GOrdon's Retirement.

The Atlanta Constitution surmises that
General John q. Gordon has declined re-
election TO the United States Senate In
order TO give his whole time to the bust
ness Of lecturlng, In which he has been
very successful. II so, General Gordon
puts no faith IN the naturalization OF
the suggestion that he or some other pro-
mlnent southerner may have the second
place on the Democratic national ticket
next year. The men who have been
most prominently mentioned in this con-
nectlon are General Gordon. Mr.. Crisp.
Fitz Lee, and Mr.. W. l.. Wilson.
Now we suppose there will be great
contest between Mr. Crisp and Mr. Hoke
Smith for General Gordon's seat The
former is a free-silver advocate and the
latter a sound-money man. after the ad-
mlnstratIon type. However there may
be other candidates. Mr.. Walsh served
the State so successfully during his brief
period in the Senate, we should not wonder
IL he were to come 10 the front again
Or it may be that Evan L. Howell or
Clark Howell will loom up formidably
for the position. Any one Of these three
would be a good representative of the
free-sllver view. and would take plea
sure In winning victory over Hoke
Smith.
The retirement OF General Gordon will
be regretted by southerners generally
Every old Confederate feels a personal
interest in his career, and he has shown
so much sagacity in his senatorial sur
roundlngs. he must be a valuable repre-
sentative of the interests of his State.
Gordon won great distinction az mill
tary commander. and has risen to very
high rank IN politics, and so we should
not wonder ef he now espoused Dame
Fortune with equal success and gathered
up enough of riches to make his old age
very comfortable.
General Gordons letter. in full, is as
follows:
ITO my personal and political friends
In Georgia. The many Inquiries made OF
me as TO my candidacy for the Senate
at the next election would seem TO JUS
tify some public announcement Of my
purpose.
For more than a year past my deter
mination to retire from official life at
the close of my present term Of service
has been known TO many personal friends,
and the statement that | shall not be a
candidate for reelection seems now due
to all who may feel an interest IN the
subject.
Il shall return 70 private life with no.
thing but good will for all my country
mentor those from whose opinions and
policies l have felt IT my duty to dissent.
as well as for the devoted friends, who.
In all contests, have been earnest and
constant advocates.
II shall retire with profoundest graft
tude to that generous people who have
40 long trusted me. and who have de-
MED me no honors within their gift.
I'm resuming the station OF private
citizen I shall feel the deepest interest In
the political and material welfare of
our State and in all efforts TO promote
the prosperity and unity of the whole
country. J. h. GORDON.

Depeyv and Other Orators.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, who is the ablest
and brightest of all the innumerable band
of Americans whose lives are spent In
laboring to get newspaper notices, says
that he has no presidential bee buzzing
about his ears. lie declares that Nor
ton is his choice for the Republican nomi-
nation, and that this he means TO stick

Mr.. Depew is expecting to 20 to Duluth
this week TO make speech. and from
there he will make what the theatrical

versity In Nashville on June 18th. Re-
ferring to these speeches Mr.. Depew said

Thermometers. like doctors, differ
Sometimes this is because the instruments
are badly constructed; sometimes be-
cause they are improperly exposed. But
ii is easier TO buy standard thermome-
ter than TO find out how to expose II
and arrange therefor.
Knowing this and having noticed how
greatly the readings of standard Their
mometers varied when taken at different
places in the city during the late torrid
spell, the Dispatch wrote TO Mark W.
Harrington, Chief of the Weather Blu
reau of the United States, asking how one
may get the same results from a Their
mometer that weather observer does.
To begin. Mr. Harrington says, the
thermometer should be placed inside of
wooden box, from two to three feet
cube, the roof of which is made double
and the sides OF which are inclined Stats,
arranged In the same manner as the fix.
ed louvres Of an ordinary shutter. II
this box, containing the thermometer.
be exposed In an open space, where the
air is perfectly free to pass through and
under the box and around 1t in every
way, the thermometer within will give
very nearly the real temperature of the
free masses Of air in that vicinity.
The Weather Bureau temperatures are.
as nearly as possible. the actual tempe
natures Of the air itself, and may be OBJ
tained in the manner indicated.
The thermometer-box or shelter in gene
ral is placed or 10 feet above the roof
of the office building. The air at this
elevated point may often have a slightly
lower temperature than within few
feet OF the pavement or street. but this
difference will generally be quite small.
especially II the wind Is blowing a little
so as to cause the air TO be more or
less thoroughly mixed.
You see, therefore, that in order to get
the same temperature as weather OBJ
server you must place the thermometer
in air that may be perfectly free to move
with whatever circulation may exist at
the time, and the thermometer must be
screened from direct sunshine or heat
reflected from adjacent objects.

