PUBLIC MEN AND AFFAIRS.
The mrod-Christophcr-
son Controversy in the Board.

son Controversy in the Board.
There is a new candidate for the seat of
Louis HeimrOd on the board of public works
1t is John Christopherson. This man for
twelve years was in the employ of the postal
department and transferred the mail in the
Il. Il NJ. and Union Pacific depots to and
from the wagons. He went out with the re-
publican party. Since then he has been to
Europe and taking things easily. Recently
it was thought he would be appointed as an
inspector of public works, but the arrange
mcnt was in some manner broken Since
then John has hungered for the proposed va
cancy, and solicited the kindly assistance of
Senator Manderson. The latter responded,
and the result was a letter to Mayor Broatch
asking the board position for the petitioner,
If Redman fails of confirmation, and
the mayor refuses to nominate
Heimrod, the presumption is that Christie
phcrsOn may be nominated, but il is very un-
certain that he will be confirmed There is IA
feeling that the board of public works IS de-
tcriOratmg and that il is being looked upon
by certain officials as a means of enabling
them to pay political debts, instead of a body
of competent practical men who have an
actual as well as theoretical knowledge of
public improvements. "There was a time,n

it will ever be that way again if we now
commence to put in men who while they
may have been good mail clerks, have not
had the experience TO qualify them to even
seek so important situation
IT was rumOred Monday that ten men
had been secured in the council to vote for
Redman as Heimrod's successor. If this be
true, Redman will be confirmed. Yesterday
however, certain cOunCilmen claimed
that there was no more chance of Redman
being confirmed than there was of being
elected president. Said one of these:
"Heimrod IS good enpogh for us, / don't

OF the Court.

Deputy United States Marshal Il.
t. Allen returned yesterday morning from
Washington, ID. c., with Peter Gross, who
had been confined in the United States hos
pital for the insane in that city. Gross was
convicted of subornation in the hiring of wit
ncsses TO perjure themselves in a case he had
on hearing in this court. The case was for
damages against the Union Pacific Railway
company for the killing Of his son. Among
the witnesses who pcriured themselves was
a brother of the deceased who is now sery-
ing term In the penltentiary for his crime
Gross was convicted at his trial, and pending
sentence he became insane. He has so far
recovered that he was yesterday sentenced
10 serve until April l, 1859, in tho gov
ernment penitenuary at Sioux Falls, Oak.
Deputy Stuart left last evening for Sioux
Falls to take Gross TO the penitentary.
j. H. Hopkins, who plead guilty TO passing
counterfeit money, was ordered To pay fine
OF 500 and the costs IN the case and remain
in the custody of the marshal until the 3rd of
July, Hopkins has been in Jail for some
time and owing to the destitute condition Of
his family the Judge imposed this very light
sentence upon him.
j. L.. Lewis, who is under Indictment for
representing himself as a United States
officer, was released on his own recog-
nizance until the second day OF the next
term of court. This action was taken by his
honor owing TO the fact that there was no
money with which TO procure witnesses to try
the case.

of grand results. Never again ask
Yourself the question "what good is
it all going to do, anyhow 2" but
rather what can l do to keep my
brother member from becoming dis
couraged, and doubtful OF any derived
benefit, and how can [ help to make
our next meeting interesting and in
structive. Let us discuss topics of
mutual interest, whether pertaining
directly to practical farming or bear
ing directly upon farming interests.
Let it be expected that two or more
members shall debate some question
at our next meeting. This is not
p~uerile, but will give an interest to
our meetings, insure a fuller attend
ance and truly I think will strengthen
us in the permanence OF our union.
And let us be patient. We may soon
derive Incidental and direct benefit in
various ways through plans like those
executed by the Texas Alliance; have
cotton yards and buy supplies cheaper.
But it may be long before we effect
great radical changes for the better.
Great results are not achieved IN a
day, and our fundamental object is a
grand one. The benefits you derive
may be small in comparison with those
your children may reap. At home
you are toiling on your farms that
your children may be benefited. Work
here for their sakes, work here for
the country Of your birth And

done, you will at least have the happy
consciousness of having done your

The Country's Railways.

