Napoubon.O , Docembar 2T—Tba following
arc the particular* of the murder of young
Drury by ex-Govemor Scott, of South Caro
lina: Drury was a clerk in Knee land's
drug store and celebrated Christ mas eve
with several young companions, among
them being Scott’s eon, who drank too
.i acb.and not wishing hih parents to see him
intoxicated, accepted an offer by Drury to
share the latter'# bed at the durgatore. About
II o'clock a gentleman was tent by Mri Scott
to find her son, discovered his whereabout*,
failing to induce him to go home returned
to the hotel and reported the facta to Gen
era! Scott. The general then went to the
store and called Drury up and asked for hit
son. Drury denied that youUfc Scott
: be realix *d this fact, and before crossing the !
trestle, he reversed his engine and con- *
tinned tv blow on brakes. Realizing the
catastrophe, he left his stat, and standing
in front of the fire-box with hit band
on the lever a waited the shock. It came
and he was partially knocked down by a
•tick of wood from the tender, but was
» otherwise unhurt, though almost entirely
• shut in by a mass of debris, which was J
thrown against the engine. His life was
probably saved by the fact that the rear of
the tender was thrown to one side thus
diverting the fall momentum of the
train from the engine to the side of the cut,
against which the shattered cars were piled
up. All the passengers in the cab of the
forward section were either killed or seri
ously injured. Thomas A. Gaither, of this
city, f scaped with broken ribs, but Phillip
a Whianant, also of this city, Charles
Kellers, of Pine Hook, and a negro named*
Stroud were instyntly killed. The wreck
caught fire and burned up, and at least
one man was burned alive,
as his cries could be beard, but nothing
could be done for him. Mr. Gaither was
the sole survivor of the passengers in the
cab, A large force of men are now engaged
in moving the wreck and building a track
around it.

Conyers Examiner.
For the gratification of the enquiring
public, we give a few facta ta related by
Mrs. Kswling, the mother of the young
lady who, it is alleged, was married to Mr
Fontane, both of whom came to Conyer*
several weeks ago, the alleged husband en
gaging in the jewelry business.
Mrs. Rswling says; "Mr. Fontane, alias
Nutail, who has a nice wife and four chil
dren at home, wks made to leave his b>ard
mg house, in Dallis, S. C , because he failed
to pay his board. He then applied lo her
t* rent some rooms for his family, which
she did. He engaged in business at
Kings mountain, vidtinghis wife regularly
every Saturday night, and seemed to get
along as agreeably as two people could.

and became intimate with Miss Rawling.

Fontane, alias Natali, says he followed
i hem, unbeknown to her father, on
the same Ira n, and eloped with Mias
Kawling. This eras in June or July last.
Nutail says himself they traveled together
through Tennessee, Ohio and Illinois, as-
Miming different names, thinking some of
the Rswling family were in p-.irsnlt, and
says he "knew he wonld be killed if they
caught him for stealing bis wife, uni that
he didn't want any trouble about it.”

CRIMEA HP CtSUALTY.
Chicago. Decernoer ss.—x most melancholy
and pecu.lar tragedy was one of the episodes of
Christmas in Chicago. 1 he >cene of the tragedy
waa at the eleeant residence on Lake avenue of
Mr. Robert Hehded, assistant manager of the
branch of the bank of Montreal in this city. The
household constated of himself, wife and a little
babe, some three months old, hla sister, JLss Ada
Hcbdcn and the servants
It la staled by all In the vicinity that no family
lived happier than this one It was remarked by
the neighbor- that Mrs. Uebden never went out
but that Mr. Hebden’a sister went with her. ** I

Ssx Feakcisco, December 27.—Sir Thomas
Henry Fermor Hesketh was married Thurs
day evening to Miss Flora Sharon, daughter
of United States Senator Sharon. The cere
mony was performed at .Belmont, the
country seat of the senator, at 7 o’clock.
There were one hundred guests present at
the marriage ceremony. Dr. Beers was the
officiating clergyman. Subsequently there
was a reception at which over one thousand
invited guests were present, who were car
ried out by special trains to Belmont.
Many of the toilets of the ladies were mag
nificent.
The bridal robe was one fit for a qneen,
and never before was such a costume seen
this country. The gown was of a
hour.
After dinner Mr. Hebden went upstairs to the
nursery tu look after the child, ihe uu&ehaving
gone down stairs. Mrs. Hebden had also left the
room Mias Hebden walked lo the secretary In
the parlor, from which ahe took a small Smith &
Wcsaou revolver. Plating herself in front of the
maut epiece she cocked the weapon, directed the
muzzle iowar-1 her breaa; and fired, the bail in-
filming a wound from which she died in a few
momenta. 1 be alarm was at once sent out to

