Will Assnzar-D — Alexander H. Stephen*,
who know* President Grant well, *eems to un-
dartund him pretty thoroughly, lay* the New
Orleans Herald- a paper just established in that
stty. In a late artiole In the Atlanta Hnn he
say* of him: "He baa that rare combination
of fitment* of charaoter which never fail* to
suable the possessor, nnder favoring circum-
risaees, to deeply impress hi* mark upon the
history of the time* in which he lives.
“Jra so, Jedge.” He has impressed it all
orar that of Louisiana with bayonet* and bank
reptey. m
Will of Hb. Bbooks.—The will of the late
Hon. Jams* Brooks was filed in the Probate
Court, at Washington, last Friday. It 1* dated
April 18th, 1873, and divides his property, in
cluding one bail interest in tbe New York Even
ing Express, the residence No. 3G5 Fifth ave-
nna, New York, and tbe residence No. 1813 F
street, Washington, and sbont 9200,000 in
Union Pacific and o.ber railroad bonds, among
bis wife, Usris Looiat Brooks; his son, James
Wilson Brooks, and his daugbterb, Mr*. Charles
H. Neilson tnd Miss Virginia Brook*.
A OivraoKiaa.—Wo stated the other day that
the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company
tad been compelled to pay tbe amount of a
policy effected by a man who afterwards com
mitted anlcide, tboogb it contained a stipulation
tbe oompany should not pay the same In that
very event. That company now stipulates in
all its policies that if doalb result from tbe sot
of tbe policy holder in any form it will return
all tbe premiums which have been paid to It,
bnt sball not be liable to any farther claim. This
provision will probably be generally adopted.
Et-Govsonoa Bxtmouo, cf Nkw Yonx —Ex-
O jvernor Beymonr, of New York, i* credited
with remarking, daring his reoent Southern
loir, that 11 when Southern f.Utosman were in
power, we had a pore and glorious government;
but in tboir ixolosion from offioo, orlme and
corruption have come in like a flood.” He is
also credited with saying that "If slavery wa-
sn evil, it bred tbe best race of men and wo
man tbe world ever saw.” When Northern
atataunen lay ssido their prejndioes, they will
agree with Uov. Beymonr.
lairoaTaxT Bass Daemon.—A western pres*
dispatch from New York aayitheFint National
Bank of Ly n«, Iowa, has just received * ver
dict f ir |5R 800 against the Ocean National
B.nk of Now Yoik. Three trials were hod.
Bath aides have been represented by a large ar
ray of eoanarl. By tbe robbery of tbo Ocean
b.nk m Jane, 1569, securities belonging to tbe
Lyons* bank were I oat; benoe the snit. Jodge
Larramore charged the jury that if tho Ocean
bank was gnilty of gross negligence, plaintiff
could reoover. This is tho first case of precisely
tbiaebaraoter which has been tried in this coon-
try or England, and is considered of great im
portance to banks, bankers and lawyers.
Ixtuur Moms.—Wby should not the Indians
have a Moses as woll as tho negroes f The
Western papers as; that the Indians have been
for some time expecting a Mo9as to arise among
their raoe and redeem tbe people from bondage.
This belief, lakatantially the tamo as officially
stated above, has led tbe Iodians in that belt
of oonntry aitnatid east of the Oasoade and
west of the llocky Mountains, to longingly look
for tho ooming of their deliverer, and to ball
all nnosnal occurrences as indications of his
apeedy advent. No obief knows bat that be
may prove to be tbe chosen one, and Oaptaln
Jack in hia success will be greotod as suoh by
great numbers of braves.
