WEDNESDAY, WAY 8. 18751.
|{OW the NOMINATIONS are he
oeived.
j We have no evidences before us of a very
cordial acceptance of the nominations at
the South of Gkeulby aud Brown. But,
judging from oar exchanges, and by Indi
vidual expressions of opinion to us, the im
pression made is that while some Demo
crats approve the nominations as eminent
ly judicious and agreeable to them, a great
many received them sullenly and unwill
ingly as to a misfortune and a mortifica
tion. Southern men have so long been ac
customed to look upon Mr. Gukrlky as a
bigot aud a partisan in politics, that they
are not generally prepared to recognize
him as capable of performing the role of a
statesman. Yet all give him credit for In
dividual honesty and personal respecta
bility of character. They recognize, too,
in him benevolent and amiable traits. So
that upon the whole, his name is greeted
at the South with kindly feedings. The com
parison between him and Grant is being
constantly made, and always to the ad
vantage of the former. In this respect Mr.
Greeley grows daily more acceptable, and
the contemplation of him as a possible suc
cessor to Gen. Grant is becoming rather
pleasing than otherwise.
The question is narrowed down practi
cally to this In the minds of Democrats:
In order to defeat Grant, would it be
better for the Democratic party to accept
the Cincinnati nominations, or to run dis
tinct, unadulterated Democratic ticket. The
defeat of Grant is the paramount and con
trolling necessity of the hour. It isonly a
question of policy as to the best manner of
doing it. The prevalent opinion now seems
to be that the acceptance of the Cincinnati
nominations is the only sure means —that
a separate Democratic nomination would
be latal to the purpose aimed at by it.
There is great danger of three tickets
throwing the electiou into the House of
Representatives. This would insure the
re-election of Grant.
After viewing the situation with the
best aid of the lights before us, it seems
probable to our mind that the Cincinnati
ticket will grow in favor with the Demo
cratic party, and will be adopted by it.

Arrest of the Notorious J. C. Norris.
United States Soldiers to Ills ltescue !
On Sunday afternoon, Mr. J. C. Norris,
who claims to be a United States Deputy
Marshal, the same notorious individual
who figured so conspicuously in the War
ren county persecutions some time ago,
was arrested in this city upon the authori
ty of a bench warrant issued by the Su
perior Court of Warren county. The ar
rest was made by policeman Couch, and
Norris was conveyed |by 8, p m , train to
Warrenton. He is charged with beiDg ae
eetsory before the fact in the murder of Chas.
Wallace, a citizen of Warren county.
Alter learning the facts of the rase yes
terday morning, the United States officials
—at least some of them —claimed to be
much alarmed for Mr. Norris’ safety and
life, some of them maintaining that it was
the intention of this “mob,” as they term
ed it, to assassinate Mr. Norris. So yester
day afternoon at two o’clock a detachment
of ten Federal soldiers, under the comma nd
of Lieutenant Bateman, was dispatched to
Warrenton. Upon inquiring upon what
soldiers were sent at the instance of several
Individuals who made affidavit that Mr.
Norris’ life was endangered, and that it
was not the intention of this force to inter
fere with any legal process against Mr.
Norris, but to protect him In case of vio
lence.
This individual, J. C.Norris, was former
ly a citizen of Warren county. In 1869 he
was appointed Deputy Sheriff in that coun
ty by Gen. Terry, then military command
er of the District of Georgia, Florida and
Alabama. In 1860 he was indicted by the
grand iury of that, county for false impri
onmentof divers persons. He was also
indicted for the crime of being accesory
before the fact in the murder of Charles
Wallace, for which he is now under ar
rest.
He was arrested with warrants for all
these charges. Governor Bullock granted
him a pardon for false imprisonment on
the ground that the accusations against
him were founded on an alleged illegality
in his appointment, when In fact, no refer
ence was made in the Indictments to the
manner or legality of his appointment, and
the sole ground ot the prosecution was
that he arrested and imprisoned persons
without warrants and without giving
them the opportunity of being heard before
a Court of Inquiry. The pardon does not
refer at an to the accusation of the grand
jury in the case of the murder ot Wallace.
There can be no pretence that the offense
has been pardoned by Bullock.
It has been intimated by some that this
arrest was premeditated, so as to occur at
the time when Norris was endeavoring to
force Hancock to South Carolina. This,
however, we are assured is entirely a mis
take. The beuch warrant upon which he
was arrested was issued by Hon. Garnett
Andrews, Judueof the Superior Court of
the Northern Circuit, aud dated April Ist,
1872.

