Efforts are being made to excite the population by stating that the khedive has turned Christian and sold the country to the English. Well informed per sons believe that if tha attempts of Dcrvisch Pasha at conciliation fail, Arabi Pasha will cut the telegraph connections, take hostages and openly defy the porte. Constantinople, June 7.—Lord Dufferin and the Marquis de Noailles, English and French ambassadors, have informed the porte that their governments do not consider that the mission of Dervisch Pasha to Egypt has rendered holding of the conference less nec essary.

The Times’ correspondent at Cairo, com menting on the current surmises as to the personal danger of the khedive; says: “Every day we hear of the disappearance of the humbler enemies of Arabi Pasha, and of atrocities which recall the inquisition.

Letters have been received here confirming the im port of his detection, and stating the iurtberfact that Horstman has been consigned to a dungeon at Muenster for a term of seven months.

On Friday at 1 o’clock a large number of our citizens gathered at the depot to meet Senator HilL Although this was the third time the crowd had gathered, and although an attempt was made to keep the crowd within limits for fear of exciting Mr. Hill—still the depot was packed, and the streets outside were filled on either side. A dispatch had been received stating that the senator was on the train. At precisely forty minutes past 1 the Ken nesaw train wheeled in sight. Policeman Porter getting on the track at the upper end of the depot pushed the tftowd back and cleared the way, shouting at the top of his voice. As the train rolled in the track was lined on either side. It was not known what sleeper Mr. Hill was in, and there was no rush for any particular car. The conductorof the second sleeper in response to a question from Mr. Edgar Thompson and Dr. Ridley said: “This is Mr. Hill’s car.” THE SENATOR’S APPEARANCE. Almost immediately the door of the sleep er opened and the tall form of Senator Hill emerged therefrom. He was entirely unsup ported, although his son, Ben Hill, Jr., fol lowed him closely. It is fair to say that Mr. Hill’s first appearance was a relief to his friends. None of them had seen him since the terrible third operation, and the reports received from him had led them to expect the worst. They were prepared to see qu emaciated-and tottering form. On the con trary, Mr. Hill appeared to be in almost his usual flesh, and his step was firm. He whs dressed neatly. Around his head was tiediu white strip wli ich covered the jaw, but left most of the face exposed. His lips were drawn closely together, and the left side Of his face was slightly drawn on account of the absorbent cotton with which bis mouth was filled. He stood for a moment on the plat form erect, and looked over the crowd. His eyes were clear, but tip?re was a drawn fixed looked in them that betokened weariness and E ain. He. suddenly raised his hand to his at, half-lifted it from his head as if to salute the crowd, then dropped his hand and caught the railing and began to descend the steps. AMONG HIS PEOPI.E ONCE MORE. As lie started down the steps a dozen hands were raised to assist him. “Never mind,” said Ben Hill, Jr; “he can make his own way. Just give him room!” “Make way for Mr. Hill,” cried Mr. Porter, and as if by magic the urgent crowd fell back. The senator descended the steps carefully, shook hands'with Dr. Ridley and Mr. Thomp son, and started to his carriage. His look was so fixed and his face so firmly set, evidently- in the effort to preserve his self-control, that it might have been thought he bad no sight for what wasabout him. However, after he had passed therepresentativeof ThkGnxaftttty»x. wiio was standing ut the ear steps, he turned, reached his arm back of Dr. Ridley, and catching ins baud pressed it warmly. .! • . By tins utue lie was- firVrfycrowd. Turning his head from one side to the other, with the same wearied and fixed look in his eves, lie quietly iifted his lmt and walked through the sea of faces. Instantly every head was uncovered. There was not a word spoken. The drop of a pin on the depot floor might have been beard. Tears coursed down many a man’s rough cheek, and many a stern mouth quivered. Through the crowd in per fect silence, the senator walked, stepping ac curately and steadily. He was accompanied by Dr. Ridley and followed by his son and Mrs. Hill. As he reached the carriage Captain W. J. Garrett stood holding the door opened. As be put out his hand the tears rolled down his face and he could not speak. They grasped hands and Mr. Hill entered the carriage. He took the back seats Dr. Ridley sat by him and Mrs. Hill took the front seat. Dr. Wright, who bas been with Mr. Hill from first to last, took the second carriage. “Go ahead, driver,” said Mr. , “and drive in a walk.all the way.” > ' i The carriage started. For a hundred yards it went through almost sdid masses of peo ple. There was no undue curiosity, no press- ng, no confusion. It was jnst simply a peo ple, standing in the shadow of a great sorrow —silent, sympathetic, profound. From first to last Mr. Hill never opened his lips. When he was fairly seated in his car riage, his face for the first time lost Us fixed look, the steadfast eyes closed, and raising'liis hand to his face, the senator brushed away the tears that had gathered in them. That’s all there was about it! But never since Atlanta was a forest was a grander trib ute of love, sympathy and conscience paid to any man. INCIDENTS Of tHE JOURNEY. “The journey from Eureka Springs is quite a serious undertaking for even a well man,” said Ben Hiil, Jr., “but father stood it much better than we thought lie possibly could.” It appears that Mr. Hid has never lost his spirits, while he understands thoroughly the gravity of his condition. At Seligman, the end of the wagon journey of twenty-six miles, which took over six hours, Mr. Hill turned bouyantly to a friend, who was also quite sick, and said: "Let's have a wrestle. I can throw you down