The burglar entered the room in which the ladi were asleep, and took from a bureau diawer the follow u g property, amounting in valuation to over two hundred dollars: Two sets fine jewelry, one pair brace let*. lady's watch chain, ornarae tal pin. with chain attached, and some articles of minor value. After appropriating the articles the burglar left. At about three Mr. Peajsin ws awakened by a call from his mother, and goirg to the dining room,.found th-t the cupboard had been robbed of w hatever articles of food it contained, the burglar treatirg himself to a square meal while in the room. Up to the hour of goirg to press no clue to the burglar had been obtained.” Mr. C. C. Sanderson, of Dead ham. Mass a gentleman of wealth and influence, and well fwwiil pmfog Sens. J. H. ESTILL, PROPRIETOR. known in Southern Georgia, has written a let ter to the Waycross Reporter approving the schi me advocated by that journal, of pooling the vacant lands along the line of the Savan nah. Florida'and Western Railway, and do nating alternate lots in the interest of immi gration. Mr. Sanderson says the only difficulty he sees in the way is that parties have not come up with the lands. As to the kind of im migrants to be induced, he remarks; “It would be an easy matter to get a colony up 1 here in Massachusetts to go and settle in Georgia, and it would be much better to have a people of this kind than to have foreigners, just over from the old countries, as in getting people from the New England States you would be likely to obtain persons of all kinds of trades, which is necessary to the bui ding up of a country. Many people here are cunmencing to talk South rather than West, as it ha many advantages that the Wst has not. The feeling here is fast dying out against the South, and mi st of the people are beeinnlng to think of Southerners as brothers rather than enemies. We have a large surplus of people here, more people than work, many of whom would be glad of an opportunity to accept of such of fers as you propose to make to ac'ual settlers, when you get your p'ans peifected.” Florida Affairs. Two thousand five hundred crates of tema- j toes and twenty thousand pineapples hive been shipped this season from Lake Worth. The Census population of Hamilton county, j Florida, is 6,790, and that of the town of Jasper 311. The Marianna Courier says a negro boy bath ing in the Chippola with other boys, the other day,ventured into deep water and was drowned He could not swim. The Tallahassee Economist say s some of our planters are picking cotton. We hear of two j parties who planted very early and the “hot tom crop” is openii g very fast. They have California beans in Florida three feet long and serpentine in appearance. They also have quellraelons. a species of canteleu ps, two feet long. Mr. John Boatright, who grows the latter, has seen them in Georgia three feet lorg. Florida has a poetess in the person of Mrs. L. 8. Bedford, who has recently published a volume of her poems. The Economist calls it a "beautiful book," and Mr. J. E. Allen says one poem in it entitled “To F. A. A.” is alone worth the price of the book. Our Dowling. Fla. .correspondent writes; "We had a case of sunstroke here yesterday (July 21>—one of the section hands of the Pensacola and Mobile Railroad. Everything was done for him our limited me .ns allowed. He was sent by engineer Johnson's train to Lake City for medical treatment, but is not expectej to live. His name is Henry Corrilla, colored, of Live Oak. This case has considerably frighten* and theco’ored people here.” The same corres pondent has this to siy about the crops: “Crops here have been improved greatly since I wrote last. Corn will cot yield over time fourths of a crop, but cotton will average a good crop all over the county. Many of the farmers are pulling fodder, which is of an in ferior grade. Times are improving with us; everytoJy seems hopeful anil cheerful.” Mar anna Courier: “Dried peaches are always in demand. Would it not be bett-r for us to j dry our peaches, aid thus avoid buying North:- By this means we can retain some of our cot j ton m ney in our midst. Raise what you eat.” Marianna Courier: “Marianna will never be any- larger as long as the property owners ssk I such extravagant prices for thi-ir lots. Kents j are a:so entirely too high. Vou who have j dilapidated and unfinished buildin/* could well j afford to give the use of these to some i ar y for one year, if by this means your building j could be put in good condition Try i\” Marianna Courier: Vhile the damage to the j corn crop of our county has been very great. *e note one fart, and that is the crops that were highly fertilized and well cultivated with I stood the drought best. This is suggestive, and we trust the farmers will make a note of it. and this fall and winter give especial atten tion to composting fert lizers.” Hamilton County Times "We are informed that two week* since a party by the name of Brooks Evans, of anywhere, got into a dispute wi h atoiher by the nan-e of Mall Kelly, from Georgia, at Belleville. Ke'ly had an old mus ket and tried to shoot, but the oil fusee snapped. Evans tli*n fired four or five shot-- at Kelly with a revolver, mi sing him every time, after which he ‘dusted.’” Pensacola Aden*c “Capt A. W. Mclntosh, master of the Bri'ish bark Dictator, was ar rested aud imprisoned a few days since on a warrant issued in Penkacola on the I9th inst. by Justice of the Peace G. M. Cohen. I.ut on application of his attorney. Col. J. P. Jones, a writ of habeas corpus ai issued by Judge Maxwell, and the Captain at once released. The arrest, w e learn, grew out of llie master refusing to recognize the ac'ion of the Sheriff, who seized one of the ship's boats for debt.” Pensacola Advance: “Mr. Nathan H. Hen drix. Sr who died at his country homestead on the 2d inst.. will be remembered as one of the pioneer settlers of Florida, and for thirty five years or more lie resided at bis peaceful little country home fourmiles distant from the city. Mr. Hendrix was a remarkable man, not onlv in point of lorg -vi-y. having reached his eighty-first year, but also in being the sire of a very numerous progeny, having at the time of his death, fifteen living children, and grand children sufficiently old to marry. Thus one more old landmark has passed away.” The Tallahassee Economist does not like the management exhibited in the Peter Kennedy ca-e and is “amazed to hear that the reward of $250 offered by the Governor of Florida for the apprehensmn of Kennedy and his delivery, h s been paid for h'S dead body found in Geor gia." The following is a de'aded acc -unt 1 t the rapt re and killing going the rounds of the Florida press: “Messrs. Caraway Smith and Charley Church found out the wher> about* of Peter Kennedy, the murderer of Mr..l. H. Whit- I tik r. who was killed iu J* fferson county some i time since, and as there was a lar.e reward of fered, they started from Madison la-t week to capture him. They traced him to Boston. Ga.. where he was about, to leave for other parts. I He ran s soon as they told him to consider himself their prisoner. Mr. Smith then fired j at him. striking him in the leg. He was then captured and handcuffed. Then all started for Monticello. The prisoner and his wife and a negro driver were in the wagon. Messrs Smith and Church were riding horseback They had j arrived at about the Florida line when the prisoner got loose and was handed the gun which Mr. Church had put in the wagon, af ter taking the caps off. He snapped both j barrels at Mr. Church and then ran into a dense swamp to the creek. Tliev hunted for him for some time, but could not find him. Mr. Smith then started hack after some dogs It seems that by this time Mr Church was joined by Mr Jack Linton, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon they disc vered something in the water, which the ycung men say they took for an otter, and Mr. Linton fired at it. After go ing nearer, they found the object of their search. He had quite a number of buckshot id h s head, shouloerg and side. The body was taken to Monticello and readily identified ns the noted desperado who had so long openly defied the law. These gentlemen are deserving of much commendation and prsi*e. for cap turing su -h a cfcara- tee. They have secured j the reward offered by the State, f250. and the reward offered by the citizens of Jefferson county will be forthcoming soon." A Manana War in Aspimrall. A Panama dispatch says: ‘Two months ago anew firm, Ivcrr A Cos., who have been engaged in the fruit trade between Jamaica and New York, started a branch line in Aspinwall in op position to the Frank Brothers. The old firm had previously paid seventy or eighty cents for each bunch of bananas, which are grown a short distance from Aspinwall. The new firm offered if 1 for every bunch put on their steamer. The steamer Edilh Golden, belonging to Kerr j Cos., arrived at Aspinwall on the j night of the 3d, ostensibly to load I bananas for New York. The I agent made a proposition to the I banana growers to pay $1 for each bunch delivered at Fox River. On Frank IP os. hearing of the proposition, an agreement was made with Mr. Woods, the Superintendent of the Panama Railroad Company, to have a switch engine put upon the track so as to prevent the men passing across the line, and after having succeeded in get- i ting the aid of twenty Colombian sol diers, kept the track clear of banana growers. Unfortunately, an inoffensive Jamaica man, who was on an errand, I was shot dead, as an order was previous ly given by the Superintendent of the j Panama Railroad Company to the sol diers, that in case any person should at tempt to cross the line that the horse and person were to be shot “On the news of the killing of the Ja maican becoming known, a party of some 300 natives and Jamaicans assem bled in front of the Howard House, where Mr. Woods had been secreted, but on his learning the determination of the excited crowd, he took refuge on board the steamer Colon, under escort of a file of soldiers. The English Consul, Mr R. C. Crompton, ha 9 been greatly condemn ed, for it is supposed that lie has also been compromised by the Frank Broth ers. If this state of affairs continues it will probably end in the same manner as that of the 15th of April, 1856, in which so mauy lives were sacrificed for only one melon. Serious Itallroad Accident. Richmond, July 26. An accident oc curred last evening on the Richmond and Allegheny Road, twenty mlle6 east of Lynchburg, the engine of a construction train jumping the track, followed by five cars. Engineer Heffner was seriously scalded, Conductor Thompson badly bruised, and bis two colored laborers fatally injured. Three others were hurt. A DAY OF RUMORS. UNFOUNDED REPORTS CONTRA DICTED. Bone Splinters Taken from the Wound—The Patient Much Re lieved-The Con* lilting Surgeons in A ttendanee-Dr. Bliss Again Confident- Only SI Is bt Pever—How Public Faith is Shaken. Washington, July 26.— There has been a deep-seated anxiety to-day over the Presi dent’s condition. The bulleMn issued this morning showed that everything was satis factory to the careless observer. To tbe experienced eve, however, it was unsatis factory. It was evident that something was being kept back. That is the troub'e The d.octors, while what they say in their bulle tins is true, do deceive in that they leave unsaid much that should be said. This was at no time more apparent than to day. Oa the heels of the bulletin came the information that an operation bad been performed. Even this was attempted to be denied, but tbe deniil could not stand long. Tjie necessity for the operation arose from irritating cacses, which, It was ascertained when the wound was dressed this morning, bad again stopped the flow of pus Dr. Ag new did not arrive uuti! 1 this mornlDg. lie was prcseiit at the consultation, and, after the bulletin was formulated, stated that an operation wou'd have to be performed. This was done. The operation was through the incision made by the first operation on Sunday last. The opening of that incision, which, it will be remembered, was to reach the pus sac, was enlarged and a forceps used to extract the pieces of the sbat‘ered rib, which were tbe cause of the irritation. Two pieces of rib, each about au inch long, were taken ted on the question of bang ing bim, but some circumstance in the case caused the majority to favor holding him until after the It quest had been held. THE NEW YORK STOCK MARKET* Depressed by False fteporta f (lie Frcatdeut. Niw York, July 26. —The stock market opened inegu’ar, but in the early dealings prices ad vaDcid Vg to 1% per cent., with Union Pacific common aud New Jersey Central leading the improvement. Before the first board, however, speculation became weak, and, under the influence of a free selling movement, prices fell off sharply, the downward movement being as slsted by the cireu'a ion of reports that the President’s condition wrs extremely criti cal. The lowest figures were teuebed after the 6ecor:d board, ufter which there was a slight rally, but in tbe final salc6 quotations again fell off, aud the market closed very heavy at the lowest figures of the day. The dav’s decline ranged from to 5 per cent. Sales aggregated 421,304 snares. COSILY FLAMES. Big Blair In Baltimore.

