The STORY OF AN OUTCAsr-Marparet
Olmstead was arrested In Dubuque and taken
before Justice for examination on the charge
OF theft. She is young in years but old in vice.
She says she will be fourteen years old on the
18th OF March next. Last March she was mar
ried In GaleDa TO a man who tried to induce
her 70 go to Clinton and become an inmate of q
"eunboat," or foauDg brothel. She refused, ,
and a1ter he had lived with her few days he
decamped, and she has heard nothing
Of him since. Then she wandered about the
country, and came back to her parents in
Dubuque, leaving them soon to 60 and live on
the leland with the young scoundrels whose
career we have heretofore detailed. When
the police made q descent on the island
she escaped 70 q f1atboat, with the crew of
which she has lived ever since. She ap pears
hardened enough, and looked de1iantly about
the court room. until the justice talked in q
Kind manner with her about her career And
tts effects; when she burst into tears and said,
"Nobody has ever cared for me, have al.
ways been abused" And she told the truth,
probably; for II All accounts are correct her
home has been one OF cruelty for her-a home
where she never received lessons Of kindness,
and where the beauties Of q virtuous life were
never instilied INTO her young heart. What
wonder 10 1t that, at her early axe, she has
plunged into an appalling depth Of vice. The
justice sentenced her to twenty days conflns-
ment In jail Steps are TO be taken to rescue
the young creature, which 1t 10 hoped may b
successful.

1t was alleged that Richards, in Septenber

Inauguration OF Governor Brow nlow-His
Address.
Governor Brownlow was inaugurated in
Nashville yesterday morning. He appeared
in the House OF Representatives and took the
oath OF office.
In his inaugural address he expresses grati-
tude for the honor OF a second election by
majority la1ger than ever before given to any
Governor, but regards it as triumph OF the
principles represented in his nomination
rather than personal victory. He pays a
high compliment to the Republican party,
the only organization controlled by men up
with the advanced ideas OF the times and
guarding with jealous eye the preservation
OF the Union. He speaks OF the political con
dition OF Tennessee as harbinIer or a new
dispensation OF political affairs in the Sou,h.
and In regard to Nothern men settling in the
State he says. 81 have witnessed with regret
