■nr T te^SS? aVista - jlr ff'“ 8tates that “Mr.
w. vv. Wilson, a worthy and useful citizen
near Pineville, was stricken with paralysis
last Saturday week at the supper table, and
never spoke again. Only a few moments
before he was playing with his children,
and just as he had pat a morsel of food In
his month he was stricken fatally. He lin
gered until Tuesday night, when he died.
He was buried on Wednesday.”
Madison Madisonian: “Hentz Grisholm,
colored, In a personal encounter assaulted
John Hawkins, colored, with a razor and
hewed him up considerably last week. Dr.
Bell was called to the wounded man and
pronounces his injuries serious if not dan
gerous. This happened at Buckhead in
this county, a point that is gaining no en
viable reputation since a camp of negroes
has been established there, engaged in cut
ting cross ties, and the people of that com
munity, both white and black, are anxious
to have it broken up. The assaulter in this
case, as usual, has escaped.”
The Cuthbert Messenger, under the caption
of “Superhuman Courage,” says In a recent
issue: “Few have witnessed a stronger type
of courage than was displayed some time
since by Mrs. Harriet Harper, an old lady
that was afflicted with a cancer on her neck.
During the last stages of the cancer, one
day, the jugular vein burst, spurting the
ruddy drops several feet, when Mrs. Harper
called for a basin which she held to catch
her own blood, until the vessel was full,
then calling for other vessels until finally
she sank iu her seat quite dead. The truth
of the above can be vouched for by a num
ber of responsible persons.” T
Says the Americus HepiMtcan : “On Tues
day last the ladies In the neighborhood of
Mrs. Sarah Chapman’s, in Schley county,
bad gathered at her house to have a quilt
ing. There were four or live in one of the
rooms, with Miss Mary Chapman, a daughter
of the widow. Miss Mary was standing
with her bacK to the fire, when her clothing
caught. She immediately ran out of the
house—the women being too scared to do
anything. When they got hold of her every
vestige of clothing was burned off, leaving
nothing but the parched crisp skin all burnt
in a most horrible manuer. She died in
about eight hours. She was about sixteen
years old, and her sad fate has struck a
thrill of horror throughout the entire com
munity.”
Jonesboro News: “We are informed that
some fellow in Fayette county had a fresh
field In cotton which was heavily fruited,
but it would not open; be plowed up the
cotton stalks before the freeze, and it all
opened, and he made a bully crop. Take a
note of this and do likewise next year.”
Cuthbert Appeal: “ Mr. II. Tobias, who
never fails having his Christmas turkeys in
good order, went to the roost at early dawn
on Wednesday morning to feed them, when
he was surprised to find a choice gobbler
minus a head and stone dead. Instead of
tearing bis shirt with anger, or swearing
that ‘ turkey was poor meat anyway,’ a»
most men would have done, he quietly be
gan laying his plans foravengiug his wrongs,
lie soon had constructed a trap, and using
the dead turkey for bait, patiently awaited
developments. On yesterday morning be
found, securely imprisoned in his trap, a
huge horned owl, that measured fifty-four
inches from tip to tip of wings.”
Atlauta Constitution: “The grand jury,
which has been in session since Monday last,
has been waging a fierce war against the va
grants of Atlanta. Already about thirty
true bills have been found, and, from what
we can learn, numbers more will be procured
against the many worthless negroes and
whites who Infest the city to the disgust of
every one and to the discredit of the com
munity. A good many of those against
whom true bills have been found are con
stant attendants on the Recorder’s Court,
and by tbeir conduct arc made to serve out
nine-tenths of their lives in the city chain-
gang. Some of them are now at the rock
quarry, paying their fines at the end of a
rock hammer. As fast as true bills are found
the police aud officers of court are put to
work collecting the defendants. Yesterday
a number of them were arrested and locked
up in the station-house, where they will re
main until removed to the jail, there ta be
held in custody until their cases are called
in the City.Court. The work should gotm
until the city is depopulated of all the va
grants aud worthless classes that infest it."
Franklin News: “Last Saturday night, at
the residence of Mr. Camp, seven miles
north of Franklin, occurred one of the sad
dest accidents it has ever been our duty to
record. An idiot son of Mr. Sanders Faver,
about twenty-three years of age, was acci
dentally shot and almost instantly killed by
Mr. Jesse Camp, one of Heard county’s
most highly respected young men. The
particulars of the sad affair are about as fol
lows : It seems that the deceased was very
fond of hunting, and would frequently take
his father’s dogs and go out rabbit hunting.
On Saturday evening last he took the dogs—
two or three In number—and went off in
the woods hunting. About night he went to
Mr. William Jackson’s and stopped and
