moba singular that the coroner's verdict has
never heen made public.
The closing sentence of the “statement of
a muscler,” discloses a prescience on the part
of the author who had “the honor" to make it
almost as wonderful as the narrative itself.
Who but the agent of a Freedmen’s Bureau
would have known 'that the murder which
was* intended for old man Perry, who is a
good old man, with a good character from his
old master, and twenty-five bags of cotton,
“ was only the beginning of these murders.”
Who but-a “loil ” patriot could have had tlio
presence of mind under such alarming cir
cumstances (an hundred men killing one
poor sick boy and puttinghim into a feather
bed ana"buming'’allMJto haVtf'called for a
troop of cavalry to be stationed sin the Dis
trict .
Seriously, the whole story is utterly ridicu
lous, and like that of the shooting of the
negroes in. the mill-pond, published in the
same paper a few days since, is entirely too
absurd for belief. And yet no-doubt it will
figure , conspicuously in the array of .docu
mentary evidence now being furnished to
Congress, to prove that the Reconstructed

City,of Savannah:
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, hereby
make application to ybinr Honorable body,
either to lease'or seU ns on' such terms as
may he considered fair and eqnitable,s strip of
ground at the foot of Drayton street on the
Bluff, which can be filled up or arched over
and otherwise improved by the erection of
suitable buildings for offices or other purpo
ses. In the event of this being done,a passage
way win ’ be furnished over that Bpace, thus
saving the necessity for and expenditure of a
considerable' ram of money for building a
bridge. It is the opinion of your petitioners,
that it would he a benefit to the city in a pe
cuniary point of view to make these improve
ments herself; it would probably involve the
cash expenditure of fifteen thousand dollars
or thereabouts.
If, however, the city does not feel equal to
such an expenditure, of fair and equitable
terms can be made by your petitioners either
by a sale of( the ground, at an appraised value
by your city assessors, or by a lease of the
premises for a certain number of years, the
improvements at the expiration of said lease
to revert to the city, your petitioners will be
glad to undertake a project which we think

Election Bribery in England.—The Eng
lish law against bribery, passed at the last ses- .
sion of Parliament, provides that where a
bribery is committed with the knowledge of
consent of a candidate, he shall he disquali
fied for seven years from sitting in the House
of Commons, or being an elector, or holding
a municipal or judicial office. His election
will be rendered void by even employing any
person as canvasser who has within seven
years previously been convicted of bribery.
Receivers and givers of bribes are liable to
the same penalty.

and passion, snch moral fungi flourish for a
time, but with the returning dawn of truth
and reason they perish. Recognizing
this fact, the carpet-bagger does not
want peace. He , desires strife, and since
he has failed to inaugurate conflict and
violence between the outraged whites and the
blacks, no longer his passive dopes, he seeks
by misrepresentation and falsehood to excite
the prejudice and resentment of the Northern
masses against our people, and thus furnish
a pretext for the nsmpations, oppression and
Tax on Whiskey.—It is said an effort is to
be made by a whiskey ring,. having large
amounts on hand, to raise it to two dollars
per gallon. Commissioner Rollins thinks'
that Congress will not entertain the proposi
tion, as his report shows that the receipts
from the whiskey tax are largely in excess,
under the workings of the new law, of the
receipts for a corresponding period under the
old two dollar law. It is said, the receipts
will reach the estimates of the Committee of
Ways and Means.
Decline in Natural Increase.—Mr. Allen,
of Norridgewock, Maine, says the cause of
the falling off in school retnrns in that State
daring the last two years is not on account of
carelessness or mistakes in the return of the
number of children, but that the children are
becoming less in number yearly, except in
manufacturing towns or where there is an in
flux of foreign population. , Forty years ago
ten children were a common number in a
family, now the average iB hut four.

populations of the provinces of Courland,
