Trying to Wash Their Bloody i Hands. Jo3rfih Holt, tho Judge Advocate of tbc packed court that murdered poor 3Jr J - Surratt, is atill explaining, or trying to explain hi* connection with that infa- I*e. Ifi* conscience seems to give him r." respite. Recently—as we have already noted—under its stings or tho goading phantom 6f the murdered woman, he WTO’** a loag letter to the Washington Chronicle, denying the statement that he hod purposely kept back from Andrew Johnson the recommendation to mercy mode by a majority of the members of the court "in her behalf, and laying all the Maine upon Johnson. Now he b*»s written another letter to the Tribune, denying the charge of load in'* her with heavy chains day and night, ami otherwise torturing her during the entire two months of her imprisonment *n«l trial, made by a Tribune correspond ent at Washington. He appeals to Gov. Hartrnnft, of Pennsylvania, who was the Marshal of tho court, to sustain him, and exhibits as much anxiety to clear himself of the second as the first accusation. We nee, too, that Andrew Johnson in tends going to Washington soon, to search the record* for the purpose of clearing hi* skirt* of Holt's charge, that he (Johnson) did have the recommendation to mercy before him, and that ho signed Mr*. Surratt’s death warrant in the face of it. , Such a washing or attempting to wash Moo ly hand* lias not been known since the tlay* of Lady Macbeth. Both these nu n five years ago would havo scorned to notioc any reflection upon their con duct in <onnection with this matter. In the natumaliii of passion undo hat that fallowed tho close of the civil war and the execution of the conspirators, they muotb jred conscience and defied whatever public opinion there was that condemned the brutal, bloody part both played in the drama. They held themselves above and licyond question or criticism, and fondly ruagintnl the day would never come when it would be otherwise. But it appears that day has come, and both arc quaking aud shivering with dread of public odium— each endeavoring to shift the burden upon theother's *houldcr*,and I lol t, in rcspoct to the charge of manacling Mrs. Surratt, actually r«*Hponding over hi* own signa ture to an anonymous writer! Ah ? how different 1873 from the evil years that followed 1866! Then it was a feather in their or any loyl man** cap to have played the smallest part in tho trage dy that hod its black culmination in the murder of a poor helpless woman—con science slept under the narcotic of official promotion and the plaudits of a blood thirsty people. It is indeed a gratifying sign 1.1 see these men endeavoring to fit the Xcasus shirt upon each other. It proves that there are sneh things as retribution and conscience, and that under the lashings of one. and the threats of the other, the truth of histor ♦* may yet come to bo vindicated, and justice done the memory of one whoso life was remorsely sacrificed to the mob howl for blood. It proves another thing, too: That both these men feel that pub lic sentiment in regard to this transaction ha* shift.»d it* ground nearer to the plane of humanity aud Christian civilization and charity, and that it does, and will hold them to a stricter judgment every day until they make such atonement as may be in their power. Lawyers and Boctors* Fees and Fortunes in England. Referring to tho foci that tho late ex- Lord-Chancellor, of England, Lord West- berry, left an estate in personal property valued nt $1,600,000, the World says tho incomes of the great lawyer* of England have boon greatly exaggerated. For .;ome years after tho railway fever broke ©ut Sergeant Wrangluim, Mr. Austin, Mr. Hopo-Seott, and the Hon. John Tal bot, averaged for some years from £15,- 000 to £25,000 a year at the Parliamen tary Bar; but these were quite excep tional profits, and it is bel ved that the largest income ever wade at common law or chancery was that of Sir James Scar lett, afterward* Lord Abinger—£22,000. It lum often been mooted whether the physicians beat the lawyers, and there is a disposition to think that they do. Sir Charles Locock, aeconeher to the Queen, is reported to have once returned his in come tax at £30,000. but his is the most lucrative branch of the profe*sion, royalty ami grandees often giving a splendid fee in the gladness of their hearts at the birth of a first born or son and heir. Sir Astley Cooper is said to have received the largest fee on record in the profession— ! ,000 guineas, thrown to him out of a wludow in a night-<»l>. a» he wa* leaving •the house, by a patient who was in a par- nmtn of grateful delight after anoeeas- ful lithotomy. The LaroBST Sjll* or Short Horn Cims Ever Map*.