This from the Fernandina Observer: On
Tuesday evening, James Ladson, (colored),
who lived near what is called the “Still,” a
mile south of this city, left this place for his
home somewhat intoxicated. Mr. Samuel
Petty, from whom we gather these particu
lars, and who was a spectator of the sad af
fair, says he was not so drunk but that he
walked and kept up with the others of the
party. Nearly opposite the machine shops
they met an engine, backing down, running,
Mr. Petty thought, at tho rate of ten miles
an hour. The others ol tho party got off
the track, but Ladson, possessed of some
strange whim, said he could cross a culvert
which they were approaching, before the
engine could reach them. Mr. P.*said he
begged him not .to attempt it, and even
made a start to catch him, but •taring he
would imperil his own life, without helping
the deluded and bewildered man, retraced
his steps. Ladson, whose presence of mind
was drowned in whiskey, instead of jumping
from the culvert, which, with his faculties in
play he could have done when he saw the
engine near him, stupidly stopped and threw
up his hands as if to ward off a blow. He
was caught by the shackling bar of the ten
der and carried two hundred yards before
he fell under the trucks, and was picked op
a frightful mass of mangled flosh ami boues.
No fault is found with the engineer who, it
seems, did not see the man on tho road.

in the exercise of its legitimate functions
in tbe presence of and in conflict with the
existing established authorities, such par
ties are revolutionists and guilty of trea

with as Much. I am unprepared, as tbe
acting executive of Louisiana, to permit
without let or hindrance a faction to

either ignored or overlooked, but must be
met and suppressed. It is my duty as
Executor, not only to quell mobs and in

and vigorous execution of the law,
the inception of such riotous and dis
turbed conditions. I do not propose
that saeh a state of things shall be in

will make it necessary for the national
authority to declare martial iaw therein

mnch this deplorable issue may be sought
and desired by the few ill-advised, short

laboring to that end. The Governor elect,

by the President, will meet and perforin

with them in farthering the public weal,
but no good can bo accomplished by dis
order and revolution. wuii<« the com

Gbefxey’s Fist. —Daring the rec nt
Presidential campaign, an alternate Gree
ley elector, R. A. Alston, of Georgia,
wrote to Mr. Greeley, inoloniog the
word-i* “When the defeated Rebels are
scattered like leaves before an angry
wind,” etc., cut from a Straight Demo
cratic newspaper, and therein credited to
Mr. Greeley, with an inquiry as to
whether or not he was the aathor thereof.
Mr. Greeley replied, in substance, as fol
lows : “I certainly never wrote tbe origi
nal linen of which the enclosed are a
copy. That they appeared in the Tribune,
I lider from tbe fact that they are now
quoted as Coming from me. I shall deny
nothing, however, short of.an accusation

agent for the patented “Abel Loom,”
and while ‘endeavoring to induce a lead

lo take stock in the same, remarked that
he had a letter from Senator Sprague, ol
Rhode Island, indorsing the loom in the
most flattering terms, and handed to the

