Clmmicte and Sentinel. WEDNESDAY MARCH 81, 1875. .IN THE OLD CHURCH TO WEB. In the old church tower Hangs the bell: And above it on the vane, In the sunshine and the rain, Cut in gold, Bt. Peter stands, With the keys in his two hands, And all is'well! In the old church tower Hangs the bell; You can hear it’s great heart beat; Ah ! so loud, and wild and sweet, As the parson says a prayer Over happy lovers there, While all is well! n the old church tower Hangs the bell: Deep and solemn. *Hark! again; Ah ! what passion, and what pain! With her hands upon her breast, Home poor soul bas gone to rest Where all is well! In the old church tower Hangs the bell; A quaint friend that seems to know All our joy and all our woe: It is glad when we are wed, It is sad when we are dead, And all is well. AN HAUNTED HOUSE. There stands a house upon yonder hill, A lonely house that's haunted: A child might wander tbroogh it at will All day, with a heart undaunted; Yet I say that house is haunted. About it are many flowers and trees, And nothing is there that's dreary; In the garden musily hum the bees, And the bird's song there is cheery : No, none would call it dreary. Whenever 1 in that garden stray, A feeling strange comes o'er me, And scenes from many a vanished day Phantasmal float before me. And an olden dream comes o'er me. A long-lost form past the twilight nooks Glides by, in garments gleaming ; A sweet, fair face from a window looks, With a love-frought welcome beaming, Like a light in darkness gleaming. Into ths silent Aoom I go, And 1 deem t.iere is no one nigh me; But a shadowy shape, with a footstep slow, Comes, smiling, and sits there by me, Though I deem there is no one nigh me. ’ There's a glamour abont the house aDd grounds That dazes my waking visions. And charms my ear. and I hear old sounds, And X pause with indecision, Half doubting my ear aud vision. To others, no doubt, these things are not; But to me the place is haunted ; Fair memories hover about the spot That never will be surplanted, And the house on the hill is haunted. MISSING. In the cool, sweet hush of a wooded nook, Where the May-birds sprinkle the green old ground, .... .. And the wind, and the birds aud the limpid brook, Murmur there with a drowsy sound; Who lies so still in the plushy moss, With his pale cheek pressed on a breezy pillow. Couched where the light aud the shadows cross Thro’ the flickering fringes of tho willow Who lies, alas! So still, so chill, IB the whispering grass ? A soldier clad in Zouave dress, A bright-haired man with his lips apart; One hand thrown up o’er his frank, dead face, And the other clutching liis pulseless heart, Lies here in the shadows cool and dim, His musket swept by a trailing bough. With a careless grace in each lifeless limb And a wound on his m inly brow; A wound, alas! Whence the warm blood drips on the silent grass. The violets peer from their dusky beds, With a tearful dew in their great, pure eyes; The lillies quiver their shining heads. Their pale lips full of sad surprise; And the lizard darts thro’ the glistening fern, Aud the squirrel rustles the branches heavy; Strange birds fly out, with a cry, to bathe Their wings in the sunset glory; While the shadows pass O'er the silent face in the dewy grass. God pity the bride who waits at homo, With herlilly cheeks and violet eyes, Dreaming the sweet old dream of love, While her lover is walking in Paradise. God strengihen her heart as tho days go by Aud the long drear nights of her vigil follow. Nor bird, nor moon, nor whispering wind. May breathe the tale of the hollow. Alas! alas! The secret is safe with the woodland grass. EFFECT IN THE DISTANCE. Translated from the German of Goethe. The Queen stands in her regal halls, With many a taper blazing bright; When, turning to a page, she calls, “Go bring my purse, I’ll play to-night; “It lies at hand, “ Upon my stand.” So quick the youth his way did weud, He soon had reached the castle's end. New, sipping sherbet near the Queen, There stood a maid, fairest of all; When from hor lips the cup was seen. With sudden crash, to break and fall. “ Shame and distress! Oh lovely cress! She hastens aw&v from the throng. And flies through the castle along. The page, returning on his way, Met this fair ladv in distress ; Though none had known it, oft would they Their love in secret faith confess, A kindly fate * On lovers wait. So to his heart the maid he press'd With kisses sweet her cheeks oeress'd. But Anally each tore away. She hastened to enter her room. The page, to the Qneeu, made his way Tli rough many a sword and waving plume ; The princess espied The vest-stained side! For rarely was aught left unseen By one, so like Sheba's fair Queen. She called a lady of her train— "We lately came to strife aud jar, “For you so stoutly did mantain “That spirits act’ not from afar, "And in presence alone “An effect may be known ; “That no one can act from afar, “Not even a heavenly star! “Now see, for you know, in this place “That spirit-glass of sherbet fell, “And at the same moment (behold the trace) “On the page’s vest, it left a spell: “Get another, fond yonth, “And beeaueo the truth "Of my argument, you are upholding, “I'll pay for it—and save yon a scolding!" LADY BYRON’S REPLY TO LORD BYRON’S FAREWELL. Yes, farewell, farewell forever, Thou thyself has fixed our doom, Bade hope's fairest flowers wither Never again for me to bloom. Unforgiving thou hast called me ; Didst thou ever say forgive ? For the wretch whose wiles beguiled thee, Thou alone didst seem to live. Short the space which time has given To complete thy love's decay ; By unhallowed passions driven, Soon thy heart was taught to stray. Lived for me that feeling tender Which thy verse so well can show. From mv arms why didst thou wander ? My endearmeuts’eould forego ? Oh, too late, thy breast was bared, Oh. too soon to me 'tw&s shown That thy love I once but shared, And already it is flown. Wrapt in dreams