There wa a terrific hail storm, extending from New Hackensack to Fisfckill Plains, on the Hudson river, a few days ago. The storm lasted two ht urs, some of the stones were two Inches in diameter, laying a foot .Step in some places. All the grain and fruit ia a belt fix mde3 in length by one in width were entirely destroyed. A second meeting of prominent Bosto niar.s and other N**w Englanders interested ir the proposed World’s Fair a* Boston, in l".'i, has been held In that city. A resoiu tioii was adopted for the appointment of a i .amittee of twenty seven to consider the wh le subject, probable cost and Income, site, time, etc., to report at an adjourned meetirg, Jure 8. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says: “The fate of the government’s insurance hill would appear to be sealed, as far as the present Parliament is concerned, as Prince iiirmarck recently declared ihat the provt eion for a State subsidy, which the commit tee and the Reichstag rejected, was indis pensable. The tifeet of the introduction of h hill on the pending elections was proba b y the same as if the bill had passed.” A special dated San Antonio, says: “The track of the International and Great North ern Hallway now extends thirty-two miles northwest of this city and about one from Chiton, Medera county. Track laying is proceeding at the rata of a mile a day. The track of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio road, running parallel with the intertatio-a! and Great Northern for ten miles, reached Leon, nine milts west of this city, yesterday.” The failure is annoureed of the old Pio neer Mail Company, A. Arnot, of St. Louis, Missouri, President, with fceadqua:ters in Washington city, which i ae been engaged in the mail contract buslnefs for forty six vears past, and wfclcb has at different times heM large contracts in every State and Ter ritory. The fsiiure is attributed by Mr. Ar not to the recent curtailment of the con tract service and other changes. The Cons’anttnopie dispatch to the Tana says: “In Macedonia, as in Armeula, the Porte is taking energetic measures for the suppression of revolutionary agitations. Large numbers of Bulgarians in that pro vince suspected of connivance with brigands or of having relations with revolutionary committees, have betn imprisoned without trial, and thirty five of them have already died of typhus fever or other diseases. The Russian Embassy ha3 made representations io the Porte on the subject.” Ad interesting case has been decided in the Court of Chancery at Belleville, Ont. It was that of the wife of David Bobbin, of Sidney, to whom he was married seventeen years tg but with whom he had not lived. The parties were married by a justice of the peace in the United States, arid the defen dant alleged conspiracy on the part of the woman and ber friends, who had, he sta’es, got him drunk and bad the ceremony per formed when he was in that condition. The Vice Chancellor held that the marriage was valid, and gave a decree in the wife’s favor. C E Hill was arrested on his arrival at Hob. ken, N. J from Syracuse, N.

Lonoon, June 3 —A Vienna dispa’ch to the Times ssvs; ‘‘The news from Sophia re torts that the agitation against the plans of Prirce Alexander, of Bulgaria, grows In intensity. There seems every proba bility that an attempt to realize his plans will be strongly opposed. The agitators, who go about, the country, are advising moderation and abstinence from all but legal and constitutional means. The agita tion dots not, however, seem to have de terred the Prince from continuing his jour-, nev through the country. The struggle, no doubt, will be a hard one.” Au Extent*!ve Enterprlae.

Richmond, Va., June 3.—ln the Read juster Convention last night a motion to drop the lowest candidate was rejected. The second ballot was finished at 12:30 a. m. It resulted: Cameron, 257; Massey, 245; Wise, 105; Groaer, 101. After the second ballot H. H Riddlebtrger’s name was presented to the convention and re ceived with great app'ause. Rtddleberger came to the front and stated that while net a candidate before the convention he thought the office should seek the man. General Mahone was next named, amidst the wildest enthusiasm. Captain John 8. Wise, one of thenominees.then addressed the convention, earnestly appealing to the convection to sacrifice everything for the good of the party and not to consider men, and with this object in view he urged an adjournment, which, amid great confusion and excite ment, was agreed to, and the convention, at 1:10 a.m., adjourned until 10 a. m. to day. The convention met this morning at 10:15 o’clock, President .John Paul In the chair. Immediately after the convention was called to order Capt. Richard A. Wise, of Wil liamsburg, who last night nominated Gen. Mahone, said he had done so without that gentleman’s consent, and now desired to withdraw the nomination. The convention then proceeded with the third ballot, the result of which was announc'd at 12 o’clock asjoilows: Groner 104, Cameron 29, Masse}’ 257, Wise 88. Whole number of votes 742 Necessary to a choice 372 On this ballot a number of votes wtre cast for H. H. Riddclberger, which were subsequent ly changed at the instance of that gentle man, who briefly addressed the convention, thanking the delegates who had compli mented him, and at the same time saying that he thought it was well understood that he was not a candidate, and that bis name was not to be considered. He hoped, how ever, that now his friends would feel them selves relieved of any and all obligation to support him. A resolution was here introduced to drop the lowest candidate in each successive ballot, and that the candidates dropped should no* be re nominated uu;il one ballot has intervened. This gave lise to an excited debate, which, amid great confusion, waa put an end to by the main question being ordered, by which the resolution was adopted by an over whelming rnai-rlty. At this point several delegations favoring the nomination of Gen. Groner asked leave to withdraw for ten minutes for conference, which wss granted, and business was temporarily suspended. Upon the return of Mr. Grouer’s friends the balloting was resumed, the fourth ballot showing a steady gain for Mr. Massey. Be fore the vote was announced a number of charges were made, mainly favorable to Cameron. The county of Accomack then changed solidly from Wise to Cameron, giving the latter its twelve votes. This action was received with prolonged ap plau.-e. Change followed change in rapid succes sion from Wise to Cameron. Amid the great confusion which attended these numerous changes the friends of Massey and Groner asked leave to retire for consultation. No attention was paid to this request, but the confusion continued to increase. While it was at its height General Mahone appeared In the convention, and, as usual, was greeted with thundering applause. In an instant order was restored, and he proceeded to plead for harmony. lie begged that fair play be shown that delegations wishing to retire might be allowed to do so, and that the pro ceedings might be suspended duting their absence. No further objection being made, the Massey and Groner men left the building. Upon their return the Stcretary proceeded to call the roll over for changes. When about half the counties had been called it became evident from the numerous changes in favor of Cameron that his nomination was a fixed fact. Atlthis point Massey put in an appearauce, and was greeted with great applause. He said he would not deny the fact that he had until now Indulged in feelings akin tc those of his friends In the convention, and apologized for any liberty he might tske in addressing them. The cause of Re adjustment in Virginia, he said washlscaus', He Cad urged It in its infancy, fostereu it in Us youth, battled for It la Its manhood, and wculd not desert it in its old age. What he had done was for the cause of Virginia and her people, and now, rather than see his cause jeopardized by any dissensions among the representative men of the party, he was willing to sacrifice everything of a personal nature for the further advancement of the partv’s in teres: s. His friends had stood firmly by him, and he hoped they would now follow him. They might not have the leader they desired, but they should be willing to do everything for harmony, and he hoped they would as one man vote to make the nomina tion of Colonel Cameron unanimous. A tremendous outburst of applause greeted this movement, aud, the question being put, it was carried with but few dissenting votes. As soon as quiet could be restored Col. Lewis E. Harvie, of Amelia, nominated Hon. Jno. T. Lewis, ex United Sta’es Sena tor. for Llcu'enant Governor. Mr. R. H. Riddleberger made a powerful speech In opposition to the nomina'ion of Lewis, and presented the name of Hon. Wm. Milne?, of Page county, to the convention. Judge Shumate, of Fauquier county, was also placed lu nomination, after which the cill lng of the roll for the first ballot was com menced. Before the conclusion of the roll call, nearly all the votes having been cast for Lewis, a motion was made to make bis nomination unanimous, which was adopted. Capt. Frank S. Blair, of Wythe county, was next nominated for Attorney General, and, having no opposition, he was declared the party’s nominee by acclama tion. The committee appointed to wait ou Col. Cameron aud Inform him of his nomi na'ion, reported that that gentleman wculd acknowledge the compliment paid him at 9p. m., to which hour the conven tion adjourned. TIIE ROLL MADE OUT.

DEADLY DYNAMITE. Four Person* Horribly Mangled In Virginia. Lichmond, Va., June 3.—Gentlemen who arrbed here this morning on the Chesa peake and Ohio train report a terrible acci deit yesterday at Low Mor, Alleghany coujty, Virginia, by which four persons wen so frightfully injured thit they will all protably die. It appears that a negro boy employed at the iron works at the above named place, who was conveying a can of dymmltc to the powder house, stopped at a blicksmith shop, which he entered with the dynamite can in his hand. In a mo ment afterwards persons ia the vicinity were startled by a thundering ‘.detona tion and saw t'ne debris of the black smith shop flying In the air In all direttions. Upon hastening to the scene it was iound that the building was entirely de molished. The bodies of the boy, who had the fatal explosive, and three colored men, who were at work In the shop, were dlscov ered In the ruins In a dreadfully mutilated comktion, but none were ictually dead. They were taken to the hospital attached to the iron works for treatment, but It 1b not likely that aDy of them will recover. What caused the explosion cannot now be learned, as none who were in the shep at the time are In a condition to give any Information. FATAL FUSILADE. Deadly Encounter lu Mlstlsslppl. Memphis, June 3.—A shotting affray oc curred at Senatobia, Miss., Wednesday afternoon between Pres. McCiacken, Deputy Chancery Clerk of Tate couity, and a bar ber named Blount, which resulted in the killing of McCracken and thi mortal woun ding of Blount. The dlfficilty originated the day before, when Blotnt threatened McCracken. Wednesday Bbunt met Mc- Cracken and said “I lnterd to kill you.” and drew his pistol. McCrieken stepped inside a store and came out with a pistol, when Blount remarked, ‘‘Pies., give me a chance.” McCracken lowered his pistol, and as he did so Blount fired McCracken returned the fire, and each fired three shots. McCracken died at eight o’cbck in the eve ning. Blount is In jail and lot expected to live. He came to Senatobia three months ago. THE NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Opening Weak and Closing at a De cline.

London, June 3 —ln Mltclng Lane mar kets during the week business has been re stricted by the races. Auctions have been suspended until the Bth list,. There have been further transactions in low brown sugar to arrive, chiefly in Jaggohery, at a recent advance. Barbadoes and crystallized West India also maintained tbeir improvement, but the tone generally is not as strong. Boine contracts have already been made in beet sugar of tie 1881-82 crop for delivery under present rates. Tea was inactive. Indian was easitr. Coloury and fine coffee fetched higher rates. Easier kinds, including Brazil, were steady. Rice was quiet. There have betn further specu lative operations in black pepper to arrive. The quarterly sales of ctnnimon on Monday were unexpectedly good, and fetched from February prices to two pence advance. A rather large quantity was efld. Cotton in Liverpool. Liverpool, June 3. —This week’s circular of the Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Associa tion says: “In cotton there was a moderate business in the early part of the week, and prices were slightly easier. On Wednesday and Thursday a large business was done, and quotations for some descriptions were raised. American was in active demand. It has been firmly held, and prices advanced fully >fjd. Sea island was in mod erate request, with less pressure to sell. Prices are unchanged. Futures opened dull and declined 1 16d. On Wednesday the tone became strong and tbe decline was more than recovered, prices closing at an advance of 3 32d. for near and 1-163. for tbe more distant positions. The stroDg tone was maintained.” Brtltsti Breadstuff's. Liverpool, June 3. —The leading grain circular says; “The grain trade is extreme ly dull. Most spot markets are lower for foreign. English, on account of the scarci ty, maintains its prices. For cargoes in all positions there Is little inquiry, and sellers are giving way on spot and in the neighborhood. Since Tnesday the mar ket has been bare nearly of retail character, and rates are unchanged. At to day’s market there was scarcely an average attendance. Wheat was In limited demand. The rates were barely sustained. Flour was slow of sale, and at unchanged rates. Of corn there were liberal supplies, but it was in indifferent request, and prices declined a penny.” Manchester Market. London, June 3 —The Manchester Guar dian, in ia a commercial article this morning, says: “The amount of business is again moderate, although sales In some depart ments hays decreased, owing partly to the firmness of prices, and partly to the fact that buyers for the present baye satis fied their requirements. The rather stimu lating report of the Liverpool cotton mar ket induced producers to raise quotations a point, and especially for yarns, but the only eflegt has been to stop buslnees.”

