Dome Commercial: Annie Taylor, a
white woman, aged about eighteen, by
her shameless and nameless conduct dur

reveals the almost inconceivable depths

cently lived in Forrestville. By her inti
macy with negroes at Cave Spring she
awakened strong suspicions in reference
to her real character. Last Monday she
was arrested with a negro named
Aleck Davis. While the negro man.
Aleck Davis, after his arrest, was
•standing on the street with an
affected indifference to the situation
he stepped aside a few feet, as if to sit
■own. nud suddenly making a dash he et-
aped from the officers and went double-
'l u hking through the town. Ashe moved
off Dave Holt, who, we think, had him
m charge, pulled down on him with a
pistol, biit unfortunately the “cap
busted," and the negro went tilting to
ward the woods. The crowd excitedly
gave chase, and several shots were fired
at him without effect. He would have
escaped had not Will Simmons mounted

by and, heading him off, brought him to

Aleck Davis, were brought before Squire
Humil for committal trial. They were
found guilty of the charges preferred—

and were committed to jail to wait their

earnestly hope that the present grand
jury will take the matter in hand, and
Mint they may be brought to trial at the
present term of court instead of lying in

sive and revolting burden to the county.

The Missouri Banditti.
Kansas City, Mo., January 27.—Yes
terday morning, about half-past one
o’clock, an attempt was made to capture
the celebrated James boys, at their
home, three miles from Kearney, a small
station twenty-four miles east of this
city, on the Hannibal and St. Joe Rail
road. A reporter of the Kansas City
Times visited Kearney and obtained the
following particulars from Sheriff John
S. Groum. The parents of the James
boys are named Samuels; the mother is a
widow, having been married since her
husband’s death. Their house is in a
thick wood, with no houses within a half
mile either way—a most dreary spot.
The family was first awakened by some
noise, and when Samuels arose and went
outside to ascertain the cause he found
the house on fire. After putting it out
he returned inside, where he discovered
a hand grenade, a small bombshell, laying
on the floor and Mrs. Samuels attempting
to throw it into the fire. Not knowing
what it was he picked it up and threw it
into a large fireplace. The whole family
came in and almost immediately it ex
ploded, wounding four of the family.
Mrs. Samuels lost an arm, a child eight
years old was killed, and two orhers were
injured. This hand grenade had been
thrown in through a window.
The firing commenced outside, and
from the tracks of horses and men it is
evident that a terrific battle ensued. The
James boys were either in the houso or
barn and went out after the battle com
menced. It is impossible to tell who or
how many were wounded. Blood was
found about the fences and back of the
house. The wounded were carried off
into the woods, as was shown by bloody
tracks.
The reporter could gather no further
particulars. The whole vicinity is in
great excitement. Men fear that the
town will be burned, and anything may
be hourly expected. It is supposed that
Pinkerton’s detectives, assisted by men iu
the neighborhood, are the ones who made
the attack. Some suppose that the James
boys are captured. Further facts will be
elicited to-morrow.
A Fortunate Escape.—A letter from
Richmond, Va., dated January 20, says:
Yesterday a lot of rather wild girls,
accompanied by a young man of this city,
went out on the top of the Capitol to view
the prospect o’er. The youth, either to
give more room to the young ladies or to
show his daring, stepped off the platform
to the roof outside the iron railing. One
of the young ladies playfully pushed him,
when he siipped and fell, and in falling
caught hold of her dress and drew her on
to the roof also. The roof was covered
with slippery sleet, and both commenced
sliding down to the eaves, going, as they
and their companions believed, to a dread
ful death in a fall to the earth far below.
But Providence interposes for the salva
tion of certain people perpetually, and
a chimney was found to be iu the direct
line of their descent, against which they
lodged in safety until they could make
arrangements for a careful return to the
platform. This incident should teach all
who venture upon the Capitol to be care
ful, for, at best, the accommodations
there are very narrow, and by’ no means
safe. A better arrangement for an ob
servatory or belvidere should bo provided
for visitors.
