Ann Eliza, Brigham’s nineteenth,
has been denied thessoo per month al
imony, by Chief Justice Lowe. He
says she entered into bigamy with
the old reprobate while fully cogni
zent of the relation, and that the
granting of the alimony would give
a legal sanction to an illegal re
lation. We guess Ann Eliza doesn’t
feel quite as jubilant as she did some
time ago. She was building largely
upon the amount of money she ex
pected the old prophet would dis
gorge to her. She had better extend

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The singns of the times, the eclipse
of violent partisanship, the moral
force of centennial celebrations, the
upheaval of patriotism evoked by
recurrence to memories of the olden
time—all these influences are begin
ning, even now, to be recognized.
Therefore the groundlessness of ap
prehension suggesting the excitation
of disgust among European visitors
who may come hither next year in
the very midst of the disgraceful
President struggle. There has been
enough of sectionalism, enough of
Sheridanism, injected into American
politics, and the people gladly recur
to first principles. We therefore pre
dict the nomination and election of
some man whose personal virtues
and abilities and learning are great,
but whose partisanship has been dis
tingushed by moderation and wis
dom. He will be a Democrat, but
not of the Radical, Red Republican
Democracy. His learning must be
profound, his genius for tasks of
statesmanship unquestioned, his per
sonal character as spotless as his
deeds illustrious. There are few
such men in America, and we can
name just now but one, Sanford E.
Church, the majestic Chief Justice of
the State of New York.
THE ALABAMA CORRUPTIONS.
There has never been in the history
of the Republic, perhaps, a record
of so much cold-blooded corruption
and villainy as that contained in the
synopsis of the testimony of a person
named Barber before the committee
appointed by the Alabama Legislature
to investigate the election of Spencer
to the United States Senate. The
record of carpet-bag crime in Louis
iana and other Southern States seems
to be as nothing compared to it. It
is absolutely unparalleled; and
when we remember that the authors
of and participators in these crimes,
whereby the State of Alabama was
robbed by her people plundered
of their rights and substance, and
misrepresented, are still allowed to
move unmolested among those
whom they have wronged, we can
only wonder at the patience and for
bearance of the outraged citizens of
that State.
In the light of the testimony pub
lished one can easily see the reasons
that influenced Mr. Attorney General
Williams to propose a compromise
between the two opposing Legisla
tures. It would not seem that the
programme of Spencer was not only
known and approved by the Admin
istration, but also by the satrap Ter
ry. Democratic campaign documents
are accumulating.
THE ADMINISTRATION’S PERSECU
TIONS OF DOUGLASS.
Kick a man when he is down,
seems to be the Administration poli
cy toward ex-Commissioner Douglass
of the Internal Revenue Department.
We are promised the early revela
tion of enormous whisky frauds, and
the discharged official is to be made
the scapegoat responsible for all the
rascalities unearthed. We are told
that Secretary Bristow secretly made
a well-planned investigation into the
workings of the revenue department
and soon “found enough to convince
him that, if Douglass was not a very
corrupt man, a veritable tool of the
ring itself.’’ Hence his dismissal,
and now that he is dismissed, we first
hear of his son drawing $2,500 a
year on the government pay-rolls
while praticing law in Philadelphia.
We are told that when collector of
internal revenue at Erie, Pa., a de
falcation of $95,000 occurred in his
office and that he is to-day be
hind $15,000 in his accounts. That
the party of moral ideas should de
light to publish these things is cu
rious, when we remember that Com
missioner Douglass possessed more
influence with the last Congress and
was more trusted by the party man
agers than his financial superior, Sec
retary Bristow. The fact that Doug
lass is a relative of Speaker Blaine,
and that the latter is looming up as
a Presidential rival, may posibly ex
plain the tactics of the Administra
tion.
The question in New York just
now is, “who got that salt?” The
salt came over in sacks in the hold
ofthe British ship Niagara. Between
decks were a hundred barrels of ar
senic. The voyage was a rough one,
and things got pretty well mixed,
and when a cargo was discharged it
was found that the arsenic was mix
ed with the salt. Before the discov
ery was made, however, the com
pound had already been sent to the
consignees in the country, and, al
though they were promptly notified
by telegraph to withhold it from sale,
it will be a long time before the peo
ple leave off regarding the salt-cella r
with suspicion. The unsavory salt
will, no doubt untimately find em
ployment on some city railway in
winter or perhaps iu the domestic
ice cream freezer, increasing only
slightly the dangers of summer. A
panic on the subject is scarcely nec
essary, but the idea which this affair
conveys to us of the care and dis
crimination w T ith which ships’ car
goes are often packed is in the high
est degree reassuring.
