The Late washington Marriage Scandal.

Special to the ST. Louis Democrat
WASHINGTON, December l9.-Careful
inquiry into the facts relative to the
mysterious disappearance Of Col. E. A.
Parker, Indian chief on General Grants
staff, shows that the story has been told
in some papers in most extravagant
end sensational manner. He was to
have been married Tuesday morning,
and large number Of civil aud military
officials and prominent citizens had
been invited. The statement that great
crowds of invited guests we're present
at the church at the appointed time, that
General Grant was there in full uniform,
accompanied by his staff; that he and
they were as much in the dark as any
body else is all pure fiction.
Colonel Parker's disappearance was
known TO his associates on the staff on
Sunday morning, and some search was
made FOR him on that day. On Monday
morning the fact that he was missing
was communicated to General Grant,
and soon thereafter to the expectant
bride and her family. Dilirent search
was instituted at once for Col Parker,
and kept up all day and evening, but
without finding the least trace Of him.
On the following morning, before the
time set for the wedding, the more inti-
mate friends Of both parties interested
were notified Of the material facts, and
accordingly none Of them went TO the
church.
Search was kept up al day by expert
enced officers, but no tidiugs Of the miss
ing man could be obtained. Early in
the evening of that day he appeared at
one Of the leading hotels and was given
a room, from whence be sent word Of
his whereabouts to headquarters. A hun
dred stories as to the cause Of his disap-
pearance have been set ahoat, nearly all
Of which reflected upon bis character as
an officer and gentleman. de is at
present sick, aud under medical care.
Facts will doubtless be established in a
few days. 40 present It may suffice TO
say that his explanation fully relieves
I him frem the terrible stigma Of disbonor
with which he has been charged
u is averred that be is the victim Of
c-riain Indians Of the tribe 10 which be
belongs, who are bitterly hostile 10 bis
marriage with any woman Of his own
choice. He says they Waylaid him on
Saturday evening, as be was returning
from Gen. Grants, enticed him to their
room, there drugged him heavily, kept
him in that condition for sixty hours,
ard then abandoned him with the ex-
peciation that be would die from the
Effects Of the dose administered. This

toi THE POOR NEGRO.

What fine prospect is now presented
to our Northern cousins in the way Of
taxes. Not only have they crushed the
South under, SC that all the Southern
States, which formerly yielded more than
all the Northern States, do not yield SC
much revenue to the government as the
single State Of Ohio, but all this Of
cost Of $2OO,OOO,OOO in bureau
and other appropriations. And while
the South is growing poorer, and its
capacity for taxation has grown toe
small to pay the expense Of holding i
in chains, the military sairsns nov
begin to inform the government that
immensely larger sums will be required,
and that the very population it has cost
so much to protect and set up over the
Southern whites, is now,with three years
help of the government in time of peace,
reduced to a starving condition. What
wise craftsmanship What efficient
administrator
We sgbjoin Special Order No. POS,
issued by Gen. Ord from the Headquar-
tiers 4th Military District, as follows;
Brevet Maj. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem,
Colonel oath United States infantry,
Assistant Commissioner Bureau of Refu--
gees. Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
for the State of Mississippi will proceed
to Washington, d. c., and represent to
the President and Secretary of War the
starving condition of the freedmen in
large number of the counties in his sub
district--due to the ruin and bankruptcy
of cotton planters-and the absence of
corn or the means t. buy it he will re-
port the absolute necessity Of some pro-
vision being made by the Government to
feed the armed freedmen, and avert
war of races in such sections as are with
out food Gen. Gillem will take with
him such reports and letters on file as
bear on this subject:
By command Of Breyet Maj. Gen. Ord
o. d. GREENE, A. A. 6.
What fine prospect is now presented
Why are the freedmen in this starving
condition. 1t is because they have be-
come governors instead Of bread makers
They are starving because they would
not work, in obedience to law, which
the higher law Radicalism cannot set
aside. Aud now Mr. Shoddy, Of New
England starch and buckram, must come
up and feed them. We have ted the
coored people often that Southern men
were better friends to them than the
Northerners. Now they will see whether
their Northern friends will feed them in
We tell them they may stsrve
and die first; and they win see whether
our words are true.

WASHINGTON, December z5'-i NC o'''
signed BY the President were not re-
ported to Congress before the adjourn
ment. Those bills are; one changing
| the time of holding the annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, and one changing
the name of Samuel Chase Barney
The other bills in the hands of the Pres'-
dent fail for lack Of his approval
Senator Howard, who has charge Of
the Stanton investigation, is busily en-
gagged in preparing report on that sub
iect 1t is stated that he has called on
the Executive Department ofthe Govern
ment for further information. The report
will probably be ready as soon as Con-
gress re-assembles.
Gen. Sheridan left here last evening
for the West, and will not return ill early
in January, when be will preside at tho
board Of officers, which has been ap-
pointed for the revisal of the laws and
regulations of the army. Generals Au-
CUR and Harvey are on the board.
A Worlds special says representatives
of the Fenian interest are urging the
State Department and President to re-
commend Congress to demand that repa-
ration shall be made by the British Gov
ernment for the Imprisonment of Ameri-
can citizens.
A New York weekly journal an
nounces, upon whatit terms high author
ity, an alleged plan of Mr.. Johnson for
running next fall candidate for Presi-
dent, Governor for New York, and a
United States Senator for that State.
We have the highest authority here for
saying that the President never heard of
the plan till it was read to him from the
paper above mentioned.
A special says that members of the
House of Representatives state that it is
a notorious fact that efforts to relieve the
immediate necessity of the finances of
the nation, have, upon reaching the FL
nance Committee of the Senate, been
suppressed, or at least, promise
TO remain unnoticed until their utility
will become greatly lessened. The
resolution against contraction, q measure
decidedly popular smeng Western mem
bers, has met this fate, aud hence the
Senate remarks to which this course of
procedure has given rise.
The Times special says the House
select committee to inquire into the
cause of the delay in settling additional
bounty claims find that the total number
Of claims filed up to December l, 1867,
was 1000 or these, 273,OOO remain
unsettled. Delay arises In part from the
lack of force employed, and the commit
tee report that all has been done which
could be expected Of force so reduced.
1t is very evident from the report that
the work of retrenchment in some offices
here has been pushed too far, and busi-
ness is suffering by it, and especially
the interest of nearly 100000 soldiers.
The committee recommend bill author
iziDg the employment of an additional
force, and to pay duplicate checks upon
evidence of the loss of the original.

n4 If man can spend FIVE dollars
these hard. Christmas times TO crafty
the little ones, which Is all right aud
praiseworthy, so we think be may afford
to give another five for the benefit Of the
poor. Suppose little discomfort should
be suffered Christmas week by such as
live luxuriously all the rest Of the year,
and the dimes which can thus be saved,
counted aud reserved and appropriated
TO relieve distress. We suggest it as a
way of spending the week which will be
most charming, and produce more hap
piness than drinking egg-nogg and eat
ing mince pies. Or, if this is too much,
let every generous heart give at least as
much to the poor this week as he spends
in gratifying his own appetites.
There are some in our midst who
have never before known poverty and
with whom, as unused to the rough edges
and wintry winds of life, poverty goes
extremely hard. One raised to labor
and hardship will thrive when such an
one will pine and die. Let none forget
such as these This is time Of hilarity
