Vice President Hendricks is a member of the Episcopal church. Ex-Secretary Bristow will refuse to testify on confidential relations between himself and the President. Sam Bard has declared for Tildcn and Hendricks and the whole Democratic ticket in Alabama. The depressions in trade in England has caused a resort to short time and reduced wages among factory operatives. Capt. D. C. Sinclair, of Marion, S.CL works sixty white Democrats on his farm. Every thing on the farm is conducted in a quiet and orderly manner, no fighting, stealing, &c. The U. S. Senate have been discussing the question of Chinese immigration, and ap pointed a committee to investigate the mat ter. A storm washed out the village of Rock dale, lowa, and 42 were drowned. Bridges were swept away. It will take two weeks to repair the railroads. The 25 quart cow at Opelika, alluded to by the At. Constitution some two weeks ago, was bred by Mr. George T. Allman, of Corners ville, Tenn. Gov. Hendricks was to meet Gov. Tilden last week, In New York, at which meeting they were to prepare their letters of accept ance. A telegraph operator in New Hampshire had a thumb taken off by a charge of electri city while at his key, and a lady operator along the line was at the same time render ed deaf in one ear. The use of the editorial “ we” prevails, as will be seen by the following remark from a Tennessee paper: “If we escape the hog cholera this season, there will be a large sur plus of pork next winter.” There was a grand torch-light procession and a large Democratic ratification meeting at Washington City last week. Senator Thurman presided. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, and others, spoke. The pay of General Sherman, including allowance for sundries, is $17,700 per an num, and General Sheridan, $11,600. The private soldiers, who are ordered about like slaves, receive about S2OO per annum. The force, by sections, in thc St. Louis Convention was as follows: Nine Eastern States, 226 delegates; ten Western States, 222 delegates; sixteen Southern States, 276 delegates ; three Pacific States, 24 delegates. The honor of the best centennial joke is accorded to the Emperor of Brazil. On learn ing the number of revolutions of the great Corliss engine at the Philadelphia exhibition per minute, he said : “That beats our South American republics.”—jftr. The entire sum of Commodore Vanderbilt’s donations to the Vanderbilt University, at Nashville, Tenn., amounts to $1,000,000. — The interest on $600,000 of this amount, $42,000, is to be devoted to meeting the an nual expenses of the institution. A Newton county man who has been kick ed by a black-ejmd girl, offers to pay SSOO reward for information which will lead to the conviction of an individual who broke up the engagement between himself and his sweet heart. According to the law of New York, any man who lives with a woman and passes her off as his wife, is, by that fact, legally mar ried to her, and can no more marry any other than if lie had been married to her in church by a clergyman. In Hartford an old man was converted to Christianity by this occurrence : As he was in church seeing his grandson baptised, and was wondering why if the rite was accepta ble to God, no visible sign was given, a dove llew in at the window and alighted on one of the boy’s shoulders. The death of General Santa Anna, ex-Prc sident of Mexico, was announced a few days since. The old “Napoleon of the west” was 84 years of age, and died in circumstances bordering upon poverty, after a long and wonderfal career. lie was once the idol of Mexico, but he lost power and prestige many years ago. Women Working out Taxes.— A corres pondent of the Bangor (Me.) Whig writes from a town in that State as follows : “ The people of Fryeburg were somewhat astonish ed and amused yesterday by seeing the two Misses Atwood appear on the road with hoe in hand to work out their highway taxes. Tappan Osgood had charge of the fair spin sters and did his duty very gallantly.” ” The Abbeville (S. C.) Press § Banner says : It is related that several }'ears ago, a young man in his splendid new buggy with his la d\ r -love, was driving his fine horse to church. When they crossed the creek he knew his horse would want water, but he was so much absorbed with the object of his adoration that he unbuckled the crupper of the harness instead of the check line. That young man is now rated among the bachelors. SELECT MISCELLANY. Bishop Marvin’s Prayer at St. Louis. Mr, Henry M. Watterson, of Kentucky, was unanimously elected Temporary Chairman and Senator Barnum, of Connecticut, and Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, were ap pointed a committee to conduct him to the chair. Mr. V atterson assumed the chair, and