Once in a while, in this cold world of
ours, some one manifests such a tender
regard for the comfort of somebody else
that the impression upon a bystander is

There are little dramas of a single scent-
in real life with a world of feeling in
them. Such a drama was enacted iu
Milwaukee a few mornings ago. A China
man going down the street, shivering
with the cold and trying to crawl head
and ears into the blouse peculiar to gen
tlemen of his nationality, met an ac
quaintance :
“Muchee cold, dam—no washee this

“What’s that?” inquired the friend,
“cold ?”
“Yes, belly cold,” replied the shivering
Celestial.
“Then (hie) why in (hie) h—1 don t
you tuck in your shirt tail ?” asked an in
ebriated individual who had been listen
ing to the dialogue. And it is related
that the disgusted son of the Flower)
Kingdom walked off with an air ol
injured diernity that would have brought
tears into the eyes of one of his stone
gods!
The hope of the Republican party is
in the army. This Republican House
proposes to appropriate at this session of
Congress money enough to support the
army for two years—an unprecedented
act. It is well understood that the next
House will look jealously on army appro
priations, and the Republican party feels
the necessity of hiring and paying for an
army for two years to come. Grant
hopes by this device and by manufactur
ing outrages and appointing governments
in the South, and by fostering a foreign
war, to glide into a third term on flowery
beds of ease, as it were.—Cincinnati En

[Correspondence of the New York Times.]
Paris, January 4.—The night of the
first day of January, 1875, was the most
remarkable within the memory of living j
man. Within the period of my own ex
istence I have seen nothing approaching
the singular spectacle then witnessed.
Rain had fallen during the day, enough
to carry off nearly all the snow that had
gathered during the week, but, just as
the last of it was beginning to run to
ward the sewers, the temperature sud
denly fell, and at dusk the half-melted
snow began to freeze. It was still freezing
when the Parisians left their homes either
for the theatres or for the homes of rela
tives and friends. Up to eleven o’clock
there was nothing but gayety and happi
ness in all parts of the city, and mean
while the streets and sidewalks were
covered with ice. This transforma
tion was first perceived when the gay
revelers began to leave for their
homes. The first of those who left the
theatres went down the moment they
placed their feet upon the steps, and one
after another, like a row of bricks, they
tumbled, slid, or fell upon the ice. Be
fore the Vaudeville more than a score of
men, women and children went down
pell-mell, and slid together into the gut
ters. The efforts to rise were like those
of an inexperienced skater. Finding it
impossible to walk, or even to stand
erect, many sat down upon the ice, and
eigher wrapped handkerchiefs and foul
ards about their shoes, or took off their
stockings to put them on the outside.
The police did all in their power to aid
the people, but they were slipping about
like the rest, and frequently went down
heavily beside those they were helping
to rise. These brave fellows finally took
off their boots, and, with bare feet,
walked about for more than an hour,
until all leaving the theatre were safely
deposited in the middle of the street.
As for the sidewalks, they were utterly
impracticable, but when the ice had been
broken up by passing carriages, it was
just possible to stand upright and make a
little headway. Before several of the
theatres there were serious accidents and
many broken limbs.
OUT-OF-DOOR INCIDENTS.
But the worst sufferings were endured
by the persons who had gone out to dine
and pass the evening in the outer portion
of the city. Long before 10 o’clock the
omnibuses had ceased running, and had
to be left in the streets, the horses being
led to the nearest place of shelter, and
the entire avenue of the Champs Elsyees
was strewn with wrecks of all sorts.
Cabs with broken shafts were seen every
few yards of the way, and there were
ten horses with broken legs between the
Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la
Concorde. Some of the coachmen tore
up their-blankets and wrapped them
about their horses' feet in order to get
them safely home. One gentleman who
had sprained his knee a short time before
paid fifty francs to be taken home, and
was over an hour in going the distance of
about a mile. All who could do so re
mained where they were, and camped
upon their host’s floor until morn
ing. Others remained in the car
riages by the wayside all night,
and several wealthy ladies who had seen
their carriages broken down went to the
police stations and remained until morn
ing, wrapped up in the overcoats of the
gendarmes. The experience of one gen
tleman, recently arrived, will serve as
an example for others. He and his wife
had spent the evening at the house of
Mr. NVashbume. On leaving they were
lucky enough to find a cab, paying ten
francs, but in less tnan a minute the
horse was down and both shafts were
broken. Another chanced to be walking
by, and for ten francs more a coachman
offered to try his best to get them home.
