Letter from Darien.
A Steamer Sauk—The Coart Hoase
Burnt to the Ground—Two Wight*
ofExci(cmcut-*The Magnolia Houite
Besieged.
[Special Correspondence of the Morning News.]
Darien, January 29. 1873.
Friday night last the steamer Nick King
snagged a mile below town and began to
ill w^h water. Captain King succeeded
in ruuni g her up to tho Dariea wharf
and the head-line was flung out and made
fast, but she wa t sinking so fast that there
was no lime to laud passengers, much
less freight. The line was cut and she
drifted to the opposite side ol the river,
where the water is comparatively shallow.
There was som;; excitement, but fortu
nately no lives were lost. The passougers
were landed in Kmall boats, some crying
loudly for hylp. Those on shore render
ed every possible assistance. Much of the
freight was injured by water. She will be
raised ia a few days.
THE COURT HOUSE BURNT.
Saturday night, between the honrs of
eight and nine, the Court House was dis
covered iu flames. It was evidently the
wbrk ol an incendiary. The County Com
missioners have offered a reward of $200
tor the arr. st and conviction of the gni.ty
party The Conrt House was built since
the war at a cost of five thousand dollars,
and was not qaite finished or paid tor.
A jailor’s boas- had just been built, and
a nigh aud substantial fence, inclosing
that part used as a penitentiary, at a cost
of one thousand dollars.
The loss to the county is six thousand
dollars, together with the archives, which
were all burnt. It a a heavy blow, oa the
county, as the finances, by previous mis
management for several years, arain a bad
condition.
The county papers are quite a loss,
and will be likely to create much confu
sion. The papers burnt date b*ck as far
as 1785—they might have b«*on saved
could a Udder have been found. It is
always so.
TWO NIGHTS or EXCITEMENT.
Darien has not been so much excited
nince the war, au^ it is to be hoped she
may not be till another war tak»s piace,
which, as one of our .citizens said, he
hoped would be way down in the visia of the
future. ^
Ladies crying for help, to be s.tved from
drowning, and the fire-king lighting n t
the heavens and threatening other bnilJ
ings r- jth flaming tongues, w?.g enough to
quicken the blood in the vein*. Many
have not got over the excitement yet, aud
are going around with a wild look. One
person fainted, and all the rest lost two
nights’ re*a. Morpheas is above par now.
This is a changing world.
THE MAGNOLIA HOUSE BESIEGED.
The passengers, numbering about fifty,
went ' > the Magnolia House, where they
had a jolly time. Most of them were from
the North and on their way to Florida
Our gimHemanly landlord, Mr. A. E.
Car, is equal to any emergency, and with
a akill ind tact peealiar to landlords,
very readily accommodated all, so much
so that all seem contented aud happy.
It is qui'e lively now aboat the hotel.
The ladies add much to the gaiety. This
house is well patronized generally, but
now it is full. Two billiard tables are at
tbs service of the guests, and help them
to while the honra away!
Time is up now. Lightning.
Horrible Case op Infanticide.—Jef-
f-rson City, Mo., is at present aomawhat
excited over an unusually horrible case of
infanticide, the youth aud unquestionable
beauty of the guilty mother adding not a
little to the sensational interests of the
crime. Amanda Letter, a rosy-cheeked,
bine-eyed German blonde, whose counte
nance .nd form fail completely to tell ot
a deoraved heart, on the let of last June
became the wife of Edward hneider, a
fireman on the Missouri Pacific Railroad,
and, unfortunately for their connubial fe
licity, lass than six months afterwards
gave birth to a bright-eyed boy, whom
Schneider refused to recognize *4 his, bat
pronounced a bastard. This led to many
quarre s between him and the fair
^ALuanda, and to an infamous agreement
sbe should leave their home and go
”st. L juis to ther© leal a life of shame.
This hettled, tho idease6ms to have enter
ed her head that she should kill her child
before departing. An unsuccessful effort
to smother it to death by laying on ;t in
bed, and another to freeze it to d«ath, by
pbttiag it out for hours in a cold room,
were therefore promptly followed by a
third, anu, this time, successful effort to
destroy it on Tuesday evening, the 18th.
Left alone with it, she locked and barri
caded the front door of her home, fasten
ed the other doors and all the windows,
got an axe, laid the child on a block
brought in from the wood-pile, and with
wo blows of the axe almost completely
sever* d the child’s head from its body.
Some minutes later the husband and some
neighbors broke open the doers and found
the Wi-mun alone with the dead, crying
and mattering incoherently to herself.
Arretted and imprisoned, she has repeat
edly acknowledged the terrible crimo, but
oiten with such strange expression! that
many too charitably deem her crazy; *bnt
more look npon her as nothing less than
h fiend in human form, led by vice and
domestic infelicity to this horrible butch
ery of her own offspring.

