In this case plaintiff sues for the recovery
Of certain notes Of the aggregate amount OF
$4,000. :. -,
The petition alleges that the said notes
and obligations were placed in the hands OF
the defendants by the plaintiff for collec-
ton. on the fifth of February, 1870; that
the plaintiff is informed that the said firm
has collected some of said securities; but
that, although amicably requested, they
! have failed and neglected to account tor

defendants be cited to appear, and be con-
demned, after due hearing, to deliver up
the said notes and obligations, and to ac-
count for any moneys that they may have
collected, and that, in default, they be con-
demned in solido to pay to plaintiff the sum
Of $4,000.

Mills, Basse Relieve.

A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Gazette says:
Clark Mills visited General Grant lately
for the purpose Of getting from him an au-
thentic account of the particulars attending
the surrender Of General Lee, to aid him in
his proposed work of the representation of
that event in bas-relief for his monument
On this point the President said: Lee came
in with q flag Of truce to see on what terms
We would receive his surrender. l stated
the terms, and Lee said: Please reduce
that to writing l took some manifold pa
per and made several copies, and handed
one to him, saying, There, believe that is
about as 1 talked Lee read it and signed
it and then passed it back to me and
signed it. The manifold copies were then
distributed to several generals. The trans
action took place in front of my tent under
q tree, and with little pine table between
U.S."
To a remark of Mr.. Mills, that he had
seen a picture representing the surrender
as having taken place in a room with a
carpeted floor, and in the midst of the staff
officers of both armies, President Grant re-
piled that the picture was got up to show
of the aids
There was formal turning over of the
surrendered forces on the next day, but
the real surrender took place as above
stated.

HORRORS OF THE SEA.


Whnt q Case Against q Brutal Captain il
Bringing Out.
fCincinnati Commercials New York Special.1
The case of Captain Grendle and his first,
second and third mates, of the ship Old
Colony, charged with brutally treating
Raymond Rau and Franco Frank, two Of
his seamen, is under investigation by Com
missioner Shields. They were brought to
the court in carriage from the hospital, as
neither is able to walk any distance. Rau
testified that on the second day out from
Cadiz the mates beat them with a capstan
bar by order of the captain. They whipped
him whether he worked or not. He did not
understand their language; he was fire.
quently beaten with rope.
The first mate set big dog on him; the
animal bit him on the hip and arms, tearing
away tho flesh. Witness exhibited marks
of the dogs teeth to the commissioner. A
large beef board was dashed to his shoulders
like knapsack, and he was compelled to
walk mp and down the deck four hours with
it. An iron bar was put in his mouth and
drawn across his teeth like q bit. 1t was
then tied by the ends around his neck. He
was so starved that he broke open a box of
figs. Nothing was given, by the captains
order, but crackers and water. He was
handcuffed to one of the mast chains. A
chain was passed through the handouts,
and he was fastened to rin4bOlt III the
deck. Sometimes they would hoist him up
to the crOss-trees. He said that he lost all
hope, and attempted to hang himself. He
was kept chained fifteen days, and fed on
bread and water.
Franco Frank described the brutality
practiced upon him. He was also chained
and shanghaed. This is placing piece Of
iron in the mouth and tying it behind the
neck.) His testimony was corroborative of
Rau's. Deputy Marshal Keno testified that
when he went on board to arrest them on
the captains charge Of mutiny, from which
they have since been discharged, they were
confined in a dark, filthy hole left of the
galley. They were SO tightly handcuffed
that their hands were swollen. .Rau had no
shoes, and the few shreds of rags that hung
about him were not enough to cover his
nakedness He could hardly walk. Frank,
also, was crippled.
Augustus Jones, the ships cook, corrobo-
rated the evidence given by Rau and Frank.
He said putty nose was put on his face,
two old shoes, toes up, tied over his ears,
and his face daubed with paint. The COM
missioner will probably hold Captain Gren-
die and his mates for the action of the grand
lury.

from the use of your gas.

saving OF sixtyone and three-qua-ters per cent on
nv gas bills paid to the New Orleans Gas Company
during last winter.
It is but fair to observe that some of my pipes,
which were placed several years ago, are too
small and, notwithstanding this defect, the light
all over my works is us bright and brilliant as
heretofore. Considering the jarring caused by the
working of the machines night and day. and the
immense length of the gas pipes consider the fe
suits obtained more than satisfactory.

Charles Cavaroc, Esq, President Barbarin Gas
Lighting Company:
DEAR SIR-It affords me pleasure to state that the
operation Of the gas machine, for sixteen lights.
put up by your company in my dwelling, has
proved to be entirely satisfactory. Since the
second day of October last the gas has been
burned nightly, at an average of eight (Argand
burners) lights, from early dusk until about eleven
o'clock, and one light all night The light is, in
every respect all that could possibly be desired.
It is perfectly SAFE and is superior to coal gas in
brilhancy, the light being softer and much easier
to read or write by.
The simplicity of the machine is such that any
member Of my family can attend to it during ny
absence
Very respectfully
