WE have all along claimed that the
GRANT Gush in the South has been con-
fined to irresponsible and uninluential cir
cles so to speak, and that the Bourbon
leaders are one and all against it. The
Daily Fence Rail now confirms this claim
by reporting couple of columns of curb
stone and gin-cOcktail interviews with
Southern Congressman who have arrived in
the city and who express themselves op.

SENATOR KELLOGG manages his own
case in the pending investigation before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, aud the result thus far shows that he
is rarity in that he is a self.employed
lawyer whose client is far from being a
fool. In fact, he has succeeded in non
plussing his prosecuting prosecutors and
exposing, to the disgust of every honest
man, the flimsy conspiracy upon which
they relied to oust him from his seat.

WHILE the Washington REPUBLICAN is a
valiant champion Of GARFIELD for the Senate,
the Republican press Of Ohio seem to be
slightly lukowarm on the subject. IL is
greatly to be regretted that Mr.. GARFIELD is
not en- rapport with the SHERMAN crowd,
though the fact that he is not is somewhat
complimentary to Mr.. PhtsJWg
Dispatch.
LikeSecretary SHERMAN, THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN has not interlered in the
Senatorial contest of Ohio, and has expressed
no preferences as between the rival candi-
dates 1t discusses General GARFIELD's
merits per Sc without being his champion
for the Senate, though the State could go

GENERAL JOSEPH +. JOHNSON, of the
Confederate service, is now the putative in
ventor of the proposition to create the
Office of Captaiu-General, aud confer it
upon General GRANT for life. The idea is
full of ceverness toward General GRANT,
but after all II smacks q little of ARTEMUs
WARDS patriotism in putting down the re-
bellon. His wifes relations, and not him
self, could be used to any extent for that
purpose. The enemies of General GRANT
acknowledge his merits, and are prepared
to confer upon him anything but the Pres
idency.

JOURNALISTIC INTERVIEWING.

Hon. ALEX. III. STEPHENS has come to
the conclusion that it is not safe for states
man, when he visits Washington, TO bring
his mouth with him. He has discovered
that if he indulges its use in any degree it
is made to say things that he had never
thought of saying, and hence it is source
of deep regret with him that he had not
left his organs Of speech at home when he
came here to fill mis- seat in Congress Mr..
STEPHENS has felt called upon to write a
very recent letter to the Augusta Chronicle,
in which he most emphatically denies the
truth of the dispatch about him sent from
here to the Savannah Nelcs, which was in
effect that he was in accord with DIR.
FELTON, in writing his recent letter, aud
that he contemplated writing similar one,
and that he had said it was a matter of in
difference to him what the newspapers said
ON the subject that he represented his dis
trict, and the sooner the newspapers in
Georgia and other parts of the South found
this out the better it would be for them
All of this Mr.. STEPHENS now declares to
be utterly without foundation"
Then, in referring to thealleged interview
with him published in the Star, in which
he was made to say, among other things,
that if Democratic dissensions in New York
continue "our only hope of success is de-
stroyed, and the South will look out for
| "herself''-that the South to-day prefers
GRANT as Dictator to SHERMAN or Ros-
"CoE CONKLING as President THAT among
the Southern soldiery there is great re-
"spect and reverence for GRANT" and that
the people of the South would support
GRANT in preference to any other man of
the Republican party. Mr.. STEPHENS pro-
nounces &c the whole thing groundless fab
rication.n The following is Mr.. STEPHENS
letter:
wAsHINeToN, d. c., November 81 1879
Editors Chronicle aud CoRSiithioHalist:
DEAR SIRs: Your paper of yesterday is just
at hand. In il | see. for he first time what
purports to be the report of an interview be-
tween me and some one on the Star newspaper
! in this city, and also a telegram from this
city to the Morning Nelrs, of Savannah, of
the 18th instant. Now, l wish you and your
readers to know that there Is not one word of
truth in either of these publications. No
such interview ever took place between me
and a reporter of the Star, or anybody else
The whole thing is groundless fabrication
from beginning to end. The telegram to the
Morning Ne,Os, of Savannah, is also utterly
without foundation.
wish you to do me the justice to publish
thisunqualifed denial Of the above mentioned
report. And | trust that the people Of Georgia
who have any regard for truth, will not bC
misled as to my sayings or doings by giving
credence to any such anonymous representa-