It has been given out that the last
act of Attorney General Wiliam’s of
ficial life was to order the discontin
uance of all prosecutions pending in
the South under the Enforcement act.
There seems to be some mistake
about the matter, as a Washington
telegram to the Chicago Tribune , a
Republican organ, says, under date
of may 9: “Officers in the Southern
States have recently been removed
for their neglect to carry out orders
with respect to this act, as well as for
general inefficiency. It is not many
weeks since instructions have been
sent to Southern officials to carefully
execute this law.”
It is with feelings of the deepest
regret that w r e read, in our exchanges,
the reports of the health of Gen. J.
C. Breekenridge—our beau ideal of
a perfect man. Telegrams from Lou
isville, Kentucky, of the 12th inst.,
represent him as sinking very rap
idly, and state that his death may be
expected at any moment; we trust
a favorable turn may bo experienced
in his disease, and that he may yet
live many years to gladden the hearts
of his friends. Our idea of General
Breekenridge is that, next to Gen. R.
E. Lee, ho comes nearer being per
fection than any human being who
has existed on the face of the earth
during the last fifty years, at least.
It is thought that the General’s liver
was injured by a blow received du
ring the war by a fragment of a
shell, and that his present suffering
is due entirely to that cause. An ex
periment has been performed upon
him by skilful physicians, but it is
feared no good result will come of it.
We shall look with fear and trem
bling to future telegrams.
Our worst fears have been realized.
The great and good man is dead!
Ben Perley Poore is the last strag
gler from the buccaneer Mexican ex
cursion. He reports no indication
of yellow fever at Vera Cruz, and
brings “important” dispatches to
the government from the Minister
at tliat city of Mexico. We have
know B. P. P. for twenty years, and
can well understand that the docu
ments referred to were put up to cover
his expenses back to Washington.
From having been the most im
pecunious of Bohemians he has
grown fat and rich on this sort of
thing. —Nashville Union & American .
Yes, says the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger , times have wonderfully
changed with Ben since he gave that
negro ball at Athens, and had to
leave between two suns to save him
self from a public demonstration.
Had it not been for the kind offices
of a well known citizen of this city—
then resident of Athens —who took
pittyon him, Ben might have en
joyed a free ride on a very sharp
backed horse, and a unique, but rath
er close fitting suit of clothes—if
nothing worse. We wonder if lie
ever talks of this southern “outrage”
now-a-days.
The Beecher trial is proving to be a
pretty expensive luxury to Plymouth
Church, if, as is asserted, Mr. Evarts
is in their employment. It is said
that they have agreed to give him
two hundred and fifty dollars, per
day, during the time the trial lasts.
As that trial has now been on the
carpet for more than three months,
this makes his pay up to this time
about $30,000. On the other hand,
it is said the lawyers on the Tilton
side of the house give their legal
services for the love of the man. Be
sides Evarts, Tracy of course must
come in for a very liberal fee. He is
not the style of man who is likely to
do his sort of work without, at least,
expecting to receive very liberal pay
for it. Altogether Me think the nasti
ness is costing a great deal of money,
whicn might be spent on a more
worthy object.
King Kalakaua, of the Sandwich
Islands, will send his feathered cloak
to the Centennial Exposition at Phil
adelphia. This article will represent
more labor than any other that will
be on exhibition. Its manufacture
was commenced over a hundred
years ago, under the auspices of some
of the ancestors of Kamehameha,the
first King of the islands, and upward
of fifty years of time was required
for its completion'. It is made of the
feathers of a peculiar species of bird
—each bird furnishing only two feath
ers, one from under each Ming. In
size the cloak is a little over a square
yard, and its color is a golden yel
low. It used to be worn by the King
on State occasions. Of late years it
serves only to adorn the reception
room of the palace.
