“Georgians are happy over the ap

collector of internal revenue for Georgia.
Of the republican state central commit
tec of sixty not ono flickered, but all

Arnold. Indeed ail the active republi

of their convictions were for Arnold.
Those who opposed Arnold nro men who
don’t attend republican meetings in
Georgia. The President is doing hand

Washington, June 27.—Some time
ago the Treasury Department was in
formed that it was desired to take a
number of Chinese lalorcrs to tho West
Indies, and application was mode for
permission to take them through tho
United States territory in transit, pro
vided bond was given that none of them
would remain in thin country.
The matter was referred to the solici
tor of the treasury and ho gave an opin
ion that thero was nothing in tho law to
prohibit landing Chines© for tiio fuero
purpeae of (Kissing through the country.
Secretary Window, howover, was not
prepared to change the .existing regula
tions to this extent and directed the re
jection of the application until the ques
tion could ho considered more thor
oughly.
No further nction on tho subject is nt
all likely, however, as it is understood
that arrangements have since Urn made
witn tho Canadian transportation com-
panics by which the Chinese will lie car
ried across tho continent without tho ne
cessity of entering tho United States tcr-
ritorv. /

Charleston, Juno 27.—[Special.]—
The McDow murder trial f» rapidly op-
proachlng the end. Tho testimony In
reply offered by tho shite Unlay maybe
briefly summed up.
Dr. It A, Kialoch, dean of tiio State
Medical College, product an embalmed
section of the Jiuuian !>ody, pointed out
the direction of the wound and corrobo
rated tho statoim nt of Dr. Blichel tliat
Uawfcoti wan shot from his rear and hori
zontally. The wound could not be ac
counted for in any other way.
it's bad, bad, bad. said m’iow,
John Hogan, the detective who took
BIcDuw from the jx4ice station to jail on
the night of the murder, testified tliat
w hile on the wav to tho jail BfcDow,
who was handcuffed, told him to look nt
his lint wher » Dawson's cane had struck
him. Then !«*»king down, McDow said:
“ft's bod, Uul, lad. But I shot liftn
and would shout him again, or any other
man who attempted to cane me.”
, m’dow shot to kill.
In reply to n question from Hogan ns
to where he shot him, McIHjw replied :
|1 shot to kill and I know where to
shoot to kill. Bty profession taught me
tliat.”
Dr. Michel was recalks! nnd after tus-
tifying anew aU>ut the wound the state
announced tliat it had no further evi
dence.
Tho solicitor nuked that tho jury be
taken to the scene of the murder to view
tho premises, but the counsel for the
prisoner fought this d.*s|*eratoly and
were sustained by the court.
THE ARGUMENT BEGINS.
This closed the evidence in the case,
and tho argument was opened by the
solicitor, after w*hich an adjournment
was had till to-morrow, when tho argu
ment will be concluded and the case
given to the jurj*.
A singular, but perhaps unintentional
feature of tho case, thus far. has been
noted, viz: Tliat on nearly all the points
of dispute, ns to the evidence, during
the examination, the points were ruled
by the court in favor of tho defense. No
exceptions were taken, however, to any
of the rulings.
A1TLAUSE IN THE COURT UoOII.
On several occasions during tho de
livery of the argument of tho solicitor,
there was applause in tiio court house.
The jury is now locked un, am I will re
main locked up until the verdict is ren
dered.
IT WAS FOUL ASSASSINATION,
By AMnclatrd lYras,
k HARLESTON, Juno 27.—In the BfcDow
care to-day, Dr. It. A. Kiuloch, for forty
years physician and surgeon, and at
present dean of tho Medicul College of
South Carolina, took the stand to prove
tho course of the ball that killed Capt.
Dawson. His testimony' corroborated
the view of Dr. Michel tliat the hall liml
iMHuiiircd from behind nnd is confirma
tory of the general public opinion that
McDow shot Capt. Dawson when his
Kick was turned and when ho was leav
ing MeDow's office.
Detective John Hogan testified that on
tho night of tho murder, when tho ac
cused was going to the* jail with mati-
a led hands, Dr. McDow said:
“I shot hint and 1 would shoot any
man who caned tuc. I know where to
shoot to kill. My profession tenches me

