A revenue officer, while the steamer was aground, went on board, and nosing apcuud. found that the vessel had 190 more passengers aboard than she was al lowed to carry by law; so there will be »ore trouble ahead. ,, Sr.uira. Ishmadite: The tide of lmmi- erai.Vju is beginning to set in slowly in Ohio direction. Every reasonable encour age went should be extended to thrifty Immigrants, who wish to cast in their lots with. t .ir people, and labor to make the ftature of Georgia brighter even than our dreams. If they come for good, let them eotae. Aicumccs Republican: Major J. B. Banter died at the residence of his brother, Hites Hunter, in Screven county, Georgia, so we are informed, one day last week. Jlx\ir Hunter was well known in thissec tion, f.r many years, as a man of sterling qualities ? was of a just and upright char- act.'.', and pure in his dealings with his Ihltow men. He was over eighty years of age, a;nl leaves an unblemished character fbt his friends to emulate. News of the 4th: We are dandy pained to announce this morniDg the death of another child of Rev. Mr. CoTiev, which sad event occurred at Mad ison, Ga., on Saturday last. The deceased vein ihe youngest son, William Bames, aix! '. is attacked with diphtheria at tho as'We time as liis little sister, whose death basl^en announced, but lived a week longer. He was aged four years six months and thirteen days, and was a hrigl.t, interesting child. Thejlieartfelt gyrnnathy of the entire community will be extended the sorely afflicted family. &PABTA Ishmaclite: Isn’t It about time lor U ude Jona'.lian Xorcross, the great examiner, to make another revelation ? Isn’t ;t about time for him to begin to es- (aili-su-tlie fact that he is the Moses of the dispensation, if such, indeed, be the fact la the case ? Uncle Jonathan should take a ruuuing start and come to the front in atvie. TiiOM-S.svir.LE Enterprise: Harry Cole,-!, an honest,, liard-working colored man, was bitten by a rattlesnake while polling fodder on the Pickett place, about three miles from Boston, and died in a very short time. The colored man who came for the whisky said the snake had •xteen rattles. We do not vouch for this las-:, part. Tub Columbus Times says it has been informed that it is a fact that Mr. Wadley isru bought the Savannah and Memphis railroad. A gentleman of Columbus came over the road Wednesday, and was told by one of tbe officials that Col. Wadley ; 'i ! bought the road and would extend it. He also'stated that the Central had se emed the possession of the Western road between Columbus and Opelika. This stives tbe Central a through line to Good- Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday morning a box car containing fifty convicts reached this city from Cedartown, on their way to Macon. The convicts were under the control of two white guards. Th--.se convicts, as wo understand, have for some time past been at work on the Cherokee road, and will now be put to work on the Maron and Brunswick rail road. Wabrenton Clipper: Blackburn, one of t he Turner murderers, has made a full cor.l ission as to how the plans were laid ainl the deed executed. lie is a very il literate tellow, and, it appears, was scared Into taking part in the allair by others tdiinzhloi that Turner liad threatened his life and he wouid have to help kill iuu\ in self-defense. Blackburn is im prisoned iu the court house at Washing- ten, and amuses himself principally with his fiddle. Augusta Chronicle: A crazy fanatic •v.- its “the toiling masses” to go on a big strike, ami, fasting for twenty days, •“bring employers to terms.” We belong to (he “toiling masses” ourselves, but, as at present constituted, we shall take no Tanner in ours. Till further notice we shall take three square meals a day, and thank God that there is something to toil at like honest men. Sparta Ixhmaelile: The contest for Ui* nomination, in the Sixth district con vention, was protracted to the 174th bal lot, on which Mr. J. H. Blount was unan imously renominated. He is, in our opin- iou, one of our veiy best Congressmen. Tlio people have nothing to gain by throw ing overboard good, true and experienced representatives, and placing untried men in their places. Talbotton Register: The Talbotton railroad is an accomplished fact. Grad ing will be completed in about a month, when tbe ties and iron will be laid rapid ly. Forty applications for the position of engineer have been received by President T'uomton. About one hundred and sev enty hands are constantly employed on Ike grading. Mr. Allen, near town, is making good headway, and the depot end of the line is now ready for the location «T the building. - Savannah News: A gentleman iu this city yesterday received the following tele- frram from a grocery firm in Macon: “Send by express immediately six doz en rice birds, four bunches celery and two hunches blackfisb.” Tbe Macon gentleman is evidently not rested as to the seasons ior delicacies, or Le would never have included in his or der at tliis time rice birds and celery. He was notified that he would Iiavc to wait several weeks before liis wishes could be complied with. Thomasville Post: Colonel Charles S. Rockwell, so well known throughout ( bis section as an eminent educator and Jiethodist minister, died at his residence in this city about 8 o’clock this morning. For several years he had been afllicted With paralysis, and for the last year or so unable to attend to any duties'. He en tertained very little hope of recovery, and his friends saw with sorrow the gradual wasting away of his fine physical powers. Col. Rockwell served faithfully in die Confederate war as captain of the Thom asville Guard, was ever a pure-minded, upright, Christian gentleman, and pos sessed a solidity of mental powers and in structive art very few can hope to attain, ile was 07 years of age. Albany Advertiser. We learn that Mr. Ben Sykes, of Worth, who was recently shot by his step-son, young Ford, rumor ways, for abusing the lad’s mother, will not die from the wounds, hut is fast re covering. For the sake of young Ford, (liis piece of information will be gladly received in this city. if the rejwrt be true about Mr. Sykes beating the mother, because her heart went out in sympathy to her son, and t'iiat maternal love which has its exist ence even in the brute creation prompted Iwr to intercede in his behalf, young Ford deserves to be honored for resenting tho insult offered his mother, a defenseless vveuiau, by the man of all others to whom she should look for protection, and who, bad at the altar, sworn before God and r.