Augusta Nmcs: On Wednesday night
'last a man named Franklin, an em
ploye of Vaucluse Factory, near GranLe-
ville became engaged in a difficulty with
a man, named Myers, who kept a country
store within a mile of the mills. Myers

considered fatally hurt. Franklin es
caped.
Albany Advertiser: Macon’s yester
day's cutting scrape was between two
negro boys. At this writing the seat of
war has not been heard from for the cur
rent twenty-four hours, but we are pre
pared for the worst.
Augusta Chronicle: Parties interested
in the Eutaw excursion will be pleased to
know that sixty days’ tithe is allowed on
all tickets from Richmond, and those de
siring longer time from New York will
find it to their interest to consult with
officers of the club. This extension of
time enables all who wish to visit hew
York, on business or otherwise, to do so,
and returning remain at the Virginia wa-
tering places until the 1st of September.
Strangers to New York will find in this
opportunity a rare advantage in seeing the
great metropolis. The members of the
club are not only proverbial lor their at
tention to tlielr guests, but they have se
cured the services of Mr. II. A. Callan, of
the linn of Leve & Alden, the great tour
ist agents, to conduct the party to all
places of notoriety, and upon excursions
to the popular resorts. These arrange
ments have already been effected, and to
each day is assigned some delightful en
joyment.
The new steamship of the Ocean
Steamship company, which will be fin

honor ot our enterprising sister city. Miss
Fanny Casey, one of Augusta’s fair,

form the christening ceremonies. She
will proceed to New York early in July
for the occasion.
Coffee County Gazette: Mr. John
Williams, who lived about six miles from
town, died suddenly yesterday morning a
week ago. Mr. Williams heard the chick
ens cackling in an oak grove near the
house, ami went to look for a lien’s nest.
His absence being longer tkau necessary,
a young man went in search of him
when he was found lying on the groum

been m favor of putting our worthy young
men forward (the reason we put ourself
forward), and should Mr. Gaulden be our
opponent for ordinary we shall most as
suredly vote for him—endeavoring at the
same time, however, to clean him fairly
on the home stretch. It would be no dis
grace for any gentleman to be defeated by
the editor of so cetebratcd a journal as the
Free Prats, and we shall not feel dis
honored if Mr. Gaulden defeats us.
Eatonton Messenger: The other day
while Mr. G. W. Wardwell was having
removed the rubbish and broken walls of
the building formerly occupied by him as
a hardware store, and which was de
stroyed by the recent fire, a brick was
found witli a common paregoric pliial im
bedded in one side, the pliial containing a
slip of paper having written thereon the
following: “Eatonton, Ga., February 22,
1853. Thffrow of brick buildings "was
erected by Carter & Harvey. Tunis Tun-
isou was the undertaker, and this pliial
and paper deposited by S. M. Farrar.’’
February 22,1853, to February, 1S90,
makes it twenty-seven years ago since the
row of buildings was finished. Tins re
minds one of days long gone by, and
we reflect that three of "the gentlemen's
names on the “slip in the phial” have
gone to their long home, Carter, Farrar
and Tunison. The times are not now as
then, but we indulge no further reflections
for fear of becoming unnecessarily heavy
of heart.
Atlanta Phonograph: Mr. Thomas
Hcnncsly, who has been crazy since Jan
uary last, jumped from a car window
between Macon and Milledgeville, while
the train was running at a speed of fifteen
miles au hour. The train was stopped
and search made for the unfortunate man,
hut he could not be found, and it is
thought he escaped unhurt and returned
to his home in Henry couuty.
Thomaston Times: The suggestion of
the name of Hon. A. O. Bacon to succeed
Gov. Brown in the United States Senate
seems to meet with very general favor
with the press of the State. Mr. Bacon
would represent Georgia with ability, and
with that integrity that has always char
acterized him.
Savannah News: The bridge of the
Savannah and Charleston railroad ore.-
the Savannah river, which was partly de
stroyed by fire on the 18tb lost, Las been
repaired, and trains passed over it yester
day. This restores regular communica
tion between the two cities, which was
partially hitemipted during the past week,
owing to the necessity of making trans
fers at tlie river. An announcement of
interest to merchants and shippers in this
connection appears elsewhere.
Levi Rutledge, au old and respected col
ored citizen, died on Friday afternoon at
bis residence in this city, aged fifty-one
years. He was highly esteemed by the
colored peaple generally, and was noted
for his piety, haring been for over thirty
years earnestly engaged in the work of
Christianity.
Rome Courier: The rumor gains cre
dence and the report is more widely cir
culated that Dr. Fe.ton will not be a can
didate for Congress this year. Believing
that he may not be, we will withhold
several more embarrassing questions
which wc intended to put to his “rirer-
ence,” assuring him that if he will put
aside the errors of the past six years and,
re-entering his little chapel, preach to
Bill Arp and Ids iellow— fellow— some
things, we will let him alone; but if he
will run, we assure 1dm the printers’
cases still bristle with bright, new inter
rogation points, that are very annoying to
sensitive souls.
Giuffin News: On Wednesday night
the store of W. J. Kincaid was broken
into by some thief and about $400 worth
of clothing stolen. A considerable amount
of coats, pants and vests were missing—
the very finest and best in the stock. The
store was entered from the roar by break
ing open a window in the cellar and going
up the stairway leading from the cellar
into the store room. Store-breaking is
becoming too frequent in this city.
Columdus Enquirer: Yestenlay Mrs.
J. C. Goldwire, who resides on lower
Oglethorjie street, was seriously burned.
The neighborhood was attracted by her
cries, and many rushed to her assistance.
She was preparing to get dinner, and the
fire was burning slowly. She thought a
small quantity of kerosene would kindle
it without injury to herself. One of the
lids of the stove was remeved, and the oil
poured iu. In less time than it takes to
tell it, the flames ran into the can, when
it burst. Mis. G. ran rapidly into the
yard of Mrs. Street, when the latter threw
a bucket of water on her, which extin .
guished the fire. Fortunately the burn
will not prove fatal.
The Columbus Times says: Without
any feeling of admiration for Senator
Brown’s course for fifteen years past, we
must in candor say that his speech in the

