Special Dispatch to The Constitution.
Washington, May 22.—In reply to ques
tions touching his relations to the coming
canvass for governor of Georgia, Mr. Stephens
has consented to the publication of the
following letter, mailed to-night:
National hotel, AVashington, D.
C.. 22d May, 1882.—Mr. Charles E.
Smith, AVashington, Ua.—Dear Mr. Smith:
Your letter of the 19th inst. is before me. I
reply to your inquiry about my position in
relation to the governorship of Georgia. I
can only say briefly that the reported inter
views with me on this subject as published
in Tint Atlanta Constitution are substanti
ally correct. In reply to letters from'all parts
of the state, and from men attached to all
political panic#, urging me to forego my inten
tion to retire from public life at the'close of
my present congressional term, and consent
to accept the office of governor, I have stated
that if nsy health coiumues as good a.- it has
been during the past winter, and if
nninistukahle evidences should be fur
nished me lhnt_ it is the will of
the people of Georgia that 1 should serve them
1 know of no reason that would justify me in
refusing so to do. Thus the matter rests at
present, so far as I am concerned. When
asked the question whether i would allow my
name to lie used in connection with thus
office, at the next election, against
the nomination of another per
son by the democratic state convention, to
assemble on the 19th of July next, my uni
form answer has been: “I would not.V This
action of the democratic party would with
mg, be the controlling evidence that it is not
the will of a majority of the
people of Georgia that I should serve them
as governor. To this conclusion I
should come, notwithstanding the numerous
letters I linve received from tuen of the great
est eminence in the state, and the many peti
tions embracing hundreds of people in differ-
ent counties to which I have referred, and the
recommendation of my name to be voted for
as governor by the people of Georgia, by the
highly respectable body of men who recently
assembled at Atlanta, and whose good
opinions and confidence I appreciate in no
small degree. 1 deem it proper in this con
nection to ndd that, while my political affilia
tion is entirely with the democracy on princi
ples and measures; and if in either it has
erred, such errors should be corrected within
rather than without its ranks, yet if I were
nominated by the democracy and elected gov-
f rnor Of Georgia by the people, I should not
? ft partisan governor, but should look to the
best fhicresiS and welfare of the state by pro
tecting the rigltfs Vi all classes of society
which should be the elite/ object of all gov-
rmhiont. The principles pcrpstUfttftf in the
mottoof the fraud old state, “Wisdom, jolti*?
and moderation,” would be the guide of my '
administration. Since writing the above
I have seen a telegram dated the 15th inst.
•from Atlanta, Ga., to the Chicago Tribune,
published in the Augusta Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist of the 20th inst.. staling that I
had telegraphed to the Atlanta convention of
independents that I would accept their nomi
nation for governor. It * is ut
terly . untrue that I ever sent
any such a telegram or authorized it being
sent by anybody. Yours,
Amcxandkr H. Stephens.

A REPORT ON ALASKA.
the attempted self-destruction of Miss Ella
AVinning, two yean his senior. Yesterday
they attended a German picnic, and towards
evening drove oft" together in a southerly di
rection. This morning the horse and buggy
were found at AVbiteland, eighteen miles dis
tant, and it was surmised that the romantic
idiots had hoarded the first train
with the view of elopement. About
noon to-day tlie mother of the girl
received a letter written by Hil-
genmeyer intimating that he contemplated
suicide, and requesting the disposition of his,
personal effects, as per instructions therein*
contained. Then she remembered that on
AVednesday her daughter had reported Hil-
genmeyer in a very despondent mood, and
that she had had difficulty in preventing him
from blowing out his brains in her presence.
Shortly before dusk, this evening, her daugh
ter returned home, and her personal appear
ance indicated that she bad been undergoing
severe experience of some sort. In an inco-,
lierent manner she told her people that she
bud attempted suicide with laudanum, and
that Hilgeniucyer was dead, after
which she -became partially insen
sible, and with difficulty was restored to con
sciousness. The story she then told bordered
upon the marvelous. For several days she
and Hilgenmeyer had discussed the feasibili
ty of self-destruction, and on yesterday they
purchased laudanum, and after attending tlie
picnic drove to tlie neighborhood of Green
wood, twelve miles distant, and when night
came they spread tlie carriage robe in a fence
corner, bade eacli other an eternel farewell,
divided the drug equally, swallowed their re
spective portions and went to sleep. Several
hours later they awoke, mutually surprised to
find each other alive, and botli were disap
pointed over the result. AVhen morning
came they walked to Greenwood, three miles
distant and purchased a double portion of
laudanum. Then returning to tlie woods
there was another farewell and re-attempt at
suicide. The drug nauseated her and failed
to take effect. AVith Hilgenmeyer it worked
differently, and after the remark, “Kiss me
good-by, darling,” lie expired with his head
resting upon her lap. After his death she
composed his limbs. Then she had an indis
tinct recollection of a wild desire to return
home. She started on foot, reaching here as
above stated.
Messengers were immediately dispatched to
find the body of Hilgenmeyer, but at a late
hour no report had been received.
The news of this peculiar affair quickly
spread throughout the city and created a pro
found sensation. Hilgenmeyer comes of a
good German family. The other party is a
daughter of a widow and but little known.
Their acquaintance began about three months
ago and speedily ripened into an attachment.
Hilgenmeyer’s friends report that his people
opposed the union, and for this reason he has
several times of late threatened suicide.
There is another version to the effect that
he wanted to rid himself of the girl, but was
foiled by her. Still again that another dam
sel had “him on the siring,” and was begin
ning to make life a burden. Some few scout
the whole story as told by the girl, and dis
believe the assertion that she attempted
suicide the second time. On the contrary,
finding that he had made a fool of himself,
they believe he left the country leaving the
girl to get home the best she could.

