MACON, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1869.
The Natural Alliance between the
West and Month.
We are glad to see the Western prints re
minding their readers that there is anatnral alli
ance between the West apd the South, and their
present combination with the Eastern States to
degrade and destroy ns is equally unnatural and
suicidal. The very soil of the great States of
the West was the free gift of Old Virginia to the
Federal Government—given in the liberality and
magnificent patriotism of her great heart to aid
the infant Hercules who afterwards strangled
her.
The West, so far as the larger portion of her
American population is concerned, is the child
of the South; but if we say nothing of the ties
of oonsanguinity, the West is bound to the
South by her interests so closely that she can
not cripple us without crippling herself. We
are the best customers of the West, bnt she
must back us in our efforts to recover wealth,
if she would have us as useful and valuable as
we can be. We buy of. the West annually just
as much as we can pay for; and we pay her in
money, and not, liko New England, in manufac
tured gimcracks, on which we have compelled
the West to pay sixty per cent, bounty, in the
shape of a protective tariff.
New England is greedily monopolizing the
bank circulation and the bonded wealth of the
country which is exempt from taxation. She
has contrived to effect an almost equal absorp
tion of the power, patronago and influence of
the Federal Government. She dictates the en
tire policy of the consolidated machine, and
controls the political power of the great West, in
opposition to the vital interest of that section.
Why should it be so ? Why should the West
permit he.rself to be used to her own injury for
the oppression and degradation of the Southern
whites—her natural allies—her best customers
—having a common agricultural interest, each
of which is bnt the supplement of the other, and
both of which aro essential to a high degree oj
wealth and prosperity ? Let the West ponder
over these questions.
“Distinction' on Account of Colo a.”—The
Boston Courier is informed that the Indians on
the plains refnso to scalp negro soldiers killed
in battle, while they never fail to take that ad
vantage of the whites every time. The Courier
says this distinction is not founded on capilla
ry reasons, bnt is in contempt of the negro.
The Indians themselves say “niggerno brave—
no warrior.” The Courier therefore denounces
this conduct on the part of the Indians as in
flagrant violation of the new amendments and
the whole reconstruction policy, and calls for its
condign punishment
John and Joseph.—John Forsyth, of the Mo
bile Daily Register, has been hob-nobbing with
Joseph Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, who is on
a visit to Mobile. Forsyth leads the Alabama
Democrats, and Medill is the fugleman of the
Illinois Radicals—oil and water, one would sup
pose, and yet they commingled freely. The
Register says Medill has agreed to take back
some of those rebel atrocity stories; and he
ought to do it 1
Power op the Whale,—The Savannah Re
publican reports that the steamship America,
on the inward voyage off Cape Henry, on the
27th of March last, while going twelve knots,
two large whales were discovered, one of which
rose under the bow, shaking the steamship and
breaking seven feet off the stem, shivering it so
badly that it had to be cut off and repaired.
The whale came to the surface on the port bow
and sunk out of sight. The other whale was
half a mile off toward shore.
State Tax on Liquor Sales.—We have copied
on our outside a circular from the Comptroller
General of Georgia to the Tax Collectors, di
recting them to collect upon all sales of liqnor
in quantities less than thirty gallons, since 1st
January, 18C9, a tax of twenty cents per gallon,
to be devoted to educational purposes.
Sold.—The Montgomery Mail says the Radi
cals sold the “old flag” at public auction,.in
that dty, last Tuesday. It brought three dol
lars, and was purchased by a Conservative, who 1
perhaps, will send it to Mr. Greeley, with the
inquiry whether this is the identical “hate’B
polluted rag ” he used to write about.
Eleven States have now ratified the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution. They are Kan
sas,West Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
Maine, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Pennsyl
vania. On the other hand, Georgia and Dela
ware have rejected the amendment.
Combinino Business and Pleasdre: The Barnes-
ville Gazette says the stockholders of High
Palls Cotton Manufacturing Company will again
meet at the High Falls on May Irt next, at
which time and placo there will also bo a May
party. A large crowd is expected.
Fbost in Floyd.—The Rome Courier of the
Cth says, that on Monday morning there was a do nothing.
Georgia in Congress.
On Wednesday, as appears from a press tele
gram, Butler's hill for tinkering Georgia, was
introduced and attempted to be carried through
under a call, from the author, of the previous
question. This call, however, did not meet with
a second, and a general debate upon the bill fol
lowed, in which it is stated that Mr. Bingham
made an elaborate constitutional argument in
opposition to the bill, and the House adjourned
without action.
We shall, in all probability, get more light to
day ; hut if there is to bo a contest on the bill,
it is at least doubtful whether it gets through
Congress this session. Only two days remain
before adjournment, and there is too much
other work indispensable to be done, to permit
much time to be expended in discussion about
Georgia. .
The dispatch, moreover, inspires the belief
that the opposition to the bill is serious and
weighty, and likely to bo pertinacious. Bing
ham, who takes issue with it, contests with But
ler the position of leader of the administration
party in the House, and probably carries with
bim a larger personal influence. It is said, too,
that he opposed the bill “in an elaborate con
stitutional argument.” The reader might, in
ordinary times, with no great effort of the imagi
nation, anticipate the line of a constitutional
argument against a purposed act of Congress
which should undertake to purge the Legisla
ture of a State and to annnll its legislation. If
the Constitution were considered, in fact, any
thing more than a dead letter, it might well be
conceived that such a proposition, (if there could
possibly be a serious division npon it,) would
excite as earnest, searching and protracted de
bate, as has ever been heard in Congress.
Bnt in the present political demoralization of
Congress and the country, one cannot pretend
to speak with any confidence on such a point.
The Senate has spent daysindiscussingwhether
Gen. Longstreet shall be confirmed in his ap
pointment to an insignificant office in Louisi
ana, while they have not found time to recon
struct that unfortunate State. The aspects in
the House, however, do seem to warrant the
hope of a division upon this bill serious enough
to be fatal to it at the heel of a session when
there is so mnch other business that must he
done.
The President's special message also gives ns
some hope of escape in what it fails to recom
mend. It does not recommend any action in
'the case of Georgia. There is nothing in it
which lends color to the reported assurances he
has made of support and cooperation in Geor
gia reconstruction. He omits to make any
recommendation or suggestion at all in relation
to Georgia; and it is worthy of remark that
those which are made as to Virginia and Missis
sippi are entirely harmonious with the views of
the conservatives in those States.
On the whole, we still live in hope that Geor
gia will be passed by, and escape a third recon
struction this session of Congress. If so, we
shall have a breathing spell of six months or
more. But two days will tell the tale.
Political Proscription.
Much editorial thunder and lightning has been
hurled at the heads of “unreconstructed and
disloyal Southern planters,” because, as is said,
some of them have been guilty of political pro
scription by discharging or threatening to dis
charge from employment noisy and quarrelsome
Radical negro politicians. There was mnch
complaint about this matter, although the occa
sion for it was very inadequate; for we do not
believe that a score of negro laborers in Georgia
have ever been turned out of employment for
political reasons. The practice never prevailed
to any extent—for two reasons: One of these is
the scarcity of labor itself, and the other is that
the practice itself is revolting to the liberal
minds of our people.
Bnt we have in the papers of the day the
meanest development of political proscription
by tho Secretary of the Navy which we think
the country has ever yet seen. The Philadelphia,
newspapers print the following, from the Com
mandant of tho U. S. Navy Yard, at Philadel
phia, to the Superintendent of the Yard:

