MINOR TOPICS.
“If this jury convicts my client,” said & Mis
souri lawyer, roiling up liia sleeves and display
ing his ponderous fiste, “I shall feel compelled
to meet each’ one and hammer justice into his
soul through his head.”
When Andover Theological Seminary called
Moses Stuart from the pastorate at New Ha
ven. the loud cry of the church was. “He can
-not ho spared.” Ur. Porter replied, “ A man
who can be spared we don't want.”
The Danbury Aewra states that a New Haven
editor spent last Sunday in Slawson and at
tended church. When the contribution box
came around he was in a dose, hut, on being
nudged, hastily exclaimed, “I have a pass.”
A quarrelsome couple were drscu-sing the
subject of epitaphs and tombstones, and the
husband said: “My dear, what kind of a stone
do you suppose they will give me when I die:-” j
“ Brimstone, my love," was the affectionate
reply.
The French Government, which pays a large
subsidy to the French Trans Atlantic Line, lias
exacted that the command of the new steamers
of the company be given to officers of the
mvv. It is very probable also that the steam
ers will cease stopping at Brest, as it is a loss j
of time without any compensating advantages. J
Brest, which it was hoped at one time might j
become a commercial port, does net appear to
have made any substantial progress towards
tliat end.
Scribner A Cos. have received a cable mes
sage from one of the most prominent of the
British publishers, accepting their terms for
the publication by subscription, in Great Bri
tain, of Kdward King’s book on “ The Great
Houth.” Mr. King's papers, which originally
appeared in Scribner's Monthly, seem to have i
been received with even more favor abroad
than in this country. The American Publish
ing Company, of Hartford, will bring out the
book tiers.
The present Congress contains seven negro
members, and the National Monitor predicts
that the delegation wall be largely increased at
the Fall elections. From the fourth of March
next, Mississippi will be represented in the
Senate for six years by a black Broca. He is a
bachelor, and would do well to remain so, as it
is generally understood that I'inchback’s Sena
torial aspirations were defeated by a conspiracy
of the Senatorial wives who couldn’t associate
with Mrs. Piuchback, although their husbands
passed the Civil Bights bill by a heavy ma
jority.
Some of the New York banks are about to
give up their entire circulation, and even con
template abandoning the National Bank sys
tem anil organizing under the laws of that
State. They are weary of being interfered
with. It is a good sign. The time is now
coming when under the redemption clause of
the new currency law the most independent
banking institutions will be those whose circu
lation consists of legal tenders and the cur
rency of other banks. Already it is evident
that the National Banks are beginning to feel
where the shoo will pinch.
The District of Columbia is practically with
out any government at the present time.
Messrs. Cattail and Dennison liavo not yet in
formed the President whether they will accept
or decline the appointin' nt of. Commissioners.
Mr. Blow, tho other Commissioner, according
to a telegram received from l.im, desires, be
fore ho gives an answer, to he furnished with
a copy of the act providing for the temporary
government of the District, and In bo informed
whether the duties of a Commissioner will re
quire a live or six months' ro.udenco in Wash
ington. His acceptance thus depends on busi
ness arrangements,
Tho heavy exports of wheat from California
during tho past, liscal year at tract more than
usual attention. The estimates for tho present
season present 490,000 tana of wheat, including
460,000 barrels of flour reduced to the equiva
lent of wheat. The last full cargo of the crop
of 1873 has been shipped, and estimates for
the ensuing year vary from 000,000 to 800,000
tons. Most of the wheat and flour shipped
has been, as usual, on European account. The
increxse in the amount of Hour shipped has
made a reduction of 20,000 tons in tho tonnago
that would have been required had the exports
been entirely in wheat, as was the case in for
mer years.
The new Bishop of Wisconsin, the Rev. Dr.
Welles, finds a benignant patron in the editor
of the Evangelist, who says : “Dr. Welles lias
been Secretary of tho .Minnesota Diocoso, and
its representative in General Convention, and
lias raised his present parish, since his first
connection with it in 1867, to a flourishing
church, with a dozou outlying missions, llis
o’lurclimanship is, we presume, of the con
servative sort. He will find plenty to do in
Wisconsin, for somehow neither ~nur own
church nor tho Episcopal has greatly flourish
ed thoro. Wo extend our Presbyterian hono
diction, liy way of completing his outfit.”
