T'ib dowry of the late Queen Mercedes
was returned to her father, the Due de
Montpenaicr, by King A lphonso. but he
refused to rooeivo it. The King thought
that in retaining it, he was doing an in-
justice to tho children of his brolhcrs-in-
law, hut tho Duko was decided on tho
point. The King therefore rotains the
Falace of Castilleja do la Guests, near
Seville, and the jewels of bis deceased
wife. The money received has been
appropriated to tho poor.
A great invasion of kangaroos recently
occurred ia various settlod parts of Ans.
tralia, especially Queensland, tho animals
being no doubt driven from the interior
by the drought and iti effects in
Bearch of food. They came in thou
sands, devouring everything in the
ahapo of herbs or grain, so that
the sheep and cattle were often reduced
to dry leaves for fodder. The colonist
promptly met the attack, in oomo cases
driving the kangaroos into on enclosure
and shooting them. In tho battle more
than 4.000 kangaroos wero killed in four
days.
Maintaining a Citt’s Credit. —The
mayor of Louisville, Ky., has vetoed tbo
city council's appropriation ordinance,
because it nbirk-.d provision for paying
tbo interest on tho city's Hosting debt.
He pointedly informed them that ho
would approve no appropriation bill
which docs not in tbo fullent protect tho
honer and credit of tho city, nnd will
fight tins repudiation of interest to tlio
hittur eud in tbo few shoit months yot
remaining of his official existence. Ry a
vote of nine to nine the council unstain

Tun Rev. Dr. Prime, editor of tho New
YorK Observer, has been spending some,
months on Iho continent of Eotope, and
making cpecisl inquiry into tho dtinhing
habits of tho people, in ten months,
during which ho visited tho chief cities
of France, Germany, and Italy, where
tho universal tipple is light wino or beer,
ho saw just ono person drunk. In one
city of 55,070 inhabitants thero was but
a single arrest for drunkeness during
forty days. Tho reverend doctor reaches
tho conclusion, which is not a discovery
by any means, that drunkenness is the
exception in tho wine drinking corntrios
of southern Ec-opo.
Th* Souin Carolina Conflict,—A
western press dispatch says Mr. Earl
has had a full conference with Judge
Bond, at Baltimore, and tho conrso to bo
pursued in Soath Carolina has been deer
ded upon. Judgo Bond will proceodat
onco to that State if it becomes neces
sary to hold a session of his Court. The
writ of habeas coipus whioh has already
been issued will Is again served upon
tho Sheriff, and it is now believed, sines
tho authorities hero have decided to use
all the means at their control to transfer
the caao to tbo O-rcuit Court of tho Uni-
tod States, that no farther opposition
will ho mado by the officers of tho Stato
Courts. If tbo prisoners aro tuned over
to tho Marshrl, it is possible that their
cace wi'l bo heard by tho Ur-ted States
District Judgo of that Circuit, bnt if it
becomes necessary a session of the Cir
cuit Court itself will bo called.
Heat on tbs Pacific Coast.—Speak
ing of tho hot weather just experienced
east of the Rocky Mount Vis, tho San
Francisco Chronicle says thero has nover
been n well-authenticated caso of sun
stroke in California, although it in not
unusual for the theimoroeter tx riso to
112 degrees in some parts of that Stato
aud to 10C degrees end 108 degrees in
Sacrament) and Marysville. In June
1859, from tbo effects of a sirocco blowing
from tbo Colorado doert, Ike thermome
ter mailed 122 d«g.-<Ms in Stanislaus
county and 133 degrees iu tho shadoat
various places ia San Bernardino and
Santa Barbara counties. At tbo mines
110 degrees to 114 degrees ia Ike shade
has not been uncommon; yet eo pure and
dry is the atmosphere there that tbou
sands of minors have worked all day in
the sun, during the greatest heat, with
out prostration. In San Francisco the
temperature is much lower than in tbo
interior of the State, and seldom rites
much above 70 degrees; bnt during the
last two years the heat, perhaps on ac
count of dry winters and intermissions in
the trade winds, has been greater than
formerly, tlie summer of 1S77 having
been the hottest in the Ihistory of the
State. June 12,1876, the thermometer
rose to 95 degrees, aud June 11, 1877, to
99 degrees. Those two years have also
beep marked by an unusual mortality,
owing, possibly to the heat and to the
miasmatic north wind.
Stag nation In Hews.
Blsaaod are those periods in history, ,
of which there is nothing to tell. The j
current of human affairs glides smoothly
and gently alcng and men are happy,
though they may be unconscious of the
fact. Misfortune and trouble are csien-
tial to a just appreciation of the bless
ings of a quiet and undisturbed carter.
■War teaches us the value of peace. Fam
ine illustrates tho importance of gcod
harvests and plenty of bread. Pest : lenco
shows what estimation we should place
on the blessing of general health. Tyr
anny tenchrs us to prize freedom. We
never realize the Taluo of the roof which
covers ns so vividly as when it ia burnt.
And so it is, that the humdrum of hu
man affair#, unrelieved by great events,
which are almost always great misfor
tunes to somebody, becomes t<-esome a
Wo throw aside the morning paper with
impatience, because thero is nothing in
it—nothing bnt the tranquil and placid
current of ordinary human affaire, in a
prosperous condition.
Happily this is the situation of the world
jost now, and the newspapers are dn’l.
There has been no senettion for months.
We do not mean to say that human misery
and wrong do not still find frequent and
daily illustrations. That they will always
do. Bnt the day of great calamities—of
political and sooisl btorma and tempests
has passed and an atmosphere of poaco
and trsaquil'lty is pervading tho universal
horizon.
We need to reflect and to remember in
order to realize the great change which
has taken plaoe in the general condition
of tho Sontbern States. All of them now
are os tranqu’l as a milt pond. Even or
dinary crime is less frequent in them now
than any other portion of the civilized
world. Tho two great race divisions aro
moving on in aimoet uninterrupted har
mony, and the prooeis cf se’f-rtjustmcnt
was never ao rapid and satisfactory.
There is no news in the Booth—no ovenla
—no disturbances—no collisions—no vi
olence. The din of s'rife hushed a
onoo when.the efforts to keep it aliye for
party ends were finally defeated and
conod. Blessed are times of “no nows'
to ns. Wo have nothing to toll bnt of
growing and gathering orops, of selling
and having, of marryiDg and giving in
marriage, of births nnd deaths. Long
raay it bo before this serenity shall be
again disturbed by startling end abnor
mal events.
Stxtft District congressional

