THE KKLANHER SYNDICATE.
Work Being Done on the Various Roads
. Included in This Line’
Cincinnati Gazette.
Knowing that the merchants and
manufacturers of Oincinnai are very
much interested iu everything per
taining to the Southern system of
railway, a Gazette reporter hunted
up 001. Johu Scott, agent of the Er
langer syndicate aiul general man
ager of its several railways, yester
day afternoon, to get his views as to
the early completion of the syndi
cate’s projected lines and extensions.
Iu answer to a general question, Col.
Scott said the progress which is be
ing made with regard to the comple
tion of the various new accquisiiions
of the Alabama Great Southern is
entirely satisfactory. In fact, much
greater progress is being made to
wards getting the completed lines in
good working order, than was ex
pected when he took possession of
them.
When needed, he has bad the hear
ty co-opetation of the merchants aud
planters living in the region of
country tributary to the lines, who
have not been slow to realize the im
portance to them of having the half
equipped and btokendown railroads,
upon which they have been obliged
to depend for means of communica
tion with tho markets of the country,
converted into first class railways,
with ample equipment lo accomo
date the trade dependent upon
them.
Referring to the Vicksburg and
Meridian road, Col. Scott, said ttmt
contracts have been made, and new
rails are being laid at tue rate of 1500
tons per mouth. Steam pumps will
be supplied to ail water stations,
and the grade raised In places sub
ject to overflow. All works are un
dertaken in such a manner as to
make (be road in Itß physical condi
tion first-class, and permanent iu all
respects. Tue passeugor fares have
been reduced from five to four cents
per mile, and 1000 mile tickets are
reduced io $25. The freight tariff is
being revised, and when completed
shippers will find the rates entirely
satisfactory.
As regards tbe Vicksburg, Shreve
port and I’aciflo line, which runs
from Delta, opposite Vicksburg, to
tbe Texas State line, arrangements
are being made to raise the Rrade of
the road from tbe Mississippi river
to Monroe, a distance of 73 miles. At
the latter point a bridge is being
built across the Ouachita, and the
surveys are about completed prepar
atory to making the contracts for
building the road from Ouachita lo
Shreveport, a distance of 95 miles.
The pHsacnger fares will be reduced
fiorn six cents per mile to four
Cents on and alter Ist of September
next. Referring to the projected
New Orleans and Northeastern
toad, Col. Scott said the surveys are
fast approaching completion, and
lhat tbe contracts would be adver
lised in a very few weeks. Specifica
tions are now being prepared for
the creosoting works.
It is the purpose of the general
manager to have ail timber used on
this line bropared against worms and
decay in the most approved manner.
Iu answer to an inquiry as to when
tne system will be completed, Col.
Scott said it was impossible to name
a day until tbe contracts are actual
ly let, but that the work will bo
pushed as fast as men and money
can push it, and in the near future
he will operate iraiDs between Chat
tanooga and Texas, and between
Chattanooga and New Orlears. Tbe
Alabama Great Southern system, he
thinks, by its geogiapbieal position,
will be recognized as the most im
portant system of roads south of the
Ohio river.
It will beat once tho shortest route
between Cincinnati and the North
east and the Southeast for through
traffic, and the principal outlet from
tbe coal and iron fields in Alabama,
and the vast pine forests of South
ern Mississippi to the trans-Missis
sippi country, the North, Northeast,
and New Orleans. Particular atten
tion will be given to the subject of
immigration, and the most flattering
propositions will be made to mer
chants, manufacturers, mechanics,
farmers and laborers to come and
help develop the inexhaustible re
sources of the country lying upon
timer side of and tributary to all the
lines of tbe system.

THE DEATH OF GENERAL LEE-
Interesting Prlrate Letter From the
Late Mrs. Mary Custis Lee.
CitARLOTTESVILLe, Vi., Aug. 23.—1 u
the fall of 1870, we went to Lexigtou
to visit General and Mrs. Lee. Per
fectly do I recall my impression of
the general as he advanced to meet
me. The preoccupied, care-worn ex
pression that his face had worn dur
ing the war gone, and he looked us I
had remembered him years before.
