in the event that there
is no choice by the convention, after an
honest effort', to compose differences and
elect the strongest man, has failed of suc
cess, we would again present the name of
our distinguished fellow citizen, Colonel
Thomas Hardeman, Jr., not as a “dark
horse,” but that Democrat and statesman
who is pre-eminently entitled to the posi
tion he honorably seeks—the executive
chair of State. We are satisfied that his
selection would be hailed with enthusiasm
in every portion of the State.
A Card to the Georgia Confederates.
Col. Fielder makes the following ap
peal lor information relating to the mus
ter rolls and military organizations of the
troops sent to the front by Georgia during
the late war. We trust it will be prompt
ly responded to by all who are possessed
of the facts he wishes to obtain:
Cuthbert, July, 18S0.—In the sum
mer of 1S63, Gov. Brown, under a resolu
tion of the legislature, sent me to Rich
mond, with ample preparations to make a
complete roll of Georgia troops who had
entered the service. It was found to be
impracticable at that time, on account of
the activity of the departments, in prepara
tion for the campaign into Maryland and
Pennsylvania. President Davis advised
me to postpone it; and the governor re
called me.
On account of rapidly accruing disas
ters, the effort was never renewed. The
work I had performed was lost in the de
struction, by Federal troops, at Milledgc-
ville.
It is not important now lor the purpo
ses then intended, but the sentiment sur
vives the cause, and it will add to the
interest and value of my book of Georgia
history and biography if I can get the in
formation here sought—an account of the
regiments, separate battalions, batteries
and companies not organized with others;
also the divisions and brigades, the Held
and company officers, and places or coun
ties from which the companies went, and
the principal engagements taken part in.
I will gladly accept contributions from
them, and make a clear and simplified
account of each, if the suryiYing officers
will aid me. The labor will be heavy to
me, but light to them.
I hope in this method to preserve much
that within a few years, without some such
effort, the grave will forever exclude from
the history of our grand old State.
Contributions from different persons,
about the same commands, will not be
objectionable, bgt all should be concise,
brief and legiblyWritten, especially proper
names. Respectfully,
Herbert Fielder.

