Senator Brown's lRte speech, taken as

No great damage would result if those
who make a profession of forging titles to

fifteen or twenty minutes, by way of en
forcing on Ihent lessons of common bon-

Tiie Stale authorities did not begin to
move against the land pirates in lower
Georgia a moment too soon. Are the comi
ty officials In that section alive to the im
portance of putting an end to land steal
ing?
Oenebal Woolvosd, Democratic repre
sentative lrom Kentucky, who was a
Union ntan, delivered the oration at Ar
lington. He suid if there had necn no
praycra, no men, no votes for the nation's
defense save those called In party par
lance Itepubllcan, the llug would have
gone down. ,
Treke is no need In Georgia for a legis
lature that hasn't wit enougit to devise a
law, under which land-stealing can be
broken up. It ought not to be a difficult
matter to provide a means to run down
tbo manufacturers of fraudlent titles, and
it ought to be a labor ol love to tire legis
lature to provide a statute tinder which
they could be elatl In stripe* for a long
farm of years. _

“SaasToa Brown Is In danger of being

for a ruler that issues ills edicts from
an invalid’s chair.
In the earlier and better daya of the
republic, it would have been thought
a strange thing if one tiad proposed
going into some private infirmary to
select a man for the chief magistracy of
the country. At no time in the history
of this great and growing nationality
lias there ever been an occasion when
such a policy was so much at variance
with every consideration of the public
good as at the present time
A half century, or three-quarters
of a century, ago, the government may
be said almost to have run itself. The
man at the helm need not have been
physically strong, to meet and properly
discharge the duties of that station.
But times have changed. Tito duties
of the Presidency have become vastly
more numerous and more arduous, in
themselves considered. Added to this,
there lias been nearly a quarter of
a century of misrule. Hundreds
of evils have crept into gov
ernmental methods. Corrupliott lias
honeycomlted all the departments, and
the stain of improper methods lias af
fixed itself to even the holy of holies of
our governmental system. To make
tlieneccssary investigations, to discover
past and present irregularities, to trace
the hundreds ol evils to their sources,
to uncover frauds and rascalities in low
places and in high places and to re
store the government to its normal
state of honesty, will require no ordi
nary strength and endurance—to say
nothing of moral and physical
courage—on the part oi the com
ing leader in administrative reform.
Well may our Memphis contempora
ry ask, in view of the Herculean labors
of the position, what can a feeble old
than, smitten with disease and tremb
ling on the verge of the grave, do to
meet tho demands of the occasion? If
it were not known that there is a sol
emn purpose to harness Paralysis to
tiie wheel, anti forco it, under whip
and spur, to tug at tiie mountainous
load of evils, that itavo been accumu
luting through twenty-four years of
corruption and misrule, it would seem
to he a mere vagary—a wicked jest of
tiie enemies of reform. “Truth is
nighty and w ill prevail,” provided her
battles are ably fought by forces strong
ly and efficiently led. A paralytic
may win victories over liis friends.
It would lie a puzzle should ho win
them over his enemies. In tho pres
ence of strong leaders it would be a con
fession of weakness to summon Infir
mity to tiie front.
We are unable to say what Demo
crats want with such leadership as
that. The country needs other leader
ship. Every consideration of reform
and good government demands some
thing more titan tiie feeble embodi
ment oi a sentiment, to marshal the
forces that arc to meet giant evils in
the coming struggle.
Tiie issue is one of more titan ordi
nary importance, and it should bo met
in a spirit not even remotely related to
that of personalism. Let tieorgiasemi

