On motion of Mr. Payson, of II- Sin.is, the House concurred in the Senate amendments to the hill to prevent the un~ : lawful occupation of public lands. Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, moved to go into Committee of the Whole, on the River and Harbor bill, and pending that to limit the debate to one and a-half hours. Mr. Reed, of Maine, made a point of or der that the debate could only be limited to paragraphs, but after discussion the chair overruled the point of order, on the ground that this was neither a general appropriation nor a revenue bill. Mr. Reed appealed from the decision of the Chair, and the hour allowed him for the discussion of the appeal was divided between Messrs. Hiscock, of New York; Long, of Massachusetts; Cannon, of Illinois; Young, of Tennessee; Bayne, of Pennsylvania, and otheis In the Senate, after the transaction of routine business, Mr. Dawes reported the Indian Appropriation bill. Mr. Ingalls rose and laid he had heard it intimated that the Republicans were endeavoring to prevent progress on the appropriation bills, so as to necessitate an extra session. Hr, therefore, asked Mr. Allison, Chairmain ot the Senate Appropriation Committee, to state the condition of all the appropriation bills before the committee thus tar received, and the status of the appropriation bills generally. Mr. Allison replied that the Military Academy and army bills had been passed. The District of Columbia, consular and pension bills were in confer • ence. The Indian bill had just been reported to the Senate and the Agricultural bill would be reported to ihe Senate on Monday nex'. The Post Office, Legislative, Naval, Fortifi cation, sundry Civil and Deficiency bills bad not vet come from the House. So far as the Senate Committee is concerned the work of the Committee was well in hand and there need be no apprehension of delay on account of the work of the Senate Committee. Mr. Beck said that in his expe rience of eight years as a member of the Committee he could not recall a time when the work of the two Houses was better up than it seemed to be now in the two Appropriation Committees.

A young lady, the daughter of a gentle men near Hawkesworth, England, was courted by a gentleman who, though agree able to her, was disliked by her father. Os course, he would not consent to their union, so she determined to elope. The night was fixed; the hero came. He placed the lad der to the window, and in a few minutes she was in his arms. They mounted a horse and were soon at some distance from the house. After awhile the lady broke silence by saying: “Well, you see wbat a proof 1 ' have given you of my affection. I hope you I will make me a good husband.” He was a surly fellow, and gruffly answered: Per haps I may, and perhaps I may not.” She made no reply, but after a silence of some minutes she suddenly exclaimed: “Oh, , what shall we do? I have left my money be ' hind me in my room.” “Then,” said he, ' “we must go back and fetch it.” They were soon back at the house, the ladder ! was again placed and the lady remounted, while the ill-natured lover waited below, j But she delayed to come, so he gently call- I ed: “Are you coming?” when she forked out of the window and sa’d: I‘Perhaps 1 may, and perhaps I may not;” then shut the window and left him to return upon the horse alone.

You have all come in contact with some that are never satisfied. They grumble from morning until night—we heard a man even grumble in bed. That man would grumble at any thing ar.d every thing, without reason; but this week we heard a gentleman grumble with good reason. He bought a suit of clothes and paid a iocd old fashioned price for it, and, hap pening to come into the “Famous,” he was shown a snit of the same class of goods, and our price was $8 less than he had paid.