He bad accepted the results of the
war. There was no reserve of bitter
ness, no usolets regrets, but the brave
determination to make his life useful.
If tne t ue indication of genius is the
power of concentration upon any
given subject, General Lee demon
strated it in his active, thorough
interest in bis duties as president of
a college. One felt that it was not a
forced interest, but a deep solicitude
for tbe youth of tne country.
Looking bettor for several years,
energetic aud active, how was it pos
sible to realize that death was wait
ing io the near future—merciless
death that heeded not a jieopie’sery
that he might be spared to lead in
peace as he bad in war. Wo doubt
not but that he would bav > mode
rated bitterness and oounsoled wise
ly. We bade him farewell on Mon
day, September 26, after several days
most pleusautiy spent, and on the
Wednesday afteiwards and as a
shock to the whole country came the
avant-courier of death. I will here
add a letter from Mrs. Lee, giving
some details of the sad event, and
bespeaking Ker owu noble, beautiful
character:
Lexington. November 20, 1870.
Mv Dear Mrs. , I should sooner
have replied to your letter, but have
been very sick and confined to my
bed fora month.
Dear friend, latnsoglad your hus
band and yourself made that visit,
aud only wish that you could have
remained longer. Constantly are we
reminded how important it is to do
whatsoever our hands fludeth to do.
I think Usometimt s importaut where
our pleasures are concerned, where
it does not. interfere with our duties.
This terrible storm, I suppose, lias
prevented all use of the canal until
next summer, so that you would have
been entirely cut off from us.
That Wednesday night, at half
past 7 o’clock, after a day every mo
ment of which had been filled with
care for others and the closing hours
to vestry meeting of the course, my
husband came in. We bad been
watting for him and I remarked:
“You have kept us waiting a long
time. Where have you been'i 1 ” Ho
did not reply, and stood up as it to
say graoe, but no sound proceeded
from his lips and he sat down in his
chair perfectly upright aad with
a sublime look of resignation on bis
countenance, but did not attempt to
reply to our inquiries. That look
was never to be forgotten, and I have
no doubt that he felt his hour had
come, although ho submitted to tho
doctors, who were Immediately sum
moned. and had not even reached
their homes from the same vestry
meeting. His whole demeanor dur
ing his illness showed one who had
taken leave of earth.
He rarely attempted to speak ox~
cept in tns dreams, aud when he
wandered to those dreadful battle
llolls. Ouce, when—ur«ud him to
take some medicine, which he al
ways took i. ith reluctance, he looked
at her and said: “Tis no use,” but
afterwards look It. When he became
so much better thodoetor said : “You
must soon get up and ride yout favo
rite gray/’ He shook his head em
phatically and looked uuward.
He slept a great deal, bqt knew us
all and greoted us with a kindly pres
sure orithe hand, loving to have us
around him. For the last forty-eight
hours he seemed quite insensible of
our presence, breathed heavily and
at last quietly suuk to rest witß one
deep drawn sigh. Oh! what a glori
ous rest was in store for him—the
humble, consistent Christian, who,
not many weeks before, had said,
when we were calking Os the assur
ance. He will be Surprised at the
welcome: “Well done good ahd faith
ful servant, enter thou into the joy of
the Lord.” :">
Had he been successful instead of
the “hero ot a lost oause,” he could
not have been mere beloved and hon
ored.
I am content and would not have
him hack, though I must continue
my weary pilgrimage slone, without
the support on which I have leaned
with such perfect confidence for
more than thirty years. We shall
continue to make this our home. I
could not bear to move into a new
house, and my own Arlington is not
open to me.
When the canal is open oome and
visit us again.
Believe me always truly and affec
tionately yours friend,
Mary C'ostis Lek
The flood alluded to will long be
remembered In Virginia, particularly
by those living along the line of the
canal, who, by its destruction, were
cut off for months from tbe rest of
the world.
THE WILD OBELISK KINGS,
EMIL BBUGSOH DISCOVERS THE MUMMIES
Os THOTHMES HI, AND KAMEBES 11.
