PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Go.Mr. meni for tbs Ful Fhi utd bikM flu,,
ffc.iion. Wb... Inprovimeot. Hi. b.
bid.. Our Tor.'ru BwuieM.
Tlie iDCmnge of PreHidont Cleveland to the
second eemioa of the 49th congress la a paper
exhibiting much merit and suggesting many
valuable topics of legislation.
.From it it is learned the fact that the foreign
relations of the government are friendly in
chnracter. The two leading points of dispnte
arcthc treatment of the Chinese in this conn*
try and the fisheries question. Tire Chinese
government is willing to ho a party to the
limitation of further emigration on the con
dition that the Anterican government protects
the Chinese now in this country. The settle
ment of tho fisheries question is rendered
problematic by the unfriendly disposition ot
the Canndiun authorities. Tlie president re
commends an amendment to tho extradition
laws, allowing the passage through the
United Htutes of criminals called for ]>y
third power; the improvement of the constr
iar service by better salaries; and the aboli
tion of the turifTon foreign works of art.
The simplification of the tariff laws la
deemed to lie a matter of importance. The
total receipts of tho government for the lost
fiscal year were fl3,7-l0,0‘J0.tW greater than
the year before, collected for ?150,000 less
titan was paid for the same service at tlie
same time. Tills speaks well for the econo
my of democratic administration. The
plus in tlio treasury Iras been Increased by
over £30,000,000. This great surplus leads
the president into an exhaustive argument
against the hoarding of the people's money
in the treasury,which indicates to people who
labor that men of wealth gain their ntfiuence
with ns little benefit to the public as does the
government. The nation should roly upon
its nnnnnl resources, nnd not upon cash
locked up ont of people’s reach. The sur
plus of receipts, tlio president says, should
be reduced hy such a revision of the tariff os
will free articles used by those who corn their
bread by iulxir, nnd In tills revision the rights
nnd interests of agriculturists should huve
the foremost place.
The further coinage of silver dollan is dis
couraged. Tlie president makes use of tlie
fluctuating values of silver to show that its
coinage hy (lie government does not enhance
its bullion value.
Tho president is of the opinion that great
improvement lias been mado daring tho past
year in tho postal service. Upon this sub
ject it may not lie ont of place to remark
that Atlanta, which last year got its New
York mail in tho middle of tho second day,
now has to wait until (ho morning of tho
thinl. If tho president will just whisper
this mutter to his postmaster general, he
will win the gratitude of The Constitu
tion.
Tlie pension qnestion comes np for con
sideration. The president is convinred that
pensions should lie granted only under gen
eral laws, which would operate alike upon
rich nnd poor, nml not ns at present, by
special enactment, which benefits only those
who have friends nnd influence.
Tlie Indians also claim a large share of
the president's attention, lie regards them
now as friendly to the government. Tlio
establishment of n iahor-bnrona is strongly
urged. Thirty-eight per cent of tho indebt
edness of tho fl-ceduian’s bank remains to
lie l>nid. Tliia, tlio president thinks, should,
n]s>n principles of equity, bo paid by tho
government.
Tlie president adheres to his lovo of civil
Service reform, lie sees in it good service
for the government which more than coun
terbalances tho irritation of anxious ofllco-
scekcrs. lie thinks that if the people ever
abandon the principle of civil service reform
they will abandon the surest guarantee of
the incrcM of American institutions.
On the whole the mesungo Is a practical
paper showing the atrong common sense of
the writer, and making a good record of demo-
cnlic administration.
Some of the salient points of the message
are thns given in the prmtdent'a own words:
In romplltnce with a resolution critic senate, I
communicated to that body on Auguil 2 hut, aud
•lao to tho house of repnoentatives, the correspon
dence In the cue of A K. Cutting, an American elt-
hten then Imprisoned In Mexioo, charged with the
rosumlsskw of a penal oOhiiso In Texas, of which a
Mexican cltisen was the otifeeL Alter a demand
had been made Ibr his release, the charges against
him wu amended so u to Include a violatlou of
Mexican law wllhlu Mexican territory. ThisJoin-
di r of alleged offenses, one within and the
other exterior, Induced mo to order
a sperlal Invcstlsatlon of the case

