Republican side applauded his vitu
peration. Mr. Bayne was insulted
beyond expression by the temerity of
this man (the President) who had
sneered at the reports of committees
of this House and the Senate. This
man, himself no soldier, but walking
the paths of peace while these other
men imperiled their lives to save the
Union.
Some of the vetoed claims were so
grotesque that the President, in his
messages, could not refrain fro® pre
senting their ridiculous aspect, for in
stance this case. A soldier remained
in the army one month and seventeen
days having entered it as a substitute
at a time when high bounties were
Fifteen years after this bril-
Rain continues into July, an inch additional
to above, falling up to S a. in., of the 1st.
A wet month—total rain, 10.97 inch
es; mean temperature, 77.9. Highest
t*4 on 3rd. Lowest 64 on 5th, 12 days
in which rain fell. The normal rain
fall for June in South Atlantic States
is about 5 inches and it is not often
that we have a deficiency in this
month. June has supplied the defi
ciency of rain of February and April
and is similar to the June of '84. It
gives the farmers, and the very best
ones too, a hard tight with the grass.
The starting of the crops was so re
tarded by dry weather, the crops and
the grass had a good start together.
Tile showery weather of the month
interfered so with plowing, it was dif
ficult to get ahead of the grass and it
Will take some very hard work to put
the crops in anything like a normal
condition of cleanliness by July 15th.
All corn planted previous to May 25,
and that has been properly cultivated
promises a more than average yield.
The weather was favorable to the
starting of the potato crop, and field
peas are in promising condition at the
close ot the month. While some fields
of cotton are in good condition, much
the greater part of the crop is in a
worse condition at this date than it
has been in years, and some of it it will
be impossible to clean and w r ill have
to be abandoned. If our farmers de
voted more of tlieir lands to growing
hay. as a special crop, a wet June
would not be so much without its
compensation. As it is the farmers of
this section have cause for very long
faces on the first of July.

