-p>r rly inscrib'd to Georgia’s dead Sena
. r by Jot.n vV. Campitt, of Illinois ]
I am weary of my burden.
And fain would ret;
f r the sombre winds are sighing,
yr my fondest hopes are dying,
Au i like autumn leaves are lying
On eartn’s cold breast.
Ao ! 1 hear the voices calling.
Sweet, soft and low;
i'll their plaintive tones are pleading,
\\ lie the day of life is speeding,
And worldly scenes receding.
For me to go.
Come with us across the border—
seek rest profound;
Where no sombre winds are sighing,
' Wbre no hopes and joys are dying.
Where no dream of love is lying.
Dead upon the ground.
WV will show a light bright ourniug.
Like a golden star;
Tis a hope you one day buried,
I the busy world all hurried,
Bu became the re-urrected.
To shine thus afar:
W> will show you heaven's morning,
A never ending day;
Where the softest ravs are shining
And the blossoms sweet entwining—
re the angels are divining
Every thought upon the way.
Every leaf upon its shore lines
Is a gem;
Sot a withered one is drooping.
W: " the hand at love is looping
And into garlands grouping
All of them.
In that world there is no sorrow,
Not a tear;
vVvrr comes the broken-hearted
Kr in whose eager life departed
i'ne hopes that once had started
Fond and dear!
S, ,t a storm c’oud ever gathers
On the air;
Onlv summer clouds are drifting
And su mer breezes sifting.
And sweetest perfume lifting.
From gardens fair.
Only music soft and melting
Boothes the soul:
And its bitlows mild and wooing,
With a gentle hand undoing
Ail the c*res that were bestrewing
Each earthly goal.
Lead me to that land of beauty,
Sol may abide;
Iwal me where the flowers are blooming,
Wh-re the music wil 1 is wooing,
vt here the hand of love is moving
On every tide!
Like a little child I’ll follow
Swift after thee;
To the land of never weeping,
Where my father’s love is keeping
Mortal souls who failed in reaping
Earthly ecstacy.
i will take my burden for a pillow.
And He down to rest:
Lid's love shall dwell beside me.
And no clou's shall ever hide me
From th“ loving ones tha’ guide me
To the portals of the blest..

Monroe Advertiser: “Last Monday, just be
fore the Adoerttser went to pre<s, we heard
that Mr. Jethro Williams, who lived a few
miles from Forsyth, had committed su'eide.
The particulars of the sad event we did uot
learn at the time. It seems from all that we
gather, that Mr Williams committed the act
with deliberation. They had been keeping
watch over him for some weeks, having reason
to believe ilia his miod was somewhat im
paired. He was missed from home and his
family thought best to look after him They
soon found that he had gone through a skirt of
woods not far from the house, and that he
took pains to mark the path he had taken, by
breaking twigs and bushes as he went along.
Following these traces, they soon came to a
shallow creek and saw the walking cane of the
unfortunate man sticking in the water, and
a search resulted in the immediate finding of
his body, in the shallow water, with life ex
tinct. He had walked into the water with a
rock fastened to his head, had stuck the cane
into the creek bottom, and then de.iberately
placed his head uncer the water until he
drowned. Such was the conclusion that was
arrived at by those who had been searching for
him.”
The following bold burglary and robbery we
find in the Carteraville American: “Expert
rubnens. by means of a ladder from the resi
dence of J. H. Wikle, Esq., near by,reached the
second veranda at Col. Crawford’s on Satur
day night The upper hall door on that veran
da being habitually open through the summer
The rude visitors examined all the rooms of the
building, taking, only such valuables as
might be carried in as tchel or pockets Col.
Crawford himself in feeble health recently
was sleeping in the room known as
the library, adjoining that of the family;
his clothing was taken out into the
lawn and rifled of his watch, pocketbook. etc
From a dressing case drawer—the only drawer
unlocked— * package of numerous papers was
also taken out and examined with the clothing.
The family retired as early as usual. An ad
joining neighbor observed a light in the dining
room about midnight Colonel Crawford is
-atisfied he was chloroformed, and is strongly
impressed that all the sleeping rooms were
thus fumigated, as none of the family awoke.
The intruders were doubtless professionals—
using a dark lantern and wax tapers, one of
which was left with the clothing and papers
under the trees in the lawn.”