The celobrated sand pear from Thom

At this time, the exhibitor, Mr. L.
Varncdoe, and many others in Thomas

Wo shall not invado tho province of
tho “local” by any description of the va-
rions tables, savo to mention that Mrs.
Thomas Hardeman, Jr., had a tempting
display of figs, grapes, pears, etc., etc.
from her own garden in Vineville, and
the table of Mr. S. T. Jenkins, of Ran
dolph county, showed that Southwest
Georgia is the natural homo of tho grape,
apple, pear and peach. His frnit was
universally admired, and tho luscious
wine, also, which was produced at his
“Harvest Homo” farm near Cuthbert,
was pure and os good as any of Califor
nia vintage.
We saw Bartlett and Duchess pears
also, equal to the best in any market, and ;
indeed, tho entire exhibition was credit
able in tho highest degree.
There is an untold amount of wealih
awaiting tho industry of the South Geor
gia liorticulturalist in the production and

and vegetables. All that is lacking is
liberal freight schedule, which should be
accorded without delay.
When will our railroads see the truo

As the meeting cf the Board of Trus

further articles relating to it for the
present. In this connection, we would
state, however, that the Telegraph will

ougino until within a few yards of them,
although the engineer blew his wbistle
only two hundred yards below. Instead
ot tho horso being reined back and await

stood on tho track until tho train was
within a few feet, and then turned sud
denly and startod up the track. Tbe

