LouihVILLe, Ky., October24.—The Times
' publishes un interesting column concern
ing the northwestern conspiracy and the
attempt of the confederate government to
release southern prisoners in the north.
The article says:
IMPORTANT CONFEDERATE PAPERS.
The most sensational publication of se
cret war history ever made in this country
Is about to be made after exhaustive effort
In Louisville. Since the death of Jacob
Thompson renewed interest has been felt
as to the disposition to be made of his
papers relating to the attempt of the con
federate government to release southern
prisoners eonlined in the north, to arm
and organize them and by the co-opera
tion of those thoroughly dissatisfied with
Mr. Lincoln’s administration through the
slates of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois create
a diversion which would relieve the press
ure upon the army at the front. These
papers and many others relating to the
movement are in the hands of ex-Chief
Justice Hines, of Kentucky v who was in
charge of all active operations. Major
John B. Castleton, of this city, was the
principal aid to Judge Hines, and these
two gentlemen have fo v some time been
considering the advisability of giving to
the public full information of what is now
generally known as the “Northwestern
conspiracy.” These papers will be sup
plemented by valuable public documents,
and the announcement is made that the
.Southern Bivouac will begin the publica
tion of all of these documents in the De
cember issus of that magazine.
The importance of the movement has
never yet been fully understood, nor have
the jiapers of the north comprehended the
relations that existed between the com
missioners and the various copperhead
organizations of the northwest, the princi
pal one of which was the “Sons of
Liberty.” The origin of this movement is
traced to the raid of Morgan through Ohio.
Though this brilliant cavalry leader was
finally captured and imprisoned, with the
chief officers, the raid itself developed the
fact there was throughout the northwest
great dissatisfaction with the government
at Washington and this led the confederate
leaders to fake advantage of the disturbed
situation and if possible secure the co-opera
tion of these dissatisfied classes. The pur
pose was still further strengthened by
the successful efforts made by Gen. Morgan,
Judge Hines and others to escape from
the Ohio penitentiary. After this event
Captain Hines wasibrdered to Richmond.
There he conferred with President Davis
as to the best means of availing themselves
of the situation in the north, and it was
finally decided to make an organized at
tempt to release the prisoners onliiied
throughout the northwest. The federal
government had already reached the de
termination to refuse the exchange of
prisoners, and a movement for their re
lease was absolutely necessary in order to
recruit the exhausted armies of the south.
The first purpose, therefore, was to secure
the release of imprisoned soldiers, and the
commissioners appointed with . ;,.i in
view were Jacob Thompson and O. U.
Clay, with headquarters in Canada.
SECRET ORGANIZATIONS.
The active operations were in charge of
Judge Thomas H. Hinds, with John B.
Castlemau as the' chief adviser. These
gentlemen, on pursuing their plans of op
erations, decided that the effect of the
movement could be greatly heightened by
bringing into active service the “Sons of
Liberty” and all other dissatisfied classes
in the north, and this was determined
upon. They succeeded in largely identify
ing these associations with their organiza
tion, and it is said that documents will be
presented clearly defining these relations,
sustained by prominent peace men, anti-
Linoolnites and others throughout Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois to this gigantic con
spiracy. The documents will not relate to
mere hearsay, but will be the official
papers passing between the leaders of both
sections of this interior army.
In addition to the value these papers
will have as a contribution to the secret
military history of the war, they will
throw a new light on the political situto-
tion in the north. Among much curious
information these documents will furnish
is the fact that even Mr. Stanton was at
one time so despondent as to the success
of the war that he expressed serious appre
hensions as to the personal safety of the
president and his official associates, arising
from his knowledge of the bitter and wide
spread dissatisfaction throughout the
north. The extent of the opposition to
the government at Washington aroused
among all classes, among active politicians
and quiet citizens, has never been so weil
shown as in th,ese papers, and they may
have peculiar and personal interest for a
number of prominent politicians.
Some of tho confederates engaged in the
enterprise were arrested, tried and exe
cuted; others were arrested but escaped
for want of evidence. Twice was the day
set for a general uprising and twice was it
postponed. The utmost secrecy was nec
essary, and it was wonderfully preserved.
Even at Washington very few papers exist
bearing on the episode of the war, and the
authorities there, though they were able
Anally tb thwart it, never understood its
extent or the magnitude of the forces ar
rayed in it.
A POLITICAL SENSATION.
“The story of the northwestern conspir
acy,” said General Basil Dube, one of the
most dashing leaders of the confederate
army, “will Be the greatest historical and
political sensation since the close or the
war. It is needless to say there are thou
sands of men in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois
who will be deeply affected politically by
the revelations, and some of the sugges
tions made in political contests equal the
facts shown.”
“There is no political purpose involved
in the publication ?”
“Of course not. The wonderful interest
that has developed in the secret and offi
cial history of the war has simply iorced
out everything connected with the strug
gle, and the northwest conspiracy comes
with the rest as being, next to t ; ie decla
ration of war itself, the most important
and thrilling episode of national history
during the past twenty-six years. The
story involves the scheme to capture the
only gunboats on the lakes, attack Chica-
■o, release the confederate prisoners at
Jamp Chase, the attack of St. Louis and
the general uprising of the northwestern
copperheads. For this purpose all the pa
pers of Jacob Thompson, Jefferson Davis’
letters of introduction and a va t amount
of correspondence is in our ] ossossion.
The connection of VaUandigham with the
conspiracy will be shown, and there will
be other facts demonstrated that will be of
extreme national importance and interest.
It has been a labor of years to get all these
and the results are worth the effort.”
It will be remembered that Major Castle-
man was arrested while up north, was
thrown into prison, and was awaiting
trial and sentence when peace was de
clared. The mission of the major and his
associates has never been properly under
stood up north, nor even generally in the
south, many people thinking that their
object was in violation of the articles of
war, when in reality they were under com
mission from President Davis, and were
supplied with funds by the confederate
government. The headquarters were fixed
in Canada, and in executing their mission
Major Custleman and his associates en
countered the most remarkable adventures.
Judgfe Hines bad some sensatinnal esca
pades, oneb being compelled to cross the
Potomac alone nt night on the ice.
All these incidents are given in full and
make up some most Interesting stories.
Among others one chapter is to be devoted
to St. Leger Grenthal, an ex-British of
ficer, who took part in the groat scheme.
He was arrested in New.York and banish
ed to the Dry Tortugas, where he ended
his life by suicide. He was a typical sol
dier of fortune,