Patrick Talfourd Hicke, changed wi'h threatening to kill Right lion. William E. Forster, was committed for trial to day. Anew London newspaper, called the Kventng News, made its appearance to day. Its politics sppeir to be moderate Liberal, j Tbe Standard thinks that the American police could surely by this time have dis- covered something as to who shlpp-d the infernal machines. “Public opinion,” it j says, “will demand a full inquiry, aud we are sure the American Government will, consistently with its own municipal laws, j show every desire to help us. We hope ‘due diligence' will now bear the same in- j terpretation as in the Alabama case. We j demand no damages. We only ask friendly j aid in checking an infamous conspiracy The Morning Post thinks the time has come when America should adopt similar measures towards O’Donovan R ssa and; others, who abuse her hospitality, as Eng- j land did towards Johann Most. As re j gards the attempted repetitions of outrages, it sajs: “We will not do America the lnjus tice of supposing that only a sense of per sonal risk to her own citizens will induce her to take strong measures.” Ii the House of Commons this evening, on the consideration of the committee re port on the land bill, a clause proposed by Right Hon.

C.. July S3 .—Editor Morning Newt: Before quittin; Washington I write again in reference to some thing c which have come under my observation. At this moment the newsboys are crying the “extra Star," containing the inform&tio in reference to sn unfavorable turn in the President’s condition this morning. Let us still hope for his recovery. The Educational Bureau of this government is yet young, and wants system and complete ness. It is gathering information by means of reports from schools of all sorts, and from all countries. There are now twelve thousand volumes in the library, and twenty seven thou sand pamphlets. The catalogues of all schools authorized to corfer degrees are carefully classified and filed. By means of tlfe bureau it can be ascertained whether a man graduated at a particular college and when. The question was recently sent to the bureau as to when Mrs. Garfield taught iu the schools of Cleve land, and the question was settled. Here I saw a Chinese Review of recent date, transla ted into English. Of course men faxiliar with modern languages are needed in the bureau The Medical Museum, the theatre in which Lincoln was shot, may possess interest for specialists, but for mojt people it is a mere Golgotha, the place of skulls—skulls per forated with bullets in all possible ways, and human deformities and monstrosities. Many visit tbe place, but I doubt if they enjoy the visit. The place is filled with memories of murder and the charnel house. While on a gio invsubject, let us pass over to the Treas ury Department, and enter the gallery of counterfeiters. Here there are two large vol umes of photographs, besides the pictures on the wells of persons who have been con victe lof counterfeiting. The faces are those of men—soma old—women and bays Some of the faces are frightful in viciousness of ap pearance, hut there are some good fac->s. It suggests the fact that persons with better natures are often Ud astray by their relations to the bad and designing In the office, they say that there a~e now out about four hun dred counterfeits. One of the youngest, but I must think a very useful department of the govern ment, is the Life Saving Service. It was orgtnized in 1871. There are stations now along the whole circle of coast, the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific. Four teen hundred men are employed nine months in the year in this-service, and they report 1.930 persons saved by the service during the last year! The service costs about $450,000, and it is claimed that, besides the lives, it saved about 13,000,000 in property. The usual dis tance of stranding by vessels is about four hundred yards from shore; tbe service can throw a line six hundre 1 yards. When the ves sel needs help and the sea will not permit boats to go out, thea the Life-Saving Set vice c >mes to the rescue. By mans of the I.vle gin a rope is thrown across the vessel, and then other ropes, with instructions how to fasten them, until a rope-bridg- is formed, ever which a lit tle car is sent to bring off the pastengers, six or eight at a time Iu the office is a model of a remarkable English life-boat which is both self righting and self bailing. I lingered for a little while in the Army Museum. There are two rooms filled with flags of the late war; all the cap tured flags; in one room those captured by the Federals; in the other those captured by the Confederates. Many are torn and faded; some mere borders along the staff. I handled the flag carried by Stonewall Jack son’s brigade with thrilling emotions. A friend tells nte that some time since a man came to the museum and asked to see Jackson's ti >g, slating that he himself bore it. It was shown to him. He been a complete let ting down cf moral principle; and in stead of peace and safety, a reign of crime has been inaugurated. The re cords of a single day’s development of crime would fill a volume. To day, a negro in Louisiana attempts a dastardly outrage on a young lady; tomorrow morning's sun will greet a ghastly corpse swinging to the limb of a tree. A jail guard in Arkansas opens the door of the prison and allows a quar tette of dangerous desperadoes to go their way. In another part of the same State, a howliDg mob takes from the jail a prisoner under a long sentence, shoot, and then hang him. In Rutherford county, Tennessee, a negro mao, for a bru tral outrage, is seized by a mob of lynchers, and speedily dispatched. Two murders and one legal execution took place in Arkansas last Friday, and on the same day two men were killed in aff rays, one hanged by the officers of the law in Henry county, Missouri, while at Maryville, in the same State, two youths, convicted of the crime of killing their own father, were put to death by the Sheriff in accordance with the sentence of a court. In Text3 several persons were wounded and bruised in aff rays,aud some were killed outright on this same fa’al Friday. We read of Italian ban dits domiciled in New Orleans, and the next instant our eyes behold the bloody records of American brigands, who stopped a whole train, killed tbe con ductor and a passenger, and carried away the contents of the express safe. But we have no disposition to ex'end the list further. It is a sickening rec >rd. The cr.mes in clude every variety and grade. Crime against life, against prop against virtue, against morality; violent struggle of infuriated men, ih stealthy shot of the concealed assassins; the piti less embrace of the lusty brute; the in vasion of the sanctities of home; slan ders and lapses of every grade and char acter constitute a part of the records of the crimes of a week. What can be the matter? Is the moral world out of joint? May there not be some subtle influence —some atmospheric conditions ttiat act upon the cerebral or arans to produce a species of madness? Whether that be tbe case or not, certain it is that the country seems to be afflict ed with an epidemic of crime, such as his never before swept over it. The moral tone of the people and the press appear to he low. Mob law is justified and defended by public prints, and deeds of violence seem to excite but a passing consideration. Something must be done to check the reign of law lessness. What is the cause? No reme dy can be applied without a knowledge of the nature of tbe disease. A Wont an and Her l’istol. George W. Coles, Treasurer to llnrry Miner’s Theatre, New A'ork, was shot and mortally wounded Tuesday nialrt at Broome street and the Bowery by Eliza beth Coleinan, a married woman of 82 Catherine street, who accuses Coles of having caused her ruin. They had met so quietly, and were standing so close together when the shot was fired that the bystanders all thought Coles had shot himself. With this impression they turned their attention only to him as he staggered toward the bar room of the theatre. The wo man was left to herself, but she seemed scarcely to know what use to make of her liberty. She finally walked away very rapidly and gave her self up to the police, surrendering the pistol and saying: “1 have shot George Coles. He got me intoxicated and ruin ed me, and when confronted by my hus band told him all To day my husband applied for a divorce and the custody of my four children. I could not Ive if they took my children away from me. The youngest is only eighteen months old. I thought I was justified in shoot ing the man, and lam not sorry. I sent to him in the theatre, and ho met me on the corner. When he admitted to me that he had told my husband all I shot him. My hand was on his shoulder when I fired, and I held the pistol close against his body.” The woman’s husband corrobo rates the divorce part of the story and the ground for the application, as stated by her. On Wednesday she was com mitted to jail to await the result of Coles’ wound, which is in ihe abdomen, and very dangerous. The woman was perfccly cool. In his ante mortem state ment Coles says he visited the woman several times, but did not know she was married. She represented herself as single. Coles died yesterday. Disposition of the Bribe Money. New York Evening Post. The roll of currency, amounting to two thousand dollars, which Mr. Bradley gave to Speaker Sharpe, which the Speaker handed to the investigating com mittee of the Assembly, and which the committee turned over to the State Comptroller, was not called for. This was to be expected upon any theory of the case. To apply for the re urn of the money would he confess guilt either of bribe or of a false charge of bribery. erday ihe Assembly adopted a on to give tbe alleged pecuniary tment of corruption to the widow of work ingman who was killed on the Capitol building. Without questioning the worthiness of the object, it may be asked by what authority the appropria tion was made. Either the money belongs to the Slate or it is held in trust for the real owner. In the former case it should go into the State Treasury. In the latter case further efforts should be made to trace the money to its souice. In the midst of their heated controversy concerning the Senate seats the half breeds and stal warts came to a sudden and mysterious agreement to drop the bribery investiga tion—an inquiry which never was pushed with any vigor. If the members of the Legislature believe that by now giving the two thousand dollars to the widow they can induce the people to for get the Bradley Sessions affair they are mistaken. Satonfl Mentor.

