president begins by reciting the
tisiwage of tire original legislative
bill repealing title 30 ol the revised statute*
and its return to the house without hi* ap>
proval. The object of the .pree
ant bill, he says, ia not to
repeal the election laws but to defeat
their enforcement*, under existing laws

propriations required for the execution r.f

to ln<ur the requisite liability for tlieir
compensation. But tlie second section of
tills bill contains provisions not found
In any previous legislation. If.*

a spontaneous set of authority on the pert
of the government, but is made
by section 2»« of the revised statute*
a popular right of cltisens in towns having
*».<**> inhabitants or upwards. The piesant
hill neither r*v .kes this |*»puiar right nor
relieves the mtrshal of the duly ini-
po*«Nl by la., nor the provident of
his duly «o era that this law I*
faithfully executed. He declines to
discuss again the wisdom and necessity of
election laws, or what lie regsr lathe flange--
nns and unconstitutional principle of this
bill—|!»at the power vetted in congrem to
originate an appropriation involves the
right to compel the executive to approve
any legislation which congress raa;* see lit to
sttarh to such hills under the penalty of
realising means needed to carry on the es
sential function of the government. His
views on these points were, he says, pre
sented in a previous message, and he re
. yards them cigurlitsiva as to his
duty in tuapadt to tlie present
bill. This measure leaves tlie power* and
duties of the supervisors of election un
touched, but deprives the national
government of tlie power to protect
then* in the discharge of tlieir
duly at the poll.. The states may employ
both civil and military power at elections,
but by this hill sven civil authority to pro-
tect congressional elections is denied to
the Tniled Hi men. There are two lawful
ways to overtum legislative enactments
One Is their rojiral; the other Is the deck-
ion of a competent tribunal against tlieir
validity. The effect of this bill is to de
prive the executive department of the
government of the means to execute
laws which are not repealed, which have
not been declared invalid, and which it is.
tberof«*ro, the duty of the executive, and
of every other department of the govern
ment, to obey and enforce. He
close* by saving he is willing
to e nrur In suitable amendment* for tlie
Improvement of tlie election laws, hut can
not consent to their repeal or approve the
legislation which seeks to prevent their en
forcement.
A canvass of the house made immediate
ly after reading tlie president'* message lo
usy to ascertain tlie view* of the majority
upon the present situation, brought out
throe different proportion* with regard to
future action: I. To pre|>aro and |i
and Peiufort riven.
In t ie fork of these riven is Paris Island,
and ibis place has been selected a* the site
of the future city. It Is six miles nearer
the ocean than the present site of Port
Royal, and has a water frontage equal to
New York. Containing nine tbo'isand
acres of land, the island is capacious enough
to contain a population as large a* New
York. It hss hue springs of water, no
stagnant pools, and with the fresh sea
hroese, is ms healthy and pleasant a* any
place on this coast.
Naturally Port Royal has wonderful ad
vantages as a port. In addition to the fact
of its being the finest harbor on tlie Atlantic
coast, it is the natural shipping port for the
freight centers of the south and west.
For example, the distance from Atlanta
to New York is 982 ui.le*. while from At
lanta to Port Royal it is but 281 mile*.
From Chattanooga to New York it i* 844
miles, while to Port Royal it is leas than
half the distance—118 nities. From Nash
ville to New York it is 1,163 miles, while to
Port Royal it is but 568 miles, again leas
than , half. From hi. Louis,.tb* cm. tor <»t
conveying road* from the west, embracing
a vast territory unaurpn*»ed, if equaled, by
any In productivencs* in the world, the dis
tance to Port RAya' is 255 miles shorter
than to New York. Even front the high
n«»rthem point, Omaha, tire junction of tlie
railway to the Pacific coast, the route to
IV»rt It-iyal is 233 miles aliorter than that to
New York. The following table shows the
distances of the important freighting cen

Rut all these facts have made but little im

to see from his front door a large city. So
much has been writteu about it, and so
much can be written about it that it is quite

the people here have been looking foi it for
a hundred years. The city is all in the

A cut duet officer, in diacu*ring the ques

said if tlie majority slionld |um* another
bill similar to the one just returned, the
prvrident would veto it. If congress ad

If tlie process wan repeated, he would not
reconvene them a third time, but would