Tn Gbejlt Coal Stiukk id Wales—Weat
R Cost.—Tbe details of the great strike In
South Wales show it to have been by for tbe
greatest that has ever ocoorred. The strike
lasted eleven weeks. The wages lost are esti
mated at foar million dollars. The amount of
coal and maunfasinred products withheld from
consumer* had a money value of ten million
dollar*. Twenty thousand men were Idle nearly
three month*, and tho avenge weekly prodaot
of the mine* and oollierie* effected by the atrlke
was 107,000 tons of coal, 11,000 tons of finished
Iron, 1,800 tana of finished stoel, and 1,000 tons
of raw pig Iron.
Adothxs Grand Undertaking —Chloago la
to have a tannel beginning at the West end of
the new lake tnnnel, and tanning 8 S 6 miles
nnder the alty, and will be abont 71 feet below
the ordinary level of the lake. It will be 7x7
1-6 feet. It U to be completed in less than two
year*. It le a si 1 that tbe whole cost of the tan-
Cel and of the pnmping machinery which will
be erenUnl at It* end will be leas than a million
of dollars. AU this is, of course, to Increase
the facilities for extinguishing fires and famish
ing water to tbe Chicago people. Surely that
dearrvoa to be called a great city which under-
1,1 i and executes so many of these noble en
terprises. M .
It isn’t always tbe bnsbknd* who bang and
batter tho wives. In 8t. Loni* Mr. John a
Fr.sgtbbon seeks a divorce from bis lady, a
gentle gtoelle bight Louisa, for diver* reasons,
prominent among which are that she, on one
oooaaion, fondled him with a flat Iron, and on
another knocked ont all his front teeth with s
atone. He jastly complains in bia libel that
“this state of thiDga renders his condition In
tolerable." Bnt this is not alL Tho shrewish
dame “call* him by low namea,” and charge*
that he bad been gotltj of a violation of hia
marriago vows, whereby he pray* to be separ-
sted from the energetio Loulsia; and well he
may. The flat Iron and front teeth count* of
tbe indictment alone should be oonolnalve.
Hawing Oabiiql—A correspondent of tbe
New Eogland Farmer say*, he lost year raised
four hundred head* of cabbage. He started
them in hot bed* about the first of April, and
transplanted them on a cloudy day, a* soon a*
the weather and soil were warm enough. The
next day be put abont a teaapoonfal of salt
aroand Mich plant, not minding at all if it fell
on the plant. Thi* served to kill all worm* that
might be in the soil. After tho plants began to
grow, he stirred the ground a* often a* poeai-
l '.e, keeping it looee and friable. As soon as
those pests, the butterfly that lay* the egg which
forma the green worm appeared, he got half a
pound of salt-petro; ono fourth of a pound cf
copperas and dissolved in a half hogshead of
Water. With thi* solution be watered the plants
slur each raid of the butterflies, whieh occurred
three times during the summer, and by this
uicAr.s saved his cabbage from tbe worms—not
losing a plant. This method would not be very
difficult or expensive, and perhap* some of our
reader* may be disposed to try it the present
■scan.

Who Burned Celamblt?
The preaa telegram* yesterday informed ns
that Generali 8herman and Howard had on that
day given their testimony before the British
and American Mixed Claims Commission on this
point, both swearing that it waa neither done
by order of any Federal general nor by the
Federal soldier*. In the Tribune, of Friday,
there appeared a synopsis of the testimony on
this same qneation given by General Wade
Hampton, in whioh ia copied a letter written to
General H. by James L. On, in which he states
distinctly that Howard did, In hia (Orr’i) preo-
enoe in Colombia, and daring • conversation
with General H., admit that tha city waa fired
by Federal soldiers, and that he (Howard} saw'
men firing honsca. General John S. Freston,
who was also present at the interview between
Howard and General Hampton, writes General
H. a similar letter, fnlly corroborating Orr’i
testimony as to Howard’s admissions in every
respect.
