COLUMBUS: 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. , Chiiisnsogs Items. The Gazette of the 2J inst., says there mo thirty cases of emallpox under treat ment at the Post Hospital uear that town. Several eases also in the Freedmen’s quar ters, north of the rivtr. Sat* or Building.—The flank building formerly owned by the t tiauanooga bank,was sold a few days ago in obedience to a decree of the (Jhanoery Court, issued in order to satisfy a judg ment for debt sgainst the ißank. The property brought $16,050. Messrs. Crutchfield A Mug were the purchasers. Tvsbhim Legislature. This body assembled in Nashville on the 2d. No quorum in the House. Ad journed until next day. tieuate was or ganized by the election of Joseph B. ( riorsott, of the Maury Senatorial district as Speaker. The message of the Gover nor was transmitted to the Senate and read in that body. Internal Revenue Ruling The Commissioner of Internal Revenue ibis morning ordered the following rul ing: When the inoome of any kind for | 1864 was received in confederate curren cy, the market value of such currency estimated in gold at the time and place of receipt, should be returned as income. Cheap Routs to New Vorle. Cotton can now be shipped, it is au thontatlvsly statod, from Atlanta to Alex andria, Va , for six dollars per bale, via the E. Y. & Va. railroad. Thenoe it is conveyed to New York at little oost by water. The railroads are all completed. Tilt Synod ot Uaorgla. Rev. J. 8. Wilson, the stated clerk, has announced that the Synod of Georgia will meet in the Lecture Room of the First Presbyterian Church, oity of Augusta, on Wednesday beffore the fourth Sabbath of October, at 7J o’clock P. M, Wagoning Revived. Six bales of ootton hauled in a wagon from tho west bank ot the Chattahoochee, were sold in Savannah on the 26th for forty-two cents. Several ootton wagons have passed through Maoon for the same place. Two negro men wsrs coldly murdered in Savannah on the 16th ult., by a United States soldier. Gas of them was a mem ber of tbs 103d oolored troops. He shot them with a carbine while they were sit ting in a shop The Printers of Denver city presented the Hon. Sohuyler Colfax with a gold composition rule, on his visit to that city, he being one of the “craft,” which we have no doubt was highly appreciated. The United States representatives in St. Petersburg deny that the plague exists ia Russia. No case has yet been known in that country. From Alabama, Ds o’ Pratt of Prattville has been par doned, id will at onoe resume his exten sive gt- ud cotton factory. Seven hundred unmarried Massachu setts women intend going to Washington Territory. Women are scarce out there. The eleotion in Nashville resulted in the choice of W. Matt Brown for Mayor, by 576 votes over the next highest candidate. The Rolling Mills, Machine shops and Foundry at Rome, Ga.. will be soon re built on an extended scale. O.ia Fairbanks has been appointed Col lector for the District of St. Marks, Flu. 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. Ttae America* Cbrlutla* Commission. A religious body reoently held a meet ing in Cleveland, Ohio, which adopted the above name and reported a plan for an executive oommittee of eixty, to be charged with the work of awekening the attention of the Christian public to the urgent need of direct Christian labor. Chief Justioe Chase made an eloquent speech on the aubjeot of organization, paying a high compliment to the labor of the United State* Christian Commission in the army and navy.

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.

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.

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. LARGE AMOUNT of COTTON BURNED. Mkmi’His, Oct. I.’—-Wormlcy & Joy’s cotton shed Was burned lastuigut.
