Aaron, mate and eng'neer, both Washington, April Id.—Before proceed ing with the SUipberd exanv'nation ta-tuy tho committee on foreign affairs indulged in a brief discussion relative to tho advisa bility of revising the official reports of tbe proceeding. The question was, bowover, postponed f. r the present. Witness testi fied that tbe offer of $23ROOO in stock to Hurlbut was talked abouluy himself, Sen ator Blair and Blaine on two occasions, Witness admitted that Secretary Blaine never oommitted himself in words, yet when he (Shipherd) came away, anti thought over seriously the drift of his sev-- oralinterviews he was alwatsprofoundly impressed with the belief .tbit the Secre tary was in nocord witb their wishes. Mr. Blaine propounded several questions with a view .o discovering who were tho parti> s interested in the Peruvian Compa ny that he (Sbipherd) had alluded to as friends of Gen Great. The witness evaded direct >nswer,bat finally said: “My opin ion is that at that time there were gentle men interested with ns who wore personal friends of the Garfield administration and there we o others who wore friends of Gen. Grant and President Arthur. The witness declined to state who these persons were and said under no circumstances would he present a list of the stockholders .in the Peruvian" Company. Eiipherd said the greatest surprise of his life wns Blaine's letter of Deoember 3d, indicating a chango of frout.” The witness continued: “My explanation of the Secretary’s change of attitndo is that about December 3d ho become convinced that he could no longer remain in tho cabinet, and fearing that wbat bad passed between him, Senator Blair and myselt might become public, ho made np bis m'nd to finish beforehand and to pnt upon record in the State Depart ment this letter, which wonld indicate that he always know Sbipherd was a fraud and that the Peruvian company was a bubble and a swindle; and, therefore, I say,” add ed the witness, with much feeling, “Ire- ard that letter of December 3d just as do berate an attempt to assassinate a man s actor and destroy a great interest as . was known in history.” /ashingtox, April 13.—C. H.

It is understood that the dismi-sal of Messrs. Hajes and Davino will bo brought up in tbe Honse for dis cussion to-morrow by Mr. Stephona or Mr. Randal'. The refuel of the foreign relations com mittee to proceed with the business yes terday cn tbe discovery that tho official reporter’s notes of the proceedings already had in tho Sbipherd investigation were inoorrect and practically valueless, u made the tost for sharp editorials in seve ral New York papers this morning. To day r.ncther stenographer (official steno grapher to some other committee), was in attendance on the Sbipherd investigation. Andrew Davino, the second stenograph er dismissed by Speaker Keifer, wa3 for merly for many years senior reporter for tho A-soc'mted Press, and like Haye*, from tho House graduated thence to the com mittee room as official reporter.

Up to the present time there bad been remitted to Egan, treasurer of the Irish National League, and Miss Par nell $169,262. , The New York and California delegates explained that their States would have ap peared to better, advantage in the state ment but for the fact that a greater por tion of thei- remittances had been sent di rect to Europe and not through this organ ization. The secretary stated that the to tal remittances, including these sent di rect since the Buffalo convention, wonld aggregate nearly three hundred thousand dollari.

