GENERAL A. H. COLQUITT.
kartndt At Up CeMnl iiH.
■* Jkm
General A. H. Colquitt was serenaded
at the Central Hotel last evening, at
balf.pa** eight, o'clock. A large crowd
gathered in frertit of the hotel. Loud
calls were made for General Colquitt. In
response to the call the distinguished
Georgian appeared upon the balcony of
the hotel and delivered a brief address.
He premised by saving that he had no
intention of ' tasking a speech, but
wonld merely give those who ha 4 called
upon him a little talk. The great duty
for the government and for individuals
at the present tirne was economy. It
was needed everywhere. It bad been
charged that the ladies were eztrava
gaut, but if the money spent for to
bacco and whisky was put together it
would far mote than counterbalance all
that spent by-the fair sex. A national
campaign was approaching, and it be
hooved th ■* Democratic party to bend
every energy to the battle. Especially
was this the case in Georgia. The op
posing party seemed determined to make
a harder fight id thistitate in the com
ing campaign than any time during the
past eight years. The Democracy should
therefore be united. Mississippi and
Alabama were once more free, and he
hoped that they would ever continue so.
The speaker was frequently applauded.
Lyiul calls were made for Eton. John
H. James. Mr. James was not present,
having left for Bavanuah on the Central
Railroad train. Calls were then made
for Col. J. D. Matthews. In response
to the call CJol. Matthews appeared and
addressed the orowd.

We have been accustomed to regard
Dr. J. W. Parker’s drop of two hundred
bushels and twelve quarts of corn ou a
single acre us the largest ever made in
any conntry. It has been so regarded
for a long time. Bnt the ‘Count rj/ Gen
tleman, an agricultural jonrnal, publish
ed at Albany, N. Y., makes the follow
ing report of a crop grown (we believe)
the last season in Indiana. Dr. Parker’s
drills were thirty inches apart. It will
be noticed that those of Mr. Lake were
three feet:
Elias It. Lake, of Marion county, took
premiums on corn at the Indiana State
Fair, as follows: Fur one acre, 263
bushels; tire art#es, 247 bushels per acre;
ten acres, 23JT busffels per acre. The
soil was sand and loam, based on clay, a
river bottom ; the one acre was plowed
ten inches deep and planted in drills
three feet apart, ancltnercly plowed cut
with shovel plow three times ; the five
acres were plowed six inches deep and
planted in hills three and a half feet
each way,' plowed out with a shovel
plow four times hoed once; the ten acre
piece was plowed six inches deep, and
had the same cultivation as the five
acres. The corn was measure! by
weight, and wonld probably shrink con
siderably iu frying.
Dkatu of Dr. Louis A. Cohmick. —
We Hud the following in the Homer
Iliad, of Homer, La.:
Died, in Homer, La., on Thursday,
April 27th, 1876, Dr. Louis A. Cormiek,
aged 32 yenrs.
Dr. Cormiek had resided in Homer
for a number of years, where he was not
only greatly admired, but universally
beloved He was of first class parent
age; was of good blood; had been well
raised and carefully aud thoroughly
educated, and was an accomplished phy
sician and an accomplished aud pure
hearted gentleman—combining the sim
plicity of the child with the ripe and
rich traits of the thorough man. If an
unseemly thought ever perchance un
bidden entered his well cultivated brain
it was not allowed to linger there—his
pure aud unselfish heart repelled aud ex
pelled it indignantly in a moment. His
manly lips were never known to utter an
unkind word toward mortal man ; but
rather for the foibles and short comings
< f others would he ever find pleas of
generous aud gentlemanly palliation.
His leading trait of character was that
of pare unselfishness, with a generous
self abnegatiou for the good of others,
which amounted to the very sublimity
of Imman perfection—compelling all
who kuew him to love him as naturally
as it is for the tints of the rainbow to
Respond to the brilliancy of the sun’s
reflecting rays.
But we would not overpraise oven so
dear and sacred a friend us Dr. Cormiek
—one whose memory is so sacred aud
dear to our entire household, endeared
to us ali for his manly, generous and
most unselfish friendships—we feel, in
deed, that there is no dauger of this,
because it is hardly within the power of
languuge, much less any that we could
use, to puss too high praise or compli
ment upon a gentleman so “pure in
heart” and in every way worthy of love.
