BULLOCK CLAIMS TO BE SCALA
WAC,

The following paragraph clipped from
the Rochester On. " Union and
american, of the 18th, will interest Gov.
Bullock and his friends, as containing
home testimony TO his worth:
AMENDE HONORABLE. We owe one
Mr.. Rufus B. Bullock, of the neighbor-
ing village of Albion, Orleans county, who
figures as ''GOvernor" of Georgia, an
apology. We have heretofore spoken OF
Mr. Bullock as carpet Dagger. The
term Is, technically, it appears, a misno-
mer. Mr.. Bullock is not a carpet-baggsr,
as he informed our reporter at the Brack-
cit House yesterday, but sea- awag. A
carpet-bagger is a Republican who settled
in the South since the breaking out of the
rebellion and now lives upon Office and
spoils. A scalawag is a fellow who
itintrated in the South before the rebel
lion, and pretended to be Democrat, anc
who, when decent men were disfranchlseC
and yagabonds became voters, turned Re
publican and thus secured position ant
plumber. 1t is due to Mr.. Bullock tina
| this distinction between the two classes o
| Southern pests, who rise as they rot
should be stated.

Death of Judge Reeves, of the Cir.
cult Court.
From the Memphis Avalanche, April %.
We reqet to announce the death of
Hon. George w. Reeves, Judge of the
Fifteenth Judicial District, which includes
Shelby county, at his residence, SOmer-
vile, Fayette county, at half-past five
o'clock, on Thursday evening, after an
illness of about three months. The prox-
innate cause of death was hemorrhage of
the lungs. The deceased gentleman was
a native of the State of North Carolina,
and was born in the year 1915, so that at
the time of his demise he was in his fifty
fifth year. About thirty five year ago he
removed from that State to Fayette county,
Tennessee, and took up his residence in
Somerville, where, for many years, he car
ried on the business of blacksmith. lie,
however, relinquished the business over
quarter of a century ago and common
ced the study of law. After being called
to the bar he enjoyed large and lucra-
tive practice, and in the year 1864, when
the courts of the State were reorganized
by ex-President Andrew johnson, then
military Governor, Mr.. Reeves received
the appointment of Judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial District. In May, 1869, he was
elected to the same position by the people
and continued to discharge the OnerOus
duties of the office till last December, when
he was stricken down by hemorrhage OF
the lungs, and Hon. J. T. Swayne was
appointed special Judge of the district.
Deceased sustained sad bereavement by
the death of his amiable partner in life,
about ten years ago, and he leaves a
family of seven, four of whomare minors,
to lament the loss of kind and affection
ate father. He was an honorable and
upright Judge, a consistent and conscien'
tious christian, and the intelligence of his
death will be learned with regret by al
who had the honor and pleasure of his
acquaintance during life.

threatening to kill Government employees

The most trouble has been, and is now

have themselves, and if they do not, he will
use vigorous measures to put them down.

CUBA.
Coming over--Jordan.

New York, April 26.-It is now a well
understood fact that Gen. Jordan, lately at
the head Of the Cuban army, will in few
days reach our city The reasons that
move him are that the contract entered
into by himself and the Junta was Only for
one years term of service, and that ex-
pied in February last. At the beginning
of the year the Junta sent out to Cespedes
a copy of the contract with Jordan, which
it is insisted on has been fully complied
with. The Junta, in sending a letter to
the President of the republic, stated that
they would continue to pay the sums stipu-
lated in the original contract with Jordan,
SO long az he should remain with the
army.
Nj. J. M. Lelnus, Cuban Envoy, be-
lieves that the presence of Jordan here at
this time will be of great service to the
cause, as he esteems him man of ability
and character and fully informed of the
relative strength of th5two contending par
| ties in Cuba.

FRUIT PROSPECTS.

A careful collation. of the information
given by Country papers as to the effect of
the late frost upon fruit is conclusive to
the point, that in this State and Kansas,
the damage so far has been wholly to
peaches, and that of that fruit, nearly or
quite one-half of the buds upon the trees
have been destroyed; the greatest des-
truction having occurred in Southern
Kansas. This, however, is not equiva-
lent TO the destruction of half the pros
pcctive crop; and If no more severe frosts
are experienced, we may anticipate a
very fair yield of peaches. In this State,
as well as Northern Kansas, the damage,
it is said, has been confined almost cxclu-
sively to the grated fruits, seedlings hay
ing escaped with very little injury

From the Rock Island Argus, April %.
One of those sad casesof insanity that are
attributable to the excitement consequent
upon protracsed religious revival, oc'
CURED in Davenport yesterday, on the
public streets, whereby young lady
mind is injured, if not destroyed for life.
The occurrence was witnessed by large
number of citizens, and by none without
a genuine feeling of pity. The facts are
as follows: 1''-...,'
q About cur miles from Ottumwa7 resld-
ed family by the name of Fisher. There
were two sisters in the family; the young
est, lydia E., aged %, is the one with
whom we haveto do. She came 10 ga
venport two years ago, seeking employ,
ment which she found at Joseph Shields
factory, where she tended loom. She
boarded with William Nelson, on Main
street. Here she lived eighteen months,
working early and late at the factory, and
winning the good will of every one by
her correct department and unexception-
able character. Six months ago she went
TO live in the family of E. A. Tillebem,
working still at Shields, aud there she re-
manned until the present time. -,
One night about week ago, Mr. Illle-
bein and his wife were awakened by
series of shouts, prayers, and singing,
from her room. Upon going thither they
found her laboring under temporary at
tack of insanity, superinduced by strong
religious excitement. She recovered in a
few days, and has appeared as well as
ever during the past few days, except an
occasional wild look about the eyes.
Just after dinner yesterday, she quietly
left the house, and walked directly thro'
the water above the railroad bridge, over
two and half feet deep and turned down
Third street. where she commenced TO
swing her parasol, shout, and conduct
herself like demented. Mr.. Tillebeln had
left his home few moments before, and
took the street cars down to Western av-
enue, where, after transacting some bust
ness, he turned down to Second street.
and in walking up he met Miss Fisher
coming toward him, with rabble OF boys
following. Her clothes werewet through
and through, soiled, and torn, and she
was talking incoherently. Mr.. T. could
scarcely believe his own eyes that this
was the neatly dressed girl he had left
quietly eating dinner with his wife half an
hour before. An officer who had been
watching her movements came up, and
the two persuaded her to go up to Major
Schnitger's, where a room was furnished
her, and proper treatment administered.
Miss Fisher had recently been attending.
revival meetings at the Baptist Church,
and had become greatly aroused on the
subject of religion, with the above re-
suit. She is represented by all who know
her as very amiable girl, of strict integ-
rity, and pleasing manners. The best OF
medical attendance has been summoned.
and pleasant apartments assigned her at
the Jail, where she remains temporarily
until suit able place can be provided for
her.