—The most remark able sale of short-horn cattle ever made took place at Utica, X. Y., on Wedncs«lay. One hundred ami eleven head of cattle, comprising the celobratavi N, m Y A Mills herd, the property of the Hon. Samuel Campbell, wore sold at auction for an ag- • -•i Of ' .vve. The Eighth Dacheis of Geneva brought the startling |wkw of $4A,OOA The Tenth Duchess of Geneva sold for $35,000, and $30,600 was given for the First Duchess of Oneida. The average prioe paid for ten of the Duchess tribe was $21,710 each. This herd was bey end question the most valua- able ever got together, and its sale at tracted fancy stock-breeders from every part of this country as wall as from Eu rope. The three highest prices were paid by Englishmen. Tux fish jewelry which Denmark con tributes to the Vienna Exhibition is thus described: “This jewelry is made ex clusively of the bones and scales of fish. It is just u* dear :u if it was mode of gold, and it i> highly esteemed by the ladies Copenhagen. It i> in many re- mo t <K*auuful cIm of fine work wv havo ever seen.

There are also large iso* of fish jewelry, such os kuiw. . forks, spoons, ladles, etc., carved in the most ox juisite patterns out of fish bon**-, .nd ornamented with fishes’ wholly It in a source of real congratulation to oar citizen* that the free school system of Georgia, hitherto a miserable failure, under the able administration of State Commissioner Orr, is already esteemed a *rut fifty very great blessing. In this county especially, through tho indefatigable labors, experience and tact of Mr. B. M. Zettler, backed by the in telligent Board of Education, the prog ress has l*ecn most satisfactory and 6ub- ^hgeiilboasa- Hul,;, b- n tia!. The great‘want at present ertion. a* br ; Is nn adequate mpnber of properly con- ot country it strutted ochoolhouscs. Measures havo j already been taken to supply this de ficiency, and in time it will be remedied to erect one commodious edifice, which will be an ornament to Macon, and thig is to be speedily followed by others. Just now, with the exception of the ad mirable building kindly furnished by tho Central Railroad Company,and the hand some colored foundation, known as tho Lewi* High School, the board is forced to extemporize such accommodations os can be procured, without much regard to convenience- or eligibility. From the excellent Superintendent, Mr. Zettler, we have most encouraging report* as to the condition of the-schools. About four hundred and fifty whites and the same number of colored pupil* ore in attendance, under the training of compe tent teachers, male and female, of the highest respectability, ’These are rigidly graded into classes and departments,. based upon age and previous acquire ments, bo that all tho time of an instruc tor is devoted to each class, ensuring a much greater degree of attention and more thoroughness. Tho pupils, as they present themselves, are registered by the Superintent and ex amined, before being assigned to their proper departments. The greatest method obtain* everywhere, and order and pro priety ore enforced by % m : ’d, but salutary and indexible course of discipline. Already* is the idea giving way that these common schools are merely collec tions of the children of tho rabble, where vice predominates and contamination mus result to the virtuous. In this world we encounter hourly men of every stamp, and liavc necessary inter course with them. To avoid the igno rant and depraved, we should have to seek another sphere, where sin and ita consequences has never entered. But society is graded too, and <livided by in surmountable social barriers. Under tho operation of this law, those of rejipectable origin, and who are properly trained at home, naturally associate together. Who does not know that in our first colleges tho low and dissolute always affiliate? and character, not birth, is the standard of worth and merit? Indeed, under tho guidance of vigilant instructors, this mixed feature of society in our colleges, causing them to be the purest of Republics, is regarded a* exceedingly beuefieol by judicious parent*, os there every tub must stand on it* own bottom, and ad ventitious circumstances of wealth and casto havo but little influence. Wo see that in all schools bad pupil* will be found, and