COMEDY.
They parted, with clasps of hiuid,
And ki??ea and burning tears.
They met, in a foreign land,
After some twenty years.
Mel as acquaintances meet,
Smilingly, tranquil-eyed—
Hot even the least little beat
Of the heart upon either side!
They chatted of this and that,
The nothings that make np life;
' She in a Gainsborough hat,
And he in black for his wife.
Ah, what a comedy this is I
Neither was hurt it appears;
She had forgotten his kisses,
And he had forgotten her tears*.

Bb. Henky Hull, the oldest, and one
%Tllie most prominent citizens of Athens,
died last Tuesday night. He had lived
in that town at least seventy-five years,
and was universally respected. He was
president of the Athens, Factory Com-
• pany.
The congregation of the First Method
ist church at Athens contributed over
♦7,000 last Sunday for the purpose of re
modeling the building.
The Marietta Journal tells the follow
ing:
As a train on the W. & A railroad was
approaching Marietta, Sunday, a brake-
man appeared at* the door of the coach
and sang out, “Ladies and gentlemen, I
have the pleasure of announcing that the
next town will be Marietta. If you will
look out of the cars as the train halts you
will see the entire population assembled
at the depot.”
A Gainesville letter to the Redater
says there are 150 hands at work on the
Gainesville and Jefferson railway, and
that the railroad will soon be in running
order. The same paper learns that on
Weducsday about oay light “nine disguised
men broke into the jail in Jasper, Pickens
county, and forced the jailer to unlock the
doors and liberated Ace Patterson, who
Was a few days since sentenced to impris
onment by Judge Brown for the murder
of Simmons. Some other prisoners, most
of whom are charged with felonies, made
their escape.
The Redater also casually remarks that
“speaking of coincidences, it is to he ob-
aerved lLat the period for bidding on con
tracts for the completion of the Macon
and Brunswick railroad extension runs
right up to the meeting of the Legislature.
Perhaps Mr. Wilson was in earnest when
h« gave the oublfc to understand some
time ago that the extension would not be
hullt.”
The Savannah Recorder leams that the
total receipts at the late Masonic fair in
that city, aggregate $10,700.
The Augusta Chronicle says the “gen
eral impression that the number of stock
holders of the Georgia railroad has been
very greatly reduced lately, and that the
Stock is in the hands of a few persons, is
not correct. At the last convention there
were about 1,400 stockholders on the
hooks; now there are about 1,100, a re
duction only of about 200.”
We quote from the same paper the fol
lowing history of the lease of the Geor
gia railway:
It will be remembered that when the
agreement for the rental ot the road was
made, a prime condition was that the les
sees should deposit $1,000,000 in United
States bonds as security for tbe payments
of the annual rental of $G00.000. The
lessees named were Wm. M. Wadley,
Samuel Sloan, Moses Taylor and J. H.
Fisher. Thu agre.-iiK-nt, by its tei ms, w as
to be succeeded by a regular contract,
drawn up by lawyers, and made to stand
for the ninety-nine years stated in tbo
contract. When the agreement was made
tbe Georgia railroad directors understood
that Messrs. Taylor, Sloan and Fisher
were contracting iu their individual capac
ity, and not for the South Carolina rail
road. Subsequent events showed that
Such was not the understanding of those
gentlemen, but that they were all the time
acting for the South Carolina railroad.
Some weeks since it was announced that
tbe $1,000,000 United Stales bonds had
been duly deposited m New York, but
this report proved to be incorrect. Mr.
Wadley deposited his half of tho amount
With the Planters Loan and Trust Com
pany of New York, but the other half was
n >t put up by Taylor and Sloan. Bonds
belongin'! to the South Carolina railroad,
were in tbo hands of the Planters Loan
and Trust . Company, but that company
declined to give them up, and as Taylor
and Sloan depended upon these and did not
desire to become lessees as individuals,
they telegraphed their position to Mr.
Wadley aud to President Plilnlzy, at the
same time signifying their earnest desire
to effect the lease with the Sontb Carolina
railroad, as ono of the lessees, and oiler-
log to giro their promise that it would be
made ali right as soon as the affairs ot
that road were settled, which would not
be far otf, as the road is to be sold in a
few weeks. This proposition, however,
the authorities of tbe Georgia railroad
would not entertain, as the South Carolina
railroad Is In a transition state, and it
cannot with certainty be told into wbat
hands it will fall. It was to consider
these nutters that tho lengthy conference
was held between Messrs. Wadley, Pbin-
tay, Fisher, Lawton and a committeo of
Georgia railroad directors, consisting of
Judge Reese, Judge Hiliyer aud Mr. H.
D. McDaniel. These gentlemen,
with President ~ Phinizv, were
appointed a committee to per
fect tbe lease and have the contract put
In legal form. A number of telegrams
were exchanged, between the conference
and Messrs. Taylor and Sloan, resulting
finally in the withdrawal of the South
Carolina railroad interest lor the reasons
given above. The Central railroad of
fered to tako the lease, giviug ono mil
lion dollars of its own bonds—worth In
the market nearly twelve hundred thou
sand dollars—as security for the annual
rental, but this was declined, as the Geor
gia railroad -authorities considered that
-there were legal difficulties in the way of
a lease of the Georgia to the Central.
Mr. Wadley then declared that he would
take the entire lease himself, and the fol
lowing stood security for tbe deposit of
tbe remaining half million United States
bonds within thirty days, each for fifty
thousand doliais: John Davison, Thos.
P. Branch. Augusta; J. F. Gilmer, A. II.
Lawton, Wm. M. Wadley, Savannah; C.
C. Baldwin, New York; Dr. J. S. Hamil
ton, Athens, Go.; John P. Branch, Rich
mond, Va.j Gen. £. P. Alexander, Louis
ville, Kentucky; Louisville and Nashville
railroad. As the committee of directors
had only been empowered to make the
contract with tho original leasees, it be
came necessary to call a meeting of tbe
board to give them tbe authority to coo-
tract with Mr. Wadley alone; hence the
meeting yesterday. The vote upon the
-question was unauimous, thus differing
from that of the board at the time the
lease was first decided upon, when there
was one dissentiug voice. Mr. Hill, the
director absent yesterday, then voted iu
the affirmative. The contract or lease
was formally drawn in proper legal shape,
algued in duplicate, and tbe lease to Mr.
Wadley completed. It is not known
whether be will remain tbe sole lessee.
The fact that General Alexander, Mr.
Baldwin and the Louisville and Nash
ville railroad are among those who guar
anteed the deposit of the other half mil
lion of bonds, would seem to indicate that
that road might become interested in tbe
lease.
The Tbomssyllle Enterprise says Jss.

