I replied: “This is not the occasion or

con idered this barely as an offset to what
ho had said, without intending anything
discourteous either in tone or manner.
General Gordon then said, under great
excitement: “Then I pronounce it an in

it may come, and I shall hold you personally
responsible Jor it."
To this I replied in the game manner
and tone as I had observed through the
whole discussion: “General, I hold my

what I have asserted—that is, what I have
beard of your position in this matter, but
this is no time or place to bandy words
about it We can settle this elsewhere."

are badly 1 • i ;htened. Ti e peopl- h ive bad

and they fiad ia them no good reason why
he ehonld have left hia office in New York
and ao suddenly come back to Georgia to
divide and harass his party when we were
getting on ao quietly and smoothly. They
see that he insnlta their intelligence by ap
peals to ignorance and prejudice, and stu
diously avoids answering the legitimate and
proper questions asked by the press and bis
truthful opponents. They are disgusted with
seeing General Gordon, headed by a brass
band, invade a county on the day of au
election, and Are also alarmed at the free
aud indiscriminate nso of money in the
campaign. The convincing arguments and
g entlemanly campaign of Major B.icou is
living a good effect, and the voters are fast
raltyiog around his standard. His fr ends,
too, are now thoroughly organized, and will
not lose ary more counties by inactivity.
General Gordon has already expended his
strength, and those sweeping triumphs that
characterized the e&rly days of the cam-
migu have been brought to a sudden halt
Within the next ten days or two weeks Ba
con will not only pass nud lead Gordon, but

James la a candidate for Senator from this district,
while Col Mynatt la an aspirant for Congressional

of our present Congressman, Mr. Uammoud, though
the county a* a whole will oppose him, as it did in
the former race. The gre*t excitement here is over

W HITNELD,
“Saving Carolina.”
The Greenville News is rather amused
and dirgnated ut General Gordon's Valdosta
speech. It says that the Gordon account
and Hampton aooonnt ot the “Saving of
South Carolina," do not consist. The editor
of tbe Newa heard Hampton ,ay that a con-
venation he bad with l’reaident Hayes did
the woik. The editor add,:
"Senator Hampton (then Governor) went
to Washington andeaw and talked with Mr.
Haye, and warned him that no Republican
government could be established or main
tained in this State; that an official recog
nition of Chamberlain would ha the signal
for the people to break out and that every
Republican would be banged inside of
twenty-four hours.
“Our interest in the Georgia campaign is
Isagnid, but it is somewhat irritating to
have General Gordon parading around as
the savi >r of South Carolina, putting tho
peaple of tbe State in a position of children
or weaklings who could have done nothing
without his mighty help.
“We have cried aloud and often for a bill
of particulars of tbe great services done this
State by General Gordon, of which he and
hi> friend* talk oe much. The above is the
first answer we have hod, and it condenses
the whole business into one brief conversa
tion with H.yes."
We have no doubt of the troth ot Ibis
statement Neither do we doubt that but
for tbe active, xealoue aud sabHtantial aid
given Hampton by the people of this part of
Georgia, Chamberlain and not Hampton
would have had that interview witn Hayes,
de-pite of Lord Cardinal Gordon.—Angnsta

A young man in Macon, who gets a good salary,

For fire years he has averaged ten glasses a day,

beer Is the pleasure of drinking it
Thero reems to be a general desire on the part of
the old cltixeua that the name of the Lanier House
remain unchanged. It was known long before tbe
war. when the youth and beauty of the State often
assembled in its parlors. It was in tbe old Lanier
House that all the campaigns ware planned, and
many a political movement was schemed in Its
rooms. In those days tbe South wa« rich and
socla* events were numerous. The house ha* been
lo many hands and passed through many vicissi

ebauging the name of tho t urn.

Britain, an island in the South Pucific
Ocean, and gives the Statu Department the
benefit of his researches. Among other
things he says the inhabitants have the
custom of confining tbc'r girl* in cages un
til they are old enough to marry. The cus
tom he sAys, is peculiar to that inland and
without a parallel among the other inhabi
tants of the South seas. These girl cages
are rnado of twigsQ of the palm tree, and
the girls are pnt into them when they
are only tw > or three years of age. These
cages are built iuside the house aud
the girls are never allowed to leave th*
house ou any circumstances, and aro only
taken out of tbe cages once a day to b«
washed. The houses themselves are closely
fenced in with a sort of wicker work made
of reeds. Ventilation, under the circuit
stances, is rendered difficult. Tbe girls are
said to grow np strong sod healthful in
spite of tnose disadvantage*. The natives
are very fond of jewelry made of shull or
bone.

