Dir. Stephens and the Georgia Democ-


The confusion in the Democratic ranks
of Georgia over the question of nominal
ing Alexander ii. Stephens for governor
is daily increasing. The leaders are called
upon to choose between the two formi-
dable dangers of Mr. Stephcnss candi-
ducy as a Democratic nominee and as an
Independent. To nominate him is to
invite the detection and inartion of his
lifelong enemies, who remember him rs
Wing up to 1852, Union man in 1861,
defender of Grants reconstruction pol
icy in Louisiana as late as 1875, and the
familiar friend and companion of Emory
Speer and other Independents in 1882
If the Democratic convention shall be
moved by these considerations to refuse
him the nomination, which he declares
is the only one he will accept, they give
an opportunity for one of those grand
political tempests for which the clouds
in the Southern political sky are just now
powerfully charged. The old Wings and
Unionists, the Independent Democrats,
the Norwood men who chafe at seeing
Colquitt in the executive chair and Joe
Brown in the Senate as the products
of negro supremacy, the white Repub-
licans who have no hope for present
party success, and the negroes who
will furnish two-thirds of enough votes
to defeat any Bourbon candidate, if the
other one-third will boldly lead-all
these influences might decide to elect
Mr.. Stephens to the chief magistracy
without his formal assent. Mr. stephens
has strong patriotic instincts. He has a
hope that he can make the Democratic
party like himself He is engaged in
hopeless task. Whenever the Demo-
cratic party Of Georgia can be animated
by ideas such as he would impress upon
It, it will dissolve for its members will
then refuse to cooperate with the crys-
pidity, and the disgraceful lawless-
ness of what calls itself Democracy
in the other Southern States. If Mr..
Stephens is nominated by the De-
mocracy Of Georgia he will fare as Mr.
Greeley did in the Nation in 1872. He
will be defeated by the apathy in his own
party. If he is defeated in the Demo-
cratic convention he may say TO his
enemies, "most dangerously have you
prevailed" We regard him as the most
important factor in Georgia politics to-
day. 1t would be hard to say now
whether the Bourbon Democracy would
be in greater danger from him as their
own candidate or as that Of the Opposi-
tion.

To the Editor OF THE HEPu BLICAN!
New York city has eight FREQ swimming baths
used by millions Of men and boys and women and
girls every summer, and other great cities have ono
ormore, showing the very great Importance ofthese
public baths. For several years have spent much
time in trying to have one public bath established
in this city, and several months ago submitted 10
the Senate District Committee an amendment to
some District bill making an appropriation to con-
struc one free BATH but 1t was deemed of too little
Importance, and nothing was done. Again the
hot weather is upon us, to continue four months,
with no free bath, and as bathing Is so necessary
to cleanliness, comfort and health and to learn 10
swim Is so very important to prevent drowning by
accidents on the water therefore suggest that
arrangements be made by the District Commis-
soners or the Health ONCE with the owners OF
the swimming school on New York avenue for Il o
free of the bath during at least three DAYS In
each week. two days for whites and one for coll
ored, the first half of the day TO be for women and
girls, and the last half including we'll into the
night for men and boys. And perhaps its uso
might be secured for five days each week And II
the Commissioners and Health Once fail 10 take
action, perhaps several of our wealthy citizens
who often contribute to needed public objects,
will donate sufficient sums for the free use Of this
bath, ut least for this season, when during the
next Congress the bath may be brought out and
made free, or another be constructed. This bath
is In very central location, and the three rail-
roads running by or near It, could we'll afford TO
start the subscription for the profit on the tens OF
thousands OF passengers To and nom tho free bath
during the summer. A. WATSON.

House iu tho First Ward.


Among tho old landmarks of this city may be
reckoned that large aud elegant residence situated
Ut the corner of NJ aud Twenty.fourt streets,
formerly the residence of Colonel Thompson, of
the United States Marine Corps. This house Is an
exact plan of the Executive Mansion, only on
smaller SCALE surrounded by extensive grounds
and shrubbery. Colonel Thompson married
Miss Burroughs, daughter of Colonel Bur
roughs, the first commandant of the Marine
Corps, and 1t was the first marriage ever cele.
brated In the commandments residence at
the Marine Barracks. Mrs. Thompsons
sister married Hon. John Nelson, a member Of
Congress from Maryland and aferward Attorney
General t the United STATES. Colonel Thomson
was noted as being the handsomcst man Of his
day, While his wife was remarkable for her agree
able and accomplished manners. They had one
child aud only daughter dixie their friends, the
Van Nesses) named Cecilia. In the year 1926 this
daughter, then quite young, married Mr.. Hersong,
secretary to the French consul, Nj. Pietro. They,
too, had large and fashionable wedding and
what was considered at that time q rare occur
renee,
THE TRoussEAU CAME DIRECT FROM PARIS.
Mr. and Mrs. Hersong resided for some years
here with Mrs. HIS parents, and the same lavish
Inequalities were continued to all tho elite of the
city, as well as the diplomatic corps. They were
noted especially for giving in their extensive
grounds strawberry festivals for the pleasure Of
largest and finest strawberries for that purpose,
subsequently tho Hersongs went to South
America, where Mrs. ii. died, aud 1t was
said her heart was sent home to her par
ents. For some unknown reason, Mrs. Thomp-
son refused to credit her daugter's death,
but believed she had been immured in convent
Grief for this daughters death caused her ul innate
arrangement, and passers-by could see this sad
lady wandering about her lonely grounds in her
night dress and disheveled hair, moaning and
mutterlng over her sorrows. After the death of
Colonel and Mrs. Thompson the property passed
into the hands of strangers but Il will always be
regarded point of interest to the older inhab-
tants of this city.

SOMETHING ABOUT MIRACLES.

To the Editor OF THE REPUBLICAN,:
One day Napoleon, with quite q retinue, made
an excursion to that identical point of the Red
Sea which, as tradition reports, the children of
Israel crossed three thousand years ago. The tide
was out and he passed over to the Aslatic shore
upon extended flats. Various objects Of interest
engrossed his attention until late in the afternoon,
when he commenced his return. The twilight
faded away, and the darkness came rapidly on.
The party lost their path and, as they were
wandering, bewildered among the sands, the
rapidly returning tide surrounded them. The
darkness of the night increased, and the horses
noundered deeper and deeper In the rising waves,
the water reached the grths Of the saddles, and
dashed upon the feet of the riders. and destruc
ton seemed inevitable. From this perilous posi-.
