SATURDAY. MAY 27.1882.
The probability is that the people of
Dougheny county tvili hare to wres
tle with the “bridge question” through
another summer.
There are many Independent Dem-
ocrats in South Georgia, but few, and
In fact, so far as we have met, none,
of the coalition-syndicate stripe.
Maybe the Atlanta Constitution
hadn’t got “word” from Joe Brown
when it wrote “a word to Mr. Steph

An Austrian physician who has vis
ited the Jews Hospitat at Odessr,

General Gba.vt s son in-law, Alger

The five older bishops of the Meth

H. N. McTyeire, of Tennessee, and
John C. Keener, of New Orleans.
The
Atlanta Constitution Has
‘‘flopped,’’ and in its issue of yesterday
says editorially that “the wisest thing
the Democratic party can do’’ is to
nominate Mr. Stephens for Governor.
We all know “how Joe Brown and
Colquitt stand” now.
“J. B. R.,” the Washington corres
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle
and Constitutionalist, writes, “Mr.
Stephens is confined to his bed and
will remain there for a month at least.
Mis foot is enormously swollen and
looks like it was broken.”
Up to this time the case made by
the State against the Malloy hoys is
by no means strong. It is evident
that there was a cowardly, villianous
conspiracy against Jennie Cramer’s
honor, but proof of murder, the charge
of the indictment, is another thing.
The Athens Banner- Watchman
says that a motion for a new trial of
Johnson and Echols wilt be made at
this term of the Court, and if this 1s
refused the case will be carried to the
Supreme Court. Meantime the pris
oners will remain in the jail of Clarke
bounty.
The fact that all the stalwart or
gans of the North are delighted over
Mr. Stephens’ candidacy, and that
•very Republican, Coalition or Inde
pendent cauous that meets in this
State claims him as its candidate, and
wants to indorse him for Governor, is
significant.
The Stale Republican Central Com
mittee held its meeting in Mscon on
Tuesday, and elected John H. De-
veaux, of Savannah, chairman, vice H.
P. Farrow. The report of the pro
ceedings published in the Ailants
Post-Appeal represents that ‘*a mo
tion was marie indorsing Hon. Alex. H.
Stephens for Governor, which was re
ceived with enthusiasm, but upon an
objection that nominations or indorse
ments were not proper subjects tor
the committee to act upon, as it had
met to issue a call for a Convention
for that purpose, the motion was ta
bled.” ' '
Me. J.' D. Ponder, for several years
past local' editor of the Bainbridge
Democrat, and at one time connected
with the News and Advehtiseb, has
accepted the position of assistant edi
tor on the Atlanta Sunday Phono
graph. Mr. Ponder is one of the most
worthy young men on the Georgia
press, and hxs a great many friends in
this city- and throughout tjoqthwcsl
Georgia who feel a deep interest in his
advancement and prosperity- Sober,
intelligent, practical, and withal, a per
fect gentleman, Mr. Ponder is worthy
of a place on any paper in tfie State.