of jov abiding, On thy breast my head hath lain ; In thy love and truth confiding, Bhss I ne’er shall know again. That dark hour didst first discover In thy soul the hideous stain, Would these eyes had closed forever Never to weep thy crimes again ! But the impious wish. Oh. Heaven ! From the record blotted be ; Yes, I yet would live. O. Byron. For the babe I’ve borne for thee. In whose loftv features (let me All my weakness here confess, Whilst the struggling tears permit me) All the father s I can trace. He whose image never leaves me, He whose image still I prize. Who this bitterest feeling gives me. Still to love where I despise. With regret and sorrow rather. When our child’s first accents flow, I will teach her to say “Father,” But his guilt she ne'er shall know. Whilst to-morrow and to-morrow Wake me from a widowed bed, On another's arm. no sorrow Wilt thou feel —no tear wilt shed. I the world's approval sought not When I tore myself from thee ; Of its praise or blame I thought not, What its praise or blame to me f He so prized, so loved, so adored. From my heart his image drove. On my head contempt has poured. And preferred a wanton’s love. Thou art proud, but mark me, Byron. I’ve a heart proud as thine own ; Soft to love, but cold as iron When contempt is o’er it thrown. But. farewell. Til not upbraid thee ; Never, never wish thee ill, Wretched though thy crimes have made me, If thou caii'ct, be happy still. Incidents op the Tornado. — A gen tlemau just from Columbia county in forms ns that the ravages of the tornado near Appling were frightful. A whole forest of young trees in front of Mr. Bailey’s house weie denuded of their bark. Immense timbers from the wrecked house were carried hundreds of yards. Our informant stated that all his strength, united with that of a friend, was hardly sufficient to raise one end of some of these timbers. Two of Mr. Bailey’s sons were out in a field bunting. The storm came up just as one of them, a lad sixteen years old, was raising his gun to take aim at a bird. The weapon was wrested from his hands by the wind and he himself was lifted from the ground, taken npintothe air.and carried entirely across the field and then dashed violently to the ground and rolled over and over. He was ter ribly cut up and bruised. His brother was also badly bruised. In the 124th District of Richmond county forty houses were blown down in one locality. Everything went down before the storm like reeds. Huge trees were twisted off above the roots and fences scattered in every direction. A STORY OF A f AMPIRE. Transfusion Extraordinary—V Frag ment from Police Archives. In the year 1857, apartments au troi sie-me were taken in the house No. 319 Rue St. Honore, Paris, by a couple, who had Austrian passports, and gave their names as Jean Kislov and wife. Kis lov pretended to be a musician, in part teacher and part amateur composer. He was a person very well informed, haughty and aristocratic in manners, and striking in appearance. He had a spectral face, set in a frame of thick black hair, and cut by a long mustache which hung down to his breast. His eyes, intensely black, thrillingly bril liant, flashed as if they belonged any where rather thap to his ghastly white face, entirely immobile, the pallor of which was heightened by bright car mine lips. He was emaciated to a sin gular degree, but there was nothing of the languor and dullness of disease abont him; on the contrary, a fire and intensity which gave a sort of passion ;to all that he said and did. He dresa j ed entirely in black, with a sumptuons ness of tone that was itself impressive. Mme. Kislov was a less distinguished person, being a very fair and florid I blonde, with white eyebrows and a | pinkish stripe above them. She was i plump, aud the way in which the rose i bloom was laid on her glistening white I skin gave her something of the appear ! ance of a wax doll. When Kislov had been living in the Rne St. Honore about four months, 1 several circumstances combined to bring j him under the surveillance of the po lice. Riding in a cab one day in Boule vard Montmartre, he was set upon by a workman, who assaulted him with a knife and would have killed him but for 1 the prompt interposition of a sergeant de-ville. The man was arrested, but Kislov persistently refused to appear against him, and the workman—whose named was Jasz, a Bohemian or Hun garian—was finally discharged. He would say no more than that he knew Kislov, and that he was a monster. The singular refusal of Kislov to testify j against an assassin directed the atten- ; Hon of the authorities to the man and j provoked inquiry into, his antecedents. 1 Two things were found out immediate ly—that his name was not Kislov, and | ti.wt he bought arsenic in considerable quantities at some pharmacies near where he lived. A little further inquiry, however, seemed to set the police curi osity at rest concerning Kislov. The Austrian embassy, which vised Kislov’s passport, assured the authorities that they knew him perfectly well, and were satisfied with the reasons he gave for living incognito. He was a Hungarian nobleman of high rank and great estate, which he had left to come to Paris, un der au assumed name, because the igno rant and brutal peasantry by whom he was siirroimded had got a firm belief in their stupid heads that he was a vam pire who lived by sucking blood, Ac. I'his would explain the attempt on his life made by Jasz, who was probably au emigrant from his neighborhood. As for the arsenic, M me. Kislov was a Bty riaD, who had the reputation of being !an arsenic eater. Kislov’s music teaeh ■ ing was merely an amiable eccentricity j of his, since lie was very rich, and a great enthusiast iu matters pertaining to the tone -art. An agent of the police de surete, how ever, not satisfied with wliat was report ed concerning Kislov, determined to make a private inquiry of his own. This agent, Sylvain, a man of great astute- j uess, and