Ho, your swords by your sides, and your hands on their handles. March out and demolish those eaters of can dles. Come from th e mosque, cutting short genu flexion; Como from the slave girls waiting ic spection : Come from the coffee house, leave the tobac conist’s ; First put your pipee out, and then your antag onists !

Stand thou on Memory's peak at set of Day. And in the dosty air ’twixt Noon and Night Which is the funeral toroh, and which the light That goes before the bridal, eauat thou Bay ? As moon-lit gardens with thoir alleys gray Invite more lovers than the glorious Morn ; as the bright Champaign with its waved com Into soft seas of azure dies away ; As Mountains with their pinnacle of ice, Aa barren crags lit with the llamo of Even Look beautiful, and stars come forth in Heav ©ll When Day no longer dazzles in the skies ; As unseen violets yield their rarest balm.

[Frnherick Tennyson. THE WEB OF LIFE. Like a blind spinner, in the sun I tread my days; I know that all the threads will run Appointed ways; I know each day will bring its task, And, being blind, no more I ask. I do not know the use or name Of that I epin; I only know that someone came And laid within Ity hand the thread, and said “since you Are blind, but one thing you oan do.’ Sometimes the threads, so rough and fast And tangled fly, I know wild storms are sweeping past And fear that I BbaJl fall; but dare not try to find A safe place, since I am blind. I know not why. but I am sure That tint and place, In some great fabrio to endure Past time and race, My threads will have ; so from the first, Though blind, I never felt accursed. I tlunk, perhaps, this trust has sprung From one short word, Baid over me when I was young— So vouug I heard It. knowing not that God's nams signed My brow and sealod me His, though bhnd. But whether this be seal or sign, Withiu, without, It matters not; the Lord divine I never doubt. I knew He seut me here, and still, And glad, and blind, I wait His will. But listen, listen, dav by day, To hear their tread Who bear the finished web away And out the thread. And bring God's message in the sun, '•Thou poor, blind spinner, work is done.” ONLY.

Washington, April 17.—This renown ed Democratic leader, it will be remem bered, gave his views on the situation to vonr correspondent. They were printed in the North American, and of course reprinted over the country. The Presi dent was so p eased with the patriotic expressions of the Delaware statesman that he, through Secretary Evarts, sent him a pressing invitation to call and see him He did so, in company with the Prime Minister. The meeting was a long and agreeable one, and the Senator con vie! ions and intentions, as expressed in the aforementioned printed interview. He is now satisfied that Haves will carry out the promises he Blade in his inaugural address, and that within a week the whole matter will be settled. Senator Bayard avows himself a staunch Democrat, but de clares that he will not aid or abet any factious opposition to the general policy of tbs President. He denies that the President has entered into any compact, combination or secret understanding. He looks upon him as a Republican, but one who is determined to do whet is right, even if it does displease the bad men of his own party. Date in Mosoogee county are heading. Tilt: .NEW I.EA-NBEU.

They came rearer and nearer to the shore, and coaid already distinguish th' port-bole* of the lower embankment which the Italians had thrown np at thi month of the river, and the white linei blouses of the soldiers who were work ing upon them. “Look ! they are already giving chase to ns," snddeuly said the Lombard, laughing to himself, as if it gave him peculiar pleasure to see the greedy reve nue officers retire with empty pockets; “there is even the brigadier.” Indeed, a long black boat darted so rapidly toward them that the water rose snow-white on its narrow bow. Five oars, handled by five revenue officers, dipped regularly into the water, and in the prow stood Tommaso Paglia in per son, who, notwithstanding tfie violent motion of the boat, seemed to use his short spy glass successfully. With a few more strokes, the boat wae so near that one could see the carbines hanging horizontally on the sides ; by a skillful tarn it came close ilong side the broad, bright bark—from Lareno, and while five pairs of brown fists clang to the e 'ge of the boat like grapnel, Tommaso stood already, by a dexterous the middle of the pi rate boat between the Countess and her boatmen. IF• After galjaiily *aiutiog the former, he turned Wine latter. “ Ah, friend Geronimc,” said he, with a significant glance, and an expressive smile, “It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of seeing you. You are seldom on the lake, at least in day light What are yon doing now ?” SVhereupon the brigadier’s eye