How John Chinaman Got a Bed to
Himself.—Tne following incident is re
ported to have occurred on a railroad
recently not a thousand miles from Au
gusta:
There were two seats in the car turned
so as to lace each other. Oue was oc
cupied by a lady and the other by a
Chinaman. She explained to him that
she wished to take the cushions and their
frames and place them lengthwise across
from seat to seat. John said “all rightee,”
and got out in the aisle, and she pro
ceeded to lie down on the bed thus im
provised, with her head resting on her
valise. She supposed that the Chinaman
would Like the hiut that the lady wanted
to reA in the space usually occupied by
four persons. Bat John at once pro
ceeded to crawl in aud stretch himself by
her side, with his head on a little bundle
of his own. The Chinese are an imitative
rac9, and like to do as others do, yon
know. Tae lady, «s soon as she dis
covered that she had a bed-follow, got up
a little wildly, and started for the n#xt
car, to the ^infinite amusement of the
passengers, who had been watching the
sc< ne with some interest. John took to
notice of the fun he had created, but
went to sleep with the whole bed to him
self.
Black Snow.—The Keokuk (Iowa) Con
stitution of the 13th says: “Ou last Tues
day afternoon commtncod the great snow
storm of the winter, and tho greatest
storm of the West tor many years. It
continued until Wednesiay afternoon;
then set in a furious wind, which took the
snow from the hills and piled it up in 1^®
valleys. On Thursday morning the in
habitants of the northern portion of this
State, when they awoke, were not a little
surprised at seeing the earth covered with
a black Mislead of a white garment, as it
was cn the night before. This strange
and nnnatural phenomenon is accounted
for on the supposition that after the wind
had swept the snow off the hills then the
dry earth was taken up and scattered over
the face of the snow, givftig it this pecu
liar coloring. This would be a satisfac
tory exp anation if this unusual appear
ance had been confine i to localities, but
accounts say it was general.”
The United States Government appears
to be exercised upon the subject of eman
cipation in Cuba. All well enough;
slavery id unquestionably aD evil, n J ucl J
to be deprecated wherever it may exist, it
is to be lamented, however, that the Gov
ernment should confine its sympathy up
on the subject to the negro only; the
slavery of a large portion of onrown race,
much nearer home, is as abject as any
that ever tightened the bonds of an
African, Sonth Carolina, Alabama, Louisi
ana and Arkaqsas, for instance. Let CnDa
be free, but lets emancipate our white
slaves first.—Richmond Whig.
Radicalism at the South.
[From the Loudon Standard. January 3 ]
Almost every mail irom America brings
us some new lilnstralion of the miserable
condition of tbe Southern S:atea, under j
the rule of the party which has acquired
another four years’ lease of power. Three
facts, concerning three of the noblest
States of the old Union, are noted m a
single paper. Lomsiaua has fallen into
3uch utter anarchy that two aeveral sets
ot State officers and two separate Legis
latures have claimed the obedience of me
citizens; of which, it would seem, that
neither party was even decently respecta
ble, and the quarrel was altogether so dis
reputable that, though the interests of the
dominant faction at Wasuing on were in
volved, General Grant shrank at first from
interference. Finally, be decided to in
terpose in behalf of his friends, and, sup
ported by a decree of the Supreme Court
of the Union, (which stems to have aboat
as much to do with the matter, under
ancient constitutional rules, as the Court
of Qaeefl’e Bench), he has ordered the
Federal troops to uphold the authority of
the party represented by the negro Lieu
tenant Governor Pinchbaok—the party
more odions of the two to the respectable
people of Lonisiana. The Legislature of
Souih Carolina, from which the South
Carolinians are excluded, and which s
composed of emancipated negroes and
Northern adventurers, has elected as
United States Senator a member of the
latter class, who has secure » his election
by wholesale purchases ol the votes of ue-
ijro Legislators. A dispu e arose there
upon, aud one of the supporters of the
beaten (negro) candidate expressed his
disgust in such very explicit language as
led, in American parlance, to “a free tight”
around the Speaker’s chair.
Finally, the State of Alabama, once
among the most solvent aud best trusted
in the Union, has parchased and sold a
railwaj; and, having neither paid tho
money for the first purchase nor received
that for the second, is exposed to tho
humiliation of seeing the property held
«ud sold under au order in bankruptcy.
