New York Tribune Report.
Mr. Lewi« (IVm., Aim.) offered an
aii.rii'lnn nt to reduce the wtrenjrtli of
the marine cory* and to abolirh the
Marine band.
Tire latter point of the j»ro-
(•oaltion afforded Mr. Harrwos
diem., 111.) the o|q*>rtunity for deliv
ering a moat umiifintr speech, and one
tlrnt wan much enjoyed and applauded
by both aide# of the houae. lie drew a
lecture of President Grant enjoying the
tnuKic. of the Marine liand in the
grounds* of the white house, while his
friends sat around with iheir feet on
the balustrade smokinir his j.artagaM ;
and be s|ioke of himself, Mr. Ilairison,
moving through a crowd of republicans
in the grounds with one hand on his
purse and the other on bis watch fob.
Next year, with a democratic occntiant
of the' white house, the scene would be
different
A republican member— 1 Then we will
have our hands on our purses and
watches. [Laughter.]
Mr. IIakwhon—Very good; but we
will be enjoying the music. 1 want to
see a democratic president there listen
ing to the music, and I hope to lie one
of hia friends, with my feet on the ba
lustrade and one of his partagas lie-
tween my li|»s. 1 ain opt*osed to the
abolition of the marine hand. Think
of the deirmrratH who want to
get into the white house.
There is a son of the great Kin
pire state (Tilden), greater than Alex
ander. Alexander cut the <>ordian
knot with his sword, hut the knot was
only a ring of hemp; hut this man has
cut a ring of steel—a canal ring. Arid
he may be in the white houae. I want
the Marine baud there to give hi
sic. Audit he should lead a bride to
the white house, we will play the
wedding march and furnish sweet mu
sic lieneatli her ehsmlier window.
| laughter.] We have other men for
that |>ositioii, any one of whom would
grace the presidential chair as it has not
been graced for long years. Are we to
deny him the music of the Marine
hand? Never,never,never. [lAugh
ter.] Wo may have one from Ohio
[Mr. Kellst—Bill Allen] who never
njieaks in the senate without uttering
words of wisdom (meaning Senator
Thurman). Are we to have no music
for him ? No, sir; never, never, never.
[Ixmd laughter, as much at the
style and manner of the speaker
the evident blunder of his last remark.]
We have, a little west of the Iloosier
state, a great democratic war-horse (al
luding to Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana,)
—a man who, they say, is a little of a
trimmer. Ile is a trimmer, heiauae his
mind is so round that he sees both sides
of a question ami does not grow wild
on either side, lie may be in that
position and 1 may be his friend in the
white house, and shall he have no
music from the Marine band? Never,
sir; by my vote, never! never! never *
[<treat laughter.] We may nave in
that neat, Mr. chairman, one who will
till the chair as it was never tilled be
fore (alluding to Judge I ►avis of the
supreme court); not a single inch
of it that will not
filled, [laughter.] A man great in
law as in politics; one against whom
not a word ran lie said. Am 1 to come
heie from lllinnia to attend his
giiiation, and am 1 to go with him to
the white house and have no music
to aid him in tripping the light fantas
tic toe? Never, sir, never with my
v*umrnt, never. [Continued laughter.]
Theie is still another one from your
own state,Mr.Chainnan, great in arms,
« c*t as a civilian (alluding to (ien.
Adcock of lYtin>ylvnnia,)aiuan who if
he had not Is en great as a general
would have t»eeii great in civil life, lie
may Is* then*, lie will wish to have
some memories of the pu»l brought to
his mind by martial music. Is it to l*e
denied to him ? .shall a marine hand
l*e refused to him? lly my vote, sir,
never, never, never. [Laughter.] Then,
sir, there is still another, "the threat
Unknown.” lie is coming ten thous
and stioug from every part of the
union—
Mr. IfARDBMIENOH (ddll., N. J.) —
Parker.
Mr. Harrison—I will call no names.
He is all around. The democratic par-
tv is full of "the great unknown.”
[Itoar* of laughter.] When that "great
uuknown” cornea there, shall he nave
no music? Shall no tones conic out
from those silvery instruments, blown
by thorn*gentlemen in scarlet coats, to
welcome ami introduce that "great un
known” to h»s fellow citizen*? Not by
my vote, sir: never, never.
As Mr. Harrison sat down he was
greeted with r«ars of laughter and
rounds of applause from hoth sides of
in® house. The speech and the ridi
cule proved too much for the amend
ment otic red hy Mr. 1a*wvs, which was
voted down hy a very large majority.
Correspondence of the Constitution.
Washington, May £1, 1876.
Hoa. W. II. Stone, of Missouri, chair
man of the committee on the exjendi-1
lures of the poetoffice department, in
the course of a speech on the poetoffice
appropriation bill reviewed the Mose
ley case as follows:
"On the 30th day of October, 1x74, the
advertisement for mail contracts m the
state of Alabama for one year from
July 1, 1875, was sent to the National
Republican, publishes! at Selma, Ala ,
to be printed in that paper once a week
for six consecutive weeks, and on the
1st day of December, 1674, the pro
prietor of that wiper, who was also the
postmaster at Talladega, Alabama, was
| »id $3,768 for the printing. Charges
I taring been marie of fraud ujton the
department in connection with the in
sertion of this advertisement, an inves
tigation was ordered by the fiostmaster
I general, which developed the fact that
o’irteen hundred sheets of what pur
ported to be a supplement of the Na
tional Republican, of Selma, Ala., con
taining the advertisement, had been
printed in a job office at Selma, for
which printing $fi0 was paid, and these
supplements having been distributed
for six w eeks, two bills were prepared
against the posioffire department for
the work, one for about $2,500 and the
other for $3,768, with which the mist-
master at Talladega came to Washing
ton. Both bills were submitted to tbe
auditor of the treasury for the post-
office department, who finding that in
his judgment it was possible to con
strue the larger amount to be correct
under the law, paid it.
“In this way a postmaster who was
the proprietor of a country newspafier
received a profit of $3,678 on one ad
vertisement. Upon the report of these
facts hy two sjiecial agents of the post-
office department who made the inves
tigation, the naymaster at Talladega
was removed from office, and criminal
proceedings commenced against him in
Alabama. It was, however, found that
he could not be prosecuted in Alabama
for collecting an alleged fraudulent
claim in WaahiLgton, and lie was rein
stated in office. And singular as it mav
seem, the agents who made the investi
gation, the postmaster who was inves
tigated, and the auditor who directed
the payment of the bill lor $3,768 in
stead of $2,500 are aU Ur day ojjicert of
the potlpflice department under the jtotl-
mnetcr general tcho ordered the inrertigd-
turn ”
In ordinary times this would lie con
sidered a very damaging showing for
Postmaster Oeneral Jewell. Now it
appears to rxcite but little comment,
trough Jewell’s reputation as a re
former *is not as good as when
he took office under (irant.