ront pices were panels of point d’Angle-

of the pearl embroidery that joined the
under train, over which fell a second train
of the same magnificent silk, and which is
known as the Manteau dc Coor, or, to put
it in English, the same style of coart train
that is worn at a presentation to the English
queen of to-day. It was put in deep plaits
on a band and J lined tb the waist under
the body, which was cut in points both
front and back, with bands of the same
embroidery around the square cut
neck, down the front and around the
side, and laced in the back. The demi-
sleeves were finished with a fall of the
same rich lace, abont two and a half inches
wide, and above it a band of the embroide

was the rich piece of lace (also pointed
d’Angleferre and the same width as the
panels), which commenced at the point of
the body in front. Was carried gracefully
ever the hips, and met in the back, falling
over the entire train and reaching to the
bottom of it in two broad waves, being
caught to the gown with bunches of white
flowers of an indescribable style. A drapery
of point d’Angleterre lace fell
over the shoulders, meeting in the front,
and was held together by a bunch of arbe
pine flowers. A perfectly plain long tulle
veil? reaching to the floor, was fastened to
the hair with a little knot of arbepines.
The ornaments were most magnificent

that Sir Thomas settles $25,000 a year on his

To the Editor of the National Republican:
Sir—The friends of ex Attorney-General
Akerman were pained by the news of his
unexpected death, as announced in this
morning’s paper.
When I parted from him in Cartersville
Ga., three weeks ago. he give promise of a
long and viguroiulife. He wm engaged jn
a vt-ry extensive and lucrative practice,
which was constantly increasing. When
bis hopes were brightest he was suddenly
stricken down by the destroyer, leavit-g a
wife and six bright, manly little boys, with
a host of warm friends to mourn bis un
timely death.
His friends were just now very hopeful
that he would be appointed to fill the va
cancy made by the eleva’ion of Judge
Woods to the supreme bench. No man in
the south ado could have been appoi*.ud
would have filled it more capably and hon
estly. He wonld have brought to the bench
the learning, culture and careful pains
taking that are needed to make a good ju
rist.
But no words of mine will add anything
to his legal reputation, already national.
I desire to bear testimony to his worth
and high character as a citizen, a
neighbor, and a friend. He was so
honest in his convictions,, so unflinching
in the discharge of what he believed to be
his duty, that nobody coul 1 associate with
him intimately without great respect for
his rectitude of life and character.
Our town and county will greatly miss
him. for he was liberal to all public enter
prises that promised good to our people. I
speak the sentiments of his neighbors, who
knew him best and appreciated him roost,
when I tender their heartfelt sympathy to
bis family, who are so greatly bereaved in
his loss. W. H. Fsltox.

fairly; and if as a judge he proves a fail
ure, it will be because of his want of early
training and application in law knowledge,
not because he is or ever was deemed
corrupt. As circuit judge in the south
he was popular, and the people had the
greatest confidence notonly in his integrity,

