Dawes was stumped, but feebly chirruped no. Mr. Eldridgo spoke up. and said he hated tbe word loyal, as It had been prostituted. It brought up the defi nition of the army contractor, who felt loyal when he wanted to steal something. Eldridgo further saM: For himself, he was patriotic, not loyal; the word did not belong to the country; It only belonged to Massachusetts. — Tennessee.

In closnig a lecture recently made before the Democratic Association of Philadelphia, Mr. John Campbell, the somewhat noted Bookseller and Labor Reformer in that city, nttered the following sentences: How shall the Democracy poll, on next Presidential election day, a majority of this vote? How shall we bridge tbe chasm that separates the negro vote from us? There is only one architect that can bnild this bridge—tbero is only one rain who can poll this vote—ar.d that man is Salmon P. Chase! With this the lecture was concluded amidst great applause. ATLANTA, GEOEGIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1870. INUMBER 53 STOBIES OF Two of Them Never Print. 1312. Before In An Amendment to tbe Georgia BUI. Mr. Drake has offered the following ad ditional amendment to the Georgia Bill in the Senate: Mr. Drake offered an amendment, pro viding that whenever any Legislature of the late rebel States, or tho Governor thereof, represent to the President that an organization exists therein for the prepet- nation of acta of violence against persons and property, or to obstruct the lawsofthc Federal or State Government, and it is unable to suppress such violence or de struction, it shall be the daty of tbe President to famish United States troops for the subjugation and disposition of such organizations. Upon the arrival of snch troops in the district in which these organizations exist, martial law shall be declared, a levy made upon the inhabitants to pay expenses of transportation of each troops, and they shall be subsisted upon the inhabitants. _ Women in Washington as Clerks. _ Tho New York World has a long and in teresting account of the growth and condi tion of government female clerks in Wash ington. It says the employment of women is of Topsical origin—it just “growed.” It began, nobody knows exactly how, and haa increased until nearly every department has its quota of petticoat workers. Among them arc many who have ruled society, and reveled in riches. The writer mentions some celebrities: Mrs. Pettigru King is so .well known that I suppose it is no breach of trust to mention her name as connected with this office. She is a woman of Temarkablo tal ents and ability. Her father was Governor of South Carolina, and formerly a member of the United States Senate. General Spinner speaks of having sever al historical ladies among hia clerks. Mrs. Annie Ethridge and Miss Carrie Sheado, who have received honorable mention in Woman’s Work in tho War,” are clerks in this bureau. The Young Quaker, who sent General Sheridan information which led to the battle and victory of the Opequan, on September 19,1864, is also here. I saw a copy of the very polite letter General Shor- idan wrote her, acknowledging the value of her services and asking her to accept from him a watch, in remembrance of September 19,1861. This watch she now wear3. Tho Brunswick and Albany Bail- road Matter. It Is a very difficult thing to arrive at tho truth of complicated transactions. Tbe human mind is so much the slave of Its prejudices, that even if the truth is percep tible, It Is seen through smoked glasses. And the fact that men see from different stand-points, even where they have op portunities to see clearly, produces con flicting accounts of the same thing. It la our object always to be accurate, and do justice. And while wo have our Impulses of righteous Indignation we ever strive to judge calmly, end to decide im partially. The Brunswick and Albany Kallroad af fair is being used to our injury in Wash ington. It Is a most untimely occurrence, ■and Bullock Is wielding it with tremen- ous effect to secure his personal ends. We have been trying to sift the matter to the bottom, nnd while our conclusions may not bo correct, yet wo havo certainly good grounds for them. It seems that when Col. Hulhert was ap pointed Superintendent of the road, he onsted a man named F. A. Babcock, who had been enjoying a good thing of it. Hul- bert was put In through Wra. L. Avery’s Influence. To securo the completion of the 50 miles by the 18th, in order to get further State aid, a man of great energy, like Hulbert, was needed; and it