The weakest thing we have yet beard
of Gov. Conlquitt was that he intended
to appoint Ben Hills son as successor to
his father in the U. S. Senate. Young
Mr.. Hill had the good sense to decline
the appointment, IN the ground that the
office is beyond his aspirations, and he
might have added that, as the Legisla-
tufe which meets in November. will
elect his ather's successor, his own ap-
pointment would be a useless farce be-
cause he would never have a chance To
take the scat Charlotte Journal.
There ought to be a general turning
out OF old postmastcrs and route agents

The Winston Republican says; ''On
account of the smallness of the crowd, it
was decided that only Collector Young
should speak at the hour appointed, and
that Col. Dockerv would wait until
night Collector Young therefore led
of. He is a capital talker, tells an anec.
dote almost equal to Ze5. Vance, and
never fails to please. By an unfortunate
a~llusion to DIR. Cook towards the close
of his speech, who was present, he enti-
tied that gentleman to be heard, and
who did, after Collector Young closed,
come forward and supplement his speech
of Saturday by an hours talk. in which
he went for Collector Young and the
Revenue, with gloves off. He was repli-
ed to by Collector Young in a good ma
tured speech, the whole affair being
highly enjoyed by the democrats. but
which, unfortunately, did the Republi-
can party no good.
Gen. j. c. German, who has been
travelling as a correspondent with Col.
Dock cry, reports the mountains full of
Liberals, and the Republicans hopeful.
Collector Young's estimate was that the
State ticket would beat the Democrats
by fifty thousand"

THE EGYPTIANS WHIPPED.-Genera
Garnet Wolseley has added another gar
net to his diadem of fame, by smashing
the Arab-Bey-an army at a blow. On
leaving London he remarked that he ex-
pected to fight Arab midway between
the cana.and Cairo, and to end the war by
the 18th Of Sept. Everybody regarded the
prediction as absurd /; but as it turns out
he whipped the Egyptians on the 18th,
routed them next day, and received the
surrender of the whole nation at Cairo on
the 18th a singularly fortunate fulfill
ment of his promise.
The decisive blow was struck at Tel-el-
kebr where Arab had collected %, 600 sol
diers, and Is, 200 rabble, to oppose tie
British advance from Ismalia. When
the latter reached Kassassin, Arab sent
a weak column to attack them and sue
ceeded in surprising them, and might
have wiped them u Of existence if he
had been anything of a general. As it
turned out, the English repulsed the att
tack; and began at once to prepare for a
counter-surprise. 1t was made on Tues
day morning before day break. lo, 900
British suddenly fell upon the Egyptian
camp; while 600 cavalry turned the
flank. the battle was over in 20 minutes.
Next day the British entered Cairo, amid
cheers from the cowardly Egyptians.
Arab and his Generals were arrested. and
put in Jail. The whole National Army
surrendered next day, and was disbanded;
the soldiers being made to take off their
uniforms.

circular:
Ia answer to many inquiries from all parts of
the State, the announcement is made that, after
much effort, the same extremely low excursion
rates to Gettysburg, as were had upon the occa-
sion OF the Encampment there last year, have
been secured for comrades and their families for
the Encampment in july, being about one-thiTd
the usual rates. if secured in the Same manner
as last year.
Arrangements have also been made to secure
an ample supply of canvas, and everything
promises an exceedingly interesting and enjoy
road rates from each station, and other particu-
lars will be announced as soon as the exact
time Of the Encampment shall have been de-
ternincd upon.

The Gra.4d Army of that city, with the gen,
erous and enthusiastic cooperation Of the au.
thorities and the citizens generally, are pre-.
pairing for magnificent reception OF the visit.

be the largest aud most interesting we have had
at any of our National Encampments.

THE BALTIMORE POSTMASTER;

The Baltimore san publishes the following
complimentary notice of Col. Harrison Adreon,
the efficient postmaster of that city and a prom
inent member of the Grand Army:
The administration of public Offices on busi-
ness principles is. a matter of the highest I'M
portance to the communities which they serve
and when they are conducted in such a manner
he public is generally well satisfied. There is
carcely any local agency of the Government
those efficient administration more nearly
ouches the general convenience and the business
interests Of a community than its pOse-oiice, and
without reference to personal criticisms it can
be safely said that the present administration
OF the post-ofiice in Baltimore is on business
grounds fair subject of communication. In
addition to his evident desire to meet and
crafty the public wishes, Postmaster Adreon
has introduced new methods of service and
suggested other improvements in the direction
OF perfecting the workings of his department,
which indicate excellent administrative ability,
and his merit in this regard is fully recognized.
That the community is satisfied with the efh-
cheney OF the post-otfice under his management
seems to be generally conceded, and if he will
continue to serve it as acceptably as at present,
2 change of sentiment On the subject is not
likely 10 occur.