BOOKWALTER VS. THE &OOM.
Yulu.Mo Scientific AeeeUIUew to oar Knowledge of
That Territory,
Washington. May 24.—Mr. E. AV. Nelson,
who returned from Alaska a few months ago,
after remaining four and a half years in north
ern Alaska for the signal service, lias just
made a preliminary report of his work and of
his proposed publications. Mr. Nelson
secured an unbroken series of meteorological
observations, covering ihe time be was in
Alaska, and the report on this
will make part of the repor;
of tlie chief signal officer for 1881.
A more careful study, however, is to be made
of the data obtained, and of additional mat
ter, and a new paper prepared. Combined
with this will be a paper on several new points
of importance in the physical geography of
the region. Mr. Nelson traveled extensively
over parts of the count*-}- that had never be
fore been visited by travelers, and traced the
course of many heretofore unknown streams,
located lakes, bays and mountains that had
never been heard of, well enough at least to
givo future surveying parties guides that
they otherwise would not have had. Some
of tlie most interesting of the information
gathered by Mr. Nelson was obtained from
the Eskimo, an i relates to the ethnology of
the race. He brought back an extensive’and
complete series of specimens, among which
are about 9,000 implements and carvings, il
lustrating the inode of life of these people
and their handiwork. His notes of their cus
toms, the vocabularies, and his collection of
photographs are very interesting and impor
tant, and General Hnzcn proposes, if congress
can be induced to make the necessary appro
priation, to publish a series of valuable papers
on the discoveries, for which Mr. Nelson is
now preparing the manuscript. Tlie papers
will form a very important contribution to
ethnology, and will add an interesting chapter
to the history of Nortli American aborigines.
Mr. Nelson has about 3,500 ornithological
specimens, with full notes and sketches of lit
tle known water fowls. This material will be
used as a basis for an elaborate contribution
to tlie history of arctic and sub-arctic birds,
which will describe all tlie species known to
Alaska. It is proposed to accompany this
work with beautiful illustrations, which will
add materially to its value. . This part of tlie
work is very nearly completed. The manuscript
of the ornothology will be ready for the press
early in June. Another part of the work will
consist of a detailed account of the mammals
oi the territory, with special reference to their
distribution and abundance. Mr. Nelson has
brought back several hundred specimens and
has full field notes with which to illustrate
this comparatively unknown subject. Tlie
large number of fishes, and the notes upon
their numbers and distribution, will make tne

