UNION & RECORDER. Milledgevillk, May is. 1886. Sympathy for the Irish. A large meeting was held in the Academy of Music, N. Y., on the 7rh instant, to express their sympathy with the Irish, and strengthen, per haps, tin* efforts of Mr. Gladstone to secure Home Rule, a£ a measure of re lief and justice for a people who have been so long oppressed by English Rule. The meeting prudently and very properly, declared they had met not as enemies of England, but as friends of Ireland. They placed themselves on the right ground, that which can make us feel for others, and'suffer, to some extent, when others suffer, though in no wise related to us than as our fellow creatures. This is true sympathy, a spell which binds one to another, often without reason farther than the mere existence of the con- troling feeling. This is the proper position to take, especially by men in high position in our country. It cre ates no ill feeling, produces no sense of resentment, and is kindly received and calculated to secure good results. Among those present at the meeting, and participating in its acts, were ex- V master James, F. A. Conkling, ex-Senator Fitzgerald, Mayor Grace, Gov. Abbott, Senator John Sherman, Congressmen Grosvenor, and Butter- worth of Ohio, Gen. Woolford, Gov. Hill and others. During our great civil war England was almost ready at one time to recognize the Confed erate States. These men expressed their sympathies with the Irish and their high regard for Mr. Parnell and the grand oldnlan Premier Gladstone, without bitter assaults upon.the Eng lish and their Government. They used no offensive language, charged no oppression or criminality upon them, and of course gave no offence. Such a meeting can do no harm if it can effect no good. But the probabil ity is it will do good, and aid the Irish in their just claims upon the British Government for a reform, that, in- stead of weakening the British Gov ernment will strengthen it by bind ing the Irish and English in bonds of closer friendship and alliance. Others besides Governor Hill made speeches of sympathy with the Irish without offensive remarks against the English or their government, and we do not doubt that the expressions <>f this, weighty New York meeting will be | followed by happy results. The Foreign War Cloud. The powers have sought to check the Greeks in their desire for war with Turkey; but the Greeks resist their efforts and are pushing troops to the nil, front.

His health is gradually becoming better. The Albany News proposes to sit on the fence and see the gubernatorial procession pass by. It does not pro pose “to eat crow after the Democ racy lias assembled in convention and chosen its standard bearer.” Grand Master Powderly’s circular to the Knights of Labor admonishes against boycott, unnecessary strikes, intemperance, and counsels steadfast adherance to the lawful and honest principals and purposes of the organ ization. Judge T. G. Lawson, of Putnam, has written a letter stating that he is not a candidate for Congress, or of any other office, and will not be. There is a report that Hon. H. T. Lewis, of Greene, will run, but it is not credited. The impression is that Mr. Reese will have no opposition to re-election. Mr. Davis will not attend the exer cises at Mobile for the benefit of the Semmes monumental fund, as expec ted. He is suffering with fever, and his physicians advise him to remain quiet for a while. The ex-president pays a glowing tribute to the memory of the commander of the “Alabama.” —Atlanta Constitution. The Gwinnett Herald says that George Brown, son of Mr. Gilbert Brown, went out in the woods, near his home, to try his pistol. He snap ped it to see if it would lire; as no re port came, he concluded to look down the barrel to see if it was loaded, and it was. Just as he got the barrel in range of bis eye, it fired, and the ball struck between the, right eye and nose, and glanced, coming out in the corner of his eye. The wound shocked him very much, and a gentle man passing along heard his groans and went to his relief. He was car ried home, and a physician sent for who dressed the wound. .General Gordon’s Appointments.

PARTICULARS OF THE BRUTAL MUR DER OF WILLIAM JOHNSON BY A RELIGIOUS CRANK. Macon Telegraph. Thomaston, May 13.—From a relia- I ble source I have the following par ticulars of the murder of Bud John son by Jim Cartwright, which occur red on the evening of the 11th inst., in the eastern part of Merriwether county, about oue mile from Hall’s bridge, on Flint river. It seems that William, alias Bud Johnson, and Jim Cartwright, both white, are small farmers, and live within a quarter of a mile of each other, and, as is known have been good friends. Monday evening Bud Johnson went to his home from his field to get some water. While there he sat down to rest, and took his little child in his arms, his wife also being in The yard. While fondling the child, Jim Cartwright came up to the gate and said: “Bud, you seem ro be resting well.” Bud replied; “No, I have been at work and am tired.” Cartwright then said: “Bud, come here; I want to see you.” Johnson got up with his child in his arms and started to Cartwright, and when he got near him Cartwright drew Ids pistol and shot him twice— once in the head and once through the heart. Johnson fell and as he was falling his wife ran up and caught the child. Johnson expired at once. Cartwright then said: “Mrs. John son, I have killed the best friend I* ever had. but God told me to do it.” Cartwright was arrested and is now i in custody. Farmers are very much discouraged by the effect of the dry weather on their crops. Stands of cotton are very poor, and spring oats are almost ruined. THC BEST-TONIC.

