the resident magistrate was compelled to

ambition for her sou. She said, ‘I hope

A new paper hss recently been estab
lished in Buffalo, N. Y., devoted to immi
gration, called the North and South. Its
object is to present an honest representa
tion of the agricultural, manufacturing
and industrial resources of the South. Its
mission will be a glorious one if it can
find readers in the North open to convlc
tlon upon these interesting points. Usu
ally they are impervious to all honest en
deavor to enlighten them. Their assumed
superior Intelligence is only equaled by
their actual Ignorance of almost every
thing that pertains to the South and her
resources. The editor of the North and
South says: “We are aware that so high
an authority In this mailer as Mr. Edward
Atkinson, who, however, is a New Eng
land man and identified with the cotton
interests of that part of the country,main
tains that the South can not become t
great center of the cotton manufacturing
industry. But we have not seen any
reasons pat forth in support of this opinion
which can not be satisfactorily met or any
obstacles pointed oat which can not be
overcome in time.”
Of course Mr. Atkinson can not see
why the mountain streams of Georgia
could putin motion as many spindles as
the same volume of water can do in New
Englaud. He is purblind to everything
but his own interest, and his iaterest is
in New England. But Mr. Atkinson, if
he were as honest as he pretends to be for
the development of the South, could
not fail to confess that the South
has rare natural advantages
for the development of this industry. It
will require time to place the South any
where on an equal footing with New Eng
land as a manufacturing centre. But
with capital and perseverance, this end
will be accomplished, and in much quicker
time than the opponents of the movement
are willing to admit. The same argument
that proves the folly of sending American
raw cotton to English mills to be manu
factured aud returned to our markets,
applies with equal force to the folly of
sending Southern raised cotton to New
Englaud, when we have within our own
limits every natural facility for manufac
turing. True, we have not the factories
nor the capital to build them just now,
but men—New Englaud men, too—more
shrewd than Mr. Atkinson, see the open
ing, and will, as some have already done,
take advantage of our magnificent water
power, and transfer their interests from
New England into the cotton belt. We
see It announced that Priestly & Sons
among the largest manufacturers of fine
dress goods, whose works at Bradford
England, continually ran 1,500 steam
looms, are about lo move their entire
business to Philadelphia, being convinced
that the United States is to be the future
industrial centre.
This getting away from the old and the
New England centres alike only demon
strates that this industry cannot any
longer be confined to such narrow limits,
the opinion of Mr. Edward Atkinson to
the contrary, nevertheless. It is probable
that the operatives generally will follow
Messrs. Priestly & Sous, and thas a largo
increase of skilled laborers will be in the
market. Several English capitalists have
already been prospecting throngb the
South, and one intelligent gentleman re
marked: “The only thing I see to warrant
success which is lacking, is a denser pop
ulation. Every other surrounding is fa
vorable.”
We hope large numbers of these Intelli
gent manufacturers will come to the At
lanta exposition and see for themselves,
and learn for themselves, the true extent
of our resources and capabilities for be
coming a manufacturing center.
The Army ol the Cumberland.
There Is to be a reunion of tbo Federal
soldiers composing tho “Army of the Cum
burland,” at Chattanooga on tbo 21st
inst. Many of the prominent officers In
the United States Army will be in atten
dance os well as the principal officers of
the volunteer service. They have been
invited to hold their reunion in a South
ern city, doubtless with a motive. What
is still more remarkable in this instance
they are to bo welcomed by an organiza
tion of Confederate soldiers, over which
the gallant Joe Johnston is to preside.
There is also to be quite a number of
the prominent Confederate generals,
among whom are the names of Generals
Gordon, Colquitt,Uampton, Butler, D. H.
Hill and Filzbugb Lee, reported to be
present.
Ills eminently proper that General
Jolmstou should be placed in tbe lead,
for with Lee and Jackson he was held In
high esteem by the Federal army as a sol
dier aud a gentleman. There has never
been balf tbe antagonism among the sol
diers who did the fighting in the different
armies as there has been among the sharks
and contractors who fattened on the mis
eries of the war.
