The announcement in made in onr tele

Hancock from the effect* of n carbuncle.
General Hancock wan one of the most
distinguished soldiers on the Federal side in
the late wor.
He was the most distinguished soldier in
peace, exhibiting a broad and comprehen

faithful execution.
lie did much to bind up the wounds of
war and to smooth the rugged paths of the
people of the South who will remember
him gratefully. Ills elevated ideas of duty
and his faithful performance of it lost him
the Presidency. Gold and political cor
ruption defeated him anil the desires of the
best of the Ameiican people.

Accident nr Design.
It will be remembered that au attempt
was mode during the last session of the
Legislature, to investigate the giving of the
right of way over the State road to the
Georgia Pacific railroad. The attempt was
only apartial success. Sufficient information
was elicited to show the importance of a thor
ough investigation. After many and vari
ous motions to thwart and delay the in
vestigation, in tho closing days of the scs
sion the committees got to work. Time
was short and the investigation shorter
It was developed that the enterprise was
started without a cent of capital. General
Guruuu's note for fifty thousand dollars be
ing the only symbol of coin or currency.
The lobbying of the Legislature was not
touched upon. The experts all swore that
the State had been done out of a very valu
able franchise, the exact figures of which
could only be reached after to a construc
tion of several, and seemingly contradictory
statutes.
It further transpires that the Attorney-
General of the State hud never been con
sulted iu regard to the true and legal con
struction of these statutes. It also ap
peared that the one thousand dollars
charged by tho Governor for this valuable
franchise had never been paid by tho corpo
ration to which it was given.
Colquitt's memory failed him entirely
upon the witness-stand. He conld recol
lect nothing as to dates, or transactions,
and was confused as to his own property
rights. Finally the committee dumped the
matter into the lap of the Attorney-General,
where it ought to have gone in tho first
place.
Now it appears that this action of the
Legislature hnx bo place in the public laws
with him. It was the duty of the aeconds
then and there to have written out and
signed the “proces irrbal' or report
of the affair, hut It was
neglected and later on they coaid not agree.
Thereupon the Compte's seconds gave the
details as published and threw all Paris into
a tumult, nud brought about a dozen other
duels, one of which'was between Magnier
and the senior second of his late antago
nist. During this encounter Magnier con
ducted himself with great coolness and
courage and was again wounded.
The decision of the best duelling author
ities is that tho Compte's seconds should
have stopped the dr el when Magnier turned
his back, bnt that, failing in this, the fight
having been renewed and the principals
having shaken hands, nil irregularities were
thereby waived, and Magnier was entitled
to an honorable mention in the report.
Singularly enough, the discussion has
called forth a history of American duelling
from the fatal encounter of Hamilton and
Durr down to a recent date.
Tho French duel is generally upon a
point of honor. It is prosecutod until one
of tho combatants receives a personal in-
jnry. Generally the mere shedding of
blood is sufficient to ond the affair. The
wounds indicted are for the most part in
the right hand, arm shoulder or breast.
Sometimes, but not often, these duels re
suits seriously. M. Rochefort, the editor
of the Intreascgesnt, lias fought a score of
duels, and M. Paul de Cassagnac probably
an equal number.
It appears, by official record on Decem
ber 18th, that the President had removed
643 officials, divided among the depart
ments as follows: State, 80; treasury, mil
postoffice, 266; interior, 76; department of
justice, 61. As there areabout 4,000 offices
filled by presidential appointment, it will
bo observed that the President line not re-, , , ,, . ,

JsrrxBaoxtAN simplicity in Washington
is thus illustrated; “It is considered tho
•proper thing' for publio men to adopt
crests after the manner of tho nobility of
the tffete monarchies. An article on tho
subject say* that tho crest introduced by
Sooretary Manning at hi* recent dinner
party created quito a sensation because of
ita striking originality and the significance
of the motto: 'An eeglo dots not catch
files.’ Continuing, tbo article a*ys: “Gen.
Ilutler's crest is a goblet, bearing the le
gend, ‘Comma ja trouvo,' while that of
Henator Ingalls is an open eye with the
words in Latin, 'He wins who is aware.
Geo. Logon has recently adopted the style
and his note paper now bears the very pret
ty design of a calumet across an Indian war
bonnet. Senator Sawyer, who is the wsg
of the Senate, is thinking of following the
estmple ot other great men in this respect,
and will adopt as the moot appropriate
crest for his profession ot lumberman an
embattled sawlog on an emerald pine for

