* txtan m n iWMTrriT-- , , "frrfc POLITICS IK GEOISGIA. Tiic .Republicans of the State KcAdy for a wry Strouj: Fi^ht. [Leiier i>) l!w Sew'x ami four it r.] Augusta, August 11.?The Republicans in Georgia, through their cxecu uvecoinmitte, have made an emphatic declaration of war. But they* have done this several times' before, and the result has been only to make their defeat the more pronounced and overwhelming by bringing out the full force of the Democracy. It is significant of the drift of opinion among the leaders of the tattoed party that the entire electoral ticket in this State is to be composed of white men. The dusky file arc welcome as voters, but none need apply for position among the officers. This is evidently an at.tempt to capture the so-called Independent element for Blaine, but the erratic gentry who have hovered between the two parties under this unquestionable guise will be fewer this campaign than for many years past. There are no local dissensions to give them ai; excuse for bolting the Democratic ticket. Harmonv prevails in every part of the State. In the Atlanta district the only place where there was any probability of trouble, everything has been settled by the frank and manly withdrawal of Capt. Harry JacKson, leaving tlie field open for Hon. 2?. J. Hammond, the present experienced and able representative in Congress. The Republican who rnns against him will have more cheek than the average lightning rod agent, and about as much chance of snccess as thft Ben Butler electoral ticket will in Georgia. . In this' the new tenth district the Hon. Geo. T. Barnes received the unanimous nomination, and the man, be he Republican or Independent, who takes the field against him, will have even a harder time than Judge Twiggs did two years age wheu he ran against Horn Seaborn Reese, the regular Democratic nominee. Judge Twiggs is an able man, a fine speaker, brimming over with energy and perseverance, popular with the people, and yet lie found so little encouragement that he deemed it expedient to withdraw in ihe*middle of the campaign. A man of less magnetism would have about as much cHarice as a whirlwind. And yet. the Republicans have determined* to put forward candidates for Congress in every district in Georgia. As they have very little timber of their own for thai purpose, it is presumed that they intend to make victims of aspiring Indepependents wherever they can; and "there are, perhaps, enough of those gentlemen ready and willing to take two bites at "the political cherry. In the first place, there is the delusive bite .on election day, and in the second, the more substantial bite before Congress if the Republicans should happen to get possession of that body. And herein is the secret of the determination to make a fight in Geor" gia. There is not a man in the Republican party who is so bereft of his senses as to believe that any candidate of that ilk can have any hope of success in a single Congressional dis^ct in this State.

Icy. NaShviele, Tenn., Augnst 1G.?A dispatch from Centerville confirms the mni'dftr r?f tho \lnrmnne in county by masked men last Sunday ; morning. The. raiding" party nam- ' bered aboutforty. 'Thirteen attacked : the house of Martin Condor, -where a i Mormon meeting was in progress, i | Forcing the door, they were encoun- : tered by: Condor armed with a gun. In an effort to disarm him one of the raiders was struck with the gun, uu- . masking him, but he drew a pistol and 1 shot Condor in the- bowels. Condor ; was shot again by one of the party i with buckshot and instantly killed. At (he sametime another of the attack- I ing party fired upon a Mormon elder ' named Gibbs, who was partly hidden < j behind the wife of Condor," killing < Gibbs and severely wounding Mrs. Condor in the thigh. The party fired i again upon a Mormon elder named Berry, who was hiding behind a bed, : killing him instantly. Another Mor- ! mon eider in the house, who ran out bv the back door, was pursued bv the attacking party stationed outside. They fired on "him as he ran, bat it is not ' known whether or not he was killed, i After killing Berry, the masked men ' started out of the house, and just as ' they got out, J. R. Hudson- fired and ] killed Dave Hinpon, one of the masked i men. One of the Hinson party stood 1 over the body and fired two loads of ! buckshot at Hudson, literally riddling ; him. The Mormons, in fear of an! other attack, did not make a search < until Monday, when they found the i Mormon who ran away from Condor's ] dead. It is rumored that the other i missing elder has been found dead, i The Mormon eiders claim they have i been sent here direct from Ufcab to i I make converts and establish churches, i A UOKIilELE STORY. The Ore**ly Survivors Charged with CannihalJsm---The .Story Utterly DiKicdilt'l in Washington. Washington, August 12.