The Lit*
coupons, borne months since,a Lumber o! cou
pons were received at the Sub Treasuries in
New York and Boston, from German bond
holders, and on being examined at the Treasur
er's office, were thrown out as spurious —the
**ex[>er!b” pronouncing them “ excellent coun
ter tells,” and professing to detect unmistakable
signs of “German engraving.” Straightway
the financia' world was a:artied with tbe ‘‘dis
covery," and the “financial agenis " o( the Gov
ernment lurnisbed with “ enlarged photographs"
to wain them against receiving any more. I
will let the official statement reveal the balance
o: the story.
“ The (pretended) counterfeits were sent to the
backers abroad, and seam returned with the
assurance they were genuine; that coupons cut
!mm lhe same bonds had heretotore been paid,
and the owners were responsible ptople. Ac
cordingly the records were searched, the little
bits of paper hunted up, and tbe coupons pro
nounced couni erleits wt re Ion nd to exactly fit
tbe coupons already paid. The evidence was
convincing that the rejected coupons were gen-

out cl the woods. When the smoke of the

Ecu d upon ail the Southern states, then Georgia
may have a Convention of her true men. An
terior to that period, it would be foolishness to

that until such conditions as we have mentioned

“ Ic this connection, we would observe that
e^iae ot cur brethren in the State who hitherto
no kid as true Democrats, and still claim to bt

lor tho Sike ot the past and lor the hopes of the

v.ho are now very bitter la calling names will
sot be as steadfast as they Imagine. Human
nature is mil and liable to error. Even Peter
denied bis Lord thrice, and this, too, when be
was following alur him with all of the solici
tude ot a devoted disciple. If such men as we
have indicated still prove recreant when tbe
purification ot the temple Bhali have begun, we
will be behind none ot our brethren la warring
upon the renegades. First, however, let an un
mistakable banner bo hoisted and then see who
follows its lead or who lags sullenly in tbe

Ko Fear* oi Negro Rule,
The new Yoik Herald says, in commenting
u;:on tho seating ot Revels In the United States
Senate, that it is unquestionably an estraordl
miry revolution in our political and Bociil life
to eco a negro seated in that high a sscmbly of
the Republic,but that there need be no fear ofthe
negroes coming in numbers to Congress, or into
any other import .Deposition. "Occasionally,” It
Bays “ au exceptional case may be seen where
come negro shows uncommon taientsand where
the constituency is composed mostly of Iris race.
Tuu wh.te man—the man ot the superior race-
will always have the ascendancy. The princi
ple ot political (quality and the rights oi all
meu to equal privileges or chances being estab*
Jished, tlieie will be no desire to elevate the
co’ored man beyond tbe point where nature has
placed him. The morbid pro negro sentiment
that grew out of the war and tbe abolition agi
tation previously will die out now. It b&s noth
ing to feed upon. Tho negro will take tbe
place nature has assigned him under this Repub
lie, ot wh ch nine-tenths or more are white
people, and wo shall see lew of that race in
Congre.-s or rccupying prominent political posi
tions. We recommend the old pro-Southern
ani pro-slavery democrats, therefore, to dry
uj their tears. Ncgioe3 will never bo our
rulers.”
Well, the Herald may be right, and we think,
it is in some reapecta The negro will eventu
ally ta’te tho place nature has assigned him in a
K public, ot which nine-tenths or more are of
thu white race, and we do not doubi, that, as
Revels has beeo the first negro to take a seat in
the S -natool the Ualtcd 8 a'es, so will ho be
the la t. But a wrong has been perpetrated in
this m ate, aud iu the whole negro eligibility-
to office-programme, aad wby should the Herald
say :o the pro Southern and pro-slavery Demo
crats “ dry up.” Dry up, they never will, till
the enl be cured, and that will only be when
reason, right, and Justice,shall resume their em
pire over the Northern mind, an era which tbe
*' signs of the times ” indicate is not far distant.