Bishop Doane has an ally In the

which has formally resolved that the
bicycle woman and the mannish woman
are productive OF "much harm and M

The qualification calling for political
recognition Of woman is a sort OF fly

whether the Bishop would accept or not.

The 9th Of June Is an ever-memorial

(for the DiSpdtch.)
The object OF this gathering il very
far removed from fanaticism and every
thing sensational AS we are assured
by those who know. the purpose OF the
speakers. who are distinguished for the
purity of their lives. will be TO impart
a knowledge OF the most important truth,
that much higher and holier life is
attainablo than that In which q large
proportion OF protesting Christians are
content to live; that the power OF the
Holy Ghost has not waned. but Is as
powerful In our generation as It was in
the days OF the Apostles. and is within
the reach OF all who will claim II and
seek Him with their whole hearts.
IL will be their aim especially so to
present these matters that they may be
grasped by common intellects and reach
their hearts.

and the expense in providing speakers

else Is borne by private parties. who

rhe GoId-Brfck Man.

Smith alias Parker, "the gold-brick
man." who ought TO be In jail. II not IN
the penitentiary. has been bailed and is
now at large. and is. no doubt, beyond the
limits OF this State. II he ever presents
himself here for trial the public VIII be
yastly surprised. He has put up hin
$1,000. and no doubt considers that he
has paid his way out" The amount OF
his baiI-bond Is 1000 more than his mono
metallic business transaction with MT
Withers, OF Gloucester, netted him and
his mariner. who has never been ar
rested.
Judge Hughes required no ball OF the
prisoner because he was already under
5000 ball In the State courts; said ball
having been allowed by Judge Christian,
Of Charles City county. after 1t had been
refused by other Judges.
IL. as we must suppose until higher
authority rules otherwise, Judge Chris
tan had the right under our law TO bail
Parker, that law ought to be changed.
or. II our State Constitution Is the
source of authority therefor, that por-
ton of the Constitution ought to be
amended.
Public opinion was stoutly opposed TO
the bailing OF Parker-the people believing
that Judge wlckham. of the Henrico
County Court, an able and upright
Judge, knew what he was doing when
he declined to grant the prisoner bail.
Some Of the best lawyers in Virginia
are OF the opinion that after the refusal
Of Judge Wickham to grant bail ball could
not be lawfully granted except by our Su-
preme Court: but others hold that the
prisoner had a right to a writ from any
Judge who chose to issue IT, IL this
latter be law 1t is not such law as the
public judgment approves. and the sooner
Il is changed the better.
There have been a number Of disagree
able features about the gold-brick case,
and we doubt not that these will be fire.
quently referred to at the next legisla-
tive session, when a determined effort will
be made 20 revise Nirginias crimi-
nal laws so that they shall not afford
criminals so many chances OF escape from
justice.
Yes: the law as to granting bail to
persons charged with felonies ought to be
carefully revised. So ought that one
which permits persons charged with capt.
tai offences to appeal from a county court
to circuit court. and from circuit
court to the Supreme Court.

Another indication o. the mixed condi-

fusion" meeting at Raleigh. y. g., the
other day. for the discussion Of free sill
yer and the election Of delegates to the
Memphis silver convention. The speakers
al the meeting were Democratic. Popu-
listlc, and otherwise; and the delcga-
ton chosen is likewise variegated. We
had supposed North Carolina sufficiently
amused with fusion, Of whatever kind.
but certainly this is to be sald-that the
truth at the bottom Of the money quos-
ton Is only TO be reached by means OF
discussion, and all new light on the sub
feet should be welcomed.
