Apalachicola Tribune: “Mr Lane, the first

was fed on broth. Becoming tired of this
mode of treatment, he informed the mate that
he was ready to go to work, provided he was
given an easy j ib. He was informed that
there was no light work—it was all heavy.
Jensen then went down into the fore
castle swearing that he would not do a
li.-k of work. Mr. Line ordered him
out. He refused to obey. Mr. Lane then
went down into the foreca-t’e, when Jensen
picked up a Kuife and ran at the officer The
mate eluded the now desperate and enraged
sailor's clutches and sprang on deck. Jensen
after him. Just as he reached the deck his
foot slipped and he fed Jensen then jumped
on the officer and in the scuffl-* that ensued
succeeded in cutting Mr. L s left arm very
hadly. Mr Lane then managed to get away
from bis antagonist, and procuring a pistol
shot at Jensen, the ball making a slight tUsh
wound in Jensen's lock. After this Jen en
was s-cured and brought to town to aw-ait the
action of the proper authorities.”

bound for Enterprise. The gentleman seemed
witd and incoherent from the first, and was
undoubtedly laboring under mental aberration
He made continuous and vague inquiries, and
was wtp at midnight, saying to some
of the office; s there was a plot to
throw him overboard; that parti -s
were trying to enter his sister's state room,
were endeavoring to steal his money, etc. He
also asked if anybody had ever been drowned
by jumping overboard. He went on the upper
decs before breakfast, as the st-amer had
reached the third bend below Volusia, walked
to the aft of the deck, pulled off his coat and
laid it down, and deliberately jumped off. He
was seen as he went down by some on the
lower deck, and a boat was immediately low
ered before the steamer could be stopped, but
after swimming a short distance toward the
shore he sank, and was seen no more. The
officers of the Rosa deeply regretted the occitr

NEARING THE END.
JUDGE PORTER PAINTING GUI
TEAU AND HIS CRIME.
A Scathing Arraignment Despite
Counsel’* Feeble Condition—Char
acteristic Interruptions by the
Assassin.
Washington,-' January 23.— The court
room was packed to day, and hundreds were
unable to gain admission. Judge Porter
commenced the closing argument.
Guiteau, as nsual, had the opening speech
for the day, in the course of which he served
the following notice upon Judge Porter :
“Now, in regard to Judge Porter I want
to say. as he Is to have the closiDgof the
c-ise, if he attempts to mislead the court or
the jury I and my counsel will stop him.
H-* came on this case under a misapprehen
sion on the part of General Arthur, other
wise he would not be In the case. He don’t
properly represent the government. He
only represents himself.”
Judee Porter’s bodily weakness was plain
to everyone, and he could scarcely be heard
except by the jury and those Immediately
around him. “Thus far.” he said, “the
trial ha practically been conducted by the
prisoner and Mr. Scoville. Everyone has
been denounced at their will, and even now
I am inf rmed that I will be interrupted by
them both.”
Judge Porter briefly recited the disorder,
abuse and slander to which every one upon
the c se had for twomonthsbeen subjected,
“and yet,” be said, “of the thrpe speeches
which have been made by the defense I will
do the prisoner the justice to say that his
was the least objectionable.”
After sketching the circumstances leading
up to the crime, and painting with fervid
language the damning wickedness of Its
execution. Judge Porter turned his atten
tion to the prisoner, and proceeded to de
pict his character. “A heggar, a hvpocri’e,
a robber and a swindler, a lawyer who
ha 1 never won a cause. No court., no jurv
failed to see in him a dishonest ro-?iie, and
such men cannot win causes. He hs left
his trail of infamv in a hundred dirpcMons.
A man who, as a lawyer, had such notions
of morality that when he had
taken debts to collect, and collected
’hem by dogging the debtor, he held
them against his clients; a man who was
capable of blasting the name of *he woman
with whom he had slept for years and still
recognized a* his wife; a man who, when
tired of this woman, pretending to he a
Cbristi in and a believer in thf B'ble, looked
In the book and re id, ‘Tbou shall no’ com
mit adultery,’ and then went out and de
liberately committed adultery with street
walkers; a man who pushed himseif into
the fellowship of Christian associations as a
follower of the Baviour, when fresh from
six years of fornication in the Oneida Com
munity.”
Guiteau—“That lie ought to chose you.”
As Judge Porter proceeded with a resist
less torrent of denunciation and invective,
the prisoner occasionally called out “That’s
a lie ” “Tta’’s abso’utt-ly false,” or, “That
ain’t so.”
After showing who and what the mur
derer was. Judge Porter next described the
victim, paying a slowing tribute to ’he
character and services of the lamented
President, and pronouncing a most touch
ing eulogy upon his memory.

