COMMUNICATED.
Atlanta, M«y 28 1883.
Governor McDaniel lias made a
very pleasant impression by the
way he lia-i begun his administra
tion of State affairs. There has
not in a long time been such Pit
appearance of system about the
Opitol. This administration will
not leave any loose ends to be
knit up after it is over. The Got
ernor is a man of great energy, ac
customed to attend to the details
of a large business. He is hot
afraid of work eud he knows how
work ought to be done. One of
the evidences that he means to be
thorough in everything is found in
the faet that he has broken up the
custom of letting the Capitol for
promiscuous purposes. It is true
it is a shabby old Capitol that we
have but the Governor says it is
the State's building and ought to
be kept apart strictly for S'ate
busimss. He refused to allow the
knights of Pythias to hold their
general lodge meeting in it, though
he is a grest friend of the order. A
few days later a large convention
of fruit growers was held in At’anta
and it was al-o refused the same
privilege. These are small inci
dents but they show bow strict are
the Governor’s views of even small
matters in the discharge of his du
ties.
It is considered certai n that he
will be a candidate for another
term and beyond question he will
be very strong. Friends of ex-
Gov. Boynton arc alroady talk
ing of his fitness for the office next
year and 1 suppose he ,na y be
fairly considered in ?!Vc’ race. He
la not a candidate in the sense that
he is mustering up a support. The
admirable dignity he sustained
through the recent passionate can
vass for the nomination gives as
surance that his political method?
will always be high and honorable.
We would have much less mud in
our politics if more i f our politi
cians were like McDaniel and
Boynton. It is a long time until
the next State election hut wires
are already being laid for its mw
agement. As usual there will be
no lack of cmdidates fit and un
fit for the office.
The rumors to the effect that
Gen. Gordon and Gov. Colqu tt
had gotten into serious financial
difficulties in the management of
their Florida railroad enterprise
turn out to b* merely sensational.
Gen Gordon says they were started
' b malicious enemies to i jure him.
Senator Colquitt teem to care little
about them. He goes alwad se
renely with his affairs and counts
as big a host of followers here as
ever. Os the two. as this contrast
would ind cate, Gen. Gordon is
much the mors sensitive and I
think pays too much attention to
little attacks on him. He certainly
enjoys the confidence of the capi
talists who are backing him in bis
big undertaking end really ought
not to Dotice the spiteful flings
which he fiequently dignifi-e with
denial and denunciation.
Some of the newspapers sre try
ing to Bud out bow much Senator
Brown is worth, peculation on
this subject figur s up his wealth
at from one to three millions. A
late article dec’a - es that each day
ot the week except Sunday throws
SI,OOO into- his coffers. He is ad
mitted on all bands to be com brt
ahly fixed for the common needs
cf life aud to be amassing riches
faster than any other man in
Georgia. AH his four sons will
have a fine start in the world. And
every one of them will improve it
I believe for they are all gifted in
different degiees with the cool
judgment and persistent energy
of the old gmtleman. Gov. Brown
is now in Texas looking at soaeot
h s thousands of i-er s out there,
end occasionally giving his Baptist
brethren a good fraternal talk. He
will be home before long. They

