WEDNESDAY AUGUST 5, 1874.
iFOB TUX SUNDAY CBBONICLX AND SBSTXNBL.]
GENETHLIACON.*
BY N. Bltm CLAM.
Here I am. Just here I started four and thirty
years ago, , .
Bitting by the little cradle that oft rocked me
to and fro; ,
Looking at the tiny dresses and the cap I used
to wear.
And the pretty ivory rattle father brought me
from the Fair.
Here, within my parents' dwelling, where I
pass'd mv earlv years,
I am sitting with a swelling, indicating coming
tears.
Not of gladness, nor of sadness, but of feeling
undefined ;
Who can tell the carious workings that affect
the human mind ?
On the wall above the mantle, in a massive
gilded frame—
Shining in the taper brilliance like a rainbow
after rain—
Are the portraits of my parents, taken in their
youth and boom,
And they seem to smile upon me in this taper
lighted room.
By a crimson cord suspended, tipp'd with tas
sals work'd with gold,
Is an oval-shapeiid likeness of an infant one
year old ;
Whose it is I don't remember—is it strange I
do not know
Os those little cherub features three and thirty
years ago ?
Bitting, knitting by the table, in a cushion'd
rocking chair,
Listening to her aged companion reading sa
cred Scriptures there,
Is ray mother; and the wrinkles on her fore
head, once so clear,
Tell me in their silent language—earth's de
parting, Heaven s near'
And beside the village temple ! 'neath the
willow s solemn shade.
Mother and her aged companion in the dust
will soon he laid;
And I'll write upon their grave stone, with a
trembling hand I know,
“Mother, father, gone to Heaven!—l am
mourning here below!”
Yesterday eve I slumber'd HWeetly in the cozy
atic room,
Where in childhood I have sported inar.y a
Hummer afternoon ;
And I wander'd in my dreainings through the
woods and piney groves,
O’er the hills and o’er (lie meadows whore the
bright Savannah flows.
Then to Bt. Paul's Church I wended, at the tap
of Sabbath bell,
Bow'd before the holy altar, hoard the organ’s
pealing swell ;
Hang tho sacred songs of Zion, bow’d my youth
ful head in prayor,
Banished every Hinful feeling, found my pre
cious Saviour there.
To the school house, rudo constructed, joyfully
I moved along,
Willing said my morning lessons, sang the ex
ercising song ;
Heeded every admonition, gladly heard my
teacher say ;
“School’s dismissed 1 my little scholars now
may dance or sing or play !”
Ere the sun had kiss’d tho mountains, and an
nounced her slow decline,
Or tho purple shados of evening mark'd the
day's dividing line,
To my happy home I hastened, full of joy as
heart could he,
And I loarn'd my morrow's lessons on my dar
ling mothor's knee.
Then my fancy wing'd its travels to Virginia's
splendid vale,
In whose bosom, near a fountain, dwells my
darling Manna Dale;
Darling Manna! peerless Manna! sacred is
our lovers’ vow,
And a wreath of orange blossoms soon will
crown thy lilly brow.
And I dream’d till feathered songsters hailed
the beauties of the morn,
Breaking through tho evening shadow, gilding
mountain, lull and lawn,
Mingling with their silvor lustre, crinißOii lino
and golden beam,
Till the dewy breast of Nature like a jewel’d
ocean seem’d.
Now I how me at the altar, at tho family altar
here,
Whilst my father's supplications reach the list
ening Saviour's ear ;
“God of Mercy! God of Goodness! lot tliy
choicest blessings mu
From the flowing fount of Heaven on our only
living sou !'

UNITED.
BY EMMA,
Wo are pledged to ea h other for life now,
He to share all my burdens,, and I
To take up his cares and to lighten
Them best that I can till I die.
Bide by side wo shall drift down tho current,
Perchance striking shoals as wo go,
But Love, as tho pilot, will steer us
Clear of wreckers that jut from tho shore.
Perhaps in the years that aro coming
Misfortune may lurk with its gloom,
Ami Doatli. with his skeleton finger.
Point down to somo new little tomb.
Our sky oaunot always ho cloudless,
Paiisey-hued and glittering bright,
But we know the beautiful star of Faith
Shall part the black curtain of night.
We know that tho lovo wo have given
Each other to-night is as pure
As the cup of tho lilly or violet.
Gem-decked with its diamonds of dow,
An strong as tho waves of tho ocoan,
As gentle as mimic's own breath,
As high as tho a/imvhiiod Heaven,
As tirm and as lasting as death.
Our vows aro no meaningless whispers,
Made only to ho broken again,
Or sand-written words that will vanish
When comes the first sprinklo of rain.
Tim chain has boon forged of love's making,
Each golden link joined evermore,
Anchored lioro safe in life's valley.
And clasped on tho “Evergreen Slioro.”
Then bravely wo take up life's burden,
If burden it be, tilled with love.
And Journey through sunshine and shadow
Till we reach tho bright haven above.

TWO VEILS.
From tho nun’s wan life a buried passion
Blossomed like a grave rose in her faco ;
‘'Sweet, my child,*' slio said, “in wliat fair
fashion
Do you mean to wear this lovoly laco ?
