S9“We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by Correspondents. 2 he Recorder is registered at the Fost Offiee in Savannah as Second Class Matter. Oar Position* It is a fact well known to the read¬ ers of the Banner that we have been, up to the appointment of Governor Brown as United States Senator, both personally and politically, the true and earnest friend and supporter of Governor Colquitt. While we trust our personal relations will last suffer no interruption, yet since this act oi his administration we have been com¬ pelled following, to split which with him politically, for the we consider, good and valid reasons: First., the political record of Gover¬ nor Brown during the black days of Georgia is such, that we cannot con¬ ceive fcow Governor Colquitt could have possibly appointed him General Gordon’s successor, without doing the greatest and grossest injustice to Georgia and the Democracy which honored him with tbe position he now holds. Secondly, there are a number of good, true, tried, capable and faithful Demo¬ crats and patriots in Georgia who have never been found wanting when our State or the Democratic party have needed their services, who have ever been true and faithful to Governor Colquitt as a friend and Governor, and some one of whom the whole people of Georgia expected him to appoint as General Gordon's successor. Thirdly, we can see no justification or even good sound reason why Gov¬ ernor Colquitt should have kept the resignation or the contemplated resig¬ nation of General Gordon so profound a secret, and thereby refusing to con¬ sult with the prominent party lead¬ ers of the Georgia Democracy as to who should be General Gordon’s suc cessolr. Fourthly, we fail to comprehend any satisfactory ot just reason why Gov¬ ernor Colquitt should have virtually forced the appointment of Gov. Brown upon him, and that too when he must have known that it would prove ob¬ noxious to a large majority of our people. The foregoing reasons we deemed sufficient to justify our oppo¬ sition to Governor Colquitt, after so long a personal and political friend¬ ship. We have no sympathy with the charge of "bargain and sale” between G|n, Gordon, Gov. Brown and Gover¬ nor Colquitt. This does not enter into our opposition assigned, to Governor being Colquitt, the reasons to our sufficient justification shall for his our tion. We oppose re-election because we consider that his re-election would be to endorse bis appointment of Gov. Brown, which we could not do without going back on all the political record we have ever made, and fur¬ thermore his re-election would iu no small degree contribute to the eleetioa of Gov. Brown as Senator by the neat Legislature, which God foibid %e should ever aid in tbe smallest imagi¬ nable degree. Gordon's As to General we have only to say, that ably he had a legal right to do so, that the time aud manner in which be did so, was certainly unjnst both himself aud the people of Georgia had honored him with so high a We can’t see how General Gordon hid consent to resign his position United States Senator just at a when this country is just upon eve of the most important political tie ever before fought in tbe history our government. ^ One which ' '* the very existence a nd perpetuity our tree, republican institutions. occurs to us that any one of his trioua their predecessors would have pied Senatorial thread seau with trousers and bare coats, the/would have reeled at such 7 • j* Tmir SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1880. juncture. Again, we do not think General Gordon did right in keeping the purpose of his resigning a secret from the people of Georgia, and then shocking the whole country with its suddenness. Tbe General ought cer¬ tainly making to have put the people on uotice, by his resignation to have taken effect at some future time. We have thus made known our views that our position in this matter may not be misuoderstood .—Athens Banner. Garfield’s Game of Poker. Mr. Garfield is. not a bad maD, and he is not a very good man. What he does would not injure him, as the world goes, but he thicks it would, and he conceals it. He would have the world look upon him as one whose life is pure from the little vices that mark other men. I imagine he smokes a cigar with a feeling that he aacri fieeavoteaby it. He hiB devotion -to thi$ hab¬ would not have his Western Reserve constituency know that he had ever tasted whisky, and yet he has, and a good deal of it. He loves the drinking, pleasfires of the table, good eating and as do most men of healthy bodies and minds; hut he hides his healthy appetities from the world as he would hide excesses, His appetities and desires . are coarse. What he is can be read in his heavy sensuous face * but worse than his natural tendencies is his deceptiveneBS. During the filibus¬ tering against the Force bill, when Randall, aided by Blaine, was leading the minority and Butler the majority, Garfield, Foster, Frye, and one other, whom 1 do not recall, where in the Speaker’s During room, down stairs, playiog poker. their bBenee they were voting they with the Demo¬ crats) were regularly voted by the tally clerk. .Finnally Butler discovered the trick and protested that the four had not been present during the roll call, although their names were recorded as voting. Blaine rushed down stairs to inform the poker players of Butler's discovery. One by one they entered the chamber through different doors and appealed Butler. to the record as answer to It was a little but Garfield will say, and tries say in all that side of his life that turned to poker the public gaze, that he Dot nor any other game cards; that betting is abhorrent to and that he is an enemy to cheat¬ and immorality of every sort. He wants the world to believe that he is a elevated and man; that his thoughts his language pure this,’ too, he plays the hypocrite He has a strong mind, of coarse ‘fibre It is vigoroue.'Jtmt lacks refinement. When he uubends he loves common and gross things. His wit is very coarse, and the stories he will tell ia the company of gentlemen at a dinner table are some of them revolting in their vulgarity. As a distinguished Senator said of him yesterday: “He paints his iniquities on a Sunday school banner.— Councr Journal. Weasel and Devil. A curious story, which will be new to many, is told at Tyringham, Mass. Several years ago there lived in Tyj ingham Hollow a prosperous family of Shakers. At one time several of their porkers could were for taken sick, and they account, the complaint io no way except on the supposition that ibe devil had entered into the twine. They tore down tbe pens to find him, and in the midst of the work a weasel ran out from the rubbish. It was perfectly avident that the devil had passed out into the weasel, so they gave chase. The creature ran to the top of the hill and follo.wei. the people, breathless and excited, At length-He was captured, killed and buried, After that time the ace where the weasel was killed was called ca by them “holy ground.” An scribed monument was erected, and it became a favorite place with Shakers for assembling for solemn dancea and ship. Tbe place monument is broken now and the is polluted by stranger teet. The inscription is forgotten aud cannot be deciphered, but the story remains and the place is kuowu in vicinity as Shakers holy ground. People who visit always carry away with them a piece of the devil’s stone as a memento, Haunted Me.

