TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
BLAINE’S LIBEL SUIT.
What the Sentinel Says About its With
drawal.
Indianapolis, Dec., 19.—The Sentinel,
under the heading of ‘‘Good-bye, Mr.
Plaintiff Blaine,” says editorially: We had
no doubt but that Mr. Blaine would sooner
or later make a virtue of necessity by step
ping down and out of court. Mt. Blaine is
no doubt familliar with the wise proverb;
“The prudent man forseeeth the evil and
hideth himself,” and has concluded not to
have applied to himself the converse ending
of the same passage. “But the wicked pass
on and are punished.”
If we were impelled to criticise Mr.
Blaine’s judgment in bringing the suit, we
at least will compliment it in deciding to
drop it. In the language of Mr. Sam Wel
ler to Mr. Pickwick (when, after the latter’s
adventure with the lady in yellow curl
papers, he resolved never to trust himself in
the hotel again); “that’s the very prudentest
resolution as you could come to, sir.”
THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
Getting Rsady to Vacate His Office.
Ala any, N. Y., Dec. 19.- Governor
Cleveland is rapidly getting the ass irs of
his office into shape so they can be easily
transferred to his successor, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hill. Both gentlemen have worked
together on the forthcoming message to the
Legislature, and as soon as it meets, Gov
ernor Cleveland will give up his
place to Mr. Hill. Immediately after
his resignation as Governor of New
York, Mr. Cleveland will make a short visit
to Buffalo. There are a number of private
business matters that must be cleared up,
and in his old law office are private papers
which must be taken care of. It is not
kuown how long the Governor will remain
in Buffalo, but the executive mansion will
be at his command until he goes to Wash
ington.
A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Brutal Assassination of a Mississippian,
Followed by Bobbery.
Memphis, Dec. 19 —The Avalanche’s
Jackson (Miss.) special says: ‘‘Parties on
last evening’s train report a horrible murder
four miles from Hazlehur t, Miss , Wednes
day night. Mr. Somerville, an old bachelor
living with his widowed sister, was called to
the door about midnight, and as he opened
the door was shot down, falling dead on the
floor. The assasins were three negroes, who
threatened to kill the old lady,but she begged
them to take what they wanted and spare
her ife. They took a trunk belonging to
Mr. Somerville which contained about
$2,000, and escaped. Two negrqgs have
beeu arrested near Hazlehurst on suspicion,
with strong circumstantial evidence against
them. The excitement runs high in the
vicinity, and if they are proven guiby, they
will be lynched. Somerville was one of the
most respected citizens of the county.

The Cold Wave.
As predicted by the weather prophets the
cold wave struck Savannah last evening,and
after 6 o’clock the change of the atmos
phere could be perceptibly felt. By 10
o'clock it was freezing cold. Everyone was
hurrying home overcoated and gloved, and
and seeking a comfortable seat by the warm
fireside. This morning the day dawned
clear and bright, the atmosphere being dry
and crackling, and the rays of old Sol com,
ing out in full force. The weather has im
ported a feeling of buoyancy to all, and the
step of the merchant as he walked to his
place of business was full of electricity. The
merry gambols of the school children romp
ing along the street was another sign of the
bracing atmosphere. Indeed, it is a treat to
have such weather, and it is only hoped
that it will continue for at least a few days.
Saturated Mall Pouches.
To-day about 10 o’clock the Northern
mail, which was on the train wrecked on
the Cape Fear river, arrived at the post
office about as wet as it could be. It con
sisted of two pouches full of letters, books,
papers, etc., all of which were completely
saturated with water, in some instances it
being almost impossible to decipher the
addresses. Several books were so badly wet
that they will be useless. As sonn as re
ceived the clerks took hold of it, emptied it
out on tables and scattered it out
to dry, after which the matter was
distributed. On this account there
some delay in delivering it as tl e
clerks find it impossible to do anything with
the letters in their present condition, and
they are required to be handled carefully as
they contain many money orders Several
Christmas presents in the pouches were
damaged beyond redemption. Everything
will be delivered to the address in just the
condition in which it was received here
to-day.
The Theatre.