“Thus" and, with a feverish liaml ami shaken,
Hound her head the precious veil she wound,
“Faith in man," sho said, "I have forsaken;
“Faith in God most surely I have found.
“Yet, with music in the dewy distance.
And the whole laud flowering at my feet,
Through this convent garment's dark resist
ance
Backward I can hoar my fierce heart beat.
“Tropic eyes too full of light and languor,
Northern soul too gray with northern froßt ;
Ashes—ashes after fires of anger —
Love ami beauty -what a world I lost!”
“Sister," laughed the girl with girlish laughter,
“Sister, do you envy me my veil ?”
“You may come to ask for mine hereafter,”
Answered very piteous lips and pale.
“No ; for your Hack cross is heavy bearing ;
Tedious counting these stone beads must be.
Oh. but there are jewels worth the wearing
Wailing in the sunny world for me !
“Sister, have a care -you are forgetting,
I>o not broider thorns among my flowers,
Oulv buds and leaves ; your tears are wetting
All my bridal lace." They fell in showers.
After years and years, beside the grating,
tOh. that saddest sight, young hair grown
gray!)
With dry boughs and empty winds awaiting
At the cloister door, came one to pray,
“Sister, see my bride veil! there were never
Thorns so sharp as those within its lace.
Sister, give me yours to wear forever;
Give me yours, and let me hide my face."

Could you make it whole by crying
Till your eyes and nose are red?

Suppose you're dressed for walking,
And the rain come pouring down,
Will it make at any easier
Because you scold and frown ?
And wouldn't it l>e nicer
For you to smile than pent.
And so make snuslnns in the house
When there is none without ?
Suppose your task, my little man,
Is very hard to get.
Will it make it any easier
For you to sit and fret ?
And wouldu't it be wiser

To go to work m earnest

Suppose that some boys have a horse,
And some a coach aud pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
To say, "It isn’t fair ?"
And wouldn't it be nobler

The Cause of Sunstroke.— lt is not
the heat of the sun that is the immedi
ate cause of sunstroke. The human
frame can bear without injury a far
greater heat than the sun ever gives to
anything on this earth. Men have been
put in ovens and come out uninjured
from a heat of 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
But when from sickness, lack of cleanli
ness, too great moisture in the air ac
companied by excessive heat, or from
some other cause, the temperature of
the body rises above the limit prescribed
by nature, (about 100 degrees,) then
danger is imminent. Sunstroke or some
other serious shock to the system follows.
INI\D AM) MATTER.
One of the Unexplained Mysteries of
the Unman Mind—The Remarkable
Gift, of John K. Brown, of lowa—Con
vincing Experiments in New York.
John R. Brown, a beardless young
gentleman twenty-two years of ages,
whose home is in Council Bluffs, lowa,
has excited a good deal of curiosity the
last few days by his exhibition of mind
reading, at the Sturtevant House in
New York City. Mr. Brown is highly
charged with some mysterious power
which gives him control over the
thoughts of others. He does not claim
to be a Spiritualist, and distinctly says
that prophecy is not a part of his art.
He take the hand of another and thus
establishes a chain along which the
magnetic current flows. Brown's mind
is passive, or at least it thinks only
the thoughts which the brain thinks
with which it is in sympathetic con
tact. The thoughts of the sub
ject whose hands he holds are pho
tographed to his own brain, aud hence
the subject can have no secret from the
operator or receiver. You may hide an
article in any out of the way place, and
if you will concentrate your thonghts
upon the thing Mr. Brown will take
your hand and lead yon directly to it.
'You may write down the name of any
place or individual and Mr. Brown, al
though notin the room when you made
the writing, will quickly spell out the
name for you. By means of a copper
wire he can establish a current between
himself and yourself, and receive the
brain messages. He is the battery and
you are the instrument. He has been
put to very severe tests by the sceptical
journalists and scientists of New York,
and has acquitted himself in such a way
that the greatest doubter cannot hesitate
to believe in his powers. He does sim
ply what he says he will do. He is a
riddle to himself, as he is to all who
have seen him operate. That his power
is great is undeniable, but just what it
is is a question which the wisest cannot
answer. The New York Times says;
“Yesterday Mr. Brown gave a private
exhibition to a select company, includ
ing several representatives of the press.
The place chosen for the experiments
was a large parlor and bed room in the
Sturtevant House. He explained before
hand that he was obliged to use a cer
tain amount of machinery. This latter
consisted of the letters of tlie alphabet
printed on a piece of pasteboard, and a
long piece of brass wire. He did not
have the wire, the utility of which will
bo explained hereinafter, but he exhib
ited the printed letters. The latter were
strung around the walls of the parlor,
and Mr. Brown commenced his interest
ing exhibition. He stated, in the first
place, that any individual in the room
might hide an article anywhere in the
house, aud that, if certain conditions
were complied with, he would surely
point out where it was hidden by read
ing his thoughts. A gentleman in the
company left the room, and returned in
a few minutes. Mr. Brown then blind
folded himself with a linen handker
chief, took hold of the gentleman’s left
hand with his own right hand, and, after
a few eccentric movements, namely,
pressing his hand several times over tho
gentleman’s arm and across his fore
head, the two left the room, followed by
the company, and proceeded to search
for the hidden article. The gentleman
submitting to the experiment was
led, or rather pulled, by Mr. Brown
through the corridors of the hotel and
into a half dozen chambers until one
was reached where Brown stopped be
fore a bureau with about a dozen draw
ers, and, pointing to one particular
drawer, said: “You will find it there.”
