THE GEORGIA, J*It ESS.
Tub Home Courier reports a nearly
fatal case of sunstroko near that place
last Monday. A Mr. Oats was prostrated
for nearly an hour.
We make the following extract from
an Atlanta letter to the Chicago Tribune,
which we find In the Atlanta Post-Ap-
peal:
Practical thinkers of this section have
been amused for some time past over the
frantic efforts of a few speculators to cre
ate a railroad boo-n in Georgia for their
Indivldurl benefit. The daily papers an
nounced in almost every Issue that two or
more railroads liad been let out, new or
ganizations effected, and other gigantic
schemes were under headway by which
Georgia was to be cut up into railroads
and railroad reservation#. The leading
daily in Atlanta seems to be in the inter
est of these parties, and in one Issue an
nounced that the sura total of railroads
built during the four days previous, on
paper, were six out of Atlanta, each of
these lines going in various directions.
While the general public was humbugged
Into the belief tliat there was some truth
in these statein'nts, the quiet and con
servative thinkers can with little trouble
see that all the fuss that has been made
has been engineered and kept alive by
railroad speculators and persons in their
employ—engaged, as it were, to do the
necessary blowing so that the boom could
be kept alive until the desired objects had
been accomplished. These booms, how
ever, have been fanned until it requires
extra exertions to keep the blaze of ex
citement alive. Kailroad kings and rail
road Napoleons have been made without
number, and the people laboring under
this excitement thought that any man who
would promise to build a railroad should
be banqueted and entertained in the
most hospitable manner. Only ten
days ago Colonel E. W. Cole was
banqueted and entertained most royally
because he told a newspaper man that
he intended building a half-dozen rail
roads in and out of Atlanta during the
summer. Cole was unanimously crowned
king and bathed in champagne until he
cried aloud for time. While this was go
ing on parties interested were unloading
Memphis and Charleston stock, heretofore
perfectly worthless, but now having
bounded almost out of reason in price. The
fuss and excitement over the new line
caused the stock of railroads that were
heretofore considered worthless to rise up
to the highest notch, and then the desired
end had been reached. The parties hold
ing stock of these roads, which can be
properly described as “two streaks of lust
and a right-of-way,” were made rich by
unloading on an excited market blocks of
stock that cost them hardly anything at all.
Now that this has been accomplished,
Cole has taken a seat and Gen. John B.
Gordon has come to the front as a railroad
magnate of national prominence and abil
ity.
The same paper has the following:
“Me and Old Teccmp.”—Meeting
one of the youngest members of one of
our canal companies, this morning, a re
porter of the Post-Appeal said: “What
Is the latest canal news?” “Well, not
much,” was the answer, “we’ve got our
map.” “What sort of a map?” “Regular
•warmap—wouldn’t have any other 3ort.”
“Will they hold water?” “Betclier life
they will—why there are great beads of
moisture standing on the maps all along
the line marked out for the canal.” "That
looks like business,” said the reporter.
“It is business , me and old Tecump
are going to bnildthat canal.” “You and
who?” said the astonished reporter. “Me
and old Tecump , you sec Gen. Sher
man sent us the maps, and I’ve about
concluded to bring old Tecump into onr
canal enterprise- you can just set it down
that me and old Tecump will bnild the
canal if anybody does.”
The Boluxg Mill—The case of
Grant Wilkins, receiver of the rolling
mill, against several or the operatives was
heard before Judge Hillyer yesterday.
The defendants were enjoined from in
terfering with the employment of labor
ers for the mill. Tho rolling mill is at
present uuable to go on in consequence
of the strike of the hands. Much dissat
isfaction exists among the operatives, and
there is little prospect of an adjustment
that will enable the mill to continue tun
ning for apy length of time.
The Covington Star says Mr. R. Mil
ler, of Morgan county, made seven thou
sands bushels of wheat this year, and Mr.
W. L. Peet, of Rockdale niue hundred to
one thousand bushels. Wo suppose the
Star means seven hundred, instead of
seven thousand bushels in Mr. Miller's
case.
The same pz per says “the cots of build
ing and equipping the Lawrencevllle rail
road, including $3,000 discount on $30,000
bonds, 32 tons of surplus rails and 00 kegs
of spikes, was $9,027.00 per mile. The road
is nine and one-half miles long and the
people of Lawrencevllle have the benefit
cf through rates of freight.”
The Augusta Chronicle speaks of Gen.
James B. Longstreet. Did be capture