Midway, July 1, 1886.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, June 28, 1880.
With a nest of liillibusters in Con-
trressand the President cruising about
Chesapeake bay in the Corsair, some
patriotic citizens solicitously inquire,
“Whither are we drifting?” Scarcely
had it become known however, that
Mr. i ’leveland had been enticed from
his hard work of the past week, for a
little recreation, than he was again at
his desk refreshed for another round
ef executive vetoes of spurious pen
sion bills.
Some idea may be obtained of the
steady, hard work of the President
lately, when it is stated that on one
day he epproved eighty-eight pension
bills and vetoed thirty, giving each
case careful personal attention before
action. The veto messages were writ
ten by himself and each averaged over
a page of foolscap paper, closely writ
ten. In examining each bill separate
ly, lie had for his guidance the reports
from the Senate and House Commit
tees and the report from the Pension
Bureau.
The Treasury has never had so reli
able a watch-dog as President Cleve
land. Not only has he beaten the
record on vetoes, but he vetoed more
bills on one day alone than any previ
ous President had disapproved during
his entire term of office, His total
record is now about seventy-six, while
previous to bis accession the whole
number of vetoes from the founda
tion of the Government was only 109.
All but seven of Mr. Cleveland's ve
toes were of private pension bills,
before his Administration only one
pension bill had ever been disapprov
ed and that was by Gen. Grant.
The prospect of an early adjourn
ment of Congress has also received a
summary disapproval from the Presi
dent. He has notified the able legis
lative politicians who have been in
the habit of crowding through their
schemes during the last gasps of the
session, that he intends to read each
bill carefully and inform himself of
its provisions before he signs it.
He asserts that he will not go to
the Capitol and approve bills as fast
as they are brought to him for the
sake of expediting adjournment.
With regard to appropriation bills he
deems it as his duty to consider every
item, and he warns the members, of
the two Houses that they need not
send him long bills appropriating
large sums of money written a day or
two before adjournment with the idea
that he will approve them blindly.
With his feeling of responsibility he
declares that he can do nothing of
the kind.
While the Democrats are delighted
with Mr. Cleveland’s aggressive atti
tude with relation to pension bills,
the Republicans are frothing with in-
dmnation. Representative Bayne,
of Pa made a vicious attack upon
what he called the President’s unpar
alleled monopoly of power, and the
liant service he discovered that an at
tack of measles had had some relation
to his army enrollment, and that the
disease had “settled in his eyes.” An
other claiment asked a pension be
cause of the death of a son killed in
action. Being poor,; he sent his son
to live with an uncle and afterwards
with a stranger. The son was killed
in ’62 but the father did not know of
it until ’64. The President thought
after such an exhibition of abandon
ment and heartlessness on the part of
a father, he should not be allowed
any benefits of a patriotic son’s death.
The Republicans in the House of
Representatives are engaged in the
business of filibustering against the
introduction of a rule making it in or
der to provide an income tax for rais
ing the necessary revenue to any pen
sion bill. This is clearly and almost
confessedly done to catch the soldier
vote.
After a good deal of speech making
which changed no votes, Fitz John
Porter has again gotten safely
through the Senate, having passed
the house some months ago. Unless
President Cleveland interposes a veto,
Congress has at last, after twenty
years wrestling, finally disposed of
this question and Porter will be re
stored to the army and placed upon
the retired list.
OUR AUGUSTA LETTER.
To
Whom is Baldwin County Most
Indebted P
Editors Union & Recorder :
A week from to-day the good citi
zens of Baldwin county will express,
so far as a mass meeting will permit
of a free expression of the sentiment
of the whole county, their choice as
to the governorship for the next two
years. Our county is amongst the last
to act in the matter, and the result
here will probably have little or no
influence on the action of the conven
tion on the 28th. Her two votes will
be given for one or the other of the
two candidates that are now before
the people. There is no likelihood of
a heated contest. Our voters will
have settled their preference by that
date and will go quietly and (exerois-
ing their right as free and independ
ent citizens) express their convictions
at the polls. As is well known from
the very start in this campaign, Gen.
Gordon has asked for only a free and
untrammelled expression of the pref
erence of the people. He is willing to
abide the judgment of the people.
Sometime before it was positively
known that Gen. Gordon would ac
cede to the solicitations made to him
to become a candidate for Governor,
his opponent had been successful in
securing the support of many of our
influential citizens, through the me
dium of letters or personal appeals,
and this early start here, on his part,
appeared at one time to have settled
the question in his favor. Before
many of our people had had time to
think the matter over seriously, they
found themselves drifting along in a
current that had set towards Maj.
Bacon under a delusion that our coun
ty was more indebted to him than to
Gen. Gordon.
Gentlemen of Baldwin, in a moment
of eunui when you do not feel like
taxing the organs of reflection and re
viewing the incidents of history, you
may be led into assenting to this
proposition, but you cannot assent to
it when you come to a clear and criti
cal review of the events of Georgia
History, for the past quarter of a cen
tury. Come now and think. Take
just a half hour even and move along
as hurriedly as you please, the pano
ramic scene of State history for the
past twenty-five years. Watch closely
as it changes from peace and prosper
ity to bloody war and desolation, back
again to peace (and such a peace) and
days of reconstruction, the darkest
days in Georgia History. What fig
ure is it you see in every change of
the scene—amid the camion’s roar and
flash of steel and storm of bullets and
smoke, and blood of dead and dying
heroes? Here and there and every
where where duty called from ’61 to
'75, this figure will be seen contending
for the South, for Georgia, for Bald
win county. Who is it? Not that of
the man whose only claim upon the
county rests on a 20 minutes speech on
one or two occasions, favoring some
local measure—an effort made with
out danger or even fatigue! Can you
in reason make a preferred creditor of
him, and say that you are not indebt
ed as much to Gen. Gordon? You
cannot do it.
Baldwin county desires to do the
graceful thing in this Gubernatorial
contest and she can only do it by
sending Gordon delegates to the Con-
ve ntion. S . A . a

