Later in the day Turner accused Shuttles of following hun up armed. Upon hearing this Shuttles readily gave up hs pistol. In the afternoon .buttles invited Turner to take a drink with him. After taking the drink Shut les walked out in front of Turner.and as he did so Turner without saying a word, fired upon Shuttles twice lu quick succession, both balls taking effect in the back. Shuttles died in five minutes. Turner was lodged in jail. The Meriwether jail is not secure, and if left there he will probably make his escape.” Post-Appeal: Information ha3 been re ceived in this city of the capture of the famous outlaw, w iley Redding, in Mississippi, “is subsequent escape. It appears that, a few days ago, a negro was arrested in a Mississippi town for robbing the mail. The author ties could find cut nothing about the prisoner except that he claimed to be one John Thomas. In a short time, however, he wrote a letter to a colored woman in Atlanta, asking her to send him some money. This fact and a faithful description of the criminal was at once forwarded to Atlanta and it became ap parent from the description and from the fact that the woman written to was Wiley Redding’s sister, that the prisoner was no less a peisonsge than the notorious Wiley Redding himself. Later intelligence states that Wiley has escaped, and his whereabouts are not now known. He is certainly one of the most desperate and dangerous criminals that ever baffled the police of this or any other city. He is one of the very cirminals who have succeeded in escaping from the Dade Coal Mines, and richly deserves hing ing.” Tboma*,ville Enterprise: “Some time last July, Duncan McMillan, an industrious colored min, went off to work on the railroad. His wife consented that a colored woman named should take a little daughter of Duncan's, about twelve years of age, but very small for her years, with her to wbere she lived on the plantation of Messrs. H J. A. T. Mclntyre. Very shortly after the child got there—not more than two or three weeks —she was seen going down the road towards Monticello, and the woman, after her, and calling to some others to catch the child, which, however, none of them did. as they thought she had been badly treated. The woman followed the child off, and returning some time afterwards said that she could not catch her. She sent word to the child’3 mother some weeks afterwards that the child had run away. Duncan came home as soon as he could, but.haviog a large family de pen-lent on his labors, he did not get hack till some few weeks ago. Since his return be has made diligent search for the child without avail. He has walked all around through that portion of the county, but so far cannot find a trace of his child. He says she was not very bright for her years, and could not possibly have gone away so as not to be heard of with out direction and assistance. He is too poor to pay detectives to woik up the case, but is most anxious for any information that will lead to the discovery of the fate of the child Griffin .Vetes: “One of the most lovely places In Braiding county is the carp pond of Mr. A. A. Wright in north Griffin. Those of our read ers who have never visited it can form little idea of its beauty. Mr. Wright, who is a genius in everything, has devoted to the improve ment of this place his best skill ani energies. We must confess to some neglect in not giving more prominence to an enterprise that has at tracted so much attention and favorable com ment in Georgia, and which has even filled columns in influential Western papers. The pond covers an area of nearly an acre and is supplied with water by a large, bold spring that boils up in the centre, and water conveyed by underground pipes from a number of springs several hundred feet distant. The dam is constructed in the best manner, being f flanked up on the inside of the best heart pine iimb r, with clay backing, on which is planted Bermuda grass Inside the pond, near one corner, is a dry well eight feet in diameter and ten feet deep, octagon shaped, at the bottom of which is a large hydrau’ic engine or ram that forces water through pipes all over the residence of Mr. Wright, where it is used for the various purposes needed, kitchen, bath room, etc., keeping up a constant fiow of water without the use of tanks or reservoirs, having the same pres-ure of an elevated tank thirty feet high and also keeping a beautiful fountaia continu ally playing seven jets of water fifteen feet high. Around the top of the dry well is a strainer or seive of wire cloth made to order in New York, through which the waste water escapes from the pond (thereby preventing the escape of the smallest carp), thence from tha bottom through a waste pipe which conveys all surplus water and waste from the pond and rani ixvo large weeping willows stand in the centre on two islands built octagon shaped and sodded with blue grass. The willows are the lai'gest and hsndsomest in the county and are exceedingly ornamental. Around the pond, on the dam, are other large weeping willows, which make the place look cool and pleasant. On the upper side are planted a row of mag nolias and weeping willows, and in the pond, spread on the surface, blooms the beautiful yellow water lilies, yellow iotus. curcutian recurrata, calladium esculantums, and a variety of other ornamental aquatic plants. In the depths of the pond swim the largest and finest carp in the State, ranging in size from tha tiny ones to those 23 and 24 inches in length. Of all sizes, there are a million of carp in the pond, and in them a very hand some profit for Mr. Wright.” Florida Affairs. Vegetables are scarce in St. Augustine.

A number of new settlers from Wisconsin will arrive in Volusia county early in the fall. A preliminary survey of another new rail road from Orange City to Blue Spring has been made. The Spring says that Messrs H. M. Moss, G. T. Butler and R R. Thompson, of Green Cove Spring, while on an alligator hunt on the Oek lawaha last week, had the misfortune to lose a pair of $350 mules. It is not kntwn w hether they broke out of the lot of their own accord or were stolen. In Volusia and contiguous couaties the sea sons, says the Orange City Times, have been excellent so far, and there can be no complaint from the farmers either about the seasons or the weather. On the other hand Middle and West Florida are sorely in need of rain. There were shipped from YVelborn, from May Ist to 24th, 834 crates of vegetables, mostly beans, which sold at two dollars and three dol lars per crate. The new Baptist church at Apopka, fifty two by fifty-three feet, is quite a good sized build ing. The frame is up, and the material on the plage. The contractor expects to complete the building within one month. From the 29th of April up to June Ist there was shipped from Live Oak 1,446 crates of vegetables, weighing 43,443 pounds. 2 *,433 crates, amounting to 3,232.78* oranges, were shipped from Tampa since the 6th of Oc tober by the Tampa Steamship Company a vessels. A few shipments of oranges were mode in other vessels. It is thought that dou ble that amount will be shipped next seasoD. Tampa Tribune: “One thousand three hun dred boxes of pe. cil boards have been shipped from this port in the past six months. There are but two mills in the county cutting cedar at present—those of Mr. D. M. Blue, at Alafla, and L. M.

The anxious sufferer with Piles, or Hem orrhoids, who has sought vainly for relief, can find it by using Tabler's Buckeye Pile Ointment, the best remedy known for that dreadful disease, jelO F,M,W£ per ceDt. The weather was very dry everywhere from about April 20 to May 28. Fifteen reports state it as less favorable, five as the same as last year, and only two as more favorable. Since May 28 rains have been general. StaDds are good wherever cotton came up well, which is generally the case with the early planting. Some had to be replanted. Of this a mod erate percentage was not uo yet, but can do well with favorable weather. One report only gives the crop as earlier, two as the same, and all the others as later than last season. Tbe condition Is good and healthy, though the plant is rather small, being stunted in growth by the continued dry weather. The fields are clean and free of grass and weeds. Labor is re ported to be fully as good as last year, and in some sections as even more efficient. Nine reports give the quantity of fertilizers used a the same as last year, ten give an increase ranging from 5 to 25 per cent., and three reported a decrease. The average in crease will hardly exceed even If it reaches 5 per cent, owing to the coniluued dry weather, which badly baked all strong clay lands. Some planters had not quite finished planting at the date of reports. Owiog to some cause some lands intended for cotton were never planted. Some, as stated, were replanted, where, from the lack of moisture, the seed failed to germinate. The rains, though general since May 28th, have not been heavy. While the crop is undoubtedly later than last year It is fully up to the average years. There is no doubt but that about 15 per cent, of commercial fertilizer was brought into and made in this State and were shipped to distributing points, but there is a sood deal now at the depots unsold. The planters and farmers as a rule have com menced the season under very unfavorable conditions. For two years past the cereals and subsistence crops have virtually failed and are not very promising this year. The result is that much money has been spent for provisions of all kinds, and the sales of corn and hay this spring to supply the country have exceeded those of the past three years together, ln some sections farm stock is running down for want of proper nourishment, and more applications have been refused here by manufacturers last winter and spring for advances to plant ers than for several years past. Norfolk, Ya June 9 —Following is the report of the condition of the cotton crop made by the Exchange and compiled from seventy-nine replies from thirty-four coun ties in North Carolina and Virginia, the average date being May 81. Twenty-four show the same acreage a6 last year. Fifty-five show an average increase of 13 16 per cent, over the acreage of last year. Thirty seven show less favorable weather, and eleven show the same weather as last year. Thirty eight report fair to good stands, twenty one poor to bad, and ten the same as last year. Sixty show the crop to be eleven days later than last year, thirteen report it nine days earlier, and twenty five about the same as last year. Forty three report the condition of the crop good, nineteen fair, and seven teen poor. The general tenor of the replies shows that labor has decreased slight ly in number and is not so efficient as of late years. Strenuous efforts are being made la some sections to induce Immigra tion, and thus offset the depreciation In labor. An average of twenty-four replies shows an increase Of 18 per cent, in fertili zers over last year, thirty-three an increase and only eleven the same amount used as last year. Nine show a decrease ln the amount used. The cold, dry weather in the latter part of May retarded tbe growth of the plant somewhat. Chopping out is de layed bv the scarcity and inefficiency of labor. Reports of worms come from two counties, and hail storms are reported by two counties. Letter from South Florida. Marion County, June 5 —Editor Morning News: Not seeing any news in your paper from this little village, I have concluded to send yqu a few lines. We have a very pretty (xmntyyand gome nice orange groves started. Some of our people are reaping benefits from their labors But we have one serious drawback, the want of transportation. We live within about sevpq or eight miles of Orange Lake, bat freight sent to Philadelphia i* eight to ten days in reaching that place. Our farmers went into truck farming pretty heavy this season, and I am sorry to say that not one out of ten realized money enotigfc to pay for gathering and boxing his' vegetables. Th* outlook is very gloomy, as many did not plant “king ootton,” and the corn crop is now cut short by the drouth. It has been about six or seven weeks since we have had rain enough to moisten the ground. If we do not have raffi soon there will not be any corn made in our immediate section, as it is now in full silk and tassel. What little cotton was planted is look ing well. We have a most desirable locality for truck faro ing. having plenty of high, dry, rich lands, but until something is done to give us quick and cheap transport .tion we cannot make it pay. B*.z.