TROUBLOUS TIMES IN IRELAND Mr. Billon's Letter to the Speaker— A Whitsuntide Recess Xhrnsts and Counter Throats In the Com mons—Mr. O'Kelley Suspended— The Evictions at New Pallas. London, June 3.—The Times, in its lead ing article this morning, condemns the gov ernment’s inactivity in Ireland, and says “We see little hope of an immediate im provement if events are allowed to take their course, if the Land League is per mitted to carry on its propaganda in the spirit revealed t>7 Mr. Eagan’s letters, and if any attempts to recover rent or enter upon lands held by defaulting tenants are to be resisted with open and outrageous violence.” The House of Lords has adjourned for the Whifeuutide holidays until the 13th. The House of Commons will also adjourn from the 4th to the 9th lost., and consid eration of the land bill in committee will be postponed on to-night until the 13th Inst. The British Electric Light Company has obtained permission to experiment with lighting the House of Commons during the recess. The Daily Telegraph says: “The govern ment ha3 received such serious news from Ireland during the last few days that a measure calculated to deal with the excep tional state of affairs there is, we believe, engaging the attention of the Ministry.”, The Chronicle says: “We understand that the government is considering the question of tbe suspension of the Irish jury laws, and will probably introduce a bill for that purpose in the course of the present ses sion of Parliament, without interfering with the land bill.” In the House of Commons to day, during the time of putting questions to the Minis ters, Mr. Tbo3. P. O’Connor was called to order for using the word “mendacious.” Mr. O’Kelly, Home Rule member for Roscommon, thereupon applied the epithet “calumnious” and “lying” to several members of the House, and his suspension for the remainder of the sitting was moved by Mr. Gladstone and carried by a vote of 188 to 14. Mr. O’Kelly then withdrew quietly. Mr. Parnell gave notice that he would call attention to the circumstances of the suspension of Mr. O’Kelly on Friday. Mr. Dillon’s letter to the Bpeaker of the House of Commons from Kilmatnham jail is officially published. Mr. Dillon in quires whether the question of privilege does not arise on his arrest, and says that Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland, read an inaccurate report of bis (Mr. Dil lon’s) speech. He declares it did uot afford any justification for his arrest. The Bpeak er In rep y says that as Mr. Dillon’s letter did uot relate to any matter of privilege he had not thought it necessary to lay it be fore the House. On motion of Mr. Gladstone, in the House of Commons to day, to take a recess until the 9th inst., the Conservative mem bers raised a heated discussion on the state of Ireland. Sir Wm. V. Harcourt, Home Secretary, replying to the attack by Sir Stafford North cote, denied tbe charge of concealment and lack of information, and accused Sir Staf ford Northcote of desiring to embarrass tbe government by causing alarm and adding to the difficulties of the grave circumstances already existing. Mr. Gladstone said vigorous steps were adopted by tbe Irish Executive yesterday for dealing with resistance to law, including that at the Castle near New Pallas. Sir Stafford Northcote said the statement was not reassuring. Mr. Forster’s absence must of itself, he said, cause anxiety. Mr. Gladstone’s motion to take a recess until the 9th inst. was agreed to. The statement, which Mr. T. P. O’Connor in the House of Commons to-dav termed “mendacious,” was one in a question by Mr. A. L. Tottenham Conservative mem ber from Leitrim, attributing the murders in Galway to the action of the Land League. The whole proceedings in the House 6howed the growing friction between the government and the Irish members. Mr. Gladstone In the course of his reply to the question defended the threat to evict tenants on the Kenmaro property on the ground that the worst immoral doctrines has been preached concerning rent. Mr. Parnell defended his advice to withhold unjust rents, and said that Mr. Forster, in not resisting the landlords, had violated the solemn pledge of the govern ment and thrown its whole weight on tbe side of the landlords. But the tenants, he declared, would continue to fight the ques tion of rents, and he believed they would win even against bayonets and police. Dublin, June 3. —The Irish Bishop, Croke, of Cashel, has returned to Thuries, county Tipperary, after delivering a series of speeches on tbe land question, which the opposition journals assert would have led to his arrest if be bad not been other than a Catholic Bishop. On his return to Thuries he was met two miles from the town by a band of music and three thousand people with flags and banners bearing patriotic Irish inscriptions. He was brought in the procession to the Archepis copal Palace. The people were with diffl cultv restrained from taking the horses out of his carriage and drawing it themselves. The Viceroy has issued a proclamation, and posted it in the viciDitv of New Pallas, declaring that any assembly of per sons for the purpose of obstructing the execution of a writ is an unlawful assem blage, and warning all persons at their peril to refrain from so assembling or they will be dispersed by force. The flying column of engineers, artillery, infantry and cavalry, which left Dublin yesterday for New Pallas to assist in the execution of decrees, started from Limerick Junction for the scene of the evictions this morning. The first bridge reached was found to bed stroyed, but the infantry crossed on the parapet of the bridge. The people assembled in great numbers, groaning and shouting. When the house of the first tenant to be evicted was reached their attitude became very threatening, whereupon two priests inter posed and entreated the people to abstain from violence. The priests, interference bad a marked effect. The Pheriff, guarded by the police, ejected the first tenant amid in describable groans and curses. Another telegram from New Pallas states that tbe Viceroy’s proclamation had the effect of preventing a disturbance. The force was so strong that resistance would have been useless. Other evictions were effe. ted in the course of the afternoon without oppo sition. Ecclesiastical Red Tape. London, June 3—Lord Seiborne, the Lord Chancellor, in a letter to Right Rev. Christopher Wardsworth, Bishop of Lin coln, expresses the opinion that the Revised Testament cannot be read in the churches of the English Church until it has been re commended or authorizad by some suffi cient public authority, and that any clergy man so using it incurs the risk of being held as an offender against law. Two Texan Desperadoes Killed. Dallas, JuDe 3 —Melton and Baker, the notorious burglars and horse thieves, were killed in Hayes county by a deputy sheriff while resisting arrest. The pair had been robbing stores and dwellings and running off stock for the last eighteen months. Mocks lu Augusta. Augusta, June 3.—Stocks are firm.