THE PRESIDENT. ^ ^
I am snre that no man of discernment can
visit Washington City and cooly survey the
scenes there in progress, as I have just done,
without coming to the conclusion that an indi
vidual is now in tho Presidential chair of the
sonndest intellect; of a firm and inflexible will
in regard to concerns of moment, yet most
bland and conciliatory in reference to till mat
ters of trivial import; of a calm and considerate
temper; possessed of much knowledge of men
and of the gt leral motives of human action;
frank and confiding, yet watchful and circum
spect ; with a generous and affectionate temper;
a soul exempt from all low prejudices ana all
stormy passions; a hero, a patriot, and a true
philanthropist. I have seen and known more
or less of the various occupants of the White
House, from the days of James Monroe to the
present moment, and I aver before Heaven and
my countrymen, that it is my deliberate opinion
that there "has not been yet, in the long list of
onr Presidential Chiefs, a man mor o happily fitted
for the performance of executive duties of every
kind, that the illustrious personage who, against
the wishes of many of onr most enlightened and
meritorious citizens was elected in November
last to the highest office in the gift of the Amer
ican people.
All men of sense whom I met in Washington
most freely admit that, however high may be
tho abilities and virtues of Horatio Seymour, it
would have been altogether impossible for him
successfully to meet tho multiplied difficulties
which General Grant is every instant encoun
tering and overcoming, in part, by the aid of
his nneqnaled personal popularity, and in part,
also, by reason of his enjoying tho full con
fidence and respect of almost every leading man
in Congress. Some of the members of his Cab
inet I have formerly known, and known most
favorably, with others I formed a most gratify
ing acquaintance during my sojourn in Wash
ington, and were I now called npon to name
one of them in place of whom I shonld be in
clined to wish some other individual to be sub
stituted, as being probably better suited to the
duties to be performed, I really should not be
able to do so. I was mnch gratified at finding
tho general temper and spirit of Congress greatly
improved of late. There is a prevalent inclina
tion to sustain the President and his Cabinet in
all their efforts to promote the national welfare;
nnkind and discourteous collisions in debate
are seldom known to occur, and I am confident
that there is now an almost universal desire
for the speedy removal of civil disabilities in
the South, in accordance with the known and
constantly expressed desire of Gen. Grant him
self and of his Cabinet advisers.

