Father Wilds’ EXPERIENCE- The Rev. Z. I*. Wilds, well-known city missionary in New York, and brother of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes as follows: “78 E. 54th St., yew York, May 16, 1882. Messrs. J. C. Ayer & Co., Gentlemen : Last winter I was troubled with a most uncomfortable itching humor affecting more especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intense ly, that 1 could scarcely bear any clothing over them. 1 was also a sufferer from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my appetite was jioor, and my system a good deal run down. Knowing tlie value of AVer’s Sarsaparilla, by observation of many other cases, aud from personal use in former years, L began taking it for the above-named disorders. My appetite im proved almost from the first dose. After a short time the fever and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough were also cured by the same means, and iny general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per sent stronger, and I attribute these results to the use of the Sarsaparilla, which 1 recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever devised. 1 took it in small doses three times a day, and used, in all, less than two bottles, I place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good. Yours respectfully, Z. P. WILDS.” The above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove the perfect adaptability of Ayer’s Sarsa parilla to the cure of all diseases arising from impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood, stimulates the action of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrofu lous Diseases, Eruptions of the Skin, Rheu matism, Catarrh, General Debility, and all disorders resulting from poor or corrupted blood and a low state of the system.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1884. BY CABLE AND WIRE. BLAINE’S EYE ON FLORIDA. A Glimpse at Republican Plans tor its Capture. Washington, August 26.—Florida is one of the Southern States which the Blaine managers intend to try for. A fusion of Republicans with a body of Democrats styling themselves Independents is the way it was expected that a chance for giving the electoral vote to Blaine would be created. The negotiations have been pro gressing for some time and the forms have been gone through with. Just as the scheme appeared Io be working well unexpected opposition of a serious character has grown up. Dennis Eagan is one of the oldest, most capable and reputable of the Florida Re publican leaders. He was Arthur’s Inter nal Revenue Collector at Jacksonville. He has just become Arthur’s appointee to step from his present office into that of Collec'or of Customs at Key West in the place of Wicker, removed. He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention that nominated Blaine and stood for Arthur through thick and thin. The collectorship at»l<ey Wen was conferred on him immediately on his return home. E. M. Cheeney is United States District Attorney, appointed by Arthur. He has been foremost from the very beginning as a leader of the Republicans in that State. Neither of these gentlemen will support the plan, the prime object of which is to give the four electoral votes of Florida to Blaine. Both oppose it and refuse to listen to arguments in favor of it. Wicker was removed from the Key West Collectorship nominally on account of sym pathy with Cuban filibusters, but really be cause he was insubordinate as a Republican. Eagan, who is one of the bosses and be lieves iu bossism, is rewarded with promo tion for his devotion to Arthur. Ostensibly to keep the party drill up he was appointed to succeed Wicker. But he is a bolter from the start, and Cheeney, the Federal officer next in rank, keeps him company. Two more thoroughly cold chilled party men are nowhere to be found, and in bolting the Blaine movement they are acting on some thing else than mere caprice. Were Ar thur to remove them, as he removed Wicker, for precisely this sort of thing, no one would believe that they are acting on superior orders. It requires no great stretch of imagina tion to see that Florida may become very important to Blaine. Anyone wishing his defeat would not omit Florida from his plan for accomplishing that object. BACK TO THE SUNNY LAND. Italians Tiring 1 of the Land of the Free. New York, August 26. —The fact has just come to light that the Italians are leaving New York and returning to Italy in droves. The last three steamers have taken out