Tammany Against Fusion.— The Tammany Committee on Organization, Mr. John Kelly, Chairman, held a meet ing Saturday evening, at which resolu tions were unanimously adopted to the effect that the interests of the Demo cratic party and the welfare of the peo ple are to no extent concerned in the de feat or success of any particular faction of the Republican party in the contest now pending in the State Legislature, and that self respect and loyalty to the principles and traditions of Democracy forbid any alliance or co-operation with either stalwarts or half-breeds, as they respectively designate themselves and each other, and requesting the Demo cratic representatives in the Legislature to nominate and support for the vacant United States Senatorships men “who are the avowed and incorruptible ex ponents of the distinctive and essential principles of the Democratic party.” Recently at Pekin an English couple amused themselves by being married in complete Chinese attire. 'J'he bride wore a jacket of pale blue satin brocade and* underskirt of dark satm embroidered with blue flowers; hair ala Ghinoise. A pruae-cojored jacket an,d blue petticoat, with a pig tail and Chinese cap and shoes, was the festive attire of tbe bride groom. OUR ATLANTA LETTER. Weather-Rain—Conrta and Crimi nals— Bulldlue Boom—minor Top* Ics-Personal and Ceneral News Items—The Late Bishop Elliott- Personal Mention Flual Para graphs—Railroad Movements. Atlanta, June 2 —After a long dry spell we are having refreshing showers daily. Of course farmers and gardeners are happy, and the merchants rejoice to see the dust well laid. It increases the retail trade of dry goods stores. The dull season has set in, and despite the unusual amount of building now going on, many mechanics are out of employment. Bome of these men have large families and can ill afford to be id le. Cotton factories are about the only industries in the South that have no dull season and give steady work. Judge John D. Stewart, of Griffin, has been holding a double barrel court with Judge George Hillyer, which has disposed of a large amount of the accumulated business of Fulton county. Both are excellent workers aud allow no time to be wasted in useless discussions and dilatory motions. The docket is now pret ty well cleared of old cases and questionable motions. Business in the criminal courts is just now very lively, as Atlanta is infested with a grow ing crop of thieves and burglars. Every night somebody's house is broken into by colored thieves, who display a rare amount of bold ness. During the day they are also and people have to keep a constant watch over their premises. Unless there is an increase of the police force and more vigilance displayed in tnaking arrests, this evil will render life and property vdry uncertain in Atlanta, new buildings. Visitors to Atlanta will be glad to know that the old shanties on the corner of Peachtree and Marietta streets have been torn down, aud that Alderman Charley Beerman is to erect handsome two-story brick stores on that con spicuous corper. It is a long needed improve ment. 9 Moore Marsh's mammoth dry goods es tablishment is nearly completed, and since tbe roof has been put on it presents a very impos ing appearance. There is nothing like it in Georgia, and when occupied will be worth a visit as one of the great attractions of tbe South Its cost will be nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Since my last report of the building boom in Atlanta several hundred new stores, houses, warehouses and shops have been commence Small industries are rapidly increasing their business, and this requires more manufactur ing facilities. No city in the South shows so much building as can be seen in Atlanta, al though more money is being invested in Au gusta cotton factories and houses for opera tives. MINOR TOPICS. Ralph T Armstrong, of Notosulga, Alabama, has purchased an orange grove in Florida, and some of his neighbors are to follow suit Ala bama and Georgia will send large colonies to the “Land of Flowers” this fall for winter homes. Look out for a real boom. Bishop Matthew Simpson, the most eloquent divine in the Northern Methodist Church, will hold their conferences this year, the Georgia Conference at Gainesville on November 17, and the Savannah Conference at Brunswick on De cembers. He is now on his way to England’s great conference. lam glad to see Savannah increasing her facilities for the manufacture of candy and crackers, for there are millions in this trade when properly expanded. I would also sug gest a big. live furniture establishment. I notice that Payton H Snook, our great Atlanta furni ture man, is shinping large quantities of fine furniture to South Georgia and Florida, a trade that naturally belongs to Savannah Snook commenced a small business a few years ago, anil now his sales are immense. Savannah ought to have a Snook at once. The Richmond and Danville Railroad Com pany came as a thief in the night and gobbled up the Atlanta Rnd Alabama Railroad char ter and organized anew company before any body mistrusted what was going on. It threw the Georgia Western Railroad backers into a fever of excitement, but all to no purpose. The road will be built at once, and will give the Pennsylvania Central Railroad a direct through route to Birmingham, Ala., and thence to Texas and California. Colonel Cole will have his line from Bruns wick to Rome pushed ahead, as he has secured about miles of the Georgia Western from Atlanta. We are to have, therefore, three great Southern combinations. The Cole, the Wadley, the Taleott—to individualize them —or the Louisville and Nashville, the Rich mond and Danville, and the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia. They coverall our ter ritory and will absorb all of our small roads. THE LATE BISHOP ELLIOTT. The Rev. W. W. Spear, of Philadelphia, contributes the following interesting para graph to the Churchman, and I am sure it will be read with deep interest in Savannah, where the memory of Bishop Ellilott is still revered: "Several years before the date to which Bishop Stevens refers (1843) I wa* in charge of St. Michael's, Charleston, having succeeded Bishop Bowen, whose assistant I had been. Bishop Elliott was then professor in the South Carolina College at Colu-r bia, and though lie was very young in the ministry, having been a practising lawyer before enter ing on the study of divinity,l was very anxious to have him elected Bishop of the diocese,and was greatly disappointed at the failure of my efforts to bring about that result Soon after I visited Savannah to assist at the consecra tion of Christ Church, at which Bishops Chase and Ives were present, and Mr. Elliott, who preached twice in the services there held. the Diocese of Georgia was as yet without a Bishop having been under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of South Carolina. The question of the election of a diocesan was raised in our conferences, and I was asked my opinion as to the expediency of electing Mr. Elliott, as Mr. Neufville waived the claims which he might have urged as the rector of the most prominent church in Georgia. To this I only replied, with, X fear, a touch of bitterness, that South Caro lina deserved to Pse him. At the next meeting of their convention he was elected, and the church knows the result of his labors in a diocese then as wild in every respect as many of our most Western dioceses are now, in which his camping tours were full of the most amusing as well as trying incidents, which were reported to me in after years, not only by the Bishop himself, but by a beloved brother who succeeded Bishop Scott at Columbus, and accompanied the Bishop on his visitations before he himself became my near neighbor in Charleston, where, alas: he soon ended his useful labors on eaith. PERSONAL MENTION. General Gordon still lingers in New ork, and newspaper interviewers are getting tired of waiting for bis arrival. Captain G. J. Foreacre is just now looming up as a great railroad developer in connection with the new road to Birmingham, Ala., and another to Knoxville, Tenn. Horace Bradley’s sketches of the Cowrens Centennial have been published in the New York Graphic and Hai per's Weekly, and have been highly praised for tifeir accuracy. He made several efforts to get a picture of the Savannah drum.hut failed to find it. Judge Hiram Warner, who has been holding his own for the past few weeks, had a relapse yesterday and is now quite feeble. He may re vive, or his death may occur within twenty four hours. He has the wonderful vitality of the late Dr. Pierce and Mr. Stephens and n tenacious of life. John W. Fallansbee. who was arrested for bigamy, will be examined here to-day and re manded to jail. He is a bad man, and the f fiends of Miss Hunter threaten to lynch him if he is carried to Decatur for a preliminary trial. Hanging is too quick a punishment for the scoundrel, who should suffer slow torture. A. Smith Clayton, a well known journalist of this city, is just now stirring up the health au thorities of Atlanta with a sharp-pointed stick. While he has the truth on his side he was un wise in telegraphing it abroad to the injury of Atlanta. Still, it is safe to believe that it will finally result in great good, as the authorities will now be compelled to give prompt and thorough attention to cleaning up the filth which abounds in the city. FINAL PARAGRAPHS. I am glad to see the hotel movement agi tated in Savannah. Keep ir, up until the hotel is opened to the public this fall in first-class style. Col. Wadley seems to be “on top” at last accounts, and will probably remain so for the present. He has several “loose ends” lying around, which he can gather up as soon as a new sensation is needed. During the absence of her husband, a Florida lady made a swoop down Into her husband's barrel of fertilizer and used it in her flower garden. When he came home, she wag told that it was an expensive quality of cement. Messrs. A. Pope, G. J. Foreaore and W. J. Houston, of the Richmond and Danville Rail road, are maturing plans for a large and healthy influx of immigration to Georgia, which will aid greatly in building up the coun try on the line of that road. The sale of a free pass on the Macon and Brunswick Railroad by J. Troup Taylor, Esq the Journalizing Clerk of the Georgia Senate, will have a tendency to secure a reform in the present injudicious manner of issuing free passes to public officials who have no claims on the railroads and who can make no fair ex change for the courtesie extended them. The talk about anew morning daily here has not yet subsided, although no movement is visible to put the talk into tangible shape. The Post Appeal has discarded patent matter, and greatly improved all its departments. It has evidently settled down to gtay, which could not be said of any of its more pretentious suc cessors. Telegraph competition is at an end in this city, as Was anticipated would be the case when the American Union opened its rival of fice. A similar fate overtook the old Frank lin. and will probably overtake any future rival that may enter the field. It is to tie hoped, however, that the Western Union will continue its recent accommodations and make it unnecessary for the public to favor the crea tion of another rival company in the future. Chatham. A woman at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, who bad suffered from a husband’s neg lect, traced him to a barroom, where he waa playing cards with several compan ions. Setting a covered dish she had in her hands down upon the table, she said: “Presuming, husband, that you were too busy to come home to dinner, I have brought you yours,” and departed. With a forced laugh be invited his friends to dine with him, but on removing the coyer from the dish found only a slip of paper op which was written: “I hope you will enjoy your meal; it is the same your family have at home.” OUR FUTURE ASSURED. LESSONS OF THE GREAT ALLI ANCE. Colonel Wadley'* Southern System- Some Interest!ns Facts—The Rapid Development of Railroads In Geor ala and the State's Prosperity. Under the nom de plume of “Kent,” Mr. R. W. Knott, the accomplished corre spondent of the Louisville Courier Jowmal, who has been traveling with General E P. Alexander, looking after railroad news, furnishes that paper the following letter from Savannah, which will be read with great interest, as it contains much valuable information: Savannah, June I.— The railroad map of the South is, as Col. Cole has remarked, not yet completed. Great changes have in the past two or three years taken place, and these changes have all been for the better, serving the people more efficiently and more economically, and bringing also better re turns to the stockholders of the roads. In no section of the country has tbe ten dency towards consolidation been stronger than in the South, and vet nownere do the people have the benefit of greater or better regulated competition—regulated not by the Legislatures nor by Congress, but by self interest and the natural laws of commerce. In the Southeast there are, at this time, three great combinations seeking to secure the business of that section and doing what they can to develop its resources and add to its wealth. One is the Richmoud and Dan ville combination, which has a continuous line from Richmond to Atlanta, and which, it is said, intends to build the Atlanta and Alabama, not to the coal fields around Birmingham, but to Meridien, and thence, in the course of time, to New Orleans. Col. Cole’s plans have been fully described of late in the Courier-Journal, and it is not necessary here to make more than a passing reference to them. He has secured the ac tive co-operation of several wealthy capital ists in the East, and is now busy extending his connections and solidifying his system. Judged by any standard, the greatest of all these combinations, and the one in which Louisville is most Interested, is the LOUI9VILLR AND NASHVILLE. The triumphs of the management of this corporation have been continuous for two years. It is the dominating influence in the most populous and progressive States of the South. It has beeu of inestimable service to the South both by what it has accom plished and by what its success has induced others to undertake. Its lines of steel, owned or eoutiolled by lease or alliance, cover the country from Norfolk to New Orleans, from Louisville to Pensacola, from St. Louis to the sea. Americans are so used to large figures that they have ceased to have a meaning, and in this case it would give the reader only a faint conception of the extent and symmetry of this combina tion to say how many miles of road Is under Its management. Take the map and consider tbe situation. It penetrates the mineral regions of Ken tucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia; its main stem passes through Kentucky into the heart of Tennessee; Its lines go direct to Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, and will soon be in Knoxville, and on to Mont gomery, Mobile and New Orleans; running down Its line, you see cars loaded with the valued products of the great South, moving ia one direction or another; whisky, fine cattle, tanbark, lumber, Iron, coal, cotton, hemp, fruit of all kinds, tobacco aod oil. It is a wonderful transportation system, serving a country of marvelous natural re sources, and a full realization of its extent cannot be reached until you travel over It day after day. But while this corporation was moving its lines from the Ohio to the sea, another system was forming on the seacoa6t and sketching into the interior. The railroads of Georgia have of late reached great pros perity and power. The State is wonderful ly rich, and it has been fortunate in its citi zme, who have gradually worked out great conceptions in spite of numerous obstacles. The principal railroads in the State are the Georgia and the Central of Georgia. Of the first General E P. Alexander was Presi dent until he was induced to go to Louis ville, and Col. Pbtnizy succeeded him. Of the Central William M. Wadley has long been absolute dictator, and he has succeed ed in creating a very powerful organization. It seemed for a long time uncertain whether the L. and N. and the Georgia roads were to be antagonists or allies. When Wadley went down to Montgomery one fine morn ing and purchased the Montgomery and Eufaula, it seemed that there was to be a contest, and that Louisville was to be ex c’uded from Georgia, and Louisville rner chants looked on Mr. Wadley as a very dangerous man. But wiser counsels prevailed, and after Dr. Btandiford and Mr. Newcomb secured possession of the Nash ville and Chattanooga, it was plainly to the interest of each to reach a better under standing of their mutual relations. Mr. Newcomb came very quietly into Atlanta, held a short conference with Mr. Wadley, unfolded his plans to him, said he was of the opinion that mutual interests demanded co operation, instead of antagonism, and left him to choose. Mr. Wadley was too farsighted and too wise to reject an alliance of that kind, and a thoroughly good under standing has existed between the compa nies ever since. About the same time Gen. E P. Alexander, who had brought the Georgia Road out of all Its difficulties to a high state of prosperity, whs made Vice President of the Louisville aud Nashville, which strengthened, more than anything else could have done, the position of the Louisville and Nashville in Georgia. Yet these arrangements, while satisfactory for the time, were not of a character to In sure anything for the future. New roads were building and new combinations were formed, aud it has been considered essential for the Louisville and Nasbvl’le still furlher to strengthen itself in Georgia. It reaches Atlanta from Chattanooga via the Western and Atlantic, which is free to all, but be yond Atlanta it was dependent upon the good will of its allies, which might or might not be perpetual. The interests at stake were great, and the Louisville and Nash ville Is not disposed to take any risks or to trust to the future what should be provided for to day. The key to the situation is THE GEORGIA ROAD. The main line of this road extends from Atlanta to Augusta thence to Port Royal is a line in which it has a large Interest. From its main line it also has a branch to Macon. It owns a controlling interest in the stock of the West Point Road, which runs from Atlanta to West Point, from which place the Western Alabama,ln which it has a half interest, extends its lines on to Montgomery and from there to Selma. The Central Georgia (Wadley’s road) has also a large number of branches and con nections. The main line runs from Savan nah to Macon, thence to Atlanta. It has a branch running from Millen to Augusta, and Col. Wadley also controls the line from Al bany to Eufaula, and from there to Mont gomery, which is the famous Montgomery and Eufaula Road. These two roads have a fine local as well as through business, are built in a level country, are capitalized on a very small ba sis, and are operated at a very light expense. Each constitutes a very valuable piece of property, aud operated one against the other, could do irreparable injury. Either in the hands of a rival to the Louisville and Nashville could be used most effectively against the upbuilding of its business ia Georgia, and deprive it of many advantages which it expected from a number of its other acquisitions, and consequently It was very desirable so to arrange matters as to make it impossible that either the Central or the Georgia should fall into the hands of rival corporations. This has been accom plished. The simple fact has been announced that the Louisville and Nashville was a joint lessee with Col. Wadley In his lease of the Georgia Road, and this letter is written that your readers may understand the fall significance of that lease. If it is clearly understood, it will be seen that no more im portant acquisition has been made by the Louisville and Nashville at any time than when it secured a half interest In this lease, ft anv organization of hostile inter ests in Georgia impossible, and secures an open pathway for all time from the Qbio to the coast. The lines of the Georgia are also so situated as to have a strong influence all over the State, and especially does it strengthen the Louisville and Nashville to Atlanta. It certainly does not exclude all rivals, giviDg a monopoly; this, even if the road so desired, is not possible. At Atlanta the Louisville and Nashville is met by the Richmond and Danville combination, while Colonel Cole says bis line will soon be com pleted, so that be will have an unbroken connection from Chattanooga, via Rome, Atlanta and Macon, to Brunswick, which place has a good harbor, but is a port of little importance. To-day the details concerning the future of the leased lines are being arranged by General Alexander, of the Louisville and Nashville, and President Wadley, of the Central. Each road selects tbrpe djreotots, and they select the seventh member, who Is to be manager. The names of these direct ory will be telegraphed you as soon as known. The pew management wil) leave nothing undone to add to thy value and productiveness of the property. There Is a feeling all through the State that lta devel opment has just begun. Capital and immi grants are pouring into it as they have never before done in its history, and there can be little doubt that the next few years will see the income of all the well-establish ed roads greatly augmented. Let Louisville merchants turn their atten tion more and more in this direction. Geor gia is a great State, and she purchases many goods in St. Louis that ought to come from Louisville. It is anew field which should be used to better purpose than here tofore, and from this time on Louisville can be certain she has all the advantages in rates which any of her rivals can obtain. Kent. THE ANTI-MONOPOLY CRAZE. Tlie Commission and Railroads— How tbe Three Great Combina tions Affect tbe Three Arblters- Posatbllltles of the Savannah, Florida and Western Extension— The Legislature Likely to Come to Its Senses— What Should be Al lowed tbe Commission—The Late Big Dividend. Macon. Ga., June 2.— For several years past there ha? been a great hue and cry against the Georgia Central Railroad for alleged discrimi nations, to the detriment of certain localities and the aggrandizement of others. Hence the crusade inaugurated in opposition to what was termed the "great monopoly,” which cul minated In the last Legislature by the passage of the railroad bill and the appointment of three commissioners, whose power over the railway property of the Slate is almost unlim ited. That oppressive discriminations had been made iu some instances cannot be denied. These it was declared, however, were the re sult of the fierce competition which existed at terminal points (Eufaula, for instance) be tween the Central and its rivals. The mana gers of that road have always disclaimed the desire or intention to exhibit partiality for either persons or communities in their deal ings with the public. The grievances com plained of were the outcome of stern necessity only. To their credit therefore be it spoken, that after the purchase of the Montgomery and Eufau'a Railroad had been effected, all” of the discriminations that had operated injuriously to Americus, Cuthbert, and other points were speedily abated, if not wholly removed. And this, it should be borne in mind, was done anterior to any legislation on the subject. But the antipathy to monopo lies has laken fast hold upon the people and there is a powerful party in the present Legis lature opposed to Mr. W adley and the Central Railroad. The recent “combinations,” however, ought most effectually to estop all apprehensions as to any future railroad monopoly in Georgia. There are three in number— -Ist. The Wadk-y-Piuiazy-Alexander alliance, which unites under one management the Geor gia, ir’outh Carolina, Central and Louisville and Nashville Roads, with all their branohes and appendages. This coalition covers an immense territory and wields vast influence. 2d. We have the "Plant Syndicate,” which absorbs the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad, together w ith the Way cross branch, just completed and lain with steel rails. This cut-off to Jacksonville, receiving as it will all the ccean steamship travel from the East, and a very large portion of the multitudes from every section of the Uniou who are con stantly seeking health or profitable invest ments in the land of De Soto, is des tined to do a large and increasing business. When the projected exten sion to Mobile also is finished. New Orleans wi l realize in this route a powerful competitor for the carrying trade of the At lantic coast. It wili practically put an end to the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the capes of Florida. This extension will un doubtedly be made in the near future. 3d. The Cole combination next challenges attention. The master spirit of this enterprise which has sprung full-fledged into the arena is the irre pressible Colonel E. W. Cole, who was so shamefully slaughtered in the house of his friends but one year ago. For the time overshadowed, and, as it were, “plumped” out of the railroad ring, the Col onel remained a passive but watchful spectator of passing events. Quietly abiding his opportunity, however, he now appears once more upon the tapis at once a debutante and conqueror. Completely hedged in on all sides from his enemies by the abso lute financial control of the fourteen hundred miles of railroad included iu his “system,” this young and vigorous railway gladiator seems resolved to make his mark in the coming struggle for supremacy between the three great syndicates which are contending for the lion’s share of the Southern trade. That he will hold hi? own when the projected links in his “system” have been completed, is beyond question. Whtu the adjourned session of the Legisla ture meets in July, there will be a decided toning down of the opposition to Mr. Wadley and the Central Railroad growing out of the events which have transpired within a few brief months. With three distinct and inde pendent routes from the interior t j the sea, each self-sustaining, efficient and strong, there can be no monopoly hereafter in Georgia. Hence our legislative Solons should “dry up” on the subject and modify very materially the act creating the Railway Commission. A healthy competition or liberal pool ing arrangements will most assuredly accomplish all that the public can reasonably demand. With great propriety, therefore, the extraordinary and injudicious powtrs with which the “Commission” have been invested should be signally abated. Let their duties be confined to arbitrating and regulating differences between the various corporations and their dealings with individu als who may have cause for complaint. The power also to prevent local discrimina tions on any road ought still to be accorded to them. Beyond this the Railway Commission should not be allowed to go. Its danger ous prerogatives ought to be withdrawn forth with. The late big dividend has sent a thriil of joy through the heart of everv fortunate holder of Central and Southwestern Railroad stocks. The only disgruntled parties are they who, disgusted at the non-payment of dividends for several years, were induced to sell their shares at ruinously iow prices. It is said that some of these will bring suits for the sums which late disclosures show might have been divided out to them. What will be the out come of these suits of course the writer is not prepared to say, though not much importance seems to attach to them, This whole region has been blessed with co pious and most refreshing rains. The crop prospect is favorable. H. H. J. The Carlisle Indian School. A meeting was held in Philadelphia Tuesday evening of those interested in the education of Indian children. Capt. Pratt, who has charge of the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., made an interest ing report of the operations of this school, which is growing rapidly, and now numbers two hundred and eighty eight boys and girls, fifty of whom were very recently brought from Dakota Ter ritory. He said that a letter had been received from Spotted Tail, in which he stated that five hundred children from the tribe he controlled would be allowed to go to school. The Captain thought that at least one thousand children could be accom modated at Carlisle if additional build ings were put up, to do which would re quire $3,500, of which amount over $1,600 has already been subscribed. Hon. Daniel M. Fox and Colonel Wm. McMicbael also delivered addresses, con tending that if the Indian was educated and made self supporting he would cost the government considerably less than he does at present. Considerable interest was manifested at the meeting, and a committee was appointed to act in con junction with the authorities at Carlisle in promoting the cause of Indian edu cation.

