the failure Of s. 4 J. Ralli 4 Co., cotton brokers
at London and Liverpool, with a branch estab.
lishment here, succeeding that of Colin Campbell

GEN. GRANT AND THE PRESIDENT. -
Much speculation has been INDUCED as to
the contents of an alleged correspondence
between the President and Gen. Grant
touching the removal Of Stanton and Sher-
idan. The special correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, who is regarded as we'll
posted upon such matters, makes the fol-
lowing satisfactory explanation:
just before the suspension Of Stanton,
Mr.. johnson had conversation on the
subject with General Grant, and the latter,
shortly after leaving, sent back letter to
the President, giving reasons why he
thought the contemplated action Of the Ex-
ecutive had better be abandoned. 70 this
no reply was made by Mr.. johnson. When
the order for the removal of General Sher
idan was sent to Gen. Grant, note ac-
companied it, informing the latter that il
he had any suggestions to make Mr.. John
son would be glad to hear them. The pur-
pose Of this note was to know probably that
some other successor for General Sheridan
might be named. General Grant replied
by an argument against the removal at all.
10 this the President answered somewhat
at length. The character Of the correspon-
dence on both sides was energetic and firm,
but courteous vithal. This is the truth
of the matter.

ere this; but have encountered heavy wea-
ther. Shall be there soon"
This is the third or fourth discovery of
Booths whereabouts since the death of
Lincoln, all claiming to come from reliable
sources The government officials, on the
contrary, have asserted that the body pur-
porting to have been that of the murderer.
and which was SO mysteriously disposed
Of. and from which the diary about which
so much has been said was taken, was iden-
tilted by parties in Washington beyond
the shadow Of doubt. And yet, it must
be acknowledged, in the face of these as
surances, there are many intelligent peo-
pie in the country who believe that Booth
is not dead. This last revelation of evil
liam Frazer, E. r. s." coming as it does
from a source so respectable, will no doubt
strengthen the conviction that he is not
dead. Professor Prayer concludes his let
ter bv SAYING hus, it seems, has Cap
tain W. Martin Tolbert won another large
sum Of money upon this most mysterious
of all the mysteries of the nineteenth cen
fury, leaving no doubt in the mind of any
thinking person that J. Wilkes Booth is
alive"

A Deplorable Tragedy at Dublin
DeDOt

A deplorable tragedy occurred at Dub
lin depot, on Tuesday, by which an esti-
mable young man named Charles Stewart
was killed by Rev. Robert Gray, through
mistake. The Lynchburg News, Of Fri
day, says:
It seems that some days since negro
man, in the employ of Mrs. David MEGA
vock, was discharged by her son on ac-
count Of some gross misconduct, and had
been heard to make repeated threats that
he would kill young McGavock on sight
During the day, Tuesday, the negro met
Young Stewart at or near Dublin, and
charging him with having been implicated
in his discharge, drew pistol and was
about to use it, when Stewart, who was
unarmed, ran of to prevent being shot.
The negro was pursuing him. when
young McGavock, who had been out hunt
ing, came along on his way home, and
placing himself in the negroes path, at
tempted to stop him with his gun, for this
purpose, using the muzzle in pushing him
back. During the struggle the gun was
accidentally discharged, the load entering
the Negroes shoulder, and inficting an ug-
ly, but by no means serious wound
This stopped the pursuit, and it was
thought the affair was ended
AT nightfall, however the wounded me-
gro, and crowd of others from Dublin
and the neighborhood, gathered at Dublin,
many Of them armed, and made prepara-
ton to attack and kill young McGavock
at his mothers house near by. Before
the plot was executed, however, young
Stewart heard of it, and believing young
McCaTock was ignorant Of his danger,
started to inform him of the peril in which
he stood. It appears that he had already
been warned, and that he and Mr.. GRAY
who was also an occupant Of the house.
were prepared for the emergency.
When Stewart arrived at the house, he
tapped at the window from the outside
with the muzzle Of his gun, to awaken the
inmates, and Mr.. Gray seeing him, and
being fully convinced that it was one of
the negroes endeavoring to shoot into the
room, raised bis pistol and fired, with too
fatal precision, the ball penetrating young
Stewards neck, causing his death almost
instantly.
The negroes soon after went to the
place, but finding the family thoroughly
prepared to defend themselves, retreated
without making an attack, thus fortunate
" further blood-shed being averted

The dauonter Of Robert M. BURG

The daughter Of Robert NJ. Burget,
near Wabash, Indiana, few days ago,
was terribly burned by the explosion Of a
can of coal oil. It is the old story-an at
tempt to fill with coal oil burning lamp.
When the oil began to run the gas took
fire and produced an explosion, bursting
the can and covering the girl with burn
ing oil. A young man who was near I'M
mediately threw upon her bucket Of wa
ter, and in a short time the fire was ex-
tinguished, but not until she was so horri-