Special Correspondence Constitution.
New York, December21.—It looks as If the de
mocracy of New Yotk was determined upon doing
away with the“boas” system—which has been
the rule of plunderers who levied toll in propor
tion to the votes they control. The people of New
York have overthrown Tammany repeatedly, aud
its history has been one story of disaster from the
disgrace of Tweed to the downfall of Kelly. Mr.
Tilden was shrewd enough to see that
the Tammany system—which is the
system of ‘‘bosses"—was doomed to
and overthrow he easily took control of the state
by opposing it.
The real leaders of democracy have discovered
that the old organizations must bs wiped out and
ztew party machinery ado’ ted. They hare there-,
fore held meeting* at the Hots 1 Brunswick and
a plan has been carried out that will give a liberal'
and yet disciplined organization lit which there
?s at. once individuali ty and compactness. Under
this plan Tammany and Irving halls will be
ignored, and s;eclal antagonisms will be burled
in a policy broad enough for all democrats.
Tnere Is little opposition to the new programme,
even the general committee of Tammany being
divided on it la Philadelphia the tame steps
are being taken and a democratic club, upon
pretty much the bads of the Dnlon League, is to
be organised with George \F. Biddle and such
men at the head.
It need not be said that this reorganizdlon In
New York is the m:st hopeful dgn in the demo*
cratic heavens for many a day. The wrangllngs
of the New York democracy have brought noth
ing but defeat- bnt with a solid democratic vote in
New York the country can be carried by the
party. This last move brings to the front the best
have, not in special cqtiads of “ bosses,’*
but by a general advancement along the whole
line.
MB. TILDEN AND THK LATE CAMPAIGN.
Kelly's “Express" continues to charge that Mr.
Tilden is responsible for Hancock’s defeat. I
heard yesterday from a man wb*> had it from
Montgomery Blair, that he (Blair) -was with Mr.
Tilden when Bamtun tsked him for a subscrip
tion with which to carry Indians. Tilden asked
how much he thought he ought to subteribe, and
he replied: "I think, $30,030’’’ Mr. Tilden at
once gave him a check for $100,000. He told Mr.
Blair that night that denfoerfle? was fighting on
the wrong lames, snd would be beaten unless a
change ot front was made.
By the way I have a direct story about Tildcn’s
withdrawal at Cincinnati. We all remember that
his letter was construed to meAn withdrawal. Mr.
Tilden did not peremptorily forbid the use of his
name until 2 o’clock the night before Hancock
was nominated. There was a private wire run
ning from Tilden to the rooms of W. L. Scott, of
Pennsylvania. Blair, Seott and one or two
others freely dlschsscd ihe sitnation after
adjournment on the second day In which Hancock
had forged ahead. At 2 cTclock a dispatch was
received from the old niin positively forbidding
the use of his name—and,then and there the
fight for Tilden was abandoned. Mr. Tilden haa
Gild repeatedly that lie could have
been elected without doubt If he had
been given the nomination at Cincinnati—in spite
of John Kelly. He now declares Htai he is out of
politics and business, and will give his few re
maining years to leisure and enjoyment. He looks
better than ho has for years.
JUDGE WOODS AND HIS SUCCESSOR
lhero is a decided drift in Washington for
Judge McCay as the successor of Judge Woods, it
being reliably stated that Judges Wbods and
Bradley have both endorsed his application. A
gentleman who talked with the prteldent
mbje-t says he said iu terms that he
would -not appoint a Georgia man
I as ihe appointment of Judge Woods itself Is cred
. itatemeut the
friends of Judge McCay are dlscouragf /
of them hnyfc abandoned the fight. He is
first twitted with languishing in population and
prosperity, and, when the census exposed this
not had the manliness to retract, although the
census bureau has substantiated the accuracy of
from the description of the
ballots and doctored return ,
reason to expect a phenomenally large rote in
that section. And now that it turns out to be
much less, in ratio to the population, than that of
the northern states, the deficiency is credited to
suppression. Some people are very hard to
please.
A Heavy Snow.
The most remarkable snow ever seen in At
lanta appeared when the people of the city woke
up Wednesday morning. It began to snow at mid
night and steadily until daybreak the white
crystals fell, covering the earth with a mantle of
white which gleamed even In a moonless night
At 8 o’clock there was such a fall
of snow as was never seen before
•in these parts." The earth was already covered,
but this piled ou the fleecy mantle nntll it
smoothed over the landscape and draped every
roof wirh its soft covering. At 0 o’clock It was
nearly six inches deep even where it had not
drifted, and in places where the tViud hadvj* hill
ed the fleecy flakes It wa.*/ fool or more to rolld
earth.
Old inhabitants who hnvo known Atlanta
since it was Marjha^vllle say there was never such
snow here. In the winter of 1870-’77 there was
a sleet and snow which lay on the ground a
week, but it was cot so deep as this.
The United States signal station at this point
showed that the storm was very general in
Georgia and the Carolina*, while a
large pert of Alabama is covered with snow. Co
lumbus is lying under two Inches of white cover,
and her people are enjoying the first visit of tho
downy fall that they have seen for years.
Augusta and Macon both are favored with the
pickings of the heavenly geese. As the telegrams
indica e this is a very general storm and a
gentlemen who said yesteaday that the whole
United States was under snow waa not far wrong.
Tho sun peeped out at noon, and it was thought
that the snow would melt, bnt (he wind came to
the rescue aud tho thermometer fell like
lead. By night It stood at ten de
grees above Zero, and at eleven o’clock
it had fallen to three degrees above that terrible
point It was supposed by good judges that it.
would be down to zero before zuornlng. It was
a bitter, terrible night, full of suffering in this
city, where so many happy, warm homes were
the rcene of unalloyed joys.

