Georgia Central Reorganization.

NEW YORK. April 11.-Mr. r. T. Will
son says: "The Georgia Central railroad
plan was formulated several months ago,
but l am not at liberty to discuss its
contents and provisions. / know, how
ever, that no alterations have been made
since It was shown to me. AS for the
talk that an attempt was being made
by General Thomas and Thomas F. Ryan
to buy me out Of the Southwestern, that
is absurd. General Thomas has never
made any overtures to me. / am the presi-
dent Of the company, and no price could
buy me out. 1 intend to retain all my
interests In the road. / have to-day
had communication from Cen
eral Thomas asking me to confer with
him. / presume it is upon the plan Of re-
organization"

vast concourse OF prisoners.
In the mean time. the army has been
encouraged to-day by a parade OF about
1000 workingmen In Salt Lake, who tele-
graphed sympathy with their movements.
At a meeting of the army held late last
night It was unanimously decided that
they would march east on foot IL al

Irish Land-Tenure Bill.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Irish land
tenure bill was read for the second time
to-day In the House Of Commons. The
chief provisions Of the measure are aimed
at preventing an increase OF rent on ac-
count OF tenants improvements upon the
property and a reduction OF the judicial
term. during which fair rents apply,
from fifteen TO eight years. as the
farmers argued that the value Of their
holdings would undoubtedly change be-
fore fifteen years. in view of the cheap
ening OF products due to American and
Australian competition.
The second reading OF the bill was
greeted with prolonged Irish cheers.

Cincinnati, after leaving Notre Dame
Convent AS to the motives that led TO
her going to Cincinnati, Mr.. Butterworth
said that 1t had pleased Providence to
leave earmarks here and there in her
story, so that they might discriminate be-
tween what was true and what was false.
Throughout all this time he begged to
call their attention to a condition Of mind
on the part Of the plaintiff as far as pos
sible from what she claimed II was. She
was, In fact, an altogether different
woman from what she had tried to make
herself out, judged by the standards by
which we must all be judged here and In
the hereafter, by the deeds done In the
body The character OF the wo-
man is indicated In everything she did
as clearly as can be.
Taking In his hand the Wessie Brown
letter, Mr.. Butterworth called their atten-
ton to the fact that 1t was written
months before she met Mr.. breckenridge
He read II over to the jury again,
stopping frequently to point out that such
sentiments as the letter contained were
not those OF q woman such as Miss Pol
lard wanted them to think her.
She spoke OF her "joyless life." Speak,
ing Of this, Mr.. Butterworth said: "a 10y
less life? home. with devoted mother.
sisters, brothers. and friends If that ia
what goes to make up q Joyless life what
q joyless life must be that OF our sisters
and daughters
This remark of his gives an idea Of the
manner ia which he dissected the letter.
Again he took occasion TO criticise tina
lawyers for summoning young men ami
other ignorant witnesses to prove the
matter Of the plaintiffs age. and other
facts that might have been proved bv
her mother. her aunt, or by other natural
witnesses. Speaking OF that part OF the
letter which recounted the making OF the
contract with Rodes. Mr.. Butterwortb
said: "why. she had no more idea OF
marrying that old man than I have OF
marrying-er--er-well. the goddess OF
war"
''But there isn't any such goddess" re.
marked Mr.. Wilson In an undsrtone.

After this littls parry he went on with
the letter, and when he rot down to the
writer's expression Of affection for her

the worst elements of society. 1t was he
who perfected machine methods in the
third ward at Elmira and applied them so
successfully by the aid of efficient ieuten-
ants to all the large cities of the state. He
profited BY the downfall of Tweed and bis
flagrantly open methods and substituted
more stealthy but more debased and
brutal. The depths of political in
fanny in New York city are the natural
results of the machine methods perfected
by the ambitious youth of Elmira
and executed by his lieutenant and
almost his rival, Dick Croker.
Licensing brotbels in order to reap their ILL
gotten gains, licensing abortionists in order
to blackmail them, officially directing city
in the ways of Sodom and Gomorrah, these
are the instrumentalities to which Mr.. Hill
has devoted himself in order to attain what?
Democratic victory? No. Simply politi-
cal preferment and power for Mr.. Hill.
This may seem harsh to many who have
been compelled to admire the power, the
certain fearlessness, the brilliarcy of the
man. And there will be many who no
doubt will say, 'At least he was no hypo-
critic" We are inclined to agree with them
that Mr.. Hill is not naturally hypocrite
but we have no reason to think that he
would not conform to the cloak did he
deem it necessary or expedient. That
he did not dissemble more we are
constrained to believe was because he held
anything approaching sentiment in utter
contempt was never troubled with ideals,
and because he felt himself with his po-
litical machine under control, an autocrat.
He was too shrewd an observer of men not
to know this fall that when his minions were
beset they would expect their leader to rem
der assistance, to lead the forlorn hope if
need be, and should he refuse, would desert
Lin. 'Twere better to fight and be whipped
than that. It should never be said of him
that be dared not lead. For once he real
lied that the corrupt, conscienceless ma
chine he had constructed was capable of
crushing its maker. His au lacity had carried
him through so many vicissitudes since the
days of those aqueduct frauds that it now
impelled him toward the undertaking. And
then to win now would more than recon-
pense him for all his long struggle.
sTwould be for him glorious
victory indeed!
His machine constructed to destroy decent
government has carried down its maker in
the crash. His audacity carried the pitcht
to the we'll once too often.
1t is saying no more than the truth thst
all who wish to improve rather than de-
grade practical politics breathe easier
since the returns from New York have
been received. It's far safer to admire the
splendid abilities of Mr.. Hill when he is
under control than when he is in control.