Practical. Thoughts for the Month.
From the A uffutta CofutitutionalUt.i '
Augusta. Ga. , March 31st, 1889.
To the Planters of Georgia:
It is a well established maxim of political
economy that any country, or section of coun
try, to make itself the most prosperous, must
make itself independent. It is also a well es
tablished fact that the prosperity of a country
depends upon the prosperity of tho producers.
Upon the planters of the South, then, depends
the prosperity of this whole country, and it is a
question of the greatest moment, both to pro
ducers and consumers, what course shall make
tho planters most independent, and bring the
greatest prosperity npon the country. It is not
necessary to allude to past times, or to the po
litical situation to-day. We must_ accept the
“situation” as we find it, and if it is not what
wo desire, i3 it not easier to chango it by com
pelling attention to our wants and needs, by
making ourselves able to depend upon onr own
resources ? If we pay more attention to onr fti
nancial prosperity, shall we not sooner be in a
position to demand all our political rights, and
demand them with success ? for financial power
is quickly felt.
Anything, therefore, that will make the plant
ers prosperous will make the whole country pros
perous, and will bo tho earliest and quickest
solution of your political troubles.
The question then arises, under the changed
labor system, will not a great change in the
method of carrying on plantations be most ad
vantageous!^ Can tho planters of Georgia afford
to devote their entire attention to cotton, to tho
exclusion of com, wheat, rye, oats and such
other products as they must themselves con
sume ? What advantage have they if the whole
amount they receivo from their cotton crops
must bo expended for labor and supplies, with
perhaps a small balance to invest in foreign or
artificial manures, on which to make the next
crop?
The system of. raising all that crop which
brings in tho most money has been tried over
and over again in the North, and every time has
S roved a failure. For the past few years hops
avo brought and extravagant price. From 10
to 75 cents per pound has been realized to
the hop grower, and when it is remembered
that a good crop yields about 1000 pounds per
acre, it need not be wondered at that those sec
tions in which the hop thrives should pay their
attention to hops. Thousands of additional
acres have been set within the last three years,
and farmers have neglected to raise com, oats
and wheat enough for their own wants, depend
ing npon their sales of hops to supply them.
With such a great breadth of hop gardens came
the reaction in the market.
To-day many of the hop growers have two
years crop on hand, and the quotations of the
market are only two to seven cents per pound.
The money received for the crops of previous
years came easily; it went quickly. Such pros
perity induced extravagant habits and depend
ing upon the next crop to meet their future
wants they freely expended, and to-day, with
plenty of hops on hand, with no market, they
suffer tho penalty of their foolishness.
As it has been with hops, so with various oth
er crops, until it is found that it is poor policy
to devote all attention to one crop. As a rota
tion of crops is found to be necessary for the
States of the South not at present represented j proper tilling of their land, so is a division of
in Congress, and though I am not at liberty to j their attention to the various crops as necessary

The late “personal explanation” of Senator

to that paper by Senator Sprague:
To the Editor of the Journal, Providence, R. I.:
Sib—I am in receipt of a slip from your pa

outrageous insinuation that you set forth, will
be answered by me in my place in the Senate.