seems be has been pushing the affair, without spar ing hands. Without entering into the mer its of the matter, which we shall do here after, it seems that Babcock, who is a Rad ical, has been intriguing to get Halbert out, and himself in. And Babcock has worked on the hands and dissatisfied them: It Is claimed that the hands have not been paid off. Bot there is evidence that they have been paid tbe 15th of every month. The thing then simply resolves itself into a personal squabble for a good fat job among certain subordinates, without a par ticle of politics in it. 01 course, Babcock has put up his squad to yelling “Eadl&il,” against Avery and Hulbert; but from all wc can learn the political cry was confined to these malcontents, and did not include the citizens of Brunswick. So it falls to the ground a3 a political matter. It Is one of those troubles that oc cur all over the country. Tho Erie Rail road In New York ba3 had dozens of them. Undoubtedly Babcock’s champions have used the slogan of “ damned Republicans,” but they alone are responsible for it, and not the people. Now. the question Is, how far Mr. Conant and Judge Avery have believed that these malcontents represented tho people. They have either Ignorantly and precipitately taken counsel of their fears, and done ac tions Injury to the State by misunderstand ing the matter, and ascribed to popular Industrial School for Ladies. Editor Constitution: Deeply impressed with the necessity or opening more ave nues of respectable and remunerative la bor to our sex, we earnestly invite an im mediate consideration to all thinking minds, especially we urge It upon the clergy, and teachers, whose duty it is to present the importance of the matter in its proper light. There are those who have It in their power to aid us, and while doing so, might help themselves pecuniarily, and at the same time earn the enviable reputa tion of being the first to perform the noble work of using their influence to widen the sphere of usefulness and honorable labor to tbe mothers and daughters of the South. There are ways In which the field of wo* man’s energies might be greatly enlarged, places she might fill where she would be required merely to perform womanly work. We would not have our sex push forward to compete with men for those positions and occupations alone suited for man. but there are indoor placea which all allow, may be filled by a lady without departing ono iota from the true standard of a modest, dignified woman; the men now occupying places which worthy women, who are now asking and mnch needing employment, could fill, would certainly not murmnr if forced to seek other and perhaps rougher, though not less manly employment in the broad fields of enterprise, always and everywhere open to them. In giving the preference to the ladies they will simply make practical that beautiful, sentimental Idea of chivalry, with which we always loved to invest our beau Ideal of the oppo site sex. We propose tbe opening of an Industrial School for the education of girls, where they will have the opportunity of receiving a thorough, systematic, practical training in the domestic, as well as In the depart ments of Industry and Fine Arts which mav be taught. Wo would like to hear the views of those Interested In the above proposition. Atlanta, March 15,1870. S- B. OPB PARIS LETTER.

Special FoT.Cer.of Tho Constitution.! Pams, Feb. 26,1870. Editor Constitution: France prides her self on having no Poor Laws, but she has her poor always with her, to whom relief Is carried by tne usual apostles of charity— the cicrgy and tha sisters, as well as by vol unteer relieving officers. There aro in Paris several nospices where the aged poor are succored. Tho funds for tbe maintenance of these establishments are raised by tax ing, with ten per cent., the receipts of the theatres, and other places of amusement in proportion. Managers have for years re belled against the nightly carrying off of this tenth part of what they possessed, and have “ struck "—decline to pay the poors’ rate any longer, and double lock tbeircasb boxes. It was the First Napoleon who de creed the tax—formerly, the clergy collect ed the rates from tbe artistes, while damn ing them at the same time. The tax after all, came outof the pockets ofthe public. It has never prevented any ono from going to a theatre, nor has it been the cause of man agers’ bankruptcy—tho most common of all “ spectacles.” A Prince and Princess—and Paris is fnll of them—very wealthy—a trait less com mon—and