DAILY EyQl T iRftR.:SUS; OOmtBllS, G|P!A,; THUlffiDAY MOHNiyg> JUP> Hy In Which A WAR STORY. ■i* tltc Feuplr nf to I u minis ytnr From the Knoxville Tribune of a recent, tlate we take the following war story: The president of one of the banks in this city tells the following strange but true story of the late unpleasantness: “In the year 1864, I was in Columbus. Georgia, Wing absent front nty command on a t hirty day’s furlough. I was tlrst lieuten ant lit a company of General Forest’s com mand and received my furlough from the war department at Richmond. It was signed and countersigned by different offl- cers, and the last signature was that of Judith P. Benjamin, the secretary of war. 1 was, of course, jubilant over being per mitted to leave the irksome duties of camp life awhile. I had gone from our cant]) near Waverly, Mississippi, to Columbus, because I had relatives there. I left my tried and true war horse with saddle, hostlers and pistols with Colonel Young’s people at their home, and at the time I remember of thinking of a beautiful young tilly that I had left at my own home on alarm ten miles north of Nashville, Tennessee, when 1 went into t he confederate army. I had been in Columbus only a short while when I was summoned by Colonel Vonsenkin, commandant of the fort, and requested to take n picked scpiad of men and go on the road leading from Columbus to Opelika and endeavor to find out as near ns possible the number of men under Gen eral Wilson, the federal officer who was then marching to attack Columbus. I bor rowed a splendid buy stallion from a gen tleman named Winters, of Columbus, and as I mounted him I thought of my trusty charger in Mississippi, and strangely enough, again remembered the tilly 1 had left at my home near Nasli- ville. At the head of a company of eighty mounted men selected for the occasion from the whole command, 1 crossed the bridge over the river and en tered the little village of Girard. Hardly bad we reached the outskirts of the town, when the sharp crack of a rifle and the close whizzing of a bullet told us that we bad met the advanced guard of General Wilson’s army. A fierce skirmish was the immediate result and for a few minutes the crash of small arms and the deadly music of bullets made things quite inter esting; but soon the handful of Wilson’s Advance were in swift retreat, pressed hot ly by the gallant southerners. My magnificent stallion led the pur- •suit, and singling out a splendidly mounted orderly sergeant of the 2d Ohio cavalry, I pressed him so closely that he was compelled to spring from his horse and make his escape over fences and through the yard of the village. I caught his horse, a beautiful and finely formed mare, and took her back to Columbus when we returned. This was the first cap ture from the enemy that was ever taken into Columbus, and my mare attracted no little attention. The filly 1 had left near Nashville was a splendid animal, sired by Ingomar, and could pace about as fast as an ordinary horse could run. I was very much attached to her, and when I mounted my prise, captured from the Yankee, her color, style, -splendid action and remarkable speed, caused me to believe that she was no other than my favorite I had left at home. Isold the mare to Bishop Quintard, of Tennes see, who was then in Columbus, for $2000. Afterwards. I wrote to my uncle at home, near Nashville, and learned from him that a part of General Wilson’s command had passed through Tennessee, and had camped on our farm some weeks before. When they left, my mare had been taken away Ity an orderly sergeant of the 2d Ohio cavalry; and I had captured her nearly a thousand miles away. FORGOTTEN GREAT MEN. The Disappoint! rut anil Mockery of| I'olltli'al Life. ■St. Louis Globe Democrat. The case of Robert M. T. Hunter, con firmed a few days since to be collector of the port of Tappahannoek, Va.—an office worth only $230 a year—is a curious and suggestive Illustration of the uncertain ties of political life and the transitory na ture of political reputation in this coun try. It is doubtful if one in a thousand of the readers of the newspapers recognized Mr. Hunter’s name as that of a man once everywhere well known as an active and potent character in national politics. He was conspicuous for forty years, and rose successively from one office to another until he reached the senate, from which he was expelled in 1861, when he became secretary of state in Jeff Davis’s cabinet. He served the confederacy faith fully and ably until the close of the war, and was taken prisoner with Davis and confined at Fort Monroe until President Johnson released and pardoned him. Few men ever had a more successful career, as politicians estimate success; and yet alter all his labor and all his experience, he finds himself compelled in his old age to ask for a humble little office to save him from want, and it is given to him as a char ity, since ltis