Governor Stephens was born in
Taliaferro county in 1812. His father,
whose name was Alexander B. Steph
ens, died when Gov. Stephens was
fourteen years old. His mother’s
maiden name was Margaret Green.
Mr. Stephens graduated from Frank
lin College in 1832, and was admitted
to the bar in 1834.
BnADSTREET's journals wants the
people of the South to “realize the sit
uation and rise to the occasion.” It
sees a revolution going on in the iron
industry of the the^country that will
transfer it from the North to the
South, and Southern capitalists should
not neglect their great opportunity
and leave non-resident capitalists to
carry off all the profits.
At noon on last Saturday David
Davis resigned the office of President
of the Senate, ard on motion cf Mr.
Anthony,Mr. Edmonds was elected to
fill out the unexpired term. The
change has no particular significance
unless Mr. Arthur should die before
the next Congress convenes. In that
event Mr. Edmonds would exercise
the office of President juro tem of the
United States.
The editor in chief of the News
and Advertiser was summoned to
Atlanta Sunday night by President of
the Senate Boynton, to attend the fun
eral obsequies of Governor Stephens.
His absence is to be regretted at this
particular time, as the reportorial force
of the paper is at present limited. No
pains will be spared, however, to keep
it up to the standard, though it may be
said to be in the hands of its friends.
i- published elsewhere in this morn
ing’s News and Advertiser. Truly
may it be said that a great man has
fallen, and that in the death of Alex
ander H. Stephens Georgia loses
one of her most illustrious sons. No
man ever did mOfe to illustrate his
native State or was more prominently
identified with her history and pros
perity during the last fifty years than
Mr. Stephens.
He was known abroad as a states
man, sage, and historian; and at home
as a commoner, philanthropist and
kind-hearted Christian. The life of
Mr. Stephens is familiar io every Geor
gian, for it has been a public and use
ful one. He literally wore himself
out in the service of his State; and
some of his over-zealons friends who
were instrumental in thrusting upon
him, in his feeble state, the arduous
duties of office, may well contemplate
the end%hich they were instrumental
in bringingaboat. In the 71st year of
his age, with his physical strength
completely wasted by disease; with
his conscientious exactness in the min
utest details of office, he should never
have been bnrdened with the cares of
the State. That be died from over
work in ihe faithful discharge of the
duties of his office seems to admit of
no doubt; and it is but the fulfillment
of the predictions of thousands
Georgians who respected him for his
ability, revered him for his integrity
and honored him for his past services
bnt whose reason told them he could
not carry the burden that designing
politicians were placing upon his
shoniders. His old physician, Dr.
Steiner, who was with him in his last
illness, when asked what was the cause
of his death answered, “I should say,
beyond donbt, that it was overwork 1
He died from overtasking his menta'
organs.’’
Thns are we forced to the conclusion
that the death of Governor Stephens
was hastened by the conscientious en
deavor he was making to perform the
duties assigned him, and which every
man of reason knew from the begin
ning, he was physically incompeten tto
fulfill.
But his struggle with disease is
over now;] that grand, brave spirit
which so long contended against death
has at last given up the fight and gone
to rest. He leaves Ihe official robe as
spotless and free from moral or po
litical blemish as when laid upon his
frail form iu November last
Jim Mathews, a little colored hoy,
was tried and found guilty of stealing
a watch the other day in Macon, and
sentenced to two months imprison
ment It waB developed in the midst
of the trial that he was no other than
Joe Schofield, who stood in the same
room a few months ago charged with
horse stealing, but was let off on ac
count of his extreme youth and bound
out to a worthy colored man of the
city.
The tailors in Macon seem to be in
a muddle. It seems that they have a
sort of union. One of the establish
ments wishing to dissolve the union,
the other outvoted them, whereupon
the treasurer withdrew the money of
the union from the savings bank and
deposited it :n the Macon hank in his
own name. The other party at once
served Ihe b«nk with a garnishment,
and the natter will be tested in the
courts.
Reports from the larger orchards
show that the recent cold snap has
not injured the peach crop, though
the trees were very forward. The
yield promises to be a very abundant
one, but it is too early yet to he hurt
by cold. Reports from Thomaston
shows that the peach trees have bloom
ed heavily in that section. It appears
that (he danger to the peach crop is in
the cold snap3 of later March or April.