After putting on his spectacles and ex

A Horrible Story—What an Engineer
Did W ith a Man who Disarranged a
Railroad Track,
The following etory may be a true one;
more likely it is false, but it is given as it
was detailed:
Some yeors ago, there was a well Bowh
engineer, whose name is not given, for
good aod hufficient reasons, ran a passen
ger train on one of the most popular and
most traveled roads that runs out of In
dianapolis. At a oertain place on the
road, evary night for about a week, as the
passeuger train ran by this engineer came
thundering along, it was certain to be
thrown fnm th« track by obstructions
placed there. Several of these mishaps
to the train caused loss of life, and the
company was becoming considerably
alarmed, aud the ability of tbe engineer
was being seriously questioned. One
night as the unfortunaie train was near
ing the fatal spot, the engineer, who had
been sitting glam and silent at the
throttle, tnrned to his fireman and said
“If this train jumps the track at
place to-n ght, you follow me;
* ‘don’t bTOP FOR ANYTHING,
but keep close after me. Somebody has
been throwing this train off the track, and
I’m going to catch him.”
When the train arrived at the usual
place it struck a misplaced rail and was
banked. Tbe engineer, closely followed
by the fireman, jumped lrocn the engine
and ran into a cornfield and shined up a
man that lay concealed there. Upon
bringing the culprit back to tbe wreck
the enraged passengers wanted to lynch
him, but the engineer, a stern, cold, de
termined man, prevented them, sayiDg
that be would take charge of him, and
through the intercession of the conductor
the trembling wretch was left in charge
of the engineer. The train was righted
and was soon speeding on its way. The
prisoner, who had confessed his fiendish
ness, had been seated on the engine and
the fireman placed beside'bim a3 a guard.
When the train was on a smooth piece of
track, bowling along at a speed of twenty-
five miles an hoar, the engineer beckoned
tbe fireman to stand out of tbe way. The
firefttan stepped aside, and the engineer
picked op a round stick of wood and
struck the criminal such a blow upon the
head that it stunned him. He then caught
the quivering form of the poor wretch,
and, opening the furnace doors, threw bis
body into the hot, seething hell of flame.
The doors were shut, the train rattled
along, end never, until npon his death
bed the engineer confessed tbe act, was it
ascertained what had been the fate of the
fiend who had been in the habit of throw
ing the train off the track.
[Iadi nhti-potis Sentinel
Tbe levees of President Washington were
far more select and rational than those ot
his successors have been for tbe last few
years. They were nameronsly attended
by all who were fashionable and refined
of society; but there were no places for
the intrusion of the rabble in crowds, or
for the more coarse and boisterous parti
san—the vulgar electioneerer—or the im
pudent place-hunter, with boots and frock
coat, or with patched knees, and holes at
both elbows. Ofi the contrary, they were
select and more courtly than have been
given by auy one holding the same office
since. Proud of her husband’s exalted
fame, aad jealous of the honors due not
only to his own lofty character, but to
tbe dignified station to which a grateful
country had called him, Mrs. Washington
was careful in her drawing-rooms to exact
those courtesies to which she knew the
President was entitled.
Fortunately, moreover, the rudeness of
the presenfday had not then so far gained
the asceudency as to ban:sh good m tu
ners, and the charms of social intc-rconrse
were heightened by a reasonable attention
In tbe best circles to those forms and
usages which indicate the well-bred as-
mblage, and throw around it au air of
elegance aod grace which only the envious
affect to decry, and only the vulgar ridi
cule and contemn. Noue, therefore, were
admitted to the levees but those who had
aright by official sta'ion to be there, or
were entitled to the privilege by estab
lished merit and character; and fall dress
was rtquired of all. Some show, if not-of
state, at least of respect, for tbe high offi
cer to be visited, whs exacted down to the
close of Mr. Madison’s administration.
Mr. Monroe required less formality and
attention to dress, and the second Presi
dent Adams less still.
Mr. J . Washington was a pleasing and
agreeable rather than a brilliant woman.
Her figure was not commanding, bat her
