Tub Americas Republican learns from
“Deputy Sheriff Cobb, that both Hart and
Register, the men who had the terrible
combat with knvies last Saturday night,
are recovering from the wounds received.
Hart had Ills stomach cut open from side
to side, and Register had a portion ot his
liver hacked off, and yet we are told he is
improving.”
Mil James Butler, of Blakely,
caught a ten pound trout in a small pond
near that placo last Saturday night.

Milltown, Lowndes county, with its con
tents was burned last Tuesday night. In

of JoimT. Collins, a prominent Radical
of Brunswick, was badly damaged by fire
one night last week.
Tiie Albany Ecus and Advertiser says
for several Saturdays past it has counted
the empty wagons that were driven “into
ti» city from the country after ‘supplies,’
and the number reported from actual
count lots ranged between 141 and 183.
Iu order to reduce what these wagons are
hauling out weekly to ligures, we yester
day procured from the warehouses and
those of our merebauts who furnish sup
plies to farmers tiieirrespectivestaiemeuis
of the amount of corn and bacon that
fhev sold for this single day. Hero are
the ligures in tho aggregate; Com and
meal (bushels), 1,81a; bacon (pounds)
14,569. The price paid for the com and
meat (or rather the price that will be
paid tor it next fall, provided enough cot
ton is wane) was from $1.15 to $1.25 per
bushel; for the bacon, from 12 to 13 ceuts
par pound. These figures represent one
day’s sales only, and to this might bo
added several car loads of Western hay, to
say nothing of the quantity of oats which
might be also included. Further com
merit is unnecessary.”

Wind, rain and hail storm prevailed iu

Diabolical Attempt to Wreck a
Train.—The Washington Gazette says:
“On last Sunday week, as the train on the
branch road from this place to Barnett
rounded a curve in a deep cat, just be
yond a creek, the engineer saw obstruc
tions on the track just a few yards in
front of lltc engine. He tried to reverse
bis engine, but before lie could pull the
lever the engine had struck the obstruc
tion, jumped the track, and was hounding
across the tics into the ditch. Running
about twenty steps down ,he ditch, It -mu
Into the bank of the cut and turned ever
at an angle of about forty-five degrees,
«ae side of the wheels being buried up to
the axle in the ditch, and the other side
t’rmed up in Uie air. The sudden stop
threw a pile of wood from the tender Into
die engine, and ft is a wonder how the
engineer and fireman escaped uninjured.
Tto cab of Urn engine was badly broken
against the side cl the cut, and tho cow-
courier was torn to pieces aud
bent under the engine. The
jntssenger coach WsS knocked from the
track but did not turn over. The track
was torn up considerably, some of the
tails being bent into this shape jq > Upon
going back to where the engine jumped
the track, a white flint rock about the size
ot a half bushel measure, and weighing
over a hundred pounds was found imbed

abcuL six inches wide aud three thick,

ing sensational “noration”: “Our readers
have seen numerous accounts of the cxet
cution of tho notorious Henty HIU a-
Hartwell on the 23d ult., and are doubt
less familiar with every detail of that
tragic event up to tho time the body was
cular fact connected with the subse
quent events of the day is now made
known for tho first time that leaves
room for grave doubts as to wheth
er the poor wretch was dead
at the time the body was ‘taken down
from the gallows: The statements come
to us from one of Hart county’s most
prominent and responsible citizens, and
are therefore devoid of any attempt to cre
ate a sensation. We will have to recall
to the readers some of the incidents of the
execution to make the matter plain. It
will be remembered that at 1 p. m. Slier-
iff Myers sprung the strap, at 1:13 he was
pronounced dead, and at 1:27 the body was
taken down by order of thosberifl. So that
H. Hill was suspended from the gallows
fourteen minutes after he was declared
dead, and twenty-seven minutes altogeth
er, when the body was taken down and
turned over to colored friends, who placed
it in the collin in wailing, aud after being
closed the collin wa3 placed iu a wagon,
and the wagon driven to the proposed
place of iuterment, one mile from Hart
well. All this could have consumed not
more'tban a half hour’s lime, making it
not later than 2 o’clock when the burial
placo was reached. The collin was opened
when it readied this spot, aud when
opened it was discovered that the body
was iu a profuse perspiration; not a mois
ture or simple sweat, but great drops
of .perspiration oozed from the pores
of the skin and trickled down tho face.
This action of the skin contirucd from the
tune the body reached the burial place
till between sundown and dark, when the
last white man of whom we nave any ac
count looked at the body. We have con
sulted every physician we have had access
to, and overy one, without exception, de
clares that, If-tlie circumstances be exact
ly as stated, that the negro was not dead.
From the fact that when the las’,
white man at tho graze—nearly dark—
and the negroes were still at work on the
S ave, may it not be that the friends of
enry were delaying the interment, so as
wait darkness for concealing the body and
attempting resuscitation. One of the
two results seem absolutely certain: If
Henry Hill was buried the evening
of the execution he was buried
alive; or, if he was not buried that eve
ning, there was a possibility of bis being
buried alive yet. In this statement we
have carefully avoided any exaggeration,
and given only such facts as we have ob-
taiued from sources entirely trustworthy
and which can be substantiated

