His Ilelirf In a Dntp Conspiracy for the

a Narrative that lie Waa Pre

From the New York Herald.
Long Bbaxch. July 7.-It la not neceeeaiy to goe-
elp about the living when tLenolenm event of dea h
acggeata a fitting theme.
The papers this morning announce the decease
of Colonel George B. Cork bill, the ex district attor
ney of Washington, who convicted Gniteau. This
intelligence is doubly sad to the writer, not only
because Corkbill was a sociable fellow, a genial
companion, but also beca**e one of the greatest
stories that ever fell from the lips of a criminal
lawyer probably diet with him. Ho waa only wait
ing for the recovery of a eick man who
waa more or less interested. This he
told me himself, just -one week ago, at
hia apartment* in the Portland, in Washing
ton. He did not watt to bring pain even to tie
heart of a dying enemy. It la unfortunate that he
vraiUd. for the completeness of history demand*,
aometiuea, the sacrifice of people’s personal feel
ings. Colonel Corkhill was a criminal lawyer of
more than o'diuary shrewdness. Those who
knew that fact marvelled at many peculiar things
be did during the trial of Outteau. On one occa
sion in particular ha waa openly charged with hav
ing mutilated a letter which he offered in evidence,
lie admitted the charge, tut declined to give his
reasons. Several witnesses possessed of Informa
tion regarded as essential to bia case were not
called. These and a score of minor incidents,
railed down upon bis head much severe criticism.
Not only waa nia ability as a prosecutor assailed,
but non bis good faith waa questioned. He waa
like other Men. He smarted under these attacks,
but he held his tongue. When the end of bis term
was reached be was not reapnoiuted by President
Arthur. That probably wounded his feelings like
wise. He ufieu said he did not desire another
term; bnt men are only human.
Tina TO TALK OUT.
Just one week ago this afternoon I met him in the
House corridor of the capitol at Washington. He
was suffering from unusual agitation. It was evi
dent. At first he declined to explain, but ulti
mately he exclaimed:
*T can't endure the reproaches that have been
cast upon my conduct of the Gtilteau caas any
longer. My professional pride revolts at the Injus
tice that have been heaped upon me. Only yester
day l waa accused to my face of having hanged an
insane man. But to-day, thank God! I have been

Rather Than Ills Bill.
Washington, July 10.-—Representative
Morrison’s report on the Randall bill sare;
Tbo bill proposes to remove all the Internal taxer
on tobacco, snuff and oigirs, amounting, on the
baalsof last year’e receipts, to IJ.UUO.OOQ; on apple,
peach and grape brandy, to $1,400,100; on spirits f.*r
nse in the arts, variously estimated at from «7.uOi,000
to tlf.000.nuo, and believed to ba at least f 10,000,001)
— making in the aggregate of internal revenue taxes
to ba removed $3i»,40 i.u- 0. In the appendix of tbo
estimates submitted with the bill as a part of it.
the reduction of the revenue from custom* ou
tariff taxes to be affected by it la estimated at
$8,570.C76. making he aggregate of proposed reduc
tions |^.0u0.000.
A bill to so reduce the excessive revenues, and
the statement tost there were no excessive revenues
to be reduced, were submitted to the House by the
same member in the same half month. II the
■tateaent that the revenues will
not exeeed the appropriations, and the
eatlmate with the bui, i eluding the lot*
of receipts from brandy and from spirits for u*« in
the arts, may be credited, the enactment of the bill
Into a law will leave tho government f48.UOO.OuO

the governaieut and the requirements of the public
debt authorized by law, iuclndiog debts incurred
by paymentof penslous already allowed, tbe validity
of which we dare not question, payment of wbieu
is enjoined upon us in the oath we have taken to
support the constitution.
Your committee, unw Iling to credit a purpose so
lacking iu patriotism, so forgetful of public faith,
must I relieve these and other provisions of tbe bill
to be the result of a fiscal distemper hindering a
Ju«t comprehension and intelligent ueatme.itof the
subject. In Viaer of it* effect and purpose,
so far as it has the purpose of affecting reve
nue of tbe government, tbe bill might well be left
about, but never conld find?'

she produced a much crumpled document. 'Here
is bia photograph'—and she showed a picture of the
aaaavstu wholly unlike any I had ever seen, but un
mistakably the face of Gniteau. Contrary to gen
eral belief, Quitsau had been a remarkably fine
1 raking man iu bia day. More than that, my friend,
abe produ ed a bundle of letters—letters, sir, that
made rojr breath fa>l me. 8ho promised them to ire

We had descended the marble stairway and
reached tbe reetanrant by thU time The weather
waa warm and we each drank a cool cobbler in s|.

the eiUtence of a calmly developed conspiracy,
whose plot covered even tha flight of the assassin