over fifteen hundred of them, among the poorer classes of Italians and those who have been the shortest time in this country. Almost ever one who can scrape together enough money to pay pas sage is turning his face toward his native land. The causes of this exodus aie said to be the cessation of railroad enterprises and the prejudice which the Italians have excited among the Irish. When the Nickle-Plate and West Shore Roads were being built the contractors sent money abroad to pay the expenses of Italians to come to this country and work on the road. On cessation of the railroad work the emigrants found nothing open to them. Those who undertook to become ’long shoreman and track-walkers found intense opposition from the Irish. There being no Italian employers to whom they could go, they had either to starve or return to Italy. In the meantime Italian immigra tion to this country has ceased. His Trot Postponed—Bonner May Buy the Little Gelding. New Yoke, August 26. —The trot of Jay- Eye-See against time, advertised for to-day at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, Brook lyn, has been postponed on account of rain until Thursday, the 28th inst. Mr. Bonner said last night that if Jay- Eye-See beats Maud S.’s record be will buy him, aud that negotiations have been going on with Mr. Case to that end. Hanged and Riddled. Arkansas City, Ark., August 26. Abe Liviugston, who escaped from the county jail here about six weeks ago, was arrested by a special deputy sheriff last ■ night at the mouth of White river, this county. The officer started for this city with his prisoner yesterday, but was confronted by a body of masked men and Liviugston was demanded. The officer being overpow ered, delivered up his man aud the mob took him a few rods into the woods and hanged him to a tree, afterward riddling ■ his body with bullets. Livingston, since his recent escape from jail, has made several attempts to kill Wm. Kite, for whose rob bery he was held to answer. Ex-Benator McDonald on the Situation. Chicago, August 26. —The Democratic party iu our State was never in better shape, said Senator McDonald. We have no defec tions there. At Indianapolis the largest delegations in attendance at our ratification meeting were from the Irish wards. The Prohibition vote will not be large, nor will Butler get more than 12,000 votes iu the State. The Republicans will be weakened by both the Prohibitionists and the Green backers. Crossing the Atlantic in Shells. St. Pierre, Miqueton, August 26. — The dory Bibber, Capt. Traynor from New York, crossing the Atlantic was landed here on a French schooner yester day. It had been run into and broken up by a steamer. Traynor is well and will repair the shell and go on. The schooner, also passed a flesh colored dory with two dead men aboard.

Portland, Ore , August 26.—The Cus tom House officials at Port Townsend, Washington Territory, on Sunday, captured nine fugitive Chinamen who had smuggled themselves across the border from British Columbia.

The Warrant for Governor Ireland. Austin, Tex., August 26—United States Marshal Jos. G. Tracy arrived in Austin last evening. He says that unless ordered to the contrary he will arrest Gov. Ireland to day. A CALL FOR HEMP. Seven Subjects for the Halter. Chattanooga, Tenn., August 26.—Two negroes named McLani Lindsey and Na than Rivers, were arrested in this city yes terday, charged with attempting to outrage Mrs. Lacy, a highly respected lady of Rhea county, a few days ago. They went to the lady’s house in her husbands absence, and threatened to kill her if she did not sub mit. Her screams brought assistance before they could accomplish their object. The negroes stoutly deny their guilt, but they will be taken to the scene of the crime to day. They will hardly escape lynchiug, as there are now five white men in the county jail who, three weeks ago, committed one of the most heinous crimes of this character in the annals of the State. The county is wild with excitement. A Triple Tragedy at u Grave. Waco, Tex., August 26. —It was report ed here yesterday that a terrible tragedy oc curred on Sunday, in Coryell county, over the grave of a young man named Graham, who was recently stabbed and killed by a companion. The elder Graham met his son’s assassin, accompanied by the latter’s father, at the place where young Graham was buried. Angry words were exchanged, leading to a desperate battle, which ended in the death of all three of the participants. New York Stock Market.

