GRAND SCAMP.

4 Florida correspondent Of the Columbus

thus shows up an abominable villain:

from South Carolina, in 1868, and was sub
seuuently appointed on the Medical Exam

of Quincy, was recently arrested in this
city on charge of bigamy, and is now con-
fined in the jail az Quincy, awaiting his trial
az the fall term Of the Circuit Court Of Cad

widower with three children, and succeeded
in marrying in the spring Of last year,

worthy gentlemen in Quincy. Ii is strange,
but nevertheless true, that be lived with his
new wife more than twelve months-up TO
the time Of his arreSt-enioyed the conf

meanness.

his South Carolina wife regularly. and In

The cause, finally, of the unfortunate young

that while TOLAND was recently on a visit

for the purpose Of seeing his children, she
received letters from him enclosed in en-
velopes directed to her father. She OF course

ANOTHER ATTEMPT Ar MURDER IN
EAST TENNESSEE.

A Morristown correspondent of the Mem
phis Argus, of a late date, says:
The comparative peace and tranquility
with which East Tennessee has been favored
for the past few weeks, had only tended to
lull her citizens into the happy belief that
a better state of affairs was dawning, and
that a spirit of fOrbearance and conservatism
would hereafter characterize at least the
controlling class. But we regret that these
anticipations have not been realized, and
that we are again called upon to record an
other deed of violence, which forcibly re-
minds us Of the outrageous scenes that were
daily enacted here during the summer and
fall Of 1865.
The circumstances are these, as related by
an eyewitness On the fourth of July, DR..
J. G. CAYwooD an estimable citizen of this
county, and Mr.. WIN. Brown, formerly a
Confederate soldier, started from cambridge
to attend a Masonic celebration at Newport.
They had proceeded in very quiet and
leisurely manner until they were nearing
their destination, when suddenly two men,
one bearing a rifle, emerged from the woods
and confronted them in the road.
They are permitted, however, to pass un-
molested for a considerable distance, when
they were fired upon, one of the balls taking
effect in the left hip of Mr.. Brown, inHict-
ing a painful though not very dangerous
wound. DR.. G. assisted his companion from
his horse, and then turSed upon the would
be murderers, and by mastery conduct sue
ceeded in arrestiug one of them, and pntting
the other to fight-not, however, without
being obliged 10 use the butt of his pistol
quite freely. About this time two men rode
up to their assistance when the arrested man
was placed under guard, and the wounded
man was properly cared for. The man ar
rested, whose name was COLLINS, was turned
over to the authorities, and by them COM
mitted TO Jail, and the escaped one whose
name was LARUE, was on the following day
arrested by the county sheriff, but, upon Civ
ing bail, was released from custody, The
prisoners gave no satisfactory reason for the
commission of the deed The most frequent
explanation offered is, that these men were
simply highway robbers, and belonged to
the same class who have infested the country
ever since the close Of the war. The affair
has caused much excitement especially
among Southern men, many of whom be-
lieve that it is a blow by the Radicals, or at
their instigation, intended to inaugurate an
other reign of terror among the few remain
ing rebels The country is afloat with va
rious rumors, none Of which are worthy of
credit during the present excited state of

EDUCATIoN OF TmE FREEDMEN.


The following article, which we clip from
the Columbus SIN, is we'll worthy Of public
attention:
The Governor Of Florida, we are told, has,
10y some means, secured the whole control
over the education of freedmen in that
State. Rev. Mr.. DUNCAN, who preached at
St. Luke's NJ. L. church, last Sabbath, has
been appointed General Superintendent. In
a few months he has organized thrty-two
schools in the principal towns, and the large
majority Of the teachers are Southern men.
Some are negroes and some are Northerners.
In selecting from the latter class, care was
taken to choose only those men who intended
making the South their homes. The radical
element was discarded altogether. Mr..
DUNcAN received the warmest to-operation
from the Northern merchants who had set
tied ut Jacksonville and other points They
wanted friendly relations established, and
mutual affection to exist between the two
races, and they knew this could never be
found where abound New England school
marms, who come here only to make a little
money, and whose hearts are full to the brim
with hatred for the people of this section
Mr.. DUNCAN and his assistants in every
case, consulted the leading freedmen, sought
their assistance and secured their earnest
cooperation. Thus, a number Of schools
have been established, every one of which is
selEsustaining.
The advantage Of the system is the proper
education Of the feedmen, the teaching him
that his future must be identified with the
Southemer and that the kindest feeling
should exist between the former master and
slave.
Il is impracticable, at present, probably,
TO put in operation such procedures in our
State, but we can in Columbus. Every one
must perceive that il is both our duty and
interest that our former slaves should be
taught Alright, and that the South should, by
kind and prudent measures, get control over
their education before New England can.
| School-marms will be here in crowds next
fall. We have young and old men who
would teach schools if public opinion, ex-
pressed plainly, would give its appreciation.
There are also colored men who would make
good teachers. Each school could have a
number of free pupils, and still be self-sus-
tanning.
One thing is necessary. A committee
should be appointed to consult freely, ex-
| plain matters, and gain the cooperation Of
( influential freedmen. conference of this
/ kind was held in Augusta, on Friday. The
/ colored Iaen warmly promised aid TO the
movement. Prominent gentlemen have sug-
/ gcsted that the COMMITTEES here consist OF
| three-Rev. Messrs. EVANS, DENOTE and
some prominent alderman-said committee
to be appointed and requested TO act by the
] City Council. To il could also be intrusted
the business Of procuring teachers. No
money is required for the movement-only
moral support. We hope these suggestions
| mav be imnrnvch and nctcd ON.

