of the debt of gratitude the country owes
to Gen. Grunt that he was just the m n
that lie wn at that hour —Heir sighted,
resolute and imbued with the sentiments

I was at that time, as yoo know, in the

eaiweity of Attorney General a ease came
before me very soon after the surrender
at Appomattox''Which 1 will relate. Gen.
Bradley Johnson, of the Confederate
army, w.y at iliatsurrender and received
there a military parol. With that in his
possession he was arrested and im
prisoned at Baltimore, he being under
an indietni -nt for treason, lie addressed
a letter to General Grant from prison,in
‘•losiog a parol. Upon receipt, of it Gen.
Grant at once wrote to the President, a
most positive and emphatic letter de
manding ihe di-charge and release of
Gan. Johnson. The letter,while respect
tul, was rribsr determined. It took the
ground, afterward fully established, that
th militarv parols were not to b - violated

Thus the gouthern people, through
their military leaders m the late war,
have cause to entertain the kindly feed
ing for Gen. Grant, which you so admir
ably express in your speech in the Senate
And not only in the particular 1 have
mentioned, but in many ethers also. The
nther portions of our now united country
can never fail to remember him as the
strong arm of its power in the great strug
gle. Gen. Grant left the army at the ca 1
of his country. His two Administrations
were in times of excitement and dis
distraetion incident t< the vast disrup
tions of the war. lie should have been
restored to tlie army years ago. He cer
tainly should be now. In my judgment,
military men who perform great and no
table service should be suitably reward
ed and honored. I sincerely trust the
House will promptly pass the bill, and
that it will become a law. It seems to
me but justice, and, l may add, tardy
justice. I am, sir, most respectfully,
.Tames Speed.
I>. S. —1 should add that President
Johnson, while questioning the legality of
parol as a civil pardon, had no hesitation
in "ranting tlie Executive pardon.

The hue and cry raised about the ab
sence of Senator Garland from Washing
ton for a day seems to have been quite
unwarranted, lie was not at Albany or
in that vicinity. There was a gentle old
lady with brown hair, streaked with
gray, out on Connecticut Avenue, who
could have told tliegossipers where the
Senator was if they had thought to go to
her. Whether she would have told them
i- quite another question, for she is very
careful of the affairs of her son. It is
known only to a few, comparatively,
that Senator Garland's mother lives
here, keeping house for her big boy, and
being consult 'd by him about all his no- j
litical and peis-mal affairs. The S mu nr 1

- -ufl- the railroad cor
porations will s.h#ii bei’i ttie control of
. iie G nitc-I .‘states ficnaie. Spooner for
■ many years was the solicitor of the
{'Chicago, St. L’auu Minneapolis and
Omaha raiiroal.a part-of The \ tnderbilt
system, \n laR-r than last winter he
, a{ pe ireu hi tius eU\ to oppose tiie for-
Telture of h laud grant which had been
j reported by the House Committee on
public lands. Jie resigned his railroad
j fiollcltO/ship soon thereafter, and an al
liaiwiCAvas made between himself and
HCnntor Sawyer to capture the Scnator
; ship tQ which he has been elected. The
i alliance with Siw/er ir may ho said se
j cured him the prize. Sawyer is the boss
:ot Wisconsin. When he says “thumbs
up,” atp they go, so far as his Badger
State is concerned.
Spooner, however, will prove an ac
quisition to tlie Senate, and in contrast
to his prosaic ptedecessor he will com
pare as pure gold to dross, lie is. quite
a young man, and has the reputation of
Iteing the best realty' lawyer in any State.
In stature be is rather small, which
makes all the more prominent his mass
ive head.
But Spooner aside. He comes in oniy
as an incident to show how the railroad
corporations are getting a grip on the
Senate, 't hose who are at the head oi
great railroad interests now pay no at
tention to the House, knowing how well
they are fortified in the other branch.
It is for this that no strenuous opposi
tion was made in the House to the pas
sage of the in ter-State Commerce bill.
The game is to have it substituted, in ihe
Senate with a bill providing for a com
mission, which can be packed in the in
terest of the railroad corporations.
Last winter, whether with or without
reason, the House passed a number of
hills restoring to the public domain
enough forfeited land grants to aggregate
many million acres. But one of the hills,
however, his run the gauntlet ot tlie
Senate.