Cincinnati, May 22.—Ron. John AV. Bookwalter,
cx democratic candidate for governor, in an inter
view in the Enquirer, (ays. in answer to questions
as to the business prosperity cf the country: “As
a business man. I do not wish to be looked upon as
an alarmist, and being opposed to all stock specula
tion, I do not wish to be looked upon as a promul
gator of -bear’ sentiments; but frankness is always
best in dealing with business problems, aad having
given much study to our financial affairs, I do not
hesitate to give my convictions, leaving it to time
and results to vindicate my positions. In the first
place, there Is a popular belief, prevalent among all
classes, that the prosperity of our countrv is the re
sult of chance, and comes and goes in a mvstcrious
manner, being governed by influences which ihe
human mind cannot discern; whereas prosperity
panics and booms are the result of laws and causes
as infallible as those tliat govern the operations of
nature."
“Jf this be so, what has ended the ‘boom?’ ”
“To answer this correctly, let us first inquire the
causes that produced the boom. 1 hold as a pre
mise that all prosirf-rty in this country is based upon
the prosperity of the agricultural classes! When
tlie farmer prospers all branches of industrv are
stimulated. For six peats, beginning with 1875 a
series of events which may not happen again in a
century, combined to produce a prosperity unex
ampled in the history of any nation. First came
marvelous crops in this country: second, the crops
in Europe failed, and third, while our farmers se
cured tlie advantage ot cheap labor and
material, they sold la a ready market, at
the highest prices. Transportation of our
cereals gave a marvelous development to railroad
enterprises, so that in five years 16.000 miles or
nearly one-fifth of the railroad mileage in the
country, "has been added to our system. This
wonderful development sent stock up and led to
wild speculations. In adciti m to buying our grain
Europe invested in our st >cks, which promised
such rich returns. Tlie iron business responded to
tbe railroad development: the farmernot only paid
his debts with his wonderful crops, but he began to
buy luxuries. This is the boom, and business
‘wept onward in one grand tide, nnmindfnl and
ignorant of tlie fact that it could only be sustained
while the causes existed. Now only one cause has
failed to operate, aud we are already suffering."
"What is that?” 6
"Euroj-e has ceased to buy our grain because
they don't need it, and because it is too high-pric
ed. What is the result? There is no transporta
tion. »nd Ihe railroads are not earning tdividends
Stocks are down and the rates of interest are up
Men have already ceased to handle money to do
business, because it is not sale to proceed on a
money market with increasing rates.”
“But won’t good crops this year set tlie boom in
motion again ?' ’
“That question echoes the popular fallacy. How-
can a big crop bring prosperity unless we can find
a market? Europe has already learned to buy
cheaper grains in oilier markets. Her prospects for
a good crop are as bright as ours. Who, then, is
going to buy our grain ? If we can’t sell our crops
we can’t eat them, and our over-estimated industry
must come to u stand-still."
“Then what becomes of that wonderful ‘balance
of trade’ that John Sherman has claimed for five
years was the sole result of his financial policy?”
asked the reporter, aroused by the gentleman’s fer
vor and sQuud argument, and eager for more infor
mation
‘ It is already a myth, and events have proved
John Sherman an ignorant braggart and a vaporing
demagogue. 1 foresaw in December, owing to the
S rice of grain, that the balance of trade would soon
e against us, aad predicted the export of 550,000,000
of gold this year; $10,0(0.000 have been shipped in
four months! I saw by a head-line in the Enquirer
out a day or two since that the enormous amount
of §4,700,000 went out in a single dav from Sew
York. Why, at this fearful rate, what will the d raid
he at the end of the year? Formerly we sent wheat
If we weresendiogS4,700,090in wheat now instead
of gold it would take two of the largest vessels a
whole year to carry it, and give employment to our
railroads to carry it to the seaboard.”
“Then you don’t think resumption nnd John
Sherman made the boom?”
“Hardly!”
"DfiVi't you think, Mr. Bookwalter, that Vander
bilt and other wealthy men who are so largely in
terested in stocks will sustain the market?”
“No, sir. Forty Vanderbilts cannot sustain the
-rices of stocks in the face of natural causes. The
ailure of Vanderbilt to sustain Like Shore demon
strated this beyond a doubt. American railroad se-
■.urities received a 1 aid blow when Lake shore
tumbled eighteen points in a week. Foreign inves
tors reasoned that if a stock belonging to tiic- Vais-
derbil’s could prove so unstable, what might not
happen to otuers."
"You spokea moirent ago r.f the iron inte.esi.
That seems to be as prosperous as ever?"
“It may seem so to those whoare not familiar with
the business, but it is not so by any means, a year
ago the irou manufacturers announced that they
were crowded witn ordera for six months ahead.
For a year I have been buying iron for my works
by the month, and shall continue to do so. Itait-

quence ono of the best and largest ma-kets for iron
supplies has closed, in the last six mouths large
supplies of iron, in nil grades, have been accumu
lated at the furnaces and mills became it cauuot
find a market.”
“IIow long can they afford to continue tlie pro
duction without customers?'*
Tire reporter, not being an expert in the iron
business, answered tlie last question by asking an
other:
“Mr. Bookwalter, do yon expect a panic?”
“I don’t want to bo considered an alarmist, and,
therefore, will say no; but all wise business men
are getting ready for a strain, and are providing for
emergencies.”