ton report says : “Future deliveries ot the
first call were bought 5-100 below last
Saturday’s closing quotations, and declined
another 4-100, but regained the last loss,
and at the second call brought as much as
at the first. What we have urged repeated
ly, namely, that 12 for middling upland is
higher than Liverpool, and that the value
of futures depends upou that of spot cotton,
Is being realized, February having already
been told to-day.at 11.98.”

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1882.
CLARKSON N. POTTER.
Ann'her Victim to Bright’s Disease.
New Yoke, January 23. —Hon. Clarkson
N. Potter died thh morning.
On Tuesday last Mr. Potter appeared in
the Court of Appeals in Albany to argue a
railroad case. He had talked for about ten
minutes wben he was compelled to stop,
but at the request of hl9 associate resumed
his argument. He broke down again
and started over to the door of
the cloak room, and would have
fallen had not an attendant caught him.
Mr. Potter was in a few moments removed
to the library of the Court of Appeals and
placed in a comfortable position. He ac
quainted the doctors with the fact that be
had taken no food during the day, and his
Illness was attributed to a slight disorder of
the s'omaeh. He fank rapidly, however,
and in half an hour was in a semi uncon
scious condition. As soon as arrangements
could be made he was removed in a car
riage to the Delevan House, where every
thing possible was done for his comfort.
He rallied toward evening, and topes were
entertained of his speedy recovery; hut, the
n*-xt day his condition was fgain alarming,
and he sank into semi ins-nsibtlity. His
brother, the R-*v. Eliphalet Nott Potter,
President of Union College, and other male
relatives were summoned, and it was deem
ed absolu'ely necessary that Mr. Potter be
at once removed to his home in New York
city, where every detail of perfect attend
ance could be supplied. A drawing room
car was fitted up > xpressly for the patient’s
comfort; he was wrapped carefully in
woolen blankets and was placed in the car,
and, accompanied by relatives, started tor
New York
One of the physicians who attended Mr.
Po’ter stated that Mr. Potter’s inability to
converse had for some time served to baf
fle the physicians in their efforts to deter
mine the r>ot, of his illness It seems, how
ever, that M r . Po te r , vome two years ago,
suffered a slight a'tack of kidney disease.
Unwise depend-nee upon a robust constitu
tion anil naturally perfect, health, and tie
gleet f)f proper clothing, doubtless sowed
the seeds of a di-ease that needed but, some
such personal neglect as that of Tuesday
morning to develop. Mr. Potter wore no
under clothing, aud on the day he was
stricken with illness had on a pair of low
eu' light shoes From the symp oms at.
first shown it was thought that his only
trouble was nervous prostration, but his
long continu ,noe in a semi-unconscious
sta’e led to the belief that his disease was
seated in a chronic difficulty of the kidneys
in the nature of Brigh'’s disease.
SET DEAD TO RIGHTS.
The I’lilted mate* Circuit Court for
Alabama Put NtraSgb'.
Washington, January 23.—The United
States Su; rente Court to-day decided the
case of the application of Peter M. Rowland
et al , County Commissioners of Chambers
coun'y, Alabama, for a writ of habeas
corpus to procure the release of the County
Commissioners of Chambers county, who
had been fined and imprisoned by order of
the United States Circuit Court for
alleged contempt, in refusing and neglect
ing to collect a special tax, which
said court, had ordered for the purpose
of satisfying a judgment, The return of the
Coraml-sioners to a peremptory writ of man
damns set forth that they had levied the
tax as directed and had instructed tint Tax
Colector to collect if, but that, the latterhad
refused to do so for the reason that the law
did not require him to qualify and give
bonds for the collection of special taxes.
The Uoifed S’ates rircuit Court held this
return to be insufficient, declared the com
mtssioners to be in contempt, imposed a fine
upon them and committed them to prison
until such line should he paid. Their re
lease is sought by the present petition for
a writ of habeas corpus.
This court holds that in duly levying the
taxes an<l putting it into the hands of the
Tax Co'lector, the C mnty Commissioners
performed their whole duty. Ttiat, thi-
County Conr missloners were not, properly
chargeable with the collection of taxes, aud
could no’ be rt quired by mandamus t3com
pel the Collector to do his duty,
If he neglected it. It was in the
power of the judgment credi
tors to proceed by mandamus against
the Collector directly'tf he would not col
lect tax, but the Commissioners could not
be held responsible for his failure to do so.
In ordering the arrest and punis* ment of
the Commission-rs for not doing what the
law did not require them to do, the United
States Circuit Court exceeded its jurisdic
tion, and its order is void. The writ of ba
beas corpus must he granted unless the par
ties are willing that an order of discharge
be entered without further proceed! igs.