Longfellow at Cambridge.
A door opens and you are in the study
the great poet of the New World. The
walls are panelled to the ceiling with
dark polished oak; and you see from the
circular-headed windows’, with their heavy
wooden muliions, and the tall oak chim
ney-piece, with its classic ornamentations,
that the architect lias hut reproduced
some mansion of the early Georgian era,
with which he was familiar, across the
sea. At one end of the room stand lofty
oaken bookcases, framed in drapery of
dark red cloth. Here and there on orna
mental brackets are' some marble busts,
amoug them a fine effigy ot Gen. Wash
ington. Easy chairs and reading stands
are scattered around.
In the centre of the room, which is cov
ered with a well-worn Persian caipet,
there sits, writing at a round table, lit
tered with books and papers, a tall, bony
man, apparently about seventy. His long
hair and beard are white as snow; hut
from beneath an ample forehead, indicat
ing considerable intellectual power,
there gleam a pair of dark lustrous eyes,
from which the fire of youth seems not
yet to have fled. He rises with a grave
sweetness to salute you. Some chance
remark or some tone of your voice, that
recalled to htm the wild feils and moors
of distant Yorkshire, makes you at
once something more than a mere
passing stranger. IJe tells you
with pride of the remote Yorkshire an
cestry, to which perhaps his poetry owes
something of its manliness and vigor. And
if you happen to be familiar with many of
the scenes which he visited nearly half a
century ago in Europe, he listens with
strange interest as you tell of the changes
which lime has wrought in some of the
spots on which ht3 Muse has bestowed an
undying fame. Yes, the house in which
he lives was-built by an old Royalist, who
carried with him over the sea his Georgian
architecture as well as his theory of
the divine right of kings. But it
is better known- as having been inhab
ited by the great hero of American inde
pendence than as the home of the most
widely-read of American poets. You walk
out with him into the fresh spring morn
ing to see the famous willow with its
S 'ant arms, which spread over the mossy
wn, and form sometimes m the warm
days of summer the poet’s study. You
must admire, too, the great north avenue
of majestic elms, of which he may well be
proud. It is more than forty years ago
since, a grave, studiou3-looking man of
thirty, he first trod its shady pathway,
and lifted the huge lion-lieaded knocker
which frowns still from the front door of
the house.—London World.
A Hero!
A Man Who Consigns Himself to
Certain Death to Save Others.
The catastrophe of last Wednesday morn
ing, by which twenty out of twenty-eight
men were drowned in the Hudson river
tunnel, developed an act of heroism which
should be recorded and remembered.
The eight of the party saved being on one
side of the air-lock nearest the shore
could only escape by letting in the atmos
phere, which was an act of certain and
sudden death to the twenty on the other
side, of which Assistant Superintendent
Woodland was one. But he knew their
fate and his own was sealed, and deliber
ately gave the orders, ivhich were tanta
mount to sadden death. Here is the
testimony:
woodland’s heroic deato.
Thomas Van Nostiand, one of the rcs-
cved men, said the -main shaft is sixty
feet deep, and from the bottom of this
shaft the entrance to the tunnel is effected
through a cylindrical barrel, six feet in di
ameter and fourteen feet in length. This
is called an air-lock and serves to pre
serve the density of the atmosphere of the
tunnel, which in turn is secured by the
forcing of air through pipes from pumps.
There is a door in each end of the air
lock. They both open inward. At each
side of the doors are round windows of
thick glass, through which from the out
side of the air-lock a view can be gained
of the work and the workmen inside the
tunnel. There were twenty-eight men at
work in the tunnel. They went on at
twelve o’clock that night for the eight-
hour shift. I was at work near the east
end of the lock and in the west end of the
tunnel. It was about half-past four
o’clock that I heard the holts
snap, and the braces give way. At the
same time I felt a rush of air iu my face.
I started hack with seven of the men who
were near me, and ran into the lock.
The air pressure crowded the door shut
at the east end. At first it was blocked
by a joist, which we pulled out, and then
the door slammed to. Through the dead-
eyes we could see the men inside the tun
nel. The water was fast rushing in. Ps-
ter Woodland, assistant superintendent,
stood at the door oucside the lock, which
was stationary. It would not move with
out knocking out the dead-eyes. This
would be fatal to the men outside, as the
water would rush in aud drown the men
in an instant. Woodland knew this, hut
stood at the door. His face was ghastly
white, and he realized the terrible danger
He said to me: “Tom, quick, bust the
dead-eyes, and do what you can for
us.” I knew it was death to us if I did not,
so I obeyed the order. As the glass broke
the air rushed in, and the lock shot out in
the main shaft, Paving the men to drown
as the space occupied by the shaft filled
with water. In an instant we were
wholly stripped of our clothes. When wo
crawled out I heard the rush of water at
our back. It filled in fast, but the ob
structions kept it back long enough for us
to escape from the main shaft. It was all
we could d j to save ourselves. Woodland
was standing in the water np to his waist
when I saw him. It was sure death, and
I had to knock out the dead-eyes as I told
you. He knew as well as I that it was
all over with them. I shall never forget
the look on his face or the sound of his
voice as he told us to save ourselves,
though the very act was to insure his
death.
The Swallow-Tailed Coat.—'The
conventional dress coat has been called
the “swallow tail,” the “steel pen,” the
“claw-hammer,” the “two-tined,” and
other picturesque and somewhat oppro
brious names. It has been, a fashionable,
but never much loved garment, and there
is a certain popularity about the man
who, despite the demands of society,
boasts that he never owned one. The
great majority of men who possess a dress
coat, not being very wealthy, and not be
ing able to purchase one every year, are
unhappy. It cannot be laid aside like a
wedding-dress, and looked at in solitary-
moments on rainy days, because if it is
packed away it comes from the press with
an unusual appearance, indicating that
the wearer has not been invited out much.
Many men, especially if they have a dress
coat, grow stouter or thinner every year,
so that the dress coat, being a very sensi
tive thing, not amenable to tucks or wise
repairs, resents the insult by making the
wearer appear ridiculous; and perhaps a
man is never so absurd as when he gasp
ingly and sheepishly says to a crowd of
thinner persons, “Does anybody want to
buy a dress coat ?
Crescent spring Water.
For several years had been affected
with gravel of the kidneys. My urine
was carefully analyzed and found to con
tain nearly half an. ounce of uric acid.
I had not taken the water three days until
the quantity was reduced fifty per cent.,
and three weeks after, a last analysis
showed the urine free from gravel,.

