Washington, July 30.—Senators Bayard and Pendleton are regarded as the democratic presidential aspirants in tlie senate. Al though they are rivals for the nomination of their party "fur the highest office in the gift of the people, they do not. appear to have any jealousy of each other. In fact, they seem to be the best of frit-n Is. Every afternoon they leave the senate chamber together and ride down Pennsylvania avenue to their homes in Pendleton’s basket body carriage. The basket body is painted yellow, which color becomes Pendleton's complexion better than it be comes Bayard’s. They never appear to be in earnest conversation. This fact is accounted for, perhaps, on the ground that their chief aim is to conceal their inmost thoughts from each other. Both senators are deservedly popular, but the impression which prevails among members of congress is that there is better presidential timber outside of the senate. A Woman Drowned in a Barret.

From the Indianapolis Journal. t In the presence of death, in the solemn pause that precedes and the religious hush that follows it, malice is disarmed, envy is shamed to silence and revenge is swallowed up in charity. The dead have no honorable enemies, and those ignoble enough to pursue them are powerless to harm.. Not that death hallows all, but death shrives alL Its ministration makes the hostile touch of any human hand a profanation, and to cry out against a pris oner in its solemn courts is grossest sacrilege. The grave draws au inviolable mantle of charity over all; its shadow softens every harsh line and strengthens every virtue. The world, relentless in its pursuit of the living, stops at the threchold of death, and, with uncovered head, pays reverence to the sovereign whose summons we all await, and hearing, heed. Against the living the world is often cruel and bitter and wrong. But for the dead, who, shrouded by that endless calm that settles on heart and lips and feet, can never break the silence to make reply, tnere is ever the kind liest charity. Thete was once a people descended from a com mon ancestry and loyal to one llag. But estrange ment came The interest of one section of the land clashed with the convictions of right held by the other. The bitterness engendered grew stronger, until it culminated in civil war, and bloodshed stained the annals of the nation. The barb- irfem of war aggravated every human passion, until the better instincts of humanity were well nigh ex polled. 'Jhe fortunes of war turned again;'the side of wrong, as we believe, and the victory that came to their opponents appeared to awake the keenest feelings of hatred in the hearts of the van quished. This was, perhaps, only human. With the return of peace, the passions of war were succeeded by the less vindictive rivalries in politics. 15ut even here- the contest at times was so close, and the feelings of partisans were wrought up to such a pitch, that nothing seemed ;oo base to resort to in order to achieve success. During the last presidential campaign no story of shame, how ever improbable, seemed to be too mean to be used. Charges without the shadow of a foundation in truth were made in the boldest and most confident manner. Audit was not strange that many, who did not know the inner cha-acter of the man, s.iould accep ast true the infamous slanders set afloat. The assassin’s pistol aroused the laud. This time there was noth ing of that vindictive hatred engendered by the war, and whi h was rife when the assassin of 1805 struck down the noblest man of his century. In this case the heart of the whole nation responded to the shock, as if the mortal wound had been uni versal. As the wear£ days slowly dragged .along, and the dying president evinced such heroic pa tience and fortitude, the sympathy of the American people of every shade of political belief went out to him in a way that challenged the sympathy of the world. When Garfield died, and the bells car ried the tidings throughout the night. there was not an honorable man any where who did not suffer in sympathy. Now another man Ues at death’s door. Lincoln and Garfield were northern men and republicans. This is a southern man and a democrat. As the former were representative men of their party, and hold in the profession of their views, so is the man now dying at Atlanta prominent among his fellows and noted for his.outspoken candor. Ben Hill, of Georgia, has always been an able, aggressive and consistent democrat. As such, he has brotteht down upon himself the antagonism oi the opposition, /•id, like all men prominent in pubBoJife, has suffered Attacks upon' hisV^irtTactdr/HVdlt' iftfari ofe- cial and to- a private eiiiz u. It is not our purp^.