iVarrriOLii and Pinchback, of
Louisiana, in the Pace
of the Period.
New rkdiea’s Sport With the
Bauble of State Sovereignty.
Railroad Race for a Crown.
From the New Orleans Picayune.]
We have now to record one of the
most extraordinary races which has
come off in this country since the great
contest of speed between' Lexington
and Lecompte, or of steam between
the Natchez and Lee. Las Sunday
week, Governor Warmoth being called
to New York on urgent business eon
neetepwim the railroad inteiest of the
State, concluded to slip away as quiet
as possible, leaving his secretary in
charge of his otliiie and papers, and
taking the precaution to lock up in an
iron safe certain unsigned bills, to
which it might be the interest of a
certain party to give the force and
el Let of law before the approaching
election.
Thus departed the Governor on his
Northern flight. He had been preced-,
ed several days by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Pinchback, whose valuable ser
vices and eiiective oratory had been
called into requisition by the National
Committee of the Radical party in tire
State contest in Maine. The absence
of these two high oflicials, and tlie ,
viggilantiy observed and well under
stood modesty and reserve of Speaker
Brewster in the remote parish of
Ouchita, gave a pretty strong assurance
that the Governor’s functions would
not be assumed in his absence.
But so important a fact and opening
could not escape the notice of the vig
ilant Custom-house. The adroit, dar- !
ing and energetic Packard was not the
man to let so tempting an opportunity i
slip by to elfeet one of those revolutions
peculiar to our polities and which have
been so often attempted against the
present Governor. The occupation of
the Executive oflice, the possession of
the great seal of the State and the
handling of the numerous unsigned
acts of the Legislature, would be worth
a kingdom to this aspiring faction.
This brilliant idea, was no sooner
conceived than measures were set on
foot to carry it into effect. The tele
graph was put to work to convoke the
chiefs. There were frequent midnight
consultations in the Old Granite Rook
ery. The plans were all laid with con
summate strategy. Pinchback was
suddenly interrupted in a magnificent
speech—somewhere oil the Androscog
gin—with a message to hurry home—
lie was wanted—everything depended
on his speed—and Pinch saw into the
whole affair as clearly and as quickly
as the unsnrping King of England,
when he heard from his castle tlie
words of the minstrel, “the lion is
loose,” knew that Richard, the Lion
hearted, had escaped from his prison
and was on his way to claim his own.
So Pinch packed his carpet-bag,
abandoned his canvass, delivered over
the notes of his intended speeches to
some second-handed Yankee orator,
and him led to New York, where he
found imperative orders awaiting him
to attend the National Committee of
the Grant party in session in that city.
Here he met Chandler and the other
managers of the Grant campaign, who
informek him that his immediate return
to New Orleans, and the assumption of
the vacant seat of Governor Warmoth,
was the greatest service he could ren
der the Grant cause. It would make
certain the eight electoral votes of the
State and secure the State Government
for “our party.” Pinch acquiesced in
the scheme, and determined to obey
orders. Proceeding to the Fifth Ave
nue Hotel, to look after his baggage,
what was his surprise to find himself
confronted in the hall of that establish
ment, by the tall figure of his chief and
superior, Governor Warmoth
TIIOMASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1872.
This occurred last Saturday after
noon. There was a cordial greeting of
the two dignitaries, and after some
friendly interchanges they parted, un
der an engagement to meet at 9 o’clock
that night.
The Governor was prompt at the
time and place of the arranged inter
xie’A. But Finch was absent. The
Governor waited some time for him.
Stdl no I inch made liis appearance.
The Governor began to smell a rat.
A diligent inquiry failed to discover
the whereabouts of the Lieutenant-
Governor, and when his Excellency
retired to his couch that night his
mind and slumbers were disturbed by
apprehensions oi some conspiracy of
trickery.
Rising early the next morning, the
Governor renewed his inquiries re
specting the missing Pinch.
In the hall he found IMncli’s colored
companion, who was in charge of his
baggage. “Where is Pinch?” lie in
quired of the sable youth. “Don't
know, Governor, have not seen him
since yesterday, but here is his baggase
—1 am waiting for him.”