flic WHITAKER STREET, .MORNING NRW3 BUILDING). j' H. F*iTILL, proprietor. \V. x. THOMPSON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. JULY 27. ISSU The receipts at Washington on Satur day were: From internal revenue. $541,762; and from customs, $993,000. The bank notes received for redemption amounted to $266,000. We are informed that the first article of the series on the ‘‘Civil Service of the Confederate Government,” written for the Philadelphia Time*, by Col. H- ,l Capers, will appear in that paper on the 30th of July. The Ciucinnati papers now declare that it was not the heat that killed some >OO people in that city wcek but whisky -in proof of which they cite the fact that two thirds of the sunstruck persons drank toddies occasionally. As whisky has no friends, it is well to charge every thing to its account. An insurance man tells the New York Herald that over 50 per cent, of the fires occurring in that city are attributable to incendiarism, and 32 per cent, to the willful negligence of the assured. There are men, he says, who make it a regular trade to take places of business, insure their stock, and set fire to it. There will be plenty of political fun in Pennsylvania this fall. The Greenback ers and Prohibitionists have each placed a full State ticket in the field. It is pro bable that the other parties—the Demo cracy and the Republicans —will imitate their example and give the people of the “Keystone State” the pleasure of wit nessing a quadrangular fight. Philadelphia now finds itself in fully as filthy condition as New York, and threatened with an epidemic. The death of a number of persons in Camden, N. J.. just opposite, from diseases pioduced by the filthy condition of the streets, seems to have aroused the Philadelphians to the situation,and an earnest effort will be made to secure clean streets. “Wise legislation,” the Baltimore American sensibly says, “by protecting the people against unjust discriminations, would also protect railroads from the ruinous competitions into which they are sometimes, as at this very moment, forced. The prosperity of the people is bound up with that of the railroads, and in the long run neither can truly thrive at the expense of the other. No civilized country in Europe makes as good a showing in prosperity and wealth as France. The financial condi tion of that country is almost better than that of the United States. The French Assembly has remitted this year $55,000, 000 annually of taxes, redeemed s2uu,- 000.000 of the national debt, and devo ted $31>0.000.000 to public works, aud yet closed the year with a surplus of $10,000,000. Nearly half a million millions of the bonded debt of the country is owned by people so rich that no one of them holds less than fifty thousand dollars of the bonds. When it is understood, says the St. Louis Republican, that almost one third of the interest-bearing debt is owned by people of such wealth that they can salt away a matter of fifty thousand dollars in securities yielding no more than 4 per cent, interest, it is possible to see some basis for the popular feeling about bloated landholders. A case of fraud has been unearthed in Topeka, Kansas, where a shrewd ad venturer, Louis N. Korcb, took ad vantage of the wild desire for office and began enrolling a number of officials. He preteuded to have authority from the United States to enroll 1,000 men as de tectives. to receive $1 >0 a day. lie charged bis dupes $5 50 for enrolling them, and succeeded in securing 200 or 300 before he was shown up, when he departed for another point. His dupes were generally negroes. A proposition is now being discussed by some of Kansas City's leading citi zens looking to the formation of a fund by private subscription—say $50,000, the amount now considered —w hen raised to he offered as a reward for the produc tion of the bodies of Frank .James, Jesse James, Jim Cummings and Dick Little, dead or’alive. This sum, it is thought, can be easily secured by appealing to the State, railroad and express companies, to which subscriptions will be added contributions from all the law loving citizens of Missouri. There is no limit to the number of special ieports coming from the Census Bureau, which will make its volumes one of the most exhaustive treatises ever published concerning the wealth and condition of a country. Mr. Henry Gen nert is engaged on a report showing the kind of fuel used in the various States. The report is not yet complete, but onough is known for him to estimate that four-fifths of the fuel used in this country is wood and only one-fifth coal. In Min nesota, where both wood and coal are ■carce. it was found that 13,000 persons used bav as fuel. The Statistical Bureau at Washington continues to do stalwart work in behalf of the Mississippi river boom. It is true that the bureau is doing nothing but re port the bare figures of the port statistics of the country, but nothing could more strikingly illustrate the steady and enor mous growth of the down-river move ment. than the comparative exhibit of the exports of all the leading seaports. It is sufficiently startling to see that New Orleans exported more bresdstuffs in May and June of this year than during the whole of 1879, but the significance of these figures is greatly increased when it is understood that New Orleans and Boston were the only seaports in the country in which the exports were greater for the last fiscal year than the year previous. The Northern papers use to have a good deal to say about the habit of carrying concealed weapons, which they declared to be prevalent at the South. They find now that they have enough to attend to in this line at home, and have consequently ceased to indulge in abuse of this section. There are, says the New York Star, twelve thousand men in that city who habitually carry pistols concealed about their persons, while the leader declares the number of walking arsenals in Cleveland, Ohio, to be five thousand. This argues either great in security to life in these cities, or a great disregard of the law. The evil has grown so great in Philadelphia that the reform Mayor of that city has thought it necessary to issue special orders to the police not only to arrest aH persons carrying weapons, but ?e search those whom they suspect of the habit. Most Too Much of the Railroad Boom. An Atlanta dispatch to the New Or leans Democrat says; “There is a very important bill now pending before the Legislature to charter the Atlanta and Rome Railroad. This road is absolutely necessary to complete the Cole system, connecting Brunswick, Ga with Cin cinnati, and the friends of Cole openly charge that Senator Joseph E. Brown and other prominent Georgians are fighting the bill in the interest of the Louisville and Nashville Road, which owns a controlling inter est in the State Road, of which Senator Brown i§ President Cole is under Itond to construct the extension of the Macon and Brunswick Road from Macon to Atlanta, and it is now build ing, but if he fails to get the charter re ferred to his system fails. Cole’s system cuts the territory of the Louisville and Nashville Road, and if completed would prove a formidable rival to it in Georgia. Public sentiment here favors the giving of the charter to Cole, who alleges that some of the men are fighting him because be refused to pay them to engineer the bill through the Legislature. We are not aware that Senator Brown is opposed to the granting of a charter to Colonel Cole’s proposed road from Atlanta to Rome, but we are not sur prised to learn that there is a growing opposition to the charter of a road to compete with our State Road. If ane cessitv exists for a road from Atlanta to Rome, or if any benefit would be likely to accrue to the people of Georgia from the construction of such a competing road, then the charter should be granted. But if the only inter est to be subserved is that of a foreign railroad combination, it will be well for the Legislature to hesitate before it grants such a charter to the detriment of the vested interests of the State and people. We need not object to foreign railroad competitors fighting out their rivalries by means of lines of railroad within our borders; but in granting the charters the}' seek, the Legislature should take care that we do not depreciate the value nor hurtfully disturb the railroad system of our State, that has cost so many years of labor and so many millions of money to build up. The Vice President aud the Cabinet. The uninfluential position in the gov ernment occupied by the Y*ice President has of late been the subject of extensive newspaper discussion. It has been sug gested that the Vice President be made by law a member of the President's Cabinet. Those who advocate this pro position, remarks the New Y’ork Keening Pint, forget that the Cabinet is not and never has been in our governmental sys tem the creature of law. The law pro vides for a Secretary of State, of War, or the Treasury and so on, but not for a Cabinet as an executive council. The President may call the heads of depart ments together as a Cabinet council and consult with them if he pleases, or he may not call them together as a Cabinet at all. No law compels him to do so. He may also, if he pleases, call in any person of his choice to take part in the meetings and deliberations of the Cabi net, and no law stands in his way. If, therefore, the President sees fit to invite the Y’ice President to meet with the Cabinet as one of its members, there is absolutely nothing to prevent it. No law is required for that purpose; but so far no President seems to have been fa vorably struck with the idea, and there is scarcely any prospect that President Gar field will form an exception to the rule. Mr. Coukliug's Exit. Under this heading the New York Evening Post, Carl Schurz's paper, re marks: “The defeat of Mr. Conkling forms an instructive chapter in our po litical history. It is a clear case of greatness mania with fatal result. Mr. Conkling had evidently become the vic tim of singular hallucinations in conse quence of circumstances for which he was not altogether himself accountable. When a man who is naturally inclined to inordinate self esteem finds himself constantly surrounded by flatterers, who never cease to speak to bun of his supe rioritv over all other men and in all things bow to his will, be will finally himself believe in his own sublimity and mistake his relation to the universe. He will gradually begin to look upon himself a? the centre of creation and re gard the gratification of his selfishness as an inborn right which everybody else is bound to respect. That Mr. Conk ling's mind gradually drifted into this morbid coedition was undoubtedly in a measure owing to the obsequiousness of his friends. They must, to a great ex tent, be held responsible for the follies of his course and his final downfall. The question of the internal revenue must be settled, and that speedily, by Congress. A full Treasury begets waste, and the vast army of placemen employed in the collection of the taxes is made up of but so many puppets that dance in obedience to the central spring at Washington. The people want the burden lifted, and Congress should comply with their wishes at the coming session. Whatever changes were made could go into effect at the beginning of the next fiscal year, and no shock would be given to existing arrangements, nor would injustice be done to any one con nected with the service. The Associated Charities of Boston have published a circular warning peo ple against giving money to street beg gars. “They are almost sure to be swindlers,’’ says a committee of the society, after careful investigation; “ninety nine out of a hundred is not too high to put it, and. in fact, is being very lenient to the hundredth; and yet, be cause it is an easy sort of self-indulgence to put one's hand in one's pocket and give what one will never miss, the im posters will live and thrive, to the detrl ment and loss of the worthy poor, and the demoralization of the careless rich.” Secretary Blaine is receiving daily five or six letters from various parts of the country, written by persons who claim to be anxious to dispose of Guiteau. They propose a variety of methods. One of the letters ieceived Saturday was from a Missourian, who says: “My dear sir—l understand they are to put Guiteau fn an insane asylum for life. Can't you arrange it to send him out here and let us fix him?” A postscript says that Jay Gould would undoubtedly give Guiteau free transportation West over his railroad