THE LEADING OBJECTS OF THE COM
i PANY are to encourage immigration to our
State, and to supply the demand for every deserp-
They propose to accomplish the first of these
objects by purchasing lands where suitable water
power CT other advantages may be had for manu-
featuring purposes; and also by purchasing lands,
in large tracts near cities, rivers and railroads.
These lands will be divided into suitable lots
tracts, and alternate tracts sold to the immigrant
ut or near cost, the purchaser paying one fourth
cash and the remainder in one, two and three
years.
The Company will also act as agent for large
landholders who desire 20 have their lands colo
nized.
The Company proposes 70 supply the demand
for labor by furnishing Mechanics, Gardeners, and
all description Of labOrers. They will secure this
labsr by being able to guarantee employment at
remunerative prices in the most healthy and
genial climate Of the world, and they expect to
satisfy the employer by guaranteeing the deliver
ing Of the labOrers to him at any shipping point
o. railroad station. Our system for furnishing all
kinds Of labor to all parts Of the State expect
to make perfect; For the detail we refer to our
circular on labor.
The profits of the Company will be derived from
the ultimate sale Of the alternate tracts of lands
retained, and from the building up of villages and
towns in places adapted to that purpose, and from
the aiding of manufactures and the general deVel-
Opment of the agricultural and mineral resources
of the State and also from the direct fees derived
from the supplying Of operatives.
The basis of our stock being the lands Of the
Company, any Improvement Of them must enhance
the value of the stock in the same ratio and there
by be safe and profitable investment to the
stakeholder.
The principal Office will be in Nashville Ten
nesSee, and the Company design to establish sub
agencies in every county in the State. Sg5scrip-
tiOn books are in the hands of Arson Nelson,
Treasurer; Felix R. Cheatham, Secretary; and
Jos. Saudek, General Immigration Agent, who
are authorised to receive subscriptions for the
stock of the Company.

A RIVAL TO New YoRK.-Tae Virgin
ians are talking of building a city at New
port News, near the mouth Of the James riv-
er, which shall rival New York. From that
splendid harbor, where fought the Merialac
and the Monitor the distance to Cincinnati
is shorter by one hundred and ninety-three
miles than from Cincinnati to Baltimore,
and two hundred miles shorter than from
Cincinnati to New York. Travel along this
line is not affected by the inclemency of the
winter Money has been provided by North
ern capitalists, and within three years the
Covington and Ohio Railroad is to be built,
and the chain of communication completed
by short links between Richmond and
Lynchburg and Richmond and the coast.
A French company has deposited So, 100000
with the State Government as security for
the completion of the James aiver and Ka
nawha canal. Thus she new rival of New
York is to be connected with the Great West
by the shortest railway and the best line of
water communications Exchange

rnE FREEDMEN IN GEORGIA.

An intelligent gentleman writing from
Thomaston, Ga, saws:
You will regret 20 hear that the freedmen
have begun 10 flag under the rays ola South
ern sun, Even those who cheerfully enter
ed into labor contracts, and who did better
than was expected up 10 June, have ceased
to labor like men who are in earnest. Plan
tiers who were familiar with the negro char
acter predicted Us much. When the pinch
Of the game came, when the summers sun
should reach It's highest point and the la
borer was expected TO do his best, then II was
feared and predicted that the freedman,
though laboring for himself would not prove
equal TO the slave. The prediction has been
verified. The test has been too severe for
Cu6ee. His love Of idleness, Of ease and
shady places have overcome him, and he is
now performing but little more than halt
duty.

CLAIMS AGAINST G GOVERNMENT. The
Committee on Claims have made a
large number of adverse reports upon
claims coming under the class pro-
scrbed by the hte resolution of the
House. Among them, was one pre-
sented by Commodore Winslow, of
the Kearsage, who is unfortunate in
having lost Southern property by
the rebellion. 1t seems unjust to
throw out this class of claims, but
Congress is inexorable in its refusal
to surrender them.
A sweeping bill will soon be intro
duced in Congress, and be no doubt
passed, for the relief of those officers
whose vouchers or accounts were cap
tured or destroyed by the enemy,

The COTTON FRAUDS. Balti-
more Transcript bases great hopes on
the integrity and efficiency of MI.
Watterson, of Tennessee, in develop
ing the cotton frauds in the South,
and bringing the perpetrators to
punishment, for which responsible
duty he has been selected by the
President. He has already made a
report, of which correspondent
says:
In the report of Mr.. Harvey M.
Watterson, of Tennessee, to the Pre-
sident, he entered very fully and mi
nutely into the subject of cotton frauds
practiced in the South by Federal
agents, including some of Il military
character. By these frauds Mr.. W.
showed that very large amounts had
been obtained by these corruptmeans,
while the Government obtained but
small portion, if any Of the spoil.
Mr.. w. explained the naocus operandi,
in each class Of cases adopted by the
Federal agents. and others who were
in collusion With them, for their pur-
poses. The owners Of the cotton,
generally planters who had been fortu-
nate enough to save a portion of their
crop from the grasp of the rebel
authorities, were approached first
with menaces of arrest, Imprisonment
and confscation of their property,
and were then induced to accept a
small sum for their cotton, as means
of saving their personal liberty. 1t is
not too late to trace many of these
frauds to the perpetrators and to
recover some of the property, or the
proceeds of the sale Therefore the
President has selected Mr. Watterson
as q proper person to ferret out these
agents. and associated with him is an
officer Of the Treasury, Mr.. Chandler,
who will be an efficient aid in bring
ing them to justice. The amount of
property of which the poor planters
were thus deprived, without benefit
to the United States, is immense.