usually the number is greatest among the spoiled and idle children of tho wealthy. The influence for evil of this class is far greater than among the huiuhle and low bom. To preserve the child from danger then, ho must be secluded entirely aud educated at homo. But experience has shown that even this course doe* not shield him from harm in after year*. Like a but terfly he emerges into society and essay ing to sip all it* enticing sweete, without any previous training, or knowledge drinks ere he is aware, to satiety and intoxica tion. Or ignorant of the way* of men and the tyrant of his own circle, he has to learn many rough and salutary lesson* in his rudo contact with the world. The writer can never forget the bloody fight* and sad experience for long months at college, of one of these sprig* of tho nobility, who had been educated by a tu tor at homo in tho society of sister* only, and had to learn to find hi* level at last. But the fact is beyond question that in tho elevating atmosphere of tho school room, and under tho protecting care of a judicious and strong master mind, tho tendency of tho poor children of adversity is rapidly upxmrJ. Wo are glad to learn, from Mr. Zettler, that tho offspring of some of our most respectable citizen* havo entered hi* schools. The course of instruction embrace* nine year*, seven of which are devoted to the acquisition of a good English education. Pupils then en ter the high school, and at tho end of fwo additional year*, are prepared to join the Freshman cla*3 in Mercer University, or the Sophomore in Wesleyan Female Col- lege. Wo trust all classes of the community will unite to mike these schools here, as in Savannah and at the North, the very best in the land. Bad Yews lYoni the West. Our telegrams this morning bring bad news from Memphis, and still worse from Shreveport. From the latter place GOO cases of yellow fever are reported, which is a very bad showing indeed, and now from Memphis oomes with startling trad- denne * the news that “yellow Jack” has put in an appearance there, and that there were fourteen deaths on Sunday. This is the first intimation we have hail that tho fever had made its appearance on the Mississippi, but wc are likely to hear similar reports from other cities on that river. We hardly see how it is pos sible for New Orleans, Natchez. Vicks burg and other cities to escape the scourge. The situation at Shreveport is deplorable indeed, and calls loudly for tho moot active and earnest effort* and sympathy for the relief of her afflicted people. Already all business ho.-, been THE GEORGIA PRESS.„ Thhe editor of the Washington Ga zette has had “ the shakes,” and now presents a pitiable appearance. He has lost his hair, hi* complexion is that of a ripe pumpkin, and the blossom* on his nose are all gone. Wc know we would never recognize him after the latter change. The Gazette says: Hiatt Storm.—On last Sunday a storm ]xu*--d over the north*, ra portion of Wilkes county which did an immense amount of damage to the cotton crop. The fftaon extended from seven miles nortn of Washington to Brood river. How much further north it may have gone was not learned- ’There was little wind, no hail, but a perfect deluge of fhe city authorities are abont beaten out and ruined. Accounts from tho section of the county over which the storm passed states that it was the heaviest rain fall of the year. * As a large amount of cotton was open and ready for picking, the damage must hare been very heavy. v .. The Constitutionalist says a negro boy named Frank Griggs,bailing from Macon, waa arrested in that city on Saturday, at the request of Policeman Grace, of this city, charged with stealing $21 from his mother. He hod only one dollar in cash when arrested. The Norcro** Courier has the folkiw- ing: If Georgia desires to educate her whole people she had best contribute every spare dollar for the next ten years to tho enlargement of the State University. She'needs a Normal University, to which tho young men and women of the State can go and become educated themselves and thereby become competent to teach others. She needs a free normal univer sity, and the thousand* now wasted upon incompetent obi fogy teachers would in ten year* give her one of the best. This done, Georgia can begin to educate her whole people and imitate Prussia. Until this is done, or some mean* provided for the education of teachers, all attempt* at universal education will prove abortive. Wc see no sense in longer