Albany, November 29.???Ed. A. Cutliff, a
son of our worthy townsman, Captain John
AI. Opt)iff, died last evening at bis father???s
house in this city, after a protracted illness of
typhoid fever. He was a young man of
promise, barely twenty-one yeaw of age, and
was one of a large family of brothers, all of
whom are well known and exceedingly popu
lar in this section. Notwithstanding his
yputii, lie had ltccn in business in Albany for
several years past, in which lie was thing well.
'Hie bereaved family have the sympathies of
our entire community ami of a wide
circle of acquaintance outside, to whom
the deceased was jiersnnally known.
The firm of Tison ??t Carter, of Lees
burg, faileil last week and made an assign
ment, making G. W. Warwick, of Sinith-
vdlc, assignee. We have not learned the full
extent of liabilities nor amount of assets, but
presume they are in the usual Georgia pro
portion. The firm did a large business in
Ia-eshurg, and had branch stores in Stoekville
and at Jordans Store, in Lee county. Up to
the time of the break it was apparently in a
prosperous and flourishing condition. The
senior of the firm was the late J. I???. Tison
formerly a senator from this, the Tenth, dis
trict, ami whose tragical death at the hands
of Mr. John Calloway, one or two
years since, will he remembered
The firm name has remained unchanged since
liis death, the business being carried on by
the junior partner, Carter. We do not know
who are the sufferers by this collapse. It is
rumored that one Albany firm xas caught
out for about $1,000. Have heard of no others
aliout here. We have not heard whether the
assignment will !>e allowed to stand. Under
the late act of September IK, 1881, it would
apt>cur that others besides the preferred cred
itors would be allowed a voice in all sucli
transactions in the future. Superior court
is in session this week in Mitchell county
Judge D. P. D. Warren presiding. Most of
the Albany bar are in attendance. Little
Gertrude Sterne, an interesting child of our
townsman, Levi Sterne, about fotir years of
age, died on Saturday night last o f riieuma
tism of the heart.
Albany, November 27.???From appearances
a large number are making preparations for
visit front Albany and vicinity to the exposi
tion, as soon as the special rates for this sec
tion go into effect, between the 5th and lltli
prox. Quite a number have gone already^
and are still leaving daily without waiting lor
the crowds on the special trains. All who
have made the trip bring hack glowing ac
counts of the show, and some are eagerly an
ticiputing a renewal of their experiences.
Tiie Albany artesian well, which on Thurs
day last had attained a depth of ISO feet met
with an accident by having the drill to break
oil white making 'its way through an extra
hard bed of (lint rock at that depth. Thisue
eident occasioned a suspension of tiie work
until the sunken piping could he removed
when the work of I siring was begun on an
other new well, located about two feet from
the first. Work on this latter is going on sat
isfactorily, and already some 50 or more feet
have been I wired. On Wednesday last
Messrs. J. A, J. S. Jones, merchants of Ca
milla, were arrested on a warrant charging
them with arson, in causing the disastrous
lire which burned up the greater portion of
the business part of Camilla, on the night of
the first of January bust . The warrant was
sued out at tiie instance of a detective, who
had been quietly at work oil the case for some
time. A court of inquiry, eonqiosed of three
magistrates, heard the case on Thursday last,
and after sitting and hearing testimony all
day and far into the night, discharged tiie
defendants. Solicitor-General Walters ap-
l>eared for the state. We did not hear who
represented the defendants, nor have we
heard any further particulars of the trial, or
grounds of suspicion. Tiie superior court for
Mitchell convenes to-morrow, when tiie grand
jury will .doubtless be charged with the case.
-On last Wednesday night, in Worth
county, near Warwick, a man named George
Ryal was shot and killed hy Warren Story, at.
the house of a man named Voting. It tli men
were from Worth, and were known as des-
{ lornte characters. The particulars, us pttb-
ished in the News and Advertiser this morn
ing, are, that a party of men had assembled
at Young???s house on that evening, and were
engaged in drinking, gambling, etc. Ryal
was soon overcome by his potations and laid
down by the fire to sleep off the effects. Late
ih'thc night a knock was heard at the door,
and in response to thequerry, ???Who???s there,???
a voice replied, ???Warren .Story,??? At this
Ryal sprang up, having lmd a previous diffi
culty with Story, ami as the latter entered,
after a preliminary remark, lie tired on him
without effect. Story then grasped a double-
barrel shot-gun loaded with buck shot and
fired on Ryal, shootnig him in tiie breast,
killing him instantly. ; yal is the man for
whom under the name of Win. Uyuls a reward
was offered some time ago hy the governor for
killing of a man in Dooly.