eat supper. After supper Mr. Sam Jackson
started home with deceased, but before they
got there Mr. Jackson’s dog treed an opos
sum near the road, and Mr. J., thinking
that deceased could find the way home—
there being no road to mislead him—pointed
out the way to him, and went to catch the
opossum. Deceased went on towards
home with his dogs, and when he came to
Mr. Camp’s, who lives on the road he was
traveling, Mr. C.’s dog barked at him. He
hissed his dogs on, and they jumped over
into the yard and commenced lighting Mr.
C.’s dog. Mr. Jesse Camp hearing the
noise, took his double barreled gun and
rushed out on the piazza, and seeing de
ceased sitting down on the road, and think
ing it was a dog, took aim at him and
fired, the whole load entering his
left breast, killing him almost instantly.
One ot the dogs ran up to deceased
ami Mr. Camp seeing it, discharged the
other barrel of his gun at it. The dog fell
and commenced howling, and Mr. C. went
back in the house, but the dog kep* howl
ing and he went out to knock it in the head,
when he was horrified to see poor, unfortu
nate ‘Tunny’ Faver lying dead on the
ground. He went back Into the house and
told the sad story to his father and mother,
and a runner was sent with the sad intelli
gence to the parents of the deceased. The
news spread like wildfire, and by midnight
a large crowd had gathered at the scene of
the accident. This unfortunate affair will
bear heavily upon Mr. Camp’s feelings. lie
has the sympathy of everybody in the com
munity.”
Florida Affairs.
A correspondent from Fort Dade writes
us that Hernando county is certainly the
finest portion of the State, so far as he has
seen. It contains very large bodies of
hammock land; the health is very fine; the
water excellent, and the land adapted to
the cultivation of almost any kind of crop.
The hammocks produce corn in abundance,
and the pine lands grow the different kinds
of fruits with great rapidity, maturing the
orange in six years from the seed—a great ad
vantage, since, while the counties further
north can produce'corn, they are not so re
liable for fruit,and while those further south
are good for fruit they are not good for
corn. Cattle also flourish, and many farmers
are turning their attention to cattle raising,
while all are bestowing more care upon
farming operations generally. Want of
transportation seems to be the great barrier
to the proper development of that portion
of the State. With a railroad through to
Charlotte Harbor that county will, he
thinks, soon proclaim Itself the banner
county of the State. The crops this year of
corn, cane, oats, rye and potatoes are abund
ant, though the orange crop is much smaller
than usual.
Great interest Is being shown throughout
Middle Florida In the coming December
fair, to be held in Tallahassee, and its
friends think there is no doubt that the ex
hibition will be a grand success, and will
be the means of materially advancing the
agricultural interests of all the counties In
terested.
The Jacksonville Breeze raises at the head
of its columns the names of Thomas F. Bay
ard and Clarkson N. Potter for President
and Vice President in 1SS0..
As the cold weather comes on the delicate
Northern tramp is migrating with the birds
to the South, and Florida seems to suit their
tastes to perfection. It is just the
all the world where, in a genial winter cli
mate, they can live and grow fat, and enjoy
to the utmost the luxury of the dolce far
nienie. The Floridian says that Tallahassee
has been recently honored with the presence
of a few of these gentry, and It calls the at
tention of the authorities there to the fact
that a vagrant Igw exists.
The Advance calls Pensacola 41 the Venice
of America,” and says there Is not to be
seen anywhere a more magnificent spectacle
The residence of Mr. W. T. Webster, six
miles from Tallahassee, was destroyed by
fire on Tuesday night last. Most of its con
tent3 were also consumed. The fire origi
nated in the roof of the house, and It is
thought was caused by rats carrying matches
into the garret. The house was new and
partially insured.
The Jacksonville Union certainly deserves
success. In addition to publishing the full
Associated Press dispatches every morning,
it issues dally an afternoon supplement
called the ’ldegram.
The Sanford Journal 6ays walking booms,
marriage booms and other kinds of booms
may do well enough for some places, but
the building boom Is what Is carrying San
ford by storm just now. New houses are
being erected on all sides.
The Columbus (Ga.) Eiuniirer says: “The
rainfall in some parts of Florida, and parti
cularly along the Chipola river and the
Dead Lakes, during the recent rainy spell,
have been unprecedented and appears in
credible. It is stated by reliable parties
that in thirty-six hours twenty-three inches
of rain fell. The whole country was flooded,
plantations damaged, mills washed away,
stock drowned, and in many instances
honses badly damaged.” The Enquirer
thinks, however, that this reported fall is
rather too much, and must certainly be a
mistake.