Young America's Christuiaa Gun and How
It was Searched for Y’esterday.
The question that is now troubling a few
Gordon men in Maoon and Fort VuUey is
"where is the gufi?”
On Thursday a delegation from Fort Vol
ley came up and borrowed the well-known
little caonon that has been the pet of Young
America Fire Company for many vears.
Captain Tom Msssenburg has been the re
puted father of tbe cannon, it having in
days gone by formed part of the battery of
tbe Jackson Artillery, and it was ho who
gAve the Fort Valleyians the permission.
YfcHterday morning a dray was sent to
Young America's engine house for tbe
cannon so as to be shipped to Fort Valley
on the 10:10 train. The door was opened
bat the gun was not there. There was the
carriage and the ramrod, but no gun. An
immediate search for it began but no one
could be found who had seen it That it
hod betn spirited away some time during
Thursday night was a fact that could not
be dispnted, but the question arose 41 'where
was itT
The Gordon men held a hurried meeting
and resolved to find tbe gun if it was iu
town. A searching committee was ap
pointed and all day long could be seen men
looking into sewers, old stdirwayii,
and all out-of-the-way places, tine
man searched the park over
and another man suggested that the river
be dragged, but the plan woh not carried out
because tbe point at which the gun was sup-
S oiled to have been dropped could not be
eleriuined upon. The committee met at
intervals during tbe day, and as each plan
was proposed the searchers would iart out
to return again empty-handed. Tho gun
bad been well hidden, and the hiders were
wise enough to let no word drop that would
give the snap away. At oue meeting of the *° w i£*. no doubt it wa« unacted to

A PAPER RAILROAD TIE.
Durable, Light anil Kiastlc— Ilopee of Its
Inventor.
From the Vow York Tribune.
That ia a railroad tie.” It was of the
regular aize and polinbed a« amoothly aa a
S iece of Italian marble. The grain was ao
no anditbe whole appearance waa so artistic
that it might easily have been taken for a
chip from a pillar of a Grecian temple in-
r.tead of such a practical thing as a railroad
tie. The apeaker waa a short, atont, sad-
faced man with a large head and overhang
ing brow., nnd waa tbe inventer of this
esili.tic sleeper, and in hia little office in
Fnlton street there were many models of
cars and railroad tracks scattered about.
“This, ” said he, as he patted the railroad
tie lovingly, “is the result of years of labor,
and I believe now that it is
perfect. It is made of paper which I
believe is to enter to a large extent
in all building operations at no distant day.
The great enemy to the use of paper for
many tt ings ia moisture, nnd in my inven
tion, of course, a means had to be discover
ed to prevent dawpne.s from having tho
slightest effect, as a railroad tie being in the
ground is subjected constantly to it, and a
rotten tie might cause the loss of many lives
atm much property. The process of manu
facture is secret to a certain extent, but the
tie is absolutely fire and water- proot There;
I will throw a piece of the prepared paper
into the fire. You see it will not burn. I
have submerged it for weeks and months in
both hot and cold water and
the moistnro has never been found
inside tbe surface. Consequently it can-
not rot. Thongh apparently as hard as
iron, an ordinary spike can be driven intj
it without difficulty, and when tbe spike is
in position the material is of such a nature
that it doses around the iron and holds it so
firmly that it can never be shaken loose.
Thepe is also a certain amount of spring in
the He, and when there is a load on it, it
operates as a sort of cushion, and takes
away a certain amount of jar from running
ears. Under certain conditions, by slightly
altering the combination of materials, tho
pa, er can be made so hard that it will turn
tho edge of the hardest tool without being
more than smutched. The ordinary wooden
lie will last about five years under the most
favorable conditions, while the paper tie
will stand any kind of weather for at least
thirty yeiuu

straw, though almost any kind of fibre will
do aa well. Straw is preferred becanae it
can bo easily obtained and tbe supply is
unlimited. There are mills ia the West
where the straw is made up into boards. It
is a large industry, and was first started to
utilize the waste straw in the vast West for
fuel, instead of wood. This is a paying
business, and fortunes are being made ont
of what only a few years ago was thrown
away or burned np as useless. Those
boards are pnt together in layers, and after
being treated to a libeiul dose of cement are
put under b tremendous pressure in u hy
draulic machine. This forces the atoms
together in a solid moss. Under pressttro
dozen boards will take the
place of one. Heat is also an
agent in the manufacture of paper ties, and
they ore thoroughly baked in an oven at a
high temperaenre Under the present im
perfect conditions nnd appliances it takes
considerable time to make a tie, but with
everything built iu accordance with my
plans thev can be turned ont quioker than
they esn be cut from trees and at much
lew coat. The number of ties used every
ear to construct new nnd repair old roads
a enormous nnd is a large element in the
disappearance of forests in this country. It
is m.v belief from wbat I know of paper
that it it destined to take the place ot wood
in many things, and this will give protec
tion to our forests. Legislstion esn never
irotect the forests so long ss thsro is such a
urge demand for wood.
“The strength nnd durability of paper is
well shown in car wheels made of this ma
terial. It makes nn iron wheel sick to con
template a light paper wheel running tor

