The Cemliic Political laaue.
There is a small sized daily journal published
in Hie city of New York, with Republican pro
clivities, yclept the "New York - Sun," which
often presents sensible views on matters per
taining either to commerce, politics, or morals,
notwithstanding these proclivities. Recently,
that "Sun" has been expendingdts light and heat
upon the “coming political issue,” the only live
one nme licing, as it states, the question of South
ern restoration. The new issue it predicts will
come before long, and of its nature and charac
ter it thus enlightens its readers :
“ It will have reference to pecuniary and busi
ness interests, and the division will lie between
I lit* manufacturing districts of the Eastern
States, on one side, and the producing districts
of the West and South on the other side. Ac
cording to our present laws for the government
of trade, the interest of the producing and man
ufacturing districts are so directly at variance,
that a |x»fitical issue upon that difference cannot
long be avoided. Many years ago, this conflict
of interest between manufacturers and producers
was list'd as a political issue; but in those times
the country was not groaning under a heavy
debt, taxes were comparatively light, duties ou
imports were lower, and the subject finally be
came stale and ceased to furnish the necessary
excitement for a political issue. At the present
time the case is different. The public debt weighs
heavily upon the people, and naturally causes
them to examine closely every feature of their
This examination discloses these facts
The Star Law.
This law, which has become so over the Gov
ernor's veto, is intended, according to the title of
the act, as a measure of relief to the people of
Georgia and “to prevent the levy and sale of
property under certain circumstances and within
a limited jieriod.” The preamble to the sections
embraced in the law, as declaratory of the follow
ing facts, to-wit: that “during the late war the
State of Georgia lias been overrun by the oppo
sing armies; the accumulated crops and agricul
tural stock in a great measure destroyed; the
Confederate indebtedness held by the people in
exchange for tlicir products lias become useless;
the obligations of the State, eagerly sought after
as a safe investment, have been repudiated ;
load.
Manufacturers are getting rich with marvellous
rapidity, ami llic corporate companies are all de
claring immense dividends. On the other hand,
the producers of the West arc bitterly complaining
of the high prices that they are obliged to pay
l»>r commodities, and the low price that they gui
for farm products. For example, corn is worth
only litlocn cents per bushel in Illinois, and it
consequently takes fifty bushels of corn to buv a
pair of coarse bools. The cause of this differ
ence in prosperity between manufacturers and
producers is clearly apparent The high tariff
iq ton imports shuts out the competition of foreign
manufactures. By this means the manufacturing
interests in the Eastern States have a monopoly;
they can cluirgc such prices as they like, and
while lucky stockholders complacently count
their fat dividends, consumers iu the producing
regions are obliged to pay enormous prices as a
consequence of this monopoly. There is no dis
crimination of law iu.favpr of home producers.
In (act there could he none, for the reason that
our staple products cau be raised more cheaply
in this country than they could be imported un
der any circtmistuuccs. Slavery, secession and
restoration have iu turn furnished the pabulum
of our political parties, but there is no doubt that
a new issue upon the merits of free trade pro
tection will sisin occupy the political field.”
There is no doubt much truth in the foregoing
views of the metropolitan "Sun." One need
neither be a prophet nor the sou of a prophet, to
foresee and foretell, that, the question of restora
tion of the Southern States being settled, be
tween the producers, or farming interests of the
great West, and the manufacturing interests of
the North and East, a political conflict will take
place, perhaps more animated, heated, and bit
ter, than its predecessor in 1832 on the high tariff
system, when the South had to contend against
the whole North. The people of the West
now begin to see that the protective tariff system
enriches only the manufacturer. It does so, too, at
the expense of the great agricultural interests of
the West, granting to the latter uo equivalent iu
either exchange of products, or In trade. With
the producers of the West, it is low prices for
grain, aud high prices for manufactured com
modities. With the manufacturers ot the East
aud North, it is a guaranty tor heavy dividends
and extension of a monopoly now already huge
iu its dimensions, threatening to control in all tu-
ture time, Congress and the country. The con
test then, iu this coining political issue will doubt
less be a fierce one. It cannot be delayed longer
than when the question of restoration shall be
decided. The cupidity and arrogauce of lordly
manufacturers ou the one hand, and the interests
of the agriculturist ou the other, will prevent this.
Whether we of the South will participate in the
struggle or uot, remains to be seen. Patiently we
bide the part we shall have to play, if any be as
signed to us iu “the coming 'political issue.”
From Washington, we lcaru by dispatches
to the Associated Press, that the Committee of
Ways and Means have agreed to report it very
considerable reduction of the internal revenue
taxation, and especially to repeal the six cents
per ton now levied ou freights.
Washington, March 11.—The British Minis
ter has been assured by the Government that no
violation of the neutrality laws by the Fenians
will be permitted.
The Canadians are apprehensive aud greatly
alarmed about an invasion.
