Debate on the rib John Porter Bill,
Washixotos, February 11.—In the course
his speech in the House in support of
Fffz John Porter bill, Mr. Haynes, of
jw Hampshire, said it had been his for-
jte to have been a member of the first
ion regiment that had passed over the
id between AVarrenton and Bristoe sta-
j, and he remembered it as a very ordi-
y country road in very bad condition and
air. No man could tell him that it was
road and spacious turnpike where troops
ild march in unbroken file, for he knew
he contrary. He had been on the picket
on the night of August 27, and a Yan-
picket in front. Stonewall Jackson had

nt one conclusion, that Gen. Porter

ng his march. The fact that Gen. Por
tia l avoided a blunder by the exercise of
Tetiun, for which ho should have been
iked and applauded, bad been made
of the points upon which he
been tried, convicted, cashiered anil
r-ici i. He (Mr. Haynes) refused to

udiee to bias his judgment in the mat-
The strongest prejudice wh : ch he had
entertained had been against Gen.

ded to examine the case. He did

A HANCOCK FUND STARTED.
Tbs Friends of the Dead General Coming
to the Relief of llUFetnllj,
New Yobk, February 11.—General Han
cock baa left hia family without meana.
He died poor, and the fact being known to
his friendsuud comrades a subscriptions
fund has been started for his widow. The
plan was originated by ex-police commis
sioner General \V. F. (Baldy) Smith, Gen
eral J;B Fry, William Burns and T.‘L.
Crittenden. J. Pierrepont Morgun is treas
urer of the fnnd. Already the fund hes
begun its growth, these sums having bei n
[signed:] Samuel J. Tilden (head of tho
list) $1,100, William It. Grace $500, M. 1!
Brown $250, John D. Crummius $250. The
subscription paper reads thus in opening:
“Another great man ha. died poor—
another noble woman has been left with a
meagre support, though she shared the for
tunes of her husband and did her full
part iu making his fame.”
Phimdeuphia, February 11.—As soon as
it became known here that Gen. Hancock
hod no adequate fortune to leavo hia
widow, a movement was at once set on foot
to raise a fnnd for her benefit This fund
has been stinted by a gift of $1,000 each by
A- 8. Drexel and Geo. W. Childa, and the
gifts have been conpled with a promise of
more, if necessary. The Ledger to-morrow
will contain the foUowing editorial article
upon the subject:
The movement to raise a fund for the
widow of Gen. Hancock took form as sooq
as the suggestion from Philadelphia, to
which we referred yesterday, reached his
friends in New York city. A circular was
prepared and issued without delay over the
signatures of Gens, James B. Fry, F. L.
Crittenden, William F. Smith and W. W.
Bums, in which they state, ‘Liberal and pat
riotic citizens have suggested to
tho intimate friends of Gen. Han
cock and his widow that a fund
be raised for the benefit of his family. We,
knowing Gen. Hancock’s circumstances and
the drafts upon hia pay by tho endless char
ities to which he responded, especially those
resulting from the civil war, earnestly com
mend the suggestion. The language of the
cir ular just quoted puts the caBe in very
moderate terras-. The appeal may be placed
upon mnch stronger grounds, and has been
so pnt in a letter to Mr. Childs from James
11. Fry, one of the signers of tbe foregoing
circular. ‘You will observe,’ wrote Gen.
Fry, ‘that the statement upon the sub
scription list is general in its terms.
I may say to you that the facts
os to General Hancock’s financial affairs
would justify stronger lungnagn than we
used. While he wiw economical in all
things, tho demand that pressed upon him
for aiding destitute followers and old sol
diers were so constant und heavy that in
spite of all he could do he fell behind. The
salary of his lowest clerk would met all
that ho and Mrs. Hancock spent on them
selves. All the rest of their income went
for the good of those who needed it. I
need not point out to you the goodness of
heart that is the cause of tho present pov
erty of General Haucock’a widow. No
words aro needed to add either force or dig
nity to that statement made with soldier's
directress and the fore of plain tmth. We
trust that tbe appeal made in sncli simple
terms and backed with such force of gener
ous fact may receive a hearty responso as
in the case of General Hancock's illustrions
comrades."

