An Extra ImsIss of tbe Senate
It will be seen by our telegrams, on the
first page, that President Arthur, in com
pliance with the almost universally ex
pressed wish of the press of the United
States, and no doubt lu obedience to his
own judgment as to the necessities of the
case, has called the members of the United
States Senate to assemble in extra session
in the capitol at Washington City on the
10th day of October next, “to act upon
such communications as may be made to
it on the part of the executive.”
This Is wise and timely. It would be
the height of imptudence to omit so im
perative a duly as that which presses itself
upon the attention of the new President.
The country stands to-day with only a
single life between it and anarchy. There
is no President j)ro tan. of the Senate, nor
is there any Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives lo act as President under the
act of March 1, 1702, in the event of the
death or inability of President Arthur.
The United States Senate at present con
sists of 78 members, of whom 37 are Dem
ocrats and 35 are Republicans (including
Mahone), Mr. Davis, of Illinois, being
ranked as an Independent. Three va
cancies have been caused on the Republi
can side by tho resignations of Messrs.
Conkling and Platt and the death of Gen.
Burnside.
The successors of the resigned New
Tork Senators have been chosen, and the
Legislature of Rhode Island has been
called to elect a successor to Gen. Burn
side, but of coarse those gentlemen can
have no pait in the organization of the
Senate, for, as wc showed a few days
ago, new Senators are received only as
they subscribe to the oath of office, which
shall be administered by the President of
the Senate previous to tbeir taking their
scats. The surroundings are strangely
peculiar. There are no President or Sec
retary of the Senate, and no speaker of
the House of Representatives.
There will be some feeling, undoubted
ly, in the organization of the Senate. By
a strange fatality, for which they are in
no wise responsible, the Democrats find
themselves in the majority. They had
nothing to do with the murder of Presi
dent Garfield, or the resignation of Conk
ling and Platt, nor with the death of Gen
eral Burnside. But finding themselves in
power they cannot unmanly shirk the re
sponsibility that vests upon them. The
election of such a man as Senator Bayard
as President pro tan of the Senate would
be accepted by all parties as wise and
judicious, outside of those who would he
disappointed in obtaining the position
themselves. Let the question be met
fearlessly, and tbe best of results will fol
low.
Tlie President’* inaugural.
On the 22d instant, at 12 o’clock, Presi
dent Arthnr took tbe oath of office in the
Marble room of the capitol, in the pres
ence of about forty people. The oath
had already been taken in New Tork
City, but it was thought, on consultation,
that it would be more appropriate that
tbe oath be administered by Chief Justice
Waite. This was accordingly done.
After the ceremony of taking the oath
was over, President Arthur read an ad
dress, which appeared in our columns of
yesterday. The most striking feature of
the document was its vagueness, or its
non-committal character. It is true that
he says:
“AH the noble aspirations of my lament
ed predocessor, which found expression in
his life, tho measures designed and sug
gested during his brief administration:j
correct abnse3 and enforce economy, to
advance prosperity and promote the gen
eral welfare, to insure domestic security
and maintain friendly and honorable rela
tions with tho nations of the earth, will be
garnered in the hearts of the people, and it
will be my earnest endeavor to profit, and
to see that the nation shall profit by bis ex
ample and experience.”
The observer ot facts will be at a loss
to know wbat were those measures and
designs suggested by the lamented Gar
field. The fact is, there was nothing on
which history can take bold in the ad
ministration of President Garfield. This
was not his fault, because there was noth
ing to do, Congress had not convened, and
hence there was no necessity of announc
ing a policy in any department of tbe pub
lic scrvico. Tbe only thing that might be
called a policy is that course which is
only inferred from his Inaugural address
which he was to pursue toward the whole
people. It lias never been developed Into
any positive shape. The people, howev
er, accepted it, and confidently expected
an administration looking to the welfare
ot all sections.
If President A* thur means that he will
adopt measures looking to the fulfillment
of this expectancy upon the part of the
people, he will find a hearty resporse
from every true patriot, and receive the
suppou which such a course would be en
titled to. We are somewhat disappointed
at the vagueness of his expressions, but
shall withhold any adverse criticism until
he has had au opportunity to reveal his
purposes.
As we stated sometime ago, we concur
In his opinion as to the uselessness of con
vening Congress in extra session, as only
a few weeks remaiu before tho regular
session opens. The calling of the benate
together we deem Imperative, and wc
trust the President will yield to the ne
cessities of tbe cr<e, and the general de
mand of the public.