“All is Wefl that Ends WelL”
We are quite sure that the intelligence
published elsewhere, that on the one Aim-
‘ dred and seventy-fourth hallot, in the
! sixth congressional convention assem
bled at Milledgeville, our talented and
worthy immediate representative, Colonel
James H. Blount, received every vote of
that body, will be received with the live
liest satisfaction by nine-tenths of his con
stituents.
There really was no pronounced
and personal opposition to Mr. Blount,
but, on the contrary, even the most
earnest of his opponents free
ly conceded that he had made
an able, faithful and efficient member of
the national legislature.
The only difficulty in the way was the
“latter day” idea of rotation in office,
based upon localities. Onr friends in the
upper portion of the district felt a little
restive aud dissatisfied because Colonel
Blount had been chosen for four consecu
tive terms, to the seeming neglect of their
own section. Hence the attempt to dis
place him, or rather to promote some citi
zen of their own.
Bnt even by the action of the primaries,
we see that there was really no animus or
combination against Col. Blount, as no
less than three gentlemen were voted for
by the several counties, Mr. Barton re
ceiving on the first hallot 6 votes, Mr.
Glover 2, and Mr. l’reston 0.
It is true that upon a conference these
opposing elements united aud voted solid
ly, first for one and then for auother can
didate; hut when the struggle had pro
gressed through a whole day and the
greater portion of another, and the “moun
tain” composing a decided majority of the
entire district stood firmly for Blount, a
change came “o’er the spirit of their
dream” and better counsels prevailed. It
began to be realized that Col. Blount was
no sectional candidate but the spontane
ous choice of a vast majority of the dis
trict—that he had labored faith
fully and industriously, not only for
his immediate constituents, but for tlie
whole commonwealth; that he had also
rendered sigual service, as the acting
chairman of the committee on appropria
tions, to the country at large; in short,
that he was an able, untiring and influen
tial representative, who had discharged
with fidelity every trust confided to him,
and was therefore worthy of-the continued
support of his constituents.
Then, after Bibb county had compli
mented with her six votes several of the
gallant gentlemen who led the opposition
there was a “breaking of ranks” amid the
greatest enthusiasm, and all went to
Blount.
We congratulate the people of Georgia at
the auspicious termination of this holly
disputed contest. May we not hope that
it will poist a moral and afford a prece
dent for the guidance of the gubernatorial
convention which meets at Atlanta on the
4th proximo.
And now, in conclusion, we simply in
voke the Democracy of the sixth district
to organize without delay and roll up
such a majority for Blount, Hancock and
English as never has been witnessed in
the annals oi the past.
“Colquitt and Gokdon abe Simply
Demagogues of the Most Unique
Shape.”—These are the words of the Car-
tcrsville Free Press, and certainly go
very far to prove that the virus of Inde-
pendentism is fatal to Democratic senti
ment. How can a journal which profess
es to be Democratic speak so disrespect
fully of two of the most prominent and
trusted leaders of the party ? Is it right,
or loyal to do so ? This paper is person
ally partial to Colonel Hardeman, and
would rejoice to see our distinguished fel
low citizen made governor of Georgia.
But would that justify us in attacking
Colonel Lester, General Gartrell, Judge
Warner or Governor Colquitt, all of them
good and tried Democrats, and patriots,
because they stand in the way of the suc
cess of our favorite?- Not so. We honor
and respect all of "these gentlemen, and
will accord a cheerful and earnest support
to any one of them if nominated by the
convention.
It is this unnatural internecine warfare
in the Democratic camp that causes us to
tremble for the success of the party. We
beg brother Willingham to pause and re
flect ere he allows his prejudices to dis
rupt and dismember the only organiza
tion that can preserve local government at
the South and secure-to us the blessings
of constitutional liberty. We know that
at heart he is a true Democrat.
Princeton College and Drain
age.—The trustees of Princeton college
some weeks ago appointed a commission,
consisting of Dr. E. G. Janeway, of the
New York board of health; Dr. Hunt, of
the New Jersey State board of health, and
Mr. Philbrick, of Boston, the eminent
civil and sanitary engineer, and commit
ted to them the entire sanitary question of
the college. These gentlemen have made
a thorough examination of the drainage
and plumbing of the institution; have
caused the most thorough cleansing and
disinfection of the entire establishment,
and have prepared an entirely new plan
of sewerage and plumbing, which will be
carried out under the immediate super
vision of 3Ir. Philbrick. Every descrip
tion of plumbing is to be removed from
.the dormitories; the closets are to be
placed outside of the public buildings,
and these gentlemen aver that when the
college session opens there will be no pub
lic institution in the country so thor
oughly protected as Princeton college so
far as sanitary arrangements are con
cerned.

