Dear heart, do yoa remember
That drear, ;ot dear, December,
When sea and sky waged war, ana snow
and sleet ’ ' ! # .
Fought fierce for mastery o er minds so
?
What eared I then how bad the weether ?
One thought had I—we wero together.
And now the June iVsmiling,
Wth every grace beguiling, ...
The breeze pays court to daisies in the
grass;
In tune are sea and sky. But I, bias !—
What care I now how fair the weather ?
One thought have I—we’re not together.

THE UKOKUIA MUSS.
'Iue first number of the Hawkinsville
Sexes, a thirty-six column weekly, has
reached this office, and is as welcome as
the flowers in May. It promises exceed
ingly well, and we wish it tons of luck.
But Messrs. Beverly & Connelly, the ed
itors and proprietors, must keep up a very
lively lick or Woods will surely get away
with them.
The Savannah Recorder, of Wednes
day, says “eight boxes of new Florida
oranges and several crates of lemons were
brought into the city yesterday on the Sa
vannah, Florida and Western railroad.
They were the first shipments of the
season.”
Tuesday last was the one hundred
and second anniversary of the disastrous
attempt by the Americans to recapture
Savannah from the British. The latter
attacked it March 3, 1170, and were re
pulsed; but in December, 1718, they took
possession of the city. On October 3,
1779, the French and American army,
under D’Estaing and Gen. Lincoln, en
deavored to recapture It, but were un
successful. The loss to the Americans
and French was about eight hundred men,
including Pulaski, the Pole, who fell
there. A monument to bis memory stands
on Monterey square.
Capt. Geo. P. Butler, cashier of the
Georgia Railway Bank, will soon resign
that position on account of ill health.
The Augusta Chronicle says:
The Ewtbic Company—4 meeting
pf the committee of the whole of the city
council was jjeJtl at the mayor’s office Isst
evening, for the purpose of considering
the petition of the United States Electric
Lighting Company, of New York, for
permission to erect poles aud run wires
along the street* of Urn city of AuguiU.
*• 5lines, representative" of the com
pany, was picaent. The committee
• tpfced to grant the permission whenever
a local company shall be organized and
this to be doue during the nest ninety
days.
The same paper says an Injunction case
which has been before Jud^e Sneed for
the past two days involves the titles to
about thirty thousand acres of land in
Southwestern Georgia..
The Dublin Post says the tax payers
of that county have, increased from 1,300
from seven years ago to 2,300 this year.
Also, that for the six days Dr. Chappell’s
mill was stopped and the water low,
400 pounds of fish were caught every day.
Thirty shares of University Bank
stock were sold at Athens
on Tuesday »t from $100.75 to $107.25
per share, and fifteen shares of Northeas
tern railway stock at $10.75 per share.
From the Wallon County Vidette:
A Disastrous Fire—Mrs. Nancy
Ivey, s widow lady, of Good Hope dis
trict, iu this county, had the sad misfor
tune to have her home and all it con
tained, except a sewing machine and a
few clothing, burned on Friday last, to
gether with her smoke house and kitchen
and their contents, saving nothing except
the few articles indicated, so we are in
formed. The fire, we learned, originated
from aparks falling on the roof of the
house, which bad progressed too far to be
allayed before being discovered. Mrs.
Ivey’s loss will reach nearly $2,000. No
insurance.
Sats the Warrenton Clipper: “Mr.
Thomas Wall, a young man of twen
ty-one, and son of Mr. William Wall,
living a few milea from thla place, was
stopped by two men with their faees con
cealed by handkerchiefs late Sunday
evening, as he was returning from a
“singing” at Brier Creek church. They
struck him on the back of the head with
a stick and then commenced cutting him
with knives. They produced no flesh
wounds, only splitting bis clothes in sev
eral placet. H>» «nule dashed and
blunged fearfully, which was greatly In
his fkvor. Being near Mr. Elijah Noma’
residence he called Mr. Norris and the
parties ran off into the woods. About
two years ago he was shot at near the
same place. His fktbersayt be has bad
no falling out with any one.