much trusted by the authori- \ ties, hunted up Jasz, and ascertained 1 from him that the suspicions of vam- ; pirism which lay against Kislov had j originated in ctrcumstanees intimately connected with his reputed music mania, and there were some parts of the busi- j ness which were exceedingly puzzling, i Sylvain set to work to investigate con cerning Kislov’s pupils in Paris. He j found that Kislov’s classes were com- j posed of girls and young women exelu- j sively ; that he gave his instructions for \ pay which was purely nominal, but iu j return exacted the most arbitrary condi tions, and was indeed exercisiug over his pupils a despotism which was as bizarre as it was imperious. He dis missed them at pleasure and without cause, assuming a right of arbitrary selection which he would permit no body to dispute. He would have none but handsome girls and women, and these must bo blondes—the fairer they were the more likely to be retained. He selected his pupils from all classes of society, but only in rare Gases did he give private instruction to persons of the higher social classes. To offset all this, it must be confessed j that Kislov was an extraordinary teach- j er. He was thoroughly accomplished in j his art, and very capable of imparting ] to others his enthusiasm. Where a pu- j pil was completely to his taste he spared ! no time nor pains to bring her rapidly i forward. Ho was a favorite with his pu- ! pits, too. His conversational powers were very great, ami there was smoo thing of a magnetic spell in his presence, iu the sombre mystery which shrouded his bewildering eyes, and the tender eourtesy of his peculiarly sympathetic mantlets, which made his susceptible | pupils advance most charmingly under his guidance. But, as Sylvain present- j ly discovered, there was always a culmi nating poi-iol to this progress, when it was checked off suddenly, and the rela tion between master uud pupil on me to an abrupt end. The pupil, after almost confidential friendship with the tutor, would be startled by a sudden coldness on his part, and a dismissal rude anil so peremptory as to admit of no qualifica tion, or else she would bo iuvited to go to Kislov’s apartments, to see Madame, and to practice some unique music he had there upon his own piano, the tone of which was incomparable. In the first ca<e, the pupil was never taught again. In the second case, the pupil never re turned to the apartments to practice a second time. Sylvain personally inves tigated four or five of these cases of the favorite pupils who were invited to prac tice at Kislov’s bouse, and found that the main circumstances in each were verv nearly the same. Take, for in stance, the case of Mile. Swartz, daugh ter of an Alsatian concierge. Mile. Swarlz was a brilliant blonde, aged seventeen, with a very pretty voice, who was preparing to go upon tho stage iu opera bouffe. Sue was a plump, pleasant creature, with a good deal of archness in her manners, and a frank insouciant grace which promised to help her materially iu her profession. She was the picture of joy ous, rosy health —a laughing Hebe of Saxon descent, with the blue eyes of Franconia and the fair hair of an English girl. , Mile. Swartz was received m Kislov s house with distinguished courtesy by the teacher and easy quiet by Madame. The room was shaded by curtains, which threw a crimson color upon all objects, and there was a strong tropical odor of perfume, which was rather oppressive. Mile. Swartz had an unbounded faith in and reverence for her teacher, who had made her advance moat rapidly, but this was tinctured with not a little awe, and she felt rather confused and dizzy when, after a period of conversation, ! Kislov advanced to hand her to the i piano. This confusion did not wear off, but rather increased, as she began to play, at sight, the preliminary bars of a piece of strange music, Kislov accom panying her upon his flute, and Mme. Kislov striking a few notes upon the zitter. Suddenly there was a blank, and she was roused again by finding herself ( by an open window, seated in a chair, I and Mme. Kislov bending over her with I kind solicitude. “Do you feel better j now?” she was asked. “Do not be I alarmed, my dear ; the room was too j warm for you—it made you faint. ” Then j Kislov, in his deep, mysterious tones, | said ; “Starosta, you had better aceom | pany Mile. Swartz to her home in a ! carriage all this while Mile. Swartz scarcely noticing anything, what with | the dizziuess and a strange languor that possessed her. All she thought of, all she spoke of, was her desire to be taken home, and that was speedily done. Mile. Swartz's appearance caused her friends the greatest alarm when she was brought home. Mme. Kislov explained that her frightful pallor was the result of a fainting fit, and that she would be (quite well again on the morrow. This, however, was not the ease. Mile. Swartz kept her bed for ten days, anil i it was more than three months before ! the pallor left her. Meantime a note ! came from Kislov stating his regrets that, owing to unavoidable circum stances, See., he would not be able to permit Mile. Swartz to resume her studies and practice under his direction —a thing which she had no intention of doing ; for her awe and reverence were now supplanted by an invincible repug nance. Sylvain found not less than four of Kislov’s pupils whose experiences were almost identical with those of Mile Swartz. While the detective was brooding over the mystery these eases were shrouded in lie heard of still j another which was exciting inquiry in ■ another direction. A Mile. Goijonx- Enchnysen, daughter of a wealthy banker, the representative of a Dutch family that had been in business in Paris since 1808, was also taking masic lessons from Kislov. Mile. Goijoux- Enchnysen, as perfect a blonde as Mile. Swartz, was morespiritnelle, less robust, and more nervous. She returned from j her single visit to Kislov’s iu a