THROUGH TO ATLANTA.
A Direct Route From Evansville Pro
jected to Connect With Atlanta.
Evanrville Journal.
Mr. E. W. Cole, president of the Owens
boro & Nashville railroad company, arrived
in the city last evening and is at the bt.
George hotel. The Owensboro and Nashvuie
road is a development of the old Owens
boro and Russellville railroad. It is under
contract to Springfield from Nashville, and
its completion is expected without doubt by
railroad authorities everywhere. This route
was decided upon when the Iaunsville an “
Nashville purchased the southern end of
'the Southeastern, and controlled both routes
to the north and east. The Nashville and
Chattanooga road was left without any
means to control its freight to and trom the
north, and the completion of a road whicn
would give them a competing line was an
absolute necessity. Over $1,500,000 will be
invested in the new road, and the means
are secured. Thirty-five miles of the road
out of Owensboro are already built.
Some two weeks ago Mr. Cole telegraphed
Colonel Martin, of the K. «fc T. H., to the
effect that he hail a proposition to make to
the city relative to the extension of the road
from Owensboro to Evansville, or its diver
sion from Livermore, Kentucky, to a point

In many of tlie articles named, notably in
the esse of wheat, it is lielieved tlie ad
vance is due as much to methods bor
rowed from Wall street as to any legiti
mate demand for consumption. If this
ia the ca*e, serious reactions and diaturlt-
ing fluctuations will occur; for nothing is
more certain than that unwarranted ad
vances in value* bring ont latent sup
plies, check consumption, and a* soon as
possible augment production. Bat moat
ol the articles we have named have gone
up to stay np.
Cotton has not fully shared Ihtj expan
sion of values, and is relatively lower
than moat of the leatling articles of com
merce; but it is even now bringing a
price that leaves a handsome profit in the
hands of its producers, if they do not have
to buy any considerable quantity of the
other staples that have bean advanced in
price in a greater proportionate degree.
Tlie farmer. In other words, whosellscot-
ton at ruling figures to put it in corn
and pork at ruling flgnrea is not making
any more money than he did a year ago
—perhaps not aa much. And so comes
in the old familiar lesson. If we would
reap the ad vantages of better prices for our
great staple, we must raise our own ce
reals and provisions. If we depend
upon the northwest for these,
have done, wo will assuredly come out
each year badly squeezed; because the
northwest has now and probably always
will have an European demand, and will
therefore be able to command good
prices for its products.
If ia addition to the production of sup
plies for home consumption, we would
use as much as possible of the profits of
the current cotton crop to lay the founds
tion of a system for spinning future crops
of the fleecy staple, there would be no
more doubt of our success, commercially
speaking,than there is of the son appear
ing above the horizon to-morrow mom-
ing. The matter is as plain as a pike
staff, and easy of accomplishment. The
farmer who will not make preparations
to produce next year all the bread and
meat that he needs, will assuredly make
preparations to bring loss and disti
both upon himself and the people of his
state. He will contribute to a common
poverty. And the men of surplus capi
tal who will not combine sums in the
construction of neighborhood yarn mills
need not expect to see their property ad
vance in value or their state share in
prosperity that is showering bless
ings on people in every direction who
are wiser snd more far-seeing. In
word, fellow citizens, let ns, as we hope
to be prosperous and happy, diversify oar
agriculture and extend our manufactures.
Neither calls for large accumulations of
capital. Neither is out of our reach,

To-Day** Election*.
Eleven states hold elections toslay
(Tuesday), but in only two—Massachn
setts and New York—are the contests
sufficiently doubtful to arouse much in

can it scarcely be aald that the electlens

point of result In Massachusetts Gen-
ral Butler is appealing to the masses,
the poorer portion, the laboring people,
both parties, and the cities of the state

What shall we say of New York?
eamuddle; and perhaps we can best
present the sitnation by giving the esti
mates that the Herald presented on
Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
We begin with the republicans. Mr.
Charles A. Spencer, an active and well
known politician, says the republicans
will poll 60,000 votes in New York city,
leaving 40,000 for Tammany and 50,000
for anti-Tammtuiy. He sets Cornell’
plarality in the state down at 75,000. Ex-
Congressman Platt, now chairman of the
state republican committee, says Cornell
will bare a majority in the state of 18,000.