strike directly at the power of which yon are
the lickspittle, yon and those who control yon
will find that I am indeed in terrible earnest.
Take, therefore, as yon now have, the position

your past dastardly and cowardly one has been.

reasonable persons resident therein have them
selves desired and asked. In none of them is
a harsh and oppressive government to be es
tablished and upheld by military power against
the ascertained will of the people. I will here
state, by way of illustration, some facts which I
personally know in relation to the policy adopt
ed by tho President, with the undoubted appro
val of Congress, in reference to the State of
Mississippi. I chanced to meet the Commis
sioners recently sent from that State whilst in
Washington, and had the honor of conferring
with some of them (Messrs. Brown, Watson, and
Sinunral) more than once in regard to
the grave matters which they had in charge.
These gentlemen will all avouch what I now as
sert, that General Grant very promptly granted
them in behalf of those whom they represented
all that they asked at his hands; that the House
of Representatives, in voting down Gen. But
ler’s bill a week ago, by an overwhelming ma
jority, placed themselves in perfect accord with
the position of the President: and that leading
Radicals in that body, on the most kind ana
confidential terms with the President (Messrs.
Dawes, Farnsworth and others), made manly
and eloquent speeches, in support of the great
principles of constitutional freedom, and against
the proposition to reinstate the defunct Conven
tion there in the powers which it has already so
cruelly abused. ' It is no breach of confidence
for mo to state that worthy and patriotic Sen
ators of the dominant party in Congress gave
the most emphatic assurance to some Of those
commissioners, jin my hearing, that if even the
bill of Gen. Butler shonld pass tho House of
Representatives, it would be defeated in the
Senate by a very decided majority.
LIBERALITY OP THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.
I am justified by these and other facts in as
serting, and I am sore that I can do so without
the hazard of contradiction, that, at the present
moment, the President and his Cabinet, and a
large majority of both Houses of Congress, are
in favor of pursuing such a course, generally,
in the delicate concerns of our section, as will
bo consistentwith justice, with the Constitution,
and with a wise and providing statesmanship.
Important to Distillers and Dealers
In Liquors.
From the Columbut .S’un.J
Mr. Enoch Wile ft, Tax Collector of Muscogee
county, has received circular instructions from
the Comptroller General’s office, dated April
1st, from which we make the following extracts
for the information of liquor dealers and distil
lers:
“ Yonr attention is called to tho following pro
visions of the Tax act approved 18th March,
1869, levying a specific tax, for educational pur
poses, of twenty cents per gallon on every gal
lon of brandy, gin, whisky, or rum, whether for
eign or domestic, sold by any person in this
State, in quantities less than thirty gallons. Un
der theso provisions, every person who has sold,
or shall sell, since the 1st day of January, 18G9,
and before tho 1st day of January, 1870, any of
the above named liquors in any quantity less
than thirty gallons to the same purchaser shall
bo required to retnm the same to yon in yonr
respective counties, under oath, as soon as
practicable after the dose of each quarter of
the year. The first return to be made as of the
1st day of April, the second as of 1st July, the
third as of the 1st October, and the fonrth as of
the 1st day of January, 1870, and so on through
each succeding year. The Tax Collector of
each county shall administer an oath to each
and every person making a return, solemnly
swearing him or her to make a just and true re
turn of all liquor sold by such person during the
preceding quarter in quantities less than thirty
gallons, and shall then and there collect a tax of
twenty cents per gallon in lawful money of the
United States.
Sec. 2. Par. 8. There shall be levied a speciflo
tax for Educational purposes of twenty cents
per gallon on every gallon of brandy, gin, whis
ky or rum, whether foreign or domestic, which
is sold by any person in quantities less than
thirty gallons, in this State, and tho amount
sold shall bo given in under oath. Quarterly
returns shall be made on tho first days of April,
July and October and January in each year, by
all the persons within the county who shall sell
liquors in quantities less than thirty gallons, of
the arnonnt sold the preceding quarter. Said
returns shall be made to the tax collector of the
.county, who shall demand and collect tho tax
due when the return is made. It shall be the
duty of the Tax Collector to require all persons
selling said liquors to make their returns and
pay the tax thereon; and if any person shall
fail or refuse to make his return andpayBaid
tax, he shall be assessed by the Collector a spe
cific tax of one thousand dollars, and the collec
tor shall proceed to oollect the same by execu
tion, ' as in other cases of other taxes due and
unpaid, to go into effect from and after the first
day of January, 1869.”
You will call npon every person liable to pay
fax under the foregoing provisions, to make his
return immediately after the reoeipt of this Cir
cular, for the first quarter, and in like manner
at the expiration of each succeeding quarter.
You will particularly observe that every person
who sells, the quantity being less than thirty
gallons at one sale, is liable to the tax. This
includes regular dealers, as well as distillers and
farmers who distil their fruit and sell the pro
ceeds. Every one who sells, no matter whether
he has license or not, is liable to the tax.
For your “further information and conveni
ence, the following provisions of the same Act
are inserted to-wit:
“See. 2. Par. 7. All vendors of Patent Medi
cine, Liniment or other articles of like character
(except regular merchants and druggists) shall Mm He was