>an “to shield and protect” her through i'fe from ali harm. But if the report be untrue, young Ford should be aught a les- -~.on tliat he will not soon forget. Marietta Journal: Rev. Dr. E. W. Warren, of ifacon, preached an able ser mon at the Baptist church Sunday night, jji this place, to a large congregation. Ha ti! one of the most jiopular ana beioved di-. -iues in Georgia, lie preaches with great' ■aariMStnais, power and feeling, aud is at the -ue time concise and pointed, never f- lllng-to impress and rivet the attention •T 'us bearers. There is always a warm •• icoine in the hearts of our people for experiments—were interchanged with the utmost freedom, and the colloquial char acter of the discussion imparted unusual freshness to the proceedings. The exhi bition of fruits was large and satisfactory, and the result of the convention will pro mote, even in a larger degree than the friends of the society anticipated, the im provement and progress 'of the horticul tural interests of the State. ■ The convention adjourned yesterday without day, but it will reassemble in Atlanta next year at the call of the ex ecutive committee of the society. We may state, in advance, that while the session that has just adjourned was successful, the meeting next year will be conspicuously so. The interest of the members will not be greater, hut its influence will be more widely extended. The objects which the horticulturists have in view will benefit not only the important branch of indus try in which the society is directly inter ested, but will result in the development and substantial improvement of all tho agricultural interests of Georgia. The society, in fine, should bo fostered by every citizen who has the material prog ress of the State at heart. Col. W. H. Woods, of Rome, died on Tuesday evening last. He was one of the most prominent citizens of Floyd county, honored and respected by all. He was about seventy-five years of age. A whiter in the Atlanta Post is very anxious to break up the harmony of the Democratic party, aud have two political factions. He fanatically argues that it is the necessity of the hour. Of course, every Radical believes that. Atlanta Post: The fifth district delegates decided in the caucus to present Judge John J. Hall, of Spalding, for presi dential elector, and Hon D. P. Hill, of Fulton, for alternate. This selection ex cites comment for the reason that the elec tor inrthe last presidential campaign was from Spalding, aud that county appears to be having a little too much of a good thing. If the gentlemen-on the ticket exchanged places it would, perhaps, have suited bet ter. Cartersyille Express: A horrible tragedy was enacted at Cedartown, the other day. Jack Robinson, because of the belief in the unfaithfulness of his wife, cut her throat, and then, after two deadly aimed shots at his own person, cut Jus own throat from ear to ear. He was soon dead, but his wife’s wound though serious is certainly not fatal. The Advertiser gave us an interesting account of tbe af fair. Savannah News: About 9 o’clock yesterday morning Charles Brown, a sea man on the schooner Island City, lying at the Upper Press wharf, was accidentally drowned. He was engaged at work on the vessel, when he accidentally fell over board and sank beneath the surface of the water. Several persons who witnessed the accident made preparations to rescue him as he arose above the water but he was not seen after he fell. It is supposed that he was rendered partially insensible by the fall and was carried away by the tide. Throughout yesterday efforts were being made to- recover the body, but with out success. The deceased was a native of Denmark, and was a hard working in dustrious man. Albany News: Yesterday’s Macon Telegraph says: “Gen. W. S. Holt presides over the Central Georgia Bank during the absence of Col. J. E. Jones. Gen. Holt contemplates opening a bank in Albany.” We sincerely trust that General Holt will carry oat his intention. Albany’s greatest commercial need is a well man aged bank, aud snch an institution would pay well. General Holt is a gentleman of ample means, and a successful finan cier, and under his charge the bank would do a fine business. We hopefully await the enterprise and trust it may soon be established. The following snake is according to Hoyl of the Dawson Journal: A rattle snake measuring eight inches in circum ference and four anil a half feet long, crawled from under Mr. A. J. Harp's boose in this county, on last Friday. It was killed, and on examination, it was found to contain several young chickens. These snakes are quite numerous this year, and now that weeds and grass are m yards dying, it is quite dangerous for children to be allowed to play out of doors alone. j'jiBState Horticultural Society. ' Constitution: The session of the horticultural society, which closed ‘■i tl'.i.- city yesterday, may be said to :ika new era in the progress and de- iojiiueut of one oi Lire most important -niches ol industry In Georgia. The ■ liberationi of tbe convention, apart : >.■<: i'ue na'ural interest of the members lie- :-ocic:/, was marked by a degree of tJiosiamn not generally boon in such .'.e riiu,*. There was nothing formal si the convention. The views of the members—the n.-mlts ot experience and The M. & B. Railroad.—Eastman Times: “Starts nowhere and ends no where.”—R. Too.nbs. Mr. E. E. Wilkins, the railroad agent at this place, forwarded on Monday last to the office of the road at liacon„ $1.056— his weekly remittance. If Uncle Bob Toombs were to come down this way and see tbe quantities of freight being transported over the Macon and Brunswick road, even at this dull season, wonder if he wouldn’t elevate his ideas a little of this section of Georgia? And if he would just spare the time and stop over a day or two with us, and let us carry him around through the pine woods and show him a few of the big saw mills and turpentine farms, and our corn and cotton fields, with our sugar cane and potato patches, together with other farm products and flocks of sheep and cattle, we think it would tend to relieve the old gentlemen of much of his biliousness Griffin News: About three years ago, one night, a negro man living near Bush chapel this side of Flat Shoals, was called out of his house and murdered by John Lunceford, colored. After the deed was committed, Lunceford disappeared and the most careful search failed to discover his whereabouts until a few weeks ago Sheriff Bussey, ot Pike, who is also a shrewd detective, got on his track and ar rested him in Alabama. When arrested Lunceford wa3 so greatly terrified that hd almost fainted. He was brought back to Georgia, and is now safely lodged in the county jail in Zehulou awaiting his trial. Augusta Chronicle: While takings ride near the city, a few days since, the writer noticed thata large section of coun try along the old Southwestern plankroad, which was devoted to watermelons a few years ago, is now planted in corn and sweet potatoes. Not a melon vine could be seen where once some of the finest melons brought to tills market were pro duced. The fanners in that section have been compelled tostop planting melons on account of the melon disease. The Columbus Times of the 5th says’: Mr. Wm. J. Barton, who was shot by Mr. C. J. Willis a few weeks ago, died at his residence in this city yesterday morn ing about 11 o’clock. Mr. Willis has surrendered himself to the sheriff, and is anxious for an investi gation. The same paper makes the following announcement: Mr. M. Dancer, who