The Sparta IthmatlUe lias been figur
ing on the amount of Western 'coni, ba
con and hay that the “agricultural” coun
ty of Hancock has bought within the last
six months, and finds that, at the three
depots of Sparta, Mayfield and Carr’s
alone, “the cotton crop of the coun
ty has already been drawn on, to
pay for corn, about fifty thousand dollars;
to pay for bacon, about forty-six thousand
dollars. To this, the tingle depot of Spar
ta adds about twenly-fbur hundred dol
lars for hay. Here we have, in round
numbers, ninety-eight thousand dollars
worth of corn, bacon and bay hauled away
from three depots, In .the- “agricultural”
county of Hancock, In less than six
months. To pay for these supplies, if
cotton should bring only eight cents—as
Is highly probable, there will be required
one million, two hundred and twenty-five
thousand pounds of lint cotton. If cot
ton shouldn’t show itself to be exceeding
ly ‘ready’ as a ‘money crop/ there Is go

Prosperity, in the face of sneb methods, is

A CowniDE Badly Needed.—The
Columbus Enquirer says:
Yesterday morning Tom Russel),. a
little white boy about eight years of age,
came to •Officer Tice with a complaint
against some negro boys, for which, If
true, they should be severely puulshed
He says these negro boys asked him to «
to the brickyard with them, which he did,
much to his regret afterwards. Arriving
” at the pouds, they threw him down, and
putting a hat to his mouth to prevent any
cry being heard, they took off-bis shirt.
Tills one of the party pal under bis (the
negro's) coat, and ordered the little fellow,
under penalty of being whipped, to leave
for borne. They had treated him so
roughly, having almost smothered him,
that ho was glad of the chance ol escape
and ran quickly home.

We find the following In the Americus
Republican:
Adjudged a Lunatic.—Rev. Robert
Jonas, a colored preacher, was adjudged
a lunatic by Rev. T.H. atewart, ordinary
of Sumter, on Monday last and ordered to
thef lunatic asylum at Milledgeville. He
is now confined In the jail for safe keeping
as Drs. S. B. Hawkins and B. J. Head,
who examined him, considered it unsa.e
for him to be at large.
Fuse in the Country.—On Sunday
last Mr. J. M. Glover, living three miles
lrora Andersonville, and his wife were
attending Sabbath-school, and while ab
sent from home a fire brofco out in their
kitchen, destroying it with its entire con
tents—provisions and cooking utensils.
The loss, while not large, is quite embar
rassing to Mr. Glover, who Is a poor man,
and just at this season he will find it quite
troublesome. - '
Death of Judge E.D. Watson.—Wo
regret to record the death of Judge E. D.
Watson, which took place at his residence
In Smithville, Lee county, on Monday
last. The Judge has been in feeblo health
for a long timV, and he lias at last gone
oat In a ripe old age full of honors. lie
was a prominent man in Lee, havingbeen
Ordinary for several terms. He’ was a
devout member of the Baptist Church, a
good Mason and a veiy upright man. In
losing JudgeWatson, Leo county has been
robbed of one of her purest and best men
and her citizens of one of tlicir best friends.
Served Him Right.—On Monday last
a young lady was walking up Forsyth
street, and attracted the attention of three
or four young men. One of them said
something and was warned by auother to
be guarded in his remarks. The third
one, who was from the couutry, then made
some very ungcutlemanly remarks about
her, and before they were ended lie was
living through the air as it shot from a
catapult. lie landed on the ground sev
eral feet off, and arising slunk away like
a whipped cur. 1
ELECTRIC MESSAGES.
On Sunday afternoon a black cloud
hung over the city, and onr people’s hearts
were happy, for they thought the long
needed rain would come. Suddenly a
heavy thunder clap shook the earth and
fiery bolts darted down, striking the tele
graph poles on Jefferson street, and rnu-
uiug up the wires to Jackson street, some
of it passed down the pole at the corner
near the Republican office and severely
shocked Mr. C. A. Snow, who was reading
a paper and smoking a pipe near by. The
pipe and paper were both sent flying
away. Mr. Snow was completely dazed
for a few seconds and as soon as he re
covered breath, sent forth a howl of dis
may that would have made a Comanche
jealous. He said that t* was under the
impression that some one h.d shot him.
Some oftheeleotricity followed tho wire
and Nlescended the lightning conductor
near the telegraph office. Several persons
near the telegraph office felt the shock,
but none as,severely as did Mr. Snow,
who came near melting under the influ
ence of the fiery fluid.
Tiie Rome Courier learns from a gen
tleman just returned from Atlanta, that
it “is now thought that the assets of the
Citizens’ Bank will not pay one cent on
the dollar of the indebtedness, not even
on the State’s large claim.”
The same paper says:
It will be remembered that about eigh-
teen months ago Mr. Lindsay Wade had
one of his thighs fractured by being
thrown from a horse, and that he recov
ered from this and was apparently a3
sound as ever. But on Tuesday, while
attempting to pull ofi one of his boots in
the customary many, *. c. by using the
other leg as a bootjack, be was so unfor-
fortuuate as to fracture his thigh again,
quite as seriously as tho first time. We
hope he may soon be up ana about again.
President Phisizy, of the Georgia
railway, writes as follows to the Atlanta
Redater, under date of tho 21st inst.:
In a recent issue of your paper you
staled that General Alexander opposed
the lease of the Georgia railroad. As this
statement might induce the stockholders
to believe tliat the lease was questiona
ble policy, or else that General Alexan
der was not a fair representative of their
interests, I desire to say that he not only
heartily and cordially approved, but con
tributed largely by his influence to the
accomplishment of the lease. He did
oppose a lease upon certain conditions,
(not necessary to be given here) as origi
nally proposed, but when the present
terms were suggested, lie approved them,
aud arranged a meeting in Atlanta be
tween Mr. Wadley, him and myself,
where the present lease was agreed upon,
subject to the ratification of the board.

