ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL 21, 1870.
Tho colored men of Lonurille has celebra
ted the ratification of the XYth Amendment
The celebration ms generally attended, and
the mottoes and speeches of the oceaaion show
bow rain are the hopes of the Democracy that
it may share the colowd rate. The following
are arc some of the instances:
A transparency with a representation of a
fox devouring a dead chicken, inscribed, “So
let it be with the Democracy;" or “Whisky
and cigars win not boy ns;”-or “The high
tone and glory of the Democrats are gone;” or
“How are the patient Democrats?” or “We
are Bepnblicana from principle; ” or “Wo rote
as we fought;" or “Ho, boy! no boy since the
15th!" or “The Republicans will carry the
State;” or “ We will remember onr Mends at
the polls;” or “We want no white-washed Dem
ocrats;" or “Whisky and sugar won’t buy ns;'
or “Democracy, Shoo Fly! Don't Bodder Me.'
If the Democracy can extract any comfort
from these demonstrations, they must be in a
rasy. cheerful condition of mind.

"uu nr."
Are you tired of hearing about her? I have
to-night to tell you the saddest and stateliest
story yet.
To begin at the beginning:
A lady the height of the Medieean Vanns,
voluptuously developed, with a grace in her
carnage that has inspired terrible passion, ar
istocratic hands and feet, plain, plaited hair,
eyes of fire, and melancholy and passionate
memories; a skin like a Spamab senorita, and
the voice of a cultivated English woman—such
is Mrs. D ; in Southern patois, a “white
niggerP
As calmly as I can, with every nerve quiver
ing under the lost outrage her life of outrages
has received, let me tell yon her story.
She is the offspring of one of those un
natural passions which formed the atmosphere
of boudoir, os well se cabin, in the South be
fore the surrender. Her lather was a negro.
Her mother was pure Virginian, is yet before
the world a maiden lady, and her name is one
of the few Southern names which will be kept
historic, by its conspicuous connection with
radical Republicanism. If I were to write it
here, it would be at once recognised sea name
which has been more than once printed in cap-
itals in the Woman’s Journal while it was the
agitator, and which is mentioned from the
Golden Gate to Boston Harbor with respect,
not unmingled with that passionate sympathy,
human nature, at its average development,
has with human nature at its noblest
“Now, yon would sooner expect to find the
amorous tone and glow of Pyscbe's eyes be
neath the magnificent, pom brow of Artemis,
than unlawful passion in the renowned and vir
tuous Miss M ; and I am not sure but that
I am among those who believe that the secret
moment when a long time ago this infant soul
was gifted with day, was a moment rather
pyschichsl than physical. At least, I insist, if
there is any embrace of which the world is
called upon to believe this, it is the embrace
that created that love child whose lace yet is
the face of beanty, bnt whose soul is the soul
of despair.,.
At seventeen, Mary, such was the name of
the child, possessed not only a mind carefully
trained by her mother, with a training thr.t
surpassed the schools, fbut also marvelous
beauty ; wit, which .became too often venom
nnder the sting of a passionate temper, hers
by inheritance, and all the attractions of ac
complishments and a refined politeness.
It is strange that Mr. Woodbury, who is
announced as a regular correspondent of The
Constitution, whose Proprietors we pre-
tome pay him liberally for his services, should
thus save hie raciest eflhaions for a Boston
journal, and then justify this strange prefer
ence by an assumption that no paper in this
section (not even The Constitution) would
open its oolumns to a stosy at once so truthful
and thrilling 1 We indeed bear (by grapevine)

She began teaching again; was employed

persecutions still followed her, and citizens of
Chattanooga—I know (Um—inflamed by her
beauty and apparent helplessness, instigated
troubles in her school until she was compelled
to withdraw. She was insulted doily by these
creatures in human guise, and informed if she
did not take their protection they would
starve her. She, however, obtained work aa a
general house servant; and more recently,
as chambermaid on a Tennessee river boat.
Inst Thursday, (Jan. 13th) the boat came in

