UNBELIEF.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a leai beneath the sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky,
“Be patient, heart; light breaketh by and by,”
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever sees, 'neath Winter’s fields of snow.
The silent harvest of the future grow,
God’s power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep.
Content to lock each setisom slnnibcr deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says “To-morrow,” “The unknown,”
••The future,” trusts unto that power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close,
And dares to }*ve when life has only Woos,
God’s comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day and night, uncousciously,
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny;
God knoweth way.
From Philip Hr link to Philip Hotter.
The appeal used to lie from Philip
drunk to Philip sober. Now It must
be from Grant in political to Grant in
a pious mood. Almost simultaneous
ly with his order sending troops into
South Chrollna, he issues his thanks
giving proclamation. As u partisan
lie declared that there was an insur
rection in South Carolina whfch must
be dispersed;" Asa pietist he pro
claimedWe have especial occasion
to express our hearty thanks to Al
mighty God that by His providence
and guidance our Government, estab
lished a century ago, has been called
upon to fulfill the purpose of its
founders in offering an asylum to the
people of every race, securing civil
and religious liberty to all within its
borders, and metibg out to every in
dividual alike justice and equality
before the law.” In other words,
Grant, the partisan, said: “Damn
these rebels, they’re killing the nig
gers,” while Grant, the grateful, ex
claimed, “Thank God, everybody is
all right.”—Chicago Times.
There is one less mouth for Uncle
Bam to feed at the Standing Rock
Agency on the upper Missouri. The
Indians, while cutting their beef on
October lGth, twitted Wild Bear, a
scout, with hanging around the
troops. The scout resented the in
sult, and Crooked Neck, one of the
Blackfeet, retorted by drawing a
knife and attempting to stab him.
An Indian duel was arranged with
out delay. Wild Bear borrowed a
ritle and left the corral, with Crooked
Neck at his heels. Shots were ex
changed with great rapidity, the
marksmen gradually approaching
each other. The scout killed his
man, shooting him aga>n and again
while standing over his prostrate
body. At the agency the murderer
was complimented for ridding the
post of a quarrelsome and treacher
ous Indian. Such a brutal scene as
this does not tend to increase public
respect for the agency system.

HOW A BOND AGENT DIDN’T GET IIIS
BONDS PAID.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
On the registry of the Kimball house
some days ago, might have been noticed
the name of a Mr. Hazlewood, who had
come all the way from London.
Mr. Ilazlewood is a quiet, pleasant gen
tleman, and represents tie “foreign bond
holders association of England.”
This association owns the bonds of eve
ry “country in the civilized world, and
keeps trusted agents on the wink all the
time, looking after the interests of its
members. Mr. Hazlewood came to Geor
gia looking after $78,000 worth of our
gold quarterly bonds that were in the
hands of Messrs. Clews, Hobicht & Cos.,
of London. Although these bonds have
been pronounced null and worthless by
the Legislature, Mr. Hazlewood demand
ed their payment.
He was slightly surprised when Gov
ernor Smith told him that Messrs. Clews,
Hobicht & Cos. were not “innocent hold
ers” of these bonds; that they were
bought by Henry Clews fc Cos. from Bul
lock ; that he (Gov. Bmilh) has positive
knowledge that these very bonds were in
Henry Clews’ hands after they had been
disowned by Georgia, and the act disown
ing them had been published in the pa
pers.
Messrs. Clews, Hobicht & Cos., as part
ners of Henry Clews & Cos., must have
known of this action of Georgia, and in
purchasing them with that knowledge,
purchased what they knew to be worth
less. He utterly and positively declined
to consider the question of paying them.
When Mr. Hazlewood suggested that
the question would probably he taken to
the Legislature, Governor Smith remind
ed him that the Legislature had disowned
these bonds by a nearly unanimous yote,
and would not be likely to go back on its
action.
Mr. Hazlewood called Gov. Smith’s at
tention to the fact that unless these bonds
were paid, Georgia’s credit would suffer
in England, and she need not expect any
financial help from that quarter.