A conference of leading republican repre

r lnsi adjournment previoui to action on
judicial bill, and al*o against the con
tinuation of apixtinriations, but decided
not to rmort to parliamentary tactics to tie-
fee* the plans of ilia majority.
Tlie democratic members of the house
and senate held a joint caucus this evening
to twelve and discus* tlie ftport of the
joint advisory committee upon the judicial
expenses bill as forerionlowed in the
pre>* dispa ch. The committee recom

the.provisions of the latter distributed in
such a manner as to include in one of them
all the features of the original bill which
the preshlent disapproved, and thus leave

The flr«t measure it to be identical with
the vetoed bill, except that it will omit the
•seikm* prohibiting the payment or inenr-

federal election laws. It will also contain
a clause prescribing a penalty of not ex
ceeding #5,000 and Imprisonment not ex
seeding five year*, or both, for the violation
of the prohibitions aforeraid and similar
prohibition* now on the statute book.
Senator Kerran explained the commit
tee's report, and said although there had
keen a serious diversity of opiuion as to
the course of action to tw pursued, the ma
jority of tlie committee firmly believed that
the plsn reported was in every way the
wisest and most expedient.
Representative Ulardy (Missouri)offer'd
a resolution in the nature of a substitute
declaring it to be the sense of the caucus
that the recently vetoed bill should be
again passed by both hou*es and sent to the
president forthwith.
Ueprcsentat i ve Stej»hen* (Georgia) opposed
this resolution in a speech of considerable

la*l Mr and Mrs. A. Holland, of 21 Rue

countryman named J. B. Romain. During
their visit here they visited all the place* of
interrot on both sides of the river, and were
to start at noon to-day for New York,
whence they were to ini mediately sail for
France. This morning Mrs Roilaud ex
pressed a desire to pay a farewell visit to
Goat island, as she had enjoyed most of the
magnificent scenery from that point. They
left their itotal at about 9 o’clock, and leis
urely walked over, the bridge, taking the
right-hand road around the island. They
stopped on Luna island, at the cave of
the winds, and also paid a visit
to the point formerly occupied
by the Terra in the tower. They
were in high spirits, and enjoyed the glori
ous scenery to the fullest degree from the
brink of the precipice. They moved slowly
up the river bank, ever and anon stunning
to take farewell glances, until the Three
Sister islands were gained. They crossed
the first bridge, and in due time also
pissed mi to the last Sister, from which the

the last ten years has figured often in the
column* of many newspaper*. His fame
has certainly not been an enviable one, and,
such as it is, it would be better if it had
never existed. But now hb notoriety will
soon fade from memory, unless perchance a
pardon may at some future time again bring
him for a moment before the pul alic. Hi*

by general coan-surti*! May 9th. 1*3. of the
crimes of de-erUna. robbery, asmalt and battenr

be bung; sentence deferred by rvaaon of the es
cape from military custody of sold Coleman and
the institution in his ease of proceedings in the
civil courts, asld Coleman having been re arrested
A Usuiy in the state of New York. (S. O., June
12th, W. D.)
It will be remembered that Coleman de
nied that he was guilty of tlie murder of
Mourning Ann Bell, and averred that he
never e caped from custody, but wa* honor
ably discharged front the 'Service and from"
prison when the arruy wa* disbanded attb .*
dose of the war. The circumstance.* against
11dm were, however, so strong that lie wa*
twice convicted of murder; once before a
civil and once before a military court. A
Hong list of litigations ensued as to what
court had a right to dispose of his case. He
| was finally turned over to the military de
part ment where a sentence of death already
stood against him, but in virtue of his long
confinement, it has been decided to com
mute his sentence for life.
Cxileman, who for about three months
past has been lying in McPherson’s barrack*
awaiting his final sentence, contracted a cold
a few weeks ago that, it was femed, would
result in severe sickness. He has now al
most recovered, but to s morp-fortunate
mortal this promised fate would be but
little encouragement to struggle against
death. With Coleman it will be different;
he has often begged his jailers to end bis
I suspense by shooting him; even since his
confinement at the barracks every hope of
entire pardon, which he has at times fondl v
expressed, he has been kindly informed,
wa* without foundation, nis hopes have
not been encouraged, and his consequent
fear* of a worse fate will make his sentence
seem a relief from suspense. The annals of
«!rime present few men who have seen more
protracted misery than Coleman.
Hr will soon be taken from the barracks to
Albany, N. Y. He leaves in Tennessee a

from them will doubtness maze this final
separation more endurable.