conceded by all who read this speech that
he lias ably advocated claims that have
been too long allowed to rest unpressed
by the friends of these old soldiers.
Augusta News: Dr. Wallace Bland
was still alive on the 21st, and his attend
ing physician expressed hopes of his final
recovery. He was shot on tlie 12tb of
April, and has been vibrating between lifo
and death ever since. It is said to be the
most remarkable case of gunshot wonnd
known to the medical fraternity.
Atlanta Post of 27th: Yesterday
morning a difficulty occurred between Ed
Kobiuson and Henry Mellon, two colored
boys, during which Robinson cut Mellou s
throat with a case knife, which he had in
his hand.
Yesterday, about 1 o’clock, a difficulty
occurred on Broad street, near Hunter, be
tween Jeff Hill, a negro boy, and Joe
Chapman, a white man, in which Hill
received a severe cut in the back of the
neck. It appears that Chapman went
into a hitch yard to hitch his horse to a
wagon, and whilst thus engaged was
accosted by Hill, who was drinking, and
asked to treat, which Chapman refused,
when Hill began abusingand finally made
an assault upon him. During the fight
Chapman cut Hill in the back of the neck
witli a barlow, inflicting a wound about
five inches long. The police arrested both
parties and took them to the lock-up,
whore Hill had Ills wounds dressed.
Columbus Enquirer: On yesterday
about day, just as the hands were water
ing the streets, two colored sisters met
after a long separation and were shaking
hands, hugging, etc., and asked tlie “good
Lord to send down his blessings,” when
the stream was turned on them, blinding
and thoroughly drenching the damsels.
They, being much frightened, ran away
holloing, and one solemnly declares that
it was the Lord “turned loose” on them,
and cau’t be convinced otherwise.
Home Tribune: We learn that Mr. Fred
L. I’almer, of this city, has passed his
trial examination and been admitted to
West Point. There were 105 applicants
examined at the same time, of which
number 30 failed. Georgia’s delegation
of three passed tlie trying ordeal of exam
ination without a single failure.
Sumter Republican: The third annual
fair of the Randolph county agricultural
society will be held at their grounds in
Cuthbert on the 1st, 2nd and 3d days of
July. Extensive preparations are being
made for tlie occasion and liberal premi
ums arc offered. Everybody is invited to
attend and carry articles of every kind for
exliibition. Several distinguished speak
ers will be on hand. A liberal programme
of amusements. Anangements will be
made with the railroads for cheap trans
portation. Let every one go that can, and
encourage the agricultural interests of the
couuty.
Hon. Thomas Hardeman.—I.a-
Grange Reporter: According to ap
pointment, this gentleman, who is a can
didate for tlie nomination for governor,
made a speech in LaGrange last Satur

