DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26, 18R6. o Secret History Relating to the Attempted Release of Southern Prisoners. 4, Son« of Mborty”—Charge* of {front lion with ttic Federal (loTeniincnt—A (ircal I’olllleal mill lllatorlcal Si'iisntion. 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, ,t» l’rrtly IIlinin' Table. 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. HAPPENINGS IN HARRIS. An Interesting Collection of lionorul Sows and Personal Soles. s Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. ’ 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. m Jay. 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.

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. THE PRESIDENT’S DOUBLE. semblance. The only difference was that tho president weighed a hundred more pounds than his double. At last, tho presi dent's fac-simile gathered up his little boy in his arm and called his wife, and got in liue, and in duo time reached the presi dent. Every one who has seen Robson and Crane play the “Two Drotnios” has laughed heartily when the two meet face to face for the first time and see the re semblance between each other. Or again, a great many people have seen that nonsensical farce, the “Two Johns” -and perhaps the president and his fac-simile to-day are hotter described in size by this contrast. Those two met after innumerable escapades, in which one is taken fin* the other. They, too, are sur prised when they meet face to face. When the president’s double came up to shake hands with him to-day, every one expected to see the same scenes enacted in the white house, but they were disappointed* The president looked at the gentleman, smiled a little perhaps at the likeness -patter! the fat baby on the cheek, shook hands with the wife, and the crowd passed on. There was a disappointed party who had waited to see what the president would do when he saw the man that looked like him. Hoars tVPIi Her Kllmu*. Probably. The Bradford Era speaks of a woman who fell and “nearly severed her ears from her body.” A woman who wears her ears on her body ought to be able to command a good salary in a dime museum.—Detroit Free Press. Superior to Anytlilnar. 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.

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 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.

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.