Atlanta, August 16—About 2 o’clock
this morning Benator Hill was found to
be rapidly sinking. He breathed with much
difficulty. He continued to sleep, however,
and at a few minutes after 6 o’clock bis
death occurred, without a struggle. He
died from exhaustion.
Several hours before the Senator’s death
it was evident that the end was near. Soon
after daybreak his family were summoned
to his bedside, and there were present at his
death the following persons: Mrs. Hill, his
wife, B. H. Hill, Jr , and wife, Dr. R P.
Ridley and wife, Benator Hill’s danghter,
Charles D. Hill, his son, two nephews of the
Senator, and Dr. Wright, the attending sur
geon.
Four hours before passing away he made
a sign for a hypodermic injection of mor
phine, which was administered. He ap
peared to be awake and conscious several
times, but could not speak. At 6:15 he was
apparently awake. He then closed his eyes
gently and died without even a tremor.
Almost all business is suspended in respect
for the memory of the dead Senator. The
Mayor and Governor ordered the city and
B’ate buildings to he draped and fligs to be
put at half mast. The fire and church bells
were tolled to announce his death, and deep
and universal sorrow prevails. The City
Council, Board of Trade and the A’lanta bar
held meetings and appointed committees to
participate in the fuueral services on Satur
day, at four o’clock, at the First Presbyte
rian Church Rev. Clement A Evans will
officiate. During the services the stores will
be closed and business suspended.
Telegrams from various parts of the State,
and from other States, gave assurances of
hearty sympathy with the bereaved family
and a large attendance at the funeral.
There will be a meeting of citizens at Re-'
presentative Hall to morrow noon.
Washington, August 16.—The death of
few living pu.iiic men could have caused
deeper and more genuine regret than W
caused by the announcement of that
of Senator HU'. He was aimlred
by friends and foes alike. The psopWi

as much as the people of Georgia,

BRADY’S DEFENSE.
Counsellor Chandler's Plea for Ike
Arch-Jobber.
Washington, August 16.—Judge Carpen
ter concluded his argument in the star route
cases at an early hour to day, and was fol
lowed by Jeff. Chandler, Eeq , for the de
fense and particularly for defendant Brady.
Mr. Chandler said t he jury might,perhaps,re
member that there was an indictment in this
case, al'hough they had heard much about
it. The theory of that indictment was that
every person mentioned therein was guilty
of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Fraud meant getting something out of the
government without returning an equiva
lent. in value. His first point was that a
good trade was uot fraud. A man had a right
to make the best bargainhe could at any time
If these ontractors had made $400,000
or $1,000,000, thty could not be called to
account fer it,. Mr. Chaudler then re
viewed the allegations of the indictment,
and said the conspiracy charged therin must
be proved by separate criminal acts. The
prosecution could not put a number of
separately Innocent acts together, and out
of them collectively, make a crime. They
bad not, however, proved a single act for
which a man could be punished.
In the second place, a conspiracy having
been proved, It must be shown that the de
fendants made false representations; that
the money paid on the expedited routes was
paid by reason of these false representa
tions, and in the third place, it
must be proved that the means
made use of actually defrauded
the government. These things, he asserted,
had not been proved. Nothing had been
sh <w against, anv one of the defendant
which would warrant his conviction, if on
trial alone. Strong suspicion or probability
was not sufficient. The jury must feel a
clear and positive conviction of the defend
ants’ guilt.
Mr. Chandler was here about to quote
some authority on a point of law, when Mr.
Merrick objected on the ground that the
jury could not pas* on a point of law.
Mr. Chandler replied that, he should ask
the court to instruct th® jury that they were
judges of both law and fact.
Judge Wylie said that if that were so he
might as well retire
Mr. Chandler insisted that he should ask
fcfdlPHri hereafter on the question. Con-
WiHting.. Mr. Chandler said conspiracy must
be proved tjDUnst every one of the defend
ants; nr ever-. one of them must be acquitt
ed. They were so united by the Indictment
that they could not be separated in the yer
diftt. Trie jury could not fiad two or three
guilty and acquit the remainder.
( Along colloquy followed between the
oourtAod counsel on this point, the court
Mcefiaatlng the opinion that any two of the
defendants might be convicted and the re
mainder acquitted.
Air. Chandler maintained that all must be
found guilty or none, and that the alleged
fraudulent expedition of routes must be
shown to have re-ulted from the unbroken
and united influence of all the defendants
together, exclur-lve of other causes.
Mr Chandler further maintained that the
government had received an equivalent for
money spent in expedition and
had not been defrauded.
Upon this point another colloquy took
place between the court and prunsel, the
former expressing the opinion that, if con
spiracy were proved, the fact that the pub
lic received benefit from the expedition and
Increase of service was no defense.
At this point, argument was suspended
and the court adjourned.