-e to rank Hill with Lincoln a.ol Garfichl, or to inti mate that he has sor\».d his couutiy to the same purpose. That would lx- mi inconsistency of which we will not bet guilty. Ben Hill living, was a democrat of democrats; B< :> Ilill dying, is a man am< i, r men. Ills: lic-ti-ic bearing dnrit gthe post few months, his < h/istio-1 fortitude in the imnvriu ■:r presence of death hfs won for him univo: -: 1 >en. In the prime •.«? life, when the future lo ;k<*d i tost inviting. »ie wassiri kcu by an incurable < j . II • doubt 1 .- - tcct^uiZi 1 the inevitable rt -ult when it fi.-.u deve.op «i But to spare pain to mints, he kept t*i • secret to himself until secrecy w s no longer possible. All this time —lor it has been several years sine** it b-gan—he has carried on his work with a vigor tb a mowed no Hoatemenc. Now »he end is near, life 'ays are few, but he is ready. Helms repeatedly declared that this is th«* happiest period of his existence. Confessing his human weakness and sins, he ex- pre’-ses his full preparation to go into the presence of the Great Judge. The world’s criticism of him as a politician is swallowed up in iG regard for him as a mail. In life's supremest moment he has proven himself heroic, and the sympathy for him and his is universal. This fee.ingis creditable to our mi lures. lie who does not respond to it in such jin hour, is to be commiserated. The only regret is tlxat this honest sympathy and charity for the dead ;*\d dying ure not oftener ex- teinb d to the living , bile the struggle is on. if the wt rid is evere n.d: 1 and fair in opinions if is toward the dead, ii we can condone their faults, which can never be recalled, how much better would it be to in Ip the living while they are yet able to do goodi n the world arid atone for what ever in their past lives has been amiss. Charity for the dead is a grand virtue, but the same charity extended to the living would be of infinite more service. This is eminently a practical world, and the sympathy and indorsement given to Lincoln and Garfield dead, would have been in valuable if extended to them while living. And the sympathy now felt for the dying senator iron Georgia would have been sweeter to him whi e in th vigor of manhood, and would doubtless have softened his antagonism against those who opposed him. In the years to come, when other Garfield* rti' l Hills shall come up to the halls of congress or before the people for election, if the lessons lea ned by the bedside of these who have met the last ene my so composedly shall result in a kindlier treat ment being extended to their followers, the deaths c i these men w ill not have been in vain.

Raymond, the Florences, and Robsou and Crane will follow them. “The Jersey Lily” will make her American debut on the oOth of October, supported by ait entire company brought with herfrom Eng- glaud. “In bringing her over,” says Abbey, “I pat on the American stage the prettiest women and the finest stage wardrobe that ever appeared before the footlights of any theater.** Abbey’s other theater, the Grand, will be opened on the 2811 of .August with “The Lights O’ London” at night and Clara Morris giving matinee j in the day time.

P T Barnum is back fiom Europe, and according to his own account of his visit, he created a great sensation in England as Jumbo does in this coun try. He says whenever he tcS>k a walk iu any of the large cities in England the small boys, headed by the boot blacks, would stone and scoff at him for having taken their pet Jutnbo from them. He also says that he attended a military t iiruaiuent in London, and sat within a few feet of the royal box, and that the nival family like to have craned their necks off looking at him. When the Royal Life Guards came in and gave their musical ride which resembled the grand entry to a good circus per formance, the prince of Wales noticed that Barnum was t cry much interested in their evolutions and sent him word that while Barnum had succeeded Jumbo from England de-plte the will *and'influence of himself, he notified him now that • he wotfld bieet with his^the prince’s) strongest op position if he attempted to bring the Royal Life Guard of England to America to figure in the grand | entries lT his circus. Another one of his tales is I that a London firm published his autobiography j and sold a half a million copies of it before he left. He further said that there