lified and did not scrapie to persecute her on
every possible occasion. While herself and
husband were in Atlanta, Dr. IaghthiU had
caused a woman living in New York to make
affidavits that said woman was her husband’s
wife; that he had subsequently written a let-
ter to her husband accusing her of infidelity
end improper intimacy with a person with
whom she never did, nor would, nnder any
circumstances whatever, associate. For this
reason, and for the infamous letter he had
written to her husband with a view of pro
ducing their separation, in which he finally
succeeded, she then vowed that if ever he came
within her reach she would give him a cow-
hiding.
She heard last Wednesday that he was in
Murfreesboro, where he was expected to re
main several days. Having purchased a cow
hide and two pistols, one of which she carried
in her pocket and the other in her belt, she
vrent to Murfreesboro. Fortunately for him,
he happened not to be there. She returned
to Nashville, and, having heard Friday that
Dr. IaghthiU had gone back to Murfreesboro,

her arrival at that place she took a carriage

Gen. Thorn** m * Mun of Veracity.
Got. Palmer, in his Chicago address on Gen.
Thomas, narrated the following: “ If I may
be allowed to speak of trifling things this even
ing, I may tell one, as illustrative of my own
views—an incident that happened at Washing
ton on the Fourth of July, 1866. I was on
Pennsylvania avenue, and attended a soldier s
lair. There was a sword put up, one of those
innocent yet ingenious devices by which stingy
men are made liberal for good purposes—
there was an election of a sword for tne most
popular General of the army. There was a
long list of noble names inscribed, with the
number of votes each had received marked op-
S xrite his name. I remember to have chain
ed the list 1 was pressed to vote;and I took
ont whatever sum of money was necessary, and
I gave it to the lady who was receiving the bal
lot^ and said to her, T cart five votes for
George H. Thomas.’ Some man said to
•Sir, why do yon vote thus? Thomas is not
the equal of Grant; Thomas is not the equal
of Sherman; Thomas is not the equal of How
ard;' and be went on and gave me a long list
of his superiors. There was nothing in the
manner of the person that I thought entitled
him to any peculiar respect, and I laughed and
said to him, 'Why, my dear sir, the war is
over, and we are beginning to vote as we
please.* Said he, 'Tell me—I want to know,
sir—why it is you vote for General Thomas.’
'Well, sir,* said I, *for one reason, if no other.
He has not told or written a lie since the be-
(of toe war. [Applause.] There were

come to regard General Thomas as being the
possessor of nbontall the truth there is tho

The Tomb of President Polb.
Nashville Letter to the Tiffin (O.) Advertiser.]
To-day I visited the tomb of President Polk.
He is buried in the door-way about midway
between his late residence and the street
Everything around the residence and tomb is
very plain and unpretending. I met Mrs.
Polk in her yard ana was cordially invited to
view her late husband's premises. She is a
very sociable lady, and she made numerous
inquiries about Ohio men who were in Con
gress during Mr. Polk's administration, and
flmnfTg the number was our old friend Hon.
Henry St John. She had not heard of his
death, and jrma grieved to hear that he was no
more. She picked me a bouquet of flowers
which I hope I may aave until I get home.
As President Polk had no children, he willed
his residence to the State of Tennessee as o
Governor's residence at the death of his wife.
It is close to the capital building, and is al
ready looked upon and visited by strangers as
public property.
LABOR Ilf CALIFORNIA.
A Surfeit.
From the San Fnmdeco Alta, March 29.]
We may soon expect to see numbers of la
borers coming from the East in search of work;
they should understand that the supply of un
skilled labor in California, at present prices,
exceeds the demand. Fanners, with capital
enough to buy land and open farms, can do
well; and many brandies of manufacture
might be established here with a certainty that
they would be profitable in a few years, if not
immediately, mat business is in a transition
condition, and prices have not accommodated
themselves to fade changes. We see no pros
pect of steady employment for the laborers
now in this State for months to come. Our
rates of wages are nearly double those of Iowa
and Chicago, with which we come into compe
tition, and our industry languishes because
our competitors have an increased advantage
over us. Population cannot increase nor land
rise much in value till wages decline, so that
steady employment can be given to all comers.
Senator Bcvdi nt Plymowtl* Church.
In New York on Sunday morning the colored
Senator Bevels went to Plymouth church,
(Beecher’s.) At the close of his sermon in the
morning, and when giving notice of the meet
ing to ratify the fifteenth .amendment at the
Brooklyn Academy of Music for Me nd:iy even
ing, Mr. Beecher said that he was grateful to
God for having spared hie life to eoe the day
on which the colored race could claim and ex
ercise all the privileges and rights of citizens
of the United States. A voice had gone forth
which gave them liberty, and the same
voice to-day invests them with the glorious
privilege of the franchise. Ten years since
they held the place of slaves, fearing to look
upon the bright face of the sun in the great
city of New York; but now, without a shadow
of fear, they rejoiced publicly over the procla
mation of their rights and privileges as citizens
of this great country. The church was unusu
ally crowded at both morning and evening
services.

