UNION & RECORDER.
Milledgkyille, June 8, 1886.
It is generally thought that the
oat crop will be short. The Others it
is believed are doing well.
The Maxwell ease, in St. Louis, has
resulted in a verdict of murder. It
will stand as one of the celebrated
criminal eases of the world.
The Augusta Chronicle says “the
railroad will extend from Augusta to
Chattanooga.” It has all the facts
and we hope its declaration will be re
alized. ^
Mr. James Barrett is also a candidate
to represent the people of Richmond
county in the Legislature. Mr. Bar
rett is a clear-headed, strong minded
man andff elected will make a sound
and useful member of the Legisla-
ture.
The Democratic ticket in Richmond,
Fa., met with an overwhelming defeat
the municipal election recently.—
The Independents have a majority of
12 on joint ballot in the Board of Al
dermen. Petersburg went Democrat
ic.
The New York Sun is constrained
to say: “There are a good many clev
erer politicians than Grover Cleve
land, but few men know better than
he how to put in a veto where it will
do the most good.” The President is
not willing that the country should
be robbed because of any fear lie en
tertains of the “soldier vote.”
Home Rule Bill.—London, May
29.—It is authoritatively stated this
afternoon that Lord Hartington and N
his whig followers have resolved to
vote against the home rule bill when
it comes up for the second reading,
but that Chamberlain and his radical
supporters have made up’ their minds
to abstain from voting on that occa
sion, thus insuring the success of the
measure on its second reading.
Death of Hon. John Kelly.—For
many years Mr. John Kelly was a dis
tinguished leader in politics in the
city of New York, especially as the
Tammany chief. At one time he rep
resented New York in Congress. He
tilled various offices in New York such
as Sheriff and Comptroller. He was
a man of strong will ability and hon
esty. His health has been bad for
some time. Those who knew him
best admired him most. He died on
the 1st inst. in his GTtli year.
To Expel the Princes.—A bill has
passed the French chamber of Depu
ties to expel all members of families
who formerly reigned in France from
the country. The ground is taken
that while they were permitted to re
main under the belief that they would
respect the national institutions, they
have seized every opportunity to do
injury to the public. The House voted
for the bill and referred it to the bu
reaus. Mr. Basley's proposal to con
fiscate their property and endow
with it a home foraged and distressed
citizens was also referred. M. Guvot
introduced a resolution to separate
church and state. France is now a
successful Republic and wishes to
maintain it.
Dr. Woodrow.
The recent Presbyterian General
Assembly at Augusta, decided that
Dr. Woodrow, as an advocate of the
doctrine of Evolution, heid views re
pugnant to the word of God and to
the Presbyterian confession of faith.
Entertaining this opinion they recom
mend to the Synods of South Caroli
na. Georgia, Alabama, South Georgia
and Florida to dismiss Dr. Woodrow
from the Professorship which he
holds in the Seminary at Columbia,
South Carolina, and to appoint another
in his place and to take such other steps
as in their judgment will be best adapt
ed to restore the Seminary to the confi
dence of the church. If we are not
mistaken it has been charged against
Dr. Woodrow, that he advocated in
his lectures to the students the doc
trine of Evolution.
The vote in favor of his dismissal
was 65; against it, 27, some of these
dissentients, while agreeing with the
opinion of the majority, voted against
dismissal upon the ground that it was
unnecessary, and that the verdict is
from a court which does not have or
iginal jurisdiction. Some others vot
ed against the recommendation sim
ply upon the ground, that in their
opinion, the Geheral Assembly has no
authority to recommend Dr. Wood-
row’s dismissal. Some others without
giving their reasons for voting in the
negative, declare that they fully agree
with the majority in the opinion that
Dr. Woodrow should be dismissed
from his professorship in the Colum
bia Theological Seminary.
These parties constitute 13 of the
27 negative votes, and the inference
is a natural one that the other 14 en
tertain views similar to those of Dr.
Woodrow, that man was in some way
evoluted to his physical perfection.
Bank Officers Elected.
At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Milledgeville Banking Com
pany, on Wednesday last, the annual
election of officers was held. Mr. L.