A Very Oid Dc&uUton or God,
The following curious passage is extracted
from a G:c k manuscript recently discovered in
an Arabic monast-ry. It daU a from the first
^tntu'y oi the Cbr stiaa era, and was written
by Hern e?, a disci(.1? ot 8t. Paul, to wbom the
a no-lie rciers ia bia epistle to the Romans,
XVI, 14:
First ot all, believe there is but one God, who
tert aud an t trained aU things ot nothing into
btina. lie comprehends all things, and is only
immen-e, not to ie comprehended by any.—
VVho can neut er be dtfinvd by any worvis nor
conceived by the mind. Tneretore believe in
Him and fear Hm; and tearing Him, abetain
firom ail evil. Keep these things, and cast
alt Inst and iniquity far from these; and put op
I phie >a-ness; and thou shait live to God if
&-0B &alt keep H.s commandments.
Row the most remarkable feature in this mud
dle is that the better opinion among some “ ex
perts” (expressed s-.nce these coupons have been
a kn iwiedged to be genuine, and consequently
paid ) appears to be that the bounds themselves
arc fictitious, and thus the Government has for
the third time blundered in a most important
and delicate milter. No officer of the Govern
ment will at this day certify to the genuineness
of any governmental obligation, irom a bond of
the highest amountdowo toaUneentlrBCtionai.
What security is there then, to the purchaser of
these obligations? And to wbat prodigious
irands this uncertainly may lead ! The Gov
ernment is not only constantly receiving the
coun'erfcits, but as constantly rejecting the gen
uine.”
It is stated also that among banks, banker?
and brokers, as well as at the Treasury Depart
ment, similar difficulties exist, ia regard to the
detection of counteifeit treasury notes, g een-
backs, and change notes, ot various denomina
tion- ; to skillfully have tbe counterfeits been
executed, that they have repeatedly been pro
nounced genuine while tbo latter have been pro
nounced spurious. Not loDg since It is Baid
that one oi the noted financiers of this State,
who is regarded in monied circles as being quite
inexpert, notified tbe Treasury Department, at
Washing'on, that Georgia “was flooded ” with
spurious $20 greenbacks, one oi which was en
clos d in the letter, giving the information, to be
examined by the Department, and advising that
prompt measures be taken to remedy the evil
and detect the counterfeiters. His astonishment
was great when la reply to his letter, he was
advised that the note be had transmitted waa
genuine, and Georgia congratulated at being
flooded ” with greenbacks oi so respectable a
denomination. We know, too, of instancta
coining under our own observation, where cur
rency notes have been pronounced spurious by
oue bank, and by one broker, and genuine by
othi rs. It has almost become a rule now in
trade, in consiquence of this state ot i Lings, for
parties purchasing and selling—6ave where the
till used in purchasing, or in giving change la
of large denomination-to receive without
questioning, or even examining into the genu
ineness ot tbo bill, tbe genuine irom thecoun
lerleit being so hard of detection. This is evil
enough in all conscience, but when It prevails
with government bond?, it is one ot a magni
tude that demands its removal at once, let it
cos', tbe Government wlia ever it may I
Lent—Tbe Origin,
Lent commenced on the 2d instant. As a
matter ot interest, a ooWrnporary gives the fol
lowing account o! its origin, as contained in the
New American Encyclopedia t
“ Lent is a last ot forty days, which immedi
ately precedes taster, come derive tbo origin
ot the word Irom the lenten, implying Spring, or
the eesaon when the days lengthen; others from
the Gtrmau leinen, to thaw. The object of the
last bas been disputed, but it is generally re
garded as a preparation for Easter, and a time
specially set apart for repentance over the sins
of the pari year ; while the iorty days devoted
to ft is thought to have reference to the Savior’s
torty davs last m the wilderness, to the forty
days ot the deluge, the torty years’ wandering
oi the Jews, the iorty days granted to ihe Niue-
vites lor r< psntence, or tae time tpent in fasting
by Moses aud Elias. St Jerome tpeaks oi tbe
ts8 r , as a memorial of the Savior’s passion. Ac
cording to the same writer, as well as St. Leo,
8t. Augustine, and most ot tue fatbers ot the
fourth and fitih centuries, it was instituted by
the Apostles, although Protestants commonly
hold that it was not established until tbe second
or third cemury
It seem* to have been made obligatory as early
as A. D. 250 At first there was great diversity
in the time and manner oi observance. Its du
ra: ioa was soon fixed by tho church at thlrty-
?ix dava, to which tour were subsequently added.
The hrsi day ot Lent is called Ash Wednesday,
from a custom which still prevails in the Roman
Cuth lie Church ot spnnkl ng tbe head or fore
head wi'h ashes, in t< kea ot pioic und griel and
peui'.eoce. It is the forty-sixth day before
Easter, the six Sundays whxh intervene between
it and that testivul, not being counted as part of
Lent, or observed as last days. Iu the Roman
Catholic Churcb, the nature ot ihe last is pre
scribed by rules, which are modified according
to c i nate aud habits. Amusements are ab-
s'aiued Irom. Tho proiestant denominations
Which recognize the season ot Lent, leave th*
ma; nor ot observance to individual judgment
Rol gious services are frequently observed.”