I’arly History.
BY UEBBERT FIELDKff.
The people sometimes grow overzsal
ons nnd not rnfrequently become com
paratively indifferent abont popular
rights.
They should never be oarelesa about
facts rianspirirg that me to be woven
into history, for our descendants have
a piicelt a treasure in expectancy, in the
knowledge ot tho canseB tbat will have
produced the effects they shall witne h.
Recent spatring between distinguished
officials, who desire still further promo
tion, e i to the p ~.ioular history of tlife
Den ooratio prrty in Georgia, nnd IU6
prominence tbRt has been given to it by
tho pri?3, seem to call for a better nn.
dere* wiring than now prevrtls, especially
aa the i ‘nicry of political parlies is in
great part the history of our times.
Tbo introduction of 9 short statement;
precedent to orr present status, is essen
tial to a clear unde: .tanding of it.
The origin of American politios was
the struggles of British subjects for their
righ' > ruder tho British Constitution. It
was not opporrtion to the government
Iu Euglandpho men in favor with the
throne rnd blindly supporting its polioy
and defending i*s assumptions of power,
were Tories. Those in opposition, dam
oring for tho tightr of British subjects,
were Whigs.
Across tho water here, tbe class of me
who would have been Whigs in England
became Rebels. Those who would bavo
been Tories there, were Tories here, sup
porting tho rsanmptions of the crown'
against the clamors of tbe colonists for
their rights ns British r,objects. They
became nt liut enemies nnd traitors to
the canso of liDerty, when liberty de
manded Reparation from and independ
ence of tbo mother country.
The formation of tbe new government!
laid tbo foundation of parlies in it that
have xisen aud fallen under tho ebbing
and flowing of tho popular waves of pae
sion and prejudice—under tbo iDflucnco
of the pnitienlar issues of the different
periods in onr history. In the beginning
ono party was ns good, pure and patriotic
ns the other. The men in tbo convention
that framed tho Fedoral Constitution,
who favored a strong central govern
incut, were 113 honest ns thoso who favor
ed tho reservation of powers to tho
States and people. Bnt thoro was then
no difference of opinion that tho govern
mont was ono of limited powers, and
that tho Constitution was to be the grant
of, and restriction upon, its powcre.^^H
Tho potty in favor of popular rights
prevailed. But tho popularity of Wash
ington, whoso sympathies were overruled
in tho convention, overrated all oppoei
lion to him. But tho mind of tbe now
Union in favor of 11 strong gov
ernment by construction, instead
a direct grant of powers in tho
Constitution, called Mr. Adams to
the Presidency. The Hamilton school
was in tho ascondent nt tbo end of eight
yonrs’ trial. But four years under Adams
gavo vigor nnd renewed lifo to tho Jeffor
son school, growing ont of abases in Fed-
ernl power.
Tho party in power has always drawn
to tho goveirment, for its own benefit,
prerogatives not warranted. Tho party
ont of power has invariably sought
strength by defondingpopnlar rights,
was so then. Mr. Jefferson seized upon
tho unpopular measures of Adams’ ad
ministration to give effect to the trno
theory of the Federal Government. The
Virginia resolutions nnd Mr. MndiHon'i
report on them, and tho rosolntions by
Mr. Jefferson, adopted by the new State
of Kentucky, defining tho rights of the
people and tho limits of power in the
Federal Government, made tbe platform
of principles that have been worshipped
by loveis of liberty ever since.
It rented and extinguished all opposi
tion, elected Jefferson, Madison and Mon
roe each twioe to the Presidency. The
Jefferson party were oa'led Kcpnbl
cans, as that name described the devotion
of their lenders to popular rights. The
Hamilton and Adams school, favoring
strong Federal Government, were called
Federalists. And neither party at first
was ashamed of its name.
After 24 years of retirement tho Federal
party brought forward tbe younger Adams
under tho popular name of Federal Re
publicans — combining tho oufs against
the ins—and succeeded.
The origin of tho name Democrat was
tbat the Republicans, to distinguish
themselves from the Federalists, who had
stolen their name in part, called them
selves Democratic Republicans, and under
that name they restored power to tbe
party under the lead of Andrew Jackson
Abuees under bis administration gave
rise to nullification, a local issue, as was
that of the Hartford Conventionists.
North, in the time of Madison. Tho
men who had been strongest for Jackson
as a representative of the rights of tbo
people, opposed his re-election, and form
ed in tho South a State Rights party,
which was ineffectual for tho want of tho
national organization. The Democratic
.Republicansdropped,,tbo latter word .in
their name, and triumphed in tbo olec
tion of Mr. Van Buren against the dis
organized hosts who opposed him.
Jn four years this opposition was solidi
fied and organized, dropping in the South
tbo name of NuIIifier, and that of State
Rights, and taking the national name of
Whig, a name which was popular, be
cause in England it bad for ages denoted
opposition by the people to unauthorized
power by the government. Tho party
swept tho country, and elected General
Harrison.
From this brief recital, without de
scending into the disoassion of details to
show itd correctness, I wish to dedace a
conclusion, tbat ia of tbo most vital im
portance lo oar peoplo. It is, that nntil
sinoe tbe late war, there never was a fed
eral party properly eo-callad in the Sooth.
The content on aeis of administration aud
issues of Stale polioy, raged fnrionsly,
Lnt wa- limited bj the best understood
tenets of Jefferson Republicanism. The
contest was wbiob of the Whig and Dem
ocratic parties were tbe beat exponents
and representatives of Republican doc
trines. The method of assault imost ef
fective, was to cbarce and prove if they
oonld that the opponents were tinclnred
with fe-'eraiism. No man or party avow
ed tbe defnnet and odions doctrines of
that patty.
Whatever of merit there was in tbe
oontest, as to which party were the beat
State rights, or Republicans, in tbe
South, the alignments of both with
national par [its respectively, cams each,
into tbe measures and ideas ot tboee or
ganizations, or drove them into oppesite