TUB Columbus Enquirer says a “ma
jority of the Washerwomen of our city
have notified their patrons that iu future
their charges for washing will be $1 per
dozen pieces. They ssy a less price will
not pay them, and they’ll either get this
or stop working. Opelika’s remedy of
making them pay a license of $25 for do
ing business might be adopted with good
results.”
From the Marietta Journal:
Let It Alone.—There would l>e no
sense In disturbing the lease of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad. The lease has
but a few years to run, and with a compe
ting new line, big profits will be reduced
to small one*. The monthly rental of
$25,000 is promptly paid, tbe road is kept
in tint-class condition and wbat more
could be expected Is a mystery fault-find
ers cannot explain.
The Atlanta Constitution of last Tues
day bad over thirteen columns of mar
shal sales. It looks as if tbe “Chicago of
tbe South” is about to be “sold out.” It-
will make up its losses by ‘-selling” the
people durirg tbe Cotton imposition.
The following letter to bis mother,

C. C. Clay’s Condition.—A fracas
occurred in tills city on Saturday last, be
tween Capt. L. E. Spivey, Thomas Hew-
ett and C. C. Clay, In which the latter
gentleman was severely atabbed-in tbe
back. We learn that tbe wound is about
two Inches deep and grazed the spine.
Mr. Clay returned to bis home, and on
Monday Dr. S. B. Hawkins was sent for,
as he was very sick. The Doctor says
that he liad a severe rigor of several hours
on Monday, whetlier caused from the
pent up pus or from malaria, he was not
prepared to say, yet while he waa quite
sick he did not consider him dangerously
A Bold Act.—We learn that on Sat
urday night last, several white men went
to the residence of Mr. R. A. Greene, in
the 29th district of Sumter, and while he
was absent from borne, drove his wlie
from the house, locked themselves In and
held possession for several hours. A neigh
bor went there to find out wbat they were
up to, but was peremptorily ordered to
leave before he was hurt. When the
parties left they robbed tbe hen house of
every fowl on the place. Our informant
did not know whether Mrs. Greene recog
nized any of the party, nor the motive
that inspired the dted.
Says the Savannah Jfetce: “There was
considerable excitement manifested yes
terday to learn tbe result of tbe prelim
inary examinations which were an
nounced to be held before Trial Justice
Heyward, near Levy’s Cross Roads, in
the case of the negro strikers who had
been arrested for assaulting and beating
negro hands on Mr. Barnwell’s place who
had refused to join in their movement.
Nothing could be learned, however, until
late last night, when the overseer on oue
of the plantations came over to the city.
It is stated that the negro striker*, whose
numbers bad increased to five hundred
and ipore, including a number of
feipgles, org*nize4 * pi»b 09 Sun
day night, the membership fei
of which was oue dollar. It
was announced that the mm thu* raised
would be UMd ID 8*friying iue necessary
expenses incurred in the defense of tbe
arrested rioters. This club sent to Beau
fort for a well known colored lawyer,
named Wheeler, to represent their cause.
Wheeler came down promptly to the cross
roads on Monday morning, and made an
address to tbe negroes. He Informed
them that there was no question as to
their right to quit work whenever they
chose, but that it was wrong and unlaw
ful for them to interfere with or disturb
those who refused to join their movement,
and who would work. He advised them
to return to their homes and behave them
selves until they were willing to resume
their labors. This plain talk was not to
the liking or the “strikers,” who jeered
and hooted Wheeler, and Informed him
that they did not wish to hear such talk,
and that he had better get, aud that right
quickly. Wheeler took their advice and
got. The examination into the cases against
the negroes who Lad been arrested for
beating the hands on Mr. Barnwell's
place did not take place, as tbe witnesses
for the prosecution failed to put in an ap
pearance, having been intimidated and
threatened by tbe rabble if they dared to
testify. The parties, we hear, were there
upon released upon tbe payment of the
sheriff’s costs, $3.75 each, which amount
was paid over by tbe club. The rabble
then left the place with flags flying and
drams beating in great triumph. Tbe fe
males were particularly violent in tbeir
demonstrations, and for further diversion
suggested another attack on the bands
who were working. Their mad counsels,
howbeit, did not prevail, and as far as can
be ascertained there was no disturbance
on the river plantations or attempts to in
terfere with tbe workers.
