OUR CARpET-BAG GOVERNOR EXPLAINS TO
HIS OWN SATISFACTION.

We find the annexed article, from the Paris
Free Kentuchian, going the rounds Of the press
A PoLIT1oAL MARTYR-Gov. ScoTT, OF SoUTH
CAROLINA. EXPLAINS Why HE Is GovERNoR--Be-
ing introduced, while in Cincinnati, TO the gentle
man who signs himself above, and being I'M
pressed with his fine appearance and pleasant
manners, we wondered why man who comPorteu
himself so agreeably could find the amount OF
pure brass necessary to fit him for the Positlon Oh
carpet bag Governor. To satisfy our curiosity on
this point we approached the subject as delicatey
as possible, and after politely explaining the "a
yorable impression he had made upon our mind,
we said 10 him:
Now, Governor, we would really like to know
how you, native of Pennsylvania and citizen
of Ohio, can have the cheek-excuse the slang
phrase but it is expressive and not intended TO
ofend-to set yourself up as Governor OF fhe
proud, arisocratic State of South Carolina, and
wear the honors and emoluments OF the ofhce
without blushng"
"Well," was the answer, 81 have no DOUBT that
from YOUR standpoint must appear in most un-
enviable ight-very much like q scoundrel, in
fact. But this is my side of the story was
taken to South Carolina against my will, having
been captured during the war. liked the State,
and at the close of the war l invested largely IN
real estate and settled among the Carolinians l
did not desire the position of Governor, and was
induced to take it only by the earnest ente eaty Of
many of the native citizens, who merely preferred
me to other carpet-baggers. am now bona ;tde
citizen of the State, and am here to advance her
interests by securing. if possible, another railroad
connection with the North and West"
1t will surprise the decent people of South Car.
olina to know that "many Of the native citizens"
earnestly entreated the modest and Immaculate
Scorr to take the position Of Governor posi-
tion evidently going a-beggng, according to his
side of the story. 1t will further surprise them
thot he ''invcsted largely in real estate at the
close Of the war They will likewise be astonish-
ed to learn that 'he did not desire the position of
Governor" According to the other side of the
stery, which has never been successfully contra
dicted, Coz. Scorr sought the nomination, and
even went so far as to- spend hundreds of dollars
to secure this boon from the native negroes and
renegades who composed largely the nominating
caucus up to that time, far We have learn
cd, he had never Invested one dollar in real es-
tate, and has since only bought some cheap prop
erty with the pickings of his Office. As to the
native citizens, only scalawags and negroes have
ever owned 'rhe soft impeachment"

THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

The Atlanta Intenyenc:r of last Saturday pub
fishes telegram dated Cincinnati, June 4, to the
effect that the City Council had adopted Chatta-
nooga by an unanimous vote, as the terminus OF
the proposed Southern railroad. AS the Charles
ton Meas remarks this decision is not final, as the
action of the Council must be submitted 10 the
people for approval. 1t is probable, however, that
tbe pressure of private interests will cause the
Chattanooga route TO be permanently adopted
This action upon the part of Cincinnati, al
though unexpected from her ancient promises, will
not afest unfavorably delay The completion of
,he Blue Ridge Railroad. Within the last week,
assumaces have been given that Louisville will st
once extend her system Of railway to the Tennes-
see line liz the direction of Knoxville, and that the
Knoxville and Kentucky Road will connect with
louisville in eighteen or twenty months. thus af-
for6ing connection with Louisville andCineinnati.

From the n. Y. Herald.
"The demand for money arose from the calling in
OF loans by savings banks and other institutions AID
corporations who have to meet the payment of in
tercst falling due with the advent Of the new year
but it is strongly suspected that the activity was
aggravated by artificial influences for the purpose
of assisting the speculative movements in stocks
The time for brief bear attack seems to have
been well chosen, and the market is quite sensitive
to outside pressure. However, 1t Is the general
impression that the sringeucy cannot last over the
middle OF next week, by which time the money now
in motion will have settled back again into bank
Again the Government Will diSburse nearly three
and half millions of currency before the end of

rate call was seven per cent gOld but the eXcep
tions quite frequent at seven, currency, which
was the rate among the Government dealers. After
the close OF banking hours some taTdy borrowers
were compelled to pay small commissions in addi-
ton TO the legal rate.
"The same causes were also operative for a de-
cline in gold, which sold down to 1l93i, holders
being discouraged by the high carrying rate, and
selling rather than keep over under the adverse
state of the money market. The highest price was
20 and the great bulk Of sales took place the in
teTnediate figure The market dull, but strong,
at the lower quotations. Here. in the stock mar
ket, there was good deal OF buying to cover out
standing Speculative sales. For carrying the rate
ranged from seven per cent to the same figure in
gold and to 1-32d OF one per cent. per diem The
last recorded rate WAS seven gold.
''The Government bought two millions of bonds
offerings comprised a total OF only two and half
millions, which fact strengthened the previously
dropping market, aud prices at The afternoon board
were at the highest OF the day. Later the market
again went or under the activity in money and in
sympathy with the general decline in gold and
or bonds to-day which instalment will be for the

The New York Telegram of last evening has
this doubtless true story
Last night our Investigating reporter paid a
visit to disemboaied spirits ut the residence of
medium in Mott street. between Broome and
Grand. He was introduced into the SednCe
chamber by an English spiritual missionary and
took his seat among several others, who were
sitting silently before partially open stove. A
red kerosene lamp at half-cock shed a sickening
light on their faces. In a corner of the apart
ment stood n small deal cradle, in which re-
posed the sleeping carcase OF large black cat,
and Immediately facing it was the burly form OF
Il mddle-aged man, who seemed to take com
fort in keeping vigil over the slumbers Of the
animal. The monotony was relieved OCCASION
ally by the entrance of male or female, until
haif-past 8 O'Clock, when n salyo of spectral
sighs heraded the arrival of
The ''Meium."
She came into the room without ceremony,
closed the stove door, turned down the lamp,
and then took chair at the head of a heavy
mahogany table. She was stout made, well de-
veloped, and wore her hair in the prevailing
fashion. All the others present closed in round
the table at her bidding, and for about five
minutes silence like that of the grave was
maintained Then the table moved towards the
English missionary, and the medium said she
saw the name "Mary" written in gold letters
above her head.
After the table oscllated few minutes it
came to stand STILL and the medium went
through all the agony of one who was dying
from the effects of wound in the abdomen.
Her facial contortons were fearful to look upon,
and she moaned aud groaned loud enough to be
heard all over the house Al length the suffering
ceased and
The Spirit Of A. ID. Richardson
took complete control OF the medium. The
first act of the defunct journalist was to take
our reporter by both hands and shake them
warmly. Then the lips of the medium parted,