He made a vei*J „ , : H

Hartwell Sun: A revival com
menced in Gainesville, Ga., on the 1st day
of April, and continued til, the 9th day of
June. In one of the love-feasts a child
under six years of age was the first
speaker, and the next was an old saint
over seventy years of age. In the love-
feast six different denominations united—
Baptists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Epis
copalians, Northern Methodists, and
Southern Methodists. There were 250
conversions. One hundred joined the
Methodist church, nine the Presbyterian
and six the Baptist.
Athens Chronicle: LieutenantMayne
left college for good last Saturday. The
lientenaiit has been among us for
some time, and his absence will be
greatly noticed by ail who have been so
fortunate as to have been thrown witli
him during his collegiate course, however
short of duration.
Savannah News: We notice in the
list of assignments of the recent cadet
graduates at West Point, just completed
by tlie secretary of war, that Cadet James
B. Erwin, of Savannah, who graduated
with credit, lias been assigned as lieuten
ant of company L, fourth United States
cavalry. Lieutenant Erwin is a son ot
Robert Erwin, Esq., 6f this city, and a
brother of R. G. Erwin, Esq., of the law
firm of Messrs. Chisholm & Erwin.
Griffin News: We have heard more
complaint this year about labor than we
have heard for years. We heard a plant
er in this town say yesterday that nearly
every hand in his neighborhood had quit
his employers and left them with a crop
on hand to cultivate, and no labor’to do it
witli. There is a law on our statute
books requiring the laborer aud the em
ployer to to fill their contracts, and if our
fanner friends would comply with that
law they could enforce their contracts.
The statute requires that a written con
tract should be made and approved by tlie
judge of the County Court ami put upon
record in his office. When this is done,
if the laborer or employer neglects or re-,
fuses to comply with tlie contract, the
party violating it can be cited to court to
show cause wny he should not comply, and
the court can, npon hearing the case, re
quire a compliance, and if the party still
refuses, the court can order them to jail
for contempt. If this statute was com
plied with, the fanners would find hut
little trouble in keeping their bands.
Savannah News: We learn from
g mtleinen living in South Carolina, along
tick river aad tlie vicinity, that a disease
of a malignant character lias for some
weeks been prevalent among the dogs in
that neighborhood, and many valuable
animals have been sacrificed. The symp
toms are similar to the rabies, and the
dogs affected manifest a disposition to
avoid people, but ere very savage towards
animals. Several planters have lost fine
horses and cows which were bitten by dogs
affected with this madness. Strange to
say, a few people who have been bitten ‘
have not been apparently affected in tlie
least, whilst the horses and cows that
were attacked suffered greatly and died.
The exact character of the disease is not
known, though, from the symptoms, it
would seem lo be akiu to hydrophobia;
the animals affected rushed at once for
water. A youth, who wa3 bitten by one
of these “mad” dogs a week or two ago,
was brought to Savannah for medical
treatment, and speedily recovered, aud
has exhibited no evil effects of the bite.
We learn that the mortality among tlie
canines has been very great, "aud several
gentlemen have lost entire kennels of flue
dogs. The dogs affected with the disease
have been killed in many instances before
they had time to spread the infection by
biting. The disease still prevails, though
for lack of material not to the same ex
tent.
Toccoa News: John Duyer, a son ol
“old Erin,” was arraigned before his Honor
