Manly Letter From Grant to
Fitz-JOhu Porter.

New YORK, Nov. Cen. Grant has
addressed letter to Gen. Fitz-J ohm
Porter which concludes CAS- long as
have voice it shall be raised in your
support without any reference to the ef-
feet upon me or others. Your restora-
tion to the army simply l would regard
as a very inadequate reparation while
men, one at least, have been restored to
the army because of their gallantry and
wounds, after conviction and sentence,
not only to be dismissed, but to be con-
fined in the penitentiary, when there is
a doubt of their guilt and given all their
pay for the years they were in the SER
vice. l can see no reason for yonr hav-
ing less. hope for your thorough vim
dication not only by Congress but in the
minds of your countrymen"

Improved Condition of the Crops-New
Railways.

Railways.
SANDERSVILLE, GA, August 10.-A
heavy rain-stOrm prevailed here for some
hours on the Sth inst, accompanied by
strong winds from the Northeast, but no
damage was done. This morning is fair,
bright, warm and balmy, and vegetation
Of all kinds seems to have taken a new
and vigorous growth. During the drought
Of last month there were many direful
predictions as to the yield of crops. but
now that the showers have cooled off the
earth and air, the fears of the alarmists
seem somewhat assuaged, and il is gener-
ally conceded that with moderately fav-
Orable seasons, fully an average crop of
cotton viii be made, and that while corn
has been cut of considerably from the
yield promised in June, yet enough will
be made to supply the wants OF the coun-
Is for another year, for it must be re-
membered that the crop of 1888 will be
largely supplemented by the remainder of
the crop Of 1882.
The county, and particularly Sanders
vile, is greatly interested in the two new
cOntempted railroads now being agitated,
viz: the narrow gauge from Augusta to
Sandersville, and the Sandersville, Sparta
and Union Point, the terminus of each
being at this point.
The artesian well is at a standstill. The
original company, composed of private
citizens, having exhausted a fund of
81 900 in futile effort, have now given
the city authorities all their machinery,
piping, etc, and the City Council is pro-
ceeding quietly TO gather information, SO
that should the next attempt result i'm
failure it will not be at the loss Of the city.
1t is to be regretted that the generous gen
tIemen who expended their means in the
first effort did not proceed more eau
tIOusly.
The Teachers Institute was opened
here on 1st inst with Prof. Zettler, of Ma
con. as principal, assisted by Prof. Nc
Laughlin, of TalbOtton. 1t is surprising
how few avail themselves Of this great
privilege and benefit. Only seven white
teachers were present at the opening and
not more than three or four have entered
since.

LONDON, August 10. The Standard
this morning says that the government
has decided to provide an additional sum
OF 100000 to aid Irish emigration, the
money to be taken from the British ex-
chequer instead of from the church surplus
fund. A meeting in favor OF State-aided
emigration was held at the Mansion
House to-day. Earl SALISBURY presided.
A resolution was offered providing for
the sending of 100000 persons to Calcutta
and other British colonies for procuring
them farms in their new homes, the money
Tor the purchase of the land to be adj
Vanced by the State, which is to take
mortgages on the farms as security for
payment. The resolution, which was
supported by the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, was adopted. 1t is proposed to
send 100000 families to Canada next
spring.

NEW YORK, August 1O.-It is stated on
good authority this morning, that the
striking telegraphers last night practi
cally decided to abandon the strike.
1t was rumOred to-day that committee

upon what terms the company would re-

stated that this movement was 70 he in

was emphatically denied by many
strikers, who say that they never had
greater confidence in their leaders. and
that there are no such indications of
weakness as the rumor would imply.
superintendent Humstone, of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. said this
morning that the wires had not been dis
turbed during the night, and were all
working satisfactorily. Two operators
returned to work this morning, and sew
eral applicants have been rejected. He
also said that, although it had been re-
ported that the strikers had voted to 90 on
with the fight at their meeting Yesterday.
he had been informed that the leaders
had begun to lose courage, and told the
men to make what ARRANGEMENTS thew

At the headquarters of the strikers a
committee, consisting of Messrs, 0'COn-
nor, Campbell and Orr, was in session all
the morning. They had little to saw in
regard to the strike, but expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the condition
of affairs. They said that they confidently
believed in the ultimate success of the
strike, and thought that the telegraph
companies were resOrting to every ex-
pedlent TO conceal their real condition
CHICAGO, August 10.-The Western

Their Doors Said to be Only Temporal
rily Closed, However.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, August 10.-Large
crowds were gathered around the First
National Bank and the Indiana Banking
Company an hour before the opening time
this morning. At 9:4j O'Clock the doors
of both banks were still closed, and the
announcement was made that they would
not open for two or three hours The
Directors Of the First National, with sew
eral large and influential capitalists of
the State, met at O'Clock this morning.
INDIANAPOLIS, August 10, II p. NJ
Both Of the suspended banks remain
closed. The following notice is posted on
the door of the First National:
The Board of Directors are in session,
considering what is best to be done, but
have not yet arrived at a conclusion
The Directors of this bank adopted a
resolution this morning to double the
stock of the bank to $S00,000, in
stead of 100000, provided a syndi-
cate, headed by Messrs. DePauw
the management and controlling amount
of the stock. \ paper was drawn up to
this effect which was signed by all the Di-
rectOrs and stockholders present, and a
committee was appointed to get the con-
sent of the stockholders not present. AS
soon as this consent is completed it is un-
derstOod that new and strong parties will
come into the concern, that will make
it one Of the strongest financial institutions
in the country. 1t may take a few days
to do this and gather III the required
amount of currency, but it may be done
in a few hours. The other banks also
held meetings this morning and agreed
that if the proposed syndicate was formed
they would afford all assistance to the
First National that might be required
1t may be said, therefore, that whilst it
is unfortunate that the trouble occurred,
there is really no reason for alarm, and
that ultimate good may result from it in
giving the bank renewed strength.
Very little information has been OIL
tanned as to what the Indiana Banking
Company may do, but it is probable that
they will be able to resume also in very
short time. There has been no eXtraOr-
binary demand on any of the other banks
for funds to-day.

that are wasting in Southwest Georgia

in convention yesterday, eighty delegates
being present. William Backs, Chairman
of the Association, was chosen President.
and w. j. LoOves, Secretary of the Asso-

vention. The Chair then stated that the
object of the meeting was to organize for
the fall political campaign, and to take
into consideration all other questions
oflnterest. The obnoxious laws, he said,
passed by the Republican Legislature had
worked great disatfection in the Republi-
can ranks, as was shown by the last two
elections. He thought that their hopes
rested with the Democrats and their sue
cess depended on the defeat of the Repub-
lican party. A series of resolutions were
adopted celebrating the views expressed
by the Chairman in his opening speech.