Cotton Statement#
The following cotton facta are gath
ered from the Chronicle’s article of May
30:
Foi the week ending May 30,the total re
ceipts have reached 8,129 bales, against $,*63
bale* last week, 8,694 bales the previous week
and 15,(57 bales three weeks since: making the
total receipts since the 1st of September, 18&3
4,751,6*2 bales, against 5,824,18* bales for the
same period of 1882-*3, showing a decrease
since September !, 1883. of 1,072,521 bales.
The receipts at the interior towns the
past week reach 4,9S0bales; since Sep
tember 1, 2,825,»40 bales. Tiie receipts
at the same towns are 5,774 bales less
than the same week last year, nnd a
falling off for the season of 085,-
455 bales.
Macon is credited with hales
for the week, and with 50,901 bales for
the season. As compared with last
year, this shows a decrease of 15 hales
for the week, and an increase for the
season of 2,546 bales.
The amount of cotton substantially
in sight on the evening of the 30th,
was 5,577,406 bales, a decrease as com
pared with last year, of 1,219,830 bales.
The imports for the week were 47,-
000 bales. The exports reached 17,442
bales, of which 15,478 were to Great
Britain, 99 to France, 805 to the rest of
the continent.
Speaking of the fluctuations for the
week the Chronicle says:
The week under review has been much
quieter in the speculation for future delivery,
and the fluctuations in prices much lew im
portant than last week. On Wednesday no
tice* of delivery on June contracts came out
quite freely, nnd being thrown upon the
ket, declined a few points, while the next crop
nlso favored buyer*, though to a smaller ex
tent only. There 1ms been ft slight increase in
the movement of cotton, due, probably, to tho
financial pressure. Yesterday there was less
depression, but a dull market, especially for
the next crop. The close was at a decline of
7 to 11 points for this crop and 2 to 4 points for
the next- Cotton on the spot has continued to

[special CO UUE*> pox pence. 1
Atlanta, June 2.—One must go back
quite a while In the history of Atlanta to
find an occurrence which gave rise to fcuch
public comment and general and genuine
regret ns the attempted suicide of Mr.
Arch Orme. The official position he held
brought him into special prominence, and
Ids social standing nnd family connection*,
his gentlemanly manners and generous
instincts attracted to him a large circle of
friends. The attempted self-destruction
and the deplorable condition in which it
has left Mr. Orme. has overwhelmed his
friend* with surprise and pain. Since they
went to him near Ponce de Leon Spring* .
on Saturday until the preseut hour, they rt
have been anxious and in suspense, fear
ing the worst, and almost without hope.
Mr Orme has been all the*inic conscious,
save when sleeping, and ha* had no very
alarming symptoms. He slept well 'ari
night, and this morning his condition is
improving. At noon your correspondent
interviewed Dr. Ridley, the attending phy-
dcian. and learned from him that while
the wounded tuan is no means
out of danger, hi* conition has
slightly improved. He slept last
night without an anodyne, and this morn
ing his pulse is 80 and hi* temperature 101.
The wound was prolied about an inch and
a half. No further effort has been made tu
find the ball, for fear of fatal results. Dr.
Ridley thinks the ball has lodged against
die byain. It is still inipomible to measure
the chances of recovery, but he is more
hopeful to-day than .ho has yet baea. Mr.
)tiuc seems perfectly indifferent as to
yhetber be will live or die, has been cool
ind self-possessed, and has at no time in-
tolrea of his physicians as to his condition.
About the streets the report is current
.hat Mr. Orme is improving and will
pTobabiy get well.
What was the motive or reason of the
attempt at suicide? This topic is more or
less engaging the minds of every one,
though 1 believe no statement has yet been
made sufllciently reliable to set the matter
at rest. The public seems, however, to
have settled to the opinion thnt financial
trouble connected with his otfice was the
controlling cause. Reported investitfotions
point to a shortage of seventeen or eigh
teen thousand dollarv, divided
between tho West i’olnt, Central.
Georgia. Richmond nnd Danville and
Georgia Pacific railroads. The West Point
ruilroad, it is understood, had no bond,
and finding the office behind with that
road between $7,0C6 and $8,0U0, had al
ready instituted suit nnd garnisheed funds
lying in the bank, w “ * “ J ‘“