The hidden article, a pocket knife, was
found in tho drawer. The gentleman
said that he had followed the course
which Brown had taken before he hid
the knife, and expressed himself as much
astonished. The next test was made by
a gentleman who went into an adjoining
apartment and selected a rosette in one
of three damask curtains, as an object
upon which to concentrate his thoughts.
Mr. Brown, preparing himself as before,
led the gentleman to the window cur
tain, and after a minute’s hesitation over
a tassel, placed his hand upon the ro
sette. The gentleman stated that he
had at first thought of the tassel, but
had finally concluded to choose the ro
sette. Mr. Lewis Lelaud, of the hotel,
asked Mr. Brown to tell him the name
of his birthplace. The latter, blind
folding himself and taking the hand of
Mr. Leland in tho manner before de
scribed, led him around the room, and
pointing to the] printed letters of the al
phabet suspended on the walls, spelled
out the name “Langrove.” This is a
small town in Vermont, and the birth
place of Mr. Leland. In the same man
ner Mr. Brown picked out the letters of
the alphabet, spelling “George,” the
Christian name of George F. Bowe, a
reporter of the Times, drowned some
time ago, on the request of his brother,
who was present, and also the name
of a town in Turkey, denominated
“Abeik,” where one of that company
was born. In the latter test Mr. Brown
missed the letter e, which the gentle
man making the test stated was prob
ably owing to the fact that he had him
self hesitated over it while mentally
spelling tho word. Another test to which
Mr. Brown was subjected was made by
a gentleman who fixed his thoughts upon
a watch-seal worn by Mr. Leland, which
was quickly pointed out as the object
selected. Mr. Brown volunteered to
read the thoughts of another without
coming in direct contact with him, but
through the medium of a third person.
To do this he blindfolded himself as be
fore, and while taking the hand of a
third party—the latter placing his hand
on his (Brown’s) forehead, the man
whoso thoughts were to bo read took
hold of the wrists of the medium of com
munication, and so the three proceeded
around the room until the object was
pointed out., or the letters spelling the
word thought of were spelled out from
the alphabet. The reporter of the
Times, desirous of making this test,
did so, together with Mr. Leland. The
metallic tag hanging to a key in the door
was the object selected for a concentra
tion of thought. After his usual prepa
ration, Brown immediately led the way
to the door. When he reached it he felt
around it for a few minutes, aud the
Times reporter, bt'lieviug that the scent
was lost, allowed his thoughts to be di
rected to other objects. As these objects
presented themselves to his mind, Brown
would immediately lead him and his
companion to them. At last a violent
effort was made to concentrate attention
exclusively on the key-tag, and Brown
at once led the way to it. This test
satisfied the reporter that the workings
of his mind had been implicitly followed
by Brown, and that every deviation from
a direct course was due to the thonghts
of other objects which would persistent
ly obtrude themselves. Mr. Brown is
ignorant of the cause of his wonderful
power. He believes that spiritualism
has nothing to do with it, aud regards
professional spiritualists as humbugs.
In the experiments recently he was
obliged to lead those making tests
around the room by the hand. If pro
vided with a brass wire, the person test
ing his power could take hold of oue
end of the wire and remain in his chair.
He is not infallible, however, in the use
of the wire, and prefers to hold the ’
hand. It does not appear that Mr.
Brown's gift can be made very useful,
although he says that by means of it lie
has disoovered the guilt of several crimi
nals in the West. He says also that he
is able to sometimes read the thoughts
of oth*>rs sitting near him, but cannot
remember them for any length of time.
He believes that in the course of time
his powers of thought reading will be so
strougly developed that he will be able
to express the thoughts of others with
out the use of this alphabet.
ALABAMA DEMOCRATIC CONVEN

Montgomery, Ala., July 29. —The :
Democratic State Convention assembled
here. Every county is represented. Over j
four hundred delegates are present. Jas. ;
L. Pugh, formerly member of Congress, i
is President of the Convention.
The Convention nominated Hon. Geo.
L. Houston by a unanimous rising vote
for Governor.* A. K. Manning of Mobile;
C. Briskett, of Madison and Hon. Thos.
J. Judge, of Batler, were nominated for
Justices of the Supreme Court on the
second ballot. No platform has yet
been reported. The committee will re
port to-morrow aud complete nomina
tions.
The Tax Rate Established.— The
rate of taxation established by the Gov
ernor and Comptroller General for this
year is forty-five cents on the hundred.
Last year the amount was forty cents
on the hundred. The amount of one
half of one-tenth of one per cent, is
added, to meet the pavment of the one
hundred thousand dollars, with interest,
due on the first installment of Nutting
bonds. The amount of interest annu
ally, at eight per cent., amounts to
nfilety-six thousand dollars.
Out of the thirty-two tax digests re
! ceived, there is an increase in the taxa
! ble property, over last year, of $7,207,-
657. At this rate the general increase
j throughout the State, for this vear, will
; be 826,830,000.
The taxes were collected closer last
year than ever before, notwithstanding
the panic and other drawbacks, and the
State will not lose one thousand dollars.