THEGREATEXI’OSITION HOW IT IMPRESSES A GEORGIA VISITOR. What Georgia is Contributing Towards the Fair—A Creditable Exhibit Due to Indi vidual Exeitious—The Exhibits of Other States—An Interesting Communication. New Orleans, February 9,1885. Editor Savannah Daily Times—The first visit to the great Cotton Centennial Exposition by your correspondent was made to-day, and although my information is as yet limited, I have determined to give you the result of my first visit and keep you ad vised in future as new discoveries are made Os course the chief interest to Georgians, outside of their general interest in the ex hibition, is to see what our State, or rather I should say a few individuals in the State, have done towards attracting the attention of the thousands who daily visit this great fair to her resources. Notwithstanding the humiliating fact that the great State of Georgia has not contributed a dollar towards exhibiting her boundless resources to the world, a few of her enterprising citizens have caused, by their united efforts, a dis play to be made, of which no Georgian need be ashamed. Os course much of this credit is due to Savannah, but still other portions of the State have made their contributions. Savannah, through her sterling institution, the Cotton Exchange, exhibits a handsome walnut stand containing sixteen cases of ; type samples of upland and sea island cotton, cotton seed and seed cotton; also the mode’s of the two steamships, the “Savannah” of 1 1819 —the first steamer that ever crossed the Atlantic—and the “City of Savannah” of j the present day. The pamphlets descrip i tive of the above exhibit and also containing other interesting infoi mation are much sought alter by parties interested in ■ Georgia affairs. The Board of Trade’s con tribution forms no small feature of Georgia's display, and the case of rice samples, rosin j and turpentine, sections of trees showing i the mode of turpentine farming, McMillan’s : copper still and appliances for distilling, aie conspicuous and attract much attention. Augusta, through the Augusta factory; I Algernon mills, Sibley mills and J. P. King factory, makes an admirable display I of her manufactured goods, embracing shirt ing, sheeting, drills, checks, etc., whi'e the Georgia Chemical works exhibits a large case containing samples of all its articles of manufacture connected with chemi, al fer- ■ tilizers. The Eagle and PLcen’x Manufacturing j Company brings Columbus to the front by its display of a double case of all articles manufactured by that solid company drills, sheeting, shirting, domestics, checks, towels, blankets and a number of other arti cles. The remainder of the Georgia space is filled with tables and cases containing a . choice collection of minerals, the private property of Mr. N. P. Pratt, the gentleman who has charge of the Georgia exhibit. A sample of graphite or black lead, from Graves’ mountain, Lincoln county, is pro nounced by experts as equal to the best Ceylon grayhite, which is acknowledged as superior to any yet discovered. The as bestos, from Rabun county, is also much ad mired by those familiar with this class of . mineral, and is said to be of supe | rior qmlity. An extra fine qual- j I ity of mica is also displayed ■ a pyramid of emery wheels manufactured by a company in Springfield, Mass., is made from the corundum mined in the hills of I Georgia, which is hauled thirty-eight miles by wagon and thence transported many miles by rail. This Springfield company, who also have a factory in Chicago, will use no other corundum except that procured from Georgia, in the manufacture of their wheels. Mr. Pratt has also in his collection fine specimens of free gold, iron, and copper ore, and a hundred others of greater or less importance. All of the specimens have been attractively arranged and are labeled with names and analysis, the latter a feature not | generally found in the exhibits of other I States. Why our people should ever send off! for any of these articles when they are at our very doors, is a mystery which I hope will some day be solved, to our great ad- j vantage. Having finished with Georgia, what can I , say of lhe other States? I have seen so much, and having so much before me the subject is bewildering. All the State exhibits are in order with perhaps the exception of New York and Pennsylvania, they alone being behind their more enterprising rivals. Nearly ■ every State has some ornamental feature of attraction erected within its space, made | with a view to display its resources. The , Western States, notably: Kansas, Dakota, Minnesso’a and Nebraska, vie with each other in displays of grain, which are mag nificent and arranged in a manner which necessitated the taxing of the ingenuity of artists in this line. I’yramids of giaiu forty to fifty feet high arranged in all con ceivable devices, and surrounded by thou sands of articles, special features connected