Albany now lias a prodigy in the person of an
Israelito bearing the name of Kauffman. The
Syracuse Journal gives this account of him:
“Ho is only ton years of ago, hut possesses the
ability, self possession, and priestly manner of
a man of forty. Last Saturday ho ofliciatod as
roador, and conducted tho services at tho Syua
goguo of the Now Beth Isiael, on Grape street,
in Syracuse, t > the edification ns well as amaze
ment of the largo audience present. Tho ser
vices were wholly conducted in Hebrew, and
tho scholarship displayed by tho young reader
is spoken of as something also remarkable. He
roads with a clear and strong tone of voice, and
manifests an entire familiarity with tho forms
and requirements of tho worship lie conducts.’
A New York letter says : “Inquiry among
the leading departments of wholesale busi
ness develops the oxistonoo of a very confi
dent feeling as to an early and active Fall
trade. The change for tlio better may bo said
to liavo even now tet in in some branches; for
example, the great hardware, boot and shoo
trades, and some descriptions of dry goods.
Even in tho best of time- the end of Juno is
proverbially dull. That is the condition now,
but, unless all the signs mislead, it is a condi

week the abundance of money on all hands,
from "July disbursments, will bo such as to
quiokou tho anxi ty to find profitable employ
ment'for it, anil this of itself will create busi
ness, oven where at present business is not.
The railroad war in Wisconsin is reaching
fever heat. Tho Madison Democrat says:
•• When the West Wisconsin Railway Company
secs its depot buildings smouldering ruins, its
track torn up and its bridges burned, it will
learn that it is dangerous to trifle with an out
raged public. We couusol moderation, and tho
certain, though remote relief tho laws afford,
but we understand the temper of the people
too well to suppose that they will listen to ad
vice when tlieir rights are being trampled on.

the grand entry of this remarkable person, had j

What a thing fame is! This is the way in
which one of ou" French contemporaries, the
describes that little difficulty at
Bunker's Hill: "Ou the 17th of June. 1773,
the American volunteers, commanded by Gen.
Artetuus Ward, attacked and thoroughly boat
the British troops near Charlestown, in Massa
chusetts 1” The .Vesstrxr means well, of
course, but then the American volunteers on
that occasion were not commanded by Gen.
Waul, they did not attack, but on the contrary
were attacked by the British troops, and they
did not beat, but on the contrary wore beaten
by the sail British troops. The peculiarity of
Bunker Hill is that it is the only defeat «hich
bas ever been celebrated as heartily as if it hail
been a victory. Suppose tho .tsm- m Htgishr
m Pans sere to speak of the 18th of June as
the anniversary of a battle in which the French
army, commanded by Gen. lloehe, and occupy
ing the village of Waterloo, was attacked by
the English army, and beat off its assailants
with tremendous slaughter.
As bold as a burglar is an old saying ; but
burg lars in Chicago are no match for bank
directors, when it comes to the real test of
bravery. The other, night three "crossmen"
broke into the restdeuce of Manuel Talcott,
Esq., ou tho West Side, Mr. Talcott is a Direc
tor of the First National Bank, and was for
some tune President of .the Board of Bailee.
He does not know what fear is. and when
awakened by ht» wife, he jumped out of bed
and went for those burglars in a way they de
spised. With a chair as his only weapon, he
advanced upon the thieving trio, one of whom
ordered a halt, or he would send the old gentle
man to eternity. Mr. Talcot; would not halt,
and tho burglar fired, but missed his mark.
One of the fellows was felled with the chair,
and ae the others turned to escape one of
them again tired at the old gentleman. For
tunately the hall tnis-e .1 Mr. Talcott, hut
struck a pei parrot, killing it instantly. The
fellows ran into the street. Talcott in his long
tailed night shirt, closely following them. The
noise they made awoke a policeman just in the
nick of time, and before they oooJo get out of
the way all three were captured.
AUGUSTA FACTORY.
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCK
HOLDERS.
Report of the President—Election of
President and Directors for the En
suing Year.
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Augusta Factory was held
in this city yesterday morning, at 11
1 o’clock.
On motion of Mr.W. E. Jackson, Gov.