were only two buildings iu Loudon large enough for his show. They were and Alexandria Palace, and as he mt either of them he commenced 1 /'•A a $100,000 building for liis circus in j proprietors of the Royal hotel en j building a circus right under their | ight $200,000 worth of animals and une. state law r making it a misdemeanor to selloleo- 'margarine, except when it was labeled as such, went into effect on the fird of the month, although there are eight large oleomargarine factories in the city, besides a large number of small manufactories down town doing a sort of private business-, there has beeu no arrests made up to date. Dr. SLine, who bas interested himself in the matter, has sent duplicates of this letter to the mayor and others in authority, but he claims they have taken no steps to punish the violate; s of this law Dr. W. De F. Goy, Sanitary Superiute d- ent—Dear Doctor: I beg to cal your Attention to a flagrant breach of ihe recent statute formed and passed expressly ior the prevention cf selling adulterated butter (or oleomargarine) «s pure fresh butter. There are several such factories in the lower part of the city in full blast every night, engaged in turning out large quantities of this vile compound, made of the lowest grade of impure and rancid fats. Next day it is packed in heavy tin boxes, labeled as pure Orange county butter, and forwarded to the summer hotels for innocent dupes to feast on during their vacatio i from the city. Oa yesterday evening 1 visited one of these places. I found eight men working with their dirty shoes on in a large pan containing sev eral hundred weight of this noxious and vile com pound. They worked with common shovels, such as are used iu making mortar, aiul were salting and coloring the compound under the direction and •taste of an overseer. 1 consider this an outrage, which should be quickly stopped, and will cordially co operate with any person whom you or die proper authorities may appoint to have it stopped ai.d the offenders punished, lours most respectfully, W. L. Siiink, M.D. This showing of Dr. Shine makes the “firat-clas; butter you find at second class restaurants” much more undatable than it was before. The hews comes from Washington that Conkling is the pewer behii tl the throne, that caused Au- thur to veto the river and harbor bill. Authur is a strony believer in tlie west, and consequently in the improvements of the Mississippi river as the great commercial artery that leads from the sea to the heat t of the we t, giving it life* and prosperity. Conkling has always opposed Mississippi river im provements on the ground that-the southern states, under cover of these bills, plundered the treasury >-t the exjJfhise of the northern taxpayers. At a roiiLicnce between the president and the ex-sena tor it mutual friend states that the president ar- gt.ed the necessity of coLCiliniing the western re publicans by giving them the patronage promised by their representatives in congress in passing the bi’l. Conkling urged that he v would make .me re in New York state, where he was weak on eecouutof his Albany campaign, by signing the veto/ than he would luge in the west by disappoint ing the friends of the Grill. Arthur Seemed set iu his purpose aud could not be persuaded, until 'conkling had nude an active canvass of his triends in congress and was enabled to give the president good assurances that the bill would be passed im- inertiately over his veto, and that his friends in the west would in any event get the benefits of the bill. With these lights before him, Arthur affixed his signature to the veto aud message that Conkling had prepared, not because he thought it was right, but as a diplomatic act, for the purposed regaining his prestige in New York state. The veto bore fruit beyond the most sanguine expectations of either Conkling or Arthur, and today Arthur is stronger than ever in New York. Nearly every paper in the state, irrespective of party or politics, indorses the message and veto of the president and censures iu unmeasured terms congress for overriding it. POINTS. Yesterday thirty Russian Jews returned to tlicir homes in Russia. Their excuse ior asking assistance to enable them to get home was that they were un used to manual labor and not capacitated for it; that they had rather put their lives in jeopardy mid be subjected to persecution than to work all day in the bniiling.suii on a farm; that they were satisfied that they < udangered their lives more by trying to do farm work under an American sun than they