of any companion whose conversation was on
a plane with her own cultivated mind, and
whoso bearing, even to her watchful sensitive
ness, seemed never conscious of the presence of
base blood in tho cheek, which anon could

Her lover saw his advantage, and pressed it

superiority, was nothing to him who won.

was constantly in her society. When alarmed
sho would request him to intermit his atten

only in tho village, but also, which concerned
her more, among tho colored people, accus
tomed to associate only base motives with
such companionship, bis answering would
surround her with an atmosphere of truth
about rights of friendship so pleasant and so
pure, that she could not perceive its poison
only arose from tho locality in which it was
breathed.
Nevertheless, the same purity of soul which
rendered her susceptible to his intellect, ren
dered her almost impervious to his lust. He
sought a receptacle, he found a soul. And
the soldier was more than once vexed to con
fess to himself that his evil wooing was more
difficult, and perhaps more hopeless, than it
would have been even with any ono of those
native Georgians whose eyes adored his hand
some face, even if they could not understand
his quotations. Half in angry disappointment,
half in the presence of an undefined, mysteri
ous, almost awful apprehension he was not
analtic enough to discover, he took a great
oath he would conquer her, and, one day, not
as he had calculated at first, offering a safe
and secret contract, which he would have ob
served to the letter, but in a far more intoxica
ting paroxysm of love, he threw himself at her
feet and told her she had awakened tremen
dous passion which she only could gratify.
Mary listened to this wild confession, which
was at once her shame and his despair, in an
agony which we men can only know as we
know her love, by hearsay. She well nigh
fainted, and was only recovered to a sense of
her danger—a danger heightened by the fact
that at this resistless moment she, for the
first time, learned that she loved him with all
her nature—by his clinging embrace of her,
and by the hot kisses he rained upon her hair,
her eyes and her lips.
She sprang from his embrace, and held him
at bay with her thin, light, undefended hands,
nerved like those of the sinless knight with
the strength of ten, for one moment, and then,
choking with pain and intense shame, fled
like a bird. In a frenzy of remorse he pursued
her, humbled himself in her presence, when
after days he gained it, told her he loved her
not in sense bnt in soul, that he could not
live away from her or with her contempt—all
burning words that may bring reparation. In
spite of her love she discouraged his addresses
as she had before rejected him. He persevered,
honorably, purely wooing her, and—they were
married.
Heaven pronounced no curse upon this mar
riage. The curse came from tho society in
which they lived—a very different quarter.
The calumnies and suspicions of the commu
nity soon rendered life insupportable, and
D 1 resigning, accompanied his wife into
Northern Georgia. Hero he obtained some
rough work, and she continued to teach in
one of the Atlanta schools, under the auspices
of the Bureau. The couple were chased by scan
dal, the school was taken from her; Ins work
from him. They prayed, wept and consulted
together. It was plain that Southern antipa
thies, to which Northern laws were porcelain,
would not permit Caucasian and negro, (if the
faintest infusion of inferior blood names the
race) live as a man and wife. They agreed that
thev would separate, and, for both wero by this
time wretchedly poor, earn money with which
to go North or west-
Mrs. D camo to Chattanooga and
opened a small school, into which she intro
duced with Taro facility some of the more
modem methods of teaching. Tho young
husband engaged himself as a day laborer on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad.
After a time he yielded to a natural, bnt per
haps, at the time, a weak, impulse to be with
Ills wife, and one Saturday, a few weeks ago,
he sought her presence. He remained with
her in the negro hut where sho was. hoarding
until Monday morning, when he relumed to
his work. They informed the negro tfcr s they
were married, but his suspicions were awaken
ed, he confided the matter to others, it was
noised about; two white citizens of Chatta
nooga —I know them—went up to "look her
over? she was appiehended and cast into the
prison, whence deliverance was promised her
by the turnkey, only on insulting terms. The
time for trial came, when, without lawyer mid
without friends, she plead her own case, exhib-
ing and resistless. Perhaps it may be a charm
more penetrative that even that with which, in
the New Idyls, Vivien conquered Merlin in the
mazy wildwood of Brocilande.
Although the above crowning of outrages to
her whose very birth, alas! was outrage, hap
pened—no, resulted logically—Iasi Thursday,
there has not been tho least mention of it in
the Chattanooga city papers. And there will
not be, in any paper, save (his. It is hushed.

