THE LAST DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
AN EXCITING GATHERING-THE RESULT.
Cincinnati Enquirer Bpedal.)
' Washington, D. C., July 27.—At the
caucus of Democratic members to
night about one hundred were in at
tendance. Lamar was absent when
the caucus convened, and it was called
to order by Clymer, of Pennsylvania.
Holman submitted a proposition
looking to the unconditional reiieal
of the specie resumption act, which
he supported in au extended speech.
Messrs. McMahon of Ohio, Jones
of Kentucky, Williams of Indiana,
Landers, Bland of Missouri,and John
Young Brown of Kentucky, spoke.
John Young Brown charged home
upon the Banking umi Currency Com
mittee that, in the face of the repeal
desired by the expression of a major
ity of the Democratic members of
Congress, and the will of the Demo
cratic party as expressed at St. Louis,
they had endeavored by inaction
and evasion to overcome the honest
convictions of the majority. The
proposition was opposed by a mani
festly prepared combination on the
part of the hard money men led by
Hill, of Georgia, Lamar, of Missis
sippi, Morrison, of Illinois, and Hew
itt, of New York. Mr. Hill said the
issue was not one for Congressional
action solely, but was an issue to be
had before the people, aud that the
present Congress had nothing to do
with it. Mr. Lunar, in the most
positive and excited language, de
sired the Democratic members to
remember that while he had always
been in favor of labor aud the labor
ing classes, now the capital of the
country demanded protection.
Mr. Hewitt contended that with
the Resumption Act unrepealed,
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey
and the South could be carried for
the Democrats, lie views express
those of Tilden's conlidants, that
the West is to be ignored in the po
litical contest to conciliate the East.
Mr. Wike, of Illinois, made a long
speech expiatory of his action with
the Banking aud Currency Commit
tee. He said while he was opposed to
repeal, the manifest expression of
the Democratic opinion was in favor
of it, aud he was willing, as a mem
ber of the Committee, to submit the
question to the House without favor
ing or indorsing it, but the proposi
tion of Mr. Holman before the cau
cus did not fully meet his views.
He then submitted the following
resolution, which was accepted by
Mr. Holman, with remarks that on
doing so he expected support in the
House of Mr. Wike. The following
is the resolution which the caucus
adopted:
"That so much of section three of
an act entitled an act to provide for
the resumption of specie payments
as fixes the day of resumption, and
which reads as follows: ‘And on and
after tire first day of January, A. D.,
1879, the Secretary of the Treasury
shall redeem in coin the United
States legal tender notes outstanding
on their presentation for redemption
at the office of the Assistant Treas
urer of the United States in this city
of New York, in sums of not less than
fifty dollars,’ be and the same is
hereby repealed.”
Considerable filibustering was in
dulged in by the hard money advo
cates before the resolution was adopt
ed. Mr. Marsh,of Pennsylvania.mov
ing to adjourn, which being lost, a
division was called for by a rising
vote, and was defeated by a two
thirds majority vote. It was again
renewed by Mr. Hewitt, of New York,
and again defeated. The expressed
feeling of Messrs. Lamar, Hewitt,
Morrison and their followers was not
to respect the voice of the caucus and
not to abide by its action. The reso
lution adopted is to he attached to
the Silver Bill and will be offered as
an amendment when that bill is again
before the House, which will probab
ly be Tuesday next.

THE VEKDICT P.ENDERF.I) l'-ELT STANCE
OF THE OFFICIALS TO GIVE IT
FOK PUBLICATION.
The jury of inquest met in Ham
burg yesterday morning, pursuant to
adjournment. At 12 o’clock the long
expected verdict was rendered, sealed
and placed in t he hands of Trial Jus
tice Rivers. That official soon after
wards went to his farm and remained
until a short time before the South
Caroliua train, bound out, passed.
He was then interviewed by a repre
sentative of the Chronicle and Senti
nel, and requested to furnish a copy
of the verdict for publication. To this
lie replied that he could not do so, as
he had been summoned to Aiken by a
telegraphic dispatch and would have
to hurry in order to catch the pas
senger train. The Chronicle represen
tative then asked to see the verdict
for a few moments, but this, too, was
refused. Rfvers then left for Aiken.
From members of the jury we learned
that seven parties—Messrs. John
Butler, R. J. Butler,Harrison Butler,
Thomas Butler. Henry Golsen, John
Lamar and John Sweaiingin are
charged with murder in the verdict,
while about ninety others, including
sixty from Georgia, are charged with
being accessories before the fact.
