property. After a thorough searcli of the

lle horse was found tied to a tree on the

The Southern Case.
ITS PRESENTATION TO THE GOVERNOR.
Wra. H. Simmons and Carey W. Styles, of
Canton, two of the counsel for Catharine
Southern, yesterday laid the case of the con
demned woman before his Excellency Gov.
Colquitt, and made their appeal for a commu
tation of her sentence. Gov. Colquitt said
he would take up the case on Monday (to
morrow) and dispose of it promptly. Col.
Styles, we learn, was emphatic in his convic
tions, and asked for a full pardon. lie has
been among the neighborhood where the hom
icide was committed, and is probably thor
oughly posted in the case, and that he is earn
est and conscious in his convictions of Cath
arine Southern’s innocence of crime, thero
can be no doubt. lie bronght with him to
the Governor a full transcript of the record
and various affidavits showing the character
of the woman, and important facts not known
at the trial. The case made by the State,
and developed through these affidavits, is
quite different from that heretofore published
in the newspapers, and when made public, it
is claimed, will satisfy the public that Kate
Southern is entitled to the fullest clemency
of the pardoning power. We shall lay the
entire testimony before our readers as soon
as propriety will allow, and will give both
sides of the case impartially.— At. Cons'.

The Congress Who Are to Investigate the
Great Fraud.
Washington, May 20. —The House of Rep
resentatives was called to order by Mr. Say
ler (Dem., Ohio,) as speaker pro tern., who
announced the appointment by Speaker Ran
dall of the committee, under Mr. Clarkson
N. Potter's resolution, to investigate the
frauds in the Presidential election of 1876.
The committee are the following named :
Democrats—Clarkson N. Potter, of New
York ; William R. Morrison, of Illinois ; Eppa
Hunton, of Virginia ; John \ WoMaimn. of
, K. Cobb, of Indiana ; J. C. S.
Blackburn, of Kentucky.
Republicans—Benjamin F. Butler, of
Massachusetts ; Thomas B. Reed, of Maine ;
Frank Hiscock, of New York ; J. D. Cox of
Ohio.
A Terrible Case.
Twelve persons in Elk Garden, Russell
county, Va M have been poisoned, four fatally,
by eating stolen butter baited with strych*
nine. Mrs. Martha Micalitor, the wife of a
prominent farmer in that section, keeps a
dairy, and, having been much annoyed of late
by thieves who stole large quantities of butter,
site put strychnine in all the rolls of a certain
firkin and placed it where it might be conven
ienly stclen. It was promptly taken, but,
instead of eating it and dying themselves,
the thieves sold it. scattering it broadcast
over the country. Mr. Jackson, a prominent
planter, bought several pounds of the butter
and placed it on the table at tea, when a dozen
partook of it, four of whom—Andrew, Joseph
and James Jackson, three brothers, and Miss
Alice Gatewood, a young county belle visiting
there —died a few hours after, three others
being taken dangerously ill. The county is
greatly excited over the affair, and if the
thieves Could be found, they would be speedi
ly lynched. „
UsTWe obtain the following sketch from
the Savannah Nen:s\:
“ Gen. E. P. Alexander, the newly elected
President of the Georgia Railroad, is but
forty-three years of age, but has already made
his mark in many ways. He is a native of
\\ ilkes county, Georgia, and graduated with
high honors at West Point. He was in com
mand of the post at Puget Sound when the
war broke out, but hastened home and enter
ed the Confederate service. He succeeded
General Stephen D. Lee in command of that
battalion of artillery that was always in the
front in the Army of the Potomac. By con
tinued promotions he became Chief of Artil
lery of Lee's army. After the war be served
with great credit as Professor of Mathematics
in the South Carolina University, but aband
doned his chair when it fell into Radical
hands. Since then he lias been engaged in
railroading, being at the time of Ids recent
election the President of the Western Rail
road of Alabama.”
The Potter resolution for the investigation
of the election frauds in Louisiana and Flor
ida was passed by the House yesterday. It
was a victory for the Democrats. All Demo
crats who on Monday last were either absent
or paired, returned and aranged for their pairs
to be ended, and this gave them a quorum in
the House. Not a single Republican vote
was recorded for the measure, and only two
Democrats, Messrs- Miles, of Texas, and
Morse, of Massachusetts, voted against it.
During the course of the discussion, quite an
exciting scene occurred. Mr. Goode, of
Virginia, stated that he had been paired with
Mr. Lorin, of Massachusetts, who was absent
sick, but that he had informed Mr. Loring
that he wished his pair broken, and, under
the circumstances, ho felt it his duty to vote.
Conger, of Michigan, sneeringly remarked
that it was only a question of honor, where
upon Mr. Goode stated that he would take
care of his own honor, and if Conger assailed
it he (Goode) would hold him to a personal
responsibility. The Speaker was appealed
to, but ho sustained Mr. Goode, with the
remark that “You could as soon expect a
child not tot scream when struck, as to
expect a man not to resent and insult when
offered him.”