cident, has, however. dlwlosed a
claim of Jurisdiction hy Mexico novel

ted anywhere by a foreign or, penal In Hie plaea of

eel, may, If the oObnder ho found In Mexico, bo

can laws. Tills Jurisdiction w as austalucd by the
courts of Mexico In the Cutting ease and approved
by Ibe executive branch of lhal government upon
(he authority of a Mexican statute. Thcappetfaio
court. In releasing Mr. cutting, decided that the
abandonment of the complaint by the Mexican
rlttren angrleved by the alleged rrime (a hbeloua
l-ubllratlnn) removed the lands of further pmsecn-
list, aud also declared Justice to have ticensalUlled
hy the enforcement of a small part of tho .original
sentence. The admission of such a pretension
would I c attended with seriona results, invasive or

which It could be applied. We should then be
confronted with a vast quantity of money, the cir

treasury, w hen it should be In tbclr hands, or we
(should be drawn Into wasteful public extravagance
Bgaiiot our present scale of federal tsxal
wont phase I* the exaction of such a surplus
ihrouab a provision of the relation* between the
f«opIe and their government and a dangerous de

THE MARBLE INVESTIGATION.
Mr. G. P. Howell was put upon the stand and
waa examined by Mr. McLendon.
Mr. McLendon asked: "Were you in Atlanta
in the fall of 1884, and in the summer of 1885?' r
“I waa,” replied Mr. Howell.
“ Do you know of any efforts that were made
to bring about a change in the material which
waa to be used in tho construction of the cow
capitol?”
“The most that I know ahont It ws« that
James I*. Harrison was working it. I did not
know at tlio time that General Phillips hid
anything to do with it, except I heard of his
being connected with it. Mr. Harriron tamo
to our ofll c, and also sent Mucus A. Bell, with
pieces he wanted printed on tho subject. Bell
told me they were of public Interest, but af er
reading them through I told him they favored
a private enterprise, and ho would havo t
for them. Previous to that ti mo General
had printed an interview in Americas, stating
that there was an attempt by a lobby to set
aside the c-mtract made hy the corntnittioner*.
I had copied that interview and had comment
ed upon it. I did not know anything about
THE HUB-COMMITTEE
until the report was made to the legislature.
Not until the report was made did I know there
was a Hiib-romniitfec investigating the question
of a building stone.”
"Do you know of any other money Harrison
spent in his efforts to have tho contract
changed 7**
"1 do not.”
“Do you know whether or not he paid any
thing to PhiHij«?”
“Nothing except what I have heard.”
“Do you know whether or not Judgo Fain
or Senator Rankin had anything to do with
the effort* Mr. Harrison made?”
"1 never heard Judge Fain connected with
it until liteancr told me what ho did in my
office. Lankin w«* on tlie sub-committee. I
never bund anything derogatory to him. We
critidml the actiou of tho sub-committee—like
we would huve done any one—when wo
thought they were not doing right.**
Mr. Howell *aiu:
*T was iu the senate when tho convicts wore
f ranted to the road. 8o was Governor Me
lanie), and so was Judgo Reese. They opposed
the donation of tho convicts aud I favored it.
Ou the trip to which I refer we went to the ond
of the road and went on to Murphy, N. C. Mr.
Gager auil Mr. Glover were along. We all
agreed that *
THE ROAD WAS WELL BUILT.
I did not know what Governor McDaniel was
going to do. 1 had talked wiMi tho attorney gen-
c rul on the ronmutionality of tho question. Judgo
Rccfc liml, in conversation, approved of the set
tlement. 1 told Eager 1 thought he had compliod
as far us possible hy making a good road, but I
did not know anything about the terms of the
settlement. Wo got hack to Atlanta one day
and the next evening about 7 or8o’clock Ktgor
came to my house and told tno that Harri
son had filed the hill which is now pending
lie showed me a copy of the bill nrhl tho in-
iuuction that Judge Fain had granted.
Ho mid he felt worried about it;
that ho had complied with his part of tho con
tract aud be was satisfied that there wa* noth
ing in the constitutional questions urged, for the
attorney general had said nothing on that
point. He said that he felt liko he was going
to he worried eternally. He said in tho course!
of the conversation that Judge Brown was not
dlffitiuWIcd. 1 told him that if ho could show
that, then there was no case against him.
told him to go to Judge Brown and the judgo
WOULD STATE THE FACT*
to him. He went to see Judgo Brown, and
next day he brought mo tho affidavit of Judgo
Brown, which 1 rend, and said: 'Take that
affidavit and show it to Judgo Fain.* He went
off w ith it nnd 1 never saw him any moro until
he brought Biaancr.”
Ir. Harrison asked Mr. Howell:
Did 1 ever have nny conversation with you
in rrferenco to printing articles on Georgia
marble?”
1'fc know whether you did oi
yon noid for the articles Boll brought,
think 1 ever had but ono conversation with
you about marble in my life. After I
np] ointed a capitol commissioner, and after
tbiee ‘wicked articles* you speak of, a hoy
brought a note asking me to come to your office.
I did not go, nnd I got another note. I went.
You frtntid that you wanted mototakesomo
stock in your company, and I told you

