tead and approYed.

te:s w-'re taken up and read.
THE TRIAL or JOHN W. 3KN7BOX.
The honr of ten having arrived, the
President announced to the Senate that
that body was about to again resolve
themselves into a high court of impeach
ment to try charges preferred against
John W.Rmfroo by the House of Repre
sentatives for high crimes and misdemean
ora.
Tho Hon. Hiram Warner, Chief Jus
tice, then took the oath required by law,
which was administered by Hon. James
Jaokson, one of tho associate justices c£
the Supreme Bench.
The Coief Justice then administered
the fol’owing oath to the Senators in
batches of three:
"You and each of yon do solemnly
swear that in all things appertaining to
the trial of John W. Renfroe, now pend,
ing, you will do impartial justice accord
ing to the Constitution and laws of this
State, so help you Gc«L"‘
The swearing being completed, the
clork read the copy of service of the arti
oles of impeaohment on the defendant.
Too Chief Justice then ordered the
messenger to bring the defendant into
court. The defendant waa brought in.
Chief Justice—Aretha managers ready
to proved with the trial?
Manager Cox stated that a number of
witnesses bad been subpoenaed for in
state and that tho managers were unable
to state whether they were in attendance
on ti<> court, and would waive the right
of announcing ready.
The defendant waived the reading of
the articles of impeachment in writing
by hia counsel, Henry Jackson. Jr.
The Chief Justice then called on the
defendant to know it he had any plea or
answer.
Counselor Jackson, Jr., than rose and
read a plea and answer in behalf of the
defendant.
The substance of the said plea is an ad
mission of the facts charged in the arti
cles of impeiohment, bat denies that the
sots charged constitute a violation of the
several acts on the subject of receiving
money on deposit of 8tate funds. Setting
up that the defendant waa ignorant of
the provisions of the Constitution of
1878-
The defendant admits that he has re
ceived the sums mentioned in the articles
and from the persons also mentioned
therein, as eot* forth in said articles, bnt
denica that he did so with any unlawfnl
intent.
The defendant also admits that he re
ceived $247 from A. K. Childs, Presi
dent of the Northeastern Railroad, for
signing the bonds and coupons of said
road, bnt pleads that as the bonds were
not State bonds, that the labor waa most -
ly done out of office hoars, and tnat the
example of his predecessors gave him a
precedent 'or so doing,'and pleads not
guilty to this charge.
Tho defendant also admits that he did
endeavor to got a position for one T. J.
Pritchett, from the Georgia Railroad, and
offer to allow the tax collector of Rich
mond oonnty to deposit the State funds
in the Bank of Georgia Railroad Company
and read a letter from General Alexander
President of said company in ex-aera
tion of his aotion in this matter.
Tho defendant denies fully and com
pletely that ho is guilty of any violation
of the laws of the State whatever.
Tho plea was sworn to by the defend
ant. Counselor Jackson farther stated
that the defendant would admit as tine
any further facte that the managers de-
Bired to intrednse, which arc true.

Buffalo, Sept. 25.—The details of
bold attempt at abdnotion have just oome
to light. A young man named Cbaa
B. Sohualer, a telegraph operator, called
on tbe sixteen year old daughter of one
of oar prominent citizens on Tuesday,
while she was attending sebool, repre
senting that he was employed in her fa
ther’s offioe; t&at her fattier had been
injured by a fall of a building, and be
was sent by bim to bring her to him. She
aooompanied Sobnzler to the place where
it was represented that her father was
lying. On entering tbe room Sebuzler
looked the door, seizing the yoang lady,
telling her ot hts purpose to keep her a
prisoner until a certain snm of mqney
had been paid. He foroed her to copy
the following part of a letter to her father
which he hod written:
“ Dear Papa :—1 ask you to give this
man five hnndred dollars, for nnltss he
raises that earn within a week, ho ie
ruined. He pledges yon bis word and
honor that it .shell be returned within
sixty days. For this loan he La» no se
curity to offer you except myself, whom
he has in keeping. Ho must have this
sum immediately—within a week. So
i,ng as he thitika ; ou intend to pay ih.-
snm, just eo long ehall I be kindly dealt
with, but at the first indication”— ■■
At this point ahe stopped writing, and
begged to be released, promising to raise
the required earn and bring it to him.
On her swearing to never iliBOlose whas
had happened,ehe was released yebterday.
She told her father what
had taken plaoe. Sobnzler is now under
arrest, and confesses bis crime. On hia
person was found a letter to tbe father
of the yonng lady, eayiDg in substance
that he had hia bod, Willie, aged eix
7eara, in custody and he would release
nm on the payment of $5,000. If the
snm was not fortboaming the ahUd would
be drowned. Sehayler was held to bail in
$5,000 for trial. The names of a number
ot children of wealthy rastdentd, with
their homes, waa also found on his per
son.
New Yobe, September 25,—Ennis,
who is a great favorite with the specta
tors, made his 300th mile in 7 minutes