A WOMAN ON HER MUSCLE.
Dr. E. Hanford Llglitbill Publicly Cow-
bided by a Notorious Courtesan—A Mur
freesboro Mob Cheer Her On—Disgraceful
Scenes.
From tbo Nashville Banner.]
The little city of Murfreesboro was thrown
into a terrible state of excitement Friday eve
ning, over an affair of which the following
statements are made by the parties chiefly con
cerned :
DR. E. BUXFOBD LIOHTHILL's STATEMENT.
Hr. Lighthill called at the Banner office
yesterday, and stated to one of the editors
that, about 6 p. in., Lost Friday,he was en
gaged with a patient in his office at the City
Hotel, Murfreesboro, when word was brought
him that a lady was waiting outside who was
exceedingly anxious to soe him. He intima
ted that the call could not be attended to just
then, but that he would be out as soon as he
hod gotten through with the matter then in
hand. He had hardly finished speaking be
fore a tall woman, whom he at once recog
nized as Mrs. Emma Hines Foster, rushed
into the office, cried, "You are the scoundrel
who has separated me from my husband,”
and commenced lashing him with a cowhide.
The Doctor did not know how to act nnder the
embarrassing circumstances. He could not
strike a woman even in self-defense, and yet the
vigorous Assault she made upon him was more
than he could bear, so he hastened from the of
fice along the hall into the dining room, where
the boarders were then taking supper. He was
followed by Mrs. Footer, who appealed to and
secured the sympathies of those present by
stating that the Doctor was a vile wretch,
who mid come between her and her husband.
She seized him by the hair and made another
assault upon him—he, at the time, striving
only to protect himself and making no effort
to injure her. Finally, a constable came in
and arrested Mrs. Foster. While the case
was being investigated before ’Squire Clark,
and the doctor was off his guard, Mrs. Foster
suddenly turned upon him and struck him
under the left eye with—as was subsequently
stated to the doctor—brass knuckles. The
blow caused a severe swelling and resulted in
an aggravated case of what is known as a
"black eye.” Dr. Lighthill complains that
his assailant was fined only three dollars, and
that the feeling in the crowd appeared to be
entirely in her favor, while he had committed
no offense whatever either against her or any
body else, and was acting only on the defen
sive. He further declares that "Dr.” Jerome
B. Foster, whom Mrs. Foster claimed aa her
husband, and whom she captured and carried
away from Murfreesboro, is a worthless, un
principled fellow, whom he had repeatedly dis
charged from his service; that he refused to
have anything to do with Foster after he had
made the notorious marriage here about this
time last year, bnt that he came across Fos
ter in New Orleans last September, ut
terly destitute, and was persuaded to re-engage
him; that Foster was to remain in New Or
leans while the doctor paid a business visit to
Louisville, but that Foster, instead of so doing,
came back to Nashville and went to keeping
bar for his wife at the Half-Way House; that
he again met Foster about February 1 in New
York without a cent and hardly a r.ig to his
back; that Foster told him that he and his
Nushville woman had agreed upon a divorce;
that he would be a reformed mnu for the fu
ture, and that he had already returned to
Louise, the mother of the two children, who
was living in Brooklyn; that he therefore took
Foster for a last trial, but found ont after they
had reached Savannah that the rascal was cor
responding with both women; that when they
recently got to Atlanta, Foster was arrested
for an advertising debt to the Constitution
newspaper, and would have been sent to jail
if the doctor had not secured his release; that
Foster is a consummate scoundrel, has been
systematically deceiving his benefactor all the
time, has stuck to the Nashville Mrs. F. only
to get a support from her, while his affections
tians, she told the driver to go to Dr. Light-
hill and tell him that a lady, an invalid,
desired to see him. The driver having taken
the meesage to Dr. Lighthill, the latter
made particular inquiries regarding her ap
pearance, and told the Jehu to tell her that he
would be down to see her within a short time,
and that he was then occupied with a patient
She had fervently prayed that the time might
come when she could avenge her wrongs* and
when she found him within her grasp she be