autumn eve.
The Tallahassee Floridian says: “The
exodus question Is just now agitating
the minds of a majority of the colored
people hereabouts, the result, no doubt,
of the partial failure of the cotton
crop. It would seem that the colored
people entertain the very remarkable
idea that the land-owners of the county
are responsible for such partial failure;
whereas, did they but realize the fact that
the land-owuer, who supplied them during
the season, and who, in most cases, furnished
all that was necessary for conducting farm
ing operations, will inevitably and un
equivocally lose as much, if not more, than
they, the folly of such an Idea would be evi
dent. Bur not only will the land-owner and
the tiller of the soil lose by the partial failure
of the crop, but the merchant, the mechanic,
the day laborer, the banker, the lawyer, the
doctor, the printer, and the man of every
other profession, as well. The industries
of the world, of whatever character, are
all more or less dependent for success
upon the success of him who tills the soil.
When the farmer falls, the failure Is felt by
all. There is less to be exported, and money
is consequently scarcer. That the coming
winter will be a very severe one upon all,
and particularly upon thoso who are so un
fortunate as to have but little left of the
proceeds of their crop6 after paying their
debts, is too evident to admit of dispute;
but the idea of charging it to the land
ownera is preposterous in the extreme. The
present situation of affairs will doubtless
tend to a diversification of crops in the fu
ture. It is to be hoped that it will, at any
rate. It Is gratifying to know that that
which was almost universal a few years
since, viz.: having our granaries and smoke
houses in the West, is gradually losing
prestige, aud that our people are devoting
more of their time and lauds to the raising
of hogs, cattle, corn, oats, etc., and it is to
be hoped that still more attention will be
paid to these matters iu the future.”
Here is what the Tallahassee Patriot, a
Radical paper, owned, we believe, by ex-
Senator Conover, has to say about the
Southern outrage business, iu which its con
freres of the North so delight to engage: “If
our Republican friends of the North really
desire to assist us iu breaking down the
solid phalanx of the Democratic South, let
them shut down at once on the * Southern
slander mills ’ that are engaged in manu
facturing at least fifty outrages to each one
that is really committed. Let them turn a
deaf ear to the dismal howls of disconsolate
bloody-shlrt shriekers who attempt to dis
guise the>r real character by crying ‘stop
thief.’ Let them hurl from their front rank,
and stamp with disgrace, all such malicious
and contemptible sheets as the Lemars Sen-
Tmet-atrd its life-**--
Notwithstanding that several of the best
citizens of Palatka have declared that the
story recently published by one John W.
Payr'in.the Binghampton RcjmbHccm, assert
ing that a man named Bodinan was atro
ciously murdered in Palatka some time
since from political motives at a county
election, is an absolute falsehood out of
whole cloth, that worthy reiterates his
charge. Whereupon the Jacksonville Union
says: “We have been at some trouble to
ascertain something In regard to Parr. We
find that he was in this city on the 1st of
January, when he says he was in St. Mary’s,
Ga. He was employed by Mr. Wm. Clarke,
plumber and gas fitter, on the fid of
January, and went to work on the 3d, at
seven o’clock a. tn., as Mr. Clarke's books,
show. He remaiued with Mr. Clarke until
the following April, aud worked every day,
and during this time he was not in Palatka
at all. When he left Jacksonville he went
directly to New York. We append the state
ment of Mr. Clarke, and also of Messrs. Gar
rett »fe Barnes, which confirms what we have
said; also a certificate of the County Clerk.
Of course all this is unnecessary to convince
the people here that Parr’s statements are
absolutely false, for they are so absurd that
no one believes them, but the Republican
seems to be so easily imposed upon that for
its benefit we have thought it necessary to
take this trouble. If it had examined the
constitution of Florida, which is no doubt
accessible to it, it would have discovered
that there are uo county officers except con
stables elected by the people, and an
election for constables alone would be an
absurdity; they are never voted for except
at some general election. The truth is that
the man Parr is either crazy, or one of the
most consummate liars that this great coun
try has ever produced.”
Jacksonville Sun and Press: “Yesterday
morning Mr.- Ablitt, a shoemaker well
known in this city, and lately employed by
Mr. William n. West, opposite the Mag
nolia Market, died in tbe shop of that gen
tleman, having literally drank himself to
death. Two years ago no stronger ex
ponent of total abstinence could have
been found in this city than Mr. Ablitt. He
was an officer of and a prominent member
of tbe Good Templars, and was the presid
ing officer of Morning Star Temple of Honor
when it closed its active labors. When these
organizations ceased working Mr. Ablitt
emphatically declared, ‘It’s no use trying
any longer, and I give It up as a bad job.’
From that time until the day of bis death
he surrendered himself to habits of intem
perance and ceased to struggle any longer.
Aside from his intemperance, Mr. Abiltt
was regarded as an Inoffensive and good-
hearted man, who was no man’s enemy but
his own.”
Gainesville Bee: “Last winter B. F. Tid
well, ot Madison county, went before the
United States grand jury, iu session at
Jacksonville, and swore out an indictment
against Judge R. M. Witherspoon, of the
same county, for complicity io an election
fraud. The Judge was carried to Jackson
ville, put to a heavy expense, was tried by
the court aud acquitted—the jury in his
case not leaving their places In the box to
make up a verdict. Judge Witherspoon
very naturally felt himself wronged, and as a
means of Indemnifying himself, brought
suit against Tidwell in the Circuit Court for
malicious prosecution. The case was tried
last week, and the jury assessed his damages
at $700, whereupon Tidwell made a motion
for a new trial. The counsel for the prose
cution raised no objection, so the order was
granted. Old TId had better paid the $700,
for it is generally believed that the damages
will be placed at a much greater figure the
next time.”
A Denial from Major Anderson’s
Widow.—The widow of Major Robert
Anderson denies,through a correspondent
of the Boston Herald, the charge, in the
North American llecieio's “Diary of a
Public Man,” that he wavered between
loyalty and turning Fort Sumter over to
the South. “He never had a thought,”
she says, “of becoming a traitor. Loyal
ty was, with him, a point of honor. I
may fairly say that he was morbid on
that subject. He had not a dollar north
of Mason and Dixon’s line; but, when it
was said to him. ‘Major, your children
will be beggars if you go with the North,’
he replica, ‘That makes no difference
with the question of duty.' Everything
possible was done to make him go over,
but he at no time had any idea of being
moved.”
In Alasco county, Texas, November 4,
u squad of rangeis, anticipating a raid
by robbers on Campbell’s store, secreted
themselves in the establishment and
waited events. During the night five
robbers entered, secured the clerk, and
began to plunder. In the figLt which
ensued one citizen was wounded, one
robber killed, one mortally shot and an
other slightly wounded. The others
escaped. _
As the Sheriff of Vincennes, Indiana,