Camp.
W Asm noton. May 111.—Morton and
his follow ing are not going to make any
such capital of the Mississippi investi
gation as they had planned. Some se
cret sessions bave Wen held in this
city, and conflicting testimony has set
the two wings of the republicans by the
ears. Senator Alcorn has not for
some time been very cordially inclined
tow »rd Atm*®. It was' doubt
less with a knowledge of this that
Ames, who was summoned before the
committee, broke out in denunciation
of Alcorn * course, accusing him of
treachery towards the Macks and dis
loyalty to the |>arty. He went on to
ahow by inference that Alcorn ha<!
been mainly instrumental for tbe
loss of Mirsiasippi to the Jepub-
lican party. The committee’* session*
are all secret, out it was not math*
known to Alcorn that he was being
made a sou-ego* t for Aim**’ criminali
ties and indtecilitie*. He broke out in
violent indignation, and denounced the
committee for permitting an imjieach-
el and disgraced fellow Uke Ames to go
before a star chamber tribunal to
blacken the reputation ni his t»etter.
The consequence is Merton
and hi* blood - and - tones
hiood are considerably per
plexed. The testimony of Alcorn will
go to show that it was through the cor
ruption and crime® of Ames that the
state was lost to the party, while Ames,
who i« bv no means without a follow
ing, will show that Alcorn is the cause
«M all the mischief. When the facta are
presented, the Ames-Alcorn rule in
Mississippi will be proven to be the
most cruel, rapacious and criminal of
any of tbe overturned states. A‘corn
himself ban been heard to Mast, as a
good p k®, of dressing up negro judges,
who sat on* bench with a book upside
down in their hands, deciding the
graveet cases of equity. He was par-
culaxly merry about one decision
* here a tricked out negro, wto could
neither read ncr wi.te affirmed away
th® property of a widow and a large
family of young children. Against thi*
atrocious outrage there was no appeal.
When the committee get at work hun
dreds of cases of this character will be
shown—Ames putting the blsoK on
Alcorn, and Alcorn on Ames.
BrowxesVILUC, May 27.—Escobedo

ments and provisions for Escobedo are

HOARDED SlI.VKR.
.Small silver coin, which ha* been
hoarded up these many years, is grad
ually finding its way into circulation.
A bookseller on Pennsylvania Avenue
showed me thin morning half a pint of
three cent pieces, picayunes and dimes,
most of w htch were well worn and had
a decidedly ancient look. The three
cent pieces recalled Torn Renton's ob
jection to these coins at the time of their
issue, he being then a member of the
house. He declared that these coins
would “rob the liootblack, sir;” “rob
the poor bit, sir,” and he was right.
This was, and is, a Yankee coin, and
was never in circulation in the south.
I have heard little complaining of late
of Ih® teat city of change, though in
Philadelphia retail dealers were paying
from three to five percent for fractional
currency at the time the exposition
opened. Here people are tired of jing
ling a pocketful of silver and the new
halves and quarter go from hand to