Hixesvillb, June 27—[Special.]—For
sovera! weeks |io.st the negroes of liberty
county have been in a t stat© of excite
ment I (ordering on frenzy. Not sine© the
county was raided by Kilpatrick's
troop ri and freedom proclaimed 1ms the
colored brother been so stirred. Several
accounts of this excitement and its cause
have reached the press of the state, but
none of them were accurate. Through
th© courtesy of tho editor of the Ilines-
villo Gazette your correspondent is en
abled to furnish the true history of this
wonder fill excitement.
A NEW CURUT AND I UK DOCTRINES.
The cause of all this commotion was
the mysterious upjiearatice of a strange
w hit© man. who tx>gan preaching to the
negroes, claiming to lie more than man
and warning tho negroes that the judg
ment was at hand mid that thu world
would tiu destroyed on thu 10th of Au
gust next. At ono time he would say
that lie was Christ with power todestrov
mid raise the dead. According to his
teachings this world is heaven, and the
white folks are now enjoying all the
| dentil res. Tho vareto ho ehnngixl to
black nnd tho blacks nr© to lie turned to
white. He would also assert that lie
first lived jn the body of Noah, then
Abraham, then Christ, then Alexander
nnd on down to Lincoln. All who fol
lowed him he vowed he would lead to
the promised land.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE OP THE NE}V
CHRIST.
Ho Is a wild, weird-looking man, over
six feet high, with long, black lienrd,
which fulls down to his waist, nnd hair
as black as a crow, which he parts in the
middle and which dro|M uj*>u his shoul
ders in curls. Hiifeyes are blue and in
dicative of intelligence, Nil low complex
ion und delicate hands tliat would sene
for a model. He is plainly but neatly
dressed, and is always clean.
Ho curries a Bible with him nnd
is thoroughly conversant with it, ready
at al| times to challenge unyone for a
controversy. Ho goes from place tc
iloce, preaching five or six times a day.
It is usAerted that lie will not take
money, for Ills doctrine is Unit the t*hcj»-
herd must feed tho flock und not the
flock the shepherd.
•THE NEGROES ARE FRENZIED.
Tho result of it all is the jnx»r, deluded
negroes have gone wild! Many of them
have iilimuloncd their - cro[«, quit
work and given everything, und men,
women nnd children or© following him
in multitudes. Some of tho ricu plan
ters niul turnentino men nro left without
hands, und H is useless to talk to them
about work.
Btrango to say, many of tiio better
clans of negroes who can rend, nnd who
own some property are following him;
nnd tho women crying and screaming
fall nt his feet, embracing his knees and
iiuiig him "«© uiwwml uwiut,"
THE NEW CHRIST IN BONDS.
Thero is however a jwrty of tho
negroes who believo he is an Impostor,
and knowing tho harm ho is doing, have
token legal stops to get rid of him. Rev.
W. II. htyle.i, tho late republican can
didate for :,tute. senator, came lieforo
Judgo Ashmore and took out a warrant
for vagrancy. Tho warrant was pinqod
in the hands of HherilT Smith. Last