Coringa, from New York September 29th,
have been arrested at Antwerp. The Con
sul is investigating the outbreak which
occurred cn the voyage. The mate had
several times to repress the insubordination

The mutineers then armed themselves. The

proved fatal. This restored order and Kear
ney was arrested. The mate and five sailors
are under detention.

DESCENT ON AN ILLICIT STILL.
New York, November 10.—-The revenue
agents made a descent upon the basement
of a large tenement house iu Mott street
yesterday. They found an illicit still capable
of turning out one hundred and seventy-five
gallons daily, furnished with all improve
ments,and three mash tubs containing three
thousand gallons of mash ready for work.

Oldham, November 10.—The directors
of the Limited Cotton Mill Companies of
Oldham have decided to meet again to form
an association for promoting their mntual
Interests. The resolution adopted at their
meeting Saturday night states they do not
feel justified in continuing the short time
system for the present, but in view of any
aggravation of the position they feel that
no time should he lost in calling their repre
sentatives again together. Speakers at the
meeting strongly censured the conduct of
the Liverpool cotton ring, and one of them
spoke of the necessity of obtaining cotton
direct from America, so as to frustrate the
manoeuvres of the ring.

Pelting Grant wltb Egg*—A Rotten
One Strikes the General on the
Head.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Quincy, III., Novembers.—The Hon.
O. F. Price, a prominent attorney of
Galesburg and one of the reception com
mittee to meet Geneial Grant at the
depot last night, arrived here on business
this morning, and your correspondent
interviewed him in regard to tbe in
dignity offered to General Grant during
the reception. He says that an immense
crowd had gathered at the station to
welcome the General, that bonfires were
burning, bands playing, and there was
great chirring. General Grant came out
on the platform car, bowed his acknowl
edgments, and then Mrs. Grant came out
in answer to the calls. After they had
retired to the car the crowd became
clamorous to see the great chieftain again,
aud one of the committee of citizens
asked him if he would not again gratify
the people. He consented and went out on
one side of the car. A military company
formed a line on the other. Just as Gen..
Grant began to talk something struck
him on the back of the head, which
proved to be an egg, but not a rotten
one. The ruffians threw from behind.
The crowd did not at first understand
the nature of the trouble, but when they
did they became infuriated. The cul
prits had either escaped or mingled iu
the throng. The Mayor, who was in the
car, at once came out, and, on the
part of the city, offered $500 re
ward for the apprehension of the perpe
trator. Three eggs were thrown, two of
them overshooting the mark and striking
persons in the crowd. General Grant
was very indignant at the outrage, but
assured the committee that be ciid not
lay any blame to Galesburg or its people
that it simply was evidence that roughs
exist everywhere. Mr. Price stated that
he hoped the villains would yet be cap
tured, but was glad that they were not
found last night, as nothing could have
prevented lynching. The people of
Galesburg are fearfully worked up over
the affair, and feel the disgrace keenly.
AUDACIOUS VILLAINS.

and Escape witb Tbeir Rooty.
New York Star, 5th.
A daring burglary was committed at
an early hour yesterday morning by four
masked robbers near the village of Union
ville, Sussex county, N. J. William
Hough, an aged farmer, was awakened
from sleep and on looking up from his
bed he was surprised to find a burglar
with a revolver in his hand, the muzzle
of which he held only a few inches from
Mr. Hough’s forehead. Three compan
ions of the burglar were ransacking bu
reaus and closets in tbe room. Tbe noise
aroused Mrs. Hough, who screamed for
help. The farm band, a servant and an
elderly lady were sleeping in the house,
and on being aroused by Mrs. Hough’s
piercing shriek ran to the bedroom
The hired man carried his revolver and
was tbe first to reach the door of the
room. As he entered he leveled
his weapou at the burglar who was
keeping vigil at the bed. The
thief coolly said: “Put down that pistol
or I’ll fire at the old man.” At Mrs.
Hough’s solicitation the hired man sur
rendered his weapon to one of the gang
and he with the servant and the old lady
were put under the care of another of
the thieves. After making a thorough
search of the premises the robbers left,
taking witb them three hundred dollars
in money, a quantity of clothing, silver
ware and jewelry. Before leaving they
bound all the inmates with ropes so that
they could not aid each other. The
hired man, after an hour’s work, con
trived to free himself and hurried to
the stable to harness a horse and alarm
the neighbors. The thieves had alread3’
visited the stable and destroyed all tbe
harness. A piece of rope was twisted
into a bridle and the neighbors were sum
moned. The robbers had nearly two
hours’ start and although the villagers
scoured the vicinity they failed to cap
ture any of the miscreants. The faces
of the burglars were completely con
cealed by masks.
Encounter with a Burglar.—Sam
uel H. Creech, Jr., a Boston lawyer, on
returning home on Thursday night was
informed by his wife that several articles
bad been stolen and that she thought the
thief was still iu the house. In their
sleeping room they discovered a man
under the bed. Mr. Creech ordered him
to come out and seized him by . tbe
throat. After a struggle the burglar
begged for bis life. Suddenly the thief
freed himself and ran down stairs.
Flourishing a knife when part way
down the stairs he turned and demanded
Mr. Creech’s watch, but upon the latter
making a rush for the thief he escaped
through a window.
Death of a Bride.—On the lGth ult.
Miss Lizzie, daughter of the Hon. J.
Woods Brown, of Milton, Pa., was

some time previous, but the guests were
invited, as the doctor pronounced her
sickness to be nervous prostration. Be
fore the wedding the sickness was pro
nounced malarial fever, and on Thursday
she could not leave her bed. There
were a large number of invited guests
present, and the marriage took place in
the sick room. She continued to grow
worse, and the fever took the form of