Company.
Under the head of “A Horrible Out
rage,” the same paper says: “One of the
most outrageous cases we have ever
heard since tne war, was reported to us
yesterday. It seems that ono H. A.
Keith* a deputy marshal, and his son, Al
bert Keith, who claims to bo a deputy
marshal, fell out with H. M. Bramlett
and Christy Grier for swearing out a war
rant against a witness for perjurjyin Gil
mer county, and Albert Kielb swore out a
warrant against Bramlett and Grier for
conspiracy and intimidation, before W.
R. Smilb, a commissioner, in Atlanta.
When these deputy marshals returned to
Gilmer they arrested Bramlett and Grier.
Bramlett’s mother is very ill and so is his
wife, and Dr. J. B. Johnson, a leading
citizen of Gilmer county, gave the follow
ing certificate:
Ellijay, GiLvtn Comm, June 13,1881—
I hereby certify that I am a practicing
physician in said connty; that themotherof
H. M. Bramlett, the above deponent, is
dangerously sick, and I further certify that
from my own personal knowledge, tho
mother of deponent is dependent upon him
for proper nursing and the care and atten-
tion necessary to her safety, and that it
will not be safe for said H. M. Bramlett to
leave bis mother at this time.
[Signed] J. R. Johnson, M. D.
Sworn to and subscribed before me, Juno
13,1881. J. C. Allen, Ordinary..
Mr. J. C. Allen, the ordinary of the’,
couuty, is also a practicing attorney, aud
as counsel for Bramlett and Grier, filled
With the Keiths a demand to bavo his
clients tried before McB. Wilson, who Is
a United States commissioner at Ellijay,
in Gilmercounty. Tho Keiths disregard
ed the certificate and the demand, and
brought Bramlett and Grier to Atlanta,
ninety miles from their homes. Bram
lett and Grier were required to give a
bond of three hundred dollars for one,
and five hundred dollars for the other,
which they gave immediately. H. K.
Keith then swore out warrants against
Dr. Johnson and Mr. Allen, charging
them with obstructing and delaying a
deputy marshal, and went back to Gilmer
county and arrested them. They were
brought to Atlanta and tried day before
yesterday before Commissioner Smith,
and after hearing the evidence the case
was dismissed. Such transactions as this
are calculated to bring (lie administration
of the law into disrepute, and we call
upon those who have this matter in hand
to deal with these officers as their conduct
deserves. General Loiigstreet can do no
better service to the government and to
the people tlian to remove such men
promptly and stance. We never heard
of such an arbitrary exercise of authority
on the part of a deputy marshal even’ ,!n
the days of 1870 and.lS7I, when an hon
est deputy was the exception and dishon
est dsputies the rule.
The Jonesboro Ncids says: John
Scarborough shot and. killed a negro

wounded Lemuel Bedsell, last Saturday,
Also that Mr. Joseph Camp was run over

__ Hj, B.F., Coleman Writes as follows
the Col umbos Enquirer-Sun: On the first
day of last October I planted a grain of
wheat in a flower pot, and when two
inches high transplanted it in tho garden.
On the mil of November, it having til
lered, I divided it Into four parts, and re
set them in the ground. On the 1st or
February I again divided them, making In
all thirty-one plants. A cold rain coming
on immediately after transplanting, their
growth was retarded; then the chickens
got to them, eating them to the ground
and' killing nine of tho plants. The re
maining twenty-two grew well until the
1st of June, when they were blown down
by a storm, thereby tojuringthe latoheads.
From the twenty-two plants 1 gathered
<100 heads, most of them small. These
shelled out almost a pint of clean wheat,
counting out 10,071 grains. Tho best head
gave 65 grains. Average per head, 25|

