Atlanta Cor. '. Y. Sun.
Yesterday an old and rather lilewern
looking figure walked slowly into the
hotel office, and, without appearing te
netice anybody or anything about him,
sat down in a cushioned chair, drew his
breadbrim slouched hat ever a mass of
gray locks that always go uncombed,
champed the uulighted cigar held half it3
length concealed between his lips, and"
seemed se utterly oblivious te the remarks
and gazes that were directed toward him
that one would suppose he had fallen into
a deep reveile. Fancy him sitting there,
hi head slightly bent toward his chest,
eyes nearly closed, legs crossed, euu hand
crasping a plain geld headed walking
stick and the ether hanging limp ever the
knee that supports his arm, a black coat
and waistcoat that reveals beneath his
unshaven chin a shirt of the olden times
that is, with cellar made te it and fitting
close and high up around his neck, around
which is tied a plain black cravat with the
ends hanging down uoen his besom, aud
you have a view of Itebeit Toombs of
Georgia. Such is the imperious leader of
secession, and the new rapidly fading rem
nant of unreconstructed confederacy.
Hew changed his aspse.t new from the
fieiv aud lordly form aud face that fanned
theflame of discoid into the oenflagratiou
of war twenty years age ! Fer, I vciily
bt-lieve, no man in the Seuth had a
stronger held upon his people th.iu he,
and certainly r.ena wielded meie influ
ence with mere ardor aud vahemeuce.
Frem tbe time that hu telegraphed from
Washington te Georgia the appalling mes
sage : " I havu submitted prepositions,
and they vc-te heated with derision and
contempt. It is di-cisivn against you new.
1 'ell yen upon the faith of a true man
that all Utrther looking te the North for
L-ecmity of your censtituti-Mial rights
ought "te be" instantly abandoned and
sscossien thundered from the billet box,"
Gen. Tenmb-s has no; changed one whit
in his estimation of the Federal govern
ment. He is pulleu and deliiinc, and will
be while life lasts. He will net become a
citizen of the United State?, but declares
he lives only for hU native Geetgia, and
(iwes allegiance only te her and her icsti
tuliens. When asked why he refused the
pardon offered him by the government, his
wrinkled face were a leek of .scorn as he
replied : " Parden me ! Why, d n 'em, I
haven't, pardoned them yet."
He had beet) seated in the heUsl only a
few minutes when, r. is always the case
when be is in the city, a number of gen
tlemen aunroaehed him, saying: "Hew
d'ye de, general ?" and shook him by the
hand. Soen a citc'e ei friends gather
around him te hen.- him talk, and as dif
fercnt topics arc brought. uuder discussion
and conversation begun by some allusion
i.e an incident of a speech or champaign
of some politician, the old fluency and
vivacity return te him, aud, instead of a
sour and gruff old man, he proves te be
full of menial life and activity.
It is a common sight te see him, flushed
with wine for he drinks steadily sitting
wit h this crowd, e.igeily catching every
weid, .siul occasionally giving forth a
vclk'-yef laughter at some queer expres
sion el vehement profanity.
Tiiere seems te be no limit te tiic range
of his knowledge, especially en affairs of
political history and hi general relations
of governments te each ether. Though
this remarkable man is G7 year-1, old, aud
has been drinking ham for nearly Uaii
that, time, the power of his intellect .has
steed the shock seemingly unimpaired.
He is wealthy new, an-1 does net care for
professional work, yet se confident are
railroad and ether corporations in the ac
curacy of his counsel that they seek him
at his home in Washington. Ga. aud pay
princely fees for legal advice.

aul and liberated negrees all the rights
and privileges of American citizens, in

placed in the reach of the iew and ignor
ant, will overturn any gevid government.'
But for a man te study, Jer an object te