We put Presion’s and Or’* statement* against
Sherman’s and Howard’* oath*. The former
have no interest in the world to tub serve ex
oept that of troth, while the latter, conscious
how the civilized world ho* come to regard that
damning atrocity, are dlreotly interested in
lifting, by any and every means, the infamons
burden from their shoulders. Tbe verdict of
an impartial world has already been delivered
as to their guilt, and history will reoord it with
a stinging, clinging emphasis, never to be ef
faced. History will also set down, in letters of
indignant, inextinguishable light, all the facta
of Sherman’s Attilo-lika mxroh from Atlanta
to Savannah; and when these facta are known,
it will not be at all difficult for those who read
them to fix the reeponsibilify for the crowning
infamy perpetrated at Columbia.
Below wo give in fall the letters from Messrs.
Orr and Preston, alluded to above:
“ Washington, Deo. 28, 1872.
Dear Sir >—I have reosived your letter, in
quiring as to my reoolleotion of a conversation
that occurred in the Executive effloe in Colum
bia in 18C7 between yonrself and Gen. How
ard. of the United States army, aa to the burn
ing of Columbia. I do not remember all that
was said, but General Howard said, In sab-
alanoe, that the city waa burned by United
Stales troops; that be saw them fire many
bouses; and that be tried to arrest the confla
gration, and that he regretted the destruction
of the oily. W.thont undertaking to give hm
words, the foregoing contains the Bnbatance of
what he said relative to the deatraotion of Co
lumbia. Very reapectfuliy,
“James L. Obb.”
“Columbia, January 2, 1878.
'Mr Dkas Sib—I have yonr note asking me
to state my reoolleotion of tbe conversation be-
twdfen Wade Hampton and Gen. Howard, in
the pres'-noe of U iv. Orr, myself and others
Tbe substanoe of the conversation was that
Gen. Howard said, and reiterated it, that no
one was authorized to any that the Federal
troops did not burn Columbia, and be saw them
doing so in numerous instances and in rations
localities in the town. The conversation was
exclusive between Gen. Hampton and Gen.
Howard, the other persouB present saying bnt
very little. Very truly yours,

Lost Week’s Cotton Figure*.
Tbe New York Ohroniole reports the reoelpts
of tbe seven days ending last Friday night.
May 2d, at 48,046 bales, against 46,373 last
week, 55,830 bales the previous week and 48,-
945 bales three weeks since, making the total
reoelpts ainoe tbe 1st of September, 1372,3,258,-
170 balcB, against 2,583.269 biles for tbe Bame
period of 1871-72, showing an Increase since
September 1, 1872, of 674,901 bales.
Tbe receipts for tbe same time at tbe seven
Intorior ports were 8,576 biles, agsioBt 4,481 for
tbe corresponding week of last year. The ship
ments were 11,816 bales, sgsinst 7,267, and tbe
stock remaining on band at tbe close of the
week was 80,658 biles, against 86,352 last year.
Tha visible supply table foots np 2,591,248
bales, (gainst 2,476,462 at the corresponding
date last year—showing an increase of 111,756
bales.
The New York market during tbe week was
dnll, bnt firm. Some slight advances in quota
tions occurred, but they were lost before tho
week closed.
The wealhor reports were in general favora
ble. Tbe frosts, except In tbe extreme Gnlf
States, had done little damage, bnt a small part
of the orop being np. Bain of from two to fonr
days’ duration la generally noted throughout
the cotton belt. The meroury averaged at

Bold Railway Financiering In Flor«
Ida.
