THE OPELIKA THA8EDY.
Letter from Hr. George W.
Hooper.
A Vigorous and Eloquent De
fense of a Young Lady.
Omni, Ala., May 25, 1871.
To the Editors or the Herald:
In your paper of thu date appears a com
munication signed.“Opelika," grossly calami-
niating a yonng lady of this city nnder pre
tense of relating facts connected with the
Phillips-Hooper collision.
Although the facts are falsely stated as to
the immediate incidents ot that collision, and
as to the various points connected with them,
I do Dot desire to make any counter state
ment for various reasons, bnt principally be
cause the matter is undergoing judicial in
vestigation.
Bnt I am, and have been for a nnmber of
years the gnardian of the yonng lady referred
to and who has been made the subject of
a base and inhnman fabrication. She always
has been, snd always will continue to be
an intimate, valued and respected friend and
visitor of my family. She has no father nor
brother; nor any male relation residing near
her. She is as pare and ss good as the purest
and best in all onr land, and her character is
well known among the refined and the vir
tuous.
I do not mention her name because it is not
fit that it should be so mentioned as to pain
her—as yet, the one person most unconscious
of the slander—or her relatives. Bnt os her
guardian and next friend, I demand the name
of the author of “Opelika.” And I readily
sign my name with the authority and request
to publish my letter.
Here I had designed to conclude, and per
haps here I ought to stop; bnt pardon me if
I feel constrained to add a line.
For a period of years exceeding those of
the life of my young ward, her family have
been tried and trusted friends of my father's
family. For seven years past we have seen
the widowed mother and young daughters,
who all had been born to ease and opulence,
and nurtured with social and intellectual cul
ture, reduced suddenly to comparative pov
erty. We have seen them sustaining them
selves in that honorable poverty by the labors
of the needle and the school-room, aud by the
unassisted cares (too severe for their delicate
frames) ot the household. We have been
witnesses of their unaccustomed economy,
of their noble integrity and their lofty inde
pendence. We have seen all this, and seen it
only to honor and admire.
It was into such a domestic circle that the
font breath of slander penetrated in the shape
of a lie, which, by its very extreme audacity
and impudence stunned and marred the
bearer, while its horrid and monstrous de
tails furnished to any one having a modicum
of common sense and observation, its own
refutation. We feel right well assnred that
it has not lost and will not loss to the ma
ligned family, one single valued friend. Bnt
what then ? How delicate the sensibilities of
a s oman’s honor!
We have jnst seen the resolnte courage
which met penury snd labor with undaunted
front, drop onder|a most preposterous accusa
tion; we have seen the anxious faces of the
sisters; we have seen the sleepless aud
agonized mother hovering around her
young daughter recently sick to keep from
her the knowledge of the imputation
scared lest even friendly voices may convey
deadly sounds to a fragile frame.
One of ns—my young brother—may, in
endeavoring to crush the slander, have acted
wisely or unwisely, discretely or indiscretely.
He is amenable to the laws of God and man.
He is upon bis trial, and may God defend the
right But any legal or moral criticism in
any newspaper, on his oondnet, should be
disconnected with the slightest imputation
against the yonng lady, whom, on this occa
sion and on all others, it is my pride and hon
or to defend. Any proof against her on the
trial we at once invite and defy.
Respectfully,
Geo. W. Hooper.

attempt to ahoot her uncle, Oswald Ncack, a wholesale
boot and shoe upper manufacturer, on the 14th of

ing obtained a warrant for the arrest of her uncle,
charging him with abusive conduct, she proceeded
with an officer to his place of business, 146 West
Baltimore street, to identify him. The officer made
the arrest, and while coming down stairs with the
prisoner, in company with Mrs. McKee, she suddenly
drew a double barreled pistol from under bor shawl
and fired two shots, one tall taking effect in the back
and the other in the calf of his right leg—wounds not
nocessarily painful. Mrs. McKee was arrested.