Washington, April 11.—In the Senate Mr. Lapham presented a remonstrance transmitted to him by the Chamber of Commerco of New York, from tho business men of that city engaged in the China dry goods, iron and cotton trade, and embrac ing signatures of banks, bankers and in- snrenoe companies, against the passage of any law prohibiting Chinese immigration. It sets forth that legislation is oontrary to onr national policy and unnecessary af front to a friendly nation, prejudicial to the commercial interests of tbe country in reducing, if not destroying, our growiog commerce with China, which promises to be of vast importance Mr. Lapham said tha petitioners were animated by that spirit which so univer sally prevailed in his boyhood, and which whs exposed in ono stanza in the sinj of "Jefferson and Liberty,” with which all were familiar* "llcre, strangers trom a thousand snores, Compelled by tyranny to roam. Shall 5nd. amid abundant stores, A freer and a happier home.” Tho paper went to tho committee on for- eign relations* Mr. Maxey, from tho committee on claims, reported favorably, with amend ments, a bill to inappropriate and apply tho amount appropriated by the act of March, 1S77, to pay certain Southern mail contractors. - .. The Sehato then took np the oalondir, and, on motion of Mr. Teller, devoted the morning hoar to pension bills, of which a number were passed. At the expiration of the morning hour (at 2 o’clock), the bill for the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, which coifie up rs the reg ular osier, was temporarily laid aside. Sixty pension tail’s were passed. After dis posing of this business, the regular order was agMn passed over, and Mr. Voorhoes addressed the Senate upon the resolution recently introduced by him, declaring the conduct of tho State Department in rela tion to tho arrest and imprisonment, by the British authorities, of D. McSweonoy and other American citizen*, is in violation of American law, inconsistent with tho value of American citizenship, and derog atory to the honor of the United States. He said the Secretary of State failed to respond to the Senate resolution of March 9th, * peremtorily instructing him to re port upon the McSweeny case at the earli est day possible,.until March 29th, although evory item of information transmitted on the latter date was in 'he hands of that officer when th** resolution reached him, and conld have been sent in within twenty- four hour* thereafter. The Amencau State Department.ho asserted of lato years Jind always proceeded very slowly when appealed to in behalf of in American citi zen in a foreign prison. He proceeded ns follow.-!: "A gJvomment which is indiffer ent to the fate of its own citizens, whether at home oc abroad, which fails to respond boldly and swiftly to their appeals for jus tice and leaves them to was to away their lives in prisbes, unaided and unconnected, is unworthy of allegiance and ought not to have, and will not long retain a respect able position nmoog the iudei>endent pow ers of the earth.” The speaker then re viewed the case ot McSweeny: “A natur alized American citizen, who wns arrested by British authorities in Ireland, impris oned on the 2nd day of Jane, 1881, und who hA3 beeu in prison, without trial ever since, notwithstanding the ropoatod appeals of tbe prisoner and his wife to our govern ment lor protection and redress.” •• ii,o anmnnly and pusillanimous silenoe of the State Department throughout the whole easy was,” Mr. Vocrhees raid, “such that every American head would be bowed and every Amer caa heart filled with hu miliation os tho tacts become known.

Committee on Wats and Means—House ot Represent stives, Washington, D. O, April 10th, 1882—Editors Constitution: I ask through the columns ,of your paper to reply to the brutal at took on me in the M«- oon Telegraph and Messenger of the "th insta-t. I know that the policy of tho Constitution is hostile to me and to my representation of a Georgia Congressional district, but I presume it will give me the Opportunity to defend inysolf. I do not ottec claim the attention of the public to matters personal to me, and tho most un justifiable and nnmanly provocation is my excuse this time. In his comments on the homicide of young Mr. Ronntree, Albert Lamar, the editor of the Teleoraph and Messenger, declares: “We reoognize in this the legiti mate conclusion of the partially successful attempt of Mr. Emory Speer to Africanize that portion of tbe State, to gratify his personal ambition and vanity.” This proposition contains two palpab e Department in his hand, that for six long and weary mouths to the prisoner, after this * government |had received tho let ter of Mrs. McSweeny—not a single step wa3 taken by the authorities here for nn inquiry into the circumstances of arrest, and they wore then influenced to take ac tion by considerations other than a just appreciation of the claims of McSweo- ny to protection. Mr. Jones, of Florida, asked whether McSweeny was in rrison now. Mr. Voorhees said he uuders’oqd he was, as no notice had been given of his release. Copimcnttag noon the prisoner's recital of his sufferings in j«il,he said “the picture was one of wanton brutality, such as bar barians alone inflicted upon prisoners, whether guilty or innocent, and showed that tho spirit of torture which for ms many years blackened England’s history is yet active, especially when tho victim be longs to a government whoso administra tion cares nothing for his safety and still less for ito own honor.” Upon tho history of the case, Mr. Voorhees charged that there had been a gross and flagrant viola tion of the act of July 27,1868, (section 2001 cf revised statutes,) for which some body ought to answer at the b*rof the Senato under tho articles of impeachment, At the close of Mr. Voorhees’remarks, the galleries which contained many mem bers of the Land League convention, re cently in seas on in thiscity, noisily man ifested their apprec ation of bis effort* Upon tho suggestion of Senator Sherman ’ fhe resolution of Mr. Voorhees was re ferred to the committee on for eign relations, with a view to inquir* ing into ail the foots of the ease. The Senate, at 4:50, went into executive ses sion , and when tho doors were reopened adjourned until Monday. A BOOM IN GRAIN. Chicago, April 13.—There was agenuino boom in all kinds of grain to-day, and the only explanation seemed to be while that a good many speculators who study statistics closely are short, the country at large, small scalpers and a few very prom inent deaters aro long, and are bulling the market with great pertinacity and success.