lay, and involuntarily following out the dic
tates of her feelings, which had now become
wrought up to the highest pitch, she request

opened the door and when she had presented
herself Dr. Lighthill looked aghast She to’: .
him, "you’ve had your day and now HI have
mine,” drew the cowhide from the folds ol her
dress and struck him rapidly about the face.
At this treatment he turned and ran out of the
door, closing it after him, and ran as fast as his
legs would carry him through a long hall she at
his heels, into the dining-room where he called
upon all those eating sapper, "for God sake to
save him from this woman,” and to keep her
off When she got into the dining-room she
eanght him by the hair of the head, backed
him up against the wall, and, while she
whipped him well, told the astonished guests
why she did. Not satisfied with using r.he
cowhide, she strode him a violert blow in the
face with her fist, and, in doing so,'pealed the
skin off of one of her knuckles. An officer
then came to her and told her that, although
Dr. Lighthill might have deserved such pun
ishment, he would be compelled to arrest her.
She retired into a room, which Dr. Lighthill
shortly after visited with the intention of
pacifying her. She could not resist the temp
tation to go at him again, and on striking him
several times with the cowhide he fled out of
the door { and as he went she increased the
vclocity of his going by a severe and well-di
rected kick upon the seat of his unmentiona
bles. The little affair raised considerable excite
ment about the hotel, and as the officer ac
companied her from that establishment all
the ladies cried out at the bare idea of a wo
man being arrested, while the crowd greeted
her with enthusiastic cheers. The Magistrate’s
office was packed and jammed with a tremen
dous crowd, all eager to witness the investiga
tion. Dr. lighthill desired the case postpon
ed, but she persisted in having a trial then
and there; that he had no right to ask a con
tinuance for the reason that he had not caused
her arrest. On her making this statement the
crowd cried, "let the investigation go on,”
and all sorts of other expressions, mingled with
applause. On tho examination of thfc^f&Kt
witness ho stated that he did not see her strike
Dr. Lighthill, whereupon Dr. Lighthill ptft his
hand to his face and said to the court, T.:
’ere at mine eye. Does dish looks like she didn’t
strike me?” At this explanation tho crowd
burst out into a big laugh, and many cried
ont, " Let’s take him to the creek! to the creek!
to the creek! let him be ducked.” The Magis
trate fined her five dollars. Dr. Lighthill hav
ing then put in some of his insinuations re
garding her, she whipped him in the presence
of the court, and the assemblage cried out,
"Give it to him! Wr 11 pay your fine!” they
shouted quite loudly. Dr. Lighthill approach
ed her twice after that, and she whipped him
twice, which seemed greatly to amuse the spec
tators, who made the room ling with their deaf
ening applause. She had the sympathy of the
crowd, but she didn’t whip him for their ap
probation. It was for the gratification of a
sweet revenge. The magistrate promptly fined
her three dollars for each of her subsequent
offenses, which she as promptly paid. She
at one time took Dr. Lighthill by the ear
and commanded him to pay one of the fines,
bnt not with any real intention to make him
do it. It was for his humiliation and shame.
The whole affair was of very short duration.
When she had stopped paying fines and the
matter had ended, it was finished, so faros she
was concered, forever after. Dr. IaghthiU
caused her to pledge an officer that she would
not molest him when he got on the train at
three o’clock yesterday morning for Nashville,
and Dr. LigbthiU therefore came down to
Nashville. There was no use of her making
any such pledge, as she did not intend to mo
lest him further. She said that Dr. Lighthill
sent her a note yesterday morning, in which he
told her she would regret the manner in which
she had acted. She answered him that if ever
he dared to write her another note she would

