WHITE & McINTOSH, Proprictois. VOLUME VIII A BIG SWINDLE. llow the Wall Street Magnares made a Catspaiv of Gen. J. V. Breckinridge. [Lexington, Ky. ( Oorresponfle Jce of the Cincin nati Enquirer.] A more barefaced swindle than this Big Sandy Railroad enterprise was per haps never perpetrated upon a confiding people. A few unprincipled speculators in New York, by reason of their connec tion with the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail road, succeeded in making the citizens of Lexington behove that a line of railroad would bo buflt from Elizabethtown through Lexington to the mouth of the Big Sandy river, to connect with the Chesapeake and Ohio road, if we would subscribe a quarter of a million of stock. The sharpers knew that someone influ ential with the people would haveto beem ployvd to convince them of the vast ben efits to be derived from the projected en terprise. The man selectedlfor the pur pose was Gen. John O. inridge, the most magnificent greenhorn in Kentucky to-day. The General, with a verdancy that I suppose was one of the css.:..tial qualifications of the President of the Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big Sandy Railroad, assured his fellow-citizens that he had every confidence in the integrity and financial ability of the New Yorkers who promised to build the road ! These fellows in the background bad subscribed 82,500,000. The General was certain that it was a bona fule subscription. Mr. Huntington, President of the Chesapeake, and Ohio Company, assured Gen. Breck inridge that such was the case, and tic General assured the people. Huntington •nulled the wires and the General danced; Bitterly his heart may not have been in j The exercise, but he went through the mo tions. The result of Gen. Breckinridge’s es- 1 forts was thalHbe city of Lexincton and of Fay, ite gave him half a million cunlars unconditionally. Poor man ; the j iiiyry jvas given on his account, but I ■jß'. believe he received a dollar of it Re than his salary as President of the new company., 'Clark county gave and literally. The road was built a distance of thirty miles from Lexington to the little town of Mt. Sterling. There it has stopped with one i ;r. The cos! of buijdiug that Beet^wwiis'tcSS tm. 41 iiudfin. *fnr sharpers collected nearly a million and pocketed file difference. Now they have j just succeeded in mortgaging the whole road for three millions-of dollars, and the ; stock which was given to the people in return for the tux has been blown to the four winds. But, the funniest thing is vet to be told. Col. Hart Gibson of the Lexington Press went to New York to in vestigate matters. He saw Mr. Huntington. He asked why the subseribtion of two and a lull mil lions had not been paid. Mr. Huntington replied that railroads were not built, in that way. “Who subscribed the moneyr” asked Col. Gibson. “Phillips,” said Huntington. “Ami who is Phillips “A moneved man here in the city, was the reply* Col. Gibson, turning his head, saw, laughing, at hisde.sk, a tall clerk, with a pen behind his car, and the Colo nel was powerfully impressed with the idea that that was Phillips. At any rate ho could not find anybody but Hunting ton who knew who Phillips was. Gener al Breckinridge has not yet been invited to hunt him up. Poor gentleman : he had not been prepared for ] irtnerships in such rascality. * The fact he was an innocent party tQ a huge fraud, which mainly by his efforts was perpetrated upon bis own people, sickened him in body and mind, and now lie has but just risen from a sick-bed, a shadow of his former self, but still the idol of the people. But he must have nothing more to do With rail roads if he would maintain h.s place in public esteem. Tenant's Covenant to Repair. In a case at issue iu the Superior Court at Baltimore, the Judge delivered the fol lowing instructions t “ th« jvy - “The wowto’boep” implies an obliga tion to p, Unrepair when received, and keep it so. It would te idle to stipulate to keep in repair what is not in repair. To keep is equivalent to put and keep and deliver up in that condition. I lie real difficulty is in the words “goodor der and repair.” They mean such rea sonable condition of fitness as belongs to houses of that age, class and condition. Good repair for one may- not be for an other. Whether the house is in such re pair is not for the jury to determine. Such construction docs not require art outgoing tenant to repaint and repair but only -to keepin such condition as is con sistent'with the use, and not allow it to be defaced, and to use it with proper and reasonable care, and deliver it up as it may be left after such care. There is no I custom or rule of law that an outgoing tenant is obliged to repaint and repair un less under a distinct and well defined agreement to that effect. “In good