first those supplies which they know they re
quire, and for which their land is well adapted,
devoting all their further energies to the great
staple of the South, they will soon be indepen
dent and their prosperity secured, although the
golden stream may not be so quick and violent
as it might be if they could be assured that high
prices would always rule for cotton, and they
devote all their attention to that.
Again, does not the system of tillage pursued
by a majority of the planters of the South re
quire a change? Can they afford, with labor
they have to pay for, to raise but one bale of
cotton, or ten or eleven bushels of com to the
acre, when they see so many examples amongst
them where those crops have been trebled?
Can they afford to render sterile three or four
inched of ,tha top of the soil, and then forsake
the land and clear up new, when a heavy team
and a subsoil plow woald turn up an almost ex-
hnustless fertility? Can they afl'ord to buy ar
tificial or foreign manures, and pay so little at
tention to the means of fertilization close at
home ? Can they afford to pay from $40 to $80
per ton for phosphates and guanos and leave
that bed of muck so near their broad acres un
disturbed? Eighty dollars expended in draw
ing and composting muck, I certainly believe
will produce twice the effect that eighty dollars’
worth of foreign manures will; but true policy
and scientific tillage demands that both these
sources of fertility shonld be used together.
I merely throw out these hints that you may
think npon them, and perchance benefit your
selves by seasonable action. If you adopt a ro
tation of crops and a system of saving and
making the most of home fertilizers, as well as
a more thorough and deeper tillage of the soil,
some time is required to put them in practice,
and you may bo prepared another season to
make the experiment.
I see no reason why this country, which is
blessed with a native soil as fertile as any in the
country, and a most pleasant, delightful climate,
may not become, as it were, the garden of the
world. That it may be ihus blessed is the sin*
cere wish of your friend,

An Ancient Dattle.
Free from the smoke of a modern engage
ment, a Hellenic battle must have been a gallant
sight In purple tunics and burnished armor,
the men stood ten, fifteen and twenty deep, be
neath a glittering forest of spear beds. Those
who were well to do had no lack of gold abont
their greaves and breast-plates, and were dan
dified in plnmes and sword-belts: while even
tho poorest citizens wore a hermit fashioned by
the exqisito taste of a Greek artificer. It must
have been a trial of the nerves of tho bravest
to stand biting his moustache, humming a bar
of tho piean which he was to sing within the
next quarter of an honr; wondering whether
his widow would marry again; hoping that the
cobler on his right might not turn tail, or the
teacher of gymnastics on his left shove him out
of the line; dimly conscious meanwhile that
his colonel was exhorting him in a series of
well-tuned periods to bethink himBelf of tho
tomb which covered those who died in Ther
mopylae, and tho trophy which stood on the
beach at Artemesium. And then the signal-
trumpet sounded, and the music struck up, and
the whole army moved forward, steadily at
first, but brenking into a run, when only a few
hundred yards separated the approaching lines.
And, as the distance between them grew shor
ter, and the tramp of the enemy mingled with

The New King op Spain.—The Duke of Mont
pensier, who, tho cable says, is to be King of
Spain, is the fifth son of Loois Phillippe, for
merly King of the French. He was bom at
Nuillv, near Paris, in 1824. His cunning father
married him in 1846 to the Spanish Princess
Louisa, the sister of Queen Isabella II and at
the same time brought about the Queen’s
marriage to her imbecile cousin, Francis of As
sisi.' Louis Phillippe supposed that this would
be a childless marriago, and that the children of
the Duke of Montpensier would aooordingly in
herit the Spanish throne. His calculation has
proved erroneous in every way. He himself
died in exile, and for more than twenty years
none of his familv havo seen their native coun
try. Isabella K has a number of children, and
y_ot fhe old King’s principal end will be essen
tially gained when Montpensier himself puts on
the crown of Spain, with a reasonable chance,
as things go, of transmitting it to posterity.