A witness apjieared before the house
committee on the expenditures of the
poat office department the other day,
told »ome funny stories of how the
mails are sent in the far west. To avoid
the heavy railroad and express charges
the mails are used to carry every ce
script ion* of matter which can lie pu
up in four jiound packages. A larg<
store in Prescott, Arizona, received the
greater portion of its stock in thii
from the eastern markets. Nets of har
ness, hoots and shoes, corsets, clothing

Mr.t Hill said: “I do Dot know if it ia
proper for me to express any views
upon tbe subject of the ensuing presi
dential election. The people of the
south recognize the sensitiveness of the
public mind in the north in regard
to the active interference of the south
in politics. While this is but natural,
it is doing the south an injustice, as she
is on an equality with the other sec
tions of the country, and has the same
duty to perform. The south has
abandoned slavery, secession and all
her other old ideas, and desires a cor
dial reunion, peace between the races,
and desires also the advancement of
the colored man. The {>eople ask of
the party in power equal
constitutional rights and
more. They do not want
be put in any other position. We de
sire to support the national sentiment.
We prefer that the northern democra
cy should select the candidate. All we
hope is that he will be a good, sound,
constitutiamU and national man, who
will do justice to all men, to every
race, and who will ask no favors nor
indulge in any extravagances. Above
all thiugs we desire reconciliation and
revision. If the northern democracy
should be so divided as to be unable to
agree, then tbe south must decide it.
Her delegates w ill endeavor to do it in
such a manner as best to con
tribute to success as we
regard the question at issue in the ap
proaching election the preservation of
our constitutional system. Tilden,
Hendricks, Bayard and Thurman are
all acceptable to us, but we prefer the
strongest man. We hope that the
northern democracy may be able to
select a man of whose national senti
ments there can be no doubt. We ex-
l*ect great sensitiveness on this ques
tion on tbe part of the north, and we
intend to show the northern people
that we will be luj al. I am represented
as an extreme man. .Such has never
been my reputati n at home. 1 can
not admit that the entire southern
people are criminals, hut I am as much
devoted lo our constitutional form of
ernment as any other man. I did
not wish to speak, but 1 was
omiK-Ued to defend the south.
I was brought into the debate by
a wicked assault upon our people, who
for teu years had l»een unjustly accused
and misrepresented. I would have
l>een glad had no dead issues come up t
but 1 would not admit that at least one
third of the people ot this country were
criminals. Our difficulties were settled
by war, as reasoning could not settle
them, and it is manly and religious for
us to accept the fact. The republican
pai ty is a sectional one; its history is
sectional; it is itself one of the features
of the war hy which it is necessary to
get rid of. W liether its work has been
patriotic or not is for the world to
judge. The currency question I look
u|M>nas a subordinate one. Restore
honest government, the currency will
soon adjust itself and lie all right. It is
to t>e h«*pcd that the matter will be set
tled at Sl I/mis without division
and without the interposition of the
south. If so the entire southern vote
will Ih? cast for the nominee. The
south recognizes there is a new era.
Formerly she Lad slavery and abstrac
tions. The next century she will work
out her destiny with free labor and
good bard sense. I regret my speech
should have been misinterpreted, as I
aiu for the union under the constitution
amt the laws, as are my people, and
hope that the time is fast ariving when
the only difference between the geogra
phical sections ol the country will be
as to which shall be foremoat in devo
tion to our common country. The time
must come when the people of the
north w ill better understand the jieo-
ple of the south, and *Jie proper fia
rental feeling will be restored never to
Ih? again interrupted.” Mr. Hill spoke
in au earnest and forcible manner, and
was evidently most sincere in c.ery
utterance he made.
ness, boots amt shoes, corsets, clothing
of all kinds, and even groceries are sent
through uncle Sam’s mail. Why,
the witness, one leg of a pair ot pant*
will Ih? provided hy one mail, and the
othe leg by the next mail. This raised
a laugh in the coiniuitUe. It was als«
shown that on some of the mail route.-
in the’tcrritories thottnuisportation of a
single letter costs four to five dollars.
This cannot be helm*I however. The
mail service was intended for the ac
commodation of thejreople and not for
money making. The present post
master general and Senator Hamlin
would no doubt like to revise this pro
|M)sition, but they will hardly lie allow
ed to do so.