resided in Wynn- ton, died yesterday morning about seven o’clock in the sixty-eighth year of his age. A few weeks ago he came into the city and when returning home and near Springer’s opera house, his horse became lrightened and ran away with him,throw ing him out of the buggy. He received injuries which caused his death. He was a native of South Carolina and came to this city about forty years ago, where he has since resided. He was at one time a member of the mercantile firm of Gamble <Sfc Dancer and was in the dry goods busi ness. Sir. Dancer was more or less in the cotton business. Woods, of Hawklnsville, lias aban doned the gourd question, and comes to the front with the following dog story: Eighteen days ago last Tuesday, Mrs. C. T. Goode, of this place, left home for a trip to the springs. Before leaving she instructed a colored girl to lock all the doors of her dwelling, and turn the keys over to a neighbor, ar.d at the same time telling the girl to look after and take care of a small dog of the terrier species. The who will allow himself to be sacrificed in such a manner. He who takes the field against H. G. Turner will be sure to find bis political grave in November. The Oglethorpe Echo reports a serious accident to Colonel Nash, of Madison county, who, it says, was in the upper part of the county—somewhere near a Mr. Allen’s—when his mare took fright in some way, and ran away, throwing the colonel from the buggy to which she was bitched. In his fall, Colonel Nash re ceived several cuts and bruises about the face and head, besides other injuries to different parts of his body. LaGhange Reporter: Mr. B. H. Brown, of Harrisonville district, has some land that has been cultivated about forty years, on which he expects to make a hale of cotton to the acre. The land is level and he has been enriching it three years. Rome Tribune: Four of the Germans late.ly from the North came from Cedar town yesterday. They complain of ill treatment and represent that they were badly fed and housed with convicts. It is perhaps well to add that the superinten dents both at Alabama Furnace and at Cedartown are Northern men, hence their treatment of these Germans does not rep resent the South. Republicans who run slander organs will do well to note this fact. Augusta" News: Mrs. Wodehouse, nee King, of Georgia, who was recently married to the Marquis of Anglesey, re ceived as a bridal gift from her husband a necklace of diamonds containing thirty- five stones. It was originally owned by the ex-Queen Isabella, of Spain, and is valued at about $20,000. Barnesville Gazette: Last Friday a rare and sail incident occurred at Zebulon. Young Frack'Harrison liad been arrested by Sheriff Bussey and Bailiff Jackson and brought to Zebulon to be tried for bas tardy. While the court was getting ready for the trial a brother of young Harrison secured a horse and placed him near the prisoner without the bailin' detecting his purpose. When au opportunity offered, Harrison leaped on the horse and at tempted to make his escape. Bailiff Jack son-mounted his horse and pursued him, Harrison getting considerable start of the bailiff. In his desire to speed the horse he pressed him too hard over rough road and the horse fell to the ground, at the same time falling on the rider and so in juring him that he died in a short while afterward. This was the second arrest for - the same offense, the unfortunate mother having consented to dismiss the proceedings in case he would agree to help her support the child. He agreeing to do this, the case was dismissed. His failure to comply with the agreement was the cause of his arrest last Friday. Christian Index: Rev. G. A. Nunnal- ly, the able and popular pastor of the Rome Baptist church, has been again elected financial agent for Mercer Univer sity. Ho lias declined this position sever al times before, but the trustees, having confidence in his ability and fitness, still press the work upon him. It is not yet known that he will accept, but if he does, his talents and his business qualities and great popularity will insure success. His church is unwiiling to give him up, and then there are other places of honor and usefulness being tendered him. Which ever cause he espouses will be fortunate in securing the services of one of the closest thinkers and readiest talkers in the State. Saxdebsyille Herald: From that obliging officer. Capt. 1. Herman, tax re ceiver of Washington county, we learn that there are in the county, white polls 1,749, the number of colored 1,679. The number of white defaulters as taxpayers is 169 a larger number than the past year. The number of lawyers in the county is IS; doctors 26; dentists 2; and the number of working hands is 2,788. There are in the county 107,869 acres of land, valued at $1,S90,&07. Sanders- ville city property is valued at $200,064. The total value of county property is $2,- 697,467. The increased value of property in the countv owned by whiles, over 1677 is $210,704. The increase of property owned by col ored this year over the last'is $17,769. But few counties can exhibit a more gratifying increase in population and wealth than old Washington. We think the returns will when fully known, show Washington to rank about the fifth in the State in population. Oglethorpe Echo: After twenty-four years of separation a once favorite daugh ter was restored to the affectionate em braces of her aged father. She was ac companied by ber daughter and son-in- law, neither ot which the grandfather had ever before seen. She was discarded on account cf making an objectionable match. After a grievous drought of fifty-seven days onr parched fields have been flooded witft Leavy rains. What effect it will have on the cotton crop very few can haz ard a guess. All agree that it depends entirely upon the length of the rainy sea son and lateness of the fall. Corn, ex cept the late crop, has been cut off two- thirds. Potatoes, peas and the fall crops will be greatly benefited. First District.