DROWNED AT DARIEN.
Bpccial Correspondence of The Constitution.
Darien, May 18.—Our little town 1ms been
very quiet and undisturbed until last night,
upon the arrival of our little passenger
steamer Sapclo, which plies between Darien
and ti landing on the route to Stirling, M.
and B. railroad. Kelt:ruing to Darien she
struck a snag, stove a hole in her bow hut
finally made Darien wharf. The captain
came ashore to look for some one to do the
repairs, before going very far he was hailed
and told the Sapelo was sinking, he returned
quickly and found her almost submerged,
He used every exertion to get her ashore,
before she sank. Suddenly he heard cries • for
help, which proved to he from his colored cn-
§ ineer, George Butledge, who had gone lin
er with the steamer. The captain made
every effort to save him, but could not, and
George was drowned. He was a very quiet,
good, hiirri-\vorking man, and we all regret his
loss. The steamer Sapelo will he raised to
day and put on the line ns soon as possible.

THE NEW MODERATOR.
Rev. R. K. Smoot, who lias just been elected

SpecialJCorrespondence of The Constitution.
•W ashington. May 18.—To say that congress
has been dull for a week would be to “draw it
mild.” The house has had a lot of written
speeches on the national bank bill of which
the pages and clerks have been the only usual
victims, while the senate has skimmed along
over the most trifling details of legislation.
Washington has had to thank the jockey club
for its only fun this week. The spring meet-
lias been very successful and has
caught a large majority of the
statesmen for amounts more
or less appalling. The senate did not give
more than two days to the distinguished
horses but many of the senators were on hand
every day and a quorum of the house cquld
have been easily summoned from the grand
stand. As a rule the western and southern
congressmen are the livest men at the races.
They go in for the best of the day; buy the
bestbiood in the pools; drink only champagne
and ride out in carriages instead of on the
ten cent train. They are the most promi
nent figure in the club house and over
the entire grounds peep out evidences that
the ruling spirit of the day is that extrava
gance and dash characteristic of the south
ern man. The president, like the prince of
Wales, wrnts to be known as “a good fellow,
you know.’’ He has lived in fast society since
fie left his preacher father. Last year * when
only vice-president he stood carelessly about
the crowd, jostled by jockeys, utterly demo
cratic in attitude and manner. This time
he confined himself to the verandah of
the club cottage in his faultless suit
of black, and several times I saw Senator
Matt Ransom, an excellent judge of horse
flesh, pointing out the various flyers to “his
excellency,” as Ben Brewster calls him.
Give the president a chance. Don’t pen
him up with a lot of cabinet officers and
a horde of hungry place hunters. Aftersucli a
continuous contact the society of a first-
class horse must be charming. Arthur's
presencejat the races calls to mind the fact
that he is the first president since Buchanan
who indulged in such amusement.
Grant was always famously free and
easy in his manners, but while president he
never attended a horse race even at Long
Branch. Buchanan was very fond of the
turf, as were Van Buren, Pierce and Tyler.
All of them went to races while in the presi
dential office. Good Mr. Hayes was never ac
cused of such worldly folly] and during his
four years’ effort at being presiden t entered
into no dissipation more exciting than weak
Roman punch.
, THE DEMOCRATS
of the house had a family talk
last night. They considered the
Mackey-Dibble contest and unanimously
agreed that they would demand a recommittal
of the papers iu the case. They do not pro
pose to settle it on evidence proven to have
jeen forged by Mackey himself. Some of the
liberal republicans are in favor of recommit
ting the case, but Calkins and his crowd will
try to walk rough shod over their opponents,
This cflort the democrats mean to resist by
every means in their power. Some lively
scenes are anticipated and a considerable
lengthening of the session will be one result
of the trouble.
In the caucus some of the safest leaders
warmly advocated the course that
was adopted. 1 hear that one of the best
speeches was made by Colonel Hammond,
who is recognized as tine of the strong arms
of t he democracy in the house. To-day he
succeeded in putting on an important amend
ment to the national bank bill. It provides
that any action brought by or against a na
tional hank shall be subject to the same juris
diction as if the bank involved were a state
bank, except when the other party to the
suit is a representative of the government.
As usual Mr. Holman had something better
to offer, but the house did not indorse his
opinion of his own views, and adopted the
Hammond amendment.
It is pleasant to be able to write of Atlanta’s
direct representative, that he has made him
self felt in Washington this winter, and isad-
mitted to be among the very strongest men in
the house. Senator Brown, on his return,
met with a reception of remarkable cordiality
from friends on both sides of the senate. He
is once un -re hard at work with his senatorial
duties. His health was evidently much im
proved by his rest in Georgia and he will be
able to go through thesessiou without further
inconvenince.

New York—For the past week the cottou market
has moving under a depressed feeiiing, which ap
pears to be the result of heavy speculations; and
while there seems to be no legitimate cause for any
immediate improvement, the condition of the mar
ket barely warrants any serious further decline.
The early months seem to be the object of the
greatest attention and fluctuations have been more
or less severe. To-day a moderate reaction took
place, which to some extent reversed ihe geueral
appearance of the market, prodticing a firmer tone
and a much better outlook. Notwithstanding the
decline In futures the spot market has undergone
no change, and a modeate decline is all that can be
noted. Middlings 12%.
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 15,939
bales, against 32.783 bales last week aud against
2,153bales for the corresponding week last year;
exports for the week 42,420 bales; same time last year
62,13-5 bales; stock 430,265 bales; same time last
year 53V915 bales.
During the past few days the local cotton market
has undergone no particular change. Holders con
tinue firm and are not ulspo etl to sell at present

the cotton market this week. Receipts for the

a decline ot 7-100<g9-100 with a slight reaction, but
the market closed weak.

SATURDAY MAY 20.
New York—There was a general reaction
in the cottou market to-day, which result
ed in a material decline in all
the future months. At the opening the market
ruled ,-teady, and during the early part of the day
verv little change was efl'ected. Before noon, how
ever, a weak line was developed, and the decline
that followed placed the mouths 10@;2 points
under opening quotations. At the elose the mar
ket rhowed considerable loss of strength, and its
general appearance indicates a further decline on
Monday. The speculative feeling was not
so brisk to-day and the market manifested a more
quiet feeling. Spots admit of no quotable change
and seem net to be much aitected by the position
of futures. Middling 12%.