In live minutes this cab was also a wreck
by the wayside. After waiting for two
hours in the cold a third cab was found,
and it managed to make the trip, the gen
tleman and his wife having been out
three hours and paid thirty francs. My
own experience was bad enough, but.
after paying for my cab and leaving it a
wreck soon after, I put my stockings on
over my boots and tramped home in less
than an hour.
AFTER SCENES.
The next morning at 8:30 I went out to
see what damage had been done, and
found three persons having their legs or
arms set in the pharmacy on the first cor
ner. No horses were then out, but th<
streets were lined with cabs and onini
buses left out the night before. It waf
not until near ten o’clock in the morning
that the ice was thawed sufficiently to
permit the usual circulation. Three hun
dred and fifty horses are reported as hav
ing been killed after having their legs
broken, and more than 1,500 accidents to
persons are reported. [Another account
says that six persons were killed.] Om
hospital had 217 cases of broken limbi
during the night and day. There was ont
accident, however, which probably ha>
no parallel. A woman living in the Rut
Ramey was near her accouchment, anc
had made an arrangement with a lying-
in-hospital for the event. Being takeL
with labor-pains on this night, she raL
hastily out and fell heavily near her own
door. She tried to rise, and, after slip
ping about for a moment, fell again to
the ground. She cried for help. Twc
gendarmes had already seen her and wen
going toward her, falling two or three
times themselves, and, on learning the
state of the case, they tried to help th<
poor woman on between them. Tht
three fell iogether, and then again, anc
then the woman’s pains prevented he:
from walking. The gendarmes took ofi
their boots, and, in their stocking feet,
took the suffering creature in their arms
moaning piteously at each step. But at
length she ordered a halt, and her chile
was born upon the overcoat of the gend
arme. He took off his undercoat, to wraj
up the little stranger, and carried him
safely to .the hospital, while his bare
footed companions carried the mother.
Strange to say, both mother and chile
are now doing very well indeed. But
for these two brave men botl
must have died in the street.
The bare enumeration of the acci
dents which occurred on this night fills
two columns of the morning journals.
It was painful to see the poor horses la
boring to keep upon their feet. As 1
have before remarked, they are nevei
sharp-shod in Franco. True, there b
rarely any necessity for it, but the riel
would not neglect so cheap a precaution,
even for a single day. The reason for i
is, I am told, that the sharp shoes cut uj
the asphaltum, and is hence forbidden b)
the municipality. As a general thing tin
people were lost and completely bewil
dered and hopeless; but a few person?
showed that they had “ level ” heads. ’
One shopkeeper stationed himself near i
theatre with a supply of woolen stock
ings, and sold out at any price he pleasec
to ask. Another man, a blacksmith, sta
tioned himself at the corner of a street,
and drove a few nails through the horses
shoes, enough to give them a slight hole
upon the ice; and the coachman wht
sacrificed their blankets to make stock
ings for tht ir horses gained enough to bm
several new blankets, and saved then
horses and caos from accident. This da)
will long be remembered in Parisian an
nals. The superstitious—and they an
numerous everywhere—insist that this
Jour de malheur was due to the fact tha;

Mr. Orville L. Grant is in trouble about
his tradership at Fort Peck. He hat
everything settled, and had bought out
the buildings and stock of trader Charles,
when an order revoking all licenses wa?
received from the Department of the In
terior. This was construed as revoking
Mr. Grant's, though in the light of recent
disclosures it looks as if this order got
out of its place on the list, and was re
ceived after Mr. Grant had bought out
Mr. Charles—not before, when it would
have made the purchaser easier. Nov
the agent has gives a permit to the old
trader, and when Mr. Grant’s man arrived
refused to allow him to open the store.