The Dawson Journal echoes the wall
of the Albany News, as heard above, and
says:
We came to Dawson in 1874 and have
since made it our home.' We have had
good and poor crops since that time, but
no year has presented such gloomy pros
pects to the farmers in this section as the
present. It is now, we think, utterly im
possible for us to make a half crop of corn,
and the cotton Is quite small and daily
wilting and growing beautifully less.
We find the following in the Eastman
Times:
A Huge AlligAtor.—Mr. B. F.
Clark, of this comity, brought to our office
on Tuesday the bones of the upper and
lower jaws—minus tho teeth—of an alli
gator, which, In gigantic proportions, ex
ceeds anything of the kind we have ever
seen. These two bones weigh 14 J pounds.
The upper ono is 1 foot 8J inches in
length immediately down the face, and 1
foot across just below the eyes. The un
der one is 2 feet 01 inches in length. The
two together measure 2 feet S inches in
circumference, over the eyes. This all-
gator was fonnd 'by Mr. Clark near the
bank ol theOcmulgee river in this county,
just below what is known as Hendley’s
landing, soon after the heavy freshet of
last spring. He was dead when found,
and measured 14 feet in length. There
was also a smaller one found dead at the
same time near the same place.

Wool Sales.—on Monday last Hon.
J. J. Rozar and Dr. Buchan, two of the
largest wool growers in this county, put
their wool on the market, which amounted
to 11,333 pounds. The price was a little
off from last week, hence the bidding was
perhaps not as animated as it would have
been had this amount of wool been put
on the market a few days earlier. Mr.
Henry Coleman oflered 3If cents, which
was the top of the market, and the trade
was closed. Of this amount of wool
Judge Rozar owned 0,149 ponnds, and
Dr. Buchan the balance—5,184 ponnds.
Rozar received $1,952.30J, and Buchan
$1,045.92.
Judge J. J. Rozar exhibited in our
office last week a fleece of wool, clipped
from one sheep, which weighed eleven
pounds. This is unusually heavy for the
wool from one sheep. The average weight
is about three pounds to the sheep, though
the Judge says he sheared one some years
ago that carried eleven and a half pounds.
The Cochran Enterprise has the follow
ing: 1
David Garrett Shot.—On Saturday
evening last Napoleon Cheney shot Mr.
David Garrett in the right arm, making a
serious but not dangerous wound. The
ball entered just inside the elbow joint
and rauged down the arm toward and
near the wrist The circumstances are
about as follows: Some time since it will
be remembered that the Enterprise pub
lished, on the authority of a correspon
dent the shooting of Mr. Tyra Garrett’s
wife by her daughter, all of which proved
to be false, and the rumor was traced to
the Cheney and especially to Napoleon,
who, it Is said, first told the slory. Sev
eral little neighborhood quar
rels have resulted from it, but
nothing . serious until last Satur
day evening. It seems that Mr. David
Garrett who is an old man, and young
Cheney belonged to the same church, and
on last Saturday the matter was brought
before the church, and young Cheney was
dismissed from membership. As Mr.
Garrett was returning to his home in the
evening he was met by Cheney, with a
E islcl in his pocket and a brush in his
and. He accosted Mr. Garrett and asked
him what sort of chat he had been having
about him at church. Mr. G. replied
that he had had no chat. Mr. Garrett,
seeing that Cheney was going to hit him
with the brash, drew back his walking
cane, and Cheney ran, Mr. Gairett
following ' him for some dis
tance, hut never got in reach. He
turned and came back, followed at a
distance by C, When Cheney came up
some ladies saw him draw his pistol and
called to him not to shoot. He fired and
as Mr. Garrett’s back was to him shot him
in the arm, as above described. The
affair is to be much regretted, as it is
feared mGro trouble will result from the
unfortunate rumor. The shooting took
place about one mile from Mr. Garrett’s
home, ip the edge or Laurens couuty
some ten or twelve miles east of Cocbrair
We have not heard of any arrest. Ijtf.
Garrett' we have long known as a peace
able, quiet, good citizen. Mr. Cheney,
we do not know, but learn he is quite a
young man. We presume the matter will
undergo legal investigation. .

