UNION & RECORDER.
ODR AUGUSTA LETTER.
THE WEDDING DAY FIXED.
MISS FOLSOM TO BECOME THE PRESI
DENT’S BRIBE ON JUNE 10.
Augusta, Ga., May 28th, 1886.
Editors Union Recorder:
Augusta is full of Presbyterian Min
isters. A remarkable fact is that most
of them are tall. One can see them
<ui the streets, a block or two in the
distance, towering far above the aver
age Augusta man. They are all well
dressed, and appear to be well fed.
As a rule, the Presbyterian preacher
is well provided for—comfortably
housed, kindly treated, and well paid.
This is right." No minister of God
.should be allowed to suffer for the
comforts of this life, while trying to
save the souls of his fellow men.
The General Assembly is composed
of the most intelligent men in the de
nomination. many of whom are ex
ceedingly handsome. Their meetings
have been held daily in the First Pres
byterian Church, which at times has
been crowded to its utmost capacity.
The debate on Evolution drew large
crowds. (Overtures had come up from
several Presbyteries begging for ‘‘de
liverance'’ upon this subject. These
overtures were referred to a special
committee, with Dr. Armstrong as
chairman. There were two reports.
The majority recommended the As
sembly to declare its adherence to the
belief that Adam and Eve were crea
ted, body and soul, by immediate act
of Almighty God, without any natu
ral animal parentage of any kind, out
of matter previously created of noth
ing.” The minority recommend that
the General Assembly should not
make a deliverance on the subject.
The discussion that followed lasted
the whole of Monday and most of
Wednesday, Tuesday being set aside
for the celebration of the Quarto Cen
tennial. Many able (?) speeches on the
subject of Evolution were made, and
the majority report was adopted by
an overwhelming vote. Put after all,
what has the Presbyterian Church
gained? What light has it thrown up
on this perplexing question? What
right has that, or any other church to
say that the creation of Adam and
Eve .were immediate acts, when the
Word of God is silent on the subject?
Suppose the theory of Evolution
can be established as a fact? How
would that alt**r man’s relations to
his Creator? The truth remains that
God breathed into man the breath of
life, and “he became a living soul'’.
Hi s accountability to God is the same
whether he was created by an imme
diate act or was evolved from an in
ferior grade of animals. P strikes me
that the Assembly wasted much of
their precious time in the discussion
of a useless subject.
An enthusiastic meeting of dele
gates irom the counties on the pro
posed line Of the Chattanooga Air
5dne Road was held in Augusta this
week. Earnest men met earnest men
face to face. For a time politics was
forgotten. Bacon and Gordon were
• not thought of. A railroad was want
ed, a railroad must be built, and so
the whole talk of the earnest men was
about this railroad. Practical speech
es were made, practical plans were
laid, and the delegates left Augusta
assured that in a few months the iron
horse will be snorting oyer the track
of the Chattanooga Air Line.
A daring robbery occurred at the
house of one of our citizens last Wed
nesday. The children of Mr. Geo. A.
Denning, one of our largest contrac
tors, were attending the Houghton
1 institute picnic at Schultz's Hill, S. C.
During the afternoon Mrs. Denning
locked up the house and walked to
her section in the city cemetery. On
her return she was surprised to find
every window open. On entering, a
hasty glance disclosed the fact that a’
thief had broken into the house dur
ing her absence and helped himself to
-whatever his fancy suggested. Six
medals, several breastpins, rings, and
jewelry of all kinds were missing.
That night while the family were
•grieving over their loss, a colored man
-by the name of Mattox called at the
.houseand returned all of the missing
•articles, save a gold ring. On being
'questioned lie said that his little son—-
eight years of age—had stolen the
jewelry and placed them in a hole
under a certain store in the vicinity.
The father's suspicion was aroused by
seeing a part of the stolen property
on bis son's person. He immediately
wrung a full confession from the boy,
-and lnul him locked up in the Guard
House for the night. (Sometime ago
this same boy stole a horse and bug
gy from Mr. James Bailey of tin’s city,
rsurely there is need of a Reformatory
Institution for Richmond County.
Measles are still prevailing all over
the city. In some instances it is a se
verer type than the common measles.
Some have been known to have this
disease twice during the present sea
son.
The different schools are making
preparations for their closing exercis
es. In most of the schools the linal
examinations last only three days.
At the Houghton Institute the exam
ination takes upj an entire "scholastic
• week. This institution is now prepar-
for a brilliant commencement.
Washington, May 26.—Dr. 1 ierie,
of New York, a brother-in-law of the
late Vice President Hendricks, called
at the White House on Saturday, and
was closeted with President Cleve
land a full half hour.
“It is a fact'’, he said when he final
ly emerged, “the president is to be
married. If he had not told me so, I
would know he is to be married any
how. I have been married more than
once, and can tell w T hen a man intends
to take a wife.”
“Did you ask him the question?
the reporter inquired.
“I did, and he said the marriage
was to take place on the 16th of June. 1
It is stated by a friend of the presi
dent that rooms for a number of the
Folsom family have been engaged at
the Carrolton hotel, in Baltimore,
from the 12tli to the l4tli proximo.
This is interpreted to mean that the
relatives of the bride-elect are to stop
in the monumental city, where they
will be joined by Mr. Cleveland, and
from there go to Buffalo, where the
wedding is to take place. On account
of the death of the grandfather the
wedding is to be in private.