was received with cheers. Upon the subsi dence of the applause, Mr. Watterson address ed the Convention. At the conclusion of Mr. Watterson* s re marks, which were received with great ap plause, Bishop Marvin made the following prayer, the assembly rising to their feet: O, Uod, we worship Thee. Thou art the sovereign of nations and of worlds. Thy name is above every place, and Thy authority ruleth over all. With Thee the nations arc a very little thing. Thou takest up the isles as the dust of the earth, but Thou condeseendest in infinite goodness to charge Thyself with the interests and affairs of all men. Thou art not unconcerned with regard to the happiness of the creatures whom Thou hast made. We give Thee praise for Thy mercy to us, for Thy goodness to our nation. Thou didst preserve the American colonies in their in cipiency, and in the presence of hostile sav ages, and Thou hast raised them in the power of great States and into a vast government, and has been merciful to us in all the past history of our lives. We have sinned, we have done wickedly before Thee. Private crime and vice have run riot in our country, and public corruption has brought dishonor and reproach upon our name, and yet Thou hast been merciful to us in thc midst of it all, and notwithstanding it all, an ample agri culture, the basis of all prosperity, has fed all, sustained all and enriched all. Mineral wealth embowelled in our mountains and opening ample resources for the present and the future labor is in constant demand at reasonable reward. Our factories, our work shops are crowded with intelligent, industrfi ous and skillful artisans, and they supply our homes with every demand of civilized life. Our commerce governs the whole earth, and levies a contribution on all climes and all nations to our comforts and our luxrics and thc refinements of domestic and social life. Our art Ims touched our civilization with its refinement and its elegance, and O Lord, we give Thee praise that schools and colleges abound and religion hallows all by the purity of its doctrine, the elevation of its spirit and the prevalence of its rights. Blessed be Thy name, O Lord, for Thy mercy, for Thou hast distinguished us with Thy goodness. Thou has made us conspicuous among the nations of the earth. Thou hast nourished us in peace and been our panoply in war. The mani festations of Thy displeasure have been few and occasional. Our history has been a his tory of development and growth. Our Na tional boundaries encompass a vast domain, that lies upon two oceans and touched upon tropical and arctic extremes. Oh God, Thou has brought us through the first century of our independent existence, and lookest clown to-day upon festivities and rejoicings of a mighty people. Our future is with Thee, Oh Lord. Visit not our sins upon us, but grant us Thy blessing in all our borders. Gracious Lord, look upon this Convention. Guide it in its deliberations and put Thy blessing up on all the results of its labors. May these contribute to national and sectional harmony and to the restoration of that cordial good fellowship which must be the basis of all permanent prosperity in our nation. May the results of this Convention tend to public purity and national integrity in every depart ment of the administration and in all time to come. May good government, and free in stitutions faithfully administered secure a prosperous commerce and the growing in dustries in all our land, and may public vir tue distinguish us as the material resources of our land distinguish us amongst the na tions of earth, and to the last catastrophe and final stroke of time shall sound, may this na tion be found prosperous and happy, united and peaceful; and all these mercies *we ask through Jesus Christ, our Creator and Re deemer. Amen. Grant Afraid of Impeachment. A Washington dispatch says : Recently President Grant remarked to a friend that he considered it of the most essential impor tance to himself, personally, that the Repub lican candidate for the Presidency shonld be elected next fall. The President intimated that he was convinced, in the event of the election of a Democratic President, that the majority of the present House would next winter, under some pretext or another, im peach him. Although nothing would likely come of such impeachment, it is natural, for the sake of his record hereafter, that the Pre sident would be desirous to avoid it. The President having come to this conclusion in regard to the temper of the House, it is as sumed that had Mr. Blaine been nominated he would have overcome his apathy in regard to that gentleman, and used the administra tive power and patronage for his election as zealousy as it will now be used in the inter est of Hayes, A Scandalous