If there Is any foundation in the idea of Russia's ambition of conquests, in European or Asiatic ’Turkey, there is danger of ail extended war in which all the powers may engage. A contest be tween Greece and Turkey, with all the ports of Greece blockaded by the powers, would be a warlike trifle, but if ambitious Russia should take a hand in it, with a lust for more terri tory and power, all Europe may be put in motion to the music of drums and bugles, and military combinations formed, to be settled* only by the sword, the shotted gun, and thewide- spread shedding of blood. The Greeks are not madmen and fools, and it is possible there is a dark war-horse standing ready to back them with a heimeted rider. If there is any important difference in the political principles of Maj. Ba con and General Gordon we have not been made acquainted with the fact, hither of these gentlemen would make Georgia a good Governor, and the people should nor allow a bitter personal campaign to endanger the integrity of the democratic party. There is great danger, that in heated debates, primary elections and the possible adoption of the two-thirds rule by the nominating convention, that the people will become so far di vided that they will be unable to unite upon a candidate. The press and public speakers should use mod eration in writing and speaking "and the people should not allow them selves to get into a condition where they cannot cheerfully support the nominee. In ante helium times good and true men in whom the party had confidence were selected by a meeting called lor the purpose, and sent to the State convention to select a candidate for Governor. These delegates*w*ere not instructed, but left free to act accord ing to their judgment, for the best in terest of their State and party. When the convention assembled it laid down a platform, and then selected a can didate to represent the will of the people thus expressed. Then the of fice sought the man. Now* the peo ple choose between two or three avowed candidates. Some old fogies are unable to see that there is prog ress in good government in the new* methods. We are indebted to Senator A. H. Colquitt for a copy of his speech on 'Subsidy and Taxation', and to Sena tor Joseph E. Broxvn for his speech on The ‘Bill to Regulate Interstate Commerce.’ It is Macon, May 12.—At 9.30 a. m., to- daj*, the state Sunday school conven tion assembled at the Presby terian church, on Mulberry street. Rev. A. M. Wynn, of Macon, conduc ted the devotional exercises, which consisted in a service of prayer and praise, after which the convention w*as called to order by Mr. R. S. Rep- pard, of Savannah, president of the association. The address of welcome was then de livered by Dr. A. J. Battle, president of Mercer university, in liis happiest style. President Reppard’s response was a most interesting and entertaining talk. Mr. Reppard has long been identified with Sunday school work, and is distinguished for his zeal arid earnestness in bringing about organi zed labor in the vineyard of the Mas ter. Georgia is indebted, in a great measure, to liis unwearied efforts in this line, and his address to-day was full of words of wisdom and good coun sel. The appointment of committees on credentials, nominations and resolu tions w*as next in order. The reading of the minutes of the last convention was next in order, and w as follow ed by the report of the president. This report was full and complete and of a most cheering charac ter. The reports of the executive com mittee, the secretary and treasurer, and a number of special committees w*ere then read and approved. The convention then adjourned for din ner. At. 3 p. m., the convention reassem bled and after devotional exercises, the report of committee on credentials was heard. Then came the roll of district super- tendents, who reported the affairs of the associations under their judisdic- tion. There are twenty-nine districts, Covington and Macon Railroad. —The work on this road is progress ing rapidly, and the line will proba bly be opened by the first of August. The grading has been completed to W inifred, six miles this side of Monti- cello, and the road-bed is ready for the iron. The steel rails are arriving in Macon, and preparations for laying track have begun in earnest. Mr. Grant Wilkins, of this place, who has the contract for the bridge over the Ocmulgee, expects to have the false work in by the time the track is laid to the river, and the bridge ready by the time the water is sufficiently low to put in the piers and abutments. Chief Engineer Frobel spent the whole of last week on the upper portion of the line between Monticello and Cov ington, looking for the most favorable route across the Alcova. The branch road into Monticello has been survey ed, the site for the depot selected, and the work of construction will com mence at once. The people of Monti cello are jubilant, and nothing talked of taere but the railroad.—Atlanta Journal. The following is an extract from a tw*o column article published in the Selinsgrove, Pa., Tribune of Dec. 24th, 1887, on the completion and dedication of one of M. P. Moller's celebrated Pipe Organs. Selinsgrove Pa., Tribune of Decem ber 24 has a column about the dedica tion of the New* Moller Organ of which this is a part. Sunday, December 20th, 1885, w*ill be a day long to be remembered by the members of the Evan, Lutheran Church, of Selinsgrove, Pa. The Canvassing Committee visited Lewisburg, Milton, and Bloomsburg, and examined organs manufactured by three or four different parties, and upon their return home made a’ full report to the Committee. Two manufacturers sent their rep resentatives to this place, and presen ted the claims of superiority of their several instruments, besides tliiv, prop ositions were in the hands of the Com mittee from three other parties.

Three ministers’ speeches were then reported by speakers selected by county delegates, an^l these reports were received with a great deal of interest by the convention. The night session was opened by a service of song, led by J. W. Wallace, of Augusta. This was one of the most interesting and delightful features of the day, and a large congregation witnessed it. Judge W. R. Hammond, of Atlanta, then delivered a masterly address on “What are the Conditions of the Highest Success in Sunday School Life?” This question was discussed in a thorough manner by varrious speak ers in five minutes’ talks, after which the meeting adjourned. An Excellent Caterer Amply. Rewarded Mr. Leutz, a restaurant keeper at *No. 8 Williams Court for nineteen years past, and caterer for the well- known Sherman House in Court Square, was in no particular need of the money which he received for one dollar spent in one-fifth of ticket No. 25,244 in the April drawing of the Lou isiana State Lottery, but he will make good use of it.
