ANOTHER STORY ABOUT GEN. THOMAS.
Among the stories told of Gen. Thomas
is one of an incident which occurred when
he and his chief of staff, General Garfield
were inspecting the Notifications of Chat
tanooga in 1858. They heard shout
Hello, mister! You! I want to speak to
you ~ and Gen. Thomas found that he was
the person addressed, by an uncouth, back
woods, East Tennessee soldier. He stop
ped, and the dialogue which ensued was
as follows

The East Tennesseean stopped whiting
for moment, and stared incredulously ; at
length he said "Well, you see, me and
my wife amt that kind"
Even Gen. Thomas grimness was not
proof against the laughter which he rode
away TO conceal, leaving the astonished
soldier without am answer.

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
A Cleveland Rank Robbed of 100000 in
BROAD Daylight.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer of
Friday evening gives the following account
of the bold robbery of the Citizens Saving
and Loan Association in that city, on that
day. The telegraph has already stated that
the thieves were subsequently captured
and the money recovered:
The boldest robbery ever perpetrated in
Cleveland occurred at about l2l to-day, and
il was so far successful that the robber es-
capped with $40, 900 in currency, taken from
the vault of the Citizens Savings and Loan
Association, in Atwater Block. All the
officers and employees of the Bank had
gone to dinner, with the exception of Mr..
&. w. Leper, the cashier, who was alone
in the bank. AT about 12l o'clock q we'll
dressed and gentlemanly-appear fellow
went to the railing and engaged Mr.. Leper
in conversation in regard to depositing
some money in the bank for his sister. The
two stood talking for some five minutes,
when a third party approached from the
direction of the Directors room, and step
ping up to the stranger, said: " 1t is all
satisfactory" AS Mr.. Leper had not seen
this third party enter, he at once suspected
that some robbery had been committed
and started after the men, who were about
leaving. But they were too quick for him,
and escaped before he could overtake them.
Undoubtedly the third person entered
just after, perhaps behind the stranger, and
while the man seen to enter was talking
busily with the cashier, crept around the
counter and sneaked through the Directors
room to the vault, from which he abstract
ed 100000 in money, which had been
placed there in there in the forenoon. He
then walked quietly out and the two
sloped.
The money would have been deposited
in o safe place few minutes later-as soon
as some of the clerks had returned from
dinner so that the cashier could leave. But
the robbers evidently understood theiI
game, and they played it shrewdly.

Frederick Douglass on the Fifteenth Amend
ment.


The following letter from Mr.. Frederick
Douglass read at meeting held in
Rochester on Thursday evening, TO cele-
brate the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment:
ROCHESTER, April 5, 1870.
Jfessrs Bruce and Bd6cock:
GENTLEMEN: sincerely regret that an
appointment of long standing, and one
which / cannot now recall, will make it
out of my power to be present at the City
Hall on Thursday l feel it a positive de-
privation not to be able to join in the home
demonstration of Joy and gratitude. The
revolution wrought in our condition by the
Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution
of the United States, is almost startling,
even to me, view it with something like
amaZement. 1t is truly vast and wonder
full, and when we think through what la
bors, tears, treasures and precious blood 1t
has come we may well contemplate 1t with
solemn JOY Henceforth we live in new
world, breathe new atmosphere, have a
new earth beneath and new sky above
us. Ournew condition brings with us that
which should make us thoughtful as well
as joyful. It sweeps the future of our an
cient shortcomings, and filings us as race
upon our own responsibility. Equal before
the Lord, equal at the ballot-box and at the
jury-boX, the glory or shame of our future
condition Is to fall upon ourselves. Until
now we have had no glory in our future
only one dark ,monotonous chaos-to which
we looked with sad, sullen sense of wrong.
To-day we survey future radiant with
! light and hope. We ,Oere at,Oays nae,a-,aolC
we are citizens and men among men. We
admit the responsibility of our new rela-
ton, but do not shrink from it. We start
| in the race of civilization with many him
ORANGES attaching to us from our past con-
dition-but we shall be sure to shake of
these hindrances in the sad race and sweep
onward in the pathway of improvement,
IN !. manner which will be as gratifying to
our friends as grievous to our enemies.
| Gentlemen, accept my best wishes foI
! the success of your celebration, and believe
me Very truly yours,
| FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

BROOM CORN IN THE SoUTH.-CaptaiI
John G. Turner, of Sumner county, Ten
nessee, sold last week, his crop of broom
corn of last year, at 81 ,04S, the product
of about twenty-five acres, besides about
700 bushels of seed, which is worth one
dollar per bushel, which is within small
fraction of $40 per acre. He thinks that
the seed will pay for the entire expense of
raising the corn. Upon his small farm of
ninety acres, he has cleared the past year,
50 500 over all expenses of production.