manners were easy, conciliatory, and at
tractive. Her domestic arrangements
were always concerted und*-r her own
eye, and everything wiihiu her household
moved torward with the regularity of ma
chinery. No daughter ot Eve ever wor
shipped her lord with more sincere and
affectionate veneration ; and none had
ever greater cause to render homage.
When absent he was ever in her thoughts,
and her mild eyes kindled at bis presence.
She was well educated, aud possessed
strong native seos^, guided by all neces
sary prudence and discretion. She rarely
conversed upon political subjects, aud
when the most expert diplomatists would
attempt to draw her out, *8he had the
faculty of turning the conversation with
equal dexterity and politeuess. At all the
President’s entertainments, whether at
the table or in the drawing-room, not
withstanding the regard to etiquette here
tofore reverted to, there was nevertheless
so much kindness of feeling displayed,
aud such an unaffected degree of genuine
hospitality, that golden opinions were won
alike from the foreign and domestic vis-
itots.
Ia those days, also, late hoars were not
necessary, and many of our fair metro
politan readers who are in the habit of
dressing at ten to enter a drawing-room
at eleven, will doubtless be surprised to
learn that Mrs Washington’s levees closed
always at mne.
This was a rule which that distinguished
lady established on the occasion of buldiDg
her first levee, on the evening of Jauuary
1, 1790. The President’s residence was
iu the old Frauklin House, in this city, at
the head of Cherry street. The day was
uncommonly mild aud pleasant. The
moon was full, and the air was so bland
and serene that the ladies attended in their
light summer dresses. Having been in
troduced by the aides aud gentlemen in
waiting, t- a, coffee, plain and plnm cake
were handed around. Familiar and
friendly conversation ensued, and kind
inquiries on the part of Mrs. Washington
after the families of the exiles, with whom
she had b en acquainted: during the Rev
olutionary War. and who always received
marked attention from Gen. Washington.
Mrs Washington stood by the »-ide of
the General m receiving the respects of
the visitors. Amid the »o<»ial chit-chat of
the evening the clock struck mu®. Men.
Washington thereupon rose with dignity,
and looking aroaud the circle with a com
placent smile, observed, “The General al
ways retires at nine, and I usually precede
him.” At tnis hint the ladies instantly
rose, adjusted their drestes made their
salutations and retired
Gan. Washington had on that day been
waited upon by the principal gentlemeo
of the city, according to the ancient New
York custom of society and convivial New
Year’s visiting. AH er having been severally
introduced, and having paid the usual
compliments of the season, the citizens
interchanged greetings and withdrew,
South Carolina Ku-Klnx—The Case of
the Baptist Minister Ezell.
A Co umbia (S C.) letter to the Cincin
nati Commercial (Radical) gives some par
ticulars of the conviction of Rev. John
S. Ezell, a prominent Biptist minister of
Spartanburg, whose 6entendefor complic
ity iu the Ku-Ktux has heretofore been
mantioned. Mr. Ez_.l. through his coun
sel, submitted affidavits and petitions :n
his behalt praying for mercy. The Rev.
gentleman himseif read a written state
ment, telling all abont his connection
with the Kiau. He-had joined because
he bad been told that nearly everybody
elf»e in the country belonged to it, aud
thought it a good thing. He repeated the
oath of the KtaD, which binds the parties
forever to stand by the Constitution as
originally made by our forefathers, to do
all in their power against the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,
protect women, regulate society, pr; Tent
crime, Ac. The penalty lor divulging
auy of the stcieis, oaths, grips and pass
words of the Kiau was death. He had
joined in 1871; had never been on a raid,
neter »aw one, and nobody could com
plain of any act cf his, but by joining
and participating in the Kiau oounoils he
had prevented many persons from being
troubled. He bad visited other Klaus in
adjoinibg counties, but he had hever at
tended a grand count il, which was made
np of representatives from subordinate
Klaus. He said be was now sorry that he
had ever belonged to soch an orga»izi-
tion; that it bad not turned out to t e such
a good thing as he at fin>t supposed. One
object m joining was to restrain young
meu and prevent them from going to ex
tremes.