The Kittie Rhoades Combination appear
ed last night at the Theatre to a small
audience. The play of “Confusion”
was presented. This evening “En
gaged:” which was given on Wednesday
night, will be repeated, and to-morrow at
the matinee “Fanchon, the Cricket ”
A feature of the matinee will be
the grand distribution of Christmas presents
for the children.

CITY NEWS AND GOSSIP.
THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
luteresting Interview with Maj .D. C.Bacon
—Everything Being Gotten in Ship
shape as Rapidly as Possible.
This morning, Major D. C. Bacon,
United States Commissioner from Georgia
to the great Cotton Centennial and World’s
Fair, at New Orleans, returned home from
a brief visit to that city. He was promptly
subjected to an interview by a representa
tive of the Times, and from him the fol
lowing interesting information was elicited.
The general exhibit has progressed as
far as he anticipated, though persons not
familiar with the difficulties in the way of
getting such a tremendous enterprise in good
working order may be as yet, somewhat dis
appointed. There are now at least 3,000
car loads of articles on the grounds not un
loaded, and not Half of the space is covered,
but if the work of unloading is continued at
the rate at which it is being
carried on at present, in ten or
fifteen days from now the Alain and Govern
ment buildings will be pretty well filled.
T e Machinery Hal), however, will not be
ready for about thirty days yet, so all those
interested specially in the machinery part of
the exhibit had better deer their visit for
a month. All others who go simply as sight
seeis can even now enjoy a good show, and
canjspend three or four days on the grounds
without seeing all that is to be seen. The
exhibits from the various States and Terri
tories, and from the general government,
already in position far surpass the Philadel
phia Centennial. The exhibits from the
Western States and Territories are simply
superb, and are a magnificent display of
minera's, ores, grains and grasses, arranged
in the most artistic style. It is worth a
trip to New Orleans to see these exhibits
alone
As far as Georgia is concerned, neither
the Empire State of the North nor of the
South have one pound of freight yet in
place. There are four or five car loads of
Georgia material on the grounds waiting to
be unloaded. The reason of the delay is
that these cars had to go to the City via
the L. &. N. Railroad, which is a five foot
gauge, while the tracks leading to the
grounds is of four feet eight and a-half
inches gauge, and getting the cars from the
broad to the narrow gauge consumes a great
deal of time and labor. From twenty-five
to 100 cars are being unloaded daily, and
men are employed to do nothing else but
get these cars to the grounds and see to
their contents being sent to their proper
desti ation.
The delay in getting the articles on the
ground-, Major Bacon thinks, is due to the
fact that the roads did not realize the mag
nitude of the Exposition, otherwise they
would have been better prepared. He can
say this, however, as regards the exhibit as
it stands now : A very good show can be
seen to-day, but by the Ist of January there
will be an enormous difference, and the Main
Building—occupied chiefly by the indivi
dual exhibits of private establishments and
b isiness firms —and the Government Build
ing will be pretty well under headway. As
before stated, however, the Machinery De
partment will not be fully ready before the
middle of January.
As to accommodations for visitors, Major
Bacon anticipates no difficulty. He found
that the great bulk of the visitors who had
arrived so far, had made arrangements for
quarters in private houses, and there was
an abundance of room in the hotels. Con
siderable difficulty is, as yet, experienced
in getting from the city to the grounds, as
so far only street car lines can be depended
on. By the first of January a steam line
will be established which will greatly facil
itate matters in this respect. Steamers
will leave the foot of Canal street every two
hours, and it will take from between 30 to
40 minutes to make the trip. Visitors
going by this means can not only be more
comfortable than in the cars, but can see the
whole of the city front, itself a fine show.
Without exception, as far as Major Bacon
could learn, every one who has visited the
Exposition grounds so far, has been satisfied,
though all who can control their own time
would be better pleased if they wait until
after the Ist of January. The exhibit dur
ing the Christmas holidays, however, will be
well worth seeing.
Maj >r Bacon proposei to intr duce a fea
ture in the Georgia exhibit which will be
very attractive. He intends to request every
paper in the State to be sent to the Exposi
tion,and will keep them all on file at his head
quarters. More than this, he will establish
there a regu ar postoffice for Georgia visit
ors, at which there will be boxes alphabet
iccally arranged, so that any letter for any
one from the State, addressed to the care of
the United States Commissioner for Georgia,
will be received, regularly as
sorted, and promptly delivered
The great convenience of this
arrangement cannot be estimated, as it not
only secures the safe delivery of letters, but
makes sure that they will be received by
the parties to whom they are addressed,
and who otherwise —owing to the necessary
uncertainty as to where they may be stop
piner—might miss their mail altgether.