THE CALIFORNIA VETERANS HOME.

From the San Jose (Cal) Times.
Starting from purpose constitute home for
Mexican Veterans in San Francisco, the Vet
erans Home movement has gradually assumed
proportions which indicate that it will result
in one Of the most extensive establishments of
the kind in the United States. Articles of in
corporation have been filed with the Secretary
of State and the work of locating and estab-
lishing the Home will be proceeded with with
cut delay. The following are the members and
incorporators of the association, who are to
serve for life: W. S. Rosecrans, James Coey, s.

Il. +. Hammond, T. W. freedom, William
Banding, J. G. Hays, of San Francisco, and
S. 0. Houghton, of San J0se-the latter five
being veterans of the Mexican war. Among
the above managers of the association are two
prominent generals of the Union army Gen
erals ROsccrans and Stoncman), one Of whom
is now a member of Congress and the other
Railroad Commissioner of California. There
are many other gallant soldiers embraced in
the list, among them General James Ceey,
postmaster of San Francisco, who was colonel
during the war. The Mexican Veterans are
represented. Major Hammond is superin-
| tendcnt of the Southern Pacific Railroad, Hon.
! S. O. Houghton, of San Jose, is an cx-memh"r

+ for the establishment OF the Veterans nou,o
( as any county in the State, only exceeded in
! this respect by San Francisco. AS several hun
dred acres of land will be required for the
Home, San Francisco for once will give way
to the claims of the interior, and if proper
exertions are made there is 10 reason why the
! Homo should not be established in this valley,
at point which would naturally draw its sup
plies from san Jose and be a considerable help
to the trade OF the city.

rervTnr7ou To gIlRr POST, C,A.R.

PRES SGNTATION To BURT POST, G, A. r,
Thomas u. Burt Post, No. III, Of Kinder
hook, " Z, met few evenings since IN their
new hall and the ceremonies were unusually
Interesting The principal feature was the
nresentation by p P. c. Gen. NJ. II. ChTysler,
in behalf OF Hon Stephen II. Wendover, of a
number Of elegant spears sufficient to arm the
command. These spears are ten inches long
of solid brass, the globe above the socket beau
tifllly etched, with the letters G. A. +. embla-
zoned on either side The blade is cOncaved
on the four planes, presenting an appearance OF
old Etruscan work. The mounting is halt
six feet long, of excellent, strong, white ash,
polished to represent ebony.
The Hinderho0E Rough Notes says:
The General presented the beautiful gift
with his usual happy effect touching the non
partisan combination of the Post, referring to
the absence of political design in the generous
donor, whose wish had been solely to benefit
the camp and assist in the accumulation OF at
fractions for the organization. Gen. Chrysier
alluded to the liberal spirit which prompted
/ the donation, and the Senator's appreciation OF
| the aclnowle edged worth of the veterans OF the
civil war, recognizing the G.. a. K. as an asso-
citation formed for mutual pleasure, honorable
protection, the agreeable interchange Of army
"reminiscences, and the collection of relics and
! records to hand down to future generations, the
posterty of the soldier of the rebellion, the Sons
! of Veterans who in days to come will smoke
! the pipe of peace about the camp-tires estab-
! lishcd in the might and strength of those gone
! before and marching in the New Jerusalem.
Comrade Atwood received the presentation
| for the Post in a speech equally happy and cor
respondngly effective, pointing in novel pic
/ lures of harmonious colors the pleasure of the
recipients touching on the welfare of the camp
and its mutual interests, the principal motives
being charity and loyalty, and the material
object, honor to whom honor is due" To the
| soldier belongs the credit and the glory of the
/ firm foundation of governmental structure
that shall endure to the end of time.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The report Of the work on the Washington
Monument since December l, 1881, has been
published. IL shows that the result of the
operations has been the construction of the
shaft to the height OF go feet above the lowest
iont of the marble facing. The height added
during the season was ~ feet, and involved
the cutting and setting of 1,1Sl blocks of
granite, containing 4i,3i9 cubic feet. The
total height added to the structure since Au-
gust Z. 1850 when the building was COM
menccd, is 100 feet. The experiences of the
past two working seasons, the report says, show
that the rapidity with which the shaft can be
constructed is dependent upon the rapidity
with which the materials used in the structure
can be supplied by the contractors, and espe-
ciallv is this true for the marble.