affiliations. Tbe Southern Whigs, whose
original organization was before on tbe
leadiog idea of State rights, had to follow
the national oolors, into the opposite ex
treme or qmt and join the Democracy.
And the accnmnUtion of Bach caaees,
as time advanced, ultimately exung-
gniehed that party in the Sonlh,
and drew its material worth into
solid and fanatical organization upon
*
ecticual issue-. The existing opposi
tion to slavery drew off leaders and peo
ple from the ranks of the n&tioral Dem
ocracy North, until that party was driven
from power by tho party that succeeded
the Whigs, and assumed the popular his
toric name Republican.
Some of the most gifted leaders of the
Nullification and State Eights party in
the South refused to organize with the
National Whigs, and joined the Democ
racy In the rapport of Mr. VanBoren in
18-40. Others acceded in 1844 in support
of Mr. Jfolk; seme in 1S52 in support of
Mr. Pierce, having in tho meantime acted
with the Southern Eights Democrats on
tho settlement of the issues growing ont
cf the compromise of 1850 upon the sub-
iect of the acquisition of territory from
Mexico.
Some who wera bitterly opposed to the
Democratic party nntil 1850, then acted
with tho party in opposing Kuownothing-
ism: aud thence affiliated with it until
the issue of secession arose, while many
of tho lifelong opponents of the Demo
cratic party, who have Binco beejmo
leaders in it, never sympathized or acted
with it until the issues of the war had
literally exterminated every opposition to
it here, except the Republicans, and
when they found themselves thoroughly
identified with it on alt subsisting issues.
In behalf of history and the justice duo
to the old veterans, and in honor of the
memory of many who aro dead, I ear
nestly beg leave to assure those gentle
men, who became distinguished by their
continued years of open and vindictive
war on Democracy, and who came into ite
support after the last plank of opposing
platforms, and tho laBt hope of opposing
organizations, were swept away, by the
surges of the billows of stirring time,
that they need not be so intensely exer
cised about when, where, or by whom the
party was reorganized, or rehabilitated.
For it never was disbanded. It suffered
defeat, and its action was suspended by
the fury of issues, at times, tbat rose
above party, and prevont-d separate par
ty action.
It was so in several of the Southern
States, which, by legislative acts, called
Stato Conventions, to determine their
course on tho action of tho Government,
excluding onr institutions from all tho
publio territories—in 1850—Whigs and
Democrats acted together, or against
each other, according to their respective
opinions on the temporary issuo3 then
agitated. When thoso States, by con
ventions, had decided to abide the settle
ment Congress had made, the same na
tional Democratic party, with many valu
able accessions from their ancient
anomies, which had supported Van Buren
against Harrison, l’olk against Clay,
and Cass agninst Tayior, united
in the Gupport of Franklin Pieroo in 1852
—James Buchanan in 185G—and John
C. Bteckonridge in 18G0—aud the party
the Union supported George B.
MoClellan for President in 1864—whilo
both parries there wore fighting us.
In Georgia iho same Democratic! party
that supported Johnson again&t -Jen
kins in 1853, and Andrews in 1855
aud which supported Joseph E. Brown
against Benjamin U. Hill in 1857, and
against Wanon Aiken in 1859, also voted
fur and elected him as tbo parly noiuineo'
ngainst Judgo Nisbet in 18G1 nnd against
Joshua Hill and T, M. Fnrlow, nominees
of their respoctivo opposing parties in
18G3—while the war was progressing.
Tho party did not disband or abandon
il3 principles. We had followed tho
teachings of Jefferson and Calhoun, and
the elm-H of great Sontbern Statesmen into
the torriblo bnt lcgiosl eequonoo of se-
aefldon.
Tbo opposition nndor tho names of
Whig, Constitutional Union, American or
Knownotbing, opposition and co-opera
tion b id followed tho leaders warring on
Democracy nntil they were left no nlter-
netivo. But to join in dofeiiHo of thoir
St.'Jo against invasion and subjugation
—and with roforenoo to that putriutto
object nud aim which roso above all par-1
ties, thero was a fusion of moh and aban-
torment of party distinction nnd party
lines.
It was a part of Democratic policy,seces
sion policy,if tho expression is preferable,
to ullay all opposition on part of tbo peo
ple, who had opposed anil voted against'
the movement. Tho mode adopted, and
which succeeded, was to appoint their
popular leaders to tho placc3 of honor.
Somo of them who had opposed the se
cession of their own, worn tont as com-
mjsaioncra to persuade other States to
join us and go out. Somo of thorn were
placed in lieu of eccessicn members of tho
United States Congress, nnd aent as dele
gates to frame tho new government at
Montgomery, and, for tho same reason,
permitted to remain in tho civil depart
ment through tho wholo war.
In this connection, thoro nro two nr
three oft repenteddfrors Mint, uncorrocted,
are likely to bo woven into history—that
ought to bo corrected in our day.
It has beon sometimes said that mov
ers of the revolution, in their magna
nimity to thoBO who had opposed it,
placed its fortunes and destiny in tho
hands of its enemies. This is not truo in
fact. Tho men who wero called into tho
Executive Department, tho Cabinet and
Congress, wero from both tho old and op
posing parties—of equal integrity and
virtuo and patriotism—who had differed
in judgment on issues then past, but in
accord and sympathy upon tho matters
then in hand.
As tho revolution progro.-ped,
differences of a very grave
character arose between good men
in high places, as to the best method of
conducting the war, and finally as to
when and how it should ba terminated.
Some good men had moro faith than oth
ers in final success. Somo from divers
causes, tbat might bo specified, became
apathetic. Others, from more promi
nence given them, were by far too hope-
fal.
But it is a fact I wish to empbasiza—
that thoso who had opposed secession
upon tho dictates of their judgment, or
from tho effect of party affiliation and as
sociation, saw in tho development of a
war for subjugation, amplo grounds to
doubt their wisdom in offering tho meas
ures that precipitated, what they then