The rascals did not reply, but with

\ REMARKABLE LOVE STORY

The most remarkable love story of the
summer is told by the Port Jervis Union.
-Four years ago a gentleman of % won
the heart of lady of 70. She was the
daughter OF pious parents, and, although
she was not connected with any ch urch,
looked with a feeling akin to horror on
anything approaching skepticisnH But
the time came when she learned that her
lover was deist: that he had no venera-
ton for the bible, aud took no interest in
churches. She was deeply panied by
the revelation. She sent for her lover
and endeavored to convince him of his
error, but he was not satisfied with her
arguments. She finally wrote him q
tear-stalned letter bidding him good bye
forever. The lady mourned. but tried
to satisfy herself that she had acted cor
ractly. Two years made her moro Hbor-
al tban she had been. The more she
read the more she distrnsted her former
decision, and she finally became quite as
liberal as the lover she had discarded.
The lover, too, had undergone a change.
Last winter revival of religion took
place in the city in which he was engag-
ed III business. Suffice it to say that he
united with the church, and in a short
time became n jealous member. He
thought over the action of his former
sweet heart in diacarding him for his
lniidellty, and wrote her a brief note,
asking the privilege of once moro calling
on her. When she timidly apologized
for her previous dismissal of him. he, to
her surprise, defended her conduct. said |
she had been in the right, and in her
place he would do the same. Rer heart |
sank at these words. She confessed the
great change in her sentiments; from
being firm believer in the Bible, she
had discarded it, and with it her belief |
IN any revealed religion. He pleaded
with her, urged everything he could
-hlnk Of to induce her to change her
mind. She could not, and told him SO.
tie felt that he must not be yoked to an
and gave her up.

CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of the sud-
den deaths, an experiment was tried and
reported to a scientific congress at Stras-
burg. Sixty-six cases of sudden death
were made the subject of q thorough
post-mortem exanaination in these cases
only two were found who died from di-
seases of the heart. Nine out OF &c had
died from apoplexy, while there were 46
cases of congestion of the lungs; that is,
the lungs We're so full of blood they
could not work, not being room enough
for q sufficient quantity Of air to support
life. The causes that produce conges-
ton of the lungs are: cold feet, tight
clothing, costiye bowels, sitting still
until chilled after being warmed with
labor or rapid walking, going too sud.
denly from close room into the air,
especially after speaking, too hasty walk
ing, or running to catch train, etc.
These causes of sudden death being
known, an avoidance of them may serve
to lengthen many valuable lives, which
would otherwise be lost under the YER
dict of the heart complaint. That di-
sease is supposed to be inevitable and
incuable hence, many may not take
/ the pains they would to avoid sudden
death, if they knew II lay in their power.

A CHASTITY MURDER.

GREEN BAY, July 1.-The town of
Glenmore, in this county, five miles east
OF this city, is just now in a state of the
greatest pertuberation over foul murder
committed within its borders within the
last day or two. Last evening, missing
her presence about her residence, Neigh
bors made search of the premises of the
widow Ann Ryan, without success, but
the barking of her dog in the woods
few rods adjacent attracting attention,
sher apnroach hed the locality and there
side OF the face. Further examination
conveyed the impression that the deed
had been committed on Saturdy, and an
axe the implement used. There is a di-
yersity of opinion as to the cause or
object of the murder, some assigning
pluder as the object, and others imagine
she got into an alteration with lawless
thieves and they to prevent her making
trouble, put her out of the way in the
manner intimated. She was q woman of
over 60 years of age and lived alone.
From the position in which the body was
found it is believed more than one per,
sons was implicated in the foul proceed
ing. The authorities are doing all IL
their power to get at the bottom facts in
the case, and if possible bring the guilty
parties to speedy retribution.

iF THE SAHARA IS FLOODED.
WHAT?

The only important objection which
has thus far been urged against the un-
dertaking has arisen in the apprehen-
slons expressed by few scientists that
the evaporation produced by so large
and so shallow body Of water, exposed
to the tropical sun, would be sufficient
to deluge northern Europe with lnccs-
SAINT rains, and to reduce materially the
temperature in all the countries north
of the Alps. 1t has even been feared
that winds frcighted with moisture on
crossing the cold SUBMITS of. the Alps.

the topography of the Sahara and North

el is practically shut in by mountain
chains On ali sides. The Atlas Noun
tains on the north, lifting their snow
clad peaks in some instances l2,00O
feet, afford sufficient bulwark for the
protection of Europe from increased
humidity. Tie only possible northern
" outlet for air currents from Ell Juf
would be across Tunis in a northeasterly
direction over the widest part of the
Mediterranean. Currents moving IN
that direction, if they reached Europe
at all, would touch the shores of Greece
after they had lost most Of their humid
| ity. N de Lesseps, after a careful ex-
animation of the question, is convinced
that it would result in the general I'M
provement of the climate Of Europe
rather than to its detriment. The ad
