DEAR SIRs-There being rumors current,
and which have reached the publicity of
print, that have used my official position
as Chairman Of the Finance Committee of
Council, to further my private interests as
an investor or Spectator in city of Savan-
nah bonds, and 1t being Of the greatest Inn
portance to me as an official aud as an indi-
vidual, that the truth should be known; and
believing that no one, whether opposed to
me in the present canvass or rot, would
willingly see me remain under an unjust and
unfounded imputation, or would willingly
have It 60 forth that SO important position
In the city government had been unworthily
used, l have requested the gentlemen
whose names are written below, aud of
whom you are one, to meet at my Office at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon, that may make
a full explanation of every transaction In
city bonds in which l have been engaged,

the city and myself. have, as nearly as !
could judge, selected an equal number OF
those who support and who oppose me, and
earnestly ask that all of you be present,
and that each shall freely aud fully investi-
gate the entire matter. do not think that
more than twenty minutes Of your time win
be required to enable you to grasp the en-
tire subject. Yours very truly,

SAvANNAH, GA, January Is, 1881.
Mr.. d. g. P"rse, City,
SIK-I am in receipt of your note, being
the second of this date, and, after mature
deliberations, / have come to the conclusion
that will no: be bulldczed by your AFRO
CANT demeanor, nor intimidated by your
overbearing threat; nor will | disclose the
author of the article, although fully author
lied by him to do 60; in fact, requested by
him to crafty your curiosity There is
nothing offensive intended or implied In the
article OF which you complain. You have
assumed the position of public candidate,
and are, therefore, fair mark for any shaft
which is not of an Illegal character. have
consulted competent counsel, and the result
OF my interview is to assure you that you
can proceed as soon as you please. | am
still In the dark as to what particular por-
ton of the article complained of you find so
obnoxious. presume it is In the remark
that IN helping the city financially you helped
yourself. II, instead of resorting to a
threat, you had been courteous enough to
request an explanation of what was meant
by these words, you would probably have
received one, both private and public,
which would have been amply satisfactory;
but, as you have chosen to resort to a
threat, and to assume the arrogant and
dictatorial position from which you sd-
dressed me, l decline all further CORE
spondence, and refer you to whatever legal
rights you may have in the premises. Per
haps the issue may prove that quiet Jour
nalist may have rights recognized by jury
of citizens, even when assailed by an aspir-
ing and domineering politician. Your
obedient servant, J. STERN.
In order, however, that the further circu-
lation of these innuendoes and unjust and
injurious insinuations should be stopped,

The transportation Question.
HERALD.

IHerald].
1t seems to be conceded that Eastern
freights are to cost more this season than in
any former year, either by rail or river. 1t is
a very disagreeable fact to face, and one that
ought to challenge earnest general consider
alton and prompt some decisive action. It
may be true that we will get our freights as
cheap as Salt Lake City, but that is not the
standard by which our people are accustom-
ed or are willing to judge of their accommo
dations. We judge by the rates We have
paid in former years, and think it very
strange that now, when the river is still as
open to us as ever, with the prospect of q
better stage of water than usual and q chan
mel rendered much safer by reason of i'm
provements made by government in recent
years, that we should be compelled to pay
rates higher than prevailed six or ten years
ago. Something is wrong somewhere and
needs to be set right. The people of Monta-
ma are not in a condition to pay higher pri-
ces for their goods. They have suffered
heavy losses during the past winter, and
rates of wages and incomes generally are
reduced. Our merchants will have to con-
tent themselves with smaller profits and
make it up by increased sales, or customers
will have to reduce their consumption or use
inferior articles, neither of which they ought
to be forced TODD, nor will they be content to
do so, knowing that there can be no good
reason therefor.

Chinese Treaty.

