edness which may add $500, 1000 more to the
robbery. It is believed that in most cases
the money can be traced to county and dis
trict rings which have been abetted by the
Legislature.
In the United State District Court at
Baltimore on the second instant, Judge
Norris rendered his decision in the case of
Martha Steward and three others, colored,
against the Baltimore, Chesapeake e. Rich
mond Steamboat Company. Libellants pur-
chased tirst-class passage tickets on the
steamboat Sue, after being told that they
would not be admitted to the sleeping apart
lnents occupied by white females. This suit
was brought to recover $500 each for eXclu-
sion from that apartment. Judge Morris
said that it was the right of a common carri-
er of passengers to make regulations for
the separation of the different classes of
persons, but they have no right to make any
difference in comfort or convenience of those
who pay equal fare. The forward cabin as
signed the colored females was not in as COM
Portable condition as that assigned to the
white females, and he therefore awarded
decree of 500 to each of the libellants.
Notice of appeal was given. The color line
is also giving some trouble in Boston. A
colored citizens meeting recently censured
DIR. Tourgee, the director of the Conservato-
ry of Music, for making race distinctions, a
charge which the director denied. This has
elected card from Minnie Hays, of Will
mington, Delaware, in which she says: ~
came to Boston last September with the in
tention of entering the Conservatory OF
Music as pupil and also as a boarder. 1
was admitted as day-scholar, but on ac-
count of my color, was not received as a
boarder. Ny color was the reason given to
my mother"

THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. II, 1885.
LIMITING THE SALE OF FIREARMS.

A law, passed by the last Legislature OF
Georgia, proves efficacious in breaking up
the carrying of concealed weapons. In pre-
pairing the tax bill in the last Legislature
the following item was slipped in: upon
all dealers in pistols, toy pistols, revolvers,
pistol or revolver cartridges, dirks or bowie
knives, the sum of 500 for each place OF
business in each county where the same are
sold shall he levied" Since January l
traders, on paving their licenses, have been
confronted WIKI this additional charge, and
rather than pay it nine-tenths of them drop
that feature of their business. The effect OF
the license is to limit places where arms
can be purchased to a few populous points.
Thus those who have pistols cannot re-
plenish their cartridges without sending in
some instances seventy-fve miles, as the
dealers in small towns would not sell over
500 worth of such goods in year. The
license amounts to prohibition.
A bill of similar import as the above has
been introduced in the North Carolina Leg
iSlature

THE COTTON CENTENNIAL.

The executive committee of the national
cotton planters association, in session at
Vicksburg, Miss, adjourned on the 18th in
slant, to meet in New Orleans on Tuesday
last, the occasion of the opening of the
Worlds Cotton Convention. The work OF
the committees was mainly devoted to the
details of arrangements for the great con-
vention. The significance of this centenni-
al-celebrating the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the expectation of cotton from
America-will be especially observed this
week, which President Morehead predicts
will be the banner week of the exposition
in point of numbers of people in attendance.
The New Orleans Tn,es-Democrat says of
the convention that it is restricted to no
land or country. Great Britain, India and
China and every cotton-producing country
will send delegates. In the United States
the Governors have been requested to ap-
point delegates from every cotton-produc-
ing country, and most of them have done
so. 1t is calculated that at least 1000 per-
sons will be present, representing the bulk
of the cotton crop of the world.

TROUBLE ON THE FRONTIER.

Secretary of War Lincoln has instructed
Lieutenant Mcdonald not to turn over to
the Governor of Southern California the
Mexican mutineers recently arrested by his
command in Arizona, near the border, but
to hold them subject to receipt by the De-
partment of State, from the President OF
Mexico, of proper extradition papers. This
action is taken at the request OF the MeXl-
can government.
In view of this action, dispatch of Sat
urday says that one hundred armed Mex
leans crossed the Rio Grande on that day,
on their way to Carrizo Springs, for the
purpose of attempting the release of the
prisoners.
A dispatch of Sunday says that the situa-
ton at Carrizo Springs was growing Sc
rious. The dispatch says:
The citizens are determined to resist the
band of one hundred Mexicans when they
arrive and bloody battle is expected.
The citizens of Sevalla and Maverick coun-
ties are joining forces with Dimmlt coun-
ty in combating the marauders. Runners
have been sent to Cotulla and other points
for arms and ammunition.
1t is ascertained that the MeXicans crossed
the Rio Grande on the night Of the 9th in
slant. They numbered one hundred and
have divided their forces into four bands,
who are approaching Carrizo through un-
trequented portions of the country driving
away the herds by detail as they advance
into the interior. A spirited running fight
occurred to-day between the scouts of the
citizens organization and detail of Mex.

one American wounded. Sheriff Oglesby,

HENDRICKS AT ATLANTA.