[N. Y. Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] |
All this week the weather has been
lowering, and the sky draped with the
dull and melancholy weeds of winter. A
heavy snow storm changing to a hurri
cane of wind and rain, girdled the Court
House as with a moat. A yellow Tiber
cinctured our Rome. Yet, though the
weather was discouraging, the hopeless
attendance was
AS DENSE AS EVER.
Every day there lurk in the corridors
of the building at least five hundred
patient souls, who find compensation for
their discomfort and the iron treatment
of the police, in four momentary glimpses,
every twenty-four hours, of the persons
most concerned in the trial. To see
Beecher, Tilton, their parties and their
counsel file into court in the morning, file
out at midday for recess, file in for the
afternoon session, and file out when the
day's work is over, seems to be a sweet
boon to a brigade of miscellaneous idlers.
At all events the brigade is always on
duty, aud to penetrate its ranks compels
a vast amount of push, patience and
profanity.
THE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF MOULTON
was resumed, in no good humor, by Gen.
Tracy. On the other hand Moulton was
sweetness and light incarnate. His
suavity, however, seems to sorely pique
his examiner. When, at the outset of
Tracy’s attack upon him, Moulton lost
his temper, Tracy seemed to drink in his
rage as greedily as a tiger swallows the
warm blood of his prey. But, when
Moulton became placid and unirritable.
Tracy did not find him so succulent. I
fancy the main objective point of all
cross-examination is the derangement of
a witness’ balance, and that, if the wit
ness keep his temper, the cross-examina
tion must be largely stigmatized as a
failure. If so, capable as Tracy is, the in
quisition which he has been directing has
been disappointingly fruitless. He ite
rates every question as if each of them
finally disposed of the witness: and, be
cause they do not, of course the reaction
injures the cross-examiner. Au contraire,
Moulton makes his replies so modestly
aud tranquilly that everybody supposes
there is nothing in them; aud so we may
have missed confusious and blunders
which will not be visible until the other
side shall have elucidated them.
Beecher’s papers this morning explain
the mottling of his face by stating that
he has a bad cold. They also curiously
emphasize a recent suggestion of mine,
by speaking of the terrible pains in his
head from which he constantly suffers.
I have several times indicated the alarm
ing symptoms of
CEREBRAL CONGESTION
which flare out in his face like beacon-
lights. I have also drawn attention to
the frequent desperate applications of his
hands to the crown of his head, in which
there evidently throbs a perpetual neu
ralgia. His nervous debility is becoming
more and more marked every day. Fo.
instance, while Mr. Evans was reading
the Tripartite Covenant, to which the
signatures of Bowen, Tilton and Beecher
were all suffixed, Beecher’s right arm lay
for awhile upon the shoulder of his
youngest son. and a paralytic twitch of
the forefinger betokened how acutely sen
sitive and how feeble his nervous centres
have become. A wistful, yearning, ab
stracted look sits perpetually upon his
swollen features, as if he w ere indeed on
the very edge of the Promised Land,
with the easeful ripple of Jordan in his
ears, and the cry of pursuers growing
louder and louder behind him. Innocent
or guilty, he
CANNOT BEAR THE CRUEL PRESSURE MUCH
LONGER.
Sooner or later, he either will fall dead
or will yield his confession with a shriek
of despair.
One of Beecher's disciples made a naif
admission to me this morniug. Just after
the recess had been announced, ho
touched me on the shoulder aud said,
“The longer this trial proceeds, the larger
the class of bad men who believe in
Beecher’s guilt. Now, I have been mak
ing inquiries to-day, and I find that every
lawyer aud every reporter takes Tilton’s
part.” Pei haps this was only a bitter
pleasantry: but what are the merits of a
case in which reporters and lawyers are
found unanimously on one side ? Yet
the devotion of Plymouth Church aud
the Brooklyn ring may countervail the
indifference of reporters and lawyers.
