THE SOUTHERN OPINION. Treasure Stolen from an Kxtraorsli nary Iflislisii? IMuce. Henry anti Annie Benton, colored, were arrested yesterday by detective Jenkins, eh irged with arson anti robbing Laurence Finifof 52W5.40 in gold. It appears that, for safe keeping, Mr. Finn, who resides in Edgefield, some time ago secreted his money above the ceiling of a privy, think ing that by this means it would never be discovered, lie little dreamed that any sharp-eyed thief would e\er spy out so extraordinary a hiding place. Mrs. Finn and her husband, who is paralyzed, were awakened about three o'clock yesterday morning by the cry of lire from Benton and his wife, who appeared to have been awako for some time. The privy had been fired, but only a few shingles were burned before Mrs. Finn suppressed the Hatties with two or three buckets of water. What was her consternation on looking-inside to discover that a breach had been made in the ceiling, and ail the gold had been taken therefrom Suspicion at once fell upon the two servants, and they were sent to jail to await an investigation before Esquire Can field, Monday afternoon. We understand that the woman at first confessed that herself and husband hud -toien the money, but.on urrivingatthn j.til both stoutly asserted their innocence. There is, at any rate, the strongest proba bility of their guilt. Mr. Finn was preparing to enter business with the lost money.— Nashville Banner, May id. Aitisay. —Our usually quiet and peace ful city was disturbed by a very danger ous affray on last Saturday. The general facts as we get them, are about as follows: On Friday evening Deputy Marshal Os walt attempted to arrest Thos. B. Cox, lor shooting a pistol on Broad Street. Cox charging Oswalt with an attempt to do this in an improper manner, resisted. Oswalt linuily succeeded, and Cox was taken be fore the Mayor by Marshal Logan, and lined twenty-live dollars, anil cost, and Os wait instructed to collect the money, but was allowed two days in which to uo It.— On Saturday evening, as Mr. Cox was crossing the street near the bank, and Os walt following him, Cox turned round and ordered Oswalt to quit dogging him about and threatened to shoot hint if he persisted. Cox drew his pistol and told him 10 go away and let him alone, stating that he did not wish to hurt him. Cox then started on again, when Oswalt ordered him to halt. — As Cox was in the act of turning towards him, Oswalt fired. They lired four or five times each, and bring only six or eight yards apart, it is very strange that only one ball took eif-ct in either of the parties. Cox received a slight flesh wound in the leg. One ball p i-~ed through the window of Sullivan ,V f.iw Tilley's store, and lodged in an umbrella. One went into the Milline ry store of Mrs. Att.away and Miss Wilkin son, and the others scattered round at ran dom. There being many persons on the stre t, in the vicinity, it is very strange that no one was hurt. The parties were taken be fore the Mayor on Monday morning, and placed under bonds of two hundred dollars each, to appear at the next term of the Su perior Court, to answer to the charge of an affray ill the public highway. —Hume Courier, oth. Suicide of James T. Guay.—The sud den death of this young man. who was widely known in this community, a few mornings ago. excited a good deal of re mark at the time of its occurrence. It seems that he liul been complaining the night previous r., his death, and had taken a dose of medicine, but tln-se with him did not sup;;' -e til, le was much the matter. Early next morning he was found speech less, and soon afterwards died. The im pression was at once created that he had died from the effects of poison, and a post mortem examinat on was requested by iiis friends. The brain and the stomach were accordingly taken out and closely an alyzed by most all the prominent physi cians in the city, and yesterday they agreed upon a report. .Morphine. Calomel, and perhaps other medicine, were found in the stomach. Death was immediately produced by mor phine. All the circumstances of tiie ease go to prove that lie tool; the morphine of his own accord, and the report that it was administered to him by mistake is utterly groundless. lie was an eraplyee of the Southwestern ltailroad. and is said to have been laboring under a depression of spirits. He was known as rather a last young man, and had his virtues as well as his faults.