A Spanish Relic in Georgia.

A9AAAbtAlSt- tsfsAl Oc4uNSAdA
We have in our sanctum one of
the most interesting relics of tie
past ages thst we ever saw. 1t is a
part of the armor worn by a Span
ish soldier nearly three and a half
centuries ago. and consists of he'll
met. with visor. aud one arm. all be-
ing Of wrought iron. one-sixth of an
inch thick. and weighing seventeen
pounds. Some idea can thus be form
ed of the weight of the entire suit
OF mail. when We say that the above
constitutes less than pHe-third of It.
This relic was psoughed up by a far
mer in jefferson county, Florida,
about the year 1857. lie did not
know " hat it, was, or perhaps he
would have reclaimed it all but he
only-took enough for use as weights
to his lot gate. for which it answer
ed admirably. Some years after
ward a gentleman passing this far
mer's house was struck by the oddi-
tyrof the construction, of the old iron
with which the gate was weighted.

armor from the fairness which he
carried 10 Tallahassee. where con.
siderable interest and attention
were attracted thereto. The gen.
tleman went to Cuba, where he died.
leaving the relic with the late Attor.
ney General Galbreath. of Florida.
It is now in possession of Mrs. w.
B. Wright. sister of the Attorney !
General, who resides eight miles
south of Bainhridge. and it was
through her courtesy that we have
had the pleasure OF seeing it. The
soldier who wore this armor was, be-
yond doubt, one of the followers
of Fernando DeSoto. the tliscoverer
Of the Mississippi, who explored
Florida IN the year 1889. The SOL
dier was probably killed in one oil
tile many battles which that gallant
band had with the Indians. aud was
buried with his armor on, three hum
dred and sixty years ago.

Of the House Committee on the Jn-
dieiary to day. with reference to the
late sTFans-continental Railroad Co.
He testified that he knew of no
money having been improperly spent
to influence the passage OF the bill,
and therefore could not furnish q
list Of beneficiaries as he had been
asked. to do by the Committee. He
was closely questioned about ther ne
gotiations of the bonds of the Mem
phis & FL Paso Company in Europe,
and said the Company sold them to
Poradis. of Paris. who was st the
head of the Stock Exchange. and
who put them on the market with
the declaration that they were guar
ranteed by the United States, which
was not the fact. The Company not
only did not advise, but knew moth
ing Of such a declaration until after
it was made.
The Pacific Railroad Committee
had quorum this afternoon. and on
motion Of Mr.. Atkins, adjourned for
a week, as some members were nee
essarily absent. Ta

WAsIIISGToN Feb. 22.-The Ma.
tional Democratic Committee met
to-day at half past twelve O'Clock.
There was large attendance OF merz-
bers and a few proxies But little
business was transacted mp to the
time Of ofclosing.
Sc. Louis was selected as the place
Of the meeting or the National DEM
ocratic Convention. She beat Chi
cagO two votes.
Retrenchment reaches depart
ments. The Pardon Clerks will he

where. where the expenses have
been enormous viii be consolidated.
The National Democratic Com
mittee were all present, Mr.. ScLeIl
in the chair. The Nominating Ma
tional Convention meets the 27th of
Jnne. One speech is allowed by the
delegation from each city claiming
the convention. Charles ID. Jacobs.
Mayor of Louisville. read a paper
drawn up by the Kentucky deIega-
tion in favor Of holding the Conven-
ton in that city Louisville is the
Democratic metropolis Of Demo-
cratic State that gives forty thou
sand majority State so uniformly
Democratic that it should meet with
some reward for her adherence TO
truth, right and Justice. Kentucky
is central. and has no sympathy with
the ultraism Of any section. Louis
vile has hall capable of seating
250O.1 but if necessary. for more
room the Exposition buildings could
be secured. all incidental expenses
being paid. The hotels had agreed
to charge only the usual rates. and
many citizens, if the hotels should
he overcrowded would open their
houses to guests. Kentucky had no
son to present for nomination. and
therefore the deliberations would be
free from improper influences. Ken
tucky would cheerfu!Iy acquiese in
whatever tbe Convention might de-
diCie. MR. acobs. in conclusion. as
Mayor of Louisville. promised that
should the Convention, meet in that
city, the hospitality would be snch
that every delegate on his return
would feel as if he had never left