A Detective’s Experience—Behind the
Scenes.
I will tell you,” said Mr. F——, “ of an in
cident that occurred here many years ago. It
possesses me now, aa I' think of it, all the vivid
interest it had then. It was among the first-class
cases intrusted to Mr. I and myseif, and we
devoted to it an unwearying patience and assi
duity that fitted us for their exercise many a
time afterwards. It was in mid-winter that the
circumstance to which I allude occurred. Tho
theatrical season was at its height. The St.
Oharles was nightly thronged with the beauty
and fashion of the city. A new star had ap
peared on its boards, exciting an interest preva
lent and absorbing. Her beauty, grace and ac
complishments were the topic of every club
room—the one subject that engaged the atten
tion of all the youth in the city. Her name was
Adele Larondin. Very young—scarcely twenty
—and very beautiful was this young girl, aronnd
whom a web of mystery was woven that seemed
to defy human ingenuity to unravel.
I say she was beautiful, but that word does
not convey an adequate idea of her exceeding
grace of mind and person. Petite in form, tho
slender figure was exquisite in symmetry. A
wealth of bright golden- hair shaded a face rosy
with health and brilliant with genius. The clear,
hazel eyes flashed with intelligence, and the
delicate curve of the erqnisitiy chiseled lips
expressed hatred or scorn, or intensified emo
tion.
Night after night the theatre was filled with
her admires. Passion in every phase—the very
well-springs nnd impulses of our nature—seem
ed to find m her an interpreter that never erred.
Her analysis of character was perfect; it was
true to nature, and therefore perfect.
The night of which I speak had witnessed her
greatest triumph. She seemed inspired, and
the feelings and emotions of her audience ap
peared as absolutely under her control as if she
wielded tho wand of an enchantress. The cur
tain fell on the last act of tho tragedy and the
audience dispersed. Some mesmeiio power held
me to the spot and I lingered around the en
trance to tho theatre.
An honr must have passed by and the last of
the company crept out of the narrow aisle lead-
ing to the stage, and sought their homes. Still
the actress lingered; her carriage at the door—
the driver impatient. Suddenly from behind
the scenes—echoing along that narrow aisle—
came a scream so piercing that it cut to the
heart like a dagger. It chilled my blood,
stood rooted to the spot; anguish, horror, grief,
wore in its tones. •
In a moment more I dashed open the door
and rushed into tho theatre. Closo at my back
came Mr. I , the driver, and the porter of the
establishment. The light in the green room
was still burning. The largo mirror that hung
from the wall reflected from the opposite sofa
the tinsel and mock jewelry of a queen. I no
ticed this as I dashed open the narrow door that
led to the dressing room assigned the actress.
It was empty. I called her by name. I shout
ed until tho walls of the vast building echoed
back my voice. We searched everywhere, un
derneath and above the stage, even among the
rolled curtains in the loft, and the narrow aper
tures between tho scenes—in vain. The actress
had disappeared. The screams that had so
startled us were not repeated. There was no
avenue of escape, still she was gone.
Mr. I visited her apartments at the hotel.
She was not there. The gas was relit in the
theatre and our search resumed. She was not
to be found. Her friends were visited; the
most transient acquaintance called on, with a
like result
Each hoar, instead of revealing tho mystery,
only deepened it. In the light of the morning
we continued the search. A singlo object was
discovered, which could possibly afford a clue
to the missing girl On the floor of the dress
ing room was a diamond ear-ring. It looked as
if it had been torn from its place. It was not
such an one as was worn by the actress. It estab
lished beyond question the presence of another
person in her room, and that person a female. |
This was all The mysterious interview and its
termination were shronded in a veil of darkness
onr ingenuity could not penetrate. If the earth
had opened and swallowed her, her disappear
ance could not have been more utterly unac
countable.
What was to be done ? We knew she was a
native of France, brought thence in childhood.
Her relatives had died; her friends knew noth
ing, save that sho was an orphan. Genius had
aided her rise; industry had secured her fame.
The architect of her own fortunes, she had
climcd alone the steep whoso ascent is devious
and hard to surmount.
Days went by. Friends interested themselves
in the search, and large rewards were offered
for any intelligence of the missing girl All was
ineffectual. Not even a trace of her could be
found. Still I had not given up; at my heart I
felt that we would yet succeed in findingher.
One day I stood leaning negligently on the
counter of a fashionable jeweler. I loved to
gaze npon tho brilliant gems that strewed the
case, and filled it with a weird, flashing light.
My attention absorbed in viewing them, I did
not notice the entrance of a lady—her foreign
accent in addressing the jeweler caused me to
turn around. She held an ear-ring in her hand,
and was inquiring the cost of one if made to
match it. The first glance I had of it made the
blood leap like fire in my veins. It was the
counterpart of tho one fonnd in the theatre.
Yon may imagino I did not lose sight of that
woman. I knew I had struck on the right clue.
I traced her home. The panther never stole
on his victim more silently thanl in the footsteps
of the dark-browed stranger.
I scarcely knew how I got back to the office.
I seemed to havo triumphed over space and
time. More like a maniac than a detective, I
rushed up to Mr. I and imparted my intel
ligence. Ho was not less excited than I. Wo
both felt an interest in the beautiful girl as
strong as if she had been a sister. But we know
that our steps mu^be wary, and our movements
secret as tho grave. We £ad no common crimi
nal to deal with. If not tho arch fiend himself,
we knew sho was almost as cunning. The mys
terious abduction of the actress disclosed a
quickness and sagacity at onco ingemus and
profound. The same snbtlo spirit we did not
doubt we shonld have to encounter again. It
was not, therefore, with a feeling of assured
success that we prepared to enter the residence
to which I had traced the foreign lady.
It was not as officers of the law usually go,
that we went on that occasion. We employed
rather the snbtle conning and perfect skill of a
man brought up to the business. For once his
nefarious art helped him to a noble deed. A
life of crime was whitened by a single virtue.
Before the skill of this man the door sprung
back upon its hinges, and we stood within the
portals where the issues of this strange mys
tery were to be decided. Silently we ascended
the stairs. A gas flame, burning from a globe,
suspended from the ceiling, flung a mellow
light along the stately corridor. At the further
end of the hall a door opened into a large
apartment. We moved toward this, and as we
approached it sounds of weeping struck on our
ears, and then we heard a voice of supplication.
Sorrowful and sad the strange, sweet voice
floated out on the air. It was like the wail of a
broken heart, that cry of one in distress.
“ Oh, God! is there no help; no help!
It thrilled to my heart. Even in that pitiful
cadence I knew those well-remembered tones.
Burdened with anguish, I knew them well.
In another instant the door flew open before
onr impetuous weight, and there, in the gloom
of a luxurious room, her young limbs fettered,
and a single garment shrouding the wasted
form, was the young actress. We were not a
minute too soon, for the next instant, furious as
a demon, the dark-browed woman entered the
room.
It took but a moment to secure her, and then
the mystery was solved.
She was the aunt of the actress. Her neice
was heiress to a fortune in France; she removed,
her own child would inherit the wealth. Itmnst
be done, however, secretly and silently, so that
no clue could be found. She had secreted her
self in tho passage way of the theatre, and ta
king advantage of a momentary delay, had se
cured her victim. In the struggle an ear-ring
was tom off. A powerful narcotic, suddenly ap
plied, drowned her senses and stopped resist
ance. She was behind the drop curtain as we
rushed in. Leaving while we were yet in the
green room, she made her escape along the
aisle that led to the street.
This was the end. It made a sensation at the
time, bnt it was, until now, an unwritten history
of the world of crime in New Orleans twenty
years ago.—New (Meant Picayune.