saw was inevitable at some period. This
mado them, in tho cabinet, tho legisla
tive hall, and in tho field truo friends to
tho revolution.
Those who had advocated tho extreme
measures that lead to hostilities, soon
saw enough of tho reality to inspire them
witn resptet and forbearance toward the
-men who had opposed it. Tho effeot
was, all cordially agreed and co-operated
in a cause which had made them common
friends. This qualification, with excep
tions. applies to leaders and people.
Another assertion that ib erioueous is,
that the men who opposed secession,
wero the men who went to the field to de
fend tbe country when war came. In
this regard, men were not affected by
the question, whether they had voted
for or against secession. With
many it was enough to know
that there was n fight in which
their own State and section was a party;
that there was a call that appealed to
their manhood and courage to defend
their homes and tbe honor of their seo-
ticn. Such men did not stop to consider
tha origin or probable result of the strug
gle. This applies as well to leaders as to
people who bad been oppoeed to secession.
Some of them, like some of the secession
men, did not volunteer, but stood out until
carriedinby conscription,acd some bold
ing civil offices never went at all. There
ie no censure against the men who op
posed secession for not fighting. But
when it ia claimed tbat when war came,
which they nought to avert, they, as a
class, were the men who rushed to arms
to defend the South, the statement is
unsupported.
In a spirit, more to be condemned, it
has beeu moie often charged that the
men who voted for secession refused to
fight, and left the cause to be defended
by those who had voted against it.
This charge, whenever and by whom
soever made, is a slander, and if reported
in history, history itself will be a slander
upon the dead as well as living.
There were a few to whom the criti
cism applies. Iam cue of the men who
voted for delegates to the State Conven
tion who favored secession, but who were
defeated and Union men elected, from
physical weakness never fought in battle,
had all the chagrin at the close, from a
consciousness that I had no share in the .
glory of the conanercd Confederate sol
dier#, and bitterly cursed my brothers and
numerous kindred, their bloody soldiers’
graves, when fully believiDg, as I theD
did, that tho bayonet had effectually ex
tinguished constitutional liberty in this
conntry. I feel that I can freely speak
of the men who with patriotism and
courage—many of them without skill—
went promptly to the field.
Their graves are in all tho burying
grounds of the war. The light of lib
erty, wherever it was loved, shone around
them by day, and the very stars shed
tears of pitying admiration on them by
night. Many of them survived the
struggle; some have been honored with
office and place; somo have been refused;
others have no: asked for reward. But
of them all, nono have b?en so false as
to claim exclusive honor in the defense
of the lost cause.
In regard to the party after tho war,
it took no action and had no history dur
ing tho reign of the general government
through tho military power. Tho people,
by permission of that power, held a State
convention and elected a Legislature and
Representatives in Congress. Tho mem
bers of the Legislature nominated and
the people elected great and good men—
Mr. Jenkin3, Governor; Mr. Stephens
and Mr. Johnson, Senators—men who
wore supposed to bs least obnoxious to
Federal power, because wo were%ubdued
and desired peace:
Tbo State administration was soon
brokon up. The National RepnblleanB
saw the necessity of impeaching a Deuio-
crat.whom they had placed in power to
aid in onr overthbow, being a Southern
man, and in procuring the votes of the
lately rebellious States, in order to pre
vent tho triumph of the national Demo
cratic party in 186S. Reconstruction was
their scheme. A part of that scheme was
the enfranchisement of tho colored man
and tho disfanchisement of enough nbites
to give the Republican party the ascen
dency m thoso States.
Nothing can bo claimed for or alleged
against tho Democratic party of Goorgia
during that period. Its action was sus
pended. Tho peoplo did act in some re
spects, and refused to act in others.
They refused, except in a few counties,
to represent themselves in tho foroed eou-
stitntional convention cubed to recon
struct tho State. This course was against
the advicoT gave my neighbor#,' and iq
compliance with the advice of men in
whose wisdom they had moro confidence.
The convention had been elected. Ex
cept a few, it was composed of colored
men and whito Republicans. It was
about to nsaembls in Atlanta, when, un-!
der a call from Mr. Hill, there was a
State convention of delegates from tho
people held in tho city of Mrcod, De
cember, 18G7. I was a silent delegate
from Randolph county, for, after all tho
debate, no rash action was taken, and I
had nothing to do.
In those days some of our pub
lio men and journals wore very
bold — said and did much to en
courage our own poople, and
that was, by others, enppostd to keep
allvo tho enmity of the Northern people,
and oonteqnuutly of the Federal Govern
ment towards ns, nnd to delay tho period
of cassation to oppression and wrong
from that source to this whole nee tion.
Other leaders wero silent—-some from
foar perhaps—others from motives of du
ty to enr peoplo. They wore nod- r Iho
ban of tbo Government for what they had
done to bring on Bnd carry on the war.
There wore many of them who, it ia still
supposed, wonld have served their coun
try more offeotnaliy by remaining silont
and inactive longoi—perhaps for lifo.
Thero was no party uorion, properly
so-oallod, until tho appronoh of tho Pres
idential onnvoss of 1868. Thero was
tbon no now party formed; no old one re-
orgar'zod. Bnt the Dcmoointia party of
this and other Staten, in harmony with ttm
national party, wont forward in Iho nsnal
mode. Wo represented ourselves in the
nominating oonvontion—bad fu'l execu
tive oomimtteps nnd electors, nnd carried
tho Strlo for Soymonr nnd Blair. At
that time we deolareil onr principles, and
reiterated them from timo to tirno after
wards.
How long this party is to ho maintain
ed ia a question wliioh the fntnro alone
osn st ive- This lunch I bavo thought
proper to say of Us history in the past.