THE SOUTH’S OPPORTUNITY. i Object* and Scope of the Internation* al Cotton Exposition—A New Era of Progress and Prosperity About to Open. Nashville American. Marietta, Ga., Jane 4.—The Interna tional Cotton Exposition, to commence on the sth of October, 1881, at Atlanta, Ga., was the result of an interview between the business men of the North and the South, and is meant as a great national fair. At lanta, becanse of its central location, and its facilities of approach and accommoda tions for visitors, was selected as the most fitting point for this fair, or exposition. There was nothing selfish in the choice, as is apparent from the readiness of the cities of the North in their liberal subscriptions of money in its aid. Nor was it intended sole ly for the benefit of the cotton interests, but as cotton is the great Industrial interest of the South, It was deemed proper that it should have the name of that great staple. To the acute perceptions of the business men of the North, its Immense agency in promoting the Interests of all sections and all interests was palpable, and they entered with alacrity into the scheme. These men are ambitious to promote the general wel fare, they are men of liberal views and en larged patriotism, and see clearly that the Interests of the South are the interests of the nation, and desiring, as much as in their power, to aid the South in building up of her broken fortunes, not only consented, but desired that this Exposition should be located in the heart of the S>uth, and considering all its advantages for such an enterprise, selected Atlanta. There was another motive; here could, and probably would be assembled the great est number of the business men and plant ers of the South, and through this means the benefits to be derived to the South would be more extensively disseminated, which was so much desired. It would most likely bring into closer communication the North, West and South, where and when might be discussed the great practical in terests of all sections, and their people be come better known to each other; where, too, in their exhibits, might be seen the re sults of the experience of every section in the machinery, implements, and manufac turesof each. In thus organizing this Exposition it was the desire of every one to benefit the South, and by enlarging the intercourse between tbe people of all the sections. Every Southern man will admit that the great Interest of the South is the production of cotton, and that interest is greatly periled by the pre sent system of its production. Whoever has read that masterly address of President Morehead before the National Cotton Plan ters’ Association, at Memphis, will at once recognize their peril. He demonstrates that as we increase the quantity we reduce price, and, of consequence, the per cent, upon the capital invested in its production, and shows that a crop of 8,000,000 bales would so reduce the prices that it would notj pay 1 per cent, upon the capital. Such a state of affairs would confine the South to per petual poverty. It must be abandoned or else the Southern planter, as now constitu ted, must surrender his country and home to a superior intelligence, which will to manage this mine of wealth as to make it all that it can be made. A higher and more economical Intelligence must lay bold upon it and develop Its wonderful capacitlep. Cannot those now engaged In this indus trial pursuit be taught that tbis is the ob ject mainly of this international exhibition of the appliances of agriculture and the arts. When the higher intelligence of the coun try are in council with the specimens of every industry before them, will there not be eliminated such truths as shall enlighten and lead to the adoption of such means as will greatly change the present ruinous system of agricultue to tbe Bouth? The great mass of tbe Southern people are agri culturists; it is her great interest, and Intel ligently directed is destined to make her people the most prosperous and most pow erful of the nation. It is especially in her interest that the International Exposition was conceived, and she Is kindly invited to give all tbe aid she can in making this great effort in her cause a success, and from which shall be dated the commence ment of anew era in her history. New industries are beginning to claim the attention of the enterprising men of the BoUth. To develop these, capital is re quired—the North has this in abundance. It only needs to be shown that its invest ment in Southern industries will be more profitable than in those of the North, and that it will be safe to induce Its rapid In flux. The proits from the manufacture of cotton goods are known to be greater here than in any other section, and it is being stimulated to active growth. The aceu mulating capital of the North Is finding its way in this direction, and in the building of new railroads. Every section of the South is being pierced with these, where there is promise of employment for them of such a character as will ultimately make the Investment pay. The vast resources of the South in mineral wealth only need to be known to be appreciated and developed. The States of Georgia, Alabama, South and North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri,Tennes see and Texas are all rich in iron, copper, zinc and gold, abounding in the finest timber for all the purposes of man’s use. Here is the finest water power in the Union.to be utilized at the least expense. The climate Is pro pitious and healthful, and every inducement exists to Invite population and capital. This is only to be known to secure this, and to this end no means are so effectual as those which will prompt investigation. It is believed this great Southern fair, or ex position, will do this, because there will be on exhibition specimens of all these min erals and woods of the country to demon strate their existence here in the greatest abundance. The time is especially propitious. There is abroad a spirit of enterprise. The ani mosities created by the war are fast passing away. Every-one is beginning to feel that the whole country Is theirs, and that the Interest of one is the interest of all, and that every person and every Interest is equally protected everywhere. Money Is abundant, begging for emplovmeut, and enterprise is seeking for this. It is the ob ject of the International Cotton Exposition to promote this, by bringing together those wl o will Impartially appreciate these great advantages of the 8 >uth, and who will lay hold upon and develop them. No section is so much interested In this enterprise as the South; her need Is a divis ion of pursuits, that all may equally pros per andno one be overdone, and of con se quence ruined. She wants tbe development of her resources to augment her wealth and population, to create capital and to keep and to employ it here, not only to save the millions employed, but to employ their earnings here as a part of her wealth. The statistics of the country show that whilst the cotton planter accumulates from the growth of cotton ten dollars, the manufacturers accumulate fifty, and in this the South is but the vassal of the manufac turers in Europe and New England, The millions of iron and steel imported into the South is but a drain upon her Industries, as she prvst-eeecs within her own borders all of this, and its elaboration by her own people would, of Itself, save to her every dollar which goes to pay for these Imported ma terials. We ask our people to arouse to the exertion which ahail accomplish this. Heed no. longer the croakers' croaking; arise to action, and forget the past. Come to the Exposition, and believe that it is what it professes to be, and that it will re sult in great good to the South. It only needs concert of thought and unity of ac tion to build up rapidly our waste places and to make the South even mere tbe gar den of tbe naMon than she ever was. Let every energy be put forward in this effort, and success is pertain. W. H. Bparks. George Stephenson’s Birthday.

The evi dence against him is reported to be conclu sive. Jacob Corderla, living near Btnyrna, Del., was accidentally shot by the discharge of a gun in the hands of a friend, The whole charge entered his head and face, one shot entering the eye, which it is supposed he will lose.

Moore Son, of London, Aberdeen and Seville, have just purchased ground on the Brandywine river, in Wilmington, Del., for the erection of a large cannery. They will run a private llfie of ocean steamers, to ply between that city and London, to supply their trade. Most of the raw material will be taken from the peninsula. At East Saginaw, Michigan, one night this week, a gang of roughs attached to a circus attacked a crowd at a dance house, using clubs to beat them with.