A discovery of special interest to
Americans has just been made in
Egypt by a yeunger brother ol the
well-known Prussian Arohseologist
Brugseh Pasha, who represented
Egypt at the Philadelphia Centenni
al in 1876. He has found about four
miles East of Thebes the mummies
witn all their mortuary appendages
and inscriptions, of no less than 30
royal personages. Among the 30
royal mummies are those of King
Thothmes 111, and of Kiog Remeses
11., the first of whom ordered the
construction of the obelisk which
now stands in our Central Park, and
the latter of whom 270 years after
wards caused bis own official titles
and honors to be Inscribed upon its
faces, besides those of Thothmes HI.
These two monarebs now lie side by
side in the Beulak Museum, and even
the flowers and garlands which were
plactd in their coffins may to-uay be
seen encircling the masks which cov
er the faces of the deceased just as
they were left by the mourners over
3,000 years ago.
Last June Daoud Pasha, governor
of the province of Keneh, which in
cludes the ancient Theban district,
noticed that the Bedaween offered
for sale an unusual quaintity of an
tiquities at absurdly low prices. Tbe
Pasha soon discovered that the
source of their hiddent treasure lay
in a gorge of the mountain range
which separates Dsir-01-Bahari from
the Bab-el-Malopk. This gorge is
■situated about four miles from the
Nile to the east of Thebes. Daoud
Busha at once telegraphed lo tho
Khedive, who forthwith dispatched
to the spot Herr Emil Brugsob, a
younger brother of Dr Henry Brugseh
Pasha, who, during Mr. Maspero’s
absence in Paris, is in charge of all
archecological excavaiious in Egypt.
Herr Brugson discovered in the cliffs
oftheLybian mountains, uear the
Temple of Delf-el-Bsbarl, or the
"Northern Convent,” u pit about
thirty-live feet doep cut in tbe solid
rock. A secret opening from Ibis pit
led to a gallery nearly 200 feet long,
also hewn out of the solid rock. This
gallery was filled with relics of the
Theban dynasties. Every indication
leads to tho conviction that these
sacred relics had bean removed from
their appropriate places in the va
rious tombs and temples and con
cealed in this secret subterranean
gallery by the Egyptian priests to
preseive them from being destroyed
by some foreign invader, jlu all
probability they were thus coucealod
at the time of the invasion of Egypt
bv Cambyses.
Herr Brugsoh at once telegrapod
for a steamer, wliioh on Friday last
safe! v deposited her precious cargo at
the Boularlt Museum.
The full valueot tho discovery of
course canuot as yet bo determined.
Tbe papyri have not yet been un
rolled, nor have the mumies been un
wrapped. The following Theban
Sovereigns are the most Important of
those whose mummies Herr Brugseh
has iudentifled:
Aahmeel. (Amosis), Ist King of 18th
Dynasty, reigned B. 0. 1700 (about).
Amenlmtep. I. (Amtjnophis), 2d
KinguflSlb Dynasty, ri signed B. O.
1666 (about).,
That limes 1., 3tl King bf- 18tb Dy
nasty, resigned B. C. 1633 (about).
Thothmes 11., 4th King of 18th Dy
nasty, reigned B.: Cl 1600(about).
Ramoses T.,lst King of 19th Dynas
ty, reigned B. C. 1400 (about).
Si ti 1., 2 1 King of thedOtn Dynasty,
reigned B. C. 1366 (aboiu).
Runeses 11., (the Great), 3 1 King
of the 19, h Dynasty, reigned B. C.
1333 (about).,
Pirotetn, 3d King of the 21st Dynas
ty, reigned B. 0.1033 (about).
Raskhenen' (Dynasty aud date of
reign unknown.
Queen Ra-rna-ka (Hatasou?-).
Queen Aalimes Nufert Ari.
Conspicuous by its mus-ive gold
ornamentation, in which cartouches
are set in precious stones, is the cof
fin containing the mummy of Maut
Nedjem, a daughter of King Ramo
ses 11.
Eichot the mummies is accompa
nied by an alabaster oauopio urn,
containing the heart and entrails of
the deceased.
