Drawn-Of Interest.
Mention was made in'the ‘TEEEORApn
of yesterday that a letter had ibeen^ ad
dressed to Hon. Chas. L. Bartlett asking
his views on certain meaanres. The fol
lowing is Mr. Bartlett’s reply:
Macon, July 11, 1888,-Messrs. F. S,
Johnson, 8. A. Charpiot and W. A. Doody,
Committee—Gentlemen: I beg to ac
knowledge the receipt of your favor of the
10th inst., in which you use the following
^‘‘As'citisensof Macon and Bibb county,
we are much interested in two measures
which have recently been brought into
public attention and discussion, namely:
1st An amendment to the city charter,
which will put the police department and
the cemeterv outside of the range of
“politics,” by placing them in charge of
boards of commissioners elected by coun
cil but chosen for terms of office of dif
ferent lengths, so that the majority of the
board will not (after the measure is in
operation) be elected by any one coun
cil A registration law for the city and
county, providing that registration of vo
ters shall be under the charge of a board
of registrars chosen by the grand jury or
judge of the Superior Court, or other au
thority not interested in the result of the
registration and election: and providing a
method by which the registration list may
be purged of illegal voters before the day
of election. These two measures received
unanimous endorsement at a meeting of
the Citizens' Reform Association. They are
regarded so vital that the executive com
mittee of the movement are desirous o.
securing your support lot them. As you
are a candidate for the Senate from this
district, we would like to know your v;ews
on these subjects, as the incoming Legisla
ture will be called upen to pass the neces
sary legislation. The executive cpmmittee
have therefore asked us to addresB you this
note. We would request as early a reply
as convenient, between now and to-morrow
at noon.” .
In reply thereto permit me to say that
you are mistaken in the statement that I
am a candidate for the Senate. The fact
is that, being a Democrat, having always
been a Democrat, and owing fealty to no
other party, as such I am a candidate for
nomination, subject to the action “f the
meeting of the Democratic party of Bibb
county, called for Saturday next, the 14th
instant, and subject also to the further
action of the Senatorial convention of this
| district. , . .
As I am a candidate for nomination o n
ly it occurs to me that it would be an un
usual thing for mo to declare my views
upon the measures, which propose ra-ica.
changes in existing laws, and which so far
as 1 know have never been officially con
sidered by the Democratic party of this
county, prior to the consideration of the
same by the party at whose handk l am
seeking the nomination in question.
Furthermore, you do not advise me in
your letter to what use you propose to put
the expression of any opinion I may enter
tain upon the measures you have referred
to- \
I do not consider that it is the part for
any candidate for nomination by the Deni
ocratic party to pronounce himself as com
mitted to any position in pubklf affairs
until iho party has expressed itself official
ly upon such position; and, as it is quite
. likely that somo action may be taken by
the meeting of next Saturday, I am of the
opinion that it would be a great reflection
unon the wisdom and integrity of the Dem-
ocratic party of thU county tor me to at
tempt to forestall their action by throwing
the weight of my individual opinion cither
for or against a given measure.
Never having been requested to consider
these measures in connection with the
Citixen’s Reform Association, nor having
been invited to participate mils delibera
tions, I take this occasion to state that I
am, like all otner good citizens, in favor of
enactment of such laws as will redound
to the prosperity and good government ol
the city of Macon and the county of Bibb.
Should the Democratic party of this
county and district honor me with its
nomination to the office of Senator, and
should I be elected, upon taking my seat
I will take the following oath, prescribed
by the constitution of my State: 1 wll [
support the constitution of this State and
the United States; and on all questions
and measures which may come before me,
I will so conduct myself as will, in my
judgment, be most conduciv to the inter
ests and prosperity of this State.’
And when I have taken this oath, I pur
pose to conduct myself according to us
spirit with the utmost of the ability with
which God has endowed me.
The views of my constituents, whether
large or small in number upon auy given
subject of legislation, Bhall always receive
at my hands careful attention and just
consideration. I shall not vote for any
measure that will not redound to the good
and prosperity of the people I may repre
sent ; nor will I oppose anjr measure that 11
calculated to advance the interest and good
government of the people of this city,
county and district - ; my judgment, mv
conscience and my oath of office will a ■*
ways control the casting of my vote.