We can assure our friends of the Columbus
Enqui-er, from which excellent paper we clip
the foregoing extract, that the article referred to,
which wc copied, was transmitted to this office
iu the form oi a printed slip, and was credited
to the Cincinnati Enquirer, at the bottom there

been c ed.ted to our Columbus cotemporaiy.
IIo:r. A. H. Stephens.—We are highly grati
fied to leara that the health o! this distinguished
Gcorg’an is improving. His -great work on
which he ha? been so ions engagtd, is now in
pres?, and will soon be ready lor sale. The
great intellect which has been thus employed,
afiords a guarantee to the pnblic, that the work
will be worthy ot the author, aud afford its
rtaders with matter that they will find highly
interesting. We hope soon to sec it in circu
lation. _
Wheat Chop.—We are gratified to learn
irom our up-country exchanges that the wheat
crops iu that section were never more promising.
The late severe freezes, have not material]/ in-
Juicd it, and the breadth ot land sown, being a
lull average, we may expect a full yield if no
subsequent disaster should ensue. Iu our own
vicinity we are not so much prepared to apeak,
but hope tbe prospect ia equally favorable. We
ieel much interest ia the success of this crop, as
the drought of last year was very dicestroas to
our corn sad pee crop
Last evening, about 6 o'clock, the city was
startled with the report that Wilbur f\ Storey,
of the lime*, bad been publicly horsewhipped
in the vicinity ot his residence, by Lydia Thomp
son. Tbe tale spread like wildfire, and up to a
late hour last night, was the only theme oi con
versation in saloons; hotels, the theatres and on
tbe street corners. While many expressed the
opinion ihat the course of Mr. Storey and the
Times toward the Blondes, ot which Miss
Thompson ia the directress, bas been perfectly
unwarranted, unjustifiable and disgraceful, yet
there are many who have no hesitation in say
ing that Miss Tnompeon greatly erred in ap
pealing to the horsewhip lor redress.
As we have no desire to publish any distorted
or garbled statement of the affair, the following
recitals obtained from the principal characters
in the performance, on personal application,
will render tho matter satisfactory to our read
ers:
STATEMENT CE MB. STOREY.
My wile called at my office for me to go home
with her to dinner; we left the office about 4:30
o'clock, and walked up Wabash avenne to my
residence; on nearing tbe house I saw a carriage
standing close to the curbstone three or four
doors distant from the house; it attracted my
attention; as myselt and wife drew nigh, a
gentleman and two ladies approached ; on meet
ing, the gtmiciuac remarked, “Mr. Storey, 1
believe” I answired in tbe affirmative. The
gentleman then said, pointing to tbe ladies, one
on each aide ot him, “My name is Henderson —
these are Misses Thompson and Markham.
Mr. Henderson then stepped back, aud the one
introduced as Miss Thompson struck at me
with a rawhide. My wife stepped back. Miss
Thompson made at me again with the whip;
I then tried to seize Miss Thompson by the
throat to prevent her striking sgain; my wife
then stepped forward between us; the other
lady then struck at me; I raised a walking stick
I had in tnv band, when Mr. Henderson step
ped forward and grappled for me, during which
he hit me with a whip; X snatched the whip
from Henderson, who then fell back some
twenty leet and drew his revolver; my wife
then called to me to get my revolver; I put my
band ia my pocket to draw it out, but could not
get it, as it was in tbe breast-pocket oi my over
coat, and it was buttoned up.
One ot the women again attacked me with a
whip, when I raised my caue and told the
party that I was not alraid ot them. Mean
while, a policeman having seen the crowd, came
upon the scene. Oa his arrival the party re
treated into tbe carnage, and as Miss Tnompson
was entering the carriage, she tamed round and
attempted to strike me again. I told the police
man to arrest the occupants and take them to
the Armory; he mounted tbe box and drove ofl;
there was a second carriage standing near, in
which were seated two indies and two gentle
men, one of the latter wore eye-glasses, and
both bad taken part in the affray, I could not
identity either of them, and their carriage drove
oft before I could have them arrests. The
number of tbe first carriage was 70. A lady re
nding opposite my house, saw the party previ
ous to the occurrence, aud is positive th<y were
armed. A large crowd gathered around, and in
the heat of the struggle, I told tbe women what
X thought of them. [Said opinions are not ot a
character to allow reproduction here.—Ed. Re
publican] I received one blow on the side of
the head, and a scratch across the face. X can
delend mjfelf, and want no justice/from a police
court.
mb. Henderson's and ltdia. Thompson's
STATEMENT.
Oar reporter interviewed Mr. Henderson and
Miss Lydia Thompson at tbe Opera House
shortly after tbe commencement of the per
formance, and obtained from them the follow
ing:
At half-past two, Miss Markham, Miss Thomp
son, Mr. Cahill and Mr. Henderson obtained a
carriage and drove to the residence ot Mr.
Storey, on Wabash avenue. On inquiring for
him, we learned that he was not in, but would
be at home for dinner about half-past five. We
drove back to our hotel, and about half-past
lour started out again—leaving Mr. Calull be
hind. Oa arriving near the residence ot Mr
Storey we got out of theoarriage and walked up
and dowu tne sidewalk; shortly afterward Mr.
Storey and a lady came walking toward cs; on
meeting them Mr. Henderson said, “ Mr. Storey,
I believe;" he answered *• yeaMr. Henderson
then introduced Miss Markham and Miss
Thompson. Mr. Henderson stepped back, and
Miss Thompson and Miss Markham both strtlck
him with their whips. Mr. Storey raised bis
slick and chased Miss Thompson, striking her
twice. Mrs. Storey then came forward and said,
*' I am not to blame in this matter,” and begged
Miss Tnompson to stop. Miss Thompson again
made a rush for Mr. Storey, when Mrs. Storey
said, “ Wilbur, draw your pistol.” Mr. Storey
then searched in bis pockets for his pistol. Mr.
Henderson stepped forward and said t " If you
draw a pistol, I'll shoot you like a dog.” Mr.
Storey then withdrew hi* hand irom his pocket,
and Mr. Henderson put up bU pistol. Mr.
Storey then struck at Miss Markham, when Mr.
Henderson stepped in and received the blow
intended for her. It was a severe one, and
raised quite a bruise on Mr. Henderson's
forehead. Mr. Henderson then struck Mr.
Storey across the forehead with a cowhide
Miss Thompson and Miss Markham then
retreated to the carriage, aud as they were
doing so, Mr. Storey hurled at them tbe
vilest possible epithets, be in the meantime fol
lowing them up. As Miss Thompson was en
tering tbe carriage, she turned bait way round,
and gave him a cut across the face. Mr. Storey
made a rush for her, but was prevented striking
by tbe by standers. She then said, “ I have
whipped you as a bound, as I wanted to do." A
policeman then came up and seized Mr. Storey.
The ladies got into the.carriage, and closed the
doors. Tbe policeman got on the box and the
carriage was driven to the Armory, where we
were reformed that we were under arrest. Mr.
Henderson sent for hia lawyer, John Lyle King,
who went our bail in $100 each lor our appear
ance on Saturday. As tar as Mr. Storey is con
cerned, he cau do as he likes; we don’t care;
we have bad oar revenge, and branded him pub
lidy.
Condition Powders.—We have seen in one
of oar exchanges a letter from Mr. N. N. Edge,
of the Indian Springs, with wbom we have
been, for many years, personally acquainted,
and can vouch for tbe troth of his statement.—
He states that he bad a cow that gave him from
three to three and a hall gallons of milk per
day. He commenced giving her the plantation
powders, and the quantity of milk was increased
to five gallons per day. We know not what con
dition powders are, ot what they consist, bow
they are given orewhero they cau be found.—
Those having milk cows would do well to look
foto this matter, and avail themselves of the
benefit of this information.