According to statistics recently compiled,
the United States and territories now have
l45, 900 miles of completed railway lines.
A reasonably accurate estimate places the
number of men regularly employed by the
railways of this country at an average OF
ten per mile. This would indicate that
900, 600 men are engaged as workers III
various capacities in hevaSt work OF trans
sporting goods and passengers by rail. Of
course, the average of employees per mile on
the great transportation lines from the
teeming west TO the seabOard is greater
than it is on the minor lines. Thus the in
dications are that the New York Central
and Pennsylvania employ twenty persons
per mile, " hle some roads have less than
five. The New England states have 5000
miles Of railway. with probably an average

miles of road, has 10000 men. Ohio with
$500 miles of road, must have at least 90,
600 railway employees. and Indiana over
10000. The states of the far northwest
Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin aud Minnesota
have respectively $500, 1900, $500 and

TALK ABOUT THE TICKET.
How the Nominations Were Received
in Savannah

The news of the nomination OF Judge
Thurman for second place on tue democratic
national ticket was not long in circulating
through the city yesterday afternoon, aud
was pretty generally canvaSsed by those
who take an interest in political affairs
There was but one objection TO the nOnllna-
ton rs Sed, and that was the age OF
the candidate, although many expressed
some feeling that Mr. Thurman had been
SO severe in his broad a!,uS us to Gen
jackson in the last STAKE campaign
IN Ohio, and when attention had
been called TO the inaccuracies
Of his statement had not corrected them.
II was almost universally admitted that his
name viii add great strength to the ticket,
and thst his long and uniliuchiug service in
the ranks OF MS party viii bring out large
percentage Of extreme party men who are
not IN complete accord with the civil service
wing.
Mayor r. T. Lester said Cleveland
and Thurman Il a strong ticket. Thurman
is "A solid democrat a will enthuse the
party. Yes. it is a very strong ticket, and
VIII result in tue republicans nominating
Gresham and Dspew. or vice versa Mayor
Lester thinks the contest will be a close
one, but that Cleveland and Thurman will
be elected
About the court house the nomination
was discussed in whispers in the superior
court room, and a little louder down stairs.
William Clifton, Esq, said; at is first
rate ticket: Gray had only a local reputa-
ton while Thurman has national reputa-
ton. City Court Clerk Russell believes
that Thurman is a strong man and will
adj strength 10 the ticket in the north.
City Sheriff Goodwin is well satisfied
with Thurman, and Sheriff Roman calls the
ii ket a strong one. Capt. Dillon, tax re-
cciveT, IS satisfied with he ticket.
There was more interest on the streets
about tho platform, and the Western Union
telegraph Office had a crowd in front of it
from the time the convention began its
session yesterday morning until the last
bulletin was posted IN the afternoon, an
nouncing that it had adjourned
sine die. The prevailing sentiment was
in harmony with the position
that the Presidents message was the
true Interpretation of the tariff plank of
the platform of 1884 and when the bulle-
tins announced that the convention had so
passed upon il. there was a self-satisfied
look on the facsi of the crowd

st. Julian street, near the market, was
the scene last night of genuine fist and
skull fight. The parties engaged in it were
Handy" the bootblhck and another boy of
the same stripe They disputed over a
'shine in front of the Screven house and
would have "hitched" there but Tor fear of
being run inn by the policeman who had
an eye single to their welfare in case they
did get tangled in each others embrace.
They postponed the scuffle until they were
near enough to their dens in the market TO
outwit the officers in case they were
deserted. A crowd gathered to see the
fight, because they knew what kline o.

these words than hungry Handy hit him
hard under the chin. The boy returned the
compliment, and clinching they made
rough and tumble of it. After they had
beat one another for some time some one in
the crowd got good and pulled Handy off.
The police missed the affair and the boys
went their way in peace, neither van
pushed, and the fight was a draw

Sheftall did return and took the whips and

there is not only sport in hunting them, bug
it is very profitable industry. The hes Il
and eggs are in great local demand, AID
they are shipped by the ocean steamship
vessels TO the north. Conductor Barbee of
the Coast Line railroad received three
monster turtles from Warsaw Wednesday,
each weighing from AIS TO 800 pounds, two
OF which he sold TO the Warsaw inn, and
the third he kept himself and gratuitously
supplied the citizens Of Thunderbolt with
turtle flesh and turtle eggs. He took over
LOO eggs from the turtle. Mr.. Enright,
proprietor Of the Warsaw Inn, has chained
his two turtles in the river at ThunderbolC,
and the monsters come 20 the surface to

A FROGTOWN SET-TO.

The Parties Get Into Court About 1t.
Annie Grant (colored) walked into Justice
Sheftalps court yesterday and swore out n
warrant against Ned Caleb, charging him
with assault and battery. The difficulty
occurred Yesterday morning in Frogtown,
and from the woman's statement Caleb beat
her without a cause. Constable Isaac
Nathans brought Caleb into court to answer
the charge, and he was released on bond for
his appearance in the city court to-day.
He stated, however, that the woman pro-
voked the difficulty, and because he
popped" her jaws she run off ter de
court 'ouse wild er great long tale"
After the woman saw the bond drawn
up she tripped out Of the office with as much
satisfaction as if the man had been hanged.
Caleb thought that it was a great wrong
that women like that could jerk a man up
from work for so trivial a matter and have
him lodged in Jail, or else losing a days
time in court But Caleb must know the
penalty attaching to his crime.