We watched over him iu his last hours,
and wept in heart and agonized, not
only at his own incurable sufferings, but
still more deeply at the indescribable
pain aud despair of his devoted and dis
consolate parents. Aud when the breath
had left his manly and symmetrical
form, and we saw him lying there upon
his couch, so lovely are! natural, all so
neatly dressed for the toinb—
“1 ike some frail exhalation which tho dawn
Robes in its golden beams"—
Yes, when wo saw him resting'upou his
couch, so beautifully adorned for the
“last of earth”—so much at rest, as if
the hush of the last labored breath had
brought so much relief—
“ The brave, the gentle, and the beautiful,
The obdd of grace and genius"—
Yes, we must say, we thanked God at
this sad yet glad moment, that there is,
if nowhere else, relief aud deliverance
iu death to the pure iu heart upon this
sad and sorrow-stricken earth. And
while we thus viewed the dead body of
this devoted son aud manly friend, we
fonud special and renewed consolation
aud hope it the remembrance of the
proud fact that his was one of the cul
tivated and free and unshackled souls
who stand sublimely upon the immortal
aud God given belief—
“ That virtue, though obscured on earth, not
less
Survives all mortal change ia lasting loveli
ness."
And upon this wafting wave of im
mortal hope, his released and spotless
spirit-unstained by evil thought or
deed of wrong—passed out and on to its
sure reward. And iu like manner,
through the same channel of thought
aud hope, shall the bereaved kindred
and friends—the stricken father, and
the devoted aud saiuted mother, her
heart now all torn aud laseerated, dually
to be healed in death—in this same
channel of thought and hope, shall
they, with all the friends and kindred of
this noble mau, follow after and rejoin
him agaiu, in that land of rest where
death aud partiug shall be known no
more; “aud everlasting joy shall be
upon their head—they shah obtain glad
ness and joy, aud sorrow aud mourning
shall flee away."
Dr. Cormiek was many years a citizen
of Augusta. He was a member of the
Clinch Rifles during the war, aud was a
gallaut soldier throughout the struggle.
He bad many friends iu Augusta, who
received with deep regret the intelli
gence of his death.

Jersey City Hlights, May 7.—You
will probably find this morning’s New
York papers filled with accounts of the
great explosion over the east entrance to
the new Bergen tunnel. My residence
on Reservoir avenue being on a direct
line west of, aud less than 3,000 feet
from where the magazine exploded, of
course I had my fuli share of the terrors
realized by all the inhabitants of the hill
in particular and of the surrounding
country in general. I had gone to bed
about 9:30, p. in., and must have bee)i at
the time of the explosion in my sound
est sleep, when I was
Awakened by a Lurch of tbe House
Toward the“east, which caused a sensa
tion that I can only compare to that I
have often felt on board ship in a heavy
gale of wind, when rolling and plunging
into a heavy aea; the ship staggers and
trembles as though uncertain whether it
can recover itself or not, and it seemed
as though the house was going through
the same performance. As I bounded
out of bed, trying to realize" whether I
was on board a ship plunging headlong
to the bottom, or whether I was at home
as the surroundings seemed to indicate,
and the house was being racked by an
earthquake, at the moment reaching the
floor I was
Almost Stunned by n Concussion
That could hardly have been exceeded
by fifty peals of thunder in one grand
crash at the same instant. There seemed
to be a general smash of all the glass
and crockery in the house, as though
the whole house was tumbling about our
ears. I hadn’t the least idea but that it
meant annihilation to myself and fam
ily, and it was several moments before I
could realize to the contrary, and then
was I only aroused by the screams and
cries of the other members of my family,
who came rushing to my room for pro
tection. Of course seeing them all
around, and haviug come from all the
different parts of my house and the tur
moil having ceased, I at once realized
the fact that whatever the danger might
have been, or the cause thereof, it was
now past, and I soon by soothing words
was able to convince the rest of them of
that fact, and we set to work to examine
the wreck.
Singular Circumstances.
