dispatch from Louisville, Ken
lucky to the Chicago Times: "a
nice little scandal has just been
developed in the Chancery Court
here, in regard to c. c. Bowen,
member Of Congress from the
Charleston, S. C., District, which
will probably result in his serving
q term in another sort Of public in
stitution. Previous to 1860 he was
married, but managed TO obtain .
divorce from his wife. In Janu
airy, 1860, he was married to
Miss Labetha Park, in Wa
kulla, Fla, representing himself
TO be q widoWer. He lived
with her till April, 1867, when he
abandoned her, and took up with
another woman and lived in open
adultery with her. Mrs. Bowen
came to this city shortly after the
abandonment by the honorable
villain, and on the 4th Of January
last fled q petition for a divorce,
upon the grounds Of d~esertiOn,
abandonment and adultery. No
response was made and the case
still remains on the docket Yes

A MEETING Of Democrats was
held at Red Bank, New Jersey, on
the 25th ult., where DR.. H. T.
Helmbold, of New York, was nom.
mated as the:chOice of that meet,
ing as candidate for President. Il
has been long known that the
Democratic party has long been
determined in their enmity!to the
Radicals, aud we presume they
think no more " bitter pill" could
be given them than this.
The same meeting declared its
preference for Jno, Knapp, Esq,
editor Of the st. Louis Republican,
for Vice President.

More FATAL SHOOTING. - At
about II o'clock last Tuesday
night, j. r.. Bowen, Esq who was
stopping at the hotel in Goodman,
Holmes CO., was assaulted in. the
bar-room by two brothers named
Rayford. Bowen shot and killed
both of them. 1t is believed that
the killing was justifable, although
Bowen was yesterday examined
and committed to Jail for trial on
a charge Of murder. The affair
created considerable excitement in
Goodman, and we shall give the
full particulars in our next issue.

boutwell,, the Massachusetts,
Secretary Of the Treasury has been
working up a batch of lying state
ments to be used by Radicals in the
coming Congressional campaign,
In these cunningly devised stats.
Tics, the monstrOus assertion Is made
that the annual expenditures ofthe
Government under Grant are less
than under Buchanan, the Demo-
cratic President. The Radicals are
capable, as the record daily proves,
Of any and every act of baseness and
infamy. In this showing of the
New England Secretary II Is asser-
ted that the annual expenditures
per head are less than two dollars.
Facts, however, furnished by the
department, the official figures, ex-
pose the infamous statement COM
pletely. They are as follows, tax.
ing the last year Of Buchanan's adj
ministratiOn, In 1860, aud the pres
ent year Of Grants,.lS7O:
1850. buchanan ...............S @,O25Ts7s1
1870. Grant................... 800, il3,955,G
Excess, 1910 .............. 2a9!OsI,E 7aW
From this it is a very easy mat
ter to see that the expenditure du.
ring the last year Of Grants admin
~istratisn is something over four
times as great as under Buchanan,
or ever eight dollars per capita, Inc
stead of two, as under the admins
tration Of Buchanan. So much for
Radical honesty and veracity.

Samuel Pods Sufferinks.
BY THE ARkANSAw KNIGHTENGAL.

BY THE ARKANSAw KNIGHTENGAL.
The sun was setting like a hen
Upon his western nest,
And if she wasn't purity red,
Why then may be blest!
His rays were slantendicular,
And as around they fell,
The deestrict looked like all on fire,
And had brimstun smell.
Young Samvue Pod-old Podses SON
Was lookin' at the sky,
When from the coward, back OF him,
There came female cry.
He wiped his noze upon his sleeve,
And turned him round about,
And when he saw the thing no saw,
He gave an awful shout.
Upon the bosom of fence
Rechned Jerushy Dow.
While at her came, with hilgus roar,
A ramparagous COW.
The varnint belered awiuly,
And, pausing in his course,
Did rip Jerushy's petticut5
With most tremenJus force.
ooh, laws a massey! help me, SAM"
Jerushy did exclaim;
And Samyule drew his jacknfe forth,
And then put back the same.
"SMeet made said he, courageously,
"Just hold the critters horns,
Or else, when | come up he'll be
A treadin' on my cornS."
She quickly smiled her gratchood-
When swift the varmint stoops,
And in a moment had Miss Dow
hanging by her hoops.
Then Samyule's latent dander riz,
And, with cry of wrath,
He seized heavy cistern pole,
And stood in that cows PATH
The COW was seized with wild alright,
And let Je rushy fall,
Then winked her eye time or two,
And wasn't mad at all!
The conkering hero dropped Il is pole
And few to where Miss Dow,
Was leanin' up agin the fence,
And cussin at the COW.
She met him with butcheous blush,
And picked apart some moss,
And with delishus grace she said,
ri b'leeve youv re saved me, hossv'
Then Samyule Pod was overcome
BY what he underwent,
And pulling UP mis- galusses,
Upon his knees he bent.
Says he: "Jerushy promise me
Before again we part,
That you will take the name of Pod,
And eese my akiug heart"
Says she: "Miss Dow, sir, if you please,
And if you must know all,
I've promised Aliksander Bangs
To marry him next H.
Poor Samyule paused to hear no more,
But burst out into eroans,
And pulled his hair and scratched hisself
And tore his pantaloons.
He clum the fence lunacious]y-
He wollered In the mire-
He rolled hisself all round about
AS though he would expire.
he clum into an apple tree,
And then clum down; and then
He knocked his head into his fist,
And cussed amt cussed again.
He tore off both his galuses,
And tied them round his throat;
But when he tried to hang hisselG
He found he couldn't go it.
The dark duck pond invited him
He plunged beneath the wave,
And with cuss upon his lips,
He sank into his grave.
But as for that, Jerushy Dow,
So far from feeling papgs.
She's come and gone and went and wed
Young Alexis ander Bangs!

Affeckshunate young men, be warned
by Samyule Podses woe;
And thank the pote who tells you Of

Judge Bagley, trippled and fell
down the court house stairs and
broke his neck, it was great ques-
ton how to break the news to
poor Mrs. Bagley. But finally the
body was put into Higgins wagon
and he was instructed to take it to
Mrs. B., but to be very guarded
and discreet in his language, and
not to break the news to her at
once, but do it gradually, gently.
When Higgins got there with his
freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bag
ley came to the door. Then he
said:
Does the wilder Bagley live
here?'