Charleston, Abril 13.—In the United States Circuit Conrt to-day in tho Acton election case, testimony for the defense was opened and closed, and the testimony in reply for the prosecution was closed. Dallas Sanders made the opening argu ment for the prosecution, and Col. J. C. Haskell opened for the defense. One of ths counsel on each sido will be heard to morrow and the case then will so to the jury. A witness for the defense to-day denied point blank the charges made by the government’s witnesses, nndjswore pos itively thnt Kano the United States super visor, had been allowed far more privilege than he was entitled to under the law. They te-tified that the ballot box had been opened folly and displayed to Kaao before tho election began and that ho expressed no dissatisfaction; that Kane had been caught twice with his hand in the ballot box and .it was shortly aftor one of th03e occasions that a handle of tickets had been found in the box.

SOUTH AMERICAN NEWSi Panama, April 15.—The concession grant ed General Dauiel Bntterfield, of New York, for the construction of a railroad from tbo capital to tho gulf of Fonseca, has bean approved by tho Salvador Con- ^Nicaraguan communities are much inter ested in the Into of tho bill now before the American Congress asking the incorpora tion of the Nicaraguan canal company. Fierola and Freda havo arrived hero, Pierola goes to live in Paris. During Pierola's stay in Lima repeated efforts were made to unite the leaders of tho Pe ruvian political parties. Tho effort was in vain. The Pierola party is the most pow erful and host organized, nnd was also the most popular. The adhesion of the Civil- tos to Pierola would havo mado a strong combination, able to expel a foreign ene my nnd submit to tha loss of the territory, but Pierola nod tho Civiltos were too far asunder, and any attempt to unite them only proved that the fact of reconciliation wss helpless, and Pierola is understood to have withdrawn to allow the formation of a great national party, untrammelled by the presence of any of the old political chiefs of the country". Just at this juncture, howovor, Genoral Prada returns to the coast. Bo leaves fir Guayaquil to-day, but hinted lie will go di rect to Lima and place himself in accord with the members of his old party, which is of considerable importance, nnd secure, if possible,the co-operation of tho Chilians. What was refused to Garcia, Calderon and Pierola, ho thinks may bo accorded to him, acd consequently the hero of Los DeMayo, seriously thinks of returning to bis coun try and once more appearing as its saviour. cd to Africanize that portion of the State. No act or utterance or ambition of mine can be truthfully held to show such ata tempt. My independent candidacy and election to Congress had and oan have np snch effect. Again, the deplorable death of Mr. Ronntree had no connection with a political cause. “We should feel better about tho matter if wo might justly lay tho blame of the entire transaction to hi3 (Mr. Speer's) door,” writes Mr. Albert Lamar. This genial and Christian wish serves to show the cordial feeling of Mr. Lamar to ward Mr. Speer, but tho troth is Mr. Speer is no more connected with the death of Mr. Ronntreo ithan was any other mem ber of Congress with any other breach of the peace in Georgia daring his term of service. No more, for instanoe, than was the representative of the Savannah district with the regretted but still remembered oc casion when, in that city, Mr. Wayne Rus sell. with tho palm of his hand, buffeted Mr. Albert Lamar on the face. I am no more responsible for tbe bloody tragedy in my city than was the Savannah repre sentative for the bloodless ex parte encoun ter in his. * Mr. Lamar continues: "But it is true, and it is about time for the people of Ath ens and