BLUNDERING POLICEMEN
By Tlieir Stupidity Cause the Burnldf of a
Number of Horses.
St. Louis, February 11.—J. P. Mnltalis’s
livery and sale stables were burned at an
early this morning. The fire originated in
the bay-loft from some unknown cause,
and spread so rapidly that it was well under
way before the tire department arrived.
Tho employes of the establishment who
were on the scene at tho time tnrned their
attention first to saving the horses, sixty-
five iu number, and had taken seven of
them from the burning bnilding when two
policemen arrived, and thinking that the
employes were thieves, clubbed them into
insensibility, and thus destroyed tbe only
chance of saving the stock, and the remain
ing titty-eight were burned to death.
Another Violent Demonstration—Stores
Sacked by the Slob.
[By Anglo-American Cable.
London, February 10.—The estimate
heretofore made of the losses inflicted by
the mob on Monday appears to have been
greatly too small. Official estimates places
the amount of damage at £80,000. Various
socialistic and labor reform societies threat
en -to have a monster demonstration at
Hyde Park next Suturday, to be nttended
by contingents of laborers from the coun
try. Shops are being closed and barricad
ed everywhere throughout the city.
News was received at 3 p. m. in thia city
that n mob of roughs which hud assembled
at Deptford were marching toward the city
smashing windows and wrecking the fronts
of houses along the route. A panio pre
vailed among the residents of the portion
of the city which the mob was likely to
traverse. Police and troops were in readi
ness to prevent tho mob from assuming tbs
proportions of that of Monday and com
mitting similar excesses. At 3:3C the Dept
ford mob reached the Hop Exchange, in
Southwalk, nearly five miles from tho start
ing point of inarch. The mob was enor
mously increased by constant accessions
during its progress. All shops were closed.
The police secured all bridgea spanning
the Thames and ore prepared to resist
all attempts on the part of tho mob to
cross. The authorities warned all trades
men doing business in the Strand,Cockspur
street, PaU-Mnll and Regent Btreet to ex
pect disorder to-night, and to immediately
take steps to protect their property. The
mob on its way toward the Thames swung
through the New Kent road and Newing
ton causeway. They sacked several email
shops along the way. They stopped at the
mammoth establishment of Wm. Tarn &
Co.. This establishment covers ground
from and including Nos. h to 21 on New
Kent road and 195 to 173 Newington Cause
way and is devoted to the trade in limn,
Bilks, men's and womens’ clothing, boots
and shoes, carpets, ironware, bedding, fur
niture, etc. Tho building was under police
protection, but thejmob overawed oncers,
sacked the sIoto, and when they retired the
building was badly wrecked. The
police were informed that tho
mob was composed of a largo
number of roughs wbo organized to attack
tho city emporiums and banks. Snob
stores as remained open closed and barred
their windows ready to close their doors ot
a moments notice. Groups of anxious
people stood about in the streets discussing
the situation. The 'newspapers printed
extras, and these were eagerly bought. At
(i p. m., it was announced that the mob bad
dispersed. No conflict with the authorities
has yet occurred.
A socialistic meeting is to be held this
evening at Cumberland market at 5:30
o’clock. Two and a half honn before the
honr annonneed for the assemblage, over
a thousand men were on the ground waiting
to attend the meeting. Tho crowd wae
being constantly augmented by accessions
from Trafalgar square. Cavalry from
Albany and large bodies of police have been
ordered to remain in readiness to preserve
order at the Cumberland meeting.
A movement has been inaugurated to se
cure a meeting of all tbc London members
of the House of Commons, both Liberal
and Conservatives, to devise m.asnres for
the immediate relief ot distress in London.
It is proposed to have the meeting depute
a strong committeee to nrge the cabinet to
take action in tbe matter.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest
of several Socialists believed to have been
leading spirits in the riots of Monday.
These warrants have been placed for execu
tion in tbe hands of a Scotland Yard detec-
tivo, who expects to have the arrests all
tnndo by midnitiht.
By 8 o'clock a crowd that numbered
many thousands had gathered nt tho Cum
berland market. The lower criminal classes
of London were there intent upon harrass-
ing and insulting tho police. At 9 o'clock,
Hyndman, Willi unis and other Socialist
leaders arrived and vi-ora greeted with up
roarious shouts of welcome. They held a
consultation and resolved to abandon the
attempt to hold a meeting to-night, because
they said the dense fog that prevailed pre
vented them distinguishing unemployed
working men from criminals and those
wbo aro idle volunteering. The announce
ment was then made the meeting was ad
journed nnlil Tuesday next. As the crowd
suddenly dispersed, cheering for tho Social
ist lender, the disorderly clement in tho
gathering again made itself manifest Tho
police were jeorod and stoned, bnt they
easily drove thcii assailant" from
tlie ground. Tho vigorous action
ot the police of South London to-day is in
marked contrast with tho inaction of the

