AN UNCONSCIOUS THIEF. BY L. D. FUBBEB. Last summer I bad occasion to go West. In passing through Illinois, busi ness took me to the southwestern part ol tbe State—somewhat out of the general route of travel- and found myself one August evening, at tbe close of a day’s journey, in the village of C , an in- mate of tbe solitary house ot accommo dation for travelers the nlace could boast. The Washington Hotel—such was its dignified appellation—was simply a small country tavern; and tbe only apartment at the service of its guests throughout the day was tbe bar room, which served alike for parlor, dining room and reading room. I was tired and somewhat indisposed, and the noisy discussions of several of the village politicians, who congregated round the bar, were anything but agreea ble to me. The landlord perceiving this, hud the civility to invite me to spend the remainder ot the evening in the sitting room reserved for the female members of his family. Weil satisfied to escape from the dense atmosphere of tobacco smoke which filled the place, and the din and confusion 1 have spoken of, 1 readi ly accepted his offer, The only occu pants of the apartment into which 1 was shown were a middled-aged woman, the wife of the landlord, and two girls, her daughters—one almost seventeen, and the other a couple of years younger. ! Both were quite pretty, but tbe eldest, who had rather wild-looking eyes, was • somewhat pale, and did not appear to enjoy good health. I very soon discovered that, so far as quiet was concerned, 1 had not gained much by the change of rooms; lor when the mother found that I was from New York, she evinced so much curiosity with regard to the great eity, and commenced such a steady stream of questions about ; it—in which, after the first reserve had worn off, she was joined by her daugh ters —that I was not sorry when I heard , the clock strike ten, at which hour I pro posed to retire. I drew out my watch to compare the time, and then proceeded to wind it up. As 1 did so it attracted the i attention of each member of the family, i but especially of the eldest daughter, i whose eyes became rivited to it. It was, ; indeed, a very pretty trinket, the face ; being engraved with much taste,while on < the dial was a representation of a bultei- i fly, inlaid in enamel and encrusted with . diamonds. It was, in fact, a lady’s i watch, and belonged to my sister, who , had lent it to me tbe day I left New ; York, to replace my own, which I bad | carelessly let fall, breaking the crystal ( and spring, tbe very same morning—a misfortune which I had not time to re- , pair before my departure. ' Observing how much the young worn- , an I have spoken of admired the watch, , I banded it to her I hat she might examine , it at her leisure. Tbisshe proceeded to 8 do; and apparently would not have , wearied of looking at it had not her mother, in a few minutes, desired that it t should be returned to me. The girl re- t Inctantly replied; but 1 could see that a|- . most uncontrolable desires, which some- , times exercise an influence over young ( persons, had taken possession of her, and , it was with manifest effort that she re- ( placed the watch in my hand. As she t did so she inquired the value of it, and ( when informed, a deep sigh escaped her’ , as she possibly reflected upon the im probability of ever being able to com- ‘ mand the means of obtaining the covet- ‘ ed article. I really felt moved by her evident distress, and regretted that I had, although unvoluntarily, been the cause of it. ‘ I retired soon after to my chamber, ann did not awake till broad daylight the next morning. My first impulse was, as usual, to 1 >ok at my watch to as certain the hour. I stretched out my hand to the table by the side of the bed, on which I had placed it the night be- ' fore, but to my astonishment it was no longer there. Jt had disappeared. But 1 how? That was a puestion which I im- ‘ mediately sought to determine. I ex- I amined the door which led into the hall; the lock was still fast, the key in it, and ■ the bolts remained exactly as I had left them. The windows were nearly twenty ! feel from the ground, and of course, in accessible, except by means of a ladder. ; Even then it would have been impossi ble for any one to enter by them, as they 1 were crossed by wooden bars(ihe rooms i had doubtless, at one time been used as a < nursery for children) firmly nailed to the wood-work on either side, at inter- i vals, which precluded the passage of a human being. At the other end of the i chamber was a door, similar to the one which opened into the