1 Chas, ,T. Jenkins was called to the Chair
and Mr. Stoy requested to act as Secre
-1 tary.
The Secretary reported 3,104 shares
represented—a majority of the stock.
President’s Report.
The President, Mr. W. E. .Jackson,
read liis annual report, as follows:
Ahodsta, Ga., 30th June, 1874.
To the Stockholders :
I submit to you the result of the
operations of the company for the fiscal
year, ending 20th inst.; also, its financial
condition, together with a list of the
stockholders on that day.
In presenting this, my sixteenth an
nual report of the earnings, etc., of the
company, I regret to say the past year
has not been a successful one. The I
financial troubles of last Fall found us
with a good supply of manufactured
goods for the business of the season, but
prices gave way rapidly, and have not
yet recovered, while cotton maintained
pretty well its price. The productions |
of several mills were sold gt about the ;
cost.

Our new machinery and improvements
have all been received and settled for,
with the exception of two pickers ; and I
which, in the aggregate, cost consid- i
erahly more than originally expected ; a j
portion of it is now working, and the re- i
mainder will soon he ready for work.
The heavy outlay for machinery and
improvements has almost exhausted our
commercial capital, and as the increased
machinery will require additional means
to conduct the business successively, a
permanent loan, in some form, for a few
j years, will be necessary.
At your meeting in December last, the j
probable want of additional commercial i
capital was made known, and the Board
| of Directors were authorized to issue
bonds to the extent of 8300,(XX); this has
not yet been done, as from Ist January
to Ist April last the business was better
than at any portion of our year, and j
; hopes were entertained we might avoid j
: the necessity for doing so, but since j
! April the business lias not been profit- j
j able, and the necessity arises for the j
I loan. I therefore suggest you pass
again the resolution of December last, j
authorizing the President, and Directors j
to issue bonds to the extent of $300,000.
Our cash expenditures for new ma
chinery, real estate and improvements,
since last June, has been about $210,000;
and the whole, for enlargement and im
provements, have been in round, figures, '■
about $1150,000 —and when the new uia- i
[ chinery is at work, and there is any mar- j
gin between the cost of production and ;
| the selling prices, we should increase j
quite rapidly our commercial capital, j
i The whole property is in most excellent \
| condition, anil in my estimation very
valuable. Respectfully submitted,
W. E. Jackson, President.

On motion of Mr. T. G. Barrett, the
reported was adopted and ordered
spread on the minutes.
In consonance with the suggestion of
the President, the resolution of December
last, providing for the issuance of
bonds, wiy* ve-adopted.
Major ,T. B. Gumming moved that the
Board of Directors consist of live mem
bers—a President and four Directors.
Carried.

ing Board of Directors: W. E. Jackson,
President; C. ,T. Jenkins, ,T. B. Gum
ming, T. G. Barrett, F. Phinizy.

Resolution of Respect.
Mr. W. E. Jackson offered the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted by a rising vote:
Jirsolral, That the company, since
the last meeting of the stockholders, has
lost, by the death of Mr. Edward
Thomas, one of its original members,
one of the most faithful and intelligent
guardians of its interests and good name.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
The amount of money made by the
Augusta Factory since it came into the
hands of the present company is some
thing almost marvelous. Only sixty
thousand dollars were ever paid in, aud
yet from this comparatively small sum
the company lias paid out dividends to
its stockholders siiice the war to the
amount of one million and sixty-eight
thousand dollars, has to-day property
worth OLe million two hundred thous
and dollars, at the smallest calculation,
and a surplus of over two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Few institutions
can make such a showing as that.
Splendid Specimen of Wor.KMANsHiP.
—Mr. Michael J. Toohey, who has
charge of the Chronicle A Sentinel
Bindery, has just turned out, in the
shape of a full set of blank books, the
finest specimen of book making which it
has ever been our privilege to examine.
The books are bound in full Russia —
bands, ends and fronts. The edges are
beautifully marbleized. The paper is of
the finest quality, and the books 7 as a
whole, are equal to the best that are
manufactured North. Mr. Toohey has
demonstrated the fact that home talent
is equal to our wants in this particular
We again call the attention of mer
chants, county officers, bankers and
others to the facilities which the Chron
icle and Sentinel has for promptly aud
satisfactorily filling orders for blank
books, etc., etc. All work will be done
not only as well but as cheaply as it can
be done North or South.