WHITEWASH.
As anticipated the ex-sutler Spencer,
who misrepresents Alabama in the
senate, has ln*en whitewashed; but it
will l*e necessary to deodorize him be
fore he will cram* to stink in the nos
trils of the nation. The so-called in
vestigation was a farce. All tedimnny
damaging to Spencer has been i tiled
out. Everybody knows that Sj*encer
was guilty of the crimes of which he
stands accused, and it is equally well
known that he was never legally elected
to tbe seat he now holds Meanwhile
he is on a better footing than ever at
the White House, and has absolute
control of the federal patronage in Ala
bama. *

In 1873 the legislature passed a law,
applicable to Burke, Jefferson and'
Washington counties, forbidding the
ordina'j or commissioners of sanlcoun
tics to grant license to sell liquor, un
less the application should beaccompa
tried by the written consent of two-
thirds of the free holder® living within
an area of three miles of the place
where the liquor was to l»e sold. In
1875, this law was made applicable to _
number of oilier counties, including
Troup. The consequence is the re
tailing of spirituous liquors is virtually
prohibited iu this county, outside of
the incur)Hirated towns; for the written
consent of two-thirds of the free-hold-
ers living within the prescribe*] area,
has not, in a single instance been ob
tained and probably never will l»e.
The result of this prohibition has
been noted by the grand jury, to whose
presentments in another column we call
attention. The members of the jury
from different parts of the country were
questioned, ami all testified that since
the prohibition liegau the negro labor
ers have been under better control,
have done th* ir work better and more
willingly, and have been much more
efficient and satisfactory as Uboiers in
all respects, than heretofore. And, in
every instance, the members testifying
gave it as their opinion that this state
of affairs is attributable to the absence
of liquor selling and liquor drinking in
the rural districts. Moreover, the fact
was developed that there has been les®
stealing going on since than before the
decease of the liquor shops. The temp
tation furnished by cross road groceries
to steal farm products and barter them
tor liquor, is well known,and its effects
are felt all over ihe whole state. Now.
happily, in this country, the opportu
nity to barter for whisky is removed
andt e temptation to steal is lesseued
to a great degree.
It is a common remark hy those wno
are opposed to the almlition of the
liq tor »radio, that prohibition does not
decrease the consumption of liquor
but, on the contrary, that it creates in
men a sort of headstrong desire to
dri.ik more because the opportunities
are lessened; that where liquor is m t
allowed to be sold publicly, it is sold
clandestinely, and, to use the oft re
peated assertion, "there is more drink
ing now than before.” One fact is said
to be worth a thousand theories, and
we respectfully offer to the anti-prohib
itionists the several salutary facts de
veloped by thejrr-nd jury of last week,
and published in their presentments.
We hope before a great-while to chron
icle the fact that the incorporated
towns do not furnish an exception to
the remainder of Troup county in this
matter.—LaGrange Reporter.

Mr. Drew had a daughter who was

was trustee, and had the handling of
her money. He kept her money with
his own, and it was all mixed up'finan
cially and speculatively. The lady
married a minister, acd the father did
not object, supposing that a simple-
hearted minister wouldn't look very
closely in o the manner in which his
wife’s money was invested. He had a
rich wife, and that was enough. The
man had an eye to business, and as
snon as the honeymoon was ov«r he
began to overlook his wife's esta e.
He did not believe that it was wise or

