Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Eicinosn, Va., October 20.???It lias been al
most impossible to get a positive answer as to
the visitors to the exposition from York town.
The crowd is so enormous and the gathering
places so few that no appointments can lie re
lied on; this much is assured. Governor
Blackburn, of Kentucky, and stair will reach
Atlanta on the 20tli.

And staff will leave Harrisburg for Atlanta
Monday evening at four o'clock.
Governor Jarvis, of North Carolina, and

ments.
Governor Long, of Massachusetts, will visit
the exposition in about one month.
General Sherman and staff will leave Wash
ington for Atlanta on the lOtli of November.
The French visitors will return to Washing
ton immediately, and will not go south.
I did not exactly understand their reply to
our invitation, as tlieir French is not
.good. Governors Cornell, Cullom, Jerome
and Ludlow were forced to decline
at present, but hope to come later.
-Governor Bigelow, of Connecticut, and the
Thirteenth regiment Connecticut line left
Gris evening on tlieir steamer for Charleston.
Governor Bigelow will go lienee to Atlanta^

???finest regiment on parade to-dny.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, will leave
Washington witli the government
??ifliciuls on the twenty-fifth, bring
ing un exhibit of one thousand articles,
athered by the government, and sent to At

Several senators announce that they will
:go to Atlanta after the adjournment of the
senate.
The interest in the south and her cotton
.show Is simply immense, ami avast crowd
may lie expected in the next thirty days.
Mr. M. I*. Handy, of the Philadelphia Press;

The marching of the troops generally was
very fine and excited great interest among
the military men, and elicited loud cheers
from the multitude. p General Hancock and
General Fitz Hugh Lee were both loudly

to ???The Blue and the'Gray,??? and in recogni

President Arthur, David Davis, president of
the senate, French ami German visitors. Rear
Admiral Wyman, officers of army and navy,
members of congressional commission and
.governors and officers of state.
The military review took place this morn
ing, and the column was one hourand twenty
minutes passing a given point.
General Hancock and staff, rode at the head
???of the line, and when they readied the grand
.stand, fell out and took position on the stand
with President Arthur, the cabinet and
foreign guests, while the column passed. In
the review nine thousand and five hundred
men were in line. The president was quite
???enthusiastic over the magnificence of the dis
play. The only colored troops on parade were
two companies from Richmond, Virginia.
They were loudly cheered by spectators from
the north.

The Georgia railroad will transport at half

Georgia by a creditable exhibition of the
products of her soil rests with you. Will you
not collect in each neighborhood representa

gia products and thus aid in sustaining the
goodnuincof our beloved commonwealth?
Other states are making magnificent displays
of their resources for the purpose of inducing

which to exhibit her products. You have
the building furnished you free and arc only
asked to contribute small samples of your
products. Georgians have never failed to re
spond when duty ealled and will not now.
We will have within two weeks a display of
tlie products of Georgia???s soil of which every
true Georgian shall he proud. We boast o
the endless variety of our productions as well
of as their quality. It is desirable to illustrate
both, but do not he deterred from
sending any product of your farm, orchard or
garden by the fear that your contribution
may he surpassed by some other. Every pro
duct however insignificant it may seem in
your eye will be useful in the general display
of the variety of our productions.
Direct samples carefully and securely
packed to J. T. Henderson, chief of the de
part ineivt of agriculture, Atlanta, Ga.
if tlie farmers of the state will respond, as I
believe they will, Georgia need not fear com
parison with any other state in the union.