The Blackest Crime on Record*
X. T. Times. 1
It appears Jhat some months since a
married lady of BcstoD, of great refine
ment and beauty, and occupying a prom
inent social position, had been visiting
friends in tho interior of this State, and
when leaving took a drawing-room car
on tho New York Central railroad for
Albany, where her husband awaited her.
Two villians followed into tho car, prob
ably attracted by the valuable jewelry
she wore, and when the conductor ap
proached the lady lor her ticket, informed
him they were her friends, and that she
was deranged, and they unfortunately
had been salectcd to convey her to tho
Utica Asylum. In spite of ncr protes
tations and appeals for protection the
scoundrels succeeded in convincing the
conductor and passengers of the truth
0! thoir story and removed tho lady from
the cars at Uriel, she swooning as the
train moved away. She was then lifted
into a coach, chloroformed, taken to a
honso of ill repute, and outraged and
robbed of her jewolry and clothing. The
husband learned of his wife’s alleged in
sanity when the train arrived at Alb my,
and procuring a special engine, started
for Utica without delay. Upon arriving,
a few inquiries enabled him to find the
disreputable house where his wife had
been taken, ahd there he found her lying
upon a bed, almost stripped of her clotn-
ing, and her mind seriously injured by
her terrible experience. No names aro
given from consideration of delieaoy.
Her husband has made every effort con
sistent with privacy to discover the fiends,
but eo far without avail.