E. C. Anderson Looking After Sa
vannah Harbor Improvement*—
Mr. Stephen* Interviewed Asaln.
Special Correspondence of the Morning News
Washington, November 9.—The evening
papers chronicle the death of a very re
markable woman. Mrs. Margaret Eaton, or
rather Bachlgnanl, died in this city to-day,
at the age of elghty-one. She was remarka
bly well preserved. A few years ago—no
later than when she was In her seventy-
ninth year—she was as brisk, as steady of
walk, as rosy and far more witty than the
average woman of forty. In sooth, she was
a queen; her beauty was of the enduring
kind; her wit ran riot in brilliance. Her
maiden name was McNeill. Her brother kept
a hotel here and was very wealthy. She ruled
it over them all. She was unconventional,
and this gave wag to society’s tongue. She
married early—a paymaster in the navy
named Timberlake being the chosen one.
’Twas then that her name was on every
one’s tongue. She was the authority in so
ciety, and she shone like the morning star.
Two children, I believe, were the result of
this marriage It was in 1831-32 that gossip
became outspoken. Her fame was descried
by a thousand tongues. Women, ever jeal
ous of the social elevation of another, talked
her good name to the dogs, and assisted by
men, tbeir willing allies. She became
notorious, but still kept her place in
society. A year or so after her hus
band died. She was then the most en
chanting widow of whom Washington
social annals have any record. She was
not a widow long. She married General
Eaton. Andrew Jackson was President and
General Eaton was his Secretary of War.
Scandal had been so busy with Eaton’s
wife’s name that the wives of the other
Cabinet officers met and decreed that they
would not associate with her. Mrs. Cal
houn, the wife of the then Secretary of
State, declared to old Hickory freely that it
had been decided that if Mrs. Eaton was
present at tbe receptions the rest of the
ladies of the Cabinet would keep away, and
that they would not receive her at their
houses under any circumstances. The
President had frequently met Mrs. Eaton
before her marriage. She was one of his
best friends. He believed, nothing wrong
in her. When Mrs. Calhoun delivered to
him the ultimatum of the Cabinet ladies as
regards his friend, he said: “She ought
to be received, and, by tbe eternal, she shall
be received !” And received she was to a
certain extent. But the war did not stop.
Mrs. Calhouu and the o*her ladies kept the
pot a boiling. They enlisted their husbands
in the fight. The men then took up the
cudgels against Mrs. Eaton. Mr. Jackson
stuck to his friend, however. Once or twice
this teapot tempest took on so much pres
sure that the Cabinet came near bursting
up. The waters were caused to subside by
ibe appointmentof General Eaton as United
States Minister to England. Iu Madrid
Mrs. Eaton was in her element. Beauti
ful, accomplished, wealthy, and with
every womanly witchery her own, she went
to the front among the donnas aud dangh-
tera of grandees. She kept up her reputa
tion there, too. She became the bosom
friend of Queen Isabella, whose memory is
fraught witb indiscretions. The two, ac
cording to all accounts, lived together twin
voluptuaries. Mrs. Eaton returned to
Washington again a widow, or became
one soon after her return. She lived
quieter now. She bad all that money
could bring. She liyed in quiet ele
gance with her daughter. The stories about
her continued. After her return society
would not receive her. Her daughter, then
sixteen years of age, was almost a proto
type of her mother in beauty and possessed
almost as brilliant a wit. An Italian danc-
-Ing master was employed to train, .her in
the intricacies of terpstchore. He was a
dapper doll-baby man,but handsome withal.
The mothex fell in love with him; he fell in*
love with the daughter; and the daughter
was also enamored of her teacher. His
name was Bachlgnanl. Mrs. Eaton, still as
vigorous as a woman of twenty-five, married
him. She was as proud of the slim Italian
as a maiden of her first lover. They lived
together not very long. She trusted him
with all her property. One fine day, or
rather one dark night, the Italian eloped
with the daughter, taking all the money—
he had converted the property into cash—
with him. They want to Italy and lived In
regal Btyle. Mrs. Eaton had but little left
and that was soon gone. Two relatives in
this city, one a young man aud the other a
young lady, both in government em
ploy, have supported her since. She was ever
lively and brisk. Her wit never lost its
brightness to her death. This is a brief out
line of the life of a most remarkable woman
—a woman who in her day was more talked
of than many a Queen, with all her prestige.
MR. CHARLES GREEN’S COACHMAN.
Sergeant Diusmore guards during the day
the outer portals of the White House. Yes
terday there walked in a darkey, elderly,
erect, and with the peculiar air that belongs
alone to the Southern negro. He said he
was Charles Green’s coachman—“Charles
Green, of Madison square, Savanny, Georgy,
sah.” His boss had a big mansion, sab.
The Sergeant took him in, amused at
his many crude negro phrases, and
made him talk for perhaps an hour
about “de Souf.” He then showed
him around the rooms of the White House.
The glories of the Ea3t room dazzled him.
“Fo’ God, boss. I aint seed nuffin like dis
befo*,” he said iu amazement. The recep
tion rooms with their uniformly blended
colors, under the half dead light from
chandeliers that sparkled with a thousand
eyes, overcame him. “Bo68,1’sc so glad I
cum,” he 6aid quietly ; “and dis is where
de Pressdent libs; wunner if I could see
him. I’ee been Norf, and dat’s more specially
what I stopped here fur.” The Sergeant
oiled the doors that let “Charles Green’s
coachman” into the President’s room. He
shook hands with Mr. Hayes and came out
with more wonder on bis face, but
with a happy and very conscious
look. He started to leave, ejacu
lating all the way “And dis is wbar
de Pressdent libs, and I’s seed de Press-
dent. Fo’ God, boss, I’sc glad I cum.”
He had not gone many steps from the door
when he turned back: “ Boss, ray name’s
Samuel N. Young, and I’ffi Charles Green’s
coachman, of Madison square, Savanny,
Georgia; do you know euuy of dera news
paper geinmcn ?” The Sergeant did. “Will
you, please, bos*, have ’em put in de Sa
vanny paper fo’ I gits dar, dat 1 called on
de Pressdent and he seed me.” “Charles
Green’s coachman ” then went over to ?ee
Gen. Shertnan, who received him kindly,
and wrote a letter to his master, while the
darkey rolled his eyes around the General’s
sumptuous apartments. I believe General
Sherman’s headquarters were once in the
bouse of the master of “Charles Green’s
coachman.”
THE AUTOMATIC BUOY.
Col. E. C. Anderson was in the city the
other day. He called upon the officers of
the Lighthouse Board in reference to tbe
placing of the automatic buoy to mark the
approaches to the 8avannah harbor. He
located on the chart where the buoy should
be placed. Arrangements will be made at
once for placing tbe bnoy. The Secretary
of the board*spoke of removing tbe light
ship when the buoy wa6 placed. This 6hip,
he said, was rapidly filling with water, now
having two feet in her bold. It was shown
that it would be dangerous to remove her
unless she is to be replaced by a beacon
light of some kind. The lightship may be
removed, but if she is the light will take
her place.
THE VIEWS OF MR. STEPHENS.
Hop. Alexander H. Stephens has arrived
in the city to attend the meeting to-morrow
of the House Committee on Rules. He has
been slightly interviewed. He thinks the
Democratic majority in Congress should
give their whole attention during the com
ing session to needed legislation and let
President making alone. He believes tbe
>eop!e of the whole country—North, South,
iast and West—want to turn their backs
upon the past and look to the future. They
want “reform,” not in words, but actual re
form in the government of tbeir affairs;
that they want wise legislation, and “they
will support the party that looks to their
wants.” He said to-day that after two mil
lions of Democrats had resorted to arms to
put down “State rights” it ?as folly to at-
«mpt to convince them by argument that
what they had put down was right. Mr.
Stephens remarked that he did not believe
thttfe were a dozen men in Georgia in favor
of Tilden for the Presidency; that there Is
Thomas K. Beecher fa a discourse, strong and bitter opposition to him; but the
State would vote tor him it nomln&ted.