that his wife’s property should be im

The republicans of Ohio are for Hayes
more numerously and decidedly than
the democrats are for Thurman. A
few of the republican delegates in the
northern Dart of the state are for Blaine,
a few in the southern for Morion and
one or two around Cincinnati for Bris
tow, but the great bulk cry out for
Hayes, and of course the vote of the en
tire delegation was cast in his favor, at
least on the first ballot They will stick
to Hayes unless it be demonstrated that
he cannot win. In the east, from time
to time, we were accustomed to get, be-
i tinning with the high top note of Gen.
sherman and running down the gamut,
furtive bints and rumors that Hayes
would make a strong candidate for pres
ident, that Hayes was the secret choice
of the west, that he was a man of great,
though unrevealed po'itical strength;
a man of great but unrecognized abili
ty, and that, in short, he was the com
ing man, the "great unknown,” recently
discovered and brought to light. The
people in the east
THE NAME OF HAVEN
is a vague and nebulous quautitv. We
know there must be some such man,
and that be must have performed some
achievement to send his name afloat up
and down the land as a candidate for
the presidency; but the name gives us
no due to his personality, to his weight
or capacity, to his deeds or possibilities.
We are familiar with all the other can
didates, to courtly Conkling, the gallant
Thurman, the fiery Blaine, the reform
ing Tilden, th® rest'esa Morton, the vir
tuous Bristow, the high-toned Bayard;
but Hayes touches us nowhere. Yet it
is not a remote possibility tbat this, to
us, obscure man may be the republican
standard bearer for the presidency. Far
more unlikely things have happened.
The circumstances being favorable and
my curiosity being piqued, I took a
stroll into tne stateliouse this morning
with a view of having at least
A LOOK AT THE MAN
who is beyond question Ohio’s favorite
son. I found Governor Hayes busy
signirg papers in his private office, anti
when 1 subsequently left him it was
with the conviction that for a presiden
tial candidate he was the most uncon
cerned one I ever met His head and
face are good; the former high and ex
pensive, tbe latter well filled out by an
ample light brown beard. Judging bv
bis eyes ne baa studied long and ban!.
What particularly struck me was his
voice, its fibre and resonance. I had
heard that in the war he was one of the
most dashing officers of the western
army, and that no bugle blast could
thrill the soldiers' souls lixe the ring
ing tones of Haves’ voice sweeping
along the lines. There was that qual
ity in it as he spoke tliat indicated the
man of grit and resolution, and yet it
was tbe voice of a modest, unpreten
tious man who, by unanimous report,
would decline to cross the street, if it
took him out of his wav, to be presi
dent of the United Mate's. There was
none of that nervous evasiveness about
him in tbe presence of an interviewer
peculiar to most political candidates.
He talked of the situation as unreserv
edly as if he hail no more con
cern in it than hi® questioner, and
this was very refreshing. His
delivery was easy, clear and fluent.
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
Hayes is a well built, pleasant faced
man oi fifty-four years. Unlike Gov.
Tilden lie is married and has a family.
He was born in Delaware, in Ohio, and
spent a good many years of his life
practirising law in Cincinnati, where
he bad a large clientage, and where he
also filled the position of city solicitor
for some time. He served all through
the war, going in as a private and com
ing out as a major general. During his
sei vice he was offered a nomination to
congress, but declined, saying the jH>st
of honor then was the front of Lattle.
After the war lie served two terms in
congress from the second Cincinnati
district. Next we find him entering
the field as a candidate for governor ot
Ohio, against Thurman, whom be beat,
and then in two subsequent cam
paigns, including that of last fall, he
laid out two other noble chief
tains of tbo democracy, George li. Fen-
dleton and William Allen. Haves lias
been governor of Ohio three times. The
success that has atlcnded him so far,
especially his victory of last fall, when
Bill Allen and the greenback men mode
tbe earth tremble* with their shouts for
more rag money, is a prominent ele
ment of hisstrenth with the republi
can party of the state, who reckoned
that if lie could do so well on a small
stage he might do even better on a large
one. Without seeming to show it, he
has manifested much adroitness in the
various cam|taignsin which he has been
engaged,and managed last fall to snatch
victory from the jaws of defeat by the
manner of his dealing with tbe financial
question The republicans have been
playing the double shuffle with the rag
baby all through this state; for, emad
as they claim the number of greenback
men to be within the ranks of the r or
ganization, they are still dreadfully
afraid of losing them. Besides being a
politican, Hayes is a man of extensive
readii g and well posted on standard
literature.
WEDDINU BELL*.
A Brilliant Beene at Graee Churrli.
New York—Marriage or Lopl
Dandevilte to the Daughter
or a Wealthy Cuban
New York, May 22.—Lord Mande-
ville was married at Grace church this
afternoon to Miss Consulo, daughter of
Senor Antonio Yznaga del Nalle, the
rich Cuban merchant. His lordship
has a brilliant pedigree, is unassuming,
gentlemanly and not yet twenty-three.
He has traveled much, is an enthusias
tic admirer of America, and has made
many friends and was much interested
in New York club life, and he saw that
safety from bewildering recklessness
was only possible in marriage
to a loving woman. He bad
brought letters of introduction
to the Yznaga family, and became at
tached to his present bride, a high-bred,
brown-haired beanty. The wedding
was announced several weeks ago. To
day at thiee o’clock, in Grace church,
was a large assemblage, nine-tenths of
whom were elegantly attired women.
The ladies crowded into the church,
and many stood on the pew-seats when
tbe doors were thrown open for the joy
ful procession, consisting of the bnde,
her mother and the bridesmaids.
Among the spectators were many
prominent persons. It was nearly four
o'clock when the bridal party en ered.
Lord MandeviUe was in Kill mourning
dress, with a black neck-scarf and a
picadilly collar. He wore a white rose
in tbe lappel of his long frock coat
He is of the medium bight, spare of
build, and was clean shaves with the
exception of a miniature mustache.
The Kev. Morgan Dix performed the
ceremony. His lordship's eyes were
almost constantly fixed on his bride,
and twice she laughed outright. Her
dress was oi whit® satin, beautifully
enveloped with white lace, the back
was of satin and damask, the waist was
of the same, with open squares, and
the sleeves were of striped satin and
pearl. She wore a point lace veil, with
diamond stars and crescent. The
bridesmaids wore white tulle, with
white sashes and bouquets of lilacs.
The Rev. Morgan Dix read the mar
riage service of the Episcopal church.
Lord Mandeville almost audibly re
peated th® words. He seemed some
what flustered, but when he said "I
will” be was heard throughout
the church. The bride and
groom gracefully knelt in front
oi the chancel railing. Senor Yznaga
gave away the bride. When Lady
Mandeville turned and faced the ele
gantly attired and beautiful women
who were the spectators they dapped
their bands with delight. The newly
mamed couple made haste to their car
riage and were driven to Mr. Yznaga’s
temporary residence, 262 Fifth avenue,
where the wedding breakfast was giv
en. Lord MandeviUe thought of taking
his bride to England next week, but
has changed his mind, and will remain
in this city for several weeks. Elegant
presents were in abundance in the
Fifth avenue house; among them was
a lace fan, the frame work painted by
the artist Champlain, from Mrs. Lip-
pincott, of Philadelphia.

