A WAR STORY.
■i* tltc Feuplr nf to I u minis ytnr
From the Knoxville Tribune of a recent,
tlate we take the following war story:
The president of one of the banks in this
city tells the following strange but true
story of the late unpleasantness: “In the
year 1864, I was in Columbus. Georgia,
Wing absent front nty command on a
t hirty day’s furlough. I was tlrst lieuten
ant lit a company of General Forest’s com
mand and received my furlough from the
war department at Richmond. It was
signed and countersigned by different offl-
cers, and the last signature was that of
Judith P. Benjamin, the secretary of war.
1 was, of course, jubilant over being per
mitted to leave the irksome duties of camp
life awhile. I had gone from our cant])
near Waverly, Mississippi, to Columbus,
because I had relatives there. I left my
tried and true war horse with saddle,
hostlers and pistols with Colonel Young’s
people at their home, and at the
time I remember of thinking of
a beautiful young tilly that I had left at
my own home on alarm ten miles north of
Nashville, Tennessee, when 1 went into
t he confederate army.
I had been in Columbus only a short
while when I was summoned by Colonel
Vonsenkin, commandant of the fort, and
requested to take n picked scpiad of men
and go on the road leading from Columbus
to Opelika and endeavor to find out as near
ns possible the number of men under Gen
eral Wilson, the federal officer who was
then marching to attack Columbus. I bor
rowed a splendid buy stallion from a gen
tleman named Winters, of Columbus, and
as I mounted him I thought of my trusty
charger in Mississippi, and strangely
enough, again remembered the tilly
1 had left at my home near Nasli-
ville. At the head of a company
of eighty mounted men selected for
the occasion from the whole command, 1
crossed the bridge over the river and en
tered the little village of Girard. Hardly
bad we reached the outskirts of the town,
when the sharp crack of a rifle and the
close whizzing of a bullet told us that we
bad met the advanced guard of General
Wilson’s army. A fierce skirmish was the
immediate result and for a few minutes
the crash of small arms and the deadly
music of bullets made things quite inter
esting; but soon the handful of Wilson’s
Advance were in swift retreat, pressed hot
ly by the gallant southerners.
My magnificent stallion led the pur-
•suit, and singling out a splendidly
mounted orderly sergeant of the 2d Ohio
cavalry, I pressed him so closely that he
was compelled to spring from his horse
and make his escape over fences and
through the yard of the village. I caught
his horse, a beautiful and finely formed
mare, and took her back to Columbus
when we returned. This was the first cap
ture from the enemy that was ever taken
into Columbus, and my mare attracted no
little attention. The filly 1 had left near
Nashville was a splendid animal, sired by
Ingomar, and could pace about as fast as
an ordinary horse could run. I was very
much attached to her, and when
I mounted my prise, captured
from the Yankee, her color, style,
-splendid action and remarkable speed,
caused me to believe that she was no other
than my favorite I had left at home. Isold
the mare to Bishop Quintard, of Tennes
see, who was then in Columbus, for $2000.
Afterwards. I wrote to my uncle at home,
near Nashville, and learned from him that
a part of General Wilson’s command had
passed through Tennessee, and had camped
on our farm some weeks before. When
they left, my mare had been taken away
Ity an orderly sergeant of the 2d Ohio
cavalry; and I had captured her nearly a
thousand miles away.
FORGOTTEN GREAT MEN.
The Disappoint!
rut anil Mockery of| I'olltli'al
Life.
■St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The case of Robert M. T. Hunter, con
firmed a few days since to be collector of
the port of Tappahannoek, Va.—an office
worth only $230 a year—is a curious and
suggestive Illustration of the uncertain
ties of political life and the transitory na
ture of political reputation in this coun
try. It is doubtful if one in a thousand of
the readers of the newspapers recognized
Mr. Hunter’s name as that of a man once
everywhere well known as an active and
potent character in national politics. He
was conspicuous for forty years, and
rose successively from one office to
another until he reached the senate, from
which he was expelled in 1861, when he
became secretary of state in Jeff Davis’s
cabinet. He served the confederacy faith
fully and ably until the close of the war,
and was taken prisoner with Davis and
confined at Fort Monroe until President
Johnson released and pardoned him. Few
men ever had a more successful career, as
politicians estimate success; and yet alter
all his labor and all his experience, he
finds himself compelled in his old age to
ask for a humble little office to save him
from want, and it is given to him as a char
ity, since ltis infirmities arc known to be
such that he can not properly perform its
duties.
There are not many cases so utterly
ironical and pitable as this, perhaps; but
there are thousands which serve more
to convey the same impressive lesson. The
country is strewn with wrecks of men who
were once at the flood-tide of political
prosperity, and seemed certain to win per
manent fame and abundant material re
ward. Not all of them are miserably poor,
as Mr. Hunter is; but their estate is quite
as bad us his so far as the sense of final
failure is concerned. They sought to con-
, nect themselves with ttie political history
of their time in a fixed and memorable
form, and with all their exertion and all
their opportunities, the undertaking
resulted in disappointment and mockery.
The country even refuses to keep in mind
the fact that there was a time when their
names were familiar and popular, and
their influence distinct and pervasive. It
is hardly known that they live any longer,
so completely have they passed out of pub
lic sight and interest^ and when by chance
one of them is mentioned as ii participator
in former scenes of political importance
and splendor, an effort of the imagination
is required to give him credibility and lift
bis record out of the oblivion into which it
has gradually fallen.
Of the thousands of men who have been
prominent in our politics at different pe
riods of our history, how many are remem
bered in any definite or enduring way?
You can count them on your lingers. With
tlie exception of Webster, Clay, Calhoun
and Benton, it Is difficult to recall even b.v
name any of the long list of able and am
bitious statesmen who swayed the political
destinies of the nation forty years ago. In
deed, those of a date still considerably Inter
are by no means as easy to think of and to
place correctly as might reasonably be
supposed. They rendered wise and profita
ble service, many of them, and were ac
counted great in their day; but the
reputation they achieved was for a season
only', after all, and their countryman of the
present time know practically nothing of
it. We should at least lie able, it would
seem, to name readily and appreciatively
all those who occupied influential posi
tions ifi congress during the war; but it is
a lamentable fact that few of us can do so.
The five or six supreme figures of the time
we recollect promptly and vividly; but as
for the many others who, though not sur
passing, were distinctly forceful, we have
to consult the books to find out surely
whom they were and what we owe them
of praise and gratitude.

