She was married at the age of 13 yean. “Mn.uom of yonng graeahoppen are reported in every aeotion of Dallas oonn- ty, Texas. Thbkb thousand tons of steel rails are lo be laid down upon the Lonisville and Nashville Road. Ex-Prisidbiit Gbant was made the grandfather of a little girl baby on Sat urday by lira. Hartoris. Thb Comptroller of the onrreney has declared a dividend of 10 per eent. in fa- * vorof theorediton of the City National Bank of Chieago. Lotta (Miss Crabtree) is said to be worth more than #400,000, and only last week she sold #73,000 worth of property to John Jacob Astor. Hon. N. D. Sfbbbt, who has just been oonflrmed Postmaster at New Haven, Conn., has already held the oflloe 1C yean, and most acceptably, too. Beam,, Aimee's tenor,married a danaer, and hie father, a rich bourgeoiae, disin herited him. He now gets #1,000 a month, and has his wife and seven chil- dnn. Tax family of the Southern Genernl Albert Sidney Johnson own lands on which an immense bed of ooal has been discovered. It is an effectual torn of fortnne'a wheel. Ha. S. P. Stiokhei, the veteran oirons man, and the father of the celebrated Robert Stiokney, died a few days aiuee in Ginoinnati, aged 00 years. He inaugn rated the four horse sot. Aooobdino to the Ohioego Timee, John H. Noyes, the fonnder, and to a very large extent the father of the Oneida community, was the man who first nomi nated Hayes for the Presidency. What a faroe it all was, says the Spring- field Hepubliean. Here we were told last October that Holler most be elected til “put down Ben Hill," and last Saturday that identical Ben Hill, voted to oonfirm Fred Douglass! Thb suits against Donn Piatt are to be dismissed. They are too ridiculous to stand fire, and were perhaps only intend ed to frighten the editor of the Capital into what Gen. Grant oonoeived to be a sense of propriety. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Time* “regrets to learn” that Postmaster General Key will retire from the Cabinet within ninety days, and that bis suooessor will be Mr. Tyner, his •intent, and one of Morton’s pets. Speakeb Randall feels confident that be has more than enough Democrats pledged to him to seoure his nomination in the Democratic caucus on the first bal lot, and ho ridicules the idea of the pos ■•BE OF THE FBAVB'E POLICY. His Fraudalenoy again spreads himself in generous words He talks nicely, and than goes bank on all the sweet phrases. His Southern policy is a humbug, and it is being recognised as snob, and his promisss as the gush of a plausible hypo- crit. He now invites Governor Hampton and Mr. Chamberlain to Washington to confer with him. If they eannot come he would like to see a confidential dele gate, or raeeive any written eornmnnioa- tion. He has the same sort of twaddle about the general good as was contained in his letter of aooeptanoe and inaugural— general platitndea that oan be oonstrued to suit a RepnMioan or Democrat, Con servative or Radical. It is the mere gen eralities of a trimmer who desires to keep Democracy quiet while be establishes Republicans in thsir rascally-derived places. He does not gush this time about local self-government. He knows fall well the status of the two parties. He is aware that every judge in South Carolina has declared Hampton the'Governor de jure and de faetc, and nearly every one is a Republican. • He is acquainted with the fact that a majority of the Supreme Court has united in this expression ; that every member did so, and the negro Wright afterwards yielded to the Radioal bull-doners' threats and retraoted. He has the information that the Congressional committee unanimously decided that Hayes and Hampton had been elected in that State; that Hsmpton is supported by the wealth and intelli gence of the Commonwealth, and that to his offloera alone are the taxes being paid; that the judges secure their salaries from his treasury, and his government is sup porting all the pnblio and eleemosynary Institutions of Bonth Carolina. Cham berlain has only the prop of Fed eral bayonets, and his packed Legislature, like that of Paokard in Louisiana, will fall to pieces the moment this stay is re moved. The most honorable men in the South have assured Bradley’s man that if troops were withdrawn they would pledge their honor there would be no bloodshed, no disturbance, the laws would be main tained, and juatioe done regardless of race or color. Nevertheless, this noaenity wants a conference with Hampton and Chamberlain. He wishes to get Wheeler into the oonfeb and induoe another Wheeler compromise by which the Re turning Boards oan be sustained. Why the oroation of Mad. Walls and Joe Brad ley baa not a decent regard for the opin ions of mankind. The Bonth with reason has looked for years upon the Federal Administration as a fomenter of disoord rather than a pro. motor of harmony. The eonviction has been forced upon our entire seetion by oontinual oppression, that everything it attempt is against it. It is no less true now. Hnyea is worse than Grant. The latter made no promises and boldly pro. olaimed he was “President of my party.” Hayes continually makes pledges, allows his intimate friends to proclaim them for him, and then breaks them as rapidly as be makes them. If his plighted word had been fulfilled, Chamberlain and Pack ard would now be without the vestige of authority and the chosen and eleoted rnlers would have fall sway, and harmony prevail among the people, and the sources of political destruction removed from the country. HOW