Whmt Our dUim Tbtak *r the New
Bride*.
The announcement yesterday, backed by
m official advertisement for specifications,
created qnite a ripple of interest,
and the matter formed the topio of many
curb*tone and indoor chattings. With a
view to feeling the pnblio pulse and ascer
taining so far as possible how it would af
fect the East Maoon residents convenient
to the present bridge, and also
whether it would enhanoe or de
preciate property on Second street
near the proposed location our reporter
buttonholed several citiaens interested
each way, and gives the result to our read*
ers.
A prominent merchant in East Macon
said that he was wholly opposed to the
building of the new bridge, for the reason
that there existed no real necessity for it.
Aside from his being injured by the turn
ing of the tide of travel, he thought the
county’s money could be expended in a
manner more beneficial to the people.
The only persons to be benefited by the
new bridge would be the Jones and
Jasper county people, and oven
then the benefit would not be
much, as the present crossing was but
little out of the way. He claimed that the
property on this side ot the river would
rapidly depreciate, for the reason that in
all cities where there was a bridge, that
portion of the street next to the bridge was
a low locality, invariably called Bridge
Row. Ho predicted that Messrs. Wood,
Powell, Ingalls and others who have beau
tiful homes in that locality now, will be
willing to sell their home* for next to
nothieg before the bridge has been
in use a year. He claims
that the present business portion of East
Macon will become a howling waste, and
property get so low that it oould not be sold
for county hospital grounds.
On the other band, a solid oitizen of the
west sido says it is on* of the best things
the county commissioners have ever done.
The bridge is needed, will make East Ma
con desirable for residences, and as the
city is bound to grow, we need
ground on which to build cottages
for the bone and sinew that the
new railroad and other enterprises are
bound to bring, and this bridge will put
them in easy acoeee of the shops. He says
so far as the property near the bridge de
preciating it is all bosh. The fine houses
already built at the foot ot Second street
will forever restrain every effort to make a
new Bridge Bow, and as such will prove an
exception to the general rule. The hilly
condition of that portion of East Maoon
accessible to and lying around the bridge,
together with the innumerable pine trees
covering it, is the healthiest part of Bibb
county, free from the miasmatic tendencies
of the lower part of this side of the river,
which is, as wo all know, bniltnpon a
swamp. He regards the building of anew
bridge as a'blessing as well as a boom.
We have here given both sides of the
question. That its erection will prove a
benefit, can hardly be denied. It may de
crease the business of the stores now in
East Macon, bnt they can follow the ad
vice of a friend at our elbow, who says
they can pick np their traps and drive
stakes at the end of the new bridge.
At any rate, the announcement yester
day was greeted with many genuine hur
rahs.

NEW NOME STOCK JHAUBET.
fBy Telegraph.!
New York, October 6.—The stock
market was wesk at the opening, and
prices were generally lower, Nashville
and Chattanooga being 2, Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy 1$, and Cleveland,
Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis
1 per cent, off from yesterday’s closing
figures. Speculation immediately took a
downward course. Daring tbe remainder
of the day, except at rare intervals, when
slight recoveries took place, the ten
dency was in the direction of lower
prices. The pressure to sell was very
pronounced, and was mainly due to the
stringency in money. Tbe lowest figures
were touched before the close,when the de
cline, as compared with last night’s quo
tations, ranged from | to 4J per cent., tbe
latter in Houston and Texas. The other
shares prominent in the depression
were Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati,
and Indianapolis, Reading, Western Un
ion, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
-Louisville and Nashville, and New Jersey
Central. In tbe final sales Houston ana
Texas rallied 1} per cent., and some few
-other stocks recovered a fraction, but tbe
-market closed generally heavy. Tbe
'-"tal sales aggregated 524,702 shares.