The Governor replied that in America
where the question was fully understood,
Georgia bonds were considerably above
par, and stiffening all the time. As for
eredit in England, while he of course
would like to see Georgia’s obligations
highly esteemed all over the world, he
did not see that she needed credit. “I
am utterly opposed,” said the Governor,
“to the State ever borrowing a dollar, and
it is hardly probable that we shall in any
event, apply to England for a loan. Our
people propose to discharge their real lia
bilities with scrupulous fidelity, but they
cannot be brought to pay what they don r t
owe, and never did owe.”
We learn from reliable sources, that
letters are coming in every day or two to
the Governor or Treasurer, that are
thrown out as “feelers” on the subject of
the bawdy bonds. It may well be imag
ined that they don’t “feel” anything
worth talking about.

In the Plot.
Philadelphia, Out. 2'J.—There ap
pears little reason to doubt that three
of the persons interested In the ab
duction of Charlie Ross aro at length
in the hands of justice, and that the
evidence agniust them is of such a
character as bids fair [o secure their
Conviction. On Thursday last Sam
uel Renners, alias George Youshling,
alias A. E. Eabb, alias Geo. Shaw,
alias Geo. Wright, alias Drapper,
! alias Jas. Pickett, alias Dr. Itobt. E.
: Dell, and Sarah Brown, known for
some unexplained reason as “Dutch
Sal,” were arraigned before Police
Magistrate Win. B. Collins, on the
charge of being concerned in the ab
duction and concealment of Charlie
Ross, son of Christian K. Ross, of
this city. The father and brother of
the missing child had nothing to tell
on the witness stand, beyond what
has already beeu given to to the pub
lic, respecting the mysterions disap
peance of the golden-haired little fel
low. The testimony of Policeman
Given, however, gave anew and
vividlv sensational character to
the'late developements in this extra
ordinary case. He testified that ho
had received information from a col
ored man Darned Nelson Parker,
otherwise known as Williams, to the
effect that there was a well organ
ized gang of burglars doing business
between Now Jersey and Central
Pennsylvania; that Mosher and
Douglass (who were killed in the per
petration of burglary near your city
some eighteen or twenty months
ago) were members of this league,
and that Benners and Picket, under
their various aliases, and the colored
woman, “Dutch Sal,” were also
members of the gang, making their
headquarters at Harrisburg, Pa. On
the 29th of September he arrested
the wornuu, and on the 9th of October
the two men, acting in each instance
on information received from Par
ker. The men were suspected of
complicity in a burglary perpetrated
iu Philadelphia, but the evidence in
that case was insuflicieut-to eonvict,
and thev would have been set at liber
ty but for further information, then
voluntarily given by Parker, that
they were concerned in the Ross ab
duction, upon which charge they
were then held.
Of tho letters produced at tho ex
amination, the following wero tho
most significant:
Harrisburg, August 2-1, 1876.
Mr. John Williams— Sir : I have
just returned from the city yesterday.
I made some time there. I have got
a jewel worth at least $5,000, and the
owner must come to time or lose it;
and I feel I will come oft right any
how. I left Wright; he would not
come to time. Mosher and Douglass
aro running the powder wagon now,
and I am running a book called
“Things You Ought to Know,” pub
lished by Martin, Dutton & Cos.
"Yours with respect,
George Youshling.
New York, November 4,1874.
John —You can believe all I have
said to be true, and I will do it. I
saw Sallie—Sarah Brown—last week
when in Harrisburg. Everything is
quiet, and her folks have the clothes
of the B. I wish you was free. I will
have a pardon for you if money can
do it. Did you get the things the
doctor sent you? I will write soon
again. Don’t forget to- destroy all
iny letters. I am going to Harris
burg soon again, and will see your
wife. I have done well with the
books and the medicine. * * *
Keep quiet and a good heart.
Yours in faith,
George Youshling.
Harrisburg, October 4,1876.
Kelson : Sib -All is wrong somehow.