HOMEY TALKS. The property holders of Louisiana are telling by the way they pay taxes whst Governor they prefer. The Messrs. Brooks, of Boston, who own millions in New Orleans, and others of the very lar gest property holders in Louisiana, have execution or a auioi John D. Lee, onoe a “Bishop” in the Mormon Church, was shot to death yes terday at Mountain Meadow, the seene of the maaseore of asMgrants, committed under the order and direction of Lee, many years ago. Justioe at last caused the crime to be expiated. “The mills of the Gods grind slowly, But they grind oxeeedlnglr small; Though with patience He stands waiting, With exactness grinds He all." The law has followed Lee for years. The massacre was a oowardly brutal mur der. It was always thought be acted under Brigham Young's orders, and he alledges that he did, bnt Young bitterly denied it. Lee had eighteen wives and sixty-fonr ohildren. When arrested for the murder Brigham Yonng out him off from the Mormon Ohurob, eight of the wivee were divoroed from him in twenty-four hours, and only three remained faithful to the last. The Mormon leaders utterly de serted him; Mormons testified against him, and a Mormon jury brought in a ver dict. Notwithstanding this he died true to the Mormon dootrinea, and expecting to share the bliss of the Mormon here after. Just before execution, where he was not attended by a single relative, he de nounced Brigham Young in the bitterest terms, and denied that he was guilty of bloodshed, bnt had been sacrificed by Yonng. It was a species of righteous retribution that he should have been executed on the very spot where the men, women and children were murdered. He met death bravely. He was allowed his own oboioe in the method of being killed and de manded to be shot. His desire was granted. His last words were, “Aim at my heart.” Though we have a shuddering horror of the orimi. ual, still admiration is excited at the boldness and fearlessness with whioh hs faced and received death. His execu tioners were good shots, and he fell baok instantaneously upon his ooffin lifeless, and his viotims were avenged. Philadelphia Time*-. The carpet bag, gars are fighting for dear life, as their penisiant assaults upon the White Honse dearly show. The names of the men who pleaded the oaoae of Chamberlain before President Hayes yesterday are enough to damn their oase in the eyes of respects biiity and honesty. In truth, that case has not a leg to stand upon; it is weaker even than Packard’s in Louisiana. Every court in South Carolina—every one of them being Republican—baa recognized the Hampton government. Chamberlain is suported only by the immediate followers of the men who were at the White House yesterday to sue for his recognition and their oontinuanoe in places where they will have the oportunity to plunder the people still farther. It is hardly possible that the President will devote any serious attention to ths complaints and requests of this rabble. sibility of any coalition which oonld eleol | paid their taxes to the Nioholla Govern. a Republican Bpeaker. The number of laborers unemployed and seeking work in New York oity is said to be 65,000. The figures are sadly significant. It would not probably be saying too rnuoh to affirm that they repre sent at least 200,000 persons in aotual want, or nearly so, of the necessaries of life. Posthastes James has received a mass of gold found in the ruins of a postal oar burned at Bedan, Indiana, on the 9th inst. Several paokages of gold ooin, amounting to #26,000, were fused by the heat. Post master James will keep the lump until some plan has been arrauged for Ks dis tribution among the owers.—N. 7. P«»t. Mb H.lloLUNoswoaTH,Buperintendent at Mount Vernon, wishes the Herald to do him the favor to deny the paragraph whioti has received so wide currency in ths newspapers saying that the remains of Washington had undergone petrifac tion. Mr. Hollingsworth asserts that the report is both false and absurd. One of the last offioial acts of ex-Presi- dent Grant was to sign a bill to remove the legal disabilities of General Joseph E. Johnston, of Confederate fame, who was Bpoken of in connection with a place in President Hayes’ eabinet. Gen. John ston did not ask for the removal of his constitutional ban until the 16th of February last. Beobetaex Thompson authorizes the statement that after investigation there is found to be no oause for the ohsrgea that Assistant Secretary Conant has been furnishing information from the depart ment to speculators. It looks very muoh if there had been a conspiracy to injure him. Mr. Conant says the affidavits pub lished sre downright perjury. That paoifio Cabinet stand 4 to against the removal of troops. What ehanoe has the three! The tour always captures it. It is the old 8 to 7 game. The Louisiana Commission will be of the name composition. The poliey is emi nently paoifio—just enough to keep Pack ard and Chamberlain and the Returning Boards in. It fills one with diagnst to think of it. ment. This shows the oonfidenee of the people and whom they will have political control over their affairs. Packard de- pends upoq the funds he and his ring have, and the United States bayonets. The crowd of negroes around him do not require muob. A little whiskey and daily bread is all they require. Mad. Wells and the rest have stolen sufficient money to subsist the black and tan Legislature, and they will exact heavy interest from Louisiana if Wheeler’s commission re ports in Packard’s favor, and