HORSE OCARD RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions, passed at a
meeting of the Governor’s Horse Guard
last night, have been handed to me, A
handsome copy will be forwarded to Ma
con as soon as it can be engrossed. The
members of the compauy are still talking
Macon, and seem to never tire of the sub
ject:
Resolved t. That the East Tennessee. Vir
ginia and Georgia ruilroad, having in cvcrjr
way iu ihcir power consulted the convenience
and comfort of tho Horse Guard during their
recent trip to Macon, furnishing cxcolleut fa
cilities for the accommodation and transpor
tation of fifty active mt-mltcrs of tho Guard,
forty-three home*, arms, accoutrements, bag-
gaga« etc., together with a large number of ex
cursionists, and the whole transported with
comfort, safety and dispatch, and at most
reasonable and generous rates, in every par
ticular demonstrating a liberality of spirit
characteristic of the management of that
company, it is resolvcdtlmtthe hearty thauks
of the Horse Guard be extended to the officials
of the East Teunessee, Virginia and*Ueorgla

Spring Drouth.
It is very rarely that the Southern
Stated are visited by a spring dronth.
Our dry weather, especially when it is
o( long continuance, comes in the sum
mer and fall, and very rarely in the
spring. Last year, which was excep
tional with regard to the light rainfall,
was seasonable in the spring months,
nnd it was midsummer before tho un-
paralleled drouth of 1883 set in.
We have just entered upon summer
and yet in two-thirds ot tho State, with
local exceptions, a drouth lias prevailed
for gomo weeks. Tiie small grain has
been greatly damaged, and
in the northern part of the
State, tho clover and
grans have been cut off more titan one-
half. Tito oat crop, whether fall or
spring sown, is hardly worth harvest
ing in many portions of the State.
The short forage crop may be eked
out by a littoral sowing of pens as soon
os the small grain lias been harvested.
Nothing makes n better or more nutri
tious feed for horses, cows anti hogs
than pea-vine hay cut and cured just
before tho peas begin to turn brown
If sorghum nnd pop-corn are gown
broadcast with tiie pens, tho joint
yield, witli anything like an average
season, will be enormous. The more
Ultoraiiy the land is manured, the more
abundant will bo the crop.
Chicago.
The reader is again referred to our
telegraphic dispatches for the latest in
telligence from the Ucpublican conven
tion.
Tho convention does not move off
smoothly. Like the Democrats, the
Republicans have their hard heads and
their soft heads, and each class is satis
fied that all wisdom will die with itself,
Tiie troubles which beset tho conven
tion arc doubtless serious enough,
otherwise there would not he so
much delay. Neither tiie Blaine men
nor the anti-Blaine men feel strong
enough or sure enough to join battle,
Both Bides are probably playing for
time.
The defeat of Powell Clayton, and
tin election of Lynch as temporary
chairman,was a masterly plcco of work
and has not been without
its effect. Blaine's forces do not
seem to be as skillfully handled
as those of the opposition. It may he
that ho will not secure the prizo, but it
still looks ns if it will bo Blaine—pos
sibly Edmonds—or a now man. And
yet if the balloting can lie protracted
the convention may, from sheer disgust
and exhaustion, decide to give the
nomination to Arthur, who is already
in office, and who, unlikohis competi
tors, will not seek a re-election four
years hence.
Mr. Orrno was under
liona with the other roads, or some of
them, with his father, W. P. Orme, of
WcstJ'oint, and L. P. Grant, sureties. 'I
have heard that the Richmond and Dan
ville and the Central railroad had dally
settlement with tho union ticket office, and
could hardly have carried any heavy bal
ance in the office.
It is further a part nnd parcel of
these reports that should investigation dis
close any shortage or deficiency, it will
K miptly be made good. Those who best
ew Mr. Arch Orme do not credit these
reports, and still insist that his accounts
will he found all right. It la to be hoped
that they may so prove. However, the re-

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
Decatur street was tiie scene of a tragedy I
resterdsy evening which tuny result in
Ding the coroner an engagement. Late
in the afternoon, several hundred yards
below the Air Line depot. Jack
Donnelly, an Irishman, who has
lately oeen working in the Air Line
shops had an altercation with Ben Childs,
a fireman on the road, about n very tri
lling matter. Donnelly was drinking and
|quair«4iome. During the first bout be
knocked Childs down and heat him con
siderably. Friends interfered and the par-r
ties separated. A short while after theyl
met again on the street and Donnelly made
another assault uimmi Childs, using a rolJ
whowi'.l compete with the Macon hoys
next Saturday. A meeting is to be held
to-night for that purpose, anti I may be
able to send down for publication to-mor