deep swoon, that was succeeded by fever and delirium. In endeavoring tosnbdne her restless tossings the nurse noticed that the pillow she was lying upon had be come stained with blood, and that there was a wound upon the back part of the girl’s neck, from which blood oozed with some rapidity. The attending surgeon was summoned at once, and found that the hemorrhage, though not violent, was very persistent, and was only subdued by the nse of the most powerful styptics. He could not ascertain anything in regard to the wound or how it was caused, and he was much puzzled about it, since its charac ter and that of the hemorrhage attending it was singularly like an aggravated leech bite. In the pursuit of his inquiries he called upon Kislov, who, however, de nied peremptorily that she had been hurt while with him, and the surgeon could not dispute this, since he had de tected no sign of such a hurt in his pre liminary examination of the patient. He thought it worth his while, however, to make some inquiries of the police con cerning Kislov, and the case of Mile. Goijoux-Enchuysea thus came to the ears of the detective. M. Sylvain called at once to see the surgeon, and, after a long conversation with him, induced him to visit Mile. Swartz and the other pupi’s of Kislov who were similarly affected. About three weeks later Jean Kislov and wife were cited to appear before the Juge d’lnstruction. Sylvain had made out his case. The accused, on being ex amined, at first haughtily refused to be interrogated, but finally admitted that his name was not Jean Kislov, but the Count Hadnaji Jotiuzo; that his wife was the Countess Stanoska, and that he lived in Hungary, in the country border ing on the Teiss, near the town of Madriega. He denied peremptorily that he was guilty of any of the practices at tributed to him, and said that he did not snppose it possible for the authori ties of the elegant city of Pans to be tinctured with the ignoble superstitions which disgraced the rude boors of Bohemia, Hungary and Wallachia. He j said, moreover, that it was no new thing j for members of his family to be accused j of being vroucolacas and strigse—it I was jierhaps part of the price they paid ! for their ancient patent of nobility. Au j ancestor of his had been murdered by I the Vehmgericht upon a very similar | charge to the one now brought against I him; bat be bad no fear before an open ! tribunal and in the broad daylight of : the nineteenth century. ; The four pupils and Mile. Swarx testi-! ! tied to the line of facts i already stated, | but Mlb. 'doijoax-Enehtysen was as yet ■ too ill to *p{iir. The, surgeon, how ever, testified to lit.* general condition and the character of the o,i n d upon her neck, which, though the p.-ibe revealed it to be superficial, was very unusual in appearance, and he was almost willing to stake his professional reputation that she had been cupped there or the wound had been sucked. He had examined the neckß of the pre vious witnesses, and in each case there were traces of a small cicatrix in or about the same part where his patient was wounded. Anew witness was now called in the person of Mila. Leonide Saumaise, a sprightly blonde, with a resolute face, but which had the pallor of recent illness. She testified that, in obedience to the instructions of M. Sylvain, she had applied to the so called Kislov to be to be taught singing, and had been reeived into his classes, and finally invited to his house after the regular formula. Her object was to find out the nature of the practices at tributed to him for the information of the police. M. Sylvain was apprized of | her movements, was near at hand for j duty in case his services should be re | qnired, and she herself was provided j with ammonia and stimulants to en- I able her to resist the insensibility which had overcome all the other witnesses, j She, however, had yielded precisely as j the rest, and recovered from the syncope i to find herself pale aud languid as if ■ just bled copiously. Instead, however, of suffering herself to be taken home, | she had gone immediately with M. Syl | vain to the surgeon’s, who examined her j neck. There was no pain, and at first no appearance of any wound ; but the microscope revealed a spot over which a | slight film of animal membrane was ( deftly adjusted. This was carefully re j moved, and under it was a slight lancet j wound, the bleeding from which was ' oheoked by some powerful styptic, and the incision closed with tho most con summate art. At this stage of the proceedings the examination was discontinued for the day, with the understanding that it was to be resumed on the morrow. Count Jotiutzo and his wife, after giviug heavy bonds for their reappearance, were per mitted to go home. M. Sylvian, how ever, was determined not to lose sight of the couple. He armed himself with a provisional warrant, and went to a room in the maison garnie which he had hired for the purpose of watching | them. This room was immediately be low the sleeeping-room of the Count and | Countess. Towards midnight Sylvain i was startled by a single shrill shriek in i the apartment above him, followed by | the sound of a heavy fall. Without, j hesitation Sylvain traversed tho stairs I and burst into the room. He witnessed a scene never to be for gotten. Tho gas-lights were flaming ! high, the air was filled with an oppres- I sive odor, and on the floor, in her night j dress, with a face calm and sweet as an j infant’s asleep, lay the Countess, full [ length, with the Count on his knees be i side her, his lips glued to her neck. As | Sylvain burst in the door he looked up, j glaring at the iutruder with a maniacal i fire in his eyes, blood fieeks all over his I white face, aud his mouth and chin fairly drirP“* ir esn B ore - h . vl ‘ i vain, old agent and cool ollicer as he I was, was just paralyzed by the sight, j The monster, or whatever ho was, even | as Sylvain looked, dropped his head j