Euitors Constitution : I read your article

???small farms, well prepared, highly'manured
and thoroughly cultivated,??? and I am much
gratified to learn that it lias been so practi
cally and successfully carried out by Major J.
F. Jones, of Troup county, Ga. It is to be
honed that what Major Jones has so success
fully demonstrated will have its effect on tlie
farmers of Georgia, and bring about a thor
ough reformation in the present system of
southern farming. Since the war southern
farming has met with no success, for the rea
son, too much land has been attempted to lie
cultivated, and lias resulted in failure, year
after year, to tlie farmers. What is to tlie in
terest of our farmers are small farms, diversi
fied crops, and make the farms self-sustaining,
for making all cotton and haying all our food
supplies, lias proven to be the ruin of our
farmers, and brought reproach upon our
'farming. 1 have pitffiieii' my 37tti crop, - and
never bought a bushel of corn or a pound of
meat, except when I moved and 1 (ought com
and meat to replace what I sold, buying gen
erally one-third of what I sold. Last week I
removed 500 bushels of old corn to make
room for my new crop; and all the farmers in
Georgia can make a full supply of provisions
and cotton sufficient to make them richer if
they would farm intelligently. Small farms,
well prepared, highly manured and thor
oughly cultivated???that lias been the success
with northern farming, and it will prove
equally successful with southern farming.
This scratching over a large farm and putting
it all in cotton and depending on tlie west for
all of our food supplies is ruinous to our
farms and farmers. The south will never
prosper under such a system of farming,
am glad to know that the exposition will
proven success and show to the world that we
nave a good country, abounding with mate
rial wealth of every description.

Ample space awaits tlie opening of the agri

says: ???We consider the issue of the manifesto
by the Irish land league as a direct incentivi
to civil war.???
Tlie Standard says: ???War to the knife

flinching on either side.
The Telegraph says: ???Nothing can he more
explicit than the determination of the land

The signatures to tlic land league manifesto
were not actually written by the prisoners,
hut virtually appended by their authority.
Special dispatch to The Constitution.
A Dublin correspondent of the Times say:
t is a settled determination of the league to
demonstrate that tlie land act is worthless
shown by the fact that the test cases they hav
selected are almost exclusively those in which
tlie rent is the same, and in many cases even
lower than Griffith???s valuation. It is not true
that Marquis Waterford has applied to the
land commissioners to have the rents of two
of his tenants raised. It is reported that the
Limerick police have received.a number of
warrants for tlie arrest of suspects.
Mr. Cobb, a leading member of the hoard
of guardians of Mountmettich, lias been ar
rested and a troop of lancers escorted him
to tlie Naas jail. At a meeting of the Carrick
branch of the league to-day 1,200 persons were
present. Two hundred tradesmen joined the
organization. A detachment of hussars with
sabres drawn paraded the streets and the
shops were closed. Mr. Goddard, member of
the Property Defense association, asked the
government for protection on account of
threatening mobs assembling outside of liis
house in Dublin. The house is now guarded
by tlie police.

CROWDS AND THE
EXHIBITS.
Macon, October 18.???Two thousand visitors on the
fair grounds to-day and every train brings crowds.
The exhibition full and handsome, embracing dis
plays from all i>arts. The stock display is the best
er seen at any previous fair, especially the run

Thursday all the merchants of Macon will close
their stores, colleges and schools will suspend and
make it Macon???s day.
Captain Bogardus, the champion shot, with his
two sons, gave an exhibition to-day.
An exciting race on tlie mile track attracted all
the visitors. The first running race, for a purse of
$250, was won by Monitor, best two in three. Time,
48)4 and 1:49. The trotting, best three in five, for
$200, was won by Charlie DerUn. Time, 2:44 on
last heat, closely contested with Bonnie Wilkes.
Pools are selling lively to-night for the races to
morrow. The oflicers of tlie executive committee
fully appreciate the kind interest taken by The
Constitution, and send thanks and assurances.
Every effort will will be made to carry the exhibits
the exposition. The weather is most propitious
and the citizens are enthusiastic over the success.
Macon, October 19.???-There was a large in
crease of tlie crowd to-day with prospects of a
tremendous gain to-morrow, as tlie circus will
draw all tlie country people. No additional
entries of any importance were made to-day,
but better order prevailed. Tlie large crowd
seemed delighted and satisfied, and the citi
zens generally are doing all in their
power to make their stay pleasant.
Tlic fair grounds are alive with people,
affording ample shade and retreat for visitors.
The races to-day were very exciting, and all
the horses did splendidly, with the exception
of Joe Bond???s horse, Lee, who came ent be
hind in every beat. Much money changed
hands on tlic result of the race.
The first race, trotting, best 3 in 5, $200, won

