Ingall’s attack on Hancock and
McClellan, calling them allies of the
confederacy, In diabolical malignity
and unblushing falsehood, has never
been surpassed. Ingalls did it be
cause they were democrats.
It is believed that the cotton crop
will reach 6,700,000 bales, there hav
ing been to date 360,000 more bales re
ceived from plantations, than were
received last year to the same date.
Tlli* increase in receipts accounts for
the recent fall in prices.
It is estimated that Atlanta lost $1,-
000,000 by the drop in cotton and the
South $10,060,000. A laily in Atlanta
lost several thousand dollars and 3

that it is much more easily digested.
Henry Bergli, the noted philanthro
pist, died in New York last WednesJ
day. He was born in that city in 1823.
He wrote some poems and u drama.
In 1863 lie was made Secretary of Le

An earthquake commenced in the
province of Yuunau, China, Dec. 15,
lasting four days. Five thousand peo

tracts of land sunk and wore cover
ed with water. Ten thousand people
perished. By the recent overflows of
the Yellow river in China, one hun
dred thousand people were drowned.
The Board of Aldermen in Atlanta,
defeated the ordinance to appropri
ate a part of tho revenue, derived
from liquor licenses to purchase
school books for the use of children
in tlie public schools. The prohibi
tionists members voted against it on
the ground, that it would have a ten
dency to reconcile tho people to the
license system and fasten the liquor
business upon the city.
Mr. Smith Dimsdaie, a prosperous
farmer at Ball Ground, Git., lias two
wives on hand, which embarrassing
state of affairs came about as follows:
A few months ago, Mr. Andrew Har
per, a stylish looking man full in love
with wife No. one, who is a hand
some woman about 30 years old. She
reciprocated his affection, and they
eloped to North Carolina, Mrs, Dims-
ilalo leaving several children, besides
her husband, behind. Shortly after
wards, Mr. Dimsdaie received a let
ter from North Carolina announcing
the death of his wife, which caused
him to withdraw a suit for divorce
which he had instituted. Shortly
thereafter he married Miss Sarah
Holcomb,and was living happily with
her, when his first wife came back,
rushed into tlie house, fell at her
husband's feet and begged to he ta
ken back, while her children clung
to her, the second wife being a wit
ness of tho scene. The letter which
Mr. Dimsdaie received was a fraud.
Ho thinks of sending his second wife
to her parents, until ho can get a
divorce from his first wife.
Frince William, tho son and heir
of tho now Emperor of Germany, is
29 years old. He is a Major-General
in the Prussian army, and is a groat
favorite, both with tho soldiers and
people of Germany. He ‘has boon
thoroughly educated as a soldlor.—
His right arm is two inches shorter
than hie left, and Ills 1 right hand is
badly crippled, a natural deformity.
Nevertheless, ho is an expert horse
man and swordsman. Ho is ■lender,
and shorter than his father.
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, is tall
and thin, with sallow anil sunken
cheeks. He is lean, lank and cadav
erous, and resembles a devil horse.
His eyes have the glitter and gener
al expression of those of a rattlesnake.
His blood is vinegar tinctured witli
vitriol, and his saliva is gall. His chief
traits are hale and malice, and his
fondest pastime uttering slanders and
calumny, lie seldom opens his mouth,
but a volume of vituperation and
falsehood gushes involuntarily out.
His voice sounds like that of Belze-
bub, when he orders his minions
to throw more fagots in the flro and
make the furnace hotter. Were In
galls an emperor he would be a Nero,
were he a judge ho would be a Jef
fries. As it is he is the presiding offi
cer of a Republiean Senate.
A great swindle has been brought
to light in Charleston, S. C., by Pink
erton detectives. A white family
named Bond, consisting of father
and four sons, and immediate con
nections, were the principal conspir
ators, One of tlie Bonds is a doctor,
another an insurance agent. Tlie
Plan was to steal dead bodies from
the cemeteries, have mock funerals,
and pass off tlie bodies as tiio corpses
of parties insured. A prominent col
ored pastor, J. A. Robinson, and a
sexton of a colored Baptist church,
ami about thirty other people are in
volved. Tho swindle has been going
on for five or six years, and differ
ent mutual associations, such as tem
perance, odd-fellows, etc., have been
tlie principal sufferers. The com
panies have been defrauded out of
more than $100,000. Eight or ten of
the conspirators have been jailed.
Mr. Henry W. Grady, in the Atlan
ta Constitution, replies to Senator In-
gall's attack upon him. He shows that
the respect and love of the Southern
people to Jefferson Davis and tlie sol
diersof the confederacy, is not ineon
sistent with devotion to tlie Union.
He says all the issues involved in tlie
war were settled by the war,.-.and tlie
South is satisfied; characteriseslngall’s
attack on President Cleveland as un
speaknbly brutal and coarse, and says
it will be amazing if Ingall’sattack bn
Hancock anil McClellan does not pro
volte a storm of indignation in tlie
North. Mr. Grady quotes from his
speech at tlie New England Society
dinner a year ago, in which he said
the South had nothing to apologize for
and nothing to take back, but that
lie rejoiced that slavery was swept
away from American soil.
The prize fight between Jno. L.
Sullivan, of Boston, and Mitchell of
England, took place, March 10, on
the grounds of Baron Rothschild,
near Criel in France. Mitchell is
much smaller than Sullivan. In the
first three rounds Sullivan knocked
Mitchell down. During the balance
of the light, Mitchell spent the time
in running around the ring pursued
by Sullivan, which seemed to exhaust
Sullivan. Sullivan was not well when
the light began. There were thirty-
nine rounds, lasting 3 hours and 11
minutes. The last round lasted half
hour. During tho sixth round rain
began to fall, and in tho thirty-sec
ond round it was falling in torrents
and Sullivan was attacked with ague.
At the conclusion of the 3‘Jth round
tho parties agreed to call it a draw.
Mitchell was badly punished, having
a lump on his jaw and a bunged eye.
At tlie beginning Sullivan’s backers
offered to bet three to one on Sulli
van, but found no takers. Sullivan
at the conclusion of tho flgh. had a
black eye.
John W. DuBose, of Birmingham,
Ala., will soon publish a life of Wil
liam L. Yancey, in which he promises
to tell the true story of tho encounter
in the Confederate Senate between
Yancey and Bob Toombs, in which
Toombs struck Yaucey with a heavy
inkstand, and from the effects of
which he never recovered.
FOREIGN NOTES.
Lord Randolph Churchill, in a re
cent speech, in tlie House of Com
mons, attacked the extravagance of |
the English war department. To j
maintain a German corps d’arme he
said cost £'1,509,000 per annum, while
an English corps cost i’7,000,000 per
annum.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The House committee has begun an
investigation into the subject of trusts
and their influence on the price of
commodities. They are examining
first into tho sugar trust. Since the
organization of the trust, sugar had
risen one cent a pound in London,
aud a half cent in this country. Sev
eral refineries in this country have
been closed in order to limit produc
tion.
The House passed a hill to purchase
two swords belonging to the estate of
Gen. Shields for $10,000. Mr. Tillman,
in the debate, said that speaking for
South Caroliua, he declared that her
people hail been too sincere in their
convictions of duty as they saw It, to
doubt the sincerity of General Shields’
conviction to fight on the side he
thought right, and whenever men
anywhere were ready to risk their
lives for the sake of their convictions,
they deserved the respect and chari
ty of honest men, even if they had
been in the wrong.
A petition was introduced into the
Senate, having 102,000 signatures,
from 33 states and territories, protest
ing against the admission of Utah us
a state, so long as its people were un
der the control of the Mormon priest
hood.
There are 707,000 persons on the
pension roll of the late war. The pen
sion bill passed the Senate, yeas 44,

