VouSy succeeding these pistol sbota MAJ,
witnesses testified that the pistol shota rso,,
followed by avolley from the entire conso1,,,
eFe party, anu that that was returned by m,
armed men OF the colored league, while otbers
testified that Immediately on the firing of Ne
pistol shots the armed men Of the leaqne faced
about and fired volley, killing Michael n
Cody, Jr., and YOundiDg six whites and seyer
al black conservatives. No doubt the firing Of
the colored league was very deliberate and :c-
curate, as nearly as many conservatives were
killed or wounded as there were arms in the
hands of the colored men, and il was evide mt
shat none of the arms were reloaded and fired
a second time. Ii is worthy of remark that
,,1a .mo swehiy-seven colOred men whose wounds
Mete 10 dressed Were all wounded in the back, or
c. ,11 r DaSk part of the limbs, showing clearly
.i'a In. Oarnh says, they were fired upon from
..I';i euo lear anu nank by the Conservative party
whiie Iarcnlng IN procession, or after they
had broken ranks, and were running away
from the Conservative mob. '
There was nothing in the conA, ~ of tba
League, or any member of it TO Justify this
murosrous assault upon it. There fs no Souht
that some OF the banners horne in the nro-
cession We're in bad taste. For example- nne
of them was inscribed, Remember Fort pill
low when you get to the polls;" on another.
"The radicals build school houses; the con-
servatyes burn them" These inscriptions
were probably the work of some of their white
friends. The procession OF colored men march
ed under the flag of the United States, and the
man who carried 1t was wounded in the side.
The testimony does not show that there was
any particular objection to the banners carried
on the 9th, though at a meeting held some days
previous the sheriff had forbidden the League
to take their banners into the conrt house
where Republican meeting was to be held
The flag of the United States was one of these
banners.
General Carlin says the people of franklin
are apparently very sorry the affray occurred
and that 1t is perfectly safe to leave the whole
matter to the action of the Circuit Court, be-
heving that the Judge and District Attorney
will do all that should be done to bring the
guilty to Justice.

THE Loss OF REGISTERED GOVERNMENT
BONDS. The New York Journal Of Com

THE Loss OF REGISTERED GOVERNMENT
BONDS. The New York Journal of Com
merce comments on this subject as follows:
The public debt Of the United States is re-
presented either by coupon bonds payable TO
bearer and good in the hands of any holder,
or; by the register of ownership in the name of
certain persons on the books of The Depart
ment. For this registered debt certificate is
given to the owner, but this is not negotiable
II the person in whose name the debt stands
wishes to sell his interest he can transfer titr
only by surrendering his certificate, as he
would a certificate of stock, with his own in
dorsement certified by one of certain govern
ment officials to whom he must be personally
known. A new certificate is then issued TO
the new owner. The absolute safety OF such
an investment has given it great favor with
executors, trustees, bank officers and other
representative persons who desired to hold
the debt as permanent investment.
Heretofore the regulations in regard to
lost certificate were very simple. The loser
was obliged to advertise it conspicuously for
certain definite period, and then to forward
proof of such publicity to tie Department,
upon the receipt OF which a new certificate
would be issued. As the lost document is ut
terly worthless in any body's hanes, the Gov
ernment suffered nothing by the reissne, and
all interests are thus protected.
The Secretary now announces that he will
issue no new certificate for a lost one. The
interest will be paid regularly to the last
rightfrl holder until the debt natures, when,
if he be- alive, he will receive, she principal
This will defeat the very object of the holder
in the purchase of this form of indebtedness.
How is an executor going to settle an estate
with sum locked up in a govern
ment debt, indivisible and irredeem-
able until I, the debt matures?-
All the usual rights Of holders, who may lose
their certificates by robbery or fire, are ruth
lessly to lie sacrificed for the mere whim OF
government official. If it issafe to pay the
interest to the registered owner of the debt,
why is it not safe to give him a new certifi-
cate? Suppose that be had twenty duplicate
certificates all representing the one share of
Indebtedness standing to his credit, could he
draw from the treasury one dollar more of
principle or interest than was justly his due?
What possible reason for II can there be except
in the saving of little thought or some clerk
in the Treasury Department. 'l ".+.''--

Tho WEfppoorwfII.

Is there any bird named in our language
that sings a sweeter song than the Ameriesn
Whippoorwill? There is q clear, mellow trill
nal songster, that seems like music from the
celestial spheres. What sounds are uttered
Dy English nightingale, we know not, for that
bird, we believe, is not found ON this conti-
nent but If it equals that of our American
nightingale, whose sweet but mournful ca
denees excite the sympathies CT its human
listeners, as it utters its mournful tale of some
unieeling foe that threatens to "whip-poor-
Win,1 we do not wonder that the poets of our
motber-land have had so much to say in It's
praise. ..,. a..,. ..
During several stily nights, all this sum-
mer long, one ofthese birds has been pleased
to take his position upon a venerable Euro
pean linden Tree whose branches spread over
our humble chamber, and, in notes of more
Than human melody, has saluted our night
watches with most pleasing serenades. VIII
ifnely have we forborne the refieshment of
sleep for the sake OF listening to the music OF
that welcome visitor. There is q peculiar
earnestness inhis tones. Being SO very near
TO our open window, we can hear his fist
teolian syllable, and the cluek which answers
as a period, between the lines of his song:
"o.o-osvhip-poor-r-r BNI (eluck); 900 achip
poor-r-r VII (cluck); 900 whip poor-r-r
; Viii (cluck) )" are hisrapid utterances, breath
ing musical whisper before his distinct AZ
ticulation, and rising in volume of voice till
his last Wilp'i is a whistle peculiarly loud
and emphatic. We had rather listen to his
harmonious and charming strains than to the
thunder gusts, jerks and sereeches of any
brass band this side of Mount Jargon. Some
people think this musical whippoorwill is our
common niehthawk, that is often seen in
the day time ascending by winged steps into
the air and diving ea,tbward with shai p,
ringing sound but this is an error. The whip
poorwill is different and more rare bird. 1t
is purely NOCTURNAL and is migratory and in
.sectiyorous. 1t is ten inches long. The plum
age is mixture Of ash, black and brown up
on the back; the breast chestnut color, and
the throat has a white collar around it. Its
food consists Of ants, small flies and other in
sects taken by night. by daylight it lies con-
cealed like the bat, and is never seen except
by accident. Its nest is very rare, being built
in out-of the-way places-a slight seoopinS OF
the ground, OF more generally on arock with
afew sticks and twigs placed carefully around.
The eggs are two in number, of stone color,
speckled very thickly with brown spots. The
mother will keep close on her nest until you
aie within a foot or two of her, and then she
will flutter off and fei9n to be lame. Her
chicks, like young partridses, are the color OF
the ground, and will lie SO well concealed
among the herbage or grass, that it is very
difficult to perceive them.