In consequence of a difference between
Frank Moulton and Whitelaw Reid—
which I may be able to describe in a few
days—the New York Tribune has con
tinuously treated Moulton with
A BRUTALITY UNPARALLELED
even in Mr. Beecher s avowed organs.
The witness is daily subjected to damag
ing distortions of his language, to false
descriptions of his manner, to villainous
insinuations as to his personal character,
aud to a systematically malignant mis
representation, for which decent criticism
can find no other antidote than disgusted
rebuke. To make the matter worse, the
Tribune shrewdly managed to have its
account of the proceedings adopted as
the official report—thereby paying the
expenses of its enterprise, and securing
a large and deluded patronage during tlit
course of the trial. But Mr. Beach and
Judge Morris have entered vigorous pro
tests against Reid’s disingenuous opera
tions; and to-day, rather than lose the
prestige of “The Official Report,” Horace
Greely’s successor has pocketed his ran
corous hate for Moulton, and made a new
and a Tiltonian departure.

A Pen Picture of Zacli Chandler.
The defeat of Mr. Chandler is a proper
subject for congratulation on the part of
the people of the whole country rs much
as of his own State. The period of that
gentleman’s usefulness, and we think he
did have his uses, ended some time ago.
He had survived the boisterous times that
seemed to demand that bluster should be
answered with bluster. The emergency
that called him into public life had
passed, and he lagged superfluous. For
him in & serious and dignified lesislativt
body there was neither occasion nor place.
Neither by nature,education, associations,
training nor habits of thought was he
fitted for the functions of a legislator in a
period of peace and reconstruction, which
called for the most careful deliberation
and wise and statesmanlike treatment of
the most delicate questions. Rough in his
manner, harsh and brutal in his utter
ances, and unforgiving in his nature, he
was not the man to have to do with legis
lation which needed to be conciliatory
and kind, rather than revengeful and vin
dictive. Naturally a swaggerer and bully,
in a time of peace his vocation was gone,
his mission ended. With no trainings.*
a statesman when he entered public life,
he had failed to improve the opportunities
which long association with public affairs
afforded him. and at the close of his
eighteen years’ service was no better
equipped for his work than when he en
tered upon it. He touched nothing to
dignify or adorn it: he gave neither in
formation nor enlightenment to the Senate
or people npon any subject: in politics
he was simply an intriguer, in legislation
and statecraft a blunderer and mischief-
maker. He dispensed patronage, he sup
ported the Administration, and he brawled
for war. This and no more. It was
time he stepped down and out. The air
begins to be a little purer already.—N. Y.

[N. Y. Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.]
I am perfectly serious when I prophesy
that this trial between Tilton and Beecher
will not be lawfully completed until the
first day of April, or thereabouts. Y'et I
do not contemplate so long aud so de
pressing a continuation of these proceed
ings. I feel somehow or other, that
A TRAGIC CONCLUSION
will abruptly and terribly end this mat
ter. As it progresses, the theatric man
tle of heroism drops off, fold by fold,
from its shoulders, aud presently it will
; be wholly undraped, a lewd and hideous
transfiguration of Priapus. To be the
laureate of such reeking annals might
gratify the hot ambition of Swinburne;
but, to impartial nostrils, the ^hiffs and
stenches of a wide-spread licentiousness
are nothing else than sickening. Its
tableaux are as vile as the encaustics of
Pompeii: its episodes fit only for the
prurieut contemplation of a Messaliua:
and its actors seem to have lost their
aptest opportunity in the suppression of
Aphra Behn. The argument of the de
fense, on the moral question at issue, not
between Beecher and Tilton, but between
Beecher and the world, is no loftier plea
than
A GRINNING “TU QUOQUE.”
If Beecher be a libertine Tilton is a free-
lover: and, if Beecher seduced Elizabeth
Tilton, Theodore Tilton permitted aud
extenuated that seduction by his adulter
ous alliance with Woodhull. So far, it
looks like a match at mud throwing, with
fouler ammunition, however, than the
cheap ordure of the streets.