WHISKY DISTILLERS IN COUNCIL
A Redaction of the Product Agreed
Upon.
Cincinna I *’. August 16 —Last November
the whisky dealers of the West formed a
temporary association for reducing the
amount distilled to half their government
capacity. This agreement terminated May
lof this year. Since that time the distillers
have been running at will. Yester
day a meeting of the Cincinnati and
neighboring distillers was held and an agree
raent was unanimously reached that the
distillers reduce the production of high
wines to forty per cent, of their govern
ment capacity. The distiller went to Chi
cago last night to attend a meeting there

BISHOP PAYNE.
Disinclined to Mae for Damages.
Newport, R. 1., August 16—At a meet
ing of colored citizens to-night a letter from
Bishop Daniel Payne, of Florida, in relation
to his ejection from a first-class carriage on a
Florida railway on account of his color
was considered. The letter affirms the
injustice of the railway employes’ action,
but evinces a disinclination, owing to his
advanced years and feeble health to engage

for that purpose will be given to the widow
of John Brown.

issued a proclamation to the people of
Egypt representing the sole object of the
British to be to restore the authority of the

London, August 16.— Apprehensions re

been removed, business in the insurance of
ships against war risks has ceased.
The Khedive yesterday -ent 5 telegram to
Nice requesting the presence of Rlaz Pasha
at the palace. Rlaz Pasha is expected to
sail from Marseilles to-morrow, and it is
hoped to form a combination Ministry under
the leadership of Cherif Pasha. Hundreds
of people arrive by steam r daily
without visible means of sub

apartments are almost unobtainable
at double rents. Tuesday being the last
day of the feast of Balram, the Khedive
held a reception at the Ras-el-Tln palace.
The Khedive appeared to be in good spirits,
and referred to passing events in a light and
happy manner. Genera! Adye, Admiral
Seymour and many other British officers
visited the Khedive. The commissariat ser
vice is working smoothly.
Constantinoplb, J ugust 16 —The draft
of the military convention proposed by the
Por a to Eogiand is as follows:
“The Turkish army undertakes the paci
fication of Egypt without foreign assistance.
They wish the British forces to remain in
their present positions and not to partici
pate in operations. The Turks shall be
allowed to use Alexandria as a base of
operations, and Turks and British both to
withdraw after the pacification of the coun
try.”
Lord Dufferin rejected this draft and
submitted another, stipulating that the
Turks should not undertake operations
without the previous consent of the British
commander, that. British officers should be
attached to the Turkish headquarters, and
that the question of evacuation should be
the subject of aepeclal Imperial convention.
It is believed that there is no probabii! y of
the Porte’s accepting the English conditions.
A few officers and soldiers have returned on
leave from Suda Bay, where 4,100 Turkish
troops are assembled.
London, August 16.—A dispatch to Reu
ter’s Telegram Company from Constantl
nople says: “Tne report that the Ulemas
have deposed the Sultan is untrue. On the
contrary the Sultan, at the feast of Biiriam
yesterday, received several congratulatory
’elegrams from Cairo and other psrts of
E*vpt.”
The correspondent of the Times at Con
stantinople says: “A small body of Turk
ish cavalry, which embarked for service in
Egypt, landed at Suda Bay instead of at
Alexandria, and the Albanian infantry bat
talion, which waß ordered to embark at
Scutari has received countermanding orders
This i* a significant token in connection
with the fact that the Porte has not yet
fixed a day for the discussion of the militar,’
convention.”
The Times in an editorial article says with
reference to the foregoing dispatch: “We
cannot profess to regret this sign that our
troops may be spared the co-ODeration of
their inconvenient ally.”
The Dailg News has the following dispatch
from Constantinople. “It is stated- in
Turkish circles thar the hesitation to Issue a
proclamation against Arabi Is owing to the
fact that a telegram was received from him
five days ago, expressing his readiness to
submit to the authority of the Caliph, but
stating that he could not leave his soldiers
without a head until the arrival of Turkish
troops In Egypt, when he would Instantly
hand over his command to the Turkish
General. The military convention is still
for the same reason.”
Plymouth, England, August 16—A
special from Alexandria to the Western

lessness of the struggle is spreading among

if it can obtain favorable terms.”
HARLYND, THE DUELIST.
Testimony for the fommonwealili
Concluded
Lunknburg, Va , August 16.—The Gar

