EDITORIAL GLIMPSES.
Boating on the canal and river at
Augusta is popular and parties are
out every afternoon.
The removal of the old South Car
olina railroad bridge and building a
new one at Augusta is making rapid
progress. _
The strike at the Sibley Mills added
to that of the Augusta Factory will
put, it is stated, 1,300 people out of
employment.
A Public Building for Augusta.
—The bill appropriating $150,000 for
a public building at Augusta, has
passed the Senate. It is on the House
calendar, but may not be acted upon
at this session, as it is so near its close.
Still we hope it will be. Major Barnes
knows how to play his cards for suc
cess. He has succeeded in erecting
the symbol of victory where we
thought there would be the least
chance for success. Augusta’s pres
tige with thirty-five thousand inhabi
tants entitles her to even a more cost
ly public edifice.
The Anarchists’ Dynamite.*
A Chicago dispatch of the 30th ult,
savs in substance: A party tested it
in the water at a distance of 300 yards.
In 10 minutes the boat shook, and the
water seemed disturbed, a second la
ter, a stream of water 6 feet in. diame
ter shot 190 feet in the air and for 20
feet around, the water was convulsed.
Hundreds of fish were thrown into
the air with the column of water, and
the surface was covered with dead
ones. The bloody-minded Anarchists
evidently made it to kill those who
opposed their desperate schemes.
Amendments to tkk Constitu
tion.—First. To strike out that para
graph of the constitution requiring
all local or special bills to originate in
the House.
Second. To make suitable provis
ions for such confederate soldiers as
may have been permanently injured
in such service. This is an amend
ment to the section in reference to
maimed soldiers, the present law pro
viding for aid only to such as have
had a leg or arm amputated. Under
the existing law' a soldier may be a
helpless, hopeless cripple, but unless
his leg or arm has been actually taken
off he can get no benefit from the
State.
Governor McDaniel has issued his
proclamation submitting these amend
ments to the qualified voters of the
State, at the general election to be
held onWednesday, October*6th, 1886,
for ratification or rejection of said
amendments—(or either of them) as
provided in said Acts respectively. We
invite the attention of voters to the
Governor's proclamation which will
be found in every issue of this paper
until the election.
Tales of Suffering in Labra
dor.—A Boston dispatch of the 30th
<ays : Okkok, Labrador, not a soul
remains of the 130 persons who lived
there. Their food gave out in March.
Everything that could be utilized was
eat, and on June 3rd, having eat
nothing for C days, and goaded by hun
ger they feasted on the corpses of sever
al whites and a fev r Indians that had
been killed by the cold. Dissentery
was the result. When only 16 survi
vors w ere left they skirted down the
coast in sledges drawn by dogs. Near
cone Mugford they were attacked
by white bears who killed all of the
partv bift two, the survivors being
among tlie number at Cape Mugford.
THE
STATE
TICKET.
We make up as brief a statement as
possible from an extended notice of
our Georgia State ticket which
find in the Atlanta Constitution of
the 1st instant.
Gen. John B. Gordon was born m
Walker county, Ga., Feb. 6, 1832. He
w'as in Milledgeville at the time that
Georgia passed the ordinance of seces
sion. Returning to Alabama he rais
ed a cavalry company for the confed
erate service in Jackson county where
he had been engaged in coal mining,
but as there was no demand for'caval
ry at that time he formed an infantry
company which was accepted by the
Governor of the State. This compa
ny known as the.“Raccoon Roughs”
became a part of the sixth Alabama
regiment of which C # aptain Gordon
was elected Major, subsequently
Lieutenant Colonel, and in 1862, at
Yorktown, Va., Colonel. The first
serious engagement in which his regi
ment participated was that at Seven
Pines, where it made a glorious rec
ord. More than two-thirds of his
command were said to have be£n kill
ed or wounded in that bloody engage
ment, the lieutenant-colonel, the uia
jor and the adjutant being among the
former. The horses of the mounted
officers were also killed, Col. Gordon’s
being the last to fall. They had taken
the breast Avork of the fenemy and
Avere drying the enemy from a dense
swamp strongly fortified by fallen
trees. It Avas Avhile gallantly leading
this charge that Col. Gordon’s horse
fell under him, in the midst of a heavy
musketry fire of the opposing force.