An Interesting- Budget of News. Special Correspondence of the Savannah Daily Times. Macon, August 25.—Sunday morning about 2 o’clock, a negro church, in the southern part of the city, was burned. It was called Rev. Eli Smith’s church. This is the second church that the Rev. Eli has lost on that particular spot. 11 was a new one—just completed, and was decidedly “fixed up” in the way of carpets and the like. Eli has enemies. The churches over which he has presided have always been noisy, warlike affairs, it is suspected that the fire in this instance was the work of some of his wicked enemies. A little negro boy was killed in this city on Sunday. An old pistol that “wasn’t loaded” did the work. It was found in a yard near Tattnall Square by another small negro, and the two began to frolic over it. At length one of them looked down the muzzle of it, while the other pulled the trigger. The bullet went in at the eye, and death was almost instantaneous, in no other way do the fool and the pistol ever permanently part company. Mrs. Wm. R. Taylor, sos Vineville, re cently went on a visit to Atlanta, leaving an old negro man on her premises to act as a guard. On Wednesday night the old man saw a light in the house, and going out to it called out to inquire who was within. At the sound of his voice the light went out, and he supposed that Mrs. Taylor had re turned, and gave himself no more concern about it. Next morning, however, he saw several articles of clothing lying in the yard and having his suspicion aroused thereat, he went to the window and peered through. The evidence of disorder within caused him to notify a near neighbor of the absent lady, who was telegraphed for. She returned on Saturday night, and, in company with Col. Ike Hardeman and others, inspected the house. Every drawer in the building was found to have been broken open and rifled. The wardrobes had been ransacked. In a rear room, a new feather bed was found ripped open and the feathers emptied out on the floor, but the ticking was gone, It is supposed it was used to carry off’the various stolen goods, which embraced every article of bed clothing in the house, wearing apparel, silver spoons, knives and forks, two clocks and various other portable articles. The villains made a clean sweep In one of the rooms, a large part of the floor had been saturated with kerosene oil, and bits of burnt paper were found lying around. In the parlor a large hole was found to have been burnt in the carpet. Out in the hallway a partly filled demijohn of kerosene oil was found, showing that the miscreant intended to add the crime of arson to that of burglary. It is the most ex tensive and notable case of the kind known in this neighborhood for a long time. Mrs. Peter Harris, a lady living in the southern part of the city, was standing in her gateway, on Sunday afternoon, watch ing her husband in his efforts to catch a horse in the garden. The animal, in trying to escape, ran through the gate, and the lady was knocked down and seriously bruised about the head and shoulders. Judge T. J. Simmons has just returned from a pleasant trip to New York, and is looking healthy and strong. A finer speci men of manhood would be hard to find. Your correspondent had the pleasure of meeting him this afternoon and of learning from him cheering news from Democratic headquarters in the Empire State. The outlook is in the highest degree encourag ing, and every true Southern man will re joice to know it. I feel at liberty to make thisstatement in a general way. The Judge did not suspect that 1 would put him in the Times, but as it is good, honest Democratic company, I know he will not object. Macon. The Expellee: B’Nai B’Kith Lodges. Bultimore Sun. A meeting of those members of the Has monea and Jedidjah Lodges, I. O. B. 8., who were lately expelled by the District Grand Lodge, No. 5, for non-compliance with the Grand Lodge’s order, was held at Standard Hall yesterday morning, Mr. Moses Moses presiding and Louis Groedel secretary. The meeting was well attended and the situation fully discussed. It was resolved to disregard the District Grand Lodge’s action, but to work on under the charters granted by the State of Maryland ten years ago. It was aUo resolved to pay all benefits which becom. due. A petition is meanwhile being circulated among the loyal members of the lodges for new char ters, which, when sufficient signatures are obtained, will be forwarded to the Grand Lodge, which will then grant them. The Hard Luck of Melon Shippers. The Boston Herald of August 19th says: “Saturday was a busy day for Provisions Inspector Davis, who condemned a large quantity of watermelons out of the thou sands he inspected at the warehouses of Southern steamers. One lot of 1,700 melons, shipped by Bryant Weathersbee, of Willis ton, S. C., was seized at the Norfolk boat; also, at the Savannah boat, one lot of 1,226 melons shipped by S. M. Perkins, of Macon, Ga., two lots of 671 and 604 respectively shipped by J. C. Weisenbacker, of Val dosta, Ga., and 50 more shipped by J. M. Helles, of Lawton, Ga. Os the entire cargo of 16,000 melons landed by the Gate City, 7,000 were condemned and sent to the city scow. During the week the inspector seized 11,000 melons, 4' 0 barrels cante loupes, 50 barrels and crates of potatoes and tomatoes, and 400 pounds of tainted meat.” United States Libel Case. Charleston News and Courier. A few days ago a collision was reported between the British steamer Kate Fawcett, Capt. Savill, from Philadelphia for Coosaw, and the schooner S. R. Soper, Capt. Potter, from Baltimore to New York. The Soper was run down and sunk on the 18th inst. All hands were saved, but all their effects • were lost. Libels have been filed in the United States Court against the Kate Faw cett by the owners of the schooner Soper for the value of the vessel and cargo, amounting to $35,000. Bonds have been required for $70,000. Make No Mistake. About what ? Why, about the place to call when you wish to secure something nobby and nice in the gents’ furnishing line. Well, where is it ?

