fuence, to a great extent, the appro-
priation was made.
Before going to press we have re-
ceived the Clarke Courier which in
forms us that the official vote on the
question of subscription for 100000
to the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, in
that county, shows that there were 1856
votes polled, of which $50 were for and
76 against subscription-the majority
being 5s3. We congratulate the friends
of the road upon this very important
decision. All hail, say We, to little
Clarke, and John 0. Crown, the editor
of the Courier, who so nobly battled in
the front rank, for this great and mighty
enterprise.

City Life.

A carefully prepared article on New
York life, in the Courier des tniS, con-
tains the following statements:
There are not less than ten thousand
families in New York whose annual
expedtures for mere livelihood are at
an average of $4,000; that there are
one thousand who spend from S25r 900
to $4,000; that from sixty to seventy
families 90 TO the extreme OF from S4O,-
900 to 100000. The inain motive
prompting this extravaganza Is the
everweening ambition for notoreity, as
is seen in the fact that so many live IN
hotels in the winter at New York, and
in summer at popular resorts, amid
every form OF discomfort, at an expense
greater than is requisite TO keep up the
most princely palatial establishments Of
European noblemen. Of all the thou
sands thus living, the writer estimates
that not more than one-third have any
nermanent, reliable business on which
TO depeud; the remainder consisting OF
speculators and adventures, who may
in a week be left without resources.
AS a specimen OF the contrast which
thus builds up a city OF luxury rather
than OF fortune. the editor gives this ex
ample: People truly rich-and there
are some very rich-are not those who
live the most extravagantly. To be
and TO appear to be are two things; and
as it is necessary to appear at any price
to be what one is not, it is only those
whose fortune is established, as the
Astors and the Stewarts, who can afford
themselves the luxury Of a simple style
Of living. When q man owns sixty
millions of dollars be has no need OF
wearing in his shirt. bosom brilliants
worth ten thousand dollars, and have
himself dragged about by six horses.
He has right to have only PLAIN white
shirt.bosoms, and to take his walk Oh
foot after dinner without fear OF passing
for a stingy man, or OF sponglng on his
bootmaker. When Prince Arthur was
at New York he went every evening on
foot cane in hand, from the Brevoort
House 10 the Central Park. and no one
would take him for a splurge. If an
agent on Change had done this he
would lose the confidence Of his GUS
toners, and, what is worse, the esteem
of his wife and the respect Of his ser
wants" = r-

that Monroe and Hop Martin were
out in the mountain that day, Friday
last, hunting sheep. This Bill denied
upon examination. Monroe was then
first seen and his tale heard. He was
not allowed to see Hop until his story
was fully given. They agreed that they
left the house, one OF them about one
mile from where the murder was COM
mitted, and that they went up the
mountain and stayed together until they
returned. But one said they came back
before sundown and the other that they
returned one hour after dark.
Without being formally arrested,
these men were kept until the next day,
but not allowed to talk to each other.
Soon in the morning Colonel Colyar
started with one Of them to show his
trip through the the mountain, which
he did, climbing and clambering until
they reached a point on the noun
tain, between three aud four miles from
home, then returning by a different
route. Immediately afterward the
OlucE was ldheu anu ulEcClcu W tIaNel
over the route which they both agreed
they had travelled together only
last Friday evening, and he reached
the mountain by road at least two
miles from the point W here the other
reached it. The two routes, going and
returning, were totally different, and no
man ever took q walk with more trepi-
dation than did the last one, knowing
the other had first been over the ground.
These two men were born and bred at
the foot Of the mountain, and knew
every path.
This was regarded as the strongest
sort Of evidence, but on examining their
shoes it was found they exactly con-
tirmed to the measures. The tracks
in the field showed one shoe to be
about a number nine, broad heel, and
the right shoe run down. The other
was a small shoe, and the shoes OF both
parties suited the tracks exactly.
Both of these men lived on an adjoin-
ing farm to Mr.. Hooton, in sight of his
house had long been hostile to him,
and had threatened his life

MURDER WILL OUT.
Extraordinary story OF Circumstan-
tiaI Evidence.

From the Nashville Banner.
Two men were arrested in Franklin
county, last Tuesday. as the murderers
OF Elmore K. Horton.
The facts of this rather extraordinary
case are, that Mr. Horton, who lived
about fourteen miles below Winchester,
and near the mountain, was shot from
his horse by some persons from a con-
cealed place il the corner Of fence.
Several persons heard the guns, and the
dead body was found few minutes after
ward. Upon examination 1t was found
that two men had been concealed in a
corner OF the fence just where the road
made a sudden turn into a little branch,
and from the horses tracks and the
place where the BODY was found, it was
clear that he was shot when the horse
was drinking The cracks OF the fence
had all been stopped with weeds except
the one through which the guns were
put. This was just before sundown last
Friday evening. Horton was returning
from town and was within a mile Of
home, in thickly settled neighborhood,
there being several houses in sight
The coroners jury gave verdict that
the killing was done by two unknown
persons.
The death OF Mr.. Horton was tele-
graphed TO Colonel A s. Colyar, Of this
city, who at once commenced TO make
inquiries, but found that no one had left
the settlement. Taking two or three re,
liable men with him, Colonel Colyar
went rapidly from house to house, to
hear the story OF every man and his
family, interrogating each separately,
as to his whereabouts on the day oi
the murder, and at the school house
where the children were all examines
separately. One boy stated that g
boy named Bill Martin told hin

