MARCH THE FOURTH.
some Events OF the nav.

II 1--@o ~ gsAAE VI the hay,
This being the 4th Of March we take the
occasion to say that it is quite an eventfuI
day In history. 1t is the anniversary OF
the martyrdom of ST. Lucius in the wear
253. Don Pedro, of Portugal, was born
March 4, 1854. Lord Chancellor Somers.
OF England, was born on this day in 1852
Saladin, thesgreat Sarscenic warrior. who
overthrow the short-lived Latin KINGDOM
OF Jerusalem, and successfully bore The
brunt OF the third crusade, died March 4
1193. Bernard Gilpin, the s'Good." the
Apostle of the North as he was styled. of
Westmoreland, England, died on this dsy
In 1888, as did also Thomas Hickman. the
renowned Gothic Architect of the Middle
Ages. Many other interesting events
might be enumerated as having occurred
on this day. The 4th of March is chiefly
interesting to Americans as having been
the Inauguration day of our Presidents
nom the formation of the Government to
tne present time. We have seen it some.
Wnere stated that the 4th of March ia the
only day In the 1865 of the years ending
with the odd numbers l, 8, 5, z, and
., I'm which years inaugurations al
ways take place. on which Sunday
comes but once in g hundred years. and
that for this reason it was selected as the
day for our Presidential inaugurations.
Washington was inaugurated April 30.
1873, but during the first administration
the 4th Of March was designated as the
time, and all of our subsequent Presidents
were inaugurated on that day. Since the
formation OF the government there have
been fifteen regularly elected Presidents,
all OF whom, with the exception mentioned.
were insugursted on the 4th of March.
There have, however, been with the pres
emit, twenty Presidential terms since i789. |
Washington, Jefferson, Madison jackson |
and Lincoln having each been twice elect

non. Three of the Presidents inaugura- |
ted on this day, Harrison, Taylor and Lin
coin, have died (ths latter being killed. |
before the close of their administrations.
But three of the Vice Presidents ever be-

The GubernatOriRl ImbrOgliO-Who
is GOvernOr-CIaytOn still Holding
ON, and has no Intention of Giving
UP.
MEMPHIS, March 3.-The Avalanche
Little Rock special tonight says: ''He
who could compass the political situation
here with all its rsmifcations and details
the movement of sudifferent factions
would have to be wiser than Solomon.
who is Governor, that's the question
To the demand of the Lieut.. Governor
for the Office few days since, Clayton
responded that the Lieutenant Cover
nor had been misinformed when he sup
posed that he was suspended from Office
by the passage of the impeachment reso-
buttons before articles were presented to
the Senate when quorum was present
but on Thursday the new managers passed
and announced the impeachment in due
form.
Clayton continues TO exercise the func-
tons of Governor, and from the tone of
Sunday mornings Republican, it is pre-
sumed he has no notion of giving up.
That paper says:
"When we spoke of sending men to
thenethermost depths of hell who attempt
ed to take possession of the Executive
Office, we meant just what we said.
There was no bravado about it, and if the
Gazette and its friends think there was,
let them attempt it. The Gazette says
johnson is rightfully acting Cover nor,
and johnson swears he is. We say he is
not; and our side being in possession, all
we can do is to act on the defensive. But
it is not so with johnson and his Demo-
cratic hackers. They are out of posses
sion, and can only get it by an aggressive
movement. We calmly await their ap-
proach."
When it is remembered that this paper
is but a reflex of Clayton's opinion it
would seem TO convey more than is
stated-that in fact Clayton does not in
tend to give up the Office under any cir
cumstances.
But here comes another view. To-
morrow is the day Clsyton's Senatorial
term begins and he wants to go to Wash
ington, but it having been settled that
johnson would be his successor if he goes
his friends, Mallory, Hadley Sar
Der ct al swear he shan't go and
leave them to the tender mercies of John
son. But Clayton is willing even to sac
rifice them and go if he can rid of i'm
parchment in time; but they say the mat
ter shall not be settled until it is too late
for Clayton to accept the Senatorship.
Here is q middle. You need not be
surprised to learn before to morrow that
Clayton has formed a combination with
the leading Democrats to suppress the
articles of impeachment, or refuse to
prosecute them on condition that he go
to the Senate, The House meets to night
to take action in regard to the matter.
What the hour will bring forth, even the
wisest and shrewdest politicians do net
pretend to prophesy.
The contract work on the Helena and
Iron Mountain Railroad has been let to

menced next Tuesday.

NEW YoRK, March S.-The Tribune's

telegraphed further particulars of the
triumphsl march of the Germans into and

popular disturbances seem to have been
complete and almost superfuous. Upon
entering the city one German division
stacked arms and picketed their horses
opposite the Palais De La Industrie.
The men threw themselves upon the
ground, and Parisians, mostly of the
lower classes, gathered about them and
examined their accoutrements and con-

opposition to the Bill Paying South
ern LOyaIistS Claims.
The amendment allowing ayment of
the claims TO loyal citizens in the South

during the war, will be strongly opposed
by the House. We'll posted parties assert
that it would cost the government at least
$4,000, 900. A compromise will posi-

He says that without appropriations for
these purposes, at least SIS large as allow
ed by the House, many of the troops will

Arrest of Supposed Railroad Rob-


Several days ago robbery was commit
ted on railroad train between Atlanta and
Chattanooga, and kilograms were sent to
this city to arrest certain parties. Il was
stated that two men committed robbery
and then jumped from the train. One Of
them struck against the embankment,
bounded back and fell under the locomo-
tive, which took off both of his legs, and
we believe has since died The other party
escaped. Last night John Oaprand was
arrested, and brought to the police head
quarters in this city He is supposed to
Fave been one of the parties who commit
ted the robbery, as he answers to the name
telegraphed, and his face and head are
badly bruised, while his neck is swollen
and black. He represents himself as a
Spectator from Kentucky, but whatever he
is will doubtless appear at his trial this
morning.

The Cow with the GsCrumpIed,,
Horn

We observed yesterday COW in rather
dangerous condition, and in the possession
of but limited territory. She had been
grazing on the bluff back of the jail, and
continuing her peregrinations in that di-
rection, got down to the edge CT the
water. The sudden rise in the river has
cut off her walking privileges, and there
she stands on projecting rock, with not
even sufficient space for the animal to turn
round. 1t is impossible to scale the bluff
or perpendicular rock on one side, and she
does not feel inclined to take to the water,
which, at the present stage looks wild and
turbid. In this dilemma the animal has
remained for day and half What will
be the fate of this perhaps favorite mich
COW, this morning will probably reveal.
If there has been another rise during the
night, she has ere this probably hoated off
with the current, but if the decline in the
river has been sufficient, she may have
escaped the difficulties that attended her.