words “the infirmities of age”, was
defeated, yeas 13, nays 43. The a-
uiendment to include those who ser
ved in the Mexican and Indian wars,

Washington, Murch 12th, 1888.
Editors Union-Rkcordku:
"Tho issue is inhde, and wo shall
stand by the bill, just as it is,” said
Representative Mills to-day, in refer
ence to the tariff bill. Continuing, ho
said, "The revenue reformers intend
to fight every amendment which is
offered no matter who offers it. This
bill is the result of three months hard
work and study on the part of the
gentlemen who compose the majority
of the Ways and Means Committee,
and 1 don’t believe it would be possi
ble to get up a measure different from
this one that would reduce the reven
ue to the same extent, aud result in
as little injustice to everybody con
cerned.” The prospects of pussing
this bill are improving. Mr. Mills
claims that he has 156 votes already
pledged to the bill; this is only 7 short
of a majority. Surely the party
should be able to bring pressure
enough upon seven of the democratic
followers of Mr. Randall to compel
them to support the bill. Quite a
number of strong speeches in favor of
the bill will be made as soon as it gets
before the House. Mr. Mills will
make the first one, he will be follow
ed by Mr. Breckinridge anil several
other members of tho Ways and
Means committee, but probably the
strongest aud best speech that will
be made upon it will be that pf Speak
er Carlisle, who is beyond question
the best equipped man to make a tar
iff speech in the House.
Senator Ingalls is beginning to hear
from the friends of Hancock ami Mc
Clellan, svliom ho attempted to villify
in his speech the other day. He was
a few days ago denied admission as u
member into the local commandery
of the Loyal Legion, an organization
composed of officers and ex-offlcers of
tho Federal Army, and of which Gen.
Sheridan is the grand commander.
The reason given to the public for
the rejection of Ingalls’ application
for membership, was that he was not
eligible, lie having been an officer of
State troops only. But there is no
doubt in the world that the real rea
son was bis attack on the memory of
Hancock and McClellan.
The Senate has passed the Dopen
dent Pension bill, without amend
ments. It is just as Senator Mander
son received it from the G. A. R. It
bus now gone to the House.
In reply to the coinpluints made by
the Kansas Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress, about inefficient
mail service in the West, the Post

