The Columbus Daily Enquirer-Sun in refer
ence to the telegraph service in that city thus
complains: “On visiting Columbus and ob
serving the live, active, goabead, progressive
style which characterizes the city, would
naturally suppose we have all that is needed in
the way of telegraphic facilities, but in nothmg
could they possibly be worse mistaken. Here
we have a city with .0,000 inhabitants in a mil*
of the office, and yet our facilities are but lit
tle better than a country station on the rail
road. The Western Union is the only
office having a line here, and they
seem to think they are perfectly
secure In their monopoly. Complaints are
made every day, and they are now getting to
be so that they are almost unendurable. No
matter what may happen, it is out of the ques
tion to get off a message after 9 o’clock at
night. There is only one operator in the office,
and it requires his undivided lime to take the
dispa'ches received by this paper. He is una
ble to receive or send any private messages.
Yesterday morning we received six dtspatches
sent the night before, and which were intend
ed for publication yesterday morning, but were
worthless on account of not being received in
time. This was on account of no one at the
office to take them. Du-ing the convention in
We t Point, dispatches sent to this office at 8
o’clock were received at 2 o’clock the nut
morning, and dispatches sent here to be made
press dispatches were received after fe press
• lispatches were closed. This complainf is gen
eral throughout the city, and if the Board of
Trade can woi k a reformation in the matter,
they will accomplish a great benefit to the city
It is simply an outrage that the city should be
compelled to submit to any such treatment.”

coochee river north of Hayes’ ferry, and around
Chala Apopka lake will be directly advantaged.
The river and Psnasoffkee lake are connected,
so that freight flats and steamboats can dis
tribute freight and passengers along the lakes
and river from Hayes' ferry to the mouth of
the Withlacoochee. The county back of them
can likewise be supplied BrooksvlUe and Lake
Lindsey will receive their freights and ship
their produce by that route. A steam
boat plying regularly on the Withlacoochee to
Panasoffkee will be a necessity. Mr F. N. Town