The Times says tlie embarrassment of the
Bonapartism is increasingly manifest. De-
Uassagnacis reproached with indiscretion in
putting forward the claim of Prince Victor
Bonaparte os the imjierial succession. The
Sunday issue says DeCas*agnac admits that
nothing ha.* been officially decided, though
son of Prince Jerome
Napoleon, because he considered its validity
doubtful unless Prince Jerome Napoleon
consents to waive his claims. Prince Jerome
is very reticent since bis arrival in Paris,
and is apparently awaiting the action of
Roulier. It* b not believed that Prince Je
rome will agree to be a pretender himself
or |*miit his son to become one. In tbe
event Prince Victor endeavors to temporize
in not distinctly accepting the position, the
Rona{»arti»ts will probably fall back on
Prince Charles Napoleon, ttie president of
tbe Corsican council general. Prince
Charles is 40 year* of age, has no sons ot
royal connections, and is a much less eligi
ble candidate than Prince Victor.
<Jneen Victoria was accompanied by
Princess Beatrice and Pnnce Leapold visi

The Standard’s Paris correspondent re
pons that Prince Jerome Napoleon has de"
dared he will not relinquish his rights. The
Figaro a*serts that tlie prince imperial, be

testament in the presence of two English
officers.

IN WHICH ATLANTA SITS AS QUEEN.
Th* History cf Atlanta’* Health Looked Into, and
the Leaon Deduced Therafrom—The Pres
ent Year the Moet Healthy Known
to the 0!de«t Inhuhitunt
The recent discussions on the health of
Atlanta have given rise to the expression of
all sorts of opinions which have been freelv
expressed in tbe columns of Tint Constitu
tion. The interview with Dr. Tucker pub
lished recently was calculated to lead the
E ublic to misapprehension in some particu-
tra. Atlanta is really healthier now than it
was last year or the year before that or
daring any year in her biatory, if we con
sider the population of the times compared.
There is but one definite and valuable test
of the healthfulness of a community ami
that is found in its death rate. Fortunate
ly we have this here and below we give the
statistics of deaths for the four years pre
ceding thisyuid for five months of this
year. The figures are absolutely correct a*
they are copied from the official
death registers of the city.
It will seen that they unset many a theory
and prove that Atlanta is getting healthier
instead of sicklier. But the figures can best
speak for themselves. Here they are:
COMFASATIVK STATEMENT OF DEATHS.
January.......
February.....
March.
S?."“
51!
Totals...
It will lie seen that the death rate has
been less than it was in 1875 every year
since, while the population has been stead
ily increasing. We have at least 10,000
•uore people now than we had in 1875, and
yet the five months that have pa;*ed show
only 230 deaths, while the first five months
of 1875 showed 311 deaths with 10,000 less
people. The large number of deaths in May
of last year is attributable to the prevalence
of measles and kindred diseases among
children in Uiat month, and yet,
in spite of that, last year fell
far behind 1875 in the number of deaths
with a greatly increased population.
Making a fair estimate of the probable
death rate of the present* year from the
part of it already passed, the total number
of deaths will not exceed 000, while in 1875
there were 817 with 10,000 less people.
These are facts, and are unanswerable. Dr.
Pinson, city physician in the first ward,
and chairman of the board of health, from
whom these figures were obtained, *avs
that be never knew Atlanta to be as
healthy as it now is, and lie
is a practical physician who is thrown every
day among tbe people. There is no getting
around the figures he gives.
Iu order to get tbe general impression of
the people on the matter of tlie city’s
health a reporter of The Constitution yes
terday called on several prominent citizens
and every one with whom he talked agreed
that the city is cleaner than usual and in
better health than i£ lias been at tills period
for five yea7s past.
when very hot weather, epidemic influence
and filth exist. I was still more astonished
to hear him answer that he was “not pre
pared to discuss the subject,” when asked
why it did not occur here last summer,
when the epidemic influence, if ever
such influence of yellow fever
isted, the - excessive heat, and,
cording to Dr. Taliaferro’s experience
an abundance of filth were found in the
city.
istill farther advanced in error was
eloqbent ex-chancellor, Dr. Tucker, when
he expressed the opinion that yellow fever
probably will come here. If he had studied
the surroundings of the disease, he would
have answered no, when asked if he had
known the disease to prevail with no larger
stream than is found near Atlanta. Theo
logical, net medical, questions he expressed
himself ready to answer; but medical state
ments. I think, should idways be suscepti
ble of proof, particularly on questions that
involve so much as thi*. I think caution
to guaixl against impending danger is not
only wise but humane, but souuding the
alarm of danger at such a summer and win
ter resort as Atlanta, without being able to
give a good reason for the alauu, is a differ-
~~U thing.

