THE following from the Macon,
Ga, Telegraph and Messenger will
show how the six O'clock closing
movement il regarded in that state;
Throughout the state the press are
noticing the fact in various cities
closing their stores at six O'Clock in
the afternoon, thus giving eelFks
that recreation so much needed, by
every one. Now, why should not
Macon merchants Follow the exam
pie persued in neighbofing cities.
and close stores at Cookbook. There
is no set of clerks more jealous
in their employees services, more
laborous and faithful in every res
pect than the clerks of Macon estab-
Iishment. Then why not afford
them this privilege. Scarcely any
business is done after 6 O'Clock, aud
hence, no loss would be incurred.
The holiday thus given them can be
passed in social cOnfab with friends,
boating on the river, strOwling in
the park or over the hills, buggy
driving or gymnasium exercise, thus
building up the form for the winter
Iabors. We hope our merchants will
consider the matter favOrably.

CAMERON.
Suddenly little cheer goes up,
and Don Cameron comes forward to
the desk of the presiding officer and
raps two or three little raps, and ST.
lence falls upon the vast throng of
people instantaneously; you could
hear a pin drop, the hush is so abso-
Lutte. Mr.. Cameron is not an inn
posing man-undersized at least so
he appeared behind the desk-dark-
skinned, with dark eyes and dark
mustache. He has none Of the airs
of a senator. He might be a mer-
chant, or IA bank president, or the
actuary of an insurance company,
or a country lawyer in good prac-
tice, but not a statesman, according
to the common type of statesmen
The three little raps with the gavel
betray Mr.. Cameron's nervousness.
They lack the clang of resolution.
Indeed, as the chairman of the ma
tional committee stands moment
regarding the vast audience he has
stilled so easily, there is an air of
hesitation, almost of timidity, about
the man., And all this is in striking
contrast with his lion-like bravery
of two days ago in the national COM
mittee room, where he proclaimed
himself dictator of his colleagues
and refused to put the question that
did not suit him, and refused to en-
tertain appeals from his autocratic
decisions. But the break in the
Pennsylvania delegation was not
then a matter of history. Import
ant events have occurred in the last
few daysf and these events have left
their mark upon the member of the
syndicate from the Keystone state.
He looks worn and haggard as he
turns with a listless air to the cler-
gyman by his side and asks him TO
open the republican convention with
prayer.

THE Washington Gazette has a
sketch and portrait of Hon. RObt.
Taylor, democratic congressman
from the first Tennessee district.
OF his services in the house the Ca
zettee says: $40 .ii sgU q
The record made for himself I'm
congress by our subject has been a
fiattering and cOmmendable one,
He has displayed a Judgment far
in advance of his years, and by his
liberality of opinions ON important
questions, and his breadth Of views
in the affairs of the country, has
shown himself to be no unworthy
representative Of his constituents in
the national councils. hsalT
Several measures of importance
have been perfected and introduced
by Mr.. Taylor since he has occu-
pied his present seat. AS a mem.
ber of the committee on pensions he
has been especially active ia his ef-
forts in behalf of soldiers. Among
the bills introduced by him were
one "to pension the soldiers of the
Mexican war;" and another "for
the relief of honOrably discharged
soldiers" He has also introduced
bills to tax incomes and to remove
the tax on tobacco in the hands Of
the producer. His constituents, the
m0untaineers OF the first district OF
Tennessee, will long remember that
it has been largely due to his inhu-
ence that the prosecutions suffered
by many of the inhabitants Of East
Tennessee at the hands of the inter-
nal revenue officers have at last
ceased. He used his influence with
the Tennessee delegation TO in
duce them to unite and intercede
with the commissioner in behalf
of these people who had been
tracked and hunted for real or al
legged violations of the revenue
laws for months. He was success
full, and the desired and mercifnl re-
lief was obtained.

THE Green Hargis case Is decided.
The agony Is over. The Jury, after
an absence of"33" minutes, brought
In a verdict exOnerating Judge Har-
gis fally and fairly. and the pubhc
will accept the result as conclusive
on this much-Vexed question. The
trial has been a prolonged one.
1t commenced the 3rd OF February
and ii ended the 4th of June. lt
will be long remembered by the pub
lie. 1t will never be forgOttn by the
actors in the drama. The Jury are
entitled to the greatest credit for
patience, their attention and their
conscientious purpose. The Judge
has presided with singular iInpatial-
ity. Cool, collected, fair minded
and capable, he has gained new
laurels to deck an aged brow. The
lawyers have won much distinction
ON both sides. Several Of the speech

By MAh3AAEr j. PAk5TONs
Too tired-too worn to pray,
i can but fold my hands,
Entreating In a voiceless way,
OF Him who understands
How flesh and heart suceum-
How viii sinks, weary-weak,
"Dear Lord, my languid lips are dumb,
See what cannot speak"
Just as the wearied child,
Through sobbing pain opprest,
Drops hushing all Its wailings wild,
Upon its mothers breast
So on thy bosom /
Would east nay speechless prayer,
Nor doubt that thou wilt let me lie
And though no conscious thought
Before me rises clear
The prayer, OF wordless language wrought,
Thou yet will deign to hear.
For when, at best, / plead
What so my spirit saith
l only am the bruised reed,
And thou the breathing breath.