His escape Avas remarkable as out of
his force of 600, 396 of his men were
killed or Avounded. Next Col. Gordon
in the 7 days fight around Richmond,
commandecl Rhodes’ brigade and led
the desperate charge upon the federal
batteries through an open field. His
losses were heavy in killed and Avound
ed, yet his men rallied to his call, hav
ing the utmost confidence in his bold
and gallant leadership. Gen. Rhodes
in his official report declared that
the manner in which he handled
his regiment he had never seen
equalled during the war, and Gen.
D. H. Hill reported that Col. Gordon
excelled his former deeds at Seven
Pines and in the battle around Rich
mond.
At Sharpsburg as Gen. D. H. Hill,
just before the fight begun, was look
ing on Gen. Gordon’s portion of the
line with evident concern at its weak
ened numbers, Gen. Gordon exclaim
ed: Gen. Hill you need not fear for
this portion of the line, these men are
going to stay. His men caught the
spirit of his words and gave the as
surance all along the line,' “yes, we
have come to stay.” Immediately af
ter this, the battle became fierce and
the slaughter appalling/ Gen. Gor
don was twice wounded early in the
fight, tAVO balls passing through his
right leg, but he refused to leave the
field. An hour later, he was shot
through the left arm, another ball
penetrated his shoulder near a pre
vious Avound, yet he refused to retire,
prefering to stand by his few' remain
ing comrades in the bloody contest,
but soon a fifth ball passed through
his left cheek and he fell senseless to
the ground. He fell near the enemy's
lines. When consciousness returned,
pale, Aveak, and covered Avith blood,
he managed to get back to his‘men,
and by them was tenderly carried to
the rear.
It Avas se\'eral months before lie v r as
considered out of danger. His noble
and de\ T oted Avife nursed him Avith a
tenderness and fidelity that Avon him
back from the very mouth of the
grave.
His heroic acts caused llis promo
tion to a Brigadier-General. Soon af
ter this, his first exploit Avas at Mary’s
Hill, in front of Fredericksburg, when
he took the heights by a brilliant
charge. He crossed into Maryland,
but soon returned to York, and thence
to Gettysburg, to take part in the
great battle fought there. His brill
iant charge at that battle slioAved an
execution never accomplished iff simi
lar circumstances by the sdme num
ber of men. Gordon left on the field,
counted by the inspectors, more than
400 dead of the enemy. All eyes Avere
turned upon him on the stormy banks
of tlie Rapidan, where he performed
his chief part in history, and achieved
his great renown. At one time Gen.-
Ewell rode up to Gordon and said, the
enemy are drh'ing us, the fate of the
day depends on you. Gen. Gordon
replied: We will save it. Immediate
ly wheeling to his men he told them
Avhat was expected of them, and.lead
ing them, the charge Avas successful.
We pass over other thrilling scenes
and come to Spottsylvania Court
House. At that place Gordon Avas a
conspicuous actor in one of the most
memorable and dramatic passages of
the w'ar. It A\-as here that, put in
command of Early’s division (Early
taking command of A. P. Hill’s corps)
he gave the first check to the enemy
adA'ancing after taking the salient
held by General Johnson, and it Avas
here occurred the affecting and noble
scene Avhen he seized the bridle of
General Lee's horse and refused to let
him lead the Georgians and Virginians
placed in line for a desperate counter
charge upon the enemy. In the dark
and misty morning, Gordon had been
guided to the point of danger by the
volume of fire. Checking the enemy
and throAving his little command a-
gainst the heavy tide of his numbers,
he afterwards recaptured all the con
federate line to the right of the salient,
some of the artillery lost in tlie morn
ing, and held during the day the sa
lient and all to the right of it to A. P
Hill’s line. After this battle, marked
by its monument of carriages, and il
luminated with so much glory to the
Southern arms, Gordon took part in
the A'arious engagements betw'een the
two armies until June 13, when he
was sent with Early to Lynchburg to
meet Hunter; and afterwards to the
Valley of Virginia and into Maryland.
Returning to the army of Northern
Virginia it w r as soon eA'ident that the
struggle could not continue much
longer. But Gordon’s part Avas heroid
to the last. He commanded chiefly
in the battle of Hans Hill, March 25th,
1865. Here the troops fought with a
bravery and brilliancy which remind
ed one of Lee's old campaigns.
