From the F. ee Frets September 7th, 1879.
Vto pi went the following letters for the
Information of the people, especially the
young men, as to their doty in the present
Congressional campaign. As regards the
letter to Mr. T. Warren Akin, from Mr.
-Stephens, we knew it was written to him
mid our.call for it was not “unwarranted,”
as we knew that the distinguished author
was not averse to its publication. If we
are “unwarranted” we regret it, as we have
no desire to use anything that is forbid*
don. The letter of Mr. Stephens to Mr. J.
A. Maker is about in substance as the one
to Mr. Akin. If there is anything wrong
in that we do not see it.
Cabtersville, Ga., September 4,1878.—
To the Free. Frets: Your i-aue of the 6th
inst. contains the following editorial para
graph :
Stephens wrote to our young
T. Warren Akin, in reply to
towni
inquiries he made of Mr. Stephens
gard io tho state of things in the seventh,
and Mr. Stephens's opinion as to the
courso a young man should tako in tho
content in this district. Mr. Stephens says
ho is entirely willing that tho letter should
be published. Let us havo the letter."
\our intrusion upon personal privacy is
quite as characteristic as it is unwarranted.
My loiter to Mr. Stephens was private. It
contained no request to allow the publica
tion of bis reply. Ilis answer I consider
also as private*. It has lo intimation that
its distinguished author expected or de
sired it* publication.
Whon I wish Mr. Stephens' spormission
io publish his letter 1 will apply to him
for it. When Mr. Stcj hem dt-Mres it-s
publication I presume he will conform to
the courtesy prevailing among gentlemen
and intimate his desire directly to sug
gest, tli.*t 'he is accessible to any one wh*
umy do-ire to address him; and shonld ho
concludo to enlighten the people of this
district with nn ail hominem argument,
your columns would doubtless be thrown
open to him with that singular partiality
which has characterized your editorinl
conduct during this campaign. Douht-
ti-«, too, auy communication tho distin
guished gentleman might favor you with,
would ix in bcoottfol contrast to your ad
hominem arguments of two years ago.
I only writo this reply to tho insinua

mand for my private corre-pondcnce.

A. II. Stephens—Dear Sir: You have
doubtless been consulted concerning tho
political division nnd excitement in this,
the seventh district, and as no one doubt*
cither your put.luti-m or forethought, u
great many who desire to do right would

in this Congressional race. Who would

would you support him? Withers nn ex-

You may have written letters to private
parties giving jour view* in this campaign,

It you condescend to answer my letter
wiU you give tr.o permission to publish your
reply if i so desire? As I havo evor ad
mired your statesmanship and indorsed
yonr career, I hope now to net from ycur
advice. Very respectfully,
last week elected president of the Alabama
State Agricultural and Mechanical College f
by tho board of directors of that institu
tion, which is located at Auburn, Ala.
This, tho highest educational institution
in the State of Alabama, is to be congratu
lated upon the ncci-sion of l’rof. Itronn to
its faculty, and the announcement of his
election a> d Acceptance was received with
unbounded enthusiasm and gratification,
if V,y m;ij judge by till) following extract
from n letter handed us by a former stu
dent of this college:
”1 most tell yon how delighted and hap-
_ we are, that all oar doubts and uncer
tainties are at an end, and that Col. Broun
has been elected and accepted. We bad a
perfect ovation ye-terday, and we have
not yet settled down. The feeling of sat
isfaction is universal—the town's people
were in favor of him ; tho faculty unani
mously so, the studeut'Jal-o.and the alum
ni. I never saw anything like it. All
during commencement Cel. Broun was the
theme of every tonguo, nnd each face wore
and expression of anxions and intense ex
pectancy. We exp*?* great things of him,
and wo know we sh 11 not be disappointed.
When Col. Barnet, tho chairman of tho
board, rose in the chapel yesterday nnd
made the announcement of his election
nad acceptance, I thought tho people would
never be through npplauding. Even the
strangers and visitors seemed to havo
canght the infection, and shared in the
general enthusiasm.
Frui. Tironn's superior qualifications,the
social standing of himself and family,
mnko it a matter of sinoere regret to tho
Vanderbilt and tho citizens of Nashville
that ho has decided to accept this flattering
call to another State. We understand,
however, he does not leave tho city till
September, bis family going with him at
that time.
This is the fourth vacancy which has oc
curred in Vanderbilt faculty within a short
while, and none will be more difficult to