HONOR TO THE DEAD.
PRESIDENT WADLEY’S REMAINS
AT ATLANTA.
Sorrowing Tbronga In Waiting—Tbe
Bogy Placed on tba special Train
for Bolinzbrok- Tbe Arrange*
menta Completed for tbe Funeral
To-day.
Atlanta, August 14 —The remains of
Colonel Wadley arrived at noon, accom
panied by Vice President W. G. Raoul,
Colonel Virgil Powers, Colonel G, T. Raoul,
Captain G. A. Whitehead, Mr. Wm. O.
Wadley, Mrs. Wm. M. Wadley and Miss
Eva Wadley.
A large concourse of people, Including
prominent citizens and leading railroad
men, had assembled at the depot, and as
the mnt&ed bell of the locomotive slowly
tolled while the train moved through the
throng, heads were uncovered and bowed in
token of respect to the honored dead—a
tribute that was repeated as the special train
moved out of the depot bearing the remains
away to Bollngbroke in advance of the regu
lar passenger train.
Mr. James 8. Armstrong, In charge of the
deoot, had all the arrangements perfected
for the sad occasion, and no delay took
place In transferring the remains to the
special train, consisting of three cars appro
priately draped with mourning emblems
both iDglde and out, and drawn by the loco
motive Wm. M. Wadley, similarly draped.
Captain R. J. Courtney, of Bavannab, and
Conductor J. C. McLendon, of Atlanta,
were in charge of the train.
The pall bearers to transfer the remains
were Major John W. Green, of the Georgia
Railroad; Colonel Wm. Rogers, of the Cen
tral Railroad; Dr E A. Flewellen, of the
Columbus and Western Railroad; Captain
G J. Fcreaere, of the Richmond and Dan
ville Rsllroad; Major W. F. Shellraan, of the
Macon and Western Railroad; Colonel J. E.
Jones, of the Southwestern Railroad; Mr.
W. 8 Brantly, of the Montgomery and
Eufaula Railroad; Mr. Dave W. Appier, of
the Port Royal Railroad, and Mr. A. J. Orme,
of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad.
Mr. Robert Schmidt, local ageot here of
the Central Railroad, accompanied the train
to Bollngbroke, having special supervision
of all matters of safety and comfort.
The remains were met here by Moses
Wadley and wife, of Augusta,and LorlDg
Wadley, Major Felix Oorput and a delega
tion from Macon, who accompanied the be
reaved ones to Bollngbroke.
Mrs. A. B. Steele, a niece of Col. Wadley
and a daughter of David Wadley, placed a
most beautiful and fragrant pillow of flow
ers upon the casket, and hundreds of clti
zme passed through the funeral car to look
upon this exquisite floral tribute.
Mrs. Wadley and Capt. Raoul were deep
ly touched by the general demonstration of
sympathy on the part [of our citizens, espe
cially the railroad men, whose sad faces
to’d how near to their own hearts this great
affliction bad come.
A special train leaves here to-morrow for
the funt ral, and will carry a large number
of our citizens, In charge of Mr. David
W. Appier, to participate in the services.
The announcement of the sudden death
o’ Colonel Wm M. Wadley created here
the most profound sorrow, and the feel
ing has deepened as lime for reflection
has Intervened. No death in Georgia for
y-ars past nas been more sincerely de
plored, and the one universal verdict Is that
the 8 ate has lost a citizen whose honesty
and Integrity were above reproach.
Especially has this express lon prevailed In
railroad circles, where Colonel Wadley’s
abilities and worth were o wel! known and
so highly appreciated. Railroad men who
have served under him for a score of years,
and felt the force of his discipline as well
as the kindness of his heart, testify with
tearful sincerity to his nobleness of heart
and Integrity of character.
And this deep feeling of sorrow and re
spect for the dead that hangs over our city
like a pall, flnds a flt companion in the em
blems of mourning that drape the union
pisenger depot and Its Incoming and out
going trains, and the freight depot, i n
charge of Mr. Schmidt, and the city office of
General Agent D. W. Appier, which Is elab
orately and gracefully draped.
There Is but one expression in regard to
the vacancy caused by the death of Colonel
Wadley. He was a pecullajly great man
quiet and unobtrusive, yet strong and clear
beaded in bis schemes and operations as a
railroad manager. His methods were his
own, his plans seldom known to the public
until they were fully perfected and put jn
operation. In all the ranks of living rail
road magnates North, West and Bouth, there
Is no one who possesses the qualities neces
sary to enable him to fill the void created
by the death of this great man.

would suffice to set the whole province
ablaze.”
The Daily Newt has the following dispatch
from Constantinople: “The resolution to
proclaim Arab! Pasha a rebel was reached,
only after a protracted discussion between
the Palace clique and t> < ministerial partv.
The Grand Vizier and the Minister
of Foreign Affairs insisted upon
the necessity of the proclamation,
and declared that war with England would
be a terrible calamity for Turkey, because
Russia was ready to march into Asia Minor
and Austria to march on Salonlca. Arabl
Pasha has been invited to lay down his
arms, and until a repiy is received from him
the proclamation will not become official,”
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Daily News says : “An important indication
of the spirit which animates the Porte In
sending troops to Egypt is found in the fact
ibat twenty Christian medical men, who
bad been appointed to accompany the
Egyptian expedition and who had received
pay and made every preparation for their
departure, were stopped at the last moment
aDd tbelr place were supplied by Mussul
mans,”

of the guns of our outposts. A Captain
In the Egvpttan army, supposed to be
the bearer of dispatches to Arabl,
has been captured at Suez. A number of

Constantinople, August 14 —A Mussul
man jurist whom the Sultau frequently
consults explains that Arabl Pasha, In so far
as he disobeyed the Caliph, Is a rebel, and
may be unceremoniously treated as ,such ;
but Id so far as he has been a defender
of a Mohammedan country against the ag
gressive designs of Christians, he has
merely fulfilled the duties of a good Mussul
inar, and consequently the Caliph
rannot make common cause with
England. The Sultan may punish Arabl
against him, but he must not associate him
self with those who wish to crush Arab! as
a defender of Islam. This will greatly in
fluence Turkish milltarv action.

