S--
THE LEG1sLATURE.-Very little of
public interest transpired in the Le-
glslature yesterday. In the Senate,
the consideration of the bill "to re-.
enact certain Acts lending the name
and credit of the State to the Green
vile and Columbia Railroad Compa-
ny, and to validate the Acts of said
Company Hereunder" was post
poned for three weeks.
Corbin gave notice OF n bill $40
regulate the manner of settling and
determining obligations contracted in
Confederate currency" which is un-
derstood to provide that all debts
contracted during the war, for which
notes were given, shall be settled on
the basis of the ruling rate of gold
at the time.
The report of the Committee on
Public Buildings, adverse to fitting
up the State House for the use of the
General Assembly, was adopted.
The session of the House was con-
sumed chiefly in debating the bill
proposing to create the County of
Aiken out of parcels of Edgefield,
Barnwell, Lexington and Orangeburg
Counties. The vote will be taken
this morning under the operation of
the previous question, and will proba
bly, result in the defeat Of the bill.

Grant and His Friends.

From Col Forney's Letters the Philadelphia Press.
Grant is in nothing more accepta-
bic than in his knowledge of charac-
ter. No great military leader has ev-
er had more devoted friends among
his associates and subordinates.-
There are no yoluminous letters on
file IN the Department complaining
either of Lis civil superiors or military
comrades. When ne had to censure
or dismiss it was done without pas
sion or parade. He never stood on
punctilio while commanding a strict
and instant obedience. He parted
from few Of those with whom he be-
gan his unexampled career. The
friend Of Governor Yates and Mr.
f. :. Washburne at the beginning of
the war, he 5 their friend now All
his West Point companions speak
well of him and those who served
with him IN Mexico remember him
r,ith respect. Though he had hard
ships TO endure during the rebellion,
and envies to encounter, and enmities
to surmont, few words Of recrimina-
tion have fallen from him. Even the
Blair family, who have scolded every
body through four years of their bi-
Zarre politics. have not attacked him
All his Generals gather around him
like brothers, and there IS not one Of
the corporal's guard Of Brigadiers
who have made sort Of commercial
/ engagement TO vote against him, that
/ does not make it a point 10 reserve a
record Of compliments to Grant. OF
all the public men N the country, the
only one that ever tried TO get Grant
into a personal quarrel, is Andrew
/ Johnson; and this he did after a
long and ms duous effort to get him
/ into his tolls But a. J. failed in
/ this as completely as when he under
+ took to restore the rebellion.

about sixteen years. During his first

THE WINoNA REPUBLICAN relates
the following remarkable story:
At Owatonna resided a milliner.
! Mrs. Myrick, who was the mother
Of young and fascinating daughter
Of about sixteen. y very respectable
young man, named Odel. had been
paying the daughter attention for
some time, and it was currently re-
ported and believed that they were
engaged Matters stood thus when a
man from Chicago, or some city furth-
er east, to whom Mrs. Myrick was
indebted IN the sum of $4,000. came
to Owatonna and made the acquaint-
ance Of Miss Myrick. He no sooner
saw her han he determined to possess
her, and beng a man unscrupulous as
to what means he employed, he offered
Mrs Myrick to release her from her
obligation of $4,000 if she would give
him her daughter. Whether she re-
quired much urging or not is not
known, but she finally acceded to the
proposition. There was another party.
to be consulted however The Young
and innocent girl snrunk from the idea
of being sold-bartered for a price-and
that to man whose character seemed
anything but fair, and whose purpose
appeared colored with dishonor. She
FASTENED to her lover with the tale,
and they promptly decided to elude
the vigilance of the mother and
thwart her miserable designs By a
speedy marriage. They took the first
train going east, and were soon, as
they supposed, beyond the Iowa line,
but unfortunately they alighted from
the cars sooner than they intended,
and they were obliged to take car
riage aud drive to Cresco. This
delay gave the mother time to over
take them. She telegraphed to
! Cresco and had them arrested, and
after her arrival, with her miserable
partner in the disgraceful bargain, a
mock trial was had and Odell was
held IN custody at her request until
she got started home with her daught-
er. But, instead of going to Owaton-
ma the party took the eastward bound
train. The young girl was almost
frantic, and, it is said, attempted to
leap from the train. 1t is also reported
that she attempted to jump overheard
from the boat at Prairie du Chen
The young man returned to Owatonna
with his father. The whereabouts of
Mrs. Myrick, her daughter, and the
man who sought to have possession Of
her, are not now known"