Tallahassee, August 14.—Having recently
returned from a trip to the adjoining county
of Wakulla, I have thought an account of the
products, soil and state of the crops may not
be uninteresting. This county constituted a
part of Leon until the act of March 11, 1/443,
when it was organised and its boundaries de
fined. The soil is somewhat different from
that of Leon, as well as the features of the
county, that of the latter being hilly, while
the former is more level. Leon abounds
in red clay hills, while Waku la, being
near the coast, partakes of the nature of all
lands in Florida similarly situated—sandy soil
and extensive forests of pine. But all of her
lands are not pine. There are large tracts of
hummock which in their production compare
favorably with the choicest lands in other sec
tions. Some of these hummock lands yield
readily a bale of cotton to the acre. There
never have been any large plantations
in the county, and as most of the
farms are small, they are tilled
by the labor of their owners. As this has been
the case for a number of years, there are but
few negroes in the county, and in the absence
of large numbers of that element of popula
tion. petty thieving is almost unknown. So se
cure are its denizens, that even the thrifty
housewife does not often put her treasures un
der lock and key, for they say there is but little
need of bolts and bars. Uncleared lands, with
good timber and susceptible of good yield when
cleared under proper cultivation, sell for 50c
to $l per aere, according to the locality and
size of the trait. Cleared lands with improve
ments sell from $2 to $3 per acre. It is em
phatically the white man’s paradise, and when
this section of country settles up, as it soon
will, Wakulla will receive her share of immi
grants.
I found the corn crop to be an unusually
good one, while cane and cotton were much
better than I had expected. Some of the
best planters assured me that the cotton crop
would be even better than last year. Greater
attention is paid to bee culture th-re than any
where in this section. For years past strained
honey has been brought into Tallahassee
an 1 sold by the barrel, and I have no doubt
that an intelligent attention to this industry
would pay well. As it is, the hives are all of
tbe old fashioned patterns, and the modern ap
pliances for extracting the honey from the
comb are unknown. In former years strained
honey brought here seventy-five cents per gal
lon, but as shipments are now made elsewhere
it brings a better price.
Some of the farmer.-: are already getting
ready for the Middle Florida Fair, to be held in
January next, and they cHim that the
Wakulla exhibit on that occnson shall not only
be extensive but varied. They say that they
can send the largest and finest sweet potatoes,
the largest ears of corn and the tallest sugar
cane, and inteno to do so I found, too, that
the farmers’ wives were as enthusiastic as
their husbands, but oie lady showed us a
knit counterpane which she said it required
her a little ovr twelve months to complete,
and she had formerly taken a premium for a
similar one bhe felt very confident of being
equally succes-ful at our coming fair in Janu
ary next.
The people of Wakulla, like the others
of this section, are determined not to hide
their light under a bushel, and if the soil and
products of their county are not known be
yond its limits it will not be their fault. A
few of them are beginning to turn their atten
tion to the now famous Le Conte pear, while
others living near the ranroad are turning
their atte tiou to truck farming, Should the
contemplated road from Carabelle to
Thomasville be built through (Jrawfordviile,
where there are some of the best lands in the
county, it will prove of incalculable benefit to
the people. In some portions of this county
they cultivate a species of squash known as
the Brazilian. It is of the mammoth variety,
and as good for table purposes as the ordinary
squash. I brought home with me one
of these mammoths, grown in the garden of
Nat. R. Walker, Esq., Clerk of the Circuit
Court. This specimen measures three feet in
length, and was not as large, Mr. Walker as
sured me. as some he had raised. On being
pr- pared for the table, I found it fully equal to
the ordinary squash.
The first bale of new cotton was brought in
on Wednesday, 9th, by Mr. R. Bmith, of Mic
cosukie. This same gentleman was in with the
first bale last year. Most of the planters are
now engaged in picking, and in a few weeks
the fleecy staple will begin to arrive daily.
Many of the negro tenants are beginning’ to
understand the doctrine of meum and tuum,
and attachments and replevin of cotton by the
creditor is of rare occurrence. Formerly the
tenant considered actual possession as the right
to dispose of his crop regar less of the claim
of the mortgagee, and the fall of the year was
the harvest season to the Justice Courts as
well as to the husbandman But a few con
victions soon convinced the debtors that the
creditors had rights, and now the courts are
seldom troubled with these kind of cases The
merchant or planter who makes advances
during the year is almost sure to be reimbursed
if there is a good season.
Another of our old citizens has been called
away. On last Baturdav a telegram was re
ceived, stating that Col. William K. Beard (who
some weeks since had gone to Philadelphia to
consult a physician) was dead. Cos). Beard
was a native of this county, and his father,
the late Major John Beard, was one of the
earliest settlers in this section. At the
beginning of the late war, when the
First Florida Regiment, stationed at
Pensacola, was organized, Col. Beard was
elected Lieutenant Colonel. He was subse
quently assigned to duty on the staff of Gen
eral Bragg, where he served to the end of the
war. In this, his native place, he was univer
sally esteemed, and his demise has caused gen
eral sympathy for his grief stricken family.
The rains still continue, though not as fre
quent as they were some weeks ago. Nor is
the cotton injured as much as was feared. On
the contrary in this, as in Wakulla county, the
probability is this crop will be as good, if not
better than it was last year.
when the Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mo
bile Railroad was sold a little over a year ago,
it will be remembered that the decree of
court provided that the purchasers should
have twelve months to take up the old out
standing Pensacola and Gulf Railroad bonds.
The twelve months expired on the Ist of July,
and all of the bonds we e taken up, except
those issued for the benefit of the road to St.
Marks. As the State is authorized, in default
of such payment, to seize tbe road and
sell it for the benefit of the bondholders, the
probability is that Governor Bloxham, bv vir
tue of said decree, will very shortly take pos
session of the St. Marks branch, and after the
usual notice, sell the same for the benefit of
the bondholders. Whether -his default on
the part of the Reed syndicate was an inten
tional abandonment of a branch that
at present is of no profit, I know not
—possibly it is. Tbe Monticello branch has also
been levied on by virtue of an execution in
favor of certain second mortgage bondholders,
and so far its contemplated sale has not been
resisted. As neither of these branches are a
means of profit, but only a convenience to their
immediate localities, it may be that the Florida
Central and Western Railroad Company con
template abandoning them, and that the future
purchasers will have an elephant on their
hands. Lbon.

