Those vast reource need develop- ment. This can only be done by .inviting Northern capital and foreign immigration, lint we can secure neither so long as the sec- tional hatreds of the North depict the South as the abode of lawlessness, which renders apiial insecure and an unfit home for the i.ea-fu- l immigrants from fciirope. Jow that the two sections have been reconciled th will fxl the flush and force of a rtrong and vigorous flood strengthening her new life and ride in triumph upon tne bitter waters that have so long surged around her in her weakness and her woe. If the has been the ere a test sufferer by war, and the depressing and injurious remits of sectional prejudices, there is some compen- sation in the reflection that she will be the ereatest gainer by the blessings of peace. Northern capital is now pouring into the South seeking investment, and as ousmesa in- tercourse between the North and South increases the social relations between the two sections will become correspondingly more cordial, kind and affectionate. The people of both sections, as in all free governments, will hereafter, as heretofore, exercise the right of free thought in matters of public policy. But the Southern man who, by any violence of act or expression, docs anything to sever the link and ligaments that bind the two sections together commits a crime against the South. The country ia once more united. The bloody chaaai has at last been bridged. The great wall that separated the North and South has crumbled in ruins, and evejy brick of that wall must be thrown into the sea of oblivion. Huge walls and fortifi- cation were erected for the protection- of Sparta, but it waa afterward decreed that if these walls and fortifications were erected to protect the people, the interest of peace, which regarded them as a standing menance, required their destruction. may have had something to do with the crea- tion of the sectional line between the North and the Rjuth, bat the iuteresU of peace and the prosperity of the country require an obliteration of the line forever. KCLIUtOl S QfJARSELH. It is said that Hades hath no fury like a woman scorned, and it may be said with equal truth that the same infernal region hath no fury equal to a religions quarrel. When two denominations commence squab- bling, awful and terribly sublime is the con- flict, liut when a church i severed by jar- ring factions the Big-endi- and the Little-vndiat- w become ao venomous that if they were chopped up each particle would crawl into the coutest like so many hissing rattle- snakes. The scenes now being enacted at Sau Francisco and Chicago demonstrate the tiercene.-- a of factious feud in religious de- nomination. A few day since an excel- lent lady vii tried in San Francisco and convicted of heresy. She had built up a Sunday-schoo- l of several hundred pupils from a little nucleus of about twenty. There was no doubt that she was doing good work; there was certainly no question about the fact that the children were better with her than they were boiore her coming. But she was not orthodox enough, and so was ar- raigned, tried and convicted of heresy. The issue was about as grave and iniortant as that which induced the Lilliputians to go to war to decide whether eggs should be broken on th big end or the little end. But still the church was severed, aud the factions are pelting each other with brick-ba- t epilhcU. A Methodist church in Chicago has been rent in twain on account of the Thomas im- broglio. The facts show that Mr. Thomas is a Kod man, a pious Christian, aud a useful tuiuistcr, but he was arraigned, tried and louvteted of heresy, and the faction are frantically screaming at each other like so many raving maniacs. In regard to this quarrel the ArrEAL haa already expressed the opinion that Mr. Thomas is wholly, en- tirely aud radically wrong, for there is noth- ing more sacredthan loyalty to country, party and sect. In the family circle, at school, in business, in the church, in society, and in the nation, loyalty to established iisnge ia compelled and ,i supreme. It is as important in a religious organiaation as in an army of invasiou. A religious denomination that tolerates among its mem-Wr- s, aud especially among its preachers, independence of action violative of it creed, is lost. Diatf gard of order ia as fatal in a religious as it i in a military campaign, and it is a devoid of sense to talk about perse- cution when heretics are arraigned, a it is to deprecate discipline and authority in an army. The Appeal ha already discussed this matter, and the following extract from the New York Timn so accords with what e have said that we republish it: "Like uiosl men in hi position, Mr. Thomas thick that he ia a persecuted man. The facts in the case do not justify this opinion. He voluntarily joined a society the objf-c- t of which is to teach certain doctrines, and be- came a trusted officer of that society. Havi- ng" decided in his own mind that these doc- trines were untrue, it was his obvious duty to withdraw from the society. To continue to occupy his position of trmt and at the same time to teach doctrines which the so- ciety was organized to combat was clearly not permissible, unless the society desired to commit suicide. If a man joins a temper- ance society and is hired to deliver temper- ance lecturej, he has no right to deliver lec- ture affirming that temperance is all wrong. Should ho be guilty of such conduct, the temperance society would deserve no respect if it did not expel him, aud iu that case he could not claim that he was the victim of persecution. Mr. Thomas may be all right in his theological views, and the .Methodist denomination may be all wrong, but as a Methodist minister he is bound not to attack the doctrines of the Methodist denomination, and if he does attack them he cannot call himself a persecuted man if he is turned out of the Methodist pulpit." The Appeal did not commence this article with the view of discussing at length the issues involved in these church quarrels, but to deprecate fie bitterness which religious quarrels al- ways