Jadge Bond—“Have you now a congraf
gatrou ?”
“Yes, sir; my chnfch aud congregation
are at Spartanburg.”
“How many of your congregation be
long to theKu-Klux?”
“I do not know, but the most of them,
I suppose. Nearly everybody in. that
neighborhood had joined the K!an, and
among them are, ol coarse, a number of
my congregation.”
“Did yoa ever preach from the pulpit
against the organization or any of its acts?”
“No, sir, for if I had been so disposed,
such a coarse would not Lave been safe.
Nor indeed did I believe there was safety
outside the Kian.”
“Do you now think you should not have
joined ?”
“From the torn matters have taken, I
think I would have been better off not to
have joined ?”
“Did yon ever know any other clergy
man to beloug to it?”
“No, sir.”
“Didn’t the Rev. Mr. Carpenter run
away for fear of being arrested for belong
ing to it?”
“Oh, yes; but he"is a Methodist; I am
a Baptist minister.” [Laughter.]
“Then, even if you uid not agree in
theology, you agreet^in the creed of the
Ku-Klux.”
“Did you ever advise the breaking up
of the organization?”
“Yes, sir; I have attended no meeting
of the K'an since June last, when lad-
vised that it be broken np.”
“This was after tLe act of Congress was
passed, was it not?”
“Yes, sir.”
“If it was a charitable organization or
good organization, why the need of break
ing it up ?”
“Because in some lccalities it was being
carried too far.”
The judge then said: “Mr. Ezell, I find
myself placed in a very embarrassing
position. Other parties^your inferiors in
mtellect. influence, and everything els»,
these prisoners here, I have sentenced;
these youug men had a right to look np
to you for advice, and you should have
counseled them to have kept clear of such
a murderous organization. Instead of
this, I find that you have been a member
of the Klan, sitting in its councils and en
couraging it with your presence. You
appeal to me for mercy, although you
show no good reason why you should
have mercy. You must make your ap
peal to the President. lean show you no
leniency here. The sentence of the court
is that you be fined five hundred dollars
and imprisoned five year?.”
It fell beavily upon Mr. Ezell. H t is a
mad of family, has always stood hills in
♦he church, and is beloved by his congre
gation. it he is a bad man at heart, there
is nothing in his mild, pleas .nt f— *-
show it.
The Sea Island Land*.
The original hold, rs ot the Sea Island
lan-s m J.oath Carolina have now a pos
sibility ot reclaiming them. Th.se lands,
though of limited extent, constitute the
very finest cotton area in the world. They
were confiscated by the United S'ates
Government during the civil war. Since
tb©D they have been mainly occupied by
negrots who “squatted"down” on them.
At the commencement of tbe present
month the time expired in which n*vy
and army pnrcha-eis could pay the bal
ances due and acquire title. Bot very few
persons availed themselves of this privi
lege, and consequently a very large
amount of property is now open for re
demption by the former owners. They
may new take their properly by proving
title and paying taxes and interest There
are, however, serious difficulties in the
way ot doing 30 to any considerable ex
tent In the first place, the process of
redemption has been needlessly compli
cated by State legislation, so that in fnany
cases the Government can only get rid of
the land by s4Ie. It is also found that
plantations have been so cut up by the
arbitrary system of surveying, suitable
only to wes.ern wild lands, sold out
here a piece hdJ there a bit, that
the former owners will hesitate before
even paying taxes on what is left to
them. In no instance is a plantation
entire ; in hundreds of cases there
are bits of land of fractional parts of
an acre unsold, surrouuded by ten afire
lots iu the possession of purchasers. In
the town of Beaufort affairs are not so
bad. Of the one hundred and sixty-eigbt
blocks and lots into which the town is di
vided probably one-baif are open to re-
deuip'icn. Tne school larm reservations
never having passed out of the possession
of the Government are not subject to re
demption by their owners. Thtse tracts
vary in size from eighty to one hundred
and sixty acres. 8ome of ihem contain
the piant^on-houses, a«'d are mainly
cleared, arable lands. Some ot the e
plact 8 were form.riy occupied by the
aristocracy of South Carolina, and were
di.stingai'J.TO lor their elegauce. Nearly
all the lands on Hilton Head. Dawfuskie
and Bail Isiaud are open to redemption.
D is questionable, b- w.vrr, whether the
form r owners c n 4>o ho to any great ex
tent, a.-i they n t* geucrbl'.y poor, aifd una
ble 10 rai-e ihe amount of back t xes due.
H is proposed that the State, in view of
their poverty and sufferings, shall remit
the taxes for five or ten years. But it is
very donbtfal whether the negro Legisla
ture of South Carolina will adopt any
coarse calculated to benefit the former
owners of these lands. Ultimately tbe
lands are likely to pas* under the control
of an entirely new class. As a place of
winter resort for wealthy persons or in
valids, who desire to escape tbe rigor of
our Northern climate, they seem to pre
sent most tempting advantages.