lines. It is a custom in London, on the suc cessive anniversaries of a person’s death, for friends to send a notice like the fol lowing for insertion in the Time* obitu ary column: “In loving memory of Harriette Fanin, died 7th July, 1872.” This notice appeared on the 7th of July, 1881—nine years after the death of the subject of it In the Senate there are now two Mil lers, two Joneses, two Hills, two Davises and two Camerons. Abolish the Internal Revenue. The people of the United States will shortly be confronted with the question whether the government shall continue to collect a large annual surplus of revenue. If not, then the question will present itself, shall the internal revenue be abolished, or shall import duties be reduced? For the fiscal year 1880, de spite the arrears of pensions and other lavish expenditures, considerably more than half the sum collected in the shape of revenue was a surplus, and was used to take up bonds which were not due. For the fiscal year just closed, of the internal revenue collected, about $133,- 000,000. nearly three fourths, has been a surplus and has also been applied to the taking up of bonds. Collections of reve nue on such an enormous scale, what ever may have been their necessity heretofore, are no longer desirable. They are not needed for the maintenance of public credit, or by the obligations of the public debt. Clearlv then either the customs duties must be largely reduced or the internal revenue taxes abolished. The latter is the easier tol>e accomplished and would afford the liveliest satisfaction, and, whether the internal taxes stand or fall, tariff revision will come up for settle ment on its own merits. The whole system of internal taxation is oppressive and unnecessary. It is the hated tax system of the war, maintained after the lapse of two decades at the an nual average of the entire period. More is now collected than for any year as far back as 1871, and the amount has steadily grown in the past four years. Only in the seven years comprising the war period and its immediate close, was the internal revenue so large as now. The consequences of the burden are in jurious in the extreme. The Philadel phia American, which warmly advocates the abolition of the internal revenue system, in this connection well says: “The collections from spirits cause continual friction, and occasional blood shed in the South; in the very region where, of all, it is desirable not to have the national authority associated in the popular mind with exaction and oppres sion; and the necessity for the armed de monstrations, the raids upon 'moonlight distillers, the skirmishes and miniature battles, is extremely to be deplored. The freedom of the people to use their grain products as they choose, to distill or not distill, and to lie exempt from the offen sive surveillance of the government, with its bodies of soldiers foilowiug close at the heels of gauger ami collector, would add in no small degree to the quietude of the South, and the sacrifice of a single life in the further exaction of this tax of the war is a deplorable per petuation of the war itself.” One hundred and thirty five millions annually out of the pocket 9 of the peo ple is a buiden that no free people care to carry long. In 1879 and ’BO more than 00 per cent, of these taxes came from spirits, tobacco and fermented liquors, anti fell heavily on the export trade in those lines. The tax on bank checks is irritating and troublesome> while that on matches is a positive exac tion from the necessities of the people. But fir more vexatious are the endless prosecutions, frequently futile, and too often set on foot by officials eager for fees. These, with the fees of District Attorneys and Marshals, the pay and mileage of witnesses and jurors, add largely to the weight of the burcL n. Unless it be insisted that th present rapid discharge of the public debt be maintained, it can be shown that, with the whole of the internal revenue omitted, the income and expenditure of the gov ernment could be made to balance. According to Mr. Sherman's estimates, the year from July 1, 1881, to July 1, 18S2, will show a total of revenue of $350,000,000; total expenditures, $259, 924,882 08, leaving a surplus of $90,035,- 117 92. A little less than half of this surplus he assigned to the sinking fund. For the collection of the remaining half he offered no excuse or reason at all. The total of receipts from the estimated internal revenue for the coming year is $130,000,000. This exceeds the antici pated excess of receipts over expendi tures by about $40,000,000. It would look then as though the internal taxes could not be dispensed with. However, on the side of expenses there are numer ous reductions to be made from the esti mates. The interest on the public debt has been reduced $15,500,000. With the internal revenue abolished, the cost of its collection and the prosecutions it gives rise to would be saved. There would be a saving here of fully $4,000,000. The customs receipts are thought to have been placed too low, and it is pos sible that they may be $5,000 000 in ex cess of the estimates. Altogether with these corrections, the deficit that would be caused by the abolition of the internal revenue would amount to about $15,- 000.000, and if Postmaster General Janies can save $3,000,000. as he hopes to do, in hi> department, there can be enough leaks stopped in the other de partment' to overcome the whole of the deficit. There is another phase of the matter, too, which, though of no special moment at present, is none the less interesting: and that is that according to Mr. Sher man's calculations, if the present tax system is continued for ten years to come, over £520,000,000 of the principal of the debt will be liquidated. But if the whole of the surplus be added to the sinking fund the total debt reduction will amount to one thousand milffons. Next October the whole of our bonded debt will be but about 50 per cent, more than this anticipated reduction. The national banks, therefore, may well in quire how they will fare for circulation at the end of a decade. The Boston Pott declares that William Wilson engaged himself to marry Susan Southwell at Ogden, Utah, and among his gifts were a sewing machine and a cabinet organ. Her parents forbade the union, and told him to take away his presents, but he delayed doing so until he was married to another girl, and then, when he called, Susan gave him such a thrashing that his recovery is doubtful. During a recent inquest in Liverpool on the body of a child found dead, it was said that the father was “given to drink,” and that the mother kept the family by her own labor. She wa- engaged in making match boxes, for which she was paid at the rate of two pence per gross, she having to find her own paste and cotton. In thi- way she earned from four shillings to four shilling- and six pence per week. It is predicted that as soon as the Northern Pacific Railroad reaches Wash ington that Territory will apply for ad mission into the Union. This is highly probable, as It already contains nearly the population needed to make it a State. A brewer's employe in Toronto formally sold hi3 wife and two children to a fellow employe a few days ago. As the woman was sold with a rope round her neck, and as the instrument of sale was signed by both the men, they fully believed that the transaction was legal. Perhaps, after all, Canada is not quite ready for annexation to this country. .RAILROAD BANDITTI. An Astonishing Cor dttlon of Affairs on a Long Inland Railway— Pa aeugera Attacked by Rough* With Drawn Pistols In an Excursion Car. Sew York Herald, July 19. An astonishing assault was made upon the passengers of a Rockaway on Sunday evening last by a gang of New Y’ork roughs. The details of the attack are more suggestive of the methods of the Italian banditti than of the ordinary picnic affrays of America. Just after the half past nine o’clock train started from the depot at Rockaway Beach some dissipated but fierce looking bruis ers began to look around in one of the cars, seemingly taking a rueutal invento ry of the physical accomplishments of the passengers. Among the roughs were two women who were conspicuously demoustrative, and the boisterousness of the party attracted a deal of atten tion even among those who were accus tomed to seeing Rockaway crowds. The men hail evidently been drinking. They grew uneasy and quarrelsome, and began to glare at the more iuoffensive passengers. Suddenly one of the roughs stepped from the side of his female companion, who was making a coarse exhibition of her famil iarity with him, and crossing the aisle to a peaceable man, Mr. Michael Me Mullen, residing at No. 316 East Eleventh street, who was sitting directly opposite, de manded, “How many fellows have you got in your crowd?” Enough to make you mind your own business,” was the reply. At this the rough insolently slapped Mr. McMullen's face, and accused him of winking at his girl. Mr. McMullen said that as he is married be had no desire to wink at any body’s girl. Mr. McMullen had a com panion by his side who was self-pos sessed, anil it was due to his influence that the blow was not returned. At length, after some hot words, order was restored. The passengers looked out of the windows and McMullen dropped into a doze. A German sitting near by saw one of the roughs approach the sleeper with a drawn revolver. He rai.-ed it to take aim, but the German knocked it down, and then a general melee was begun. The German grap pled with the man with the pistol. Mc- Mullen sprang to his assistance and the weapon was wrenched from him. Then Mr. McMullen was knocked down and kicked in the face. While he was lying almost helpless on the floor of the car, with the mob trampling on hint, a bruiser named O Reilly kicked him and jumped on him, but in spite of this be managed to throw the robber off in time to grapple with one of the women who had her hand in his pocket search ing for money. Then there was fierce fighting, and the entire car was like a cage of wild beasts. The roughs howled and swore. McMullen caught the female robber by the wrist and twisted it backward until she shriek ed with pain. The bruisers tried to squeeze through the crowd ami break down tbe seats to reach her. The Ger man struck out right and left to the ter ror of the robbers, while tbe train was thundering over the track at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The roar of the cars, the shrieks of the women and the howling of the men. and the blazing lo comotive drawing this pandemonium on wheels through the darkness, made the scene a terror for those of the inhabitants of Rockaway peninsula who weie out that night. Fortunately Sheriff Wright, of Queens county, was on board the train with one of his deputies, and after a severe strug gle he forced his way over the heads of the surging mob anil reached the real offenders. The passengers welcomed the officers, and after a vigorous fight the Sheriff and his deputy made prisoners of one or two of the ringleaders of the cut throat gang. On the arrival of the train at Hunters’ Point the prisoners were committed to the county iail. They gave the nami- of John Sanderson. Dan iel Reilly and Jamt* Reilly, aud said they belong in this city. BLOODCURDLING TRAGEDY. A Story Thai Seem* Almost In credible. A horrible and blood-curdl-ng tragedy was enacted in Eagle Creek Valley, is consin, fourteen miles from Winona, on last Sunday morning. Paul Helde, a Swiss immigrant, in a tit of insanity, killed his wife aud seven children, and then blew out his own brains. From a gentleman who was one of the first to visit the scene I learn the following: “On arriving at the farm house the first thing that attracted our attention was the mutilated body of a litile boy about seven years old, who was lying on the path with his head split open and a bullet hole in his brains. Passing this, we entered the kitchen and beheld on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood, the body of tbe father, shot through the neck and head. Near him lay a hatchet covered wUh blood, and an old Swiss revolver, while on a chair were powder and caps. Pushing into the next room a sickening sight met our gaze. Aeross the bed lay the mother with her throat cut, and a hole in her breast made by the hatchet. By her side lay a headless babe, while on the other side was a little girl in the last stages of death. In the alley two more of the children were found, both mutila ted and shot through the head. The barn was next visited, and in the haylolt were found the two oldest children, boys of 17 and 18, their bodies hacked in many places, and both dying, being shot through the brain. When discovered all were dead except one girl and the mother. The mother died in half an hour after she was discovered. The child was still alive at last accounts, al though recovery is not expected. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict that the wife and children came to their death by the hands of the hus band and father, aud that he committed suicide while laboring under a fit of ii sanity. Paul Helde and family arrived from Switzerland three months ago. He purchased a farm, and seemed to be living happily. Lately he became de spondent at a prospect of a failure of the crops, and, worried over the thought that he paid too much for his land, doubtless was led to commit the terrible deed. A stoiy was in circulation that on Friday he visited Alta, Wis., to receive $3,000 that he ex pected from the old country. The ex pectation of receiving this money was known to all his neighbors, and there is a suspicion ot foul play The deed has no parallel in this vicinity, and there is great excitement. A Horrible Accusation.— When the Havana steamship Knickerbocker reach ed Robinson's dock, in Brooklyn, Fri day afternoon, four members of the crew went to the Third Sub-Precinct Station, and accused Robert R. Read, the first assistant engineer, of roasting one of the crew to death. The fire-room hands said that early last Sunday morn ing, when the Knickerbocker was less than twenty-four hours out of Havana, and was about three hundred miles this side of that port, Wm. Ivranisch, one of the firemen, was assaulted by Read, knocked down with a shovel, kicked and beaten, and that, while he was lying on a bed of ashes. Read threw open a a furnace door and held him exposed to the full force of the fiery blast until he became unconscious. Kranisch was so overcome by the heat that he died a few hours afterward, and his body was thrown unceremoniously overboard. A Novel Contribution. —The most novel contribution thus far made to the fund for the President s family was sent to the President of the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange on Wednesday by a West Y’irginia boy, accompanied by the following letter; “Dear SiR-I send you by Adams Express to day a live fox. He was caught when no bigger than a rat, and is now only half grown. Be careful he don't gnaw his way out of the box. His name is Roscoe Conkling. Sell him for Mrs. Garfield. Tell her that 1 sent it. and that I hope she would like my idea. Tell her I hope Mr. Garfield will get well. N. B.—l paid $1 for the chain and box. Please send me one fifth of what it sells for, as I want to buy a pig.” The fox is a tremendous fellow and very vicious. He will be sold for the benefit of the fund, and it is thought a considerable sum will be raised. Don’t Die In tbe House. Ask druggists tor “Rough on Rats.” It clears out rate, mice, bed bugs, roaches, vermin, flies, ants, insects. 15c. per box. SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA. Leaves From History—The Beauties of 'XVyllkevJlle’* Environs The Great Valley Turnpike—A Daugh ter of the Randolph*-J ii rices at the German—lmportance of tbe Com ing Election—A Young Patriarch- Pen Picture of “Old Juba!”— A memory of the War. Wvthkvillk, Va., July 24 For twenty-five or more years previous to the Revolutionary war. the whole of Virginia west of the Blue Ridge was called Augusta county.and included even the present State of Kentucky. In 1776 this Augusta county was divided into Wash ington. Montgomery and Kentucky, the latter, of course, being now Kentucky State. Wash ington and Montgomery counties still exist in this southwest region of the State, having lost from time to time, during these hundred years, the territory composing all the counties that make up the great valley and all West Virginia. These facts explain what Washing ton meant when, in the dark days of the war, he spoke of retreating to the “Mountains of West Augusta," and there holding out against British invasion. It was not the little territory now known as Augusta county, with Staunton as its centre, but the great west and southwest section of the State, including all west of the Blue Ridge, and notably this easily defensible mountain region in which I am now sojourning. Nor was this then, as is commonly supposed, awi derness. Such a condition of country could not have maintained a guerilla war. It has been a surprise to me to learn, since I have been here, how earlt this interior coun try was settled. By the middle of the last century, as stated in my last, tbe pioneer bad found his way hither in considerable numbers, and had discovered the mines that abou-d li-re. The reason i* that this is the end of the great valley, and is nature's route from the east into the valley of the Mississippi. This fine locality for a village would not long be overlooked and unoccupied, and so in 1791. Wytheville was laid out on these beautiful hills, under the name of Evansham, though Wythe county was established the year before. Wythe Court House soon became the popular substitute for Evansham, and atlerwards itself gave way to Wytheville, as the fittest name. In December. 1838, this village was set on Are by a negro man to revenge himself on his master for s'me offerse, by burning his house. From the want of water and facilities for using it. the Are spread, and swept away, with few exceptions, the accumulations of fifty years’ occu pation. The incendiary was convicted and hanged. Thu town sprang up gradually from its ashes, and this explains the number of substantial and well built brick houses w hieh were not likely to be bnilt here so early as the beginning of this century. I have already spoken of the beautiful coun try around Wytheville and its tine JceDery But the statement will bear repetition The preat valley turnpike enters and leaves th rown as its main avenue, and the view from the summit point of this well graded and sym metrical street, up and down to the points of its entrance and exit, is in itself a beautiful sight. Diverging from this highway, at any point, north or south, one soon gets into the lulls, and crossing the ridges and spurs of the mountains which overlook th*> town, he has the finest views imaginable of mingled nature and cultivation. From the chimney and high rocks on the top of each mountain south of the town, and towering a tbousaad feet above it, a landscape taking in t“-e whole region for many miles, is obtained, that delights the eye, and that never fades from memory, Nor is it necessary to ascend a nu untain to gratify the vision. A visit to any of the valley farms will satisfy one's sense of the beau tiful. A few afternoons ago I rode out to Mount Prospect, the estate of the late Colonel Gordon K -nt—and my wife having visited there in her chi'dhood—we were most cordially received The trip over the well graded turnpike for five miles, aud then for a mile or more through the hills, is sufficiently beautiful, but when we emerge from the wooded summits, and come in sight of the handsome residence, nest ling in its grove half way down the hill side, surrounded by the smoothest grassy fields, dot ted with hundreds of fine cattle; and then looking further down to the base, skirted by the railway—the cars visible in a continuous run of three miles—over a strip of country called Max Meadows from the land once be longing to the McQavocks, one is ready to ex claim that no more lovely vision ever blessed the eye. In greeting the inmates of this mountain home, whom should I find, in the person of the lovely Mrs. Kent, Jr., but a California Randolph, whom I iieutified at once, from the family history, as the great grauddaugiiter of Edmund Randolph, of Washington's Cabinet;- And when I addressed her as such, she seemed surprised: but her sur prise was increased when I told her that Sir John Randolph, of Williamsburg, was her great-great great-grandfather, and that she was the great-great great great granddauglner of old William, of Turkey Island, the first of the clan Randolph, that emigrated to Virginia. She seemed to feel that I was no stranger to the family history, and this little episode m*de my visit more agreeable, both to the family and to myself. An attractive feature just now in Wythe ville life is the session of the Virginia Court of Appeals. This court sits about nine months in the year, its sessions confined tv Richmond, Staunton and Wytheville. The winter session of five or six months is in Richmond, the rest of the time divided between the other two places. For climate reasons the summer ses sion beg'ns in this mountain town early in July and lasts about six weeks. The court is composed of five Judges, men of the first legal acquirements in Virginia, elected by the Legislature for twelve years. The Chief Justice, Moncure, now an ared and infirm man. is absent, and probably will not sit again on the bench The other four are Judges Christian. Staples, An derson aud Burks, the former presiding at this court. I spend a part of every day in lis tening to the arguments of the lawyers, or in hearing the decisions of the Judges. In at tendance at this court there are a good many lawyers, in addition to resident ones, from this and other sections of the State, generally fine looking men and good speakers. Some of the prominent ones are the State Attorney- General, General Fields: the Lieutenant Gov ernor. General Walker: United States Senator, John W. Johnston, ex-Untted States Senator, Colonel Withers, and Lieutenant General Ju bal A. Early. Judge Staples' appearance is noticeable for his pene rating aud expressive eyes, and, though a larger man, yet in face and general appearance he somewhat resem bles the late Mr Deßenne. These dignified aud learned Judges do not disdain the social life of Wytheville. nor even decline sooiety’s gaieties. Three of them I saw the other night at the festivities of the German (1 don't mean to in sinuate that they were dancing), and they seemed to enjoy the contrast from their graver oecupa ions Without meaning to group my self with these dignitaries. I hasten to say that I too was prerent merely as a spectator. This, by the bye. gave me a chance of seeing some of Wytheville's charming belles, under better auspices even than at church, but the sight was marred hy the feeble illumination of the room, which only half revealed their features and expression. Before 1 dismiss this honorable body. I will say that the term of its Judges will exnire in a year or two. and it is very important, for the character of the court, and the due administra tion of justice, that the next Legislature be rescued from the Readjuster faction, b the success of the Funder, or Debt-Paving paity If not. the next Legislature will not reappoint these Judges, but will fill the vacancies with Readjusters. Now, there are not, lam told, in that party five equally competent jurists, and so one mav imagine the loss to the court. This danger is foreseen, and so the true friends of Virginia's credit and Jionor will strain every nerve to succeed in the coming election for the Legislature. Perhaps I may say a word here on the relative condition and prospects of there two divisions of the Conservative partv. There is a very hostile state of feeling existing between them, far more so than used to be between the Whigs and Democrats in former days. This county, two years ago. sent a Readjuster dele gate to the Legislature bv 50 majority, the ne groes voting with that faction. The towns people generally are w arm Debt Pay-rs, hut they have been outvoted in the county. Th‘s year they are highly confident of reversing this vote, and if like success attends similar efforts elsewhere, the State will be carried by them against both Readjusters and Radicals. So may it be If anything else were wanting to show the hollow pretences of this faction to be true patriots and Southern Democrat*, it will be found in the scandalous act of the present Legislature in voting down, iast year, the name of Stonewall Jackson for the only new county created in Virginia since the war, and in ca'l ing it Diekenson, for a member of its body, an obscure Readjuster, and a former scalawag Radical. It is a disgrace to the State and tbe next Legislature should wipe it out. Col. Robert E. Withers, a gallant soldier in the Confederate war, and U. 8. Senator from 1875 to 1851. lives here. The present Readjuster Legislature elected their leader, General Ma hone, in his place, and Colonel Withers