It will be seen from the dispatches
to the News and Advertiser that
great events are transpiring in Atlanta.
The death of Governor Stephens, the
installation of Governor Boynton, the
convening of the General Assembly
and State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, al! coming upon us at once, is
sufficient to arouse the most indiffer
ent to an interest in the situation.
However it may appear to others, to
the News and Advertiser it smacks
of unseemly baste. In the absence of
any law requiring this expedition, we
think the dead Governor might have
been laid away before the scramble
began. The swearing in of Governor
Boynton was proper and necessary,
but any furlher.steps might have been
delayed. However, the fiat has gone
forth, aud we are about to enter anoth
er heated campaign for the office that
killed Alexander H. Stephens. It is
to be hoped that: decency and order
will prevail as far as possible, though
we hardly look for it.
The Gubernatorial Ontlook.
Now, that the last sad honors have
been paid to our departed Governor,
and the ship of State once more fairly
at sea, it may not be amiss to take
birds eye view of the State, and see
what kind of timber is available for
a new head piece to Georgia. The
quality and quantity is so varied and
extensive that the News and Adver
tiser will not lay its axe at the root
•of any particular tree, until thorough
ly convinced that there is no “wind-
shakes” and other blemishes likely
to mar the beauty and utility of that
necessary piece of furniture.
Let us look over the stock already
offered: Columbus is willing to lay
Hon. Martin J. Crawford on the altar;
Savannah generously contributes Les
ter, Lawton, Jackson, and perhaps
others; Eatonton will slaughter eith
er Blount or Lawson; Mscod, from
her extensive store, offers ns Bacon,
Blonnt, Simmons, and, on close call,
might furnish more. Americus wants
the “old war horse,” Phil Cook, or
Simmons; Thomasville says Lester or
Lawton, while Griffin sings out at the
head of the procession, “Gentlemen,
Mr. Boynton is Governor.” These
are only a few whose names hare been
suggested, and_the indications are that
there are many more “Richmonds iu
the field.” Gentlemen, you are en
tirely too previous in this matter.
Nearly every community has its favor
ite, but it is a mistaken kindness to
parade him before the public as best
man for chief executive. Any of the
names above mentioned would make
good and capable Governor, and
there are doubtless hundreds of oth
ers in the great State of Georgia that
could fill the office acceptably. Just
wait till the mnsic plays.
The Atlanta Constitution,’ in an ar
ticle headed “The Rattlesnake Melon,’’
which we reproduce in another col
umn, has constituted itself a board ol
arbitration to compose what it seems
to regard as ail impending difficulty be-
between the Augusta Chronicle and
the News and Advertiser anent what
is commonly known in this region of
Georgia as the “Rattlesnake” water
melon, but which our Augusta con
temporary delights to call the Augus
ta meion. The Constitution has evi
dently discovered; what has been
noticed by a good may others, viz:
that the Chronicle (which has boast-
iugly claimed that Richmond county
produced the best melons in the world,
until it has actually got to believing it)
has become jealous of the South Geor
gia striped or rattlesnake melon, whose
superior qualities have recently been
set forth in the columns of the News
and Advertiser. Inasmuch as the
Constitution has assumed the func
tions of arbitrator between the Chron
icle and ourselves, we propose to our
Augusta contemporary that we lay our
respective claims before our Atlanta
brethren in a practical way, and then
accept their decision as final. "We
have every confidence in the capabili
ties of our brethren of the Constitu
tion t5 judge of the qualities of a Geor
gia watermelon—if they are given a
fair opportunity. “The troth of the
padding is in eating on’t’’—and the
same mast also be true as to water
melons. Now, we propose to our Au
gusta contemporary that between the
first and the 20th of July next it send
the largest and best Augusta melon it
can find in al 1 of Richmond county—
not one shipped from Southern Geor
gia, bnt one grown in Richmond coun
ty—to the editors of the Constitution,
to he eaten by them and compared in
size, flavor, etc., with one to be sent
them by us from Dougherty county.
Now, this is a fair proposition, and one
that the Chronicle cannot decline
without practically confessing that it
is afraid of the test. We therefore
trust that the Chronicle will now eith
er “put np or shot np.”
It appears that Gen. Toombs has
not disinherited his granddaughter
after all. The old man conld not re
sist the tender emotions of his nobio
heart when the family gathered aronnd
the deathbed of Gen. DnBose, the
father o r the young lady.
Govxdkor Stephens is the first
Goveinor of Georgia who has ever
“died in harness.’’
A Jo rnalistic Eril that Shonid be
Suppressed.
The News and Advertiser desires
to enter its protest against an evil that
is creeping into American journalism,
the growing tendency of which will
not only lower the dignity of the
press, hut will foster a dangerous and
degrading estimate of morals. We al
lude to the growing enstom of publish
ing the private and sacred documents
found npon the bodies of suicides and
unfortunates. The fact that a
suicides does not make his prirxte
correspondence the property of the
public any more than if he had died a
natural death, in the bosom of his own
family. It there be papers found
which go to show the animus of the
used, it is all well enough to pub
lish them as a matter of information;
bnt if there be private and ordinarily
sacred letters npon his person it
sacrilege to give them to a hungry
and nnsympathizing pnblic. The un
fortunate may haTe family and friends
(aud no man is so low but that some
gentle heart throbs for him) whose
feelings should be protected from the
jeers and scoffings of a cold and un
charitable world. The press of Geor
gia is not exempt from this ontrage
upon the feelings of the bereft. The
readers of the Nxws and Advertiser
will remember that a day or two since
we published an account of the snidde
of Mr. W. A. Key in Savannah. A
coroner’s jury rendered a verdict to
the effect “that deceased came to his
death from a pistol shot wound in
flicted by a pistol in his own hand,
and we consider it a ease of suicide.’’
Now, this wonld seem sufficient to sat
isfy ordinary cariosity, and here the
matter should have rested, provided
there were no documents showing the
animus, as before said. Bat it did
not stop here. A-late issue of the
Morning Mews comes to ns contain
ing the account, together with all the
private correspondence found upon
the body of the unfortunate
There was a letter from his wife, con
taining nothing which the pnblic had
anything to do; and there was also a
note from a young lady “accepting his
(Mr. Key’s) company to-night’’
Again we ask, why was the letter of
that devoted wife published? And
why publish the young lady’s note?
Sorely the tragic death of the hus
band was sufficient for the wife to
bear, without Adding to its poignancy
by sowing the seeds of jealon-ily in
her heart, to rankle there until her
last day. We say it is wrong, wicked
and useless. It vindicates no one, and
adds nothing in the way of balm to
the hearts affected. We hope to see a
change for the better in this respect,
and for one, the News and Advertis
es will continue, in the fnture,as in the
past,to refrain from the publication of
private, sacred documents which be
long to the dead, and should be buried
in the oblivion which belongs to the
grave.

