Washington, May. 22.—In reply to
questions touching his relations to
the coming canvass for Governor of
Georgia, Mr. Stephens has consented
to the publication of the following
letter, mailed to-night:
National Hotel, Washington, D.
C., 22d May, 1882.— Mr. Charles E.
Smith, Washington, Ga.: Your letter
of the 19th inat. is before me. In re
ply to your inquiry nbout my position
in relation to the Governorship of
Georgia, I can ouly say briefly that
the reported interviews with me on
this subject as published in the At
lanta Constitution are substantially
correct. In roply to letters from all
parts of the State, and from men at
tached to all political parties, urging
me to forego my intention to.retire
from public life at the close of my
present Congressional term, and con
sent to accept i lie ollice of Go'vernor,
I have stated that if my health con
tinues as good ns it has the past win
ter, and if unmistakable evidences
slmuld bo furnished me that it is the
will of the people of Georgia that \
should servo them, I know of no rea
son that would justify me in refusing
to do so. Thus the matter rests at
present, so fur as I am concerned’.—
When asked the question whether I
would allow my name to be used in
connection with this otlice, at the
next election, againsi the nomination
of another person by the Democratic
Slate convention, to assemble on the
19th of July next, my uniform answer
has been, “I would not.” This action
of the Democratic party would with
me be tbo controlling evidence that it
is not the will of a majority of the
people of Georgia that I should serve
them ns Governor. To this conclu
sion I should come, notwiyistanding
the numerous letters I have received
from men of the greatest eminence in
the State, nnd the many petitions em
bracing hundreds of people in differ
ent counties to which 1 have referred,
and the recommendation of my name
to bo voted for ns Governor by the
people of Georgia by tbo highly re
spectable body of men who recently
assembled in Atlanta, and whose
good opinions and eonfidonco I ap
preciate in no small degree. I deem
it proper in this connection to add
that, while my political affiliation is
entirely with tho Democrats on prin
ciples and measures; and if in oKher
it has orred such errors should bo
corrected within rather than without
its ranks, yet if I were nominated by
the Democracy and elected Governor
of Georgia by the people, I should
not bo a partisan Governor, but
should look to the best interests and
welfare of tho Stnte by protecting tho
rights of all classes of society, which
should bo the chief object of ull gov
ernment. Tbo principles perpetuated
in the motto of the grand old State,
“Wisdom, justice aud moderation,”
would be the guide of my administra
tion. Since writing t he ubovo I have
seen a telegram dated the 15th inst.,
from Atlanta, Ga., to the Chicago
Tribune, published in the Augusta
Chronicle and Constitutionalist of the
20th inst., stating that I bad tele
graphed to the Atlanta convention of
independents that I would accept
their nomination for Governor. It is
utterly untrue that I ever sent auy
such telegram, or authorized its being
sent by anybody. Yours,
Alexander H. Stephens.

IN THE HANDS OFASTKANGER.
Our City amt People Keviawed by
a Brother Quill Driver.
Mr. B. H. Richardson, a staff corre
spondent of the Savannah Momintj
News, has been in our oity this week
and “written up the town. 1 ’ We make
a few extracts from his letter. He
says nnder date of February 23d:
The impressions of the stranger vis
iting Brunswick for the first time can
not be otherwise than favorable, as it
is undoubtedly one of the most eligi
bly located and prettily laid out towns
in Georgia, and its approach by rail
is exceedingly picturesque and pleas
ing to the eye. Its naturnl beauty is
wonderful, and its situation convin
ces one that it is capable of great de
velopment, and is destined to become
a large and prosperous city. Facts
showing this prediction well-founded
I will present, as the result of that
careful investigation and close obser
vation which, from force of habit, the
journalist is wont to bestow upou all
matters of importance. Before, how
ever, noting these, mention of other
things will be made.

The approach of the Sixth Annual
Fair of the Glynn County Agricultu
ral Association has necsssnrily stirred
up the people somewhat, and the event
is anticipated with great interest.—
Preparations for the accommodation
of the visitors are being energetically
made, as the indications are there will
be large crowds in attendance from
tbis and adjoining counties. The Nel
son House lias every room already
secured, and it is stated that every
boarding house in the city will be full,
while the hospitality of the private
citizens will be taxed for the enter
tainment of friends. Altogether the
Fair promises to be n big thing.

THE FAIR GROUNDS.
After the adjournment of court yes
terday afternoon I made a trip to the
Fairground« in company with Mr. T.
G. Stacy, of the Brunswick Advertis
er and Appeal. The various buildings
were in excellent order, and the
grounds, which are spacious and are
beautified by a collection of magnifi
cent oaks, have been cleared up, and
presented an inviting appearance.

THE COURT HOUSE.
Court is held iu a one story frame
building with no ooveuionces whatev-
the health
of the city is reinarknble, and up to
to-day there has not been for this
month a single death iu the city.—
From all I hear* it is a very unprom
ising field for doctors. There is no
sick n As of any kind here now, and
the physicians are compelled to culti
vate their stock of patience while
wniting for patients to treat. Its ex
cellent health is due iu a measure to
the thorough drainage of the low
lands around the city, and is a source
of congratulation to the community.
Iu fact, the average Brunswickian
prides himself upon the good health
of the town, and is prompt to pro
duce fiiets and figures which forcibly
demonstrate the correctness of his
position. I cheerfully make tbis
statement, as in April last a corre
spondent of a Northern paper made
assertions of a contrary nature, which
were not well founded, but were inju
rious to the fair name of this city,
nnd whicli excited great- indignation
throughout the community.