P “”0 persons have a great liking for the
large, lu.u.o • ,ing table on account of its
sociable charaefor, but it is not so easily
docorated as tables of otiier shapes. Quite
a novel effect, however, was produced not
long ugo on one of these tables. The can
dles, shades and tint of the room were
made as pink ns possible. At each lady’s
place a basket of fern grass, gracefully
formed to fall from the sides, was tilled
with pink rosebuds and a sprinkling of
maiden-hair ferns. These baskets were
attached to the lower ring of a gns shade,
such as lias been above described, by
means of uink satin ribbons two inches
wide, which were tied to the handles of
the buskets and hooked to the ring of the
shade.—Cosmopolitan.

’ Hamilton, Ga., October 25.—The court
has come and gone and left us enjoying the
monotony of quietude again. The incess
ant coming and going of vehicles for two
weeks have made the roads and streets
like ash banks and the dust is almost un
bearable, but we have to stand it, there is
no remedy.
The guards are expected to-day to carry
away the parties who encroached on their
neighbors^ rights and who were forced to
stand before his Honor, Judge Willis.
Thomas Nunnerlee, charged with asiault
with intent to murder, goes for six years.
\V T asliing on Commodore, for stealing a
mule, gives seven years’ labor to the public
works.
Jim White, stealing cotton, twelve
months on ohaingang.
Anderson Bruce, concealed weapon,
twelve months.
Anthony Murphy, assault and battery,
twelve months.
There were quite a number convicted of
minor offenses, who paid their fines. To
the transgressor his ways are hard.
The cotton crop is still coming in rapid
ly. There seems to be no end to its
coming, and still the cry is short crop and
low prices. The corn market here is not
glutted with the new crop, but can be had
for GO cents per bushel.
The Methodist Episcopal church here
hit upon a novel as well as an efficient
method of raising contributions for mis
sions. A number of little girls brought to
the altar on yesterday earthen eggs, con
taining proceeds of their efforts. Tho
preacher broke them one at a time until
the neat sum of $12.15 was counted out.
Miss Fannie Kimbrough’s egg enclosed
$4.05, Cordie Brooks’ $1.50, Fannie Cowset’s
$1.90, and Company A’s contained $4.70.
This does remarkably well, when it is con
sidered that none of these little girls are
over nine years old.
The grand jury of Harris county in their
general presentments give a hearty en
dorsement of the candidacy of Mr. ft. C.
Cameron for the position of solicitor-gen
eral, and in doing so not only gave expres
sion to their own opinion, but the opinion
and wish of every citizen in our county.
He was reared in Harris and is best known
among her citizens; and the unanimous
opinion here is that for ability as a lawyer
he is the* peer of any member that attends
our bar; far integrity, no man is his supe
rior; and for fidelity to his clients, naught
can be said against him; and should the
high trust of the state’s interest be be
stowed upon him by the general assembly,
he will prove himself worthy of the office
and will guard with argus eyes her every
right and interest.
Quite a number of our citizens had busi
ness in Columbus on Saturday and. strange
to say, that none of them could finish up
so ns to leave on the evening train. Some
suggest that Doris’ show delayed them.
The newest way that a Georgian beats
the conductor out of a ride is to sleep
through the trip. Some say that the con
ductor failed to raise a young man the
other night.
A certain gentleman in our little city
made a rise during court and determined
to have some of the conveniences of life.
His first step was to invest in a horse. Ah.
he walked with a proud step a.id invited
his friends around to inspect his animal.
Various were the comments. Some asked if
the owner would tie the horse’s tail to the
dashboard, another suggested running the
horse’s head in a meal sack, but a third
offered the best—to tie a knot in the ani
mal’s tail to keep him from running
through the collar. The only real danger
that the writer could see was that if the
horse forgot and struck a trot that one
wheel might drop in a gully and knock
the horse down. The horse is rather thin.
We learned on yesterday that Captain
Andrews, near Whitesville, lost his gin
house on Friday night, with about twenty
bales of cotton. We were unable to learn
whether he carried any insurance or not.