Georgia in the Railroad Circle.—
We find the following, under tho above
head, in tho Marlon county Argus:
“However mnch people may condemn
Mr. Wadley’s railroad management,
there is uo disputing the fact that after
the war be saw much farther iuto the
railroad future than any man iu the
South, and but for the extensive leases ol
other roads, extending towards the Mis
sissippi river, made by him, the Souteern
railroads would have been at the mercy
of Tom Scott and others at the North.
Had Mr. Wadley continued Ids leases
and formed a junction witli the Texas
Pacific and the Now Orleans and Mobile
railroads, bis grasp would have been un
shaken to the westward and strength
ened to the northward. Recent railroad
speculations have developed tho fact that
the efforts which make Mr. Wadley
appear avaricious, are really exertious for
seit-preservation, aud Southern railroad
protection. If his couise has been ob
jectionable to many, it has been tbe sal
vation of Southern and Eastern bound
railroads, and Georgia ports. Could he
make the combination with the Texas and
Pacific even now, it would make the Geor
gia lines secure. To Ins far reaching
mind, Georgia is indebted for her present
railroad excitement,railroad prosperilyaud
development, while he has done as much
to attract the attention of capitalists to
Georgia’s resources in agriculture, min
ing, manufacturing and general advance
ment, as any man in the State. We do
not own a dollar of stock in the road nor
do we eveu know Mr. Wadley personally,

Henry Grady' telegraphs from New
York to the Atlanta Redaler of Tuesday
night really, but falsely dated Wednesday
morning, the following: “Colonel Cole
has, through a syndicate, purchased tho
East Tennessee and Virginia system, em
bracing the Memphis and Charleston and
Selma, Rome and Dalton roads and the
Macon and Brunswick. Tho details of
this trade have just been closed, although
the contract was closed on Saturday at
5 o’clock. Mr. George I. Seney, the phi
lautliropist so well known in Georgia, is
one of the leaders of the syndicate.” Col
onel Cole says to-night: “You may
promise yonr people the road between
Atlanta and Macon will be running by the
first of January. I will have a road from
Atlanta to Rome direct running by tbe
first of March. I could have the road
from Rome to Macon through Atlanta
miming by January, except that there is
a little heavy work between Rome and
Atlanta and will show your people, how
ever, tho fa-test railroad building all tbe
1 way from Rome to Macon that tiicy have
seen in some time.” Colouel Cole leaves
New York for Atlanta to-morrow night,
and upon bis arrival will at once put tbe
entire line under contract and will have a
number ot forces of bauds at work as
soon as ihe bids can be received. He
says be must have the trams running In
Jauuary next aud will do so. This will
virtually give Atlanta two new lines, one
to Macon aud oue to Rome. Au immense
depot for the Hues, aud shops for the hands
will be built as soon as Colonel Cole can
reach Atlanta and determine on the site.
Colonel Colo Is now in actual possession
of the eutire system of roads embraced In
ibe purchase, the trausler having been
made ou Saturday evening. A contract
was closed to-day for eleven thousand
tons of steel tails, to be delivered at
Brunswick, commencing November 1st
It is understood that Mr. Wilson, who re
tains an interest in tho syndicate, but
uoue in the management of the road, will
go to Europe fur his health. Colonel
McGhee will, prjbably, remain
with the system. The syndicate now
backing Colonel Colo is composed largely
of the same ineu who subscribed thirty
million dollars to build the new line from
New Yoik to Chicago. They have been
in consultation all day, closing the vari
ous construction contracts, and fiuishing
the details of the new Georgia railroad
scheme. Colouel Cole leaves for Atlanta
on Wednesday night, when tbe work will
be started. 'Colonel Maddox and ex-
Mayor Calhoun are due here this morn
ing from Atlanta, when the actual transfer
will be made of tbe deeds and charter of
the Georgia Western railroad to General