This speaks well for the officials of the
counties, and reflects great credit on
Comptroller Goldsmith. —Atlanta Xetvs,

FURTHER ABOUT THE CURREN
CY BONDS.
Report of the Committee on the Bonds
Pawned to J. Boorman Johnson <fc
Co.—Fnrther Evidence of Kimball’s
“Developments.”
[From the Atlanta News.]
In pursuance ot our purpose to give
the most convincing proof of the dis
honesty @f H. I. Kimball, we print be
low the report of the committee appoint
ed at the last session of the Legi-lature
to take into consideration the matter of
the bonds pledged to J. Boorman John
son & Cos. It will be seen that the evi
dence fully sustains what was published
in the News concerning the action of
Kimball in pawning these bonds:
The special committee of the Senate
and House of Representatives, to whom
was referred the matter of J. Boorman
Johnson & Cos., who claim that they
hold 3120,000 of the bonds of the State
of Georgia as collateral security for a
loan of 380,000 made by them to H. I.
Kimball on the faith of the bonds, re
spectfully submit: That after a careful
examination of the evidence taken con
cerning the validity of the bonds now
held by said firm, as also the circum
stances under which said bonds were
hypothecated with them, we have ar
rived at the conclusion that said bonds
are valid and binding upon the State.
In our recommendation as to the leg
islative action proper to be taken in re
lation to this claim our guide has been
the law, expediency and moral right,
and your committee has labored faith
fully throughout the whole investiga
tion to know and unfold the entire truth.
We append herewith an abstract of the
testimony presented to the committee in
support of said claim.
Early in September, 1870, a large
number of the lithographed currency
bonds issued under the act of August
27, 1870, were sent to the Park Bank of
New York, to be hypothecated for the
use of the State by John Bice, agent.
Concurrent facts show that these bonds
were issued as an expedient whereby to
effect temporary loans for the immediate
necessities of the State, though there is
nothing upon the face of the bond to in
dicate this fact. They are in the usual
form, dated September 1, 1870, and
twenty years to run.
Bice hypothecated with R. Sage
343,000 of these bonds and with Hav
meyer 350,000. He also gave 338,000 of
them to Kimball to be hypothecated for
a loan to the State of 319,000, and also
gave him 350,000 of these bonds on a
certificate of Governor Bullock’s for and
on account of the Opera House pur
chase.
On the 24th September, 1870, Kimball
borrowed of J. Boorman Johnson &
Cos. 332,000 on the faith of forty-five of
the currency bonds of the State, Nos.
526, 538 and 732. On the 28th Septem
ber, 1870, he hypothecated 38,000 of cur
rency bonds for the sum of 328,500, num
bers 201, 220 and 783, 800, and deposited
319,000 of that amount with Henry
Clews & Cos., to the credit rs the State,,
aud on the 22d November, 1870, $37,000
of the currency bonds, numbers 351, 373,
1,408, 1,419, on account of a loan of
$27,750 —making a total loan of $88,250,
principal sum, upon the hypothecation
of 120 currency bonds of the State as
collateral as above set forth. The first
two loans were on sixty days, and the
last named, to-wit, that of November 22,
was on four months.
On the 25th November, 1870, the first
mentioned loan was renewed at four
months, and on the 29th November,
1870, the second loan was also renewed
at four months. On the third day of
April, 1871, these several loans were con
solidated, the interest account was paid,
aud anew loan was made at four mouths,
expiring August 4, 1871, for $84,000, for
which 120 bonds of the State of Georgia
1,000, each 201, 220, 351, 375, 526, 538,
701, 732, 7&3, 800, 1,408, 1,419, were de
posited as collateral, and on the third
day of August, 1871, the iuteiest and
principal being paid so as to reduce the
claim to SBO,OOO. Another renewal was
effected at ninety days, November 3, for
SBO,OOO, the above numbered bonds
being still retained as collaterals.
Tho gold quarterly bonds, issued un
der the act of September 15, 1870, were
ready to be placed on the market about
the first day of January, 1871 ; SIOO,OOO
of these bonds were paid to John H.
James for the Executive mansion, and
the remainder of the original issue of
2,000,000 (that is to say 1,900,000 were
sent to Henry Clews & Cos., as financial
agents of the State ; for sale of these
bonds) $250,000 were directed to be
turned over to Kimball in payment of
the Opera House, upon Kimball’s un
dertaking to return the currency bonds,
which had been delivered to him, and
$120,000 of which he had hypothecated
with J. Boorman Johnson & Cos., as
aforesaid, The evidence discloses the
fact that those bonds held by J. Boor
man Johnson Cos. wero not taken up,
but on the contrary the order of March
16, 1871, which first authorized Kimball
to act as the agent of the State at all in re
lation to the cancellation and return of
her bonds, gave him no authority to re
tain the currency bonds held by the
firm. Whether Kimball actually did or
did not use the authority given him under
the order of March, 1871, to transfer the
State account, to negotiate loans, etc. —
the currency bonds now held by the
National Bank and by Clews & Cos., to
be cancelled and returned to the Treas
ury, is immaterial. It is clear that he
had no authority to act in relatiou to
the bonds held by the firm of Boorman
Johnson & Cos., and it is equally clear
that if he had no authority to retire or
cancel these bonds, he failed to do so.
