The Washington Star gives this por-
trait OF John w. Garrett, one Of our
railroad kings, as he appeared at re-
cent banquet They saw a short,
plumby individual, o; Pickwickian am
plitude at the waistband, with an over
plus OF neck-topping, bald head, fringed
with white hair and tufts ofwhite side
whiskerS, and a round face, to which a
peculiarly childlIke innocence is given
by colorlcss Grecleyan complexion and
mild blue eyes. Not a face likely
to belong 10 hard, rcsolu,e railroad
potentiate, if there is any truth
in physioEnOmy! John w. Garrett
is fity-one years oil, looks seventy
at the roof OF his head aud thirty in
the face. Like Greeley, whom he re-
sembles in face, he does not smoke,
chew or drink. He has the reputation
of being atiable, and singularly even
tempered under all the fret and strain
of his varied and widespread business
operations. Whether he swears little
in a bland way is not known to me:
Perhaps he does under peculiar provo
cations, as for instance some aggrava'
ting trick of Tom SCOTS in turning up
Jack at a close point in the game.

Lorue and Louise 10 visit America.

Information has been received at
Washington that the Marquis OF Lor"e
and Princes Louise will visit this
country in the fail. They will first
visit the Dominion and afterwards go
to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and
Baltimore, arriving at Washington
about the time that the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis is expected there. Thu.
visit of the Princes Louise and her non
roval husband is believed to have d.
rect reference to the project Of a mar
rage between the younger sister OF the
Princess and Prince Frederick Grant.
1t is understood that Mr.. Richardson,
now in Europe, has received instructions
to secure the services Of several court
ushers familiar with the etiquette Of
European royalty, to reinforce the staff
of Door-keeper Dent at the White
House against the opening of the next
court season at Washington. An enter
prising livery stableman from the
Eastward has already arrived to make
arrangements for providing next winter
a supply Of stylish coaches, with liver
led servants, for hire by the month,
week, or day.

Many thousands OF persons are depend

calculated that, counting the prisoners

The Detroit Free Press says that
when Chandler was q candidate for re-
election to the Senate from that State,
Harlan endorsed Chandler-endorsed
his temperance habits-and now Chan

it will require some stretch of con-
scierce to say that Harlan is honest;
but, then, Harlan, without apparent

Pardon of Ex.Copgressman Bowen.

Pardon of Ex.Copgressman Bowen.
Saturday afternoon at three o'clock,
the Marshal of the District Of Columbia
received the pardon granted in the case
of Hon. C. c. Bowen, who was recently
convicted and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for bigamy, which reads as fol-
lows:
Ulysses S. Grant, President OF the
United States. To all whom it may
concern, these presents shall come greet
ing:
Whereas, on the 18th day OF June,
1871, in the Supreme Court OF the DIS,
trict Of Columbia, holding a criminal
term, one C.. C.. Bowen was conVic'edo o,
bigamy, and sentenced to be imprisoned
for two years and to pay two hundred
and fifty dollars fine.
And whereas it is presented that he
was innocent of any violation OF the
law. that he acted in good faith, be-
LEVINE his former wife to be dead; and
il appears that he rendered good service
70 the cause OF the Union during the
rebellion and since its termination, and
has cudeavored to lead an honest and
upright lie, and for these reasons eleven
OF the jurors who found the verdict
against him, and many other citizens OF
the highest consideration and weight,
urge his pardon, ard United States
Attorney Fisher would be gratitied by
the exercise of Executive clemency.
Now, therefore, lie it known, that !,
L. S. Grant, President of the United

the premises, divers other good and sui
ficient reasons me thereunto moving, DO
hereby grant to the said c. G. Bowen a

The ExiIed Corn.s,,.s,i-ts.

NEW YORK. September ga correspon-
dent of the London Times, writing from
Cberbourg, August %, says: an the dock
yard went over one of the-ships which is
being fitted out for the communist prison
ers condemned to transportation. The ships
name is Garronne. She is screw steamer
of 1000 or $500 tons burden, and having
been originally built as transport for
horses, is unusually lofty between decks.
The arrangements made for the prisoners
are as follows: On each deck. four separate
compartments are being built, two on each
side, each running nearly half the length OF
the side, and being about loo feet long by
IL or Is feet broad. The sides OF the COM
partments are formed of strong iron rail
ings, placed at a sufficient distance from
the side and from the hatchways leading TO
the engine room to afford a clear passage
around, and to prevent the possibility OF the
prisoners doing any damage either to the
sides of the ship or the machinery. Round
the sides Of the compartments beaches are
being fitted, and hooks are being driven
into the beams from which hammocks are
to he hung. At each end, outside of the
cage, but pointed toward the prisoners, a
small brass gun is placed on a platform
During the voyage the gun will be kept
loaded and guard of thirty or ferty ma
rines will be constantly on duty TO prevent
an outbreak. On the lower deck will be
the sick bay, with low iron bedsteads and
every convenience for surgeon and attend
ants. The Garronne is intended to take SIX
hundred prisoners in all, one hundred and
twenty to one hundred and fifty being thus
placed in each cage Their destination is
supposed to be New Caledonia"

EUu0ti0ual INSANITY.

The Cleveland Leader has the following
singular narration:
day or two since an Elyria girl of sew
enteen summers arrived in this city to visit
some friends. A friendly chat followed the
hearty welcome she received, and in the
evening three gentleman visitors tapped at
the door, were received. and sat down in
the parlor. They were no sooner seated
than the Elyria girl approached and kissed
them, and then walked about the room,
showing the same favor to all the gentle
men present. This done, she confounded
the already surprised company by bound
ing into the yard, with a hearty laugh, and
"smacking" her lips against the gardeners;
and then stalking into the street to see who
she could next devour with her kisses.
The friends of Miss Elyria at last became
alarmed, and insisted that she should ac-
company them into the house. She did so,
and TO all the questions put about her
strange conduct, answered with wild,
ringing laugh and endearing caresses. The
visitors. seeing that insanity was at the
bottom of the most admired disorder that
had disturbed the good cheer of the eve
ming, stood not upon the order OF leaving,
but left at once. The young lady was left
alone for the evening, and the amazed
family next morning found that she knew
nothing of what had transpired. Her con-
duct was related to her, and she was en-
tirely ignorant of it all. This was clear
case Of emotional insanity.

Question of Martial Law.

We copy the following special dispatch
from the St. Louis Republicdl:
WASHINGTON, d. c., September DIS
patches have been sent from here to admin
istration papers intimating that Grant was
not very anxious to accede to the request of
Scott that martial law be declared in the
York and Spartansburg districts of South
Carolina. According to the very best of
administration authority, these dispatches
have done the President great injustice.
The latter was willing upon the first repre-
sensations made by Scott forthwith to issue
a proclamation declaring martial law, and
to order down there all the available troops.
In the cabinet meeting he took this position,
and insisted upon the most vigorous enforce
ment of the Ku-KJux law Two of his cab
met ministers dissuaded him, however from
proceeding so rashly, and argued that the
Attorney Generals opinion upon the powers
of the executive under the bill should be
first ascertained and the situation discussed.
1t is expected that the Attorney Generals
opinion viii be forthcoming by next Friday,
when this subject will again come up for
discussion