passage, commu- < nicating with the next room. I exam- I ined it carefully; it was fastened on the I other side, and from the dust which had < accumulated round the lock, appeared i not to have been used for some time, i fcstill I was forced to tbe conclusion that ■ whoever had obtained access to my , apartment had done so through that en trance, since, so far as I could see, it was i a physical impossibility for any one to enter by any other means. I resolved, therefore, to ascertain immediately whether the adjoining room bad had an occupant the previous night. On descending to breakfasti commus nicated my loss to the landlord, and was instantly convinced by the manner in which he received the news that he, at least, was totally innocent of complicity pf the affair. Indeed, he appeared much distressed, and eyen more perplexed than I was, to conjecture how the theft could have been accomplished. I thougnt it advisable to make some inquiries, cau tiously, before I informed tbe landlord of my suspicions, and the event proved the wisdom of my conduct. I therefore asked him, as carelessly as I could, who occupied tffe room next to mine. ? -'“Why, my two girls,’’ he replied; “them as you seed in the parlor last night. Mary Jane—she’s my eldest gal was almighty took with that ere watch of yours. Rer sister, fletsey, was saying this morning that she talked about it most an hour last night, after they went to bed. She’ll be real sorry to hear you have lost it.’ ! Before “mine host” had finished speak* ing I had pretty well made up my mind that 1 was indebted to the Baid Mary for the loss I had experienced; and there was. to me, something almost touching in the un* conscious simplicity with which her lather furnished details which tended to confirm my suspicions. It was clear that no idea of the possibility, even, of her being sus pected had. or could, enter his mind, 1 saw the affair was one in which 1 must proceed wi h caution. To accuse the young woman on no better evidence than I possessed, would have been the extreme ot folly, and would, most probably have exposed myself to the indignation ot her friends, who might, perhaps, express their sense of the falseness of Hie accusation, by quietly lynching me. Nevertheless, to submit to so sei J »us a loss (the watch was worth at least three hundred dollars) with* out an effort to recover it, was not at all a thing 1 was disposed to do. My principal reliance was upon a hope I entertained, that the girl, having yielded in a moment of weakness, to an almost irresistible temptation, might already have repeated of her error, and be anxious to restore my property, it she could do so without detec tion. To afford her such opportunity, I caused a notice to be put up in the bar room, stating that fifty dollars reward would be paid for the recovery of the watch, and adding a pledge that, in case it were returned, no steps would be taken to ascertain the name of the culprit. 1 have always piqued myself upon my skill in physiognomy, notwithstanding Shakespeare has declared that “Ibat in no art to read tbo mind's constru tlon in the face,’’ and I sought an early opportunity of put* ting my ability to the test, by discussing the subject of my loss in the presence of the the young woman to whom 1 attributed it. Nothing could exceed the coolness with which she listened to lie conversation. Il was impossible to delect the slightest man* ifestation ot guilt, or even embarrassment, in her manner; and 1 was compelled to ar rive at the conclusion that my suspicions were unfounded, or the object ot them possessed a most extraordinary power of dissimulation—in either case, the chances of my reco /ering the watch were slender in the extreme. 1 concluded, however to remain a couple of days more at the house, with a more faint hope, though very slight expectation, that I might obtain some ciue to the matter. That night I again retired to rest in the same chamber. 1< am, and always nave been, a very light sleeper; and I was awakened some hours afterwards by the sound of a door creaking on its hinges, which was succeeded by some one walking with bare feet across the carpetless floor. 