—Quitman Reporter: The Democrats of the first congressional district will hold their convention Thurs day, September 16th, in the city of Sa vannah. We hope they will show their appieciation for services rendered by nominating Col. W. T. Thompson. There is no man in the district more worthy the confidence and esteem of the party and none to whom the party is so deeply in debted. It is true, it’s a debt of grati tude, but that kind of a debt should be cancelled as well as any other. Let it not be said the Democratic party has proven ungrateful. Brunswick Appeal: The colored vo ters of the fourth Senatorial district held a convention at JeffeaontoD, on Wedne3- pay last, the 28th, and nominated Joe Green, colored, for the State senate. He is said to be a sharp fellow, and popular with his race. On the same day A. Wilson, colored, was nominated by the negroes of Camden for the house of representatives. The about in the vicinity, disappearing for a while and then coming up again to tho boat. This occurred twice, when Cap tain Fonseca, fearing that the animal would get away, determined to kill it and secure the body. Accordingly one of tho sailors, an experienced whaleman, hronght out the harpoon, and watching a good opportunity when tbe monster was com paratively quiet and within proper dis tance, sent the sharp pointed instrument with unerring aim, striking it in the side and penetrating the heart, killing it al most instantly. Blood spurted, copiously from the wound, and the muddy water for a considerable distance around was given a crimson tint. The sailors quickly jumped into the boat, which was hauled up close to tho vessel, and started for their prize, which, after some little difficulty, was secured and hoisted upon deck. The skin, a soft glossy brown, was deft ly removed, and the carcass was thrown into the river. The captain desired to save some of the bones, but found they were of a soft, mushy substance, and could not well be kept. Tho monster weighed about 359 pounds and measured 7f feet from the nose to the tail, and 4-J feet across the back. Most of those m the party had seen sea lions, and were con vinced from the skin displayed that the monster which had invaded the usual placid waters of the Savannah was a sea lion. McVille Georgian: We learn that on last Wednesday morning at No. 5§,' Macon and Brunswick railroad, a fight oc curred between two negro men, in which one was struck on the head and instantly killed. Henry County Weekly: Tenants could be found for at least half a dozen store houses in Hampton, and as many dwel lings, if some capitalist would muster up courage enough to make the investment. Capt. Adair advertised a store house for rent about two weeks ago, and received four or five applicants before tbe week had expired. Who will build them ? Quitman Reporter: The population of Brooks county according to the census enumeration just made, is 11,780; the population in 1870 was 9,342, making au increase of 2, 438. Since our last report Mr. Folsom, the enumerator for the town district, has found additional citizens sufficient to make the population of Quit- man 1,540. So, dear reader, you see we are fast climbing up on tbe 5, OOo claim ed by our friends we would attain by frost. Tbe fact of the busiuess is Quit- man doesn’t propose to be outdone by any place that is smaller than she is. Greensboro Herald: On Friday morn ing last, about 4 o’clock, the dwelling house of Mr. Wiley Wright, near White Plains, caught fire and was soon reduced to ashes. The house was occupied by Mr. Bennett Strozer and family. When the fire was first discovered, the store room, which was adjoining the main part of the buildiug, was in such a sheet of flames that it was impossible to arrest its course. The cause of tbe fire is a mystery. Rust in Cotton.—Americus Republi can: We regret to chronicle the fact of the rapid increase of this baleful blight to cot ton. It is particularly noticeable on the light and sandy soils. The continued rains seem to Lave increased this disease of the plant. Cuthbeet Appeal: Rust has made its appearance in cotton in tills county, It seems that fate is against the farmer. Caterpillars, too, are eating the cotton, and in its present stale, young and ten der, they will do much harm. The fields on the road between Georgetown and the Eufaula bridge, are full of worms, and beginning to web up. We have not yet learned of their appearance in cotton on the hills and ridges, but wouid not be surprised to receive • such intelligence at any time. Albany Advertiser: As we go to press, we learn that little Miss Katie Lehman, daughter of Mr. Fred Lehman, has hap pened to a painful accident. Through carelessness, in some way, she was shot in the face with a parlor rifle, the hall burying itself an inch deep in her cheek. Columbus Times of the 6th: Yester day afternoon about 4:30 o’clock a heavy cloud came from the east and soon a heavy rain began to tall. For nearly two hours it came down in torrents and con tinued raining until night, 3 35-100 inch es having fallen. The sewer, which broke daring the big fresbeti some weeks ago, broke in the same place, in front of the Columbus Iron Works, yesterday. The caving in of the earth left the railroad track exposed to danger and trains will not pass over until it is repaired. The sewer iu the street leading to the upper bridge also caved in and persons getting to the bridge were compelled to go up on the sidewalk next to Col. Mott’s residence. In the eastern part of the city many of the streets were flooded with water. This was the case on Troup from Crawford several blocks below. Forsyth was very much in the same condition. In the neighborhood of the jail the water over flowed the streets and several negroes there moved their families. The colored public schools and the colored churches were also sur rounded with water, the sewer at the jail not being large enough to carry it away. The sand ditch was overflowed and the water spread out on either side. The ne cessity for opening up the sand ditch was very forcibly suggested yesterday, and the street committee should have the work done before tho heavy rains of the fall We heard of no special damage being done to private property, only the spoiling of flower gardens. Last night the passenger train from At lanta and Opelika, on the Western road, stopped at Holland’s crossing and the switch engine went out forthe passengers. Hands were at work patting iu a new bridge, and we learn that the work was all washed away: No mail was received by that road last night. We were unable to find out the amount of damage done to the road. Owing to the damage to the approach of the Mobile and Girard Railroad bridge by the break iu the sewer, Mr. W. L. Clark, the superintendent, has telegraphed all trains on that road to Jay over till further BAYAED ON HANCOCK. ----- f V»11 WAb iUflU IU JOY VIPi Li II JUiLUCi race issue is proposed by these people, orders.

Savannah News: Tho party, compris ing the sanitary commissioners and city officials, who proceeded to Quarantine Station yesterday morning on tbe tug J. W. Lynu, on an inspecting tour, were surprised to learn on reaching the station that the brig Julia, now anchored there, Had on board the skin oi a sea lion, which had been killed aud captured a few hun dred yards from the Quarantine wharf early on Monday morning. The skin was stretched on a- frame and was perfect, showing the entire form. Mr. G. J. Galiona, with Messrs. Tunno & Co., to whom the vessel is consigned, was ot tlie party, ami acted as interpreter, obtaining from Captain Foncsca" the fol lowing account of the capture of this monster of the deep, the first of the kind probably that baa ever been seen iu these waters. Captain Fonesea states that dur ing Sunday night the crew heard a singu lar roaring noise proceeding from tbe ship’s boat which was lying alongside the vessel, having been in use for communi cating with the quarantine station, and girl _locked the house as directed, and • on looking closely discovered -some huge missing the little dog, decided that it had object crouching in the bottom.

