Saturday ni^t s negro man was instantly killed by “vSjtfrds ^morning, in the quiet of the Uihhsth at his own homo, in the presence nthii wife and brother, John Brldgen, a white man, and, as I am informed, an ex- barkeeper, cat his throat from ear to ear igh , razor, dying almost instantly. Men- til depression because ont of work and out of health is assigned ns the motive for the iriclde. It is reported also that a negro woman via found in one of. the lumber yards of the city dead and had apparently been dead several days. This may not be a complete list but it is sufficient as corroborating the opinion ad- ,meed by the undertaker. IXDOHKIXO BkYAST. The report comes from Washington that J E Bryant owes his appointment as mar- ihit for the northern district of Georgia to the indorsement of Senators Brown and Colquitt. Or rather,to be moie exact, that the President would not have given Bryant the appointment without the assurance Irom both the Georgia Senators that they would not oppose his confirmation and that such assurance was given. That is the shape in which the matter has been re ported here. It is rather difficult lo believe that either of the distinguished Senators irom Georgia would have countenanced in inv shape or form the saddling oi Bryant in any ofilcia! ca pacity upon the people of Georgia, or bite assured the President beforehand that they would not otter objection to his confirmiUon, which would bo practically an indorsement. Howerer, it is so reported and talked of, sad I to led to infer this morning that Bryant or some of his friends were using it u a kind of bolster or prop, so to speak. While he needs all the bolsters and props he can get. it will not be readily believed that the Georgia Senators contributed either. Did they? II is s matter of belief about the custom house that both Camp and Myler will be convicted of embodiment, as charged r ust them. Both, I understand, are in ■lough of despond. Col. J. H. Martin, the veteran editor of the Home Courier, is in the city to-day. Major Frankl Warren, the popular land lord o( Woodstock Hotel, Anniston, is in town to-day. lie talks Anniston and the Woodstock Hotel all the time. Burglaries are on tlio increase here. The thisvuare getting to bold that they do noteooflne their robberies to the night Hoe. but enter booses in the day and car- ryofi what loot they can seize. A brace otugro thieves entered a house on Hun ter street this morning, while the mistress of the house was at her pfano, and gather- w up various articles of value. They were diseovored before finishing their work, tnd tied. It is unfortunate that they sue ended in escaping without detection. • with him at a point between Birmingham and Decatur.

This morning E. J. Hamilton, clerk of the Superior Court of Whitfield county, ap peared before the Governor in behalf of Woods, and claimed the 9200 reward, which had been offered for Petit’s arrest. The Governor declined to pay the re ward, Inasmuch as it had been offered for Petit's arrest alive, and not for his dead body. An application will be made to the next Legislature praying the payment of the reward. HENDRICKS AND THE HAWKEYE MAN. Burdette Tells How He Once Dined With tho Democratic Candidate. Brooklyn Eagle. Do you know 1 have a very, very pleas ant recollection of Mr. Hendricks? The only Mr. Hendricks in the world just now, of coarse. I never met him bnt once, and then I had the honor of dining with him.

Gaikesville, August 4.—A shocking homicide occurred about one mile from town last Saturday. The unfortunate and Innocent victim was a child eighteen months old. Fain, its father, and a worth less one, too, married a Peeler, and last Saturday old Mrs. Feeler went over to his house to give him apieeeo/her mind.

It was this way: I had been lec turing after the “count” of 1870, out in the vast, free, glorious West. I ww hasten ing home to Burlington, over the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. On that same day Mr. Hendricks was on his way to Califor nia. Both day trains on the Quincy road dined at Wormiey’s, at Chariton, Iowa. Mr. Wormley met me at the door of the dining-room with even more than the usu al cordiality. Said he to me: “Good, 1 have company tor you to-day. Come rightover to this table.” I followed him, and toeed a gentleman so much better looking than bis campaign portraits that I did not recognize Mr. Hen dricks until we were introduced. His face was pretty attractive. His manner no less charming. I was pleased that fate had cast me m his way; that is, I was at first. He was so pleasant. I liked him. Early in the coarse of a brilliant conversation about the weather, he said: ’•You are the young gentleman who writes the poetry on the Hawkeye, I be. lieve.” Ahd you never saw a more be witching smile on a man’s face. Now, that waa the very thing I didn’t want to talk about I had been writing whole pages of campaign •’poetry," they call it in the Itawkeye, hut, yon under stand, that excellent family paper wasn’t exactly a Democratic paper. At least, it was no more Democratic than the most rantankerons. rally round the flag, boys, third term, Hayes and the whole ticket, Republican paper of Republican Iowa, coaid be expected to be. It was just about as Democratic as the Eagle is Republican. And I knew what kind of “poetry" 1 had been writing. I fidgeted a little, poured a spoonful of sugar in my sonp, and owned up that I was tne man. Then 1 asked him how long he expected to remain in Califor nia. He told me, and then said: "There was ths little poem”—now, see how kind he was -be called it a poem. “There wasone little poem yon wrote, beginning; ‘There was an old hoosier as I’ve heard tell’— now, how did the rest of that go?” Go? It went tor him, tooth, claw and toe-nail, and I knew it, and I believe he knew it. I feebly said: "I don’t remem ber,” emptied the salt into my coffee, and “hoped he would find rest and returning health in California.” I also hoped that I would die in a few moments, bat I didn’t say so. Ho thanked me in his courteous manner for the wish I expressed, and then went on. "There was another, a good one; I can recollect only the second stanza; how did the first one ran?" And therewith he quoted a few lines of one of the meanest things I ever wrote about any man. While he quoted my prize poem, pretending to forget the stan za that referred to himself, I was confused, but I seemed abstracted, as I spread five the muzzle of the gun in one band to stop her boy’s rash act, and held the child in the other arm. The boy. though, polled the trigger and tha load oi shot struck the lisck of the child's head, scattering ito brains all over the house. Of course the child was killed instantly. Mrs. Feeler and her ion were arrested and lodged in jail to await the preliminary trial, which to sat for 10 o'clock this morn ing. Such'arc the (acta In this sad affair. Protection from Lightning.

