The commission- erwssa little dashed by the plucky office holder and hesitated to remove her. Now, however, she will probably go. General Black intends to appoint to the vaoancy another lady, Mrs. Mulligan, the widow of a gallant union officer, This sppointment is likely to meet with some opposition, as General Morrison has a candi date for the place in General McClernand. In the recent fight for the collectorabip of inter nal revenue in the Springfield distrlctGeneral McClernand was urged upon President Cleve land by Colonel Morrison, Secretary Manning, and Mr. Tilden; but the president thought that as the office was the beet in Represents* live Springer’s district he should control the appointment.

PiTisrixi.il, Mass., August 18.—The details of the accident on tho Housetonic River rail road bridge, below this town, lest evening, are peculiarly distressing. Jamas Carney, Maty end Bridget Granger, end John Norton were returning homo from a fireman’s picnic, and had just passed on to tha bridge as tha engineer of the last up train had started to run bia engine across to the engine bouse beyond. Theeogi- nur felt tbe Jar aa b* struck tha quartet aad returned to the spot as soon as possible. Tba two men wen daad, but Mary Granger, with both legs cut oil above the kneel and her lett arm severed at tba elbow, was alive and con scious. She was taken to the Barbenk bouts.

By this time I was within e foot of the tnd ol the bridge, bat just ee I went to jump from between the nils the engine wheels caught my drees, aed I felt a numbness In my legs and arm.

Louis, August IS.—A letter It published here today dated Sunny B«nk,Uytie,Cheshire, England, July 2.1,2861, and signed Stm'l N, Brooke; in which the writer eaye hie eon, U. M. Brooke, lelt home laet January on a busi* ceil trip to Ireland, end that no word hae been received from him einca. It had bean learned, however, that ho had the curate of an adjoining pariah lor a companion, and that they had indulged in various extravagances, and that Brooks a name had got mixed up with the 8L Louis trunk tragedy, and also got mixed with that of Dr. Maxwell. The letter shows great distress on the part of the writer, who makes an urgent appeal for information m regard to the person concerned in the . murder. Part of this letter was shown to Maxwell, and he recognized the signature as tbst of his father and demanded possession of tbe letter. He said he would write to his father and tell him that he (Max well) wa» innocent of the murder ot Prellor, aud that be had a perfectly good defense. In the course of conversation Maxwell, or ss he is now pretty definitely identified, “Brook*, said that Prcller was troubled with insomnia, and that he had prescribed chloroform for him on sev eral cccesious, and with benefit. Prellor, however, bad heart disease, he said, and inti* mated that he bad either taken or was given an overdose on this occasion with fatal result. This will be Brooks's defense when his case comes to trial. ytAXWKLLTAKU IT ML BACK. Maxwell published a card this afternoon, denying that he baa given any reporter any outline or idea of his defense as published here this morning, and referred to it in a pre vious dispatch. Ho furthermore denies having acknowledged that his name is Brooks, and says that no matter what is published, he will not talk what hit case is or give any one any idea of what his defense will be. The letter previously referred to, signed Samuel N. Brooks, is genuine, however. It was received here by John D. Vincel, a high officer. Sr. Louts, August 21.—W. II. L. Maxwell, the alleged murderer of C. A.Preller,appeared before Acting Judge Fountleroy in the court of criminal correction today. He was not asked to plead, as Judge Fountleroy, who is temporarily filling Jndge Noonan's place la this court is one of Maxwell's counsel. The case was set for a preliminary hearing on Sep tember 2d. Loudon, August 20.—The national school master, at Hyde, near Birmingham, who has bees reported es the father ot Maxwell, tbe alleged murderer of Preller, being interviewed on the subject today, said he had a son named Hugh Mattrain Brooks, who was a solicitor. Ho resided in the United fUatoi. lie had formerly been articled to a firm in Stockport. Hugh Brooks is doubtless identical with Maxwell, the alleged murderer "ol Pro!lor, in St. Louis. He was formerly clork in tho office of Brown A Ainsworth, at Stockport. He passed nn examination and commenced tbe practice of law at Hyde. Ho mot with little success. In January lost he announced that he had an important law suit in Dublin, which required a preliminary visit to London and left Hyde, taking with him the tricycle and photograph apparatus belonging to Dr. Sidobothom, of Hyde, having evidently sold his own effects to pay creditors. Shortly, after Brooks's departure the curate of Hyde, vr^Li\imst «cfrimdo alio left down, and the two men were aeon together in Tarts, where they were giving photographic shows. A description givon ol Maxwell's ctYcminato manners and mincing walk exactly tallies with Hugh's style. It is noteworthy that Maxwell sold a tricycle in Boston, and”ihat tho number of the watch he sold to a joweler ol St. Louis agrees with tho number recordod in the books of the Hyde watchmaker, as that of the watch which ho had sold to Hugh Brooks. The portrait oi Maxwell, published in tho Washington paper,exactly resembles Brooks. Hush was about five feet six inches high, and bad a dark mustache and sauare chin with a supercilious air and a drawling voice. It is certain that Hugh and Preller became ac quainted in England and sailed for America together, and it is equally certain that Hugh was short of funds. The fact that Hugh dabbled in chemical experiments makes the chloroform story plau- •Jbio. Letter* reached Hydo which were date at 8t. Louis a couple ot days prior to writing one containing an Easter card, ad dressed to Hugh’s formor swostheart. The esae has aroussd much excitement at Hyde. London, August ID.—lb is stated that Max well, who is alleged to have murdered Preller, in St. Louis, is the son of a national school master at IIyde, near Manchoster. A FARMER'S WAYWARDSON.

