Death Of Justice Lamar.

MACON. Ga, January %. = Justice
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
died here at $50 o'clock this evening. 1t
is terrible shock to the community.
Death was sudden in the extreme, for
although he had been aiiing for some
time, Justice Lamar appeared to be
gradually gaining in health. He came
from Washington to Macon about
month ago and has been visiting at the
residence of Mr.. W. II. Virgin, in Vine
vile. subGrb of this city.
This afternoon about o'clock Justice
Lamar took his overcoat, intending to go
to the city. but was met at the door by
friend, Dr. Llewellyn, with whom he re-
turned to the sitting room. At that time,
and during all the afternoon, he was in
good spirits, and at dinner, at $50 this
evening, he seemed to have good appe-
tite. DR.. Llewellyn left the house about
S O'Clock. and few minutes later JUS
tice Lamar was seized with violent pains
in the heart, and he died at the hour
mentioned.
Brights disease, with angina pectoris,
was the direct cause of Justice Lamar's
death, and is given by the physicians as
being the chief complication in the case.
Justice Lamar came into the city this
afternoon and called at the ofice-of Col.
R. E. Pardee, where he conversed pleas
antly on several topics. He was accom-
panied by DR.. Llewellyn on his return to
the residence of W. H. Virgin, who mar
ried Justice Lamar's daughter.
The attack was very severe while it
lasted, and the physician, DR.. a. g..
Parker. who had been in attendance,
arrived only few minutes before the
death. At this time Justice Lamar was
unconscious and beyond medical aid.
Restoratives were at once administered,
but were entirely without avail. He
died with his head on Mr.. Virgins hands,
and apparently without pain, the spasm
having passed off at that time.

They Refused to See Reporters.

LAKEWOOD, \. j., January 4.-Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland and ex-Secretary Of
State Bayard, who is the guest OF Mr..
Cleveland. were up and about at an
carly hour this morning and both took a
short walk and after awaiting the arrival
of the train from New York, returned to
the cottage of William c. Whitney. Mr..
Whitney is expected at any time, and
when he arrives Mr.. Cleveland will go to
work upon his Cabinet. Mr.. Whitney
wired that he would be here to-day.
Cleveland, while IN New York yester-
day, finished up all his private legal busi-
ness for the week SO he could remain
here. Senator Carlisle will be here to-
night and an interesting conference is
likely. There is no further doubt as to
Bayard entering ClevelanG's Cabinet.
That seems to be settled fact among
knowing politicians here.
Cleveland and Bayard refusyd to see
reporters this morning, saying that they
had nothing to say for publication.
Bayard will remain here for the balance
of tue week.

The State Bonds Placed.

On last Tuesday Gov. Tillman received
a telegram from Baltimore stating thae
the contract made with the syndicate for
the purchase OF State bonds had been
signed and that the deposit required Of
the purchasers on the signing OF the con-
tract would be deposited in Charleston
yesterday. The Bank OF Charleston
National Banking Association is the
depository. According to the terms OF
the contract the syndicate takes $1,000
600 of the bonds and has an option on the
remaining s5,So0,ooO. The State authori-
ties think there is no doubt whatever
about the syndicate taking all. Thus, at
last. the vexed question about placing
of the bonds seems to have been accom-
plished. The bonds have been placed at
/. per cent. Thus the bonded debt Of
the State is happily and successfully
removed from politics.

Fixing Freight Rates.

SCoLUMBIA, January 22.-The Railroad
Commission yesterday for the first time
exercised one of its powers under the
new railroad law 1t is in the shape of
an order fixing the joint rates on fertili-
GERS from Columbia and from Charleston
to stations on the Port Royal and West
eyn Carolina road. When the Richmond
and Danville road had control of this
road these rates were from 2.40 to 1874
per ton. The Georgia Central having OBJ
tanned control of it, Agent Craig, at Au-
gusta last week, raised the rates from
$40 to $40 on the strength of peti-
ton from the merchants in Charleston
and Columbia. The Commission has
made the joint rate from $3.50 to s2.I5.