But the moment this was done the lion took to the water and' played Savannah will stop Id Girard. The in coming passenger this morning will await instructions at some telegraphic point down the road. The supervisor of the road has been sent for aud will be at the wash this morning and the place soon made secure, and by evening ui is probable all trains will be running as usual. RAIN AT OTHER PLACES. Mr. Cook, tbe mail rider from Flor ence, itiforms us tliat the rain all the way from Jamestown was very heavy. It be gan raining at 12 o’clock and rained on him all the way to Columbus. It began raining at Union Springs about two hours before it did in this city. The rain was also heavy at Seale and points along the Mobile and Girard railroad. At Geneva it began raining about two o’clock and a young flood was poured out. Thus far, the only damage of which we have heard is the wash on the Mobile and Girard road in this city, and on tho Wes tern road at Holland's crossing The burgomaster of Ober-Ammergau protests against the practice of some of the English tourist agencies in selling tickets for the Passion play and making definite promises as to the hours of performance. He says: “We do not wish the spectacle pf Our Lord’s passion, now presented here for two hundred and thirty years, to be made a scheme for money making by foreign speculators.” He protests also against the profanation of the intention of the play. It is not a money-making en terprise or a common show, but it is a common exercise which has descended as a vow from the ancestors of the present dwellers of Ober-Ammergau. The people itf the place have done their best to make odgers welcome and comfortable at a reasonable price, but seem to be some what annoyed by the rush of crowds of the irreverent, who are simply sigbt-seers, and who fail to form a proper conception pf the spirit in which the play is per formed. Hancock’s Letter to Sherman a Model - of Simplicity and Statesmanlike Force of character. A correspondent of the New York World, wbio visited Senator Thomas F. Bayard at his office in Wilmington, Del., Monday, to ask his opinion on General Hancock’s letter to Gen. Sherman, writes as follows: Mr. Bayard said that the first thing to be noted in the letter was the quiet and unconscious force of character displayed in it. “Letters,” he said, “written with an object are like all prearranged affairs open to the suspicion that some things are deliberately suppressed and others made unduly emphatic. This letter ex hibits Hancock, the patriot and soldier, writing out his unpremeditated views upon a grave, political crisis. The letter was called out by repeated letters from his military superior. He did not origi nate the correspondence, as the opening sentences show. To ap preciate its full force and meaning you must have seen and known, as I did, what-was then going on In Washington and at tbe war department. Troops even then, under Cameron’s inspiration and with President Grant’s approval, were being moved towards Washington. The army liad overthrown already the Louisi ana election, for Wells and Anderson and their negro colleagues would not have dared to pervert tbe returns unless they had been backed and protected by the military arm of the United States govern ment. Florida and South Carolina had suffered the same fate, and the work only remained to he consummated at Washing ton in February by a repetition on. a national scale of the frauds committed in New Orleans and elsewhere in Novem ber.” “How do you think the letter will affect the popular judgment of Hancock’s politi cal abilities.” “It will dispose forever of the pretense that he is a mere soldier, a “namby-pam by” sort of man, with no ideas concerning polities and civil government. He has as distinct views concerning public affairs as any man I know, and he gives expression to some of them in this very letter with a simplicity and directness that - make his presentation as strong as any that was made by any man of his views on these subjects before Congress or the electoial commission during the pendency of the electoral dispute. Contrast his language concerning tbe decision of the South Car olina Supreme Court with Gen. Grant’s answer to Senator Randolph, who cited that decision to him, and was bluntly told by Grant that he cared nothing for the decision of the court. Indeed, Gen. Han cock’s views of public duty form the most decided contrast to those of Grant. “How can I, a soldier, best sustain a govern ment of law ?’ always seemed to be Han cock’s inquiry. ‘How can I, a soldier, best assert my military power, despite the restraint of laws ?’ seemed to be the usual thought with Grant.” “What do you think of his allusion to the proper mode of settling the count of the electoral voice ?” “Having given the constitutional ques tions connected with the election of Presi dent and and Vice President and the con trol of the two houses ot Congress much thought and study, I must freely confess that General Hancock has emphasized in his letter the true meaning of the consti tution in such a way aud with such force as to give me new and stronger light upon the subject. He presents with great clear ness the idea of the separate deposits of power in tbs House of Representatives and in the Senate in the case of the ina bility of the two houses in joint session to to unite iu a declaration that a majority of the electoral vote? have been delivered for any candidate. In tliat case the duty ot choosing a President immediately de volves on the House of Representatives, voting by States, while the duty of choos ing a Vice President devolves on the Sen ate. Tliis line of separate action is con tinued in analogy by the separate power given the Senate alone to elect as Presi dent its own presiding officer in the event of the death of the' President and Vice President. In that election the House of Representatives has no voice.” “You think, then, that is the best part of his letter?” “No, I will not say that. The golden sentences in the letter, in my judgmen’ are these : ‘The army should have noth ing to do with the election or inauguration of a .President.’ ‘The people elect the President.’ ‘The Congress declares in joint session who he is.’ ‘0.ur system does not provide that one President should in augurate another; there might be danger in that, and it was studiously left out of the charier.’ Here is the keynote of the difference between Hancock and Grant- ism. If Grant Lad held the doctrine of Hancock’s letter there never would have been an electoral commission or any need for one. It was the threat of Grant that he would inaugurate as President the can didate who he decided ought to be inau gurated, and that he would do it by force if necessary, which made it requisite that an unusual device should be adopted to preserve the forms at least of law infilling the office and to prevent a storm in which our system of government would have been wrecked.” Mr. Bayard spoke freely of his recent visit to Gen. Hancock, and said that, though he had often met the general be fore, his recent conversation had im pressed-him more strongly than ever with his knowledge and correct judgment of public affairs. “Anybody,” he said, “who imagines that Hancock will depend on some one else for his ideas of civil admin istration will have to surrender that opin ion on reading this admirable letter, written out iu Missouri, where he had not even the aid of a clerk. Furthermore,” said the Senator, “Gen. Hancock has, in this letter, presented the great Issue raised by the fraud of 1876 to the American peo- pel with the force which really belongs to it, and divested of all that may have tended to weaken or obscure it. It is an issue we should never lose sight of, for our country cannot with safety endure a repetition of such grave wrongs as were successfully perpetrated in 1876. Our people would cither abandon all respect for and interest in their elections, or they would take up arms to make them re spectable.” Mr. Bayard concluded tlic interview as follows: “General Hancock’s letter is in the highest sense a state paper, though not intended to be one. It is devoid of the formalities which attach to official communications, hut it deals witli a most difficult problem of constitutional powers with wonderful clearness aud force. Tho mau who shall hereafter deny to Hancock tho meed of having ably dealt, and in a high spirit of patriotic statesmanship, with the most serious and difficult crisis in our recent history, will stultify himself. This letter puts an end to the cry of the ‘mere soldier.’ Mr. Schurz will have to make liis campaign speech over again, for Han cock’s letter ha* destroyed its point.” Hancock’s Sherman Letter. The Philadelphia Press (Independent) says of the letter: It is most fortunate for General Han cock and equally fortunate for the coun try, that partisan organs have so distorted this letter as to make its publication a public necessity. That it will be a cam paign document of priceless advantage to General Hancock is his just advantage, for he merits all the considerate approval that such a letter must command from both friend and foe; but the great benefit of the publication will be to the country, as a chart for the people and for disputing partisans in future conflicts. The whole theory of our free government is summed up by General Hancock in the following brief paragraph: “The army should have nothing to do with the selection or inauguration of presidents. The people elect the Presi dent. The Congress declares in a joint session who he is. We of the army have only to obey his mandates and are pro tected in so doing only so far as they may be lawful.” Politicians may quibble and organs may defame, but the people of every faith be lieve in law and order aud popular su premacy and the subordination of the mil itary to the civil power; aud they will re joice, regardless of their purpose to favor or oppose Gen. Hancock’s election to the presidency, that he has thus bravely put our reckless politicians to sbame by his clear and statesmanlike elucidation of the rights and duties of our civil and military rulers. * _ There will he no more taunting inqui ries about the authors of General Han cock’s orders or letters. It will not be disputed that he wrote the Sherman let ter, and none but the blindest or stupidest of Garfield leaden will deny that Repub lican folly has brought .to fight the most superb campaign document ot the day. It will be read everywhere; what is more important, everybody will fully under stand it, and what is most vital to General Hancock and General Garfield, everybody will approve it from the making of fences, cutting down trees and repairing build ings, to the lucid interpretation of the rel ative prerogatives of statesmanship and the sword in maintaining and administer ing free government.

Baquedano had his headquarters in it. Hundreds of wounded and prisoners were slaugh tered in cold blood. Not one wounded was found alive on the field the day suc ceeding the battle. Women and girls of tbe tenderest age were violated and many killed. The farms near by and their in habitants shared the common fate with tbe town. Every day six, eight or ten murders are committed, while the bodies Of victims are allowed to remain Unburied, until tbeir removal becomes a piatter of necessity. Arica suffered more than Tacna. Ail thn house* are either totally or partially destroyed. Out of 1,800 defenders only 000 survive. Those of the 1,200 who did. not fall In the fight were subsequently massacred in cold blood. It is a well authenticated fact that 49 soldiers, who had thrown away their arms and taken refuge in tbe United States Commercial Agency, over which a flag was flying, were taken up and butchered an the sti jet.” Farmers ought to give Foutz’s Cele brated Horse and Cattle powders to their stock during the changeable weather , of winter and spring. They will prevent disease. 2w Fastine Without Miracle. The religious press does not seem to be impressed with the dangers to which Christianity may be exposed by the success of Dr. Tanner in going forty days with out food. It is argued in some quarters that it will remove the superficial objec tion that the Savior’s fast was a physical impossibility, for if Dr. Tanner can ab stain from food for forty days, Jesus Christ could Lave performed the same feat unaided by supernatural means. The Methodist says: “We have no special anxiety to see the breadth of mi racle reduced, but its reduction would not alarm us. The supernatural element is too large and various in form to be de stroyed by such substructions.” The same journal points the minor moral that those -people who every year fast forty days by changing their food, should learn that the real tiling, of which they perpe trate a sham, is possible, and they should be induced to do a little real fasting next' year, say for five days, or by eating only one frugal meal daily. The Baptist Weekly facetiously remarks that Dr. Tauner’s endurance is really en couraging to congregations who believe that a pastor should live by bread alone. “That old minister,” it adds, “who knew that a church would not support a pastor and thought they had better pray for Ja cob's ladder to let him down from heaven every Lord’s day, and take him back after the services of the day were ended, might, if he lived now, see, by what Dr. Tanner has endured, that such a miracle as he proposed is unnecessary.” The Buffalo Christian Advocate will be in a most embarrassing position if Dr. Tanner survives bis fast, for it takes this nariow view of the case: “ne who creates and performs miracles could, if He should so choose, miraculously keep a human body in such a condition that the soul might remain in it for forty days without food. But that any man without divine interference could live for that length of time is not according to experience or reason. Waste must have supply or life become extinct. Dr. Tanner must in some way have nourishment, a miracle be wrought, or before forty days he must die. AN EIGHT-POUND BAT, Being One or Elgin Hundred and Nineteen Bats Killed in a Beer Yanlt. The Cabinet and the Whittaker Case, The cabinet has a yellow elephant on its hands in the Whittaker case, which it had determined to dispose of last Tues day, but whether it did so or not is un known. A World dispatch says : It will be remembered that the admin istration and the Republican party—the latter through dignified Senators on the floor of the Senate Chamber, and the former by District-Attorney Martin Townsend and Assistant District-Attorney Fiero—supported the negro cadet as an embodiment of virtue, and treated the West Point authorities as little better than savages. When, after Mr. Townsend bad deserted tbe case because Professor Greener became satisfied through the ex perts iu handwriting that Whittaker him self wrote the note of warning, the court of inquiry, after a patient hearing, report ed that Whittaker mutilated himself, it was thought that the case Was at a satisfactory end. Few persons believed that it would be long considered at Washington, but few persons thought anything of the careful way in which Sen ators had expressed themselves as to the merits of the case, and had thereby made it a Republican campaign issue. When, later, the academic board found the negro cadet deficient, the people and the pres3 no longer bothered themselves about it, lor they thought that if Whittaker, with a mere bodkin punch in his cars had not given himself his quietus, the academic board bad finished him. Little do such unsuspecting and honest folks know of the Republican political