Of SlV. lli’I's vii.diti'on there is Hie
qspsl amount of conflicting news.
Capt. itobbs, of this city, on a recent
visit to AHanta, conversed with a mem
ber of the H .il family who expressed
the most sanguine hope of recovery.
He did not seem to doubt but that the
Senator was fast getting well. An en
couraging dispatch was published in
Sunday's Macon Telegraph. The
following from “J. R. R.,” the Wash-
ington correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle, will not be uninteresting:
“Senator Morgan occupies Mr. Hill’s
seat. He will probably continue to do
so. It is sad to think that the eloquent
Georgian will never more appear in
the Chamber and electrify the coun
try. What you may 1 earn of his con
dition before this reaches you, I do
not know; but what I shall state about
it is the exact truth and flora the
highest authority. On the 12th of May,
Mr. Hill was confined to his bed and
constantly under the Influence of mor
phine. His sufferings are molifled
only by that drug. His face is par
tially decayed. The decay of the
bone is attributed to the excessive in
flammation by one physician. Others
ascribe it to the ravage of cancer.
The latter opinion i9 no doubt the cor
rect one. Mr. Hill’s ntterance is so in
distinct that even those most accus
tomed to him can with the utmost dif
ficulty comprehend what he says. It
was proposed that he use a slate, but
this was so repugnant to him that he
seldom could be induced to avail him
self of it. The trouble of making him
self understood is the only thing that
frets him. When he was told of Gov
ernor Washburne’s approaching death.
Mr. Hill said: “I envy him!” Very
little of the Eureka water is used by
the Senator. 11c evidently believes
that it has not now the power to heal
him, if it ever had. Mrs. Thompson,
by this time, must have reached her
father’s bedside and may raise his
spirits; as he is very proud and lond
of her, as she is of him. Next to his
wife, who nurses him night and day.
Senator Hilt craved the presence and
ministering of his dangler. 'I he me‘-
ancholy prospect is that there will be
rapid change for the worse, and th»t
the mighty spirit of Benjamin II. Hi 1
will soon leave its mortal tabernacle.’’
The State Democratic Executive Com-
mitteee.
The proceedings c f the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee at its
meeting in Atlanta on the 18th instare
printed* elsewhere in this morning s
News and A'-vkiitiseb. Every Simon-
pure Democrat who desires harmony
and (be success of the party must be
gratified at the action of the commit
tee. As for ourselves, we must con
fess th it we have been most agreeably
disappointed. AVe hardly knew what
to expect of the Executive Committee
—there were so many ugly rumors in
the air.
But the Committee has discharged
its duty to the party, and has done it
in no uncertain or compromising way.
No sore-headedness, snarling or potiy
vindictiveness can be found in any pan
of the proceedings as reported, and the
meeting appears to have been most
harmonious throughout.
With such a start thy Democrats o'
Georgia have nothing to fear at tin’
hands of any “coalition,’’ syndicate” or
“ism” with which they are or may be
threatened, provided they will do theii
duty as men and Democrats. The
recommendations of the Committee an-
all wise and timely, and more espcc
ially do we approve of the suggestions
made with reference to the two-thirds
rule and the selection of delegates to
the State Convention in all the coun
ties on tho Bame day. If the recom
mendations of the Executive Commit
tee arc carried out, as they should be
by the people, the delegates selected to
meet in Atlanta on the 19th of July
will have no trouble in placing a ticket
in the field that will sweep the State in
November.
Hr. Stephens’ Letter.
Ms. Stephens has written another
letter defining his position, which is
printed in full elsewhere in this morn
ing’s News and Advebtiser. He evi
dently saw that something had to be
dune for the purpose of conciliating
the Democrats who had signified
their unwillingness to swallow him as
Cite sugar-coated candidate of the In
dependents. His letter will satisfy
these who naturally wanted to sup
port him for Governor, and were hesi
tating only on account of his having
ticen brought forward as the candidate
o - ' the Independents t but there are
others who trill not be so easily drawn
into submission to the dictum of Fel
ton, Farrow & Co: The regular Dcm-
■cracy cannot afford to make Mr
-Stephens' its candidate lor Governor in
view of existing circumstances, and
the opposition to his nomination in
.1 uly is going to bo strong and deter
mined.
Bat the grounds upon which the
News and ADvannSEB shalt oppose
Mr. Stephens are, that lie is disquali
fied by physical infirmities and old age
fur the duties of the office, while there
are other men in the State wlyt arc
able and competent in every particular
to discharge these duties, and are, at
the same time, equally worthy of tho
honor to be conferred.
Mr. Stephen’s Candidacy,
Col. Marcellas Thornton, the prim
itive Independent of Georgia, claims
Mr. Stephens as bis candidate. He
placed his name at the mast-head of the
Post-Appeal early last fall, and has
kept it there ever since.
Now comes Mr. Emory Speer, who
say8‘to tho New York Times, “He’s
my candidate.’’
And last, but not least, the coalition,
in caucus assembled, ordain him as
their candidate.
And now let the dnly appointed
delegates of the Democracy, when
they meet in Convention on the 19th
of t^ly, ray to Col. Thornton, Mr.
Speer, the coalition, el sequentes,
“Fight it oat smonx yourselves; fro

