Correspondent's of the Bnjuirer.
Macon, Ga., February 20,1382.—Be

never seen before, Macon, in Georgia,
named for old Nathyiiel Macon, the
North Carolina Spcakerot Congress, who
said that “firt-figbts and bad roads were
the making of a good militia.” He was a
strict constructionist, and a great comfort
to Mr. Jefferson, and hence the Jeffersonian
party named a city for him in which ail
the streets are one hundred and eighty
feet wide, or two hundred feet, including
the sidewalks. Every block has a State
sovereignty of its own; nobody can quar
rel here between curbstones, and a man
cannot recognlzo his wife across the street.
In the middle of these vast saudy-clay
streets they set two-story fire engine Looses
which look like little urinals or watch-
boxes at a short distance away, so
estranged are they from the house lines,
yet a lire could hardly cros$ one of these
streets without losing its way. Neverthe
less, the wide streets are pleasing in a hot
latitude, on the latitude of Charleston
and Shreveport, La. They seldom con
tain shade, though sometimes set with
live oaks, black oaks, gum or olive trees,
scatteringly. None of the streets are
paved ; they cut up deeply in rains, and t

The ancient Monroe Bank, of dark col
umns and low steps, is the city hall now
where once the Georgia war Legislature
met. As Milledgeville, the ruined State
capital, is to the north, itself ungratefully
requited for having harbored the seceding
Legislature, so the prison-pen of Ander-
sonvllle, is about as far to the South,
where young ghosts, the pets of other sires
and mothers, rise in sculpture to ask no
riddle while the blue sky of heaven has
become the common breath of human
man.

Has won the battle for the free,

And in its hollow tones arch aid.

FIGURES.
The cotton mills of Macon are its chief
institutions, and very successful, resting,
I think, upon tho cheapness of the labor,
the saving of fuel to warm the mills, and
the supply of cotton without middlemen’s
charges.
Mr. Hanson, one of the proprietors of
walks, and being at the base of tall, steep
hills, are frequently closed in the vista by
some square, column-surrounded, stately

stepped streets is clothed with massive
chessmen of churches, public baildings,
business blocks, mills, depots and porti-

orgiay, almost inclosing them. Abun
dant shade yards and ofieu forest trees iu
them fill up the gaps between the struct
ures, and a strong sense of social lifo and
worldly ease Is conveyed by them. The
mayor, Mr. Felix Corput, who called
upon me soon after I reached Macon,
said:

The Hawaiian Treaty.
AT. O Times-Democrat.
Raised, ns this rice is, by coolie labor, it is
proving a serious and dangerous rival to the
product of Louisiana and South Carolina.
Twelve car loads of Hawaiian rice, about 1,000
barrels, were recently delivered in an Ohio
town, ut the same, or less than oar domestic
product was selling for at this point, adlflerence
against the Louisiana and Carolina product of
three-eighths to one-half cent per pound, and
this, after paying freight nearly across the con
tinent. Within a year one lotof a thousand
packages of Hawaiian rice was purchased in
New York aticss price than an equal grade of
Carolina or Louisiana rice could be purchased
at the producing point. Before the treaty went
into effect Louisiana hail a large rice trade with
Uie far West from Denver to Salt Francisco,
which was increasing every year. It is fair to
estimate that rice would have sold at least one-
half cent higher last season if we could have