with each State—to enumerate which, would tax the gentleman who compiles en cyclopedias. South Carolina has a pyramid, in shape like those of Egyptian antiquity, leade entirely of her phosphate rock. Maryland has a pavilion made of tobacco . maves. North Carolina a pavilion made of mica. Louisiana’s pavilion is erected of sugar cane. Georgia’s of nature’s woods. Cali fornia’s pavilion of soap from the manufac- ' tory of the Standard Soap Company, of San ■ Francisco. Colorado has a mineral cabin constructed entirely of gold and silver ore. ; Other features of attraction are to be found: j At first the Louisiana space, “King Cotton” . i and his wife, “Louisiana,” made entirely of ; cotton, even to the minutest details of ex- I ■ pression of the features of the face. At the j Dakota exhibit, “Wonderland” will attract i the passer by; it is a mound of dirt, cover ing considerable space, sodded with grass, trees growing, and stufted specimens of nearly all the principal animals of that j i State. i The Chicago, Milwaukie and St. Paul ■ I Railway make a beautiful display of the ]! products along the line of its railway, the 11 chief attraction being a pavilion and a train •’ of cars, with locomotive, constructed of every conceivabe kind of grain. Our Savannah, Florida and Western ' Railway displays a handsome bas relief I map of Florida, its system being lined in ; gilt. Other Georgia railways make fine displays I —the mineral exhibit of the Georgia Pa cific being prominent—in this exhibit will be found one lump of coal which is quite large enough to fill any grate in Savannah, its weight is 14 tors, measure 12 feet, by eight feet and four feel six inches thick. The cost of getting this scuttle full of coal to the grounds, was S4BO, and after its arrival it cost $250 to take it from the cars and place it in position. Mr. Pratt, mentioned in con nection with th® Georgia exhibit, has charge ! of the displays of the Georgia Pacific Rail, way. This piece of coal, the silver brick from Mexico, (I should have said silver mountain) weighing several tons and valued at $114,000 and a lump of copper ore weighing 7,300 pounds, from Arizona, I thought I would bring home and surprise the boys, but alas, I could not get them all into my vi st pocket at once, and had to aban don the project. Excuse this disconnected letter as I am 1 mixed, but will try and improve on same in my next. Affectionately, Grover. AN INSINUATING BEGGAR. A Female Who Uses Tears to Good Effect. < A day or two ago the New Ytrk World published a special from Albany, Georgia, , stating that a Miss Cole, of Texas, as she i registers her name, is just now enjoying no toriety in this State. Several days ago she arrived in Albany with blonde face and wav- , ing curls, and represented herself to be the , daughter of a Kentucky clergyman, but latterly of Marshall, Texas, now on her way ( to the bedside of a dying brother in Cedar Keys, Florida. She became an object of|< svmpathy. While in a group of new made 1 friends she suddenly discovered that she had I been robbed of her ; urse while on lhe train, ; 1 and began crying. The hearts of the > ei.ev- 1 , oletil beholders were moved, and her loss |1 ! was made good oy very generous subscrip- i 1 . tions. ; 1 : The City Marshal, however, did not be- ! ' I Sieve her story ai d arrested her as being lhe original of Miss Annie Blanchard, who had ! victimized Atlanta. She wept and pleaded, and gave names of persons in different towns ! in Keniuc .y, to itidoise her. Telegrams sent to these addresses failed to bring a re sponse. While she was thus held a pris oner it was deve! ped that under the name given she had taken i. North Carolina ias a lady in distress fiom New York, and | lin Macon as a lady from Texas. She makes j from SIOO to S2OO in e ery ’own wsited. i I The Mayor gave so r until train time to j skip, and the 1. st seen i-t her was through a car window as si.e wo.ved an adieu to the Marshal. We were inform- 1 tl is morning that a young woman wn ■ o rrtsp'iip'... exactly with the above description is in lhe en- --na ! Legging tour. Yesterday she was in the store of a prominent druggist and put up a pitiful tale of distress, saying that she was in a very unhappy condition and needed as sistance badly to reach her home in Nor folk, Va. Ladies in distress hardly ever •aise money by that means, and it may be well for our citizens to be on their guard against her wiles. THE WASHINGTON RECEPTION. 1 A Successful and Pleasing Entertainment. \ One of the most pleasant as well as suc cessful amateur entertainments occurring here this season was the Wednesday night and Thursday matinee reception of General and Mrs. George Washington, at the Savan nth Theatre. The attendance was large, and the receipts will go to swell the coffers , of an institution every way worthy of the most perfect confidence of the people, name- j ly, the Episcopal Orphans’ Home Building I , fund.

