What the President of Amherst College
SayS.


BosToN, August 6th-The Journal this
morning prints note from President
Scelye, of Amherst College, one of the most
prominent and influential men in the indie
pendent movement, which says: - have
advocated laying down certain principles
on which it has seemed to me important to
take our stand; have thus far neither adyo-
Gated nor opposed any particular candi-
date but if the charges concerning Cleve-
land are true do not see how anyone with
self-respect can vote for the man, nor
party with any pretensions to decency can
keep such n man in nomination. TO affirm
that the offences are not venal because they
have not been Haunted in the face of the
public, or to argue that since they affect
only the candidates private life they are no
bar TO his election to a high public office,
indicate, | should say, n shocking debauch-
cry of moral sentiment"

The Count in Other States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-AnnOunce-
ments of meetings of Presidential electors
to-day in various States are being received.
In the majority of them the action was
pnrely formal, but one or two varied the
monotony somewhat. In New Jersey,
after concluding the regular business, the
electors united in recommending AttOr-
ney General Stockton to President-elect
Cleveland as a proper representative of
New Jersey for Cabinet position, in case
Gov. Cleveland should determine to select
a member of his Cabinet from that State.
At Raleigh the ballots used were made
of silk grown in North Carolina, and were
made into a United States flag. The Ar
kansas electors unanimously adopted a
memorial to the President-eiect, urging
Senator Garland for Attorney General.
The Kansas electors adopted the follow
ing:
ResoJoed, That we desire to convey to our
gallant standard bearers, Hon. j. g. Blame
and Gen. John A. Logan, an expression of our
confidence and esteem, that we regard Blame
and Logan as private citizens as higher and
better representatives of American manhood
than any official representative of the Demo-
cratic party; that we recognize in j.
G.. Blaine the greatest living rep
resentative of American Republicanism,
and tender to him our earnest thanks for his
manly and aggressive campaign for Repub l.
can supremacy; that Kansas, the first born
child of Republicanism, again pledges her
fidelity to Republican principles IN the future
as in the past. Kansas will march at the head
of the Republican column, giving more Re
publican majority in proportion to her popu-
latiOn than other State.
The Secretary was instructed to forward a
copy OF the resolutions to j. G. Blaine and
| John A. Logan.

HIDEOUS TRIPLE MURDER
MITCHELL COUNTY THE SCENE
AND ROBBERY THE AIM.

The Heads of the Victims Nearly Sew
cred from Their BOdies-An Asleep
when AssaiIed.-The Iurderers Flee
in a Stolen BUggy-POsses in Pursuit.
BAINBRIDGE, GA, Dec. 3.-Information

ties We're asleep.
THROATS sLASHED FROM EAR TO EAR.
They were found this morning in bed
with their throats cut, their heads being
nearly severed from their bodies. 1t is
thought that the purpose of the murder
was robbery, as it was reported that God
win had large sum of money. This, how
ever, they failed to get, it being elsewhere.
BOLD THEFT.
After the terrible deed was committed
the murderers stole a horse and buggy
and made their way into Florida or Ala

ing, and are in pursuit of the murderers.

England's Claims on the Niger Threat
ening to Disrupture the Conference.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.--Sir Edward Malet's
pro meria states that England in the in
terests of traders had established pro-
tectorate extending northward to BERN,
and southwark to Ambos Bay, thus COM
prising the whole Lower Niger country
to the junction with Benore river. Eng
land does not claim the rivers crossing
the Rio Del Rey river. The Niger is nav
igable $50 Kilometres and the river BenOre
$40 kilometres. Sir Edward Malet
states that the British discoveries were
made since 1880, that the commerce of the
Niger basin has been solely English, and
that the progress of civilization there has
been due to the efforts of the British Con-
sails.
Earl Granville, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, has instructed Sir Ed
ward Malet, the English delegate to the
Congo Conference at Berlin, to adhere to
his declarations and to decline to admit
that either the powers or the conference
can interfere in that portion of the Niger
territory which is under English protec-
tion. In his position at the conference
Sir Edward Malet has the support of the
delegates from Portugal and Italy against
those of France and Germany. 1t is
stated that the results expected TO be ac-
complished by the conference have been
imperiled by the Niger dispute.