Macon was incorporated aud laid out as
at present about 1831; it was the capital of
Georgia during a part of the rebellion,
and the residence after the war of the
formerly United States Senators, Iverson
and Howell Cobb. Cobh’s residence is a
plastered brick bouse, with double win
dows, steps leading ovallv up to its front
door, and an iron fence-around his yard
at the street corner, with green trees In
closed there. He had two hundred or
more slaves before the war, all of which
he lost, of course, and also his brother,
Thomas Cobh, who is said to have been
abler tban himself, and who fell in battle.
He was an estimable man of rather inteuse
opposition and ambition, with no knowl
edge of money, yet he obtained three suc
cessive fortunes, the last one left him by a
brother-in-law, who was upon his staff,
and, therefore, he never ceased to be fairly
comfortable.
It was far different with ex-Senator
Iverson, whose residence at Macon is
painted out, a small, aged negro or poor
man’s cabin of one story, on the mias
matic bank of the treacherous Ocmlugee
river, which frequently rises from its
suck holes to be a muddy flood, aad on
this stream Mr. Iverson played the lum
berman and shook with the ague and
break bone fever. Neither of these men
expected a war would come, but they
played with fire, and suddenly it flashed
up and burnt their substance. But Cobb
went to the war like a man, and though
lie was little of a soldier, never com
plained like Toombs, nor revolted like
Brown. He was a partaker of the conso
lation called Bourbon, and fell dead iu
1808 of a stroke of apoplexy in New York
City, leaving two sons lawyers and one a
planter. He :s considered one of tbe three
great men of Georgia, or next below Wm.
II. Crawford. One of the citizens said to
me: “I thought, it was a pitiful sight to
see Mr. Iverson lying down with the fever
in that comfortless river shanty, but he
talked just like a Senator, sick as he
was.”
Forty miles or so north of Macon is
Milledgeville, where the ordinance of
secession was passed. Howell Cobb wa3
unquestionably tbe leading actional mau
to urge it on, while Joseph E. Brown,
the-Governor, was the most precipitate
secessionist in tbe South; he wauted, they
say, to become the president of the Con
federacy, while Cobb’s heart was already
broken failing to become president of the
United States. Meantime the Faislaff of
tbe State, and the most perfect representa
tion of Falstaff the United States has ever
produced in public life—Robert Toombs—
wanted to bo either president of the Con
federacy or commander-in-chief of Its
army. At this recollection the most sen
sitive Confederate is fain to smile at tbe
ludicrous side of a revolution with such
pretensions. MeanwbilejA. H. Stephens,
not to be left behind in- eccentricity,
got np and made the corner-stone speech,
saying to the Christian world in effect:
“We are going to make liberty an
imputation, and slavery tbe light
of Christ’s world, so recognize us and de
spair !” Such were the four leaders of
Georgia into secession. At that time
Brown was a new quantity, made gover
nor on a compromise—in reality, on i
shrewd plan, he being a master of acci
dents, and going around with a aav of
nights to saw nearly through the limb
where some contemporary peacock is
roosting. Joseph’s favorite weapon is the
band-saw. Brown played with the war
as a political opportunity ; to Toombs it
wasnothingbutthe circus fire and the
clown in tbe presence of a larger audi
ence ; to Cobb it was the end of opportu
nity, the flight from Paradise. He loved
the places of honor and power around
Washington, and had joined in the great
game of bluff, stacked by his two hun
dred to three hundred negroes, till they
called him to produce them and let the diee
of battle be thrown. Ah ! The hollow
eyes that then began to deepen, where
success would be ruin to the next genera
tion and failure ruin to their own general
ion.
In the midat of this hullabaloo the 'in
valid mystic, A. H. Stephens, began to
idealize like the moukey in the ark on the
advantages of rain. Any situation suited
him if be was only allowed to formu
late on it.
So here was a comic paradise lost, like
Milton Illustrated by Cbam, or John
Leech caricaturing the sublime. And on
the pablic square of Macon stands only
the real hero of it all, the Confederate
soldier boy, that gallant tighter tor tbe
follies of his fathers, and whose errors he
can scarcely permit himself to acknowl
edge to-day, though in his reflective mo-
men's it must intrude that for a negro his
father’s generation staked his life, and re
fused to let that negro take his place to
stop the bullet. They risked tbeir sons
but not tbeir boudsmeu, and aban
doned the Confederacy only when it
demanded tbe negroes for soldiers to
fight against their own prospects. To me
it seems, as I look up at the dignified
marble lineaments of that Georgia sol
dier boy, bis musket at rest, his cloak to
shield him from this warm February suu,
hi- slouched hat turned carelessly up,
and his countenance wearing tbe riddle
of bis status and fate, that he is ask

