INTOLERANCE IN SPAIN.
How Pr0tesfaBtS were Buried-FHVOr-
able Change of Sentiment.

Among the changes introduced
by the recent revolution in Spain,
none is of more interest to other
nations than the removal of the re-
strictions placed upon the burial
of deceased foreigners. Heretofore
Spain was not an agreeable eoun-
try to die in. The English resi-
dents in Spanish seaport towns had
to be buried in the sands below
highwater mark, and in the inland
towns no rest to the dead foreigner
was allowed in either cOnsecrated
or unconsecrated ground. For
many years the members of the
British Legation had to be inferred
beneath the stalls of an English
livery stable, and it is reported that
the body of young attache was,
some time ago, torn up from
it's resting place in a lonely field,
where it had previously been de-
posted in secret. The savage peas
antry seized the remains of the for
eigner and threw them ignomin-
iously into a ditch by the roadside,
whence they were removed to the
livery stable At last, as a great
favor, Holy Field was allowed
to be established at Carabanchel, a
small village three miles south of
Madrid, but no one, except the
English friends of the deceased,
were allowed to be present, guards
being stationed to prevent the APP
proach of the Spaniards. The Lon
don Times, of December 2, how
ever, contains a letter giving an in
teresting account of the funeral ser
vices at the burial of young Eng
lish engineer, who had for Eve years
been employed on the Henares ca
nal. This gentleman had endeared
himself to the workmen under his
supervision, and for the first time
in the history of Spain, strictly
English Church service was at
tended by a mixed congregation,
protesting different faiths. The
change in the treatment of foreign
ers is encouraging, as it shows
that Spain is emerging from
that condition of stolid inditfer-
ence to the advance of civil
ization which has made it's name a
by-word and reproach, as the EN-
blem of contented ignorance.

TIE CLOTHIN WALL STREET.

A New lOrk correspondent makes this
strange revelation Rev. Luther G.
Bingham has been arrested for buying
gold and paying for it with a check,
when he had no money in the bank.
There is a great temptation for clergy
men Of small means TO exc out liveli-
hood by dabbling in stocks. The fact
that few men have turned this to good
account has induced others to try their
hand in the same matter. One of our
clergymen gave a princely wedding to
his daughter, he having made a quarter
of million in successful stock operations
in the street. Another city clergyman,
who drives one of the fastest teams on
the road, has been equally successful
though three years ago his credit was low
enough Allured by such examples, an
other city pastor has left his charge for
Wall street, and his case is before che
Presbytery for abandoning the ministry.
Mr. Bingham has followed his unwise ex-
ample. lie was early identified with the
daily Fulton street meeting. For many
years he wrote reports Of the meeting lOI
the Observer and IHtelligeHcer. lie
abandoned his sacred calling for stock
| speculation, and under q strong tcmpta.
ton be finds himself arrested by the law
and at the age of seventy>eight years
filings away the reputation of whole

THE PLAINS.
Arrival of Sherida0's Forces at Fort
Cobb.

| Arrival of Sherida0's Forces at Fort
Cobb.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-Gen. Sherman has
received letter from Gen. Sheridan dated
Fort Cobb, December 10, noting his arri-
val at that post the day previous, with Gen
Custar's 9TH cavalry and 10 companies of
the 18th Kansas cavalry, in all about l,
500 men,. Sheridan spent one day on Gus
tar's battlefield and found the bodies of
Maj. Elliott and sixteen soldieas; also the
bodies of Mrs. BIim and child, whites cap
tured in the Indian camp. Mrs. Blim
had been shot through the forehead and
the child's brains dashed out against tree
Gen. Sheridan followed an Indian trail
down the 0ushita seventy-six miles, when
he came TO a camp of Kiowas, who met
him with letter from Gen. Hazan, which
declared them TO be friendly. Sheridan
required the Indians 10 accompany him 10
Fort Cobb, but discovered while travelling
10 that point that they were sending their
families 10 the Oushila Mountains. Sue-
piciOus that they we're attempting 10 de-
ceive him, he took Salona and Live Wolf
aud notified them that h. would hold them
IS hotages, and il all the Kiowas did not
come to Fort Cobb be would hang them.
General Sheridan says the Indians re-
alize now, for the frat time, that winter
will not compel US to make truce with
them, and adds, the Indians have been en-
gagged in war all the time, and have been
playing fast and loose. They have at
tempted to brow-beat General Hazen since
be came to Fort Cobb, but ! will take the
starch out of them before leave them.
The Cheyennes, Arapahoes and one band
of the Comanches, with fifty lodges Of the
Kiowas are now at the Ouachita Mountains.
Sheridan, after consultation with General
Hazen, propose, when the Kiowas come in
TO punish those who are known to have
been concerned in personal acts of murder,
he will send Black Kettles sister out to
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes and COM
mand them TO come in and submit TO like
treatment, If they refuse TO come in, he
will carry on the war against them in the
Ouachita Mountains,
lie will leave with Gen Hazen suf-
fcent force TO enable him TO control the
Indians now at Fort Cobb, and such others
a. may come 10 there During the march
from Camp Supply the weather and snow
was very severe, but the health Of the
Command was good, only two men of the
9Th Cavalry, aud six of the 18th Kansas,
being sick. Ia a private letter to Ger.
Sheman, dated one day later, Sheridan
says the KioWas are coming in, and that
the Cheyennes have been very humble
since their punishment by Gen. Custer,
and that he has no doubt but the ArapO-
hoes will slsO come in,surrender, and abide
by his terms, after which be has 10 fears Of
their renewing their hostilities.