infirmities arc known to be such that he can not properly perform its duties. There are not many cases so utterly ironical and pitable as this, perhaps; but there are thousands which serve more to convey the same impressive lesson. The country is strewn with wrecks of men who were once at the flood-tide of political prosperity, and seemed certain to win per manent fame and abundant material re ward. Not all of them are miserably poor, as Mr. Hunter is; but their estate is quite as bad us his so far as the sense of final failure is concerned. They sought to con- , nect themselves with ttie political history of their time in a fixed and memorable form, and with all their exertion and all their opportunities, the undertaking resulted in disappointment and mockery. The country even refuses to keep in mind the fact that there was a time when their names were familiar and popular, and their influence distinct and pervasive. It is hardly known that they live any longer, so completely have they passed out of pub lic sight and interest^ and when by chance one of them is mentioned as ii participator in former scenes of political importance and splendor, an effort of the imagination is required to give him credibility and lift bis record out of the oblivion into which it has gradually fallen. Of the thousands of men who have been prominent in our politics at different pe riods of our history, how many are remem bered in any definite or enduring way? You can count them on your lingers. With tlie exception of Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Benton, it Is difficult to recall even b.v name any of the long list of able and am bitious statesmen who swayed the political destinies of the nation forty years ago. In deed, those of a date still considerably Inter are by no means as easy to think of and to place correctly as might reasonably be supposed. They rendered wise and profita ble service, many of them, and were ac counted great in their day; but the reputation they achieved was for a season only', after all, and their countryman of the present time know practically nothing of it. We should at least lie able, it would seem, to name readily and appreciatively all those who occupied influential posi tions ifi congress during the war; but it is a lamentable fact that few of us can do so. The five or six supreme figures of the time we recollect promptly and vividly; but as for the many others who, though not sur passing, were distinctly forceful, we have to consult the books to find out surely whom they were and what we owe them of praise and gratitude. The Soiitli_Ini|proviua. Philadelphia Times. It is pleasant to turn from politics and politicians to more material things. At ME the St. James I met General V. D. Groner, of Norfolk. He Is the biggest ship nmn in that southern seaport. He manages aline of steamers from Norfblk to Boston, and Norfolk to Washington, and another from Norfolk to Liverpool. “The south is improving very rapidly,!.’ said he. “Our city is growing fn im portance every year. I think that another season will find us the second cotton shipping port iu the United States. We nave erected a new cotton compress in- the place of the one we hnd destroyed by fire. This machine gives us advantages of packing and loading which no other seaport lias we pack the cotton with it ready ftir shipping, so that we do away with the cotton jammers which were indispensable under the old method. With tins new improvement we put one-third more cotton into the same space than before, And at a much less cost. This cnubles us to do the work of packing much cheaper than by any other process ami makes us a successful competitor for the cotton that used to go in other direc tions. It is a labor-saving as well as money-saving machine. But apart from the commercial value of our new cot ton shipping advantages, it adds to our im portance ns a shipping port in many ways. The future of Norfolk is assured. We were never more sanguine of growth and pros perity than at the present time. Onr truck gardening interests are growing every day, as is also our fish and oyster trade. Besides the best harbor on tiie southern Atlantic coast Norfolk presents climatic and other conditions that are bound to make her an important place.” THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE. tinny Komoruh HHuk Mafic ami llemocralH Pul In. Special to the Courier-Journal. New York. June 14.