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. LOOKPiG UP #714,000. 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. j IS CHARLES liOSS ALIVE. | PERHAPS A CLUE TO SOME OF THE KID NAPPERS AT LAST. Kignlflrant letters Written by Mem bers ot the Gan*—The “Jewel Worth 95.00 M -Mo.lier anti Douglass’ Purl 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. THE TURKISH SITUATION. EXPECTATIONS ©l' PEACE. Servians Accused of Killing Ituiftlan ©nicer*. London, Nov. 6.— Tho Times edito rially says: “We think, with the ma jority of our countrymou, that tho chances are iu favor of pence, such a peace as may assure tho well being of the regions concerned, by remov ing every pretext for agitation.” The Times’ Belgrade dispatch says it is rumored that Tchoruayeff will reside in Russia during the armistice. Russian officers express tho belief that t housands of Russians fell in the valley of Morava alone. They open ly accuse the Servians of bayouottlng Russians who, revolver in hand, at tempted to force them to attack tho Turks. The Standard's Belgrade dispatch roports some wounded Russian offi cers robbed and hacked to pieces by men appointed to carry them to the roar. <■ The Times’ Vienna dispatch says all tho powers except Germany, who will not interfere, have appointed commissioners for drawing lines of demarkation. Turkey, with it ma jority of the powers, thinks the lines should be fixed by the positions oc cupied by the opposing forces when the armistice wus agreed upon. Rus sia seems disposed to ask that Tur key withdraw from the frontier. DON’T FAIL TO VOTE TO-DAY. -*- ; 11. STATES ©UI’BEMK COURT. A I,ally Iloftisetl License tn Practice. important decision on taxation of INSURANCE Co’s. Washington, Nov. 6.— Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood made application to practice boforo tho Supremo Court. In making the motion to admit her, her attorney said Mrs. Lockwood had practiced at the Bar of the District Court more than three years, and was therefore within the rules of tho court in this respect. Chief Justice Waite said ho had been instructed by the Conrt to an nounce the following decision: By tho uniform practice of the court from its organization to tho present lime, and by the fair construction of its rules, none but men aro admitted to practice be fore it as attorneys and counsellors. This is in accordance with immemorial usage in England, and the law and practice of all the States, until within a late period, and the court does not feel called upon to make a change until such a change is re quired by statute or a more extended prac tice in the highest courts of the H ates. Whereupon Mrs. Lockwood and her friend withdrew. United States vs. Fenary ot. al.,from East Tennessee, reversed. Home Insurance Company vs. City Council of Augusta, Ga., error to the Supreme Court of Georgia. In this ease tho court sustain a tax of two hundred and fifty dollars imposed by the City Council of Augusta on all fire, marine or accidental insurance companies located or doing business within the limits of the city, there being no discrimination in tiio law against non-resident companies, and the authority therefor being found in the police power of tho State. The decision was unanimous. Every man owes a duty to his country discharge it to-day. 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. Every vote helps to swell Tilden’s Na tional vote, and makes tho condemnation of Grant more powerful. RomU Sent tn Europe.

Richmond, Nov. 6.—Our people are considerably oxcitod over tho send ing of Fcdoral troops to Petersburg, and the indignation is general at the action of the President. Rumors have prevailed here since yesterday that troops wero expected in this city, but as yet none have ar rived, arid nothing definite ean be ascertained.

WASHINGTON NEWS. THE ELECTION TALK. Democrats Feel Certain of Nueces*. GREAT ANXIETY AMONG REPUBLICANS. Washington, Nov. 6.—Morrroll and Taft were here to-day. Secretary Fish authorizes tho state ment that England being tho first to break, must be the first to move extradition. Treaty negotiations are pending on tho subject. Gen. Sheridan is in Chicago to day. 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. DON'T FAIL TO VOTE TO-DAY. THE BETTINU POOL*. Saturday Night.