The Athens Banner says seventy-five
students matriculated at the University
on Wednesday, tbe first day of the session,
more tban on any first day for several
years past.
The Augusta Stic* says tbe sinking
fund commissioners of that city purchased,
on Thursday, $7,000 of city bonds, with
the following prices, according to date of
maturity: $500 at 100, $3,000 at 110, and
$3,500 at 112. Tbe total amount of city
bonds retired by tbe sinking fund com
mission up to date amounts to $173,750.”
What Senator YorheesSayu.—'We
clip the following from the Atlanta Poet-
Appeal :
Iu answer to the query,if the Democrats
would be able to otganize that body, tbe
Senator answered:
“Ob, yes. Why not ? They have a fair
aud legitimate majority aud tbe theory
and practice of our government is that tbe
majority shall rule. We have the major
ity and bavo it without a taint of fraud or
trickery. The resignation of Conkling
and Platt left the majority of the Senate
with the Democrats and they will moat
assuredly exercise the lights of all ma
jorities and exercise them wisely.”
“But will the Democrats be able to
maintain tbe organization ? Cannot the
Republicans, wheu their new Senators
are seated, reverse the majority aud reor
ganize the Senate ?”
“No, tbey cannot. The seatiogof tbe
new Senators will not give t3«m a major
ity.”
“Provided Davia votes with the Demo
crats ? ”
“Did you know Senator Davis as well
as 1 know him and the people know him,
you would hardly entertain for a moment
such a doubt. He will certainly vote
with the Democrats."
“This is a pleasant assurance, indeed.
And in that event whom will you
honor ? ”
“Senator Bayard, of course. He is en
titled to it by seniority, which, according
to all precedents, aceoads tbe distinction
to blur. It is true that tbe slight deaf
ness of Senator Bayard to that extent in
capacitates him lor a presiding officer, but
be can call another to tbe chair and thus
obviate the difficulty. He is clearly en
titled to tbe place, and the Senate will
honor itself in honoring him."
“Wbat of Senator Harris, of Tennessee?
He has been previously mentioned iu con
nection with the place.”
“Senator Harris made the best presid
ing officer I ever siw, and were it not that
precedent gives tbe place to Senator Bay
ard, he would probably be the man.”
In reply to an Inquiry as to tbe business
of tbe Senate, Mr. Voorhees said:
“Tbe session will be short, and beyond
tbe confirmation of the Presiueut’s ap
pointees but little will be done. Presi
dent Arthur will reconstruct bis cabinet
without doubt, and reconstruct it upon a
stalwart basis. Upon this subject, how
ever, I prefer not to be reported.”
The same paper famishes these addi
tional items:
Poisoned by Mistake—At tbe resi
dence of Mr. J. W. Sims, 77 North Collins
street, live several of his eleven, ladies
who are welt known, and much esteemed
by a large circle of acquaintances. One
of tbe young ladies, Miaa Sudie Sims, for
sometime past hat been suffering from
a nervous affection, and l»s been in tbe
habit of taking quinine to afford relief.
About 0 o’clock yesterday evening, she
was lying down, and feeling badly, asked
one of her aisUra for a does of quinine.
Her slater took the medicine, as abe sup
posed, from a clock where It was usually
kept, tasted it, and gave tbe tick lady a
dose. In a abort time Miaa Sudie felt tbe
effects of poison, and exclaimed that she
waa dying. An examination revealed the
fact that a fatal mistake had been made,
and arsenic administered instead of qui
nine. Medical aid was speedily sum
moned, but before it arrived Use unfortun
ate young lady was dead.