both young, were married four months ago. When tho husband returned from bis club, after dropping a considera ble amount of money at baccarat, when pain and anguish wrung tho brow, his wife proved a ministering angel by shying lamps, lustres, and such nick-nacks at his head. His Highness has applied for a sep aration, and his ladyo fair warmly supports it. The most miserable class of men in France, and above all, in Paris, are the apothecaries. Not that sharp misery has worn them to the bones, or that their shops contain hut a beggarly account of empty boxes. There Is a memento mori expression In their features perpetually, contrasting sadly and strangely with the gay and hila- rons nubile. Even dnrlng revolutionary times, when their shops aro permitted to remain open all night, they aro as melan choly as mutes. Yet this grave class is also about adopting the “order of the day a strike. It appears that the law only allows apothecaries of the “first class ” to have their abiding city in Paris; tho holders of secend class licenses must keep outside the walls—what some of them have not done, but pitched their tents iu- side—hino illal lacrima. The misery of Paris Is represented by 101,670 individuals, of whom 40,000 are heads of families—the population of the city being under two millions. The aver age rate of public assistance given to this number of poor, Is one centime per day— the tenth part of a farthing, the five bun dredtb part of a dollar. Among tbe list of this crowd of wretch edness figure 4 apothecaries, 10 literateurs, 1 doctor, 1 dancing master, and 10 profess ors of languages, 227 scavengers, 2 “sprin klers of Holy water," whom the Church ought to pension, and 191 persons who have never had any occupation—a fact that loafers ought to digest. So mOch for the male sex. Among tbe women, 1.77S milliners, etc., 1,137 needle women, 457 “sugar candy manufacturers,” 10 midwives. 23 governesses, 175 nurses, 108 scavengers—Germany contributes largely her flaxen-haired daughters to sweep Paris—and 221 who never had any porfessions. Bev. Father Hyacinth’s, or rather, Mrs. Laybon’s, new journal-, la ConcoTd, wul be brought out under the most favorable aus pices. His brother, and several other pro fessors of theology, will be among the con tributors, as also the Emperor’s Chaplain. It will be tbe organ or the new Catholic party—tbe Church of the future, whose scat would be lu Gaul, Instead of Rome. BOUBRIETF. THE CATAHOULA VENDETTA. Last Act in tho Tragedy—Fall Par ticulars. A contemporary having given some par ticulars of the Black river vendetta, and tbe escape of the younger Jones, after the mur der of bis father and brother, duty to the public compels us to furnish information, which has been in the office of the Times sinco Saturday, and up to this time, forob- vious reasons, has been suppressed. The gentleman alluded to, a youth of nineteen, reached this city at a late hour. Friday night or early Saturday morning, on board the steamer Mayflower, after one of tbe most extraordinrry escapes that perhaps has even b3en recorded in cither romance or history. Immediately upon his arrival he sought a refuge in the Third District, but shortly afterwards he was removed to another por tion of tbe city, where he ha3 since remain ed under a strong police guard. From those who havo conversed with him freely, we learn the following details of one of the most horrible outrages that- has ever blackened the criminal record ol Louisiana. The story of Sunday evening, February 27tli. has already been partially told. While in the custody of Sheriff Ballard, and in >l.n Mnmmnntf Ml? TT1 il-lll R OIlH ceres of the school Tuc whites and blacks are to have sepa rate schools. Normal schools for educating teachers are recommended. The Constitution sets apart for school purposes the poll tax. commutations of military service, and tho special tax on shows, exhibitions, and the sale of spiritu ous and malt liquors. The poll tax Itself must amount to $200,000, If collected. The other taxes would raise tbe revenue to ♦500,000. Wo assert that the accusations of Judge Avery are unwarranted by any facts. We call upon him to do justice to our people, and to telegraph to his Senator friends that he has made a great mistake, and given a wrong construction to the im proper conduct of the Babcock squad. If he fills to do this, particularly when seeing the use that is being made of his telegram, then there can bo no other conclusion than that he has wilfnlly slandered onr people for political purposes.

