THURSDA Y MORNING, OCT. 6, 1806.'
Reading Matter on Every Page.
How, Alex. 11. SUphiai.
If in a matter of much surprise with
the Southern people why Mr. Stephens
should ba kept in confinement, whilst
hundreds of others who did all in their
power to bring about a dissolution of the
i nion, hare been pardoned and sit at
liberty.
The Philadelphia ledger in speaking of
the case of Hr Stephens, says :
“The Tresideut has declined to order
the release oi A. ii. Stepheus from Fort
Warren while his application for pardon
remains unacted upon. Otherwise, how
erer, he has directed that he ba kept as
i omfortable as the facilities of his tempo
rary abode will allow. Linton Htophens,
who has gone to visit him, is a half and
not a full brother of the distinguished
rebel. Major General Hooker, it is said,
has reversed the polioy of Gen. Dix, and
allows the freest correspondence with Mr.
Mtephene, The apartments he oocupies
have bsen changed to the locality occupied
by the officers of the fort.”
The Salem (Mass.) Gazette says :
Whan General Sherman arrived at
Affiant* he sent a messenger—Mr. King,
au intelligent and loyal Georgian now in
Uoston—to Mr. Stephens inviting him to
visit Atlanta. Mr. King performed his
mission, and Mr. Stephens expressed
huneolf anxious to meet tbs General and
do what he oonld to and the war and re
store the Union, but was unable to reach
Atlanta in time to see the commander of
the Federal army before he left.
faUrwtlxi Trial—Cuttlsi Ailalr.
An interesting trial is now going on in
Nashvills. The Nashville Union saye Dr.
Manlove was a member of Capt. (Jssey’s
company in the Confederate service, and
that In 1862 he pressed a horse belonging
to one Davidson, for the value of which
Davidson is sueiug Manlove. The case
turns upon the following points which if
dooided adverse to tbs de facto government
of the late Confederacy will open an end
lees field for litigation :
1. Did young Manlove act under orders
from ms superior ?
2. If ha did, are orders from the rebel
g >vernment, an excuse for the impress
ment oi a horse ?
The chief parties oonoernsd had a light
over the matter in a bar room on the 27th,
In which knlvee were freely used, but no
serious wounds inflloted. ,

Lilian KKOm WASHINGTON.
Washington City, Sept. 24, 1885.
Having been detained here two days
longer than 1 anticipated when I last
wrote you, 1 have oonoluded to drop you
a few lines.
The evidence on the part of the prose
cution in the Wirz case dosed Saturday.
There are but few witnesses for the de
fense in attendance, and the prospect of
compensation being bad, it is doubtful
whether many of these will be hero when
their names are oalled. The faol is patent
that Wirz is a doomed man, and his exe
cution a mere matter of time.
The door, as you have probably seen, is
again oj en to pardons, (juite a batch
appeared in Saturday morning’s papers.
They were principally North Carolinians.
1 understand the President pardons none
by proxy. He requires personal applica
tions. This gives a quietus to the com
mission business in pardons so numerously
sol up in this oity, with their branoheß
scattered over the so-oallod Rebel States.
Sinoe 1 visited this oity fourteen years
ago, heavy expenditures have been made
in public buildings. Two large wings
have been added to the Patent offioe. A
four story building, covering an entire
square, immediately in front of the Patent
office, has been put up for the General
Post Offioe Department; also an immense
building has been put up on the plot of
ground on which the old Treasury build
ing stood, extending down nearly to the
head of Pennsylvania Avenue, for the ase
of the Treasury Department. Also have
been added, two large wings to the old
Capitol, either of which is as large as the
original building. They are all yet in an
unfinished oondition, though the Depart
ment buildings are sufficiently finished to
be ocoupied. They are massive struc
tures, of a beautiful style of architecture,
and bailt of white marble.
The Washington Monument is just as I
found it in 1852, not a brick having been
stuck on it since ; and since the negro has
become the idol of so large a portion of
the people of our once glorious and frater
nal Union, I fear it will be many years
before the great and loved Washington
will ao sufficiently regain their affections
as to put this great national memento
again under way, muoh less to complete it.
The liberality with which the President
is exercising the pardoning power, is gra
ting heavily on the radioals, and they are
like so many mad bulls. Being a stranger,
I overhear much that is said by the knots
on the corners and on the sidewalks.
They evidently feel that they are a doom
ed party. When they finished the free
negro job their occupation was loßt, and
they are now dying out for want of food
to feed the fiame which gave them vitality.
They have not yet oonoluded to give it
up. Secretary Stanton has just returned
from New York, where, on the plea of
rusticating, it is thought by many, he has
been busy arranging the party machinery
to either force President Johnson to back
down from his present position of lenien
cy towards—(as they term them) —South-
ern traitors, or oommenoe a regular Beige
on his administration They will be alow
to move in the matter, however, and you
need not look for either movement until
atter the result of the pending elections
in Ohio and Indiana are known. If the
conservative party oarry the day in those
States by a formidable majority, you may
rely on it, their plans will all be dropped.
Should the reverse he the result, you may
look out for a heavy oannon&de on the
inmate of the White House. But, unlike
the Vioksburg affair, the beseigers will
surrender to the White House, and Stan
ton & Cos. will have to give plaoe to men
who desire to maintain the white man’s
government and restore the Union under
the Constitution in accordance with the
result of the late struggle.
Before I reach home the election for
delegatee to the Constitutional Conven
tion will be over. I have great confidence
that the people will choose the light sort
of man; so muoh so, that in reply to all
inquiries from the friends I have met, I
have given assurances that Georgia will
be all right, and that ttie work of her
convention would contorm to the existing
negro status as fully as that of Mississip
pi, which has given entire satisfaction to
all but negro equality men.
1 have met with four Columbus men in
the oity—Col. Porter Ingram, Mr. Alexan
der, Uaao I. Moses and John L. Mustiau,
Esq., President of the Musoogee Railroad.
The latter is just from New York, where
he has been spending some time on busi
ness for the Company. He leaves to
morrow (Monday) morning for Richmond,
en route for home.
1 cannot close this letter without giving
a passing notice to the elegant accommo
dations and superior fare afforded at the
hotel at whioh I am stopping—the Metro
politan (formerly Brown’s Hotel). The
bedrooms are more like parlors than bed
rooms. The landlord is gentlemanly and
courteous, and his political sentiments
have the right ring. The servants (col
ored) are gentlemanly and attentive. I
trust Georgians and Alabamians will make
this .their headquarters when they visit
Washington. T. D. W.