Glorious Old Cumberland I si it ml and
Ha Pleasures.
It may not bo generally known that
Cumberland Island to now in daily com
munication with tho outside world. Tho
boat makes regular trips now, and thus
parties can leave Macon at any time and
make connection at Brunswick.
Fiom those who have just returned from
the island, we leant that the weather is de-
lighttul and the fishing good, there bcirg
plenty of shrimp bait. Tho lover of good
‘ Ling should take in the island.
The following letter has jast been receiv.
ed from Mr. Nat Harris:
Editors Telegraph and Messenjeri I
have jast returned from s trip to Macon’s
seaside resort, Cumberland Island. The
crowd down then is cot large, bat is pleas
ant and in the best of spirit*. The accom
modations are much better than last year.
The fish bite, the sea bi'da are tame, and
tho huckleberry bushes are loaded ovith
npo fruit. Tho mele visitors wear blue
hunting shirts, but the females cm dress
in any style they please. The sea voyage
going and coming is just about long
enough nud exciting enough to satisfy
those in'aodera like my self who are afraid
of too mnch salt water, and then the bath
ing is the best on the continent. Traveled
gentry who have visited the place toll me
that the beach on Cumberland- Island is
surpassed by none of tho famous watering
places in the United tita'e*. Edgar Bo's
has fitted up good bath-house.*, and ea-
peeiaily has built an arbor near the brach
for the beuefit of those who wish to look
on merely, without “toying with the mane
of old oojan." 1 did not see nor hear of n
mosquito or sandfly. Altogether this is
decidedly a pleasant resort, cool and in
vigorating.
The little steamboat “Islander” now
rnna regularly between Brunswick nnd
Camberland Island. She is a staunch,
trim boat—a side wheeler, and her Pilot
informed me that she was well fitted for
the service, and perfectly safe. She has
been caught in two or three gales sine*
•he entcrid upon the ran, and behaved
admirably—in fact she surprised the pilot,
who is an old and experienced navigator
of these waters. The seafaring men
iabont Brunswick told me that she was as
good a boat, it not even better, than the
Vittla Marts*-, which is high praise, I
found a portion of the wharf at High
Point broken down, but the tide was high
and we easily made the landing on the
part of the wharf yet left. There is not
much difficulty in getting the passengers
ashore. Home trie, sure way will always
be devised, nntU the wharf is restored or a
I new one built. The courteous officials of
the Macon A Brunswick road nio doing
all in their power to make this a popular
retort. It ought to be Hell patronized. I
Crops looked fine on the road. Isaw