A Snceeasrnl Family—Ohio Judges of
Cincinnati inquirer.
“Some men are born to greatness; others
have greatuess thrust upon them." The
Woods family, of Licking county, are of the
former. Wm. B. Woods, lately appointed
associate judge of the supreme court of the
United States, is not or.ly by birth an
Ohioan, bnt is to the manner cf Ohioans
born. His family were highly :reapeclable
in all its parts—rather aristocratic, and be
longing to the old whig aristocracy. Bat
William, after the old whig party went
down—done to death by the abolitionists—
became a democrat, and in 1857 was elected
to the legislature, and at the January ses
sion following was elected, as the democrat
ic candidate, speaker of the home by a vote
of 58 to 43 given to Nelson H. Van Vorhis.
The next session Mr. Woods was again t
member, btu, the legislature being anti
democratic, he was defeated for speaker by
a vote of 57; cost for Richard C. Parsons, to
42 for William B. Woods.
As speaker of the house, Mr. Woods, in
one sense of the word, was a lailnre, on ac
count ol his limited knowledge of parlia
mtm:ary law. But knowing that the laws
regulating deliberative bodies were like tl e
common law, made up of precedents, which
sometimes varied, he thought he hud aa
good a right as any other man to establish
precedents for his own use, and hence many
of his decisions were at variance with the
sales laid down in Jeffersor/a Manual and
Cashing. Yet, as Mr. Speaker Wood.-,
after making a decision, no matter Low
much it might afterward innre to the injury
of his party, always adhered to it, all parties
were pleased, and he got by this means the
reputation of being a lair presiding officer,
as he always baa that of being a good,
whole-souled, clever gentleman, and hence
was popular. As a lawyer, in Ohio he never
had much reputation, because of his lack of
appreciation, caring more for the society of
his friends than of his law hooks.
At the breaking out of the rebellion a
brother of William B. Woods was made
colonel of a regiment William B. Woods
lieatenant-colonel and a brother-in-law,
William Warner, major. As the war pro
gressed the elder Charles R. Woods was
promoted to general, and William B
Woods succeeded lo the colonelcy of the
regiment, with his brother-in-law, Warner,
as iientecant colonel. Before ibe war closed
both Charles R and William B Woods
were made genera’s, and William Warner
got the same title. The elder of the broth

the Second, and General Oglethorpe on the
battle field, during the war with the pre

ssys that this appointment would be satisfactory,
Pardee Is especially well up in commercial law,

THE COTTOH EXPOSITION.
I met Mr. F. R. Gouldlng, of Boston, a promi
nent cotton manufacturer, who sold that the in
terest in the coming cotton exposition through
out the north was exceptional. Mr. El ward
Atkinson is at work pressing the matter
public attention and thinks
that great advantage mu»t accrue
o the south from the exhibition of the Dedrick
press, which is small, cheap, and perfect It is
within reach of almost every farmer, and packs
cotton in bales of lli pounds as hard ss cherry
wood. These bales can be pecked in the common
bagging that is used for packages in stores. A
English gin that is faster than any ever
known is also a specialty ot Mr. Atkinson, and
will be exhibited at the exposition. Goods and
machinery from England may be looked for. A
great many manufacturers have already engaged
rooms at the Kimball and Markham.
I asked Mr. Gotuding what he thought of the
chance of the south to capture the spindles of the
north? He sold: *
1 think the south will manufacture in the
near future the coarser yarns, etc., but never the
finer goods. In five years I believe that there
will be a great growth of factories for coarser
goods in the south.’*
“ Why not the finer good*r ’
“Because the climate will not permit of it.
Now, you may oak me why. 2 reply that I do
not know, except that It is a fact. Just aa we
cannot make Irish linen In this country. We
haTe sent and got the s*me operators, machinery,
and aU. and yet cannot make thesamegiadeof
Unen as-the Irish. So the south cannot maker the
liner grade of goods that are made in the north.
The experiment has been tried, and was cot suc
cessful?”
Alluding to the profits of southern factories, he
"said: “The Pacific mills, the largest in the world
with a capital of several million and over three
thousand operatives, mokes the best dividend ct
any in this country. Outside of this. I think the
southern factories pay os good or better dividends
than the northern." He further said that the
question os to whether climatic changes consid
ered, water power is as cheap and profitable as
steam power is being largely discussed.