The Rcdaler's Washington correspon
dent learns from a Georgia Radical
‘•that the administration intends to have
out a candidate for Congress iu every
Georgia district next year and to give him
a gocil hand of help. Whether this inten
tion signifies that there will bo a square
Republican candidate on each district, or
that the administration will play foster
mother to the ambitious independents who
come out. is not certain. I think the lat
ter policy will probably be adopted.”
Mb. Ben Samuels, of McDuffie coun
ty, has shown the editor of the Journal
“au interesting Indian relic which he
plowed up in his field a few weeks ago.
It is a tomahawk cut from white sand
stone, three and a half inches long and
Wide at Dio head, tapering to almost a
point instead of a blade. Around the
head is a deep groove in which the handle
was fastened, just below which tho weap
on is nearly two inches thick.”
We find the following challenge to
Woods, of the Hawktnsville Dispatch, in
the Columbus Enquirer:
It is rather early 5u the spring to begin
on snake stories, but one of our promi
nent hardware merchants repeated one
yesterday, as told by a gentleman who
lives a few miles iu the country. He
states that his wife had a hen aud chick
ens which she allowed to roost in a room
in the house which was not much used.
In the room was an old sofa, which was
so worn as to be unfit for use. The lady,
for several mornings, had missed some of
the chickens, and missed them one at a
time, uutil they were nearly all gone.
One day she had occasion to lift the cush
ion from- the old sola, and the mystery
was explained. Upon the sofa, and under
the cushion, was a snake which measured
twenty-seven inches arouud, and was
seven’feet In length.
The Warrenton Clipper says the
“leader Jack Grant, colored, and several
others of tho robber cla*' wo spoke of as