The Latest Story About Jay Gould —
According to report, Jay Gould has re
cently made some lucky hits iu the Lon
don stock exchange. The latest story
relative to Jay runs as follows :—For sev
eral days past the European cable din-
patches hav d anuounced numerous failnres
among tbe speculators there who have
been selling calls on Erie stocks, which
is equal to selling the stock short for a
dec ine, and one large London house—
Bentley & Co.,—is announced to have
failed on 40.000 sharoP, being unable to
meet their contract. Just previous to the
Boston fire. Jay sent a prominent Broad
street snecnlator to London, with letters
of creiit to a large amount, with orders to
quietly boy calls upon an immense num
ber of shares. The stock in New York,
according to this story, had been depressed
by Gould about ten per cent., and was
made to look very weak on purpose tc in
duce the English speculates to sell calls
at cheap ra;e-*. No dispatches were sent
by cable for fear of the operation leaking
out, and the market for Erie was kept
down until the return of the New York
agent, who came by tbe steamer City of
Brussels, two weeks ago, when the calls
were all secured, the trap was sprung,
and Erie shares ran up ten per cent,
within two days. Gould’s profits in the
London market are estimated at $5,000,-
000.—N. Y. Star, Jan. 1st
The Apache War in Arizona. —San
Francisco, January 2.—The troops that
have been ooerating against* the Apaches
near Camp Verde, in-Arizona, returned to
their camp December 17th. Lieutenant
Rice, commanding a detachment ol tbe
fifth cavalry and the Hualapa scouts,
fought the Apaches twice in the Red
Rock county, killing thirty warriors, cap-
taring several women with their children,
aDd destroying large quantities of Indian
supplies. A detachment under Captain
Price captured eleven prisoners, mostly
women. Another expedition destroyed
several camps. General Crook has bis
entire mounted force in the field, and
they are moving in every direction against
tbe Indians. Captain Randall’s force had
several engagements in Louto Basin, and
killed twenty-five warriors and captured
their women and.ehildren.
A sewing-circle was quickly broken up
at Gardiner, Me., tbe other day, by the
innooent remark of a lady present: “I
always bad a great desire to know how a
case of small pox looked, so I called on a
sick lady this afternoon, jiet before com
ing to the circle.'*
of it will be keept ou^ ot sight, and there
wiRribe a general confession in the style ef
ar^o d-fashioned Methodist lova leist.
When this has gone abroad the committee
will begin short sessions with open doors,
and witnesses will be examined, who will
each occupy a day or two, but who will
know nothing, or, rather, tell nothing not
already told and knowu. All this time the
end of the session will be drawing nearer
and nearer, and the whole thing will fiz
zle out inglorioasly. Tb* next Congress
cannot investigate the conduct of Ames,