fine struggle to get ahead of Hazesl and
take the eeoond plaoe. He seemed to be
getting used np, the tremendous work
telling on him.
Rowell manages to keep bis lead of 30
miles end more over Hazael. He eeomu
fresh, but tbe paoa Hezsal foroed bim to
take ib evidently not agreeable. He re
taliates by Btickiog to Hazsul’s heels with
wonderful perunaoity. Ha dogs him
around mile after mile, and some of tbe
crowd shouted at him, ‘‘Come off,
doggy.”
To-night folly 7,000 people were in the
garden and several thonsand m ihe streets
outside. Guyonia not going very fast,
and he eeetns to be losing some of the

his face. The Dootor waa taken to Hat
chins’ drag store, where his wound was
attended to. We could not learn the
cause which led to too difficulty.
We accidentally overlooked the fol
lowing statement by the Cotufttufion
its issue of Tuesday, but find it repro
duced in the Savannah Newt. It ia cer
tainly an extraordinary rovelation:
“There are few persons who have any
reasonable idea as to the extent to whioh
the praotioe of blaokmailing is being ca:
tied in this city. The. reporters of the
daily papers in their armada for news are
constantly running against some base of
the moat flagrant sort. In almost eveiy
oase the viotim submits to the oppression
without any farther aotion than to pro
test in a mumbling sort of way to tne
blackmailer, or b:s or her coadjator. Of
ouurse tne operator ia akulfai in tbe se 1
lection of her viotim, and always takes
some man who o-unot afford to risk the
gauntlet of suspicion and who will sub
mit to almost any extortion before he
will even enoonnter tne notoriety that
fight in the oonrts will entail. We are
justified in believiug tint there are eoores
of oases in the city of Atlanta to-day that
are resting under the oppression of black
mail, and paying tribute to some worth
less man or womau; even while innocent
in moat cases of the chargee alleged
against them- Tbe character of any man
is at the meroy, to a partial degree at
least, of these people. There is no
oharge harder to disprove than that one
usually bronght by a blackmailer—none
more annoying to a sensitive person—
none more readily believed by the mass
of men and women."
It is proposed that General Phil Cook’s
Brigade have a reunion at the State
Fair. The movement is meeting with
the general approval of the veterans com
posing the command. It was made np
of soldiers mostly from the middle por
tion cf tbe State, and no time or plaoe
coaid have been selected more appropri
ate tban a day daring tbe State Fair. Ma
con will at that time be the centre of at
traction for the whole State.
It ts probable the rennion will be
largely attended.
Tbe following correspondence, whioh
appeared first in the Constitution, will
explain itself:
Atlanta, September 20.—Him*. Phil
Cook, Atlanta, Go.—Dear 8ir: We, tbe
nodersigned, members of the brigade yon
«r gallantly led daring the late war, not
ing your arrival in the city, avail our
selves of the opportunity of sByiDg to yon
that wa have had personal interviews
with several other members in different
sections of tho Suite recently, regarding
reunion of the brigade this fall dur
ing yonr relief from duties in Congress,
and the desire seems to be general that
yon should be requested to name a suit
able time and place for such reunion.
Will yon do us tho favor to indicate pub
licly at your early convenience when and
where it will be your pleasure to meet us.
Yours very truly,
U. T. Castleberry, 21et Georgia Regi
ment; E. P. Black, 4:h Georgia; Levy