Tlie death of tbe titular prince imperial
_J France and the attention naiuraliy di
rected to the pnnce who thus becomes tbe
h«-ad of the Napoleouie succession, will give
interest to a summary review of the Bona-
1 **rte genealogy. Xapole n Bonaparte had
our brother* and three sisters, who may be
named in the order of their birih as follows:
1. Joseph, born 1788. died 1844 He wa*
made king of Naples and afu r*unis king of
Spain, and on tbe fall of the empire came
to the United State*, under tlie name of
Count de Survilliers. and lived for a long
time at Bordentown. 17c married Mile.
Clary, by whom be had two daughter*.
Zenaide, married to her cousin, the prince
of Canino, and who died in 1S54. and Char
lotte, married to Napoleon Louis, the
brother of the late emperor. She died iu
1830.
2. Lucien, Prince of Canino. born in 1775.
died 1840. He opposed the emperor’s
plana of conquest, refused a crown and
devoted himself to literary and archaeolog
ical pursuits, for which reason the eiujteror
excluded him from the suevestion, though
he was most devoted to Napoleon after hi*
fall and to tbe claims of Napoleon II. His
first wife was Christine Boyer, an inn-keep
er's daughter, who bore him two children.
Charlotte, who was married to Prince Mario
Uabrielle and afterward to Dr. Centamori,
and died in 1865, and Christine, who was
the wife successively of the Swedish Count
Hesse and of Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart
and died ia 1847. By his second wife. Ms
rie de Blescbamp, Lucien had four daugh
ters and four sons. Jeanne was married to
Count Honorati; Marie to Count Yalentini;

imperative in this opinion.
Said her “Why, there is 1.0
reason to talk of danger
in Atlanta. It is one of the healthiest cities
in the country and now is in a better condi
tion than it has been since 1874 The figures
prove it. Our death rate bus actually de
creased. Not only this, but the total num
ber of deaths is less even though tlie popu
lation is huger. It Is a mistake to sup
pose that tbe council has noLbeen consid
ering this matter. We have carefully con
sidered it for tbe past three months and
have done everything that was possible to in
sure the continuation of our present health.
I believe Atlanta is cleaner to-day than it has
been in several years. Tlie inspectors ap
pointed by the mayor and council are doing
tine service. Every day they make coses
against citizens, ana they are carried before
the recorder. Oue could read some of the
publications about Atlanta and fancy we
were in danger of the terro» , s of an epidemic,
but there need be no such fear. The coun
cil has resolved to spend $100 per month on
disinfecting the streets, and the city will be
just as safe this summer as it ever was. The
sewers are better, and more extensive than
ever, and where we have no water we are,
using the carting system.”
The mayor spoke forcibly of the present
sanitary condition of the city and the efforts
the conncil was making to do all that the
most decided alarmist could ask.
COUNCILMAN ELLIS
expressed views very much the same, and
ipoke of the decreased number of deaths,
tie said Atlanta had been so misrepresented
by persons honestly mistaken as to its co
dition that there wa* danger of an inj _
rioos impression going abroad. He had
heard of. one tnan who became
alarmed at the talk about sickness and
went away with his family. The result
was that be and his family got sick and
came back to Atlanta for safety. The city
is cleaner than usuaL The council com
mittee went out the other day to try and
buy some lime to use as a disinfectant and
could not find a barrel in the city, ao great
had been the demand for it by private pai-
tiea who are now freely using disinfectants.
~e In no such danger
alarmists say. "he council
man regretted that such false ?mpres<sun
should go abroad where there is absolutely
—> reason for them.
Recorder John Miiledge said that 400 cases
had been made for violation of the city’
sanitary laws. The police and inspectors
are doing their duty and bringing up all
who fail to obset ve tne ordinances passed for
the city’s protection. He saw on ihe sex
’s books Friday that up to the 21st of
this month there had been only 41 inter