The Democratic Party of'New York.
New York Herald.
The thoughtful and intelligent part of
the Republican press are very'far from
exulting over the success of their party
in electing Mr. Cornell. They find more
of warning than of encouragement in a
victory which is due to the Democratic
split. 3Ir. Cornell is not elected by a
majority, but by a mere plurality. The
two Democratic candidates for Governor
have received twenty-five or thirty thou
sand more votes than were given to the
Republican candidate. The natural infer
ence—the inference which Democrats
throughout the country are sure to draw—
is that a Democratic candidate for the
Presidency # popular enough to reunite
the party in New York has excellent
chances for carrying the State next year.
That is to say, a Presidential candidate
who should receive all the votes given to
both Robinson and Kelly would distance
a candidate receiving only the votes
given to Cornell. The aggregate vote of
1880 will indeed be larger than the ag
gregate vote of 1879; but if the same
proportions are maintained the reunited
Democracy would sweep the State.
The actual result in New York, al
though discouraging, will by no means
reduce the Democratic party to despair.
If the Democrats are wise enough to
profit by their chastisement; if their de
feat in a State which is the pivot of the
Presidential canvass shall render them
more cautious and prudent; if it cures
the party in Congress of the kind of
antics it cut at the last regular session,
and, in a milder form, at *the extra ses
sion, the party will still have a chance of
carrying this pivotal State and electing
the next President. Every intelligent poli
tician has long seen that the Presidential
election hinges on the vote of New
York. As Senator Conklihg stated in
his speech to the Saratoga Convention,
and, more recently, in his speech in
Brooklyn, the Democratic party needs
only forty-seven electoral votes in addi
tion to the one hundred and thirty-eight
of the solid South, and if New York goes
Democratic it will furnish thirty-five of
the needed forty-sevau. The State of
Indiana will supply more than the other
twelve. Indiana is a Democratic State,
and it has fifteen electoral votes. New
York and Indiana together, if both go
Democratic, will add fift3’ electoral votes
to the one hundred and thirty-eight of
the solid South, which will make three
more than are necessary to elect a Demo
cratic President. The Democratic party
need borrow no trouble about the re
cent Republican victories in tbe other
Northern States if it can carry New
York and retain its hold on Indi
ana. But without New York it has no
possible chance. In military phrase,
New York is the key of the Presidential
position. If Mr. Cornell had been
chosen Governor b3 T a majority, instead
of a mere plurality, the Presidential con
test would be already as good as decided.
But inasmuch as the two Democratic can
didates had a majority of the votes be
tween them it is obvious that if alj the
Democratic votes had been given to one
candidate that candidate would have
been elected over Mr. Cornell. It is this
state of the vote which causes foreboding
anxiety among tbe intelligent Republican
politicians of the* State, who are more
discouraged than elated over the result of
the recent election. Among that part of
the Republican press which raises a cry
of warning, instead of shouts of exulta
tion, is our shrewd and keen-sighted con
temporary, tbe Commercial Advertiser.
This astute and intelligent journal said
yesterday:
“It must be clear to the minds of all men that
if the Democrats hail been united Mr. Cornel#
would have been overwhelmingly, defeated^
The Republican party would have been demor
alized and gone down under the pressure of.
seventy-five thousand majority. Thousands who
voted for him on Tuesday would have either
voted for Robinson cr remained away from the
polls. The feeling against Sir. Cornell and the
men who unwisely forced his nomination was
intense and bitter and widespread, as the vote
for Governor shows. President Hayes and the
members of his Cabinet could not have mod
erated the anger of the offended Republicans
of the State. Nothing but tbe fight made by
Mr. Kelly aud the furor demonstrated la ha
favor, which made Mr. Corn-ll’s elect‘on ap
pear as a foregone conclusion, calmed down the
excited and aggravated Republicans. After
the sober second thought they became satisfied
that Mr. Kelley's bolt must lead to Mr. Cornell’s
election, and that their efforts would not defeat
him. The entire action of the Saratoga Con
vention was brainless and stupid.”
This emphatic exposure of Republi
can weakness is all the more notewortby-
from the fact that the Commercial Adver
tiser gave a icyal and zealous support to
the Republican ticket, which it disap
proved. Another Republican contempo
rary, the Times, had an article 3’esterday
in a similar vein. Its judgment cannot,
perhaps, be regarded as quite so disin
terested as that 01 the Commercial Adver
tiser, since the Times kept up an undertone
of growling through the canvass. But
both of these Republican journals take
substantially the same view. Neither of
them thinks the prospect very bright for
the Republican party in New York next
year without wiser management than has
prevailed in the recent canvass. The
Times, like the Commercial, recognizes
the fact that Mr. Cornell’s success is
solely due to the Democratic schism, and
that if the divided Democracy had been
united Mr. Cornell would have been
badly beaten. The Times says:
“Here are the obvious facts: The Democrats
had two candidates for Governor, the Republi
cans one. The 'bolting' Democratic candi
date obtained a vote of at least 65.000 through
out the State, or 25,000 more than the estimated
majority of the regular Republican over the
regular Democratic candidate. In other words,
if the vote on Governor be held to be a test of
Republican and Democratic strength in this
State the Republican party has been shown to
be in a minority of 25.000 votes. On the other
hand, if the vote on Li .-utenant Governor, on
which both Democratic factions were united,
be taken as a test of party strength the R**-
mblicans would seem to have a sin-ill majority
n the State, or, at the worst, to have a very
small majority against them.’*
The striking discrepancy here alluded
to between the Republican vote for Gov
ernor and the Republican vote for the
residue of the ticket is a noteworthy and
most significant* feature of the election.
How did it happen that while Mr. Cor
nell fell twenty-five or thirty thousand
behind the aggregate vote of the Demo
cratic party for its two candidates for
Governor the balance of the two tickets
have run neck and neck? The reason
which the Commercial and the Times agree
in assigning for this singular phenomenon
is the unpopularity and inexpediency of
the Saratoga nomina ion for Governor.
Both of these journals think that Senator
Conkiing blundered in forcing his candi
date upon the party, and that without
wiser management next year the
State will be given away to the
Democrats if they bury the hatchet
and smoke the pipe of peace
in the Presidential canvass. If the vote
for Governor can be regarded as a cri
terion of the strength of parties in this
State the Democrats are in a clear ma
jority if tiicy can be reunited. Even if
the vote for minor State offices be taken
as a test, the chances of the Republican
party for carrying the State next year
must be regarded as. extremely doubtful.
No Republican of cool judgment can re
gard this as a very promising outlook.
The Republican victories in other States
will not save the.party if it loses New
York, because New York and Indiana
are the only two Northern States which
the Democrats need to carry next year to
enable them to elect their candidate for
the Presidency.
The great question for the Democratic
party in the National Convention next
spring will be. What candidate has the
best chance of carrying New York? In
diana i3 so strongly Democratic as to be
pretty safe, and New York is doubtful
enough to stimulate the hopes and excite
the fears of the party throughout the
country. As its last chance is staked on
the possibility of copying this State it
will be compelled to select its candidate
and frame its platform with reference to