Atlanta, October 5.—The Cotton
Exposition was opened to-day, and tbe
full programme was earned out, thous
ands ot people being present. Every
thing is most favorable, and the Exposi
tion starts under very auspicious circum
stances.
Atlanta, October 5.—The opening of
tbe International Cotton Exposition evok
ed a degree of interest and enthusiasm
that promises tbe beat results. The crowd
in attendance was very large. Tbe pavil
ion was completely filled, as well as the
seats and standing room in front of the
speaker’s stand.
The Fifth United States Artillery and
the Gate City Guard were drawn up in
front of the etand, contrasting well with
the beauty and elegance that filled the
pavilion in the background.
On the speakers’ stand were Director-
General Kimball, Gov. Colquitt, Bishop
Elliot, of Texas, ex-Govcmor Vance, of
North Carolina, Hon. Daniel Voorhees,
of Indiana, aud Hon. N. J. Hammond, of
Atlanta.
The assemblage was called to order by
Gov. Colquitt, and prayer followed by
Right Rev. Robert W.B. Elliot, of Texas,
in which he invoked the blessing of
Heaven on the exposition and its results,
and prayed that the death ot President
Garfield might have a good effect in draw
ing tbe people of tbe whole country
closer together in their day of affliction
and sorrow.
Then followed the presentation of the
buildings and grounds by Director Gen
eral Kimball. Governor Colqult, in ac
cepting the tender of the buildings and
grounds, said be doubled whether the
energy bestowed on the work had ever
been excelled. It looked more like en
chantment than the application of hard
work. The shareholders were more than
satisfied with what had been accom
plished.
An address of welcome by Hon.ZebuIon
B. Vance, of North Carolina, followed
The speaker forcibly depicted the value
of cotton as a commercial staple, and its
agency in lifting tbe South from its im
poverished coudition, and realizing the
dreams of Ponce De Leon and his men in
their adventures tbrongh this land in quest
of the fountain of recuperation aud
riches. He concluded by saying that the
members of the exposition association
extended to every human soul that can
add to the triumph of peace a welcome to
the courtesies of tbe people of tbeS^uth
and the hospitalities of the most enterpris
ir.g city of the South. “We stand,”
said he,“in the shadow of a great calamity.
The death of President Garfield has affect
ed no portion of the country more deeply
than the South. It has aroused among us
every sentiment of chivalry and loyalty.
Let us all see that the reunion caused by
his death may never perish from among
us.”
MswTsrk City Polities
New Tore, October 5.—Judge Blatch-
ford to-day, in the United States Court,
gave a decision on the motion argued be
fore him a few days ago touching the ap
pointment of Democratic supervisors of
election, the Irving Hall organization and
the county Democracy both claiming they
were entitled to the appointment of such
supervisors. The court decided in favor
of the county Democracy.
OH Train Burned
Pobt Jakvis, N. Y., October 5.—An
oil train numbering fifty cars on the Erie
railroad took fire to-day at the Delaware
river bridge near Port Jarvis, New York.
Thirty-five cars were cut loose and saved.
The remaining fitteen burned so furiously
that it was impassible to approach. The
tanks exploded from time to time and
portions ot tbe boiler iron of which they
are constructed were blown across the
Delaware river. The bridge over the
Delaware river will probably be saved,
but the track for several hundred yards
will be destroyed. The danger of ap
proach is so great that notbiug can be
done but let the fire exhaust itself,
whichlwill be late to-night. The tele
graph wires beside the road melted down.
The traffic on tbe road will be interrupted
until to-morrow.
Bevenne Stamp*

sent to four hundred and eighty-nine per
sons in all parts of the country.
WasblsKtoa Mews.
Washington, October 6.—Senator
county, first district; Oneida county, first,
second and third districts.
When Speaker Sharpe proposed Hon.
Frank Hiscock for temporary chairman,
his speech was coldly received. Mr. His-
cock, with considerable warmth, declined.
Theodore M. Pomeroy, of Cayuga, then
proposed that as Mr. Hiscock’s name had
teen proposed against his wishes, Senator
Warner Miller be moved as temporary
chairman. On this, amid great cheering,
the ayes and noes were ordered.
The total vote for temporary chair
man was 438—208 votea being cast for
Warner Miller, 100 votes for Hiscock—
Miller’s majority being 108. This an
nouncement was received with long ap
plause.
Senator Miller was introduced to the
oonvention as Its temporary chairman, by
ex-Senator Piatt. He said, on taking the
chair, that the delegates met to-day as a
baud of mourners, and proceeded to eulo
gize the late President Garfield. Whilst we
mourn his untimely taking off, we should
bring a united and harmonious support to
him who lias succeeded our late illustrious
chief. Senator Madden here proposed
three cheers for President Arthur, which
were given. The convention adjourned
until 7:30.

nection with the examination of the au-
topsical lesions, the conclusion seems in
evitable that tbe case was one which,com
mencing as a milder form of septicsema,
gradually developed into the graver me
tastatic variety, wbicb is generally un
derstood as chronic pyaemia.”
Dr. T. D. Weisse, professor of surgical
anatomy in tbe University of New York,
closes his review with tbe statement that
there were sufficient grounds to warrant
the diagnoses that were arrived and
maintained up to the time of the deatli ot
the patient, especially so in the absence
of any evidence that the ball bad taken a
diffeient coarse.