Nashville, January 22—The river has
reached a point seven inches above the rise
of 1847, making fifty-five feet three inches.
A large amount of drift is tl sating down the
river, with now and then small bridges,
which spanned the streams in the upper

setting through No theast, Nashville and
carrying away lumber and houses.
The river rose to such a point as to
force a large additional number of families
out of their homes. The people are grati

Hartwell, Ga., Feb. 10, IoBL
I want to say a good word for Brown’s
Iron Bitters. lam about sixty years of age:
have warehouse, railroad and newspaper
work to do. I have been taking and
various other kinds of whisky bitters to
give me an appetite, and the only appetite I
got was one for drink. Rev. Mr. Anderson,
the presiding elder for the district, stopped
with me not long ago, suffering
with dyspepsia. I ggt iitui Brown’s Iron
Bitters. They uredliim. After he left I
conceded to take that remaining iu tiye

PRINCETON COLLEGE
Statement* Prfjndlcla! to Yliat lii-
Miltuilou C -rrected.
Princeton, N. J., January 19 —Editor
Morning News: In your issue of the 14th
Inst, there appeared a news extract in ref
erence to the state of affiirs said to be
existing in Princeton College. Your source
of information is not stated, but, neverthe
less, that extract containscertain statements
which, to say the leas’, are decidedly un
called for, as well as erroneous.
I do not refer to the fact that certain
freshmen, at the close, of the la-=t terra,
brought themselves and their college so un
favorably into public notice. Nor is it de
nied that legal proceedings have been
threatened and taken in this particular
instance.
I desire to refer, however, to the conclud
irg remarks of the extract In question. If
It was ’rue that “the only notice taken by
the college was to suggest to thC misbehav
ing students the txpediency of a few days’
absence,” then. Indeed, the faculty would
deserve tbe censure which have been heapt and
upon them pv prejudiced cu’siders. Those
who have been In anyvav connected with
this college know that advice in such a case
is compuDory, and, instead of a “few days’
absence,” the off -nders do not re’urn again
as students to Princeton.
The statement that our “discipline has
become of the basest character” only shows
that the one who penned that extract, has
permitted his feelings to master his common
sense. Final’y, be it said, discipline of s
high order is maintained, even over tho?e
“influential students” who in that, extract
were supposed to do as they please. In
jusMce to present s‘u len’s, an l those now
tn who are graduates from Prince
ton C dlege, these fa"ts are re-pectfudy sub
mi'ted by An Undergraduate.
Guiteau's I’lea.
The case just, decided by the Court of
Appeals of New Yo k, aud cited by Guiteau
as mpporting his theory of the law of In
sanity, does not appear to s rengthen bis
defense very greatly. The appellan’, con
v’eted of assault with intent to kill, appeal
ed from the rulings of the lower court on
the ground—first, that the Judge charged
“'hat the defeD.se of insani'y is an affirma
tive defense, and the prtsouer is bound to
satisfy the jury by proof that he was
insane;’’ and, second, that he erred in re
fusing to charge that the defendant wa
ert’tled to the fW.efit of any reasonable
doubt arising on tbe evidence as to satiity or
insanity. The Court, of Appeals, however,de
cided that, nt i'her of these points was well
taken. The ques-ti >ns upon the trial, say
(he CrU’t of Appeals, ‘were, first, the acts
cbargeit committed bvthe prisoner; second,
at the time of the commission was he in
such a condi ion of mind as to be responsi
ble for them? If answered in the sfflrma
