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. Sam'l. A. Cook. 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 .

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. Houghton. 49-CAPITAL Tickets only $5. PRIZE, 875,0OO.«54i Shares in proportion.

Newton Anderson, Sheriff of Newton county, died at his home in Covington last Saturday. Atlanta closed her bar rooms and liquoor stores at 12 o’clock last Wed nesday night, amid great jollification among the “boys.” Liquor flowed freely, and a regular Christmas time was had. 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 licemen are dead, and about fifty were wounded, many of the latter being crippled for life. 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 Georgia: Mr. C. C. Cox of La Grange, Ga., in chemistry and English literature; James O.

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 of character.