The New York Sun, of Saturday, says that
notwithstanding Florida haa been systematically
robbed by csrpet-bsg and negro offloe-holders
for tbe post stfven years, the biggest scheme
yet Is abont to be attempted. The State Board
of Trustees have made a contrast with the
Great Southern Kailway Company, so-oalled,
whereby the oompany obtain at five cents an
aero some six million fonr hundred thousand
seres of the best land In the State. The con
tract Is for a road from the St. Mary’s to Key
West, with snoh branch road or roads as the
corporation may choose to construct under their
charter, and it la stipulated that when ten milea
are constructed and in running order, the trns-
tees are to deed to the company 128,000 acres
of land at five cents an acre, or 12,800 acres
per mile, and so on for every additional ten
mllos. The distance from King’s Ferry on the
St. Mary’s to Key West, is abont five hundred
miles, so that the road proper will absorb about
6,400,000 sores, and the branch roads will prob
ably take in two or three millions more. The
trnste** have agreed to sell more even-number
ed sections than there are in the whole State
subject to their oontrol. The hitoh In the
scheme is the requirement that tbe road mnat
be in runnirg order before the land is surren
dered, and the probabilities are that the spec
ulators will not be able to borrow enoegb
money to accomplish this part of the bargain.
Civil War la Lonlalana.
It seems that Kellogg’s operations have at
last culminated in actual oivil war in Louisi
ana. A battle royal has occurred in St. Mar
tinsville, and Kellogg’s army was defeated, with
the loss of two killed and three wounded. The
dispatch says the people are resolved not to pay
the taxes levied by this bold and nnblasbing
usurpation, unlea* they are enforood by Feder
al bayonets. It is Impossible to forecast the
miseries which may grow ont of this complica
tion, in which tho wretched tax-payers of Lou
isiana are driven to the alternative of submit
ting to barefooed robbery or assuming an atti-
tnde of quasi-resistauoe to the Federal Govern
ment. The probabilities ore that they will be
robbed and punished for treason too.
Spanish A flair*.
The ferment in Madrid increases, and the
city seems to be virtually in the hand* of the
Commune. The clamor for a federative repub
lic means, os to Spain, complete and absolute
independence of each of the provinces, and
each to be governed irrespective of the others,
by whatever power, party or faction can get the
reins. It is to be chronic discord and oivil war,
and it ii little better now. Every telegram adds
gloom to the prospeot, and no mode of solution
or extrioation ia apparent.
Doctob 1 Wx SalutxThxx.—The New Orleans
Herald tells the following:
A few day* ago a distinguished physician of
our city happened in one of our street cars,
with a certain notorious Jodge, who is jastly re
garded aa tbe chief plotter of the min and the
anthor of the ealamitiea of our people. The
Judge, endeavoring to occurs the attention and
eDgage in a familiar conversation with our
medioal friend, was met with the emphatic re
buff :
"Sir, I do not reoognixe yonr right to apeak
to me or approaeh me in friendly guise."
“Why not, Doetor, I have never done yon any
harm."
“Simply, sir, because I regard you os tbe
guiatft thief and villain in this oommnnity."

Great Decrease el Short la Gears’a.
Hr. 1 arrow, of the Federal army, who, In ac
cordance with orders from Prof. Spencer Baird,
Federal Crmmiaaioner of Fish »»* Fisheries,
has lately beea making acme Investigations “in
the States of Virginia, North and Booth Caro
lina and Georgia in regard to the thud, her
ring and reck fisheries, with a view to inquir
ing into the alleged decrease of these fish and
the beet methods of and moat favorable locali
se* for establiehing hatching-booses for their
artificial propagation;" ho*made the following
report as to the decrease of abed in Georgia
waters. We quote from the Tribune of Satur
day:
I next visited Augusta, G*., where, oooording
t) alt account*, a mo,t lamentable decrease in
the supply of ,hid his -listed for sometime.
Mr. J. Higgins, of No. 8 Ellis street, an intelli
gent fisherman, informed me that it was hit be
lief that there were not on eighth aa many
shad in tbe Savacr.&h river at tha present time
as formerly. He attribute! the decrease to the
numorona traps and nets used ainoe the war,
and tha offal from the gas works and paper
milia near tbe city of Savannah. He further
informed me that shad running np tbs river
and meeting, from the sources mentioned, im
parities in the water, would retreat to Broad
river, below Ibe city. Hia statements were
corroborated by Mr. Powell, of tbs City Mar-
abal'a effiea, and other p-raons of intelligence.