1 beg to remain, your obedient servant,
Cua.ui.ks L. Bartlett.

CLEVELAND DEMOCRACY.
Ypu next give as a reason for your silence
the following:
‘‘As I am a candidate for nomination
only it occurs to me that it would be an
unusual thing for me to declare my views
upon them measures, which propose radi
cal changes in existing laws, and which so
far as I know have never been officially
considered by the Democratic party of this
county, prior to the consideration of the
same oy the party at whose hands I am
BeekiDg the nomination in question.”
You also say “I am of the opinion that
it wouldjte a great reflection upon the
wisdom and integrity of the Democratic
party of the county for me to at
tempt to forestall their action by
throwing the weight on my individual
opinion either for or against a given
measure.” We certainly did not desire
that you should, by your response to our
inquiry, forestall the action of the Demo
cratic party by the weight of your individ
ual opinion. The matters inquired about
are purely local measures and the Demo
cratic party of the State has taken no po
sition, whatever, on them, except that they
have trea ed registration as a local matter.
The last General Assembly passed a large
number of local registration bills. We
therefore thought that upon this purely
local question and the other question of
separating the poiice department and cem
etery from “politics,” we, as citizens of this
community, were entitled to ask your opin
ion. President Cieveiand is a pretty good
sort of a Democrat; and when you say that
Democrat ought not to express his per
sonal convictions in advance of
the action of his party, you
read him out of the Democracy. ’ That is
] irecisely what he did in Ids tariff message,
lis example is worthy of imitation by all
candidates. We are wholly at a loss to
understand why your communication
should have been described in a head line
as “An Answer that Centers the Bull’s
When you confine yourself to the
simple generality that you are in favor of
good laws and opposed to bad laws, it
seems to us that you scatter over a very
wide field instead of striking any definite
mark.
ANOTHER REASON.
We also note that you say that “you had
not been requested to consider these meas
ures with the Citizen’s Reform Association,
nor invited to participate in its delibera
tions.” The Telegraph 6f Friday last
contained the platform and a statement
made by the authority of a committee to
send ii oui, ihal all eitiaciio who approved
it were urged to be present. They also ex
plained the difficulties which embarrassed
the clerks employed to mail the circulars,
and on this account made the invitation as
above stated. In response to this, many
citizens not lacking ifi delicacy and who
favored the platform, attended the meet
ing and enrolled their names as members.
We have yet to hear from any citizen
who lioartilv endorsed the platform
who has ’ liehj aloof from the
association because he did not
rcieive a special request to be present,
is unfortunate, indeed, if your attitude to
wards these weighty measures has been in
fluenced by so trivial a matter as failing to
receive a special invitation.
MEASURES, NOT MEN,
The Citizens’ Reform Association is for
measures and not for men, except when
measures depend on men to carry them
out. The two measures referred to were
embodied in the platform of the. organiza
tion. They received the unanimous in
dorsement at a large meeting of citizens.
In addition to this, several hundred who
were not present have enrolled their
names, and thus approved these measures.
Personally we are ycur friends, and we
recognize cheerfully your eminent ability.
We, therefore, regret ail the more that
your letter draws an issue between your
self as a candidate on the one side and
these supremely important measures on
the other, which affect the welfare of the
whole community and concern even the
sacred ashes of our dead.

Mr. Olesaner, tlie Commissioner, Meeting
with Responses from Every Section
of tlie State—An Idea as to
tlie Scheme*! Magnitude.
ARIZONA DIAMONDS.
Mr. W. L. Glessner, of Americus, and
who has been appointed to take charge of
the car that is to advertise the comiug
State Fair and to furnish a travelling
office for the Bureau of Immigration, was
in the city yesterday on his way home
from Augusta and other placeb, where he
had been looking after exhibits.
It was an idea of Mr. Glessner, and
when he mentioned it at the meeting of
theiAgricultuaal Society the project re
ceived the unqualified endorsement of
President Nortlien. and tlie Central rail
road at once lent its aid to carrying it out.