COUNSELLOR CARPENTER BE
GINS HIS PLEA.
An Installment of Patboa— Lawyer
Kar Denounced Tba Attorney-
General Scored.
Washington, August 14.—Judge Carpen
ter opened the argument for the defense In
the star route cases this morning, spewing
particularly in behalf of his clients, 17 W.
and 8. W. Dorsey. He premised his argu
ment by congratulating the jury and his
fellow counsel that the trial was drawing
to a close. He spoke for a lovely,
devoted and heart-stricken wife, for
Innocent children, for a widow whose
husband was taken from her through dls
ease contracted In the service of his country,
for her orphan children, for a sensitive, cul
tivated, honest man, who had been traduced
throughout the country In a manner in
which no man’s character had ever been
assailed before. He was not here to ask
the jury for mercy. His Instructions from
his client were to ask for justice
Counsel for the prosecution bad told the
jury that the public had passed judgment
in this case, and It was the Jury’e duty to
affirm that judgment. He had never before
heard such a remark from counsel. He had
supposed It was the duty of the lury to find
a verdict In accordance with the facts, and
notin accordance with public opinion.
The speaker then criticised the action of
the law officer of the government In abdi
cating his position to admit special counsel
(referring to Messrs. Ker and Merrick, and
the action of the Attorney-General in par
ticipating in the argument). He did not
believe the Attorney General acted as a
mouthpiece for the President, or that the
latter was using all the power of his admin
istration to crush these defendants with
whom he had been on terms of social inti
macy. He believed that the Attorney Gen
eral spoke only for the Department of Jus
tice, but he ought not to participate at all
in such a trial as this.
Judge Carpenter then took up the argu
ment! of Mr. Ker, which he said was full
of gross mlstatements, and he contended
that there was not a scintilla of evidence to
sustain the indictment for conspiracy. The
evidence of Walsh, even if true, simply
proyed extortion by Brady and not conspi
racy. But It was not true, and he entered
into an argument to show its improbability.
At the conclusion of this branch of his ad
dress the court adjourned. All the defend
ants were present in court to-day except
Brady.

Waycross, Ga., August 12 —Editor Morning
News: We are enjoying at present a very
agreeable change in temperature, the average
thermometer not exceeding 70 degrees. The
rains in this section have been very plentiful.
The grain crop will be much heavier than in
any previous year, and the condition of the
farmers will be vastly improved thereby. The
improvements hereabouts continue, there be
ing in process of construction at this writing a
Baptist church, one twenty-room hotel, and
several dwellings. The hotel is situated near
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
restaurant, and the company will soon com
mence an addition of about 90 or 100 by 70 feet
to their restaurant, to which this hotel wiU be
a concomitant. These latter improvements
have become necessary to supply the rapidly
increasing demands of the traveling public,
and with Mr. Svl B. Van Dyke as manager in
chief, the company will doubtless reap a very
handsome profit on the capital thus invested,
and, in addition, have the appreciation of the
public at large lor the timely consideration of
their comfort.
Reppard & Walter’s mammoth steam saw

its owners have to draw from, we do not doubt
but that this heretofore unaccomplished feat
will be easily compassed and in the many bene
fits arising from the successful operation of
this great enterprise Waycross and Savannah
will doubtless be participants.
On Thursday and Friday nights, 17th and

a grand fair and festival for the benefit of that

The Work of Southern Women. -
The efforts made by the Southern wo
men to improve the condition of the
negroes by circulating reading matter
and by advising, instructing and encour
aging the colored girls, are exhilarating
to read about. More education is done
out of school than in school, and the
Southern women who are working per
sonally with the colored women and
girls arouud them are doing more, far
more, for the South, in proportion to
number and means, than politicians can
do, and they are doing more for Chris
tianity and civilization than all the mis
sionaries in Africa and Asia combined.—

