Tuornton, of Georgia, to be a friend of Hon. Emory Speer, of Georgia, a Srak maz gleaned from him the fol- Jowipg about Mr. Speer and about Georgia poltt- ical sais. In answer to an inquiry about Mr. Speer, as to whether he would really vote with ibe republicans in the organization of the next House of Kepresertatives, Mr. Thornton sald that be was not authorized to speak for Mr. Speer, bad rot seen bim for several days and corld not say anything about him that was ec cathedra; “but,” ssid Mr. Thornton, ‘I can say this, lama friend of Mr. Speer, and I believe firmly that he will act in accordance with bis ripciples a8 he has annunciated them down in Georgia when before the people for re-elec- tton to Congress and thereupon received an ir creased majority over his former elec:ion. Speer is the commg man of not only Georgia Dut of the routh. ‘There is a great future De- fore iim and I believe he is keenly alive to ail the requirements. As for myself I have stood by the young men in Georgia all the time, and Iheve always advocated Mr. Speer, althougn he was not in my congressional alstrict. Mr. Speer has succeeded twice in three times in his district and he wil! succeed again. If he de- sires, and does vote with the republicans for a republican Speaker of the House, he hag a perfect right to do so, and there is no min in Georgia who has the i it to denounce him for it He was elected by a majority of 4.000 against a democratic nominee, who brought all the machinery of that immense organ- iation in the state “to his ald, com- bined with all the personal abuse and denunciation that the democrats could command. Republicans voted for Mr. Speer. They ran no candidate agsinst him, nor did they abuse and villity him. ‘nen whom should he vote for for Speaker? I say unhesl- tatingly he should vote with the republicans. But under ell the circumstances 1 think tt quite robable, and, in fact, just and fitting that Mr. peer should vote for the candidate for Speaker of the next House whom he regards as the best, Tan for the best interests of the couatry. I think, without being able to speak for him, that he will act in that way, and without going into aby caucus of eliher party.” “How about politics down in Georgla? Your legislature meeis in July.” *In this connection I may say that in the event Governor Colquitt becomes a candidate for Senator against Senator Ben Hill, (and I think he certainly will,) and they get anything Dear an even vote, the friends of peer will press htm forward for United states Senator ta Place of Mr. Hill. Speer is the man for the plsce. He illustrates the new south. Helsa Man nov of the war, and has none of itg issues yet hanging like a pallover him. You dan jist Say that Speer is the right man in the rigat place, and that he will vote for a repubitvan Speaker of the next House, if he wants to. The political fight in Georgia this fall will he very bitter. The republicans are going to take @ bold and determined stand.” What Ex-Custodian Pitney Says. ‘There has been a repori afloat that Mr. O. L. Pitney, formerly custodian of the Treasury de- partment, is going to make things lively for officers of the department who were above him, because he has been removed. It has been stated that he will not consent to be a scape- goat, and, in short, is “going to give the whoie thing away.” One report in this connection is that Pitney will appear before the grand jiry and give information which will lead to a whole cart load of indictments. Mr. Pitney deried these reports last week to a STak re- Ferter. To day he said to the same individual: “If you newspaper men do not watch out some Mime } Ou may iuadverter tly tell a lle about tae ‘Treasury business, Thai's what you mizat call sarcasm. Of course, there lg no truth ia su:b reports as you refer to. They are Iles throuzh endthrough As regards my going before the grand Quy and all that stuff, I don’t see how anybody could possibiy get up a bigger lie.” Dom Pedro’s Comet. THE EMPEROR OF BRAZ:L ITS FIRST DISCOVERER— WHAT THAY 8AY AT THE OBSERVATORY. The comet which has been ccquetting with the astronomers for several days permitted it- self to be distinctly seen all of last night. It became visible in the northwest as soon as the Eunlight faded out of the heavens, and rematuea visib.e until daylight. Tne astronomers at the Observatory took iu'l advantage of this splen. aid opportunity for studying and analyzing (be stranger. Prof. Eastman, Prof. Frisvl2 ai others were busy all nicht making observatious, ‘The professors say that the results were mos’ satisfactory. Today they are busy maktog 4 computations upon the basis of tas materia gathered, by which they hope to deflaitely ‘ix its position and orbit. New alleged diszover+r of the comet appear every day. One of the JTofesgors sald toa Stax reporter to-day tha: &n astronomer who hopes to secure a proprie- tary interest in a comet must prove by record that he was the first to have aunounc:d its presence, and in case of a faint comet he must also have defined its position, THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DOM PEDRO. The Comptes Rendus, the official journal of the Academy of Science of Paris, of June 6th last, was received at the Naval Observatory to- day. It contains on its first page a dispatch trom the Emperor of Brazil, announciog the discovery of a comet in right ascension 5h. 2n., declination south 3115, movingy northwa:d. This dispatch, it will be observed was dated two days before Dr. Goulds cablegram. As it @j pears to be the first official announcement mace of the comet, according to ordinary usage, the visitcr should te called Dom Pedro's c>:nst. A compsrison of this dispatch with that of Dr. Gouid’s establishes 1a the mind3 of the pro- fesgors of ihe observatory the fact that both Gispatcbea refer to the same comet, a3 the slight difference in position would be éxplataed by the difference in time and plac? of taking the otgeivation. The “Ft” in Dr. Gould’s mut!- lated tel gram was translated by Kulph C292- Jand of the Dun Echt observatory, a3 mean- ing-“six;” but with the light now thrown upoa it by Dom Pedro's dispatch it 13 plata, Prot. Skivner thinks, toat it was intended for— vhat one would naturally suppose—five. The Bra- ilian dispatch apnounced that the comet would pses its perihelion on tbe 30ib of May.