Mr. Butler presented a petition from all
the bank presidents, tbe president of the
Chamber of Commerce and a number of
leading business men of Charleston,
South Carolina, asking a modification of
the treaty with tbe Hawaiian Islaud.s
Mr. Gonusn offered a resolution dirert-
ing.tbe Postmaster General to transmit
a statement giving the amount expended
during the fiscal year ending June 30tn,

list of the railroad companies receiving
the same, the amount paid to each com-
paDy, the additional service forot?bcd by

a detailed statement of the contracts made
for special last mail facilities during the
present fiscal year to date, the amount to
be paid to each railroad company and tbe
character tf the additional service to be
performed by each company. Adopted.
Mr. Vance offered a resolution reciting
that the cost ot collecting the internal
revenue tax in the sixth collection dis
trict of North Carolina is nearly sixty
per cent., beiDg greater than that of any
other district in the United States; that
many serious charges against tbe officials
are openly made iu the newspapers and
elsewhere and are generally believed, and
providing lor the appointment by the
President of the Senate of a committee of
three to Investigate the charges and com-
pla’nts, with power to compel the attend
ance of witnesses, etc. *
Mr. Sherman regarded the resolution as
extraordinary and in tho nature of an
executive order. He supposed it referred
to a matter pending in executive session
and before the committee on finance. He
would not object to calling on the Treas
ury Department for information, but he
certainly objected to a recital about which
the Senate could know notliing.
Mr. Yance said he had twice applied for
the information he desired—once by Sen
ate resolution and then by letter to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, aud
in each instauce had encountered a clear
and unmistakable evasion of bis demand.

matter had been a public scandal in North
Carolina forten years, and as he wanted to
get at the truth of it he would insist upon
a vote on the resolution at the earliest
moment. Thu matter was laid over un

pressed paper pulp is successfully used in
the manufacture of doors, wail paneling*,

result that all risk of warping and crack

dry-rot is forever banished. Fapiermacbe,
after having served a useful purpose in
an unobtrusive manner for years as a ma
terial for small trays, paper knives and
other such light articles, has now sudden
ly assumed a still more important position
in the industrial world. A still more
sudden and striking advance has been
made in the employment of cotton a3 a
building material. A preparation called
celluloid, in which cotton is a leading in
gredient, has been used lately as a substi
tute for ivory in ihc manufacture of such
articles as billiard balls and paper-
cutters, and now a Canadian manufac
turer has Invented a process by which
compressed cotton may be used, not
merely for doors and windqw frames, but
for the whole facade of large buildings.
The enormous and increasing demand for
paper for its normal uses as a printing

ed use of papier-mache as a building ma
terial, for which it is so well suited in so
many ways; but the production of cotton

party in New .York city some odd dinner
cards were used. They were exact imi
tations of square soda crackers, made of
pale silk filled with down and sachet pow
der. The edges were slightly colored, as
a cracker is browned in the baking, and
tho print of tbe cutting stamp was copied
by tbe silk being stitched together in
places. In the center, where the name of
the manufacturer usually is, was the name
of the guest. As they lay upon tho pure
white linen by the plates they looked like
such fresh, good soda crackers that it was
a disapppintment to find that they would
not break and crumble into brittle mouth
fuls.
At the Opera.—If we bad the man
agement of chorus singing in an opera we
would insist on the lean and scraggy ones
keeping more in the hack ground. Aud
those short, fat ones, shaped like a hogs
head perched cn piano legs, wouldn’t be
brought so conspicuously to the front
either. It is a s'ruggle between these two
extremes of ugliness as to which shall oc
cupy the most prominent positions, while
the handsome and shapely women are
crowded to tho rear. No matter if tho
homely ones are the best singers, beauty
should be at tbe front whether it can sing
well or not.—Cincinnati Saturday Night

Mr. I. M. Davis of s Morning Sun was
tbe holder of ticket No. 70,000, the capital
prize January drawing in the Louisiana
State Lottery. It is a severe shock to re
ceive Information that $30,000 is subject
to command. He was arranging his mill
machinery, but it did not unnerve him,
however. He took it cooiy and made use
of the oft quoted maxim: “Fool for
luck,” etc. Mr. Davis is fifty-two years
of age; has been a citizen of the county
forty-one years; has a family—wife and.
six children—and is a useful and honora
ble citizan of his neighborhood. Hh farms;
keeps a small stock of merchandise, and
runs a steam gin and mill at Morning San,
Tenn. When asked if he would “grind”
Saturday he replied, “as usual.” He is
receiving numerous letters asking loabs
as high as $5,000. Well, old fellow, we
never thought when we drank buttermilk

ago with yon that such a fate awaited
you.—Memphis (Tenn.) Aealanche, Jan.