In Lee’s final and fatal retreat, Gor
don was atl'the frent with 2,000 men
to cut through Sheridan's army at
Appomattox Court House and the at
tempt Avas only stayed by the flag of
truce that concluded hostilities.
S ubsequently Gen. Gordon w*as a can
didate for Governor of Georgia. But,
though elected by several thousand
votes over the Republican candidate,
R. B. Bulloch, he- Avas counted out.
His subsequent election as Senator
over Hons. A. H. Stephens and Ben
jamin H. Hill, his retirement, and his
elec£ion, noAv, by an overwhelming
majority, is a proof that tne people of
Georgia. confide in his honesty and
ability, and re\ T ere him for his achie\'-
wents in defence of their rights.
Mr. Gladstone’s Favors.
It is •customary for a retiring Pre
mier to submit to the Queen the list
of honors that it is customary for the
retiring Premier to bestow.
London, July 30.—W. L. Booker,
British Consul General at NeAv York,
and John Henry G. Bergner, superin
tendent of the treaty department of
the foreign office, have been appoint
ed Knights-Commanders of the Order
of St. Michael and St. George. The
following gentlemen haA'e been rec
ommended to the Queen by Mr. Glad
stone for eleyation to the peerage:
Sir Thos. Brassey, Sir Michael Bass,
the well known brpwer ; John Glen-
cairn, Carter Hamilton, who failed of
re-election to Parliament from South
Lanarkshire in the late contest, and
Sit Henry Irving, of the Treasury
Department. Mr. Gladstone has al&>
recommended that the following gen
tlemen be made Baronets: Messrs.
Frederick Thorpse Mappin and Chas.
Mark Palmer, members of Parliament,
and ex-Commoner Thomas. D. L.
Jones Parry, and Mr. Kitson defeated
Gladstone candidate ih Leeds.
The grand old man Avanted nothing
for himself. He commends some to
the Queen, as will be seen, for high
honors, even elevation to the peerage.
He declined a peerage offered him by
the Queen. Instead of being Lord
Gladstone, he preferred to remain Mr.
Gladstone. As such he is majestic.
There is no true majesty but what is
founded in virtue and moral worth.
The monarch'struts in mock majesty
without them. The Avorld attributes
to Mr. Gladstone an instinctive sense
of honor. This is the highest proof
of a moral sense. He honors station,
not the station him.
Liberty for a People.
Some writer said that liberty would
descend to a people. This would be
fortunate for a people w ho could ob
tain the blessing. In our historical
reading Ave can call to mind no people
upon Avhorn it ever descended as a
more gracious act of Providence, or
a peculiar incidence or’circumstance
in their history. Seldom Avas it eA'er
inherited, and in such a case it came
froth a people avIio had obtained it by
force of arms and the expenditure of
blood and treasure. The story of our
American forefathers is a memorable
instance of its attainment by force of
arms, the shedding of blood, and the
sacrifice of human life. Taken all in
all, it Avas the most extraordinary
achievement in the bloody romance's
of war. E\'ery morning drumbeat,
and e\ T ening tattoo, on the American
side, during that long and doubtful
struggle, w as a hymn of liberty. The
American triumph was the grandest
of human achieA'ements.
Whether for just cause or not, the
Southern States sought a separation
from the Northern. folloAA’ed by a four
years’ Avar almost unexampled in the
loss of human life, during , the four
years of- its continuance. The fierce
antagonists came together again, and
the American people are still the free-
est people of the earth.* Americans
still live in a country where the peo
ple make the laws. Absolute liberty
to each individual would institute an
archy. Relative liberty constitutes
one a member of organized society
and is the best for him and all the
rest. Notwithstanding the result of
the late Avar betAveen the States, the
people of all sections haA’e reason to
rejoice that essential liberty still exists
in the South and in the North, and it
becomes the duty'of the people in all
the sections of our country, to lock
their shields in the defense of the
liberties they enjoy, such liberties
as no other people can boast of in any
portion of the habitable earth.
The Cases of Raserpz and Others.
•“God and Liberty” Mexico Avill
probably need a severe checking.