Politics is to be eliminated from the
proceedings of this gathering. While
reminiscences and deeds of valor are to
bo recited and the memory of the brave
and fallen referred to, it will bo done
without bitterness, and have no political
significance whatever. While doubtless
the majority of thoso coming from beyond
the Ohio river will be Republicans, yet
there will be many of them Democrats;
but party affiliation will Lave nothing to
do with the objectof tbe reunion. We are
glad, therefore, that tho soldiers of both
armies are to meet together, and that, too,
on Southern soil. Wo arc glad that tho
Southern soldier has it in his heart to
welcome, no linger Ills enemy, bat his
fellow-countryman of the Northern army,
to partake of Southern hospitality. This
meeting will have a beneficial result upon
both sections, and give force to the ex
pression of that universal feeling of sym
pathy in the case of the wouuded Presi
dent. If wisdom and prudence prevail,
“tlio boys in blue” and “the boys In gray”
will bless the day that brought them to
gether in Chattanooga.
Tlie Cincinnati Southern.
Tub Awahd Confirmed, and the
Euulsqek Syndicate Wins the
Ppize.
The funding commissioners of the Cin
cinnati Southern railway met Wednes
day afternoon to take final action on tbe
lease of that road to the Erlanger syndi
cate. The following telegram tells the
story:
Cincinnati, September 7.—The sinking
fund tru-tees met this afternoon pursuant
to adjournment, for the purpose of taking
action in reference to tho lease of the Cin
cinnati Southern railroad, which the trust
ees of the road voted to lease to Fred
Wolffe and associates—tho highest bidders.
AU the members were in attendance. After
satisfying themselves of the ability of the
Erlnnger syndicate to fulfill their agree
ment the resolution of Mr. Dexter was
passed by n unanimous vote. The resolu
tion is as follows: {
“That the award of the lease of the Cin- j
cinimti Southern railroad rnnde by the
tiustee* ot the Southern road to the par
ties and on the terms and conditions stated
in the trustees’ communication of Septem
ber 5,1M1, be and the «ame is hereby ap
proved by the trustees of the sinking
fond.”
Mr. Laws stated that, in answer to. tho
cablegram sent to the Erlangers, they had
stated that Fred Wolffe had been author
ized to bid for the road for them, and that
41* per cent, of the stock would be taken in
Cincinnati and 61 per cent, in London.
Tbe meeting was a harmonious one
throughout, and our people are satisfied
with the result.
The Atlanta Constitution says that Col.
Cole bas gone to New York in tbe mean
time, and that there are three courses
open to him, to-wit:
1st. To oontest the matter with Mr.
Wolffe, and insist that his bid was the best.
2d. To Join with Huntingdon and build
a competing line of his own into Cincin
nati via Livingston and Maysville.
3d. To drop the Cincinnati connection
and rely on his Bystom commanding fair
terms from tbe Southern, no matter who
gets it.
It is believed in Atlanta that he will
conclude to extend the Knoxville and
Ohio so as to connect with the Kentucky
Central, which will give him a pretty good
line Into Cincinnati, and the Constitution
tbiuks his visit to New York will result
in an early beginning of that work. The
Constitution drops the subject with tais
exhibition of sour grapes:
“If this is done it will be even better for
Atlanta and for Georgia than if GoL Cole
had secured the Cincinnati Southern, for
we will get two lines to Cincinnati, where
we would then have had only one. We
shall probably bear from Col. Cole in a few
days.

State School Commissioner.Orr is given
by the Constitution as authority for the
statement that if the bill becomes a law
it will add $63,000 a year to tbe yearly
educational fund of the State, and that
this will give us for tho year a sum total
of $415,000, estimatiug the poll tax, the
half of the State road rent and the pro
ceeds of the tax on exhibitions of all
sorts. He also said there were 433,444
school children in Georgia, and added:
Wo are doing more work, with little
money in Georgia than is being done in
nny State of this Union. Last year wo had
only 80 cents per capita to school popula
tion; only S1.4G for each enrolled pupil, and
only $2.23 for each pupil in actual atten
dance. With tiffs we had to educate tho
children ot Georgia for throe months.
