Harper's IFeekty says, ‘‘Stalwart means
spoils, bnt what does half-breed mean?” Well,
a half-breed is a politician just as eager for tlio
spoils as the other, bnt equally eager to make
men believe that he is not In the least anxious
on that point. He has all the vices of the out-
and-out spoils hnnter, with the vice of hypocri-
8 In addition. He Is a man who can snivel
rough the nose about civil service for four
yean or eight or twelve when he Is not In
power, and then cast civil service to all the
winds of heaves In the first half hour in which
be obtains a position that might enable him to
F >ut hit theories In practice If he were honest,
n fact, a half-breed In politics Is just like a
half-breed between two races—be has the vices

••I would like a sponge bath.”
"Ah, oh. a—will you please repeat; I did not

‘•I would like a good sponge bath, again de

1 Ko Mistake About CaysuiUhIi.
Cable Special.
All controversy as to whether the assassins
really Intended to mnr.ler Lord Frederick Cav
endish has ceased, now that it Is universally
understood that be was deliberately selected as
a victim. The latest intelligence indicates the
belief of the police that EarISi>enccralao would
have been murdered bad the opportunity fa
vored. Nobody longer dentes that the assas
sinations were planned for a distinct political
purpose. This was the Irish answer to Eng
land’s latest message of peace. Mr. Parnell's
■wilt asseveration that the murders were di
rected against his new policy is considered to
prove, if true, that the leadership of tho active
party baa passed out of his hands. Englishmen
are disposed to believe Mr. Parnell s present
abhorrence of the crime; nevertheless they hold
him responsible for the mnrden as the culmi
nation of a long aeries of assassinations which
he failed to condemn. His appearance in the
House Monday in the character of a mourner
evoked significant protests in several quarters.
The parliamentary proceedings, with that ex
ception. were deeply impressive throughout.
The demeanor of the country deserves the en
comiums the English press bestow. England,
Ilko her government, is still ready to gram
every moasnrp of Just relief to Ireland, hut the
proposal to msko Mr. Parnell head policeman
has ceased to be possible.

The Supreme Court nn<l the- Shirt
Collar
-a Xtw Fork Herald.
Tho United States Supreme Court has recov
ered from what at one time seemed an appall
ing possibility of contempt. A few days ago a
lawyer from Kansas waa duly presented and
admitted to practice, hJit after he left the room
it was whispered about that he had not worn
a shirt collar. Tills was bad enough, even al
though he hod called only for the purpose of
obtaining the right to plead, bnt cs he hod an
nounced that be would, on the next dny, ap
pear in a case before the court, his attire, or
lack of it, assumed a serious aspect. A collar
has come to be regarded as an Indispensable
article of wear. Some African potentates who
wear nothing else are strenuous on the subject
of collars, and there are southern climes in
which the shirt collar, assisted only by a pair
of spurs, is said to meet all requirements of full
dress occasions. If. then, a man will appear
once In a Supreme Court room without u col
lar. what article of attire may he not leave
off on bis next appearance? Thecase. in all its
gravity, was referred to Mr. Justice Grav, who
while at the bead of the Massachusetts judicia
ry savod the dlgnltv of the court and common
wealth in a case somewhat similar. An imme-
— ue investigation followed, and when the col
-less man was enable to prove that be was
* bare-throated in obedience to a vow, or lxtcause
he had been crossed In love, or collared by the
police, or lost ihe check that bis Chinese lann-
drymr.n bed given him, his chances of pleading
next day were very thin. Suddenly, however,
It was explained thjtf the lawyer had an affec
tion of the throat which prevented him wearing
a collar: then tho ruffled dignity of the court was
replaced by gracious consideration. Tbe law
yer wlthou: i ooUar bis reason to bo grateful,
but so also has ths court, for there are portions
of ths human apparel that ore not so amenable

Wasnctoiog, May 18.—The Senate

imburse certain citizens of Henderson,
Tennessee, fur excessive aasMaments

The C per cent, land bill waa taken up ns
unfinished business. Mr. Sanlbnry’s
amendment, prohibiting the States receiv
ing money from applying any of it to pay
agents employed to procure it, was modi
fied by Mr. Bock by adding thereto tbe
words: "Except this bo in according with
laws of the State passed after the passage
of this act," Adopted. J
Mr. Morgan offered an amendment,
which was accepted by the friends of the
bill, requiring the payment of 15 per cent.,