Practice. “ Suppose,” said an lowa attorney to a witness whom he was cross-examining, “sup pose, sir, I should tell you that I could bring a dozen of your own neighbors who would swear that they would not believe you under oath ? What would you say to that ?” And the witness replied very pleasantly, “I should say you lied.” It is not often that thc tables are thus turned on a brow-beating and insolent attor ney, for, unfortunately, the latter always has the advantage, and too often is disposed to press it tin fairly. There arc instances of this almost every day in our courts. A modest, quiet business man, unused to stand before an audience, is placed in the witness box. He unluckily knows some important facts about a case on trial before an intelligent jury. He states these facts truthfully and without malice. The}’ are, though not with any connivance on his part, fatal to the oth er side. The only remedy, then, is to de stroy the evidence. Consequently, an im portant little fellow, with bristling hair and pompous tone, prepares to extinguish him. Leaning back in his chair and glaring at the modest man, the attorney opens: “Now, sir, what is your name ?” Of course he knows it, the jury knows it, the court knows it, but the attorney asks it again, as if it were of the greatest import ance, and the witness might deny his name on the second thought So lie says: “Now, sir, what is your name?” “Thomas Brown,” responds the modest man. “What!” screams thc lawyer. Speak up, can’t you ? Yon are not ashamed of your name are you ?” “No sir,” replied Brown. “ Very well! Then speak up, so thc jury can hear you. Now, sir, what is your inter est in this case ?” with a significant look at thc jury. “I have no interest in it,” replies the wit ness. The attornoy looks horrified at the total depravity of the witness. He glances at the jury again ; as much as to say, “Gentleman, did you ever behold such turpitude ?” and then goes on speaking deliberately, and em phasizing every word with a beck of his fore finger : “Do you swear, sir, before this jury, and in the presence of this court, and on your solemn oath that you have no interest in this case ?” “Yes, sir,” says Brown, blushing. “ Yes, you have, or yes you have not ?” “I have not.” “Haven't you confessed within the week to three different parties that yon have an interest?” “ Xo, sir,” replied Brown, trembling, and trying to think if he has uttered a word that could be tortured into such an admission. “ Your swear before this jury,” says the attorney, “that you never talked about this matter ?” “I did not say I had not talked, replied the witness. Ah, ha ! Then 3'ou have talked I” exclaim ed the attorney. “ I thought I could refresh your recollection.” “I on!}’’ said— ** continues the witness, de siring to explain ' but he is stopped abrupt ly. . ** Never mind what you said, sir, when I want to know what 3'on said T will inquire of yon. I understand you have talked about the matter. Is that right ?” “I simpty talked—” “Will 3'ou please answer question ?” thnnders the attorney. Have you talked, or have \*on not ? Yes or no.” “Yes but—” “That will do; you need not go on, sir. That i3 ample. At last 3’on admit that you, a witness, in this case, have been around the town discussing the matter ! I>o yon think that is the proper thing, sir, for a witness to do ?” The witness, abashed and humiliated, re mains silent. “Will vein answer, sir?” continues the lawv’cr, threateningly. “Do yon come be fore this jury, expecting to be believed, while admitting that you have made this case the subject of hope and fear, and discussing it on the street ?” The witness tries to explain, hut is told to stand down, and leaves the box feeling that in some way he has lieen made to appear like a rascally perjurer, when he is as abso lutely free from bias or prejudice as the most disinterested spectator in the room. Any one who is at all familiar with our courts will see that the above is a ver}’ faint picture of the badgering to which witnesses are subject ed. Indeed, a man giving his testimony might think he had escaped very easity if he met with nothing worse than this, and yet the imputations contained in the above would be resented with a blow in any other place than the courts. Such attacks arc cowardly and disgraceful, and still they, are permitted and winked at by our judges. We call upon the latter to begin the correction of this scan dalous imposition. It is as much their duty to protect witnesses from gratuitous insult as it is to protect innocent men from unmer ited punishment. —New Haven Register. $ TERMS. $2.00 PER ANNUM. ( SI.OO FOR SIX MONTHS. Massacre by the Indians. General Custer Killed at the Head o f His CoU umn—Thrge Fifteen Soldiers MBtkIJLM! Tp X JtBU&Sm Washington, July 6.