Henderson's story ot Ills Dismissal.
Washington Special to the Chicago Times.]
In reference to his dismissal by the
Attorney General, he was asked if
he knew any reason for that action.
He said : "No; I do not.” Have you
ever had any conversation witli the
Attorney General on the subject.”
“I have.” Henderson said that, dur
ing a previous visit to this city, he
was at the Arlington Hotel at break
fast one morning, two days after his
arrival, when a very polite note came
over from the Attorney General ask
ing him to call upon him at ten
o’clock. He called, and in that in
terview Pierrepont alluded to liis dis
missal in a jocular way. Henderson
said that, he waived the subject ut
onee, as he did not wish to have any
discussion about, it. The Attorney
General said to him: ‘'Let me read
to you what you said before the jury
in that case; let mo read the lan
guage that caused your dismissal.”
Mr. Henderson replied: "Great
God! don’t read that to me. I make
it, a rule never to read any of mi
speeches after they are delivered.”
The Attorney General, however, in
sisted, and rend to him the following
quotation : “What right had Grant
to overrule the order of the Secretary
of the Treasury?” “Well,” said Hen
derson, “what right had he? Do you
think ho had any right, Mr. Pierre
pont?” “No,” was the reply. “Then
you agree with me?” “Yes; I agree
with you in that, but you should not
have used the word Grant.” “Oh,
well,” said Henderson, “we Western
people are plain people, and we use
short words. I suppose I should
have said, ‘his excellency.’ or ‘his
royal highness.’” “No,” said Mr.
Pierrepont; “you should have said
the President, or President Grant.”
“Then,” said Henderson, “am I to
understand that this was all the rea
son for my dismissal?” “That was
enough,” said the Attorney General
dryly, and the subject at once was
changed.

The Nashville American states that
“in Hartford, Conn., last Friday even
ing, Senator Win. W. Eaton addres
sed au audience of some twenty-five
hundred. In the course of his speech
he made rather a startling announce
ment concerning a matter which he
said had not been as yet made public,
hut witli which he was “thoroughly
conversant,” and its substance was
tiiat when the New Orleans whiskey
ring comes to be exposed, St. Louis
and other Western eases of this class
would seem insignificant; for in New
Orleans frauds would he traced di
rectlv to the White House and to
President Grant, who was familiar
with ail the facts. He claimed, fur
ther, that iiuyi "'ho had gone there to
ferret out the facts had been killed,
and that the Attorney General had
refused to take steps toward punish
ing the murderers. He knew this to
lie true, and he knew that the Attor
ney General and the President also
knew it.”
If Senator Eaton spoke by au
thority, the American Republic has
reached a crisis in its existence which
can only end in regeneration or revo
lution.
The Black Hills Stoiiy Briefly
Told.— Unless emigrants are pre
pared to go to work cutting timber
and tilling the ground, and to as
sume the other trials and | ains of a
pioneer life to eke out an existence,
they should take warning from the
experience of a man writing from
Custer City, in the Black Hills. He
finds that settlers are selling their
claims for flour and bacon and,
that the miners were earning at |
the most from fifty cents to one dol- j
lar per day. —Chicago 'Tribune.

The Result of Gambliso Specula

Washington circles that President
Grant is in financial embarrassment
on account of unfortunate real estate
transactions. Recently he_ sold the
great bulk of his real estate iu Wash
ington. His last act has been to order
the sale of his Long Branch and St.
Louis property. He does this, his
friends sav, because he resolved to
clear off all of his indebtedness, and
this is the only way possible for him
to do.— Chicago Times.