A dispatch dated London, September
2Ctb, says, at the Methodist Ecumenical
Conference to-day, before the commence
ment. of business, Rev. E. E. Jenkins, ex-
president of the Wesleyan conlerence,
moved the following resolution:
Resolved, That this conference, assem
bled on tho lost day of its session, has
learned nith the deepest gilef of the de
cease of President Garfield, nnd expresses
's profound sympathy with the American
nation, and especially with Mrs. Garfield,
in this deep anu sorrowfnl bereavement.
Mr. Jenkins reminded tbe members that
on the first day of tbe conference they
had sent across the Atlantic to the wife of
tbe late President a message expressing the
fervent hope of the speedy recovery of her
husband, and on this last day they were
going to move a message to the widow of
him whom God in His providence has
taken away. This deep sorrow would,
be felt Assured, unite more closely the
American and English nations. Rev.
Mr. Douglas, of Canada, seconded the
resolution, and alluded in feeling terms
to the loss that had been sustained. Tbe
resolution was carried amid deep silence.
The Tales! Mlaalljr.
Tbe resident physicians at Long Branch
have been put on record in a very unenvi
able light. The jealousies of the profes-
ion arc proverbial, and it would seem
that the brethren at Long Branch are no
exception to this general rule. Last year
there was a law passed by the New Jersey
Legislature making It an indictable offense
lor aiiy physician to practice in tbe county
without first filing a copy of his diploma
with the county clerk. A protest, signed
by tbe resident physicians of Long Branch:
has been made to the coroner, that the
records have been searched and it was
found that neither Drs. Bliss, Hamilton,
Agnew, or any other of the physicians in
attendance upon President Garfield, bad
complied with this statute. This was
done, of course, as a threat of prosecution,
or a desire for a part of tbe spoils, against
tbe President’s surgeons. There is to be
a big fight among tbe members of tbe
profession, and, perhaps, this is only one
step in the preparation for battle.

This important convocation of the Meth
odists of the world, composed of four hun
dred delegates, equally divided between
tbe clergy and laity, closed tbeir labors in
London, England, on the 20th instant af
ter a very profitable and pleasant session.
On the last day tba exercises closed with
tbe adoption of an address to all Method
ists, which was read by Bishop Peck, of
Syracuse, New Tork, and signed by a
representative of every Wesleyan body,
recommending tbe views favored at tbe va
rious sittings, calling upon all to co-oper
ate m tbe vfork of Christ, to maintain the
traditional Methodist means for the pro
motion of earnestness and declaring that a
call *hould go forth for a great spiritual
awakening. The meeting of tbe next
council in America in 16S7 was author

