JOHN SAVAGE, the celebrated Fenian, now
in California, is a man of mark and enjoys a
high reputation in literary circles. The
Washington Chronicle says ofhim:
As many of our readers are aware. Mr..
Savage is journalist of no limited expert
ence, and has written several volumes, of
which the best is "Ninety-eight and Forty
eight" which, indeed, is spirited histori-
cal account of two memorable periods in
Irish history, with lively sketches of the
principal characters therein. Mr.. Savage
had to fly from Ireland in 1913 for his COM
plicity in the insurrectionary movement of
which Smith O'Brien and Thomas Francis
Meagher were, respectively, the life and
soul: though it failed almost before it had
we'll begun. Mr.. Savage has remained
chief of his Fenian section for the last two
or three years; and whatever he has done or
means to do, takes prudent care not to pro-
claim upon the house-top.

CEINaMEN KILLED on TIE C. P. R. r
Tie Sacramento Record of May 10 tell:
of the following terrible and fatal acct
dent
The eastward bound train which left
the depot at balf-past o'clock yester-
day, ran over and fatally injured two
Cinnamon on the trestle work over
which the train passes before reaching
the round house on Suffer Slough No
one can be found who witnessed the ac-
cident except the companions of the IN
fortunate Cinnamon, and from them no
Ineligible account of the affair could
be gathered. 1t seems that a gang of
Cinnamon were walking along the track,
which at this point is substantially
planked and affords room on either side
of the track for two or three persons to
walk abreast without fear OF injury from
passing trains. But the Cinnamon were
evidently new arrivals, and became so
confused on the appearance of the train
that they had not the presence Of mind
to escape. One had leg and arm near
~ cut off, and received a deep cut on
the head, while the other had leg hor-
ribly crushed. Both were taken to the
round house after the train passed, and
g physician was sent for, but the former
only lived bnt a shorttime. The second
fingered until nearly o'clock, when he
died as he was about to be taken to the
hospital of the railroad employees. The
bodies of the dead Cinnamon were re-
moved 10 Copboie's rooms where the
Coroner will hold an inquest to-day
after the arrival of the engineer who had
charge of the engine which ran over the
Cinnamon.

THE MAZEPPA OF THE HUMBOLDT
MENKEN IN The SHADE.-The town of
Carlin is the home of Susie Raper, the
famous Lady Gay Spanker and Female
Buccaneer of the Sageb-ush. Every
now and then the citizens Of that place
are treated to a little fun by the fair
damsel. Susie has no superior in bold
ness, dash and intrigue, if any equals.
No yellow covered book ever pictured
her equal, if all accounts are true. Su-
sic is as gay and as festive as any female
troubadonr who ever trod The mountains
under the blue sky of Italy. Possessing
n natural and graceful appearance, a
keen eye, quick intellect, tongue that
swings on pivot, she can make up to
represent any character, and has abil-
ity enough to execute any deep laid
scheme. The Mazeppa chief of a gang
ofland pirates, she boasts of her power
TO command, at a moments warning,
their assistance to execute her wishes
however unla wfuI or diabolical they may
be. The experience of the dungeon
taught her no lesson, as it was hoped it
would have done by her lovers. On
Friday last a valuable race horse of
hers, named Humboldt, was attached,
by Constable Brophy, TO satisfy butch
er bill, at Mineral Hill, and brought to
Carlin without her knowledge On
learning the fact, she went to the stable
where the horse was kept, and coaxed
the groomsman to allow her to lead him
into the yard to see if the animal would
recognize her. No sooner was she out
than she sprang astride of Humboldt,
and started for another stable, claiming
possession and threatening the officers
with destruction if they attempted to
retake the horse. She was finally cap
,ured, after a liberal exhibition of her
well moulded extremities 10 the greedy
stree; gazers, in her Menken ride through
the town. The horse was placed in a
secure position, and Susie left with
curses on her lips.-Elko Independent.

Representattv. Government,

Firmly believing in the correctness OF
the principles upon which our Govern
ments. both State and Federal, were
founded, We have never, even in the dark
est hour of the unfortunate past, seen any
hope of relief for us of the South by re-
sort to any Government differing either in
form Or substance from that under which
the American people were enabled to de-
velop 80 rapidly the resources of the coun-
try they inhabit.
we have never for a moment been de.
ceived by the specious advantages alleged
to exist IN strong, consolidated, centra
government, no matter whether called I'm
perial, Monarchical or by any other name
that promised to rid us of the intolerabl.

eral Congress or that of a military despo

French army. This alono. if other proof
were wanting, would show that Prussia
has been the real aggressor in this war.
Bot it demonstrates also the wonderful
cunning of Bismarck, and the equally won
dsrful skill of Won Moltke.
The second cause is the evident want of
preparation of France and the gross inca
pacity and supineness of her administra-
ton. It is no excuse for the Government
to say that they were not aware of the
gigantic preparations of Prussia. II they
did not know they ought to have known.
IF Prussia could send her emissaries to
study out the condition of France, why
could not France do the same? If her
system of reserves was inferior to the
Prussians. why did not the Government
establish a better one? The Emperor's
Government can never wipe away the
stigma of incapacity.
The third cause was bad strategy, al
though perhaps even good strategy might
rot have averted disaster under such un-
favorable conditions.
Whether Napoleon himself or his Minis
ter of war is responsible for the bad direc-
ton given to the armies, for their being
scattered beyond supporting distance, and
for the deficiencies of the intendence, it
matters little to the unfortunate soldiers
who have fallen heroic but useless victims
to administrative incspacity.
Napoleon III, three months ago. re ac-
claimed Emperor of tie French by seven
and half million of votes, and the arbiter