Fees aad DocMrs.
The fees of doctors is an item that
very many persons are interested in just-
at present. We believe the schedule for
visits is $3, which would tax a mau con
fined to his bed for a vear, and in need of
dally visits, over $1,000 a year for medical
attendance alone! And one single bottle
of Hop Bitters taken in time would save
the $1,009 and all the year’s sickness.—
Post.
ate took up the Chinese bill. Mr. Gro
ver, of Oregon, took the floor in support
of the bill. Ho was followed by Mr.
Farley, of California, also in support of
the bill, who consumed the remainder of
the afternoon, ylolding finally to an exec
utive session, which consumed one hour
aud twenty-three minutes. The Senate
then adjourned.
HOUSE.
There was a good deal of confusion in
the House this morning, owing to tbe fact
that a number of members were demand
ing recognition of the Speaker, but Mr.
Aiken, of Sooth Carolina, declared bis in
tention of objecting to everything until or
der was restored.
Mr. Harris, cf Massachusetts, chairman
of the committee on naval affairs, reported
the bill authorizing the construction of
vessels of war for tho navy. Oreered
printed and recommitted.
The morniog hour being dispensed
with, the House, at 12:40, went into com
mittee of the whole, Mr. Rice, of Massa
chusetts, in tbe chair, on the consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill, which ap
propriates $1,108,530, being $12,000 less
tban was appropriated last year, and
$115,000 less than the estimates.
Mr. Ellis, ofLouisiana, said he intended
to speak m favor of a more vigorous for
eign policy than had prevailed during the
last ten years, but would await a more
favorable occasion.
Mr. Whitthorne, of Tennessee, followed
in advocacy of a vigorous foreign policy,
particularly commending the attitude of
tbe late administration regarding the
inter-oceanic canal, tho South American
republics and the Ciayton-Bulwer. treaty,
and declaring that the proposed “Peace
Congress” of the South and Central
American governments was not only
projter but vitally important. But Gar
field was dead, and Blaine was no longer
Secretary of State. The great West and
the enterprising East did not govern. It
was the shadow of Wall street. Specula
tive capital, through fear of offense to
foreign nations, withheld the bravo words
which the representatives of the nation’s
power, energy and honor had spoken.
The United Stztes would not move vrheu
honor, commerce and trade demanded
protection, lest, forsooth, jealousy aud
111 will in some foreigu power should be
created. Was there a lower depth to be
reached ? Let it be said to the honor of
the late administration that it seemed to
have been imbued with the doctrines ot
the old patnots, whose deeds illustrated
with lustre the greatest and brightest
pages of American history.
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, was tho
next speaker. The people of the country,
he said, bad arrived at two conclusions in
reference to our foreign policy. First,
that citizens, whether naturalized or na
tive, 'Should have full aud complete
protection at home and abroad. Second,
that the Monroe doctrine should be As
serted and maintained at every cost and
hazard, even to the issue of the cannon’s
mouth. In the course of his remarks,
Mr. Hewitt alluded to a former speech of
Mr. Orth, of Indiana, aDd brought that
gentleman to his feet, followed by Mr.
Holman and others. Finally Mr. Kasson
recalled the House to the bill under con
sideration, but his own remarks were
somewhat extended, aud directed prin
cipally to a defense of the present admin
istration from tho criticisms of Mr.
Whitthorne.
Other speeches were made, nominally
upon the subject of the bill, but all of a
political character. The committee rose
without action. The Senate amendments
io the post route bill were concurred in,
and then, at 4:50, the House adjourned.
Washington, March 3.—In the Sen
ate, Mr. Butler presented, read at length
and explained a memorial from the
bench, bar, executive officers, commercial
boards, professors of colleges, journalists
and others, numbering in all one hundred
citizens of South Carolina, for national
aid for tbe education of the youth of that
State, and in support of his bill on Ute
subject. He said the State had the frame
work of as good a free school system as
any in the Union, but tbe great difficulty
in tbe way of realizing ail that waa de
sired from that system was tbe want of
money, and it would be a great hardship
to tax tbe people for school purposes more
of tho discovery of the mouth of the
Mississippi by LaSalle. The committee
say tbe event to be commemorated is of
great historical interest and eminently
worthy of recognition, but they think
Congressmen ought not be required to
absent themselves frsm the sessions of
Congress at a time when the public busi
ness urgently dtmauds their presence.
The recommendation of the committee
was agreed to.
An order for adjournment from to-day
until Monday was agreed to.
The bill to authorize the compilation
and printing of a naval history of the war
of the rebellion came up in order on the
calendar and was passed.
Tbe Senate bill to amend section 4,453
of the revised statute, relating to the li
cense fees of officers of steam vessels was
also passed. It reduces tho charge for
certificates of license of masters, engteflers,
pilots and mates of steam vessels to fifty
cents each, instead of five dollars,
; The Senate bill creating a joint commit
tee to provide for the erection ot a statute
of Chief Justice Marshall in Washington
was taken up and passed.
The discussion of the Chinese
bill was conutined at 1:45 p. m.,
and Mr. Farley continued his re
marks. After he had concluded the de
bate took a colloquial turn, several Sena
tors participating. The discussion lasted
until 4:15 when an executive session was
moved, it becoming evident from the
number of speakers and amendments that
the bill could not be concluded to-day.
The friends of tho bill, however, endeav
ored to force a vote, but failed, aud the
bill went over until Monday. After a
brief executive session the Senate ad
journed till Monday.