Since Mayor Means, of Cincinnati, has enforced the Sunday law in that city aDd stopped the sale of liquor on Sunday, the Cincinnatians have been compelled, when in search of fun and liquor, to ex cursionize to neighboring towns. The consequence is a perfect invasion of the outlying villages. The little town of Ripley, in Brown county, is one of the sufferers. Last Sunday it was invaded by three thousand one hundred excur sionists from “the Paris of America,” who proceeded to have a high old time and get drunk at once. The people of Ripley do not like the situation at all. and propose to organize an army of marshals to check this invasion in future. The Nashville American bitterly re marks: “There ia nothing smart and nothing new in the remark made by some would-be wit that Bob Ingersoll has made a fortune out of hell. We are taught by ordinary observation that all fortunes are made out of hell, and by the case of Dives that the owner, some times at lpaat, repairs to eDjoy them in hell.” Protection has taken a “boom” in France, the duty on textile fabrics hav ing fieen increased hy the new tariff laws from 25 to 210 per pent. It ia this in crease which is so worrying the English cotton manufacurers at' Manchester and causing them to talk of establishing cot ton mills in France. The new duties virtually prohibit the importation of English goods into France. ESTABLISHED 1850. THE STAR ROUTE ROGUES. “lET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE.” Dorsey and Coterie Thoroughly Scared Up—The Meshes Closing About the Kutres-Jolly Auditor McGrow and His Champagne Luuches— Hla Supercilious Deputy —Prosecutors that “Mean Busi ness”—a Sleuth on the Trade—The Discomfiture of Conkllng and His Dummy Discounted. Washington, June 2.— The star route thieves are much excited. They are as men walking in dangerous places, with the lightning playing around them. Their uncomfortable frame of mind is superinduced by the knowledge that they know that they deserve to be struck and an uncertainty as to when they will get it. The city is full of their attorneys. The star route men themselves have gotten out of town. Dorsey was here to-day trying to see the Presi dent, but could not. He does not go around half so brash as he used to, but treads his way softly. The attorneys of those implicated in the stealings watch the grand jury with ever anxious eyes. The other day it got bruited abroad that the grand jury had found a number or indictments against the star route men. Immediately there was a rush of lawyers to the city ball to give bail for their clients. These were the lawyers of men on hand for bailing purposes whose names had never been mentioned in connection wltb the star frauds. It turned out that the grand jury had returned no indictments—in fact that the matter was not before them. The little incident, however, shows how the feeling of uncertainty among the thieves is spread. The indictments will be forthcoming in a short time The evidence. Attorney General McVeagh told me to-day, would not be placed before the grand jury until he was perfectly satisfied that it was complete, and that the government’s case would be fully sustained. There is some difficulty in securing the testi mony desired. The detailed evidence in indi vidual cases is difficult sometimes to get at. it will be reached, however, and then will come the grand outburst. The removal of McGrew, Sixth Auditor of the Treasury Department,and of his deputy, Lilley, has served to again stir up and agitate these frauds. McGrew over hauled all the accounts of mail contractors and passed upon them. His approval was necessa ry for Brady and the lot to carry on their highway robbery. They got that epprova). He passed the accounts and the money was shoveled out of the Treasury. The fines and forfeitures that were imposed upon ion tractors it was McGrew s duty to levy. He just let them slide. Of course, his deputy, Lilley, had to be with him to make these little transactions safe and close. They both got what the boys call their “whack” from the contractors. They have been at it just as long as the stealing has been going on. The two bounced men are of course indignant. McGrew got intoxicated last night over the stroke of lightning that had been dealt out to him, and went around town howl ing that it was a “put up job,” and he would sue everybody for criminal libel who said that he was anything but straight. He will have to commence his suits very early if he wants to see them finished before he dies. Lilley has been very unpopular with the employes of his office. He has been domineer ing and self-consequential. The fatter he got out of the frauds the more arrogant he became. Even outsiders visiting his office on business were treated with the greatest contempt. He was insulting at times to the women employed in his office. McGrew, on the other hand, is a jolly, jovial, good natured fellow. He is splendid company, and always had a pleasant word for everybody. Probably what first attracted suspicion to him in con nection with the frauds was his daily cham pagne lunches at a restaurant near his office. His luncheon companions were Brady and the star route contractors. The net around the whole mob is drawing closer every day,. The investigation is the most complete of any ever put on foot in Washing ton. It is conducted wisely and with a stern impartiality that makes all hopes of fixing the committee or of whitewashing the prominent thieves as hopeless as the pursuit of the golden fleece. The inexorab.e verdict of hunt down and punish has gone forth from the President and Postmaster General James, and is steadily being carried out. It looks as if the administration was to be a sad one for thievt 8. THK COUNSEL. The administration has engaged for the prosecution of the star route thieves Colonel W. A. Cook, of this city. This is a very wise stop. It is a tradition among those connected with criminal prosecutions in the District of Columbia that whichever side employs Colonel Cook is always successful. He is—aDd I say it without favor—the best criminal lawyer in the United States, not even excepting General Butler. The foresight in employing him is to be commended. If anybody is capable of an assured successful prosecution he is the man. He not only confines himself to the legal ques tions involved, but Is as good a detective as Pinkerton. THE CONKLINQ BUSINESS. The news from Albany which showed con clusively that Conkliug and “me-too” Platt cannot be returned to the Senate, rid not create even a decent stir here. Everybody had taken such to be tho Inevitable result of the so-called conflict at Albany, and, what is more, every body was thoroughly satisfied that Conkling and his little henchman should be left entirely out in the cold. A man cannot win friends by an assumption of superiority over everybody else and all other things. The men who were Conkling’s friends were only so because of the supposition that he wielded an immense pat ronage. When it became evident that he did not, that support fled from him. He was no more the Boss, the dictator. His experience furnishes the most complete parallel to that of Cardinal VV'olsey that history hag furnished, it also nerves, in connection with the failure of the Cameron influence in connection with the election of a successor to Senator Wallace, to show that the days of Bossism In politics Is over.

NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWB BUILPINO). JT. 0. ESTILL, Proprietor. R T. THOMPSON, Editor. SATURDAY, JUNE 4. 1881. Reports from the Northwest indicate an increase of grain destroying insects, and in spite of the entomological com mission and the proclamations issued against the scourge of the agriculturist, fears arc entertained of a locust invasion. The Rev. Dr. Henry Ward Beecher's first audience in Nashville, Tenn., last week was so slim that he refused to lec turn in that city on the following night as per agreement. We note the fact as creditable to the good people ef Nash ville. The Cincinnati Gazette thiDks that the story about the White House being un healthy is disproved by the fact that there have been only two deaths in the building, one of which was from old age. Few buildings, it thinks, can make as good a sanitary showing as this. Mr. Vennor “predicts” a wet June, with frequent severe wind and thunder storms, and probable frosts between the sth and 10th of the month. He says: “The ‘north waters’ are only coming down now, which is an indication of a wet June. The warmest part of June is likely to occur between the 20th and 25th, when the heat may be excessive.” In San Francisco, with the houses nearly all of wood, and with a popula tion of 233,000, the total assessed valua tion of all property, real and personal, is $253,000,000; in Hamilton county, Ohio, which includes Cincinnati, and has a much larger population than San Francisco, it is $207,000,000; and in St. Louis, with a population of 350,000, it is only $105,000,000. Mayor King, of Philadelphia, has issued an order forbidding the manufac ture, sale or exposure for sale of squibs, rockets, cartridges, toy pistols, etc., and announcing that the firing of pistols, etc., on July 4th next will not be allowed. About two-thirds of the popu lation call him blessed, while another third, mostly small boys, regard him as an incorrigible curmudgeon. Another Cabinet controversy is re ported between Blaine and MacYeagh, due to the bitter opposition of the latter to the confirmation of Bill Chandler, who was a henchman of Blaine’s at Chicago, as Solicitor General. It is said that MacYeagh does not disguise the fact that the differences between him and the Secretary of State are serious Blaine, however, professes not to feel at all hurt at the defeat of hia man. A number of Boston capitalists have made a proposition to the Louisville Board of Trade looking to the erection of a large cotton mill in that city. The Boston men offer to invest $250,000, od condition that the citizens of Louisville will subscribe a like amount. A meeting of the Louisville Board of Trade has been held, but consideration of the pro posal has been postponed. The matter has been informally discussed and meets with favor. It is estimated that there are more sub stantial buildings now being erected in New York than at any previous time in its history. It is mainly in the lower and central portions of the city that costly and elegant buildings are being pushed to completion. The new business houses are very high, being eight and nino stories high and ornamented with an elaboration before unknown in the city. We see it computed that $25,000,- 000 will be the value of the costly build ings now going up. It is now said that the Tunis trouble was precipitated by Bismarck, and that he, not Gambetta, forced France into it. The objective point of his policy was to get the French into difficulties and into serious foreign embarrassments, so as to compel large forces of troops to remain away from home, and, at the same time, to embroil France with foreign powers, such as Italy and Great Britain. By these means he hopes to keep her so occupied that she will not have the time or ability to quarrel with over her lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Germany is actively preparing for the next war, and to that end the govern ment is spending money like water. It has just resolved to spend 28,000,000 marks, or $7,000,000, in fortifying the seaport of Kiel, in Holsatia, under the superintendence of Gen. Biehler, one of the departmental chiefs of the War Office, and Maj. Schulz, of the Engineer Department. This means the taking of just so much money from the pockets of the taxpayers in order to squander it on unproductive public works. Is it any surprise that, with a policy of this kind, there should be so remarkable an emigration of the industrial classes from Germany? The “man-on-liorseback” is behind these costly fortifications, and not far off is the shadow of conscription from both of which the German arti san and farmer do well to flee while the road is still open to them. The Panama canal would seem to be an enterprise of sufficient dimensions to occupy the entire attention of the most ambitious engineer. De Lesseps is not content with it, however. He has closed a contract with the Greek Government for cutting the isthmus of Corinth and opening a ship channel between the i£gean sea and the Gulf of Corinth, agreeing to begin the work in 1882 and complete it in five years. The project is by no means anew one. The Emperor Nero attempted it without success, and there have been various canal schemes in modern times, stimulated by the narrow width of the isthmus, which is only about five miles across, and the obvious advantage to commerce of opening a passage through it. In 1873 a concession for a canal was made to a Greek banker, who failed to carry out his engagements. The British Government has forbid- den the circulation of the New York Irish World in the United Kingdom. That paper is engaged in the defense of the Irish tenants’ cause, as are many papers published in great Britain, and by the terms of the international postal treaty it is difficult to see how it can be suppressed, since the registration laws permit the circulation of papers on the condition that “the publication must consist wholly, or in great part, of po litical or other news, or of articles re lating thereto, or to other current topics, with or without advertisements.” Nothing is said of the character of political articles, and the inference from the action of the British Government is that it fears the liberty of the press, and is conscious of the weakness of its position with reference to Irish af fairs. of tenants and the obligations of landlords was de cided in an English court a few days ago, and it ought to have a direct instruction to ail persons hiring houses in this coun try. A Mr. Kinnaird, an artist, in Lon don, saw a house which pleased him, and wished to rent it as a family resi dence. The owner was also the builder, and Kinnaird inquired, earnestly and anxiously, as to the condition of the sewerage and the drainage, and was assured that it was in excel lent condition. The owner stated that he prided himself upon the drainage of his houses, and that the drains were in good order. Kinnaird therefore took a lease for three years and moved into the house in April, 1880. At first there was nothing to complain of, but in June the tenant informed the own er that the stench was so bad that the house was uninhabitable; that the drains were sadly out of order. A few days later, on the advice of a physician, he and his family left. There was a mass of conflicting testimony; one ,-ide claimed that under the floor there was a mass of foul, stink ing water, which the witnesses of the landlord explained did not amount to anything. The medical man found the wife suffering seriously from blood pois oning, proceeding from an escape of sewer gas, and that her illness growing more serious, he had ordered her remo val from the premises. The suit was brought by the tenant to have the con tract of lease rescinded, and to compel the landlord to pay damages, which were estimated at $1,300. The court decided that the tenant was entitled to the claim made by him. From the report of the case as given in the London papers, it appears that the landlord, having given assurances before leasing the premises that the drainage and sewerage were in good condition, that assurance, it is held by the court, became part of contract, though it was not written in the lease. The fact that the drainage was not perfect, and that sewer gas escaped into the house, the court held justified the tenant in leaving the house and in refusing to pay the rent, and enti tled him to be refunded the actual damage of removal, getting another house, medical care, and other actual outlays resulting from being obliged to change his residence. The London papers, in their comments upon this case, suggest that the tenant in this case was fortunate in having obtained from the landlord an assurance or a sort of warranty that the drainage was in good condition, and suggest that future ten ants, seeking to protect themselves, take a like precaution; otherwise they have no escape from the contract even if sewer gas shall poison the air of the premises. Sewer gas being now recognized as one of the great causes of blood poison ing,and its presence in dwellings so com mon and general, it is a question which must sooner or later be determined whether the tenants are entitled to pro tection against disease and death, or whether when they rent a house they assume the risk of its being a pest house. Yihj They Emigrate. The New York Commercial Bulletin sent oat its reporter among the emigra tion societies and ainoDg the immigrants themselves to ascertain, if possible, why Scandinavian Europe is emptying its population into the United States. The reporter returned laden with doleful tales from Germany, Austria and other countries, but also with speculations among the immigrants themselves a s to the cause. Some.it seems,fled from pover ty and oppression of stringent laws; some from apprehension of desolating wars in the near future; some merely to join their friends in a freer, greater country; some to seek fortune where money was easier made; some because the purchasing value of money had greatly diminished in their own country; some because others were going, and tens of thousands from as good countries as America seem seized with a mania for emigration to the New World. It ap psars that whole districts have been almost denuded of their population, and if the thiDg goes ou this way ten years the cry will be, “Young man, go East." My Lord Roscoc as an Independent Party. It is generally conceded that Conkling is hopelessly beaten, and so sure of it is the New York Herald, that it advises him to lead a “new movement” —that it is in his power to enter at once upon a new and greater career—that he will occupy an independent position, etc. Upon this the Baltimore Gazette re marks: “This is doubtless true. He will occupy a very independent position. The State of New York would rise up as one man and that man would be Conkling.” “Independent parties,” con tinues the Gazette, “may be built up upon great ideas, but never upon the disappointments of retired leaders. The disappointed caudidate often thinks American civilization a failure, but that is not a good time for him to try to build up a personal party.” A statesman, according to the New York Times, ought to be a man familiar with the history of the country and with the principles on which the government is founded. He should have profound convictions regarding the policy best cal culated to promote the power and great ness of the nation and the well being of the people, and he should have earnest ness and skill in giving shape to that policy and carrying it into practice. The proper field for a statesman’s activity, if ti legislator, is to be found in devising practical measures to meet the exigen cies of the time, and in using his powers of persuasion to promote their adoption and success. In a country like ours a statesman must understand the people of the country and feel a patriotic sympa thy with their purposes and desires, and he must needs rely confidently on their support. Foreign emigrants are landing at New York at the rate of twenty-five thousand a week, and many who are ekilled la borers and mechanics are being engaged before they leave their quarters at Castle Garden. The other day a Pittsburg iron manufacturer took five hundred Bkillcd iron workers, mostly Hungarians, out of the Castle and put them immediately to work. He is greatly pleased with his bargain. Many of the best classes of workmen are now fleeing from the high taxes and military conscription of Eu rope, and they will add immensely to the productive power of this country. Government Waste. The Provi dence Evening Press says: “The Wash ington gaslight company may take the cake. It collected $17,500 last year for gas furnished the Treasury Department, although all business in the department ceases at 4 o’clock every afternoon, and does not begin until nine the next day. (Somebody must be getting rich." ex-Senator Conkling. The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald publishes an interview with the late Mr. Hayes, In which he sayst “Mr. Conkling is a monomaniac on the subject of his own importance. He is so impressed with his own greatness that it has become more than eccen tricity. It is monomania. A patient often imagines that he is some distin guished character or superior being. The men who do his bidding Mr. Conk ling considers in a state of subjection to him, and those who refuse to obey his dictates he considers his most bitter ene mies. He thinks they are trying to hu miliate him. Humiliate is a favorite term with him. “In 1879 General Robinson asked Mr. Conkling to come and make speeches in Ohio, and his reply was: ‘Why do you ask me to come to Ohio when they have insulted me there?’ ‘lnsulted you! How?’ asked General Robinson. ‘Why, have they not endorsed this man Hayes’ administration, thereby making a direct drive at me?’ “Conkling’s downward tendency dat ed from 1876. He tried then, in every way possible, to defeat the Republican party in New Yoik. Governor Morgan, a candidate for Governor in New 1 ork that year, was well satisfied that Conk ling did all in his power to defeat him. “Conkling made three attempts to be tray the Republican party. This was one of them. The next was the electo ral commission. He had a speech already prepared to overthrow the action of the commission relative to the returns from Louisiana. Senator Morton discovered his plan, and succeeded in defeating it. There never would have been a Potter Investigating Committee bat for Conk ling. The Democrats were loath to go into it, and only did so at the earnest so licitation of Conkling. “I will not say he falsified in this case, for I think he really believed that the men on the Louisana Board had en tered into a bargain for the sale of that State, and Conkling assured Southern Senators that I would from very shame leave the White House in thirty days after the investigation had be gun.” The late Mr. Hayes is very generous to give Mr. Conkling the benefit of his honest convictions in regard to the con spiracy to steal the electoral vote of Louisiana. Millions of men all over the country “really believed” as Mr. Conk ling did, and by his admission the late Mr. Hayes virtually concedes that there were good reasons for that belief. Nevertheless, as the beneficiary of that crime, and as the rewarder of the in famous perpetrators of it, he feels it his moral duty to denounce Conkling not only for meditating the defeat of that foul conspiracy and instigating the Potter in vestigation, but for attributing to him a sense of shame which he does not pos sess. __ The Radical Party on Its Last Legs. One who is described by the Washing ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial (Rep.) as “a leading stalwart, a man known to the country at large and an intimate friend of ex Senator Conk ling,” is reported as saying: “To begin with, the Republican party is dead. If you think otherwise, culti vate the cheerful view until you hear from Ohio and New York this fall, and then remember what I say. The first important elections under the present administration occur in these States. We shall lose both of them, and it will be the beginning of the end. The Republican party with these two States in Demo cratic hands won't amount to much. The re-election of Conkling and Platt may helD matters some, but the damage is already done, and it is irreparable. The breach is made. Our party, I mean the Repub lican party, has been stabbed at a vital point. This is the last Republican ad ministration. It would be well to paint a sign and put it over the White House door thus: ‘James A. Garfield, last Re publican tenant of this building.’ James G. Blaine might occasionally glance up at it. I should hope he would. They will all go in the gentle spring time, 1884. I worked in the Indiana cam paign, the State which saved Garfield after Blaine lost his State, and when all looked dark. A Demo cratic friend said to me at Indianapo lis, ‘You are spending your time and money out here, and if Garfield gets in you’ll have another Hayes.’ I’ve thought of that since, and although I have no use for Hayes, I wish he was back again. We have a worse man than Hayes. But we’re done with Ohio men in the main. There will not be another one elected President this century unless he’s a Democrat. Ohio Democrats do very well, but Ohio Republicans—deliver me from them—that is, in the White House. I’ve given you a gloomy view, but no darker than I feel. I believe the Repub lican party is holding the last term of its lease of power. We can write over its tomb: ‘Killed, but not by the Demo crats. The Local Option Movement.