wan dered as restlessly aronad the boat, as if he wished to examine the head of every nail; and the conversation which he had entered into evidently had no other object than to allow him the ne cessary time for this preliminary in spection, “lama fisherman,” answered Gero mino, returning Tommaso’s cunning laugh with ona quite aa cunning. “Fisherman—of what f" asked To maso, while he surveyed the Countess, without at the same time allowing the Lombard to escape his eye. “Of what else than fish?” inquired Geromino with naive astonishment, while the brown youth behind him oould scarcely suppress his laughter, “So, o—of fiab?” and Tommaso laughed till his cheeks lay in two deep wrinkles. “Formerly it was said (I know not if it be true) that yon were backed by the MareDghis of the Milan mer chants, and that you earned more in one night by smuggling than a poor fisherman would in a year,” Now it was the revenue officer’s turn for suppressed laughter. Geromino cast a compassionate glance at them (which Tommaso knew very well how to value,) and did the brigadier the favor to con sent to tha ponoedy. “Ah, that was when we were young,” he sighed, rolling his eyes Bnctimo niously, “but of recent years the in speotors have grown so mean that it is oot worth the rifk under the new law. Three yeais’ imprisonment and the seizure of all one’s property for a couple of pounds of sugar andsilk, is not just. Even though we huveto work A whole week to get hold of a shabby trout which an Englishman can consume at one meal at the liotol, fit'll our work is safer and we are not imprisoned for it!’’ The young man iu the back part of the boat looked steadily on the floor as if he were trying not to-betray by a sin gle feature of his face how far bis old comrade’s remarks were true. Tommaso seemed to have finished his preliminary inspection; he rapped on tfie floor wrih his heel, ao that the board covering gaye out a hollow sound, find then abandon jug his tittle-tattle suddenly said in u curt official tone : “This much I know, the fishery be lotiga to this side of the and not to the eommnuity °f Laveno —” “To-day, l au bringing this Signora over, who is at hosto visits her family!” answered Geromino, evtoPhlJj 1 with the intention of preventing an in appropropriate answer from the Count- ess. Tommaao’s fane plonded. “Has the Signora a passport from onr Government?” he asked sharply, al though his expression indicated that he was not insensible to ripe, womanly charms. ~ . “Only this passport, sir, answered the Countess quickly ; and her heart throbbed violently for fear that now, in sight of her child's fipme, which lay al most in a stone’s throw of her, and on the tower of which she could plainly distinguish the clock and the hour that it indicated, she might be obliged to turn back. Tommaso unfolded the passport, and lifting hi# bt gallantly, he read: • . “Countess Walpurga Bandimiani, one Baroness of Anwandel from Venice—un doubtedly the noble consort of his Ex cel leney Count Bandimiani,” added he officiously. Then he Btndied the mss port once more attentively, and at sight of the letters of the same, thp jny ste .- ous swimmer aud the singular behavior of the Count upon hearing of him, rose in a regular witches’ dance before Tom maso's usually not very lively imagina tion. At last he seemed to arrive at a conclusion, and with a pdble bf>w he returned the pajmr, “I regret,” said be with a shrug of his shoulders which filled the Counfene with gloornv forebodings, “that the passport has only been issued by the Austrian authorities, and on aocount of onr pres eiit reUttoo# w© kavfl orders to turn back all persona, aod especially those coming from Austria, who am fiflt provided with proper papers, or are in td* suspi cions. It i* often a cruel necessity, put unavoidable for us, for one observes ca rious things OP the shore.” He did not Bsb, The Countess had risen and said almost ifppjoringly: “Be merciful ! I have hoc *&n my daughter lor many years !’* Tommaso saw lfce brown eyes of the’ Countess fixed on him with a tearful glance, and felt the well knows form of several Napoleons in bis band wiiiMU had grasped. He seemed touched. “Oh, the youDg Countess fias grown verv beautiful,” said he, with aeogfused smile while the Countess withdrew her hand “I also have the deepest respeet for his Excellency the Count, but the service is etetft, and I really see no help for it.” . , . “But I only wish to ejjesk to my rela tives for a quarter of an ho*. > ’ Toomftao seemed to reflect, and wiop said, meditatively : ] “One doe* pot require even that much tim to deliver despatch. ” ! “But I swear to you that I have noth , iug with me but this t+pfir and my] parse I will gladly leave both re your j keeping. *A pledge of my honest in tentions. ” _ . , The purse whiefa tins Countess extend ed to him looked full wuJ heavy.