There was a large throng of delegates to

number of its members managed to press
their way in. Chairman Piatt conducted
the proceedings. Upon motion of Gen.
Sharpe, Frank Hiscock, of Syracuse, was

ng seems to prevail among the delegates.

The Academy of Mutie was crowded, del
egates from all parts of the State being
present.

Garfield, who ho said belonged to the 1 ' ‘ * "
whole people, and whose death binds
them In Close fellowship. At the con
clusion of liis remarks he was called by
the convention to act as temporary chair
man. The usual committees were ap
pointed, and Jarvis N. Dunham, of
Springfield, was elected permanent chair
man, and the organization ot the conven
tion otherwise completed. Reuben Noble
nominated Hon. C. P. Thompson, of
Gloucester, for governor, which was car
ried by acclamation. Col. French said
Alpha E. Thompson had withdrawn as a
candidate for lieutenant governor, and in
his place ho nominated S. K. Carleton, ot
Haverhill. Mr. Carleton was then nomi
nated for lieutenant governor with few
dissenting voices. A committee was ap
pointed ts nominate the balance of the
State ticket, and the convention then took
a recess for an hour.
The committee on nominations reported
for secretary of State, Gen. Michael T.
Donohue, of Summerville; for treasurer
and receiver-general, Col. Francis J. Par
ker, of Newton, and Chas. B. Field, of

report was accepted and unanimously
adopted.
On the assembling at 8:30 the commit
tee on credentials presented their report,
which was adopted. Chauncey M. De
pew was made permanent chairman.
The committee on resolutions reported
a platform in which, after avowing the
constant faith of the party in tbe expe
diency and right of democracy in govern
ment, as expounded by its great teachor,
and declaring the Union indestructible
save by successful revolution or common
consent, asserts that tbejeonservative prin
ciples of the Democracy are demanded at
tbe present time to resist the insidious en
croachment of aristocratic tendencies, and
the efforts of organized avarice and ambi
tion.
The resolutions also denounce the ex
travagance and corruption of past Repub
lican administrations; favor a bold revis
ion of the tariff laws—declaring that too
much revenue is raised; admit the evils
of intemperance, but deprecate prohibi
tion as futile; advocate tbe abolition of
the poll tax, and pay a high tribute to the
late President.