The Senate has confirmed all tire nominations
of the President, except Geo. Mackey for Collec
tor of the Customs at Charleston, and Geo. S.
Bryan, of Charleston, for District Judge of the
United States, for the District of South Carolina.
Newt Yoke, March 12.—Cotton is lirm and
advanced one cent. Sales to-day, 1,800 bales,
at 41 cents to 42 cents. Gold, 1304.
Hon. Joshua Him..—The reader will lind a
reply from this gentleman, addressed to certain
members of our State Legislature, which we have
had ou hand for several days, the writer having
transmitted to us a pamphlet copy of the -same,
but which, owing to the crowded state of our
columns, we could not publish until to-day. The
request made by Mr. Hill, that the papers which
published the address of the members of the
Legislature on the Senatorial election, would
publish his “reply,” we comply with, trusting
that this will be the end of a controversy which
the parties on both sides cannot fail to perceive
will be productive of no public good. At least
this is our impression, and we shall, tlieretore,
indulge uo more in comments upon the issues be
tween them.
Hon. John Van Bchen addressed a large
meeting of Democrats at Bridgeport, Connecti
cut, on Wednesday evening. He stated in clear
and unmistakable terms the grounds of antago^
uistn between the President mid Congress, and
showed clearly that the duty of every patriotic
man was to stand by the President.
The Boston Journal says that several enterpri
sing business men from New England are buying
f or hiring plantations in South Carolina, and that
they lind the Southern planters very kindly dis-
jxised toward such emigration. The Charleston
o uner mentions the fact that a large number of
Northern capitalists had of late been purchasing
saw-mills and saw-ntill sites in various parts of
the South.
General N. B. Forrest.—From a Memphis
special to the Louisville Courier, we learn that
the case of General N. B. Forrest was called up
in the United States Court ou the 7th. His coun
sel asked for a continuance on the ground that
General Forrest is now sick with the small pox.
Granted.
The Columbus cotton market is vciy dull, and
middling’s only command from 29 to 30 cents,
says the Sun.
accumulated capital of nearly a century, amon
ing to nearly three hundred millions of dollars,
has been destroyed; and the prospects of success
ful agriculture, the basis of aft value, now de
pendent on the voluntary labor of the freedmen
is a question of doubt and experiment.” And
because thereof the General Assembly have en
acted, first, “that there shall be no levy or sale
of property of defendants in this State, unde
any execution founded on any judgment, ortler
or decree of any court heretofore or hereafter to
be rendered upon any contractor liability made
or incurred prior to the 1st of June, 1805 • Pro
vided, tiie said defendant shall pay or cause to be
paid, during each year, one-fourth part of the
amount of principal and interest of such execu
tion, or of the debt or claim on which such exe
cution has been or may hereafter lie obtained, so
that the entire indebtedness shall be paid in four
years from the 1st January, 1866, the first in
stallment to be paid by the 1st January, 1807,
and the fourth and last by 1st January, 1870.”
Second—“That this act shall uot apply to exe
cutions for costs, nor to rules against officers for
money, nor to any process issued against persons
holding money, or effects as bailees, nor to cases
where plaintiffs shall make oath that defendants
have absconded, are absconding, or have remov
ed, or are removing their j#operty, or fraudulent
ly conveying, secreting, or concealing the same,
to avoid the payment of their just debts, nor to
orders for alimony and fines for neglect of road
duty, or processes issued by Ordinaries for the
support of widows and orplians.”
Third—“That all statutes of limitations relat
ing to liens affected by this act shall be suspend
ed during the continuance of the act.” ‘
Forth—“That any officer or other person vio
lating this act, shall be guilty, of trespass and
liable to the defendant in damages, not less than
the amount of the judgment, order or decree,
upon which lie is proceeding, ns in other cases of
trespass.”
Fifth—“That any security upon any debt or
demand for which executions may have been or
may be issued during the continuance of this act,
shall have the right, with or without the consent
of the plaintiff, to cause a levy and sale to be
made, whenever tho security shall make .oath
that the principal defendant has brought himself
within the provisions of the 2d section of this
act.”
Sixth—“That whenever any plaintiff or secur
ity shall attempt to have an execution levied for
any of the causes stated in the 2d section, the
defendant may stay the said execution by filing
with the levying officer iiis affidavit, denying the
existence of said cause, and iu giving bond and
security in double the amount of the execution,
conditioned to pay the plaintiff the amount due
on said execution during the four years, as here
tofore provided for in other cases, and where the
defendant is unable to give security, he may
make his affidavit of inability, as provided for
iu cases of appeal in Section 3543 of the Code of
Georgia.”
Seventh—“That all laws and parts of laws mil
itating against this act are hereby repealed.”