in tb-lr way that most
markable man, McGilrei *
I read and heard vehemently shouted these
last words concluding this speech, and
they always called from tho masses the
wild shout which presaged victory. This
action cf Charlton’f and this Epeech of
Troup’s was Charlton's political funeral.
Jackson denounced him, and with all his
magnificent abilities, he went into obscur
ity as a public man.
Jackson was an Englishman, but was a
most thorough rebel, never hesitating, never
turning back, but true as steel to our cause,
and every man his- judgment approved or
his experience attested. When * Savannah
fell into the hands of the British forces
Jackson and John Milledge escaped, and
ciossing the Savannah river some miles
above the city, made tbeir way to the camp
of a small force of Americans stationed in
South Carolina. They were unknown and
immediately arrested aa spies. They had
no evidence save their own declarations to
establish their identity and summarily;
they were condemned aod sentenced to bo
hanged. The ropes were arouud their necka
and they were being led to the gallows
when, most opportunely, a gentleman ar
rived who knew and saved them; When a
lad, some seventy years ago, I heard an old
Yazo man say tbi* mao’s co ruing was most
unfortunate, tor Jackson richly deserved
the gellovrs The werds were scarcely ont
of his mouth before he was knocked down,
and he was cruelly kicked by every one
near him.
This speech ct Troup enshrined him in
•he hearts of tho people, and most justly.
Unquestionably he was the ablest man
Georgia ever prod need, and it is a blot upon,
he escutcheon of tho state that his grave
remains undistinguished by a monument
to tell where he sHepa.
In his habits he was most simple, in his
...ww negligent in the extreme. Though
reared and always associating with gentle
men, he was as indifferent to etiquette as ho
was careless in habits and dress. When he
retired from public life it was to his
plantation in Laurens county, where
with his slaves, more than five hun
dred in number, whom be always
te-raed his family, he cont inued to li ve until
his death, which was quiet, and without a .
witness. His home was most humble, n
cabin of pine log? Ifis furniture simple
and very plain. There were no ornaments
and the joists overhead wore uncovered and
painted green. He was most attentive to
i.he comforts of his slaves, ami was more a
slave to them than they to him. A pa
triarch amidst the , people, he seemed to
think only of their protection and comfort.
At home his clothes were made from tho
same material as that which clothed his ne
groes. There was neither ostentation, of
wealth or pride of position, but an abufid-
. SE&ssj aljceX.A8LAE • and iln unspotted-

iu mauv thit.gs he was eccentric. It was
in Mil. I bsllens, that the flato of Sccs-
weinier'visi.ed MiliedgvviUe, then the seat
of government for this state. Ho was tho
first nobkr.Vu.n -tire people there had ever
seen, and it was determined to show him
iorne c vilfties' in their way. The legislature
was then in teici m and the duke was in
vited to vldt the body. - Daniel Bfaitefold
it.d Seaborn Jones, aids to Troup, were the
masters of ceremony. BmiUiord had, but
Jones had no* t a uniform, and it wasdccided
hat the aids of tho governor, iquirea to a
kuid dvk-», must escort hint iu uniform.
<\es was a small man, with fin enormous
read, and Ids only chance for a uniform
was to borrow' one from General Thomas
Dawson, Whqwasa much St outer man than
Jones witn a much smaller head. Jones
got into the pants and coat, whio’i
hang like hags about his person,
nut the hat waa vo go; U refused positively
to cover the head of Jones—and he was
compelled" to wear « very plain citizen’s
tint. There was very little ceremony about
thn'duke, who was a blufl^ jdly German,
isiting anew democratic country. He was
very Hoc looking man of fitly years, intel
ligent. and unostentatious, closely observant
ot everybody dad everything, ana evidently
desirous of knowledge, and a correct,
knowledge, of the people of this couutry
and itsinstiiutfons.
Waiving all ceremony with Brailsford
and Jones, who were, as he was informed,
aids of the governor, he went from liis hotel
on foot, to mec iho legislature. .
It had not been deter mi ued what were to
be the ceremonies of the reception. Every
member.proposed he should .be welcomed
with three cheers from the members stand
ing, another that he should be introduced
to the president ami speaker, both of whom
should welcome him with a speech. Finally
it was egreed that as they were republicans,
and despised any and -everything ilka cere
mony, that the duke should ba received
standing, end invited to u chair to witness
the proceedings.
The hour had arrived, and the duke
dressed as a plain gentleman, entered with
Jones aud Brailsford, and was shown to a
chair provided-for him, and tho house pro
ceeded to business. The duke
seemed much interested in scruti
nizing the features and manners
of each member near him, and whoever
addressed thekhair. In his book he a!ludes
to this visit, and remarks "“tbit each mem