Bliss’ Last Wards.
New York, October 5.—The report of
tbe case of President Garfield by Dr.
Bliss, published in the forthcoming num
ber of the Medical Record, occupies over
six pages of that journal. He concludes
bis history of the case as follows:
“I desire to say in s brief review of the
leading facts as to tbe general conduct of
the case that it has been apparent to tbe
medical reader that my prognosis was
favorable, aud, notwithstanding tbe mu
tations, I augured a successful termina
tion. It ia but justice to myself to state
that my prognosis was on a lesion
of minor importance. Had our diagnosis
been correct, modern surgery should have
conducted tbe c*se to a successful termi
nation. I believe the medical profession,
whom I address,will bear me out that tbe
prognosis was correct if the diagnosis had
been also correct. I was not able during
the progress of the ease tp account for
many of tbe more profound symptoms,
and yet I could not succeed in learning of
any more extensive or complicated lesions
tbas were first suspected. He makes
inquiry of the profession wheth
er a more extensive exploration could
have been safely made, or wbteber, con
sidering the want of knowledge of the rel
ative position of the patient and the assas
sin, the character ot tbe missile and the
condition of the lesion, and tbe symp
toms which followed, such exploration
would have directed tbe investigation to
ward the actual track and lodgment of
the ball; and if so, whether any known
instrument or means of exploration has
ever been presented to the profession cap
able of tracing, before tbe death of tbe
patient, tbe course of this bullet. Also,
whether tbe conditions could have been
improved or mi’fgated, or bis life pre
served longer by any other line of treat
ment.
Dr. G. F. Shrody, surgeon to the Pres
byterian and St. Francis Hospitals in this
city, says, in an article on the case: “From
a careful study of the symptoms in con-
at five years in the penitentiary. A sim
ilar punishment was allotted to him for
bigamy, he having pleaded guilty to this
charge, making his full term iu prison ten
year.
Previous to sentence being pronounced
in the latter case, In response to the usual
question asked whether he had anything
to say, Marvin rose and made a lengthy
harangue, full of invective and denuncia
tion of those charged with his custody
here aud witnesses in attendance from the
North. His remark* displayed so much
vindictiveness and venom toward tbe city
officials and witnesses, that when he
concluded his counsel addressed the
court in deprecation of liis client’s lan
guage. He said ho k had found this old
man (Marvin) in jail without money and
without friends, and lie told him he would
defend him to the last extremity. Not
one dollar bad been given him by the
prisoner. He had advised Marvin to
plead guilty, as ho thought it was tbe
best course he could pursue.
Page said that he had had the fullest in
tercourse with Maiv’n s nso tbe la tir had
been bis client, and that person bad not
been deprived of a single right that any
man might have, lb* felt that it was a
poor return that the prisoner had made
him in denouncing some of his (Page’s)
friends. He had befriended tbe accused
without any regard to what he was, and
liad done all lie could for him. Page then
left Marvin’s side.
Judge Uirdsall, or New York, one of
the witnesses for tbe prosecution, spoke
indignantly of Marvin’s language. He
(Birdsall) had done all he could to amel
iorate the condition of the prisouer, aud
it was owing to his efforts that the case
had taken this course. He now felt that
lie bad dono injustice to himself and to
tbe commonwealth of Virginia in taking
this position and lessening tbe punishment
ofthe prisoner.
In delivering ths sentence, the judge
said that it would be unbecoming to re
spond to any of tbe statements that had
been made by the prisoner. The prison
er, he said, after confessing such crimes
as he had confessed, could not expect any
credence to be given to bis statements
without having them fully corroborated.
Marvin made an effort to again ad
dress the court, but the judge sternly
commanded him to take bis seat. Mar
vin was taken out to the penitentiary late
this afternoon and is now clothed in the
convict’s garb and is occupying a convict’s
cell.

ably will bo to-morrow. It was agreed

Washington, October 6.—Messrs.
Winstead & Tuck, of Greenville, South
Csroliua, recently indicted for defrauding
the revenue, appealed to Commissioner
Raum through au attorney, a few days
since,fora compromise. The Commis
sioner informed tbe attorney that if his
clients would pay the United States gov
ernment $8,000 and costs, and plead
guilty, he (the Commissioner) would rec
ommend a suspension of their sentence.
This proposition was unsatisfactory, and
consequently declined. Since then the
persons indicted have forfeited their bails
and escaped to parts unknown. Commis
sioner Itaum to-day offered a reward of
$250 each for their arrest.

The Grandest Railway lie he ins at All
The Railway World, of the 1st inst., in
an article on tbe new Southern railway
systems, says: {.
“The controlling spirits of the Chesa
peake and Ohio are credited by a number
of our contemporaries with the ambitious
design of forming a direct connection with
the Southern Pacific, and practically in
suring a continuous line between the At
lantic and Facific oceans, with a port in
Virginia, which is presumably Newport
News, as the eastern terminus, and San
Francisco as the western terminus. It is
said that largo expenditure* are now be
ing made at Newport News for the pur
pose of creating there extensive terminal
facilities for the Chesapeake and Ohio
system. In addition to the railroad con
struction now progressing a wharf700 feet
long and 132 feet wide is nearly finished,
which Is to be covered with a warehouse,
wailing rooms and ticket offices, and it is
reported that a grain elevator, with a ca
pacity of 1,500,000 bushels, is soon to be
commenced. Other important Improve
ments, including the establishment of ex
tensive industrial works, are contempla
ted, and as the entire available water
front and nearly all the land In and near
Newport News are owned by the Old
Dominion Land Company, organized by
Mr. Huntington, it is supposed that the
promoters of this scheme have a very deep
interest in tbe welfare of their eastern
terminus.
“The Chesapeake and Ohio will very
soon be completed from Rlcbmonct o
Yorktown, which it was supposed at one
time would be the permanent eastern ter
minus, hut it now seems to be definitely
understood that Newport News has been
selected for that purpose, partly on ac
count of the excellent water front in that
vicinity, and partly, perhaps, on account
of tbe ease with which large purchases of
land were effected in that region. Ru
mors are frequently published in regard
to tbe western and northwestern exten
sions of the Chesapiake and Ohio, and
recent settlements indicate that impor
tant connection in Ohio have been or
will be secured. Extensions are progress
ing also in Kentucky, by which it is re
ported that au outlet to Memphis will
soon be obtained, aud it is said that, by
other lines leading through Arkansas and
Texas, a connection " with the
Southern Pacific will finally be effected.
As Mr. Huntington, the feeding spirit of
tbe Chesapeake end Ohio, is very closaly
identified with tbe Southern Pacific and
Central Pacific systems and with the line*
which these companies have projected to
Mexico,; it is asserted that this entire sys-
tem or alliance between tbe Chesapeake
and Ohio and tbe Southern end Central
Pacific will eventually embrace, Inde
pendent of any connections that may be
formed in the Western or Northwestern
States, lines with an aggregate length of
6,717 miles, subdivided as follows: New-
„— —„ port News to Memphis, 1,250; Memphis to

