WADE HAMPTON ON TIE FREEDMEN.-
There is State Fair now in progress at
Macon, Georgia, and it appca ars to be at-
tended with considerable success. The
agricultural and labor interests of the
State are largely represented there, and
they are not merely confined to Georgia,
but extend over all the Southern States
Many of these Fairs have been held of
late, and the effect has been generally
good, predicting largely improved con-
ditlon Of the whole South and showing
the advance made in material progress
since the disastrous times of the civil
war. Gen. Hampton, who has frequent
ly exhibited his wise appreciation of the
existing condition of things, and has
given many sensible ideas concerning the
new relations between the North and the
South, expressed himself with some
force on the question of treating the
freedmen, for the mutual benefit Of that
class and of the Southern States also.
lie urged the necessity Of cultivating n
patriarchal and friendly feeling with the
colored freedmen, and the improvement
OF their moral and intellectual status.
This Is what the South requires. The
Southern people know that the freedmen
are there among them; that they are
there by law established either as an in.
cubns TO be carried on the shoulders of
Southern industry or an clement to be
employed for its benefit. Wade Hamp-
ton evidently sees the matter in this light,
and he advises his people well upon this
subject. The South is gradually reliev-
ing itself from the effects of the late war.
and perhaps there are no means which it
can employ better calculated to assist the
issue than the judicious use of the negro
element, as suggested by Wade Hamp-
ton. n.-NeT Fork Herald

The virginia Legislature.

The annexed, from the Richmond cor
respondent of the Petersburg index, in
dicates that Gen. Candy gives wider
and more liberal Interpretation to Attor-
ney General Hoar's opinion on the Vir-
ginia test oath case than had heretofore
been supposed justi6able
"In conversation with a gentleman
yesterday, General Candy declared that
he construed the opinion of Mr.. Hoar to
mean that the test-oath should neither
be exacted of the Legislature now nor at
anu time hereafter; that it wonld be en- :
tirely optional with the Legislature to
elect Senator'S at their first meeting, as
the only preliminary to admission was
the adoption. of the Fifteenth Amend
ment and the organization of the State
Government; that the Legislature might
elec. temporary or permanent officers as
they thought proper, and that he saw no
objection to the appointment of standing
committees, as they would be merely de-
Lucrative bodies, capable of discussing
matters of interest, drafting of bills, and
other business as private individuals or
political caucuses.' Should the Virginia
Constitution not be acceptable to Con-
gress, the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment will be of no effect of
course. There are three seats contested,
Gen. Candy says, but none of the claim
ants have strong supporting evidence.
This 10 matter for the attention of the
Legislature itself, and it will be referred
to them at the proper time.

for her, or the young men. liked her toe

moved to another hotel, where she won
the good will of everybody, and especially
of susceptible steambostmsn. The
widow had slight attack of sickness
and the steamboatman was most stten.
tive and kind. His good will deepened
into love. He found that he could not
live without the widow, so he offered her
: his hand she had his heart already. The
| hand she accepted, and within fortnight
the happy pair were married. There
were the customary cakes and wine and
jollity and general Fluctuations. Many
envied the lucky steamboatman.
On the very day after the wedding the
steamboatman was obliged to start on a
trip. He wanted his bride to accompany
him on bridal tour on the boat, but she
declared that this was impossible, as she
had business matters that must be at
tended to, and hoped to meet the guar
dian of her infancy. So the fond hus-
band con6ded his wife to the special care
of the hotel folks, gave her his money and
bid her good-by. The next day the
widows business compelled her to 20 out
to Mayfeld.
AT the hotel had been young Ohioan,
who seemed little fast, but had not at
tracted much attention. He had been
somewhat smitten with the widow, and
she had given him soma reason to believe
that his feelings were reciprocated.
Soon after the widow went out to May
field it was discovered that the young
0hioan was also missing, and it was not
long until some one reported that the
Mississippi widow and the young Ohioan
had been seen together in the cars, going
toward Memphis. She had found her real
affinity. He had carried off the steam
bCatman's wife. Nothing has since been
heard of them, and it. dos't clearly ap-
pear how the bereaved husband is to
make an Enoch Arden of himself.
The affair has caused a good deal of
talk, and it is rumored that the widow
has played the same once before in Mem.
phis.
The Ohioan is q far more congenisl
mate than the honest steamboatman
would be. On the day that the Ohioan
levanted, he borrowed twenty-nine dol
lars of gentleman from North Carolina,
to bet on very sure thing which didn't
turn out to be 80 sure as was expected,
whereby the North Carolina gentleman's
money WAS lost TO stranger, VINO, SUBJ
sequently, was seen sharing with the
Ohlosn, who couldn't, however, pay back
what he had borrowed, and most proba-
bly, never will, as he has admitted to diff
ferent parties who knew somewhat of his
history, that during the war he was nine
times a bounty-jumper at heavy ex-
pense to Dayton, Columbus, Indianspo-
lis, Lafayette and other places. From
all that can be learned, the widow from
is much better suited than
she would have been with her worthy |
and unsuspecting husband, who proposes
to go to Memphis to hunt up the fugi

"Old Hickory :" = "Reminiscences of
His Last Days.

To the Editors cf the Cincinnati Enquirer.
During the Administration OF GeHeral
jackson as President OF the United
States, it will be remembered that on one
Sunday, while passing out from the east
front Of the Capitol where he had been in
attendance at the funeral of member of
Congress, an insane individual, standing
within few feet of the old hero, snapped
a pistol at him, and was instantly ar
rested. The news spread like wild-fre
over every portion OF the United States,
and various were the comments made BY
all parties upon the fortunately unsuc-
cessiul attempt upon the life of the head
of the Nation. Among others which the
writer Of this heard was the remarks
made in a country postoftice when the
news arrived, and the political friends Of
General Jackson wera rejoicing in the
escape of the head of their party, and at
tributing his safety to the Intervention of

Although subsequent Investigation
proved, beyond all doubt or cavil, that
this attempt was but the mad freak of an
insane individual, who was afterward
properly cared for, yet the subject of it
copld never be convinced that he had
not been employed by some party to as
sassinate him, and did not hesitate to
avow openly that Senator Poindexter,
of Mississippi, lifelong opponent, who
never lost an opportunity to assail the
President and his policy in his place in
the Senate, had employed this man to
take his life. So bitter was he in his de-