He did not receive from the Fourth Na
tional Bank any of the currency bonds
held by that bank. Tho bonds held by
,T. Boorman Johnson & Cos., it appears
from the evidence, never were in the
custody of the Fourth National Bank.
On the contrary, the bonds held by the
bank—to-wit, ssoo,ooo—were long ago
returned to the State Treasury. It fur
ther appears that the bonds held by J.
Boorman Johnson & Cos. were all hypo
thecated with them on or before the 29th
of November, 1870, and that they have
been held continuously by said firm
from that date to tho present time.
They appear to have had no notice
that these bonds were intended to be re
turned and cancelled by the issue
of quarterly gold bonds, but on the
faith of these bonds to have just loan
ed them continues to renew the loans !
which they had made upon them from j
time to time until August, 1871, when
the different loans were renewed for the
last time in a single loan of a bond ma
turing November, 1871, which loan re
mains unpaid, and for the payment of
which they now hold the bonds in dis
pute. In this connection we attach
copies of the original obligations exe
cuted and delivered by H. I. Kimball to
the firm of J. Boorman Johnson & Cos.
for the amount of said several advances.
We also annex a copy of the affidavit
made by Isaac H. Knox, a member of
said firm. In this affidavit Mr. Knox
swears positively that all of said 120
currency bonds were hypothecated with
his firm by Mr. Kimball on or before
November 22, 1870, and that said firm
dealt with Mr. Kimball without any
knowledge or suspicion of anything
wrong, and in perfect good faith. We
also attach a copy of the affidavit of G.
W. Bachford, which verifies the state
ment made bv the account and the affi
davit of Mr. Knox. Mr. Jas. Gardner,
of Augusta, appeared before the com
mittee, and testified to the high charac
ter and standing of the firm of J. Boor
man Johnson & Cos., and of the members
of said firm. Your committee cannot
presume fraud or false swearing; they
must decide upon the evidence submit
ted, and, in the absence c£ all testimony
to the contrary, must yield to the proofs
presented. The Bond Committee decided
against the claim of J. Boorman Johnson
A Cos., not upon the ground that the ori
ginal issue of the currency bonds was
void, or those bonds invalid, but because
said firm received said currency bonds
from H. L Kimball after the gold quar
terly bonds had been issued aud put
upon the market for the purpose of re
tiring and cancelling the currency bonds,
and because «aid firm, by the exercise of
reasonable diligence, could have ascer-
tained this fact. See report of Bond
Committee, p. 152 to 154.
The Bond Committee were clearly in
error as to the facts. The currency i
bonds hypothecated with J. Boorman
Johnson A Cos., if the evidence submit
ted is credible, could not have been ob- j
tained by Kimball from the Fourth Na-!
tional Bank in New York, at the time '
indicated in that report. On the oon
trary, they were actually deposited with i
J. Boorman Johnson «fc Cos., who re- i
ceived them iu good faith, and without ■
auy reason calculated to excite suspicion,
by" November 22, 1870—long before Bul
lock's letter of authority to Kimball, j
and long before the gold quarterly bonds 1
were put on the market, The Chairman
of the Bond Committee was summoned
before your committee, and stated that
said committee had been in error as to
the true facts of the case, and would
doubtless have arrived at a different con
clusion had the facts beau correctly un
derstood.
Upon the evidence submitted, your
committee has been forced to the con
clusion, that nothing has been shown in
the original issue and circulation of the
currency bonds which can authorize
them to*declare said bonds invalid and
not binding obligations upon the State
of Georgia. They were issued under an
act of the Legislature of Georgia. They
bear the signature of the Governor and
Secretary of State; and are under the
great seal of the State. They are in the
usual form, and nothing appears on their
face calculated to excite suspicion. The
State has, in fact, recognized the validity
of the issue by using the gold quarterly
bonds—admitted to be valid and bind
ing—to take up and cancel said cnrrency
bonds; a part of said gold quarterlies
were actually delivered by the recog
nized financial agent of the State to
Bussell Sage & Cos., to take up cnrrency
bonds held by them. The act under
which the gold quarterly bonds were is
sued did not provide for the cancella
tion of the currency bonds; there is
nothing upon the face of the act to indi
acte any such intent, or to put any
holder of the currency bonds upon
notice that any such purpose
was contemplated. The Executive
order of R. B. Bullock, dated
Maich 10, 1871, long after said currency
bonds were placed in the hands of J.
Boorman Johnson & Cos., was the first
official indication of an intention to can
cel the currency bonds with the gold
quarterlies; and this order applied in
terms to the currency bonds, held at its
date by the Fourth National Bank, and
by Messrs. Clews & Conly. See report
of Bond Committee, p. 125. At this
date the currency bonds in question
were held by J. Boorman Johnson &
Cos., and had "been since November 29,
1870. After as full an investigation as
your committee have been able to de
vote to this question, they have been
forced to the conclusion that the cur
rency bonds issued under the act of Au
gust, 1870, were valid bonds, binding
upon the State, and for which her good
faith and her honor stood pledged to all
innocent holders.