Freedom of tbe Cliy-Tbetr Wise
Counsel to tbe People.
Dublin, August 16 —E Dwyer Gray,
member of Parliament and proprietor of
the Freeman's journal, was to-day sen
tenced to three months’ imprisonment and
to pay fine of £5OO for contempt of court in
publishing the letter of O’Brien,
editor of United Ireland, accusing
the jury which convicted Francis
Hvnes of the murder of John Dougherty of
being drunk on the night previous to the
day their verdict was given, and an article
commenting thereon. O’Brien and Davttt
were put out of court. Gray, after being
sentenced, was baoded over to the custody
of the City Coroner. The latter evinced
some reluctance to take charge of him, but
Judge Lawson called upon him to do his
duty. The Coroner, whose intervention
was necessary, because Gray is the High
Sheriff of the city of Dublin, then conveyed
the prisoner io Richmond prison.
Gray, at the expiration of his term, must
find sureties, himself for £5OO and two
others in the sum of £2,000 each. The de
cision of the court has caused a great sen
sat on in the city. Gray was Lord Mayor of
Dublin for 1880, and was nominated the
second time for 1881, but declined to serve.
Lord Mayor Dawson ha arranged to call
a special meeting of the corporation on
Monday, with the view of considering meas
ures to secure the release of Mr. Gray.
Crowds are assembling around tbe statue of
O’Connell, and speeches expressing indig
nation at the sentence are being made.
The city hall was densely crowded to-day
on the occasion of the presentation of the
freedom of the city to Messrs. Parnell and
Dillon. Nearly every Mayor in Ireland ex
cept the Mayor of Belfast wa present. Mr.
Storey, Radical member of Parliament for
Sunderland, and the Home Rule members,
were also present. When the roll of the
corporation was called, at tbe mention of
Mr. Gray’s name the whole audience rose
and cheered enthusiastically tor several
minutes.
The Lord Mayor declared that Mr. Gray’s
sentence was equivalent to six months’ Im
prisonment He advised the people to be
most careful and guarded in iheir language,
as they were In the mlds* of a great crisis.
Mr. Paruell, returning thanks to the cor
poration for tbe freedom of the city, said
that In view of tbe recent events it was clear
that liberty of speech no longer existed In
Ireland. He and his associates, however,
would bring the subject before the House
of Commons at the first opportunity.
Mr. Callan, membtr of Parliament for
Louth, has given private notice that he will,
to morrow, call attention to the sentence of
Mr. Gray. Telegrams have been sent to tbe
Irish members at present in Ireland, to re
turn to London to participate In the debate.
The following proclamation, signed by
Lord Mayor Dawson and Messrs. Parnell,
DIHod and Davltt, has been issued:
“Dublin, August 16.— 1 o the Citizens of
Dublin: Without offering any comment,
upon the sentence passed upon the Hon.
E Dwyer Gray, we deem It our duty to In
voke the people to maintain calmness and
a dignified demeanor. We are expressing
the wishes of Mr. Gray In counseling our
fellow citizens to abstain from any gather
ings in the street that might lead to
a breach of the peace. We require only
calumets and temperance In the present
emergency. Hundreds of thousands of
visitors kept the peace In Dublin yesterday.
Let the citizens show equal prudence and
self control on this occasion.”
London, August 16 —ln the House of
Commons this afternoon Captain Nolan
(member for Gtlway) wished to call atten
tion to the Imprisonment of Mr. Gray, but
was ruled out of order.

