General litibmlen Attacked by Grnrrai
Johnson.
A COWHIDE USED—PISTOL DRAWN BUT
NOT FIRED—FULL PARTICULAR
OF THE AFFAIR.
It is well known that Gen. Bradley
T. Johnson has been severely criti
cised by “An Old-Fashioned Man,”
whose communications were recently
published in thecolumnsof the Rich
mond Whig, and that the avowed
author of the lirst two broad-sides
over that signature was General
John D. Imboden.
Last Friday, in the course of the
investigation into the frauds recently
perpetrated at the recent so-called
election in that city, General linho
den took the stand, and, among other
things, testified in regard to the let
ters of “Old-Fushioued Man.” The
following episode occurred:
MR. lIOYALL MAKES AN INQUIRY.
Mr. Rcyall: You have spoken of an
article published in the Richmond
Whig over tlie signature “An Old-
Fashioned Man,” which you say was
written by yourself. Did there not
appear in all the morning papers of
the city, in a very few days thereaf
ter, a communication signed “Brad
ley T. Johnson,” beginning thus:
"The scurrilous, false and defamato
ry card published in yesterday,s
Whig, over the signature 'An Old-
Fashioned Man,’ requires notice at
my hands because lam the nominee
of the Conservative party, and be
cause it is my. duty to see that my
friends are justified in the support
they have extended me,” and after a
paragraph which I will not repeat
here, continuing, “the ‘Old-Fash
ioned Man’ is following a very old
fashion, which was denounced bv the
Almighty amid the thunders of Sinai
in his command thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor,
and for following which Annanias
and Sapphira were struck dead at the
feet of the apostle. This old fashion
is as old as sin, and envy and malice.
All the statements in the papers re
ferred to are false in spirit and es
sence, und the repetition of them
does not remove iho responsibility
of repeating them.”
OES. IMBODEN’s REPLY.
General Imboden : Such an article
did appear, as I have stated in my
examination in chief, to which I re
plied in a subsequent number of the
W7d(/, as I have also stated, which
reply of mine, with the subsequent
articles written by Mr. Wise under
tlie same signature, furnished full
proof of everv allegation made
against General Johnston in my lirst.
letter, except one, and convicted him
of denying as untrue a statement of
facts which tie knew to be true. The
exception I refer to was in reference
to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
imputation, in regard to which Gen
eral Johnson said, in substance,
that the subject had been investiga
ted byacommittoaofthe Legisla’ure,
from whose so-called report, he made
certain extracts, and oonlcuded in
these words: "And this report was
adopted by the Legislature,” which
statement is not true in fact, as the
journals of both Houses show; and
General Johnson, when he affirmed
it “was adopted,” either knew it was
not true or endeavored to mislead the
public by stating as a fact that
which was not a fact, and tlie truth
of which he could have ascertained
bv reference to the public records in
the Capitol. Fora true understand
ing of this matter, I now ask to tile
copies of my letters published under
the signature of "An Old Fashioned
Man,” and two of Geo. Johnson’s
cards called forth by those letters.
SATURDAY NWHT’S SEQUEL.
In consequence of Gen. Imboden’s
testimony, as above recited, lie was
Saturday night, assaulted by Gen.
Johnson at the Union depot, on
Byrd street, when about to leave the
city as a delegate to tin* National
Railroad Convention at Ht. Louts.
The affray was a brief one, and quick
ly interrupted by a policeman.
Gen. Johnson having sought out
Gen. Imboden, and finding him at
the depot, drew a cowhide, which he
had concealed about his person, and
attempted to use it. He succeeded in
striking Gen. Imboden once, when
the latter grappled him. Gen. John
son threw down the cowhide, and
succeeded in drawing a revolver upon
his adversary, who was himself un
armed. Gen. Imboden, it appears,
prevented him from using the pistol
by seizing him by his two arms and
holding him until Policeman Rowe,
who was near at hand, came up and
arrested both parties. The police
man, at Gen. Imboden’s request, se
cured Gen. Johnson’s light artillery.
Both parties were taken to the
Second station-house and bailed by
Justice John J Crutchfield in the
sum of SLOOP, to appear before the
police court, Gen. Johnson this morn
ing and Gen. Imboden on the 2d of
December next. Gen. Imboden will
proceed toßt. Louis.
Tilts is the report of the Whig.—
The following additional particulars
we gather from the Dispatch :
VERSION OF POLICEMAN ROWE.
Policeman Wallace Rowe gives
this account of so much of the diffi
culty as was seen by him: I was on
duty at the Petersburg Railroad
depot about five minutes after nine
o’clock, and was bilking to two gen
tlemen from New Pork, and as the
train came in I wheeled to go down
t> the end of the platform. Just as
I wheeled I saw General Imboden
and General Johnson in a hand-to
hand fight. They were close to
gether. General Imboden was strik
THE DAILY TIMES.
ing Johnson and General Johnson
was trying to draw his pistol. I ran
my arms between the two and sopa
! rated them. After I separated them
General Johnson got his pistol free.
Some onepiaid, "Take his pistol from
him.” I said, “No. General, put
that pistol in your pocket,” and at
tiie same moment pulled my club.
"Business iS business,” I remarked:
“put it in your pocket.” General
Johnson said, “Rowe, I will,” and
he put the pistol in his pocket. I
then said, “Gentlemen, both of you
consider yourselves under arrest.’
A CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
General Imboden said to me,
“This is a d—d conspiracy to delay
me from going to the Convention.” I
replied, “General, I know nothing of
the conspiracy or the cause of the
fuss, but I saw the fight, and am
compelled to arrest you.”
He replied, “Sir, I am appointed
by the Governor to go to the Conven
tion.”
I answered, “I can’t help it if you
are appointed by the president,"
A lame mat), whose name I do not
know, remarked to me, “Policeman,
come walk up to the end of the plat
form, 1 have a pretty landscape to
show you.”
I responded, “No, I thank you;
that’s too thin for me. You must
take me for a greenhorn,”
BAILED.
I uok both gentlemen under ar
rest, and put General Johnson in
charge of Mr. Royal! to take him to
the Second station-house. General
Imboden insisted on taking a hack;
and General Imboden, Mr. Stearns
and myself came along together in
it.
General Imboden was in a hurry to
get bail and catch the train as it
passed the corner of Belvidere and
Grace streets. We went to the store
of Justice John J. Crutchfield, corner
of Fifth and Marshall streets, and
out on the street found Mr. Cmtch
lleld, who bailed General Imboden
to appear at the Police Court on the
2d of December, and mean while to
keep the peace. The bail was fixed
at SI,OOO, and Mr. Stearns became his
surety.