Grangers Convention. —The Conven
i tion of Grangers and Planters who re
side in the vicinity of Augusta, or who
trade with Augusta, will assemble at the
City Hall in this eity, on the Bth inst.
The meeting will be one of considerable
interest, aud the attendance will doubt
i less be large. Arrangements will be
made to give the delegates a cordial re
i eeption, and it is expected that the Con
vention will accomplish much good for
i those in whose interests it is called.
Ge«. Toombs at Athens.—On the
evening of the 28th nit. a number of
University students and citizens called
on Gen. Toombs, who was in the town—
the guest of W. L. Mitchell, E-q.—for a
speech. The General responded as fol
lows :
“Gentlemen—l bad hoped to escape
talking to-night, as I came here entirely
on business, part of it being that of
your own College. Forty years ago next
Thursday I came here as a Freshman.
That was u primeval day of our Univer
sity. Our mail was transported by
means of the mule and wagon or by the
two-horse stage. But a great change
has taken place. Now you may send
your letters home in a third of the time,
and daily trains are dashing along with
resistless speed, bearing the produce of
this before isolated region. This is but
oue of the improvements of this age.
Hundreds of others invite yonr atten
tion, calling upon yon to come and
gather the fruit while it is yet ripe. And,
gentlemen, my parting words to you are,
that you embiace every opportunity,
and each of you may some day fill a va
cant niche in the temple of fame.”
Mr. Mitchell, in answer to calls, said :
Gentlemen—l heartily endorse every
sentiment of my honored guest. 1 can
only repeat to you his advice. Gentle
men, at the next meeting of the trustees
we hope to establish the University on a
surer basis than it has ever been; raising j
its standard to a nobler, a grander, a j
purer height than it has ever been be
fore. Gentlemen, my parting words !
are—“ Remember the advice of General j
Toombs.”
So Fate, Yet False; or, “FourquoL” |
By Eugene Chavette. A novel trans
lated from the original French, by O. !
Vibeur: G. W. Carleton <k Cos., Pub
lishers, New York.
This famous book was pronounced by \
the New York Herald correspondent,
writing from Paris under date January !
3d, 1874, one of the five best novels :
which appeared in that city during the
past year. Theobjectof the plot,which is
quite ingeniously constructed, is to as
certa n whether or not one of the ehar
araeters has committed a certain crime,
and if so, “Why ?” The story is worked
out mainly in sprightly conversations,
which keep the reader amused as well as
interested during the various and thrill
ing incidents through which the climax
is finally reached. The introduction of
the ground plan of a building, in which
several of the most important events
transpire, is a novel idea and assists the
reader materially; and for a bit of broad
humor, we hardly remember having
ever read anything to equal the story of
the tiger-liunt. This volume is pub
lished nniform with “She Loved Him
Madly,” another novel from the French
by the same careful translator, 0. Vi
beur.
Tho book is for sale in Augusta by
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton.
The Atlanta University.—We have
received a catalogue of. the officers and
students of the Atlanta University, col
ored. Tiie whole number of students in
attendance is about two hundred. The
institution is doing well. Col. Jones, of
the Telegraph and Messenger, who was
present at the examination of some of
the students, states that tho exercises
were of the most astonishing anil satis
factory character. He says : Indeed we
were not at all prepared for the erudi
tion and proficiency in their studies,
manifested by many of the .students.
Four girls, examined by the President,
Mr. Ware, on the “Theory and Practice
of Teaching,” gave the views of the au
thor in well selected and appropriate
language, aud sustained themselves witli
great credit. A class of ten young men
also read and construed portions of the
Euied of Virgil with ease and facility,
anil so also of the classes in mathe
matics, history, Greek, geography,
etc., it may ne truly said, with few ex
ceptions, they acquitted themselves
most creditably.
Robert P. Sibley, Esq.—This young
and enterprising townsman of ours, to
whom the hi . H compliment of an elec
tion to the Presidency of the Round
Mountain Coal and Iron Company of
Alabama was paid on the 9th nit., left
last evening for Charleston cn route to
New York. He will take passage on the
steamer Manhattan, which sails at nine
o’clock this p. m.