Hon. H, G- Turner^An Increase^ Al* :
propriation for Flint'Blver.
The following from ‘ Potomac,’’ the
well-known Washington correspon
dent of the Savannah News, wilt be
read with interest by’ the constituents
of our immediate Representative in
Congress, Hon. H. G. Turner, and will
become part of the record to which hit
friends will point with pride when
asking the Democracy of his district to
honor him again:
Washisoton, May 13.—Representa
tive Turner, of Georgia, was on the
floor of the House to-day, having just
returned from a vjsit to Georgia. Mr.
Turner has been working very hard
for bis constituency during the whole
session of Congress. Work is his
strong point. He has made rapid
strides in the good opinion of the
House as a working member and a
man of sound intelligence and good
business capacity. Ho has accom
plished for his district what is very
hard for any member to do. He has
secured an increase in its river and
harbor appropriations. Through his
efforts an appropriation of $25,{XJ0 for
the improvement of the Flint river
from Montezuma down will be made,
and also an appropriation of $20,000 for
the improvement of the Chattahoochee
down. Both of these figures repre
sent an increase of $5,000 each. This
is a big accomplishment for a new
member, especially when it is remem
bered how hard it is to get an increase
of appropriations, especially for the
South.
The same correspondent, under
date of May 17th, writes as follows:
“The report of what the river and
harbor bill does for Georgia and Flori
da, beretblore printed in the Sews is
incomplete in some details. I supply
the incompleteness. The sum of
$8,700. heretofore appropriated for the
Etowah river, is transferred to the
Coosa river below Rome; of the f25.O0u
appropriated for the Flint river$15,0L)0
-diail be expended below Albany, and
$10,000 from Albany to Montezuma;
improving Apalachicola river, Florida.
$2,0U0; improving Pics creek, Florida,
$4,000; continuing improvement of
Choctawliatchee river, Florida, up to
Newton, Alabama, $12,000; improving
Escambia and Conecuh rivers, Florida,
and Alabama, $12,000; Manatee rivers,
Florida, $12,000. Among the otli-r
points at which the Secretary of War
is directed to cause examination or
-urveys, or both, and estimates ot cost
of improvements proper to be made,
arc the following: Harbor at Cedar
Keys, and to open a pas-age between
tile north end <>f Indian river and Mos
quito Lagoon, Florida.
the Southern to the Northern Pres
byterians.
The Southern Presbyterian Assem
bly in session at Atlant i sent the fol
lowing telegram to the Northern As
sembly at Springfield, III., on Wed-
' nesday:
“In answer to tho overtures from
Presbyteries, the lollowing paper was
adopted almost unanimously: 'In order
■o remove all difficulties in the way of
that full and .ra erual formal corres
pondence which, on our part, we are
prepared to accept, we adopt the fol
lowing minute: “That, while receding
ram so principle, we do hereby de
clare our regret for and withdrawal of
■til expressions of our assembly which
nay be regarded as reflecting opon or
ifiensive to the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church of the United
States of America, and resolved that a
copy of this paper beset t by telegraph
'o the General Assembly now iu ses
sion at Springfield, III., for their pray-
•rful consideration and for their recip-
ocai concurrence, as affording a basis
or the exchange of delegates forlh-
xilh.”
A special from Springfield to the
Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
states that tho reading of the above
paper in the Northern Assembly was
'reeted with applause, and the docu
ment was received with enthusiasm.
By this it seems that while the North
ern and Southern Presbyterians are
not to be reunited, as yet, into one
irganic body, fraternal relations be
tween the churches of the two sections
■re nevertheless to bo restored for all
practical evangelical purposes.
How the Stalwarts Take Him.
“The proposition of the Georgia In-
lepcndents to make Hon. Alexander
;1. Stephens their candidate for Gov-
rnorisnn admirable one. His nom-
■ nation and consent .to stand would
•ertainly be followed by his election,
ind the first fruit of that election
would be the overthrow of Bourbon
domination in the State.”—New York
Tribune.
Of course, we all understand that
“Bourbon domination,” from the stand
point of tho New York Tribune,
means that element in the South that
will not yield to the efforts that are
■eing made to Africanize the Southern
Slates. It is only a pet name ihe
Stalwarts have for Southern Demo
cracy.
It comes to us by way of the At
lanta Post-Appeal that “Gov. Col
quitt stated, last Saturday, to a reporter
n New York, that lie would not be a
candidate for re-election. He slid tl at
Mr. Stephens would receivi and accept
the regular Dcmoralic nomination,
tnd would be elected. He also stated
hat Mr. Stephens would not accept the
he nomination from the Independents
alone, and would accept llie nomina
tion purely for the purpose of har
monizing the Democrats in Georgia.
The Governor said that Senator Hill s
resignation was not in his hands, and
lie had advised him to hold on to his
Seat as bis salary was all he hau to
live on, aiid ho might after all poll
through. He admitted that he would
accept a nomination for Hill’s place if
i vacancy occurred. As the above
statements appeared in the leading pa
pers of the Boqntry yesterday, we
give th°m a place in our column?. The
Governor wa3 probably correctly re
ported.’*
It is stated that the President has
decided upon five of ihe nine appoint,
ments for the Tariff Commiss’on.
These arc Kirkwood of Iowa, Bullock
of Georgia, Oliver of Pennsylvania,
Hayes of Ma-sachuse'ts, and'Porter
of Pennsylvania. Of these Kirkwood
and Porter claim to be revenue re
formers, though ic is foreseen they
incline towards protection. The
others are avowed protectionist. If
this is to bn the romp'exion of the
commission, the needed and demanded
revenue reform 'wilt hardly be effect
ed; and Congress may yet have to
take the mat'er in hand.