engender. Men that subscribe to the gospel of peace and forgiveness, will, iu de- nominational feuds about the "stan- dards," become fiends in hate and malignity. Rough men will fight and forgive each other. Politicians can war upon each other and still be friends. Even among savages an implacable hatred and malignity are rare. But let there once be dissension among churchmen, and the bitter ness and malice seems to be remorseless. We can understand how men can fall as mar tyrs in defense of their imperiled faith. But it is strange that wrangling in their own church about denominational issues should convert Christiana into fiends. Dr. Harrison Wagner, described by the Baltimore Aides as "a professional litigant," has just recovered from two thousand citizens of Frederick, Maryland, sums ranging from fifty to seventy-fiv- e dollars each. In 1871) the fellow, who was considered crazy, en- tered suit against the parties from whom he has just recovered, claiming damages. No at- tention was paid to him or the suits, the par- ties failed to appear, and judgment was given by default. The time elapsed under which an appeal could be taken to a higher court, and the judgments were affirmed, placed in the hands of an officer and col- lected. In fact, the judgments amounted to a lien on the property of defendants, and there was no difficulty in the collection. The parties are wild with rage at the swindle, but have no recourse at law, aud only the poor satisfaction of knowing enough not to be caught the same way a second time. There was no ground whatever for the suit", hence, the seeming carelessness. A fellow tried a similar game ia Arkansas some years ago. He sued half the people of Little Eock for the lots they lived on, together with all and singular the improvements, etc. A few of the defendants answered the suit against them by taking the adventurer out between the Statehouse and the river, hitch- ing him np to a tree and "firing it into him" with a cowhide to the extent of about a hun dred lashes. The suits were withdrawn the next day at the cost of the plaintiff. Cul- tured folks would call this rough, but it was a quick way of getting rid of a litigious dead-bea- t. From the Hot Springs Slar we learn that Colonel James A. McKenzie, member of Con gress for the Second Kentucky District, who was threatened with partial paralysis of the eyea was almost completely restored by the use of the waters at the Independent bath house, under the superintendence of Mr. McKeogh, so well known in Memphis. Ir Franklin was die physician in charge of the case. Colonel McKenzie is so far restored that he can read and write and conduct his own correspondence without suffering the least discomfort or inconvenience. His dis ease was partial paralysis of the optic nerve, H s cure may almost be ranked as a miracle. Certainly it is one of the most wonderful on record. Let other sufferers take comfort. Nature has planted among the wild and rugged mountains of the Ozark range waters, heated and chemically charged in her own laboratory, whose restorative and health-gi- v ing properties make them a very Fountain of Youth. The celebration of 4he flow of ths waters of Gunpowder river into Baltimore is to be made a grand and brilliant affair. Besides the civic and military pageant of the first day and an illumination and display of fire works, there will on the second day be a parade of the Baltimore Orioles, something after the manner of our Mardi Gras pageauts. Mr. DeLeonof Mobile, who has charge of this feature of the celebration, is a gentleman of the highest capacity for his task, and may be relied upon by the Baltimorcans to make it a success. The committee having the matter in charge, whilst they guard the se cret of the mystic portion as to the subject or theme in order to excite curiosity, assure the public that it will be entirely original, never before given or produced; that the costumes will be rich, appropriate and accurate, and that the effect of the combined tableaux will lie both amusing and instructive to the old as well as the young. Tm cry for civil-servic- e reform goes up from all parts of the country and from all sort of men Democrats as well as Republ- ican. The shortest and one of the best argu ments for it that we have yet met with was furnished by Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, in his superb speech of last Mon day touching the death of Garfield. He said; "A million of needy or ambitious meU beseige the President for the hundred thou sand places in his gift. In a change is a perpetual opportunity to retrieve a failure, and murder forever lurks in this concentra- tion and distribution of patronage, hot the President be the constitutional ruler of the Republic and the civil-servic- e placed upon a business basis." From every part of the country, New York especially, there comes complaint of the long, hot summer, which, though we are now in the tenth dav of the astronomical autumn, the heat continues to register among the nineties. The summer began early and is continuing late. It will long be remembered for the extraordinary drouth which prevailed from the solstice to the equinox, and which has not even yet Ix-e- broken by the rain-storm- s which are always expected nt this season, but which, like many. of the other incidents of autumn, have been unaccountably delayed. Some unusual meteorological disturbance has no doubt in- terfered with the natural distribution of the rainfall. The New York HVM gives the Demo crats of the country the gratifying informa- tion that only seven out ot the 11") letuu- - cratic papers in the Stale favor the admis sion of the representatives of Tammany Hall in the Slate Convention soon to be held. The delegates to the convention, in obedience to this expression of the view of the people, should not permit the Tam-manyit- to enter or participate in iis pro ceedings. Defeat is preferable to dishonor. and the Democrat of the Empire State will be dishonored if they allow Kelly to boss them and dictate to them. It should never be forgotten that it is to him we owe the de- feat of Hancock.