Howgate was committed to jail.
A cabinet session was held at Senator Jones's
house to-day.
The new cabinet appointments engross attention
here and speculation concerning them is rife, but
very little is known concerning them. The gen
eral impression is that the nominations will not be
sent to tne senate until Monday, and President
Arthur has intimated as much. It is said the re
publican senators are as much in the dark as any
body else in regard to the cabinet. There seems to
be no doubt that ex-Governor Morgan, of New
York, has been offered the treasury portfolio, and
that he once declined it. He has l>een urged by
many to reconsider his declination, but whether
he has actually done so yet or not, is not known
here outside the president and those in his imme
diate confidence. In the treasury department and
among its highest officials, it is believed, to-night,
that Morgan has consented and will be appointed.
Morgan is interested, however, in a firm that im
ports sugar, and he would be compelled to abandon
that. That Lincoln will remain in the cabinet is
generally conceded, but it is said that he will not
retain the war department. There is a report that
he will be made attorney general.
One of the present cabinet is authority for the
statement that GeneraM.ongstreet will be a mem
ber of the new cabinet. If he goes in, it will be ns
secretary of the navy. James will remain at the
head of the postoffice department for a time, at
least. General Grant arrived here this evening and
the secretary of the treasury, and destined for pla
ces in the republic of Mexico, may be entered at
the custom house and conveyed in transit through
the territory of the United States without
the payment of duties under suclr
regulations as the secretary of the treasury
may prescribe. In addition to tlie port of Broowns-
ville, Baltimore, Boston, New York, New Orleans
and Philadelphia are designated under the above
article as ports from which imported merchandise
may lie shipped in bond in transit through the
United States to Mexico by the routes prescribed
from time to time by the department. The circular
contains a detailed description of tlic forms which
are to be used in compliance with the regulations.
Since the 1st of July, more than $20,000,000 in bars
manufactured from foreign gold, have been trans
ported from the New York assay office to the Phila
delphia mint for coinage, which has nearly ex
hausted the appropriation for that purpose. As
there is now a large amount of gold in tlie the New
York assay office, and more arriving almost daily,
an additional appropriation will be necessary to
meet the cost of its transportation. Director of the
mint, Burchard, had to refuse to make the transfer
to-day on account of the lack of funds.
Pressing orders have been received at Woolwich
for wagons and a quantity of stores for the use of
the military encampment III Ireland, one-half to be
sent to Cork and the other half to Dublin, front
which points they will be distributed as required.
A jar containing powder was thrown into the house
of the manager of laird Erne's estates at Ballingait,
county Donegal. The fuse became detached and no
explosion occurred.

In races to-day the following is the result:
The first race, running, two mile dash, free
for all, $200, won by E. Beadslcc brg Manitou.
Time 3:47)4.
Second race, trotting, mile heats, best three
in five, $250, won by Bonnie Wilkes. Time
2:47 X A, 2:40)4 and 2:45 in last heat.
The fair lias been in session three days, and
long enough for the public to bring in a ver
dict of success. True the success is not so
great as it would have been were it not that
the exposition draws like a plaster, and many
of our farmers are holding their spare time,
as well as spare change, in reserve, so as to at
tend it, the Macon fair would have paid the
association a handsome return for its trouble
and pains.
Tlie crowds in attendance are well pleased
and express satisfaction. Tlie number of ex
hibitions are not large, hut are unus
ually attractive and large. The races
arc well attended with entries of fine stock
and the horsemen claim to have struck the
finest track in the entire south.
Coup???s circus gives an exhibition to-day in
side the grounds, charging only seventy-five
cents at tlie gate. The association will net a
good sum by this arrangement, as people
from all part3 of the country
will be -here. I can only give
brief mention of the most noticeable dis
plays. Each of the departments have repre
sentation, and present an attractive appea

