A Decidedly Angry Opposition to the
Measure.
NEW YORK, July 23.-The Herald pub.
fishes a dispatch from Governor Gordon,
of Georgia, in which the governor states
that he is in entire accord with the spirit,
tone and practical suggestions of The At
lanta Constitution as to the use of boy
colt as "a means of self-preservation and
commercial independence if the useless
and infamous force bill becomes a law"
Moreover, the governor says, that spirit
will possess and control approximately ev-
cry white man, woman and child in the
southern states.
Hopeful of the Senate.
The governor says that ever since the
bill passed the house he has hoped "that
some of the Republican senators would be
found patriotic enough, broad and brave
enough, to prefer the well-being of the
country to party ascendancy. But il this
hope is not realized and the force bill be-
comes law, he will use whatever influ-
ence he may possess to arouse the south
ern people to the necessity of looking only
to their exhaustless resources.
viii Resist by Lawful Means.
I'VE WILL he says. welcome to our
section all our countrymen of the north,
who may wish to live among us, and we
will still protect all their investments and
| rights of property by impartial laws and
honest courts, but we shall counsel re-
turn to the old system of the election OF
| representatives by a general ticket if needs
be, or resort TO any lawful, peaceful
| means in order to protect the right oil
choosing representatives and to resist the
| wrong of having them chosen for us by
| federal supervisors"
mo Justification Nor Excuse"
The governor concludes his dispatch as
| follows: I'VE will still endeavor to keeI
| peace and promote good will between the
races, and sincerely hope that the south
ern negroes will not destroy their OWL
prosperity by consorting with those
| whose mad policy threatens the well-be-
ing OF both races. We shall still hope
| that after these years of apparent recon
| ciliation, of restored confidence, we shall!

timent turned backward and downward

The Rise i'm silver.

LONDON, July 23.-The sudden rise in
the price of silver has caused all he finan-
cial writers ON the London press to
sharpen their pens and put their deepest
thinking caps on in the hope of enlighten=
ing the world as to the cause and effect of
this alteration in the ratio between the
two precious metals. The expert of The
Morning Post pronounces the obiter die
tum that the fiuctuation in price is but a
passing cloud; that the effect of the Amer
lean silver bill will be wholly transitory,
and that there will be very little of the
effect even while il lasts

ARE OUR STATESMEN scoUNDRELs
The Pith of Question Asked by the
New York Herald.

New YORK, July 23-The Herald's
Washington special says: Are English
influences at work in the senate? Is the
power of English money so great in this
country that it can defeat legitimate ap-
preparations for the government work in
order that the syndicates composed of
English capitalists may reap the benefit ,
These reflections are suggested by the
failure of the conferees on the fortifica-
tons bill to reach a satisfactory conclu-
sion regarding the disputed items in that
measure
The reason of the Herald's imputation
of rascality on the select of the American
people is the difference of opinion as to
an appropriation for Watervleit arsenal,
which it may be noted is located in New
York state.

Awful Peril of an Excursion Steamer In

AUBURN, y. Y, July pa gentleman
who arrived in the city on the Has Cen
trail train Monday night gave United
Press reporter an account of what might
have been terrible casualty at Niagara
Falls Monday The pleasure steamer
Ella II, which runs from Port bay to
Buckhorn island, was obliged to run
around Green island on account of the
low water in the river. The island is only
short distance above the cataract. Just
as the steamer was rounding the island in
the swiftest part of the river at that point
the engine gave out. The anchor was
hove overheard, but it failed to catch, for
some distance dragging along on the rock
bottom When it did finally get hold
the boat WAS under such Roadway that the
bulkhead, to which the hawser was at
tached, was torn from its fastenings.
Saved by Knot In the Chain.
When nearly the whole of the chain had
been paved out the end became knotted in
the hole in the bulwarks aud held the
boat The trouble with the engine proved
to be defective valve which WAS soon re
paired, and the boat was again got under
Roadway, but so great was the force of the
current that it took fifteen minutes to
reach the spot where the anchor caught,
100 feet upstream from the boat There
were about $50 passengers on the steamer,
and pleasure barge attached TO it. There
was terrible scene of confusion-women
tainted. children screamed, and men bid
each other goodbye The boat was only
a short distance above the falls when
stopped, and it was a miracle which saved
the lives of the $50 people on board.

A Republican View of the Matter.

NEW YORK, July 23-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Probably the
most foolish thing which the opponents
of the elections bill have done this far is
to threaten men from the north who have
invested money in business enterprises in
the southern states, and to couple with
this, as The Atlanta Constitution has
done, a threat to boycott northern mer-
chants and business men generally. There
is not the least danger that either threat
will be executed, or that any southern
business man will have the least sympa-
thy with it. The plain truth is that south
ern men who are earning an honest living
and making money by application to bust
ness have outgrown the provincialism and
intolerance of southern Democratic poll
ticians, and have begun seriously to doubt
their wisdom -