Henry Grady remarked the other
day that the Legislature should pass a law
added a number of years to the sentence
of criminals. We heard a lawyer say tlutt
lie could always come near guessing the
pending sentence of a condemned prisoner
by the judge's temper after dinner. By
the way,would it not bo a good idea for tho
Legislature to appoint a commission, com
posed of three physicians, at a liberal
saiaty, to regulate a judge’s stomach before
he passes sentence?
Tjifc editor of the Efc/iO has been Inter-
-rlewing Dr. wniingffajn, of that connty,
' chairman of the legislative committee to
visit tiie convict camps, ami corkscrewed
tho-following out of him:
Here (tho Dade county coal in nes) our
informant saw aud conversed with Cox,
the slayer of Bob Alston. Cox Wears tire
carl) of crime, and his business is to feed,
harness aud take care of sixty mules. His
is the “softest job” in the camps, bntMt
lacks a great deal of being a “flowery bed
or ease.” From what we can < gather,-
some of tiie lessees are not fulfilling tbeir
duty. At ono place the prisoners arc
kept at work fifteen hoars a day, with
only fifteen minutes for dinner. They
get home at 8:30 at night and are woku up
by 3 next morning.- At other points they
complain of not having enough to eat.
Whipping, in its most cruel form, Is olten
practiced, and one convict showed tho
committee a place where lie had been
burned with a hot iron for. trying to es
cape. The lessees were expecting a visit
from the committee, and at one camp the
whitewash hadn’t got diy, being just put
on for their eyes. While at most of the
camps the committee were received with
quiet courtesy, at some few they met a
rather cool reception.
The committee will report in favor of
a continuation of the lease system, but re*
commend a commission composed of a
doctor, a lawyer and a citizen, whose
business it shall he to examine the camps
and see that the convicts are treated hu
manely. This, we think, is a good move.
Tho only complaint the convicts made
at the Dade mines was that during the
coal famine In Atlanta they were worked
until late at night, with a promise of ex
tra pay, but this they had never received,
Senator Brown rcJusing to settle with
them on the plea that they had beeu
caught cheating about the number of

interviewed. • He was .confined to his bed,
and there is no chance to restore his
sight.

The .Pike County News “hopes the
Legislature, soon to meet in Atlanta, will
have more regard for the wishes of the
people of Georgia than to appropriate any
of the State’s money to ran the Kimball
cotton show in Atlanta.”
Mr.. John Kee, of Talbot county, tells
the Columbus Times the lollowiugyarn:
It was early Sunday morning. My
daughter was engaged iu sweeping off the
front porch, when her attention was at
tracted by the plaintive cries of young
chickens and the distressed clackin' of a
hen. The sound came from a pile of
leaves under some poplaf trees in the
yard, and hurrying to the spot she found
the little chicks all stuck up with leaves,
rolling abont straggling to free them
selves and two of the little sufferers
were stuck together. She picked these
two up, and coming to the bouse called
me. On examination we found them cov
ered with a sticky substance, which
seemed to have come off the leaves. I
went out into the yard and found it on
all the leaves, and, tasting, was surprised
to find it honey. Looking around I could
see it glistening in the sunshine like
diamonds on every leaflet, and on the
porch lor two or three feet were splotches
of It. Several neighbors dropped in during
the day whom I told of the honey shower,
supposing it had been general, but they
were incredulous till shown evidences of
it. In the evening of tho same day I
noticed a mist between me and the snn,
and a closer examination disclosed the
fact the we were having a repetition of
the wonderful phenomena, which was
witnessed by a dozen people. While it
did not run off the house, either morning
or evening, it covered the leaves of the
trees and shrubs, and was, without doubt,
honey dew, and that, too, from a cloud less
sky.
An Atlanta letter to tho Greensboro
Herald says the preachers of that city
“have inaugurated one of the most fanat
ical and imbccilo superstitions ever ex
hibited in modern times. I speak of the
withdrawing from the columns of the
Sunday morning edition of the city pa
pers tbeir announcements in the church
directory. This move Is said to be tiie
grave deliverance ol a conference of city
ministers, in solemn convention -as
sembled—and opened with prayer. To
any one but a superficial observer it Is
clearly evident that a proposition contain