The delegates from this country will

Tlie Eriuger System.
Since the leasing of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad by this company, and
the purchase of tbe Brunswick and Al-
bruy road, Georgia is greatly interested
in tbe success of tbe system. Mr. Wolfie,
tbe agent of tbe company in this country,
gives the following to a correspondent:
“Count Erlanger, of Paris,” he said, “to
gether with his associates in London and
Frankfort, put $£5,000,000 cash in my
hands early in last June, with instruc
tions to carry out the plans for a railroad
system in the South that I had laid be
fore them. Our start was the ownership
of tbe Alabama Southern road, formerly
the Alabama and Chattanooga, extending
from Chattanooga in a southwesterly di
rection to Meridian, Mississippi,a distance
of 200 miles. This line is now in excel
lent condition and fully supplied with
rolling steck. To tbe north all we want
is the Cincinnati Southern, and I am go-
lug to Cincinnati now, feeling sure that
our bid Is tbe bigbest and best and we
will get it. At Eutaw, Ala., which
on reference to a map you will find on
the Alabama Southern, near the Missis
sippi Stato line, we are making two ex
tensions—one a distance of 175 miles in a
direct line to Memphis, which Is partly
graded now and all under contract, and
the other in a southeasterly direction to
Brunswick, Ga, the only southeastern
port not controlled by the Louisville and
Nashville Company. Between Eutaw
and Brunswick a large part of the line Is
already in operation, as we own the line,
fifty-two miles, between Eutaw and
Selma, and the Brunswick and Albany
road, eighty-five miles long. To connect
these two we have to build a lme 1C3
miles long from Selma to Albany, and tlie
work is under contract now. At Meridi
an, Miss., the terminus of the Alabama
Southern, we branch out directly west and
again in a direct line to New Orleans.
To the west we own the road from Me
ridian to Vicksburg, 145 miles, and, cross'
mg the Mississippi nver, are building and
have nearly completed the air line from
Vicksburg to Shreveport, La., connecting
at tlie latter point with the Texas
Pacific and the entire system in the ex
treme southwest. The Hue from
Meridian to New Orleans is under way
and will be pushed to completion as fast
as possible. It will be 103 miles long.
The Texas Pacific extension will be com
pleted by March 1st next, and tbe entire
system, by the terms of our rigid contracts,
within thirteen months. In itself tbe
system will be a complete one, and we
will Lave full and friendly connections
with nearly all tho roads in the South,
east of the Mississippi.
To recapitulate, the Erlanger system
will include tbe following roads:

General Bcrnsisk was devoted ’a his
beauti/al wife, who during the war sent

never seemed absent from his thoughts

A sample of water from the Ssered Well
of Mecca has been analyzed and found to
be polluted by sewage to an extraordinary
degree of disease-breeding filthiness. In
fact, Professor Frnnkland, who made the
analysis, declares that it is nothing less
than bottled cholera, and, as this wdter is
in great demand throughout Mohammedan
countries, it is manifest that it is likely to
be an active agent in the disseminatiop of
disease. _

The Greet Brotherhood.
Oar recent national calamity has devel
oped one of the most important elements
of civilized humanity. The tokeus of
sympathy and messages of condolence
which come from almost every part of tbe
babitable globe to a weeping nation and
a strlckened household demonstrate
that all tbe world Is kin. The sense of
bereftyement throbs in tbe breast of the
untutored as well as in the breast of the
cultivated European. And the grief
which fills tbe hearts of those across the
(waters is the outgush of tbe same feelings
and emotions tbat makes tbe whole race,as
one. Suitfectto the same misfortunes,
to sickness, suffering and to death, it is
but meet that we extend the sympathizing
band, and mingle our tears with
tho bereaved. These are tbe bands of
universal brotherhood. These demonstra
tions also exhibit the high esteem in
which this great republic is held by other
nationalities. It adds dignity and honor
to the American citizen, an heritage which
behooves every true man to sustain and
uphold. At the same time it increases
our responsibilities, for tho old world is
watching with intense anxiety the final
solution of tbo great problem of self-gov
ernment. Tbat we bare passed through
so great a crisis without perceptible
grating or jarring, is greatly to our credit,
and goes far to establish tbe wisdom of
our forefathers in the establishment of a
representative government. Tho tokens
ot sympathy and sorrow are tbe earnest of
that universal peaee which we trust will
spread from pole to pole.