the surrounding country to awaken to a knowledge of tho fact that they who have npheld and sustained this young man (Mr. Speer) in his anything but admirable career, may hive to bear a part of tho re- Rpou-ibiliiy for tho results which have fol lowed." Noun tbo animosity of Mr. Albert Lamar towards me is well understood, and is gen erally ascribed to tha fact that he was dis missed for inoompetency by the Demo cratic clerk of the forty-sixth Congress, and to the farther faut that my cousin, Mr. Eugene Speer, was appointed to tho vacant position, and held it while the Democrats hold tho House. I have been informed also that Mr. Lamar announced his purpose with Mr. Hanson’s paper “to drive me from public life.” To accom plish this ambition, ho charges mo and the men who havo voted for m-i with blood-guiltiness. Mr. Lamar should re flect that in this statement he is doing a cruel injustice to a community who are not in “public life,” and at whom he strikes with a viow to wound aud cripple me. He states that Mr. Rountree was killed by a ccmplo of negro politicians. Ho was per haps justifiable in this, as an Athons paper, the Banner- Watchman, made tho same statement, or rathor stated they were great “independent politicians.” This is untrue. The boy who did the killing was only nine teen years of age, and had never voted. His coadjutor came into the county and tho district einoe the last election. How indq- fonsible, therefore, is it to ascribe this crime to indepondentism in the ninth dis trict ? With the same propriety the rather frequent homicides iu Maoon for several years past maybe charged to the organized politics of that district, and if Mr. Lamar can find in his spleen to me and my family the justification of his slanders, what ex cuse has he to assail the high-minded and orderly people whom I represent ? My “career,” in the opinion of Mr. La mar, “is anything but admirable.” I oon- fses thnt I oftsn think, in looking back ward, that I might have done better, and I do not boost of my career. Such as it is, however, it is infinitely bettor and higher than that of Albert H. Lamar. I havo never been discharged by my own p irty from public office for incompetency, nor have I used the powers entrusted to mo to glut a detestable malice toward a man who had never injured me. The britliaut cor respondent, Mr. George Alfred Townsend! declares that Mr. Lamar said in a recent interview, that he, with deliberate purpose, mixed tho liquors whicii palsied tbe brain aud tongue of Herschel V. Johnson, when in the convention ho was pleading for the nuion against secession, and thus the pow erful aavocato of peace aud union was stricken down at the crisis of onr couutiy’s fate by the man who now traduces me and the people among whom I live, l’n.tok God my career does not seem admirable to Mr. Albert R. La mar. Let him not charge me with blood- guiltiness when I am innocent, while the furtive hand with which he held the stu pefying cup to tho lips of Herschel V. Johnson is stained with the torrents of blood in that terriblo wnr which tho latter was seeking to avert “Give rein,” says Mr. Lamai, “to tho un bridled ambition and passions of Mr. Speer nnd hi3 followers, and the classic walls of the university, within which now lies the bloody corpse of the first oflits chil dren murdered by negro, polititiora, will be spattered with tho blood of others in an effort to save them from tho hands of a mob of Afriotns, raised to murderers by the eloquence of Mr. Speer, in the re cital of his and their wrongs.” This is indeed “fine writ-ng.” It is mag. nificenh I am inclin'd to think that be fore penning this final and supreme para graph of his defamatory article, Mr. La mar must have borrowed information from some sonree—from what source those who know him cau judge.