to say the least, in the Senate of the

THE WRONG MAN.
How the Georgia Revenue Officers Perse
cute tlie Mountaineers.
A special to the Courier-Journal from
Atlanta, says: Asa sample of the op
pressions to which the mountain people
of Georgia are subjected by the revenue
ollleers has just been brought to light in
the United States Supreme Court before
Judge Boar man. A distressed looking
citizen, li. M. Stanley, was put on,
charged with violating the internal rev
enue laws. Stanley hailed from Lump
kin county, and said he was too poor to
hire a lawyer; therefore he went to trial
without counsel. Deputy Marshal Cope
land testified, but said nothing to lead
any one to suppose Stanley was a law
breaker. Then another witness testified,
and he also knew nothing against the
prisoner. A third witness went on the
stand with a like result, and then Judge
Boarman, v.axing wroth, said with era
h.is-s: ‘*A great wrong* has been done
i ! : * an. I think it is criminal. “Then,
tiirni gto the prisoner, he asked : “How
j.long have vmi h i.l in j-dl ?” Font
weeks.” ■ I'hi' is all wrong,” continued
the Ja.'j-i. “These olli.-eia have, a
wrong ideii of the law. It. is criminal to
treat a man this way. I can’t say who
• is responsible, but I do saj - it is ali
wrong.” Then looking at the prisoner
l again, the Judge said: “You are dis-
I cii.ngi'd, =ir. 1 atri sorry 1 can say no*
more. lam sorry you have ro redress,
i You can go.”* The prisoner picked up
his hat and amble ; of the room. To
: a reporter lo -tated that he wak a mis*
sior ary Bapthst p eaeher. Later in the
: day it was and *veio ed th c the Commis
sioner had bound the wrong man over.
Commenting upon tFie testimony ol
Mr.C. P. Huntington, the Herald says:
“Mr. C. P. Huntington i- gifieu with 0
had memory. It is, niorctwci, a very
: convenient memory, as it can recall 01

As the votes came in lie deposited them
in li is safe and locked the door of his
room in addition to fixing bis unknown

been received, Edmunds sent for th J

he had been chosen as a special guard
for the electoral votes and that he must
ate!) in the marble room every night.’
Accordingly, for ix weeks. Mr.-Florence

noon at five o’clock he takes his stand in
the marble, room, and there remains until
seven o’clock the next morning. lie
watches tli-; lorn- of the Vice-President’s
room, which is locked. Within is the
safe, and behind its combination lock are
the electoral votes. It is dull business ro
sit all night long in the ghastly marble
room in an apparently useless watch, but
Florence has done it faithfully, and with
a joyful pride that lie is contributing to
the security of the votes which will put
into the presidency the first democrat tor
twenty-four years.
The law fixes the time for the assem
bling of the joint session and the count of
the electoral vote. Mr. Edmunds will
not go in to open his safe until a few mo
ments before lie is to march at the head
of the senate over to the house. The
safe will probably not have been opened
for weeks. The senator’s active mind
will have had a thousand things to dis
tract its attention from the one little word
whose letters are the open sesame to that
strong box. Suppose he should forget it!
OUR PEESIDENT.
What a Person Undergoes in Visiting 51r.
Cleveland.
Albany (N. 5’.) Correspondence.]
It isn’t the politicians and professional
cabinet-makers that President
elect Cleveland just now. They are bad
enough in their way and are persistent
enough, but there is another class whose
patient waiting for a chance to see the
Governor throtvs the politician way back
in the shade. They area pretty class,
too. as a rule—they ate brides.
And it is becat se of the universal be
lief in Governor Cleveland’s luck. It
used to be that Niagara, with the Horse
shoe Falls, was the great resort for new
ly-married couples. But that was before
the election. Now, Albany has taken
the place of Niagara, and the executive
chamber brings the luck that the Horse
shoe Falls once di I. It is hard to turn a
■lark corner in the eapitol suddenly with