I his information and the presence
of the baggage would have deceived a
less suspicious and vigilant personage
than one who had had so large an ex
perience of the cunning and address of
his subaltern. The Governor was not
satisfied, and pursued lus inquiries
further.
b ortunately, whom should he meet
on Broadway but Senator Harris, an
intimate and constant associate of
Pinch. “Haveyouseen Pinch to-day ?”
asked the Governor. “No, haven’t
seen him since yesterday, at 5 P. M.,
when lie made an ogagement to meet
me at 9 o’clock. And on going to the
committe room this morning I learned
that lie left yesterday for Pittsburg.”
Then it was all laid bare. The Gov
ernor saw in a flash what it ad meant.
I’inch had tricked him, and got the
start of at least twenty-four hours, lie
must catch and overhaul him or the
Grantites would be installed in power
in Louisiana. Proceeding to the tele
graph oflice, lie opened immediate com
munication with his friends all along
the route and in this city. His plans
were all made for rapid transportation,
and Pinch was placed under surveil
lance all along the route, so that lie
could come no unfair dodges on his
competitor in the grand sweepstakes.
That evening the Governor left in
the Pennsylvania Central lightning
train, and reached Pittsburg in time to
learn that Pinch was twelve hours
ahead of him. Next he heard of him
in Columbus, Ohio, and finally at ;
Louisville, Ky. From this city the
Governor telegraphed for a special
train to meet him at Humboldt. On
Lis arrival there he found the host lo
comotive of the Mississippi Central and
a special car awaiting him. The Gov
ernor called up the engineer and asked
him in what time lie could put him at
Canton. The engineer could, at a
push, make forty-live miles an hour.
“Then do it!” said the Governor.
“I will,” said the engineer, “but you
must sign tins bond to stand all the
damages which may result from any
accident.” The Governor and his com
panion, Mr. Effingham Lawrence,
promptly signed the bond, and pretty
vuickly the locomotive and train were
put in motion. Telegrams had been
sent ahead to clear the track. And
now commenced the fastest steam
speed ever made in the Southern coun
try. Leaving Humbolt at 2, A. M.,
Tuesday, the Governor reached this
city at 3:45, P. M , making the distance,
443 miles, in thirteen hours!
On the approach to Canton, the
Governor telegraphed a gentle inquiry
for his friend Pinch. •The reply was
“He is here, awaiting the first train for
the city,” whereupon the Governor
shouted loudly, “We have got him !”
and Colonel Lawrence telegraphed to
their anqious friends#in the city that
they had bagged Pinch and would
bring him ft long.
But horn was this—how came Pinch
to be in Canton, when his anxious
friends were awaiting him at Amite,
with certified copies of the registration
and election bills, and several procla
tions and commissions to which lie
could affix the official signature and
seal of the Acting Governor of Louis"
ana ? This unhappy mishay occured
thus : Pinch had not dilly-dallied—he
had lost no time on his journey. He
had never left the cars except to tele
graph to the Customhouse, and to his
waiting friends at Amite, that he was
coming, and the Governor was taking
care of his baggage at the Fifth Ave
nue Hotel.
In this state of unsuspecting confi
dence and of sanguine assutanes of his
successful execution of the plot of the
Customhouse and the National Com
mittee, Pinchback repose in happy se
curity and indulged those pleasing re
flections which are natiTral and proper
to all achievers of great triumphs in
war, love or politics.
From this pleasing re very and a par
tail slumber, he was aroused by a tap
on the shoulder from the conductor,
who informed him that the train had
reached Canton, and there was a gen
tleman xv ho had inquired very earnest
ly for Pinchback, “Was he that person
age ?”
“I am that man.” responded Pinch.
“Then I am directed to inform you
that there is a telegram awaiting you
in the telegraph office, which the oper
ator is directed to deliver only to you
in person.”
Accordingly, Pinch hustled out of
the car. proceeded to the telegraph offi
ce, and inquired if there was a dispatch
for him.