we know what Wheeler did several years ago. He kept Kellogg in power. The better olass of Louisianians have not a partiole of respeot for Paokard and bis gang, and many will not give him scent in taxes. This powerful souroe of good or ill, speaks strongly in thousands of dollars for Nieholls. IN A DOUBTFUL ASSOCIATION. The soslawags, darkies and “mixed’’ who compose the Legislatures, so oalled, of Chamberlain and Paokard aw juat now in a dubious condition. They arc not particularly certain whioh party will be suooessful, and they want to belong to the strong side. They imagine that the most powerful whioh is sustained by bay- ousts, and they are not so very far wrong. They must cling to that, for they know they were not eleoted exoept by the die turn of the Returning Boards. They are in a sweet mess. They can't draw big salaries as heretofore for want of money, and hanoe they shift to the other side whenever an opportunity is afforded, and then badly soared by the blue ooats still remaining, oossa bask again. Some in Louisiana have changed three times. Does Hayes' heart bleed for them as when he thought Tilden had won the fight! These Radical fellows are on the jagged edge of despair and are in terrible anx iety. They may yet have to take the plow handles, plant the guano, and ohop the early ootton. The Democrats olaim that the defection of State Senator Demos from the Nioholla Legislature does not break the Return ing Board quorum of that body. Nine teen is a quorum. The Senate now con sists of nineteen Returning Board mem bers and two eleoted according to the re turns. The Paokard Senate oonsists of seventeen Returning Board members,two less thsn a quorum and two members who were seated subsequent to ths con test. ME . NEXT HOWL ■postal Telegram t* me ohlaage Tlaaas.1 SAND ALL AaarVhS. Washington, March 19.—8pesker Ran- dall arrived here to-day. He intends to spend the next fortnight in this oity. He says that in his opinion the Democrats have a blear majority of' ten in the next House,—Ibis after consultation with Clerk Adams. He has been absent in Boston for some time, and is not, for that reason, so familiar with the Texes Paoifio subsidy scheme to make Foster Speaker of the next House. Randall says that he does not believe that the Republicans oan pos sibly organize the next Honse, bnt says if they oan, that it will be solely through the infinenoe of the Texas Paoifio riattoad gang. He is unalterably OPPOSED TO THIS SUBS IDT CKOWD but underestimates their strength. He has one hundred and fifteen votes pledged him, and if ths Demoorats are united, he has perfeet oonfidenee that he will be eleoted Speaker of the forty-fifth Con gress. He experts' an extra session. He does not see how in law it can be avoided. Some of the extreme Republicans 'here think that even if there were a union of the Southern railroad men with Republicans, Foster could not be alerted, because of his having inourred, by his conservative course, the hostility of the extreme Re publicans. However, this is not being oonsidered as being entitled to much weight. If Hayes seta up Foster, there will be no division among the Republi cans, who wonld ape under his leadership a obanoe to get on the heads of the com mittees instead of upon their tails. SATLXB IS HXBB and is working with the Southern men. He does not take as hopeful a view of tbinge ar does Randall. He does not un derestimate the strength of the Texas Paoifio subsidy orowd as Randall appa rently does. Nona of the lobby men will go away until the question of an extra session is officially deolared. Hayes would have a stronger grip ngon the Southern men in the fall than now; but four men of his Cabinet, Everts,Sehurz,Devens and MeCrary, are opposed to any attempt to avoid an extra session. There was no Cabinet meeting to-day. There will be one to-morrow that will be devoted to two topios—first, the consideration of this question of an extra session, And second, the Louisiana question. Attorney Gen eral Devens will submit a written opinion in favor of holding an extra session. This question onoe settled officially, the fight for the control of the next House will be gin ia good earneat. CLBBK ADAMS will be a very important man nntil the next house is organised. Daring the dose of the last session an amendment to the rules was made, placing the sergeant- at-arms under his direction. This will enable Adams to have enough force on hand to exclude from the floor all mem bers not upon bis list. It is fonnd that this list oan be made to have more of a majority than that assumed by Randall, as there are oonteeted election oases from Alabama, Florida, Ulinois, .Louisiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, North Car olina, Tennessee and Virginia. What Adams will do oannot now be positively foretold. He refuses to talk upon the subjeot at all. He has nerve enough and full power to organize the next House unless the whole Southern delegation should desert him. In his Cincinnati speech on Saturday evening Ingersoll said, in his character istic way: “These men of the South have already made us their debtors. Let me tell you something. If the high joint com mission had failed; if the Vioe President had never oounted the vote; if the eleo. tion bad been thrown into the House of Representatives, Ssmusl J. Tilden would never have been elected President, but Rutherford B. Hayes wonld have been elected by Southern votes. I know what I am talking about.” Bob simply told a falsehood and knew it.