Oe Utornitjg flcics. NO. 3 WHITAKER STREET, (MORNING NEWS BUILDING). J. 11. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSON, Editor. FRIDAY 7 IINK 10, 1881. Malione has the warm support of Gen. Grant, and he thinks he can induce that chieftain to come to Virginia and make a few speeches to the negroes. It is to be hoped the administration will include the Interior Department in the localities to be investigated. There is a fine field for a strong drag net there. Gen. Wm. H. Payne is talked of as the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia. Payne was a Confederate brigadier. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has a large and influential support for the same office. General Grant arrived-at St. Louis on the 7th inst. from New Orleans. He did not know how his badges came to be in the hands of the two men arrested at Texarcana. lie thought his Japanese servant left them in Chicago. He re fused to talk politics. The richness of the Alaska gold mines has been greatly exaggerated. The gold is hard to get at, and does not exist iD the quantities reported, and the theories about big nuggets are pronounced by parties who have traversed the gold belt as decidedly mythical. The Cincinnati Gazette publishes a carefully prepared article to prove that Conkling is insane. The fact that he is the first member of the Republican party who ever resigned a good office without having a fair tail hold on a better one goes far to subject him to the suspicion of lunacy. The New York Times says that the Republicans of Virginia ought not to antagonize Mahone, as they would by doing so "cnly retard the progress of the State towards that kind of civiliza tion that prevails at the North.” But pray is “that kind of civilization” de sirable in the South? East St. Louis has been lighted by the tower electric lamp system, the water tower on the river, a building over two hundred feet high, being utilized for thiß purpose. On this a light of 32,000 candle power was fixed. The experi ment was a success, lighting up the town and the river for over a mile at a cost of $o a night. Rev. or Professor Swing, of Chicago, who runs some kind of a nondescript institution in that moral city, wants ali the vulgar, nonsensical portions of the Old and New Testaments stricken out, and Robert Ingersoll wants the whole thing blotted out. Prof. Swing and Robert Ingersoll agree pretty well with the Russian Nihilists. The scheme for a great musical festi val in New York next year, under the direction of Theodore Thomas, has already taken practical shape, and an ex perienced agent will be dispatched at once to Europe to close engagements with artists of celebrity. Subscriptions to the guaranty fund have already reach ed the sum of $55,000, sufficient to in sure the success of the undertaking, and it is expected that the amount can easily be raised to $75,000 or SIOO,OOO. The London Jockey Club is such a highly aristocratic and genteel organiza tion that the owner of Iroquois, the winner of the Derby, cannot become a member, because he is "engaged in trade.” This is rough on Mr. Lorillard, who considers himself quite an aristocrat in this country. He has his consolation, however. Being in the wholesale snuff and tobacco trade, he can afford to turn up his nose at the small fry retail deal ers. as he doubtless does, and at all the low consumers of the articles he supplies, as well. This ought to make him happy. The seaside resorts, not satisfied with prohibiting the Hebrews, propose to banish the children as well. At the Cliff House, at Tarrytown, N. Y. t the sign conspicuously declares, "Adults only will be entertained.” Several other ho tels in the vicinity have made similar an nouncements, and a general warfare against children seems to have been be gun by the hotel men. The proprietor of the Cliff House is also an anti-Hebra ist, refusing to lease his rooms to Jews. It is probable that, in the course of time, the seaside resorts will grow still more particular, and demand a moral health certificate from everybody calling for a breakfast or a lunch. Said the New York Times a few days ago: "The Democratic party in Arkansas is in a lair way to be permanently divided on the same issue which ha 9 split the Virginia Democracy,” that is, the State debt question. Such a division has been threatened, but is not imminent. Mr. Fishback, the leader of the "amend ment” or “Readjuster” wing of the par ty. has recently written a letter to the Little Rock Gazette, which represents the non-amendment wing, that he will support "the ticket, platform and all,” of the next Democratic convention, whether opposed to the constitutional amendment or not, and the Gazette re sponds that it intends to make "no fight outside of the Democratic ranks.” The Cincinnati Timex Star thinks that there is to be a revival of canals, and that the traffic of the future will be largely carried by water. There have never been more canal enterprises ou hand than just at present First in im portance is the Panama canal; then comes Corinth canal, to cut across the isthmus of Corinth and shorten the dis tance to Constantinople; the Cape Cod canal to shorten the distance around the cape; the Baltimore canal, to cut across Delaware and save the voyage down the Chesapeake; the Hennepen canal, and the proposed canal through Florida, which would shorten the voyage from New Orleans to New York and Liver pool several hundred miles. Sir Anthony Musgrove, Governor of Jamaica, is in New York on business. He says Jamaica is very greatly in need of Americans and American ideas, to stir the people up. The British Govern ment has over 70,000 acres ot good land for sale, which has reverted to it on ac count of the failure of the owners to pay rent. Musgrove saysi these lands will be offered to Americans at low rates. There is plenty of negro labor to hire at from twenty-five to fifty cents a day, but the negroes are very lazy, and it is diffi cult to get them to do any work,although they have abundant opportunities. Mus grove says Jamaica wants an American who knows how to keep a flrst-clasa hotel. The Courier-Journal suggests that perhaps Conkling, Platt, Gorham and Chandler might be induced to try (heir fortunes on the island. A Stormy Administration. Mr. Tilden is credited with having prophesied that Garfield's would be the stormiest administration this country had ever witnessed. The prophesy seems to be in course of fulfillment. Its open war with Conkling and his faction, and his ears filled with insidious tales of corruption and disloyalty on the part of Blaine, it is industriously circulated that Conkling, Grant Cos. will shortly be gin a cruel war upon Garfield, and briDg back “Boss Shepherd” to aid them in a full expose of Garfield’s "De Golyer Pavement” bribe-taking while he was a member of Congress. “When rogues fall out,” etc. Great pains were taken to cover up or explain away the black charges of corruption against Gar field by the famous “Investigating Com mittee” of the Forty-sixth Congress, and after he was nominated for President even the Democrats grew mild upon the subject, and ceased altogether upon his election. Guilty he certainly was, in their opinion, but that only fitted him for high position in the Repub lican ranks, and now that he was President, and possessed of un doubted ability, they would throw no obstacle in his way of a fair administra tion of the government In his fight with Conkling, therefore, as the least of two evils, they confirmed the appointments of Garfield, and though Conkling may bring to his aid General Grant and his cohorts, and though Blaine may be thrown off by disaffection and disloyalty, the Democrats will adhere to their policy, and guide the storm to Republi can destruction. Another Weak Legislature. The legislative bodies of the country, according to the newspapers, are singu larly weak and inefficient. Of the Penn sylvania Legislature, which was to ad journ yesterday, the Philadelphia Keen ing News remarks that even the well iu tentioned men were powerless to control the noisy factions, and allowed them selves to be driven here and there by bogus reformers, who assumed to repre sent popular alarms; which shows that even honest, clear headed men, if lack ing in aggressive force, do not make use ful legislators. In brief, says the New, the Legislature has utterly failed in its duty, and the session has been foolishly frittered away for lack of moral strength. The same will doubtless be said of the New York Legislature when it adjourns after its long squabble over State Senators, and, as we have already given the press views of the recently adjourned Illinois Legislature, it will be seen that the Legislatures of the three most popu lous States in the Union (all Republican) arc severely castigated and denounced in unmeasured terms by leading Republi can journals, not only as inefficient and worthless, but as positively factious, immoral and mischievous. Thus it appears, according to their own showing,that Republican administration, whether small or great, local or general, sectional or national, bear exactly the same complexion—and that Republican State Legislatures are but the reflex of the grand central oligarchy at Wash ington. Practical Reconeiliatiou. During the ceremonies at the New York Academy of Music on the evening of Decoration day, Major General Doubleday met Bishop Stevens, of South Carolina. General Doubleday, in his speech, stated that twenty years ago be aimed the first gun fired in the war at the Confederate cause—referring to Fort Sumter; and that twenty years ago Bishop Stevens, then in command of Stevens’ battery, Charleston harbor, aimed the first gun of the war against the United States, waving over the Star of the West, which came with reinforcements to Fort Sumter, and that he offered him his hand as a token of the reconciliation between the North and the South, as ex emplified in his appearance at the acade my to do honor to the Union dead. The audience, at the request of the presiding officer, Major General Sickles, rose en masse and ratified the contract by enthu siastic applause. This is an episode of practical reconciliation and illustrates that the country at heart is tired and weary and disgusted with the sectional ism and bitterness that has been so long kept alive by political charlatans for sel fish and ignoble purposes. Agreed on One Point. Whatever may be the gripiDgs and troubles ot the Republican party—how ever many fragments into which it may be violently rent, and however fiercely its leaders may denounce and oppose each other—all are agreed on one point, and that is the encouragement of Mahone to dissolve the “solid South.” On this question the triumphant Garfield and Blaine can cordially shake hands with the defeated Conkling and Platt. Re publicans never lose sight of the “loaves and fishes,” and however absorbing the deadly feud among themselves, they can always unite against any other party which endangers their game of plunder. A Serious Charge.— At a meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce last week, Colonel Frederick A. Conk ling created a sensation by declaring that one of the members of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Rep resentatives had been bribed (in the sum of $100,000) to prevent legislation on the sugar question. The money is alleged to have been paid by certain sugar mer chants in New York city. The report of the committee on the main question is very severe on ex Secretary Sherman, with which the chamber is at issue. In his last communication to the chamber he is charged with "evading the ques tion,” and in "saying what was not true.” Mr. Phillips, one of the committee, said, to sum it all up, "he had exceeded his duty as an executive officer and assumed legislative powers, violating the plain terms of a law, and the Chamber of Com merce should put itself on record in op position to an act so reprehensible.” Fence or No Fence.