The Rome Courier prints the follow
ing : We met old Andy yesterday. The
old man has been much interested in the
reception of the members of the press as
sociation, and seemed dowu in the mouth
as lie said: “Mass John, I beam d at the
press is not gwine to git hear, but is a
gwine to stay iu Atlanty, is dat so?" We
explained that the Atlanta people would
breakfast the gentlemen, and proposed to
ride them around, that they might leave
at 11 o’clock a. in. on a soccial train. Old
Andy left us with*'a shake of his head.

Some of the fragments of tho engine were
blown the distance of half a mile. There
was but one piece of the engine left un

The Atlanta Post-Appeal states that on
Thursday night a row occurred in that

The Hawkinsville Dispatch in combat
ting the opinion expressed by Messrs.
Stephens and Toombs that Geoigia is
getting poorer every day, says:
In Dodge county last week tbe editor
of this paper ralked with the tax receiver
of tbat county. He gave us figures show
ing that tho taxable property of tbat
county bad increased m 1880 over 1879 to
the amount of over one hundred and
eighteen thousand dollars—or about twen
ty per cent. On Saturday last, tbe late
tax receiver of Pulaski county informed
us that the taxable property ot this county
had increased during tbe last four years
nearly a half million dollars—or from
$1,125,000 to about 1,600,000. In Telfair
county the increase in one year was
about one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, and in Coffee county tbe increase
was about one hundred and thirty-five
thousand dollars. Now, if the countiy Is
becoming poor.-r every day, why is there
au increase in the taxable property? Is
it because the land and pine limber of
tbo wiregrass counties are being
developed for- • turpentiuo . \ pur;
poses ? This cannot be the cate JuPulaskl
county, where the increase is nearly half
a million of doliais in four years. Yet
we find nearly everybody ready to indorse
or corroborate tho assertions of Messrs.
Stephens and Toombs. We find plenty
of our citizens who declare that tho lu-
creaso in tho taxable property of Pulaski
county is owing to the building up of
Hawkinsville and Cdchfan—that the gaiu
is altogether in these two towns—whilo
the farmers have gained nothing, but have
mortgaged their farms and are now al
most hopelessly Involved in debts con
tracted for provisions, bought to enable
them to make cotton. Wo have been to
the tax digests to get our figures. We
have taken this much upon ourself in or
der to sustain the position we took in tho
Dispatch recently in opposition toStephens
and Toombs. They may be correct in
asserting that the people are becoming
poorer every day, hut the tax books are
against them.
Tex bushels of field peas embrace the
entire stock on hand at Hawkinsville, and
they are held at $2.25 per bushel.
The Pike county News says an “impor
tant civil case, involving ten thousand
dollars, was tried last week at Jasper
court, and a judgment in favor of the
plaintiff was rendered for ten thousand
dollars. The case, as we understand it,
was the Bridges heirs against their
mother, Mrs. Bridges, of Forsyth, and Mr.
W. H. Head, tho banker, of Forsyth.
Tiie case, we bellevS, was arbitrated last
fall iu Eatonton, and about the same
verdict was rendered. It will probably
go to the Supreme Court.”
The Monroe county correspondent of
the same paper tells the following:
There was a novel marriage in tho or
dinary’s office to-day. Jake McMullen,
an old slew-footed negro, and Mary Pye,
an aged negress, were the contracting
parties. Jake is a professional wood-
chopper and Mary is a laundress. Jake
cut a load of wood and came to the court
house early in the morning, bought his
license and awaited anxiously tbo coming
ot the expectant bride. While thus wait
ing an old woman came in witli a basket
ou h$r arm, and the ordinary thinking her
to be Mrs. Pye made her put down her
basket and stand up beside old Jake,
when she said, “What does you ail mean
by dis proceed in ?—he aint axed me yit.”
Jake answered, saying, “Dat aint de
’oman.” Mary then appeared, when tlio
twain were made one. After the cere
mony was ended, Jake went out of one
door to cut a load of wood, and Mary out
of the other to her wash tubs.