five, the acts constituted crime and thee m
vletion was proper. As to each, therefore,
the burden was upon the prostcutors, for
upon tbe existence of both the guilt of the
prisoner depended This result follows the
general rule of evidence which requires him
who asserts a fact to prove it. That the
first proposition is established is not denied,
the legal presumption that every man is sane
was sufficient to sustain the o:her until re
pelled, and the charge of the Judge, criti
cised in the first point, made by tbe appel
lant, goes no fqrther.”
The Ocean Carrying Trade.—A
New York letter Buys: “So far as the
ocean carrying trade is cone rued “
must now be New York
has ceased to beep, American port. The
fact j“ humiliating tq one’s American
pride, but the statistics of the past year
tell theip owu story. Thus, while Brit
ish Belgian, Austrian. Danish, D'“ .
French. German. Italian. orwe^a *
Portuguese, Spanish. Swedish and even
Russian vest’s divided among them
selves some SB,OOO OOQ of freights from
grain alone within the period m ntioned,
not a solitary bushel of grain, not a
barrel of provisions, went abroad
from this harhor uudcY the American
flag. This ia going from bad to
worse, inasmuch as during the year pre
vious, out of a total of 113,346,163 bush
els of gram stuffa from New York,
American vessels bad at least 1,328,436.
Again, in 1880, there’were seven nation
alities that carried less than we did. but
in 1881 all these have bounded ahead and
left the stars and stripes literally no
where. I repeat, therefore, this has
cessed to be an American port, so f r as
ocean commerce is concerned. The
British, as usual, got the lion’s share of
last, year’s business, their proportion of
grain freights amounting to about 62 per
cent, of the grand total against 57 per
cent, the year previous. The Norwe
gians are next on the list, notwithslan'l
ing the fact that their trade is wholly in
sail vessels.”
Notwith tandiug all the fuss the Chi
nese have made under tbe pretence of
keeping opium out of the country, it
now turns out that for hundreds of years
the central and western provinces of
China have cultivated the poppy to an
enormous extent. A single province
produces as much opium as th total In
dian importation, which is 8,000 tons an
nually.

dam Friendship Burled.
Near Cartkrsville, Ga., January 19. 1882.
Editors Constitution; Your paper of to-day,
containing Mr. Hill's long delayed letter, is to
hand. Allow me to thank you for your kindly
offer to admit my reply to this voluminous re
joinder in your columns I hope I shall not be
oblieed to tx your generosity again. I shall
only reply to attacks on my character. As I
said before, Mr. Hilt is entirelv welcome to
abuse the Independents; nobody objects
unless it may be the party, of wh ch he is the
mouthpiece. *
Permit a word in justice to H. W. Grady. In
publishing Mr Hill’s interview he txpressiy
stated it was done with “his (Hill’s) under
standing and consent - ’ Mr. Hill did not deny
it when he read it in print, nor does he deny it
now. What he may do hereafter nobody can
tell I know I speak public sentiment when I
say Mr. Grady would have much improved this
letter of the 14th The interview was good
reading—sharp, spicy, and the letter is not
what was even expected of Mr Hill. It was
a cruel thing you did, Messrs. Editors, in put
ting out a notice of its expected appearance
day by day. Every organized brother who
could raise a nickel rushed to the era every
morning to get the paper in which Senator Hill
was to prove “old Felton” a “Radical;” in

only a synopsis of the interview itseff, and
while it i- at your disposal at any time, it is
uncalled for at this writing.
With this treacherous letter and the Grady