career. " His frail form ami wrinkleil

Fer mere than thirty ycats Stephens has
been an invalid, " with only a few weeks
te live," s&y the lepertcrs ; but the faith
ful servant who c'anicK the plain little
man about the house in his arms, says he
feels a little " heavier new dan he ure
ter " This is a queer sight te one first
visiting him, te see a young negre take
the governor eS Georgia in his arms, and
lift him across the street aud into his car
riac like a baby. But this ninety pounds
of bone aud llesh (mostly beuc) has been
through a terrific ordeal. A peer farmer's
boy, college student, Foheol teacher, law
yer, congressman, vice prcnidens ei the
Confederate states, author, historian and
governor, he has made thousands, was
never ciarried,yct te day he is a peer man,
barely able te keep up en his salary. lie
has given away mere money and educated
mera young men and children (some of
them negrees) than any ether man in the
Seuth. He has had fertuues offered te him
for a trilling effort en his part, but he ro re
f.ised tuenfall because he was honest and
e..:iKcientieus. Calm, thoughtful and
Gomnassienatc, he forms a striking ecu
trast with Toombs, who notwithstanding
his clashing views and diverging policies,
has always been the warm and devoted
friend of " Little Alec." While Stephens
pleaded for the Union, Toombs urged its
dissolution, and when it was all ever
Stephens hastened te accept the situation
iu geed spirit, and has until this day
labored te restore confidence and acceid
aud allay bitterness and strife.
These two men were boys together, nun
in the zenith et their manhood were often
arrayed against each ether at the bar.
" Let us adjust these grave difficulties by
methods of neace." said Stephens. "Net
by human sacrifice aud flame. This se
cession is an act. of madness and felly de
f,ined te overthrew the government under
which wc have been lestcrea, ana it uas
neither my vote nor sanction." Tombs
wanted te " trust in the Ged of battles
and the bleed of the brave for security
aud tranquillity." -The Seuth followed
the fury of Tombs, heedless of the cool
insen of Rhnnlinna. and lest Sill.
Frail and aged, Alexander II. Stephens
arm-Ire rAn hours pae.h dav. He has JUSI
j completed a lengthened address te be de
! iivcredatthe approaching sesqui-uenten-I
nial celebrated at Savannah. But the
most striking characteristic of the little
lgoerner IB his frugal and plain way of
living. The mansion inside is the same
old " Liberty Hall " of Crawfordville se
often described as the home of everybody
that chose te come. Ne pompons cere
mony, no glitter of wealth, but se simple
and free and easy is everything, that the
visitor feels comfortable and ready for a
chat with the bright old man.
The home of Toombs is magnificent,
but net ostentatious or garish. Plain
rich furniture, costly library, and ceremo
nious servants .te obey every order like
pages at court. " Intensely devoted te his
family, he cares nothing for public criti
cism, glorying in his attitude of the lone,
single unpardened rebel. He is a fossil of
a great epoch in our history, but repre
sents absolutely nothing new. His wor
shipped image, the Confederacy, fell, and
his power and influence fell with it.
Stephens has climbed along slowly aud
surely for fifty years, and it is only new,
in a ripe old age, that he reaches the
zenith of his career, both in the public
estimation aud his statesmanship aud in
the love and confidence of his people.
Toombs, by the grand flight of a daring
spirit, steed upon the summit of his life's
greatness twenty years age, and that
monument is new of the past. It stands
net in the pale of recent years. His life,
3s a citizen, is aimless ; as a public man,
his name can live only in the narrative of
a fierce convulsion.
Stephens was conservative. Toombs
rebellious. The storm of war came thtin
deiing upon the country, aud Toombs
was its genius. Peace came again, and
Stephens was its festering agent ; both
survivors of a cause that fell while in their
hands.

Great indignation prevails among high

alleged clandestine Masonic organization
that has been conferring degrees up te
the thirty-third, despite the fact that they
are net recegnised by the highest Mtusenic

by five advanced M iseus, who were re
cently expelled front the supreme council

assumed power that did net pertain te
them. What are known as the Quinni

proceeded te confer all the higher degrees

One can call a woman a liar, plainly

About a week age the dead body of a
colored man named Daniel Walker was
feuud en the track of the Richmond,
Fredericsburg & Potemao railroad, about
eight miles from Richmond, and it was
then supposed that he had been killed by
the fast mail train. His remains were
interred and nothing mere was thought of
the matter. Fer severai days past, how
ever, rumors have been in circulation in
the neighborhood that Walker had been
murdered aud that his body had been
placed en the track in order te make it
appear that he had been killed by a hain.
An investioatiea has been made by the
comity magistrate, which has resulted in
the arrest ef Barbara Walker, the dead
man's wife, aud Charles Lee, a negre, who
it is asserted was intimate with the
woman, en suspicion of conspiracy te get
her husband out of the way. Mary
Walker, a daughter of the deceased, states
that about a week before her father's
death she heard Lee, in talking about her
father, threaten te kill him, and that en
the last day her father was alive he and
Lee had tome difficulty. These facts,
together with some developments con
nected with the finding of the body, led te
the arrest. The man and woman have
been brought te Richmond.