In the Central railroad shops in Macon
the car is being built. It is fifty feet long,
fitted up with au office for the commis
sioner, with berths, closets, toilet room,
etc. The office will occupy one end, while
the remainder will be fitted up with shelv
ing, racks, and every convenience and ap
pliance for carrying the innumerable ar
ticles for exhibition.
The object of this car, which by the way
will be handsomely and appropriately
painted, is to be sent through the West
and North for the three-fold purpose of
advertising the Georgia State Fair—to
illustrate by the exhibit what can be
grown,‘produced, manufactured, and dog
out out the bosom of the State—to induce
people to make their homes here. The
car will lie carried to all the fairs to be
held in the .Northern and Western States
between
AUGUST ANI) OCTOBER
and when possible will be run right into
the grounds. It is the purpose of Mr.
Glessner to take advantage oi every pos
sible opportunity to show the car and its
contents to all the people of the section he
visits, and all along the lines, at stations
or cities, an invitation will lie extended
the people to walk right in awd
look at what can ' bo . grown
and manufactured in Georgia. In
addition to the exhibits ho will have an
abundance of printed matter, such as pre
mium lists for the fair, pamphlets showing
the advantages of each section of the State,
descriptive of the soil, mines, etc. Many
of the towns and counties are now prepar
ing these pamphlets, which will be fur
nished on application. Mr. Glessner will
have what he terms ‘cards of introduction.’
Having been furnished with lists of those
in each county who are interested or who
have charge of the local bureaus or socie
ties, one of these cards will be given to
vncL man who desires to comedown to
Georgia. For instancy, if a man in Iowa

what the car will contain.
As above staled, the car will be a repre
sentation of all the varied products.aml ip-
dastries of Georgia. Here is an idea Of
what will be exhibited, cacli specimen p'iit
in most attractive shape:- From the
mountains of North Georgia will mine
specimens of gold, silver, iron, lead, mar
ble, manganese, graphite, mica, talc, and
other minerals, together with grains and
fruits. From Middle Georgia will come
samples of wheat, rye, oats, corn, barley,
cotton, vegetables, fruits, butter honey and
grasses. From Southern , Georgia, Win
come rice, sugarcane, iyrop, ESS SS.anu
cotton, olives, melons, palmetto, grey moss,
yams and all the products ol this semi-
tropical region. From the forests will
come specimens of yellow pine, cedar, cy
press, gum, oaks, hickory, iopUr, turpen
tine, rosin, etc. F’rom the manufactories
will come pimples of cotton and woolen
->oods, wooden ware, iron and a long
inc of manufactured articles.
EXHIBITS COMING IN.
These specimens arc being prepared in
all counties throughout the State. Sir.
Glessner said yesterday that among the
prettiest things in his car in the way of
minerals will be some specimens ol mar
ble now being gotten in readiness. He
will have a multitude of paper weights of
every conceivable design and shape in
white.pink and variegated marble, some of
them being cut and some turned. He will
also have specimens of the marble in thin
sheets, say from an eighth to a quarter of
an inch thick, so transparent that they
can be used for transoms, windows, etc^to
take the place of art or stained glass. __
This display of marble stone, to say
nothing of the excellent granite from Stone
mountain, Holton and other quarries, will
be a show in itself to surprise the people
to whom the car will be shown. Every
specimen will be appropriated labeled
with the section of the state from which
it came.
AMONG THE CURIOUS THINGS
that Mr. Glessner will have in his car
will be a collection of gourds, the like of
wliich was never seen before. This dis
play will come under the head of novel
ties. There will be gourds of all shapes
and handles, and many of them will bo
bronzed. Mr. Glessner says he will also
have some magnolia leaves and pine cones
bronzed to be placed among the novelties
There will be in the car a number of
living plants and mosses. For this pur
pose is a. tank twelve feet long^ three feet

of plants and flowers will be quite inter
esting, especially as it will embrace the
preitiest things grown in the State.
The car will be loaded at Americus. and
when ready will pass through Macon on
its way to Newnon, where it will be in
spected by the Agricultural Society, which
meets there on the 14th and loth of
August. It will then go on ila way to
reach the State fairs of Indians, Illinois,
Iowa and Michigan, and such others as it
can reach.