Mr. T. O’Connor, Jr., the clever
Clerk of the Court here, is regarded
ns one of the most promisiug and en
terprising young men in the city, and
combines other business with his offi
cial duties.
A large tract of land, on which
there is a l-.vely grove of handsome
oaks, has l> .en laid off tor a pleasure
park by th.- county authorities, and is
being euci sed with a nest wire fence.,
It is on lie shelled road, some two
hundred yards from the rourt’ bouse,
and with little expenditure can be
made a pork of surpassing beauty,
and a great attraction of the town.

The public schools of the county

The river front presents a lively ap-

nble to build a court house, and this
structure was erected by Mr. Jno. M.
Tison, a wealthy and prominent citi
zen and a near relative of the late
Win. H. Tison, of Suvauimh, who has
leased it to the county at n, nominal
sum until such time iis Mio authori
ties may bo able to erect a better aud
more convenient building. By the
way, I um informed that at the resi
dence of Mr. Tison, at Bothel, some
sixteeu miles from this city, the gnl-
laut lamented Gen. Francis S. Bar
tow whh born, and the room whore ho
first saw tho light is inspected by vis
itors with curious interest.
A GROWING AND HEALTHY CITY.
Moses Taylor, the largest stock
holder iu the Central Itailroad, died
in Now York on the 23d inst.
I learn, in conversation with some
of her prominent citizens, that since
the census way taken the population
of Brunswick has increased fully one
thousand, and that the newcomers
are of a thrifty and industrious char
acter. I oau readily believe that this
increase is not exaggerated, as a drive
yesterday afternoon, which I bad the
pleasure of enjoying through the invi
tation of Mr. Putnam, an influential
citizen, behind bis spanking pair of
iwo-year-olds, a remarkably handsome
team, I observed on every street new
stores and dwellings recently complet
ed, nnd a number in course of con
struction. Every building in the city
is occupied, und there is a demand
for more houses. Evidently Bruns
wick has n boom, and her march is
now onward to prosperity and great
ness.
Her lumber and Daval stores trade
has enormously increased, aud a care
ful estimate based upon information
to date justifies the statement that
there wjll be over five hundred ves
sels cleared from the port this year,
as against three hundred und seven
ty-four iu 1881. The value of her ex
ports, foreign and coastwise, in 1880
were $1,055,282, and .in 1881 $2,337,-
075, showing an increase of $081,793,
and tbis year there 6eems to be no
doubt that the exhibit will be still
more flatteriug. It is worthy of men
tion that all the improvements now in
progress are of a substantial charac
ter, and mi inferior building is no
where to be seen among the new ones

There are five churches here—Bap
tist, aleihodist, Episcopal, Catholic
and Presbyterian—all very ueat and
comfortable, but the Presbyterian, in
exterior appearanec and interior fin
ish, would be a credit to any city in
the State. It is a decidedly hand
some edifice.
The telephone exchange will be
opened in a few days. Twenty-five
subscribers were readily obtniued,
and the wires are now being put up.
Brunswick is determined to keep pace
with the progress of tho times.
Tho Appeal, the only papor in the

(iVlVKAU.
Washington Pont.
Guitean, the nssitssiu, will be bung
on Friday, June 30th, just two days
less thau a year from the time he
fired the wnnton shot at the executive
of the uatiou. The four judges of the
Supreme Court of this district have,
after frequent consultations and close
individual examinations of the ques
tions raised by the defense, arrived
unanimously at the' conclusion that
there is no ground on which a now
trial for the murderer could bo legally
asked or allowed. The prisoner will
be taken at once to a solitary cell in
the jail where he is now confined and
placed under a continual guard, bet
ter known as tho death wutch. Every
actiou will be observed ap to the fatal
moment, und not a word will be per
mitted to be spoken to him, except by
bis spiritual advisers or by persons
specially authorized by the warden,
General Crocker, who bus entire
charge of and responsibility for the
assassin from this time on, until his
dead body is ready to be consigned
to the doctors for a post mortem ex
amination. District-Attorney Cork-
bill has determined upon an examina
tion of tho brain of the assassin by a
board of the most eminent medical
experts in the United States, to put
at rest, as he bclioves, by such an ex
amination, forever, the question of his
sanity. After the autopsy the body
will be delivered to the relatives of
the doomed man, if any of them call
for it. Considerable anxiety has been
expressed as to the action of the Su
preme Court of the United States, it
being announced that an application
would be made to that body by de
fendant’s counsel for a writ of habeas
corpus. There are now only two jus
tices of that court in the city—the
court haviug adjourned for the term
Chief Justice Waite and Justice Miller.
The best legal authorities express
Sonbts whether such a writ could be
granted by the full court in session
aud it is not believed that any single
judge will take the responsibility of
passing upon so important a question
when it is recalled that the court was
in session for three months after the
sentence of death was passed. It may,
therefore, reasonably be concluded
that Guitcau will hang as sentenced,
and that there is no earthly hope for
him.
WARNED OF THE WRATH TO COME.
Washington, May 19.—Guitean ad
dressed the following letter to the
Star for publication:
“I tell the American people and its
officials, from the executive down to
the court in banc, who are reviewing
my case, that I tell the truth ‘and lie
not,’ when I say I am God’s man iu
the matter of President GarfielcBs re
moval, aud that if a hair of my head
is harmed, tho Almighty will make the
ofiicials that do it pay for it. If I was
outside I would lecture under the all
spices of some bureau, on religions
subjects. One of my subjects would
be ‘Paul the Apostle and Kindred
topics.’ If my time has eomo to leave
this world I mu willing, but I want
the ofiicials that murder me on the
gallows to understand the issue. If
they murder me they will incur the
wrath of Almighty God, and it will be
a long time before He lots upon them
aud this nation.