Ho will have tbe slock of his road on the

Ocean Steamship Company’s stock, about

This will be CO per cent, stock dividend.
A difficulty is said to be found in the terms
in the lease of the Southwestern railroad
which provides that whenever tho Central
road divides the slock, tbe accumulation
or assets to its own stockholders, it shall
divide tho same to the Southwestern
stockholders in the proportion of 8 to 10.
This makes about $12,000,000 instead of
$7,000,000 to divide the Ocean S eatnshlp
slock between. If tins difficulty can be
evaded, the slock dividend- is .said to be
sure.

“MEXICAN JOHN" SHOT.
A macular Caae In Which the Hbaeter
Escapes.
Tuesday night about half-past ten o’clock
several pistol shots Were heard on Cotton
Avenue, and on investigation it was found
that “Mexican John,” a well known civil
character, of mixed blood, and following
principally the dnties of house cleaner, had
been attacked and shot by a white youth
named Jimmie Elliot. Nothing definite
has been learned npto this writing, on
ly that Elliot has not yet been captured.
“Mexican John" was shot in tbe head
above tho forehead, but the wound is not
considered necessarily dangerous. John
says he was walking up the avenue, taking
a party home wad was under the influence
of liquor, and when on the avenue near tho
Afnoan Methodist church Elliot came up
and bade him let go the man he was carry
ing home. John replied, in effect, that ho
was twenty-one years old and could do os
he pleased, whereupon Elliot drew a pistol
then effected his escape in the darkness. A
number of persons were passing by at tho
time, ana wont to the assistance of John.

Messesoeb obtained and published the then
barely outlined plans for a now line from
Brunswick to the A r est. Tho information
camo from a source that rendered it a
picco of important news to tho State at
large. The following is an extract:
A brief glance at the railroad maps will
show the lino from Atlanta to tho West.
All that will bo needed is a road from
Atlanta to Rome, nnd from Caryville, Ten
nessee, to Livingston, to put Brunswick iu
direct communication with Cincinnati, over
a now line. • _
A bill to charter the Atlanta nnd Rome
railroad is now before the Legislature, and
tho road from Caryville to Livingston, 20
miles long, is in charge, of engineers, nnd
tho monoy to build it has been rnised.
From Livingston the company has cRoice
of routes through Cincinnati and Louisville
to tho West. The proposed route from
Brunswick is to Macon, Atlanta, Romo,
along R. T. Wilson &, Co. a road to Knox
ville, Caryville, Livingston, Lexington, La-
Grange and Louisville or Cincinnati.
This is but an outline of the route to the
West, which os a business necessity tho
company is obliged to complete.
Following this came a second statement
giving the general lino and distances. For
tho last four or five months tha owners of
tho road have been pushing their plans to
completion, and on Monday, in Now York,
they were oomploted.
The lino is exactly as foretold. Bruns
wick is the terminus; rtfnning northwest
tho road roaches Maoon, passes to Atlanta
101 miles distant and on to Rome. At this
point it unites with tho Selma, Rome and
Dalton road; from thence northeast to Bris
tol. A glance at the map will show the oon
ncctions and their importance. The East
Tennessee and Virginia road is on the point
of building a lino twelve miles in length
from tho road where it crosses the Tennes
see line, into Chattanooga. Tho extension
northward from Caryville into -Livingston
and'Paris are already in process of con
struction. It will be seen that the new line
therefore givos two roads from Atlanta to
Chattanooga, two from Macon to Atlanta
and three routes into the West. There are
a ready two routes into Savannah from Ma
oon.
The only change in the plans of the new
line as set forth in these columns, is that
R. T. Wilson <fc Co., have surrendered their
property to a syndicate of capitalists in
New York, who propose to complete the
plans. The purchase of R. T. Wilson A
Co’s., interest, secures to the syndicate a
lino from Meridian, Mississippi, to Bristol,
frojn Brunswick to Maoon, the Momphis
and Charleston road. In other words a vast
system of detached lines, needing only the
filling up of sundry gaps to put tbe compa
ny in communication with all the Atlantio
ports.
In regard to tbe extension of the Bruns
wick, yesterday a reporter called upon
the officers of the Macon and .Brunswick
railroad for information. They
stated that they knew nothing of the sale
otherwise than that it had been effected,
and that a telegram had been received or
dering advertisements inserted in the va
rious newspapers calling for bids upon the
remaining 80)4 miles of the extension. This
advertisement appears in to-day’s issue.
Tho work now before tbe syndicate is the
building of a line from Macon to Rome; a
lino of twelve miles across “the triangle”
into Chattanooga, and a line from Wolf
creek to Ashvilie. This work is to be push-