THE FEDERAL CAPITAL A CHAPTER ON CHURCHES. Where President Cleveland Will Worship —How the Attendance of the Chi* I Executive Always Helps a Church — A Place of Worship Built in Anticipation < f Blaiu”s Elec tion— Reininiscenses of Guit eau. Special Correspondence Daily Times. Washington, Feb. 11.—It seems to be generally supposed here that Mr. Cleveland, when President, will attend the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The church edifice is about three squares from the White House, and it is natural that a Presbyterian President should go there, as Lincoln did in his time. Nothing, how ever, has been said to any of the officials of the church to indicate that the President elect has thought about the matter. Some overzealous persons, who did not appear to have any authority whatever to speak for Mr. Cleveland, busied themselves soon after the election and induced the church authori ties to take steps to provide a pew for the President-elect. There is not an unrented or vacant pew in the church. No one could be turned out to make room for Mr. Cleve land, so the pastor, Rev. Dr. Bartlett, offered to surrender his pew in case Mr Cleveland chose to come and listen to his sermons. There is always something of a flutter here among church people when a new President is about to be inaugurated. It is supposed to be a great prize tor a church to secure the President as a pew holder. The Metropolitan Methodist Church and Rev. Dr. John P. Newman were widely adver tised on account of the favor shown them by President Grant. Grant was a great curi osity. Most every stranger who came to the city wanted to see Grant. He exhibited himself publicly at the Metropolitan Church j every Sunday morning. Consequently the church was crowded. When he came out j to take his carriage there used t” be a double line of spectators stretching from the church door to the curb. After a wliiie an arrangement was made by which Grant left the church by a private door in the rear and escaped, the gaping crowd. For a time the Met o i politan Church seemed to prosper greatly. Officials who wanted to be as near the throne as possible, were easily converted to Methodism, and rented pews at the Metro ! politan. The result was that the church, i supposing its prosperity was enduring, made j great outlays anticipating future revenues. When Grant and Newman retired from the church, the congregation rapidly dwindled in size and it was left almost hopelessly in j debt. Hayes patrorized the Foundry Church, another Methodist Church, but did not prove to be much of an attraction. The Church however, suffered a little, by impru dently it creasing its expenses, on account . of the favor shown it by Mr. Hayes. Garfield was a member of the Christian i Church, occupying a little frame structure in Vermont avenue. After his election, the j members of the Christian sect all over the i country contributed liberally to build here a handsome Church which would be a credit to the denomination. Garfield’s pew in the ' little wooden Church was under one of the windows, and it was through this window the assassin, Guiteau, first intended to shoot ! him. Guiteau stole around the Church one ' Sunday morning, with his bull-dog pistol ready. He saw the President, sitting in the pew with his wife and family, and faltered. When Garfield died the new Church was completed, and called the Garfield Monu mental Church. President Arthur attends St, John’s Epis copal church, an old church separated from the White House by Lafayette square. St. John’s parish is one of the wealthiest and I most fashionable in the city, and had little i need of the favor of the President. Nearly all the Presidents before Lincoln’s time had i attended St. John’s church, and a pew known ' as the President’s pew, had always been re , served for the occupant of the White House. The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, like St. John’s, is a flourishing and wealthy institution. It includes many dis tinguished men among its members. Mr. Blaine worships there. One cannot get a pew there at any price. Before tne Presi dential election the general belief here, in fluenced by Republican office holders, was that Blaine would be elected. This belief gave a great impetus to a project of build ing anew Presbyterian Church in the north west section of the city. Blaine was a sub scriber to the enterprise, and it was ex pected that President Blaine would attend the new church. This edifice was to be one of the handsomest in the city and was to provide for the overflow of wealthy Presby terians who could not get into the New York Avenue Church. A large amount of money was subscribed, and though Mr. Blaine was not elected, his candidacv helped the enterprise. Mr. Charles H. Reed, formerly of Chicago, is here trying to get a bill through Congress to pay him $5,000 for his services in defend ing the “lawyer, politician and theologian,” the late Charles J. Guiteau. Mr. Reed represents that he spent six months upon the cise and never received a cent. Guiteau left no property, except his body, and that he willed to Rev. W. W. Hicks, politician, theologian and surveyor of public lands in Florida. Guiteau, living, had helped the Rev. Mr. Hicks to considerable notoriety, but