world is here to-day mourning for
Georgia’s dead Governor. No such

Bacon are terribly in earnest, and
Simmons, Phil Cook, Crawford,
Chief Justice Jackson, and last, bnt
not least, our beloved and gallant
Tete Smith, are mentioned by their
respective friends in connection with
the Governorship. The race for the
Governor wilt doubtless take definite
shape within the next two or three
days. Everything is as yet mixed
with uncertainty, bnt if Hon. W. E.
Smith were to come ont and enter
the lists as a candidate, I believe,
from what I can gather here, that he
wonld stand a good chance of getting
the nomination. Our own people
are not alone in appreciating Captain
Tete Smith as one of the safest
men in the State of Georgia. I
have been asked on every hand to
day why our people don’t bring him
ont. These are facts and not intended
as local bnneombe or flattery to Capt.
Smith. If Southwest Georgia wants a
Governor now is her lime and Smith
is the man. McIntosh.
We hare absolutely uo choice for
the succession. If we bad any choice
we should not urge it. Every per
sonal preference, or prejudice, or am
bition should be sacrificed now, rather
than force an unseemly and heated
struggle. There is no issue in which
the people of Georgia are divided.
FREDDIE IRA HEW ROLE.
Mrs. Langtry -Chooses Gebhardt as
Her Future Nlenaaer—A Contract
Signed for Next Veer—Tbe Terms
ol the Agreement.
A New York paper of Saturday
says that Hr. Fred. Gebbardt and
Mrs. Langtry have signed a contract
f r next year.”He engaged the lily
for a season of thirty-threo weeks,
beginning in September, and he
agrees to give her forty per cent, ol
the gross receipts of the theatres at
which he plays her. The - terms Mr,
Abbey gives her are thirty per cent
of the gross receipts. She demands
more from Mr. Gebhsrdt, first, bc-
caose he is not a manager by profes
sion, and second, because he has got
more money about him than Mr.
Abbey. But under such an arrange
ment as this Mr. Gebhsrdt can make
money, supposing that'site does any
thing like the business she did when
she started. Iu the meantime she
will go to Paris in the summer and
tending ’tic trial. In co-nptrinjr t], e I
cases of I)r. Bernard ard Mr. Sheri-1
dan, the London Times pretends to
find a difference between the two,
hut it seems probable that the Brit
ish government will not press the
case against Sheridan.
A Touching Incident.
A beautiful and touching incident
happened just after Dr. Henry II.
Steiner had partook of a lunch at the
Executive Mansion preparatory to his
departure for home in Augusta. Dr.
Steiner was about leaving the Mansion,
and had bid the family adieu, and
walked down the hall with Col. John A.
Stephens and bid him good-bye. Col.
Stephens turned as if to return. Dr.
Steiner, the physician who had attend
ed him in many critical moments, and
brought him safely through many a
sick speB, walked into the parlor where
the body lay in state, and looked at the
lifeless form a few mo nents, then leaned
forward and kissed the white forehead
that had so often glistened before his
eyes inlife. There was no otner person
in the room, the watchers being in the
other parlor. No one saw the incident
save Col. Stephens. Tears trickled
down the cheeks of Dr. Steiner as he
swiftly glided out of the room and was
gone.