-The minor which was afloat here last week that the records of the Navy Department showed that the rescued members of Lieutenant Greely's party had partially sustained life upon the flesh of their dead comrades was at the time emphatically denied by Rear Admiral Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy. A circumstantial account of this alleir ed cannibalism, published in the New York Times this morning', was shown to Admiral Nichols to-day, and his comment was that there are no records at the Navy Department which would give a shadow of foundation for such a story. He added that he did not believe there was any truth in it. Secretary Chandler has been absent from the city for several weeks, but has, of course, been constantly in communication with the department, and a great many important official documents have been sent to him, so that Admiral Nichols's statement that there are no documents bearing upon the matter at the department is not necessarily conclusive as to their non-existence. The story is, however, wholly discredited at the Navy Department, while at the same time army and navy officers concede the possibility that the facts may be as stated. Commodore Walker, Chief of the .Bureau or navigation, was 01 tne aecided opinion ?hat the whole story was made out of the whole cloth. The dispatch of Commander Schley that it was imperative to place the bodies in metallic caskets he explained as follows : Commander Schley was anxious to bring the bodies bacK in as good a state of preservation as possible. They were kept in alcohol until they reached St. Johns. Such a method of transportation was only proper as long as necessary. In these tanks of alcohol the bodies would be knocked about by the motion of the vessels at sea and would be damaged. Hence it was necessary to place them in metallic caskets at the earliest opportunity. "Besides that," he said, "that bodies which, were frozen when found would, yon know, decompose rapidly as soon as they reached a warmer climate, and it wa&advisable to care for them before decomposition should take place." Henry Shot for Stealing: Provisions. Boston, August 13.?A special dispatch from Portsmouth, N. H., says: Early this morning Col. Kent obtained an interview with Lieut. G reel v. who admits that Private Heury bad been executed ou the 6th of June. As early as March it was suspected that Henrywas stealing the limited food wbich was apportioned out to the survivors for their sustenance, and this fact being finally and positively ascertained Lieut. Grcelv ?had thereafter hard work to protect the man's life. It became necessary, in order to keep, up the discipline to inform Henry that he would be shot if the practice continued, and that a similar fate would be meted out to any other member of the party who should be detected in a like ciime.. If Henry had been permitted to coutinue his stealings uumolested the balance of the party would have surely been starved to death and Henry alone' survived. After and in spite of these warnings Heury was again detected stealing provisions, among the food taken being two ponnds of bacon, the eating of so much of which made him sifik. A search wa? then insHfnt ed when it was found that Heury had, among other, things stolen and secreted a pair of sealskin boots, which had belonged to the hunter of the party. Lieut. Greely was therefore forced " in order to maintain military discipline, and to protect the lives of his other comrades to issue a written order that Henry be shot, which order was carried into effect on June 6th. As to the alleged cannibalism, Lieut. Greely says that if there was anything of the kind it jnust have been an individual act-atfd not general. Nothing of the kind, however, came under Lieut. Greclv's personal observation. Sergeant Brainard, who is in the hospital at the navy yard, confirms Lieut. Greely's statements. More than a week ago Lieut. Greely forwarded to the Secretary of War a detailed report ofHenrv's execution. Upon proper representations to Secretary Lincoln a conrt of inquiry will undoubtedly be ordered. More of the Alleged Cannibalism. The statement that the Greely partyfed on (he flesh of their dead comrades has elicited widespread comment. A.t first it was geuerallv disbelieved, but is now thought to he quite true. In the case of Henry, it seems he was not shot to be eaten, but after he was A i.~/l X* ? a] ..MA .1 mm i.~ J eiecuieu wr meit, us aueuuy suuuuj the flesh was cut from his dead body. It is also clear that the flesh of Lieutenant Kilsingbury was eaten by some of the party. Of the bodies of the dead, five have not been found, and it is suspected* by many that these were likewise eaten?whether the men were killed for the purpose, being-, of course unknown. Lieutenant Greely expresses entire ignorance of anything like cannibalism, and says it must have happened, if at all, when he was ill, or so much dazed by the perils surrounding him, that he was ignorant of what took place. The entire matter will undergo official investigation, and iH this way the whole truth will be brought to light. CLEVELAND WILL STICK. A. Denial of the Ridiculous Story of his Intended Withdrawal. . New York, August 14.--Senator Gorman, of Maryland, the Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee; General B. B. Smallev, of Vermont, Senator Jones, of Louisiana, and H. G. Thompson, of this city, had a lengthy, conference at the headquarters, No. 11 West twenty-fourth street, this afternoon. A reporter of the Express interviewed all four concerning the rumor that Gov. Cleveland, recognizing that he cannot be elected by any possibility now that Butler is in the field, contemplates withdrawing from the ticket. "The story is simply ridiculous" remarked Senator Gormrn, "so ridiculous that I do not care to talk of it. Mr. Cleveland's chance is too full of promise to warrant auv such nonsensical rumor." Senator Jones said: "Governor Cleveland's withdrawal at this time t r i i x.~ v- ; i wuuiu ue equivalent to uio resigning of the Presidency, which any careful observer knows is within his grasp." Commissioner Thompson said: "Life is too short to notice any such rumors." General Smalley simply indulged in in amused smile when his opinion was sought. The Cotton Supply. New York, August 16.?The total visible supply of cotton for the world is 1,692,810 bales, of which 954,610 bales are American, against 1,855,142 bales and 1,855,142 bates respectively last year.