Will the French nation submit to this
terrible defeat McMahon's army has
and Bazaine's army must do
the same inevitably. But after all there
are seven millions of Frenchmen able to
bear arms. Will they submit to see their
dismembered, or will they revive
the thrilling traditions of 1892 and rise
again like AntRus from the ground ? A
few days must determine.

For the Journal.
Chief Justice Pearson,
WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. 81, 1870.

WILMINGTON, N. c., Sept. ID, 1870.
MeSsrs. Editors Having read, and, in
great part approved, your article on Chief
Justice Pearson in this mornings paper, !
respectfully ask to record my entire dis
sent to the following paragraph
"Chief Justice Pearson has, by his course du-
ring the recent Habeas Corpus proceedings, des-
troyed reputation for judicial probity that he
had enjoyed since his accession to the bench -
e is painful to see one who has epj rye the con-
ddence and respect Of a whole people in his old
age so carried away by eagerness for office or
psrtizan feeling, as to destroy, in a few short
weeks, the honorable fruits of an honored life
time"
That Judge Pearson is man of superior
legal mind and great legal attainment, I
do not deny, but 1 am not aware that he
has ever enjoyed reputation for attain
ment of any other kind whatever. And I
most emphatically deny that he ever es-
tablished reputation for judicial probity,
or that he ever enjoyed the confidence and
respect of the 1Oho5e people, or that he has
ever possessed any very honorable fruits
of an honored life time" to be lost by his
recent shameless conduct on the bench. -
He has always been thought to be
corrupt man-entirely too fond of
money to be strictly honest. He has
always been known to be mean
ard contemplate coward in his private
life. He has always been regarded
as coarse, unmannerly and brutal tyrant
on the bench, and, as member of society,
he was rude. unpublished, dogmatical, and
too much given to drunkenness. It is
we'll known of him that he attained his
first elevation to the Supreme Bench. over
the pure and learned Judge Battle, by
means of a system of low electioneering
and improper bargaining which, at that
time, was regarded as disgraceful to the
man and degrading to the office. Such
things had never hitherto been known in
North Carolina. And his brother lawyers
have always said Of him that his opinions
were influenced by his personal interests,
and that his decisions were affected by bis
prejudices and partialities, especially by
his likes and dsikes to the counsel in the
case. Such things never have been said,
and never will be said of q pnre and up
right Judge. I remember we'll that the
fall from Rnf1in to Pearson was thought
to be terrible fall for North Carolina !;
and such it has proved to be.
The fact is, Messrs. Editors, those who
know Judge Pearson have not been SO
much astonished at the qualities of the
heart which be has recently displayed.
They have only wondered that his head
should have been so much at fault and
they feel that he must be closely watched
now and skillfully guarded against. or else
be will pave the way Tor evil times In
North Carolina. TRUTH.

Who GarbIed the Letter

| Senator Abbott has written O letter to
the New York Tribune, sending that paper
copy of the original letter written By
Judge Tourgee to him. Abbott says he
read the letter in his room in Washington
City to Senator Pool, Gov. Holden and
others, and Holden requested a copy. It
was copied from the original by his private
clerk. Abbott had no Idea that it was to
be printed.
From the remarks of the Editor of the
Tribune it appears that Judge Tourgee was
mistaken" in thinking" he wrote four
arsons, instead of fourteen, chow delicate
ly Greeley puts it, and that he is right in
supposing that he wrote 400 to 500
houses broken open," instead of 1900 to
81 600. The Tribune adds: GAS Senator
Abbott claims that he gave Governor Hol-
den q correct copy of the letter. perhaps
the Governor will now tell US who garbled
it before he gave it to our correspondent. "
Poor Tourgee is caught in q falsehood
In fact, his statements were So loose and
false, that we are not surprised that be
forgot whether he wrote four or fourteen
arsons. He probably knew of none, and
it had escaped him how extravagnntly he
had fixed his figures.
But Governor Holden certainly can have
some recollection as 10 house breakings.
The most Impractical of counterfeiters
succeed in multiplying bank bill by add
ing CIPHER to the figures. It requires
little skill and no ingenuity. But avarice
is at the bottom of their rascality. But
Governor Holden resorts to the same crime
depths of shame this man has sunk. The
people look to the Legislature for relief
from this criminal.
The Raleigh Standard comes to the re-
lief of the Governor with the following
lick at Abbott:
We observe q card in the N. Y. Tribune, sign
ed by Jos. O. Abbott. Senator, which by impli-
cation lays the garbling of letter written by
Judge Tourgee at the door of Gov. Holden. We
have given the lie to this statement before and
we repeat it.
The letter. or certified copy given Gov. Holden
by Senator Abbott was handed to Mr.. Bee cher.
the Tribune CORES pOndent, for Information ard
not for publication. However, it appeared in the
Irtoun6. it seema, in mangled form.