It is needless to say that no such thing*
could have Happened under the old
reqime. Men lik« Warmoth and Pinch-
back would never have been elected to
govern th* citizms of Lonisiana while
the Southern whites elected their own
rulers. A Patterson would never have
dreamt of offering himself a* a candidate
tor the seat once filled by J^haC. Cal-
honn; and if ho had, his election would
have been as impossible as the receipt of
bribes by the chivalry of the Palmetto
State. Aud iu tne old days Alabama’s
credit was as good as tba: of Canada; and
her citizens were as justly proud and
jetriQU.* of her financial honor as English
men of the fiscal credit and '^ood faith of
England. These wretched scenes are
part and parcel of reconstruction pur
sued by a Radical Congress, and ap
plauded by English Liberals. The first
object of that system wa3 revenge—the
punishment and degradation of the South
ern “rebels.” The second was tbe estab
lishment of Radical ascendancy in the
South. The Radicals know that at tho
timo of Lincoln’s election they were a
minority in tho North; and after the war,
which had given them the ascendancy
there, was over, they might become a
minority again. Bat if they could ap
propriate the franchises of the Southern
Slates to their creatures, and thus secure
a number of “rotten boroughs,” whose
representatives would be nominated by
themselves, without regard to the wishes
of the people, they might contrive, though
iu a popular minority everywhere, to
maintain themselves in possession of the
Presidency, the electoral college, and a
majority in both branches of Congress.
Iu order to effect these ends, it was neces
sary to disfranchise the real people of the
South, and create a “bogus” people in
their stead.
The first wss done by means of the pcnsl
acts so lavishly passed by Congress.
America prides herself npon having shad
no blood on the scaffold. It is trao that
she did not, as other conquering Govern
msnts have done, taka the lives of the
chiefs of tho vanquished party. Bat it is
sqnally true that she has inflicted upon
the conquered people, as a whole, heavier
punishmont than has ever been imposed
by modern conqacrors npon a large por
tion of their subjects. Wholesalo disfran
chisement, subjection to the rule of en
franchised slaves, aud a systtmof govern
ment directed tc fleece the conqnered
country for the benefit of its conquerors,
have, for seven or eight years, perpetua
ted distress and exasperated the bitter
feelings left by a war carried on with un
usual ferocity. In half the States of tho
South a negro constituency, organized
under the leadership of adventurers from
the North, has monopolized political pow
er; has excluded the Southerners from all
participation in the control of their own
affairs; has taxed them without allowing
them representation, and misspent the
produce ot those taxes in such a manner
as to add tho keenest sense of humiliation
to the bitterest consciousness of injury.
The honor of States as honorable as Great
Britaii has been dragged in the dust;
their debts have been left unpaid while
their people have been fleeced; their ru
lers have filled their own pockets with the
produce of unlawful bonds issued at an
enormous discount; and whiie the ne
groes, who pay no taxes, have been k?pt
in good hnmor by libera! appropriations,
none of the real Deeds of the country have
been attended to.
The forces of the Federal Government
have been at the disposition of the pecu
lators and jobbers from the North who ex
ploit the negrees for their own benefit.
All remonstrance has been vain. It was
as easy as it was useless to expose the in
justice, to foreshow the effects, of such a
polioy. The Radical majority in Congress
cared neither tor tbe injustice, nor the
conscquenses, so long as they profited by
the one and th6 Southerners soffered by
the other. They maintained and aggra
vated a tariff which compels the Southern
planter or farmer to pay twice the valua of
everything he buys—taxes him, that is, to
the lull extent of bis proper yearly outlay
on implement*, clothing, everything
necessary to bis cultivation, not for the
benefit of the Union, but for the personal
advantage of Northern traders and manu
facturers. Show them that this ia to ruin
the Sonth, and they are all the better
pleased; for hostility to the Southern
people is the avowed policy of their party.
Gallant and high-spirited cations have
been misgoverned before now. Hungary
and Venetia were ill-ruled after 1849, but
at least their rulers have intended them
to prosper if they would bat be content
Bat never before has a nation been gov
erned as tbe Sonth has been governed
since 1865. by rulers whose avowed ob
ject is to punish and injure them—never
before have rulers been the open enemies
of the cocntry they ruled.
It is in vain, of coarse, to appeal to
such a faction against the folly of their
course. Bat we might havo thought that
those who had no selfish end to gain
must have seen that every object, we do
not say inherently good, but decently
plausible, mast suffer by sach a policy.
Grant that the w elfare of the negro is of
indefinitely more moment than that of
the white man—grant that it is right to
sacrifice the latter as completely as may
be necessary for the elevation of the for
mer—grant more than the wildest of ne-
grophile fanatics would dare to claim—
is it not clear that to embitter tbe strong
against the weak, the larger number
against the smalltr, the higher race
against the lower, must eDd in the ruin
of tbe latter ? Tho present state of thioga
cannot last forever, and every year that it
lasts makes the change more .dangerous
to the haplet.8 creatures who are made the
tools of oppression and injustice.
It is proposed to pay a yeai’s Presiden
tial salary for a painting unknown to art
as “The First Reading of the Emancipa
tion Proclamation." The bill cunningly
obviates objection by providing that when
bought the picture shall be kept “for the
use of Congress.” It is proper that body
should endure such penance as a constant
contemplation of this production.— World.