Jean Inoelow is spoken of as one of the

What Senator Hill Saya.
Phil. Cor. N. Y. World.
Senator Ben Hill, of Georgia, who has
been undergoing in this city a painful op
eration for a fungus growth upon the
tongue, has almost recovered and will bo
ready to take his seat in the Senate when
ever it shall be called. He is still at tho
Jefferson Medical College Hospital on San
som street, and I found him in thit insti
tution this afternoon surrounded by his
family, looking as strong and well as
though nothing whatever had happened to
him. He has lost his whiskers during his
painlul illness, but otherwise he looks
much as be did when he left the Senate
last spring. If there is any difference it is
of improvement. I hardly had nn oppor
tunity to express my congratulations at his
recovery, when he said: “What’a the news?”
I recited the facts written in the latest dis
patches, when he said: “Poor Garfield 1
He was a big-hearted and a big-brained
man. I shall never forget the last time I
saw him. He was so cheorful and appar
ently happy. I never saw him fuller of
mental and physical vigor and in hope for
the faturo than then. I want always to re
member him as he appeared to mo then—a
perfect man. A great calamity has befal
len the country in his death. I can find
no words to express tbe depth of sorrow I
feel over uot only his demise but the iufu-
mous crime which caused his death. I do
hope tho country will loam a lesson from
this revolting assassination.”
“Do you anticipate any disturbance
either business or political, from General
Garfield's death?” “None whatever. I
believe General Arthur to be a much broad
er man than he has credit for being. My
association with him in tho Senate daring
the short timo wo were there gives me reas
on to believe that there may be a wise and
conservative administration from him. I
hnvo never shared in tlie opinion that the
factional bitterness within the party daring
the past few years will be renewed or pop
ularized by tbo new administration.”
“Will he not be influenced more or less by
ex-Senstor Conkling?” “I believo that
whatever influence Mr. Conkling exerts
upon General Arthur will be for tho good
of tho country. I venture the assertion
that t'pere is no man in this land who will
have a keener appreciation of the necessi
ties of ibe immediate present and future
than Mr. Conkling. I do uot desiro to
share in tho sentiment that constantly as
sails him.”
'“Who will likely succeed General Arthur
os presiding officer of the Sennto ?”
“That I cannot say, I think there is a
general indisposition to clotting a South
ern man, although I do not see why that
should be so. My judgment is that it wiU
bo either Mr. Harris or Senator Bayard.
Tho general disposition is, however, to
elect a Northern man.”
“You speak of Mr. Harris and Mr. Bay
ard as tbe only candidates. They aro both
Democrats. As the Senate is a t iu, ho w can
one or the other of them be elected without
Republican votes?”
“The Senate is not a tie for the purposes
of organization. The two Senators from
New York and the one from Rhode Island
to be appointed in General Burnside's
place cannot partipate in the olection of n
presiding officer. They cannot be sworn
in nntil a presiding officer is elected and
there is an organization. Therefore I
speak of the two men, ono of whom is
most likely to bo chosen. What might be
done after the new Senators take the oath
and the Senate is foU is another matter.
Then it will be a tie in case Dnrid Davis
continues to vote ns he did last last spring
—ho will really hold the balanoo power.”
“I understand, then, that you look fur
harmonious action at the meeting of tho
Senate, and expect no radical change hy
General Arthur in the present policy?”
“I certainly do not expect anything but
harmonious action at the meeting of the
Senate. There will be every disposition to
do whatever is done as quietly and speedily
as possible nnd to do what is for the bust
interest of the country. -1 have too muoh
faith in General Arthur’s good sense to an
ticipate that he will do anything onloulated
to arouse sectional or factional differences
within his own party, although I believe
that he wiU be beset by more perils than
any man who bag ever yet aucoeoded to the
presidency by the death of a President."