public building at Greensboro, N. C.,

The House then i t urned consideration
of the bank charter extension bill, the

ment offered by Mr. i‘ ictner, of Missouri,
reducing the period for which banks may
extend their charters from twenty to ten
years. The amendment was rejected—yeas
92, nays 118.
Mr. Robert-on, of Louisiana, moved to
reduoe the period to two year, and, stating
that he would aval! himself of the latitude
allowed to debate, proceeded to make some
remark, about “the broken banks of Mio-
nistippi,” praising the patriotic message of
the President on that subject. He then
withdrew ilia amendment.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, offered his
amendment, providing that ths jurisdic
tion for fails hereafter brought by or
against any national banking association
(exoept suits between them and the United
States, or its ofSoers or agouti,) shall be
the same as the jurisdiction for suits
brought by or against n bank not organized
under any law of the United States which
does or might do n banking business,
where such national bonking association
may be doing business when such suits
may be began. Agreed to withuat division.
Mr. Randall offered an amendment pro
viding that in the organization of any
banking association intended to replaco any
existing banking association and retain
ing tbe name thereof, the holders of stock

selts, the foliowing amendment was insert
ed nt the end of section 7 of ihe bill: “And

finally closed.” Section 7 has reference to
banking associations which do not avail
themselves of the provisions of tho act.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, offered tho fol
lowing amendment as au additional sec
tion to tho bill : “That national banks now
organized or hereafter organized, having a

Died in Macon, Ga., May 8tb, 1832, Mrs.
loin Estelle Munroo, beloved wife of Na
than C. Mnnroe and daughter of Judge
Henry G, and Mrs. Mary Ann Lamar, in
the 33d year of her age.
Mrs. Mnnroe was born in Macon, Ga.,
May 14th, 1849. She came to Spalding
county 03 a bride fourteen years ago.
Iiovely in person, of engaging manners,
with a frank truthfulness, aud childlike
trustingness of nature, and a heart that
“knew no guile,” she could but win the
love and oontideneo of all around her.
Many friends will weep in heart, who
can not stand in person beside her new-
made grave iu beautiful Rose Hill. Many
will tliink tearfully and prayerfully of the
desolate home, the bereaved husband and
six motherless little ones to whom no hu
man love, however tender, can ever com
pensate for their great loss.
Uotr comforting in looking back upon
a life so dear to us, to feel how well
fulfilled wore all her duties here—how
when prosperity beamed bright upon her,
she ever found it “more blessed to give
than to receive,” how sho was always
ready to servo the church of her love and
communion, and her homo seemed bask
ing in sunshine from her g ad yonng heart.
Then inter, when adversity came upon
them and this world’s losses, how un
flinchingly, how nntnuruinringly, she stood
the storm with brave, undaunted spirit.
She proved .“how safoly the heart of her
husbHud could (rust in her,” for she whs
tho true woman “whoae price is above ru
bies.” How strong and beautiful the wifely
love, the mother-love, that conld endure
and “tsope on,” and make of her little
home h-re a temple of love, which was bat
the vestibule to Hoavou. Such a spirit
h is bnt passed from grace to glory. Three
years ago they moved to Macon, whore her
life p.itued away nmong loving relatives
and triends.
Tho life that socm so short to us, to
have left so muoh work undone, so gladly
03 she did it ail while bore, mnst havo been
ripe for the “great harvest,” or the angel
r .-apera would not have b6en sent to gather
tho golden grain.
We have laid our dear one down to rest.
With the sweet spring flowers on her loving
breast.
Sho was called ere the joy of life’s day was
done.
Ere the zenith of hope had reached its noon.
'Mid tlic friends of her life she is gently laid.
Among those with whom her children play’d,
Aud we know tho’ the heart ties are sadly
riven, •
Onr darling has gained a home In heaven.

A Bcvlew of Candidate* in Lauren*
Special Cor. Telegraph and Messenger.
Dublin, M«y 16.—The political caldron
has ceteed to simmer, bathos gone straight
ont to boiling over. Onr local papers, for
somo reasons, have very little to say. The
Castile. I iie'icve, has onoe or twice had
something oc the subject That abomina
ble system of rotating in electing State
Senators gives the chance to this oounty
this y- nr for nominating a man to repre
sent the sixteenth district. Several weeks
ago there were several gentlemenaclamor-
ing for tho official teat. Of these, all have
been knocked off exoept Colonel O. S. Guy
ton and Hon. H. M. Burch, and theso gen
tlemen hold fast with the tenacity of a ball
deg. The people are not satisfied, although
the waves have receded and left these
Solon*, on the shore. The former gentle
man is in every respect competent, but by
some means has rendered hiirsalf unpopu
lar. Tbe latter gentleman, though a clever,
honest farmer, is lacking in abi'ity—he is
teaching too high for the fodder. The
race between the two will bo dose.
Guyton will beat in the distriot but Bnrch
in this county, and this, according to the
rotation plan, constitutes the regular nom
ination. It is thought that there will be
another candidate—a black horse.
To represent this county in the lower
house, there is a regiment of candidates.
Judge J. IV. B. Wolfe wants it almost too bad
to digest well, bnt the Judge unfortunately
is cot a popular man. I don’t think his
chances are the best. I woqld dislike to
insure them for tho Judge. Dennis Mc
Lendon has been spoken of by a few, bnt
my Hdvice to him is to wait until uncle
tieab BrnceweU’s term as justice expires,
and then ran to sit down in his chair. Tho
name of Captain H. Perry has been very
K rominentiy spoken of, but I don’t think
a wonts it much, or at least he won Id
tike to have it provided he was already
elected. He would make a strong race
should he decide to run. J. E. Hightower,
a yonng lawyer, it is rumored, was nom
inated by the colored people Inst Saturday.
Uls nocturnal dreams of promenading the
classic ball* mast wake to disappointment.
Rev. Warren Miller, col., has been trying
for some time to get the consent of bis
people, that he mny make the race. The
leading colored men Hay they will not snp-
rort one of their race. A leading oolored
man, cousin of • tho Rev. Miller, 6ays he
will not sUDport him under any circum
stances. Other* have spoken of Frank
Taylor, Frank Fuller, Wm. B. Jones and
others—ell ** available men. It is hard to
say who will be elected.
For county officers, except ordinary,
(and Jndge Duncan has an entailed inter
est in this) there are at least from three to
ten candidates for each* office. One thing
i« cortain—there can bnt one be elected.
The colored people held a miss meeting
at the coart hotuo last Saturday. The in
tent of their meeting seems to have been a
good one. The negroes in this coanty aro
nnder better control than in any coanty—I
venture to say—in the State.
Your paper is circulated somo in Dublin,
and would do much better did yon have n
representative here occasionally.