—Gen. .Hancock ar rived this morning, it is supposed for con sultation over the terrible situation of affairs in the Indian couhtfV. There has been no oflicial account of tlje following disaster which seems wetl confirmed : General Custer found the Indian camp of twenty-five lodges on the Little Horn, and immediately attacked with five companies, charging into the thickest of the camp. Noth* ing is known of the operations of this detach ment after the charge, as they were only traced by their dead. Major Reno attacked the lower part of the camp with the seven remaining companies. Custer, his two brothers, a nephew and broth er-in-law, with about three hundred, were kill ed. Only thirty-one were wounded. Two hundred and seven men were buried in one place. The Indians surrounded Reno's seven companies and held them in the hills one day away from water. Gen. Gibbons* command then came in sight, and the Indians broke camp and went away in the night. The rem nant of the Seventh Cavalry and Gibbons' command returned to the month of the Little Horn, where there is a steamboat. The In dians got the arms of the killed soldiers.— Seventeen commissioned officers were killed. The whole of the Custer family died at the head of the columns. Another account says the battle was fought on the 25th. thirty or forty miles below Little Horn. Custer attacked a village of 2,500 to 4,000 warriors on one side, and Col, Reno on the other. (Jen. Custer's fifteen officers and every man of the five companies were killed. Reno retreated under protection of the re serves. The whole number killed is 315.—■ Gen. Gibbons has joined Reno. The dead are much mutilated. Lieutenant Crittenden, a son of Gen. Crittenden, was killed. CONFIRMATION. Chicago, July 6.—A dispatch confirming the report of Gen. Custer’s fight on the Little Horn river has just been received at General Sheridan’s headquarters. Some Modern Sayings. i Honesty is the best policy unless you can get about one hundred thousand dollars and settlement at fifty per cent. Honor thy father and thy mother, particu larly about circus time when you don’t know where to raise twentj’-five cents. Never go in debt when you can avoid ft. It is better to go snubbing around in a broad cloth coat than to be in debt to your tailor for a suit of Scotch mixed. Love thj' neighbor as thyself. Harrow his plow, hoc or horse whenever you can ; but if lie wants to borrow yours, tell him that you are sorry, that yon were jnst going to use them yourself. Re guarded in yonr conversation. There are times when you may freely express your opinion on a political candidate, but you had better wait until his friends are over in- the next county visiting. Respect old age. If you have a maiden aunt thirty-three years old and she is passing herself for a girl of twenty, there is- no- ex cuse for you to expose her. The more' you respect her age and keep still about it,, the more she will respect you. Never marry for wealth, but remember that it is just as easy to love a girl who- has a brick house, with raarroswd roof and silver- plated door bell, as one who l has- an auburn head and an angelic disposition. Remember that appearances arc often de ceitful. Many a pale, thin* young lad3’ will eat more corned beef than a blacksmith.. Be cause you find her in the house playing the piano, it is no sign that her mother is- not at the corner grocery running in debt for a peck of potatoes. A Rebuke. The following is related of the late Walter T. Colquitt, one of Georgia’s greatest men ir bis day. lie was a strong Methodist, fervent in prayer and zealous in the class-meeting, bnt he would frolic with the children. On one occasion he was found by his pre siding elder playing marbles with his boys, lie was a proficient in the game, and the boys all delighted to get him on their side. The presiding elder was one of the straight-faced, long-faced kind, who “crucified the flesh” in ever}’ possible way, and who believed that playing marbles was a great sin. The elder, whose name we believe was Hodges, rebuked Mr, Colquitt for his course, but the great law yer kept on with his game. Finally Mr. Hodges sail, “Brother Colquitt, I fear that I shall hare to bear witness against yoa at the great court of high Heaven,” and turned to go off, when Colquitt said, “ hold 011 a mo ment, parson, just step into my law office, and I will take down your interrogatories in the case, for fear von might not be at the court.” A married man says that there is a great deal in the expression of a back comb to de note the state of the domestic atmosphere. When his wife's comb nestles quietly in its proper place, all is well with him ; but when it is lifted and leans forward, he says: Look out for squalls. NUMBER 6.