Judge Sutton on the charge of vagrancy.
The judge asked Dim if lie was ready for
trial. ‘-Yes,” said he; “you may convict
me and I am ready to await the sentence.”
The judge then asked him if he had any
money. He replied, “not less than a
thousand dollars, but it is owing to me.*’
The court then proceeded to qualify the
witnesses, and just as they laid tneir bands
on the book tlie prisoner drew from Ids
pocket a small jewsbarp and began to play
that old familiar air, “At sixteen yearn of
age I was me mother’s lair haired boy,” |
they say the South is not to have a fast
mail service until next November. Wo
did think the fiscal year for which the
fast mails appropriation was voted, begins
next Thursday—so it does in the East
and West—hut in the South it does not
begin, it seems, until November.. The
South always comes in at the tail end,
and in this matter the appropriation will
doubtless bo so well absorbed by Novem
ber, that the authorities will conclude
that the South can wait until another one
is made by Southern votes. It will, in
that event, have sereral years to wait.
Athens Chronicle: We regret to re
cord the death, in this city, of Mr. John
Saye, brother of Mr. R. W. Save, the well
known contractor, on last Wednesday af
ternoon, aged about 76 years. He had
been a sufferer for a long time, but boro it
all with patience.
Savannah News: It will be seen in
our advertising columns that tho steamer
Carrie, which was sunk some time ago,
and which, as we have previously noted,
was .raised a few weeks since for the pur
pose’ of being put in repair, has been
thoroughly overhauled, and is now ready
to resume her regular trips. She will leave
Kelly’s wharf for Augusta and way land
ings to-morrow evening, and regularly
every Tuesday thereafter at 5 o’clock p.
m. For freight or passage, application
must be made to Messrs. H. M. Comer &
Co., 110 Bay street, her agents.
Dublin Gazette: Our choice for Sena
tor, as has been expressed before, is lion.
A. O. Bacon. A man who, it is true, is
rather young, which opposition has al
ready been argued against him; yet Col.
Bacon has a mind as well matured hs
many men in public positions of trust and
honor many years liis senior. No liner
executive officer can be found in the State,
and none more true and steadfast. Many
of «ir country people know Col. Bacon
personally, he havingat times been among
them, and he will doubtless get our rep-
lesentative’s vote.
Atlanta Constitution: Eufavla, Ala.,
June 25.—A very sad aud fatal accident
happened to one of our young men last
night about 8 o’clock. A crowd of young
men went down on the bluff to fire a few
guns over the result -of the Cincinnati
convention in nominating Hancock for
our next President. They fired about
four shots, using cotton for wadding.
While Mr. Ed Stephens was loading the
cannon for the next shot, standing in
front of the gun, throwing in powder with
his hands and ramming with an axe-
liandle, the cannon accidentally went off,
tearing both hands and arms into frag
ments. Dro. Baker, Johnson and Holt
were immediately called for. When they
reached the spotthey at once decided that
amputation was necessary. They amputa
ted one arm last night, and were to am
putate the other one this morning, but be
fore they did so Mr. Stephens died. It is
useless for me to say that the occurrence
is regretted, and saddens the hearts of all
the city. Mr. Stephens was a mechanic
of high standing, a sober, quiet, hard
working, unassuming young man, and
liked by every one who knew him. Two
or three little boys of the crowd were con
siderably burned with powder, but notlv-
ing serious will result to them. The
whole crowd was very enthusiastic over
the nomination of Hancock, and Mr. Ste
phens lost his life over a cannon by mak
ing a display of ids great delight.