We did not learn what action would
be taken in regard to these. The
following is a full list of the jury of

VOL. 2.
CAPE MAY LETTER
From our regular correspondent.]
Stockton Hotel, July 28,1876.
I enjoy surf bathing ;,round dances
will not compare with it; the situa
tion and hold In a waltz Is not half so
interesting as where you have to res
cue a young lady from a watery wave
twice every minute, and then you
have the pleasure of rescuing the
woman of your choice, if you will but
take her into thewater. No sane man
will undertake to convert the world,
or tide it over with a boarding school;
the water will assist him to keep cool,
nevertheless, it will help to remem
ber what a great man Plato was. I
have been here now for a week, and
feel that my health has been much
benefltted. I have gone into the sea
once each day, remaining not longer
than twenty minutes, taking no other
exercise and going to bed at ten
o’clock. But some young ladies and
gentlemen who were here have al
ready returned to the city to recuper
ate. They have remained in the sea
uutil their lips were blue with cold
and have danced till 12 and 1 at
night, and made three toilets per
day. When we think of this we are
astounded at the triumph of human
energy, and understand how our
fair country women succeed in look
ing old if’not venerable at thirty.
The.view from the beach is fine,
and those who have not the strength
to breast the waves may stand on the
shore of the much roaring sea and
criticise the dress of the ladies as
they emerge from the bathing house
and trip bare foot over the hot sands
to the water, suggesting Barnum’a
fat woman, Maud Muller, or Haidee;
that is the way they look before their
flannels become clingingly wet, then
they suggest nature, or art, as the
case may be; Venus, or corsets, for
some ladies certainly wear the latter
in the water. The sea side is an ex-
cellent place for the study of human
nature in its physical aspects, and
also, by contrast, the kind illusions
of dress. The sea is profound and
mysterious; to the posibilities of
mero human vision, it is as infinite
as the sky, and less familiar; no won
der that it has excited yearnings and
ineffable emotions, and inspired
the grandest apostrophe that Byron
or any other poet ever wrote.
The ride from this place to Phila
delphia is but little more than two
hours, oi the West Jersey Road, and
it is quite common for the guests to
go to the city on the early train and
return in the afternoon.
A visit to the Centennial yesterday
showed nothing new; the weather
was not unpleasantly warm, but the
attendance was not larger than dur
ing the sweltering days of last week.
The Centennial Commission is do
ing every thing in its power to re
duce expenses; a large portion of the
Centennial guard has been dis
charged, and the pay of the gate
keepers has been reduced. It is evi
dently their intention to run it as
much like a factory, and as little
like a government department, as
possible. Avery large majority of
the visitors are from the country and
smaller towns, and it is evident that
very many people, who cannot very
well afford the expense, have hoard
ed enough money to spend a day or
two amid the wonders of the coun
try. But the increase of attendance,
expected with the cool weather, has,
as yet, failed of becoming percepti
ble. The reports of admissions taken
from the self-registering gates indi
cate a slight increase, but it falls far
behind what was predicted by the
over-confident press and authori
ties.
The facts are simply these: The
Centennial has almost exhausted the
sources of attendance from that class
of people who, under the present on
erous restrictions, can afford to visit
it. In the early days of the Exposi
tion everybody was anxious to see
the great show, and everybody went
as early as possible to satisfy his
curiosity, and, now that a large por
tion of those in convenient distance
has seen, there is a stagnation in the
attendance which will doubtless con
tinue until the 10th of November, un
less some radical changes in the pol
icy of the management should infuse
new life into the Fair.
We learn by reference to tbe statis
tics, that the attendance at the Exhi
bition during the first six weeks that
it was open, was larger than either
of the Expositions at Paris or Vienna
during a corresponding time. But,
the attendance at Paris was 10,000,000
and of Vienna 7,000,000 during the
whole time. Theattendanee at Phila
delphia will not it is sad but safe to
predict, exceed 4,000,000. At this date
its life has been nearly spent, and
only about 1,500,000 have beheld its
glories, and this number includes the
very large attendance on the 10th of
May and the 4th of July. The san
guine press and people expect a great
increase from the rural population
after the farmer has gathered his
harvest, but this is but another ex
pression of the monotonous castle
building that has been indulged in
here ever since the Centennial Ex
position was first mentioned. Some
farmers will doubtless come in the
fall and bring their families, but they
will not more than fill the places of
the teachers, students, clerks and
clergymen who are now enjoying a
brief holiday at the Exposition.