1 sprang up in a moment, grasped with one hand the revolver which lay beneath my pillow, and with the other reached out to me table, seized a match and lighted the lamp. When I had done this, which scarce ly occupied ten seconds, I saw, at a few paces distant, a female figure clad in a wh te night dress, which 1 recognized as that ot Mary Jane. Her eyes were wide open and fixed full upon me; in her hand she held my watch, and advancing slowly to the table, placed it upon it. She then, after pausing for a siiort time before the mirror, retraced her step toward the door which communicated with her own apart ment. My first impression, when 1 recognized the figure, had been that the girl had, on reflection, become conscience-stricken, and riad adopted this means of restoring my properly; but I almost instantly became aware, irone her evident unconscousness of my presence, and the peculiar glazed iook her eyes presented, that she was in a state ot somnambulism, and it was now) clear to me that tbe intense desire felt by the young woman to possess the watch had impressed itseii so strongly on her sleeping thoughts tbe previous night, that she bad—being then in the same abnormal condition ot mind in which I now saw her—carried away the coveted article; and, on waking, as is frequeut in such cases, the proceedings of the night had completely passed Irom iier mind—not having even the impres sion ot a dirnly-remembered dream. But this night, on again returning to the same mental condition, sne had resumed the train ol thought at the point where she had left it, and hence her presence in my cham ber. I was aware that it was considered dan gerous to awaken persons when in this con dilion; 1 was careful, therefore, not to move until she had quitted the room. I then, for fear she might again possibly attempt to visit my apartment, placed the bureau against my door, and resumed my inter rupted repose. Tbe next morning I sought a private in terview with the landlord, and, to bis in tense astonishment, displayed the watch, and detailed to him the particulars with respect to its recovery. I concluded by cautioning him not to mention the matter to his daughter, as tbe effect ol the revela tion that she was subjet t to the disease might have an injurious effect upon her nervous system. I also suggested the ad visability of consulting some physician about her immediately. That noon I re sumed my journey, not a little pleased that 1 had been so fortunate as to escape the loss I had anticipatad, and which, but lor the lucky accident which impelled the sleeping girl to enter my room tbe second time, 1 should not have Hone. A Woman’s Ideas on Stocking and Pretty Feet. “Next time you visit a bath resort,” says a lady contributor of the San Francisco Chronicle, “look at the dozens of different limbs splashing around and you will real iz.e that to properly study the stocking question you should begin at a watering place, “When Miss Slimshanks goes in bathing she wears ringed stockings. This is not because she is a belle, but because those kind make her legs look larger. “Longiudmal stripes, on the contrary, are the especial property ot women of forty who are lair and lat; aud streaked and specled hose are generally worn only bv those who do not understand the real pow er of a pretty leg "Tbe girl with a pretty limb encases it in a plain tint—flesh, rose or light blue. That shows tbe fuil contour and outline against the water back-ground. “The same rule that applies to bathing custom and costumes applies to everyday lite. For this reason: A girl when she bathes dresses her leg for show. So she does in ordinary every day life. The only difference is that in one she shows it and in the other she doesn’t. But accidents will happen, and most women like being prepared tor them. “A girl who wears black stockings is either decidedly wicked or so old that she knows her legs are not of interest to an ob serving public. “Plain white are the most seductive. A glimpse of a dainty black boot capped by a tew inches ol snowy stocking vanishing amid mysterious and rustling masses of white skirtings more enthralls men than the glance of a'flirting eye or the tremor of a ruby lip. “Neglected wives, let me give you a point: Encase yourselves in a dainty wrappar, and leave it open six inches at the bottom, so you can show your feet. Pul on a pretty low-cut slipper, and spend more taste upon the stockings you wear than you do now upon the the ribands in your hair. “Show those same feet unontenlatiously; in fact bashfully, to the lord of the house, keep them before his eyes, dress yonrseit so on every opportunity, and keep it up, and then mark my words, no other woman can ever touch his fickle heart. “When poets like Swinburne. Tennyson and Oscar Wilde sing about kissing the ‘dainty, swilt, white feet,’ of the women they love, they betray their sex. lien do like pretty feet and legs, and will to the end of the world.” COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 80.1882.