for a hat. We are not in the cemetery yet by any means. I can beat Ben here, in a foot-race tot hat depot.” At another station, while the physician was preparing to help Mr. Hill from the cqy, the senator stepped out briskly and walked to wards the other train. “Why, our patient has left us,” said Dr. Wright, hurrying after him. The greatest kindness was shown to Mr. Hill all along tlie route, and the greatest interest felt in the distinguished invalid. At Dalton a large crowd of people came in the car to see Mr. Hill, and lie was very much affected and excited. Seeing this his son ordered the jiorter to keep the door closed at all succeeding stations. Mr. HiU heard this and said* “Xo, no! I am back in Georgia. Don't shut the door on anv Georgian. I am strong enough to see the people, and those who wish to come in here must be allowed to do so.” At Marietta Colonel P. W. Alexander, who was a classmate of Mr. Hill’s at the university of Georgia, came into the car to see him. Both he and Mr. Hill were very much affected it the meeting. Mr. Hill reached up, put his arms on Colonel Alexander's shoulders, and was completely overcome by bis emotion. MB. BILL’S CONDITION. Mr. Hill is much stronger than the people expected to see him. His son says that he is much stronger than he was when he went to Eureka. He left Eureka because he was una ble to drink enongh of the water for it to have any appreciable effect. It is quite hot and possibly unhealthy at Enreka in the of God, whether that will shall call me back to health or to death.” As for the wound itself the best opinion about it is as follows:.The side of the face is, cut open, and the sub-maxillary glands are taken out There is another incision in the chin. The jawbone extending clear to the chin is affected and must come out entirely before there can be relief from the,constant pain or a permanent cure. A piece of . the bone and two teeth have already come out- The vital question is, what is the cause at work on this bone. Some think it is .the re sult of injuries received daring the last ope ration. Others think it is necrosis or death of the bone. Others still that it is cancer. If it is the latter, it will seek other parts of the system after it finishes the bone, and recov ery is hopeless. It will strike a vital part, and then the end must come. On the other hand, if it is the result of injury or is necro sis. there is every reason to believe that he will recover. No one can tell what it is at present, and until this is decided the final re sult must be uncertain.- Mr. Hill can walk about and handle, him self very well. He cannot eat solid food, i)e- ing unable to chew, but eats beef chipped very fine. He has not lost much flesh. He does riot talk very plainly, as Iris tongrite in healing has adhered to the lower part of *the mouth and he cannot raise' it over Iris teeth. His mouth is usually kept full of absorbent cotton, and the doctors urge him to talk as little as possible. If it is necrosis that is at tacking his jaw, a secondary growth of bone' will’ follow the death Of the present bone, his tongue can be clipped and his speech entirely restored. Mr. Hill has made an unmistakable gain in strength in the past month, and in any event there will - likely be no decisive news from him in some considerable tini'e. There is a theory that has intelligent, sup port, and that is this: ThatMri Hill lias never had tancer at all—that, his jaw bone was dis eased, arid the inflammation from this source produced the sore on liis tongue. This theory gets confirmation from the fact that the bone is now coming out. A dentist in North Car olina wrote that he'. ' had many cases where the amalgam in a toptli, or rather the mercury in the ■amalgarii had poisoned the nerves iri the tooth, and finally the bone itself. Mr. Hill had several amalgam plugs in the'jaw that is affected. * The pieces of the bonC that have come out of the jaw will be submitted to the most careful examination. Of ‘ course ‘this is a mere theory, hut it has intelligent support All that'the public can do is to hope, for the best. MR. Jim. AT HOME, Mr. Hill expressed great joy ' at getting home once more, and. took a nap Friday afternoon that refreshed ,him very muen. Since this pieces of bone came out of bis jaw the incessant pain has been somewhat abated, and he is'more comfortable now than in weeks. Several persons called yesterday, but none of them tvere allowed to sec the senator. While Mr. Hill can receive friends who will call judiciously and not tax him more than a few moments, and while these calls may even cheer hini ljp. it will .injure him very ‘much to be excited into talking or is wearied. The senator is attended by Dr. Wright, a brilliant young Georgian, who was on duty at the hos- THE SOUTHERN STAPLE. CAUSES OF THE LOWERING OR THE GRADE OF COTTON.

New York, June S.—The board of managers of the New York cottpn exchange have re cently adopted a report relative to the waste in the staple. The report says: “When, as numerous complaints have been matje about the waste in the staple of -American cotton, more particularly of this year’sgrowth,'which has Led to th6 belief that in many instances it is caused by ginning at a high rate of speed, and cleaning seed too closely, thereby break ing the staple and - producing an excess of “fluffy,” or what is 1 known as reginned staple, thus ( ' Towering .its character and value, this exchange would most earnest ly call the attention of the planting interest as to the efforts to be made to cure it. It is quite manifest that lessening the|value of cot ton by imperfect handling i^s injurious to the interests of (he south. Some of the damage complained of is. traceable to -the imperfect^ condition of .the gins, the necessary repairs not being niade when they are required.. Farmers should understand that it is the staple of American,, . cotton that enables it' to ,be sold at a higher value than the product of India, and that SO,m\ich of the staple is dete riorated, it will be surety ,felt in ..the price.