gia; Egbert Boall, 12th Georgia; R. B.
Ridley, 4th Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Septomzor 20.—Messrs.
Wilson, Hoibert and others—Gentlemen:
Your oommnnloatton of this date ia be
fore me. Replying (hereto I would aay
that nothing could give me greater pleas
ure then to meet you and every member
of my old brigade in a reunion this fall.
As the brigade was composed of the 4th,
12tb, 21st and 44th regiments, that were
raised mostly m Middle and Southwest
Georgia, I am of tbe opinion that some
central point wonld be most satiable for
the meeting. Therefore I suggest Mas
cos, and the third day of the State Fair,
as the most satiable time. Assuring you
of my hearty co-operation in this move
ment, and thanking yon for the flittering
terms of yonr note, I am very truly your?,
Philip Cook.

Dr. Janes as Commissioner of Agricul
ture.
The Constitution states that Comp
troller General Wright has reappointed
Mr. R. U. Hardeman general book-keeper
in hiB office.
Referring to tho Renfroe case the
same paper says:
It is oil a matter of speculation yet as
to what direction tho case will take.
Opinions differ upon this matter. Some
persons are certain that theconrt will
not last two days, while others think it
wiil tako ten days or more to try the oase,
always provided the Treasurer makes up
bis mind to resist the articles and intro
duce testimony. The rules for the con
duct of the trial have been already
adopted and are the same as those in the
Goldsmith case, with somo slight
changes.
General Henry R. Jackson, will, it ia
stated, certainly be leading counsel for
Renfroe.
Tub Atlanta Dispatch B&ysi
Broke ma Jaw Bone.—At Smith’s sa
loon, on Decatur street, last night, about
9 o’clock, Dr. W. R. D. Thompson had a
few words with Mr. Dave Evans. For
some cause or other, not now known, Mr.
Evans seized a weight from tho counter
and struck the Doctor on the jaw, break-
iagit, and inflioting other injuries on
Tub Atlanta Dispatch is responsible for
tho statement that "Mayor Huff, of Ma
oon, said the other day in speaking ot the
next Governor: “I’m for Toomb9 drunk
against anybody sober.”
We are muoh gratified to learn from
theCnthbert Southron that 110 students
are now in attendance at the Agricultn
rai college there.
The same paper, under the head "Con
sistency is a Jewel,” has theao words for
tbe Legislature:
This la a maxim wo wonld serionsly
address to the Legislature, or more prop
erl) speaking, to the Honse, They have
preferred artioles ot impeaohment against
Mr. Renfroe for receiving interest on the
State’s money on deposit, oentrary to
•aw. In another inetanoe they have,
v.rtnally, released Mr. John W.
Nelms for exacting unlawful de
mands for tha distribution of
conviota. They have referred his aotion
to tho Governor, knowing that biaaotions
were endorsed by the Exeontive. The
Governor cannot now remove NelmB for
sbis violation of law, beoanse he approved
of it at the timo. We are by no means
apologists of Mr. Renfroe, bnt we most
be pardoned for Baying that the Houae
shows a want of consistency in tne mat
ter. To impeach Mr. Renfroe and exon
erate Mr. Nelms wonld be flagrant injus
tice and partiality. Up to this stage of
the proceedings the Honse has stood np
manfully, but now it seems that the
camel’d back is broken,” or serionsly
cracked. In Nelms’ case somebody has
violated a law, and somebody should
suffer tbe penalty.
Rome is getting some first-clae3 immi

from Kentucky, who signalizes his arri
val by taking $10,000 worth of stock in
the Bank of Rome.