Cab Shed.—Let us keep the ball in motion,
It there is any one thing more needed than
another in our city, it is a good, neat and sub
stantial passenger car shed. The shanties
which are now being used for that purpose
are a shame and burlesque upon posseLgei car
sheds. Situated, as they are, iu the most promi
nent locality in the city, where paeseogt rs from
■very point of the compass are almo t hourly
striving and departing, it is well calcula ed to
give sfrahgers a poor opinion ot our city.
First impressions are gene, ally the m st idling,
and w^icn a stranger passes a town or city, he
generally forms his opinion ot the place from
what he can see of it. This, of couise, is gene
rally confined to the car shed and its suriound—
ings, as the rapid transit, and close connections
of the several roads, gives but little time to look
beyond these precincts. CoL Halbert while in
office urged this ma'ier. He gave it as bis
op'nion that an euifice tor the purposes above
indicated could be erected at a cost of seventy-
five or one hundred thousand dollars, which
would be creditable to the five roads concen
trating at this point, and an ornament to the
city. All these roads, except one. for tia.e
past have been doing a thrivb g bus'ue^s
and Could well adord to spare fiiiet-u or twenty
thousand dol'a s. e-tcb, for the aceotnnibfrmeol
oi this guild object Our press has giv.-a tine
upon line, and precept upon precept, oa this
subject, but as jet, the functionar.es of
the roads rema n unmoved, so far a« action
is concerned. But let us not be discouraged
but keep the ball in motion. These stolei t.iti
Cials Cannot always withstand the j> over oi ihe
press, backed up by public opiuiou.