If the bill pas-ed to-day will not enable
us to keep school longer it will msko tho
system much more efficient while in oper
ation. It will raise the per capita for the
school population abovo 30 cents and give a
like increase in the other figures I have
given. _
Gen. W. B. Hazen, chief of the signal
service corps, in answer to an inquiry
concerning Captain Howgate’s case,
said that although it is not
known where Captain Howgate is at
piesent, he did not doubt for an instant
but that he would appear in Washington
in time for his trial. The Captain had
given ball in $40,000 to appear, and he
thought that he would not make bis per
sonal friends, who aro his bondsmen, pay
such an amount in event of his non-ap
pearance, as ho knows it would ruin some
of them. General Hazen thinks that
Captain Howgate has only gone away for
medical treatment, and will, if he is alive
at the time of trial, put in au appearance.
Mr Walter on Fair Trade.
This gentleman, the proprietor of the
Loudon Times, reached New York a few
days ago. Being a representative Eng
lishman, a reporter of the Now York
World drew from him the following in
reference to the agitation of “fair trade”
in England. Mr. Walter said:
“In the great fight which was carried
on by Mr. Cobden aud his followers, the
principles of free trade were grafted into
tlie English mind. I do not think it
would be possible to persuado the Eng
lish people that it is a wise thing to tax
the whole nation for tho benefit of the
few. However skillfully you may adjust
a protective tariff there must be some
point at which it presses heavily upon the
people, who receive no benefit whatever
from It. That such pressure is wrong
has been adopted as a principle In the
English commercial legislation aud tbe
peoplo believe in it and uphold It. This
prejudice, if you call it so, would, I think,
be one exceedingly difficult to overcoxe.
It is certainly no less strong than was
the prejudice in favor of protection, and
that look unremitting effort on tbe
part of Mr. Cobdeu and bis adherents be
fore they could remove It—effort which
was continued for many years. This lair
trade movement is, 1 think, chiefly the
result of the outcry of a few discontented
people—such as you will find in every
community—and not a general feeling
any way. The question of protection, or
rather of duty, must always be with us
identical with that of revenue. If the
revenue chould fall short then a duty
might be imposed. For example, a duty
on French wines. I have always been
myself in favor of tlie shilling duty on
claret. It would not be protection in any
sense of the word, because there are no
Englishmen making claret. It would,
however, bo a duty which would largely
add to the revenue, aud being purely a
customs tax and not a protective duty,
would not interfere with tlie principle in
commercial legislation of which 1 have
spoken.”
“What has been the effect of the impor
tation of American meal?”
“Not very much yet. We had some
time ago a cargo of mutton brought from
South America which affected the market
for a few days. Should these new cold-
air ships prove a success the meat supply
of Englaud would be affected, no doubt,
but so far the importations have not been
large enough to make any great difference
in prices.”
TIm “JBarbarou*” South.
Courier Journal.
We have received a printed circular from
the Hon. Wn. E. .Chandler, of Massachu
setts, announcing that it ia a “national dis
grace" that the parties who shot Judge
Chisholm, of Kemper oounty, Miss., have
not been punished, and that the Sonth ia
"barbarous.” We have to say to Hon. W.
E. Chandler that it is truly deplorable that
any murderers escape punishment in this
country, but if the exemption of murderers
from punishment is an evidence of barbar
ity there must be some painfully barbarous
communities in New England and else
where in the North. The Chicago papers
tell ns that no murderers are punished
there, and the murders average one a
week. .
How She “Kitchen Cabinet” Manages!
Matter*-—Professional Bickerings.
The Baltimore Sun’s Washington cor
respondent, referring to the removal of
General Garfield from the latter city, says:
“There was one thing abont the affair
that most every one witnessed, and that
was the absence of any of the members of
the cabinet. J here were all kinds of ex
planations heard abont this. The general
impression seemed to be that what is known
as “tho kitchen cabinet, Messrs. Rockwell,
Swaim and Corbin, purposely made tho ar
rangements so that the real cabinet would
be excluded. There are always jealousies of
this kind between the kitchen cabinet and
tbe official cabinet. While none of the cab
inet have ever been allowed in tho Presi
dent’s room Messrs. Rockwell and Swaim
have always had an nuobstrccted admis
sion. Members of the cabinet have spoken
of this to their friends, but undor tha cir
cumstances did not assert their rights in
the premises. There was room enough on
the train for at least twenty more, but
none were admitted nnless on a ticket
signed by Rockwell, and tbe members of
the cabinet declined to ask him for any.