Savannah Neics: Mr. Nicno»«- «-si.
old and well known citizen, died at
residence on Waters road, on Satur
day, about two o’clock in the afternoon,
after a protracted illness of several
mouths, and, although the announcement
was not unexpected, it was received with
general expression of regret.
Mr. Geil was borh iu Monsemlieim, a
borough of Ilesse Darmstadt—of which
town liis father was burgomaster, or may
or, for many years—in 1822. He came to
Savannah in 184:’, and engaged iu truck
fanning near the city, which business he
steadily pursued, with much success, un
til his death. He was a lieutenant in the
DeKalb Riflemen, of this city, of which
company he was one of the original mem
bers, and was also a member of tlie Ger
man Volunteers, of the Scliuetzen Geseli-
cliaft, aud a worthy brother of Zerubba-

Monroe Advertiser: Rev. Mr. Rush
in charge of the Forayth Methodist circuit,
has induced the people of the churches be
serves to repair the parsonage premises,
and, under his own direction, the improve
ments are going forward. Dilapidated
outhouses and tumbling fences will soon
be joyfully missed from this lot. Mr.
Rush is quite an old man, but has more
industry and vigor than many of the
younger ones. Much praise to him for
the good work he is doiug.
We learn from the Savannah News that
non. J. L. Warren was elected chairman
of the executive committee of the Democ
racy of Chatham county. A ratification
meeting was held Tuesday night at the
theatre, Gen. A. R. Lawton addressing
the masses.
The Lester club is displaying wonder
ful activity in Savannah. It is composed
of some of the best citizens of the “Forest
City.”
By' the outgoing train on tlie Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway last
Saturday a boy of thirteen was discovered
on the long trestle over the Altamaha
swamp. The lad became frightened and
left what would liave proved a safe re
treat underneath the crossties and started
to run before tho approaching train. The
air-brakes were put on but not until the
engine had struck the unfortunate youth
and hurled him to the swamp below.
At first it seemed to the passengers that
lie was dead, but convulsive motions were
soon discovered. The engineer slid down
one of the posts, picked him up ana had
him carried to the sleeping car, where a
bed was prepared for him. He was con
veyed to Jesup, a doctor meanwhile hav
ing been summoned by telegraph to meet
the train on its arrival.
On reaching Jesup, Dr. Lester, of that
place, took the boy in charge and did all
that was possible to be done under the
circumstances. An examination showed
that tlie lad’s skull was fractured by
striking a log in the swamp.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to
Colonel H. S. Haines, superintendent of
the Savannah, Florida aud Western rail
way, who, on learning of the accident, our
informant states, immediately sent Dr-
Win. Duncan, of this city, to Jesup by
pecial train, to look after the boy.
It
was a noble act, and entitles Col. Haines
to the gratitude of all who lore their fel
low creatures. Neither the road nor tlie
engineer were in any degree responsible;
and had the boy-been the son of wealthy
parents, instead of a little barefooted
waif, Colonel Haines could have done no
more to aid him in Ills distress. It
stamps him as a noble, kind-hearted man,
and those who are cognizant of his con
duct in this matter will never cease to
honor and esteem him. Tlie passengers
were enthusiastic in their expressions of
commendation of his course.
Albany- News: We learn that black
bears in large numbers infest Coolawa-.
bee swamp, in the neighborhood of the
Cruger and Davis places, about nine miles
west of the city, in tlie “Oaky Woods’
district. As many as six of these ani
mats have been seen recently at one time,
and there are said to be great numbers of
them in the swamp. They have played
havoc with the com fields,and are a source
of no little annoyance and loss to the
fanners in the neighborhood, especially
so as it is not a very easy matter to get
rid of them.

Atlanta Post: Gen. Grant has de

Judge Loclirane has come back to the
Democratic fold. Come in, Judge, your
vote will count as much as that of any
Democrat who lias never broken ranks.
True, Uncle Jonathan Norcross squad