again, seized the wounded throat iu his j teeth, and snarled like a tiger throttling j his victim. Sylvain drew a pistol and j advanced to seize him, but the Count, ! with a wild cry and frantic agility, bounded to meet him, pressed him out j of the way with two powerful hands | against his shoulders, aud darted from | the room, Sylvain firing at him iu vain. The alarm was given, a surgeon was called, but the unfortunate woman never ; recovered consciousness. Her throat and j seek were frightfully torn and mangled, j and she died during the night. Count ! Jotiutzo was never arrested. His dead i body was found five days later in the j woods of Vincennes, and a post mortem examination revealed that his death was i caused by arsenical poisoning. His wife’s blood had killed him, but the pre cautions she had taken to preserve her | own life were insufficient. Examination of the room showed that the Count had produced insensibility iu \ b’s patients by using an ethereal pre | p. -ation, the smell of which was dis gu.sed by heavy perfumes, such as jas- I min, Ac. This preparation was diffused by means of the piano keys. Doubtless, whan the pupil was once overcome he j repeated the. doses as long as the effect was needed. An apparatus of caoutchouc i was found which might well seirotor | sucking a vein in the neck without in | juring the integuments, and these things, with an ointment possessing great stypti ; eal yirtuej and a box of carefully pre i pared leaf fat skin, showed that this ' monster was deliberately fixed up for the gratification of his terrible appetite ; so as not to be detected. Patient inquiry in Hungary elicited the further facts that Count Jotiutzo’s ! vampirism was known to the members jof his family. He had unquestionably i destroyed tile lives of his two previous wives by indulging his maniacal thirst for blood, and his family compelled him j to marry this Styrian arsenic eater, I thinking she would be safe. She wfts a j woman of low orign, and knew whom | she was marrying; indeed, had compro mised with him and his f&niily, agreeing to take care of him and keep him from | doing murder, but at the same time let ; him have a moderate indulgence of his infernal appetite wiie&eyer he could cou ; trive it safely, on the express condition, i however, that she was to approve the i patient, be present at every operation, j and regulate tiic quantity of blood' I taken. Under such eiraninstanaes she was not entitled to much pity, n spite j of the terrible death that had come up j on her. A Diamond Stout. An old man, well known in Brussels, who would appear ] every afternoon with mathematical regu ; larity in the Saint Hubert arcade, where ' he would walk for exactly one hour from ! 4 to 5 o’clock, died recently in that city. ; The oldest dwellers in that quarter of • Brussels remember to have seen him take his daily promenade for many years baok without ever conversing with any one. Among Bio papers a will was found, in which he asked to be. buried in a neighborhood cemetery by his wife’s sied, and requested that a person who | now fills an exalted position in St. Pe ! tersbnrg might be informed of his death. It appears that when young he had been j employed in a diamond-producing dis ' trict of Asia. One day ho fonnd anenor | mous diamond and determined to se | cure it for himself. The difficulty was now to escape the lynx-eyed agents. He ; make a deep wound in the calf of his leg in which he concealed the diamond. He I then pretended that he had been wound- I ed and his leg was bound up and he was authorized)to leave the district. He suc ceeded in escaping to Russia, where be sold the gem for a large sum. It is now one of the crown diamonds of Russia. Having thus acquired wealth, our hero traveled all over the world. Iu England i he married a young lady, who died in i Brussels some years ago. After her ; death he did not wish to leave the city where she was buried. Columbia Supebiob Court. —This Court met at Appling last Monday, Judge Wm. Gibson presiding. On ac counc of the terrible suffering in the county caused by the tornado, Judge Gibson adjourned the Court until the regular September term. Sheridan In Ireland. The Dublin Nation, by far the ablest I and most influential journal in Ireland, has a scathing review of the treatment of the Southern States, since the close of the war, by the Republican party of the North. Coming down to that most disgraceful episode in the history of the : Republic, the dispersion of the Lou- j isiana Legislature by the United States j troops, and the infamous and blood thirsty telegrams of Sheridan to the President, the Nation says : A shout of anger and indignation has burst forth from every State in the Union—North, South, East and West. Even Republi can as well as Democratic journals and politicians have denounced the scandal. It was nearly time ; for even Bismarck might have hesitated at the armed inva sion and overthrow of a legislative chamber. So far we have endeavored to summarise as clearly and correctly as may be the long and tangled story of hia coup d'etat. What remains now to be told fills us, as Irishmen, with shame and humiliation. The man who figures most disgracefully iu those transactions, or rather in subsequent proceedings arising out of them, is said to be Irish by birth or blood General Philip Sheri dan. We well know that some of our countrymen boasted of his record in the war of secession ; to-day they will hang their heads for this brutal Haynau of the American Hungary. General Sheri dan telegraphed to President Grant that the real way to settle up the busiuess was to proclaim the people of Louisiana as bandits, and leave the rest to him and his dragoons. We quote textuallv from the conclusion of this truly blood-thirsty document: “It is possible that if the President would issue a proclamation declaring them banditti, no further action need be taken except that which would de volve upon me. (Signed) P. H. Sheridan, Lieutenant-General, U. S. A.” Yes, dead men tell no tales; and “no further action neid be taken” except the drumhead and the fusilade ! This infa mous suggestion was, of course, based on a libel as monstrous as the proposal was inhuman—-namely, that Rory of thf Hills was about, aDd that the air was suffused with lawlessness aud crime.