haye-fbrmed a company, ora number of

that the railroad commissioners will or
can give the necessary authority, since it
is doubtful that the legislature itself can

the 25th. “The weather continued fine,
and nothing particular occurred until on
the 6th of July, at 8 o’clock in the morn
ing. We were going along, eight and a
half knots per hour, with a smooth sea,
when all at once the engine stopped, and
we found an after crank shaft broken
short off.
began to dismantle the shaft and take the
engine to pieces. We worked night and
day until the 12th. On theevening of the
12th we were ready to start again, having
put in a new shaft. There is a story
connected with this shaft. When I bought

the greatest fight you ever heard of for

Lieut. Gorringe.”
The Austrian bark was bound for Con-
stantiuople, but promised to stop at Gi
braltar to send this dispatch.
By the skill and energy of Commander
Gorringe he has been enabled to reach
New York before the hark has reached
Gibraltar, and he will accordingly tele
graph at once to Mr. Sprague, our consul
at Gibraltar, not to forward the dispatch.
“This broken shaft,” Lieut. Commander
Gorringe continued, “has delayed us for
pbout eight days. There is one thing you
can say, the obelisk has arrived and there
is not a sqnare inch broken of it. It is
70 feet long, S feet square at the base and
5 feet 3 inches at the top. It weighs 200
tons. The pedestal weighs 42 tonsT The
steps or foundation without the pedestal
weighs 74 tons. The machinery for low
ering it weighs 60 tons. While I was at
Gibraltar Lord Napier, the Governor
General of Gibraltar, came on board with
all his staff and a large party of ladies,
and went down in the hold and examined
it critically—the obelisk and the manner
of its stowage. They expressed them
selves much pleased with all they saw.
Lord Ripon, on his way to India, came
on board at Alexandria and inspected the
obelisk. Tlifere were also many engineers
who came from a great distance to see it
and to observe the manner of its ship
ment. Two Austrian engineers came all
the way from Trieste. I shall take it out
just exactly as I put it in—that is, put
the vessel in the dry deck first.”
This morning the steamer Dessouk,
having the Egyptian obelisk in her hold,
steamed up North river and anchored off
Twenty-third street, where she will prob
ably be for the next few days.
Hancock and English.—Some gos
sip about the fact that the names of Han
cock and English have not as yet appeared
at the head of our editorial columns, hav
ing been reported, it is proper to say that
we considered the omission proper until
the electoral candidates are nominated.
The people cannot vote for Hancock and
English, but must vote for electors. The
point is not of much consequence. Many
of tlie leading papers do place the names
of the presidential candidates in their pa
pers, although their columns arc crowded
in advocacy of the candidates. But when
the electors are nominated, we will put
the whole ticket in the usual place, as
wqjl as do what ever else we can to advo
cate their election.
Jay Gould on the Garfield Ticket.
A special dispatch to the New York
World of the 21st inst. says: Mr. Jay
Gouldlast week visited his former home
in Delaware county, in this State, and
honored Kingston with his presence en
route. While here he spoke his mind
freely on the subject of politics, prophesy
ing the certain election of Hancock aud
English. In conversation with Major
Thomas Cornell, the wealthy forwarder
here—a Republican, by the way—Mr.
Gould unhesitatingly said that he antici
pated the success of the Democratic Pres
idential ticket this fall.
“How is that?” queried Major Cornell.
“Well,” said Mr. Gould, “the fact is,
General Arthur loads down the Republi
can ticket, and aside from that the Demo
crats are thoroughly united on Hancock
and English. I have no hope of carrying
New York, and I believe that as goes
New York so will also go New Jersey at
least, and Connecticut probably.”
Mr. Gould also ventured the remark
that the Republican “machine” had al
ready practically abandoned the presiden
tial fight, and would henceforth concen
trate its efforts upon carrying the various
State legislatures, with the obvious pur
pose of controlling the United States Sen
ate. . •
Mr. Gould’s revelations are important
only as exhibiting the fact that what is
called the money power does not seem to
be a3 much afraid of the Democracy as
some people make out, and that the Trib
une's lot in this contest is not a happy
one. __ _