If we continue to go on from bad to worse as we have for some time past, Americus will become intolerable—Americus Bepullican. the company of Mr. Elijah B. Cotton and several ladies, the house the three then oc cupied, near Harrisonburg, was completely surrounded by an armed mob. who. knock ing at the door, first demanded to see the sheriff Mr. Ballard, making his appearance, lie was in a manner far from violent, but at the same time with the utmost, firmness, that it was necessary for him and cverj other inmate, excepting tho three Joneses, to at once leave the premises. Upon his making some demurrer, the order was re lented more peremptorily anil in his clos- ng remarks' the leader stated the house would be burned in the course of a few minutes. There seemed no alternative, and all the inmates, except tho three victims, quietly left. The house is a two story bnildiug, with stairs leading from tho rear to the second floor. Col. Jone3 and his sons were on the ground floor, and after tbe departure ofthe other inmates, tbe doors were closely fastened. When the contest commenced, tho three were in a front room. The father standing near a bedstead, raised his wounded left arm on it, and in tbe right band a revolver pointed at the portal. The second son stood Immediately in the rear, with two revolvers pointed in the same direction. Tho third son (the one now in the city) was still fur ther back, armed with one revolver. In the brief parley the young brother had urged tbe unhappy little gnrrison to take a station up-stalrs, but the other two insisted that if tire was used that course would only lead to certain destruction, and that as death was apparently inevitable all had best meet itboldly. The youth, however, did not seem dis posed to give up all hope, and before tbe assault had fairly commenced, he retreated through a rear room, in t he direction of tbe stair case. About the time he had placed his foot on the first step, there came a ter rific banging at the door, apparently with an axe. Hurrying up, he was startled with a crash; the door had fallen, and the horror which followed rivalled the terrors of hell itself. A dozen shots In quick succession, a fiendish yell, the groan of a dying mane and tho tramp of heavy footsteps. Men. liko wild beasts, maddened at the sight of blood, rushed in all directions. The older son, desperately wounded, tottered out to the garden in the rear, only to have the remnant of life shot out of him by a wretch (revolver In band) who stood over him as he lay gasping on tlic ground. The work of carnage was of short dura tion; ten minutes completed the butchery below, and then a rush was made for the upper story for the one more victim, a beardless boy! who remained for their hun gry bullets. To leap to the ground and cer tain death, or present his breast to the now ascending assassins, was the thought of an Instant. While the assailants were yet on the stairs, lie concluded to do neither, and sprang through a front window, and grasp ing a ledge formed under the sill, he swung out and hung suspended—blood below, blood-thirsty enemies above. Howlongbe remained there Is better told by his hands covered with blisters, nnd so bruised and strained that even now they are nearly nse- les3. The room was speedily filled with OUB WASHINGTON LETTER. Bullock Won’t Bet on Success—The House Blows Bubbles of Elo quence—Wliat Congress lias Doue —Coburn is Got--Tbe Atlanta Slander Mill—Personal—Tennes see—Mere Mention. Special Corrcs; ontlcncc of The Constitution] Washington, March 12,1970. Another lull in tho Badical tempest— The Senate adjourned over till Monday— Georgia given a breathing spell—Bullock, Blodgett to Co. on the anxious seat—They profess to be :ure of the rejection of Bing ham’s amendment, hut won’t bet on it— Tbe House amusing itself by blowing soap bubbles of eloquence. Such would be the caption I would pre fix to a Washington telegram of this date were I the night editor of The Constitu tion and some one else the Washington correspondent. But having placed these sentences down, I find that I have exhaust ed myself. The head-lines tell all that there is to he told, and, like the knife-grind er, I have no story to tell. Georgia was to have been disposed of in the Senate t »-Jay, hut the Senatorial in- teilecthad bc^me exhausted over the fund ing bill and Sumner’s financial speeches, and so a recess was taken until Monday, when the Radical blood-hourid3, instigated by Bnllock am’Tutler. will fly at the throat of defenseless tJi'orgia and strangle h.cr if possible. Butt though defenseless, she is not altogether friendless, even in a Radical Senate, and I .hope and trust her friends may yet prevail. WHAT CONGRESS HAS BONE. Not much, you may be sure. Something has been done-this week, however. The Senate has passed the funding bill, without any of Charles Sumner’s impracticable amendments, hut it will vex the house for many a day to come. General Logan’s bill for reducing the army in numbers and in pay, some thirty- three and one-third per cent., went through the House with-a rush that surprised every one. It will meet with Btrong opposition in tho Senate.