as much stock ns I could pay for. You stated
that if 1 would take somo It would not cost rao
anything. I told you I didn’t want any stock
of that kind. I w ent out und went to my office
nul told Grady and Gmdy anid you had offered
him some nnd he w*ould not tako It.”
Mr. Harrison said he had several months ago
one into The Constitution office nnd offered
Jlr. Howell some of the “Atlanta marhlo”
stock, to be paid for iu advertising “or friendly
editorial comment.”
Mr. Harrison said;
“You replied: ‘Well, Harrison, I don’t know;
I will have to consult my company.* You
talked with Hemphill, and a few days after-
waid 1 went nnd found you ubsent and Hemp-
* 11 there, nnd he said you had declined.”
Mr. llowcll said: “That Is your statement,
and
it i§ not true.
I never had any conversation except the ono I
mentioned, ond vou never said anything about
advertising. When I got back from vour office
and Grady told mo you bad offored him somo
■trek. 1 told him then you were a thief, and
that is why I know I never had any such con-
vrrent in with you.”
Mr. Howell having concluded Mr. Harrison
asked | enni.-rion to make a persoual statement,
lie gave a lengthy account of
III* own HISTORY,

id lio thought Mr. Harrison w*as out of order.
Mr. Harrfron thereupon cat short his state
ment, merely adding that he desired Mr. How*
ell to prove hia charges und at the proper time
he would give attention to tho attacks made
upon hi nix'If.
Mr. Rankin then made his statement. Ho
said he preferred to be sworn, and tho oath was
administered by Mr. Hawkca.
l(o said ho thanked the committee for tho
opportunity of saying that the charges that he
bad received money or presents, were absolute
ly and unqualifiedly fulso. He said ho never

to the charge that he had received money at

where he was present. If he had been there
and had received money he would not have
forgotten it. He never saw Phillips divide