Brown’s Arjamast
Elsewhere will be found Governor
Brown’s reply to the argument of the At
torney General In this case, which covers
all tbe ground iu the controversy, and
will attract general interest and attention.
Tbe Atlanta Constitution prints, in con
nection with this matter, tbe report of tbe
joint committee wblcb bas investigated
it, and tbe resolutions submitted there
with, as follows:
Impressed with the magnitude of the
question Bubmittod, and the intricate legal
proposition involved in thu subject matter
of investigation, your committee have made
as patient, painstaking and thorough exam
ination anil inquiry into the ownership nnd
condition of tholc.ise as has been possible,
consistent with the proper discharge of
othor duties devolving upon them as mem
bers of tho General Assembly, and they
deem it not improper here to state that,
owing to said duties and the difficulty ex
perienced in procuring the attendance of
witnesses, somo of whom residb at remote
distances, it has been impossible to report
at an earlier day the testimony herewith
submitted,nnd tho findings and conclusions
of your committee thereon.
From tho ovidence, your committee
find:
1st. Tbat there bas been no violation of
so much of tho lease act as was intended
to prohibit discriminations in favor of or
against any company or persons huviug
business connections or relations with the
Western and Atlantio railroad.
2d. That in the opinion of the committee
the evidenco raises a strong presumption
that a majority of the stock in said lease is
rot bona fide owned and controlled by
Georgions.
3d. A question as to the validity of the
bond by the lessees to tbe Bute was made
and discussed in the committee on which
question they failed to agree.
But your committee have agreed upon
the following resolutions, to-wit:
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of Georgia,
that his Excellency, the Governor, be and
he is hereby requested to transmit to tho
Attorney General of the State the ewdenrj
herewith submitted, and direct him to
make's .critical examination of tbe
saute, and if in his, the said Attornoy
General’s opinion, from such examination
or such othor facts as he may be able to
obtain—he should conclude tbat a majority
of tho stock in said lease is not bona fide
owned and oontroUed by residents of the
State of Georgia, and that the same under
tho terms of tbe lease act, works a forfeit
ure of said lease, he then be instructed
to institute suitable aud necessary proceed
ings to forfeit and annul said lease, and
for tho recovery of such property in tbe
hands of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road Company as the State may bo en
titled to.
Resolved farther, That his Excellency,
the Governor, bo, and he is hereby request
ed to submit the bond given by the lessees
and all the papers and evidence connected
therewith or relative thereto to the attorney-
general, and instruot him to examino the
same thoroughly aud report to the Govern
or the result of his investigation, aud
should such report bo adverse to the valid
ity of the bond, then his Excellency, the
Governor, shall cause notice of the same to
bo given to tho president of the Western
and Atlantio Railroad Company, at tbe
same time caUing upon him to exocuto a -
new bond or perfect the present one within
sixty days from tbe date of the service of
said notice, and upon the failure of said
company to comply with said demand
w.iiin the lime specified, tbo Governor
shall direct the Attorney General to insti
tute proceedings to have said lease for
feited, and to take such other steps ns may
by him be deemed necessary to recover
such property, now in the possession of the
Western und Atlnntio Railroad Company,
os tho State shall and may bo entitled lo.