petting an in efficient school system. It is a failure and the people know it, and we may save tho money. • The Sparta Times and Planter says the cotton crop of Hancock county will ,bo cut very short this season by caterpillar and rust. One farmer report! a falling off in his expectations of forty bales from seventy-five that he confidently cx|>ected to make. Apropos to this report, we no tice that Hancock county this year planted 33,000 acres in cotton to 26,765 in corn. A touno ladt of Brunswick called at the postofficc there a few days since for the letter addressed to the “handsomest lady in town,” but tho P. M. put on his specs and after a good look declined to let her have it. The Washington Gazette apparently is not favorable to camp meetings of the colored style. It says a very violent one has broken out near there, and that tho “ chicken crop which was very promising has suffered worse than a Southwest Georgia cotton field from the caterpillar, and we don’t think one-tenth of a crop will bo realized. In two weeks from this time tho uncultivated crow of the youth ful cock will Iw unknown throughout all this land, and the old hens will mourn for their lost pullets os those mourn who are without hope.” We find this in the Constitutionalist of Sunday: Mu. Stephens.—Hon. A. H. Stephens lost hi* overcoat at Dahlonega. Most any one would be willing to lose sneh an article at present.—Exchange, The above }»aragraph reminds us of an* anecdote about Mr. Stephens which Gen. Gordon tells with much unction. Gor don had it from President Grant at Wash ington. “ When tho three commission ers met ns at Fortress Monroe,” says Grant, *• Mr. Stephens came swaddled up from top to toe in an enormous overcoat. Lincoln calk'd me aside, as Mr. Stephens was disrobing, and observed: “Grant, what doe* that performance of Stephens remind you of f I answered him, 'Mr. President, I do not know, but what does it remind you of r* With one of his queer winks, Lincoln said: * It remind* mo of the biggest shuck ojf the smallest ear I ever saw in all my life !*" Tin: same paper has on editorial head ed “ Wanted—A Good Hotel,” in which, after drawing a very “ odorous” compar ison between Charleston and Savannah, an*’ ’ts own city, in the matter of hotel.-. it adds: Within a few days past, we liave heard complaints from strangers, who are by no means disposed to be captious, of the wretched character of our hotels. They como here with apprehension of what is in store for them; they ttay hero no longer than they can possibly help; they leave us in disgust, ani cannot avoid giving an unsavory name to the place. Tfii* is not only true of person* from abroad, but of person* bring in Georgia and South Caro lina. The outcry is universal, and the accusation so palpable that no defense can be brought to bear against these prejudi ces of sojourners in our midst. The Johnson Reporter say* “malira”— which may bo the local way of spelling malaria—is causing much sickness in that section. Also that a “Baptis” meet ing is going on in tho lower part of Wash ington county. Of the prospects of that section the Reporter writes in tho following glowing terms: From all appearance* our people are looking forward this season, for a brighter day to dawn upon them. The day so long looked for, when prosperity with its effulgent brightness shall burst forth mid relieve them from the shackles with which • they havo so long been boned. I do not mean political shackles but from such pe cuniary embarrassment that hare so long held progress in check, thereby prevent ing the development of our resource* which otherwise might of been done. Our Farmers appear to bo buoyant, rejoicing over the fruits of their la bors, and bounties with which a kind providence ha* blessed them, and looking forward to the time when their crops snail be safely garnered, and they having -realized a good, remunerative price for their produce. Tho merchants also meet us with pltxisant smiles hoping this fall to be able to get the remainder of that “balance dr.e” from last year. The physicians also with redoubled en ergy, pres* forward in high spirits and happy expectation. The mechanics also have not failed to discover the bright prospects before them. Lastly comes the poor lawyer, and with an anxious gaze broken up there, and now if her neigh- j view for and near the great arena of - - - 1 — S *“ J ’— whereon to relation* between 2Ir. and Mrs. Woodson, of this place, have not been altogether, as agreeable