Go Slow, But Sure.
columbia Register

The Railroad Commission was little
bit ''too previous in its first act under
the new railroad law. On January q 1t
issued circular fixing rates from Column
bia and Charleston to points on the Port
ROYAL and Western Carolina Railway,
said rates to go into effect on February l.
The Commission evidently paid no heed
to Davy Crockett's celebrated maxim.
BE sure you are right and then go
ahead. " The Commission was not right,
and it will have to undo or modify its
action. The law gives it the power to
make rates, but provides that the rates
shall not 90 into effect unit. thirty days
notice thereof has been given. The Com
mission failed to give thirty days notice,
and it's rates cannot be enforced. The
Commission made no provision for the
hearing OF objections TO the rate it pro-
mulsates, Yet the law distinctly provides
that roads desiring to object shall be
given hearing.
The action OF the Commission was pre-
mature, but it can easily be rectitied by
tie Commission. which should henceforth
move more surely. even if more slowly,
and acquire better knowledge Of the
law under which it is acting
The people of the State expect great
good to result from thenew railroad law.
and with the Commission lies the success
or failure of the law The railroads are
gong to fight the law and will employ
TIE pest legal talent obtainable to aid
them in their attempt to break down the
law; therefore the Commission should
let down no gaps;G should see that each
step it takes is with the express sanction
OF the law; it should entrench each posi-
ton it assumes.

Trying to Split the Alliance.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 22.-The
next issue of the National Economist will
contain manifesto from faction of the
Farmers Alliance appealing to members
of the order to repudiate the acts of the
late Memphis convention by forming
new organization on strictly non-par-
tisan basis. The manifesto is signed by
j. F. Tillman, of Tennessee, who, along
with his Office, was abolished as far as
the Alliance is concerned at the Memphis
convention. Mr.. Tillman denounces the
men who now control the Alliance and
reviews the origin and growth of the
order, pointing out its original purposes,
which he declares were in accord with
the principles of the Democratic party.
and which he, as lifelong Democrat,
undertook to carry out and impress upon
its members. Referring to and defining
the action of the late national campaign,
in which he is charged with treason to
the Alliance by sending out, under his
official signature, numerous documents
appealing to the Alliance to be true to
Democratic teaching, upon which it was
formed, he says:
81 conceived it duty devolving upon
me, both as general manager and director
of the lecture bureau of the National
Alliance and as an humble member Of
the Democratic party, to contribute to
the success of a cause common to the in
terests of both. That literature sent out
under my signature aided the Demo-
cratic party and contributed alike to the
defeat of the Republican and Third Par
ties, have no doubt, and freely admit.
In fact, such were my desires, because
the Third Party in my State and other
Southern States was allying with the
Republicans in its effort to defeat Demo
cratic principles A call will be issued
in few days for convention of the
seeding faction, which will meet in
Memphis or Atlanta some time during
April"

Locomotives Before Bibles.
fSavannah Morning News. ]


A writer in recent issue of the New
York Times estimates that there are IN
the isolated mouatain districts of North
Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky about 1000. 900 per-
sons Giving in the poverty, degradation
and vice born of ignorance Another
writer in the same paper corrccts the
statement by reducing the number OF
such inhabitants to about 100000: the
total population of the States named is
about 9o00, o. The second writer also
asserts that one-fourth of the number Of
mountaineers are fully equal in every
social, material and religious respect to
the average inhabitants of a Northern
village. The remainder of writer No. Is
allegations are agreed to; that is, as to
the poverty, ignorance and vice of the
people.
How to reach and regeneratc this mil
lion of people is the subject discussed by
each writer. The first says send school
teachers and the Bible and missionaries
among them; they need education 70
show them their immortality, and relig-
ious training to remove the superstitious
fear that makes them almost heathen.
The second writer says teachers and mis-
sionaries and Bibles are all well enough
in their way. but to get at the mountain
GERS and reform them in the shortest
time and most thorough manner possible
is, not to begin by sending preachers and
teachers into their districts, but to send
steam engines over lines of steel rails.
Put the isolated corners of the several
States into communication with the rest
of the world. and intelligence, education
and morality would soon take the places
of the conditions that exist there now.
Preachers and teachers, churches and
school houses would soon follow the
march of progress. Zone locomotive,
saws the writer who would work moral
reforms through civil engineering, would
do more than 100000 Bibles and 1000
churches. The common sense of the
present day will fully support this view
of the case. Religion End virtue need a
congenial soil to flourish in, and the pres
ent condition of the majority of the peo-
pie is not conge'lial to. anything but
ignorance and vice."
