Another tale of blood and murder in
Grunt parish hu tteen oomnttmicHtrd to
nn. It appears that about ten £ay* ago a
gray-haired old man, a stranger to* the
oountnr, purchased a home from a negro
at Cotile Landing, iu Grant pariah, giving
in lion therefor u pistol It appears tliat
the horse had Inen stolen from a white
inau named Daniels, and the supposition
is that the purchaser must have strongly
suspected the theft, or he would notire-
eeive the animal at such a price. How
ever this may be, the old man left the
rnrish and went in the direction of the
Hississippi river. He was pursued by
Daniels and 8baw (he of shrievalty
notoriety In the Colfax affair of
Easter Handay, 1873). They met him
near the banks of the Mississippi and
brought him baok to Grant. A dtty or
two afterwards, the body of a man was
found near Big Creek, with hi* arms
pinioned and his throat ent from ear ; to
ear,nud his face eaten up, beyond the pos
sibility of recognition, by the buzzards.
He was, however, identified by his cloths,
and some other signs, as the old man who
had purchased the horse. No arrest has
been made.
About the same time a soldier of the
7th Cavalry, stationed at Colfax, was shot
and killed by a companion. Both of them
had been drinking and wandered out into
Calhoun's plantation, when a brawl en
sued and a corpse was the result. The
other soldier is now in olone custody in
the military oamp, Lieut. Godfrey com*
minding.—AT, 0. Picayune, l&th.

The following is a true incident which
occurred the other day in this city: “A
lady hired an old negro woman named
Charlotte, who had the mwt exalted
opinion of her own individuality and
originality. Whenever a subject was
under discussion in the family, Charlotte
would be snre to state her own superior
method of proceeding iu suoh matters.
Ou ono occasion the lady waa
talking of aendif|g some of the
ohildren to aehcol, when Charlotte
pnt in her oar as usual: 'Lor! Missus,'
she said, what mok you pay money fur
to send de chile to school. I got one
smart boy name Jonus, but I lams him
mysolf.' 'But, aunt Charlotte,' replied
the lady, *how can you teach yonr child
when don't know one letter from another ?’
How I teach him ?’ I jis mek him tek de
book an' act down on de flo, an’ d«m I say :
Jonus, you tek yo eye fruni dat book,

The Prelti ef the Hate Baad.
In a speech delivered on Thursday, at
the convention of stockholders of the
Georgia Railroad, Mr. E. W. Cole, late
Superintendent of that road, and also of
ficially connected with the Western & At
lantic Rtilroad, made an admission con-
• corning the latter which will be read with
• carious interest by the publio generally.
'Iu the eourse of his remarks he stated that
tthe income of the State Road last year
Remounted to $1,400,000, a ad the total ex-
pieaaea to $800,000, leaving a profit of
«ftM,i<J0O. We suppose that in the $800,
000 |a included the $300,000 paid the
tkate tor rent. But eveu if the rent has
.to be takan from the $000,000 the neat
worn of $30G,MD remains to be divided
among the lewtfos.
These figures ate of ouriona interest—
the more so as Cm* far the lessees
nave not permitted any report of their
business and expenses to be published—
hence we must suppose that Col. Cole’s
remarks were made inadvertently; that,
in Bhort, he "let the oat oat of the bag’
wi'hout intending it. It must be remem
bered, too, that the business of the State
road last year was not as large as usual,
and not so large as it will be this year if
we have anything like an active Fall
. trade.
A profit of $000,000 in one year is a
nice plum for a party of gentlemen who
, have not to spend oue dollar of their own
1 money to obtain it. Tbe fact that snob a
; sum could be earned from it is proof
; that the gentlomeu w ho offered $30,000 per
unoulh, rental, could huvo paid it easily
mud still made large sums of money,
Wiili the incroa*e of our population and
ewaincqueut increase of our commerce,
tktt> pcolitn of the Western A Atlantic
RvQr«md will quadruple before the lease
expiree, awvd every shareholder will make
ji fortune <e#t of the roud.
Of course *&>.e large profit already oh.
«;dm)d is due wholly to the admirable
$n u4Uer in which the roud has been man
aqed since General Melt »« became its hu
p 'riniendeut, mid should he resign to
tilke charge of tho Georgia Road, to the
auperintendency of which b» has just
I eon elected, the lessees will find it ex
tremely difficult to find a man who can
lilt h : s place with tbe success that bos at
tended his management. That, how
ever, is a question for their considera
tion. That the road will prove a mine
of wealth to them we havo not tbe
slightest doubt. An old railroad official
with whom we have had some conversa
tion on tbe subject estimates that the
profits on every share will average $30,
000 per annum, by the time tbe lease ex
pires if the road is managed with anything;
like economy. This will give a total ol
$760,000 per share—a very handsome
return in a quarter of a century, from an
investment that has not cost a single
• dollar.—Atlanta News.

DEATH OF OEM. I. C.
BoA Anneal
A Htkle,
—Tbe Biohmond Journal says that Dr.
James Beale hes deposited in the 8tate
Library of Virginia a portrait of tbe In
dian Princess Pocahontas, to whom many
of tbe leading Virginia familiea trace
their origin. Tbe paper eaye this portrait
makes Pocahontas a very pretty woman
of abont twenty years of age, and olotbed
in the uppor-cruBt toggery prevalent in
tbe nation of her father, King Powhatan.
Tbe portrait deposited by Dr. Beale ia an
exaot copy by tbe older Solly, made in
1830, of an original portrait of Pooahoo-
taa, painted between tbe years 1610 and
1617, daring her visit to England, in
oompany with her hnsband, John ltolfe.
The remains of the original portrait wore
in 1848 in poseaaion of Dr. Bobinsuu, in
Petersburg. Thomas Bolfe, a son of
Poeahontan, was born at Plymouth, Eng
land, in 1616, soon after bis mother
arrived there, and hia mother diod at
Gravesend in 1617. Her eon, after
hia arrival at man's estate, returned to
Virginia and married, and died, leaving
an only ohild, John Bolling, whose daugh
ter, Jane, married Hichnra Bandolph of
Cnrlos, iu the county of Henrico, State of
Virginia. Byland Bandolph, son of the
latter, proenred from England, the origi
nal portraits of John Bolfe and Pocahon
tas, and placed them where they bang
for many years in bis mansion at Turkey
Island. Hr. Bandolph died in 1784.
when both picture# passed into the pos
session of Thomas Bolling of Cobbs, in
Chesterfield county. Those pictures are
named in an enumeration of the estate of
Ur. Bandolph, recorded in Henrico
County Court in 1784.