Sal is gone and il hear you were in
town. I hope you aro not playing no
tricks on us. I have wronged you, I
know, but it is worth your life to do
so, for tho K. case would involve
some of the highest men in the coun
try, by which lam paid. * * *
I trusted you as a friend, and if
you are treacherous you will ruin me.
Well, I am going a few miles out of
town, and then I won’t leave until I
hear more. No one can tell more
than that three men took Sal and
daughter out of town, but when I
cannot tell; but what you were doing
puzzles me. If looking for me, all
right. lam sure I offered you money.
If lam short any time I can get it.
Did you hear anything of Sal? John,
there is but three of us that know
anything about the “Jewel” C. R.
case, and of them you are next to me.
I told you while in prison. Of course
M. was with me, but he is hushed
forever now. He told all he could,
but all is quiet now. Money’s all
spent, but “Jewel’s” safe; but debt
or’s all beat, so there is no trouble.
“Dol” is married, so I hear. Our
goods will be sold on Saturday. I
am on the lookout for these from
New Jersey. Don’t write till I tell
you I have went. Igo to Williams
port to-night. I spoke of money for
“Jewel.” I don’t want no reward.
I can make more from it in a very
short time, for it is a good sucker
and draws well. I expect $3 to-night.
This is all right, and if I was caught
or betrayed no law could reach me,
fori will free vou all some day, and
fix it so that if I was to die or be kill
ed that you can make $50,000 easy,
for you come next to me now. If you
hear a sound let me know.
Yours truly.
George Youshling.
In care Abram E. Babb.
The “jewel worth at least $5,000,”
is supposed to mean Charley Ross.
That, Parker avers positively, is its
meaning, and this interpretation is
further strengthened by two other
letters, one handed to Parker for
transmission to a third person, but
never delivered by him, and the other
a fragmentary portion of a half
burned letter found by accident in
.Sarah Brown’s house. The first of
these, addressed to ClaraKnockey, a
daughter of Sarah Brown, requested
her to give to her mother a sealed
enclosed note, which read :
Philadelphia, Sept. 26,1876.
Sadie: Go home and burn and de
stroy every bit of the clothing. One
string is broke, and we may be lost.
Be silent. Meet me at Williamsport.
Randolph is caught, and may squeal
on all. “We had four taps,” and the
boat was gone. We’ll stop in Shamo
kin. Get the hair from under the
hearth floor. Go home at once. Oh,
God, I am nervous.
COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1870.
G. Y. or Shaw.
The second was found by witness
and Officer Taft on Sarah Brown’s
mantel, with a ferreotype of a color
ed man, upon the back of whioh were
scratched the names Thomas Parker,
Geo. Youshling, Mosher and Doug
lass. Part had been destroyed, but
the portions remaining read :
“You shan’t lose a cent. Snowden
will see you next week sure. Seud
letter to A. C. Babb. See Sal. Tell
her all I said to you. * * The bird
is still sick at homo. Wostervelt got
ten years, but all is safe. Ho would
die before he would give us away,
and I trust you as far. Have sola
load, and got out of it $1,108.78. I
send you SSO. If you see John ttho
witness) let me know soon. Direct
to A. C. Babb. If you see anything
wrong let me know soon. It is a
nice‘Jewel.’ * * * Movo nothing
unless you seo it put to ashes. * *
Yours in fidelity.
G. Y. or A. C. B.”
Parker then went on to testify that
he was released from prison on the
3d of July following, and that he saw
Youshling soon after on Market
street, and at Reddy Dittmun’a sa
loon, when he said that he had-not
given up the “jewel,” as he could not
get his price; that ho had just had
four “taps,” meaning four robberies,
and that Randolph was shot in one;
after this, Parker went to Harris
burg, and upon his return to Phila
delphia received the letter from
Youshling, which said, among other
things, that there are “only three
persons who know anything about
the jewel: Mosher was with mo, but
he is hushed forever now; I don’t
want any reward for the jewel—it is
a good sucker, and draws well; if 1
should die or bo killed, you could
make fifty thousand dollars easy;
keep still.”