order and repair” will receive a proper construc tion by considering in general terms the use in respect to its class and age and the use to which it is applied. Nor should it be said that the tenant shall keep it as received. On that construction you neg ative the meaning of the words “good order They mean “not in the in which it is received, but reasonable.” The most extensive family wedding on record occurred the other day in Cincin nati. A widowed mother, three sons and two daughters wore, all married at once. A DEFENCE OF MGS. WEST MORELAND. Editors Abveuttsyr-Reiujblican : Absence from the city lias prevented me : from sooner noticing an article in your . issue of the 25th ult., which does .gross ! injustice to a most estimable lady. The article referred to is headed “Mrs. West moreland and Woman's Rights,” and! professes to give extracts from the New j : York Herald of October 18, iu which was j j reported correctly, and not as you have it . Mrs. W’s remarks, or the substance of ; them. Now, to corn ice you that your ar i tide is incorrect, I copy it and then copy I the extracts from the Herald of the 18th | of October, aecomjmnied by the paper itself, j so that you may compare the two. As j ; you will see, no allusion was made by ; Mrs. Westmoreland to voting-Or the right of ballot. She simply contended that j women should have a higher class of ed | neat ion than now bestowed, so that when | ! thrown upon their own resources for I ] support they could maintain themselves without being forced into menial pesi- 1 tions or to servile labor. I beg that those j of your exchanges who have copied your | original article will do the lady the justice to republish this in their issues : **** * * * * I The Ilernld says : “Mrs. Maria Jor dan Westmoreland came to the platform, ! and, looking like one of Titan’s high-born j Haines, said, in a sweet and low, but dis tinct voice, that tmwe was a great neces sity for close union between the women of ! the North and South. She hoped that lecturers would be sent through the South in order to awaken the ladies ofr that sec tion to immediate action. Mrs. West moreland further stated that she would gladly give any lecturers letter* of intro duction to the first people of the South in order to further the common ob ject. “Mrs. Westmoreland, of Atlanta,Geor gia, spoke on the condition of Southern women; she said she know them well 1 enough to know that if the papers of this Congress liadbeen read in the South,! it would rouse them t.lmt, they would.nut j be quiet until they had the ballot.” 1 • ' * « * * * * I What the Herald did sap : Describing | the persons present, * * * “and Ma- j ria Jourdan V estmoreland, a, holy from Gc-i .: .-, lull 1 .1 id He. i-k eyed aqwrm*s<' -. .m- tmui-.. yoJeTi-T veto pod with that Indefinable grace ami i charm of manner which is the peculiar property of well born ami refined South ern and all American women.” Again : “Mrs. Maria Jourdan Wcst i morcland canto.to the platform, and,look ing like one of flit ail’s high-born dames, I said, in a sweet and low but distinct voice, that!ihen was a /iccusity for close I unioiiSbetween tin WRioii of the North j and Httotb. Sim hoped that lecturers j would bk scut throughout the South in order to Waken the ladies of that section jto iiumcdiyio action.” And then l'ollow led offers on! otters of introduction, but ! no word or allusion to vote orhallot. Fair Fla/. | DISORDERS IN LOUISIANA. A \ The New Orleansy.cayuue of tW 31st ; ult. says: The officers of the ttoatnhoat wank FargouJ, which arrived\ in the cily'yes i ter Huy, give a statement of an outage ; perpetrated on the steamer at Goodrich's i Landing, about twenty-five miles abcVc ; Vicksburg, on the Louisiana side, on tie i 27th ult.., by a crowd of negroes, beaded bv one Cain Sartain, a Kellogg membe\ lof the Legislature, which certainly calls for action on the part of the United States courts. It appears from these statements that while the steamer was at Goodrich Land-, ing, she- was boarded by a mob of at hast | sixty men; led by Sartainund Davis Jack- j ’ son, clerk of the Parish Court, B. Smith,! j and other negro roughs of the district. | i These entered the cabin and demanded \ 1 that they be furnished with drinks at the I bar. Captain White, who was lying ill j j at the time, however, immediately rose, j | and with tha.utmost determination, or- j i He—ed. them off the steamer. As the Cap- i itJ 11 was very determined and “looked ; ; business,” they slowly retired to the land- Cummings, the mate, with the ■ crew, was taking on freight. They then surrounded him, and sever ; al times threatened his life, but with the ’ assistance of the crew, who rallied to their | officers, the mob was beaten off. They : immediately, however, sent to the neigh boring plantations to the negroes, telling ; them to arm, as it was their intention to i attack the boa*. 