The cash receipts at the Exposi
tion gates amount at the present
date to a little more than $800,000; in
addition to this about $45,000 have
been received a3 a royalty on beer,

soda water, etc., sold within the
grounds. A considerable sum is col
lected from the manufacturers of va
rious articles in Machinery Hall, who
pay a per centage of fifteen per cent,
on all sales of articles manufactured
at the Exposition. There are a num
ber of telegraph offices upon the
grounds, and upon all telegraph
business the Centennial manage
ment realize 50 per cent, of the gross
receipts. The estimated payment of
the District Telegraph Company is
about S3OO per month, and that of
the Pacific and Atlantic Company is
very much larger. Many other re
sources of revenue contribute period
ically to the increase of the cash re
ceipts, and with the contemplated
reduction of expenses and the sale
after the tenth of November of all
structures upon the grounds with the
exception of Memorial and Horticul
tural Halls, there will perhaps be a
small dividend from which the stock
holders may realize, perhaps, twenty
per cent, of the millions invested.
C.
A Literal Application
Professor H.,oneof the oldest tu
tors of one of the oldest colleges in
the country, was as eccentric as he
was learned. His judgment any
where in the field of natural science
and philosophy was to be taken us
law. No one ever thought of ques
tioning it. The mathematical knot
was never wrought which he could
not sever. On a certain occasion
Professor H. wanted a servant. Sev
eral applicants presented themselves
—were tried, and discarded. Finally
one came whose looks the pedagogue
liked. .. .
“Now. look yo, my man,” the sa
vant said; “if you can remember and
carry out one course of proceedure, I
think wo may get on. I cannot af
ford to waste words, nor can I afford
to find thoughts for a stupid servant.
You must do your own thinking, and
understand my wants at a hint. For
instance: When I say—‘Bring mo a
razor,’ you will comprehend that I
am going to shave, so you will un
derstand that I will want hot water,
soap, towels, comb, brush and so on.
And so with everything. My initial
order vou will take as a cue, and of
your own thought supply all possi
ble accessories and contingents.”
The new servant proved himself
equal to the occasion, and his mas
ter was more than satisfied. One
day the professor came homo pale
and shaky. Said he to his servant;
“John, lam not feeling well. Go
and call the doctor.”
. The man bowed aud departed.
An hour passed—two hours—and
yet no doctor and no servant. Final
ly, however, the doctor arrived, and
in a moment more in came the ser
vant.
“How is this, John?” demanded
the professor, “Why have you been
so long?”
“You told me to call .the doctor,
sir.
“Aye, you could have done it in
ten minutes.”
“But, sir, you told me you were
not well. I took your simple order
as a cue to all that you might need.
I found the doctor absent, and left
word for him. Then I went to call
watchers in case you should require
attendance through the night. Then
I called upon your lawyer, in case
ybu should desire to make your will.
And then, sir, I had to hunt up the
undertaker, that he might have all
in readiness in case—”
“Stop, stop, John? That will do.
Bless me! you can be literal in your
applicalion ofa hint.”
“Yes, sir. Any further orders, sir?”
“Not now, Jo'hn. You may go.”
The professor is still living and
John still serves him.

tion.
Gen. A. R. Lawton of Savannah,
and Gen. J. W. Wofford of Bartow,
were chosen Electors for tho State at
large. Alternates, Judge Twiggs
and Gen. Gartreil.
W. O. Tuggle, Esq, of Troup, is the
Elector for the 4th Congressional Dis
trict.
Tho Convention adjourned after
adopting a platform.
A negro dropped dead from sun
stroke to-day.
A; Possible solution.
Dispatches from Washington say
that tho Houso Banking and Cur
rency coinmitteo have agreed upon a
resolution for the appointment of a
committee to set after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and to report to
the next'; session a plan for the set
tlement of the financial and curren
cy questions, on Monday, as usual,
■‘filibustering” was practised to pre
vent a vote on any bill for tho repeal
of the. resumption clause, and no
agreement in the committee on that,
subject is yet reported. It is possi
ble that the two parties on the ques
tion may harmonize on the proposi
tion to commit the whole subject to a
committee to sit after adjournment,
and then the letters of acceptance
will bo written and the Democratic
ranks “closed up.”
