GORDON AND BACON BANDYING THE LIE IN
GEORGIA-FEARS OF A DUEL.

GORDON AND BACON BANDYING THE LIE IN
GEoRGIA-FEARS OF A DUEL.
An Augusta, Ga, special to the Philadelphia
Press says: There is very lively political war
in this state This morning Gen. Gordon and
Maj. Bacan arrived here on their joint tour of
the state. Tine first speech was made in Eaton
ton, where the chairman, Mr.. Nesbit, introduce
ing Maj Bacon, said he had a right to run as
often as he pleased. The reference to his
numerous campaigns nettled the major, who
declared that he had never seen such conduct
among gentlemen. "Then," said Mr.. Nesbit,
you are not used to the society of gentlemen"
The speech of Gen. Gordon made reference to
the fact that Bacon had resigned the adjutancy
OF the 9th Georgia regiment during the war.
When Bacon TOOK the stand he was llvid with
rage aud declared, "Wnoso asserts it lies;
whose insinuates it lies; whose repeats it after
hearing me to-day that l ever resigned any
public trust in peace or in war, when my
vices would benefit my people or country, and
when l was physically able TO serve them,
lies" Yesterday the candidates met in Sparta,
where Gen. Gordon repeated the charge that
Maj. Bacon had lett his place in the army, and
a sharp controversy followed, during which the
lie again passed.
There is no disputing Bacon's personal cour-
age, however, and Us Gordon has been 100
often tested to have any doubt of his, such
meetings as these in EatontOn and Sparta are
almost certain to end in an offer to step over
into neutral grounds in Alabama.

The Naval Appropriation Bill.

$4,000 FOR THE NATIONAL OBSERVATORY.
The House committee on naval affairs to-day
practically completed the naval appropriation
bill, and it will probably be reported to the
House tomorrow. The bill appropriates about
1,75O,OOO while the estimates submitted by
the Navy department contemplated an ex-
penditure of S3O,S36, 357. The appropriation
striking discrepancy apparent between the APP
preparation for the next year and the estimates
OF the department is explained by the fact that
all OF the items included in the estimates for
new construction, aggregating S14, SIG, 1868, are
omitted from the appropriation bill, as they
form the substance OF the special bill for the
new naval establishment already reported by
the committee.
An item of $4,000 was added to the bill to
provide for construction of buildings for the
new naval observatory in this District.

An Ex.COngresSman Indicted.
CHARGED WITH FALSE PRETENSE IN THE SAIL


OF MINNESOTA TIMBER LANDS.
A special to the Philadelphia Press from Fer
gus Falls, Mimi, May 10, says; In 1883 ex-
Congressman Henry Van Arnam and George
l.. Cornwell, both of New York, owned large
tracks OF pine land in this state, from most of
which they had stripped the pine. They sold
1000 acres along the line of the Northern Pa
ciiic railroad, including the present site OF the
New York Mills, Mimi, to A. s. Blowers, who
paid S12, 900 forthe land, receiving clear title
by warranty deed. Eighteen months ago Blow
ers is sand TO have discovered that the land was
not clear of an attachment which had been
placed on 1t previous to his purchase, and still
held over his title. Mr.. Blowers has since en-
deavored to obtain satisfaction from Van Ar
nam and CornweIl, without avail, and has been
unable to dispose OF more land. In consequence
holders OF land already sold look to him 10 save
them from harm in the premises. The county
attorney will secure requisitiOn from the gov
ernOr OF New York for the defendants, who
have been indicted for securing money under
false pretense. The matter will be brought
to trial at the fall term OF the court.