Before I went to bed every window
shutter had been carefully fastened by
myself. Now every one stood wide open,
oultcard, while the glass from the win
dows had, seemingly by a contrary im
pulse, been driven inward, covering the
carpet with a shower of glass reaching
fifteen f.eet across the room and through
the open door, six feet across the hall.
Upon going down to the first floor the
same condition of affairs existed, glass
covering every inch of the parlor floors.
In the basement it was the same, with
the addition that the two outer doors
had burst off locks aud bolts, and were
standing wide open, the bolts of the
locks bent inward, showing the same
characteristics as the blinds aud win
dows npstairs had shown ; that the
vacuum on the outside of the house,
caused by the explosion, had rendered
the air on the inside a power of such
prtency as to almost rend the house
asunder, until happily relieved by th
bursting of the doors and blinds outward,
while the sash and glass were thrown
inward by the reaction that immediate
ly followed the restoration of the equili
brium outside.
A Fearful Visitation.
After clearing away the wreck and
makiug everything as secure as possible
uuder the circumstances for the night, 1
started out to see how my neighbors
had fared, and found that the houses
west of me, that is going away from the
seat of the explosion, were damaged
much the same as mine, while going
cast, toward it, ruin increased iu a pro
portionate ratio. Mr. Hamlin, who re
•iutM about a hundred feet east and
across the way, in addition to the break
ing of glass and doors, had a large plate
glass mirror broken, as had also Mr.
Bailey, the next neighbor. Heury Rog
ers’ new house, which had only been
finished a few months, lost nearly every
window. So far as I have mentioned,
thele was no damage to the main struc
ture or to the walls, but on the east of
the block, including the handsome three
story French roof house of Charles F.
Staples, the Swiss villas of Mr. Heppen
lieiiner and of Mrs. Jansic, the ceilings
are all tumbled down, the hardwood
wainscoting bulged, and panels driven
ont, and not a single pane of glass left,
and in many oases the whole sash was
driven clean across the rooms. On Pali
sade avenue, the street running parallel
with the brow of the hill on which stood
the magazine that exploded, the houses
facing it were badly damaged in the
ceilings, doors, etc.
Brick** Sent With the Force of i annou Ball*.
But in no case that I have examined
has there been any damage to the main
structure, except it is Noa. 108 and 200,
the first occupied by Edgar tvogers, a
lawyer, where three bricks from the
magazine, entering abont six feet above
the second floor, passed through the
outer shell of the house, clean through
the partition wall in the centre of the
house, lodging in the wall in the rear,
making as clean cats through both walls
as a rifled cannon ball would. Two of
them are near the north end of the
room, directly over the bed of Mr.
Rogers’ five year old daughter Jennie,
who was taken from the bed without re
ceiving a scratch, although the bed was
oovered from head to foot at least two
inches deep with debris composed of
plaster and glass. The third brick pass-
ed through about eight feet south of the
others, directly in the rear of a looking
glass attached to a maple barean, slew
ing the glass and bnreau half way round
without cracking the glass. Major
Harris and his wife, living next door at
Fo. 200, received a single missile of the
same description. They were both
somewhat hurt by the falling plaster and
glass, bat not seriously.
The Mao j Freaks of the Explosion
Would be both a study and a puzzle.
Mr. Steele’s large double frame house,
only a short distance from where the
explosion took place, was almost un
harmed, while the glass, doors and ceil
ings of Mr. Foster’s house, a whole
block farther down Palisade avenue, are
almost completely destroyed. His daugh
ter, Mrs. Westervelt, of Troy, was
thrown clear across the .room by the
concussion, but without receiving any
serious harm.
Work for Glaziers.
I walked about eight blockß on Pali
sade avenue, and there was not a house
or store that had not work for the
glazier. Another freak is to be seen at,
I think, No. 381 Palisade avenue—a
store with two large plate glass win
dows, at least eight by ten feet, neither
one with a crack in it, while nearly all
the cr#nary sized panes in tbe house
are broken, as is the case with every
other one for blocks on each side of it.
