NEWS OF THE WEEK.

An United States Treasury agent
in Memphis has been arrested up
on the charge OF swindling the
Government of the neat little sum
of S561,O00. In the days of Demo-
cratic rule such a magnificent spe-
cimen of plunder would have caus-
ed a sensation, now such little
tranactions are ofalm ost everyday
occurrence, and elicit hardly a
comment.
General Grant, in a circular just
issued, says that hereafter boys un-
der the age of twenty one will not
be enlisted, except for the purpose
of learning music, and then only
under authority from the Superin-
tendent of the Recruiting Service
or the Adjutant-genera of the Ar
my, after the written consent of
the parent, guardian or master has
been obtained, and when that can
not be had, boys will not be receiv-
ed.
In the Steward divorce case, at
Chicago, Judge Jamison, yesterday
morning, granted new trial, the
only point being admissions which
he had himself given the jury.
Upon the rendering ofthe decision,
Stewards counsel announced that
the means of their client had been
exhausted, and he was utterly un-
able to carry on another contest,
and, considering his character full
ly vindicated by the result of the
former trial, he withdrew from the
case, and advised his client to do
likewise. Mrs.Stewart will not get
a divorce unopposed.
The County Safe, at West Union
Adams County, was blown open
by burglars last Tuesday morning,
but an alarm being raised they de-
camped without any money.
The Cincinnati Commercial of
Saturday lashes, with sharp edi-
torial lash, the Republican mem
bers in the Legislature for their
moral cowardice" in not submit
ting to a vote OF the people an
amendment to the Constitution al
lowing the Negroes to vote. The
Commercial says that the Republi'
can "party is committed to Negro
Suffrage by the vote of its repre-
sentatives in Congress-" That. so.
And so are the Republicans of the
Ohio Legislature by indorsing that
vote. They think, however-at
least some do-that they can hood
wink the people yet longer ON this
question, if they shall not at pres
ent commit themselves further
Statesman.
"a bill to blockade our own
ports," is the designation given in
some quarters to the new Tariff
bill.
A Washington special to the
Commercial says that Sanford Con-
over, the detective who fabricated
the testimony duplicating Jeffer-
son Davis with Mr.. Lincoln's assas-
sination, has been found guilty Of
perjury.
1t is thought a Compromise Bill
embodying the chief features of
Stevens and Banks measures will
be agreed on in the House on
Wednesday. Mr.. Elliot's bill will
probably be the basis, as it COM
bines both civil and military rule.
Counterfeits of the new five-cent
coin are in circulation, and many
of them have been passed. The
die or mattrix by which they were
made is nearly perfect, but the
metal of the imitation is very base,
being in some instances, not much
hetter than lead

Late Lamented---SOld Again -
Il. ID. Harper Alive.


That laundering boyle of an edi-
tor who controls the columns of
the Athens Messenger, had aroused
our sympathetic feelings full to
overhowing. We had, on reading
his article on the supposed murder
of L. d. Harper, our imagination
completely upset with scenes OF
assassination, blood, pistols, garotes,
bowie-knives, boulders, fiends, dev-
lis incarnate, &c. Then, oul SYM
pathy for the living-family and
friends--all lost! Yes, we spent
all our sympathy and indignation
for naught all owing to this Mes
senger mans want of caution in
prematurely numbering friend Har.
per. The news now comes to us
that Harper has turned up in Hi,
nois, and was seduced in Chicago
It's strange, no man can get safe
through that modern Sodom. Hope
the Messenger will note the latest
item.