His victim was discovered shortly after and

AFTER INFORMATION.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
“Can you tell me the direction to Court street?”
asked a tall, thin individual, walking up toa gen
tleman in front of the city hall.
“Right over there,” said the gentleman, pointing
to the Low building.
“Thank you,” said the tall party. “You are
quite sure that is the street?”
"Certainly. Eight over there,” and again the
gentleman pointed to the Low building.
“You have lived in this place a long time, I sup
pose?” said the tall party.
“Yes; some twenty years.” said the gentleman.
“Then there is not much danger of your being
mistaken in the street?”
“No, of course not,” said the gentleman, half
turning to move away. «
“No, I suppose not. By-the way, there is but one
Court street in sour city; you are sure of that?”
said the tall party.
‘ To be'sure; only one—over there. Come, I
can’t spend all da;- talking to von," said the gentle
man.
“There are no north, south, east or west Court
streets; you are quite sure?”
“That is the only Court street in the city, and
I’ve had about enough of your questioning,” said
the gentleman, making another attempt to get
away.
“See, here, wait a minute,” said the tall party.
“A’ou couldn’t tell me how long Court street is,
could you?”
“No.”
“About how many blocks make a mile on Court
street?” asked the tall party. s»»
“Don’t know,” said the gentleman, again turning
to leave.
“IIow do the numbers run?”
“What number do you want?” asked the gentle
man.
* Well, I don’t want any number on Court street
I’m just going to 400 Fulton street.”
“Well, what in thunder have you kept asking me
about Court street for?”
“Well, you see, I thought I’d just commence

wanted by regular, sure stages, as it were.”
“Where are you from?” asked the gentleman.

democrats who meet to-day will recommend Mr.

Since writing the above 1 have seen a telegram

cle and Constitutionalist of the 20th instant, stating
that I had telegraphed to the Atlauta convention of

The Contest for the Governorship—Opinion* of the
Chtarman of the Republican State Convention
From the New York Tribune.
J. E. Bryant, of Georgia, for several years chair
man of (lie republican committee of that state, was
in this city recently, and was called on by a Tri
bune report r. He was asked for his opinion in re
gard to tbe independent movement in Georgia.
“Yea, there is a strong anti-bourbon raovementin
Georgia, but Mr. Stephens is not one ot Its leaders,
if he is a candidate for governor he will bethe can
didate of the bourliou democracy, ’i here was. at
one lime, some doubt about his position, but that
question has been settled. The Atlanta Constitu
t ion of May 9th announced ’upon the most direct
authority, and with ihe fullest indorsement of its
reliability,’ that ‘Mr. Stephens is in the most
thorough accord with tbe organized democratic
party of Georgia—that he will accept its nomination
for governor, ami that in default of this he will not
be in the race for governor as the candidate of anv
faction or party.’ On May 10th, the Washington
correspondent of The Constitution telegraphed to
that paper: ‘Georgia democrats in Washington
fully understand that Mr. Stephens is, as The Con
stitution has declared, in perfect sympathy with
ihe democratic party of Georgia. A few days ago
he said to a friend that if he made the race for gov
ernor at all, he would make it as the representative
of the embodied democracy of the state. He has
never said anything contrary to this sentiment.”
“But did not Congressman Spe-r, of vour state,
recently telegraph - to Dr. Felton, at Atlanta, that
Mr .Stephens would not reject the recommendation
of the committee or independent democrats that he
be the people’s candidate for governor?”
“A'es: but he did not say that Mr. Stephens would
accept a nomination from the independent demo
crats, aud The Atlanta Constitution savs posi
tively aud by authority; that he will uot, but will
only accept the nomination of the organized demo
cratic ’.party. Mr. Stephens a few weeks ago
made known his determination to retire from
public life at 'ho expiration of the present
congress, but subscqueutlv changed his mind, be
cause. as he said, some of his friends believed that
certain troubles in the democratic partv of Georgia
are threatened, which lie might assist‘in averting,
and that some dissensions exist in that, partv which
he might help to heal: but ihat he would* not be
the candidate of any party but the democratic par
ty, to which his devotion seemsstrengtheuing as he
grows o ; der. Indeed, he mentioned, as one of the
highest considerations Inducing Dim to lay aside
bis resolution to retire from pui.lic life, the hope
that he may aid in preserving the strength and
unanimity of his party iu Georgia. Of course
under such circumstances neither the republi
cans nor the auli-bourbou democrats cau support
Mr. Stephens.”
"Whom will they support?”
“Probably General Lucius J. Gartrell, of Atlanta.
General Gartrell is a southern man bv birth. He
was a representative iu congress from" Georgia be
fore tlie war aud a general iu the confederate armv.
He is one of tlie shiest lawyer- in Ueorgia, a liber
al, honest. Christian gentleman: just such a man as
the republicans of the north delight to honor. He
has made known his determination to run as an in
dependent candidate for governor, aud in a talk
with a reporter of the Post-Appeal of Atlanta, said
that he fully approved of the platform of the auti-
bonrbon democrats. All republicans can support
this platform, and as the republicans of Georgia
who have kuown General Gartrell know him to be
»n honest man. they are willing to support him for
governor on such a platform. Seme of'lhe most in
fluential republican- in the state are now support
ing him. 1 he republicans will probably not nomi
nate a republican candidate for governor, but will
unite with the anti-bourbons under the lead of