—The farmers of Randolph county, Ga., have been in council and debate on the subject of "fencing stock” instead of the farms, and as but one speaker appeared in favor of the old law on the subject, it is pretty clear that the farmers of Ran dolph are nearly unanimous for saving the annual expense to the county of "$70,000 for repairing old fences," to say nothing of the waste of valuable timber in constructing rail fencing enough to connect "Cuthbcrt with the City of Washington." New York Freemasons. The Grand Lodge of New York met on the 7th. inst The report of the Grand Secretary showed an increase in the last year of 2,674 initiated, 2,694 passed, and 2,577 raised, with 640 ap plications. Total increase, 8,884! ex pelled, 86; suspended, 10. Unaffiliated during the year for non payment ot dues, 4,029; restored to membership, 859; total membership in good standing, 72,867; deaths, 866; receipts of the order during the year, $83,556 55, William Penn’s Remains. It seems that in the negotiations for the transfer of the ashes of William Penn from their resting place in England to the great city which he founded in America no account was taken of the trustees of the cemetery in which they have rested for 163 years. After the consent of his surviving lineal descend ants had been obtained it was supposed that there was no other person in exist ence who could interpose any legal ob stacle to the proposed removal. Mayor and Councils of Philadelphia, the Penn sylvania Historical Society and the State Legislature united in a request to the English descendants of Penn to permit the people of Pennsylvania to pay this posthumous honor to their illustrious ancestor. Gov. Hoyt requested Mr. George Leib Harrison, a wealthy citizen of Philadelphia, who was about to sail for Europe, to act for the State govern ment, and to do whatever might be necessary to secure the object in view. Mr. Harrison is now on his way across the ocean, but it is not likely that he will succeed in his mission. Under date of June 4, Mr. R. Littieboy, one of the trustees of the burial ground in Buck inghamshire, in which Penn is buried, writes to the London Times that no ap plication has been made to the board of trustees for the removal of the remains, and that if such a request were made it would not be entertained. It is to be presumed that without the consent of the legal custodians of the cemetery the grave of Penn cannot be disturbed, and it is said that Penn and his last wife were buried side by side in the family lot, and that there is no record by which the one grave can be identified from the other. Panama Protocol. The Panama Star and llerald publishes the following resume of the leading points of the protocol, said to have been signed by the representatives of Colom bia and the United States at New York "Ships of war and military convoys of the United States may, in peace or war, pass free through the canal without pay rnent of tolls. By common consent both governments will select in territory in the isthmus places appropriate for forts, arsenals, coaling depots and naval store houses. In time of peace there shall be no military force on the isthmus beyond that indispensable for the repair and pre servation of such forts, arsenals, etc. In case the neutrality of the canal should be threatened, the United States are author ized to take military occupation of the isthmus, and Colombia will be obliged to co-operate. Ships of war and military expeditions of all other nations except the United States will have no right to pass through the canal in time of peace. Nevertheless, the two nations may, by mutual understanding, permit the inno cent use of the highway to such ships and expeditions. Colombia undertakes not to enter into negotiations concerning the canal, or alter the rules and regula tions governing it, without previous ac cord with the United States.” The Star and Hera Id adds: "The pro tocol has been disapproved by the Co lombian Senate. Deichman, United States Minister to Colombia, and author of the protocol, is furious. The govern ment, Senate, press and people have unanimously denounced the protocol.” A Pretty Tea Party. Gath writes: "Conkling’s dispatch to Mahone was one of his cunning signs of timidity. There is little que lion but that in the interest of himself, and not of the Republican party, he opened ne gotiations with Mahone even before the Presidential elections, to get control of the Senate and have a vast swoop of pa tronage throughout the country, whether the President should be a Democrat or a Republican. The Camerons were in thorough sympathy with this scheme,and Gorham was the principal agent to carry it out. It resulted in the precipitation of an issue before the Senate at the special session which the President did not intend nor the country desire. The Republicans of the North who have any sense are opposed to splilting up the South by corrupting it. The policy of Conkling and Mahone was to split the South, not by a chastened and altered sensibility and reflection, but by scattering the loaves and the fishes of the United States into the South, so as to make a scramble, and out of the scram ble possibly break up the Democracy. This would only be another version of the carpet-bag campaign, whose emissa ries were sent into the South to take possession of the Southern State govern ments, and by their corrupting influence divide the people. The scheme has failed ignominiously. Mahone is planted on the disgraceful platform of cheating the State creditors, and he dare not say the simple word that he is a Republican. He wants to say he is something else and get Republicans to support him.” The Philadelphia Evening News, a stalwart organ, says "The star route thieves should be rigidly prosecuted aDd punished; but it is passing strange that the only person capable of detecting their guilt or urging their prosecution is a bitter Democrat, who has heretofore shown great readiness to use his powers to shield Democrats and punish Repub licans.” It is rather strange that a Democrat like A. 31. Gibson, who, it will be remembered, was so conspicuous in exposing the Credit Mobilier frauds, should be employed by President Gar field to track the star-route thieves; but the fact only goes to show that be can find no man in his own corrupt party whom he is willing to trust with the business. President Garfield has a lively recollection of Gibson’s enterprise and sagacity as a prober of official cor ruption. A letter has just been published, writ ten by Gen. J. M. Schofield in Septem ber, 1880, and addressed to the Secretary of the Society of the Army of the Cum berland, in which be claims for himself most of the glory of the Nashville cam paign, which resulted in the discomfiture of the Confederate General Hood, and which has heretofore been awarded to the late Gen. Geo. H. Thomas. In re gard to the battle of Franklin, one of the bloodiest of the war, General Schofield says he fought it on his own volition to save all his baggage and supplies, and without even the knowledge of General Thomas, who was in Nashville, fifty miles away. A number of the largest cotton houses of Memphis, Tenn., have formed a com pany for the purpose of building and operating a compress, elevator and ware houses for cotton storage, and to that end have purchased sixty acres of land lying along the river front. These houses represent three hundred thousand bales of this year's crop, and financially are equal to any amount necessary to carry out their object. The enterprise is ex pected to be of considerable advantage to Memphis, which is reaching out for the cotton product of the Southwest. Many Republican newspapers in the North have spoken favorably of the Re adjuster nominations in Virginia, and have advised the Virginia Republicans to support the ticket Anjong the journals that have committed themselves to the cause represented by Senator Ma hone, and his followers, may be men tioned the New Yorjt Times and Tribune, the Philadelphia Press, the Boston Tran script, Traveller and Herald, the Hart ford Courant, the Providence Star and the Buffalo Advertiser. A Nobby Christening. The New York Home Journal gives the following account of a recent christ ening party in Hartford: "About three or four hundred repre sentatives of Hartford, New York and Boston society assembled at the house of Charles H. Brainard on Capitol avenue, Hartford, on the afternoon of the 16th of May, to witness the baptism of his granddaughter, the infant child of Edgar T. Welles and wife. The christening took place in the large drawing room, which was decorated with choice flowers from Kin ner of New York, and Spear of Hartford. At one end of the room were two large pillars of lilies and roses, and between them stood a baptismal font, four feet high, composed entirely of Niphetoa and Lamarque rosebuds. In this stood a sil ver gilt bowl, containing water brought from the river Jordan by the Hon, Wm. Faxon. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Miller, rector of St. John’s Church, and the Rev. Mr. Cotton, brother-in law of Mrs. Welles. At the appointed hour, 4 o’clock, four ushers led the procession into the presence of the guests. The god mothers came first in single file, all dressed in white muslin gowns, trimmed with roses. They were Mrs. E. S. Clarke, of Boston, Mrs. Cotton and Mrs. W. R. Mowe, all aunts of the baby. Then followed Xhebonne with the infant, and the godfathers, John Welles, E. S. Clarke, and the Rev. Mr. Cotton. The parents and grandparents came last. The baby wore a dress made by Worth, of Paris. It was of sheer lawn, over white silk, most elaborately trim med with Mechlin lace and lilies of-the valley. On one shoulder of the dress was a rose-bud made of dia monds with leaves of emeralds, and on ihe other shoulder a golden buttercup, set with diamonds. A pretty feature of the service was the music, which was played in an under tone during the service, all of the com pany joining in singing the doxology be fore the benediction. After the baptism the two dining rooms were opened and Ilabenstein served a superb collation, at which ‘caudle’ made from a rare Eng lish receipt was supplied. The child received the name of Alice.’ The gifts were numerous, and among them were a diamond bangle, several diamond and jeweled rings, coral and gold beads, laces and embroideries, a cradle of flowers and numerous baskets of exotics. The entire house wa3 thrown open during the afternoon and evening, and rare flowers were placed in every available nook. Each guest was presented as a souvenir with a box of bonbons, on the cover of which was a photograph of the happy child about whom all this festal array was centered.” A Surprlsiag Historian. The following extracts from an article in the Capitol on Badeau’s alleged his tory, reflect, says General Boynton, the opinion of many army men here: "To readers of Charles O’Malley, who have lingered with delight over the glow ing pages where the excitement of war is portrayed in the high field of ideal creation, the book by General Badeau will be particularly welcomed. Linked to history by the fondness of a few iden tical dates, entwined with the names of great men by the rapture of its adulation, endeared to two hundred and six admirers of General Grant by the ex plosive qualities of its gush, this volume of war romance cannot fail to take. Badeau will not find a single author of record or reliable hearsay to justify his statements of the relative numbers of the two opposing armies, and the only smart thing in the book is the fallacious deduc tions from things that are made to appear as facts from a lack of explanation. As an instance, the reader is led to suppose that Lee surrendered 30,000 men or more at Appomattox. The fact is that 8,000 muskets were in line, and the rest were teamsters and such employes, with thousands of men on the muster rolls who were not at Appomatox. The surrender was made by rolls, and the stragglers who escaped and went to Johnston's army were not assigned to duty there because of that fact. All the whisky and administration corruption that has smirched Grant’s fame will not do him as