They would have been at the White House
this morning to see tho President off, it is
said, had not the same thing prevented.
There has been much comment on this
matter during the day. Tho members of
the cabinet went to Long Branch, however,
bat on the regular train, which left three
hoars after that which carried tho Presi
dent.”
He also states that the official family at
the White House has not, for some time
past, been a happy one. The doctors have
had their differences gnd their jealousies,
aud there is no doubt as bas previously been
hinted, that tbe reason wby tbe bulletins
have been so meagre aud unsatisfactory
was because this was the only way to ob
tain tbe signatures of all tbe physicians in
attendance. Then there has been great
grumbling and chagrin among the mem
bers of the cabinet that they were so
rigidly excluded from the bedside ot the
President. It is said that even Blaine lias
not seen the President more than three
times since ho was wounded, and some of
the other members of the cabinet not more
than once.
The dismissal of Drs. Barnes, Rey-
bum aud Woodward, as telegraphed yes
terday, would seem to couflrm tho gen
eral, idea that “Cuxdurango” Bliss has
whipped the fight, aud will hereafter al
low nobody but the New York doctors to
assist him to kill or cure his patient. Ho
also evidently has President and Mrs.
Garfield on his side. It is understood
that the former was bent on getting rid
of some of bis doctors, as they bad over
ruled Dr. Hamilton on the question of re
moval to the seashore. When it was first
discussed three weeks ago, Dr. Hamilton
trenvly favored It, but was voted down-
Bliss must be swimming in an ocean of
glory. He bas bad all the rivals near his
throne turned out of doors, aud can strut
and swell without a rival. May tho Lord
take special care of Garfield now !
Domain.
The signal defeat and discomfiture of
Roscoe Conkling was a hard blow to ma
chine politics. His supreme arrogance
was strongly rebuked, and to-day he ap
pears in New York politics as an un.
known factor. His control of his party
was so complete and absolute that be
could dictate with impunity whatever pol
icy ho decided upon. In the fight at Al
bany he came out shorn of his power, hut
not of his energy. By a shrewd move
ment he controled the Republican State
committee and now tbe balf ljrepds must
figbt him upon his own dunghill. If he
is successful m controlling the coming
convention he will be more arrogant than
ever. If, on tbe other band, be is defeated,
“bosslsm” In New York Is doomed and
the Republican party a shattered fabric.
A man of remarkable ability, and a saga
cious manipulator, his warfare on his
foes will be relentless. Boss Kelly
and Boss Conkling may coalesce
and give the respective parties from which
they have seceded an immense amount ol
trouble, but pernaps tbe ends of justlco
will not suffer thereby. At all events
tbe 5th of October next will be an Im
portant epoch in tbo history of the Re
publican party. We shall look on with
complacency, and shall the more rejoice
at tho defeat of Conkling, for with that
comes the disintegration of the Republi
can ranks, which tho good ot the country
demands. If the Solid North could only
be broken in shreds there would be no
necessity of a Solid South.

That Dark TuetMlay.
New York Tribune.