I do do; doubt lha ourrtc'.neaa of tbe vlewa of
Mr. Hipg* to a out tain extent, bnt oonoider the
chief effending cause to be toe nnmerooi traps
and DeiH which cover the face of tha river from
its month to Augusts. At this date there are
perhaps 150 nets between Savannah and An-
ga.U, while tie average daily haul per net ia
not more than 20 shod.
By invitation, I 7i-ued Mr. Powell's fishery
and found it to be au admirable location for
hatching purpose* on aocoant of the nstaral
advantage, surrounding it, and the faot that
here more fi-.fi are takt n than at any other point
on tbe river except, it may be, at the traps of
Ur. Thomas Heckle, abont five miles above the
city. Tbe nets aud by Mr. Fowell or* of ordi-
nary gilling twine, with r.. inch mesh, and are
85 yards in length and 18 feet deep. When
flthed tbe nets are driven a mile or so down the
river at intervals daring the day and night
Mr. Fowell'estimatea tbe doorcase in the anpply
of shad in the last five year* at one half, and
considers twenty flvh a fair doily average daring
the season. At this date, April 8, twenty-four
hours’ fishing with three nets, bos resulted in
the oaptnre of seventy four shad. This, how
ever, is fsr above the number ordinarily taken
in tbe time mentioned. According to tbia gen
tleman, shod make tfieir appearance in the Sa
vannah near Augusta early in March. This
year, however, owing to the backwardness of
apring, they did not appear nntil three weeks
later tbtn tbe usual time. They are taken nntU
late in May.
Mr. Tho*. Heckle, who also own* a valuable
fishery five milea above Augusta, aa elated, does
not nse nets, bnt secures the shad by means of
traps formed of stakes of wood. Mr. Heokle
takes in these traps not more, perhaps, than
ten fish per day on an average during the shod
»< rnon 1 fint notwithstanding tbe limited oatch,
I have no hesitation in recommending hia fish
ery aa favorable for a hatching-house, ainoe in
(fie traps ibe fish remain alive until the moment
of tfieir removal, whereas in the drift nete they
are frequently drowned, and thereby rendered
nielr-ss BO far as their spawn is ooncerned. Mr.
Hickle informed me that he hod fished the Sa
vannah for h nnmber of years, and that eight
yearn ago 1,500 shad were taken at a single haul.
At present a banl of 40 seldom occur*. They
sell readily at from 75 cents to (1 25 per pair,
while formerly they brought but from 5 to 12
eenis each. The shad spawn will be ripe in
about ten days hence.
A BlIDEOBOOB’* TAKING OFF.
A. Tannar Gentleman 111 Philadelphia
Nhoola IIImaeir Through tbe Heart o>
HI* Wedding Day.
From the Press, May X. |
Our city waa shocked yesterday by tha ra-
port that a well-known citizen had suddenly
ended his existence by shooting himself through
the heart with a Smith A Wesson revolver. The
anicide was Mr. lliohard D.le Pettit, a son of
the late Hon. William U. Pettit, and a nephew
of Kichard Pettit, E*q., naval paymaster for
this Elation. The sad affair took place at 248
South Eighth street, where the deoeased had
been boarding for some years.
The unfortunate man wa* In company with
friends nntil nearly 12 o’clook on Tuesday
night, and appeared to be in the best of spirits.
He spoke of bis excellent prospects for the
future, and alluded exaltingly to hia approaoh-
tag
MAHMAOI
with Miss Bebecoa Staley, a most estimable la
dy, daughter of the late Andrew Staley, the
well known brewer, and a nleoe of tbe late Dr.