ANp’ey Letter From Atlanta.
Luiubridge Democrat
Atlanta, Ga., May 19,1876.
Editors Democrat: *‘I must congrat
ulate you on your great success in thi9
matter; and 1 am very glad you under
took it.” Such was the language ad
dressed to Mr. Fitzsimmons, the captor
of Bullock, by General Toombs on yes
terday. Yea, it*8 a veritable fact, that
the distinguished fugitive governor has
been reclaimed from his wanderings,
and every one living in the gate city is
desirous, like Gen. Toombs, of congrat
ulating Fitzsimmons ‘on his great suc
cess.” The news of Bullock’s appre
hension and arrival fell upon our as
tonished ears like a clap of thunder
from a clear sky, and we almost doubt
ed our senses as we glanced over the
Kimball House register and beheld the
following: Rufus B. Bullock, Georgia.
He was "sarched out” and found awav
up in New York just beneath the shad
ows of the bleak Canadian hills. How
his capture was effected, and how he
stood up during the first moments of
his painful duress, and whether or not
be tried to buv off, is all a matter of
conjecture anu uncertainty, those
who arrested him have not yet seen fit
to put the public in possession of the
whole history of the transaction.
Now that we have,the elephant, what
shall we do with him ? is the querry
most nniversally propounded around
and about here just at this time. For
the purpose of giving a somewhat satis
factory answer of it to the readers of
the Democrat, I called on he ctu isel-
lorof the ex-governor, Gen. Gartrell v
and learned from him all that he felt
privileged to make public. a He is held
for trial under two indictments found
against him (I think) in 1872; one for
cheating and swindling, and the other
for larceny after trust. The former in
dictment is a joint one against Bullock,
Blodgett and E. N. Kimball and grew
out of a transaction connected with the
famous Tennessee car company. This
being merely a misdemeanor he was ie-
quired to give only a $3,000 bond for
his appearance to answer this charge.
The ether indictment charges him with
appropriating moneys of the state to aid
in the construction ol the opera house.
This being a felony, be was held to biil
upon this charge in the sum of $10,000,
making in all a $13,000 bond, which he,
strange to say, found no difficulty in
S iving, and that too of the most un-
oubted security.
The attorney general has not yet de
cided when he will have his case’called,
but has promised the counsel for the
defense to inform them to-morrow'
morning if he will insist upon a trial
during the present sitting of the supe
rior court. General Toombs is still in
• he city, and the knowing ones say that
he has been a )>owerful factor in work
ing out this result, but w hether he will
assist in the prosecution has not yet
been noised abroad. There is scarcely
any doubt but that he, Barkis-like, is
both "willin’’ and “waitin.” Such is
ms known fidelity to trutli and country.
*•»•**
My vision has not yet been feasted
with a sight of the great deposed, but
those who have been t j see him and
have seen this great Mokanna unveil
himself, say that he looks well, serene
and sleek, and that to all appearances
his contrivances and schemes for pub
lic plunder have not weighed upon his
mi id, nor dimmed that assumed look
of innocence with which the guilty
culprit seeks to plaster over his heinous
purposes.
The geueral feeling at the capture of
this famous runaway is one of joy, anti
ail are looking forward with great inter
est to the extiaordinary trial to which
it will probably give rise.
Justus,like an avenging Nemesis { lias
overtaken this seemingly great crimi
nal, and if upon a fair trial guilt is
clearly ascertained,why let the uplifted