A Strange Casualty.—Cairo., Ill, Jan
uary 27.—John Hunt, colored, while
employed in slaughtering hogs to-day,
placed the bntt of a rifle on the ground
with the muzzle leaning against his
breast, when his powder horn fell on the
hammer in such a manner as to discharge
the pieoe, killing him instantly.
A GREAT BEAR HUNT.
Dexperate Fight Bftween Two Men
h nd Four Beast* — Pike County
Aroused.
Blooming Grove, Pa,, Janaary 23.—A
few days since Bart Hazea and another
man named SLater, two well known hunt
ers of this seciion, discovered the tracks
of several bears near this place. Signs of
bear at this season of the year being a
most nnusn-il occurrence, they determin
ed to f .'l!ow them up and, if possible, cap
ture or kill the animals. Taking their
rifl-s, Shafer and H:zen started on the
trail, and bef >r^ti<^y had followed it a
great way they came up to oue of the
nears. When it discovered the hunters it
star ed briskly away, but was hit by a ball
from one of the rifles. This only added
to the .-peed of its flight and it was soon
oat of sight, going towards the High
Knob, north of the Blooming Grove
Park. Besides the track leL in the snow
by its feet a trail of blood also marked th^
coarse the bear took, showing that the'
ball had taken effect somewhere npon it.
Tne wonnded bear kept in the trail of its
companions and the hnnters were confi
dent of ultimately coming upon them alt
in their winter quarters. The tracks led
to tue south side of the kDob, where they
entered a dense laurel thicket. Hazen and
Shafer made their way into this and
finally came to where a largo tree had
fallen, the roots of which had torn ont a
large quantity of earth, by a huge rock,
formieg a deep and dark cavern. The
month of this was closed bj laurels and
boughs broken off aud evidently placed
by the bears themselves. Into this cavern
all the tracks led, except that of the
wounded bear. This one passed on aloDg
the foot of tho monutaia, leaving its
bloody trail.
When Shufer and Hazen fonnd that the
bear* were brought to bay, they set about
to find means to get them out in order
that they might get a shot. They coaid
tell from tho tracks that there were at
least four of the animals in the cavern,
two old ones and two cabs. The hnnters
were anxious that bat one of the bears
should come out at once, as they would
have more than their hands full in any
other event. They finally decided to
build a fire at tile month of the cave and
smoke ont the inmates, being ready to
shoot the instant one appeared. One of
the men crept cautiously ap to the cavern,
and Ptartefi a fire us far inside a* he dare
vent are, and then retreated. Tney both
stood ready to shoot. In a short time a
movement was seen among the laurels,
and the head of a huge sh# bear appeared.
Her actions so surprised the hnnters,
however, that neither .of them fired. She
coolly approached the fire they had bniit
aud trampled it out with her feet, aud
with an angry growl rotreated into the
lair. The flro was rebuilt and again the
bear appeared and smothered it with her
paws. Seeing that the singular intelli
gence of Ike brute would foil *heir attempt
at smoking the bears ont, the men de
termined to reb :ild the fire, and when
the bear again came ont to smother it risk
shooting her in the very mouth of the
den. Tho firo was started again, and as
before the old bear came out, this time
growling and snarling and trampling the
burning boughs in a terrible fury. Before
she had finished, however, a ball from
Shafer’s rifle went crashing into her brain.
Raising on her haanches and breaking
through the tangled laurels, shs rushed
ont of the cave with her jaws wide open,
bat fell dead before she had taken halt a
• dozen paces in the clearing the banters
had made in the thicket before commenc
ing their operations.
ibis lncky shot emboldened and en
couraged Hazi-n and Shafer to continue
thetr line of attack. After drawing the
carcas of the dead bear away Hazen crept
ag .in to the mouth of the den, and was
about lighting another tire, when the
mate of the bear jaat killed mshed ont,
and raising up on its hind feet made di- j
rectly,for Hazen, who had sprang to his
fe»:t when he heard the approach of the
bear from within, but not in time to re
treat. Hazen stood between Shafer and
the boar, aud the latter did not dare to
fire lor fear of shooting his companion.
Besides, they had not calculated on such
*n event as this, and were totally unpre
pared to maul i'.. Theie was no time to
lose, however, lor the enraged brute had
his immense paws on Hazeo’s shoulder*
before he had fairly recovered from his
surprise. Fortunately he had in its
sheath by his side his hunting hatchet,
ibis he quickly drew out, and before the
bear could g 1 him in its embrace he dealt
it a terrible blow on the side ol the head,
bringing it to the ground. Instead of
springing back oat of the way and giving
Suafer an opportunity to shoot the am- 1
mal, Hazen continued the attack with his J
hatchet, and tho contest at once became
again a hand to hand one. Hazen is a
young but powerful man, ami agile as a
c it, which eavo him considerable advau- |
tage iu the fight. Notwithstanding this
bnater soon saw that his companion coaid |
not long stand up against the immense
power of the bear, and, not daring to
shoot, he too unsheathed his hatchet, and
rushed to Hazen’s aid, attacking the bear
in the rear.