A Groom of Seventy-five Elopes With
a lirl«le of Forty.
Augusta Chronicle.
Augusta was treated to a genuine sensa
tion yesterday. Monday afternoon Mr.
George 1\ Curry received a telegram from
Colonel Whit G. Johnson, of Lexington,
asking him to see. the ministers and judi
cial officers of Richmond county and ask
them not to marry a couple from Lexing
ton who would probably come to Augusta
for that purpose, as the groom, Dr. Jas.
S Sims, had been adjudged an imbecile
and a guardian had been appointed for him.
Mr. Curry complied with the request and
also saw the chief of police to whom he
showed the telegram. Yesterday Chief
Christian received a telegram from Colonel
Johnson asking him to be.at the depot
when the Georgia traiu came in. The chief
was at the train promptly, and met Colonel
Johnson uud Samuel Lumpkin, Esq., who
informed him that their object was
to preveiU, if possible, a marriage
between Dr. Sims, of Lexington,
and Mrs. Adkins, of Oglethorpe county, as
Dr. Sims had lieen adjudged an imbecile
and was not able to contract marriage.
Chief Christian promised his * assistance,
but further developments showed that
nothing could be done. In order, however,
to properly understand the matter, it will
be necessarily to go Dack a little.
Last February Dr. Siius, who ia about
seventy-five years of age, a man possessed
of considerable means, variously estimated
at from twenty-five to fifty thousand dol
lars, was adjudged an imbecile
by a jury in tlie court of ordinary,
Judge Gilham presiding. The steps
which led to this result were taken by the
doctor's children. Colonel WilliamTh Sima,
and Mrs. John B. Morton, and his son-in-
law. Rev. John B. Morton. Colonel Sims
is lieutenant-governor of Mississippi. On
the 10th of last February Colonel Sima,
who was then on a visit to Lexington, after
consultation with Colonel Johnson iu
reference to his father. Dr. Sims, decided to
make application to the court of ordinary
for tlie appointment of a commission of luna
cy to try the questiou of Dr.Situ’a sanity. The
petition was signed by Colonel Sims, Rev.
a. B. Morton and Mrs. Morton. The matter
was investigated the next day by a jury
who, after hearing the testimony, decided
that tlie doctor was not of sound mind, and
the ordinary appointed X guardian in the
(>erson of his soii-iu-law, Rev. Mr. Morton.
On the trial the]>etitioners were represented
by Colonel Jokuson, and Dr. Sims by Mr.
Lumpkin. The l&tter stated to the court
and tlie jury that he was satisfied that tlie
doctor was not of sound mind and that the
appointment of a guardian was the best
thing that could be done for him.
A short time after this Dr. Simseiuployed
Messrs. John C. Reed, Hamilton McWhor
ter. J. T. Olive and Phil. Cook, jr., to moke
an effort to set aside the guardianship. A
motion was filed by these g ntlemen to set
aside the judgment of the court, on the
S mnd that the doctor had not received ten
ya notice of the proceeding in lunacy.
The counsel for the children contended that
the law only required notice to be given to
the three nearest adult relatives of the de
fendant living in the state, that those lhi$e
relatives liad signed the petition and thereby
waived the notice, and that no notice at all
was required to be giveu to the defendant.
The other side held that the law did require
such notice, and that if it did not it was un
constitutional, null and void. The ques
tion, then, in effect, came up upon the con
stitutionality of the law. The' ordinary re
fused to set aside hia judgment, whereupon