It is pleasant to turn from politics and
politicians to more material things. At
ME
the St. James I met General V. D. Groner,
of Norfolk. He Is the biggest ship nmn in
that southern seaport. He manages aline
of steamers from Norfblk to Boston, and
Norfolk to Washington, and another from
Norfolk to Liverpool.
“The south is improving very rapidly,!.’
said he. “Our city is growing fn im
portance every year. I think that
another season will find us the
second cotton shipping port iu the
United States. We nave erected a new
cotton compress in- the place of the one
we hnd destroyed by fire. This machine
gives us advantages of packing and loading
which no other seaport lias we pack the
cotton with it ready ftir shipping, so that
we do away with the cotton jammers
which were indispensable under the old
method. With tins new improvement we
put one-third more cotton into the same
space than before, And at a much less cost.
This cnubles us to do the work of packing
much cheaper than by any other process
ami makes us a successful competitor for
the cotton that used to go in other direc
tions. It is a labor-saving as well
as money-saving machine. But apart
from the commercial value of our new cot
ton shipping advantages, it adds to our im
portance ns a shipping port in many ways.
The future of Norfolk is assured. We were
never more sanguine of growth and pros
perity than at the present time. Onr truck
gardening interests are growing every day,
as is also our fish and oyster trade. Besides
the best harbor on tiie southern Atlantic
coast Norfolk presents climatic and other
conditions that are bound to make her an
important place.”
THE NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE.