The Case of Bishop McCoskrv. — It is
officially announced that Bishop MoCoskry.
of Michigan, lias withdrawn his letter o!
resignation, and that in consequence Lhmeuior
Bishop has recalled his summons for the
Bishops to meet on the 17th of Juno. The
letter of Bishop McCoskry to the presiding
Bishop (who is at present in New York) i>
also published, bearing date the 4th of this
month. It says lie is anxious to vindicate
his character. solem 11 ly reiterates his emphatie
denial of all the scandalous allegations
against him, and is prepared to stand his
trial in accordance with the canons, and that
lie has deferred his journey to Europe for that
purpose. Bishop McCoskry says as soon as
his character is attained his resignation will
be renewed, because of his increasing physi
cal infirmities. This remands the whole mat
ter now to the Diocese of Michigan, upon
which devolves the duty of presenting charges
to the House of Bishops, should they deem it
incumbent upon them to do so.
Representative Schleicher proposes to
push through his bill for the completion of
the public buildings. It provides for the sale

$75,000 is to be appropriated for the comple

** Who is greatest i.i the Kingdom of Heaven?”
It is the policy of public prints to discourage
obituaries of little children ; whether wisely, 1
can not say. I onU know that the bud oft bears
a far richer perfume than the laded flower; and
the newly launched bark carries a nobler freight
than the grand old ship which outrides the storms
and struggles into port with empty hull.
Yes! obituaries should contain a lesson. Is
not this title page, “Of such is the Kingdom,”
and a pure blank a far better lesson than a full
volume all blotted and blurred? Is not child
hood's primmer wiser than an “ Age of Reason”?
“Gussie” was pure and good ; what more could
the oldest Christian be ? She was kind and gentle
to her associates : can our biographer say as much
for us? She was very young; only seven last
February; still she, every day. shed sunshine
around the hearth, and contributed much to the
“ Love at Home.”
How many long biographies record only the sad
barter of all the heart and home treasures for the
empty fame and pelf of the world. What purer
and more beautiful lesson can we find than that
of child life without a stain? What simpler or
grander one than in the Master's words, “Except
ye become as little children*’?
The world may not miss this little darling ; but
they miss her at home. ’Tis only a little pebble
dropped into the vast ocean, but it sent the bil
lows deep over the parent hearts. The vacant
place may not be great, but all earth can not till
it. The parents are told they should not mourn,
but “Jesus wept” over the death of Lazarus.
Never did a little angel glide from earth more
gently. True, she did not. a-s the old, carry away
much of the past, but with her departure there
faded, oh I so much ef the future from her moth
er’s life. At home, the loss of the young is often
far saddest; for it is much better to hold a bud
of promise than tlie faded leaves of a withered
life. The kmger paths are very intricate and their
end very uncertain: hence it was, no doubt, bet
ter for Gussie to leave them untried; but across
the spectrum of some life, there lies a dark line
now, where all was bright before. Some play
mate misses a merry helper, and some old teacher,
who could ill spare it, misses his game of “ tag”
on the way to school and a happv *• bo peep” from
behind a tree. Ah, well! she will stand by the
gfflte and watch for somebody: and that will make
somebody better here. She and the little brother
are brightening the home which the Master has
prepared for the family.
She had just opened her great wondering eyes
on the mysteries of books : but she is in a college
now where the Great Teacher presides; and her
old teacher may And some day that she has far
outstripped him. Her parents have much treasure