A SENSATION.
Failure of tbe “Tola Bock and Bye”
Firm
We heard it whispered throughout
Macoh recently that the celebrated “Tolu
Rock and Rye” firm was in financial
embarrassments, and yesterday on making
inquiries of a party acquainted with tho
affairs of the concern, wo loarned that the
firm had really failed. Chicago exchanges
nndor date of May the 14th give us the fol
lowing farther particulars:
Messrs. Lawrence & Martin, wholesale
liquor mercliants, known throughout the
country in connection with “Tolu Rock
and Rye,” failed to-day. their store and
stock being seized by the sheriff, under
judgmontin favorof A. S. Trude, of Chi
cago, for $32,000; Charlos S. Bush, a horse
man of New Orleans, for $20,000, and Mike
Blessing, of Memphis, for $25,000. All
these judgments are for monoy loaned.
The total liabilities are estimated ot from
$200,000 to $300,000, whilo tho assets are
placed at from $125,000 to $150,000.
The reasons of tho failure were the less
of $40,000 in tho Chicago Jockey Club
Park, $25,000 to $30,000 fit nttempt to es-
tablish a branch house in New York* and
$100,000 spent in advertising “Tolu Rock
and Ryo.” The firm owes Chicago banks
about $05,000, secured by stock. The prin
cipal creditors of the firm, beside those
mentioned, are in New York, Canada and
Lonisvil'e. Tho parties from whom
they bought goods are unsecured. It is
probable that a trustee will be appointed to
carry on tho business so sb to reap the ben
efit of the advertising of the “Tola Rook
and Rye,” which lias just begun to be re
munerative.