Esiorx Steer IX THE COVXTRY. Am Interesting Letter From Bake Ctmty. Special Correspondence Telegraph an l Mes senger. In compliance with a promise of long standing to my friend, Col. Reuben Jones, I left Macon on Saturday last for a visit to his home in; Baker oounty. A few hours ride on the Southwestern railroad brought me to Albany, Ga., where I was met by Rev. A. M. Williams, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal chnrch at that place, and after dinner at the parsonage, Co!. Jones took charge of me and we left for Baker. Tho Colonel drove a beautiful span of bays, and wo bad a delightful drive. On onr way out we stopped at tho artesian well nnd sampled the water. U is good, and slightly mineral. It is being analyzed, and the analysis will soon be liven to the public. It is a success aoy- iow. and guarantees a bountiful suppl® of good, healthy, sweet-tasted water. The stream, which gives 30 gallons per minute, comes out like a bold, vigorous mountain spring. It is over 600 feet deep. Albany has need to bo proud of the artesian well, and we believd she is. The road from Albany to Col. Jones’is through the best portion of Dougherty and Baker counties and runs through a succes sion of large and well-managed planta tions. The recent cyclone crosse 1 the road about seven miles from Albany, utter ly demolishing houses, fences, trees and everything in tta way. Two honrs and a half behind the spank ing bsys brought us to the oomfortable and most popular home of Col. Reuben Jouee, one of tho most usefnl and successful men iu southweetern Georgia. Ho is one of the planters that raises his own provisions, His corn crib is never empty, and he has cotton, too, unsold. If etery farmer and planter in tho South had pursued suoh a jolicy, this sunny laud would to-day be far lappter and oar own entire losses by the war would have been made np. Order art of this plantation—to another car coupler. THE DOUBLE MURDER. By m Mysterious Stranger—m* Sec ond to Conceal tbe First. Jtichard IT. Clark, is Snnng South. Every lawyer of many years’ practioe, and every circuit judge who has served as much 03 a full term, can recall some one or more cases, either cinl or criminal, whioh were of more than ordinary interest, because of their dramatic or romantic in cidents. Of such, sumo are tragic, while others are comic. I have heard Mr. Ste phens say he would like the opportunity to write a book, to be entitled, “My Cases,” that he might thus perpetuate tho many interesting conrt trials, in which he had been counsel, during his long professional experience. When the writer of this was jndgo of the southwestern circuit of the State of Geor gia, in which was embraced nearly all the counties roi: making the Alban? circuit, he had bis lnrgest experience with murder cases iu the county of Mi chetl. Among the trials in that county at which he presided, was one where the prisoner—a farmer—shot another farmer, a prominent citizen of the connty, in tho broad day of light at his own door, with a double-barrel gun. An other, in which a highly respected citizen had snot in oold blood a young physician for a suspected interference with nis do mestic rights. Another, iu which a son had killed his father in a fight that«he o'd man of sixty five bad been premoditatodly provoked into, by a conspiracy of tho son with his sister, who aided and abetted, to prevent his contemplated marriage. In the cases first and last mentioned, tho pris oners were found not guilty, and in tho second, there was a mis-trial. But it is not about either of these cases I propose to write, but yet of another of darker hue iu which two murders ha t been committed at different times, tho second as a means of concealing the first. There resided at the then small village of Camilla, the county site of Mitchell county, Ga., not very long ago—but yet so long, tent since, children have been born and married, aud have had children born unto them—an otderly widow nam«d Woolley. Her humble abode was in the northern edge of the village. But humble as it was, it was he. own, and there she lived in all the comfort she deured, sur rounded by her cows, her pigs and her poultry. Another citizen cf Camilla wns tho “vil lage blaoksmitb,” an honest and _ hardy son of tho Emerald Isle, named Timothy O’Bryan. Timothy, somehow and some where, had tho misfortuno to loso ono of his legs, for whioh he bad substituted a reigns on every part or this plantation—to trouble about labor—plenty of it—and tho best. Good fat mules and norsee. Plenty of good milch cows, nnd milk and bntter without stint. All the early vegetables in great profusion. Indeed everything in tho louse, as well as out of it, denotes good maungement. Mrs. Jones, though an in valid, is a splendid housewife, and neat ness and order ara seen everywhere. Sunday morning, at an early hour, wo left for Newton, five and a half miles away, where Qol. Jones and his neighbors have about the best- Sunday-school in Georgia. Though not large, yet it is well managed, and is doing great good. Col.