joked him about it, and he says: “I end

mit. Ex-Governor Seymour writes that
he will come if possible, and so does 3Ir.
Hendricks of Indiana. Senator Keman
and Governor Hampton, of South Caro
lina, also will probably be present. It is
designed to have a series of meetings, of
which the Academy is to be the centre'
imous finding of the Republican commit
tee that reported to the House February
18,1878, through Judge Poland,'- as fol
lows:
“The facts in regard to 3Ir. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that ho
agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares
suait uroKeu j 0 f Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay
Of course we made sail and f or f be same. Mr. Ames received the
eighty per cent, dividend in bonds and sold
them for ninety-seven per cent., and also
received the sixty per cent, cash dividend,
which, together with the price of the stock
and interest, left a balance of $329. This
sum was paid oveno Mr. Garfield by a
check on the sergeant-at-arms, and Mr.
Garfield then understood this sum was
the balance of dividends after paying, for
the stock.”
General Garfield was theu, as now, a
member of the House, but he made no
protest on the floor against the judgment
of his political friends who thus condemn
ed him. This report and the testimony of
Mr. Ames in regard to General Garfield’s
memorandum of Credit Mobilier profits
due to him are the two apparently con
clusive facts against him, and they arc the
two points which he passes in silence in
offering his defense to his countrymen.
Another strange omission in General
Garfield’s defense must attract very gen
eral attention. In his explanation of the
DeGolyer fee of five thonsaud dollars,
paid him for presumed professional servi
ces, he is strangely silent on the solemn
judicial decisions of two courts distinctly
condemning liis fee as corrupt and ille
gal. In a suit brought in the Cook coun
ty Circuit Court off Illinois, to recover
the full amount of the corruption
fund for the Washington paving con
tracts, of which General Garfield’s fee
was a part, the defense demurred on
the ground that the money claimed
was promised to influence the official
action of General Garfield, chairman of
the committee on appropriations, through
whose official favor the fraudulent con
tracts had to be paid by government ap
propriations. Judge Farwell sustained
the demurrer because such contract with
General Garfield was corrupt aud could
not be legally enforced. The trial was
had at Chicago in May, 1875, and the case
was appealed to the Supreme Court of
the United States, where Justice Swayne
delivered the opinion of the court in Oc
tober, 1879, iu the following language:
“The agreement with Gen. Garfield, a
member of congress, to pay him $5,000 as
a contingent fee for procuring a contract,
which was itself ouade to depend upon a
future appropriation by Congress—which
appropriation could only come from a
committee of which he was chairman—
was a sale of official influence, which no
veil can cover against the plainest princi
ples of public policy. No counseior-at-
law while holding high office (much less a
minister of the Gospel, etc.) has a right to
put himself in a position of temptation,
and under pretence of making a legal ar
gument exert his official influence upon
public officers dependent upon his future
action. Certainly the courts of justice
will never lend themselves to enforce con
tracts obtained by such influence.”
Geu. Garfield cannot be ignorant of the
fact that the judicial records of our high
est courts have stamped the De Golyer
fee with infamy, and if he had any expla
nation to offer on the subject, ho should
have met. these fearful judicial deliver
ances against him—the most important of
which was given by a Republican supreme
judge from his on-u State.
Upon the whole, it would l.aye been
better for Gen. Garfield to be silent on all
charges thau to have attempted to answer
them and yet be silent on the points which
most conclusively condemn him.
Ducks vs. Elies.
When a man is thoroughly interested in
something he is reading a very insignifi
cant house-fly can sometimes worry him
a great deal. The other day one of the
officials iu a municipal office was reading.
A fly alighted on his cheek, crawled up
the side of his nose, and there stood fast,