very beneficial towards our cause. It | j nuc j, shorter line east and to Chicago than
timate, the services of one hundred
thousand gin, are required to aid in pre
paring a crop of 5,000,000 hales of cotton
market. We will assume,
therefore, that there are 100,000
gin-house in the south, and that these
gin houses are worth $750 each. Some
are worth more ami some less, but we
will roughly estimate their worth at
$750, which makes tlie value of the south
orn gin-houses $75,000,000. How often
does this property have to lie renewed?
We can give no figures here, but it is suf
ficient to say that from the first of Sep
tember, 1874, to the first of September,
1875, the newspapers ol Georgia clironi
cled the burning of 146 gin-houses. The
chronicle was kept by two papers, the
Columbus Enquirer and the Savannah
News, and the first made the number
146 and the latter 136—if we remember
correctly. Add to this those that were
never reported to the newspapers and
we have 175 gin-houses burned in Geor-
gia in one year. From February, 1872,
to September, 1873, there were burned
in Georgia,according to a tolerably careful
list kept by one of the editors of
the Savannah News, there were
157 gin-houses destroyed in Geor
gia by fire. This is a terrible
record, but every succeeding year has
added to the list, and scarcely a day
passes that our exchanges do not chron
icle the destruction of one or more gin-
houses. It must be obvious, therefore,
that to any estimate of the value of
the 100,000 gin-houses in the south must
be added the cost of renewing them more
frequently than any other species of
property. This may be called the risk,
and amounts to a considerable percent
of the $75,000,000, though how much we
shall not undertake to say. Another fact
to lie taken into consideration is that this
property is in nse on an average only one
month of the twelve—which is equiva
lent to paying a year’s interest on a sum
of money for the privilege of using it one
month.
Tlie thoughtfnl reader can make esti
mates fitted to his information. Wc have
merely given the cne; but any estimale
must show a terrible array of figures to
offset the profits of the cotton crop, and
the waste is worse than the drain. Just
here the Westminster process steps in
between the planter and Ms gin-honses
and by abolishing the latter and render
ing their renewal useless, puts seventy-
five millions in the empty pockets of the
south. But this is not all. At a low es
timate it costa the planter $1.50 to pre-
prae his bale of cotton for market after it
ginned—to dress it in an appro
priate suit of bagging and bind
with ties. Let ns say then that
the bagging and ties of a crop of 5,000,-
000 bales costs the south $5,250,000
in cash or its equivalent. In the present
condition of things it is a cost that is ab
solute and inevitable, and to annihilate it
is to add thevsnm it represents to the
profits of tlie cotton crop. This, accord
ing to the testimony of eye-witnesses, is
what the Westminster mill does. The
cotton is taken from the baskets as it
comes from the field and converted into
marketable yarns, far more valuable for
all purposes of trade and commerce than
the cotton that has been ginned, baled
snd compressed. At a rough estimate,
one hundred per i ent has been added to
the price it will fetch the farmer; ao that
with all the cost of gin-houses out of tbe
way, the vast cost of bagging and ties, the
Ices in sampling ami stealage, the cost of
weighing and storage, and tbe thousand
and one commissions annihilated, the
farmer has his cotton in tlie shape of
yarns, and, leaving ont of sight all the
ving in the costs that are done away
with, it is worth one hundred per cent
more than the cotton that is prepared
for market in the old way.
We must confess that we are incli ned to
be enthusiastic in regard to this new pro
cess. Therecan be no sort of mistakes, to
what it accomplishes, and we believe it
is a solution of a problem that has long
vexed the south. In our opinion it revolu
tionize* the prospects of this section and
opens np to ns a fotnre of unexampled
prosperity. Are we too sanguine? This
depends upon whether the Westminster
mill can accomplish these malts with
which it has been credited by those who
have seen it We have been told that
some prominent manufacturers, after
looking at lhe machinery of the mill,
have doubted the accuracy of tbe reports
that led them thither. Bnt they were
deceived by tbe very quality which gives
the mill its value—namely, iu simplicity.
Used to ponderous machinery, they could
not conceive how such simplicity could

