1 htdtc III Oft w uIfcu, Out WAS TtltdHeu on his
parole In October, 1855. In February, 1855,
the general assembly elected him to the Office
OF United States Senator, but congress ignored
the restoration Of Georgia 10 the Union under
the proclamation OF Andrew johnson, so M 1.

legal disabilities having been removed, he was
elected member Of the forty-third congress

speech, Feb IL, 1873, upon the occasion Of the
reception by congress OF apainting represent
ing the signing OF the proclamation OF enamel
patton, he said that In advocating secession in
1861 he never supposed the dissolution would
be permanent. He was elected governor of
Georgia in the fall of 1882, and his adminstra-
tiop, though OF so short duration, was heartily
commended by all his constituents. Mr. Ste
phens had published several books, "a History
Of the War between the States" and "a Con-
stitutional View OF the late war between the
States" being regarded as his best works. His
death Is regarded as great calamity to the

A call for an educational mass con-
vention TO be held at Frankfort, Ky, April 5,

against the union be withdrawn. Mr. Ridgely,
president OF the company, refused to accede
and claims that the association exceeded it's
right, as the company had not interfered with
the association or any OF its members who were
employed In the bar and puddle mill. He
claims that Mr. Jarrett, president OF the ma
tional amalgamated association, and Carpenter
OF Chicago, vice president for that district, dur
ing their recent visit TO that city, assured him
that the association had no right 10 interfere
In arrangements which the COMPANY bad
thought best to make in their new works. A
reply was sent to President Ridgcly, saying II
was impossible for them to retrace the step
the association had taken. The company
seems determined to lose the large orders they
have and keep the mills shut down rather than
submit TO the demands OF the men. The con-
test bids fair to be a protracted one.