Official Report of the Surgeons Who Performed the Autopsy Upon the Remains of the Late Presi- dent Garfield. Jumble or Technical Terms from Which the General Reader Will l.earu Little Withont the Aid of a Lexicon. Philadelphia, October 1. The October issue of the dnimcaa Journal of Medicine contains the following official report of the autopsy of President Garfield, prepared by the surgeons in charge: UIBciHl Record. A examination of the boay of President J. A. Garfield, made September 20, 1S81, commencing at 4:30 p.ni., eighteen hours death, at Francklyn Cottage, Elberon. New Jersey; present and assisting, Dr. D. W. Bliss, sur- geon; General J. K. Barnes, U. S. A.; Surgeon J. J. Woodward, U. S. A.; Dr. Rob- ert Keyburn. Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, Dr. D. Hayes Agnew, Dr. Andrew 11. Smith, of El- beron and New York; and Acting Assistant-Surgeo- n D. 8. Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum, Washington. Before commencing the examiuatiou, a consultation was held by those physicians in a room adjoining that in which the body lay, and it was unanimously agreed that the dis- section should be made by Dr. Lamb, and that Surgeon Woodward should record the observations made. It was farther unanimously agreed that the cranium should not be opened. Surgeon Woodward then proposed that the examination should be conducted a fol- lows : That the body should be viewed externally, and any morbid appearances existing re- corded. That a catheter should then be pressed into the wound, aa was done during ale to wash it out, for the purpose of finding the position of the bullet. That a long incision should next be made from the superior extremity ot the sternum to the pubis, and this crossed by a trans verse one just below the umbilicus. That the abdominal flaps thus made should then be turned back and the abdominal viscera examined. That after the cavity was opened, the po- sition ef the bullet should be ascertained if possible before making any further incision, and Tli at finally the thoracic viscera should be examined. Tbls OnlerofPrteedon was unanimously agreed to. The examina- tion was then proceeded with, and the fol- lowing external appearances were observed : The body was considerably emaciated, but the face was much less wasted than the limbs. A preservative fluid had been iujected by embaltncr a ifew hours before into the left femoral artery. The pipes used for the pur- pose were still iu position. The interior surface of the body presented no abnormal appearances, aud there was no ecchymosis or other discoloration of any part of the front of the abdomen. Just below the right ear and a little be- hind it there was an oval ulcerated opening about an inch in diameter, from which some sanious pus was escaping, but no tumefac- tion could be observed in the parotid region. A considerable number of pupura-lik- e spots were scattered over the left scapula and thence forward a far aa the axilla. They ranged from one-eigh- to h of an iuch in diameter, were Blightly ele- vated and furfuraceous on the surface, and many of them were confluent in group of two to four or more. A similar but much less abundant erup tion was observed sparsely scattered over the corresponding region on the right aide. An oval excavated ulcer about an inch long, the result of a small carbuncle was cited over the spinous proctss of the tenth dorsal vertebra. Ouer the sacrum there were four small bed-sore- the largest about half an inch in diaaieU-r- . A tow score pustules and a num- ber of irregular stioU of hypo static congestion were scattered over the shoulders, back and buttocks. The inferior part of the scrotum was much Sriismloreil bv bvoostatic congestion. A group of hemorrhoidal tumors rather ltirir than a walnut protruded from the anus. The depressed cicatrix of the wound made bv the nistol-bull- was recognized, over the tenth intercostal space, three and a half inches to the right of the vertebral spine, A deep linear incision was made in the parts bv the operation of July, and was ex tended bv that of August 8th. It occupied a position closely corresponding to the upper border of the right twelfth rib. It com menced posteriorly, about two inches from the vertebral spine, and extended forward a little more than three inches. At the ante- rior extremity of this incision there waa a deep, nearly square abraded surface, about an inch across. A welt oiled, uexiDie ca- theter, fourteen inches lone, was then passed into this wound, which had been dune to waeh it out durinz life. More resistance wa at first encountered than had usually been the case, but after several trials the catheter entered without violence to its full length. It was then left in position and the body dis- posed supinely for the examination of the viscera. The C'rnnlnm Was Sot Opeaad. A long ineiiion was made from the su- perior extremity of the sternum to the pubis, followed by a transverse incision, crossing the abdomen just below the umbilicus. The four flaps thus formed were turned back and the abdominal viscera exposed. The adipose tissue, divided by incisions, was little more than one-eigh- of sn inch thick over the thorax, but was thicker over the abdomen, being about a quarter of an inch thick along the linea alba, and as much as half an inch thicker toward the outer extremity of the transverse incision. On an inspection of the abdominal viscra iu situa, the transverse colon was ob- served to lie a little above the line of the umbilicus. It was firmly adherent to the anterior edge of the liver. The greater omentum covered the intestines pretty thor- oughly from the transverse colon almost to the pubis. It was still very fat, and was much blackened by venous congestion. On both sides its lateral margins were adher- ent to the abdominal parietes. Opposite the eleventh and twelfth ribs, on tiie left side, the adhesions were numerous, well organized, ami probably old. A foot note here says that these adhesions, and the finer ones on the right side, as well as those of the spleen, possibly date back to an old attack of chronic dysentery, from which the patient is said to have suffered during the civil war.1 On the right side there were a few similar adhesions and a number ot more delicate, and probably recent ones. A mass of black coagulated blood covered and concealed the spleen