1 By this time the officers of the steamer i becoming uneasy, they backed out, but the mob fired Lite the boat at least 1 I hundred shots, fortunately, however, ! without inflicting any injury, as the crew and passengers laid down behind the piles of cotton bales, which .acted as a 1 breastwork. * We understand it is the intention of i Capt. White and Mr. Cummings to lay the matter before the United States au thorities, charging Cain Sartain and oth er rioters with violating the Ku-Klux act, as if no action is taken in the prem ises, it will be impossible ior the steamer to land at any point in the neighborhood which will not only be a serious loss to the whites but also to the blacks in the vicinity'. These outrages having been threatened for s<*ic time, and now con su mated, materially affect the commer cial interests of the community. There are now over three hundred Giaugto in the State of Mississippi. HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE’S RIBBTS MAINTAIN, UN AWED BY PEAK AND UNBRIBED QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBEM The It>p-Murderer, Stokes. yom the Savannah News.) i Stokes, the murderer of Fisk, and the 1 pink and pet of New York fast society, has utter two years’ dalliance with the law tnd the expenditure of a vast amount ot money, succeeded in escaping the gal l«ws, and has been consigned for a short term to the Sing-Sing penitentiary at healthlul employment. The history of liis case, so well known to our readers, is only auotlrr sad commentary, [not only on the law’s delay, but on the looseness and uncertainty of its administration in this country, where the -possession of wealth or social influence too often gives impunity to crime. That Stokes is a murderer uo one doubts. But he and his friends could afford to pay liberal fees, au/l while Foster, who, without pro medication and in a fit of drunken pns ! sion, slew a man against whom he had no malice, paid the forfeit of his life and : new sleeps in a felon’s grave, Stokes, the ftshiona-lde debauehe and pimp of the New York saloons, who killed bis former friend and rival with deliberate and cold blooded malice, retires to the shade of prison life until a pardon can be obtained for him, wken he will again return, fa mous, to tie circles of which he was stu b | an ornament. The two eases are not without a moral -they illustrate one dis graceful sact —that in this country, while a fashionable snop may resort to the pis tol for his revenge, murder is not to be indulged in with impunity by the impe cunious and friendless. Perhaps this fact is coming to be understood, for wo observe that while Stokes’ t rial was large ly attended by the snobbery of New Voit, and *a large number of elegantly dressed ladies,” whose demonstrations of grief and sympathy followed him from the prisoner’s box to his cell iu the Tombs, he was not so well received on his Way to Sing-Sing. An account of lvis journey to that State institution says: it Sing-Sing Stokes asked if he might have some lunch, as he had left New York in such a hurry that but little break fist was eaten. Ho was taken to a hotel. The news had spieud, however, and in front of the hotel was found “gathered a crowd off roughs such as no town outside of Now York, except Sing-Sing, could have furnished. The party with 'Stokes formed around the prisoners, and mak ing their way through the mass pro ceeded dawn the track, followed by erics “r'inll mnCd 11 Him,” “WuoroaiVi the lotteu eggs r” “How is Josephine,, Ed ?”a nd remarks of like character. The prison was reached, and passuig into tic warden’s office the prisoners' names, oc cupation, crime, -to., were registered. Stokls hud a short conversation with Warj. n Hubbell, after which Couse and lie wi taken to the State shop, where the riroecss of clothing them with the “bars.and stripes” was proceeded with. Stokes made several remarks about “his suit being comfortable, even if it was nut j made byß.dl,” anil that “he like a base-ift Hist.” Stokes has evidently less to fear from the law than ho has from the “roughs,’ whom it will be well for him to avoid when he is again-restored to “society.” Communion in Mr. Beecher's Ch urch A rc potto 1 thus describes the adminis tration oi the Commuion in Plymouth Church m Sunday last: Before the pulpit, and fitting the semi circular line of the front pews, was a long, narrow table, covered with a white cloth, I Upon it stood two large silver wine pitch -1 ers, twenty silver goblets and ten silver j plates with broken bread upon them. The utensils were massive and handsome, i “Before you,” said Mr. Beecher, “is! spread a seuvenirof the death of Christ,a j 'memorial of the God who sympathizes with ‘ Jou in all your sufferings. I invitenobody j i# phrtiepate in