templates resigning, so that all his atten-
ton can be given to his campaign If he
has no opposition for the nomination how
ever, he may not resign until after that
event when he viii do so in order TO take
the field against the common enemy.
If Col. Clifton is named to iii the unex-

couple of months he will take It with the

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

senate Committee Considering Adj
visibility of Establishing Them.
Washington, Jan 26.-The Senate COM
mittee on postoffices and postroads to-day
had under consideration the advisability
of establishing a system of postal savings
banks in the United States.
The only conclusion reached was that
Senators Mason and Butler should prepare
a bill which could be used as basis for
future deliberations. This was done be-
cause of the fact that there was a large
number of measures before the commit
tee, all looking to the same end. 1t is in
tended that the bill to be prepared by
Messrs. Mason and Butler shall suppant
all these, and they were requested to have
it in shape to be taken up at the next meet
ing, to be held a week hence.
A communication was read from Post
master General Gary, making suggestions
regarding the details of the legislation
proposed. Among other provisions urged
by him was one giving the largest possible
discretion to the Postmaster General in
putting the new system into operation.
Mr.. Gary also stated that in his opinion
the tendency is to make the interest rate
TOO high.
THE downward tendency of interest
rates is unmstakable," he said. He
thought a rate too low preferable to one
too high, and suggested 2 per cent. as a
prudent and reasonable rate.
He also suggested the Importance of
providing certain postoffices or sub-treas-
uries as repositories for the postoffice
funds, because of the impracticability Of
making repayments from Washington in
case all the repositories should be located
in Washington

TRAIN WRECK AT ABBEVILLE.
Freight and Passenger Trains Col
Tide Head on.

Tide Head on.
Abbeville, Ga, Jan. ga head-end col
lision occurred near the Abbeville depot
of the Georgia and Alabama Railway at
2:4O O'Clock this morning. in which the
locomotive of the west bound through
freight and the east bound passenger
trains were badly wrecked.
The freight train was heavily loaded
and in taking a side track. to avoid the
approaching passenger train, going down a
steep grade, ran onto the main track just
in time to receive the shock of the col
lison.
The freight engine was overturned and
badly damaged, while the cowca tcher,
cylinder and steam chest of The passenger
engine were seriously damaged.
Another engine was secured al the depot
and after a delay of several hours, the
passenger train proceeded on its way
Both engines will go to the shops for re-
pairs before they can be of use again
But for the low rate of speed of the pass
enger train at the time of the coll sion
serious casualties would probably have
resulted. The engineer and fireman of
both engines escaped injury.

SAVANNAH FIRE COMMISSION.
Case Brought by the City Not Reach
ed In Supreme Court.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan 26.--The case of the
Mayor and Council against the Savannah
Fire Commission was not reached in the
Supreme Court to-day, as expected II
may come up tomorrow. All the lawyers
are here to argue the case, Mr. Adams
leading for the Mayor and Council, and
Mr.. duBignou for the Fire Commission
The fire commissioners have hopes that
the court will dismiss the case. They.
through their counsel have filed a motion
for dismissal upon the ground that the
bill of exception upon which the case was
brought up was premature, having been
presented before the lower court had made
final ruling. This motion is now before
the court, and will be passed upon before
the main question, which is upon Judge
Falligents refusal to sustain the Council
in impeachment proceedings against the
are commissioners.

stated this country now had bimetallizm.
To this Mr. Chandler took exception,
saying any definition of bimetallism which
omitted the free coinage of both me ais
at a ratio fixed by law was not only in
correct but obsolete.
Mr.. Piatt challenged Mr.. Chandler to
produce any recognized authority which
included free coinage in the definition of
bimetalism.
Mr.. Platt closed with an appeal for the
maintenance of sound financial system,
Mr.. Daniel of Virginia followed Mr..
Plat in support OF the resolution. He
said We We're confronted upon all sides
with the clamorous statements of the gold
men that agitation of the financial ques-
ton was unsettling business and de-
stroying the credit of our people. Yet,
he said, the gold men were holding con-
Ventions, the financial question was being
investigated by Congressional committees
and the President of the United States,
in his message to this Congress had ad-
vanced propositions in support of fastening
upon the country the single gold standard.
Mr.. Daniel thought the adoption of the
pending resolution would tend to prevent
raids upon the treasury and he quoted a
statement made by Secretary Sherman be-
fore a congressional committee in 1878 to
that effect, but he maintained it did not
mean that any government creditor would
be paid in a clipped coin or in a deprecia-
ted currency.
After an extended discussion of the sill
yer question as it relates to the pending
resolution, Mr.. Daniel asked Mr.. Hoar
whether he thought that 1881, 100000 of sill
yer certificates ought, as an essential to
the nations honor, be redeemed in gold
Mr.. Hoar replied that if such redemption
were necessary to maintain the parity of
gold and silver coin he would answer, yes;
but no such subtle comprehensive question
could be answered briefly.
Mr.. Daniel concluded at 7 o'clock. The
Senate then went into executive session
and ten minutes later adjourned.

WRIGHT WANTS HIS LIBERTY.
Negro Colonization Leader Asks n
Hearing of Judge LumpISin.

Hearing of Judge LumpISin.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 26-After serving
three years in Jail for contempt of court,
Berry Wright to-day petiuoned Judge
Lumpkin to be allowed to come before him
and make an appeal for liberty
Before his Incarceration, Wright stood
well among the Atlantic negroes and was
looked upon as a reliable and straightfor-
ward man.
When the emigration fever struck Geor-
gia five years ago the Atlantic negroes
organized a company, the object of which
was to transfer the members to Africa
In looking around for a leader, Wright
was chosen. He was made president and
high muck-a- muck of the whole concern.
From the outset the company was pros
porous, negroes who imagined that by
paying small monthly installments they
would soon acquire enough to charter a
ship and sail away to free rations and
no toll in Africa, readily united with the
company and met the assessments which
were required of them. Before the stock
matured some of the members grew
weary of waiting and decided they were
not so anxious to go to Liberia
as they first thought.
Upon an investigation being made into
the affairs of the organization il was dis
covered that about 81, 600 of the assets were
unaccounted for. A receiver was appoint
ed upon application of some of the men,
bers, and Frank Drakeford the treasurer,
was ordered to turn over all the assets
Drakeford said he had given Wright the
money, who denied that he had, and re-
fused to throw any light on the situation.
AS Drakeford had no right to pay the
funds in his care TO the president, he and
Berry were sent to Jail together for con-
tempt. After spending two years in pris-
on Drakefor6 was able to make a salts
factory showing and was released.