The shaggy brute maintained his
ground against his two assailants for a
short time, but dually from iosa of blood
and lack of that strength which at any
ether season would have been much
greater, he was forced to succumb,, and
fell bleeding and dying at their feet. A
nfle bail ended the existence he had so
fiercely battled to maintain. Hazen’s
clothing was aboat all torn from him. He
received several ugly flesh wounds on
various parts of his body. These were
dressed, and after a short rest tho hnnters
concluded to finish the other two bears
that remained in the cavern. These they
knew were onbs, and they did not antici
pate any great difficulty in dealing with
them. They determined to adhere to the
smoking process, and accordingly a tire
was made farther in the cave, and soon
dense smoke penetrated to every corner
of it. Bat a few minutes elapsed before
a bear was heard breaking through the
laurels in a different place from that at
whioh the first two had gone out. Pres
ently it broke through. It was about half
grown. Casting a hasty glance around at
the hunters, it started to run off in the
opposite direction. Its course was
slopped by a ball striking it in the fore
leg. Bear-like, it raised op on its
hannohes at this and turned a fall front
to the hnnters, growlingand snarling furi
ously. Another shot brought it to the
ground and killed it.
Shafer and Hazen were positive that
there was another bear in the lair, bat all
attempts at smoking him cat failed.
Neither of the hnnters car«d to venture
within t e cave, as they had had quite
enough of wrestling with a bear. Failing
to get the bear to come out, they began
reconnoitering for a place where they
could see into the don, with the object of
shooting the remaining bear. They
finally succeeded in cutting a hcle through
thd laurels at a point from where tbe in
terior cf the oavern could be seem Build
ing a large fire to light it up within, they
discovered the hear crouched back in the
farthest corner against a rock. Two
shots fired into it dispatched it, and the
hunters dragged it out in triumph. Being
somewhat exhausted with their day’s
work tho men concluded not to start in
pursuit of the fifth bear—the one they
had wounded earlier in the day. Re
turning to this place they procured as
sistance and the four dead bears were
bronght in.
This was the most successful and dar
ing bear hunt ever known in the Pike
county region, and has created quite a
sensation.
Week before last “Jerry” Greening and
his son Cose, famous hunters, captured
three deer alive while going from their

The Anglo-Rus>ian Asiatic (jue>tioii.
Ihe accounts by cablt“ that there is
much uneasiness in London iu conse-
qaeuca of the English note to Russia re
garding the disputed boundary qavstion
iu CdDtral Asia is modified by the later
dispatch to the effect that Ra»sia ha*
made » proposal establishing a neutral
zone, and guaranteeing the independence
and* neutrality of Afghanistan. Iu <be
settlement of the relations between the
two powers a few years ago, England only
required Russia to abstain from the inva
sion of Afghanistan, bat the boundary of
that territory was left undefiut-d. The
present difficulty'therefor • is about the
boundary, Russia refusing to acc pt ihat
indicated by Eogiand, and which, it is
alleged, is drawn by England to interfere
with the purpose 01 Russia, and to enable
the farmer power to hold tne Hindo
Koosb &s a line of defense when the day
of fighting comeF.
About a year ago great mi itaiy prepa
rations in Russia attracted the attention
of Europe. Various speculations were in
dulged as to the object. As her relations
with Turkey were amicable, it was con
cluded that she had hostile designs
against some of the great European pow
ers, aud public opinion stremtd to he di
vided as to whether it was Austria or
Prussia that she was aiming at. Since
then the Emperors of Russia. Germany
and Auhtria have had a conference in
Berlin, and seemed to be ou agreeable
terms with each other. Wh iner any mis
chief was hatched in that conference af
fecting other powers is not known 10 this
day. The object of the military prepa
rations in Bosnia is still a mystery. The
Czar is not in the habit of communica
ting his plans with great frankness.
Darkness, reserve and reticence charac
terize him and his Cabinet. It is, how
ever, known that lor years be has been
seoretly at work in Asia, and has never
vouchsafed any explanations of his
movements. The tramp of his soldiers
can already be heard in the neighborhood
of the frontier of British India. If his
steady march in the direction of Hindus
tan; if his menace of Afghanistan do
not mean hostility to England, it will be
difficult to explain what they do mean.