a* it should be, and f as is gen erally the case, result. *d in a separation of the parties and action for a divorce taken on the part of Mr*. W. They had a child several months old, which the father swore he would have at all haz ards. It was known that Mr*. Woodson and her mother, Mra. Christian, intended leaving the city last Thursday night, so Mr. W. thought he would make an at tempt to rescue the child from the moth er, consequently about nine o’clock in the evening he entered the house.of Mrs. Christian through a window and took the infant from the crook in which it •was slveping. the family being in an ad joining room. The mother’s attention waa attracted to the room by the noise made, but the father was too .quick for her and he escaped with the child. This caused considerable excitement in the household, and immediately the mother gave the alarm and ran in pursuit of her child. Policemen were sent for and put on the trail. After a faithful search on the part of the police, the child was found about 11 o’clock, At had been left at the house of a citizen who met the police and told them where the child was. The precious cherub was returned to the rx>som of it* fond mother. Lost the Compass.—Our very clever and accommodating Ordinary, who has been living in the city for the last twenty years, having some business to transact at the depot Thursday morning, left his office for that point. Having proceeded some distance, he became &a£*fied that he had token the wrong direction, and began to survey the field of hi* where abouts. In his perambulations, he met a friend from Lee county, about five miles from Americus, and solicited his services to pilot him lack to the city. We did not learn whether he succeeded in getting to the depot or not. The last we heard of him he was snugly seated in an easy ehair in his office, inquiring of every one who entered, how far is it to the S. W. depot We can only account for this by close application to business. How the Negro Commissioner of Emigration Proposes to Crush Out the Mississippi Democrats. Hi* name is Griggs anil he made a speech at Vicksburg the other day in which he very frankly developed the Shoeknasty programme to “crush out” the Democratic hopes of carrying the Legislature. He said: Some of the eastern counties were doubtful and some were Democratic, and ho understood the Democrats were going to carry the Legislature, and to that end they would bend all their energies. He, Col. Griggs, held a very prominent posi tion as Commissioner of Immigration, and he thought the future prosperity of the State depended upon him ! The Dem ocrats expect to carry the Legislature, but if he could get the necessary appro priation he thought he could fill the east ern part of the State with good Republi can voters, imported through the medium of his offioe, and forever crush out the hopes of the Democrats. He was going Butler ancl Grant “ Moral Al lies.” George Alfred Townsend went up to Worcester to see Butler slaughtered and after that job was finished paid a visit to Samuel Bowles, at Springfield, whom he interviewed, of course. Bowles is editor of tho Republican which is a power in Massachusetts. Townsend makes a re port of the talk to the Chicago Tribune, and here is an extract: “Does Grant show anl sagacity^in trusting him f^ A f f ‘ He shows Gnuii-sugacity, every- }>ody knows what that is. The moment "Butler has any absolute power which he can hold independent of Grant’s organi zation and patronage, he will torn upon him and lead the personal opposition. If ho hn.* any dislike greater than another, it is to Grant. But it ought to be com pensation enough to his vanity, and even to his hate, to sec how supinely the ad ministration defers to him; the advertis ing and the cartoon organs, the magiste rial household, the Cabinet and the patronage,are alibis. The fact^is, Butler and Grant are moral allies. Bat person ally therein on Grant's part Constraint, and on Butler’s advantage, in their appa rent co-operation. The fact is, that But ler represents in a gross form the great common instinct for revolution. In our present condition, we present in the North —and in Massachusetts no less—two great feature*, prosperity and demoralization. Parallel with oommerriApnd political un scrupulousness, there moves a spirit of mischief amongst the minority and the poor, which, if it expressed itself, would say: fButler is a change, of some kind, :ind change i3 what wo want'.’ The office holders want him for his exemplary dis honesty; other* because he will break the despotism of organization. In his person the enemies of society expect to attain a worse change, instead of the bet ter change we offered all Conservatism la3t year,” “Has Butler any supporters amongst your Republican notabilities ¥* No. They have all abandoned him this year. Wendell Phillips, Dr. Loring —who is one of\ tho; worst influences iu this State—and/ it appears, even Bout- well. He has had the support of Grant and the Cabinet, and tho Federal con- st&bulary, without notable exception. Tlio temperance press hero is wholly arrayed against him—even the Boston Post, which gave him a certain kind of news columns support last time—except ing the Traveller, an afternoon paper of Boston. It is barely probable that what Butler’s success might havo precipitated will be accomplished by his failure, and the :v<Un ini at ration be repudiated and re buked by the moire obsequious men and press of the regular party. Everything show* that the party and Grant are coining to an end together. HU third term, as well as his political fame, are in diminishing perspective. Arc the Americans Colonizing: Paris? Corrcsjiomleiico Baltimore American.] Tho people of Paris are astounded at ,the_ American invasion. They have not to try to import all the Republican voters only filled up all the hotels, but tho into the State that he possibly could. “ You have got more politicians in this county than I ever saw anywhere else,” said the accomplished Griggs. I meet one at every lamp post. You should work for the Legislature ! It is the most importr>ntest office in the State.” CoL Griggs “ wa3 no speaker, but a wheel horse when you put him in the trace*,” He got his office—he wanted that dUtintly understood—by skillful wire wording. It Was hi* opinion that “ Gen. Ames »us go ing to be elected Governcr by acclama tion.” Griggs knew what w *a what. He hail been at Jackson for two years and thought he understood “ lii* business as a legislature.” Some question had “ arUed” when he got hi* ofHoe, but he “ was too sharp.” Ho meant to have an agent at New York and flood the Shite with Republicans. “ Them was tho sort of immigrants” he wanted. And the proportj owner* of Mississippi have to pay tbU black scoundrel a salary for thus using his office and their money to swindle them at the ballot box. This is one of the little matter* that breeds what our loving brothers of yankeedom call “ a disaffected spirit” among the rebels which is very naughty indeed. It almost makes us weep. The American Tichbornc. The Tichbornc ease, which has been dragging its slow length along so many months in the English courts, and which has wearied out so many juries and and advocates, has at Inst found a parallel in thi3 country in a case which bills fair to excite an equal degree of interest, and to consume a* much time aud money and patience. The amount of money involved in tho litigation is $M).im»,00O, or real es tate valued at that amount, which is much greater t’uui the value of the prop erty to which Arthur Orton originally claimed to lx? heir, aud which lmsbrought upon him the present trial for perjury and forgery. The name of the Am Tiean claimant is James Turnbull, and be has brought suit in the Pennsylvania courts for the recov ery of 4,000 acre* of cool lands at or near Mauch Chunk, valued at $K»,000,00(». Hi* father died forty year* ago in a hos pital after a life of ffii^pntion, during which, it is stated, the^; lands passed into other hands by tax parenaser * At the age of sixteen, the son left Philadel phia on a sea voyage and was wrecked. He was picket! up near the Island of St. Thomas, and after his recovery from the effects of exposure he went to Central America and worked on the Isthmus of Panama, until the California gold stories attracted him to that region. He made several fortune* in California, which he lost at the gaming-table, and, becoming tired of this kind of life, went to Mexico and thence to Texas, where his eccentric ities in the cattle business created a pop ular prejudice against him. He then started a^ain for Mexico, and on the way to MazutLan narrowly escaped death by the explosion of the steamerne was on. During his short stay at Mazat- lan, he was robbed by a gang of Mexi cans and left for dead, with twelve dag ger wounds in his body. Recovering from these, he went to the Peru silver mines, and bought a piece of land said to have silver deposit*. Failing to find them, he