the reverend gentleman had no special use for Guiteau, dead. So the remnants of the body, left after the autop sy, were turned over to the Army Medical Museum and the bones of the cranky assassin now hang, neatly articu lated, in one of the cases of the museum, which, by the way, is in the building where President Lincoln was shot. There is noth ing, therefore, upon which Mr. Reed can levy for his fee and he makes an appeal to Congress. Reed was not assigned to the case by the court. He went into it voluntarily after lhe trial had begun, evidently much pleased with the chance to advertise himself. There was a poor, old, gray-headed, plodding lawyer out in Chicago tamed Scoville, who had married Guiteau’s sister. IVhen Gui S6OO A YE AR teau’s tri il approached he came here to de- I fend him. The court here assigned a young lawyer of t* e District bar named Robinson to assist in the defense. Robinsun could not stay in the case. Guiteau began to abuse him frem the first and Scoville’s notions , about the case were rather cranky. What little Robinson did showed that he intended to endeavor to prove that Garfield’s death was due to malpractice. It is possible that | such a defense might have been more suo cessful than the plea us insanity. After Robinson left, Beed, who had been j sitting in the court room promoting Scoville, became openly connected with the case. In , I closing the case, he likened Guiteau to Char i lotte Corday. Before Guiteau was hanged. > : he made a strong effort in the Supreme j Court of the District to have the judgment ! reversed, on the ground that as the shooting , ' was done here but Garfield died elsewhere, I the crime was not completed here. He held ' ' that if there was a murder, the crime was i committed in New Jersey, where Garfield died. Scoville went back home after the • trial broken in health and fortune. His business was gone, and his wife, the sister of the assassin, deserted him. He sought to make something out of the trial by publish ing a history of the proceedings, but it was a failure. There is little romantic interest con nected with the name of Guiteau. He was shown to be a person of no moral or social standing, a miserable, hypocritical, cranky impostor. The assassin was inspired only by a feverish longing for notoriety. In the story of Booth—however much his act may be reprobated—there is a flavor of romance which makes him an interesting, if exe crated, figure in history, but Guiteau’s name has already ceased to be spoken. Bob. OUR NEW HAMPSHIRE VISITORS. The Formatiin ol the Club—Their Impres sions of the South. Yesterday at 4:45, standard time, there arrived a special train on the Charleston and Savannah Railway consisting of two Pullman sleepers, two combination dining and sleeping cars, one provision and one • baggage car, and containing a party of ladies j and gentlemen, 100 in number, members of the New Hampshire Club. They are en | route to New Orleans, and were accompa nied by the genial Capt. J. W. Craig, Mas ter of Road and Transportation t-f the j Charleston and Savannah Railway. Arriv ed here the party took carriages and drove out to Thunderbolt, and other places of in , terest, in the city. At Charleston, at which place they remained about fourteen hours, they took a sttamer and sailed to I-'crt Sumter, and other places of inteiest. j This club is composed of sentlemen of ■ means and influential business connections ! in the State, and the wealth represented by i them could be safely placed at $150,000,000. i The club has been established since 1880.. At a meeting of several prominent gentle men of New Hampshire, lieid at Boston, a suggestion was made that the business interests of that State would be benefitted by having an organization of some kind where by the business men would be brought trgether to discuss the various industries of the State, with a view of increasing the same and developing its unlimited resources for manufacturing and commercial enter prises, and a proposition was made by Hen. | G. B. Chandler, of Manchester, that an asso ciation be organized to be known as the 1 New Hampshire Club. The suggestion was accepted and the New Hampshire Club, composed of the best and most prominent business men of that State, is the outgrowth lof it. The club, whose membership num bers over 400, has been si’ gularly prosper ous from the beginning. The club left New York on Monday, Feb. 9th, and has passed through Boston, Hartford, New Haven, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Petersburg, Wil mington, N. C, Charleston and Savannah. Continuing they will stop in Jacksonville three days and take a trip on the river, ! going thence to Pensacola, Mobile and New i Orleans. Returning the same route will be i followed. Altogether they will pass through j fifteen States and the District of Columbia and over sixteen transportation companies lines, travelling 3,788 miles and making the I trip, including stopovers, in 13} day». Hon. J. C. Moore, of Manchester, N. IL, j stated to a Times reporter that although the I time of stoppage in all places touched has I been limited, he as well as the partv gener ally, have been more than agreeably im- I pressed with the South and her people, whom he says are hospitable to a fault.