much harm as this romantic rigmarole of falsehood and ignorance. Where the history ends and romance be gins it is impossible to tell. "General Badeau says that Stonewall Jackson fought Siegel, when, in fact, the doughty Dutch hero met Breckenridge, and was not in the vicinity of the alleged battle until long after Stonewall’sdeath.” Born to Good Luck. —An interesting incident occurred on board the steamer Germanic during the passage from Liv erpool to New York. One of the cabin passengers, among whom were William 11. Vanderbilt, J. K. Vanderbilt and Capt. J. II Vanderbilt, uncle of the former, tells an interesting story of a poor, friendless woman in the steerage who gave birth to a child when the ship was three days out, and who was made happy and comfortable by the kindness and generosity of Mr. William 11. Van derbilt and others. A purse of S3OO was presented her, and a letter was given by Mr. Vanderbilt, calling upon the New York Hospital managers to see that the poor woman received, at his expense; the best of care. The mother, Mrs Margaret Phillips, is a Welsh woman, and was on her way alone to join her husband in this country. She was over joyed at the sympathies enlisted in her behalf, and was particularly delighted when the Itev. Dr. Satterlee christened her baby "Mary Germanic Vanderbilt Phillips,” after the steamer and her gen erous benefactor. Captain Vanderbilt became godfather to the child and Mrs. George Evans godmother. During last week the births and deaths in the city of New York numbered 422 and the deaths 600. This discrepancy, says the Tribune, is rather greater than the average, but there is always a mark ed difference between the two figures. The metropolis, like all large cities, is an immense consumer of human life, and would soon become depopulated if it did not constantly draw upon the rural districts for a supply of fresh blood. The deaths in a year exceed the births by about 10,000. Looked at in one light the city is an insatiable devourer of vital forces and demands from the country 10,000 human beings every year to appease its appetite. Its victims are sacrificed in a thousand ways, by overwork in the strife for bread, by overworry in the mad struggle for gain, by poisoned air, unwholesome food, vile drinks and adulterated drugs, and perhaps most of all by the great friction, tension and competition of city life, wearing out the human machine too rapidly and causing it to break down prematurely. Civilization has yet to solve the problem of making the city as healthy as the country. British Gold. English capital is coming into this country seeking in vestment in ways that may not ultimate ly benefit itself or this country. To this cause is largely due the recent unprece dented rise in certain railroad securities and the consolidations. By-and-by there will come a reaction. England is money logged. London banks are choked with money waiting for investment. Yet the commerce, the manufacture, the agriculture and the mines of Eng land are all past their prime and on their decline. Money flows there because London is still the bank and clearing-house of the world. But the lack of profitable investment at home leads English capital to take risks in this country, aod to pay prices that caution does not justify. It is English capitalists that are fighting the Southern extensions and connections of the Baltimore sys tem of roads, and zeal gets the better of their judgment, —Baltimore Gazette. The Wilmington Star suggests the celebration of the three hundredth an niversary of the settlement of Roanoke Island, N. G., the oldest English settle ment on the continent. This event occurs in June, 1884, the settlement of the island having been made in June, 1584. North Carolina is great on cele brations, and should its people determine to go into the one suggested, there is no doubt it would prove a success, A Canal Boom. The movement of grain down the Mis sissippi river in barges ha3 again given prominence to the canal as an actual and possible highway of transportation. Some years ago it was supposed that the great trunk Hues of railway had entirely superseded the canals, and that the best of them had no future except to be filled up as useless ditches. This has already been done in the case of the Erie and Pittsburg canal, which at one time united the waters of Lake Erie and the Ohio river, and formed a most important link in the line of communication between New York and the West and the Southwest. It wa3 predicted that the great New York and Erie canal would eventually share the fate of this Pennsylvania tributary. The success of the barge system of transportation on the Mississippi river has wrought such a revolution in public opinion on this sub ject that some of the Western cities, which are pre-eminently railroad cen tres, are becoming seriously alarmed about their trade. Chicago, with char acteristic energy, was the first city to start a project for turning the barges from their southward course. The Illinois Legislature was induced to pass a bill giving the Illinois canal, which extends from Chicago to La Salle, to the United States Government on the condition that it would be completed to the Mississippi river. Just now, how ever, the general government has no particular use for a canal, and it could scarcely have been expected that the gift would be accepted when the bill was passed. The discussion of the sub ject, however, paved the way for the calling of a convention of represents tives of the commercial interests of the Northwestern States at Davenport, lowa, for the purpose of putting the de mand upon the bounty of the United States Government into a more effective shape. In point of fact Chicago does not care to have the Illinois river im proved from La Salle to its mouth, be cause it flows into the Mississippi two hundred miles below the parallel of Chicago, and very close to the rival city of St. Louis. A short cut from Henne pin (near La Salle) across to the Missis sippi river, at Rock Island, is what Chicago wants, and the Davenport Con vention accordingly memorialized Con gress to assist in making the canal, in connection with other internal improve ments, which were thrown in to satisfy the trans-Mississippi delegates. The distance from Hennepin to Rock Island, on the Mississippi river, by an air line, is about 70 miles. The distance from Hen nepin to Chicago by the canal route is about 100 miles. The canal between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river would consequently be 170 miles in length, 96 miles of which are already com pleted. The barge movement, the agita tion of the canal question in the West, and especially the widening and deepening of the Welland canal in Canada, have created more or less apprehension in New York lest a portion of the traffic which now moves through the Erie canal should lie turned from its accustomed channel. The Legislature has had va rious bills under consideration looking to the improvement of the canil, and a bill abolishing al l tolls came very near passing the Senate. A bill is now pend ing which contemplates the enlargement of the locks so as to make them 236 feet in length and 26 feet wide. The present dimen sions of the locks are 100 feet by 18 feet. The bill also contemplates the deepening of the canal by digging out one foot of earth from the bottom and raising the bank two feet higher, thus securing an additional depth of three feet. The es timated cost of the proposed improve ment is five and a half millions of dol lars It is quite evident that New York city still regards the Erie canal as a most important factor in her commercial pro gress. Cotton Transportation Deflection To wards Lower Lines ol' Latitude. New York Commercial Bulletin. The New Orleans Picayune is arguing to show that the tendency of the cotton movement towards the North Atlantic ports has about reached its culmination, and that causes are now actively at work to produce such a reaction as will con tine transportation and the handling of the staple to the cotton belt proper. The statistics which the writer briDgs to bear on the subject certainly go far to justify his deductions. The opening up of the longitudinal railway system extending down from the West into Arkansas and Texas is shown to have greatly stimu lated the overland movement out of the cotton belt; last year the figures reaching 1,134,000 bales, or nearly 20 per cent, of the total production. Of this, 600,000 bales crossed the Mississippi at Hannibal and passed through St. Louis, and 161,- 000 were carried North from Cairo by the land lines of transportation. Out of that crop barely 40 per cent, was sent to the Gulf ports. This season, however, there has been a marked change. Ac cording to the Picayune-. ‘‘The crop has been augmented over It per cent., yet the quantity of cotton carried over land has decreased nearly 100.000 bales from the figures of last year to corresponding date. The principal decrease in this direction has been at St. Louis, where there has been 99,000 bales less cotton handled than last year. 'I he shipments through Louisville have also fallen off 59,000 bales. On the other hand, there has been an augmentation in the shipments via Hannibal, and the Cincinnati Southern has greatly increased the business of the Ohio metropolis. As a consequence of this relative decrease in the Northern-bound cotton busi ness of the railways, the Gulf ports have en larged their receipts in exact proportion to the augmentation of the crop, and on this basis ought to handle for the current season say 2,600,000 bales, against 2,3:5,100 during 1879-80.” On the Atlantic seaboard it is also shown that the tendency is towards lower lines of latitude that is to say, the five ports north of the Potomac liav ing this season received direct from the points of production ODly 441,700 bales, against 452,517 in 1879 80—a falling off of 40,051 bales. On the other hand, the Atlantic ports south of the Potomac have.handled 2.434,643 bales—an en largement of 25 per cent, over the figures of last season. Norfolk has gained 24 per cent., Charleston 37, Wilmington 50 and Savannah 16 per cent. In view of these figures, our coternporary concludes it is satisfied that "this deflection of the cotton trade toward lower lines of lati tude will not be temporary, but it is the beginning of a reaction which will turn the movement back into its normal channels. The necessities which im pelled the railways to haul cotton against the trade draft at starvation rates no longer exist, and with the new business to be opened up by the extension of the lines to the Pacific coast and across the Ilio Grande, the natural laws of com merce will be allowed to direct the sta pie to the best neighboring seaboard market.” An Amusing Mistake. A Wash ington dispatch says: “A few days ago Senator Conger, of Michigan, called at the house of Mr. Blaine after business hours, expecting to find him at home. Mr. Blaine, however, had been detained at the State Department. Mr. Conger requested that the telephone be used to ascertain when the Secretary would get home. The servant, who misunderstood Mr. Conger when he gave his name, went to the telephone, signaled the State Department, and gravely informed Mr. Blaine that Mr. Conkling was at Ins house, very desirous to see him, and would like to know when he would be home. Mr. Blaine was thunderstruck. He knit his brows, ran his hands through the remnants of his hair, and requested that the name of the gentle man who wanted to see him should be repeated. "Conkling,” came back again through the telephone. "Conkling,” repeated the Secretary, soito voce, "what can he mean?” and still doubting, the suggestion was made that there must be some mistake. Mr. Conger was then appealed to to know if he had not said his name was ConkliDg, and he then pronounced it intelligibly enough to be understood by the able domestic, who sent it this time all right through the telephone, and Mr. Blaine was relieved of any fears he had as to the presence of his arch enemy in his household.”