They have further been compelled to
conclude, under the evidence submitted
to them, that the $120,000 of these bonds
hypothecated by H. L Kimball on his
individual account with J. Boorman
Johnson & Cos., on and before November
29, 1870, were received by them in good
faith, and not under any circumstances
calculated to arouse the suspicions of
brokers and money lenders, dealing ac
cording to the usages of their business
in the city of New York. They, there
fore, recommend that the Governor of
this State be authorized to take up for
cancellation the $120,000 currency bonds
now held by J. Boorman Johnson & Cos.,
and to replace them by quarterly gold
bonds now in the State Treasury, to an
amount sufficient to cover the sum of
SBO,OOO, with interest thereon from No
vember 5, 1871, to be ascertained and
fixed by the Treasurer, but not to exceed
3100,000 in said gold quarterly bonds.
LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Interesting Account of the Reconcilia
tion Between Messrs. Stephens and
Toombs—A Grandfather Surrenders
His Grandson for a Reward—Prof.
Le Loy Broun for Chancellor of the
University—Atlanta Gossip.
[special correspondence chronicle and
SENTINEL. ]
Atlanta, July 28, 1874.
How the Stephens-Toombs Reconcilia
tion was Brought About.
To-day I saw a gentleman from Craw
fordville, from whom I learned several in
teresting facts concerning the reconcilia
tion between Mr. Stephens and General
Toombs. The public is aware of the
fact that a somewhat protracted and un
pleasant correspondence passed between
them, resulting in what was understood
to be an alienation of feeling. It seems
that one of the most important letters
written by Mr. Stephens in Washington
City to General Toombs was inadver
tently addressed to him at “Washington,
D. C., instead of Washington, Georgia.”
That letter, in due course of time, was
sent to the dead letter office, and there
opened and returned to Mr. Stephens at
Crawfordville. He at once comprehended
much of what in General Toombs’ cor
respondence had been to him incompre
hensible. He believed that if General
Toombs could see that letter he would
no longer have any unpleasant feeling
towards him. He therefore forwarded
it, giving the foregoing explanation, and
invited General Toombs to come and see
him. It produced exactly the effect
which Mr. Stephens supposed it would.
On reading it General Toombs lost all
unpleasant feeling, and went immediate
ly to see Mr. Stephens. Their meeting
was not simply cordial, but was deeply
affecting. There was no longer any
estrangement on the part of either,
and their long friendly relations were
most fully restored. General Toombs
remained at his house the greater por
tion of the day; and the intercourse and
conversation between them is described
as being one of the most agreeable and
gratifying scenes that ever was witness
ed on such an occasion. The life-long
warm personal friendship of these two
great men is remarkable when wc con
sider that any other two persons simi
larly situated would have been rivals,
and, probably enemies. Mr. Stephens
and Gen. Toombs, though notwithstand
ing they have lived in the same commu
nity, have never been rivals. On the
contrary, they have sought, it seems,
the success and preferment of each other
in every legitimate way. So abiding
has been their personal friendship that
it has several times survived the most
exciting political antagonism.
I also was gratified to learn that Mr.
Stephens’ health is as good as could be
expected. He is believed to be as well
as he has been at any time within twelve
months past, save that he may be slight
ly feebler than he was a year ago. 'The
gentleman who furnished me tins infor
mation said that his intellect is as clear
and brilliant as when moved by the
fires of youth. He is perfectly cheerful
and converses most freely with every
one just as he did twenty jears ago. I
was further told that it is perfectly as
tonishing to observe the great numbers
who call to see him daily, from every
part of Georgia, and not only so, but
from all parts of the United States.
A Grnadfather Surrenders His Grand
son for a Reward.
Several months ago a country boy,
seventeen years of age, named James
Ratteree, became involved in an affray
with a man named Clifton in West End,
a suburban village of Atlanta. Clifton,
a “trusty” jail bird of the “Distilling”
persuasion, was driving a wagon, and
met Ratteree, who was also driving a
team with a load of wood. A dispute as
to who should “give the road” gave rise
to an altercation in which the boy
Ratteree killed Clifton with his pocket
knife. Ratteree fled. Governor Smith
offered a reward of several hundred dol
lars for his arrest. This, however, failed
to secure his arrest, until the other day,
when every person had almost forgotten
the circumstance, Maj. Alex. Ratteree,
a grandfather of the alleged murderer,
delivered him in the hands of the
Sheriff, and demanded the reward offer
ed by the Governor. Having, as it is
supposed, obtained the reward, Major
Ratteree sues out a writ of habeas cor
pus, in order to release his grandson
from imprisonment, or rather to afford
his friends an opportunity of giving
bond for his appearance at the next
term of the Superior Court, to
answer the charges against him.
Judge Hopkins has been employed in
hearing the case to-day. The female
friends of the “so-called” boy murderer
manifested the deepest and tenderest in
terest in his case, but Maj. Ratteree him
self preserved an inflexible demeanor,
betraying no marked degree of interest.
After’hearing the argument in the case,
(by Gen. Lucius J. Gartrell), Judge Hop
kins granted the writ, fixing the bond at
SIO,OOO, which was promptly given, and
the “boy murderer,” so-called, is at
liberty until the approaching session of
the Superior Court.
State University.
