THE CARROLL COUNTY TIMES.
TOOMBS AND RYNDERS. .
HOW A DEBT WAS PAID AND A PRES
IDENT ELRCTED.
During the earlier days of Capt.
Isaiah Kinder?, wh<> died a few
days since in New York city, and
when he made sporting excursions
throughout the South, mis-cbance,
sajs the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, wrecked him in War
renton, Ga.
The cards had run unluckily,
for ;; Hush sport rarely collides
with the law, and the Captain
found himself facing an indict
inent for dealing faro, with no
ftii nds on the jury panel, and no
counsel standing between him :ind
the prosecuting attorney. Robert
loonibs, then a young attorney,
who rode the circuit in which War
ren county was letubraccd, was at
court, and espoused the cause of
the friendless gatnolcr.
So skilfully did he conduct the
ease that Capt. Rynders escaped
with no punishment more severe
than a nominal tine and a repri
mand from the presiding Judge.
Council and client parted at the
Court house door, the gambler
promising to redeem the obligation
—the young counsel Hushed with
triumph, putting away the effusive
thanks with a lordly air.
1 ears rolled by, and Toombs
had become a prominent member
of the Whig party and a leading
member of Congtess, and Capt.
Ryndcr with his Empire Chib was
a power in the politics in New
1 ork city on the Democratic side.
After the Mexican war it will be
remembered that a movement was
made by Bailie Peyton and other
Whig leaders of the South to nom
inate Gen. Taylor for the Presiden
cy. It was met by the prompt and
intense opposition of Mr. Clay,
who ruled his party with an iron
rod, and who had a following as
powerful and devoted as that now
numbered by Blaine. New York
citv then as now, was the political
centre, from which all political
movements radiated. It was of
the highest importance that a Tay
lor boom be inaugurated at that
point, but the leaders of the Whig
party of the city, who were parti
sans of Mr. Clay, sncccsfully resis
ted any attempt to accomplish this.
Every speaker that was sent thei'e
was publicly received, wined and
dined and greeted by a large meet
ing, but so soon as he attempted
to set forth the merits and claims
of General Taylor, he was silenced
by hoots, yells, cat-calls, whistles
and all the appliances known to be
effective in breaking down a public
speaker.
At length Mr. Toombs was select
ed to lead the forlorn hope. When
he arrived in New York and an
nounced his purpose, Mr. Grinnell
and the leading Whigs assured him
that his mission would be a fruit
less one. He kept his counsel and
his temper and retired to his hotel,
the Astor House, from which he
addressed a ’note to Gapt. Ryn
ders.
The summons speedily brought
the Captain. Toombs told of his
mission and its difficulties, and in
voked his assistance. /‘Come
down," said the Captain, “and see
the boys.”
Toombs was carried down to the
headquarters of the Empire Club,
was introduced with proper com
mendation by the Captain, and ov
er a friendly glass all round, ac
companied by cigars, the campaign
was laid.
“lou shall speak as long as you
want to," said Hie Captain, “or I
and my boys will know the icason
why you can't.” Cautioning
Toombs to bandy with the crowd
for a while that night, they part
ed.
The hall was filled to overflow

of the Whig leaders, but promi

and here and there the most fear

one of these bore a piece of chalk
and was instructed to mark the
backs of all who were engaged in
uisturbing the speaker. Toombs
was introduced regularly and pro
ceeded with his exordium. When
he referred to General Taylor, a
din arose as though bedlam had
broken loose. Toombs coolly re
'ceived the angry ovation, and re

mounted a chair and with the voice
of a Stentorian shouted: “Put out
the chalk backs! d-m them; put
them out, and sieizing-a burly
lo.igh he proceeded to execute the
order. In a moment the fellows
who had been trained and hired to
put down Taylor were sprawling
upon the sidewalk, with torn cloth
es, battered hats and bruised faces.

hall, and 1 oombs proceeded with
his fiery eloquence, to advocate the
claims of “Old Rough and Ready,”
He caiiied the audience by storm,