A Grand Conclave—Bold Declare*
tlona.
Paris, August 16.—A meeting of Bona
partists was held here yesterday, which was
attended by four thousand persons. Among
those present were MM. De Casaganac and
Amtques. Resolutions were passed favor
ing tne placing of Trfnce Victor Napoleon
upon the throne of France.
M. De Cassagnac made a speech in which
he declared that the Imperialists were ready
for power and meant to take it. He stated
that the fifteenth of August had been
specially chosen for the holding of the
meeting. “In a few years,” said he, “the
fifteenth of August, the Fete Napoleon
will be the fete day of the Empire of
France.”
Snow, Cold, and Frost In the West.
Madison (WU.) Journal, August 10.
The weather which is being expe
rienced in this State at present is truly
remarkable and is the cause of surprise
to every one. That fires should be re
quired at this season of the year to main
a comfortable temperature in doors is
something almost unheard of. August is
usually the warmest month of the twelve,
while this summer it partakes far more of
the frosty air of October. Tuesday night
and last night the temperature was but
two or three degrees above the freezing
point, and fears are beginning to be
entertained for the crops, especially those
of corn, sorghum, and fruit. The rains
of yesterday were chilly, and were ac
companied by fitful, raw winds of a de
cidedly disagreeable nature. Snow is
reported as having fallen in some per
tions of Minnesota, and at Janesville,
which is considerably south of this city,
the same phenomenon occurred. The
Janesville Gazette of yesterday says: “A
most unusual phenomenon occurred this
afternoon at about 2:33 o’clock, a
conclusive proof that though this year
is a decidedly off one in weather,
it has not yet developed
all Its peculiarities. This
morning it was cloudy, with every ap
pearance of rain, and the thermometer
was down in the ulster regions. Later
the clouds disappeared and the sun shone
out bright and warm. At 2 o’clock the
clouds gathered again, and 2:20 it began
to drizzle. Accompanying the slight
rain was snow. A hundred gentlemen
saw it and will vouch for it. Snow in
midsummer, when the mercury only two
days before was perspiring in the
nineties, is something rather extraordi
nary, particularly as tfie thermometer
at the time registered 64 deg. above zero.
To cap the climax or the climate,
in ten minutes after the snow fall the sun
again shone out Tbe flakes were small
and thin, and had a half-starved out-of
season look, but they were plainly distin
guished.” A gentleman who left Sparta
this morning informs us that there was
considerable white frost visible on the
line between Sparta and Portage. He
thinks tobacco must have been destroyed,
but farmers hoped corn was not seriously
injured. From persons who arrived in
the city to day from up the Chicago and
Northwestern Road, It is learned that
there was a slight frost at Elroy early
this morning.