Signatures are coming in every day from all over Georgia. Secretary W. C. T. U. The Paris Monetary Conference.— The Paris correspondent of the London Times, under date of May 17, gives a syn opsis of the proceedings of the Monetary Conference of that day. Much had been said by the monometalli Jt journals about the attempt of the wily Yankee to entrap other nations into a scheme to improve the value of silver, which is represented as an American crop. This correspondent states that Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, an swered this suggestion very happily. He writes that Mr. llowc “in a speech, both witty and argumentative, vindi cated the disinterestedness of the Ameri can proposal, showing that the govern ment derived no profit from the silver mines; that the American people were farmers, not miners or traders; that the cotton crop was about seven times, the wheat crop ten times, the maize crop eight times the yield of those mines; and that America was anxious, not for a market for her so-called precious metals, but for consumers of the precious fruits of her agriculture. She offered to co operate iu maintaining the rate of silver as essential to the prosperity of the world.” Cbampagtu. "annar Fifty Baskets PIPER HEIDSICK CHAM PAGNE. Ten casks BASS' ALE.

The Live Oak and Rowland’s Bluff Railroad is boon ing. The L nion states that the convict camps, now situated about six miles north of Jackson ville, on the Waycross Road, are to be moved at once to a point near Calahsn. The Tampa Guardian says that Dr. Benja min, the newly appointed Postmaster at Tam pa, is the first Republican that has held the office In ten years. The Lake iew correspondent of the Tampa Tribune reports that considerble trouble ex ists in the minds of some people there, caused by the report that D. L. Yulee hss a legal claim on the old homestead sections that have been homesteaded by many, and on which val uable orange groves are growing. The Jacksonville Union states that O. J. H.

The new Tampa journal, the Gulf Coast Progress, re polls that the engineers of the Tampa, Peace Creek and St. John’s Railroad have started on the line of survey. They hive surveyed in and around Tampa about fo ?.y miles, and will speedily complete the whole line, when the work of construction will speedily follow. Dispatches advise the officials here that their Eastern friends and capitalists will shortly arrive. Tho Tallahassee Floridian says that there has been a remarkable activity in the sale of public lands at the Lanl Office since the first of January. For the six months preceding that date there was but one sale of school lads, and very few sales of internal improve ment lands. Below is a statement showing sales of all classes of lands since January Ist to da'e: Of internal improvement lands there were sold during the month of January 4.3T4.98 acres, for which there was received $4,113 26; February. 27,6)2.42 acres, $22,977 33; March, 8.595 32 acres, ?10,826 38; April, 33,298 45 acres, *20,713 96: May, 14,397.37, $!2,4c8 33.

Our Chattahoochee correspondent writes: “After a long drought, partial rains have come, but they are very partial. While our farm has a good season, the adjoining one is parched up, yet the farming prospect is hope ful. Cotton is clean and in good health, but there is not so much of it. Corn is more abun dant and very thrifty in some localities, while the worms are playing havoc with it in others. Farmers are tight pressed for supplies, and many negroes have gone away to work at railroads, st- am mills and timber camps,’’ Says the New York Herald “Messrs. Crccker Davidson, of New London, are building a large schooner for Beatley Young. The dimensions of the vessel are: Length of keel. 126 feet; breadth of beam, 32)4 feet, and depth of bold. 12 feet. The frame work is of dark and hard pine, and is now ready for the oat. hacktnetack and chestnut planking. The vessel is being constructed under the instruc tions of a insurance company, and will be rated A No. 1 for ten years.' She is to be launched in October.” K-y West Key: “A party of U. 8.

Duval states that his work covered quite a arge sec tion of the best land in Florida, (roiling pine hnd and very rich hammocks) and which he believes has not been heretofore known, and is enthusiastic on the subject of running a rail road down to Cape Bab'e. Here he stat-s will be found ample ports for a terminus, and the road running through one of the best tropical regions in the United States.” TahahasseeF’/oriditm: “Steps will soon be taken to arrange for the annual fair of the Middle Florida Agricultural Association. The assessments on the capital stock of the associ ation have been mostly paid up, and the insti tution is clear of debt and in fine financial con dition. It is intended that the next fair shall be the best that has ever yet been held, and no pains or expenditure will be spared to make it so. The buildings and grounds are all in good condition and provide ample accommodation for every clas j of exhibits. The experience of the rffic-rs has served to give them confidence and the knowledge requisite to make tbe future exhibitions even more successful than previous ones.” Tallahassee Floridian: “Colonel James G. Gibbes was in our office in Saturday, and gave us the latest news about the Pensacola and At lantic Railroad. He states that he has orders to begin at once tbe location of the road fromthis* end westward; that Col. Chipley, whom he met last week at the river, was acc tmpanied by Mr. T. G. McMichael, Supervising Engineer of the Louisville and Nashville Railread.and both gen tlemen are very confident and enthusiastic. They stated that the money was ready, part of the route already under contract.and somefifty or sixty miles at the Pensacola end will be lo cated by June 1, and the entire line located by August 1. Colonel Gibbes also stated that he would soon be prepared to go into the field to locate this end of the road, and that the work, as fast as located, would be put under contract at once, thus giving employment to a very large number of laborers at good wages. The expectation was that the work would be let in nia i sections to parlies residing along the line.” The Age of the Earth Tbe age of the earth is placed by some at live hundred million years, by others one hundred million years; and still others, of later time, among them the Duke of Argyll, places it at ten million vtars. None place it lower than ten million, knowing what processes have been gone through. Other planets go through the same process. The reason that other planets differ so much from the earth is that they are in a so much earlier or later stage of existence. The earth must become old. Newton surmised, although he could give no rea son for it, that the earth would at one time lose all its water and become per fectlv dry. Since then it has been found that Newton was correct. As the earth keeps cooling it will become porous, and great cavities will he formed in the interior, which will take in the water. It is estimated that this process is now in progress, so far that the water diminishes at about the rate of the thick ness of a sheet *>f writing paper each year. At this rate, in 6,000,000 years, the water will have sunk a mile, and in 15,000,000 years evfery trace of water will have from the face of the globe. The nitrogen and oxygen iD the aimospbere are also diminishing all the time. It is in an appreciable degree, but the time will come when the air will be so thin that no creatures we know could breathe it and live; the time will come when the world cannot support life. That will be the period of old age. and then will come death.— Prof. It. C. Proctor. New York’s Lunacy.—A New York correspondent writes: ’The aesthetic craze seems to be at its height. A single flower of large size is now worn on the waist of a lady’s dress, not a bunch, because it is in agreement with some rule of high art. Another freak of fashion is to wear an embroidered butterfly on one sleeve of a dress. Jew elry seems to run in the form of snakes, lizards and the claws of birds. A pretty girl wears a bonnet made of silvered silk, witn leaves and flowers of silvery mate rial fastened to one side with a silver turkey claw. What are called ‘theatre bonnets’ are made entirely of flowers. One worn by a lady of fashion is com posed of a purple pansy, one flower alone, the centre of the flower being on the top of the head, the purple aud yel low leaves dropping gracefully over her golden hair. But usually these bonnets are made of flowers of a kind, say roses, violets and liiics of tbe valley, a few green leaves, and are tied with long lace strings under the chin.” The discontent in Ireland does not abate The coercion bill has been a fail ure as it deserved to be; and the govern ment now has presented to it the alterna tive of enforcing the act with a brutal force and with a degree of bloodshed that will raise up friends for Ireland in England, or it must lecede from its haughty position. The liberal govern ment of England cannot afford to act Bto. cJ of r u d mnnitv even in dealing with despisea Ireland If the land bill had coms first there would have been no need for the coercion bill ggttttirrtal.