Widow Appledore’s Romance BY ELIZABETH CUMMINGS. “A man that thinks of nothing but pep’mint oil and the price of wheat! No! Emma Jane; m» lie has been humdrum enough without my ending it with Deacon Bliss. 1 shan’t have him!” “Well, well. Risetta, if you won’t I don’t know’s anybod’s woiu’ ter try an’ make you,” chirped plump, rosy Mrs. I’liiox, looking up from tue stout blue woolen sock she was knit dug'. “I s'pose the deacon thought he’d a right to ask you, seein’ it’s a free country. Caleb Appledore w<s a awful nice man, but so’s the dea con. Lone wimmen are put on. Job Whittamore neglects your gard ing, an’just see what work you have with your fires winters an’ keepin’ rods broke out.” “I’m not going to marry just to have some one to tend tlie garden and do the chores,” said Mrs. Apple dore, “I've never found fault with them that’s dead and gone, but I know what it is to live with a person who does not care two pins for the things I do. and if I ever do marry again it will be some one who can sympathize with me. 1 can’t say I swallow all ’Las Bradshaw says about the marniu’ of souls and and affinities, but there’s some truth in it you may depend. Besides, I’d like a little romance in mv life before I die.” "Romance is all well ’nuff,” sakl Mrs. Pillox. you’re thirty-nine next March.

Bein’agood provider, an’ a splendid farmer, an’ a deacon, ttu’ a piller in the church may n >t be ro mantic.but they're good recommends iu a man you’re thiukin’ of marryin’. I hope you’ll think twi •?.” “1 have thought, and I shan’t mar ry the deacon,” said Mrs. Appledore, deci.-ively; “and if that’s being ro mantic, I’m not ashamed of it.” The little widow did not look ro mantic. Iler complexion was a dull white, and her hair was a dull brown. Dull, too, were her large gray eves that blinked behind short sighted glasses, but her form, though meagre aud devoid of cu ve, was not without grace, and she had a clears, sweet soprano voice which, t’u ugh it was untrained, she could use with taste and feeling. The Harmonieum, tlicDixvill musical as lociation. made 11- r the h ad of all their committees, ind relied upon her to sing all the solos. Indeed, wi hout her it couid not nave existed. The wheezy tn •- lodeon, which was a dozen years old before it became the prope ty of the society, had at last collapsed und r the energetic fingers of Professor Jackson Jones, who did the accom panying, and they were trying to buy a piano. They had given c mcerts and had oyster suopers till Dixvill was tired, when Dr. Ollapod sug gested a lecture. It was winspered that ihe doctor had expect d the ccmmittee to invite him to re id one of his pap rs on the Semitic tongues ; but if he did tie was dissappointed. They correspond-d with many popular lectureis, who all declined to visit Dixville on the plea of en gagements, andttie committee at last invited a certain Professor St. Clair Smith, about whom they knew noth ing save that he had lectured m the neighbotingvillages with acceptance, to address them. The Professor had suddenly appeared in Dixville mounted on a fine gray horse. The i ext day he was seen to enter the Post Office with a green bag on his at m, and the gossips immediately reported that he was wealthy and had come fi om Boston. He at once accepted tne invitatian of the Har rnonicum Committee, and announced that his lecture would be ou ihe “Philosophy of Art.” The meeting house was Mrs. Appledore with a sele< t few began practicing some music for the occasion. It was the afternoon before the lec ture, and Mrs. Apoledore had invited her sister to spend the day with her Domestic duties seems to be just a hat Mrs. Phlox was made for. Her husband and sist -r usually did all her thinking. In return she served them w,th her hands; but the few notions that did creep in o her round head sue clung to pertinaciously. “Tne worst kind of a fool is a beetle hi aded one,” she said, after a long pause, “an’puttin’this an’ tha to gether, Rosetta, I think you’re pre parin’ with your romancin’ to be just that kind of a one.” ‘ I don't see how sisters can bs so unlike,” and Mrs. Appledore drum med a barsti accompaniment to. her words on the middle C of her piano. “ i’o be sure, you are the oldest; but ag“ need not make one’s soul a clod.” “It would be well for you to re member that all the advantag s are not on your side,” cried Mrs. Phlox, rising with dignity. “There are bod ies, yes, and dispositions that are clods,” and Mrs. Phlox jerked on her calash and went home. The meeting house was full, and tbe next day the Dixville limes de clared the lecture to have been a most soulful and eloquent