Tolu* .Jackson's Case.
CARTERSville, October 23.—Tobe Jack-
son, the celebrated convict of dynamite
fame, is now in our jail. He was brought
down from Cole City yesterday for trial in
the Puckett-Strickland shooting case,
which is set for next Monday.
Tobe still insists that he is suffering for
another’s offense, and denies having any
thing to do directly with the blowing up
of Judge Collin’s house.
James Baird, particeps erhninis, now
. confesses the crime and exonerates Tobe
j and Sam for any complicity. He says he
was hired to do f he job, and would have
so testified at the last term of court, but
that his employer told him that if he ever
mentioned his name he would kill him on
sight, lie proposes to expose the whole
case, and some prominent citizens will be
connected with this horrible affair yet.
Baird is an ignorant, half-witted follow,
and not a great deal of credence will be
placed on any of his statements.
Sam, Tobe’s brother, is also here, and is
to be tried for the same offense. Tobe was
convicted at the last term.
It is said by some of tho family that
Tobe’s brother has secured the services of
Hoke Smith, of Atlanta, and that Tobe
will get a new trial.
No Shako Yesterday.

“I don’t sec any use in church choirs,

“I don’t know that I do—yes, I do, too.
They are very useful.”
“In what way?”

ing.”—Merchant Traveler.