GRESS.
HI* Speeds to the School Children
In Bnrlincton, Etc.
General Grant had a magnificent recep
tion at Burlington, Iowa, the other chy.
At 4:30 in the afternoon it was estimated
that 15,000 people had been in the Bar
rett House at the reception. At the con
clusion of the hand shaking the General,
with the Mayor and Governor Gear,
visited the public school buildings. Six
thousand scholars welcomed them by
singing “Hail to the Chief.” In alyief
speech the General said: “I believe that
if there ever is another war in this
country it will be one of ignorance versus
intelligence, and in that conflict the State
of Iowa will achieve a great victory.
Furthermore, I think that war will be one
of ignorance and superstition combined
against education and intelligence, and I
am satisfied that the children here will en
roll in the army of intelligence and wipe
out the common enemy—ignorance,
thank you for your kind attention.” The
children then sang “America,” and there
was a scramble among them to shake the
General’s hand. He left the Adams resi
dence, at Burlington, a little before five
o’clock, and proceeded to his special car.
A band preceded his carriage, and an
escort of the Grand Army men followed
it At the station there was a very large
and enthusiastic crowd in waiting. The
General made his adieu from the end of
his car, and left amid hearty cheers. At
Galesburg there was a large.crowd in
waiting, and after repeated calls for a
speech, General Grant said: “I am very
glad to get into Illinois again, and I am
very glad to see you all, but I have great
sympathy with the newspaper men here
behind me. I am a man of economy,
and as they have to go to the expense of
telegraphing every word I say, I will
make no speech.”
The West and the Presidency.
Nashville American.
'Another Democrat” writes to-day in
favor of a Western Democrat for Presi
dent, and in a catholic spirit of desire
for the triumph of Democracy without
regard to men beyond the point of in
sisting that the man must conform to the
principles and to Democratic require
ments for office. The circumstances ap
pear to us to point conclusively now to
the East. It is a long time between this
and the nominating convention. Con
gross intervenes, new issues may become
prominent, old ones die out. ana discus
sion may throw a very different light on
politics. As it is in the East and South,
Mr. Ba\’ard is growing, not in popularity,
for no man is more entitled to, or has
more of the popularity which arises
from profound respect, and from
service well performed, but in strength
as a candidate. It is the independent,
sound-thmking vote we want, and
that we do not believe 3Ir. Tilden can
obtain. Hence we have endeavored to
show whj—not that any charge has
been proved against 3Ir. Tilden, but that
he stands with charges against him,
which are peculiarly likely to lose him
that vote, and because he lost that veiy
vote before to a considerable extent by
the revenue charges, and especially the
large German vote. Any man who now
believes that the Democracy can go into
the next fight, relying on the solid South
and New York ana Indiana, is egregi-
ously mistaken as to the policy or we
are greatly in error. The Democracy
can only safely play a national game
aud prepare for sweeping the. board..
The slip which is possible in the
solid South and two Northern States
should admonish the Democracy to go
into the conflict with a candidate who is
entitled to carry the honest votes of any
State, and to nominate whom is an as
surance that the country is safe in Demo
cratic hands—safe politically, safe finan
cially, safe as to its institutions, and as
to its credit. Thus Democracy can suc
ceed. Grant is to be tbe Republican
nominee and 3Ir. Bayard is the only
Democrat, unless Robinson could do it,
who can obtain the almost solid German
vote. He is immensely popular with the
Germans, and Schurz would be con
strained to support Ba>'ard against Grant.
He is tbe only Democrat who can carry
the Republican independent vote.
It is because we believe the Democracy
cannot enter this conflict with just cloth
enough to cut a scant success out of—
the solid South and enough Northern
votes to elect, that we have opposed 3Ir.
Tilden’s nomination. For this rea
son we desire the nomination of 31r.
Ba3’ard, a contest to the knife, by a truly
National Democracy. At this time we
know of no Western man who can carry
New York* while we believe 3lr. Bayard
can carry New Y r ork, no matter how it
goes to day, and several other Northern
States, amongst which is even Ohio, and
on sound reason, as against Grant.