Bar Harbor, Me., August 14- Colouel Hollowly: I have this moment received the atrocious libel of the Iudianapolis Sentinel. It is utterly and abominably false in every statement and in every implication: Political slanders I do not stop to notice, but this editor assails the honor-of my wife and my children. I desire you, without an hour's delay, to employ a proper attorney and have the responsible publisher of the Sentinel sued for libel in the United Slates District Court of Indianapolis. It is my only remedy. I am sure that honorable Democrats, alike with honorable Republicans, will justify me in defending the honor of ray family, if need be, with my life. James G. Blaixe.

Washington, August 16.?Postmaster Robinson, colored, of Bamberg, S. C., has sent to the postoffice department a statement, giving the reasons why he recently; closed his office and: left town. He says on Sunday night, August 10, a body'of ten or tweive men went to his home, abont three and a half miles from Bamberg, and- shot through bis doors and windows. Kobinson began crying "murder" when he was told that, if be did not cease, he should die instantly. Continuing his report, he says: f'One of them said, if I would resign the office at Bambergwithin-thirty -aaysand sign a petition in favor of Mrs. Yarn, the widow of the late postmaster, 1 would have that chance. If not, I would be killed at once. I was well near frightened to death, and accepted the proposition. They finally concluded, thai I shoald not return to the office, and if I dared to come they would kin me without a donbt. I felt.very certain if I went to my office on that'dav I worilcLbe kill* . edJr Postoffice-Inspeotor Simpson, who investigated the trouble* says: "The moving cause of the whole trouble is that another party, desires the "office, andhis friends.took tSis course to get the present incumbent; onL I do not think it has any political significance whatever. I learned from.Postmaster Robinson that trouble had existed for some time between him and Fred Nix, another colored postmaster at Blackville, ST C., on account of the chairmanship of the. Republican county commiuce, oolq 01 mem Deing aspirants for the position. I also fonnd that Postmaster Nix was particularly friendly to the brother of the late deceased postmaster at Bamberge, and that he desired his appointment to the place now occupied by Robinson, all of which has something to do with the attack on Robinson." Simpson farther says, that a major- ] ity of the people seem to desire Robinson to remain as postmasterT and the inspector recommends that no change be made at present. On the recommendation of the postoffice Inspector, Robinson concluded to appoint a white man as his assistant, and named J. P. Murphy, a merchant of that place. BUTLER 12? THE BAY STATE. Talk About His Object and the Size of HI* Vote.' Boston, August 16.?The general impression here that the Bntler Presidential candidacy is principally direct ed to helping the. iilaine ana Logan ticket is receiving confirmation by many significant facts. Butler has about hrm a few personal friends who will do his work and figure as Butler men. He has other clo?e friends, however, who are coming out openly for Blaiue aud declaring that they do not care to throw their votes awav on a third candidate. A few Bo tier Democrats have also been brought into the Blaine camp on the high protective issue, but they are more-'noisy than numerous. Nearly all these people could be held for Butler if he cared to hold them. A politician who consulted some Butler workers to-day abont a Blaine and Logan Club was told that his club was right and he chould .go . ahead with it,' but that I Cleveland men should either be brought | into the club or turned over to Butler, i Major McDavitt, one of Butler's oldtime organizers; says that the natural tendency of the Butler campaign will be to help Blaine, but that its real pur pose is to give tne wursmg pcupie a rallying point for tire formation of a new party., ^' intelligent estimate can yet-be; formed-of the1 size of the J&ftler vote in this State. Nearly every Democrat of even local prominence ba&cOmmiftedlrimseTf to Cleveland* yet-it is feared by-some who take the gloomiest view of the sitoaticm that the mas6'0f th'S voters may brealc away from their leaders and plnmp 40,000. or 60,000 vote? for Butler. The Democratic- ?fiief^::persist in their , declaration that- Bntler will be surprised at the smallneis* of his vote, and that it wiH not exceed 15,000. If. I this is Butlers