•tgirdflcnnt Advice,
Tt— "Ml«<!eif)hia Times sayfl! "Look
to ttie Vicc-l’residency. Tho Vice-
President has been President ono-
third of the last forty-three years.” It
is a highly projier and important tiling
to look to the Vice-Presidency at any
and all times, if for no other reason
titan tiie frail and uncertain tenure of
life. The reason given by the Times is
a strong and an additional one. Vice-
Presidents have held porter one-third
of the time during the last forty-three
year*. There are yet other reasons,
those of qualification in the man him
self and geographical location. Under
our system ot politics the last it all im
portant. Just now the wonts of warn
ing from the Times come with peculiar
force.
There is evidently a'weli organized
scheme to nominate Mr. Tilden. This
organization lias permeated the entire
country, and by its audacity and in
dustry has dominated the opinion of
men.
Rut little or nothing has been said
about the man who shall ride behind
him, in case the plan is successful. It
From Blbanr to Columbus.
Tho Albany Medium informs us that
tiie people of Columbus, Dawson and
Albany pro|>oso to build a railroad from
Albany to Columbus via Dawson, "in
dependent of railroad corporations.”
Tiie Medium invites our particular at
tention to the enterprise,and to the fact
thnt its projectors have no fenrs of the
Railroad Commission.
Wo aro rejoiced to learn that our
friends are blessed witli sufficient means
to build such a.line, “independent of
railroad corporations,” and that they
have no fenrs of the commissicn. In
no other part of tiie State is money so
abundant. Indeed, wo are unable at
this time to recall a road that lias been
constructed nnd equipped in Georgia
since tho war, without the aid of tiie
State, "railroad cori»>rations,” or out
side capital. We are glad to learn that
the new road will he an exception to
the rule.
Our contemporary manifests some
slight distaste for railroad corpora
tions. But what, we would inquire,
will the new enterprise he, when com
pleted, hut one of those same corpora
tions? We fear the Medium, as well
os the people along the route of the
projected tine, will do os the rest of
mankind have done—throw up their
hats to the road until it has been
finished, and then pelt it witli stones
for the remainder of their natural lives,
.Such has been the way of the world
and such it will continue to he. The
new road will not escape the * a * c
other i.ads in this respect, and the
commission will apply to it the same
iron rule it has applied to all others.
It is a curious fact in the history of
railways, that everybody is in favor of

A Fair of Tiny Adventurers on tha San
of Matrimony
Special to the World.
London, May IS.—Tho midgets,
Qen. Mite and Millie Edward, were
married this morning at the Registrar’s
oflicc in Manchester. Both were car
ried upstairs enveloped in shawls and
placed on a low office table. They
were perfectly self-possessed and an
swered the usual questions and repeat
ed the declarations distinctly, hut in a
thin, piping voice. After the irinrriuge
they breakfasted at the Grand Hotel.
In the afternoon the religious cere
mony was celebrated in a large public
hall, which was elaborately decorated
witli lings nnd fiowera, and packed witli
people. Among the features of the
decorations was an enorinoua wedding
eako which could have served as a res
idence for the bride and groom, and
which after being exhibited was cut
nnd distributed in tittle satin-covered
1 Mixes to the ladies present as they left
the hall. The liana of tiie Third Dra
goons was in attendance and played a
wedding march as tiie unique proces
sion came down theaisle. The bride’s
costume was of cream-colored satin,
with pearls and orange blossoms, and
the groom wore a full dress uniform
and sword of a major-general of the Unl-
ted States Army. The bridesmaids
were Miss Thomton, a local belle of
Manchester, and Miss Alice Flvnn, the
groom’s sister. The General’s beat
man was Herr Ulpts, a German dwarf.
The officiating clergvman was the Rev.
Mr. Mackie, a Presbyterian minister.
After the ceremony the happy little
couple were driven to tiie station to
liegin their honeymoon tour of the
Continent. '