SINCE the introduction of this Spool Cotton Into the American market, its success haa been unprecedented. No other brand of thread has ever met with the same amount of public favor in the same space of time. The “O. N. T.” manufacturers were the first to recognize the Importance of the Sewing Ma chine and to make a six-cord cotton, which has ever since been the recognized standard for machines. All the improvements In machinery that the inventive genius of the nineteenth century has produced have been adapted by the mar utac turers of "O. N. T.” At all the great International Fairs of ths world, “O. N. T.” has been awarded the highest honors. The “O. N. T.” factories at Newark, N. J., and Paisley, Scotland, employ 5,200 operatives —make sufficient thread daily to go around the world four times. Consume 140 tons of coal daily. The manufacturers of “O. N.

After singing by the choir and a fervent prayer by Reverend L. B. Payne, Rev. J. O. Branch arose and pronounced a most beautiful eulogy on the life and character of the deceased. He was followed in interesting reminiscences by Revs. A.M.Wynn.G. G. N. MacDonell and Geo. C. Clarke. After the rendering of that grand old hymn, “I would not live alway,” a short prayer, full of fervor, was ma le by Rev. J. D. Mauldin, for the widow and orphans of Rev. Mr. Corlev.

Tbe Proceed* of ibe Third Day- Tbe Sunday School Question Elaborately D!*co**ed—Report on Temperance. The Conference reassembled on yesterday morning with Bishop Pierce in the chair. The order for the morning hour was taken up, and the following were elected alternate delegates to the annual session of the South Georgia Conference, to be held in Columbus next December: Rev. E. Heldt, John W. Cheatham, George T. Palmer and Robert Mclntlre. The following were introduced by Bishop Pierce to the Conference: Rev. W. Dunbar, of the Florida Confer ence, Rev. Mr. McFarland, of the First Presbyterian Church, and Rev. R. P. Kerr, of the Independent Presbyterian Church. The Conference resolved to hold its next annual session at Louisville, Georgia. The discussion of the Sunday school ques tion was then introduced by Rev. A M. Wynn, who answered tb*- question ‘‘What is a Sunday school What are its ob jects Among the more interesting sub jects discussed were:"Are Baptized Children Members of the Church?’’ “Music and Blackboard," "ThePastor,Superintendent and Teachers,” "The Art of Applying the Spiritual Truth of the Lesson,” ‘‘Ought Denominational Devotion be Taught, in the School and ‘‘Ought Incompetent Persons be Employed as Teachers All these points were ably and forcibly presented, the discussion being indulged in by twenty-nine different speakers, Bishop Pierce closing up the discussion by some wise and timely suggestions. Rev. Mr. Kerr, of the Presbyterian Church, addressed the body on the subject of “Applying Spiritual Truth of the Lesson,” which was warmly commended. Nearly the whole day was spent in considering this ail Important sub ject, and much valuable information wa6 gathered by the attentive audience. The Committee on Temperance brought in their report, which was read by the Chairman, Rev. J. O. Branch. The following resolution was passed: Revived, That the Morning News be re quested to publish the report of the Com mittee on Temperance. REPORT. Ail Methodists are pledged to abstain, not only from drunkenness, but from “drinking spirituous liquors, unless in cases of necessity.” Tbit fact sufficiently defines the position of our church upon the general question of temper ance. Except when needed as a medicine, there is no such thing recognized among Metho dists as a temperate use of a’coholic drinks Our people cannot be tipplers without for swearing themselves. What is called moder ate drinking is the violation of a rule they have solemnly promised to obey. With us. temper ance means total abstinence. And our princi ples upon this subject accord with the teach ings of science as to the nature, and of univer sal observation as to ill effects of the most mod-rate, habitual use of alcoholic stimulants. But ail discussion is superseded by a law that is practically irrepealable. For us, as Metho dists. the question is settled by the “general rules.” When appointed as a committee on tempe rance, we were instructed to have special reference in our report to the efforts now making: to secure such legislation as shall sup press the liquor traffic. The almost universal turning of the public mind in this direction signifies much to those who are accustomed to tracing the hand of God in great popular movements The people seem to be very gen eral!?- coming to the conclusion that the only way to save our country from the unspeakable woes involved in the habitual drunkenness of hundreds of thousands of her citizens Is to close the saloons. That the State has the right to do this by law has been affirmed by the highest judicial authority in the United States. We think that the time spent in defending this right is time wasted. The advocates of prohibitory legislation ought to refuse to be put upon the defensive any longeV. Our true position is that the State has no moral right to license the liquor traffic: no right not to rigidly prohibit the whole hor rible business. And we believe that this con viction is fast taking root in the minds and hearts of the people. More and mere they are awakening to the fact that it is the highest crime of which a State can be guilty to issue licenses to Iquor dealers, and thus become the paid accessory to the ruin of the homes, the destruction of the lives, and the damnation of the souls of her own citizens More and more they are realizing that it is the reproach and shame of our boasted civilization that the law licenses a business that Is the source of four fifths of the crime committed, that is murdering one hun dred thousand men in the United States every year, that is reducing countless families to pauperism, that is crowding our prisons with convicts and filling our asylums with maniacs. More and more they are taking to heart the truth that under our representative form of gov mraent the responsibility for the unutter able horrors of this accursed business is upon them. The time is hastening on when they can bear it no longer, Already the tone of petition is changing into that of an authoritative demand for this thing to come to an end. Legislature after Legislature has been forced to heed this demand. And in our own gtate, from tbe ukobtains to the seaboard, men. women and children are uniting to require of our law makers that our statute books be forever purged of the infamy cf the license laws which authorize saloon keepers to destroy our sons and to desoiate our homes. That a civilized people, calling thems- Ives Christians, so long submitted to the loss of property, of lives, end of happiness, involved in the liquor trade, be fore employing the whole power of govern ment to crush it, will one day be regarded as the most incredible fact recorded in history: This trade is doomed. The blood of its victims has long cried to God from the ground; the cry has been heard, and the answer has come In a quickening of the public conscience which promises to work our deliverance from the greatest curse that humanity has ever known. We offer for your adoption the following preamble and reso’utions: Whereas, The highest function of civil government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens; and whereas, a government that derives a revenue from licensing a busi ness that is destructive to both li'e and prop erty is false to its most sacred obligations: and whereas, the liquor traffic, now conducted under cover of legal license, is the direct cause of death to thousands and of the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property; there fore. Resolved. 1. That the State has no moral right to issue licenses to rum sellers. Resolved. 2. That we do most heartily in dorse the efforts now making to rid the statute books of the State cf Georgia of all laws that licence the sale of spirituous liquors, and their substitution by laws that shall prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage. Resolved 3. That we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to further the movement now in progress to close the saloons by law, and we urge our peep’e to rally to this work, and per severe in it until not one barroom remains to tempt our sons and to shame our civilization. Jas. O. Branch. J. B. K. Smith. W. B. Jokes. Dr. J. O. A. Clark offered the following, which was unanimously adopted, and a copy ordered sent to Judge Simmons: Jlctol'td, That this District Conference Indorses the action taken by Judge T. J. Simmons, of the Macon Circuit, in refer ence to the selling of intoxicating liquors to minors, and in keeping open drinking saloons on the holy Sabbath. The Conference adjourned to reassemble this morning to finish up the remaining business and adjourn sine die. Tbe Bine* Excursion. The excursion of the Blue 6 to Tybee yes terday, in point of enjoyment and financial success, exceeded even the great antici pations which had been felt. Tbe steamer left the wharf about quarter to three o’clock with a party estimated at over five hundred persons. Shortly after leaving the wharf it was discovered that there were two intoxicated men on the boat who were acting in a very disorderly manner. The steamer was stopped at the Lower Cotton Press and these worthies were promptly put on shore by the committee, and the steamer proceeded on her way. It is not known woo the parties were, but it is hoped they have been taught a lesson. After a pleasant run, rendered more en joyable by the music of the Mechanics Brass Band, Tybee was reached, and it was found that Mr. James K. Munnerlyn had a train of eight cars at the wharf tb convey them to the Ocean House. The trip was pleasantly and rapidly made, and in a few minutes the splendid pavilion on the beach was thronged with dancers. The evening passed very pleasantly, and the steamer left the wharf for the city at a quarter of ten o’clock, reaching here in the short time of one hour and a quarter. It will be seen by notice elsewhere that a lace shawl was lost on the steamer coming up. The committee are entitled to great credit for their management of the affair and its agrceableness. A Drunken Servant Seta Fire to a Mouse. A milk dealer on Wilson street, tear Walker, narrowiy escaped being entirely ruined by fire yesterday morning through the carelessness of a drunken colored servant who ia employed to milk the cows and drive the wagon. The boy is addicted to drunkenness, and had been several times discharged for this offense, but on promif ing faithfully to lead a temperate life in future was taken back. On Thursday night he returned about 12 o’clock to his room very much in toxicated, and dropped on the floor his pipe which he had been smoking. The embers ig nited 6ome trash on the floor, and about 3 o’clock the neighbors were aroused by the cry of fire, and the room was found to be in flames. The colored man Bill was found on the ground, where he had fallen from the second story of the kitchen. He was unconscious, and his hair and feet were badly scorched and burnt. Through the efforts of the neighbors the fire was ex tinguished with slight damage, which is covered by Insurance. Yesterday morning tbe colored individual went to a priest and subscribed in his presence to a solemn oath never to touch intoxicating beverages again, and it la hoped he will keep it.

Yesterday morning, at half past nine o’clock, the beantiful and impressive cere mony of confirmation was performed at Hie Hebrew Synagogue of Mickva Israel, on Monterey square. The occasion was the festival of the Penteccst or Sbabugnot, con sidered the most important in the Jewish calendar, it being the commemoration of the giving of the law on Mount Sanai. The church was most beautifully and elaborate ly decorated with choice fior&l designs, and additional interest and solemnity was given to the occasion by the confirmation of a class of young ladies and a youth, the sec ond time that the ceremony h&6 ever been performed in this city, having been inaugurated here by the present Rabbi of Mickva Israel, Rev. I. P. Mendes, a young prelate of considerable erudition, and noted for Lis eloquence, and who has done great service in behalf of the congregation. There were present at the services yesterday quite a number of Christians, who were deeply interested and impressed, as the beautiful pro ceedings were entirely new to them. The Synagogue was filled to its capacity, and the singing of the choir, uuder the leader ship of Prof. C. Mallette, was remarkably fine. The pulpit and platform were very pro fusely decorated with flower?,and stretched overhead in front of the Ark was the fol lowing, in floral letters:

i THESE THY CHILDREN, FATHER, HEED THEM.”