— Journal and Messenger, 6th. Mr. Beecher writes to this week’s Ledger: ‘-Explain to me, if you can, Mr. Bonner, why it is that so many young peo ple are ashamed to have it tuouglit they have no money ? or why is it that they are ashamed of economy in the management of slender means, and of frugality in liv ing? There is no disgrace in being an acorn before being an oak. Young people frequently wish that they were grown men ; but thejyire not ashamed of being young! Mo one # ashamed to have it discovered that his strength, knowledge and skill are proportioned to liis Tears. But these same persons will blush, and suffer shame, under circumstances in which all the sensible world knows that they ought to have done!” Death of Hev. Jxo. P. Campbell.— This melancholy event, which had been anticipated by his friends, took place yes terday morning at S o’clock, at iiis resi dence on Summer street. But a few days ago lie was canvassing our streets in be half of the Pacific Railroad. Though age had set liis signet upon his brow, and bleached his hair, none expected to be so soon called upon to lament his death, lie was for many years a citizen of Nashville, and was ever foremost in promoting iier ad vancement. He was a minister in the Cum berland Presbyterian Church, and author of a work of very considerable merit on "Christian Union.” He leaves a large family and many friends to mourn liis loss. Nashville Union and Dispatch, iith. US ' The Emperor of the French l:itely r created Mr. Paul Dupont, proprietor of a Paris printing establishment, an oliieer of the Legion of Honor. A deputation from the printing office waited on the Emperor with an address ot thanks, signed by the eleven hundred workmen employed. The Emperor, in reply, said that the honor had been conferred on Mr. Dupont because he laid introduced into his establishment the principle of co-operation, which tended to create a unity ot interest between masters and their operatives. The Randolph Case.—a dispatch was received from Selma yesterday, statin" that the writ of habeas corpus in the Ran dolph case had been admitted by the mili tary authorities. The case with probably come before Judge Busteed in this place in a few days.— Montgomery Advertiser, 6th. Abyssinian Slave Beauties. From Sir Sarnual Baker’s “The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia.” On my return to camp I visited the es tablishments of the various slave mer chants. These \ ere arranged under large tents formed of matting, and contained many young girls of extreme beauty, ran ging from nine to sevnentcen years of age. These lovely captives, of rich brown tint, with delicately formed features and eyes like those of the gazelle, were natives of tiie Galla, on the borders of Abyssinia, from which country they were brought by the Abyssinian trailers, to he sold for the Turkish harems. Although beautiful, these gills are useless for hard labor; they quick ly fade away and die unless kindly treated. They are the Yenuses 01 that country, and not only are their faces and figures per fection, but they become extremely attach ed to those who show them kindness, and they make good and faithful wives. There is something peculiarly captiva ting in tiie natural grace and softness ot these young beauties, whose hearts quickly respond to those warmer feelings of love that are seldom known among the sterner and coarser tribes. Their forms are pecu liarly elegant and graceful, the hands and feet are exquisitely delicate, the nose is generally slightly aquiline, the nostrils largely and finely shaped; the hair is black and glossy, reaching to about the middle ot the back, but rattier coarse in texture. These girls although natives of Galla, in variably cali themselves Abysinians, and are generally known under that denomina tion. They are remarkably quick at learn ing. At Keartouin, several of the Europe ans of high standing have married these charming ladies, who have invariably re warded their husbands by great affection and devotion. The price of these great beauties of nature at Gallabat was from twenty to forty dollars. The Chief Justice—A New Danger to the Radicals—The Warning Voice of “Old Thad. Stevens.” —The radicals who contend that the sunjand moon ought to stand still till Andrew Johnson is removed have been a little fluttered at the hint that Chief Justice Chase, at the close of the ar guments on both sides, may assume the right to deliver a charge on' the law and the testimony, according to the usage ol all other courts in criminal cases. Mr. ■sumner’s resolution, providing that at tne close of the arguments the Senate shall proceed to vote on tiie several specifications of the indictment “guilty” or “not guilty,” it is supposed