after it appeared on Saturday before I mailed

on Sunday, and I stood at the telegraph office

to need fu'ther notice here Now. this puz
zling demagogue has the audacity to affirm he
made no attack on me whatever Has the man
bee 'me insane that he should thus belie him
self?
It would be a curiosity in literature or mor
alstoseehis definition of truth or friendship,
as exemp'ifted in his words and actions.
As to his lengthy r> view of what he did for
me in "four” Congressional campaigns. I shall
rot bore you with anything mere than the
facts to show you the falsity' of bis charg*
that I was alwpys on my knees before his
majesty, to entreat bis good offices in my be
half, and I shall only peed his own testimony
to do so. His own mouth shall speak tor him
and not another Id) not suppose his vanity
and self importance ever led him t think o" f
the injury a self-appointed and self-commis
sioned ambassador might do. between bel
ligerents, wh > found his well meant efforts
very much in their way and of no particular
benefit. “A man’s praises have a v ry musi
cal and charming sound from the mouth of
another, but they sound a little flit
and untunable in his own”—says Zeno
phen, ad with all Mr. Hill’s brilliancy,
it is possible to feel somewhat surfeited with
so much self praise, and while I would be the
last man to point out to him a-y kindness or
favor done to himself, it would be a wholesome
lesson to him to remember that help can be
come a very onerous thing, when it is done to
be able to give you a slap, because of it. No*
let us see the record. Mr. Hill need not sneer
at a scrap hook—f ir you will need nothing
more to flior him in any argument or state
ment of fac's He can permit bimelf con
tradicted by himself with more equanimity
than anv man who ever lived. He actually
rushes into print to convict h me!f of a false
hood and deceit—and yet comes up to a fresh
a'tack ssmiling as ever.
In 1874 he nether appeared in print or in
person to aid me. (He proposes to show he
• imperilled his own ■•tanding” in his p rtv to
helo me). His “standing” was so g.>ed at that
time—he was published as one of Co’onel
Dibnev’s speakers agains’ me. He told me
afterwards he di • not appear because ha loved
me so much; and I believe it.
In he did a li tie more. That was t“e
year the Legislature was to be elected, which
was to make him United States Senator. What
he did vou will find in your files under date of

