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. FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.

Court met at 10 o’clock to day, and after reassigning the two cases} assigned for trial to-day it adjourned till to-morrow. 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.

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.