The evidence submitted fills a pamphlet
of 105 pages, and took a wide range.
Gov. Brown, Gen. McRae, Gen. Alexan
der, Mr. Wadley, Mr. O. H. Phinizy, of
Augusta, jmd Mr. Hutchins, of Gwiuuctt,
were among the witnesses before the
committee. Gov. Brown testified that—
Tbe original lessees and tho amount of
stock they held were as follows: J. E.
Brown, 1; j shares; H. L Kimball, 1)4
shares; Simon Cameron, lKabares; Thomas
Allen, J-j share; B, H. Hill, W. S. Holt, W.
R. Johnston, Charles A. Nutting, W. C.
Morrill, John T. Grunt, John S. Delnuo,
W. T. Walters, E. W.Cole, Thomas A. Scott,
George Cook, H. B. Plant, Benj. May, Eze
kiel U'uitzfelder, Wm. B. Din&moro, John
P. King and Richard Peters, 1 share each;
making in all 23 shares. Alexander Ste
phens had n half share, but ho returned it
to tho Stato and it was taken by ticorgo If.
Uazlehurst and S. K. Johnson. Governor
Brown gives a full history of tho various
transfers of tbe stock, saying that ho had
disposed of one share of his stock to IY. M.
Wadley and E. P. Alexander. Mr. O. L
Brown obtained bis two shares from Mr.
Wadley and Mr. B. F. Nowoomer. New
comer at one time held 7>£ shares, but has
transferred them all. C. H. Phinizy got
his shares from Mr. Wudley, and he trans
ferred H and }i shares to Leonard Phinizy.
J. B. Cummings and N. L. Hutchins re
ceived their shares from Newcomer.
In answer to a question as to whether a
majority of the shares are held and con
trolled by Georgians, Governor Brown
said: “I know notliing to the contrary.”
He testified tbat he had always endeavored
to prevent any discrimination in the man
agement of tho read.
General MacKne testified that thore has
not been any discrimination by tho West
ern and Atlantic railroui. The original
lessees still havo control of the road, and
the persons who have since acquired stock
stand in the light of h> Iders of bonds of
the road. They cannot even get passes
over it. He may have said tbat the road
was owned by tbe Georgia and Central, bat
did not remember when. There is a tumor
to that effect. He did not know from whom
thu recent purchasers bought their stock,
or whether they really owned it. He sup
poses that General Alexander now lives in
Louisville. About tho timo of the comple
tion of tho Cincinnati Sout'iorn, tho Lou
isville and Nashville claimed, tho right to
direct the policy of the Stato road. Their
demand as to tho scbcdnlo of the regular
trains was conceded to, and au extra train
was pat on lo connect with tho Cincinnati
Southern. The demand was conceded to,
rather because tho Louisville and Nashville
had the power to iujuro tbe State road than
because it contulloJ that road. There
were several demands mado by the Louis
ville and Nashville. Mr. Newcomb de
manded tliat General MacKne should be
removed from the road because he thought
ho favored tho Cincinnati Southern.
Gov. Brown, on boing recalled, gavo tlie
committee tho correspondence conta ning
tlie demands of tho Louisville and Nash
ville on tbe management of tho Westorn
and Atlantic railroad.
ueu. Alexander testified that tho shares
sold to C. L Brown,‘Phinizy, Cummings
anil Hutchins wore, so far as lie know, sold
in good faith. Ho said that LonisviUo is
liis home.
C. I. Brown testified that he owned two
shares in tho lease in his own right. Ho
gave Gen. Aluxauder his note for them,and
lias paid on theso notes some money aris
ing from dividends duo on the shares.
Mr. Wadley stated that ho had disposed
of several shares to varions parties, bnt
objected to naming tlie prices paid. Ho
had never tried to influence tho manage
ment of tho State road.
C. H. Phinizy testified that he paid $22,-
500 on tbe three shared held by bitn, and
for tbo ono-eiglith share paid cosh. Hu had
claimed a right to participate in the man
agement of the road, but was refused on
the ground tbat he was not au original
lessee. He had instituted suit to secure
his rights, but had reluctantly dismissed it.
Ho intend!) to resume it some day. The
shares pay the stockholders nbont $5,000 a
year.