All manner of beastly confidences are
to be torn from their graves and shown
up in the witness chair. A true Corin
thian orgie is promised, in which every
brutal appetite shall be nakedly repre
sented. We are only on the threshold of
the scandal. If it be necessary to save
Mr. Beecher, an exhibition so monstrous
may be made that the anger of his coun
trymen will rescue him by a prompt and
wrathful extinction of the whole proceed
ings. Other adulteries, other seductions,
other bestial incidents in the unwritten
history of Plymouth, are to be paraded
before the puzzled jurors and the stupe
fied werid. At least
TWO DEAD WOMEN
are to anticipate the Last Judgment by
confessing, through the mouths of their
own kindred, that they were false to
their marriage vows: and one of them,
that her filthiness was beyond even the
awful picturing of Juvenal. At least one
incest will be dragged from under the
protective shadow of Mr. Beecher’s
church, and stripped bare and putrid for
the consideration of these Christian
States. If Henry C. Bowen ever reaches
the witness stand there will be squeezed
from his lean person such a stream of
poisonous, excrementitious knowledge
that the whole country will stop its nos
trils and its ears, and
cry “enough!”
Testimony will be produced upon this
trial, and may perhaps be spread upon
its records, to which the feculence of all
extant literature will be as Sabaan odors.
I know of one tomb which has already
been ransacked to prove prior guilt on
Beecher’s part; and I know of another
grave iuto which Beecher’s lawyers will
presently descend to grope for the shame
ful affections of Tilton, Human dust
aud ashes cited to demonstrate the wick
edness it committed in the flesh is one of
the certainties of this, our tedious Dies
Inn.
But, though the horrors which I have
faintly outlined—and which are as well
known to a score of persons as to myself
—form an irrefragable chapter in the
lewd record of this case, yet do I firmly
believe, without being able to give a rea
son for my belief, that a
SUDDEN AND MORTAL STOPPAGE OF THIS
TRIAL
will be made by one or both of its prin
cipals. I dare not predict that Beecher
will take.flight from this terrible areua :
I dare not predict that sudden death or
dramatic confession will startle his wor
shipers, aud siienoe the process of his
accusation. But though it would be
something worse than audacity to conjec
ture the form in which the end will come,
yet do I verily and earnestly believe that
some other climax than the verdict of a
jury will conclude this appalling religious
tragedy.
Andrew Johnson Defines his Poli
tics.—It having been charged, iu order
to defeat his Senatorial aspirations, that
ex-President Johnson has sought in the
past to make odious the ex-Confederate
sfldier; that he has assailed the Demo
cratic party, aud that he is no Democrat,
the ex-President has replied as follows,
the reply being published in the Nash
ville (Tennessee) papers of Sunday last:
“My whole public actstjemocstrate that
I exhausted all the powers and preroga
tives of the office of president in behalf
of Confederate soldiers, and I went so far
that Congress, under the influence of an
extreme party spirit, repealed the am
nesty act authorizing the President to
pardon rebels. Then I fell back to the
pardoning power under the Constitution,
and under this power, on the 25th of
December, 18G8, I issued a proclamation
of general amnesty, releasing and reliev
ing all those who had fought against the
flag. This was assailed by the Radical
leaders, hut the Supreme Cpurt of the
United States has within the past year, I
believe, decided in my favor. When, the
impeachment trial was going on niy ex
ercise of the pardoning power was one of
the items of inquiry by the committee.
Now as to my Democracy. I think no
one who can read can be ignorant of my
political views. I think I am in line
with the Democracy of the nation, and
the unwilling testimony of my political
opponents has established that I was
nominated as a Union-Democrat for Vice-
President, and I think that my whole life
shows me to be Democratic--an unadul
terated Democrat.”
The New Y’ork Herald on the Ten
nessee Senator8hip.—New York, Jan.