asserts that the mail service of the en

than ever before.
j It is now estimated that the Treas-
' ury surplus for the year ending Juno
1 30, 1888. will be $155,000,000. And still
I there are democrats in the House who
S refuse to support the tariff hill which
J cuts off $80,000,000 of this large sum.
Revenue reform is spreading. Even
Ohio republican wool growers are be-
| coining infected. An official of the
Treasury department lias received a
letter from an Ohio man, who was
chairman of the republican central
committee of his county in 1884, and
a large contributor to the republican
campaign fund of that year, ami who
is a large sheep raiser, in which he
says: "I am clear over, and agree
with the democrats on the tariff, * * *
I am tired of seeing the blacksmith’s
hammer protected, and nothing done
for his muscle.”
It is amusing to observe the great
efforts that John Hherman is mak
ing to secure the republican nomi
nation this year. With his record on
numerous public questions, particu
larly the demonitization of silver, he
would make tho weakest candidate
that could possibly be selected. If he
should be nominated, and all good
democrats pray that he may be, Col
orado, Nevada, and Oregon would
be sure to cast their electoral vote
for the democratic nominee.
Mr. Henry George has lately showh
signs of “coming to.” He is for Cleve
land, and praises the Mills tariff bill.
There is some hope for him if he will
drop his anti-poverty nonsense.

Evening Wisconsin.
Cutting it across tho country at
midnight—otherwise eloping to get
married—Is a custom that lias long
prevailed Id Kentucky. Many blue-
grass girls wouldn’t care a cent about
marryng if they couldn’t run away
and do It. Young men in that favored
region are of that way of thinking
too. Hut there was one who didn’t
feel that way, as the following shows:
"Mother, young Brown was in the
store to-day, and he said he wanted
to marry our Kate,” said an old gen
tleman down in Kentucky to his
spouse.
“Well, Brown’s a good fellow”, she
replied, "and I don’t believe Kate can
do hotter,”
That’s what I thought, and so I got
red lu the face and pretended to be
mail, just as your father did when I
asked for you, you remember, and
yelled: “You oan’t have her! Get off
my premises or I’ll set the dogs on.
you, you young scamp!”
“There’ll be an elopement, then,”’
said the wife, with a smile of pleasure,
recalling the result in their oase.
“No, there won’t,” replied the hus
band with a sigh of discontent.
“Why not! That’s the way it al
ways works in Kentuk.”
“Well, he’s a smart one, mother.,
and no mistake. He first give me the
wink, and says he;
“Father-in-law, I’m dead sot agin
elopements. Too much trouble. The
Ohio stylo of getting married on the
premises is good enough for me. I
know it ain’t popular in Kentuck.
It ain’t ho romantic as cutting it
across tho country at midnight, es
caping across the river in a dugout,
anil hunting a strange Justice of the
Peace who chews plug tobacco while
he ties the knot. But l ain’t roman
tic. For a starter I want the milch,
cow and tho bedclothes, the trous
seau aud other knlck knacks that go
with the regular way. One can set
up housekeeping easier. I know it
will come a little higher for you.
but you’ll huvo to stand it this time.
Perhaps the other girls will furnish
the elopements necessary to keep-
up the reputation of the family, but
none in mine!” “And what are you
going to do about it?” asked tlie wife.
“Do? Wliy, sell some hogs and rig
lvuto out, of course. What else cau

Atlanta Short Line.
In case Atlanta attempts to build a
short line to Savannah, Gen. Alexan
der says:
We would build from Sandersvitie
to Milledgeville, using our bridge ov
er tlie Oconee at tlie latter point.
From there to Eatontou we have a
line. From Katonfon wo would build
to Covington striking our road at
Covington, and giving us as near as
possible an air lino to Atlanta. This
would shorten our lino over forty
miles, making the distance 252 miles
from 8a van nail to Atlanta, a much
shorter line than any tiiat lias been
projected, or that is likely to be built.
We have only to build from Snnders-
ville to Milledgeville, and from Ea-.

pondent to the Macon Telegraph,
says: “Tlie sad news of the death of
Mr. J. W. Mann, of Milledgeville, for
merly of Perry, was received here yes
terday morning, and the corpse was
brought here for interment yesterday
at 12:45 o’clock.
The deceased left Perry on Febru
ary 28, 1888. to take charge of the
Oconee Hotel in Milledgeville, but
soon after reaching there was taken
with pneumonia, of which he died
Sunday afternoon. The news of his
death was quite a shook to his many
friends and relatvies in Perry, for
thefo was none more popular than,
he.
He was buried in Evergreen Ceme

business houses were closed and a
large concourse of citizens followed
his remains to the grave to pay their