Hartford Time* Letter.
New York never knew such * time as
the present for putting up enormous build
ing* at a tremendous oust. The number
of buildings was greater in some other
year*,’but a single building now may cost
as -much as a dozen twenty years ago.
Four or five stories was then high; now
we are not surprised at nine or ten sto
ries. Mention may be made here of a
few of the larger new buildings. Mr.
Clark, ot tbe Singer Sewing Machine
Company, on tbe weal sido of Central
Park, au apartment bouse for fifty fami
lies, at a cost of $1,500,000. Tbe
Navarro apartment bouses on Fifty-
ninth street, facing the perk,
will be tbe most elaborate build
ings of their kind yet put up, and will
probably o<st about $2,000,000. In the
same neighborhood is tbe Windermere
apartment building, now nearly finished,
aud costing $360,000. The Hamilton,
also an apartment building, on Third av
enue, and on part of the ground once
known as Hamilton square, represents an
outlay of $340,000. Several other large
flats are going up at a cost of $100,000 to
$200,000. It is not necessary to speak
agaiu of the Yanderbullt buildings, which
have been described several tihlCs. Iu
the same neighborhood wish them work
has already been begun tor an apartment
boose, to be called Kemp’s Hotel, and
which will cost $250,000. Ogden Goelet’s
new mansion, on the avenue, is nearly
finished. Its cost will be about $400,000.
Halt a dozen other stylish residences, va
rying in cost from $100,000 to $300,000,
are going up between the Windsor Hotel
and tbe Lenox Library. The costliest of
the new structures down town will be the
Mill* .building, on Broad street, which
will represent at least $3,000,000. The
new produce exchange at Bowling Green
will coet altogether about $2,000,000. Near
by a Boston man is putting up au office
building on which the outlay, not count
ing the coet ofthe laud, will be $500,000.
Cyrus W. Field intends to invest about tbe
same amount in bis new building on the
site of the Washington Hotel. Eugene
Kelly’s building on Beekman street, just
back of tbe new quarters which Jay Gould
is putting up for tbe World, will not be
finished lor less than $750,000. A new
building that Orlando B. Bolton is putting
up at Astor place and Broadway will cost
$250,000. It is calculated that the total
coet of new buildings this year, between
the Battery and Harlem river, will be
about $35,000,000.
The enormous height to which build
ings are now carried was not dreamed of
twenty years ago. When tbe present
Herald building was put up, on tbe site of
Barn urn’s museum, it could be seen plain
ly from the ferryboats, and even from the
bay. Now it cannot be seen in Its own
neighborhood, except from the front. The
poet-offica building, tlie Western Union
building, tbe Evening Pott building, the
Tribune building, now make it foot hill
beside mountains. Most ofthe new build-
logs are to be from seven to ten stories
high. A ninth or tenth story Is more
available now for office purposes than
fourth story was before elevators
came into use. The same is true of
the apartment houses eud hotels. Tbe
increased height makes a great increase
In the cost of buildings, as the walls must
be thicker and all parts much stronger,
but all buildings put upon the new plan
are found to pay. The upper parts rent
nearly as well as tbe lower, and in some
case* they are preferred, on account of
tho fieedom from noise and dust. As
ground to build on coots a great deal
and air to build in coits nothing, tbe
temptation to run up as high as possible
is very strong. The next improvement
will probably be gardens on the rools 150
to 160 feet above the street.. Something
of this sort has been proposed several
times, and no doubt will yet T»e adopted.