Bat yon/' severe ly upon Geronlmo, “will remto toyeffr; boat and await the return of the lady,! without going on shore, if yon do not want to be Ao y wjhtfftr . , Gerouimo nodded his head ae mooli as to say that he perfectly understood the necessity for Tommaso to throw sand in iPS subordinates’ eyes. At a sign from the bngsdier, the revenue officers rePMped their hold from the gunwale, and soon j*e prows of both hosts ran side by simultaneously to a shallow place an the i sandy shore. , . While the inspectors made their ar-. raneements to watch both Lombard boats, the brigadier politely helped the Countess to lend, and then walked ! along the narrow path which lea to the street. “This wall belongs to your tresbspd s villa,” explained Tommaso, when he. had gone some distance along the share of the lake, pointing to the enclosure on the right, “We ean shorten the way by going through the park," And to Walpurga’s great astonish ment, he took a little key from his pocket and unlocked a small gate in the wall, obligingly yielding the precedence to the lady. “You seem to have frequent commu nication with the villa," eaid the Countess, continuing the conversation with strange embarrassment as she walked in the shadows of the splendid avenue. “ C ertainly, his excellency honors me with his fullest confidence!” answered Tommaso, after he had locked the gate and put away the key. “It really is very difficult at present for anybody but mvself to approach his excellency, and if my supposition is oorrect that he is perfectly unprepared for the joyful event which is impending, it will be a fortunate chance that yon c&tm iWitfa me, for Signor Giacomo, the old yaw* (whom your excellency probably knows) is a martinet. If the Con ntesa wiU only fol low the broadest of these paths, I will esteem it an honor and a pleaanra to hasten forward and announce bar." Without regarding the hum ilia torn to herself, which lay in the protection of her companion, the Countess was deep ly terrfi-d at the possibility of not be ing received by her hnsband, and of be ing sent away without seeing her daugh ter. Bat she coaid not have voluntarily gone back, even if she bad wished, for, without waiting for her consent, the officious brigadier had hurried on and left her alone in the vast park. Walpurga followed him slowly. Soon her step became quiak and unsteady, as if she were running a race with her own anxiety; then again bestood still, as if her violently palpitating heart interfered with the movements of her body. Her whole past, all that she had to faar for her daughter, and the little that she had to hope for herself, crowded upon her troubled sou*; and the white paths of the park entwined themselves caefnsediy before her eyes. She poshed on again, as if trying to escape from her own thoughts. Suddenly she stood still. She found herself in a dark green oircnlar spot, high above which cedars of Lebanon and Himalaya eypresses arched their branches in a protecting canopy. Be tween them glistened the long shining points of the Spanish bayonet, and in the centre a charming fan palm strug gled in vain towards the sunshiny day. There on the left the shrubbery was pushed back a little, and on a bench woven of light reeds, bending mnsiDgly over a piece of brightly colored embroi dery, the slender form of a maiden ap peared, whose face was hidden under the brim of a large white hat. Now she looked np and stared for a moment at the tall black-robed lady at the entrance of the Sommer house; the glowing crimson of her lovely cheeks was changed to a death-lik<- pallor, “Caroline!” said W. rga softly. Unconscious of herself, horvoiceseemed to come from the depths' of her heart, and she opened her arms mechanically. “Mama !” It was with a wild, passsionate cry that Caroline sprang np and threw her self in her mother's arms. Almost devoutly Countess Walpurga embraced the lovely, charming maiden whom she had last seen ae a child, then she led her back to her seat and sat down beside her. Caroline clang fast to the hand of her long absent mother and hid her bead on her shoulder, g; “I did not want to creep in secretly,” the Coantess began at last, while she stroked her child’s face caressingly. “I wished to go openly and honestly to your father and assert my interest in yon and your fntnre. If he had refused this I should have gone away without disturbing your peace of mind.” “Will you go to papa?” asked Caro line, and her lips had a hard expression as she thought of him. “Who knows whether he will not send you away also throngh Signor Giaoomo as has hap pened to me three tiffieg,” she added bitterly, “To you, my child, and why ? How can you have offended him ?” said the Countess indignantly, and yet in selfish joy. “That is just what np to the present time I have not been able to discover,” Caroline said bravely. “Papa acts as if I were no longer in existence for him, and when he goes out of the house is al ways accompanied by Signor Gincomo or the hrigilier of the revenue guards, whom I cauiiOt endure becauae ho stares ■it me so boldly. And I cannot ask papa before them what there was so wrong in m? longing continually for you ana thinking constantly of my r> erry cousin Henry, until I actually believed that I saw him in the flesh.

