The Utica(N. Y.) Obierver says:
"Inexpressible sad and touching have
been the last days of the Georgia trib
i, who, abandoning finally the
hope of recovery at Washington, went
home to his people to die. The
warmth and fervor of the greeting
Georgia gave him have foand a re
flection in the press of the whole land,
and Northern people have learned
from it to think tenderly and solict-
ously of the man who was so beloved
al home. Here in the North we wiU
all speak as respectfully and regreat-
fully of his departure as will those of
his own state and section North and
Sonth, Republicans and Democrats,
will alike Ray over his grave that Ben
Hill was an honest and manly man, an
earnest and faithful servant of the
people and a trne American.’’
Commenting on. Attorney-General
Brewster’s decision, that a member of
Congress is not a Federal officer, the
Conservative-Republican New York
Post says: “The action of the Attor
ney-General is, of course, a notifica
tion to the District Attorneys through
out the count! y that they need not
trouble themselves about indicting
anybody under the act. This is, to
say the least, very unfortunate, since
what is imperatively needed is a judi
cial construction of the act The At
torney General’s idea seems to be that
the meaning of the statute is so per
fectly clear that it would be a mere
waste of time to go into court with it.
Some grand jury may yet however,
take a different view of the matter,
for fortunately not even an opinion of
the Attorney General can prevent a
grand jury from finding an indictment
if they desire to do so.”
There are haidly more than a quar

in New York, for instance, it is esti

New York has 80,568; Pennsylvania,

ing me that I had received the nomi
nation of the State Democratic Conven
tion for the office of Governor for the
coming term, and rcqnesting me to
signify my acceptance thereof, was
handed me that day'on the eve of my
departure from Atlanta; and under the
heavy pressure of business since my
return to Washington this is the first
convenient opportunity I have had to
respond to the same.
thanks.
Allow me now to say that the nom
ination is cheerfully accepted; and 'for
the great honor thus conferred npon
me, under existing circumstances, I
take this occasion to express to you
and through you to those whom you
reprisent, my feelings of profound
gratitude.
THE ADMINISTRATION.
Be assured, if under Providence I
shall live, and he elected, it shall be
my earnest desire and endeavor so to
perform the high and responsible da-
ties confided to me as that no one of
any party or class or condition of life,
can justly say, at the expiration of the
term, that he or she suffered any injury
or wrong from any act of commission
or omission or neglect on my part.
•DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
Those time-honored principles of
Democracy to which the convention in
its platrorm refers, in which I was
reared, and to which I shall ever ad
here, are, indeed, I believe, the basis
upon which all our past glory was
achieved, and to which for our higher
career in the future we can only hope
fully look. Some of these it may be
properto set forth, as they were an
nounced by Jefferson, Ihe great foun
der of the party, more than thiee-
quartirs of a century ago:
THE JEFFERSONIAN CREED.
“Equal and exact justice to all men
of whatever stato or persuasion, reli
gious or political.”
“The support of the State govern
ments, in all their rights as the most
competent administrations of our do
mestic concerns, and the surest bul
wark against anli-Republican tenden
cies; the preservation of the general
government in its whole constitution
al vigor as the sheet anchor of our
peace at home and safety abroad.”
“A jealous care of the right of elec
tion by the people.”
“Absolute acquiescence in the de
cisions of the majority—the vital prin
ciple of republics from which there is
no appeal but to force, the vital princi
ple and immediate parent of despot
ism.”
“The supremacy of the civil over the
military authority.’’
Economy in the public expense
that labor may be lightly burden
ed.”
“Encouragement of agriculture and
commerce, its handmaid.”
“Freedom of religion, freedom of the
press, freedom of person, under the
protection of the habeas corpns, and
trial by juries impartially selected.”
“These are some of the principles
which constitute the creed of onr po
litical faith, the text of civil instruc
tion, . the touchstone by which to buy
the services of those we trust, and
should,” said Jefferson, “we wander
from them in moments of error or
alarm, let ns retrace our steps and' to
regain the road which alone leads to
liberty and safety.”
THE PLATFORM ENDORSED.
The foregoing, gentlemen, embodies
the leading ideas and principles by
which my administration shall be
governed, if the people of Georgia shall
call me to the executive chair. They
are all in strict accord with the broad,
liberal and catholic platform adopted
by the convention which I most cor
dially endorse. May I entertain the
hopes and express the wish that all in
our beloved State who desire good
government may unite in harmonious
action in sustaining these fundament
al principles and thus secure the peace
and prosperity of the old common
wealth as well as promote the peace,
prosperity and happiness of onr match
less Federal Union of States.
For you, personally, gentlemen,
please accept my kindest regards as
well as my best best wishes for our
common country.
Yours truly,
Alexander H. Stephens.
studei ts at this step of their kind
professor, for Dr. Speer was one of
the most popular gentleman of the
faculty. By Ills amiable disposition
and pleasing address he has lou<;
since won the love of his pupils, am.
’tis with no feeling of regret that
■hey reluctantly part with him.
Well did he master his department,
and ’twill be no easy task to find his
equal or one who can as competently
fill the position he voluntarily va
cates.
As the son of the gentleman refer
red to, I am unwilling that the state
ment should go uudeuied to the pub
lie that my father has retired volun
tarily from the Chairot Oiatory and
Belles Letters in the University. His
resignation was demanded by the
fraction'll portion of the Board of
Trustees, who were at Athons on
Tuesday of Commencement—abont
one-third of the board, I believe.
This without a word of notice to him
er a hint of dissatisfaction with the
eight years of laborious and pains
taking and effective service he had
rendered the University, the State,
the cause of education and Christian
morality, by his teachings and ex
ample.
I have no criticism to express for
the action of that portion of the
hoard who saw fit to take this
coarse, but I am unwilling that my
father's friends in the State should
suppose that he has voluntarily re
tired irotn a position in which he
was doing such noble effective work,
and ■ in which he found his cbiefest
delight and satisfaction.
I am, gentlemen, trusting that
you will give this a place in the col
umns of your paper, very respect
fully, Emort Speer.