-;' The Air Lins Railway bill, which pro poses to take from the Slates of tho Union another of their vested rights.has been up several times in the. House, and laid over. A vete upon it will be renched next week. A strong lobby of railroad men will con test its passage, but they are reserving their strength for defeating the bill in the Senate, It is confidently asserted that tbe rail road men and the national banks have vir tually full control of Congress, and can mould legislation as they will. But slow progress is making with the tar iff Bill. At the request of the President, the defi ciency appropriation bill was taken up yesterday, which led to an onslaught upon the administration by Mr. Beck, of Ken tucky, who exposed tho extravagance which existed in every official quarter, and at the same time, took Mr. Dawes to task for the opposite statements he had made in tho House and on the stumpin New Hamp shire. Mr. Cox, of Now York, followed in the same vein. In replying, Mr. Dawc3 quoted from the two speeches referred to to show there was no conflict, and said he was as ready now as ever to search out every error, and bring the Government to strict principles of economy. So closes’the Congressional record of the week. r RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE. When the House does meet on Saturday, there is no business done; there are seldom more than a couple of dozen members pres ent, and the session i3 occupied with read ing prosy and lflng winded speeches on ev ery imaginable subject, except those of practical interest. Yesterday, when a mo tion was made to adjourn over till Monday, Mr. Coburn objected, and said there were many members who wanted to speak, and proposed a session on Saturday as Commit tee of the Whole, for debate only. His mo tion was adopted, and the Speaker said Mr. Coburn would preside as in Committee of the Whole, lie (Mr. C.) having suggested the session for debate. This announce ment caused a general smile. So Mr. Co burn, who wanted to shoot off some pyro- technical eloquence of his own, has had to sit in the Speaker’s chair all the afternoon, and listen to the prosy speeches of his brother members. Tills sort of punishment is likely to cut off buncombe sessions on Saturdays; for ambitious orators will henceforth he cautious how they expose themselves to being pilloried in the Speak er’s chair, as a target for Congressional drivel and platitudes. TUB ATLANTA SLANDER SIILL Must be in full operation, judging from the special telegrams which appear in For ney's Chronicle, under dato of Atlanta-. It is snrmlsed that the branch concern here touches up these “specials,” and on some occasions manufacture them out of whole cloth. Bullock is even charged with writing anonymous letters to himself. His defiance of the Ku-Klux Is regarded as worthy of Bombas tes Furioso. TWO BUST B’s. I have made mention before of Bullock’s lobbying In the Senate. The World’s eor- respondent ssys | “The lobbying In order to cany out Bullock’s schemes on the George Bill was renewed on the Senate floor to-day (Thurs day). Butler was observed conferring with Stewart, while Bnllock and Spencer, the prince of carpet-baggers, were poised on a sofa in loving discourse. Respectable Re publicans feel that the presence pf Bullock in the Senate is a great stigma upon their party. Foster Blodgett was aiding Bul lock. Physiognomy leaves nothing whatever to be guessed at in the character of either, Blodgett has not enquired after “ Argus lately, who feels very much slighted in consequence. TREASURER ANGIER Has returned home, feeling confident that all is safe, and that the Senate will pass the Georgia Bill with Bingham’s Amendment. BRYANT AND BOWLES Remain, and propose to fight it ont to the end. THE RECONSTRUCTION OT TENNESSEE. THE FUNDING BILL. Text of Sherman’s B ill as Amended by the Senate and Passed Last Night.