2G.—The Herald to-morrow, in an edi
torial upon the election cf Andrew John
son to the United States Senate says: In
1SGG he was charged with public offenses
alone, and though we do not think he
was entirely right in his course, it is now
generally conceded that imaginary misde
meanors were in fact official merits. An
drew Johuson has fortunately lived to
see his vindication, and to have it con
firmed by his election to the Senate.
Because American people know him so
well, because he was impeached and
bound and handcuffed by Congress, the
contest in the Tennessee Legislature pos
sessed a national interest and is really a
national victory. He is the best man
that Tennessee could have chosen, not
merely for himself, but for the Democracy
North and South. In the Senate he will
be of far greater use to the country than
he was a President, for that independence
which is inseparable from his character,
will have a better opportunity in the
duties of legislation than it coaid have in
those of the executive. The Senate needs
men who have the courage to speak the
truth, and besides this, Mr. Johnson has
probably profited by time and experience.
Unusual interest will be felt by the coun
try in his course in the Senate, and we
earnestly trust that the faults of his char
acter and errors of his record will be
obliterated and forgotten in the splendid
career of usefulness which his election to
the Senate has opened.
Grant’s newspaper supporters talk a
great deal about the “demoialization in
the South which permits white men to
commit great crimes with impunity.”
They take no account and have nothing
to say about the rascality at Washington
whereby seventy-two thousand negroes
were swindled out of their savings by
white Republicans, who are still outside
of the penitentiary.
How Sheridan is Treated in New Orleans.
[New Orleans Correspondence of the New York I
Times.]
The people of New Orleans never do j
anything by halves. To hate General
Sheridan appears just now to he a religion
with them: to defame him is evident^’ '
considered the duty of every good citizen. !
Everywhere—in street cars, bar-rooms. ;
hotels, and even in churches—I have |
heard men and women abusing him. This 1
abuse is sometimes very unjust, and all j
the charges brought against the General
are made without consideration or
thought. For instance, he is blamed for
the action of the troops on the 4th inst..
notwithstanding the fact that he had not
assumed command when the soldiers ap
peared in the State House, and cannot,
therefore, be held responsible. This,
however, is only a minor consideration.
The troops were first called for by Demo
cratic members, and their subsequent
action might have been forgiven. It is
the dispatch calling the people banditti
which has caused Sheridan to l>e so in
tensely disliked. They feel that they
have been insulted before the entire
country, and it is one of their proud
boasts that a “Louisianian never forgets
an insult.” This morning, during a con
versation upon this subject, one of the
best known citizens of New Orleans said
to me, “We could ha^e forgiven every
thing else, we have already borne much
and forgiven much, but this unnecessary
insult we cannot and will not forget."
This feeling seems to pervade all classes
of the community. The popular hatred
of Sheridan finds expression in many
ways. He has several times been hung in
effigy, and half the shop windows in New
Orleans are decorated with some ludicrous
caricatures of him. In some places figures
of venerable and respectable looking old
gentlemen are labelled: “This is one of the
banditti.” Mary of the toy stores display
ridiculous French dolls, with immense
heads aud very short legs, bearing the in-
csription*‘T am not afraid. "This,of course,
has reference to Sheridan’s dispatches
stating that he had been threatened with
assassination, but that he was not afraid.
“I am not afraid,” is in everybody’s
mouth. The newsboys go through the
streets yelling out the usual “Terrible
murder in Arkansas,” or “Horrible cutting
affair,’’ always ending with, “but I am
not afraid.” Several songs have already
ueen composed, entitled: “I am not
afraid," and in the theatres pert aetressts
are gaining popularity and loud applause
by exclaiming, in and out of season, “I
am not afraid.”
The Great Farmer of the World.
A Sacramento (Cal.) paper publishes
the following concerning the farming
operations of a man whom it calls “the
largest farmer in the world:”
The great farmer of the world, Dr.