communication has been furnished tho
Associated Press, with tho request that
it bo given general publicity
“Johnstown, Pa., Juno 26.—To all
committees holding funds for tho relief
of tho Johnstown sufferers—Dear Sirs:
Tlie Johnstown finance coinmittcaafor
tho relief of tho sufferers by the flood
would represent to you* that there is nn
urgent necessity for a prompt and w iso
us© of the money which has been goner-
oubly contributed by tho country for fhe
alleviation of the distress of our suffering
|M>op1e. As large ns these sums of money
are, they will “be utterly inadequate to
do more than to mitigate the present dis
tress and to aid this community to m&ko
an effort for self-help. Tlieir natienco
has been unprecedented and they aro
now K'ginning w ith courage to recon
struct in some temporary fashion shelter
for their families and places in
business can bo carried on.
JOHNSTOWN NEEDS ALL THINGS.
It is impossible for tho committee or
any number of committees to supply
tin’s community with the things it needs.
It is really in need of everything, and
the only practical way of helping it is to
put the money into the hands of the in
dividual members of the community, bv
which they cau get what they need,
not merely for subsistence, but
for all tlie various requirements of
p«>op!e who are K'ginning life anew
upon n devastated tmetof land on which
once their fair city stood. Our commit
tee has Kx'n in receipt of contributions
of money sent us from all over tho
country. Wo have used necessarily a
jKJition of this money for lalxfr incident
to the distribution of supplies of food,
clothing and shelter, the collection of
statistics, etc.
THE MONEY NEEDED NOW.
“Wo have waited anxiously for somo
movement to he made on the part of tho
comm ttees throughout the country hav
ing largo sums of money in their hands,
which would Indicate what they intend
to do with these funds. We can wait no
longer. Thu neceasity is so great for
prompt action that our committee has
■n obliged to adopt a plan for using its
pittance of money for tho immediate
relief of tiio sufferers. It has sot
• 'ii foot and will have completed
shortly an accurate registration of all
the fluff .© j, and it is proposed as an
equitable und quick method of reaching
their first nr* as Jig wants to divide th©
money which it holds equally among
them. Tho mm which will Iw given to
each will r.ocessarilv l>o small, but It will
inspire them with tho hof o tliat t) e largo
amounts of money contributed for their
relief may specaily become available,
and it will give better heart nnd fresher
hop© to those who are now struggling to
re-establish themselves in their Ioat em
ployments and avocations,
THE SITUATION AT JOHNSTOWN,
llio positiou hero is ns follows:
“Tho working people nro offered am
ple employment, mud as they are people
who own their own homos, they aro
sticking to Jf^n 810 ^' 0 in *pho OI 'heir

thus, on the one hand, a commu
nity needing enough supplies from tho

merchants nro making an earnest effort

these two together nml keep them
together during tho next sixty (lays, our
community will again he self-sustaining.
But, already, tho inability of tho )>coplo
to purchase is causing great despondency
upon th© port of the merchants, which,
it not speedily checked, will cause further
want und hopelessness.
BLTI’LY THE PKOPLB WITH MONEY.
‘There is but ono method to check
this, namely, to furnish tho i>eoplo funds
with whlcli to go to tho merchanti and
make purcliasesof that which will re
Hove them trout suffering. Two needs
are befor e us. Tlie first w to commence
distribution immediately; tho second ia
to co itinue it oti u Ku>is equitable to oil
and HiUUftu tory to tlie country.
,v The registration s|mkenof above takes
into account merely thu number of
survivors to lie reached quickly
by tho first distribution. Following this
the sarau machinery * will collect close

tiiuo tho good effects of the first distri
bution have worn away, wo will bo ready

Coincident with this distribution wear©

two large evils.
MONEY WASTED, PEOPLE DEMORALIZED.
“Tlie first is tho wosto of uonoy con

HOW THE FUNDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED.
Harrisburg, June 27.—At a meeting
of the flood relief committee this after,
noon tlie following was Issued to the
public:
“Tho donors of funds in tho hands of
tho flood relief commission may know
how these generous gifts aro to bo dis
posed of nnd that the expectant recip
ients of the same may not form erro
neous views of and foster improper ex
pectations for the name, it i* now offi
cially directed mid announced that th©
following principles shall govern tho
distribution of relief:
. CHARITY NOT INDEMNITY.
‘First—In tliat the said fund is in tho
nature of charity to the needy and not os
n general indemnity for loss sustained.
‘Second—Tliat a distribution of per
centages would l>e manifestly uhjust as
it would go alike to rich and poor and
alike to ail sufferers no matter what
their needs or the extent of their suffer
ing.
“Third—That a distribution by percent
age on the amount of losses would l>o
manifestly unjust, as it would result in
giving tho largest sum to tho person hav
ing lost the most without regard to tho
value of the remaining estate of such
person.
“Kpurth—-That this fund cannot be
used for tho benefit of any private or
public corporation.
“Fifth—Tliat the tyad. mart go only
to tho most needy sufferers from tho
floods in accordance with and in the
pirit of tho trust impressed upon it by
tuo donors.