Special to the Courier-Journal.
New York. June 14.—The employes in
the custom house are all in a state of
trepidation and uncertainty. Many re
movals have been recently made, and when
a cause was sought, the answer was, “No
particular cause.” In nearly all cases the
§ laces of republicans have been filled by
emocrats who have passed the civil ser
vice examination. The extension of the
“available” list has enubled appoint
ments to be made without the
collector being compelled, as formerly,
to take the first four. Those who
are conversant with the nature of the re
movals said to-day that before next elec
tion there will not be a “straight out re
publican in the custom house. They re
gard the changes as nothing more than
what was to be expected. Collector Hed-
den, smilingly said:
“With so many men in one office, and
deaths, resignations and removals cropping
out every day, there must be some changes.
It is all nonsense for the papers to make
any fuss about it.”
In reference to the coming examinations,
to lie conducted by Deputy Collectors
Berry and Davis, assisted by the collectors’
private secretary, Mr. Parker, it is under
stood that the law will be stretched to its
utmost limit in order to permit of the pro
motion of those who have proved them
selves “qualified” by services for the
party. The question of “offensive partisan
ship” in their cases will have to be left for
■Miothei adininistratihn to adjudicate
wpon.
The Er.lectlc Medical Association.
Atlanta, Ga., June 16.—The National
Eclectic Medical Association is holding its
sixteenth annual session in this city at De-
Give’s opera house. Mayor Hillyer wel
comed the association in behalf of the city,
and Secretary Wilder responded. Several
committees were appointed and twenty-
seven new members received. The at
tendance is large, every state in the union
being represented. The convention will
be in session till Friday.
A Tli'liet Nomlnatofi.
Nashnille, Tenn., June 16.—The re
publican state judicial convention met here
yesterday and nominated a full ticket of
five judges of the supreme court. Ninety-
five out of ninety-six counties in the state
were reprerented by over 700 delegates,the
basis of representation being one vote for
each 200 cast for Blaine. The candidates
nominated were W. U. Baxter, Samuel
Watson, J. A. Warder, W. W. Murray and
W. M. Randolph.

Albany, N. Y., June 16.—The governor
has signed the act promoted by Erastus
Lyman and others amending the law re
garding imprisonment for debt. Hereafter
six months is to be the limit of imprison-
! merit on arrests in civil actions,and the op
eration of the law releases within five days
I all prisoners in Ludlow street jail, New

I carcerated beyond six months.
Till* President's Salary.
Baltimore American.
A great deal of talk has been occasioned
by the mention of the fact that the presi
dent always used new money. Some peo
ple laughed at the idea that he handed a
crisp new $10U bill to Dr. Sunderland for
his marriage fee, ami again, that he put a
I crisp new $5 bill in the collection plate at
the Oakland church. People said, “ Why,
the president must have money made es-
' pecially for him.” The truth is, the presi
dent always receives new notes direct from
the treasury. He never gets old notes, ex-
I cept in change when be pays a bill or
makes a purchase. The United States
treasurer, on the last day of each
1 month, sends the president his salary—
$4,166.66—the odd change in bright new
silver and copper cents, and the notes all
new and of the latest issue. Mr. Cleve
land, like bis predecessors, keeps a private
bank account with Riggs & Co., and the
day after he gets ids salary he makes a de-
! posit, reserving enough to pay current ex
penses. It is said that his account has
shown as large a balance as $35,000, as he
has an income besides his official salary.
Before he entered public life, he . made
! from $10,000 to $15,000 a year by his prac
tice, and his expenses were not more than
$2500. He has saved much of liis first
year’s salary, but now that lie is married
his expenses will increase.

saws had a show in that hardware house.