Such arc the provisions of this proposed mea
sure of relief to the people, which, upon constitu
tional grounds the Governor vetoed. IIow far it
will prove to be a measure of relief to the debtor
class of our State, remains to be seen. That they
are entitled to relief of some kind, no one will
deny ; but the proposed measure may not give it
to them as the courts may agree with the Govern
or and pronounce the law unconstitutional. Our
advice to the debtor class of our people is not by
any means to rely upon this law to save their
property from levy and sale, where executions
have been obtained against them, but to compro
mise with the holders thereof, wherever this may
be possible. We feel confident that appeals
made by honest debtors to their creditors for
time, under the distressed state of the country,
will be listened to and heeded in nine cases out
of ten. Compromises thus made, will extend
confidence, give greater relief, and establish
friendly relations between the two classes, debt
or and creditor. This will be far better than a
resort to the “Stay Law,” which as a measure of
relief, we think, a very precautions one.
Thad. Stevens.—This arch humbug of mod
em statesmanship seems to find no quarter from
friend or foe. The Freeman's Journal speaks of
him as if from familiarity with his history and
habits, and says: “The leading figure iu this
Congress is that bad old man, Thaddeus Stevens-
This moral, social and political leper, whom it is
a disgrace to a Pennsylvania county not to have
indicted as a public nuisance—as would have
happened had he been a poor man; having emi
grated from New England, and by cunning and
assiduous dexterity climbed into wealth, exhibits,
now, in the present degraded Rump Cougress )
the same elements of character in shaping the
action of that body. This vile person, as every
honest man knows he is, it he has the misfortun e
of knowing him in any relation of life, seems to
rule the unhappy Congress as he wills. It is one
of the threatened aud most severe punishment
thatja just God inflicts on|a dissolute and impious
people, to put them uuder the heels of the basest,
vilest, most grovelling, and everyway contempt
ible wretches, that wear the human form.”
The Nashville Banner prolesses to have in

Washington that the President will not approve
the joint resolution admitting Tennessee on the

The whole scheme, says its informant is regard
ed as a trap to catch the President It was de
vised by Maynard, whose hand is particularly
discernable in the clause which forbids the elec
tion of any but “ loyal ” men to office.
Gen. W. W. Wood, formerly of the Southern
army, is lecturing throughout Mississippi, on the
subject of emigration to Brazil. Major Hast
ings, who started from Mobile in December last,
with a colony of emigrants, and was shipwreck
ed off Cuba, is not to be discouraged. Tic set
sail on the 1st inst., from Mobile with another
coin pan}* in the steamer Margaret.
The Macon Telegraph says that a company of
gentlemen are seriously considering the building
of an opera house in that city on a scale that will
be an honor to the place. It is estimated that
$60,000 will cover the cost of a building that
will seat 1,500 people comfortably.
Dispatches from Canada state that the Gov
ernment call for one hundred thousand volun

or four times as many could be had on a day’s
notice.

A ladt correspondent of the London Guar
dian, writing from Paris, (15th,) gives the follow
ing pleasant photograph of Madame Drouyn De
1’Huya’ great ball the evening previous:
Nearly three thousand persons were present,
and notwithstanding the spacious and handsome
suit of rooms appropriated to such official recep
tions, the crush was very great. The Emperor
and Empress were both present, though masked
and in dominoes, as were the Prince and Princess
of Holienzollem. The hostess herself wore a
Pompadour toilet of great richness and elegance,
and was literally covered with diamonds. In
the course of the evening a Chinese procession
passed, through the saloons, preceded by the sound
of tam-tams, and conveying on a gorgeous car
the Empress of China, represented by Madame
Goldsmith, an English lady, magnificently at
tired. One of the chief attractions of this page
ant consisted in the car being the original one in
which the Baron Gros made his public entry into
the capital of the Chinese Empire, after the tak
ing of Pekin. The accoutrements, dresses, ,«fcc.,
were all splendid, and consisted mostly of origin
al trophies of the French arms, brought over af
ter the expedition. The most splendid toilei of
the night was that of Madame Korsakoff, the
Russian lady already spoken of above, who re
ceived direct from Petersburg a costeune exactly
copied from that worn by the great Catherine of
Russia on the day of her coronation. A robe
and train of green velvet of several yards in di
mensions were richly embroidered with silver,
the body and lower part of the skirt being
trimmed with the richest and most precious Rus
sian sable. A sort of head-dress of the same fur
was literally one mass of diamonds, emeralds, and
enormous pearls, and from this descended a long
vail reaching to the ground, and flowing over the
dress. The girdle, composed of large emeralds
and diamonds, is estimated to be of enormous
value, and, in fact, the oast of the whole is said
to exceed 2,000,000 trance, £80,000 sterling! No
dress in the salons could compete with this dis
play ; aud yet the richness of the toilets, and the
amount, of diamonds and precious stones, ex
ceeded every thing seen on previous occasions!—
Such is the importance nowadays attached to
these sorts of amusements and the rivalry excited
by them. Madame de Mettemich, the countess
de Pourtates, and several other fashionables ap
peared in simple dominoes.