— Ws know that sort of trick here in Ire land. We, too, have beared the cry of “Leave ittomo I” But quickly a notable , refutation appeared. Over the signature? of Mgr. N. J. Perche,Catholic Archbishop of New Orleans; Right Rev. Dr. J. P. Wiiroer, Protestant Bishop of Louisi ana; Right Rev. Dr. J. C. Keener, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South; the venerable James K. Guthiem, pastor of Temple Sinai (for the Jewish community); ana qnite a number of non-political dignitaries ana personages beside, the statement of General Sheri dan was branded as a calutnuious false hood—the scandalous pretext of tyran ny, “old as the hills, yet not out worn.” It is positively appalling to contemplate this requisition to have a people deliver ed up to slaughter ! Even in the heart of war such an atrocity would arous the whole human race to protest. To propose it in cold blood, as the savage resort of political vengeance, has been reserved, not for a Russian, but for an American General—Sheridan, not Suar roff, by name ! If it be indeed true that this man claims any lineage from Ire land, he must be the descendant of some trooper, or some pitch-cap-and triangle yeoman of the’9B period. We disown him; aud it is a satisfaction and a consolation to ns to observe that the name of our country has been saved from the pollntion of identification wilh his conduct by the manly and noble protests of every organ of Irish opinion in the United States. j Mr. Carlyle on Modern Liberalism Mr. Thomas Carlyle, it is generally understood, is the writer of the short and vigorous sketches of “The Early Kings of Norway,” which h„vc been ap pearing in Fraser's Magazine. The series is concluded iu the March num ber of Iraser, and by way of epilogue the writer says : The history of these Hanrfagrs has awakened in me many thoughts nf des potism and democracy, arbitrary gov ernment by one, and self-government (which means no governmentor anarchy) by all ; of dictatorship, with many faults ; and universal suffrage with little possibility of any virtue. For the con trast between Olaf Tryggoeson and a universal suffrage parliament or au im perial copper captain has, in thsse nine centuries, grown to be very great, and the eternal Providence that guides all ! this, and produces alike these entities with their epochs, is not its course still through the great deep? Does notit still speak to us if we have ears ? Here, clothed in stormy enough passions and instincts, unconscious of any aim but their own satisfaction, is the blessed be ginning of human order, regulation and j real government; there, clothed ia a j highly different but again suitable gar- UfttlAAx iakotilutß, QPtl ly unconscious as to real aim, is tiiu ac cursed-looking ending (temporary end ing) of order, regulation and govern ment—very dismal to the same onlooker for the time beiDg—not dismal to him otherwise, his hope, too, being stead fast. But here, at any rati, iu bin poor Norse theater,‘one looks with interest on the first transformations, so myste ] rioUR and abstruse, of human chnno in*o I something of articulate cosmos; wit nesses the wild and straDge bird pangs of human society, and reflects that, without something similar (little as men expect such now) no cosmos of hu man society ever was got into existence nor can ever again be. The violences, fightings, crime—all, yes, these seldom fail, and they are very lamentable. But always, too, among those old populations there was one sav ! ing e’ement, the now want of which, especially the unlamented want, trans oends all" lamentation. Here is one of these strange piercing words of Ruskiu which has in it a terrible truth for us in these epochs now come. My friends, j the follies of Modern Liberalism, many | and great though they be, are pracu- I cally summed up in this denial or neg j leot’of the quality and intrinsic value of I things. Its rectangular beautitudes and spherical benevolences—theology of i universal indulgence aud jurisprudence j which will hang no rogues—mean one and all of them in the root incapacity of | discerning or refusal to discern worth ; and unworth in anything, and least of i all in man; whereas nature and Heaven i command you at your peril to riia ) oem worth from unworth in every | thing, and most of all in man. Your i main problem is that aneient and trite j one, “Who is best man?” and the fates I forgive much—forgive tho wildest, | fiercest, crudest experiments—if fairly | made for the determination of that. I Theft and blood guiltiness are not pleas ! in their sight, yet the favoring i powers oi u< soiritual and material i world will confirm to you j-our stolen ! goods, and their noblest voices applaud i the lifting of your spear and rehearse | the sculpture of your shield, if only | your robbing and slaying have been in fair abitrameut of that question, “Who lis best man ?” But if you refuse such I inquiry, and maintain every man for his ! neighbor’s match—if you give vote to j the simple and liberty to the vile—the | powers of those spiritual and material j worlds in due time present you inevita j bly with the same problem, soluble now ! only wrong side upwards ; and your | robbing and slaying must be done then 1 to find out ‘‘Who is worst man ?” which | iu so wide an order of merit is indeed j not easy; but a complete Tammany ring I and lowest circle in the Inferno of Worst . you are sure to find and to be governed | by- , A Constitutional Convention in Ala bama. — An election is to be held in j Alabama on the Tuesday after the first j Monday in August to elect delegates to ! a Constitutional