One of the old time editors of Michi
gan was boasting that be had never been
sued for libel;or attacked in-his sanctum,
but he could recall many narrow escapes.
About twenty-five years ago be was run
ning a redrhot paper on tbe line of the
Michigan Central railroad. A man named
Carson, who was running for some county
office, was given a bad racket, and the
editor received a note that if he had any
thing more to say he might expect to re
ceive a good pounding. He had a still
more bitter attack the next week, and the
paper was hardly mailed before in walked
Canon, the candidate, accompanied by a
brother and two cousins. The four were
strapping big follows, and each was arm
ed with a horae-wh’p. The two composi
tors and the “devil” got'out with all
speed, leaving the editor without support.
He realized the situation at once, and
began:
“Walk in, gentlemen; I presume you
hare come to horse whip me ?”
“We have,” they answered.
“Very well. Hare you thoroughly con
sidered this matter?”
“It doesn’t need any consideration,” re
plied Canon. “You have lied about me,
and I’m going to lick you within an inch
of your life P’
“Just so, my friend; bnt first hear what
have to say. Did you ever bear of the
press being stopped because the editor
was cowhided?”' «nn m
“I duuno.”
“Well, you never didi Lick me all you
choose and my paper comes out week af
ter week just the mme. The power of the
press is next to the lever which moves tbe
universe. It makes or breaks parties,
builds up or lean down, plants or de
stroys. Aggravate the editor and the
] treat become* a sword to wound or kill.
iVollop me if you will, but next week I’ll
come out more bitter than ever.”
Thar* was an embairaaslng silence
gift here, and the face of each borso
whlpper had an anxious look.
“It will go out to tbe world—to Amer
ica, Canada, England, France, ay, clear
to Jerusalem—that the Canon family of
this aeuaty live on roots and johnny cake;
that they stole a dog from a blind man;
that they murdered a peddler for a pair of

their ears when they sing; that the—”

“Put us four down.”
“Very well—tlx dollars—that’s correct.

of you want to see any of my Detroit ex

you.”

Mr. Crow sprang to his feet in a fine
rage. He pulled down his vest, and sling
ing hie stovepipe hat on the side of his
bead, said:
“In dat ease, sab, our future relations

“But lemma talk, Mr. Crow; I was go-

“O, go hire a ball and invite yer friends

The Chicago Times' correspondent tele
graph* that journal from Washington under
date of September 23d, as follows: “Cer
tain revelations mid) to-day to tbe Timet
correspondent by an unquestioned author
ity, of the inner history of the post-mortem
examination of the body of Geo. Garfield,
will create a shock throughout.the coun
try second only to tbe assassination of
July 2. These revelations show that the
President might have lived; at least they
show that 'Be report of tbe autopsy is
false, and that, had it not been for Secre
tary MacVeagb, even a portion of the re
luctant truth placed in the report would
have been suppressed. What will the pub
lic think when it learns that Gen. Gar
field did not. die from any result of the
wound made by the bullet, but fh>m
cause that probably oould have been rem
edied in tbe early days of the case ? Tbe
original track of the wound had fairly
healed, and the ball itself had become
completely encysted. If it had not been
for tbe blood poisoning, the President
would have been a well man to-day. The
blood poisoning proceeded from imperfect
drainage ofthe wound the second day.
A clot of blood that might have been
taken out with an aspirator was tbe cause
of the blood poisoning and the huge ab
scess upon toe kidney. The spine was
reported as injured in the autopsy, so that
this would appear to be a mortal hurt,
but it is said upon high authority that tbe
post mortem revealed nothing of this
kind. The spinal column was not harm
ed, and if there was a slight injury of the
vertebra it would not in itself have been
serious. After the funeral is over, Gen.
Swaim, an educated physician, and Dr.
Boynton will reveal the inner secrets of
tlie post mortem- One of the most start
ling features of tbe exposure will be the
history of the search for the ball. One
hour was passed in cutting tor it. Then
the bowels were removed and placed loose
in a wash-bowl. Another hour was spent,
and then some one looked in tbe contents
of tbe wash-bowl and discovered the en
cysted ball among the intestines. Yet tbe
autopsy locates this ball in the muscles of
the back. Gen. Swaim has been so in
dignant over tbe report of the autopsy
that nothing will prevent him from telling
tbe true story to tbe public after Genera!