Spy.
Cedar Grove, May 25th, ’B3.
In all Republican governments
men have alwa’i differed on polit
ical questions. As long as the bu
rn in u ind is constituted as it is,
men will differ. But freedom of
thought and nerve to give expres
sion to views and arguments are
the most reliable and in fact the
only method of arriving at the
tru ll of any political principle.
The man who is acluuted by con
v.ction of duty can nlwais afford
to be liberal with those who differ
vyitli him in opinion. But the
blind zealot, led by the passions of
tne hour, is always illiberal.
Organized Demoi rat thinks ms
unhapjiy in my former communi
cation and can see nothing in it
but an effort to court Repulicans
and Independents. If I was actu
ated by the motive he imputes to
me, I certainly would never raise
my voice against anything, howev
er corrupt, the convention might
do. Living in a county in which
the organized party is by far the
strongest. I would flatter the lead
ers and bow ic humble submission
to everything they might do. But
the responsibility of citizenship
and my interest in the liiiug issues
of ihe day and the {rand old prin
ciples of the Democratic party com
pel me to purbuea different course.
Something is wrong. Woe re is
it? Somebody is responsible for
the wrong. Who is it? What was
Stephens majority last Octobe:?
What was the majority in the Con
gressional election in November?
Both were behind the parly vote.
What caused this fulling off? It
may be that such flings as was
made by the Aprilcouvention, and
«uch threats as Organized Demo
oral is making, lias had their
natural effect. It is time that these
unkiud remarks should cease, and
that all unite for the grand battle
of 1884 We will need all the help
we can get then.
The effort of some men is to ig
nore principle and run the party
in the interest of a few men; and
the man who does not submit to
be dictated to by these men is to be
denounced as a Radical and Inde
pendent. What man is so blind
that he cam ot see that a small
number of prominent men
endeavor to control the
Democratic pirty for th-ir
own aggrandizement, their l.bera i
ty never lists above that of the
Irishman, who prayed: “Oh, L rd,
have mercy on me and my wife,
and my son John and his wife—u?
four and no more. Amen.” If we
would save the principles of the
Democratic party and Che party it
self, and tx queath to our children
free institutions in their purity,
we must cease our internal strife
and use our weapons against the
er envy. Let principles be fust and
the meu we select to carry them
out be second.
Old Sttle Democrat.
Detected Throngb a Dream.
The death at the Weather-field
State prison recently, after an in
carceration 0f27 yeurt*, of a colored
prisoner, Isaac Randolph, recalls
the circumstances that the detec
tion of hir crime, the murder of
bis wife, was due to a dream. The
murder was committed in this city
in May, 1856. Randolph, then
shout 45 years of age, lived with
his wife in a house rented from
Widiam Tuttle at Washington
street and Howard aven i • Mrs.
Randolph was adaughterof Robert
Coe, who resided near, in Putnam
street. The couple had moved to
New Haven from Waterbary
shortly before the tragedy, Randol
ph working at bis trade as a stone
mason. He war a man of power
ful frame and uncommon strength.
His wile, was jealous of a girl nam
ed Lizzie Coetel'o, and this made
trouble between the married cou
ple. Quarrels of a violent charac
ter were frequent, he on one oc
ca"ion while living in Waterbary,
putting a ro; e around his wil'o’a
neck to strangle her, but re'enting
in time to spare her l ; fe. This \vn«
the start of affaire, and on the Ist
of May Mrs. Randolph called at
the house of her brother. George M
Coe, saying she was about to cut
some greens for dinser, hut she
mu-t hasten, as she had to do her
washing at home. NoDe of tier
relatives saw her alive afterward.
Three days later Randolph called
at the house of his wife’s mother,
saying he wished they would bend
her home, ns he needed her services.
He said that Mary Ann had ruu
away’, taking all her clothing. The
Coe family then vi-ited Randolph’s
house and found it deserted. Th-re
was an appearance as though the
bricks of the collar floor had been
rec ntly cleaned, but this was not
deemed of any consequense in de
termining what hud become of the
aissing woman.
Randolph was arrested, however,
on suspicion, but was diseharg'd
for want of evidence, Justice Ben
nett, who heard the known facts,
advising that he be kept under
surveillance. George M Cce,both
er of Mrs. Randolph kept watch
ofthe house at nights, and found
that Randolph and the Costello
girl were often inside drinking and
laughing together. In July Mr.
Coe, the father of the missing wo
man, had a dream which he could
not forget. lie appeared- to be
spearing eels in a swamp in the
rear of the Tuttle house’. This
missing daughter came to him
wilii his. Shoes, telling him he
would take cold without them. In
his dream he followed her to the
ham near the bouse, and io a
moment heard liar utter an ago
nizing cry. She then faded from
his sight. In speaking of this th**
old man said: “flint dream means
that my daughter is murdered and
buriul near the farm.” Feeling
mreof the iut- rprelation of his
dieatn, be the same night went to
the spot and dug in several places
near the barn. Randolph had at
this time gone to' Waterhury.
Shortly afterwards George M Coe,
the woman’s brother, concluded to
dig uji the whole garden. Some
objection was made by Tuttls,
who did n twant the trees and
sbr l bf disturbed, hut Coe tlireat
ei ed to emp'oy twenty men to dig
if permission were not given him.
With a long rod he sounded the
earth in spots where it appeared
soft to the depth of about three
fiat. .Presently, something was
reached that toll like cloth, and on
excavating the earth the headless
trunk ol the missing woman was
f mud. More digging brought to
light the head, readily recognizable,
and in other places other parts of
her body were found. The hands
and feet were not discovered, Ran
dolph had burned them, intending
to dispose of all the remains by
fire. Finding it not feasible, lie
had changed his method and buri
ed what bad not bsen consumed.
Raiido'ph was arrested in Water
bury and was tried and convicted
of murder, though denying tiis
guilt. He was sentenced to deat I ’.
James I. Keese, his counsel, In ask
ing for a commutation of sentence
made use of the argument that
Randolph was strong and a gooj
workman ; and as the State prison
was about to liaye an addition
benlt he could be uti ized iu the
work. The Legislatuie changed
the sentence to one of imprison
ment for life. When in jail and as
ter the trial, Randolph made* con
fession, saying that on- returning to
bis home at midnight he bad a dis
pute with his wife, who struck him
with a poker. He had then chok
ed her, but without intending to
take her life. He said: ‘ l choked
her longer than I meant to , when
1 loosened uiy g'ip on ber neck I
found she was read. There was
nothing f r me to do but to aet rid
ol the body.” The care at the time
caused great excitement in New
Haieo. Randolph while in prison
was set 'asks which no one hut a
person ot great, strength could per
forin, hut tor several years be had
been almost helplessfrom paralysis.
The Bad Boy.
Heundllls t bum Dissert IDs l*a.
T understand your pa has got
to drinking ngfrin like a fish,' said
the groceryman to the I f.d hoy, as
the youth came in the grocery and
took n handful of dried apples.
The boy ate a dried apple and then
psst up a terrible face, and the gro
coryman asked nitn what 1 1; was
trying to do with his face. The boy
caught his breath and then said •
Say don’t you know any better
tlmrr to keep dried apples where a
Imy can get hold of them when he
has got the mumps. You will kill
ai ms hoy yet by such carelessness.
I thoaght these were sweet dried
app'es, hut they are as sour as a
boarding-house keeper, and they
make me tired. Did you ever have
the mumps? Gosh but don’t it
hurt? You huve g t to be darn
careful when you l ave got the
mumps, and not go out bobsled
ding or skating or v u will liaye
your head eweh up biggero a milk
pail. Pa says he had the mumps
once wlier. he was a boy and B
broke him all up.’
•Well, never mind the mumps,
how about yerrr father spreeing it?
Try one of dieso pickles there in
the jar, won’t yon ? I always like
to baye a boy enjoy himself when
he comes to see me,’ said the gro
cery man, winking at a man who
was filling an old fashioned tin
box with tobacco out of the pail,
who winl ed back ns much as to
say, if that hoy eats a pickle on top
of them mumps we wi.l have a cir
cus here sure.’
‘You can’t ploy no pickle on
me, not when I linve the mumps.
Ma passed the pickle to me this
morning and I took one mouthful,
and like to had tho lockjaw. But
ma didn't no it on purpose. 1
guess'she never had any mumps
and didn’t know how discourngii g
;i pickle is. Darn if I didn't feel
as though I bad been hit in the
bur of the ear with a brick. But

