coLoulTT'S SUCCESSOR.
A Prominent Feature of tho Discussion
at the Capitol.


at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The ques-
ton as to who shall succeed Senator
Colquitt was Il prominent feature OF
discussion at the capitol yesterday
morning. The impression about the
honse was that Gov, Northen will not
appoint any of the avowed candidates
for the senatorship to fill out the re-
mainder of the present session OF
congress. The Georgia Legislatures
will meet in October and
elect a senator for the remainder OF
Mr.. Colquitt's term and for the full
term of six years beginning the 4th OF
March next. Neither Representative
Turner nor Speaker Crisp have an
nounced themselves as candidates, and
it is understood that Speaker Crisp will
not enter the race. There is no doubt,
however, that Mr.. Turner's name will
he presented to the Legislature when
that body meets in the autumn. 1t is
not improbable that Speaker Crisp will
contest for the scnatorship il any con-
sidcra BILE number of his friends in the
state desire to bring him forward.
In addition to the foregoing gem
tlcmen, Mr.. Dubingnon, of Savannah;
Mr.. Bacon, of Macon, and Mr.. Girard,
of Columbus, will, it is understood,
announce themselves as candidates at
an early day.
Mr. Patrick Walsh, the editor of the
Augusta Chronicle, iE the opinion Of
some of the Georgia delegation, is
likely to secure the nomination to
serve the remainder of the present
term of congress-

ON AN ICE FLOE.

rhe Pcrils of Sealing on Trencherous Ice
Forty Men Carried Away On the
Drifting Ice, Two of Whom Were Frozen
to Death Before Rescuers Reached
Them.
ST. JOINS, n. f., March 27.-Fresh
Water bay, outside st. Johns harbor,
on Saturday, filled with ice, among
which plenty of seals were seen. Men
from all parts of the coast went off to
hunt them and met with fair success
throughout the day. In the evening
the wind changed to westerly and
drove the ice off again. Most of the
men who went out were on the cc-ficld
when the wind changed. but the
greater number of them succeeded in
reaching land before the ice moved off.
About forty, however, were carried
out into the open water.
Much apprehension was felt in their
behalf as the night wore on and meas
ures for their relief We're taken. Sig
nal lights were burned and men were
sent here with steamers to go to their
assistance. 1t took some hours to reach
this city, and the first steamer only
started at o'clock Sunday morning
Another followed four hours later.
During the night changes in the posi-
tion of the ice caused by currents drove
some of it close to the headlunds, and
most of the men got ashore by swim
ming, though eight nearly died from
the cold.
They reported that party of nipe
persons were far off. and all cngeri&,
were devoted to rescuing these men,.
At last the party was sighted from the
outer cove, and boat put of to their
rescue. In this party there We're six
men, all of whom had been frost bitten
severely. A little distance from them
the rescuing boats crew sighted three
more people, of whom two were dead
of the cold, The third, the father of
the other two, was living, and may
survive his injuries.