disserta tion. but Mrs. Appledore’s attention wandered, and she only knew tnat the entertainment was about to be concluded by Dr. Ollapod’s sonorous CaII for “inoosic,” “I am delighted,” said Pro'essor St. Clair Smith, bowing low before her as soon as possible after the ‘moosic,” “I never heard such a de licious voice.” . Mrs, Appledore coughed behind her hand to conceal her flattered em barrassment, and turned a question inn look on Professor Jackson Jones, who stood near. “You always sing splendid,” said the gentleman, drawing himself up. “I dare say I put you out. That flute obligato is a deuced hard thing to do. I didn’t do myself justice to nigHt.”, “You ve always dragged,” satd Karl Leopold, who took every op portunity to criticise the Harmoiti cum doings. Professor Jackson Jones, pulled at his cravat, and Mrs Appledore’s face was full of resentment. “I never heard anything finer in Boston,” said Professor St. Clair Smith, coming to the rescue, “and I suppose youknow what that implies.’ The night after the lecture was a very stotmy one, and Mrs. Apple dore whs slowly twisting her hair in crimping-pins when the door-bell rang, “I could not endure the lone liness of the hotel, dear Mrs. Apple dore,” said Professor St, Clair Smith, making a courtly bow, “and have come to beg for just one song.” The professor was, so far as out line and coloring go, a handsome man. His head was what is com monly called dome-shaped. His wavy hair and silky beard were a bright yellow red, and his rather large eyes were blue. He sat down in a big rocking-chair, and taking a twin on each knee, "1 renew my you h in children,” lie cried, giving them a squeeze' “Do you know the song,‘The old times were tl. ■ b st times when you and I were y mg.” “Oh, yes,” said the widow, nerv ously turning over her music, “but I can’t say that I feel so very old,” “Dear me, what a blunder L am,” cried the professor. “I was thinking of my boyhood. I’ve aways hated being grown up. A man ha- so much to fetter his imagination. You must have lost your husband in the first flush of your youth,” “I did,” murmured the widow, forgetting that she was tiiirty live when the event occurred. “The twins were babes.” Song succeeded song till the proles sor proposed duets, and Mrs. Apple dore enjoyed the music so much that it was midnight before she knew it. Two months pas ed awav. The professor came almost every even tig. He had hired a small house a little out of town that, he might be undis turbed he explained, and a r-lative had come ta keep house for him He did not know how long he would re main in Dixville. He was preparing a book for publication and wri ing several new lectures. When his li'- erary labors were over he was going to take a trip somewhere and re.-t, though friends of his influ utial at Washington were anxious for him to accept a consulship at an important point. The widow's neat white cottage stood bv itself on the coniines of the ▼allage. De icon Bliss’ti Ids of dark green peppei mint and nodding wheat stretching -d ng the country ro>d f >r nearly a mile joined 'he garg“U. Be fore her abrupt refu-al of him, the deacon had been accustomed to drop in for a little visit or to bring a neigh borly offering of apples of fresh vege tables. But these calls had ceased ai.d cut off from all her s urces of news and p easure Mrs. Appledore stayed closely at home, practiced her music and entertained the professor. But one sun-hiny afternoon Mrs, Pulox came blushing up the t rim graveled walk. “Rosetta Appledore,” she charped like an angrv olue jay, as she opened the door, “though a clod, which there are folks that think diff rent, I’ve come to ask you if you know you’re the town talk?” “The town talk?” echoed her as tonished sister. “Yes, the town talk,” repeated Mrs. Phlox, with wonder ul ernsha sis. “Anybody would be who had spent two tdessed months philander in’ with a married man..’ “Who is married?” “Your Professor Smith!” “I don’t believe it.” “I s’posed you wouldn’t, but I’ve , seen his wife.” said Mrs Phlox, vyith evident satisfation. “Miss Merrills, i she ’twas Pearly Ann Truesdale, wouldn’t miss a lindin’ out anything if she bad to walk te i miles, an’ she called on her and told me, I’hat night I sez to John, ‘John,’ sez 1, ‘a sister’s a sister, ’specially if she’s young r an’ a widder, an’if Ibe a i clod I’m goin' to the bottom of thisi ‘an’,’sez he,'Emma Jane, I think you’d bet er,’‘an’the ti-.st thing lie did the next mornin’was to hitch up an’ take me over on the mile-stripe where that fel.er lives, in Tony Ale - ton’s cottage, He wa n’t in, but she was, an’she was washin’. "I’m Miss Phlox,” sez I, “and I ■ corne t< call.” “Thank you,” s z she, “I’m Miss Smith,” and she set - out the only chair there was in the room for me and set herself down on the wash bench. “Air you Miss St. Clair Smith, wife of the professor,” sez I 1 “A sort ot smile twinkled over lr-r i mou h and she sez, ‘Yes. Miss St. . Clair Smith, though I didn't know : Mr. Smith had adopt d the St. Cl dr name. That’s my family name.’ An’ then she went on aud spoke of i her husband, an’ of how ambitious he is, an’ how tie tee s ids spear in pub lie life, an’how she is wi lin’ to do . any thing to help him. An’then she i inquired if I thought she could get I sewin’ in Dixville when she was able to do it.” Tears of shame and anger gither ed in Mrs. Appledore’s eyes as her ; sister spoke. “Is Mrs. Smith good I looking? Is she an interesting worn- , an?” she asked. “I can’t say how in’eresting she is. She seems kind of trod on, so to speak, As for looks, she ain’t any piettier’n you’d be if you worked hard an’ didn’t have half enough to eat,” said Mrs. Phlox, calmly'. Mrs. Appledore sobbed aloud. “What do people sty about me? Wbat shall I do?” she cried. “They don’t say nothin’ yet, on’y that you’re dreadful foolish,” chirp ed her sister, rising and putting on her calash, for it was almost supp-r time. “I can’t say as I know of any thing for tou to do except to tell Mr. S tilth to stay’t home. ’Taint likely Deacon Bliss will give you a chance to say yes a second time.” There had been a great deal of pleasurable excitement in receiving tne visits of the proses-or. To dress herself in her b st mourning, and to sing her favarite songs to an appre ciative listener had been something to look forward to during the hum drum work of the day. The thought, however, of what tier acqu .intances were saying about her embittered her life, and when the prose sor again called one gLnee at her face told him that she knew all. Dear Mrs. Appledore,” he began, but. she checked him. "You had better go home to vour wife, Mr, Smith,” she sai I co dly Tears, real tears, came into the professor’s big blue eyes. “But I love you.” he cried, “and she has al ways been an incubus upon my soul.” “But she’s your wife,” persisted Mrs. Appledore. “I know it,” moaned the professor, rubbing his brow distractedly. “It eats out mv vitals wtien I think of it. She don’t feel as I feel. There’s no wings for me as long as I am tied to her. We’ve no affinity.” Mis' Appledore gazed at him in dull wonder. These were almost the words she had used to her sister, but they did not sound pleasantly now. "I love you, Rosetta,” went on the little man, approaching her; “and I want to ask you just one question . Were I single man would youtnarry me?” “I might,” admitted the widow, smoothing down a fold in her over skirt with a trembling hand. “Enough!” and the professor flung his arm about her and pressed a rap turous kiss upon her forehead. “Bless you, my darling!” and before she could answer him he was gone. The next day ; when she was taking down her washing from the line sne was suddenly clasped from behind by a pair of strong aims. "You will soon be mine,” said the voice ot the professor. “I’ve offered my wife SSO to leave me aud she has accepted.” Accepted!” thewidow cried, wrenching herself free. “Yes, and as soon as I can sell my book she will go. I’ve lived in soul isolation long enough. My heart has found its mate.” AH the men tbat Mrs. Appledore knew were quiiut of speech and somewhat rustic in manner, but what they considered duty controlled their lives. “You wretch!” she cried, i dashing the dothes pin basket at I him. "Eitty dul ars! You ain’t ! worth fifty cents. Go home and nev er dare to speak to me again!” ''Hear me,” ha pleaded, catching hold of her j, wn, “Iciu’tstay out here and listen to phimn eriu’ talk,” sho answered resolutely, ana .witching her dress from his grasp sheeutered the house. B,t the pio t-ssor’s hand was upon the latch. Like most of the women, tile widow was a curious mixture of timidity and courage. She flung the door upon. “Don’t you dare 11 come in!” she cried. I’ll throw hot water on you I I’d—l’ll kill you!” Theo, slamming the door in his face, sho bolted it secure.y. All tn-: even' ig the protesor paced up ami (town Mte. Appleilore’s buck veraud*.