Not only will the Credit Mobilier stock
owners come back into the House iu an
aggressive spirit, “pride in their port, de

those Representatives who own stock in
national banks, “Stand by us or we will
aid in destroying you.” It is well known
that scores of Congressmen are tbe for
tunate holders of stock in national banks,
which yields them enormous rates of in
terest, "thaDks to defective legislation, by
which it is easy fora bank to extort usuri
ous interest from borrowers. This is well
knowu to the Credit Mobilier men, who
mcau that national bank men shall help
them out of their scrape. Should tbe yeas

watch the votes of thos^ who thus have a
common cause to defend.

The Hidden Treasures of Peru.—As
the gold mines of Peru have now become
very nearly exhausted, and the burial-
place of the Ioc&s have been entirely
despoiled of articles cf value, the treasure
seekers are forced to & very romantic if
not altogether plausible expedient to re
trieve their hopes. It has long been a
tr.idition in Pern that in a sepulchre,
situated near the sufnmit of a high moun
tain, a few miles from Atequipa, gold to
the value of about thirteen millions dol
lars was buried. About a year ago some
adventurous foreigners ascended the
mountain with a party of Indian guides
and laborers. They dug at the place point
ed out by the Indians, aud found a hand
some vault of burnt brick. In tbe vault
lay tbe dried qd remains of an old Peru
vian queen. On her wrists were brace
lets of silver, but no gold could be dis
covered. Owing to the rarity of the at
mosphere, tbe adventurers were forced to
return to Arequipa, without having com
pleted tjtieir explorations, leaving this mys
terious deposit'of gold to share the fate of
the treasures of Captain Kidd.

side a roll of greenbacks and stow it away

relieved the showman of his precioos

The Late South Carolina Senatorial
Election.—A correspondent of the Cin
cinnuti Commercial has been down to Cc
lumbia, the capital of South C»iro ina, and
hai: inquire-l into the particulars of the
recent Senatorial election there, and as
serts that tbe fact that John J. Pattefson
bought his ek-fction to the Uuited States
Senate, fairly and squarely, .is as clearly
esUbliohed an that the* sun Hbines at noon
day. The tour candidates for Senator
were Scedt, Elliott. Patterson and Sawyer.
Scott ran upon his record of long devotion
to the colored people as Governor, and his
establishment of n-gro equality in bis own
house; Eiiiott had no capital save bis per
sonal abiliiy and his color; Sawyer, the
present Senator, claimed a re-election, and
Patterson, witboat perse ral of political
c mseqaence or standing, depended upon
the use of money. Patterson had bten
in the State sometime—he was formerly a
member of the Pennsylvania Legislature
—and, on several previous occasions, h*d
purchased the passage of bills through tbe
Legislature.
He was known to the members as a man
having money, and as one who, on all pre
vious occasions, had promptly paid up all
bis contracts for votes. When he told the
members he wonld pay so much for each
vole, it elected, bis word vas accepted
without doubt. Governor Scott had been
promised the great majority of the negro
vote, bat the members frankly told him
that they were offered so much per head
to vote tor Patterson, and unless he could
pay as much, they would have to go for
Patterson. Scott refased to pay, and he
only received eight out of the one hundred
and fifty votes. Elliott, who is nnq es-
tionabiy the ablest colored man in public
life, was deserted by his fellow negroes,
sdJ got but thirty-three votes. Pattersoo
was elected upon the first ballot, having
a dear majority in each house. The fact
that he had bought votes was noterious;
it wus not disguised. To get the sixteen
votes necessary to obtain a majority in the
Senate it is said he paid $25,000. The
entire cost of his election was about
$60,000. [This is about the price they
pay ia Kansas J
The night after his election he was ar
rested upon a charge of bribery, and
though he was di.-churged by Judge Mack
ey on habeas corpus, tne examining mag
istrate has sent the papers before the
grund jury, and the attorney general pro
poses to prosecute the case. Mr. Elliott
st«t* 8 that a protest reciting all the facts,
sustained by affidavits, will be pres< nted
to the St nate after the bolidtys, and he
hopes that the Senate will refuse to admit
a man who has fo unblushiDgly bough!

the shame and dishonor thrown upon the
colored race by the open Bate of their
votes by the colored members of the Leg
islature.— Chicago Tribune.
A California Murderer’s Dreadful
Christmas Eve.—At Visalia, California,
on Christmas eve, a ruffian named James
McCrory, who had already killed Bcme
four or five persons in that vicinity, shot
an intimate friend in cold blood and with
out the slightest provocation, firing de
liberately five times till he killed him.
After a desperate fight with the police
McCrory wa seized and conveyed to jail,
but the citizens were so incensed that
they determined to lynch him. The jail
was broken into and the prisoner dragged
out of the prison by an infuriated crowd.
They threw a rope around the villain’s
Deck, palled him along to the Court street
bridge, and after firmly securing the rof# f
flung him over the railing of the bridge.
He fell a distance of vome five feet, and,
after waiting to see that life was totally
extinct, tbe crowd dispersed, leaving the
corpse in its semi-nude state, with the
rain pouring upon it in torrents.