Editors Union-Recorder:
The legislative agony is over and,
as your correspondent predicted, the
race has been won by McCord, Calvin
and Lamar. The defeated candidates
made a good fight and received such
support as should make any man
proud. The result of the election is
as follows: McCord, 2063 votes; Cal
vin, 1865; Lamar, 1518; Fleming, 1315;
Barrett, 1051. Richmond County will
be well represented in the Legislature
by the gentlemen who received the
nomination of the Democratic party
yesterday. I have frequently referred
to the marked abilities and rare ac
complishments of Messrs. Calvin and
McCord, and predict for each a most
brilliant record in the next House.
Mr. Lamar is not so well known in
the State as either of the gentlemen
above named, but will make an enviaj
ble reputation for himself before the
close of the next session. He is of a quiet
disposition, but has a strong mine!, of
an exceedingly logical turn. He goes
down to the root of matters and liis
analysis of any subject is strictly ac
curate. He will no doubt make an ac
tive and useful member of the Judici
ary Committee. Fleming and Barrett
can afford to gracefully bow to the will
of the people, having received such
complimentary votes, and await the
honors that will doubtless be bestow
ed upon them in the near future.
Capt. Barrett published a card in
last Sunday’s Chronicle denying that
he was opposed to public education.
The fact that he signed a petition to
test the legality of the Public School
Act for Richmond County led many
to suppose that he was unfriendly to
the system. I am glad to know that
the Captain has set himself right on
this subject. Mv informant must have
misunderstood his position. The suc
cessful candidates were serenaded last
night, and each responded in a patri
otic speech. Hon. W. E. Keener,
Judge Eve, P. J. Sullivan and others,
also addressed the crowd.
The annual Examinations of the
Houghton Institute closed this day at
2:30 p. in., in the presence of a large
number of visitors. The classes in
Physical Geography, Chemistry, Lat-
i*, and French completely captivated
the audience. At the close of the ex
ercises the students were addressed by
Mr. Thos. R. Gibson, City Editor of
the Evening News, Hon. M. M. Hill,
Member of Council, Mr. S. H. Cohen,
Local Editor of the Chronicle, Dr.
Henry Rains, and Mess. Weisiger and
Jacobs, patrons of th* Institute. Miss
Jenna Garrett, an exceedingly bright
younglady then recited, “Texas Jus
tice,” in a way that would have done
credit to a professional elocutionist.
On next Tuesday night the Com
mencement Exercises will be held at
the Masonic Theatre. Prof. Sbecut’s
play, The Seaside Mystery, will be en
acted by a select company of the stu
dents.
I had the pleasure of seeing a Night
Blooming Cereus in full bloom a few
minutes since, at the house of one of
my neighbors—Mrs. Crocker. The
flower is of pure white, and resembles
somewhat a water-lily. It does not
grow from the stem proper, but first
buds out from a leaf, and then grad
ually forms a slender stem, at the end
of which blooms the beautiful flower.
It is very fragrant. Mrs. Crocker has
some rare plants in pots and in the
earth, and her flower garden is a lit
tle paradise.
The Prohibition movement seems
to have died out in Augusta. No one
hears any thing about it now, and the
petition calling for an election lies
dormant in the hands of the Ordinary.
Perhaps the question will be agitated
again, since the Primary election has
taken place. Or maybe its friends
will wait until the Gubernatorial con
test is decided before resurrecting the
petition.
One of the cleverest and most capa
ble City officers of which Augusta can
boast, is Judge W. M. Dunbar of the
Recorder’s Court. His empty sleeve
tells that he did his duty faithfully
and well “in the times that tried
men’s souls,” and the same spirit char
acterizes him now, as well as then. He
administers justice in an impartial
manner, but tempers it with mercy
when it can be done without detri
ment to the City’s laws. His admin
istration has given entire satisfaction
to the citizens generally. A petition
for the pardon of Maj, Geo. T. Jack-
son was carried to the Governor this
morning by Hon. H. Clay Foster. It
was signed by hundreds of citizens,
and is the strongest petition of the
kind ever sent from the city.

The fund for the support of the
families of the dead and wounded po
licemen of the recent Chicago massacre
is approaching $100,000. Seven po

The Griffin Daily Sun is of the opin
ion that when this Gubernatorial war
is over, there will be many citizens of
Georgia who will be heartily ashamed
of the intemperate zeal which they
have displayed in the interests of
men who do not care anything about
them.
Work on Jekyl island is progressing
rapidly. Mr. J. E. DuBignon has
just purchased 700,000 brick and 600
barrels of lime for the club, and an
architect will be down in about ten
days from Chicago to superintend the
erection of their clubhouse, which is
to be of brick and a most imposing
structure.
The Savannah News says: It might
be advisable for the protection pa
pers of Georgia to take particular no
tice of the fact that every Georgia
Congressman voted with Mr. Morris
and against Messrs. Kelly and Ran
dall. Our protection contemporaries
should begin to see that they are fall
ing behind the procession. The whole
State is against the little group of
protectionists that have collected in
Atlanta, Augusta and Macon.
Among the graduates of the
University of Virginia at the session
just closed are the following from

Mrs. Dan Lamont has created for
herself an unique position, and fills
it strongly, and in the interest
of harmony. As wife of the presi
dent’s confidential secretary she has,
of course, official status, yet is more
closely allied to the white house than
any cabinet lady. She is passion
ately fond of flowers, especially roses
and enjoys this climate so favored
by Flora with all the zest of novel
ty. She has very black hair and eyes
with dark clear complexion, color
less but for the lips, which are well
formed and coral red. She is intelli
gent, and a quick and accurate reader
