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. P. S.—This letter yon can use as you please. ^ ^ ^ A. H. S.

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. * * * * random notes. 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. J. Wesley Taylor, whose death on his plantation from the effects of in juries received by being struck on the head by falling timber during the Au gust cyclom- has been nn non need by your correspondent “Glynn,” was n Captain in tic- FourM) Georgia Caval ry, and was one of the most popular nnd highly esteemed men iu the county. Mrs. Tompkins, the accomplished wife of Judge Tompkins, accompa nied him on his trip, and has been the recipient of much attention. The public schools of the county are supported at a cost of something over $2,000 per annum, aud are re ported by the Grand Jury to be in a nourishing condition. The river front presents a lively ap- or, and is anything but a cleanly eon-1 poaranco, and there are a number of dition, apparently not having had a vessels loading and discharging at donning up in many months. It the wharves, principally lumber and serves the purposes of the Superior Court, Ordinary and Justices, and is no more creditable to this thriving city Hum is our court house lo Savan nah. i learn that. Hie county was un- 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 j completed. unvnl stores. 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 county, is an excellent journal, and, I am pleased to learn, is on a firm ba sis, and rapidly increasing in circula tion nnd influence. (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. Hon. George It.