The Hon. Thomas a. Hendricks and the
party accompanying him reached Atlanta
last Thursday morning on their way to
New Orleans. They were escorted to the
Kimball House, where breakfast was serv-
ed. The company they met at breakfast
consisted of about thirty prominent citi-
zens. A large crowd was congregated about
the hotel The mayor introduced Mr.. Hen
bricks, who addressed the people from the
balcony. He said:
Gentlemen Of the State of Georgia: did
not expect to receive this welcome at your
hands to-day. l accept it as tribute from
a great State of this Union-a State that is
firmly united with the great State of Indi-
ana, from which l come. [Applause.] [
accept it with pleasure because it is an hon
or done me by the people themselves. We
have recently in the North as we'll as in the
South passed through a strong political con-
test; [ think the greatest the country has
ever seen. 1t has resulted, in myjudgment,
most gloriously. The country is, for the
first time in great many years, to be placed
plause.1 1 believe that the change will befOr
the welfare not only of the white race but of
the colored race of our country, so many OF
whom l see here to-day.
Did you observe that of the millions of
votes cast the question was finally decided
upon the ballots of ,142 men in the State OF
New York? This entire country had its
political fortunes cast by that small vote, and
when it came to be known that there was
majority of LIP for Cleveland and Hen
dricks in the State of New York, it was
then known that the country had gone for
the Democrats, and that the difference of
l,l42 votes decided the judgment of fifty
four millions Of people. So grand spec
tacle has never been witnessed in any coun-
try of the world. 1t is the force of senti-
ment that the majority shall govern, and
Republicans North and South now bend
their heads in respect to the Judgment OF
the majority, as Democrats have done in the
past. And is it not an evidence of increas-
ed union between all sections of the coun-
try? 1t was not in the South that that
small difference controlled the vote. 1t
was not in this empire State of Georgia
that the small majority controlled fitty-four
millions of people. But it was in a North
ern State. 1t was in New York, a great
and powerful State, that majority of elev-
en- hundred and forty-two was given, and
North and South, that became the judg-
ment of the people.

THE GREELY EXPEDITION.

The journal of private Henry, who was
shot for stealing provisions, by order of
Lieutenant Greely, in the Arctic regions,
covering the period between October, 1883,
and June 1854, was made public on Monday
last by Gen. Hazen.
Private Henry writes under date of May
3: "He (Whistler) who was loudest in his
denunciation of the unfortunate who was
tempted to purloin a scrap of meat, was to-
day caught in the commissary, having bro
ken open the door, and was found with
about pound of bacon in his pocket"
The entry on May II is: "Cowardly ac-
ton of Greedy in wanting to shoot DR.. P;
also drew rifle on Bender; calls Kisling-
bury liar and apologies to enlisted men"
Four days later is the following: YES
terday Biederbeck and Whistler had row
out of doors and some one stole Ellison's
bacon which was under charge of Lieuten-
ant Greely. The terrible struggling of
death by starvation had no terror for us.
We looked with stolid indifference upon our
coming fate. A few hours before death
thew kept calling for water and could hard
lv be controlled or satisfied. All, with one
execution, were unconscious for hours before
diving. Poor Lockwood came out of his bag
to stand in the aley-way while the moon
shine distillery was going on and was the
last to receive his potation. Ere the rest OF
US had our share he requested a repetition
of the dose from the officiating steward and
upon being reprimanded by the officer for
asking such a thing from the steward, he
turned around to the doctor and said:
well, will 90 to the fountain head and
he repeated his demand. Upon being abso-
lutely refused he dropped to the floor and
hardly ever opened his mouth again to speak
another word"
May the 23d, after noting that Whistler
is dying, Henry says: "Called in tent and
informed that five men made sworn state
ment that Pavy stole Ellison's rations, and
been tampered with. a. w. g., if he does
die, dies the death Of miserable coward"
Private Henry then speaks of Whistler's
death, and says that the tea was found in
his pockets. On May % is this story:
"Poor Kislingbury is sinking rapidly and
the doctor has given him up. Last night
DR.. P. and Lieut.. G.. had another squabble
over medicine. The majority of US four
teen have given up all hopes of seeing our
friends again, but few have still chance
at the conclusion of the terrible tragedy to
be welcomed with universal acclamation as
worthy frontiersmen of Uncle Sam, and as
men who have made themselves immortal
by a splendid victory and innumerable suf-
ferings hitherto incompatible in the annals
of Arctic exploration and against all laws
of nature"
The notes of the first four days of June
are brief memoranda Of the rapidly sink
ing condition of those left. These were
made just prior to his being shot.
The diary generally confirms the rumors
which have from time to time arisen re-
specting the difficulties which existed du-
ring the encampment. From Lieutenant
Greely's diary the extract is made that he
would have ordered the offenders killed
had he thought that such action would have
been upheld.