Ex-Senator Conkling drove out to the Cor- coran “Trinidad” farm yesterday to see his fine mare which was recently injured in a barbed wire fence. She is at that farm in the hands Of a veterinary surgeon. The mare was fajured on the Edgewood farm, the home of Mrs Sprague. She was driven out there, a week or 80 ago, by the colored groom who wasentru;ted With her care during the ex-Senator’s absence. The roves concluded to spend an hour or so on the place—Mrs. Sprague is absent—so he took the barneas from the mare and turned her loose to “run awhile,” he said. Tue pasture she was in was enclosed with a wire fence, into which she got entangled. The hiternational sunday Schoo! Convention. REPLY TO PRESIDENT GARFISLD'S LETTER.

His horrified relatives found his dead body 10 the fleld,perforated with buckshot, Near by wis @ screen constructed by the assassin, behind which he stood and fired the fatalshot. Ctr. cumstances point strongly to Rtchard Johnson, an unmarried neighbor of the victim, as the Principal, and James Johnson, Robert’ Estrs ard a son of the latter, as accessories to the arime. All the parties are now in custody awaiting examination. The motive for ihe deed is sald to have been revenge on account of Anderson's having “‘homeateaged” some land wanted by the supposed murderers. Great Hail Storm _in Connecticut.

The Proposed New School Baildings THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELAY IN STARI- ING THE WORK. The District Commissioners express fears that the long delay of the school board in fur- ishing them with specifications for the new School buildings to be erected will cause dimi- culty in carrying out tne 1aw, and are appre- hensive that the best of the season for building purposes will pass before the work 1s com- menced. The law making the appropriation for the schocl-houses passed the 3d of Maren, and provides “that the plans and specifications 1or exch of the school buildings shall be tur- nished by the architect of the Capito! and ay - proved by the board cf school trustees, and te work shall be euperinterded by the District inspector of buildings.” Almost immediately afier tbe passage of the law Commission: + Dent addressed a note to Mr. Edward Ciarx, architect of the Capitol, informing him of tac duty impesed, and requesting him 43 soon a. convenient to prepare and forward to them said labs 2nd epecifcations, to be submitted to tue rd of school trustees for their approval, u- required by the act.

They also offer to efiord bim al! ala in their power.