lion, John L. Woodard, Dooly; Mr.
\Wm. Bronson,Houston; Mr. D. W. San
ford, Crawford; Mr. J. M. White, Lau-
Irou—Gentlemen : Having received your
letters, with others of a similar nature,
asking mo what courso I intend to pursue
in reference to Congressman at large, I
feel it due to answer you plainly and unre
servedly. I reply to yon, as I have to
every ono who has written ms—I shall not
seek the position. I cannot ontor into a
personal contest for it, yet I woa'd not de
cline the honor should the convention ten-
derittomo. I do not desire any strife
over my name. I prefer peace and har
mony, and would subordinate personal as
pirations nnd ambition to the unity and
success of the Dsmocratio party. I havo
teen prompted also to thisoonrso, because
I havoporsonal friends who aspire to the
position, any ono of whom would do honor
to it and tho State. 1 do not desire to an
tagonize them, perhaps at the expense of
harmony and good feeling. This is no
time for dissension and strife. Important
elections nro npon us, ami nothing ehonld
bo dono to endanger onr success.
The party has not entirely recovered
from the bitterness of tho last campaign.
I do not wish to becomo a “bone of con
tention” again. Somo years ngo I aspired
to i>osition. I saw tho majority of the
people were against me, yet it was urged,
under the required two-thirds vote,the will
of that majority could bo thwarted. I de
clined to bo a party to such a contest, and
determined that as far as it was in my
power tho will of the i»eople should be
carried out. Two years ago, in our State
convection, we had strife, which, owing to
passionate and imprudent speeches, solid
ified parties and resulted in serious di
vision in onr ranks. It is known to rnnny
1 did all in ray powor to maintain harmony
then, and when pi evented from following
tho ilietato* of my own judgment, I urged
those personal friends to whom I could
appeal, to abandon me and make a
nomination and save the party. Some
yielded to my aoqnest, indorsed as it was
bv their own sense of propriety, and had
all in that convention been prompted by
similar motives, we would have b*en spar
ed a contest in Georgia which reflected no
credit upon the Demcratlo party. I desire
no sneh straggle again over mr name, and
for that reason I say I do not desire to en
ter into a contest for the podtion. If the
party wish to confer npon me the honor of
Congressman at large, they will of “their
own acoord” give it to me, and I will ac
cept it. If they prefer to confer it upon
another, I will without a murmur do. as I
did in the dark days of Georgia when we
were struggling to reveno the State from
Republican rule nnd reconstruction op-
prtM-sion, fall into the ranks, and as a pr
vain citizen, go with the foremost ini
every Congiessional district in Georgia,!
following the banner and fighting as val
iantly as I may be able the battles of a
harmonions and united Democratic party.

Tho Cotton Caterpillar.
■ Editors Telegraph and Messenger:—]
There appeared in yonr daily of Jnne 27th
|an interesting letter on the cotton cater
pillar, from Capt. John P. Fort After
stating the pecuniary loss to the State of
Georgia by the ravage# of the caterpillar,
and referring to the insect enemies of the I
I worm, be details an important incident, as
[Late last fall I obtained a cotton moth
and carefully secured it in a small box.
|On examining it toward the apring, I found
that a parasite was in the moth when cap
tured, nnd ou careful examination with a
good microscope, I found that the para-
sito had lived some time within the body of
the moth, having devonrtd the inner por-l
tionof the body nnd emerge-l from a round
orifice in the centro ofthebaek. •! regret
very much that the parasite had escaped. 1
About Jt<G0 the i>otAto beetle was dis
covered iu Nebraska and Iowa. It ad
vanced eastward fifty to seventy miles a
year until it has spread all over the Wes
tern, Middle and Ea-torn States, and has
oven crossed into Europe. Such*n calami
tous insect iuvasion has scarcely boon
known in history. The Irish pot ito seemed
* be doom ‘d. The vigorous application
Baris green and of other inneons wan
only remedy for jear-. Within a few
years, however, many in-ect enemies have
ilevolopod and multiplied, and the power
am sure that the moth was the tree Aletio.'
I suggest, and it is for that purpose I
write this letter, that those who have op-
some of the
s, and if they

together with the parasite, to thoentomo

Jast two years ago, when the eflort was
nelng made to force the nomination of A.
IL Colquitt npon the Democratic party of
Georgia in convention assembled in At
lanta, and after the twenty-ninth ballot
bod been taken without result,Mr. Walsb,a
Colquitt delegate from Richmond county,
(now for Stephens), offered several resolu
tions on tho morning of the sixth dsy,
the second of which lain words following
*(3) Whereas, After a long and tedious
session of this convention and continuous
balloting, it appears that no nomination of
a candidate for governor can be made
under the two-thinls rule f therefore, bo it
llesotced, that this convention recost mead
to the people of Georgia, Governor Alfred
II. Colquitt as the Deaocratio coudldale
for the office of governor at the ensuing
election, provided that th‘a resolution
shall not go into effect nutit three ballots
shall have been had under the two-thirds
rule, and It is demonstrated that no nomi
nation can be effected thereby,” (Seethe
Atlanta Constitution's report ot the pro-
edlfk sixth day )
“The reading of the resolution created
much excitement.
“Mr. Walih said the argument was ex
hausted. and he called ths previous ques
tion on hie motion to suspend the rules.