THE LATEST NEWS
8< HIKE TO ROB THE GOVIRNMKNT—A BRI
GADIER GENERAL ABBBBTBD.
New Yore, Oot. I.—The Herald's
Washington special says: About the
middle of last month, Gen. Baker receiv
ed information of a plot at Lynchburg,
Va., to rob the Post Quartermaster's sate
of a large amount of money it was known
to oontain. The oa»e has been worked
up and has resulted m the arrest and in
carceration in the Old Capitol prison last
night of Brevet Brigadier General Bris
coe, of the 109th Penn. Vols., command
ing the Post at Lynchburg, and A. W.
Lackey, of Worcester, Mass., formerly a
sutler at that post. Gen. Briscoe is an
Irishman by birth, and has been in com
mand of the Post at Lynohburg sinoe
Lee’s surrender.
Capt. W. A. Alberger, son of Canal
Commissioner Alberger, ol' New York,
has been Quartermaster at Lynchburg,
and had in his charge, on the 21st Sept.
$120,000 in Greenbacks, besides a large
amount of captured gold coin and bullion,
wnioh bad been placed in his charge for
safe keeping. Briscoe approached Al
berger tbrough Laokey, and proposed to
him as the war was about to close, and
none of them had made money out of it,
they should make a grand haul m con
cert, and pocket $50,000. Alberger kept
the funds in a sate whioh formerly be
longed to a rebel officer, and this fact was
to giveoolor to the charge which was to
be made, that the ex-rebel, having a du
plicite key to the safe bad robbed it,;and
Briscoe was to arrest the Quartermaster
and his cierks. The General took an im
pression ot the sale key ou Max, and sent
tacky to Philadelphia to get a key made.
Alberger, ostensibly in me plot, inform
ed the decretory of War,aad two or three
of General Bakst's officers were sent
down to Lynchburg to arrest the guilty
parties.
These officers saw through holes in the
ceiling of the office. Geu. Briscoe came
in while tile Quartermaster’s ulerks were
gone to dinner; saw hint unlock the safe
with the false key and take out three
packages of greenbacks of forty thousand
dollars each and loaded himself with corn
and bullion to the amount of near fifteen
thousand Uollare. Having previously
ignited saturated paper and cloth with a
view of burning the building. They fol
lowed him across the hall of his own office,
and burst upon him counting and arrang
ing the money behind his bolted door.
The wax molds and laiee keys were found
on him and the proof is indisputable.
Thebe proofs are now in Gen. Baker's
possession. Briscoe and Lackey, are in
the Old Capital, awaiting trial. Alber
ger, the honest Quartermaster, is on duty
at his old post.

ing to Mrs. Ewell, wife of the rebel Gen
eral Ewell. The funds were libelled by

the suit and restore the properly to the