•An Idyl that Points to a Moral.
(Cuthbert Enterprise &, Appeal.
Chicago, December 26.—For
give me, please, for a bit of ro
mantic indulgence. It is not
strictly news, but serves just here
to “point a moral and adorn a
tale. It is one of lhe idyls of my
boyhood—a sunny piece of poetry,
green-hilled and blue skyed, among
my child memories. A lad of
eleven years, I went to school at
the academy in the quiet, Quaker
town of Macedon, Wayne county,
New York, a village of white cot
tages and rustic simplicity. The
people there were gentle and fru
gal and most of their homes were
old. We lived with “Uncle Ira”
and “Aunt Dianthy,” (good old
souls, gone to their rest these many
years) in a house their father had
built. There, beside my open win
dow, looking out on the Quaker
meeting-house, I first read “Grey’s
Elegy in a Country Chnruh-yard.’’
In autumn when the apple s fell, I
sat beneath the orchard’s shade and
munched and gazed, big cved and
dreamy, along the winding- road to
the brick house on the hill. There
lived a red-faced far nicr. whose
daughter I adored. She xvas my
first love—a midget ISJZiss of nine.
We first saw each other over the
tops of the pews in that same
Quaker church.
I had but one ri.val. I’ve for
gotten his name. I’ve of ten wish
ed 1 could recall it. He was my
dearest friend—a smiling, blue
eyed boy, with thick brown hair
and dressed in gray ; that is the
picture of him that Jias lingered in
my memory all these years. He
was a little older than J, a bit i
more forward, too ; knew a great
deal more than I—so I thought—
and was altogether, as I fondly
saw him, a little the boss and
brightest boy in all the ’►orld. A
vision of my love one dlay in a
'soiled sun-bonnet and her brother’s
copper toed boots di spelled my fan
cy for her, and no shade of jeal
ousy ever came between roy
friend and me. Our world was
bounded by the blue horizon that
rimmed the green hills ’round our
town. It was a world of never—
failinn pleasure to us both. We
lived in it always together, reading,
playing, devoted.
Suddenly it came to an end. He
went away one day in spring. I
have never seen him since His
parents moved to another town
“The Locks," I think. "We had
dimly heard of “The Locks,” 1
knew it was somewhere beside the
great canal, that’s all. It was Sun
day evening when we parted. His
father and mother had irone the
o
(lay before. He spent the last
night with me. We “slept togeth
er” —that crowning act of our
enile devotion. We went to the
Sabbath school, he bade good-by to
the teacher and we wandered .away
over the hills toward where we
were to part. We crossed “Old
Jolly's” farm, and stopped with
our elbows atop theffence r»il in
the lane to watch sheep nibble
the close clover. There
were a dozen villages hidden away
among the trees, and over beyond
the rolling farm lands. We did
not even know their names. Their
I
spires glistened in the setting sun.
We only knew the road he had to
take. We lookei^jnto each other's
eyes; we to lx?
each
other
away down one sido of the hill, I
down the other, and the last I saw
of him was his leather peaked cap
which he waved aloft as the hill
top rose detween us. That was
nearly twenty years ago, but I re
member now, as if it were to-day,
how the swelling tears drowned
the landscape from my sight as I
wandered home alone through the
gathering-shades of that Sunday
everring.

“Come, let’s step into Dun
ham’s,” said a friend of mine, as
we walked down Clark street the ■
other day. Dunham is a local pol
itician in a quiet way, more famed
however, for his “good, old brands”
than anything else. While my
friend took a drink I nibbled a bit j

him.
“Fifteen cents, sir,” said the bar
keeper.
His customer signified that he
had no more. The barkeeper swept
the dime into the till and turned
away. The man with the cane
drained the glass and as he sat
down, his eyes met mine. He wip
ed his month with the back of his
hand and looked again.
“Seems to me,” said he, “I’ve
seen you before.” He puzzled a
moment. “Ah!” said he, and his
hard face became lined with a smile