bla Attantlon to Longatreet—A
Spicy Reply to a Cheeky Reqneat.
The following correspondence between
Mr. R. D Locke and Col. Thos. Hardeman
is decidedly rich, rare and racy:
Washington, D. C., August 8— Colonel
Thomas Hardeman, Macon, Ga.— Dear Sir:
I tender you Hearty congratulations upon
your nomination by the Democratic party
for Congressman at-large. As the Republl
can party of Georgia in convention at At
lanta recently nominated me for the same
office, I trust you will consent to a joint
campaign of the State with me. I will
visit Macon within ten days to arrange with
you the details of the campaign, provided
you are willing to discuss with me, before
the people,whatever issues may be involved
As I will be here but a few days, you may
address me,care of Mr. W.W. Brown, Macon.
I am, with great respect, your obedient, ser-
R D. Lock*.
Macon, Ga , August 14, 1882 —Jfr. R. D.
Locke — Dbak Bir: I am In receipt of your
letter of the Bth Instant, from Washirgton
City, tendering your congratulations upon
my nomination by the Democratic party for
the position of Congressman-at-large, and
asking if I will “consent to a joint cam
paign of the Btate with you,” as “the Re
publican party of Georgia, in convention at
Atlanta, recently nominated” you for the
same position. While I thank you for your
kind congratulations, you will permit me to
express my surprise at the information con
tained in your letter about tbe action of jUhe
“Republican party of Georgia.” I havsMF
fore me tbe Naticnai, August 10, 188®*
political paper published in Atlanta, Ga,
and said to be the organ of that party,
Ing the proceedings of “the Republican
State Convention,” which bas at the heed
of its columns the following:
‘‘REPUBLICAN BTATK TICKST.
“For Secretary of State
tl Wm. I White,' of Richmond.
“For Attorney General,
“John D. Cunningham, of Fulton
* * * * * * *
“REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET
“For Congressman-at-large,
“James Longstreet, <f Hall."
I am therefore constrained to ask If the
nominee ot the Republican State Conven
tion, James Longstreet, has been with
drawn, and if yon have been substituted in
his place? That paper speaks of a conven
tion of “bolters,” comprised, as It asserts,
“of a few gentlemen and represen'a’ives of
every other grade of society, from the ex
convlet down to tbestrollingvagabond from
SkowhegaD,” which was opened with prayer
(so it affirms) “by a convict lately dis
charged from the Georgia penitentiary,
and wound up by putting out a
bastard ticket, to be set down upon
by honest Republicans.” but It does
not inform the public wno were the nomi
nees of that, convention. While I do not
adopt H 6 my own, nor have I the heart to
approve the very harsh and acrimonious
language of that paper against “the bolt
ers,” yeti am forced to the conclusion you
are one of-ttae nominees of that body of men
alluded to In said paper, “who, to ssre
themselves from utter rout, bolted the con
vention and organized another body,” and
placed In nomination that “basturd tictog*”,
in opposition to the one nominated by “tue
Republican State Convention*” cm whirl) fi
tinjj the name of “James 1/mgstreM” f<jg I
“Congtc-:man-ftt-large ” I would there-'
fore respectfully but hindly cugeeet^ffi
these faers as stated by tbe organ of the
Republican p;rty be true (and it does not
become me to deny them), that you
are opposing James Longstreet for
Congre-sman-at-large and not mvself,
and that you should have addressed your
communication to him. asking him to can
vass with you before the people of Georgia,
the claims of the candidates of these re
spective conventions, and that if he consents
to the arrangement, I know you will agree
with me that it would be exceedingly unbe
coming in'me to advise you to neglect, for
this purpose, your public duties, and still
more ungenerous to take sides with either
wing of the party in their “labor to have
all past differences between tbe Republicans
honorably and amicably adjusted,” so that
vou might be enabled as you say, “to move
forward together to win victory over the
common enemy, Bourbon Democracy.”
As 1 will not be in Macon at tbe time you
say you will reach our city, I have answered
your very kind letter through the columns
of the Telegraph an-i Messenger of this city,
hoping that It will be copiofi In your organ
the National, in Atlanta. I am, sir, v r y re !
spectfully, Thomas Hardeman. '
Through the Suez Canal.
SI. Louts Republican.
After coaling at Malta we steamed down
he Mediterranean, over the smoothest sea
and beneath the bluest sky it was ever mv
happy portion to see. It was about 5
o’clock one morning when we first saw the
lighthouse at Port Said, and about 8 we en
tered between the two piers which guard
the entrance to the canal and stretch far out
into the Mediterranean. Passing a Turkish'
frigate and a French ram, we slowly
steamed close to the left hand shore and
made fast to a buoy. No sooner were we
fast than the Arabs swarmed on board, and
soon coal was coming over the side and into
the bunkers at a rapid rate from tbe bargee
alongside. On the left hand, for a long dis
tance, stretched coal sheds, for this Is the
great coaling port of steamers bound
eastward, there being quite a ‘Ter
ence In the price here and at other
end of the canal. On the right was
the town of Port Said, while in front, lost
far in the desert, appeared the canal, the
grandest engineering feat of the age. Just
fancy tbe amount of labor, when It was
necessary to carry the sand a mile off into
the desert, and at the same time prevent the
surrounding sand from drifting and rolling
into its place. Just take a handful of sand
out from a pile and see how quickly the
hollow is filled up, and you can then form
some Idea of the undertaking. I was told
out there that tbe English abandoned tbe
work through inability to obtain laborers at
any price, and that the French only suc
ceeded by convict labor) that the soldiers
stood guard and a refusal to work was in
stantly followed by a shot, and that every