The following heart-rending particu
lars ol the treatment received by two
helpless children at the hands of a
woman, the wife of a painter, in whose
care the children had been placed, is
presented by the Lancaster Intelli
gencer, whicn gives the name of the
accused in that city. Persons who
were eye and ear witnesses, and who
lived upon the spot, received the infor
mation from the lips of one of the chil
dren:
“The children were confined more
than a year, for the most part in a cel
lar, where hogs were kept, and employ
ed there in doing the work tor their
master; their only food was a piece of
bread a day, without even water to
drink, they supplying that want from
the hogs’ trough. They had not lain iu
a bed during the the whole time. Their
mistress, who practiced nursing, used
trequently, without any cause, to
tie them up by the hands,
stretched out, to a staple fixed in the
ceiling^fter strippingthem stark naked,
and whip them till her strength was
exhausted, and they were covered with
wounds; after which she fastened their
bodies upon them, which, cleaving to
their lacerated flesh, eat into their bod
ies till the human tigress renewed her
cruelties, which, we may naturally sup
pose, were every time more intolerable
than the preceding. The eldest, who
is seventeen years of age, she scourged
no less than six times the Friday before
discovery, whereby, and by her former
usage, sne was continued sore, covered
with gashes from head to feet; her
flesh seemed j mi rifled and she appeared
rather as if cut with knives than whips;
her head was swelled to an enormous
size, her eyes imperceptible, and her
speech gone. An iron collar that was
about tier neck had torn that
and her shoulders in a terrible manner.
The youngest, who is thirteen years
old, is likewise a miserable spectacle.
•She declared to an acquaintance of the
writer of this that sometimes after thev
had been whipped, the blood which
streamed from their wounds formed
puddles underneath them where they
sat in the cellar. The man is said not
to have whipped them, but was only
accessory as knowing and permitting
it. When the mistress went away she
caused them to be chained up in that
filthy place till her return, which they
dreaded more than death, which would
have put a period to their sufferings.
The eldest sen is said to have assisted
the mother in whipping and insulting
them.”

Mow Mrs Cleveland Beceivea
N. Y. Home JournsL
Those who have never attended the
Tuesday afternoon receptions given by
Mr. Esther Greeley Cleveland ana Iter
daughters, at 233 west Twenty-second
street, can scarcely imagine how bril
liant they are, notwithstanding the ut
ter absence of formality. Occurring in
daylight, say from four to seven p. w.,
ladies arrive unattended, some in car
riages, others on foot; and so unceremo
nious is the whole entertainment, that
they do not remove their bonnets, leav
ing outer wraps only, and parasols, per
haps, with the attendant umid in the
reception-room, on lower floor. Guests
assemble in the parlor®, up stairs, the
shutters of which are closed, the lace
curtains drawn, and chandeliers
ablaze with gas; this while
there is a profusion of, sunshine
out-doors. Softness and a very
pleasing effect are thus gained for the
already attractive interior. To mention
inanimate objects first, the eye is pleas
ed with rare pictures; natural flowers
give their delicious fragrance for anoth
er of the senses, while the ear is de
lighted by artistic vocal sounds and
some unusually fine permances on a
Decker grand piano—an instrument, by
the way, presented to Miss Cecilia
Cleveland only a few days since, the
fine tone of which is generally admired.
A feature of Mrs. Cleveland’s entertain
ments is the rare mnsic—such music as
ope seldom hears outside of piofessional
circles; but the gathering of cultured
I>eople, those liaving social reputions
and esthetic tastes,aud the brilliant fire
of conversation among them, are also
salient points of these pleasant recep
tions.

not an officer liable to impeachment.