What has been given above is from my I
own observation. You will, of coarse,
get more general statements as to
causes, etc., from other sources, bnt
any that describes a single buildiDg as
having fallen down, and that it will re
quire to be pulled down to rebuild, is
pure exaggeration. I have conversed
with every prominent property holder
who has been a sufferer, and from not a
single one have I heard a murmur as to
the loss of property, but all seemed
ready to give praise to God that the
lives which, a short time before, had
seemed to be passing the very portals of
the grave, had been vouchsafed to them
selves and their families again. As for
myself, whose life has not been' without
its dangers, never before have I experi
enced the terrors of the past night.
Yours truly, J. H. D.
A CHILD OF ROMANCE.
A School Girl Elope* With Iler RoomOlate’s
Betrothed—A Remarkable History.
[From the New York Herald.]
Eldbed, Pa., May 6, 1876.—Among
the young people of the best circles of
Eldred, “Blessie” Cookton, aged 16,
adopted daughter of Jerome Cookton,
a rich farmer, was an acknowled leader.
She recently returned home from a
Philadelphia boarding school, where she
had been a pupil for four years, making
occasional visits home. On one of these
visits, about a year ago, she met Alva
Evans, the son of an iron founder, of
London, Canada. He was visiting this
section with a party of other youDg men
for the purpose of trout fishing. Evans
fell in love with Miss Cookton. The re
sult was that a correspondence was
opened and kept up between the two
and a marriage fixed upon, to be con
summated wbeu Miss “Blessie” should
have reached the age of 18.
The room-mate and “particular friend”
of the young lady at school was Frances
Peters, of Petersville, N. Y. She was
two years the senior of “Blessie,” and
left school some time before the latter.
Miss Peters is a blonde, exceedingly at
tractive, aud of a dashing and reckless
nature. At the house of a friend in
Philadelphia she met Isaac Bell, a
young man, represented to be of an old
family and wealthy. The young people
formed an attachment for each other—
at least Miss Peters fell deeply iu love
with Bell. As her parents had other
matrimonial prospects marked out for
her at home, she kept her acquaintance
with young Bell
A Secret
Prom them, but, it seems, promised to
marry him at some future day. Not be
ing able to have her lover visit her at
home, Miss Peters made an arrangement
with Miss Cookton by which she was to
pay the latter a visit, when Mr. Bell was
to go also and stay a few days. To add
to the completeness of the arrangement,
“Blessie” wrote to her Canadian be
trothed, and he was to join the visiting
party. v
Miss Peters came to Eldred about the
middle of April, and in a few days
thereafter Isaac Bell made his appear
ance. Miss “Blessie” liked him from
the first. It was near the latter part of
April before Mr. Evans came from Cana
da. During the two weeks that had
elapsed since the coming of Mr. Bell,
Miss Cookton had transferred her affec
tions to her friend’s betrothed, and his
love toward Miss Peters had visibly
grown cold. It did not take the jealous
eye of Miss Peters and the young Cana
dian long to notice the change, as it af
fected them respectively, but they had
no idea that it was anything more than
a temporary flirtation. On the arrival
of young Mr. Evans “Blessie” planned a
May Day Party.
For an excursion to the mouutains. Ou
Wednesday morning the party started, in
accordance with previous arrangements.
Miss Uookton and Mr. Evans in one car
riage and the visiting couple in another.
Ou reaching the woods the party stroll
ed at random. They naturally got some
what separated; but while Miss Peters
and the Canadian were always in halloo
ing distance of each other it seemed that
the other couple strolled further away.
The occasion seemed to be one of no
pleasure to Evans and Miss Peters, and
they, after an hour so, met near the
edge of the woods and sat down to await
the return of the other couple. They
sat there talking for an hour or more,
and as there was yet no sign of either
Bell or Miss Cookton, both Evans aud
Miss Peters betrayed evidence of un
easiness and alarm. The Canadian told
his companion to remain iu her seat,
and he would walk back over the hill
and look for “Blessie,” as lie was fear
ful she had lost her way. He was ab
sent a long time, aud finally returned,
looking pale and anxious. Ho had seen
nothing of either of the missing young
folks. Miss Peters was
Greatly Agitated
Over the result of his search, but she
nor Evans at that time entertained the
slighest suspicion that the prolonged
absence of the two was by design or
that they were together. They return
ed to the farm house where the carriage
had been left, in order to give an alarm
and have a thorough search made. They
found that the conveyance in which
Evans and “Blessie” had come was gone.