foot of the canal is a monument to some
poor devil, sent in short order to the Arab
ian paradise. However this was, the canal
was finished and is to-day the only route
for steamers to the East. About 1 o’clock
the pilot came on board, and In a few min
utes we left our mooring and steamed into
the canal. The channel has about 26 feet of
water In It and which is only kept at that
depth by constant work at the dredges and
by strengthening tbe sides by sinking rock
and walling up the sides where they are the
most threatening. Qo both ;aides the em
bankments rise ur to a height of ten or fif
teen feet and are composed of tbe dull
brown sands which stretch sway on both
sides as far as the eye can 6ee, the horizon
shrouded in the blinding glare of the heated
air rising from the burning sands till the
eyes ache and tbe heart sickens at the dis
mal scene. With what relief we turn to the
canal stretching like a blue sparkling ribbon
and feast our eyes at tbe sight of a sta
tion looming up a half mile ahead
with its little cottage, Its shrubbery and
trees planted right in the midst of a
desert and drawing life from a soil which
had been brought a hundred miles to make
life endurable to tbe station master, banish
ed away out here, hundreds of miles from
bis own fair France, for who else but a
Frenchman would ever think ftf bringing
bis garden with him, with its flowers and
trees, out here in this wilderness of sands?
We tied up a few seconds to let one of the
large P. and 0. steamers pass us for
every vessel must give wav to the
‘ Boy* l . Mall,” except men of war,
which have the right of way eve
rywhere. The “canal” is Do t wide
enough for vessels to pass each other, so
every quarter of a mile or %o there ie a wider
oiace for tying up, and the vessel reaching
there fipst makes fast to the bank and allows
the other one to pass, except In the case of
a vessel carrying the mall or a man-of-war,
b jtta of which go right through without
stopping, except during the night
Qn tbe right hand side runs a track, and I
was startled by the familiar sound of the en
gine whistle, and tbe next minute a train
swept on by at the rate of forty miles an
hour, while overhead.
“Like strings of ghosts
The telegraph poets
Come quickly trooping by.”
I noticed on the other bank a veritable
caravan, such as one reads about and sees so
much in pictures of the great desert —horses
and camels, and the old man all wrapped up
In his white clothes,with tbe same long rifle,
with Its crooked stock, which l have seen
duplicated on canvas till \ felt an inclina
tion to extend a hand and say, “How are
you, old boy,” for old acquaintance sake.
And then I thought what a difference be
tween the two banks. Here the railroad
the telegraph—and there the old Arab trav
eling as bis father and his grandfather and
his great grandfather did a hundred years
ago—a century separated by this narrow
stream.
w ® tled “P. having made about
thirty miles, as we were only allowed to go
“slow" through tbe canal for fear of Injur
ing the banka. Tbe next morning found ua
on our way, and soon we were threading
the crooked channel through the lake, with
the town of IsmalHs broad off the port beam.
After about two hours stesmlug at full
speed we again slowed down and entered
the part of the canal and again passed
through between the same brown bank
with disgust and only enlivened by the sta
tions, with their few feet of surrounding
verdure, and occasional steamers bound to
the westward, too few and far between
which we passed or which passed us, until
we finally steamed into the Gulf of Suez,
about five in tbe afternoon.
Off on our left gleamed the houses of
Suez, and here we left our French pilot and
took up a native Red Sea pilot, black as coal
and mute as one of the sphynxes which
adorn his native deserts.
The Competition Between was and
Electricity.
From “Electric and Gas Illumination," by C.
M. Lungren, in Popular Science Monthly.
On these figures the cost of electricity Is
near enough to that of gas to enable It to
offer a very substantial competition, and one
wbich.may be expected to grow stronger
with increased experience and future im
provements. That under the stimulus of
this competition considerable improvement
will be made in lighting by gas seems very
probable. Already it has been shown that
in the matter of burners there Is a wide field
for invention, and that the results now
usually obtained are much under what are
possible. With the high-power burners of
Siemens, the Illumination obtained from six
teen candle grs has been more than
doubled, and In others it has been carried
up to from five t> five and half can
dles per fc )t. How suitable burners
yielding such a great Increase of
light will be for the general pur
poses of lighting, and whether they can
with advantage displace the simple flat tip,
remains to be e ;en, but the present Indica
tions are tbat it is chiefly through the use
of improved burners tbat gas must endeavor
to resist tbe assaults of the incandescent
light. Competition on the basis of a gas of
higher Illuminating power simply, with
out a resort \o improved burners,
does not seem very promising. The re
cently published report of the sub commis
sion appointed to test the Incandescent
lamps at the Paris Exhibition, of which Mr.
Crookes was a member, shows that a thirty
two candle lamp can be maintained with an
increase of from 23 to 37 per cent of tbe
power required to sustain one of sixteen
candles, while with gas such an increase of
illumination will require an additional ex
pense of fully 50 per cent of the cost of
■me of the lower candle power. This Is so
-man-Bfactore and burner*’
—ls sufficiently far off to give gas unques
tioned possession of the field of lighting or
not, the result, can alone determine. But, if
tbe figures presented in this paper can be at
all relied upon, they show that gas manu
facturers, and those interested in gas prop
erty, will do yvHI not to underrate the
strength In their own domain of this rising
Industrial power.