—The employes in the custom house are all in a state of trepidation and uncertainty. Many re movals have been recently made, and when a cause was sought, the answer was, “No particular cause.” In nearly all cases the § laces of republicans have been filled by emocrats who have passed the civil ser vice examination. The extension of the “available” list has enubled appoint ments to be made without the collector being compelled, as formerly, to take the first four. Those who are conversant with the nature of the re movals said to-day that before next elec tion there will not be a “straight out re publican in the custom house. They re gard the changes as nothing more than what was to be expected. Collector Hed- den, smilingly said: “With so many men in one office, and deaths, resignations and removals cropping out every day, there must be some changes. It is all nonsense for the papers to make any fuss about it.” In reference to the coming examinations, to lie conducted by Deputy Collectors Berry and Davis, assisted by the collectors’ private secretary, Mr. Parker, it is under stood that the law will be stretched to its utmost limit in order to permit of the pro motion of those who have proved them selves “qualified” by services for the party. The question of “offensive partisan ship” in their cases will have to be left for ■Miothei adininistratihn to adjudicate wpon. The Er.lectlc Medical Association. Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—The National Eclectic Medical Association is holding its sixteenth annual session in this city at De- Give’s opera house. Mayor Hillyer wel comed the association in behalf of the city, and Secretary Wilder responded. Several committees were appointed and twenty- seven new members received. The at tendance is large, every state in the union being represented. The convention will be in session till Friday. A Tli'liet Nomlnatofi. Nashnille, Tenn., June 16.—The re publican state judicial convention met here yesterday and nominated a full ticket of five judges of the supreme court. Ninety- five out of ninety-six counties in the state were reprerented by over 700 delegates,the basis of representation being one vote for each 200 cast for Blaine. The candidates nominated were W. U. Baxter, Samuel Watson, J. A. Warder, W. W. Murray and W. M. Randolph. IuipriNOiiiiK'iit for Ihfiit. Albany, N. Y., June 16.—The governor has signed the act promoted by Erastus Lyman and others amending the law re garding imprisonment for debt. Hereafter six months is to be the limit of imprison- ! merit on arrests in civil actions,and the op eration of the law releases within five days I all prisoners in Ludlow street jail, New ! York, and elsewhere, who have been in- I carcerated beyond six months. Till* President's Salary. Baltimore American. A great deal of talk has been occasioned by the mention of the fact that the presi dent always used new money. Some peo ple laughed at the idea that he handed a crisp new $10U bill to Dr. Sunderland for his marriage fee, ami again, that he put a I crisp new $5 bill in the collection plate at the Oakland church. People said, “ Why, the president must have money made es- ' pecially for him.” The truth is, the presi dent always receives new notes direct from the treasury. He never gets old notes, ex- I cept in change when be pays a bill or makes a purchase. The United States treasurer, on the last day of each 1 month, sends the president his salary— $4,166.66—the odd change in bright new silver and copper cents, and the notes all new and of the latest issue. Mr. Cleve land, like bis predecessors, keeps a private bank account with Riggs & Co., and the day after he gets ids salary he makes a de- ! posit, reserving enough to pay current ex penses. It is said that his account has shown as large a balance as $35,000, as he has an income besides his official salary. Before he entered public life, he . made ! from $10,000 to $15,000 a year by his prac tice, and his expenses were not more than $2500. He has saved much of liis first year’s salary, but now that lie is married his expenses will increase. A sin*ri*ss 1'u 1 MaimliirliiriT. Lumber World. I Buck in the early ’50s a man went into a Philadelphia hardware store and called for I a carpenter’s saw. Laying the saw fiat oil the tips of his fingers and bringing it up to the level of his eye, he glanced down tin- blade. said it wasn’t a good saw, and, slam ming it flat on the counter, shivered it. ■•My name,” he said, “is Henry Disston, and here is a saw I defy any man to break in that way.” From that time Disston’s saws had a show in that hardware house. A recent writer states that the works es tablished by this man now turns out each year 2.6!)2,<i00 single saws, 3810 large and 39 000 small circular saws, 1,250,000 long ! saws and 201,500 dozen flies, besides large, quantities of the miscellaneous tools made in the jobbing department. One thousand three hundred and thirty-four men are em ployed, and the pay-roll is $17,000 a week. I In- Colliire (iinilmite. New York Sun. A graduate fresh from college is pretty I sure to be one of the most awkward re cruits who can be brought into a newspa per office. In the first place, he is very immature. Then not one graduate in a i hundred has an English education which 1 can be called at all thorough. Until he is trained anew, not one in a hundred is cap- i able of doing good literary service in any I single department. He has also lived so I far apart from the world and its affairs i that he knows next to nothing about what is going on among men and what - interests and moves them. HE DID IT FOR A JOKE. A Ynaag Maa Knar Months In .1*11 Ac,'list'd of Mnnlor—Thf Johor Held as a Witness. | Dedham, Mass., June 14.