Four papyri were found in tho
gallery at Deirel-Banari, eacn iu a
perfect state of preservation. The
largest of tbeso papyri -that found
in tne coffin of Queen Ri-tna-ka—is
most beautifully illustrated witli
colored illuminations. It is about
16 iuches wide, and whoa unrolled
will probably measure from 100 to
140 feet in length. Tho other papyri
ato somewhat narrower, but are
more closely written upon. These
papyri will probably provo to be the
most valuable portion of the discov
ery, for in the present state of Egyp
tology a papyrus may be of more
importance than an entire temple,
and, as the late Marietta I’asha used
to suy, “it is certain that if ever one
of those discoveries that bring about
a ravoluiiou in science should be
made in Egyptology the world will
be indebted for It to a papyrus.”
No less than 3,700 mortuary stat
utes have been found which bear
royal cartouches and inscriptions.
Nearly 2,000 ottier objects have been
discovered. One of tho most re
markable relics is an enormous
leather tent, which bears tho car
touche of Kiog Pinotem, of the 21st
dynasty. This tent is in a truly
wonderful state of preservation. The
workmanship is beautiful. It is
covered with hieroglyphs most care
fully embroidered in rod, green and
yellow leather. The colors are
quire fresh and bright. In each of
me corners is represented the royal
vulture and stars.
Fifteeen enormous wigs for cere
monial occasions form a striking
feature of the Deir-el-Babor collec
tion. These wigs are nearly two
feet high, and are composed of friz
zled and curled hair. There are
many marked points of resemblance
between the legal institutions of an
cient Egypt and of England, For
instance, pleadings must be “tra
versed,’’“confessed and avoided” or
demurred to. Marriage settlements
and the doctrines of uses and trusts
prevailed in ancient Egypt, but the
wearing of these wigs was not exten
ded to the members of the legal pro
fession, but was reserved exclusively
for the princesses of tbe blood and
ladles of very high rank.
Greasy Creek, in ia one
of the latest natural wonders which
this country can boast of. We have
already, in response to those lands
which raise bread fruit and manna,
produced a spring whoso warm
waters are said to taste like turtle
soup; but now the Rey. John Yeatts,
a Baptist divine, is quoted as author
ity for a spring near Greasy Creek,
flowing forty gallons a minute, col
ored like apple cider, and tasking
like applejack. He saw hundreds
“lying” around tbe spring, in a state
of blissful 1 intoxication, laughing
and trying to slap their hands. The
name given to these springs is the
Millennium Springs; doubtless as
signifying that they bring back the
golden age. Some persons may re
fuse to believe in their existence;
yet no one can deny that the Rev.
John Yehtts Is a possible and plausi
ble name.
Sir James Paget, President British Med
ical Association, says that 70,000 deaths

THE UK.II I' UE ASYLUM.
The prosenoe in this country, at the
time of the Russian Nihilist assassin
Ilartmaou has been made the occa
sion of many newspaper articles and
some official correspondence, upon
the subject of his surrender, if
sought by Russia, and tbe gener
al merits of our extradition laws and
tho right of asylum. But we have
seen nothing ou the subject that
meets our approval more than the
following from the Mobile Register.
“We trust that the time will never
come when our country shall cease
to be a place of refuge for inose iu
foreign lauds whose only offence is
a political one. Revolution, or if
you please rebellion, committed iu
the light of idayfiis purely a political
orime if acrimo at all. In this coun
try we do not regard a struggle for
self-government, as a crime except
when it takes place in our own land.
Our sympathies have ever been exoi
ted for those who have escaped frutn
Austrian dungeons in days gone by;
for those who have fled Trout penal
servitude amid tbe wilds of biborla;
for those whose views have excited
the suspicion of the stem Bismarck
in Prussia; and for the sufferers
from misrule aDd oppression in Ire
land. To each and all of these we
havo extended a baud of greeting,
aud bidden them welcome to our
shores.”