Immortality

How beautiful the following gem
from the pen of Prentice, and how happy
the heart that can see these beauties as
he portrays them;
"Why is it that the rainbow and the
cloud come over US with beauty that
is not of earth, and then pass away, and
leave us to muse on their faded lovi,
ness2 Why is it that the stars which
hold their nightly festival around the
midnight throne are placed above reach
oil our limited faculties, forever mock
ing us with their unapproachable glory
And why is it that bright forms OF
human beauty are presented to our
view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams Of affection to
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our
hearts2 We are born to higher destiny
than that of earth. There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades
where the stars will be set out before
US like islands that slumber on the
ocean, and where the beautiful being
that passes before US like q meteor will
stay in our presence forever.

The Government has done it at
last. An ex-rebel soldier, one Of Long
streets men, we believe, has had his
official head taken off, and is no longer
a clerk in the Interior Department.
The subject was considered in Cabi-
net, and finally referred to Attorney
General Akermau, who decided that an
ex-Confederate soldier was incompetent
to hold an official position under the
Constitution az amended. In bis own
case, having been a member Of the
Georgia Home Guard, and an officer on
Toombs' staff, he is excepted from the
prohibition for the reason that neither
be nor Toombs ever expected 70 do any
fighting.
Longstreets case has not yet beer

Alleged Ku.KIuN Outrages Proved
False.

The committee appointed to inyesti.
gate the Ku-Klux outrages in Sebastian
county, Arkansas, related by certain
Radical officials OF that State, reported
at mass meeting few days since at
Salem, but failed TO give any informa,
ton regarding the outrages alleged to
have been committed. As will be seen
by the following from the Fort Smith
Era, Radical sheet Of recent date,
that journal says the committee, oI
which DR.. Moses Bell is chairman, con.
sists entirely OF well.known Republi.
cans. A large number Of persons 81
the alleged Ku-Klux infested districts
had assembled to give their testimony
voluntarily, and gave their evidenc,
under oath before Magistrates Of
the township, Hon. Jacob Sny
der and J. w. Riggs, Esq, botl
original and unfiinching Republicans
Forty-four witnesses were examined
nearly all Republicans, who swore and
testified over their signatures that the
report OF Ku-Klux outrages were utterly
unfounded. Among those thus testify
ing are numbers Of cOlored men, as also
the Rev. William J. Campbell, who
was reported to have been driven from
his home with twelve other Union men,
and forced 10 seek protection in town.
Mr.. Campbell pronounces the whole
story an Infamous falsehood from be-
ginning to end-that he never was mo-
Tested by any body, never left his home,
nor ever heard the Ku-Klux till the cry
was raised by interested parties. One
militia officer testifies that be had
twenty men on duty, and that they had
been out forty days; that they had not
made a single arrest, nor had
he seen any parties whom he
thought should be arrested. So
far as any necessity for the militia is
concerned, there has been total fail
ure TO show even a shadow Of excuse
for them. All Of the men belonging TO
the militia were called upon to testify as
to what they knew OF the Ku-Klux be-
ing in the county, OF any ourtages be-
ing committed by any parties or ofany
interference with the officers Of the law.
No one, however, had any affirmative
testimony to offer, and the committee
have thus far been unable to find the
first scintilla Of evidence Of that char
acter.
The investigation will be carried fnr-
ther, and should it appear that the
State officials organized the militia and
placed them in service to influence the
election in any manner, an indignation
mass meeting will doubtless be the re-
suit.
The investigation settles the Ku-KluI
question in Sebastian, a. well az other
counties in Arkansas.

CINCINNATI.
Weston Gives Out.

CINCINNATI, September 2S.-After the
conclusion of the eightieth mile, and
several additional circuits on the eighty
first mile, Mr.. Weston was so entirely
overcome by sleep that it was impossi-
bic to arouse him. 1t is announced
that he will not leave Cincinnati with
out accomplishing one hundred and
thirteen miles inside OF twenty-tour
hours. Ii is given out that he will re-
new the attempt tomorrow afternoon
at five o'clock, continuing until Satur-
day afternoon, same hour. Through
misunderstanding Mr.. Weston was not
aware until Tuesday afternoon Of this
week that he would have to commence
his task yesterday; he supposed it was
to-day, and has not, it is said, fortified
himself with the necessary sleep.
Secretary Boutwell, reached here at
three o'clock this morning, and speaks
tonight.

RICHMOND.
Virginia Republican Convention
The Resolutions.

RICHMOND, September 27.-The Re-
publican Convention yesterday, adopted
resolutions affirming devotion to the
Republican party, and pledge the party
Of Virginia to support the tariff, which
while seeming necessary to the revenue,
shall give incidental protection to Amer
lean industry and the National banking
system, affording sure and uniform cur
rency and absolute security to bill
holders. The policy OF extending Gov
ernment aid to States improving their
rivers and harbors, the absolute pay
m ent of all obligations to the Govern
ment, a sufficient yearly reduction OF
the National debt, and convince the
world of our determination ultimately
to extinguish it, while at the same
time to carefully avoid burdening the
people with onerous and unnecessary
taxation, and endorsing the admins
trstion OF President Grant, favor his re-
nomination.