His majesty Don Pedro, of Brazil,
who is coming to visit us next year,
is now in the fifty-first year or his
age, though tiis white hair and beard
make him look much older. In
stature he is qeraly six feet two
inches, erect as a Luce just a little
inclined to be portly; iiis presence is
at once imposing und commanding.
He possesses a cultivated mind, an
inquiring nature and comprehensive
views, an intimate acquaintance wit h
modern science, and a practical
knowledge of five or six languages;
he is perfectly familiar with
every subject likely to be discussed
in cultivated society in any Christian
city in the world. In manner he is
earnest, affable and agreeable.
During a recent prolonged journey
through the Province of Bau Paulo he
firmly refused to allow any one to
“speechify,” on uny pretext whatever,
whether on the occasion of his recep
tion, presentation or departure.
This will be a sad blow to municipal
orators, should he adhere to this iron
rule during the period of his stay in
the United States

Wlml Ih I’raiif- Halle of?
This is a question of frequent inter
rogation-owing, no doubt, to the
general discussion consequent upon
the recent fraudulent importations—
but os often is it indeffinitely an
swered, so thoroughly is the original
material metumorpnosed by the
treatment it undergoes before this
curious fabric is ready for market,
the transformation at times being so
great that even the most skillful arc
deceived as to the component mate
rials ; as we learn that one of, if not
the oldest merchants, testified in
court that he always supposed that
crape was made of worsted a par
donable mistake when we consider
how wiry and silky it not only ap
pears but feels.
The fact is, however, that the ar
ticle of chief value in the production
of crape is the finest Italian silk,
gjxm and woven in a peculiar man
ner, and treated to various mechanic
al and chemical operations—some of
which are held in the most profound
secresy —that its manufacture uoton
ly calls into play the most exquisite
skill and patience, but requires the
investment of enormous capital.
At the head of the manufacturers
of crape stands the English house of
Oourtaulds, whose name is insepera
blv connected with crape of perfect
finish and beauty. Many years ago
when their goods were introduced in
America by Messrs. Brear&Co., the
Oourtaulds were comparatively small
producers, but now Messrs. Hitch
cock & Potter, and successors of the
above firm, distribute very large
quantities annually besides the vast
transactions in London and other
European cities.
Crape is sometimes made of cotton,
and passes under the name of “Al
bert,” and “Victoria,” for uses that
do not require the more expensive
article.
The use of this emblem of woe is
so on the increase that the diminutive
j hand or rosette that formerly sufficed
mourning purposes has keen over
come by fashion until stricken ones
indicate their grief by dense folds of
crape, that seemingly envelope them
in clouds of unconsolable sorrow.
Crape, the civilized world over, is
the insignia of mourning, and no
other article can fill its place, it being
the outgrowth of a refined civiliza
tion that, demanding a suitable
fabric, has found in it a marvelous
adaptability.
A conflict is not improbable on the
Mexican frontier if the repoits from
there are, to be relied upon. A San
Antonia, Texas, dispat 11 says that
forty men of the Eighth calvary
crossed the Rio Grande into Mexico
contrary to orders, but have been or
dered to return. Major McNally,
commanding the State troops, who
crossed into Mexican Territory near
Cuevos in puruitof the cattle thieves
had been driven back to the river,
and Major Clendennin, of the United
States troops, has been sent to
his support. A large number of
Mexican troops are collecting near
Cuevos.

manager of the Augusta Constitu
