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. Mr. H. C. Stevenson, the business manager of the Augusta Constitu tionalist, has retired from that paper and is succeeded by Mr. E. H. Pughe. It is estimated from such census returns as have been published this year that the population of the Union is about 46,250,000, Fifty-seven conventions in Phila delphia next year! There’s where the money goes. COLUMBUS, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1875. t'um-ral Service* ot Vice Prcldent Wll son.