Of late years tho attention of inventors has been directed to the perfection of a car coupler because of tbo great dangor to life and limb consequent npon tho operation of those now la uao. Upwards of two hundred kinds have been patented and onco thought to be the safest and host. As accidents from ooupling cars happen daily it is but fair to prc3ama that so far each inventor has over estimated the safety of his contrivanoe. ... .... But a Macon mechanic has, wo think, hit upon tho right idea, and while the prin ciple is not original, it is evident that it is forty per cent, cheaper Fran any cthe-, and yet combines the very best life and limb saving advantages of all tho others. The idea of thiB now invention, is tho regular drawhead, with a spiral spring whioh works aping or trigger, and this al lows tho link to be set to any anglo and tho cars to bo coupled automatically. This spring fits in any bumper, and can be made nt a cist of about soveuty.fivo cents. We have received a nest model ot this coupler from tho inventor, Air. Jessie Jor- dnn, a machinist at the Macon and Bruns wick railroad shops, and it is eimplo and effective in its operation. It is destined to euperseds ail others on account of *its cheapness, and being easily adapted to the standard drwh eads now in use on nearly all the railroads in the United States.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger:— It seems thnt tho unfortunate killing of Walter Rountree by a negro has been con strued in some parts of tho State, and es pecially in Macon, as the outcome ot tho bitter feolinj existing between the races here. There is, and has been no trouble in this city between tho whites and blacks. There fa. and has been no trouble betwoon tho students and tho negroes. During a four years connection with tho University in the capacity of a student, the writer has never seen ■ any disturbance between a member of tha college and a negro, and has heard of bnt two during that time,— ono, a trifling matter; the other, tho lato unfortunate and unforeseen calamity. In regard to tho latter, Messrs. Editors, os it has been remarked, it was aa affair likely to occur in any city in Georgia, and had it oocnrred cny where else it would have provoked tho samo outburst of indignation as this has; but it te a great mistake to suppose that bad b.oou exists botweon tho races here on that aceount. Th? murderers have been lodged to jail; no attempt on the part of whites to lynoh them, or on the part of negroes to re lease them has ever been made. Tho night of tbe shooting some fifty or more ne groes ntsem’a’ed in tho jail j'ard, bat they made no demonstrations of any descrip tion. Tho town has been qnict and will remain so; no one oxpects an outbreak, and if one occurs the authorities are well prepared to put it down immediately. The ne"rocs have, possibly, made idle threats, but no one lias {riven their utterances seri ous attention. Tho men of Athens are law-abiding, peaceful citaens, but when the majesty of tho law fa violated, or at tempts to disturb the peace of tho city are mado, (ho citizens will put such attompta down, quickl?*, promptly and quietly. Not ono single student lias left tho University because of this difficulty. Two have boon sent home, the faculty believing that homo authority would do much more towards reforming these two than collego <-;*c:p- line. What is more, none will leave. The strfdenta smile when they seo and read tho ssnsttional stories relative to the late ca lamity, and all regret the impuJonco of the authors of these pieces in laying them before tho public. They do no good, and thev will eventually, unless they are cor rected, do tho University of Georgia great harm. The students are prosecut ing thoir studies here quietl?; aud profit ably; everything fa progressing as well as at cnyitime in tho past; the town ta as quiet as it ha3 ..been ft r years. Your pa per has declared th»t it wishes the pros perity of our venerable institution of ioaru- in~. Then correct these sensational sto ries which will result in harm, for the writer, who is acquainted with tho particu lars of tho lato difficulty, can nsiure yon that it was not tho result of any political movement, or the outcome of any pouti- cal feeling between the races, but was sim ply an unfortunate occurrence which took place between nn insolent negro nnd an impulsive student.