PrOhibitOry Liquor Laws De-
manded,

Intemperance is growing so ra-
pidly that the friends of total legis-
lative prohibition are again in mo-
ton, and, apparently, very deter
mined to put the thing through by
forming a political party of them
selves, if they can not secure the
cooperation of one of the existing
political parties. In Michigan il
has been resolved to make total
prohibition a political question, and
at indianapolis, recently, the ad-
vocates of a prohibitory liquor law
met in the hall of the House of
Representatives, and adopted, by
an unanimous vote, the following
resolutions
"Reso1red, That it is the sense of
this heeting that the highest in
terest ofthe State demand the pas
sage cf a prohibitory law.
"Re8olred, That political party
should be formed on a prohibltory
basis, if We fall to get one without"
1t would seem that "moral suas-
ion" has pl oven to be failure. 1t
has failed, but why? Temperance
men should ask themselves that
question. 1t has failed because
the leaders of the cause were in
temperate in politics, religion,
manners, in fact, in every quality
whose exercise illustrates the
graces of charity, kindness, good
will, forbearance. Intemperance
in one thing begets intemperance
in another. Moral suasion is an
Indifferent weapon in the hands of
those whom communities can not
respect on account of their moral
delinquencies. For five years, re-
straints that have always, in well
regulated communities, been con-
sidered essential for the good of
society, were abandond, and vice
and immortality seemed to have
free license. 1t is now considered
essential to check up, not by NOR
al Suasion, but by penal enact
ments. Possibly they may sue
ceed if they do they will present
virgin chapter to the historian.

Grant and Ord, was decided by the court. The
motion was leave to file an amendment to the

court, as announced by Chief Justice Chase,
but the names of the Judges on each side were
not made public. Upon motion to dismiss the
bill for want of jurisdiction, it was ordered that
the bill be dismissed with costs. So the Mis-

the charge of the larceny of $4,000 in bills on
the First National Bank of Jersey City and
the forgery of the signatures of the Off GERS OF
the bank. 1t is believed that this is but a Dor
ton of the amount of national bank notes abb
stracted. Schumann was confidential mes
senger OF the Comptroller, and it was the part
OF his duty to handle these notes and carry
them to the express office.
Schumann was examined before the police
magistrates, and held to bail in $4,000.

communication with reporters.
JEFF. Davis and family remained at the

NEW YORK, May 10.
South American letters dated Rio Janero,
April 9th, and Buenos Ayres March 28th say
no new movement has been made by either
party in the Paraguayan war. Picket firlng
and throwing of shells occasionally into Cura
patty, were the only hostile maneuyres goir o
on.
Minister Washburn arrived at the c,mn of
the Allies on the IL tn of March from the Para
guayan Government,t to which he is accredited
and had a secret conference with MARQUIS
Coxias. 1t is believed that the conversation
was IN reference to the proposed mediation on
the part OF the United States. and that Mar
gus CoNas declined to admit of any mediation
whatever.
Inc recruiting of the national guard for
service in the field was utterly opposed by the
members OF that organization in Rio Janero.
IN fernambuco open revolt was threatened in
the event of the order being enforced.
The Pan aguayan army is we'll supplied with
everything through Bolivia. No sign Of want
IS visible among them, while the Allies are
discontented, being bound up in swamp and
deserted by their allies.
A peace conference was held at the Govern
ment House in Buenos Ayres, at which Gen
erat Mitre, the Provisional President of IRA
quay, and the Brazilian Minister were present.
IL is believed that all favored speedy peace.
The protessed mediation of the United States
was IN great favor with all classes. Lopez, the
PRESIDENT of Paraguay, is among them.
Operations against the rebels in the Argen-
tine Republic were actively prosecuted, and
the force of the latter had been reduced to a
few guerrilla bands.

THE MOBILE RIOT.
Only One RjOte9 arrested.
Troops still Posted i'm the Streets.

NEW YORK, May 16
The Herald has the following relative to the
Mobile riot
The leader, David Files, who fired the first
shot at the Chief of Police Commissioner Car
penter, is the only one arrested. He said he
aimed directly at Judge Kelley. He was held
to bail this morning in $4,000 by Mayor With
ers, but has not yet obtained bonds. 1t is GER
tain that the attack on the negroes continued
for a considerable distance from the scene of
action, as many were shot five OF squares off,
Shots were fired from the roof of a store kept
by Mr.: Wolf, directly opposite the stand, and
from the windows of house kept by man
named Brooks, at the corner of Royal street.
1t is believed here that shots were also fired
from side window of John Forsyth's house,
editor of the Register, which overlooks the
stand. 1 cannot vouch for the truth of this as
sat in front of the window, and the balls
must have struck behind me. The excitement
to-day is SO great that the investigation is post
poned. The Mayor and Col. Shepherd will
make rigid inquiry into the matter The u
S. troops are still posted throughout the city,
squad occupying the front of the Battle House
Col. Shepherd has acted nobly He was at the
scene of the riot during the massacred, aud
fastened to the camp to call the troops.