and tastened its talons in the tender cut
icle.
The first clutch with its claws brought
recognition in the shape of a very ener-‘
getic sparring back and forth in front of
the official countenance, but the fly hardly
waited for the disturbance to subside
when he was again snugly bestowed on
the nasal prominence. The persistence
of the insect had worn out the patience of
the man, and he broke out fiercely, “
the flies”
A quiet stranger who had just dropped
iu remarked in tones of the most irritat
ing composure, “I’ll tell you what’s good
for flies.”
“Well, what’s good for flies ?”
“Ducks.”
“Ducks?”
“Yes, ducks. Out to the Lindell car
stables we keep ducks. A car-horse
can rest easy at the Lindell stables.”
“And how is that?” asked the official,
becoming interested.
“Why, they just have plenty of ducks,
1 tell you. Didn’t you ever see a duck
snap a fly ? Whenever the flies get thick
on a horse the ducks gather round and
snap every fly that comes in reach. If a
horse lies down the ducks just crawl all
over him. The horses mighty, soon find
out who their friends are, and^fey’ like to
have the duels come. In fact, if the flies
get bad the horses will lie down to give
the ducks a chance. They are so indus
trious that they keep the flies pretty well
thinned out. I tell you there’s nothing
like ducks for flies.”—St. Louis Bepubli-
can.
SANDERSVILLE MASS MEETING.
“let ns nave Peace and Hardeman.”
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
Sandersville on yesterday was the scene
I of a mass meeting, tbe most enthusiastic
. and noisest, perhaps, that ever met or will
ever meet again at the same place. Last
’ month the ebainnan of the Democratic
executive committee called the party to
gether for the pmpose of electing dele
gates to the State and national conven
tions. Owing to some cause’ in the two
county newspapers (Herald and Courier)
the announcement was not-generally un
derstood by the citizens at large. A con
vention was had, however, and Lester
delegates appointed and received their
credentials from the chairman of tlie
executive committee. The friends of
Gov. Colquitt, declaring this meeting was
not the voice of tde people, called auother
which was to meet yesterday. On last
Thursday' Governor Colquitt and Gen
eral Gorton made speeches in San-
dersville which aroused the Colquittites to
renewed and determined action. Supe
rior Court is still in session, Judge Fate
presiding. Yesterday morning early the
people began to roll in, anxious for the
called convention. At eleven o’clock
court adjourned. The court house was
soon packed and crammed to stifling.
Col. Pringle addressed and explained to
the meeting the objects, etc., of the meet
ing. Mr. Davis arose and expressed him
self as an avowed Colquittite, hut coun
seled harmony and unity, and read his
resolutions, which were conservative to
wards all candidates. Major Newman
read his amendment, which was also con
servative, and tended to coalesce the two
factions. ■ Col. Hines, a prominent Lester
man, made a short speech in behalf of
the previous meeting. All these resolu
tions werfe voted down amidst wild en
thusiasm. At this juncture our genial
and clever friend Dr. Sumerlyn, who has
for sometime been working hard in the
interests of your noble and deserving
Hardeman, entered, and pushed through
the combined and deter
mined Colquittites and Lesterites,
bearing in his hands a banner
attached to a ten-foot pole. On this ban
ner was inscribed, “Let us have peace aud
Hardemau.” This new departure was
received with rounds of applause, and had
the happiest effect. The doctor planted his
Hardemau flag upon the very ramparts
(over the chairman’s head) of the con
tending and opposing factions, aud like
Wade Hampton with his flag of South
Carolina at Cincinnati, never hauled
down his colors. Col. Gilmore addressed
the masses and Rev. Mr. Harris read also
sume resolutions. At last it was ordered
by the chairman that a line he drawn and
friends of the different candidates get on
different sides of the court house. The
Colquittites claimed 175 majority. Col
quitt delegates were appointed. Dr.
Sumerlyn gives notice that a meeting for
the appointment of Hardeman delegates
is to be had. So Washington county will
be represented by Colquitt, Lester and
Hardeman delegates at the State conven
tion. Yours, Warner.