George William Curtis, of owns the finest house in Aahfield, Tuere is where OlQStof biS work Mod* " ’ American Law in Turkey. The man Mirzan, who, after billing a citizen of Alexandria, Egypt, in the streets of that city, claimed, under the treaty between tbe United States and Turkey, to be tried by tbe American minister at Constantinople, on the ground that he was a naturalized citi¬ zen of the United States, has had his wish. The homicide occurred more than a year ago, and ; Minister Maynard on Monday last, found Mima guilty of murder, and sentenced him to be hanged at Alexandria on the 1st of next October. No sooner was sentence pronounced than Mirzan’s council gave notice of an appeal to the United States Circuit Court for the District of California; At first blush it would seem to be strange that an appeal could be taken from an Egyptian city, under the suzerainty of Turkey to the circuit court of au American city on the Paci¬ fic slope. Nevertheless such an appeal is provided for in the Revised Statutes, section 409» of which provides that an appeal from any final judgment of the Minister to China or Japan may be taken to the Circuit Court for the Dis¬ trict of California, and, by the next the section, a similar ri^ht of appeal citizens to of same tribunal is extended to the United States convicted of crimes and offenses in Turkey; but in neither case will an appeal operate as a stay of proceedings unless the Minister cer¬ tifies there is probable cause to grant the same; so tbe fate of Mirzan is yet undecided. The legal question would seem to arise, however, whether Mirzan is not entitled, being a citizen of tbe United States accused of a capital crime, to a trial by jury, and, under all the circumstances, it seems judgment probable that Minister Maynard’s will be revised by the State Depart¬ ment and the President.— Balt . Bun. Justice Field on the Chinese Question. A late letter from Justice Field, giving his views upon the Chinese question, It has been published in Cali¬ fornia. has been urged as one of the reasons why Justice Field should not be nominated for President by the Democrats that he could not carry the Pacific States because uf many of his judicial decisions, and particularly that one of declaring the San Francis¬ co ordinances in regard to the Chinese unconstitutional. One of these ordi¬ nances provided for cutting off the queues of Chinamen who were ar¬ rested for petty offeuses, and another prohibited them from sending their dead back to China for burial. The object of these municipal Chinese laws was to so harass and annoy the as to drive them from the city, and when Juatice Field rendered his decision there was a bowl against him all along the Pacific coast. Iu the letter recently published he declares that he has "always regarded the immigration of tbe Chinese in large numbers into our State as a serious evil, and likely to cause great injury to the morals of our people, as well as to their industrial interests,” but farther on the Justice says : A modification of the treaty is, in my opinion, the only way to deal with the problem of their exclusion. They cannot be forced out of the country by raids of mobs maltreating their persons and burning their houses. Tbe pub¬ lic opinion of the country will not tolerate any such violence.” More Law About Cats. On a charge of having cruelly mal treated a poor cat, Mrs. Eliza Doebele, of No. 320 Sixth street, was brought to the New York Essex Market Police Court. Mrs. Christina Gross, who lives at 318, swore that the defendant "did wilfully, unlawfully and wickedly tor j ture and torment and need.’esly mutilate and kill a certain wild creature, to-wit, | a cat, by then and there striking said and j cat divers blows upon its body with a stick of wood called a : broom handle, thereby breaking the ; back and divers bones in the body of said cat and depriving said cat of life; I au d did cause thereby to said live creature, to-wit, said cat, unjustifiable ! physical Violation‘of pain, suffering and death, in the statute." - Mrs. Doebele .dmitted tbe elaogh j ter and pleaded that the cat spoiled flower garden. “Cats," said Justice Wandell, “are God s creatures aud must be Jd. but I used I have to _ be __________ bothered dog who wiA.bem, ___________ bills now a ^ buries them. Everybody can't have so good a cat-dog, but I think Mrs. Doebele was needlessly cruel. hundred dollars for trial.” According to a French writer the profession of arms is held in very low esteem in China, and as a the officers are ignorant of the military , art and the soldiers uninstructed, though brave. A Chinese sayi: g runs: "You would not take good iron to make into nails, and you wou ld not 4ta.ke & man worth aaything at all to 'make iafoa wldier.” ' Some lucky Escapes of Duelists. Many duelists have owed their lives to the brass buttons so much worn by our that