“Os rourse,’ says Major Bacon, “in
such a ponderous machine as
this Exposition, there will at first
be friction in many prints. These will all
in time be properly lubricated and gotten in
easy working order Major Burke, Director
General, is doing everything possible to
make things comfortable. In very little
while everything will be arranged and going
smoothly, and every State and Territory in
the United States will be represented and
their exhibits properly displayed. It will,
in a word, be the grandest exposition ever
seen on this continent, if not in the world. ”
THE MARSHAL OF GEORGIA.
What Colonel E. C. Wade Says of His
Appointment.
A Times reporter called on Col. E. C.
Wade this morning, and found him in his
office in the Custom House, looking over
his mail. When questioned as to his nom
ination for the position of Marshal of the
Southern district of Georgia, made by the
President yesterday afternoon, he expressed
himself as much pleased at the nomination,
and said he thought that the Senate would
confirm it, as he had every reason to believe
that his standing was as good as that of
some others who had been confirmed. That
it has caused some little surprise in the
Capital he did not doubt, since it was un
derstood that the nomination for that office
would not be made until after the holidays.
But it had doubtless been hastened by Mar
shal Locke’s urging the President to ap
point his successor at once, so as to give him
a chance to lay down his official duties and
give his undivided attention to private
affairs. That the nomination was made so
soon was even a surprise to himself.
Col. Wade stated that he would send a
telegram to each of the State Senators, and
felt confident that they would give him
their suppur , as he had on former occasions
given them his. As to the Republican
Senators at W shington he felt no doubt as
to their support.
“Well, what do you think of your tenure
of office, Col. Wade?”
“As to that I cannot say. However, lam
inclined to believe with Senator Sherman,
who recently in an interview with a* report
er, said that he did not think that Gover
nor Cleveland wiuld be hampered by the
Senate. His Cabinet will be of material
such as he may select himself and there will
be little doubt that all vacancies occurring
will be tilled with people of his
cal stripe, but should he begin to rBB
to make a e'ean sweep of all office-rroroeH
who happen to be Republicans, he would
find that the Senate would assume an atti
tude at least not pleasant to him.’ In a
word I rather think that whether he be
Democrat or Republican, the office-holder
who does his duty and bears a good charac
ter may hope to hold his office until the ex
piration of his time.
“If I am confirmed I assure you I shall
enter upon the duties of the office with fear
and trembling, endeavoring to do my duty
as I should. The office is, as yon well know,
not at all a sinecure, there being much that
is disagreeable and even hazardous about it.
However, Uahall undertake to do my duty.”
“ How long has my application been in ? ”
“ Oh, some time ; about the latter part of
October or the first of November At the
time Marshal Locke wrote his resignation
I wrote my application, and, together with
a number of indorsements from the most
p ominent Republicans in the State I
placed it in the hands of Collector Walter
H. Johnson, who also had the eeignation of
Col. Locke in his hands to take to Washing
ton, the latter named gentleman
for private reasons not being
able to go. Unfortunately the illness and
subsequent death of a dear sister of Mr.
Johnson, detained him in Columbus by her
bedside until late in October or early in No
vember, when he went on to Washington
and filed Colonel Locke’s resignation which
was accepted, and my application which the
President assured him he would consider.
Having seen the President and Attorney
General, Colonel Johns >n returned home,
and this is the last I have heard of it until
to-day.”
“Well, Col. Wade, have you heard any
other talk around the Custom House in
regard to appointments affecting the inter
ests of this city?”
“Nothing, except as you knowj Colonel
James Atkins is in Washington now in the
interest of Colonel A. N. Wilson, who, I
think, will be the next Postmaster of Sa
vannah. I say this advisedly, for he has a
strong backing, and everything is being done
o forward his interest. This is about all
I can give you in this line to-day.”
While the reporter was interviewing Col.
Wade quite a number of friends dropped
into his office and offered their congratula
tions on his promised promotion.
A TOUR THROUGH EGYPT.