signed, Renj H. Pill. I furnish an extract:
“I ' 1878 I greatly desired to see this hreaeh
reconciled. Without explaining to iiiiu my
i urpose, I had a conversation with him in
Washington. I found him anxious to be in
harmony with his party, hut unable to se>-
how he <ould make an advance to bring a out
harnrny. He teemed to think that the orly
purpose of some who had control of the party
machinery was to us- it, t liumilia'e and de
feat him in a spirit of reve ge. I came home
and made it convenient, to vi it Cartersville on
the day 'he executive committee met o call
the convention. • (Remembar, iie was a candi
date himself for the Seriate) I endeavored to
a-certain if Dr Felton’s apprehen inns were
correct. I asked the chairman would he <Fel
ton) stand any chance if he expressed a will
ingness to go before it. ‘None in th- world:
we are g ling to have a convention expressly
to bent hi n, and will crush him out by a
maj trity of five thousand '• ”
Now. Messrs Editors, I certainly did not
‘send” Mr. Hill, as he affirms he never ex
plained his purpose to me. and I was found to
be correct in saying to him 'he party ma
chinery was used to defeat me What sane
man would ask another to go upon such a
rj liculous errand?
What he said to them (the committee) I
know not, hip no man rose up to say I sought
the nomt ation then or since.
Now, g ntlemen, what are we to infer from
this man’s wi and assertions? So long trained to
make the "worse appear the beft-r reason ”
he actually tells an uut utn to “‘ander me. ’
I was anxious for barrr>r,ny. I made a pro
position mvseif. ninely: If eaoh voter would
indorse or. the back of hi- gubernatorial ticket
the October election the na r ne of >ho •'
they desired to make their CV>ngi-*-'
November, 1 would abide e- _ ...-man in
asked was the " ~ - . ci \' on I
not the de-isiou tyf *-■ ■ v '“ *h ß people.
When this " k < terB , .
they pie' proposition ws p esented, did
aw ,i ..veit? They threw it hack in dis lain,
..iring it an “insult to the party.” This is
matter of record, and represents the whole
truth.
Senator Hill so greatly “imperilled his stand
ing inthepartv” that the party elected him
to the Senate the next January I could tell
him of a friend he had at that time, but self
laudation is his special prerogative.
In 1878, when this “Sense for the Seventh”
appeared, he told the Ringgold Convention to
nominate me, but was fair enough to sav this
pr posal “would astonish nobody more” than
mvseif, which whs true—emphatically.
I had no idea of asking such a thing from a
body organized "especially to bat me.” Dr
Stephens, now deceased, and Col. Frink Gray,
of Atlanta, then of this countv. came to me
and desire! to know if I would permit my
name voted on at that convention. I dec'ined.
If that convention had endorsed me and ap
proved my course in Congress, I should have
been gratified, as I was likewise grateful to all
men—all parties—all citiz-ns, white and col
ored, for a similar endorsement at the polls. I
should, cenainly, however, have felt no more
gratitude to them than I would to the same
number of citizens living in the district.
Messrs Editors, it is very clear 1 did not send
Mr. Hill to make any such proposition—nor
can anybody picture me on my knees, pleading
with him to ask for what I so respectfully de
elined.
Now we come down to 1880. I was jogging
along with my usual canvass, when a etter
dated July lbth was received from Mr. Hill. I
have it before me:
“Dear Doctor: I want to see you. Some sug
gestions have been made touching the canvass
in the 7th which I think are worthy of your
consideration. * * • I think an arrange
ment can be made to make an easy time for
you in this race, but we can do nothing with
out first knowing your views and fee ings.
“[-igned] Bknj. H. Hiix.”
Now, Messrs Editors, it is my time to aston
ish you. It is clear I did not "send” him to ask
anything, hut he “sent” for me. The proposi
tion was this: I was to pledge mi self not to
run again, and no nomination would be made
in the district.
I declined. I had no authority to pledge the
noble Independents who had honored me so
long to any political trade. I could not refuse
mv services if they demanded them.
This proposition is not understood by me un
til this day. What it mea't or how far it reach
ed is a matter for the future to disclose. T hat
refusal wa-t, in my opinion, the beginning of a
campaign that knows no parallel iu Georgia or
out of it.
It pleases the Senator to expatiate on my
soreness in defeat. I admit there was no ap
parent regret in hie face or actions—if not a
matter of rejoicing with him—be did not evi
dence any particular grief—and I am frank to
ESTABLISHED 1850,
say, he was not troubled with me or my "ill
nature” enough to speak authoritatively on the
subject.
Iu closing this part of my reply, I confess it
has been tedious, but I wish to state facts
clearly and pi> cisely. If he offered my name
to any convention, he did it on his own author
ity and. as I understood hts course, to benefit
the organization, without injuring myself.
Any other theory p'aces him in an odious light
to both myself ana the party he obeyed. Anv
othr motive would do no credit to either head
or heart. If he fee's so aggrieved at my reply
to his assault as to ask public sympathy and
parade his migh'y efforts in my behalf. I also
feel sorry that his mind does not dwell longer
on the motive that impelled that “Grady inter
view" Having relieved himself of my presence
in Washington, did it become necessary to
strike me down among my neighbors and
friends? Am I still in the way? Although he
proposes lo fight his friends instead of his ene
mies, and that from an elevation, it will do no
harm to remind him
“ To brag of benefits one hath bestown.
Doth make the te st seem less and the most
seem none.
So oftentimes the greatest courtesy
Is by the doer made an injury.”
Senator Hill, when he goes out to battle,
much mistakes the temper of the opposition if
he supposes he is to fire away at sand-bags and
hear no sound in reply.
“Th“ wav to procure insults is to suhmit to
them,” and I don’t propose to take a single one
from him. He made a charge. I made a coun
ter charge. He filed to support his charge
with the proof, but I do not propose to omit
my proof on any such occasion. When he
threw a firebrand, ha ought to have been care
ful enough to wipe the tar from his own fingers,
as it may burn, and he has nobody to thank but
himself for the scorching
Senator Hill charged I was “dishonest” in
mv attitude to the Democracy of Georgia. I
charged he was d'shone t in his representation
of the people and the party in the Senate.
Does he deny his independent canvass in the
Ninth? Does he deny hisdoubL-dealing, false
fri *nd-hip and g-eed of money in he Colquitt-
Mnrphey enihreglio?
Dors he deny his attitude to President Hayes
or hts denunciation of that gentleman there
after?
Why? He knows why, and you know why,
Messrs. Fditors
Doe* h“ ever palliate or excuse, ever so
• feeMy,” the vote on the Pacific Railrosd ford
in ■ hill, and his advocacy of the same before
the Supreme Court?
T et me tell you something about that speech
hefore the Supreme Court. The bill intro