For the first time
A Terrible Suspicion Crossed Their Minds.
A farjner told them that a young man
and a young woman had come off the
mountain about noon, and getting into
the carraige, had driven rapidly off in
the direction of Minot Station. Evans
would not believe that the conduct of
“Blessie” and Bell was anything more
than a girlish prank, and was confident
that they would find them at home. On
reaching the farm they found they were
still absent. Miss Peters hastened to
her room to hide her emotion. Iu a few
moments she sought and found Evans
walking in the yard, and placed a note
in his hand. It read as follows ;
Dear Frank—So greatly do Hove Mr.
Bell that I hava given up ail for him. I
hope you will be brave enough to bear
up, aud think of me as the most cruel
creature in the world. Tell Alva I have
not the courage to write to him nor to
father and mother. We are going to be
married, aud intend to return to Eldred
when the gossips are through with ns.
Farewell, Frank. Bid Alva farewell for
me. I hope he had learned to hate me be
fore this. B. C.
Evans coolly handed the note back to
Miss Peters, and remarked quietly :
“I am glad to have found the young
lady out before it was too late.”
Attempted Suicide.
The same evening he was driven to
the railroad and returned to Canada.—
the farmer’s family took the matter
very calmly. Miss Peters, however,
was found lying in her bed, about 7
o’clock the same evening, oovered with
blood. With a small penknife she had
severed the large arteries of both arms,
and was nearly unconscious from loss
of blood. But for the timely discovery
of her situation she would soon have
been past all aid. Her wounds were
bound up, and a doctor summoned,
who now has her in charge. Her pa
rents were sent for and arrived here this
morning. They will remove their un
fortunate daughter to her home as soon
as they can with safety.
A Romantic History.
“Blessie ” Cookton has a remarkable
hLstorv. She was found, in the Summer
of 1860, on the doorstep of farmer Cook
ton’s house, in a basket. Accompany
ing the infant was this note ;
“This child’s father is the son of a
Senator of the United States. Its mo
ther is a gipsy girl, who has been con
verted to Christ and cannot bear the
thonght of this innocent creatufe grow
ing in ignorance and vice. Is there
room for it here ? Its little wings are
weary, and. like the dear Jesus, it has
no place to lay its head. Turn it not
away, but keep it for the love of Christ.”
The child was a bright little thing,
and as the farmer had no children he
and his wife concluded to adopt it as
their own. It came to be snch a sun
shine in the house that they gave it the
name of “Blessing,” which was subse
quently turned into “Blessie.”
The Treasury Department has given
notice of “ counterfeits” of silver coin,
which contain the full value of metal,
aud are counterfeit, however, having
been coined by private persons, and not
by the Government.
THE DEATH PENALTY.
HAYS SENTENCED TO BE HUNG.
The Doomed 3(an Completely Unnerved—
Affecting Scene at tbe Jail*
Yesterday morning Judge Gibson hav
ing determined to sentence John B.
Hays, convicted of the murder of John
Henry Key, sent an officer to the jail
after the condemned man. Hays’ wife
was at the prison when the officer ar
rived, and an affecting scene ensued.
Her screams rent the air, and for a time
it seemed as if she wonld go into con
vulsions, Hays himself was scarcely
less agitated. The cool demeanor which
he bore through both trials entirely de
serted him, aud he shook and trembled
like an aspen leaf. He was finally es
corted away from the jail, his wife’s
agonized cries ringing in his ears as he
walked up the street. His arrival in
the Court room created quite a sensa
tion. When the Court asked the coun
sel if they had anything to say why sen
tence should not be passed upon the
prisoner, Major J. B. Cumming rose in
his place and said:
“Counsel for theprisoner intend to file
a motion for anew trial, it is not ne
cessary in order to preserve all the
rights of the prisoner to file the motion
to-day. On the contrary, his rights
would seem to require that the motion
should be prepared with more care and
deliberation than counsel have been
able to bestow on it in the short inter
val which has elapsed since the trial. It
might have been anticipated that of
course such motio'n would be made, and
now counsel remove all doubt by stating
in their places that such motion is in
preparation and will be filed before the
dual adjournment of the Court. That
motiorf will operate as a supersedeas of
any judgment pronounced to-day, and
it is quite certain that no sentence
passed to-day will be carried into
execution. What right of the State,
then, demands that a sentence
should be pronounced which can be
nothing more than a form ? What
ends of justice will be promoted by pro
nouncing a judgment which loses even
the merit of solemnity, when it is
known at the time it is uttered that
it is not to be carried into execution ?