It is a different thing, however, in
our opinion, In regard to those guilty
of political assassination. The Al
mighty has said, “Thou shall do no
murder,” and the awful thunders of
Sinai still reverberato through tho
universe, while its ten tables have
been the foundation of law, order
aud society. It is not surprising
that tile revolutionist that balieveß
in assassination is in general au
avowed infidel, and practically an
infidel, if not an avowed one, for the
command of the Almighty is clear
and distinct, and no amount of spe
cious reasoning can dull its force, or
cxcuso disobedience. Murder is mur
der, whether It be that of a prince or
a poasant, a serf or a czar. And the
crime of the political assassin is
of special enormity because it, is
always at tho risk of and frequently
includos the lives of others besides
the one aimed at. Who did not feel
for the Russian soldiers that were
blown up, killed, wounded, and mur
tilated at tho explosion at the Win
ter Palaco at St. Petersburg? Poor
fellows; they were but performing
their duty as faithful soldiers, aud
did not deserve such a fate.
We have been led to these reflec
tions by noting that David Dudley
Field has moved a resolution at tho
Cologne International Law Confer
ence providing that assassiuatiou
shall be excluded from the category
of political crimes and for the denial
of the right of asylum to assassins.
It is remarkable to note Unit this
resolution, introduced as it was in
an assemblage of wise juris
consults representing nearly evory
nation on the globe, was passed by
acclamation without a sound of dis
sent,, Coming, as tho resolution did,
from a distinguished American, it is
an evidence of the fact that the think
ing men of th s country do not wish
it to become a harboring place of
those who murder the name of free
dom, and givo additional force to
Madame Roland’s exclamation : “Oil
liberty ! bow many crimes are com
mittee in thy name.”
If anything were wanting to show
how unworthy what are termed poli
tical ttasasattisare of asylum, the con
duct of tho Socialists in Switzerland
would be sufficient. If their ability
were equal to tbeir will, probably
they would “blow up the hair of
Switzerland,” as they boast they oan
do, and thus show their appreciation
of tho asylum given them,
CONDITION OF THE PRESIDENT.
OPINION OF THE WASHINGTON CITY PRESS.
In an editoraJ this morning refer
ring to the President’s condition, the
National Republican said: “The sad
dest words that have been passed in
the United States for twenty years
would be those which would tell the
people the condition of t he President
at this hour. The official bulletins
from the White House are true in de
tails they give, but there is a genoral
belief tbat they are misleading by
reason of omissiohs and of general
ization, which the facts do not sus
tain. They are in strong contrast to
the sombre statement of the Secreta
ry of State to Minister Lowell last
evening. With affection for the suf
ferer, and with a solemn realization
of tho great calamity which it is evi
dent cuu not much longer be averted,
let the people honor him by imitating
bis fortitude in distress aud his pa
triotism in the time of great national
affliction.”
A MORE HOPEFUL VIEW.
This afternoon’s Star says, editori
ally : “The noon bulletin from tbe
White House to-day is decidely more
encouraging, and the public anxiety,
which has existed in so painful a de
gree tor a day or two past in regard
to the President’s condition, is again
measurably allayed, und lln-reuow
seems to be ground for a hope that he
may be able to pull through tho dan
gers yet to be encountered.”
A LYING MAN.
The Evening Critic talks es follows:
“Men have often recovered from
wounds relatively as i-ovore as that
suffered by tbe President, but the
conditions were not all identical with
those of the pending case, and the
difficulties were not cumulative. Tbe
President’s chance of recovery at the
outset lay iu the possibility of main
taining his strength by nourishment
and with it the all-important element
of his nerve and endurance. But his
deoline of nearly seventy pounds in
weight, accompanied with a debilia
tion of the vital forces of the system
even more than relatively, tell his
story bayond the power of the most
skillfully worded bulletin to contra
dict or gainsay. Therefore; not be
cause wo desire t) be sensational
but because we deem it a duty of
journalism to be candid, we reluctant
ly express at last the ead coovio’on
that poor Garfield is a dying man,
and that his departure from us for
ever is a question of days only, In
view of this prospect it beoomes tbe
duty of every patriotic citizen to face
the certainty of a change of adminis
trative head, and therewith to do all
in his power to uphold the hands and
empower the good will of the Presi
dent that is to be.”
There is no doubt but that tbe edi
torials of the Republican and Critic
reflect the opinion of nine-tenths of
the citizens of Washington; they
have lost hope of the President’s
recovery.