Well, the long and short of it to, Mr. Hendricks remembered every mean poem I had written about Mr. Tilueu and him self during the bitter campaign, and he could quote just enough of the innocent, lod-natured lines of each one to show me at he had read iL I never saw a man with such a memory.

I ought to have licked Worm' Icy while newas helpless. It was theonljr chance I ever had. And I never dined again with Mr, Hendricks. HON. MILTON P. REESE, The cotton in some sections is affect ed by rust, nnd it is generally reported to bo shedding badly. A party of Savannah workmen dug up the bones of a dead man in the children’s play ground. The Hartwell Sun thinks that Tom Norwood “is one of tho ablest and purest public men in the State.”. It is a very poor holiday and excur sion farmer that can’t have grass and weeds threo feet high in his crops. The tendency to speak oi “politics” as a plural noun is hard to resist. It is fearfully multitudinous in fact and in fancy. "A good com crop for Burke is as sured,” sayB the True Citizen. Some of the best'farmers of the State live in Burko county. Tub Americus Recorder is apprehen sive that the cotton of Sumter was sere ousiy injured by the heavy rain and wind storm of Saturday. Chiep Fernandez, of the Savannah Fire Department, has forbidden the use of tho engine houses of his service by loafers either in the day or the night. Tiie camp-meeting season will soon wn, and hundreds will go out, to wor- lip. The statement will not be com plete without adding—thousands will go go ont, to eat. Skowheoan Bryant is hard at work in Atlanta, trying to make his bond. “A prudent man foreseeth the the evil andhideth himself; hut the simple pass on, and are punished.”. Speaking of the corn crop in Screven county, the Telephone says: “We will venture to say that the present corn crop is the best that has been made in this county for ten years.” The Griffin Sun furnishes this fa vorable report: “Crops in Spalding connty are fine, though possibly a little late. The county is saved if no ca lamity hereafter befalls the crops. The Waynesboro True Citizen makes the following large estimate of the cot ton crop of Bnrke: “The cotton crop promises well in our county. We ex pect a 30,000 bale crop this year for old Burke.” Hon. A. 0. Bacon recently made a speech at the reception of the Manhat tan Club, New York. The speech was creditable to him, his party and the State of which he is so trne and so dis tinguished a citizen. A Gainesville man imagines that he has invented “a perpetual motion machine.” It is to be hoped that be will not have a very bad attack of that dreadful and usually fatal disease. The only thing “perpetual” about Inven tions of “perpetual motion” is their failure. “Pike county will store her com in the home crib this year and draw spar ingly on the Western smokehouse,” says the Pike County Newt. This is good, as regards the com, and almost good as to meat. But It is a good be ginning, and there is a warning to “despise RIVES. August 5.—Crops are generally good through here, hut more sickness than for several years. The extensive fires which burned over a large section of this county last fall were thought by some to have burned up enough of tiie fallen leaves to materially lessen the amount of sickness for this year, hut tho result has not been such as to justi fy their expectations. Politics is quiet. Fanners are more interested in tiie probable price of cot ton than in either Blaine’s or Cleve land’s election. The general opinion seems to be to let State officers remain ns they are, re-electTumerto Congress and let tho Presidential contest take care of itself. McIntosh will continue to represent the county in the Legisla ture if he wants to do so, as far as this part of the county cares. Heavy wind to the northeast last night at 7:30.

"In fine spirits and foil of confidence," replied Mr. Reese, as be submitted to the inevitable grip of the Interviewer. Mr. lteese, be it understood, represented the great commonwealth of Georgia on the national committee which has just been notifying Messrs. Cleveland and Hend ricks ol their nominations. Mr. lteese re turns full of health and hope from this trip, and for lack at space we will have to omit his graphic and enthusiastic descrip tion of ths scenes at each official an nouncement and also his pleasant recollec tion of the handsome way In which the Manhattan dab in New York and the Al bany and Saratoga swells entertained Mr. Chairman Vilas and tha other able com mitteemen. ■•What are the prospects?” “flood,” responded Mr. Resaa. “We will carry Naw York certain.” ••WiU John Kefir Mailt?" “He will. And be will get what he wants.” -Wbat is that?” The local patronage in New Yolk. Tha leaders know that John Kelly controls the largest Democratic organization in New York, and they do not.think they can carry the State without bis aid. Kelly bosses Tammany and can control Its vote. He will cast it (or Cleveland and will therefore have what be wants." "Well, we have no objection, have wat” “No, sir. We want to win this fight, and > long as John Kelly does not bo'-her ns down here we are willing to lit him have aUhewanta-ln New York. BoL good morning, tbe train is off and I must get to Washington and look after the crops in old Wfikas.” Wbat do yun think of Cleveland?” He Is a solid man—not brilliant, bnt there Ls a lot of come-out in him. An-1 when he seta his under jaw, yon know he means what he says. And what he says he will do." “And Hendricka?" “Well, be is a big man certain, and I _on’t know bat that the Indiana people are ri^ht when they call It the Kangaroo tick- €t ""Whnt’s that?” . . “Bigger behind than before!” and tbe train that ant from tha ear shed as the re porter dropped off on the platform.