Mr. Sibley visits tho metropolis in the
interest of the corporation he represents.
He expects to be at his post in Rome
by the 20th instant.
The Chronicle and Sentinel has
already spoken of Mr. S. in what was
regarded terms of deserved praise. It
only remains to reiterate the confidence
expressed in his ability and tho hope as
to his future.
Elbebton District Conference. —The
Conference was held at Elberton, com
mencing on 25th nit. There were present
twenty-one ministers and forty-three lay
delegates. Bishop Pierce was present,
presided with his accustomed ease, and
preached most powerfully and effectively.
The Gazette says the District embraces
what might.be known as the Savannah
river valley, including the counties of
Lincoln on the south, Jackson on the
west, and Rabun on the north, and in
tervening counties, and is becoming one
of the most interesting fields of culture,
either in a religious, commercial or po
litical point of view, in the State.
Struck the Flag. —The last red flag,
sign of that most loathsome of diseases
which has prevailed in the lower portion
of our city for some weeks past, has
been removed. We congratulate those
who were exposed to the disease and es
caped it, as well as those who had it,
and who, under the Providence of God
and the attention of skillful physicians
and careful nurses, have recovered.

The Shooting of George F. Long, of

ally Endorsed.
[From the Memphis Appeal ]
Tusccmbia, June 28.—Tuscumbia, if
we except Salem, down east hard by
Boston, is the oldest town in America.
It was finished, fenced in, and labelled
“ done for” forty years ago. Thirty-five
years ago it was famed as a resort for
young ladies who proposed to shine in
fashionable life, but the polishing school
lost its sheen, and Tuscumbia had noth
ing left of which it might boast, save its
melodious Indian name, significant of
the flower-clad forest that hedges in the
waters of the Tennessee. It is as quiet
a town of old, unpainted dwellings and
moss-covered roofs as one will encounter
anywhere in the South. The people
walk about very slowly, and have as
little to do or think about as denizens of
Sleepy Hollow. They are a prayerful,
church-going people, distinguished
everywhere for intelligence, good breed
ing and good morals. When, therefore,
a man is shot down on the streets in
Tuscumbia, absolute amazement must
possess everybody and extraordinary
provocation must have begotten the
dreadful deed.
THE FACTS.
More than a year ago Geo. F. Long,
of this place, began to evince a show of
affection for Miss Sloss, the youthful
an.l attractive daughter of the present
member of Congress from this district.
When Mr. Sloss discovered the facts he
objected to any intercourse whatever
between his daughter and the young
gentleman. The latter was deeply in
censed, and accustomed to denounce
the father, and assert unworthy acts on
the part of the daughter. His language
was such, and his assertions were so
commonly known, that the pretty girl
had withdrawn from society, and led a
life of perfect seclusion. Meanwhile the
father was in Washington. He came
home Friday afternoon, and heard the
whole story from his family ana friends.
Long was advised to leave Tuscumbia,
and said to-day, just before he was shot,
while sitting in front of Avdlett’s Hotel,
that he “never expected to spend an
other Sabbath in Tuscumbia,”
HE NEVER WILL.
Rising from his seat, he went into the
bar room, drank a glass of ale, and
sauntered along leisurely down the side
walk. He turned to th • right, and was
going toward his home, ami at the very
instant that he touched his hat and
bowqd to a friend approaching him a
gun was fired from the second story win
dow of Warren’s score, on the opposite
side of the street, and Long fell, two
buck shot penetrating his body, oue
passing through his neck, hut failing to
touch the artery, aud another entering
the skull just behind the left ear. He
fell, bleeding profusely. Ex r en now a
broad, blackened mark of blood extends
across the brick sidewalk, and stains the
sand in the gutter. liong was soon re
moved to his home, and Dr. Abernathy
and other surgeons sent for, but their
skill can avail nothing. The young man
is surely dying. He said just now that
he thought he was shot by young War
ren, a nephew of Colonel Sloss but
since it was Colonel Sloss himself, it was
“all right.” Nothing could justify
Long’s assaults upon the girl’s honor,
and
NO ONE CONDEMNS COLONEL SLOSS.