t Tux GUI family, of Tennessee, are the
champion rabbit hunters, according to the
correspondent of the Nashville American
“They occasionally turn ont 100 or more
strong for a rabbit hunt on horseback, no
dogs allowed in tbo field, and no one al
lowed to carry a gun or throw a Itiek or
stone. The land is level and generally laid
off in fifty and 100 acre fields. They enter
one ot these huge wheat fields, where a
great many rabbit* are tonnd, riding in
abreast,and they rarely go many steps with-
ont jumping a rabbit, and then the sport
begins. The nearest man to the hare
dashes off at full speed, ) eUing at the top
of his voice, which scares the hire and ex
cites the hone. If a good horse (and the
GUIs have no other kind) he soon runs over
the game, and the rabbit dodges, taking
another direction, when a holt dozen other
hones will take after him. Finally
the hare finding itself snrrounded
and seared nearly to death, drops down,
and then the race is who shall find dis
mount and bag the game. The chase baa,
perhaps, seared up a half a dozen more rab
bits, which starts the whole company in
phase, and they go' dashing helter-skelter
in every direction, under the wildest ex
citement. It ia the grandest sport ever
ooocelved, and no man can witness the
aeena without partaking of the enthusiasm.
They esteh sometimes as many aa 100 rab
bits a day, as it is rare that one ever es
cape*. They raioe rabbit* for the purpose,
. and don't regard a man as a good citizen
who will go out and murder the poor little
things with a shotgun. They are also fond
of bird hunting, and ketp several packs of
hounds and have excellent sport in fex
having anything to do with the preparation
of tho laws admit thnt it should appear in
its proper place, bnt uo one seems to know
who is to blame for tho negligonco. The
Attorney-General confesses that ho is mak-
iug an investigation into the matter, upon
the authority of a publication in the Tele-
a bate.
The rtcoid presents a very remarkable
state of affairs. The query at once suggest*
itself, was this nrglrgence tho result ot sc.
chlent or design?
Previous occurrences in connection with
Colquitt nud his administrative conduct
would seem to favor the theory ot deslgD.
In the investigation of tho Northeastern
bonds, it was charged that tho notes of the
stenographer were mutilated, in ono im
portant particular, as to the evidence.
When Colquitt delivered his last message to
tho Legislature he distinctly stated that in
accordance with the mandate of the con
atitutinn he had returned in writing the list
of convicta pardoned by him, with the re*-
tons therefor. The Senate, by resolution,
immediately took issue with him, denied
his statement, and demanded furthor infor
mation. This resolution reached the honac,
went to a committee and was successfully
smothered.
The investigation ot the matter of the ev
idence in the impeachment trials developed
the fact thnt he had diverted the money ap
propriated for publishing the testimony,
and had kept profoundly silent in regard to
the matter, and this important part ot the
history of the Htate bos been lost to it.
These are facte of record. Could all of
these things havo happened by accident? If
so, what a negligent lot of officials we have
at headquarters. Is this not pushing the
doctrine of chance far beyond its legitimate
limit?
It design has taken this place of chance
is not tho conclusion irresistible, that the
people should demand tho immediate
cleaning out ot Georgia's stall in the Au
gean stables? We have read and heard of a
warrior carrying a charmed life in the
front of battle, but the incidents given so
above, illustrate tho fact that a politican
can carry a charmed life under ihe cover
of subservient tools. Does investigation in
vestigate?

—Mrs. Senator Stanford's diamonds are
valued at $1,000,000. She has four entire
sets, which belonged to Queen Isabella, of
Spain. It will be remembered that the
Queen at one time was in Fans in such
needy circumstances that «he had to sell
her jewel*. Governor Stanford bought the
jewel* at that time. Each set boa tiaras,
necklaces, brooches and earrings and other
ornaments. One set is very beautiful, as
the rays which are emitted arc of a violet
hue. These arc the rarest of all diamonds.
Another set gives out rose-colored flashes;
another has yellow tints, and the fourth
pure white. The price paid for the set was
$600,000. Outside of these, Mrs. Stanford
has ono necklace which cost $100,000, and
the pendant $30,000. She also has many
black diamonds, and has sixty rings of
great magnificence; and does not wear any.
:she has many pearls and rubies in addition
to these diamonds. Ono of her pearls is
valued nt $7,000, and is said by Tiffany to
be the finest in the world.