A Fleasmltf Excursion. j
A more congenial and happy little
party of excursionist*, in which all
ages, from romping childhood to vener
able grandparentag', wore represented,
never boarded a train than that which
left this city just before 9 o’clock on
Monday morning with CoL AVadley
and Maj. Shcliman, for a day's social
enjoyment on the rail and a brief
visit to the growing little town of
Blakely. Col. AVadley and his devot
ed and aevompli-hed »ife and Maj.
Shellman extended a must hearty wel
come to all, and were most ably as
sisted throughout the day by Captain
and Mrs. John A. Davis in entertain
ing their invited gnests.
The “Extension” passes through
some of the very best farming lands in
Southwest Gcoigia, or in the Stare, as
for that matter, taking in the fertile
Oaky AVoods of Dougherty and the
rich hammocks and stiff clay lands of
Calhonn and Early counties; and
those of an observant or practical turn
at once gave themselves up to an in
spection of the crops, while Col.
Wadlev and Maj. Shellman seated
themselves in the rear of their Car to
inspect the track and road-bed. Messrs.
Will and Ragan Cutliff and shell
Ticknor, the young gallants of the oc
casion. it is hardly necessary to re
mark, looked not upoo the corn and
cotton or pastures green that lay in
continuous succession upon eith
er side of oar route, nor yet upon Col.
AVadley's railroad track that stretched
oat behind onr train, but feasted their
eyes’, and smiled their smiles, and
spent their utterances upon the charm
ing circle of young ladies who monop
olized one end of thee. arh.
- The crops betwe. n Albany and
Lettry are very prrmi.ing indeed.
The older head.* of ..ur party did not
think that the corn was as large as it
ought to be at this season of the year,
in some places, but this was expiained
by Judge Wright, who remarked that-
in many instances this was due to the
variety of seed planted. The * Golden
Dent' never grows large, bat is pro
lific, and matures in this section mucu
earlier than anr other variety of corn
Last year’s crop having been eat shor<
by the dronth, many of the farmers, in
pitching their crops t'tis spring,
planted part of their acreage in the
“G ilden Dent - ’ in order to have corn
ready for use by autumn. Thus theory
of Judge Wright’s seemed to hold
good, too, for occasionally wt founc
fields of corn, that looked strong, gree
and almost shoulder high, without th.
appearance of Gariy tas*eling—a sun
indication, at this season of the year,
that the stalk will attain a vigorous
size before it begins to fruit. Cotton
is yet very small, generally speaking,
very little of it having been “chopped
out," but good stands were noticed
everywhere. At AValker’s Station we
met a few of the leading planters ot
that neighborhood, and they told us
that the prevailing cool weather was
operating very unfavorably upon tin-,
youngcotton. AVitli seasonable weath
er, however, they thought this verj
sensitive plant might get a good start,
as the lands are in goed condition and
the “stand’’ as good as could be de
sired, except where the cool wentber
of the past fortnight has kept back the
growth of seed planted very late.
A mile stretch of Col. B. G. Lock
ett’s Frank Wright place, on either
side of the railroad, was very much
admired. It is iu an excellent state of
cultivation; corn has received it9 sec
ond ploughing, is of good size, and
the fields arc as clean and as clear of
weeds and grass as a well cultivated
garden, showing thorough system and
good management upon the part of
Mr. AVm. Lockett, or whoever “over
sees’’ the place.
The best large field of corn that we
saw was not far from Arlington, and
we were told that the place was be
ing ran by Ospt P. E. Boyd, of
Leary. They do say that Captain B.
is not only one of the shrewdest and
most enterprising merchants of South
west Georgia, but one of the best
farmers.
BLSKSLV.
We reached Blanely at about'12
o’clock, and, although dark, threitcn-
ing clouds were rapidly approaching
from the Southwest, ouT party dis
persed—some in carriages and others
on foot—to take in the town of Blake
ly. Only those who were fortunate
enough to get carriages, however, were
able to make the rounds, for the rain
soon began to fall in torrents, and
drove every one nnder shelter.
Among the leading citizens whom
we met was Mr. R. H. Powell, wbo
seemed to be one of that class of
thrifty, wide-awake men who are al-
wtys ready to “talk np the town.”
He told ns that Blakely was growing
faster than any other town in tbi-
part of the State; that her busines*
ha 1 been largely increased since the
extension of the railroad to that
point, aad that twenty stores and resi
dences had been built in the town
daring the last twelve months. This
is iudeed s good showing for Blakely,
and we take it to be a fair one, too, for
new houses and other evidences of
material improvement were visible
everywhere we went. Blakely haa a
rich agriraltaral region to back it, and
now that it has become connected by
nil with the balance of the world, we
see no reason why it sbonld not con
tinue to grow and soon become one of
the most important of the Southwest
Georgia towns. ,
DINNER. - V.:
AVhen the party dispersed at the
depot for a stroll over town, Captain
Davis announced that the engineer
would blow the whistle when dinner
was ready. AVe hadn’t been behind
tbs scenes, tnd didn’t know where
dinner for all that crowd was coming
from, so, in company with Judge
Suggs Joneq we remained np town
and dined with that excellent hostess
of the Blakely Hotel, Mrs. Livingston.

