Staff Correspondence of Ihe Constitution.
Washington. January 3.—There is still a great
deal of talk about Dr. Felton’s coming speech,
and a variety of opinions as to what it will con
tain. The belief is universal that it will be a
much milder speech than it would have been had
it been delivered a month ago. 1 understand
that in an ii.formal conference of Georgia mem
bers it was decided that ihe Bon. K J Hammond
should reply to Dr. Felton if a reply was needed
—and that when Blount asked him if he Intended
to n fleet on the democracy of other districts than
the seventh, he replied that he should speak ouly
of the abuses in the seventh district. A Geor

flie Magna R>»nU<* aad Their Holders
We print elsewhere a communication
from the pen of Colonel It. K. Hines,
Macon, in regard to the claims of th*
holders of the bonds of the Brunswick
and Albany railroad against the s’ate.
The communication is a clear exposition
of the status of those bondholders and
embodies a concise history of their case.
It is a prelude to what may in time be
come an interesting controversy, and we
commend the facts set forth to the atten
tion of our readers It appears from
Colonel Hines’s history of the case thai
these bondholders are not only not
nocent as they claim to he, bnt that they
have not suffered as great pecuniar}' loss
os they pretend; and it appears, fnrther-
moie, that they are al*out to attempt to
set up what is mildly termed a legal
fraud. The real victims of these bogus

The Xew Senatorial Crap.
Twenty-five new senators, out of
seventy-six, will take their seats on the
fourth day of next March, always pro
vided there is an exira session of at least
the senate, as of course tbero will be, if
only to confirm the nominations of the
new president. Five of the twenty-five
new senators have been elected, namely:
A. P. Gorman to succeed Senator Whyte,
of Maryland; General George to succeed
Senator Bruce, of Mississippi; General
Mahone to succeed Senator Withers, of
Virginia; General Burnside, of Rhode
Island, and Mr. E Imnnds, of Vermont,
each to be his own successor.
The work of electing the twenty other
senators will begin next Tuesday, when
choices will be made in California, Ne
vatla, Ohio and Tennessee. In California
the republican caucus has already placed
in nomination, Geneial Miller, a native
of Indiana, and a millionaire. He will
be Senator Booth’s successor. In Ne
vada the democrats have nominated Bo
nanza Fair. He will succeed Senator
9haron. In Ohio John Sherman has a
walk-over for the seat that Mr. Gar
field would have filled if he had
not encountered a presidential
rial windfall. In Tennessee things arc
“mixed,” both houses be ; ng distressingly
divided up among several parties and
cliques. The chances of securing a dem
ocrat to succeed Senator Bailey are,
however, good, but no man can oretell
the name of that democrat.
A week later, January 13, will be one
of excitement at no less than thirteen
state capitals, to say nothing of the feel
ing in other parts of the contrary. Con
nect ient, Delaware, Florida, Indiana,
Maine, Massachusetts. Michigan, Minne
sota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York
Pennsylvania and Texas will on that
day select thirteen senators.
Connecticut General Joe Hawley will
certainly succeed Senator Eaton, and it
is equally certain that Senator Bayard, of
Delaware, will be his own successor.
The beet information is to the effect that
Senator Jones, o! Florida, will be his own
successor, although a few bourbons are
trying to compass his defeat. In Indiana
Senator McDonald will doubtless be sue
ceeded'bv Ben Harrison, a grandson of a
president, and a good lawyer. Mr. Har
rison has opponents, but he will doubt
less be able to secure the price.
Maine Eugene Hale has received the re
publican nomination, and wiU in due
course of time take the seat of the
ancient Hamlin, who voluntarily retires.
Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, has
conquered a peaceful re-election. He
has got the upper hand of the Boston
kickers, and “ high cuichaw ’ generally.

“ Was it done with a view of obtaining
control of the road?*’
“I have no idea it was. You must re

THE CONDITION OF MEMPHIS.
I met an intelligent Memphian yesterday, who
gave me cbeei lug news from that ill-fated city.
“We have made reforms and improvements,” ht
►aid, “that 1 feel sure will give us exemption
from yellow fever Iu the future. Increditable a>
It may appear, the city of Memphis, prior
to this year, had no sewerage
With the exception of a hotel, and
a block of banks and business houses that had
private sewers, every home had a cess-pool
water closet that were cleaned by carts with
pumps. The driukiag water all came from cis
terns dug iu the same soil in which th* se pits foi
closets were dug. and it is little wonder that th*
fever took us by the throat. Now there is a com
pieteand efficient system of sewerage, and th*
surface closet < are done away with. Every houst
almost has lu water closet properly trapped, and
couueeted with ample s*wera, Then we have
uetwork of drainage sewers tuuk into the ground.
These ate not connected with closets, but are pu
in simply for cleaning the s il by absorbing u
impurities. The pipes are put together with
porous joints through which the damp impuritk*
of the soil are absorbed iuto the pipe and carriec
off. At the mouth of these pipes there
seen a little stream of f juI .and dLcolored wate<
flowing almost continually.”
"You think then that Memphis is safe?”
“No city is safe from a visitation of yellow

has ever gone. But we think thai
the changes made will prevent
getting a deadly hold ou ux again. We hav*
found the cause of our trouble and we have
moved it, and put iu the remedy. We are natu
rally entitled to health, for Memphis Is place-