A New York young woman twice at tempted to drown herself; next she tried to kill herself by biting a vein; then she took Paris green; at another time she swallowed laudanum; later 6he tried to throw herself from a car window; after this, setting fire to her hair, she tried to burn hei self to death; then she made several other unsuccessful attempts, after which she was arrested while on the way to the river to throw herself in. A California millionaire, who a dozen years ago was driving a street car in San Francisco, has just rented a cottage at Newport for the season, paying rental of $4,500. A PLOT REVEALED. Preparations lor au Immense Ex press Robbery lu Chicago. Startling discoveries were made by the police of Chicago Sunday morning in consequence of the arrest of a well known thief, named Sam Hanna. Among other things learned were par ticulars of an attempt to waylay and rob the United States Express’ Company's messenger on the Dubuque route, whose safe on every trip contains all the way from fifty thousand to half a mil lion dollars. It seems that the express company has been missing packages of ali kinds from the delivery wagons. These robberies have been going on for several weeks, and the losses now amount to several thousand dollars. Through Hanna’s arrest Sun day morning it, was learned that the driver was in the habit of posting Han na as to the route, and when the latter was seen on the street corner the driver would throw him packages. He dis closed the secret to a chum, with whom he subsequently had a falling out. Asa means of revenge the chum gave the po lice pointers. The driver was arrested, and gave the plans of the contemplated messenger robbery, which was to have taken place in a dark neighborhood, near the Clinton street depot, from which these trains now leave. Sitting Bull’s Story of tho Custer Massacre. Sitting Bull, the desperate Indian lead er, has recently told the story of the Cus ter massacre to Major Crozier. He began his account of the engagement by saying that on the morning of the battle, at sunrise, two young men who had been out a short way on the prairie, came to me and told me that from the top of a high butte they had seen the troops ad vancing in two divisions. I then had all the horses driven into the camp and corraled between the lodges. About noou the troops came up, and at once rushed upon the camp. They charged in two separate divisions, one at the up per end, whilst the other division charged about the middle of the camp. The latter division struck the camp ?h the centre of the 250 lodges of the Uncapapa Sioux, and close to the door of my own lodge. At the time that the troops charged I was mak ing medicine for the Great Spirit to help us and fight upon our side, and as I heard the noise and knew what it was, I came out. Wncn I had got to the out side of my lodge I noticed that this di vision had stopped suddenly close to the outer side of the Uncapapa camp, and then they sounded a bugle and the troops fired into the camp. (Here Sitting Bull made a peculiar noise with his mouth and clapped his hands together to imi tate the firing of soldiers.) lat once set my wife upon my best horse, put my war-bonnet on her head, and told her to run away with the rest of the wo men. She did so, but in her hurry forgot to take the baby (a girl); after she had gone a little way she thought of the child and came back for it. I gave the child to her and she went off again. I now put a flag upon a lodge pole, and lifting it as high as I could, I shouted out as loud as I was able to my own men: Tam Sitting Bull; follow me.’ I then rushed at the head of them up to the place where I thought Custer was, and just as we got close up to the troops they fired again. (Here Bull again imitated for some length of time the firing of the troops.) When I saw that the soldiers fired from their saddles and did but little damage to us, I ordered all my men to rush through their ranks and break them, which they did, but failed to break the ranks, although we suffered as little damage as before. I then shouted to them to try again, and, putting myself at the head of my men, we went at them again. This time, al though the soldiers were keeping up a rapid firing (from their horses), we knocked away a whole corner and killed a great many, though I had only one man killed. After this we charged the same way several times, and kept driv ing them back for about half a mile, killing them very fast. After forcing them back, there only remained five soldiers of this division and the inter preter alive. I told my men to let them live. Then the interpreter, the man that the Indians called ‘The White,’ shouted out in Sioux, and said: “Cus ter is not in this division. He is in the otner.’ I then ordered all my men to come on and attack the other division. They did so, and followed me. The soldiers of this division fired upon us as soon as we got within range, but did us little harm. When we had got quite close, and we were just going to charge them, a great storm broke right over us; the lightning was fearful, and struck a lot of the soldiers and horses, killing them instantly. I then called out to my men to charge the troops, and shouted out: ‘The Great Spirit is on our side! Look how he is striking the soldiers down!’ My men saw this, and they all rushed upon the troops, who were mixed up a good deal. About forty of the soldiers had been dismounted by the lightning killing and frightening their horses, and these men were soon trampled to death. It was just at this time we charged them, and we easily knocked them off their horses and then killed them with our ‘coup sticks.’ In this way we killed all this division, with the exception of a few who tried to get away but were killed by the Sioux before they could get far. All through the battle the soldiers fired very wild, and only killed twenty-five Sioux. I did not recognize General Custer in the figlut. but only thought I did, but I would not be certain about it. I believe Custer was killed in the first attack, as we found his body, or what all the Indians thought’ was Custer’s body, about the place that it was’ made. I do not think there is any truth in the report that he shot him self. I saw two soldiers shoot them selves. The Sioux were following them, and in a few moments would have caught them, but they shot themselves with their pistols in the head. The body which ali the Indians said was Custer’s had its hair cut short. There were seven hun dred and nine Americans killed. We counted them, putting a stick upon each body, and then taking the sticks up again and counting them. We counted seven hundred and seven carbines. Two might have fallen into the creek.” When Bull had completed the forego ing account of the battle, he turned to Major Crozier and said: “There, I have fought the battle all over again to you, and this I have never done since the time I fought it out in earnest with General Custer.” The Mormon questiou is reviving again in certain quarters. We are glad, says au exchamre, that the Mormon “mission aries” find no rest for the soles of their feet in Germany, although it is good rid dance to have them outside of the United States. News has been received from Berlin that every Mormon propagandist who has been trying to make proselytes will be expelled from the German Em pire. As this method of procedure could not be followed in this country, the Methodist suggests the method of political colonization. It says: “We could, if we had the courage and the purpose, check Morinonism at its central seat by the use of the simple and perfectly natural system of colonization. In that way, in point of fact, Kansas and Nebraska were made free States. The Christian Church has the means,and can lay its hands on the necessary agents. The work requires no high order of tal ent, no great statesmanship. The thing to do is to put Christian (or Gentile) vo ters into Utah and the threatened adja cent Territories in such numbers as to just simply outvote the Mormons. We do not need to go abroad for the bulk of these voters; they can be found at home. Ten millions of dollars, wisely expend ed, would probably settle the Mormon question.” Fratricide in Massachusetts. Chas. D. Kidder, thirty five years old, a well known resident of Springfield, Mass., and traveling salesman for a Bos ton dry goods house, was murdered at 10 o’clock Tuetday night by his half brother, Dwight,* aged seventeen. Dwight became very angry two or three days ago because Charles said it was gross carelessness of him to let their sick father go out on the street, and the brothers had since had words about it. Tuesday night Dwight called at Charles’ house, and asked him if he was ready to take back his words. Charles told him to go home, and tried to push him from the door, when the boy drew a pistol and shot Charles dead through the heart. The lad then ran away, but will probably be caught. The Way to Increase the Wealth of the South. Neiv Orleans Times. The wealth of the South is increas ing. It is not increasing, however, as rapidly as the wealth of the North. There was a time when of the two sec tions the South was the richer. There is no good reason why she should not contain the most wealth now. Her ad vantages for the accumulation of wealth are greater. Her climate is better and her soil is equally fertile. Why is it then that the North has been so much more successful in the accumula tion of wealth The chief rea son is that the North has not only enjoyed the profit of her own pro ductions, but has, also, made a great profit on the productions of the South. For example, it is stated that in 1860 Mississippi produced one million bales of cotton which brought her thirty-five millions of dollars. This was the entire income of the State. In the same year Massachusetts manufactured three hun dred thousand bales of cotton into cot ton cloth which she sold for thirty-six and a half millions of dollars. The manufacture of cotton goods was only one of the industries of Massachusetts, but it brought her more money than the entire product of the single industry of Mississippi. It is probable that a very large part of the profit of the cotton crop of Mississippi went into the pockets of Northern manu facturers for merchandise of one kind and another consumed by the people of Mississippi. The same condi tion of affairs which existed in 1860 ex ists, to a very considerable extent, to day, and will continue to exist until the South manufactures the raw material which she produces. Why should not the South manufacture not only the cot ton and woolen goods which she needs, but, also, agricultural implements and machinery of various kinds which she uses on her plantations? She has coal, iron and timber, and there is no reason why she should not supply her own wants. If cotton can be transported to Connecticut and Massachusetts, manu factured there and brought back here at a profit, there is no reason why it cannot be manufactured here where it is produced profitably. As long as the North is allowed to make the profit out of the raw materials of the South, which the South ought to make herself, the North will be the richer sec tion. There is one industry of which the South was shrewd enough to obtain control. It is the manufacture of oil cake and oil from cotton seed. A little more than a dozen years ago cotton seed was regarded as worthless except for planting. It was discovered that two very valuable articles of commerce could be made out of it. To day the manufactured products of cot ton seed enrich the South millions of dollars annually. Of the productions of Texas, cotton seed oil and oil cake rank third in value. Cotton ranks first and cattle second. The number of cotton seed oil factories is increasing rap dly. That which was thought to be of no value a few years ago will, in all proba bility, by the time the next census is taken, add more than anything else to the wealth of the cotton States except cotton itself. It is remarkable that the enterprising New Eaglanders did not get control of the cotton seed oil industry. The question arises why cannot we manufacture our cotton into cotton cloth as well as we can manufacture cotton seed into oil and oil cake? We can and ought. The cotton States, instead of furnishing the raw material to the cotton factories of Europe and New England, ought to supply the markets of the world with cotton goods. Cotton ought to be manufactured where it is produced, and the millions of dollars which are annually made by the manufacture of cotton goods ought to be distributed in the cotton States. When that time comes and we are confident it will come, the cotton States will surpass the New England States in wealth. John Chinaman. While in Hong Kong, writes a corres pondent, I accepted the invitation of Consul Mosby to visit the steamship Gaelic and see how Chinamen were shipped to the United States. There were 458 men aud one woman. The Chinamen were all on deck with a rope stretched around them. At a desk near by were three offlcers.the doctor, the har bor-master, and the United States Con sul. These Chinamen had bought their tickets, but, unless they could pass the doctor’s inspection, the harbor master would not stamp their ticket, and if the harbor master would not stamp then ticket, the United States Consul would not stamp their ticket, and if the Consul did not stamp their ticket, the Mail Company would not take it. These Chinamen had their clothes unbuttoned and laid off down to their waists. The doctor ex amined every one honestly and faith fully, and did not object to a single one. Every one was in a good state of health. On the doctor’s certificate the harbor master stamps the ticket, and on his cer tificate the American Consul also stamps the ticket, and on his stamp the Captain takes it. Before a woman can be shipped, she has to go down to the To Wah Hos pital and have stamped on her arm a certificate that she was a proper person to come to America. All the precautions that laws have fixed, as far as the examinations of China men, are honestly carried out under the present administration, or were on that trip. I was anxious to see some evidence of a careless manner of doing it. I must say they carefully did it. While these Chinamen were all in the string I came in and looked at them. One of them said: Hallo, Mister, I sabbe your bludder. He marry up in Slacla mento.” I said, “John what do you know?” He said, “I live in Slaclamento eight year; 1 make $3,000; Icomehome; I catcbee two wives; I lose all; now I go back again.” I said, “Kearney will catch you and hang you.” He said, “Oh, no; me go and do Kearney’s wash ing.” Most of them were Chinese who were returning to the United States, The Administration Laboring for the Disgrace of Its Own House hold. Nashville American. The administration cackles every time it finds anew rascal who has had some of the star ring money, as if it were re joiced that there was a star ring for it to ferret out. Really we can see no occa sion in these exposures for anything but tears of mortification from the adminis tration, such as a father would shed on finding his child guilty of evil practices. An honest man would certainly go to the bottom, even for his child’s sake; but he would not be found cackling about it, as if one should say; See how honest I am, how zealous in pursuit of villainy. At best the admin istration is but laboring for the disgrace of its own household. This is right, but we do not see and cannot approve un seemly exultation. Poor Dorsey was close political akin to the President, In fact, they were thick as thieves until the administration saw an opportunity to make reputation out of a friend in distress. It would have pleased us to have seen Mr. Garfield bear the knife and stab like Brutus, but also we should have been pleased to see some natural tears shed over the friend by the man who slew the guilty part of him. We would have liked to have seen the President in tears at the bedside of poor Dorsey. Was be not wounded in your service, James It is all inexpressibly sad. and not very creditable to the ad ministration, that it thus seems even to rejoice that its own* family thus furnish it means for the demonstration of its zeal in pursuit of thieves. A Fated Family.— A special from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the New Or leans Times says: “Some time since John Reed, a man killer of Washington county, was shot and killed by Deputy Sheriff Bahn Sorrell while resisting ar rest. Deceased had killed three men. Yesterday at Fayetteville, county seat of Washington, Geo. F. Reed, brother of the deceased, rode into town armed to the teeth, and claimed he could whip the best man in the State, and proposed to run the town to suit himself. The City Mar hal, Will F. Stieman, armed himself and attempted to arrest him. A desperate light ensued, during which Stieman killed Reed. Great excitement prevails, and fears are felt that more blood will be shed.”