and left the margin of th? greater omentum. On raising the omen- tum, it was found that the bloody mass ex- tended through the left lumbar and iliac re- gions and dipped down into the pelvis, in which there was some clotted blood and rather more than a pint of bloody fluid. A foot note here says that a large part of this fluid bad probably transuded from the in- jection of material by the embalmer. The blood coagulated having been turned out aud collected, measured very nearly a pint. It was uow evident that secondary hermor-rhag- e had been the immediate cause of death, but the . point from which the blood had escaped was not nt once apparent. The omentum was not adherent to the in- testines, which were moderately distended with gas. No intestinal adhesions were found other than those between the trans- verse coUn and the liver already mentioned. The abdominal cavity being now washed out as thoroughlv as possible, a fruitless at tempt wns made to obtain some indication of the position of the bullet before making any further incisions. By pushim? aside the ex- tremity of the catheter, which had been passed into the wound, it could be felt be- tween the peritoneum and the right iliac nar-ci- , but it had evidently doubled upon itself, and although a prolonged search was made, nothing could lie seen or felt to indi- cate the presence of the bullet either in that region or cl- here. Tlie .tbdaminal Vliirri were then carefully removed from the body, pb'.eed in suitable vessels, aud examined tnintini, with the following result: The ad- hesions between the liver aud transverse colon proved to bound an abscess cavitv be- tween ihe under surface of the liver and the transverse messocolon.whieh involved the gall, bladder and extended to about the same dis- tance on each side of it, measuring six inches transversely and four inches from before backward. This cavity was lined by a thick pyogenic membrane which completely re- placed the capsule of that part of the under surface of the liver occupied by the abscess". It contained about two ounces of greenish yellow fluid, a mixture of pus and biliary matter. This abscess did not iuvolve any portion of the stibstauce of the liver except the surface with which it was in contact and no communication could be determined be- tween it and any part of the wound. Some recent peritoneal adhesions existed between the nper surface of the right lobe of the liver and diaphragm. The liver was larger than normal, weighing eighty-fo- ur ounces. Its substance was firm but of a pale, yellowish color on it surface and throughout the interior of the organ from fatty degeneration. No evidence that it had been penetrated by the bullet could be found, nor was there any abscesses or in- farctions in any part of its tissue. The spleen was connected to the diaphragm by adhesions. There were several rather deep congenital fissures in its margins, giving it a lobulated appearance. . It was abnormally large, weighing eighteen ounces, of a very dark-lik- e red, both on the surface and on the section. Its parenchyma was soft and flabby, but contained no abscesses or infarctions, There were some recent peritoneal adhesions between the posterior walls of the stomach and posterior abdominal parietes. W'ith this exception no abnormalities were discov- ered in the stomach or intestines. Nowhere were any other evidences ofgeneralor local peritonitis found, besides those already speci- fied. The right kidney weighed Bix ounces and the left kidney seven. Just beneath the cap- sule of the left kidney at about tu.3 middle of its convex border, there was a little ab- scess one-thi- rd inch in diameter ; there were three small serious cysts on the convel bor- der of the right kidney just beneath its cap- sule; in all other respect the tissue ot both kidneys was normal in appearance and in the texture. The urinary bladder was emp- ty. Behind the right kidney, after the re- moval of that organ from the body, Tli Dilated Track f tbe Ballet was dissected iuto. It was found that from the point at which it had fractured the riht eleventh rib, three inches and a half to the right of the vertebral spine, the missile had gone to the left obliquely forward, passing through the body of the first lumbar verte- bra and loding in the adipose connective tissue immediately below tbe lower border of the pancreas, about two inches and a half to the left of the spinal column, and behind the peritoneum. It had become com- pletely encysted. The track of the bullet between the point at which it had fractured the eleventh rib and that at which it en- tered the lumbar vertebra was considerably dilated, and pus had burrowed downward through the adipose tissue behind the right kidney, and thence had found its way be- tween the peritoneum and right iliac fossa making a descending channel which extend-- , ed almost to the groin. The adipose tissue behind the kidney in the vicinity of this de- scending channel was much thickened and condensed by inflammation. In the channel which was found almost free from pus, lay the flexible catheter introduced iuto the wound at the commencement of the autopsy, its extremity was found doubled upon itself immediately beneath the peritoneum, repos- ing upon the iliac fossa, where the channel dilated into a pouch of considerable size. This long descending channel, now clearly teen to have been caused by the burrowing of pus from the wound, was supposed during life to have been the track of the bullet. The left dorsal, together with the first and second lumbar vertebra; and the last rib were then removed for A Mre Tbaruc;li Examluatioa. When this examination was made it was found that the bullet had penetrated the first lumbar vertebra in the upper part of the right side of the body. The aperture by which it entered involved the inter-vertebr- al car- tilage next above, and was .Bituated just below and anterior to the inter-vertebr- al for- amen, from which its upper margin was about er of an inch distant, passing obliquely to the left and forward through the upper part of the body at the first lumbar ver- tebra. The bullet emerged by an aperature the center of which was about half an inch to the left of tbe medium line, and which a'so involved the inter-vertebr- cartilage next above. The cancellited tissue of the body of the first lumbar vertebra? was