of the Atchafalaya mouth of Red river.
On motion of Mr. Richardson, of New

cense fees of masters, chief engineers and
first class pilots of steam vessels from $10
to $1.50, and of chief mates, engineers and
pilots of inferior grade from $5 to 75
cents.
At tbe concius!on of the morning hour,
devoted to reports of private bills, the
House at 12:45 went into committee of the
whole, Mr. Belford, of California, in tbe
chair, on tbe private calendar.
At 3:50 tbe committee rose and the
House passed two or three personal relief
bills. The committco on foreign affairs

One evening, snd^jjT the course of the

Bainbbidqk, Ga, March 2.—Jacob Har
rell, tax oollector of Decatur county, ab
sconded some days ago, carrying with him
between three and five thousand dollars of
the county taxes. The State loses noth
ing, being fully protected by a good bond;
but the county, owing to the neglect of the
county commissioners to take a bond for
the eounty taxes, will lose tbe entire
amount. _
The defalcation of Mr. Harrell was
great surprise to the people generally. He
hrdbeen oollector for several terms and
no one questioned his integrity. His ac
quaintances attribute this lapse to whisky,
wh ch doubtless had much to do with it.
The time is not far distant when voters
will regard temperance ns an indispensa
ble qualification to political preferment at
their hands.
The county wffl now be afflicted with an
election. Several candidates have an
nounced themselves and the end is not yet.
There seems to be a general disposition to
let them all go before the people on their
own merits, unhampered or unbelped as
the case may be by nominating conven
tions.
Night before last wa were visited by a
young hurricane that tore down fences,
uprooted trees and did many other things
of like character, a* is oestomary with
suoh visitants. A small frame house in
the suburbs of the city was blown over
and a nostro woman who redded in it was
killed. Her boy was also injured, though
not seriously.
There was said to-day to Northern men
seven thousand five hundred acres of unim
proved pine land, for one dollar and fifty
cents per aorv. This is »the largest land
sale that has been made in Decatur county
for years, and tbe price is above the aver
age, too. Speaking of prices, VIr. G. F.
Westmoreland, a young attorney, sold yes
terday his pointer dog, raised and trained
by himself, to a Northern sportsman for
one hundred and seventy-five dollars.

Yesterday the old Macon fo* hunter,
Emanuel Hunt, accomplished a feat eel'*
dom done in fox hunting, that of running
two foxes together and capturing them.
Emanuel has been engaged in hunting
foxes, oposeunA and oooua for nine years.
He has a pack ot fourteen hounds whioh
be is ready to match against any other pack
in the South. It ia composed of tbe July,
Bed Ball and Birdsong breeds, and one
genuine English fox hunting hound which
bo declares wJl clean np anything that gets
before him.
Ysstsrday morning, Emannel gathered a
crowd of men and taking hie hounds start
ed out on a big bunt for foxes. They
jumped two and they sprang forward to
gether and kept so for about three hours.
The race waa exciting, the doga kaeping up
with ths procession, Emanuel drinking m
the munio of the far away yelping. When
about ton miles from the storting point,
and in the vicinity of Bolingbroke, the
foxei parted oompany, and toan the dogs
piled m on one of them. Some of the
hounds who had followed the other fox
heard tbe squall of the oaptured and came
up, but whan be was killed tbe English
dog, Jake, led off after the other, followed
by ton ol the bounds. They soon oloaed in
on him and the rvoe was ovj;. The skins
ware brought iuta town and exhibited te
trophies of the doable capture.
Emanuel is “a drayman lor George 8.