After the regular services appropriate to the day, which occupied about an hour and a hair, the CONFIRMATION SERVICE was commenced with the choir singing Psalm cxviii., and as the melodious strains filled the sacred edifice, the doors of the en trance to the main aisle opened, and the can didates for confirmation made their appear ance, the youug ladies being dressed in white, and each bearing a large bouquet of beautiful flowers, the youth being in the lead, also bearing a bouquet. The class moved slowly up the aisle In the following order: Master Joseph 8. Nathans, Miss Eden E. DeCastro, Miss Hannah D. Guckenheimer, Mi6B Miriam Weil, Miss Rose E. Morales, and baited for a moment at the altar plat form. They then separated, and filing around ascended the steps on either side and joined together in front of the reading desk, facing the Ark, where they gave oral declaration of their Intention, and then took seats on the platform provided for them. After some introductory remarks from the minister In reference to the occasion, the exercises were commenced with an in vocation to the Most High. Miss Miriam WeiJ, daughter of our well known citizen E A. Weil, Esq., was selected from the ckss for this duty, and, arising, advanced to the front of the platform facing the con gregation and delivered the OPENING PRAYER iu a most beautiful and impressive manner. Her diction was 6uperb, and the large con gregation listened with almost bated breath as the reverential words of appeal fell in clear, distinct and mellifluous tones from her lips, as follows: Eternal and omnipotent God, by whose word the universe was first called into exist ence, and who with loving kindness hath surrounded with a halo of love and mercy all that Thou hast placed therein, that the sons of man may learn to appreciate Thy gracious goodness and beneficence; Thou who hast with Tbine own bands wrought, link by link, the golden chain of peculiar selection with which Thou hast bound Thy people Israel unto Thee, accept we beseech Thee our words of prayer addressed unto Thee on this sol emn occasion, and deigD, O Lord, to grant us that speedy and long looked for answer which well Thou knoweet tby chil dren hope from Thee. How awe-iosplriug, O Lord, is the thought that we who are new suppliants before Thee, that we who have been prepared for this mo6t solemn ceremo nial, have yet to prove in the presence of the whole congregation of Jacob that our knowledge of cur religion entitles us to re ceive, with bended heads, Confirmation’s wreath of future duty, that wreath which is to be worn henceforth by ue, ar.d whose fragrant blossoms are to lend us i w life, new hope, neV strength and new z al. 0 grant that our own hearts maybe as pure as the 6now-whlte garments in which we are enveloped, and which are symbolical of all that is holy, just and true. Grant that our minds may be free from all clouds of doubt and uncertainty, and that Thou, with Tbine own hands, will litt the veil of childish em barra sment from before our eyes, giviDg us at tbe same time wisdom and penetra tion to pase tnrough the trying ordeal of our religious examination with credit and satisfaction unto Thee, our God, and with pleasure to our Instructor, whose untiring t ff orts in our behalf has prepared us for this great step. Guardian of tby children, rt member I beseech Tbce, in love and kind ness, my fellow classmates and friends. Bind us firmly unto Thee, our God, that in after years tbe recollection of Tby religion will keep us true unto Thee, faithful unto our charge and loyal to the tenets of that faith which will always form a barricade of strength around us, and whose simple yet eloquent appeals now serve to convince us that Thy favor is life, Thy presence is heaven, the smiles of Thy benignity are our chief joy and the delight of our soul: under Thy approving eye we must always be happy, now and forevermore. Amen. THE RELIGIOUS EXAMINATION consisted in the reverend teacher pro pounding the following questions: 1. What great lesson was imparted to hu manity and intended as an everlasting heir loom for all Interested lu the truths of the Bible 2. Granting that man believes in the exist ence of a God, and the necessity of acknowledging His superiority over all, how can we improve the opportunity of gaining closer communion with Him? 3. Ought not Judaism to convey to us some further lessons of God’s law than those which bear upon the manner in which we should serve Him in worship? 4. Repeat that portion of the Scripture which fully explains the principles of the first commandment. 5. By what name is that portion known to us? These questions were responded to at length by the candidates, respectively, and in a manner which showed their thorough understanding of the subject. The hymn "Come ye Children” was then exquisitely sung by the choir, and was after wards repeated by the Rabbi. CONFIRMANTB’ ACCEPTANCE OF TUE LAW OF GOD. Master Joseph T. Nathans, on behalf of the class, here advanced to the front and spoke as follows: “Here, in the presence of the mighty God of Israel, we yield that loyal allegiance which binds us henceforth to His holy law. We bow ou r beads with dutiful submission to all that He may decree concerning us in the future. We plaee all our hopes and all our trust iu Him, feel ing assured that He who is the mighty God cau place us far beyond the reach of dan gers or troubles, and cau erect o\er our heads the sacred tabernacle of everlasting peace. We will strive to show ourselves grateful for the honor conferred upon us to day by adhering to our heaveDly relation, by endeavoring to live In that religion, and reverencing it until the moment of the separation of the immortal spirit from its mortal dwelling place. We will carefully treasure up within our hearts this noble Inheritance left to us by our ancestors,and,like them,will always turn to Judaism as the only lamp which can illumine our souls with the hope of a future salvation. We believe in the immutability and eternity of our holy law, and, strengthened in this belief# we will never forsake that staff whereon we can lean for support in the snowy winter of our lives We accept the burden of duty Con firmation Use placed upon our shoulders, and we now turn to God with the heartfelt request that He wlil strengthen our resolves and cause us to grow up good men and good women, that He may teach us how to appreciate as well as follow tbe declaration of our fathers at the foot of Sinai.” Confirmants, in unison: "All that the Lord bath spoken we will do, and we wlil obey from now until the end of our days, Amen.” The confirmation bymD, "The Teachings of Our Lord,” was then sung by the choir, and afterwards read by the Rabbi. After a few remark? from the Rev. Mr. Mendes, the ex*mtnation of the confirmants was brought to a close with prayer, offered by Miss E’len E DeCastro with much fer vor and effect, her pronunciation and style being perfect. Intense silence pervaded the large congregation as in reverential manner she repeated the eloquent and beau tiful words which constituted the following CLOSING PRAYER. Almighty and Merciful Creator of the Universe, it is with feelings of the deepest veneration, with sentiments of the purest and most religious,Thy children again draw near to Tby footstool of mercy that we might seek communion with Thee, and in pouring out before Thee the desires of our hearts, ask at the same time Thy speedy answer to all that we might think, and to all that we might express with onr lips. O, do Thou, our kind and good Father, register in Thy Mighty Book of Record our declarations of fealty and love which we have made this morning, that these may form for us, Tby children, shields of strength and hope to protect ua from the chilling blasts of sin and temptation. Cause them, O, our God,to Illumine the path before us. so that the new life of religious responsibility, whose dawn ing hours we have been spared to wel come, may be the means of jlelding for ua that harvest of Thy Heavenly approval, whose golden ears of piety and after satis faction may be stored up by us in the treasuries of Thy benignant love. O ac cept onr offerings of gratitude on this the occasion of our confirmation! Bind them, O God. upon the Altar of Remembrance with garlands weaved from tbe fragrant flowers of Obedience, Honor, Faith and Justice I Teach us to be true unto Thee, that we may be true unto ourselves. O, warn us, God of Israel, when we feel that our strength is failing, so that our hearts may never fail to respond to the rich harmonies of Judaism’s law, whose music, suffer, we entreat Thee, to be appreciated and welcomed by us. God of Abraham, if little children’s prayers are heard in heaven, which firmly we believe they are, wilt Thou not accept ours in be half of those whom we honor with the endearing terms of parents? and, Lord, bestow a blessing upon their heads, a blessing burdened with naught save all that is good and noble. O, how can we ever repay them for all the wealth of love which they have lavished upon us, how can we ever compensate them for the hours of anguish, for the ages of painful anxiety we have caused them; how can we ever return that untiring watchfulness, that self-sacrifice and self-forgetfulness, with which they have crushed out from our young lives all thorns of unhappiness, which from time to time were placed to hurt and wound us. Yea, how can we ever repay all these obligations save by asking Thee to consecrate our lives to their wel fare, and teach ua how to be unto them that staff of comfort and that sun of hope which will support and warm them when age drops its silver sprays among their tresses of former prime and vigor. Spare them, Father, unto us; for the silken thread which binds us one to the other must break if They hands will not strengthen,it if Thy gracious love will not suffer it to knit, the good we have to Tby blessings, which may we all always deserve. Hear us and answer us, 0 Thou who knowest our future Turn not away from us; for hast Thou not in Thy mer cy promised “before ye call I will answer; while yet ye are speaking I will hear,” for "Israel is mine,” saith the Lord, now and forever. Amen. At the close of this prayer the minister made quite a lengthy, earnest and fervent address, alluding to the grandeur of the Jewish faith, the important lessons of tbe confirmation, the persecution which their race had borne from the bigoted and ignor ant, and urging the fathers and mothers to refresh their knowledge of the tenets of their religion, and encourage their children in the right way. The address was of great force, and had great effect on the congrega tion. BLESSING THE CONFIRMANTS by the minister theu followed, and was deeply touching and impressive. Misses Wei! and Morales advanced to the pulpit desk, and, bowing their heads, received the blessing. The other two, Misses Gucken heimer and DeCastro, followed, and then Master Nathans, with Misses Gnckenheimer and DeCastro on either side, approached and bowed his head for the blessing. It was a very solemn scene, and the mani fest emotion of the class who had taken this serious step affected the congregation, and many eyes were wet with tears. After the blessing, the choir sang Psalm cl "Hallelujah,” and the exercises were closed with the benediction. At Eatlll’a To>Day, iilj* Bull Street.

At a regular communication held this even ing the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: As the Mother Lodge of Georgia, and the one for whose benefit the recent Grand Masonic Bazar and Fair was inaugurated, it is but proper that in attestation of our great gratifi cation at its brilliant success, some special ex pression of our feelings be tendered those who were so instrumental in accomplishing such satisfactory results, therefore, be it Resolved by Solomon's ‘Lodge No. 1, F. and A.

To the noble, self-sacrificing ladles of our fair city, the wives, daughters, sisters and friends of Masons, who so zealously for three consecutive weeks devoted their time and efforts to the interests of the Fair. We further recognize the fact that to them is cue the full measure of praise and credit for the attrac tiveness of the exhibition and its general suc cess.

To the daughters of Solomon's Lodge— Zerubbabel, Clinton and Ancient Landmark— who at the first intimation that relief was de sired, hastened to her with pledges of assist ance.

To the Executive Committee, and the committees of the several Lodges, whose personal attention was unremittingly given to the work. In an eminent degree are the gratify ing results to be attributed to the wisdom which characterized their counsels, and to their general excellent management.

Hamilton discharged the onerous duties of Chairman of the Executive Commit tee is simple justice and is most heartily ac corded. Fifth. To those citizens of Savannah whose presence lent nightly such a charm to the ex hibition, and whose munificent patronage has enabled this Lodge to cancel a large propor tion of its indebtedness.

To the press of Georgia and the coun try generally for their indorsement of the Fair, and their favorable commendation of the cause to theirreaders. Seventh.

CUM DROP, PROFESSOR of Elementary Gastronomy in the Royal College of Art, and whose re cent achievement of eating twenty-seven raw doughnuts in twenty-seven seconds attracted attention in this country, as well as in Europe, has been visiting New York for the purpose of making very careful and minute examination of the Egyptian obelisk, and the result lias been far from gratifj ing to the savants whose translations have been accepted in whole or partially. Many of the idols of would-be ex perts are shattered by the learned GUMDROP, and admirers of the antique witl certainly be pleased with the final result.