Atlanta PoM-Appeal.
Learning that Col. Newman, of
the Department of Agriculture, had
exhibited at the meeting of the At
lanta Pomological Society, Saturday,
a hybrid of the cantaloupe and cu
cumber, a Post-Appeal reporter
sought the exhibitor for an explana
tion of the matter. Finding him in
the Department, the following in
terview was extorted:
“What about the hybrid canta-
lonpe?”
"Well, it is nothing unusual for
any and all of cucurbita family to
hybridize, if planted near each oth
er. That exhibited Saturday was a
cross between Jones’ improved
musk-melon and a cucumber. I
didn’t grow the seed from which
this was produced, but suppose the
melons and cucumbers were plant
ed near each other lost year and
were hybridized by the bees, who
are very fond of the blooms of all
that family of plants. They gather
both honey and pollen from them. 1
“Well, how does that mix the mel
ons and the cucumber ?”
“I can explain in a few words
how it happens. Yon know, or
ought to know, that all of this fam
ily of plants, have, on the same vine,
both male and female blossoms.-
The male flowers are staminate,
while the female are pistilate. The
little busy bee performs the office of
priest in marrying the two. Sup
pose, for instance, a bee visits the
male blossoms of the cucnmber, and
collects on her thighs, as you no
donbt have seen them do the pollen
of the cucumber. Thus laden, she
seeks the flowers of the cantaloupe,
which may have been thoughlcssly
planted near by; she happens to
alight upon the female flower, and
deposits the pollen of the encumber
upon the pistil of the cantaloupe
flower; the ovaries of the latter are
thus fertilized with the pollen of the
former, and the hybrid is the
suit.”
“Does it affect the melon the first
year?”
“No, the seeds are alone affected
and the results are not seen until
these are planted and fruit grown
from them. The melon on the end
of which the female blossom through
which the hybridizing took place
will not he affected either in appear
ance or quality, bnt, as I said before,
its seed will produce hybrids.”
“How can the female flowers be
distinguished from the male ?”
“The female flower forms on the
end of the little melon which cor
responds with the ovary of hermoph-
raditic flowers, while the male blos
som appears on a single stem.”
“Is this the only difference be
tween them?’’
No; as before remarked, the fe
male is a pistilate and the male a
staminate flower.’’
“With what else will cantaloupes
cross?’’
“With pumpkins, gourds, squashes
and watermelons.’’
“How is this to be prevented?’
“Only by planting them farenongh
apart”
“How far is necessary?’
“They should not be nearer than
an hundred feet, and farther if prac
ticable, but the bees will hybridize
them to some extent in spite our
utmost care.”
“The bees are then a nuisance, are
they not, to melon growers?’
“By no means 1 their services are
needed to fertilize the female flow
ers of all this family of planters, as is
shown by the fact that all of the
small melons which blossom in
weather which prevents the bees
from fiyiDg drop off! It.is generally
thought that the wet weather causes
it, but it does so only by preventing
fertilization of the female flower
which opens in he tmoming and
closes abont neon.”
“What were the peculiarities of
the melon you exhibited Satur
day?”
“Well, it resembled a white canta
loupe in appearance, had yellow
flesh and a decided cucumber taste
tyfd odor.’’