Tue Toronto (Canada) Lender, a well
informed journal upon such flDpics, de
clares that “the progress of Russia in tee
Asiatic coiMjnent may force us into a war
with that power on behalf of some of the
frontier nations. Persis, Afghanistan
aud Tnibet are all safeguards to <>nr fiou-
tier, aud if any of ttu-rn be threatened—
a* nothing is more likely—then -u Anglo-
Rnssian war is inevitable.” Tbe same
paper contends that the pacification and
development of Ind a, so as to have the
people with England, and not against her,
in the event of a war, is the best prepara
tion for it. This policy she ha* carried
oat to a considerable extent, having spent
about $100,000,000 in railways, establish
ed more than 25,000 educational insula
tions, and in tbe last ten years spent on
an average between sixty and seventy
millions of dollars on public works, be
sides railways—&ucu as irrigation, roads :
jails, hospitals, barracks, court houses
and other works of •. pnblio nature.—
These facts were recently stated by Hon.
Mr. Burke, a member of the English
Hons© of Commons, in a speech delivered
to hia constituents at King's Lynn, on the
relations b tween Eugiand aud India.
And yet it is a matter of donbt if the
natives of Asia, who affiliate with Rus
sians better than EogiiBhmen, have been
so far conciliated a> to make them en
tirely reliable in a war between England
and Russia. Such a war in Asia would be
a war between barbarism and civilization.
Forty-one millions of Russians proper are
little better than savages. Wherever her
conquests have extended she has brought
nothing of civilization but its vices.
Hence ihe overthrow of British dominion
in India might be fairlv regardtd as a tri
umph of barbarism. Where England could
look for allies in sack a content except to
Turkey we ctfnnot imagine. France, her
old ally ip the East, was deserted by Eng
land in the war with Germany, and Gei-
many is alienated by reason of the sym
pathy of England, barren as it was, with
Frau- e. Tn<-re may be some in the Uni
ted States who would be foolish enough
to sympathize with Russia in a war with
England, and only regret that the Ger
man conference has so bound her hands
that she cannot let loose Alabama* npon
British commerce.—Baltimore Sun.

Until February 10th, 1873.
The French Situation — Gambbttas
Views.—The Herald’s Paris lotter of the
9th contains an interview with G&mbetta,
iu which he says that the Republican
cause never l.oked brighter in France
than now. In districts where Republi
canism never before fonnd root, we find
friendship. When the Assembly curnes
together after the recess it is toast proba
ble that the Monarchists wid make one
more desperate, despairing effort to
overthrow Thiers, or rather to re
duce him into the position of a mere
minister of the Right. This will be th«
great parliamentary battle. We are apt
to h ive it about February, but it will be
the last effort of the Monarchists. They
will be bo iten as they have been beaten
always whenever they dared the issue,
and we shall slowly, surely drift npon dis
solution (of the Assembly.) Thi9 solu
tion. d ssoiation I mean, should come
aboat May. Yon see by May the Prus-^
s:&nu will have been paid the fonrth mil
liard; bat one more will remain, aud fc-r
that abundant financial guarantees will
be given. There can then bo no farther
use lor postponing dissolution. The Prus
sians* so I interest in French politics is a
pecuniary and they know fall well
I that they are much more likely to have
1 ’heir filth m.i.iard promptly it ti e country
is quiet than if it is disturbed. Disturbed
and uneasy it will be if the present As
sembly is not dissolved in six months.
The diss lotion of the Assembly all rests
with Thiexs. He has only to sty “I can
not govern France with the aid of the As
8t?mbly,” and the work is done.
Bogus Revenue Officials and Swind
ling Commissioners —Letters sent to the
Internal Revenue Office from North Caro
lina show that some parties in that State
are engaged in falsely representing them
selves to be in authority as revenue offi
cials- even to the extent of issuing bogus
commissions and letters of im-traction
to people unwary bnongh to be their
dupes. A letter from one of these ille
gally created officers was received to-day,
the i^iter enclosing his commission,
which is filled in tbe printed blank, with
the letter-sheet and envelope both
Stamped “Internal Revenue Office, Wash
ington.”
The writer had been mad« a secret
superintendent by James Woodward,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and
writes here to know when bis pay, which
was fixed in his commission at $1,500,
would commence.
The Department returns the commis
sion to the sender, with the intormation
that it is worthless, aud that there is no
such person as James Woodward, Com
missioner of Internal Rever.no.
It is evident from ihe printed headings
to the documents used in this business
that a system of fraud, :o be practiced
npon people who are not acquainted with
official terms or persons, had been inaugu
rated in North Carolina, and it was ex
tended to other parts of the South.
Serious Conflict of Judicial Forces.