Messrs. Weeks A Potter have never doubted

They ore enabled to say without fear of con

Strange Suicide of a Russian Lady.
3Ioscow society would appear to be
just now considerably exercised by tbe
suicide of one of its brightest ornaments,
the young and lovely Countess Vera
Koschelen, who a short time ago sud
denly disappeared from her palace in the
old Russian capital, only two days after
her solemn bethrothal to Count Heimann,
which had been celebrated with festive
rejoicings upon an unusually magnifi
cent scale. No one could imagine
whither she had gone until her steward
received a letter from her, written at her
chateau in the Crimea, wherein she in
formed him that “she was going to bathe
in tbe river running through her estate,
and should not return alive from her
bath.” She also described the exact spot
near which her body would be found
in the water. Search was, of course,
made with all possible promptitude, and
it resulted in the discovery of the beauti
ful young Countess’ corpse sewn up in a
large straw sack and snnk in the river.
The seams were found to be in the in
terior of the sack, proving that Vera
Koscheleff had deliberately sewn herself
up in the sack on the river bank and
then cast herself into the stream. In
another letter, addressed to one of her
uncles, and received by him some time
after her death, she gave as her reason
for inclosing herself in a sack previously
to drowning herself, her extreme fear of
crawfish and water beetles. Few stranger
and more fantastic suicides have been re
corded even in Russian annals of self-
destruction, which are exceptionally rich
in grisly stories of this particular de
scription.
The old trick of getting up a sham
fight in the gallery of atheatre, and then
throwing the stuffed figure of a man
over the railing, was successfully played
at Leadville recently. The excitement
in the lower part of the house caused a
panic, and an actress fainted on the stage.

Mill property in Switzerland has
rapidly depreciated in value. Three cot
ton mills were built a few years ago at a
cost of $320,000. In 1875.when the firm
failed, the property was valued at $250.-
000. A few months since it was acquired
by the Berne Bank of Commerce, that
had made advances upon it for $150,000.
The mills are now a third time adver
tised for sale at $70,000, with-poor pro?