CAPITALS. Tbe Mania for Moving Them. The capital moving mania is growing. Not to speak of its accomplished results in changing the capital of Georgia from Mil- ledgeville to Atlanta, and the capital of Louisiana from Baton Rouge to New Or leans, its voico is heard crying alond in high places for a removal of the capita! of Texas from Austin to Houston; of Wisconsi; from Madison to Milwaukee; of New Jer sey from Trenton to Elizabeth; of West Virginia from Wheeling to Charleston ; and, above all, of theso United States from Wash ington to some as yet unascertained point in the far West, for which the larger vil lages of that region battle as desperately as ever did the municipalities of Greece for the birthplace of Homer. For tho capitals of States it is no matter, the States them selves being now airy abstractions, as is well known, which did cot constitute the Union out of thoir waste attributes, butare, as it wore, tho chicks of the Fodcral gov ernment, that unconditioned hen; but when, loaving tho States, we come to that Washington which sits in knavish pomp on the Potomac, ono is smit with horror at the prospect of any removal of tho capital thence. So far, where tlic moving mania has had results, the transfer has boon from villages, commended by their accessibility, to cities, distinguished by their life and size. Baton Rouge has given way to that jay New Orleans; Milledgeville, that rustic camlet, only illumined ont of nothingness by tho strong boxe3 of shining plate which appertain to his Excellency, the successor of Oglethorpo, is now superseded by thriv ing Atlanta. On this principle, where could the Fcdoral Capital even be moved to, save New York? That we have our small vices, is true; like Jeshurun, have waxed fat and sometimes kick; but what absolute capers of sin would we cut with that select con geries of corbras di capello, known as Con gress, forever among us, as an unapproach able rival and altogether dissolute debauch- er of “tho bloody Sixth.”—N.

In the House of Lords the Naturaliza tion bill was debated in committee.

There were tw6 occurrences in the war of 1S12. which are characteristic of the Kentucky soldiers of that time, which I do not recollect to have seen In print. The one occurred while the Amcricnn prisoners were being marched through Canada to Fort George. On one occasion tlic officer commanding the guard bought some whis ky. "nd Invited a Kentucky corporal to drink. The British Captain gare as a toast George IU. The corporal drank without hesitation. Tbe British Captain then call ed upon the corporal for a sentiment. Tho corporal rather declined, saving. “Yon have beeu kind in Inviting in« to drink, and I may give offense by giving a toast.” The corporal then saiJ: ’• May tbe eklns of kings be madedrum-Ucails, and the shanks of Tories drum-stinks, to beat tha Ameri cans to arms.” The British Captain re marked : “ Sir,you must remember where you arc, and act accordingly.” A British Lieutenant, who composed one ofthe com pany, said: “ Stop, Captain, you called for a sentiment, and must not now take excep tion.” Suffice to say. tho British officer* swallowed the toast. Tho other happened at Camp Jackson, below New Orleans, on the 8th of January, 1S15. After the British made their last charge on our breast-works they sent In ft flag of truce, wbich was met by a'flag from' the American army, asking the privilco-o of removing their killed Bad wounded, which were numerous. A line was desig nated so far from onr breast-works as to prevent tbe enemy from discovering tho nature of our defeuses, and American sol diers placed on one side of the line and British soldiers on the other. While their dead and wounded were being taken to this line and received by British soldiers, a soldier belonging to the latter remarked to a Kentucky soldier: “It Is useless for you to continue this contest; wc are determi ned to take the city. Wo have Lord Becken ham, Lord Gibbs, and I<ord Keene, and a powerful army, and arc determined to toko tho city.” To which tho Kentucky soldier replied: “Wo have on our side tbe Lord God Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ and the the hero. Old Hickory, and i’ll be damned If wc can’t whip you.” Kentuck ians may be overpowered, but still they will crow.—Lexington Ornette. Political. The Louisiana Democratic State Com mittee proclaims that “there is no middle ground, except lor those who are on the road to the common enemy.” The Columbus Citizen is informed that some loyal citizens of that place are carry ing out the doctrine of social equality by calling and dining with their sable breth ren. General Sherman is reported to have said, tho other day. when commenting on the new military bill, that “ these congress men were not fit to make laws for tho Ya hoos.” The Rhode Island Senate has adopted resolutions calling a convention to revisa the State Constitution, the delegates to bo elected August 8. and the Convention to meet Sept. 6.