very much comminated, and fragments somewhat displaced several deep fissures extended from the track of the bullet into the lower part of the body of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. Others extended through the first lumbar vertebra into the inner vertebra cartilage and the second lum- bar vertebra. Both this cartilage and the next above were partly destroyed by ulcera tion. A number of minute fragments from the lumbar vertebra had been driven into the toft parts. t was Fnrtber Found that the right twelfth rib was also fractured at a point one inch and a quarter to the right of the transverse process of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. This injury had not been recognized during life. On sawing through the vertebra, a little to the right of the me dian line, it was found that the spinal col umn was not involved by the track of the ball. The spinal cord and other contents of this portion of the spinal canal presented no abnormal appearance. The rest of the spinal cord was not examined beyond the first lumbar vertabra. The bullet continued to go the left, passing behind the pancreas to the point where it was found. Here it was enveloped iu a firm cyst of connective tissue, which contained, be side the ball, a minute quantity of inspis- sated somewhat cheesy pus, whish formed a thin layer over a portion of the surface of lead. There was also a black shred adher ing to a part of the cyst wall, which proved on microscopic examination to be the re mains of a blood clot, for about an inch from this cyst the track of the ball behind the panceas was completely obliterated by the Healing process, thence as lar backward the body of the first lumbar vertebra the track was filled with coagulated blood, which extended on the left into a regular space rent in the adjoining adipose tissue behind the peritoneum and above the pancreas. The blood had worked its way to the left, bursting nnauy tnrougn me peritoneum behind tbi spleen into the abdominal cavitv. The rend ing of the tissues by the extravasasation of this blood was undoubtedly the cause of the paroxvems of pain which occurred a short time before death. Ttila HftH of t'oawalmted Blsod was irregular in form and nearly as large as a mans hut. it could be distinctly seen from in front, through the peritoneum, after its site behind the greater curvature of the stomach had been exposed bv dissection of the greater omentum fro m the stomach, aud especially after some of the delicate ad- hesions between the stomach and a part of the peritoneum covering the blood the mass had been broken down by the fingers. From the relations of the mass, as thus seen, it was believed that the hemorrhage had proceeded from one of the mesenteric arteries, but as it was clear that a minute dissection would be required to determine the particular branch involved, it was agreed that the infiltrated tissues and adjoining soft parts should be preserved for subsequent study. Om Examination sad lMsNeetioa, made in accordance with this agreement, it was found that the fatal hermorrhaee oro-- ceeded from a rent nearly feur-tenth- s of an inch long in the main trunk of the splenic artery, two inches and a half to the left of the cu'liac axis. The rent must have oc curred at least several days before death, since the everted edges in the slit in the ves- sel were united by firm adhesions to the sur- rounding connective tissue, thus forming an almost continuous wall bounding the ad joining portion of the blood clot. Moreover, the periphera portion ot the clot in this vi cinity was disposed in perfectly firm concen tric layers; it was further found that the cyst below the lower margin of the pancreas, in hich the bullet was found, waa situated three inches and a half to the left of the cur- iae axis. Besides the coagulated blood. just described, another about the size of a walnut was found in the greateromentum near the splenic extremity of the stomach. The communication between this and the larger hemorrhagic moss c uld not lie made out. The examination of the thoracic viscera re sulted as follows: The heart weighed eleven ounces, all the cavities were entirely empty except the right ventricle, in which a tew shreds of soft, reddish, coagulated blood ad hered to the internal surtace. On the sur- face of the mitral valve there were spots of fattv defeneration. With this exception the cardiac valves were normal. The muscular tissue of the heart was soft and tore easily. A few spots of fatty degeneration existed in the lining membrane ol the aorta just above the semi-lun-ar valves, and a slen- der clot of fibrin was found in the aorta. where it was divided about two inches from these halves for the removal of the heart. On the right slight pleuritic adhesions ex- isted between the convex surface of the lower lobe of the lung and costal pleura, and firm adhesions between the anterior edge of the lower lobe, the pericardium and the diaphragm. The right lung weighed thirty-tw- o ounce. The posterior part of ihe fissure, between its upper and lower lobes, was congeuitally incomplete. The lower lobe of the right lung wag hypostatically congested, aud considerable portions, especially toward its base, were the seat of bronchi-pneumoni- a. The bronchial tube contained a con- siderable quantity of stringy mucoue pus. Their mucous surface waa reddened by catar- rhal bronchitis; the lung tissue was oedama-tou- s. A foot-not- e here says a part at least of this condition was doubtless due to the extravasation of the injection used by the embalmer, but contained no abscesses or in- farctions. On the left side the lower lobe of the lung was bound behind to tbe costal pUura, above to the upper lobe, and below to the diaphragm by pretty firm pleuritic adhesions. The left luug weighed twenty-seve- n ounces. The condition of its bronchial tube and of the lung tissue was very nearly the same as on the right side, the chief difference being that the area of bronchi-pneumoni- a in the lower lobe was much lea extensive in the left lung than in the right. In the lateral part of the low. r lobe of the left lung, and about an inch from iu pleural surface, there was a group of four minute area of gray hepatization, each about one-eigh- of an inch in diame- ter. There were no infarctions and no ab- scesses in any part of the lung tissue.