the Bibb Manufacturing Company.
Tbe letter is as follows:
“CmiiLEsTok, S. C., February 8th, 1880 —
Mr. Editor: I write you this as my last
and only hope, trusting you will publish it
and let the people of Miicod, my old home,
see what tortures I huvo passed through
since the 9th of last December.
"Well, I came here, thinking thia was n
good city, to look for work. X came with
my friend, Charlie Morant. We secured a
few Jobs, but it was only through the kind-
m-s of a Miss Fisher, who keeps a board
ing house iu King street, that we lived.
She boarded us for fifteen cents per day.
Charlie soon took sick, I tried to do as I
could for him, and moved him from Miss
Fisher's house to a negro's house. But all
1 did could not save him. On Friday night,
Jannaiy 1st, at 11:29 o’clock, he died. I
and the negro buried him np the road tho
next day in a dry-goods box.
“I could not stand it longer. I took sick
myself and conld hardly walk. One day I
was better and went to Bee tbe mayor and
asked hits for a ticket home. He refused
and told Me butler to kick me out in tbe
street if I came back. 1 went to tho guard
house and tho polico locked me up. There
I remained uutil the next day when I was
tried for vagrancy, but was let off with tho
promise to leave tho city.
Now, Mr. Editor, hero I am down on At
lantic wharf too sick to walk. A friend of
mine (the negro who helped me to bnry
Charlie) gave me thia piece of paper and
told mo to write yon, and Maj. Courtney
would send me home.

In the afternoon session, the matter of

The president stated that Atlanta and Mu-

informed early in the day of a conspiracy
of thieves who dwelt in low lodging houses
to make South Loudon the starting point

Lonuos, February 10. Yesterday’s re
port of an outbreak in the department of
Greenwich proves to have been a hoax. It
turns ont there was no disturbance what
ever, and that the story of the marching of
a mob to London is a fiction, the police on
hearing of the rumors warned shopkeeper*
to close their places of business,
thus adding to the panic.
Tho rumors spread throughout
London, and crowds of people soon gath
ered, curious to see the expected riot. The
people of Greenwich were as unxiotisly ex-
jiectiint of tills visit ot the mob as were the
> of London. The scare originated
fact that a jewelry dealer informed
the police that he hail been met iu tbc
direction ot Greenwich Ivy a body of rioters,
who were smashing windows along their
lino of march. With the exception
ot some wiu.low breaking

CjI. 3. A. Coleman, of Conyers, delivered
an address on “The dignity of the farmers'
profc"iou in comparison with that of other
profession*." It was a very interesting
addri". but he rather dropped off his snb-