Capt. grandfathers, and it was to this Cuthbert ot the guards owed his lucky escape when he fought his duel with Lord Lonsdale in 1792. The Captain Mount it seems, was on duty near to street, in London, in order to that prevent any increasing disturbance in quarter; and one of his orders was to allow no carriage to pass that way. Lord Lonsdale, who came in his carriage quentty to Mount street, was conse. be stopped and finding he would not allowed to pass, his temper was somewhat ruffled. Addressing himself, said therefore to Capt. Cuthbert, he to that officer : "You rascal, do you know that I am a peer of the realm?” The Captain promptly re¬ plied : “I don’t know whether you are a peer of the realm or not; but I know you are a scoundrel to apply such a term to an officer on duty, and I will make you answer for it.’ A meeting of course took place as soon as the Capt*in got oil duty and the preliminaries could be arranged, but alter the discharge a brace of pistols on each side, it terminated without injury to either party. Lord Lonsdale’s last shot, however, would probably have been fatal if the ball had not luckily struck a button of Capt. Cuthbert’s coat, which repelled it. The seconds then interfered, and matters were amicably adjusted. An even more wonderiul affair hap¬ pened in 1787, when a French officer, having said in an unguarded moment that “the English army had more phlegm than spirit,” he was soon after¬ ward challenged by an English officer, Capt. S-, of the 11th Regiment of foot, for having made use of these words. As the Chevalier La R refused either to apologize for or to withdraw the expression, a duel took place, and the offience was considered by the Bri« ton to be of so deadly a kind, or rather one which nothing but the death of tbe utterer could extenuate, that hein sisted upon fighting at five paces. If the two arms and the two pistols are taken into account this short distance was of course., muph reduced, so tfcftt .ppAroniiy u*d a oiittuve escaping. Seemingly they had tossed, or done something else, ior "first fire,” which the Englishman won, and Capt. S-s ball "took place,” as might have been expected, on the chevalier’s breast, but by a marvel of luck it was stopped by a metal button. The che¬ valier, touched magnanimously by so,providential escape, fired in the air, and did not stop at that, but made a full apo’ogy by stating that the English have We both read spirit elsewhere and phlegm. of another duel lest pi cking up on his way to the place of meeting a horse shoe, which, for "luck," he placed inside of his coat, over his heart, and the bullet hap¬ pening to strike there the horseshoe saved hia life. Gen. Bonnet, in his duel with Gen. Ornani, in Paris, in 1814, owed hia life to having a hun¬ dred-franc piece in his waistcoat Apropos Edwards of the nomination of field, Pierrepont tells Brooklynites that there is “no man on the earth who has not some spot on bis character.'' It would be well for r Garfield, and well for the Republican £j party, if he had only one spot on a character. As a matter of fact, setting leaser spots aside, he has several big spots, black spots, spots that will not out—among them the Credit Mobilier spot and the DeGolyer paving contract spot, "I observe,’’ said Edwards Pierre¬ pont diately to the Brooklynites, his "that imme¬ upon nomination, he is a man who, my friends here you, ia a Christian gentleman, it was discovered and widely circulated he is a perjurer, a thief, and a traitor to all that is right.’’ Edwards Pierre pont is in error. The discovery in question was made years ago, as he well knows.— New York &m. The Rev. N. M. Mann, of Rochester, is not a D. D., and is rather glad otherwise that he is not.

No medieine introduced to the pub¬ lic has ever met with the success ac¬ corded to Hop Bitters. It stands to¬ day the best known curative article iD the world. Its marvellous renown is not due to the advertising it has re¬ ceived. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all that is claimed for it. It is the most power¬ ful, speedy and effective agent known for the building up of debilitated sys¬ tems. The following witnesses are of¬ fered to prove this: My mother says that Hop B'tters is the only thing that will keep her from her old and severe attacks of paraly¬ sis and headache.— Ed. Oswego /Sun . A husband’s testimony. My wife was troubled for years with blotches, moth patches and pimples od her face, which nearly annoyed the life out of her. She spent many dol¬ lars on the thousand infallible (?) cures, with nothing but injurious effects. A lady friend of Syracuse, N. Y., who had had similar experience had been cured with Hop Bitters, induced her to try it. One bottle has made her face as smooth, fair and soft as a child's and gives her such health that it seems al¬ most a mirade. A Member of Canadian Parliament. A RICH LADY’S EXPERIENCE.
