THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The democrat.c mur-ty eEer-utive co>m
mittee, in their meeting Baturday, worked
in aecret session with cioaed d-x.rs, and
would not admit representatives of tha
press, for the reason, they said, of having a
matter up for disc ission wt.ca tier did not
w.*fc given to tbe public. Tney were kind
enoug , however, to appoint a committee
cf three to coll over tbe minute* and give
the newspaper men such a* tney
w-ahed printed, tbe substance of which was
wired to the UOUUO News Saturday
night However, live newspaper czjrre
ipondent# a ways have a way of getting at
the fac?A even of secret neasioos. fha mat
ter under discustton was whether or not
Miles H. Johnszin should be reinstated a* a
member of the committee, and thereby
bangs a tale.
In !v# Miles H. Johnson, representing
precinct eleven in the executive committee,
then supposed to be a working democrat,
went straight from a meeting .f the com
mittee into the opera bouse, where a negro
republican convention was in session, ac
cepted at its hands the nomiriat.on for
county tax collector on the republican
ticket, made the race and was defeated by
R. A. Shine, the democratic nominee.
Notwithstanding this action, Johnson con
tended that he was a good democrat and
entitled to admittance into tne sezret coun
cils of the committee. Of course this was
not permitted during tbe campaign. Now
that anotner campaign is beginning, John
son wanted to get back into the executive
committee and have the same standing
with the Democratic party that was his
before be tolted. This is tne question that
was before the democratic executive com
mittee Saturday, ami it is needless to say
that Mr. Johnson was not reinstated. Tbe
committee want him to prove bis fealty to
the Democratic party before they again
recognize tim and admit him into tbe fold
in such an important position as a member
of the executive committee.
The committee recommended R. J. Ban
ner man for appointment as supervisor of
registration for this county.

He Was Intimate With.
Athens, Ga., June 23.—Report that a
negro had been killed near Nicholson on the
Northwestern railroad reached here to day.
Prince Smith, a negro farmer, accused
Luther Hall, another negro, of being too
Intimate with his wife, and threatened to
kill him if he still persisted. The two met
Friday evening at Nicholson, and became
involved in a difficulty. Hall used his
pistol and Smith took rocks. Hall fired
twice with no serious result, and then
stated that ho would go to his
house and get his shot-gun and kill Smith.
He kept hii word, for as soon as he again
appeared on the scene he let his opponent
have tho contents of one barrel. Hmith
died soon after, and Hall made his escape
and is still at largo. It is said that the good
people of the vicinity are indignant at the
proceeding and will request Gov. Gordon to

CULPEPPEH3 MURDERER.
A Belief that the Guilty Negro in Under
Arreet.
IV at cross, Ga. , June 23.—The negro
murderer who killed young Deputy Sheriff
Culpepper has been arrested and is supposed
to be Lvde Chaffers. He was brought here
last night from Scrivec, where he was ar
rested in the swamp. He was shot three
time*, breaking his leg in three places.
Probably his leg will have to be amputated
above the knee. The negro gives his name
as Bobby Caswell. Opinion as to his guilt
is divided. There is good circumstantial
evidence. The excitement is high.
THE TOWS EXCITED.
Some excitement was occasioned to-night
on account of a rumor that the negroes had
held a meeting and threatened to take up
arms against the civil authority on account
of the shooting and capture of a negro near
.Screven named B. Casswell, who
was supposed bo be tbe man who
murdered Deputy Sheriff Culpepper
here last week. On account of
the threats that came from negroes during
tha day, the authorities at once ordered
the military to hold themselves in reaziiness,
and also called upon the citizens to be pre
pared for any emergency. Cool beads and
sober judgment wUlcharacterize any move
nv-nt on the part of the whites, and
there will be no rash step taken by them.
There is no present prospect of bloodshed,
and at this hour all is as qniet as death, the
negroes having taken the hint and dispersed
or failed to muster, if they at any time had
any idea of doing so.