Jonathan’s loss is Democratic gain.
Cleveland Advertiser: Some of our
exchanges intimate quite strongly that
Senator Brown is a Republican. Keep
quiet, gentlemen, and don’t say too many
hard things. Georgia never had a better
friend than Joseph E. Brown; and, be
sides, we believe he is a true Democrat,
and ever has been. One thing is certain,
the people of Georgia will not forget Ins
good acts toward the soldiers and their
families during the late war.
Grasshoppers.—Talbotton Register,
These pests have recently made their ap-
jiearance on tlie plantation of Mr. D. G.
Owen, near Pleasant Hill, and swarm
over his fields by the thousands. They
have attacked a field ofjcom for him, do-
A1I ^efforts lo exterminate them have
proven fruitless. In size they are rather
smaller and much more active than the
common grasshopper, with an appetite
keener than a new sickle. We do not
know the exact extent of tho damage thus
far perpetrated.
Atlanta Post: Gen. Bob Toomb3
cordially endorses tlie nomination of Han
cock, and says: “The Lord is on our
side at last. A better nomination could
not have been made. I have not voted
for a Presidential candidate in twelve
years, but can support this ticket-with
pleasure.”
The editor of the A.lbany Neics has
recently been to Cincinnati, and lias this
to say about her Southern railroad:
This road was built aud is owned en
tirely by the city of Cincinnati. It cost
nearly S20,000,000, and is a line indepen
dent of combinations, which is run in the
interest of that city, and was constructed
for Southern trade. Cincinnati, by her
liberality and enterprise, is reaping rich
reward. She is rapidly becoming the
principal market for the South, and when
the State of Ohio salutes Southern Democ
racy with a handsome Hancock majority
in November next, her “Queen City” will
be closer still and receive greater encour
agement from the tollers of the South.
Cincinnati is a great city—great in
wealth, in manufacturing enterprises, in
tlie mineral and agricultural resources of
the country surrounding her, and in the
warm, cordial and congenial liberality of
her people.
A special dispatch to tlie Atlanta
Daily Post from Augusta, dated June
29tb, says: James A. Gray, an old and
respected citizen, a leading merchant and
capitalist, died at this place this moni’ng
at seven o’clock. His death was the re-
Thc Man on the Monument Again.
The crowd had dispersed; the echoes of
the cannon had died away, and tho flick
ering embers of the fire3 cast fanciful
shadows throughout the scene, when I
paused in front of the monument, and
viewed again in the moonlight, the mar
ble sentinel whose watch is above the
bivouac of the dead. What changes, I
thought, has not time wrought. Here, at
the foot of this stone, whose chiseled lines
record the form of him who was the
South’s defender, and tlie golden beauty
of her cause now perished, we, the- people
whoso blood has stained a hundred fields,
have met to celebrate the honoring of one
whose hand once turned against us, now
upholds the banners of the South and
North, their folds entwining in the breeze.
What has not time wrought? Tho pas
sions that impelled are quenched, the ha
tred that persecuted is powerless, and the
swords, sheathed in their scabbards, hang
rusting with age upon the nation’s cot
tage walls. But our Cause 1 Sleeps it
still?
And as I looked, a smile grew bright
upon those marble lips above me, and low
and soft as the summer waves that mur
mur on the beach, a voice was heard:
“Arise, oh, Southland; greet thy morn.
Thy cause, thy lily cause, long folded,
blooms brighter for its sleep.” The
tyrant drags his chains across
the world, finding no hand to
strike one fetter off, and he whose
knightly hand crossed blades with ours
and fought and bled as heroes fight and
bleed, looks grandly down the land; the
sword hand outstretching far, is hid be
neath the olive branch, and lifted high,
the Southern Lily, whiter than the
driven snow, all spotless greets tlie mom.
The flower of liberty, which not the valor
of despair couid keep unfolded in the

Home Industry.
We have often wondered why more
people did not embark in what are termed
“home industries.” If we cannot each have
a canal, or individually are unable to start
a cotton factory or seme other industry
upon a grand scale, wo can do something
upon a smaller basis. There are many
vocations, which do not require so much
capital as they do pluck, and a determi
nation to succeed. Our ideas are general
ly too high. We want to do something
wonderful, and because wo cannot aston
ish the world with our enterprise, we
foolishly decide to donothiug.
One man, at least, iu our community
has demonstrated that success can be
achieved in the smaller industries. We re
fer to Mr. E. R. Anthony, who lives in toe
suburbs of the city. He has a vineyard
ef about six acres, iu which lie cultivates
about eighty varieties of grapes. The
most profitable varieties cultivated by
this gentleman are the Hartford Prolific
and the Concord, although several oth
ers are highly prized and extensively
cultivated. He has also quite an exten-
teusive fruit orchard, having about seven
ty-live varieties of peaches, aud something
like one hundred varieties of pears. He
has been a diligent husbandman, and
combining intelligence with industry, he
has made what others thought was a mis
take, a success.
His wine is celebrated all through mid
dle Georgia, and commands a remunera
tive pi ice iu this ctiy. His fruit is a fail
ure this year, as it is almost everywhere
Still he is not discouraged, but is making
continual improvements and expects to
reap a bountiful harvest next year. He
left with us a sample of the Hartford Pro
lific, which was exceedingly fine. Should
any one desire to spend an evening pleas