the defendant appealed to the superior court.
The question was argued before Judge Pottle
at the April term of Oglethorpe superior
coart. The court held that ten days’ notice
should have been given to Dr. tiims, and
therefore set aside the judgment of the or
dinary. To this the other side excepted,
and the case went up to the supreme court,
where it is still pending. Dr. minis’* coun
sel say they made a proposition to the at
torneys for the petitioners to -go before
another jury in tbe court of ordinary and
try the whole question instead of going
to the supreme court, but that this pro
position was rejected. The attorneys for
the petitioners say they did not agree to
this, because they did not want au inter
regnum between *tlie setting aside of the
judgment and the second trial, and they did
not wish to subject the doctor and his chil
dren to the mortification of another public
investigation. They say they have never
feared to test the issue on its merits.
Dr. Sims’s wife died last December, and
some time in January he commenced pay-
ii.g attention to Mrs. Adkins, who was
divorced from her husband several years
ago. Monday last Dr. Sims, accompanied
by Mr. Reed, came to Augusta and stopped
at the Augusta hotel. Yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Adkins, who is about forty years of
age, reached the city on the Georgia rail
road train, with Mr. McWhorter and Mr.
Cook, at the same time with Colonel John
son and Mr. Lumpkin. Dr. Sims had gone
over to Hamburg early in the morniug, and
there he was joined by Mrs. Adkins soon
aftei her arrival, and the twain were quickly
ot tne board ot ponce commissioners, says
the force is doing all it can to preserve the
health of tlie city, and he takes no stock ‘
the alarmist theory.
Thus it appeara that the general opinion
that Atlanta is in no danger from any
ipidemic, and that our old-time health
ifiall be ours still, only it will lie better.
ln casting around for sanitary items t
reporter fell in with Dr. J. G. West more
land, and asked hi* views on the subject of
health in our city.
Reporter—If yon have no objection,
please state your opinion of the city’s health
at present and our prospect in future.
Dr. W.—l have no good reason for refus
ing any views connected with public inter
ests. As regard* the healthtulness of At
lanta. there seems to be no ground for dis
cussion. With statistics of mortality be
fore us—which denote with sufficient accu
racy the state of health—only tbe most sim
ple calculations are necessary to decide
the question. Tlie cause of argum ent
in the Academy of Science a few
day’s since was founded in error of statis
tics. Dr. Taliaferro and 1 obtained the
death rate of several northern and southern
cities with tlie still born and deaths from
violence excluded. Now, in order to a fair
comparison with Atlanta, the deaths from
other cause than sickness should also have
been excluded here. My table of Atlauta
death* contained only the number of
deaths from disease, while hi* included
deaths from ail causes. Mine gave Atlanta
a smaller death rate than other cities with
which it wa* compared, his larger. With
these facts before a* who can say that At
lanta is not healthier than other cities?
From irregular statistics formed from re
liable Information, the country in an ad
joining county, where no sewers and so-
called poisoned water exist, has proven li
healthy than our city..
As to the future health of Atlanta, 1.
must say I can see nothing likely to change
our present state unfavorably. Washings