mortal of the tobacco trade 10 do

It viii be observed from our tel
-egraphic reports Of the proceedings
OF congress yesterday, that the joint
resolution introduced some time
since In the lower house by the Hon,
John +. House, requesting the pres
ident to open negotiations with
France, Spain, Austria and Italy,
looking to the abolition of the Reggie
mOnopOlies, and which passed iR
that house, has now passed In the
senate, and only awaits the sigma
ture OF the president 10 become q
law. As there IL no politics con-
nected with the movement, and
both northern and southern states
are interested, there can be no doubt
that the president win sign it. This
movement originated in the Nash
Vile tobacco board, and they have
never lost sight of il, but have
pressed ii with an energy and zeal
which merited success. We trust
that the advantage already gained
will not be lost by supineness or in
difference on the part of the presi-
dent, but that he win press the mat
ter upon the attention Of those coun-
tries with the same zeal and energy
with which it has been brought 10
and pressed upon the attention OF
congress, and this staple inay be re-
lieved OF this great curse by which
it has been 50 long hampered.

Gen. Logan, and Chandler OF New

side present a striking contrast. The
one is a picture of great physical
force, the other OF no physical
strength worth mentioning. The
swarthy senator might well be mis-
taken for an Egyptian from Alex

an American Indian, with long,
straight black hair, and an immense
blue-black mustache, hiding his
mouth and meeting under his chin.

CONKLING


The entrance OF the New York
wlite-hatted delegation, headed by
Senator Conkling, was the first event
of the day. The vain, proud and
handsome chief of the New York
machine inclined his head haughtily
but gracefully in response to the
applause by which he was greeted.
The delegates-(some of them, not
alb his henchmen--folIowed him
(some of them, not all) with an un-
mistakably obsequious air. "What
seat will it please you to have, Mr..
Conkling?n inquired Mr.. Arthur,
the handsome ex-collector of the
port of New York. 'To whom will
the honor of sitting next to you be
accorded ?" it may be presumed
some one said to the New York sem
ator. "Not Mr.. Woodin, the en-
gineer of the wrecked machine" he
may have replied, "nor Mr.. Robert
son, nor Mr.. Sessions, nor any one
of the twenty-five recalcitrants."
The seat obsequiously rendered
Mr.. Conkling he did not deign to
take for some time. He remained
standing, his tall figure rendering
him conspicuous figure to which
MANY eyes were directed. But the
cheers with which his entrance was
greeted were neither hearty nor pro.
longed. Nor were they renewed at
all, Notwithstanding it was evident
that renewal of applause would
have been grateful to thesomewhat
lacerated feelings of the ex-dictator
of the empire state. He turned this
way and that, peering up into the
galleries and the platform and the
press-stand.
A handsome man is Mr.. Conk-
ling; handsome is the exact word !;
tall and straight; a high forehead,
made higher by the falling away of
the light sandy, curly hair; a full
beard, nearly white, just long
enough to admit of being trimmed
and dressed into the rather foppish
Venetian point-such beard as the
DOges Wore-the beard of the man
who values the high opinion OF both
man and woman who are not intel
lectually aboveadmiring mere phys
ical beauty; a small nose, pinched
at the end, with the least suspicion
of an appearance as if designed by
nature to "turn up;" cold gray-blue,
selfish eyes. This is Mr.. Conkling.
He looks anxious and care-worn, as
if conscious of having reached cri-
sis in his political fortunes. There
is an expression on his handsome
face as of a man who constantly de-
tects himself in the act of looking
back instead of forward-that re-
fiective mood which robs action of
its fire, and cheats the man of the
world of success. The careful, keen
observer cannot divests himself of
the impression that the Sprague
affair turks in his memory, and that
inglorious episode is a constant
thorn in his flesh. ve

CHANDLER.

BY the side of Logan, but not re-
garding him or being regarded by
him, stands Chandler. He is a
slight boyish figure, in no particular
noticeable except for an apparent
insignifcance. He has thin gray
hair, thin gray beard, a thin fiat
chest, thin legs, and thin arms. His
head is small, his eyes are small,
and his nose is small. No woman
would ever fall in love with him at
first sight. But Mr.. Chandler has a
keen, bright intellect, and he never
tires. He has had many bouts in
politics and foiled many an adYef-
sary. He doesn't possess an atom
of vanity either about his person or
his mind. He doesn't desire ap-
pIause. He doesn't care to read his
name in the newspapers. He always
has purpose and drives straight
forward towards its accomplish
ment. No obstacles daunt him no
difficulties are sufficient to aWerVe
him from the purpose he has marked
out. He has just foiled Don Came
ron. But there is not the faintest
trace of pride Of victory in his face.
A microscopic examination would
probably fail to detect in any feature
Of his eoqnteuanee any aign of his
victory over the triumvirate in the
first round of the great political bat
tie now in progress. His face is as
impassive as that of a marble statue.
His oId-fashioned spectacles hide
the expression of his pale blue eyes,
if they have any expression, and his
limp figure and unObtrusive pres
ence protect him from the common
observation.
HALE.

large round head, set very close

and physical. He looks perfectly