If the President’s journey had not ab
sorbed pnblio attention and mado Tuesday
famous, that day would doubtless have been
long remembered in many localities for
strange atmospheric phenomena. In many
parts of tbe East and in Canada, the day
was so dark that it was impossible to get
along without artificial light. The most
singular effects thus far reported were in
Troy, Springfield, Mass., Providence, R. L,
Boston and Toronto. In Springfiold sev
eral largo manufactories suspended work,
reading and studying were abandoned in
some of the pnblio schools, and in hun
dreds of shops and - houses tbo gas jets
burned with a peculiar bright light. In To
ronto, great fear of some terrible calamity
disturbed the peace of timid and auperstr-
tious souls. At 5 o'clock the sky presented
tho appearance of an orange dome of ex
traordinary beauty. As sunset approach®
the orange hue deepened over sky and city,
and thestrecta were filled with people gaz
ing at tbe weird spectacle. In everyplace
where the unusual phenomenon was con
spicuous, people recalled the stories of the
fatuous “dark day,” about one hundred
years ago, when business was suspended,
candles made only a slight impression on
the universal gloom, and unreasoning roos
ters announced at noon-day a fictitious
dawn. Even tbe advanced knowledge of
to-day, while it laughs at superstitious
fears, and righ ly attributes to natural con
ditions such strange appearances as those
of Tuesday, cannot give a very satisfactory
account of the oanses which produce them.

Colonel Don Murphy, of Halleck’s Sta

1811, and may be said to have mado the
country pay him well for his time. He is
now probably the largest private land-
owner on this continent. He has 4,000,000
ncros of land in ono body in Mexico, 60,000
in Kovada, and 23,000 in California. His
Mexican grant kebonght fonr years ago for
$200,000, or fivo cents an acre. It is sixty
miles long, and covers a boautifnl country
of hill and valloy, pine timber and meadow

There aro somo Republican Senators; at

the Senate is so closely divided that a com
promise and division of the offices would
be a reasonable solution. Respect for the
will of the peoplo does not make it obliga
tory in respect to either of tho minor
offices, as it does in respect to the Presi
dency of tho Senato, that it should bo filled
by a Republican. Instead of Mr. Gorliam,
it would bo far better to elect almost any
honornblo and capable Democrat. If afew
of tho moro conservative and patriotic

An Extraordinary Estimate or
Leader of tbe Lost Cause.
Georgians will read with pleasure the
following acoount of a visit to Hon. Jeffer
son Davis:
CFrom Mississippi City I visited the Hon.
Jefferson Davis, at Beanvoir. On alighting
from the train upon the platform of a
small station by that name, I inquired the
dircotion of' Mr. Davis’ residence, when a
well-dressed young man stepped forward
and, pointing to a buggy, said that if I would
take a seat in that be would take me to Mr.
Davis’ door. I accepted the offer, and in a
few minutes found myself at Beauvoir. On
entering, I was met by a servant, who in
formed me that Mr. Davis was ia his office
in the park. I sent him my name, and he
came immediately, followed by Mrs. Davis.
They met me in the most friendly and cor
dial manner, and at onoe gave mo to under
stand that I was the recipient of a hearty
welcome. We soon became engaged in an
animated and, to me, a most interesting
conversation, and, as I bad procured a
speaking-trumpet of groat power and effi
ciency in New Orleans, thoy were
relioved of any effort in conversation
which my deafness would otherwise
have required. To say that tho conversa
tion of Mr. Davis was interesting and in
structive would give no adequate idea of
the eager attention with which I listened to
him. There is no king, prince, or poten
tate, or intelligent individual in all this
world, however high or low he may be, who
could converse with Jefferson Davis ten
minutes without feeling a lively oousoious-
ness of the fact that he was in the presence
of a great man; not only great by the voice
of fame, not only great as having been the
President of the Southern Confederacy,not
only great as having beon the commander-
in-chief of the finest army that wa3 ever
marshaled on this earth, but great in aU
tho details that constitute truo greatness.
His polished dignity, his refined and court
eous manners, his vast store of knowledge,
his familiarity with ho characters of men
and with the nature and import of all im
portant events, his lofty sentiments,_ his
perfect language and cna3te expression,
render him a model of social excellence.