Evstrts* Price. Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.] The polioy of Hayee is disgusting the Radical place-men, and they are letting out State secrets. One bit of gossip, which filters through Bill Chandler, is that when Everts came to Washington, just before the electoral bill passed, he had no ides of defending Hayes’ esse be fore the Electoral Commission. Indeed, on the contrary, he had been in negotia tion with the friend i of Tilden to defend that gentlemen’s olsims, end before leav ing New York to visit this oity he had about entered into the arrangement, ‘ the only detail omitted being the payment of his fee. While here the commission or ganized, and Zsch. Chandler asked him, on bthalf of the National Republican Committee, to tike the oase of Mr. Hayes and defend it. Everts deolined at first, and did not agree to go into it until he had an interview with Ex-Governor Den ison, of Ohio, in this city. Even then he was disinclined to aooept the servioe, but at a second interview with Denison, un known to Zaoh. Chandler, he allowed himself to be retained. It is asserted here that, when Denison made the first request for his services, Everts made the condition upon whioh he would give them that he should be appointed Secretary of State. Thsre was an interval of two days between the first and second inter view with Denison, and the story goes that meanwhile Denison received assur ances that, if Hayss was auccesafnl, Everts should have the place he coveted. Next he appeared before the Commission as Hayes defender. The goods have been delivered, and he ia now Secretary of State. It is also oharged that before Carl Sohurz consented to enter the oam psign in Hayes’ interest he had the bb- suranoe from the usurper himself that he should have a Cabinet billet. He is now, of course, a civil-service reformer. Langley Faotoby.—The Edgefield Ad tertieer says; Muoh mention has been made of the Granitevlllq Factory paying #1,000 towards the Hampton tax. All right and proper. But it is equally right and proper to state that the Langley Fac tory paid its quota, something over #400, with equal promptitude and cheerfulness, We have lately learned this fact from Mr. Luther Ransom,tax agent for Aiken ooun ty. Indeed, from all we can ascertain, Governor Hampton has had no more efficient workers than President Bibley. Superintendent Foster and Mr. Sprague, of the Langley Factory. I* is understood that the engineers ■siring exassinatlon as to the foundation of the Washington national monument, to thoroughly ascertain whether it issntt- eient to sustain the weight of the oom- pletad atrueturs, have reported ia favor at the sufficiency of the monument; and the appropriation of #200,000, or so muoh as remains after the costs of the examina tion are paid, has become available. Parson Newman has suooeeded in ef fecting a compromise with the Hayes family. The Star states that hereafter the President's family will divide their ohurch attendance between the Foundry Church and the Metropolitan, “to show that they have no disposition to snub the latter.” This is the mart amusing in stance yet of the strength of the Presi dent's oonciliation policy, and his desire to inaugurate an era of good feeling. Vice Pas* id bnt Whxxlxb has already condemned the Radical villaniee of Lou iaiana. Bet having become Vice Presi dent by the fraudulent vote of that State, he may hove e delieeey in eonnting out the men who oounted him in. We hope, however, for the beet, bat fear the worst.

Mr. Otay observed a knot of street Arabs, on ploaaanble thonghta intent, gathering round a goat that waa dozing in tha inn and rolling an old boot Ukeaaweet morsel under hia tongna. “what’s up, boys!” he laid affably. “We're a going to have some fan with the goat,” replied the arohins. Tha great Whig statesman looked np and down the street; no one was in sight. He loved fan, bnt had never enjoyed it in connec tion with a goat. “Boys,” aaid he; “I believe I will have a little fan with that goat,too; how do yon get it ont “of him?” “Grab him by the horns,’’ explained e boy; and with tha divine oonfidenoe of Boblpson Crusoe or Mason of the thirty- third degree, Mr. Gley seized the goat.