Astonished.
Haltinor* American.
Hi had just run up to town fiom Alle
ghany county to spend a day or two with
his cousin while tbe “family” were away.
He was somewhat taller thau a bitching
post; was built in tbe ground, bad a back
like a mahogany writing-desk, limbs like
hickory saplings, and, having gotten his
trunk on a wagon to go up to Cousin
Sam’s he dropped into a Pratt street bar
room, not many miles from Marsh Market
to rinse tbe accumulation of cinders from
bis throat. He carried m his hand
small carpet-bag, and under tho other arm
he had a pet raccoon. As he called for
his drink, some of the “b’hoya” in the
saloon seemed to “pipe him oil ” for tbeir
own delectation, but he took less notice of
them than the ’coou, who regarded them
sideways from under his hair with an
almost human expresaion of contempt.
Finally, one of the boys, winking at his
delighted comrcdes r ssid:
“I say, cully, what kind of a brute is
that you’re luggiu’ around in yer fist?”
“It arn’t a hyena," replied he irnmova
bly, as he turned around with a cracker
iu his mouth, “nor it aru’t a cattymonut.”
“Well, I should remark,” chimed in
auotiier, who was a dab in politeness, “I
guess it must be one of his mouDtaiu con
stitnents. l’m told: hat the beasts up
there are better posted than the inhabi
tanls.”
“Wall, I reckon we’re both on us posted
up well enough to be able to sec through
a millstone with a hole in it. Corn’s too
plenty to swallow chaff where I hail from,”
and he commenced to finger his sleeves
belligerently.
“No offense, no oflense,” chorused the
boj j. “Don’t get your back up, old man
What’s your beast good for ?”
“Well,” answered the countryman,
somewhat mollified, “I cot him to clean
the roaches and varmints oul’n my house.
I’ve kinder made a pet of him; used him
for a while to exercise my hound pups on,
you sec, till he got most too much for’em;
he could lick the whole five on ’em an’
never change his ground. He’s an onery
creetur on a fight, but he’s gentle, you see,
long’s you don’t rile him.” And he de
posited the ’coon, which was a regular old
plantigrade, with a high bristle aud a
kuowing muzzle, on the bar and gave him
a lump of sugar.
“He’s some on a fight, you say?” asked
one of the sly ones with a twinkle of in
torrogative mirth in his eyes.
“Ya-as,” drawled the countryman,
“ho’s someth! ug on tbat order. There
ain’t many varmints he’s afeered on ~~
‘Well,’’ said tho boys, becoming inter
ested, “Jack’s got a bull terrier pup in the
cellar tbat we’ll bet a ten open on against
him.”
“Done: bring on your dawg. I guess
I’ll hev to tell ye good-bye, Yallow Fe
ver,” said the Alleghauian, as he dipped
his finger in the diegs of a whisky glass
and rubbed tbe ’coon behind the ears with
it; but there was a twinkle in his eyes
that belied his words.
The dog was brought, and all hands re
paired to the back yard. He was a good
looking pup, about is big as a piece of
cbalk and of the hen. of a keg of while
load, and an under jaw like a nail-puller,
and a kind of business like—never-Iet-go-
till-it-tbuuders—air about him. They put
him down, aud he looked up at tbe ’coon
in its master's arms, and a smile played
around hi3 expressive lip. The ’coon did
not seem at all interested in tbe proceed
ings. In fact, there was a sort of bored
and disgusted look about bis face as he
clawed a piece of sugar from a back tooth
and inspected it. Hi hadn’t lime for
such foolishness.
“This is going tobe a square deal,’’said
Alleghany, preparing to deposit bis ar.i
mat lu the pit. “No interfering business.
They’se got to fight It out, an’ If Taller
Fever gits killed I’ll bide by it.”
“Certainly, certainly,” was the echo, as
a half dozen youths dug each other in the
ribs aud roared. The idea of that “purp”
having any parleying with such a beast as
that—when he could whip any dog, cat,
ferret, or rat in Baltimore—was too much
for their risibles. It was too absurd.
Tho ’coon was put down, and tbe dog,
after being choked back for about a min
ute, until bis tongue was out, slipped his
collar and went straight in for business.
The ’coon about that time didn’t seem to
be looking even in his direction, and was
apparently very much more interested
over au old half-dead cockroach tbat was
kicking up Us legs dcspondingly on the
ground at a little distance; but when the
pup went to take hold there was a flash,
a spit, a little cloud of dust, a suit of com
mingling of rough fur and sleek hide, and
then the’coon was seen a little way off,
sitting down and complacently scratching
Us left ear. As soon as the dust cleared
away the dog was discovered reposing on
its haunches, looking around in a dazed
sort of way, as if ho had tackled a streak
of lightning by the wrong
end. He bad two pieces of
steak missing from his hannehes,
and was without any skin on his nose to
speak of. Still he was not the kind of
animal to give in,aud as soon as he caught
sight of the ’coon, who had just lit on his
old friend, the cockroach, and was In
specting him dubiously, he went for him
again. Then there was another cloud of
dust, a steam saw mill sort of sound, ac
companied by a prolonged aud suffocated
sort of snort, a glimpse of a ringed and
rigid tail protruding for an instant from
the clond, and once more tho ’coon emerg
ed aud went after his cockroach. The
view of the dog alter the second round
was anything but encouraging, and his
backors examined him with amazement
as ho-ln-ked Lite dilapidated remnant of
his right paw.
“I reckon,” said the countryman, “hlt’a
’bout as well we slopped this business;
that is, if you want any dawg left.”
“Never mind,” cried they, “ho’s all
right. Just wait till he gets the grab
hold on that varmint of yonrs; he’ll settle
him iu three minutes. The d—d brute is
so quick that the pup hasn’t got the hang
of hitu yet. She’s sorter different from
dogs or rats, you know.”
“Ya-as,” drawled tbe countryman; and
again they were pitted, and this time the
’coon thought he’d had about enoug.i of
this kind of dog-goned foolishness. He
hadn’t had time to oat that cockroach yet,
and he waltzed around over tho carcass of
that unhappy bull-pup like a buzz saw.
The dog, whose strong suit was all under
hold, couldn’t catch his grip. He might
as well have tried to catch hold of a fly
wheel. The old native spun around ou
Ills back like a coffee-mill, clawing, spit
ting, scratching and yelling as if he had
tho pup on a lathe aud was turning him
out into some new kind of shape.
“I guess that’ll about do,” said the
owner of the dog, as the ’coon at last got
offhispetand ambled off sideways after
his cockroach, which ho chewed compla
cently aud looked as innocent and good-
natured as new milk. But tho dog had
enough. He looked as if he had been
through a sausage machine, and hadn’t
enough bide tefi on him to make a whip
lash. Ho looked around for the
’coou aud would evidently have
taken another round, but his owuer
took liim in, saying: “You can take the
stakes, cully. Your beast has earned
them. I’ve heard of ’coons, but this is
the first ono I ever saw that was a busi
ness. I’ll give you $25 for him.” But
tbe couutrymau gathered up his varmiut,
shook his head sadly and passed out of
the door with the remark: “I can make
more money Ilian $25 a day with the ’coon
off just such suckeis as you are.”

