Our County Chairman,


Notwithstanding the Convention forgot to
specially acknowledge the faithful and efficient
services of the Chairman of the Executive Com /.
mittee Of the democratic party of. this County
during the past two years, the high compliment
paid him by unanimous reelection to that or
duous and responsible position, was more fore
ible expression Of their appreciation of his
sagacious and untiring labors for the success of
the party than any laudatory words in resolu-
ton could convey.
Mr.. Munro has filled the laborious and trying
position of County Chairman with great ability
and disinterested devotion. To him more
than to any other man in the County, we believe
the people are indebted for the harmony and
enthusiasm which pervaded the ranks of the
democratic party and secured us the glorious
victory in 1873. In his reelection the members
Of the Convention displayed great sagacity, for
we doubt much if there is another man in the
county who could All the position with as much
satisfaction to the people and ensure greater
success to the democratic party.

Senator Gordon's Resignation.

The following official communication from
General John Ii. Gordon came to the Executive
oihce like q bolt out Of the blue. Its coming
had not been heralded even by rumors, and all
to whom the news first found it's way were in
crelulous, and only became believers in its gem
uineness when there no longer room Tor
doubt. We give in full General Gordou's resig-
nation:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, ID. O., May l5, 1880.
To HIS ELceltcncy Gorernor Il. H. Cotquitt, At
tdntd Ga.
SIR: ] hereby tender to you my resignation
as United States Senator from Georgia.
In taking this step am simply carrying out
long cherished desire to retire from public life.
L have hitherto subordinated that desire to n
sense Of duty and to my reluctance to leave the
service of n noble and generous people who have
honored me with the most exalted station and
supported me in tho discharge Of its duties with
answering confidence.
Since April, lSG1-for nearly twenty years
my life has been one of incessant anxiety and
of great labor. For more than one-half Of that
long period, either in war or in public office, my
energies have been devoted TO what conceived
to be the welfare of the Southern people and the
best interests Of the whole country. And now
that the restoration Of Louisiana and South Car
olina to the rights of scf-governmens secures
to the entire Soath her full and rightful repre-
sen'ntion in the legislative department of the
rcucrai government, my most cherlsheu oo0ect
in politics has been attained. l am left free
therefore 10 consult my incinations and the i'm
perative Interests of my family, without the
least detriment to the public service.
give way to some successor who will, trust
serve the country with greater ability than my
self; but who, am sure, will not do so with
greater devotion or purer m olives. am, most
respectfully, your obedient servant,
]. B. GORDON.
Immediately upon the receipt Of the foregoing
letter, Governor ColqLitt sent the following dis
patch, hoping 10 procure its withdrawal:
MAY 1S, 1880.-General John Is. Gordon,
Washington, d. c.: In behalf of the people of
Georgia, beg that you recall your resignation.
fyou cannot do so Internationally, withhold il

SO strong th' words cannot express it; that
Brown is not representative of Georgia nor of

have lncarcerated many of her best citizens,
placed them under the galows and brought in

The Associated Press kilograms from St
Paul have of late been notoriously inaccu.
rate, and are calculated TO do our people
and city great injury. The following rela
tive to the White Bear disaster is a sample
yacht, containing fourteen persons. cap
sized on White Bear Lake, twelve miles from
here, yesterday morning. A sudden squat
struck the boat, and, no one being capable OF
managing it, the yacht turned over. Seven
unmarried men swan asoore without max
ing an effort TO save the women and children,
all of whom we're drowned. Frank Gibson,
tho only married man in the party, tried to
save his wife and children, and was drowned
with them.
With the exception of the statement that
the boat capsized the dispatch quoted is
false in every particular, and does grave
injustice to men who did all that human be-
iugs could do to save their perishing associ-
stes. The fact that the correspondent OF
the Associated Press is an employee of the
Pioneer Press, and depends for his infor-
nation upon the notoriouslyl inaccurate re-
porters of that paper may account for his
frequent blunders, but it is no compliment
TO st. Paul TO have such gross miss.atements

MR. GRAY,S HERsI0N.
He Accuses the Brother of Klttie With
Being Romancer.