Mr. Davis expressed himself freely upon
the political questions and issues of the
day, and gavo me a great doal of valuable
information in regard to the political his
tory of Mississippi, but as my visit to him
was purely of a social character, I, of
course, do not feel at liberty to repeat any
expression of his views. He evidently
feels a deep interest in everything that
concerns the welfare of Mississippi and of
the Southern peoplo, but he said that he
was growing old, that ho was a remnant of
the past age, that ho had no son, and why
should ho burden himself with so much so
licitude about political affairs aud in re
gard to future events?—that when he went
hence ho would leavo no ono to boar hi3
name. I repliod that ho would leavo the
whole Southern peoplo to cherish his
name, and boar it in tho urn of
rovorenco and veneration down to the last
corridor of time. He paused as if affected
by the reflection which the sentiment ex
cited. Our conversation extended through
tho middle of the night, and when
I suggested that I was perhaps tres-
pasriug upon liis hours of rest, he replied
that he had no hours, and after I had re
tired he viiitod my room to inquire if Beau
voir could furnish anything that would add
to my comfort. Mrs. Davis is a lady wor
thy in every rospoet of hor illustrious hus
band. She shines to-day with the samo
luster that glittered in the eyes of tho world
when she moved as queen in tho socioty of
Washington and at Richmond, whore she
was tho first lady in America. Sho remain
ed with us almost constantly during our
lengthy conversation, and seemed to take
n lively interest in the various questions
which her husband disenssed. The
next morning Mr. Davis carried me through
his fine libraries, und showed nnd ex
plained to mo bis clogant pictures, which
was truly an interesting episode of my
visit. On taking my departure I said to
him that I hoped he might live many,
many years os a bright romombrance to
tho world of a great and glorious cause, to
whicli he courteously replied that ho hoped
I would add to tho pleasure of thoso years
by visiting him again. While my entire
stay upon tho coast was a continual round
of novolty and ploasantnoss, my visit to
Beanvoir was a fitting wreath to crown tho
remembranco of my trip to tho seashore of

of that kind of treatment increased her

Tnelr Practical Value Finally Recog
ulzetl—A Substitute lor Lightning
Bod*.
Prom the New York Times.
The fact that neither cats nor back
fences aro struck by lightning indicates
a close relation between tlie two. It sug
gests that either the fence protects the cats
or the cats protect the fence. Professor
Schmidt, in Investigating this matter,
demonstrated to his complete satisfaction
that there is no self-protecting power In
herent in back fences. He found that a
spark from a Laden jar could be passed
directly through any back feuce, and on
ono occasion, having placed a section of
back fence on the top of a house, ho ac
tually saw it struck and totally destroyed
by a thunderbolt. It was thus made reas
onably certain tbat the immunity from
lightning enjoyed by back fences Is due to
tbo cals which constantly iufost them,
and as cats aro never struck by lightning
it follows that there must bo sowethiug
peculiar in tbeir electrical condition.
I Now, every ono knows tbat a cat Is
simply full of the very best quality of
positive electricity. If she Is rubbed a
little iu the dark tbe electricity streams
from her in a shower of sparks. In this
respect she differs widely from all other
domestic animals. You may take a pig
or a horse or'a cow into tho dining-room
closet aud rub it for hours, but it will not
givo out a spark. The electricity of tlie
cat being positive, it Is of tho same quality
as the electricity of tho clouds. Electri
cians assure us that electricity of one
kind is never attracted by any obbject
charged with the same kind ot
electricity. Thus a house, In order
to bo struck by the positive electricity
of tbe clouds, must be charged
with negative electricity, and it by auy
cliancc It is full of positive electricity it is
perfectly safe. It ii tbe positive electrici
ty of tbe cat which renders tbat ablo ani
mal safe in tbe severest thunderstorm.
The positive electricity of tbo thunderbolt
slides off tbe cat as easily and safely as
rain from tbe back of a duck. The light
ning of tbo clouds may aim at a cat all
day but it cannot hit her, aud wherever
that cat may be she will protect her im
mediate neighborhood from lightning not
only as well but far better than auy light
ning rod.
Tills is the reason why back fences are
never struck by liehtuing. As a rule they
arc hardly ever free from cals. Professor
Schmidc has made a calculation showing
that every cat protects a surface, the
square root of which is equal to three
times the length of the cat, including the
tail. As an average full-grown cat meas
ures eighteen.) nebes from tip to tip, she
protects a surface of 2,016 square inches,
or a section of back fence 54 inches in
length. Thus, three cats and a small kit
ten, arranged at equal intervals from one
to auotlier, are amply sufficient to pro
tect the back fence of an ordinary city lot
from lightning, and as an average of twelve
cats to a back fence is always to be found,
wo need not wonder tbat our back fences
are safe.