The State agricultural fair authorities ex

of Giro's Hud Character.
AVasuington, October 21.???Tlie Christiancy
divorce case was before tlie chancellor to-day
on a motion to suspend the crftss-cxaniination
of Mrs.' Christiancy, in order to permit tlie
taking of the testimony of four witnesses
from abroad. In an aflidavitMrs. Christiancy
stated that tlie sessions had been adjourned in
opposition to her wish', and solely at the re
quest of counsel for her husband, and that
had they been allowed to proceed her exam
ination would ere this have been concluded.
Tlie chancellor granted the motion, ami di
rected that the testimony of thc witnesses from
a distance be taken before the cross-examina
tion of Mrs. Christiancy should be resumed.
At 2 o???clock tlie counsel for both sides met
at the office of tlie Examiner. Mr. Joseph J.
Barnaul, residing at No. 242 AVcst One Hun
dred and Fifteenth street, New York, and
engaged in establishing agencies for patent,
medicines and operating in mining stocks,
was called. He testified that Edil Giro was
introduced to him by Dr. Blood. Believing
Giro to be a gentleman, witness trusted and
confided in him, and, assuming that he wished
to get into business, he did ail that he could
to assist him. Giro had a desk in witness???
office, which was then at the .corner of Thir

cording to his own statement, been traveling
between South America and New York,
smuggling goods both ways. He spoke
of having come from Colon in the
same steamer with Mrs. Christiancy.
called her a beautiful woman, ex
tolled her in extravagant terms, and said he
was passionately fond of her. He told wit
ness that she had come home for the purpose
of procuring a divorce from her husband, and
that, after she succeeded, lie was going to
marry her if he could. Giro then showed to
witness a letter from Mrs. Christiancy, and
wrote a reply which he submitted to the wit
ness for correction, as lie could not write
English well. After that-Giro showed wit
ness all the letters lie wrote to Mrs. Christiancy,
as well as her replies. Giro complained, after
:t little while, that Mrs. Christiancy received
his attentions coldly, and he seemed nettled
by it. Her letters were not affectionate. She
only appealed to him to stand by her, to be
honest, and tp give to the world a true ac
count of the relations that had existed be
tween them. He hud told them that he
could help her, representing himself
as a man of large wealth,. and had
promised to assist her in procur
ing thc divorce which she sought. AVitness
liere read tlie letters that had been put in evi
dence at thc time of thc taking of Giro's
deposition, and which purjiorted to be letters
from Mrs. Christiancy to Giro, and testified
that they were not' the letters received by
Giro, which lie had seen. They were entirely
different in sentiment and expression. Giro
delivered to Dr. Blood all thc letters lie claim
ed to have received from Airs. Christiancy,
and witness saw them after they were in Dr.
Blood???s possession. He also identified a re
ceipt for them in Giro???s handwriting. After
Giro???s relations with Dr. Blood became un
friendly, he said lie did not care a about
the letters which he had given up, as lie had
a friend that could imitate any handwriting,
and that the latter could write for him
all the letters he wanted. AVhen Giro
became convinced that lie could not se
cure tlie affections of Mrs. Christiancy,
he became very angry and swore he would get
even with her, and said that lie had already
put up a job on her. AVitness asked him what
it was, and lie stated that lie had found a wo
man who resembled Airs. Christiancy in size,
figure and apperancc who would go with him
to this city, to one of the hotels, and that he
had taken sucli measures that tlie hack drivers
and porters of' the hotel would he led to be
lieve it was Airs. Christiancy. He boasted fre
quently that agents representing tlic husband
had solicited hint to testify against the wife,
and that he had even been offered as high as
$2,000 if he would do so. He testified that
Giro???s character for veracity was bad, and
that he would not believe him undo? oath.
On cross-examination, witness wa^asked his
reason for not trusting Giro, and in reply said
that there were several, one of which was his
villainous treatment of a variety actress in
New York with whom he lived as his wife;
furthermore, that he boasted of many of his
bad acts, such as setting tire to his photo
graph gallery in South America, when busi
ness was dull, burning it down and obtaining
a large insurance from an English company.
He also admitted being engaged in smuggling
between New York and South America, and
in tlie manufacture and circulation of coun
terfeit notes on thc bank of Lima, Peru.
The next witness to be called will be Dr.
Blood, of New York. The counsel for the
defense have here the woman who went to
the St. James hotel with Giro, and also a
witness who saw the couple on the train at
Jersey City en route for this city.