Atlanta, Ga., August I*. 1832.
Major O. M. SyaU, Havarmah, Oa.:
Dxar Bih—l am in receipt of your letter of
the 3d Inst, in which you request me not to
run for a re-election to Congress, and aak me
to receive your suggestion in the spirit in w hich
it was made. Your expressions of friendly re
gard for me are gratefully accepted, and not
withstanding the close friendly relation you
bear to one of my most active opponents for
the position you ask me to relinquish, and in
view of your friendly co-operation and services
in the last campaign, I cheerfully accord to
your motive in making the suggestion the
friendly sincerity you ask for it. And, as you
have written with great freedom, I hope you
will allow me the same privilege in responding.
You say that our commercial material
interests “will require the services of a mem
ber whose health wlil permit him to give active
attention to the business in Congress." You are
perhaps aware that the late session of the F'r
ty-seventh Congress gave to the rivers and I ar
bors of the First district—at least to the Bavan
nah harbor—the largest amount that has ever
been appropriated for that purpose. This was
done upon bills Introduced by me, through the
proper aid and assistance of the other mem
oers of the Georgia delegation, the city of
Savannah having given the necessary co-oper
ation by the moral weight of the presence of a
delegation, amongst whom was the official
head of the city. I recommenced to the Mayor
the importance of such a presence because I
knew that other cities and communities, which
have made successful application for Federal
appropriations, have usually found it necessa
ry to render such co-operation to their Repre
sentatives in Congress.
I made the suggestion likewise to other cities
of my district, and urged upon prominent citi
zens the importance of such a presentation of
their claims. The commercial interests of the
port of Savannah, at least, have suffered no
detriment by any physical disqualification of
her Representative in Congress. And if they
have not done so in the past, permit me to ask,
why should you be troubled by such grave
apprehensions for the future? You sav that
an active canvass of the district by the nomi
nee should be made. That may be true and
yet it may not be essential to Democratic suc
cess that it should be made always in person,
as you seem to think so specially Important at
this particular juncture It has not been cus
tomary or considered necessary heretofore for
candidates in the First district to do all you
would seem to require now, for although I
canvassed it thoroughly and made one or
more speeches in every county of my
district, 1 was informed by people in some
parts that none of my predecessors had ever
b-fore done the like. Indeed, the success of
the party depends, not so much upon the per
sonal activity of the nominee, as upon the pa
triotic sense of duty to themselves in the peo
ple In off years from Presidential elections
neither party ever polls its full vote. This is
especially true of the dominant party, which,
you know, Is at this time the Republican party.
Some of the counties which I canvassed in the
last campaign, in which but a bare handful of
the citizens attended the speaking, and appa
rent apathy prevailed, gave the fullest Demo
cratic vote when the hour of duty and the day of
the election arrived, showing that the result de
pends, not so much upon the personal canvass
ing by the nominee as It does upon the patriot
ism and vigilance of the people lam satisfied
that the Republican party can secure no
greater campaign fund, or present no stronger
candidate than it did in the last election, when
it was defeated by the overwhelming majority
of near 3,500 votes. That was a victory gained
by the Democratic party through the patriotic
efforts of the people more than through the
activity of any candidate, and was accom
plished at a time when the whole National Re
publican party was aroused to the highest
pitch of excitement in a Presidential campaign
by a desperate effort to retain the spoils of
their plunder and to perpetuate their usurped
power. You may remember to have heard
then the threat of Republican leaders that
their national party had selected our district
as an object of its special care, and that thou
sands of dollars had been sent forward with
which to accomplish the prostitution
of Democratic virtue and the subversion
of Democratic supremacy la the First con
gressional district of Georgia. The urbanity,
elegance, tact, and personal and business pop
ularity of the Republican nominee were ad
verted to then with an air of triumph, as an
invincible element against which we would
have to contend. Nor were we then without
