COLUMBUS, July Z, 1SS5.--There has
been considerable speculation in the
press of the country as 10 whether Gov
Hoadly would consent TO make the race
for Governor again. He has all along
refused to ALLOW his name 10 be used in
that connection Since his return from
Washington last week he has rented the
finest residence in Columbus. being the
one occupied BY B E. Smith, who built
the R,ckawsy Beach Hotel, and be will
take possession on the 1st OF Oc,obee
His intention IN renting residence so
near the close OF his term is variously
construed, some saying that he not only
intends to be candidate for Governor
hut that he has placed himself in the line
Eof entertainments and will make an effort
TO succeed Senator Sherman in case the
Leqi -lature should be democratic. Should
be be defeated for Governor there is a
well authenticated report to the effect
that the President has agreed to appoint
him to the first vacancv on the Supreme
Bench. This was in consideration that
Governor Hoadly should make the race
as an administration candidate.
JUDGE THURMAN's WISHES.
Judge Thurman is as busy as bee
after the Senatorial plume, and will not
look with much favor upon the fact oil

deepest interest to those in the work
shops. He will point out to the young
mechanics the high positions they may
attain. He viii compare foreign me-
chsnics with our home mechanics, and
tell some reasons why we have been
compelled 10 import workmen, and so
on. The talk is going to be one Of OK.
ceeding interest, and being the first Of
the fruits Of the Mechanics Institute
organization, looking TO the welfare OIL
our home-workingmen, We hope tina,
every workshop in the city win be re-
presented, and every merchant and citi,
rem whose sympathies are with the me-
chanics will attend.
The future Of Rishmoad is to be

A Great Railroad.


The leasing of the Central Pacific
railway, with all its branches, to the
Southern Pacific Company, If completed
according to the present understanding,
will form one OF the most powerful cor
porstions in the world. The Central
Pacific controls every approach to San
Francisco, and substantially all the FAIL
roads Of California. The Southern Pa
cifc controls the line from California
by way Of III Paso to Galveston and to
New Orleans, and, in connection with
the new line recently constructed from
New Orleans to Louisville, and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, complete route to
Norfolk on the Atlantic coast. In adj
dition it controls the steamship line be-
tween New Orleans and New York.
For the first time in the history Of the
country an entire line from San Fran
cisco to an Atlantic port will be under
one management, and practically under
the ownership Of one body Of men. The
effect Of this combination upon the in-
terests Of some other corporations may
in the end prove very important.
The Union Pacific has never been
able to reach the Pacific coast, connec-
ton beyond Ogden having been made .
the outset over the Central Pacific Lire
Its Oregon short-line will give it mse y
of communication with Portland in coz +
petition with the Northern Pacifict ht
no communication with California. The
Burlington and Quincy, and Denver and
Rio Grande, the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, and the Atlantic and Pa
cific, all depend upon the South
ern Pacific and Central Pacific for
connection with San Francisco and ac-
cess TO Pacific port. The Texas and
Pacific and the entire Gould system of
railways are in like manner dependent
upon the Southern Pacific for western
outlet. Several Of these roads already
reach or will soon reach outlets in
Mexico, but within this country all Of
them depend upon the lines controlled
by the new combination.

A FOUL DEED.
A Man Attempts TO Assassiaa'e His Father
in-Law with Shst Guu.

A Man Attempts 10 Assassinate His Foiher-
in-Law with she, Gun.
A special to New Orleans Times
Democrat from Hazlehurst, Miss, says ::
A cowardly attempt at assassination
was made here this afternoon. As the
south-bound passenger train pulled up
at the depot j. L. Ware, of Terry,
walked out of The smoking-car to the
door of the ladies' coach and discharged
the contents of double-barrelled
shotgun at Charles Fore, his father
in-law, who was standing in the centre
Of the car. The shot took effect in
Fore's neck and breast, and also
wounded w. A. Ward, Of Metropo-
lis, H., who was struck by about forty
No. 5 shot, which made an ugly scalp
wound on the back Of his head, and
struck his ear and shoulders His
wounds are painful, but not serious.
Those Of Fore, however, are considered
dangerous. The would-be assassin has
been placed in Jail. Great indignation
is felt here at the outrage, and if Fore
should die Ware would probably be
lynched. The trouble between the
men grew out of family affairs. Wares
wife, on account Of her husbands dis
sipation, left him and returned to her
father.

C. W. DABxEY, Phi. D., and Dirsc-
tor Of the Agricultural Experiment
station Of North Carolina, has written
10 r. v. GAINES, Esq. Of Charlotte
county, Va, letter in which we find
the following paragraph {;
8. We need more manufactures OF
all kinds. and we should begin BY man
ufacturiDg what we can use at home from
our abundant crude material. We can
begin with the simplest manufactures,
like those Of wood, for instance. Why
buy all our buckets, baskets, kitchen
utensils, and most Of our diary uten-
sis, with many Of our farm wooden
implements, from the North and West!
The establishment Of manufactures will
increase the prices paid for all the pro-
ducts Of the farm, and give remuners-
tive labor to all the idle hands. The
greatest good the factories do is in
giving employment to the boys, girls,
and single women. Unproductive labor,
which constitutes over one half the bur-
dens Of every community. is thus
changed into productive labor. Manu-
factures are thus the key to the situa-
ton we seek !; manufactures, first. Of
food-product, Of wood, iron, and all the
other most accessible crude materials,
to be followed by the more refined arts
in due time. These manufactures will
give employment to the idle brains and
idle hands. thus keeping them at home,
and converting their lives, otherwise
burden, into productive lives.

MYSTERIOUS MANIFESTATION

Gbostiy Lishfs Mo,ipg About an Indiana
Farm at Midniaht.
A Sedan lind telegram says: Since
the 18th day of last September, at diff
ferent times after III o'clock at night, it
has been stated by good authority that
a bright light has been seen at the win
dow Of the Miser farmhouse, in DE
Kalb county, near here, and a loud
rumbling noise was heard. In addition
to this light, as if conducted by an
invisible hand, has been since slowly
moving around a disputed tract Of land
on the farm. Hundreds of people have
visited the scene, many Of whom posi-
lively assert that they saw the lights
and heard the noise.
The present occupant Of the house
gave warning to-day that hereafter per-
sons who visited the premises for the
purpose Of seeing spooks would take
their chances Of being killed.
Superstitious persons ascribe the
manifestations to Samuel Miser. who
died year ago, leaving eight acres OF
land to fayorite son-in-law. The lat
ter has since been displaced from the
management Of the farm by the old
mans son, and has been unable to Sc
cure title to the land. 1t is about this
latter tract that the mysterious lights