—Salt Lake, January 27.—Thi conflict of
authority between the Federal and local
conrt* is evidently approaching a crisis,
as Judge Hawley reiterates his former de
cision that the Probate Courts of the Ter
ritory have no chancery or common law
jurisdiction, civil or criminal. Ia the great
cattle case he gave the prisoners habeas
corpus, but held them as a committing
Magistrate. The Mormon officials still
threaten and defy the process of the Unit
ed States courts. It is thonght Hawley
will arrest Loveo„ one of the Probate
Judges, for contempt AH the principal
members of the bar of Salt Lake are join
ing in a memorial to President Grant for
such legislation as will enable the courts
instituted by the organic act to perform
their duties. Unless something is done
speedily much injury to the interests of
the Territory is anticipated. Great hope
of relief is entertained from the bill of
Senator Logan, and it is thonght its pas
sage will settle all difficulty.

The Widow of Bill Poole Drowned.—
Mrs. Livinia Smiley, forty-seven years of
age, was drowned at the foot of Morton
street, at 1£ o’clock Sunday morning.
Mrs. Smiley was formerly Miss Lozier,
and was subsequently married to Bill
Poole, who was snot by Lew Baker. Af
ter Poole’s death she wan married to Mr.
Frank Smiley. On Saturday evening she,
accompanied by Mr. DeWitt Sheldon and
other members of an organization known
as “The Old Tops,” made up a surprise
party, aud called on Capb Hitchcock, of
the ship America, lying at the foot of
Morton street. At 1£ o’clock Sunday
morning they left the vessel, and Mr*.
Smiley, slipping on tbe gangway, which
wa* frozen over, feli into the dock. A
sailor named Wynne, jumped overboard,
and seizing her made a gallant but inef
fectual attempt to save her life. She
sank, and her body was found at seven
o’clock yesterday morning frozen to a
piece of ice.
We have reports from tho North of ter
rible storms of snow accompanied by loud
thunder and vivid lightning. It is not to
be wondered at. The atmosphere certain
ly required purifying. We doubt, how
ever, the efficacy of this effort of nature to
relieve itself. We fear nothing less tnan
Gabriel’s Trump, or an earthquake, at
least, will make a serious impression.
[Richmond Whig
Poetic—A yonng man in town made

bat.ahe thinks this amn’t to be.
Exercise with the Stiletto.—The
New York fitm gives the particulars of
4he attempted assassination of two boye
iu that cuy on Sunday night, by one of
the recently arrived immignints from
Italy. It says: “About 9 o’clock Leaver
became frantio with drink, and rushed
into the street with a drawn dirk in his
hand. Ho weut r.p Park street on a ran,
threatening to kill every one he met.
Running from Park street into an alley,
he encountered Richard Keiley, colored,
aaed 17, of 35 Baxter street. The lad
; iied to avoid Leaver, bat the enraged
Delian was loo quick for him. With the
agility cf a cat and tLe ferocity of a tiger,
he sprang npon the unoffending lad, and,
wi'h a fearful oath, plunged the dirk into
bis rieht side. Kelley fell to the ground,
and L aver continued his race up the
alley. He next encountered Peter (.'alia,
an Italian newsboy, aged 16. Calla
jumped hastily to one side as he saw
Leaver approaching with the knife, up
raised »nd dripping with blood. Leaver
spiaug lor him un*i Caila dodged, but the
madman was too quick for the boy, and
drove the knife into his breast. By this
time th6 denizens of the alley had been
thoroughly aroused, and started out in a
body ia chase of the would-be murderer.
When he saw that* he was pursued he
threw the knit© from him, and entering
a neighboring tenement he mounted to
the roof and tried to conceal himself by
lying -flat behind the fire wail of the
building. At this juncture the police
arriv«J and captured him. The boys
wereseverd!^ wounded.”
Madison as a Temperance Man.—Many
year* ago, when the temperance move
ment began in Virginia, ex-President
Madison lent the weight of bis influence
to the cause. Case bottles and decanters
disappeared from the sideboard at Mont
pelier—wine was no longer dispensed to
the many visitors at that hospitable man
sion. Nor wus this all. Harvest begaD,
but the customary barrel of whisky wa«
not parchased, and the song of the scythe-
men in the wheat field languished. I lieu
of whisky, there was a beverage most in
nocuous, cnstimnlating and unpalatublu
to tbe army of dusky laborer*.
The following morning Mr. Madiscn
called in bis head man to make tbe usual
inquiry, “Nelson, how comes on the
crop ?’’
“Po’ly, Mars Jeems—monsns po’ly.”
“Why, what’s the matter?”
“Things is revus ”
“What d> you mean by serious?”
“Wo gwine los* dstcrap.”
“Los© the crop! Why should we
lose it?”
“ ’Canau dat ar crap ar heap too big a
crap to be getkered 'thunt whisky. ’Lasses
aud water never gethered no crap sence
d« wori’ war’ made, ner ’taint gwine to.”
