MAJOR T. B. Edgington, of this
.y, went to Nashville some days
ace on his own motion and account
the interest of the public schools,
d as we happen to know without
y other object in view. When it
came probable that none of the
lding democratic candidates could
mmand the united support of the
.rty, the name of Major Edgington
me up as a democrat Of ability, and
decided, but conservative views,
,on whom all might unite. But he
omptly sets himself right by request
2 that his name be not used
nile there is any possibility
electiug the present dis
nguished candidates Of the
.rty, and further very properly sug-
sts that the views of individuals on
e state debt question should not
ter into this election. This view,
} are glad to know, has been accepted
J a number of those known as low
K democrats, who are voting for
en-. Bate, who does not belong to
at wing Of the party. If the two
ings should fail to agree upon those
w in nomination they could make a
rtunate solution Of the difficulty by
liting upon the able but unassuming
,ntleman named above.

Terrible Death of a Physician

Rudolph SChariach, a prominent ply
sician and druggist of Mexico, NO.,
and his son Herman, we're walking on
the Chicago and Alton railroad going
to their home, yesterday afternoon,
they were run over by a

killed. Their bodies were horribly
mangled. No blame seems to attach
to the road, as the engineer was ring
ing his bell at the time of the accident
and could not see any on the track

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1881-06-15
Mr.. Davis and Gen. Joe Johnston.

Those who have read the copious ex-
tracts from Mr.. Davis book have no
doubt noted that whenever he has oc-
casion to refer to Gen. Johnston he
makes him the object of severe criticism.
The people of the Confederate States,
that exists now only in history, will
thank Mr. Davis for his able vindication
of their motives, and fearless defense of
their cause and principles. But few, If
any, will coincide with him in his views
as to Gen. Johnston's capitulation to
Gen. Sherman at the time he surrendered.
1t is generally accepted as the truth that
when Gen. Lee found his little Spartan
band surrounded by vastly superior
force, and was compelled to surrender,
as he expressed it, to avoid the further
sacrifice of those who had endeared
themselves to their countrymen. the col
lapse of the Confederacy had come.
Further resistance on The part of Gen.
Johnston would have been futile, and
could have been prolonged only by
guerrilla warfare, which would have en-
tailed incalculable misery upon the peo-
pie, especially the non-combatant popu
lation, and all the direst evils that war
carries in its horrid train.
There may be differences of opinion
as to Gen. Johnston's campaign in Geor-
gia, but Mr.. Davis, who has borne un-
deserved obloquy, and has been made
the vicarious representative of whole
people in the Imprisonment and indigni-
ties he suffered. for opinions entertained
in common with his people, will fail in
converting the public to the opinion he
expresses against the surrender of Gen.
Johnston.

NEW HAMPSHIRES SENATOR
SHIP.
To Elect or Not to Elect 4-PrOspeet
Ofa Lively Debate.

CONCORD N. Fl. June 14.-In the Republi-
can caucus, held last night for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for United States
Senator, Mr.. Green's resolution, to pro-
ceed to the election Of Senator to-day,
caused much discussion of an animated
character, several members participating
Mr.. Green, declining to withdraw his
resolution, Messrs. Stevens, Hartman,
Marston and Chandler refused to
vote for or against It. The
latter declared its author took the response
bilitY of dividing the party into factions on
question of law and not of party. The
resolution was passed without dissent, the
anti-election members refraining from
voting. Il was finally resolved to meet this
morning at O'Clock to nominate can
didate for Senator. The proceedings
OF the caucus made decided sensa-
ton in political circles, and the probable
action Of the House to-day was the theme
of excited discussion. At the caucus to
be held this morning Mr.. Rollins will prob
ably be nominated, and a consultation of
bolters or non election men will be held,
and their course will be determined upon.
In joint convention, before the increase
caused by the recent admission of members
the non-electionists required thirty-seven
votes to unite with the Democrats and de-
feat an election, but now about forty votes
are needed for that purpose. There is
promise of highly exciting session to. day.
The Republicans met in caucus this morn
ing. Mr.. Robinson, of Concord, moved
that when an adjournment is made it be to
meet directly after the morning session of
the Legislature. He explained that upon
consultation with his friends it was thought
best not to make the nomination of Sena-
tor before the main question, whether the
election should take place or not, is decided
by the Legislature. Mr.. Green also sup
ported this view. 1t was stated by mem
Der that if no nomination was made this
morning, and the Legislature decided to
elect, the disaffected members will abide by
that action and go into caucus to make
nomination.
In the House, the majority report Of the
Judiciary Committee relating to the cleo
tion of United States Senator came up,
the question being on the passage OF the
resolution that the election be postponed
until the meeting of the next Legislature.
The forenoon was occupied in the discus
sion of the question, no vote being reached
at the hour OF adjournment.
The Senate, by vote of IA to 10, decided
to elect a Senator. The vote for United
States Senator was taken in the Senate at
noon to-day, with the following result:
f. H. Rollins. ......... Z Harry Bingham .

LONDON, June 14.-In the House of Com
mons last night Mr.. Forster, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, took occasion, on the allega-
tion of an Irish member that be (Mr.
Forster) had expressed regret that the
troops and police had not fired on the
people, to read the instructions issued
during the New Pallas riots, the salient
point of which was that the resident magis-
trate should give due warning to the crowd
tc disperse, and use his best discretion to
a bid giving orders to fire unless he was
saA lsfied that other less extreme measures
would not suffice, but that he must bear
In mind that the legal process, which form
ed the object OF the expedition, must be
carried out. Mr.. Forster said the law could
not be defeated, and that in extreme cases
1t must be left to the discretion of the mag
istrate to give the necessary instructions.
The Secretary intimated that the govern
ment would continue to carry out It's duties
In the spirit of the above instructions.
An official return gives one hundred and
ten as the number Of persons detained uu-
der the coercion act up to the Och of the
present month.
The government has undertaken the
prosecution of McKevitt and McGrath for
Hall. 1t is said McKevitt is willing to turn
Queens evidence. Important disclosures
are expected from both the prisoners.
The House of Commons went into COM
mittee on the land bill. The government
consented to some verbal modification. One
or two amendments were negatived. Mr..
Gladstone agreed to an amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Charles Russell, Liberal, in
accordance with which section 5, clause l,
will read that "a landlord NAV
refuse to admit purchaser as a
tenant on reasonable grounds As a
recital of the grounds on which the landlord
is entitled to object to tenant contained in
the original bill had caused much i'll feeling
In Ireland, amendments filing a whole page
of note paper had been aimed against it.
The consequence of Mr.. GladstObe's de-
cision is that all these fall through. Equally
rapid progress has been made with some
other amendments.
In the House of Commons tonight Mr..
Nolan, Liberal and Home Rule member for
Galway. moved for leave to introduce bill
to suspend evictions in Ireland for limited
period on payment of six months rent.
Mr. Gladstone stated that the government
had not considered the course they should
adopt in regard to such a bill. but the
House would probably accord Mr.. Nolan the
usual privilege of introducing a measure.
Leave to introduce the bill was then given.
The warrant under which the Catholic
priest Sheehy. was arrested at Kilwallock,
county Cork, about three weeks ago,
charges him with being reasonably sus-
pected OF being guilty as a principal in the
crime OF assembling with others, and un-
lawfully attempting by threats to compel
persons to quit their employment.