Didn’t Want to See Him.—Whep the
Democrats were on the way to Cincinnati
one of tbe most distinguished Senators of
the Democratic party was invited to stop
at Harrisburg and dine with ex-Senator
Simon Cameron. According to promise
tlie Senator telegraphed to 3Ir. Cameron
his departure from Washington, and was
met and welcomed at Harrisburg by the
aged Senator’s representative in the person
of Don Cameron. Iu the same car was
Gen. Garfield, with whom 3Ir. Cameron
also exchanged greetings. Taking his
guest to ex-Senator Cameron’s house, Don
Cameron said to his father:
“Father, Gen. Garfield is bn the cars at
the depot.” '
. “Is he?” asked the ex-chieftain.
“Yes, sir,” replied his son.
“Well, let him stay.there,” said the
Schuylkill patriot. As the time for the
departure of the train drew near,- Don
Cameron, not quite satisfied perhaps, said:
“Won’t you go down to the train and see
Gen. Garfield, father?’’
Very gruffly came the response: “No;

Poverty of the Bonapartes.—I
gave you recently an account (it was in
tentionally far from a full account) of the
distress into which Prince Pierre Bona
parte’s family had fallen. They are again
on fortune’s crested wave. Roland Bo

the farmer of the gaming tables of Ba

tune to his children, left his widow-
thirty millions of dollars. Roland Bo

He has bought San Donato, Ihriuce
DemidoiPs place, near Florence. The
King of Italy, at Prince Napoleon’s re
quest, has given him the title of Prince of
San Donato. The estate of San Donato
contains seventy-five acres; the palace has
a marble terrace and gilded dome; has
stables for fifty horses; coach houses for
thirty carriages, a‘ riding school; hot, ‘tem

course, delighted. His sister will no

he will no longer look forward eagerly to

John Brougham's Grave.—“To all
ray friends I leave kind thoughts,” said
John Brougham in his last will and testa
ment. It is a characteristic legacy,
and all that poor Brougham
had to give. He never kept enough
of anything, but charity and good
nature, to have a surplus at the end. An
incident at his burial illustrated liis utter
unselfishness through life. The friends
who followed his body to Greenwood
were delayed there some time by the dif
ficulty of getting the coffin into tlie grave
that had been opened lor it, owing to the
space being so narrow. While the friends
waited, the cause of the grave being so
cramped was explained. Nome years
ago a young actress, a stranger -iu the
country*, died in extreme poverty. It was
found difficult to get enough money to
bury her. Brougham had no money to
give, but he ofl'ered a grave in hii plot in
Greenwood. His wife had been buried
at one side of the plot, the friendless
youDg actress at the other, and when the
time came that he, too, should be buried,
there was scarcely enough room remain
ing to receive his body. He had thought
of himself last, as he always did, and liis
generosity hampered him even in the
grave.—Boston Pilot. ___
TnE Florida Orange.—The Jack
sonville Sun and Press says tbe present
season has been very favorable so far for
the growth of the orange tree, and at the
present time the progress made lias been
something wonderful. We have never
witnessed such a healthy, vigorous ap
pearance as the trees present now. The
scale insect, which committed such rav
ages last year, and which appeared for
midable in the early spring, has, where
the trees were properly cared for, nearly
disappeared. The fruit is plump, well
formed, smooth, and very free from rust.
The only specimens of rusty skin we have
observed this year were confined to those
limbs which were affected with scale,
which more and more confirms us in tbe
belief that the rust on tbe orange is due fo
the presence of insects. The crop will
only be a medium one,
known, and the result which Warner’s
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has accom
plished. The above named troubles are
caused by disordered kidneys and liver,
and tbe remedy wbicli cures the cause
banishes the pains which arise from it.

Dr. C. J. Moffett—Dear Sir :Euclos-
ed you will find 50 cents. Please send
me another package of Tecthina. Tho
first package had such a happy result that
I heartily recommend to ail mothers, aa
being all that a mother needs for a teethr
ing babe. My babe was odb of those lit
tle nervous creatures—never sleeping more
than fifteen or twenty minutes at a. time.
After giving the powder It quieted Ilia
nerves, ahd now he sleeps long naps.
Please send as soon as possible, and ob
lige. . Mbs, S. E- Wagnon-