' Caroline stopped. She reminded her self''that thpjre {flight still be a difficulty iu the way of inviting hpr pousin. “I always speak of Henry as if he were in the same town with ns. Probably he is far, far away, or—” 4gai ß Caroline did not tiujph. her dreamy splilpfioy, which fTOi 1 T addressed to her mother, . - "Henry Walden lives and is near here," aud her glance rested more thoughtfully on he* daughter. “Near here?” Caroline sprang up, pale with joyful agitation. , , , Tenderly her mother drew her down to ner agfiin. “And there is n.o man of whom yon have ttmught more often or mom loving ly than of your cousin ?” * Caroline drooped her childish head in embarrwßmept. . “That would be ypry wicked of pie, for no one has ever been go good to me as onr Henry.” “You dear child!” said the Countess, forgetting everything while she kissed her daughter’s pure brow. “ Your ipaiden lips have revealed the secret by whieii alpp.e the curse of suspicion and discord oan be rwiioyed from your par ents, and the foundation laid for your own happiness.

In Which He Foreshadowed His Preseat Southern Policy. [Delivered mt Marion, 0., July 31, 1675. J Yon have done yonr part forever to set at rest the great qneationa of tne past. It is settled that the United States constitute a nation, and that their Government possesses ample power to maintain its authority over every part of its territory against all opposers. It is settled that no man uuder the American flag shall be a slave. It is settled that all men born or naturalized in the United States and within its jurisdiction shall be citizens thereof, and have equal civil and political rights. It is settled that the debt contracted to save the nation is sacred and shall be honestly paid. Yon may well be congratulated that on all of these qneßtionsyon fought and voted on the right side. Fortunately there is still farther cause for congratulation. Onr adversaries, who were on the wrong side of all these questions, and who opposed ns on all of them to the very last, are now com pelled to be silent in their platform on every one of them. Not a single one of their 14 resolutions raises any question on any of these long contested subjects. It is not strange that they are silent. 1 do not ehoose on this occasion to recall the predictions of evil which they so confidently made when discussing the measure* to which I have referred. It is enough for my present purpose to point to the grand results. When the Republican party, with Abraham Lin coln as President, received the Govern ment from the hands of the Democratic party 15 years ago, the Union of the fathers was destroyed. A hostile nation dedicated to perpetual slavery had been established south of the Potomac, and olaimed jurisdiction over one-third of the people and territory of tho Republic. These States were “dissevered, discor dant, belligerent ” —onr laud was rent with oivil feud and ready to be drenched in fraternal blood. Now, behold the change ! The Union is re-established on firmer foundations than ever before. Brave men in the South, who were then in battle array against us, now stand side by side with Union soldiers, with no shadow of dis* oord between them. Slavery, which was then an impassable gulf between the hostile sections, is now gone, and gooij men of the Sonth unfte with good men of the North in thanking God that it is forever a thing of the past. Then there was no freedom of speech or of the press—no friendly mingling together of the people of the two sections of the country. Now the people of the South receive and greet as a fellow-citizen and a friend the Vice-President—a citizen of Massachusetts and an anti-slavery man from his youth—and Maryland, Virginia aud Sonth Carolina send their distin guished sons to celebrate with New England the Centennial anniversaries of the early battles of the Revolntion. The men of the North and the men of the Sonth are now everywhere coming to gether in a spirit of harmony and friend ship which this generation has uot wit nessed before, aDd which has not existed until now since Jefferson was startled by that “fire bell in the night”—the Mis souri question—more than fifty years ago. In this good era of good feeling and reconciliation a few men of morbid temperament, blind to what is passing before them, still talk of “bayonets and tyranny and cruelty to the South,” and seek in vain to revive the prejudices and passions of the past. But there is bate ly enough of this angry dissent to re mind us of the terrible scenes throngh whioh we have passed, and to fill us with gratitude that the house whioh was divided against itself is divided no longer, and that all of its inhabitants now have a fair i-tart and an equal chance in the race of life.