this rite because he is a ! mymber of a. church. It is free to every-' j boJV-who desires to accept Christ.” j After a hymn and a benediction those who did not* wish to partake of (be Com munion retired. When they hud done so j fully two thousand persons were left. In I the tyo frint pews sat the ten deacons ! Mr. IfoniyC. Bowen occupied a seat close ] liehvndthein, Mr Beecher prayed earnest j !y for a blessing upon the ensuing ceremo- I ny. Then be handed the plates of bread to thtdeocous, vbo passed through the eon j gregation with them. The most exact sys- I tern' prevented unnecssary delay. The plates were handed to the persons sit j ting in the ends of the pews, and passed \ along umil they reached the ends at the i opposite aisles, when, instead of being re- I turned through the same numerous hands, they were take* by other deacons and i passed backalongthe nextunserved pew. ; Thus the multitude was decorously and rapidly supplied. During this Mr. Beecher sat behind the table with hisbead bowed. There was j almost oppressive stillness, and as the) worshipers ate flic emblamatic bread | they covered thtir eyes and prayed j silently. The lightfrom the half burn- j ing ebandalier in the ceiling mingled j with that which came in through the few j open blinds with a curiously weird effect j as : een by the spectators who looked down j from the galleries. When the deacons had distributed the breed they resumed J their seats, and were served by the pastor, who then, after a brief prayer, filled the goblets from the great pitchers. The wine was passed in the same way that the bread had been, and a collection for the poor followed the Communion. Daughter—“ Well, to teU the truth, 1 do not think rru -k of the c*os< of the ser mon.” Fit her— Pi obaffiy you were thinking more of tlie clothes 01 the con gregation. A JOKER FLOORED. Sim flier, the somewat noted dancing master of old “Concert Ilall” days, w r as a wag and a joker; and he was not al ways particular where or how his jokes hit. There was one joke iu particular which he had frequently played off upon countrymen at Brigham's hotel, to the intense edification of beholders. One evening, upon the arrival of the stage from the eastward,a medium-sized j couutryfied looking fellow entered tkj office of the hotel, with a well-worn pet-hag in his hand. lie was homespun, and his jha.cn }mir w;i combed.

B • The Model Neuro Farmer.— -Mr. TJ. C. Fambrough discourses as follows on the above subject in the last Monroe Ad vertiser : The model negro fanner buys an old mule or blind horse on a credit, rents laud either for a part of the crop or so many bales of cotton, procures tools as best, ho can, buys corn, bacon, etc., tor which lie gives alien on his crop. And then, about April, he commences to pre pare for planting corn, either breaking or laying off in rows, to break out the middles after the com isup. Cornpla.lt ing over, he proceeds, seme tune in May, to prepare for cotton. “Cuffe gwine to use any juannerNo, bless your life, I’se not gwine to buy juanner to put on other folks’ lan’.” Well, after dinner some sultry evening, be saunters fiom liis but and, after surveying bis pros pects, he says : “Whew ! sun gitlen hot ; time Use plantin’ my cotton.” Hitches up his mule to bis one-liprse cart, and off he goes to hunt cotton seed. Well, after cotton planting, then for a fish and hunt. Some Juno Monday morning he wakes up about one or two hours by the sun, and, after breakfast, he hitches up his mulo to run round his corn ; after treating bis cotton in somewhat the same way, he proceeds to chopping. Then for another big frolic, to say nothing about going to his meetings and to town every Saturday. After this fashion he gets through the year. He then takes what little cotton r.o market ho makes and sel ls it for provision bills, returns his mule to its former owner, and goes homo broke, consoling himself by saying, “If I didn t get any money, I’se bad aheap of free dom.” Ho takes down his plank and fire coal, and figures thus : 0 is rtatigh*, 6 is a figure, . AUfor do acCOcnt, and none for denigger. He lays liis plank back up in tbo crack, and while reaching out for the poker to pull out his potatoes from the fire, he I breaks out whistling his favorite song — ‘•Nigger work hard nil <le yeur, White mao totede money/’ t*lc. An Irish lass wrote to her lover, beg ging him to send her some money, and added in the same letter, by way of post script: “I am so ashamed of the request that I have made iu this letter, that I I sent after the postman to get it back, but the servant could not overtake him. Arrest of a Stokes Juryman. James Deos Center, the indiscreet juror in the Stokes trial, was arrested Satur ! day night in Ngw York, and placed in the j same cell that Stokes occupied on the j night of his shooting Fisk.
