Ckiiautow.v, August 5.—Up to date the

Mr. Massengale, the nominee of the

SUMTER’S SHOWING.
Increase Shown by the Tax Returns—The
Exhibit Mnde by Americas.
Akebicus, August 5. Tax Receiver
J. W. Mize has about ’completed the t:uc
returns of the cojinty, and the exhibit is
certainly very creditable to Americus and
Slimier county.
The increase over last year in the twen
ty-seventh district (which includes Ameri
cus) is $318,000, and in the rest of the
county (except two districts not yet com
pleted) $117,000, a total of $435,000. This
is in the white returns.
The increase in the returns made by the
colored population amounts to $51,500,
and making a grand total of $486,500.
The other two districts will certainly in
crease the amount to half a million.
This is certainly a very flattering ex
hibit for one county, but it does not rep
resent the true status of Americus’ pros
perity to-day, as one million will not rep
resent the actual figures in the number of
brick laid in mortar since the first of
April, the date of the tax returns above
referred to, besides many wooden houses
built since that date, Americus is sot on

Longstrect In His Old Uniform
Qainhyilue, August 4.—The
weather seems to be stimulating exercise
in various ways in our town. The mili
tary boys are all buttoned up in (>sy nni-
fjiruia, and a IT: now in i vunp for 'jvs ,i.„y:-
at New Holland. They walk as briskly as
if the thermometer was trying to get down
to the freezing point. This is ihc fir t en
campment oi the Ninth Georgia battaiion,
and only two uf the companies are here,
the Piedmont Rifles and the Conyers Vol
unteers. The Atlanta Rifles are the
guests of the bloody Ninth to-day.
Yesterday morning thestnff officers came
in on horseback to escort Gen. Longstrect
out to the camp. They stopped on the
public square and lind their pictures taken.
Gen. Longstrect wore his old Confederate
uniform, which brought very forcibly and
feelingly to the recollection *nf some of us
bloody fields through which we had fol
lowed this gallant soldier. As he rode out
of the square the men standing on the
streets raised tlie veritable “yell” of other
days, to which the old General gracefully
lifted his hat.

Teurk IJacte, Ind., August 4.—The
Democracy of this city and vicinity held a
mass meeting to-night and Senator Voorhees
made the opening speech of the Democratic
campaign in Indiana, thin being the Sena
tor’s borne. The street procession was a
large and creditable diiplay and the xvigwam
where the meeting was held was crowded.
Senator Voorhees was tendered an ovation
on bis appearance, the audience rising and
cheering several minutes. On the platform
were many Democrats of State and local
prominence. Senator,Voorhees’ address was
listened to with marked attention find he was
frequently interrupted by rounds of ap
plause. The most noticeable feature of the
Senator's speech was his revival of the
greenback issue.
“I promise to show that the history of the
Republic.,n party on the subject of the tariff
is the history of a premeditated crime
ngainst i fie laboring people of the United
States, livery movement of the machinery
of government set in motion my Republican
leaders and managers, has been to swell anil
bloat the gains of the rich and to increase
burdenl f the poor; to deprive labor of its
honest reward and to reduce the industrial-
classes on the.farms. in the workshop and in
the mines, to the e tate and condition of
serfs paying tribute to their rapacious mas
ters. The Republican conspiracy to
fasten the flings of the monev power
in the struggling body of American labor and
to enable gigantic usury and legalized rob
bery to suck the blood of every American
industry, took its first great step, when, in
authorizing legal tender currency in 1802, the
greenback, the immortal and glorious green
back-, was discriminated against aud de
graded in th-i money markets of the world,
they being iqpde notireceivable for duties
on 'imports and for interest on the bonded
debt ui ihe united States. The laboring
people have been too patient, too forbearing.
I do not believe any other people on
the globe would have submitted, unless

tive-twentys were payable in greenbacks and
the authors of the act of March, 18t>9, knew
it was false when they declared that they
were pav*l)li-. in coin.” ♦,
The hs^aker then quoted at length from
the speech of Senator Beck on this subject,
on Warcb JUag,«od also quoted the letter