Hobart Caldclengh, a wealthy physician, who
reeldedj for many years on Obesnat street, be
low Fifteenth. Dr. Caldoleugh died some
months since, and by his will left quit* a Urge
fortune to Miss Staley. It seems that Mr. Pet
tit bad been engaged to be married to Miss
Staley for the past thirteen years, the delay
having been caused by a desire on the put of
the Udy to wait until both could secure for
tunes sufficient when joined to insare a oom-
petenoe, ease and enjoyment for the rest of
their natural lives. This bright and hopeful
picture was utterly obliterated yesterday morn
ing by tho terrible act of which we have tpok-
en. The nuptials were to have been celebrated
at noon in St. Mark's Episoopal Church, on
Locust street, above Sixteenth. The announce
ment was made some time siuce to the relatives
and immediate friends on both sides, and ex
tensive preparations had been going on to
make the oeremonies as imposing aa possible.
Bridesmaids and groomsmen were selected;
dressmakers of extreme taste were engaged to
lend their aid to the ocoosion; joyous were the
hearts of all who were to participate in the fes
tivities, and the anoossa of every undertaking
toward the oonsnmmatlon of the long looked
for event assured those Interested that their
hopes would be realized to the fullest extent.
TEE WEDDING.
The wedding at St. Mark’s Church was the
theme of gossip amoag those who make np iU
sudlenoes st suoh time*, and after breakfast
this morning many a maiden as well a* matron
repsited to her ohsmber to prepare her toilet,
not expecting so soon to reoeive the itutling
Intelligence that the handsome bridgroombad
put an end to his own life. The news wss broken
to tbe bride in a delicate manner, from whom
there was no response, bat a look of woe not
bearing description. She retired to her cham
ber, wbere she remains ibat In with her own
grief. What makes thi* affair additionally sad
is that the bride and groom and laid ont plans
for a wedding tour to Europe, and hod en
gaged passage in a vessel plying between New
York end Liverpool. _ _ . .
It appears that the deoeased retired abont
midnight, and nothing was heard of him again
until 7 o’clock yesterday morning, when the
household waa startled by the report of a piatol
shot. A boarder, Mr. Thomas Hall, prooeeded
to Mr. Pettit’s chamber, and there found hi*
lifeless oorpse stretched upon the floor. He
summoned the people of the house and physi
cians were colled in, but all efforts to peroeive
tbe slightest sign of life were ineffectual. It
wss found that the ball had entered the heart
and bad caused instant death. There were no
signs of any premeditation in the sot. Tbe de
ceased waa only partly draased, and had token
the pistol from a bureau drawer while appar
ently arranging his toilet. It seems to have
been an act committed on the spur of the mo
ment, without previous intent. Thoee who
were with him on Tuesday night state that he
drank only ale sod beer, and was mostly en
gaged in conversation touching hi* projected
WEDDING TOUR TO XCBOFE,
speaking of bis forthcoming wedding with all of
that enthusiasm which urually characterize* a
person on the eve of a happy matrimonial olli-
anoe. Several persons presented him with let
ters of introduction to prominent personage* In
London and other oities, all of whioh he took
thankfully and promised to use.
Tbe deoeased waa on impulsive man, bnt kind
ly in fits disposition. He was about thirty-aix
year* of age, of Anglican moald in form and
features, and was not engaged in any bustcera
at the time of bia death. He had atndied the
profession of medicine some years sinoe, but
had neTer practiced the healing art.
Some of the deceased gentleman's friend* as
cribe the rash act to insanity, a theory whioh is
borne out by the fact that be had stated to sev
eral parties ifist he was going to Vianna a* a
correspondent of the Frees and Ledger.

lieggar*.
One of onr reporters details this morning a
curious conversation with the President of the
Union Faoifio railroad on the subject of free
passes. The road of which Mr. Horace F.