Chester,‘Pa.. June 25.—Somebody who
had a spite against Robert W. Rarasden,
who runs a stage-line between Chester and
Upland.*,set fire to his stable Snndav morn
ing. The buildiug wa* fired in three different
places. The flames communicated to Mr.
Rarasden’s residence, a handsome stone and
brick cottage. The stable, wheelwright and
blacksmith shop* were burned to the ground.
Seven horses and two mules perished in the
flames. Six stages and other property were
destroyed. Had it not been for the crying
of their little baby, Mr. and Mrs. Ramsden
would both have been burned to death. Upon
getting awake Ramsden at once rushed out
of the house, which was in a blaze, to the
stables, thinkiug to save his horses. He was
not able to get far inside the door, and re
tired terribly burned and almoet suffocated.
Pam and fright and the prospect of his loss
made the man insane, and, after running
for a few moments he fell to the ground in
a swoon. He lay insensible for a number
of hours, and. as his pulse had stopped beat
ing. he was thought<to be dead. His wife,
with nothing ou but her night clothing, es-
d unharmed with uSrbabyin her arms.

she was out of her mind, and at last ac

New Castle, Ky., June 25.—On last Sat
urday night, about 10 o’clock, a band of
twelve or fifteen kuklux attacked tlie houso
of a young negro man. Saui Forquer, living
on Sand Ripple, in the eastern portion of
this county. They began by throw ing stones
against the bouse, knocking off the weather
boarding and shingles, and also fired into
the doors and windows with pistols and
shot-guns. Forquer seized his gun
and came out of the door, when he
wa* tired at some fifteen or twenty
times, one shot taking effect in his
right -arm. After discharging hb gun he
made his escape to a woods just back of his
house. The band then entered the house
and shot a young negro man by the name
of Henry Russell, the ball entering the cen
ter of the forehead.and coming out at the
back of the head. They then pulled a straw
bed-tick to the front doer, ana setting it on
fire, by this means set fire to the house,
buming up anegro infant two yean* oljl and
negro girl about ten years old.
Raleigh. June 25 — Robert Jones (negro)
who murdered Rudolph Eaton (white) in
the village of'Rocky Mountain, December
25 th, 1877, was publicly hanged at Tar boro
to-day. Jones was twice convicted on strong
circumstantial evidence. An effort wa*
made to liave Governor Jarvis commute the
sentence to imprisonment for life, but he
declined to interfere beyond once granting
a respite to allow a thorough examination
of the case. At 10:50 a m. the sheriff left
the jail with the prisoner in an open wagon,
UieEdgecomb Guards accompanying, with
the negro fire company in red shirts. Jones
talked, laughed, poked fun at the sheriff,
dwelt long on his religious experience, and
said he was going straight to heaven. He
was the coolest man ever seen on the gal
lows there. He drank wine in remember-
ance of hb brethren in Christ, and shook

ensued from strangulation in 26 minutes.

The democratic party cannot ask or hope for s

that it prohibits the use of any money in the
treasury for the payn\pnt of partisan officials to
supervise and control elections. This is the head
and mint and full extent of all the offending in the
bill. It provides abundantly for all the expenses
of the courts, and all the machinery of the deport
ment of justice, but it strictly prohibits the use
of funds to pay deputy miushals for services in

On the 1st of January, 1879, the bank of France
held $l'.0,700,000of gold and $211,000,000 of silver.
There was in the hohd* of the French people
about an equal amount of gold and silver. They
have no trouble in France in keeping silver at par
with gold. French silver U taken in England or
Germany as well as in the Latin union at tfar

Boston at par with French gold. On the other
hand, American standard silver dollars are taken
in Englaud. Fiance. Germany, or Canada, at par

a class of knaves, supported by nin

Reporter. -Will you give mo your opin
ion of the possibility of yellow fever exist
ing here.
Dr. W.—While I feel some diffidence In
repeating an opinion so often expressed, and
to my mind so satisfactorily proven hut
year, yet as the assertions have been made
that it possibly and probably may prevail
Iti our midst, I do not fe$l justified ip re
fusing. The discussion in the Academy of
Science on this point, though limited, in
volved a yery grave question. I was sur
prised at the opinion of Dr. J. P. Logan,
sion, and riding up to the carriage in which
Mr. McWhorter and Mr. Reed were pro
ceeding to Hamburg, said: “Gentlemen,
this thing must stop. It can’t go another
step further.” The legal gentlemen aoon
explained matters and no further obstacle
wa* put in the way.
The bridegroom and bride remained in
Hamburg after tbe marriage.
A Chronicle reporter interviewed both
sides last evening. Messrs Johnson and
* lUmpkin hold that there can be no doubt
i to Dr. Sima's imbecility. They say that
e was once one of the most aristocratic, in
telligent and cultivated men in Oglethorpe
county, but tiiat bis mind and health began
failing about three years ago. and he is now
a fHirfect imbecile, without capacity to
make any contract. They cite several ex
amples of his mental condition and inca
pability. They say tiiat there can be no
doubt that any jury in the country will de
clare him imbecile. Counsel for Dr. Sims,
tbe other band, declare that the
doctor is perfectly rane and in alh
reppects capable of making ’ any
civil contract. As an example of this they
cite the fact that in a suit between one Swep-
son H. Cox and Dr. Sims, referred to an audi-
to-, tbe matter was decided in favor of
Dr. Sims upon testimony of the Utter, show
ing that be kiiew what he was about. They
Also say that Dr. Sim* remarked in reference
to the other side carrying the case up to tbe
supreme cour., that they intended to keep
him in law till he died. They ray that the
only time he lo*t money was in tbe years of
the panic, 187^-74 and 1875. They are con
fident that Dr. Sima’s mental capacity will
fie perfectly established.
Counsel for Mr. Morton, the guardian,
bold that tbe ceremony yesterday was ik
marriage at all, and will so be held by tbe
courts.
We understand that the bride is worth
about $15,000 in her own right.
Counsel fur Dr. Sims say tLey would
never have consented to tne marriage if
they had not been perfectly certain that he
was of sound mind and discretion.