The witness said, on cross-exami
nation, that ho had seen but did not
know Mosher and Douglass, and that
he believed one of them to have been
the George Wright mentioned, as he
had not seen him since they were
killed.
The magistrate committed the
three defendants for trial, refusing
to aooept bail for either of them.
The colored, men Parker, or Wil
liams,who figures as informer in the
case, seems to have been a victim of
circumstances, and to have suffered
undeservedly the imprisonment to
which he referred in his testimony.
Such is at loa3t the belief of the offi
cers who investigated thoroughly the
circumstances attending it. He had
in 1871 a good situation and a happy
homo in Harrisburg. Ho was a mar
ried man, and not only sober and
steady, but a man of religious asso
ciations, and during his shortly pre
vious residence inDelwaraehad been
recognized by tho Conference of tho
Colored Methodist Church as a local
preacher. He was engaged in a flour
and feed store, and, by his attention
to business and acknowledged integ
rity, gave entire satisfaction to his
employers, Anothers of tho colored
residents of Harrisburg at that time
was a man named Cole who had been
for many years town dog catcher,
and whose wife, then a rather bright,
comely mullatto woman, known as
“Dutch Sal,” partly supported her
self and husband by washing. Ono
the men for whom sho washed be
longed to a party of travelling drug
peddlers, who did bussiness on a
novel and rather taking plan. They
had a buggy and a wagoD, both of
which looked as if they be
longed to a circus company. Tho
“traveling salesman” drove some
times two and sometimes four
horses in front of their medi
cine wagon. Whenever they stop
ped for trade one of them would
play the banjo and sing songs
until a crowd was gathered, aniong
whom his associates would circulate,
selling “Instantaneous Beliefs,”
“Patent Dentifrices,” and other spe
cifics. One of these men, the one
who had his washing done by Mrs.
Cole, made aoquuintauee either, it
seems, through her husband, or
from calling at tho stope. with Wil
liams. By this time WHUtyns had
so far made his way in tSe world
that he was tho'ownorof a house and
kept a horse and wagon,' with which
ho began to do a little trading on his
own account. He was ambitious,
and worked hard and honestly, early
and late, to raise himself and to sup
port in comfort his wife, between
whom and himself a strong attach
ment existed. Ho was doing well. If
ho could but get a little capital he
would do better still. To whom
should he apply but to his friend,
the medicine man ? He did apply to
him. The patent medicine man was
short of actual cash, but he had a
note in his possession on which ap
peared the name of a prominent citi
zen of that neighborhood. Williams
was known in the town and at the
bank. Ho had his wagon, his horse
and his house. The medicine man
was a comparative stranger. He,
too, would like a little ready money.
They would divide after the note was
discounted. The discount was ob
tained, the division was made. The
lion’s share and a percentage besides
fell to the peddler, and off
he went, leaving a little money
in Williams’ possession and
the note in bank. Williams was ar
rested, and found himself in due
course of time in the Eastern Peni
tentiary, while tho bank seized his
property and turned his wife adrift.
While he was in prison he received
some 342 letters, many of them from
the man who had betrayed him,
promising to obtain his liberation,
promising to make amends to him
for his undeserved incarceration,and
endeavoring in everyway to secure
his silence. He believed the “jewel”
to be Charlie Ross, and sought to
make his suspicions known to the
warden of the penitentiary, but was
never allowed to see him. He men
tioned them to the chaplain, and to
at least one other person, but at that
time there was an abundance of crim
inals in every prison in the laod pre
tending to possess valuable informa
tion about the Ross case, which they
were willing to give as the price of
their liberty, and his story was, no
doubt, looked upon as one of the
usual inventions. At all events, no
attention was paid to him.