| Dedham, Mass., June 14.— Since last |
| January a young man named Lyons has
i been kept in solitary confinement in the :
county jail at this place awaiting trial on
the charge of murder. In the same insti
tution, though allowed greater liberty, is a
young fellow named Kirby, upon whose \
testimony Lyons was arrested and charged
with the crime. The murder was one of i
the most brutal that has ever been recorded
in Massachusetts. Last Christmas an old
lady living alone in Foxboro was chopped
to pieces ill or.der to get at an old pocket
under her dress supposed to contain $16.
| Suspicion at once rested upon a young
woman who worked for her. Soon alter
| the murder Kirby told the police that j
Lyons had confessed the deed to him.
' It, now turns out that he thought it would
1 ho a good joke to scare his friend Lyons a
I little. He manufactured the yarn, but lie
told such a straightforward story at the
1 preliminary bearing that Lyons was at ■
i once held for the grand jury. Kirbv says
I he wanted to tell the truth when tie ap
i peared before the grand jury, hut tic be-
| came frightened, and did not dare to do it.
Then lie became so excited that he did not
I know what he did say. This story is told
by a prisoner who was discharged from thi
jail this morning. Tilts man says Kirby j
has suffered a great deal since he lias been
in jail. Kirby told him thut if he really ■
thought anything would happen to Lyons
he would shoot himself. The police have
no evidence against Lyons except that fur- ,
nished by Kirby. Under those clrcum- !
stances no will doubtless be released at .
once.

AN END TO THE EXCISE BILL.
(tintruer Hill Vetoes the Measure by Which Mr.
Xooiiey Was to Appoint a Men Hoard.
Albany, June 14.—Governor Hill has
vetoed the notorious Nooney excise bill. It
was, with the exception of the bill increas
ing the commissioners and the expense Of
the new aqueduct work, the worst product
of this year’s legislature. For weeks the
lobbies in the new capitol were, besieged
by the scum politicians of both
parties front this city, (ill,, working
tooth and nail to secure the passage
of this bill. There never was any attempt
to conceal the fact that the measure was
the result of a deal between, the second-
class republicans and the subordinates in
Tammany and Irving halls, concocted by
republicans who hoped to contifiue and in
crease John J. O’Brien’s power tiy playing
upon that antipathy to Mayor Grace,
which had already gone to such lengths in
Albany as to gain sympathy Tor him in
quarters where iiad previously been with
out friends.
The mayor had appointed anew board,
and the oid board had begun its light to
continue in place. John J. O’Brien was
credited with getting the magic of a re
publican vote on occasions from a district
naturally democratic by means of his influ
ence with the old excise board, and it was
understood In Albany a month ago that
not only was he anxious for more power
with the board that President Nooney was
to appoint under the new law, but that if
the bill did not pass and Mayor Grace’s
new board should triumph over the old
one. John J. O’Brien would be apt to cut
a much smaller figure in politics than ever
before.
In partial confirmation of this, O’Brien
was daily seen in the lobbies buttonholing
the senators and assemblymen, and weii
backed up by the constant presence of
Sheridan Shook, Robert G. McCord, Jacob
Patterson and others. It was understood
that the new board was already selected,
whether by O’Brien or Nooney was not j
stated, and thut Nicholas Huughtofl’s
name was to lead the rest.
But it does not matter now. If O’Brien’s
future depended on the bill it is a very dim
and unpleasant one to-day, for the governor
sees neither reason nor rhyme iu the bill.
He says, in his veto message, that the gov
ernor should not interfere to settle legiil
disputes between claimants to public of
fice. “I am clearly of the opinion,” he
says, “that under the provisions of chapter
43 of the laws of 1884, the mayor had the
right to appoint excise commissioners with
out confirmation. That board should not be
displaced merely because the old board
chooses to dispute this view and because
the old commissioners insist upon acting
after their terms have expired.” He says
the bill appears to be a temporary expe
dient, cunningly devised, to deprive the
present mayor of his prerogative, and it
recognizes the propriety of such power
being lodged in the chief executive of the
city, by providing that he shall fill all
vacancies In the very board appointed by j
the president of the aldermen, and that
future mayors shall make all future ap
pointments.

| A young lady in Kentucky was aceompa-
. nied to the theatre by her brother. When
! the curtain fell lie stepped out to see a man