Only a Calico Dress.
BY MART W. STANLEY GIBSON.
"Now do be reasonable, Jane. What if it is
bnt a little thing ? I tell yon in th*se days of
heavy taxes and war debts, and all ’he rest of
it, a man wants all the money he can rake and
scrape, and can’t afford to spend a cent on
anything that can be got along without -So
I guess you must get along withont your calico
dress, Jane, till times ore a little better.”
The young wife turned and looked at him,
dead? Good heaven! How could he ever learn
to live without her? Out from among the
flacid cows dashed Farmer Webb, and away
io went with long strides to the village store,
where the coveted calico dress was lying. A
pretty thing enough, with its snowy ground
and delicate sprigs of rosebuds; just tho thing
to set off Jane's rosy cheeks, and dark bright
eyes and jetty hair. He bought it, he paid for
it, and back he went to the farm house to find
Jane.
She was sitting in tho kitchen, in her own
favorite chair-—the morning’s work undone,
and her head resting on her clasped hands.
He heard her sob—he saw a bright tear steal
through the slender fingers, and down the
jreat, clumsy fellow went beside her, on his
cnee’s, package in hand.
"Jane, what is it? Don’t enr, Jane. You
shall have anything on earth that you want,
if you won’t cry.”
"Oh, I don’t want anything !” she sobbed.
Tm ready to do withont everything, if I
must. But it is hard to work day after day
for your good, Joriah, and then to be told—”
"That a new calico dress has just come home
for you,” he cried out in a trembling voice,
wiping his own tears away with the brown pa
per parcel. "Jane, I didn't mean to be cross—
and just look here.”
He sent the brown paper in every direction
as he spoke, and the snowy, rose-sprigged cal
ico fell over her knees in graceful folds.
"Oh, Josiah—you dear, good, dear Josiah
she exclaimed. "And you really thought of
me like this, and didn’t mean one word of Ml
you said! What a good-for-nothing little
wretch I was to doubt youl”
She smiled brightly at him through her
tears, and flinging her anus around his neck,
gave him a kiss worth five thousand calico
dresses, all told.
And home was bright again, and happy, and
the new dress was made and worn for many a
pleasant day thereafter. Bnt Josiah Webb
never forgot the lesson it had silently preached
to him; and he is to-day a fonder and a better
husband because of that trifling thing—only a
calico dress.

A Scrap of Biography—'Theory of the De
fense.
From the New York Star.]
The counsel for the defense rely largely upon
the effect the following theory will produce
when ingeniously worked up before the jury:
Mrs. McFarland was a Boston girl of hum
ble parentage. She had few advantages. She
u angry light in her blue eyes.
"ITfnot
not ask it again, if I never have another
thing to wear in my life, Josiah! I might have
had dresses enough, goodness knows—" she
checked herself suddenly, but in a moment
added, "Only a calico .dress! And to be re
fused! You get your house-work done very
cheap, Joriah. A hired girl would cost you
more than many calico dresses in the course of
the year! ”
With a bitter smile she left the room; and
Josiah Webb, muttering something that was
not exactly a blessing, snatched his hat and
darted out of the house into his farm yard,
where, for half an hour or so, he confided his
sentiments regarding womankind in general,
and his wife in particular, to a select audience
of a dozen cows.
And then Mr. Webb began to cool down,
and to see some reason in his wife’s remarks
and request, after alL
"You get your house-work done very cheap,
Josiah !” It was the keen truth of the remark
that had stung him so keenly.
"Well, it was cheap! To any hired girl,
capable of doing the doily work that Jane
turned off so readily, he must pay at least ir
dollar and a half per week. Would the work
be done then as Jane did it ? Would all things
be so neat and clean and orderly about his
house as now? Would there be need of
watching eyes and anxious hearts to see that
the hired girl earned the money which was
paid? Was there such need now?
What did Jane do, by the way ? Got break
fast, washed dishes, swept, made beds, and
put the house in apple-pie order from cellar
to garret, before twelve each day. Had din
ner—a nice one, too—smoking on the table
at twelve exactly, herself presiding, neatly
dressed, and with a pleasant smile. Set the
house in order again. Got tea at six, and
cleared np after it Washed, ironed, baked-;
made shirts and sheets and towels and table
cloths; made butter and cheese for the mar
ket; fed poultry; raised flowers for the autumn
show at tile fair ; knit stockings; turned, pitch
ed, contrived; took care of him in sic^co*,
and fussed and petted him in health. And for
all this he gave her what? She had asked a
little advance of wages—only a calico dress—
and had been refused!
Too bad! too bad! What if Jane should
be taken sick with the fever that was flying
about, and die and leave him! Could he spare
the money for her coffin and her shroud?
Why, what, what could lave put that dread
ful thought into his head? Jane ill—dying—