methods. They had no idea of giving up the negro so easily. They preferred even to have the acade my—tho school from which were gradua ted Grant and Sherman and Thomas— brought into disrepute than to lose one point in the political game. Whittaker in uniform still struts pretentiously around West Point, apparently enjoying his un enviable notoriety. And to-morrow, as I am well informed, tbe cabinet in special meeting is to discuss the Whittaker case, the merits of which stand just in this way. The judge advo cate general has approved the findings of the court of inquiry and the secretary of war has approved the report of the aca demic board. But still 'Whittaker is at West Point. Why he Is there is a mild subject of speculation at West Point, and likely to-morrow-at least to prove a rather tempestuous question of discussion here. And, bad enough for the discussion in the cabinet, matters are complicated by a bill for $700 which Mr. Martin I. Townsend, district attorney for the northern district of New York, has put in against the war department for services rendered in the court of inquiry at West Point. Why this hill should not be at once rejected is ex plained by a person who knows in this way. He says that there i3 no doubt that Townsend was sent to West Point with specific instructions to make political cap ital. To offend Townsend would proba bly provoke him now that he sees the cer- .tamty of the Republican downfall into “giving away” the administration on this disreputable transaction. Those tfho know the facts wonder what the amount of the bill will be rendered by Assistant District Attorney Fiero. A country doctor presented his ac count to a patient who had been quite ill, but was now well. Tbe ex-patient listen ed attentively to tbe account be>'ng read by the medical man as follows: For med icines, so much; for visits, so much. Fi nally, with an air of generosity and can dor, lie says: “Well, doctor, I have no money now, but will pay you for the medicine next fall. The visits I will try and return.” Franklin, Pa., July 31.—Twenty years or so ago Herman Minnich owned a brewery along French creek, in this place. A storage vault or tunnel belonging to the breweiy was excavated in the hillside nearly two hundred feet in length. There was a great flood in the creek in 1865, and the water threatened to fill the vault. A large quantity of beer was stored there at the time. In attempting to save the beer from being carried away Brewer Minnich was drowned. Phillip Grossman now keeps a saloon near the vault, which he uses to store cheese, bologna, and beer in. The vault for some time has been over run with rats of an enormous size. They frequent the tunnel in such numbers and are so bold and aggressive that Grossman has long found it necessary to take some one along to fight the rats away while he takes out cheese or beer. The cheese Is kept covered with tinjeases through which the rats cannot gnaw. Among Grossman’s children there are two boys—Pliilly 13, and Eddie 8 years old. They are both extremely fond of Swiss cheese. A few days ago they deter mined to make a raid on the stores of their favorite cheese in the old brewery vault. They knew it would be necessary to figbt an a:my of rats in order to.secure the prize they coveted, but that did not deter them. Philly armed himself with a heavy piece of hoop iron, and the two boys entered the vault, the younger one cariying a lantern. They had gone a few feet only when the rats began to dispute their passage. Rats scampered about thorn on every side, and it was with iiffi-. culty that Philly kept them off of himself and brother by active wielding of his piece of iron. Some of the rats were of enor mous size, and the army kept the boys en tirely surrounded,moving along toward the further end of the tunnel with them, and keeping up a loud and fierce outcry as they marched. Several times one of the rats, more bold than his companions, would jump savagely at one or the other of the boys; but these invariably met death or were disabled by blows from Philly’s iron. The younger hoy wanted to go back after a rat had leaped up and caught him by the sleeve with its teeth; but his brother quieted his fears and told him that the rats were only playing. By the time the boy3 reached the end of the tunnel, where the cheese was kept. the rats liad gathered by hundreds arourul the children, covering the cheese boxes and running over the boys in spite of the efforts of the cider to keep them off. Philly took off his coat and wrapped it around his little brother, to protect him from the rats, and then proceeded to uncover a cheese. The rats puled upon him and all about him, as though frantic with the prospect of getting possession of the cheese them selves. Philly beat abont him right and left, but finding it impossible to drive the rats away, so that he could get a box raised, ho’told his little brother to go hack and tell his father to come into the vault as soon as possible. The little fellon hastened out, leaving Philly alone in the dark, battling with the rats, which were gradually getting the better of him. He placed his back against one side of the tunnel, and wielded his weapon continu ally, killing or disabling a rat at almost every blow. When tho younger child carried the news to his father that Philly was in the vault surrounded by the rats, Grossman and the two neighbors armed themselves with clubs and hurried to the rescue of the boy. The army of rats seemed to number thousands, when they reached the scepe. The men joined in the contest, but so numerous and persistent were the rats that they were more than an hour in con quering them. Dead rats lay piled on every side,.and their^ number was so greatly re duced that the survivors were finally driv en to their holes. Eight hundred and nineteen dead rats were carried from-the vault. One of them weighed over eight pounds. The carcasses filled a two-horss box wagon, and were a good load for a team to draw away. The combined weight of the rats was over a ton. the buggy went to Bowline Green. Next morning a happy couple left on a South ern-bound train. They are now hi this city. To-morrow they will leave for Texas. Strengthening the Voice. Signor Alberto B. Bach has recently evised and introduced in London a sim- devise pie appliance called a resonator, for increasing the volume and power of the human voice when singing, in the course of a recent lecture, Signor Bach described the mechanism of the vocal organs, and explained the modes in which their power could best be developed, and among other points he directed attention to tho office performed by the hard portion of tho palate, this acting as a kind of. sounding board when the mouth is open for singln". It is for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of the palate in this respect that the “reasonator” has been designed. The instrument consists of a gold plate fitted to the roof or the mouth, close above the upper teeth—much in the same way as the gold palate of a set of artificial teeth—the plate having attached to it an other gold plate which is convex down wards in both directions. A hollow sounding board, as it may be called, is thus formed, which has a remarkable ef fect on the volume of sound produced by the person wearing the instrument. The resonator appears to have no prejudicial effect upon the distinctness of articulation, and Signor Bach states that it can be used without the slightest inconvenience after a moderate amount of practice. It will not give a good voice to one who does not already possess that gift, nor will it eradicate any faults in singing, but properly used, it is reported to have a re markable effect in increasing the power of the sound which a singer can produce, and this without deteriotating iis quality or increasing the effort required.