' London Times, MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD. A singular discovery was made in Paris one day last week, during the alterations which are now being carried out at the Gen- eral Postoffice. In a panel, near one of the boxes, was found a letter which had been posted exactly fifty years ago, and which, by some mischance, had got stuck in the panel instead of finding its way into the box. The letter was duly forwarded to the party to whom it was addressed, who, still more strangely, was alive, and received it safely. Tbe writer, however, had been dead many years. 'T as two and seventy years ago. When "Farmer George" was King, And all his land a rareeshow. With blossom of the spring The lime when lovers courting go. And little birds do sing. They say that folks are wiser now, Aud life has grown completer. The old days were as sweet, I trow, Ferrhauee a little sweeter. The birds upon the cherry bough Have never changed their meter. As eager were the hopes of men. Their joys, alas! as fleeting, And lovers' vows as potent then To set girls' hearts As tender was tbe spriug-Ume- , when The new-bor- n lambs were bleating. Some things, thank God, are lingering yet. And never out of fashion. The laws of stately etiquette Have sared the teuder passion, And sometimes human eyes are wet With tears of soft compassion. So down Time's vista, faint and far. Two lovers we descry. Apart they staud, some sudden jar Disturbs their harmony; A cloud hath ssed o'er Love's sweet star, - And darkened all the sky. The youth he watcbed his true love's face With angry, scornful glance; "Adieu," he cried, "disdainful Grace, I sail for France. Some happier man may have my place, Aud please you more, perchance." "Adieu, sir!" said the haughty maid, "Your fancy chimes with mine, I pray that when the anchor's weighed, The weather may be fine! Too loug melhiiiks you have delayed. To taste the claret wine!" And so they part, these silly souls. With bitter words and sore, And Time's vast ocean moaning rolls Betwixt theui evermore. And they must starve on niggard doles, Who fcai-te- heretofore. Awhile she said, "He loves mo well, I'll die, but ueverdsubthim. he will break the spell : He knows I could not Itout him ;" Theu blank, eternal silence fell, tthe sighed and lived without him. The days passed slswly into years, The bloom of youth departed. No eye beheld her secret tears. Or saw the wound that smarted. Hers was patient love that cheers The sad aud broken-hearte- When fifty years had passed away Life's pains no more beset her; This woman, faded, old and gray, Waits for the Life that's better. Her maid trips in with silver tray: "Madam, a foreign letter!" She took it, with a wondering smile, ' Into her wilnkled hand. She looked at it a little while, she could not understand : 'Twas folded in an ancient style. The Ink was pale and tunned. What ghost arises from the past To scarce that faithful breast? A dead man's message eome at last, Bv cruel faie suppressed "fjew God !" sheeiled, while tears fell" fast, "I'm ready for my rest." "O love, forgive," the letter said, "I canndt leave you s, Write but a word, ere fate le sped. Whether vou will or no;" And then the date tbe woman read, 'Twos fifty years ago! She threw the easement open wide. This lady most forlorn ; A robin whistled sweet outside. L pou a leafless thorn. Ana he sang of love that had ueverdied, Aud the Resurrection morn.

Won Id Be a Dlasrraee. Senator Pugh, in an interview with the Western Associated Press agent, denies in toto the existence of any intention on the part of Democratic Senators to abandon their rights in tbeorganization of tbe Senate, He knows nothing of any conference held while on the Presidential funeral trip, and thinks that to trade off the presiding officer for small offices of the Senate would disgrace any Democratic senators participating in it The Circumlocution Office.

Parties accused in the Star-rout- e conspira cy continue to be confident and defiant. Brady says that the information presented to the Court yesterday is the same document as that read to Garfield in March last, and that it was pronounced by him as entirely too frivolous to proceed upon. He says also that Garfield severally forbid a proceeding by the information, as it would appear that the Government was afraid that its case was not strong enough to go to a Grand Jury. Colo nel Cook denies Brady a etory, and asserts that the mtormatiou was never thought of till after adjournment of the Grand Jury September 1 tli. .this was a total surprise to the At torney-Genera- l, aud none of the Government counsel hesitate to impute a desire to shield the Star-rout- e ring to Colonel Corkhill, the District-Attorne- y. They say it was early lound necessary to conceal the details of the Government's case from him. So far from being afraid of the Grand Jury the prosecu tion is readv with six bills of indictments which will be presented at latest by October loth. Among these is a bill special ly framed to cover Dorsey's proceed mgs. Attorney-Gener- ilaceagU says that although there was well grounded suspfcion in regard to Corkhill's fitness for his place previous to the shooting of Gar field, and had that event been deferred but one week, a new lnstrict-Attorne- y would have been appointed. As soon as Guiteau's trial is concluded a change will be made. Corkhill is one of Hayes s appointees and owes his place to the solicitations of Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court, whose daughter he married. The Democratic Programme. Washington Post. There is really no necessity for a prolonged discussion as to the organization ol the Sen ate one week from next Monday. The programme, according to the statute and precedents, is very simple and easily learned. Ordinarily the presiding officer would call the bodv to order. There is no presiding officer, ' Arthur be- ing President. In addition thereto there ia no President pro tan. In their absence the Secretary of the Senate should handle the gavel. There is now, however, no Secretary of the Senate, Mr. Btirch having died, but in his absence the Chief ( lerk will, according to precedent, perform the same functions. Called to order on October 10th, the first business will be to elect a President pro tern. The Senators who will participate in such election number seventy-thre- e, of whom thirty-seve- are Democrats, thirty-fou- r are Republicans, with David Davis Independent, and Mahune "assistant Republican." The President, therefore, will be a Democrat. reit in order will be the election of a Secretary to record the proceedings. He should be a Democrat, and for this position many gentlemen are being urged. .Next in order will be the presentation of the credentials of the new Senators from New York and Rhode Island. There will probablv be no objection to the Senator from Rhode Island and Senator Lapham, from New York, but at the time of his election it was urged against Senator Miller that he had procured hi election by bribery, and that the joint'convention had not power to elect a Senator, as