The Reception at the Gov enrobes
Mansion.—The executive manskm was
thronged last night with a brilliant as
semblage of ladies and gentlemen, tbe oc

From tbe Dawson Journal:
A Sad Death.—It becomes Jour pain
ful duty to chronicle this week tbe death
of Dr. J. R. Janes, which was sudden aud
unexpected. On last Thursday lie was up
on our streets aud at his place of business
as usual. After going home he ate his
supper and came out on the front veranda
and sat iu quiet converse with his family
Until between the Lours of nine and ten
o’clock. Very suddenly he was stricken
with paralysis and fell from his chair,roll
ing upon the floor. Assistance beiug at
once summoned he was earned in and
placed upon a bed. Several physicians
being called in, all was done for him that
medical skill aud science could devise,
but without avail. He lingered in a heavy
comatose condition until Sunday morniDg,
3 o’clock, when he breathed his last.
Thus was brought to a close the life of a
useful and pronfiuent citizen. In the
death of Dr. Janes our county has sus
tained a severe affliction.
From the Cutbbert Enterprise:
Illness of Mr. J. McK. Gunn.—Our
whole community was shocked and griev
ed on Sunday morning last to hear that
on tbe previous night Mr. Gunn bad
suffered a stroke of paralysis. He had
been unusually sprightly during the day,
ami that nigh: sat with his pastor, Rev.
H. F. Hoyt, in lively conversation till half
past eight o’clock, lie was about retiring
at'PUJU, when Mrs. Gunn noticed that
something was the matter with him, and
a physician was soou sent for. On hi»
arrival lie at once pronounced the trouble
paralysis. The entire left, side is involved.
The favorable symptoms are that be has
been perfectly conscious, converses with
but little difficulty, and his appetite and
digestion are good. Tbe internal organs
seem not to be impaired. He has been
more hopeful of his case tbe last few
uijs tbau for * little while after he was
first stricken.
We regret to learn of theserlons illness
ot Dr. L. P. Dozier, near Enon, Quitman
county. We have* heard that he was
stricken with paralysis Saturday or Satur
day night, whether this really be tbe
cause of his sickness or not, we cannot
certainly say, but ot bis serious illness
there can be no doubt.

bave already gathered sixty-four bales of
cotton, and that their crop will reach sev
enty bales. Besides this tbey will make
five hundred bushels of corn and tea bar
rels of syrup. This is what we call a big
yield for a tliree-mule farm. And all
done on moderately talr around. Can

A Map of Georgia.
Compiled by A. G. Butts, Macon, Georgia,
from engravings on copper by the well
known Philadelphia engraver, J. L. Smith.
Since the issuo of the last map of tho State
of Georgia in 1871, there has been estab
lished in the State as follows: New post-
offioes and changes, 488; new mills, roads
and churches, 469; new railroads com
pleted and under construction, miles 578;
new railroads completed previously, miles
8,101; changes iu county lines, 1G; new
oounties created, 1. This map exhibits all
the new counties, county towns, villages,
poet offices, and the whole net work of
railroads, highways, rivers, creeks and wa
ter courses in tire State. It is a correct
transcript from the records in tire surveyor-
general’s office, showing the surveyed dis
tricts witn the numbers of the lot of laud
in the corner of each, and a complete check
map for all portions of the State, surveyed
in lots of 490 seres. It also exhibits that
portion of Florida bounded cn tire south.
Sires of map, 56x67 inches; also the aUi-
tudes of every station and city in the State.
TtaPcrCaat Increase.
We understand that President Wadley
baa expressed his intention of advancing
the salaries of all the employee of the Cen
tral railroad ten per cent. This is indeed
a wise and liberal move on the part of
President Wadley, and all of the employes
will highly appreciate his kindness. Pro
visions, clothes, fuel and all the necessaries
of life have considerably advanoed in
price, and this ten per cent increase will
come as a gift from heaven. Especially
welcome will it be to the poor man. While
on the subject of increase of salaries would
it not be wise in the city council to advance
tbe pay of the policemen? Comparatively
tbey receive very light salaries for their
faithful discharge of duty*
COXHLIXG AXIS UAHVIELH. H
What a Baptist Minister Knows of the
I aside History of Tbolr Relations.