Consequential Damage*.
Wo are sorry to report the history of a
misunderstanding which lately arose in
the West of England between two natu
ralists of local celebrity, and which was
referred to arbitrators, with a prospect of
speedy settlement, when the amicable ne
gotiations in progress were unexpectedly
interrupted by one of the parties claim
ing consequential damages of a character
which the other considered entirely inad
missible.
Dr. Dace was the owner of two flue
old English black rats, which escaped and
look refuge in the grounds of his neighbor,
Mr. Spokes. The latter was an enthusi
astic breeder cf bantam chickens. The
rats killed a number of bantams, and in
turn were killed by a celebrated rat catch
er. Mr. Spokes claimed damages from Dr.
Dace for the loss of the bantams; and the
Doctor claimed damages from Spokes for
the destruction of his cherished rats. The
matter was left to arbitration, and every
thing looked promising for a peaceful ter
mination of the difficulty when Spokes
made matters worse than ever by pre
senting a bill for consequential damages.
The number of bantams killed was thir
teen, for which the sum of £l3 was origi
nally claimed. When the arbitrators met,
Mr. Spokes bad increased his claim to
£55 11s. by presenting a bill with the fol
lowing items:
, &. s. D.
Thirteen t ittin t 'S of eggs that would
have been hatched 13 y 0
V.»lne of prizes that would hive
been gained at the poultry shows
at Batli, Bristol and Barum 9 9 0
Hire of Bill Ferret, the rat-catcher
—six days, at se. a day 110 o
Beer and refreshments for B. F 018 0
Lose of time in looking after B. F.,
six days - 3 0 0
Four patent rat traps, at 3s. 6d 014 0
Damage to a pair of trousers during
the hunt 0 7 «
New roof to outhouse 13 0 0
The consideration of this claim was
stoutly resisted, and after a great deal of
wrangling the bill for consequential dam
ages was withdrawn, the arbitrators finally
awarding Mr. Spokes payment for the fowls
actnally destroyed, lint the English au
thority which relates this history fails to
say whether Mr. Spokes insisted on Dr.
Dace uniting with him in a note pronounc
ing his claim preposterous as a condition
precedent to its withdrawal,

$25,000 vs. SIO,OOO.
A Scheme to Blackmail a Well Known
Citizen.
A rumor was in circulation on the streets
yesterday that revealed in the person mo
prominently concerned a talent for mfP-n
--ious scheming worthy a Talleyrand,
report was to the effect that a notorious
attempted murder thatoccurred in this city
about a year since, and the consequent suit
for damages, had assumed and entirely dif
ferent phase. The rumor being sifted, re
sulted in the development of a rare piece
of rascality, conceived with consummate
ingenuity, but which failed of Its accom
plishment. It appears that the husband of
'he defendant in the suit above mentioned
called upon the plaintiff’s attorney and ex
pressed a desire to commnnic&te with her
through his mediumship, and make the fol
lowing proposition: That he would com
mence suit against a well known citizen,
charging him with being instrumental in
bringing about the difficulty (that had re
sulted in this appeal to law), and laying
the damages at $25,000, and give her half
the proceeds, provided the plaintifl would
agree to withdraw her suit for SIO,OOO
damages against the defendant. This propo
sition to blackmail a citizen who was in no
way concerned in the affair was indignantly
scorned by the injured woman. Although
formerly a courtezan, there was still a spark
of womanly honor and respect in her heart
that enabled her to reject this digraceful
proposition, and denounced the party and
exposed the scheme to the proposed victim.
Further developments are expected that
will give additional interest to the trial,
which will take place at the coming term of
the Superior Court.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Congress.
Washington, May 7 —ln the Senate,
Sumner talked on mixed schools over the
morning hoar.
The post office bill was resumed. One
million additional subsidy was given the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and an
amendment giving $400,000 to the Brazil
mail service, passed by 25 to 24.
In the House, Beck, from the Committee
on Ways and Means, reported back the
Senate bill allowing rebate of tax on whis
ky destroyed by fire or other casualty while
iu bonded warehouses, with the amend
ment excepting cases where the tax has
been actually paid, passed.
Tiie House resumed the consideration of
the Senate amendments to the defieienev
clams for cotton seized by the Government
of the United States after the close of
the war, requiring proof of the loyalty
of the claimants, came up, and gave rise to
a long discusion.
The Cotton Appropriations Committee
recommended non-coueurrence, reporting a
substitute.for it less exacting on the claim
ants. Bingham made a speech against the
substitute reported from the Committee on
Appropriations, but Peters asserted, and
proved by the record that a similar proposi
tion was reported at last Congress from the
Judiciary Committee by its Chairman,
Bingham himself, and Garfield added that
the Committee on Appropriations had
adopted the very language of the bill re
ported by the Judiciary Committee on the
same subject. The argument against the
Senate amendment was that the cotton
seized after 30th June, 1865, and to which
alone it applied, was seized in violation of
law and in defiance of the published or
ders of the War Department forbidding the
seizure of cotton after that date. Finally
the substitute reported by the Committee
on Appropriations for the Senate amend
ment was adopted without the yeas and
nays. The substitute is as follows: The
Secretary of the Treasury shall bo, and
is hereby, authorized and directed to
pay to the lawful owners, or their
legal representatives, of all cotton
seized after June 30th, 1865, by the agents
of the Government, the net proceeds with
out interest of the sales of the said cotton
actually paid into the Treasury of the
United States, provided that the receipt
thereof shall be taken and received in full
satisfaction of all claims against the United
States for or on account of the seizure of
said cotton, and a sum for such payment is
hereby appropriated, and the Secretary of
the Treasury is hereby authorized to pre
scribe rules and regulations for the ascer
tainment of all necessary facts for the exe
cution hereof. This ended the Senate
amendments to the deficiency bill.
The House then took up and disposed of
the Senate amendments to the Indian ap
pronriation bill.
Kelly moved to strike out the enacting
clause of the tariff and tax bill. Carried
by 95 to 75. The bill was recommitted to
the Ways and Means Committee, with In
structions to report a bill reducing the
tariff to 90 per cent, of the present rate.
Washington News.
Washington, May 7. —(lens. Sheldon, of
Louisiana, and Young, of Georgia, were
active in defeating Morrill’s amendment
andj'adopting the substitute to the defi
ciency bill, which, if it meets concurrence
in the Senate, will give a large amount of
money to the South.