The manner of killing is generally dis
approved. I heard it commonly said
that if the deed had been done the day
Colonel Sloss reached hom», there would
have been never a question as to the
propriety of his conduct. He had the
perfect right, it is argued, and properly,
to regard the man a savage wild beast
who traduced his daughter, and if he
killed Long as soon as he was satisfied
the girl had been assailed by the breath
of slander, there is an enil of it. In
any event Sloss need never fear a jury,
oue of its members having a daughter.
If Sloss had taken the gun into the
street and gone through the form of tel
ling Long to “defend” himself, there
would never have been even the form of
a trial. But we can’t reason about a
matter of this sort. He who wrongs a
woman’s fame deserves death, and tint’s
the proper verdict of juries and of man
kind. Mr. Long was often told that he
should leave Tuscumbia before Sloss
came home. He had at length agreed
to go away, and in this confessed his
guilt and admitted the propriety of
Colonel Sloss’ conduct. Long was
wholly fearless, and it was only because
urged to do so by his friends, of whom
he has many here, that he hail consented
to leave Tuscumbia. His father and
kindred are excellent people, anil it is
only said of the young man in deroga
tion of his worth that he had been a vil
lage idler for some months. An idler
will talk too much, and if he habitually
air his eloquence in front of the corner
grocery there is often death and damna
tion in very innocent words that bubble
up from fountains of whisky.
LONG MAY DIE
Within the hour in which he was shot,
and within which this is most hurriedly
written, and he may survive one or two,
or even three days. No vital organ is
touched, but die he must. Such wounds
in such weather must prove fatal. Col.
Sloss is in charge of the sheriff, and one
of his deputies occupies the room from
which he tired upon Long.
a bloody spot.
Desperate deeds have distinguished
the spot whereat Long fell. Bayless
MortoD, even '•here, on the self-same
sidewalk, shot Mr. Henderson ; a negro
was killed on the same identical spot,
and a man was stabbed to death one
hundred yards away, and the bloody
knife of the assassin was found hard by.
These were incidents of the devilish
period of infernal “reconstruction,” and
it is only singular that Long fell on this
fatal spot. X.
WASHINGTON NOTES.
The District Commissioners.
Washington, July 3. —Gen. Ketcliam,
who arrived here this morning, called on
the President at noon and formally ac
cepted the appointment as one of the
District of Columbia Commissioners.
He was selected after the President had
a consultation with Messrs. Dennison
and Blow, the other Commissioners, who
said the appointment would be very
agreeable to them. They will take the
oath of office to-day, and expect to or
ganize for business Monday. There is
much anxiety among a large class of citi
zens for that event, as they will have the
disbursement of about a million of dol
lars among unpaid employees under the
late District government.
More Rascals Caught.
Mention was heretofore made of dis
coveries of forgeries of orders for fire
men’s and policemen’s certificates on the
office of the Comptroller for the District
of Columbia. To-day Albert Under
wood and Thomas i?. Warrick, both
colored, were arrested on information,
charged with the forgery. Several other
parties connected with it will also be
arrested. Underwood has been messen
ger in the Comptroller’s office for some
months; was a member of the late Dis
: trict Legislature, and is a well known
; local politician. Warrick graduated
from Howard University as a lawyer, and
j has since acted as a clerk in the Collee
i tor’s office.
The Freedman's Rank.
It is reported that some of the depos
itors in the Freedman’s Bank are selling
their pass books for less than their value,
either from necessity or ignorance of the
fact that Bank Examiner Meigs, after
a thorough examination of the affairs of
; the bank, placed the assets, deducting
j bad and doubtful debts, at ninety-three
cents on the dollar. The officers of the
company say that with proper care on
the part of the management, the books
will be worth more than that- sum, and
that a large dividend will be made at as
early day as practicable.
! Circular Letter of Secretary Bristow.
The circular letter of the Secretary of
; the Treasury to prominent bankers, pre
pared yesterday, inviting them to make
proposals for the remainder of the new
| five per cent, loan, was not officially pro
! mulgated until to-day. The proposals
previously offered were therefore con
; sidered informal.
Personal.
The President has gone to Long
Branch. Fish leaves this evening.—
Bristow has gone to Kentucky to attend
the funeral of a member of his family.
Avery has assumed the functions of
Chief Clerk of the Treasury.