As for myself, I shall never bow down to this
thing. It would, as I have juat said, keep th e
powers of this Government where our fathers
placed them as the best for your safety, for the
safety of your children, and also for the safety
of the black man. These men who propose ne.
gro equality are the worst enemy of the colored
race. As for myself, I would throw aronnd the
negro, by our own wise legislation, the safe,
guards of the law. I would not put him in the
schools with your children, nor upon the jury
bench, nor into the Legislature. I would to
God that I could be heard all over my district,
and all over the State, upon this question. j
would to God that there was to be a genera
canvass, and then that the people might be el
lowed to decide this issue at the ballot-boi
Then-we shonld know whether they wish the ne.
gro in the public shoots, in the Legislature, &ni
beside them in the jury box; foi that is what
negro equality means, and nothing else.
Do not make mistakes in this matter. Yon
are a great powerful nation, tho greatest that
the world has seen. You have forty millions of
people, and you are the strongest nation th*
sun ever Bhone npon. The rivers of Sont>>
America are broader and deeper than oars'
Their groves aro spicy and their fields groa-
with the riches of the earth, yet they have no
rank among the nations. They made the s.na e
mistake which the Repnblioans are now making
and incorporated an inferior race into the body
politic. It led at last to an admixture, and
finally to equality, and those great countries are
inhabited by mongrels, and yet they are con*,
trymen of Columbus and the descendants of tie
followers of the great Cortez.
The Critical Condition or Europe.
From the Herald, of the 3d inrt.J
Our correspondence and onr telegrams frg*
Europe for some time past have been singnlir>
suggestive, and, in spite of peace desires, rathe*
bellicose than otherwise. We have had inthnjj
tions of the most contradictory kind. One dar
we ore told of army reductions; another davv’j
are told of army mobilization. We are ag-^
informed that officers and men of the Frenc
army on leave of absence are suddenly sm.
moned to join their respective regiments. \f?
have not yet had any high official annonnceitei:
that war was imminent, bnt studious silence it
oftentimes as suggestive as unguarded speed
We do not exage rate when we say that sinceti.-
outbreak of the German war in I86G there hi
been nothing in Europe similar to the preset
condition of things. There is a cautious eri
determined measuring of strength. Allth
European nations are armed to the teeth. Ever
one of them believes that the timo for actioni
close at hand, bnt no one is certain where oris
what connection it may ho necessary to tj.
sheathe the sword. We describe the situafia
when we say that Europe, burdened with injei
erable armaments, is sick of peace, which is ru
without the excitement which naturally bekej
to it—war without the consequent honors-;
glory.

