Engineer Folks Dead. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM.] Wavcross, Oa., February 20.—Chauncey Polks the engineer who was reported as severely injured in the collision on Savannah, Florida and Western railway night, died to-day at about 1 o'clock p. m hi, brother. Dr. F. 0. Folks, assisted by Dr W. H. Whitehead, amputated his leftlec between the knee nnd the thigh «»n alter the accident last night, but it is probable that internal injuries, unfore seen at the time, operated to cause the mortal hurt to the unfortunate ongincer. Mr. Folks was a son of the mayorof Way- cross, Dr. W. B. Folks. He was a highly respected citizen of the town, and leaves a 0wife and four small children. A Quick Recovery.

' Ixwdon, February 18.—The Time* this morning, in discuming General Gordon's Khartoum proclamation ol yesterday, ■eys: "General Gordon is well awafo that steps are being taken In lower Kgypl to discourage amnestic slavery. He knows too that England's guarantee of tbo Red H*a ports cuts off tbs means of exit by which slavee have liecn disposed of to other countriee, while he believes that bis own work in the Congo country will effec tually cheek the inlloiv of slaves. In view of theso facta the clause in General Gor don’s proclamation removing all restric tions upon the stave trade assumes the character of little practical significance.'' Murder in Hazard# The report came in yesterday that a murder hod been committed in the Haz ard district over three weeks ago, and yet no mention had been made to the Solid- tor-General or any other officer of the county. There can he no doubt that there was a murder committed, but the report came in too late yesterday afternoon to get either names or details.

February 19.—It becomes my r,ad duty to chronicle a most distressing event which occurred hero this morn ing as the Northern bound fast mail passed this point. This train brings the morning issue of vour valuable paper, a journal looked for witli eager anxiety by its many readers. In throw ing the same from the train (it does not stop here) the mail agent missed his mark, and, horrible to relate, the package rolled back under tho wheels, cutting it up and scattering the papers for a distance of some two hundred yards. Hence, wo aro without our Telegraph this morning. A servant employed in the family of G. W. White, l!sq., disappeared very mysteriously during Monday night, nnd though diligent search has been made for her since, her whereabouts has not yet been discovered. She was living in the yard other employer, con sidered entirely trustworthy, and her strange freak, if such it is, cannot be accounted for. Everything in her little house is in good order; nothing is missing. Superstitious as most negroes are, it may be that a screeching owl, with them a sign of a death, and heard by her not long since, may have re visited tho neighborhood and frighten ed her out of her wits. But the ques tion is: Where is she? Captain \V. H. Hartnett is confined to his bed, caused by tho breaking out of an old wound, received by him in his right arm during the late unpleas antness. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mr. J. J. Little, formerly a citizen of Griffin, but now claiming Fort Smith, Arkansas, as his home, is paying this, his old home, a visit. Ho is ac companied by bis daughter, Miss Jessie, who will attend the Lucy Cobb Institute at Athens. - Judge A. A. Porter, an old and esteemed citizen of this place, is quite ill at his residence on Poplar street. April weather is visiting us to-day. We’ve had thunder, wind and ram within the last hour. CONYERS. SUPEBIOB COURT—POLITICIANS AT WORK —the issue is "whisky oe no wins KY.” February 18.—Rockdale Superior Court convened to-day, Hon. John D. Stewart, judge of said court, presiding. Judge Stewart delivered a very able charge to the grand jury, and among other truths stated that "pistols and whisky were two of the greatest agents the devil used to destroy the world.” We notice, besides our local bar, Hon. F. A. Irwin, of Cobb, nnd Captain J. M. Pace, of Covington, in attendance. Solicitor-GeneralE. Wo mack is also on hand, and is a terror to ovil doers. •Col. L. F. Livingston was on our streets to-day shaking hands with his numerous friends. Capt. Harry Jackson, of Atlanta, is hero also, looking after his political in terests. Capt. Jackson is doing some tall electioneering in Rockdale, and is making many friends among our peo ple, and I would not be tho least sur- 8 rised if he succeeds in winning tho elegation from this county. Mr. Hammond lias many followers here, and some of our leading poli ticians espouse his cause, and declare tiiat he is entitled to the support of Rockdale county, and must have it. Altogether, tho race will bo between Jackson and Hammond, and neither has tho advantage of tho other. No one lias yet had the courage to declare himself a candidate for representative. Many prominent gentleman arc spoken of. Among tho number Dr. J. A. Stewart, Jndge A. C.McCalia, Judge George W. Glcaton nnd Col. W. Peek, ourpresent representative. I think the issue will bo "whisky” or "no whisky” and I think furthermore tho whisky side will get left as usual. Capt. J. M. Zackry returned from Florida to-day, where ho lias been since October last. It is rumored that Maj. John Green, general manager of tho Georgia rallroud, will change tlio Covington and Atlanta accommodation train ami havo it stop at Lithonia, six miles above Conyers; and a petition is going tho rounds and being signed by many of our citixcnsand business men asking him if any cliango is made to mako Conyers tlie terminus instead of Litho nia. Cost of trie Capital. Washington Republic. I have been figuring up wbet this capita of ours has cost us sinco the beginning, and 1 find tbit the amount is over $1<W- 000,000. The subject was investigated by Congress In 1870. The total stthstHme was a cost of 8WJW2.423; since then 85.Wp.000 has been paid out for nublic buildings ■done, and the amounts paid out for works of art, park decorations and other Uilngs will run the total far ahead of Hie amounts above stated. For a number of years it has cost more than 81.000,000 a year to nar the government expenses of tho Dis trict of Columbia, nnd since 1802 the amounts have been much higher. Jto 1873 the amount was more than 88,000 (MO. In 1875 the .mount wes more than $7,- 000000, while from 1828 to 1852 It wsi less thin 81,000.000 a year. In 1814 only 81.800 was appropriated for the Dis trict ot Columbia, and it was not until 1837 that the yearly proportion reached 81,000.. 000. It is interesting to look orsr the Hems of permanert improvements in Washington. These include the original cost ot (tlie buildings end their repairs, furnishing and keeping in order. The fob lowing estimate, fficmgta not exactly cor. rect, h approximately so. It Is less rather than greater than the actual coat, some of •the minor expenses daring the past seven year being omitted, The capital hu coat 817.773,121; the patent office, over 813.000.- 000; Hie treasury about 87,200,OW; the Washington streets, more Uun 8p.0ppJX»( the State department about S. .000,000; the r»vy nearly 84.BW.iW); the White Home, two parks and pabUc grounds, about 82,■ 000,000. m Tho Southern Pool Wasminoton, February 20.—The South ern Railway and ffiearaohip Association met again tiwlay and adjusted tlie difficul ties which threatened, fast night, to dis rupt the association. The following reso. lufion was adopted: "Aa the continuance of the a— h iatiou is considered of great importance to its “^/fc’Starrf, That the agreement of Octo ber 21,1883,be put in effect and continued in force until July 1st, 1884, with the under standing that the executive committee will have power on tho first of June next to continue it till January 1st, IMS, by unanimous agreement, bin If unabU to agree upon so doing, then a meeting ofthe a--.» iation oa or before the first of July shall be held to consider the question of lu Again! and Again.