L. AVERY. Branded ns Statements aro False. The wicked, lying dispatch of this Radi cal crcatare, dated from this city and ad dressed to Senators at Washington, evident ly with tho view of influencing the vote on tho Georgia hill and thus playing into the hands of Bullotk, affords a sample of the requital received by tho Southern people from some of those who have been received and treated as gentlemen. Every honest man here knows that, so far as this city and section of the State is concerned, the state ments of Avery are the basest fabrications and falsehoods. Never was our communi ty more quiet and free from all political excitement and disorder of every kind. The government officers here will testify to tho truth of what we say, and we do not consider it worth onr while to waste words on the subject. And who is this man Avery, who thus moves among us quietly enjoying the pro tection of our laws and under tho cover of the telegraph maligns and slanders them ? He is a New Yorker, and tho Attorney and the lobbyist of tho Brunswick and Albany railroad. We learn he resides in Atlanta, at least he has opened an office there, wo suppose, to ho convenient to Bullock’s Leg islature, from whom ho and others procur ed last year by arts best known to them selves, a State endorsement of bonds to the amount of many millions. Conant, the party alluded to in the dispatch, is a North ern contractor on the samo road, and instead of paying “ millions ” for tho construction of railroads in Georgia, it is reported that the hands on the road have struck because they wero not paid. Avery arrived in this, city Friday last, and if he has been treated with the slight est disrespect, we have yet to hear of it So far as this community is concerned, we have no hesitation in characterizing his statements as wilfully and maliciously false. [Soo. Eepullican. John G. Baxter, tho Mayor elect of Louis ville, is about forty years old, short and florid, rich, upright and brusque. He roso from the people. In politics ho has always been a Democrat, and he lives sumptously on Third street. The father of Senator Benton lies ob scurely buried in a patch of pines, four miles west of Hillsboro, North Carolina, where, says tho Recorder of that placo “ the country people daily pass, and little regard that tho father ot ono of the great est statesmen of the country lies buried near. Torches were thrust ont almost over his head, but thanks to tlieir blinding glare, the victim hung unseen. They evidently believed he had escaped. Parties were even sent to the river, but after a stay of perhaps fifteen minutes, tho ecene of horror was deserted. The danger for the moment over, the youth swung himself back Into the room, and for a time lay completely overcome by exhaustion. Then came the sad office of viewing the bloody corpses of the only two lie claimed akin within thousands of miles. Col. Jones lsy where he had stood, pierced by four bullets. He had evidently died in stantly, receiving every wound from the front. The son lay in the garden, also <jcad.' Remaining perhaps an hour on the tragic ground, the boy creeping softly to the river, procured a pirogue, and slowly float ing down stream to a lower landing. Blink in'* on board the steamer Mayflower, he found himself in the midst of his enemies, fifteen of them, armed with shot guns. While standing In bewilderment, one man, worthy ofthe name, we wish we dared <*ive it, touched him, and the two walked toward the engine room. He was aulckly directed to the hold, a couple of bales of cotton were carelessly rolled over the hatch and the escape was accomplished. Tho party left the boat in sqnadsof three and four on the way down the river. It is not certain that all left. It i3 not certain that some are not here now ; that two of them did not, on Saturday night, drive to his refuge in a carriage. He is surrounded, however, by acirde fiercer than Greek fire.

A leading lawyer, on entering his house at a late hour last night, found a United States Assessor, an cx-General in the volunteer service, in rather too close proximity with his wife. The ex-Gencral, on being caught in flagrante dellclu, drew a revolver and was about to discharge it at the disconsolate husband* when tho latter overpowered him, lelled him to the ground and succeeded in attracting the attention of the police. Both were arrested and ta ken to the np-town station-house, where the lawyer refused to make a charge, so as to prevent scandal and avoid publication. He has been married. 15 years and has two Avery, tho Calumniator. This individual left our city for Atlanta, Monday morning, not stopping to witness the effect of his vile slander upon the peo ple.