he has won the appellation of “States)attorney'
in the Senate. ?
One of his most cogent and forcible irgumtnts
was made in the' Senate.against the bill for the
relief, of persons who committed crious during
the war. Indeed, this speech ha£ been pro
nounced the best speech of the s^ssimi. In the
beginning of the coptest which resulied in the
late sanguinary war, he foresaw the. impending
ruin and raised‘his voicetp quell theStorm, biff

aggrieved and was entitled to redress, but like
the great Stephens, he thought the-' action of
Georgia premature and uncalled for; and now

advocate of harmony and reconciliation. .
Mr. Quillian is about fifty years old,andfetall,

the State Legislature. ;;l
HON. JOHN OATES. - •
Among the members of the House fioniChcro-
kee-Georgia, the Hon. John Oates, of foe county
of Murray, is one of the most prominent. He
speaks but seldom, but when he does, he is ‘sure
to say something. He makes no pretensions to
oratory, and really thinks he is no orator; but
one of the most eloquent strains uttered: in the
hall of the House of Representatives during this
session was his withering rebuke administered
to the opponents of the bill for the-relief of the
destitute poor of the State. He is one of the
most conSbifencious men in the House, pi ways
open to conviction^ and never yielding to party
or sectional prejudices. He is -decidedly an “ear
nest man” and whenever a question arises in
which the interest of the people is involved, he
enters into it with his whole soul. He is the ad
vocate of the distressed, no matter whether they
be the widow or the orphan , the-high or the low.
He asks for bread for the suffering poor, and he
voted to relieve the banks from their present
embarrassed condition. Without making any
great display for “buncomb” he has perhaps as
many warm friends in the House as any man m it
By profession, Cap! John Oates is a lawyer,
and like most members- of that fraternity is a
solid, genial gentleman, equally admired for his
modest}', sincerity and goodness of heart. There
is no new member who has made more friends
or who can show a better record as a legislator
than Capt. Oates.
HON. PETER STROZIER, OF-THE J0TII DISTRICT.
This is by far the ablest Senator in the Senate
of Georgia. He is about 55 years of age—is a
native of Wilkes county, but has, for a long time,
lived in Southwestern Georgia, where he has en
joyed. a lucrative practice as a lawyer iu his ju
dicial circuit. He is the author of the “ Home
stead Bill,” and opposed the “Stay Law” oil
the ground of its unconstitutionality. He is fa
miliar with the Constitution, and his legal opin
ions receive mote respect than any member of
the Senate. This is the first time, I believe, that
he has been in the Senate, but his constituency
would do well to return him, as he watches tlieir
interest and that of the whole State closely, and
does wlmt he thinks is right, Under the Constitu
tion, independent of motives of policy. In man
ner, especially when speaking, he resembles the
late Frank Cone, who was known as the ablest
lawyer in Georgia.
Such bold and independent men as Mr. Stro-
zier should compose the Senate of Georgia.
MAJOR WM. A. TURNER.
Major W. A. Turner, who temporarily occu
pies -the President’s chair this morning—an oc
currence by no means unusual, as Colonel Gibson
appreciates the intelligence and moral integrity
of-this young Senator, who represents' Campbell,
Meriwether and, Coweta. -Tis consoling to wit
ness the .political success of such an upright,
Christian gentleman, who would disdain to stoop
to petty chicanery, wine-bibbing, whisky-drink
ing, >or any plan .which the most scrupulous con
science could oppose, in order to win an election
or to accomplish any other desired object.
He is a son of the well-known “lather in Isra
el,” Rev. Allen Turner, the superannuated octo
genarian Methodist minister; was graduated at
Emory College; taught school with distinguished
popularity and. .success, in Palmetto, Georgia,
for several years; buckled on hfeawoid in defense
of outraged justice; gallantly did his duty in
every capacity from private up to scar-honored
major, and now wears the toga of a Senator
with becoming diffidence. “Uncle Allen,” as
his college mates ycleped the jolly, boon com
panion, was raised after the straightest sect, not
of the Pharisees, but.-of the Methodists; has
nothing of the long-faced Puritan about him,; is
proverbially cheerful, acting like good medicine
on the subjects of melancholy with whom he
may be thrown, for a song or merry word is on
his lip when he jumps from couch in the early
more, and abandons him not during the hoars of
the. day; still thinks he Is doing God-service not
to love a certain tribe of wooden nutmeg and
blue-coated notoriety, and is altogether that
“ Justvm et tenaceni proposi ti rirum" of whom
Rofoc’s classic, heney-tongued bard, Horace, so
sweetly sung.