MRS. CLEVELAND S FRIENDS.
Tho iubhicf Lnitti'H wffli Whom She in on Most
Intimate Term*.
Washington, October 23.—As the win
ter season is near about to open there is
considerable talk about Mrs. Cleveland's
preferences among the ladies of the cabi
net. It is generally conceded that Mrs.Man-
| ning will lie the prime favorite at the
j white house. Mrs. Cleveland had never
mot the with of the secretary of t he treas
ury until her wedding day. While tne
1 ot her Indies of the cabinet uttered formal
■ wishes to the young bride
• after the ceremony in the Blue room,
Mrs. Manning kissed her warmly and with
| tears in her eyes wished the new mistress
of the whito house as much happiness as
| she herself hud enjoyed since her mar-
1 riage. From that l imo it is said that Mrs.
j Cleveland had a warm place in her heart
i for Mrs. Manning, and their friendship has
grown stronger every day since. Mrs.
j Manning is at the white house more fre-
l quently than any other society lady in
Washington. Mrs. Cleveland consults her
on points of capital etiquette, and will, no
doubt, be, in a measure, her protege until
she becomes thoroughly familiar with
requirements here; and, indeed, there
is not a lady in Washington better
fitted to coach the inexperienced than
Mrs. Manning. Although she has passed
but one season at the capital, her social
tact is so great that she fell into the new
ways at once, and, by the end oflast win
ter, could bold her own with the veterans.
The friendship of the two ladies is due in
great part to the similarity of their ideas
and tastes. Both are you-'g, fond of social
life, love music, fiowers and the bright
things in this world and have not yet
tasted the bitterness of surfeit. The close
personal friendship of their husbands is
another bond that binds them together. It
is hinted that the other cabinet ladies are
just a little bit jealous of Mrs. Manning’s
success at the white house.
Mrs. Whitney, while not so intimate
with the mistress of the white house, is on
excellent terms with her as she is with
everybody else. She is a great admirer of
Mrs.'Cleveland’s beauty, and often speaks
of her as the handsomest woman in Wash
ington. This will appear peculiarly disin
terested when it is remembered that. Mrs.
Whitney herself is a pretty woman.
Mrs Vilas seldom calls at the white
house, and there does not seem to be much
love lost between her and Mrs. Oh volaud.
The two ladies are so opposite in character
that they could never bpoomc friends.
Whfle Mrs. Cleveland is bright, hap
py and impulsive, Mrs. Vilas is a
cold, polished woman of the world—
one who seems to have studied
out life philosophically mid concluded that
there is an immense quantity of sham in
it. Mrs. Vilas’s fifteen-year-old daughter
Mollie, is a prime favorite at the white
house. However, she is a lovely, golden
haired little creature—one of those caress
ing, kittenish children whom it is i ^pos
sible to resist. Miss Mollie is sometimes
seen with Mrs. Cleveland in their drives,
and it is hard to decide which is the pret
tier. The young girl, by the way, will
make a partial debut this winter as assist
ant at her mother’s receptions, and no one
doubts that she will play terrible havoc
with the hearts of Washington’s gilded
youth, even though she be so young.
Pretty Miss Jennie Lamar,only daughter
of the secretary of the interior, has also
found favor with the warm-hearted mis
tress of the white house. Miss Lamar is
one of those dark, passi jnate-looking girls
such as are seen in Spanish pictures. She
has been hero only a short time, is mother
less and unacquainted, and Mrs. Cleveland
has been very kind to her. One remarka
ble thing is that there are no bickerings
among the wives and daughters of
the cabinet officers, and no
quarrels about precedence. It was not so
when Miss Cleveland presided at the white
house. Then the cabinet ladies felt that
they had a leader whose title was Ques
tionable, and each felt that she herself had
a better claim to the name of “first lady in
the land.” Now, however, they have an
acknowledged leader, young, beautiful and
brilliant, and they are united in their de
termination to make the administration
the most successful socially that Washing
ton has seen in many years.
FOR WOMAN S ADVANCEMENT.
Minding of Jullu Want Hone's National Asso
ciation.
Louibuille, Ky., October 20.—The four
teenth annual session of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Women
began with a private meeting of the offi
cers in this city at 9 o’clock this morning.
It was devoted to the reading of the an
nual reports of the secretary and treasurer,
auditors and of the chairman of the stand
ing committees. After the report of the
committee on state organization by Mrs.
Mary C. Peckham and tho transacting of
some business of minor importance the
meeting adjourned until 2:30 o’clock,wlien
the first public session was held. Mrs.
Julia Ward Ilowe occupied about fifteen
minutes in reading her annual address,
which dealt with the affairs of the associa
tion in a very general way. She was fol
lowed by Mrs. Emma Haddock, of Iowa,
who read an exhaustive paper on “Women
as Landholders in the West.” Mrs. Had-
dock could only approximate the number
of farms owned and cultivated by
women owing to the absence
of statistics. She estimated that
1000 of the 200,000 farms in
Iowa were owned and cultivated by
women. Women were investing largely
in California real estate, partly for use,
and partly, though in a limited degree, for
speculative purposes. Jn Oregon the farms
owned and operated by women were so
common as not to excite comment. Many
women worked on farms they did not own,
especially the German women. The pass
age of new laws giving women addit ional
property-holding rights had aided them
greatly in their acquiring lands, so that
their numbers were rapidly increasing.
Miss Ellen M. Folsom, of Massachusetts,
sent a paper on “The Association of Col
legiate Allunina;.” Tho paper dealt with
the work of organizing an association of
college graduates begun in Boston five
years ago. A great number of clubs had
been organized since this humble begin
ning and the organization now numbered
thousands.
At the evening session Dr. Anna D.
French, of New York, read a pirper on
“Education in Industrial Art,” and Mrs.
Mary C. Peckham, of Rhode Island, fol
lowed with an essay on the growth of re
ligious feeling in her state since the time
of Roger Williams.