BAY A R D'S* HESITATION.
HE CAN .JT WELL AFE >RD TO BE-
C )ME SECRETARY OF STATE.
‘‘lf so, pity Tis, ’tij so."
Scnatoi Bayard, s<ys a Wash
ington special, could be the prem
ier of Cleveland’s cabinet but he
cannot afford to make’ the sacrifice
which he would .be compelled to do
if he became Secretary of State.
This fact ought to cause thought
ful men serious reflection. Mr.
Bayard is neither a rich nor a poor
man in the ordinary acceptation of
these terms. He has a modest in
come in addition to his salary as
Senator. His law practice yields
him a considerable sum annually,
and he has property which is in
creasing in value. As he now
lives he probably adds something
each year to his comparatively
small accumulations. He has a
large family, and by thrift and
economy he will *e able, should
no unforeseen misfortune overtake
him, to make some slight provis
ion for his children.
If he was to become Secretary of
State and serve in that capacity
four years he would go out of
office a bankrupt. Witli his old
fashioned notions of official pro
priety he could not practice his
profession (luting his term of office
This source of income would not
only be g°ne, but the practice it
self would be necessarily impaired.
It is preposterous to talk about the
Secretary of State living on the
salary. A quarter of a century
ago a cabinet officer could not live
on his salary. Judge Jeremiah S.
Black, when he was made Attor
ney General by Buchanan, had
practically no income outside the
salary of his office. He was a
plain, economical, unostentatious
gentleman, without extravagant
notions of any kind. His wife
was a mcdel housewife and his
family not extravagant. With the
most rigid economy his establish
ment while Attorney General
could be barely supported on his
I salary. A few months only in the
• State Depart men t, at a period less
> expensive than now, with far less
! requirements, practically
s bankrupted him. When he went
- out of office he was so poor that he
, accepted the appointment of repor
i ter of'the Supreme Court of the
I I nited States. His despondency
! was very gr?at. His extraordinary
genius and acknowledged great
abilities in his profession, of course
soon brought him a very lucrative
• practice. In this icspect the At
i toruey Generalship is different
i yrom all other cabinet positions.
■ It places its occupant in the first
rank of the legal profession if it is
worthily bestowed. An .ex-Attor
ney General who has distinguished
j himself in that office at once com-
I mands a large practice on his re- !
Mircment.
Cusfbni becomes law. The Sec- !
rotary of State must maintain a
social establishment which his sal
ary will not justify. It is well
enough to p’atc about republican '
simplicity, but it is no more possi- ■
ble to have it now than it would be ■
to institute and maintain Spartan 1
econoir.y in social and official life.
There is less state and less exclu
siveness to day than there was dur
ing the administration of Washing
ton and Adams. The expenses of
official life at the national cipital
arc far greater, of course,
than they were then, but not dis
proportionately so when all things
are considered.
Hom is of A Crican Slavery.
Mr. Stanley said in a recent lec- '
ture that the local history of the
Lower Congo must not be studied
too closely, and especially that of
the Boma, as it was altogether too
befouled with crime, unnatural ;
sins, and nameless atrocities sot
reputation. It was enough that it
kin led them to persevere in the
n.w and self imposed mission of *
endeavoring to rescue the Congo 1
from the chance of such a great
misfortune as Portugese rule
would be to that region, to which (
the International Association has '
attracted the attention of united
Europe. If Europe judged wisely 1
and well at the forthcoming Con *
ferencc, we might mark its date
down as the beginning of an era 1
of expansion and growth that per- j
baps should go unchecked till the
end of time. A slave trade was a i
great blight, which clung to Africa
like an aggravated pest, destroy
ing men faster than children could C
he born. He overtook a party of (
Arab marauders on the Con<io iu 1
November of last year, over 1,- ‘
200 miles from the sea. They bad C
utterly desolated a number of vil- 1
lagos mass.icared till the adult 1
males who had not at once fled,
and carried off the women and
children. He never saw such a
sight before: In a small camp
800 flighting men kept in manacles
and fetters, 2,300 naked woman
and children, their poor bodies en-
1 4-
crusted with dirt, all emaciated
and weary through much misery.
It was like ravening human ken- r
nels —a sight to make angels weep '
cruel enough to make strong men
curse and cry, “Vengeance on the
murderers.” Here was the net re (
suit of the burning of 118 villages ‘
and the devastation of 43 dis
tricts, to glut the avaricous soul
of a man who had constituted him
self chief of a district some 200
miles higher up. Though over
~_ r (
75 years old, here he was prose
cuting his murderous business, (
having shed so much human blood (
in three mouths that, if collected
into a tank, it might have sufficed
to drown hitnand all his thirty wives
and concubines. Those 2,300
slaves would have to be transported
over 200 miles in canoes, and
such as could not be fed would
die, and perhaps 800—perhaps
900—of all the number would
ever reach their destination.—
This was the latest story of
the slave trade in Africa, and his
object would be fully gained if he
could make his hearers sympa
thize with the work and aims of
the International Association.
“If vou would be truly’ happy }
my dear,” said one New York
: lad} to another, “you will have
; neither eyes nor ears when your
i husband co nes home hate frsm the
■ dub.” “Yes, I know,” answered
the other, wearily, “but what am I
to do with my nose?
THE SOUTHERN EXHIBITS.
The exhibits of the Southern
States at New Orleans arc attract
ting a good deal of attention from
Northern and Western visitors, lie
cause they show something tint
has not been very generally rec
ognized, viz: that the industries of
the South arc becoming greatlv
diversified.
In the Northern mind the im
pression is strong that the South
pays attention to little else than
cotton, sugar and rice. The
Southern exhibits, however, cor
rect this impression, and show
that, prominent as these products
are in the South, there arc other
sourczs of wealth which promise
in a very few years to bring the
South greater riches than ate ob
tained from cotton and sugar.
The extent of the mineral wealth
of the South is not understood ex
cept by a few. Pennsylvania can
not much longer maintain her su
premecy as a producer of iron and
coal. Even now Alabama iron
finds a market in Philadelphia.
Not long ago the coal used in
Southern cities was brought from
the North. The South now produ
ces her own coal. It is probable
that before another generation her
iron and coal productions will
equal, if they do not surpass, those
of the North.
Her growth in manufacturing
has been marvelous. She has 1,-
250,000 spindles now, ami this
number is certain to be largely in
creased eveiy year. The age of
iron ships has come, and why
should not the ship be built whore
the cheapest iron can be obtained?
The South is comparatively
bare o( railroads yet. In all the
Soul hern States, however, roads
arc projected, arid the work of con
structing them will be begun as
soon as the present period of busi-
nes depression passes.
The visitor at the exposition who
sees what great and varied sources
of wealth the South has returns to
his home with a very different idea
of the future of the South than
that which he previously enter
tained.
It must be remcmbeied,that this
is the first time that the South has
attempted a complete exhibit of
her wealth. She was hardly known
ac the centennial, and made but a
partial exhibit at either the Atlan
ta or Louisville fairs. Those who
only know the South of a quarter
of a century ago would hardly
recognize the South that appears
at New Orleans. There is an in
dustrial revolution going on—a
revolution that is producing the
most surprising results.