since then has been in private life. I heard both of these Senators speak in the canvas* of 1879, andean only regret that the services of to true and reliable a Senator were sacrificed in a partisan dispute growing out of the miserable debt question. Colonel Withers is the father of one son and ten daughters, most of the lat ter married and living in different sections of this and other States. You can imagine what a family gathering there must sometimes be when all these households assemble at the home of the young patriarch, (for be is net over sixty years old) as they sometimes do; and when, as during last summer, the house was overflowing, I am told, with fifty inmates; and when might be witnessed the beautiful sight of the great-grandmother, grand parents, children and grand children, all dancing to gether. Last week I had the pleasure of an introduc tion to Gen Jubal A. Early, whom we Geor gians so much admire for his gallant war record, and for his subsequent fidelity to the Lost Cause. “Old Jubal,” as we fondly call him, does not even now, after the war has been over for sixteen years, seem to be an old man. He has a sto .ping gait and a venerable beard: but, in spite of there, bis face is full and resolute, and bis voice, though not loud, is firm and steady. His physique and his spirit will prolong his life. I trust, for many years A touching distinction that appeals through the eye to the Southern heart is the Confederate giay full suit which our hero always wears, and which Is both a reminder of our struggle for freedom and a token of Gen. Early’s proud memories of the war. I enjoyed my conversation with him, in which he seemed interested in Savannah affairs, and he inquired particularly about Gen. Igtwton, Gen. Gilmsr and other friends in our city. I have been much interested in a very compan ionable gentleman visiting here this summer. It ii Col. Hounshell.a native of Wytheville, but now a resident of Richmond. His war record, in which he was the Colonel of a regiment, gives him the reputation of a man without rear and without reproach. It would interest you to hear some of the stories of his bravery. But I mention him now to say that I have never met a man of such general informa tion in the history of Virgin!* and 1116 United B'ates—an encyclopaedia of facts and statistics. Grafted upon this Is the moat unfailing and extraordinary memory, hhakapeare aeerns to be known by heart, and Byron and Burn* and Rope and Milton can be quoted o/l libitum. It Is charming hour, whan you Itateu to his apt and well rendered quotations, to Ids analysis of wußy*?ct. and to the spirit an-i feeling with which be de livers them. He Is a little too national for any Southern htaU-arlght# notions, having been re- eonstruattt). m I told him, too tons aft* r tha war and too completely for even this day. HU wife is a descendant of Pocahontas, 1h the twelfth generation, and is a granddaughter of Hon Alexander Mcßae, one of the counsel for th° prosecution ot Aaron Burr in 1907. This part of Virginia was no less patriotic and deroted to the Con'ederacy than the east. The armsbearing popula'ion of Wythe county were early and continuously in the field, being a part of the Stonewall Brigade and one-armed and one-legged men. who lost limbs in the war. are seen here as everywhere else. One of the bravest fights of the war took placa In these very str-ets on the 18th of July. 1861, when a Federal cavalry brigade of thirteen hundred or more, undt r Colonel Toland. swept down from the Kanawha, expecting to capture the place and hreakup the mines which furnished the Confederate army with lead. It would seem to us a foolhardy resistance for a few old citizens in the absence of a mili tary force, save a small guard of soldiers, to show tight against a brigade, and but for cer tain circumstances. it would have been both foolhardy ami fatal The raid was sudden, and he people too indignaut to take counsel of their fears, seized arms, and fighting im petuously from their houses, and retreating f'Otn street to street, iuckilv, in the beginning of tlie tight. kiMed the Colonel commanding and one or two of the other officers. This de moralized the enemy's large force, and a panic followed, as they heard the approach of a rail road train, supposed to be bringing Confede rate troops to the defense of the town. Having lost a dozen or in ore of their troopers, and having killed only three citizens, the Federals, disappointed and demoralized, set on fire a f ew houses and picking up a few old men— whom, however, they released a few miles from town—they decamped over the hills whence they cune. with a wholesome dread and lasting memory of Wytheville’s warlike hospitality. w. S. B. Sunday School Festival iu Efti ogham. Eek, Fffinghax County, July £s.— Editor Morning News: Last Thursday the parents and children connected with the Millar Sunday School and their invited guests spent a very pleasant day at a social gathering. The school is located near the Chatham line, and is named in honor of the young man who organized It several years ago. Since his death others have taken it in charge, ar.d now it is one of the most flourishing and best conducted schools in the country. Mr. Joseph Helmie, the Superintendent, has been at sent from his school only twice in five years, and then sickness prevented him from coming. The forenoon was very warm, but the effi cient committee hal provided for the comfort of their friends and scholars. A large bush arbor had been erected, and beneath its shade numerous barrels, baskets and boxes were visible, unmistakable evidence that pro vision had been made for the inner as well as for the outer man. After religious exercise and speaking, dinner was announced, free for all. Several hundred gathered around the table and partook of the viauds so generously prepared by the descend ants of the noble old Salzburgers. Every one felt at home—children were satisfied and parents gratified. In the afternoon Mr. Exley delivered an ap propriate address. At the conclusion of his remarks _Rov. Charles Neidlinger took the stand Young and old were pleased with his speech. The little ones eagerly listened to his kind counsel, illustrated by many interesting anecdotes, while older minds w ere deeply im pressed. After the disttibution of “goodies” to the children horses were harnessed and all started for‘ home, sweet home.” May all be spared to m et again next year. Beta. st.

Atlanta, Ga IDfl _ _______ A TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER 1 One-Half of Oar Stock of Dry Goods at a Sacrifice THE REASON WHY We propose to do such an amazing thing is because we have had a very prosperous season (hav ing more than doubled the amount of our business over last year), and we follow in the footsteps of the CENTRAL RAILROAD AND BANKING CO. AND HEREBY DECLARE 1 MSI DIVIDEND OF 60 CENTS ON TAG DOLLAR. That is, we propose to give to every one of our customers and patrons certain goods, which we will specify, at about -to CEIXTISJ o> THE DOLLAR. |YO we really mean it? Yes. we do under certain contingencies, which please read carefully f to avoid misunderstanding: We nave bought our heavy winter stock, such as Blankets, Flannels, Pants Cloths, Underwear, etc., during the past three months, to be delivered to us bv the Ist August. In fact we always buy such good* when nobody wants them, and that is one of the secrets why we buy and sell so cheap. Now we have to make room for their reception, but having a very large stock of summer goods still on hand, we are coni pc lied, positively forced, to make A. CLEAR ANCE SALE. Two of our floors being utilized for retail purposes, we find our three-story building inade quate to hold all our goods, and further, we do not care to open next summer’s Season with this summer’s stock. Mark well —do not expect to find these RUINOUS PRICES IN EVERY DEPARTMENT, For we havl thousands of dollars worth of goods tliat know no seasons, such as Shirtings. Sheetings, Notions, and so forth. What we really mean Is, that we are Putting- the Knife Way Down to the Hilt On all of such good* only, which are strictly seasonable just now and not later on. The won derful bargains that are awaiting you cannot be all itemized, though we will endeaver to par ticularize some. REMEMBER THIS ALSO. We do not replace any of these good*, therefore you can’t have them when they are sold out, hence do not expect to find all of them WHENEVER you ask for them. We have them now beyond the shadow of a doubt, whilst writing this, but how long all of these bargains will last, we cannot tell. 20,010 yards CALICO, standard goods, at 434 c. 3 ',OOO yards CALICO, best quality, at 534 c. 6 000 yards Y’ard Wide CALIC >KS at 7c. 1 000 yards BOOID COLOR I.AWN, shelf worn, at 2c. 5,000 yards HANDSOME FIGURED %4 Wtt at 4Uc. 10.000 yards DRESS GOODS, worth 10c., 12)$e. and 15c., at sc. 3,000 yards LINEN LAWNS, warranted all Linen, at Bc. 1.000 yards BUNTING.

A day or two since a colored man was employed by a party living on the Bay to clean out the gutter on his house. The gut ter was of copper, and in excellent condi tion. The negro borrowed a ladder from the house owner for the purpose of ascending to the roof and entering upon the work. In stead of cleaning the gutter cut, however, the enterprising workman very skillfuly re moved It,and, descending the ladder hurried ly,left the premises with his stolen property. He then proceeded to some junk shop, where he succeeded in disposing of it as old copper for, it Is presumed, a fair price, and has not been seen since. The owner of the house was put to the expense of having a new gutter made, which was a good thing for the tinner, whose services were rebuired. Stock* r>ud Bond*.

Zittrouer, whose sad and sudden death on Monday has been announced, will take place this afternoon at five o’clock, from his late residence on Hull street, near West Broad. A telegram was received yesterday stating that bis mother, Mrs. Zittrouer, who was cn a visit to Lumpkin, would arrive here by the Central Railroad train this morning. The funeral will be attended by Magnolia Encampment No. 1, I. O. O. F., andby Golden Rule Lodge No. 12, I. O. O. F., of which he was an honored and esteemed member and past officer. Summer School. It will be seen by notice elsewhere that Mr. W. H. Baker will open bis summer school at Chatham Academy on Monday next. Mr. Baker is known as one of the most thorough and accomplished instruc tors in the State, and the youth who attend his summer school can but be materially benefited and the better prepared for ad vancement at the opening of the regular ses sion. An Enterprising Darkey. James MiddletoD, an enterprising colored individual, watching a favorable opportuni ty, stole several pounds of liver from a stall In the market. He then went to Tena Cooper, an honest colored dame, and en deavored to sell the meat to her. The re sult was hie arrest, and yesterday morning he was arraigned before the Police Court and fined #5 or twenty days. A Noisome Odor-tTbat I* It* Residents in the vicinity of Waidburg and Whitaker streets complain that for the past several nights they have been annoyed by S fearfully odious smell, apparently wafted from a westerly direction. The odor has been noticeable for some time past, but the last two nights has been more powerful and disagreeable. The attention of the authori ties is directed to the matter. Tlie Tybee Family Excursions. The H. B. Plant carried a large cumber of people to Tybee yesterday on her family excursion schedule. These trips are be coming very popular, as every one now un derstands that Captain Fitzgerald does ex actly (or very nearly) as he promises to do, and that be has a splendid 6teamer for the business and knows bow to handle her. Tire Pavements. The work of putting the pavements in order appears to have come to a standstill. Quite a number of citizens obeyed the orders of the City Marsha! and had their sidewalks repaired, but a majority paid no attention to the matter, and saved the brick layer’s bill. When is the ordinance to be enforced

Broken Through. We are informed that the levees on Hntchlnson’s Island are broken through, and the result Is a considerable overflow in some portions. At night a heavy fog has been seen over the island, which is thought to be the exhalations of the over flowed toil. Activity In the Bacon Jlarket. An advance took place In bacon yester day, dear rib tides, shoulders, dry salted clear rib aides and long clears having ad vanced yt c., and shoulders %c. The market dosed firm at the advance.