Jones County Letter in Goldsboro Messenger.
This county has had tor the past five
or six years three negro commissioners
and but two white, all republicans, as
it seems no others can be elected in
this county, having never had since
1868 9 but one democratic county offi
cer (register of deeds) elected by the
people, and he held office for only a
brief period of two years. It has been
the custom in this county nnder radi
cal rule, ever since the adoption of the
constitution of 1S6S-9, to hire or
let out the paupers of the county to
the lowest bidder aud at public auc
tion, but not until within a tew years
past, indeed not till the "civil rights
bill” was agitated in congress and
throughout the country, have the ne
groes had |he impudence and effront
ery to bid unrebuked on white pau
per®. They now assert or some of
them do, that they have the same right
to bid for white paupers as the whites
have to bid for negro paupers, claim
ing the same rights aud equalitv be
fore the law the whites enjoy.
It has become so common in this
county for negroes to bid at auction for
white paupers, of both sexes and with
out regard to age, that it has almost
ceased to excite surprise and but little
indignation, and the competition in
bidding at such auctions is as spirited
and brisk with our negroes as it would
be at the sale of any personal property.
The aged, lame, blind and^ infirm of
both sexes are alike subjected to this
indignity. The blind man alluded to
in vour report has a wife and several
children, ne alone of the family being a
pauper, and he generally supported
himself by a little allowance made him
by the county. He has on several oc
casions been bid off by negroes. An
other aged white man who has a family
and is himself severely affiicted with
cancer, has on several occasions been
bid off by negroes. But a year or two
ago an aged blind lady, a pauper but
respectable, was put up at auction to
the lowest bidder, and site was bid off
by a negro. When told who had hid
her off, she burst into tears and with
uplifted hands grooping her way
through the crowd, begged her friends
“For God sake spare me! save me!”
AU who witnessed this pitiful scene
stood appalled.
None of the white paupers bid off by
negroes will live or go to them, as they
would likely prefer death by starva
tion sooner than yield to be made slave?
to negro masters. Their friends and
arquaintances generally intercede and
provide homes for them.
A stranger from the western part of
this state, who was present at the last
letting, and witnessing the scene in
disgust, remarked: "If this is the con
dition of the whites in the negro coun
ties of Eastern Carolina, mav the good
I»rd deliver us in the west.
If any evidence is wanted to sustain
these charges, you can inspect our
county records or call upon the auction
eer, who has acted for several years in
that capacity, and is himself a republi
can and fully cognizant of the facts.
Several instances are known of\»egroes
threatening to whip white men, cursing
and abusing them, and pulling off coats
for a tight. Such are the insults and in
dignities we have to suffer and bear at
the hands of negro radicals, the white
radicals, officers and others being
afraid to offend a friend and brother,,as
he It as a note to give them, and if
charged with belonging to tbe negro
party, they will pretend to get insulted.
Such is radicalism in Jones county.

We have a large lot of letters in our
possession on the gubernatorial ques
tion that we have not published, going
to show beyond a doubt that northeast
Georgia is for Colquitt. His chances
for the nomination are getting better
every day.
Americus Republican.
The Columbus Enquirer says, “Gen.
Colquitt is gaining popularity faster
than any of the candidates. Tlie pros
pect is certainly most encouraging that
lie will be nominated on the first ballot
in the convention. This, ol course, is
equivalent to an election. A nobler,
jmrer gentleman never lived. He is
brave, true, honest. Whatever station
he has been called to fill—whether in
the council of the nation or on the bat
tie field, he has proved himself a true
son of the Empire state of the south,
faithful to every trust. *IIe is a plat-

Bain bridge Democrat
We honestly believe tbat Mr. Harde
man will receive the nomination for
governor, provided the delegates from
the different counties are chosen direct
ly from the people. The prevailing idea
that all the newspapers are for General
Colquitt is a mistake. Not over thirty
have declared any preference, and oi
this number Colquitt has all but three
or four, which, while complimentary to
hint, does not positively show that he
is the strongest man in the race, when
it is kuown there are 153 newspapers
and periodicals in the state. Allowing
Colquitt the whole 30 that have dec’ar-
ed, he yet likes 123 pa|>ers of controlling
the pres-*, or, he only controls less than
one-tifth.
Hardeman’s strength lies mainly with
the people, and he fxissesses more per
sonal popularity, brilliancy and mag
netism than Colquitt, he must be the
strong man with the masses.
Waynesboro Expositor.
This gentleman paid out town a visit
on yesterday. We Were pleased to re
ceive him in onr sanctum, and to take
the hand of one. who from the plow-
handle lias, unaided and alone, risen
to a high place in the political and fi
nancial world. Mr. James is a candi
date for gubernatorial honors, and we
believe, if elected, he would do no dis
credit to the honorable position.
The Waynesboro cornet band sere
naded him at the hotel last night.
Quite a crowd gathered, and loud calls
were made for a sjK*ech from Mr.
James. Hon. W. A. Wilkins in a neat
and spicy speech introduced the honor
able gentleman, who entertained the
|K?ople fora short time with some plain
practicable remarks upon the financial
and other questions of governmental
policy.