After he was liberated, at the expi
ration of his term of sentence, the
gang made haste to endeavor to get
him under their influence, but, hap
pily, in vain. He had a good adviser,
and, succeeding iu obtaining a posi
tion as private coachman in this city,
held himself aloof from the rascals
who had once worked him woe. At
length, seemingly by accident, he
was placed in communication with
Lieut. Given, who was working up
the Ross case with rare patience, and
intelligence. Tho result has been
made known.

By tho uniform practice of the court

and by the fair construction of its rules,

A Political lliot In Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.—The Democrats
had a final demonstration last night.
There was a great deal of,bad feeling
displayed by crowds on the side
walk, and it is stated several boul
ders were thrown into the ranks, in
juring some men in the procession.
An attack was made on the Repuli
ean headquarters in the Eighteenth
Ward, and the building gutted. One
man was shot by a negro, who was
promptly arrested by the police and
hurried to the station house, followed
by a large crowd, with threats of
lynching him. The riot alarm was
given, and a crowd of several thou
sand men collected about tho station
house. Mayor Johnston addressed
the crowd, advising them to leave
the prisoner in tho hands of the of
ficers, which had a quieting effect.
At a late hour the crowd dispersed.

The Star says, Judge J. M. Ed
munds, Secretary and Executive Of
ficer of the Republican Congression
al Committee, says he has received
no news of any interest relative to
tho election of to-morrow. Ho pre
serves his usual placidity of demean
or; thinks there is no doubt of tho
election of Hayes and Wheeler.
The Departments are almost en
tirely deserted, most of the clerks
having gone home to vote. Among
those remaining, there is the great
est anxiety to learn tho latest news
iu regard to the result to-morrow.
Tho feeling is one of suspense, the
impression being that the election
will bo very close.
There is no Democratic paper here
to quote. Mr. Harvey, Secretary of
the Democratic Congressional Com
mittee, has no .doubt of a favorable
issue.
Another extract from the Star;
The political talk about town ; At
tho headquarters of Democratic Con
gressional Committee there is a red
white heat of enthusiasm, inspired
by the reports received from various
sections of the country. Mr. Harvey,
in charge of the committee, said to
day to a representative of the Star,
“Tilden will be elected as surely as
you are standing in this room.” In
this opinion he i3 endorsed solidly by
his'colleagues of the oommittee.
There is a good deal of side betting
outside of the professional gambling
circles. In the majority of instances
the odds are given to Tilden in pro
portion of ten to nine on the general
result. Smaller bets and a good
many of them, coveringlsilk hats,
overcoats, suits of clothes, &c., are
also made. Tho Democrats bet with
a good deal of confidence, but, as a
Republican said to-day, a bob-tail
flush is not worth anything when
you have to show your hand.
The excitement in the Depart
ments has subsided, because all the
voting material is away. There is
hardly more than one clerk per
room left In any of tho rooms of the
Treasury, and until the election is
over Uncle Sam will tax the energies
of the women employees, and to keep
the machine running, while the
more fortunate masculines, in voting
rights at least, are away to the front
at|hotels and sample rooms.
The impending conflict is the only topic
of interest. Opinions of course divide, and
some sharp conversational episodes are
the result. The Democrats, judging from
their execution, take ground that Tilden
will be elected, not because they have
positive ground upon which to base the
claim, but rather because all of their par
ty hope so and display a nerve not made
manifest in sixteen years. Per contra ,
the Republicans arc loth to believe that a
majority of the 40,000,000 people of the
country are ready for the sweeping change
in the national and financial policy which
a Democratic success would bring about.
In an undemonstrative way, they express
a good deal of faith that all is well.

From the time the first log was cut
for the first house, says the Black
Hills Pioneer, the growth of Dead
wood has been almost marvelous.
Only live months ago the town site
was a perfect wilderness of pine
trees. To-day our city coutains over
3,000 people, stretching along Dead
wood and Whitewood for more ttmn
a mile. We have nearly 200 business
houses, a municipal government,
mayor, board of aldermen, police and
all other officers necessary for the
administration of justice.
Every man owes a duty to his country
discharge it to-day.