is aimed to head off the Cliff J ustiee, and he may be headed off', lie lias however, the whole case in his hands upon this very issue, and lie may bring this mock ery of i trial to an inglorious collapse by taking- a firm position in behalfofhis rigiii and duty as presiding judge to deliver tiie usual charge t» the jury. The Chief Justice, let us suppose, wili claim this right, and let us further suppose that to avoid any controversy with him the Senate will concede it ; then, in order to secure the ends of justice in delivering his charge, lie lias only, first, to say that such is the evidence and such is tiie law submitted in this trial that the accused can be convicted only upon presumptionftnd that accordingly, in his opinion, the indict ment ought to be quashed. Secondly, with the refusal of the Senate to accept this charge, the Chief Justice has only to sav that a sense of duty requires him to retire from tiie court, and tiie case at once col lapses, because his presence as the presiding officer is necessary to the validity of this trial from the beginning to the end. With liis retirement there wou'd be no way to meet the difficulty; because, if Mr. Chase should be impeached, tried, convicted and removed for "hiirh crimes and mlst]emp,,u. ors” in this matter, his successor as ('hiet Justice would have to be appointed by President Johnson and confirmed by the Senate before the trial of Johnson could be resumed. Under such a state of tilings, ill short, the Chief Justice would be master ot the situation, and Andrew Johnson could quietly settle himself down to the adminis tration of the functions of his office till 4th of March next.— N. Herald April 28. The Impeachment.— The trial drags heavily to-day. The feeling among Sen ators is becoming so strong in favor of fin ishing the trial that an effort will be made, with prospect of success, to hold a session this evening, should Mr. Stanbery not con clude liis argument during this afternoon, it was Mr. Bingham’s intention io have had the commencement ofhis speech print ed, but he lias changed his purpose, and he will now speak altogether from notes. Several heavy wagers were made here yesterday on the final result of the im peachment trial, the odds being about three to one in favor of conviction. When the impeachment Court assembled to-day, the galleries were not one-quarter filled, and very little interest was manifes ted in the proceedings in that part ot the Chamber. After the usual preliminary proceedings, Mr. Stanbery continued hi's argument, but had spoken only a few min utes when he became exhausted and was compelled to sit down. Senator Beverdy Join on moved an ad journment. in consequence of Mr. Stan bery’s feebleness. Mr. Stanbery, however, asked that an adjournment should not be made, and, after pausing a few moments to rest him elf and wipe his brow, he re sumed his feet and went on for some ten minutes, when he was again obliged to sit down from exhaustion. Mr. Stanbery again asked that there should be no ad journment on his account. Mr. Sumner suggested that someone else should read the speech, and Mr. Stanbery then asked that liis private secretary, Mr. W. F. I’ed drick, might be allowed to read it, and that gentleman, who is something of an elocu tionist, proceeded to read it in tones so distinct that some thought it a matter ol regret that he had not been engaged to read all the speeches of the trial. From the progress made in the reading up to two, P. M., it is quite certain that it will be concluded this afternoon. — Wash ington Star, 2 d. In Bad Luck. —Henry Fyall, a negro Representative elect from Macon county is now in jail at Oglethorpe, for perjury It seems that Fyall had been a resident of Bibb county until a few days before the election, lie wont down to Macon county and announced himself as a candidate. When lie walked up to vote for himself, a citizen challenged him as a non-resident. He forthwith took the oatli and voted. Immediately after the election he was ar rested and imprisoned. And this is a sam ple of the men to be sent to our Legisla tive assemblies, through the enfranchise ment and easily duped race.