the Independent movement,threatening us with
its balance of power,under the vigorous leader
ship of one of its ablest champions in the dis
trict. We were admonished then that the recant
importation of turpentine and lumber labor
ers had increased the colored voters of the dis
trict by over three thousand. These circum
stances were tufficien' to cause some weak
kneed Democrats to quail with fear and ap
prehension for the success of our party; but
the result of the election showed that all true
men, whether as organized or as independent
Democrats, would rally to the standard of
their party in the final day of action, and that
they were unpurchaaed. and unpurchasable,
by the corruption fund of the Radical party.
For one, I entertain no fear as to the triumph
of the Democratic party of our district in the
coming election, whoever may be its nominee,
or whatever may be the influences brought to
bear to defeat it by fraud, argument or per
suasion The prediction of a Republican vic
tory in our district has been predicated upon
the false assumption that every colored man
was a Republican voter, and that there was a
large majority of colored polls in the and strict;
whereas, tne truth Is, that large numbers of
colored men, true to themselves and to their
country, vote with the Democratic party. ar.d
the fact is that there does not exist a majority
of colored polls,the last report of the Comptro
ller General showing that there is, on the con
trary. a majority of over two hundred white
poll- in the First Congressional District of the
State.
There was a perioi in the progress of my
illnes* when 1 hesitated to make a positive an
nouncement of my candidacy for re-election,
because there was reason then for doubts as to
my physical qualification for the position.
Many gentlemen amongst my friends who saw
me during that time were no doubt honestly
impressed with the conviction that I could
never recover, one of whom, doubtless acting
upon such an impression, was induced to an
nounce himself a candidate for the nomination
as my successor Circumstances have so far
changed.and my health has so much Improved,
that I now entertain no doubt but that I will
be able r o discharge all the duties of a member
of the Forty-eighth Congress. lam now. and
have been for eeks past in the full db.charge
of all the routine business appertaining to my
office as a member of the Forty-seventh Con
gress, and, with the exception of casting my
vote upon the floor of the House of
Representatives (and as to that I was
for the most time paired with a
Republican member) but a short interval of
three or four weeks, during mv extreme ill
ness, suspended their performance. Of course,
men may differ, as they almost always do as to
the acceptability, availability and the mental
or physical qualification of candidates, and if I
should not oe exempt from such criticism, I
cannot, of course, be surprised. Under the
peculiar circumstances of my own case much
allowance, I know, should be made for the
existence of such differences of opinio* as to
my physical qualification, owing to the ground
less rumors and false impressions that pre
vailed. But whatever may be these differences,
party unity and political success make it neces
sary that a decision should be made, and it has
always been the chief glory of the Democratic
party that all of its members have bowed
in loyal submission to the decision
of its nominating conventions, honestly
and fairly made, a time honored usage
having given to these party decrees the sanc
tion and potency of a law. Whatever I might
be willing to do, and indeed, under certain cir
cumstances would do, for the safety of the
Democratic party, or for the salvation of the
country. I cannot deem it either a personal or
political duty to voluntarily retire from the
field for the promotion of the interests of any
particular individual. My present expectation
is to permit my friends to present my name
as a candidate for re-election to the nominat
ing convention of September Rth, with the
privilege of insisting upon its consideration, or
of withdrawing it if at that Urns they should
deem the public interest required, or the suc
cess of the party demanded ft.
As you wrote, not in confidence and without
tbe injunction of privacy, upon a question
involving the public announcement of
my candicacy before the people I
have exercised tbe privilege thereby
implied, to make public my response, in order
that my friends, and all other penons in the
district interested in the issue, may be ap
prised of the facts, and of mv Intentions m
tbe premises. Hoping that my answer will
satisfactorily meet your objections, and that
my physical condition will ro much improve