by a remarkable individuality, all attesting

OEOBUIA EXICRATIOX TO TXX VS
Captain Fanlkner, who is agent cf the most
important Texas railroad, and who has had
charge cf the immigration business, says that the
emigration from Georgia to Texas has greatly de
creased—for the last three months it bos averaged
he thinks 400 to JW a month, bnt for tbe year
throngh it wonld hardly go over 103 a month. A
few years ago It was ten times this much. Ee
thinks Georgians are much better satisfied and
more prosperous than they have been since he
has had anything to do with emigration.
He says that Texas is filling up quite an rapidly

twice ss many people are carried into the state b7

steady ingoing tide. The census shows that the
increiseia population for the past ten years has
been 90 per cent, and if the present apportion
ment obtains, Texas will have 11 instead of#
congressmen. The railroads are largely responsi
ble for this immigration. They owned vast tracts
of land which it waa important to settle up,
and they have sent agents all over Europe.

the Alabamas, Whose father was a Scotch
man and who educated his son at Edin-

young, ardently bated the Americana and
with zeal united with the British. At the
time of meeting Troup he resided near
where now Is the town of Weturapka,
which means falling or tumbling water.
He invited Troup to come and find a home
and sfcuriw with him. He had not adoubt
but that he* was an emissary of Britain, sent
to incite the Spaniards and Indians to unite
with England and assist in patting down
the rebellion. Troup vacilated and by the
advice of his wifc left Pensacola
and went to Mobile—thee a part
of west Florida. From Mobile
he proepeeled the country above upon the
river, and finally deform?ned to locate upon
blnff on ihe Tombigbae river, which in
compliment to his wife he named McIn
tosh's bluff, which name it bcira to day.
There, George Michael Troup was bora.
When the war Cessed, with the capture of
the British army under the command of
Lord Cornwallis, at YorktoWn, Virginia,
Troup broke up his establishment at McIn
tosh’s bluff and returned to Glynn county,
Georgia.
In early boyhood, Governor Troup was
placed under the charge of a Catholic priest,
for instruction in Savannah Very frequent
ly I have heard him say, that his teaching
was most thorough/and consequently he
was, when yet very young, qualified under
a high school, then taught at Flatbuab, on
Long Island, New York. This school was
celebratedJor giving a most tooroaghedu-
caticn and well it deserved it. When
Governor Troup ontered this school, he
found that he made the number of pupite
twenty two. They were from seventeen
states. In subsequent life, nineteen of these
met as members of the same congress. Per
haps, a similar instance never did, and
never will occur again.
When his education was completed li?
was yet a youth, not having attained Jiis
majority. He went to Sivannah to read
law. There he found many young men of
talent with whom he was associated; one,
a man remarkable for abilities, and only a
year liis senior, Thomas Upton Pulaski
Charlton.
It was then that James Jackson, whose
portrait hangs in the gallery of the hall of
representatms of the state house in Atlan
ta, was preaching a crusade against tin
nankeen crape pantaloons, &i!k socks, ftua
a coarse osnaburj;s round coat or jacket,
and was reading Akenside’s poems. When
introduced to the duke he bowed hia head,
but did not remove' his hat, and requested
the duke to be seated. All this while tho
duke had been standing, bat-in hand. As
suming a seat, he placed his hat upon the
floor, but observing the governor remained
with his hat on, with a slight movement of
irritation or disgust, he snatched up his hat
and rather roughly placed it on his head.
A few words only passed between the two
great men, when the duke rosa with the
evident intention of bringing the interview
to an end, when the governor said:
•‘Brailsford, there is some good brandy
In * that case,” pointing to a small
closet, “perhaps his excellency will refresh
hiti.self with a glass after the fatigue of
walking.” The brandy and glasses were
placed on a tattle, and the governor, in his
stocking feet, rose and joined the duke and
his .aids in a drink, wheil the duke, with
out touching his hat, bowed himself from
the rv&om. He had tho good ta9te uot to
a.ludetothc non-observnnce of the usual
etiquette on the part of the governor, or to
mention it in liis book.
B As an orator, Governor Troup had but
few equals. His manner was most grace
ful, his gestures appropriate and easy—hia
matters always cogent and conclusive. He
never spoke long, never said a word which
should not have been Raid, and never re
pressed one which was nectary to express
his convictions or elucidate hia subject.
He was tue petaonificatipn of truth and
sincerity. Never affected what he did not
feel—never broke a promise, or even a word
or action to deceive—was deeply and widely
read, and knew the human heart as he did