A NEW JERSEY BORGIA.
Death bed Confession of q MurJeress
She POIsOns Her Husband, Child
and FaIher-in-IHW.

The township of Lafayette, Sussex
county, New Jersey, is considerably ex-
cited at the present time over some reve-
latiOns made by a woman named White,
Just previous to her dissolution, which
took place last Saturday The particu,
lars other confession are horrible in the
extreme, and, if true, would indicate that
the ferociOus spirit of Lucretia BOrgia has
found another shocking parallel in these
latter days. Our correspondent writes
u3 that the woman White, who was a
widow, fell a victim to consumption.
Being a member of the Methodist Church,
she sent for some of her fellow members
t. attend her in her dying hour, and
stated to them that about seven years
ago she poisoned her infant child, SO that
it died. A year OF so after she adminis-
tered poison to her husband father, and
he died toe. Later still, on the return of
her husband from the army, she dealt to
him also fatal potion, and he, too,
passed into the spirit land The misers
able woman has borne good character,
as do also her relatives. They are poor
people. The only reason assigned for
making this dying declaration is that she
desired to rid her cOnsc ence of this i'm
mense load of crime prior to her death.
These statements were made to our cor
respondent by one of the attendants at
| the death-bed OF the self accused murde.
ress. 1t is not little singular that her
acknowledged acts have never before
leaked out She was perfectly sane up
t. the time of her cease.-Neudrh

THE DEVIL UNLOOSED In AR.
KANSAS.
DOingS Of ClaytOn'S Militia In
Crittenden County.
They FOrtify Themselves al
Marion.
Stores and Private Houses
Sacked and Robbed.
Prominent Citizens Arrested.

From one source an another we haJ Q
managed to obtain pretty much all the
particulars of the doings of Clayton's
black militia, in Crittenden county, up to
the present time. The force altogether
is estimated to be about 400 strong-all
negroes and uniformed, except the CONS
manding officer and adjutant. A portion
OF them came on the train from Madison,
and the balance came in over the military
road, ria Blacklist Ferry. They re-
NAMED but short time in Hopefield,
and then took possession of Marion,
about four or five miles from Mound
City.
They have there made their headquar-
ters in the old Jail, around which they
are throwing up redoubt, and have
posted pickets along the road leading to
town, as if apprehensive of an attack.
The officer in command announces that
he is there only to arrest and punish per-
sons accused Of crime, and says that he
will not allow his men to rob and plum
der. OF course this means nothing, for
the first thing the seOundrels did on en-
tering the town, was to sack all the stores,
and by this time the private dwellings
have suffered the same fate. They broke .
into Rey's drinking saloon, and after fin-
ishing his stock on hand demolished
everything. Thorne's and Meetings.
stores were Quilted and robbed of every
thing. About dozen of them met DIR.
Peters on his way to Marion, presented
pistols and robbed him of everything in
his wagon. They have arrested and now
have in Jail a number Of prominent citi-
zens, well known in Memphis, among
them Major Harvey, Mr.. Crump, Mr..
TIGER, Mr.. Wollord and a young lawyer
whose name was unknown to our inform
ant. Maj. Harvey was arrested while
riding along the road on fine horse be-
longing to Mr.. Berry, and he was COM
PEELED to dismount and walk through the
deep mud, while big buck negro took
his place in the saddle.
The condition Of the scared and de-
fenseless population is most miserable. |
The deepest CONSERVATION and alarm
prevail among them. The men are said
to be fleeing and hiding away in the
sWamps, and those of the women and
children who are left behind, are thus ex-
posed to the insults and outrages of the
armed negro gangs who are patroling the |
country round about for plumber.
1t is stated that portion Of this force |
S soon to start for Osceola, and the |
people were making hasty preparations
N thats town and neighborheod to leave
their homes.
The consequences of this act Of the
villain who calls himself Governor of
in arming these bands Of ne>
yroes and sending them to murder and
rob the peaceful inhabitants, are not only
disastrous to the parties who suffer
directly, but to the whole State. Just at
the time when every hand is needed in
the cotton fields, this large force is
drawn off and muskets thrust into their
hands, that civil war, which is sure to
follow, may rage throughout the State, to
crafty Governor" ClaytOn's hatred and
fiendish thirst for blood. MemphiS Ap-
peal, Dec. 81.