U NDER and by virtue of a writ of (mortgage) fieri

Georgia, in favor of the Plaintiff, Eugene Kelly, in the

EUGaNE KELLY vs. JOHN M. GANNON,
I have levied upon, as the property of JohnM. Gannonl

WM. H. SMYTH,
ap!3wtds United States Marshal.
earned her living as ’a sewing girl, and was
thus employed when Mr. McFarland formed
her acquaintance. A mutual attachment
sprang up between tho parties. On Mr. Mo-
Farlond’s side the attachment ripened into the
deepest love, which years of married life, al
ienation, desertion, and the terrible tragedy
connected with the case have not cooled. Mr.
McFarland took the young lady from her men
ial employment, educated her, taught her elo
cution, fitted her for the stage, developed in
her those accomplishments which have brought
forth such bitter firuits. His domestic life
seemed a happy one, and there was no jar or
discord till the removal of the parties to New
York.
While residing in the city Mrs. McFarland
became intimate with a class of socialists
known as free lovers. Soon after the ac
quaintance and association with this class
commenced, a coolness seemed to spring up
between the husband and wife. Mr. McFar
land visited the store of a relative where he
would sit by the hour with his head on his
hand, saying little, but that little had refer
ence to the "Free Love Crew,” who had alien
ated his wife, and mode her unhappy in her
home.
It is difficult to tell when the acquain*
once commencedbetweenMr. Richardson and
Mrs. McFarland. It was two years old before
Mr. McFarland had any suspicions that an ur-
due familiarity existed between the parties.
They boaided at the same house, and had
rooms on the same floor. All that McFarland
knew was that a literary person occupied
a room adjoining his. He had not seen him,
and did not know his name.
Just before Mrs. McFarland left her hus^
band, certain facts came to his knowledge that
disturbed him. He was then informed who
the gentleman was that occupied the room
near his own. In his absence the doors were
thrown open between the rooms. There was
no lock on the door at any time. Mrs. McFar
land was in and out, took care of the room of
Richardson, adorned it with flowers, and kept
it in order. The parties went out daily to
lunch together. They visited the theater often,
and were so much in company as to excite
common remark. Taking his wife into her
room one evening, McFarland remonstrated
with her on the impropriety of her conduct,
f.” received the rebuke with apparent good
i. .per, and promised to change her course.
The ii.: '-and and wife passed the evening to-
f ether as McFarland left in the morning for
is harness, his wife bestowed on him the
usual tokens of affection.
He returned at night to find his home de
serted. On inquiry, he learned that his chil
dren had been sent by Richardson out of the
city, he having assumed charge of the house
hold. He traced his wife to the house of Mr.
Sinclair. Here he was denied admittance.—
As a compromise it was decided he should
see his wife at a time specified some days
hence. In the mean time the parents of Mrs.
McFarland came on from Boston. On the
day named Mr. McFarland was denied the
pnviledge of seeing his wife alone. He knew,
he said, that half an hour’s conference would
reconcile matters. This was denied him by
the parties who had his wife in their keeping.
He was ushered into the parlor at Mrs. Sin
clair’s, where he found his wife surrounded by
Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, Mr. Cleveland, Mr.
Johnson of the Independent, the parents of
Mrs. McFarland and others. At such an in
terview, of course, nothing could be done.—
Mr. McFarland was told that his wife's separ
ation was full and final, and that private in
terviews would not be allowed. The father of
Mrs. McFarland accompanied the husband to
his desolate home, and slept with him that
night He * comforted him with the assur
ance that his daughter would soon be over
her freak, and that all would be well with him
yet McFarland left his boarding house for
other quarters..
When it wm known that McFarland had
left his boarding place, Mrs. McFarland went
back to her own quarters. She brought with
her a young lady, the daughter of the person
who was so conspicious in the Richardson
McFarland marriage She was introduced and
passed off as the affianced bride of Richardson.
There could, of course, be no impropriety in
Mrs. McFarland residing in the same house,
and occupying on adjoining chamber to Rich
ardson, if the young lady to whom Mr. Rich
ardson was engaged was her companion. On
the return of the parties Mr. Richardson was
absent. The ladies wished to occupy Mr.
Richardson’s room, but this was not allowed.
They took special charge of the room, and
kept it in readiness for the returning guest
whenever he should make his appearance. The
manner in which this little scheme and pleasant
arrangement came to the knowledge of Mr.
McFarland hastened the subsequent tragedy.
Before Mr. Richardson's return he wrote a
letter to Mrs. McFarland, which was inter
cepted by her husband. This letter is in the
hands of the defense, and will be produced on
thetrioL It reveals the real state of the case.
It is bold and defiant, proposing an avowal of
the relation between the parties, defying pub
lic sentiment, and taking the consequences.
It applauds the little arrangement at the
boarding house, by which the companion of
Mrs. McFarland passed off as a young lady en
gaged to the writer. It pronounces the ladies
to be "princes in dissembling,” for few could
have conceived of so complete a plan to carry
out the wishes of the writer by so ingenious a
blind. The letter is in the well-known hand
writing of Mr. Richardson. It is contended
that the divorce in Indiana was kept from
McFarland, and that he had no knowledge of
even an application for a legal separation un
til he heard that the deed was consummated,
and that fact come to liis knowledge only a
short time before the shooting.