cated hy Senators Bayard and Fdmunds. was

of corporate powers, va uahle franchises ard
mihlic lands equal in ac-es to the seven smaller
Sra’es of the Union, the government issued
at and delivered to the Pacific Railroad Com-
P’nies, bonds amounting to S'lndOO^O —unon
whieh the tax pavers of this country must con
tinue to pay for thirty years from ’heir date,
semi annuallv, inte est exceeding three mil

these bonds upon a Fecond mortgage

sinking fund of 5 per cent, of the net earnings
of the road, the principal and interest, amount
ing to about one hundred and sixtv-flve mil
lin'-s of do'lars. would have been lost to the
•ax payers of this country at the end of thirty
years, and which at that time would have
‘■welled the unhrjv gains of this tailread mo
nopoly. This Thurman hill, requiring the pay
ment o'these lawful dues to the government,
is the bill that Mr. Hill opposed by his vote in
the S-nate.
A short time thereafter he appeared in the
Supreme Court to show reason whv the road
hou'd be protected nd the people robb“d.
The peor ie. thro- gh their Representatives, de
clared the road should pav its dues, and the
whole bench of Judges, with one solitary ex
ceotion, declared their act lawful and constitu
tionel
As I was sitting at my desk one dav some
gentlemen came to me and told me Me Hill
was then sneaking in the Supreme Court
against the hill—for be it remembered there
were only two members of the House of Rep
resentatives who dared to vote “gainst it in
that body—namely, B. F Butler, o* Massachu
setts. and Mr Lynde. of Wisconsin, both re
ported to be at'ornevs for the road. I went to
the court room to satisfy myse f. a“d there I
found mv fears realized. A Senator from
Georgia working for a fee—to prevent a mo
nopoly from refunding the money paid as in
terest on their bonds bv the hard working men
of Georgia and elsewhere!
Thousands toil on these old red fields of
Georgia at fiftv cents a dav to raise th>t
money-and I affirm boldly to Mr Hill and this
country that he did not represent the people
who s°nt him to the Senate, in this matter, and
th- y ought, to know it.
I re- embered also, some man approached
Peter when his master was on trial and said to
him “Thou also art a Galilean—tliy speech
betraveth thee 1 ”
Lest I should be asked, “Art thou also a
Georgian? ’ I left in shame and disgust. Like
Peter. I would have denied the ‘Toft impeach
ment.”
My Democracy is bas'd on “equal and exact
justice to all men,” whether they be Africans
or white men. Can you call that vote and
that speech Democratic? If so, deliver me
from the name and the party.
Let us examine the record a little further
One day last week Senator Rill said on the
rt or of the Senate he would vote for a bill to
L ive each member of that body a clerk at one
hundred dollars per month or twelve hundred
dollars per year. He said the Chairmen of
i committees had a clerk to do thoir private
i correspond, nee in the clerk allowed to the
committee, and he wanted me too. He was
“not able to pay oije out of his own funds,”
but he could not do his writing to his consti
tuents. He gets no more seed to distribute,
a ,and no more books to send our than a member
I °f the House but he coolly demands an addi
tion to his own salary of twelve hundred dol
lar* per onnum to do his writing and fighting
of Georgia Independents When, hereafter.
Senator Hill’s name is announe and at th“ door,
we suppose we shall see his valet, alias clerk
who will be recogoized as "renator Hill’s little
man.”
But, Messrs. Editors, the question comes up,
who foots the hill? Who is to suffer that this
man should have a clerk to do the writing the
members of the House do without complain',
or pay for it out of their large salarv of $5,0(j0,
—wi h mileage and stationery added?
I reply the people of Georgia and other
States, who even now are troubled to know
how they on fide over the present season of
poverty and distress, and fee I their families
Already pressed tc the last notch, yet this
“enator from Georgia cabs out for twe'lve hun
dred dollars more to swell his gains. There are
seventy-six Senators, and the extra pav to th's
number will amount to ninety one thousand
two hundred dollars. Talk about the bck
salary grab! Th“t was an Open, straightfor