Being kOmancer.
Mr.. j. B. Gray, of Osakis, who was referred
to in a recent issue of the GLOBE in some-
what uncomplimentary manner in connection
with the case of little Kittie Hall, the child al
legged to have been abducted by him from her
mother in Sherman. Texas, and recovered by
her brother, desires to make an explanation and
denial of the statements made. Mr.. Gray al
leges in the first place that he took the girl and
cared for her as his own child with the full
ever since Mrs. Hall has known of his
whereabouts and has been fully
informed as to the welfare of her daughter;
that while under his care Kittie received every
comfort that could be bestowed by father
upon one Of his own children, having been
kindly treated, comfortably clothed, and given
all the advantages of education that the schools
of his neighbOrhood afforded. In corrobora-
ton of his statement Mr.. Gray presents the
certificates of Mrs. Belle Curtis and Miss Rosabel
Sanderson, the teachers under whom Kittie re-
ceiyed instruction, both of whom testify that
she was well clothed and well treated during her
attendance at their schools. Mr.. Gray protest
ed most emphatically against the imputation
that he stole the girl, or that he offered ally re-
sistance or made any threats when her brother
came to reclaim her. On the contrary he
states that he received the boy kindly and in
formed him that there would be no objection
to Kittie's accompanying him back to her
mother. He brings good witnesses to prove
the truth of this statement. Mr. Gray
pronounces the story of Kittie's brother as
false in all particulars, save the fact that the
child has been in his care for the past four
years. The disposition for romancing in the
boy is probably the cause of the sensational
story that has been permitted to get ahoat.

Thames course to-day, was won by Harvard in
IL minutes and 80 seconds. Columbia's time
II minutes and 81 seconds. The race was an
exceedingly pretty one and holly contested
throughout. Harvard won the toss and chose
the west side of the course. The crews were
started by Trimble, captain of the Harvard
University crew, at % minutes past II. Har-
ward took the water slightly in advance of Co
lumbia and both crews got away in good style
at thirty weight strokes to the min
ute. They swung along bow and bow
until the first half mile buoy was reached,
when Columbia forged half length ahead. This
lead was overcome by Harvard before the end
of the first mile. At the first mile buoy Har-
ward spurted to forty strokes, and got slight
lead, which was gradually increased toe length
and quarter at the finish. Columbia also
spurted at forty through q two-thirds of the
last mile, but she was well headed, and could
not recover lost ground. The comparative time
made by the winning crew was one minute and
four seconds better than was made by the Yale
last Thursday. The Columbia crew heartily
cheered the victors at the finish. The water
was in fine condition and the wind was favora-

Last night Gen. Mark D. Flower and Capt. Fl.
A. Castle rendered to the employees Of the Dis
patch parting testimonial of regard and kind
ly remembrance in the form of an excursion to
Lake Elmo. A special car chartered for the
occasion left the depot at five o'clock filled
with the Dispatch fraternity and their families.
The evening was enjoyed under the
inspiration of the music of the
Great Western band, that was
made effective by the delicate rays of the cleo
trio lights. Before darkness set in rowing on
the lake was INDUCED in, creating searching
appetites for the royal supper provided by the
worthy hosts. Promenading, dancing and So
cial intercourse filled up the hours. On return
home the following resolution was adopted on
the car, followed by huzzas by the crowd:
WHEREAS, We are reminded that Capt. Castle,
as editor in chief, and Gen. Flower as busi-
ness manager of the ST. Paul Dispatch, have
always treated their employees with the most
gentlemanly kindness and courtesy; and
WHEREAS, In their retirement from the Dis
patch, we are parting from those who always
Rtrove to maintain the utmost good feeling be-
tween employers and employed; therefore be it
Resolved That the employees, who have been
associated with the editor in chief and bust
ness manager of the St. Paul Dispatch COM
pany, now retiring from the paper, recognize,
at this time, the kindness which has been
shown during their business relations, and
hereby take pleasure in rendering them their
most hearty thanks for the past and present
hospitality received at their bands.