though it had a majority of the Legislature in attendance, when there was not a maioritv of the Senate present. His opponents allege that, to have been elected, the joint convention should have been com- posed of a majority of both branches of the legislature. An objection by one Senator to the admis- sion of Miller will send his credentials to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, who will have to report before he can be ad- mitted. There are now no committees of the Senate, those chosen last spring by the Re- publicans expiring with the extra session. If the comm'ttees have to be selected before the admission of any new Senators, they will be Democratic, but they will hold only during the extra session. The entire question of committees will come up at the regular ses- sion in December, no matter what may be done at the extra session. Then it will take affirmative action to constitute them, and then, supposing the Senate to be full, there will be a tie. There must be a compromise between the parties and a fair division of the committees before the matter can be settled. There is absolutely no truth in any rumors as to an or compromise or- ganization. Senator Garland, who for some time last spring waa paired with Senator Ed- munds, is reported as agreeing with the latter that Senator Anthony shalljoe President pro (em., the Democrats reclaiming the other offices, and the Republicans the . iminittees. There is not an element of fact in 'is ridicu- lous story. Senator Garland had no such authority, and would be the last man to pre- sume upon iu exercise. Senator Davis, of Illinois, will act just as he did at the last session. Senators Slater, of Oregon, and Hill, of Georgia, are expected to be present, but if not, leading Republicans assure the Democrats that they shall be paired. A Crank After Coukllna. New York, October 1. A merchant named Jackson, doing business on the East river front, to-d- laid before the Police Commissioners a letter which he interpreted as a determination on the part of the writer (a Utica man) to assassinate Conk-lin- g. The writer expressed the opinion that Conkling deserved death, and the writer said he was coming to New York on the occasion of the State Convention next Wednesday and Conkling should not be admitted, be the consequences what they might. The Police Commissioners, while they do not attach much importance to the inatlet, will look after the Utica man when he comes to the city to attend the Convention next Wednes-da- y. ABERDEEN, MISS. A Fnslonist Convention, and Wbat Came of It. Special to the Appeal. Aberdken, Ml., October 1. The met in convention y a mere handful and nominated a full county ticket. Perhaps the most amusing feature in the proceedings was that of the nomina- tion of a Sheriff. Two gentlemen were put. in nomination, when a Fusionist who had just been nominated for Representative put in nomination lor Sheriff Captain E. L. Sykes, our present incumbent, and whe wa recently nominated for by the Democratic Convention. Not supposing Sykes, a Democrat, would get any vote in an Convention, no objection was urged, but when the ballots were being counted and it was seen that Sykes was ahead, the tellers were stopped and a motion to withdraw Sykes's name unless lie would pledge his support to the ticket prevailed, when another nomination was made by ac- clamation. This is an index of old Monroe and the vote iu November. The air as we write is filled with sweet music by our band practicing some airs for the welcome of Gov- ernor Lowry and the amusement of Colonel King, Monday. AX ILLINOIS 9IOB Visit Swift Retribution dortr of a Jailer. Bixxmtnoton, Iix., October 1. The long list of bloody tragedies occurring in Bloom-ingto- n culminated in a startling tragedy that has thrilled the city through- out. About 0:30 this evening jailer Ted Franks, then in charge of the prisoner of the McLean county jail, went to the cell of one Pierce, a young man incarcerated for stealing a horse and awaiting trial. The jailer took Pierce from his cell to remove him to another. While he was escorting him there Pierce suddenly snatched Frank's pistol from the "belt" and fired three shots at him. One entered his back. Aa he wheeled around Pierce fired a second shot, the ball striking him in the shoulder, and then fired again, the third time the ball piercing his heart, going clear through the body. News of the murder spread like wild fire, and by 8 o'clock a mob of 4000 or 5000 men and women surrounded tbe jail. The officers did all in their power to restore quiet, but the mob broke into the jail and procured the murderer. With a rope around his neck they. dragged him, amid the greatest excitement, to a tree near by and lynched him. It waa feared that Patsy Divine, in jail for the murder of Aaron Good fellow, Would suffer the same penalty, but the mob dispersed without touching him. THE 1J0ATLER H0XICIDE At Scanlais Landing, Ark. Wbat tbe Associate Justice Haa to bay About It. To the Editors of the Memphis Appeal: Marios, Aek., September 30, 1881. Having seen in the Ledger lines that the killing of W. T. Boatler by J. J. Ward, in this county, onlthe 2Cth instant, was pro- nounced a cold-blood- murder, I take this opportunity of showing the falsity thereof by saying that I was invited by George W. Ward, Esq., the Justice of the township in which the homicide was committed, who has issued a warrant for the arrest of the said Ward, to sit with him in the hearing ef said cause, that the said Justice issued a subpena for all person present at the homicide, irre- spective of color or personal feeling in re- gard to the said Boatler, or Ward, and he also addressed a note to Mr. Henry Y. Hul-bu- t, a lawyer, residing in that township, re- questing him to appear and take charge of the prosecution of the said Ward, to do which be, in writing, declined. Tbe court convened at Scanlan s store, the place of the homicide, on Wednesday, September 28,1881, and proceeded to investigate said case, and after hearing the evidence of Mr. A. C. Brewer, E. J. Scanlan, M. P. Runby, Jerry Toohey, Elbert Harris and Dock Turner, witnesses for the State, and that of James lien man, J. H. Scott, and Hilliard Johnson, witnesses for the defendant, the court was of the opinion that the killing was in e, because the evidence plainly showed that on the day previous the deceased vio- lently and threateningly abused said Ward, and that at the time of the homicide the de- ceased came off the steamer James Lee with a pistol in his hand, and while checking some freight laid it on a box near him, at which time Ward came np and said, "Cap- tain Boatler, you cursed and abused me on yesterday, and said you were going to kill me." Boatler replied, "Yes, you d d s n of ab h, I did say it, and I meant it" reaching for his pistol - on the box. When in the act of raisiug it to shoot, Ward fired, killing him. I make this statement not only iu justice to the said Wardi but to the court trying him, thereby hoping to show that no d murderer has been turned loose upon the community. DANIEL W.