WEflnlthe following in the Notes:
Shortly after midnight Policeman Kelley
encountered a colored woman at the cor
ner of St. Julian and West Broad streets,
Who was covered with blood and appear
ed to bo very much excited. She was ac
companied by a small girl named Emma
Walker. The woman, whose name is
Anna Williams, stated that she had a dif
ficulty or quarrel witii her husband. He
fell upon an open knife which she bad in
her hand, and received a wound that re
sulted in bis death asliort time afterwania.
The tragedy occurred in au outhouse on
Bryan street, between Lumber and Farm
streets, at the rear of a house occupied by
Venus Walker, colored. From the infor
mation that could be obtained, it seems
tbat William Randolph and Anna Wil
liams, who was living with him as his
wife, got into a quarrel about midnight,
the origin of which is not known, and a
scuffle ensued. On a table in the room
lay a largo pocket knife, the blade of
which was opened. In the scuffle Anna
seized this knife and was tripped to the
floor by Randolph, who fell upon her^and
a rough and tumble fight occurred on the
floor. In tho same shanty lived a negro
woman, Louisa Landrum, who was
aroused by the noise, entered the room,
and states that she then saw Randolph
sitting on Anna Williams, endeavoring to
take the knife fiom her. He was appa
rently cut in tbe breast near tho heart,
and the blood gushed over his person,
and in a few minutes he tumbled over
dead.
A negro desperado, named Lowery,
was, as we learn from the Eastraau
Times, shot aud killed at Lumber City
last Saturday. Ho was endeavoring to
highly prized by historical societies and
associations. ” A few miles further and a
short distance beyond Oboopie church
stands an old wooden structure, now un-
tenanted,in a field near tho road, a part
of the building once occupied by Gov.
James Irwin as a dwelling. This was
also built, it is supposed, over ninety
yean ago, aod was perhaps the first plas
tered house ever built In the county. It
was visited by many persons, even by
some o-'tside the limits of the county,
who wished to see so great a wonder of
art as a plastered house.
The Greensboro Herald of Friday says
“tbo dwelling house, kitchen and two
contiguous outhouses-of- Maj. Robert L.
McWhorter, at Penfield in this county,
were burned on Thursday. . Most of tho
furniture in tho dwelling was lost. There
was insurance on tho property to tho
amount of $1,800.”
The same paper states “that youDg
Langston, one of tbe guards at the con
vict camp on W. H. McWhorter’s planta
tion iu this county, was found dead
in the field on yesterday afternoon.
He wa3 shot and three of the convicts
gone. It was supposed that in somo way
they managed to get possession of the gun
of Mr. Laugstou and escaped.”
The hull aud machinery of the steamer
“Wbeless,” of Augusta, which was re
cently burned at Savannah, were sold at
Savannah last week for $2,000.