Yesterday afternoon Cameron, the man
who stands accused of the baiglary of
Colonel Lawson’s residence in Eatonton,
teu years ago, arrived in tbi3 city from
Colorado, in charge of two of his bonds
men, and was lodged m Bibb county jail
for safe keeping until this morning, when
he goes to the scene of his alleged crime.
A reporter visited him in jail last night,
and found him heavily ironed, hut cheer
ful and confident of acquittal.
In conversation with Cameron
learned that he was arrested in Denver,
Colorado, about two weeks since, upon in
formation furnished by a Macon man,
whose name he did not know. Placed in
jail, ho was held until his two bondsmen
arrived in that ciiy, and took him in
charge. He left Denver on Saturday
night, the 19th instant, and has been in
irons, and unable to change his clothes
since. He is anxious for a trial and set
tlement oftbe affair.
Cameron is charged with the burglary
of Col. Lawson’s safe in April 1S7S; from
the safe it is said $6,000 and papers worth
$12,000 were taken. It will be remem
bered that blood, as though from acciden
tal aelf-wouuding on the part of the burg
lar, was found upon the safe, aud a match
box near at hand. Suspicion fell upon
Cameron, who ran a saw mill near the
depot. It was found that his hand was
hurt, and other incidents of a circum
stantial nature having come to light, he
was arrested, and placed under a bond
of $13,000, this, ‘ however, being
soon after reduced to $6,000 by
Judge Bartlett. Cameron gave this bond
and skipped the country. He claims that
he is innocent, and that he forfeited his
bond because a man had been found to
swear that he (Cameron) bad made a
full confession of the crime. He says he
left property enough to indemnify his
bondsmen, viz: two saw mills, two grist
mills, oxen, carts, etc.
This is the prisoner’s statement. It is
likely that he will have a tough time in
proving his innocence. Five hundred

History* and Strawberry Packing.
It is a curious fact, says the London

of honorable antiquity, for it was alluded
to in the form of a political apologue by
Queen Elizabeth about three centuries

vices and faults appear in them like the
littler fruits hidden beneath the big.”

Paris, June 30.—Tlie police arrived at
the Jesuit establishment iu the Rue de
Levres at 4 o’clock this morning. They
were immediately admitted. Shortly af
ter a crowd of five hundred persons, com
posed largely of students and women, col
lected. There was some shouting for and
against the decrees. The police partly
cleared the street and refused to admit
M. Baudry d’Asson to the building. The
prefect of police having arrived, the build
ing was formally declared closed. The Je
suits, accompa-ied by several deputies and
senators of tbe right, departed, amid great
excitement, caused by demonstrations by
then sympathizers and counter demon
strations. There were indignant cries
against the prefect of police. In the ensuing
scuffle, the Marquis of Diancoura and
the chief editor of the Union, a Legiti
mist journal, were arrested. Some of the
fathers locked themselves in their cells,
which had to be broken open. The last
left at &30 o’clock. The police then
cleared the street, and remain on gaurd.
At Vais the door of the establishment
had to be forced open and the Jesuits con

whom were present under arms. At Du

London, June 30.—A Paris dispatch to

waited on the Jesuits to express their

" The last of a series of meetings was
held in Paris yesterday to protest against
the anti-Jesuit decrees. A crowd assem
bled outside the building, and blows were
exchanged between the mob outside and
those issuing from the hal'. The mob
hooted a number of priests who had been
at the meeting.
A Paris dispatch to the Times says: An
immense crowd of people, composed of
the upper classes, lias been flocking all

Thousands of persons carried off flowers
as mementoes. Even the crowd outside
made no hostile demonstrations as they

system will certainly be adopted, as all
who opposed it would know that their

Left would care to run such risk of non
election. M. Ganibetta’s own name will
appear as a candidate for every depart

to favor the programme drawn up by
him. His election by a large majority of
departments will constitute a plebiscite in