The Minis try haa resigned and Thiera accepted
their resignation aad resigned himself, when Marshal
McMahon was elected President. There were some
cries around the hall, bnt no violence.
Pabis, May 25, 1873.
The resignation of President Thiers, and the elec
tion of Marshal McMahon to succeed him, caused
5 excitement here. The streets were crowded
all the evening with people, discussing the events of
the day, but no disturbance is anticipated.
The change in the Presidency was accomplished
without any disturbance, and perfect order prevails
throughout France. The troops have been confined
to their barracks since yesterday morning, but all is
quiet in Paris, and there is no signs of disorder in
the departments. The Radical journals to day are
in their tone, aud they recommend prudence
and wisdom on the pert of the Republicans, and urge
and a strict adherence to the law. Qambetta
bae issued a manifesto calling on the Republicans to
taped the law.
Marshal MaMahon has sent a communication to
Buffet, President of the Assembly, acknowledging the
receipt of official notification of hia election to the
Presidency, and accepting the office on the following
terms:
’I will obey the will of the Assembly, the deposi
tory of the national sovereignty. It is a heavy re
sponsibility. With God’s aid and the devotion of the
army, I will continue the work of liberating the terri
tory and restorin^order, and will maintain tranquil
lity and the principles on which society rests. To
this I pledge my word as an honest man and soldier.”
President Thiers has issued a circular to Prefects of
Departments promising that no attack should be rasde
on the tows and institutions of the country.
The formation of a new government has not yet
been completed, and it is said that Puke DeBroglie
will have the Ministry of Interior, and Pierrmayue
that of Finance, and that Caror de Sarcy, M. M. En-
nonl, and Balbie will enter the Cabinet.
A portfolio was tendered to Goulsrd, late Minister of
Finance, Immediately after President Thiers’ deposi
tion, but he declined it.
Large numbers of Republican functionaries have
resigned.
Pa&is, May 26, 1873.
The text of McMahon’s address was, “I have been
called through the confidence of the National Assem
bly to the Presidency of the Republic. No immediate
change will be made in the existing laws, regulations
and institution. I rely upon material order, and I
count upon you—upon your vigilance and your patri
otic assistance. ”
The scenes weTe extremely exciting in the National
Assembly chamber pending the discussion which re
sulted in the deposition of Thiezs.
Lord Lyons. British Minister, was not present, be
ing engaged In giving a dinner and reception in honor
of Queen Victoria’s birthday.
Many celebrated women of Napoleon’s Court, as weft
as of the Republic, occupied conspicuous placet and
remained until the political change was consummated.
As soon as the vote was taken deposing Thiers, repre
sent »tivss from different counties immediately left the
chamber, and telegraphed the news to their respective
governments. Thiers sat s close watcher of events,
and constantly using the exclamation, "Oh, Bien,
Messieurs!” Once he caused immense excitement
when he said, they have spoken of negotiations, when
it has occurred to me that they only wanted the
government to be transferred to Paris, but the army
would not enter there. I have expelled them in or.
der to prevent shedding streams of human blood a^
the expense of the army. If there is a man who
counts this effect—the effusion of blood—it is myself.
I have fallen, or rather wish to say we have fallen, for
a long time. I had hoped this detestable faction—(the
close of the sentence was lost in a tremendous up
roar, which the beginning bad excited.) Again did
Thiers wake the enthusiasm ef his friends, when,
charged with being a protege of Radicalism, he re
torted, there was something more remarkable than
that in their midst—they had with them the Duke
De Broglie, who was a protege of the Empire.
No fear of a.disturbance is apprehended in Paris.
The people on Sunday attended in great numbers
th' Chantilly races, giving themselves up to pleasures,
and caring little, seemingly, for politics.

No disorders have occurred in any portion of the
country in consequcace of the change in the govern
ment. Dispatches from all sections report tran

Only half of the troops sre now held in their bar

Several Orleans Princes were present in the Assem

Theirs has informed the members of the left centre
that he will resume his seat in the Assembly to-mor
row, and will take his place on their benches accom
panied by the tote Ministers Dufaare, Perier and Leon
Say. The whole Left has decided upon the policy of a
constitutional opposition to the new government.
President McMahon sent a message to the Assem
bly to-day. It uas read by Duke DeBroglie. The
President says:
I am animated by respect for your wishes, snd will
alwsys scrupulously exscute them. The National As-
bly baa two great tasks: The liberation of territo-
nd the restoration of order. The first was ably
conducted by my predecessor, with heroic patience;

WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Msy 2G, 1873.
The Court of Clsims rendered the following judg
ments for cotton seized by General Sherman’s forces
at the time of the capture of Savannah, aud sold by
the United State*:
In favor of William Battersby, $87,014; in favor of
r ss. Battersby and Andrew Lowe, $3,940; in favor of
Wm. Battersby and Octavius Cohen, $7,881; in favor
of Wm. Battersby and the executors of Thos. S. Met
calf, $486,242, the totter being the largest single judg
ment ever rendered by the Court of Claims. Batters
by is an alien subject of Great Britain, who has re
sided for thirty years in Savannah. The other parties
are citizens of Georgia.
The cotton claim of Wm. S. Miller, another British
subject, was dismissed on the ground that cotton, for
which he sued wss purchased by him outside of the
Union lines, snd in vioption of the regolstions then
in force. Judgment was rendered for $156,564 in
favor of Charles Green, of Savannah, also a British
subject. The main question in the esse whether an
alien domiciled daring the rebellion within the insur
rectionary States could be guilty of the crime of treas
on against the United States. The Court of Claims,
following a decision of the United States Su
preme Court at its last term decides this ques
tion affirmatively; but also holds under the
i decision that aliens thus guilty
of treason by failing to observe their obligations of
qualified allegiance, were included in and pardoned
by the President’s Amnesty Proclamation of Decem
ber 25th, 1868. A decision wss rendered in a long
pending case of Eliza J. Atchva, administratrix of
Alex. Atchva, deceased. He was a native of Spain,
but a naturalized citizen of the United States, who did
business as s banker in the City of Mexico snd was
expelled from that country during the revolution of
1845, which overthrew the government of Santa Anna.
The United States having by a treaty of Guadaloupe
Hidalgo, assumed the claims of its own citizens against
Mexico. Atchya presented a claim fot losses caused
by his expulsion and it was rejected by
the Commissioners appointed to examine such claims
Subsequent, in 1865, Congress referred the claim to
this court which now renders judgment in favor of
Atchva against the United States for $207,469.37, be*
ing the balance ot the 3;* millions provided for by
the treaty ot Goadsioup Hidalgo for the payment of
the claims of citizens of the United States against the
Government of Mexico which now remains unappro
priated to that object.
Judgments were also rendered for $92,698 in favor
of Wm. W. Cones, of Memphis, lor cotton seized by
the government, and in favor of Harvey k Leviaey for
$42,306 for work and damages in building
bridge for the government at Rock Island. In the
case of the executors of Jno. J. Piatt, a claim for
supplies furnished in the army iu the war of 1812,
the court found that the Government waa justly in
debted to Piatt to the-amount of $131,6o9; but were
equally divided upon a subsequent question, namely,
whether a payment of part of the debt under a private
act of Congress does not bar a recovery for the bal-
now. Mr. Piatt after pressing this claim on the
Government for many years, died in the debtors
prison in this city.
The court, after hearing the argument in the Hot
Springs cases, adjourned till next Monday, when an
adjournment will probably be ordered in October.

TEXAS.
San Antonio, May 26,1873.
Advices from llio Grande say that nothing extraordi
nary has occurred since the raid. McKinnie reached
Fort Clarke with his command and prisoners _ last
Wednesday. Th6 prisoners were forwarded to San
Antonia. Great excitement on the Mexican aide.
The great population were indignant and calls were
made for volunteers to intercept McKeunie, but he
recrossed the river in Bafety. The Indians are repre
sented to be assembling on the bank, vowing destruc
tion to the residents on the Texas side and notifying
the Mexicans to leave the ranches and cross the river,
lest they be murdered among those to be attacked.
A strong assemblage of Sipans, contiguous to the
Rio Grande are reported ostensibly to treat with the
Mexican’s frontier. The residents have grave appre
hensions. It is thought the excitement of the Mexi
cans will subside as it is reported that several of the
leaders among the frontier Mexicans are exercising
their influence to preserve peace, even favoring a co
operation of Mexicans with the United States treops
when the attacking Indians are on their camping
grounds.

The strike of carpenters for eight hours wss not
general. A committee was appointed to visit ill the
shops so the police, on the alert, coaid prevent any
interference.
The strike of journeymen carpenters has not be
come general, though a large number of men
are idle, and they seem confident that the bosses have
to quickly concede the eight honr system to the
whole trade. Many employees, on the contrary, say
the men have taken an inopportune moment for the
present agitation, as on account of the duUneas sea-
, they can afford to close their shops for an indefi
nite period.
Scores of non-society man sre at work, aad are
promised protection in case of attack.
The movement of the society of carpenters is
directed, in a great measure, against ten large plaining
mills, employing about six hundred hands, and
whose owners recently determined to repel the
attempt to change the hours of labor, and to-day I
announce their intention to stick to their resolution.
The leaders of the men vehemently sessrt that every
man laboring ten hours must oooform to th* sight
hoar rule or leave the city. A number of boss
Carpenters and builders present at the Mechanic's
and Trader’s Exchange this morning stated the trade
stagnant with nearly 60 per cent, of the carpenters
unemployed in consequence of efforts to enforce tha
sight hour tow, those at work being paid forty cents
per hour for 10 boars* work, which th# non laborsrs
regard as infringing on th# right hour tow, and en
deavor to indues others to strike. The latest rvport Is
that the bosses will hold a meeting to-morrow, and
that some of them are working to bring About an
agreement to discharge each men as sent ia the de
mand tor the right hoar system.