so no longer. He can make 'mistakes, "and i
mistakes are so palpable that France and c
the outside world can see them. A repute,
built upon success, deriving all its worth f:
supposed infallibility, cannot snrvive rep:::
failure. Such is tho condition of Louis Ik
leon and such is the situation in Europe.
France is no longer tho conrtolling po
nor is Louis Napoleon any longer the arfc
The power has passed away from the coi

Beautiftil Extract.
Hon. Dan. W. Voorhees recently left his seat
in Congress to stump his district in Indiana, on
the fifteenth amendment. He made a capital
speech in Terre Haute, last week, from which
wo extract the following:
A government could not l>e built up of such
materials. The race has had every opportunity
for advancement, bnt had never risen above
barbarism. They had had fruitful land, a land
of fertile soil and mighty rivers, where the
wealth of nature was boundless, but it had been
all to no purpose. The Saxons, the Anglos and
the ancient Britons were once savages, but when
the day dawned for them they advanced upon
such a career of greatness as adorns and ula-
minates all history. Tho negro has had the
same advantages, bnt the result has been entire
ly different. The people of Indiana want no
such partner to assist them in their government.
The career of the African in the past is an illus
tration of what his future experience must be.
The speaker said ho felt no bitterness toward
tho negro, who was a being brought into corro
ding contact with the white race, which was his
superior, and the inferior race must gradually
diminish, and finally become extinct It is not
prejudice, but wisdom, to preserve the white
race in its purity.
I would keep the powers of this government
in the hands of those men to whom onr fathers
gave it How great has been onr career under
their wise precepts. When I look back I feel
as Adam and Eve must have felt when driven
forth from Paradise; they looked back and
through the half open gates caught a glimpse of
the beautiful flowers, the shady groves, the
sweet fruits and all the luxuries they had lost
forever. So we to-day stand amid the distrac
tion of the elements, and see around us the ef
fects of the course of civil war, of mixing races,
of jarring jurisdiction everything m con
fusion, as when the curse came upon the world,
and the clouds swept low along the tree tops:
the birds flew shrieking through the air, and the
beasts fled affrighted across the plain. To- is, he has the “money to wj*

gallery of our glory, it seems, (hough we had
been drives from Paradise, and I long to go back
and one more deep draught from the
fountains of their wisdom. , It is enough for me
