From the time of the return of the
young men from Hillcrest the streets
began to assume a decidedly'lively
appearance. They had been crowded
before, but by noon “everything goes’’
seemed to be the motto. A cannon
' had been placed in position cn Mul

| House, and this was fired at intervals
! of about five minutes. A yell went

: o’clock the line of veterans, under

j sight to see the maimed and ba - -

! Here and there a battered and bullet- |

[ and called for cheers from the crowd.
1 It was nearly 2 o’clock when the pro-
| cession moved. There was no band
jin line, but the h *arty yells and
I cheers, first from the Veterans, then
from (lie spectators, who lined the
! sidewalks, furnished the sweetest of
i antfphonnl music. A courier was sent
j ahead to inform (’apt. Johnston of,
! the approach of the eoUimn. A heavy j
I and comfortable arm-chair had been
! placed upon the veranda, and as the
head of the procession was seen round
ing the foot of the hill, Mr. Davis,
I leaning upon the arm of (’apt. John
son, and surrounded by Mrs. Davis,
j Mrs. Hays, Miss Davis and Mrs.
Johnston appeared. Mr. Davis sat it)

j side. His appearance was the signal
f »r loud cheering, and the crowds at
in her bosom, more cheers and moj

Mr. Davis and Miss Winnie seemed
] to he the most popular of the party.
Everybody wanted to grasp the band
‘of both. One enthusiast, who could
: not get. to them, reached over the
heads of his fellows, and placed the
head of his cane in Mr. Davis’s hand.
He grasped it. and so did Miss Win
nie. As the o>vncr got it back, he
! kLsed the head lovingly, and left
!happy.
The happiest man in the lot was
! the one who escorted Mrs. Davis from
the crush into the house. While
| diluting upon his good luck he said,
| “Why it was the.biggest compliment
ever paid me. I would not have
I missed it for a million of dollars.”
i Mr. Davis stood the crush am] the
subsequent ride very well, indeed,
and don’t seem much fatigued.
Then it looked as if thecrowd.in its
mad enthusiasm, would tear Mr.
Davis from the veranda, which was
itself so crowded that it was almost
i impossible.for those upon it to move.
Realizing the necessity for action,
| Svnalor Colquitt mounted the railing,
! and aft or several attempts succeeded
jin scouring comparative quiet. Then
j he urged the crowd to he less demon
strative, calling attention to Mr.

that they “shout for him. worship
him, but for his own dear sake do not
try to shake hands with him.”

j that there were still quite a number
of paying offices in the hands of the o’d
incumbents. It is a rcrnarklmle fact
that many fourth class postoffices
which used to nay the postmasters
from $50 to $100 a quarter do not pay
the present incumbent more than one
tenth of that revenue. The reason is
that the new Democratic postmasters
charge apparently just what their bus
iness entitles them to, whereas their
Republican predecessors charged just,
as much ns they thought they could
get from the profligate Republican Ad-
t illustration.

Ray, “has very frequently to send out
an inspector to see what is the reason
for the serious falling off in postal bus
iness, as indicated by reduced salaries
earned by the new post maters. A
postmaster now at the end of the
quarter claims only $5 or $6 as the
amount due him on the business of
his office for the three months. The
hooks show that his predecessor
was in the habit of making $70 or $80
every quarter. The inspector investi
gates and finds that there has been no
apparant falling oft in business. The
office is not boycotted; fully as many
people patronize it as formerely and
they send as much mail mstter as
i they had been accumtomed to
j send.
“The explanation is that while the
Republican postmaster had only done
j $5 or $6 worth of business,he represen-
; ted that he had done ten times as much
and claimed accordingly. The depart
ment has practically had to take the