Mr. Madison .succumbed. The whisky
was procured, tho “crap” was “gethered,”
case bottles aud decanters reappeared,
and tho ancient order was restored at
Montpelier, never again to be disturbed.
A Duel to the Death.—LouisviUe, Jan.
27.—Friday last atPiney, a branch station
in Rockcastle county, on the Knoxville
branch road. Geo. W. Marray, manager
of the tramway in connection with the
coal mine, in a quarrel with a yonng man
named Walter Bledso, knocked him off
the tramway. Bled«o*s step-brother, Leo
Arnold, accosted Marray about it a lew
minutes later, when the latter drew a
pistol bat threw it down, and the two
commenced fighting. Finding he was
overpowering him, Marray reached for
tbe pistol and shot his adversary through
the stomach,’inflicting a mortal wound.
Arnold sprang up, seized a handspike,
aufi literally beat oat Marray’s brains with
it, killing him instantly. Arnold still
lingers, bat the physicians say be cannot
live. Both men were married and have
families.

A Remarkable Care.
Our readers will peruse with the deepest inter
est the accompanying card o! Mr. R. W. White,
of this city, relating to his wonderful relief from
Diabetes, that terrible malady which usually de
fies all human skilL
8o thoroughly impregnated with saccharine
matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when subjected to evaporation, candy bad
actuallr been the residuum. Most of his living
had been spent unavailingiy for medical advice
and treatment, and death seemed inevitable.
But in the hands of LI* eminent practitioner, hla
restoration baa been rapid and complete, and
now he appears ou ihe etand to tell the story of
hi* unexpected resurrection almost from the very
Jaws of the grave.
Dr. Jones is daily performing other wonderful
cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients
even from the neighboring States. Yesterday he
performed delicate and successful operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes snd cataract, one
of whom had ceme from South Carolina to con-
RUlt him. In diseases of the ear, too, ho is
squally skillful, snd inserts artificial drams or
tympanums, when that organ has been destroyed
by coccu&slone or otherwise. These are very cu
riously and delicately framed of India rubber.
The public will be glad to learn that his dlstln-
gaiahed physician Las consented to remain a f*w
d*ys longer at his quarter* at the Brown Honse.
The sick tnd suffering wodld do well to lay their
cases before him without delay. While there is
life there is hope.
Remarkable and Great Curb of Diabetes—
(.\UGAB IS THE URINE)— BT Du. J. A. JONES.— For
nearly three years I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—eugar in the urine—
during which time my suffering* language could
not deacirbe. My disease was contracted in Sep
tember, i870—nearly three years ago—while in
the employ of Uol. Edmund Harrison, ln Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows of 1117 case well. I was
treated by ail the best physicians of the principal
6ontbern cities, and nearly all of them gave up
my c.<se a* incurable, alter treating me for weeks
cr months. I also tried the mountain air of Bir
mingham, Ala., and tried bitter* and all kinds of
patent medicines. Nothing reached my disease,
or touched the root of It, or changed my urine,
which was white, and soon after belug voided in
the sun crystelized into sugar. I had to get up
every half hour during the night to drink and
void watsr. Everything I ate and drank turned
into sugary uriae; and thus, by ounces, I was
wasted and reduced from a strong, healthy, stout’
man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton of 69 pounds.
Forty-eight hours after I commenced Dr. Jcnea’
treatment my nrine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, and in a few da>s my pains
and ills all left me, and I feel as well as I aver did
in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowels, snd am gaining my formsr
activity and strength daily, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bed effects of the mar
ea ry, Iron, arsenic, etc., given me before I saw
Dr. Jones. I^ave not taken over an ounce of
medicine from Dr. Jones, and It was pleasant to
take, and he never changed hie remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle of that, but it went to the
very spot, and I and my wife both saw that I waa
cured, and I both felt and saw it afrer the first
twenty-four honra’ use ol Dr. Jones’ medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to ihe skill of this greet
physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my
bedside, and my disease was pronounced incura
ble by so mauy physicians, some of them stating
that no person had ever been cured of diabetes.

Hear What one of the hblest Physicians in Alabama
says of Dr. Jones’ Treatment—Osoena Cured.
I have bran aeffering lor five years with ozoena
(an offensive disorder of the nose) of the worst
form, having in that time tried al! the remedies
spoken of in the medical books, and naed in the
common practice, and grew worse under them all
the time, until the dreadful disease impaired my
whole system, produced severe neuralgia, general
debility, and disfigured my nose, and destroyed
my sense of smell. In this condition I placed
myself under the proleesional care of Dr. J. A.
Jones, at the Battle House, and I have bean rap
idly Improving from the first day. I consider his
specific treatment the direct means.of saving my
life; it is more than a fortune to me. I cheerfully
recommend Dr. Jones to the afflicted.