“There is, sir, and only to be deliver
ed to you in person, if you are Govern
or Pinchback, but you must be identi
fied.” Pinch lost a little time in hunt
ing an identifier, anp then the operator
had mislaid the envelope, and could
not fmmeeiately put his hand on it.
Finally, however, it was found and de
livered, and Pinch hastily broke the
envelope, and with blank astonishment
found it contained a blank piece of pap
er. Then it was that consciousness
flashed upon the sagacious Pinch that
he was sold. He i ushed to the door
to hurry into lie train, which was evi
dently moving, the bell ringing and
the locomotive puffing. But the con
founded door was locked by some in
advertence, and Pinch had no exit ex
cept through "he window, which was
also fastened down. “Hallo! open this
door,” shouted the imprisoned Lieuten
ant Governor of Louisiana. Some
minutes passed before tnese shouts at
tracted the atteatiyn of outsiders, and
the door being at last opened Pinch
rushed madly to the platform just in
time to see tiie train moving off, about
L>o yards distant, on its down trip to
wards New Orleons.
It was in vainethat Pinch waved his
handkerchief and shouted at the top of
his voice, “Stop the train, stop the
train.”
“11 ext (rap tard ,” as Ledru Rollin
exclaimed when it was proposed in the
Chamber of Deputies of France to de
clare “the Count of Paris” the succes
sor to Louis Phillippe on the throne of
that kingdom.
“Sold, by the cnternal!” exclaimed
the Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana,
as lie proceeded to procure quarters for
the night. We will not invade the sa
credness of the chamber by attempting
to depict the demeanor and record the
reflections of the somewhat disappoint
ed and disgusted aspirant for the throne
of Louisiana- Sutfice it to say that his
slumbers were not more refreshing and
pleasant than those of the hunched
backed usurper of the sceptre of Eng
land on the memorable night of the
battle of Bosworth.
M ith the dawn blithly arose the un
refreshed royal assistant, and hied him
to the platform--whenee he cast long
ing rjid curious looks northwardly—
and, in this intent and somexvhat un
satisfying occupation several hours
were passed. At last, however, his
patience was relieved and rewarded.
There was a distinct sound of an ap
proaching train, and what a rusher it
must be! Who ever heard a train rat
tle at that rate over that road? And
it is in sight, agd there is a flag hung
out of the locomotive, and a great stir
and sensation along the road and
about the bepot. The train rushes up
to the depot, and slackening speed,
the tall figure oLGovernor Warmoth is
seen on the platform, and his strong
voice is heard shouting—-
“Hurra! llulloa! Pinch, is that you?
Thought you were with your baggage
at the Fifth Avenue. Get aboard and
we will take you to the city.”
And now the whole eounterplot was
very distinctly unfolded to the appreci
ating perception of the beaten but gal
lant competitor in this great race for
the sceptre of Louisiana.
“I acknowledge the corn, Governor,”
owned up the candid Pinch. “You
have won another race, and I’ll be d—d
if it isn’t the biggest one you ever did
or ever will win!”
And so Pinch took his seat in the
Governor’s fast train, and off they
started for the seat of power for which
tlieo had made this tremendous race.
In five hours and forty-live minutes
from Canton they were in New Orleaus.
Passing Amite, a knot of anxious pol
iticians of the Grant persuasion were
noticed stand on the platform and peer
ing anxiously into the car, in which
the Governor and Lieutenant Govern
or and Lieutenant Governor Were en
gaged in friendly discussion of their
comparative merits as racers and polit
ical strategists. “Halloa!” exclaimed
one of the knot of Grantites; “is that
you Pinch ; we have been waiting for
you. Is it all right?” “Captured!
Captured !” vociferated Pinch, as the
train moved off, pointing to Governor
Warmoth, who arose and affectionate
ly and gracefully waved his handker
chief toward the foiled and disgusted
conspirators in 1 possesors of the un
signed election registration bills and
various other Executive documents,
which only need the signature of the
Lieutenant Governor in the absence of
his Excellency the Governor, to become
the law, and to establish in power and
and authority the. government of the
Customhouse and of the Grant Admin
istration over the State of Louisiana.