ary gran, an addition to them own salarhs of

Sometime ago Mr Garfield was elected Presi
dent About as soon as the mails c uld take
his letter, he(Hill) unbosoms himself to the
Hon. 8. B. Chittenden, of New York, end I pro
pose to give you an extract from this charming
letter, which he gave Mr. Chittenden permis
sion to give to the public. He will not dispute
Mr. Chittenden’s authority, whatever he may
undertake with Mr. Grady:
“Well, my friend, the most anxious event in
our history has become a fact—a solid North
against a solid South No language can ex
press to you the view I take of this event fur
evil It can have no logic if continued, but dis
ruption in several monarchies, or absolute con
solidation of all the States into one empire. In
either event our constitutional system will fail
in mv opinion. The time has come when the
question for real statesmen to consider is how
speedily to breakup this sectional solidity, and
organize parties altogether on other issues. The
Democratic party is hated attbe North, and,
tharefore.it ought to be disbanded: the Republi
can party is hated at the South, and. therefore,
it ought to be disbaodea. Whether this hatred
is just or not makes no difference I woutd be
glad to see a great national union party or
ganized. for 1 believe that the government
formed by the Constitution is a nation. I
really like Garfield, and h> pe he will have a
successful administration. He must feel
keenly the fact that he is elected solely by
Northern voters, but he has a great oppor
tunity , and can, if he will, easily and consist
enily de troy all sectional animosities and
solidities, and be chosen for a second term by
a majority of the States, North or South.”
Now, Mess's Editors, the “logic” of this
letter goes to prove that Mr. Hill cm be reli and
on to break the solidity—or it must remain
solid. Where did I or anybody else say so
much in disparagement of the Bourbon De
mocracy?
If he tnen spoke the truth and the convic
tions of his heart, what can be said of his
infamy in charging me with “Africanizing the
State?”
If he deceived Mr. Chittenden then, are you
certain he is not deceiving you now ?
wHere he developed an effort at “coalition”
that throws into shadow the Markham House
conference. That Mr. Hill was ready and will
ing to coalesce there is no doubt whatever. As
for that matter, in my opinion, he will do any
thing that opens a wa. to official spoils, or that
promises a good sized fee.
Did this coalition with Mr. Chittenden and his
party mean an “infamous conspiracy?” Did it
mean “Africanizing the State?” or the “re
opening of the race issues?” ora “combination
cf the worst of elements in society,”which will
“result in such debauchery and lobbery as will
•bock th • ivilized world? ’
Did he thus conciliate Mr. Chittenden, that
Mr. Chittenden should bring him an “ulti
matum” from the President ?
And did he propose to honey-snuggle Mr
Garfield to get the means to “buy Southern
Democrats ?”
I am “both pained and grieved” that the
member from Brooklyn did not hold his political
eel who said, “Here, oatch met”
How bland hi* approaches! How eor his at
titude ! How tenderly he leans over to tbie
good Republican friend! Was he beguiling him
into an "easy time ?”
When he gets down here next summer, with
his new clerk in the rear, we will ask him some
questions about this “coalition”—and if “Barkis
was willing ’’
Now. why did he desire the Democratic party
disbandeo? Can anvbody tell? And why did
he go to Mr. Chittenden to get help In the ef
fort?
Messrs. Editors, if this was not proposing to
sell out to the Republican party, what do yoa
call it?
Ah! was he ever true to any friendship or to
anv political faith!
More then that, what man in Georgia can tel!
where he stands on anv question -affecting
flounce, or the tariff, or revenue?
His attitude on trie remonetization of stiver
was like lus position In all these matters.
Every it fluence he had or could bring to bear
was in the direction of Wall street, but his vote
was given to satisfy the clamor of the people
at home, that he might ■ of imperil his “stand
ing in the party;” which simply means he
wants to retain his seat in the -enate