-The-^hysical man is about medium size, small
yet compactly built, five feet nine, strongly de
fined features, high cheek bones, prominent
character-expressing nose—for a great man never
had a.little, puny nose—blue eyes, dark hair,
black beard; nearly hiding his agreeable face, a
delicate, weather-worn mustache, very tidy in
his dress, and sports a beautiful gold-headed cane
—the gift .of a dear friend—and has a heart brim
full of the “milk of human kindness,” and lives
for the promotion of life Mends’ happiness, and
thereby bis! own—and above all, fears hfe God
and attempts to obey Hfe commandments. He
is a law student, intends to put up his shingle at
NewnaJj, Georgia, and every reader of this hasty
sketch can rest assured that business can be safe
ly confided, to such a man; one wlio is universally
loved by those intimately acquainted with his
rare virtues, not the least of which is laudable
devotion to his aged parents, whom he delights
to support, honor and obey.

are patient, sind have a judicious appreciation of
the necessity and wisdom of abiding the success

, ! ' A. WomterfW Story. ' ' '
The New Hampton, Iowa, Courier, makes the
following relation of a father mid daughter being
lost on a prarie during the storm of Tuesday ana
Wednesday of last week :
“On Tuesday afternoop, the 13tli instant Mr.
E. T! Runnion, of this town, visited Jacksonville,
eight miles distant, on business, and on returning,
called at the residence of W. E. Beach, one mile
this side, to see hisihiughtt^f.'MVS: P.'B. WCeft.—
Alter supper, Mrs. W: resolved to accompany her
father home, and hastily clad herself for the pur
pose. . Leaving.. Mr. Weed in the house, the
lather and, daugher proceeded to where the
horses wdre tied, and found them gone, but yet
in sight Pursuing the team for' some distance,
and finding: it impossible to overtake it, Mr. Bun-t
nion implored hfe daughter to return home, while
hq would make hfe way honte alone. This foe
would not consent to do unless he should accom
pany her and remain for the night This was
between seven qnd eight o’clock. The weather
was then comparatively mild. They, pursued
their journey for a time without difficulty, hot
the night being quite dark and the snow having
obliterated the track, they lost the road. Both
were conscious that they were lost, vet neither
breathed it to the other, during foe long hours
from the departure from Mr. Beach’s house until
12 o’clock. The storm which had been gathering
now burst forth in fearful fury; Benumbed, feet
upon the trackless waste, their steps followed by
a pack of prairie wolves, whose quick sharp hark
frequbntlyrose above the howling wind, each was
conscious of their peril, yet encouraged the other.
At last, exhausted nature could do no mom, both
were .tired out, aud lay do,wu beneath a ftrift of
snow to wafeh for daylight. Mrs. Weed, wore a
beaver hood, a scarf abofft her neck, a shawl,
aixd blanket Which foe had thrown on her arm
when leaving foe /house. n*.: >.
The dawn came, and with it .foe fujy of foe
storm increased. Mr! Runnion knew himself to
be pn Plum creek, and fesolved to strike for the
nearest house, some two miles distant, but 1 Mr*.
Weed was so. chilled that : she could not walk,
MR. JOHNSON S POLICY.
Last night a Congressional delegation of the
supporters of the President waited upon him. at
the White House and discussed the anticipated
report of the Reconstruction Committee on foe
admission of Tennessee. It fe definitely under
stood that Mr. Johnson advised that, any Report
which attempted, under oover of an ambiguous
preamble or by other assertion that Tennessee’s
right to a restoration of her Constitutional func
tions in the Government rested in the decision of
the law-making power should lie promptly com
batted by all adherents to his policy^
GOSSIP ABOUT THE NEW TENNESSEE BILL.
In the hotels the Tennessee bill is the great
subject of agitation and talk. The prevailing
opinion fe that it was merely a trap designed to
put the President in the position of refusing to
admit his own State, bnt as the bill went on to
declare that Tennessee was now a State, people
say then it was not a State before, and by signing
it the President would sign away his own citi
zenship and write himself an alien President.
THE CASE OF RAPHAEL SEMMBS.
It is reported on the street to-day that the Gov
ernment has decided not to bring Raphael
Semmes, ot the Confederate steamer Alabama,
to trial, having come to the conclusion that hfe
parole under foe surrender of Johnston to Sher
man was valid. Should this be foe case, he will
probably be speedily released.
The Science of House-Keeping.—The other
day, several ladies warned a certain editor that
his journal was not satisfactory to them on ac
count of foe absence of “useful hints,” “receipts,”
etc. Where upon foe recreant journalist endea
vored to satisfy foe complaining ladies, and
among others, submitted the following hints:
Always mend clothes before washing.
Whip your children every day before dinner.
‘Twill give yon a good appetite and pat a heal
thy glow upon their complexion.
Vinegar fe good to set colors of red, green or
yellow; therefore, if you have clothes of this
color and wish to preserve their hue—pickle
them.
Use paregoric sparingly—it costs a good deal
and tastes well—consequently children often have
foe green apple ache
Count your clothes pins, spoons, towels, forks,
handkerchiefs, &c., every month—once.