I think I have shown that it is not ia
the interest of the administration of
justice to pronounce sentence at this
time. But with that I have nothing to
do. My province and privilege are
to speak in behalf of the prisoner at
the bar, and I say in his behalf that if
no public interest demands his sen
tence at this time, there seem to be suf
ficient considerations why it should not
be pronounced. I know your Honor
would not unnecessarily add a single
drop to the prisoner’s already full eup
of misery, and yet—l say it most re
spectfully—to sentence him now would
be to do that. I know your Honor
would not needlessly add another pang
to his utter wretchedness, but with per
fect respect I say it—to sentence him
now would be to do that. It will be
time enough for that solemn duty,
when the highest Court of the State
shall have reviewed this case—after
which, iu any event, judgment of some
sort will have to be pronounced. We
trust the law will then be satisfied with
a milder sentence than the only one your
Honor can no* pronounce. Bnt at any
rate, the pronouncing of any earlier sen
tence will be but the enactment of a
scene productive of no good to society
and full of bitterness to the prisoner.
This is what we have to say why sentence
should not be passed upon the prisoner
at the bar.”
Judge Gibson said, substantially: The
views presented by counsel have great
force and make me hesitate. It is no
pleasant duty to me to pass sentence
upon the prisoner. I purposely post
poned doing so at the time the verdict
was rendered that I might consider
whether my duty required me to pass
sentence at this time. I have come to
the conclusion that it does. A judg
ment must be rendered on every verdict.
Until that is done there is nothing final;
there is nothing which can be taken to
the Supreme Court. For fear of any
mistake in this matter, I will pronounce
judgment now. If a motion for anew
trial is to be filed I will take pleasure in
granting an order of supersedeas, and I
will take more pleasure in doing that
than in what lam about to do now. I
shall not trouble the prisoner to stand
up, but will read to him the little I have
to say.
He then sentenced Hays in the fol
lowing words :
Mr. Hays—lt is no pleasant duty to
impose the severest penalty of the law
upon a fellow-citizen. The laws against
murder in your case provides no other
than the death penalty upon him who is
found guilty. However much I may
feel moved to extend mercy to you, duty
to society, fidelity to trust RDd the im
perative demands of justice compels me
to sentence you to be hanged on the
sixteenth day of June next, ou or near
the commons, in the city of Augusta,
and county of Richmond, by the neck,
until you are dead, dead, dead.
Hays was terribly affected while the
sentence was being pronounced and
wept freely. He has changed to a great
extent during the last few days. He ap
pears to be in miserable health, and it
would not surprise us if death in a
natural form takes him away before the
final termination of the case in the
Courts.
It is generally understood that if
Judge Gibson refuses to grant anew
trial the case will be carried up to the
Supreme Court,
Death of Capt. L. H. Luke.—Capt.
L. H. Luke, a prominent citizen of
Columbia county, died yesterday morn
ing. He was for many years Tax Col
lector of that county, and was highly
esteemed and respected. His funeral
will take place from his late residence,
this morning at ten o’clock.
A New Jersey street car man wrote to
his sweet heart : “I don’t care much
what I do, you seem to feel stuck up
above a hoss car driver ; if my hands is
large my hart is to. I want yer to un
derstand that it is easy ter cry tears, but
at the same time yer hart may be tuf
feren a bell strap.”

tures, and the decline has been veiy marked.
The sales for the week have been 205,600 bales
for futqres and 6,646 bales on the spot.