A writer in the morning Herald sug
gests the name of W. Leßoy Broun as
a competent person to succeed the ven
erable Lipscomb in the Chancellorship
of the State University. In case the
resignation of Dr. Lipscomb is final,
your correspondent is prepared to en
dorse the suggestion of the writer in the
Jit raid. Prof. W. Leßoy Broun is one
of the most accomplished and talented
scholars in the country. It is said of him
that he can, at a moment’s notice, assume
charge of any department of the lui
versity, teaching with equal facility the
laws of sicenoe, astronomy and physics
and the mysteries of the dead languages,
turning with readiness from a recitation
in French or German to a discussion of
moral philosophy or metaphysics. In a
word, a more versatile scholar is not to
be found in Georgia) and this qualifica
tion is of prime importance in one who
is to exercise a supervision over a com
plex and intricate system of education.
Facts in Briet.
It seems to be the understanding in
knowing circles that there has been a
rupture between ex-Governor Brown and
Hon. Ben. H. Hill. The character or
occasion of it is not known to your
correspondent. Never very warm ad
mirers of each other, they seem to be
widening the breach in their fnend-
said that J. E. W. Mills and
Gov. Psamuel Bard also are not on verv
intimate terms. Mills, however, several
months ago was interested in the ap
pointment of Bard as postmaster, and,
it is said, gave the Governor material
aid in his famous campaign for that
position. When will the war between
“great men” cease?
The United States Judge at this place
(who pompously boasts a heritage from
the English aristocracy, and affects some
of the manners, customs and practices
of English courts a century ago) fixed
the bond of young James Dunning, the
post office defaulter, at 88,000, which
was given, and James Dunning is now at
t large.

FOSTER BLODGETT.
A “NEWS" CORRESPONDENT IN
TERVIEWS BLODGETT.
He Knows a Great Deal, but Won’t
Tell Just Now—Georgia Owes Him
SIB,OO0 —Another Stainless Patriot —
Who Axe In Correspondence with
Him.
(From the Atlanta News.]
Columbia, S. C., July 24, 1874.
I have just returned from Newberry,
in this State, the home of one Blodgett
—the Hon. Foster, of State Road noto
riety. The town of Newberry is one of
the oldest in the State, and does not dis
play any evidence of improvement what
ever since the war of 1812 ; but it is in
keeping with the rest of the State. Ev
erything looks old, and it is the chosen
country of the "black and tan.” Os
course, I made it convenient to call on
Mr. Blodgett, and after walking a few
blocks from the public square, where
the hotel is situated, I came upon one
of those old rumbling Carolina mansions
that the sensational novelist tells about,
when my escort promptly said, “This is
the place,” and in a few moments I was
in the presence of an old, grav-haired
man, that, but a few years ago, walked
the streets of Atlanta seemingly a young
and vigorous man with beard and hair
well trimmed then, as black as the ra
ven's wing, now grown long, and in dis
hevelled locks of gray hanging about
the stooping shoulders of an old man.
After a few minor remarks, the following
conversation took place :
Reporter—Mr. Blodgett, I hare called
to ask your views on the situation in
Geoagia now.
Blodgett—l could tell you more than
I am willing to do now; I can tell a tale
that will astonish a great many people,
but the time has not come yet. When
I am ready I will tell it all myself and
in my own style, and not leave it to the
reporters to do it for me.
Reporter—But H. I. Kimball has re
turned to tell what he knows about
the bonds. Can’t you tell something of
that?
Blodgett—No. Kimball knows what
he is about. It will be a hard matter to
prove him guilty of anything fraud
ulent, and the people are not so bitter
against him as those that were engaged
more conspiculously in politics.
Reporter—What do you think of the
Harris oaae ?
Blodgett—Well, Harris is a sharpone.
It will be a very hard matter to prove
him guilty also. He has escaped so far,
and the decision in his case amounts
to a decision for all. We have nothing
to fear.
Reporter—Then why not return to
Atlanta ?
Blodgett—lf I should go back to
Georgia I would be harrassed by those
legislative committees merely for politi
cal revenge, and I do not care to annoy
myself with them.
Reporter—W’hat do you think of the
committee’s report ?
Blodgett—l think if I could get one
more committee I would be all right.
The first one charged me with fraud to
the amount of $100,000; the second
about $36,000, and I think if I can get
one more I can get the SIB,OOO that the
State of Georgia owes me.
Reporter—And you think, then, that
the State owes you about that amount,
do you ?
Blodgett—Yes, sir; and will get it,
too. It will turn out all right after
awhile.
Reporter—What about those pardons
granted by Governor Conley ?
Blodgett—l asked for them not be
cause I thought I had done anything
wrong, but because I knew these commit
tees would begin to annoy us as soon as
they came into power, so I pepared my
self.
Reporter—lt is reported that you are
very wealthey, spending money lavishly,
and living high.
Blodgett—A very wise mistake, sir.
We manage to get along very comforta
bly now. We were very much annoyed,
though, for a long while by the attach
ment of my furniture in Atlanta. This
house belongs to my father-in-law, and,
though a very comfortable house, is not
the “ palatial mansion” spoken of by
some of the Georgia papers; aud if Ed.
and the boys make a good crop this
year we will be very comfortably fixed
for the year.
Reporter—Ed., then, is farming, is
he ?