Clark is the head is by no means the only one
in the country which has lost “hundreds of
thousands of dollars" by the importunities of
official mendicants; but it has the distinction of
being tbe first to attempt a reform in what has
grown tobe a very serious abuse, and the course
cf its struggle with the beggars and blackmail
ers will be watched with great curiosity. We
are shamed, but not surprised, to find tbe
President of tbe United States leading the tab.
ble of spongers, and traveling about the coun
try at the cost of the railroads. Mr. Clark is
considerate enough not to say that the Presi
dent asked for a free pass; bnt it is notorious
what General Grant’s practice has always been
with respect to snoh “oourtesies,” and there is
not a railroad man in the oonntry who
does not understand what is expected
of him when the chief magistrate and
his suit* of attendants go abroad to take their
measure. If the President does it, why should
the Cabinet be modest? We know of one Cab
inet offioer whoee clerk wrote a letter, maiktd
“Official Business,” nnder the department
frank, and oooly informed either Mr. Clark or
some other officer of the road that Secretary
so-and-so, “with his family,” purposed making
a trip to California, aDd if tbe road wished to
pass them free the neoessary documents might
be inclosed to tbe clerk’s care. There is an
other Cabinet officer who has applied for
passes, not ouce, bnt a great many times.
Thera is a Judge of a Federal Court who re
cently asked for a season pass; and we presume
from Mr. Clerk's guarded statements that it
is no unoommon thing for jadges to sue for
the bonnty of the road whose affairs may al
any time c >me before their oourts. As for
Senator* and Bepreaentatives, they of course
are the moat persistent and unblushing of
dead-heads. It ia a well-known falling of tbe
average Congressman to clamor for anything he
can get free, from a bey-ram bath, or a dozen
stay* laces, to a round trip to California, priced
at $300. That he should demand eompnn
tary tickets for himself and hia interesting fam
ily from the Bocky Mountain* to Washington,
from New England to California—that he ahonld
torn a brisk penny by begging for pi see a and
selling them at a discount—that he ihould en-
oourage clerks of oommitteee and employee
sbont the Capitol and the departments to make
■imiinv Snwtmtu and tbit hit shftTiid think him-
self ill-used when the demands are not granted,
all this Is no more then we might have anticipa
ted, knowing as we do the propensities which
life in Washington develops. Bnt we con
fess that we were not prepared for what Mr.
Clark tells us, and what we have learned
from other sources, of the dimensions to whioh
the abase has risen. The clerk of a oertain
statesman wrote the other day to the President
of the Union Pacific that Senator so-and-so
would be in New York on snoh a day, and it
would perhaps be os well for Mr. Clark to call
upon him and offer him a pass. Another Sena
tor reoently asked for fire passes ever the Union
Pocifio road (tbe throogh fare being $77 50 for
each pise anger), and being refused, threatened
that the oompany should suffer for its meanm
next winter. An ax-member of Oongrera who
held a season para died some months ago; his
hair used the para until it expired, and then ap
plied for a renewal.—If. Y. Tribune.

A Cavern Of 1'aknowai Dimensions nnder
the City of Knoxville, Tenn.
Of oonrse everybody has heard of the old
cistern dag many yean ago in the yard of tbe
Lamar Hotiae, in this city, the bottom of whioh
fell out, carrying the tools of the workmen, as
Was popularly supposed, to China. It was af
terwards found that there woe a yawning cav
ern of unknown dimensions, whose bottom no
man had the oouroge to find cut. Tbe practi
cal sense of the proprietor of the Lamar Hoose
determined him to nee the bottomless abyss os
a drain, seeing that tt was a broken eistern that
ooaid hold no water, and for many years it had
been thus used. Bat there being no solid fonads-
tion to the impromptu drain, the aides have
regularly fallen in, time and again, and the
workmen, being fearful of their lives, have
hitherto repaired the drain very flimsily in
deed. There was another oave last we«k, and
Mr. Guthrie, the proprietor, determined to
have the old thing fixed oooe for all. The
work has been progressing now for several
days. The repairs promised to be permanent.
