after dinner, that theefficers and his friends werc in

quietly secured two 1361.86, and; with a loaded double-
barreled gun by his side, fled with Mary-o
the Ohio and Mississippi nailroad,iwenty- One -Miles '
distant from Florence. They got on the train that
evening and arrived here on TaeSday night at hdif:

noon, Gridley went doWn on the mail-boat after his:
baggage, which he' secured, and returned on the,
Prioress without being discovered, reaching'Cincin-
noti early Saturday morning.
On the trip up of the steamer, an accquaintanco
of Gridley and the girl Mary hap"peried to be eon

Nlary at once confessed to the officer that
they were going to Belleview, and there pro-
cure a conveyance to tike them through the
rehrl lines into Dixie*, and that Gridley wanted to
go South and had coaxed her to go with him, and
he would marry her after they had gone beyond
Federal jurisdiction. When the fact that she was
under arrest and that she, with Gridley, would
have to return to Warsaw, tee distressed girl wept
aloud and bitterly, and begged the officer for God's
sake to shoot her. The arrest and the sobs of the
poor girl created the greatest excitement among the
passengers of the steamer. Upon being assured
that she would be protected and not taken to jail,
she became quiet, and accompanied the officer to the
Gibson House. Officer Chumley conveyed Gridley
to the Hammond-street station-house and locked
him up. Gridley offered no apology for his con-
duct, and was emphatic in his declarations that no
finer woman than his wife ever walked the earth ;
that he desired a change of country, and took this
method to secure it. Mary was willing to lear

considerable money with himl
versation learned that he owned one of the
finest farms in Gallatin County. He acknow-
!edged to cohabitation with
Mary, and treated the
matter lightly. Their clothingwas found to
be mixed together in each other's carpet bags,
and was separated soon after they were taken
into custody. Yesterday morning the relatives
of each arrived on the Forest
Queen. The
meeting of the mother and daughter and sister
with sister was deeply touching and affecting. For
some time neither spoke a word; finally Mary
broke the spell b y begging her mother's forgive-
ness, and asking her
to be received back into her
confidence and affection. At noon the entire party
went down on the Madison packet, the girl re-
turning
to her home and Gridley under arrest.
Gridley and his friends predicted a compromise, a
conclusion we imagine he had arrived at rather
prematurely. Mary is decidedly handsome and
winning, and Gridley is one of the ugliest men
we ever saw. How she ever consented to elope
with him, and under the circumstances, is wholly
irreconcilable. However, " there is no accounting

THE CAPE MAIL.

t -
: PLYMOUTH, MAX 30.
' The Union Company's Cape Royal Mail steamer
Norman, Captain W. Ladds, arrived here to-day,
from Table Bay, April 21.; St. Helena, May 1; and
Ascension, May 5. She had been delayed by head
winds. After landing her mails here and a part of
her passengers, she proceeded this afternoon for
Southampton. She 'brings the following passen-
gers :—Mr. and Mra. Van der Byl, three children,
and female servant; Mr, and Mrs. Joad and ser-
vant; Dr. Levi, Mr. Maynard (a large Cape rail-
way shareholder, _deputed to purchase railway,
plant), Mrs. Farmer, Mr. Cox, Dr. Drossell, Mr:

set Smith, Miss de Smidt, Mr. C. Van Reenen, Dr.

Mr. Saunders, two children, and servant; Lieut.
White, 85th Regiment ; Messrs. Eaton, Bennett, J.
M. Brown, J. Dackitt, A. B. de Villiers, J. Proud-
foot, and J. Watermeycr, jun.
Her cargo consists of 1,154 bags copper ore, 72
packages ivory, 200 bales hides, 320 bales wool, 34
bags argot, 12 cases feathers, 1 hhd. 2 cases of wine.
/1 b-des sllins, and several cases of sundries.
At the Cape there was but little political news of
importance. His Excellency the Governor had re-
turned from visiting some parts of the western pro-
vince to Cape Town, to prepare for the opening of
Parliament, which event was to take place on the
24th of April. It was thought likely that his ex-
cellency would visit the eastern province as soon as
the labours of Parliament for the present year are
brought to a close. It was generally understood
that he intended to invite several important altera-
tions in the manner in which the Government is
carried on, and the Governor's inaugural speech
was looked forward to with great curiosity and
interest. The Hon. Mr. De Roubaix intended intro-
ducing a bill for restraining free trade in money,and
limiting the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent. The
general feelin g,however,was against the introduction
of any usury law. Among the chief questions that
would be brought forward would be proposed rail-
ltdh the

ways and irrigation. Separation was to be again
brought forward, but there was mach indecision and
division prevailing among even the stanchest Sepa-
rationists. At a meeting at Cradock they, how-
ever, threatened that if neither separation nor a
removal of the seat of Government could be brought
about, they would try to force on an early dissolu-
tion of of Parliament, in order to get the question
settled by an "appeal to the country." There was
a rumour that the Governor hoped to settle this
dispute by holding the Parliament alternately at
Graham's Town and Cape Town. The eommissio.n
it was said, not give any report this session.