— Dawson Journal, The Right Spirit, if They Have it. — Col. Forryth, in a late letter to the Mobile Advertiser, says the Democrats of the North have lirmly resolved, if necessary “to inaugurate, at the point of the bayonet, the white President elected by a majority of tiie white men of the United States.” Il such is their determination, we can only give them the advice of Sumner to Stan ton—“stick.' ’ — Macon Telegraph. AV EEKLY SOU T HERN OPINION. .loan Stillings’ “Animated Nature,»> tiie croiv. Next t o the monkey, the crow has the most deviltry to spare. They arc born very wild, kan be tamed nz easy nz the goat kail, but a tame crow is aktualiy worse than a sore thumb. If there is ciinytliiiig about the house that they kant get into, it iz because the thing aint big enuf. I had rather watch a (iisS trikt skool than one tame crow. Crows l.ve on what they can steal, and they wili steal ennytbing that aint tied down. They are fond ov meat vittles, and are tiie first to hold an inquest over a depart ed hoss or a still sheen. They are a fine bird tew hunt, but a hard one to kill; they can see y u 2 miles first, and will smell a gun right thro the side of n mountain. They are not songstirs. aillio thee have a good voice to cultivate; but what they do sing they seem to understand thorough ly ; long praetiss has made them perfekt. The crow is a tuff bird, and kan stand the heat like a blacksmith, and cold like a stun wall. They buikl their nest among a tree, and lay twice, and both eggs would hatch out if they were laid in a snow bank; t ier aint. no such thing as stopping a young crow. Crows are very lengthy. I beleave they live always. 1 never knew one to die a nat nil doth, and don't beleave they know now. They are always thin in flesh, and arc like an old inj un-rubber shew —poor inside and out. They are not considered fine eating, al t.lio i have read somewhere uv bileil crow, but still I never heard uv the same man hankering for some bileil crow 2 times. This essa on the crow is copied from na tur, and if it is true, 1 aint to blame for it: untilr made the crow. I didn’t; il i had, i would have made her more honest and not quite so Miff. HENS. leads me to remark, in the fust place, that thus far they are a suckcest. They are domestic, and occasionally are tuff. Tliis i owing to their not being bileil enuff in their younger daze; hut the hen aint tew blame for ihis. Bileil lien is universally respected. There iz a great deal of originality tew in the lien —exactly how much i kant tell, historians fight so much about it. Sum say Knower had hens with him in the ark, and some say lie didn’t. So it goes, which and tlltlier. I kant tell yu which was born fust, the lieu or the egg; sometimes I think the egg wuz. and sometimes 1 think i don’t kno, and I kant tell now which iz right for the life f me. Laying eggs is tiie hen’s best grip. A iien that kant lay eggs—iz laid out. One egg is considered a fair day’s work for a lien. I iiav herd of their doing better, but 1 don't want a lien ov mine tew do it— it is apt tew hurt theireonstirution ad by laws, and thus impair their future worth. The poet sez, beautifully : “Sumbodv has stole our blew hen; i wish tile; N1 let her oeu. She ti ed to lay i eggs a lay, Aral Sundays she laid 3.”’ This sounds new'enuff for poetry, but I will bet 75 thousand dollars that it never took place. This bet stands open till the 17th daj' ov next November till half-past 12 o’clock. The Trial of Jeff. Davis. —Statements have been extensively circulated that the trial of Ji ff. Davis is likely to conn; off’ at ihe next term of the District Court at Richmond. There is no ground for the belief that such will he the case, it is true that Mr 11 i i.nimr. id A-.-o ago. held some conversations about the probabilities of aa early trial, but il is also true that neither knew nor learned any thing definite. This ease is dependent upon matters beyond tiie control of Davis’ counsel or the District Attorney. The question of further continuance must be decided by the Attorney General for the President, who may be in office at that rime. It is not likely that Mr. Browning, on the part of Mr. Joh son. will take the responsibility of having trial proceed, if the question of the President's retention or removal should still be pending before the Senate, and should Mr. Johnson go out oi office, it will readi y be seen that the course of action which will be determined on by his successor can only be a subject of guesswork. That so important a trial should not lie proceeded with in the first weeks of the new President’s incumbency seems to he generally agreed, even if the excitement of a Presidential canvass and the necessary reconstruction of the various departments of the Government do not make it n inconvenient time to attend to the trial of a State criminal. £3? The famine in the French colony of Algeria is accompanied by the most horri ble cases of tne sacrifice of human beings to the ravenous hunger of the