The old standing dispute about the
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia, w r hich has been kept alive
from colonial days on account of the
valuable oyster-beds in question,
has at length been submitted to arbi
tration, by consent of two Legisla
tures. J udge Jere. S. Black has been
selected on behalf of Maryland and
Gov. Graham, of North Carolina,
acts for Virginia. These two have
selected as third arbitrator Gov. Jen
kins, of Georgia. Both sides will be
represented by counsel before this
court of arbitration. It was to meet
at W ashington last Monday, and the
negligent Associated Press agent at
that point will doubtless telegraph
when he hears the news.
Ex-Senator Pratt, who has been
appointed Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, makes the eighteenth
member of the last Congress who
supported the force bill and failed to
secure a re-election, who has been
given an office by the President. As
Douglass was officially told that his
resignation was not demanded on ac
count of any disapproval of his acts,
there can be no other reasonable in
ference than that his place w’as want
ed to relieve one of “the faithful”
whom the people had no further use
for.
A lady was seized in a thorough
fare in New York by a white ruffian
and robbed of her pocket-book. He
obtained eighteen years imprison
ment. A lady was robbed in Wash
ington City before her doors, by a ne,
gro ruffian, who seized her violently
and rifled her of her pocket-book.
He was arrested. Her friends, after
waiting some time to know what dis
position would be made of the case,
called on the District Attorney and
was informed that the case was dis
missed and the robber discharged.
So much, says the Raleigh News , for
being of the right color in party eyes.
Stafford, Purifoy and Orange, the
Atlanta negro murderers, are to be
hung on the 14th day of June (next

Nothing so completely disgusts the
Columbus Times as to hear the con
tinued prayer, on the part of certain
Southern men, for forgiveness. Their
cry is a steady one, and it amounts
to an insipid bootlicking,that can only
be considered infamous. They beg
the North to forgive them, and nev
er think of taking the decided stand
that we have done nothing to be
ashamed of. They fail to recollect
that M 7 e can accept the situation, and
be consistent; but for fear they M ill
not go far enough,they want to apol
ogize for their past conduct, and en
ter, a pledge of loyalty for life. We
are not disloyal in the slightest degree
hut loyalty does not consist in sacri
ficing your self-respect and dignity.
The olive branch of peace properly
comes from the victors, and not from
the vanquished. The defeated only
show their want of self-respect by a
studied effort to be too loyal all of a
sudden. It does not seem becoming
in our eyes that, M'hile we arc flat on
our hack, with the heel of our con
queror pressing upon our neck, we
should show a gushing and enthusi
astic love for him ; and uhenever he
lifts his foot to rest, that we should
go into raptures over his great kind
ness and consideration. The South
met her fate bravely at Appomattox,
Virginia ; hut to-day she is frequent
ly disgraced by some few of her half-
May soldiers playing the obsequious,
aud toadying to the Northern suprem
acy and codfish aristocracy.”
We agree with Fontaine on this
subject. The cringing sycophancy of
some of our Southern-horn people is
petfectly sickening. Out upon any
Southern man Mho will admit that
he was wrong in the late conflict be
tween the sections, we have no respect
for him, and believe none but a base
wretch would bootlick the Northern
powers for the sake of a petty office.
That is the main reason of our in
tense love and respect for Jno. C
Breekenridge—he would notacknow
ledge that he was wrong, that he
might have his civil rights restored
to him.
It is thus that the Milwaukee
News, with iconoclastic malignancy,
would wipeout the. remnant of pat
riotism from the American people:
“Abner Robinson, of Newburyport,
has pointed to a gun over his fire
place for several years, and said each
time : ‘That’s the M'eppin my old
dad carried at Lexington.’ The oth
er day utthe celebraiton, the Mayor
of the town went to investigating
matters, and after a M T hile he found
that the gun M’as a breech-loader of
the present day, and that Abner’s
dad had died of black measles in the
State prison, and then Abner crawl
ed under the barn and wouldn’t
come out till the next morning.”
The approach of the centennial is
divulging a great deal of spurious
patiriotism in the vicinity of the
revolutionary battlefields.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times (Rad.) states
that at the Cabinet consultation, the
other day, the name of Butler was
suggested for Attorney General by
Grant himself. The appointment
was strongly objected to by tM 7 o mem
bers, and M'ho carried their objec
tion so far as to intimate that if he
was appointed they would not re
main in the Cabinet. Thereupon,
the President said he M r ouid select
some person satisfactory to every
member of his Cabinet, although he
considered Gen. Butler eminently
fitted for the position.