“What is the financial condition of the city?”
“Well, it is hardly a city. It is simply a tax

MR. W. H. PATTERSON AND THE GEORGIA WESTERN
ROAD.
I had a Ulk with Colonel Cole the other night,
and asked him if he thought the Georgia Western
would be built ia the next five years. * ‘I do," he
replied; “it certainly must be built witblu a few
years!” The trouble we have had with the Geor
gia West*rn, as it looks to me, is that we have not
had one man a t the head of it. We have commit
tees, but not a single leader. Now, committees
never build railroads. It take* one man who
will put his character, his energy, and his
sagacity into it, and give it all his time, feeling
that he ha*, all the responsibility. There is a
in Atlanta who Is pre-emiuently the man for such
a work-and that man is W. H. Patterson ol
Citizens’ bank. If the people of Atlanta will
subscribe 8AO.COO—and they will do it easy
enough—aud the subscribers will then elect Pat
terson. president, and give him the power to go
ahead—he can build the road as sure as shooting.
he will only accept the place. He would first
go to the Louisville and Nashville headquarters,
exactly what could be done with the charter
they hold, and never leave the headquarters till
he get a positive and official decision. With his
-■OO.Ot-O subscribed In Atlanta, he would then go
to work in New York and raise money with which
to build enough of the road to put
bond on to finish it with. I have been aston
ished to see the reputation Mr. Patterson has here
among moneyed men, and the powerful connec
tions he has. No man in Georgi* c *uld d» more
lu New York with a legitimate enterprise—and
that the Georgia Western surely is. I do uot
claim credit for tbis suggestion. It was given m*
by a bank officer, who assured me that if Pallet
put at the head of the enterprise am
approved it as safe, he would take $ O.i 00 stock in
t himself, and would lend his influence
ale of its bonds. I spoke of it to another t
railroader interested in Georgia, and he said: “If
Patterson could get that charter and would take
hold of the enterprise, I might put iu caough to
enable him to push t through. I would
tainly heip heavily.”
I cannot say any more, but I am morally
that if Patterson i9 put iu charge of the thing
and will take It, aud if $2u0,000 is subscribed
home—that he can come to New York, get the old
charter without payiug a dollar, and in thirty
days have enough money subscribed to build
equip the road, with the help of its bonds. If
he don't do it he will turn the trust back ingoml
order. If the pe pie r*al y want tbe read they
can get ii quicker through one man than through
a commit ice—and through Patterson quickcrtbar*
any other man. H. W. G.

to 23 degree**, and the oranges at that place
were badly frozen.
The damage to the crop cannot be
ratelv estimated. It is the general opinion
that the trees will not be hurt, and it is
hoped that the number of oranges destroy
ed by the cold will not be as large as most

The West Point Myaterjr Solved.
A remarkable case that shows the shrewdnes
i detective has just occurred at Weft Point, Ga.
On Monday, the tbiid instant, about 9 o’clock
p m., the expres' office at West Poiut was robb<
Vbout 9:30 the agent was found in his office with
wound in his head, appHrently insensible, a
broken bowl in front cf him, atid the door about
half open near him, and tbe &ife with no money
it He was taken to the hotel, two physicians
were summoned, and he was found to be cold and
pronounced insensible—the pupils of his eyes
somewhat dilated, and a wound found on top of
his head somewhat iu shape of a chicken's foot,
ihow'ng that the skin had been cut with slight
contusion around the fissures In the skin.
The town was soon on the alert, and in a short
time several men were under suspicion as the
perpetrators of the hideous crime. The marshal
tried to arrest a negro who was on the platform of
train that was leaving the depot, and who had
failed to stop when called to do to by the marshal
the crime was discovered, and the marshal
hinking the negro the guilty party, fired at him
he retired on the leaving train. The towu
of West Point was fully aroused, and two or
three parties were suspected in a short time.
Mr. E. K. Wilson was tbe agent of the express
company who had been so badly treated and
obbed. was also the agent for the Western Union
telegraph company at West Point, and on Tues
day morning he telegraphed to Mr. W. H. Clay-
1, superintendent of the Southern express com
pany at Atlanta:
i clubbed last night, and the office
robbed.

Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Washington, January 8.—I see it is going the
round of the papers, that Senator Brown said to
General Raum, commissioner of internal reve
nue. that he approved of the course of tbe reve
nue agents of Georgia, and tendered his cordial
support in executing the laws. Tbis is not a fair
statement as I understand ol whit occurred.
Senator Brown pointed out to Commisrioncr
Raum the wrongs that bad been doue the people
of Georgia by subordinates iu the execution of
the Uw. He did not know whether those subor
dinates were in Raum’sdepartment, or connected
with tbe other departments of government there,
but there were abuses which ought to be correc
ted. And he assured the commissioner that the
people of Georgia were a law abiding people, and
the departments of government would correct
these abuses that have been m» often y :-r|*etrated
•y subordinates which have brought the execu
tion of the Uw into disrepute, he. together with
the whole people of the slate, would very cor
dially and earnestly co-operate with the authorl-
lies in the faithful execution of the laws. W hat-
y be the opinion of Senator Brown or of
the people of Georgia, cf the policy of these laws,
is of the opinion that they should be faithfully
xecuted while they remain oa the statute book,
ud that the special officers of the government
ihould see to it, that their subordinates are not
guilty of abuses in the execution of the law.
Alexander H. Stepheus uas expressed the
•pit.i-m that the electoral vote of his state should
not be counted. He was very emphatic in hU
characterization of the folly of the gentlemen
who passed the law which makes the day for tbe
bliog of the Georgia legislature the
Wednesday following the first Monday in De
cember, instead of the first Wednesday.
“Ihese wiseacres,” said Mr. Stephens, “un-
oubudly thought that the first Wednesday
must always follow the fiist Monday."
Other democrats iu congress are of the Fame
opinion aa Mr. Stephens, among wham la Mr.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, who says that while these
votes plainly should not be counted there is no
way, in the absence ot some definite rule of
procedureon the subject, to subject them. The
only anologous case ou record is that of Wiscon
sin iu 1808. lu (ouuting this vote, objection was
made by Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, and Mr.
Franklin, of Virgiuia, but the presiding
officer of the occasion, Mr. Mason,
of Virgiuia decided that the func
tion of the joint convention of the iwo houses
was to witness the counting oi votes and of the
presiding officer lo count them, and thereupon
he adjourned the meeting. In this view oi the
vase, ihe vote ol Georgia must be counted, simply
because the two housai cannot do otherwise iu
be absence of the twenty-second jolut rule.

GOOD roR THE GEORGIA “CRACKER.”
At a lay-over on a snow-bound train the other
day 1 beard a group of drummers talking in a way
that would have done Mr. titepheus’s heart good,
could he only have heard them. Haul one:
“I have beeu selliug mules in Georgia for 25
years and I never saw the people in auch a fix ah
they are now. It looks like every Georgia crackei
carries s flOO or so In his breeches pocket all the
time. A few yean ago when I sold a mule to a
farmer he invariably took me to his factor and
borrowed the money to pay for it with. Now he
ruus his baud iuto his pocket, draws out a wallet
aud couuu me down the bills There is no loug
er any sale for cheap mules. Even the negroe
won’t buy anything but the best, aud they alwayt.
have the money to pay with."
Mr. O’Sbaughnessy, an importer of Irish lin ns.
just from a Geo gia trip, »aid, “I have nev«.r seen
the time when my customers were so ready with
the ca>h. On 30 day sales there is probably 75 pei
cent that pay cash and take the discount. In
Alabama this is not so noticeable ?n in ueorg a.
The Georgia merchants generally seem to think
that the “boom” will continue and
higher prices obtain, as they have
bought heavily of goods for next spring and fall
delivery—may fear a rise iu prices and want to
lay in future stock at present figure*."
Mr. Baldwin, well known iu Atlanta, repre
senting a Boston shoe house, said: “My r«*h
sales lu Georgia ate 00 per cent bigger this season
than ever before. The merchants, almost with
out exception, want to pay cash and take the
di-count. They all say that the people are m
prosperous than they have ever known them. 1
SOME RICH FANCIES IN NEW YORK.
In nothing has New York advanced so rapidly
of late as in the luxurious appointments of her
homes. There is little doubt that America will,
within the next twenty years, set against the
sombre splendor and slowly-accumulated tress
urea of the English homes, and the elaborate
finery of the French, a glittering combination of
taitte and regularity that will astonish, if it due;
not compel, admiration. Tbe very newness that
will rob it of the dignity and reposeful beauty of
the old castles and country seats, will add
splendorous effect and enhance its substantial
effect. It is one of the sequences that a man who
made his own fortune in a few
absorbing bu«ine*a will have less culture
than he needs when he goes to spend IL It is
of the compensations though that be pu*j bis
check bo.-k in the hands of artificers, and gives
them carte blanche, and so we have riotous prodi
gality, ii nothing else. Look at some figures.
One of the new Vanderbilt houses Is contracted
at <850,000 for the house alone. Fifteen houses
like Vanderbilt’s unfurnished, will be worth
more than all the houses and lots in Atlanta, and
when ho haa moved into it and has it adorned
with all its (ictures and appointments, I have
doubt that fire or six houses like It would cost
more than the entire city of Atlanta. And yet I
had rather live in a cottage in Atlanta than to
own Mr. Vanderbilt’s house and make It my
home.
