Ok His LAST LEGs.-Our readers
are familiar with the conduct of that
miserable demagogue and cadet-seller,
Covode, and his scalawag supporters,
in cheating Hon. II. d. Foster out Of
his seat in Congress. The Democrats
nominated Mr.. Foster again, but the
old alligator lodged, and his party
nominated a Mr.. Taylor some three
weeks ago. This produced small
rebellion in the doll" camp, and it
ragged until last week, when Taylor
withdrew from tho contest. The con.
ferees reassembled and nominated

We have no material change to
chronicle IN the bloody contest now
going on between the Prussians and
the French. The army Of King Wi.
liam has completely surrounded Paris,
cutting OF all communication with
that city. Thousands Of women and
children, besides the ambassadors Of
England, Austria, Italy aud Turkey,
have left. The fortresses at Stras-
bourg and Metz still hold out, The
bombnrdment of the former is terrific
It is stated that 10000 of Bazaine's
army has succeeded in getting out Of

A RADICAL BIGAMIsT-A nice little
scandal has just been developed in the
Chancery Court here, in regard to c.
G. Bowen, member Of Congress from
the Charleston, S. c., District, which
will probably result in his serving a
term in another sort of public institu.
ton. Previous to 1860 he was mar.
ried, but managed to obtain a divorce
from his wife. In January, 1860, he
was married to Miss Lubetha Park, in
Wakulla, Fla, representing himself to
be a widowcr. lie lived with her ill
April 1867, when he abandoned her
and took up with another woman, and
lived in open adultry with her. Mrs
Bowen camc TO this city shortly after
the abandonment by the honorable
villain, and on the 4th Of February
last filed petition, for a divorce, upon
tho ground Of discrtion, Abandonment,
and adultery. No response was made
and the case still remains on the
docket. Yesterday a despactch was
received here from prominent lawyer
in Atlanta, Ga, stating that Tho Hon.
Mr. Bowen has just married q lady Of
high standing in that Chicago
Times.

accident occurred to Mr.. David Bur

day evening last. Mr.. B., it appears,

feeding his cattle, and after getting
done with the fork be was using, per
mitted it to slide from the NOW TO the
barn floor, the fork assuming an up,
right position, points downward, in
the hay. Mr. b. then proceeded to
descend from the NOW in the same
way, but in doing so came with such
force upon the top Of the fork that tho
handle penetrated The rectum to the
depth of six or eight inches, inficting
as well may be conceived, a most Sc
rious if not dangerous wound, and re-
quiring, It is said, the strength OF a
man to withdraw the fork handle
from his person. Mr. B., we learn, is
now doing well, and the indications
are that be may survive, although full
recovery from an injury Of so delicate
u nature can scarcely be looked for