If we substitute for onr lightning-rods,
which are supposed to protect our houses,
but which rarely do protect them, a quan
tity of cats, disasters from lightning will
bo unknown. This work of protecting
bouses is tbo true mission of tbe cat. The
animal at whom we aim boot-jacks and
bad language wbeu we find her perched
ou our roof is really rendering us an im
portant service for which we owe her a
heavy debt of gratitude. Since Professor
Schmidt has made tbe grand discovery of
the protective power of cats we may ex
pect to see a complete change of public
sentiment in relation to them. Our in
surance companies will insure no bouses
which are not well provided with cats. On
the roof of every house will be placed cat
kennels with constant supplies of milk
and tender mice, so as to make home at
tractive to tbe cats. Tbe aim of every
householder will be to have his roof fair
ly blossom with cats, and the more lie can
induce to reside permanently on his roof
tbe safer be will feel and the lower will
be his insurance premium. Tbe day of

A Letter from Dr. Agnew.
Burlington (N. J J Special to Philadelphia
Tim s
Through tho kindness of Dr. Joseph Par
rish, ot this city, your correspondent was
allowed to make tho following extracts
from a letter received by him on Tuesday,
September 0, from Dr. D. Hayes Agnew,
one of tho consulting physicians to the
President: “Thoro has been nothing iu
President Garfield’s case demanding any
extraordinary skill for its management,
mi l as far as I am capable of judging every
thing has been done from the day tho
wound was received until the present mo
ment which was dictated by sound surgery.”
In connection with the fact that the doctors
in attendance upon the President have
been severely criticisod, Dr. Agnew says:
“I have, my dear doctor, for a long time
not allowed myself to be disturbed by ad
verse criticism, not from a spirit of dog
matism nor from a feeling of infallibility
—I know too little to be dogmatic and that
littlo too imperfeotly to claim infallibility
—but because I have made it a rule to
learn nil I can in the line of my study and
then to apply the acquired knowledge con
scientiously. There never hns been a timo,
from the day on which the President was
shot, that I have beon very sanguine of his
recovery.”
Tlio Haniinry Condition of tbe White
House.
Beport of Col George P Waring.
I have made on examination of tho drain
age and sanitary condition of the executive
mansion, going as carefully into details as
wa3 possible nndor existing circumstances.
This examination indicates a very niuoh
less unsdfe condition than current reports
would lead ono to expect. So far as ex
posed to view the workmanship of the
plumbing within the house seem3 to be
reasonably good. Tho arrangement of the
vnrioas soil pipes and waste pipes is such
ns is nsual where the construction has been
added to from timo to time; as occasion
required and as different plumbers sug
gested. Much of it is defective; not a lit
tle of it radically so. Considered os a
whole, while they nre free from some de
fects often foand in the better class of
honses in our cities, the plumbing appli
ances of the exocntivo mansion do not con
form to what nro now accepted as the nec
essary sanitary requirements of a safe
dwelling.
How the President Looked,
Washington Special to Philadelphia Times.
His face was exposed to the open air, un
covered, and such a face, so worn and sal
low and pinched in expression. It had the
ghastly hue of tho grave. The beard is
cropped short. The festering abscess in his
neck was concealed by a thick wadding ot
cotton, which extended from the lower
part of the neck to the root of the ear. His
moustache was gone. The nose seemed
'dreadfully pinched and sharp and
hookedliKeasortof a claw. Yet with all
this it was said on evory hand that he did
not look as badly ns was anticipated. It is
difficult to say what such people anticipat
ed. Had he been in his grave clothes the
President could have scarcely looked more
like a ghastly corpse. Even his eyes were set
and glass}!. A good many took him to
have been asleep while being removed, bnt
thi3 is erroneous. Your correspondent saw
him tarn hi3 eyes twice to look at one of
his doctors near at hand and saw his lips
movo slightly, as if making some sugges
tion. It must have been a very feeble
voice, for Dr. Bliss bent his ear very close
down to catch the words.