tho president weighed a hundred more

innumerable escapades, in which one is

A prominent business man in Wilming
ton, l)cl., in speaking of a cure of cancer
on himself, writes to the Morning News of
that city:
I can say further that my ease is not an
isolated one. A lady, a customer of mine,
was suffering from a cancerous affection of
the nose. She had spent a great deal of
money and time running to Philadelphia
to consult the best physicians there, but
could get but little or no relief. About a
year ago I told her of my ease, and in
duced her to t ry the H. *S. 8. remedy. She
I did so, and in a ,cw weeks was much bet
ter. She had several operations perform
ed, and was disposed to hold on to h jr old
treatment as well as the now, but finally she
threw all aside but the S. 8. S., and in two
months from that time was thoroughly
cured.
Another lady suffering from an abscess
on her arm had been doctoring for a long
time in ill is city, Chester ami Philadelphia,
hut could not get any relief, apparently.
She had fallen away to a mere shadow of
her former self, ana could scarcely eat or
sleep. She commenced to take the S. 8.
S. medicine, upon the advice of friends
and myself, but was so j educed in flesh
that siio had . little stomach troubl • at
first. She persisted, however, and after
the third bo; tie she declared it had done
her more good than anything else she had
ever tried. I now undersiund that she is
entirely well, and is loud in her praise of
S. S. S.
I have several other cases in mind, but
am not at liberty to speak of them. I be
lieve the Swift Specific Co.’s blood medi
cine, known ns S. S. S., is superior to any
thing of the kind known in the market,
and can cheerfully recommend it to any
one suffering from diseases of the skin or

COTTON FACTS.
Visible Supply—Receipts at 1'ortn—Weallier, Kfr.
The New York Financial Chronicle of Octo
ber 23 makes the total visible supply of cotton
1,685,551 billes, a decrease as compared with hist
year of 10,532, an increase as compared with 1.884
ofj 88.305, and a decrease as com mired with 1883
of 430,858.
For tho week ending October 22 the receipts
at the United States ports reached 206,818 bales,
making the total since September 1, 1,085,318
bales, showing a decrease of 35,112.
The twenty-six interior towns for the week end
ing October 22 received 178,757 bales, shipped
137,088 and hud stocks of 185,522 bales. .Same tune
last year they received 178,737, shipped 136,687 and
had stocks of 161,182.
The above totals show that the old interior
slocks have increased during the week 38,961
bales and are to-night20,514 b iles more than at
the same period Iasi year. The receipts at tli
Green A Co., in t heir report on cotton futures,
say: After an active and feverish day the mar
ket closed at a further considerable shrinkage in
I value. I'iie first turn was upward, with a few
points gained on a covering and partial invest
ing demand, but buyers wee all local and soon
as they stopped the outlet was found to be en
tirely exhausted. Wavering soon developed,
then anxiety and finally under general unload
ing prices went off sharply 12< i*13 points from the
highest, closing tamely al about the lowest. The
fanure of Liverpool to respond to the early ad
vance here had a discouraginlf effect.

A Fac-fdraife Who Attracted Atteutlon at the Reg
ular Monihi} Reception.
Washington Special to the Baltimore American.
As the usliera began to gather the crowd
together in a semi-circle in the east room,
awaiting the president’s entrance for his
regular Monday reception, they gave a lit
tle start when they looked toward the
south window, for, leaning against the pil
lar near the green room door, was the fac
simile of the president. At first the ushers
thought the president had come into the
room before them, but a second glance
showed their mistake, for beside the Jiving
picture of President Cleveland
stood a lady and little baby
boy about two years old. The
ushers turned to a number of newspaper
men who were standing by and laughed at
the mistake. Soon tho president came in
and took his place, but the man that
looked like him still leaned against the
pillar and gave every one a chance to com
pare tho two men and thus see the re
ithan tho
| same week hot year, and since September l the
' receipts at ail the towns are 12,766 bales more
; than for the same time in 1885.
j The exports for the week ending this evening
! reach a total of 147,722 hales, of which 87.858wcrc
' to Great Britain, 11,351 to France and 48,510 to
i the rest of the continent.
j The Chronicle comments on its table of re
ceipts from plantations as follows :
The above statement shows—1. That tho total
1 receipts from plantations since September 1, 1386,
aie 1,222,779 bales; in 1885 were 1,265,762 bales; in
1884 were 1,270,656 bales.
j 2.—That, although the receipts at the out ports
! the past week were 266,818 bales, the actual move-
| ment from plantations was 308,487 bales, the bal-
| ance going to increase the stocks at the interior
i towns. Last year the receipts from the planta-
I tions for the same week were 303,754 bales and for
: 1884 they were 321,969 bales.
In the table below we give the receipts from
plantations in another form, and add to them
the net overland movement to October 1, and
also the takings by southern spinners to the
same date, so as to give substantially the amount
of cotton now in siglit.