Bitkaeo, N. Y., November 28.???There wero fur
ther developments to-day, but only of a meager
and unsatisfactory character. In the mysterious
grave robbery case of November 15. A body was
exhumed, placed in a bag, hid under a clump of
bushes in the park, and au attempt was made to re
move it by three men, with a horse and buggy,
when they were fired upon by cemetery employes
aud escaped, leaving their conveyance and also the
body. The case was at first supposed to arise out of
religious differences,??? and that tiie body ex
humed, supposed to be that of Kdward U r Bum-
ham, formerly of Lancaster, twenty-eight years old.
was to be taken to another cemetery to satisfy his
friends. When it was found, however, that the
body was that of an old man evidently over Go
years of age, the ca>e assumed a new phase and was
thought to be a conspiracy to defraud life insurance
companies. The police have been working on the
matter very quietly. A few days after the develop
meets related lu the above Orin C. Thomas, resid
ing in Babcock street. East Buffalo, was arrested on
suspicion of being concerned in the case. Uo made
no admission, and his counsel succeeded in getting
him brought before the police court, when he was
discharged from custody. It was ascertained that
Burnham had occupied a part of the house of
Thomas, and the funeral took place from there. A
postmortem examination showed that the body was
full of strychnine aud that death must, in all prob
ability, have been caused-by poisoning.
'Mils morning about 6:30 Thomas was again ar
rested at bis residence by Detective Donovan, this
time on a charge of munler. About noon he was
taken before Police Justice King and arraigned on
a deposition made by the detective, which sets
forth he has good reason to believe murder has
been committed aud that Thomas is an accomplice
in the crime. The prisoner was ready for exami
nation but the prosecution were not, and he was
committed to jail until next Wednesday, when a
hearing will be had. lie is 2S years of age, son of
the late Horace Thomas, well known as a restau
rant and hotel keeper for many years. Whatever
else is know about the ease by the authorities
will not be divulged at this time. The
arrest, however, was warranted by facts in the
possession of the police, and will probably lead to
now and startling developments, which will be
awaited with interest. This poiut is undoubtedly
established: The body buried as that of Edward G.
Burnham was not bis but that of au uukuown man
who had been poisoned. The questions of the exact
motive for this substitution aud for the exhumation
of the corpse remain to be elucidated. Thu iden
tity of the dead man has not been discovered, while
Burnham is still missing, as well as one Parker, of
Lancaster, in this county, an undertaker, who is
believed to have been directly connected with thi
disinterment and attempt to steal the body. It is
promised that during the coming week all the facts
will be disclosed.

New Orleans. November 26.???-The Times pub-
lishos a statement that Dominique C. Efalo ASon,
of this city, received a communication from W. C.
Burchard, United States consul at Kuatan, which
lie foftranled to the department of state at Wash
ington. The communication gives an account of
the seizure of the schooner May Evelyn, belonging
to Efalo A Son, on the 8th instant, at the island of
Utila, by a band of Ilondurian soldiers, who made
Captain Anson a prisoner. A new master and a
crew of five were put aboard, and Anson was
placed under charge of a military officer and five
soldiers, and taken to sea on a vessel. Theagent of
Efalo 4 Son applied for permission to take ashore
the money and merchandise shipped to him by his
princiiHils, but the request was refused.
The schooner was brought to Kuatan and went
into port without her flag hoNted. The now com
mander declared be had received orders from the
commandant at Utila not to allow the American
flag to be hoisted. Anson was taken to jail and is
still confined there. The cause of the arrest is au
alleged informality in the schooner's manifest in
September. The vessel has been in Utila twice
since but was not molested.

bors before he went that he intended to come back
again when a man, and ???squa*> off' with his un
kind employer.
On Thanksgiving day a stalwart young man
callsd upon the farmer, and announced tnat he was
the identical ???orphan," and that he had come to
???square off' with him, which he proceeded todo in
the roost emphatic style, giving the man a sound
thrashing. Ilis wife came to the rescue, but the
young man also ???squared off' with her, and when
a big dog was set on him. he polished off'the dog too.
He theu announced that their accounts were all
"squared off," and he would reti-rn to his western
home, whence he had come expressly for the pur
pose of fulfilling his threat made when a boy, and
before a warrant could be issued for his arrest he
was many miles away.

THE TARIFF CONVENTION,
Georgia Men taking l*urt in the Proceedings.
New Yokk, November 20.???The second day???s ses
sion of the national tariff convention was called to
order at 10:30. The subject for discussion was the
tariff commission. The first speaker was John
Thompson, vice president of Chase National bank.
