Bismarok's Personal Appearance.

The European correspondent of the New
York World, who won quite reputation as
spicy, dashing writer during the war, SAYS
that when he applied to Bismarck for pass.
the latter stated that he had purposed leaving
all such business to the discretion of the field
commanders (; but said he smiling, "when
one has come so far, and from a people we
like SO well as the Americans, he shall have
it."
The correspondent gives the following free
and easy sketch of the great Prussian's per
sonal appearance:

September 6, 1866

September 6, 1866
The most thrilling and melancholy affair
took place here on the 1st instant that has
shocked the feelings of our citizens since the
close of the war. The causes and results are
as follows:
About three weeks ago, or more, DIr. Antoay
Walton, wealthy milI-Owner of this town.
arose early in the mcrning with the alleged
intention of visiting his mill and plantation.
but suddenly changing his route, returned To
the house. There he found Mr.. James Leach

house his home during the sessions of court)
IN the room with his Eife. Their positions
relative to each other we're ouch Is to excite
suspicion on the part of the husband, who at
once ordered Mr. Leach out of the house.
and forced the execution of his mandate at
the point of a revolver; after which, he called
Tor the carriage, aud putting madam in, sent
her to her mother. Nothing farther of interest
transpired In the case. except that bill of
divorce was filed by Mr. Walton, until last
Saturday, when Leach again rode into town.
Alter stroiling about the village for some
time, he met Anderson Walton, a son of
Antony by first wife. Anderson reproached
Leach at once with the scandal, which Leach
denied with great emphasis wherenpon An
derson shook his fist in his face and exclaimed.
"Your!-lyingS-, you did! for pa saw
you, ut the same time putting his hand under
his coat. $50 you will shoot me, will you?"
yelled Leach, and drawing his six,shooter,
he fired, and young Walton fell pierced
through the lungs, the blood gushing from
his mouth and nostrils. Just then, MIR.
Walton the elder rushed up and fred three
shots from his pistol directly at Leach, but
missing him entirely, slightly wounded
Captain a. L. Moseley and negro. Once
more Leach fired, ana the elder Walton Law
on the sward corpse. The ball entered Just
above his heart, severing the main arteries
and causing instant death

about O'Clock, when, as they were closing
the grave over all that was mortal of his
father, his soul Joined him in the spirit world.
But the tale OF death does not end here.
The Rev. James IL. c. Leach, u. D., a highly
respected Presbyterian minister, died soon
after hearing of the bloody drama in which
his son had acted so prominenta part POSSIBLY

Louisville, KY, for bigamyI Soon after their
marriage he ran off with her money, leaving
her destitute, though legally free, for he had
two wives living when he married her. MIR.
Walton became so euamor5d With the beautiful
widow that he bought her wedding Clothes.

could procure, until the recent affair. which

Bolts in Trouble---The Action of the
Radical Convention on his Platform,

We published some days ago Mr.. Botts's
platform. No one can read the following ac-
count of his movements in the Convention
without laughing. We had never expected
to see Bolts sink so low:
AS soon as Bolts (when Speed had left the
chair) discovered that The negro suffrage
plank would unquestionably be adopted he
too grew weak in the knees, and prepared to
desert. In the midst of the debate on the
adoption of the report, while still occupying
the chair, he craved the attention of the
Convention for few minutes, pleading as an
excuse the necessity for his leaving the city
IN an hour. He complained that he had al
loWed himself to be unsuspectibgly placed in
false position by Speeds running away after
having cast upon his (Botts's) shoulders the
responsibility of presiding over the Cnuven.
ton at this most critical period He an
nounced his unwilEngness to vote for the ne
gro-sutrage platform, saying that he did not
believe 1t would command thirty votes in Vir-
glnla: Here he was interrupted by dozen
Virginia delegates at the same moment deny
ing his authority to speak for that State.
Bolts qualified his remark by drawing dis
tlnetlon between old residents of Virginia and
newcomers there. He asked leave to read
an immensely long list of resolutions, and
asheu tnat they pc made part of the
proceedings of the Convention as his own
individual platform
The scene at this time ,defed description. T..
The confusion was fearful Mr.. Bolts conid
not read his resolutions himself. and no one
else could be prevailed upon to do so. Mr.
Bptts was endeayoring to play double part
In the farce, performing the duties of the
chair at the same time that he claimed the
privileges of a member on the floor. Cries
were heard from all parts of the Convention
of s"Call someone to the, chair or take, it

~ taken place beyond the range, aud which
would be worthy the times of the Boreias.
some time IN May last man representing
himself to be minister of the gospel Itfs

made his appearance, the Irishman was miss

mountaineers are proverbially of rambling
disposition, but little notice was taken of bis
disappearance, In the meantime the ouon-
dam minister stepped into the shoes Of his
former host; became veritable ranchero.
and essayed to keep public house, taking
pains to inform all inquiring friends of tho
previous proprietor that he had bought out
the lrlshman, and that the latter had gono
into the lower country
This seemed plausible story and was read

missing man, who had been calling at the
house aud Here afterwards searching for their
horses, found human bones and co,npleto

marks. After this horrible discovery tbev
demanded an explanation from, their late host,
and were Informed that the remains in ques.