A good looking old German with long hair sat down, or rather up, in the bar ber’s chair, and was asked whether he would have his hair shingled. He re plied: “Mein Kottr, no! I vant some hair koot off. Vy woot you put zum shingles oo it pecause?” The Brand of Falsehood Burned In. From Mr. Davie’ "Rise and Fall of the Southern Confederacy." Gen. Sherman, in his “Memoirs” (Vol. 11., page 349), referring to a con versation between himself and Gen. Johnston at their first meeting, writes: "I told him I could not believe that he or Gen. Lee, or the officers of the Con federate army, could possibly be privy to acts of assassination, but I would not say as much for Jeff. Davis, George Saunders and men of his stripe.” On this I have but two remarks to make: First, that I think there were few officers in the Confederate army who would have permitted such a slanderous imputation to be made by a public enemy against the Chief Executive of their gov ernment. Second, that I could not value the good opinion of the man who, in re gard to the burning of Columbia, made a false charge against General Wade Hampton, and, having left it to circu late freely for ten years, then in his published memoirs makes this disgrace ful admission: “In my official report of this confla gration I distinctly charged it to Gen. Wade Hampton, and confess I did so pointedly, to shake the faith of his peo ple in him,” etc. A letter in the Boston Olobe tells about a Colorado doctor whose idea was that insane persons should be treated just as if they were sane. To demonstrate the correctness of his theory he and his wife started a private asylum at a rural resort not far from Denver. They had three patients to experiment with, one a young girl inclined to melancholia, and another a big negro inclined to all sorts of eccen tricities. The patients were allowed to wander around the institution at will, and within a few days rather upset the doctor’s theory. The girl followed the bent of her inclinations by drowning herself, and the negro followed his by beating the doctor and his wife half to death. The surviving patient was re moved, and while the doctor was await ing another chance to test his theory, he went crazy himself. He evidently’ had not far to go. An investigation of the business meth ods of the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Board of Education has been progressing for some time, growing out of allegations that a deficiency exists in their cash. The ap parent deficit was explained by the board as only an apparent one, and due to heavy purchases of books and school supplies, the credits for which are not yet available. Tuesday it was found that the safe of the board, which had not been opened by the employes for two days, had been rifled of large' quan tities of vouchers, account books and other papers, apparently of no value to any one but the board. A package was received in the New York postoftice Saturday from London, England, which contained four leases, handsomely engrossed on large sheets of parchment. They were sent to this country for the signature of the party to whom they were addressed, and were intended to lie returned to England. The parchment documents, however, were completely destroyed by the ravages of rats on shipboard. The cost of engross ing the documents was S7O, and a claim for that amount has been made upon the English Government. Jvuif, many.

For the information of the truck farmers in this section and in Florida, who are ship ping largely of early vegetables to the North, we give the following copy of a dis patch received here yesterday afternoon by Colonel H. 8. Haines, General Manager of the Savannah, Florida and Western Rail way, from C. D. Owens, Esq., General Freight Agent of the Company at New York. The dispatch Is as follows: “New York, June 9th. “H. S. Haines, General Manager: About three hundred packages of vegetables by the Gate City, and about five hundred by the City of Macon were rejected by the con signees. Market glutted. Bjst cucumbers selling from 50c. to 75c. per crate. “C. D. Owens.”

Ad Undesirable Present. Yesterday afternoon a few minutes before j the “knocking off” hour at the Central Railroad shops, the express wagon was driven up, and a large box, addressed to one of the employes, was delivered. The box was neatly made, and had appearance as though it contained something valuable. The party to whom it was consigned pro ceeded to open it, curious to ascertain its contents. As he removed the top, an alli gator three feet long sprang from the box, cansiDg quite a stampede among the men who had gathered around. On regain ing his liberty the ’gator jumped at one of the spectators and seized him by the pants and held on until a large iron bar was Inserted between his jaws. He was then secured. The party receiving the animal, not considering it a very desirable present, turned it over to Mr. Cbas. Blase, 121 Broughton street, who proposes training it. A Horse Attacked In tbe Street by a Savage Bull Dos. Yesterday morning about 8 o’clock a sin gular scene was witnessed on the Central Railroad bridge over the canal. A young man, mounted on a fine, spirited nag, was riding across tbe bridge, when he encoun tered a loafing negro, who was accompanied by a large, fierce bull dog. As be passed by the dog suddenly sprang up at the horse and seized him by the nose. His rider stuck spurs to the af frighted animal, which reared and plunged wildly, finally managing to shake the brute off, not, however, before his no6e had been severely bitten. The wound bled profusely, but no serious consequences are antici pated. After this occurrence the negro and his dog disappeared. Search was made for the fellow with the view of having him ar rested and subjected to prosecution.

Tbe Savannah and Philadelphia Line. The steamship Juniata, which has been put in complete order, will resume her posi tion on the Savannah and Philadelphia line, leaving the latter city on the 18th Inst., and will hereafter run regularly. The City of Savannah, which has been covering this line for sr me months past, will proceed to New York, where she will relieve the other steamships of the Ocean Steamship Compa ny of Savannah, as they are withdrawn for their summer overhauling. The Juniata has been overhauled in hull and machinery, but has not yet been entire ly refitted in her cabins. Everything will, however, be completed by tbe time she en ters the route again, and tbe old favorite will then be a comparatively new steam ship The Excursion this Afternoon. The excursion of the Young Men’s Chnrch Guild to Tybee this afternoon will, from all Indications, prove a very pleasant and successful affair. The committee have engaged a brass and string band, and have attended to all other matters calculated to ensure tbe pleasure and comfort of those who participate. The enjoyment which characterized the excursion of the Guild last year Is well remembered, and Its recol lection will induce many to go this after noon. There will be the certainty of a good time for all who go. The Entertainment at Masonic Temple. The entertainment last evening at the Masonic Temple, by the Youths’ Historical Society, being the flrsl of their series of fortnightly performances during the summer, free to the public, was very large ly attended. The hall was comfortably llled, and, notwithstanding the sultry night, die performance was very highly enjoyed.