Gazette, Miss Emma Roland, of Galveston, visited au aunt in Warren county, Kentucky. It was summer, the season was, and one evening the girl sat in the yard, half reading and half regarding the enormous bumblebees buzzing about her. A footstep didn’t arouse the young lady. It was a voice that said, “Can I get a drink of water?” Two arms and the chin of a tramp leaned on the fence. He was dressed in the tramp’s garb, a wardrobe at once so describable and in describable. “I say, can I get some wa ter?” “Yes,” said the girl. “Must I go around to the gate or climb over the fence?” “Both, if you choose.” “That’s the way I like to hear^people •talk,” said the tramp, climbing over and approaching. “Now where's the water?” “I’ll bring it.” “You’d better bring the well, for I’m dryer than a barrel of bromophyle.” The girl went to the house and returned with a bucket of water. When the man had finished drinking she did not think that ho had exaggerated his thirst. In fact, she did not think that this compari son had been adequate. “What book are you reading?” “Mill on the Floss.” “Overrated. I never liked it. All depth or no depth, I don’t know which. Strained characters or no characters, don’t know which. The novelist has tried to write a story without a well-defined plot, and has failed. Goldsmith’s success as a plotless and charming writer was a bad example.” “You shouldn’t tear my favorite book to pieces. I like George Eliot and all her works.” “You don’t like ‘Mill on the Floss.’ You have been nodding over it for tbe last hour. You only pretend to read it because you imagine that in doing so you develop literary taste.” “I think, sir, you are impudent.” “But truthful. Here’s a book you should read,” and tbe tramp took from liis ragged coat a tattered copy of Burton’s “Anatomy of Melancholy.” “Dr. John son said that this book was the only work that could induce him to get out of lied mornings, sooner than his regular time of rising.” “And that’s why you like it,” remarked the girl, taking the book. “If Dr. John son hadn’t made that remark yiu would not find the work so charming.*’ “That’s all right. Give me some more water.” The conversation was pursued until the tramp accepted au invitation to supper. His idea of Burton and Johnson was soon covered up with batter cakes. The tramp, Mr. Preston, remained all night. Next morning, when he announced his inten tion of leaving, the girl accompanied him to the spot wiiere she sat when he hailed her. “Why do you tramp around; have you no home?” “Yes, as to the home. Don’t know a3 to the tramping.” “Whisky?” “Whisky.” “Why don’t you quit?” “I will.” “When?” “Now, on one condition. That you will consent to be my wife. Meet me un der this tree four years from to-day.” ‘•I will.” “Good-by,” and he climbed the fenoe and was gone. No correspondence was carried on between them. The manly, handsome face of the tramp hung before the girl like a portrait. Deep, earnest eyes, a merry laugh accompanied the tramp. Several weeks ago the young lady visited her aunt. One evening last week she sat under a tree in the yard where four years before she nodded over a book.' Bees buzzed around; the same bees seemingly. On herjap lay “Mill on the Floss;” near her a tattered copy of Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy.” A buggy drove up. A man alighted and climbed the fence. “Mr. Preston.” ‘‘Miss Roland.” There was no indication Of a tramp in the handsomely dressed gentleman. The clear, earnest eyes showed no lurid light, kindled by Satan’s breath. That eveifing New York, August 6.—A special from Americus, Ga., gives the following partic ulars of a crime committed in Webster county, twenty miles west of that place, on the evening of August 4th. It states that Woodson L. Gunnells, a well-to-do farmer, left home to visit a sick neighbor, and returning, found his wife and nine of ten small children in a horrible sleep, from the effects of morphia administered m lemonade by Mrs. Gunnells. There is no doubt she prepared the fatal beverage and administered it to the children, and drank oi it. herself with fatal intent. Mr. Gunnells was married to this, bis second wife, seven years ago, anc. bas by her four children. The other six were by a pre vious wife and, as far as known, the step mother has been a dutiful and kind pa rent to them. Mrs. Gunnells Is from a highly respect able family. A note in the handwriting of Mrs. Gunnells was found under tho moiphia bottle on the table in which she stated she had deliberately administered moiphia to the children aud herself with the intention of destroying them all, and that she was not actuated by any domes tic trouble. Owing to the lapse of time before medi cal aid arrived Mrs. Gunnells’ case was hopeless. She lay on her back on the bed in an unnatural sleep, produced by the fatal drug, and all efforts of physicians and sympathizing friends to restore her were futile. The children’s cases were not so hope less, and by unceasing efforts of the phy sicians some of them showed signs of re turning consciousness. All of the step children and some of the younger chil dren are now thought to be out of danger. Tbe youngest, an infant of a few months, was saved by the fact that its mother could not introduce enough of the fluid down its little throat to destroy life. It is probable that three of the children will die. These three are presumed to have drank more freely of the deadly beverage than the others. - The dispatch concludes that all evi dence taken negatives the idea of insani ty and points directly to a cool, deliberate determination on the part of the hitherto quiet and kind hearted lady to take away her own life and tliat of her family, and at the same time conceal from the world the cause of her act. ANew Engine fob Mb. Edison.— There is now in course of construction, says the Philadelphia Record, of July 27th, in this city, an engine upon the re- su’t of the workings of which a great deal is staked relative to the success or failure of the electric light of Professor Edison. In making his numerous experiments with the light, Mr. Edison found great difficulty in procuring an engine that would run the dynamo-electric machine sufficiently fast and steady to procure a good light. Up to this time none could be found, and the desired revolutions have been made up in a manipulation cf belting. This has proved decidedly unsatisfactory, because the belts make the light un steady, and therefore uDfit for the pur poses designed. Some time ago the Southwark company, which manufactures a high-pressure engine—the Porter-Allen— received an order from Mr. Edison to manufacture an engine that would make 600 revolutions per minute. This is to be of 100 horse power, and if it proves suc cessful, then the great trouble which has encompassed the Edison light will be overcome. Last week, before tho first engine was well under way, another or der was received for a 120-horse jfcwer engine. The highest number of revolu tions heretofore attained by any one of of the Porter-Allen engines has been 500 revolutions per minute.