Why, asked the Speaker, should not the
greenoack, with its gionoui history and
will: all t'.ic crims committed and attempted
against it by the leaders of the Republican
party, come to the front at this time, and at
all times when the interests of the
laboring classes are under considera

Washington, August 4.—Major Barnes,
the representative in Congress from the
Augusta, Ga., district, accompanied by Sena
tors Brown and Colquitt and the two South
Carolina Senators, Hampton and Butler,
called on the President yesterday and ex
tended an invitation to him and Mrs. Cleve
land and the members of his cabinet and
their families to visit Augusta during the
exposition to be held there this fall. The
aflair was of ait entirely informal character
and devo-d of ceremony. Major Barnes was
the chief talker anil bis remarks were
indorsed by the other members of the dele
gation. lie said that Augusta had raised
tortile Exposition by private subscriplion a
larger amount of money than had ever been
raised by any other Southern city for such a
purpose, and that the Exposition was to he
national in character. The people of Au
gusta had depended entirely upon them
selves and hud not solicited outside aid.
The Exposition buildings would lie larger
than any which had ever been erected in the
South.
Augusta, Majcr Barnes said, was different
from other Southern cities; it was an old
town and its people were an old-fashioned,
conservative folk. The history of the town
was spoken of ami the attention of the Pres
ident was drawn to the fact that it had wel
comed Washington to its hospitality during
his first admini tration. The people of Au-
f usta, lie said, would rejoice to welcome the
’resident as an illustrious successor of
Washington.
The Presidin', in reply, cordially thanked
the delegation for the invitation extended to
him. but said that in the present slate of
public business, Congress being still in ses-
sion, it was impossible for him just now
either to accept sr dcelise the invitation.
He would, however, lake the metier under
advisement and would subsequently inform
the delegation of bis decision.
Major Barnes expects to receive a definite
answer in about ten days.

Nonuuitt, Mass., August 6.—[Midnight.]
—General Sheridun died very suddenly at
10:20, of his old heart trouble. No particu
lars are yet given nut by his physician.
Later.—General Sheridan's death oc
curred at 10:20 this evening. Previons to
the sudden appearance of heart failuee, at
about 9:30, there had been no premonitions
to-day of any unfavorable changes in his
condition. The weather has been warmer
than usual and the General was, at times, a
little restless, but seemed generally bright
and cheerful to-day. His voice was strong
and took a small supply of nourishment,
slept occasionally, as usual, and the doctors
and his family were in a hopeful frame qf
mind.
At 7 o’clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors
went to the hotel for snpper, and soon after
their return the usual preparations for the
night were made. At about 9:20 Colonel
S'V’ridan said, “Good night” to his brother
and went to the hotel, there having been
through the day no sign whatever of any un
favorable change in his condition.
THE FIR8T SYMPTOMS.
At 9:30 symptoms of heart failure sudden<
ly appeared, snd Doctors O’Reilly and Mat-
thaws, who were with him at the time, im
mediately applied remedies which had
proved successful in all similar attacks, but
this time without eflect, and despite all that
could he done, the General gradually sank
into a condition of complete unconscious
ness, aud at 10:30 breathedTtis last.
Mrs. Sheridan, the Sitters Maban and Jus
tinian aud the faithful body servant Klein
were also at his bedside throughout his
dying hours. No arrangement has yet been
determined upon in regard to the time or
place of the General’s burial.
Tie physicians’ Lulletin, fnrnished to the
A«A«iiitfH Pro..' «.v. that the immediate
cause of his death was heart failure, and the
remote case disease of the nutral valves, the
existence of which was known in November.
This was complicated by pneumonia and
hemorrhages. He died a painless death.
TUB NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Washington, August 5.—Owing t6 tlie
lateness of tlie hour at which tlie news of
Gersrakijhsnilafi’s death was received, it is
impossiblWt^wtjltiy information from the

A telegram was received at the White
House from Nonquitt at 12:08 a. m. and the
messenger boy told the night watchman that
it waa the announcement of General Sheri