Optaleas tram Various Hocttoaa of
tbe Union
Augusta, May 17.—The Chronicle
says of Conkling’s resignation: “He lias
been an aggressive and malignant enemy
of the South, which should rejoice at the
triumphs ol President Garfield and the
defeat of Coukliug. Southern Senators
should sustain tbe President In the full.
exercise of bis constitutional rights. He ■
has pledged himself to a patriotic admin
istration, and should sustain him ill his ef
forts to restore peace and brotherhood to
all sections of the Union.”
Richmond, Va., May 17—The Dis
patch says: “Cockling deserts his poet
in the first watch and leaves his faithful
soldiers to their fate. Only one does he
take with him in his guilty flight—his
man Friday, the pretended junior Sena
tor from New York, but really a subservi
ent tool of tbe lordly Roscoe—a beauti
ful pair of traitors they are. Conkling’s
resignation is the mad freak of a spoiled
demagogue, who would ruin his country
to spite hi9 enemies.”
New York, May 17—The Sun says:
“The resignation of the two New York
Senators is a highly sensational proceed
ing. The only argument that can be pre
sented to justify such a manifestation is
that under the circumstances it becomes
proper for them to return their trusts to
the Legislature, in order that their gxtlicy
may be accepted or condemned by that
body. It is a novel as well as a very
far-reaching coinplicaticon which Conk-
liug has now added to the previous diffi
culties of the Republican situation, and
all intelligent citizens will wait with un
affected interest to see how it comes out.”
The Staats Zeilung docs not consider
their probable re-election by tbe Legisla
ture as a vindication for Conkling. In
order to have his course vindicated it
would be necessary for Conkling to post- j
potto his resignation until after the Legis
lature lias adjourned sine die, and then go
before the people at the next election of
members of the Assembly.
The Journal of Commerce says: “We
regret that a large and respectable portion
of tho Republican party refuse to support
a President of their choice, and are not
only attacking him in the journals that
contributed to his election, but are seek
ing in every possible way to coerce him
iuto managing public affair.) for tbe bene
fit of a clique of politicians. We trust
that honest and patriotic men who are
not tho slaves of party, will refuse to
lend themseives to such a disgraceful as
sault ou the chief magistrate of the na
tion. Tlioso who are opposing him are
not acting in behalf ot tho country but
for the interests of a section of his late ad
herents that rebel against his authority,
because they cannot control him as they
desire.”
The Herald says: “Affairs in Washing
ton have taken a sudden aud dramatic
turn. Lord Bcacocsfield was accustomed
to say that nothing happened but unex
pected. Nothing could lie more unex-
jiected than the resignation of Mr. Conk
ling aud Mr. Platt from the Senate. Such
a step could ouly be taken uuder a strong
sense of duty, aud can only be so consid
ered. It does not belong to Ihe mere cun
ning aud waywardness of politics. Men
like Conkling and Platt would not take
the supreme step of retiriug from the Sen
ate unless it was intended to give tlie act
the gravest possible meauipg. Tho truth
is that, from tho beginning, Mr. Garfleld
has committed hitnself irrevocably to
Blaine, aud in bis dealings with Conk
ling and BJatt and their followers
has followed a policy of duplicity.
This is a severe judgment to pass upon
one holding the august position of Presi
dent ot the United States, and we write
it with pain; but ft is the
truth, and the best friends of Garfield are
those who tell him the truth. Mr. Conk
ling resigns from the Senate in the inter
est of peace. Iu the Interest of peace, let
Blaine retire from tbe State department.
He is not suited for tbe office. He has
neither tho tiainiDg nor experience to
manage our foreign affairs. The other
members of the cabinet are men without
special value or force, aua If they want
places they should be quartered in some
easy department. Let the President call
to his foreign affairs a statesman like
Hamilton Fish aud to other great offices
men like Edmunds, Sherman, Boulwell,
Hoar, Frelinghuysen and Washburn—
men of patriotism and chancier, who
would serve him not for ambition and re
venge, but f>r the best interests of the party
of the nation.”
Tho Tribune captions its editorial “A
Theatrical Exile,” and says: “Of course
no one takes his resignation. Neither
Conkling nor Platt has any idea of leav
ing the Senate. There Is a character iu a
French comedy who Is forever, quarreling
with his mistress aud quilting her house
in a rage, but ho always leaves his um
brella behind him as a pretext lor return
ing aud a means of returuiug. It is safe
to say that neither of our Senators have
given up tlte lease of his lodgings. The
farce at Washington will be completed by
a farce at Albany and thoy will have
whatever glory they can get out of the
theatrical performance.”
The Milwaukee and Chicago Preaa
also Blow,
Milwaukee, May 17.—The Republi
can says: “We suppose Conkling has rea
son to feel certain of bis re-election, or
lie would not nave resigned. We are
confident that if he couuts upon return
ing to the Senate with greatly increasing
prestige by reason of his re-election at the
hands of the Legislature that was elected
last year, he will find that he has greatly
mistaken the temper of the people.”
The Milwaukee Sentinel says: “The
really hopeful feature of this aflitlr is that
Conkling, in his manifesto, comes out as
a champion of the civil service reform.
Everything that he says on the subject of
Merrilt’s removal, viewed from a stand
point or public interests, Is true. The
Sentinel has more than once poiuted out
that there was uo defense whatever for
this summary discharge of faithful offi
cials. There are a good many queer
tilings in politics, but it is bard to recall a
queerer development thau James A. Gar
field’s removing a faithful public servant
to make room for a personal favorite, and
Roscoe Coukling’s appealing to the coun
try against a change on civil service re
erm grounds.
The Inter-Occan(Rep.) says: “There are
two men iu the country at least to whom
self-respect is more than office—two men
who will not sit silently and see their
State antagonized and enemies of their
party rewarded aud continue to retain
their seats iu a body which accepts and
swallows an enforced indignity. Nothing
remains for the Senate to do but to sepa
rate. Whatever else may have happened
or have been left undone, a victory has
been gained, for Conkling Is out of the
way aud will not plague the administra
tion. So let caps go up I The Democratic
party tally oue In their contest. Senator
Conkling and bis colleague have exercised
an undoubted privilege aud taken a manly
course and have done that which lew pub
lic men would dare to do in the lace of an
augry and powerful executive."