one of the most energetic and successful
merchants of Rome, is serionsly ill from
hemorrhage ot tbe lnngs.
The Rome Courier has th!- J-ix.orance
laitor vSr by tbo editor to A a.
Wo think tho Legislature has done
right and will bo sustained eo far as re-
tul-e are concerned; bnt we are satisfied
that tbe crimes of some and peccadilloes
of others who have managed to get into
office are being used by men who desire
tbn overthrow of the Uumocratio party
inflame the minds of the people
against innocent men and against tbe
Democratic party. We think wo conld
discover two extreme elements in the
Honse particularly; one bent on driving
the Democracy to the wall, and willing,
in order to reaoh that end, to cast asper
sion on the eoul of honor itself ; the other
eo fearful of compromising tho fair name
of the party and their own oharaoter that
they will not allow themBelves outstripped
in tho hunt for "crookedness” even by
the strongest opponent of Democracy.
Wo very much fear that the good that
hoe been or may bo done, and whioh the

Tbe List of Use Seminole*
Charleston News and Courier.
The Department ot tbe Interior recent-
*7 dispatched an emissary to Florida to
inquire into the condition of the Seminole
Indians in that State, with a view to tho
initiation of measures looking to their
civilization. Lieut. Pratt, the agent re
ferred to, has made an interesting report
to the department. He was accompanied
from Washington by the Cheyenne In
dian Tich-ke-mar-ae of the Smithsonian
Institution as taxidermist. From St.
Augustine he prooeeded to F Meade,
Pulk oonnty, and thence to < n.- >; rarest
settlement of the Seminole?, tb.u. iturty
miles off.
The report shows a bare remnant of
the gieat Seminole nation, which, in the
fastnesses of the everglades of Florida,
kept the whole power of the United States
at bay from 1835 to 1842, and again re
newed the straggle in 1857, and after a
desperate series of encounters finally eno-
ovmbed. The total popnlation of the
Seminoles who etill remain in Florida,
Lient. Pratt Bays, is less than three han
dled, the last vestige of the most power
ful and warlike of the aboriginal nations
of this continent. Their desperate ex
ploits, under tbe leadership of the Semi
nole ohieftain Billy Bowlegs—their strat
egy and deeds of heroism—for years were
more then a match for snoh Generals as
Jackson and Soott, booked by all the re
souroes and power of the United States.
The Indians in Florida are divided in
to fonr villages. One; governed by
Ohipco, a very old man, claiming to be
one hundred years ot age, is situated
along the lake about Fort Clinch. The
second village, nnder Chief Tuecnnugga,
lies on the western border of Lake Oke-
ohobee. The third village, governed by
old Tigertail, is scattered along the bor
ders of the Big CynreBS Swamp. The
fourth, ruled by young Tigroitui is oallod
Miami and is sitnated on the Atlantio
Coast. Lient. Pratt spent some days »t
Chipco’s villago, whioh stood in a fine
forest in the vicinity of clear lakes in
which black bass and other food fish
abounded.
The buildings were substantial, show
ed skill in construction, and were fully
as comfortable as those of the whites.
The Indians possessed orange-trees,
fields of corn, sngar-eane and rice, anil
were sitnated in the midst of a dense
hammock reached by a crooked pathway,
and practically inaccessible except to
those familiar with forest paths. The
lands were cultivated by men and women,
who nsed hoes instead of plows in. the
rich alluvial soil. Ohipco himself assisted
his squaw in planting sweet potatoes and
melons. The Indiana also possessed
chickens, hogs, pomes and cattle in small
numbers. The men wore a breeoh-olout,
cahoo shirt and a shawl of bright colors,
and ou state occasions wore moccasins
and leggingx The women wore short
jackets and skirts of calico with bead or-
ments.
Lieutenant Pratt told Chipco that he
had como to see what they wanted. But
the old ohief was skeptical, ana repnea
that ho did not wtih to hear “any Wash'
ington talk.” He declared that he want
ed no education for his people, and no
ploughs. In short he emphatically de
sired to be let alone. He refueed to at
tend the proposed conference at Fort
Myers, whioh, in fact, tnrned out a eom-
ilete failure. Some of the Big Cypr<?B9
Swamp Indians were proBent, but they
preset ved a haughty and distant attitude;
declined to shake hands, and were also
positive in their rejection of any "Wash
ington talk.” They refused the presents
of food and tobacco which Lieut. Pratt
tendered them, saying proudly that they
cold buy what they wanted. The prog
ress made by these Indians in five yearn
was very marked. They live in comfort
able houses and ratio cattle; their reve
nues from sales of buckskin, pelts, hogs,
bly correot in their morals. The Consti
tution of Florida provides for the repre
sentation of tho Seminoles in both
branohes of the Legislature, but they have
invariably declined to avail themselves of
these privileges. In 1871 the Methodists
triedjto introduce civilized ways among
them, bat without success. The tribe*
preferred their own ways, and desired to
be let (done. They live apart from the
whites, and Etrecuonsly oppose removal
to the Indian Territory. It is to be hoped
that their moderate requests will be
granted.
Ltent. Pratt recommends that the old
fort barracks at Tampa Bay be made into
a sohool bollding and an eduoated Semi
nole from tho Indian Territoiy be sent
there as a teacher. There is certainly
room enough in Florida at present for
both whites and Indians, and tbe expa
triation of the latter cannot be neoeeaary.
Tbe United States Government has sin
ned enough against the Indians, and it is
not surprising that the latter are distznst-
inl of “Washington talk.”