sold oat to another party, who found the silver almost immediately. He then went to Chili and worked under Meiggs, the railroad contractor, and was in a fair way to accumulate a handsome fortune, whei his roving, reckless dispo- tition induced him to go to Brazil, and try to get the superintendency of a diamond mine. Failing in this, he wandered through South America for several years, and finally turned up in Mexico again. boarding houses on Boulevard Haussman are thronged with them. Those who come to stay over a month or two invaria bly abandon tho hotels and take to tho boarding-houses, where they can live much more comfortably and fare better for half the expense. The charge at these houses ranges from eight to twelve francs per day, including finely furnished cham bers and the use of the parlors, pianos, etc.,, with wine at dejeuner and dinner. Mftiiy American families are located here permanently, finding the cost of living much cheaper than at home. For three chambers and a private parlor at Mad am Feron*8, No. Ill Rue Neuve des Matturine, we pay thirty-six francs per day, which embraces everything, including the very pleasant American company which is usually to be found at these houses. The table is good and the at tendance excellent, and wo have no doubt that for a prolonged stay much lower rates could bo obtained. The papera are filled withjulvertiseinents of rooms and apart ment* to be let to Americans, and every one, even the servants, are finding the importance of speaking English. All the stores are providing themselves with speaking clerks. Colored nurses with American children in charge are quite common all over Paris, and the American citizen of African descent walks up and down the lxmlevards with his yellow kids and ivory-headed whale-bone under his arm without being any longer an object of curiosity. American dress-makers are invading the precinct* of the famous Worth, and Rave their establishments on liue Seville and Boulevard Haussmann, thronged with customers. The American dub room, the American cafe, and a number of fancy goods establishments have been recently started by Americans, and four American newspapers are pub lished in Paris! The American flag is to }»e seen in various sections of the city, and the carriage drivers, as well as tho store keeper*, are reaping a rich harvest. The number of American ladies here is unprecedented; and there is no city in Europe in which they love to linger as they do in Paris. They all want to stay until the equinoctial storm is over, never admitting that the desire for delay is to give time to the dressmaker* to provide them with a more elaborate toilet. We heard ;ui old widower, with a young and blooming wife, 03 "he scanned’ a 8,000 franc lace bill, say to hi* bride: “ My dear, do you desire all this finery to charm the eye of your husband, or is it to excite the envy of your friends ?” “ Well/’ she replied, “ I expect the last is tho strongest motive.” Sowing: ancl Reaping:. There was some very severe reproof in ex-Governor Bullock's address at Worces ter—all the. more severe because it was couched in such moderate language. Nothing could have been more courteous than ftis allusions to the President, noth ing more cordial than his tributes to the Republican p.irty; yet when he spoke of “the scandalous irregularities and im moralities” which liave pprung up in the public, service, uf lh-st denied, next connived at. and afterwards con doned under the-“pressure of impend ing - elections,” everybody knew what he meant and was a little startled at his temerity. Mr. Bullock is not a sen sationalist. He'represents the quiet, re spectable, well balanced loyalty of the old Bay State, and when be ventures to rebuke the mis© ndact of, his own'party we may be assured of a deep* seated and general dissatisfaction.

BisHor Quintakd. of Memphis, has been charged in religions newspaper* with having been present at and assisted in the vxtreme ritualistic rites of St. Igna tius’s Church, London. The bishop has written a letter to the Rev. Mr. Harris, of Memphis, saying that he officiated twice in St. Ignatius’s, both times ap pearing in the ordinary surplice worn by priests of the Episcopal Church, and using the common prayer-book. He says that nothing like “mass” was raid, and ho has taken part in none of the ritualistic ceremonies spoken of. try a no The Savannah Advertiser-Rspnbli- can give* currency to a rumor that Judge Wm.

Relief for Shreveport Free by Tele graph.