WA3qiN(ON. 4P ril 2§.— Scarcely a person can be fonnd who is not heartily glad the Louisiana matter has been dis posed of, though there are a few of both parties who say Packard should have been recognized. The few Democrats holding this view place it npon the ground that the Louisiana Congressmen by consenting to the legitimacy of Mr. Hayes' title conceded the right of Pack ard to be Governor, and their people should have borne the consequences of the concession. They admit they are disappointed at the course pursued by the President towards the Southern States, and are sorry the Southern people are not to be made to bear their jnst punishment for the sale of the Presidency by four more years of earpet-bag rule. A member of the Cabint said in conversation to-day that the President considers the General Govern ment entirely relieved of any farther re sponsibility as to the affairs of Louis iana. There is now bnt one Legislature, and that mils t dispose of all questions pertaining to the State government. The troops will not interfere hereafter in the affairs of auy State except it be abso lutely necessary to preserve the peace, and they must be called for by the Leg islatore] if it is in session, or the Gov ernor mast satisfy the President that the Legislature cannot be convened. Only an extraordinary condition of af fairs, such as never heretofore existed, will warrant a deviation from this poli oy. The colored people must be pro tected by every legitimate means, but the President relies with utmost confi dence npon the promises of the South ern leaders to afford snch equal j notice and protection aa will satisfy the country and deprive designing politicians of the opportunity to keep alive bad feeling between the sections.

Solomon and Spring Stylet,—A Dolman De lnge—The Couiina Bonnet—The Princess Costume—The Last Thin* in Parasols—The Next Debutante Society Gossip—Anna Dickinson’s Failure. I Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist.] New Yobk, April 19. —Solomon, in days gone by, was not far wroDg when he wrote that increasing knowledge brought oftentimes increasing sorrow. Now, indeed, that I have attained fnll knowledge concerning Spring fashions, sorrow is altogether too mild an expres sion to convey an accurate idea of my sentiments npon some cardinal points. Distress would be an apter term for what I feel about this Deluge of Dolmans Which has fallen upon ns, and which, like a swarm of locusts, threatens to de vour all the beauty of the land. Thick as locusts they lie on merchants’ coun ters ; they are sold ; having been sold, they are worn ; ibeing worn, pretty forms are disfigured, ugly ones made to look still uglier by the great clumsy things. For they are clumsy, make what you will of them. Once in a while I see a dolman which pleases me—one of black silk, or ilrap d’ete, provided it be perfect in fit, worn by a woman of perfect form, and otherwise perfectly well dressed. Then a dolman may come in as a perfect finish to the costume. Now and then, also, may be seen a dol man of grey cloth which is not bad. Mark the “now and then.” But here we have devouring swarms of grey dolmans, and, with smalL regard to proprieties of any kind, they are worn with an atro c ous promise-, uousness by everybody, who wants eve ry body has. Are there not sacqnes ? A few comparatively, and being few, they will be the more pre ferred by persons of discrimination.— They are, however, not so long as in the Winter, for in the nature of thiDgs, it is hardly permissable to wear out door garments of such length during the Summer, as when the chilling frost causes one shiveringly to welcome all possible protection. Mantilla shapes are seen, and we shall have charmiug little rouiij capes, and fiohnes for street additionskhe latter being of silk, drap d'ete and Wie inevitable gray cloth iu cape like flrm at the back, with long ends crossing in front. Bonnets. “Will this be worn, do you think ?” I said to an experienced millliner, as we contemplated a bonnet of bright yellow straw, trimmed plentifully with bright yellow satin, and showing an almost equal intermixture of red; iODg strings of red and yellow ribbon hanging in fraternal fellowship side by side. “Will this be worn," I inquired, overcome by a sentiment of timid apprehension. “Why, certainly,” was tho reply; the calm assurance of tone being such as to set all doubts at rest. And now that the Spring bonnets are actually trans ferred from their wooden stauds, and set upon people’s beads, it be comes apparent that ahe was right. Fortunately for our eyes, such speci mens of millinery are not frequent, but what of a stato of society when such a thiDg is permissable It shows that our ideas have in a short space of time become wonderfully “brightened,” and an extreme example being given, it will be safe to conclude that the predominance of gay coloring is quite remarkable. But one can have a bonnet of exquisite refinement should one so desire. Charming specimens of the milliner’s art are of fine white chip. tri;:imed in pare white throughout, and others show all the delicate combina tions of hue to whioh we have been habituated.gUjor style, however, com mend me tos; yellow Tuscan braids, or genuine and, after all, they are pleasing because iso different from what we have had; the former especially, by reason of their quaintness, calling back to memory the days of Auld Lang Syne. The prettiest bonnets which have come under my notice are iu the miili nery department just opened by J. and C. Johnston, Broadway and Twenty-sec ond street, and here, in an especial man ner, we find tasteful combinations of all that is novel and sylish. I mention this because the firm make a specialty of out of town orders, and within the limits of their establishment everything in the dry goods line can be obtained, Asa shoe department has just been added, a lady oau order a complete outfit for her self or ohildren; and, then going on to the carpet and upholstery, may select all that is needed in the way of house furnishing goods.