A Texas Wedding. San Antonio Express. Elwards keeps a restaurant at Monroe’s Camp, or Tunnel No, 1, near the Pecos. Adair is a Brackett saloonkeeper. Edwards has a daughter, who is also the bride of Adair. The wedding took place clandestinely Monday evening last, the bride returning quietly to her home after the ceremony. Thursday Adair desiered to claim his wife, but the old man had heard of tbe wed ding, and was waiting around tbe premises with a Winchester rifle, which rather complicated the situa tion, Dating the day, however, the bride eluded the vigilance of tbe old gentleman, and joined her hnsband, who was waiting near by with a bug gy, and the two started away; but the irate father-in-law was close af ter them —so closa that one shot from his Winchester laid tbe horse in his tracks, another embeded a bullet in the buggy, aud two others whistled uncomfortably close to the happy couple, who started to run away on foot, the groom firing a salute at the old man as ha retreat ed, The young lady was finally captured, and Elwards vamosed, and Adair retreated with the consol ing thought and determination to get even with the old man through the medium of a charge against him of assault with intent to kill. A Suggestion as to the State Conven tion. The Hon. L F. Garrard, ot Mus cogee, in reply to a letter requesting it, furnishes the following views on the Democratic S ate Convention : Columbus, Ga , April 11,1882 —Edi tors Coiiiililution: The alleged causes of Inuep -ndentism in Georgia, as 1 undeTß'aud them, are that lamina tions are made by caucuses, cliques and tings which do not properly rep resent the people for whom they c aim to act. I believe this charge is often made without reason, and at other times on very slight and tiivial grounds, and sometimes, perhaps, sincerely with good reason. But it is a seiious charge against the Democracy ot the State or Geor gia, and whether true or not deserves consideration when it is urged by gentlemen who claim to be true D mocrats. Tne question that naturally arises is; Can a better system be adopted wnieh will remove tans cause of com plaint? It is a maxim ot law that “when tbe reason ce .ses the law ceases,” iftid it is presumable that when the cause of complaint is re moved, the complaint will cease, and tbe main ground and argument ol the Independents will be removed. VVuatl would propose is this: That the St rte Executive Commit ee meet and consider the question of appor tioning delegates aud fixing a bisis ot representation tor the several counties in the State in the nominating convention. Let the ex ecutive committee take the returns ot some general election, in which a Democratic and Republican were voted for, aud ffnd out how many votes were east tor the Democratic candidate in each county, and then apportion to each county, on the basis of Democratic voters, ths num ber of delegates to which it is enti tled, say one delegate to every two or three hundred voters and fractions ’hereof, over half the number so Us ed. This would be fair and ixact justice,and nobody could complain. Tbe basis of representatives to which a county is entitled by law. Now, no county can have less than one representative, however small said county may be, and none over i hree, however large they may be. Therefore the small county is now entitled to two delegates, though it may not poll over four hundred democratic votes, while the largest county is entitled to six delegates, though it may poll four thousand democratic votes, and it may on the other hand happen that, the large county may be largely Republican, aud the sm ill county may be laigelj 7 Democratic; therefore I say the true basis of representation iu a Demo cratic eouV' ntlou should be the number of Democratic votes in each county. When a convention is assembled we may see the spectacle of a dele gate representing two hundred votes, cancilliog by his vote the vote of a del gat'j representing six hundred and sixty-six votes thus it might hap pen that a minority iu a convention might lie so constituted as to repre sent a large majority of the Demo cratic votes. This is wrong, and if possible ought to be remedied, The old anti doie fur this evil was the two third rule, but tue inclination seems to be to abolish this rule, and it it is not done away with, tue basis of rep resentation should certainly be changed. One great advantage to bs gained by making the number of de moeratie votes, the bases of representation, is that, even in an election, where there was no opposing candidate the stiength of tue party would be polled, for every democrat would teel that it wrs his duty to maintain or increase the representation ot his county, aud this would prevent the danger ot an opposing candidate be ing quietly brought out a lew days before the election with a view of surprising the party. Another alleged grievance is the improper