It is said that cleaners were exhibited at tlie Atlanta cotton exposition that would remedy this grievance, and if it be true their adoption should become general. In conclu sion tlie planter should be reminded that more care ' shorild be given to paling, so as to avoid mixing the different qual ities in the same bale, which is the source of great annoyance at the mills.arid leads to reclamations against the sellers. CAPTURING THE HIGHWAYMEN. Brutal Harder In llllnoU—An Indium Shootli ' Affair. San Francisco, June 8.—A dispatch from San Bernardino, in this state, says that J. Taylor and J. A. Peterson, partners in the burning Moscow mine in this county, had a quarrel on the corner of C and Third streets here this morning about the method of .con ducting oi>erations in the mine. Taylor drew a.pistol and fired three shots at Peterson, all taking deadly effect He then fired, but without effect, at a by-stttiidsr who attempted to disarm him, attd running oft a few steps deliberately shot himself in the breast Pe terson died iri a few minutes, and Taylor is mortally wounded. Some mystery is attached to the affair, the men having been, up to the moment of the quarrel, apparently on the most friendly terms. St. Louis, June 8.—A dispatch from Cairo. Illinois, this morning, says J. W. Bayless, a farmer between 50 and GO years of age, living about three and a , half miles from Vienna, Illinois, on the Wabash railway, was mur dered. It seems that he had b;en sitting by a small lamp reading, when the assassins en tered his room, tied him to the chair in which he was sitting, then Vied liis hands behind him and his feet together. When found, bis feet were burned to a crisp by the lamp being held under them. They then split his head open with an ax, and searched the house. When through, they cut the bridle with which h« Was bound to the chair and shoved him Over on the floor, where he was found dead by neighbors. No clue to the assassins. Laramie, W- T., June 8.—At Rawlings last night, .William McCabe shot Ed Callason, who bad threatened bis life. McCabe is the government interpreter ip charge of the bands of the Shoshone Indians here, for sup plies. The excitement was intense all night. Lynching and possibly trouble from the In dians is feared. The act was the result of an old feud. The ball lodged in Collason's brain, and bis recovery is impossible. The law will probably justify the act on the ground of self defense. New York, June 8.—Five children, three S iris and two boys, sons and daughters of ohn Lockwood, of Coscpb, Connecticut, are reported to have been killed last evening while walking on the track of the New York and New Haven railroad, near that village. They heard the train approaching and crossed over to the adjoining track, when they were run over and crushed to death by the train, which came upon them from the opposite direction. COVERING THE CLERKS ALL DRESSED IN WHITE:' How Mia. 8cjb.lt Prepared tbe Funeral See.e Fer 1I« llaakud. * •? Chicago, June TO.—Casper Seybolt is a bnker who works at night. After he had left his home last evening, Iris wife began prepa rations for a horrible deed. The pair bad four children, aged respectively twelve, seven and two and a half years and a baby of tour months. She dressed, the four in' fresh white clothes, with bright ribbons, then gave them strvclinine, and as soon as they were dead laid them out carefully with flowers in their hands and all their surroundings made as beautiful ns' possible. Hnvirig put on a fresh and white chcriiise, decorated with ribbon, slier-took a dose of poison herself. This was just before her husband’s return at five o’clock this morning.

The cause of the woman’s act is unknown. It is concluded that she was demented. Chicago, June 10.—It appears that 1 Mr. and Mrs. Seybolt did not live in entire harmony; that since the birth of her lostchild Mrs. Sey bolt has not been in good bealtb, and it is believed that despondency caused her to com mit the deed From a number of not* s writ ten by their oldest daughter, aged twelve , years, it appears that Mrs. Seybolt bad talked the matter over -with her, and got her consent to'the terrible: trag edy.

J Whitfield county comes to tbe front with a curious case which demanded executive ac tion. In that county a man named A. P. Smith was indicted and convicted of gam bling, and was sentenced to pay a finie of $50 or serve 5% months on the cnam-gang. Tnero was an indictment for robbery against him and he was kept in jail six months. He was then tried and acquitted-of the charge of rob bery. but he had served out in jail more than the full term for which he had been sen tenced to work in., the chain-gang. Al though he had suffered enough tor the offense yet there ' was a technical dif ficulty in the way of his release. The judge had sentenced him to the ehain- gang and not to jail, and the power to change the penalty lay in the governor. The judge, under the law, was powerless to relieve him, and he was carried to the Marietta and North Georgia railroad to serve out his sen-- tence. Under these circumstances the- presiding judge made application .' to- the governor for a -pardon for him, and on yesterday the man was pardoned. It is a cu rious dase, but it appears that it is only the law which can be blamed. BACK TO MOTHER EARTH, The Burial ofGarlbaMt— 1 The Attendant Seeuee.
