A SAVANNAH MERCHANT KILLED BIZ FALLING
PROM WNDow.-About halfpast o'clock
Sunday morning, Mr.. Robert I. Caughey, a
guest of the Marshall House, and well-known
cotton merchant of Savannah, was found lying
in the hotel yard, groaning, with a large cut
oyer his forehead and his Left leg broken.
Medical aid was summoned and his wounds
were dressed, and the sufferer was removed
to his room, where he died In about an hour
after he was discovered. The base of his skull
was fractured. The deceased had been labor
ing under strong mental excitement on Satur-
day evening, and had procured ner-
vine with which to quiet his nerves on Satur
day night, and was in bed at II o'clock Satur
dsy night, not under the influence Of liquor.
The coroner's jury, after hearing evidence,
found that the deceased had come to his death
j by falling, accidentally, out his room window
in the Marshall House, while laboring under
temporary alteration of mind, caused by ex-
treme nervous excitement. He was native
of Belfast, Ireland, but for twenty years had
resided in Savannah, engaged as colt on
buver

San FRANCISCO, June I.
The returns from Oregon are meagre. The
indications are that the legislative contest
will be very close. Grover, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, will probably be elect

the election passed off quietly. The Republi-
cans claim majority in that city and county
ami some gain in other counties, and believe
the vote in the State very close.

the election of Governor, but claim the Legis-

The Northern cotton firm whose failure has
already been briefly announced is Gorham,
Gray & Co., OF New York and Boston. and
their liabilities will be for about $1,000 bales.
The firm commenced buying some two months
AGO. and the boldness of their operations is
said to have been leading cause of the steady
tone of the New York market during that Pc
riod. The losses would have been far heavier
but that their liability to make good their
offers was questioned. Most of the contracts
were in the name Of the suspended firm,

Il BITTER RETORT.
Professor Goldvvin Smith and Disrae-
lis "LothaIr.'

The New York Tribune prints the following,
as it says, by request:
The Riqht Hon. B. Disraeli:
SIR-In your "Lothair." You Introduce an
Oxford professor who Is about to emigrate to
America, and you describe him rs n social
parasite"
You well know that If you had ventnred
openly 10 accuse me OF any social baseness you
would have had to answer for your words.
But when, shcltering Yourself under the lite
rary forms Of work Of fiction, you seek TO
tradlce with lmpunity the social character OF
a political opponent, your expressions can
touch no mans hOnor-they arc the stingless
insults of a coward.
Your 0bedient servant.
GoLDwIN SMITH.
The passage in ''Lothair,' In which it Is sup
posed Professor Smith is referred to. is tile
following:
The Oxford professor who was the guest of
the American colonel. wa quite q young man,
of advanced opinions on all subjects, religious,
social and political. He was clever, extremely
well informed, so far as books can make a man
knowing, but unable to profit evenly his lin
tied experience of life from 4 restless vanity
and overnowlng coRceit, which prevent him
from ever observing or thinking Of anything
bn, L',,self. He was gifted with great COM
man. of words, which took the form of end
los. exposition. varied by sarcasm and pas
slres OF ornate largon. He was the last per-
son one would have expected to recognize in
an Oxford professor but we live in times of
transition.
A Partisan man of science, who had passed
his life in alternately fighting at barricades and
discovering planets, had given Colonel Cam
pain, who had lived mich in the French capi-
ital, q letter ofintrOductiOn to the professor
whose invectves against the principles OF
English society, were hailed by foreigners as
representative of the sentiments OF venerable
Oxford The professor, who was not satisfied
with his home career. and, like many men of
his order of mind, had dreams OF wild vanity
which the new world, they think. can alone
realize, was very glad to make the colonpl's
acquaintance, which might facilitate his lutnre
movements. So he had lionized the distin.
ruisted visitors during the last few days over
the university, and had availrd himself of plen.
teous opportunities of exhibiting to them his
celebrated powers Of exposition, his talent for
sarcasm, which he deemed peerless, and seve.
raj higlhy-inished, picturesque passages,
which were introduced with extemporary art.
The professor was very much surprised
when he saw Lothair enter the saloon al the
hotel. lie was the last person In Oxford whom
he expected to encounter. Like sedentary
men OF extreme opinions, he was a social
parasite, and instead of indulging in his usual
invectives against peers and princes, "ndlng
himself unexpectedly about to dine with one
of that class, he was content only to dazzle
aud amuse him