Dauphin, of New Orleani, to., will tell you about on application. 8lgnlng Petitions. Exchange. It is a frequent saying that you can get a man to sign a petition for anything. In Cincinnati a year or two ago one promi nent merchant tot another $100 that he could get one hundred first-class signatures among the members of the Chamber of Commerce asking for the immediate execu tion of the mayor of the city for gross inal- feasance in office. The man who proposed tlie tot at once drew up a petition reciting imaginary wrongs on the part of the mayor and asking the Legislature (which haa no authority over him) to hang him for them. Going from one business friend to another, he said: "Here’s a litt e petition I want you to sign. It’s all right. Just a needed change in the city government. Hurry 'ip; give me your name." Before the close f the business day he was able to tack that ridiculous petition on the wall with one hundred signatures hanging to it. That isn’t done every day, but something like FINANCIAL.

So many persons suiler with habitual costiveness. A dose of Norman’s Neutral izing Cordial after each meal, will break up tho most stubborn case. It gives tone to the stomach thereby stimulating the liver to healthy action. Congressman Hammond. B&vannah News. Representative Hammond is at his home in Atlanta on a short visit to recuperate his health. He has taken very little part in the proceedings of Congress this winter on account of serious illness. There ap pears to to an impression that he will not secure a renomination without a struggle. It may be that this impression is created by those who are seeking tho position which he occupies. Mr. Hammond is rec ognized in Washington as one of the ablest men in Congress. It is certain that he is a conscientious worker, and that there are few, if any, who have a better acquaint ance witli the leading measures before Congress. His retirement from public life would to a loss to Georgia. As capable a man might to chosen to succeed him, but it would take m new man a good while to become as well equipped for legislative work in Congress as Mr. Hammond is. A faithful and capable representative ought to to kept in Congress as long os he will consent to remain there. The disfiguring eruptions on the face, the sunken eyes, the pallid complexion, indicate that there is something wrong going on within. Expel the lurking foe to health, Ayer’s 8arsapari)la was devised for that purpose; ana docs it. Arthur the Candidate and the Bfooay Shirt the Issue. Mr. J. B. McCaUagh. editor of the Globe- Democrat, has been interviewed to the extent ot nearly a column by tho Post- Dispatch on the Republican nomination for'Prcsident. He seems to think that Arthur will get tho nomination. He gives him credit for a large partion of what he calls the reduction of the Democratic ma jority in New York from 103.000 to 20,000. rad says that il Arthur can secure a major- ly of the New York delegation, and he thinks he can, he will get tho Presidential nomination. Edmunds is the Attest man for tho position, but is not as strong as Arthur; and Logan, he says, stands no showing at all. zle will only get a compli mentary vote. He says that Arthur nos made a careful, upright and eminently fair administration, one that will require no defense from his party. The tariff question, he says, will not to an issue. When asked what would be tlio issue he replied: "The bloody shirt, and that sort of thing." "Don’tjrou think that dboatwom out?" "Not by any means. There are at least two moro Presidents in the bloody shirt," was the reply. October coupons..

Washington, February 17.—Congreszl has been In session more than two months of what Is known as a Presidential year, and both i«rUes have confronted each other In silence, without a positive move ment having been made on either aide likely to effect the election next November. It was Intended by ono wing of tho Demo cracy to make thvtariff Hie most marked line of separation between the Democrats and Republicans; but both sides are more or less distracted by the economic theories that are respectively urged by the advo cates of protection and ot tariff reform, and as no bin on Uiia subject is likely to pass at the present session. It may be dismissed for the action or the silence of the two national convenUons. The real and practical difference between the two parties la In the adminlstraUon of the government That difference has been broadly defined since the close of the civil war, and bos led to repeated defeats of Hie Republicans, beginning with the elecUou of Mr. Tilden in 1*7:1 By their acta, and throughout their long [possession of power. The Republicans have distineHy declared in favor ofthe largest public expenditures,and for extrav agance in carrying on the government. Thla policy has ledto the continuation of [war taxes like the internal revenue, andl inevitably to corrnpUoh, jobbery and de- ■eralixaUon.