did by going home; of the two, they had rather be under the Russian knout than the sun of this country; they came to this country expecting to be employed in mercantile houses, not on farms. J. II. Ilaverly and J'. E. Abbey came over on the sarue ship with Thus Ju, the Chinese ambassador to this country, and his suite. Unbeing met in New Yoik by a dramatic critic anxious for news, they werj t sked, “Which of you brought over the troupe of Japs?” Fince November, 1881, two hundred unsafe build ings have been torn down by authority cf law. Twelve hundred have been condemned aud made safe. Princess Louise and Marquis of Lome are booked for New York next week. After making a short stay here, they go to Newport and Narragansett Pier. Buzz and Bounce. ATLANTA’S WEATHER. | • F13URES THAT SHO.W US THAT WE SHOULD KEEP COOL. Th© Coldest Day and th© Hottest Days - Th© Delight ful Breeze that ia Ever Blowing Here—Dog Days that do not Bring Us Oppressive Weather—Th© Official Statement. Tlie Hartford, Conn., Times prints an arti cle on the heat of that part of the ivorld which may prove interesting to the readers of The Constitution - , and as a line showing can he made by the comparison of tlie climate of North Georgia with that of Connecticut, it may serve to cool off any patriot who might show a disposition to find fault with Atlanh^ weather. The article is as follows: "The summer has reached that point at which the heat begins to show not only its quantity, but its quality. For there is a qual ity of heat which tells, on perspiring human ity, quite as much as the quantity; perhaps even more. It is more trying, certainly, and probably more dangerous, to be exposed long now to the full blaze of the sun, even when the shaded thermometer marks but Si de crees at the wai mest hour, than it was a motith ago with the mark at !>i degrees. Earth find air have become heated; the air from the ground is warmer than it was a month ago. The weather, though the mercury does not range so high as it did at the beginning of the month, has grown more like the sum mer weather of portions of the West ’ Indies. Our New England J uly and August often bring a good deal of that very kind. They never have, in most parts of Cuba and Hayti for example, any Hotter summer weather than some of our hottest days; nor are even the nights, oa most of the islands, so much warmer than ours at this season as many people seem to imagine. The most trying thing about their nights (aside from their insect plagues) is the fact that they keep just a few degrees too warm all night, and ior months together, and do not bring the cojl change, about dawn, which in our midsummer nights is so re freshing. From the restless sleep of such nights as they have iu summer, on most of those islands, one rises not much refreshed, and waits impatiently for that coolor hour of tlie daily sea wind from ihe east. So far as actual heat is concerned, we have, probably, us much of it here in u Connecticut July—ut least in the hours of daylight—as they have in Santo Domingo, or even in Forto Ilico, or Jamaica.” Now for the Atlanta tables. Below are pre sented tables showing the maximum temper atures since LST'.l, inclusive, the year in which the signal office was established here. The tables were copied from those in the cilice of Sergeant Hall, the only variation being that the fractions of a degree are not given. The temperature in 1879 ii shown in the following table: FOR THE YEAR 1S79. YELLOW FEVER. It. ProKrcM lu ISrown.viile and Along t he Klo I:r.'.ule Valley. Brownsville, Texas, August 5.—There are about flfiy cases of yellow fever now existing auil increas ing rapidly. Th.re was to-day one death, a Ger man named Quasi, recently from Europe.

Washington, August 5—An intelligent, well- dressed young Chinaman, Ah Kit by name, ap plied yesterday to Judge Wylie for papers of natu ralization. After a consideration of the Chinese bill as recently enacted, Judge Wylie to-day in formed Ah Kit that although he had lived long enough in this country the provisions of that bill absolutely forbade the nzturalizatiou of Chinese from the date of its passage. SENATOR HILO’S CONDITION. The week just ended marked no special change in Senator Hill's condition further than that he has slowly grown weaker. 1 esterday he was up but he cannot walk without assistance. He continues to sleep quietly at night. It is impossible to be lieve from .Mr. Hill’s condition that another Sun day will fintl him alive. £ i a 3 4 . id’ - 7: ,, (if Ifs *o2 46 -t oO .Slav «+-> v-» Ajtguss 4...