Convention. The Gon | veution is to meet on the first Monday i ia September, provided a majority of | the votes east are in favor of holding a i Convention. The Constitution, which may be prepared by the Convention, is not to be operative until ratified by the people. This ought to be satisfactory even to Radicals, as they claim to have a majority in the State. The bill calling for this Convention further provides, “That if any Convention be called, it shall not be authorized to make any ordinance, rule or law which shall be binding on the people of the State, or any part of them, or to deprive any per son in office of his right to said office, as j now held by him under the Constitution and laws of this State, nor to place any property or educational qualifications upon the right to vote in this State, nor to do any act but to frame and recom mend for adoption a Constitution amen datory and revisory of the Constitution now iu operation in this State. In the Constitution so framed it shall be the duty of the Convention to provide for a system of common schools, as liberally as the means of the State will permit, and to be enlarged as these means shall increase,” &c.

THE TREASURY TROUBLES. A Card from Treasurer Jones. To the Gentlemen of the Joint Finance Committee of the General Assembly Now in Commission: A communication to the Chronicle and Sentinel, which appeared in that journal of 17th inst., signed “One of the Committee,'' takes me to task for va rious short comings. As I desire to reply to his several charges and point out the misrepresen tations and perversions of fact therein contained, I think I am entitled to the name of the author, so that standing in the open field I may not be required to meet a hidden assailant. I therefore respectfully ask that the author of that communication avow himself, and let me have fair play. Being assured of his position he is, of course, invulner able and in no danger, and consequent ly has nothing to dread in the avowal, which, when made, I assure him and the pubdic shall receive due attention. Respectfully, &c., John Jones, Treasurer. P. S.—All papers in the State, lovers of truth and justice, and especially those that have published the anonymous com munication mentioned above are earn eastly requested to give the above a prominent insertion and oblige John Jones. Asking for Information. Editors Chronicle and Sentinel: I have read with deep interest a com munication by “ One of the Committee” in your issue of the 17th instant, written ; in auswer to the defense recently pub lished by Treasurer Jones in his vindi cation against charges made by the State Finance Committee. The author, rumor says, ia Judge Wm. M. Reese, a name which carries weight with it on whatever side be chooses to espouse. I will say nothing now upon the questions he t eats, j and upon which Treasurer Jones has i seen proper to make an issue with the ] committee, except that the people arc j astounded at the developments made by : the committee, and ean hardly credit | the assertion that the known acts of the Treasurer involving the loss of thou sands to the State of Georgia cau be consistent with official honesty and in tegrity. But what more particularly attracts civ i in the article of “ One of is the following : “Be fore this subject, the rise in our bonds, 1 dicsire to say that after the act of 18”3 wies passed authorizing the issue of boj‘Js 1-aring 8 per cent., and noti tnxs'-’ie, ail l after these splendid bonds were put ijfiu the market, old 6 and 7 i-er cent, jliunds, seiliug, as the Treasurer says, at -tW, 70, 80, were bought up in large quantities at these reduced prices and exchanged at their nominal ” (par) “value for 8 per cent, noil-taxable bonds, which were then sold at par or nearl v par. It is very clear somebody has made vast sums of money out of these last bonds, and that the State has profited nothing by the great sacrifices made to sus tain her credit.” Now let Judge Reese, or whoever is the author of the foregoing, let the public know more about the purchase, exchange and resell ing of Georgia bonds, ami who it is, that made immense profits out cf the transact.>n. Was legislation forecast jto meet the case ? And did members of the Legislature who took a leading part in shaping legislation buy these six and seven per cent, bonds knowing that a law would be past authorizing their re-sale, bearing eight per cent., and in this way make vast sums of money out of the j over taxed people of the State? I say j to “One'vsf the Committee,” that rumor ! is busy with the questionable honor and j action of prominent, political actors, and i that Treasurer Jones is thought not to | be the only one covered ail over with the slime of ill gotten gain, and who | cannot escape without the smell of tire upon their garment. I say, let Judge Reese, or whoever it is, speak out. The people desire to know much more than tho foregoing meagre extract disclosed. Baron Steuben. CIVIL RIGHTS. Ben Butler's Letter to a Colored Man --No Privileges In Bar Rooms ami Barber Shops—Butler’s Advice. Washington, March 18, 1875.