A large part of the beautiful bronze orna

Auocsta, July 11.—This afternoon at 5
o'clock, St. Paul’s Church was picked by a
deuse throng of friends of tLe Into Paul
Ilayne, gathered to witness the funeral cer
emonies, and to pay the last tribute to hia
memory.
The chancel of the church was exquisite
ly decorated. The catafalqn* was draped
iu black, and fringed with the long needles
of tbe Ueotgia piue, through which for so
mnDy years, at Copse Hill, tbo wind liul
whispered its numbers to his poetio soul.
Behind it stood an immense harp mado of
white flowers, and at its head was a diadem
of white rosebuds. At the foot n floral dove
was poised above a nest of violets, and tho
word “Rest." Group-d and stand
ing to tbe right and left
wus an exquisite pillow of wbito
flowers, on wnich was written, in immor
telles, tbe name “Hayne," and several floral
lyres, a floral heart, crowns, and other beau
tiful designs. On the lower Btep of tbe
chancel lay a sheaf of ripened wheat. The
casket containing the remains of tho dead
poet lay in state in tho chapel, to the rear
of the church, where was gathered the Ilnyno
circle, the pall-bearers, intimate friends,
represet-tatives of the family and the church
dignitaries.
At precisely 5 o’clock the pall-hcarers,
Messrs. John M. Graham, William H. Flem
ing, Charles X. McCord, Jos. R. Lamar, T.
R. Gibson, L B, Evans, A. H. Barker, of
Augusta, and H. S. Edwards, of Macon,
bore the casket from the chapel, and
followed by Mr. Haynes son, Wil
liam II. Hayne, an old family servant,
intimate friends of the family, nod the hon
orary pall bearers, Col. Chas. C. Jones, Dr.
H. H. Steiner, Col. Jas. R. Randall, Dr. U.
F. Campbell, Gen. C. A. Evans, Mr. John
Telkev, Mr. Joseph Hatton, Judge W. F.
Eve, Mr. F. A. Tnuberlake, of Augusta; Mr.
W. B. Seabrook and Mr. Lord, of Charles

Avery and Mr. C. W. Hnbner, of Atlanta;
Major Chestney, ol Macon; Dr. A. J. Battle,
President of Mt-rcer University; Cspt. KobL
E. Park, of Macon; Mr. P. G. Bnrutn and
Capt. George Adams, of Augusta, aud Mr.
C. A. Lanier, of Montgomery, Ala., entered
tbe church.
At the entrance they were joined nnd pre
ceded by Bishop Beckwith, Bishop Weed,
of Florida, and llev. Cbanncey Williams;
nnd in this order they moved tip
to tho chancel. The services that
followed were solemn ond impressive
During the singing of the hymn, “Rack of
Ages, by Dr. ana Mrs. Goo-rich, with a
choir chorus, tbe vast congregation was
moved to tears. Bishop Weed read the
burial service, and was assisted by Rev.
Cbanncey Wili ams.'
Bishop Beckwith delivered an address of
half hour’s duration upon tbe life, charac
ter and ! aith of the deceased. It was elo
quent in its sentiment, pathetic und tender.
Few men have ever had such a tribute paid
them. Bishop Beckwith spoke of him as
having tiuitid in his character manliness
and v omnulincss, almost to perfection.
He dwelt npon bis perfect faith, the grand
courage aud devotion of the man, and
the pure sensitive soul of the
)0(L The addreis to-night U the
*lk of the city, and it is universally de
creed eminently chaste and appropriate.
When the services ended, and while the
casket was being bourne to tbe hearse, rain
began to fall, and by the time the procee-
sion got well under way, it developed into
n tirnflc storm wh'cb raged for an hour.
Those who followed the remains to the
S rave, and the number wax large, were
ranched.
Thus end. Ihe lest act in tbe drama of a
life dear to the people of America. Paul
Hayne is no more. He eleepa ioGewgia

to love. Ills poor rnoital remains, guarded
by nn affectionate people, will rest here in

MANNING'S HETIREMENT.
McDonald, or Indiana. Talked Of as tha New
Secretary of the Treasury.
A Washington special to the Philadelphia
Times nays: The announcement from New
York that Secretary Manning would not re
turn to hie desk in tbe Treasury Depart
ment created no enrpriae here among well-
informed people. There were a good many,
however, especially In thedepartment itself,
who are greatly disappointed. Treasury
officials who came into office under Mr.
Manning were loth to believe that he had
permanently retired, because they did not
wish to eee him go out for ■ eeeons personal
to themselves. Their lore of Mr. Mamioi
himself, as well as personal interest!, let
them to misrepresent hie real condition al
tbe time of his stroke and bit tardy con
valeacenee. Personal friend, of the Secre
tary, who were intimate enough to know
what was really the oese, wen not deceived
by these representations.
As much ss they regretted the metier
they saw no reason to disguise the fact that
the career of s valued official was closed.
Subsequent events have shown that this sad
result, early indicated in the Timet dis
patches, was correctly foreshadowed.
As to Mr. Manning's successor opinion is
not well wt tied on any man, though a rath
er decided current wts towards Ex-Senator
McDonald, of Indiana. He has been clos
eted with the President several times re
cently, and hi* well-known aound view,
the financial question connect him very
naturally, perhaps, with the Treasury. In
the opitrion of many, however, the appoint
ment will go to New York. k