It will he seen from -the tables that at no time lias the temperature been higher than 99. The warmest day was in October, 18:0; tlie coldest day was in December of the same year, at, which'time the thermometer fell to zero. The present summer has been a most delightful one. At no time has the weather been oppressively, or even uncomfortably, warm. The summer resorts have been patronized only on account of a custom which takes people out of town during the summer and not on account of any lack of pleasant weath er at home. Atlanta is situated so that a breeze is always stirring, and generally there is a pretty stiii wind, which, in the suburbs, is so strong that on some days windows have to he put down in order to keep it out. Tlie nights are now, in the midst of dog days, so cool that no one would think of sleeping without one blanket or more Altogether, Atlanta may be congratulated. AN ENGAGEMENT WITH ARABI. between the Mahntoudieh canal and the Cairo railway, tiring upon the enemy’s position from three sides. "The engagement, which is of a serious nature, stiii continues^ Arabi I’asha sent 14 men with a white flag to tlie British camp this morning. The party was received by Major Pringle, but the interview was without result, 11:30 p.m.—The object of the-operations to-day was a reooilBoisance in force. Com mencing at 4 o'clock this afternoon, a steady advance was made, tho marines upon the railway line, the rifles upon the west hank of Mahntoudieh canal, and the Souths afford- snire regiment and the 1 mounted infantry upon the east bank. The enemy were driven in from ail their advanced posts and compelled to bring in to action all their troops available in front of their principal line of entrenchments at Kap- reV Dowar, namely, t about four battalions of ihtintry, a force of cavalry and several guns. The ialtar were completely silenced by the accurate fire of our 49-pounders. The Egy p tian iniaiuryjiekl thvir ground with consid erable steadiness. The marines at the rail way, who werewmder immediate command of General Allisoa, pushed the enemy back u l >0 n their second line of entrenchments toward Kaprel Dowar. The marines were supported by the South Staffordshire regi ment and the rifles. They suffered somewhat hut behaved with the greatest coolness and, steadiness under heavy lire. The object pf the British operations was to compel the eitpjuy to[ display what force and what guns they hart in front of the main position, and it was completely attained.. This wa; ao. er r mined by nightfall, when the British slowly and steadily withdrew'. No, accurate return of the killed and wounded is obtainable. The enemy’s lu: s is unknown. A large number, of wounded fell into, the hands ol .the British. Many dead were seen. A considera ble number of toe enemy Were made pris oners. A Tipsy Man’s Wealth. Driving a yoke of scrub steers, Jones was n center of attraction. It was about as much sis he could do to keep his seat on the wagon, as his visits to the grocery had been numer ous. “Reckon you think I’ve got nothin’,” said he to a small boy who had been eyeing him curiously. "Don't look like you had.” "Gol-darned if I ain’t got money though, if I am driving steers through town. I’ve got five teams, and my old woman can ride in a carriage if she wants to.” By this time Jones was half way across the street after the little boy, hut detecting Lite friendly glance of a passing stranger, lie pulled his flask out on him. The proffered kindness was declined. “Didn't 1 give it to that town chap,” said he. "J made fifty bales oi cotton fast year. I raised three hundred bushels of wheat.” “You are a model farmer then? ” "Just ask Clem Green or Aug Perkerson. it they don’t know me. If 1 mu driving steers I won’t he run on. I’ve got teams. I’ve got four hundred acres of land a'J paid for. I’ve got—hie—I’ve got $90,(too.” And the rest of the story was cut off by the gurgling of the contents of the flask down his throat.

Years ago he had tine flowing locks of hair, hut time has made a considera ble clearing on the his lute fastnesses of his massive head. .Sitting in his office during the long summer days, his -■ dozes wt re frequently interrupted by ilies seeking a rest upon tlie bald spot. The other day on reaching Ins office he carefully removed liis hat and sat down. It was not long before Sheriff Vt'ilson entered, and-with a Took of concern, said: “Mr. Harris, there is a spider on your head; don’t let it. run out to yoqr ears.” “It won't’ move fat^’ saidUnch- Jeems, “I’ve been pestered so tench \vith flies that I couldn’t rest.. 1 recollected that these nui sances will not go near a spidiir, r.o seeing a picture of a little spider in a pafier this morn ing I rut it out and pasted it mi the bald' place hr re.

During very hoi weather some people do not care whether the.price of beef is high or low. Sheeps heads ai.d pompano, sea bass, red snapper and salmon are now the fish in highest favor.