— Sir : 1 have the pleasure to acknowledge re ceipt of yours of the 14th, containing expressions of appreciation of my ef forts in behalf of tho Civil Rights bill, for which exceut my thunks. You further ask, “ Will you be kind enough to inform me if colored men are en titled to the privilege of saloons and barber shops under its provisions ?” An Unenvied Privilege. To this I answer ; I understand by “ saloons,” yon mean drinking saloons, and *L am happy to say that the Civil Rights bill does not give any right to a colored man to go into a drinking saloon without the leave of the pro eriotor. ;jnl am verv glad that it does gof, f) f, ill Willing’ to concede, u" i* I friend to the colored man that the , white race may have at lea* this one | superior privilege to the colored man, ! that they can drink in bar rooms and i saloons, and I shall never do anything j to interfere with the exercise of that ; high and distinctive privilege. I would I not advocate a bill which should give that rigb‘ *•- * ,l ’“ man. it I t er to vote for any bill on this subject i at all, it would be one to keep the color ed man out of the drinking saloons ; and I hope no barkeeper will ever let a ! colored man have a glass of liquor at. I any bar open for drinking. Indeed, Ii should be glad whenever a colored man i should go into a drinkiug saloon for the 1 purpose of drinking at the bar if aome | body would at once take him and put ] him out, doing him as little injury as ; possible. He could do the colored man . j no greater kindness. Privacy of a Barber Shop, j As to the other branch of your ques- j j tion, in reference to barber shops, let 1 ne say that the trade of a barber is like i j any other trade, to be carried on by the j man who is engaged in it at his own will and pleasure, and the Civil Rights bill has nothing to do, and w-as intended ; to have nothing to do, with its exercise, j A barber has a right to shave whom he i pleases as much as a jeweller has a right to repair a watch for whom he pleases, ; or a blacksmith to shoe such colored horses as he pleases. In other words, , these are not public employments, bnt private business, in which the law does not interfere. Ttie Colored Mali's Rights fit Common Law. From time immemorial all men have j ; had equal rights at the common law in ; places of public amusements, in public 1 i conveyances and in inns or licensed tav- j erne, because all such business was for ; the public under special privileges granted by the Government. The thea tre and like public amusements were li censed by the public authorities and protected by the police. The public conveyances used the King’s highway. The public inn had the special privilege of a lien or claim upon the baggage or other property of any traveler usiug it ; for his keep; and if any man was re fused, while behaving himself well and paying his fare, a seat in any place of amusement, or carriage by public con veyance, or shelter in a public inn, he had at oornmon law a right of action against the party so refusing. The Civil Rights bill only confirms these rights of all citizens to the colored man in consideration of the prejudice against him and an attempt in certain parts of tfip /vv.’.v.Vtr to interfere with the uaci- ’ cisa of those common law rights, and j bas enacted a penalty us a means of en- j forcing the right iu his behalf in con- \ sideratiou of nis helpless and depend- ' ent condition. The Civil Rights bill has i not altered the colored mans rights at i all from what they were before under i the common law applicable to nearly j every State in the Union. It has oniy given him a greater power to enforce that right to meet the exigency of combined effort to deprive colored citi zens of it; and all idea that the Civil Rights bill allows the colored man to force himself into any man’s shop or ■ into any man’s private house or into any I eating house, boarding house or estab lishment other than those I have named, is simply an exhibition of ignorance as well as, in some cases, of insufferable prejudice and malignity. And while I would sustain any colored man in firmly and properly insisting upon his rights under the Civil Rights bill, which were his at common law, as they were the. right of every citizen, yet I should op pose to the utmost of my power any at tempt on the part of the colored men to use the Civii Rights bill as a pretense to interfere with the private business of private parties. It is beneath the dig nity of any colored man so to do, and all acts, such as stmtting him out from drinking saloons, may be well left to the ignorant and generally vicious men who keep them as a badge of their superiori ty to the colored race. I have the honor to be, Ao., Benjamin F. Butleb. Weavers of Philadelphia are still striking because of reduced wages. Eight or nine manufactories are closed. Great alarm prevails at Port Jervis. People living on the banks of the Dela ware are moving to high grounds in or der to escape the threatened freshet. John Mitchel was buried yesterday at Newrv, Ireland. Ten thousand persons were in attendance. The Government prepared for trouble, bnt none occurred. Mrs. Low left Mr. Low, yeateidoy, to take a servants’ place in a boarding house, whereupon Mr. Low shot Mrs. Low twice and himself once. Mr. Low died immediately. Mrs. Low will follow salt. All this in Low-ell, Mass. WASMAIiTOK MEWS. Adjournment of the Senate. Washington, March 24.—The Senate was in executive session to-day, most of the time being spent in discussing the nomination of D. A. Pardee to be United States District Judge of Louis iana, vice Dnrell, resigned. The nomi nation was finally laid on the table. _ A committee was then appointed to wait upon the President and inform him that the Senate was ready to adjourn unless he had some further communication to make. The President replied he had none. The usual resolutions of thanks to the Vice-President and President pro tempore were agreed to, and the Senate at 5:45 adjourned sine die. The Louisiana District Judgeship. Washington, March 24. — The action a)f the Senate tabling Pardee’s nomina tion places litigation in Louisiana in an awkward positiou. The District Judge alone has jurisdiction in bankruptcy and admiralty cases. Neither Judge Wood nor Judge Bradley has an initiatory voice in these branches of law. There is now in the hands of the Kegistry of the District Court for jurisdiction by or der of the District Judge $72,000 and other suits in bankruptcy, involving over $200,000 are pending. There is doubt of the President’s power to appoint a Judge ad interim. It seems probable that all cases in bankruptcy and ad miralty must remain in abeyance until the next session of Congress. J udge Pardee has unconditionally withdrawn from the contest. I VEGETINE Purifies the Blood.