Dispatches received in tho city last sight
from Savannah state that the labor troubles
were renewed, last evening about 7 o’clock,
by the strikers getting in boats and thus
flanking the workmen by water, attacking
them with bricks, sticks, etc. The military
were again ordered out, and at this writing
intense excitement reigns. It seems to
us that a good broadside from the Chatham
Artillery would effectually put a quietus to

Photograph of tho Late Kiducy Lanier
Harper’s Weekly of September 2Uh, con
tains a most admirable picture of tho late
Sidney Lanier, photographed by J. S.
Cummings. It is a speaking likeness,and
shows him in his best days of hoalth. The
noble head, high forehead, firm yet gentle
eye, heavy dark whiskers and cultured
face is presented with striking effect.
The Weekly contains a very flattering
notice of the dead poet, musician aud lec
turer, which states in the beginning that,
by tho death of Sidney Lanier, tho country
has lost a man of real genius, whose work,
excellent &3 it was, gave promise of greater
performances in the future.
“He was bom at Macon,Georgia, in 1842,
and was the sou of a leading lawyer of that
city. His health was never robust and l<<s
work was always accomplished under the
disadvantages of physical weakness. *
He was well known and esf seined in
New York, and counted among his inti
mate friends most of the literary men of
tills city.”

Ed Irvine’s enterprises aro certainly on a

In addition to the elegant manner in whioh

Second street establishments this week
wiU see a most mart slous change. Elegant
fixtures havo been added, and new goods
arranged in a most tasteful manner. The
rnusio department, we are glad to note, is
being greatly encouraged by our citizens,
which shows that Mr. Irvine’s endeavors to
establish a music business are appreciated
by our community, and, under Professor
Guttenberger’s excellent management, is
all that could be wished by our music lov
ing people. Commencing business four
years ago without any capital whatever, by
indomitable energy and close attention to
his affairs, Mr. Irvine has established a
business which not only commands trade
throughout ours but adjoining States. Ir
vine’s, as heretofore, will be the popular
resort of the ladies, whose presence, Ed
says, gives pleasure even if it don’t give
money.

tressing case of dy-Bpcpsia lever

any distressed feeling after eating.

“My wife, as I supposed, was a confirmed
dyspeptic. Some three years ago, by tho
advice of Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, she was
induced to try Simmons Lifbr Regulator.
At the time Bbe weighed eighty-fivo pounds
By the use of that valuable remedy she has
been entirely restored to hoalth, and now
weighs one hundred and twenty- fivo pounds.
I feel grateful for the relief it has given
her; and may all who read this and are af
flicted in any way, whether chronic or oth
erwise, use Simmons Liver Regulator, and
I feel confident health will bo restored to
all who will be advised.