vote it will "be drawn as much from Blaine as Cleveland. A..A AMA nArtfriiiAA fllAlYt i J?W l>cu[Jio ai? aui? iv buuuuvfv wvui! selves that Bntler will not get a larger vote and perhaps seriously break into the Cleveland ranks* Th&Bntler Sta'tfc committee is to be formed soon. Little has been done on it so far. * CLEVEEAXD VINDICATED. Action of Independent Republicans on the Published Scandals. The report of the committee of Independent Republicans of Buffalo relative to the published scandal on Governor i Cleveland, has been furnished to the press. We cull from the ^papw the following pertinent extracts: The general charges of drunkenness and gross immorality which are made against Governor Cleveland are absolutely false, His-reputation for mor alitv has always been gdfcd. There is no foundation for any statement to the contrary. He was sought out and ! nominated for the mayoralty against j ills will, and was supported for that position by the larger portion ot the j educated, "intelligent and moral citizens of Buffalo without regard to politics, and on purely personal grounds- After he had gone through this contest he was again put forward as one of the most distinguished citij zens of Buffalo as a- candidate for the ' Governorship, and again received the support of the same class of his feJlowcitizens. In this, -community, where he had lived tor twenty-nine years, and where his life was knowii' and his character well understood, this support would not have teen giyck bm.haa he been either & drunkard or libertine. We are able to speak from . personal | knowledge &i his acquaintances of long I Istandings his general! * t II11LL HIIIWlftWB private life has been that of a quiet, orderly, seif-rcspectiiur, and always highly respected citizen. * * The charge that he has recently taken part in a drunken and licentious debauch in Buffalo on the occasion of such a visit is entirely laise. - - >> c nave ueeu particularly careful and thorough in our investigations of the alleged betrayal, abduction, and inhuman treatment of a woman of this city, as detailed in a local newspaper. The circumstances out of which this story was fabricated occurred eight years ago. The woman in qaestion was at that time a widow, between thirty and forty years of age, with two children, the younger of whom was ten years old. The facts of the case show that mi/-? f Ho f flip OUU IIVU UIIU wstw I?*v allegations respecting her" abduction and ill-treatment are wholly false. We dcein these the only features of the charge in connection with this matter which constitute a public question requiring any declaration on our part. Our examination o? the other charges which have been made against Governor Cleveland's private character shows that they are wholly untrue. In every instance'in which the reports and insinuations have been tangible euough to furnish a clue to guide us in our investigation they have been positively proved to be false. OLD POI>*r COMPORT. Its Historic Interest-Its Beauties and Popularity as a Pleasure Kesort. Old Point Comfort, Va.? Aug. 11. ?This spot around whicli cluster so many historic recollections is situated about fifteen miles above Norfolk,,, Where the waters of the James and the Elizabeth rivers meet to flow into Chesapeake Bay, .forming1 what is familiarly known as Hampton Koads. It was here that McClellan landed his immense army in the spring of 1SG2, with which he was to speedily reduce Richmond, the capitol of Hie Confederacy, and thus terminate the war between the States. A few hundred yards from this place occurred the celebrated naval duel between the Confederate iron-clad Virginia and the United States ram Monitor. Here also the Confederate peace commissioners, of which the late Alexander Stephens was chairman, met by ap pointment President Lincoln and Secretary: Seward?a conference which which only raised false hopes in the breasts of "a "despairing people. And, here also was imprisoned President Davis?the casemate in which he was confined being easily found by visitors. Fortress Monroe, said to be the largest fort in the world, is just one hundred yards from the hotel, and affords a fine promenade at all hours?the principal feature of the day being the dress parades, which take place at seven o'clock, daily. There is an artillery school here for the benefit of the lieutenants, who graduate from West Point. After serving awhile in the army they are ordered here for a two years' course lit artillery practice. The firing takes place from two to six o'clock