we returned to the fit pot. There, ill
the centre of the open waie room, was
a taliltt fairly groaning under the
weight of good things that were piled
upon iL AVhen we learned that the
entire party, numbeitng some thirty
or more, had already dined, and that
what we saw upon the table was what
they had left, we were reminded of
the great feast of which we arc told
in Holy AVrit where, after a multitude
had feasted upon five loaves anil two
fishes, twelve baskets fall were gath
ered of what remained. This mag
nificent feast, embracing ail the deli
cacies of the season, and prepared in
real epicurean style, had beeu spread
by Mrs. Davis. Onr excursion w.is
ra’her an impromptu affair, and no one
except Mrs. Davis, perhaps, had been
put on notice in time to prepare for it;
and that lady evidently expected to
feed half a regiment.
COL. WILSON’S TROCBL1 S.
Wa» It Blackmail I — What Ills
Friends Say.
From the Arlington Airauce. 19:t.
Some little excitement was created
among the picnicers at Albany last
AA'ednus .a.y bv the arrest of one ol
their party. Col. Clarence AA’ilson, oi
Blakely. A man from Atlanta, a mt-
cnine agent, had him arrested on a
charge for stcali: g a horse, quite a
startling accusation of a man who has
su smoothly made his wav into the
hearts and high esteem of the people
of his town, and one not likely to be
listened to. Col. AA ilson went to
Blakely about a year ago, and his
own actions and his accomplishments
going to recommend him a gentleman
of honor and intelligence, lie was not
lung in gaining the ipspect anil confi
dence of all.
Being interested iu the matter anil
desiring :o learn Ihe particulars,' we
went down lojlhc train yesterday and
interviewed Col. R. H. Powell, wbo
had been to Albany, with Mr. Barks
dale, to defend Col. Wilson in his
trial. AVhen we asked for informa
tion he said:
“First, just say for me that I, with
nearly < very body else wbo is familiar
with the case, believe the whole thing
to be a concocted plan, on the psrt ol
■ his Edwards, to get money, and are
suisfied that he (Edward*) was sim

ty he represent?*, was trying through

inly such propositions as would re

that his object was money, and he

it came. AA'hun ho found that AViI

ihe outlay ind were demandinga trial,
ha refu-e ; to take the matter before
any tribunal and s-iiil he would prose

auspicious of tile truth of l lie story
Edwards told him and published, and,
1 .oking Edwards np, told him that he

pretense of conlinniug the prosecution
and in proving in court what he had
-tated, swore out a warrant for AVilson
and demanded that he be re-arrested.
But he did not demand his arrest un
til Wilson was on his way home, and,
as soon as the warrant had been plac

wards) immediately took tho train
going toward Savannah, and this war
rant has rot yet been exeented.”
Mr. AVilson and bis friends passed
through to Blakely on yesterday’s
train, where they are willing to under
go a trial'at any time. Putting these
particulars all together, we think it a
shabby affair and an imposition on
Col. Wilson. From the first we have
believed him innocent, and don’t think
there are any acquainted with the case
who give much credence to the accu
sation. If the prosecution is yet con-
tinned, we hope tbe Colonel may fully
establish his innocence.

There never has been any doubt as