We have received from Mr. E. F. Bryan, Superintendent of the Savannah Cotton Exchange, the following copy of the re port of the Committee on Information and Statistics for the month of May, condensed from the replies of correspondents from sections allotted to it by the National Cot ton Exchange: GEORGIA —ONE HUNDRED AND NINE REPLIES FROM FIFTY TWO COUNTIES. About 5 per cent, more land has been planted in cotton this year than last. The weather during the winter and early spriDg was wet and cold and exceedingly unfavor able for preparing the land; after the spring wss fairly opened it became suddenly warm and dry. The stands In the early planting are unexceptlonally good, but owing to a long spell of six weeks of dry weather, much of the late planting is not yet out of the ground. The early planting is ten days to two weeks later than last year, and the late planting about thirty days. The condition of the early planting is good, the land is clear of grass and well cultivated and the plant is growing off fine ly. Labor is about the same In numbers and efficiency, except where it has been drawn off by new railroad enterprises. The increase in use of fertilizers is estimated at 15 per cent. FLORIDA —TWENTY FIVE REPLIES FROM FIF TEEN COUNTIES. The amount of land planted in cotton Is about the same as last year. The spring was late In opening, but since the crop was pitched the weather has been favorable. The stands are good, though two weeks later than last year. The condition of the plant is good also, and It is progressing fa vorably. But little fertilizers ever used In this State. In the sea island section it is estimated that 5 per cent, more land has been planted this year, and although tbe plant is fully two weeks behind, the condition is good, and It is doing remarkably welE Georgian* Buried at Gettysburg. Mr. We. H. Gelbach, who has a farm just outside of Gettysburg, between Hancock’s and Pettigrew’s positions in the great fight, furnishes the following information to the Baltimore Gazette, which will be of interest to many of the readers of the Morning News: “Oa Saturday Mr. Gelbach, while exca vating on his farm, discovered a trench con taining the remains of a number of Confed erate soldiers. It was about this vicinity that Thomas’ brigade, of Georgia, was located. No Union soldiers reached that part of the ground, which confirms Mr. Gelbach in the belief that they were mem bers of the above named Confederate com mand. By a piece of decorated coat sleeve found on one of the arm bones it was ascer tained that the wearer bad been a Lieuten ant. Tbe bodies bad been so heaped in tbe trench that no one skeleton could be ex humed entire, although all of the principal bones were preserved. The remains of twenty soldiers were taken out, though more remain in the trench. Those taken from tbe trench have been carefully boxed up and temporarily interred. Mr. Gelbach has seen Mr. McHenry Howard, of this city, In reference to bringing tbe matter before the Society of the Army and Navy of the Confederate States In Maryland to arrange for a proper interment of the remains, and the Georgia society will also probably be communicated with in regard to the dis covery.” Tbe Savannah OH Mill* Improve ment*. We understand that the Savannah Oil Works propose enlarging their building across the river during the summer months, and will add new machinery in order to In crease the working capacity of the mill. This mill at first was only an experiment in this city, but it has proven so successful that the capital stock has been Increased, and the growing business of the establishment has rendered additions necessary. Several other Southern cities of less size than Savan nah have similar establishments, which have proven profitable investments. There is no reason why Savaßnah should not support several,as the material for running them can be obtained at our doors, saving the expense of transportation from a distance, as is ne cessary in some other localities. We are pleased to know that tbe enterprise has proven so successful and trust that it will encourage oar capita lists to give more atten tion to manufacturing interests. Tbe Stock Market. The market for all classes of securities is very sluggish and inactive at present, owing to the continued stringency of money matters. It is thought, however, that there will be more activity in a week or so, as by that time the banks will be satisfied as to the strength of tbe different securities, and will be better able to estimate the necessary margins. There was very little done yes terday, and quotations remain unchanged. Devlin Sc Cos., Clothing to Order, Samples shown and measures taken at LaFarT. my2s-tf THE PLANETS. A Quartette of Brilliants—lnterest ing to Star Gazers. Mercury is evening star and wins the place of honor, as he Is the only planet visible after sunset during the month, and Is one of the most favorable positions for observation that occurs during the year. On the 19th he reaches his greatest eastern elongation, or most distant point from the sun, and for ten days before and after that time, if the atmosphere is clear and the sky cloudless, he may be easily found. Observ ers should note carefully the point of sun set, for Mercury sets not far from one de gree south of it. Three-quarters of an hour after sunset is the best time to look, for the long twilight will prevent his being seen much earlier. He will then be about twelve degrees above the horizon, shining with an intense white light sometimes tinged with yellow, and with a brilliancy almost un equalled by any other star. Uranus is evening star, but too far away to be visible to the naked eye. Venus Is morning star, and plays a bril liant role throughout tbe month, the fairest and brightest of the grand planetary quar tette that graces the morning dawn and heralds the coming of the great luminary. Jupiter is morning star and ranks second in brightness in the grand planetary exhibi tion that makes Illustrious the annals of June, 1881. He is approaching the earth, and before the end of the month will shine In increased size and brightness. On the 19th, four hours before his conjunction with Venus, he passes very near Neptune, being only forty-four minutes of a degree north. It is rare for four planets to be so near together. On the first of the month they all rise within twenty-four minutes. Venus appears first, followed In order by Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune, the latest comer being invisible. Saturn is morning star and the space is gradually widening that separates him from his more brilliant brother Jupiter. Mars is morning star, and will soon be came an object of Interest as his path draws near that of Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune Is morning star, and, though In visible to the naked eye, is worthy of notice from being so near Jupiter, Saturn and Venus on the same day, with only an in terval of six hours between the two conjunc tions, while Jupiter and Venus meet and pass during the interval. The June moon fills on the 12th, and gives us the rare treat of a total lunar eclipse. No celestial phenomena Is easier to understand. The earth passes between the sun and the moon and obscures his light. On the morning of the 12th the condi tions are favorable for a grand exhibition of the darkening power of the earth’s shadow. The moon Is full, she is at her node, she is In perigee, or at her nearest point to the earth, and she will pass centrally through the earth’s shadow. The eclipse begins, that Is the dark shadow enters upon the moon, at Oh. 26m., or 26m. after midnight. The total phase commences at lh. 29m., and ends at 2h. 51m. The eclipse ends at 3b. 52m. On the 21st the moon is in con junction with Mars and Saturn. On the morning of the 22d the heavens will present a superb picture, made up of the waning moon, the bright planets, Venus and Jupi ter. Between five o’clock on the morning of the 2lst and two o’clock in the afternoon of the 22d the moon is in conjunction with five planets, Mare, Baturn, Neptune, Jupiter and Venus. It will readily be seen that J une ts full of promise for star gazers. The planets that cluster around the setting snn, and more re cently hovered closely around the rising sun, are now receding from him and forming combinations of exquisite beauty. The lovely summer morning sky beams with the rapid movements of these shining wander ers. Saturn and Jupiter are bidding fare well to each other for twenty years, as the distance on tbe celestial track widens be tween them. Venus passes them both In her rapid course, their varied movements causing two brilliant conjunctions. The three planets are drawing near to Mars, and before the month closes, the planetary quartette will rise in the small hours that precede the dawn, and the observer who would see the commencement of the show must be at his post by 1 o’clock.

Knott ("Kent”) the talented traveling correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal, In his letter of the 2d Inst., thus pleasantly refers to. the “attractions which Savannah has for a stranger on busi ness or pleasure bent:” “The city of Bavannah has much to at tract and interest a stranger. I have writ ten of Its importance as a commercial centre and of Its export trade, and you will get the idea perhaps that it Is very noisy and bust ling and very disagreeable these early sum mer days, but this Is very far from the truth. Indeed, It would be difficult to name a more pleasant city than is Bavannah during the month of June. It puzzles you at first to find the city, it seems so lost among Its trees and public squares. General Ogle thorpe was wiser In his day and generation than most of those who laid out the cities of the future. The streets are straight, crossing each other at right angles, and at every other Intersection he provided for a large square or-park, until he had thirty six of them, now lying right In the heart of the city. Consequently, Savannah Is just like no other place. These little parks are now surrounded by handsome residences; they are ornamented with the live oak, the water oak, the Lombardy poplar and the magnolia tree. The sidewalks are also well shaded, and the effect Is delightful. The magnolia trees are especially beautiful; they are large, well shaped, and now full of flowers. On the sidewalk I measured one live and one-half feet in circumference, and it must have been fifty feet high. In addi tion to Its shade, Savannah has nearly all the time a breeze, generally from the sea. Just at this time the streets are rather quiet, but when the fall trade opens It puts off its quiet ways and makes enough money In a few months to last It all the twelve. “No one should come to Savannah with out seeing Bonaventure. This was former ly the residence of Commodore Tattnall; it is now a cemetery. The old Commodore was a man of strong peculiarities, and many anecdote-* are told of him. He had invited a number of friends to dine, and just at the time tbe table was set it was discovered tbe mansion was on fire. Little could be done to save it, and it was almost entirely de stroyed. When the excitement was over the Commodore ordered the tabls to be spread on the lawn, as he would not have a dinner party scattered by the burning of his house. “Even the most unimaginative individual must be impressed as he passes down these long avenues of live oaks, with their far spreauing branches draped with moss, forming the most exquisite festoons nature ever makes. These groves are wide and long. It is said these oaks, now over one hundred years old, were planted in the form of the monogram of the Tattnall family. If so, all the letters have been lost in time except the letter T. The oaks are immense, and it 6eems as if you were passing down the aisle of some grand cathedral. It is the poetic supposition that Gothic architecture owes Its origin to the fact that early builders copied their forms and their decorations from the forests in which they dwelt, thus giving us the pointed arches and the groins of the vaulted roof. In Bonaventure this supposition amouuts almost to a demon stration; architecture may imitate but can not surpass the roof formed by the over arching and the Interlined branches of these old oaks; while no artist could ever hope to equal the grace, delicacy and beauty of the moss which hangs from all their branches. The whole effect is impressive, and as the light fades these shapes become as weird and as fantastic as any which have haunted the mind of Gustave Dore as he pondered the story of the Wandering Jew or illus trated the verse of Dante. “Bonaventure Is only one of the attrac tions of Savannah. Eighteen miles down the river is the island of Tybee lying right at the mouth of the river, and having a beau tiful sea beach. It is a great place of resort for those who have to be within hailing dis tance of the city during the summer months. Then there is a delightful drive from the city known as the White Bluff road, leading ten miles to a high white bluff overlooking the river, lined al6o by giant trees that form an arch above it, while the road is as smooth and pleasant as shells can make it, which simply means that of all roads it is the most desirable for pleasure driving. “Savannah feels in every way the benefit of the new ira of prosperity which has dawned for the South. It is pushing Its commerce in every direction, but you are not forced to think here as In so many American cities ‘how new all this is.’ Sa vannah was comparatively an old city at the time of signing the Declaration of Inde pendence. A tablet iu the walls of Christ Church tells you that that church was founded in 1743, and has once been de stroyed by fire and once by a hurricane. The Presbyterian Church, to day one of the very handsomest in the South, was built sixty five or seventy years ago. Here too remain the good old virtues of courtesy, of deference to age, of devotion to woman hood, aDd of a genuine hospitality, none of which are thought to be inconsistent with business ideas of energy, of ambiilon and of a warm devotion to the material progress of the city and the State.” Referring to the recent actioa of the Cen tral Railroad Directors in the matter of dividends, “Kent” says: “It should also be stated that this condi tion of affairs Is due to good railroad man agement as well as to natural conditions. Three years ago the stock of the Georgia Road was selling at 108, that of the Central at 48. Each road was doing all It could to ruin Its rival, with the object of ’securing business,’ but with no gteat success. At that time Gen. E. P. Alexander was placed at tbe head of tbe Georgia Road, and he set about to reach a better understand ing with all interested in the transpor tation business of Georgia. He be lieves in peace rather than tn war, and this policy is now endorsed by all the cities interested, and It has been amply vindicated by subsequent events. Since that time there has been no useless expen diture of force; money has been spent with a purpose. Wadley and Alexander, having in view the same objpet and working for it, accomplished it without much difficulty. This peace policy has resulted not only in great advantage to the stockholders, but also to the improvement of the country along the lines of the roads and to the rapid growth of the cities with which they are identified. This is the work begun by Gen. Alexander while President of the Georgia, and the successful execution of it gives him a hold on the confidence of the State, sur passed by no public man within its border.” HARNETT HOUSE.