Hurley's Bitters highly spoken of, and toed a bottle,

A little circumstance connected with the
late term of the Court comes to our knowledge,
which we are inclined to make public, even at
the risk of betraying confidence. During the
long and tedious Howe murder trial, the jury
(of whom one-half were ladies) were not per
mitted to separate and go to thei!* homes, but
were, under the charge of baitiffa (one lady
and one gentleman,) taken to the hotel for
heir meals, and lodging was provided for
them tu the adjoining parlors, each under the
charge of their bailiff And here, every
mcr-.ing during the trial, upon rising from
tfc:; beds, these ladies kneeled together, and,
like hild of Solomon, asked wisdom of
God to • - ble them to properly and wisely
discharp their new and arduous duties.

Perhaps no one medi

required by every
body as a cathartic,
nor was ever any be
fore so universally
adopted into use, in
every country and
among all classes, as
tills niihl but efficient
purgative rill. Tho
obvious reason 19,
that it is a more relia
ble and far more ef
fectual remedy than any other. Those who have
tried it, know that it cured them; those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends;
and all know that what it docs once it docs al
ways — Unit it never fail., through any fault or ucg-
plectof its composition. We have thousands upon
thousands of certificates of tlicir remarkable cures
of tho following complaints, but such cures are
known in every neighborhood, and we need not
publish them. Adapted to all ages and condiUons
in all climates; containing neither calomel norany
deleterious drug, they may bo taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar-coating preserve* them
ever iresli, mid makes them pleasant tn take, while
being purely vegetable, no harm co** arise from
their use in any quantity. «
They oj>crate by tlieir powerful influence on ffie
internal viscera to purifv Uic blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to health,
ami by correcting, wherever they exist, such de
rangements as are the flrt*twsfin of disease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
2>iUs rapidly cure: —
For Djmpspaia or InOlgwatlon, Ustl*M>

ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
ache, Joandice or Green Sickness, Bil
ious Colic and Billons Ye vers, they should
Ikj judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Croat, Gravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Pain In the
tiitlr, Back and JLolns, they should be contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system, with such change those
complaints disappear.
For Droi *
they should l „ .
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression a large dose should be
taken as it produces ffie desired effect by sym
pathy.
As a Dinner PUl, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these Pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from their cleansing ami renovatingeffoct on
the digestive apparatus.