GEORGIA's LEGISLATURE.
Rev. DIR. TaImage Delivers the Opening
Prayer Before the Senate.


ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 9.-In the Senate |
to-day prayer was offered by Rev. t. De-
Witt Talmage. Nothing of interest trans
pired. The greater portion of the day
was taken up hearing bills on second
reading.
In the House to-day resolution was
offered by MIR. Brown to appoint joint
committee to report whether the session
should be continued over forty days.
On motion of Mr.. Harrell, of Webster,
bills were put on their third reading as
follows:
Mr.. HarrelPs, to allow railroads to be |
bonded at $4,000 per mile. Passed.
Mr.. FeltOn's, to establish a reformatOry
prison, was made the special order for
Wednesday next.
Mr.. Harris, for a chronological college,
was made the special order for Wednes-
day next.
Mr.. Bond, from the Committee on the
Lunatic Asylum, made report that the
old building was in reasonably good re-
pair. The new building is in good order.
More water is needed. The economy was
cOmplimented and the institution praised.
The report was ordered printed.
NOTES ABOUT TOWN.
The South Carolina exhibit on a special
train made a sensation to-day as itpassed
through this city en- route to New Orleans.
II is currently reported here that Rev.
Robert Grant, the cOlOred pastor of the
Humphreys Street Baptist Church, has
been temporarily suspended from the
church. The charge is that he voted the

SUPREME COURT CASES.
The Eastern Circuit came up in the Su-
preme Court to-day. The first case
sounded: T. W. Pratt vs.. j. d. FOntaine.
Mr.. Garrard appeared for the plaintiff and
Mr.. Meldrim for the defendant. The case
was argued. The next was the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway VS..
Harper. Mr. Erwin appeared tor the
plaintiff in error and Mr.. Lester for the
defendantin error. Pending the reading
Of the abstract the court adjourned.
THE NEW CAPITOL.
The contractors to-day, while eXcavat-
ing for the foundations for some of the
wall of the new capitol, came upon an
old cistern and a soft marshy place under
the surface. The commission was noti-
fed, and this afternoon visited the grounds
for the purpose of ascertaining what eX-
| ira work was necessary to make the
| foundation safe. 1t is believed that the
| difficulty in the way can be overcome,
and all that they will have to do in the
premises will be to settle with the con-
| tractors upon the remuneration for this
extra work.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The municipal election passed off quiet
| ly to-day, light vote being pOlled in all
| the wards. Two tickets were in the field
the Peoples headed by Reuben Arnold
| for Mayor, and Citizens with George Hill
| yer for Mayor. Although the count has
not been completed, enough is known to
| guarantee the statement that the Citizens
ticket is elected. 1t reads: For Mayor,
Geo. Hillyer; Aldermen, John R. Gram
ling, JnO. Tyler Couper H. G. Hutchin-
William j. Garrett, d. A. Beatie, E. F.

mated at between 800 and 1000.

Planters Talk of Turning to the Cultiva-
tiOn of Rice.
There appears to be hard times ahead
for the Louisiana sugar planters, says a
New Orleans special. Menaced by the
proposed trade treaty with Spain, which
permits the competition of Cuban sugars,
the possibility Of a renewal of the MOrri-
son horizontal reduction of duties, sup
plemented by the impression that the gen.
eral government will dump overheard no
more Federal treasure for Ievee building,
some of the most sagaciOus sugar plant
ers on the Mississippi river are preparing
to abandon the cultivation of sugar cane to
20 into planting rice. This is especially the
case with all that class Of planters who
have become embarrassed in the course
of planting operations and gotten behind
With their merchants. Rice seems to be
the coming crop of Southern Louisiana,
and if, in addition to the present prevail
ing low prices in sugar, the treaty with
Spain is ratified it Will almost entirely
supersede the cultivation of cane. 1t
will only be the large planters who have
fortunes invested in sugar houses and the
machinery and necessary apparatus for
sugar-making who will have the hardi-
hood to continue to plant that crop at the
present unremunerative prices. Those
| best informed claim that the rice crop
will net $40 to the acre, with much less
outlay and less risk than sugar-plantlng
L involves.