The Cedartowu Advertiser says:
Lightsino’s Terrible Work.—On
the old Wm. E. West farm, now owned
by L. Q. West aud A. Huntington, on tbe
Esom Bill road, six miles from Cedar-
town, on Sunday evening last, occurred
one of the most .ragic events, caused by
ligUtniug, ttiat basevercome to our Knowl
edge. Iti a double log house on tho above
named place, lived two families, oue end
being occupied by Mrs. Mattie
Prince aud her daughter aud child, and
the other by Henry Brazier, wife aud
child and Mrs. Brazier’s stepfather,
Thomas I’oweil. Ou Sunday evening
between 5 and 6 o’clock during the thun
der storm that prevailed, a stroke of
ligbtniug entered tbe roof, and, besides
tearing the building up in a fearful man
ner, did deadly work among the inmates.
Mrs. Brazier, who was standing at the
fire roasting coffee for the evening meal,
was struck dead instantly. Her neck iu
some maunerwas brokeu and her head
almost literally split open by a piece of
mantle, which was torn apart by the
lightning,striking her with tremendous
force. The lightning, it is said, seemed
to have entered at the shoulders and
coursed dowu her body, going out at
her feet aud horribly tearing
the flesh. Mr. Powell, wbo at the time
sat near tbe door iu tbe same room, hold
ing Mrs. Brazer's infant in his arms, was
knocked senseless ou tbe floor aud he and
the child both lay unconscious for a time.
Mr. Powell’s ann was badly burned. Mr.
Jeff Yaucy was also in the room and was
knucked^from bis seat upon the floor and
was dreadlully stunned, aud has been
partially deaf ever since. Mrs. Princo
stood iu the hallway between the two
roomsj and was instantly killed. Great
blue places were found on her body, and
her flesh was tom at her
neck and shoulders and at her feet.
A daughter of Mrs. Princo was the only
person m the house who escaped without
injury, her little child being slightly in
jured. Tho building is said to have been
badly torn up. An immense hole, more
than three feet square, appears iu the
root, besides a number of .smaller holes.
ored of the other woman, Henrietta Cato, j IVASRIXGl'OX XE IKS
and hence the bad state ot feeling be-
tween the females. Late Wednesday | Washington, May 12.—In tbe Senate,
night tbe jealous wife went to tbe cabin of ,1 . , ,
Henrietta, and fouud her faithless husband ^ r - Eellogg called up his resounion call-
there, whereupon she seized an ax and went nig upon the heads of tbe various executive
for Henrietta. The husband parted the departments for information relative to
two women, and left the house, but the c i er k s and employes in their respective
enraged wife soon returned armed wnh a , . , ,
clubhand renewed the attack upon Hen- | departments, including information as to
rietta, when tho latter stabbed her with a , (lie person or persons on whose recom-
knife and killed her. The knife was an j nicudation such clerks or employes were
appointed. Mr. Sherman opposed the
resolution. Under the existing law, there
was .a register made of all officers and
employes of the government which was
itself a very expensive document. It con
laiued all the information which was
called for by tbe presort resolution, with
the exception of the information relative
to the person or persous on whoso recom
mendations the appointments were made.
That information would only give a
handle to enable persons seeking office to
get out men who were valuable from long
publie service.
Mr. Bayard agreed with tbe Senator
from Ohio, Mr. Sherman, in opposing the
resolution, and moved that it bo referred
to the committee on printing.
Mr. Brown contended that the object
sought by the resolution was a proper
one, but thought tbat it would be better
attained by tho resolution offered yester
day by the Senator from Iowa, Mr. Me-
Dill.
Mr. Kellogg argued that the Informa
tion asked for by the resolution was not
contained inlhe blue book. If it were true
that there were scores of persons employed
in the various departments who were born
In Northern States and who had never
seeu a State south of Masou and Dixon’s
line, and who were, however, credited to
Southern States, that wrong ought to be
nghled. Let the resolution be referred
to tbe committee on printing, ami let tbo
whole question bo taken into considera
tion.
Mr. JToirill considered this matter as
one of minor importance. What was of
importance was that tbe government
should have efficient officers.
The resolution was then referred to the
committee on printing.
Mr. McDili called up tho resolution
offered by* him, yesterday, directing that
hereafter there shall he contained lu tbe
official register of the United Slates Infor
mation as to the congressional district
from which each government employe is
appointed.
Mr. Brown offered an amendment ask
ing for further intorinatiod as to whether
such employes are while or colored. Race
difficulties should not make auy differ
ence.
The resolution and amendment were
referred to the committee on printing.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution directing
the committee ou privi eges and elections
to inquiro aud report at the next session
of Congress wiiat measures are needful to
secure the ascertainment and declaration
of the result of the election of President
and Vice President. Adopted.
The Senate then, at 1 o’clock, n ent into
executive session.
THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
The Senate, immediately after going
into executive session this afternoon, re
sumed consideration of the nomination of
Stanley Matthews to be associate justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, Seuator Sherman taking tbe floor
witli a speech iu favor of confirmation.
The entire executive session oi the Sen
ate this afternoon was devo cd to further
consideration of the nomination of Stan
ley Matthews as associate justice of the
Supreme Court. The principal speakers
were Senators Edmunds, David Davis
and McMillan, in opposition to con
firmation, and Sherman, Pendleton and
Beck in favor of it. The debate was sim
ilar to that of yesterday. At its conclusion
a vote was taken on amotion to confirm
aud it was carried—yeas 22, nays 21.
There are rumors that the vote will be
reconsidered.to-morrow, but the friends of
Matthews say that all of tho twenty-two
ordinary pocket knife, and tbe blade en
tered tbe body of the deceased just under
the left arm. It is generally believed,
however, that the evidence will go to show
that the knife was use.d in self-defense.
Henrietta Cato made no eifoiLto escape,