The Brazilian Emperor speaks to
the Chambers very favorably of the
prospects of his vast dominions, both
in its internal and external relations.
The most interesting foreign topic is
his hope that the Pope would recog
nize the necessity which compelled
the government to interfere with the
Roman Catholic Bishops in two di
oceses, hut if he does not the Legisla
ture must attend to the matter. Evi
dently he believes Brazil quite com
petent to attend to Brazilian matters
without outside assistance.
The Atlanta Constitution says
“The proposition of Counsellor Mur
ray, of Griffin, to send the negroes,
to Africa, does not read well along
side of the latest report of the Amer
ican colonization society. That in
defatigable organization could only
induce tM 7 enty-seven negroes to leave
America during the past year, and it
costs 19,800,25 to land them in Li
beria. The negroes do not hanker
after the land of their fathers. They
are not enthusiastic colonizationists.
A Boitung Lake.—A boiling lake
has lately been discovered in the Is
land of Dominica, or Dominique, one
ofthe lesser Antilles. The lake is
situated in the forest-covered moun
tain back of the town of Roseau. It
is 2,500 feet above the sea, and is
said to be two miles in circumference.
The margin of the lake consists of
beds of sulphur, and its overflow
finds exit iu a waterfall of great
height.
Writing from New Orleans, Mr.
Nordhoff mentions, as an illustration
of what’ the Louisiana tax-payers
have endured, that the Legislature
of 1569, which sat a month, cost the
State $900,000. Each member is
said to have pocketed $7,000 for the
session, and It is related that a sin
gle committee of the House had
eighty-seven clerks, who were paid
$lO a day each.
What are we to think of Beecher
now, when, after denying it himself
and trying to prove that he was not
in New York on the day Mrs. Moul
ton told that he made his celebrated
confession to her and threatened to

tory proof has been introduced to
show that he was seen to leave Moul
ton’s house on that day ?
►Since we have learned that the

She was on her way to Melbourne in
Australia, with one hundred and
twenty-five persons on board, only
twenty-two ofwhomare known to be
saved.
TUNNELING THE BRITISH CHANNEL.
A concession has at last been grant-;
ed by the French Assembly to M. j
Michel Chevalier, a noted mining en
gineer and political economist of dis- j
tinetion, to undertake the channel
tunnel between France and England,
an experimental society, with a cap- ,
ital of SBOO,OOO, has been formed to i
determine the probabilities of the en- j
terprise. M. Chevalier anticipates !
that the work of driving a tunnel |
will be most easy, since in all human j
probability it will traverse a very
thick layer of chalk. The track of!
the cable will be followed as nearly!
as possible from the east of Dover to
the west of Calais, and at each end a
well will be dug 127 metres, or over
400 feet below the live waters of the
high seas, whence perforation of the
sub marine solid about two hundred
feet below the bottom of the strait
will be commenced. A gallery of
approach, two metres in diameter,
will be commenced, and if success
fully completed the tunnel will be
made. The experimental gallery
complete will cost $5,000,000; the tun
nel and the road complete will cost
$50,000,000. No blasting will be re
sorted to, but a very powerful ma
chine is to be employed, which will
eat its way from end to end of the
course in two years. Ventilation will
bo procured, as in other tunnels, by
an injectson of compressed air. Evi
dently the terrors of the English
Channel are taking their place among
the ogres of the past. Science has
attacked the monster, and its capitu
lation to anti-seasick steamers, life
dresses antisubmarine tunnels is but
a question of time. —Savannah Adver
tiser.
What a blessing to woman is Amer
ican liberty. Alexander Delmar,
the celebrated statistician says, and
says truly, that “you cannot travel
anywhere upon the continent of Eu
rope without beholding in the fields
sights which bring a blush upon the
cheek of American manhood. In the
beautiful lands where nature has
shed her fairest blessings, you can
see the women, coarse-handed and
large-boned, turned to men, toil
ing from early sun to night-fall, en
during exposure and hardship
which soon rob them of all charms,
turning them into ugly, coarse, re
pulsive beings, whose only thought
is how to live ; whose only hope, to
die.”
Fashionable clergymen have com
menced their hacking cough, in an
ticipation of being sent to Europe
this summer for the benefit of their
health.