every afternoon at targets placed at from two to three miles distance in the water, as a spectator can watch the shot or shell from the time it leaves the "cannon's mouth until it reaches its destination. The shooting is quite interesting. The fort was never in the hands of the Confederate forces. Had Virginia seceded sooner it would have been ours without any trouble. A party of men had everything in readiness to seize the fortress, having an understanding with the officers in command, who at the time were mostly Southern men, who had agreed to deliver up the fort upon demand; and this important position, the key to "Washington, would have passed into our hands without the t shedding of a drop of blood, but GovI arnor Letcher, of this State, refused his sanction, aud the scheme fell throngh. I have just spent a morning at Hampton, a picturesque town about two miles from this place. The principal objects of interest found here are the celebrated school for Indians and negroes. The buildings are fine speci a _ _a J A-tl - mens 01 arcniteciure, auu are inn 01 i pupils. This being vacation I did not j have au opportunity of visiting the class-room6, but the work-shops, printing office, etc., presented quite an active app<mrance?the work all being done by -Jndiaii and negro boys and girls. iThie Indians appear quite subdued, and one n-ould scarcely recognize them as being the descendants of the noble red man of the forest, who scorned labor. After leaving the school grounds, I entered the gates of the National Cemetery. This is a beautiful spot and kept in perfect. order. The long rows of marble slabs, with only the name of him who is laid to rest beneath4 and the State from which lie came, is all that is left to tell of those who were once the invaders of our soil.'' Afler looking for some time my eyes grew weary and was about to retrace, my steps'to more pleasant scenes when ' I noticed in "the most obscure portion of the cemetary slabs that from a distance looked larger than those bv which I was surrounded. Through curiosity I stroljed in that direction, and upon reaching the rear or part farthest from the entrance i?rt*re in 1V/UIJU T Vi IV o VI V/sJ IMUVil J became more interested than any I bad yet explored. These slabs, upon close examination, proved to be wood instead of mar We. Although a'great many of the names were nearly obliterated-, still they bore the names of those who wore the grey?those who laid down their lives-to defend their country's honor. I fonnd that the Sixth South Carolina was represented hero by ? Teaguc, of Company I, who is "buried in this plot. In a few more years these wooden slabs will decay and nothing will be left to give the names of those who lie buried afar from kindred and from home Leaving this spot filled with sad reflections, I next went to the Soldiers' Home. This is a magnificent pile of buildings, the largest of which contain the sleenin<r nnartmentsof the inmates. of which the guide Informed me there are present over sixteen hundred. They have billiard rooms, reading rooms, a theatre, in short, everything that can contribute to then* comfort and amusement. While here the bugle sounded for cHtiiter, and as these old soldiers filed into the dining hall, I took my stand near the door to witnesi the procession. And what a procession?the halt, the maincd, the blind, the lame were represented here in every possible way. And the long grey- beards that cover most of their faces reminds us that the war has been over for nearly twenty years aM /*Knroh of Womnfnn ic rvrnnf ed out to all visitors as one of the oldest in tbi3 country.

"When General Magrader's forces evacuated the town this edifice wa3 set on fire," bnt fortunately the fames were extinguished before they had done much harm. General Mahone, Governor Cameron, the editor of the Richmond Whig, and several other prominent readjustee have been staying at this hotel for the past week, and by their numerous conferences-have no doubt the map of the csmpaigii^wni be fuily'studied ere thcpleaw:- Mahone isa peculiar lookingihdmd^r-?t]d wo^Id attract at - m'j j'f jiumilm nil..-. iii ii tendon in any crowd?with iong white hair, ruffled cuffs and frilled collar; with :i broad brimmed Panama hat pulled down over his eyes, he forms a figure not easily forgotten.

KIDNEY TROUBLE For over six years I have been a terrible sufferer frem a troublesome kidney complaint, for the relief of which I have spent over $250 without benefit; the most noted so-called remedies proving failures.