A. General Disarmament.
The Pans correspondent of the London
New* says that Bismarck has submitted
to Germany and Austria a plan for a gen
eral European disarmament. That, of
coarse, if true, ie the result of a general
financial deficit. All the Enropean pow
ers, Fxanoe and England excepted, are
now emphatically hard up. Turkey is
hopelessly rained and can no longer bor-
Russia has strained her credit to
the utmost and is floating paper at an
immense discount. Austrian credit has
been at the ebb for ten years.
France, with her marvellous financial
vitality, and though running on an im
mense specie schedule, which oar finan
ciers langh at as suicidal, becansa so
muoh is lost in interest, has a large debt,
but the best credit in Europe. Great
Britain is now yearly swelling her im
mense debt and cannot go into any plan
of disarmament, for her little European
fotoo is indispensable to the maintenance
of her collonial system.
But the continental powers might dis
arm with great benefit to themselves.
Their immense standing armies are of
scrvico only as a mutual menace, and
could each agree to reduce fifty per cent,
the residuum would subserve the same
purpose at a heavy reduction of ccst.
Germany this year has been trying to in
crease her revenues by a heavy addition
to her tariff taxes, the effect of which is
as yet only problematical, except in the
matter of great popular dissatisfaction
and a certain and considerable loss in the
volume of her foreign trade.
The four great powers of Continental
Europe at this day undoubtedly have over
two millions of soldiers nnder psy, for no
conceivablo purpose whatever except to
hold each other in check. That ie one
of the evils of a neighborhood of sover
eignties from which the Untied States
will be long exempt. L?t the friends of
humanity evorywbere hope that Bis
marck’s plan of disarmament may reenlt
in dismissing at least a million of those
idle soldiers to their families and homes
and to productive labor again.