a ‘ear, and 1 guess-1 fixed him this
time so be will neyer touch liquor
again. I scared him so his baid
head turned gray in one night.’
‘What under tt:« heavens huve
you done to him now,’ Said the
groceryman in astonishment. ‘1
hope you havn't done anything
vou will regret in after ycats.’
‘Regret nothing,’ said lie hoy as
be turned the lid of the cheese box

*'l said he was awful tough, and
when we had vot < A'his 1-gs and

looked at pa on the table and ha

an icicle, and in the dim light cf
the candles that wore Bitting on t! 8
table in heer boUlea, 1 drew the
icicle across pa’s stomach, and I
said to mv chum, ‘Doc, I guiss we
had better i,pan this old dulltr at d t
see if lie died from iuflimation of'ho j
stomach from hard drinking, as the
coroner said lie did.’ l'u shuddered
all over his bare stummick and
enid, ‘For God’s sake, gentlemen,
what does this mean. 1 am cot
dead. The other boys looked at
pa in astonishment and said, 'well,
vrojust bought you for dead, and
the coroner’s jury said you were
dead, and we ain’t going to be fool
ed out of a eorpsn when wo buy
one, are we Doc?’ My churrr said
not lfhe knew himself anil the oth
er student said, Os course he is.
lie thinks he is alive, but ho died
day before yesteiday, fell dead on
the street, and bis lolku said be

w iuld clam the corpse, and we
b night it ut the morgue.’ Then I
dn W the icicle actoss him again,
am) suid, ‘don’t know about this
doctor. I Hnd the blood follows
the scalpel as I cut through tha
cuticle. lland me the blood s| tv go

around, and we looked at him and
iny (ilium raised his eycied and pa

into me any more, 1 can explain I
tins matter. I wus onfy drunk.’ ,
We. w,ditto a corner and whispered, ’
and pit kept talking all the lira -. |
He said if we would postpone the
hog killing lie would send and j
get witnc si-s that he was not
dead, but that lie was a reipact
ib’e c’tizen and had a family.
Alter wo held u con uHation I
went !o pa and told him tlutwhat
be said about being alive might
possibly be true, though we bad
our doubts. We bad found such
cases before in our practice east,
where men seem to be alive, bit it
was only temporary. Before we
had got them cut up they were
daad enough for «1 ! practicd pur
poses. Then I laid the icicle across
pa’s abdomen, and wer.t oil to till
him that even if he was alive it
woti'd be better to play that be .