In the year 1883, in my capacity as a
newspaper correspondent, I found myself
in a little village of New Mexico. It was
a pleasant spot, and I reRted there a few
days. Naturally, in so small a place my
advent was noted, and on the second day
of my stay a lad came to mo with a .strange
message that Jim Haggerty was dying and
wanted to see me. 1 went to the small
abode pointed out, hut death hail preceded
m-. The dead man was indeed “Old Jim,”
as he was familiarly called. .1 had known
him well some years before in California,
where he was a noted mining prospector,
hut had not met bin sime. Ilia worn and
haggard face recalled vividly to my mind
“the great diamond swindle, of which lie
was a projector. I had reported the affair
at the time of its occurrence,. Dut briefly,
because great was its magnitude in tlie
mighty Hood of speculation which then en
gulfed the Golden State, it was but au epi
sode in the passing show. The story of
the swindle has never bAra written full, I
think, and its recounting fills one of the
most interesting pages in the history of the
mining barons of California.
Among the countless schemes to which
the great banker Ralston, who loved to be
called the “Financial King of tlie Pacific
Coast,” devoteted no small share of the
California Bank, of which lie was presi
dent, was the exploiting of mines in the
Pyramid range of mountains close to the
border line which divides Arizona from
New Mexico. This was in the early seven
ties, when speculation was rife and the
discovery of bonanzas an everyday event.
Among thq employes of Ralston in the
Pyramid mines was one George Arnold, a
man of meagre education, but bright and
ambitious. In his shanty on the wild
mountain Bide, and over his bacon and
beans he was ever thinking of some plan
that would bring Dame Fortune at his
waiting feet, and shower upon him her
princely favors. He saw men making for
tunes by a single castoi thedje, and losing
them by a single throw. While yet dream
ing his dream of wealth there came to him
the bright-colored story oi the great dia
mond discoveries nt Cape Colony. Ilis
teeming brain at once devised a scheme
which, in its was, equalled Low’s South
Sea Bubble. He had grown uncrupuloiis
in his desire, and had come to believe that
with him, at least, the end justified t-e
means.
The soil around the Pyramid district
was rich in color, and had character
enough to inaugurate any mining scheme,
however wild and impracticable. So with
a comrade, Jim Haggerty, with whom he
had long been associated, Arnold made
long tours over the surrounding country.
After a few weeks of this kind of work he
resigned his place in the mines, with the
given intention of seeking the fairer fields
of Mexico.
He next turned up in San Francisco in
the fall of 1*71. lie immediately found
Ralston, and even astonished that bold op
erator by revealing thnt he had discovered
in Arizona rich diamond fields quite as ex
tensive as those of Cape Colony. From
the gripsack he had brought with him he
poured iorth a wondrous display ol tough
diamonds which had been washed from the
yielding soil of the new find. They were
many and apparently ol value
Ralston, ever ready for a venture, espe
daily one which promised such dazzling
results, entered at once into a proposed ex
ploration of the new diamond fields. ll«
introduced Arnold to several loading capi
talists, who at once beoame enthusiastic

who had been led into the secret immedi
ately determined to visit till mines, and,
if found to be all right, to purchase Ar
nold’s claims nnd titles for the modest hut
snug sum of 51,000.000. Arnold reluc
tantly accepted the offer.
In due course of time the party ol cap!
talists Interested left San Francisco for thi
promised land. At Camp Ralston, the
headquarters of the Pyramid mining spec
ulation. the eager capitalists were met by
Arnold and Haggerty, the latter being in
troduced as a sort of side partner, like the
silent marines of the admiral of II. M. 8.
l’inafore. The two worthies were to con
duct Ralston and his associates to the dim
mond fields. The party was led by a road
as zig zag as a snake fence nnd as rough ns
a corduroy road. Part of tlie way was
along the Gila river to where the Rio Prie
to empties into it. At this joint the eye a
of the jaded capitalistic visitors were care
fully blindfolded and their animals were
led by their guides for some distance far
ther. When they were permitted to sec
daylight again they were in the midst of a
clump of trees which stood on the river’s
bank. They were given shovels and nicks
and told to dig anywhere about the clump
of trees. Each o( the visjtors did so, and
each in turn brought forth one or more of
the precious stones they sought for. They
were everywhere, anu the millionaire
miners wiped the clinging soil from off
their hands softly, as though it was a sa
cred deposit.