hunting puts soma one on his dray and

WasniNOTON, March 4.—In the House,
Mr. Hiscock, of New York, presented the
conference reporter on the immediate defi
ciency bill. He explained that the Senate
had increased to the extent of $473,000 the
appropriations made by tbe bill, but that
the conferees of that body had receded
from amendments to the amount of $222,-
000. The bill as it now stood therefore in
creased the appropriations made by the
House $250,000. The report waa agreed to.
Mr. Miller, of Pennsylvania, from tbe
committee on elections, reported a resolu
tion dif-missing the contested election ease
of Smith vs. Robertson, from the sixth dis
trict of Louisiana. Adopted. The House
at 1:15 went into committee of the whole,
Mr. Riee, of Massachusetts, in the chair, on
the consular and diplomatio appropriation
bill, general debate being limited to one
honr. At the conclusion of the debate the
bill was read foi amendments. One by
Mr. Brewer, of Michigan, to strike cut the
provision for a consul at Lisbon was
adopted. At 5:10 the consideration ot the
bill was oonolnded, and it was reported to
the House. Tho previous question was or
dered on tbe passage of the bill, but no
farther action was taken. The House at
5:20 adjourned.
Washington, March 4.—The Senate com
mittee on commerce this afternoon com
pleted theit consideration of the bill intro
duced by Senator Vest to incorporate the
Inter-Oceanic Ship Railway Oompany and
for other purposes, (commonly known as
the Eads bill), and authorized Vest to re*
port it to the Senate with a recommenda
tion for its passage, with sundry amend
ments. The bill, as amended, provides for
the guarantee by the United States of a div
idend of G per cent per annum for one
hundred years on fifty million dollar* of
the capitat stock of the.comptmy (the total
stock being seventy-five millions), and
stipulates that in return for this aasiatanee
the company shall transport gratia for
ninety-nine years the mail?, war vesrels and
all other property of the United States, and
shall transport American merchant vessels
for one-half the rate charged by the com
pany on all other commerce, except that of
Mexioo. It is farther provided thatforany
advance.made by onr government under
its guarantee the oompany is to give its
bonds, payable in fifteen years, without
interest, whioh bonds, in the event of their
non-paymeut at maturity, are to be re
ceivable for tolls on any Amerioan vessel
with 10 per cent, added to their full value.
Tbe guarantee is to attach to the extent of
$5,000,000 when ton miles of the ship rail
way and the terminal works connected
therewith shall have been completed and
tested in the presence of government
engineers by tbe safe transportation of a
loaded ship, weighing 2,503 tons, from the
harbor to the terminus of a tid ton-mile
section and back again, at an average
speed of six miles per hour. Another five
millions are to be guaranteed when an
other ten-mile section, with necessary
terminal works, shall have been completed
and totted in the same manner at the
other end of the railway. A commission
of engineers appointed by the president of
tbe United States is then to examine the
Windsor, Erg., 2 p. m., March 2.—
As the Queen was entering her carriage
this evening, a man in the station yard
deliberately fired a pistol at her. Tbe
man, who was a miserable looking object,
was immediately seized by several po
licemen aud taken to tbe Windsor police
station. No one was hurt. The man
gave his name as Roderick MacLean.
The Queen drove off to tbe Cattle imme
diately after the was fired at, and the
miscreant was followed to the station by
a large crowd of reople, from whom lie
was rescued with difficulty. The Queen
arrived at Windsor at about 5:25 p. m.
She bad been in London since Tuesday,
where tbe gave a drawing room on Wed
nesday in honor of Princess Helena of
Waldeck, who U to marry Prince Leopold.
A crowd of people assembled at Bucking
ham Palace this morning in hopes that the
Queen would tJ riv ? 9 1, l
of the psople was at cordial as usual.
8p.3T.—There was a lirge crowd of
spectators awaiting the Queen’s arrival at
Windsor. The Queen walked across the
platform or the railway station to her car
riage, which was waiting to tase her to
the Castle. John Brown had already
ascended to his seat behind tbe cairiage,