t may be determined the kind and nature
of the parasite.”
| Previous to the year 1878, when the govl
erament commission began its labors, no
parasitic enemies of the cotton caterpillar
were known to entomologists. Many
caterpillars were known lobe destroyed by
birds, waspe, and other external enemies. I
An ichneumon parasite also bad been seen
by intelligent observers at the Booth, bat
had not come to the knowledge of self
enlists. The investigations of the coml
| mission iu 1K78-'J brought to light thirteen]
parasitic enemies of the caterpillar. Of I
these, on* destroys the eggs of _ the worm j
and the remaining twelve ‘
caterpillar or the chrysalis. W I
Tho peculiar destructive powers of the
parasitio enemies over those of the exUr-l
nal enemies, as birds, wasps ate., aral
shown in tha fact that the latter catch ana
destroy a caterpillar occasionally as part
of their varied food, wherr.as the parasites
spend their Uvea in deporiling their nu
merous eggs upon or in the bodice of cat-
erpillsrs. Tbe young hatched from these
eggs, borrow into the caterpillars, and feed
upon their fatty parts. Borne mature rap
idly and isene from the caterpillar*, which I
die in that stage. Others mature more
•lowly, and the caterpillar peseta into the
chrysalis stage, before D succumbs. As tbe
caterpillars form the sole food of these par-
aritee, and as tbe Utter lay hundreds of
•eg* and have ecvoral brood* in a season,
it will be seen that tbe paroeific enemies
I of the cotton-worm contribute noitffi
keep it in check.
Tbe importance of the fact Chronicled
by Captain Fort will be scan by the follow
ing sUtemeut of the operations of these
thirteen parasites. As to seasons, tto e/gf
parasite has been observed in the ■■■
active also in tie I
the tachina and other files areL... ■
while tbe ichneumons appear intheUte
fall. As to tbe stages of life, they are all
confined to the rgg, the larva and the chrys
alis. None disturb ths mature or moth
\stage. But the moth preverted by Csptain
Fort seems to have harbored a parasite
some kind. If farther observations devfl
lop it a* a t.ue parasite of tbe cotton moth
in the late fail, the round of inseet enemies
•f the Utter will be complete. It wiilffid
reen to be hounded to dealb, in all seasoi
and in ail stages cf its life, by minute eJPI
I mice, against which it baa no defense. Ad
vancing northward from iU winter quar-
Iters along tbe immedUte borders of the

ferred to tho investigation carried on by

Forty-fourth Congress, and with jut men
tioning him by name alluded in terms of

tnorne, of Tennessee. Sinking of the met
who headed tho committees in that Con
gress, bo said: “If there is a man who
was accused of elcaling school finds io his