TAIiUrOOSA COUNT*, ALA.
CONDITION OF THE COUNTY—JUDOF. CLAY
TON’S lIEMAUks PERSONAL MATTERS,
&C.
Ridgeway House, Dadeville, )
Tallapoosa county. Alabama. \
April lUth, 1876.)
Editor ’of the Times: We are quar
tered for the present at the “Ridge
way,” kept by a lady of sterling
worth and merit, who knows how to
eater for the table.
Dadeville is a beautiful littlo vil
lage, located ou gently rolling hills
of red clay soil. The citizens are
thrifty and industrious. The county
lost all its bridges iu the late fresh
ets. The Grangers during the flood
bid farewell to much of their seven
ty dollar a ton guano, as it floated
down the furrows, thence down the
branches and creeks to enrich the
bottoms of the Coosa and Tallapoo
sa rivers. Farmers in general are
set back by the cold heavy rains.
The county officers arc a clever set
of gentlemen, and do their duty
faithfully. The court house and jail
are good buildings, the latter fin
ished by Joe Porter, of Columbus,
Ga. Tbo public roads are a shame
to the good people of the county.
The crop prospects arc line. The
whole county abounds in valuable
minerals, of gold, silver, copper and
iron, with large forests of timber,
tracks of wild lands, well fitted for
saw mills and stock raising, with the
Savannah & Memphis Railroad run
ning through the entire length of the
county, giving her an easy market
for her crop of wheat, barley,
rye, corn and “Granger’s King Cot
ton,” and fruits in abundance. The
climate is fine and free from all local
causes of sickness, thealtitude be
ing seven hundred and sixty feet
above Pensacola, Florida. With a
little more energy, immigration and
capital, the county would be made
one of wealth surpassed by few in
the State.
John G. Fowler furnishes the
brains for the Head Light, a neat
newsy sheet of the simon-pure ring
of the old aud tried democracy.
Judge Clayton lias just closed a
session of the Circuit Court. In ad
ding his testimony to the grand jury
presentments he said in substance
fas reported by the Head Light) as
to the satisfactory condition of the
county, as evidenced by many indi
cations, that had attracted his atten
tion since he had entered it: Al
though raised in the adjoining coun
ty of Chambers, it had never been
his good fortune to have visited the
county of Tallapoosa. All along the
road he had noticed the extended
fields of small grain. Ho noticed
every where the willow heads cut
down and ditched out, the brush and
briers cleaned out of the fence cor
ners, and a general disposition to im
prove the farm and the home. Ho
agreed with the grand jury, that with
such a county it is idle and foolish
for any one to talk about moving
elsewhere to better his condition.
The discharge of the duties of his
office called him to different
parts of the State, and he
took pleasure in testifying,
tiiat he no where saw the peo
ple more cheerful and contented,
and with more reason for it, than
here. The truth, he said, is, we have
fallen into a sort of habit of com
plaining, and bewailing our condi
tion, until we have persuaded our
selves, we are a great deal worse off
than we really are. He would not
even confine his comparison to other
parts of the State, he did not believe
there was anywhere in the United
States a people, or section possess
ing any material advantage over
this. You have but briefly enumera
ted some of them in your present
ments, soil, climate, water power,
minerals; well are these things
worthy of consideration, and well
may you rejoice in their possession.
If you have but little money, remem
ber you have but little use for it.
Your productive soil brings to your
very doors all the actual necessaries
of life. Let your people at once aban
don all thought of any other country,
and remembering their proud histo
ry, continue the improvement of
their farms and homes. Say this is
our country, and here we intend to
stay, and here we intend to leave our
children—not wasted hillsides, but
beautiful homes and fertile fields.
All arc well pleased with his Honor
as a Judge; but many desire to see
him in the halls of Congress from the
Barbour District.
James L. Pugh is the choice of this
! section for the United States Senate.
| Personally wo know but little of Pugh.
! We once heard the noble John C.
' Breckinridge speak of him as a man
of giant intellect. But if he goes to
! the Senate, it will be after a four
j mile race, beating Houston, Morgan
and Percy Walker in the order
named. We hope, however, Houston
will be content to remaining Gover
nor of the State.
Willie Pond, formerly of Colum
bus, resides here; also Lovejoy. The
former we did not meet; the latter
spoke kindly of his old friends down
the Chattahoochee. “B.”
One of the girl operators at Crane’s
| paper mill, Westfield, Mass., suffered
i a severe attack of the lockjaw on£
{ day last week, in which the jaws
were set for more than an hour. The

opinion that the disease was the re
sult of a long and daily practice of
chewing gum. and that if the young
lady persists in chewing the article a
fatal return of the disease may be ex
pected.