when a man standing at the entrance to
the station yard) among a number of
spectators, pointed a pisio'. at tbe carriage
‘ To judge from the report, the
pt^v was not heavily loaded. Tbe
feu, who was probably not aware
at bad happened, was immediately
’riven to the Castle, but before she passed
the man had beeu seized by tbe superin
tendent of the borough police, who was
standiug near by. He was also violently
seized by tbe crowd, and was only res
cued from them whon three or four police
men came to the superintendent’s assist
ance. The pistol was captured by one of
the crowd. MacLean, who waa m iserabiy
clad, was taken into High street, aud
thence conveyed to the police station in a
cab. MacLean is saijji to be an inhabitant
of Southsea. The general opinion is that
the act-was the result of lunacy. Tbe re
port of tbe pistol was sharp but not loud.
MacLean apparently inteuded firingagalu,
when tbe revolver, which seemed to be a
new one, was knocked from his hand by
a bystander and hauded to the police.
Eton acholars were prominent in the at
tempt to lynch MacLean. It is under
stood the Queen has not sustained any
shock.
London, •March 3.—MacLean was
charged at the police station with shoot
ing at the Queen with intent to do griev
ous bodily bwm> H e »skec] whether any
one was hurt, but the police retusedto
give him any information. After search
ing the vard at the railway station for
hours this morning, the police founds
small bullet imbedded in Uusfcroi 111 '!- It
bore the marks of having first struck
some other object. It was right in the
direction of the spot over which tbe
Queen’s carriage was passing, having
probably passed over tbe horses’ heads.
Tbe Queen and Princess Beatrice walked
on the Castle terrace as usual early this
morning.
London, March 3, 5:30 p. si.—The
charge brought against MacLean, before
the Windsor magistrate to-day, was shoot
ing at the Qneen with intent to murder.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
Formal evidence was taken concerning
the prisoner’s arrest and the finding of the
bullet. MacLean closely cross-examined
several witnesses. He did. not seem to
be impressed with the seriousness of his
position.
London, March 3.—At the examina
tion of MacLean two letters, written by
the prisoner, were read. In the first,
which was written before the shooting, he
said he was compelled to commit a crime
against the “bloated aristocracy,” because
of the insufficiency of relief offered him.
In the second letter, written after bis
arrest, he said that his only object was to
cause public alarm and get his pecuniary
grievances redressed; that he did not mean
to hurt the Queen, but only fired at the
wheels of her carriage.
London, March 3.—MacLean’s ante
cedents show that be is ecceutric, and is
addicted to drink. Before the beginning
of business at tbe Stock Exchange this
morning, ail the members iu the room
sang, “God Save tbe Queen.” It appears
that MacLean earnestly endeavored to
force bis way through some Etou College
scholars, who were at the station, to se
cure a good position to viow tbe passage
of the Queen, and the consequent bustling
prevented bis having an opportunity to
lire, when he might have done so with
worse result. There are various accounts
as to whether his arm was struck while
fit ing or alter he had fired. The police
evidence at the examination, which the
prisoner tried to shake by cross-examina
tion, went to prove that be fired straight
at tbe carriage, and not at the wheels,
he alleged.
The Pope bait telegraphed bis regrets at
the attempt upon the Queen’s life, and
congratulations upon her escape.
Minister Lowell has tendered to the
Queen tbe congratulations of tbe Ameri
can nation. Telegrams expressing simi
lar sentiments were arriving at Windsor
throughout Ithe night. It is officially
announced that tbe Queen is in no way
affected by the attempt on her life.
The Princess Beatrice and John Brawn
saw MacLean point tbe pistol at the car
riage. He was exactly thirty paces dis
tant when he fired. Two of the four
loaded chambers of the revolver con
tained only blank cartridges. MacLean
bad walked from Portsmouth to London
r. week ago.
Upon MacLean’s person was found a purse
containing a penny and three farthings
and a pocket-book containing the follow
ing entries: “Fourth Path, a novel by
MacLean,” and “Reynolds’ newspaper