There isno difference of party policy under I&gnier, the Theatre

satisfied if the dignity of the State
and the integrity of the party is pre

we could he at the selection of any
man, no matter who ho might be.—
Atlanta Constitution,
This is most patriotic language, and
meets with oar entire approbation.
The excessive modesty in having “no
choice for the succession’’ wonld be
very striking were it not for the far
ther avowal that “If we had any choice
we shonid not nrge it.’’ We shall see
if this modesty continues for the “next
fifty days.” As to their being no issue
in which the people are divided, that
is all very true; but it may be farther
stated that there was no issue in the
last campaign, in which the people
might trnthfally be said to have been
divided; but we noticed that there
wae “distracting end passionate excite
ment” at certain stages of the canvass,
and howsoever much we may deplore
the fact, some of it will creep into
“the next fifty days.”
Congress Adjourned.
At 12 o’clock noon Sunday last, the
47th Congress was adjourned withont
day. There was a full attendance
of members, and business went on veiy
quietly. Mr. Speer, of Georgia, de
livered his last speech in the interests
of protectionists, and related the story
of an old negro called “Fiddle Billy.’’
He proclaimed himself a protection
ist, and said “he wonld go home and
preach protectionist doctrine to the
people of Georgia.” President Arthur
remained in the President’s room at
the Capitol daring the night, for the
parpose of promptly examining and
signing bills. Between two and three
o’clock in the morning he signed the
tax and tariff bills, and they are now
law. The shipping hill failed to be
come law. Appropriate resolutions
on the death of Governor Stephens
were .offered by Mr, Reese, which
were unanimously adopted.
We have not observed any streams
of help flowing from the Sonth for the

Francais. She expects to come back
here a finished actress, and to show
Americans what she can do. The
reports about Mrs. Langtry selecting
New York as her future residence
are true. She has made up her mind
to this, since Mr. Gcbhardt has pro
posed to build her a theatre in New
York, of which she shall be lessee
and manageress. She likes this idea
very much, ai it will give her a per
manent home. She will endeavor
to gather about her the best English
and American talent, and so cloak
her own shortcomings. But she will
remain her own leading lady. Mr
Gebhardt will offer the position ot
anthor and stage manager to Mr.
Steele Mackaye. He will be eqi
ployed, too, in coaching Mrs. Lang
try in her parts. Mr. Schwab will
probably remain Mrs. Langtry’s per
sonal representative. This.plan will
not be carried out next season—not
until the season aftei. Daring the
year to come, for which the contract
between Mr. Gcbhardt and Mrs.
Langtry was signed, she will travel
as a star in the same way that she
does now, in her own private palace
car.
“Mr. Gebhardt,” she says, “I have

Two Extradition Cases.
ie request of the English gov
ernment for the extradition of Pat
rick J. Sheridan, one of the editors
of the Irish World, who is accused
of complicity in the Phoenix Park
murder, attracts attention to the po
sition Great Britain has token ou
questions of extradition for conspi
racy to commit political murders.
The most memorable instance of this
kind is the refusal of England to ac
cede to tho demands of France for
the extradition of Dr. Bernard, the
alleged accomplice of Orsini, who
made an attempt on the life of Loots
Napoleon on January ‘14, 1858.
Orsini was convinced that the only
obstacle to English intervention in
Italian affairs was "Napoleon IIL,
and to the removal of this obstacle
he lent all his energies. On the day
mentioned he and his fellow-conspi
raters made their attempt and threw
bombs at the carriage in which the
Emperor atid Empress were pro-
ing to the opera- Ten persons
were killed by the explosion and 156
wounded, the number of wounds
ceived being 516. Dr. Simon Ber
nard, a French refugee, who resided
in England, was charged With com
plicity in the conspiracy,- and ihe

The city of Savannah last Saturday
sent eighteen bnndred and seventy
odd dollars to the New York Herald
subscription list, and we might, if we
tried, discover other snms contributed
by Southern cities. Our Indianapolis
friend, when he turns his eyes toward
the South, “sees through a glass dark
ly.” The South is always willing to
help the unfortunate to the fail ex
tent of her ability, but if the sums are
too small to attract the notice ot our
cotemporaries, we can only console
ourselves with the consciousness of
having given onr mite, and look for
our reward elsewhere. The Sonth has
often been the recipient of Northern
generosity in times of distress, and we
are grateful for it; but at the same time
we protest that it is unkind to taant
us with shortcomings, and lay U9 under
obligations which we haTe endeavored
to repay. _