In August, 1862, I chanced to meet
Richmond a gentleman who told me of a j
successful trip he had made across the
lines to Baltimore. My husband had
some money there width we needed very
much. Ir was a temptation not to be re
si SEPfI. My husband was in the Confed
erate army and my two children were at
school in South Carolina, so there was no
one to raise objections, and inv own in
clinations to urge me speedily decided the
question. I secured from the gentleman
his route in minute detail.
At Hanover Junction I had so much
trouble to get conveyance to Bowling
Green that l was at the point of going
back, ignoininiously, when 1 siw a car
riage drive up to the point where l was
waiting. A few questions and answers
put me iu possession of the fact that Dr.
B , who lived near Bowling Green,
was expected on Lite train, and this was
his carriage sent to meet him. When lte
arrived I sent for him and begged per
mission to go with him. He politely
consented. I very soon learned that the
Doctor had paid a visit to our army
when it was encamped at Centreville.
When L said that my husband belonged
to the Seventeenth Virginia he asked iris
name, as he had not understood me when
I introduced myself. I said, “ Capt.
M—lie exclaimed, shaking my hand
very cordially, “My dear madam, I
know him well. I formed the warmest
attachment for him during my stay at
Centreville. He gave me part of his tent
and showed me many kindnesses, which
I am only too glad to repay in part, at
least, by any assistance which I can ren
der you.” I was as much pleased as he
could possibly be at our meeting so op
portunely, and somewhat elated by my
good fortune I took my seat in tiie Doc
tor’s carriage. When we reached his
house, after a long drive, I was received
by liis family with extreme kindness.
Alter a night of rest and comfort, the
good Doctor carried me over to Bowling
Green. got me a carriage and departed
with his blessing. Tint thoughtful kind
ness of Mrs. B- had supplied me with
an ample lunch "basket, well stored with
delicacies and substantiate.
The next point. Port Royal, on the
Rappahannock, was reached in perfect
comfort and safety. _ i met at the hotel
four ladies returning to Richmond from
Baltimore. Listening to their glowing
accounts of unlimited rounds of shopping,
where there were no blockade prices, vis
ions of my own probable successes in
that pleasant work flitted through my
And. determining me to push on as rap
flv as possible. The first thing to do
\v s to find a boatman willing to row me
over the river, which was both difficult
and hazardous, owing to the fact that the
Federal gunboats were almost constantly
passing and were liable to come around a
bend at any rime.
[ was about concluding a bargain with
a party when a regiment of Federal cav
alry and ished into the town, and as sud
denly every one disappeared among
them my boatman. The other ladies were
very much frightened and lie wailed bit
terly at the prospect of being captured
and having 'heir precious baggage con
fiscated. They implored every one to
remain quiet and not do anything to at
tract attention. I fully sympathized
with them and for a while we kept very
-till. But. my curiosity overcoming cau
tion, I went out to look at the situation
from the veranda.
The Federal* had taken possession of
an eminence in front of us, tn 4 thus com
manded the town. On a beautifully
shaded grassy slope in full view they
were making tbemseive* at home after
the style of cavaliers under such circum
stances. The horses were turned out to

would be glad to
house until the next night, when, he
said, lie would put me across himself.
On his assurance that his wife would be
glad to have me, ! accepted his invita
tion. Bidding Mrs. Stewart and her
lovely daughter good-bye, with many
thanks tor their care and kindness, I
parted from them forever.
The next night 1 crossed safely to the
northern shore of the Potomac. We
rowed into one of the many creeks to the
(touse of a Southern gentleman, through
whose kindness I was able to reach Port
Tobacco, ten miles distant, the next day.
There L took the stage for Washington
City. The only passenger besides myself
was a gentleman from the south,also run
ning the blockade, from whom I received
some valuable suggestions. Hanging on
now, I reached Baltimore the next morn
ing, worn out with fatigue and excite
ment.
My friends, who were strongly South
ern in sympathy, received me with
delight, and after a fortnight of rest,
having succeeded entirely in carrying
out my plans to my satisfaction, I took
the train for somerset, on the eastern
shore of Maryland, where I waited some
days for an opportunity to cros-c I
finally took passage in a small boat that
plied between Somerset,on the Maryland
side, to Northumberland,on the Virginia
side. Before we were out of Tangier’s
sound a terrible storm arose. Fearing
that the boat would be swamped, our
Captain ran her up in the marshes. The
next morning the tide had left us iu the
mud.
The Captain and the only other passen
ger besides myself, a gentleman, secreted
themselves in the woods near by ; but the
mud was so deep I could not get out, and,
concealed as well as I could in the boat,l
passed the long day with nothing but a
few crackers to eat. When at last we
found ourselves afloat again, we dis
covered that we were the objects ot much
curiosity to several fishing smacks who
were returning from a day’s work. So
we cruised around waiting for darkness
before attempting to run across, pretend
ing to be a pleasure party out for a row
on the sound. It was a sad mockery on
a pleasure party: afraid of being raptured,
waiting for the “blessed cover ot night
to make the perilous run.
We were off at last, the bay was \eiy
! rough but we rapidly neared the Virginia
I shoie. A gun-boat was lying at the
: mouth of the little creek where it was
‘ our intention to land. ( had two large
j trunks filled with my own purchases,
be-ides innumerable parcels, letters,etc.,
gent by friends to absent ones in the
South. Naturally full of the most
intense anxiety, i tried to cheer myself
with the reflection that there was no
political complication mixed up with my
errand, which had (teen from hist to last
: of a private and personal nature.
| I summoned what fortitude arid philos
! ooby I could to my aid, snd sat in the
j gtWn of the boat, bated breath and rigid
| form, a silent prayer it) my heart, while
our little boat, with muffled oars, moved
silently under the very bows: of the gun
boat. One shuddering glance i gave to
the grim outlines as we sped noiselessly
bv and closed my eyes to shut out the
gloomy-looking thing that seemed to
threaten by its ominous shadow. Within
20 minutes —it seemed as many hours —
we ran into the mouth of the little creek
After asending it about three miles the