This desperate scheme was thus defeat
ed by the energy, sagacity and daring
of Governor Warmoutli, and by the
extraordinary locomotive and steam
ride ever performed on this continent.
A Female Fiend.-— A correspon
dent of the Lebanon (Ky.) Standard
relates the following horrible story:
A bout three wheeks since there was
perpetrated ner London, Kentucky,
one of the most horrible acts of barba
rism that the combined fiends and dev
ils of hades could have devised. A
woman tortured a step child of about
four years to death, and it seems that
her husband was accessory to the deed.
The particulars, as we have gleaned
them, are about as follows : The child
had been tied so that it might starve
to death. How long it hand been tied
is not known, but it is known that the
child was tied, and undoubtedly for
that purpose. Those who held the
post mortem examination found in the
child’s intestines an apple seed and a
small crumb of bread only. They also
found the skull crushed, as if by a hard
blow. The woman's children, who
witnessed the hribkl affair, state that it
was so nearly starved that it caught a
chicken which came near enough, and
retained only a handful of feathers, the
child actually tried to eat them ; thre
upon the step mother caught the child
in her arms and ended its life by strik
ing its head against the jambs of the
fire-place. Are history’s pages black
ened by more horrible crime than that
committed by Mrs. Blair, the demon
who is guilty of the above outrage, and
who, in custody of the proper authori
ties, now awaits a terrible sentence ?
A Mad Sheep. — Mad dogs are no
novelties, but who ever heard of a mad
sheep? Me never did till yesterday,
when we learned that a farmer living
in the town of Granville had a sheep
bitten by a mad dog not very long ago,
which soon exhibited every symptom
of that dread disease, hydrophobia.
The creature did not bite but only but
ted, but butted with such effect that
many of the flock were almost killed
by him. After performing the strang
est and most undeard of ontics as the
disease increased in virulence, the ani
mal died. The owner hurried him in
a hurry, not even daring to save his
pelt.— MU leadire Netvs, 19 tit.
Romance of Watering Place.
A at Newport over
heard the following conversation :
“No Harry dear, we must part. I
think it is aw ful cauel of pa, but you
know he nevea encouraged you. lie
says you are nice enough, but that a
young man now-a-days must be able
to support a wife in the style to
which she lips been accustomed, and
that you know you could not do, dear.
So I must give you up. That Gus
Fvens I fairly hate, with his little,
snapping eyes and his briskly, ugly
little mustache —ugh ! but he has a
lovely pony phaeton, which is all at
my service, and a diamond, big as a
walnut, on his shirt, and pa says lie
has lots of money, and owns ical es
tate and railroad stocks, and I don’t
know what else, and lie says I must
be civil to him aud wiarry him if he
asks me ; and I know he will, for the
other night he got right to the point
and was just ready to ask the all im
portant question when pa dropped
in to look for his paper, and that
ended it for the time.”
“But don’t you love me ?” the
V'oung manly fellow at her side asked,
with a twinge and tremor in his voice ;
“you know you have given me cause
for thinking so, and hoping.”
“T7hy, yes, of course I do. llow
silly ! Love you; you know I love
you, aud it is really teo bad that I
cant have my way, and marry you
instead of Gus. I’a might suppDtt
us as well as not, but he won't and
you know I can never exist without
'he comforts 1 have always had. 1
must have my dresses and my di
anvmds, my horses and my parties,
and move in the same cirdle of soeie- ’
ty as I do now, and those tilings you
know you could never give rue. No
Harry, I shall always love you, and
y’ou won’t bo vexed, will you? But j
it is better that we should part, and i
you won’t try to see me much, will
you, till after I am married?”
Vexed oh, no ! not at you, But
lefis go in, and then I'll say good bye
to you and my hopes together.”
His voice was hard, ani strove to
be cool and unconcerned, but it trem
bled a little, and his lace was very
white as they passed ine. But her
smile Was as sweet and self-satisfied,
and her eye as clear as though she
had not wrecked a young inrn’s hap
piness, and thrown him as.de for a
brainless jumping-jack with money
and ns though her life was not to be
a vipid tiresome round of fashiona
ble emptiness, with none of love or
usefulness to sweeten it.