The New Orleans Times-Democrat of Sunday says : “Mr. F. C. Shepard, general freight agent of the Pensacola amt Atlantic, arrived iu this city yesterday for the purpose of inter viewing the merchants of this city, in or der to see if it is not possible to bring all of the cotton trade of Florida to New Or leans. The first three bales of cotton raised in Florida arrived here yesterday via the L. and N. road, and it is expected that more shipments will follow, as the price of cotton here is one-half cent higher than it is in Savannah. A short time ago the merchants of Savannah raised a howl because a great deal of business was carried to New Orleans from a territory which they believed be longed entirely to them. It is natural to suppose, however, that if New Orleans offers better prices, cotton and other products will come this way. “The management of the Pensacola and Atlantic road are doing all they can to • bring business to this city, for the reason that Florida is naturally a territory which should be supplied by New Orleans. A steamer named after Mr. W. D. Chipley, General Manager of the Pensacola aud Atlantic, is now plying on the Chattahoo chee, between Columbus, Ga., and Junction City, where a connection is made with the Pensacola and Atlantic road. The steamer Chipley, it is safe to say, will capture a great deal of cotton, which will find its way oyer the Pensacola and Atlantic road to New Orleans. “Mr. Shepard, general freight agent of the P. and A., is anxious to do all he can to direct cotton to this city, and it now re mains for the merchants here to take steps to secure all the cotton possible in Florida, and also to reach out into Georgia. From information received it appears that there are large lots of cotton along the Flint river in Georgia, which can be controlled by this city if the merchants will make an effort to capture it. “It is very probable that before Mr. Shep ard leaves here the merchants will decide upon a plan of action.” The Times-Democrat comments upon the above as follows: “The attempt to secure the cotton trade of Southwestern Georgia and Florida for New Orleans, which was begun last year and met with considerable success, bringing here a considerable amount of cotton that had hitherto gone to Savannah, is not to be abandoned this season; but the railroads in terested in that section will make more earnest efforts than ever in the interest of New Orleans. The Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad penetrating this country,and which through the Louisville and Nashville, is connected with New Orleans, is now per fecting arrangements to place a line of steamefs on the Flint and Chattahoochee rivers, to run between Columbus, Ga., and Apalachicola, Fla., so as to bring the cotton to city. This movement is in the interest of this New Orleans, and will bring a valuable trade here. It deserves all the encourage ment and assistance our merchants can give it.” In thil connection the following note addressed to the Editor of the Times by Mr. E F. Bryan Superintendent of tlw Savannah Cotton Exchange will be fomM pertinent to the question as well a» in structive. Editor Savannah Daily Times.— The following is a copy of a printed postal card received by a cotton merchant of Savannah from one of his patrons in Florida: New Orleans, August 21, 1884. Dear Sir—We beg to call your attention to the fact that New Orleans quotes mid dling to-day at 10 9-16 c., while Savannah quotations for same grade is lOJc., a differ ence of nearly }c. Soliciting your shipments, to which our best attention is assured, we are yours truly, S. Bloch & Co. 1 beg to advise merchants and planters iu the country not to permit themselyes to be misled by information of the nature con tained in the postal card of Messrs. Bloch & Co, for they are careful to conceal the fact that the New Orleans quotation is for old cotton, while the Savannah quotation is for new cotton—the differences frequently amounting to even more than }c. per j pound. 1 Again, the postal card referred to con- fl ceals the fact that in New Orleans a higher fl grade of cotton is called middling than in fl Savannah. These circumstances have been hid, but I trust and believe they are understood in the country. If a bale New Orleans middling had been in uah on August 21, iu all probability sale would have been made at 10}c., wliiclflK is l-16c. better than the New tation—the only difference being they called it middling, we in this market would have called it strict good middling. Charleston quotes middling to-day at 11 cents, but there is no mention of this fact iu Messrs. Bloch & Co.’s postal card. Aud while on the subject we would simply say that Charleston grades even higher than New Orleans or Savannah, but the facts in the case are that while the different mar kets may call different grades middling and quote accordingly, you get just as much value for your goods sent to Savannah as to any cotton port in America. Don’t be misled by Messrs. Bloch & Co, or any one else who may solicit your busi ness, by such meagre statements, behind which the real facts leading to the cause of the difference referred to are concealed. Respectfully, E. F. Bryan. [Mr. Bryan’s position and wide experience give weight to his remarks, and should con vince any one that it is an error to ship cot ton to New Orleans from the Chattahoochee section, or indeed, from any other territory within convenient reach of Savannah.— Ed.