The Mays Mansion Burned.—The
handsome residence of Major Samuel
Mays of Bel Air, Richmond county,
Avas struck by lightning on Sunday
evening the 30th of May. The report
states that the house was struck in
three places at the same time and
was soon enveloped in flames, so that
but a very small portion of its con
tents was saved. Mr. Mays and some
members of the family, who were
seated upon the piazza, did not feel
the shock, but Mrs. Mays and her son
Crawford, who were in another part
of the house, were so much stunned as
to fall to the floor, but happily neither
was seriously injured. The gentle
men assisted by Col. M. P. Carroll,
saved a portion of the elegant librarv
which comprised the valuable collec
tion of the late Governor Crawford
and some books which, belonged to
Wm. H. Crawford the great American
statesman as well as Mr. Mavs’ own
collection. The property was'insured
for $9,000. The familv was taken
charge of by Mr. and Mrs. Carrol and
other neighbors during the night
Hon. James G. Blaine recently
made a long speech at Portland,
Maine, on the subject of Irish Home
Rule. He favored the policy with
much ability, and his speech was
greatly applauded. Ah Americans
should applaud Home Rule. Indeed
it is an approach to our American
policy. Our states, Avhile united form
ing a* great national government, act
each one, for itself, upon the plan of
Home Rule. Georgia is represented
in congress for federal purposes, but
has her Governor, Legislature, and
county organizations, for Hometftule.
England professes to be a free coun
try under monarchical forms. Cana
da and other dependencies have home
rule, and it would be better for the
prosperity of that country if Scotland,
Wales and Ireland, had home rule.
The Welch, the Scotchmen and the
Irish can better comprehend their
interests than Westminster. Each
one should haA r e its own Parliament,
or Legislature, subject to the consti
tution of the realm. We believe the
English isle would contain a better
and more conservative population,
and one that would add greater
strength to the empire, if home rule
were adopted for its great depart
ments subject to the English constitu
tion.
The Southern Insurance Company.
Marriage of President Cleveland.
The President and Miss Frankie
Folsom were married Wednesday ev
ening at a little past 7 o’clock. It was
a very quiet affair, no show, no dem
onstration and no cards of invitation,
except a few written notes by the
President to a few close friends. This
was very disgusting to Washington
City butterflies of fashion, none of
whom were present. Only three or
four unmarried young ladies were on
hand, and but two unmarried gentle
men. The President and bride came
doAvn the steps unaccompanied by
any one—not even the brides’ mother,
Mrs Folsom being in the parlor with
other guests. As soon as Dr. Sunder
land finished the ceremony, the com
pany partook of luncheon, and while
thus engaged the bride slipped aAvay
to her room, changed her dress, the
President did the same thing and at 9
o’clock the two quietly took a close
carriage, were driven to the depot un
attended and a special train took
them to Deer Park, Md., where they
will spend a day or tAvo. By 10 o’clock
at night, all the guests had departed,
and the whole affair was over with.
A more quiet and sensible wedding
could not have been arranged by any
one.
Candidates.—We have given to
our readers the names of all the can
didates in Richmond county, that we
had seen announced for the Legisla
ture, but those that we have since
seen, namely, Mr. Calvin, and Mr. J
R. Lamar. They are all gentlemen of
capability. Richmond county will be
well represented, let the election re
suit as it may.

Home Rule.
No special change in the aspect of
this question. Mr. Gladstone is not
despondent, while lie is sustained by
able and good men of fine intellect
and firmness of purpose, the ameliora
ting prospectus in his aims in the
question of Home Rule, rests niainlv
on the strength of his virtues and tal
ents. He has shown many
thinkers in England, that hi/
is not a passionate and presumptuous
innovation, but belongs to that class
of legislative changes which emanci
pates and regenerates without dis
turbing the public safety and peace
He meets with great opposition from

Athens, Ga., June 1.—The annual
meeting of policyholders of the South
ern Mutual Fire Insurance company
Avas held yesterday. A very gratify
ing report of the business of the past
fiscal year was submitted, accompan
ied by the announcement of the lar
gest dividend in the history of the
com pany—73 per cent. Mayor R. K.
Reaves was elected a director to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Major J. W. Nicholson and Mr. C. G.
Dorsett was elected to fill a vacancy
at Savannah. The Southern Mutual
is doing much to save to the people of
Georgia the large premiums paid in
other states to foreign companies, and
its success should be a source of pride
to our people. The dividend of 73
per cent will reduce insurance so low
that any one taking out a policy has
hardly any money to pay out.
Messrs. P. M. Compton & Son, are
Agents for this admirable Company
in this city. We advise those who
wish to insure, to consult them.
Chicago, May 31.—A meeting with

headquarters last night. Dr. Ernst

Avas levied on the different “groups”,
Dr. Schmidt being made banker Avith

Loyd French, of Colesburg, A\ r as in

NeAvs office. His good-natured face
Avas enAvreatlied in smiles and “lie

er that nods and bends oil the breezes.”
Loyd has just received $5,000 as the
result of a $1 inA T estment in the April
drawing of The Louisiana State Lot
tery, and no wonder lie is happy. Mr.
French says he lias drawn several
small prizes in this lottery before, but
had not bought a ticket for several
years until January; since then he
has a dollar in each monthly drawing,
and the fourth time he hit it for an
eyen $5,000. The number of his ticket
was 11,545. Mr. French has a wife
and fiv r e children, and is a man in
moderate circumstances. The money
he lias drawn in the lottery will put
him square on his feet, and give him a
start in the world.—Elizabeth (Ky.)

THE ROYAL PERSONAGES MUST LEAVE
THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE.
Paris, June 1.—The Radicals and
the government late this evening
reached an understanding on the expul
sion of the French Princes. The
government promised the Bureaus of
the Chamber of Deputies having the
bills in charge, that the Count of Par
is and his Avife and children and Prin
ces Jerome and Victor Napoleon
should be expelled immediately after
the bill Avas passed. This Avas ac
cepted as satisfactory and effected a
reconciliation between the govern
ment and Radicals, Avho will now
vote for the Expulsion bill as intro
duced b}- the government.
The concession consists in naming
the families against whom the bill
would be enforced. At first the gov
ernment promised generally that if
the bill Avas passed the expulsions
would be made immediately. This
was considered by the Radicals eva
sive, but the naming of the very fam
ilies whom they ardently desire to
have expelled, and against whom all
their energies have been directed as
those to be at once exiled, is accepted
by the Radicals as a full equivalent
for their support. The passage of the
bill is considered certain.

of this city, action on a due bill for

ded against him, Avith exception of the
last, Avhich, under direct charge of the
judge, in accordance with a decision
of the supreme court last January,

ant was named Cunningham.