On their return to San F'rancisco the
capitalists wished to form a company. In
ten days it was accomplished. Arnold was
paid his $1,000,000 and made superintend
ent of the new mines. He at once made
known the location of the diamond fields
and they were visited by several stockhold
ers in the company. Diamonds were found
by each and all of them, and all went
merry as a marriage bell until Arnold
tHjv-1 for the East. ■
It was then thought best to call in
expert, and Professor King, the well-known
geologist, was selected. He first discovered
that the ground around the clump of trees
on the bank ol the Rio Prieto bad been
cleverly “salted” with refuse diamonds,
such as may bo cheaply bought in the
marts of Amsterdam. It was also found
that the diamonds found by the capitalists
had been “tried” at Amsterdam, and, as

Tho news was received in Macon yester
day of a terrible tragedy in Emanuel
county. Messrs. Wood & Bond received a
telegram Irom Mr. W. O. Wadiey, at Rog
ers, on the Central railroad, ordering a
coffin, but did not intimate for whom it
was intended. Later Mr. J. II. McGhee,
of the Telegraph, received a telegram an
nouncing that his brother-in-law, Mr.
George FI. Malsby, of Wadiey & Malsby,
saw mill operators and proprietors of tlie
Rogers and Summit railroad, was shot
from ambusii and instantly killed.
In the afternoon Mr. John Wadiey ar
rived in the city with the news. From
him and other sources the following par
ticulars of the tragedy were obtained:
The murder wa9 committed early yester
day morning, and the assassin is supposed
to be a negro desperado named Aleck An
derson whom Mr. Malsby, in company
with Sheriff Moore, of Emanuel county,
was hunting. About ten days ago Ander
son, who was employed by Malsby, had a
difficulty with one of the bosses. Malsby
discharged him and ordered him to leavr
the place. Last F'riday, in riding through
the woods he encountered Anderson, who
was loafing among tlie hands. An alter
cation ensued, and the negro drew his pis
tol and fired on Malsby. The bullet
missed him, but wounded bis
horse. The fire was returned, and
Anderson was hit in the
arm. He turned and fired and was sup
posed to have left lie* iieighh.trho.-id, hut a
day or two since he was seen skulking
about the quarters, and he told some of the
men tha he was going to kill Malsby. The
report got to Malsby and ho determined
upon Anderson’s arrest. Sheriff Moore, of
Swainsbdro, was sent for and arrived after
dark Tuesday night. A watch was set on
the house where Anderson had been seen.
Malsby and the sheriff started out fully
armed and intended to lay in wait near the
house until daylight and arrest Anderson
when he came out.* Anderson either heard
of the plan or suspected what was going
on, and concealed himself behind a clump
of pines about thirty yarilB from the
house. As Malsby and the sheriff passed
within twenty feet of where he lay, the
click of a gunlock caused them to
iause. A second click was
ollowed by a shot and Malsby dropped
dead, with a heavy load of buckshot
through his brain. Sheriff Moore turned
and fired in the direction from which the
flash came, anil then stepped behind a tree
and waited a few moments. The night
was dark, anil after waiting a short while
and hearing nothing, he went to his faiien
companion.
The news.of the murder spread and by
daylight armed posseB were organized and
dogs were put on the murderers trail. An
engine was fired up and went to Rogers,
thirty miles distant, to notify Mr. IV. O.
Wadiey, the partner of the murdered man.
Word was also sent to Millen, Swaiusboro
and other points and officers were pat on
the lookout for tlie murderer.
Intense excitement prevails at Summit.
Mr. Malsby wag; about thirty years old and
was one ol the best known men in the
coiintv. Mr. and Mrs. McGeheo left last
night’for Louisville where the funeral will
take place to-day.