The strictest investigation should be
made into the case of Raserez. He
was a naturalized American citizen,
Avho was surrendered to the police at
Pedras Negras, Mexico, as a horse
thief and shot by them. The Presi
dent has directed a thorough investi
gation to be made of all the facts of
the case. The probabilities are that
Raserez has been unjustly put to
death, indeed has been cruelly mur
dered, to gratify some private malice
of Mondragon an officer in the Mexi
can army.
One or two other cases, especially
that of Cutting, demands the swiftest
attention of our Government.
Of course the President has been
informed of these startling matters in
Mexico. Rasarez is past all aid as to
himself, for he was suddenly put in
prison, and that night or the next Avas
taken from jail at 1 o’clock and bru
tally murdered. Those who knew
him speak of him as a good and order
ly citizen. Further and full particu
lars will soon be received of these bar
barous transactions. We have seen
only a feAv hasty notices of them by
which, however, w r e have been im
pressed Avith the necessity of prompt
action by our Government. Swift
retribution is demanded for the mur
der of Raseraz and immediate action
is demanded in the other cases. The
people in Texas are for Avar, and if
authorized to do it Avould cross the
line and aA'enge the Avrongs with Tex
ans alone.
THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
TIIE CONSERVATORS' LEAGUE.
Chicago, July 29.—Chicago Coun
cil No. 1 of the ConserA’ators* league of
America, held an open meeting last
night for the purpose of discussing
the objects and aims-of the organiza
tion.
Judge Mark Bangs, in stating the
character of the league, said that the
recent socialist and labor troubles
that had beeD so disastrous, and
which threaten still further paralysis
to business, had arisen from vital mis
apprehension of the true relation sus
tained by all classes to the business in
terests of the country and greatly ag-f
gravated, rather than relieved the
evils Complained of. To counteract
these injurious results and to protect
these all-important business interests
and thus promote the highest good of
the country, the “Conservators’
League of America” has been organ
ized un^er a charter of incorporation
from the state of Illinois, the purpose
of which is to unite into one organiza
tion all'men who believe in the su
premacy of law and are willing to join
putting in motion a great moral force
to uphold the law, and conserve alike
the rights of employer and employed;
to protect business from disorders and
from all unlaAvful interference, and to
promote a better understanding of the
true relation of employer and employ
ees, maintaining the rights of each
and adjusting their differences. Re
ferring to the power of the Knights
of Labor, and similar organizations,
he said it would be the duty of the
league to watch and guard against
any attempt by them to capture the
ballot box and control legislation, to
stand between and antagonize the
utopian schemes of a class who seek
to overthrow the present order of
things, and say to the members of
such organization: “Thus far shalt
thou go, and no farther.”
. W. H. Van Ornuin read a paper ad-
A’ocating the formation of the league.
Labor organizations had reached the
point where they dictated to firms
and individual employers Avhat.Avages
should be paid, the.hours of Avork,
number of employes and the kind of
Avork to be done, and noAv boldly an
nounce that they propose to secure
by the use of the ballot certain legis
lation Avhich Avould take away the
last remaining safeguard of business
men and destroy the commercial in
terests of the country. It all tended
toward anarchy and the overthrow
of the present order of social and po
litical liberty enjoyed by the people
at large. To meet these 'schemes the
business man has no organization,
and has in fact overlooked the signs
of the times. To supply this deficien
cy and furnish means to combat the
new and dangerous enemy of the bus
iness world, the conservators’ league
had been formed. Its councils had
already reached into four western
states,'and there Avas little doubt that
it was destined to be the largest and
strongest of any exclusively secular
organization in the world.
Business men present expressed
themselves in favor of the league.
The league Avas organized April 24,
1886, by the formation of a supreme
council*. Subsidiary councils are be
ing formed under control and advice
of the supreme council, Chicago coun
cil No. 1 having now several hundred
members. The proceedings of the
council are to be secret.
Prof. Chas. P. Williams, Ph. D., of
Philadelphia, says there is neither
morphia, opium nor minerals in Red
Star Cough Cure. Price, twenty-five
cents a bottle.
A Destructive Fire In Thomson.
—A dispatch, from Augusta, of the
30th of July, to the Athens Banner-
Watchman, giA'es an account of a
very destructWe fire at Thompson on
the forenoon of that day. Nearly all
the business portion of town Avas de
stroyed. The loss about $27,000 with
insurance to about $9,000.
The theories of the fire Avere that it
was incendiary, or caused by a light
left in a room.