A Jlr.U< r of fentisTaeiion.
Not a bad story is told at the ex
pense of a most distinguished citizen
of Bhiladelphia. It seems that a
dinner party was in progress during
the recent brilliant display of north
ern lsghts, and this gentleman, step
ping out to cool his burning brow,
was startled by the display about the
frosty pole, lie stood perfectly
amazed, then turning to the window
lie saw the wife of his bosom sitting
with the ladies, waiting for their
liege lords to end their champagne
and cigars. Bushing aside the cur
tains, he peckoned to Mrs. Agnes to
come out. She complied, when lie
said to her solemnly ;
“Vfagnesj d’yer see anything ex
tronery now ? ’
“Yes, Dolly, I see you have been
drinking too much wine.”
“No T not that, Wagnes. I mean
extronery ph:rnomonums in atmos
phere.”
“Why, where, Dolly ? ’
“Upper yonder, Wagnes.”
“Why, dear me!—yes, I do, in
deed —the most brillia&t aurora that
I ever see.”
“Wagnes, are things shootin ? ’
“Yes, dear.”
“And a flashing Wagnes?”
“Yes, Dolly.”
“And a sorter spreadin’ and dan
cin,’ eh! Wagnes.'”
“All that, my d#»ar.”
“110 ! ho !” laughed the husband,

A Duel Spoiled.-*—The Savannah
News ot Saturday, is responsible lor
the following:
Late Thursday night, a certain
young gentleman of this city, tepre
senting one of the first families of
Virginia, visited one of our leading
hotels, became offended at one of the
clerks, and threw him his card, at
the same time asking if he knew
what that meant. The clerk, with
out hesitation, replied that he did,
and would be ready to receive any
communication which the Virginia
C
might send through a thiid party.
The consequence was that on yester
day the second of the Virginian call
ed <>n the second of the Canadian,
and assured him that he meant busi
ness—that bis gentleman would ex
hibit no white tether, «ke. The clerk's
second responded very much in the
same spirit, and claimed the choice
of weapons, when it was announced
that, in a quiet kind of a place, the
affair of honor would be settled this
morning, to the satisfaction ot ail
parties.
About ball past two o’clock, yes
terday after noon, the friends of the
Virginian apologized tor their friend,
and, from the popping of pistols, the
sounds of war changed into the pop.*

Love uml Malliemu tieg.
Jobnn August Musaeus, one of the
most popular German story-writers
of the last century, in his story of
“Libussa,” makes the lady of Bohe
mia put forth the following p.oblcm
to her three lovers, offering her hand
and throne as the prize for a correct
solution : “I have here in my bas
ket," said the Lady Libussa, “a gift
of plums for each of you, picked
from my garden. One of you shall
have half and one more, and the sec
ond snail again have half and one
more, and the third shall have half
and three more. This will empty
rny basket. Now, tell me how many
plums are in it ?”
The first knight made a random
guess at three-score.
“No,” replied the lady ; “but if
there were as many more, half as
many more, and a third as many
more as there are now in the basket,
with five more added to that, the
number would by so much exceed
three score as it now falls short ol
it.”
r J he second knight, getting awful
ly bewildered, speculated wildly on
forty-five.
“Not so,” said this royal ready
reckoner; “but if there were a third
as many more, half as many more,
and a Sixth as many more as there
are now, there would be m my bas
ket as many more than forty-livi as
there now are under that number.”
Prince Waldomir then decided the
number cf plums to be thirty, and by
so doing obtained this invaluable
housekeeper for his wife. The Lady
Libussa thereupon counted him cut
fifteen plums and one more, when
there remained fourteen. To the
seconel knight the gave seven and
one more, and remained, to the
first knight she gave half of these
and three more ; and the basket was
empty, 'j ho discarded" lovers went
off with their heads exoeeding giddy
and their mouths full of plums.