use of “proxies,” Now, if the ballot is for a particular man, or set of men, no one of them lias a right to assign, as he would an old stock of goods, his right to represent iree men to some other person who imy, or who may not carry out iheir wishes, and perhaps may not live in the same county or feel any accountability to tne people so rep resented . If more than one delegate is select ed by a county let those who are ac tually present in the convention CKst tbe votes of the country. The coun ties could select alternates, aud, in this way insure being represented by some one that they actually se lected. I would further suggest that the Executive Committee name a day for tue Democrats ot each county to se lect a delegates in order that each county might act without outside in fluence, and the general result would be Known at once, and not have an agitation kept up throughout the Stale for a modth or six weeks. The question of whether the coun ties would nominate by a mass meet ing or by a primary ballot, .1 would leave to the wisdom of the people of each county to determine for them selves, lor my observation has bten that tne people are pretty well able to take cure of themselves. It public sentiment in a county de sired a primary election for dele gates, the Democrats of tbat county could easily have a meeting before the day named by the Executive Committee und determine the mode and manner of holding tbe same. By navieg tne delegates all select ed on the same day it will prevent the charge being mado tbat political tramps go from country to country to fix up the primaries, and as it may now happen when nearly all of tlie counties have acted, it will not be possible for the charge to be made tnat the “visiting statesmen” were “swarmed in” to carry the few re maining counties that may hold the balance ot power. Ido not admit the truth of these charges, but when it is so easy, 1 do say “avoid tbe appearance of evil.” These are mere suggestions tbat I throw out to be acted on or not, as the wisdom of the party may dictate it they are not thought worthy of consideration, 1 shall conclude that perhaps I have commuted an error in conceiving them. At any rate I snail not set my opinion up as infal lible and conclude tha; the balance of the party are wrong, and I do not believe that any appeal to tne young men of Georgia can lead them away from a party that redeemed the State from worse than Egyptian darkness, and in whose hands it will certainly be safer than any heterogeneous muss that can be collected to secure the State and Federal offices. The Democratic party in Georgia is a great party, and has been tne party of progress, under the rule of which Georgia has obtained and maintained a front rank in the sis terhood ot States, and it it ever falls, and God grant that it may not, it will fall from its own weight, and the Insidious designs of men who prefer office to the public welfare. I believe that if proper steps are taken, and safe guards are thrown around it, that it can and will live iu Georgia and that the tempting bau bles in the shape of federal offices may serve to capture a few men but not the masses. Lot us show to the world a party 'that will attack wrong in its own midst as quickly as if discovered in an enemy’s camp, and that will puri fy itself, if need be, and present a solid, organized front that will be invincible. Very truly. L juis F. Gabbard. - The New York'ZZeraW says that the bill now beloreC ingress, known as the bill "to amend the laws relating to the entry of distilled spirits in warehouses,” etc., contains the big gest steal of any one measure ever passed by Congress, not excepting the pacific railroad or credit mobil ler. The bill was reported frotn the committee of Ways and Means, aud Mr. Dunnell, wao offered it, sta’ed that it did nothing more than extend the period for the retention in ware houses of distilled spirits. Mr. White, if Kv., rose to debate it. The Speaker decided that ir, was not debatable. Mr. White demanded the yeas and nays, and again asked to be heard. The Speaker again rul ed him down, an t the bill passed without debate. The Herald says that the effect of the Dill, if it passes the S-nste and becomes a law, will be to keep in the warehouses 75.000, OdOgillons of whisky now stored there (chiefly in Kentucky) and en able manufacturers to realiz- at pres ent much higher prices than th, v could obtain if thi-i lipuor was now thrown upon the market: ami if a repeal or great reduction of the tax should bs made, they could cheat the government of titty millions ot dollars of ri venue.