OUITEAU'S BODY.
Washington, July C.—A report of tho
autopsy npon Guiteao, signed ly acting
assistant t-nrgoon of the army, Dr. J. H.
Lamb, has l»een forwnrdo<I to Philadelphia
for publication in the .NVu-s. The
opening paragraph describes it a* tho of
ficial rej>ort of the autopsy, but it does not
n to whom the rej»ort was made, nnd
it lacks the signature* of Dr*. Some™ and
Hnrtigiin, who were de-munled by Distnet
Attorney OoikhlU aa the n«>vociate* of
Lamb in making the autopey,
and who were present nt tho diAaoo*
tion of GuiteAa'a body. In ntterance-*
to newspaper men Dr. Lamb declines
to reoognize theso two physicians ns
having any right to a voice in making
the report, nnd no prepared tho document
without consulting them in any way.
District-Attorney Cork lull, on tho other
hand, say* Dr. l^unb had no nathority
to net independently of the above nnrnod
physicians and the latter annouuce.their
intention of preparing another report,
which will bo the majority report. Dr.
Lamb's action in tha* ignoring the other
physicians was a surpriso to them nnd to
Corkhili. Dr*. Bomera and Hartignu
affirm that Lamb's report disagrees
in important particulars from notes taken
hy Lhenmlve* and by other physicians
rosent at tho post-mortem, bat Dr. Lnmb
as po»ses*ion of thoso notea and decline*
to permit the other surgeon* to see them.
1 ho latter Aceordirgly will prepare their
report fmm duplicate notos and other
memoranda, and from momory. Dr. Lamb
in hi* report states that it is made in no-
eordanco with a request from Rev. Mr,
Hicks- The roport is entirely too technical
to be intelligiblo to tL^ gu::ornl reader, ex
cept as to points which havo already
been telegraphed, to-wit, that tho
masdes of tho nock were torn asunder,
bnt that the bone was not broken; that the
brain woigbed 40K ounces, nnd that tho
spleon was nbnormnlly large. Upon thi*
report tho Medical Sews has based Ini edi
torial tn which it sate that thoso who ox-
•octet! to demonstrate tho assassin's crim-
nal irresponsibility by ths changes in his
brain will have rather a difficult task; that
if they expected to find such changes in
thx structure of tho brain as attach to Die
organ* of chronic insane persons they nro
certainly disappointed. Borne deviations
from tho typically normal brain nro
referred to in tho roport, but they have
nb-obitel) no figtiilimlKHi fiom tho point
of view of mental dernngoment. It may
be affirmed of Gaittaa's brain that it pro-
sented little evidcnco of pathological
change, ns the brain of any ono of his ngo

Washington, July 7.—The Senate, early
iu the morning hour, resumed considera
tion of the river and harbor bill, the ques
tion being npon the Hennepin canal
project reported Uy tho Senate committee.
General debate followed, participated in
by Messrs. Logan, Vest, Hawley, Sherman,
Allison, Dawes, Windom, Butler and Mor
gan. Tbe Northwestern Senators favored
tire project and the Southern and Eastern
opposed it, bnt upon different grounds.
Mr. Morgan, in urging the nnconstitation-
nlity of tho canal rchtrne, said its pnrpoeo
was to dticrimlna'o against ona port in
favor of another by diverting traffic from
New Orleans to Chicago and breaking bulk
at the latter point. Without action, the
Senate went into executive eoeslog and
adjourned.
novtE.
Tto House, at 11:16 a. ro., went into
committee of tho whole (Ka«-on, of Iowa,
in the chair) on tho sundry civil appro
priation hill, the general debate to closo
at 2 o'clock. As no member claimed the
floor in order to continue the general de
bate, the dsrk proceeded to read the bill
by sections for amendments. An smend-
men t was adopted appropriating $35,0U0
fur tbe erectioa of a public building at
Dill,4-. Texas.
Mr. Batterworlh, of Ohio, injected, a po
litical speech into the debate, tn the oourso
of which he went into a consideration of
the etreumitance* attending hi* election
to the fort) .fourth Congre**, and created
considerable amusement by his descrip
tion of the method* which he asserteJ
had been pract.ced by the Democratic
party.
Mr. Cox, of New Yo’k, interruptod to in
quire what Batterworlh thought of the re
moval of Mr. timitii, internal revenue col
lector st Cincinnati.
Mr. Ualterworth did bot give a direct
answer, bat in the ojarae of bis reply iaid
to Cox: “You have a dtotriol ea thoroughly
rotten that it votes the Democratic ticket
by instinct-”
This angered C« somewhat, and he re
plied that each a remark came with bod
grace from a gentleman who bad seduced a
man, who, according to the gentleman,
was a Democratic prostitute.
In reply Batterworlh made an allusion
which is not of a nature fit for publication,
and which waa characterized by Cos aa tha
remark of a blackguard. Bobeeqoently an
effort was made to have the colloquy
omitted from the record, and il was ac
complished, though cot until a debate had
gone on for some tine of such a character
ladies to retire from the galleries.
Mr. Batterworlh concluded his speech
with an attack upon the Democratic party
ozul its profusions of civil service reform.