Court Week In Lexington—A Cause Celebre — The Eberhart Cases—One Delendaut Ac quitted—Two Colored Rioters. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: Lexington, April 21. —Oglethorpe Su perior Court began its regular Spring session last Monday. Owing to the orowded condition of the dockets, and the importance of several criminal cases, an unusually large number of people were in attendance all the week. Very little civil business was transacted. On Tuesday morning the Eberhart murder ease was called for trial, and the State’s attorneys announced themselves ready as to John N. Eberhart, the young man who is charged with having done the cutting which re=ulted in the death of Dr. Stribling. This defendant was not present, and his attorneys presented an affidavit from Dr. J. E. Pope, of Athens, stating that he was unable to leave his bed and attend Court in consequence of an attack of enteritis, and moved to con tinue the case as to this defendant.— This provoked considerable discussion, after which the Court decided to pass the case till the ensuing morning. On the next morning the case was again called, and the attorneys for Eberhart again presented the affidavit, and insist ed on their motion to continue the case of this defendant. The State’s counsel asked for another day to make a counter showing as to the condition of the health of the defendant. The Court declined to allow this, stat ing he had already allowed twenty-four hours, and that no counter showing had been made. After some argument, the case of John N. Eberhart was continued for the term, the Court declining to pass it till an adjourned term, and stating that he had already made an attempt, unsuccessfully, to bring it to trial at an adjourned term. The defendant’s attor neys then insisted on the trial of John Eberhart, the father of John N. The State’s counsel moved to continue, in sisting that John Eberhart should not be tried till after the trial of John N. The question was ably argued on both sides, and the Court denied that the case should be tried. The trial began on Wednesday and was concluded on Friday evening. Col. J. D. Mathews and the Solicitor-General represented the State, and Gen. Toombs, Mr. B. H. Hill, Mr. J. C. Reed, Mr. J. T. Olive, and Mr. Pope Barrow the defendant. Both the State’s attorneys and the three first named of the defendant’s attorneys participated in the argument before the jury, and their speeches were able and elaborate. No testimony was introduced for the defendant, wlpch gave his counsel the conclusion. General Toombs made the last speech, and was especially strong and eloquent in what he said. The ver dict was “not guilty.” It is generally ac quiesced in as right by our best citizens. The indictment was then nol prossed as to Jacob, another son of John Eberhart. This disposes of the entire case, except as to John N., whose trial will be in or der at tie next term. On this morning the cases against the prisoners engaged in the Crawford riot were taken up. They are charged with assault with intent to murder. Luke Johnson was put on trial, and convicted after a fair and impartial trial. The testimony of both white and colored witnesses made out a decidedly strong and clear case against him, and the charge of the Court was just and fair Mr. W. G. Johnson, Mr. T. W. Rucker and Mr. J. T. Olive, by appointment of the Court, defended the prisoner. Mr. Olive made a very conscientious and impressive argument in behalf of the defendant. It would require t.oo much space to give you an outline of the evi dence, but the conviction that the ver dict was right prevails universally. The State was represented by Colonel J. D. Mathews, Mr. Samuel Lumpkin, Mr. John C. Reed and the Solicitor- General. The prisoner has not been sen tenced. The Court will continue in ses sion next week until the other cases are disposed of, and you will be advised of the result. B. W. C. Lexington, April 24. —The Superior Court of Oglethorpe county was ad journed this morning till the 4th Mon day in May. On yesterday the cases of the Crawford prisoners were resumed. All of them except Luke Johnson, already convicted, and four who are at large and not yet arrested, were tried together under an agreement that each and all of them might testify in behalf of each other. The jury was composed of twelve excellent men, and the trial was a fair and