James Tillenghast, of the New York Cen
tral railroad, os to tiie disposition made
of certain large sums of money which
have recently passed through his hands,
and C- P. Ingersoll, ol Cattaraugus coun
ty, as to remarks mado to him by Bradley
to the effect that lie (Bradley) had got
tired of voting Tor. Conkling and Plait,
and would vote thereafter forDepow.
Nothing of importance was elicited.
John J. Davenport was then called and
testified as follows: “1 went to Washing
ton in May to see about a cash in which I
had been retained. At the breakfast table
In Willard’s Hotel, Washington, tho ques
tion of the marshalship was brought up,
and the name3 of Hugh Gardner and Coi.
Erbardt were mentioned In connection
therewith. After breakfast I went to the
President’s house, the Postmaster-General
being present with mo. Tlio President
asked me who would be a good mail for
the office of marshal in New York. I re
plied that I could not say. He asked me,
‘How about Mr. Knox?’ I said his
appointment would be an excellent
one. The President asked me
to see Mr. Knox at tho Arlington. I did so
and talked an hour with him, but Mr.
Knox insisted that he did not want it;
that be had no acquaintance with the
politicians, and feared it would interfere
with his professional business. Finding
him unwilling to accept it, Judge Gard
ner’s and Colonel Efliardt’s names were
again brought up, followed by my sug
gesting Mr. Strahan’s name. I went back
to the White House and found the Presi
dent busily engaged, but-he came out in
the library, and, after telling him about
the refusal of Mr. Knox, I mentioned
Mr. Strahan’s name; but the President
did not know him. I went back to Knox,
and after talking a while sent that tele
gram to Strahan, and came on to New
York. I met Mr. Strahan. at the Union
League Club that night, and asked if I
could use his name for the office of mar
shal. Mr. Strahan said: ‘Do you know
whether Conkling aud Platt are to be
candidates?’ I answered that I did not.
He then asked me: ‘Where are you in
this fight ?’ I answered: ‘In this issue I
am with the President.’ He said: ‘I don’t
know whether either gentleman will be
a candidate, but I don’t desire to be em
barrassed.’ He asked if this offer could
be held over until after tin settlement of
the United States Senatorsliip. I replied:
‘No; I must have an answer immediately.’
Itoidhlinth&tof course he W£uld be ex
pected to vote against Conkling and,
Platt. He wanted to consult with
Judge Gardner that night, and give me an
answer in the morningT 1 agreed to tbis,
and in the morning he telegraphed that
he would not accept the place, x received
a telegram about 2 o’clock that morning
from Henry E. Knox, at Washington,
asking me to suggest some name if Sena
tor Strahan would not accept the place.”
Hero the committee took a recess.
Albany, June 24.—An exciting scene
occurred at the Delavan House last night.
Senator Madden met Mr. Conkling in the
hall and extended his hand, which Mr.
Conkling refused to accept, and bitter
were the words which followed. Senator
Madden replied in unmeasured terms to
the sarcastic language of Mr. Conkling.

Senator Foster moved an adjonrnment.
Senator Pitts opposed adjournment, and
said it was tho duty of this joint conven
tion to stay here and vote two, three and
six times daily.
Senator Brooks said it was tiie height of
recklessness on the part of the majority to
keep this Legislature hero seeking a re
sult which it is clear they cannot control.

sooner be reached by taking more than

Senator Husted contended that it was
tlio duty of this Legislature to obey tiie
laws of Congress and continue voting on
this question. He denied that there was
any demand on the part of the people for
an adjournment. The motion for an ad
journment was carried by 70 to 57, aud
the convention adjourned.

utual conference this eveuing, at which it
is said the candidacy of Lieutenant-Gov

to make an endeavor to increase his vote

out of (Iio star, route cases, ex-Assistant
Postmaster .General Brady making,
through liis counsel, application that the