Senoia, May 18.—The fire lost night be-
K n on the west side of Main street, in the
r-room of Mr. John Perkin*. It extend
ed up Main street until it reached the
large brick building of M. H. Conob, where
it was gotten under control. The people
of this plsce have never had to conteud
with the ‘‘monster”Xfire before, when it
seemed to as-rame snch an tfSgrv attitude.
Mr. Perkins’ honse was of wooden con
struction, and owing to the fact that we
have had considerable dry weather for the
E ast few woeks, it horned like a powder
ease. I suppose it was not
fifteen minutes from tho time
tbe fire started in Mr. Perkins’ store until
it was communicated to the other bouses
along the street. The greatest excitement
prevailed, though there were enough oool
heads in the moltitnde to gain control of
the fire. The loss to Mr. Perkics is heavy,
though he carried an insurance of about
{ 1,600. His stock, however, was worth
4,000. Mr. John U. Sell, a harness
maker, loss abont £2,(00. This leas
comes heary to Mr. Fell. Messrs.
Carmichael ani Atkinson suffered
greatly. Their honse burned down, their
stock partly burned and the remainder was
either stolen or damaged, that i* tbe most
of it. ,pt course they saved some of their
good*.' Their loss is estimated nt at $2,000.
It falls heavily upon Mr. G., he having
como t > onr place bnt a short while ago
with some capital and but little experi
ence in business. We can’t know
at this writing how the damages were, but
it is thought to be between ten and five
thousand dollars in all. Onr people did
their work bravely. Ttone dared to stand
aloof, but all laid hold aud did all in their
power. Too maoh praise cannot be given
to some of the young men of the piaoe for
theft untiring efforts to pave the town from
being totally burned np. I wish I conld
g ive yon the names of these yonng men,
nt they all took hold witn such a zeal and
worked so heroically that I cannot disorim-
in ate. Therefore, I jn-t say that they
aro tho noblest set ot toong men in the
world—some even standing upon ths brick
walls of M. H. Conch’s honse and defying
the flames to make further progress.
Standing with backets of water, they liter-
el ly eta; ed the onward march of king fire,
altboogh the walls were hot even to rod
hout and tho bricks were rolling
off. They stood steadfast to their
post of duty and contested every inoh of
ground over which king fire proposed to
make his march. By their soroio efforts,
aud their efforts alone, was ths town
of Senoia, saved from a total destruction by
fire, althongb. I do not mean to ssy a word
against any other person who was present.
Those who brought the water did well, bat
I must say that our colored brethren as a
class did shabbily; some did not, but the
majority did nothing at *11 to check the
raging flames. Ou the contrary, while tho
whites were attempting to got the
Mods of their ue ghborsont of danger,
thrusting them iu the street, the colored
foree, or some of them, deplored thau-
setve* into squads of stealeis. The ground
floor of the building Mr. Barnes occupied
as a store was tbe ground of contention
between the fire and the foree on top of
tho houses. T <at was tho pivotal point in
the contest, the piaoe wboro the nro sur
rendered. Mr. Barnes lost greatly by tho
removal of goods aud the water that was
need. In the same building np stairs
Mre. Arnall kept her millinery estab
lishment, which was greatly damaged by
removal. It is not reasonable to snppo«9
that a foil tine of ladies’ gear conld he re
moved withoot considerable loss. Mr.

floor. His los3 and Mrs. Arcoll’s is not