it is not yet known what loss has I
been sustained, but as two of the ’
books of county records were sto- p
len from a law office on the Wed- *

the removal of certain records was
the object in this instance.

Os forty-three letters received
by Hon. Henry R. Harris, some
days since, forty-one came from of
fice-seekers.

We are Sony to hear, from some
of our best farmers, that the wheat
and oat crops have been b ully in
jured by the severe weather.
The recent cold weather has
killed the fall sown oats. Don't
put your land in cotton because
they are killed. Either re-seed it
with oats or plant it in’eoru early
next spring.
Every manufacturing enterprise
in LaGrange pays a good dividend
Our giant oil mill is well managed
and is a remunerative investment
for its fortunate stockholders.—
With the revival of business, we
hope to sec other estblishments
begun.—Hhgansvilla correspon
dence.
The oil mid is now mak’ng 700
gallons cotton seed oil m twenty
four hours. Mr. Van Winkle, |
who has built most of the mills
in the cotton States, pronounces it
one of the best mills in the South
It makes an average of one gallon
of oil to eighteen ponnds of cake,
or about forty gallons of oil to the
ton of seed.
Col. 1 W Avery thus writes ibe
Augusta constitutionalist conceriL
ing an honored citizen of LaGaange
of Georgia: lam sorry to hear
that Col. W. O. Tuggle is in a dy
ing condition, at Thomasville-Geor
gia. He has developed consump
tion and his case is considered
hopeless. He has a wife and eight
children. Col. Tuggle has done
Georgia some good service as well
as advanced his own fortunes. He
collected a large claim for the
Sta f e. The greatest achievement
of this sort he performed was for
some "W estern Indiana, for whom
he collected a claim of several hun
dred thousand dollars, tbe free for
which made him independently rich
He developed his disease very sud
denly. It seems but yesterday that
I saw him in seemingly perfect
health and spirits. His energy
was remarkable, and he will leave
a pleasant memory among Jhu«
who knew him. ’
An Old Soldier’s
EXPERIENCE.
“ Calvert, Texas,
May 3,1832. .
‘ I wish to express my appreciation of the
valuable qualities of
Ayer's
as a cough remedy.
“ While With Churchill’s army, just before
the battle of Vicksburg, I contracted a se
vere cold, which terminated in a dangerous
lough. I found no relief till on our march
fre came to a country store, where, on asking
for some remedy, I was urged to try AyerW
Cherry Pectoral.
“1 did so, and was rapidly cured. Since
then ’ have kept the Pectoral constantly b,
me, ft.: family use, and 1 have found it to Id
aninv; 'uable remedy for throat and lung
discat . J. W. Whitley.”
Thons, is of testimonials certify to the
prompt c< o of all bronchial mid lung
affections, oy the use of Ayer’s CHERRY
Pectoral. Deing very palatable, the young
est children take it readily.