Milk is good for crying babies—cow’s will do
if no other can be obtained.
and after being carried some thirty or forty: rods
she begged her father to . leave her and s$ek as
sistance. They sat down atid calmly talked frfr
matter over, she freezing all the while!' To leave
his child thus was a bitter thought: Knowing
that she must perish unless succor came, he
sought a place to Teave her; breaking the ice as
he supposed of a little bayou, from which the
water had receded, and making a cavity of some
twp feet in depth and sufficient length,.he laid
her in it, wrapped foe blanket and shawl around
her and the scarf about her fake. They kissed
and parted. Then covering: her with snow,
marking the spot with willow twigs as best he
ooqld, he made his way to the house of Mr. Ut
ley; about a mile from town.nirivihg there near
8 o'clock, a. m., (Wednesday), exhausted, with
bands and face frozen, and nearly frantic. His
stofy was soon told; and, although the storm
Was raging fearfully, and foe hope of finding foe
poor girl, some three miles distant on the bleak
prairie, seemed like hoping against hope, a- team
was harnessed, and Mr. Gilbert Vincent and Mr.
k. M. Utley, with Mr. Runnion; started for jfoe
rescue. Finding the place where foe party- had
lain beneath the drift during foe tfighty they
search in yam. until about 3-p. m., passing almost
directly .over foe spot where she lay. Finding
foe serch vain, and Mr. Runnion fast fainting
from exposure and exhaustion, with heavy hearts-
the _party returned at evening. Mr. Runnipn was
taken to the house of Mr. Utley, where both Mr!
and Mrs. Utley were assiduous in administering
to his comfort. *
Thursday morning the storm had abated; foe
sun: shone clear and bright over the driven snow;
foe mercury had fallen from 14 foe day before to
28 below zero,. Mr. Runnion was brought home
by-Mr. Utley, and bis fearful story flew from
house to house; braye hearts and willing hearts
were not wanting. Several sleigh loads of men,
accompanied, by Dr. Mixer—who was-careful to
k*vfc restoratives—ivefe swiftly on the search.—
The party reached foe supposed locality where
Mrs: Weed was left by her father, and the search
commenced. Passing on either side of the creek,
noting every track and mark and twig—with
only foe vague certainty that they might be near
her, they persevered, guided alone by such in
structions as Mr. Runnion in his enfeebled and
bewildered state was able to give. At about 11
o’clock, one of the party, stepping directly over,
fall through foe snow into foe cavity where she
lay. She was found land—alive! A. joyous
shoot rang : out;—overcoats and shawls were
spread upon the snow, shovels procured, from a
sleigh, and she was raised, insensible, from foe
snowy bed,, where she had lain for thirty hours!
Placed in a sleigh, the party drove with all speed
to the nearest house—that of Mr. Jolly—where
foe skill and unremitting efforts of Dr. Mixer
were crowned with success.
We found that she had moved but little from
where her father had placed her. The ice upon
which she had been laid had melted from her
bodily heat, and when found she lay in foe bed
of foe creek, nearly every part of her clothing
being saturated with water. Her feet were
doubtless frozen in the morning before her father
left her, and to the proyidential fact of their com
ing in contact with the water may be ascribed,
not merely the safety of her limbs, but the pre
servation of her life!
Mrs. Weed was conscious while in her snowy
prison house of day and night; heard the bleak
winds as they inoaned above her, her greatest
ear being lest her father had perished ; but hope
lever once forsook her; she-heard her rescuers
tramping above and around her, but was too
weak to apprise them of her whereabouts, and
When found had been.usiDg all her remaining
strength in- endeavoring to dig to foe snrface, and
had succeeded in removing the snow several
inches from beqeath foe spot upon which the
person finding her had providentially stepped.
Mrs. Weed lias been married but a few weeks.
Her miraculous escape from death, and her pres
ent unhappy condition, have caused a most pro
found sympathy in her behalf.
From the Indianapolis Herald, 7th.
‘ragedy in Bedford—Sednetlon and Mur
der— Madison Evans Killed In tbe Street.
A gentleman just from Bedford has furnished
us with the particulars of a fearful tragedy which
was enacted in that town last Monday night, re
sulting in the death of Prof. J. Madison Evans,
by violence, at the hands of Dr. Ben Newland.
The cause which impelled Dr. Newland to im
brue his hands in a fellow-creature’s blood is
said to have been the reduction of hfe -daughter
bv'Evans. Miss Newland, we learn, has been at
boarding school for some time, and her unfor
tunate condition becoming apparent to the Prin
cipal, she was sent borne, arriving at Bedford on
Monday, where she confessed to her father and
Announced Evans as the man who had effected
her ruin. It is said that Evans accomplished tlie
seduction of the girl some years ago, when she
was quite young and going to school to him, and
has been intimate with her ever- ; since, the inti
macy finally resulting in the girl’s becoming en-
cienle, her dismissal from the boarding school
she was attending, and confessing to her father
as before stated. Uppn learning foe foul dis
honor brought upon his child, Dr. Newland,
frenzied with rage and shame, armed himself
with a revolver and a long, sharp knife, such as
surgeons use in amputating, and started forth to
seek the guilty wretch. He went to Evan’s house,
but found him absent. The Doctor told Mrs.