Michigan Senator.
Chicago, November 1.—Senator Zachari
ah Chandler, of Michigan, was found dead
his bed at the Grand Pacific hotel this
morning. He had been speaking in Wis
consin, and last night addressed an immense
audience at McCormick hall, in this city,
and spoke with his usual earnestness.
After the meeting, when he and Senator
Logan and Hon. Je*se Spaulding were sit
ting in his room engaged iu conversation,
Senator Chandler complained of indiges
tion. As he hud complained of some
distressing feeling while en route to the
city with these pertlemer, Mr. Spaulding
suggested he remain over in tbe city until
Saturday night, but he said business affairs
required his attention at home, and au or
der was given to have him called in the
morning at 7 o'clock. His friends then bade
him good uight aud left. That was the
last time the senator was seen alive. This
morning when the office boy called him
lucre was no response. As upon repetition
silence prevailed, the clerk effected entrance
through the transom and found that the
senator wa* dead. The body was not quite
cold, and the physician who was present
decided that his death occurred about three
hours previous to tbe discovery. The face
looked tranquil, showing that death was
painless. The coroner will hold an inquest
John B Drake telegraphed President Hayes
th*» sad intei *gence about 8 o’clock.
From further examination, it is thought
he died of sudden congestion of the Inngs
brought on by coldcontracied at Janesville.
The flags are at i»alf mast npon the Pacific
hotel and other build.nga. The Tribune
building is also draped in mourning. The
Union Veteran club and the officers of the
county militia had informal consultations
to tender their services to the family when
they arrive.
A meeting of citizens was held this after
noon to arrange for paying proper respect
to the late Senator Chandler. A committee
with General Logan as chairman was ap
pointed to meet a special train from Detroit
with the committee to take charge of the
remains. General Torrance, commanding
the first brigade of the Illinois National
Guard, offered a derail as escort to the body
when removed from the city. The offer
was accepted.

Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Macon, Ga., October 29.—The beautiful
weather continued all day. Strangers are
still pouring into the city. It is estimated
that 20,000 visitors are iu the city. All the
prominent business houses are decorated
with stars and stripes waving alongside the
stars and bars. Every building in the vi
cinity of the monument was crowded, every
available space in the windows and roof
being occupied by anxious spectators,
while the streets presented a perfect jam.
The procession formed at 10 o’clock in
the following order:
Ladies' Memorial Association, the Monumental
Committee and the orator of the day in
carriages.
Music.
Second Georgia Battallion and visiting Companies.
Survivors of Cook’s Brigade.
Veterans ot Confederate Armies.
The line of march extended over all of
the most prominent thoroughfares in the
city, stacking their arms in the rear
of the monument, with the batteries drawn
up at the right and rear. With the firing
of the first gun the lines were drawn, and
the monument stood unveiled amid the
cheers of the assemblage. The remaining
ten guns of the salute followed—one for
each seceding state. The grand stand was
tilled with distinguished visitors, and the
Ladies memorial association waved aloft a
tattered and torn” confederate battle flag.
Governor Colquitt, in a few but eloquent
words, introduced the orator of the day.
Colonel Thomas Hardeman. Jr., who spoke
but twenty-three minutes. In that time he
paid a gallant tribute to to the “heroes who
died*' in defense of the southern cause, and
to the Ladies’ memorial association. The
theme was a grand one and most worthily
was tbe task performed,'as'the hearty ap
plause attested. After this one hundred
guns were fired and the ceremonies were at
an end.

this success will forever settle the question

A GLANCE AT THOSE TIMES.
Wilson Lumpkin was at that time the
honorable and beloved goveroor of Georgia
and the general assembly was composed ot
able men, numbers of whom afterwards
grew to be the most distinguished men of
their times in the commonwealth.
A glance at the vote revealed that of the
138 members of the bouse just two more
than one one-half of them voted upon the
resolutions, and they were adopted by the
vote of three less than a third of the entire
body.
Of those who voted upon the resolutions,
tlie only one now living is Hon. Hiram
Warner, then the young and talented rep
resentative of the county of Crawford, and
iow the venerable and distinguished chief
.usticeof the state. His vote is f und re
corded in the negative It will be remetu-
l»ered that Judge Warner is a native of
New Hampshire, and came to Georgia in
1821.
Of those who did not vote, we can learn
: only three who are alive viz.:
Hon. Eli Warren, then representing the
county of Laurens, and who lias since t>een
a member of the constitutional convention
of 1865 and 1877.
Hon. Wm. B. Fleming, then from the
county of Liberty, and who has since held
prominent positions, filled the nnexpired
ierm in congress of Hon. Julian Hartridge
(February ard March, 1870.) and is now the
judge of the superior courts of the eastern
circuit.
Hon. James Woods, then of Coweta
county, of whose subsequent career aud
present whereabouts, we have no account.
Of the members of the senate of that day
we are unable to learn of a single survivor.
A TALK WITH JUDGE WARNER.
Our reporter sought out Chief-Justice
Warner at his room in the Angier mansion
and requested of him some of his recol
lections of the times and the incidents of
the passage of the above resolutions.
“I remember,” said Judge Warner, “see
ing in the Tribune at the time of his death
an obituary notice of Garrison in which
this fact was stated, but I did not think
enough of it to refer to the matter again.”
“Do you recall any of the incidents con
nected with the resolutions?”
•‘Well, since looking over tbe journals
my memory is refreshed as to some of
them.”
“I see the late Judge Eugenius A. Xisbet
was the introducer in tbe senate? *
“Yes, that is true. I was a little surpris
ed at Nesbit for doing so. as he was always
a conservative man and not given to doing
foolisn things.”
“Was there any special excitement at the
time.or peculiar reason for the resolutions?”
“Nothing more than that the Liberator
was ttien in its first efforts and its appear
ance had caused something of a sensation.