The 18th Amendment Defied.

The attention of colored voters is called
to the following:
"SAN FRANCISCO, April sth.--Various
county clerks refuse to muster the colored
men as voters until the opinion of the At
torney General of the State is received.
Over fifty Democratic members of the Leg
islature have addressed a letter to the Clerk
of Sacramento, congratulating him on his
refusal to enroll the colored people as voters
under the Fifteenth Amendment, stating
that they will support him with all the
moral, and, if needed, all the physical force
God has given them.
40 EXCLUSION OF THE COLoRED VOTE IN
CIRCLEvILLE, OHIO, BY DEMOCRATS.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zeHe in Circleville, Ohio, writes as follows:
An atrocious piece ofpolitical scoundrelism
was enacted in this city at the election on
Monday last. On Sunday night the lead
ers of the Democracy met in secret caucus,
and resolved that, under no circumstances,
should the colored vote, amounting to 100,
be received and, to attain that end, with
out legal responsibility, all the Democratic
Councilmen of the several wards, with one
exception, declined serving in order to
make way for judges of neither personal or
pecuniary standing. Let it be observed
that the city is Democratic by 200 ajority;
that all of the Councilmen are of that par
ty, and hence it was easy to organize this
scheme of villainy. Accordingly, on Mon
day, the Republicans found the programme
fully carried out, and the judges in charge
of the polls of such a character as to render
an action of damages impossible. Imme-
diately after the opening of the polls, the
colored men offered their ballots, which
were promptly refused, on the ground that
the judges had no official evidence of the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment,
and also, because, as they alleged, the Con-
stitution and laws of Ohio forbid negroes
from voting here. Yet, Notwithstanding
the fact that the judges committed delibe-
rate perjury, and admitted that they were
obeying the political advice of the leaders,
who were hidden behind the screens, and
were acting as the tools of midnight con-
spirators, we have no remedy at law If q
suit for perjury were commenced, we are
confronted by Democratic prosecuting at
torney, a Democratic grand jury and q
Democratic petit jury, usually composed OF
about ten Democrats to two Republicans.
A suit for damages would share the same
fate; SO that we are so absolutely without
remedy, and liable next fall to have the
same rascality perpetrated again if Con-
gress neglects to interpose by a law of ex-
emplary penalties"
This is the way Democrats regard the
organic law of the land, intended to secure
colored men in their political rights. And
yet in the South the Democracy represent
themselves as the only true friends of the
colored race. The above will show what
they would do if they had the power.

ITEMS ABOUT WoMEN.-A London COR
respondent writes: l think a few social
items may interest you more than the rather
dull politics Of the present season. To be-
gin, then, with the ladies We have new
female NJ. ID. from q Swiss university, and
Miss Elizabeth Garrett has been appointed
one of the visiting physicians of the East
London Children's Hospital, the first APP
pointment of the kind in this countsy.
Mrs. Fawcett, her petite and pretty sister,
has been lecturing in Brighton on female
suffrage and women's rights and wrongs
generally. Allowing women to vote, she
said, would not make divisions in families
it was the difference of opinion and not the
right to vote that made people quarrel; and
in politics, as in religion, people should
marry those with whom they agreed. She
said, ALSO that in her experience, the best
cared for households We're those of the
strongest advocates of women's rights.
Mrs. Ellarshaw, wife of Yorkshire collier,
also gave her notion of woman's rights at
the trial of the cdlliery rioters. When she
heard the "white sheep" coming over the
wall, shouting " Five pounds for a black
sleeps head, she called out to her sleep
ing black sheep dodgers, "All hands to the
pump! the black sheep are here.n They
broke in and set the bed clothes on fire and
stole her money She tried to fire pistol
but ii would not go off. Then she called
her husband and said, al wish you'd fight
for this is the last minute we have TO live
She took n shovel to defend herself for she
thought ii was her latter end and she
might as WE'LL have a go in IA them give
her one. There Is woman who ought tC
have vote If any one has.