Blodgett—Yes, he is plowing one of
those splendid spans of black horses
that I am reported to be driving behind
the white one.
Reporter—Do you get letters from any
one in relation to matters in Georgia ?
Blodgett —Yes, I get them nearly
every day, sometimes from newspapers,
often from private individuals seeking
information. Here is one from Ben Hill,
now, aud another from B. C. Yancey, of
Athens. But I never answer them. I
will tell my story when the proper time
comes, and will tell it in my own way,
and not trust it to the reporters to write
for me. The papers have sought to in
terview me, but I have refused them all.
Here our interview ended, as the hour
for my departure was at hand. On my
way to the depot I learned the particu
lars of the $4,000 loan Blodgett made to
Moses. It was in consideration of any
favor he should ask of the Governor. —
He asked that Ed. should be appointed
county treasurer at Newberry—Blod
gett having bought up a large amount
of school scrip at a greatly depreciated
figure, which his son Ed. was to redeem
at par when he came into office; but,
alas for his hopes, the people would not
allow the present incumbent to be re
moved, and Moses went back on Foster
and never repaid the money, aud it is
said that he is now so completely disgust
ed that he is almost persuaded to turn
Democrat. Yours, Rosa Dalis.
DR. HICKS' SHIPWRECK.
A Narrow Escape.
From the Tri- Weekly Florida Union,
of last Saturday, wo clip the following
account of the shipwreck off St. Augus
tine, in which Rev. Dr. Hicks, formerly
of this city, was a party :
Our readers will recollect several is
sues back of the Union we mentioned
the fact that Rev. W. Watkin Hicks
had organized a colony for settling near
BiscayDe Bay, in South Florida, and for
the purpose of transporting them there
had chartered the little schooner Mag
nolia from Wilson & Whitlock, and had
bought the yacht Peter Conor, from
Captain Church, she being represented
by him as being perfectly sea-worthy
and sound. A few days after this the
schooner Magnolia departed with a full
freight and eight passengers for the
location of the new colony.
On Tuesday afternoon, the 14th inst.,
the yacht Peter Conor (name afterwards
changed by Dr. Hicks to that of Nina),
left Jacksonville, for Biscayne Bay, hav
ing on board Rev. W. Watkin Hicks,
owner; John H. Marshall, sailing master,
with a crew of two, Charles Moore and
Wilson Reede. Reaching Mayport, at
the mouth of the river, tlie same even
ing, Dr. Hicks had his vessel hauled up
on tlie beech, her bottom scraped, and a
few repairs made so as to strengthen
her as much as possible before putting
to sea. While hero he again asked her
former owner, Captain Church, if he
could guarantee that the yacht was
sound and in good condition, and
received from him the answer that
she was, as he had but lately thorough
ly overhauled her, putting in new tim
bers where she needed them, with plank-
ing, etc. On Friday morning, having
completed the necessary repairs, she
cleared Mayport, passed over the bar,
and were soon dashing southward at a
fine rate of speed, reaching St. Augustine
that afternoon about 5 o’clock. Satur
day was spent in more work upon the
yacht, several strong beams being placed
under the deck forward, for the purpose
of steadying the mast in case of a blow.
On Sunday morning, the 18th inst.,
they put to sea again, this time with the
intention of not stopping until Biscayne
was reached. And now we will give the
account as stated to us by Captain Mar
shall :
“Sunday night 10 o’clock, when about
twenty-two miles south of Matanzas
Inlet, the vessel sprung a leak, but by
constant pumping, managed to keep
comparatively free of water; Monday
morning about 4:30 o’clock, was struck
bv a heavy squall of wind and rain from
S. S.-E., heavy sea running, and vessel
leaking badly; had to keep all hands at
work with pump and buckets to prevent
foundering; water at this time four
inches above the cabin floor, when we
concluded to put back to St. Augustine.
Pumps became clogged and would not
work; all hands bailing with buckets,
the water gaining in the cabin. About
5, p. m., made St. Augustine light;
water still gaining on us, and now above
the berths in the cabin. 6:30, p. m.,
made sea buoy off St. Augusiine bar,
when the wind shifted, heavy rain
storm from the westward shutting
in light house and bar. Hove to under
doubled-reefed jib, and managed to
gain considerable on the leak. About 4
o’clock iu the morning it cleared off,
when we found that we had drifted
about nine miles to the northward ; wind
blowing heavy from the southeast;
hoisted balauced-reefed sail, and
beat ud toward the bar. 12 o clock, m.,
St. Augustine light bearing west by
south, and water again gaining rapidly
in the hold ; could not make the bar.
2:30, p. m., shipped a sea to leeward,
carrying awav the small boat, and put
ting about a foot more of water in ves
sel, which now refused to obey her helm.
Seeing that we could not keep her afloat
a half hour longer, concluded to beach
her, which we succeeded in doing by
l constant bailing, about four miles south
of St. Angustine, without loss of life.
She went to pieces almost immediately
after striking, and many of the timbers
were found to be very much decayed.”
The hands of all on board were raw
and much swollen from constant hand
ling of buckets for over thirty-seven
hours, during which time no one of
them either ate or slept.
Dr. Hicks left this city on Thursday
last, in company with Messrs. Moore and
Reede, for Biscayne t 'ia Key West.