The newly constituted Committee on For
eign Relations held their first meeting March
q, and promptly acted upon the Chinese
Treaties by agreeing to report them back to
the Senate, with a recommendation for ratif-
cation without amendment. The treaties
were accordingly reported to the Senate and
placed upon its calendar for consideration in
due course hereafter. It was universally
conceded that these important treaties, which
had already been examined by former com
mittees, must be disposed Of during the pres
ent session, and it being equally evident that
any discussion which might arise in this
committee concerning them would have to be
gone over again il the Senate, the favorable
report was ordered by common consent, slm-
ply as the readiest means for expediting final
action. There is no special reason to antici-
pate that there will be any considerable oppo-
siti0n to the ratification Of the treaties in
their present terms, and. on the other hand
there is strong reason to believe, in spite of
all criticism or opposition now considered
possible, they will both be ratified by the
requisite tWo-thirds majority without amend
ment,

David Davis Goes to the Republicans.

H8V10 DAVIS G6es TO the Republicans.
CHICAGO, March 2.-Both the Republicans
and Democrats were treated to a, surprise by
David Davis to-day. As soon as the Senate
met the resolution FOR the election Of officers
came up. and, after Pendleton had specially
appealed to the Democrats not to press the
resolution at this session, and been refused.
Davis took the floor, and in a short speech
attempted to justify his vote or the reorgani-
zatlon Of the committees, and then said he
was clearly Of the opinion that, as the major
lty IN the Senate had reorganized the COM
mlttees, they should also have control of the
State officers, and he would not interpose
any vote against their speedily accomplish
Ing that result. This speech creates q pro-
found sensation on the Democratic side.
while the Republicans show unmistakable
satisfaction. The Democrats then began fl
lIbustering, and offered resolution after reso-
luton to adjourn Or 60 into executive session.
There was one majority against all these mo
tons, Malone and Davis voting with the Re
publieans.

"Bfg-Nosed'' George Aetempt pts to ESCAPE
From Ja1l and is Lymclaeu.

CHEYENNE, Wyo, March 22.-George Par
rott, alias s'Big Nose George, one of the
Elk Mountain murderers and an Infamous
road agent" who is under sentence to be
hanged on April I'd, attempted to break jeil
this evening at Rawlins. He got his shackles
off, with which he attacked the jailer when
ne entered the corridor to lock the prisoners
III their cells for the night. The j~ailer's wife
nearing the conflict, had the presence of mind
TO lock the outside door, locking the taller in
with the prisoners. An alarm was then raised
and a large number of citizens fastened to
the JILL and released the jailer and secured
the prisoner. He will be doubly ironed and
strictly guarded until the day of his execu-
ton. This action of George is surprising,
since he has always manifested 9 contrite
spirit and did not desire q trial, pleading
guilty TO the indictment and desiring to he
hanged soon. When sentence of death was
passed on him, he Wept like q child and broke
down completely. He also said his health
was failing in consequence. These facts
gained him much sympathy, but now threats
of lynching are made, and all desire now to
see him suffer death.
A special to the Cheyenne Leader from
KaWllns, Wyoming, states that ''Big-Nosed ,
George was taken out of Jail by q party Of
masked men at 1906 tonight and taken to a
telegraph pole opposite the railroad machine
shops, where a rope was thrown over a cross
arm of the pole and 'Big-Nosed' George was
made to climb up a ladder, when the rope
was placed around his neck and the ladder
pulled out from under him, letting him swing
between heaven and earth. His last words
were: Il will jump off, boys, and break my

and the fear of hydrophobia passed away. A
few days ago Mr.. Karcofe was seized with
commissions at the sight of water, and the
truth flashed upon his friends that he was
suffering from hydrophobia. He suffered
horribly, and had lucid intervals at times. He
died in great agony, foaming at the mouth
and barking like q dog. In ms contortious
it took several men to hold him.

OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

Specializing in advance OF the meeting
which is to be held to-day, and without
attempting to anticipate its action, We
think there Is but little risk in the pre-
dietion that the extension OF the Z. W.
& Ky. road down the river will De
made.
We base this prediction upon the gen.
eral hypothe e., first, that Il ROAD VIII
paw if built, and that fact will demons
trate itself to practical business men;
and second, that the necessities and adj
vantaees OF the line are sufficiently
strong 10 enlist both the local sentiment
and activity, as well as the necessary
capitsl from abroad, to push the project
10 a successful conclusion. Any enter
prise which offers the same inducemen s
as a business investment, which this
does, can command the necessary capt.
tai, if there's enough local interest to
recommend il.
There is bound to be North and
South line of railroad through the State
in the near future. The interior OF the
State is struggling hard for 1t. II would
do more for the development OF the eu'
tire State than a line along the river.
But there is plenty OF room for two
lines. The building Of the river line
NAV delay the building OF tue line
through the interior, but it will not
meet the necessities OF the State. The
building o; either would simply
curtail the benefits which the
other would derive from its tel
minal connections with the great roads
on the northern and southern borders
OF the State; but unless there should be
a number OF short east and west lines
connecting with the river, the interior
o. the Stats would derive but little al
vanta &c IRON the river line. There will
be tive lines u! road some day. The
first bu It will be able to secure the chief
advantages from the terminal connec'
tons; but neither will 10 away with
the necessity for the other, and the
building Of one will only inspire an in
creased d, sir, Tor the other. We shall
be disappointed ii We DO not See at least
one OF these proposed lines in operation
within the mex: two years, and we would
Ike to see both OF them.

THE srATEFAIR.

We presume that the work OF set
Ting tue preliminaries for holding a
State lair dnring the coming fall, is pro
IT assiny
There is a vas. amount OF work con-
nected with the organization OF such an
enterprise. and II the projectors are fiat.
tering themselves with the idea that
there is plenty OF time, they may fad
it brief enough when the work is map
ped out.
In aitition to preparing the grounds,
erecting the buildings, AMI having a
good, solid track really for use, there is
the important and tedious work OF . =
angling cI.A'osle Of premiums, upon
which the success OF the Fair largely
depends. This ought to be circulated in
good time to allow exhibitors an op9Or-
tunity Of preparing their stock and ar
t.cles iOr competition.
The profit which tine City OF Wheel
ing vii, derive from the establishment
OF a STATE Fair at this point has not
been exaggerated, and seems TO lack
general appreciation. There was diff
Guilty in obtaining the stock. There
was and is an Indifference toward it by
a number o; leading ctz Very few
leading men have bus:e themselves
about it. Yet, few years ago, il was
thought to be profitable undertaking
for the City to invest 100000 il State
building AMI donate the use OF it 20 the
State, in order to have the benefit OF the
little PATRONAGE AMI position which
would accrue to the city by becoming
the Capital. The whole city seemed
really to take stock ia that enterprise
AMI, in tact, the whole city did do SO.
In a business point OF view, the rs
adjustment OF a successful State Fair at
this city will be OF greater advantage
than the location OF the Capital here.
Ii will bring more people, more bust
ness, and DO more 10 advertise the buSl-
ness interests OF the city in one year
than the Capital has done in five years.
The city has taken no stock in the Fair,
and it is no: necessary or proper that
il should, but il would be a better
investment for the city at large, than
the investment in the Capitol has been.
There ought to be enough interest in
it to stimulate the best efforts
and the most liberal aid OF the entire
community. Ii the business men OF
Wheeling expect 10 prosper, they must
look 10 the general rs well Us their indi-
vidual interest. When public spiri;
dies out OF a community it is in good
condition 10 be fenced in.

SENATOR CAMDEN EXPLAINS

We are giad 10 notice in the proceed
ings Of the Senate, yesterday, that Sent-
tor CAMDEN has taken occasion to set
West Virginia righ; before the country
ON the question OF her relation to the
debt OF the old State.
The meager reports sent by telegraph
are not sufficient from which to obtain
an idea OF the scope Of his speech, bnt
when the Record reaches us We will
take occasion to lay it before our readers
He has, at least, stamped the so called
"West Virginia certificates" with their
proper clarscter-simp!y as evidences
OF the arbitrary e. pat and cheeky
assumption OF the Oh Dominion as to
what part of her debt We must pa@, "cis"s

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-04-12

The IaillIigIscsT yesterday devoted
nearly two columns to prove that Sena-
tor DAVIS was untruthiul in his remark
in reply to SHERMAN, that "the Demo-
cratic party Of West Virginia is probably
the only party that has moved straight
to this question" OF settling with old
Virginia upon our share OF the debt; and
if the h,!siiig,Rcer had designed to prove
that senator DAVIS remark was entirely
accurate, it could not have made more
conclusive argument up to the point
where 1t stops in the history of the mat.