approaching a strange mac on a white

baaed, nothing xncanny happened, and tne
wife wa* eooqner.xg her umsasmess, wbzen

a servant enter'd to hand ha- a letter. The
seal was hastily broken. She read tbe an
n-uncement of her husb>nd’s sudden death
and fell to the fo r. The dream of the man
rtdixg on a white torse was twice repeated
in the same futnilv dunng the late war,
when the *am- dread news followed.
Deft a widow with two young sons,
wealthy and :n the very tight of her
charms, Mrs. Hail soon held again her sway
of queen of society. To be near her brother
and furrounde. by f nen Is she established
a residence in Frederick “burg, where she
disper-eed an opulent hospitality. After a
few years amid the gayedos of" the season
there shone upon the town a bright theatri
cal sta*. when the handsome young English
man, James H. H. l aid well, stepped upon
the s age b-f re the foot.ights of Fredericks
burg's F. F. Vs. Heralded by fame, forti
fied with introductory letters to certain gen
tlemen of tbe t wn from friends of similar
s-ocialstaudiiig in .sew York, curiosity and
expectation err at fever heat at the theater,
wcere tne ladies were radiant in silks and
diamonds.
Tae play was “Romeo and Juliet.” The
young actor excei.ed in the portrayal of its
passion. There was a sensation in the audi
ence when, during the death scene, th 9
widow sighed and suddenly fainted.
Friends rushed to her aid with fans, smell
ing salts, cologne and cold water until the
pale beauty could be helped to her carnage
and was quickly driven home.
Tbe widow and the act r met and loved,
but ail the aristocratic allied clans of the
Halls warmly arrayed themselves in lines
against the marriage. One frietd and
relative with whom she had ever been
a favorite was true to her cause. He
was the nephew of Washington, Maj.
Robert Lwis. Their residences adjoined,
and one morning through the garden fence
a trembling vot e called, “Cousin Robert,”
to a gentleman walking and smoking
among the flowers. He turned to answer,
and saw Mana on tiptoe looking over the
paling. She pleaded passionately that he
would attend her rnarr. age, but he refused
to be present at first. Not many tears were
shed before Cou in Robert consented against
bu convictions to attend the ceremony aad
bestow the hand of the beautiful widow
upon the handsome actor. The clergyman
of 8b George's church officiated, and be
sides Col. Lewis aad the doorkeeper, no one
else was preser.b
Tbe wife persuaded the husband to aban
don his profession, and he became restive
under her imperious will. Bhe would not
follow him and heco dd not be content out
side of bis profession, although he settled in
New Orleans, where tbe foundation of his
fortune was laid. Unfortunately, the wife
disliked the climate and city and spent
most of her time at her Virginia home,
where the two sons of her first marriage
were growing to manhood. Two children
were born of her union with Mr. Caldwell.
The first, a son, William Shakspeare, ani
the second, a daughter, Sophie. Both of them
inherited the beau yof their parents, with
hazel eyes, auburn hair, running to chestnut
later in life, features perfectly formed.
The career of William Shakespeare Cald
well is too well known to need review, his
financial tae.nt increasing the hands<.ma
fortune he inherited, and was further en
larged by a marriage with a Kentucky
heiress, Miss Eliza Breckinridge. Sophie
Caldwell, after her mother’s death, married
a son of the distinguished Dr. Dean of
Richmond, but did not live many years,
and the widow at her death Lequeartied to
her brother Shakespeare an additional
fortune of SOOO,OI/1.
To this son and daughter Jame3 H. Cald
well was probably devoted. He gave to
them handsome incomes during his life, and
left them splendid fortunes when he died.
To their mother he often sent princely
presents, and after their separation wrote
such 1 zving letters she would shed tears
while reading them. M try Carter Caldwell
lived for some years in Virginia, not far
from the plantation residence of her son,
Dr. Carter, Warner Wormely, where she
spent most of her time. She died in Rich
mond, and was buried at Holywood cem
etery.
HE CAN DECLARE WAR.
Unusual Power Given to the President
By Congress.
Washington Correspondence of the Boston
Traveller.
Among the powers of congress expressly
set forth in the constitution of the United
States is that of declaring war, and yet this
congress has directly placed that right ia
the hands of President Harrison. Both
branches have passed a joint resolution in
this most extraordinary language:
Resolved, by the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives of the United States of America in
congrt-s assembled. That the President of the
United Stat-s lie and he is hereby authorized
and empowered to take such measures as in his
judgment may be necessary to promptly obtain
indemnity from the Venezuelan government
for injuries, losses and damages suffered by the
Venezuelan Steam Transportation Company of
New York and its officers by reason of the
wrongful seizure, detention, and employment
in war or otherwise of said company’s steamers
here, the San Fernando and Nutrias, by the
Venezuelan belligerents in the year 1871, and to
secure this end he is authorized to employ such
means or exercise such power as may be
necessary.
If the President sees fit to seed an armea
force down to Venezuela and start a war he
is amply empowered to do so, in case that
government refuses to step up to the
captain's desk mid settle. Never in the
history' of the United States has congress
passed such a sweeping resolution, granting
a President authority to force another gov
ernment to pay au indemnity at the mouth
of shotted camion, and leaving the entire
method and extent of moans to be employed
exclusively to the discretion of the
executive.
