A Young Wife Deserted ofan Arrant
HypoCrite.

Correspondence Of tho Hartford Couraut.
BHDGFPORT, Conn, Jan. 10.
The sudden disappearance Of Mr.. II. Cliff
ford, gentleman engaged in the tailoring
and clothing business in State street, creates
considerable interest. Clifford is an Eng.
lishman, who came to this country about
three years ago, and has been since that
time employed In Newton, about fifteen
miles north of here, IA a practical tailor.
While he resided in Newton he took an act
i've part in ell matters pertaining to the
church, the cause Of temperance, &c. In
fact his general intelligence and good ad.
dress gained him many friends and consid.
cradle influence in that quiet country
town.
In the month of June last, Clifford ro
| moved to Bridgeport and commenced bus.
| mess here. He brought letters from citi
zens of Newport and many others one from
the pastor Of the church. testifying to his &C
tivity and usefulness as Christian man
| Before leaving Newton, Clifford became en-,
gagged to a lady Of that place, and on
Thanksgiving day they were married. The
lady is one Of the most amiabe and excel.
lent to be- found in any place. She came to
until last Friday, when she returned to her
friends in Newton.
1t appears that about three weeks since,
Clifford persuaded his wife to place in bis
hands some government bonds belonging to
her, amounting to $l,iO0. This secured,
and all that could be collected from his
creditors having been called in, he went to
New York on Monday of last week, ostensi.
bly, to purchase goods for the establishment
OF which he was the principal owner. Since
then, nothing has been heard from
him. The impression is that he has left the
country and returned to England. His goods
in the store were Immediately seized and the
whole establishment cleared out most effect
uaIly. From all appearances the whole
movement was a deepaid plan to get pos.
session Of the property Of Others by means the

Clifford was q teacher in the Bethesda
Mission Sunday school, was recently Worthy
Patriarch of the division of the Sons Of
Temperance in this city, and enjoyed the
the confidence Of all who knew him. 1t il

NEw YORE, Jan. 30.--The n. Y. Herald's
Richmond special says: A dispatch from
Goldsboro, 4. c., states that the greatest
excitement prevails at klnston in conse'
auencc Of the lynching Of five prisoners
there on Saturday night. A person near
the scene heard the discharging Of the PTS.
tolls as the prisoners were shot on the bridge,
and heavy spiashes of the bodies as they
we're thrown into the river. kinston is in
state Of siege by the negroes Of the sur
rounding country, who threaten 10 liberate
the remaining prisoners in jail and burn the
town. The whites are all armed with such
weapons as are at their command, guarding
their homes. Pickets are stationed in the
suburbs at night
Another horrible outrage occurred in
Duplin county. A white man who fired up
on a party Of negroes who were attempting
to violate the persons Of some young ladies',
was murdered ia his house the following
night his body was cut in halves and hung
up in the room in which he slept. No ar
rests have been made in either Of these cases.
Lawlessness and anarchy exist in this en-.
tire section Of the country to such an extent
rs to Justify the calling out and arming Of
the militia by the governor The civil au'
thorities are pOwerless to suppress this fear.

Tho Davenport Subscriptions to the Peoria

Noticing a report given in tho Davenport

drawn. Only the sum Of $26 900, all told,
was subscribed in that city, and all but 81.
600 Of it was subscribed before the Moline
route was talked Of. There is not town
along the whole line Of tho road but has
done better than Davenport, and that, too,
without having half the interest in tho road
that Davenport and Rock Island have, even
by the Coal Valley route. II the spirit Of
our Davenport cotemporary bo taken as an
indoX of the sentiment of the people of that
city, il would seem as II they expected the
Peoria & Rock Island railway was 10 run

seems as If they expected the company

railway Davenport was TO get 'Something

Whatever It was happy consciousness o!

that he became suddenly possessed of resolu.
ton 10 keep 20 himself an episode in the his.
tory Of the war which he had the foresight TO
believe might be productive of personal
advantage, it is msnitestly not for US TO say:
there is probably not one man of the fol.
lowers, and few among the leaders, of his
party who does not to-day envy him the luck
that goes with the part he played in so i'm,
portant an affair. But if Banks extends
his lease by this recent disclosure, Stanton,
on his part, receives his warning. People
will generally say, in the current phrase,
tina! he played that thing once to often. His
fate has oyeUaken him at last. We see
Oarnot IN the real undress of his character.
Fen, Grant is able 10 realise how nearly his
own fortune came 10 be that of Gen. Ne
CleIlan, that the unquiet ambition Of the
man who superseded Mcclellan, imprisoned

nore OF patriots and brave men, might be
satlated 1t is the same Stanton who nlsved
doup!e with Grant himself and gave the
latter the credit Of il, al the time of the
war department imbroghc, the same who
was proclaimed martyr TO executive
tyranny BY men who knew his natore then
as well as they know it now. This disclos
uEe does not at ell surprise US, however
stanton, backed by the fierce radical element
OF the time, sought to rule or ruin every
where, Mcclellan was sacrificed TO that very
power, Stanton performing the act. And
Grant was az sureto follow. Nothing stood
between him and this relentless power in the
government but Banks. The revelation
liiumlnates the strange history of those crit
cal days, aud suggests how much sooner the
war might have been ended bu, for the tur.