How He Cheated Garrett Out ol the ■
B & O.
Baltimoke, Md., Oct 25.—the news
this evening publishes a statement
which it says Robert Garrett made to
an intimate friend last week, giving |
the history of the negotiations that
were made tor the sale of the Balti
more and Ohio Telegraph, It is as fol
lows:
“Some time previous to the depar
ture of Mr. Garrett for Europe,a party
composed of Mr. Garrett, Jay Gouid,
Vice President King and Generel
Counsel John K. Cowen, of the Balti
more and Ohio, and a number of other
railroad and telegraph men, took a
trip up the Hudson River on board a
yacht. Before returning, Air. Gould
offered Mr. Garrett $8,00').000 for the
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph. Garret
positively refused, and said lie would
not sell for less than $10,000,000. Mr.
Gould declined to pay that figure and
the subject was dropped, and that was
the last that Garrett had to say to
Gould ebout the telegraph. Liter
Garret went to Europe, and while
there organized a s> ndicate of bankers
in Amsterdam,who agreed to buy the
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph for $10,
000,000. Jay Gould was kept constant-
posted through his repr *sentatives
and correspondents of every move
ment made l>y Gaivett. Meanwhile
Jay Gouid was in constant communi
cation with two prominent officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio, with whom
he is well acquainted, and secured
their influence and assistance. Pres
ident pro turn. Burns, having implicit
confidence in these gentlemen, g ive
his consent to the sale. The time of
Garrett’s departure from Europe was
cabled to Gould, and ho urged that
the deal bo consummated at once,
which was done while Garrett was on
the ocean and in ignorance of what
wasgoingon. Among those who em
barked with him on his return trip was
an Amsterdam hanker a member of the
syndicate, who had in his possession
a certified cheek for $3,000,000, with h
was to have been handed to Garrett
when the legal papers were drawn for
the transfer of the telegraph. The
plan embraced a powerful telegrapbio
combination, ami comprised all exist
ing cable and land lines outside of
those controled by Gould.”1
FAKMF.lt TILLMAN
And Colonel A. P. Hut lee Likely to
Come to Blows.
. Augusta Gazette.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 2.—Captain
B. It. Tillman, the leader of the polit
ical movement in tblsritate known as
“The Farmers’ Movement,” deliveml
an address to his constituents in
Barnwell on Monday, which is more
than likely to lead to bloodshed. Till
man has been firing hot shot into the
present State administration for the
past two years, claiming that the far
mers of the State are allowed no voice
in public affairs, that they are the
slaves of an oligarchy, etc. He has a
large following, composed principally
of the more ignorant class of whites.
In this Barnwell speech he charged
Colonel A. P. Butler, the Commis
sioner of Agriculture, with collecting
large amounts of public moneys and
not accounting for the disposition
thereof, and with general extrava
gance, mismanagement and incom
petency. Butler is a native of Edge-
field, a man of firey temper and un
doubted courage. Last winter he
publicly gave the lie to Tillman, who
for good reasons, did not resent the
insult. Butler has left, the city. His
friends declare that he will not brook
the charge of dishonesty made by
Tillman and saj there is sure to he
trouble. Butler, being a State ollieer,
cannot send a challenge, and it is
therefore probable that the affair will
culminate in a street duel. Captain
Tillman is also an Edgefield man and
a brother of Congressman George 13.

Washington, November 2.—The
decision of the United States Supreme
Court upon the petition fora writ of
error in the ease of the Chicago An-
afehists was announced this afternoon
by Chief Justice Waite in a long and
carefully prepared opinion which
occupied thirty-five minutes iu read
ing.
The Court holds in brief:
First. That the first ten amend
ments to the Constitution are limita
tions upon Federal and not upon State
action.
Second. That the jury law of Illi
nois is upon its face valid and consti
tutional and that it is similar in its
provisions to the statute of- Utah
which was sustained in this Court in
the case of Hopt vs the Territory of
Utah.
Third. That it does not appear on
the record that upon the evidence at
the trial the Court should have
deelared the jurors, Sanford,incompe
tent.
Fourth. That the admission of Jo
hann Most’s letter and the cross ex
amination of Spies, which counsel for
prisoners maintained virtualy com
pelled them to testify asainst them
selves, were n«t objected to in the
trial Court, and that therefore no foun
dation was laid for the exercise of this
C ourts jurisdiction.
Fifth. That the questions raised by
Gen. Butler in the cases of Spies and
Fielden upon the basis of their foreign
n itionalitv were neither raised nor de
cided in the State Court,and therefore
cannot be considered here. The writ of
error prayed for must consequently be
denied.
How alt the Officers of the Southern
Army Have Dwindled Away.
The extent to which the leaders In
the Confederacy have passed away is
only appreciated when the roll is
called, as has been done by Col. C. C.
Jones, Jr., of Augusta Ga., in a feceiit
address before the Confederate Survi
vors Association. The Constitution
of the Confederate States was signed
by forty-nine delegates, thirty-seven
of whom are dead. The President
survives, but Vice Resident Stephens
died four years ago. Of Ihe throe
who held the port-folio of State in the
Cabinet, all are dead; of five secreta-
taries of war all: of two secretaries of
the treasury one, of four attorney gen
erals, two; and the one secretary of the
navy: while the sole posmaster gen
eral, Mr. Reagan is still very much
alive as he proved bv taking the stump
for Prohibition in the recent Texas
canvass,and arguing against the decla
ration on the other side of his old
chief. Of thirteen commissioners ac
credited to represent the Confederacy
abroad,ton are dead. There were five
men who bore rank as full generals In
the army, of whom Johnston and
Beauregard alone survive; twenty-
one lieutenant generals, of whom
eleven arc dead ; 100 major generals,of
whom fifty-five are dead: 480 briga
dier-generals of whom Colonel Jones
thinks that half are dead. Each year
makes serious inroads upon the
survivors.

This is indeed a pleasing evidence
of what lias been accomplished by the
lapse of time since the surrender at
Appomattox, with the opportunities
thereby given for a calmer view of
tilings in general. To go back no far
ther than t wenty, or even but fifteen
years, we should find a state of feel
ing at the North—and nowhere more
pronounced than in the City of Broth
erly Love—which would have made
it impossible, and perhaps unsafe if
possible, for any paper in that section
to write words in praise of Robert PL
Lee, and in commendation of those
who might seek, in whatever form, to
perpetuate his memory. Surely there
can ho no better assurance of the