there were pressing matters of public con
cern which demanded the immediate at-

wise, that his client, Brady, amt others
W9re soon to be brought before the grand
jury on a criminal charge connected with
the alleged frauds in tliV. postal service, to
immediateiy-instrnct the grand Jury lo
take notice ofthis public rumor, and pro
ceed to the investigation of the charges
against his client.
District Attorney Corkhill said that he
had received a few minutes betore notice
from the attorneys of General Brady, en
closing the following letter from that gen
tleman :
“Washington, D. C., June21,18Sl.—
Messrs. Shellabarger & Wilson and ot-
ten—Gents : The following, clipped
from the Evening Star, I assume to ho a
correct statement of the present situation,
aud of tho disposition of tho government
in the matter of the prosecution of the
alleged unlawful practices which many of
the newspapers of the country have during
the past two or three months daily charged
me with committing during my
recent official term as second asais’ant
posttnaster-goneral. [Tiie article quoted I
from tho Star stated that the star route I
cases would be postponed until September
for reasons set forth.] To this dispo
sition of the matter I do most earnestly
and energetically protest. If there are
any charges to bo presented against me
before a /legal tribunal for alleged rais-
[oonduct while In office, 1 desire
that, tho proceedings be promptly
instituted, in order that I may
have an opportunity to appear and vindi
cate myself therefrom. For many weeks
the press of tho country has been furnish
ed witli dispatches and correspondence
from Washington lo manufacture ‘com
mon rumor’ to the effect that the govern
ment was fully prepared, upon tiie Impan
eling of a new grand jury, (which was
completed to-day, aud jurors qualified) to
preseut testimony which would result in
an indictment against me, to be followed
by trial before a petit jury, drawn and
qualified at the same time; aud my con
viction before the latter body has been
assumed as a certain result to follow the
presentation of the testimony which it has
been industriously circulated tbe govern
ment has already accumulated.
“I come here very anxious to meet the
slanderous charges whenever presented in
a court ot justice, conscious that the in
evitable conclusion of an impartial inves
tigation will to be to forever annihilate
the base fabrications against my official
conduct and my good name. I am in
formed and believe the fact to be that
certain persons of depraved character are
under pay from the government to procure
testimony against me, and 1 believe these
persons will, to accomplish their purposes,
commit perjury themselves and pro
cure others to do so. Kuowing
my entire innocence of the charges which
these disreputable persons desire me to
be suspected guilty of, I consider it my
legal right to bo speedily investigated by
a respectable and properly impaneled
grand jury. It is a hardship approaching
cruelty, and likely to work unparalleled
injury, that the government authority
should permit three or four irresponsible
detectives, who appear to tho public as be
ing interested in the procurement of
the testimony needed to make
a case—to thus, through the medium of
press dispatches and correspondence daily
sent from the national capital to all quar
ters of tho coun’ryj to influence public
opinion, and thereby, to that degree, unlit
the minds of my fellow-men fora fair and
impartial trial of the case, if one is to be
presented. A private individual who
would corrupt the sources of -jastice by
the use of the press or of money to
convict a citizen of au alleged crime,
would render himself iufaiuous. That
this is being done by the government is
no less base and certainly more rep-
rehonsiblo, inasmuch as no per
son not officially connected with the
prosecution cau possibly know anything
of tho measure and force of the testimony
accumulated, if any there be. Therefore,
it appears plausible at least that the news
papers receive suggestions as to the al
leged criminal conduct of the persons ac
cused from those employed by the gov
ernment to work the case up. With these
facts in view, I desire yon to urge upon
tho government the justice of promptly
placing its case against me, if it lias any,
before the grand juiy of the District of
Columbia, where it may bo in
quired into under the methods
recognized as legitimate by the law, and
if upon wholly ex parte testimony, how
ever procured, an indictment follows such
investigation, that I be offered an imme
diate opportunity to vindicate myself from
the charges therein named. You. sirs,
cannot fail to discover the reasonableness
of tbis request. To subject me to the de
structive effects, in business and social
life, of the unwarranted procrastination of
this matter is uiijost to me as it
is discreditable to tho govern
ment. I therefore ask 1 of you
to begin the trial of this case, if cue there
is to be, at the present session of the court,
and dispose ot it, and thus terminate this
continued stream of scandal against me,
which is beitig daily sent adrift through
tbe press, furnished by the disreputable
detectives employed by the government to
‘work up a case.’ I am ready tow oral
any time. ’I simply want an opportunity
to meet tiie charges when presented in
some legitimate form and before a recog
nized tribunal, aud not be subjected, de
fenseless, to the steady stream of detrac
tion which is being poured out daily
through different channels from Washing
ton into the columns of the papers, ’ Very
respectfully, Thomas J. Brady.”
Continuing, District Attorney Cornhill
said the grand iury would not be in ses
sion after the 5th of July, and that he felt
it bis duty at this time to first pay atten
tion to tho helpless citizens incarcerated
without bail, before bringing any great
case before the grand jury. There was
nothing, ho said, before the court that de
manded an investigation by tiie grand
jury, as spoken of by Coi. Totten, and
tlwre was nothing 'on the records of the'
court that demanded such action Os Col.
Totten sought.
Col. Cook, special assistant attorney
general, was present and opposed the
motion, and Mr. Jeremiah Wilson, of
Brady’s counsel, argued in favor of It. I
Judge Cox, in denying the application,
said that the subject was one of great deli
cacy, and that there were difficulties in
tbe investigation of the proofs touching
these wrong doings. It was apparent
that the grand jury could not make a step
in the investigation without tbe assistance
of those who had explored tho archives of
the government.
In conclusion, he said: “It would be
wrong to instruct the grand jury in regard
to General Brady’s alleged' complicity in
the frauds against the government. When,
the government is prepared to produce its
proof before the jury, it will do so. Those
newspaper 1 reports complained of are, of
course, a very great evil, and, if General
Brady lias been wrongly accused, a very
great wrong has been done him, and he
has Iiis remedy in tho courts; lint

to enforce ; tho United States into
; an investigation, prematurely, . when
the government is : not prepared, and into

wlp. is accused by public rumor ol this
evjl. Therefore, I do not se<j proper lo
give . the grand juiy any more definite
chaiges -than havd already been given
tb-sm.”
Assistant Attorney General Cook .then
arerred the court that there would be no
difficulty in future; that the government
would work •industriously in the prepara
tion of'the case, so tliat when the court
reopened in September the matter would
lie placed before , the’gtand fury ic due
form.

