The acrimonious letter of Cong
ressman FELTON,, some passages from
which are published elsewhere, is
written in reply to a letter of Sena-
tor Gordon. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. FELTON, was elected as an
Independent, defeating the regular
Democratic candidate. \ week OF
two ago a Washington correspond
ent published a letter, i'll which it
was asserted that, during the can
vass. Nh. FELTON, had applied to the
Republican Committee at Washlng
ton for assistance. This letter curl
ously enough, brought Mrs. FELTON,
into print. 1t seems that 1t was she
who wrote to the Committee, and
the help she sought was not money
but the support or the neutrality of
the Republicans in Mr.. Felton's
district. In her letter Mrs. FELTON,
did not handle Senator Gordon very
tenderly, and charged that it vas
he who induced the Washington
correspondent to make the attack
upon her husband. 1t was now
Senator Gordon's turn to write a
letter, and to this letter Congress
man FELTON, makes reply. The con
is not likely to do any good
The Augusta Chronicle and Consti-
nationalist suggests that the alluSi-
ons to Senator Gordon's u~nsuccess-
full business undertakings are inten- |
ded to divert public attention from
the close alliance In Georgia of In
dependentism and Radicalism. We
doubt that it will have this effect.
The ''black line of battle Differed
bv white faces" will be promptly
recognized as 'sthe old foe under a
{ name.
The remarks of the Chronicle and
Constituencies about Senator
Gordon are considerable and fair.

him. There is, however, III South

Seamen Rescued by the Star OF the East.
1t will be remembered what a dark and
threatening night it was last Monday. 1t
was the night of the regular trip of the Star
of the East to Boston, but the steamer did
not venture out of the river but laid there till
four O'Clock Tuesday morning. when she got
under way. About eight o'clock the Star
came across the house of vessel and upon
it were three men and the body Of another
one The vessel the men belonged to was
wrecked the night before on Cape Elizabeth,
one of the crew being lost from the rigging,
and the other four saving themselves by
clinging to the house. One of the four on
the house put rope about his body and UNI
dertook to reach the shore, but he lost his
life in the attempt, and his body was drawn
upon the house by his companions. When
the sailors were rescued from their frail raft
it was about to go to pieces. What were the
sufferings of these men may well be con-
ceived when it is considered what chilling
night it was even upon the land.
On the arrival of the steamer in Boston
the body was given to the undertaken, and
the survivors were cared for. 1t is said that
the name Of the vessel was the "Lisbon"
that she hailed from Sedgwick and that the
captains name was Potter.

her death by poisoning. The suspicious cir

Mrs. Parker's household thought more of her