THE FLITTING OF BARBIOS.
Tbs Dictator Slips Away to Xarops,

blow he NewYork World of Saturday morn—
SJ says# “President Barrios, Dictator of
Gnat Tis, sails to-day for Europe, with his
*° me of the unfortunate persons
t >u constitute his suit, on hoard the steamer
C eltic. A great mystery has been msde of
- the Dictator’s departure, chiefly. It Is under
stood, because General Barrios has bean un
easy as to bit personal safety ever since he
reached New York, on account of the pree
ence here of sundry exiled Guatemalans
who have personal wrongs ana outrages to
settle with him. So great has been his
alarm on this account that be has not ven
tured out of the house since he cams back
from Washington. The Dictator’s Intention
Is to leave his young children here until his
return from Europe, which is fixed now for
the beginning of October. Hla oldest
son by his first wife, Venenclo Barrios, re
mains in Guatemala, where he is watching
the depositaries of his father’s absolute
power. Gen. Barrios bas been concocting,
with the aid of his Minister to Mexico, Mr.
Herrara, whom he summoned here shortly
after his arrival, a scheme for the settlement
of the vexed question with Mexico concern
ing Chiapas and Soconusco. It Is most Im
portant for Barrios to get this question set
tled, if he possibly can, as he is bent on
raising a loan either in London or Paris, and
he can borrow no money if tbe shadow of a
war with Mexico hangs over him. The
failure of Mr. Logan, the late United States
Minister to Central America, to get the
pretty project carried out which Mr.
Blaine adopted of negotiating a loan of
$5,000,000 under an American guarantee
based on the annexation of Central America
has left General Barrios badly pinched. His
wrath against Logan is tremendous He de
nounces tbe late United States Minister In
the most violent terms, and asserts that he
paid Logan’s expense for coming to the
United Btales anil bought hie furniture at a
fabulous price solely in order to secure the
great-annexation-guarantee-loan aforesaid.
In his excitement the Dictator has been not
only disagreeable, but dangerous for sever*’
days past. He hat, actually b -ate’q--oue of
his officers with a stick since he came here,
and tbe violence and indecency of his gen
eral conduct may be inferred from the flat
refusal of so quiet and philosophic a Central
American statesman as Dr. Lorenzo Montufar
any longer to put up with his insolence and
brutality. It is probable that he will find
England and Franc: no more tractable than
the United States. The English have not
forgotten how he -uffered an English Con
?ul, Mr. Magee, to be brutally bastinadoed
by one of his creatures at San Jose de
Guatemala, nor tbe French how he only last
year protected certain ruffians of his force,
who fell foul of the Secretary of the French
Legation, M. Pilot. The total funded debt
of Guatemala, chiefly held in England, la
between seven and eight millions of dollars,
Including the old debt contracted fifty year*
ago, and now mainlv represented by Thomp
son, Bonar & Cos., of London. It is the be
lief of those who are In the confidence of
Barrios that he expects to induce tbe holders
of old Guatemala obligations to help him
raise his new loan by offering them a hand
some percentage on the operation.

Tbe Republican* Hard at Work—
Democrat* Getting Ready.
A special dispatch from Washington says:
“The officers of the Republican Congres
sional Committee report that a healthy inter
est in the coming political struggle is show
ing itself In every State and in nearly every
Congressional district. The general demand
for campaign documents is almost unprece
dented at so early a time Tbe committee
has already issued twenty documents, and
of these nearly one million copies In all have
been ordered printed. Last month alone
nearly 200 000 copies were sent out, and
from one Western State within the last few
days has been received an order for SIO,OOO
worth of documents.
“Among The documents Issued are a
number of speeches on the tariff, two or
three on the financial record of the Repub
lican party, and several on tbe Southern
election frauds. The committee has also
deemed it expedient and necessary to Issue
as a campaign document the speech deliv
ered by Representative Butterworth in Con
gress * few weeks ago on the subject of
appointments and removals by the Presi
dent —a speech that was recognized as an
authorized and official defense of the ad
ministration.
“Of course, much of the work of the Re
publican committee thus far has been pre
liminary—obtaining of specific Information
In regard to every doubtful Congressional
district, the causes of doubt or disaffection,
the effect of tbe temperance movement, the
personal standing of candidates, etc. The
officers of the committee cay that never
before has so great an amount of definite
and trustworthy information been collected

matter has never been neglected.
“In regard to tbe work of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, it is impossible to
ascertain what, if anything, is being done,
except the sending out of a good many
speecheb. A correspondent who met Gene
eral Rosecrans, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, at tbe capitol to-day, asked
him where the headquarters of the commit

the reply. ‘We are sending out a good
many documents from this building, but we
have not yet really established ourselves.’
“ How soon will the committee be ready
to begin an active esnva-s V
“ ‘I think we shall have our work rounded
up and in good condition by September I,’