Evans foe circumstances, and that he had come
to kill her husband, and would kill him as soon
as he could find him. Passing up foe street lie
met Evans, and as soon as he was satisfied in
regard to his identity, shot him down, the ball
taking effect in hfe body. Evans fell to foe earth,
and began imploring Newland to spare him.—
Newland advanced to where he was lying,
plunged the.long knife into his neck, and nearly
severed the head from his body. He then stab
bed him repeatedly in different parts of hfe person,
and did not desist until it was evident that the
spirit of the wretched man had taken its flight.
The above fe the stoty as we heard it. There
may be some trifling inaccuracies, but we are
assured that, in foe main, it is a correct version
of the terrible affair.
Professor Evans was a minister of the Chris
tian Chnrch, who at one timeenjoyed a position
of considerable eminence. He was once a pro
fessor in the Northwestern Christian University
of this city, and was the author of a popular
work called “The Pioneer Preachers of Indiana.”
He is foe same person who, some weeks ago,
was detected in flagrante delicto with another
man’s wife at a hotel in Greencastle.
The most intense excitement prevails at Bed
ford in regard to the horrible affair. Up to the
time our informant left no attempt bail been
made to arrest Newland.
Whatever faults Voltaire may have had, he
certainly showed himself a man of sense when
he said, “The more married men yon have, foe
fewer crimes there will be. Marriage renders a
man more virtuous and more wise.
Some wag, who ought to be condemned to
read tbe speeches of Sumner and Stevens from
beginning to end, lately sent to tlie President a
copy of a medicinal placard, lettered, “Shattered
Constitutions restored. Use Helmbold’s Bucliu.”
The barbarian wrote in pencil on the margin,
“Try it, Andy, on the present Constitution.”

A BURGLAR. IN COURT.
In February, 1,865, a jeweler’s safe was broken
open in London by a daring and ingenious band
ot burglars, and aDbiit eighteen thousand dollars’
worth of watches and Jewelry stolen. Lately
the jeweler brought a suit against foe manufac
turer of foe side, who, be claimed, ought to make
good his losses, as the safe was sold with a ver
bal warranty that it was “burglar-proof.”
On-the trail of- Caseley, the elieif of the bur
glars Who commuted foe robbery, he was brought
from prison into court, and gave a. most curious
account of foe manner in which safes are broken
often' by thieves.
Walker, foe -jeweler, locked up his shop on
fojturday night It was then left, untenanted for
foe next , six-and-foirty hours, but foe gas was
kept alight, the shutters were pierced with holes
so that foe police could s£e into foe shop at all
times, and the most valuable part of the stock
wqs lodged in an iron safe; believed to be thief-
proof.. Caseley’s testimony showed that foe rob-
beryhadbCen elaborately schemed, and was ac-
coinplfehed by a regular expedition of well-
equipped thieves. Caseley, the cleverest of foe
g had to|tqn .Mr. Walker, hfe family, hfe
,—3, and his doings, under foe closest surveil
lance for seyen weeks befote; night and day, until
at laat everyfoibg connectedwith his going and
coming, his business and bis practice, was tho
roughly known. This information being com
plete, a party of five robbers repaired to the pre
mises at ten minutes past six oh the evening Of
Saturday, the 4fo of February, 1866:
, The house was let and occupied in floors, Mr.
Walker’s shop being ou the ground floor,, Sir
Charles Qrosley’s offices immediately above, and
other offices above those, while below Mr. Wal
ker’s shop was- a room tenanted by a tailor. The
1 qeoupaifts, when the thieves arrived on the spot,
,h(t«l not yet all left for the night, but the offices
on jfoe Second floor are empty, and these three
1 of the robbars at once ascended by means of foe
codunon staircase, and there took up their first
position, foe other two remaining in the street, to
watch and give signals. At twenty minutes to
eight thft signal given by the confederates offt-
sidethatMr. Walker’s foreman, who appears -to
have been the last .on! foe premises, was gone,
and foeir operations ; w^i e at once commenced.
The three rqbbera concealed, in the house first
wept down to Sir Citaries CrbSleiy’s floor, where,
mote for pastime, ns'it&ems, than anything else,
their opened the safe.— The chief object of the
expedition was still postponed,ihOr. was it until
past midnight that they began foe work. Mr.
Wallker’s shop pppears to have been secured, by
iron doors or partitions. But the thieves directed
their attack against a part which had not unna
turally been left' wifo less protection. They got
into foe tailor's room on the lowest floor, mount
ed upon his cutting-board, and then forced their
waj through, foe ceiliiig and flooring into Mr.