He had Mrs. Coney’s dog harnessed to a wash-boiler, and was driving up and down a cobble walk, when the lady came out with a finger in each ear, and told him he must clear out, as she expected company at two' o’clock, and his noise was altogether too much for the occasion, llis obedience w;is more prompt than she had any reason to expect or even desire. In fact, ho left at once, first giving the boiler a kick that nearly decapitated the dog at both ends. Mrs. Co ney was obliged to unhitch the dog herself, whicli she did after catching him. It appears that the boll at Mrs. Coney’s door is somewhat stiff in the spring, and rather difficult to sound. This fact wjis well known to young Coville, aud while Mrs. Coney was chas ing the dog, the youthful miscreant stole in the house, and with the help of a file fixed that door bell so it would pull easy. At 2 o’clock promptly the pastor of Mrs. Coney’s church came up on the stoop of Mrs. Coney’s house, and being aware that the bell poll required considerable muscle, gave it a sharp twitch, and immedi ately left the stoop head first, with the bell-knob clutched in his hand, and six feet of wire swinging above him. In the descent he split his coat the whole length of the back, broke down the gate, completely ruined his hat and seriously bruised both elbows. Mrs. Coney, who * is looking through the blinds all the time, was very much shocked by the ac cident, but promptly led the gentleman into the house, and a* promptly dressed liis wounds. An examination of the boll revealed that it had'been trifled with, and as Mrs. Coney was quite confident Coville’s l>oy had done it, she reported to Mrs. Coville that she actually heard him say the other* day that ho would * fix that bell*’ The fall term of school com menced yesterday, but Coville’s boy was not there.” All’s Well that* Ends Well. Saturday evening, says tho Sacramento Union, a gentleman in the employ of the Central Pacific Railroad Company drove out to a place about fifteen miles from the city, where his family ore stopping, and soon afterward started on his return to town. Before starting lie lighted his meerschaum and indulged in a long and pleasant smoke a& lie drovo along. This over, ho placed tho pipe in the outer breast pocket of his coat, and paid no more attention to it. By and by a pecu liar smell greeted his olfactories—a smell of burning woolen cloth—and, as it in creased, ho began to look about to see if his garments wero on fire, and at the first movement he found that the whole-pocket had burned out of his coat: and the fire was spreading rapidly. He grabbed at tho burning material hastily, but was so nervous about it that he frightened the horse, and the animal ran. To make matters worse, the lines wero nob buckled together, and one slipped out of his grasp while he was endeavoring to smother the fire with his other hand. Still worse, the increased speed increased tho breeze, which fanned the fixe, and portions of it dropped down upon liis pants, burning through them, and causing him to bounco up and down on the seat as though he wero trying to settle an unusually hearty neal. And there he was—horse running away, lino dragging and fire rapidly making the cuticle of his leg rival the hue of his red flannel underclothing. At last, by dint of dexterous clawing, lie managed to smother the fire, then stepped out on tho shafts and recovered the line, and in the course of time subdued the horse. E c- cCedingly thankful to get out of his trouble without broken hones, ho rode on to the city in a subdued frame of mind, and never thought of being profane until, just as ho was quietly slipping into a clothing store with the buffalo' robe gathered about him to conceal tho defi ciency of liis wardrobe, hr. met full in tho face two lady friends, who insisted upon his escorting them home, and •wanted to know what in tho world he had got himself wrapped up in that way fer? An incident is reLated concerning Tad Lincoln, which occurred when he was a lad of nine or ten year*. One member of the Cabinet ef Mr. Lincoln was strongly disliked by Tad. "When Lincoln was ill with the varioloid, the offensive Secretary so it his card in and asked for an inter view. Tad was present, and heard his father decline the request, sending the message that lie was ill. “Papa,” said Tab, protesting, “no, no, let him come in and catch it.” Mrs. Marquis of Lorne, will not be forlorn much longer.