A REPUBLICAN GAME.

A Washington letter says that many post
masters in various parts Of the country,
whose terms of Office will expire soon after
the 4th of March, have sent in their resigna-
tions, asking for reappointment for anoth-
er term, or suggesting the name of a success
sor. A large number have called atthe post
office department and rendered their resig-
nations with similar requests, and they are
frequently accompanied by delegations of
politicians to assist them. They seem to
think that the Republican administration
in it's dying days will do anything to secure
the retention of as many Republicans in of.
flee as possible. Each and all of the ready
resigners have been sent home with the
brief information that no designations will
be accepted under such circumstances, and
that if they maintain their tenure, even for
the remainder of their current terms, it will
be on account of the gracious conservatism
of Mr.. Cleveland. The President and de-
partment heads utterly refused to embarrass
the incoming executive by engaging in such
trickery.

pathize with Mr.. A. B. Williams, editor OF the
Greenville News, in the atfiiction he has recent
ly sustained by the death Of his brother, Mr..
Edward d. Williams, which occurred in the city
of Baltimore on Thursday night last. Mr.. Will
liams was junior brother Of the editor of the
News, and had been connected with that paper
as it's local editor for several years, until last
fall, when owing to his failing health he return
ed to the home of his parents in Baltimore,
hoping to restore his health by respite from
journalistic duties. He was thought to be
gradually improving, until last Thursday morn
ing, when a change for the worse suddenly oc-
Cured, and in the evening of that day he
breathed his last. He was twenty-six years OF
age, and is spoken of as an exemplary gentle
man. a cardinal principle OF whose life was

past month, and in every town i'll which they
have played have been favorably received and

THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.

In March next, the Augusta Chronicle will at
tain the venerable age of one hundred years, and
the enterprsing proprietors propose to celebrate
the event by publishing Il centennial edition OF
&c, 900 copies, which, among other interesting
features will be accompanied with a. Jac simtte OF
the old Augusta Chronicle of one hundred years
ago.
This edition will be devoted, in the main to a
presentation of the "Gcorgia of the past and
''present'-of her cities and towns, her agricul-
ture and her factories, her mines and her work
shops, her railroads and her commerce. South
Carolina will have place in the centennial edf-
tion, especially that portion Of the State on the
Savannah river tributary to Augusta and Savan-
nah. The sixty thousand copies will be circula-
ted in Georgia and South Carolina, and large
number will be distributed at the Centennial EX-
position at New Orleans.
AS may be inferred from the fact that it is near
ing the completion of it's one hundredth year, the
Chronicle is one of the oldest as it is one Of the

COMMITTED SUICIDE.

\On Thursday last, Mr.. w. II. Williford, who
lived about thirteen miles southeast OF York
vile, and near Thorncs Ferry, committed sui
eide by swallowing laudanum On that morning
he went to the field to plow and tabout9 o'clock
returned to the house, and, according to his
ante-mortem statement, took from the mantel a
vial of laudanum and swallowed the contents
about an ounce and half Soon after taking
the fatal dose, he called his wife, and complain
ing of feeling sick, told her what he had done.
She Immediately summoned physican-Dr.
Carothers-who arrived in due time, but the un-
fortunate man was beyond the reach of medical
skill though every effort was made to counter
act the effects of the poison.
Mr.. Willford was in town on sales-day, and
those who saw him then say that he was cheerful
and buoyant. He was in comfortable circum-
stances, having plenty around him, in the prime
of life, and no reason is given for the commits
sion Of the rash act.