A mean trick was played on an Austin
darkey, Mr. James Crew, not long since.
He had been paying attention to one of
Uncle Nace’s daughters, it being generally
understood, that she was to get, on her
marriage, a bouse and lot, which Uncle
Nace has reserved. Uncle Nace is a sly
Iks Orators at Un Senate.
The Senate is soon to meet again, and
tbe expected presence of the Solous here
inspires us to say that there are very few
men in either House ot Congress who
speak upon any important measure with
out having made tbe most elaborate prep
aration. Tbe library is ransacked for
books, old newspaper files are brought
from their nooks, and cords of paper are
used in taking notes. These notes are
filled oat, pat la order, and then you bavo
a set speech.
David Davis, perhaps, more than any
other Senator, indulges in manuscript,
preparing even a five-minute speech with
great care. This is his inflexible rule,
and has been since be entered public life.
After be deliver* his speeches, or rather
after he reads them, he hands bis manu
script to Mr. Murphy, the Senate stenog
rapher, who sends it to the government
1 printing office. The compositors never
lave any anathemas for tlie Judge’s writ
ing, which is large, distinct, and full of
character.
Edmunds never uses notes, and onoe a
speech i* out of his mouth he doesn’t
bother his head about it. During all tho
years be baa been In tbe Senate, be has
not revised a single speech. He turns
everything in his mind before hand, and
never rises to address tbe Senate without
having weighed in the scales of bis great
mind what be intends saying.
Ben Hill will speak for three hours
without a scrap of paper. The only prep
aration be makes is marking references
and passages in this book or that. I have
seen him time and again thunder away
for two hours without stopping even for a
;lass of water. He revises his speeches,
towever; makes additions and corrections
in a clear hand, much like that of a col
lege boy, and gives the printers little
trouble with hi* proof. Hill has an as
tound ing memory, and no man in public
life, except Edmunds, hat such impertur
bability. Tbe only man who could well
worry Hill or excite hi* wrath in debate
was tbe late Matt Carpenter. How it
tickled Carpenter to put some adroit ques
tion at tbe Georgian and get him con
fused !—a hard thing to do at say time,
but Carpenter often succeeded. And it
was more the result of an irresistible pro
pensity for fun than anything else, for
never waa man who bad less malice than
Matt Carpenter.
He had a heart aa big as a mountain.
Ha was exceedingly particular about his
speeches when they were upon legal
questions. After he got the proof from
the foreman of tbe Record be would bads
it to pieces, send the corrected proof back,
;et a second and treat it In like manner,
iis writing was characteristic, hard to
read—a rollicking, harum-scarum sort of
fiat—and a study to the printers. He
used to say, “The shortest road is the
beet road when you’re in a hurry;” and
though he could write a fine, full, round
hand, be dashed off everything at light
ning speed.
Another Senator who, like Edmunds,
never revised a speech, was Thurman.
Occasionally ha spoke from manuscript,
bat the stenographer took down every
word be said, as the old gentleman would
foiget hi* manuscript and drift into ex
temporary eloquence. Tnurman, though
never a graceful speaker, was always
forcible. He was, beyond all doubt, the
ablest of tbe Democrats, and their leader
from tbe time he entered the Senate.
Bayard works bard at bis speeches, and
though he writes them out and follows
his manuscript closely, be rerieee after
E roof is taken. He makes few changes,
owever, but bolds the proof very often
until two o’clock in tbe morning, as he
spends bis evenings generally in social
draies. He is a good penman, writing a
medium-sized running hand.
Lamar is a great reviser, cuts proof into
tatters, writes a horrible hand, and tries
old coon, and determined to test the gen
uineness of his futon son-in-law’s aflfec- ) the soul of a printer. Occasionally be
tlons. So the other night, as they were goes down to the government printing
smoking their pipes, he said: j office to look after bis speeches, which,
“Mr. Crow, I has been coginatin ober when published, are vastly different from
matters and things, and I has come to de the stenographer’s report of them.
Senator Ooifkling seldom made a cor
rection of his utterances in the Senate
Chamber. He Is perhaps the best ex
temporaneous speaker in the United
States, and even his remarks In running
debate are splendid indices of great abili
ty. During the extra session ot the
Forty-sixth Congress be delivered a speech
upon tbe army appropriation bill without
note, papers, book, or reference of any
kind. When the Vice-President an
nounced “the Senator from New York,”
up rose tbe stately form of Roscoe Cook-
ling. Never before or since had Senator
such an audience. He spoke for four
hours. Before tbe adjournment of the
Senate 150,000 copies of bis speech
had been subscribed for. Every
printing establishment in Washington
sent to the Senator its lowest estimate in
a very abort time, Oyster, one of the host
living typos, and foreman ofthe Congres
sional Record, had the proof of the great
speech ready. He took it up to Worm-
ley’s about nine o’clock in the morning
and asked for Senator Conkling. “He ia
not up yet,” said the private secretary,
“the Senator breakfasts about 11; how
ever, as you are in a burry and want to
see after tbe speech, I’ll call him.” “Tell
Mr. Oyster to come in—ah! how do you
do, Mr. Oyster?” and Lord Chesterfield
never was more polite than was Conkling
in his nightshirt. After rubbing his eyes,
he looked at tbe proof, made a fear
changes, and struck out the “Hon.” before
“Roscoe Conkline.” You wiji never
find it prefixed to hit qame In any speech
inteudsd for general distribution. After
he received the speech Le wrote his thanks
very kindly, to Foreman Oyster, as fol
lows:

Ot all tbe Senators Conkling writes tbe
beet band-large, easy, graceful, and legi
ble- His signature, however, would be a
study to any one not acquainted with it.
Tbe present Secretary of State, when a
member of the Senate, used to look care
fully after bis speeches, which, for the
most part, were made from “headings.”
Probably there never was in the United
States Senate a man who needed less
preparation than James G. Blaine. He
is infallible In history and impregnable in
debate. Hie memory of facts and faces
is absolutely wonderful. He can begin
with William tbe Conqneror and give you
the name of every sovereign of England
down to Victoria, with the dates ol their
reigns. Now and then the Senator would
give his personal attention to the printing
of a speech. One morning Oyster fonna
him busily at work “cutting up copy” for
tbe printers. “Hello, Oyster. I’m ahead
of you. See, I’m dividing copy.” “Yea,
Senator, I see you’re ahead of me; but I
went borne only aix hours ago, and shall
be here for aixteea consecutive hours.”
“Well, I know it’s hard work, Oyster.
I’ve been at it, and know what night
work means.”
Voorhees prepares bis speeches care
fully and revise* moderately. He is one
of the few, very few, meu who use manu
script in sucha way that not a single ora
torical grace is diminis thereby.
Whether this is because be commits his
speech well to memory or not we never
could tell. We rather think he doe*. But,
with or without manuscript, Yoorkees ia
an orator of tho first school. Aa a rule,
tha very sight of manuscript in the hands
of a speaker is enough to nerve one for a
bore. Demosthenes was right when he
Mid: “Oratory is delivery—delivery—de
livery;” and delivery Is killed by menu-
script.
Jones, of Florida, always a hard stu
dent, labors diligently at a set speech. He
I* passionately fond of Edmund Burke,
and knows his works as we never knew
any other to know them. He has a mem
ory equal to Blaine’s or Ben Hill’s, and -
time and again have we heard him repeat
page after page of Burke’s immortal
speeches. It is the same with tbe speeches
of Phillips, Grattan, Conan and O’Con
nell. Jones is a very able man. His
Democracy is extreme, hot out of politics
he is one of the best fellows the world
over. «
Davis, of West Virginia, though an old
member of the Senate, has made but one
speech—on agriculture. It waa printed
exactly Hit was written. His remarks
are left to the tender mercies of the
stenographer.
Beck, Davis’ colleague on the commit
tee cf appropriations, is the most rapid
talker in either House of Congress. Well
for him that tbe Senate has such a steno
grapher as Denis Murphy, whose hand
travels over paper like lightning. We
doubt if his equal could be found any
where. Beck is an untiring worker, has
tbe constitution of a Kentucky race-horse,
and lo amount of labor is too heavy for
him. He is not much cf a reviser, going
on the principle of Pontius Pilate—quod
tcripti, teriptL He is as blunt as Joey
Bagstock and as good natured as Mtrlc
Tapley. As there are “no leaves to print”
In tbs Senate, no Senator can publish n
manuscript. Tbe first page of the Daffy
Record Is quite a desideratum as the
place to air the title of the speech, and
many a grave Senator who would willing
ly sit at the end of MacGregor’s table it
loath to have bis speech hidden in tbe
middle ot tbe Record. In vain to attack
Solomon’s theory about variety!