Prom tho Denver (Colorado) Tribune].
Charles May and his brother Robert,
in the spring of 1870, offered to pass rail
road tieB down the Arkansas from the
mountain soturoe. He says: “Oar offer
was accepted, when we started into the
upper entrance of the oanon with a large
skiff provided with six days’ provisions
and two hundred feet of rope, with whioh,
by taking a tanning tarn around some
firmly-planted object, ~we could lower our
boat one hundred feet ot a time. In
this way, at the end ot three days, hav
ing set adrift many hundred ties, we
reached the entrance of Royal Gorge.
Here we discovered that an attempt to
descend the first waterfall with two in
the boat wbb certain destruction, and to
return was impossible. Accordingly, I
determined to lower my brother down
the fall in the boat. At adiatamceof
two hundred feet I gave him the rope,
and let him take the ohance of tbo oanon
—life seemed more certain in that way—
while I wonld risk my physical ability to
climb tho oanon wall, which was abont
2,000 feet high.
Abont 10 o’clock -in tha morning
shook hands with my brother, lowered
him in the boat safely to the foot of the
fall, gave him tbe rope, and saw him no
more. Then throwing aside my eoat.hat
and boots, and stripping the socks from
my feet, I commenced my climbing way,
often reaching the height of 100 to 200
feet, only to be oompelled to return to
try some other way. At length, abont
4 o’clock in the afternoon, I reached a
height on the smooth canon of about a
thousand feet. Here my farther progress
wes arreerea uy a Bhciyiog «r took
jutted out from the oanon side a foot or
more. To advance was without hope;
to retain, certain death. Reaohing up
ward and outward, I grasped the ledge
with one hand and then with the other;
my feet slipped from tbe smooth side of
the oanon, and my body htuur suspended
in the atr 1,600 feet above the roaring
waters of the Arkansas.
At tbat moment I looked downward to
measure the distance I would fall when
thu strength of my aru>B gave out. A
stinging sensation crept through my
hair os my eye caught the strong root of
a cedar bush that projected over the edge
just beyond my reaoh. My grasp of the
1- dge was fast yielding to toe weight ot
my person. Then I determined to make
my best effort to raise my body and
throw it sideways towards the root, so aa
to bring it within my grasp. At the mo
ment of beginning the effor I taw my
mothsr’eface as she leaned over tbs ledge
reached down her hand, and caught
me by the hair. Stranger, my mother died
when yet a yonng woman, when I and
my young brother were email boys. I
remember her face. I was enocessial in
making tha aide leap of my arms, when
I drew myself upon the ledge and rested
tar a limn- From here upward my way
climbing was laborious, but toes danger
ous. I reached the top just as the sun
was sinking down behind the snowy
tange, and hastened to onr camp at the
month of the canon, where 1 found
my brother all safe. “Charley,” Baid
he, "have you had your head in a flour

that my hair was as white aa you see it

Otalo Politics and Prospects,
Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, eays tbe
Nashville American, made ono of hia
great popular speeches in Ohio on the
20rh of September. Ho starts ont with
the great issue of the army at the polls,
the control of elections by paid marshals
(Utih raws on tne solid ground of their in
evitable use as a partisan engine of op
pression. He cited the testimony of the
Cincinnati marshal, who says he appoint
ed all Republicans according to the letter
and spirit of the law, and stationed them
in Democratic words. He knew they
were not needed in Republican wards.
He knew that they wouldn’t do any ille
gal voting to hurt the Republican pa*r.
We have declared that this law cjfat
work just that way. and here is testimo
ny that it does work that way. Mr.
Pendleton discutaes this issue in a man
ner in which, it discussed all over Ohio,
it would not fail to aiouse a Democratic
viotory. This is rapidly becoming the
issue of the election, and upon that, if it
were alone, viotory would be assured.
It is useless to disguiso that there are
dangerous divisions in Ohio. Sometimes
one of those ground.swells which cannot
be seen, on tbe surface, carries on elec
tion when none could see the result. It
may be ao in Ohio. While the Demo
crats are united and the Republicans
vulnerable on the stalwart issue of troops
at the ballot-box and control of cieotions
by enpervtsors and deputy marshals, the
Hard-money Democrats, and especially
the German portion, are hesitating. If
these vote for Ewing hia deotion is as
sured. If they do not, it iB not so cer
tain. It ia nseless for us to Bay to any
man that tho Democrats need all their
votes in Ohio, and useless to say that
there is a divided opinion on the money
question which the stalwart issue goes
rar to heal.
If Mr. Pendleton’s speech oonldjbe
heard on every Btnmp in Ohio, we be
lieve it wonld thoroughly unite the party,
and not less upon that isauo than upon
tbe finauoial issue, upon whioh he is
equally dear and oonriooing.
A correspondent desires to know some
thing abont Ohio. This is all we know.
As for news of Ohio there is none. 'The
canvass is not yet very warm npon either
side. The Repnblioans have aroused no
enthusiasm, and perhaps it is too early
yet to read tbo signs. This is abont onr
view of it—that tha Repnblioans have ao
enthusiasm for Foster, bnt are united;
tnat tha Demoorats are as yet a tittle di
vided on Ewing, bnt with over a month
to come, the canvass may present many
phases yet before it doses.