— Since last | | January a young man named Lyons has i been kept in solitary confinement in the : county jail at this place awaiting trial on the charge of murder. In the same insti tution, though allowed greater liberty, is a young fellow named Kirby, upon whose \ testimony Lyons was arrested and charged with the crime. The murder was one of i the most brutal that has ever been recorded in Massachusetts. Last Christmas an old lady living alone in Foxboro was chopped to pieces ill or.der to get at an old pocket under her dress supposed to contain $16. | Suspicion at once rested upon a young woman who worked for her. Soon alter | the murder Kirby told the police that j Lyons had confessed the deed to him. ' It, now turns out that he thought it would 1 ho a good joke to scare his friend Lyons a I little. He manufactured the yarn, but lie told such a straightforward story at the 1 preliminary bearing that Lyons was at ■ i once held for the grand jury. Kirbv says I he wanted to tell the truth when tie ap i peared before the grand jury, hut tic be- | came frightened, and did not dare to do it. Then lie became so excited that he did not I know what he did say. This story is told by a prisoner who was discharged from thi jail this morning. Tilts man says Kirby j has suffered a great deal since he lias been in jail. Kirby told him thut if he really ■ thought anything would happen to Lyons he would shoot himself. The police have no evidence against Lyons except that fur- , nished by Kirby. Under those clrcum- ! stances no will doubtless be released at . once. biles f\f new docket and flOO hales nf old dockeVT^ 'J I".

(tintruer Hill Vetoes the Measure by Which Mr. Xooiiey Was to Appoint a Men Hoard. Albany, June 14.—Governor Hill has vetoed the notorious Nooney excise bill. It was, with the exception of the bill increas ing the commissioners and the expense Of the new aqueduct work, the worst product of this year’s legislature. For weeks the lobbies in the new capitol were, besieged by the scum politicians of both parties front this city, (ill,, working tooth and nail to secure the passage of this bill. There never was any attempt to conceal the fact that the measure was the result of a deal between, the second- class republicans and the subordinates in Tammany and Irving halls, concocted by republicans who hoped to contifiue and in crease John J. O’Brien’s power tiy playing upon that antipathy to Mayor Grace, which had already gone to such lengths in Albany as to gain sympathy Tor him in quarters where iiad previously been with out friends. The mayor had appointed anew board, and the oid board had begun its light to continue in place. John J. O’Brien was credited with getting the magic of a re publican vote on occasions from a district naturally democratic by means of his influ ence with the old excise board, and it was understood In Albany a month ago that not only was he anxious for more power with the board that President Nooney was to appoint under the new law, but that if the bill did not pass and Mayor Grace’s new board should triumph over the old one. John J. O’Brien would be apt to cut a much smaller figure in politics than ever before. In partial confirmation of this, O’Brien was daily seen in the lobbies buttonholing the senators and assemblymen, and weii backed up by the constant presence of Sheridan Shook, Robert G. McCord, Jacob Patterson and others. It was understood that the new board was already selected, whether by O’Brien or Nooney was not j stated, and thut Nicholas Huughtofl’s name was to lead the rest. But it does not matter now. If O’Brien’s future depended on the bill it is a very dim and unpleasant one to-day, for the governor sees neither reason nor rhyme iu the bill. He says, in his veto message, that the gov ernor should not interfere to settle legiil disputes between claimants to public of fice. “I am clearly of the opinion,” he says, “that under the provisions of chapter 43 of the laws of 1884, the mayor had the right to appoint excise commissioners with out confirmation. That board should not be displaced merely because the old board chooses to dispute this view and because the old commissioners insist upon acting after their terms have expired.” He says the bill appears to be a temporary expe dient, cunningly devised, to deprive the present mayor of his prerogative, and it recognizes the propriety of such power being lodged in the chief executive of the city, by providing that he shall fill all vacancies In the very board appointed by j the president of the aldermen, and that future mayors shall make all future ap pointments. l'lic Suscrl|itioii tail'd.