Adv. matter* and Things Laconically Noted. 14S bales of cotton were sold here yester day. There were 6old here yesterday 230 barrels of rice. The temperature yesterday was quite pleasant for July. Golden Rule Lodge No. 12, I. O. O. F., will meet to night. German Volunteers have a special meet ing of importance to night. The wholesale dealers are already making arrangements for their fall stocks. The Interments In Charleston last week numbered 45—whites 10, colored The present indications are that business will oj>in up earlier than usual this fall. The assessment at the Police Court yes terday amounted to twenty-two dollars. The constable sale at Magistrate Elaln gerV Office to day will attract a large crowd. Editor Byrd, of the Blacksbear News, was registered at th? Marshall House yesterday. Among the freight by the 6tearner Katie from up the river yesterday were 72 barrels of honey. The naval stores sales yesterday amount ed to 487 barrels of rosin and ‘25 casks spirits of turpentine. There is one consolation about this drought. Physicians say a dry summer Is always healthy. Mr. M. A. O’Brien will open a summer school at the Cathedral school building on the Ist proximo. There is a brisk demand for rice at pre sent, and quotations for all grades were ad vanced yesterday. Lard advanced a quarter cent per pound yesterday, and the market closed firm with an upward tendency. The Chatham Artillery will have their new helmets In time for their visit to the Torktown Centennial. 1.263 barrels of rosin and 400 casks spirits of turpentine comprised the receipts of naval stores yesterday. The steamer Katie only went as far as Cohen’s Bluff on her last trip, owing to scarcity of water in the river. Messrs. N. Lovell and L. F. Goodsell were among the passengers by the City of Savannah from New York yesterday. A special meeting of the Republican Blues will be held to-morrow evening, when business of importance will be considered. Mark Gordon and James Phlnizee, a pair of colored arabs, were each fined $2 or seven days for the fun of throwing rocks in the 6treet. Nothing will now be done In regard to the walls around the Old Cemetery until De cember, when the matter will come before the courts. There was quite a number of strangers in the cltv yesterday from Valdosta, Quitman and Albany, as shown by the register of the Marshall House. The work of repainting and replastering the offices of the Mayor and Clerk of Coun cil was commenced yesterday. They are to be put In first class order. The leader of the Guards Band requests us to state that they have not been engaged for the entertainment at Concordia Park, on 2S:h instant, as announced. Among the passengers by the steamship City of Jvtvannah, which arrived yesterday, was William Hone, Esq., who has been North on business for some time. The colored Odd Fellows bad an excur sion to Montgomery yesterday, over the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad, and carried about three hundred persons. Mr. Edward Mclntyre, the efficient and gentlemauly general bookkeeper at the Central Railroad, is off on a brief vacation, which his many friends hope will prove en joyable. The tickets for the excursion of the Young Men’s Church Guild on the 9th of August are on sale, and can be obtained from any of the committee or at the places named in the advertisement. The new pavement ordinance was passed by Council some time ago, and it was pre dicted that dilatory parties would, under Its provisions, be compelled to put their sidewalks in order promptly. A horse belonging to Charles Lee, col ored, attached to a wagon, broke his hack by running into a car on the Coast Line Railroad, near the terminus, and died shortly afterwards from the effects. That excellent weekly, the Baltimorean, published at Baltimore city, by Mr. A. F. Crutchfield, contains in this week’s issue a handsome portrait of Gen. Geo. P. Har son, Jr., son of Gen. G. P.

He thicks this may be the return of the great comet observed from China in 1337, as its orbit is very similar. The porticos on the handsome residences of Messrs. A. S. Bacon and Jordan F. Broods, recently completed, and which are such an acquisition growing southern portion of the city, are of beautiful design, very elaborate, and are unlike anything here. Bobbing au Orchard—The Thieves Chased. Yesterday morning as Mr. John J. Wald hour, manager on the truck farm of Mr. F. A. Exley, a short distance from the city, was superintending some operations on the place, he discovered several negro lads moving through the watermelon patch to wards the peach trees. Immediately divin ing their object, Mr. Waldhour kept his op tics upon the ruthless robbers, who were utterly ignorant of his attentions. In a few minutes he saw the parties skin up the trees and proceed to pluck the tempting fruit. He then started for them, when they quickly dropped from the branches and precipitately fled tn tbe direction of the city. He ran into one of tbe tenants bouses and snatched up a gun, but found unfortunately that the weapon was out of repair. Throwing the useless piece aside, he renewed the pursuit with such vizor that the capture of one at least of the tnieves seemed probable. They were, however, running for liberty, and managed, after a heated chase, to escape. Narrow Escape from Drowning, Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o’clock, two colored men, who were coming up the river in a bateau loaded with water melons, had a very narrow escape from drowning. The boat was so heavily laden that she was sunk within a few inches of the surface of the water, acd had the ap pearance of being almost under the water. The City of Bridgeton had just started from her wharf, and caused such a dis placement of tbe water, that the watermelon craft was nearly filled The men commenced energetically to ball her out, and she would probably have reached her destination in safety had an nother wave cot washed into tbe bateau, causing her to sink boom foremost. Tbe owner of a small sloop at the Lower R ce Mill witnessed the capsize, and at once put out for the distressed erew, who were res cued. The men were pretty thoroughly drenched, but cared for tbat far less than for the loss of their melons. Fight iu a House. The slumbers of the denizens of Perry street lane near Reynolds street were dis turbed about half-past eleven o’clock last night by a fearful racket in a house on tbe lane, which caused a general gathering of the curious. It was found that Edward Griffin and Paul Quarterman, pugilistic warriors of the colored persuasion, were engaged in a regular combat. What might have been the result of the fray, had not a policeman put in appearance, cannot be stated. Probably the Coroner might have bad a job. Tbe knight of the club and 6tar, however, prevented a tragedy by arresting tbe warriors and prancing them off to the barracks. They will receive due consideration at the Police Court matinee tc-day. Assaulting Female. Yesterday morning, shortly before 12 o’clock, considerable excitement was cre ated on the street by the disorderly conduct of Edward Thompson, a colored warrior, who, from some cause, made a lively assault on Uslne YouDg, colored. Policeman Jatan sen meandering up just in tbe nick of time, snatched Edward bv the nape of tbe neck and waltzed him off to the barracks. Beware ol Substitute*.

The announcement that a bill would be introduced at the present session of the Legislature to consolidate the cilices of Sheriff and Jailer, and to place the iail under the charge of the Sheriff, resulted in &n expression of opinion on the subject from the Board of County Commissioners and the Board of Aldermen. Both bodies passed resolutions depre cating any change, and urging upon the representatives of Chatham to oppose such proposed bill. It seems, however, that there are a large number of persons who entertain a different view in regard to the matter, and do not approve of the action of either the Commissioners or Coun cil. Hence a petition very numerouslv signed by many of the most Influential and prominent citizens of Savannah Is to be forwarded to the representatives from this county, cordially approving the bill, and urgently asking its passage. It Is stated that a counter petition Is being circulated for signatures of those who ao approve the action of the Council and city authorities, and who are opposed to the consolidation of the offices, which will also be sent to the Legislature. i i

It behooves our citizens to exercise more than ordinary care now in seeing to the proper security of their premises. There have been quite a number of places broken into and robbed lately, and the sneak thieves and burglars 6eem to be having a sort of boom, as it were. On Monday night, shortly after one o’clock, the store of Joslah Lyod. corner of East Broad and Jones street lane, was en tered by some of those midnight marauders, who succeeded In getting off with a fine pistol and a box of cigars. There is to clue to the perpetrators, who were so skill ful and noiseless In their movements as not to disturb three men who slept In the house immediately adjoining. The residence of Mr. A. P Solomons, on Barnard street, was entered the same night through a rear window. The thief made a ha6ty haul, securing a coat, vest, watch and chain, some thirteen dollars in cur rency, and then departed happy. Tbe Great Centennial. All news about Yorktown is interesting, especially to those who will go from Savan nah. 8o far, the Chatham Artillery is the only company from this city that has an nounced their intention of attending. The Centennial Commission, it seems, has de termined to change the site of the monu ment from tbe lands of the association to a point nearer Yorktown, but that such a chaGge meets with no expressed objection on the part of the association, upon whose land will be the military encampment, the most attractive feature of the centennial. Quartermaster General Perlne, of New Jersey, has informed the Commission that his State will have a regiment of ten com panies of sixty five men each on tbe ground, and that the Adjutant General of Connecti cut has informed them that his State will be represented by the First Regiment of State troops and one company of the Governor’s Guards.