ed m the legislature, and indignation was

“Was he successful?’
“Oh. yes; be was nominated and elected.
I also recall the fact that I made a speech
against the adoption of the resolutions.
I replied to a speech in
their favor made by James A. Meriwether,
of Putnam county. I opposed them and
one of my arguments was that the resolu
tions offered a premium to any one to in
vade another state and kidnap one. of its
citizens. This was against tbe claims of
tha state's rights men, and I recollect that
Jack Howard, of Baldwin, one of the strong

A Mortl* Carolina Mountain on n Ben
der.
Conyers. October 29.—It is not an un
common thing for chestnut wagons to come
here all the way from western North Caro
lina, and finding one in town this morning,
I entered into conversation with the driver,
and learned to roy gratification that he was
from the vicinity of Chunky Gal mountain.
“What about the landslide over your
way?’ I inquired as I sampled a few chest
nuts
“It’s wuss’n that, stranger,” said the
chestnut man, "it’s a reg’Iar airtbquick.”
“Tell me about it”
“Well,” said tbe North Carolinian, eyeing
me suspiciously, “thar ain’t much to tell,
only Chunky Gal split herself from top to
bottom about three weeks ago, an* played

“What is the extent of the damage?’ I
asked.

months, but nobody allowed as anything
serious was go in’ to happen till about three

“Well, what occurred then?*
“Why, a.r, we heerd a noise like thnnder

“Everyihing was torn ap, sir—big rocks

strangest part of all was a split we diakiv-
ered in the mountain—we followed it a mile
or more, but was afeared to go any far
ther.”
“How wide was the split, as you call it?’
“Oh, it was not so very wide—that was
not the thing—it was the sinking of that
part of the mountain on the eastern ride of
the split—that bothered us a heap. In some

his tale, the others started out in search for
Bodie; but. though they tramped around
in the snow all night, they could not find
tlie slightest trace of their missing leader.
For twenty years, therefore, a mystery has
surrounded the death of Bodie, and his
wife has never given up a faint hope of see
ing him again. During all theae years she
has resided in this city, earning a scanty
living as a seamstress, and enduring an ac
cumulation of misfortunes in tbe successive
loss of six children—some of them meeting
violent deaths. One was drowned in an old
mill pond, and another, who had learned
his father’s trade, fell from a high building
in New Brunswick, N. J. a and was fatally
injured. It has been rumored that Bodie’s
claim in the mine was still good, and that
the proof of his death will throw an im
mense fortune Into the hands of his desti
tute widow, but good authority states that
Bodie’s partners, discouraged by his death,
left the claim, which, after several years
was “jumped,” aud the mine reopened by
other persoas.
Cornwall, Ont., October 1.—Clark Brown
convicted of tlie murder of his father and
-later at West Winchester, on the night of
the 2d of September, was hanged here
yesterday morning, in the presence of about
<5 persous. The prisoner walketifwith a firm
step to the gallows, and said nothing. His
confession bad been given under seal *o
Rev. Dr. McNish. After being placed
the trap, the black cap was drawn over
face, the nooee slipped over his head, and
daring the delivenr of the Lord’s prayer, the
bolt was drawn. Not a muscle move i. The
pulse ceased to beat in eight minute* after
the bolt was drawn. The following is the
confession read by I)r. McNish aJt^r the
execution:
“I, Clark Brown, wfy) am soon to appear
before God, my maker, make this, ray last
confession. I told the whole truth before
of tbe murder of my poor father and s-ster.
I kept nothing back, and I alone did the
murder, and no one helped me to murder
my father and sister. I am charged with
poisoning my uncle, Warren Hendera ml
1 positively deny the charge, for I am inno

a lady in a ball-room. I positively deny
that charge, for I am innocent I
deny telling the older Sharp that I intend
ed killing my wife, and I hope in God s
mercy she will never believe snch a thing
of me. It is my dying request that no sus
picion should rest on my mother or my
darling wife, for I and I alone am guilty,
and I am willing to suffer the punishment
of death for my awful crime. I hope God
has forgiven me. I cling to the firm belief
that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us
from all sin, and even I hope to be forgiven
through the sacrifice of the Son of God.”