Campaign Notes.
The Democrat calls Mr. Bacon's Craw*
ford villa speech “a powerful speech by
a powerful man."
To-day’s vote will place Gordon further
in the lead, bat the Telsobapb of to-mor
row week will show a change that will
speak for itself.
The Banner-Watchman says: “Why does
tbe Gordon club in Atlanta pay some of its
debts with checks on tbe First National
Bank of New York? Is not this bank the
depository of a certain railroad king?"
The backbone and sentiment of the coun
try is certainly at a very low ebb. aajs the
Waynesboro Citizen, when the beat argu
ment made by a gubernatorial candidate is
tbe rattle of the drum and the bray of the
trumpet.
It is a significant fact that Mr. Bacon has
been through two exciting and exhaustive
campaigns without being attacked by
slander or charges cf any kind, And that ao
soon as he meets General Gordon in a
political contest he is overwhelmed with
filthy lies and slanders.
Tbe Oglethorpe Echo omIcs: “Can there
be any higher recommendation of a man
than tho tact that he has been in public life
for almost a score of years, before the
people ah a candidate six, and yet not a
blotch upon his public or private life?
Snch is Major Bacon, whom we deem it an
honor to support."
The Albany News says: The chief point,
so far, made against Bacon is bis ambition
to be Governor. It must b* nsusbered

Wskhinotox, June 111.—Tho Recr.tary of
the lutetior bee joat sent to Senator UOC*

complete report made by Mujor PowtU, su
perintendent of tho geological survey, on
tbe Senate bill inlrodu ;ed bo me time niuoa
to facilitate tho settlement end develop
the reeonrcee of the Territory of Aliwka,
and to open an overt .lid commercial route
between the United Suites, Asiatio llussia
and Japan. Tbit report ia very fall and la
accompanied by two largo maps. M'lj ir
I’owellaaje that a railroad is feisible ovor
Ibi* vast ixteht of Cjtmtry, and that tho
difficulties to bo overcomo aro not greater
than have alrrody been mastered iu con
structing U.e transcontinental roads already
in operation. He tsys the distance from
Northern Montana to Bcbriug’s Si a is
2,WSJ mile*. Tbie distance, for conveni
ence, be dividee into three purls ax follows:
First, from somo point on tho Northern
Pacino lallroad in Montana to the lie ad
waters of the Peace river; second, from tho
head waters of the I’ctco river to the head
waters of tho Yukon; third, from the bead
watersuf tbe Yukon to some point on the
shore of BchriDg’s Hca. The report then
goee on to give a pretty general dUcoaslon
of the rrgiun ov«r which a proposed route,
would pa** end tells of the geological forma-
tion aud general prospect* of tbe conutry
for settlement end business.
In a general way tiie recommendation i*
that the proposed railroad shall follow tho
beds of streams instead of tbe pisins, whero
it would be necessary to span many gullies.
Advantage is t -ken of tbe report mode by
the explorer* who were tent by the West

“It may lie said with emphatio troth that
never in the history of Georgia La* there
been a State campaign so demoralizing and
disorganizing as tbe present. We behold a
gallant , x Confederate General, who ha*
been highly honored by the commonwealth,
and who subsequently dwelt in the greet
speculative metropolis, invading the Htato
like a mi itary raider and demanding the
chief magistracy. We see him moving
from eunoty to county with bras*
hand* and equestrian pageantry, up-
pc ding to tbe passion) and appetite*
of men, without cue solitary snbatanllal
reason for preferment. Behind him is tbe
centralized power of the commonwealth,
with headquarters at Atlanta, plethoric
with “boodle" and apt in imitation and
practice of tbe electinneedng method* that
have made politics of Northern communities
“smell to hesven.” Intimidation is part of
the monstrona programme. Men calling
themselves free agents, in every county
have been selfishly silenced. Wnat Con
gressman dare openly avow himself a Gor
don or Bacon man? As the tide shall
turn one way or the other, these
and other persons, who hold of
fice or a.pire to it, msy jump off the fence
and become intense partisans; bnt *b the

of grown men who are afraid to ca'l their

at Atlanta, with a mockery of tbe Mikado,
threatens to “pnt them on bia list'.'' Was

there ever such aa insult to the liter ,1* and

From tbe New Y zrlt 8i»q,
Loog niter the name, of King Ludwig ot
!*r.7arib hjibll bare beso forgotUn, tho nnmo
of Dr. yon Guddcn will be preeminent ou
tbe records of ecieLCe. It is a striking illus
tration of tbs popular estimation of actentiflo
senders that tho dispatches from Munich
sbcmld hare laid so great a stress upon the
death of tho King and to little upon thnt of
ihw Doctor. Dr. von Guddcn w*a probably
tho foremost man of echoes in Bavaria, and
foremost among tlui foremost in all Ger
many. 11s was by no manner of means a
mere keeper of tho King, aa h >mo of our
contemporariia scorn to believe. If the
King was tn his charge, his Majesty was in
tho csre u sovereign of tho tmo sanjra
azul -tho blue blood of brain such hh tho
reigning bouse of lUvoria never had within
tle'reo called royal ikulls. It U a great
muiortuiio that so valuable a life as that of
Dr. von Gudden should ever have been
placed st the mercy of so arrant a madman
a~i the King, and this not only becauso a
scholar to original and indefatigable hod
well earned a right lo Lfe and its enjoyments,
but also because be bas loft behind un-
finUhed atndiis of groat importance. Dr.
von Gudden h*tl devised an ing» noaa method
of investigating the function* of tho brain.
This method required careful plnhiological
experiment upon oxiUulU, careful prepara
tion of the brain of these an i Dials, after
deAth, and then still fntber carefal micro

quiring much time. What few results bad
thu* been obtained wore such ah to make