Dud A Co.’s mercantile Agency lnterview with JTolra Skerritt, Etq., tbe Savannah flan oger-One of the Most Extensive Business Firms on tbe Globe—An Establishment with Over Twenty* Five Thousand Employe*. We venture the opinion that whilst there are but few people of Savannah, especially among business classes, unacquainted with the Mercantile of R. G. Dun Cos., who have conducted a branch in this city sicca 1874, seven years ago, yet the magni tude of the operations and business of the firm are comparatively unknown, aud the details thereof would astODish hundreds who imagine they have a correct idea on the subject. Thi6 is not surprising, however, as, from the pri vate nature of their business, tbe prying eye of public curiosity has never been folly apprised of the magnitude of its tireless labors and the novel and marvelous agen cies of its Internal workings. To those who rightly comprehend the immerse Import ance of this substantial factor in the dis semination of credits, and to those who have hitherto contented themselves with a faith In, rather than a knowledge of the facts of this system, it may be not only useful but pleasing to be introduced to some of the curious mlnutim by which the genius and labors of this well known firm have carried their business into nearly every quarter of the globe: With this object In view, a representa tive of the Morning News yesterdry called upon Mr. John Skerritt, the effi cient and papular manager of the Sivannah district, at his rooms, Bull street, corner of Bay, and received a cordial greeting. The object of the visit was at once made known, and Mr. Skerritt cheer fully consented to Initiate the newspaper man Into the mysteries of the gigantic sy6- tem, which proved exceedingly interesting. We learned that the Savannah district comprises sixty counties In Georgia and twenty-five counties In Florida, and the re cords embrace a complete though condensed history of all firms within that area from 1841, the date of the organi zation of the agency. This information, furnished by reliable correspondents, is re corded in books for the purpose, and can readily be referred to. JThese reports are re vised semi-annually by the agency, but, ad interim, if any subscriber desires to be in formed as to the standing of 6ome individ ual or firm after the semi-annual returns, special reports are obtained and furnished him. For Instance, the semi-annual re ports or revises are received In July, at which time a party’s financial 6tandiog may be perfectly good and his credit high. A month or six weeks later a subscriber, who may be apprehen sive that something may have occurred to change the rating, writes the agency, and the correspondent at that point is instructed to report the exact present status of the party inquired abou*. The interview was quite lengthy, and to the interviewer was exceedingly interesting, and, believing that it will be equally so to the readers of the Morning News, the principal points of Im portance as gleaned are given substantially as follows: News—How loDg 6ince your agency was established* Manager Skerritt—This agency is the original _ Mercantile Agency established in 1840 by Lewis Tappan, being much older than any competitor, with the accumulated knowledge, experience and growth of busi ness represented by an existence of over forty years. Q —How many branches have you* A.—We have eighty-seven branches in the cities of the United States, Canada and Europe, with reporting stations In Aus tralia Honolulu, Asia and South America. Q —What is the working force and num ber of patrons A —The force varies slightly with the seasons, but the average number working directly and indirectly would not fall short of twenty-two thousand. Tbe number of subscribers exceed twenty-five thousand, creating an annual expenditure and dis bursement of nearly two million dollars. Q. —What is, clearly, the nature of your business* A —We undertake to procure for our patrons, to the best of our ability. Informa tion as to the pecuniary condition and character of such parties as they have or reasonably expect to transact business with. In other words, we undertake to do for busi ness men as a body what, without our as sistance, each one would have to do, or en deavor to do, by independent efforts for himself. Q. —l*n’t the work very complicated A. —To some extent. In working a sys tem 60 wide in Its scope, and of a character involving so much detail, it Is reasonable to expect that many difficulties are encount ered which could not be provided for at the outset, yet every year has witnessed 6ome additional improvement of Its facilities by the experience and interchange of opinions of its various branches. Q —What number of names do you re port? A. —The reference book was issued on the first of July and contained upwards of 800,000 names. It thoroughly illustrates the activity and watchfulness necessary to handle this vast number of names, wbeu it is stated tbat the number of business changes occurring and noted daily, average over fifteen hundred: that, in addition to these, the inquiries answered average five thousand per day, while the number of de tailed reports made and entered in the re cords of all the offices, will not fall short of fifteen thousand. Q —ls the company ever charged with perverting facts or acting with malice in its work A.—Many people speak of the great power in the hSnds of the agency for good or evil and the mischief they can do when so dis posed. To every reasoning man, it must readily appear that the very tenure and life of the agency depends upon its truthfulness and general correctness. No bouse, with a business, which costs millions a year, could afford to trifle, in this way, with its own supporting power. A stronger motive to deal fairly can hardly be imagined, for our very existence depends upon It. We have thousands of the most flattering testimo nials from the best firms of every city of the Union, testifying to our efficiency and re liability. In naany cases these connections have continued through a period of thirty years. No other agency has such a record. These testimonials are published by us in book form, and may be had upon applica tion. Q —ls your agency being extensively used at Savannah A —The agency was never so relied upon as at present. The pressure upon us for in foi matlon throughout the present year has been enormous, but the facilities which a liberal patreuage enables us to control have been adequate to meet the increased re quirements of our subscribers. Q —Wbat amount of capital is employed by the company A.—Their capital is more than ample, and we are the only agency tbat can say so with truth. During all tiie financial con vulsions of the past ten or fifteeu years, the wreck and ruin of other Institutions, this agency has steadily advanced, displacing old theories with new and improved facili ties, and adding to its Increasing useful ness the enormous revenue which It yearly commands. Q —Are not your reports largely made by travelers, and do you personally superin tend the work of your own district A. —For the present year the entire agency system has been operated by travelers. In my own district 1 have had two skilled re porters to travel over a large part of the ter ritory. I have personally visited and revised about twenty counties myself. This labor has been very comprehensive, Including ob scure villages remote from railroads, cross roads stores, etc.; in fact, every locality has been visited whose trade is tributary to Sa vannah. Some idea of the amount of this class of work may be formed when 1 tell you that during the past, six months we have expended over #1,500 in traveling alone In the Savannah district. Q —ln such apparent prosperous times as now exist, are the services of the agency as much in demand as in more precarious times? A. —It is in circumstances such as just now prevail, that the agency can be made most serviceable. Tbe sudden transition from a long and severe depression, to a condition of the highest prosperity, may be productive of other things besides large profits, enhanced values and improved prospects. While the debt paying power of numerous traders has been Im mensely Increased bv the revival of trade, it must not be forgotten that there are thousands of business men whose eondition nine months ago was well nigh hopeless. The condition of this class can not have been transformed from chronic In security to entire safety by the magic of a few brief months of renewed confidence and unwonted activity in trade. The hard cir cumstantial facts which tbe agency records contain are, therefore,worth far more In de ciding a credit, than any fanciful improve ment which the glamour of the good times throws over the condition of many an appli cant for accommodation. These facts are freshened bv the hourly record of occur rences, and their accuracy Is tested and con firmed by constant use in the business experience of a list of subscribers whose inquiries are over five thousand per day. There were many other topics discussed, among them the growth of the business of the agency here, the increase since Mr. Skerritt assumed management In 1877 being fully fifty per cent, lu the above succinct account the many features dis cussed In the interview are touched upoD. The firm also conduct an extensive collec tion business,having collected over #25,000,- 000 since belDg established. They also issue two daily bulletins of mercantile changes, and record items. Everything is operated systematically, and each department has its special attention. They have a large mass of Information on band, covering a con siderable part of the Southern and Western territory, aud bound In a series of volumes, arranged In handsome cases. Taken as a whole, It appears as a perfect system and a tribute to American industry and genius. SPRINGFIELD’S GALA DAT. The Farmers’ Annual Dinner—Ora tory and Good Cheer—Sympathy lor the President—A Carolina Teacber’a Counsel. Eotpt, Ga., July 23. —Editor Morning News: Agreeable to the long established custom of the citizens of old Effingham, a large crowd, estimated at from one thousand to fifteen hun dred persons, assembled at Springfield on last Wednesday, the 20th instant, to spend the day and enjoy themselves at what is called the an nual social gathering, or farmers’ dinner. At these gatherings it is customary to have from young men and others short speeches upon such subjects of interest as they may select for the occasion. At 11 o clock, H. P. Brewer. Esq from the Committee of Arrangements, announced from the stand the programme for the day, and, after a short and appropriate prayer by Rev. Mr. Mingledorff, a young graduate of Oxford, introduced to the audience J. D.Griner, also a student at that institution, who, having chosen as his theme the old and hackneyed subject Education, convinced his hearers that, though young in years, and then making his maiden effort at public oratorv, he was not at a loss for something to say to his fellow county boys on this important, subject bv wav of stimu lating them to efforts of cultivating and im proving their minds. This young man bids fair to make his mark in the world in the not far distant future, and to become an honor to his parents and a sa'isfaction to his friends. Angus E. Bird, Esq son of Col. E Bird, our present Representative in the Legislature, was next introduced, and entertained the audience for a half hour, taking as his theme “Work.” We have not space to give even a synopsis of this address, but suffice it to say it was a mas terpiece of practical good sense, showing the advantages of machine over hand work, all of which inventions were the results of study and investigation. Prof. S. S. Uahn, of Newberry College, South Carolina, was then introduced. The writer, whose pleasant duty it was to introduce the speaker to the audience, could not refrain from induleing in some flattering references to the history of this young man, whom he had known from boyhood, with whom he had served in the same company through the war, and when peace was declared, returned home, like many other boys, poor, and without any education. Possessing energy, however, that essential prerequisite to success, he set out with a determination to have an education. His friends seeing that he possessed talent of a high order assisted him, and having entered the preparatory department of Newberry Col- lege, he rose step by step until he graduated, in the meantime studving for the ministry, aud graduating in that department, which was at that time connected with the college. At this time Mr. Rahn is Professor of Languages in his old alma mater, and has the care of some chucches, to which he preaches, we are told, with great success. His address on this occasion was not upon any set subject, but was the outpouring of feeling and encouragement to the youth of his old home to press forward, apply them selves to the seeking of knowledge,and receive an education which is in the reach of any one who determines to have it. At the close of Prof. Rahn’s address, on motion of Dr Norton, resolutions of sympathy for and expressive of the hope of a speedy re covery of President Garfield were passed unanimousiy. A recess of two hours was then had, during which well stored baskets were brought into requisition, the precious contents of which were disposed of in a manner satis factory to the inner man. In the afternoon Col. Rawls, who is always ready to respond to a call for an impromptu, was loudly called for, and entertained the crowd for a short t'me m his usual happy style, at times eliciting an outburst of applause and laughter at his witticisms. In conclusion, he referred in a touching manner to the appro priateness of the resolutions passed in the fore noon in regard to President Garfield’s recovery, a3 he hoped they met a hearty response from every true Southron in this broad land. Mr. Slater, of Bulloch county, a young gradu ate of tbe Athens branch of the State Univer versity. was then called on and made a most noble effort at oratory. He is a young man of great promise, and if he continued to improve himself and cultivate his powers of oratory, which are truly remarkable, old Bulloch will, in a few yearH.be entitled to claim that she Jeared the Demosthenes of tbe YViregrass. Thus ended the exercises of the day, and all re turned to their homes feeling profited by the social intercourse of the day and the entertain ments afforded by the young speakers. R. The editor of the Pittsburgh /{(publican, A. Heilman, E-q personally referred in that journal to his own aggravated case of rheumatism of two years duration, which was cured by St. Jacobs Oil solely.