San Francisco, May 17—Of Conk
ling’s resignation the Bulletin says: “He
wauted to control appointments, and fail
ing, retires. He antagonized the admin
istration aud a break was inevitable. Tbe
full strength of Ills case is that Robertson
was offensive to him on personal grounds.
The better sentlmeut of the Republican
party U in favor of giving the President
a chance. Conkling appears to have
sought no other end thau to strengthen
his own political position, and that of his
partyl While his great ability is ackuowl-
eeed, his retirement can hardly be cons.d-
cu a calamity.”
Tbe Post says: “His resignation will
be received with surprise'and regret.
Conkling made tbe nomination of Rob
ertson a personal matter and said be
would be defeated. Should the Legisla
ture re-elect him it would be an indorse

The Woman’s Medical College has, in
the thirty years of its existence, graduated
286 women as physicians, of whom 244
survive. A circular of inquiry sent to
them from tbe college has elicited 184
replies. Of the respondents 151 are in
active practice. Tbe remainder discon
tinued professional life for various rea
sons, those cited being chiefly of a domes
tic or busluess character, 111 health or old
age.
Those entering gynaecological practice
numbered 32; obstetrical, 9; medical, 9;
surgical, 3; general practice, 34; gyneco
logical and obstetrical, 19; gynecological
and surgical, 6; gynecological and medi
cal, 20; obstetrical and medical, 6; surgi
cal and medical, 7. Total, 151.
Cordial social recognition is reported by
144, only 7 reporting negatively. Impor
tant and responsible positions, such as res
ident or visiting physicians m hospitals,'
asylums, and girls’ colleges, are held by
59 of the number.
Tbe question of the monetary value of
their yearly practice is answered by sev
enty-two ladies. Twenty-four earned
from $1,000 to $2,000, twenty from $2,000
to $3,000, ten front $3,000 to $4,000, five
from $4,000 to $5,000, and three from
$5,000 to $15,000. Four report incomes
varying from $15,000 to $20,000, aud ten
repot t less than $2,000. The average In
come of the seventy-six is reckoned at $2,-
707.30. Several who make no estimate
reply that they are too busy to
prepare any accurate statement. Others
sav simply*that they support themsMvea
tnd a certain number of relatives or de
pendents. Three have accumulated suffi-
cient money in the profession to enable
them to retire. Sixty-six are members of
medical societies - covering seventeen
States. One Is a member of six societies
(five of them in New York city), one in
four and ono in three.
Iu answer to the question: “What influ
ence has tbe study and practice o| medi
cine had upon your domestic relations as
wife and mother?” fifty married women
responded as follows: “Influence favora
ble, 43; not wholly favorable, 6; unfavor
able, 1.” Tue replies ol unmarried wo-
tnen were not in sufficient number to bo
of statistical importance. Out of four of
them, three staled that the study and
practice of medicine had prevented their
marriage. .