Pleasant Rambles Among the Tombs and
Temples of the Nile—Egyptian Art.
A large and cultivated audience which
tilled S’. John’s Parish Hali last evening
were delightfully entertained and interested
by the Rev. Charles H Strong, who inau -
gurated his series of illustrated lectures on
“The Romance and Art of Early Nations.”
His first lecture was on “The Art of Egypt,
or Among the Tombs and the Temples of
the Nile,” illustrated with one hundred
views by the oxy-hydrogen light,which was
admirably managed by Mr. George B.
Clarke. Promptly al the hour announced,Mr.
Strong opened his lecture with a statement
of the causes that had produced Egyptian
art, an art which found its inspiration in
nature, an art, however, which was devoid of
idealism, and was severely practical and real.
Pour thousand years ago there dwelt on the
banks of the Nile a mighty nation; wonder
ful in rude arts and the magnitude of their
achievements. No nation of antiquity,
though, has so completely passed away.
The Greek nation still survives, and Rome,
imperial Rome, which fell from its greatness,
lives in its church government and its
laws, which form the basis of our
jurisprudence. But Egypt fell
and her civilization passed completely away,
yet is restored through the discovery of her
wonderful pyramids, and the evidences
of the nation’s marvelous skill as builders
and in architecture. The speaker gave a
description of Egypt, and stated that her
first impulse of art was inspired by
the mighty stream which laved its
b nks. Egypt had always been a mon
archy, but the practical minds of the people
had prevented the monarchs from falling
into lethargy that follows inordinate in
dulgence in luxury. The religion of the
people, which was the worship of nature
gave form to her art. The lecturer de
scribed in eloquent language the
valley of the Nile, through which
the course of the sun could be
plainly discerned from the rising to the
declining, and sinking behind the hori
z in, over the desert beyond, symbolical
to them of the passage of the soul through
life. The different periods of Egyptian
art were four, the age of the Pyramids, the
age of the Obelisks and Rock Grottoes, the
age of the Temples and the Renaissance
age. The illustrations were opened with a
map in which the topography of the conn l
try was pointed out, and the lecturer then
proceeded to reveal to the interest
ed audience graphic pictures of
the pyramids of Ghizeh, Sakkara,
Dashom and Cairo, followed with
panorama of pyramids, all of which were
accompanied with descriptive narratives
Then followed the revelation of the Sphinx,
that massive statue which has been the
wonder of the world. The audience were
then led on a ramble through the to .-bs
at Memphis, the guide pointing out the va
rious features of interest, and giving in
structive information concerning their char
acter. The age of the Obelisks and Grot
toes was next entered, aod its discussion
was most entertaining. The views of the
Obelisks at Heliopolis, Alexandria and
Karnac were excellent, including the
Obelisk which was transported to Rome.
Next was shown the quarry from which the
material for these wonderful specimens of
ancient architecture were taken, and the
manner of handling them, the speaker dwell
ing upon the fact that the Egyptians had
no knowledge of machinery and were com
pelled to transport their massive blocks
hundreds ot miles. The obelisk which now
adorns English soil, that known as Cieopa
tra’s needle, and the one which graces Cen
tral Park, New York, were each shown, and
interesting data given in connection
therewith. The description of Thebes and
the grand temples, sculptures and paintings
at Luxor, Karnac and Medinah-Abou, the
Colossi of Thebes, and the vocal Memnon
were presented so vividly, that one could
amost imagine he was coursing through
the ruins, and the eloquent lecturer was the
guide at his side, imparting its instruct
ive and interesting history. The age of the
Renaissance was entertainingly described,
and the gradual improvement of Egyptian
art aud architecture was developed in the
Temples at Deullerah, Edfou and Esne, the
marvelous Zodiac ceiling and the statue of
Cleopatra, followed by a view of the island
and ruins of Philae, the Temple of Isis and
the sanctuary of Iris with an interest
ing legend of the resurrection of Isis, clos
ing with a view of Pharaoh’s bed and the
double colonnade constituted an agreeable
portion of the truly entertaining and inter
esting lecture. The speaker closed with a
tribute to the marvels of Egyptian art,
which though devoid of idealism, and purely
practical, was after four thousand years, the
wonder and admiration of the civilized
world.
