AUGUSTA, GA, Aug. 4.-There is a big
row IN this Senatorial district. w, G..
Brady, who was put forward by the dele
gates from Glasscocll in the recent con =.
ventIon which nominated Hon. John 5 .
Davidson, is out in a card in the Cnroni-
Gle announcing that at the request of the
Democracy he will make the race against
Mr.. Davidson. The Glasscock meeting
was held saturday, but this is the first
official notice Of the affair. Mr.. Brady
says that Glasscock's right TO name a SEN

Immunity for Himself the Price of
His Turning States Evidence.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 4.-The Directors
of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Company held special meeting at the
office of the company to-day, at which the
counsel for the board was present. The
object of the meeting was to consider a
letter received by President Gillingham
yesterday afternoon from the defaulting
Secretary and Treasurer. James A. l..
Wilson, who helped to steal over 5000, 600
from the corporation by the fraudulent
issue OF per cent. bonds to that amount.
The letter was dated New York, and the
writer in it offered to surrender himself
and Henry V. Lesley, his predecessor in
Office and his associate in crime, to the
proper authorities here, providing all
prosecutions against the writer are with
drawn. The offer did not ask immunity
for Mr.. Lesley, and the inference drawn
from the proposition is that MIR. Wilson
means to turn States evidence against
his cousin, who began stealing many
years ago.
There are features about the commuui-
cation from Wilson, the defaulting Score
tary of the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal, that induce a suspicion that it was
not written by Wilson nor for him, but
is the work of some practical Joker VINO
wished to create a sensation. The canal
officials are badly belonged

ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 4.-The latest
candidate in the field for the United States
Judgeship is Gov. Mcdaniel. 1t Is re-
ported that his friends are feeling the way

will be made for his appointment. A
Washington dispatch indicates split
between Senators Brown and Colquitt on
this appointment. Mr.. Colquitt working
for a new man and Mr.. Brown for Judge
Brown OF Canton. There is considerable
talk here over the situation, and there is
now great uncertainty as to who will get
the appointment. The politicians are
watching the outcome Of the fight be-
tween Messrs. Brown and Colquitt.
THE TAX DIGEsTS.
The tax digests received to-day show
an increase for Colquitt, Pulaski and
Union, and a decrease in Barlow and
Paulding counties. The decrease in Cam
den county is so large that the Comp
trolleI wrote to inquire the reason. The
tax receiver replied: "Cattle died and
niggers lied"

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Times, ailuding
to the demonstration IN Dublin yesterday
upon the departure of the Earl OF Aoer-
deem, says: 1t would be absurd to at
tempt to draw any conclusions from the
spectacle, which, though not without lis
pleasing features, chiefly illustrates the
instability and insncerity of Celtic char
acter. All the scenic apparatus is ready
to show Ireland's heart hatred OF Eng
land when it suits the stage managers TO
change the performance.

Quis of Londonderry will start for Dublin

ON THE EVE OF RETIREMENT.
Mr.. Gladstone, in a letter to Arnold
Morley, says:
Even apart from the action OF permanent
causes, the strain of the last six years upon
me has been great, and must look for an OPP
pOrtunlty for some change and repose
whether in or beyond England. But in one
important respect l feel that relief must be
sought forthwith and be made permanent
1t has been my fate to be charged with
personal correspondence in part highly

forth to maintain the establishment, or prom
Use the devotion or time and the surrender OF
personal liberty which the efficient conduct OF
intercourse by letter with not less than 10000
persons each year requires.
Mr.. Gladstone then adds notification to
all concerned of his inability to reply TO
letters and return manuscripts. Some pe0-
pie believe that the ex-Premier's letter
forecasts his retirement from public life.
GLADsTONE's CONCESSIONS DEMANDED.
A meeting of Parnellites was held in
Dublin to-day. Mr.. Parnell was reelected
Chairman and Justin Mccarthy Vice
President. Messrs. She'll, Biggar, Deacy
and +. Redmond were appointed whips,
and Messrs. Leahy, Arthur O'COnnor,
as secretaries. The members renewed
their declaration to pledge themselves TO
maintain the right of the Irish people to
govern themselves, and 1t was resolved
that no measure offering less legislative
and executive control over Irish affairs
than does Mr.. G!adstOne's bill be accept
ed as a settlement.

C0MPANIONABLE PEOPLE.

In every society we find that the
people who are called companoniable
are those who have a knack ofmaking
light of their tribulations, and vex-
ations, and habit of putting them
out of sight, who do not entertain
their acquaintance with the recital
of a bad baking, leaky pipe, the
children's measles, the shortcomings
of the servants; who know how to
keep their melancholy, if they have
any, out of the conversation whose
nerves do not furnish them with
material for morning call; who are
not always on the outlook for a
draught, or change of weather, or
slight do not lament their poverty
aloud, and make us feel responsible
amidst our plenty. The companions
able people never make us dissatis-
fed with ourselves or our belonging !;
they talk about the things we like to
hear and are silent upon the subjects
oil which we disagree; they do not
differ from us for the sake of differ

ions if there were no appeal there.