From the Kew York Sen.
To the Editor of the Sun—Sir: The
charge made by the Rev. Wayiatid Hoyt
in the Baptist Ministers’ Conference con
cerning the Hon. Roscoe Conkling is so
unjast sad untrue that I beg permission
to correct it. First, it is kuown tbat Mr.
Conkling does not, iu any way, “incar
nate tbe spoils system.” As Mr. Garfield
said to him anil said about him, Mr.
Conkling was one Senator that did not
ask any favors. The night they were to
gether, as Mr. Conkling was going home
Mr, Garfield said;
“Mr. Senator, you have not referred to
appointments.”
“No. Mr. President, I have not. As you
did not ask advice I did not volunteer it;
though, to tell you tbe truth, ruy pockets
are burdened with petitions from tbe best,
men iu the city of New York, ami I should
be glad to uuload them.”
Mr. Garfield said: “Mr. Senator, please
keep them two weeks longer. In the
meantime, nothing will be doue concern
ing the offices in New York. At that
time I shall be glad to consult with you
relative to the New York appointments to
be made. Those already made are be
lieved to bo satisfactory to you.”
This was at 12 o’clock at night. The
next day Mr. Robertson was appointed col
lector instead of Merritt, made consul at
l<ondon. Mr. Conkling was surprised.
Friends hurried to Mr. Garfield aud told
him he had made a mistake little short of
a crime. The joiut letter of protest was
written and seut, Mr. Garfield had been
influenced to pursue the course taken by
considerations which seemed to him wise.
He said, however, “I am not infallible,
may bave made a mistake. Ask the two
Seuators and Mr. Arthur to come and talk
it over.”
It is said that two of the gentlemen
were ready to go. The third got on bis
hat and received a telegram* in cipher,
read it, took oti' his hat, and said: “it
was too late.”
Then came the resignations. Then
followed the betrayal of the friends on
whom Mr. Conkling had leaned. Then
the gong sounded for patronage, and the
hungry crowd came leaping aud climbing
over each other, putting their noses in the
trough, pushing iu above the eyes and
drinking through the ears, and Roscoe
Conkling became the object at which all
the arrows of disappointed ambition
were fired, until now he is called by
Baptist minister the “Incarnation of the
spoils system,” when to those who know
him best, Roscoe Conkling is the one
roan who will not meddle with patron
age. It is said tbat when tbe deluge of
mud throwing began there was not in the
custom house or post-office a man who
had secured Ills place through tho influ
ence of the senior New York Senator.
Secondly—Mr. Conkling is accused of
being mute concerning the assassination
of the President. This is so untrue and
so unjust that I regret for tbe sake of the
one who uttered it, tbat it should bave
beenspokeu. Think of the facts. Messrs.
Conkling and Arthur were on the Albany
boat when the President was shot. It
had beeu delayed by the fog. On the
landing the telegram was handed them.
Mr. Arthur sank into a cli.-ir overcome
with emotion. That day Mr. Conkling
did bis best to support his friend and saw
him m due time on the train for Wash
ington.
The Monday mornlug after the assassin
ation 1 passed one or two liours with Mr.
Conkling, aud a sadder man I never saw.
The article, “To whom it may concern,”
bad been printed. New York boi.'ed like
a caldron. Mr. Conkling had written a
dispatch expressing bis sympathy. Tho
paper was handed him charging the crime
upon him. He tore up the dispatch and
went to Washington, called at the White
House witli Senator Jones and left Ins
message of sympathy for tbe President
with Mrs. Garfield. From that moment
ou, all that vituperation, injustice, malice,
forgetfulness of favors, and hatred because
of disappointments in obtaining them,
could do to injure the fame and break
the heart ot Roscoe Coukling has been
done.