Thirty-five feet below the Burfaoe the workmen
earns to the cavernous opening abont whioh
mnoh haa been said and more written. Tbe
month of the oavem is very Urge, and the
cavern itself is supposed to extend many thou
sand feet downward and to cross tbe oity diagon
ally from southeast to northwest The workmen
found great diffionlty in making the exoavatton,
the stenoh being almost intolerable. Five dol
lars a day was paid for their work, and a nnm
ber of them were compelled to oease their labor,
having been overoome with the foul exhalations
arising from the decomposed matter turned up
by their shovels. They talk with bated broatb
of the myterioos sounds they heard ooming from
the cavern, and will not tell of the many odd
and unsoanny thing* they found accumulated at
the bottom. Oae of the workmen narrowly es
caped being buried alive. He was ascending
the ladder, following hia comrades, who were go
ing to dinner, when a mass of earth and rocks,
weighing several tons, caved in just opposite
the ronnd of the ladder on which be stood at tho
moment. The mouth of the cavern has been
arched over in a substantial manner, and the
drain will be made more secure and stronger
than ever before. •
Are the Colored Knee Decreasing in

Correspondence of tho Chicago Tribune ]
While in Kentucky, we met n surgeon who
served daring the war in Gen. Cheatham’s Di
vision. From himself and his lady we reoaived
much information regarding the present social
condition of the South. The
rREJUDICX AGAINST THE COLORED race
hero, at the present time, cannot be exaggerat
ed ; aud it is very evident that the two raoes can
never be harmonized during the present genera
tion, at least Dr. A- avers that the colored raoe
are becoming dooimated; that few ohiidren are
born to them; that most that are born either
perieh from negleot or are murdered; that they
are too indolent to provide for their offspring;
and that their natural affection does not exoeed
that of the brnte. This same sentiment was
also reiterated.by Mrs. G. of Coiambus, Miss , a
lady of the very bighost standing socially. She
says that child murder is a very common thing
with the blacks at .the present time In Missis
sippi ; that in clearing oat an old well which
had not been used Bince the v . r, thoy found
the remains of ten oolored babKs, and in anoth
er twenty. I give this statement, just as it wss
uttered by a person who seems to h&vs no
farther interest in it than to state facts os she
believed them. This wholesale slaughter and
negleot were further corroborated by country
gentry from the States of Tennessee, Alabama,
and Louisiana. All aver that one or tbe other
raoe must give away ; and that from the natu
ral instinots of the colored raoe—whioh they
olaim to be unthrift, laziness, and want of ma
ternal affection—the negro must finally sao
comb to the white race. I give you these foots
without any comment of my own, to show you
that the hatred of colored rule is fixed deeply
in every Southern breast. Even at this very
hoar a boarder has left the house we ere now
stopping at (in New Orleans), because tbe land-
lady will not allow him to bring borne Lieut..
Gov. Pinchbaok (oolored) to dinner. She told
me not an hour ago that she dare not do it, as it
needed only a spark to fan the flame now smold
ering ; aud were it known in the city that she
admitted a oolored man to dine, her house would
be mobbed.
A Federal Officer Shoots and Kills a
Discharged Soldier.
We find the following in the Charleston News
and Cornier of Monday. Captain Gallagher is,
we presume, the same offioer who was present
at the last State Fair held in this oity in obsrge
of the military band from Huntsville, Ala.:
Orangeburg, May 5.—List evening a dis
charged soldier from the command of Captain
Gallagher, stationed at this place, while nnder
the inflaenoe of liquor, met Captain Gallagher
on the street, slapped him on the back in a
familiar manner, saying that he felt himself as
good as anybody, and asked him to take a drink.
This the captain refused to do, and was express-
ing his indignation at the soldier’s familiarity,
when tbe latter slapped him in the face. Cap
tain Gallagher went immediately to his qnarters
and, arming himaelf with a pistol, wont in
search of his assailant. He soon found the sol
dier sud shot him on sight, killing him in
stantly. Captain Gallagher was promptly ar
rested and is now lodged in jail.