Walker’s shop above. Having thus effected a lodg
ment against the real point.of attack, they distn-.
bated foe duties of the night. Of foe two thieves
stationed in foe street, one was to be on foe
watch lest Mr. Walker, or any of his people
shoftld retum to tlie house, while the other was
to keep guard, over foe police, and give warning .
whenever any constable approached the shop.—
T — 1 :e, one of the gang sat upstairs in Sir Charles
ley’s arm-chair, at the window of the second
floor, to correspond with foe sentries in the street,
andjthe signals of these men he communicated
by means of a string to his comrades below.—
Oflft of these, placed in foe hole half-way between
foe phop and the tailor’s, handed up such instru
ments as were for use; the other “did the work,”
and ! it is he, : now; a convict undergoing hfe sen-
tenoe of penal servitude, who tells the story.
• -The tirst proceeding of the operators was to
*“tesi” the sub in which foe booty was secured,
and : this experiment was conducted by the inser
tion! of a thin wedge of steel into foe almost im
perceptible chink left between the door of foe
safe: and its side. Supposing a wedge holds
when so driven; it is taken as evidence that the
operation is practicable, inasmuch as something
or other is clearly yielding to pressure, and that
pressure may be gradually and dexterously in
creased tip to the point desired. If the wedge,
instead of holding, rebound from the plates and
flies'off, it is proof that the affair cannot be man
aged, or, at least, not in this manner. In
this instance foe wedge held, and so the op
eration was continued. First, a little bar
was inserted, to release the wedge, then another
bar a little .bigger still to release- foe second
wedge, until after ten or a dozen such steps foe
chink was opened sufficiently for the introduc
tion of “foe alderman.” The instrument thus
signified in name is a long iron bar, sometimes
as much as five feet in length, jointed together
in pieces, so as to be carried in a small case.—
With foe end of “tbe alderman” fairly introduc
ed, and foe arm of a strong man acting at the
ofher extremity 61 the lever, the safe has no lon
ger auy chance, and so it was on this occasion.
The door Was pried open by the force, of this
powerful lever, and the booty was won. At a
quarter before four on Suntlay afternoon the
thieves were “up in Sir Charles Crosely’s office,
washing their hands,” and by twenty minutes to
five they were “miles away” on the Guildford
road.
This curious story seems to show that English
safes are not as stout as those made by American
mechanics, for we doubt if a burglar would ex
pect to break open an American safe with such
tools as Caseley used.
Splendid Relic of Revolutionary Times.
—There is now on exhibition at the, jeweliy est
ablishment of Messrs. William Brown & Son,
southeast corner of Baltimore and Charles streets,
a magnificent relic of the Revolution, of great
valpe and beautiful workmanship. This is a
gold snuff box, presented by Louis XVI., King
of France, to Colonel John Laurens, of South
Carolina, an aide-de-comp of General George
Washington, on the occasion of Colonel Laurens’
visit to the Court of France, as Special Envoy
from foe United States Government, to negotiate
a loan from the l^ench Government. The box
is of pure gold, studded with diamonds. The
exterior beautifully enamelled and studded with
diamonds. The top has a finely executed like
ness of Louis XVI. set in a cluster of thirty-four
diamonds, while foe outer edge contains twenty-
four diamonds. This beautiful relic has been in
the possession of the descendants of Col. Lau
rens since his death, and is now the property of
one of them, a widowed lady, who has lost almost
her all by foe late war, and now sends it here to
be sold tear foe purpose of maintaining herself
and children. One of our wealthy citizens has
offered over $2500 for the box, but Mr. Brown
being anxious to realize as large an amount as
possible for foe benefit of the unfortunate owner,
it fe very probable that it will be disposed of at
raffle. It is valued at $5000. The history at
tached to the relic is this: When Colonel Lau
rens reached France, although his reception was
favorable, and encouragement given that his re
quest would be granted, yet the delays perpetu
ally interposed by the Minister, the Cornu de
Verginnes, afforded little prospect of immediate
Success. Colonel Laurens, convinced that pro
crastination would give a death blow to Ameri
can Independence, resolved, in defiance of court
etiquette, to make a personal request of the King.
Dr. Franklin, our Minister at Versailles, vehe
mently opposed his intention; but finding Lau
rens firm in hfe purpose, said, “I most cordially
wish yon success, Colonel, bnt anticipate so dif
ferent a result, that I warp you I wash my hands
of the consequences.” Accordingly, at the first
levee, Colonel Laurers,' walking directly up to
the King, presented his petition, to which he
solicited hfe most earnest attention and said,
“Should foe favor asked be denied, or even delay
ed, there fe cause to fear, that the sword which I
wear may no longer be drawn in the defense of
the liberty of my country, but be wielded as a
British subject against the monarchy of France.”
Hfe derision met with its reword. Apologies
were made for delays, the Minister gave hfe seri
ous attention to the matter and the negotiation
was crowned with success.—Baltimore Gazette.
A writer in a Georgia paper introduces the