For myself, I am not in any way moved
by favors shown me to write this letter. I
have kuown aud loved Itoscoe Conkling
for years. I have been urged by friends
who knew of this friendship, to write and
ask him for favors. Notone such request
was ever granted. But I could not respect
my manhood if I did not cry out against
the injustice being done a man who to
day must be mute, but who will yet be
heard and honored by the American peo-
plo aa before. With sincere respect, 1 am

Washington, October 8.—The Re
publican and Democratic Senatorial cau
cuses met at the capitol about U o’clock
this forenoon. There was quite a full at
tendance at both of them, not more than
five "Democrats and four Republicans be
ing absent. Tbe three new Senators,
Messrs. Lapham, Miller ant! Aldrich, were
present at the Republican caucus. After
remaining in sessiou an hour or more,
discussing the situation, the Republicans
appointed a committee to coufer with the
Democrats on the general subject of or
ganization. Tbe caucus then took a recess
for an hour. But little disposition was
shown in the Republican caucus to offer
any factious opposition to the election
of a Democratic President pro. tempore
beroretbe new Senators are.swom iu. The
drift of discussion pointed to a respectful
but firm prote <t against such action on the
part ot the Democrats, and not to filibus
tering to prevent it. The Democrats still
remain in session, and have decided to
proceed with the election of a President
pro. tempore as the first step on Monday
next. Mr. Bayard was unanimously de
termined upon as tbeir candidate.
The Democratic- caucus appointed a
committee, consisting of Senators Pendle
ton, Garland, Voorhees, Pugh aud Davis,
of West Virginia, to meet tbe Republican
committee and confer wilh them iu rela
tion to the organization. Senators Ed
munds, Logan, Allison, Sherman aud Mc
Millan composed tbe Republican commit
tee. The Democratic caucus, after ap
pointing the conference committee, took
recess. The two committees met but
failed to reach any agreement. The
Democrats stated that they bad no au
thority to enter into any conference with
regard to the election ot a president of
the Senate, that their caucus insisted upon
the right of the Democrats to elect this
officer. The Republicans replied tbat
their purpose was to coLfer with regard
to the entire organization. The Demo
crats declined to consider the presidency
ot tbe Senate as at issue at all, and upon
this basis tbe Republicans refused to hold
a conference, and tbe committees sepa
rated within fifteen minutes after meeting
and reported back the facts to their re
spective caucuses.
The Republicans, without further dis
cussion, adjourned soon after the return
of their conference committee. Alter the
adjournment, the chairman, Scuator
Anthony, prepared the following state
ments as the Republican version of their
efforts to agree upon a plan of organiza
tion: It having been uudorstood tbat sev
eral Democratic Senators had manifested
a willingness to coufer with the Republl
cans upon the situation, the latter, at
tbeir caucus to-day,appointed a committee
of five, Messrs. Edmunds, Sherman, Alli
son, McMillan and Logan, to
coufer with a similar committee
of the Democrats upon the organization
of the Senate. This was communicated
to the Democratic caucus, whereupon tbe
latter appointed Messrs. Pendleton, Pugb,
Garland, Davis, of West Virginia, and
Voorhees. Tbe committees met,jand the
Republicans were informed that before
receiving the notice of a desire for a con
ference, the Democrats had, upon delib
eration, determined that, under
the existing circumstances, the Democrats
would select a president pro tem.
of the Senate, and the Democratic com
mittee were not authorized to confer with
the Republicans upon that subject. As
the decision covered the most important
of the points upra which conference was
desired, the Republican conferees with
drew, and upon their report of tbe facts
the Republican caucus adjourned to meet
at 10 a. m. Monday. It has been well
known, as the result of informal conver
sations between promiueut Seuators of
both parties, tbat both caucuses bad been
called to meet at tbe same hour ou Satur
day for the express purpose of conferring.
The Democrats, after tbe return of
their conference committee, continued tbe
discussion of tbe question which had
arisen before the appointment of the com
mittee to confer with the Republicans,
whether they should admit the new Seu
ators or proceed to the election of a sec
retary immediately after the election of a
president pro tern. A recess was taken
soon after until 8 o'clock, when
discussion of the safiie question was re
sumed, but without reaching any definite
conclusion, the caucus, at 9:30 p. m., ad
journed until Monday at 10:10 a. m.