The sad|newa of the death of this dis

abilitlea of a high order. In person ho
was tbe perfection of phyaieal form—
tall, splendidly built, with a noble face,

John 0. Breckinridge waa born near
Lexington, Kentucky, Jan. 21, 1821, Waa
educated ft Danville, and studied law at
Transylvania Institute, in the same State.
On the breaking ont of the Jllexioan war
in 1847, be volunteered for military ser
vice, and waa chosen Major in a regiment
of Kentucky volunteers. On hia return
he waa elected to tha Kantnoky Home of
Bepresentativea. In 1851 ha waa elected
to Congress and re-elected in 1853. At
the election of 1856 Mr. Breckinridge
was ohosen as Vioe President, with Mr.
Buchanan President, and presided in the
Senate with dignity and ability for the
next four years. In 1860 ha waa one of
the candidates of the Democratic party
for the Presidency, bat was defeated. At
the commencement of tho oivil war ha
waa a United Statea Senator from Ken
tucky, but openly avowed hia sympathy
with the Confederates, and soon altar
joined them, and waa 'expelled from the
United States Renata in Deoembcr, 1861.
Tbe following summer ha waa appointed
a Major-General in tha Oonfedrate army,
and took part in several battles. Hia cel
ebrated charge at Murfreesboro’ equals
any in history. It waa mads also by di
rect command of Gan. Bragg. Breokin-
ridge suffered terribly hot gained tha ob
ject desired. He was Secretary of War
in Jeflersoo Davis’ Cabinet frbm Februa
ry, 1865, to the close of tha war. In
June of that year he eaoapod from tha
country to Cuba, and thence to England.
He remained abroad till 1869, whan ha
returned and avowed hia determination to
take no part iu politioa henoeferth, n res
olution which he (haa strictly observed,
devoting hia attention entirely to hia pro
fession, tha law.

oommittee appointed to investigate tbe
means by which Mr. George E. Spencer
soenred his eleotion to the United States
Senate from Alabama ought to besuffi
oient to insure tbe expulsion of that din.
reputable person immediately upon the
mooting of Congress in December. Mr.
Spencer waa long ainoe oharged with the
lying, bribery and corruption wbioh have
now be-n proven against him, bnt Con
gress tailed to take any notion. This
was probably because the number of
fraudulently eleoted Congressmen from
tha South, sitting in each House, was so
large that if an inquiry into their rights
to the places they oconpied had keen
begun there was no telling where it would
have slopped. But now that the charges
are clearly proven, tbe Senate can hardly
afford to ignore snoh a state of affairs as
is shown, by tbe investigation now mak
ing in Montgomery, to have existed at
tbe time Mr. Spenoer stole bis election.
Nor coaid the House of Bepreseutatives

—It was stated the other dey that tbe
grasshoppers had been frozen out by tbe
severity of the winter, but slate dispatch
from St. Joseph, Missouri, announces
that they have “multiplied and grown
like magic in the past few days," and
from that point all the way out to the
ltocky Mountain* we hear of them in
alarming numbers. In some parts of
Kansas they are said to have already done
great barm, and there Beerna evory pros

the birds from tbe prairies. Tens of
thousands of grnase and other game, tho

Washington, May 17.—The Court of

before the capture of that city went

amount of money of a firm for whom ho
was an endorser. When leaving, he waa
possessed of certain buildings in
Nashville, Tennessee, which in 1864
were Mixed by tha supervising
Treasury agents as abandoned property.
The olaimant averred in hia petitiou that
he waa always a loyal oitizen; bnt this,
Ure court said, did not strengthen his
oaoo- As ha voluntarily entered the ene
my's linco, tha set of seizure of the prop
erty was a war measure, and it made no
difference whether it was seized by tho
army or by a Treasury agent. The olaim
ant sought to recover on tho grounds of an
implied eontraet, and tho liability of I ho
Government for tbe act of ils officers.
The Committee says no action can be
maintained on that ground; and that if
tha olaimant waa entitled to reoovery, he
ought to have presented his enso under

failed to do. The case was dismissed.

To oiy correspondents; When onr

amined on oath, he as. asked by the
Judge to give thensinos of the authors of
nevoral articles which hnvo appeared in
our paper. He then stated that he could
not recollect tbe names, but that there
was a book at the offloo in which* the
names of all onr correspondents and sub
editors wore rcoorded. Yesterday after
noon two officers of the criminal court
presented themselves in onr office and de
manded from our busiueea manager tbe
aaid book. But this gentleman, warned
by eertain proceedings against tbe Frank
furter Zritung, had removed that book
from the office and deposited it some
where else for safe keeping. Tbe officers
at once searched the whole nffioe, ex
amined onr clerks ou oath, and convinced
themselves of tbe truth of tho above
statement. To prevent all proceedings
either by the poliae or by the aourts
against onr correspondents, I have burned
to day the aaid book, every page of it.