He said that under the influence of a protective
tariff the country had prospered beyond parallel,
and grown beyond precedent. He then persistent
ly asked the question ???why theu experiment with
free trade??? Free trade would lie said bankrupt
thousands of establishments, and throw millions
of dependent, deserving operatives out of employ
ment. This would bring witli it a panic, a de
struction of credits, in short a revolution which,
like the revolution of 1873. would cause depression
aud despaireverywhere. The good results of pro
tection are measured by our prosperity. The uad
results of free trade may possibly be measured
by bringing the product of European and
Asiatic labor in coin|>ctition with Ameri
can labor. Ai'ttr showing by statistics
the popularity of silver coin, .ur. Thompson recom
mended the removal of all restrictions on silver
coinage aud the making of silver dollars not only
for the United States but for all silver-using na
tions. Let us have a paper currency based on the
precious metals for domestic use and American
curreucy for the outside world. The sooner silver
and silver certificates constitute the major
part of our money the further off will be
panics aud revolutions. He also suggested
that the people have the privilege of taking green
backs from the treasury in exchange for interest
bearing bonds, the bonds to be given back on the
return of the greenbacks, the treasury saving the
interest.
The speaker recommended the appointment of a
tariff commission, to be composed of protectionists,
free traders and representatives of both political
parties, mid hoped that any changes made in the
existing laws would turn out to be mainly in the
rectifying of real mistakes and abuses.
The live minute rule for speeches was adopted.
John Jarrett, president of the association
of amalgamated iron and steel workers
representative was. however, allowed the privilege
of the floor for a longer period, in order that the
views of the workingmen on the tariff question
might be made known. Mr. Jarrett,in his remarks,
said he represented to-day, about 600,000 working
men, which, he said, was a solid phulaux of pro
tectionists. Fair wages made the workingmen pro
tectionists, and the reason that the English aud
other workingmen preferred to live in this
country. is not solely on aeeount , of
the lrigner wages paid, but also owing to the fact
that in America the workingman is recognized as a
man aud a freeman. The speaker was gratified to
??ec that the sentiment of the convention was favor
able to the workingman. The tariff was for the
protection oi capital as well as labor. He admon
ished the convention to keep the workingmen free
and untrammeled, and the country would
always prosper. He advocated the education
of the workingmen, and said that every means
should be adopted to encourage them to educate
their children. He has always contended that the
interests of labor and capital were identical. Col
onel So riven, of Georgia, as representative of the
rice industry, raid that the rice crop of lS60and
lSGlwas 11.600,000 pounds, and of 1880 and 1881,
17,766.000 pounds. Only 150,000 pounds of the Amer
ican crop were exported in the last vear. Thke
away the duty on foreign rice and it will
result in the same monopoly that brought seven
hundred million pounds of foreign rice into this
couutry-during the war. The average price of rice
iu the United 8tate is J, cents per pound. This
he considered was the result of the protective
tariff.
The general farming industry was treated by ex-
Goveruor Urinuell, of Iowa. In conclusion, Gov-
ernor Griunell ott'ered the following resolutions
which were adopted by a unanimous rising vote???
with cheers:
Ke.-olved. That the convention recognize, with
especial satisfaction, the awakening interest in ma
terial development In the southern section of our
common country, as evidenced by the International
cotton exposition now being held in Atlanta, Ga
and we pledge to our brethren ot that section onr
cordial support in maintaining for them that pro
tection to home industry under which the nortliem
states have so long prospered.
Resolved, That we invite men of evorv political
party and every section of the country to in vesti-
gate the question of protection to American indus
tries as a purely business question, and to judge it
by the results achieved during the existence of the
present tariff.
Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, was in the
chair and presided during the active debate of the
closing hours of the convention. -
The committee of the western agricultural asso
ciation, headed by Mr. Grinuell, will meet the cot
ton planters on Tuesday at Atlanta.
The following letter was read from M r. Blaine:
Department of state, Washington, November 28.
Mr. D. J. Houston. Chairman, etc.???My Dear Sir
My official duties prevent my leaving Washington
at this time. I am hence deprived of saving some
thing which I would be glad to say in voirr conven
tion if I had the opportunity to speak. In a brief
note of excuse I Cannot discuss the tariff or ship
ping question, and yet I will not omit an expres
sion of my belief that at no previous time in the
history of our country has the principle of pro
tection to American industrv been so strong
with the masses of the people as
to-day. It was formerly an issue somewhat
determined by latitude aud longitude, but those
limitations have passed away and enthusiastic pro
tectionists can now be found in Alabama as well as
Massachusetts, in Uliuois as well as in Pennsvlva-
nia. The west and south are joining the nortli and
east in common belief that some manufacturers
should be encouraged and developed iu every state
in the union. I wish I could speak with the same
confidence in regard to the prospects of American
shipping, but 1 confess to some discouragements
when I see the American minister to Brazil at this
moment en route to Rio Janeiro, compelled to
reach his post by going first to England or France
in order to avail himself of a line of steamers.