drifted over here, instead of going
back to New York. They all registered
at the Elberon and that night visited I’hil
Daly’s Pennsylvania Club and insisted
upon Mr. Daly sitting behind the faro-
table himself. The "plunger” had poor
luck at the start and lost nearly 8,008,
when he demanded that the usual $100
limit be raised to $500. This was done
and the playing went on until morning, by
which time the fortune ol the game had
changed and the Colorado man left the
club-house $12,000 winner. A spectator
declared afterwards that for a high
roller” he beat anybody that he had ever
seen. He did noi cash his checks on Mr.
Daly until yesterday, when he took it all
over to the races. His luck still stuck _ to
him and he returned to the Elberon with
$22,000 in his pockets, he having backed
Belvidere and his friend, “Lucky Bald
win’s horse, Lo« Angeles, for a place, the
odds being very heavy, thereby winning
about $10,000 more.
Bast night he started out on another
5 lunging tour, and at last settled down in
ohn Daly’s Long Branch Club. He asked
before he commenced playing that the lim
it should be removed, and after some con
sullation Ike Street, who is one of Daly s
managers, consented. No bet of less than
$500 was made during the play, and it is
said that at one time $8,000 was represent

Lincoln, 1803—Gordon, 1888.
From the Washington Critic.
The address of Abraham Lincoln at the
dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery,
November 10, 1863, and the address of
Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, spoken upon the
same field July 2, 1888, will pass into his
tory as two of the memorable speeches of
tlie quarter of a century which began with
tlie one nnd ended with the other.
Although the one was uttered by the
cemmander-in-chief of the armies of the
Union while the conflict was still lie
progress and the other by a Confederate
officer of high distinction long years after
ward, when peace was demonstrating her
greater victories than those of war, there
are many points of similitude between the
two.
They were both delivered from notes
hastily made upon a railroad train but a
few hours prior to their utterance. Tlie
sentiment: they express arc alike in mag
nanimity and" forecasts of the future.
Even in phra>eo!ogy they are not wholly
dissimilar. Though Lincoln’s grand apos
trophe was to the Federal dead, as not
having died in vain, and Gordon s to the
American blood thnt, spilled upon the
“battle-hallowed hills,” constitute a fresh
pledge of fidelity to “the life, freedom and
unity of this cherished republic,” they
both bespeak a patriotism that we may
rest assured will abide with us henceforth
and I..ri ver. Mr. Lincoln’.-, speech was as
follows:
"F'our score nnd seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation, conceived in liberty nud ded
icated to the proposition that all men are
created equal? Now we are angaged la a
great civil war, testing whether that na
tion, or any other nation so conceived and
so dedicated, can long endifre. We are
met to dedicate a portion of it as the final
resting place of those who he/e gave their
lives that that nation mighf live. It is
altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But in a larger sense we
cauuui dedicate), we cauuui euie-eciaie, we
cannot hallow this ground!) The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here have consecrated - ' it far
above our power to "‘alid or to
detract. Tile world V.1U ' little note
nor long remember wllht ve’e ,yiay say here,
hilt it can never forget what.they dul here.
It U for us, the living,' rattier to be dedi
cated here tothciinfiiiishtd UArk that they
have thus far nobly eairfed on. It is
rather, for us here to bo dedicated to tlie
great talk remaining befqre v(t; that from
thesoilionored dond we tskuljncreased de
votion to that cause for. which they here
gave the lost full measured devotion; that
we her6 highly resolveUmUhCse dead shall
not have died in vain, i That the nation
shall, Under God, hare a new.birth of free
dom; and that government* «4 the people,
by the people, nnd for the people, shall not
perish from the earth." ..
I ha remark* oi iicuctwiui\iuU on Mon
day last, who at the time ,.whcn Lincoln
«poke was still a foremost, lender in the
Confederate cause—a comm.snding figure
in its military annals—show clearly
enough that lie has reached a full realiza
tion of the "new birth of freedom” to
which tbe President prophetically alluded,
and that both of them—Loth of the sec
tions they represent—now occupy common
ground, surround the same camp-fire, and
drinking from the same fountain of heroic
remembrance, look forward to the same
perpetuity of brotherly peace, We quote
as follows:
“There is one suggestion wh-ch dom
nates my thoughts at this hour, to prose
which 1 ask brief indulgence. Of all t
martial virtues the one which is, perha
more characteristic of the truly brav