EX-GOVERNOR SMITH'S ADDRESS.
Delivered Before tlie btate Agricultural
Convention nt Columbus.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
The president stated that Dr. Felton had
not arrived, and that ex-Governor Smith
had been invited to occnpy his time. He
then introduced Governor Smith ns one of
the original supporters of the Agricultural
Department, aud who had always been the
friend of the society nnd tho farmers.
Governor Smith didn't think he lied been
treated fairly in this matter. He had been
selected to take tbe place of Dr. Felton.
Ho knew Dr. Felton, and ha knew him to
be a most magnetic man and a true man to
the interesta of tbe people as be understood
them. He had been asked to talk about
farming. He said he knew nothing abont
farming. He had been listening to the
S roceedings, and he had concluded that
je great question with tho farmers 1*, what
to do. He said the great trouble waa that
too mnch attention we* given to chemistry
and scientific farming, and too little to
work. What the farmer* wanted to do was
to go to work. Chemistry was good enough
to read about on Sunday afternoon* when
j on wanted to go to sleep, but it don't
make corn and meat.
One of tho great troubles of this country
was the lack of labor. The (aimer* haven't
got tbe labor that they can control. He
Raid that ho had a plantation—God pity
him ! Ho never know that hi* wife bnd a
plantation until after he had married her,
and when he found it ont he asked her why
ahe didn't let him know it before they made
an agreement. He knew the difficulties
of owning a plantation. lle went down to
hiy plantation mid uindo very great im
provements and lnrnished Ul* negroes
with supplies without interest. During tho
year he ruado a visit to hia plantation aud
jnst before ho reached there he saw a great
crowd nnd a great commotion—his negroes
were playing baseball. The trouble i* tho
negroes won't work, but they live, aud
somebody has to pay for it lie wanted to
■ee every man, white or black, who would
not work for a living put ou the chaiiigaug.
Eighteen-year-old negro boys aro loafing
around the streets with a blacking brush
under their arms, and they ought to be be
hind the plow.
He waa not afraid to ntterhis sentiments,
because be is no candidate and didn't want
anybody’s vote. He intended to speak out.
What tbe farmers wanted to do was to work
more—that is tbe only way to make bread
and meat. He thought the biggest mistake
he ever made waa when he quit the black-
smith trade.
He did not want to be underetood as op-
josed to education. It took a smart mao
lo be a farmer. He believed be could run
tbe State Government very well, bat if be
had sense enough to run a four mule farm
he hoped somebody would kill biin.
In reference to tbe $2,600 appropriated
to tbe old agricultural eocie'y, no said it
belonged to the present society and ought
to be [laid to it? Not only ought they to
get it now, bnt tboy ought to get beck
rations. If the executive would not give it
to them, they ought to get an cxuculive
that will. He was not a candidate himself
and didn’t expect to be, but be hoped to
live long enough to see a man in in tbe exe
cutive chair who bail the moral courage to
do right.
He again took up tho labor question, and
spoke et length upon the the negro and his
Continuing, he said that he had been one
of the original friends of the agricultural
department nnd was a friend to it yet Tho
best thing the farmers could do woh to
always keep a good man at the head of that
department
lie said he didn't know anything abont
intensive farming and be was again <t it
He thought that more work and less
scienco was the way to farm.
He urged the convention to insitt on a
geological survey of tbe State. The peoplo
of Georgia don’t know what ia in tho
ground, and they onght to find out Tho
mntter had been frequently brought to tho
attention of the Legislature,and it liml con
tinually ignored it He was not bilking
about this because he wanted to go to tho
Legislature, for he did not, bat he would
stood in with the people of MiiHCOyC*
country in sending the right kind of men
there.
Governor Smith thanked the convention,
for the attention that had been given him.
He said that he had only made a rambling
speech, bnt he had spoken big sentimenta.
He did not olaim to be ' a farmer, but ho
had given the convention some observations
of tho outside world. We have only given
o synopsis of Governor Smith’s speech, sev
eral other mnttera having been referred to
by him.
STRANGE THINGS AT SEA.
Ship Wrecked by iv Whale, amt CollUlos
With a Hunfl«Ii.
Northern Territory Tlmos.
At noon on Ootober 21, when ten miles
southeast of Kanelang Island, in the Flores
Sea, the steamship Hampshire sighted tho
track of a large whale, and shortly after
ward a number of men were obaerved about
four miles away off on tho port bow. Tho
ship's course was immediately altered, r.ntt
we ran down to the men, ten in number,
who were cliugiug to some bamboos which
had floated from the wrecked vessel. A
boat was lowered and Bent off in charge of
tho second officer with four men. The
men were picked up and brought ou board
the steamer much exhausted. The men,
on being questioned by Capt, Carpenter,
said that they were three days out from
Latire Hadji, in Allas Straits, bound to
Macasaur with a oargo of rice, nnd ahoutj^S
A. >t. that day they were under full sail
when, without tbe slightest warning, they
were thrown into the water by a whale
striking thorn from underneath nnd sninsb-
iug their vessel into splinters. Tho men,
on reaching the water, swam to somo bam
boos which were close by, and had ben in
that position some four hours before bring
sighted by tho Hampshire. As tho
Pacific Mail Steamship Company's tngbonj
Restless was on her way down to Siv-
gatul on November 30 a curious ineidtnt
occurred. She was traveling at tbe rate of
about eight knots, when, without any per
ceptible reason, the speed suddenly de
creased, although the indicator showed tho
same pressure of steam and the engines
were working smoothly. One of the crew
went forward, and, looking over tho bow,
discerned a hrgo fish, which hod been
struck by the vessel clean in tho centre and
was bent slightly on each aide. A boat
kook was brought and tlie fish securely
caught under the gill, but it waa so heavy
that It took aix of the crew to haul it ou
deck. It proved to be a fine specimen 2
tho ennfish, and measured three feel fon
inches by two feet six incheB.

for laborers. They ere dishonest, anil until
they are morally elevated they can never be
worth anything as laborers. They have a

to vote, and he know* he's got more sense

right—and why can't they pose laws to
make everybody work. He was not par
ticularly hard on tbe negroes. If yon'd
shift things and make tbe negro the pre
dominant race, it would be the same way.
There is nothing meaner than a mean white
man. Talk about educating the negroes!
Who'* going to rule if the negro ia edu
cated up to the standard of the white
man? That is a living question, and the
collision is coming. He only hoped it
would come before he died, for he wanted
to have a hand in it. He didn't want his
bootblack to learn Greek, for wbeu be learns
Greek he’d quit blacking boota. to t tlie