survivors. One incident recalls vividly to mind the account given in Scripture of the seige of Samaria by the King ot Syria. Two wo men of the same Arab tribe, having eacli a child, and being unable to obtain from any source, agreed to devour tiie two little ones. Lots were drown, and tiie first vic tim and lly consumed. When it became the turn of tiie other mother to surrender her child, she refused to fulfil her part of the compact, and tiie disputes wlißfs took place in consequence brought tiie whole affair to light. Again, there are pretty well au thenticated instances in which French sol diers have been murdered and eaten by Arabs, who, in addition, are constantly at tacking each other and tiie negroes to pro cure corpses for food. The French news papers are filled with details of these shocking atrocities, and they declare that the two millions of francs recently voted by tiie Legislature is altogether insuffi cient to relieve the famine. A Case in Point. —The New York Her ald has a wicked “joke on Murphy.” There was a man before an Irish jury on his trial for murder. It was a bull of a trial; for the defense produced in court, alive and well, the man who was said to have been killed. But the trial went on, and the jury went out; and, not to be daunted by any such little fact as the presence alive of tiie mail who sliould have been dead, they brought the prisoner in guiltv. “How’s this?” says the Judge; “there has been no murder; the man is alive in court.” “Weil, your Honor,” said the foreman, “the jury is convinced that the prisoner did not mur der this man; but he is a dangerous per son. lam sure he killed my gray mare, and we believe that hanging him is neces sary to the peace of the country.” That Irish jury, says the moral of the Herald’s story, is sitting in the chamber of the Unit ed States Senate. It has tried a man on certain charges. He is proved not guilty of the charges, but it is proposed to con demn him all the same, and this is radical law and radical justice. ESP Corner loungers in Chicago are fined $25 for the first offense, and SSO for the second, and SIOO for the third, and for further violations of the ordinance, any sum in tfie discretion of the magistrate. General Albert Sidney Joliiiston. To the Editors of the Louisville Journal: While rambling through the cemeteries of New Orleans recently, I suddenly came upon the last resting place of General Al bert Sidney Johnston, on whose tomb, pasted upon a rough board, I found the fol lowing expressive inscription. Every at tempt to discover its author has been vain ly made. Here is the beautiful epitaph copied verbatim: INMEMO K I A M : Behind this stone is laid, For a season. ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON, A General in the army of the Confederate Stateq Who fell at Shiloh, Tennessee. On the sixth day of April, A. D. Eighteen hundred and sixty-two: A man tried in many high offices And critical enterprises. Arid found faithful in all. His life was one long sacrifice of interest to conscience: And even that life, onawoful Sabbath, Did lie yield as a holocaust to his country's need. Not whiffy understood was he while lie lived; But, in his death, liis greatness stands con fess’d in a people’s tears. Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not wanting In that finer ambition which makes men great and pure. In liis honor—impregnable; In his simplicity, sublime. No country ever had a truer son—no cause a nobler champion; No people a bolder defender—no principle a purer victim Than the dead soldier Who sleeps here! The cause for which he perished is lost— The people for whom he fought is crushed— Tiie hopes in which he trusted are shat tered— The flag lie lov’d guides no more the charging lines; But his fame, consigned to the keeping of that time, which, Happily, is not so much the tomb of Virtue as its shrine, Shull, in years to conic, tire modest worth to noble ends. In honor, now. our great Captain rests; A bereaved people mourn him; Three Common wealths prondly claim him; And history shall cherish him Among those choicer spirits, who holding their conscience unmix'd with blame, Have been in all conjunctures, true to themselves, their country and their God. (3irThe Supreme Court of the State o! Wisconsin has ordered a perpetual injunc tion against the laying down ot the Nich olson pavement in a street of Madison it that State. The ground of the decision is. that the city charter requiring all contracts to he let to tiie lowest bidder, a contract cannot be made for an article upon which there is a monopoly.