returning to Washington tbe day iollowing
Garfield’s great coup. “When I went
away last week I thought things would
settle down to something like harmony.
The committee of safety, which, although
not sounding very well, was a good thing
iu itself, promised to smooth tho way,
but Halstead, who, liko the old witch, is
always happiest when tilings are hottest,
got at Garfield, placed the tomahawk and
scaiping-knite dn his hands, aud, in
a moment of heat and wounded
pride, lie let drive them at Conk-
llng, aud hit everybody else. Me-
pliUtoplicle? never did a neater trick than
this of Halstead If it ha I been Conk-

made to much difference, but all the Re
publicans iu the Senate were hit. i wish
Haislead had kept at home, or got

and a jolly fellow, but he is as full of the
devil as an egg is full of meat. Having
played tbe mischief, lie has goue home to
hatch more. I see Ills paper is egging
Garfield on to send awuy some of his cab
inet. Tbat would not be so bad if be
knew how to select better men, of whom
there are plenty. Garfield could not do
it. The chances are he would go to
John Sbormau, and then the devil would
be to pay again, for John is rather fuller
of vengeance than Blaine.

helping her to survive and escape tbe

Winslow’s Sootliiug Syrup relieves' tbe
clnid from paiu and cures dysentery and
diarrhoea. It softens tho gums, reduces
inflammation, cures wind colic, and car
ries the infant through the tqetldug pe
riod. It performs precisely what it pro
fesses to perform, every part of it—noth

bad been made In the effort of the mem
bers of the caucus to harmonizing the
party differences in regard to tbe contest
ed nominaiions. No definite plan ap
pears to have been agreed upon, but sev
eral Senators say they were encouraged
by the conference this morning to hope
that a satisfactory adjustment may yet be
made.
During the conference attention was
called to a fact which has quite generaliy
been lost sight of—that (iie action taken
by the caucus last week in regard to the
contested cases extended no further than
to provide that they should net be brought
before the Senate until after clearing the
docket of uucoutcsted business; and
various Senators to-day announced that
from and after the time when this clear
ance shall be effected (which is apparent
ly very near at hand) they will not enter
into any agreement or understanding in
regard to tho contested nominations, hut
will hold themselves free, and move for
prompt action upon all such
cases, in accordance with their
individual judgments and restricted
only by the rules of tbe Senate. In view
of these announcements it is considered
improbable that auy attempt will be
made to obtain caucus action on the sub
ject, and unless tho controversy in regard
to the Robertson nomination be averted
bj some other means, it will dcubtless be
brought before tho Senate soon after the
intervening business shall have been dis
posed of. The caucus to-day adjourned,
subject to a call of the chairman.

He never employed a secretary, and hunted

away the good fortune for which I have
been waiting so long.” He began work at
six every morning in a little room, the