L0WR1 AND KINO At Okolona Yesterday Continuation of the ;nhernatorlal Debate Another Victory for (Jen. Lowry. White and Colored Democrats Tark the Cob rt house to Its Utmost Seating : Capacity Hearty Enthusiasm. Special to tho Appeal. Okolona, Miss., October 1. The joint debates between General and Colonel King were continued at this place The courthouse, where the speaking was held, was crowded to ite utmost capacity by an audience composed almost exclusively of white and colored Democrats. COLONEL KINO made the opening speech, and was intro- duced by General Griffin, an old gentleman who haa become daft on the subject of our national finance, and who believes if the Treasury Department were organized upon ideas of political and financial reform every man in the land would become a millionaire, aud we would all enjoy a Utopian decree of prosperity and happiness never be- fore dreamed of or enjoyed by any people on earth. Colonel King' speech was devoted almost entirely to a narrative of what he had heard at different points in regard to ballot-bo-x stuffing and other violations of the election laws, and claimed that if he waa elected such fraudulent practices upon the rights of the colored citizens would cease. It waa the most solid Democratic audience the Colonel bad yet encountered, and the present action of his most telling point failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the assembly. Even his favorite anecdote of the man who stole the bull and who waa tried by a jury of whom eleven had helped to eat the beef, the narration of which here- tofore, told in bis inimitable way, Jias al- ways created shouts of laughter, fell like a limp rag and elicited scarcely a smile from his attentive auditors. GENERAL LOWRY WAS INTRODUCED by Colonel A. Y. Hooper, in a brief speech, in which he handsomely eulogized Iowry, whom he said would make the best Governor Mississippi ever had. General Lowry com- menced by saying that when iu another part of the State, new came flashing " over the wires of the violent death of a distinguished citizen of Okolona. Hi heart was tilled with sadness, for with him, whom they all mourned, he had followed the banner of the Confederacy through fonr years of war wherein he had learned to love and admire the man whose death, by the hand of an assassin, waa deplored not only here in Okolona, but by the people all over the broad extent of Mississippi who never had a braver defender or a more upright, patriotic citizen than Okolona's chivalrous soldier-statesma- General Wil- liam T.Tucker. The subject of internal improvement and other questions of vital importance to the development and advance- ment of the State were next eloquently dis- cussed, and when they had been forcibly pre- sented and the policy of hi administration outlined and pledged to the carrying of them out, he turned hi attention to Colonel King, and the Republican and Greenback parties that nominated King, and for the next hour he directed such a terrific fire into the enemy's camp that the little squad who were present capitulated unconditionally, and, with the exception of General Gritfin, who still holds the Greenback fort in this county, but which is garrisoned only by himself, they will hereafter march under the banner of De- mocracy. COLONEL KINO'S REJOINDER was, as usual, able and ingenious, but the audience, though attentive and decorous, was unsympathetic and solidly opposed to him, and he therefore spoke at a disadvan- tage. The Grand Jury now in session at this place have just indicted for murder the col- ored bov, Houston Parish, accused of tbe as- - sassination of General Tucker. The evi dence against him is purely circum stantial, but such is Ihe bitterness against him where Tucker was so highly esteemed that the probabilities are that he will never be arraigned before a court. e visited him y in jail. He is a young mulatto about eighteen years old, possessed of a good face, and many think him innocent of the das tardly crime of whish be is charged. GENERALS CATCHINGS AND FITZGERALD spoke at Rienzi last night to a large audi ence. They will accompany the Gubernato rial candidates, and are addressing an im mense audience her THE OTHER HALF Or tbe Capital Prise in the L,oniaoa Lottery. Memphis Avalanche, September 20th. A day or two after the last drawing of the Louisiana Lottery, it was reported that Mr. John Conners, an engineer on the Louisville and Nashville road, had drawn half of the capital prize flo.000. lesterday an .4rafancAe reporter heard that Mr. Conners wns in town, and hunted him up. He was found at hia boardinghouse, and readily an sw..-re- the questions put to him. "I understand, Mr. Conners," said the re- porter, "that you held half of ticket No. 43, 713, which drew the capital prize in the Louisiana Lottery. "Yes, Bir, I did. On Wednesday before last, the 7th instant, I bought three half tickets of Mr. Gillespie, the agent here. I didn't think much about it, and never knew I had won until I saw the drawing in the paper at Milan, on my run np there the next morning atter it came oil. "Did you have any trouble or delay in getting your money; "Not a bit. On my return to Memphis took the ticket to Mr. Gillespie, and he went with me to tbe liana of Commerce, which collected the money for me. I got every cent of lL" "Well, I suppose you will go in and buy an interest in a railroad now, suggested the reporter. No, sir, I intend to go on and work as I have always done, and keep the $15,000 to fall back on iu case of bad luck," waa the re ply. Mr. Conners is a fine specimen of the American mechanic, well made and intelligent. There is no doubt but that he will put his winnings to good use. The Medical College Will be open at 10 a.m. Monday, Dr. W. E. Rogers, Dean of the Faculty, officiating. The opening address will be delivered by Dr. r. L. Sim. This i the second session of this admirable instiution, and there is a very flattering prospect of a good season. There is a library as well as a museum, which will be thrown open to the public. The college has in the past been unusually successful and is known as one of the most reliable institutions of the South. The corps of instructors is strong, the line of studies complete and the college is equipped with the best facilities for mak- ing it a pride to the city. As long as there is so admirable an institution it is folly for Southern boys to go North and East for their education. Tbe Liberal League. Chicacio. October I.