plain
Washington, May 28.—President
Cleveland will be married at the White
House on Wednesday evening, June
2d. to Miss Francis Folsom.
The recent death of a relative of
Miss Folsom lias changed the original
plans for the wedding, and invitations
will now be limited to a few of near
relatives and members of the Cabinet
and their -wives.
Rev. Dr. Sunderland of the First
Presbyterian church of Washington
will officiate. The ceremony will be
followed by a collation. The
ding in all of its details will be
and unostentatious.
Miss Folsom arrived at New
from Europe kist night on tlie
werp steamer Nordland. Slie was
met at the steamer at quarantine
station by Col. Dan Lamont with a
revenue cutter and landed at one of
the up-town piers on the North river.
Her coming by an Antwerp steamer
was so little regarded as -within the
possibilities that only two of the New
{ York morning papers, and not any of
the telegraphic reporters, had the
news. The reporters generally were
watching British steamship liners.

cause all mystery is at last cleared |
away from this absorbing topic, and i
because the happy event is to occur ;
here instead of at the home of the
Folsoms, as has hitherto been re
ported. President Cleveland, accom
panied by Miss Cleveland, will go
over to New York Sunday night. On
Monday he will attend the decoration
day exercises. Tuesday morning the
presidential party will leave on an
early train for Washington. Miss i
Folsom, her mother and several other
relatives will come to Washington on
the same train. The Folsoms will be
the guests of Secretary Whitney un
til the wedding, which will occur at ,
8 o’clock Wednesday evening, at the i
white house. Only a few friends and
relatives, the members of the cabinet
and their families will be present at
the ceremony.
After the marriage there will be a
reception to congress, the diplomatic i
corps, army and navy officers and in
vited guests. The date originally set ,
was June 16th, but it was moved up i
two -weeks on account of the inces-1
sant gossip and the variety of com
ments which is said to have been
very annoying to both parties. This
will be the first wedding ever had in
the white house. It is thought per-
overalls. Engineer a little astonished
at the request but complies. Quiet
man puts them on, crawls under the
engine and, flat on his back, hammers
and tinkers for awhile, then he crawls
out. Engine moves off all right.

The Gubernaterial Convention will
consist of 350 delegates, or two for
each member of the House of Repre
sentatives. Six counties will have six
delegates eaclj^ twenty-six counties
will have four (relegates each, and the
other counties will each have two
delegates. It is more than likely that
the majority rule will be adopted.
The old two-thirds rule was about the
only thing killed by the split in
the convention of 18S0 and the subse
quent red hot scrub race bet ween Col
quitt and Norwood, and it will pro
bably stay dead for a long time.
Were the two-thirds rule to be adop
ted in the coming convention it would
be morally certain that neither Gor
don nor Bacon could be nominated.—

to get money wherewith to pay the

to buy as much cotton as he must
have, especially as it is clearly cheaper
to buy than to produce, and at once
lie is overwhelmed with confusion.
He cannot understand at all that the
capital he borrowed really bought
the cotton at a loss. Why could he
not incur the same obligation an
make other crops as well as cotton?
Other crops are dearer to buy than to
make, and cotton is dearer to make
than to buy. Therefore he makes
cotton at a loss to buy other crops at
a loss. But he engages to deliver so
many bales of cotton in consideration
of the credit he secures. Well, he
ought certainly to discharge ?his obli
gations faithfully, but it would be
cheaper to pay commissions than to
deliver cotton with a loss in it. The
factor would be satisfied.—Clem in the

Gordon was opposed to the appoint
ment of Senator Brown. There is a
strong effort, however, on the part of
Gen. Gordon’s friends to array Senator
Brown’s against Major Bacon’s friends.
Senator Brown has wisely declared
that this is not his fight. He has too
much good sense to make a gratuitous
rally to save a forlorn hope. Senator
Brown is a man who, however much
he may have been opposed when he
entered the United States Senate, has
proven himself to be vigilant, earnest,
practical and progressive in his duties.
He has never lost an opportunity to
work for his State or its people." He
has proven a sound and a sagacious
leader. He has loaned himself to no
visionary schemes and relies upon no
illusory fame. He is a man of busi
ness sense and judgment and is not so
much concerned in the spontaneous
