His Ilelirf In a Dntp Conspiracy for the ••ilemoval” of Garfield—Outlines of a Narrative that lie Waa Pre paring for Publication. 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!

When she had taken a seat, at niy suggestion, she continued: •’ ’Vary true; yat you hung one bu*b*nd of mine, and now, aa sn act that will part'ally offset that pi Uc ban re, I want you to help me secure a pension /or another.

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 short of the sum necessary to the administration of 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?' *• •! am she.

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.

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 PAUL HAYNES FUNERAL.

TbeNfgrette movement. The paper used is generally'made of 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.

I last Monday evening. 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 ton; Mr, Coleman of Macon; Col. I. W. 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 soil, in tbe sound of footfalls he bad learned to love. Ills poor rnoital remains, guarded by nn affectionate people, will rest here in Angnstu until tie) are Uuully laid away w ith tli-me of his ancestors in hi. native State, and where the waves murmur in the grand old city b) the lot, the city he loved so well.

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 TAKi'N FROM COURT AND LYNCHED A Mob ot Five Hundred Taka Sidney Davis oat of Court and Lynch Him.