GEORGE T. JACKSON.
Augusta, Ga., Decomber 0.—[Special.]—
Major George T. Jaekron returned home tills after
noon from Old Town convict camp, where he has
been for the pnst few months, he having been sent
there for seven years, but pardoned by Governor
Gordon on Saturday. He was met nt the depot by
fully one hundred friends, who went to welcome
his return.
Your correspondent gleaned the following from a
gentleman on the scene at the camp. For about a
week past it was expected by Major Jackson and
all the officials nt the camp that ho tvould
bo pardoned, and of course a mes
sage from tho governor was awaited
with much anxiety. On Htmdny, at 12 o’clock, a
man on horseback was scon approaching the ramp
at rapid speed. When the horseman entered the
yard, on his foaming steed, all eyes were turned to-
wr.nl him, ifrid Captain Williams, superintendent at
the enmn, rushed out. received the telegram and
handed ft to Major Jackson, saying:
"Major, hero it Is. Open it for God’s sake. I want
to know all about It.”
Major Jackson Immediately done
to t>c what he ex pccted—a telegram announcing his
pardon. The officials, without a single exception,
were aflteted to tears, so great were their lovo and
esteem for hint, and nil In chorus said:
"Wc are glad you received |t, but so hato to
with you. wc don’t know how we shall got along
without you."
T he good news soon became public property
imp over, and every "trusty’’ came luand wfs
..lm joy. Shortly after tho telegram was recel
Captain William* ran lu the house, almost out of
breath, nnd exclaimed:
"Major, I knew some of your boys would be with
you. Here are two, now.”
1 hen Herbert nml John entered. The scene was
most touching. Both boy* ran to their father,
threw their arms nrouud his neck, and wept tours
° Major Jackson was greatly Moved by every ono
In cump. A short while ago. when your corre-
J CHt made a visit to that place, one of the offl-
raid to him: "Thing* have changed since
Major Jackron arrived here. There
Is no boisterous talking nml swearing hero
now as existed heretofore, and every one seems
happier than ever before."
Ill* sons spent the night at the camp, and early
thl* morning all arose. Captain Williams had his
team harnewed.nud hejiimselfdrove Major Jackson
to the depot at No. 10, Central railroad, having sent
u negro with nn nxo early In the morning to cut
away a fallen tree caused by the severe sleet storm
the previous night.
Rut the scene of all was witnessed nt tho depot,
headed man over seventy years of age, that
known him from Ills boyhood. Ono of them fall

He was then taken In ti
n, and quickly driven to nut
two miles from the city.
The scene at hit home, no pen can describe, for
no father was ever loved nnd respected moro, no
lint-band ever had a fonder or truer wife* no grand
father's neck was ever more tenderly encircled by
loving grandchildren that represent somo of the
mo»t beloved families throughout this state; no
brother was ever greeted with slncercr embrace
than was given him by his sistcr-iii-lnw, who left

she could greet him on hi* return. In fact, the
whole household wept tears of Joy at his return,
nml all are now dwelling in the realm of bliss.
Even the servant* nml old hands that formerly
worked in hi* Hour mill greeted him with tears of
r, and exclaimed:
‘Our good friend has returned.”
In my rounds through the city today I have
heard nothing but tho highest commendation of
Governor Gordon for his act, and the universal
K-ntiment, Is one of Joy and happiness, for no muu
was a more enterprising, patriotic citizen or truer
friend to old and young, male or female, white
or colored, than Major Jackson.
CONSTERNATION AMONO LEGISLATORS.
Consternation Mixed the laurcr part of tho
general assembly yesterday morning, nnd held it
with a grip as tenacious as that of a southwest
Georgia "tarrypin.”
Somebody went into tho house fifteen minutes
bcfoic it was called to order and announced in a
confidential but consequential manner:
"The engineer in charge of the capitol says the
roof Is unsafe. Thirteen feet of snow He* upon It,
and when the thaw begins it’s goodbye John to tho
old rookery.”
"Great Scott!” exclaimed a member IVom the
wire-gras* region—oue who had never seen snow
before—"let’s get out o’ here!”
Speaker Little was abend. Speaker pro.tom
Clay, of Cobb, called the house to order at 10
o'clock. One of the members offer© 1 an abarevlat-
ed prayer, and then the clerk called the roll. He
dla it so uulckly that it took him fifteen minutes to
catch his'breath, after he hod finished.
Every member looked at every other member, as
If to inquire: "Who will move to adjourn until the
spring time come*, gentle Anuic?”
Nobody moved.
Taking advantage of the "wait between tho acts,”
filtccn or twenty members, brave to the point of
desperation, got up and asked for leaves of absence.
The»e were granted unanimously and rapidly.'
This business finished, Mr. Schofield of Bibb,
an*e:
"Mr. Fpcakcr.” he said, "In view of the fket that
the engineer in charge .of the capitol has stated
that the roof I* unsafe by reavott of the heavy