impartial one. The State’s counsel conceded that four of the prisoners should not be convicted, and one other besides these was acquited. The evitlenoe showed that the colored men fired first on Marshal Hopkins aid his posse a deadly volley in reply to his demand that they should disperse and let there be peace and quiet in the town. Neither the Marshal nor any of his posse offered any violence or injury to the colored men before the latter fired, and the shooting appears to have been wholly unjustifiable. Mr. 3?, W. Ruck er argued case for tlae prisoners and Mr. Samuel Lumpkin for the State. The following is a list of the prisoners oouvioted, and the terms for which they were sentenced; Luke Johnson, 10 years; Robert Han son alias Henderson, 10 years; Ed Han son alias Henderson, 10 years; Lewis Brittain, 6 years; Oliver Williams, 10 years; James Campbell, 6 years; Pleas Starks, 6 years; Miles Hill, 2 years; Victor Dodson, 10 years; Wash Hanson alias Henderson, 2 years; George Brawu er, 10 years. The following were acquitted : Frank Brittain, Alfred Read, kfanry Thomas, MURDER AND ESI! APB. flight Uiiapi tlflvl£t Mmtfe.r Their peeper aud Escape* Macon, April 24, 1877.

McCloskey’s father, who was also named McCloskey, was a wealthy Georgian, and before the war was called the “Cotton King” of tfce South. In her early youth she was married to a Mr, Jackson,' by whom she had three children, Cerita Jackson, Victoria Cham berlain, and Herman F. Jackson. After the war the only vestige of her father’s property that had been saved was a trust fund in the hands of Senator Chris tianey, of Michigan, real estate in Genessee county in this State, and some land in the Sonth. She went to live in Genessee county with her children, bnt having been married to Antonius F. McCloskey, despite the opposition of her children, she came to this city to live, in 1871. A few months afterward she wa? suipmoned to Genessee, and was much annoyed at finding herself the ; object of much staring. This was ex plained when papers were served upon her in lunacy proceedings instituted by j her children. She tore up the papers i and came to New York. Soon thereafter Jasper V. Lewis was appointed commit tee of her person and estate, and he took possession of her property. Since 1871 she received only $25 in money and the payment of abont $125 indebtedness incurred by her. She has lived with her husband, who is a salesman in a mercantile house in this city. She was before Jndge Donohue yesterday, ask ing for the appointment of a receiver pending further litigation.

THE IMPENDING CONTEST. What Secretary Evarts Thinks of the Sit nation. Washington, D. C., April 23.—Let ters received by different members of the Administration, from persons of in fluence iu tbe Repnblican party, indi cate some dissatisfaction and nneasiness in resoect to the policy adopted by the President, for Louisiana and Sonth Carolina. Secretary Evarts, in speaking of the subject to day, said that nnder all reasonable contingencies there were no grounds whatever for apprehension in the minds of the people of any seo tion. He admitted that the President might have withdrawn tbe troops with in twenty-four hours after his accession to office, but bad he done so this would have accomplished the same result. The result of tbe apparent delay has been tbe bringing of order ont of chaos and giving those States a lasting govern ment. In the settlement of the contro versy nothing wa9 done except within the strict province of existing constitu tional and statutory provisions. The Government found no necessity for rec ognizing either government under the Constitution. This right belonged to the Legislature in canvassing the votes for Governor. Comp imenting the work of the President, the Secretary said that President Hayes had no desire for re election, and, so far as he knew, none of the Cabinet had aspirations in that di rection. Referring to the fears express ed that the President had left the colored man to the hands of a class inimioal to his interests, Mr. Evarts said that Mr. Hayes believed the Southerners to be an honorable people, who would take espe cial pains to carry out their pledges in iegard to the colored people, aud that no apprehension existed in the mind of the President touching the future con dition of affairs of the South VEGETINE —WILL CURE— SCROFULA, Scrofulous Humor.