Where is the Iriouns's copy Has it been pI e.
served? We should like to the manuscript
and have it identified
Where is the original letter? Senator Abbott
says that he has it, and yet many days ago Gov
Holden wrote to him aud he said he would eend
certified copy, which has never been received.
There is meanness about this thing some
where. We desire to sec it exploded. For the
parties TO this gambling have evidently thus far
combined against the Governor. He can afford
to meet them here or elsewhere, for though they
are birds OF feather, the flock be scattered
altogether.
This is all very good as far as it goes,
but giving the lie to Abbott does not give
the truth to the public. Who garbIed the
letter /?

The VI ar i'm Europe-The Last news

It is frequently said that truth is stranger
than fiction. If any one were inclined to
doubt the truth of this aphorism, the his
tory of the two Napoleons would convince
the most incredulous. Only in May last
the plebiscitum seemed to have strength
ened the Napoleonic dynasty for an in
definite period. Now, not only is that
dynasty hurled into the dust, but the
military prestige of the most warlike
nation on earth is effaced by a defeat
greater than Waterloo. If We investigate
the causes OF the defeat OF the French ar
mics, we perceive at once that they are
threefold. First and foremost, the inno-
walton in the system of warfare 10 which
we have alluded before. Never in modern
times has any nation put upward of a
million of regular soldiers in the field in
the space of one short month. France,
like Austria in 1866, expected to meet an
army of 800. 900 or 400, 900 men, and was
perhaps we'll enough prepared for that.
Bot the PFussian estimates Of their num-
bers is ], liza, 900 men, OF which probably
800, 900 are now on French soil.

have learned some interesting details
of blonde manufacture. [ heard much this
Summer of manufactured blondes, and one
was pointed out to me rs unquesionally a
manufactured article. l believe it vague
ly, but my interest in the matter was
aroused one day recently, when L called
on friend in the city and saw the most
wonderful change in her. Her hair,
week ago light brown, was almost light,
with decided tipge of red in it, asked
explanations, and they were frankly given;
she was undergoing the process of being
changed into blonde. She told me some
thing of the process. The hair is first
shampooned to cleanse it thoroughly of all
grease and dirt, and then liquid is applied
to few strands of hair at a time. The Ii
quid is colorless and warranted harmless Of
course. The hair first turns red and then
gradually grows lighter. My friend logi-
cally and good humoredly replies TO re-
'monstrances, that her hair is her own, and
her husband likes light hair, and that she
is assured by the highest authority among
hair dressers that the application is not
injurious to the hair or health. The pro
cess costs, where long, thick suit of hair
is to be co.ored, $3.50.

spent. We are informed that the State
Central Executive Committee received
only the small sum of three hundred dol
lars to fray all the expenses necessary to
the conduct of the campaign throughout
the State.
The glorious victory, so CALAMITY
wrested from the jaws of defeat. is due not
to leaders or TO politicians, but to the peo-
pie themselves, to the much abused masses,
among whom there was fixed, settled de-
termination to rid themselves OF their
plunderers and oppressors. Silently they
matured their plans and silently they exc
cuted Them Not until the result was an
nounced, not until the long suspense was
ended, did the mighty shout go up that IS
yet ringing throughout the length and
breadth of the land. It was the peoples
work. Without any general party conven-
ton or party platform the people were left
free to form their opinions and in their
own way. The politicians work consisted
in too many instances only in attempts to
distract and divide the people and to pre-
pare for new party combinations and new
party affiliations
So impressed are VIC with these views,
so strengthened is our confidence in the
wisdom and discretion of the people. that
we look with renewed hope to the future.
and begin to indulge in the pleasant dream
that the time may come when we will re-
turn to truly democratic represen tative
based upon written, known,
Constitution.

SAD Acc1DENT-W regret to learn of a
sad accident that occurred on the Will
mington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad,
on Thur.day night last. by which a
very worthy gentleman has been
terribly injured. It seems that the
mail trim viii, left here on taat
night, ran into lot of cattle that were
upon the track, about 7 miles west of Fair
Bluff, and some 70 miles from Whining
ton, the engine and tender, ono baggage
and two freight cars being thrown from
the track. The engine was turned COM
pletely over on its side. Mr.. James John
son, the engineer, was thrown into ditch,
partly filled with water, and his left leg
was caught between o stump and some
portion Of the engine. completely crushing
it, while his right side was badly scalded.
In this position he remained several hours
before he couldbe extricated, conscious, and
suffering the most intense sgony during the
whole time. He was finally relieved and
was taken to Fair Bluff, where the injured
leg was amputated above the knee. He
now lies in q very critical coalition al
though hopes are entertained that he may
recover. His wife is with I'm, and every
care and attention is rendered hiGi by the
road officers and his friends.
There were no others injured at all. ex-
cept the fireman and Q wood passer, who
were slightly bruised.
The track has been cleared, the train
arriving here last night having run all oil
tho way through.