Hugh J. Glenn, of Jacinto, Colusa coun
ty, California, has raised and harvested
the past season, on his own farm, 600,000
bushels of wheat. This would load
eighteen 1,000 ton ships, or three hun
dred canal-boats. All this wheat he has
now in his own warehouses, ready for
shipment when the water in the Sacra
mento river rises sufficiently. The Doc
tor pays #90,000 freight to put his wheat
in San Francisco. The Doctor is a won
der to the agricultural world and to
himself. He runs ninety gang-plows and
a whole county's population in the har
vest field, with a dozen threshers. His
farming is not confined to wheat alone.
He markets #100,000 worth of stock each
year. Dr. Glenn is a practical farmer,
and manages all his immense business
himself. He can mend a trace and make
a key to an ox bow with his jack-knife,
just as easy as drawing his check for
#100,000, which he can do every day in
the week. Dr. Glenn has only experi
enced one surprise during the year, and
that was when a friend informed him that
a panic had entered the land. Glenn is
a big-hearted man; was born in Augusta
county, Virginia, and does honor to the
“Old Dominion.” Send tho medal to
Glenn.
The St. Louis Dentocrat well says this
will make the average “Granger” open
his eyes, and goes on to say that Dr.
Glenn came to Missouri when quite
young, in which State his father still
lives. In 1849 he went to California,
and after mining awhile bought a ranche
and rin it with great profit. He added
to it until his farm now numbers 50,000
acres. If he has a weakness it is for
draw poker. He bets with the same
voluminous impetuosity that he does
everything else. He has been known to
stand “pat” without a pair and “raise”
#10,<HX»; on several occasions he has lost
immensely. He is not always unlucky,
however, aud his nerve has driven out
many players holding better “hands.”
Sheridan came near getting out of
Brashear, La., before his presence be
came known. The New Orleans picayune
says: But the news spread after awhile,
and by the time Sheridan had embarked
on the New Orleans tram everybody knew
it. On none did the knowledge confer
greater pride and joy than on the
tlrashear Brass Band, and to them alone—
we confess it with mortifical ion—did it
occur that something ought to be done.
They realized their debt to Providence
and the solemn necessity of settling up.
The Brashear Brass Band is a very large
association. Nearly every colored citizen
of any social standing belongs to it. We
should think the Brashear Brass Band
had about three hundred and eighty
members. The trouble was that it had
not quite completed its organization. It
had no musicians and no instruments, if
we except a fife and an enormous Lass
drum. But they felt that they ought to
give some evidence of their gratitude and
respect. It would never do to let Sheri
dan go away without some public expres
sion of affection and esteem. A man
who worked in the corner grocery told
them so, and they saw it immediately. If
Sheridan’s bitterest enemy had seen’ him
as he sat glaring through the window of
the private car at the Brashear Brass
Band, with its three hundred and eighty
members, and its big drum and little fife
in threatening attitudes, that enemy would
have been appeased.
How Springfield Got His Cards.—
This story of a package of postal cards
may seem to read like a romance, but the
Springfield (Mass.) Union asserts that it
is literally true : Mr. Springfield is the
Postmaster at Tyner, Tenn., and Mr.
Tyner is the agent of the Post Office De
partment at the postal card factory in
Springfield, Mass. Mr. Springfield, of
Tyner, needing some postal cards, or
dered them from the Post Office Depart
ment. The order from Mr. Springfield,
of Tyner, was forwarded to Mr. Tyner,
of Springfield, and Mr. Tyner, of Spring-
field, sent the cards to Mr. Springfield, of
Tyner, but Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, not
getting the card from Mr. Tyner, of
Springfield, Mr. Springfield, of Tyner,
wrote to Mr, Tyner, of Springfield, mak
ing inquiry regarding the cards ordered
to be sent by Mr. Tyner, of Springfield,
to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner; and this
letter from Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, to
Mr. Tyner, of Springfield, inquiring
about the cards ordered to be sent to Mr.
Springfield, of Tyner, by Mr. Tyner, of
Springfield, Mr. Tyner, of Springfield,
now keeps to show to his frier ds, when
telling the story cf the postal cards or
dered by Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, and
sent to Mr. Springfield, of Tyner, by Mr.
Tyner, of Springfield, aud finally received
by Mr. Springfield, of Tyner.