We are paying to Brazil annually more than $10,-
000.000 in gold twin to sell the balance of trade
against us. Brazil, in turn, sends this money to
Europe to pay for commodifies which we might at
his place, closely guarded by two policemen and the i
court officers. He was asked by Mr. Scoville to give
some incidents from liis earliest recollections of his
motner. He replied: ???Am X to be put ou as a regu
lar witness to-dav, or only to identify some letters?
1 supposed the latter. I am not feeliug at all well
to-day, but shall be much better iu the course of the
week"???
?? Mr. Scoville???I had arranged to examine you to-
dav, and there are no 6ther witnesses present.
Guitoau???You should have had your witnesses on
baud. 1 object to going on the stand when I am
iiot feeling well, to be subjected to cross examina
tion by counsel for prosecution. I have a good
deal to say. 1 want go over the whole bulness care
fully aud'scientiticaUy, so to speak, and I want to
be iii good talking condition.
Mr. Scoville???I shall only ask you some simple
questions.
(iuiteau???I am willing to answer provided the
prosecution will not take advantage ef my pres
ence on the stand to force me to state m.v entire
defense.
Judge Porser, of the prosecution, suggested that
the letters put in evidence yesterday be read.
After some discussion Judge Cox said that
if the witness went on the stand to
testify, he must submit to being cross-examined,
and if the examination was begun it could not be
suspended exceptjby consent of counse on the othc
side.
Uuiteau, nodding his head approvingly, ???that's
the rule judge,as 1 understand it.???
After further discussion Guiteau left the stand,
and Mr. Scoville read the letters. All were written
by Guiteau to his father and other members of his
family.
Mr. Scoville proceeded to read the letters passing
between Guiteau and his relatives from 1S57 to 1877
With the exception of strong religious feeling
shown in those from the Oneida community there
was nothing indicative of mental derangement in
them. When the reading was finished Mr. Scoville
proceeded with the examination of the prisoner,
who was at first very reluctant to answer questions,
but soon began to talk rapidly aud
gave a graphic, and at times amusing, sketch
of the incidents in his career. The most of these
facts have been already brought out in the testimony
taken. He bitterly denounced the Oneida commu
nity and reproached his father for having, as he
said, driven him iuto this vile and fanatical associa
tion,saying he was only kept there by fear of eter
nal damnation, if he left the community. Speak
ing of his fathei.he said he was a terrible eiank,
which he explained as meaning a badly insane
man. He gave a rather ludicrous description of bis
admission to the bar, and his peculiar mode of
forcing business, saying he had made $2,000 by
his first vear???s practice. Then he said, upon leav
ing Chicago came bad luck. He was incarcqjated
in the tombs in New York for a boarding debt, and
said it was the unhnppiest experience of his life.
He thought he would go crazy there, had
he not taken a bath for thirty
five days. Upon being released he went
to Chicago again. He here detailed his scheme for
buying the Inter-Ocean, and explained the failure
of the.plan, saying he lmd given valuable ideas
which had been taken advantage of by the propri
etors of that paper. He gave an account of his
lecturing experience, and of the ill reception of the
lecture bv the people generally, but insisted that
his book iiad forever settled the question of the
seoend coming of Christ. After telling of his ex
perience while beating his way to the east again,
and of several narrow escapes from imprisonment,
and other misfortunes, Gurteau said he was tired
and the court adjourned.
THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN.
Across the dull and brooding night
A giant flies with demon light,
And breath of wreathing smoke:
Around him whirls the reeling plain.
And with a dash of dim disduiu,
He cleaves the sundered rock.
In lonely swamps the low wind stirs
The belt of block???funeral firs,
That murmur to the sky,
Till, startled by his mad career,
They seem to keep a hush of fear
As if a god swept by.
Through many a dark, wild heart of heath
O???er booming bridges, where belieath
A mighty river brawls;
By ruin, remnants of the past,
By ivies trembling in tiie blast;
By singing waterfalls.
The slurab'rer on his silent bed
Turns to the light his lonely head,
Divested of its dream,
Long leagues of gloom are hurried o???er.
Through tunnel sheaths, with iron roar.
And shrill night rending scream.
Past huddling huts, past flying farms.
High furnace flames, whose crimson arms
Are grappling with the night,
lie tears along receding lauds.
To where the kingly city stands.
Wrapt in a robe of light.
Here, round each wide and gashing gate,
A crowd of eager faces wait,
And every smile is known,
We thank thee, O, thou Titan train,
That in the city once ttgain
We clasp our loved, our own.