Hearing that the Podnnk Academy, near
Mjacon, was abopt to close for the summer,
a Telegraph reporter hired an ox-cart
yesterday, and rode out to report the clos
ing exercises. Tho day was delightfully
warm, and a pleasant breeze animated the
slender vegetation along the way. Tho
snow having melted, the reporter left his
qnejted the.court, in view of the rumors during the day. Arriving at the academy,
givonuut inOhepablic^ press and othes- he was escorted tow sent-in-the-frontrow,
and Pnfessor Squibs, tho fat and jolly
hoad of ffie institution, ordered the class in
revised geography io..come to . taw.. The
movement was executed in fine order, and
the class was ready for business. Singling
out a bright-eyed boy,-about the centre of
the class, tho Professor began tho examin
atfon. .. t ! br r
“What is the capital of Georgia ?”
“Atlanta.” •’ ,r '
“Next!” . J
“The Gate City.” ‘ •
“Correct, go up. How is it bounded ?”
“Bounded on tho north by Tennessee, on
the South by Florida, on the west by Ala
bama and on tho east by South Carolina
nnd the Atlantic ocean.”
“What is (he character pf tho people?”
“They have no charaoter.”
“What is tho population of the city?”.
“Fifteen hundred thousand.", r
“Give us a description of the city.” 1
“Tho Gate City is noted chiefly for its
railroads. Every railroad in tho United
States teach out of Atlanta and into it It
has a canal that runs up hill frointlia Chat
tahoochee, and a customhouse as large as
St. Peters in Rome. It is noted for its wa
ter, wliich annually deposits earth for hun
dreds of building lots about the city. Ships
abont to sail have their wind expressed to
them from tiie Gate City. It never gets
hot there, nor . cold. The only thing that
prevents oranges and bananas growing
thore is tiie want of room. In this city
every man lives off of his neighbor except
the last man, who is supported out of, tho
treasury.” ; ,,,
“Correct. But what about the military?”
“There is only one company in tho Gate
City—the Gate City Guards. They fired
the first gun of the wur, went, into Virginia
first and came back last, Foreigners have
pronounced them the Old Guard of Na
poleon in disguise.”
“Entirely correct,” murmured tho pro
fessor. “Now,” to the next, “where is Au
gusta?”
“Augusta is situated upon tbe Augusta
canal.”
“How is Augusta governed? •'
“The government is despotic. Wm.
Moore and Pleas Stovall own the city and
run the canal.” w •
“Give me some facts concerning Au
gusta?” :
“Tho city was discovered by Columbus
when only kceo iiigh, and rebuilt. It con
sists entirely of Green street, a canal and
the mills. It is situated on the Savannah
river jast opposite Hamburg, noted for its
trestle works, fine lace and river edgings.”
“Is that all?”
“That—that—that is nil,” The profes
sor reflected n moment and nodded his
head. Then turning to the next student,
continued: , • -
“Where is Macon?”
“Macon is situated on the Oomulgee
river in Bibb county.”
“What about it?” “
“It is a city of twenty odd thousand in
habitants. They are energetic, progressive
people and now have the city upon a boom.
No city in the South has made the progress
Macon has in five years. Now houses,
stores, enterprises and projects are con
tinually advanced and finished.”
“Well.” ' ,.
“But there is a class of people in the lim
its that swing on to the coat tails of other
days. They are the people who carry with
them each a wet blanket. Whenever they
hear of a new enterprise, or whenever thoy
catch a man striking ont into a new direc
tion they immediately cover him with a
wet blanket, and with eyes rolled to
heaven, mouth drawn down and discour
aging twang in their tones, whine ont:
“Impossible, impossible; yon will rain the
city, yon will rain trade, yon will rain the
church, you will rain the streets,
yon will ruin the park, yon will rain the
cemetery, and, worst of all,- yon will rain
ns. The city needs many things yet to
make it solid in every respect, bat.it needs
nothing worse than a dozen or so of first
class funerals, headed by corpses wrapped
in wet blankets.”
“Bully for yOu,” roared tho fat professor,
bringing his fist down npon tho table with
a force that shot a stream of ink from the
stand to the ceiling, and freckled the face
of a boy who was shooting spit-bolls np
thore. “Bully for you. But is that all t"
“No, sir,” murmured the timid boy, dig
ging his little finger nervously in his pant's
seams, and eyeing the reporter sideways as
ho hung down his head—“No, sir. Tho
livest paper in the State is published there
—tho Telegraph and Messenger.” The re
porter, exclaiming “Oh, my!” in an audible