Dempsey was obliged to follow tho runa way horse another milt before ha could cap ture it. When Dempsey returned to tbe spot where Le had overtaken tbe thief the latter was missing. Marks in the road showed that he bad not been abla to walk, but that he had dragged himself of! into tho woods. Dempsey was about to dismount and follow him when a pistol was fired from tho woods and a bullet whistled by Dempaey'i ear. The farmer had no pistol, and he whipped up hit horse and rede away, followed by another pistol ball, which pcased through hi* hat. Dempsey came to this Diace, and getting Officer Compton went back in search of the thief, who it was plain waa a desperate char acter. They entered the woods cautiously at thospet where Dempsy had been shot at. Two or three rods from the road, under a laurel huih, they found the man lying dead. He bad shot himself through the heart. The officer recognized in the person cf the dead horse thief a young 'man named William Barry, the wayward ton of George Barry, a rich farmer living in tha neighborhood. He had recently returned from two years’ absence, having been traveling a* . teamster with Barnum's and other circuses.

It ia truo that he ha. many cilia to address public meetings ol all Linds, to most or which bo reaponds, and never without profit and pleasure to hia ainll- IMS. Yet, compared to tho dally drudgery of Governor McHanieFt office, tbs life of Gov ernor ltobio is one ol comparative easo. A telephone in hl» bouts counseled with Port land, .nd alio th. executive department In th. canit.1 at Auguste, sixty mil. distant, en ables him to attend to conildarabla batlnoM without leaving boms. But it muit bo re- mrmbcrrd that while Governor McDaniel S ets $4,000 a year nnd an elagnnt residence, bvernor Itobl. has but$2,000 a year, and out of this h* has to pay hia hotel bills and other expense!. It la needless to say that tho governor ol Mama works for a (alary that does not pay his txpaniea. Being a rich man tho proient governor could (fiord to aerv. without salary. There it one feature of the Main, policy that 1 would Ilka to ace adopted, in a modi fied form, in Georgia. One of tba heaviaat of Governor McDaniel’s burdens ia tbs hearing ol appeals lor pardon, and taking final action thereon. It matters not that h. calls to hi. assistance the attorney general, th. last atop lo be tsksn be takes alone, and upon him only the interested parties throw all tbo responsi bility. Notso herein Main*. Th. governor ha. a council, end .11 case, of pudon eomo before this council, tbo governor presiding, and are d.cid.d in sueh a manner that no one per son la held responsible for tho raoiilt. Now, it would bo easy lor tha legislature of Georgia to create a “board of pardons,” tha governor be ing chairman, tn act upon all appeals lor ptr- dons. This would relieve th. gov.rnor of on. of th. heaviest of his burdens and the moet The •uggestion la come out of a (mail but neat dwelling with an armful of overcoats, which he throw into a hbXfFi already half full of such garments, and than returned to the house lor more. I learned that thes. costa are made here In largo quan tities for wholrsalo houses tn Portland and Boston, who sell them to southern clothing dealers. Now, there ora a dozen shop* in and around Gorham, where all kinds of clothing are made for tho southern market. And yet there Is no reason, It sooma to mo, why this work cannot be done In and arouod Atlanta. Hundreds of women and girls are making a comfortablo living here in theta clothing shops, or by Inking work to their own hornet. Why may not tho women and girls of Atlanta and vicinity hero tho benefit of tuoh an Industry. Certainly the raw mater ial ought to be as cheap in Atlanta os In Port land, and the price of labor ought to bo ohstp- or. But tbe north,with her grasping activity, appears to have x sort of monopoly ol this business, Ilka many other enterpriaea, and tho ■oulh does not, ao to apeak, “catch on” to tho ideaofiivingat homo—of homo production, homo manufacture. Why, only a day or two ago I walked ovar a Hold here from which a hay crop wax recently out, tnd was told that that bay waa to be baled and shipped to Savannah, Go., to be fad to Georgia borseo, cattle and mules. No wonder tho formera are tbrilty hero, when thoy can with comparative ease raise hay crops lor tbe south, and their wives and daughters employ their (pare time in making clothing for our people. I am aware that In Columbus, Ga., they ntvo had a clothing factory, on n small scale, that haa given employment to many worthy womon, •nd the finnan In that vicinity have raised large bay crops that havo been baled and •old lor use in other imUods of tho atato. But wo want a more general exhibition of this spirit ol enterprise, or yankee thrift as it is called, to put Georgia on x prosperous basis. Wo muit stop buying western corn and nortfl- orn hog tnd raise both at home. Thero la nothing around this beautiful and prosporoua town but hay forma, with fine, largo two- story houses and big barns, and yet every body tactile to bo well olT. Thera are but six Inmxtea of Iho poor houao, and a “glut” in tbo hay market nrver make* anybody foal blue. Of coureo then fanners ratio their homo supplies and grain. Atlasta THE GROWTH OP THE SOUTH.