Marshall Jewell, of Connecticut, has
accepted the Postmaster-Generalship.—
The First Assistant will act until Jewell
arrives from Europe.
Among the West Point cadet appoint
ments are Samuel Scott Wells, from
4th Louisiana; Reuben S. Smith, of
Florida, and Paul T. Goodloe, tith Ala
bama District.
i The District Commissioners, as finally
• organized, are J. H. Ketchum, Blow and
i Dennison.
\tr. Creswell's Successor—Minister
Jewell to be Postmaster-General.
When on Wednesday Representative
Hale withdrew his acceptance of the
; Postmaster-Generalship the President
! tendered the appointment to Minister
Jewell, but it was not until late this af
ternoon that a cable telegram was re
j ceived from him signifying his accept-
I anee. The President, on the resignation
'of Creswell, expressed to a friend that
! lie intended the appointee should be
1 from New England, «rd he has now car-
I ried hits design into effect.
While the appointment is generally
received with favor, surprise is express
ed that he should recall a Miuister who
has not been long at his post to dis
charge the duties of an executive office
at home. Although Mr. Jewell is pop
ular at St. Petersburg, and finds his
position agreeable, it has been known
that he preferred office in his own
country to a diplomatic position
abroad*. The settling of his af
fairs in Russia and the time ne
cessarily occupied on the return voy
age will prevent him from entering upon
the Postmaster-Generalship before the
Ist of August. As the law provides that
during the absence of a Cabinet officer
the appointment of one ad inlereni
shall not continue for a longer period
than ten days aud as the absence of Mr.
Jewell will necessarily be for a longer time
the President to-day fully commissioned
First Assistant Marshall as Postmaster-
General, to serve as such officer until
Mr. Jewell himself shall be prepared to
assume the duties of the position. The
question now discussed is, who will be
Jewell’s successor at St. Petersburg, but
at present there is nothing but specula
tion concerning the subject, as the Pres
ident will take his time in making an
appointment.
From England—Home Rule Dead.
London, July 2.—The debate on Home
Rule has been concluded. Disraeli was
unable to agree that Ireland had a right
to a greater amount of self-government
than Scotland or England. He demon
strated the groundlessness of the com
plaint that Irishmen were not appointed
to high offices of Government, and de
nied that Ireland was treated as a con
quered country. He said two separate
Parliaments would be constantly in col
lision. The minority in each Parlia
ment “would be always appealing to the
Imperial Parliament. He opposed the
motion because it was injurious to both
countries. At a great crisis of the world,
which was nearer than some supposed,
he wished the people to be united. To
accept this motion would produce dis
integration in England, and might, re
sult in the destruction of the Empire.
McCarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, the O’Con
nor, Don aud others spoke in support of
the motion. At a late hour the House
divided and Dr. Butt’s resolve was re
jected—Cl yeas, 458 nays.
From Cuba.
Havana, July 3.—The religions and
military ceremonies to-day in honor of
the memory of Marshal Concha were of
the most imposing character.
FROM PHILADELPHIA.
Os Interest to Cooke’s Creditors.
Philadelphia, July 3.—The trustee
of Jay Cooke & Cos. has received a check
from the President of the Oregon Steam
Navigation Company for $37,500 in gold
as dividend on $1,500,000 stock. Other
dividends will follow as the season ad
vances, ns the company pays the surplus
to stockholders monthly.
Fourth of July.
The Fourth of July xvill be celebrated
with universal spirit. The programme
includes a parade of 10,000 temperance
men, and a review by tho Mayor on the
Centennial grounds; formal opening of
the new bridge at Guard avenue; the
laying of the corner stoue of the new
city buildings, and to end with a displ iy
of fireworks.
From New Orleans.
New Orleans, June 3.—The grand
jury indicted Badger, chief, and Flanna
gau, captain of police, for highway rob
bery in seizing the Bulletin's forms.
Tho Cotton Exchange crop report
shows a large decrease in acreage. The
planting was late. The stand is small,
but growing finely. The fields are clean.
There is no complaint about labor.
The Bonnet Carre Crevasse is closed
and trains on the New Orleans, Jackson
and Great Southern Road will run regu
larly from this date.
At Cleveland, Ohio, two girls were
burned to death by lighting a fire with
gasoline.
